0:00:04 > 0:00:08the destiny of a great kingdom rests on the shoulders of a young boy.

0:01:14 > 0:01:16Calm yourself, my pretty.
0:01:16 > 0:01:19SNARLING
0:01:19 > 0:01:22We are home now.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58Gaius, there have been disturbing rumours from outlying villages.
0:01:58 > 0:02:02- Sire?- Someone, some kind of physician, is offering treatments.
0:02:02 > 0:02:05I fear magic may have been used.
0:02:05 > 0:02:07What is it that makes you suspicious?
0:02:07 > 0:02:09There are reports... of miracle cures.
0:02:09 > 0:02:14A boy thrown from a horse, a farmhand mauled by a boar.
0:02:14 > 0:02:16All hopeless cases, it seems.
0:02:16 > 0:02:19And yet each and every one has made a full recovery.
0:02:19 > 0:02:21It is very hard for me to comment, sire.
0:02:21 > 0:02:23I would have to examine the patients myself.
0:02:23 > 0:02:25That won't be necessary...
0:02:25 > 0:02:28as a new case has arisen here in Camelot.
0:02:28 > 0:02:31- Who?- The innkeeper.
0:02:31 > 0:02:32He has returned to work.
0:02:32 > 0:02:36That's not possible The condition was critical. I saw him only days ago.
0:02:36 > 0:02:39So you agree that magic must be involved?
0:02:39 > 0:02:40Well, I couldn't say for sure.
0:02:40 > 0:02:42Then go to the tavern and find out.
0:02:42 > 0:02:46- If sorcery is at work here, we must act quickly.- Yes, sire,
0:02:46 > 0:02:48I'll see to it right away.
0:02:51 > 0:02:55It's unbelievable. Uther has no problem turning to magic
0:02:55 > 0:02:57if his family are threatened.
0:02:57 > 0:02:59Keep your voice down, Merlin.
0:02:59 > 0:03:01He is such a hypocrite!
0:03:01 > 0:03:05He's also the King. So if you value your head, use it.
0:03:15 > 0:03:16Welcome!
0:03:18 > 0:03:20Gaius, what a pleasant surprise.
0:03:20 > 0:03:24- Evoric.- What can I get you? - Nothing, I just dropped in to see how you were doing.
0:03:24 > 0:03:27Much improved, as you can see.
0:03:27 > 0:03:29Indeed. A remarkable recovery.
0:03:29 > 0:03:31All thanks to you, Gaius.
0:03:31 > 0:03:33GAIUS CHUCKLES I think not.
0:03:33 > 0:03:37Evoric, I am, of course, delighted that you are well again,
0:03:37 > 0:03:41but I must ask you - from whom did you obtain your remedy?
0:03:41 > 0:03:44- I don't know what you're talking about.- You mustn't be afraid.
0:03:44 > 0:03:47I am not the King, after all.
0:03:48 > 0:03:51My wife, she was desperate.
0:03:51 > 0:03:55- I was slipping away.- Go on.
0:03:55 > 0:03:56She met a woman,
0:03:56 > 0:04:00a healer, in the Lower Town and she gave her a cure.
0:04:01 > 0:04:03Can I see it?
0:04:20 > 0:04:22Interesting.
0:04:23 > 0:04:26- Am I in some kind of trouble? - No, not at all.
0:04:26 > 0:04:28You've been most helpful.
0:04:36 > 0:04:39What was the nature of this treatment?
0:04:39 > 0:04:42- Hogwart and fenugreek.- Excuse me?
0:04:42 > 0:04:43Herbs, sire.
0:04:43 > 0:04:46Whoever prescribed them was highly skilled.
0:04:46 > 0:04:50Their grasp of the five principles of herbal conjoinment was...
0:04:50 > 0:04:52What about the boy, and the labourer?
0:04:52 > 0:04:55Surely they were beyond the help of such remedies?
0:04:55 > 0:04:58Not necessarily, sire.
0:04:58 > 0:05:00The physician's art can achieve great things.
0:05:00 > 0:05:04But not miracles! The innkeeper was fatally ill.
0:05:04 > 0:05:05You said so yourself.
0:05:05 > 0:05:08Yes, that was indeed my diagnosis.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10But my knowledge isn't perfect.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13There are many branches of my craft are yet mysteries to me.
0:05:13 > 0:05:16I could not heal the innkeeper.
