Great dragon:
In a land of myth and a time of magic...

The destiny of a great kingdom
rests on the shoulders of a young man.

His name: Merlin.

[Merlin sneezes]

Merlin:
You're still angry with me, aren't you?

We spend the entire day hunting,
catch nothing...

Because every time we got
anywhere near anything...

You sneezed and frightened it away.

- Not the last time.
- No, that time you fell into a stream.

No one could accuse you
of being predictable, Merlin.

- I think I'm getting a cold.
- Let's hope it's a bad one.

[Woman screams n earby]

- What was that?
- I think it was a bird.

[Woman screams]

That? That was definitely
a woman screaming.

Why couldn't it have just been a bird?

Neverjust a bird.

[Screaming and wailing continues]

What are you doing?

Well, I assume you want
to risk our lives and see what's going on.

I never thought I'd say this, Merlin,
but you're learning.

Arthur: Let the woman go.

Man:
This woman has been sentenced to death.

It does not concern you.

I am Arthur pendragon, king of Camelot,
and your village is in my lands.

Her sorcery has brought sickness
and suffering to this village.

Did she receive a fair trial?

Your father would have shown her no mercy.

I am not my father. Now cut her down.

I will not endanger the lives
of all who live here.

I said...

Cut her down.

[Branch snaps]

- Arthur: Is there anything more you can do?
- She won't make it through the night.

Make her as comfortable as possible.

Thank you.

You should try and get some rest.

My time has come.

When you have lived as long as I...

You no longer fear the journey
to the next world.

A gift for you.

Show it kindness and compassion.

Those are the qualities of a true king.

Open it.

Arthur: It's beautiful.

It has the power to summon
the spirits of the dead.

[Gasping]

Gaius: The horn of cathbad.

When uther attacked
the isle of the blessed...

The horn of cathbad
was smuggled to safety...

Before the temple fell.

It hasn't been heard of since.

The old woman said it could be used
to open a door to the spirit world.

I have seen it with my own eyes.

Long before the time of the great purge,
I took part in such ceremonies.

Each year at beltane, the high priestesses
would gather at the great stones of nemeton...

And summon the
spirits of their ancestors.

It holds powerful magic.

You must keep it safe.

[Chattering and laughing]

[Band playing jovial music]

He's always like this
at the anniversary of his coronation.

I thought it was a cause for celebration.

[Sighs]

But it's also the
anniversary of uther's death.

[Knock on door]

- Merlin: What are you doing?
- Nothing.

Thinking.

You thinking?
Well, now I'm really getting worried.

Shut up.

-Leave it. —why?

Because I'm telling you to
and I'm the king of Camelot.

[Chuckles]

Not that that seems to
mean anything to you.

Ready the horses and gather some supplies.

- Uh, where are we going?
- You don't need to know.

Do not breathe a word of this to anyone.

Not even Guinevere.

You're threatening me with a spoon?

-[Slap] Merlin: Ow!

I'm getting a very bad feeling
about this place.

That is because you are a coward.

No, it's because I value my life
and I don't want to die horribly.

- Fair point.
- So are we going to turn back?

What are they?

The great stones of nemeton.

- You're going to use it?
- This'll be the only chance...

I'll have to see my father again.
I can't let it pass.

This is powerful magic.

My father was taken from me
before his time.

Now, there isn't a day that passes
when I don't think of the things...

If you were given the same chance
to see your father...

Talk to him...

Wouldn't you do the same?

[Blares]

[Wind howling]

I thought I'd never see you again.

There isn't a day that passes
when I don't think of you.

And I you.

There are times when I feel so alone...

I wish more than anything
that you were by my side.

If I were at your side, I fear you
would not like all that I have to say.

- What do you mean?
- Many of the decisions you've made...

Since you've become king
go against all that I taught you.

I have done what I
have believed to be right.

You have ignored our tradition,
our ancient lores.

You have allowed common men
to become knights.

And they are some of the finest knights
that Camelot's ever known.

They would gladly give their lives
for the kingdom.

They question your decisions.

They make you look weak.

Listening to others is a sign of strength,
not weakness.

How do you expect anyone to fear a king
who does not know his own mind?

I don't want my people to respect me
because they fear me.

Then they will not respect you at all.

Your marriage should have served
to form an alliance with another kingdom.

You choose to marry a serving girl.

I married for love.

I love Guinevere...

More than I can express.

There are some things
that are more important than love.

It is your duty to strengthen
and protect the kingdom.

You have failed.

I've always strived to make you proud.

How can I be proud of a son who ignores
everything that I taught him...

Who is destroying my legacy?

- I've brought peace to the kingdom.
- At what price?

The peace cannot last.

If you are not strong,
the kingdom will fall.

You must go now.

I need more time.

There's still so much I wish to say.

If you stay, you will be forever trapped
in the world of the dead.

You must go now.

Can't be the last
time I'll ever see you.

