Original subtitles

In a land of myth and a time of magic, the destiny of a great kingdom rests on

the shoulders of a young boy.

His name, Harlan.

Yes, sir?

Are you deaf?

I wish.

I want you to go down there and tell them to stop.

But they're working under the king's orders.

Yeah.

And you're working under mine.

I didn't think you died.

Gaius?

Hmm?

Do you know who's tomb it is?

Not sure.

Do you think it might be cursed?

Saved my life.

Thank you.

Idiot.

When your ball comes, how do you work at it?

It's just one of my many gifts.

Well, this is quite a find.

You see, guys, I was right.

There is treasure to be found under Camelot.

Which of my predecessors do I have to thank for all this?

All right.

I'd have to look into it, sir.

How did he die?

He seems to have, unwittingly, triggered a trap here to deter grave robbers.

Well, there's plenty in here people would want to steal.

Have them secure the tomb. Guarding it is your responsibility, Arthur.

Yes, Father.

What size would you say it was?

About that size. My word, really?

About that size, you say? Well, I never... Here you are.

Drink up.

And, uh, this tomb.

Bet they got that locked up nice and safe, didn't they?

Tighter than the king's coffin. Yeah.

Must be a way in, though.

Only with the key.

Right, right, right.

And who's got the key?

Uh...

You must think I'm stupid.

I'm not telling you that. Of course not.

A bright lad like you knows what that sort of information's worth.

Well, we don't want everyone to see.

Believe me, this place is full of thieves and fingersmiths. Put it inside

tunic.

And tell some of that fella over there.

Which one?

Far end of the bar.

See him?

He keeps on watching you.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, with a beard.

No, no.

That one.

Ah, I got my eye on him.

Thank you.

So who's got the keys?

Only the prince.

But don't get your hopes up.

He keeps them in his private chambers.

And there's only one person allowed in there.

His servant.

Hurry up, Merlin.

Sorry.

Merlin!

I don't understand.

Well, there's a surprise.

I did that guy's up myself. I think that might have been the problem.

It wasn't my fault.

Do you want me to fit it out properly for you, sir?

Thank you.

It's an honour to be of service to the Prince.

An honour?

Do you hear that, Merlin?

Allow me the honour of brushing your clothes down.

The honour.

Anything else I can do for you, sir?

Well, you can give Merlin here a kick up the backside.

I won't wish to deprive you of the pleasure, sir.

What's your name?

Cedric.

I've come to Camelot in search of work.

Good. You can be a beater on the hunt. We're short of a man or two.

You're too kind, sire.

Here.

You'll need a beater. Oh, sorry.

Who threw that?

You just saved my life.

Honestly, sire, it was nothing.

I shall be forever indebted to you. You must be rewarded.

I couldn't possibly.

Come on.

What do you wish for?

I desire only one thing, sire. Anything.

Position in the royal household.

Good.

Consider it done.

You can have that back soon.

Oh.

Sorry.

What's wrong?

I saved Arthur's life. Someone else got the credit.

Just the usual.

What are you doing?

I found this inscription on the scepter.

What language is that?

I don't know.

Segan would have known many languages.

Segan? It's his tomb.

Who's he?

No. He was the most powerful sorcerer I've ever lived.

Really? He didn't grow up in Camelot, but for those of us that did,

Fiegan was a figure of nightmare.

Why?

Fiegan's powers.

He could change day into night, turn the tide, and legend has it his spells

helped build Camelot itself.

What happened?

In the end, he grew too powerful, and the king at that time ordered his

execution.

If he's dead, why are you so worried?

Egan couldn't bear the thought that his wealth and power would die with him, so

he became obsessed with finding a way to defeat death itself.

You think you might have succeeded?

Let's hope not, for all our sakes.

Guys, what is it you want?

To seal up the burial chamber and all its contents.

Don't be ridiculous.

The insignia on this ring belongs to Cornelius Segan.

I believe it to be his tomb.

In the old religion, the name Segan means raven.

One of the riches is so great.

Then you're aware of the legend, sire.

Yes.

I've always enjoyed the tale of the arrogant sorcerer who came to an

end. According to the story, Segan cursed Camelot. He said he would one day

return and raze the city to the ground.

