1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:03,000
In a land of myth
and a time of magic,

2
00:00:03,280 --> 00:00:07,900
the destiny of a great kingdom rests
on the shoulders of a young boy.

3
00:00:07,900 --> 00:00:09,860
His name...

4
00:00:09,860 --> 00:00:11,680
Merlin.

5
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:42,800
It was Cenred who did this -
you're certain of it?

6
00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:46,920
Yes, my lord. His messenger has
only this minute departed Camelot.

7
00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:50,360
Cenred said that the patrol
trespassed on his land,

8
00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:53,160
and an example had to be made.

9
00:00:53,160 --> 00:00:54,960
How many dead?

10
00:00:57,760 --> 00:00:59,920
All of them, Sire.

11
00:00:59,920 --> 00:01:00,960
Every last man.

12
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:03,040
The Knights?

13
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:05,360
All lost.

14
00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:09,200
Edric, Alduuf...

15
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:10,880
Osric.

16
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:13,320
And Sir Leon.

17
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:30,760
Here!

18
00:01:42,320 --> 00:01:43,640
Quick!

19
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:47,640
Help me. We do not have much time.
Ready.

20
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:57,520
His spirit leaves him.
We must hurry.

21
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:05,680
ALL: Buthed gwared...
hrag pob ailed...

22
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:09,760
hrag pob evnis... boyd un thilis.

23
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:14,040
THEY REPEAT THE INCANTATION

24
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:34,640
Welcome back.

25
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:12,640
We thought you were dead for sure.

26
00:03:12,640 --> 00:03:16,240
I was dead, or as good as.
Until the Druids found me.

27
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:18,800
The Druids?

28
00:03:19,920 --> 00:03:23,880
Yes, my lord. I owe them my life.

29
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:27,480
How did they heal you?
You were as good as dead, you said.

30
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:30,240
I don't know. Did they use magic?

31
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:34,120
Well, I... Yes or no?
It's a simple enough question.

32
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:38,320
I only know that I drank
from some kind of cup, Sire.

33
00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:39,680
Cup?

34
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:43,080
It was extraordinary, my lord.

35
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:47,640
I have known nothing like it.
From the moment it touched my lips,

36
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:50,560
I could feel my life return to me.

37
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:00,360
Well...

38
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:03,080
your trials have left you weary,
I'm sure.

39
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:04,400
We must let him rest.

40
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:17,400
Is that it? That's it.

41
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:20,720
He is exhausted, Sire,
and severely dehydrated,

42
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:24,000
but given time he'll make
a full recovery. Thank you, Gaius.

43
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:34,480
Well?

44
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:37,480
It's remarkable, Sire.

45
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:41,760
He bears no sign of any kind of
wound. He is in perfect health.

46
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:43,400
And the cup he spoke of?

47
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:47,840
From his description,
I would say it was the Cup of Life.

48
00:04:51,280 --> 00:04:53,640
You are aware of its power, Gaius?

49
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:57,520
I am indeed, Sire. But the Druids
are a peaceful people.

50
00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:01,360
They would only ever use the cup
for good. Sir Leon is surely proof
of that.

51
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:04,720
Be that as it may, according to
Sir Leon's description,

52
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:07,440
the Druids' cave lies within
Cenred's kingdom.

53
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:09,840
It is imperative that we get to
the cup before he does.

54
00:05:09,840 --> 00:05:13,600
My lord...the Druids
are secretive by nature.

55
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:15,400
They will have the cup well hidden.

56
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:17,800
Might it not be wise
to leave it where it is?

57
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:19,720
I am not prepared to take that risk.

58
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:33,240
I thought the cup was destroyed
with Nimueh, when I defeated her on
the Isle of the Blessed.

59
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:34,920
The cup cannot be destroyed.

60
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:37,600
Its magic is eternal,
unbound by time or place.

61
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:39,240
But why does Uther fear it so much?

62
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:41,640
Because the cup can be used
for evil as well as good.

63
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:44,080
I don't understand.

64
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:47,760
Many centuries ago, it fell into
the possession of a great warlord.

