0:00:02 > 0:00:04In a land of myth and a time of magic,
0:00:04 > 0:00:09the destiny of a great kingdom rests on the shoulders of a young boy.
0:00:09 > 0:00:10His name...
0:00:10 > 0:00:12Merlin.
0:00:16 > 0:00:20- Morgana.- You don't know how much I regret everything that I've done.
0:00:20 > 0:00:24The mandrake pierces the very recesses of the soul,
0:00:24 > 0:00:29twisting the unconscious into the very image of fear and dread.
0:00:32 > 0:00:35Camelot is weaker than it's been for years.
0:00:35 > 0:00:37Assault on Camelot cannot be undertaken lightly.
0:00:37 > 0:00:40You forget, we have an ally in the court.
0:00:43 > 0:00:46- So you believe we have a traitor in Camelot?- Merlin suspects me.
0:00:46 > 0:00:48Well, then we must stop him.
0:00:50 > 0:00:51When Cenred marches on Camelot,
0:00:51 > 0:00:54he will find a kingdom without a leader.
0:00:55 > 0:00:56NO!
0:02:01 > 0:02:04- I didn't think you'd answer my call. - Merlin,
0:02:04 > 0:02:08I could not resist a Dragonlord,
0:02:08 > 0:02:10even if I wanted to.
0:02:10 > 0:02:12I'm grateful. Thank you.
0:02:15 > 0:02:17Lie still.
0:02:17 > 0:02:20Ow.
0:02:20 > 0:02:24- My head. - The Serket's poison is powerful.
0:02:24 > 0:02:28I have given you an enchantment that will help you heal.
0:02:28 > 0:02:30But it will take time.
0:02:33 > 0:02:36- Where is that half-wit?- Merlin?
0:02:36 > 0:02:40I've got no socks, no breeches and an archery session to go to. Merlin!
0:02:40 > 0:02:42I thought he was with you, sire.
0:02:42 > 0:02:44Don't try to cover for him!
0:02:44 > 0:02:46He didn't come home last night, I can't find him.
0:02:46 > 0:02:49Well, when you do, you can tell him he's the target.
0:04:09 > 0:04:12PIERCING SCREAM
0:04:20 > 0:04:22You shouldn't have let me sleep.
0:04:22 > 0:04:25I had no choice, young warlock.
0:04:25 > 0:04:30The venom was too strong, even for your great powers.
0:04:30 > 0:04:34I don't have time, I need to get back to Camelot.
0:04:34 > 0:04:37The Kingdom is in danger and...
0:04:39 > 0:04:41it's my fault.
0:04:41 > 0:04:44I should have listened to you.
0:04:44 > 0:04:45I should never have trusted Morgana.
0:04:45 > 0:04:47You did what you felt was right.
0:04:47 > 0:04:50And that shows great courage.
0:04:50 > 0:04:55But trust is a double-edged sword.
0:04:56 > 0:05:00I thought, because she has magic, I thought...
0:05:00 > 0:05:01we were the same.
0:05:01 > 0:05:03In some ways, you are.
0:05:03 > 0:05:05No.
0:05:06 > 0:05:08I will never be like her.
0:05:08 > 0:05:12You have learnt an important lesson, Merlin.
0:05:12 > 0:05:18Your determination to see goodness in people will be your undoing.
0:05:19 > 0:05:26But I fear that your futures are now joined forever.
0:05:26 > 0:05:32She is the darkness to your light, the hatred to your love.
0:05:33 > 0:05:36I need to get back to Camelot.
0:05:36 > 0:05:38You're not yet fully recovered, Merlin,
0:05:38 > 0:05:40and it's more than three days' walk.
0:05:44 > 0:05:46I've no intention of walking.
0:05:49 > 0:05:50MERLIN LAUGHS
0:05:50 > 0:05:54WOOOOO!
0:06:00 > 0:06:01WOOOOO!
0:06:09 > 0:06:12This is as far as I go.
0:06:12 > 0:06:13Thank you.
