You were listening.
I played this song the other night.
These coils are my life.
Two years I'm down here working with them,
and they're making their own music and it was lost on me.
I was never able to appreciate it
until I met you
and heard you talking about music on your radio show, and...
I'm sappy.
(lNDlSTlNCT CHATTERlNG)
BECKY: This is me.
So, do you want to meet up later? 8:00? My lab?
Yeah. Yeah, that would be great.
With me?
With you? Yes.
Making sure.
-I got to... Yoga. -Yeah, I've got to go to the bathroom.
(SlNGlNG) I got a date with a girl 'cause I'm awesome
DRAKE: So, you're the one.
Excuse me?
Prime Merlinean, eh? You don't look like much.
I don't actually know what you're talking about.
Cool. Makes this easy.
(DRYER BLOWlNG)
Can't have anyone hearing your girly cries, right?
I don't actually know who you are.
Really, you don't recognize me?
Are you in Depeche Mode?
What... What...
-What do you weigh, like a buck 20? -Whoa! What the...
This is high school all over again.
(EXCLAlMS)
All right, I tell you what.
Hit me with your best shot, your most powerful spell.
-Okay. -Get the ring out. Put it on. Good boy.
Okay.
Ow!
-No, I'm joking. -Nothing is happening.
-Have you cleared your mind? -Yeah, I'm pretty sure.
-That's nerves and it's the pressure. -I got nothing happening.
-I'm new at this. -The ring's on. Take the ring off.
-Take off the ring. -Take it off.
-Yeah, it doesn't help me... -Enough, you idiot. Watch the door.
You.
No!
-Hello, Dave. -Hi.
-So, Dave. -Oh, man.
I'm going to kill you. Oh, yes, right here in this dismal bathroom.
It's not very classy, but there you go.
But before we get to that unpleasantness,
you're going to tell me where the Grimhold is.
Where is she?
She?
He hasn't told you, has he?
The truth about who's inside the doll?
Sweetheart, you've put your faith in the wrong man.
Tell me, have you ever been in love?
-l... -Yeah.
You're in love right now. I can see it in your eyes.
No, no, no, no. Don't deny it.
I wonder what would happen
if you lost her.
Shut up.
You'd be no better than the rest of us.
Where is the Grimhold?
I don't know.
Oh, Dave, you really are the most dreadful liar.
That's what I keep telling him.
Want your guy back?
Oh!
It's been a while since I've seen the Hungarian Mirror Trap.
I guess I'm just old-fashioned.
Balthazar, look out!
What are you doing here, Dave?
Horvath was trying to kill me.
His moral compass doesn't exactly point north.
Yeah, well, what about yours? Huh?
You haven't been completely truthful with me.
That guy called me the Prime Merlinean.
Balthazar, what is that?
Now, I'm not doing anything else
until you start being truthful with me about what's going on.
Who is in that Grimhold?
Morgana.
Wake up that moron
in stall number three for me, would you?
Oh, for heaven's sake.
BALTHAZAR: Morgana.
She was making preparations for The Rising,
something that would enable her to enslave mankind
by resurrecting dead Morganian sorcerers.
So, after the witch girl, there's another doll
that contains the greatest evil the world has ever known?
She's in the last doll.
And what does it have to do with this
Prime Merlinean?
Merlin had three apprentices.
I was one of them.
You were Merlin's apprentice?
He cast a spell to keep us from aging
until we found the sorcerer who would inherit his power.
And his dragon ring.
Some part of you, no matter how small,
must share the same blood.
As Merlin?
Great men have always been called.
This is your calling.
Merlin said,
"The only one who will ever be able to destroy Morgana once and for all
"is the Prime Merlinean."
So I'm supposed to save the world.
I... I just don't think I'm up for that.
Do you think I've been teaching you magic tricks
for some little girl's tea party?
When you stepped inside this circle, I told you there was no going back.
You took an oath!
I have been searching 1,000 years for you.
Fighting Morganians, protecting the Grimhold.
You're going to set me free.
You have to become the Prime Merlinean.
And I'm not asking.
