The Pendragon Cycle Rise Of The Merlin Episode 1
Transcript
00:00:21They were going to kill Arthur.
00:00:28Can you imagine?
00:00:31They would have killed him too, but I put a stop to it.
00:00:35The arrogance, the stupidity.
00:00:41Not that Uthera was one for a scholar's cope.
00:00:45I heard about their sordid plan in the way that I have.
00:00:51Whispers in the wind.
00:00:55Faces in the embers of the fire.
00:00:58And I made it my affair to save him.
00:01:01The High King would do his worst.
00:01:06But I would have my way.
00:01:10My way.
00:01:13Was it?
00:01:14Was it ever my way?
00:01:18But I'm getting ahead of myself.
00:01:20I always am.
00:01:23This is to be Arthur's story.
00:01:27But there's more to Arthur than his birth.
00:01:31To understand him, you have to understand the land.
00:01:36This land.
00:01:37This.
00:01:39Island of the mighty.
00:01:42And you have to understand me.
00:01:46For I am the man who made him.
00:01:48I am the man who made him.
00:02:02I am the man who made him.
00:02:04I am the man who made him.
00:02:07I am the man who made him.
00:02:07I am the man who made him.
00:02:07I am the man who made him.
00:02:07I am the man who made him.
00:02:07I am the man who made him.
00:02:08I am the man who made him.
00:02:08I am the man who made him.
00:02:09I am the man who made him.
00:02:09I am the man who made him.
00:02:11I am the man who made him.
00:02:17I am the man who made him.
00:03:21Every year of my kingship, it has been my custom to give the first take of my salmon weir to
00:03:29one of your number as a sign of my respect.
00:03:32Respect for what? Everyone knows that your boy is cursed.
00:03:42So you say, but the weir is mine, and the salmon mine to give.
00:03:52Elfin is my only son.
00:03:55A man must do for his true sons what he can to advance their fortunes.
00:04:10Bring a bounty boy, and show them the curse is broken.
00:04:21And what if the nets were empty?
00:04:35You might have warned me about the snowed-up river.
00:04:39You might have warned me of your foolish plan.
00:05:07Here we go.
00:05:10Let's go.
00:05:46All his ill-luck of all time was nothing.
00:05:50You've let him destroy the virtue of our weir.
00:06:08Elfay, enough!
00:06:29He-he has something!
00:06:31He-he has something!
00:06:39It's nothing!
00:06:41A drowned carcass!
00:06:42He-he has something!
00:07:08He-he has something!
00:07:24He-he has something!
00:07:37Why so eager to share in this bad luck?
00:07:46He-he has something!
00:07:50He-he has something!
00:07:54I'm sorry!
00:07:56I'm sorry!
00:07:59I'm sorry!
00:08:02I'm sorry!
00:08:36The scrawny thing's dead.
00:08:38Who'd be for throwing a babe like that in the river?
00:08:41The child is bewitched. Throw him back in and be done with it.
00:08:45Don't touch him.
00:08:49The babe could be cursed, son.
00:08:54I'm already cursed.
00:09:31I'm already cursed.
00:09:37Oh, my godness.
00:09:46Behold, Taliesin of the Radiant Brow.
00:09:57Come on.
00:10:06Never in Quithnos, weir, was there such good fortune as today.
00:10:16Small you are, Taliesin, and weak, yet there is virtue in your time.
00:10:26A bard the boy will be, a maker with words like no other from the beginning of the world.
00:10:34And in his voice will be born a kingdom of summer.
00:10:52Henceforth, let no one say Elfin Epguithno is unlucky.
00:18:25I'm with you.
00:18:25Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:18:30Peace, Afghan.
00:18:31Peace.
00:18:37What have you seen?
00:18:38They're coming.
00:18:48Picti.
00:18:50From today, we will no longer speak of Irish Pictor-Saxon,
00:18:54but of Barbarian.
00:18:57You know, fine.
00:18:59Mm-hmm.
00:19:04I had hoped for a few more years.
00:19:09One season, more or less.
00:19:12What difference?
00:19:14Take the day as it comes, O King.
00:19:17Do you see victory for us?
00:19:20Better to ask your son.
00:19:22He sees these things much clearer than I.
00:19:25I have not seen Taliesin in three days.
00:19:33Where is he when I need him?
00:19:36He'll be where he is needed most.
00:19:47Therefore, behold your son, Sky Mother.
