Transcript:With All My Heart

KILGARAH:  In a land of myth and a time of magic, the destiny of a great kingdom rests on the shulders of a young man, his name. . .Merlin

[NEW SCENE: GWEN IS WALKING THROUGH THE CASTLE AND IS JUST ABOUT TO LEAVE WHEN PERCIVAL SEES HER]

PERCIVAL: Show yourself.

[GWEN TURNS AROUND TO FACE HIM.]

PERCIVAL: Your highness. Are you alright? Is something wrong?

GWEN: No, no, all is well.

PERCIVAL: It's dangerous to be out at such an hour.

GWEN: I am greatful you are so sweeterless in your dutys.

PERCIVAL: It's not where I have thought to found you, your highness.

GWEN: One does not alway wish to be your highness Percival. I miss the old town, its streets, its people, so I go back sometimes.

PERCIVAL: Is that wise?

GWEN : Well, people only see a Queen when they expect too.

PERCIVAL: All the same-

GWEN: And it reminds me of Elyan. . .and I need that sometimes.

PERCIVAL: Of course. I understand.

GWEN: I am not sure Arthur would.

PERCIVAL: I wouldn't imagine it.

GWEN: Thank you.

[NEW SCENE: GWEN IS MEETING MORGANA IN THE WOODS]

MORGANA: Your late.

GWEN: I'm sorry.

MORGANA: Is there a problem?

GWEN: Nothing I could not handle.

MORGANA: Did you get what I asked for?

[GWEN HAND MORGANA A SCROLL]

GWEN: It wasn't easy. Details of the route the leveycollection will take, the knights their arms, andthe day they depart.

MORGANA: You have done well Gwen.

GWEN: How can you further our course. ..

[NEW SCENE: ARTHUR WATCHING GWEN TALK WITH MORGANA. HE TAKES OUT HIS SWORD BUT MERLIN STOPS HIM.]

MERLIN: You will not. Morgana is too powerful, now is not the time.

ARTHUR: How could she do this?

MERLIN: She's not the Gwen you love. She has fallen pray to her dark and powerful magic.

ARTHUR: If I lose her I lose everything.

MERLIN: We will find a way to bring her back Arthur. I promise.

OPENING CREDITS

[NEW SCENE: ARTHUR AND GWEN ARE HAVING BREAKFAST AND ARTHUR IS STARING AT HER]

GWEN: I thought I might ride this morning.

ARTHUR: Yes?

GWEN: Would you like to join me?

ARTHUR: That wouldn't be possible.

GWEN: Oh, well perhaps this afternoon then?

ARTHUR: Perhaps.

GWEN: Arthur is everything all right? You seem distracted.

ARTHUR: Not at all. Pressing matters of state, thats all, I'm sorry.

GWEN: I understand. Is there anything that I can help you with?

ARTHUR: It won't be necessary.

[ARTHUR GETS UP AND LEAVES WITH HIS FOOD HARDLEY TUCHED]

GWEN: You've hardley eaten.

ARTHUR: I have a training session I must attend to.

GWEN: Well perhaps I will see you later?

[NEW SCENE: ARTHUR WALKS INTO A SECRET ROOM WITH MORDRED AND LEON AND LOCKS THE DOOR.]

ARTHUR: Gentalmen. Select a new route to collect the levey, commit it to memory.

MORDRED: My Lord?

ARTHUR: You must tell no one that we have changed the plans until the patrol is on its way. Is that understood?

LEON: Sire.

ARTHUR: Mordred?

MORDRED: Of course, but. . . May I ask why we are. . . changing the route my lord? Its another days ride.

ARTHUR: I can't tell you that. I'm just asking you to trust me. . .good. We leave in three days.

[ARTHUR BURNS THE OLD ROUTE]

[NEW SCENE: MERLIN IS LOOKING FOR SPELLS TO HELP GWEN IN GAIUS'S CHAMBERS]

MERLIN: Why did I promise to help Gwen. I have no idea what to do. Is there really no remidy?

GAIUS: If Gwen has suffered what I suspect then no, I fear not.

MERLIN: You know what happened to her?