Gaius, you have long been my ally in the war against sorcery. You, more than

anyone, should not give in to these irrational fears.

Thank you, sir.

And Gaius, do not spread panic amongst my people.

With the fullest of this and nothing more.

I mean, there's nothing to be frightened of.

Shh, shh, shh.

That lunch?

No, it's breakfast.

Isn't it lovely, Cedric?

Is there anything else that you need doing, Ty?

No, I think Cedric's got it all covered.

Oh, I regret, sire, there is one thing I failed to do.

Muck out your horses.

Off you go.

I'll get the door for you.

What was his dream about?

A bird.

What kind of bird?

A raven. A raven?

It was terrifying.

What do you think it means?

Probably nothing.

It's happening again, isn't it?

Morgana, one raven doesn't mean that your nightmares are returning.

Are you taking the sleeping drops I prepared for you?

I could grant to give you something stronger.

Like a blow to the head.

I'm sure she wants to.

Thank you for watching.

Simon, what are you doing?

Nothing. I can see that.

I wasn't sleeping.

I was... I was just bending down.

Looking for something?

Yes.

Perhaps we're looking for the same thing.

What? Oh, I don't know. The horses.

The horses.

Oh. One mistake?

I can understand. Everyone has a bad day now and then, but this is one thing

after another.

I don't know what happened.

Dyer.

Please, sir, don't be too hard on him. He's a good servant. He's just... He's

tired. I am not.

Maybe... Maybe if you had the evening off... I don't want the evening off.

Good night's rest.

I did not fall asleep!

I'm more than willing to take over your duties tonight.

Perhaps you're right.

No. Shut up, Alan. Can't you see what he's trying to do?

He's trying to get rid of me, and if you weren't such a clock pole, you'd see

that.

Oh, what?

Clock pole. He said clock pole.

Cedric's right.

He can look after me tonight.

You can go home and think about whether you want to be my servant or not. But...

Go.

What's that in your face?

Nothing.

What's wrong?

Nothing.

Yeah.

an idiot.

What happened?

I just want Arthur to trust me and to see me for who I really am.

One day he will.

When?

Everything I do is for him and he just thinks I'm an idiot.

Not everyone thinks you're an idiot.

Although, looking at you now...

Now is not the time to be questioning many things, Merlin. I believe that you

and Arthur are destined for greatness, and that your calling is to serve and

protect him.

It's hard. I know it's hard.

But Camelot is in great peril.

I've translated the inscription.

He who breaks my heart completes my work.

What does it mean?

Do you remember the stone in the tomb how it glowed?

Yeah. I've never seen a jewel like it. That's because it's not a jewel.

It's a soul.

Or Cornelius Segan.

You think he's alive?

The soul is.

In order to truly live, a soul needs a body.

So, if the stone is removed from its stepping, then the heart is broken

and the soul released?

That's what I fear.

right outside in the anteroom should you need them.

That'll be all, Sephiroth.

Think

well,

Sire.

Hello, Eileen

It's on the warning bell.

Burn it.

Whoever did this got more than they bargained for.

I don't understand how they got in.

The gate's not even damaged.

They must have used a key.

Arthur's got the only key.

Where does he keep it?

On his belt with the others.

Does he ever take it off?

Only when he's asleep, he keeps it next to his bed.

Who had access to his chambers last night? Just me.

And... Cedric.

Cedric.

It's been left by an evil spirit.

What?

He tried to steal the jewel, but it wasn't a jewel. It was the soul of an

ancient sorcerer, Segan.

Merlin, have you been on the side?

Please, listen to me.

Camelot is in mortal danger.

Segan is using Cedric's body to take his revenge.

This nonsense isn't helping you keep your job. You are not listening to me!

You're going to shout anyway.

Cedric!

Will you escort Merlin from the palace?

Too far this time, Merlin. We can spend a few days cooling off in the cells.

Yes!

Return.

I don't know what this creature is, where it's come from. There's more than

Father. We've had several reports. There's panic in the lower town. People

fleeing the city.

Then you must hunt these creatures down and kill them.

Yes, sir.

You've seen what's happening. It is as I warned you, sire. It cannot be, Seager.

It is his revenge. He has come back from the dead. He will die again.

You do not understand, sir. You cannot kill a man who has conquered mortality.