0:06:13 > 0:06:16I won't forget this.
0:06:16 > 0:06:18Be careful, young warlock.
0:06:18 > 0:06:20The great battle for Camelot has begun.
0:06:20 > 0:06:22You must be strong,
0:06:22 > 0:06:25for Arthur's destiny and the future of Albion
0:06:25 > 0:06:28lie in your hands.
0:06:45 > 0:06:47- You need to wake up.- Merlin?
0:06:47 > 0:06:50- Where've you been? - I don't have time to explain.
0:06:50 > 0:06:53Are you all right?
0:06:56 > 0:06:59Morgana is in league with Morgause, she's plotting against Uther.
0:06:59 > 0:07:03- What?- She's responsible for his visions. Come on, hurry up.
0:07:03 > 0:07:05There's something I need to show you.
0:07:33 > 0:07:36Uther.
0:07:36 > 0:07:38Uther.
0:07:53 > 0:07:56PIERCING SCREAM
0:07:59 > 0:08:02It was an enchantment, sire.
0:08:02 > 0:08:05You need to rest.
0:08:17 > 0:08:19Please drink this, sire.
0:08:21 > 0:08:24It will help you to sleep.
0:08:38 > 0:08:41We must tell Uther what Morgana has done.
0:08:41 > 0:08:42Are you mad?
0:08:42 > 0:08:44He'd have both our heads if we made such accusations,
0:08:44 > 0:08:48- he'd look on it as treason.- We can't just let her get away with it.
0:08:48 > 0:08:51He dotes on her every word, Merlin.
0:08:51 > 0:08:55- But, if he knew...- You've seen how blind he is to her faults.
0:08:57 > 0:09:00Besides, the root is gone now.
0:09:00 > 0:09:01It can do no more harm.
0:09:01 > 0:09:03No, you don't understand.
0:09:03 > 0:09:05I heard Morgana and Morgause.
0:09:05 > 0:09:08There's more to their plan, I'm sure of it.
0:09:37 > 0:09:39- What happened?!- What happened?
0:09:39 > 0:09:42I've had to make do without a servant, that's what happened!
0:09:42 > 0:09:45- I wasn't gone for that long! - Without my permission.
0:09:45 > 0:09:48- What if I was dying? - I wouldn't be complaining.
0:09:48 > 0:09:51But you're not. So where've you been?
0:09:51 > 0:09:55- I was dying. - I don't have time for this!
0:09:55 > 0:09:58The future of the kingdom rests upon my shoulders.
0:09:58 > 0:10:01- Do you have any idea what that feels like?- Well...
0:10:01 > 0:10:03Merlin! I should have you thrown in the dungeons,
0:10:03 > 0:10:05so what have you got to say for yourself?
0:10:05 > 0:10:08You've not had your breakfast this morning, have you?
0:10:08 > 0:10:11I'll have YOU for breakfast!
0:10:13 > 0:10:16It's no wonder this place is such a mess.
0:10:16 > 0:10:20Oh, yes, I can see you've got all the makings of a great king(!)
0:10:24 > 0:10:26May I clear away the dishes, my lady?
0:10:31 > 0:10:33Morgana?
0:10:34 > 0:10:36I was thinking about what to wear.
0:10:42 > 0:10:44I must dress.
0:10:55 > 0:10:58Have you lost something, my lady?
0:10:58 > 0:10:59My earring.
0:10:59 > 0:11:03I thought I might have dropped it while I was in here yesterday.
0:11:05 > 0:11:08- How is he?- Much better.
0:11:08 > 0:11:14- We found the source of his sickness. He was being enchanted.- Enchanted?
0:11:16 > 0:11:18You need not worry, my lady.
0:11:18 > 0:11:20He'll make a full recovery.
0:11:23 > 0:11:27- That is a relief.- Indeed, my lady.
0:11:39 > 0:11:41I don't know how you managed to escape
0:11:43 > 0:11:46Just think how Uther would react
0:11:46 > 0:11:50if he learnt that a serving boy had tried to poison his beloved ward.