GAIUS: When I was younger I herd about an ancient ritual of the old religion called the Tiena Tiaga.

MERLIN: Tiena Tiaga?

GAIUS: The sacred fire. The ritual used the mandrake root to bring unimaginable terror to the victum. The screams could be herd 28 leages away. When it was finally over her will was no longer their own. They were slaves of the high priestessess for eternety.

MERLIN: Who preformed this ritual?

GAIUS: I have told you all I know. Such mysteries were revealled only to a handful of female initers. As a boy I was pretty only to rumers.

MERLIN: There must be someone who can help.

GAIUS: I can only think of two people who know the old ways. One is Morgana Pendragon. ..

[NEW SCENE: MERLIN WALKING INTO A CAVE AND TURNS HIMSELF INTO DRAGOON THE GREAT]

GAIUS: The other is the Dochraid. But be warned Merlin, the Dochraid can not be trusted. She must never know your true identity.

DOCHRAID: Who dares enter the sacred cave?

DRAGOON:  I come to petition the Dochraid.

DOCHRAID: Give me your hand.

[DRAGOON GIVES HER HIS HAND AND SHE SNIFFS IT.]

DOCHRAID: I smell the stench of enmity.

DRAGOON: I come in peace. In friendship.

DOCHRAID: You are no friend of the old religion. No friend of Morgana Pendragon.

DRAGOON: Dochraid-

DOCHRAID: Scilence! I know you Emris. Your Queen will find no relief here.

DRAGOON: How do you know why I come?

DOCHRAID: I am the Dochraid. The earth speaks to me, you are not welcome here. Depart.

DRAGOON:  Oh I can not do that. Not until I have what I came for.

DOCHRAID: You dare challenge me, the ancient Dochraid? You? A puny sorceror?

DRAGOON: And yet I will have what I came for.

DOCHRAID: I ama creature of the earth. You can not kill me.

[DRAGOON TAKES OUT EXCALIBER AND SHOWS IT TO THE DOCHRAID]

DRAGOON: This sword was forged in a dragons breath and it will do my bidding.

DOCHRAID: You do not have the power, to wield such a weapon.

[DRAGOON SWINGS THE SWORD AND HITS THE DOCHRAIDS ARM WITH A FATAL BLOW]

DRAGOON: I wish you no furthur harm Dochraid, tell me what I need to know.

DOCHRAID: Your Queen is doomed Emris. Her spirit has been consumed by the Tiena Tiaga. Bound by the silver wheel for all eternity. Her body is nothing but an emety vessal filled by the will of another.

DRAGOON: Morgana.

DOCHRAID: Once she has served her purpose, then that too will be cast away.

DRAGOON: How do I break this spell?

DOCHRAID: Only the greatest of sorcerors can attempt such a thing.

[DRAGOON POINTS THE SWORD AT THE DOCHRAID AGAIN]

DRAGOON: Now

DOCHRAID: You must travel to the couldren of Alyandrod. There you will need all of your powers. For you must summon the White Godess, herself.

DRAGOON: And that is all?

DOCHRAID: No Emris. The Queen must enter the couldren, its waters hold that the Godess power. Only their touch can heal her. Remember Emris, the Queen must enter the water willingly, if she is tricked, forced or beguialled, she will fall into the abyss and be lost forever.

DRAGOON: Thank you, Great Dochraid. Thank you.

[DRAGOON STARTS TO LEAVE THE CAVE BUT THE DOCHRAID THROWS A SWORD AT HIM. DRAGOON USES MAGIC TO REPELL IT AND ATTACKS THE DOCHRAID WITH EXCALIBER AGAIN, WOUNDING HER. AND THEN LEAVES THE CAVE.]

[NEW SCENE: ARTHUR IS LOOKING OUTSIDE THE WINDOW AND SEES MERLIN RETURN FROM HIS EXPEDITION. MORDRED APPROACHES ARTHUR.]

MORDRED: Sire? Is all well?

ARTHUR: Yes. . .thank you.

MORDRED: Is there anything I can do?

ARTHUR: I'm sorry?

MORDRED: Just wanted you to know that I'm always at your service.

