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... Harlan.

My lord, he is here.

You are my role.

Legend has it you are the most feared of
Chatham in all the known lands.

Tell me, are you as ruthless as they say
you are?

You would kill anyone.

I have killed many people. They're all
the same to me.

You are prepared.

Kill Ruete?

My lord, you would already be dead had
someone played the bounty on you.

I want you to kill the man.

Who murdered my son.

I want you to kill Arthur Pendragon.

That has got to hurt.

That's the point, Merlin. It's not a
pillow fight.

Let me know the last, will you?

Why did you pull out? I was wide open.
You could have unhorsed me.

I was fearful that I might injure you,
sir.

You had the advantage. You can't afford
to hesitate.

I wouldn't have done if I were facing a
different opponent.

You are the future king, my lord.

You jousted against me in the tournament
last year. Are you saying you'll let me

win?

No, my lord.

It doesn't matter who I am.

I do not expect any special treatment
from you, from any of you.

Is that understood?

How am I going to prove myself if my
opponents aren't trying their hardest?

It's not happening all the time.

So it's happening some of the time? No,
I'm certain it isn't.

Now you're doing it. You're telling me
exactly what you think I want to hear.

Yes.

Uh, no. What was the question?

That just proves it.

All my life, I've been treated as if I'm
special. I just want to be treated like

everyone else.

Really?

I've no idea how lucky you are.

Well, any time you want to swap places,
just let me know.

That's not a totally stupid idea.

You're Prince Arthur.

You can't change who you are.

Yes, I can.

We've received reports that a beast has
been sighted roaming the forest near the

northern borders.

What's the nature of this beast?

It was said to have the body of a lion
and the wings of an eagle.

And that...

Face of a bear.

I believe it has been conjured by
sorcery. Then we must destroy it.

I leave for the northern borders in the
morning.

But you'll miss the tournament.

As much as I want to compete, my duty to
Camelot comes first.

You're right, of course.

I'll meet you here in four days.

Must tell no one.

I've returned to Camelot.

You're late. Sorry, guys.

I'm in the floors.

What is that smell? Whose clothes are
these?

They're mine.

I wash them specially.

You sure this is a good idea?

It seems pretending to be somebody else
is the only way to get people to be

honest with me.

Grab my bag, will you?

If you want to pass as a peasant, you
should probably carry your own bag.

forgetting something, Merlin.

No one will know it's my bag.

There must be easier ways to prove
yourself. Shut up, Merlin.

I was there in person.

Odin has put a price on Prince Arthur's
head. Surely he wouldn't dare.

He's blinded by grief, my lord. The
assassin Myror has accepted the bounty.

I've heard of this Myror.

I believe he's heading for Camelot as we
speak.

I bring you this information at great
risk to myself.

Double the guard. I want this assassin
intercepted before he reaches Camelot.

My lord.

Bonnevere.

It's good of you to let me stay in your
home.

I'm happy to help.

Food.

I'll prepare some food for you.

You

can't

really expect me to stay here.

We need to keep you out of sight. We can
trust Gwen not to tell anyone you're

here. Don't anyone believe it.

What, you really can't get without your
big bed and your soft pillows?

This will be fine.

How are the preparations coming along?

Have you found someone to play our
knight in the tournament? Absolutely.

He's a farmer from one of the outlying
villages, and no -one will recognise

But does he look the part?

From now on, you're Sir William of
Deira.

Imagine you're really arrogant.

Knights like to think they're so much
better than everyone else. It's not

arrogant. Ignore him. He's an idiot.

A knight must behave with honour and
nobility.

That's better.

You must convince everyone that you were
born into a noble family.

Polish my armor, boy.

Now you're getting the hang of it.

That's a good point. You do need to
polish our armor.

Yeah.

Glad to hear you're resting, Merlin. I
take it that means you've got the energy

to clean my leech tank.

Been a long day.

Been cold.

Turned in for the night.

Is this my bed?

Of course.

I hope you'll be comfortable.

Sure I will be.

Good night.

Can I be here?

Good night, my lord.

Halt! Show yourself.

What business do you have in the king's
palace?

I came to speak an audience with Prince
Arthur.

What's your name?

My name is Myror.

Why are you here?

Your information was wrong.

Prince Arthur is not among the party
traveling to the northern border. The

prince left with them yesterday.

They must have separated. Perhaps he has
returned to Camelot. Not that I've

heard. His return would have been
announced at court.

It would seem the prince does not want
to be found.

Now remember the plan.

I'm competing in the tournament, but no
one will know that it's me.

All you have to do is acknowledge the
crowd at the end of the match.

Act like you belong there.

People believe that you do.

Knights of the Realm, welcome to
Camelot.

You've trained for this day for many
years.

He hasn't fallen off his horse.

I suppose that's something.

And your skill to the test.

Today you will fight for glory and for
honor.

For this is the ultimate test of
courage.

And it will be the measure of you as
men.

For only the most skillful, the most
fearless among you will emerge as a

champion.

Thank you.

You only acknowledge the crown.

