'In a land of myth and a time of magic,

0:00:020:00:03

'the destiny of a great kingdom

0:00:030:00:06

'rests on the shoulders of a young man.

0:00:060:00:08

'His name...Merlin.'

0:00:080:00:11

All right...

0:00:140:00:16

Who drank all my water?

0:00:160:00:18

-GWAINE BURPS

-I believe you have your answer.

0:00:180:00:21

You said I could have some. I said you could have "some".

0:00:210:00:23

I didn't say you could drink every last drop! I was thirsty.

0:00:230:00:26

Here. Have some of mine.

0:00:260:00:28

THEY ALL CHUCKLE That's very funny.

0:00:300:00:33

Here. Unlike these ignorant fools, I share with my friends...

0:00:330:00:37

THEY ALL LAUGH

0:00:380:00:41

Ssh.

0:00:450:00:47

-ALL QUIET DOWN

-What is it?

0:00:470:00:49

I saw something in the trees. There.

0:00:510:00:53

What is this place?

0:01:110:01:12

WIND BLOWS, FLAG FLUTTERS

0:01:140:01:17

This is a shrine.

0:01:190:01:21

In the time of the old religion, they built shrines like this

0:01:210:01:24

to appease restless spirits. We shouldn't be here.

0:01:240:01:26

EERIE WIND BLOWS

0:01:290:01:31

Boo!

0:01:350:01:37

It isn't funny.

0:01:380:01:39

Gaius told me about places like this. They're cursed.

0:01:570:01:59

There's nothing here for us. Move out.

WIND WHISTLES

0:03:020:03:06

-Are you all right?

-What do you mean?

0:03:450:03:48

You're very quiet. You didn't say a word on the way home.

0:03:480:03:51

It's called thinking, Merlin. You should try it some time.

0:03:510:03:54

< Merlin.

0:03:540:03:55

What's that?

0:03:570:03:58

Salt. Pour it in a circle at the foot of your bed.

0:03:580:04:02

-Helps to protect you from evil spirits.

-Really? Does that work?

0:04:020:04:06

Absolutely, and if it doesn't,

0:04:060:04:08

Gaius can always put it on his supper.

0:04:080:04:10

Very funny.

0:04:100:04:11

I'm surprised that such a shrine exists so close to Camelot.

0:04:140:04:19

And it was cursed.

0:04:190:04:21

I could feel it.

0:04:210:04:24

You were right to be wary.

0:04:240:04:26

The druids built shrines to bring rest to tormented souls.

0:04:260:04:30

Souls that were so badly wronged,

0:04:300:04:32

they could find no peace in the Other World.

0:04:320:04:35

Why do they hang all the ribbons and flags?

0:04:350:04:37

The ancient rituals heal the ground,

0:04:390:04:42

so that the souls of the victims can find rest.

0:04:420:04:45

But the magic that binds the earth is delicate, and is easily undone,

0:04:450:04:51

so the ribbons and flags act as a warning.

0:04:510:04:55

I wish I'd known that earlier.

0:04:560:04:58

Did anyone touch anything?

0:04:590:05:01

No. I don't think so.

0:05:010:05:04

-Why? What is it?

-Anyone who disturbs the resting place

0:05:040:05:08

risks releasing the spirit.

0:05:080:05:11

You must promise me you will never return to that place.

0:05:120:05:15

Don't worry. I have no intention of going back there.

0:05:150:05:18

And for once, I'm not lying to you.

0:05:200:05:22

-FAINT TRICKLING WATER

-Hello?

0:05:500:05:52

WATER DRIPS

0:05:520:05:56

Who's there?

DRIPPING WATER

0:06:050:06:08

No! No! >

0:06:310:06:34

What are you doing?

0:06:420:06:44

I... I was getting a drink of water

0:06:500:06:53

-and tripped over the table.

-Uh-huh.

0:06:530:06:57

We missed you at the tavern earlier.

0:07:000:07:02

-Percival broke Sir Brennis' wrist in an arm wrestle.

-Sounds like fun.

0:07:020:07:06

Not for Sir Brennis. Get some rest.

0:07:060:07:08

Arthur's planned a training session in the morning.

0:07:080:07:11

You know how the King likes his training. Good night.

0:07:110:07:14

CLATTERING METAL

0:07:240:07:26

CRASH!

