00:02:42 Ow.
00:04:17 This be the Age
00:04:48 Whoa. Whoa.
00:04:53 It is Merlin
00:04:55 here in this enchanted land.
00:04:58 I must admit the tale
00:05:02 living in this region
00:05:04 And even harder to believe.
00:05:06 Merlin is dead,
00:05:09 Have faith, Tristan.
00:05:11 I should think the man
00:05:13 And not in such a place as this.
00:05:16 Merlin is not a mortal man, son.
00:05:18 Normal rules of life and death
00:05:21 at least not to him.
00:05:22 Trickery, Galahad.
00:05:24 I sometimes forget, good warrior,
00:05:27 In my day sorcery and swordplay
00:05:34 Whoa whoa.
00:05:38 It was a different time
00:05:40 before the walls went up
00:05:42 and this certain darkness came.
00:05:45 You really don't believe
00:05:47 I believe what my eyes can see.
00:05:49 And what I see
00:05:51 And we're riding
00:06:27 Who would dwell
00:06:30 Someone not eager
00:06:35 Stay alert, knights.
00:06:37 When we encounter Merlin
00:06:39 you will believe in magic.
00:06:45 On the ready.
00:06:55 The forest is changing.
00:07:00 This is unnatural.
00:07:02 This is magic, boy.
00:07:20 Galahad.
00:07:23 I am Sir Galahad,
00:07:25 the last Knight of the Order
00:07:29 Reveal yourself.
00:07:33 You've been warned.
00:07:35 Swords.
00:07:50 What does the sign say?
00:07:52 "Tread no further
00:07:58 It's empty.
00:08:00 Like the threat of the sign.
00:08:04 Stop. It's a trap!
00:08:51 Who dares enter
00:09:02 Watch these eyes.
00:09:05 Watch these eyes
00:09:08 In my grasp,
00:09:13 Don't be shy.
00:09:15 Let's get better acquainted,
00:09:31 Gotcha!
00:09:42 You evaded my spell
00:09:45 and bested my hollow knight.
00:09:47 I'm must be
00:09:51 I am sorry to inform you,
00:09:55 the only reward
00:09:58 will be sudden death
00:10:00 It's what I promised the forest.
00:10:03 Now...
00:10:28 They sent a girl.
00:10:30 Master Merlin.
00:10:31 Get you gone before I forget
00:10:34 I've come with Sir Galahad
00:10:37 to these enchanted woods
00:10:39 What, you and those
00:10:42 Impossible.
00:10:43 We're hoping you might use
00:10:48 as you once did for King Arthur.
00:10:50 Arthur is gone.
00:10:52 Britain has fallen.
00:10:55 And they send a choirgirl
00:10:58 Tell me,
00:11:01 can you sing a song, choirgirl?
00:11:05 La la la la la la.
00:11:07 Go on, do a little dance.
00:11:09 Entertain an ancient man
00:11:12 I was expecting you to be older.
00:11:14 I didn't expect you at all.
00:11:18 The less I want, the less I need.
00:11:22 I'm getting younger
00:11:26 It's power. It's magic.
00:11:30 I'm aging backwards.
00:11:33 Granting you the virtues
00:11:37 Is youth a virtue?
00:11:39 One day I'm gonna become as young
00:11:45 I'd like to say I don't have the time,
00:11:47 So why are you here,
00:11:50 We have chosen to restore
00:11:53 Restore? With what?
00:11:56 With knaves and scraps?
00:11:58 Galahad's a relic, same as me,
00:12:02 as wanted and useful
00:12:04 What do you think I'm doing
00:12:06 The threat of magic brings us here.
00:12:08 And magic we seek
00:12:12 The land... it finds itself
00:12:15 under the rule by a dark wizard
00:12:19 He has resurrected
00:12:22 a dark and perverse version
00:12:25 from which he has unleashed
00:12:30 What does he seek?
00:12:32 We know not.
00:12:34 But he razes every town
00:12:37 into ash and smoke
00:12:42 Merlin: If what you say is true,
00:12:44 there's little I can do for you now
00:12:46 except rid you from my forest,
00:12:49 which I promise to do
00:12:51 This powder I'm preparing should
00:12:54 Master Merlin,
00:12:57 I care only
00:12:59 the Arcadian has laid to waste
00:13:02 Beasts, you say?
00:13:05 What sort of beasts?
00:13:07 Creatures of legend and lore,
00:13:10 long since forgotten
00:13:13 Somehow he controls them
00:13:17 Someone must make things right
00:13:19 and restore freedom and order
00:13:21 And that's gonna be you, is it?
00:13:23 You? You and whose army?
00:13:27 I am Avlynn Pendragon,
00:13:30 daughter of King Arthur
00:13:35 You're a liar!
00:13:45 You carry the mark.
00:13:47 Do with me what you will,
00:13:49 but save the world
00:13:51 This I cannot do.
00:13:54 Am I wrong to believe
00:13:57 who once used his powers
00:14:00 You are wrong to believe
00:14:02 allows such powers
00:14:05 just as I was
00:14:09 And I offer you a second chance.
00:14:12 Help me to avoid
00:14:14 I need your guidance.
00:14:17 It's too late for second chances.
00:14:25 Be gone, child,
00:14:27 and do not ever return here.
