Dragon: In a land ofmyth
and a time of magic,

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

His name, Merlin.

(Horse whinnies)

- Boo!
- Ohl

- did I surprise you?
- You certainly did!

I've got another surprise for you, too.

(Tom chuckles)

It's lovely.

In case you ever need a spare,

you know,

for this.

It's beautiful!

But you're a beautiful girl, Gwen.
You deserve beautiful things.

But how? I mean...

It must have been expensive.

Oh, very. But we're on the up now.

Things are going to be different.

What's going on?

It will be all right. Trust me.

I won't be back for supper.

(Bird caws)

Hello?

(Wind howling)

Tau ren: Is it prepared?

Yes.

Look.

Tauren: Very good.

What is that?

I'm not paying you to ask questions.

The lead, please.

(Chanting)

You didn't say anything about magic.
I don't want any trouble.

(Continues chanting)

(High-pitched ringing)

(Chanting)

Gold?

Pure, priceless gold.

(Sizzling)

Yours, blacksmith,
if you keep your mouth shut.

Seize them!

Quickly, after him!

Guard: Stop!
Arthur: He must be caught.

Guard: Stop that man.

Tom: Sire, please...

You're under arrest.

Gaius: Can't sleep?

Something woke me.

What?

I don't know.

A feeling.

What kind of feeling?

Powerful magic. Here, in Camelot.

(Door opening)

Gwen! What's wrong?

My father's been arrested.

Arrested? What for?

They say he was
making weapons for a sorcerer.

They're charging him with treason.

- Treason?
- Yes, morgana. Treason.

The blacksmith was consorting
with a known enemy.

- Enemy? What enemy?
- Arthur: Tauren.

The leader of a band
of renegade sorcerers

sworn to bring down the king.

And where is this tauren now?

He escaped.

Well, then how can you be sure?

Because Arthur saw him
with his own eyes.

Even if the man is who you say he is,

you can't sentence Tom to death
for just being seen with him.

We have reason to believe
he was forging weapons for tauren.

Rubbish!
He would never do such a thing.

Every man has a price.

Found this on the blacksmith.

So, he was paid!

He's a blacksmith. He could've been paid

- for shoeing tauren's horse!
- In gold?

This is madness.
You condemn a man with no proof.

I have enough proof.

Arthur, have you nothing to say?

Father, the blacksmith
committed a crime,

but we don't know for certain
he meant treason.

No, you are right. Nothing's certain.

Save one thing.
The law stands or this kingdom falls.

But the law must give him a fair trial.

He'll get a fair trial

and he'll be found guilty
'cause that's what he is.

You execute Gwen's father,
and I will never forgive you.

Never.

Maybe we should investigate further.

Tauren slept somewhere,
he fed somewhere.

Find anyone who helped him in any way.
They must be punished.

The people must see the laws of Camelot
are not to be trifled with.

Yes, father.

Tom: I didn't know tauren was
a sorcerer. I meant no harm, I swear.

Gwen: Why didn't you tell me
what was going on?

Tom: I knew you wouldn't like it, Gwen.
You're cautious.

I didn't want to let
an opportunity pass...

Opportunity?

You call this an opportunity?

(Sighs) I know.

I've been a fool.

(Exhales)

I just wanted to make
a better life for us.

Foryou.

I wanted to make you happy.

But I am happy!

I don't need anything else.

I have everything I want.

And I've thrown it all away.

It's all right.

We will get you out of here, I promise.

What did he say?

He said tauren came
to him at the forge,

offered to pay a fortune for his help.

Not to make weapons.

For an experiment or something.

What kind of experiment?

Tauren didn't say.
But he used some kind of stone.

Some kind of magic.

She's sleeping now.

I don't understand it.

What would a sorcerer want with Tom?

His forge, Merlin.
It's the finest in the kingdom.

You think Tom was lying?

You think he really was making weapons?

- No, I don't.
- Then what?

When Tom was arrested,
they found gold on him.

From what Gwen was saying,

tauren's experiment bears
all the hallmarks of alchemy.

Alchemy's impossible, isn't it?

To change the very nature
of one thing to another

has defeated all who have tried.

But if you used magic.

Do you think that's what woke me?

It's possible, I suppose.

(Rooster crows)

Gwen?

Gwen?

Gwen?