I have a student who's failing my class. I need his file.
First I'll need to see your faculty identification card.
You don't need to see my faculty identification card.
I don't need your faculty identification card.
"These are not the droids you're looking for."
(LAUGHlNG)
Here it is. He has an unauthorized lab space.
(GROANlNG)
Okay, so, how will I know when I'm it?
The Prime Merlinean?
The Prime Merlinean will become so powerful within
he no longer needs his ring to cast magic.
When you can do that,
you're ready to take on Morgana.
Tank! What is he doing here anyway?
This should be good.
Schematic for a fusion spell.
The merging of two souls into one physical body.
I've only ever seen one sorcerer successfully pull off human fusion.
And Tank is here for...
Practice.
Are you telling me you're trying to possess Tank?
(FARTlNG)
Yeah. I'm not so sure it's the best idea, either.
No.
Oh, man.
Becky's coming now, and I'm standing in a puddle of pop.
I need to stop and clean.
We're not done training.
(EXHALlNG)
Balthazar, I've been waiting for 1 0 years to see this girl again.
Do you have any idea what that's like?
When I come back, you better be focused.
Ow.
This is really sticky.
I'm doomed.
This.
Thank you. Thank you.
I command you to stop!
Oh, no. Man.
(EXCLAlMlNG)
(KNOCKlNG AT DOOR)
Becky.
-Hi. -Hi. You're on time.
-You forgot? -No, no, no. I didn't forget.
-ls everything okay? -What, me?
How are you doing? (EXCLAlMlNG)
I'm good. I'm good.
Would you please stop that? Will you...
(EXCLAlMS)
It's probably best for you to leave.
What am I saying?
Okay. Okay, I will go.
Yeah, I'm sorry. I'm having issues.
My coils!
(EXCLAlMlNG)
Disperse!
You have abused the sacred art, and you have abused the Merlin Circle.
Magic isn't a game.
No shortcuts!
Falling in that water and getting electrocuted,
that's how a sorcerer loses his power!
What rule is that? Fourteen? Twenty-seven?
I can't even remember!
What difference does it make
if it's obvious that I can't even control a few mops?
The stronger the man, the stronger the sorcerer.
Thank you. Thank you for another useless motto!
I have another one for you.
You will not control your magic if you will not control yourself.
You need to stop your worrying and start believing in yourself.
Is that what you do?
-What I do isn't the point. -I think it is.
I'm convinced you exist purely to make my life a living hell.
You don't know anything about a living hell.
-You're making progress. -No, I'm not making progress.
No ring, right?
No magic. I can't move the chairs. I can't do it.
It's not me, Balthazar.
I'm sorry! I'm sorry.
I'm not it. I'm not a hero. I'm not the Prime Merlinean.
I'm just a physics nerd
who looks really, really stupid in these shoes.
Dave.
What are you doing here?
I saw you outside the coffee shop, so I followed you.
You looked a little more distressed than usual.
That bad, huh?
Did you really think that one botched date
was going to make me hate you forever?
Yeah.
I do have to ask you this one thing.
What are you doing up here?
Yeah.
A friend of mine brought me here once.
And the height doesn't bother you?
-Are you afraid of heights? -A little bit, yeah.
Trust me. Here, come on.
Come on. You're good.
-You're good. -I don't know.
(BECKY SlGHlNG)
Wow.
Yeah. Wow.
Do you remember when you drew King Kong on the bus window?
And he lined up with the Empire State Building?
You remember that?
It was cool.
You saw the world in your own way.
I was just trying to impress you.
Well, it worked. Not bad for a 1 0-year-old kid.
Yeah, right. What happened?
-What? What do you mean? -The bitter irony of the fact
that 1 0-year-old me is far cooler than 20-year-old me.
I think 20-year-old Dave is... He's all right.
Like, "all right" all right, or "all right!" all right?
(LAUGHlNG)
(SlGHS)
I think he is somewhere in the middle.
That's a diplomatic answer.
And thank you.
-Hey. -Hello.
I'm sorry.
I think you and I need to have a talk.