00:14:36 I will inform the knights
00:14:39 to spare them the disappointment
00:14:56 It's her sword and shield.
00:14:59 - She wouldn't just leave us.
00:15:02 - We must find her. Avlynn!
00:15:05 - Princess Avlynn.
00:15:07 Look before you leap
00:15:09 Your haste almost cost us all.
00:15:11 Good to see you survive
00:15:16 It was an old trap
00:15:19 Galahad,
00:15:22 the Merlin you once knew
00:15:26 His is not the magic
00:15:29 In our time,
00:15:33 I knew this was a fool's folly.
00:15:35 Never chase a magician
00:15:38 They'll always disappoint you.
00:15:39 I thought this was
00:15:43 and you.
00:15:45 But with Merlin gone,
00:15:48 what now?
00:15:52 Avlynn: We are the Knights
00:15:56 We carry on the fight
00:16:04 We ride to Camelot
00:16:07 to reclaim the Round Table
00:16:32 Sentries, draw out what I seek.
00:16:50 Avlynn: The dark wizard
00:16:53 Tristan: The Arcadian has a flaw,
00:16:56 Galahad: It takes magic
00:16:59 Even you should believe that.
00:17:07 Dismount and surround.
00:17:16 What do you want of us?
00:17:19 Do you serve the Arcadian?
00:17:22 Let us pass, sentry,
00:17:24 or else we'll assume
00:17:26 We are only more than happy
00:18:02 Where are you taking me?
00:18:11 Accursed.
00:18:37 He who is foolish enough
00:18:41 prepare yourself for hell!
00:19:24 Die, you dog, die!
00:19:42 - Merlin.
00:19:49 I am the one you seek.
00:19:51 I knew you wouldn't miss
00:19:54 Lysanor: It is you.
00:19:57 You see, Tristan?
00:20:00 Why the change of heart?
00:20:02 There might be some things in this world
00:20:07 Then I welcome you
00:20:10 I can see the news of your demise
00:20:14 Time will tell.
00:20:18 I'd like you to meet
00:20:25 A champion in waiting.
00:20:29 My father often regales me
00:20:32 leading the knights of old.
00:20:34 Merlin: Leading?
00:20:35 Your father's memory is not
00:20:38 I could tell you stories...
00:20:40 This is Tristan,
00:20:43 the bravest of our clan.
00:20:48 Your father
00:20:50 was a brave and skillful knight.
00:20:55 You look like your mother.
00:20:57 I hope only to honor them.
00:20:59 It's over.
00:21:01 And of course
00:21:03 I know. I almost killed her.
00:21:17 The road is long and dark.
00:21:19 You bring me the children of knights,
00:21:22 That's all that's left, Merlin.
00:21:24 While you slept,
00:21:28 I've kept Avlynn safe,
00:21:30 as a member of our family
00:21:33 since Arthur left her to me,
00:21:35 raising her as my own
00:21:37 And I rescued Tristan
00:21:39 All right, talk amongst yourselves.
00:21:41 - as he was a knight
00:21:45 We've lived as a family
00:21:48 Only now does the day
00:21:52 that I dare bring her out
00:21:59 She's not ready.
00:22:02 That's what you're for.
00:22:07 Hmm.
00:22:09 Avlynn.
00:22:15 Thank you, Avlynn,
00:22:17 for bringing me back
00:22:27 I hope the blood of the Pendragon
00:22:31 for all our sakes.
00:22:43 Avlynn.
00:22:47 I'd like you to wear this
00:22:49 for luck.
00:22:51 It belonged to my father,
00:22:54 given to him by your father.
00:22:59 I don't believe in luck.
00:23:01 I believe in destiny.
00:23:02 What you seek from me, Lysanor,
00:23:05 What is it I seek?
00:23:07 After all these years,
00:23:13 What are you so afraid of, Avlynn?
00:23:17 Caring for anyone
00:23:20 or caring for me?
00:23:23 Afraid?
00:23:28 You think to know me,
00:23:32 Lay a hand on me again
00:23:36 Understood.
00:23:42 The princess appears
00:23:44 Unfortunately, I'm a man
00:23:47 In this case
00:23:50 to you beating your head
00:23:52 in hopes
00:23:54 I have a very thick skull.
00:23:56 On that point we can agree.
00:24:03 Come on. Come on.
00:24:09 It's the dragon soldier...
00:24:13 part man, part beast.
00:24:16 Long since we've stood
00:24:20 but this certain coming
00:24:23 is something I've not seen
00:24:27 How does the Arcadian
00:24:31 Questions questions.
00:24:36 He must have unleashed
00:24:41 The book?
00:24:43 The devil's work.
00:24:47 We must ride.
00:24:50 Where is she?
00:24:52 If I know Avlynn...
00:24:54 Shall we get going then?
00:25:12 Where did you find this?
00:25:15 Beyond Astolat Road,
00:25:17 far enough, but closing in.
00:25:20 But who could have felled
00:25:23 Only a divine spirit or...
00:25:29 Merlin.
00:25:32 Double the patrols.
00:25:36 Close the noose before they reach
00:25:48 10 leagues... not bad for a day.
00:25:51 We need to travel farther than that.
00:25:55 You know some faster way
00:25:58 Tristan.
00:25:59 Do not curse the wild man,
00:26:02 not unless you intend to kill him.