0:05:16 > 0:05:17Someone else could.
0:05:22 > 0:05:25Are you absolutely satisfied that no magic was involved?
0:05:26 > 0:05:28Entirely, sire.
0:05:30 > 0:05:33Thank you, Gaius. You have set my mind at rest.
0:05:33 > 0:05:36My lord.
0:05:45 > 0:05:48I think it's great what you did.
0:05:48 > 0:05:52- Protecting the innkeeper like that. - What do you mean?
0:05:53 > 0:05:54He was a sick man.
0:05:54 > 0:05:56It was a matter of life and death.
0:05:56 > 0:06:00- Magic was his only hope. - But he didn't use magic.
0:06:02 > 0:06:05The potion was enchanted. I saw it with my own eyes. We both did.
0:06:05 > 0:06:08What you saw, Merlin, was a release of gaseous pressure.
0:06:08 > 0:06:11Entirely normal in a preparation of that kind.
0:06:13 > 0:06:17- But what about the totem? - What totem?- The totem.
0:06:17 > 0:06:20In the innkeeper's doorway. It bore the marks of the Old Religion.
0:06:20 > 0:06:22Nonsense.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25You're obviously tired, Merlin.
0:06:25 > 0:06:27I recommend you get some sleep.
0:06:28 > 0:06:29Well, ca...?
0:06:38 > 0:06:39CLATTERING
0:07:13 > 0:07:14Gaius?
0:07:16 > 0:07:19- Alice.- Oh.
0:07:34 > 0:07:36FOOTSTEPS
0:07:47 > 0:07:49How did you know I was in Camelot?
0:07:49 > 0:07:55I recognised your work. Your healing magic was always equal to none.
0:07:55 > 0:07:58Oh, Gaius, you've lost none of your charm.
0:07:58 > 0:08:02You've lost none of your skill. You saved the innkeeper's life.
0:08:02 > 0:08:05I did what I could. As I know you did.
0:08:06 > 0:08:09But my humble potion was not enough, it seems.
0:08:09 > 0:08:12Look at you.
0:08:12 > 0:08:15Always so solemn. So serious.
0:08:15 > 0:08:17And you, always teasing me.
0:08:20 > 0:08:21I've missed you.
0:08:23 > 0:08:24And I you.
0:08:26 > 0:08:2920 years. And here we are back in Camelot, together again.
0:08:29 > 0:08:32It almost seems as though nothing has changed.
0:08:32 > 0:08:34And some things never will.
0:08:34 > 0:08:37- Uther.- It's not safe for you here.
0:08:37 > 0:08:42- He suspects that magic is at work in Camelot. - But he doesn't know for sure?
0:08:42 > 0:08:45Not yet. But if you stay, he will find you.
0:08:45 > 0:08:50But, Gaius, healing is my only gift.
0:08:50 > 0:08:54- It is my living. I must buy food, I must pay rent.- But why here?
0:08:54 > 0:08:56The dangers are too great.
0:08:58 > 0:09:00Because I wanted to see you again.
0:09:17 > 0:09:20Dawn is almost upon us. I must get back.
0:09:20 > 0:09:24- Oh. You will come back tomorrow? Please?- Of course.
0:09:32 > 0:09:33SNARLING
0:09:33 > 0:09:37You have done well. The physician is vital to our plan.
0:09:38 > 0:09:40Please...
0:09:40 > 0:09:43- Must we use him this way? - I've told you before.
0:09:43 > 0:09:47Uther trusts him. He alone can get us close enough to the King.
0:09:47 > 0:09:50He will be blamed for everything that happens.
0:09:52 > 0:09:55And you will not. How perfect.
0:09:55 > 0:09:57But his punishment will be terrible.
0:09:57 > 0:09:59ENRAGED SNARLING
0:09:59 > 0:10:04You must put aside your feelings and do what needs to be done.
0:10:06 > 0:10:08Yes.
0:10:39 > 0:10:41Did you...go out last night?
0:10:41 > 0:10:43Yes.
0:10:44 > 0:10:47- I had to get some herbs.- Herbs?
0:10:49 > 0:10:53A...a new supplier. Just arrived.
0:10:53 > 0:10:55Right.
0:10:57 > 0:10:59Do your suppliers normally kiss you?
0:11:01 > 0:11:03You followed me!
0:11:03 > 0:11:07- How dare you?- Gaius, it was the middle of the night, I was worried.
