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.

Merlin! Spear.

Do you have any
natural gifts, Merlin?

No. Let me think.

I'm not naturally
rude or insensitive.

Just naturally irritating.

(Animal grunting)

It's probably
more scared of you than you are of it.

(Growling)

(Roaring)

- Have we lost it?
- Who's missing?

Where's sir bedivere?

(Sir bedivere screaming)

The creature you describe has all the
characteristics of the questing beast.

- Surely that's a myth.
- According to the old books

the appearance of
the questing beast

is supposed to foreshadow
a time of great upheaval.

Gaius,
that's an old wives' tale.

Look, whatever it is,
it is spreading panic.

The people fear
that it will enter the city.

Then we must kill it.
Arthur, gather the guard together,

you ride at dawn.

I beg you, sire, do not dismiss
this. The beast is an omen.

I have seen it come before,

the night your wife, ygraine,
passed away.

I've told you not to speak
of that night again.

I have conquered
the old religion.

Its warnings mean
nothing to me now.

Arthur will destroy this beast
and we no longer suffer at its hand.

- This is no ordinary beast, Merlin.
- Don't worry.

No, listen to me.
You don't understand.

Uther may not respect the old religion,
but it is very real.

To face a beast such as this
you must understand where it came from.

- What do you mean?
- At the very heart of the old religion

lies the magic of life
and death itself.

The questing beast
carries that power.

One bite, you die,
and there is no cure.

(Thunder rolls)

(Screaming)

Morgana! Morgana! Wake up!

- No! No!
- It's me, it's Gwen! Stop it.

It was just another dream.

- (Sobbing) It was terrifying.
- It's all right.

You've seen the foe we face.
It is a creature of nightmare.

But you are the best knights
in the realm.

We can and we will kill it

before it harms
another citizen of our kingdom.

For the love of Camelot!

Knights:
For the love of Camelot!

Arthur!

(Morgana sniffling)

- Morgana, what are you doing?
- You cannot face it.

Morgana, go back to bed.
There is nothing to be afraid of.

Please, Arthur, I have seen
terrible things, you cannot go...

She probably had a bad dream, sire.
I'll take her to see Gaius.

No, I will not let you go.

- Please, Merlin, get her inside.
- No!

I will make sure
he is safe, my lady. I promise.

No! No!

Let's follow the trail.

(Creature growling)

Keep close.

(Low growling)

(Hissing)

- What is it?
- Shh.

(Rumbling)

(Roaring)

(Yelling)

(Chanting)

It didn't bite you, did it?

Arthur!

Somebody help me!

(Echoing)

What's happened?

- He's been bitten.
- I tried to save him.

You must tell the king.

- There must be something you can do.
- I wish there was.

- I'll find a cure.
- Merlin.

Trust me.

Can you hear me, sire?

- Here.
- The king will be here any moment.

He can't die.
It is my destiny to protect him.

We haven't done all the things
we're meant to do!

- That is the lament of all men.
- Gaius, he's my friend.

Then save him.

(Chanting)

(Chanting)

Maybe the spells need time
to take effect.

The bite of the questing beast
is a death sentence...

- Uther: Where is the prince?
- That no magic can overturn.

Where's my son?

Arthur!

- Do something, Gaius.
- I am trying, your majesty.

Gaius will find a cure.
He will not let him die.

I will do
everything in my power.

I will bear him to his chambers.

(Sniffling)

I have failed Arthur,
failed in my destiny.

And yet you would not be here
if that were true.

He was bitten by
the questing beast. He's going to die.

- Does he still breathe?
- Onlyjust.

Then there is
still time to heal him.

I've tried, I cannot save him.

You do not know how to save him.

- But you can tell me how?
- Perhaps.

- It will not be easy.
- I will do anything.

- Anything?
- Please, just tell me what I have to do!

Very well.

The questing beast is a creature

conjured by the powers
of the old religion.

You must use the same
ancient magic to save him.

The old religion died out
centuries ago.

The old religion
is the magic of the earth itself.

It is the essence
which binds all things together.

It will last long beyond
the time of men.

But how can that
help me save Arthur?

You must find those
who still serve it.

Those who hold dominion
over life and death.

- Where?
- Go to the place

that men call
the isle of the blessed

where the power
of the ancients can still be felt.

There you will discover
Arthur's salvation.

Thank you. Thank you.

And, Merlin.

The young pendragon must live,
no matter what the cost.

Merlin. You're back.
I need your help.

You must get this to Arthur
to ease his passing.

- No. We have to save him.
- You've already tried.

The beast comes from the old religion,
the cure must come from there as well.

There are not many left
with such an art.

You said yourself
the old religion is still alive.

There's an island
beyond the white mountains...

The isle of the blessed.
You know it?

It was said to be the center
of the old religion,

- the focus of its power.
- Why did you keep this from me?

Because it was too dangerous,
Merlin.

It's our only chance.
I have to find it.

And once you are there,
what will you ask?

For Arthur to be saved.

The questing beast chose Arthur.

That means the old religion
has decided his fate.

Then I will convince them
to change their minds.

