In a land of myth and a time of magic, | 0:00:02 | 0:00:04 | |
the destiny of a great kingdom rests on the shoulders of a young man. | 0:00:04 | 0:00:08 | |
His name - | 0:00:08 | 0:00:10 | |
Merlin. | 0:00:10 | 0:00:11 | |
-EERIE VOICES: -Heo cwaeth. | 0:00:15 | 0:00:17 | |

Heo cwaeth. | 0:00:37 | 0:00:39 | |
Se wyrdes last bith ansiene. | 0:00:39 | 0:00:43 | |
Nu syndon his folma blodige. | 0:00:48 | 0:00:53 | |
His endetime is on ofost. | 0:00:55 | 0:00:59 | |
Osgar. | 0:01:04 | 0:01:06 | |
You know what must be done? | 0:01:09 | 0:01:12 | |
I do. | 0:01:12 | 0:01:14 | |
Stand. | 0:01:14 | 0:01:15 | |
Take it. | 0:01:20 | 0:01:21 | |
The fate of Arthur Pendragon is in your hands now. | 0:01:26 | 0:01:29 | |
See that you honour it. | 0:01:32 | 0:01:34 | |
You're getting good, Mordred, very good. | 0:02:44 | 0:02:47 | |
-My lord. -I may have to start trying soon. | 0:02:47 | 0:02:49 | |
-My lord? -HE CLAPS | 0:02:49 | 0:02:51 | |
And...always remember... | 0:02:55 | 0:02:57 | |
Mordred used a contre quarte to my high-line attack. | 0:03:03 | 0:03:06 | |
-It was skilfully done. -Really? | 0:03:06 | 0:03:07 | |
You understand what a contre quarte is? | 0:03:07 | 0:03:09 | |
At a guess, a type of parry, beginning in the quarte position, | 0:03:09 | 0:03:12 | |
ending with a twist of the wrist. | 0:03:12 | 0:03:13 | |
You HAVE been paying attention. | 0:03:13 | 0:03:15 | |
And what do you think of young Mordred? | 0:03:15 | 0:03:18 | |
He's, er, making progress. | 0:03:21 | 0:03:22 | |
He has all the makings of a fine knight, don't you think? | 0:03:22 | 0:03:25 | |
There are many fine knights in Camelot. | 0:03:25 | 0:03:28 | |
Yes, but if I'm not mistaken, he'll be one of the finest, | 0:03:28 | 0:03:32 | |
and I'm determined he'll receive nothing but encouragement from me. | 0:03:32 | 0:03:35 | |
'You think he's not ready?' | 0:03:38 | 0:03:39 | |
It's not that. He's an excellent swordsman. | 0:03:39 | 0:03:42 | |
You think he's too young? Too headstrong? | 0:03:42 | 0:03:44 | |
He's always been thoughtful and modest. | 0:03:44 | 0:03:45 | |
The boy sounds perfect, Merlin. | 0:03:45 | 0:03:48 | |
I can't ignore what I saw. | 0:03:48 | 0:03:50 | |
Gaius, Mordred is destined to play a part in Arthur's death. | 0:03:50 | 0:03:52 | |
Perhaps, perhaps not. The future has many paths. That is only one. | 0:03:52 | 0:03:56 | |
Have you ever seen him show anything but kindness towards Arthur? | 0:03:56 | 0:03:59 | |
No, but... | 0:03:59 | 0:04:01 | |
If Mordred wished Arthur ill, he has had ample opportunity to do so. | 0:04:01 | 0:04:05 | |
He's a likeable boy, Merlin. | 0:04:05 | 0:04:07 | |
I know. | 0:04:07 | 0:04:08 | |
I like him myself, but I can't ignore what I saw. | 0:04:08 | 0:04:12 | |
Seeing is not the same as knowing. | 0:04:12 | 0:04:13 | |
And we must know - for certain - before we act. | 0:04:16 | 0:04:19 | |
What news from the East, Sir Leon? | 0:04:31 | 0:04:33 | |
Serious news, I'm afraid, sire. | 0:04:35 | 0:04:37 | |
As you know, a few days ago, our garrison in the Forest of Brechfa | 0:04:39 | 0:04:43 | |
intercepted the man who goes by the name of Osgar. | 0:04:43 | 0:04:45 | |
-The sorcerer? -The same. | 0:04:45 | 0:04:48 | |
They were trying to apprehend him when he used his powers to escape. | 0:04:48 | 0:04:52 | |
I am sorry to report... Sir Ranulf was mortally wounded. | 0:04:52 | 0:04:56 | |
Sir Ranulf? | 0:04:57 | 0:04:59 | |
He was a loyal and true knight. | 0:04:59 | 0:05:01 | |
Place all the men in the eastern territories on high alert. | 0:05:02 | 0:05:06 | |
Yes, sire. | 0:05:06 | 0:05:07 | |
I personally shall lead a patrol to bring this Osgar to justice. | 0:05:09 | 0:05:13 | |
Is it necessary for you to go in person? | 0:05:20 | 0:05:22 | |
A king must lead, or what is the point of him? | 0:05:22 | 0:05:24 | |
You lead the men when you saved Mithian's father - | 0:05:24 | 0:05:27 | |
and I nearly lost you. | 0:05:27 | 0:05:28 | |
Sir Ranulf's death cannot go unpunished. | 0:05:28 | 0:05:31 | |
