0:00:04 > 0:00:08'the destiny of a great kingdom rests on the shoulders of a young man.
0:00:08 > 0:00:11'His name - Merlin.'
0:00:23 > 0:00:25Even after all these years, I still miss him.
0:00:27 > 0:00:29He was a good father.
0:00:32 > 0:00:34I'm glad we came.
0:00:34 > 0:00:35So am I.
0:00:46 > 0:00:49I think he'd be proud.
0:00:49 > 0:00:52- Particularly of Elyan.- Me? - Not just because you're a knight,
0:00:52 > 0:00:56- but because of the man you've become.- I don't think so. - She's right.
0:00:56 > 0:01:00Absolutely. You're outstanding, especially when it comes to trying to sweet-talk the ladies,
0:01:00 > 0:01:02- if nothing else. - Don't listen to him.
0:01:02 > 0:01:04No. Elyan loves only one woman.
0:01:04 > 0:01:08- Who?- You. - Tell me, I'm your sister.
0:01:08 > 0:01:11- Did Arthur not say? - Arthur never tells me anything.
0:01:11 > 0:01:14- But he told you who Gwaine's in love with?- Himself?
0:01:14 > 0:01:15THEY LAUGH

0:02:54 > 0:02:59Sleep, my lady...for it could be some time before you do so again.
0:03:43 > 0:03:45Merlin, hollyhock.
0:03:45 > 0:03:48- One dram? - And dianthus, two drams.
0:03:48 > 0:03:51- Lungwort?- Three grains. - What happened?
0:03:51 > 0:03:54We were riding, we came upon a nest of snakes.
0:03:56 > 0:03:57Where's Guinevere?
0:04:02 > 0:04:06- Where is she? - I told her to get away. She fled.
0:04:13 > 0:04:16- Arthur?- We ride at dawn.
0:04:25 > 0:04:28- This is no accident.- Sorcery?
0:04:28 > 0:04:31There is dark magic coursing through their veins.
0:04:31 > 0:04:33By any right, they should be dead.
0:04:35 > 0:04:36Then they were lucky.
0:04:38 > 0:04:40I fear there's more to it than luck.
0:04:50 > 0:04:52Learn to knock, will you?
0:04:52 > 0:04:53I'm sorry, sire.
0:04:56 > 0:04:59I wanted you to know that Leon and Percival are safe.
0:05:00 > 0:05:03They are well on the road to recovery.
0:05:03 > 0:05:04That's good news.
0:05:04 > 0:05:06Arthur...
0:05:07 > 0:05:09..there is evidence of sorcery.
0:05:11 > 0:05:13Gaius suspects Morgana is involved.
0:05:16 > 0:05:18You can go, Merlin.
0:05:22 > 0:05:24I lost Guinevere once before.
0:05:24 > 0:05:26You're not going to lose her.
0:05:29 > 0:05:32You're not. We will find her.
0:05:32 > 0:05:33I swear.
0:05:39 > 0:05:42We'll bring her home.
0:05:58 > 0:05:59Good morning, my lady.
0:06:01 > 0:06:05- What do you want with me?- I thought we could play a little game.
0:06:05 > 0:06:06A game?
0:06:06 > 0:06:08To find out just how much Arthur loves you.
0:06:09 > 0:06:12- It won't work. - You underestimate his feelings.
0:06:12 > 0:06:15- He's not stupid.- We'll see.
0:06:15 > 0:06:20- He'll know you've taken me, he'll know it's a trap. - He will - but he'll still come.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44She must've been knocked from her mount by some force.
0:06:44 > 0:06:46Here. Tracks.
0:06:48 > 0:06:50They were heading east.
0:06:52 > 0:06:53Let's go.
0:07:04 > 0:07:06SHE GASPS WITH EXHAUSTION
0:07:16 > 0:07:17Here.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23Is it too good for you now that you're queen?
