The Kid Who Would Be King Edit

A boy named Arthur,

A boy.

A child too.

A child, a child.

A demon to slay, a country to save.

A disaster. I thought it was four years.

A few days ago, I found a sword in a stone.

A fortress, a castle.

A grown warrior cannot block

A land is only as good as it's leaders

A land is only as good as its leaders.

A leader, not a follower.

A long time ago, Britain was ruled

A pleasure to make your acquaintance.

A reward for once you've vanquished your foes.

A simple duplication spell

A sorceress called Morgana

A true King is brave and noble

A YouTube thing. A social experiment.

About the Knights of the Round Table.

Abracadabra!

Activa.

After all these years, this is your plan?

Ah!

Ah!

Ah...

Alakazam!

Alex Elliot!

Alex, are you okay?

Alex, don't die.

Alex, I know you're having a tough time.

Alex, is your light still on?

Alex, it's a dangerous weapon, and it doesn't belong to you.

Alex, look at you.

Alex, look!

Alex, look.

Alex, the sword.

Alex, we can't hold her for much longer!

Alex, what are you doing?

Alex, what happened?

Alex, what if this is a message?

Alex, you saved my life,

Alex, you're going to be late

Alex, you're gonna be late.

Alex!

Alex!

Alex!

Alex!

Alex!

Alex! Alex, we're up here!

Alex! Run! Alex!

Alex.

Alex.

Alex.

Alex...

Alexander Elliot, don't you dare leave this house.

Alexander Elliot!

Alexander Elliot!

Alexander, hand me the sword.

Alexander, I borrowed this book of yours,

All battalions, stand by.

All clear. Do it, Bedders. Go.

All hail the once and future king.

All leathery and on fire,

All right, then we have to call her.

All right. Don't look at me.

All the Paleolithic standing stones in the country.

All the time I was telling you to obey the Code,

All you ever cared about is yourself.

All you have to do is kneel and let Alex knight you.

All you have to do is pull it out of that stone.

Altogether... mm...

An army of children.

An ingenious alias, don't you think?

An ingenious disguise, don't you think?

An island off the coast of Cornwall.

And a boy from school came and he saved me.

And a cheat and a liar.

And a foolish child in every old soul.

And a mere, invigorating

And after school,

And are called precious metals.

And bound her into the bowels of the earth.

And declared that only Uther's true heir

And destroy Morgana.

And doing the right thing never makes anything worse.

And every mortal soul disappears,

And everything will go back to normal!

And excellent thing that's ever happened to me.

And finally, rule four.

And five!

And for centuries,

And formed a band of loyal knights.

And formulated an excellent plan.

And fought bitterly and endlessly.

And four!

And ground animal bone.

And he didn't want to know me.

And he knew about the sword.

And he knew.

And he's not a hero.

And how much money you've got.

And I am a perfectly normal

And I have to take the sword.

And I know you miss your dad.

And I was wide awake the whole time, I promise.

And I'll wait for you at lunch break

And I'm supposed to stop her, that's ridiculous

And I'm supposed to stop her?

And if this is our destiny...

And if you don't believe me,

And it's getting tougher all the time.

And it's making everything go... weird.

And just because the Romans knocked half of it down,

And look...

And Morgana will return.

And most terrible and brilliant and frightening

And not the kind of person who carries...

And now I can do it.

And now I know what she meant.

And now I owe you my undying loyalty.

And one!

And only a knight of pure heart can slay Morgana.

And open your hand.

And out of all the people in the entire world,

And remember the Code.

And role playing games, and Game of Thrones.

And ruled at a round table, so that all were equal.

And she has awoken.

And skip breakfast, it's like...

And slowly move your moons across, between the two.

And so will the sword.

And something came and tried to take it back.

And start punching them?

And that is why the sword has returned.

And that moment has come.

And that's exactly what King Arthur did.

And the boy himself, he clings to myth.

And the eclipse is in six hours.

And the land is lost and leaderless again,

And the land on which you live,

And the world is not going to change.

And then he turned into an owl.

And then I'm taking you to school.

And then something amazing happens.

And there's only one more night until the eclipse.

And these nuggets are largely gristle

And they find out they're descended from powerful,

And they find out they’re descended from magical families

And they hated us. We were sworn enemies.

And think about it.

And this boy among you drew Excalibur.

And this has to stop.

And this is yours.

And this time...

And this whole King Arthur thing.

And those who have been knighted.

And three!

And Tintagel's not a person, it's a place...

And together,

And two!

And we haven't even

And what I'm saying is always right.

And what on earth are you children doing,

And you can't keep it.

And you have found it.

And you haven't seen him for years.

And you will make excellent leaders.

And you're not leaving until you explain

And your quest is lost before it has even begun.

And, by the way,

And, even with the sword, who's ever gonna listen to us?

And... good luck.

Appearing in the mortal realm after dark

Appearing in the mortal realm after sundown

Are doomed.

Are my loyal and brave and worthy knights,

Are there no unglazed windows

Are you kids okay?

Aren't you going home?

Arthur fought a fearsome battle against her,

Arthur grew into a great king.

Arthur's knights gathered at a round table

Arturi...

As equals.

As far away as possible.

As I tried to explain last night,

As they grow weaker...

As yours against Morgana and the Mortes Milles.

At an alarming rate.

At night the penumbra between light and dark weakens.

At the amusement arcade.

At the top of the high street, then meet us

At the very least I bet he's into magic,

Awake, my warriors, cease your slumber.

Awake, my warriors, cease your slumber.

Awake, my warriors, cease your slumber.

Awake, my warriors, cease your slumber.

BBC News at 7:30.

Be brave and resolute.

Be brave, chivalrous...

Because he loved you.

