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.

Arthur Pendragon,
a great destiny awaits you.

The battle for your soul
is about to begin.

Arise Sir Vidor,

Knight of Camelot.

Arise Sir Caridoc,

Knight of Camelot.

You've been accorded a great honor.

With that honor,
comes great responsibility.

From this day forth, you are sworn
to live by the Knight's code.

You have pledged
to conduct yourselves with nobility.

Honor and respect.

Your word is your sacred bond.

You will find no one who better
embodies these values,

than my son,

Arthur.

Follow his example,
and you'll prove yourselves,

worthy of your title.

I accept your challenge.

If I'm to face you in combat, do me
the courtesy of revealing your identity.

My name is Morgause.

I've searched the records
going back more than 300 years.

I could find nothing to say that a woman
cannot issue a challenge.

There must be some way to
put a stop to this.

According to the Knight's Rules,

it appears her challenge
is perfectly valid.

-It seems there's nothing we can do.
-We don't know anything about her.

-I will not have you fight her.
-I accepted the challenge.

If refuse to fight,
it'll be seen as an act of cowardice.

She killed five guards.

You should not underestimate her.

I cannot demand that my knights uphold
the code and then break it myself.

I must face her tomorrow.

Who is she?

Why would she challenge Arthur?

Seems no one's ever heard of her.

I feel as I've met her somewhere before.

Really?

Where could you know her from?

I don't know.

Do you know why she challenged you?

I'm the King's son.

Perhaps she believed
she will prove herself.

But you don't want to fight her, do you?

I have no choice.

If I refuse to fight her, I'm a coward.

If I kill her, what am I then?

What is it?

You've never faced a woman in combat.

What if you hesitate,
she can you that to her advantage.

You think she's going to defeat me?

I'm just saying you need to be...

Cautious because it sounds like
she's pretty handy with a sword.

Since when do you know
anything about combat?

I need you to take
a message to Morgause for me.

If I'm seen to do it,
it could be viewed as cowardice.

You must persuade her,

to withdraw her challenge.

What do you want?

I have a message from Prince Arthur.

He wants you to withdraw your challenge.

Arthur has no desire to fight you.

If you withdraw,

he'll grant you safe passage
from the kingdom.

Leave now, while you still can.

If Arthur has no desire to fight me,
perhaps he should withdraw.

No. He'll never do that.
It's not in him to withdraw.

Then we have that in common.

If you fight him,

he will have to treat you as he does,

any other opponent.

It won't matter that you're a woman.

I do not ask for special treatment.

Arthur has no quarrel with you.

Why would you challenge him?

My reasons are not your concern.

Don't put Arthur in a position
where he's forced to kill you.

Who's to say Arthur's life
won't rest in my hands?

You gave her a chance to withdraw.

Whatever happens, you are not to blame.

The fight is by the Knight's Rules,

and to the death.

I'm offering you
a final chance to withdraw.

I suggest you take it.

Then you leave me no choice.

Make me a promise,
and I will spare your life.

What is it you ask?

Come to me three days hence,

and accept the challenge I set you.

And the nature of this challenge?

That is for me to decide.

Do I have your word that
you will accept, no matter what?

You have my word.

You were fortunate.
The wound isn't too deep.

You seem familiar.

Have you visited Camelot in the past?

I was here many years ago.

I was just a baby at the time.

I doubt you'd remember me.

I'm grateful for your help.

It could've been worse.

How, exactly, could it have been worse?

You could be dead.

At least I wouldn't
have to face everyone.

I've never felt so humiliated,

in my entire life.

I was defeated by...

A girl.

It's actually quite funny
when you think about it.

Or not.

No.

It's like you said.

I was hindered because

I was fighting a woman.

I was worried I was going to hurt her.

That's why she won.

You didn't look hindered.

I'll stop talking now.

I didn't mean to intrude.

I wanted to introduce myself.
I am the Lady Morgana

I know who you are.

How is your arm? You were wounded.

It'll heal soon enough.

You look tired.

I haven't been sleeping.

I know for myself how
troubling that can be.

Could it be that we have met
somewhere before?

I am glad we have met now.

That's a beautiful bracelet.

It was a gift,

from my mother.

Please. I would like you to have it.

It's a healing bracelet,
it will help you sleep.

I couldn't.

You must be tired.
I will leave you to rest.

I hope you will remember me fondly.

Congratulations on your victory.

You're a skillful swordsman.

Woman. Swords...

Swordswoman.

You have a beautiful horse.

I shall expect to see you
three days hence.

How will I find you?

When the time comes,
you will know your way.