0:07:490:07:51

Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to scare you.

0:07:510:07:52

You didn't scare me. I was asleep.

0:07:520:07:55

Why have you got that stupid smile on your face?

0:07:570:07:59

It's nothing. Why were you sleeping with your head on the table?

0:07:590:08:02

-I fell asleep while I was reading.

-What were you reading?

0:08:020:08:06

I am the King of Camelot. I do not have to answer to the likes of you.

0:08:100:08:14

You're in a good mood(!)

0:08:140:08:15

You obviously got out of the wrong side of the table...

0:08:150:08:18

MERLIN LAUGHS

0:08:180:08:20

The wrong side of the bed, but you slept on the table, so...

0:08:200:08:24

Extremely clever and funny, Merlin. There are no limits to your wit(!)

0:08:240:08:28

-Now, please get me some breakfast.

-Right.

0:08:280:08:30

Merlin!

0:08:430:08:44

Pair off.

0:08:500:08:52

Concentrate on counter-cutting. Gwaine, you're with me.

0:08:520:08:55

What's that in your hair?

0:08:550:08:57

It's stew.

0:08:570:08:59

-Why have you got stew in your hair?

-Because he was reading.

0:08:590:09:02

Change of plan. I think we'll try something different.

0:09:040:09:08

Well, Merlin will feel that in his arms tomorrow.

0:09:130:09:16

All this training. When are we going to see some real action?

0:09:160:09:19

DRIPPING WATER

0:09:250:09:27

INAUDIBLE CONVERSATION

0:09:270:09:30

Leave me alone!

0:09:320:09:35

Watch yourself...

0:09:350:09:37

Elyan!

0:09:440:09:45

Elyan? Elyan?

0:09:470:09:49

-Why doesn't he speak?

-I don't know. It's strange.

0:09:530:09:57

It's like he's lost his mind.

0:09:570:09:59

When I want your medical opinion, Gwaine, I'll ask for it.

0:09:590:10:02

Perhaps you would leave me alone to treat my patient.

0:10:020:10:05

It would be better if Arthur didn't know of this.

0:10:070:10:10

Why do you want to keep it from Arthur?

0:10:100:10:13

Elyan hasn't been himself recently.

0:10:130:10:16

He hasn't said anything,

0:10:160:10:17

but he's clearly upset about his sister's banishment.

0:10:170:10:20

It must have been hard to see that happen to Gwen.

0:10:200:10:24

We wouldn't want Arthur to think Elyan's loyalties are divided.

0:10:240:10:27

The King doesn't have to know about every accident

0:10:270:10:30

that happens in Camelot.

0:10:300:10:32

-Thank you, Gaius.

-Thank you.

0:10:320:10:34

Elyan, can you hear me?

0:10:390:10:41

Blink if you can hear me.

0:10:450:10:47

Would you like me to make up the bed, sire,

0:11:320:11:34

or will you be sleeping on the table again?

0:11:340:11:36

Is this about Gwen?

0:11:450:11:47

We all miss her.

0:11:500:11:51

-You, more than anyone...

-You can go now.

0:11:530:11:55

-Arthur...

-Get out!

0:11:550:11:59

I'm done... trying to be nice to Arthur.

0:12:090:12:12

I cook, I clean, I'm always there for him,

0:12:120:12:15

not to mention saving his life more times than I care to remember.

0:12:150:12:18

Do I get any thanks? No. All he ever does is shout at me.

0:12:180:12:23

Now you're ignoring me. Great. I might as well not even exist.

0:12:240:12:28

"My name's Merlin. Don't worry, I'm not even here."

0:12:280:12:31

I fear we have more important things to worry about

0:12:310:12:34

-than Arthur shouting at you.

-What is it?

0:12:340:12:37

Did Elyan disturb anything yesterday at the shrine?

0:12:370:12:41

-I'm not sure.

-I need you to be sure, Merlin.

-He may have done.

0:12:430:12:47

I warned them. You know they don't listen.

0:12:470:12:49

I'm sorry, Merlin. It's just that I am deeply concerned for Elyan.

0:12:490:12:53

He hasn't spoken a word since he regained consciousness

0:12:530:12:55

and I can find no physical symptoms to explain it.

0:12:550:12:58

The only thing I could find was a pile of salt at the foot of his bed.

