from extinction.
I don't care
if you die and disappear.
I will, unless I fight and win.
I'll never help you.
You will.
I'll make you.
I swear on ambrosia's grave
and the grave of my mother
I'll only ever use my powers
On this, I swear.
And thus I set my course.
I knew Mab had heard me
But right from the start
She believed she could make me
break my oath.
After all, part of her
was in me.
So she waited patiently
in the shadows
For the time
when she could strike
And make me see
the error of my ways.
So the world turned
and turned again.
The rain fell on the just
and unjust alike.
Men and women
were cut down like wheat
To be born again strong.
Mab had to wait years,
but it didn't matter.
Those years passed
as if in seconds
And then she found a way
Pull away!
Vortigern:
It's a fine position
for a new castle.
Don't you think,
Lord Ardente?
It will be impregnable,
your majesty.
No army can take it.
Not even Uther's.
My Lord, Uther is
in Normandy, sire.
My spies tell me
he's raising an army
And getting ready
to sail for England.
He wants to kill me.
I don't blame him.
I killed his father,
king constant.
King constant
was a tyrant.
Not unlike myself.
Yes, sire.
Uh, no, no, sire.
( chuckling ):
No, no.
You don't sound very
convincing, my Lord.
What I'm interested
in is, in case
we'd have to fight
Whose side would
you be on--
His or mine?
I have always been loyal
to your majesty.
I've pledged
my entire army to you.
True up till now.
Trouble is I don't trust anyone.
I want
guarantees.
You have my word, sire.
It's not good enough.
I'm keeping your daughter
Nimue just to be sure.
Guards!
Guard:
Sire!
This is outrageous... Sire.
I'm sorry.
Nimue:
King Vortigern.
Whatever you do to me,
my father will do what is right.
Of course, he will.
If you stay loyal
to me, she'll be safe
But if you betray me...
I will kill her myself.
Nimue:
Father!
Father!
( men shouting )
How does it go?
Any progress?
Fine, sire, fine.
The Linets on the west
side need bolstering.
Man:
Run for your life!
( men screaming )
Tell me roughly what happened.
I don't know, sire.
Guards!
Man:
Sire!
Take him away!
It shouldn't
have done that.
It's the Linets.
I'm sure it's
the Linets.
Get me a different architect!
Hey, you.
You.
( frightened moan )
Why won't it stand?
I'm a soothsayer,
your majesty
Not an architect.
If you are a soothsayer,
you should know.
Tell me why it is
That every time I try
to rebuild the tower...
It collapses.
Ah, well, uh...
Yes, indeed, yes.
Um...
You think I should
know that, sire?
Yes.
Yes, yes. Well, I'll
read the stones.
Then read them.
Oh, I will, sire.
I will.
That's something
I do very well, sire.
Why is it that I surround myself
With a bunch
of incompetent fools?
Soothsayer:
I've been a worshipper
Of the old ways all my life.
Now that life is in danger
And it's a Precious life.
It's mine.
I've never had any real help,
no, not never.
Oh.
What am I going to do?
I've no idea why his tower
keeps falling down.
( thunderclap )
( screams )
The land is cursed.
You've appeared.
You've appeared
after all these years.
It is-- it is Queen Mab.
Yes... Old man.
Oh, majesty.
The land is cursed.
Neither tower nor
castle will stand.
So... What do we do?
You must find a man
who has no mortal father
And mix his blood
with the mortar.
Mmm.
( laughing )
Splendid.
But, um...
A man who has no mortal father.
Um... Hmm.
Where can I find a man
like that?
I will show you.
( horses approaching )
( man shouting )
Seize that man!
Welcome to my home, sir.
What can I do for you?
I'm the king's
soothsayer.
Merlin:
An important position.
Oh, and a fragile one.
I'm the third royal
soothsayer this year.
Vortigern gets through them
at an alarming rate.
He gets through
everything at
an alarming rate.
It seems to be holding.
It will hold this time,
your majesty.
Never fear.
Never have.
Good, good.
The foundations
are as solid...
( loud rumbling )
You were saying?
( whimpering )
Soothsayer:
Your majesty.
Your majesty, I found him--
The man
without a mortal father.
This better
not be one
Of your tricks.
No, no, no, sire,
it's all true.
Well, there's only
one way to find out.
( grunts )
Get a bowl.
Cut his throat.
( gasping )
Do it now.
What's the matter
with you?
He's a wizard.
He doesn't look
like much of
a wizard to me.
Why do you want
to cut my throat?
It's nothing personal.
I have to mix your blood
with the mortar
for the castle.
This old fool says
it's the only way to
make the building stand.
It's easy to die
Knowing you'll die
for your country.
If I may first
offer some advice.
Your majesty's in danger
of seeming...
A little stupid.
( gasps )
What did you call me?
Stupid.
( chuckles )
This man thinks
He's me.
Why would you
call me stupid?
Because...
It's obvious why you
Can't build a castle
there-- look.
I'm looking.
Soothsayer:
I don't see anything.
Can't you see
the stream?
It runs
No water there,
I swear.
Soothsayer:
I can see it.
We can all see it.
You wanted to build
my castle on water?
That's not all
that's wrong.
You've woken the dragons.
Dragons?
What dragons?
I see two dragons...
One red, one white.
My crest is
a white dragon.
Soothsayer:
It's an omen.
Wouldn't you say, sire?
( screaming )
What else
did you see?
The red dragon
conquered the white.
It's an omen.
Wouldn't you say, sire?
It could be an omen.
( horses approaching )
News for king Vortigern!
Your majesty,
Prince Uther
Has landed
from Normandy
With a great army.
He's marching
on Winchester.
You foresaw all this.
I see things unknown.
Gather my armies.
We March on Winchester.
I've been fighting
My enemies for 15 years.
Every time I crush one,
another one takes his place.
Will it ever end?
Perhaps you need me
to foretell the future.
Then you could
crush them all
Before they get a
Chance to cause trouble.
Ah.
Of course, then you
wouldn't be able
to cut my throat.
You're an extraordinary man.
But I can't have extraordinary
men running around.
You're not quick enough.
That's a mistake
many of my enemies make.
I act before I think.
That's my advantage.
And, you.
You're out of a job.
Oh, yes, sire.
Tie the wizard.
Come on, quick, before
he changes his mind.
Man 1:
Open the gate!
Man 2:
Open the gates!
Man 3:
Open the gates!
Man 2:
The king approaches!
There they are.
Throw him in.
( chuckling )
Frik.
( sighs ):
Hello, Frik. How are you?
Overworked and underpaid.
to inquire.
You're in
serious trouble
This time,
master Merlin.