No apology necessary. Let us move on.
(WlTH ENGLlSH ACCENT) You're a diamond, mate.
HORVATH: Surprisingly well done.
Now go find the Grimhold.
You seem to have rather a soft spot for that boy.
Has Balthazar made a new friend?
I don't see the Grimhold.
That's because you're using your eyes.
Clever Balthazar.
Always up to his little tricks.
Found it.
It's lighter than I remember.
We once fought together, Maxim.
A lot's happened since those days.
-This isn't about that. -Oh, yes, it is, Balthazar.
It's always been about that.
Veronica chose you instead of me, the great Balthazar Blake,
my best friend.
Well, I'm going to let you watch me release Morgana.
Let you watch your world crumble into nothing!
HORVATH: Drake. Let's go.
-Nice catch. -I owed you one.
-They got the doll. -Let's get it back.
Hang on.
Hang on, Tank.
(CAR HORNS HONKlNG)
(EXCLAlMlNG)
Go left.
(CAR HORNS HONKlNG)
Whoa! What the...
BALTHAZAR: Horvath! He's in here somewhere.
Wait. He has the power to turn his car into a taxi?
Use your ring and lock in on the Grimhold.
-Remember, it moves with the ring. -Okay, yeah. Right, right, right.
(TAXl HORNS HONKlNG)
Go! Go!
Here they come!
Whoa!
What the heck!
(EXCLAlMS) Nice one!
-Hey! Well, look at that. -Hang on.
Oh, my God.
Take the tunnel.
(CAR HORNS HONKlNG)
What is that, smoke?
Oh, come on!
Time for a little revenge.
(EXCLAlMlNG)
-What the heck is this? -Yes, we drove through a mirror.
-We're trapped in a reverse world. -So...
It is, it is. Horvath's payback for the bathroom mirror.
No, no. We won't die as long as
-we get out of here soon. -Okay.
-By driving through our own reflection. -Fantastic.
-DAVE: There. In the window. -This is it.
(DAVE EXCLAlMlNG)
No, no, no, no, no. You're not...
-Here we go. -We're not going to make that!
We're not... (SCREAMlNG)
(SCREAMlNG)
Hello, Balthazar.
Oh, man. Oh, man.
No, no, no. Back up. Back up. Back up. Back up.
Oh, man.
I've got an idea. I've got an idea.
-Dave, don't. -Please just let me do it.
-What? -'73 Pinto? This is your idea?
No! No. My idea was to turn their car into a beater.
(MOANlNG)
-Finish it. -Right!
(EXCLAlMlNG)
I think he stopped.
DAVE: Hold on, Tank. Hold on, Tank. I got you, buddy.
MAN:...walked away.
Hey!
I'm sorry. I thought you were someone else.
Where's Horvath?
Did he get away?
Where's the Grimhold? Who was that?
That was her, wasn't it?
The third apprentice.
For centuries, Veronica, Horvath and l were the only thing standing
between Morgana and man's destruction.
Our friendship and our magic were what Veronica and I depended on.
You fell for her, didn't you?
I fell for her.
Like you, all Veronica wanted was to be normal.
Normal things, normal life.
I fell.
And so did Horvath.
That's why Horvath betrayed us.
For 1,000 years,
you've been carrying her around with you.
In the Grimhold.
I was going to give this to her that night.
I'm sorry.
Okay, Balthazar.
We are going to get Veronica out and destroy Morgana.
What's happened to you?
Nothing.
You're still a bad liar.
-Why does everyone... -You know, I am glad she likes you.
No, I am not surprised. Only glad.
There's nothing like it, is there?
Put your old man shoes back on.
We have some work to do.
HORVATH: Are all the satellite dishes in position?
All lined up.
I chipped my mani, which is not cool.
No, I imagine it's not.
Inside there lies our next coworker.
Abigail Williams, a little witch who put Salem on the map.
Once she's out, we're at the Morgana shell.
Now that's going to take a lot of time and energy to crack.
So what are we going to do?
Have you heard of the Parasite Spell?