(High-pitched ringing)

(Door creaks open)

- Merlin.
- Morgana?

How is she?

She's doing okay.

Morgana: We should let her rest.

Morgana, have you spoken to uther?

He must realize this is a mistake.
Whatever Tom was doing,

it wasn't plotting against the king.

I know that. Of course I do.

But, uther...

Uther only sees enemies.

But Tom is the most gentle soul
I've ever met.

But he was seen with tauren.
That makes him an enemy.

Then, there's little hope?

There's no hope, Merlin.

None at all.

Arthur?

(Gates opening)

I bring you no relief, Tom. I'm sorry.

I came only to see
you were comfortable.

- How's Gwen?
- She's a brave girl.

She wishes only to see you free.

I know what uther thinks about sorcery.

- I'm a dead man, aren't I?
- I cannot see the future,

only the present,

and one must always seize the moment.

Good luck.

- They're to be executed?
- Yes, Merlin.

- By order of the king?
- They committed a very serious crime.

- Giving a man a bed for the night?
- Not a man. A sorcerer.

Maybe they didn't know that.

It is not for you to
question my father's actions.

Is that understood?

Yes, sire.

Now go. Get on with whatever
you're meant to be doing.

(Thunder rumbling)

(Footsteps receding)

Sound the warning bell!

(Bells tolling)

He's just proved his guilt.
You will kill him on sight.

- But the trial, father.
- The trial is a formality.

Now, I want him dead. And an end to it.

(Clanging)

Please.

Kill him.

Gwen: No!

(Sobbing) No! Father!

(Sobbing)

No! Father!

You have blood on your hands,
uther pendragon.

Blood that will never wash off!

May I remind you
that you are speaking to your king?

May I remind you
that a king is wise and just?

You are neither.
You rule only with the sword.

You know nothing
of what it means to be king.

The fate of Camelot rests in my hands.

It's my responsibility to
protect the people of this land

from its enemies.

Then the kingdom is doomed.

One by one, you make enemies of us all.

You speak treason, morgana.

Only a mad man hears the truth
as treason.

Take care, child,
or I'll have you restrained.

You just try.

And you will remain here
until you learn your lesson.

Then release me
because I have learned it already.

That you care not for me,
nor anyone, but yourself.

That you're driven mad with power.

That you are a tyrant.

(Chains clinking)

(Door opening)

All right?

I still don't understand.
Why did he try to escape?

His trial was this morning.

(Knocking on door)

Sire.

Guinevere, I want you to know
that your job is safe.

And that your home is yours for life.

I guarantee you that.

I know that under the circumstances,

it's not much, but

anything you want, anything you need,

all you have to do is ask.

I'm sorry.

Thank you, sire.

(Thunder rolling)

I want the stone.

Where is it?

I don't know what you're talking about.
I don't know anything.

Now, you listen to me.

In two days' time,

I'll be at the darkling woods at dawn.

You find the stone,

you bring it to me,

or you will die.

Do I make myself clear?

(Muffled) Mmm-hmm.

Merlin, come and take a look.

I've been doing some research
and found this.

The mage stone?

Wonder of the ancients.
Lost for a thousand years or more.

What does it do?

Theoretically, it could give the bearer

the power of transformation.

Gold.

The power of alchemy.

Exactly.

I believe it was the mage stone
you sensed on the night of Tom's arrest.

Of course!

Gwen said that tauren had
some kind of stone.

(Door opening)

You.

How proud you must be.

Son of the mighty uther.

How you must look up to him.

Does the king's little
helper bring a message,

or have you just come to gloat?

Guards!

Get away from me, you cowards!

You're free to go.

Morgana?

Yes?

I swore to him you'd never challenge
his authority again.

I swore that you'd learned your lesson.

Tread carefully.

Next time, I may not
be able to help you.

Thank you.

You're a better man than your father.

Always were.

My lady?

Gwen.

I didn't expect to see you here.

- What happened to you?
- Nothing.

Well, nothing a hot bath wouldn't fix.

I spent the night in the dungeon.

Uther.

He doesn't like to be challenged.

It wasn't about my father, was it?

You've enough to deal with
without worrying about such things.

You shouldn't have done that.

Not on my behalf.

If anything happened to you,
I couldn't bear it.

You need to go home, Gwen.

