THE 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.

Yes.

Gaius asked me to fetch a book.

The Bestiary of Gwilym of Cambria.

The Bestiary?

I haven't seen that for many years.

It'll be somewhere in the East Wing.

I have no idea where.

East is that way.

Yeah.

Great.

(GROWLING)

(KNOCKING)

(GROWLS)

(CASTING SPELL)

Boo!

Are you gonna say something or shall I?

You can speak?

You're a sharp one.

I can't tell you how good it feels
to be able to do that. And that.

And this.

Shh. Shh. Shh.

I have been squished and squashed inside
that box for more than 50 years!

Time to have some fun. Woo-hoo!

There you go!

Have fun, quietly. It's just...
Very quietly.

Uh-oh.

No! You are going to get both of us
into serious trouble.

Oh. Oh. Oh!

Oh, dear. What a shame. Never mind.

Right. That's it.

You are going back in that box
while I work out what to do with you.

Oh. All right.

If I really must.

(WHIMPERING)

In.

Oh.

Ha, ha!

Fooled you!

Stop messing around!

(CLANKING)

Nah. Nah. Nah!

Maybe.

Nah.

Nah.

Nah.

Got you!

(GRUNTS)

(BUZZING)

No!

- Bull's-eye!
- Someone's going to see you!

Really?
I'm just having a little tidy up.

Look here, you want to
get rid of all of this.

Nasty mess up here.

Nobody's had a brush up here for years.

Look at it. It's all old and...
Right, that's enough. I'm off.

Hee, hee, hee!

Found it.

Ah.

(CLANKING)

(GRUNTING)

No!

No, no, no, no.

No!

No! None here.

Argh!

None under here either.

ARTHUR: Merlin!

I really hope for your sake you have
a good explanation for this.

(STAMMERS) I do have a good explanation.

I'm spring cleaning.

It isn't spring,

and it certainly isn't clean.

That's because I've only just started.

(DOOR CREAKING)

Yeah. You wait until I've finished.

You'll be able to eat your dinner
off the floor.

Not that you'd want to.

(CRASHING)

What was that?

Why don't I go and see
and you can make yourself comfortable.

Nearly, nearly, nearly, nearly.

Nearly, nearly, nearly.

- Oh.
- No!

(GOBLIN YELPS)

(CLEARS THROAT)

I'm really not sure
it suits you, Merlin.

That's it.

Seems you have unleashed a goblin.

I know that face. It's not good, is it?

Goblins are the most mischievous
of creatures.

Mischievous and dangerous.

- It didn't seem dangerous.
- Believe me, Merlin,

goblins will stop at nothing
to get their hands

on the one thing they value
above all others.

Gold.

(DOOR OPENS)

You're needed, Gaius, for a matter
of great urgency and extreme delicacy.

What is it?

It's my father.

I should warn you. If you value your
lives, do not even think about laughing.

Father?

I'm behind the screen.

Only an enchantment could cause
Uther to lose his hair like that.

I've no doubt the goblin is to blame.

We must catch it
before it does any real damage.

(LAUGHS) Did you see Uther's face?

Merlin, what do you think Uther will do

to the person responsible
for releasing the goblin?

We need to catch it. How do we do that?

We need to set a trap.
And for that, we need gold,

and plenty of it.

(SNORES)

(CRASHING)

Who's there?

(WHISPERS SPELL)

(GROANS)

Oh! Ah! (GROANS)

Guards!

Oh!

Lovely gold.

Oh. Oh. Ah!

Oh!

Oh! Oh!

Oh! Ah! (GRUNTING)

(BUZZING)

Oh!

Gaius?

- Did you see where it went?
- You let it escape, you stupid boy!

And now you just stand there like
a sack of potatoes! Go after it!

Go! Shoo! Shoo!

(DOOR OPENS)

(DOOR CLOSES)

I've searched the entire palace.

There's no sign of the goblin...
What happened?

It's that pesky goblin!

You let it escape
and it's ransacked my premises.

You've got some cleaning up to do.

Clean, clean!

Where are you going?

I am going to the tavern.

You never go to the tavern.

Then I shall see what I've been missing.

(DOOR OPENS)

(DOOR CLOSES)

(MEN CHANTING ENCOURAGEMENT)

Shall we arm-wrestle

or do you require a moment to recover
what little strength you have?