65
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:50,960
One night, he gathered
his army before him.

66
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:55,160
He took a drop of blood
from each and every man

67
00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:56,960
and collected it in the cup.

68
00:05:56,960 --> 00:05:59,160
Such was the vessel's power

69
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:03,080
that the soldiers
were made immortal where they stood.

70
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:04,960
So they could not be killed.

71
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:10,160
The carnage they wrought
was beyond all imagining.

72
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:14,400
The King's no fool. He knows that
the forces of the Old Religion

73
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:16,680
are rising against him once more.

74
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:20,960
Heaven forbid that the cup should
fall into the hands of Morgause.

75
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:22,400
Or Morgana.

76
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:25,240
With such a weapon
at their disposal,

77
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:27,640
Camelot would be all but lost.

78
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:36,480
You called for me, Father.
Cenred is our sworn enemy.

79
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:40,280
We cannot risk him getting his hands
on the Cup of Life. I know, Father.

80
00:06:40,280 --> 00:06:44,360
You must retrieve it.
Your mission must remain secret.
You can speak to no-one of this.

81
00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:46,800
I will take only
my most trusted men.

82
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:50,840
We have seen what happened to
the last patrol that entered
Cenred's land.

83
00:06:50,840 --> 00:06:53,200
You must go alone.

84
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:58,440
I am sorry to place such a burden
upon you but there is no-one else
I can trust.

85
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:01,480
I understand, Father.

86
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:13,280
You will be ready by sunrise,
won't you, Merlin?

87
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:17,920
If I don't know where we're going,
how do I know what to pack?
Will it be hot, cold? Wet, dry?

88
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:20,960
Don't be such a girl, Merlin.
We're not going on holiday.

89
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:23,200
Holiday? What's a holiday?

90
00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:28,000
Not that. Nothing bearing the crest
of Camelot. We're going undercover.

91
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:31,480
This is ridiculous. Are you going
to tell me where we're going or not?

92
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:34,000
Well, I can tell you
it'll be dangerous.

93
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:37,440
Great(!) We'll be travelling through
bandit-infested lands.

94
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:39,800
Terrific. Then where?
I can't tell you that.

95
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:44,960
You don't know where we're going.
No. I know where we're going.
I just can't tell you, that's all.

96
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:47,920
Right. Cos if you do,
you'll have to kill me, I suppose.

97
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:50,720
Immediately and without hesitation.

98
00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:53,320
Great.

99
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:58,800
It'll be a surprise.
I love surprises. Who doesn't
love a good...surprise?

100
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:25,560
What is it you wanted
to tell me, sister?

101
00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:27,800
Arthur rides at dawn.

102
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:30,200
He's been sent to
recover some kind of cup.

103
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:32,280
The Cup of Life, they called it.

104
00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:35,280
The Cup of Life - are you sure?

105
00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:37,080
I heard every word.

106
00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:41,640
How long I have searched for it...

107
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:45,840
Is it as powerful as they believe?

108
00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:47,600
Oh, yes.

109
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:50,560
Trust me, sister.
With the cup in our possession,

110
00:08:50,560 --> 00:08:54,720
Camelot would soon be at our mercy.
Where is the cup now?

111
00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:56,280
It is in the hands of the Druids.

112
00:08:56,280 --> 00:09:00,280
All I know is that their camp
lies within Cenred's kingdom.

113
00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:03,360
Then perhaps Cenred will be
of use to us again.

114
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:06,960
He has spies everywhere.
If he can have Arthur followed...

115
00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:10,880
Then Arthur will lead us
all the way to the cup itself.

116
00:09:41,560 --> 00:09:43,800
Which way was the Prince heading?

117
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:45,960
For the Forest of Ascetir, my lady.

118
00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:49,080
Send word to the scouts in the area.
They must be prepared.

119
00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:50,120
Yes, Sire.

120
00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:53,920
Can your scouts be relied upon?

121
00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:55,600
Of course.

122
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:57,200
I hand-picked them myself.

123
00:09:57,200 --> 00:09:59,400
Why does that not reassure me?

124
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:02,000
Do not concern yourself, my lady.