0:11:07 > 0:11:11- I thought you might be in some sort of trouble.- There's nothing wrong.
0:11:16 > 0:11:17What's her name?
0:11:20 > 0:11:23Alice.
0:11:23 > 0:11:24She's an old friend.
0:11:24 > 0:11:29- Well, more than a friend, if truth be told.- What do you mean?
0:11:31 > 0:11:33We were once engaged to be married.
0:11:37 > 0:11:38When was this?
0:11:39 > 0:11:42More years ago than I care to remember.
0:11:46 > 0:11:49I had just been made physician to the King when I met her.
0:11:49 > 0:11:52It was like finding a kindred spirit.
0:11:52 > 0:11:54We had so much in common.
0:11:54 > 0:11:57Our love of science, of healing...
0:11:57 > 0:11:58and of magic.
0:12:00 > 0:12:01Magic?
0:12:02 > 0:12:05I was just a novice.
0:12:05 > 0:12:10But Alice's power and ability was uncanny. She had the gift.
0:12:10 > 0:12:15Soon she had mastered every aspect of sorcery, healing above all.
0:12:16 > 0:12:18It was wonderful to behold, Merlin.
0:12:18 > 0:12:21She saved a great many lives.
0:12:21 > 0:12:24- It was Alice that cured the innkeeper.- Indeed.
0:12:24 > 0:12:29There was a time when her skills were famous in Camelot.
0:12:29 > 0:12:30So what happened?
0:12:30 > 0:12:33Uther declared war on magic.
0:12:33 > 0:12:37- Overnight our world was turned upside down.- The Great Purge.
0:12:39 > 0:12:43Uther drew up a list of everyone suspected of using magic.
0:12:43 > 0:12:46One by one they were hunted down.
0:12:46 > 0:12:49As a close friend of the King, I was permitted to see this list.
0:12:50 > 0:12:53- Alice's name was on it. - What did you do?
0:12:53 > 0:12:56The only thing I could do. I struck her name off.
0:12:56 > 0:12:58- Gaius, if you'd been caught... - I know.
0:12:58 > 0:13:02But it bought her time. Just enough to get out of Camelot, to escape.
0:13:02 > 0:13:07But you...stayed behind?
0:13:12 > 0:13:17I was scared. I felt... I had no choice.
0:13:17 > 0:13:19I thought I'd never see her again.
0:13:21 > 0:13:22But now here she is.
0:13:22 > 0:13:25After all these years,
0:13:25 > 0:13:28I feel we've been given a second chance.
0:13:31 > 0:13:35You have a kind heart. You always did.
0:13:35 > 0:13:37It's the least I could do.
0:13:37 > 0:13:39Will you stay?
0:13:39 > 0:13:42- Please say you will.- You are my only appointment for this morning.
0:13:42 > 0:13:44I made sure of that.
0:13:45 > 0:13:49- You recognise them?- Of course. It is a totem of healing.
0:13:49 > 0:13:51Come, is that the best you can do?
0:13:51 > 0:13:55- Have you forgotten all that we learned together?- Let us see.
0:13:55 > 0:13:59It is a sorcerer's chime - to give it its proper name.
0:13:59 > 0:14:03Each crystal bears an elemental sign of the Old Religion.
0:14:03 > 0:14:06When enchanted, the crystals resonate,
0:14:06 > 0:14:11their music giving succour to the ailing and the sick.
0:14:12 > 0:14:13You have forgotten nothing.
0:14:16 > 0:14:17I remember everything.
0:14:17 > 0:14:20All that we saw,
0:14:20 > 0:14:24all that we did, each and every day we spent together.
0:14:25 > 0:14:27I remember the day you left.
0:14:30 > 0:14:33Let's not dwell on that. We have found each other again.
0:14:33 > 0:14:36Isn't that all that matters?
0:14:49 > 0:14:50Ah, Merlin.
0:14:50 > 0:14:55- I'd like you to meet Alice. - Merlin, it's a pleasure to meet you.
0:14:55 > 0:14:58Gaius speaks very highly of you.
0:14:58 > 0:15:03- You too.- Alice will be staying with us for a while.
0:15:03 > 0:15:05- Great. - If that's all right with you?
0:15:05 > 0:15:10- Of course. I'll make up the spare bed.- So you won't mind if she uses your room?
0:15:13 > 0:15:14Be my guest.