You have many fine men to avenge him. | 0:05:31 | 0:05:34 | |
He wasn't just a knight, Guinevere, he was a friend. | 0:05:36 | 0:05:40 | |
We knew each other as boys. | 0:05:40 | 0:05:42 | |
I must go. | 0:05:44 | 0:05:46 | |
Have no fear. I will be perfectly safe. | 0:05:48 | 0:05:50 | |
As you say, I have many fine knights. | 0:05:50 | 0:05:52 | |
KNOCK AT DOOR | 0:05:52 | 0:05:54 | |
Yes? | 0:05:54 | 0:05:55 | |
-You wished to see me, sire? -Ah, Mordred, come in, come in. | 0:05:55 | 0:05:58 | |
The time has come for you to accompany your king. | 0:06:01 | 0:06:04 | |
My lord? | 0:06:05 | 0:06:06 | |
I want you to join me on a patrol to the White Mountains. | 0:06:06 | 0:06:09 | |
Me? | 0:06:10 | 0:06:12 | |
To Brechfa? | 0:06:14 | 0:06:15 | |
Congratulations. | 0:06:15 | 0:06:17 | |
This is a great honour. I... | 0:06:17 | 0:06:19 | |
You have earned your place. | 0:06:19 | 0:06:20 | |
Be ready to ride at dawn. | 0:06:20 | 0:06:22 | |
I shall be, my lord. | 0:06:22 | 0:06:23 | |
You won't regret this. | 0:06:29 | 0:06:31 | |
I promise. | 0:06:31 | 0:06:32 | |
He has all the makings of an excellent knight. | 0:06:34 | 0:06:37 | |
I do believe you've grown fond of him. | 0:06:37 | 0:06:40 | |
One of those things I do. | 0:06:40 | 0:06:43 | |
You sure you haven't forgotten anything, Mordred? | 0:06:47 | 0:06:50 | |
-Do you think so? -Isn't he missing a dagger? | 0:06:50 | 0:06:52 | |
-I can't see a water bottle. -His boot. He's missing a boot, I think. | 0:06:53 | 0:06:57 | |
THEY LAUGH | 0:06:59 | 0:07:01 | |
Are you sure this is a good idea? | 0:07:03 | 0:07:05 | |
He's a good fighter, a brave knight. | 0:07:08 | 0:07:10 | |
He's very young. | 0:07:10 | 0:07:12 | |
Where would any of us be, Merlin, if no-one had given us a chance? | 0:07:12 | 0:07:16 | |
Gentlemen! | 0:07:21 | 0:07:22 | |
Merlin? | 0:07:25 | 0:07:26 | |
You will take care of him? | 0:07:28 | 0:07:29 | |
He doesn't always make it easy. | 0:07:31 | 0:07:32 | |
I know. | 0:07:32 | 0:07:34 | |
Merlin! | 0:07:34 | 0:07:36 | |
-It IS a tradition. -Goes back years. | 0:07:55 | 0:07:58 | |
We all had to do it on our first patrol. | 0:07:58 | 0:08:00 | |
Mordred, what on earth are you doing? | 0:08:00 | 0:08:02 | |
Melding the saddle, my lord. | 0:08:04 | 0:08:05 | |
As in the ancient tradition... of melding. | 0:08:05 | 0:08:08 | |
Of course. I trust your breeches are on inside out? | 0:08:08 | 0:08:11 | |
My lord? | 0:08:13 | 0:08:14 | |
THEY LAUGH | 0:08:14 | 0:08:15 | |
HORSE NEIGHS | 0:08:21 | 0:08:23 | |
It's Osgar. He's close. | 0:08:28 | 0:08:31 | |
He's getting careless. | 0:08:35 | 0:08:36 | |
Sire? | 0:08:39 | 0:08:41 | |
Who are you? What's your purpose? | 0:09:33 | 0:09:36 | |
I was beginning to fear you had taken the wrong path. | 0:09:36 | 0:09:40 | |
Who are you? | 0:09:40 | 0:09:42 | |
My name is Osgar. And I have an important message for your king. | 0:09:42 | 0:09:46 | |
Take me to him. | 0:09:46 | 0:09:48 | |
It'll be our pleasure. | 0:09:48 | 0:09:50 | |
Do you not know who I am? | 0:09:51 | 0:09:54 | |
You are a sorcerer, a heretic and a murderer. | 0:09:54 | 0:09:56 | |
No. | 0:09:57 | 0:09:59 | |
Just a man who values his freedom. | 0:09:59 | 0:10:01 | |
Take me to your king. | 0:10:02 | 0:10:04 | |
Would you challenge me?! | 0:10:06 | 0:10:07 | |
Forth fleoge! | 0:10:16 | 0:10:18 | |
TWIG CRACKS | 0:10:42 | 0:10:44 | |
Stop! | 0:10:44 | 0:10:45 | |
Sire... | 0:10:46 | 0:10:47 | |
My name is Osgar. | 0:10:47 | 0:10:49 | |
I know who you are. | 0:10:49 | 0:10:51 | |
I am sent from the sacred Disir | 0:10:54 | 0:10:55 | |
to pass judgement on Arthur Pendragon, the Once and Future King. | 0:10:55 | 0:10:58 | |
What right have you to pass judgement? | 0:11:00 | 0:11:02 | |
No man is above the Disir - however royal. | 0:11:02 | 0:11:04 | |
It is my duty to pass their judgement on to you, dread King. | 0:11:07 | 0:11:13 | |
My sacred duty. | 0:11:13 | 0:11:14 | |
Your hand...Arthur Pendragon. | 0:11:27 | 0:11:31 | |
It is done. | 0:11:45 | 0:11:47 | |