125
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:04,360
The Cup of Life
will soon be in our hands.

126
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:06,960
And when it is,
Camelot will be ours.

127
00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:09,800
You forget yourself, Cenred.

128
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:13,720
It is Morgana that will take
the throne, not you or I.

129
00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:15,960
I make no claim upon the throne.

130
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:19,120
Only the spoils of victory.

131
00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:22,600
You will get what you deserve,
Cenred.

132
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:24,800
I can assure you of that.

133
00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:34,840
We're going to Cenred's Kingdom,
aren't we? What makes you say that?

134
00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:37,840
Er, we're in the Forest of Ascetir.
We're not stopping.

135
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:42,120
You can think what you like, Merlin.
Come on. You might as well tell me.

136
00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:44,200
Then I'd have to kill you.
I told you that.

137
00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:46,320
Go ahead.
I'm probably going to die anyway.

138
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:50,760
Look at what happened to
the patrol that came here.
Dead, the lot of them.

139
00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:52,480
Sir Leon survived.

140
00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:54,680
Right. So that gives me, what?

141
00:10:54,680 --> 00:10:56,680
A one in 40 chance of making it?

142
00:10:56,680 --> 00:10:59,440
Rather less, actually.
There are only two of us.

143
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:03,720
So I'm not probably going to die -
I'm DEFINITELY going to die.
Always the pessimist, Merlin.

144
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:06,320
Who knows? Maybe just this once,
we'll have no trouble.

145
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:08,320
Maybe you're right.

146
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:10,520
But if past experience
is anything to go by...

147
00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:14,280
HORSE NEIGHS

148
00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:28,720
What was that you were saying
about me being a pessimist?

149
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:30,880
Must have slipped my mind.

150
00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:37,920
Touch me again, you die. Gwaine?!

151
00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:41,080
No manners, you royals. Merlin,
old friend, you look terrible.

152
00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:42,720
Likewise.

153
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:46,240
What are you doing here? You know.
Wrong place, wrong time,
wrong drink.

154
00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:49,600
Nothing's changed there, then?
That's just unfair.

155
00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:52,400
Where exactly are we?
The bowels of an old castle.

156
00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:54,560
Belongs to a fella named Jarl.

157
00:11:54,560 --> 00:11:57,440
Never heard of him. Lovely bloke.
Slave Trader.

158
00:11:57,440 --> 00:11:59,480
We're going to be sold as slaves?

159
00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:02,280
Right, you filthy vermin!

160
00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:06,200
Which one of you is ready to face
my champion in the arena?

161
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:08,040
No volunteers?

162
00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:13,240
Well, I shall have to choose one
of you toerags myself, then...

163
00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:15,040
Let me see...

164
00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:18,800
How about...you?

165
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:26,640
Me? Death or glory, boy.
You should be honoured.

166
00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:32,480
Who is this so-called champion?
Can he crush nothing but weaklings
like this?

167
00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:36,320
You think you could
offer a better contest?

168
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:39,040
I guarantee it.

169
00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:40,720
Arthur, no.

170
00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:42,160
Very well.

171
00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:44,040
But if you lose...

172
00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:48,920
I'll feed your little friend to
the crows, piece by stinking piece.

173
00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:53,720
Are you ready, my champion?

174
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:55,520
I am.

175
00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:03,360
How could you let this happen?

176
00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:05,920
You let Arthur slip through
your fingers.

177
00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:09,400
He was taken before my men
could get to him.

178
00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:12,160
Taken? By whom, exactly?

179
00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:15,640
The slave trader, Jarl.
He's been working our western border
for months.

180
00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:16,840
And you let him?

181
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:21,360
We have an understanding. He doesn't
bother me, and I don't bother him.

182
00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:25,960
And where is this Jarl now?
Don't worry, Morgause.
I'll find him soon enough.

183
00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:27,800
See that you do.

184
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:30,720
Are you threatening me?

185
00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:33,320
Trust me, Cenred.

186
00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:36,800
When I'm threatening you,
you'll know about it.

187
00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:43,960
RAUCOUS CHEERING

188
00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:47,360
Gentlemen. The rules are simple.