If I don't show up, it might be because
I don't know where I'm going.

The path you must follow
will become clear to you.

I should thank you for allowing me
to retrieve my sword.

I'm starting to wish I hadn't.

You showed that yourself
to be a man of honor.

You inherited that
trait from your mother.

You knew my mother?

I knew her very well.

Wait!

Morgana?

Morgana?

-Morgana?
-Mmm.

I was fast asleep.

It's nearly midday.

I can't remember
the last time I slept so well.

I'll fetch you some clothes.

What is to be the nature
of this challenge?

She didn't say.

But I gave her my word
that I would accept it, no matter what.

You should never
have made such a promise.

You have no idea what
she might ask of you.

She had her sword to my chest.

I had no choice.

Morgause said that she knew my mother.

She told you this?

Obviously she's lying.

She's playing on your affections
for your mother,

to lure you into a trap.

That makes no sense. She spared my life.

Confirms my suspicions.

I believe Morgause is an enchantress.

How else could she have defeated you?

I don't believe she was using magic.

And you would know for certain
if she were?

Under no circumstances
will you go to meet her,

or accept this challenge.

I gave her my word...

I don't care what was said to her.

You will remain in Camelot.

I want to hear what she knows
about my mother.

She knows nothing. She is lying.

You will not go to her. I forbid it.

So, I am to break my word.

Escort my son to his chambers.

Under no circumstances
will he be allowed to leave.

You're confining me to my chambers?

I'm protecting you
from your own foolishness!

Why are there guards outside the door?

My father has
confined me to my chambers,

and has forbidden me

from accepting Morgause's challenge.

Well, maybe he's got a point.

You don't know what she might've
asked you to do.

I gave her my word.

So, I take it we're going anyway?

You're smarter than you look.

Gather some supplies. We leave tonight.

Oh, and Merlin,
find a way to get me out of here.

How's Arthur?

You mean after being defeated by a girl
in front of the whole of Camelot?

I've seen him happier.

I think you're enjoying this, Merlin.

Maybe a little.

I got the supplies.

Merlin, is it my imagination
or are you getting fat?

Are you sure you're strong enough
to hold me?

Yeah. I'm stronger than I look.

What are you doing?

Lower the rope.

There is no more rope!

I don't know if I can hold it
much longer.

Merlin.

Do not let go of the rope.

Which way?

Do you actually know where we're going?

It's this way.

Come on.

What is wrong with this horse?

It's even dumber than you, Merlin.

Where are you going?
I thought you said it was left.

It's not me. It's the horse!

Morgause told me,

"When the time comes,

"you'll know your way."

So the horse knows where we're going.
Great.

Come on, Merlin.

Merlin?

You've been guarding an empty room.

Send out a search party.

Find Arthur and bring
him back to Camelot.

Do you have any idea
what Morgause might want with Arthur?

I'm afraid I don't.

What if Morgause challenges you
to do something you don't want to do?

I'm not expecting it to be easy, Merlin.

That's why it's called a challenge.

So you'd do anything she asks of you?

I gave her my word.
It's a question of honor.

What if she challenges you

to do something even less honorable
than breaking your word?

Will you stop rabbiting on?

We're in Odin's territory.
We could be attacked at any second.

I just think it's strange to agree
to do something

when you don't know what it is.

One more word out of you, Merlin,

and you'll be taking
the challenge in my place.

Don't worry, Merlin.

I'll deal with this.

You lie there,
make yourself comfortable.

Maybe we should turn back.

The woods could be full of Odin's men.

You can go back if you want to.
I won't stop you.

You don't know anything about Morgause!

You don't know what she's
going to ask you to do!

We don't even know where we're going.
We're following a horse.

Morgause said she knew my mother.

Gaius. Come in.

Hello, my dear.
I've brought you your sleeping draft.

I could've saved you the trouble.

I've had the best night's sleep
I can remember.

No nightmares?

I can't tell you what a relief it is.

I only wish I could
thank Morgause for her gift.

Morgause gave you that bracelet?

She told me it would help me sleep.

She spoke the truth.

Gaius, what is it?

Nothing.

I am merely surprised
that it's so effective.

I feel as if I somehow know Morgause.

I don't see how,

but I am pleased you're feeling better.

What was your mother like?

I never knew her.

She died before I opened my eyes.

I'm sorry.

I barely know anything about her.

Can't you ask your father?

He refuses to talk of her.

It must be too painful for him.

Sometimes it's as if
she never even existed.

I still have a sense of her,

almost as though she's part of me.

That's the same with my father.
I never knew him.

And my mother has barely spoken of him.