(MEN CHANTING ENCOURAGEMENT)

(CHEERING)

(LAUGHING)

(BELCHES LOUDLY)

Oof. You look terrible.
How much did you drink last night?

You don't look so good yourself.
What's your excuse?

- What?
- Shh!

Too much talking.

I have a head like the inside of a drum,
and a mouth like a badger's armpit.

Ugh. Badger's armpit?

Make yourself useful.
Go to the market and fetch my breakfast.

Away! Go!

(BELCHES)

(DOOR OPENS)

Mmm.

Gaius?

Yes, yes. What is it?

I couldn't sleep last night.

My healing bracelet's been stolen.

Ooh. Tragedy. Travesty.

Whoever stole it should be hanged,
flogged and hanged again!

I was hoping you could give me
a sleeping draught.

A sleeping draught? Can't you count
sheep like everyone else?

Why are you bothering me
with such things? Shoo.

I don't know why you're
being like this, Gaius.

I'm the King's ward
and you shall do as I ask.

Ooh!

Shall I now?

I can see deep into your heart.

And it's cold. Cold as stone.

You play at being Uther's loving ward,
you play it so well.

You fool him, but you don't fool me.

You would see Uther dead
and Camelot destroyed.

Why would you say such a thing?

Because it's the truth.

There is evil in your heart.

I don't know what's come over you.

You were always
such a good friend to me.

I see the truth frightens you.

It's you that frightens me.

Do you not want your sleeping draught
after all, Lady Morgana?

One moment.

Sweet dreams.

Do come back and see me any time.

Say, "Ah, ooh, ah, ooh, ah, ooh!"

Ah, ooh, ah, ooh, ah, ooh!

He's certain to die.

- Oh!
- I don't feel like I'm dying.

If you value your life,
you won't say another word.

It could kill you instantly. Shh.

I believed he had a broken rib.

A broken rib that's become infected with
a most severe and terrifying infection

that can only be treated by this remedy.

Alas, it's very expensive.

We do not have any money to spare.

In that case your husband will die

and you'll spend the rest of your life
in poverty and misery

before dying a lonely, cold death,
which is no less than you deserve.

(TOM MUMBLES)

What can I do for you?

It is more a question
of what I can do for you.

Ah. It seems you are developing
the symptoms already.

Symptoms for what?

The most severe and terrifying infection

that is sweeping through Camelot
like a plague.

I haven't heard anything
about an infection.

That's because those who catch it
are immediately struck dumb.

Fortunately I have developed
a very effective cure.

Which is yours in exchange
for a gold coin.

Very funny.

Is it? I don't hear anyone laughing.

You've never charged me
for remedies before.

Then I've clearly been a fool.

Do you wish for a cure,

or do you wish to walk around
with a face covered in boils

and your nose dripping with snot?

Boils?

Big, pussy boils.

Bigger than you've ever seen.

I'll fetch a coin.

Come on. Come on. I haven't got all day.

A most wise decision.

You're sure this treatment
will work, Gaius?

I am quite certain of it, my lord.

Is it really necessary
to slap my head like that?

Completely and utterly necessary.

We must restore the circulation
to the scalp.

You wish your hair to grow back,
my lord?

Get on with it then.

You're the goblin!

Have you lost your mind?

No, but you have.
Or at least it's been taken over.

Don't be ridiculous.

I know Gaius as well as I know myself
and you're not him.

Ah! You've got me.

How do you like my new body?

It's a bit old and creaky,
but it's ever so much fun.

It's not your body, it's Gaius'.
What have you done with him?

He's still in here somewhere.

Gaius has done you no harm.

Leave him.

All right, you've convinced me.

On second thoughts,

I think I'll stay where I am.
I like it in here.

The freedom. The gold. The beer.

Did I mention the gold?

If you hurt Gaius...

I will kill you.

You'd be killing him!

You see the problem? I'm him. He's me.
We're all jumbled up in here.

There have been instances of vandalism
around the palace

as well as a number of thefts.

I myself was a victim.

Unfortunately, the thief managed
to elude me.

(FARTS)

(GASPS)

(FARTS)

Double the guard.

I want the perpetrator found.

