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.

HIDER EFT FUNDA ON
THYSNE MIDDANGEARD...

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 KNIGHTS' CODE.

( grunts )

YOU, WHO PLEDGE
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 WILL PROVE YOURSELVES
WORTHY OF YOUR TITLE.

( swords clanging,
men grunting )

I ACCEPT
YOUR CHALLENGE.

IF I'M TO FACE YOU
IN COMBAT,

DO ME THE COURTESY OF
REVEALING YOUR IDENTITY.

MY NAME IS MORGAUSE.

( theme music playing )

I'VE SEARCHED
THE RECORDS GOING BACK
MORE THAN 300 YEARS.

I COULD FIND NOTHING
TO SAY A WOMAN CANNOT
ISSUE A CHALLENGE.

THERE MUST BE SOME WAY
TO PUT A STOP TO THIS.

ACCORDING TO
THE KNIGHTS' RULES,

IT APPEARS HER CHALLENGE
IS PERFECTLY VALID.

IT SEEMS THERE'S
NOTHING WE CAN DO.

WE DON'T KNOW ANYTHING
ABOUT THIS WOMAN.

I WILL NOT LET YOU
FACE HER IN COMBAT.

I ACCEPTED THE CHALLENGE.
IF I 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

THEN BE SEEN
TO BREAK IT MYSELF.

I MUST FACE HER
TOMORROW.

Gwen:
WHO IS SHE?

WHY WOULD SHE
CHALLENGE ARTHUR?

IT SEEMS NO ONE'S
EVER HEARD OF HER.

- I FEEL AS IF 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.

YEAH, 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 COULD USE 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 WILL 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.

( chuckles nervously )
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.

( crowd cheering,
applauding )

THE FIGHT IS
BY THE KNIGHTS' 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.

( crowd cheering,
applauding )

( crowd gasps )

( Arthur panting )

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 TO 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.

( crowd murmuring )

YOU'RE 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 HAVE
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 WAS 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.

( knock on door )

I DIDN'T MEAN
TO INTRUDE.

I WANTED TO
INTRODUCE MYSELF.

- I'M THE LADY MORGANA.
- I KNOW WHO YOU ARE.

HOW IS YOUR ARM?
YOU WERE WOUNDED.

IT WILL 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'VE MET
SOMEWHERE BEFORE?

I'M 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.

GEFULTUME
HI THAET HEO ONSLAEPE.

( footsteps departing )

( bell tolling )

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 YOURSELF
TO BE A MAN OF HONOR.

YOU INHERITED THAT TRAIT
FROM YOUR MOTHER.

- YOU KNEW MY MOTHER?
- I KNEW HER VERY WELL.

( horse whinnies )

WAIT!

MORGANA?

MORGANA.

- MORGANA?
- MM.

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.
- IT 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'S 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.

OH. MAYBE HE'S
GOT A POINT.

YOU DON'T KNOW
WHAT SHE MIGHT HAVE
ASKED YOU TO DO.

I GAVE HER MY WORD.

SO, I TAKE IT
WE'RE GOING ANYWAY.

YOU'RE SMARTER
THAN YOU LOOK.

GET US SOME SUPPLIES.
WE'LL 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.

IC THE GEHATTE,
SEAROBEND.

( grunts )

( grunts )

GOT THE SUPPLIES.

MERLIN,
IS IT MY IMAGINATION
OR ARE YOU GETTING FAT?

( chuckling )

ARE YOU SURE YOU'RE
STRONG ENOUGH TO HOLD ME?

YEAH. I'M STRONGER
THAN I LOOK.

( grunts )

( whispering )
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

LOWER THE ROPE!

THERE IS
NO MORE ROPE!

I DON'T KNOW IF I CAN
HOLD IT MUCH LONGER!

( grunts )

MERLIN,

DO NOT LET GO
OF THE ROPE.

( yells )

( thud )

WHICH WAY?

DO YOU ACTUALLY KNOW
WHERE WE'RE GOING?

- IT'S THIS WAY.
- ( horse snorts )

- COME ON.
- ( horse whinnies )

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.

