DRAGON: 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, Merlin.

(ALL SCREAMING)

I know you are tired,
but make one last effort for me.

Every shot must count!

GUINEVERE: I don't think people
can suffer a third night of this.

- You must trust in Arthur.
- I do,

but even he has little chance.

I'm sorry you're
having to do this.

Why? You're not to blame.

(ROARING IN DISTANCE)

Flame up!

Stay strong!

For tonight is not your night to die,
I'll make sure of that.

Hold firm!

Hold!

Hold!

Now!

- We've no clean water left.
- I know,

I know, but it's too dangerous
to go out there.

Gwen, don't!

(WOMAN SCREAMING)

(PANTING)

Clear the square!

Gwen!

Guinevere!

(ARTHUR GROANS)

(CHANTING)

Do not imagine
that your petty magic can harm me!

Why are you doing this?

You're killing
innocent people!

You shouldn't have
risked your life.

I wasn't going to let anything
happen to you.

(CHUCKLES)

(PANTING)

- Are you hurt?
- There's nothing I can do.

My magic is no good.
It doesn't work.

Dragons aren't monsters,
they're creatures of wonder and magic.

You must realize
that they are immune to your powers.

(EXHALES SHARPLY)

The dead number,
49 men, 27 women,

a further 18 women and children
are unaccounted for.

Most of last night's fires
are now out. The castle walls,

in particular the Western section,
are near to collapse. I could go on.

Do we have any further idea
on how the beast escaped?

I regret to say,
Sire, we don't.

UTHER: There must be some way
to rid ourselves of this aberration.

Gaius?

We need a Dragonlord, Sire.

You know very well
that is not an option.

GAIUS: Sire, what if...

There was indeed
one last Dragonlord left?

- That's not possible.
- But if there was?

What are you saying?

It may be just rumor.

- Go on.
- I'm not exactly sure,

but I think his
name is Balinor.

- Balinor.
- ARTHUR: Where does he live?

He was last seen
in Cenred's kingdom.

In the border town of Engerd.

But that was many years ago.

If this man still exists,
then it is our duty to find him.

Our treaty with Cenred
no longer holds. We are at war.

If you're discovered beyond
our border, they would kill you.

I will go alone.
That way I'll not be detected.

- No, Arthur, it's too dangerous.
- More dangerous than staying here?

I'm not standing by and watching my men
die when I have the chance to save them.

I have given you my orders.

Do not make this
a test of wills, Father.

I'm not talking to you as a father,
I'm talking to you as a King!

I will ride immediately.

- My concern is for you.
- Mine is for Camelot.

I will send word
when I have found him.

Prepare the horses.

Who were the Dragonlords?

Gaius?

There were once men who could
talk to the dragons, tame them.

What happened to them?

Uther believed that the art of
the Dragonlord was too close to magic,

so he had them all rounded up
and slaughtered.

But one survived.

- How did you know?
- I helped him escape.

Gaius! (LAUGHS)

Merlin, you've never heard
the name Balinor?

No.

Your mother
never mentioned him?

My mother?

- She took him in.
- She stood up against Uther?

- Yes. Yes.
- She was brave.

When Uther discovered
where Balinor was,

he sent knights to Ealdor
to hunt him down.

He was forced to flee.

Why didn't my mother tell me
any of this?

Merlin, I promised her I would
never speak of these things.

- Of what?
- I've always treated you as my son,

but that is not what you are.

The man you are
going to look for

is your father.

My father?

Yes.

He was a Dragonlord?

Why did no one ever tell me?

I wanted to.

Your mother feared
it would be too dangerous.

I had a right to know.

- She wanted to protect you.
- No.

I had a right to know.

Have you got
everything you need?

- I'm sorry. I didn't mean to...
- I know that.

- Come on, Merlin!
- You're ready?

No thanks to you.

- Are you okay?
- It's just a scratch.

Merlin, whatever happens, you must not
let Arthur know who this man is.

Uther would view the son of
a Dragonlord with the deepest suspicion.