What is the meaning of this? | 0:11:47 | 0:11:48 | |
It is both judgement and fate. | 0:11:48 | 0:11:51 | |
You have waged war on the people of the Old Religion. | 0:11:52 | 0:11:57 | |
Now the ancient gods answer you. | 0:11:57 | 0:11:59 | |
The Disir have spoken. | 0:11:59 | 0:12:01 | |
The circle of fate begins to close. | 0:12:02 | 0:12:05 | |
For even as Camelot flowers, | 0:12:06 | 0:12:08 | |
the seeds of her destruction are being sown. | 0:12:08 | 0:12:11 | |
What nonsense is this? | 0:12:14 | 0:12:16 | |
It is not too late, Arthur. | 0:12:18 | 0:12:19 | |
Not too late to find the true path. | 0:12:21 | 0:12:23 | |
Redeem yourself. | 0:12:25 | 0:12:26 | |
No further chance shall be given. | 0:12:30 | 0:12:33 | |
TWIG CRACKS | 0:13:00 | 0:13:02 | |
What would the king say? | 0:13:02 | 0:13:04 | |
Sorcerers are not permitted marked graves. | 0:13:04 | 0:13:07 | |
It's all right, Merlin. | 0:13:11 | 0:13:12 | |
I'd have done the same. | 0:13:12 | 0:13:15 | |
He was one of us, after all. | 0:13:17 | 0:13:19 | |
It won't always be like this. | 0:13:25 | 0:13:28 | |
One day we will live in freedom again. | 0:13:28 | 0:13:31 | |
You really believe that? | 0:13:34 | 0:13:35 | |
I do. | 0:13:35 | 0:13:37 | |
Until then, | 0:13:43 | 0:13:45 | |
we go unmarked - in death as in life. | 0:13:45 | 0:13:48 | |
-The swelling should go down by the morning. -Let's hope so. | 0:13:59 | 0:14:01 | |
How is he? | 0:14:04 | 0:14:05 | |
I've applied poultices. They'll make a full recovery. | 0:14:05 | 0:14:08 | |
You are a skilled physician, Merlin. | 0:14:10 | 0:14:12 | |
I've watched Gaius, that's all. | 0:14:12 | 0:14:15 | |
He also makes a very fine breakfast, as you'll soon discover, | 0:14:15 | 0:14:18 | |
eh, Merlin? | 0:14:18 | 0:14:19 | |
Now I've offended him. | 0:14:21 | 0:14:22 | |
Come, Merlin, warm yourself, have a drink. | 0:14:23 | 0:14:26 | |
To young Mordred - and his first successful mission. | 0:14:28 | 0:14:31 | |
-It was nothing. -It was timely and vigilant. | 0:14:32 | 0:14:35 | |
Merlin! | 0:14:35 | 0:14:36 | |
Congratulations. | 0:14:36 | 0:14:37 | |
If he died and was granted eternal happiness, | 0:14:39 | 0:14:41 | |
I do believe he'd find reason to be miserable. | 0:14:41 | 0:14:44 | |
Come, Merlin, we've triumphed. | 0:14:44 | 0:14:46 | |
Osgar could have easily killed you. | 0:14:49 | 0:14:52 | |
But he didn't, did he? | 0:14:53 | 0:14:54 | |
He was a sorcerer, it was quite within his power. | 0:14:54 | 0:14:57 | |
He was deranged. | 0:14:57 | 0:14:59 | |
And the runemark? | 0:15:01 | 0:15:03 | |
A trinket - nothing more. | 0:15:04 | 0:15:06 | |
Here. | 0:15:06 | 0:15:07 | |
I'll have the jeweller mount it as a memento of our success. | 0:15:07 | 0:15:11 | |
Are you feeling all right, Merlin? | 0:15:22 | 0:15:24 | |
Quite, my lord. | 0:15:24 | 0:15:25 | |
Only, more and more I find your face resembles the back end of a cat. | 0:15:25 | 0:15:29 | |
See, you don't even laugh at my jokes any more. Seriously... | 0:15:29 | 0:15:32 | |
I haven't seen you smile these past three days. | 0:15:34 | 0:15:36 | |
I'm not sure there is a great deal to smile about. | 0:15:36 | 0:15:39 | |
HE SIGHS | 0:15:42 | 0:15:44 | |
Sire, thank you for coming. | 0:15:50 | 0:15:53 | |
Please. | 0:15:53 | 0:15:54 | |
Tell me Merlin's got you believing his nonsense too, Gaius. | 0:15:54 | 0:15:58 | |
This is a runemark, my lord. | 0:15:59 | 0:16:01 | |
So everyone keeps telling me. | 0:16:01 | 0:16:03 | |
In times past, this mark aroused great fear. | 0:16:03 | 0:16:05 | |
It was given to those found wanting by the court of the Disir. | 0:16:05 | 0:16:11 | |
-The Disir? -The highest court of the Old Religion. | 0:16:11 | 0:16:14 | |
Three women were chosen at birth to be trained as seers and soothsayers. | 0:16:14 | 0:16:20 | |
Their only task was to interpret the word of the Triple Goddess. | 0:16:20 | 0:16:23 | |
When they sat in judgement, their word was final. | 0:16:23 | 0:16:28 | |
This worn-out superstition has no relevance now. | 0:16:28 | 0:16:31 | |
