Short filmTranscript
00:07No young man, no matter how great, can know his destiny.
00:15He cannot glimpse his part in the great story that is about to unfold.
00:22Like everyone, he must live and learn.
00:30And so it will be for the young warlock arriving at the gates of Camelot.
00:37A boy that will in time father a legend.
00:45His name, Merlin.
01:03He is a man.
01:09He will be the king.
01:18He will be the king.
01:22He will be the king.
01:27He will be the king.
01:37He will be the king.
01:41He will be the king.
01:46He will be the king.
02:10Let this serve as a lesson to all.
02:14This man, Thomas James Collins,
02:19is a judge guilty of conspiring to use enchantments and magic.
02:24And pursuant to the laws of Camelot,
02:28I, Uther Pendragon,
02:31have decreed that such practices are banned
02:34on penalty of death.
02:38I pride myself as a fair and just king.
02:41But for the crime of sorcery,
02:44there is but one sentence I can pass.
02:51THE END
02:51THE END
03:12Well, I came to this land.
03:14This kingdom was mired in chaos.
03:18But with the people's help, magic was driven from the realm.
03:23So I declare a festival to celebrate twenty years since the great dragon was captured
03:29and Camelot freed from the evil of sorcery.
03:34Let the celebrations begin.
03:45There is only one evil in this land and it is not magic.
03:48It is you with your hatred and your ignorance.
04:03And I promise you, before these celebrations are over, you will share my tears.
04:13And I for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, a son for a son.
04:19Seize her!
04:52Where would I find Guy's, the court physician?
04:54Yeah.
05:17There?
05:36Guys?
05:56What did you just do?
05:59Tell me.
06:01I have no idea what happened.
06:03If anyone had seen that.
06:05No, that was nothing to do with me.
06:07I know what it was.
06:09I just want to know where you learned how to do it.
06:11Nowhere.
06:12So how was it you know magic?
06:13I don't.
06:15Where did you study?
06:17I don't know.
06:18I've never studied magic or been taught.
06:20Are you lying to me, boy?
06:22What do you want me to say?
06:24The truth.
06:24I was born like this.
06:25That's impossible.
06:29Who are you?
06:31Oh, I have this letter.
06:37I don't have my glasses.
06:39I'm Merlin.
06:41Who this, son?
06:43Yes.
06:44But you're not meant to be here till Wednesday.
06:46It is Wednesday.
06:50Ah.
06:51Right then.
06:53You better put your back in there.
06:59You won't say anything about...
07:02No.
07:07Hello, Merlin.
07:09I should say thank you.
07:11I should say thank you.
07:27I should say, no, I should say...
07:32I have seven, three like three Autobots.
07:33Oh, that's invertebrate.
07:43Let me go.
07:45Yeah, I need to be there.
07:58My dear Gaius, I turn to you for I feel lost and alone and don't know who to trust.
08:05It is every mother's fate to think her child is special, and yet I would give my life that Merlin
08:10were not so.
08:12Ours is a small village, and he is so clearly at odds with people here that if he were to
08:18remain, I fear what would become of him.
08:21He needs a hand to hold, a voice to guide, someone that might help him find a purpose for his
08:27gifts.
08:29I beg you, if you understand a mother's love for her son, keep him safe, and may God save you
08:37both.
08:41Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
08:50oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
09:00Morgana.
09:02Yes?
09:02What is this?
09:03Why are you not showing us at the feast?
09:07I just don't think chopping someone's head off is cause for celebration.
09:13That poor mother.
09:14It was simple justice for what he'd done.
09:16To whom?
09:17He practiced some magic.
09:19He didn't hurt anyone.
09:20You were not around 20 years ago.
09:21You have no idea what it was like.
09:23How long are you going to keep punishing people for what happened then?
09:25Until they realize there is no room for magic in my kingdom.
09:29You will be with me when I greet Lady Helen.
09:31I told you I want no part of each other.
09:33I am your guardian.
09:35I expect you to do as I ask.
09:38If you show me no respect, at least respect our finest singer.
09:43You know, the more brutal you are, the more enemies you'll create.
09:46I've been waiting.
09:54I'm waiting.
10:12I'm waiting.
10:19Hello? Gregory?
10:25Lady Helen.
10:27Is all well?