Because he wanted you to grow up to be a good person.

Because it knows that if we fight together,

Because it would just make everything worse.

Because there's two of you,

Because you always ruin everything.

Because you're a liar and a cheat and a bully.

Because you're the strongest people I know.

Bedders has fallen off!

Bedders, I'm coming for you!

Bedders, tell your dad we've got homework together.

Bedders, wait!

Bedders, watch out!

Bedders, you come with me.

Bedders, you made it.

Bedders, you're a genius.

Bedders!

Bedders!

Bedders! Now!

Bedders! Where are you?

Beetle blood, ground bone and beaver urine.

Before the moon masks the sun,

Behold, Excalibur.

Beholden to the boy.

Believed that you could change base metals

Block the branches.

Bloody hell.

Bounce up and down in the saddle.

Boy.

Bravely.

Bravo, Alexander.

Break any of these rules

Break is over. Quickly and quietly fall in line.

Break it up! Break it up!

Built as a magical conveyance system,

But believe me, none were fought as bravely

But Britain's still the same place it was before.

But by heart and mind.

But even if you do not wield Excalibur,

But first, we have to promise

But he gave you that book

But he looks cool.

But he loved you.

But he said we're in mortal danger.

But I do now.

But I meant real demons.

But I'm no good at duplication illusions.

But if all four of us and these ponies disappear,

But if he was, I know exactly what he'd say.

But it escaped.

But it shouldn't be like that. That's why the sword came.

But it's true, and I can prove it.

But Lip Smackin' Chicken had it all.

But not before she swore dark vengeance.

But now we know that's how evil tricks you.

But only one succeeded.

But Rokas saw it with his own eyes.

But that which you already have.

But the five of us won't stand a chance on our own.

But their greatest foe

But we're not knights.

But we're right back where we started.

But when Uther died without an heir,

But why wouldn't we be?

But why? After all this time.

But you are light and agile.

But you don't need to anymore.

But, Alex...

But, Merlin,

But...

But... I refrained from wanton offense.

But... which door?

By an ancient, undead evil, Miss.

By King Uther Pendragon.

By which all noble knights live.

Callow.

Callow.

Came up with it on the spur of the moment

Careful not to drown in that puddle.

Cast a spell? Summon a dragon?

Charge!

Charge!

Choke her. Stop her breathing fire!

Christmas Day, that was exhausting.

Clear some space, quick as you can. Thank you.

Come across the garden walls. You've gotta see what I found.

Come on then!

Come on, Alex. It's time to join the land of the living.

Come on, Bedders!

Come on, Bedders.

Come on, Bedders. It's this way.

Come on, Lance!

Come on, my little pony. Go faster!

Come on, no doodling.

Come on, then, Simba. Let's see you pull it out.

Come on, then! Come and get it.

Come on, then. Get on with it.

Come on!

Come on!

Come on!

Come on.

Come on. First car on the left.

Come! I've taken temporary lodging above.

Concentrate.

Congratulations, we did it. You did it.

Conjured a magical sword in a stone called Excalibur

Contain a wealth of history.

Contemporary British schoolboy.

Convinced she was the rightful heir,

Could pull it free.

Create a vortex.

Crumble.

Dad would understand.

Damn

Damn!

Damn.

Danielle said they tried to catch it for two hours,

Defeat Morgana in her own realm

Deluded.

Designed by yours truly.

Did you get separated or something?

Did you get that out of the attic?

Directly affects the rest of your life.

Do it like show jumpers on TV.

Do it. Then we get to play.

Do they teach you nothing in that so called school?

Do us a favor, Mertin.

Do you by any chance have any beetle blood,

Do you promise?

Do you take 50p pieces?

Do you think these little rats are worthy of this land?

Does not mean it's broken.

Does your mum even know you're here?

Don't be a hero. It's not worth it.

Don't let go!

Don't talk to us. We're only here for the fights.

Don't tell me you've never heard of the Chivalric Code.

Don't worry about it, Bedders.

Don't worry.

Don't you realize,

Drains my life force extremely fast,

Dressed like that?

Driver! Stop this coach at once!

Drop the horses! One!

Easy, again.

Easy.

Easy.

Emerged with two new allies,

Even though there's already a royal family,

Every time I need to drive a point home,

Everyone who does gets a sword and armor.

Everyone, gather round.

Everyone's car keys, could I?

Everything I said about the sword is true.

Evidence of past civilizations.

Exactly what just happened.

Excalibur.

Excalibur.

Excuse me, but why are we getting off the coach?

Excuse me, ladies and gentlemen,

Excuse me, ladies.

Excuse me, Pam, forgive us if we're speaking out of turn.

Excuse me, please. Sorry, this is an emergency.

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

Experts are warning that

Eyes and ears.

Fallen warriors from battles of old.

Faster, Alex! Faster.

Faster! Go, go!

Faster! Out of the way!

Filius Tintageli."

Finally.

Find me here tomorrow.

Find the horses and tie them up

Find the new king.

Find the new king.

Find the new king.

Find the one who drew it.

Find your long lost dad, kill some demon sorceress,

First. You want me not to smash your faces in?

Flaming swords, fire breathing horses.

Follow me. Quickly. No slacking.

For intensive revision.

For metallic objects should suffice.

For now, they can only enter this realm after dark.

For tomorrow, the moon masks the sun and all is lost.

Fought so bravely.

Four doorways.

Four!

From now on,

From now on, we stick together.

From the land across the roadway.

From the moment the sword was drawn,

Gaining power in more countries

Gather your allies!

Get back!

Get him a jacket!

Get in line. Break is over.

Get in!

Get off me!

Get off. Follow me.

Get out of my way! I need air, space to think!

Get the last one,

Giant, medieval weapons around.