189
00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:49,760
One man lives and one man dies.

190
00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:51,600
CHEERING

191
00:13:52,680 --> 00:13:56,560
If you cannot, or will not,
finish off your opponent...

192
00:13:56,560 --> 00:13:57,680
I'll kill you both.

193
00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:07,960
Let battle commence!

194
00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:09,440
CHEERING

195
00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:36,360
Take it easy, will you? It's got to
look real, hasn't it?

196
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:42,680
Fine. If it's real you want...

197
00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:01,760
So far, so good. What comes next?

198
00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:04,040
Er... There was no next.

199
00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:05,760
Finish him!

200
00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:10,320
Forbaern aeltaewlice.

201
00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:14,400
CROWD EXCLAIMS

202
00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:17,240
FRENZIED SHOUTING

203
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:43,400
THEY PANT

204
00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:48,880
Now, that's somewhere I'll
not be in hurry to see again.

205
00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:53,360
Best stay out of trouble, then.
I could say the same to you.

206
00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:56,720
You could do,  but I wouldn't have
any idea what you were talking about.

207
00:15:56,720 --> 00:16:00,200
C'mon. You must have done something
to end up in a hole like that.

208
00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:05,280
Actually, we were on a quest.

209
00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:07,520
We're looking for the Cup of Life.

210
00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:14,400
What? What part of the word
"secret" did you not understand?

211
00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:16,400
It's...Gwaine.

212
00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:18,680
Gentlemen, gentlemen,

213
00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:24,000
it seems - whatever it is
that you're after - you could use
a little help.

214
00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:31,800
No-one makes a fool of Jarl!

215
00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:33,280
No-one!

216
00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:37,480
I want to know who they are
and where they're hiding!

217
00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:39,040
My lord...

218
00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:44,520
What's that?! It was confiscated
from the prisoners, my lord.

219
00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:46,600
It may hold some clues.

220
00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:49,640
I don't want clues. I want blood!

221
00:16:57,440 --> 00:16:59,160
Ugh!

222
00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:22,040
Well, well, well.

223
00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:25,240
It seems we were
entertaining royalty.

224
00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:28,840
HE CACKLES

225
00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:31,880
So according to Merlin here,

226
00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:34,640
if you tell me where
this cup is, you'll have to kill me.

227
00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:35,840
That's correct.

228
00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:38,360
May as well tell me, then.
I mean, let's be honest -

229
00:17:38,360 --> 00:17:41,120
you couldn't kill me
even if you wanted to.

230
00:17:41,120 --> 00:17:43,200
Yeah? Try me.

231
00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:47,320
I already did. Back in the arena.
I had you bang to rights, did I not?

232
00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:49,360
That... was just a game.

233
00:17:49,360 --> 00:17:52,600
Oh, a game? Right.
I won that game, did I not?

234
00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:54,440
No, you didn't! One more minute...

235
00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:57,800
One more minute and you both would
have been dead! Neither of you won.

236
00:17:57,800 --> 00:17:59,920
Your plan was a half-baked disaster

237
00:17:59,920 --> 00:18:03,120
and if it was not for that fire,
we would all be pushing up daisies.

238
00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:09,040
You're certain it was Arthur?

239
00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:11,040
Oh, yes. It was the prince,
all right.

240
00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:12,800
Matched your description exactly.

241
00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:16,000
He had his servant with him.
Him and another man.

242
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:18,440
And you have proof of this?

243
00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:27,840
Where were they headed? West.

244
00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:29,280
Into the Forest of Gedney.

245
00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:33,360
They've no horses -
the tracks told us as much.
You'll soon run them down.

246
00:18:34,360 --> 00:18:39,760
Excellent. Always glad to be
of help to people of quality,
such as yourselves.

247
00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:44,640
Perhaps some small compensation
for my time and trouble?

248
00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:49,640
My dear man. How remiss of me. You
will have your reward this instant.

249
00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:51,880
HE GROANS

250
00:19:06,360 --> 00:19:09,720
Well, don't tell me
we're actually here.

