you're alive.
Nimue...
I have to go away
for a little while.
When I come back,
it'll be forever.
You will always
be beautiful to me.
My lady of the lake!
My lady of the lake...!
It is I, Merlin!
( echoing ):
It is I, Merlin...!
It is I, Merlin...!
I need help!
( echoing ):
I need help...! I need help...!
I need help...!
For what purpose, Merlin?
To defeat Vortigern.
He's Mab's ally
And a tyrant.
Good king, bad king.
You judge
Too easily, Merlin.
You'll learn.
( rumbling )
( ice crackling )
Lady of the lake:
I give you...
Excalibur!
I heard the sword's song...
( humming )
And it was beautiful.
Now armed with the sword
of the just
I was going to face
another dragon...
A red one.
It was Uthers crest
And I was
about to make it supreme...
If he'd let me.
( whispering ):
A man called Merlin
Wishes to see
you, my Lord.
You're welcome
to Winchester castle
Merlin.
Oh, are you
Merlin the wizard?
Wizard?
We're Christians here, sir.
We don't believe
in your blasphemy.
Well, that's
your choice, sir
But pagan or Christian
I hope you believe
in fresh news.
Well, is it
good or bad?
That depends
how you use it.
Vortigern will attack you
within days.
( men chuckling )
Look, no one
fights in winter.
It isn't done.
Rules of war-- we
fight in Summer.
We rest in winter.
Vortigern isn't interested
in rules and traditions.
He wants to win, and if
circumstances were different
His army's already
on the March.
Take it or leave it.
Why are you
telling me this?
Vortigern...
Is the friend
of my enemy Mab.
So my enemy's enemy
is my friend.
And, besides,
I've already seen
The red dragon
defeat the white
And I think...
That you might make
a fair to decent king.
Oh, you think
so, do you?
King constant wasn't.
You'll have to do
a lot better than your father
But I offer you my services
as a wizard.
Merlin!
I owe you
an apology.
You were right
about Vortigern.
What a fool
to fight
In winter.
Uther:
Perhaps I was the fool
Thinking that winter
would make me safe
But we'll be ready
for him now.
We must choose
our battleground, sire.
Merlin:
Here.
We fight him here.
You mean by the River?
On it.
He has to come down here
through the pass
And cross
on his way to Winchester.
Uther, this is where
you meet Vortigern
And crush him.
Man:
Bring them all
over here then.
Madam.
Uther knows
you're going
to attack him.
He's waiting for you.
I wonder who told
him I was coming.
Merlin.
The dragon didn't
kill him?
What about
the girl?
She's alive.
So much for your magic.
It doesn't matter.
I never believed
in it anyway.
You're a very
brave man, Vortigern
But so stupid.
You have to believe
in something now.
Like what?
I've been king for 20 years.
I've never been defeated.
I didn't use any magic.
I did it with
my bare hands.
What is it?
It'll protect you.
What are you afraid of, madam?
The world is
passing you by...
Leaving you behind.
Kings and queens...
Old ways, new
ways, they...
They all come
together in the end.
I've never been afraid,
and I never will be.
Ah, Vortigern...
Vortigern, it's your pride.
Lord Ardente, the traitor
Who changed sides.
Loose!
( man yelling )
( grunts )
I wish I could.
Charge!
( men yelling )
( yells )
( grunting )
( yells )
Vortigern!
( grunts )
( whispering ):
Ardente...
( yelling )
( grunting )
( groaning )
Vortigern:
Are you going
To use some of your magic on me,
Merlin?
I'll kill you any way I can,
Vortigern...
But I will kill you.
( laughs )
( loud rumbling and cracking )
( yelling )
( yelling )
( Vortigern's yelling echoes )
( ice sizzling )
Only one tear
was shed for Vortigern
And his pride had cast it away.
He paid for it with his life.
That is a mighty sword.
It is Excalibur.
It can only be used
by a good man in a good cause.
I understand.
( men cheering )
I thought I could
now spend time with Nimue.
I thought Uther
would be a good king
And so help defeat Mab
But I was never
a good judge of men.
I always expected
too much of them.
( cheering )
Cornwall...
Cornwall:
Your majesty, may
I present my wife
The Lady Igraine...
And my daughter.
You are welcome to pendragon,
my lady...
And you.
Morgan le fey, your majesty.
Uther:
Cornwall,
would you permit me
To dance with your lady
After the feast?
If your majesty pleases.
Oh, yes, yes...
It will please his majesty
very much.
Merlin...
Merlin:
Uther...
Igraine...
She's beautiful
Isn't she?
Beautiful and...
Somebody else's wife.
But still beautiful.
What does the rest matter?
( laughing )
Are you really
a wizard?
So they say.
Do some magic for me.
Do you wash
behind your ears?
Mm-hmm...
That's not real magic.
It's a trick.
Anyone can do it.
Oh. All right.
You do it, then.
( blows )
There. You see?
I did it.
You're right.
Anyone could do it.
Cornwall:
Morgan?
Hmm?
Come on.
He hardly had the crown
on his head
Before it began all over again.
I decided to leave
And let them stew
in their own juices.
Uther:
Merlin!
May I ride with you?
Of course.
I believe in you, Merlin.
And I in you, Uther.
How great is your power?
Can you make
a woman love me?
( chuckling ):
No.
Magic can't
create love.
Could you kill her husband?
Igraine...
I want her, Merlin...
More than I've ever wanted
anything in the world.
Well, you can't
have her.
Do you know
what love is?
( chuckles )
Yes, Uther, sad to say,
I know what love is.
Give me Igraine.
She's not mine to give.
Then I'll take her...
Even if it means war.
It will.
So be it.
I have Excalibur.
Very well.
Give me the sword.
I shall make a spell.
( rumbling )
( deep voice ):
Who...
Dares...
Wake me.
I am Merlin
And this...
Is Excalibur.
Where did you get it?
A gift...
From the lady of the lake.
She has been
A friend of mine
since before the dawn of time.
If I can remember that,
it means that I'm an old man.
( laughing )
I ask you
to hold Excalibur for me
Until a good man comes
to take it from you.
Then I will be
holding it forever...
( rumbling )
If not longer.
You tricked me, Merlin.
Come, come, Uther...
I'm a wizard.
That's my business.
The sword is yours
if you can take it.
( panting )
( grunting )
Merlin?
Where are you, Merlin?!
( echoing ):
Where are you, Merlin,
where are you, Merlin...
Merlin:
It's Avalon.
Journey's end,
sir Rupert.
I certainly hope so.
