How did they ever make
a vulgarian like Vortigern king?
You mortals
have no sense
Of the fitness of things.
Quite appalling.
( grunts )
Anyway, I'm here
with a message from Mab.
Naturally.
She hates me.
No, but she's
rather disappointed
That you've refused
to use your magic power.
I swore an oath
on ambrosia's
grave, Frik.
But why won't you
use it, master Merlin?
Because Mab
wants me to!
You will in the
end, you know.
You're half human.
She's a terrible enemy,
master Merlin
And a very poor employer.
Well, I mean,
I could tell you stories.
But enough
of my problems.
( Nimue whispering ):
Merlin.
Merlin.
( birds chittering )
Merlin.
Merlin?
Nimue.
It is you, Merlin.
Nimue...
What are you doing here?
I'm a hostage.
Vortigern wants to make sure
That my father doesn't
join prince Uther.
Why? Was he going to?
No, but he doesn't
trust anybody.
( voices approaching )
It's dangerous
being near him.
No one knows
Who he will strike down next.
It seems I said
the wrong thing.
I told him
( chuckles )
I hope you're right.
What is
the matter?
Are you ill?
No, no. It's
just that I, um...
I need space to breathe.
These four walls
are suffocating me.
Nimue...
All these years.
I've always remembered
you, Merlin.
( all talking )
Uther has captured
Winchester.
He's unstoppable.
I'll stop him.
( door opens )
I didn't send
for you.
That's why I'm here.
I've killed men
for such insolence.
And women?
And children.
( scoffs )
I'm trembling.
What makes you
so brave, woman?
Knowing that if
you hurt me
My father and his men
will join Uther.
All right
You're here now.
So, what is it
you want?
Merlin, the wizard, is sick.
Get him a physician.
There is no cure
but his freedom.
I can't give him that.
Well, then
he'll die.
We all die...
Eventually.
Even wizards.
But if he does
You will not know
about the battle.
He has had
another vision.
Don't you want to know
how to win?
( door opens )
Come.
Vortigern:
I now have
The strongest army
Britain has ever seen.
It may not
be enough,
your majesty.
Uther and his men
follow the Christian way.
I thought they didn't
believe in killing.
Oh, they'll kill
in a holy cause
And destroying you
is a holy cause.
How convenient.
They kill
when it suits them.
Like the rest
of us, sire?
When will he attack?
Not before
the spring.
Good.
We'll use winter as our ally.
We'll take him by surprise.
( door opens )
Vortigern:
Merlin, I need your help.
How are you?
I know I've been
a little hot-tempered.
Patience is not one
of my virtues.
You have so few
of those
I wouldn't
concern myself
About that one
too much, sire.
How can
I help you?
Can Uther be defeated?
I dreamed a battle
near Winchester...
But I couldn't see
how it ended.
I was too weak.
Dream it again.
I want to know
who wins.
And I want fresh
air and light.
Without them, I
cannot dream dreams
See visions.
Is that all?
Nimue:
Way over there,
beyond those hills
Joseph of Arimathea
came there from Jerusalem
With the holy grail;
The cup our Lord Jesus Christ
used at the holy supper.
It has the power to feed
the hungry and heal the sick.
But the holy grail
was lost to us.
Many men searched for it
But no one has
ever seen it since.
But one day, a man
with a pure heart
will find it
And peace and happiness
will return.
It's a lovely story.
And so are you.
Oh, they hurt... Memories.
Memories of love, they hurt.
to pieces
And I didn't care.
Those were truly
the happiest days of my life.
Nimue:
Are you really a wizard?
A hand wizard.
You mean there is
magic in hands?
Why, yes.
Well, for one thing
Hands can say
so much more than words.
They can, uh...
Welcome, beg, pray.
They can...
Hands can even...
If only
we could keep
Everything as simple
As the roundness
of the Moon.
Look at its
simplicity, Nimue--
Everything equal
No part
more important
Than the rest.
Nimue:
I thought
you weren't
Going to do any magic.
Oh, that wasn't magic.
Magic is real.
That was
just a trick.
Man:
Open the gate.
Man 2:
Open the gates.
Hail, Vortigern,
king of Britain.
I am Mab, Queen of the old ways.
What brings you here, madam?
I can tell you
how to defeat Uther.
What will this
alliance cost me?
There is a price
for everything.
The wizard, Merlin...
I want him.
He is too valuable to me.
He sees things.
He has visions.
Anyone can
have visions.
Don't you
see visions?
Don't you see
yourself winning?
Yes...
But I don't see
why you would want to help me.
on the throne than Uther.
I don't believe
in your old ways.
You...
You don't believe
in anything.
I believe in me.
That's not enough
to make us win.
I understand.
Uther will bring Christianity
to the people
And that'll be
the end of you.
All right.
I'll give you the wizard.
So tell me,
how do I defeat Uther?
Sacrifice Nimue
to the great dragon.
That's not so easy.
Ethics?
Politics.
Ah.
I can't do that.
She's my hostage.
It keeps her father
loyal to me.
Urgent news, your majesty.
Lord Ardente has defected.
How convenient, Mab.
For both of us.
The girl dies.
Let Merlin watch.
( roaring )
Nimue.
Go!
Nimue!
Man:
Run for your lives!
( men yelling )
( screaming )
( snorting )
( roaring )
( screaming )
( grunting )
( yelling )
Merlin!
( roaring )
( screeching )
( screeching )
Merlin!
No!
( wailing )
My Nimue.
( howling )
Very good, Merlin.
Very good.
Merlin:
Like Joseph of Arimathea,
I went to Avalon
Not with the holy grail,
but with something
Much more Precious to me.
Merlin:
Sisters!
Sisters, help, please.
She's very badly hurt.
Steady, steady.
( sighs )
Whilst the monks prayed
And I thought of revenge
The nuns were more practical.
They used their knowledge
To try and save my only love.
Merlin...
Uh...
She's very
badly wounded.
The sisters are
doing all they can
But you must
pray with us.
Why should I pray to your God
If he is going
to take her from me?
But this is
not God's work.
No, you're right. It isn't.
Do you know
who did it?
Oh, yes, I know.
Mab!
Mab!
Mab!
Do you hear me, Mab?!
Mab:
Yes, Merlin.
You destroyed everyone I love--
My mother, ambrosia
and now Nimue.
The end justifies
The means.
I did it for you.
I want you to use the power
In you.
Rise up, dear, dear Merlin,
and be great.
No, Mab.
I'll destroy you
for what you've done to me!
You can't, Merlin.
I'll always be too strong.
I'll find a way.
I will find a way!
Never.
Not ever.
( groans )
Shh. Don't try to speak.
Save your strength.
Don't... Don't turn
your face to the wall.
Nimue?
I'll be scarred.
