1 00:00:02,236 --> 00:00:05,357 In a land of myth and a time of magic, 2 00:00:05,357 --> 00:00:10,157 the destiny of a great kingdom rests on the shoulders of a young boy. 3 00:00:10,157 --> 00:00:13,078 His name...Merlin. 4 00:00:20,279 --> 00:00:23,880 Father, we're not going into battle. You don't have to look so sombre. 5 00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:28,121 Never before have the rulers of the five kingdoms come together in this way. 6 00:00:28,121 --> 00:00:33,162 Never before have we all worked towards the same aim, towards peace. 7 00:00:33,162 --> 00:00:38,283 If these talks are successful, Camelot will enter a new era of prosperity. 8 00:00:38,283 --> 00:00:42,003 If they fail, it will almost certainly mean war. 9 00:00:49,485 --> 00:00:55,286 Boy! Is it too much to ask that you might anticipate my needs? 10 00:00:55,286 --> 00:00:56,726 Sorry, master. I was... 11 00:00:56,726 --> 00:00:59,087 Stop whinging.

Let us hope so. 14 00:01:13,969 --> 00:01:19,931 Uther may think that we are gathered here for peace, but that is far from MY mind. 15 00:01:19,931 --> 00:01:24,651 Am I to take it that Lady Vivian is part of our plan? 16 00:01:24,651 --> 00:01:26,612 She is very lovely. 17 00:01:26,612 --> 00:01:30,613 Don't let her father hear you say that. Not if you value your head. 18 00:01:30,613 --> 00:01:34,133 Indeed I do! It is my prettiest feature. 19 00:01:36,174 --> 00:01:40,414 Olaf is the most over-protective buffoon I've ever met. 20 00:01:40,414 --> 00:01:44,255 It would surely end the peace talks if anyone were to lay a finger on her. 21 00:01:44,255 --> 00:01:48,496 But nobody in their right mind would do that. 22 00:01:48,496 --> 00:01:55,097 But Arthur won't be in his right mind...will he? 23 00:02:32,784 --> 00:02:36,025 What kind of welcome is this? You have us hanging around 24 00:02:36,025 --> 00:02:38,025 like the last swallows of summer. 25 00:02:38,025 --> 00:02:39,866 You are welcome indeed, Olaf. 26 00:02:43,506 --> 00:02:46,667 May I present my daughter, the Lady Vivian. 27 00:02:46,667 --> 00:02:48,547 Lady Vivian. 28 00:02:48,547 --> 00:02:50,748 How like your mother you are. 29 00:02:50,748 --> 00:02:53,508 I hope everything is to your satisfaction? 30 00:02:53,508 --> 00:02:55,268 It is...adequate. 31 00:02:57,069 --> 00:03:00,789 Most of our guests are extremely happy here. I am sure you will be too. 32 00:03:00,789 --> 00:03:03,430 I am not most of your guests. 33 00:03:03,430 --> 00:03:04,950 In...deed. 34 00:03:08,191 --> 00:03:13,192 Well, may I present Guinevere? She'll be looking after you for the duration of your stay. 35 00:03:13,192 --> 00:03:16,712 You will want for nothing. She is truly one of Camelot's finest. 36 00:03:18,273 --> 00:03:21,353 Then I fear for Camelot. 37 00:03:28,755 --> 00:03:30,635 Good luck with that one. Mmm. 38 00:03:35,316 --> 00:03:37,516 I need to prepare for the feast. 39 00:03:43,157 --> 00:03:44,798 < Merlin? 40 00:03:47,318 --> 00:03:52,159 What kind of impression do you think this gives?

What?! 53 00:04:28,646 --> 00:04:32,607 Nothing. I just know how you feel about her, that's all. 54 00:04:32,607 --> 00:04:37,568 That is, if your feelings haven't changed. Which I presume they haven't. 55 00:04:37,568 --> 00:04:40,008 I do have my own vat of hot oil, you know. 56 00:04:40,008 --> 00:04:41,768 You're blushing. 57 00:04:41,768 --> 00:04:43,609 No, I'm not. 58 00:04:43,609 --> 00:04:47,730 What's wrong with Gwen?