I don't see how what bearing it has on me or Camelot. | 0:16:31 | 0:16:34 | |
Because, sire, | 0:16:34 | 0:16:35 | |
the Disir saw fit to give you this. | 0:16:35 | 0:16:39 | |
This is the judgement of the gods against you. | 0:16:39 | 0:16:42 | |
This is...nonsense, surely? | 0:16:47 | 0:16:50 | |
The Old Religion held that the runemark not only contained | 0:16:50 | 0:16:54 | |
a man's guilt but the path that the gods had chosen for him. | 0:16:54 | 0:16:57 | |
That is why it is both a judgement and fate. | 0:16:57 | 0:17:02 | |
I make my own path. | 0:17:02 | 0:17:04 | |
Do you? | 0:17:04 | 0:17:05 | |
It is said that only the gods can alter a man's fate... | 0:17:07 | 0:17:10 | |
And even then, only when he repents and appeases them. | 0:17:12 | 0:17:16 | |
You don't believe any of this? | 0:17:23 | 0:17:25 | |
Gaius? | 0:17:25 | 0:17:27 | |
I am an old man, sire. | 0:17:34 | 0:17:36 | |
Old enough to be wary of dismissing other people's beliefs. | 0:17:36 | 0:17:40 | |
Have I not made Camelot a fairer and more just kingdom? | 0:17:53 | 0:17:56 | |
You have, my lord. | 0:17:56 | 0:17:57 | |
Have I not rid it of the cruelties and injustices of the past? | 0:17:57 | 0:18:00 | |
You have. | 0:18:00 | 0:18:02 | |
I am not my father. | 0:18:02 | 0:18:03 | |
No. | 0:18:03 | 0:18:04 | |
Then why do they judge me so? | 0:18:04 | 0:18:06 | |
I'm not sure I'm the person to ask. | 0:18:06 | 0:18:08 | |
I am asking you...Merlin. | 0:18:08 | 0:18:11 | |
Man to man. | 0:18:13 | 0:18:15 | |
Well, perhaps they feel you are worthy enough to be judged. | 0:18:17 | 0:18:20 | |
What do you mean by that? | 0:18:20 | 0:18:23 | |
Judgement is wasted on a...man who won't listen. | 0:18:23 | 0:18:27 | |
You think I should take them seriously? | 0:18:28 | 0:18:30 | |
I think you already have. | 0:18:32 | 0:18:34 | |
If there's nothing else...? | 0:18:39 | 0:18:40 | |
No. Thank you. | 0:18:42 | 0:18:43 | |
O drakon! | 0:18:52 | 0:18:55 | |
E male so ftengometta tesd' hup' anankes! | 0:18:55 | 0:19:00 | |
You were right to summon me, Merlin. | 0:19:03 | 0:19:06 | |
The Disir are the mouthpiece of the Triple Goddess. | 0:19:08 | 0:19:11 | |
It is she who has decreed Arthur's fate. | 0:19:12 | 0:19:14 | |
What is it to be? | 0:19:14 | 0:19:17 | |
The runemark predicts Arthur's death. | 0:19:18 | 0:19:21 | |
When? | 0:19:21 | 0:19:23 | |
When will Arthur die? | 0:19:24 | 0:19:26 | |
The future is never clear, Merlin. You should know that by now. | 0:19:27 | 0:19:31 | |
There are many paths. | 0:19:31 | 0:19:33 | |
Not all lead to Camelot's ruin. | 0:19:33 | 0:19:36 | |
Do they lead to Mordred? | 0:19:36 | 0:19:38 | |
The Druid boy? | 0:19:38 | 0:19:40 | |
His fate and Arthur's are bound together like ivy round a tree. | 0:19:40 | 0:19:44 | |
I fear he is dangerous. | 0:19:44 | 0:19:48 | |
There is good cause to doubt him. | 0:19:48 | 0:19:50 | |
Is there nothing I can do? | 0:19:50 | 0:19:53 | |
Sometimes...to save the tree, | 0:19:53 | 0:19:56 | |
the ivy must be cut. | 0:19:56 | 0:19:58 | |
You had a chance to kill the Druid boy once before. | 0:20:00 | 0:20:03 | |
If you have another... | 0:20:03 | 0:20:06 | |
you MUST not fail. | 0:20:06 | 0:20:08 | |
Arthur? | 0:20:24 | 0:20:25 | |
I thought you might be hungry. You ate nothing at supper. | 0:20:27 | 0:20:30 | |
Thank you. | 0:20:30 | 0:20:31 | |
That was kind. | 0:20:31 | 0:20:34 | |
He was a deranged, desperate man. You said so yourself. | 0:20:34 | 0:20:37 | |
Merlin was right - he could have killed me | 0:20:37 | 0:20:39 | |
but instead he thought it was more important to give me this, | 0:20:39 | 0:20:43 | |
and he gave his life in doing so. | 0:20:43 | 0:20:45 | |
Who can fathom the mind of a fanatic? | 0:20:46 | 0:20:48 | |
That wasn't what was in his eyes, Guinevere. | 0:20:48 | 0:20:51 | |
There was no hatred there. | 0:20:52 | 0:20:54 | |
It was something else - pity almost. | 0:20:54 | 0:20:56 | |
Why would a sorcerer pity a king? | 0:20:56 | 0:20:59 | |
Come, eat something. | 0:21:01 | 0:21:04 | |