ARTHUR: I never douted it.

[MORDRED NODS HIS HEAD AT ARTHUR AND LEAVES. ARTHUR GOES BACK TO STARING OUT THE WINDOW]

[NEW SCENE: MERLIN SPEAKING TO GAIUS ABOUT WHAT THE DOCHRAID TOLD HIM.]

MERLIN: There are too many things to go wrong and summoning the White Godess, that may be beyond me.

GAIUS: I think not, Merlin the only person who ever doubt your power is you.

MERLIN: And even if I do manage that we need to get Gwen to the couldren in the first place. She is hardly likely to go willingly.

GAIUS: Arthur already thought of that.

[GAIUS SHOWES MERLIN A POTION AND MERLINTAKES THE POTION BOTTLE AND INSPECTS IT.]

MERLIN: The Jrew Belladona?

GAIUS: All that studying has already paid off.

MERLIN: Its a powerful dangerous drug Gaius.

GAIUS: More dangerous than the traiter in the heart of Camolot?

MERLIN: Besides Gwen needs to be concious when she entersw the couldren. She must do so of her own free will or the spell will not be broken.

GAIUS: That I agree may not be within our powers.

MERLIN: Ok then the rest is sewicidal.

GAIUS:  But there is for someone who is possible.

MERLIN: Arthur?

[GAIUS NODS HIS HEAD YES TO MERLIN]

GAIUS: Only he can reach the part of Gwen that remains true.

MERLIN: It won't work.

GAIUS: You under estamate the power of love, Merlin?

MERLIN: No, not that me. How can I use my magic with Arthur there? He would discover me in an instant.

GAIUS: Not if he didn't recodnize you.

MERLIN: (chuckles) No. Not again. You know how exaghsting the aging spell is Gaius. I don't have to strength to do that and preform the ceramony.

GAIUS: Then you must find the strength.

[NEW SCENE: ARTHUR, GAIUS AND MERLIN TALKING PRIVATELY IN A HIDDEN ROOM.]

ARTHUR: The Belladona, what are its effects?

GAIUS: The patient is rendered into a deep sleep.

ARTHUR: Patient?!

GAIUS: It is generally used for the badley wounded.

ARTHUR: How long does it last?

GAIUS: A few hours. It has to be administered several times a day to provide a continous sleep.

MERLIN: But, for no more thanm three days.

GAIUS: It is true Sire. The Belladona should not be taken for an extended period.

ARTHUR: Or?

MERLIN: The body will not tolerate it.

ARTHUR: Thank you Merlin.

GAIUS: Three days is time enough to ride to the couldren of Alyandrod.

ARTHUR: You've done the journey yourself?

GAIUS: I can not claim too-

ARTHUR: Any mishap, any unexpected circumstance will-

GAIUS: There is no reason to expect that all will not go well. My Lord if we do nothing, Gwen is already taken from you.

ARTHUR: Merlin. ..

[ARTHUR AND MERLIN EXCHANGE A GLANCE AGREEING TO DO THIS.]

ARTHUR: Summoning this Godess, will it require magic?

GAIUS: It is a ritual that can only be preformed by a sorceror. It is the only way, Sire. Sorcery has to be fought with sorcery.

ARTHUR: I'll be breaking my own decrees. ..

GAIUS: To save your Queen, to save your wife.

ARTHUR: Very well. Its decided. There will be a sorceror. . .can he be trusted?

GAIUS: Upon my life.

ARTHUR: You assured me once before Gaius, that my father died in the hands of such a man.

GAIUS: This sorceror will be entirely different.

ARTHUR: How can you be sure?

GAIUS: Because Sire. . .this time I have chosen. . .a woman.

[MERLIN GIVES GAIUS A STRANGE LOOK]

[NEW SCENE: ARTHUR WALKS IN HIS CHAMBERS THINKING. GWEN WALKS UP BEHIND HIM]

GWEN: How was the training my Lord?

ARTHUR: Fine.

GWEN: Did you win?. . .Lose?

ARTHUR: A little of both.