10:29Yes, ma'am. With luck, we should reach Camelot Lake tomorrow.
10:32That's good.
10:33I'll be outside if you need me.
10:54Who's there?
10:58Who's there?
11:01Who's there?
11:02No!
11:17Aqualastia!
11:20Don't!
11:22Aqualastia!
11:25Aqualastia!
11:27Aqualastia!
11:27Aqualastia!
11:40Aqualastia!
11:42My friend, I'm not seeing you.
11:46Aqualastia!
11:50Aqualastia!
11:52Aqualastia!
11:54Aqualastia!
11:55Aqualastia!
12:08Aqualastia!
12:13Aqualastia!
12:14Aqualastia!
12:17Aqualastia!
12:36I got you water.
12:38You didn't wash last night.
12:41Sorry.
12:42Help yourself to breakfast.
12:58How did you do that?
13:00Did you encounter a spell in your mind?
13:03I don't know any spells.
13:04So what did you do?
13:06There must be something.
13:07It just happens.
13:14Well, we'd better keep you out of trouble.
13:16You can help me until I find some paid work for you.
13:20Here, hollyhock and fifa view for Lady Percival.
13:23This is for Sir Alwyn.
13:24He's as blind as a weevil, so warn him not to take it all at once.
13:28Okay.
13:29And here.
13:35Off you go.
13:39And Merlin, I need hardly tell you that the practice of any form of enchantments will get you killed.
14:05I brought you your medicine.
14:14Oh, my God said don't drink it all.
14:16Come on.
14:17Okay.
14:22I'm sure it's fine.
14:30Where's the target?
14:32There, sir.
14:33It's into the sun.
14:35But it's not that bright.
14:37A bit like you, then.
14:38I'll put the target on the other end, shall I say.
14:44This will feature me.
14:51Hey, hang on.
14:53Don't stop.
14:58Here?
14:59I told you to keep moving.
15:04Come on.
15:06Run.
15:09Do you want some moving target practice?
15:25Hey.
15:26Come on.
15:27That's enough.
15:29What?
15:30You've had your fun, my friend.
15:33Do I know you?
15:34I'm Merlin.
15:35So I don't know you?
15:36No.
15:37Yeah, you called me friend.
15:39That was my mistake.
15:40Yes, I think so.
15:41Yeah.
15:42I'd never have a friend who could be such an ass.
15:46Or I, one who could be so stupid.
15:49Tell me, Merlin, do you know how to walk on your knees?
15:52No.
15:53Would you like me to help you?
15:54I wouldn't if I were you.
15:56Why?
15:57What are you going to do to me?
15:58You have no idea.
15:59Be my guest.
16:00Come on.
16:02Come on.
16:04Come on.
16:08I'll have to put you in jail for that.
16:10Well, who do you think you are?
16:11The king?
16:11No.
16:12I'm his son.
16:13Arthur.
16:20Arthur.
16:30Arthur.
16:34Arthur.
16:34Arthur.
16:35Arthur.
16:56I'm dead.
17:01I'm here to the king.
17:16Lady Helen, thank you so much for coming to sing at our celebrations.
17:22Pleasure's all right.
17:23How was your journey?
17:24The time it took, Si.
17:26Well, it's always worth the wait.
17:29It will be.
17:42Manny.
17:46Manny.
17:52Manny.
17:54Manny?
17:59Manny?
18:03Manny.
18:05You never cease to amaze me.
18:08The one thing that someone like you should do is keep your head down.
18:12And what do you do?
18:13You behave like an idiot.
18:14Manny I'm sorry.
18:15Manny I've managed to pull a few strings to get you released.
18:19Manny.
18:20Manny.
18:21Manny.
18:32Manny.
18:57I'm Guinevere, but most people call me Gwen.
19:00I'm the Lady Morgana's maid.
19:02Right, I'm Merlin.
19:06Although most people just call me idiot.
19:09No, no, no, I saw what you did.
19:11You're so brave.
19:12You're stupid.
19:14Well, I'm glad you walked away.
19:15You weren't going to beat him.
19:17Oh, why?
19:18I can beat him.
19:19You think?
19:21Because you don't look like one of these big, muscly kind of fellows.
19:26Thanks.
19:27No, no, I'm sure you're stronger than you look.
