0:00:02 > 0:00:05In a land of myth and a time of magic, the destiny
0:00:05 > 0:00:08of a great kingdom rests on the shoulders of a young boy.
0:00:08 > 0:00:11His name... Merlin.
0:00:26 > 0:00:29WIND HOWLS
0:00:45 > 0:00:52Attrab i n-ingin-seo ocus oentaig le!
0:01:02 > 0:01:04BABY CRIES
0:01:46 > 0:01:49PHRRRT!
0:02:01 > 0:02:03Oh, come on! We're going to be late!
0:02:03 > 0:02:05Not if you get rid of THAT thing.
0:02:05 > 0:02:07I want you to arrive like the Princess you are.
0:02:07 > 0:02:09It's no fun in there.
0:02:09 > 0:02:13Fun? Who said anything about fun?
0:02:13 > 0:02:16It's certainly no fun chasing after YOU!
0:02:16 > 0:02:18I tried, Sir.
0:02:18 > 0:02:19I'm sure you did, Grunhilda.
0:02:23 > 0:02:25Go on, then.
0:02:30 > 0:02:33SHE GROANS
0:02:34 > 0:02:38- Perfect.- Perfect for what?
0:02:38 > 0:02:40Certainly not for walking in!
0:02:40 > 0:02:43Elena...!
0:02:53 > 0:02:58- Arthur. It is an exciting day. - The arrival of Lord Godwyn is always a cause for celebration.
0:02:58 > 0:03:02- And Princess Elena.- Yes. - I hear she is something of a beauty.
0:03:02 > 0:03:05- Really?- Oh, yes.
0:03:05 > 0:03:07Beautiful, charming, witty...
0:03:07 > 0:03:09strategic.
0:03:09 > 0:03:11- Strategic?- I have always thought so.
0:03:11 > 0:03:15We have always thought so. That is, Lord Godwyn and myself.
0:03:15 > 0:03:19That is, he finds you strategic, not Princess Elena.
0:03:22 > 0:03:26- He finds me strategic?- Oh, yes.
0:03:26 > 0:03:28And beautiful?
0:03:28 > 0:03:30DOORS OPEN
0:03:34 > 0:03:37- Father, what are you trying to say? - Lord Godwyn is a serious ally.
0:03:37 > 0:03:40The strength of such a match cannot be underestimated.
0:03:40 > 0:03:43- Please tell me you mean a jousting match?- I mean a love match.- Love?
0:03:43 > 0:03:48Well, not love. Love has nothing to do with it. The other bit.
0:03:48 > 0:03:51- You know... a permanent union.- Marriage?!
0:03:51 > 0:03:53I knew you'd understand. Godwyn...!
0:03:57 > 0:04:01Oh, it's been too long.
0:04:01 > 0:04:03Princess Elena, you are most welcome.
0:04:08 > 0:04:10You've put them in the best guest quarters?
0:04:10 > 0:04:12Everything's arranged. Princess Elena can't fail to be impressed.
0:04:12 > 0:04:16And Merlin, it would be good if the bags arrived BEFORE they did!
0:04:21 > 0:04:23What is it, Arthur? You seem troubled.
0:04:25 > 0:04:27My father had some...
0:04:27 > 0:04:31- surprising news for me. He expects me to marry Princess Elena.- Marry?
0:04:31 > 0:04:35Oh, don't worry, I'm not going to do.
0:04:35 > 0:04:37I wasn't worried.
0:04:37 > 0:04:39No.
0:04:39 > 0:04:41No, why would you be?
0:04:47 > 0:04:49It's strange, isn't it?
0:04:49 > 0:04:54- Elena couldn't be more different to Lord Godwyn.- No.
0:04:54 > 0:04:58Perhaps she takes after her mother.
0:04:58 > 0:05:02I never met her. She died when Elena was born.
0:05:03 > 0:05:06That can't have been easy.
0:05:06 > 0:05:08Hmm.
0:05:10 > 0:05:12Perhaps you've more in common than you think.
0:05:12 > 0:05:14Oh! Bad breath, for example.
0:05:14 > 0:05:17- Excuse me?- Appalling table manners.
0:05:17 > 0:05:21- Now, hang on...!- A good sense of humour. No, you're right - you have nothing in common.