It is not that simple!

The high priests have the
power to mirror life and death.

But, there will be a price to pay.

They will demand a life in return.

Merlin, please, I beg of you.

I'm sorry, Gaius.

Whatever the price is,
I will pay it gladly.

Here, you will need a map.

And I'm going to give you this.

My mother gave it to me.

- It's a rabbit's foot.
- To keep you safe?

It was said to
help protect you from evil spirits.

It's rubbish.
I don't believe in superstition.

- I don't know why I gave it to you.
- No.

I want it.

Thank you.

You've got to
keep Arthur alive until I get back.

(Horse whinnies)

(Arthur grunting)

Sleep, Arthur.

Dragon: You must travel to the place
that men call the isle of the blessed,

beyond the white mountains,
through the valley of the fallen kings.

To the north
of the great seas of meredor,

you will find a lake.

Gwen: Gaius.

You should get some rest.

- He must not be left alone.
- I will nurse him.

You're not going to die, Arthur.

I'm telling you.

Because I know that one day
you will be king,

a greater king
than your father could ever be.

It's what keeps me going.

You are going to live to be the
man I've seen inside you, Arthur.

I can see a Camelot
that is fair and just.

I can see a king
that the people will love

and be proud to
call their sovereign.

For the love of Camelot,

you have to live.

Gaius: Is there anything I can get,
your majesty?

The people have
begun to say goodbye.

- He is not yet gone, sire.
- But he will not recover.

Not without a miracle.

I don't believe in miracles.

(Chanting)

- Hello?
- Nimueh: Hello, Merlin.

- You?
- Do you know who I am?

Nimueh.

You can't be who
the dragon meant.

And why is that?

- You tried to kill me.
- Before I understood your importance.

And Arthur?

Arthur was never destined
to die at my hand.

And now it seems
I will be his salvation.

So you know what I
have come to ask?

- Yes.
- Will you do it?

I do not have the power
to mirror life itself

and yet give nothing in return.

I know that
a price will be asked.

To save a life,
there must be a death.

The balance of the world
must be restored.

I willingly give my
life for Arthur's.

How brave you are, Merlin.

- If only it were that simple.
- What do you mean?

Once you enter into this bargain,
it can't be undone.

Whatever I have to do, I will do.

His life is worth a hundred of mine.

The cup of life,
blessed by centuries of powerful sorcery

so that it contains
the very secret of life itself.

If Arthur drinks
water from the cup he will live.

(Chanting)

(Sky rumbling)

(Lightning crashes)

The bargain is struck.

I hope it pleases you.

(Door opening)

Merlin!

We need to give this to Arthur.

- What is it?
- Water drawn from the cup of life.

If Arthur drinks
from it he will recover.

Please hurry.

What are you waiting for?

What price did you pay
to redeem his life?

- Whose life did you bargain?
- We don't have time.

- Merlin!
- Don't worry, Gaius,

everything's
going to be all right.

What are you doing, physician?

- What are you giving him?
- It's, uh...

It's a tincture made
from the lobelia plant.

An ancient remedy
for poisonous bites.

- A cure?
- We hope.

Do you really think
it will have some effect?

It is our last resort, sire.

Perhaps you should
allow him to rest.

I will not leave him.

Please, Merlin, you must beware.

This is only the beginning.

(Breathing deeply)

Arthur.

The prince lives.

(Bird squawking)

I thought we'd lost you.

Don't worry, father,
I'm not going to die.

I think there's someone
watching over me,

keeping me from harm.

Maybe you're right.

On your long journey to become
king, you'll need a guardian angel.

I shall inform the court
that their prince lives.

I knew it.
I said you'd be all right.

I can remember
you talking to me.

- You can?
- You stroked my forehead.

- I was tending to your fever.
- You never lost faith.

- I was just talking.
- Tell me again what you said.

- I don't remember.
- Yes, you do.

- No, I don't.
- Come on.

Something about
"the man I am inside."

- No! I never said that.
- Guineverel

I have to get
these washed, sire.

(Thunder rumbles)

(Lightning crashes)

(Screams)

(Bell tolling)

Gaius! I'm alive!

- What is it? What's happened?
- Merlin, stay there.

- What's wrong?
- No, don't

mother?

- Merlin.
- What's happened to her?

Gaius: She is gravely ill.

- Do something!
- If I could.

Please, Gaius!

Merlin,
this is no ordinary illness.

This cannot happen!

Who did you meet
at the isle of blessed?

- Nimueh.
- Nimueh?

It was as you said.
She demanded a price.

But I bargained my life,
not my mother's.

Merlin,
I wish there was something I could do.

I will make you better, I will.

You knew this would happen!

You had me trade
my mother's life for Arthur's!

You said you would do anything.

Did you know my
mother would die?

I knew the price
would be a heavy one.

- But you sent me anyway.
- We need Arthur to live.

- I'm not one of you.
- We are both creatures

of the old religion.
It is the source of your power.

- What's that supposed to mean?
- Your destiny

is to protect the young
pendragon until he claims his crown.

And when he does,
magic can be returned to the realm.

