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.'

Hello?

Hello?

Sorry.

Well? I've searched everywhere.

Merlin, it's not just me you're keeping waiting.

How is it my fault!?

The Queen can't just disappear. Well, where is she?

That's what I sent you to find out! Do you know how big this castle is?

Funnily enough, I do.

Then perhaps you should have a look.

Merlin, is there anything you're actually capable of doing?

Putting up with you?

Oh, well...

Guinevere. I'm sorry I'm late.

Late? Not at all.

We've plenty of time.

Noble Knights of Camelot, countrymen, friends,

I welcome you to this meeting of the Round Table.

For three long years, we have been blessed with peace and prosperity.

But now, it seems a shadow has been cast across our lands.

Sir Gwaine set off for Ismere some six weeks ago.

With him went three score of our finest men.

There has been no word from them since.

Run!

At my request,

Sir Elyan led a search party to the wastelands of the north.

He found no trace of Gwaine or his men.

It is as if they have vanished from the face of the Earth.

The last of the Camelot patrol? How long before Arthur sends more?

Calm yourself. There's nothing to worry about.

You're wrong, we're running out of time.

The prophecies do not lie. Arthur's bane is real.

Once it is known to us, his end is nigh.

So you keep saying, yet you cannot tell me what it is.

The Diamair will tell us.

The Diamair is the key to all knowledge.

Then where is this key?

It is here, beneath your feet.

For three months we've been searching and what have we found?

Nothing.

It is but a moment compared to the eternity of knowledge

the key will bring.

If I find that you've lied to me...

Patience is the stepping stone to wisdom, Morgana.

You think I don't know that after all I've been through?

For two long years, I saw nothing but darkness.

Patience and I are old friends.

Lady Morgana, we really have to stop meeting like this.

You're not looking so pretty now, are you, Sir Knight?

It would appear not.

Arthur should know not to send his men so far north.

Well, get on with it, then. Kill me. I will.

But first you're going to have to help me find something.

We know Gwaine and his men crossed the pass, here, at Isulfor.

But beyond that, there was no trace. The trail went cold.

What of this story that the fortress of Ismere

has been occupied once more? I heard many rumours, Sire.

All of them had one name in common... Morgana.

Then we have no time to lose. What if the rumours are true, Sire?

You may be walking into a trap.

The Knights of Camelot do not abandon their own.

Morgana knows that. She'll be waiting for you.

These men have fought for me, bled for me....

May I make a suggestion?

What if you were to take a different route?

Approach Ismere from the west.

Through Annis' lands?

It would certainly take Morgana by surprise.

Would Annis grant safe passage to so many armed men?

I believe she would, Sire.

Dispatch a rider immediately. We'll follow at dawn.

Remember, if we're to succeed, no-one must know of our intentions.

Sorry...

It's fine, really. I'm the one who should apologise.

What for?

I keep getting you into trouble.

I'm used to it.

Merlin!

You should hear him when he's really angry.

MERLIN!

Like now. If you need help with anything, let me know.

Thank you.

Do you really think Gwaine and Percival could still be alive?

I have to find out. They're Knights of the Round Table.

It's a bond we share.

I understand.

If it was you who'd disappeared, Merlin, I wouldn't bother.

Did you find the others? Every last one.

Do they know what we're searching for?

Some kind of key. The key to what?

I don't know. But the men say Morgana's obsessed.

She won't rest until she finds it. Let's hope we don't succeed, then.

The gorge marks the start of Annis' lands.

It's prime ambush territory.

Take some men and follow the ridge line.

There's something you need to see.

Emrys...

Emrys...

What happened to you?

Who did this to your village?

That it happened at all is all that matters.

I have been haunted by this moment

for many years...

..since long before you set foot on this Earth, Emrys,

I have waited for its arrival with sorrow in my heart.

For even as Camelot flowers,

so the seeds of her destruction are being sown.

The prophets speak of Arthur's bane.

You would do well to fear it,

for it stalks him like a ghost in the night.

Unless you act quickly, Emrys,

even you cannot alter

the never-ending circle of his...

..fate.

Is he alive?

What is it?

Come on, Merlin - you've seen a dead body before.

As soon as we've given these people a proper burial, we're moving out.

O drakon, e male so ftengometta tesd' hup' anankes!

I need to know about a Druid symbol.

A black spiral, within it a thin, yellow coil.

It is the mark of a vates.

A Druid seer.

Where did you encounter him?

On my journey here. He warned me of Arthur's bane.

His bane?

And then he showed me a battle.

A terrible battle.

Arthur was fighting for his life. I saw him wounded.

I saw him fall.

The vates' power of prophecy is unrivalled,

even by a high priestess.

So this battle will come to pass?

I do not know, young warlock,

but one thing is certain -

this was no chance meeting.

You think I should heed his warning?

There was a time when the words of a vates were considered a gift.

Then why do they feel like a burden?

A wise man is not cowed by knowledge, Merlin.

Instead, he uses it to guide him.

How?

That is something only you can decide.

But remember, the vates singled you out for a reason.

Now, more than ever,

it is you and you alone that can keep Arthur safe.

Queen Annis. Arthur Pendragon.

I am most grateful that you have allowed us

safe passage through your kingdom.

We are allies, Arthur,

and these are troubled times.

I can't eat this, I'm sorry.

I'll get you something else, m'lady. No. If you could just sit with me...

Are you hungry?

Eat. Please.

You'd think I'd be used to it by now -

not knowing if he'll return.

You love him. I understand.

Do you have someone you worry about?

But not someone you can talk about.

No, m'lady.

There's no greater warrior than the King.

He will return.

I know. You're right.

Thank you.

What you saw at Asgorath is no surprise. Some months ago, Saxons began raiding our villages.

They're rounding up all the men they can find and taking them to Ismere.

To raise an army?

People say Morgana is tearing the citadel apart.

Why?

She must be searching for something. I dare not think what.

Then my men may still be alive?

Yes. There is every chance.

I think it's time for some entertainment.

I would love to see your fool perform.

Given all his failings, he must have some skills.

You'd think so, wouldn't you?

You heard the Queen - jump to it.

I'm not a fool.

That's debatable.

And I don't have any skills!

I know that.

But we can't refuse the Queen when she's granted us safe passage, can we?

Where did you learn to juggle like that?

Honestly, I didn't even know you could catch.

Yes, well, I have many talents.

You've failed to notice them, that's all.

Come on, out with it. What's wrong?

I'm not sure we should go to Ismere.

Did you not hear Annis? My men are alive.

You don't know that.

Look, stick to juggling, Merlin. Leave the important things to me. But...

Here. See, explain that.