Give him back the sword.

Give me my book.

Give me the sword.

Give me time to open a portal.

Give us a quick go with that. We'll give it back, I promise.

Glastonbury Tor.

Global divisions are increasing

Go away.

Go get her!

Go get him. We'll distract them.

Go to Cornwall with this freak new boy,

Go, go, gallop!

Go, go, go!

Go, go!

Go, go! Run, get him!

Go!

Go! Go!

Go. Go.

God's socks. This is a catastrophe.

Good luck with what?

Good luck, Alex.

Good night, Bedders.

Good night, Sir Beddersvere.

Good night, Your Highness ness.

Good people,

Good work! Go!

Good.

Gotcha!

Grab the rope! Back me up!

Greedy.

Greedy. Greedy.

Greetings, young academicians. My name is...

Ground animal bone, or beaver urine?

Ground animal bone. Something to revive him.

Guess that's a "yes," then.

Guys, I think we're gonna have to learn how to ride.

Halt!

Hardly older than the chosen king.

Has anyone seen Bedders?

Has been sleeping under our soil for centuries,

Has returned. Returned. The sword.

Hate.

Have I grown so old...

Have I waited so long?

Have you seen the world outside your window?

Having fun with our imaginations?

He and his knights lived by a code of chivalry,

He could be the Lion King.

He destroyed our sentinel

He did not turn into an owl, Bedders.

He didn't care about me.

He didn't even give me the book.

He didn't even sign it.

He drank.

He even signed it.

He got one!

He had his battles. His demons.

He had other things going on in his life.

He knew.

He lived here for a while, years back.

He made his enemies his allies.

He plans to take the sword for himself.

He said the penumbra between light and dark weakens.

He said...

He turned his enemies into allies

He united the warring tribes of Britain

He was a child, my Lady.

He was angry at everything and everyone.

He wasn't a good man, Alex.

He'd say that telling the truth

He'll know how to defeat Morgana.

He'll know where the entrance to the Underworld is.

He's half your size, and he's my friend.

He's not here.

He's right.

He's too small to be King Kong.

Hector.

Hello, boys.

Hello, Merlin.

Hello? Is anybody here?

Hello.

Help me!

Help me!

Help me! I can't breathe! Help!

Help me.

Help us!

Help us! I can't breathe!

Help!

Help!

Help!

Help!

Help!

Help! Help us!

Help! Quickly!

Help! Something's got me.

Help! They're right behind me!

Her fury and resolve are doubled

Here

Here we go again.

Here.

Heroes! Heroes all!

Hey, Alex.

Hey, can anybody drive?

Hey, come and get it!

Hey, Lance! I've got him.

Hey, leave him alone

Hey, wait! Security! Security!

Hey!

Hey!

Hey!

Hey!

Hey!

Hey.

Hey.

Hey.

His quest will be his doom.

Historians have puzzled over the purpose of Stonehenge.

Hold on!

Hold out your hand.

Hold out your hand.

Honestly, boy,

How could he know about the sword?

How could telling the truth make everything worse?

How could you do this?

How deluded they are.

How do we find the entrance to the Underworld?

How humiliating.

How many times do I have to tell you?

How you live.

Hundreds of them.

Hurry! Come on!

I am going to pass out.

I am Merlin

I am the last living Pendragon.

I beg your pardon?

I believe you can be trusted with it.

I can do real magic.

I can prove it.

I can't breathe!

I can't do this!

I can't face her, Bedders.

I completely forgot to include clothing

I did it! I did it!

I did it. I couldn't sleep, so I practiced and practiced,

I didn't know what she meant...

I do magic tricks for a hobby,

I don't care.

I don't even know where he is anymore.

I don't huddle.

I don't know what I'm doing.

I don't know. It's a coincidence.

I don't suppose I could possibly borrow

I don't understand.

I feel sick, Alex.

I feel weird.

I gave you the power of metal duplication.

I got one!

I hate her!

I have seen them in their heated hovels,

I have to go to school.

I have to go, and I'm taking it with me.

I have to show you something.

I have to talk to him. It's important.

I just had all of these made up.

I knight thee, Lady Kaye.

I knight thee, Sir Hector.

I knight thee, Sir Lance.

I knight thee...

I know Dad didn't care about neither of us.

I know who he really was.

I know why both of you are.

I know why you're a bully

I know you lied to me about the book.

I know, I know, I know it sounds ridiculous,

I know.

I know. I know where it is.

I know. She called.

I know...

I learnt a new trick.

I met my Aunt Sophie.

I persevered...

I promise I'll never use it for anything but good.

I promise we'll get them back to you.

I promise, too.

I promise.

I pulled it out of a stone

I said, leave him alone.

I said, leave him alone.

I spoke the truth at all times.

I swear.

I swear.

I think that's yours.

I think we did it.

I though Merlin was supposed to be an old man?

I thought I'd have trouble finding the ingredients,

I thought Merlin was supposed to be an old man.

I thought something magic was gonna happen.

I thought that if you knew the truth,

I thought we were taking an hour out to watch the eclipse.

I thought we weren't supposed to swear.

I told you, on a building site.

I tried to stop them.

I trust that is not a problem.

I used to know it off by heart.

I wanna be a king.

I was going to take it away, but now,

I went there once when I was five.

I will prey on their weaknesses.

I will return.

I wish I'd never asked you to join in.

I won't, I promise.

I wonder if you can help me.

I... I just... I wanted you to believe he was good.

I'd broken it myself.

I'll be dead before the day is done.

I'll be most impressed if you succeed.

I'll do my best.

I'll fetch some food.

I'll give you one last chance,

I'll hold them off.

I'll pull it out and you can hold it

I'm coming as fast as I can.