This is it. One more step,
and we're in Cenred's Kingdom.

This Balinor
better be worth it.

(LAUGHING)

Greetings!

(CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY)

We're looking
for a man named Balinor.

I'm willing to pay handsomely.

Never heard of him.

You think one of these men
is Balinor?

I hope not.

So do I.

- What is wrong with you today?
- What?

It pains me to admit it,
but I do enjoy your surly retorts.

In fact, it's probably
your only redeemable feature.

Thanks.

There are loads of servants
who can serve,

but so few are capable of making
a complete prat of themselves.

- What is it?
- Nothing.

It's something. Tell me.

All right, I know I'm a prince,
so we can't be friends,

-but if I wasn't a prince.
- What?

Well, then...

I think we'd probably get on.

- So?
- So that means you can tell me.

That's true,
but if you weren't a prince,

I'd tell you to mind
your own damn business.

Merlin!

- Are you missing Gaius?
- Something like that.

Well, what is it then?

(SIGHS) I'll tell you.

I'm worried about
everyone back in Camelot.

I hope they're all right.

So do I.

Hold!

Hold!

Hold!

Now!

(BREATHING HEAVILY)

(MAN PANTING)

What's going on?

Do you know what the
punishment is for theft?

Please, I've got children to feed.

Tell me where to find Balinor.

Balinor?

- What do you know of him?
- Nothing, I...

- Do you value your life?
- It's been many years since I saw him.

Do you know where he lives?

You must travel
through the forest of Merendra,

to the foot of
Feorre mountain.

There you will find the cave
where Balinor dwells.

- But don't get your hopes up.
- Why?

He will not welcome you.
Balinor hates everyone and everything.

A cave's the best place for him.

- It's all right.
- It's the wound. Let me have a look.

Get down. Get down.

(ARTHUR BREATHING HEAVILY)

(WHISPERING) Arthur.

Arthur.

Hello?

(CHOKES)

- What do you want here, boy?
- My friend is sick. He needs help.

Show me, boy.

What are you waiting for?
Fetch him!

(CHANTING)

He needs rest.

- Will he be all right?
- By morning.

Thank you.

Looks good.

- How long have you lived here?
- A few winters.

- Must be hard.
- Why are you here?

Just traveling.

We're looking for someone.

I was told... Well, they said
that he lived somewhere here abouts.

A man named Balinor.

You've never heard of him?

- He was a Dragonlord.
- He's passed on.

- You knew him?
- Who are you?

I'm...

Merlin.

And him?

- He's my master.
- His name?

His name is Lancelot.

He's a knight,
but a nice one.

His name is Arthur Pendragon.

- He is Uther's son.
- Yes.

This is Cenred's kingdom.
He's asking for trouble.

What do you want from me?

Are you Balinor?

The Great Dragon
is attacking Camelot.

- His name is Kilgharrah.
- We can't stop him.

Only you, a Dragonlord, can.

He does not act blindly.

He kills for a reason,
vengeance.

This is of Uther's making.

He's killing innocent people.
Women and children.

Uther pursued me!

- He hunted me like an animal!
- I know.

What do you know
about anybody's life, boy?

Uther asked me to use my power to bring
the last dragon to Camelot.

He said he wanted to make peace with it,
but he did not.

He lied to me. He betrayed me.

- You want me to protect this man?
- I want you to protect Camelot.

He killed every
one of my kind,

I alone escaped.

Where did you go?

There is a place called Ealdor.

Yes.

I had a life there.

A woman.

A good woman.

Ealdor is beyond Uther's realm,
but still he pursued me.

Why would he not let me be?

What was it that I had done

that he wanted to destroy the life
I'd built, abandon the woman I loved?

He sent knights to kill me.

I was forced to
come here, to this.

So...

I understand how
Kilgharrah feels.

He's lost every one of his kind,
everyone of his kin.

You want to know
how that feels?

Look around, boy.

Let Uther die.

Let Camelot fall.

- You want everyone in Camelot to die?
- Why should I care?

