The Sorcerer's Apprentice
The war
between sorcerers
was fought in the shadows of history
and the fate of mankind rested with
the just and powerful Merlin.
He taught his secrets
Balthazar, Veronica, and Horvath.
He should have trusted only two.
Veronica and Balthazar
witnessed the savagery
Morgana le Fay,
Merlin's most deadly enemy.
We are but servants.
- Merlin.
- Horvath!
You betray me?
I am no one's servant.
Well done. Now get the spell.
And so it was. Morgana
gained sorcery's most dangerous spell
known as "The Rising,"
giving Morgana the power
to raise an army of the dead
and enslave mankind.
Veronica sacrificed herself
for Balthazar
by drawing Morgana's soul
into her own body.
from the inside.
To save Veronica's life
and to capture Morgana,
Balthazar trapped them both
in the Grimhold,
an inescapable prison.
Over time,
Balthazar fought many sorcerers
who tried to free Morgana,
trapping them in layer upon layer
of the doll.
Eventually, he captured
Horvath as well.
As Merlin lay dying,
he gave Balthazar his dragon ring,
saying it would guide him to the child
who would one day grow
to be Merlin's successor,
the Prime Merlinean.
The Prime Merlinean is the only one
who can kill Morgana.
Balthazar would search for centuries.
And never, it is said,
will Balthazar waver from his quest,
for mankind will never be safe
until Morgana is destroyed
by the Prime Merlinean.
Hey, Tank.
How did you even get up here?
David? Field trip today.
Don't forget to wear clean underwear.
She means me, not you.
You're not supposed to be
doing that, Dave.
Now!
David.
That's cool.
...which means that before Ellis Island
and the Statue of Liberty were built...
Pass it to Becky.
Pass it on.
Pass it on.
Pass it to Becky.
Here.
Let's go.
Get on the ferry. Get your bags.
Stay close. Here we go.
Hey, stop!
Excuse me, excuse me.
No!
No, lady, don't!
No way.
The second emperor
of the Han dynasty
locked his least-favorite wife
in this urn for 10 years to the day.
They say you open it up,
the same thing will happen to you.
I'm sorry. I'm looking for this note.
Have you seen it?
It kind of just blew into your store.
A note?
It blew into your store.
It was just a...
Coincidence.
Yeah, it was just a coincidence.
I have something
I'd like to show you, Dave.
- How'd you know my name was Dave?
- 'Cause I can read minds!
It's on your backpack.
Come over here.
This is very special
and if it likes you, you can keep it.
I couldn't be gone for long.
She knows I'm here.
You're a bad liar, Dave.
That's good.
Oh, boy.
No way.
I have been searching a very long time.
Magically, here you are.
That ring on your finger
means something, Dave.
It means
you're going to be
a very important sorcerer one day.
And your first lesson begins right now
with your very own Encantus.
Do not move, do not touch anything.
No way.
When am I?
New York City.
Not where. The year.
You are wasting my time.
What happened
to "don't touch anything"?
That's not very sporting of you,
Balthazar.
Be quiet.
It's not you. He's been like this
for 1,000 years. I'll explain later.
I need the Grimhold. Where's that doll?
I'll have that doll.
I want that doll.
Leave, Dave! Leave now!
David Stutler! Don't ever leave your...
There's these crazy wizard guys
in there!
They're made of roaches!
No! Don't go in there!
The store's on fire! Don't go in!
Those guys are
crazy.
You really shouldn't
tell stories. Let's go.
Ew! He peed his pants!
A jar broke. It's just water!
There was a fire!
Yeah, Stutler had a leak.
He's such a geek.
Good morning. What is that? Oh, right.
Good morning, beautiful.
Hey, heads up.
Oh.
Happy birthday.
Thank you, Bennet.
You're up early.
Professor Heiderman wants me to give
a presentation to his Physics 101 class.
What? Teaching long division
to English majors?
I know. It's like the Peace Corps,
but it's Heiderman's class.
Hey, Bio nerds
And we invited cheerleaders
from Princeton.
Oh. So there's smart cheerleaders.
So, seriously, you're saying you don't
want to go out on your birthday?
I got to finish my Tesla coil project
if I want to graduate.
Dave, are you familiar
with the gray wolf?
Oh, no, please, Bennet. Not this again
with the gray wolf. I can't...
The gray wolf is a pack animal.
He must find a mate.
He must hunt and grunt.
He must participate.
You're going to get
booted out of the pack!
Alone. Eaten by a hungry bear.
That's a real pick-me-up pep talk,
and I'm ready to go get the day.
No, no.
Oh, man.
Everything okay down there?
I should just leave, right?
Right.
Wait. I'm sorry. Becky?
Becky Barnes.
Dave!
We were in fourth grade together.
I do know you. Dave Stutler.
- Right?
- That's me.
Yeah. You're that kid.
What was that place called?
- Arcana...
- Arcana Cabana?
Yeah.
- So, did you transfer?
- Yeah, I did.
And got some help. Treatment.
Yes, that was weird.
You know what? It turns out
it's just a glucose imbalance.
Hallucinations?
- Not uncommon in young subjects.
- Ah...
Right.
It's a great anecdote.
Hey, Becky.
Becky? Hey, Becky?
So how are you enjoying Physics 101?
My brain
just does not think physics.
So, what does it think, then?
Music, mostly.
So, this is me.
You work at the radio station?
Yeah, I do an afternoon show.
Are you kidding me? That's so cool!
It's just college radio.
Like, seven people listen to it.
I'll be listening. That's one more.
You can round it up to eight.
I think that's our antenna!
- What's going on?
Hey, gorgeous.
Sorry to bother you.
Where does your engineer
keep his equipment?
Who's this guy?
So, the good news is
you're still transmitting.
The bad news is
your return loss, way too high.
All right, if I know what I'm doing,
we should be good!
Yes!
- Thank you.
- No, please, it was my pleasure.
I could tell
this is all pretty important for you.
My show is the one thing that...
Well, you know.
Mmm-hmm.
Physics. That's my thing.
I'll see you around.
You didn't ask her out!
You just fixed her antenna and you left.
That's not the point.
She will remember me.
"She will remember me"?
Who are you? Braveheart?
Bennet, I blew my shot
at getting this girl 10 years ago.
I can't do it again.
Now get out of here
before you get electrocuted.
... and it's
a miracle we made it on the air tonight.
This show may not matter,
but the music does.
This is Becky Barnes, WNYU Radio,
hoping there's music all around you.
I don't understand. Why did you have
to buy this piece of junk?
Junk? It's an antique!
Antique? It's a piece of junk
from a flea market!
Am I the first one out?
That's a yes.
Our 10 years are up, Balthazar.
When I get the Grimhold
from young David,
I'll tell him you said hello.