I'm going over the walls. Then through the back window.

I'm gonna fall off!

I'm looking for my father.

I'm not even old enough to do a paper round.

I'm not in the mood for magic anymore.

I'm not used to it actually happening.

I'm not vanquishing anything.

I'm nothing.

I'm putting it back.

I'm relying on you three to set a good example.

I'm so sorry, Alex.

I'm Sophie.

I'm sorry he broke the sword.

I'm sorry I lied, I just...

I'm sorry I was angry with you.

I'm sorry we picked on you.

I'm sorry.

I'm the king around here.

I'm the king around here.

I'm the once and future king.

I'm the only one who can pull the sword from the stone.

I'm your aunt. I'm your dad's sister.

I've been watching you.

I've failed you.

I've got an idea.

I've got it.

I've never been outside school on a weekday

I've never driven backwards before!

I've nothing left.

I've seen many great battles in my time.

I've seen your world.

I've seen your world.

Ice cream, cherryade and chicken nuggets...

If I could get a signal, I'd be in an Uber, right now.

If I could have your attention for a moment...

If I have to transform into my adult self

If I'm the once and future king...

If Lance and Kaye and Bedders

If my quest is noble and true,

If you both kneel and let me knight you.

If you don't know the Code, then this entire enterprise

If you'd helped me, we could've fought them off.

If you're the once and future king,

If your legends say different, then perhaps...

In a great and terrible multitude.

In four days the dark sorceress Morgana will take over the world

In four moons there will be darkness in daylight,

In my Vivifica Transubtantiatio.

In order to monitor you incognito.

In term time before.

In that case, I require your smock.

In the heat of battle we had each other's backs.

In the whole of Britain?

In two hours, there will be an eclipse.

Indeed, we are not.

Into the real world.

Is destroyed.

Is long lost.

Is really the wizard, Merlin.

Is seldom the easiest.

Is that clear?

Is that the fastest you can go? We got you now

Is the Lady of the Lake really in every body of water

Is utterly hopeless!

Is what makes you pure of heart.

It didn't work. She's not dead.

It doesn't choose by birth or blood, Alexander,

It doesn't matter, I've made up my mind.

It doesn't stand a chance.

It is strong in magic.

It means don't be rude or swear or be nasty to people.

It means sword of Arthur

It means, "Sword of Arthur, son of Tinta gel."

It must be the Code.

It takes a very particular potion to restore my strength.

It turns people against each other

It was the Sword in the Stone...

It was worth a try.

It was you who drew the sword.

It won't be easy, Alex.

It would hurt you, change you.

It's 7:30am, it's time for the news.

It's a duplication illusion.

It's a tough world out there

It's all a lie.

It's all just like in the book.

It's all lies.

It's already dark.

It's because you're scared.

It's been great to meet you, and good luck with everything.

It's catching up! On the left! On the left!

It's exactly the same in every story we ever read.

It's going to explode!

It's gonna get the sword. I'm suffocating! Help!

It's just like in the book.

It's just, I'm used to reading about this kind of thing.

It's Latin.

It's like no one's been down here for centuries.

It's Merlin.

It's not "Tinta gel," it's Tintagel.

It's not against the law to take a morning constitutional.

It's not exactly the right color, but...

It's not night or day.

It's not true, is it?

It's not yours. Alex drew it. It chose him. It's his.

It's okay. You don't have to lie to me.

It's pulling me under!

It's really good when it works.

It's stolen property, and it's a weapon.

It's the same place.

It's this way, behind the vines.

It's too dangerous, we'll die.

It's too late.

It's true. We're just kids.

It's where my dad lived.

It's working.

It's you that has to change.

Journey with care...

Jump!

Just calm down, Bedders.

Just like King Arthur did, just like in the legend.

Kaye, please.

Kaye, thanks.

Kaye!

Keep it moving. Well done.

Keep moving! Good work! Go!

Keep your voice down

King Arthur, Luke Skywalker, Harry Potter.

King Arthur's most loyal knights

Kneel before your king.

Ladies and gentlemen!

Lady of the Lake...

Lance and Kaye rule the school.

Lance, Bedders, Kaye, quickly! This way! Hurry!

Lance, help.

Lance, Kaye, go along the cliff,

Lance, Kaye, now!

Lance, no!

Lance!

Lance!

Lance! Get up! Move!

Lance! Kaye! Help!

Lance! Run!

Lance! What are you doing?

Lance.

Leaderless. Leaderless...

Leave him alone!

Leave us alone!

Left block.

Left rein to go left, right rein to go right,

Legs wide.

Let alone contending with a Mortes Milles.

Let go of me! Leave me alone!

Let me do the talking.

Let me try again.

Let me try something.

Let the land be my eyes and ears.

Let the roots be my senses.

Let them go!

Let's go!

Let's go! Ready your ropes!

Let's see what you've got, you stupid twigs.

Like copper, and are called base metals.

Like Frodo and Samwise

Like I told you...

Like in the book he gave me.

Like King Arthur fought.

Like, even in a swimming pool?

Liquidized.

Listen to me. For the first time ever,

Listen...

Long lost.

Look after yourself, just like you always do.

Look at the walls.

Look what it's doing.

Look, Alex.

Look.

Look.

Look.

Made a few alterations.

Magic potion. Quickly.

Magical demons,

Magical families.

Many tried to claim the throne

Many tried,

Mario Kart.

Maybe he is a liar and a cheat and a bully.

Maybe he is scared and selfish.

Maybe he's a Burger King.

Maybe I haven't told you as much as I should about him.

Maybe if you hadn't left that

Maybe it's a prank.

Maybe she's not coming. Maybe it's over.

Maybe there were hidden cameras.

Maybe we both are.

Maybe we take one each.