0:05:26 > 0:05:28A word.
0:05:28 > 0:05:29Alone.
0:05:38 > 0:05:40I need to talk to you about Elena.
0:05:44 > 0:05:47I realise that this is a delicate situation.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49There's nothing delicate about her.
0:05:49 > 0:05:55Lord Godwyn, as you know, is not only a very good friend of mine, but a long-standing ally of Camelot.
0:05:55 > 0:05:58I've nothing against Lord Godwyn. I've nothing against Elena...
0:05:58 > 0:06:01- except marriage.- When we talk about your future, Arthur,
0:06:01 > 0:06:05we're not just talking about your personal happiness but the security of the whole of Camelot.
0:06:05 > 0:06:09You may one day be a husband, but more importantly you WILL one day be King.
0:06:09 > 0:06:12But I have no feelings for her, whatsoever.
0:06:12 > 0:06:15Then I would encourage you to find some.
0:06:20 > 0:06:22SHE WHIMPERS
0:06:29 > 0:06:32SHE CRIES OUT There, there, my sweetheart.
0:06:35 > 0:06:38Soon all this will pass.
0:06:56 > 0:06:57A-a-a-ah!
0:07:26 > 0:07:31A shruith inn Side, is Grunilda messe!
0:08:14 > 0:08:17I sincerely hope you bring me good news.
0:08:17 > 0:08:20The fathers are committed to the match.
0:08:20 > 0:08:24We have waited many years for this moment.
0:08:24 > 0:08:27It's only a matter of time.
0:08:27 > 0:08:31Your esteemed majesty, you have been most patient.
0:08:31 > 0:08:33Your esteemed majesty...
0:08:33 > 0:08:38- And the girl?- She has no idea that a faerie lives inside her,
0:08:38 > 0:08:40just waiting to emerge.
0:08:40 > 0:08:45But that cannot happen until her marriage to Arthur is complete.
0:08:45 > 0:08:48And it will be soon, I promise.
0:08:48 > 0:08:52Then you will have what you most desire,
0:08:52 > 0:08:57one of your own at the heart of Camelot!
0:08:57 > 0:09:00A Sidhe Queen.
0:09:10 > 0:09:15- Here. Let me assist you.- Please, this is something I can actually do.
0:09:32 > 0:09:34Slow down.
0:09:34 > 0:09:35No chance!
0:09:47 > 0:09:49That was very impressive.
0:09:49 > 0:09:51I'm not easily impressed.
0:09:51 > 0:09:53Well, neither am I.
0:09:53 > 0:09:55And I wasn't!
0:09:55 > 0:09:57Oh.
0:09:59 > 0:10:02I've been riding since I was a child.
0:10:02 > 0:10:04I don't get to do it as much as I'd like.
0:10:04 > 0:10:06Princesses don't.
0:10:06 > 0:10:10Apparently, my mother was an excellent horsewoman.
0:10:10 > 0:10:12I never met her.
0:10:13 > 0:10:15I never met mine, either.
0:10:18 > 0:10:20I...often wonder if I'm like her.
0:10:20 > 0:10:24I hope I don't take after my father entirely.
0:10:24 > 0:10:26Oh, you don't!
0:10:27 > 0:10:30I don't mean that in a bad way.
0:10:34 > 0:10:36So, the real reason why you beat me here
0:10:36 > 0:10:39is because I stopped to smell the roses.
0:10:39 > 0:10:44Oh... Thank you!
0:10:44 > 0:10:47It-it-it's beautiful.
0:10:50 > 0:10:51Atchoo!
0:10:57 > 0:10:59Shall I set up here?
0:10:59 > 0:11:01Merlin! What kept you?
0:11:01 > 0:11:04Do not leave me again.
0:11:04 > 0:11:08You were riding so fast, I thought you were eager for some time alone.
0:11:08 > 0:11:12Nobody likes a clever clogs, Merlin.
0:11:13 > 0:11:14No.
0:11:26 > 0:11:28Thank you. I had a lovely time.
0:11:28 > 0:11:29Me, too.
0:11:33 > 0:11:35See you soon, I expect.
0:11:37 > 0:11:38I hope so.
0:11:48 > 0:11:50Oh, dear.
0:11:51 > 0:11:54For once, Merlin, I completely agree.