00:26:06 Avlynn: So what is this book
00:26:09 It's an ancient text.
00:26:11 It's called the Book of Beasts.
00:26:15 It's a bestiary
00:26:17 carved out of the skin
00:26:21 entrusted me by my master Blaze.
00:26:26 He was one of the original wizards.
00:26:29 Centuries ago
00:26:31 an entire army of young warriors
00:26:36 set out to do battle,
00:26:38 capture the most ferocious creatures
00:26:41 The book was a way
00:26:45 You speak as if you've experience
00:26:55 How is it the Arcadian has come
00:27:00 It was stolen from me
00:27:02 by the hands of Morgan le Fay,
00:27:05 that witch.
00:27:08 At the battle of Camlann,
00:27:11 helping Arthur recover
00:27:13 Avalon?
00:27:15 to recover from his wounds
00:27:17 and never to return here...
00:27:20 that was the last
00:27:25 Galahad: Then we must reclaim it.
00:27:27 Merlin: Old Galahad
00:27:31 Mere mortals
00:27:34 lest it imprison your spirit.
00:27:37 The Arcadian has found a way
00:27:40 of releasing the beasts
00:27:42 We must destroy this weapon.
00:27:45 But how do we do that, Merlin?
00:27:47 While it was in my possession,
00:27:49 I tried everything in my power
00:27:55 So we are to barrel headlong
00:28:00 towards a weapon of dark magic
00:28:02 so powerful
00:28:05 should we ever be able
00:28:07 What doesn't kill you
00:28:09 What does kill you
00:28:17 What was that?
00:28:19 Avlynn: What?
00:28:31 Good night.
00:28:35 How can he sleep at a time like this?
00:28:37 We're at war, Lysanor.
00:28:40 We sleep when we can.
00:28:43 I'll take the first watch.
00:29:24 What did you see, Merlin?
00:29:27 The future.
00:29:29 Thrice slain.
00:29:38 Is he all right?
00:29:40 Knowing the future
00:29:42 The future is fragile.
00:29:44 The slightest event in time
00:29:47 could alter time for all time.
00:29:52 If I tell you what we face
00:29:55 it only makes you fear.
00:29:58 If I tell you what we face
00:30:03 conceit may cause you to fail.
00:30:10 I only wish there were still hope.
00:30:13 Sometimes
00:30:15 when you don't know
00:30:18 you find you're able
00:30:23 You speak of faith?
00:30:24 Yes.
00:30:26 When a person believes,
00:30:31 Sometimes you only think
00:30:34 to keep the world
00:30:58 I've come to relieve your watch,
00:31:02 I'm not a queen yet, Lysanor.
00:31:04 Best you not be saying such things
00:31:08 Of course.
00:31:10 Sleep soundly,
00:31:25 Lysanor?
00:31:40 Lysanor.
00:31:44 Lysanor.
00:31:56 Don't touch.
00:32:14 What did you do to him?
00:32:16 I don't know
00:32:19 - Galahad: Lysanor.
00:32:21 - What did you do to him?
00:32:24 Tristan: He's possessed.
00:32:26 No, he's infected.
00:32:30 With devil's nightshade,
00:32:32 Galahad: Do something
00:32:35 Stay back.
00:32:42 You're killing him.
00:32:44 My special herbs
00:32:48 They should?
00:33:04 Thank you, Merlin.
00:33:06 Can you hear me, son?
00:33:08 Father, that was
00:33:12 Looked like good fun
00:33:15 up until the time you tried
00:33:25 The Arcadian's magic
00:33:29 The book is unleashing
00:33:34 transforming it into something
00:33:37 Avlynn: The night itself
00:33:41 Best we not rest.
00:33:45 and retrieve the Book of Beasts,
00:33:47 Avlynn,
00:33:49 thank you.
00:33:53 But think before you leap,
00:33:55 You're much too important
00:33:57 to get yourself killed
00:34:01 Lysanor, you are absolutely right.
00:34:07 Let's ride.
00:34:09 Galahad: There might be hope
00:34:12 Merlin: I have my doubts.
00:34:15 So does she.
00:34:50 Galahad: Camelot.
00:34:52 Merlin: That's not Camelot.
00:34:56 And we will take it back.
00:34:58 The walls are high.
00:35:00 And the Arcadian has enlisted
00:35:02 the help of mercenary troops
00:35:04 Not to mention
00:35:06 How are we going
00:35:09 when we're only five
00:35:12 We won't.
00:35:15 Galahad: I remember when you were
00:35:18 you had a fascination with...
00:35:20 Tunnels,
00:35:21 long and deep tunnels.
00:35:32 I'm through.
00:35:38 Galahad: Still here.
00:35:41 Most things under the ground
00:35:47 Looks cozy.
00:35:57 All right, after you, Galahad.
00:35:59 No, after you, Merlin.
00:36:13 They were constructed
00:36:16 to get the women and children out
00:36:18 They connect the castle
00:36:21 Water? There's no water
00:36:27 Wrong way.
00:36:29 Sorry.
00:36:30 Sometimes you don't need to see water
00:36:34 Nothing is as it seems.
00:36:36 Tristan: A common trickster's
00:37:06 I'll retrieve the book.
00:37:08 Lysanor: And what are we to do?
