Merlin

'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.'

Even after all these years, I still miss him.

He was a good father.

I'm glad we came.

So am I.

I think he'd be proud.

- Particularly of Elyan. - Me?

Not just because you're a knight,

but because of the man you've become.

- I don't think so. - She's right.

Absolutely. You're outstanding,

especially when it comes to trying to sweet-talk the ladies,

- if nothing else. - Don't listen to him.

No. Elyan loves only one woman.

Who?

- You. - Tell me, I'm your sister.

- Did Arthur not say? - Arthur never tells me anything.

- But he told you who Gwaine's in love with? - Himself?

Leon!

Get to the queen. Get to the trees, go!

Sleep, my lady.. for it could be some time before you do so again.

Episode 6 -= The Dark Tower =-

Merlin, hollyhock.

- One dram? - And dianthus, two drams.

- Lungwort? Three grains. - What happened?

We were riding, we came upon a nest of snakes.

Where's Guinevere?

- Where is she? - I told her to get away. She fled.

- Arthur? - We ride at dawn.

- This is no accident. - Sorcery?

There is dark magic coursing through their veins.

By any right, they should be dead.

Then they were lucky.

I fear there's more to it than luck.

Learn to knock, will you?

I'm sorry, sire.

I wanted you to know that Leon and Percival are safe.

They are well on the road to recovery.

That's good news.

Arthur..

..there is evidence of sorcery.

Gaius suspects Morgana is involved.

You can go, Merlin.

I lost Guinevere once before.

You're not going to lose her.

You're not. We will find her.

I swear.

We'll bring her home.

Good morning, my lady.

What do you want with me?

I thought we could play a little game.

A game?

To find out just how much Arthur loves you.

- It won't work. - You underestimate his feelings.

- He's not stupid. - We'll see.

He'll know you've taken me, he'll know it's a trap.

He will, but he'll still come.

She must've been knocked from her mount by some force.

Here. Tracks.

They were heading east.

Let's go.

Here.

Is it too good for you now that you're queen?

I don't want anything from you.

Just my crown.

Drink it, you may need it.

Why?

I wouldn't be in such a hurry to know.

It's getting too dark.

We'll keep heading east.

We've lost the trail.

Then we'll retrace the tracks.

Arthur.

I'll talk to him.

Sire? She can't be far.

- I know. - But we have to work together.

We'll make camp, I'll get a fire going.

In the morning we'll pick up her trail again. Come on.

- Keep moving. - Where are you taking me?

You'll find out.

What is this place?

Sleep well.

Morgana!

Elyan.

If I'd stayed with her..

You saved Percival, you saved Leon.

But not my own sister.

We can all blame ourselves. She raised me.

You wouldn't understand.

I do.

I don't know.. what I'd be if it wasn't for her.

I can't explain.

You don't have to.

It's all right.

The tower..

It's a dream.

Everything in its shadow was dead.

And the sound, it was like children screaming.

And the rain that fell was like blood.

I had the same dream.

I was lost in a forest and the trees had claws

and when I finally escaped there was a plain.

Empty as far as the eye could see, except..

Rising into the sky was a black pillar of stone.

A tower so dark, it could swallow the sun.

The Dark Tower.

It's a place where every young knight is taught to dread,

and rightly so.

- It's where many have met their end. - I've never heard of it.

With good reason. It's said that the mere mention of it

can bring doom to any of those who hear it.

Well, let's not mention it again.

I was having a dream about eating a cheese that tasted of apple pie.

Anyone else have that dream?

You're all missing out.

Why would they both have that dream?

The poison. It must still be coursing through their veins.

But the same dream?

Arthur, Morgana conjured those snakes.

Leon and Percival would be dead if that was what she wanted.

So what are you saying?

She planted those visions in their minds. It's a trap.

She's luring you to your doom.

The Tower.

That's where she's taken Guinevere.

I've decided to journey to the Dark Tower.

It's my belief that Guinevere has been imprisoned there.

I don't know what horrors will be waiting,

- so I'll travel alone. - No.

I'm sorry, I've made my decision.

You can't stop me, Arthur. She's my sister.

- Nor me, Arthur, she's our queen. - And our friend.

She's a maiden in a tower. A damsel in distress.

I was born for this moment.

You can turn back, Merlin.

I made you a promise, remember.

The Dark Tower.

- How do we get to it? - Through the Impenetrable Forest.

But it's.. impenetrable.

- Exactly. - We can't possibly get through that.

We must.

Keep going.

Elyan?

It was blunt anyway.

Don't stop!

We've lost the path.

Then we'll keep heading north. How do we know which way is north?

The ivy.

The pale leaves face south,

dark leaves face north.

We're on the right course.

We should reach the tower by sundown.

We need to pick up the pace!

Gwen.

Merlin?

Raaargh!

Come, let us have something to eat.

We should've made it out of the forest by now.

Look!

What is it?

How can that be?

We have gone round in a circle.

we have wasted an entire day!

Let's make camp for the night.

Get some rest and think afresh in the morning.

I made you a promise.

Remember?

We will bring her home.

Eat. Here..

Food always makes me feel better.

Would you prefer some chicken?

You must eat.

You're fading away.

I don't know what cruel trick you're playing