GWEN: You are a terrible liar Arthur. Your wearing the same clothes you wore this morning and your armor remains untouched. I'm not a fool. Wherever you've been it wasn't the training grounds.

ARTHUR: I um-

GWEN: Have I done somthing wrong? Spoken out of turn? Said somthing I shoulden't?. . .I'm your wife Arthur, I wouldn't see you hurt for the world. Now tell me what's troubling you.

ARTHUR (sadly): I love you Guinevere more than you can imagine. There isn't anything I would not do for you.

GWEN: I know, I-

[ARTHUR PULLS GWEN INTO A STRONG EMBRACE. GWEN IS LOOKING PUZZLED AND ARTHUR IS LOOKING OUT REALLY SADLY]

[NEW SCENE: MERLIN IN GAIUS'S CHAMBERS TRYING ON A DRESS]

MERLIN: What do you think?

GAIUS: Ah. Well. . .it quite suits you acually.

MERLIN: Haha. . .thanks.

[MERLIN STARTS HEADING TO HIS ROOM]

GAIUS: Your forgetting one thing.

[MERLIN TURNS BACK TO GAIUS LOOKING PUZZLED]

MERLIN: It needs a belt.

[MERLIN STARTS HEADING BACK TO HIS ROOMWHEN GAIUS CALLS HIM BACK AGAIN HOLDING THE BELLADONA POTION]

GAIUS: Remember, you have to administer two drops every two hours to keep Gwen asleep.

[MERLIN GOES TO HIS ROOM TO GRAB HIS THINGS FOR THE TRIP AND COMES BACK DOWN AND TAKES THE POTION FROM GAIUS]

MERLIN: Do you really think we can succeed Gaius?

GAIUS: We must.

[GAIUS AND MERLIN LEAVE THE ROOM]

[NEW SCENE: ARTHUR, GAIUS AND GWEN ARE EATING IN THE ROYAL CHAMBERS. MERLIN POURS THE BELLADONA IN THE PITTURE AND ATTEMTS TO GIVE GWEN A DRINK.]

MERLIN: Wine, my Lady?

GWEN: Not tonight thanks Merlin.

[MERLIN FAILS TO POUR THE WINE IN GWENS GOBLET AND LOOKS AT ARTHUR AND GAIUS FOR HELP. ARTHUR RAISES HIS GLASS]

ARTHUR: A toast.

GWEN: My Lord?

ARTHUR: A toast to. . .a toast to the Queen.

GWEN: Me? What have I done?

GAIUS: Just being yourself, your Highness.

GWEN: Your very kind Gaius, but shouldn't it rather be. . .to Camolot?

[MERLIN POURS GWEN SOME WINE]

ARTHUR, MERLIN, GAIUS: To Camolot.

ARTHUR: Yes, to Camolot.

GWEN: To Camolot

[EVERYONE TAKES A DRINK FROM THEIR GOBLETS. GAIUS, ARTHUR AND MERLIN START STARING AT GWEN FOR THE POTION TO TAKE AFFECT.]

GWEN: You haven't eat'n my Lord.

ARTHUR: No. . .I hav-

[GWEN FAINTS AND MERLIN PUSHES A PLATE OF SOFT BREAD UNDER HER HEAD SO SHE DOES NOT HIT THE TABLE. THEY ALL SPRING INTO ACTION.]

ARTHUR: Are you sure this is safe Gaius?

GAIUS: I stuck my life on it Sire.

ARTHUR: Well, you have too.

[MERLIN WHEELS IN A SMALL WHEEL BARROW WITH A SMALL CUSION ON IT.]

ARTHUR: She's still a Queen.

MERLIN: The best I could do.

GAIUS: We have to hurry Sire.

[ARTHUR AND MERLIN START TO PLACE GWEN ON THE WHEEL BARROW.]

ARTHUR: Careful. ..

[ARTHUR EASES THE REST OF HER ON THE WHEEL BARROW. MERLIN PLACES A SHEET OVER HER BODY.]

MERLIN: There. No one will konw.

ARTHUR: Gaius, your sure this is going to work?

GAIUS: You'll be amazed at how much lisence old age will lend you Sire. Merlin come, we'll meet at the Darkling Woods.

