Previously on Camelot
My father, he sent me
to tell you that men are
attacking Bardon Pass.
We lose that, word will spread
of our weakness,
and all our land could
come under threat.
If this is done well,
the only safe place
in the kingdom will
be under my protection.
The crown will fall to me.
Did something happen
between you and the king?
I did a terrible thing,
but I'm still your wife!
You're not my wife;
you're the king's ***.
Cover this up,
or risk losing everything.
What did you do?!
It was the morning
of my wedding.
He had her first.
And then he married us.
- What about Morgan?
- We go to Castle Pendragon--
bring her back before the king
to answer for her treason.
While the entire country
bleeds, you storm in here
with your insane charges.
I will expose the corruption
of this sorcerer.
Let all who seek a safe harbour
find one with me.
Take Kay; take the family.
I'll create a diversion
from the front. Go.
I'll be right behind you.
King Arthur dies at our hands.
Here. Tonight.
♪
Original Air Date on June 10, 2011
Tonight, you fight for the cause
of Morgan Pendragon.
The man who wears her crown
stands in that building.
The sun must rise
on his shredded, burning corpse.
Now, which one of you believes
he can take the sword
from the king's dead hands,
and bring it to me?
- Aye.
- More men are on their way,
but we have the cover of night,
and we'll send an advance scout
to find out
how many are left in there.
Arthur said
he would meet us here.
We should shelter here
for now;
see to the wounded.
We'll wait here for Arthur.
Ah!
You were lucky.
Don't feel it.
Any sign of him?
No.
He said he'd be
right behind us.
He stayed behind
to prove himself to us.
To me.
I should have known.
Stubborn ***.
How many is he up against?
It's been too long.
Your turn.
Hurry.
Ah!
Ah!
Spread out.
Ah!
We've got him!
Take the sword.
As fast as you can.
I'll finish off the boy.
Ah! Oh!
Ahhhh!
Don't call me boy.
Harwell!
Where's Wallace?
Finishing off the king.
He told me to bring you this.
They have Arthur surrounded.
He's alone in there.
Take it straight to Morgan,
with my compliments.
Ride fast.
I'll follow you.
After I've put a burning torch
to the king's body.
Where is the king? Is he here?
I need to see my brother!
King Arthur is out at Bardon Pass,
repelling an attack.
- Lady Igraine this way!
- Untie the king's mother!
Release them!
Before you do anything,
listen.
The realm is under threat.
The sorcerer
and the king's mother ransacked
our castle,
threatened Morgan's life!
These people have come
from all over the realm.
They've been attacked.
They need
their king's protection.
I know many of Camelot's men are
out in the realm fighting
these insurgencies.
My guards can help you.
You are good men
of strong judgment.
Use it now.
Restrain the sorcerer,
and give us protection until
the king, my brother, returns.
It's amazing how
children can sleep anywhere.
Sorry.
It's innocence.
They don't know
what's to come.
Guinevere,
how is she?
That's all right
for a sword wound,
but an arrow wound will
never heal.
Hold this.
Of course.
Ready?
Here.
It's done.
Seal the gates!
We must protect Camelot
from any attack.
Go inside. Find yourselves
shelter and food.
When the king returns,
we shall all address him.
Thank you, milady.
Escort Lady Igraine
to her room.
Make sure she's comfortable
and that she remains there.
I see what you are doing,
and you shall not prevail.
I'll visit you shortly,
my lady.
Did you enjoy our night
together?
Did you really think
I was her?
Was I that good?
Because you were
fascinating.
Does she know?
Have you told her
what we did?
How you gave yourself?
Do what you want with me
but leave Igraine alone.
It burns, doesn't it?
That sense
of impotence.
Watching what you've worked for
snatched from you.
Keep a watch on him.
He's capable of anything.
Who sent you?!
Wha-wha-what
does it matter?
Oh, it matters.
Who do you fight for?!
Who sent you?
Who?
Last chance.
Morgan Pendragon.
You're lying.
Attack Bardon Pass.
Draw out the king.