- What if one of them was your son?
- I don't have a son.

- And if I told you...
- ARTHUR: Merlin.

Merlin. (COUGHING)

I feel great!

What the hell did you give me?

It was all down to Balinor.

So we've found him, then.
Thank heaven for that.

- Doesn't mean he's willing to help.
- What?

- You won't persuade him.
- Does he know what's at stake?

- What kind of a man is he?
- I don't know.

I thought he'd
be something more.

(INAUDIBLE)

Are you missing Morgana?

She's stronger
than people think.

I believe that wherever she is,
she'll be all right.

- And Arthur?
- You care a lot for him, don't you?

Everyone does.

I think he cares
the same way about you.

It's all right,
I won't tell anyone.

I know it can never be.

Well, the world's a strange place,
Guinevere.

Never underestimate
the power of love.

I've seen it
change many things.

- What did he say?
- He'll change his mind.

- He said that?
- Just give him a moment.

Farewell, then.

That's your decision?

I will not help Uther.

Then the people of Camelot
are damned!

- So be it.
- Have you no conscience?

You should ask that question
of your father.

And you are no
better than him.

Don't waste your time, Merlin.

Gaius spoke of
the nobility of Dragonlords,

clearly he was wrong.

- Gaius?
- Yes.

- A good man.
- Yeah.

- I was hoping you'd be like him.
- ARTHUR: Merlin!

- I wanted...
- ARTHUR: Merlin!

Well, there's no point.

I always thought that silence
would be a blessing with you,

but I find it
just as irritating.

You're a riddle, Merlin.

- A riddle?
- Yes.

- But I've got to quite like you.
- Yeah?

Now I realize you're not
as big a fool as you look.

Yeah. I feel the same.

Now that I realize
you're not as arrogant as you sound.

- You still think I'm arrogant?
- No.

More supercilious.

That's a big word, Merlin.

- You sure you know what it means?
- Condescending.

- Very good.
- Patronizing.

- Doesn't mean that.
- No, these are other things you are.

- Hang on.
-(TWIG SNAPS)

- Overbearing.
- Shh!

Very overbearing.

- Merlin!
- But you wanted me to talk.

(TWIGS SNAPPING)

Careful, boy.

I thought you
might need some help.

- This is dangerous country.
- Will you return to Camelot with us?

You were right, Merlin.

There are some in Camelot
who risked their lives for me.

I owe a debt
that must be repaid.

If you succeed in killing the dragon,
you will not go unrewarded.

(CHUCKLES) I seek no reward.

Great. Let's eat.

- This wood's too wet.
- Don't worry.

I'm sure we'll find a way
to make it light.

When you healed Arthur,
I heard you mumble some words.

An ancient prayer.

I thought it might have been
more than that.

The Old Religion
can teach us many things.

The Old Religion?
Is that something you were taught?

It is not something you can learn.

Either it's a part of you,
or it isn't.

(SIGHS) My father knew that,
and his father before him.

Were they also Dragonlords?

We'll need some kindling.

You mentioned...

You spoke of Ealdor.

You took refuge with a woman.

That was a long time ago.

I grew up there.

- Ealdor?
- Yes.

- I know the woman.
- Hunith?

- She's still alive?
- Yes.

She's my mother.

Then she married.

That's good.

She never married.

I'm your son.

I don't know what it is
to have a son.

Or I a father.

You must not tell Arthur.

(BLOWING)

Why did you never return?

I thought her life
would be better without me.

- Why?
- Uther wanted me dead.

If he'd found me,
he'd have killed me and your mother.

I wanted her to be safe.

We could've come with you.

What kind of life
would you have had here?

We'd have been happy.

When we've
finished in Camelot,

I will take you to Ealdor.

She won't recognize me.

I see her in you.

Yeah?

You have her kindness.

How did you
become a Dragonlord?

You don't choose
to become a Dragonlord.

It's not something you're taught.
It's a sacred gift.

For thousands of years it's been
handed down from father to son.

And that is what
you must now become, Merlin.