0:12:10 > 0:12:12I estimate they will reach the city within two days.
0:12:12 > 0:12:15- Under whose banner do they march? - Cenred's, sire.
0:12:15 > 0:12:18- We knew he was amassing an army... - How many men?
0:12:18 > 0:12:2020,000, maybe more.
0:12:20 > 0:12:22I fear that news of the King's illness
0:12:22 > 0:12:24has spread beyond our borders.
0:12:24 > 0:12:27- Cenred sees an opportunity. - We must find a way to appease him.
0:12:27 > 0:12:29My father wouldn't bow to our enemies.
0:12:29 > 0:12:31Forgive me, sire.
0:12:31 > 0:12:33We are outnumbered two to one.
0:12:33 > 0:12:36What concessions will Cenred insist on? What territories will he demand?
0:12:36 > 0:12:40We do not have to give him anything, but it could buy us valuable time.
0:12:40 > 0:12:43It shows weakness, Gaius.
0:12:43 > 0:12:46There is only one course of action open to us.
0:12:50 > 0:12:53We must prepare the city for siege.
0:12:53 > 0:12:55Are you sure that is wise?
0:12:55 > 0:12:57The castle's our best weapon. No army's taken Camelot.
0:12:57 > 0:12:59What about the people in the villages?
0:12:59 > 0:13:01Give them refuge within the city walls.
0:13:01 > 0:13:03And what of their houses, their livelihoods?
0:13:03 > 0:13:06Cenred will destroy everything in his path.
0:13:06 > 0:13:08But they will have their lives.
0:13:08 > 0:13:10Go.
0:13:10 > 0:13:12Ready the army.
0:13:14 > 0:13:16You did well in there. I mean it.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18I was impressed.
0:13:18 > 0:13:22We're talking siege engines, battering rams, catapults...
0:13:22 > 0:13:26You made a tough decision. You're risking...
0:13:26 > 0:13:27- Do you know what?- What?
0:13:27 > 0:13:30I'd really prefer it if you just kept quiet in these situations.
0:13:30 > 0:13:33- I am just trying to help. - Well, you're not.
0:13:33 > 0:13:36I know you don't mean that, you're just worried.
0:13:36 > 0:13:38But you don't need to be.
0:13:38 > 0:13:39Look at what we've got.
0:13:41 > 0:13:42What?
0:13:42 > 0:13:44You and...
0:13:46 > 0:13:47..me.
0:13:47 > 0:13:51- Merlin, what exactly are- you- going to do?
0:13:51 > 0:13:55I'm going to be at your side, like I always am. Protecting you.
0:13:57 > 0:13:59God help me!
0:14:15 > 0:14:19- My dear Morgause.- Cenred.
0:14:19 > 0:14:23My army shall be here by nightfall.
0:14:23 > 0:14:25I'm glad that pleases you.
0:14:25 > 0:14:29I'll wait to see if you deliver before I say that I am pleased.
0:14:29 > 0:14:34- And when I do?- Then I will give you a feast that you will never forget.
0:14:38 > 0:14:40< KNOCK AT DOOR
0:14:45 > 0:14:47- I'm sorry, I didn't mean...- No.
0:14:47 > 0:14:49Come in. Please.
0:14:53 > 0:14:54How is your father?
0:14:56 > 0:14:59I could do with him here.
0:14:59 > 0:15:00You should have more faith in yourself.
0:15:00 > 0:15:03What are the people saying?
0:15:03 > 0:15:06They are glad that you have taken charge.
0:15:06 > 0:15:08I've committed them to a siege.
0:15:10 > 0:15:12There's going to be casualties.
0:15:13 > 0:15:15I trust you, Arthur.
0:15:16 > 0:15:18More than Uther, more than any man.
0:15:19 > 0:15:22Worry is not a wise counsel.
0:15:22 > 0:15:25Forget everything else, you have to follow what you believe is right.