(FARTS)

Yes, my lord.

(FARTS)

(FARTING CONTINUES)

The council is dismissed!

(FARTING CONTINUES)

Now!

Gaius, is there anything
you can do to treat this?

(FARTS)

(FARTING)

(LAUGHING)

Tell me you didn't think that was funny.

Not even a little bit?

Just a teeny, weeny bit?

If you carry on like this,
you're going to get Gaius killed.

Well, then you underestimate me.

I have cured Uther of his farting
and his baldness.

He is, he tells me, forever in my debt.
I am a genius.

This has to stop.

I see no reason why.

Now if you're quite finished,
I'm going to the tavern.

(CASTING SPELL)

Well, well, well.

So you have a secret
of your own, Merlin.

Leave his body,

or you will regret it.

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

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

(CASTING SPELL)

Whereas you cannot hurt me
without hurting Gaius.

I won't rest until I've found a way
to force you out of Gaius' body.

Ah, Gaius.
I've been meaning to come and see you.

I've got this terrible pain in my leg.

It is hardly surprising when
it has to support that enormous gut.

Lose some weight, fatty.

Arthur?

Arthur, I have to talk to you.

- Arrest him.
- What?

Arthur, what are you doing?

Is it true that you are responsible

for the afflictions that I and other
members of the court have suffered?

What?

No.

- Gaius.
- I found this in your room.

It's a book of spells and enchantments.

He's lying.

That's not Gaius.

What are you talking about?

He's been possessed by a goblin.

The boy is reduced to making the most
desperate and ridiculous accusations.

You seriously expect me
to believe that Gaius is a goblin?

It's controlling him.

Gaius is still in there...somewhere.

Do you have any proof
of these accusations?

- No!
-(PEOPLE MURMURING)

I fear that magic has corrupted you.

It pains me more than I can tell you.

I really doubt that.

My lord, I have been
harboring a sorcerer.

For that, I offer the most
sincere apology.

You were not to know, Gaius.

He's fooled us all.

- It's not me that's fooling you.
- Silence!

You've been found guilty
of using magic and enchantments.

In accordance with our laws, you will
pay with your life. Take him away.

You clumsy oaf!

Gaius, I will pretend
that I didn't hear that.

Are you deaf as well as stupid?

I'm a knight of Camelot,
and you will show me some respect.

You are a fool and I will show you none.

You will learn some manners,
or I will teach you some.

You may be old,
but I cannot let this pass.

Arm yourself.

I'm just a foolish old man
who's had far too much to drink.

Please accept my apologies.

A flagon of ale for my friends!

Then I accept your apology.

Gaius.

My apologies again.
I don't know what came over me.

It is forgotten.

(CASTING SPELL)

(GASPS)

(WARNING BELLS RINGING)

Shh.

(GUARDS SHOUTING)

ARTHUR: Merlin has escaped.

It seems he somehow managed
to obtain a set of keys.

Escaped? How was this allowed to happen?
Incompetence!

I didn't mean to speak
out of turn, my lord.

Gaius is right.

This is unacceptable.
The guards should be punished.

I'll see to it personally.

Search the town. I want Merlin found.

Yes, sire.

We need to force
the goblin out of Gaius.

And how do we do that?

I don't know.

I'll try to sneak back
to Gaius' chambers,

maybe I can find something
in one of his books.

What can I do?

We need to convince Arthur.

Maybe if you speak to him
he might listen to you.

- No, I can't.
- Why?

After what happened
in the Council yesterday

I'll never be able to look Arthur
in the face again.

I know, it's embarrassing.

It's more than embarrassing, Merlin.

I cannot face him, ever.

Come on, Gwen. It's not that bad.
All girls do it, don't they?

Not in public, and certainly not
in front of the man

they have feelings for.

You still have feelings for Arthur?

Not that it matters now,

because he will never be able to look
at me in the same way again.

Gwen, if Arthur likes you, he likes you.

Warts and farts and all.

Merlin, I haven't got any warts!

Then you'll talk to him?

(KNOCKING)

Ah, Gaius. Come in.

I believe you wanted to see me.

I wanted to thank you in person.

It can't have been easy for you,
exposing Merlin like that.

My loyalty to Camelot
and your father comes first.