00:19:52Recognize your devoted servant.
00:19:55Father of wisdom, speak to me, that I may hear your voice.
00:20:03Great goddess, queen of life, reveal to me the vision of your sight.
00:20:11Speak.
00:20:12A beautiful prayer.
00:20:16The gods of this place must be pleased.
00:20:19It is unwise to sneak up on a man while he prays.
00:20:22It is unwise to pray while a man sneaks up on you.
00:20:28You are old to have climbed this hill alone.
00:20:31You are young to have climbed it at all.
00:20:34You think me young to seek the gods?
00:20:38Few enough seek the gods, young or old.
00:20:44The chair on which you sit belongs to the head of our order.
00:20:48The chief druid of the Island of the Mighty.
00:20:50And are you a druid then, Taliesin Ap Elfin?
00:20:57You know me.
00:20:59All men know of the great Taliesin.
00:21:03They say you are the most powerful of your people.
00:21:10I am as you see me.
00:21:12Who are you?
00:21:15Curious, isn't it?
00:21:18Why did your order allow one of their sacred stones to fall?
00:21:28It must have fallen long ago.
00:21:30I wonder.
00:21:33Will you be the man to raise it?
00:21:41You are the man to raise it.
00:21:43You are the man to raise it.
00:21:43No.
00:21:47No!
00:21:50No!
00:21:51No!
00:21:52No!
00:21:53No!
00:21:53No!
00:21:53No!
00:22:05Agh!
00:22:19I see why it fell.
00:22:26Forgive me, stranger.
00:22:29Do the dead forgive?
00:22:34It's very old.
00:22:36What of the Marcus?
00:22:40Cornelius, the Horn Lord.
00:22:43One of your gods?
00:22:45No.
00:22:47Much older.
00:22:54Ancient one.
00:22:59No.
00:23:01No!
00:23:05No!
00:23:08No!
00:23:10No!
00:23:13No!
00:23:14No!
00:23:15No!
00:23:15No!
00:23:16No!
00:23:16No!
00:23:41Put it back!
00:23:42Put the stone back!
00:23:44No doubt I think this Ker-Nunos would prefer you lift his stone upright.
00:23:52He was helping revive the old ways.
00:23:54Ah, and what do you think?
00:23:59Look upon me then, shining brow.
00:24:10Have you nothing to say to me, great bard?
00:24:14No song to sing or wisdom to declare.
00:24:19On the day of your liberation, your tongue will be loosed,
00:24:23and the words I give you will come.
00:24:26You will be my bard, proclaiming my reign in the world of men.
00:24:31Men will hear your voice, and will know who it is that speaks.
00:24:46You are my father, that the gods should war for my soul.
00:24:51You are my son, boy, and the greatest bard in the history of your people.
00:24:57Nothing more.
00:24:59Is that not enough?
00:25:03Come now.
00:25:06Our enemies gather against us.
00:25:08I need you.
00:25:36I need you.
00:26:02Hell, Maximus.
00:26:04Don't remember the Roman legion requiring the aid of a Celtic Allah to avoid defeat.
00:26:10You have a short memory.
00:26:19I see you've met the enemy.
00:26:23Thank you for coming, Elven.
00:26:25But I can't allow you to stay.
00:26:30Marbarian have overrun the Gavulian.
00:26:32My dear goddess.
00:26:34The wall has fallen.
00:26:37Go home, friend.
00:26:38Defend your own.
00:26:43Both our people withstand a far better chance if we stand together.
00:26:51Besides, we have my sons who uphold us.
00:26:57Hail Taliesin.
00:26:59I confess I should not like to miss the chance to fight under your blessing once more.
00:27:03Then you shall have it.
00:27:07Will you join me, teacher?
00:27:21Will you join me, teacher?
00:27:30Can't you leave?
00:27:33To be a good man, teacher.
00:27:34The harmed god.
00:27:36What did he offer you?
00:27:42Great power
00:27:45for a great price.
00:27:50Let us hope your refusal is not the doom of our people.
00:28:00My acceptance surely would have been.
00:28:16There is no other like him in all the Empire.
00:28:20There is no other like him in all the world.
00:28:28See you.
00:28:29See you.
00:28:31No!
00:28:34No!
00:28:36No!
00:28:36No!
00:28:37No!
00:28:39No!
00:28:44No!
00:28:52No!
00:28:53No!
00:28:54No!
00:28:56No!