251
00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:13,240
Easy, Merlin.
Wouldn't want to rile the prince.

252
00:19:41,120 --> 00:19:43,520
It has to be here somewhere.

253
00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:01,320
Where is it?

254
00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:02,760
Hmm?

255
00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:04,080
Where's the cup?

256
00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:09,080
Tell me. Let him go, Arthur.
He's just a boy.

257
00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:10,200
Where...is it?

258
00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:11,360
Arthur.

259
00:20:11,360 --> 00:20:12,840
Stay out of this, Merlin.

260
00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:14,360
No, Arthur, really...

261
00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:19,680
One step closer...

262
00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:22,640
There is no need for violence,
Arthur Pendragon.

263
00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:26,680
The boy has done you no harm.
Release him.

264
00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:30,280
Not without what I came for.

265
00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:33,440
You seek the Cup of Life,
do you not?

266
00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:36,600
I do.

267
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:39,080
It is yours.

268
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:42,760
Please, now...

269
00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:44,000
The boy.

270
00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:03,920
You meddle with a power you do not
understand, Arthur Pendragon.

271
00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:07,040
By taking the Cup of Life,
you risk more than you know.

272
00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:13,680
I'll take my chances, thanks.

273
00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:19,040
Let's go.

274
00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:27,680
IN MERLIN'S HEAD: 'Emrys...

275
00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:34,200
'The cup is in your care now.
Guard it well.

276
00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:37,920
'The future of this land
depends on it.'

277
00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:51,000
Hard work, this quest business.

278
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:55,680
Trust me - it's a great deed we did
here today. Are you sure the cup
wasn't safer with the Druids?

279
00:21:55,680 --> 00:22:00,640
They can't be trusted, Merlin.
No-one can. The only safe place
for the cup is the vaults of Camelot.

280
00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:02,840
Yeah, but we have to get it there
first.

281
00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:11,560
Get the cup...

282
00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:12,760
then kill them.

283
00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:17,840
We're approaching the border
of Cenred's lands.

284
00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:21,440
Beyond the forest lies Camelot.

285
00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:23,640
And food and water
and a nice hot bath.

286
00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:24,760
Quiet.

287
00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:27,560
Listen!

288
00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:29,600
SILENCE

289
00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:33,160
I can't hear anything.

290
00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:35,240
Exactly.

291
00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:38,120
Never satisfied, you city types.
It's too noisy, it's too quiet...

292
00:22:38,120 --> 00:22:39,760
Run!

293
00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:52,920
Agh!

294
00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:25,120
Merlin! >

295
00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:35,480
That doesn't look too great.

296
00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:37,480
The arrow must have been poisoned.

297
00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:40,880
He's got a fever.
We need to keep him warm.

298
00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:42,640
I don't get it.

299
00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:44,320
Why all this bother over a cup?

300
00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:49,360
Because in the wrong hands,
it can become a terrible weapon.

301
00:23:49,360 --> 00:23:52,440
Not so great Cenred's got it, then?

302
00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:55,400
It's worse than you can
possibly imagine.

303
00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:15,320
Loyal friends...

304
00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:16,840
our time is at hand.

305
00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:21,320
From today, no sword will fell you,

306
00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:24,400
no spear will stop you short.

307
00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:27,840
Your blood will not
be spilled in vain,

308
00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:29,720
but in victory.

309
00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:35,040
You march with the mightiest weapon
of them all -

310
00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:36,840
immortality!

311
00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:45,040
Gegadra anne here

312
00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:49,560
fram pisse bune ond heora blod...

313
00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:54,640
Swa paet he ne abuge
and ne swelte noht,

314
00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:58,000
ac libbe a on ecnysse.

315
00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:24,040
Arthur should be back by now.

316
00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:26,400
I'm sure there's
a simple explanation, Sire.

317
00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:30,080
You know as well as I do he's been
gone too long. Take a patrol.

318
00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:33,200
As many men as you need.
Whatever it takes, find him.

319
00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:34,680
Yes, Sire.

320
00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:41,120
You show great strength, my lord.

321
00:25:41,120 --> 00:25:43,360
What do you mean?