Only then will I be free.

So that's all you've cared about?
I thought you were my friend.

I am more than that, Merlin,
I am your kin.

No, the only family I have is my
mother and you had me murder her.

Her life has not
been taken in vain.

We will achieve
great things together, you and I...

You will never be released!

For what you've done I will make sure
you never see the light.

Merlin!

(Roars)

(Merlin chanting)

You won't see me again.

(Growls)

Where is she?

She's sleeping.

I have to save her.

You cannot.

If the balance of the world needs a
life then nimueh must take mine.

No, Merlin.

- Yes, I will return to the island.
- You are young.

Your gifts, your destiny
are far too precious to sacrifice.

My destiny? This is my mother.

My powers mean nothing
if I cannot save her.

You have taught me so much,

taught me who I am,

taught me
the purpose for my skills,

taught me that magic should only
be used for great deeds,

but most of all, you have
always taught me to do what is right.

Merlin.

(Sniffles)

I need to say goodbye to Arthur.

- Merlin.
- How are you?

Good.

I'm pleased.

Yes. I owe it all to Gaius.

I need to talk to you.

You still haven't got it yet,
have you?

- I decide when we need to talk.
- Not today.

I sometimes wonder
if you know who I am.

- Oh, I know who you are.
- Good.

You're a prat. And a royal one.

(Laughs)

Are you ever going
to change, Merlin?

No. You'd get bored.

Promise me this, if you get another
servant, don't get a bootlicker.

Is this is you trying
to leave your job?

I'm happy to be your servant
till the day I die.

Sometimes I think
I know you, Merlin. Other times...

Well, I know you,
and you're a great warrior.

One day you will
be a great king.

That's very kind of you.

But you must learn to listen
as well as you fight.

- Any other pointers?
- No.

That's it.

Just don't be a prat.

Gwen: Gaius had to go
and get some supplies.

He asked me to
keep an eye on her until you got back...

Thank you.

- I'm sorry.
- No, she'll get better.

I've tried to make her
a little comfortable.

You have such a good heart, Gwen.
Don't ever lose that.

I'm going to make you well again.
I promise. You'll see.

You're such a good son.

But I don't want you
to worry about me.

I know that the gods
will look after me and that one day

I will see you again.

I will miss you.

I will miss you, too.

Gaius?

Gaius: Dear Merlin,
my life is already near to its end.

There has, for the most part,
been very little purpose to it,

very little that
will be remembered.

In contrast, Merlin,
your life is destined for greatness.

Live by the tenets
I have taught you

and I believe you will, in time,
become the greatest warlock ever.

To have known you
has been my greatest pleasure

and to sacrifice myself for you
is but an honor.

You are and always will be
the son I never had.

Nimueh: I never thought
I'd see you here again.

- My lady.
- It's a long time

- since you called me that.
- I've come to ask for your help.

As you once did before for uther.
You did not like the outcome.

I offer a chance for you to atone
for the death of his wife.

I have saved the life of her son.
What more do you ask for?

That this time you
take a just price.

Merlin intends
to offer his life for his mother's.

I want you to take
mine in his place.

(Laughs)

With all my powers of prediction,
I could never have foretold this.

Gaius the hero.

Why should I Grant your wish?

You stood and watched as our
friends burned in the great purge.

You are nothing but a traitor.

Merlin is the one man
who can bring magic back to this land.

At Arthur's side
he can help forge a new kingdom.

A world of peace and beauty
that we can only dream of.

And you're willing
to give your life, Gaius,

for the future they will bring?

I'm waiting.

Are you ready to die, Gaius?

Gaius?

For Merlin, I will give my life.

(Nimueh chanting)

Stop!

Back again so soon, warlock?

- What've you done?
- Your mother is safe.

Isn't that what you wanted?

- Have you killed him?
- It was his wish.

I bid my life for Arthur's,
not my mother's, not Gaius'.

The old religion does not care
who lives and who dies.

Only that
the balance of the world is restored.

To save a life, a life must be taken.
Gaius knew this.

It is not the old religion
that has done this. It is you.

Come now. We are too valuable
to each other to be enemies.

No, I share nothing with you.

With my help
Arthur will become king.

I will make Arthur king.
But you will never see that day.

(Chanting)

Your childish tricks
are useless against me, Merlin.

I am a priestess
of the old religion.

(Chanting)

You too are a creature
of the old religion. You should join me.

You think I would join forces
with such a selfish and cruel magic?

- Never.
- So be it.

(Chanting)

(Groans)

Pity.

Together we could have
ruled the world.

You should not
have killed my friend.

(Lightning crashes)

Gaius. Gaius.

No! No!

(Sobbing)

Merlin... Merlin.

Gaius.

Gaius, you're alive.

What did you do?

Nimueh's dead.

The balance of the world
has been restored.

You amaze me.

You have mastered the power
of life and death itself.

But we'll make a great warlock
out of you, yet.

So you believe in me now?

Well, I would do

if you could stop
this blasted rain.

Dragon: Merlin! No!

(Bellowing)

(Gasps)

Dragon: Merlin!