0:11:59 > 0:12:03It's a big occasion. The potential joining of our two families.
0:12:03 > 0:12:10Indeed, this union would cement what has long been an unofficial alliance between our kingdoms.
0:12:10 > 0:12:13It would give me great pleasure.
0:12:13 > 0:12:17I can assure you my heart lies with yours.
0:12:17 > 0:12:21- As to THEIR hearts...who can say? - Well, it little matters.
0:12:21 > 0:12:27Affairs of state take precedence over feelings. Arthur knows that, and I'm sure Elena does, too.
0:12:27 > 0:12:30May I?
0:12:30 > 0:12:32You've been avoiding my gaze.
0:12:32 > 0:12:37No, no... My gaze isn't as sharp as it used to be.
0:12:37 > 0:12:40That's why I thought I'd move a bit closer.
0:12:40 > 0:12:43All the better to appreciate me, eh?
0:12:46 > 0:12:48Are you, er, having a good evening?
0:12:48 > 0:12:50I intend to!
0:12:50 > 0:12:54Oh, yes. A very good evening, indeed.
0:13:00 > 0:13:03- SHE HICCUPS - Oh, dear, I seem to have drunk
0:13:03 > 0:13:07a little too much of what is in that glass.
0:13:07 > 0:13:10What IS in that glass?
0:13:14 > 0:13:17I think that went OK, don't you?
0:13:17 > 0:13:19It'll be just fine, petal.
0:13:19 > 0:13:22I mean, I suppose it could have gone...better.
0:13:24 > 0:13:26I'm not the perfect Princess, am I?
0:13:26 > 0:13:28Poppycock!
0:13:28 > 0:13:32And what does that mean anyway, "perfect Princess"?
0:13:32 > 0:13:35Sounds perfectly boring!
0:13:35 > 0:13:36You've got spirit, child.
0:13:36 > 0:13:39If Arthur's got half a brain, he'll recognise that.
0:13:39 > 0:13:43I want to make this work, for Father's sake.
0:13:43 > 0:13:46I know how important it is to him.
0:13:46 > 0:13:48And I respect his judgement.
0:13:48 > 0:13:51Don't tell him I said that.
0:13:51 > 0:13:57I wouldn't dream of it. And you'd be best keep your doubts to yourself.
0:13:57 > 0:14:01These are dangerous times. Marrying a Pendragon will secure your future.
0:14:02 > 0:14:04You're right.
0:14:07 > 0:14:09Here...
0:14:09 > 0:14:12this will cheer you up!
0:14:12 > 0:14:16FROG CROAKS
0:14:16 > 0:14:19Our little secret!
0:14:20 > 0:14:22Mmm...
0:14:25 > 0:14:27Mmm!
0:14:27 > 0:14:29You're very special.
0:14:29 > 0:14:31Mmm!
0:14:31 > 0:14:34Believe me, I know!
0:15:03 > 0:15:06WHIPLASH-LIKE SOUND
0:15:10 > 0:15:12FLIES BUZZ
0:15:12 > 0:15:15WHIPLASH-LIKE SOUND
0:15:29 > 0:15:31SHE CACKLES
0:15:34 > 0:15:37I've seen some strange tongues in my time.
0:15:37 > 0:15:41Maybe she was suffering from an infection? Was it discoloured?
0:15:41 > 0:15:44- Discoloured? Yes!- Brown?- Purple.
0:15:44 > 0:15:47And long. Like...
0:15:51 > 0:15:54..this long.
0:15:54 > 0:15:58- That's not an infection. - No. It's magic.
0:15:58 > 0:16:01Some sort of magical creature has infiltrated Lord Godwyn's household.
0:16:01 > 0:16:03The question is, why?
0:16:03 > 0:16:05I don't know,
0:16:05 > 0:16:08but I have a feeling we should probably find out.
0:16:48 > 0:16:50FOOTSTEPS APPROACH
0:16:50 > 0:16:53WOMAN HUMS A TUNE
0:16:55 > 0:17:00- Can I help you?- I, er... - Something you need, perhaps?
0:17:01 > 0:17:07I wanted to enquire whether Princess Elena would like a perfume concocting.
0:17:07 > 0:17:09Essence of lavender, perhaps?