00:28:58I do!
00:29:01No!
00:29:07No!
00:29:07No!
00:29:08No!
00:29:09No!
00:29:09No!
00:29:09No!
00:29:11No!
00:29:11No!
00:29:12No!
00:29:12No!
00:29:12No!
00:29:12No!
00:29:28Who could it be?
00:29:31Saxon.
00:29:32Irish.
00:29:34More likely a traveler stopping for rest in shade.
00:29:36I never thought we'd find it occupied.
00:29:39One horse is hardly an occupation, Colin.
00:29:41Still, we should wait.
00:29:44Maybe they'll move on.
00:29:48What are you doing?
00:29:49We didn't come all this way to Carl before the prize.
00:29:52No.
00:29:53We...
00:30:06No.
00:30:16Ave Maria.
00:30:21Goodness.
00:30:24Holy Mary, Mother of the Christ, have mercy on us.
00:30:29What manner of men are you?
00:30:32Unworthy men, Lady.
00:30:35I see.
00:30:38Why have you come here?
00:30:39Seeking this holy place.
00:30:41And who is this holy Mary of whom you speak?
00:30:51Why, uh...
00:30:52The Mother of the Most High.
00:30:55Yesu, the Christ Savior of mankind.
00:30:59You are not the Blessed Lady?
00:31:03There are those who would call me savior.
00:31:06But I've never heard of this goddess Mary.
00:31:09Goddess.
00:31:11Forgive us, Lady.
00:31:14We worship no god but the true god.
00:31:17The god who was once worshipped in this very place.
00:31:22The true god?
00:31:23Worshipped here?
00:31:26That seems unlikely.
00:31:29Again, I beg your forgiveness.
00:31:31We have traveled all the way from Gaul to find and restore this place.
00:31:35In order that the truth of our god might be proclaimed once more hereabouts.
00:31:40You speak often of truth.
00:31:43Is this god of yours so interested in truth?
00:31:46In truth, yes.
00:31:48But also...
00:31:49in love.
00:31:53I see.
00:31:53A strange god, then.
00:31:56And often disappointed, I should think.
00:31:58This is blasphemy.
00:32:00My companion studied under brother Martin in Tors.
00:32:04He is zealous,
00:32:06but perhaps less open-minded than the situation calls for.
00:32:12He's honest.
00:32:15If you wish to restore this place, you will need the permission of King Avalak.
00:32:20A fairy.
00:32:25You are of the fair folk who dwell in the glass isle.
00:32:29The people here tell many strange tales about you.
00:32:32Have you heard we change our shapes at will?
00:32:36Have you heard we never sleep or rest?
00:32:39And we have but to bid, and the wind brings us news from any corner of our realm.
00:32:44And more.
00:32:47And what do you believe, priest?
00:32:51We will believe whatever the Holy God reveals to us.
00:32:58I trusted a god once.
00:33:01Long ago.
00:33:05What happened?
00:33:12I killed him.
00:33:16I killed him.
00:33:17I killed him.
00:33:35I've never seen anything like it.
00:33:37Not in Rome, or Athens, or Constantinople itself.
00:33:42Julie.
00:33:43She's all the fairy.
00:33:45Hey brother, they are mortals, like as we.
00:33:51Mortals, perhaps. Never like us.
00:34:25And when it comes back, we only left and lost the road.
00:34:35To the forties.
00:34:37We only left, and when we left, we right.
00:34:41We left.
00:34:42And we left.
00:34:42And we left.
00:34:43And we left.
00:34:44Neither do I need it.
00:35:23Do you think these painted men will strike this far south?
00:35:30In time.
00:35:32Although, in Duffert, we heard the Emperor was withdrawing two legions from Ghor and sending troops back to the war.
00:35:42Here she is, King Elfin Apgwithno.
00:35:47I present to you my daughter, the Princess Karras, saviour of our people.
00:36:04Princess Karras?
00:36:07Your father was just telling us how you delivered your people from calamity.
00:36:13It is the way of fathers to exaggerate the accomplishments of their children.
00:36:19Never say it. Not an Atlantean draws breath that doesn't owe their life to my daughter.
00:36:28My people know something of loss as well.
00:36:34We too are strangers in these lands.
00:36:37Travelers are always welcome within these walls.
00:36:41Please stay with us, if you can.
00:36:44Allow me to share the bounty of my table this evening.
00:36:54Your offer is most generous.
