00:19They say that Merlin is mad.
00:36They say he was a king in Dover, but his rule was just and his hand was strong.
00:46They say he was a bard, the son of a princess of lost Atlantis, and a Cymru prophet of great
00:54renown.
00:58They say the future and the past are known to him.
01:07But the fire and the wind tell him their secrets.
01:11But the magic of the hillfolk and druids and daughters of Bel come forth at his easy command.
01:21They say he slew hundreds, hundreds.
01:27Do you hear?
01:29As the world burned and the ground trembled at his wrath, Lord Death thanked him for his
01:35terrible harvest.
01:37Death.
01:38And I've taken all of the others.
01:43Why have you not taken me?
01:52Do you want the way you can?
02:05I don't know.
02:40Do not raise your hand against me again, Danid, if you would keep it.
02:47How do you know my name?
02:49I know a great many things.
02:51Silence!
02:52It's a trick.
02:53A trick, Ithec?
02:56Is that what you believe?
02:58What?
02:59Tuak!
03:01What is it?
03:02He knows us.
03:03He knows nothing.
03:04You haven't already told him.
03:07And you, do not test me.
03:11I am a powerful druid.
03:14I would speak lightly of power, friend.
03:16For I know whence your power comes.
03:22Whoever they were, they've moved on.
03:24You know well who they were, son of Vortigun.
03:27The very Saxon raiders.
03:31You and your father gave a foothold in our land.
03:38You told him who we are.
03:40No, my prince.
03:41I swear it.
03:42I do not care for their manner, my lord.
03:45Perhaps we should not go with them.
03:46We have nothing to fear from these men, Peleus.
03:49And I am eager to meet the man who has made himself king over all others.
03:53It's the quickest way I know to announce to the world that Merlin Emerus has returned to the land of
03:58the living.
04:07My father will like you.
04:10My father will like you.
04:40Provisions are being gathered, but we need time to build a wall.
04:45We haven't got time.
04:52You said it would be done.
04:53And it will be, Grinking.
04:56Riders, approach!
05:14Open the gate!
05:27My father and my king, I bring you a great gift.
05:32And the answer to your troubles.
05:36No, there must be some mistake.
05:39The man I seek was already old when I was a child.
05:43This cannot be the Merlin.
05:45They say Merlin is of the Fearfolk, my king.
05:48They call him Emerus.
05:50Immortal.
05:53Is that so?
05:55Unknown by many names, Vortigan.
06:01You will call him High King.
06:04Passion.
06:11And do you know why I have sought you?
06:15Work on your stronghold is going badly.
06:18You all, Druids, blame an evil spirit for the failure of your masons to build a decent wall.
06:26Go on.
06:27They tell you the blood of a virgin-born man is required to secure your foundations.
06:32Is that not the way of it, Yoram?
06:36Is there any doubt this is the man we require?
06:41He is full of tricks, sir.
06:43Do not let him confuse you.
06:45My enemies ride against me.
06:49I would fortify this position, but each night my walls crumble and fall.
07:01Are you indeed a fatherless child, Merlin Emerus?
07:06Or perhaps just another bastard without a father?
07:10My father was Taliesin at Elthin at Gwyvno.
07:15Names that were once lorded in this land.
07:18Names of great renown.
07:20In Cymru.
07:21Long, long, long, long.
07:22But, sire, Taliesin was no mortal.
07:26He was an otherworldly being.
07:28Must have been used to my mother.
07:33There are no evil spirits at work here, Vortigan.
07:36No man-virgin-born save one only.
07:40Your problem is taking counsel from liars and fools.
07:45What proof do you offer that the wall is not cursed?
08:02On the ground.
08:05On the ground.
08:09You sure?
08:11I grow impatient, Merlin.
08:15Spill your blood to build his wall.
08:18Oh, aye.
08:19Vortigan is a pitiless man.
08:22And desperate.
08:26But nothing will happen to me that is not appointed to happen, Peleus.
08:31You did not bring me back to the world of men to watch me die in this pit.
08:34Enough!
08:35These men mock you.
08:37And they waste what little time we have left.
08:40Parton!
08:42No!
08:53No!
09:01No!
09:04Oh!
09:24No evil spirits, no underground dragon, the spring washes the earth away beneath the
09:33way to the all stone wall, Trader, these men whom I entrusted with my life, they shall
10:03turn themselves forth before me, these men were so eager for your blood, surely they will
10:15not mind my asking for this.
10:45I am an old man, and a fool, you have my apology and you will have my reward.
10:55I'll accept nothing from your hand, Vortigan.
10:59Am I so distasteful to your eyes?
11:02Whatever you would give to me, you have taken from another.
11:07You have done much evil.
11:10And much evil will be done to you.
11:17Have I not held the land in peace these last years?
11:21Giving the Saxon safe harbor to plunder our land is not holding the peace.
11:26I saw no other way.
11:28You traded strength for peace, but there'll be no peace without strength.
11:35Father, you would free these men after they humiliated you in your own court.
11:40I humiliated myself, as did you.
11:44You just killed your own counselors on the brink of war.
11:58I had a vision, a waking dream.
12:03I saw the pit Merlin dug.
12:10I heard his pick as it struck the stone instead of water.
12:16Where a great cavern lay beneath.
12:28Then the cavern went to great stones by gates.
12:32Inside the eggs, two dragons kicked forth the body.
12:36One another.
12:37The first was white, this milk.
12:41And the other...
12:45Red.
12:49Asplod.
12:53When they fought each other, the dragons, and their battles, it was terrible to behold.
13:01So early, they wounded one another, and when they could fight no more.
13:05They dragged themselves back into their eggs.
13:08And slept.
13:10But only to fight again.
13:12Once they were arrested.
13:15What...
13:16What of this dream?
13:18Merlin.
13:21Merlin.
13:23Merlin.
13:30A dream, Merlin.