What if the Disir are right? What if I have transgressed in some way? | 0:21:04 | 0:21:07 | |
What if I have put Camelot in danger? | 0:21:07 | 0:21:09 | |
Arthur, you are a good and just king. | 0:21:09 | 0:21:11 | |
The Disir don't seem to think so. | 0:21:12 | 0:21:14 | |
That is because they don't know you like I do. | 0:21:14 | 0:21:17 | |
If they did, they would feel nothing but love. | 0:21:19 | 0:21:21 | |
HAMMERING AT DOOR | 0:21:28 | 0:21:29 | |
Is it late? Have I overslept? | 0:21:29 | 0:21:32 | |
It is not yet dawn. | 0:21:32 | 0:21:33 | |
HAMMERING AT DOOR | 0:21:33 | 0:21:34 | |
-My lord, I... -Where can I find the Disir? | 0:21:36 | 0:21:38 | |
-Sire, I... -Gaius, if anyone knows where to find them, it is you. | 0:21:38 | 0:21:41 | |
Until yesterday I didn't know they still existed. | 0:21:41 | 0:21:43 | |
But they do. As we know. | 0:21:43 | 0:21:45 | |
So again, where can I find them? | 0:21:45 | 0:21:48 | |
Sire, I do not think it is wise for you... | 0:21:48 | 0:21:51 | |
Gaius, do I look like a man to trifle with? | 0:21:51 | 0:21:54 | |
It is said that the Disir divines using an ancient pool. | 0:21:57 | 0:22:01 | |
In turn, the pool is fed | 0:22:01 | 0:22:04 | |
by the sacred spring at Caerlanrigh. | 0:22:04 | 0:22:06 | |
The source of the spring is a grove of yew trees in the White Mountains. | 0:22:08 | 0:22:12 | |
The Grove of Brineved. | 0:22:12 | 0:22:14 | |
Thank you. | 0:22:16 | 0:22:18 | |
We leave within the hour. | 0:22:19 | 0:22:21 | |
Be careful, Merlin. I don't know what you'll encounter | 0:22:23 | 0:22:26 | |
but the Old Ways will be at their strongest there. | 0:22:26 | 0:22:31 | |
The Caerlanrigh is the very centre of their powers. | 0:22:31 | 0:22:34 | |
My lord, you are going to the White Mountains? | 0:22:43 | 0:22:46 | |
I am. | 0:22:46 | 0:22:47 | |
Then I humbly petition to come with you. | 0:22:47 | 0:22:50 | |
It is not for novices, Mordred. | 0:22:50 | 0:22:52 | |
Did I not serve you well? | 0:22:53 | 0:22:55 | |
You did. | 0:22:55 | 0:22:56 | |
Then I will do again. | 0:22:56 | 0:22:58 | |
It is no mere sorcerer this time, Mordred. | 0:22:58 | 0:23:00 | |
Our mission is dangerous - in ways we cannot perhaps imagine. | 0:23:00 | 0:23:04 | |
Then you will need good men by your side. | 0:23:04 | 0:23:07 | |
Let me serve, let me do my duty. | 0:23:09 | 0:23:11 | |
Merlin! | 0:23:16 | 0:23:18 | |
See to it he has everything he needs. | 0:23:18 | 0:23:21 | |
Stay close. You know your positions. | 0:24:15 | 0:24:18 | |
-My lord. -What is it, Merlin? -This place is sacred. | 0:24:19 | 0:24:22 | |
It's a cave, Merlin. | 0:24:22 | 0:24:24 | |
It's more than that. | 0:24:24 | 0:24:25 | |
To me, one cave is the same as another. | 0:24:25 | 0:24:27 | |
You can't go armed into a sacred place! | 0:24:27 | 0:24:30 | |
You want us to go in there unarmed? | 0:24:32 | 0:24:35 | |
Of all the ridiculous things that you have ever said, Merlin - | 0:24:38 | 0:24:41 | |
and there's been a few - | 0:24:41 | 0:24:43 | |
that is the most ridiculous. By far. | 0:24:43 | 0:24:45 | |
I am Arthur Pendragon, | 0:25:27 | 0:25:28 | |
King of Camelot. | 0:25:28 | 0:25:30 | |
I come to know the meaning of this. | 0:25:32 | 0:25:34 | |
The Grove of Brineved is in the kingdom of Camelot, | 0:25:41 | 0:25:44 | |
subject to its laws, its decrees. | 0:25:44 | 0:25:46 | |
Every man, | 0:25:46 | 0:25:48 | |
however humble, however noble, | 0:25:48 | 0:25:51 | |
has the right to be judged only by his peers. | 0:25:51 | 0:25:53 | |
Yet YOU judge me in my absence. | 0:25:53 | 0:25:58 | |
Explain yourselves. | 0:25:58 | 0:26:00 | |
We do not judge. | 0:26:00 | 0:26:01 | |
We do not condemn. | 0:26:01 | 0:26:03 | |
We are but the internuncio of the one who presides over all. | 0:26:03 | 0:26:06 | |
Who sees all. | 0:26:06 | 0:26:08 | |
Who knows all. | 0:26:08 | 0:26:09 | |
ALL DISIR: The Triple Goddess. | 0:26:09 | 0:26:11 | |
And you, Arthur Pendragon, | 0:26:11 | 0:26:13 | |
have angered her. | 0:26:13 | 0:26:15 | |