It is much appreciated.

I should also thank you for ridding me
of the most incompetent,

rude and lazy servant
Camelot has ever known.

I'm just sorry that you had to suffer
his ineptitude for so long.

When we catch him, you'll see him hang.

Ah. I shall look forward to that.

Is something wrong?

The Gaius I know would never
look forward to seeing Merlin hang,

no matter what he'd done.

Merlin was telling the truth.

(KNOCKS)

(INDISTINCT ANIMAL-LIKE SOUND)

Arthur?

Arthur, it's Guinevere. Can I come in?

(SOUND CONTINUES)

Arthur?

Arthur?

(GASPS)

What's happened to you?

(BRAYING)

Did Gaius do this to you?

He's a goblin.

You poor thing.

(BRAYS)

Sorry.

Merlin's working on a plan.

We'll figure out what to do.

Stay here.

(DOOR CLOSES)

Arthur's a donkey?

He has the ears of a donkey,

and the voice.

He's braying.

He's braying? Wow.

(CLEARS THROAT)

It's not funny, Merlin.

No, no, of course not.
Arthur with the ears of a donkey.

What's funny about that?

He just looked so pitiful.

I've never seen Arthur look like that.

Did you find anything?

I think so.

If the host body dies,
the goblin dies with it.

So if Gaius is dying, the goblin
will be forced to leave him.

You want to kill Gaius?

Just briefly.

Once the goblin's out of Gaius we have
to trap it in a box lined with lead,

it's the only container
that will hold it.

Where do we get a box lined with lead?

Leave that to me.

(DOOR CLOSES)

(WHISPERING SPELL)

Ow!

It is the same for all of us
who were in the tavern last night.

That is most unfortunate.

Please. Can you treat it?

The infection has no cure.

The itching will become
almost unbearable.

Itching? There is no itching.

There will be soon enough.

Itching so severe it has been known
to drive men to madness.

Gaius, please.
There must be some remedy.

We will pay whatever it takes.

Hurry up!

I'm doing my best. Gaius normally deals
with anything to do with poisons.

As soon as the goblin's out of Gaius,
you must give him the antidote.

We only have a few seconds
or Gaius will, you know, die.

He's coming!

Ah.

Now...

Ugh, that's disgusting!

You've poisoned me!

You've poisoned Gaius!

Leave his body while you still can.

(BUZZING)

Give him the antidote!

(YELPS)

Back in the box.

You'll have to catch me first!

Let me out.
I promise I won't do it again.

I don't know which one's the antidote.
Which one is it?

I don't know.

He's dying!

I think it's this one.

This one!

Are you sure that was the antidote?

No.

Gaius!

Come on!

Please, come on, you stubborn old goat!

Who are you calling an old goat?

You mean to tell me
it was you who was responsible

for the baldness, the flatulence,
the boils and Arthur's donkey ears?

I fear I was, my lord.

Or at least the goblin was,
while I was possessed by it.

Magic has the power to corrupt
even the most honorable of men.

Indeed. Though I must assure you
that Merlin was entirely innocent.

Then he is pardoned.

(GROWLING)

May I suggest it is kept
where no one will ever open it.

See that it's placed in the vaults.

Gaius.

Do you know who was responsible for
releasing the goblin in the first place?

I'm afraid I've no idea, my lord.

(GROWLING)

Now.

Secure it now.

- My lord.
- Guinevere.

The events of the last few days, I...

I think it would be best if we

never spoke of them.

I don't even know what events
you're referring to.

Quite.

It's been entirely uneventful.

I need to train my men.

I must see to these sheets.

(SIGHS)

I see you've been busy
undoing the goblin's magic.

As usual, I'll get no thanks
for it whatsoever.

Since releasing the goblin
was entirely your fault, Merlin,

I am not sure you deserve any thanks.

Arthur doesn't know that.

For your sake,
you better hope it stays that way.

(BRAYS)

Merlin.

Just one more day.

(CLEARS THROAT)

It's too good.

Merlin.

The melee is the ultimate test
of strength and courage.

Are you sure we're talking
about the same thing?

I'm Gwaine.

The man saved my life, Gaius.

That serving boy is on to us.

Merlin should be back by now.

I think they mean
to kill Arthur in the melee.