18:48we will not meet again
18:53Goodbye.
19:09Wanda!
19:26Who's there?
19:32Show yourself!
19:35I wouldn't expect a warrior to turn his back on an enemy.
19:41And now?
19:43And now, we know you're no warrior.
20:02Do I look too old to mount a horse?
20:09I know. I know.
20:13But look at you, Merthenbach.
20:17You are the flower of your race.
20:21Praise God for your long life.
20:43That is enough combat for today, Hawke.
20:46Why must you torment me with Latin?
20:49Because the word of the true god is sharper even than a two-edged sword.
20:52Tell that to the Picti.
20:54Tell that to the Irish raider.
20:56I will learn later when I am old, like Hafgan.
20:59How old do you think me, Merthenbach?
21:02You're as old as the oak on Shrine Hill.
21:05Not quite as old as that.
21:07But what is age to you?
21:10You will grow to be as old as any oak in the island of the mighty.
21:13Does that mean I'll be king forever?
21:17It is a great thing to be a king, Hawke.
21:20A very great thing indeed.
21:23But there is authority of a kind even kings must bear too.
21:28Discover this.
21:28And whether you wear a tork of gold or a beggar's rags, you will earn the name Ambrosius.
21:36What does that mean?
21:39Hmm.
21:41Study your Latin.
21:47Stay.
21:52Merthen.
21:58We must write.
22:00Vortigin's end is upon him.
22:03Lord, you have a scare, my lord.
22:05Does Pandaren still reign in Maradunum?
22:10King Pandaren joined his fathers many years ago, Hawke.
22:17Your grandparents too, my lord.
22:21King Elfin.
22:23Lady Ronwyn.
22:25Kowal.
22:27And the Havkem.
22:30Four.
22:33The king up there in your hovel, haunting the rockwaste like Wraith.
22:39Did you not know that men mark their years differently?
22:45Does Kustenon still rule Kelithon?
22:48His Atlantean blood is strong.
22:52But we would...
22:53We would not be welcome there.
22:56No, my lord.
23:00Go back the way you came.
23:04I'm not sure what that means.
23:08Here am I.
23:16Come on!
23:19Come on!
23:21Come on!
23:23Come on!
23:56Desserts is all ready.
23:59Let them fly.
24:01The battle is before us.
24:03And if one of them is a usurper himself?
24:12It must be me who takes it home.
24:20Justice.
24:22Britain.
24:30Archer!
24:39We have come for blood.
24:42The battle is before us.
24:46To the battle!ف
24:47Help me!
24:48Help me!
24:48Open up!
25:02Help me!