0:17:10 > 0:17:12That is a very bad excuse.
0:17:12 > 0:17:14Really?
0:17:14 > 0:17:18You don't fool me for one minute.
0:17:19 > 0:17:22You were looking for ME!
0:17:24 > 0:17:28- I was?- I understand.
0:17:28 > 0:17:32- It's all right.- I think, probably, I should be going.
0:17:32 > 0:17:35Elena won't be back for ages.
0:17:35 > 0:17:39Why don't we make sweet perfume together?
0:17:47 > 0:17:50- Pixie dust? - There's no mistaking it.
0:17:50 > 0:17:52Grunhilda is a pixie.
0:17:52 > 0:17:55It would explain a thing or two.
0:17:55 > 0:17:58If pixies have one weakness, it is for...
0:18:00 > 0:18:03..the more... distinguished gentleman.
0:18:03 > 0:18:06What are you trying to say?
0:18:06 > 0:18:11Grunhilda has shown a certain... interest toward me.
0:18:11 > 0:18:13She likes you?
0:18:14 > 0:18:17Oh, that is disgusting!
0:18:17 > 0:18:19Imagine...
0:18:19 > 0:18:22Imagine if she kissed you! Urgh!
0:18:22 > 0:18:23Merlin!
0:18:25 > 0:18:27Pixies are the servants of the Sidhe.
0:18:27 > 0:18:29To them, Elena could be very valuable.
0:18:29 > 0:18:32I think Elena may be a changeling.
0:18:32 > 0:18:36- A changeling? - Inhabited by a faerie at birth.
0:18:36 > 0:18:38It would explain the clumsiness.
0:18:38 > 0:18:41And Elena has no idea this thing's inside?
0:18:41 > 0:18:45And when the time comes, it will possess her entirely.
0:18:45 > 0:18:47And you think that time is now?
0:18:49 > 0:18:52The Sidhe live for more than 1,000 years.
0:18:52 > 0:18:54They're patient people.
0:18:54 > 0:18:57It may be that they have created this changeling,
0:18:57 > 0:19:04knowing that Lord Godwyn and the house of Pendragon would one day seek unity through marriage.
0:19:04 > 0:19:09And that would give the Sidhe something they want more than anything.
0:19:09 > 0:19:12A Sidhe Queen.
0:19:16 > 0:19:20Father, there is a...delicate matter I wish to discuss with you.
0:19:21 > 0:19:24Your proposal? Excellent!
0:19:24 > 0:19:30- You must make a fuss. Women like that kind of thing. Isn't that right, Morgana?- I've no idea!
0:19:30 > 0:19:34- I'm delighted to hear the news, though.- I couldn't be more thrilled. - She's a wonderful woman.
0:19:34 > 0:19:36She'll make a wonderful wife.
0:19:36 > 0:19:39No, she won't.
0:19:39 > 0:19:41Not for me, anyway.
0:19:45 > 0:19:51Father, I have tried to get to know Elena, but the truth is, I have no feelings for her.
0:19:51 > 0:19:54I'm sure she's a wonderful person,
0:19:54 > 0:19:58but I cannot marry someone I don't love.
0:19:58 > 0:20:01You can, and you will.
0:20:15 > 0:20:17WOMAN CRIES OUT
0:20:20 > 0:20:22CRIES CONTINUE
0:20:28 > 0:20:30A-a-a-ah!
0:20:31 > 0:20:34CLATTER
0:20:43 > 0:20:45You were right.
0:20:45 > 0:20:47Poor girl, no wonder she's got a wind problem!
0:20:47 > 0:20:52You should see what she's got trapped inside her. We have to tell the King.
0:20:52 > 0:20:55Merlin, Lord Godwyn is one of Uther's dearest friends.
0:20:55 > 0:20:57Accusing him of having a Sidhe for a daughter
0:20:57 > 0:21:01and a pixie for a nurse is not something that can be undertaken lightly.
0:21:01 > 0:21:03But Uther wants Arthur to marry her!
0:21:03 > 0:21:05Then we don't have much time.
0:21:05 > 0:21:07We have to find a spell that will force the faerie out of her.
0:21:07 > 0:21:09I don't know anything about Sidhe magic.
0:21:09 > 0:21:12Then it's time we learnt.
