In a land of myth and a time of magic...

...the destiny of a great kingdom
rests on the shoulders of a young man.

His name: Merlin.

I was hoping
for more of a challenge.

There was a time
when the name Alator...

...struck fear into even
the most courageous.

His skills of torture was unparalleled.
Did you know that?

That was nothing to be proud of.

What was it you used to say?

The victim always talks...

-...eventually.
-What do you want from me?

I would have thought
that was obvious.

I want you to tell me
where Emrys is.

I told you before.

Never.

I was rather hoping
you'd say that.

This really is the most perfect spot,
is it not?

It is, my lord.

I sometimes forget
how beautiful Camelot is.

Mmm.

But never how
beautiful my queen is.

Was that you, Merlin?

It was the horse.

Because if you were mocking your king--

I wasn't. I wouldn't.

There's a special punishment
reserved for such impudence.

You're too easy, Merlin.
Every time.

How about here, Guinevere?

Yes, it looks perfect.

Then here it shall be.

Here?

I haven't seen him this happy
in a long time.

Yes.

He has changed, hasn't he?

Yeah.

Yeah, I think he has.

Sorry.

Fill that up, will you, Merlin?

Well, perhaps he's not totally changed.

And this one too, ready?

Sire.

I think my dog can
catch better than you.

Possibly because
you treat him better.

Are you blind?

Something happened here.

It's stags marking their territory.

No. This was
caused by magic.

Merlin, who knows more
about hunting, me or you?

It's rutting season. Half the trees
in the forest look like that.

Come on, your king awaits.

What happened?

They sought sanctuary
at the western garrison.

Ashwick's been at peace
since my father's time.

They're not from Ashwick.

They fled over the border
from Odin's lands.

Two days ago,
the city of Helva was attacked.

Only a handful of people
managed to escape.

Who is responsible?

At first, we assumed
it was the Saxons.

They've been active
in that area before...

...but the refugees
tell a different story.

They say magic was involved.

Morgana?

All the evidence
would suggest so, sire.

Strengthen the garrison.
Double the patrol on the border.

Sire.

Why would Morgana attack Helva?

She must have her reasons.

That's one of the places
where magic is practiced freely.

Why would she attack her own?

Makes no sense.

The workmanship is undeniable.

See how the pattern repeats
in each concentric circle.

-It's made in Helva.
-Anything else? Name or date?

Not that I can see.

It's a fine piece.

No one would part with it willingly.
Perhaps one of the refugees dropped it.

Hmm.

Perhaps.

-Merlin, what are you up to?
-I'm going back to where I found it.

Doubt if the owner will still be there.

Well, something terrible
happened there, Gaius.

Something only the strongest
magic could do.

I could feel it.

You're not suggesting that Morgana's
within Camelot's borders?

Who else could it be?

-Don't go, Merlin. Not on your own.
-I'll be fine.

Take someone with you at least.

-If it is Morgana--
-Then it won't make any difference...

...who I take, will it?

You shouldn't have gone.

It might have been a trap.

Can you decipher it?

It's in Catha, that's for sure.

What does it say?

It's so long since I heard the language,
never mind read it.

There's part of a signature here.

What is it?

Alator.

That's why Morgana attacked Helva.

Alator was the prize
she was after.

But why risk
so much for one man?

It can only be one reason:

To have him reveal who Emrys is.

Alator would never betray me.

Not willingly.

But Morgana will use
every power she has to break him...

...and even Cathas cannot
resist forever.

Enough.

Hello again, Alator.

You're wasting your time, Morgana.

I will not tell you who Emrys is.

We both know that's not true.

Otherwise why would I
have spared your life?

I am a Catha...

...trained from birth...

...to master all physical pain...

-...to rise above--
-Yes, yes.

You can resist any physical torture...

...separate your mind from your body.

That's all very impressive, Alator.

But you see, it's not your body
I'm interested in.

Not even you can separate
your mind from your mind.

Do you recognize this?

I see that you do.

-A nathair.
-That's right, Alator.

A nathair.

Can cause the most
exquisite pain...

...not in the body of the victim,
but in his very soul.

So I ask you again,
where is Emrys?

Shh.

What are you doing?

I'm gonna surprise her.
Breakfast in bed.

Oh.
What a lovely thought.

Where are you going?

You don't need me, do you?

I can't very well go and
get the breakfast, can I?

What if she wakes up
and... panics?

Panics?

Look, just go and get it, all right?

Merlin?

Flowers.
Don't forget the flowers.

Of course. The personal touch.

-Nice.
-Yeah.

Be still.

The great battle is nearing.

You must listen to me, Emrys.

How do you know my name?

Arthur's enemies are closer
than you think.

If you value your king...

...meet me tonight at
the old temple of Erui.

Come alone...

...or not at all.

-Merlin!
-What?

Where are the flowers?

Arthur.

Good morning.

-That is so sweet.
-It's nothing.

Who's there?

Merlin. What do you think you're doing...

...in the royal chambers?

I thought, um...