Maybe you can say it's a solar flare.

Maybe you're right.

Me and Bedders used to hate Lance and Kaye.

Meek.

Meek.

Meek.

Meek.

Meet on the roof!

Men's hearts have grown hollow.

Merlin lied to you.

Merlin said nighttime would be dangerous.

Merlin, speak to me! Are you okay?

Merlin, we won the battle,

Merlin, we've got her! We're ready!

Merlin!

Merlin!

Merlin!

Merlin!

Merlin! Help us!

Merlin! Help us!

Merlin! Merlin!

Merlin! Merlin!

Merlin.

Merlin.

Merlin. Are you okay?

Merlin. Don't go.

Merlin. Look.

Merlin's not coming back till sunrise.

Mertin Ambrosius Caledonensis.

Mertin?

Mertin.

Mertin... Merlin, wait.

Mm.

Mom, don’t freak out, OK?

More important than anything in the world.

Morgana and her army of undead knights

Morgana's not dead.

Morning.

Mortes Milles? Is that what came to get me last night?

Move aside, move aside!

Move! Hide!

Mum, I've got something to tell you.

Mum!

Mum?

Mum.

Mum.

Must be mine.

My battalion, to the far corner.

My dad gave me a book once, years ago...

My dad's a hero. He's the key to all of this.

My dad's not here.

My head's filling up with blood.

My mum lied to me.

My mum said he had his battles and his demons.

My name is Alexander Elliot.

My name's Alexander Elliot.

My time will come.

My Year 11's are meant to be off timetable

Nah.

Never to lie to each other ever again.

Nice sword. Looks real.

Nightfall will be ours.

Nightfall will be ours.

Nightfall will be ours.

Nightfall will be ours.

Nightfall will be ours.

Nightfall will be ours.

Nightfall will be ours.

Nightfall will be ours.

Nighttime will be dangerous for you too, Alexander.

No chance.

No dishonor. No lying.

No more than 12 winters.

No one said anything about any kind of historical reenactment.

No one said anything about that.

No one.

No way. I don't kneel. Not for anybody.

No way. I'm not huddling with anyone.

No, Bedders. Absolutely not.

No, I'm sorry.

No, it is not, you ignorant buffoon!

No, it's not.

No, no, and no.

No, not yet, you haven't.

No, please don't.

No, this is nothing to do with her.

No!

No.

No.

No. It's mine.

No. Lance! No!

No. You can't take it away.

No. You're wrong.

None of them know their fathers,

Nor can they use its weight to hasten their speed.

Not bad.

Not just fight for yourselves.

Not since the Dark Ages,

Not the kind of person who believes in fairy tales,

Not the kind of person who gets into fights,

Not to rest.

Not tonight. I'm too tired.

Not without adult supervision and a hi vis vest.

Nothing without his friend.

Nothing you or anyone does is ever gonna change that.

Nothing.

Nothing.

Nothing.

Nothing.

Nothing's your fault.

Now squeeze as hard as you can.

Now squeeze as hard as you can.

Now, a long time ago, people called "alchemists"

Now, don't freak out, okay?

Now, kneel.

Now, rewind.

Now, we're taking that sword to the police station

Now, you have an army to fight,

Now, you must choose what you stand for

Now, your carriage seems warm and dry.

Now!

Now! Go! Go! Go!

Obeying the Code from the moment the sword is drawn

Of course it is.

Of course not.

Of magic.

Off me! Get off me, shrimp!

Oh my god, you’re such a nerd

Oh, but it is.

Oh, look. It's the Lego Minifigure boy.

Oh, my God, you're such a nerd.

Oh, my God. He's right.

Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God.

Oh, no.

Oh, no.

Oh, thank God you're back.

Oh, well.

Oh!

Oh!

Oh. Forgive me.

Oi! Alex Elliot!

Oi! Come here! Here, boy!

Oi! Mini Merlin! What are you doing?

Oi! What do you think you're doing?

Oi. What you running for?

Okay, okay!

Okay, ready.

One set of keys each. Go.

One, two, three.

Open the window. Hurry.

Open your hand.

Or Chewbacca and Han

Or Donkey and Shrek.

Or I'll just have to give all three of you detention.

Or I'll punch my PIN number into your legs.

Or to wear loose fitting garments

Or unblocked chimneys left in this godforsaken country?

Or when every risen warrior...

Or won with swords or armies.

Or you, your people,

Others are rare and valuable, like gold,

Over here! Come and get it!

Pay attention, everybody.

People's hearts grew hopeless and hollow.

Perfect.

Perhaps you have more battles yet to fight.

Persevere in any enterprise until the end.

Playing little games, are we?

Please don't.

Please return Excalibur.

Please, I'm trying to think.

Powerless people in the school.

Pretty illustrations, but...

Pull it!

Pull!

Pull! Harder! Pull!

Pull! Pull!

Put it into Google translate

Put it into Google Translate.

Put me down!

Put that down. Now.

Quick Betis, lift up the flaps

Quick, Bedders. Lift up the flaps.

Quicker!

Quickly now.

Quickly!

Quickly!

Quiet down, please.

Quiet. Quiet. Listen.

Really, it's embarrassing.

Really?

Really? Seriously?

Remember, legends are mere rumors

Return Excalibur.

Reverse! Reset! Reposition!

Ride! As fast as you can.

Right block.

Right. We should stick together, whatever happens.

Romeo Charlie zero one,

Ruins, dead bodies,

Rule one. Honor those you love.

Rule three.

Rule two. Refrain from wanton offense.

Run!

Save for the one who drew the sword

Saving Britain from eternal slavery

Saving your life, boy. From that thing.

See you later, girls.

See you when we see you.

See you, sword.