00:37:10 Guard the tunnel.
00:37:13 We are knights, Merlin,
00:37:15 - Speak for yourself.
00:37:17 No, Avlynn.
00:37:21 The book is too powerful.
00:37:25 What shall we do
00:37:28 Run for your lives.
00:37:29 And watch the beasts
00:37:34 Tristan, set up a watch
00:37:37 Lysanor, Avlynn,
00:37:39 It will take more than a beast
00:37:41 We'll hold the tunnels for Merlin.
00:37:43 Be careful, Princess.
00:38:12 It's all lost.
00:38:33 Arcadian: Is it as you
00:38:36 Not altogether, no.
00:38:42 Do I know you, necromancer?
00:38:46 I know you, Merlin.
00:38:47 Everybody knows me.
00:38:49 Puts me at a disadvantage.
00:38:53 Camelot was a sanctuary,
00:38:56 a haven,
00:38:58 and here it lies desecrated.
00:39:01 My father said
00:39:04 In your despair, you blinded yourself
00:39:08 The Circle of Ambrosius?
00:39:13 Which negates the power
00:39:16 Yes, I know, I know.
00:39:19 And in that short time
00:39:23 Do you?
00:39:26 You mean this?
00:39:34 That's a funny little trick,
00:39:37 Who taught you that?
00:39:39 Actually, it was something
00:39:43 Nothing is as it seems.
00:39:45 So you knew who your father was,
00:39:47 That's impressive
00:39:50 You knew him well, Merlin.
00:39:52 His name was Arthur Pendragon.
00:39:56 - Mordred?
00:39:59 Mordred, son of Morgan le Fay
00:40:02 You were slain. I watched you
00:40:06 while Arthur was dying
00:40:08 I survived!
00:40:14 The blood of Pendragon
00:40:17 My father never acknowledged it.
00:40:20 He tossed me away
00:40:23 I killed him.
00:40:26 You will suffer.
00:40:29 You will not succeed.
00:40:31 Then why are you my captive
00:40:33 and your friends about to die?
00:40:37 Oh, yes, you brought
00:40:41 Well, I brought mine too.
00:41:04 A wicked place.
00:41:10 No sign of him.
00:41:12 Then we wait.
00:41:18 - Do you trust Merlin?
00:41:22 There's something about the nature
00:41:25 If its powers are so dark
00:41:27 how can we be certain it will not
00:41:30 We all face our own true selves
00:41:33 He will guide us through this.
00:41:37 A man who abandoned the world,
00:41:40 What if he's not strong enough?
00:41:42 You must believe, Lysanor.
00:41:44 When Merlin learned that a Pendragon
00:41:48 his faith was reborn.
00:41:50 Sometimes faith is all
00:41:52 And sometimes things must be believed
00:42:04 Something stirs.
00:42:11 - Which way?
00:42:14 Ghosts.
00:42:15 Tristan: What was that?
00:42:17 Tristan, Lysanor,
00:42:21 The way is clear,
00:42:26 Are we surrounded?
00:42:31 Avlynn!
00:42:36 Things could have been
00:42:39 if only you embraced
00:42:44 Now you are a very part of it,
00:42:46 allowing me to draw
00:42:49 and imprison it on this page.
00:42:52 The book
00:42:54 Put it down
00:42:57 As I understand it,
00:43:04 No, Mordred,
00:43:07 you are not the book's master.
00:43:11 You will now twist your spirit
00:43:15 The only end to this path
00:43:18 That is what I intend to do.
00:43:22 You will not entomb my spirit.
00:43:25 Actually, that's exactly
00:43:29 That is the prize you seek.
00:43:32 How does it make you feel
00:43:36 didn't trust you
00:43:38 I...
00:43:41 I know not what you talk of.
00:43:43 Avlynn Pendragon, my blood kin.
00:43:46 Only you couldn't help yourself
00:43:50 Why would you do that?
00:43:53 Why was it to be her
00:43:55 and not me?
00:43:57 Oh, I think you've asked yourself
00:44:01 and the answer
00:44:06 You are not fit to be king,
00:44:08 if you look at it, really.
00:44:12 But you will contradict
00:44:17 You are sick, child.
00:44:19 We should have put you out of your
00:44:22 Enough!
00:44:23 Avlynn will bear me a child and
00:44:27 You will never have Avlynn,
00:44:29 never.
00:44:34 I have her already.
00:44:43 What was it, Galahad?
00:44:45 A serpent, a shadow,
00:44:49 A woman?
00:44:51 The Gorgons.
00:44:59 The Gorgons...
00:45:00 Moira, Minerva,
00:45:05 - Avlynn.
00:45:06 serpents for hair and a wild look
00:45:10 Only when they're angry.
00:45:12 And besides, I thought
00:45:15 I believe
00:45:17 Let her go.
00:45:27 Cover your eyes!
00:45:38 Abomination.
00:45:40 Lysanor, are you all right?
00:45:42 Follow her!
00:45:55 What are you laughing at?
00:45:58 The beasts who collect Avlynn...
00:46:01 the one thing you are to protect...
00:46:03 were creatures you helped
00:46:06 The Gorgons?
00:46:08 Your legacy will be
00:46:14 Where is the sword...
00:46:16 the sword in the lake?
00:46:19 You'll never find it.
