All language subtitles for Merlin S1-S5_en (1)

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.

( Rattling )

( Incanting )

Look what's just
arrived for you.

Who are they from?

I don't know.
Maybe arthur.

How disappointing.

Why? Who would you
like them to be from?

I don't know--
a tall, dark stranger?

See you in
the morning.

( Lightly snoring )

( Theme music playing )

Her body seems to
have closed down.

Uther:
Why?

You don't have
an answer, do you?

Nothing you've tried
so far has worked.

It's been
nearly two days.

What do you know?

I fear she may have
some form of inflammation
of the brain.

What could have caused
such a thing?

An infection, possibly.

Rest assured I will do
everything in my power

to cure her, sire.

Is she any better?

She's all but dead, merlin.

No, you're going
to cure her.

- You have to.
- Don't you start.

I've tried everything.

- I was wondering--
- what?

Maybe I could...

Help.

If you are
suggesting magic--

have you forgotten what
happened with gwen's father?

This is not
a magical illness;

it must be cured by
conventional means.

We keep trying.

See if you can find me some
fresh rosemary.

There must be something
more I can do.

And yarrow.

What's your
business here?

My name is edwin muirden.

And I have a remedy
to cure all ills.

- Is that so?
- I beg an audience
with the king.

Our court has
a physician.

I hear the lady morgana

is gravely ill.

That is no
concern of yours.

I may be able
to help her.

Our physician has
the matter in hand.

I'll be at the inn...

In case you
change your mind.

It's gonna
be all right.

It is.
I know it is.

She's going to be
absolutely--

- merlin!
- What?

You're making me anxious.

But I'm not worried.

Then stop pacing.

I cannot preserve her life
for much longer.

She has hours, maybe less.

We cannot
let her die.

Arthur, please.

There's a man-- he came to
the castle yesterday.

He claims he
can cure her.

That's ridiculous.
He doesn't know what's
wrong with her.

He says he has
a remedy to cure all ills.

- Impossible.
- For morgana's sake,

surely we should at
least hear him out.

I mean, what have we
got to lose?

Please, father.

Probably some charlatan
hoping for a quick shilling.

I don't care!
If she's about to die,
what harm can it do?

Give him his shilling
if there's one chance
in a million he can save her.

Then why not?

Send for him.

Edwin muirden, sire--

physician and loyal servant.

Welcome to camelot.

Have we met before?

I doubt you would forget
a face like mine, sir.

Do you really believe
you have a remedy?

There are not many ills
that I have not seen

and successfully
treated, sire.

So when I heard of
the lady morgana's sickness,

I felt honor bound
to offer my services.

You say you have a cure
for all; An antidote
for everything?

Yes.

Although it is not
quite as simple as that.

Gaius is
the court physician.

You are indeed
a legend, sir.

I am delighted to
meet you.

I am curious to know
what it is that has
affected her.

- An infection of the brain.
- And your treatment?

- Yarrow...
- Yes yes.

...rosemary to stimulate
cerebral circulation...

Interesting.

- Why? What would you suggest?
- No no no. No no no.

That is all fine--
all good

if that is the right
diagnosis.

What would your
diagnosis be?

Well...

Without examining
the patient...

You should
examine her.

I would need
my equipment.

Of course. You'll have use
of one of the guest chambers.

You can consider my
manservant at your disposal.

I will start work
immediately.

Yes...

It was all originally
designed for alchemy.

Making gold?

You have an interest
in science?

"Science is knowledge."

It has the answers
to everything.

Maybe.

It can't explain love.

Ha.
So you are in love?

No.

I mean...

Feelings, emotions.

You seem too bright to
be just a servant.

Oh, well, don't be fooled;
I'm not that bright.

( Box rattling )

Yes, we will
need that.

Now we must hurry

to the lady morgana

before it
is too late.

Put my equipment
over there.

Sire, I would be grateful

if you could have
everyone leave the room.

I require peace
and privacy.

Certainly.

That includes you,
gaius.

But I am eager to
learn from your methods.

Now is not the time
for giving instruction.

I will need all
my concentration.

Gaius.

( Rattling )

Why are you spying on me?

I wasn't.
I'm her maidservant.

- Then bring me some water.
- Someone should be with her.

Do you want to be
responsible for her death?

- No--
- then you will
bring me some water.

Now!

Or she might die.

( Incanting )

( Rattling )

Great news, your majesty.

You will be
glad to hear

it is not an inflammation
of the brain.

- What is it then?
- It is a cerebral
hemorrhage.

Hemorrhage?

I don't think so.

I found this trace
of blood in her ear.

Uther:
God in heaven.

The severity depends
upon the site and volume
of the bleed.

If not treated,
it can lead to coma

and eventually death.

How could you
have missed this?