...I heard voices.

Maybe next time you'll
be good enough to knock.

Yes, sire.

Merlin?

Thank you.

It was my idea.

If it's what I think it is,
this is the mark of the Bendrui.

Bendrui?

Before the time of the great purge...

...girls would be chosen at birth
for the priesthood.

They'd be taken away from their families
and brought up as initiates in the old religion.

I thought Morgana was
the only high priestess left.

Many tried, few succeeded...

...for ordinary gifts were not enough.

For only those possessed
of exceptional magical power...

...could ever hope to
be one of the nine.

But do not underestimate
this woman's abilities.

All bendrui are practiced
and potent magic.

She said...

...Arthur's enemies were
closer than I thought.

Now, who else could
she mean but Mordred?

If she meant Mordred, why not say so?

We were interrupted.

She's drawing you in, Merlin.

It's a trap.

She knew your real name.

There's only one explanation for that:

Alator told Morgana who you really are...

...and she has sent this woman...

...to lure you to her.

But I looked into her eyes.
She meant no harm.

You think a sorceress of her power
couldn't feign any look she wished?

I was there, Gaius.

You were not.

You mustn't go to her, Merlin.

She can help me protect Arthur.
Do I have a choice?

Don't you understand?

If something happened to you,
we would all be lost.

But if she can truly help me
protect Arthur from Mordred...

...and I refuse to go...

...would all not be lost then too?

Merlin.

It was I who told Alator...

...your true identity.

You had no choice.

And I cannot let that destroy you.

If ever you held me
in any regard...

...please do not do this.

You know I'd never do
anything to hurt you, Gaius.

Thank you.

Morgana Pendragon.

Yes?

Gaius.

Sire.

Is something wrong?

I fear so.

Come, Gaius.
You obviously have something to tell me.

There'll be no secrets between us.

There is a special bond
between a doctor and his patient...

...one might almost say
a bond of sacred confidentiality.

I believe so.

And yet, is there not also a loyal bond
between a subject and his king?

There can be no greater duty.

A patient has advised me
that within the walls of Camelot...

there is a follower of the old religion.

It is my belief that this woman
poses a threat not only to the kingdom...

...but to you yourself.

I see.

Does she have a name?

All I know is...

...she practices her craft at night...

...in the darkling woods
by the ruined temple of Erui.

You did the right thing, Gaius.
Thank you.

It's not funny.

It's not funny at all.

No one is laughing. It's just childish.

You're right. It's stupid.

Here.

Gentlemen.

Oh, we were just--

No matter.

Mordred.
I've got a task for you.

Your favorite.

Do you not want it?

No, of course I do.
Thank you, Gaius.

You're not still thinking about
that woman in the forest, are you?

It's for the best, Merlin.

Really. It is.

-Great one.
-Please, that's not necessary.

It is an honor to meet you, Emrys.

How did you know my name?

From my master, Alator of the Catha.

He sends you greetings.

But also a warning.

The great battle nears.

The fate of Camelot
rests in the balance.

Only you, great Emrys...

...can ensure the triumph of
the once and future king.

How do I do that?

Quickly.

Seize them!

-Go.
-I cannot leave you.

Unh!

I'll find you.
You have my word. Go.

You saw her, but you lost her?

She used magic, sire.

Even so, there are
how many of you, six?

-Against one old woman?
-There were two of them, sire.

Oh, well, that explains it.

Mordred, who was the other?

We couldn't see.

But they were in earnest conversation, sire.
That much we could tell.

All right, send out a second patrol.

Seal off the ford at Greinton
and alert the border garrisons.

They must be found and brought to trial.

Sire.

I told Arthur
because I was worried about you, Merlin.

She was working for Alator,
not Morgana.

-How was I to know that?
-Because I told you.

I'm sorry, Merlin.
I thought it was for the best.

Now, because of me,
her life's in danger.

No.

Not you.

Me.

I acted like a foolish old man.

No, never that.

But I have to go now.

I must find out
why she would risk her life for me.

Take care, Merlin.

You continue to waste
your time, Morgana.

I am a Catha priest.

And you think that will protect you?

No matter what you do...

...you cannot break me.

So it would seem.

In which case I have
no further use for you.

You think I fear death?

Shall I let you into
a secret, Alator?

I'm no longer interested
in what you think or what you fear.

I shall pass to the other world...

...happy in the knowledge
that you will never find Emrys.

He is your destiny, Morgana.

And he is your doom.

Mistress.

What now?

We found a letter in his cell.

Show me.

"Do not fear, Alator,
I have found Emrys.

Our sacred mission continues.

Your faithful servant, Finna."

You poor fool, Alator.

Undone by a few scribbled words.

Find this Finna.
Bring her to me. Alive.

I will break her, Alator.

Break her like a twig.

How does it feel to know
all your resistance was for nothing?

Enjoy your other world.

Herbs?

You were looking for herbs?

Gaius is very particular.

They have to be fresh
or the power's diminished.

Hardly the time and the place
to be gathering herbs.