Don't tell me what cannot be done. Camelot will not fall to a sorcerer

clean.

You shouldn't be doing this. It's exactly what I should be doing.

You need rest, Morgana. And I'm lucky to get it with all this going on.

Go on, Yvette.

Sire.

I think I killed you.

Then it's Bill, my son.

Sorry, Sire.

My pleasure.

I'll get you something to stop the bleeding.

Whatever.

What did you say?

Just, uh... You always surprise me.

Is that it, sire?

That's it.

Oh, and, uh... Thank you.

It's nothing.

Have we driven the creatures out? They have control of the lower town.

The market has been all but destroyed.

How many dead?

Too many to number.

I'm sealing the citadel.

You can't. I have no choice.

I have to protect those who have a chance.

If I don't, we will all fall.

Where are you going?

There are people trapped in the drawbridge. I forbid you. I'm not

to die.

It's suicide.

It's my duty to Camelot, and to myself.

Gaius.

What are you doing here?

I have to help Arthur.

And if he conspires to harm me, I'll do it.

I don't have a choice. But he's been an immortal and you are not. If you face

him, he will destroy you. There must be a way.

There's only one alive who's old enough to give us the answers we need.

What do you mean?

The great dragon.

You knew then?

That I used to live in him?

Yes, Merlin, of course I knew.

a creature of magic just as he is.

I hope that he could help you. He helped so and by himself.

For Arthur's sake, you must go to him now. I can't. We have no choice.

Check the survivors.

Then you will help me?

To defeat Segan.

You will need a spell more powerful than anything you know.

Please. I have to try.

Very well.

But you must give me something in return.

What? A promise.

A promise?

That one day, you will free me.

If I release you, What will you do?

That is not your concern.

I don't trust you. Nevertheless, you must promise or Camelot will fall.

I promise.

No, please, give me the spell.

Close your eyes and open your mind.

Few men have ever been gifted such knowledge.

Use it wisely.

I will.

You made a promise, young warlock.

And one day, I shall keep you to it.

If you open that door, you will die, we will die.

And a powerful one.

I won't let you hurt him.

And you're going to stop me.

I'll stop you.

He did not deserve your loyalty.

He treats you like a slave.

That's not true.

He cast you aside without a moment's thought.

That doesn't matter.

But it must hurt so much to be so...

Put upon, so overlooked, when all the while you have such power.

That's the way it has to be. Does it?

You're young, Merlin. Look inside yourself.

You have yet to discover your true power.

I can help you.

Think, Merlin.

To have the world appreciate your greatness. To have Arthur know you for

you are.

I can never be. It can.

If you join me.

Together we can rule over this land.

Arthur will tremble at your voice. He will kneel at your feet.

I don't want that.

You'd rather be a servant.

Better to serve a good man than to rule with an evil one.

So be it.

If you will not join me, I will become you, and your power will be

harnessed to my will.

Thank you.

Merlin?

Well done, my boy.

We must learn our lessons from these terrible events, guys.

Indeed, sire. They proved beyond doubt that I was right.

Magic is evil.

It is our greatest threat.

I have grown complacent, Gaius.

I wouldn't say that, sire.

We must renew our efforts.

We must ensure that all sources and their followers are eradicated from this

kingdom.

Of course, sir.

You know, you won't get any thanks, Merlin.

Not a complete idiot.

There you go. It's not much, but you deserve something.

Come to see Merlin.

I've not forgotten about your lazy...

insolent ways, or the fact that you called me a clot pole.

But I do have to admit that there was some truth in your accusations against

Cedric.

Does this mean you're admitting that in this occasion I was actually right?

Not exactly, no.

It means that I have a knighthood to bestow first thing tomorrow.

No one to clean my armour.

All that?

Yep.

Kloppo.

Merlin.

And what would you know about magic, Merlin? Nothing.

Today you will fight for glory and for honor.

That has got to hurt.

Nothing can ever happen between us. When you're king, you can change that. You

do realize your wife is a troll, sir?

Possible. How could you say such beauty?

Send for the Witchfinder.

Your magic is a secret to be guarded with your life.

I won't sacrifice a friend to save myself.

Gaius is already doomed.

My name is Lancelot.

No.

Do not believe that you can lie to me.

I'm going to kill each other!

The boy, Merlin.
