00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:17,640
I want you to bring me peace.

175
00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:21,080
You must right the wrong
that was done to me.

176
00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:24,040
How? What should I do?

177
00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:27,480
It's easy.

178
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:31,240
You must kill the King.

179
00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:02,400
Elyan. You startled me.
Is everything all right?

180
00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:09,680
Elyan? What the hell
do you think you're doing?

181
00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:17,320
Guards!

182
00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:32,400
Elyan is a friend
to some of you...

183
00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:35,520
but that friendship ended
when he tried to kill the King.

184
00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:37,920
Do not let him escape. Go find him!

185
00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:45,360
What happened?
Elyan, he attacked me.

186
00:18:45,360 --> 00:18:49,680
I think he's possessed.
What do you mean possessed?

187
00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:52,320
He may have disturbed a spirit
at the shrine.

188
00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:56,280
I think that spirit
is possessing him.

189
00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:57,840
Why else would he attack you?

190
00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:01,240
When we catch him, I intend
to ask him that very question.

191
00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:07,320
I never thought we would hunt
one of our own.
Why would he would attack Arthur?

192
00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:11,600
What if your sister
had been banished from Camelot?
My sister is an evil, old toad,

193
00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:15,080
so I would be eternally grateful.
There he is!

194
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:33,120
Elyan, we don't want to hurt you.

195
00:19:33,120 --> 00:19:37,080
Put the knife down. Why don't
we all just put our weapons down

196
00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:40,080
and sort this out like friends.

197
00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:53,440
I had to do it...

198
00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:56,000
Of course you did.

199
00:19:57,560 --> 00:19:59,240
We understand.

200
00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:02,800
We're your friends...

201
00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:40,640
You failed me.

202
00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:42,000
I'm sorry...

203
00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:45,160
I'm so sorry...

204
00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:53,000
Elyan must be tried and punished
in accordance with our laws.
You mean put him to death.

205
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:57,760
Well, so be it. You can't afford
to show favouritism. What if Elyan
wasn't acting of his own volition?

206
00:20:57,760 --> 00:21:03,920
What do you mean?
Merlin believes that Elyan has been
possessed by some kind of spirit.

207
00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:08,920
Oh, I have no doubt he is just
trying to protect his friend.

208
00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:11,400
Why else would Elyan attack Arthur?

209
00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:14,960
His motive is obvious.
He seeks revenge.

210
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:16,920
You banished his sister from Camelot.

211
00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:22,120
I know Elyan. And no matter
what he feels about his sister,
he would never attack Arthur.

212
00:21:22,120 --> 00:21:25,320
Arthur, you must see, all this
talk of possession, and spirits.

213
00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:29,040
It is just a ruse to save
Elyan's neck. What if it is true?

214
00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:32,680
I'd be executing an innocent man.
More than that,
I'd be executing a friend.

215
00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:36,800
You cannot allow someone to try and
kill you and then escape punishment.

216
00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:43,120
You will appear weak! That puts
the whole of Camelot in peril.

217
00:21:43,120 --> 00:21:44,800
Arthur... Leave me.

218
00:21:48,120 --> 00:21:50,480
Both of you.

219
00:21:57,840 --> 00:22:03,160
Agravaine is pushing for Elyan's
execution. Arthur may have no choice
but to sentence Elyan to death.

220
00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:07,080
We can't allow that to happen.
What do you propose we do, Merlin?

221
00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:09,960
There must be a way of ridding Elyan
of the spirit that possesses him.

222
00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:14,240
It would require very powerful magic.
Then I must master it
if I am to save Elyan's life.

223
00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:19,400
And you intend to expel
the spirit in the cells,
under the noses of the guards?

224
00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:22,080
Of course not. First we need
to break Elyan out of the cells.

225
00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:25,400
Did I miss out that part?
Ah, ha-ha-ha(!)

226
00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:36,120
Elyan will have to be unconscious
when you expel the spirit.

227
00:22:36,120 --> 00:22:39,440
I put a powerful sedative
in the water. And Merlin,

228
00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:44,640
remember that Elyan is not himself.
You cannot trust him. I know.

229

Strangath bydenfaetu.

