All language subtitles for Merlin - 4x03 - The Wicked Day.HDTV.XVID FOV.en

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.

Did you see that?!

It's a man throwing sticks
in the air.

What's wrong? It's your birthday.

A huge feast is being held
in your honour.

You've got dancers, jugglers
and acrobats to entertain you.

It must be a terrible burden

Perhaps I'm less
easily impressed than you.

I'm really looking forward to it.

Because you have the mind of a child.

And yet I'm still
more intelligent than you.

I heard that!

You have
misplaced something, Geldred?

Our special gift to the Prince.
I cannot find it anywhere.

Geldred, I took the liberty of
ensuring their safe passage myself.

We must make sure that
this is a celebration

the young Prince will never forget.

The court discussed
the annual levy this morning.

The council suggested we raise it,

but I feel the people are
already over-burdened.

We should not talk about
matters of court today.

Father? You think I would
ever forget that

today is the anniversary
of your birth?

I take it there are plans for
suitable celebrations this evening?

A feast and some entertainment.

I'll tell you about it tomorrow.

Nonsense.

You think I would miss
my son's anniversary?

I require a volunteer.

Prince Arthur. What better
or more fitting occasion

for you to demonstrate
your legendary bravery?

Do you accept the challenge?

Of course.

Is this safe? It's knife throwing,
of course not. I could hardly refuse.

Do not fear, my lord.
I never miss my target.

Good. Glad to hear it.

May I?

See, Merlin? Nothing to worry about.

In a few hours' time,

the sedative on the apple will begin
to take effect.

The Prince will be defenceless.
Then we will strike.

You're telling me you weren't even a
little bit scared?

Of course I wasn't. I am a warrior.

You learn to control your fear.
To channel it.

You looked scared.

It was good to see my father
enjoying himself.

He looked a little quiet
toward the end, though.

Perhaps I should go and see him.

Are you sure that's a good idea?
You can barely stand up.

Are you saying I'm drunk?
No, I'm just saying

I don't think you should be

wandering around the palace.
And why is that?

You're not wearing any trousers.

Good point.

Guards!

Guards!

Goodbye, Arthur Pendragon.

It will take more than
a coward like you to kill my son.

Have you anything to say to your son
before I kill him?

Father?

No. Guards!

I'll go and get help. Stay with me.

I'm here, Father.

Guards! Someone! We need help!

It's my time. No. You can't die.

I know you will make me proud,
as you always have.

You will be a great King.
I'm not ready.

You have been ready for some time,
Arthur. No. I need you.

I know I've not been a good father.

I put my duty to Camelot first.
I'm sorry.

Don't say that.

But know this, Arthur.

I've always loved you.

Gaius. Can you treat him?

The blade has touched his heart.
He is bleeding inside.

There must be something.

There must be something you can do.
Please, Gaius.

It's only a matter of time,
I'm afraid.

I'm sorry, Arthur.

We traced the assassin to the town
of Wenham. It's in Odin's land.

It seems he hired him to kill you,
to avenge the death of his son.

Our thoughts are with you, Arthur.
But if there's anything I can do...

Your support means
a great deal to me. Thank you.

What news of my father?
There's no change.

Why isn't Gaius
doing something, then?

Because there is nothing he can do.

Now, is that any way
to greet an old friend?

I wasn't expecting you today.

I had to see you. I bring good news.

Better than we could have hoped for.

What is it?

Uther has been mortally wounded.
He's on his deathbed.

Gaius says he only has
a few days to live.

I hope the image of my face
haunts him.

How is Arthur? Devastated.
The poor boy can't think straight.

Then we must strike
while he is vulnerable.

When Uther dies,
the kingdom will be weak.

We must choose
our moments carefully.

Who knows what opportunities
the coming weeks will hold?

I appreciate your kindness,
everything you're doing for him.

I do it for you.

Arthur. I can't watch him die.

There's still so much
I want to say to him.

He cannot die.

What's going on?

It's a vigil for your father.

The people wish to share their
grief.

Why are they behaving like
he's already dead

when there's still life in his body?

They're preparing themselves
for the worst.

They can give up hope,
but I won't. I know.

It's hard to accept.
I wish it wasn't so, but...

there really is nothing
that can be done.

There is a way to heal my father.

How?

With magic.

Arthur's planning on using magic?
He's desperate.

He knows it's his only hope
of healing Uther.

Merlin, please tell me
you're not going to do this.

I'd be lying if I said no.

You can't risk exposing yourself
like this. It's too dangerous.

Arthur didn't recognise me
last time,

there's no reason
why he should this time.

Need I remind you, the last time
you used an ageing spell,

you were nearly burnt at the stake.
It's worth the risk.

You think Uther is going to thank
you for healing him with magic?

He's more likely to have you hanged.

Uther will never change his attitude
towards magic, I know that,

but if Arthur allows it
to be used to heal his father,

his attitude will be
changed forever.

He'll see magic can be
a force for good.

You of all people should know that

the use of powerful magic is
fraught with danger.

If it works, I won't have to hide
anymore. And if it doesn't?

I can't stand by
and watch you do this, Merlin.