Think about everything
that I have said to you.

It isn't too late.

Now go.

I will always love you, Arthur.

Do you want to talk about it?

What happened at the stones?

It seems my father doesn't approve
of the way I've chosen to rule his kingdom.

You mean your kingdom.

The things he said about the knights,
about marrying Guinevere.

What if he's right? What if I have...

Weakened Camelot?

No. Do you really believe that?

You've always done
what you believe to be right.

People respect you.

Thank you, Merlin.

Some people still think
you're a foolish arrogant ass.

Who?

Very funny.

We should get some sleep.

We covered the area
from paulet down to meldreth.

This includes 30 troops at bawtry...

15 at tallen, 10 at chime...

Nine at broom...

[Loud thudding]

11 at bowell.

I want the table repaired before
the next council meeting.

Are you listening to me, Merlin?

What? Sorry, I was just thinking
about what happened.

Did you get a terrible fright?

Yes, my heart nearly jumped out
through my mouth.

Well, maybe you should have the
rest of the day off and put your feet up.

Really?

You were joking.

There really is no limit
to your intelligence, is there, Merlin?

[Wind whistles]

[Crackling]

Arthur: Merlin.

[Thunder crashing]

Why does it always take you
twice as long to change out of your armor?

Because I'm twice the
size of you, little man.

Then why is it that your brain is so small?

[Door closes]

[Wind whistles] [Wood clatters]

[Rattling]

Hello?

Someone there?

Show yourself.

[Wind whistles]

[Yells]

The ax must've fallen off the rack.

I'm surprised that a falling ax
would cause such a deep wound.

Percival:
Not surprised as I was.

Quite. You're lucky you weren't
more severely injured.

Strange.

What's that?

Just before it happened,
I sensed something...

Like there was someone
there watching me.

I'm sure it was just my mind
playing tricks on me.

Gaius: Apply a second poultice
in the morning and no training.

Thank you, Gaius.

[Wind whistles]

Is there something wrong, Merlin?

Merlin, I get the distinct impression
there's something you're not telling me.

No. Why would you say that?

Because there usually is.

We went to the stones of nemeton.

- Merlin, I warned you of the dangers.
- I tried to stop him.

He was insistent.

What is it, Merlin?

After the candelabra fell...

I was in the corridor
outside the council chambers.

I could sense something.
It was like percival said...

A presence of some kind.

In the days of the old religion...

The priestesses trained for years
before entering into the spirit world.

It was fraught with dangers.

There was one thing they were schooled
never to do.

As the veil closed, they were never
to look back at the spirit.

What happened if they did?

They'd release the spirit into this world.

Arthur must have looked back.

- What?
- Merlin: At the stones of nemeton...

I think that you may have released
your father's spirit.

And what makes you think that?

Did you look back?

As the veil closed,
did you look back at your father?

I may have glanced around for a second.

In that second...

You unleashed uther's spirit.

All these strange things
that have been happening:

- Candelabra falling onto the round table...
- Yes, because the chain broke.

- The ax falling on percival?
- Was an accident.

Was it?

Do you really expect me to believe
that my father's spirit...

Is responsible for these things?

The round table represents everything
that's changed since you became king.

You told me how uther disapproved.

He's angry with you,
and that makes him dangerous.

I know my father.
He wouldn't do these things.

I think he'd do anything
to protect his legacy.

- Who knows what he's capable of?
- Enough. That's enough.

Leave me.

[Door closes]

[Wind whistling]

[Thud nearby]

Is someone there?

[Window banging]

[Banging continues]

[Banging stops]

[Shrieks]

[Screaming]

[Grunts]

[Gasps]

[Shrieks]

[Panting]

[Shrieking]

[Uncants]

[Coughing]

Gwen!

Gwen.

Merlin: You know this was uther.
Arthur: We don't know what happened.

So Gwen just mysteriously ended up
locked in the kitchen...

Which just mysteriously caught fire?

[Thunder rumbling]

You said yourself uther disapproved
of you marrying Gwen.

- He wouldn't do this.
- I know how hard this is for you.

Gaius, how is she?

Smoke has entered her lungs,
but with time, she'll heal.

I've given her a sleeping draft.

She was lucky to escape with her life.

I've always known my father could be cruel,
but why would he do this to Guinevere?

He knows how much I love her.

Gaius.

What do you know about ghosts?

Gaius: We must force uther's spirit
to return to the other world...

Before he does any more harm.

[Bubbles and sizzles]

You must use the horn of cathbad
to re-open the veil between the worlds.

But you must remember one thing:

Only the person who summoned the spirit
can force it from this world.

[Loud clattering]

Sorry.

Well, you're fortunate
I'm not easily frightened.

Really? Because it looked like
you jumped out of your skin.

Yeah, that's because you're a clumsy oaf.
Now pick that lot up.

Where is Gaius?
How long does it take to make a potion?

These things take time,
if they're to be done properly.