[MERLIN STARTS TO STEER GWEN OUT OF THE ROOM]

ARTHUR: Merlin if you drop her. ..

MERLIN: I know I'll lose my head.

ARTHUR: Just so we're clear.

[MERLIN LEAVES THE ROOM WITH GWEN. ARTHUR CLOSES THE DOOR AND PREPARES FOR THE JOURNEY.]

[NEW SCENE: GAIUS AND MERLIN ARE TAKING GWEN TO THE DARKLING WOODS. THEY PASS TWO KNIGHTS.]

GAIUS: Keep up boy, keep up.

[THE KNIGHTS AND GAIUS LET MERLIN PASS AND GAIUS ADRESSES THE KNIGHTS]

GAIUS: Why I keep him is beyond me.

[THEY CONTINUE ON]

GAIUS: Are you alright?

MERLIN: S-she's a-lot heavier than she looks.

GAIUS: Well you might very well be ground for treason.

[GAIUS AND MERLIN BUMP INTO GWAINE AND MORDRED]

GWAINE: Ah, Gaius and Merlin. ..

MORDRED: And a barral of linen.

GAIUS: Sir Gawaine, Sir Mordred.

GWAINE: Planning on changing a bed?

MORDRED: Or perhaps to run up some clothes?

[MORDRED REACHES FOR THE SHEET COVERING GWEN AND MERLIN PULLS AWAY.]

GAIUS: Don't touch that. Not unless you want to risk an attack of Red Thrush Fever.

GWAINE: I have never heard of it?

GAIUS: Ah, then your fortunate indeed. More fortunate than the young man who just died in these very bed clothes. They have to be burned imediately. The last thing Camolot needs is an outbrake of Red Flush Fever. Is it not?

GWAINE (looking concerned): Yes, of course. Sorry.

[MORDRED AND GWAINE ALLOW MERLIN AND GAIUS TO PASS BY AND THEY ALL HEAD ON THEIR WAY. BUT THEN GWAINE STOPS THEM.]

GWAINE: Gaius?

GAIUS: Sire?

GWAINE: What is the name of the unfortunate young man? So that I may send somthing to his family.

GAIUS: Timethy

[GAIUS AND MERLIN CONTINUE ON THEIR WAY BUT NOT BEFORE MORDRED TURNS BACK AND SEES GWENS HAND FALL FROM UNDER THE SHEET.]

[NEW SCENE: ARTHUR IS WAITING IN THE FOREST FOR MERLIN AND GAIUS TO BRING GWEN. HE LOOKS OVER TO JUST SEE GAIUS WALKING TO HIM.]

ARTHUR: Where's Merlin?

GAIUS: Don't worry Sire, he comes.

[MERLIN COMES UP BEHIND GAIUS BRINGING GWEN.]

ARTHUR: What kept you?

MERLIN: Do you have any idea how steep slopes are?

[WHEN MERLIN GETS TO ARTHUR, ARTHUR TAKES OFF THE SHEET TO REVEAL GWEN]

ARTHUR: So inicent. So perfect.

GAIUS: She still is Sire, the only evil in her is Morganas. Come you must be on your way.

[ARTHUR TAKES GWEN IN HIS ARMS AND BRINGS HER TO THE HORSES AND MERLIN BRIEFLY HUGS GAIUS GOODBYE]

[NEW SCENE: ARTHUR AND GWEN ARE RIDING THREW THE FOREST TWARDS THE COULDREN OF ALYANDROD]

[NEW SCENE: THE DOCHRAIDS SACRED CAVE.]

DOCHRAID: Some ancient chant (I can not prenounce)

[NEW SCENE: ARTHUR AND MERLIN HAVE REACHED THE MOUNTAINS AND HAVE STOPPED TO PLAN THIER NEXT MOVE]

MERLIN: The sorceress lives at the western most peak.

ARTHUR: That would be the highest? It always is, isn't it?. . .well lets get started.

[MERLIN LOOKS BEHIND THEM AND STOPS ARTHUR BECAUSE HE SENSES SOMEONE WATCHING THEM.]