28:25I, King of Britain.
28:27I, King of Britain.
29:07I, King of Britain.
29:32I, King of Britain.
29:43I, King of Britain.

34:53I, King of Britain.
35:00I, King of Britain.
35:07I, King of Britain.
35:10with those golden eyes.
35:21I see a sword.
35:24The hilt is silver and bears a purple gem
35:27carved like an eagle.
35:28It is an emperor's sword.
35:31Emperor's sword?
35:33That's enough, lad.
35:35What else do you see?
35:37I see...
35:38a ring of kings
35:40standing like stones in a circle.
35:43A woman mules in their midst.
35:46She holds the sword in her hands.
35:49She is speaking, but no one hears her.
35:52No one listens.
35:54I see the blade
35:57rusting
35:58and forgotten.
36:05Shall we have a song, Havgan?
36:09Indeed, Misha.
36:15Indeed, Misha.
36:20Be safe.
36:54I never saw Maximus or a sword again.
37:02I never saw Maximus or a sword again.
37:09How he came by today.
37:10I cannot say.
37:12I do know this.
37:15The hearts have brought us together.
37:16It began long before this day.
37:19I will trust you, Merlin Ambrosius.
37:24I will help you in my council.
37:26Yeah, by the gods.
37:27I need an advisor, Uta.
37:30We're not exactly neck-deep in volunteers.
37:42Very well, Aurelius.
37:46Let it be as you say,
37:47and heed the word of your counsellors.
37:49The southern kings will continue to desert you.
37:54Dismiss them.
37:55To hell we will.
37:58If I...
37:59Go on.
37:59Let them return to their own land
38:01and see for themselves what the Sax and Radius have wrought.
38:05Their own people will demand to unite under your banner.
38:08I have friends in the west and north.
38:11I believe we can count them among your supporters.
38:14Master Merlin, I...
38:18I will ride to them and rally them to your cause.
38:21And what are we supposed to do when you play?
38:23King-making, Merlin.
38:25I know a place you'll be safe while we build our forces.
38:31This is where it begins.
38:35First, there is a sword.
38:37The sword of Britain.
38:39And the sword is Britain.
38:53Earth- tylkoen empresas...
39:02Then your captain wins.
39:07The sword of Brisbane.
39:07Then your captain wins.
39:11The arquitect兩者,
39:12the sword will cast him through the ellas.
39:13Dawn04y Sirkrich Vision.
39:14Take it back,
39:14and them will set him up.
39:15A great cast center.
39:19Dhjena, last,
39:19Ladies and gentlemen,
39:21Oh, oh, it is the answer to many prayers, Matthew, seeing you again.
39:42It is usually you who sets camp, while I stare into the fire.
39:48I fear this plan, my lord.
39:51The Cymru king will be threatened by your return, and the north will not help you.
39:55Aurelius has the sword of Magnus Maximus, Aurelius, the emperor's sword.
40:04If you return north, Custanen will not help you.
40:08This is how the summer kingdom begins.
40:10My lord, Custanen will kill you.
40:17I've seen how you struggle.
40:20I've never known your Arwen to burden you so much.
40:27What man I once was, Baleas?
40:29So, you've got your blood.
40:57was. I know. I don't remember how. Almost 50 years I've carried it. Still haven't learned
41:17a note. Elias, I am not worthy of your sacrifice. God alone is worthy of such devotion. As
41:31one cares for another, does he not also care for God? Listen to me carefully, though. You
41:42found me and brought me back to the world of men, and I thank you for that. But let others
41:49make their choice. I have made mine. Good night, my lord. Good night, my true friend.
42:23Mother. Remember what they did, Mother.

49:16Behold, in this Avala, all of the Faerie King.
49:31Praise the Lord from the high places.
49:33Praise him in the Lord of Light.
49:34Praise him, all his angels.
49:36Praise him, all your hosts of heaven.

49:39Praise him, all your shining stars.
49:41Praise him, you and those sky realms.
49:43Praise him.
49:44You are just above the skies.
49:46Let them all praise the name of the Lord.