0:07:23 > 0:07:26I don't want anything from you.
0:07:26 > 0:07:27Just my crown.
0:07:28 > 0:07:31Drink it, you may need it.
0:07:31 > 0:07:33Why?
0:07:33 > 0:07:35I wouldn't be in such a hurry to know.
0:08:32 > 0:08:34It's getting too dark.
0:08:34 > 0:08:36We'll keep heading east.
0:08:36 > 0:08:38We've lost the trail.
0:08:38 > 0:08:40Then we'll retrace the tracks.
0:08:42 > 0:08:44Arthur.
0:08:47 > 0:08:48I'll talk to him.
0:08:57 > 0:08:59- Sire?- She can't be far.
0:09:01 > 0:09:05I know. But we have to work together.
0:09:10 > 0:09:13We'll make camp, I'll get a fire going.
0:09:13 > 0:09:15In the morning we'll pick up her trail again. Come on.
0:09:34 > 0:09:36- Keep moving. - Where are you taking me?
0:09:36 > 0:09:38You'll find out.
0:09:48 > 0:09:50What is this place?
0:09:50 > 0:09:51Sleep well.
0:09:51 > 0:09:52Morgana!
0:09:52 > 0:09:53DOOR SLAMS
0:09:53 > 0:09:55KEY TURNS IN DOOR
0:10:06 > 0:10:09ANGUISHED SCREAMING
0:10:35 > 0:10:36Elyan.
0:10:39 > 0:10:40If I'd stayed with her...
0:10:41 > 0:10:44You saved Percival, you saved Leon.
0:10:44 > 0:10:45But not my own sister.
0:10:48 > 0:10:50- We can all blame ourselves. - She raised me.
0:10:53 > 0:10:54You wouldn't understand.
0:10:55 > 0:10:57I do.
0:10:58 > 0:11:03I don't know...what I'd be if it wasn't for her.
0:11:05 > 0:11:06I can't explain.
0:11:08 > 0:11:09You don't have to.
0:11:24 > 0:11:26HE SCREAMS ABRUPTLY
0:11:26 > 0:11:28It's all right.
0:11:28 > 0:11:29The tower...
0:11:29 > 0:11:30It's a dream.
0:11:30 > 0:11:33Everything in its shadow was dead.
0:11:33 > 0:11:36And the sound, it was like children screaming.
0:11:36 > 0:11:37And the rain that fell was like blood.
0:11:37 > 0:11:40I had the same dream.
0:11:42 > 0:11:46I was lost in a forest and the trees had claws
0:11:46 > 0:11:48and when I finally escaped there was a plain.
0:11:49 > 0:11:53Empty as far as the eye could see, except...
0:11:53 > 0:11:56Rising into the sky was a black pillar of stone.
0:11:58 > 0:12:01A tower so dark, it could swallow the sun.
0:12:01 > 0:12:02The Dark Tower.
0:12:05 > 0:12:09It's a place where every young knight is taught to dread, and rightly so.
0:12:09 > 0:12:13- It's where many have met their end. - I've never heard of it.
0:12:13 > 0:12:17With good reason. It's said that the mere mention of it
0:12:17 > 0:12:19can bring doom to any of those who hear it.
0:12:22 > 0:12:25Well, let's not mention it again.
0:12:25 > 0:12:29I was having a dream about eating a cheese that tasted of apple pie.
0:12:29 > 0:12:31Anyone else have that dream?
0:12:31 > 0:12:35- HE LAUGHS TO HIMSELF - You're all missing out.
0:12:43 > 0:12:46Why would they both have that dream?
0:12:46 > 0:12:49The poison. It must still be coursing through their veins.
0:12:49 > 0:12:50But the same dream?
0:12:50 > 0:12:53Arthur, Morgana conjured those snakes. Leon and Percival
0:12:53 > 0:12:56- would be dead if that was what she wanted.- So what are you saying?
0:12:56 > 0:13:00She planted those visions in their minds. It's a trap.
