You mentioned, you spoke of Ealdor. You took refuge with a woman.
That was a long time ago.
I grew up there.
Ealdor?
Yes. I know the woman.
Hunith? She's still alive?
Yes, she’s my mother.
She married. That’s good.
She never married. I'm your son.
I don’t know what it is to have a son.
Or I a father.
Merlin, if I die, please..
What?
The dragonlord today. I saw you. [pause] One thing I tell all my young knights - no man is worth your tears.
Yeah. You're certainly not.
Are you really going to face this dragon with me?
I'm not gonna sit here and watch. I know it's hard for you to understand how I feel, but... I care a hell of a lot about that armour. I'm not gonna let you mess it up.
You shouldn't have risked your life.
I wasn't going to let anything happen to you.
There is a place called Ealdor.
Yes.
I had a life there. A woman... A good woman. Ealdor is beyond Uther's realm but still he pursued me. Why would he not let me be? What was it that I had done, that he wanted to destroy the life I'd built, abandon the woman I loved? He sent Knights to kill me. I was forced to come here... to this. So... I understand how Kilgharrah feels. He's lost every one of his kind, every one of his kin. You want to know how that feels? Look around, boy. Let Uther die. Let Camelot fall.
You want everyone in Camelot to die?
Why should I care?
What if one of them was your son?
I don't have a son.
And if I told you...
Merlin... Merlin... [coughs]
When you face the Dragon... remember... be strong. A dragon's heart is on its right side, not its left.
I can't do it alone.
Listen to me. You are my son. I've seen enough in you to know you will make me proud.
I felt him there with me, Gaius.
He will always be with you.
I hope so.
Merlin, I know I can never compare with your father, but for what it's worth... you've still got me.
Well, I suppose I'll just have to make do.
You're a riddle, Merlin.
A riddle?
Yes, but I've grown to quite like you.
(picks up a sword)
What are you doing?
I'm coming with you.
Merlin, chances are I'm going to die.
Yeah, yeah, you probably would if I wasn't there.
Right.
Do you know how many times I've had to save your royal backside?
Well, at least you've got your sense of humour back.