MERLIN: Wait. . .we are being watched.

ARTHUR: One of your funny feelings again? Lets go ride then.

[ARTHUR AND MERLIN START TO CONTINUE THROUGH THE MOUNTIAN PASS.]

ARTHUR: Tether the horses here, we'll be quicker on foot.

[ARTHUR AND MERLIN STOP TO TIE THE HORSES AND CONTINUE ON FOOT.]

MERLIN: What about the supplies?

ARTHUR: We'll manage.

MERLIN: We can't take it all.

ARTHUR: I'll be carrying Guinevere.

MERLIN: She's half the weight of that lot.

ARTHUR: Are you suggesting that I risk the safety of the Queen and carry even more?

MERLIN: I could take her an-

ARTHUR: She's my wife.

MERLIN: I'll be careful.

ARTHUR: And your the servant.

[NEW SCENE: THE DOCHRAID CHANTS THE OLD RELIGION AND USES A CROW TO SEND A MESSAGE TO MORGANA]

[NEW SCENE: ARTHUR AND MERLIN ARE WALKING WITH GWEN ALONG THE EDGE OF THE CLIFF OF THE MOUNTIAN.]

ARTHUR: These funny feelings of yours. ..

MERLIN: They are not funny

ARTHUR: Stupid then, where do they come from you think?. . .Are you still there Merlin? Have you gone into a sulk?

MERLIN: I'm not sulking. I'm carrying the load that a horse has to trug along.

ARTHUR: Very good.

MERLIN: I think it would do you good

ARTHUR: I'm already good.

MERLIN: Well maybe I-

[MERLIN FALLS DOWN THE CLIFF WITHOUT ARTHUR NOTICING]

ARTHUR: Merlin?

[ARTHUR TURNS AROUND AND MERLIN IS GONE]

ARTHUR: Merlin?

[ARTHUR SETS GWEN DOWN ON THE GROUND AND LOOKS OVER THE CLIFF TO FIND MERLIN UNCONCIOUS]

ARTHUR: Merlin?!!

[ARTHUR STARTS TO CLIMB DOWN THE CLIFF TO MERLIN BUT SLIPS AND FALLS WITH SOME ROCKS.]

[NEW SCENE: MORGANA RECIEVES THE NOTE FROM THR DOCHRAID. SHE WALKS TO WHERE ATHUSA IS HIDING AND READS THE NOTE.]

DOCHRAID'S VOICE: Emris is working to foil your plans. He means to cleanse Guinevere at the couldren of Alyandrod.

MORGANA: No!

ATHUSA: Rouar. Rouar. Growl, Growl.

MORGANA: You must help me Athusa, this can not be.

[NEW SCENE: ARTHUR AND MERLIN ARE UNCONCIOUS AT THE BOTTOM OF THE CLIFF. ARTHUR WAKES UP TO FIND HIS HAND IN BETWEEN TWO BOULDERS. HE TRIES TO KICK MERLIN AWAKE, BUT CAN'T REACH HIM]

ARTHUR: Merlin!. . .Merlin!

[ARTHUR TRIES TO FREE HIS HAND BUT ITS STUCK. HE PREPARES TO CUT HIS ARM OFF WHEN. . .]

MORDRED: ARTHUR!!!

[HE LOOKS UP TO SEE MORDRED AT THE TOP OF THE CLIFF WITH A ROPE IN HAND. A BIG FLOOD OF RELIEF FLOODS THROUGH HIM.]

ARTHUR: Check on Guinevere.

MORDRED: I already have Sire. She sleeps soundly.

[NEW SCENE: ARTHUR, MERLIN AND MORDRED AROUND A CAMPFIRE IN THE MOUNTIAN PASS. GWEN SLEEPING SOUNDLY NEXT TO THEM.]

MORDRED: It does not seem possible. The Queen has the sweetest of natures.

ARTHUR: It was never her. Just Morgana. I'm sorry I didn't confide in you.

MORDRED: I suppose you didn't. If I hadn't had my suspicions I wouldn't have followed you. Merlin acting strangely.

ARTHUR: Is that so unusual?

MORDRED: And the levey route had been changed.

