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.

Morgana.

You don't know how much I regret
everything that I've done.

The mandrake pierces
the very recesses of the soul,

twisting the unconscious to the very
image of fear and dread.

Camelot is weaker
than it's been for years.

An assault of Camelot
cannot be undertaken lightly.

You forget,
we have an ally in the court.

So you believe we have a traitor
in Camelot.

- Merlin suspects me.
- Well, then we must stop him.

When Cenred marches on Camelot,
he will find a kingdom without a leader.

- I didn't think you'd answer my call.
- Merlin.

I could not resist a dragon lord.

Even if I wanted to.

I'm grateful. Thank you.

Lie still.

- My hat.
- The Serket's poison is powerful.

I have given you an enchantment
that will help you heal.

But it will take time.

- Where is that half-wit?
- Merlin?

I've got no socks, no breeches,
and an archery session to go to. Merlin!

I thought he was with you, sire.

Don't try and cover for him.

He didn't come home last night.
I can't find him.

When you do, you can tell him,
he's the target.

You shouldn't have let me sleep.

I had no choice, young warlock.

The venom was too strong.
Even for your great powers.

I don't have time.
I need to get back to Camelot.

The kingdom is in danger.

And it was my fault.

I should've listened to you.

- I should never have trusted Morgana.
- You did what you felt was right.

And that shows great courage.

But trust,

is a double-edged sword.

I thought, if she has magic, I thought,

- we were the same.
- In some ways you are.

No.

I'll never be like her.

You have learnt
an important lesson, Merlin.

Your determination to see
goodness in people,

will be your undoing.

But I fear that your futures

are now joined forever.

She is the darkness to your light.

The hatred to your love.

I need to get back to Camelot.

You're not yet fully recovered, Merlin,
and it's more than three days' walk.

I've no intention of walking.

- This is as far as I go.
- Thank you.

- I won't forget this.
- Be careful, young warlock.

The great battle for Camelot has begun.
You must be strong.

For Arthur's destiny
and the future of Albion

lie in your hands.

- You need to wake up.
- Merlin?

- Where've you been?
- I don't have time to explain.

Are you all right?

Morgana is in league with Morgause.
She's plotting against Uther.

What?

She's responsible for his visions.
Come on, hurry up.

There's something I need to show you.

Uther?

Uther?

Please!

It was an enchantment, sire.

You need to rest.

Please drink this, sire.

It will help you to sleep.

We must tell Uther
what Morgana has done.

Are you mad?

He'd have both our heads if we made such
accusations. He'd look on it as treason.

We can't just let her get away with it.

He dotes on her every word, Merlin.

If he knew...

You've seen how blind he is
to her faults.

Besides, the root is gone now.

- It can do no more harm.
- No, you don't understand.

I heard Morgana and Morgause.

There's more to the plan,
I'm sure of it.

- What happened?
- What happened?

I had to make do without a servant.
That's what's happened.

- I wasn't gone for that long.
- Without my permission.

- What if I was dying?
- I wouldn't be complaining.

But you're not. So where've you been?

- I was dying.
- I don't have time for this.

The future of the kingdom
rests upon my shoulders.

Do you have any idea
what that feels like?

- Well...
- Merlin.

I should have you thrown in the dungeons

so what have you got to
say for yourself?

You've not had your breakfast
this morning, have you?

I'll have you for breakfast!

No wonder this place is such a mess.

Ah, yes. I can see that you've got
all the makings of a great king.

May I clear away the dishes, my lady?

Morgana?

I was thinking about what to wear.

I must dress.

Have you lost something, my lady?

My earring.

Thought I might've dropped it
when I was in here yesterday.

- How is he?
- Much better.

We found the source of his sickness.

He was being enchanted.

Enchanted?

You need not worry, my lady.

He'll make a full recovery.

That is a relief.

Indeed, my lady.

I don't know how you
managed to escape it.

But I do know one thing.
If you breathe a word of what you saw,

I will make your life
a very short and painful one.

Just think how Uther would react

if he learnt that a servant boy had
tried to poison his beloved ward.

I estimate that they will reach the city
within two days.

- And whose banner do they march?
- Cenred, sire.

- I knew he was amassing an army.
- How many men?

Twenty thousand, maybe more.