00:46:21 I hid it, see?
00:46:23 You hid the sword?
00:46:25 No, I hid the lake.
00:46:30 - Merlin: Avlynn!
00:46:33 Only two return.
00:46:36 Let me go.
00:46:39 This is not the way
00:46:43 Demons, no.
00:46:45 The soul must be intact
00:46:49 - You never will, Arcadian.
00:47:13 Medusa, Minerva,
00:47:15 get back in the book
00:47:18 Asudem, Avrenim.
00:47:30 Destiny manifests already,
00:47:33 especially you.
00:48:08 Arcadian, over here.
00:48:13 Your plan will never
00:48:19 If I can't have you, Merlin,
00:48:23 Get the book.
00:48:25 Run for your bloody life, fools!
00:48:36 - Merlin.
00:48:39 No!
00:48:42 Merlin.
00:48:44 Princess, the garrison
00:48:47 This can't be.
00:48:49 If what Merlin said is true,
00:48:52 the evil spawn of Morgan le Fay
00:48:56 We must go now!
00:48:58 I can't stand to lose another.
00:49:03 Merlin is dead, Avlynn,
00:49:05 but we have the book
00:49:10 I am not leaving him.
00:49:11 You don't have to.
00:49:17 We leave no one behind.
00:49:19 Thank you.
00:49:25 To the tunnels.
00:49:33 Tristan and I will take these rogues.
00:49:41 Lysanor, get out.
00:50:38 Avlynn, it will be all right.
00:50:41 What will be all right, Lysanor?
00:50:43 Merlin is dead, removing
00:50:46 Without him there is no way
00:50:49 And we're in a tunnel leading back
00:50:52 Merlin knew of the danger
00:50:56 We mustn't stay
00:50:58 They're drawing closer.
00:51:00 Lysanor will never make it
00:51:03 Don't worry about me.
00:51:06 Avalon sounds right
00:51:08 Knights, the enemy is closing in.
00:51:12 Wait. My father was taken
00:51:15 after he fell at Camlann,
00:51:17 - Galahad: Yes.
00:51:19 Avalon's healing waters have a spring
00:51:22 - The Fountain of Brittany.
00:51:24 No no, that's a fable.
00:51:25 What's the matter, boy?
00:51:28 Merlin said these tunnels lead
00:51:32 Water.
00:51:35 Let it be so.
00:51:57 You're not divine, old man.
00:52:00 In one thing you are correct...
00:52:02 my reach on the book
00:52:15 We made it. The water rushes.
00:52:21 This way.
00:52:34 Lysanor: Why is this river
00:52:36 Galahad: Enchanted it is,
00:52:39 hidden from the paths of man.
00:52:42 Tristan: It is beautiful.
00:52:44 Lysanor: Starting to believe
00:52:46 I believe what my eyes see.
00:52:49 And I fear we'll see a lot more
00:52:52 Well, I hope you can conjure up
00:52:56 Merlin certainly isn't
00:52:59 magic river or no.
00:53:23 The Fountain of Brittany.
00:53:34 Youthful expectations.
00:53:38 Lysanor, let me help.
00:53:46 The silent sentinel.
00:53:48 The fountain god.
00:53:50 Legend says the gods themselves
00:53:53 put these behemoths
00:53:55 to guard until the end of time.
00:54:06 There is something familiar
00:54:09 The fountain.
00:54:13 It's dry.
00:54:25 Tristan: What are we going to do
00:54:27 Galahad: It cannot be helped.
00:54:30 We should perhaps press on.
00:54:33 We still have the book.
00:54:35 Go on without me.
00:54:37 I shall stay as well.
00:54:39 No, Avlynn, Merlin's death
00:54:43 - We can't just leave him.
00:54:45 No, he's not.
00:54:49 This place... I've been here before,
00:54:52 as if it were in my blood.
00:54:54 I can hear the fountain.
00:54:57 I've heard it
00:55:00 There must be a way.
00:55:08 Your family's mark.
00:55:11 Tristan, your knife.
00:55:24 May the blood of a Pendragon
00:55:28 The blood oath.
00:56:08 If you can hear me
00:56:11 we need you, Merlin.
00:56:13 The land needs you.
00:56:15 I need you.
00:56:17 I'm not ready
00:56:22 Please fight.
00:56:43 Asudem, Avrenim!
00:56:46 Asudem,
00:56:49 Asudem, Avrenim!
00:57:04 By Isolde's light...
00:57:08 Welcome back, old friend.
00:57:11 Nice to see you again.
00:57:13 Nice to be seen.
00:57:15 We thought you were dead.
00:57:17 Well, I was, see?
00:57:19 But now I'm back again.
00:57:20 This is the second time
00:57:23 the first being
00:57:25 You know how that turned out.
00:57:28 I've had visions of myself
00:57:32 thrice slain.
00:57:36 Twice is enough.
00:57:38 Just don't die on us again then.
00:57:42 Where am I?
00:57:44 The Fountain of Brittany.
00:57:45 Whose idea was that?
00:57:47 Lysanor: Avlynn's.
00:57:50 That was a good idea.
00:57:54 We've retrieved
00:57:56 and your magic is needed
00:57:59 My magic, is it?
00:58:01 How quickly the worm turns.
00:58:08 Our quest is now complete.