[Door rattles]

What is it?

[Whispers]
I heard something behind the door.

You're imagining things, Merlin.

[Door rattling]

[Whispers] What do we do?

[Sighs]

[Merlin gasps] [Rat squeaking]

[Sighs]

There's your ghost, Merlin.

[Both gasp]

The potion will allow you
to see uther in his spirit form.

Once you're in his presence,
you must blow the horn.

It's the only way you can force him
to go back to the spirit world.

Is it safe?

I can't say I'm entirely sure.

- What are you waiting for?
- To see if it's safe.

So if I don't die, you'll take yours?

Precisely.

Get on with it.

Well, at least we know
it doesn't kill you instantly.

[Arthur groans]

That—— oh.

That is the foulest thing I've ever tasted.

Sorry, did I forget to
tell you about that part?

[Coughing]

Merlin: There.

Where?

Oh. It's just our shadows.

[Wind whistles]

[Footsteps approaching]

Both: Leon.

- Is everything all right, my lord?
- It's perfectly fine.

We're...

Merlin, tell Leon what we're doing.

We're...

I'm teaching him some poetry.

Poetry?

I love poetry.

[Merlin chuckles]

I was as surprised as you are.
He can't get enough of it.

I'll leave you to your
poetry then, my lord.

Poetry? That's the best
you could come up with?

- Oh, what did you want me to say?
- I don't know.

Something that didn't make me
sound like a love-struck girl.

- What was that?
- It was my father.

Never thought the day would come
when I'd be hunting my own father.

When I became king, more than anything,
I wanted to make him proud.

What is it?

You've always done
what you believe to be right...

Even if you knew your father
would disapprove of it.

Do you not see how different
you are to him?

Camelot's a better place
since you became king.

Father clearly doesn't think so.

The people believe in you, Arthur.

That counts for nothing
if you don't believe in yourself.

[Wind whistles]

[Thud]

[Glass shatters]

Check the storeroom.

[Thud]

[Liquid splashing]

[Wood creaking]

[Wind whistling]

[Wind howls]

[Footsteps approaching]

[Whispering] Merlin.

Merlin, is that you?

[In normal voice] Father?

[Door creaking]

[Door slams]

[Wind whistles]

I know it's you, father.

- Why are you doing this?
- I did not spend my entire life...

Building this kingdom
to see my own son destroy it.

- You tried to kill Guinevere.
- For your own good.

How can a serving girl
understand what it means to queen?

Guinevere is wise and strong,
and I trust her more than anyone.

And that is your weakness.

You put too much trust in other people.

You and you alone must rule Camelot.

I would rather not rule
at all than rule alone.

Your whole life, I tried to prepare you
for the day you would become king.

Did you learn nothing?

I watched you rule.

I learned that if you trust no one,
you'll always live in fear.

Your hatred came from fear, not strength.

How dare you?

I loved and respected you...

But I have to rule the kingdom
in my own way.

I have to do what I believe to be right.

I will not allow you to
destroy all that I built.

Then you'll have to kill me.

I'm not you, father.

I can't rule the way you did.

Camelot must come before all else.

Even you.

Merlin:
Get away from him, uther.

You've caused enough harm.

You don't belong here.

You must return to the other world.

This is my kingdom.

You think you can drive me from it?
You are nothing but a serving boy.

I'm much more than that.

You have magic.

I was born with it.

I made you Arthur's servant.

- You are a sorcerer.
- Even while you were king...

There was magic at the heart of Camelot.

I will not allow you and your kind
to poison my kingdom!

You're wrong. You're wrong.

About so much.

Arthur is a better and more worthy king
than you ever were.

[Roars]

[Wind whistling]

[Rustling]

[Uncants]

[Clanging and rattling nearby]

[Wind whistles]

[Gasps]

[Footsteps approaching]

It will give me great pleasure killing you.

No. Please.

Whatever I've done, I've done for Camelot.

You've had your turn.

Now it's mine.

Merlin has...

[Horn blares] [Uther yells]

[Exhales]

[Bell tolling]

Arthur:
I've always looked up to my father.

I admired and respected him
more than anyone.

I have to accept that I can't please him,
be true to myself.

Uther did what he thought he had to do
to protect the kingdom.

It doesn't mean he was right.

I want to build a kingdom
that's fair and just.

One where everyone's respected,
regardless of rank.

Does that include me?

Of course.

Does that mean that you're not
going to hit me anymore?

- When do I ever hit you?
- All the time.

That's not hitting, Merlin. That's...

Merely friendly slaps.

- It's horseplay.
- So can I give you a friendly slap?

You can certainly try.

What the hell was that?

It was, um...

Horseplay.

No, Merlin.

You're doing it all wrong.

Why don't I show you?

[Announcer reads on-screen text]

Princess mithian!

I have no one else to
turn to but you, Arthur.

[Uncants]

You kill me and you'll have
all of Camelot to answer to.