19:30Look, it's just, um, Arthur's one of these real rough, tough, save the world kind of men and, well.
19:37What?
19:37You don't look like that.
19:42I'm in disguise.
19:47Well, it's great you stood up to me.
19:49You think so?
19:50Arthur's a bully, and everyone thought you were a real hero.
19:58Oh, excuse me, Guinevere.
20:00My pants are waiting.
20:10You want some vegetables with that?
20:14I know you're still angry with me.
20:16Your mother asked me to look after you.
20:19Yes.
20:20What did your mother say to you about your gifts?
20:26That I was special?
20:28You are special.
20:29The likes of which I've never seen before.
20:33What do you mean?
20:34Well, magic requires incantations, spells.
20:38It takes years to study.
20:39What I saw you do was elemental, instinctive.
20:44What's the point if it can't be used?
20:46That I do not know.
20:49You are a question that has never been posed before, Merlin.
20:56Did you ever study magic?
21:00Uther banned all such work 20 years ago.
21:03Why?
21:04People used magic for the wrong end at that time.
21:07It threw the natural order into chaos.
21:10Uther made it his mission to destroy everything from back then, even the dragons.
21:15What, all of them?
21:16There was one dragon he chose not to kill.
21:20Kept it as an example.
21:22He imprisoned it in a cave deep beneath the castle.
21:27Where no one can free it.
21:31Now, meet up.
21:32You've finished.
21:33I need you to take a preparation to Lady Helen.
21:35She needs it for her voice.
21:37Let's see.
21:37I'll be right there again.hip.
21:48I don't know.
22:12I don't know.
22:40I don't know.
22:40What are you doing in here?
22:42Um, I was asked to deliver this.
23:09I'm sitting down over here.
23:14How's your knee-walking coming along?
23:17Oh, don't run away.
23:21From you.
23:22Oh, thank God.
23:23I thought you were deaf as well as dumb.
23:26Look, I've told you you're an ass.
23:28I just didn't realise you were a royal one.
23:32Oh, what are you going to do?
23:35Get your daddy's men to protect you?
23:38I could take you apart with one below.
23:40I could take you apart with less than that.
23:42You sure?
23:43Come on.
23:49Here you go, big man.
23:54Come on, then.
23:57I warn you.
23:58I've been trained to kill since birth.
24:00Wow.
24:01How long have you been training to be a prat?
24:05You can't address me like that.
24:07Sorry.
24:08How long have you been training to be a prat?
24:11My lord.
24:19How long have you been training to be a prat?
24:50You're in trouble now.
24:52Oh, boy.
25:10Ow!
25:25Do you want to give up?
25:26Do you want to give up?
25:43Wait, let him go. He may be an idiot, but he's a brave one.
25:49There's something about you, Merlin. I can't quite put my finger on it.
25:57How could you be so foolish?
25:59He needed to be taught a lesson.
26:01Magic must be studied, mastered and used for good, not for idiotic pranks.
26:05What is it, a master? I could move objects like that before I could talk.
26:09Then right now you should know how to control yourself.
26:11I don't want to. If I can't use magic, what have I got?
26:15I'm just a nobody, and who always will be.
26:19If I can't use magic, I might as well die.
26:37Merlin, sit up. Take your shirt off.
26:54You don't know why I was born like this, do you?
26:58No.
27:01I'm not a monster, am I?
27:05Don't ever think that.
27:08Then why am I like this? Please, I need to know why.
27:14Maybe there's someone with more knowledge than me.
27:18If you can't tell me, no one can.
27:32Take this.
27:34We'll help with the pain.
27:58Will you sing for me tonight?
28:00You will have to wait, sire.
28:01You will not deny me.
28:02I am saving myself for my performance tomorrow.
28:06Will everyone be there?
28:08Who would dare to miss it?
28:10How about your son?
28:13It seems a shame not to have met him.
28:15What's Arthur?
28:18Poor child.
28:20Poor child, it can't have been easy to grow up without a mother.
28:25No.
28:26Hmm.
28:28That bond between mother and son.
28:31It's so hard to replace.
28:34Hasn't been easy.
28:35Sure.
28:41Perhaps if you found someone.
28:43If you remarried.
28:47I'm sure you'd have the pick of any lady in the kingdom.
28:50Well.
28:51Perhaps I'll find love again.