00:58:11 Where is the book?
00:58:16 Scratch that.
00:58:21 They're probably not very happy
00:58:24 Knights, we fight blind.
00:58:26 We move as one.
00:58:34 Avlynn: Thrust. Thrust. Thrust.
00:58:40 My arm.
00:58:46 My arm.
00:58:50 Don't you ever listen?
00:58:52 Close your eyes
00:58:59 What exactly is our strategy?
00:59:02 Hold your sword high, boy.
00:59:04 Anytime now.
00:59:19 Nice score, lads.
00:59:43 It would be easier to be dead.
00:59:46 She seemed afraid of me.
00:59:48 Medusa is afraid of no one.
00:59:51 I was taught well.
00:59:54 Merlin, you called the Arcadian
00:59:57 'Cause it's true, see?
01:00:02 You've heard that name
01:00:04 Avlynn: No.
01:00:06 Galahad.
01:00:10 All right, well, you'd best
01:00:12 Sit down.
01:00:15 Truth is, the Arcadian's
01:00:19 or half-brother at any rate.
01:00:21 I have a brother?
01:00:24 Sired by your father
01:00:26 in a moment of weakness,
01:00:29 such as all mortal men
01:00:33 Well, he was tricked
01:00:35 by the witch Morgan le Fay.
01:00:40 Must be the source
01:00:45 I have a brother.
01:00:47 A half-brother on the witch's side.
01:00:53 Merlin: And he wants you to live.
01:00:55 He sent out all these enchanted beasts
01:00:58 To what end?
01:00:59 He wants you to bear him
01:01:02 a pureblooded Pendragon child.
01:01:04 - What?
01:01:06 That shall never come to pass.
01:01:08 We will raise a new army of knights,
01:01:11 and destroy this unholy tomb
01:01:13 How can we?
01:01:15 There's no way to destroy the book.
01:01:20 I've seen that grave look
01:01:23 right before our king fell.
01:01:25 Perhaps there is a way.
01:01:27 Lysanor: How?
01:01:30 To battle a powerful weapon
01:01:33 Tristan: Is it possible?
01:01:36 Surely there's nothing
01:01:38 There is a weapon.
01:01:41 What is it? We must have it.
01:01:43 - Merlin: Are you ready?
01:01:46 Are you steadfast?
01:01:48 Yes.
01:01:49 Might mean certain death,
01:01:53 one of ours
01:01:56 or yours.
01:02:00 The choice is yours.
01:02:01 We can retire now
01:02:05 try and hide it
01:02:07 Galahad: Although fiendish artifacts
01:02:09 have a way of being found
01:02:15 Or we can try to rise
01:02:19 a higher power
01:02:24 Avlynn: The legend is true.
01:02:27 Better, girl...
01:02:30 Galahad: Excalibur is real.
01:02:32 Merlin was the last to use it.
01:02:36 It was hidden
01:02:40 awaiting its rightful owner.
01:02:43 Tristan: Excalibur brandished
01:02:47 there is no army, human or beast,
01:02:51 But the getting of it...
01:02:54 the getting of it may prove
01:02:59 It's your choice.
01:03:04 Hardship, ordeal, death...
01:03:08 our land is at war
01:03:11 and our people are dying.
01:03:14 The choice you give
01:03:17 We journey to the Lake of Destiny
01:03:21 we shall embrace our future.
01:03:32 There's no water.
01:03:35 You have to ask yourself,
01:03:38 has it been dry all the time?
01:03:58 We are close.
01:04:01 The river ends
01:04:03 Where are we going, Merlin?
01:04:06 Why have we traveled far
01:04:10 Tristan: And yet
01:04:15 What better place to have
01:04:18 Lysanor: One cannot draw water
01:04:21 Merlin: Although you cannot
01:04:25 a conjurer can hide what's wet
01:04:28 within sand.
01:04:43 The Lake of Destiny
01:04:45 right where I left it.
01:04:48 What am I to do?
01:04:50 Retrieve Excalibur.
01:04:52 Persevere.
01:04:55 How?
01:04:56 You said you were ready.
01:04:59 You should know.
01:05:02 Follow in the footsteps
01:05:05 - I will go with her.
01:05:08 Whatever's in that lake
01:05:10 is for Avlynn to find out.
01:05:15 I will be all right.
01:05:22 Will she, Merlin?
01:05:24 Questions questions questions.
01:05:27 From what I've seen,
01:05:32 Who wants beans?
01:05:55 Excalibur.
01:06:14 Are we to fight?
01:06:15 Clever girl.
01:06:17 Then again, so am I.
01:06:35 You fight well.
01:06:37 I am your every weakness,
01:06:39 Your Highness.
01:06:41 Quite.
01:06:57 I don't mean to pry,
01:07:00 Oh, yes, Princess, to our death.
01:07:20 I am fighting myself.
01:07:29 Come here.
01:07:32 I said come here.
01:07:38 I will not fight you.
01:07:56 Fly fly fly!
01:08:01 Fly fly!
01:08:18 Your dreams stir you to awake, Merlin.
01:08:21 What troubles your mind?
01:08:24 Always watching me sleep, Galahad...
01:08:30 During sleep
01:08:33 And tells me
01:08:37 That one twice dead
01:08:41 And one that should sit
01:08:43 Will gaze at the world
01:08:47 Well, none of us can live forever,
01:08:49 except maybe you.