I've got this vague memory.

It's probably just my imagination.

I'd do anything for
even the vaguest memory.

Is that why you're so determined
to find Morgause?

To see what she knows about your mother?

Is that so wrong?

No.

We should get some rest.

My Lord, I must speak with you.

It concerns Morgause.

What is it?

While I was treating her wound,
I noticed...

That she wore a bracelet.

Go on.

It bore the mark of one of the Great
Houses, the Great House of Gorlois.

There's only one person

other than Morgana, who would have cause
to wear such a bracelet.

That is her half-sister.

I was lead to believe
that the child had died.

The child lived, my Lord.

She was smuggled out of Camelot
after her birth.

How do you know this?

It was I who entrusted the child to the
high priestesses of the old religion.

You should've told me, Gaius.

I had sworn a solemn oath, my Lord.

I'm only breaking it now,

because I fear what Morgause might do.

Does Morgana know?

I don't believe so.

Morgana must never find out
she has a half-sister.

I will not have her loyalties divided.

Of course.

The high priestesses will have trained,

Morgause from birth.

Her magic will be powerful.

Then we must hope the search party
finds Arthur before he reaches her.

Seems your horse
has brought us to a dead end.

Now where's he going?

I think you're going to get wet.

You don't say.

Arthur?

Where are we?

I don't know.

If we weren't sure
Morgause was a sorcerer before,

we can be certain of it now.

That must've been how she defeated me.

She was using magic.

Hmm.

It didn't look like she was.

And what would you know
about magic, Merlin?

Nothing.

Now what?

Maybe we should ask the horse.

There's no one here.

You kept your promise.

What's the nature of the challenge
you wish to set me?

Place your head on the block.

You gave me your word
that you'd do anything I asked.

Arthur, don't.

What're you doing?

I won't let you do this!

Stay out of this, Merlin.

You've shown that you are truly
a man of your word, Arthur Pendragon.

And for that, I will grant you one wish.

Tell me what it is that
your heart most desires.

You said you knew my mother.

Tell me all that you know about her.

Perhaps you would like to see her.

I want that more than anything.

As you wish.

The search party
were unable to pick up a trail.

There's no sign of
Prince Arthur anywhere.

Re-double your efforts.
Send riders to the outlying villages.

I want my son found!

Yes, my Lord.

It chills me to think
what Morgause has planned for Arthur.

Had she chosen to,
she already could've killed him.

I believe she has some
other purpose in mind.

Morgause told Arthur
that she knew his mother.

She knew Ygraine?

I don't know!

Perhaps it's a lie.

She knew that it would
tempt Arthur to go to her.

You think that Morgause knows the
true circumstances of Arthur's birth?

I fear that more than anything.

Are you sure you want to do this?

If you were granted
the same opportunity,

would you not want to meet your father?

Uther won't forgive you if he finds out
you've collaborated with a sorcerer.

What if my father's attitude
to magic is wrong?

You really think that?

Perhaps it's not as simple
as he would have us believe.

Morgause is a sorceress,
she has caused us no harm.

Surely not everyone,

who practices magic can be evil?

We don't actually know
why she's doing this.

It is time.

Close your eyes.

Arthur.

Arthur.

Mother.

My son.

When I last held you,
you were a tiny baby.

I remember your eyes.

You were staring up at me.

Those few seconds I held you
were the most precious of my life.

I'm so sorry.

You have nothing to be sorry for.

It was my birth that caused you to die.

No, you are not to blame.

I cannot bear that thought
that you died because of me.

Do not think that.

It is your father who should
carry the guilt for what happened.

What do you mean?

It is not important.
What matters is that you lived.

Why should my father feel guilty?

It is better left in the past.

You cannot leave me with more questions.

Please.

Your father.

He was desperate for an heir.

Without a son, the Pendragon dynasty
would come to an end.

But I could not conceive.

Then how was I born?

Tell me.

Your father betrayed me.

He went to the sorceress, Nimueh,

and asked for her help in conceiving
a child.

You were born of magic.

That's not true.

I'm sorry, Arthur.

Your father has deceived you,

as he deceived me.

To create a life, a life must be taken.

Your father knew that.

No.

He sacrificed my life,

so the Pendragon dynasty could continue.

It makes you no less my son,

nor me any less proud of you.

Now I see you,
I would have given my life willingly.

Do not let this knowledge change you.

No!

Bring her back!

I cannot.

Once the doorway is closed,

it is closed forever.

I am truly sorry that you learned of
your mother's fate in this way.

I can only imagine how it must feel

to discover your father
is responsible for her death.

It is an unforgivable betrayal.