0:15:44 > 0:15:47I should go, sire.
0:15:49 > 0:15:50There's no need to call me that.
0:15:52 > 0:15:54There is every need...
0:15:54 > 0:15:56sire.
0:16:30 > 0:16:31Where have you been?
0:16:32 > 0:16:34- What's wrong, sister?- It's Merlin.
0:16:34 > 0:16:36He's alive, he's back in Camelot.
0:16:36 > 0:16:39He has thwarted us.
0:16:39 > 0:16:42He destroyed the mandrake root. Your enchantment has been broken.
0:16:42 > 0:16:44Do not worry.
0:16:44 > 0:16:47The root has already done its work and Cenred's army
0:16:47 > 0:16:49are less than a day from the city.
0:16:49 > 0:16:51Then it is time.
0:16:51 > 0:16:52Are you ready?
0:16:54 > 0:16:56Morgana, Cenred's army are mighty,
0:16:56 > 0:16:59but they cannot bring down the city on their own.
0:16:59 > 0:17:01You, too, must play your part.
0:17:03 > 0:17:04Tell me what I must do.
0:17:11 > 0:17:13It was carved from the rowan tree
0:17:13 > 0:17:16that grows at the very heart of the Isle of the Blessed.
0:17:16 > 0:17:20Only the High Priestesses and their Bloodguard have ever set eyes on it.
0:17:20 > 0:17:21My magic is still weak.
0:17:21 > 0:17:24I do not have the strength to wield such an instrument.
0:17:24 > 0:17:27Do not worry. The staff will guide you. It carries its own power.
0:17:39 > 0:17:41I will not fail you.
0:17:41 > 0:17:43I know.
0:18:10 > 0:18:13Merlin, where have you been? I've been calling for you.
0:18:13 > 0:18:15Gathering provisions.
0:18:15 > 0:18:2025 salted cod, 15 dried capons and one smoked boar.
0:18:20 > 0:18:21What on earth for?
0:18:21 > 0:18:23We're preparing for a siege.
0:18:23 > 0:18:24Yes, not a banquet.
0:18:24 > 0:18:26You know what you're like
0:18:26 > 0:18:29without food. We could be trapped in here for weeks, months even.
0:18:29 > 0:18:32Look what I've got for your breakfasts. Your favourite.
0:18:33 > 0:18:35Pickled eggs.
0:19:07 > 0:19:09Has everyone from the villages been given shelter?
0:19:09 > 0:19:11As best we can, sire.
0:19:11 > 0:19:13They amount to 9,000 so far, and are still coming.
0:19:13 > 0:19:15How long will our provisions last?
0:19:15 > 0:19:17That depends on what losses we sustain.
0:19:17 > 0:19:22- And Cenred?- Our scouts report he will be upon us in a matter of hours.
0:19:36 > 0:19:38Sire.
0:19:40 > 0:19:42It's time.
0:19:58 > 0:20:00I promise I'll not let you down.
0:21:04 > 0:21:05Sorry.
0:21:07 > 0:21:10Not like you to get nervous, is it, Merlin?
0:21:10 > 0:21:12I'm not nervous.
0:21:12 > 0:21:13No?
0:21:16 > 0:21:18Because I trust in your destiny.
0:21:27 > 0:21:29It is your fate
0:21:29 > 0:21:31to be the greatest king Camelot has ever known.
0:21:33 > 0:21:36And your victory today will be remembered.
0:21:37 > 0:21:39By every age,
0:21:39 > 0:21:41until the end of time.
0:21:51 > 0:21:53Just trust in yourself.
0:22:03 > 0:22:07There are times, Merlin, when you display a sort of...
0:22:07 > 0:22:09I don't know what it is...
0:22:10 > 0:22:13I want to say...
0:22:13 > 0:22:15It's not wisdom.
0:22:22 > 0:22:24But, yes...
0:22:26 > 0:22:27That's what it is.
0:22:31 > 0:22:32Don't look so pleased.