I fear that news of the king's
illness has spread beyond our borders.

- Cenred sees an opportunity.
- Then we must find a way to appease him.

That's not what my father would do.
He wouldn't bow to our enemies.

Forgive me, sire, we are outnumbered
two to one.

What concessions will Cenred insist on?
What territories will he demand?

We do not have to give him anything,
but it could buy us valuable time...

It shows weakness, Gaius.

There's only one course of action
open to us.

We must prepare the city for siege.

Are you sure that is wise?

The castle is our strongest weapon.
No army has ever taken Camelot.

But what about the people in
the outlying villages?

Give them refuge within the city walls.

And what of their houses?
Their livelihoods?

Cenred will destroy
everything in his path.

But they will have their lives.

Go! Ready the army.

You did well in there, I mean it.
I was impressed.

We talking siege engines,

battering rams, catapults...

You made a tough decision.
You're risking...

- Do you know what?
- What?

I'd really prefer it if you
just kept quiet in these situations.

- I am just trying to help.
- Well, you're not.

I know you don't mean that.
You're just worried.

You don't need to be.

Look who we've got.

- What?
- You and...

Me.

Merlin, what exactly
are you going to do?

I'm going to be at your side,
like I always am. Protecting you.

God help me.

- My dear Morgause.
- Cenred.

My army shall be here by nightfall.

Glad that pleases you.

I'll wait and see if you deliver
before I say that I'm pleased.

And when I do?

Then I will give you a feast
that you will never forget.

- I'm sorry, I didn't mean to...
- No.

Come in, please.

How is your father?

I could do with him here.

You should have more faith in yourself.

What are the people saying?

They are glad
that you have taken charge.

I've committed them to a siege.

There's going to casualties, Gwen.

I trust you, Arthur.

More than Uther, more than any man.

Worry is not a wise counsel.

Forget everything else. You have to
follow what you believe is right.

I should go, sire.

There's no need to call me that.

There is every need, sire.

Where have you been?

- What's wrong, sister?
- It's Merlin.

He's alive. He's back in Camelot.

He's thwarted us.

And destroyed the mandrake root.

Your enchantment's been broken.

Do not worry.
The root has already done its work.

And Cenred's army are less than a day
from the city.

- Then it is time.
- Are you ready?

Morgana, Cenred's army are mighty,

but they cannot bring down
the city on their own.

You too must play your part.

Tell me what I must do.

It is carved from the rowan tree

that grows at the very heart
of the Isle of the Blessed.

Only the High Priestesses and their
Blood Guard have ever set eyes on it.

My magic is still weak.

I do not have the strength
to wield such an instrument.

Do not worry. The staff will guide you.

It carries its own power.

- I will not fail you.
- I know.

Merlin, where have you been?
I've been calling for you.

Gathering provisions.

Twenty-five salted cod, 15 dried capers,

- one smoked boar.
- What on earth for?

- We're preparing for a siege.
- Yes, not a banquet.

You know what you're like without food.

We can be trapped in here for weeks,
months even.

Look, what I've got for your breakfast.

Your favorite.

Pickled eggs.

Has everyone from the outlying villages
been given shelter?

As best we can, sire.

They amount to almost 9,000 so far
and they are still coming.

How long will our provisions last?

Depends, sire.
On what losses we sustain.

Cenred?

Our scouts report that he will be
upon us in a matter of hours.

Sire.

It's time.

I promise I will not let you down.

Sorry.

It's not like you to get nervous,
is it, Merlin?

- I'm not nervous.
- No?

Because I trust in your destiny.

Have you been on the cider?

It is your fate.

To be the greatest king that
Camelot's ever known.

And your victory today
will be remembered,

by every age.

Till the end of time.

Just trust in yourself.

There are times, Merlin,
when you display a sort of,

I don't know what it is.

I don't know what to say...

It's not wisdom.

But, yes. That's what it is.

Don't look so pleased. The rest
of the time, you're a complete idiot.

For the love of Camelot!

For the love of Camelot.

Fire!

Hold the line.

You need to go back, sire.

Gaius!

One of us needs to keep an eye on her.

- Don't worry, I am.
- You mustn't let her out of your sight.

I need to get back to Arthur.

Father!