0:15:28 > 0:15:30GAIUS SNORES
0:15:30 > 0:15:31Ow!
0:15:35 > 0:15:36Good news, my pretty. >
0:15:36 > 0:15:40Gaius has taken us into his home. >
0:15:54 > 0:15:57- So he does not suspect?- No, no. >
0:15:57 > 0:16:01- Then you must work hard to keep it that way.- Yes. Yes.
0:16:01 > 0:16:03You're doing well.
0:16:03 > 0:16:05- SNARLING - Oh!
0:16:05 > 0:16:09Take some of my venom.
0:16:09 > 0:16:13Do not fail me. Be careful not to hurt yourself.
0:16:17 > 0:16:21That's it.
0:16:24 > 0:16:26SNARLING
0:16:35 > 0:16:39When you first knew Alice, what kinds of magic did she practise?
0:16:40 > 0:16:44All kinds. It was a time of experimentation, of learning.
0:16:44 > 0:16:46Right.
0:16:46 > 0:16:48What about dark magic?
0:16:50 > 0:16:51I dare say.
0:16:52 > 0:16:55- But those days are long gone. - What if they aren't?
0:16:57 > 0:17:01Last night, there was some kind of creature in her room.
0:17:01 > 0:17:07- A creature?- I've never seen anything like it. It had the body of a lion, and the tail of a scorpion.
0:17:07 > 0:17:09Come on, Merlin.
0:17:09 > 0:17:11- You must have been dreaming. - No, I saw it.
0:17:11 > 0:17:14With my own eyes. And I could feel its power.
0:17:14 > 0:17:17It was magic like nothing I've ever felt before.
0:17:18 > 0:17:20What utter nonsense!
0:17:20 > 0:17:25If you don't believe me, Gaius, I can prove it. Come on.
0:17:27 > 0:17:29This is it.
0:17:33 > 0:17:36Merlin, put that back. This has gone far enough.
0:17:40 > 0:17:41Oh, it's in there.
0:17:41 > 0:17:43I know it is.
0:17:43 > 0:17:45Ridiculous.
0:17:45 > 0:17:47Gaius, no!
0:17:49 > 0:17:52I hope you're satisfied, Merlin.
0:18:03 > 0:18:05Morning.
0:18:21 > 0:18:22Hemlock.
0:18:26 > 0:18:27Nightshade.
0:18:32 > 0:18:34Berg...
0:18:34 > 0:18:36ALICE CHUCKLES
0:18:36 > 0:18:38Oh, Gaius.
0:18:38 > 0:18:39it's just like old times.
0:18:39 > 0:18:42- We always made a good team, did we not?- Yes.
0:18:42 > 0:18:44I wish Merlin had your skills.
0:18:44 > 0:18:47I fear he finds the physician's craft boring.
0:18:47 > 0:18:51Well, never mind. You've got me to help you now, haven't you?
0:18:51 > 0:18:52Indeed I have.
0:18:55 > 0:18:56Now, where's the valerian?
0:18:58 > 0:19:01Valerian... For an injury, I presume?
0:19:01 > 0:19:06Perfectly correct. I prescribe it to Uther for an old battle wound.
0:19:06 > 0:19:08- He takes it daily?- Of course.
0:19:20 > 0:19:22MAN CLEARS THROAT
0:19:22 > 0:19:23Can I help you?
0:19:23 > 0:19:24No.
0:19:27 > 0:19:31Yes. I wonder, do you know anything about this creature?
0:19:31 > 0:19:35Ah, now, that is the manticore.
0:19:35 > 0:19:40- A manticore? - Nasty-looking beastie, isn't it?
0:19:40 > 0:19:46- You can say that again. - I believe it was first referred to almost a thousand years ago.
0:19:46 > 0:19:49The ancients lived in fear of it,
0:19:49 > 0:19:52- trembled at its very name. - I've never even heard of it.
0:19:52 > 0:19:56Well, I'm not surprised, because as far as I'm aware the manticore is a legend.
0:19:56 > 0:20:00- A figment of the imagination. - Are you sure?
0:20:00 > 0:20:04Oh, yes. So...
0:20:04 > 0:20:08if you were hoping to see one, I'm afraid you're going to be disappointed.
0:20:13 > 0:20:16- And now it is ready to go to the King.- Fascinating.
0:20:16 > 0:20:20Gaius, you said you had a rare form of mountain balm.