0:21:32 > 0:21:35- I wouldn't like to be in Arthur's shoes.- What do you mean?
0:21:38 > 0:21:41Forced to marry someone against his will.
0:21:41 > 0:21:44I don't think he'll marry her if he feels that way.
0:21:48 > 0:21:52I know it's hard to believe, but he may not have a choice.
0:21:52 > 0:21:55Even if it isn't what he wants.
0:21:59 > 0:22:01Even if his heart belongs to another.
0:22:06 > 0:22:08Even if she feels the same way.
0:22:08 > 0:22:13Gwen, we've known each other for too long. I can see it in your eyes.
0:22:13 > 0:22:16You like him, don't you?
0:22:16 > 0:22:18No.
0:22:18 > 0:22:20That would be silly.
0:22:21 > 0:22:23And he likes you.
0:22:26 > 0:22:28It can never come to anything.
0:22:29 > 0:22:32I'd like to think it was possible,
0:22:32 > 0:22:34but Arthur can't change 200 years of history,
0:22:34 > 0:22:38- no matter how much he may want to. - I know.
0:22:49 > 0:22:55I think my brain is going to burst, or my eyes just pop out of their sockets.
0:22:55 > 0:22:57Well, don't make a mess over THIS one.
0:22:57 > 0:22:59Why? Is it any more useful than any of the others?
0:22:59 > 0:23:02It's the last one we've looked at. It must provide the answer.
0:23:02 > 0:23:07- Go on.- There is this potion, created long ago by the Witches of Meredor,
0:23:07 > 0:23:12which, if I am right, will force the faerie out of the girl.
0:23:12 > 0:23:14Oh...!
0:23:15 > 0:23:17I have no idea how to make it.
0:23:17 > 0:23:21I have no idea what a lot of these ingredients are.
0:23:26 > 0:23:31- Guinevere.- I'm sorry, I know I shouldn't just turn up like this.
0:23:33 > 0:23:36Everyone's talking about your marriage to Elena.
0:23:37 > 0:23:43I know you said that it isn't what you wanted, but I also know that you can't always have what you want.
0:23:43 > 0:23:45I know that very well.
0:23:47 > 0:23:49Is what I want really that insane?
0:23:49 > 0:23:52Yes, Arthur. From anyone's perspective,
0:23:52 > 0:23:57apart from yours and mine, it's completely insane.
0:24:00 > 0:24:03Then I'm happy being insane.
0:24:05 > 0:24:08Surely it's better than being miserable?
0:24:08 > 0:24:11I don't think she will make you miserable.
0:24:11 > 0:24:13She has a good heart.
0:24:13 > 0:24:15As do you.
0:24:18 > 0:24:21We both know it can't be.
0:24:22 > 0:24:24And if I do it...
0:24:28 > 0:24:31If I marry her, what will you do?
0:24:33 > 0:24:36I will watch you grow into the King that Camelot deserves.
0:24:38 > 0:24:40It is as it should be.
0:24:51 > 0:24:53Please tell me you've fixed the potion.
0:24:53 > 0:24:55I have a very bad feeling about this.
0:24:55 > 0:24:58The Witches of Meredor are the worst recipe writers I've known.
0:24:58 > 0:25:01- Gaius!- I'm working on it...
0:25:01 > 0:25:05But we need to find the stamen of a dropwort flower.
0:25:05 > 0:25:08They're rarer than a four-leaf clover.
0:25:22 > 0:25:27I am honoured to be standing before you today,
0:25:27 > 0:25:32in the presence of our dear friend, Lord Godwyn.
0:25:32 > 0:25:36And his wonderful daughter, Elena.
0:25:38 > 0:25:41The people of this kingdom are very dear to me.
0:25:41 > 0:25:45This place is my life.
0:25:45 > 0:25:50I hope one day to continue the good work of my father
0:25:50 > 0:25:55and to make Camelot a place of peace and happiness.
0:25:55 > 0:25:59APPLAUSE
0:26:02 > 0:26:06It is my sincerest hope that you,
0:26:06 > 0:26:11Princess Elena, share these dreams.
0:26:13 > 0:26:18And with this in mind, I would like to ask you to do me the honour of being my...wife.
0:26:30 > 0:26:33- I got it. - Grown in boggy and marshy terrain.