00:36:59Please accept this token as a sign of our gratitude.
00:37:18You honour me, Lord Elfin.
00:37:39You give in a copies of other traditions.
00:37:41I wish you unto the circle.
00:37:42Know I love you.
00:38:00I gather his people have been driven from the homeland in the north.
00:38:05Driven?
00:38:06By war.
00:38:08War which will soon visit us in the south.
00:38:11If it is as bad as they declare...
00:38:16You don't believe them.
00:38:18Desperate men can never be trusted.
00:38:28Can they be trusted?
00:38:30Powerful men can never be trusted.
00:38:34What say you, son?
00:38:36Taliesin.
00:38:39Sorry, father.
00:38:41I need you in the present.
00:38:44Not lost in the past.
00:38:48King Avalak has shown kindness when kindness is not required.
00:38:56And you?
00:38:59I sense danger in this place.
00:39:05We must be wary.
00:39:06I'm sorry.
00:39:21Not anyone?
00:39:22We must be able to do this.
00:39:26Ah, but for many years of slavery you are here.
00:39:29I'm sorry, Evalak.
00:39:31And I have seen people on the island in our island.
00:39:35Come on.
00:39:37Then we're not allowed to deal with a little bit.
00:39:41I'm not allowed to be a hero.
00:39:49I have a good baby.
00:39:53To fall the Kepanah
00:39:57Tipo a alia larga
00:40:01Zellia fail
00:40:06Don't street
00:40:07A galang tipotha
00:40:20Let's go.
00:40:58Oh, you're well, King Havadag.
00:41:00An old wound, and deep.
00:41:03Pay me no heed.
00:41:11It is fortunate your people were able to escape the troubles in the north, King Elfin.
00:41:16The luck of Elfin Apguidno is legendary.
00:41:21Among our people, when breaking bread with new friends, it's customary to have a song.
00:41:27Alas, our best minstrels lie dead at the bottom of the great sea.
00:41:32Indeed.
00:41:33We have all seen our homes lost and kinsmen killed.
00:41:37And yet, our people escape not only with our lives, but with our greatest treasure.
00:41:45Afghan speaks truth.
00:41:48The treasure is my son.
00:41:49Taliesin, a bard of extraordinary talent.
00:41:55Is this true?
00:41:58Taliesin.
00:41:59Yes.
00:42:02Is this true?
00:42:07It is the way of fathers to exaggerate the accomplishments of their children.
00:42:12False modesty is unbecoming, Taliesin.
00:42:16King Havadag has shared his bounty with us.
00:42:18Let us share ours with him.
00:42:32.
00:42:33What sport?
00:42:36What sport?
00:42:49We have to leave us alone.
00:43:07Hear then, if you will, the lament of Puig, Prince of Anuvan.
00:43:19In the days when the dew of creation was still fresh upon the earth, Puig was lord over
00:43:24the seven Catrefs of Doved, seven of Gwynev and seven of Lloiger as well.
00:43:31In Kar-Narbev, his principal stronghold, he awakened one morning to look upon the hills,
00:43:38abounding with gain.
00:43:41A thought came to him, and he assembled his men to go out hunting.
00:43:49And this is the way of it.
00:43:59In Glincolk, as the light of day did fade, into the western sea, into the sea.
00:44:11In the hunting grounds loosed the hounds to play, but they were not alone, not alone.
00:44:28Another worldly king, our round of Anuvan, his own hound pack, a mighty stag did kill.
00:44:41And upon this unawares dead ride came quills.
00:45:12I was so afraid.
00:45:15I was so afraid.
00:45:18It's the end of the day.
00:45:23It's the end of the day.
00:45:29I'm here, Doris.
00:45:32I'm here, Doris.
00:45:38I'm here, Doris!
00:45:47I'm here, Doris!
00:46:18Oh!
00:46:20Oh!
00:46:21Oh!
00:46:24Oh!
00:46:31Let's go.
00:46:58Let's go.
00:47:30Let's go.
00:48:02Let's go.
00:48:34Let's go.

00:49:14Let's go.
00:49:20Let's go.
00:49:25Let's go.
00:49:33Let's go.
00:49:34Let's go.
00:49:36Let's go.
00:49:36Let's go.
00:49:36Let's go.
00:49:37Let's go.
00:50:11Let's go.
00:50:34Let's go.
00:50:43Let's go.

00:51:47Let's go.
00:51:54Let's go.