I didn't see
any blood.

Please.

Just thank the fates
that you did not
administer more rosemary

to stimulate
the circulation.

Can you imagine what
that might have done?

It may have
increased the bleed.

Is there a cure?

See for yourself.

Uther:
Morgana.

This is truly
a miracle.

I thought--
I really thought--

oh, you won't get rid
of me that easily.

What exactly
did he give you?

I have no idea.

But thank heaven
he did.

Gaius:
Edwin?

I want to offer you
my congratulations.

Thank you.

She was all but dead
and you brought her
back to life.

How exactly did
you do that?

I have developed
an elixir

for the treatment of
just such an ailment.

I'd love to know
the ingredients.

It is not yet perfected.

You must give me more time
before I make it public.

The injury
to your face--

it happened when
I was very young.

Perhaps it was I that
treated you for it.

I told you before,
we've never met.

Yes, of course.

Well, I'll leave you
to your work.

Uther:
Name your reward.

I desire nothing more
than the good health of
my patient, sire.

There must be something I
can do for you.

No.
I will wait until the
lady morgana

is fully recovered and
then I will be on my way.

Why don't you
stay a while?

You could live here
in the palace.

No, I feel I would
be trespassing.

And you already have
a court physician.

I'm sure gaius would
be glad of your help.

- It is a kind offer, but--
- think about it.

Dine with me later.
Give me your decision.

To dine with
your majesty

would be reward
in itself.

Gaius.

Geoffrey, I am here to ask
a favor of you.

Well, anything for
an old friend.

I wish to see the court
records from the time

of the great purge.

What possible need can
you have for those?

I fear that the past may
have come back to haunt us.

All the more reason to
keep the records hidden.

I know that neither of us
want to remember that time,

but this is a matter
of great urgency.

The records are sealed;
They cannot be opened.

Uther has
forbidden it.

- Geoffrey, I beg of you--
- I am sorry, gaius.

This time you
ask too much,

even for me.

Edwin?

( Metal clanking )

( Rattling )

( Reading incantation )

( Rattling )

Edwin:
Very good.

( Beetles scurrying )

( Incants )

You have magic.

It wasn't me.
I didn't do anything.

How else did you
bring them to life?

Only magic can
do such a thing.

These little angels

are how I cured
lady morgana.

They repaired the damage
to her brain.

They saved her life.

Magic can be
a force for good.

I know.

Then why
do you fear it?

Uther has banned it.
It's not permitted.

Should I have let
morgana die?

No.

People like us--
we have a gift.

Do you not think
it should be used to
make this a better world?

Perhaps.

Don't waste your time
picking that up.

( Incants )

Why waste
a talent like that?

And I can
teach you.

( Incants )

What do you
use this for?

- Gaius doesn't like me to.
- A gift like yours

should be nurtured,

practiced, enjoyed.

You need someone
to help you,

to encourage you.

Perhaps.

Imagine what
we could achieve

if we shared
our knowledge.

- I should be getting back.
- Of course.

You must promise
to keep our secret safe.

- Of course.
- People like you and i--

we must look
after each other.

( Knock at door )

Come in.

Gaius, you've been a good
friend to me over the years.

And you've done me
many kindnesses.

I can't deny you
this one request.

The records?

I know you wouldn't ask
unless it was important.

You must believe me--
there's a great deal at stake.

If uther were to discover this,
he would kill us both.

It is for uther's sake
that I make the request.

Trust me, please.

Thank you old friend.

It's unlike gaius to
miss something like this.

We all
make mistakes.

Gaius is
a great physician.

The very best...

Which is what
I don't understand.

What?

It's not for me to
speak out of turn.

You saved the life of my ward;
You may speak as you wish.

He has been prescribing
sleeping drafts

- for morgana.
- She suffers from bad dreams.

Yes. But the dreams
should have been a warning.

You think the two
may be connected?

Oh, yes.

A symptom of the illness?

I am certain of it, yes.

And those potions--
they masked the problem

and allowed it to develop
to the point where...

She nearly died.

If you hadn't
come along when you did...

But I did and that
is all that matters.

Her life is saved...

In the nick of time.

Will you undertake
a review of his work?

Just to be on
the safe side.

If it would put
your mind at rest, sire.

Have you been up
all night?

( Rooster crows )

Yes, but it was worth it.
Where are you going?

Uh, I told edwin
I'd be up at dawn to
collect some supplies.

Well, you'd better get
a move on then.

Edwin.

Your scar has
healed well.

I often wondered what happened
to that poor young boy.

I told you we've
never met before.

I didn't realize who you were
until I checked the records.

You used your mother's
maiden name.

You are gregor and
jaden's son.

They were friends
of yours.

They were sorcerers.