322
00:25:43,360 --> 00:25:46,080
Day after day you, must send
your only son into danger.

323
00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:49,760
Not a responsibility any father
would wish to bear.

324
00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:52,640
You must try not to worry.

325
00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:57,520
He is the First Knight of Camelot
and your greatest warrior.

326
00:25:57,520 --> 00:25:59,680
He's made it home safe in the past.

327
00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:01,760
Why should this time
be any different?

328
00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:07,800
You're right.

329
00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:10,560
Of course you are.

330
00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:33,160
We need more firewood.

331
00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:34,600
You're right about that.

332
00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:37,520
D'you want to go and get some?

333
00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:39,360
Not really. Thanks for asking.

334
00:26:41,120 --> 00:26:45,200
There's wolves out there.
Bears, boars...

335
00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:49,000
Exactly. I'm not a warrior.
I can't defend myself like you.

336
00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:50,840
Never too late to learn.

337
00:26:54,120 --> 00:26:56,360
Merlin...

338
00:26:56,360 --> 00:27:01,320
don't you know when someone's joking
with you? If I die collecting
firewood,

339
00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:05,360
keep it to yourself.
I've got my reputation to consider.

340
00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:17,840
Gehalge.

341
00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:27,880
Gehalge.

342
00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:34,600
Come on.

343
00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:38,160
Arthur, come on.

344
00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:50,760
Magnificent, aren't they?

345
00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:54,400
My army of immortals. YOUR army?

346
00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:58,000
Well, they are my men. Correction.
They WERE your men.

347
00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:00,600
It is I that made them immortal -
they are bound to me now.

348
00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:03,480
Do not think for one moment that
you can cross me, my lady.

349
00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:04,720
Cross you?

350
00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:07,960
Never.

351
00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:11,440
Ic bebiode the thine cyning cwellan!

352
00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:15,280
What are you doing?

353
00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:17,920
Have I not always been honest
with you, Cenred?

354
00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:20,600
Stop!

355
00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:22,600
Stop! You answer to me, not to her!

356
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:35,720
Morgause, Morgause, make him stop!
Please, I beg you. Make him stop!

357
00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:40,560
Did I not say that when I threatened
you, you'd know about it?

358
00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:44,240
Well, now you know.

359
00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:45,720
Morgause, please...

360
00:29:01,360 --> 00:29:02,400
My God!

361
00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:07,240
All right, men. Come on.

362
00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:47,840
HE GRUNTS

363
00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:03,760
ARTHUR COUGHS

364
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:16,960
Where's the cup?

365
00:30:19,280 --> 00:30:20,520
Where's the cup?!

366
00:30:20,520 --> 00:30:21,960
Cenred's men - they took it.

367
00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:24,760
Then what are we still doing here?!
You were unconscious.

368
00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:26,360
Always an excuse, Merlin.

369
00:30:26,360 --> 00:30:27,680
HE GROANS

370
00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:36,160
We have to get to Camelot
before it's too late.

371
00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:39,240
CHURCH BELL TOLLS

372
00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:41,080
We must convene the Council of War.

373
00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:44,200
They cannot be stopped. The
soldiers, Sire. They will not fall.

374
00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:45,480
What are you saying?

375
00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:47,320
They will not die.

376
00:30:47,320 --> 00:30:50,760
Gather the Knights.
Prepare whatever defences you can.

377
00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:52,480
But, Sire. DO IT!

378
00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:05,400
It's Cenred. It must be.

379
00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:09,600
How? The location of the cup
was secret.

380
00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:12,120
There's only one explanation, Sire.

381
00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:14,280
We have a traitor in our midst.

382
00:31:59,960 --> 00:32:03,600
Gwen. Is it true
they attack at dawn?

383
00:32:03,600 --> 00:32:05,760
I'm afraid so.

384
00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:08,360
And no word from Arthur?

385
00:32:09,360 --> 00:32:11,320
Nothing.

386
00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:13,480
Then all is lost.

387
00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:17,640
We will be massacred.
Every last one of us.

388
00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:21,360
Not everyone has to die.