Kill him when he shows up
to defend it.
Those were
your sister's orders.
You're a ***-up family,
all right.
The banner flies,
and Wallace hasn't returned.
Arthur must
still be alive.
How is that possible?!
Let me go down, take 2 men.
No! No, wait
for reinforcements.
I have enough men coming
to overwhelm whatever tricks
he has lined up in there.
You will be safe
here in Camelot.
Let Camelot be your refuge.
God will provide.
Milady, where is the king?
Why isn't he here?
You know where he is.
Protecting the border
of his realm.
People are saying
that he has run off
with his champion's wife.
Don't speak about my brother
in that way.
No woman would distract him
from his duties.
Guinevere must be here.
Let us find her
and prove the truth to you.
No one's to go near him.
He's a prisoner,
not an animal.
Have you seen
Igraine?
I don't know.
Morgan has her guards
all along the corridor.
I can't go anywhere.
Why don't you break free?
And do what? Hmm?
The mad sorcerer
against the people?
They'll never trust me
again.
We need Arthur back.
What if he doesn't come?
He will.
We have to believe
he will.
I said I didn't want
to be disturbed.
I think you'll want
to see this, child.
The king's sword.
A gift from Harwell.
It's done?
It is.
It's a tragedy.
- It's what you ordered.
- Leave her--
to grieve her brother.
This is our time.
This is our final assault.
Find Arthur.
You bring him to me.
We ready?
- Aye! Yeah!
- Then we attack!
Ah!
Over there!
Ugh!
Ooh!
You came back.
I took an oath.
Down!
Ah!
Leontes!
If I'm going down,
I'm taking as many
of them with me as I can.
Amen to that.
For Camelot.
For Camelot.
Run!
Run!
Ah! Oof!
Retreat!
Stupid ***!
Arthur!!
NO!
Leontes!
Leontes!
Promise me
a warrior's funeral.
I'm sorry.
It's all right.
I get to meet my God.
Treasure her.
I know
you'd hate to miss this.
Our very own Prometheus
brought low by his love of men.
This is
the king's sword.
Just brought to me
with news
of his death.
My heart breaks
for my brother.
What now?
Who protects us?
Who will take the crown?
I cannot decide that.
- It should be you.
- Yes.
Your belief touches me,
but I
There is
no one else.
You owe it to your father
and your brother
not to leave these people
unprotected.
She's right.
Morgan, you have an obligation
to everyone here,
to everyone
in the land.
Out of this darkness,
the realm must know
its first queen.
Yes.
- Answer us, please.
- Is it truly your will?
Yes.
Then
I accept,
in my brother's memory,
to carry on
the Pendragon line.
Hmm.
I picked that out
for you.
You were looking
a bit dishevelled.
You must look
your best.
You will never
be queen.
You can give birth
to a king,
or you marry one,
but you won't ever
get that crown.
Why did you take
my face?
I asked myself
that same question.
It wasn't my choice,
but now I understand why.
You're the birth
of all this.
You poor child.
What happened to you
these years?
What happened
is that you turned my father
against me.
Until you came,
he loved me without question.
And then you,
and your *** child.
You never understood.
It doesn't matter now.
You look beautiful,
my lady.
What do you want
from me?
A slow death.
It's all right.
It's fatal.
But it will take some time
for you to bleed out.
Shh.
Queen Igraine.
Look at you now--
that face
my father loved enough
to banish me.
He didn't banish you!
He was going
to have you killed
like your mother.
I sent you away
to keep you safe!
- You're lying!
- Ah! Ah!
I saved you!
I don't believe you.
I took pity on you!
You will never be queen!
They're coming.
It's Arthur!
Ready?
Is this it?
Have I done it?
Yes, my child.
This was everything.
I know.
Now take your throne,
my queen.
Will you swear
to rule this realm
according to the laws
and customs of its people,
and to administer justice
with mercy?
I will.
Will you uphold too
the laws of God
and the true teachings
of his gospel?
I will.
With this crown,
I anoint you, Morgan,
First Queen
of the Britons.
It's the king!