They practiced magic,

and so did a lot of people
back then, gaius.

Uther will be furious when
he finds out who you are.

Fine.

Fine, shall we tell him?

Let's go and tell him.
Let's tell him.

Let's tell him everything.
Ooh!

I know.

We could also tell him
about merlin.

Merlin?

You didn't know he
was a sorcerer?

Tsk!

Ahh!

I wonder what
uther will do.

Probably have him burned.

You would betray
another sorcerer?

You did

when you turned a blind eye
and let my parents die

at the hands of uther!

At least merlin
doesn't have a son

who will try to
rescue him from the flames.

You're here
to take revenge?

And I have waited
a long time.

You think I will
sacrifice the king
to save merlin?

Think about it, gaius.

But if I find out that
you have told one other person,

including the boy,
I will go straight to uther.

I've got your provisions.

Oh, thank you,
merlin.

Gaius was just reminiscing
about old times.

Weren't you, gaius?

Yes.

But now, I must
get back to work.

I'd better get on
with my errands.

Yes, of course
you must.

- Do you want me to
get you anything?
- No, I'm fine.

Just do what
edwin asks.

I have been through
the court medical records

with a fine-toothed comb,
sire.

And were your findings
satisfactory?

With regret, I would
have to say they were not.

- How so?
- Gaius is a great man--

- thorough and dedicated...
- But?

( Sighs )
His methods are outdated;

he has failed to keep up
with the latest developments.

This has led to
a number of errors.

Gaius has served me
well for 25 years.

And one cannot blame him
for the infirmity

those years have brought.

Age can be
a terrible curse.

Perhaps it is time to
lighten his burdens.

Have you given any more
thought to my offer?

Yes.

I have considered it
very carefully.

Allow me some time
to do the same.

Uther, you can't
do this.

You heard what he said--
gaius is old.

- He makes mistakes.
- Gaius has treated me
since before I can remember.

You can't cast him out.

You would have died
if your care had been
left to him.

That's something I
could not bear.

- I know that, but--
- I cannot risk

something like this
happening again.

Hello!

It is me, gaius!

( Low grumbling )

How old a man
can become,

and yet changed
so little.

You have not
changed either.

20 years--
almost a lifetime

to make the short
journey back to where
you began.

I am not here
for myself.

The boy.

You know
about merlin?

You have struggled
against his destiny,

but you can no more
prevent it than he can.

- So it is true then?
- Oh, yes.

He and the young
pendragon one day

will unite the land
of albion.

But he is in danger.

No, it is my jailor
who stands in peril.

Must uther be sacrificed
for the boy?

Their time
cannot come

until his
has passed.

But is that time now?

( Chuckles )

That is of
your choosing.

I will not
choose between them.

Then turn a blind eye.

That is, after all,
your talent.

( Door opens )

Arthur:
Gaius?

My father needs
to speak to you.

- When?
- Immediately.

Sire, is there a problem?
Are you unwell?

This is not an ailment
you can treat me for.

You've been a loyal
servant for many years.

I look on you as a friend.

I regard you in
the same way, sire.

You've been here since
arthur's birth...

And all that entailed.

What I'm trying to do
I think is best for you.

I am confused, sire.

I'll give you
a generous allowance;

make sure
you're looked after.

- You're retiring me.
- I don't want you to worry.

I'll allow you to continue
living in your chambers

until more suitable
accommodation can be found.

Because I made
one mistake?

Although
in truth, sire,

it was not a mistake.

- It was--
- yes, gaius?

It was unfortunate.

I accept that.

May I ask who is to be
the next court physician?

None of this
was edwin's idea.

Initially, he
turned down the offer.

I'm sure.

It's not been
an easy decision.

But...

A younger man;
New ideas.

- Yes.
- You're hesitant.

Is there a reason
you oppose his appointment?

Sire--

edwin:
If you have anything to say,

then say it now,
gaius.

Uther:
This is difficult
for both of us.

I thank you for
your patronage.

It has been an honor
and a pleasure

to serve your family
for all these years.

Gaius, uther cannot
do this to you.

- You tried to save morgana.
- Uther's not to blame.

I will speak to edwin.
You can work together.

No, you mustn't
do anything.

I can't stand by
and do nothing.

Uther's right--
it's time I stepped down.

What are you doing?

I cannot stay when there's
no longer a use for me.

You're not leaving.

I believe it's
for the best.

Then I will come with you.

Merlin, you're like
a son to me.

I never expected
such a blessing
so late in life.

And you are more
than a father to me.

Then as a father,
I must tell you,

you must remain here.

Camelot is where
you belong.

- But you belong here too.
- Not anymore.

Merlin, you must
promise me you will
not waste your gifts.

My gifts mean nothing
without you to guide me.

You have a great destiny.