0:20:20 > 0:20:22I should like to compare it with my own, if I may?
0:20:22 > 0:20:25- Certainly.- Oh.
0:20:25 > 0:20:27Now where did I put it?
0:20:29 > 0:20:33- Perhaps with the second-order palliatives?- Of course.
0:20:45 > 0:20:47I'm so sorry, Gaius.
0:20:51 > 0:20:56Don't worry. Merlin will clear it up, won't you, Merlin?
0:20:56 > 0:20:57No, no! I can do it.

0:22:38 > 0:22:41Gaius, I need to talk to you about Alice.
0:22:41 > 0:22:42Merlin, this must stop.
0:22:42 > 0:22:45There's a reason the box was empty.
0:22:45 > 0:22:48- It's a portal, a gateway for the manticore.- This must stop now.
0:22:48 > 0:22:51Alice is up to something, and it isn't good.
0:22:51 > 0:22:56- You're wrong, Merlin. Alice is the kindest and most compassionate person I have ever known.- No!
0:22:56 > 0:22:59You're wrong. You're just blinded by your feelings for her.
0:23:00 > 0:23:02I can see perfectly well, Merlin.
0:23:02 > 0:23:05And what I can see is that you cannot bear for me to be happy.
0:23:05 > 0:23:09I cannot begin to guess why that should be.
0:23:09 > 0:23:14But it saddens me... more than I can say.
0:23:22 > 0:23:24DOOR OPENS
0:23:25 > 0:23:30Gaius, there you are, I was beginning to wonder where you'd got to.
0:23:30 > 0:23:32What's wrong?
0:23:32 > 0:23:36It's nothing. A disagreement with Merlin, that's all.
0:23:36 > 0:23:38Was it about me?
0:23:38 > 0:23:40You musn't worry.
0:23:40 > 0:23:43- He's probably a bit jealous, that's all.- Jealous?
0:23:43 > 0:23:45Well, it's only to be expected.
0:23:45 > 0:23:47The poor lad's had you all to himself.
0:23:47 > 0:23:49He's bound to be a bit hostile for a while.
0:23:49 > 0:23:51Very hostile, if truth be told.
0:23:51 > 0:23:56- He'll soon get used to having me around.- I'm sure you're right.
0:23:56 > 0:24:03Listen, why don't you sit yourself down for a while and take a break.
0:24:03 > 0:24:05I must prepare Uther's medicine.
0:24:05 > 0:24:07Well, I can take care of that.
0:24:07 > 0:24:09You showed me how, remember?
0:24:09 > 0:24:11Thank you.
0:24:24 > 0:24:28You gave me this book, do you remember?
0:24:28 > 0:24:31It was on your birthday, wasn't it?
0:24:31 > 0:24:34Or was it when I was made court physician?
0:24:34 > 0:24:39Have a look inside. I'm sure there's an inscription.
0:24:45 > 0:24:49You're quite right, of course. My 50th birthday.
0:24:56 > 0:25:00Here we are. All done.
0:25:00 > 0:25:02Wonderful, thank you.
0:25:02 > 0:25:06Hurry now. You wouldn't want to keep your King waiting.
0:25:10 > 0:25:13Really, Alice, I can't imagine how I survived without you.
0:25:21 > 0:25:25- Ah, Gaius, you have my medicine. - I do, sire.
0:25:29 > 0:25:30To my very good health.
0:25:59 > 0:26:01BELLS RINGS LOUDLY
0:26:06 > 0:26:08Father!
0:26:13 > 0:26:15I found him this way. I can't rouse him.
0:26:21 > 0:26:23The King's alive. But his pulse is weak.
0:26:23 > 0:26:26- What's wrong with him? - Please, I must examine him.
0:26:26 > 0:26:27Seal off the King's quarters!
0:26:37 > 0:26:40- What is that? - Hush, Merlin.
0:27:04 > 0:27:10- Well?- I'm afraid I cannot yet determine the cause of your father's illness.
0:27:10 > 0:27:12- He's been poisoned, hasn't he? - I cannot say at this stage.
0:27:12 > 0:27:17- Just look at him. What else could it be?- We must not jump to hasty conclusions.
0:27:17 > 0:27:19Please watch over him until I return.
0:27:25 > 0:27:29- I don't think we need more information.- Since when were you the expert?
0:27:29 > 0:27:32- You don't need to be a physician to see what's happened.- Merlin.