01:08:52 I'm impressed we've made it
01:08:55 the world being what it is.
01:09:08 You've done well, Galahad.
01:09:12 Lysanor has grown to be
01:09:15 And Avlynn...
01:09:17 can't have been easy
01:09:20 keeping the mark secret.
01:09:23 When the kingdom fell
01:09:25 I took them north
01:09:28 A small farm,
01:09:31 and time...
01:09:34 time was all I needed.
01:09:36 When Tristan joined us,
01:09:39 teaching her sword skills
01:09:42 We tried to blend in,
01:09:46 just be a normal family.
01:09:48 But you had to kill
01:09:51 A few.
01:09:53 To keep the royal family a secret,
01:09:55 Once there was no king,
01:09:59 when people starved
01:10:04 I fear the knights have been
01:10:08 The world has gotten dark
01:10:11 But while I was raising Avlynn,
01:10:13 I had only the requests
01:10:16 "Protect my child... "
01:10:20 Requests? What was the second?
01:10:23 "Trust no one else. "
01:10:28 Arthur was clever.
01:10:32 But he had a weakness.
01:10:35 And that weakness is now
01:11:18 My name is Avlynn Pendragon,
01:11:21 daughter of King Arthur
01:11:26 I seek my father's mighty sword
01:11:30 as I intend to use it
01:11:33 to end the Arcadian's reign
01:11:35 and restore the will of the people.
01:11:41 May the spirits of my ancestors
01:11:44 guide me now.
01:12:20 Where are you,
01:12:23 I was just thinking
01:12:27 My parents?
01:12:29 They have written great songs
01:12:32 and poems of Tristan and Isolde.
01:12:34 I imagine they'll write a few more
01:12:38 perhaps even about you
01:12:40 - Don't jest with me.
01:12:43 - She doesn't pay me any heed.
01:12:46 - It drives me mad.
01:12:51 Do you think they'll write songs
01:12:54 when all this is through?
01:12:56 We only need one of us to survive
01:13:01 I like our odds.
01:13:03 - Princess.
01:13:05 Excalibur.
01:13:07 Together: May the glory of Camelot
01:13:10 May the glory of Camelot
01:13:16 Give yourself a bit of a knock,
01:13:22 The skin will heal.
01:13:24 The spirit is strong.
01:13:26 With the Book of Beasts
01:13:30 the Arcadian stand no chance.
01:13:54 Lysanor.
01:14:00 Where are the others?
01:14:02 What others?
01:14:04 Were you having a dream again?
01:14:08 Avlynn: A dream?
01:14:11 Lysanor: Everything is all right.
01:14:13 You are safe within the walls
01:14:17 I...
01:14:19 Shh shh.
01:14:21 Your battle with the dark wizard
01:14:24 All is well.
01:14:26 All is safe.
01:14:33 I've not...
01:14:37 Never mind.
01:14:44 Devil.
01:14:46 Demon.
01:14:49 Brother.
01:14:53 I only want
01:15:10 - Where are we?
01:15:13 Where is Avlynn?
01:15:15 The Arcadian has her.
01:15:17 Can you get us out of here?
01:15:19 No no no.
01:15:21 Galahad: The Circle of Ambrosius...
01:15:25 You know I hate magic,
01:15:27 but I hate it even more
01:15:32 Lysanor: This isn't
01:15:34 Tristan: Was that?
01:15:35 Merlin: Don't look now, knights.
01:15:38 Galahad: Do you have one last
01:15:42 I wish we could drink her blood.
01:15:44 - No, thank you.
01:15:47 No, it's certain if you drink
01:15:49 you are immune to her charms
01:15:53 Really?
01:15:54 That's what they say.
01:15:58 You're right.
01:16:00 This isn't looking good for us.
01:16:14 This castle is where you were born.
01:16:17 I was born in a swamp.
01:16:31 Camelot is mine,
01:16:33 and it's where you'll remain
01:16:36 Why not just kill me, brother?
01:16:39 No.
01:16:41 A spell of enslavement, then yes.
01:16:47 I understand it won't hurt much.
01:17:10 How may I now serve you,
01:17:16 Now that's more like it,
01:17:18 Avlynn my queen.
01:17:35 Oh, hello.
01:17:38 What's she doing?
01:17:41 Oh, I think she likes you.
01:17:45 Don't jest with me.
01:17:47 I don't think she's
01:17:50 Oh, make her stop.
01:17:52 Can't stop love, my boy.
01:17:54 You know, apart from the fact
01:17:57 that she's a hideous mythical beast,
01:17:59 she is stunningly attractive.
01:18:01 Tristan, whatever is to happen,
01:18:03 Take a bite.
01:18:38 All right, Tristan, don't overdo it.
01:18:42 I said don't overdo it.
01:18:52 Get Avlynn!
01:18:54 Gorgon blood.
01:19:12 Soon I will release all the creatures
01:19:15 send them to every kingdom.
01:19:18 A new dark dawn, my lord.
01:19:22 Merlin: Not when there are still knights
01:19:28 You're late
01:19:31 I'm sure you've seen the future,
01:19:35 And yet you're still here.
01:19:37 Visions and dreams
01:19:40 Actions are another.
