Camelot

Previously on Camelot...

An exceptional warrior would boost our morale.

- Anyone spring to mind? - Gawain.

Your king requires your service, and he demands your loyalty.

There was something between us. At the coronation.

If you don't feel the same way, then why did you come?

Just once. Just once.

I know my arrival was difficult for you. But I'm glad

we could get to know each other. What do you hope for?

What's in there? Did I hurt you?

May these rings stand forever

as a symbol of your unity and fidelity.

This... power you've learned.

It costs.

- Don't try and frighten me, Merlin. - The price will be too high.

No, not too high at all.

Brastias!

Brastias!!

Arthur.

I want every warrior out of his bed.

Tell Gawain he starts training everyone. Right away.

Of course.

Good morning... Wife.

Morning, Husband.

Were you watching me sleep? Yes.

- You are so strange. - I'm lucky.

I'm the only man who ever gets to see you like this.

You're a good man.

So...

So when can we leave Camelot?

I don't think it's going to be that simple.

Leontes,

you promised after the wedding you would talk to the king

about getting some land and a place for us to live together.

Yes, I know, but--

: Leontes, put her down! The king wants all his warriors now!

I understand.

And in time we will.

But right now the king needs his champion--

here.

You understand that, don't you?

Breakfast.

Why don't you go down, eat with him?

I'm waiting to be invited.

Perhaps a little guidance is needed.

: Did you send word to Camelot to expect us?

Both done as you asked. And this is the gift.

The gift!

Perfect for a new bride.

Very good. Very good.

If you don't mind me asking, why are we paying such attention

to the bride of the king's champion?

As the king's sister,

I should welcome every new arrival into Camelot.

Especially the women. We can give each other strength and--

Are you all right?

I'm fine.

Let me help.

I said I'm fine.

Now,

is my horse ready or not?

You were complaining of pains yesterday.

Are you sure you're well enough to ride?

Are you a doctor, or a servant?

I'll ensure everything's ready.

- This is it? - Yes.

- I thought there'd be an army. - Hah!

The king's forces are this few? Really?

We're recruiting.

- So what are we fighting for? - How do you mean?

The way we fight, the way I train you all, depends on what we're fighting for.

- We're fighting for freedom. - Whose?

- Everyone's. - Not mine.

I'm free already. I can do what I want. Well, then why are you here?

They told me you were worth following.

Then we're fighting for the people,

for their freedom from chaos. Give him a chance.

All right.

Forget the talk. Show me how you fight.

Maybe I can make them in your image.

I'm ready.

: I'm not sure you are ready, Your Highness.

All right.

Sparta. The perfect training ground. Those bastards were good for something.

- Well, then you are the man to train us. - I'm glad that you agree.

Looks like you need a new sword.

Yes, one suitable for a king.

Do you know Caliburn?

Best bladesmith I ever met.

He'll make you something special.

Where will I find him?

He's been holed up in the woods since his wife died.

You'll need to be careful; he's volatile.

I don't mind volatile.

You give me directions, I'll find him.

Before I do, a word.

It stops now. Whatever you feel for her, destroy it. It has no future.

- You don't control my future. - Last warning.

Don't unsettle our project with misdirected desire.

Train hard. I'll return with a sword.

I trust your wedding night was all you hoped for.

And I trust you'd understand if I'd prefer to keep it private.

Absolutely.

Discretion in all things.

But now that you are married,

of course, you'll be coveted more than ever.

What do you mean?

Well, the most enticing aspect for any man is the forbidden.

But you'll just have to forego the looks from men other than your husband.

For to pay them any heed is really...

Well, it's the worst thing that any woman could do.

I've known women's lives come undone that way.

Here, let me help you.

Stop!

We should rest a moment.

I'll take some water.

You're sick.

I need to go to Camelot. I have to see this girl.

You're not well enough. I'm taking you back.

No!

With respect, your well-being is my priority.

You need to rest.

Let us take care of you.

- Hello. - Your Highness.

- You know you don't have to do that. - I think I do.

What happens now? Between us?

Nothing.

I committed myself.

You blessed the rings.

I didn't sleep...

...the whole night.

I thought about what he was doing.

- Arthur, stop this. - Is he good? Is he better than me?

- This isn't appropriate. - I want to know.

It has nothing to do with you!

On the beach.

It meant something.

No.

It didn't.

If it had, do you think I could've married him?

What sort of person would that have made me?

You gave yourself to me.

Whoever that person was,

she's gone;

she's dead.

- Who does that make you? - Your champion's wife.

Honoured to serve you.

Well, may it bring you much happiness.

We're home. You can rest now.

No.

Get her out! The nun?

How did she get in? Who let her in?

Get her out of here! Now!

Now. What have you done?

Get her out!

I don't want her within sight of this castle.

- I'll have the guards see to it. - No, don't have them see to it!

You see to it! Make sure it's happened.

Of course.

Who is she?

They need to build up this fire!

It's barely giving out any heat!

You're cold.

Some rest will help. It's just a fever.

Of course.

Let us look after you.

The girls will take you to your chamber.

That woman-- not within sight.

The shield is your greatest ally.

Now, these all look like fine shields.

But they're lacking.

You.

Attack me.

: Kay!

Line the edge of your shield with a blade--a knife

or the broken end of a sword.

Your shield then becomes not just a mode of defence, but a weapon in itself.

You all right?

- You're a dirty fighter, Gawain. - This is combat, not cooking.

I train by example. By injuring the warriors you're supposed to be training?

Steady now. Don't get excited--

especially now you don't have a sword. - I don't need a sword.

But what I do need is an honourable instructor--

One other thing on shields:

always keep a dagger strapped to your shield for emergencies.

Your dagger is a part of you.

It should never leave your side. Inscribe it,

carve it, make it your own,

so wherever you are, you'll never mistake it.

Some other rules of combat: remove your emotions;

keep calm;

attempt to draw your opponent into battle using their anger.

That way they're easily frustrated.

Take your blade from his throat.

I could still take you and the king's head.

- Let him go. - It's just a bit of fun.

- Have your fun away from my brother. - You heard what he said,

Gawain. Nobody threatens the king, neither in training nor in jest.