0:13:00 > 0:13:03She's luring you to your doom.
0:13:04 > 0:13:05The Tower.
0:13:07 > 0:13:10That's where she's taken Guinevere.
0:13:10 > 0:13:12DRIPPING
0:13:37 > 0:13:40VARIOUS SCREAMS ECHO AROUND HER
0:13:50 > 0:13:51SOLITARY SCREAM
0:13:51 > 0:13:53SHE COWERS
0:14:00 > 0:14:02I've decided to journey to the Dark Tower.
0:14:02 > 0:14:06It's my belief that Guinevere has been imprisoned there.
0:14:06 > 0:14:10- I don't know what horrors will be waiting, so I'll travel alone.- No.
0:14:12 > 0:14:15I'm sorry, I've made my decision.
0:14:15 > 0:14:18You can't stop me, Arthur. She's my sister.
0:14:22 > 0:14:27- Nor me, Arthur, she's our queen. - And our friend.
0:14:28 > 0:14:31She's a maiden in a tower. A damsel in distress.
0:14:31 > 0:14:34I was born for this moment.
0:14:38 > 0:14:40You can turn back, Merlin.
0:14:41 > 0:14:43I made you a promise, remember.
0:15:11 > 0:15:12The Dark Tower.
0:15:14 > 0:15:17- How do we get to it? - Through the Impenetrable Forest.
0:15:18 > 0:15:22- But it's...impenetrable. - Exactly. We can't possibly get through that.
0:15:22 > 0:15:25We must.
0:15:47 > 0:15:49HE TUGS AND STRUGGLES
0:15:55 > 0:15:56Keep going.
0:16:08 > 0:16:10DISTANT FOOTSTEPS
0:16:14 > 0:16:16SHE GASPS
0:16:38 > 0:16:40SHE GASPS
0:16:42 > 0:16:44HE BEGINS TO LAUGH
0:16:44 > 0:16:48HE LAUGHS LOUDLY
0:16:48 > 0:16:50LAUGHTER FROM BEHIND HER
0:16:50 > 0:16:52LAUGHTER SURROUNDS HER
0:16:52 > 0:16:54Elyan?
0:17:07 > 0:17:09It was blunt anyway.
0:17:10 > 0:17:12Don't stop!
0:17:12 > 0:17:13We've lost the path.
0:17:13 > 0:17:17- Then we'll keep heading north. - How do we know which way is north?
0:17:17 > 0:17:19The ivy.
0:17:19 > 0:17:20The pale leaves face south,
0:17:20 > 0:17:22dark leaves face north.
0:17:44 > 0:17:47- We're on the right course.- We should reach the tower by sundown.
0:17:47 > 0:17:49We need to pick up the pace!
0:17:53 > 0:17:54Gwen.
0:17:56 > 0:17:57Merlin?
0:18:04 > 0:18:05Raaargh!
0:18:11 > 0:18:14DOOR CREAKS OPEN
0:18:14 > 0:18:16Come, let us have something to eat.
0:18:28 > 0:18:32We should've made it out of the forest by now.
0:18:32 > 0:18:33Look!
0:18:34 > 0:18:36What is it?
0:18:45 > 0:18:46How can that be?
0:18:46 > 0:18:49We have gone round in a circle.
0:18:49 > 0:18:52We have wasted an ENTIRE DAY!
0:18:55 > 0:18:57Let's make camp for the night.
0:18:57 > 0:19:00Get some rest and think afresh in the morning.
0:19:09 > 0:19:11I made you a promise.
0:19:12 > 0:19:13Remember?
0:19:16 > 0:19:18We will bring her home.
0:19:27 > 0:19:29Eat. Here...
0:19:29 > 0:19:31Food always makes me feel better.
0:19:33 > 0:19:34Would you prefer some chicken?
0:19:36 > 0:19:38You must eat.
0:19:38 > 0:19:40You're fading away.
0:19:40 > 0:19:43I don't know what cruel trick you're playing
0:19:43 > 0:19:45but I will not be broken by you.
0:19:46 > 0:19:48I thought this would be nice.
0:19:48 > 0:19:50I know how lonely you must be,
0:19:50 > 0:19:53all by yourself in that room.
0:19:55 > 0:19:58At least you're not shackled...
0:19:58 > 0:19:59and there's daylight.
0:20:01 > 0:20:02You can move, you can see...