0:12:580:13:02

Oh, no.

0:13:040:13:06

What is it, Merlin?

0:13:060:13:08

He's trying to ward off an evil spirit.

0:13:080:13:10

With a pile of salt, that's utter nonsense!

0:13:100:13:14

Elyan believes it to be true.

0:13:140:13:15

Then I fear that Elyan may have disturbed the spirit at the shrine.

0:13:180:13:22

What? What will that do to him?

0:13:240:13:28

I dread to think what horror it might unleash.

0:13:280:13:31

You must tell Arthur what happened at the shrine.

0:13:310:13:33

I'm not sure he'll believe me. Not in his mood.

0:13:330:13:35

You must make him believe you.

0:13:350:13:37

DRIPPING WATER

0:13:460:13:49

Please don't be angry with me.

0:13:540:13:56

I'm sorry.

0:14:030:14:05

It's all right. Don't be scared.

0:14:230:14:26

You're so cold.

0:14:340:14:36

It's all right.

0:14:420:14:44

What do you want from me?

0:14:530:14:55

I want you to bring me peace.

0:14:550:14:57

You must right the wrong that was done to me.

0:14:570:15:01

How? What should I do?

0:15:020:15:05

It's easy.

0:15:050:15:07

Elyan, you startled me. Is everything all right?

0:15:360:15:39

Guards!

0:15:440:15:46

Elyan is a friend to some of you,

0:15:540:15:55

but that friendship ended when he tried to kill the King.

0:15:550:15:58

Do not let him escape. Go find him!

0:15:580:16:01

-What happened?

-Elyan, he attacked me.

0:16:050:16:08

I think he may have disturbed a spirit at the shrine.

0:16:080:16:12

I think that spirit is possessing him.

0:16:120:16:15

Why else would he attack you?

0:16:160:16:18

When we catch him, I intend to ask him that very question.

0:16:180:16:21

I never thought we would hunt one of our own.

0:16:230:16:26

-Why would he would attack Arthur?

-What would you do if your sister

0:16:260:16:29

-had been banished from Camelot?

-My sister's an evil old toad,

0:16:290:16:31

-so I'd be eternally grateful.

-There he is!

0:16:310:16:35

Elyan must be tried and punished,

0:17:060:17:08

-in accordance with our laws.

-You mean put him to death.

0:17:080:17:11

Well, so be it. You can't afford to show favouritism.

0:17:110:17:13

What if Elyan wasn't acting of his own volition?

0:17:130:17:15

His motive is obvious. He seeks revenge.

0:17:150:17:19

You banished his sister from Camelot.

0:17:190:17:20

I know Elyan, and no matter what he feels about his sister,

0:17:200:17:24

-he would never attack Arthur.

-You cannot allow someone

0:17:240:17:27

to try and kill you and then escape punishment.

0:17:270:17:29

You will appear weak! That puts the whole of Camelot in peril.

0:17:290:17:34

-Arthur...

-Leave me...

0:17:350:17:38

..both of you.

0:17:410:17:42

Agravaine is pushing for Elyan's execution.

0:17:510:17:53

Arthur may have no choice but to sentence Elyan to death.

0:17:530:17:56

-We can't allow that to happen.

-What do you propose we do, Merlin?

0:17:560:18:00

There must be a way of ridding Elyan of the spirit.

0:18:000:18:02

It would require very powerful magic.

0:18:020:18:04

Then I must master it, if I'm to save Elyan's life.

0:18:040:18:07

And you intend to expel the spirit in the cells,

0:18:070:18:09

-under the noses of the guards?!

-Of course not.

0:18:090:18:12

First, we need to break Elyan out of the cells.

0:18:120:18:14

-Did I miss out that part?

-Ah, ha-ha-ha(!)

0:18:140:18:17

Elyan will have to be unconscious when you expel the spirit.

0:18:250:18:28

I put a powerful sedative in this water. And, Merlin,

0:18:280:18:32

-remember, Elyan is not himself. You cannot trust him.

-I know.

0:18:320:18:37

Strangath bydenfaetu.

0:18:540:18:56

Wyrth gatu faest!

0:19:130:19:14

-Merlin?

-I don't have time to explain. You have to trust me.