(CHUCKLlNG)
Sorry, I forgot your education's somewhat lacking.
Yeah, I prefer to go more by instinct.
You know, what feels right.
Very good. Well, the Parasite Spell is a rather nasty piece of business.
It originated in Haiti, if memory serves.
It enables one sorcerer to steal the energy from another.
(GROANlNG)
Well, you weren't really using it, were you?
(SOFT MUSlC PLAYlNG)
Excuse me?
I'd like to make a request.
I just finished my show. But maybe next time, okay?
I said I'd like to make a request.
BALTHAZAR: All right.
When Morgana is released, no matter what happens,
promise me you'll do whatever it takes to destroy her.
I promise.
And for the record, you wear the old guy shoes very well.
My feet disagree with you, but thank you.
Knuckle bump.
Might as well.
Now that I have kidnapped the girl for you, is it time to release Morgana?
I'll give her your regards.
Mr. Horvath, have I done something wrong?
(CRACKLlNG)
HORVATH: Not at all.
I need your power to free Morgana. I just don't need you.
Well, that's two.
One more to go.
That's horrifying.
Let's just find the Grimhold and be done with it.
Battery Park. The Rising.
Persian Quickrug.
And he thinks I'm old-fashioned.
Ostentatious.
Ooh... Uh-huh.
Nothing, nothing.
So that's Morgana.
Veronica.
(WHlSPERlNG) Balthazar?
That was easy. Come on, Dave. You know the drill.
Give me what I want, and I'll let her go.
Dave, what is going on?
It's gonna be okay. You're gonna be okay.
HORVATH: No, she's not!
She's going to be ground up into chunks and fed to the cat
unless you give me Merlin's ring and the Grimhold.
Balthazar? He's busy admiring the decor.
So what's it going to be?
(EXHALlNG)
Here.
Take it.
-You're okay? -Merlin's ring.
It's been a while since I've been this close to it.
I wonder if it still works.
-You all right? -Yeah, I think so.
The Grimhold?
I see.
He took my ring.
He was gonna kill Becky.
I'm so sorry, Balthazar.
I would have done the same thing, Dave.
Where are you going?
Battery Park. Horvath's going to release Morgana.
Well, you can't take him on and Morgana at the same time. That's...
-You literally can't. -I have to try.
Well, then I'm going with you.
Without any magic?
He has your ring.
I'm going alone.
(BECKY EXCLAlMS)
DAVE: No, that's a normal thing for him.
No one knows how much time they have
to be with the people that are the most important.
Enjoy it.
(SHRlEKlNG)
That guy just flew away on an eagle!
-l... -A steel eagle.
Becky, I wanted to talk to you about this.
I just haven't known where to start.
I'm just happy you're okay.
Look, Dave. If you can just tell me the truth,
then I promise I will do my best to understand.
Okay. The first thing you should know about me is that I'm a sorcerer.
Okay.
I can conjure and shoot plasma bolts out of my hand.
I can speed time up, slow it down,
varying degrees of levitation. It's all very magical.
And I thought my last boyfriend was different 'cause he wore a scarf.
(SOFT MUSlC PLAYlNG)
(CELL PHONE RlNGlNG)
-Baby, I'll just come back. Okay? -Okay.
-I'll see you in a minute. -Okay. All right. I'm here.
Bad time, Dave.
Bennet. Thank God you answered.
I got a real emergency on my hands.
I need you to meet me at my lab right now!
-Becky, I got to let you out. -What? Let me out?
Okay.
I think I know how to defeat them without any magic.
How?
The rings on Horvath's cane.
He put them there to gain more power, but they make him a better conductor.
Dave, I have no idea what you're talking about.
All right, Rebecca, here it is.
Many evil sorcerers will be raised from the dead tonight.
So, basically, Morgana is trying to destroy the world as we know it.
Oh, just that.
This is really dangerous. I can't bring you into it.
Well, I think I'm already into it.
And besides, if you blow it, we're all gonna die anyway, right?
I want to come with you.
You're sexy.
-I got all the Tesla coil remotes. -Thanks, brother. I appreciate it.