Well, don't try and stop me,
because... you can't.

You are playing
a dangerous game, Merlin.

I've been playing a dangerous game

since the first time
I set foot in Camelot.

Maybe this is my chance
to change that.

Well? What did Gaius say?

Any information? He didn't know much.

But he has heard of a sorcerer,
an old man.

He lives in the Forest of Glaistig.

Gaius thinks
he may be able to help you.

Will he lead me to him?

He has told me all that he knows.
We will have to find him ourselves.

If you were me,
if it was your father...

would you use magic
to save his life?

Yes. I would.
I'd do whatever it took.

Prepare the horses, gather supplies.

We ride at first light.

Arthur. What news
of your father's health?

No improvement, I'm afraid.

Something's on your mind.

I didn't want to go behind your back.

I have decided to use magic
to heal my father.

I'd strongly advise against
such a course of action.

There is no other way. Magic caused
your mother's death, Arthur.

If you respect her memory,
you cannot do this.

Would you see my father die?

Perhaps it is his time.

Look, I know we have both suffered
because of magic,

but I can't stand by
and let my father die.

My mind is made up.

Are you sure this is the right place?
It looks like a charcoal maker's hut.

The old man can hardly make a living
practising magic.

I think that a lot of sorcerers are
in the... charcoal business.

Are you joining me?

We don't want to overwhelm him.

He probably doesn't get
many visitors.

I'll stay out here
and watch the horses.

I have never met anyone
who is so scared so often.

Scream like a big girl
if there's any trouble.

Don't worry. You'll hear me.

Hello?

There's no-one here.
Are you sure this is the right place?

I'm absolutely certain of it.
I'm sure he'll be back soon.

Well, how do you know? He's a doddery
old man. He can't have gone far.

If you want his help, you'll have to
just wait for him inside.

Where are you sneaking off to?

I have to pee.

So unless you want to come and watch
me, you should wait for him inside.

Why would I want to watch you?

There's the hut.
Make yourself at home.

Miht dagena, bepecce me.

Adeaglie pisne gast min freondum
ond min feondum!

You?

So, we meet again, Arthur Pendragon.

You have come to kill me?
No. That wasn't my intention.

I broke a pot.

You always were a clumsy fool.

Excuse me?

So if you haven't come all this way
to kill me, why have you come here?

I take it you didn't come all this
way just to smash my favourite pot?

If I'd known who you were,
I wouldn't have come at all.

I thought you may have come to ask
me to use magic to heal your father.

How did you know?

I know more than
you could possibly comprehend.

Given your hatred for my father
and everything that he stands for,

I've clearly had a wasted journey.

Do not suppose that you know my
mind.

Will you help me?

You are asking me to

save the life of a man
that would have me executed.

I know what I am asking of you,
you have no reason to help me,

but you are my father's only hope.

I'll give you anything you ask for ...
land, gold. Name your price.

I do not want your gold!

All I have ever wanted is that
people like me can live in peace.

That those who practise magic are
accepted, rather than hunted.

That is all I ask.

That is the price
of your father's life.

You have my solemn word, when I am
King, things will be different.

You won't have to live in fear.

Then... I will help you.

Then there's no time to waste.
We must ride for Camelot immediately.

Now? My father weakens by the hour.

But I have... no horse.

You can use Merlin's.
He'll just have to walk back.

You would make your servant
walk back to Camelot?

I have a good mind not to help you!
I don't care whose horse you use.

We have to get back to Camelot
before it's too late.

First, I must gather some rare
herbs.

They are an essential part
of the cure.

I will come to Camelot at nightfall.

If you want my help,
that is how it needs to be.

I will meet you at the lower gate
outside the town.

Give me your word you'll be there.

You have my word.

Now, just wait here one moment. Why?

Questions. So many questions.

For once in your life,
would you just do what you're told?

All right!

Merlin?

What were you doing?

Peeing. You mean to say you were
peeing all the time I was in there?

I really had to go.

There is definitely something
very wrong with you.

Merlin. I was worried, I thought
something had happened.

Apart from Arthur thinking that
there is something very wrong

with my bladder,
everything went to plan.

I take it that this means
you're going through with it?

If I can heal Uther,
Arthur has given me his word that,

when he is King,
magic will no longer be outlawed.

And what if something goes wrong?
What of Arthur's attitude then?

I live with the risk of exposure
every day.

If I don't take this opportunity,
I'll spend my life

having to hide who I really am.
Everyone's tells me

I have this great destiny ...
maybe this is it. I have to try.

Arthur has gone to consult
with a sorcerer.

He intends to use magic
to heal Uther.

Then we must see to it that he fails.

Seolforpraed apringe winstra,

apringe yfele,
apringe wip ealle gode craefte.

It's cold.

I have bound it to
the left-hand path.

You must place the charm
around Uther's neck.

What will it do to him?

The force of any healing magic will
be reversed and magnified tenfold.

By trying to cure his father,
Arthur will seal his fate.

Arthur will never forgive himself.

He will be destroyed.

And a broken Prince will make
a terrible King.

I promised Arthur I could heal Uther
- I can't even find the right spell.