0:19:240:19:27

BELLS RING

0:19:400:19:43

We need to make it to the cover of the woods.

0:19:520:19:55

You know, Merlin, you're much braver than you look.

0:20:080:20:11

-Are you calling me a coward?

-Ha-ha-ha!

0:20:130:20:15

I'm saying there's not many people with the courage

0:20:160:20:19

-to break someone out of the cells.

-I had to do it.

0:20:190:20:21

They were going to execute you. I know that

0:20:210:20:24

you would never hurt Arthur. Not of your own volition.

0:20:240:20:27

After all that running, you must be thirsty.

0:20:320:20:34

-Where are my manners? You must be thirsty too.

-After you.

0:20:360:20:40

No, no. After you...

0:20:400:20:42

-I insist.

-I had some earlier. If I have too much,

0:20:420:20:47

I have to pee all the time. Ask Arthur. I'm always peeing...

0:20:470:20:49

What are you looking at?

0:20:510:20:52

I'm sorry, Merlin.

0:20:580:20:59

For what?

0:21:010:21:02

Just before he jumped me, there was a presence there. I could sense it.

0:21:100:21:15

It was Elyan who was supposed to be knocked out. Not you, Merlin.

0:21:150:21:19

I must find Arthur. Elyan could make

0:21:190:21:21

-another attempt on his life.

-After Elyan's escape, Arthur was put

0:21:210:21:24

under heavy guard. There is little more you can do to protect him.

0:21:240:21:28

This shrine, do you think you could find it again?

0:21:290:21:33

I'm not sure I want to. You said I was never to go there again.

0:21:340:21:37

We have to find out all we can about this spirit.

0:21:390:21:41

Unless we know what we're dealing with,

0:21:410:21:43

we won't be able to help Elyan, or Arthur.

0:21:430:21:46

Merlin?

0:22:010:22:03

It's just through these trees.

0:22:050:22:07

What are we looking for?

0:22:200:22:22

I'm not entirely sure.

0:22:230:22:25

But remember, don't disturb anything.

0:22:250:22:30

Trust me, I won't.

0:23:210:23:23

Something terrible happened here.

0:23:280:23:30

These runes are in the Druid tongue.

0:23:340:23:38

I also found this. There are crossbow bolts scattered all around.

0:23:380:23:41

This was Uther's doing, wasn't it?

0:23:440:23:47

It is revenge for Uther's crime that the spirit seeks.

0:23:590:24:02

Merlin! Good of you to join me(!)

0:24:020:24:05

Perhaps I should fill you in on all that's been happening

0:24:050:24:08

-while you've been...

-I was searching in the woods

0:24:080:24:11

for some herbs for Gaius, very rare herbs,

0:24:110:24:13

-hard to find, actually, and I got lost.

-You mean to tell me

0:24:130:24:17

-that you've been wandering around in the woods all night?

-Yes.

0:24:170:24:21

What happened to your head?

0:24:210:24:23

I... I tripped over a root.

0:24:250:24:27

and I hit my head on a tree and knocked myself out.

0:24:270:24:29

Hmm. Well, after wandering around in the woods all night,

0:24:310:24:34

knocking yourself out, you must be hungry?

0:24:340:24:37

I'm starving.

0:24:370:24:39

Pull up a chair. Tuck in.

0:24:390:24:41

Oh, thanks very much, I am actually... You're joking!

0:24:410:24:45

Oh, no...

0:25:230:25:24

0:25:240:25:28

We're searching the Lower Town, even as I speak.

0:25:280:25:30

Fear not, my lord.

0:25:300:25:32

Thank you, Uncle.

0:25:320:25:33

What do you know about this shrine, Gaius?

0:25:400:25:42

I believe the site was once a Druid camp.

0:25:420:25:45

There is evidence that the camp was attacked.

0:25:450:25:48

Your father was relentless in his persecution of the Druids.

0:25:480:25:52

Many died.

0:25:520:25:55

-And that's why he seeks his revenge.

-The spirit craves peace.

0:25:590:26:04

He wishes to find his proper place in the Other World,

0:26:040:26:08

but the unjust nature of his death has denied him that.

0:26:080:26:12

Is there anything that can be done to change this?

0:26:120:26:16

In Druid lore, only the atonement of the perpetrator

0:26:160:26:20

can bring the spirit peace.