28:54But I'm afraid it's too late to replace Arthur's mother.
28:58Yes.
29:00It's certainly too late for Arthur.
29:11My...
29:15My...
30:07My...
30:09My...
30:09My...
30:11My...
30:23Oh, my God.
30:44Oh, my God.
31:27Oh, my God.
31:48Oh, my God.
32:00Oh, my God.
32:11For such a great destiny.
32:16Why? What do you mean?
32:18What destiny?
32:21Your gift, Merlin, was given to you for a reason.
32:27So there is a reason?
32:31Arthur is the once and future king who will unite the land of Albion.
32:37Right.
32:38But he faces many threats, from friend and foe alike.
32:44I don't see what this has to do with me.
32:46Everything.
32:47Without you, Arthur will never succeed.
32:51Without you, there will be no Albion.
32:55No.
32:56No.
32:56No, you've got this wrong.
32:57There is no right or wrong.
33:00Only what is and what isn't.
33:03I'm serious.
33:04If anyone wants to go and kill him, they can go ahead.
33:06In fact, I'll give them a hand.
33:10None of us can choose our destiny, Merlin.
33:16And none of us can escape it.
33:19No.
33:21No way.
33:22No.
33:23No.
33:23There must be another Arthur because this one's an idiot.
33:26Perhaps it's your destiny to change that.
33:38Wait.
33:40Wait.
33:41Wait, stop.
33:42I need to know more.
33:59Have you seen the state of this room?
34:03It just happens.
34:05By magic?
34:06Yeah.
34:07Yes.
34:08Well, you can clear it up without magic.
34:11Then I want you to get me some herbs.
34:13Headbane, wormwood and sorrel.
34:15And deliver this to Morgana.
34:18Poor girl suffering from nightmares.
34:24I know the feeling.
34:46You know, I've been thinking about Arthur.
34:49I wouldn't touch him with the Lance Pearl.
34:51Pass me that dress, will you, Gwen?
34:55I mean, the man's a total jouster.
34:59Just because I'm the king's ward, that doesn't mean I have to accompany him to the feast.
35:03Does it?
35:07Well, does it?
35:08Mm-mm.
35:09If he wants me to go, then he should invite me.
35:12And he hasn't.
35:13So do you know what that means?
35:15Mm-mm.
35:16Where are you?
35:18Here?
35:19It means I'm going by myself.
35:25I need some help with this fastening.
35:29Gwen?
35:31I'm here.
35:43So, it's whether I wear this little tease.
35:47Or give them a night they'll really remember.
36:03Lady Helen, compliments of the king.
36:07Come in.
36:12So sweet.
36:14How will I ever repay him?
36:16Well, when he hears you sing.
36:18Well, that'd be more than enough, won't it?
36:20I'm really looking forward to the performance.
36:23So am I.
36:26I love singing, you know.
36:28I sing all the time.
36:29My betrayed says I have the voice of a fallen angel.
36:48Oh!

42:36No, honestly, you don't have to, Your Highness.
42:38No, absolutely.
42:39This merits something quite special.
42:42Well, you shall be awarded a position in the royal household.
42:46You shall be Prince Arthur's manservant.
42:50Arthur!
43:12It seems you're a hero.
43:14Hard to believe, isn't it?
43:15No.
43:16I knew it from the moment I met you.
43:18You saved my life, remember?
43:20But that was magic.
43:23And now it seems we finally found a use for it.
43:26What do you mean?
43:27I saw how you saved Arthur's life.
43:29Ah, no.
43:30Perhaps that's its purpose.
43:34My destiny.
43:37Indeed.
43:41This book was given to me when I was your age.
43:44But I have a feeling it will be of more use to you than it was to me.
44:14But this is a book of magic.
44:16Which is why you must keep it hidden.
44:19I will study every word.
44:26Merlin, Prince Arthur wants you right away.
44:29Her destiny is calling.
44:31You better find out what he wants.
44:53The tournament begins!
44:58I trust you will make me proud.
45:01I need a servant I can trust.
45:03You can trust me completely.
45:05Get out of my sight!
45:07Whatever you think my destiny is,
45:09whatever it is you think I'm supposed to do,
45:13you've got the wrong person!
45:25No!
45:51A new hobby!
45:51A new hobby!