How do you do that?

You wave, they tear. It's not difficult.

With all the work, someone else gets all
the praise.

How's the feeling?

When I win this tournament, I'll reveal
my true identity.

Get the credit I deserve.

Yeah, of course you will.

Well, don't just stand there.

Help me off with my armour. And remember
to polish it before tomorrow. The horse

needs grooming. And don't forget to
repair the broken lances.

Do you have news on the whereabouts of
Prince Arthur?

Everyone believes he is travelling to
the northern border.

But I've discovered that Arthur's
servant remains in Camelot. Who is this

servant? That's him.

Why is he working for another night?

Is this about the leech tank?

How very perceptive of you, Merlin.

I'll clean it tomorrow.

And will that be before or after you
scrub the floors and done the laundry?

From what I hear, the ladies at the
court are quite impressed with Sir

They think he's very handsome.

Typical.

They wouldn't know a real knight if you
whacked him around the head with his

lance.

Why are you doing this?

I fear that people respect me just
because of my title.

I don't believe that's true of everyone.

Would you tell me if it were?

No.

When I'm competing as William, my title
doesn't matter. Nobody gives me any

special treatment.

So when I win this tournament, if I win
this tournament, it will be because

I deserve it.

And not because I am Prince Arthur.

I think I'll take a bath.

That might be difficult, seeing as I
don't have a bathtub.

Really?

Uh, perhaps you could prepare me a bowl
of hot water. I'll take it you have a

bowl.

I think I can manage a bowl.

Just walk all the way down to the well
and fetch some water, then, shall I?

Merlin, on your feet. Arthur may be
away, but I'm not.

And why is my leech tank still dirty?

Where do you get the idea you can sit
around all day doing nothing?

Do you think I sit around doing nothing?

I haven't had a chance to sit around and
do nothing since the day I arrived in

Camelot. I'm too busy running around
after Arthur. Do this, Merlin. Do that,

Merlin. And when I'm not running around
after Arthur, I'm doing chores for you.

And if I'm not doing that, I'm
fulfilling my destiny.

Do you know how many times I've saved
Arthur's life?

I've lost count.

Do I get any thanks? No. I have four
cripplings, which is a bandit. I have

punched, poisoned, pelted with fruit.
And all the while, I have to hide who I

really am. Because if anyone finds out,
it will have me executed.

Sometimes I feel I can be pulled in so
many directions, I don't know which way

to turn.

Sir Eleanor has advanced to the final.

You're not impressed by this, Sir
William of Dara?

I believe he's an arrogant pig.

Congratulations. You are in the final.

Go on, then.

Your people await you.

No one can say Sir Leon let you win this
time.

It seems that the crowd are really
taking to William.

It's strange when I reveal my identity.

You really miss getting all the
attention, don't you?

Just go and water the horse, will you?

He's a fine horse.

I see your master has advanced to the
final. He's extremely skilled with the

lance.

He's doing well.

Just one more match to go.

Tell me.

What does he like to work for?

You mean me?

Can't be a bit of a prat.

So you are no longer working for Prince
Arth? No.

Yes, yes.

Not right now. Arth is away.

I'm just helping out.

Well, I wish your master luck in the
final.

Thank you.

Just a minute.

You've got a needle and thread.

Your shirt needs mending.

Um... Is this where you sleep? Where's
your bed?

You're sleeping in it.

Why didn't you say something?

Could I?

You're Prince Arthur.

Besides, you didn't give me the chance.
You just assumed the bed was yours. How

am I supposed to know if you don't tell
me?

You shouldn't need to be told to think
of someone other than yourself. You're

not a child.

Is there anything else you'd like to say
to me?

Please.

I'd like to hear it.

Is there something you want to say to
me?

Don't let me stop you.

You don't have any idea, do you?

About what? About how rude and arrogant
you can be.

This is my home and you are my guest in
it.

I know you are used to more luxurious
quarters, but that is not an excuse to

so rude.

You claim titles don't matter to you,
but you behave like a prince and expect

to wait on you like a servant, saying it
means nothing if your actions betray

you. Would it kill you to say please and
thank you once in a while?

My lord.

Is there anything else you'd like to
add?

No, I think that's it.

You're right.

You have invited me into your home and I
have behaved appallingly.

I didn't mean to make you feel bad.

Oh, really?

What about the liver?

There's no excuse.

I'll make it up to you.

Tonight, I will make dinner for you.

Are you going to cook me dinner? I most
certainly am. I'll go for a walk and do

whatever it is that you'll do at this
time of the evening.

What would be nice? Your dinner will be
ready when you return.

Where's Arthur?

He's cooking me dinner.

Arthur's cooking.

No.

Thank God.

Gwen says you're cooking. I need you to
fetch me two dinners from the pallet

kitchens. So you're not cooking? No.

Gwen doesn't need to know that. As far
as she's concerned.

Dinner will have been prepared and
cooked by me.

You trying to impress her?

Don't be ridiculous, Merlin.

Get me a decent shirt, will you? Your
clothes are making me itch all over.

like having fleas.