If I have had a small
part to play in that,

then I'm pleased.

There is so much
I have yet to learn.

I need you to teach me.

I'm afraid I am leaving
here tonight, merlin.

And there's nothing you
can do or say

that can persuade me
otherwise.

I will not
let this happen.

Goodbye, merlin.

( Door closes )

I can't understand why
uther would sack him
over one mistake.

( Men grunting )

A mistake that nearly
killed morgana.

Besides, it wasn't
the only one.

What do you mean?

Edwin said his work
was riddled with errors.

That's nonsense.

No one wants gaius to go,
but my father's made
his decision.

There's nothing
anyone can do.

I think you'll be
very happy here.

I'm sure I will.

When I reviewed
gaius's work,

I noticed that he's been
prescribing you arnica.

It's for my shoulder.
It's an old battle wound.

Gives me
a lot of pain.

May I take the liberty

of providing a new
prescription?

It should prove
far more effective.

- Really?
- Oh, yes.

It is a remedy
to cure all ills.

Gaius?

You're leaving?

Yes. I am sorry I didn't
come and say goodbye.

I don't want you
to go.

I don't trust edwin.

There was no blood
in morgana's ear;
He put it there.

He did something to her.
I know he did.

You need to be careful
who you say that to.

I'm saying it to you
because you can do
something about it.

- I can't.
- But you think
the same, don't you?

He's evil.

It's not that simple.

So you're going to
turn your back on us.

I have no choice.
I'm sorry, gwen.

In life, you always
have a choice.

Sometimes it's easier
to think that you don't.

Well, then,
my choice is to leave.

Then I'll miss you.

Goodbye, gaius.

( Bells dinging )

Ahh.

My lord?

( Moans )

My lord?

It seems the drugs
I gave you have taken hold.

Your body is now paralyzed.

Now open your eyes,
my lord.

I want my face

to be the last face
you ever see.

You took my childhood
from me.

And now finally,

I take my parents' revenge.

Within a few hours,

the beetle will eat
into your brain.

And you will suffer
as they suffered.

And I long
to hear you scream

as they screamed

the night you gave
the order

for the fires
to be lit.

With your death,

magic will
return to camelot.

( Incanting )

Goodbye,

uther pendragon.

I will not allow you
to kill uther.

You've never had a problem
letting people die before.

Your parents were
practicing dark magic,

just like you.

And how do you
propose to stop me?

( Incanting )

Hmm.
I think you meant...

( Incants )

You've forgotten
everything, gaius.

You're getting
too old.

I have a cure, though.

( Incants )

Merlin, my father has
morgana's illness!

We must find edwin!

What are you doing?

He was trying
to kill the king.
I couldn't let him.

I can rule the kingdom now,
with you at my side.

We can be all-powerful.

- Release him!
- It's your loss, merlin.

( Incants )

( Hatchet colliding,
edwin collapsing )

- Are you all right?
- Yes.

Thank you, merlin.

What are you doing?

Luther's ill--
the same thing morgana had.

Edwin said he used these
to cure morgana.

Maybe we can too.

Elanthia beetles.

- They're magical.
- Yes.

They can be enchanted
to enter the brain,

feed on it until they
devour the person's
very soul.

You must go to him.

Merlin:
How do we get the beetle
out before it kills him?

It can only
be magic.

We can't use magic on uther.
He'd kill us.

We don't
have a choice.

- Gaius!
- There are times

when it is
necessary.

It is your right.

I don't know how.

If you don't,

he's going
to die.

( Incanting )

What's happening?

( Rattling )

Has anyone ever told you

you're a genius?

You certainly haven't.

( Both chuckle )

Drink this. It'll help
regain your strength.

There's nothing wrong
with my strength.

Do you remember them--

his parents?

I remember them all, sire.

Gaius?

Once again, you've
saved my life.

You've always
served me well.

And I know there are things
that I've asked you to do

which you found
difficult.

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

I was not right
to betray you.

I'm sorry.

From now on,
I will remember

that in the fight
against magic,

you are the one person
I can trust.

I, my family,

and my kingdom are
deeply indebted to you.

And in honor of this,

I not only reinstate you
as court physician,

but henceforth
you are a free man

of camelot.

This is so ridiculous.
I didn't save uther;
You did.

No no, for once
I'm happy for someone else
to take the credit.

You were prepared to sacrifice
your life to save me.

Where did you
get that from?

I thought--

no, I didn't
do anything.

You saved me and
you saved uther.

Maybe you
are a genius.

You think so?

Well, almost.

One day.

( Gasping )

I saw arthur lying
underwater, drowning.

And there was a woman
standing over him,
watching him die.

We're dealing
with the sidhe.

That does not sound
like a good thing.

( Theme music playing )