I would like that.

Like all Dragonlords, you won't know
for sure that you have that power

until you face
your first dragon.

You should get some sleep.

We've a big day ahead of us.

Good night, Son.

Sleep well, Father.

- Mmm!
- Cenred's men!

(SOLDIERS SCREAMING)

(GROANS)

(SCREAMS)

(PANTING) Here!

(STRUGGLING) I see you have
your father's talent.

- Merlin...
- Please! No. Please.

- I can save you.
- Listen to me.

When you face the dragon,
remember, be strong.

A dragon's heart
is on its right side, not its left.

-(CRYING) I can't do it alone.
- Listen to me.

You are my son.

I've seen enough in you
to know you will make me proud.

No. Father...

No.

No!

No!

(PANTING)

Camelot is doomed.

(INAUDIBLE)

I'm sorry,
Father, I have failed you.

The last Dragonlord is dead.

There were many years when
I might've wished for that news.

All is not lost, Father.

We have to
fight the monster ourselves.

So let us ride out
and fight on our own terms.

On open ground, on horseback,

where we can maneuver better.

- There is no point.
- So what?

We stand here and
watch Camelot fall?

You have my blessing.

I need a dozen knights.

Those who do
not wish to fight, can do so

without stain on
their character.

For those brave
enough to volunteer should know,

that the chances of returning
are slim.

Merlin, what happened?

I couldn't save him.

Merlin.

He said the Dragonlord's gift
is passed from father to son.

That is true.

(SNIFFLES) When I
faced the Great Dragon,

my magic was useless.

Your father wasn't dead.

It's only then
you can inherit his powers.

Do you think I'm strong enough
to stand up to him?

Only time will tell.

Look on the bright side, Merlin.

Chances are you're not gonna
have to clean this again.

You must be careful today.

Do not force the battle.

- Yes, Sire.
- I'm serious.

I can hear that.

- Let matters take their course.
- Merlin, if I die. Please...

What?

The Dragonlord today.

I saw you.

One thing I tell
all my young knights,

-no man is worth your tears.
- Yeah.

You're certainly not.

- What are you doing?
- I'm coming with you.

Merlin, the chances are
I'm going to die.

Yeah, you probably would
if I wasn't there.

(CHUCKLES) Right!

Do you know how many times
I've had to save your royal backside?

At least you've got your
sense of humor back.

Are you really going to face
this dragon with me?

I'm not going to
sit here and watch.

I know it's hard for you
to understand how I feel but...

But I care a hell of lot about that
armor. I'm not gonna let you mess it up.

(BOTH LAUGH)

(HORSE NEIGHING)

(WINGS FLAPPING)

(HORSE NEIGHING)

Hold firm.

Hold!

Hold!

Hold!

Now!

No. Stop!

(BOTH PANTING)

(ROARING)

(PANTING)

BALINOR: You're the last Dragonlord now.

You alone carry
the ancient gift.

Deep within yourself,
you must find the voice

that you and Kilgharrah share,

for your soul and
his are brothers.

When you speak to him as kin,

he must obey your will.

(ROARS)

(SPEAKING DRAGON LANGUAGE)

DRAGON: I am the last
in my kind, Merlin.

Whatever wrongs I have done,

do not make me responsible

for the death of
my noble breed.

(ROARS)

Go! Leave!

If you ever attack Camelot again,
I will kill you.

I have shown you mercy,

now you must do
the same to others.

Young warlock,

what you have shown
is what you will be.

I will not forget your clemency.

I'm sure our paths
will cross again.

What happened?

You dealt him a mortal blow.

- He's gone?
- Yeah.

You did it. (LAUGHS)

(LAUGHING)

You did it.

I thought I'd lost you.

My boy.

I felt him there with me, Gaius.

He'll always be with you.

I hope so.

Merlin, I know I can never compare
with your father,

but for what it's worth,
you've still got me.

Well... (CHUCKLES)

I suppose I'll just have
to make do.

(LAUGHING)

DRAGON: Merlin.