Gaius:
COME ON, MERLIN.

MERLIN?

YOU'VE BEEN GUARDING
AN EMPTY ROOM.

SEND OUT
A SEARCH PARTY!

FIND ARTHUR AND BRING HIM
BACK TO CAMELOT!

( sniffs )

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 ASKED 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.

( horse neighs )

( grunts )

AAAH!

AAAAH!

AAAH!

GAR ONBAERNE.

AAAH!

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 GONNA
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.

GOOD DAY, MY DEAR.
I BROUGHT YOU YOUR
SLEEPING DRAFT.

I COULD HAVE
SAVED YOU THE TROUBLE.

I 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'M MERELY SURPRISED
THAT IT'S SO EFFECTIVE.

I FEEL AS IF
I SOMEHOW KNOW MORGAUSE.

I DON'T SEE HOW,

BUT I'M 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'S
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 IS ONLY ONE PERSON
OTHER THAN MORGANA

WHO WOULD HAVE CAUSE
TO WEAR SUCH A BRACELET.

THAT IS
HER HALF-SISTER.

I WAS LED TO BELIEVE
THAT THE CHILD HAD DIED.

THE CHILD LIVED,
MY LORD.

SHE WAS SMUGGLED OUT OF CAMELOT
SHORTLY 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 HAVE
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.

( horse snorts )

NOW WHERE'S HE GOING?

I THINK YOU'RE
GOING TO GET WET.

YOU DON'T SAY.

( horse snorts )

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 HAVE BEEN
HOW SHE DEFEATED ME.
SHE WAS USING MAGIC.

MM, IT DIDN'T
LOOK LIKE SHE WAS.

AND WHAT
WOULD YOU KNOW
ABOUT MAGIC, MERLIN?

NOTHING.

NOW WHAT?

MAYBE WE SHOULD
ASK THE HORSE.

WELL, THERE'S
NO ONE HERE.

Morgause:
YOU KEPT YOUR PROMISE.

WHAT IS THE NATURE
OF THE CHALLENGE YOU
WISH TO SET ME?

PLACE YOUR HEAD
ON THE BLOCK.

YOU GAVE ME YOUR WORD
THAT YOU WOULD DO
ANYTHING I ASKED.

ARTHUR, DON'T.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

I WON'T LET YOU
DO THIS!

STAY OUT OF THIS,
MERLIN.

YOU HAVE SHOWN THAT YOU ARE
TRULY A MAN OF OUR 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 WAS NO SIGN
OF PRINCE ARTHUR ANYWHERE.

REDOUBLE
YOUR EFFORTS AND RIDE US
TO THE OUTLYING VILLAGES.

- I WANT MY SON FOUND!
- ( cup clangs )

YES, MY LORD.

IT CHILLS ME
TO THINK WHAT MORGAUSE
HAS PLANNED FOR ARTHUR.

- ( door closes )
- HAD SHE CHOSEN TO,

SHE ALREADY COULD
HAVE 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
TOWARD MAGIC IS WRONG?

YOU REALLY THINK THAT?

PERHAPS IT'S NOT AS SIMPLE
AS HE WOULD HAVE US BELIEVE.

MORGAUSE IS A SORCERER.
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.

Woman:
ARTHUR.

( gasps )

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
THE 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.

( wind gusts )

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.

WELL, HE'S FOUND OUT NOW.

ARTHUR.
WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?

I'VE HAD SEARCH PARTIES
OUT LOOKING FOR YOU.

ARTHUR.

I KNOW... WHAT YOU DID
TO MY MOTHER.

LEAVE US.

NO ONE
IS TO ENTER.

WHAT ARE 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 HAVE 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.

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.

( grunts )

( grunting )

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 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 ARE 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
IT ISN'T TRUE.

YOU WERE 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.

( panting )

MY SON.

YOU MEAN MORE TO ME
THAN-- THAN ANYTHING.

OH, LORD.

I'M SORRY.

YOU ARE NOT
TO BLAME.

I AM 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 WILL 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 HAVE
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 HAVE
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 and Gaius
laugh )

AETIEWE ME