0:27:32 > 0:27:36He's been poisoned and I think we both know who did it.
0:27:36 > 0:27:38What exactly are you implying?
0:27:38 > 0:27:42It was Alice. She's been helping you with the potions.
0:27:42 > 0:27:44She's had every opportunity.
0:27:44 > 0:27:46You have no proof of any of this.
0:27:46 > 0:27:51- How else did he ingest the poison? There is no other explanation. - Of course there is.
0:27:51 > 0:27:54Come on, Gaius. I understand why you're protecting her
0:27:54 > 0:27:57but in your heart, you must know it's true.
0:27:57 > 0:28:01All I know is the King is gravely ill and your place is by Arthur's side.
0:28:11 > 0:28:16It doesn't make any sense, his food and wine are tasted. Each and every meal.
0:28:16 > 0:28:21It is brought here under armed guard. No-one can interfere with it in any way.
0:28:21 > 0:28:22So it can't be his food and drink.
0:28:25 > 0:28:27The only other thing he's had is...
0:28:31 > 0:28:34..Gaius's remedy.
0:28:37 > 0:28:40Arthur. I think I know what happened.
0:28:41 > 0:28:44I think...I know who did this.
0:28:44 > 0:28:47DOOR OPENS
0:28:52 > 0:28:55What's going on?
0:28:55 > 0:29:01The King has been poisoned. It appears that someone has tampered with his medicine.
0:29:01 > 0:29:03But surely you don't think it was me?
0:29:05 > 0:29:08Don't lie to me, Alice. Please.
0:29:11 > 0:29:15Gaius, I...I...
0:29:15 > 0:29:18Ugh! Ugh!
0:29:18 > 0:29:20Alice.
0:29:20 > 0:29:22DOOR OPENS
0:29:22 > 0:29:26You are under arrest for high treason. Take her away.
0:29:41 > 0:29:43I had no choice.
0:29:44 > 0:29:47It was either her or you, Gaius.
0:29:51 > 0:29:54It wasn't your choice to make.
0:30:10 > 0:30:12- Do you admit to using magic?- Yes.
0:30:12 > 0:30:14- Admit to poisoning the King? - Yes, yes.
0:30:14 > 0:30:16- But it forced me to do it. - Who forced you?
0:30:16 > 0:30:18The creature, the creature!
0:30:18 > 0:30:20You're lying! There's no creature.
0:30:20 > 0:30:23- You're just trying to save your own skin!- No, no.
0:30:26 > 0:30:31Please, my father is dying.
0:30:31 > 0:30:35If you have a single shred of goodness within you, you will tell me how to cure him.
0:30:37 > 0:30:38I don't know.
0:30:39 > 0:30:44I don't know! I'm so sorry. The manticore...
0:30:44 > 0:30:46SHE GASPS
0:31:18 > 0:31:24- How is he? - He's fading. He won't last the day.
0:31:39 > 0:31:41- Gaius... - It's all right, Merlin.
0:31:41 > 0:31:46I understand. You were only trying to save me from harm.
0:31:47 > 0:31:48Thank you.
0:31:52 > 0:31:54But I don't believe Alice wanted this.
0:31:56 > 0:31:57I know she didn't.
0:31:58 > 0:32:03The poison is from the manticore, the creature that was in Alice's room.
0:32:05 > 0:32:08We cannot counteract the manticore's venom. It is too deadly by far.
0:32:08 > 0:32:09So what can we do?
0:32:09 > 0:32:12The poison is imbued with its magic.
0:32:12 > 0:32:16With the manticore dead, it will lose its potency.
0:32:16 > 0:32:17Here!
0:32:21 > 0:32:24The manticore cannot live in this world long.
0:32:24 > 0:32:28Its life source is the ancient evil that exists in the spirit world.
0:32:28 > 0:32:29So, if we could trap it in this world...
0:32:29 > 0:32:32Exactly. If we were to summon the creature,
0:32:32 > 0:32:37and you kept it at bay long enough, perhaps I can break the box.
0:32:37 > 0:32:40- The gateway.- If the gateway is destroyed,
0:32:40 > 0:32:44then the creature's connection with its life source will be destroyed with it.
0:32:44 > 0:32:46And the manticore will die.
0:32:46 > 0:32:48I believe so.
0:32:48 > 0:32:51Gaius, the box is enchanted. It would need magic to destroy it.