Oh! I found this after we hung up.
It was on the desk.
"Give this to Veronica. Balthazar."
I don't think Balthazar's planning on coming back.
I don't know what you're into here, Dave,
but whatever it is, you are definitely participating!
Thank you, Bennet. I appreciate that. We should go.
HORVATH: Now is The Rising.
Now is the time.
Veronica.
It's me, Horvath. Morgana.
No need to look so pathetic.
Destroy that thing.
I never want to see it again.
I cannot raise the dead until the circle is complete.
(CHANTlNG lN FORElGN LANGUAGE)
-No way. Man alive! -What?
Are you telling me you honestly don't see that?
No. See what?
I think they're using the satellite dishes on the tops of the buildings
to direct and amplify the electromagnetic energy.
All right, we're pulling over. We're pulling over.
Becky, I need you to do me a favor.
I need you to go up to the very top of that thing.
Great.
You got to move that antenna and just disrupt the signal.
Okay. Right.
Hey, Becky.
Do you remember that letter I wrote when we were 1 0 years old?
Friend or girlfriend?
I never saw what you checked,
so in case I die tonight, could you please tell me?
Don't die and I'll tell you.
Oh, yeah, okay.
(MORGANA CONTlNUES CHANTlNG)
Balthazar.
-Enough of your old tricks, Balthazar. -As you wish.
Time was, things were pretty even between us, Balthazar.
As you can see,
I've acquired some new jewelry.
I'm coming, buddy. I'm coming. I'm coming.
All right, what... What is this? What am I looking at? No!
And a walker. Of course she has a...
BECKY: Okay.
Oh, boy.
A matador gored by a bull can take up to three days to die.
Sounds unpleasant, doesn't it?
HORVATH: The circle is nearly complete.
It must be awful, Balthazar.
All these years, fighting to stop this one moment
and then coming up short.
(CAR APPROACHlNG)
That's my car.
(EXCLAlMlNG)
Oh!
Thank you!
We're too late.
Veronica.
Is she...
They're both still with us.
(GASPlNG)
(MORGANA SHRlEKlNG)
Balthazar, what have you done?
What you did for me.
-Remember your promise. -VERONlCA: Balthazar, no.
You'll do whatever it takes to destroy Morgana.
No. No, I can't. I won't lock you in this thing.
VERONlCA: Neither will l.
(AS MORGANA) How sweet.
(GROANlNG)
Oh, man.
-And now we end this. -No!
No way.
No ring.
It is you.
The Prime Merlinean!
Fools!
Veronica!
(VERONlCA EXCLAlMS)
Now it's my turn.
Is that the best that you can do?
I sure hope not.
And now it's my turn.
(GROANlNG)
Come on.
Climb.
You have Merlin's powers,
but you don't have his strength or his skill.
You are still weak.
But I'm not alone.
I brought a little science with me. Now!
(GASPlNG)
(SCREAMlNG)
I did it! Balthazar, I actually did it!
He's gone.
He completed his quest.
No, no, no, no. It's not over. He can't die.
I just... Not now.
Come on.
That's not good enough.
Veronica, would you please step back?
If Morgana can stop his heart, maybe I can start it.
All right, here we go, bud. Here we go. Listen.
You... You with all your stupid rules!
And all those old man shoes.
And your constantly saving me with that look in your eyes.
Come on!
Come on.
I had a dream.
You were insulting me, Dave. Repeatedly.
Me? That's pretty weird, huh?
No, kind of makes sense.
Yeah.
-Thank you. -Welcome back, old man.
VERONlCA: You're here.
Dave!
-You did it! -I know. And I'm still alive.
And, surprisingly, so am l.
I know. Oh, the note. Right.
-Friend or girlfriend? -I don't care.
Girlfriend. Definitely girlfriend.
Would you like to have breakfast with me? In France?
France?
(EXCLAlMS)
Yeah, I got us a ride.
Okay, you're fun.
DAVE: Becky, there's something I forgot to mention to you.
I really have no idea how to land this thing.
(BECKY LAUGHlNG)
