Merlin's Apprentice

- HELLO. - HI, ELIZABETH.

SEE YOU AFTER.

- GOOD DAY. - MY LADY.

WE'VE COME TOGETHER THIS SOLSTICE,

AS WE DO EACH YEAR,

TO BOW OUR HEADS IN THANKS

FOR THE BOON OF THE HOLY GRAIL.

IT'S GRACE MAKES CAMELOT THE BRIGHT CENTER OF OUR WORLD.

AND ITS JUSTICE KEEPS US

AND ALL THOSE WITHIN OUR INFLUENCE

SAFE.

WE GIVE THANKS THAT WE ARE WORTHY

TO HARVEST SUCH GLORY.

IT'S PRESENCE PROVIDES US WITH HOPE.

WE ARE BLESSED

TO BE SO WORTHY.

KNIGHTS.

THE DAY I SAID GOODBYE

TO ARTHUR

WAS A GLORIOUS ONEM

THE FRUIT OF THE YEARS, THE BATTLES

AND STRUGGLES WE'D WON.

IT WAS THE DAY WHEN THOSE STRUGGLES

WERE AT LAST BEHIND US.

AND STRUGGLES THEY WERE,

TO BRING LIGHT INTO THE DARK WORLD

ARTHUR AND I HAD BEEN BORN TO.

BUT EVEN A MAGICIAN MUST REST A WHILE,

RETURN TO THE SOURCE OF HIS POWER,

THE BOSOM OF THE EARTH.

LET IT HEAL AND RENEW HIM

SAFE IN THE KNOWLEDGE THAT ARTHUR WAS ON THE THRONE

AND THE GRAIL SHONE UPON CAMELOT.

WHAT IS THIS?

DON'T BE SHY.

I HAD EXPECTED TO SLEEP

FOR A SEASON.

A fickó a U2-ból?

50 YEARS.

HOW COULD I HAVE SLEPT FOR 50 YEARS?

WAS THIS THE AFTERMATH

OF BATTLE?

THE ONLY WITNESSES

REMAIN SILENT.

AT LEAST SOME THINGS WERE AS THEY SHOULD BE.

STILL STANDING.

NOT THAT THEY SHOULDN'T BE.

I'D ENCHANTED EACH STONE AS IT WAS RAISED

WITH THE POWER TO DEFEND THEMSELVES FROM ANY

OUTSIDE ATTACK.

BUT SOMETHING IS WRONG…

TERRIBLY WRONG.

HALT! STATE YOUR BUSINESS.

I AM A FRIEND.

- WHO IS THAT? - I'VE NEVER SEEN HIM.

DO YOU KNOW HIM?

YOU MUST UNDERSTAND.

YOUR INACTION WILL BE YOUR DOWNFALL.

ARTHUR.

ARE YOU SUGGESTING

WE STRIKE FIRST?

AS WE SPEAK, RAUSKAUG'S ARMY GROWS

AND DEVASTATES THE KINGDOM.

I AM NOT A MAN OF THE SWORD,

SIR THOMAS.

BUT IF WE ARE TO COMMIT WHAT REMAINS OF OUR STRENGTH

TO BATTLE AND LOSE THAT…

EVEN SHOULD WE WIN,

SUCH A VICTORY WILL ONLY SOW MORE GRAVES.

AND IN EACH THE SEEDS OF FURTHER WAR.

THIS IS A TEST

OF OUR VERY FAITH.

THERE CAN BE NO VICTORY THAT DOES NOT MAKE

OUR FOES UNDERSTAND

CAMELOT IS JUST.

THAT WE CARRY ON THE LEGACY OF ARTHUR.

WE MUST CONTINUE THE SEARCH.

ARTHUR GONE, CAMELOT'S

STAR DIMMED…

HOW?

THERE HAD TO BE SOMEONE I KNEW.

WHERE WERE MY FRIENDS… PERCIVAL, KAY?

AND WHO WAS THIS CHILD?

AHEM.

PARDON, MISTRESS.

I WAS LOST IN THOUGHT.

YOUR GOWN IS BEING READIED.

I'VE SENT A MESSENGER TO LORD WESTON.

I WILL FULFILL MY DESTINY, MISTRESS.

HOW COULD THE GRANDDAUGHTER OF SIR GAWAIN

DO ANYTHING BUT FULFILL HER DESTINY?

GRANDDAUGHTER?

ENOUGH. I MUST HAVE ANSWERS.

WHAT IS THIS?

THE HOLY GRAIL,

THE HEART OF CAMELOT, GONE.

WHAT TOOK PLACE HERE?

SPEAK, O HALLOWED STONE.

AND THEN A KING NAMED GRIFFYTH

TOOK THE THRONE.

THE FIRST TO RULE CAMELOT

WHO HAD NOT BEEN BLOODED AT ARTHUR'S SIDE.

BUT THE GRAIL WOULD NOT SUFFER

TO ABIDE THE MAN WHOSE HEART WAS IMPURE.

MY LORD WESTON, FORGIVE OUR INTRUSION.