0:32:51 > 0:32:53I am aware of that.
0:32:53 > 0:32:56Do you think you can... command such magic?
0:32:58 > 0:33:00There was a time when I could.
0:33:03 > 0:33:05I just hope I haven't forgotten.
0:33:16 > 0:33:17Are you ready?
0:33:19 > 0:33:20What if this doesn't work?
0:33:23 > 0:33:26Then we're going to have a very angry manticore on our hands.
0:33:39 > 0:33:41Cum her, ping scinnlce.
0:33:51 > 0:33:54GROWLING
0:34:04 > 0:34:06Gaius!
0:34:06 > 0:34:10Ado pas sawolduru.
0:34:12 > 0:34:16Ado pas sawolduru!
0:34:16 > 0:34:19Gaius!
0:34:20 > 0:34:23Gaius, It's now or never!
0:34:23 > 0:34:27Ado pas sawolduru!
0:34:34 > 0:34:35Gaius!
0:34:48 > 0:34:50Not too bad for a has-been.
0:34:50 > 0:34:52Not too bad yourself.
0:35:02 > 0:35:06I am fortunate indeed that you found an antidote, Gaius.
0:35:06 > 0:35:09It will take time, my lord, but you will make a full recovery.
0:35:09 > 0:35:11What of the woman?
0:35:11 > 0:35:14We have her in the cells, sire. She awaits your judgment.
0:35:17 > 0:35:19- Sire, if I may?- Yes, Gaius?
0:35:19 > 0:35:23It seems this woman was in the thrall of some kind of creature.
0:35:23 > 0:35:27Perhaps, in the light of that, her sentence might be...
0:35:27 > 0:35:29She practised magic, Gaius.
0:35:29 > 0:35:31There are no circumstances under which that is acceptable.
0:35:49 > 0:35:52I'm sorry, Alice, there was nothing I could do.
0:35:52 > 0:35:56Don't. I knew what my sentence would be.
0:35:56 > 0:35:58Uther will never change.
0:35:58 > 0:36:00No.
0:36:00 > 0:36:05I hoped that I could learn from it. That I could harness its magic
0:36:05 > 0:36:09for the good, for healing. But it was too strong for me.
0:36:09 > 0:36:12At least you are rid of it now.
0:36:13 > 0:36:16Yes.
0:36:16 > 0:36:19It is far better to die free than to live as a slave.
0:36:19 > 0:36:23I can only hope that's true.
0:36:23 > 0:36:30Gaius...before I go I want you to know something.
0:36:30 > 0:36:32I never forgot you.
0:36:32 > 0:36:35Since we parted all those years ago,
0:36:35 > 0:36:38not a day has gone by when I have not thought of you.
0:36:42 > 0:36:45I fear I abandoned you, Alice.
0:36:48 > 0:36:49I left you all alone.
0:36:49 > 0:36:54You stayed behind to protect me, I know that.
0:36:54 > 0:37:00You saved my life, And there is no greater gift that I could have hoped for.
0:37:00 > 0:37:05And you have achieved great things here in Camelot whereas I...
0:37:05 > 0:37:09- Alice.- I have disgraced myself.
0:37:09 > 0:37:13After everything I've done you would have every right to hate me.
0:37:13 > 0:37:16Hate you? I could never hate you.
0:37:16 > 0:37:20I have treasured these past days.
0:37:22 > 0:37:27I love you, Alice. I love you. And I always will.
0:37:30 > 0:37:32As I will you, Gaius.
0:37:37 > 0:37:40I don't want to leave you.
0:37:49 > 0:37:53Do not be afraid. Please.
0:38:06 > 0:38:08BELLS RING LOUDLY
0:38:12 > 0:38:14Something's happened.
0:38:14 > 0:38:17Perhaps one of the prisoners has escaped.
0:38:20 > 0:38:24How is that possible, I wonder?
0:38:24 > 0:38:26The dungeons are so secure.
0:38:27 > 0:38:30I really couldn't say.
0:38:34 > 0:38:36You could have gone with her.
0:38:38 > 0:38:40I could have done.
0:38:44 > 0:38:47But then who would look after you?
0:38:47 > 0:38:52Me? I don't need looking after. I can fend for myself.
0:38:52 > 0:38:56Ah, well in that case, you won't be wanting any of this then.
0:38:56 > 0:38:59Well, maybe just a slice.