389
00:32:22,920 --> 00:32:25,400
What do you mean, "not everyone"?

390
00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:28,480
Those that defy them -

391
00:32:28,480 --> 00:32:31,080
those that choose to fight -
they will surely die.

392
00:32:32,600 --> 00:32:34,400
But those who do not resist,

393
00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:37,840
those who choose to
welcome change...

394
00:32:37,840 --> 00:32:40,080
They will have a future here.

395
00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:44,480
Everyone has a choice, Gwen.

396
00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:53,000
You know I have always been loyal
to you, Morgana.

397
00:32:54,120 --> 00:32:56,160
And I always will be.

398
00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:00,680
Then have no fear.

399
00:33:00,680 --> 00:33:03,320
No harm will come to you.
I can promise you that.

400
00:33:09,640 --> 00:33:12,640
MOB ROARS

401
00:33:21,360 --> 00:33:23,800
What the hell happened?

402
00:33:23,800 --> 00:33:25,400
I don't know.

403
00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:29,560
We need to hurry. We're still
a day's march from Camelot.

404
00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:36,520
A Camelot patrol.

405
00:33:36,520 --> 00:33:39,000
There's not a single enemy body.

406
00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:45,040
He's right. This wasn't a fight,
this was a slaughter.

407
00:33:45,040 --> 00:33:47,320
Who could have done such a thing?

408
00:33:50,840 --> 00:33:53,320
An army of men that cannot die.

409
00:33:57,120 --> 00:33:58,160
Come on.

410
00:34:31,920 --> 00:34:33,440
They never stood a chance.

411
00:34:51,560 --> 00:34:53,520
Here...let me.

412
00:35:07,840 --> 00:35:09,040
Elyan!

413
00:35:10,040 --> 00:35:11,520
I'm sorry.

414
00:35:13,120 --> 00:35:14,840
Where is everyone?

415
00:35:17,240 --> 00:35:20,960
I-I-I thought that... Elyan, please.
What happened?

416
00:35:20,960 --> 00:35:24,360
They came out of nowhere.

417
00:35:24,360 --> 00:35:28,480
A mighty army. Weapons were
useless against them.

418
00:35:29,480 --> 00:35:32,160
They were men, Sire, but not men...

419
00:35:34,960 --> 00:35:36,680
Nothing could kill them.

420
00:35:37,680 --> 00:35:38,720
Nothing.

421
00:35:41,760 --> 00:35:44,040
Where's your sister?
Where's Guinevere?

422
00:35:44,040 --> 00:35:46,560
She was in the citadel
when they attacked.

423
00:35:47,920 --> 00:35:49,680
There's still hope.

424
00:35:50,680 --> 00:35:52,400
Sire...

425
00:35:54,640 --> 00:35:56,840
..the citadel's been taken.

426
00:36:03,360 --> 00:36:05,280
Let's go.

427
00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:10,560
How much longer can he
keep going like this?

428
00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:12,280
I don't know.

429
00:36:23,080 --> 00:36:25,080
FOOTSTEPS APPROACH

430
00:36:36,800 --> 00:36:38,960
Where now?

431
00:36:38,960 --> 00:36:40,720
Now, er... Now we, er...

432
00:36:40,720 --> 00:36:44,160
Arthur. You can't go on.

433
00:36:44,160 --> 00:36:47,520
We must. We must find the others.
You can't go on without treatment.

434
00:36:47,520 --> 00:36:51,480
Guinevere...my father. Elyan,
do you know the way to the dungeons?

435
00:36:51,480 --> 00:36:54,480
Yes, I think so. Go with Gwaine.
See if you can find them.

436
00:36:55,880 --> 00:36:58,120
I'm going with them. You're not.
That's an order.

437
00:36:58,120 --> 00:37:01,040
To hell with your orders.
You're coming with me.

438
00:37:03,200 --> 00:37:05,600
FOOTSTEPS APPROACH

439
00:37:16,360 --> 00:37:20,040
You're disobeying orders, Merlin.
I'll have you in the stocks for this.

440
00:37:20,040 --> 00:37:23,080
Fine. Now, stay put.
And try not to move that leg.