My brother!
You live!
I know
your true face, sister.
One rumour of my death,
and you proclaim
a new leader!
A king could get offended.
Where's Igraine?
Have you seen Igraine?
No.
Which is hard,
because I remember
standing here at my coronation
and seeing hope
in all your eyes.
I've learned so much
since then.
And I have made mistakes.
But I live for one thing now.
Your hope.
And how to deliver on it.
We were attacked!
Where were you?
You went away.
Where were you?
Where was I, Morgan?
If she takes the crown,
I'll tell you
what you get.
Fear!
That's what she instils
in everyone.
Fear is so much stronger
than hope.
But it will never win.
I'll take my sword and my crown.
It's not that easy.
You've lost the will
of the people.
That belongs to the king.
Out of my way!
Tell them what she did.
Morgan plotted
against the king.
We were to attack Bardon Pass
last night.
We were sent with orders:
kill the king.
He's a liar.
Talking to save his life!
My champion, Leontes,
died at the hands of your men.
You accept the words of liars
who'd wish to disrupt our unity!
Why would you profess
your loyalty to me
in public, while sending men
to kill me in private?
You understand
the punishment for treason.
Have you anything else
to say?
It wasn't her!
It was me.
I planned it all.
I told Morgan
none of this.
She may be queen by rights,
but our laws are made
by feeble men.
I confess to my treason.
Do whatever you want with me.
Morgan knew none of it.
Hold her.
You understand the punishment
for treason and *** is
execution.
Was this all
her own doing?
I would never plot
against you, my brother.
You have blood
on your hands.
Igraine.
You came.
What happened?
Who did this?
I'm dying,
aren't I?
No, no.
I won't let you.
I won't let you.
You hear me?
What are you doing?!
I won't let you.
I won't let you.
I will not lose
anyone else.
Stop!
Stop!
No, no!
Not by killing yourself!
I can save you.
Protect
Arthur.
Please.
Shh
I'm sorry.
It's not your fault.
I swear
I will be everything
you ever hoped I'd be.
I will be better.
And I will make you proud.
I will build it all here
for you.
For all my family.
Goodbye
Mother.
Is this where I am to sleep
for eternity?
What did you expect?
Pomp and glory?
Kneel.
What?
I thought
that she would come.
Kneel.
There is no God.
I know
you killed my mother.
Your nun confessed to it,
but she had no motive.
She stood before
the executioner's sword
as if she were
your champion.
My protection
of your castle is at an end.
And this--
this belongs
to your king!
As does the name Pendragon,
which I also strip from you.
You no longer have the right
to call yourself that.
And I no longer have
a sister.
That name is
my birthright.
You have no rights
in this kingdom anymore.
You will not
take my name!
You hear me?!
ARTHUR!
I AM PENDRAGON!
YOU ARE NOTHING!
YOU WILL ALWAYS BE NOTHING
BUT MY FATHER'S ***!
I never said goodbye.
I never had the chance
to say how much he meant to me.
He drew his last breath
thinking of you.
Those we hold
in our hearts
we never say goodbye to.
This seat belongs
to Leontes.
It remains empty
until a champion as true and
a man as honourable joins us.
It'll remain cold
for all time.
- Hear, hear.
- Hear, hear.
For Leontes.
For Leontes!
I never thanked you.
After all this,
you want to thank me?
You gave me parents
and a brother,
all of whom loved me
despite myself.
I'm more than
I could ever have been,
and I'm only just beginning.
Arthur I'm leaving.
You can't.
I have to.
No. This began with you.
You stay and you see it through.
- It's cost me too much.
- It's cost all of us!
That's why we can't stop!
Let me go, Arthur.
If it was the other way
around, you wouldn't let me go.
Maybe you're stronger
than me.
And maybe that's
what I didn't know.
Will you come back?
You
will be great.
I'm sorry.
What do I do now?
Help me.
To be queen
you must give birth
to a king.
I know it's wrong
but I don't think
I can be alone tonight.
Guinevere
Just tonight.
He told me
to treasure you.
Then do.