Left them in her room. I thought that better than a public display. You sure she got them? 112 00:09:34,943 --> 00:09:37,624 I'm sure she WILL get them. Good! 113 00:09:37,624 --> 00:09:39,864 Well, all we can do now is wait... 114 00:09:41,545 --> 00:09:47,146 Oh, but heaven has blessed me. She's even more beautiful than before. Don't you agree? Yeah. 115 00:09:47,146 --> 00:09:51,106 I'm surprised to hear you talk so openly. Nonsense. 116 00:09:51,106 --> 00:09:56,747 I want to tell the world. I want to shout it across the kingdom. 117 00:09:59,508 --> 00:10:01,508 Are you sure that's a good idea? 118 00:10:01,508 --> 00:10:05,949 I understand your feelings but other people may object. Object? 119 00:10:05,949 --> 00:10:12,310 To what? Well, you're the future King of Camelot and she is serving girl, albeit a very nice serving girl. 120 00:10:12,310 --> 00:10:13,471 Agh! 121 00:10:13,471 --> 00:10:16,191 Lady Vivian is of royal blood, a future queen. 122 00:10:16,191 --> 00:10:20,792 I will have your head if I hear such insolence again. 123 00:10:21,992 --> 00:10:23,873 Lady Vivian? 124 00:10:25,593 --> 00:10:26,913 Oh, no. 125 00:10:29,674 --> 00:10:31,194 Merlin... 126 00:10:31,194 --> 00:10:34,315 Can't you knock?