441
00:37:25,160 --> 00:37:26,600
< GLASS SMASHES

442
00:37:46,960 --> 00:37:48,600
Gaius!

443
00:37:48,600 --> 00:37:49,640
Merlin!

444
00:37:53,240 --> 00:37:55,280
Are you all right?

445
00:37:55,280 --> 00:37:57,040
All the better for seeing you!

446
00:37:57,040 --> 00:37:58,640
ARTHUR CLEARS HIS THROAT >

447
00:37:58,640 --> 00:37:59,960
Arthur!

448
00:38:00,960 --> 00:38:03,840
I tried to heal him, using magic,
but it didn't work.

449
00:38:05,960 --> 00:38:07,480
ARTHUR GRUNTS

450
00:38:08,080 --> 00:38:11,200
This may hurt a bit, Sire.

451
00:38:11,200 --> 00:38:12,320
HE GROANS

452
00:38:12,320 --> 00:38:15,000
The wound's infected.
I'll have to re-dress the leg,

453
00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:17,560
to reduce the inflammation.
No, no, no.

454
00:38:17,560 --> 00:38:21,080
We haven't got time. Just...give me
something to keep me going.

455
00:38:21,080 --> 00:38:22,400
Yes, Sire.

456
00:38:25,280 --> 00:38:27,320
It's the army of immortals,
isn't it?

457
00:38:27,320 --> 00:38:30,760
We're lucky to get away
with our lives. Any of us.

458
00:38:32,360 --> 00:38:35,280
Where are you taking me?
I am the King!

459
00:38:37,040 --> 00:38:39,240
I demand to know.

460
00:38:53,400 --> 00:38:57,440
The effect will be instant, Sire,
but I cannot guarantee
how long it will last.

461
00:38:57,440 --> 00:38:58,760
Thank you, Gaius.

462
00:38:58,760 --> 00:39:00,000
DOOR OPENS

463
00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:02,800
The King, Sire. He's alive!

464
00:39:02,800 --> 00:39:05,760
Where is he? They're taking him
to the throne room as we speak.

465
00:39:05,760 --> 00:39:08,960
This may be my last chance. There's
too many of them - you'll never
make it.

466
00:39:08,960 --> 00:39:12,800
I won't leave my father to die here
alone. Gwaine, Elyan, take Gaius

467
00:39:12,800 --> 00:39:16,200
and make your way to the woods
beyond the castle.

468
00:39:16,200 --> 00:39:17,560
I hope we meet again.

469
00:39:21,880 --> 00:39:23,880
Merlin, you should go with them.

470
00:39:25,440 --> 00:39:27,400
Nah, I've seen the woods already.

471
00:39:34,720 --> 00:39:36,760
FOOTSTEPS APPROACH

472
00:39:44,960 --> 00:39:46,520
Are you all right?

473
00:39:46,520 --> 00:39:48,400
Keep moving.

474
00:39:59,640 --> 00:40:03,040
Well, Uther...

475
00:40:03,040 --> 00:40:05,000
how the mighty have fallen.

476
00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:08,960
(The guards are immortal -
they'll cut you to ribbons.
What use are you dead?)

477
00:40:12,880 --> 00:40:16,320
I don't think you'll be
needing this any more.

478
00:40:16,320 --> 00:40:18,000
This is unlawful.

479
00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:19,800
You cannot do this.

480
00:40:19,800 --> 00:40:22,080
You have no right to the throne!

481
00:40:31,200 --> 00:40:32,440
No, she does not.

482
00:40:36,400 --> 00:40:37,600
But I do.

483
00:40:47,360 --> 00:40:49,680
I am your daughter, after all.

484
00:40:59,160 --> 00:41:02,400
Don't look so surprised.
I've known for some time.

485
00:41:22,800 --> 00:41:25,080
By the power vested in me...

486
00:41:27,240 --> 00:41:30,040
..I crown thee, Morgana Pendragon...

487
00:41:31,880 --> 00:41:33,840
..Queen of Camelot.

488
00:42:18,640 --> 00:42:19,960
No!