230
00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:22,600
Wyrth gatu faest!

231
00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:34,400
Merlin? I don't have time to explain.
You have to trust me.

(BELLS RING)

233
00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:02,440
We need to make it
to the cover of the woods.

234
00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:22,440
You know, Merlin, you're much
braver than you look.
Are you calling me a coward?

235
00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:27,480
I'm saying there's not many people
with the courage to break someone
out of the cells.

236
00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:31,440
I had to do it. They were going
to execute you.

237
00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:35,560
I know that
you would never hurt Arthur.
Not of your own volition.

238
00:24:39,360 --> 00:24:41,880
After all that running.
You must be thirsty.

239
00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:50,920
(DRIPPING WATER)

240
00:24:54,680 --> 00:24:57,880
Where are my manners? You must
be thirsty too. After you.

241
00:24:57,880 --> 00:24:59,240
No, no. After you.

242
00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:02,280
I insist.

243
00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:05,440
I had some earlier. If I have too
much, I need to pee all the time.

244
00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:07,120
Ask Arthur. I'm always peeing...

245
00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:09,960
What are you looking at?

246
00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:17,640
I'm sorry, Merlin.

247
00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:19,960
For what?

248
00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:28,360
I won't fail you again.

249
00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:39,600
Just before he jumped me.
There was a presence there.
I could sense it.

250
00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:43,480
It was Elyan who was supposed to
be knocked out. Not you, Merlin.

251
00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:47,160
I must find Arthur. Elyan could
make another attempt on his life.

252
00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:51,600
After Elyan's escape, Arthur was
put under heavy guard. There is
little you can do to protect him.

253
00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:57,280
This shrine.
Do you think you could find it again?

254
00:25:58,800 --> 00:26:01,760
I'm not sure I want to. You said
I was never to go there again.

255
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:05,840
We have to find out all
we can about this spirit.

256
00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:10,640
Unless we know what we're
dealing with, we won't be able
to help Elyan, or Arthur.

257
00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:26,200
Merlin?

258
00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:32,120
It's just through these trees.

259
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:48,000
What are we looking for?

260
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:49,560
I'm not entirely sure.

261
00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:54,280
But remember,
don't disturb anything.

262
00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:55,880

These runes are in the Druid tongue.

280
00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:20,200
I also found this. There are
crossbow bolts scattered all around.

281
00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:25,400
This was Uther's doing, wasn't it?

282
00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:31,160
It is revenge for Uther's crime
that the spirit seeks.

(DOOR OPENS)

284
00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:43,760
Merlin! Good of you to join me(!)

285
00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:46,760
Perhaps I should fill you in
on all that's been happening while
you've been...

286
00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:50,040
That's a good question.
What the hell have you been doing?

I was... Choose your next words
carefully. They may be your last.

288
00:28:56,160 --> 00:29:00,120
I was searching in the woods
for some herbs for Gaius,

289
00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:04,280
very rare herbs and hard to find
actually...and I got lost.

290
00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:09,120
You mean to tell me that
you've been wandering around
in the woods all night? Yes.

291
00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:10,560
What happened to your head?

292
00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:14,520
I...I tripped over a root.

293
00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:16,960
and I hit my head on a tree
and knocked myself out.

294
00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:24,520
Well, after wandering around
in the woods all night, knocking
yourself out, you must be hungry?

295
00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:26,880
I'm starving.

296
00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:29,080
Pull up a chair. Tuck in.

00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:47,120
You let him go?

308
00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:56,320
The palace is secure. No-one is able
to get in or out. We're searching
the Lower Town even as I speak.

309
00:31:56,320 --> 00:32:00,600
Fear not, my lord.
Elyan will be hunted down, and slain.

310
00:32:00,600 --> 00:32:03,720
I will see to it personally.

311
00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:05,280
Thank you, Uncle.

312
00:32:09,840 --> 00:32:13,120
You know that isn't Elyan,
or you wouldn't have let him go.

313
00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:18,440
When Elyan spoke to me.
It wasn't with his voice.

314
00:32:20,280 --> 00:32:24,800
It was the voice of a boy. A child.
That is the voice of the spirit
that now possesses him.