See? None of this happened by accident.

Senses.

She is greed, entitlement,

She said he was battling demons.

She said they were too young when they had me.

She thought he might've changed, but he hadn't.

She turned to dark sorcery.

She was King Arthur's half sister.

She's coming back...

She's even stronger than I feared.

She's here! Be careful!

She's in every body of water. So maybe she's in this one.

Shortcut.

Sir Beddersvere fights man to man!

Sir Beddersvere,

Sir Beddersvere.

Sir Lance and Lady Kaye are overwhelmed!

Sir Lance, Lady Kaye,

Sir Lance, Lady Kaye.

So far.

So great! You were so good.

So if they ever dare try anything...

So long.

So that they were all equal.

So that's your names.

So the wizard Merlin

So they can hold on to power.

So they think themselves knights?

So this time, Merlin can fight beside us.

So what kind of a king are you?

So what?

So when the entire school's out in the playground

So, don't step up unless you're ready.

So, I'm gonna video what you do and try and copy it.

So, let us begin.

So, there's your sword back.

So, who will stand with us today?

So?

Some metals are common,

Some people say it's where King Arthur was born.

Some sort of astrological clock?

Somebody help me

Somebody help us!

Someone throw me a jacket!

Sometimes by the rich and powerful

Somewhere we can think.

Soon, darkness will dawn.

Sorry if I'm staring, but you look just like him.

Sorry, Mum.

Sorry.

Sorry.

Sort of.

Sound the retreat! Fall back!

Speak the truth at all times.

Stand back, please. We're on a mission.

Stand back.

Stay close. Form a circle.

Stay here. Find something to defend yourself with.

Stay. Stay.

Stonehenge is a transport hub.

Stop it! Stop that!

Stop talking.

Stronger.

Sure. Help yourself.

Surely, Officers,

Swear it.

Take a shield, move on to the next table.

Take a shield.

Take a sword.

Take cover!

Take it.

Take me east at once, posthaste.

Take the sword and push.

Take the sword.

Take these, follow me.

Tell me I'm dreaming this!

Tell me the truth. Where did you get that thing?

Than ever before,

Than it has been for centuries.

Than you can ever comprehend.

Thank you, Merlin!

Thank you, Merlin.

Thank you, Merlin.

Thank you. Thank you, God.

Thanks, Merlin.

Thanks, Mum.

That fast as you can go?

That he has grown so young?

That is how the world works.

That is not Excalibur.

That may be so. Yet know this.

That permit fresh air

That was a great adventure.

That was amazing.

That'll teach him.

That's a lie.

That's because I live backwards in time.

That's hardly the attitude of a knight, young man.

That's it for me. I'm off.

That's lovely.

That's me, Bedders. That's me!

That's not true!

That's ridiculous. I'm 12.

That's right. Walk away.

That's the real Sword in the Stone, do you?

That's what we're trying to change.

That's when your mum brought you to see him.

That's where Arthur fought Morgana.

That's where I was when he gave me this book.

That's why everything went back to normal after you left.

That's why her strength returns.

That's why my mum disappeared.

That's why we need defenses.

The barricade won't hold for long.

The book always knows what to do.

The boy, Beddersvere, is meek.

The boy, Lance, is greedy.

The Chivalric Code is the set of rules

The Code is the cornerstone of a civilized society,

The Code.

The country became lost and leaderless.

The dual realms will be bridged,

The eclipse gives us one advantage.

The future is theirs, not ours.

The general public's not permitted

The girl, Kaye, is clever but callow.

The inscription.

The king must die.

The king must die.

The king. The new king. Find the new king.

The Lady of the Lake, Excalibur's guardian.

The land is mine.

The land was torn apart by war.

The last time I ever saw him.

The legend says

The Mortes Milles cannot touch you there.

The Mortes Milles will come for us at sunset.

The Mortes Milles will rise

The Mortes Milles will rise again.

The Mortes Milles will rise again.

The most worthwhile path, my young friends,

The myths you believe.

The older I grow, the younger I become.

The path you choose must be your own.

The police have been looking for you.

The red in this cherryade derives from beetle blood.

The same as you. The truth.

The Saxons halted on Badon Hill.

The siege of Guinnion Fort,

The sun sets. And if you do not defeat her,

The sword doesn't care who your parents are.

The sword has returned.

The sword is mine.

The sword must be mine.

The sword must be mine.

The sword must be mine.

The trees will slow them down!

The vanilla in this ice cream, from beaver urine.

The very credo upon which this nation was built.

The water's getting deeper.

The world is becoming more unstable

The world is rotten, Alexander.

Their faith will crumble.

Their future, their country?

Their hearts pure and noble.

Their hope will turn to hate.

Their quest will be their doom!

Their quest will be their doom.

Their souls enslaved by evil.

Their spell is only broken at sunrise.

Their whole body with their blade.

Then I found out it wasn't just any sword in a stone,

Then it sets for the last time.

Then just watch.

Then we're taking it back there. Right now.

Then why did he leave?

Then why did he write this?

Then why would you want to find him?

Then you must destroy her so that she can never return.

Then you want us to skip school tomorrow morning,

Then, Lady of the Lake...

There are three moons until the solar eclipse

There is a wise, old soul within every child.

There is no turning back.

There it is. Tintagel Island.

There was another.

There you are.

There's an old ruined castle there.

There's another one.

There's millions of kids in this country

There's no doorway.

There's no one here! Everyone's vanished!

There's nothing either of us can do.

There's nothing here.

There's nothing you can do.

There's someone in this school who's more bullyable than us.

There's something I have to do.

There's something written on the guard.

There's something written on the guard.

There's thousands of them.

There's too many of them.

There's too many!