He's coming.

Quick, out the back way.

Do you think he's there?

Gran's impressed with your cooking.

Good idea.

Perfect timing.

Thank you.

This is delicious I'm glad you like it

Dinner's ready.

What I said this morning... It is I who
should be apologizing to you.

I have failed to appreciate just how
heavy your burden must be.

I shouldn't have lost my temper with
you. There's no wonder you're upset.

There's so much resting on your young
shoulders. Now that Arthur's away, you

must take time to enjoy yourself.

What about the leech tank?

Don't even think about the leech tank.

Really? All this talk of leeches will
put us off our dinner.

Where'd that chicken come from?

Come in.

The king commands your presence
immediately.

Can you determine a cause of death?

His neck's been broken.

There's scarcely a mark on the flesh who
ever killed him knew exactly what he

was doing.

I learned this evening an intruder was
spotted in the lower town.

Well, I fear it's true Odin has sent an
assassin to kill Arthur.

An assassin?

Have you heard any word from Arthur
since he left the northern borders?

No, none.

Well, if the assassin in Camelot, we
must be thankful Arthur isn't here.

Search the entire town.

I want the assassin found before Arthur
returns.

Yes, my lord.

So, do I have any more annoying habits
you wish to tell me about?

No, none.

There's something else, isn't there?

What is it?

Well, the truth is, you snore.

I do not snore. You do.

First night you were here, I thought a
pig had got into the house.

So now I'm a pig. Thank you, Guinevere.

I just meant you sound like a pig.

I think I'd better stop talking.

I'll do that.

Where did you get those plates?

From the cupboard.

They have the royal seal.

They're from the palace kitchen.

I've watched enough of them to know.

I take it that's where our food also
came from. Look, I can kill a chicken

a thousand pages. Don't ask me to cook
it. That's what servants are for.

I didn't mean it like that.

I'm not ashamed to be a servant.

At least I'm not a liar.

We had a nice meal together. What does
it matter where it came from?

Because I thought you'd shown some
humility.

You've done something kind for me, even
though I'm just a servant.

A good king should respect his people,
no matter who they are.

Bonnevie.

I know I have much to learn.

There are some things that I'm terrible
at, cooking being one of them.

knowing what to say to someone I care
about.

I'm an assassin in Camelot.

He's here to kill you.

He has not been killed, a guard.

Your father said Odin sent him.

Why would Odin want you dead?

Because I killed his son.

Odin's son challenged me to a fight. I
had no quarrel with him. I asked him to

withdraw.

Perhaps he felt he had to prove himself.

I still see his face.

He looks over again.

You cannot blame yourself.

No one but us knows where you are.

If the assassin can't find you, he can't
kill you.

May I continue to stay here?

Of course, for as long as you need.

Thank you.

I'll sleep on the floor tonight.

No, have my bed. You need to be well
rested for the tournament tomorrow.

Not hear of it.

Good night, Cornelia.

Good night.

Fetch the matches from my quarters and
bring it up here.

I'm not supposed to carry matters on my
own. I don't know. Strap it to your

back.

One more match.

It'll all be over.

You can go back to being Prince Arthur.

I thought you might wear it.

For luck.

Thank you.

Nearly ready for his day.

Sir Alan Moore.

Good luck and fun.

We'll be right back.

It's Lance.

It's my armour.

You're losing too much blood.

Do what you can.

I have to be back on the course in five
minutes, so I forfeit the match. You

can't possibly, Joust. You're too badly
injured.

I have never withdrawn from a match.

I did not intend to start now.

You would risk your life to protect your
pride.

You have nothing to prove, least of all
to me.

I have everything to prove.

To myself.

You have to pass through our house.

This is madness.

Wait. Where's Arthur?

He's back to Joss. It's Joss who gets
the assassin.

I'm buying fat ears.

You were jousting against the assassin.

He killed Eleanor and took his place.

The people are waiting for their
champion.

Time to reveal yourself.

You must go and collect the trophy.

I thought this was going to be your
moment of glory.

Perhaps this is a time for humility.

Alan, who is it?

Mr. Alinor.

He theft and attacked us as we returned
to Camelot.

I was injured whilst killing him.

Odin must be made to pay for his
actions. We must strike back at him.

Surely you understand the grief he feels
for the loss of his son.

We should try to make peace with him.

There's been enough bloodshed.

Perhaps you're right.

How was the rest of your trip?

Fruitful?

Very.

I learned a great deal.

How was the tournament?

Excellent. We have a new champion, Sir
William of Dara.

I'm sorry. I missed all the excitement.

happened while I was staying with you.

I'm afraid my father would never
understand.

You don't have to explain.

Perhaps when you are gone, you'll be
different.

This is horrible.

This is so disgusting.

Well, perhaps you'll think twice about
lying to me in future.

And Merlin, there's something on your
face.

What?

Merlin.

It's magic. What about the droids? They
help people like you.

Uther thinks that Morgana's been
kidnapped.

This way!

It would be better if the witch never
knew the true extent of her power.