How so? | 0:26:15 | 0:26:16 | |
Have I not been an honourable king? | 0:26:18 | 0:26:21 | |
Have I not made Camelot a fair and just kingdom? | 0:26:21 | 0:26:23 | |
So much is true. | 0:26:23 | 0:26:24 | |
But you have denied the Old Religion. | 0:26:24 | 0:26:27 | |
Dismissed its faith. | 0:26:27 | 0:26:29 | |
Persecuted its followers. | 0:26:29 | 0:26:31 | |
Even unto slaughter. | 0:26:31 | 0:26:32 | |
I fight against sorcery and superstition, that is all. | 0:26:33 | 0:26:37 | |
Embrace the ways of the Old Religion, Arthur. | 0:26:37 | 0:26:40 | |
Or risk the ire of the Goddess. | 0:26:40 | 0:26:42 | |
The destruction of everything you most value. | 0:26:42 | 0:26:46 | |
The end of your reign. | 0:26:46 | 0:26:47 | |
The fall of Camelot itself. | 0:26:47 | 0:26:49 | |
I refuse to be judged by those who do not know me. | 0:26:49 | 0:26:52 | |
You are known, Arthur. you have always been known. | 0:26:52 | 0:26:56 | |
And now you come here, to the most sacred of the sacred, | 0:26:59 | 0:27:04 | |
to the very heart of the Old Religion, | 0:27:04 | 0:27:06 | |
with weapons drawn. | 0:27:06 | 0:27:08 | |
Trampling hallowed relics. | 0:27:08 | 0:27:10 | |
Treating our sacred space like you do your kingdom - with arrogance. | 0:27:10 | 0:27:13 | |
With conceit. | 0:27:13 | 0:27:15 | |
With insolence. | 0:27:15 | 0:27:17 | |
Enough! You speak of the King! | 0:27:17 | 0:27:21 | |
On me! | 0:27:25 | 0:27:27 | |
Merlin! | 0:27:33 | 0:27:35 | |
Pull back! | 0:27:39 | 0:27:41 | |
How is he? | 0:28:03 | 0:28:04 | |
It is not a simple wound. Sorcery is involved. | 0:28:07 | 0:28:09 | |
Is there anything you can do? | 0:28:09 | 0:28:11 | |
This is beyond my skill, sire. | 0:28:17 | 0:28:19 | |
We need to get him back to Camelot. | 0:28:21 | 0:28:23 | |
That is a long and arduous journey. What if he doesn't survive it? | 0:28:23 | 0:28:25 | |
Look, I fear that Gaius is the only one who can save him. | 0:28:25 | 0:28:29 | |
Mount up. We ride for Camelot. | 0:28:32 | 0:28:35 | |
He grows worse. | 0:28:53 | 0:28:55 | |
There has been little change. | 0:28:59 | 0:29:00 | |
I should never have let him come. | 0:29:03 | 0:29:05 | |
He wanted to prove himself. | 0:29:06 | 0:29:08 | |
And he has. | 0:29:08 | 0:29:10 | |
He saved my life for the second time. | 0:29:14 | 0:29:17 | |
Merlin is right. This is no ordinary wound. | 0:29:43 | 0:29:47 | |
There is magic at play. | 0:29:47 | 0:29:48 | |
Can you save him? | 0:29:48 | 0:29:49 | |
I am but a physician - there are limits to my knowledge. | 0:29:49 | 0:29:53 | |
There must be something that can be done. | 0:29:54 | 0:29:56 | |
Perhaps. | 0:29:56 | 0:29:58 | |
I shall do everything in my power, sire. | 0:29:58 | 0:30:01 | |
Let me know the moment he improves... | 0:30:08 | 0:30:11 | |
..or... | 0:30:12 | 0:30:13 | |
I shall. | 0:30:16 | 0:30:17 | |
Only your magic can save him, Merlin. | 0:30:27 | 0:30:29 | |
I cannot save the life of a man destined to kill Arthur. | 0:30:29 | 0:30:33 | |
If Mordred is destined to take the King's life, | 0:30:36 | 0:30:39 | |
why has he just saved it? | 0:30:39 | 0:30:41 | |
I cannot ignore what the dragon said. | 0:30:42 | 0:30:45 | |
What happened to the young boy who came into my chambers | 0:30:45 | 0:30:49 | |
just a few years ago? | 0:30:49 | 0:30:51 | |
He grew up. | 0:30:54 | 0:30:55 | |
And he learned the meaning of duty. | 0:30:57 | 0:31:01 | |
It is not your fault. | 0:31:11 | 0:31:13 | |
He begged you to let him go - it was a kindness to allow him. | 0:31:14 | 0:31:18 | |
-It was foolishness. -No. | 0:31:18 | 0:31:20 | |
You told me once that Mordred had a strong sense of duty. | 0:31:20 | 0:31:23 | |
-That is true. -You also told me he was impetuous. | 0:31:23 | 0:31:25 | |
-I should have listened to you. -No, you shouldn't. | 0:31:25 | 0:31:28 | |
If Mordred hadn't gone, it could be you in Gaius's chambers. | 0:31:29 | 0:31:32 | |
Mordred did his duty so you could do yours... | 0:31:32 | 0:31:35 | |
To be king. | 0:31:37 | 0:31:38 | |