0:26:200:26:22

Uther's dead.

0:26:230:26:24

He can't atone for what he did.

0:26:260:26:27

-Indeed.

-What about Elyan?

-Elyan is no longer the man you knew.

0:26:270:26:32

The spirit has a hold of him

0:26:320:26:34

that may be too powerful to break. All we can hope

0:26:340:26:36

is that he is found before he has a chance to enact his revenge.

0:26:360:26:41

It's not your fault. You can't be held responsible

0:26:590:27:02

for everything your father did.

0:27:020:27:04

That will be all Merlin, thank you.

0:27:060:27:08

Are you sure you don't want me to stay?

0:27:080:27:11

I think I'm going to get an early night.

0:27:120:27:14

I'm pretty tired too, what, with having spent the night in the woods.

0:27:150:27:19

No-one said anything about you getting an early night.

0:27:190:27:22

In fact, you can make up for your little escapade

0:27:220:27:25

by polishing my armour.

0:27:250:27:27

-Merlin?

-What are you doing creeping around in the woods?

0:28:340:28:38

Something I should have done a long time ago.

0:28:380:28:40

Elyan could be out here. Do you know how dangerous that is?

0:28:400:28:43

I have to face him. Feel free to go back to Camelot any time you like.

0:28:430:28:48

-You're not going back, then?

-I thought I might tag along.

0:28:540:28:58

Don't want you getting lost and scared.

0:28:580:29:01

Are you sure you want to do this?

0:29:120:29:14

Maybe we should wait until it's light...

0:29:160:29:18

Or we could do it now, whatever it is that we're doing,

0:29:210:29:23

in the dark, when it's incredibly scary and dangerous...

0:29:230:29:26

Is that a good idea? We might be needing it...

0:29:460:29:48

I'm not sure a sword will be much use against a spirit.

0:29:500:29:53

What about against Elyan?

0:29:530:29:55

I'm here!

0:29:570:29:59

-That's what you want, isn't it?

-What are you doing?

0:30:010:30:03

Everything Gaius said about this place is right, except one thing.

0:30:080:30:12

It wasn't my father that led the raid on the Druid camp.

0:30:120:30:16

I did.

0:30:170:30:19

I am responsible for what happened to you,

0:30:350:30:39

and for all the violence that happened here.

0:30:390:30:41

When I led the attack on your camp, I was young and inexperienced.

0:30:430:30:49

I was desperate to prove myself to my men, to my...father.

0:30:490:30:53

I told the men to spare the women and children,

0:30:580:31:01

but I know that some of them ignored the order.

0:31:010:31:04

There was so much happening. I wanted to stop it.

0:31:040:31:07

I froze.

0:31:090:31:12

I didn't know what to do.

0:31:120:31:14

I can still hear the screams...

0:31:220:31:23

I cannot right this wrong.

0:31:290:31:31

Nothing I can do will ever change the horrors that happened that day.

0:31:310:31:34

But I can promise that now that I am King,

0:31:390:31:42

I will do everything that I can

0:31:420:31:45

to prevent anything like this ever happening again.

0:31:450:31:48

From this day forth, the Druid people

0:31:510:31:54

will be treated with the respect they deserve. I give you my word.

0:31:540:31:58

I am truly sorry for what happened to you.

0:32:070:32:11

SOFT SIGHING

0:32:580:33:01

Arthur?

0:33:170:33:18

How's Elyan? Is he going to be all right?

0:33:430:33:45

Gaius says he's going to make a full recovery.

0:33:450:33:47

You know, that was incredibly moving, what you said at the shrine.

0:33:510:33:55

As long as Elyan's going to be all right, it served its purpose.

0:33:550:33:59

It wasn't just about Elyan, was it? You meant it. I know you did.

0:33:590:34:03

Does this have a point, Merlin?

0:34:030:34:05

I don't think I've ever seen you cry before, not like that.

0:34:050:34:09

You had tears running down your cheeks. It's nice to see this new,

0:34:090:34:13

sensitive, emotional side to you. It suits you.

0:34:130:34:15

-Shut up, Merlin.

-Oh! I really thought you'd changed.

0:34:150:34:19

Then you're as stupid as you are ugly.

0:34:210:34:23

So there's no chance that we could have a hug?

0:34:280:34:31

Argh! >