315
00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:30,640
What do you know about this shrine,
Gaius? I believe the site
was once a Druid camp.

316
00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:37,920
There is evidence that the camp was
attacked. Your father was relentless
in his persecution of the Druids.

317
00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:44,920
Many died. I believe it is one
of those tormented souls
that now possesses Elyan.

318
00:32:48,160 --> 00:32:50,920
And that is why he
seeks his revenge?

319
00:32:50,920 --> 00:32:57,040
The spirit craves peace.
He wishes to find his proper
place in the Other World,

320
00:32:57,040 --> 00:33:01,160
but the unjust nature of his death
has denied him that.

321
00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:05,480
Is there anything that can
be done, to change this?

322
00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:11,960
In Druid lore, only the
atonement of the perpetrator
can bring the spirit peace.

323
00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:16,760
Uther's dead.
He can't atone for what he did.

324
00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:21,600
Indeed. What about Elyan?
Elyan is no longer the man you knew.

325
00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:25,760
The spirit has a hold over him
that may be too powerful to break.

326
00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:30,120
All we can hope
is that he is found before
he has a chance to enact his revenge.

327
00:33:30,120 --> 00:33:31,920
And if we do find him?

328
00:33:35,800 --> 00:33:37,880
Then I fear you have no choice

329
00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:39,640
but to kill him.

330
00:33:55,800 --> 00:34:00,240
It is not your fault.
You can't be held responsible
for everything your father did.

331
00:34:02,920 --> 00:34:07,640
That will be all Merlin, thank you.
Are you sure you
don't want me to stay?

332
00:34:09,040 --> 00:34:12,480
I think I'm going to get
an early night.

333
00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:16,800
I'm pretty tired too, what with
having spent the night in the woods.

334
00:34:16,800 --> 00:34:20,400
No-one said anything about you
getting an early night.

335
00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:24,560
In fact, you can make up
for your little escapade
by polishing my armour.

336
00:35:31,920 --> 00:35:34,600
Merlin?

337
00:35:34,600 --> 00:35:38,480
Fancy meeting you here...
Why are you creeping around
in the woods? I'm following you.

338
00:35:38,480 --> 00:35:42,280
Why are you creeping around
in the woods? Something I should
have done a long time ago.

339
00:35:42,280 --> 00:35:47,360
Elyan could be out here.
Do you know how dangerous that is?
I have to face him.

340
00:35:47,360 --> 00:35:50,600
Feel free to go back to
Camelot any time you like.

341
00:35:56,720 --> 00:36:00,440
You're not going back then?
I thought I might tag along.

342
00:36:00,440 --> 00:36:02,920
Don't want you getting
lost and scared.

343
00:36:14,480 --> 00:36:16,080
Are you sure you want to do this?

344
00:36:18,400 --> 00:36:20,360
Maybe we should wait
until it's light...

345
00:36:23,440 --> 00:36:25,800
Or we could do it now, whatever it
is that we're doing...

346
00:36:25,800 --> 00:36:28,480
in the dark when it's incredibly
scary and dangerous...

347
00:36:48,440 --> 00:36:52,240
Is that a good idea?
We might be needing it...

348
00:36:52,240 --> 00:36:55,200
I'm not sure a sword will
be much use against a spirit.

349
00:36:55,200 --> 00:36:56,640
What about against Elyan?

350
00:36:59,200 --> 00:37:00,640
I'm here!

351
00:37:03,080 --> 00:37:06,480
That's what you want,
isn't it? What are you doing?

352
00:37:10,240 --> 00:37:14,560
Everything Gaius
said about this place was right.
Except for one thing.

353
00:37:14,560 --> 00:37:18,440
It wasn't my father that led
the raid on the Druid camp.

354
00:37:18,440 --> 00:37:20,480
I did.

355
00:37:30,520 --> 00:37:32,600
(IN CHILD'S VOICE:)
My blood is on your hands.

356
00:37:34,440 --> 00:37:36,800
I cannot rest because
of what you did...

357
00:37:38,840 --> 00:37:41,160
I know.

358
00:37:50,240 --> 00:37:53,520
I am responsible
for what happened to you,

359
00:37:53,520 --> 00:37:56,040
and for all the violence
that happened here.