- What are you doing?
- You're not well.

This is my kingdom!

Pull back! Retreat!

You must get back to the battle with us
in the lower town.

It's already lost, Father.

- And the citadel?
- Safe for now.

It must stay that way.

You've got to trust me, Father.
I know what I'm doing.

You must rest, sire.

When you are well again, you'll still
have a kingdom, I promise you that.

The lower town is ours.

Then we'll hardly fill
the pages of history.

What of the citadel itself?

Their defenses are strong.

Time for you to deliver
your side of the bargain.

Patience, Cenred.

You will not be disappointed.

- Where's Gaius?
- I don't know.

Morgana's disappeared.

Enough of your games, Morgause.
What has happened to your traitor?

For such a great king,
you have very little patience.

The time for patience is over.

You need not worry much longer.

No army can fight on two fronts.

Not even the knights of Camelot.

Take him to hospital.

Merlin!

- Where the hell have you been?
- Nowhere.

Starting to make a habit of this.
What's your excuse this time?

Come on, Merlin,
you can do better than that.

You need to warn Gaius,
tell him to seal off the hospital.

Merlin, do as I say.

I have to get out there.

No, sire. You're still weak from the
medicine I gave you. I told you that...

I cannot watch my kingdom fall
and do nothing.

Arthur will defend it.

Gaius.

You need to seal off the hospital.
The castle is under attack from within.

- What are you talking about?
- Morgana.

She's summoned an army of the dead.
They're everywhere.

Where are you going?

To try and stop her.

On me!

- We can't fight a battle on two fronts.
- Keep still.

I don't know how much longer
we can hold the citadel.

We need to my father to safety.

How?
We no longer control the lower town.

There's no escape, Arthur.

You should leave now,
while you still can.

Morgana, please, I beg you.

Women and children are dying.
The city will fall.

Good.

No, you don't mean that.

I have magic, Merlin.

Uther hates me and everyone like me.

Why should I feel
any differently about him?

You of all people
could change Uther's mind.

But doing this, using magic like this
will only harden his heart.

You don't have magic, Merlin.
How could you hope to understand?

I do understand, believe me.

If I had your gifts,
I would harness it for good.

That's what magic should be for.

That's why you were born
with these powers.

You don't know what it's like
to be an outsider.

To be ashamed of how you were born.
To have to hide who you are.

Do you think I deserve to be executed
because of who I am?

No.

It doesn't have to be like this.

We can find another way.

There is no other way.

What are you going to do? Kill me?

You don't think I can?

If you're going to do it, make it quick.

Your traitor has failed us,
just as I knew they would.

- I'm calling off the siege.
- You can't.

I cannot take the city unaided.
That was not our bargain.

- You have failed me, Cenred.
- I would rather fail you, Morgause,

than watch thousands of men die.

- Sire.
- What is it?

I need to tell you
something about Morgana.

- It's all right. I know what happened.
- You do?

In my time, we've won many battles,

but none so important as this.

Every man, every woman and child,

has performed their heroic best.

And I thank you, and I salute you all.

Even before the battle, we knew
there was a traitor in our midst.

One who was almost the undoing of us.

However, we have to thank the one person

who outwitted them.

And who almost singlehandedly
turned the battle,

the Lady Morgana.

For it was she who
bravely entered the vault,

found the magical vessel
and destroyed it.

We must be vigilant.

We must stand firm
against the dark forces of magic.

And ensure,

that they never,

penetrate our walls again.

Why is Uther so blind
to her true nature?

I don't know, Merlin.

It's a mystery.

But Morgana will try again.

- I'll be ready for her.
- You must be careful.

- I'm not afraid of her, Gaius.
- You should be.

No, all I feel for her is,

sad.

She's become so bitter, so full of hate.

Don't let that happen to you, Merlin.

Nothing could ever make me that angry.

Merlin!

Get your lazy backside out here.

On second thoughts...

Merlin.

Boo!

It seems you have
unleashed a goblin.

That's not Gaius.
He's been possessed by a goblin.

- I'm going to the tavern.
- You never go to the tavern.

Tell me you didn't think that was funny?

Your magic may be powerful,
but I have an advantage.

- What's that?
- I can hurt you,

whereas you cannot hurt me
without hurting Gaius.