ARTHUR: You had a funny feeling.

MORDRED: My Lord?

ARTHUR: I'm glad that you did Mordred. Without you I fear I would have lost my arm at the very least.

MERLIN: I would've woken.

ARTHUR: Merlin, If I had to relay on your time keeping I would have lost both my arms and legs to boot. It's good to have you with us. Three is always better than two. Isn't that right Merlin?

MERLIN: Of course. . .It's time.

ARTHUR: I'll do it.

MERLIN: Two drops only.

[ARTHUR GOES TO GIVE GWEN THE BELLADONA LEAVING MERLIN AND MORDRED ALONE. MORDRED GOES AND SITS NEXT TO MERLIN.]

MORDRED: You don't trust me, do you Merlin?

MERLIN: I believe you to be a. . .fine knight.

MORDRED: But not one to be trusted? It's alright, I know you have the king's best interest at heart. I only wish to believe that I do too. One day, I shall prove my loyalty to you and to the King. Then I hope we may be friends.

MERLIN: I could wish for nothing more.

[NEW SCENE: MORDRED, MERLIN AND ARTHUR (WHILE CARRYING GWEN) CONTINUE THROUGH THE MOUNTIAN PASS LOOKING FOR THE COULDREN. THEY PASS BY A BUNCH OF BANNERS.]

MORDRED: What's the meaning of these banners?

MERLIN: Mostly for pilgrams. It's a sacred sign for those who follow the old religin.

ARTHUR: How do you know such things?

MERLIN: Gaius told me.

[MORGANA IS WATCHING FROM A DISTANCE.]

ARTHUR: How much furthur?

MERLIN: Not far. This gorge leads to the couldren.

ATHUSA: Keeeah (dragon type of scream)

[ATHUSA FLIES TWARDS THEM AND BLOWS FIRE TWARDS THEM. ARTHUR SWINGS GWEN FROM HARMS WAY AND LEADS THE OTHERS BETWEEN SOME BOULDERS.]

ARTHUR: Here.

[BEFORE HIDING MERLIN LOOKS AROUND FOR SIGNS OF MORGANA. HE THEN JOINS ARTHUR AND MORDRED BEHIND THE BOULDER.]

ARTHUR: Morgana must be close.

MERLIN: You go I will distract them.

ARTHUR: No.

MERLIN: You must.

ARTHUR: But you are the only one who knows where the sorceror is.

MERLIN: Arthur!!

[ATHUSA SWOOPS BY THE BOULDER.]

MORDRED: Get Gwen to saftey Sire, we'll cover you and join you on the gorge.

ARTHUR: Very well.

[ARTHUR LEAVES MERLIN AND MORDRED AND TAKES GWEN TO SAFTEY]

MERLIN: Stay here. I will deal with the creature.

MORDRED: Merlin you can't.

MERLIN: I know what Im doing Mordred.

[MERLIN RUNS OUT INTO THE OPEN WITH ATHUSA SWOOPING AROUND. ATHUSA STARTS TO ATTACK MERLIN BUT HE TELLS HER (IN DRAGON TOUNGE) TO LEAVE AND STOP HER ATTACK. SHE OBEYS AND MERLIN GOES BACK TO MORDRED. HE STARTS TO GRAB THE SUPPLIES.]

MORDRED: What happened? Merlin?

MERLIN: Gone dragon. We need to move.

[THEY START RUNNING TO WHERE ARTHUR IS BUT MORGANA IS BEHIND THEM AND INTERCEPTS THEM. SHE FLINGS THEM THROUGH THE AIR AND KNOCKS OUT MORDRED. MERLIN STILL CONCIOUS GETS UP AND FLEES TO ARTHUR.]

ARTHUR: Merlin? Where's Mordred?

[MERLIN JUST SHAKES HIS HEAD. ARTHUR GETS UP AND TRIES TO GET PAST MERLIN TO HELP MORDRED BUT MERLIN STOPS HIM.]

MERLIN: No, Arthur.

ARTHUR: I won't leave a knight behind.

MERLIN: I saw Morgana. Mordred gave us a chance, we can't throw it away.
