with our banners
held high, sire.
You're right, Gawain.
Raise your banners
And your hearts, men!
We're home!
( all cheering )
( cheers continuing )
Where is everyone?
Something's
wrong, sire.
I didn't expect this
kind of homecoming.
What's wrong here?
Guinevere.
Where's Merlin?
Where's Lancelot?
I'll tell you.
Who the devil are you?
Elegantly put.
"who the devil...?"
Yes, indeed.
Who the devil.
Well, don't you
recognize me?
No. Should I?
Oh, I'm hurt.
Here in my heart.
Not usually
my most vulnerable spot.
I recognize you... Father.
I'm your long-lost
son, Mordred.
Morgan le Fay...
Is your mother.
Not "is," father. "was."
She passed over
into a better world.
She sleeps alone
at last.
A great loss.
One day she was laughing,
smiling
The next, gone--
like a Summer's breeze
In the midst of life
Et cetera, et cetera
and so on and so forth.
It's why I'm here.
I don't understand.
To protect your
interests, father.
You see, your interests
are my interests.
Whilst you were away
To cleanse your soul...
How should I put it?
You were being betrayed.
Merlin:
Mordred!
That's enough.
It isn't.
Merlin, let's speak
the truth at last.
Father...
This isn't the time!
Courtiers:
It is!
Father...
Lancelot betrayed you
with the Queen.
Or should it be the Queen
betrayed you with Lancelot?
You were betrayed.
Guinevere.
This isn't the place
to discuss this.
Mordred:
Oh, I think it's
the perfect place!
Is it true?
Arthur, you are
just returned.
We must talk calmly...
Guinevere,
is it true?
Yes, it's true.
Mordred, you have
no right to be here.
I have every right
to be here.
This isn't
a private matter.
It concerns us all.
How could you
do that to me?
Didn't you think
of me at all?
You left me
alone for years.
Did you not
think of me?
What of my honor?
Finding out you had a
child by Morgan le Fay?
Good one.
Come, come, father.
This is becoming
distressingly personal.
You're forgetting
it's a matter of state.
Matter of state?!
We are talking
treason here.
Aren't we?
My lords?
( courtiers murmuring
in dissent )
I don't see it
as treason.
She betrayed me
and only me.
That's enough.
No, sire.
Mordred is right.
You are the king
And that makes
adultery treason.
Then we must condemn
her to death.
Merlin:
Do you really think
we should do that?
It's the law.
Merlin:
It's harsh.
It must be.
My lords, this is a time
When we should temper
Justice with mercy.
After all, your religion
proclaims it.
Let he who is not guilty of sin
cast the first Stone.
Now, I know I have been
guilty in my time
And I suspect that
you have been, too.
I must confess,
I have sinned a little.
( all laughing )
So we make excuses for her
because she is a Queen.
Because
she is human.
No, because she
is Arthur's wife.
Are we going back
to one law for the rulers
And one for the ruled?
Is that the way it is?
Arthur, I thought Camelot
was to be different.
It is.
Then show the world you mean it.
Merlin, what should I do?
In the end,
you must uphold the law.
Guinevere will be
tried for treason.
A splendid decision.
Both fair and just,
eh, father?
Now, let's drink
and enjoy ourselves.
I want you out
of Camelot.
But, father, I've
only just arrived.
about old times
And play happy family.
Stop him talking!
You can't mean
that, father.
I'm your beloved son,
the crown Prince
Your one and only heir.
I want you out
of my sight.
Embrace me, father.
Never.
Or I'll take what's
rightfully mine.
Guards, seize him!
Don't get up.
I know my way out.
I'm sorry, father,
And this time
your pet wizard
won't save you.
Mab?
I'm here, Nimue.
You made me a promise
years ago.
Will you keep it?
Yes.
But what made you
change your mind?
The king is
coming home.
Merlin is free
to be with me.
I've discovered all
I want is Merlin.
Will you agree
to live with him
In a place that I choose?
If you make me
whole again.
I have to warn you, Nimue
That if you go
to this place
Will he come
to me there?
Yes, he will.
Then do it, Mab.
Man:
Burn in hell!
I can't bear
to watch.
The sin was mine,
not hers.
She's burning.
It's too late.
Merlin...
Come on.
Merlin:
Lancelot always left everything
to the last moment.
And my memory of Lancelot
Is that he never
got anything right.
Thank God.
And so Lancelot and Guinevere
rode out of my story
And into legend.
What's the meaning of this?
You tricked us, father.
You pretended to condemn
the Queen to the stake
Then you had her
rescued by your wizard.
You hadn't even the courage
to set her free yourself.
That's true.
I should have done it.
One law for you
and another for us.
Courtier:
We can't live like that.
Others:
We can't.
Do you hear?
They can't live like that.
I call upon
all true-born Britons
To rally to freedom's flag!
Courtiers:
Yeah!
Depose this...
( yells )
You caught me
by surprise, father.
I know how that is.
Nobles
The time for
talking is over.
Those who value right
Who's there?
Father abbot.
I rode all night
to get here.
Nimue's gone.
She's gone?
Yeah.
But she left
you a message
That she'll be
waiting for you
At the door of magic.
You're a liar.
Oh, Merlin.
How can you say
such a thing?
You're a liar!
( laughing and shuddering )
I'm glad to see
You haven't lost all
I've lost none of them.
And it was Frik who taught me.
Don't mention that ingrate.
He's left my employment
Without a reference.
Anyway...
Nimue has gone.
And she does want
you to join her
When you're ready.
Merlin...
My noblemen don't want you
with us against Mordred.
They say that if you come,
then they won't follow me.
Ah.
What will you do now?
Close my books.
Break my wand and retire.
I have a life to live
and a Chance to live it.
Nimue?
I'm going to meet her now.
Will you be able
to deal with Mordred?
It's just one more battle.
And right is on our side.
I'm proud of you, Arthur.
Don't worry
about me, Merlin.
I've still got Excalibur.
Hello.
Nimue!
Nimue:
Merlin. I am here.
Look.
Look where we are.
( rustling )
Come.
( wolf howls )
Wait.
This is all Mab.
Oh, forget her.
We've wasted so much
of our lives together already.
Now it's our turn.
Isn't it what
you always wanted?
Oh!
( yelling )
Gawain!
What a pleasant surprise.
Stop talking, Mordred,
and fight.
conversation before you die.
But as you wish.
( chuckling )
( yelling )
Father!
Father!
Clever boy.
Father! Father!
( grunting )
So...
Mordred.
Hello...
Father.