360
00:37:58,000 --> 00:38:04,320
When I led the attack on your camp,
I was young and inexperienced.

361
00:38:04,320 --> 00:38:08,200
I was desperate to prove myself,
to my men, to my...father.

362
00:38:13,200 --> 00:38:17,960
I told the men to spare the women
and children, but I know that
some of them ignored the order.

363
00:38:17,960 --> 00:38:21,640
There was so much happening.
I wanted to stop it.

364
00:38:24,200 --> 00:38:26,720
I froze.

365
00:38:26,720 --> 00:38:29,040
I didn't know what to do.

366
00:38:35,080 --> 00:38:38,240
I...I...I can still hear
their screams...

367
00:38:43,960 --> 00:38:46,160
I cannot right this wrong.

368
00:38:46,160 --> 00:38:49,760
Nothing I can ever do will change
the horrors that happened that day.

369
00:38:53,560 --> 00:38:56,720
But, I can promise
that now I am King,

370
00:38:56,720 --> 00:38:59,720
I will do everything that I can

371
00:38:59,720 --> 00:39:05,520
to prevent anything like this
from ever happening again.

372
00:39:05,520 --> 00:39:08,600
From this day forth,

373
00:39:08,600 --> 00:39:12,400
the Druid people will be treated
with the respect they deserve.
I give you my word.

374
00:39:22,120 --> 00:39:26,240
I am truly sorry
for what happened to you.

375
00:39:27,640 --> 00:39:31,800
(HE GASPS AND PANTS)

376
00:39:34,080 --> 00:39:35,440
(SWORD CLATTERS ON GROUND)

377
00:39:56,800 --> 00:39:58,760
I forgive you.

378
00:40:12,520 --> 00:40:15,200
(HE SIGHS SOFTLY)

379
00:40:36,120 --> 00:40:37,720
Arthur?

380
00:40:41,280 --> 00:40:42,680
(ARTHUR SOBS QUIETLY)

381
00:41:01,240 --> 00:41:03,840
How's Elyan?
Is he going to be all right?

382
00:41:03,840 --> 00:41:05,840
Gaius says he's going to make
a full recovery.

383
00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:14,680
You know, that was incredibly
moving. What you said at the shrine.

384
00:41:14,680 --> 00:41:18,360
As long as Elyan's going to be
all right, it served its purpose.

385
00:41:18,360 --> 00:41:22,040
It wasn't just about Elyan, was it?
You meant it. I know you did.

386
00:41:22,040 --> 00:41:24,560
Does this have a point, Merlin?

387
00:41:24,560 --> 00:41:30,600
I don't think I've ever seen you
cry before, not like that. You had
tears running down your cheeks.

388
00:41:30,600 --> 00:41:34,000
It's nice to see this new,
sensitive, emotional side to you.
It suits you.

389
00:41:34,000 --> 00:41:40,320
Shut up, Merlin.
I really thought you'd changed.

390
00:41:40,320 --> 00:41:42,080
Then you're as stupid,
as you are ugly.

391
00:41:46,680 --> 00:41:50,080
So there's no chance
we could have a hug?

392
00:41:56,520 --> 00:41:57,560
Argh!

393
00:42:01,000 --> 00:42:03,800
Princess Mithian,
you are most welcome.

394
00:42:03,800 --> 00:42:07,320
It is Arthur's fate to marry Gwen, but 
am I supposed to do anything about it?

395
00:42:07,320 --> 00:42:09,840
Guinevere made her choice.
Now she must pay the consequences.

396
00:42:09,840 --> 00:42:12,960
They're planning to attack Camelot.

397
00:42:12,960 --> 00:42:14,920
Who is she?
A serving wench I recently acquired.

398
00:42:14,920 --> 00:42:16,120
We must find her now!

399
00:42:16,120 --> 00:42:18,640
Gwen, if you stay here...
I have what I deserve.

400
00:42:18,640 --> 00:42:23,160
You wish to see your beloved Arthur
again? Then so you shall.

401
00:42:23,160 --> 00:42:25,240
(SHE SCREAMS)