Are you all right?

Arthur?

Fetch the horses.

We're returning to Camelot.

What are you going to do?

Merlin.

I'm relieved to see you're safe.

Where's Arthur?

Arthur was born of magic.

Wasn't he?

Uther used magic.

Merlin.

All those people he's executed.

He's as guilty as they are.

He sacrificed Arthur's mother.

He as good as murdered her.

People should know
the truth about what he's done.

How could you not tell me?

I feared what Arthur would do
if he ever found out.

He's found out now.

Arthur.

Where have you been?

I have had search
parties out looking for you.

Arthur?

I know what you did to my mother.

Leave us.

No one is to enter.

What're you talking about?

You were so desperate for an heir,

you were prepared to use magic.

Did Morgause tell you this? She's lying.

My mother is dead,

because of your selfishness
and arrogance.

Her blood is on your hands.

No, that's not true.

But Morgause would
have you believe that.

This is what fuels your hatred
for those who practice magic.

Rather than blame yourself for
what you did, you blame them.

You would believe a sorcerer's lies
over the word of your own father?

I can only think that
Morgause has enchanted you.

You've hunted her kind like animals.

How many hundreds have you
condemned to death to ease your guilt?

Those who practice magic
will stop at nothing to destroy us.

I have only done what is necessary
to protect this kingdom.

You speak of honor and nobility!

You're nothing but a hypocrite,

and a liar.

I am your king and your father
and you will show me some respect!

Have you lost your mind?

Pick it up.

Arthur, I implore you.
Think about what you're doing.

Pick it up.

I will not fight you.

If you choose not to defend yourself,

I will strike you down where you stand.

You're my son.

You will not strike an unarmed man.

I no longer think of myself as your son.

Then strike me down.

I don't want to fight you.

Arthur, stop this.

The King has forbidden anyone to enter.

They're going to kill each other!

Arthur! Don't!

I know you don't want to do this.

My mother is dead because of him.

Killing your father
won't bring her back.

You've lost one parent,
do you really want to lose another?

Listen to him, Arthur.

Arthur, please.

Put the sword down.

You heard what my mother said.

After everything he has done,

do you believe he deserves to live?

He executes those who use magic,
and yet he has used it himself.

You have caused
so much suffering and pain.

I will put an end to that.

Morgause is lying.

She's an enchantress.

She tricked you.

That was not your mother you saw.
That was an illusion.

Everything,

everything your mother said to you,

those were Morgause's words.

You don't know that...

This has been her plan all along,

to turn you against your father.

And if you kill him,

the kingdom will be destroyed.

This is what she wants.

Listen to him. He's speaking the truth.

Swear to me that it isn't true.

You are not responsible
for my mother's death.

Give me your word!

I swear on my life. I loved your mother.

There isn't a day passes that
I don't wish that she was still alive.

I could never have
done anything to hurt her.

My son.

You mean more to me than anything.

I'm sorry.

You are not to blame.

I'm indebted to you, Merlin.

I had become confused.

It is once again clear to me
that those who practice magic

are evil and dangerous.

And that is thanks to you.

Glad I could help.

My Lord.

I wanted to thank you in person
for your actions yesterday.

You are a loyal servant to Arthur.

I am most grateful.

I was just doing my duty.

You've proven yourself
to be a trusted ally,

in the fight against magic.

Me?

Those who practice magic,

will seek to exploit
Arthur's inexperience.

They will attempt to corrupt him.

You must be extra vigilant.

I'll keep my eyes peeled.

I know you will.

If you ever speak

of what happened
between myself and Arthur

to another living soul,
I will have you hanged.

Right. Of course.

Yes, my Lord.

Is that Uther I saw just leaving?

Yeah.

He just popped in to say "Hello".

Merlin, what did he want?

He wanted to thank me
for being a trusted ally

in the fight against magic.

How you've managed to keep
that head on your shoulders

is a mystery beyond our greatest minds.

Uther should be grateful.

Your life would've been easier
and safer if you had let him die.

You must have been tempted.

Maybe for a moment,

but Arthur wouldn't have
been able to forgive himself

if he'd gone through with it...

It would've destroyed him.

I'm proud of you, Merlin.

Arthur's thanking me,
Uther's grateful, you're proud.

I've never been this popular.

I'm almost certain it won't last.

Just let me enjoy the moment.

Merlin.

She's fallen prey
to a bounty hunter.

Do you know how much money
she's worth to me?

Why did you do that?

-What?
-Help me.

I've never known anyone like you.

The girl is dangerous.

An informer told me she was cursed.

-Freya!
-No!