That's because you're reading
the wrong books. Here.

Gwillem of Cambria
was as mad as a coot,

but there was never a better healer.
Gaius, thank you.

It was cold today. Perhaps
it's a good idea to start a fire.

Of course.

Finally, you will get all
that you deserve, old friend.

You must use only four drops.
Any more could be dangerous.

I just hope I can remember the
spell.

You must trust
your abilities, Merlin.

- Merlin?
- You have to get rid of him.

Merlin!

Arthur. Gaius, have you seen
my useless toad of a servant?

I'm afraid not.

Where on earth is he?
Have you tried the tavern?

The tavern. Of course.

I am going to make him wish
he was never born.

Why did you tell him
I was in the tavern?

It was the first thing
that popped into my head.

Next time, go for
the second or third thing ...

just anywhere but the tavern.

Good luck, Merlin.

I'd started to think you weren't
coming. I gave you my word.

And here I am.

Good. We must hurry.

I am led to believe that
the King's palace is that way.

I can hardly be seen walking through
the main gate with a known sorcerer.

So you are already
going back on your word.

You promised that I would
no longer have to live in fear.

When you've healed my father,
I'll give you everything I promised.

Is this really
as fast as you can walk?

When you are as old as I,
we will see how fast you can walk.

I need to rest a moment.
There's no time.

Then perhaps you should carry me.

Fine. If it means we get there
quicker, I'll carry you.

Did you just kick me?

Now who's wasting time?!

Faster! Faster!

You're dismissed.

But sire, we were instructed
not to leave our post.

And I said you're dismissed.

Yes, my lord.

Wait!

Is something wrong?

My father has taught me
never to trust magic,

and now I am using it to save him.

Your own life has been saved
using magic,

more times than
you can possibly imagine.

What on earth are you talking about?

I merely mean to say that
magic is all around you.

It is woven into
the very fabric of the world.

How can I be sure
it's the right thing to do?

I know you have suffered
because of magic...

as many have.

But not all magic
and not all sorcerers are the same.

I wish only to show you
that magic can be used for good.

I hope one day you will see me
in a different light.

Efencume...

pis lic forod.

Father. Father.

Arthur.

What's happening? I don't know.

Do something!

He's dead.

No. He can't be.

Father. Father!

What have you done?

This was not supposed to happen.

You gave me your word. You have
killed him. You killed him! No!

You will die for what you have done!
Hleap on baec!

I'm sorry, Arthur.

The King is dead.

The spell was working.

I'm sure of it.

I done everything right.
I don't know what happened.

I think I do.

I found it round Uther's neck.

It's been enchanted, and
such an enchantment would reverse

the effects of your healing spell.
Uther didn't stand a chance.

Morgana. I believe so.

Uther's dead, isn't he?

How did you know?

I felt it. I felt his pain.

I thought Uther's death would be
cause for celebration.

Arthur will replace him.

There'll be no celebration until
I take my place upon the throne.

That may be sooner than you think.

Arthur is young, untested.

He will look to his trusted uncle
for counsel,

and I will ensure that he fails.

I am so sorry.

I sh...

I sh...

I wish that there was something
I could have done.

Merlin, no-one but me is to blame
for this.

You're not to blame.
This isn't your fault.

I'm entirely to blame.

My father spent 20 years
fighting magic.

To think I knew better...

I was so arrogant.

That arrogance has cost my father
his life.

You were only doing
what you thought was right.

I'm sure that old sorcerer meant no
harm. Perhaps the spell went wrong.

Uther was dying.
Maybe nothing could have saved him.

We'll never know.

All I know for sure is that
I have lost both my parents to magic.

It is pure evil.

I'll never lose sight of that again.

We must leave him to mourn.

Merlin?

This is all my fault. I killed him.

You did not kill Uther. Morgana did.

Uther's spirit died
when she broke his heart.

We must look to the future.

Uther's death will allow
Arthur's progression to the throne.

We must hope it brings peace
and stability to the land.

Magic will still be outlawed.

I have turned Arthur
against it for ever.

He'll never know who I really am.

That time will come. I'm sure of it.

Arthur will be under even more
pressure now that he is King.

He will need you more than ever.

There is nothing more to be done.
Let's go and have some supper.

I think I'll wait here.

Merlin.

It's a new day.

Have you been here all night?

I didn't want you to feel
that you were alone.

You're a loyal friend, Merlin.

You must be hungry.

Starving. Me too.

Come on.

You can make us some breakfast.

Will you solemnly promise and swear
to govern the peoples of Camelot

according to their respective laws
and customs?

I solemnly swear so to do.

Will you to your power cause
law and justice in mercy

to be executed
in all your judgements?

I will.

Then by the sacred law vested in me,
I crown you Arthur, King of Camelot!

Long live the King!

Long live the King! Long live
the King! Long live the King!

Long live the King! Long live
the King! Long live the King!

Long live the King!

Borden is not a man to be trusted.

What do you want? To help you.

We both know what he hid there.
A dragon's egg.

Emrys.

You want the egg
to remain lost for ever?

This is a chance
in a thousand, Merlin.

No!