Get some rest, please.

I'm fine, my lady.

I insist.

Gwen?

- Gwen?
- I can't go home.

It's understandable to feel so alone.

Tauren.

Tauren?

He attacked me. He threatened me.

He was looking for some kind of stone.

A stone?

He said if I didn't bring it to him,
he'd kill me.

He's waiting for me
in the darkling woods.

I have to do something.

If I don't get this stone to him
by dawn tomorrow...

What are you going to do?

I'm going to send the guards,
of course.

It won't be you that tauren meets.
It will be the knights of Camelot.

(High-pitched ringing)

- Where's your maid?
- I have come in her place.

- Kill her.
- No, wait. I brought the stone!

What else have you brought, my lady?
The knights of Camelot?

Morgana: I came alone.
I promise you.

Give me the stone.

You were foolish to come here.

I had no quarrel with your maid.

But you, my lady morgana.

You are uther's ward.

If you kill me, you'll regret it.

Why's that?

- Because I want uther dead, too.
- You? An enemy of the king?

And I'm to believe that?

Why else would I be here?

I can only guess at your motives,
my lady.

You could be a spy for all I know.

And this?

Is it usual for uther to chain
his friends to a dungeon wall?

The stone.

You took it to the forge. Why?

With it, a man can alter
the very essence of things.

He can turn a lump of lead into gold.

Gold? A good man died
in your quest for riches, tauren.

His daughter is now an orphan.

I'm sorry for that. Truly.

But we did not want the gold
to line our pockets.

The gold was but a means.

A means to rid this kingdom
of uther pendragon once and for all.

What are you saying?

Bribery is rife at Camelot.

I will use the corruption
at the heart of his kingdom,

and such abundance of gold
will buy me into the king's chambers.

Even to the king himself.

The guards may be fools, tauren,
but the king is not.

Do you have a better plan?

To get to uther,
you need someone close to him.

And you know of such a person?

I do.

Gaius: Pass the salt, please.

- You all right?
- What?

Yeah. Just got a few things
on my mind, that's all.

Anything you'd like
to talk to me about?

I can't imagine you'd be interested.

So long as you're sure.

I should be getting to work.

Uh, Merlin?

That's a broom cupboard.

(Clears throat)

Well, young warlock,
what is it you come to ask of me?

I need your help.

Of course you do,

but this time, will you heed my words?

The sorcerer tauren
is plotting to kill the king.

He's made an ally of morgana.

I don't know what to do!

Do nothing.

What do you mean?

If I do nothing, uther will die.

Don't you want uther dead?

It is uther that persecutes
you and your kind, Merlin.

It is uther that
murders the innocent...

But surely that
doesn't make it right to kill him.

Only if uther dies
can magic return to the land.

Only if uther dies,
will you be free, Merlin.

Uther's reign is at an end.

Let Arthur's reign begin.

Fulfill your destiny.

Wait!

Where does it say
my destiny includes murder?

Free this land from tyranny, Merlin.

Free us all!

(Door opening)

I didn't expect to see you.

You wish to say something?

I came to apologize, my lord.

Good.

I didn't mean to rile you.

I thought only of Gwen.

Poor girl's all alone in the world.

Not my intention to hurt your maid.

I know.

But now she suffers.

- And I know how she must suffer.
- Morgana...

I only meant...
I know what it's like to lose a father.

That was a terrible day.
Your father was a great friend.

I had no part in his death.

You sent him into battle.

You promised him reinforcements
and then gave him none.

You sent him to his death.

That is not true.

It was never my intention.

But it happened!

And it keeps on happening.

Morgana.

I'm sorry, my lord.

Do you think uther's a good king?

Sorry?

(Clears throat)

Uther.
Do you think he's good for the kingdom?

Yes. Yes, I do.

In the light of recent events,
you may find that hard to believe.

Hard? No.
Impossible? Definitely.

- Merlin...
- Everyone hates him.

It's not uther's job to be liked.

It is uther's job
to protect the kingdom.

Most of his methods are right.
Sometimes he may go too far.

Really? You mean, like executing anyone

who even passes
a sorcerer on the street?

Yes.

Despite uther's failings,

he has brought peace and prosperity
to this kingdom.

But at what cost?

At the cost of women and children,
fathers and sons.

When will it end?

It will end when Arthur is king.