There’s your sword back and good luck with everything

These children have more goodness and nobility

These ponies are way too small.

These sections of the Earth's crust

They defeated an enemy bigger than all of them.

They have no future.

They may not be against demons or undead knights,

They were bullying Bedders.

They won't believe us. No one will.

They'll attack head on

They'll follow the sword.

They'll kill you. They'll kill us all.

They'll take it away.

They're catching up!

They're coming for us.

They're coming. I can feel it.

They're everywhere!

They're for little girls.

They're here!

They're just made of bones! We can kill them!

They're moving.

They're right behind us.

They're still coming!

They're through the gates.

They've got me!

Think, boy. Think!

This battle is yours, not mine.

This book you covet, Alexander...

This boy has a very important announcement.

This boy, Mertin,

This country is in danger.

This is 100% for real.

This is Alexander Elliot.

This is destiny

This is destiny.

This is detention, not art class.

This is further than I've ever walked in my life.

This is gonna sound really weird,

This is her writing.

This is instead of lessons today.

This is it. Good luck.

This is like every story we’ve ever read, Luke Skywalker, Harry Potter, something amazing happens.

This is something I have to do on my own.

This is the worst and best

This is too creepy.

This isn't a game.

This isn't junior school anymore.

This land is divided. Lost and leaderless.

This realm faces mortal danger!

This time I'm gonna do something about it.

This was meant to be.

This way, into the forest!

Those dead things were double the size.

Three!

Tie two ropes on each vaulting horse.

Till last thing the night before...

Tintagel Island is King Arthur's birthplace.

To approach the stones without the correct authorization!

To circulate around one's crevices and furrows.

To distract them from itself.

To enter the realm of the living

To journey to Tintagel, find your long lost father,

To learn the basics of swordcraft,

To precious metals.

To save your kingdom from slavery!

Tomorrow night, after school.

Trust me, I'm as shocked as you.

Trusts in lies.

Try some of this!

Turning up to school in the middle of the morning

Two!

Uh, excuse me!

Until I remembered

Until sunrise, you are alone.

Upper block.

Use the weight of the sword.

Use this to your advantage.

Use your wits.

Utterly invigorating.

Vengefulness.

Very well.

Wait for it.

Wait for it. Wait for it.

Wait for us. We wanna talk to you.

Wait, that's not right.

Wait. The sword will tell us.

Waiting for her moment to return and enslave us.

Warn Bedders' battalion! They're coming through!

Was Arthur's own half sister, Morgana.

Was it a temple? A burial ground?

We already do that, Bedders.

We are now on Bodmin Moor,

We can do it, Merlin.

We can't do this without you.

We can't give up because... look how far we've come.

We cannot talk to that boy.

We don't have any choice.

We don't know where the entrance to the Underworld is

We don't know you, and we don't want to know you.

We have a new pupil joining the class today.

We have to do it.

We have to find him.

We have to go to Cornwall. To Tintagel.

We have to have a serious talk about that sword

We have to stay away from him.

We just saved each other's lives

We like games. Can we join in?

We lost one!

We need beetle blood.

We need more men!

We need to go somewhere no one can find us.

We need to raise an army.

We need you to help us defeat her.

We need you!

We never were, and we never will be.

We really should huddle together for warmth.

We swear.

We went on a quest to Tintagel.

We will. But I have to show you something first.

We'd better leave.

We'd like to buy some armor, please.

We'll make sure we're on the same bus every morning.

We're dry.

We're Han and Chewie, Frodo and Samwise.

We're knights.

We're not walking to Cornwall!

We're nothings now.

We're right behind you!

We're the most insignificant,

We're the very first.

We've got a quest to finish.

Weaker... Weaker...

Weaknesses.

Welcome, boy.

Well done! Well done!

Well done! Well fought!

Well fought!

Well fought. We did it. Well done!

Well, not anymore.

Well, there's one thing I don't get.

Well, what did your mum tell you about him?

Well, you're not royal.

Well...

Were called Lancelot, Kay and Bedivere.

What are we gonna do, Alex?

What are we gonna do?

What are you doing here?

What are you doing, boy?

What are you doing?

What are you going to tell her?

What are you gonna do now, Percy Jockstrap?

What do you mean, "upcoming"?

What do you mean?

What if it's a trick?

What if it's Excalibur?

What if it's the Sword in the Stone?

What if it's...

What if she's trying to separate us?

What if you're the only person

What if you're the only person who could pull that sword out

What is your location?

What just happened?

What Merlin said. Gather some allies.

What the flip's happened?

What they once had...

What was it, then? Activity day? School trip?

What would make you jump on someone

What you stand for.

What?

What?

What's "wanton"?

What's he doing?

What's the matter? What are you frightened of?

What's your name?

When Arthur trapped Morgana.

When exactly is this total solar eclipse due?

When hearts are hollow

When Morgana will seize her opportunity

When their orbits intersect,

When they rise, time freezes

When you are long gone,

Where are you going, Alex?

Where are you going? Don't run away.

Where did you learn how to drive?

Where did you learn how to drive? Mario Kart.

Where's everyone gone? Why are all these cars empty?

Where's Merlin?

Where's Morgana?

Where's your respect for the Chivalric Code?

Whispered down the centuries.

Who could have pulled that sword out?

Who had no idea he was Uther's long lost son.

Who made you king?

Who started it?

Who will join us?

Who will kneel at his feet and swear allegiance?

Who will stand up to save their friends,

Who will then help you find the entrance to the Underworld

Who you trust.

Who's Morgana?

Who's Tinta gel?

Whoa!

Whoa. They just vanished.

Why are all these children walking towards us?

Why didn't you say something? Why didn't you tell someone?

Why don't you introduce yourself?

Why don't you shut up and fight?