0:26:33 > 0:26:36In the middle of boggy and marshy terrain.
0:26:36 > 0:26:39- Right in the middle. - You did a good job.
0:26:39 > 0:26:41This will sort things out.
0:26:41 > 0:26:44Hopefully, before tomorrow's wedding.
0:26:44 > 0:26:46Will it hurt her? When the faerie leaves?
0:26:46 > 0:26:48She'll feel like a new person.
0:26:48 > 0:26:51She probably doesn't realise how much trouble it's been causing her.
0:26:54 > 0:26:58Oh, master, I am sorry, but I think we may have a problem.
0:26:58 > 0:27:01I may be wrong, but you know how things are.
0:27:01 > 0:27:02Out with it!
0:27:02 > 0:27:08The serving boy, Merlin, knows Elena is a changeling.
0:27:08 > 0:27:12So? What can a serving boy do?
0:27:12 > 0:27:15He is Arthur's serving boy.
0:27:15 > 0:27:19I do not expect he will stay quiet for long.
0:27:19 > 0:27:24Do you know how long I have waited for this moment?
0:27:24 > 0:27:29Yes, sire, and I have been there with you, every second of the way.
0:27:29 > 0:27:34You have been there because we have chosen to keep you there.
0:27:34 > 0:27:36If the changeling is discovered,
0:27:36 > 0:27:41YOU will not be so useful any more.
0:27:41 > 0:27:44No, sire.
0:27:44 > 0:27:48As to this...Merlin,
0:27:48 > 0:27:52soon he will regret the day I ever heard his name.
0:27:52 > 0:27:55Let him learn who he's angered.
0:27:55 > 0:28:02Let him feel the power of the mighty Sidhe.
0:28:26 > 0:28:27HIGH-PITCHED SCREECH
0:28:58 > 0:29:00Aaaaagh!
0:29:12 > 0:29:15Please tell me that wasn't all of it?
0:29:19 > 0:29:22I don't think I've ever been so happy.
0:29:22 > 0:29:24BELCHES LOUDLY
0:29:24 > 0:29:27I'm almost as excited as if it was my wedding day.
0:29:27 > 0:29:33In fact, given half a chance, I'd definitely marry him myself.
0:29:33 > 0:29:35- Maybe that's not such a bad idea. - What?
0:29:35 > 0:29:38I'm serious. I don't love him.
0:29:38 > 0:29:40He doesn't understand me.
0:29:40 > 0:29:43He certainly doesn't love me either.
0:29:43 > 0:29:45He respects you.
0:29:45 > 0:29:49Yes, and I him, but is that enough?
0:29:49 > 0:29:51Well, yes, definitely.
0:29:51 > 0:29:56I would say it was enough. I mean, what is love, anyway?
0:29:56 > 0:29:58Here today, and gone tomorrow.
0:29:58 > 0:30:02Respect, that's what lasts.
0:30:02 > 0:30:07Ah, it's just nerves. Understandable, but not to be listened to.
0:30:07 > 0:30:11Silly girl. Oh, I don't know...
0:30:15 > 0:30:16That's it?
0:30:20 > 0:30:21Thank goodness for that.
0:30:21 > 0:30:23Well, there is one more thing.
0:30:23 > 0:30:27How are we going to get Elena to drink it with Grunhilda around?
0:30:30 > 0:30:32I think I might know a way.
0:30:38 > 0:30:39Well, hello there.
0:30:39 > 0:30:42Hello, indeed.
0:30:42 > 0:30:44I wonder, could you spare me a moment?
0:30:44 > 0:30:45But of course.
0:30:45 > 0:30:48Not here.
0:30:50 > 0:30:52Alone.
0:30:52 > 0:30:54The vaults beneath Camelot.
0:30:54 > 0:30:55The vaults?
0:30:55 > 0:30:59It's a very private place.
0:30:59 > 0:31:03- I can't walk in these shoes. - I have a wedding to prepare.
0:31:03 > 0:31:06No-one will disturb us.
0:31:06 > 0:31:08There may not be another opportunity.
0:31:08 > 0:31:12You surprise me, Gaius.
0:31:12 > 0:31:15But, oh, what a lovely surprise.
0:31:15 > 0:31:18I'll be right there.
0:31:21 > 0:31:24You look very handsome.