Then why not let that time be now?

Why not let Arthur be king?

Arthur's not ready.

The responsibility would be too great.

Brave though he may be,
he lacks experience, he lacks judgment.

Is there anything you want to tell me?

Ican't. I just... no, ican't.

You've just got to trust me.

Gaius, it's something
I've got to work out for myself.

I do trust you, Merlin.

Whatever it is,
I know you'll make the right decision.

Morgana.

I'm not disturbing you, I hope.

Not at all.

These are difficult times.

They put a strain on us all.

Yes, my lord.

I cannot tell you how much it pains me
to be at odds with you.

And I, with you.

I've been thinking about what you said.

And I realize,

I may have been insensitive.

I should have foreseen the distress
that your maid's loss would cause you.

That it would stir old memories.

I've opened an old wound.
And for that I'm sorry.

My lord, it gladdens my heart
to hear these words.

I, too, wish to heal these wounds.

Let us visit my father's grave
together and put the past behind us.

Nothing would give me greater happiness.

Shall we leave tomorrow at first light?

I will make arrangements.

Psst!

So, my lady, what news?

Uther's fallen for the bait.

We ride out in the morning
for the old cairn on the hill.

Are you sure you're committed to this?

More than ever, I want uther dead.
As much as you.

As much as anyone
in this rotten kingdom of his.

Then the deed is as good as done.

Merlin?

Gwen.

How are you doing?

I was about to ask you
the same question.

I'm fine. Fine.

Gwen: Morgana's been amazing
these last few days.

I think you've been amazing.

After this all has happened,

getting your life back together.

It's better than sitting
in an empty house,

waiting for my father
to walk through the door.

The thing I find hardest to bear

is that people will always think he
was guilty because he tried to escape.

I know he was innocent.

I think he tried to escape
because he knew

that whatever he said or did,
he'd be killed.

Uther had already made up his mind.

That's the kind of man he is.

I wouldn't blame you
if you wanted him dead.

If uther died, I'd feel nothing.

He means nothing to me.

But if you had, you know,
the choice, what would you do?

If you had the power of life
and death over uther,

would you kill him for what he did?

What would that solve?

That would make me a murderer.

That would make me as bad as him.

You're right.

Of course, you're right.

- Is anything wrong?
- No, no. See you later.

Do you think
that we could have some privacy?

Fine. Wait here. We're in no danger.

Guard: Fine.

(Merlin panting)

Father.

(Speaks incantation)

Your father was the greatest man
I've ever known.

He stood for everything
this kingdom represents.

Truth, justice, valor.

A hundred times, he saved my life
on the battlefield.

His courage and his honor
were without equal.

When gorlois died, I lost
the truest friend I ever had.

For he was as fearless
in questioning my judgment

as he was in defending my kingdom.

That's the Mark of a true friend.

I know how he respected you, my lord.

But I don't share these memories.

How can I? I was 10 years old.

I only know I loved him.
And he was taken from me.

When he died
and I took you into my care,

you fought me from the beginning.

Your will is as strong as my own.

You challenge me as a friend must,
as your father did in his time.

And when I do, you clap me in irons.

I know I'm not an easy man.
My temper blinds me sometimes.

There are things that I regret.

Gwen's father?

Yes.

Are you saying you were wrong
to have Tom killed?

Yes.

(Chanting)

Uther: I will strive to listen
to you more and quarrel with you less.

You have been a blessing to me, morgana.
You are the daughter I never had.

Your counsel is invaluable,
as is your friendship and your love.

Without you, I cannot hope
to be the king this land deserves.

- My lord...
- Please forgive me, morgana.

Die, uther pendragon!

(Sword slicing)

(Breathing heavily)

- Gaius: Ah! Busy day?
- It had its moments.

I hear that tauren tried
to assassinate uther.

- That's what I hear.
- And that morgana saved him.

How many men were there? Three? Four?

- Something like that.
- Morgana must have shown

extraordinary courage to have defended
the king against such odds.

Isuppose,
you had nothing to do with it?

You know, just background stuff.

No need to be so modest, Merlin.

- Sorry.
- It's not a criticism.

It's a compliment.

Right.

Thanks, Gaius.

Somebody help me.

(Screams)

Please, Merlin.
This is only the beginning.

You should not have killed my friend.
