Tell me what's the matter.
It's the moment
I've been dreading...
All these years.
It's time for
you to leave.
Leave?
I don't understand.
You were created by Queen Mab.
You have no
mortal father.
There's magic
at work here...
And now she wants you
to join her.
I won't.
You have no choice, my dear.
You can't fight it...
Not yet.
( snorting )
Merlin:
He's talking to me.
He says I have
to go with him.
This will
keep you warm...
On cold nights.
Auntie a...
Now, now, now,
keep your chin up.
Magic has no power
over the human heart.
I love you, auntie a.
Go.
And you can tell her
royal high and mighty
Queen Mab,
that magic or no magic
If she harms you in
any way, I'll have
Her guts for my boot laces.
It was very strange...
And yet it wasn't.
Half of me felt
All this was
the most natural thing
In the world.
I suppose
I'm to get into the boat.
That feeling inside was growing
stronger and stronger.
( man grunting )
I was coming home.
( man grunting )
Sorry I'm late.
Ship left without me--
dreadfully rude, really.
Well, coming aboard.
( three tones blown on whistle )
Who are you?
Shh!
I can't concentrate.
These are treacherous waters--
strong currents, unseen rocks.
( screeching )
( squeaking )
( squeaking )
Follow me,
follow me.
Follow me...
Follow me.
Don't get lost,
don't get lost.
This way, if you will,
master Merlin.
( chuckles )
Your majesty,
well, I mean
I'm rather pleased
to present...
Merlin.
Yes.
Merlin...
Yes?
You've come at last.
Do you know who I am?
Queen Mab.
Yes.
You've grown
handsome and true.
I did well when
I created you.
This is Merlin...
( echoing ):
Merlin...
Who comes to save us.
( echoing ):
Save us...
He will bring the people
back to the old ways.
( echoing ):
Old ways, old ways...
Why am I here?
To learn.
I will teach you to become
The most powerful wizard
in the world.
Why?
To lead mortals
back to us
( Frik groans )
and the old ways.
Well, what if I don't want
to be a wizard?
It's your Destiny.
Remember that branch
and how you made it grow?
That's why
you're here--
To learn.
Oh, Merlin, Merlin...
You'll soon know the power
that is in you
And when it is unleashed
You will hold this world
in the hollow of your hand.
All the magic
of the universe
And all the spells
you will ever need
Are in these books, Merlin.
If I'm half mortal, will I die?
In the fullness
of time.
But...
We can change form.
Hmm...
Queen Mab:
But it is only
an illusion
Particularly in his case.
Sometimes
We can see into the future.
This is you
as you will be.
Will I grow that old?
Have a care,
young Merlin.
Sorry, sir.
No, but
you're right.
Try and stay as young inside
as you are now.
That's another thing
To watch out for,
young Merlin.
Don't start
giving advice.
( laughing )
Queen Mab:
Frik, it's your turn.
Now, master Merlin
There are three classes
of magic.
Three stages of progression
to full wizard status.
( chuckling )
Is wizard by incantation.
Abracadabra.
Devonshot.
The second-stage wizards
are hand wizards
Whose magic is performed
by gestures of the hands
And fingers.
The third and highest
stage of wizardry--
The supreme
exponents--
Are wizards of pure thought
Who need no words nor gestures,
but by their will alone
Pierce the heavens.
Of course, only the
most supremely gifted
Personages become
Wizards of the third stage.
Oh, get on with it.
Yes, madam.
Any questions?
I studied day and night
and learned
that hold this world together
Learnt the secret ways
of other worlds
That exist beneath the surface
and behind the mirrors.
Now you try it.
( groaning ):
Must I?
Yes!
Right hand, sir.
Right hand.
Now, master Merlin,
put it out.
Left hand.
Concentrate.
( groaning )
That happened
Because you didn't concentrate.
Well...
How is he doing?
Did you read
my report, madam?
Yes, yes, but I want
your personal impressions.
Well, I mean, I rather think
he's got the ability.
He could indeed
be the greatest.
Oh, I knew it.
But he never will be.
He can't get past
being a hand wizard.
He doesn't want to do it.
In his heart,
he doesn't like magic.
He doesn't like it?
Well, I-I-I-I know
it sounds shocking
But, I mean, that's
the way it is, isn't it?
Well, we've got to
make him like it.
I have work
for him to do.
Th-the truth is...
He wants to go home.
Home?
Home?!
Why did you call me, Merlin?
I didn't.
You did.
Who are you?
The lady of the lake.
How are you getting on
with my sister Mab?
We two don't get on.
Why?
I don't approve
of what she's been doing--
Creating you, and letting
your mother die like that.
She let my mother die?
Oh, dear.
I shouldn't have told you,
but it just slipped out.
I'm going home.
You should.
Your auntie ambrosia
Is very ill.
( gasps )
Oh, master Merlin?
Where is he?
He's on his way home
To that viper
of a witch ambrosia.
How can he get
across the lake?
My dear sister.
Oh.
If I may say so, madam
It really
would help matters
If you two
could agree to...
When I want your advice,
I'll ask for it, Frik.
As you wish, madam.
What are you going to do?
I'm not going
to lose him.
( no audio )
( coughing )
Mab:
Where is he?
So...
Here you are again.
Still a chip
off the old iceberg, I see.
Oh, please,
don't bother to knock.
Where's Merlin?
You've lost him, haven't you?
Well, I must say,
it's typical.
You've been sliding down
the ladder of success so quickly
These last few years.
You must have got splinters
in your backside.
( hisses )
( gags )
Don't provoke me
Ambrosia.
I'm in no mood for your jibes.
Well, I'm anxious
about him, too.
You should have taken
better care of him.
He'll be here.
He's heard you're ill.
I'm not ill.
I'm dying.
When he comes,
you must send him back.
Can't you make him come back?
It's better that you tell him
his place is with me.
No. I won't do that.
Do you defy me?
Of course I defy you.
I've always
Defied you.
Why?
It's my nature.
When my boy comes here,
I'll say not one word.
He'll do what's in his heart.
( roaring )
Now see what you made me do.
Ambrosia?
Ambrosia!
What is it?
You tell me.
( chuckles )
You're the mistress
of magic.
( chuckles )
Auntie a!
Auntie a!
Dear boy...
You've come back.
What's wrong?
Nothing.
Everything's
as it should be.
Merlin, remember...
Only listen
to your heart.
You killed her.
No, I didn't.
You killed her
Like you killed
my real mother.
No. I only let her die.
You haven't the power
to strike me.
Watch my power grow.
( gasping )
That was very good, Merlin.
I'm impressed.
I'm sorry
About your mother and ambrosia,
but they were casualties of war.
I am fighting to save my people