0:22:32 > 0:22:35The rest of the time you're a complete idiot!
0:23:02 > 0:23:05- For the love of Camelot! - For the love of Camelot!
0:23:16 > 0:23:19WARRIORS CHANTING
0:23:39 > 0:23:41FIRE!
0:24:22 > 0:24:24Hold the line!
0:24:26 > 0:24:29You need to go back, sire.
0:24:36 > 0:24:40Gaius, one of us needs to keep an eye on her.
0:24:40 > 0:24:43- Don't worry, I am.- You mustn't let her out of your sight.
0:24:46 > 0:24:48I need to get back to Arthur.
0:25:38 > 0:25:40Father!
0:25:44 > 0:25:45What are you doing?
0:25:45 > 0:25:48- You're not well.- This is my kingdom! Argh!
0:25:54 > 0:25:57Pull back! Retreat!
0:26:05 > 0:26:07Forbearnan!
0:27:18 > 0:27:22- You must get back, we are losing the Lower Town.- It is already lost.
0:27:22 > 0:27:25- And the citadel? - Safe for now.- It must stay that way.
0:27:25 > 0:27:27You have to trust me, I know what I'm doing.
0:27:29 > 0:27:31You must rest. And when you are well
0:27:31 > 0:27:34you will still have a kingdom, I promise you that.
0:27:39 > 0:27:43- The Lower Town is ours!- That will hardly fill the pages of history.
0:27:43 > 0:27:45What of the citadel itself?
0:27:45 > 0:27:48Their defences are strong.
0:27:48 > 0:27:51It is time for you to deliver your side of the bargain.
0:27:51 > 0:27:52Patience, Cenred.
0:27:52 > 0:27:54You will not be disappointed.
0:28:06 > 0:28:07- Where's Gaius?- I don't know.
0:28:12 > 0:28:14Morgana's disappeared.
0:28:56 > 0:29:00Enough of your games, Morgause. What has happened to your traitor?
0:29:00 > 0:29:02For such a great king you have very little patience.
0:29:02 > 0:29:04The time for patience is over.
0:29:04 > 0:29:06You need not worry much longer.
0:29:06 > 0:29:12No army can fight on two fronts, not even the Knights of Camelot.
0:29:56 > 0:29:57Take him to hospital.
0:29:59 > 0:30:04Merlin! Where the hell have you been?
0:30:04 > 0:30:06- Nowhere.- You're starting to make
0:30:06 > 0:30:08a habit of this. What's your excuse this time?
0:30:10 > 0:30:13Come on, Merlin, you can do better than that.
0:31:27 > 0:31:31You need to warn Gaius. Tell him to seal off the hospital.
0:31:31 > 0:31:33CRUNCHING FOOTSTEPS
0:31:35 > 0:31:37Merlin, do as I say!
0:31:40 > 0:31:44- I have to get out there! - No, sire. You are still weak.
0:31:44 > 0:31:48- I told you...- I cannot watch my kingdom fall and do nothing.
0:31:48 > 0:31:49Arthur will defend it.
0:31:49 > 0:31:51Gaius?
0:31:54 > 0:31:56You need to seal off the hospital.
0:31:56 > 0:31:58The castle is under attack from within.
0:31:58 > 0:32:00- What are you talking about?- Morgana.
0:32:00 > 0:32:03She's summoned an army of the dead. They're everywhere.
0:32:03 > 0:32:06- Where are you going? - To try and stop her.
0:32:35 > 0:32:38Company!
0:32:45 > 0:32:48- We can't fight a battle on two fronts.- Keep still.
0:32:48 > 0:32:50I don't know how long
0:32:50 > 0:32:52we'll hold the citadel. We must get my father to safety.
0:32:52 > 0:32:56How? We no longer control the Lower Town. There is no escape, Arthur.
0:33:01 > 0:33:04You should leave now, while you still can.
0:33:04 > 0:33:07Morgana. Please. I beg you.