LADY YVONNE.

WE'VE BEEN SPEAKING TO THE LADY, MY LORD.

SHE CAN'T HELP BUT WONDER IF YOU MIGHT RECONSIDER.

THE LAST BLOOD LINK TO ARTHUR'S KNIGHTS

WED TO YOURSELF MAY BE JUST WHAT CAMELOT'S PEOPLE NEED.

YOU KNOW I LONG FOR THAT DAY.

AND AS YOU KNOW, I HAVE SWORN NEITHER

TO WEAR ARTHUR'S CROWN

NOR TO DISHONOR THE BLOOD OF SIR GAWAIN UNTIL

THE GRAIL IS RETURNED.

I AM SORRY

IF I DISAPPOINT YOU, YVONNE.

THE ONLY WAY IN WHICH YOU WOULD DISAPPOINT ME, MY LORD,

WOULD BE TO SEE TO OUR OWN JOYS

BEFORE RESTORING CAMELOT TO ITS GLORY.

NO ARTHUR, NO GRAIL,

WAR AT THE GATES…

AND YET THERE ARE STILL SOME FEW

THAT REMEMBER THE MEANING OF CAMELOT.

MERLIN.

NEVER THOUGHT I'D SEE YOU AGAIN.

I WAS BUT A SQUIRE WHEN YOU VANISHED.

MERLIN, I AM WESTON, LORD OF CAMELOT.

MY LORD.

I NEVER DREAMT TO MEET THE AUTHOR OF CAMELOT'S

STORIED PAST.

NOR I TO MEET CAMELOT'S DARK FUTURE.

WHY HAVE YOU RETURNED?

I RETURN BECAUSE…

BECAUSE I NEVER MEANT TO LEAVE.

I BELIEVE PROVIDENCE HAS RETURNED YOU

SO TOGETHER WE MIGHT DEFEAT THE ILL TIDE THREATENING

TO EXTINGUISH THE BEACON OF HOPE THAT YOU BUILT HERE.

I BELIEVE YOU HAVE RETURNED

TO HELP ME RESTORE THE GRAIL.

THE GRAIL NEVER SPEAKS TO ME,

NOR EVER HAS.

I SAY IT IS TIME AGAIN FOR SUCH WONDERS.

PERHAPS IT IS TIME, MY LORD.

BUT GRACE ONCE LOST

IS NOT SO EASILY FOUND.

LOOK WHAT I BROUGHT BACK.

I AM A WEAVER.

OUR VILLAGE IS OF NO IMPORTANCE.

WE MEAN NO HARM.

WHICH IS WHY I GIVE YOU

JOIN WITH THOSE CAMELOT HAS TRAMPLED

UNDER THE BOOT OF YOUR ARROGANCE…

OR JOIN YOUR MAKER.

I JOIN YOU.

TO JOIN US

YOU MUST JOIN US IN YOUR HEART.

FREE PEOPLE WILL BE AVENGED!

DO YOU DISAGREE?

WE ARE STAINED AND CLEANSED.

CAMELOT MUST BE PURGED.

NOW ROLL 'EM SLOW. ROLL 'EM SLOW.

HERE WE ARE. EVERYONE IN.

ROLL THOSE.

ROLL.

ALL RIGHT.

HEY, PUT IT BACK. PUT IT BACK.

ALL RIGHT, ONE MORE. EVERYONE IN.

ONE MORE. THROW THAT IN.

AREN'T THEY SUPPOSED TO DROWN RUNTS LIKE YOU?

ACTUALLY, SIR, THEY TRIED.

YOU SEE, MY MOTHER WAS A MERMAID.

- A FISH? - YEAH.

YOUR PAPA MUST HAVE BEEN A LONELY MAN.

YOU DON'T LOOK PART FISH.

BUT YOU DO LOOK LIKE A LIAR.

FLAY ME IF YOU MUST.

BUT FIRST HEAR MY STORY.

HUH? YOU SEE, I WAS BORN AT THE BOTTOM

OF A BEAUTIFUL OCEAN IN A CORAL CASTLE

OF ASTONISHING COLORS.

- HEY! - RED,

BLUE,

EVEN GOLD.

THE CHARM OF THIS LITTLE VALLEY

SO FAR FROM THE ILLS OF THE WORLD

IS THAT IT DOES NOT CONTAIN THIEVES.

YES, THIEVES. THEY'RE THE WORST KIND.

AWFUL.

TO LATE FOR PIXIE DUST AND FAIRY TRICKS,

MY FISH BOY.

RAUSKAUG'S MEN… RUN!

- IT'S MINE. - GET THE GOLD.

GET IT ALL.

- DON'T FORGET THIS. - I'LL TAKE THAT.

- THAT'S MINE. - DON'T FORGET THIS ONE.

SO, SNOUT,

BE A GOOD LITTLE PIGGY.

GO WEE-WEE-WEE ALL THE WAY HOME.

I'M TRAVELING TO CAMELOT, MY SWINISH FRIEND.