01:19:42 Your powers are subdued, wizard.
01:19:44 You and your henchmen
01:19:49 - Henchmen?
01:19:51 I am Sir Galahad,
01:19:55 What, this round table here?
01:19:59 The Round Table is not stone.
01:20:02 It is an ideal
01:20:06 And your time on the throne of Camelot
01:20:11 Is that so?
01:20:27 You will have to go
01:20:30 Your dark magic
01:20:33 We know this one
01:20:35 No, that's her.
01:20:39 Galahad: Conjurer, we will be
01:20:42 No, Father, that's really Avlynn.
01:20:44 It is as I have foreseen it.
01:20:47 My vision is near complete.
01:20:55 Lysanor: She's possessed.
01:20:57 This doesn't get
01:21:04 Avlynn, please,
01:21:09 You know, I still have one page
01:21:11 Your confidence belies
01:21:14 Excalibur, your challenges.
01:21:17 Sir Galahad raised you
01:21:20 Thanks for the news, messenger.
01:21:22 Here's mine to you...
01:21:24 you shall be dead
01:21:28 The truth?
01:21:30 The truth is I have the book,
01:21:33 the princess, the sword
01:21:35 and you under the spell
01:21:38 You're entirely powerless
01:21:40 That's true... the Circle of Ambrosius
01:21:47 It nullifies the magic
01:21:50 And I was careful that was you.
01:21:54 Avlynn, you must remember.
01:22:05 Lysanor.
01:22:07 Welcome back.
01:22:09 But my staff
01:22:18 Oh, no.
01:22:21 - Galahad, no!
01:22:23 Don't look at her, you fools.
01:22:24 This way.
01:22:34 Will you leave me so unsatisfied?
01:22:36 Gorgon blood flows through me,
01:22:39 but I haven't spilt enough today.
01:23:04 Arcadian: I will not let you take
01:23:08 Oh, I don't plan to.
01:23:12 Hold here.
01:23:19 You're too scared to use
01:23:31 Mighty Medusa,
01:23:34 my name is Avlynn Pendragon
01:23:37 and this is my sword.
01:23:45 I am the destroyer.
01:23:48 I am the darkness.
01:23:51 I unleash the powers of hell
01:23:54 and the power of the book!
01:24:23 Merlin, is it over?
01:24:25 Have we won?
01:24:27 Not yet!
01:24:31 Do not let the book
01:24:34 I know you're stronger
01:24:36 Thrice slain.
01:24:39 Merlin is no more!
01:24:41 I will not do it.
01:24:46 You'll have to kill me,
01:24:49 It's the only way.
01:25:01 Merlin.
01:25:03 Merlin, please.
01:25:07 Merlin.
01:25:10 Come back.
01:25:50 Don't cry.
01:25:53 You're gonna be a queen.
01:25:55 Queens don't cry.
01:26:00 You must have nine lives.
01:26:04 Only three.
01:26:12 But this last death
01:26:15 is only the death of my magic.
01:26:18 I'm so sorry.
01:26:20 No, Avlynn,
01:26:22 you've given me
01:26:25 life,
01:26:28 a mortal life.
01:26:30 Lysanor: My father has fallen.
01:26:32 Can you revive him,
01:26:35 No, Lysanor, I cannot.
01:26:38 My magic is gone.
01:26:40 It cannot be reversed.
01:26:44 Galahad knew the price
01:26:49 He was a once and future warrior,
01:26:51 who would be king.
01:26:54 Sure his presence here
01:27:17 I will make you proud.
01:27:20 You already have.
01:27:33 You have done well,
01:27:41 Is the book destroyed?
01:27:43 Not destroyed,
01:27:46 but Avlynn has made it safe.
01:27:49 Only one who is capable
01:27:53 in line with the forces of nature
01:27:57 will be able to release it
01:28:01 Do you know who that is?
01:28:04 I believe that he's yet to be born.
01:28:52 It's like a dream
01:28:55 to be back here once again.
01:29:00 Feels like I've finished
01:29:07 Will you stay,
01:29:09 counsel me during my reign?
01:29:16 These are your people, not mine.
01:29:21 Britain is yours.
01:29:24 Britain is yours.
01:29:28 If you lead with the kind of faith
01:29:30 she will follow you.
01:29:32 Tristan can guide your army.
01:29:35 And you have a man
01:29:42 You fear your feelings
01:29:45 yet you know them to be true.
01:29:48 - Do I?
01:29:51 Yes.
01:29:53 Love is the only thing in the world
01:29:56 It can't be fooled.
01:29:58 He risked his life for you
01:30:02 And he'll do it again and again
01:30:04 till the end of time
01:30:08 If that's not love,
01:30:10 And when you find love,
01:30:13 when you fight for love
01:30:15 out of love,
01:30:18 well, then, Avlynn,
01:30:20 you will find a strength
01:30:25 For opening your heart
01:30:29 It takes great courage.
01:30:34 I might be ready.
01:30:37 You are ready.
01:30:42 You, Tristan, Lysanor,
01:30:46 are the sons and daughters
01:30:50 And your time has come.
01:30:54 What will you do now?
01:30:58 What will I do?
01:31:02 What will I do?
01:31:06 I will live my life
01:31:09 as any mortal man might,
01:31:12 go my ways
01:31:15 in peace.