Why should we?

Why would people like us... help people like you?

Why?

Why? What are you gonna do?

Will attack the school.

Will cause the upcoming total solar eclipse.

With a better start in life than you.

With an elemental manipulation.

With dictators and strongmen

With their faces half falling off and everything.

With their ignorance of nature,

With their toys and trivialities,

Without even thinking about it.

Without fail.

Wow!

Wow.

Written and rewritten, told and retold.

Yeah, because you love yourself.

Yeah, how can we ever change anything else?

Yeah, it really was.

Yeah, me too.

Yeah? So what if I do?

Yeah? Well, who made you better than everyone else?

Yeah.

Yeah. Real valuable.

Yeah. Why would we, like, even be seen with you?

Yes, it does.

Yes, my lord.

Yes, please.

Yes, that's right.

Yes! Yes! Yes!

You always tell me to stop talking,

You always used to believe that, Alex.

You and I are history, Morgana.

You and me have got a fight to finish.

You are brave, loyal and noble.

You are mine.

You are truly Knights of the Round Table.

You broke everything.

You broke Excalibur.

You broke it.

You came all the way here from London by yourself?

You can help yourself.

You can't give up, it's not allowed.

You can't win.

You did.

You do?

You don't really think

You don't remember me, do you?

You don't understand. I'm the once and future king,

You drew Excalibur, Alex. Nothing else matters.

You got us here.

You gotta pay for the privilege.

You guys, first on the right.

You have been chosen

You have learned to fight for others,

You have more battles yet to fight

You have no noble blood, you have no army.

You have no pity.

You have to go. Now.

You have truly surpassed my every expectation.

You know that, don't you?

You know, every time you sleep in

You look about 16.

You look like you've been through the wars.

You merely wounded her.

You must commit the following to memory.

You must find the entrance to the Underworld.

You must lure her. Trap her.

You must saddle your steeds, gird up your armor,

You must write them anew.

You nearly got us all killed.

You need nothing

You saved us.

You see? They're all linked.

You sought the truth, child,

You swear, if I do, you'll let me knight you both?

You think all that matters is how strong you are

You think it's an excellent plan? Really?

You tricked us into this in the first place.

You turned us from enemies into allies,

You wanna survive in this school,

You want it?

You were just trying to protect me.

You were right.

You will need a weapon, each.

You will start to see how these two planets,

You will still know what it stands for...

You wouldn't understand.

You.

You'll have to find someone else.

You're a bad person.

You're a king, Alexander.

You're a king, are you? Really?

You're actually the real, true king?

You're better off without us.

You're coming back to my house

You're cutting off my circulation.

You're dead now, you little snitch!

You're listening to the BBC.

You're my closest and oldest and very best friend.

You're right.

You're scared you're a nothing. A nobody.

You're scared you're not gonna get anywhere or be anyone.

You're Sir Lancelot and Lady Kaye.

You're supposed to have both of them.

You've got to see what I found

You've hardly aged a day.

You've survived the night unscathed,

You've survived three nights against the Mortes Milles.

You've traveled so far.

You’re a King Alexander, the sword chose you

Your behavior here

Your homework's all over the kitchen table.

Your mother lied to you.

Your mum bought you this book.

Your name isn't Mertin, is it?

Your quest has been decided.

Your weapons are heavy and cumbersome,

20 mile walk due west to Tintagel Island!

140 miles from Stonehenge

...but a lowborn serf. Serf.

Alex. What?

and save Britain from slavery? Yes.

Aw. Mm.

Barricade! Barricade!

Barricade! Barricade!

Barricade! Barricade!

Bravo! Congratulations. Yes!

Build the barricade! Quickly!

But what if... But what if what?

Come on, Bedders. I'm coming.

Come on, Lance! I hate this already.

Come on. Take cover. Come on. Take cover.

Did you find him? What did he say?

Don't leave me behind! Quickly!

Fall back! Fall back! Retreat now! Now!

Fearful. Fearful.

Four days' time. Four days?

Go on. But you'll laugh at me.

Go! Run!

got the sword. Bedders.

Hello. Hello.

Help me! Kaye!

Help! Help!

Help! Hold them off.

Help! I can't breathe! Bedders! Lance!

Hey! Alex!

Hold the line! Retreat!

Hurry up, Bedders! Come on!

I can taste it... Taste.

I need it. I'm not telling you again.

I wanna be king. I wanna be queen.

I want it! Mine!

It's Chinese food, I think. It is not Chinese food.

Know your place. Place.

Lance, help! Help! No!

Leaderless. Leaderless.

Let us stop here awhile. Oh, thank God!

Merlin. Merlin!

Move! Hurry!

Oh, no. You're kidding.

Ooh. Why should we?

Or a bucket of water? Or a puddle?

Prepare for battle! Prepare for battle!

Pull! Pull! Pull!

Quickly. Over there! Run!

Ready? Do it!

Run! Bedders!

Run! Hurry! Wait! Wait!

Sense it in the soil. Sense it.

Somebody help me. Hey! Let him go.

The traffic! Stop! Stop!

There's two more! We can't outrun them.

They are divided. Divided.

They're teaching us. I know.

To train! What?

We can't risk it. You're right.

What did he just say? Did he say a 20 mile walk?

What's he doing? Alex!

Where do we go? You're a king, boy.

Yes, Miss. Okay, Miss.

Yes, yes! Heroes! Woo!

You are nothing... Nothing.

You better be in bed. Quick, go.

...I grow stronger.

...in the rain.

...not entirely accurate.

...starting the day on an empty battery.

'Scuse me.

"Gladius...

"Honor those you love."

"To Alex, my once and future king. Dad."

"Upcoming"?

"Wanton" means deliberate or unprovoked.