0:20:02 > 0:20:04You expect me to be grateful?
0:20:06 > 0:20:08I too have suffered, Gwen.
0:20:09 > 0:20:12I spent two years living in darkness.
0:20:12 > 0:20:15Spent two years chained to a wall at the bottom of a pit.
0:20:20 > 0:20:22You did not know.
0:20:28 > 0:20:29I would have sold my soul
0:20:29 > 0:20:32for someone to show me kindness such as this.
0:20:34 > 0:20:37But if you want me to take you back up there...
0:20:53 > 0:20:55LEAVES RUSTLE
0:21:36 > 0:21:38Welcome to my realm, Emrys.
0:21:41 > 0:21:42Who are you?
0:21:42 > 0:21:45Why, I am Queen Mab.
0:21:45 > 0:21:47I am the spirit of this place
0:21:47 > 0:21:50and all the places that bring despair to men's hearts.
0:21:52 > 0:21:57Few have ever seen me, Emrys. You should count yourself fortunate.
0:21:57 > 0:22:01You...everything in this forest... it's bewildering.
0:22:01 > 0:22:03The forest is but one step on the journey.
0:22:05 > 0:22:07How do we find a way out?
0:22:07 > 0:22:10Oh, little one, you should not have to ask.
0:22:10 > 0:22:13Left is right and right is left.
0:22:13 > 0:22:17And the way behind is the way ahead. It is simple.
0:22:17 > 0:22:18Simple(!)
0:22:18 > 0:22:22You have a mind's eye, Emrys, you must learn to trust in it.
0:22:24 > 0:22:27For far greater challenges lie ahead.
0:22:29 > 0:22:30When we reach the Dark Tower?
0:22:30 > 0:22:32If.
0:22:34 > 0:22:35What do you mean?
0:22:35 > 0:22:38You must beware, Emrys.
0:22:38 > 0:22:41The Tower is not a real place.
0:22:41 > 0:22:43It is the heart's rest,
0:22:43 > 0:22:45the mind's deepest fear,
0:22:45 > 0:22:47the stillness in the hummingbird's eye.
0:22:47 > 0:22:49Stop talking in riddles.
0:22:49 > 0:22:51Then I shall talk in rhyme.
0:22:51 > 0:22:54Heed my words with due concern,
0:22:54 > 0:22:56for one of you will not return.
0:22:57 > 0:22:59What do you mean?
0:22:59 > 0:23:01QUEEN MAB CHUCKLES
0:23:06 > 0:23:07Which one?
0:23:41 > 0:23:45We need to find the clearing where we saw the Dolorous Plains.
0:23:45 > 0:23:47- But which way is that?- North.
0:23:48 > 0:23:50Please. I know I can get us there.
0:23:50 > 0:23:52I wouldn't do anything to risk Gwen's life.
0:23:52 > 0:23:55I can get us to the Dark Tower. I am certain.
0:23:57 > 0:23:59I know what Gwen means to you.
0:23:59 > 0:24:01To all of us.
0:24:06 > 0:24:07We need to head North.
0:24:07 > 0:24:10- And which way is that, Merlin? - That way.
0:24:10 > 0:24:12No, it's...
0:24:17 > 0:24:19..over there. How on earth would you know that?!
0:24:19 > 0:24:21Sense of smell.
0:24:21 > 0:24:24When the wind is from the North, you can smell the sea.
0:24:24 > 0:24:27- That's ridiculous. - Trust me. Just this once.
0:24:28 > 0:24:31Arthur...
0:24:31 > 0:24:34- give him a chance. - What choice do we have?
0:24:47 > 0:24:50Are you sure this is the right way, Merlin?
0:25:17 > 0:25:19Merlin, you're a genius!
0:25:28 > 0:25:29Which way now?
0:26:13 > 0:26:15How far do you think it is?
0:26:15 > 0:26:17At least we can see where we're going.
0:26:17 > 0:26:19Let's not just stand here looking at it.