KNOCK ON DOOR | 0:31:39 | 0:31:41 | |
Yes? DOOR OPENS | 0:31:43 | 0:31:45 | |
-Sire. -Is there news? | 0:31:47 | 0:31:49 | |
I thought that once we'd got him back to Camelot and your care... | 0:31:54 | 0:31:57 | |
The staff that caused his wound was forged using powerful sorcery. | 0:31:57 | 0:32:01 | |
All the same... | 0:32:01 | 0:32:03 | |
And the poison that runs through his veins is beyond remedy. | 0:32:03 | 0:32:05 | |
There must be... | 0:32:07 | 0:32:09 | |
something you can do! | 0:32:09 | 0:32:11 | |
I'm afraid not. | 0:32:11 | 0:32:13 | |
Only the Disir themselves | 0:32:13 | 0:32:14 | |
have the power to counteract their own sorcery. | 0:32:14 | 0:32:17 | |
I'm afraid we must prepare ourselves for the worst. | 0:32:19 | 0:32:22 | |
I'll go to them. | 0:32:24 | 0:32:26 | |
Sire, I do not think that is... | 0:32:26 | 0:32:28 | |
And I beg for mercy. | 0:32:28 | 0:32:29 | |
Prepare the horses. We leave at once. | 0:32:31 | 0:32:34 | |
Why do you risk so much for one man? | 0:32:55 | 0:32:58 | |
I would do the same for any knight. | 0:32:58 | 0:33:00 | |
Though, obviously, not me. | 0:33:00 | 0:33:02 | |
Actually, I would. | 0:33:03 | 0:33:04 | |
Servants are hard to come by - even bad ones. | 0:33:05 | 0:33:08 | |
I'm touched(!) | 0:33:08 | 0:33:09 | |
Mordred saved my life. What greater debt could there be? | 0:33:10 | 0:33:14 | |
The debt to your people, | 0:33:14 | 0:33:16 | |
to your destiny. | 0:33:16 | 0:33:18 | |
You almost sound as if you care. | 0:33:18 | 0:33:20 | |
I do care. | 0:33:20 | 0:33:22 | |
About who you are, Arthur, | 0:33:22 | 0:33:24 | |
who you are destined to become. | 0:33:24 | 0:33:25 | |
If it's fated. It doesn't matter what I do, it'll still happen. | 0:33:25 | 0:33:28 | |
-There is a difference between fate and destiny. -You think too much, Merlin. | 0:33:28 | 0:33:32 | |
The situation is quite simple. A brother-in-arms saves my life. | 0:33:32 | 0:33:35 | |
When he, in turn, is threatened, it is my duty to do all I can to save him. | 0:33:35 | 0:33:39 | |
I am not totally insensitive, Merlin. | 0:34:11 | 0:34:13 | |
I can see that some people feel this is a sacred place. | 0:34:13 | 0:34:16 | |
I am even prepared to admit that you are right sometimes. | 0:34:16 | 0:34:19 | |
Obviously, I will deny I ever saying that. | 0:34:20 | 0:34:22 | |
Obviously. | 0:34:22 | 0:34:24 | |
Arthur Pendragon. | 0:34:37 | 0:34:39 | |
King of Camelot. | 0:34:39 | 0:34:40 | |
We have been expecting you. | 0:34:40 | 0:34:42 | |
My men and I behaved with arrogance and stupidity. | 0:34:50 | 0:34:52 | |
We dishonoured this place and insulted your faith. | 0:34:52 | 0:34:55 | |
I humbly beg your forgiveness. | 0:34:59 | 0:35:01 | |
One amongst us, | 0:35:02 | 0:35:05 | |
Sir Mordred... | 0:35:05 | 0:35:07 | |
may yet pay the ultimate price. | 0:35:07 | 0:35:10 | |
I have come here to petition you for his life. | 0:35:10 | 0:35:13 | |
Why should we help you? | 0:35:13 | 0:35:14 | |
I ask not for myself, | 0:35:15 | 0:35:16 | |
but for a young man whose only crime | 0:35:16 | 0:35:18 | |
was to sacrifice himself for his king. | 0:35:18 | 0:35:21 | |
The future holds much pain | 0:35:21 | 0:35:23 | |
and suffering for you, Arthur Pendragon. | 0:35:23 | 0:35:25 | |
For you and your people. | 0:35:25 | 0:35:27 | |
If you wish to save all you hold dear. | 0:35:27 | 0:35:30 | |
If you wish to save your kingdom. | 0:35:30 | 0:35:32 | |
Embrace the Old Religion. | 0:35:32 | 0:35:34 | |
Learn her ways. | 0:35:34 | 0:35:35 | |
Bow to the Goddess. | 0:35:35 | 0:35:37 | |
You know I can't do that. | 0:35:42 | 0:35:44 | |
Consider carefully. | 0:35:45 | 0:35:47 | |
You have until dawn. | 0:35:48 | 0:35:50 | |
How did you know this place was sacred? | 0:36:01 | 0:36:03 | |
That's obvious. | 0:36:05 | 0:36:07 | |
Pretend it isn't. | 0:36:07 | 0:36:08 | |
Everything here... is so full of life. | 0:36:10 | 0:36:14 | |
Every tree, | 0:36:15 | 0:36:16 | |
every leaf... | 0:36:16 | 0:36:18 | |
..every insect. | 0:36:19 | 0:36:20 | |