Really? 133 00:10:53,478 --> 00:10:56,519 You know one of those occasions when you've lost all hope 134 00:10:56,519 --> 00:11:00,839 and then out of the blue something happens to restore your faith. Sort of. 135 00:11:00,839 --> 00:11:03,680 Well, that's what's happened to me today. 136 00:11:05,560 --> 00:11:09,121 I may have caused a problem. Although it wasn't entirely my doing. 137 00:11:09,121 --> 00:11:11,882 What now, Merlin? Arthur's in love. 138 00:11:11,882 --> 00:11:17,163 How did you cause that? That bit isn't my fault. The other bit is. I can't tell you about that bit. 139 00:11:17,163 --> 00:11:18,403 Clear as mud. 140 00:11:18,403 --> 00:11:21,323 Arthur is besotted. He can't concentrate on anything. 141 00:11:21,323 --> 00:11:26,004 All he thinks about, all he talks about is... 142 00:11:26,004 --> 00:11:29,045 It's the Lady Vivian. 143 00:11:29,045 --> 00:11:32,365 The Lady Vivian? How could that have happened so suddenly? 144 00:11:32,365 --> 00:11:34,406 I don't know. 145 00:11:34,406 --> 00:11:36,646 Something doesn't feel right. 146 00:11:36,646 --> 00:11:38,927 Only yesterday, he dismissed her as rude. 147 00:11:38,927 --> 00:11:44,328 If Arthur professes his love for Vivian, Olaf will be furious. Surely Arthur knows that? 148 00:11:44,328 --> 00:11:49,609 See, he said it was his job to woo his lady by the end of the day. 149 00:11:49,609 --> 00:11:51,289 Then it is your job to stop him. 150 00:11:57,450 --> 00:12:00,811 Who is it? It is destiny, my love. 151 00:12:03,211 --> 00:12:06,092 Destiny and chicken. 152 00:12:08,052 --> 00:12:10,373 What a beautiful combination, eh? 153 00:12:13,733 --> 00:12:16,494 The beans are a little cold, but the meat is very good. 154 00:12:16,494 --> 00:12:20,294 Go away. My love, I do not know what I have done to offend you. 155 00:12:20,294 --> 00:12:23,015 Your love? Not now, nor ever. 156 00:12:23,015 --> 00:12:26,015 Come now... My father will kill you if he finds you here. 157 00:12:26,015 --> 00:12:29,176 Your father does not worry me. 158 00:12:29,176 --> 00:12:34,417 You won't say that when he's running at you with a knife in his hand. I've seen it before. Really? Yes. 159 00:12:35,617 --> 00:12:40,818 Just five minutes? My lord. I don't think your advances are welcome. 160 00:12:40,818 --> 00:12:43,979 Go away, and take your chicken with you! 161 00:12:43,979 --> 00:12:47,740 I don't know what gives you that impression. 162 00:12:56,821 --> 00:13:02,342 Damn it! Every woman in the land is attracted to this boy. 163 00:13:03,863 --> 00:13:06,343 I'm almost attracted to him myself. 164 00:13:06,343 --> 00:13:08,663 HE CHUCKLES 165 00:13:10,424 --> 00:13:15,745 Not Lady Vivian, my lord. We have until the end of tomorrow to scupper these talks. 166 00:13:15,745 --> 00:13:19,746 I NEED war, do you understand? 167 00:13:19,746 --> 00:13:23,626 Oh, yes, I do. I do. Peace will make me poor. 168 00:13:23,626 --> 00:13:28,307 And you know what happens to poor kings? 169 00:13:28,307 --> 00:13:31,308 They can't afford castles... 170 00:13:31,308 --> 00:13:36,429 or knights...or jesters. 171 00:13:36,429 --> 00:13:39,549 But Master... Enough. 172 00:13:39,549 --> 00:13:44,070 There will be time for snivelling when the axe is over your head. 173 00:13:44,070 --> 00:13:46,991 Now there is work to be done. 174 00:13:46,991 --> 00:13:49,351 Yes, sir. Yes, sir. 175 00:13:52,072 --> 00:13:55,632 Go on, Merlin, say it. 176 00:13:55,632 --> 00:13:57,873 What? 177 00:13:57,873 --> 00:14:02,874 You do not think I should pursue my love. I think a number of things stand in the way of a happy union 178 00:14:02,874 --> 00:14:06,354 between you and Lady Vivian. Her blood-thirsty father for one. 179 00:14:06,354 --> 00:14:08,715 Her complete lack of interest for another. 180 00:14:11,075 --> 00:14:14,156 Might it be worthwhile returning to your old love? 181 00:14:14,156 --> 00:14:18,997 Although, I have my reservations about that as well. What? I don't have an old love. 182 00:14:24,958 --> 00:14:27,438 What on earth...? 183 00:14:29,639 --> 00:14:33,359 You really need to start paying attention to the details. 184 00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:38,480 I knew something wasn't right. Arthur's enchanted. 185 00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:44,321 I should've realised he had magic. No-one can make butterflies appear from thin air. Trickler. 186 00:14:44,321 --> 00:14:49,922 Why would he want Arthur to fall in love with Vivian? An advance by Arthur would ruin the conference. 187 00:14:49,922 --> 00:14:53,243 Maybe Alined wants war. Without creating it himself. 188 00:14:53,243 --> 00:14:56,764 It is the sort of cowardly behaviour you would expect from him. 189 00:14:56,764 --> 00:14:58,724 Cowardly, but clever. 190 00:14:58,724 --> 00:15:04,085 We need to find a way of turning Arthur back to normal.

He will not rescind the challenge. 337 00:28:17,114 --> 00:28:20,954 He says his honour has been tainted. He demands recompense. 338 00:28:20,954 --> 00:28:23,555 You didn't have to do that, Father. 339 00:28:23,555 --> 00:28:26,836 The fight is to the death.

Love potions are strange. 348 00:29:02,762 --> 00:29:06,003 You need to go to Uther. No! 349 00:29:06,003 --> 00:29:07,563 It's a fight to the death. 350 00:29:07,563 --> 00:29:12,604 If Uther realises that one of the kings is using magic, there will certainly be a war. 351 00:29:12,604 --> 00:29:16,205 The only way out of this situation is to unenchant Arthur. 352 00:29:18,525 --> 00:29:20,726 And unenchant him fast! 353 00:29:26,567 --> 00:29:30,368 Anything interesting?

It is very surprising. 358 00:29:48,571 --> 00:29:51,732 I don't know why he couldn't control his feelings. Indeed. 359 00:29:53,132 --> 00:29:57,053 I will miss the tourney if you don't mind.