0:31:24 > 0:31:26The perfect bait.
0:31:26 > 0:31:30Merlin, if this doesn't work, if it seems she is overpowering me...
0:31:30 > 0:31:33- I will just watch and wait. - You will rescue me.
0:31:33 > 0:31:37And if it does work, let us never speak of it again.
0:31:37 > 0:31:39Hello, my lover!
0:31:43 > 0:31:47What a romantic place!
0:31:47 > 0:31:50I've been dreaming of this moment.
0:31:51 > 0:31:54- Me, too.- Longing for this time.
0:31:54 > 0:31:56Longing.
0:31:58 > 0:32:00At last!
0:32:08 > 0:32:09Ne onluce!
0:32:20 > 0:32:24You'll never know what you've missed.
0:32:24 > 0:32:26I'll take your word for it.
0:32:32 > 0:32:36Atot-oilg, a chomlae.
0:32:39 > 0:32:42Never speak of it, Merlin. That's what we agreed.
0:32:44 > 0:32:48Ar-focraim uait, asndot-roilce!
0:32:57 > 0:32:59Welcome, welcome.
0:33:04 > 0:33:09Lasa n-uile fil ocum ocus lasa nuile fil indium, ar-focraim atotoilg!
0:33:13 > 0:33:16You've got your staff? When the Sidhe is released, it might not be very happy.
0:33:16 > 0:33:18Don't worry, I'll be ready for it.
0:33:18 > 0:33:22You better be ready for me, first!
0:33:32 > 0:33:35I'll see how long I can hold her off. You'd better be quick.
0:33:39 > 0:33:41- Grunhilda? - It's only me.
0:33:41 > 0:33:43Where has she gone?
0:33:43 > 0:33:45I'm getting married in less than an hour.
0:33:45 > 0:33:47CRASHING AND SHOUTING
0:33:47 > 0:33:50- What was that? - Er, preparation for the wedding.
0:33:50 > 0:33:55Everybody's very excited. But you must be nervous.
0:33:55 > 0:33:57I am a little flustered.
0:33:57 > 0:34:00That is only to be expected, and just as I thought.
0:34:00 > 0:34:02I have brought you a tonic to calm your nerves.
0:34:02 > 0:34:04You are very kind.
0:34:04 > 0:34:06BACKGROUND COMMOTION CONTINUES
0:34:10 > 0:34:12I cannot believe this is actually my wedding day.
0:34:12 > 0:34:15Best to drink it all, for the full effect.
0:34:20 > 0:34:23- I really wish my mother was here. - Try another sip.
0:34:31 > 0:34:34AAAAAAAGH!
0:34:41 > 0:34:43I'm trying.
0:34:44 > 0:34:46Elena, this is going to make you feel a whole lot better.
0:35:10 > 0:35:14Not to worry, my dear, I think you must have fainted. Such excitement.
0:35:14 > 0:35:19Fainted? I feel amazing.
0:35:19 > 0:35:22I haven't felt this good in years.
0:35:22 > 0:35:24Where is Grunhilda?
0:35:27 > 0:35:29We'll look into it.
0:35:31 > 0:35:35- I've brought you your ceremonial sword.- Is that for me to fall on?
0:35:35 > 0:35:36Hopefully not.
0:35:40 > 0:35:42What's wrong?
0:35:42 > 0:35:47You wouldn't understand, Merlin. You have no idea what it's like to have a destiny...
0:35:47 > 0:35:49you can't escape.
0:35:51 > 0:35:56Destinies are troublesome things.
0:36:00 > 0:36:01You feel trapped?
0:36:01 > 0:36:04Like your whole life has been planned out for you,
0:36:04 > 0:36:06and you've got no control over anything,
0:36:06 > 0:36:11and sometimes, you don't even know if what destiny has decided is really the best thing at all.
0:36:15 > 0:36:19- How come you're so knowledgeable? Hmm?- I read a book.
0:36:25 > 0:36:29And what would this book tell you? Should I marry her?
0:36:29 > 0:36:31It's not really my place to say, sire.
0:36:31 > 0:36:34I'm asking you. It's your job to answer.
0:36:34 > 0:36:36If you really want to know what I think?
0:36:38 > 0:36:40I think you're mad.