0:27:12 > 0:27:15Come, you must eat or you'll fade away.
0:27:31 > 0:27:33Your hands are cold.
0:27:33 > 0:27:35I've got a warm fire going for you.
0:27:36 > 0:27:38Anything you want, you can have.
0:27:38 > 0:27:40I'll give it to you.
0:27:40 > 0:27:42Why are you doing this?
0:27:42 > 0:27:45Because we're friends, we always were.
0:27:45 > 0:27:48- Leave me alone.- Gwen?
0:27:54 > 0:27:56What are you trying to do to me?
0:27:56 > 0:27:57I'm helping you.
0:27:57 > 0:28:01- I'm looking after you. - I want nothing from you.
0:28:05 > 0:28:08Well, if you change your mind, let me know.

0:28:46 > 0:28:48We can't afford to rest.

0:30:11 > 0:30:13Oh! Arthur!
0:30:20 > 0:30:24No. I know it's not you.

0:30:28 > 0:30:29I know it's not you.
0:30:31 > 0:30:33I know it's not you.

0:32:03 > 0:32:04I'm here.
0:32:04 > 0:32:06I'm here.
0:32:11 > 0:32:14My darling, I was wrong to make you suffer.
0:32:14 > 0:32:16The mandrake root is cruel.
0:32:16 > 0:32:19It pierces the depths of your soul,
0:32:19 > 0:32:23twisting your unconscious into the very image of fear and dread.
0:32:23 > 0:32:27Gwen, you've been so courageous, but it was necessary.
0:32:29 > 0:32:30Gwen, you're not alone now.
0:32:31 > 0:32:33You need never be alone again.
0:32:35 > 0:32:37I am the only one you can trust.
0:32:37 > 0:32:39I am all you have left in the world.
0:32:42 > 0:32:44The others taunt you, hate you.
0:32:46 > 0:32:47Come...
0:32:49 > 0:32:54You need some rest, some proper rest.
0:33:00 > 0:33:02No!
0:33:06 > 0:33:08Whatever twisted game you're playing,
0:33:08 > 0:33:12I want no part in it. I would rather stay here and die.
0:34:27 > 0:34:28Something's wrong.
0:34:30 > 0:34:32It's too easy.
0:34:34 > 0:34:35Are you ever happy?

0:35:06 > 0:35:08Aargh!
0:35:13 > 0:35:14No-one move!
0:35:16 > 0:35:18Stay exactly where you are.
0:35:19 > 0:35:20What triggered it?
0:35:22 > 0:35:25The flagstones. They must react to pressure.
0:35:25 > 0:35:27Here.
0:35:27 > 0:35:30I'll use this.
0:35:42 > 0:35:43I'll go first.
0:35:51 > 0:35:52I'll push on.
0:35:52 > 0:35:54No, Elyan!
0:35:57 > 0:36:00None of us would even be here if it wasn't for me.
0:36:00 > 0:36:02I have to do this.
0:36:02 > 0:36:04Elyan!
0:36:13 > 0:36:16- Gwen.- Elyan...
0:36:16 > 0:36:18What has she done to you?
0:36:18 > 0:36:19No. Don't!
0:36:19 > 0:36:21It will not let you pass.
0:36:21 > 0:36:24Morgana has enchanted it to protect me.
0:36:24 > 0:36:28- You can't free me, Elyan. Leave me here. Please.- No!
0:36:28 > 0:36:31- You cannot overcome it. It will fight to the death!- Argh!
0:36:53 > 0:36:55Elyan! Go! Save yourself!
0:37:17 > 0:37:18- Gwen.- Elyan...
0:37:24 > 0:37:26I'm here. I'm here.
0:37:26 > 0:37:28I'm here.
0:37:30 > 0:37:31For a moment...
0:37:34 > 0:37:36..I didn't think I was going to win.

0:37:46 > 0:37:47And of you.
0:37:50 > 0:37:51So proud.

0:39:32 > 0:39:35'I was warned one of us would not return.'
0:39:38 > 0:39:39It's not your fault, Merlin.
0:39:39 > 0:39:42Elyan is dead.
0:39:42 > 0:39:46The sword that Elyan fell prey to was surely intended for Arthur.
0:39:49 > 0:39:51Now he's safe
0:39:51 > 0:39:52and so is Gwen.
0:41:11 > 0:41:12How is it?
0:41:14 > 0:41:16Arthur thinks he's won.
0:41:16 > 0:41:18He has no idea.
0:41:19 > 0:41:21Do you understand now who you can trust?
0:41:21 > 0:41:23It is you, Morgana.
0:41:23 > 0:41:25It has only ever been you.
0:41:25 > 0:41:27You're not one of them
0:41:27 > 0:41:29and you never will be.
0:41:29 > 0:41:31You don't know how much I hate them.
0:41:31 > 0:41:34All of them.
0:41:34 > 0:41:36You've done well to see past the lies to the real truth.
0:41:36 > 0:41:39You've an important part to play in the future.
0:41:39 > 0:41:42Together we will ensure the destruction
0:41:42 > 0:41:44of everything Arthur holds dear.
0:41:56 > 0:41:58'Have you noticed anything abut Gwen of late?'