It's as if the world is vibrating. | 0:36:21 | 0:36:24 | |
As if everything is much more than itself. | 0:36:26 | 0:36:29 | |
You feel all that? | 0:36:31 | 0:36:32 | |
Don't you? | 0:36:32 | 0:36:34 | |
What will you do? | 0:36:51 | 0:36:52 | |
I don't know. | 0:36:56 | 0:36:57 | |
My heart says do anything I can to save Mordred. | 0:37:00 | 0:37:03 | |
But I have seen what misery unfettered sorcery brings. | 0:37:04 | 0:37:07 | |
Before my father outlawed magic, | 0:37:10 | 0:37:13 | |
Camelot was almost destroyed by sorcery. | 0:37:13 | 0:37:16 | |
In my own time, Morgana has used it for nothing but evil. | 0:37:16 | 0:37:19 | |
What would you do? | 0:37:22 | 0:37:24 | |
-In my place? -Me? | 0:37:25 | 0:37:27 | |
I'm just a lackey, a maker of beds. | 0:37:30 | 0:37:32 | |
Lackeys can be wise. | 0:37:32 | 0:37:33 | |
It is not like you to be silent. | 0:37:43 | 0:37:45 | |
A kingdom's future is at stake. | 0:37:45 | 0:37:47 | |
And a man's life. | 0:37:47 | 0:37:50 | |
You must protect Camelot. | 0:37:51 | 0:37:53 | |
You must protect the world you have spent your life building - | 0:37:53 | 0:37:55 | |
a just and fair kingdom for all. | 0:37:55 | 0:37:57 | |
You would have me sacrifice a friend? | 0:37:59 | 0:38:02 | |
I would have you become the king you are destined to be. | 0:38:06 | 0:38:08 | |
If I DO save Mordred, all my father's work will be for nothing. | 0:38:10 | 0:38:13 | |
Sorcery will reign once more in Camelot. | 0:38:13 | 0:38:16 | |
Is that what you'd want? | 0:38:16 | 0:38:17 | |
Perhaps my father was wrong, | 0:38:23 | 0:38:24 | |
perhaps the old ways aren't as evil as we thought. | 0:38:24 | 0:38:27 | |
So what should we do? | 0:38:30 | 0:38:31 | |
Accept magic? | 0:38:33 | 0:38:35 | |
Or let Mordred die? | 0:38:35 | 0:38:37 | |
There can be no place for magic in Camelot. | 0:38:56 | 0:38:59 | |
BREATHY SIGH | 0:39:21 | 0:39:23 | |
You have returned. | 0:39:29 | 0:39:31 | |
Is your decision made? | 0:39:31 | 0:39:33 | |
It is. | 0:39:34 | 0:39:35 | |
I cannot do as you ask. | 0:39:39 | 0:39:41 | |
Consider carefully, Arthur Pendragon. | 0:39:43 | 0:39:45 | |
This is your last chance to save all that is dear to you. | 0:39:45 | 0:39:50 | |
It will not come again. | 0:39:50 | 0:39:52 | |
I have seen too much... | 0:39:55 | 0:39:57 | |
to allow sorcery again within Camelot. | 0:39:57 | 0:40:00 | |
-You have made your decision. -Sealed your fate. | 0:40:00 | 0:40:03 | |
And that of your kingdom. | 0:40:03 | 0:40:04 | |
ALL DISIR: Farewell... | 0:40:05 | 0:40:07 | |
Arthur Pendragon. | 0:40:07 | 0:40:09 | |
You did the right thing. | 0:40:27 | 0:40:28 | |
I condemned a man to death. | 0:40:28 | 0:40:31 | |
For the sake of Camelot. | 0:40:31 | 0:40:34 | |
ARTHUR SIGHS | 0:40:34 | 0:40:35 | |
He saved my life, Merlin. | 0:40:35 | 0:40:39 | |
More than once. | 0:40:39 | 0:40:40 | |
I know. | 0:40:41 | 0:40:42 | |
'How could I have been so stupid!?' | 0:41:31 | 0:41:32 | |
You did what you thought best. | 0:41:35 | 0:41:36 | |
I assumed the best way to protect Arthur was to kill Mordred. | 0:41:36 | 0:41:39 | |
A perfectly natural assumption. | 0:41:39 | 0:41:42 | |
But all I did was make sure he lived. | 0:41:42 | 0:41:44 | |
That WAS the Disir's judgement. | 0:41:44 | 0:41:46 | |
Mordred's life is Arthur's punishment for rejecting magic. | 0:41:46 | 0:41:50 | |
You mustn't blame yourself. | 0:41:51 | 0:41:53 | |
But it is my fault. | 0:41:53 | 0:41:55 | |
Mordred is alive and well. | 0:41:58 | 0:42:00 | |
He's free to play his part in Arthur's death | 0:42:00 | 0:42:02 | |
and there is nothing I can do to prevent it. | 0:42:02 | 0:42:05 | |
CHEERING OUTSIDE | 0:42:05 | 0:42:06 | |
Nothing. | 0:42:08 | 0:42:09 | |
Where is she? | 0:42:22 | 0:42:24 | |
I thought we could play a little game. | 0:42:24 | 0:42:26 | |
SHE LAUGHS | 0:42:30 | 0:42:31 | |
YELLING | 0:42:31 | 0:42:33 | |
SCREAMS | 0:42:34 | 0:42:37 | |
Whatever twisted game you're playing, | 0:42:37 | 0:42:40 | |
I want no part in it. | 0:42:40 | 0:42:41 | |