You were grateful enough for them
when Gaius cured your palsy.

-It wasn't palsy.
-I was being polite.

There's a dangerous
sorcerer at large, Merlin.

Not to mention Saxons.

This is not the place to be alone.

I'll be fine. I'll just...

...collect the rest of my herbs
and I'll be on my way.

No.

All right.

I'll head back.

We can't allow that either.

You're staying with us, Merlin.

Until the sorcerer's apprehended.

Well, thank you.

-What news?
-The hounds have picked up the woman's trail.

-How far?
-Less than a mile.

We've lost her.

Should we split up?
Some of us track back.

It's getting dark.
We'll be sitting targets for the Saxons.

We'll start again
at first light.

Good morning.

Though technically,
I think it's still night.

-I was just going for a--
-Relieving yourself?

Yeah.

You always put your boots on
to do that, do you?

I don't like splinters.

You weren't collecting
herbs either, were you?

You don't have to explain
yourself to me, Merlin.

If you're willing to risk your life,
it must be important.

It is.

A problem shared.

I understand.

I'll tell them I escorted you
back to the bridge.

Thank you.

Merlin?

Be careful.

We've lost the trail.
She could have gone anywhere.

Fan out.

Wait.

This way.

Finna.

Oh, master.

Please don't.

I thought I'd lost you.

You doubted me?

Never.

Aah!

Lie back.

They won't be alone.

Morgana must not find you.

Where can we go?

There's an old watchtower on
the other side of the valley.

Can you walk?

Yeah. Yeah, I think so.

It's not far.

It's safe. You ready?

Yeah.

There are no wounds.

There wouldn't be.

She's been hit.

Bring your men.

How do you know this tower?

When you've spent a lifetime running...

...you know all the places to hide.

Running from... Arthur?

And from his father before him.

Oh...

It won't always be like this.

Things will be better.

That is why I was sent...

...to help you make it so.

Why are you doing this for me?

Without you, Emrys, Arthur cannot
build a new world we all long for.

I don't understand.

For hundreds of years, the Catha
have guarded their ancient knowledge.

But now the time has come
to pass it on to you, Emrys.

For only you can carry their hopes
into the great battle itself.

How can I do that?

Here.

Guard it carefully.

It will help you
in the dark days to come.

Thank you.

I want her taken alive,
do you understand? Alive.

There is something else, something
Alator himself wanted me to tell you.

Do not make the same mistake as Arthur.

Do not trust the druid boy.

You must go on.

-There's nowhere to go.
-There is a roof.

-You will be safe there.
-How?

They think I am alone.

Once they have me, they will go.

I won't leave you, Finna.
We fight them together.

No.

If Morgana sees us together,
she will know who you are.

That must never happen.

-Finna, please.
-It is my destiny, Emrys.

To serve you until the end.

I could wish for nothing more.

Grant me one favor.

-Anything.
-Leave me your sword.

No.

It has been a privilege...

...to know you, Emrys.

Finna.

At last.

I'm impressed.

Your age, it's very spirited.

Stay away.

But with age also comes wisdom.

It's over.

Tell me who Emrys is.

Never.

Burn the body.

Get the horses!

Thank you.

It is my pleasure.

For a second there,
I thought you weren't coming.

I would never forsake you,
young warlock.

You all right?

Of course.

Your wing.

I am tired, Emrys.
That is all.

But I shall serve you as long
as I have the strength.

If you're ill, I can heal you.

There are some things even a warlock
as great as you cannot overcome.

I am old, Emrys.

My time has almost come.

No.

It is the cycle of life. No more, no less.

What will I do without you?

You will remember me.

Will I see you again?

What does it say?

Just a moment.

"Let loose the hounds of war.

And let the dread fire of the last priestess...

...rain down from angry skies...

...for brother will slaughter brother...

...for friend will murder friend...

...as the great horn sounds a cold dawn
at Camlann.

The prophets do not lie.

There, Arthur will meet his end...

...upon that mighty plain."

So many have...

...suffered so that I may hear this.

Yes.

I think I know what's going
through your mind, Merlin.

That your destiny's almost too much
for one man to bear.

Yeah.

You always did
know me best, Gaius.

Be assured of one thing.

There was never anyone
more capable than you, Merlin.

You will not fail.

We got here as fast as we could.

You did well.

Where did this happen?

Well, we found him
just inside the border.

Merlin, fetch my glass, please.

-Do you know what it is?
-I fear so.

The skin has grown across his face
until he suffocated.

Gaius?

The disfigurement is not as a result
of disease or infection.

It is the result of powerful magic.

In the old days,
there was a punishment...

...known as "Ragaid"...

...the ultimate warning
from the high priestess...

...to her enemies.

Why was this knight chosen?
What had he done?

He'd done nothing...

...except be a knight of Camelot.

It's a warning, sire.

A warning to the whole kingdom.

Morgana has declared war.

You know if Arthur catches her,
she'll be killed.

This time you've gone too far.
You'll pay, Merlin.