0:33:07 > 0:33:11RUMBLING AND CRASHING
0:33:13 > 0:33:16Women and children are dying. The city will fall.
0:33:16 > 0:33:19- Good.- No, you don't mean that.
0:33:19 > 0:33:22I have magic, Merlin.
0:33:23 > 0:33:25Uther hates me and everyone like me.
0:33:25 > 0:33:27Why should I feel differently about him?
0:33:27 > 0:33:29You, of all people, could change Uther's mind.
0:33:29 > 0:33:33But using magic like this, will only harden his heart.
0:33:33 > 0:33:36You don't have magic, Merlin, how could you hope to understand?
0:33:36 > 0:33:38I do understand. Believe me.
0:33:42 > 0:33:44If I had your gifts, I would harness them for good.
0:33:44 > 0:33:47That's why you were born with these powers.
0:33:47 > 0:33:50You don't know what it's like to be an outsider.
0:33:50 > 0:33:53To be ashamed of how you were born, to have to hide who you are.
0:33:55 > 0:33:58Do you think I deserve to be executed because of who I am?
0:33:59 > 0:34:02No.
0:34:03 > 0:34:05It doesn't have to be like this.
0:34:07 > 0:34:10We can find another way.
0:34:11 > 0:34:13There is no other way.
0:34:29 > 0:34:32What are you going to do...kill me?
0:35:20 > 0:35:22(Feoll bu brand.)
0:35:31 > 0:35:32Snee-des.
0:36:21 > 0:36:27YELLING AND CHEERING
0:36:31 > 0:36:33Your traitor has failed, as I knew they would.
0:36:33 > 0:36:35- I'm calling off the siege. - You can't!
0:36:35 > 0:36:39I cannot take the city unaided. That was not our bargain.
0:36:39 > 0:36:40You have failed me, Cenred.
0:36:40 > 0:36:44I would rather fail you, Morgause, than watch thousands of men die.
0:37:00 > 0:37:02- Sire.- What is it?
0:37:02 > 0:37:04I need to tell you something about Morgana.
0:37:04 > 0:37:08- It's all right, we know what happened.- You do?
0:37:10 > 0:37:15In my time, we've won many battles, but none so important as this.
0:37:15 > 0:37:21Every man, every woman and child has performed their heroic best.
0:37:21 > 0:37:24And I thank you and I salute you all.
0:37:24 > 0:37:29Even before the battle, we knew we there was a traitor in our midst.
0:37:31 > 0:37:34One who was almost the undoing of us.
0:37:34 > 0:37:40However, we have to thank the one person who outwitted them,
0:37:40 > 0:37:45and who, almost single-handedly, turned the battle.
0:37:45 > 0:37:47The Lady Morgana.
0:37:52 > 0:37:56For it was she who bravely entered the vault,
0:37:56 > 0:38:00found the magical vessel and destroyed it.
0:38:00 > 0:38:02We must be vigilant.
0:38:03 > 0:38:08We must stand firm against the dark forces of magic
0:38:08 > 0:38:14and ensure that they never penetrate our walls again.
0:38:20 > 0:38:23BELL TOLLS
0:38:28 > 0:38:31Why is Uther so blind to her true nature?
0:38:31 > 0:38:33I don't know, Merlin.
0:38:34 > 0:38:37It is a mystery.
0:38:37 > 0:38:40But Morgana will try again.
0:38:40 > 0:38:44- I'll be ready for her. - You must be careful.
0:38:45 > 0:38:49- I'm not afraid of her, Gaius. - You should be.
0:38:49 > 0:38:52All I feel for her is...
0:38:52 > 0:38:54sad.
0:38:56 > 0:39:00She's become so bitter, so full of hate.
0:39:02 > 0:39:05Don't let that happen to you, Merlin.
0:39:08 > 0:39:12- Nothing could ever make me that angry.- Merlin!
0:39:14 > 0:39:16Get your lazy backside out here.
0:39:18 > 0:39:19On second thoughts...