0:36:40 > 0:36:41I think you're all mad.
0:36:41 > 0:36:44People should marry for love, not convenience.
0:36:44 > 0:36:48And if Uther thinks an unhappy king makes for a stronger kingdom, then he's wrong.
0:36:48 > 0:36:52Because you may be destined to rule Camelot, but you have a choice...
0:36:54 > 0:36:56..as to how you do it.
0:37:09 > 0:37:11TRUMPETS SOUND
0:37:28 > 0:37:30What do you think?
0:37:30 > 0:37:35Beautiful. There's no other word for it.
0:37:35 > 0:37:37Beautiful.
0:38:06 > 0:38:08My lords,
0:38:08 > 0:38:12ladies and gentleman of Camelot,
0:38:12 > 0:38:15we are gathered here today to celebrate,
0:38:15 > 0:38:18by the ancient rite of hand fasting,
0:38:18 > 0:38:22the union of Arthur Pendragon and Princess Elena of Gawant.
0:38:28 > 0:38:32Is it your wish, Arthur, to become one with this woman?
0:38:33 > 0:38:35It is.
0:38:35 > 0:38:39Is it your wish, Elena, to become one with this man?
0:38:43 > 0:38:44It is.
0:38:44 > 0:38:46Do any say nay?
0:38:49 > 0:38:54Then as we gather here today, we are all witness to this rite...
0:38:54 > 0:38:57Wait.
0:38:57 > 0:39:00There is something you would like to say, Arthur?
0:39:08 > 0:39:10Something I should have said a long time ago.
0:39:13 > 0:39:16Something from the heart I dared not speak.
0:39:20 > 0:39:25Elena, you...are a wonderful woman.
0:39:27 > 0:39:30A beautiful bride.
0:39:30 > 0:39:32But I cannot deny my feelings.
0:39:35 > 0:39:37You do not love me.
0:39:41 > 0:39:45And I think if you are honest,
0:39:45 > 0:39:47you do not love me either.
0:39:48 > 0:39:50No.
0:39:50 > 0:39:53Then we are both here out of duty.
0:39:57 > 0:39:59Can you forgive me?
0:39:59 > 0:40:02I agree with all you have said.
0:40:04 > 0:40:06Thank you, Arthur.
0:40:20 > 0:40:24- What did you think you were doing? - The right thing, father.- For who?
0:40:24 > 0:40:26For Camelot, or for yourself?
0:40:26 > 0:40:29The two things aren't entirely separate.
0:40:29 > 0:40:32Until you put duty before your feelings, you are clearly not ready to be king.
0:40:32 > 0:40:34When I'm ready to be king, I'll be a much better king
0:40:34 > 0:40:37for the support and strength of a woman I love.
0:40:40 > 0:40:43I can't imagine what's happened to Grunhilda.
0:40:43 > 0:40:45No. I'm sure she'll turn up.
0:40:45 > 0:40:48I hope so. It's most unlike her.
0:40:53 > 0:40:56There's something different about her.
0:40:56 > 0:40:58You're not changing your mind, are you?
0:40:58 > 0:41:01Goodness, no.
0:41:03 > 0:41:06I wish you well, Arthur Pendragon.
0:41:06 > 0:41:09I hope one day we both find the love we deserve.
0:41:13 > 0:41:18In the meantime, if you ever want to be beaten in a horse race, you know where to find me.
0:41:20 > 0:41:24He did the right thing, you know? You mustn't punish him.
0:41:24 > 0:41:26- They were neither of them in love. - That's not the point.
0:41:26 > 0:41:30- That's not the way things are done. - Maybe it's time things changed.
0:41:30 > 0:41:34I think he has the makings of a great king.
0:41:34 > 0:41:36You should be proud of him.
0:41:54 > 0:41:58So, I am still a single man.
0:41:58 > 0:42:01Indeed.
0:42:01 > 0:42:06I don't think you deserved her, actually. She's really very lovely.
0:42:06 > 0:42:11Well, I had hoped to have forsaken her for one equally as lovely.
0:42:11 > 0:42:14Who knows, maybe even more so.
0:42:14 > 0:42:18- I do not know of such a person. - Me neither.
0:42:19 > 0:42:21But I guess
0:42:21 > 0:42:23only time will tell.
