After Eggsy was able to do so, Merlin reunited with Harry. He later went to a bar where he and Eggsy gave him some new gear and found that Harry was still dealing with some after affects of his memory being restored. After Eggsy informed that Whiskey had been shot by Harry, Merlin thought that it was also an after affect and tried to question him of his memory. When he, Harry and Eggsy led the final fight towards Poppy Adams, he equipped Eggsy with a weaponised brief case, Harry with a new weaponised umbrella and himself with a machete. After Merlin tried to break into what he thought was the entrance to the base, the two were discovered by Tequila, a member of Statesman (Kingsman's American counterpart), who questioned them.
On September 6, 1980, at the invitation of West Virginia Governor Jay Rockefeller, songwriters Danoff, Nivert, and Denver performed the song during pregame festivities to a sold-out crowd of Mountaineer fans. This performance marked the dedication of the current West Virginia University Mountaineer Field and the first game for head coach Don Nehlen. When they finished, on the morning of Wednesday, December 30, 1970, Denver announced that the song had to go on his next album. Later that night, during Denver's first set, Denver called his two collaborators back to the spotlight, where the trio changed their career trajectories, reading the lyrics from a single, handheld, unfolded piece of paper. According to Len Jaffe, a Washington, D.C.-based singer-songwriter who attended the show where Denver premiered the song, this resulted in a five-minute standing ovation.

In fact this song was dropped during an era in which many Americans, even if they were city dwellers, could still recall their rural roots. For not being a full-fledged Kingsman agent, Merlin is still very adept in combat and proficient with weapons. Merlin witnessed Harry going undercover at the South Glade Mission Church and was shocked when the latter began killing the people in the church and then was supposedly killed by Richmond Valentine. After Eggsy told Merlin and Roxy about texts Arthur was getting, he and Eggsy headed to Valentine's headquarters via a Kingsman Jet while Roxy took out one of Valentine's satellites. Merlin tried to hack into Valentine's systems, only to find that Valentine had a biometric scanner. After he got Eggsy away from Valentine's guards and then equipped Eggsy to fight him, he and Merlin both ended up being surrounded by Valentine's forces.
Eggsy tried to tell him the truth that they were from Kingsman, but Tequila refused to believe them and knocked them unconscious. Tequila later had the two tied up, still interrogating them and accused them of pulling off a rescue mission, revealing Harry was still alive. After Ginger Ale revealed the two were telling the truth, Tequila apologised and welcomed them to Stateman.

Merlin's real name is Hamish, as he'd told Ginger Ale in the novelisation of the second movie. Merlin seems to have a liking towards country music, as the song he sung as a distraction before he died, was "Take Me Home, Country Roads" and his favourite singer is John Denver. "Olivia Newton-John | full Official Chart History | Official Charts Company". The verses and chorus were still missing a bridge, so the three of them went about finishing. Spank’s version was featured in the 2018 video game “Fallout 76”.
This led Merlin to being forced into activating all of the implants Valentine had put into his supporters, causing their heads to explode. After Eggsy stopped Valentine, Merlin saw him head to Princess Tilde's cell and get into bed with her. 17 years later, Merlin, Harry and the other members of Kingsman were tasked with finding a replacement Lancelot when Spencer was killed during a failed rescue mission of Professor James Arnold in Argentina.

In March 2014, it became one of the four official state anthems of West Virginia.
@Mast Certainly not, Fallout 76 is set in West Virginia and Country Roads is one of the official state songs. For decades prior, it was the unofficial state song. That's the same reason it's in Logan Lucky (well, it's more of a joke that it'd be someone from WV's actual favorite song just because of how much it is already played). It is pretty much ubiquitous, played at sporting events more than the national anthem. In 1997, Merlin along with Galahad was on a training mission in the Middle East with trainees Lee Unwin and James Spencer. While they were holding a soldier captive for information, he pulled a grenade pin and Lee sacrificed himself by jumping onto the soldier, covering the explosion, and saving his surrounding team.
As for certifications, it has achieved platinum status in both the US and UK. Since the time this track was dropped over half a century ago, of course West Virginia has been urbanized/modernized accordingly. But it still houses enough scenic beauty, including this being the state in which the Appalachian Mountain range is concentrated.
Released as an iTunes-only single on July 4, 2018, the song reached No. 1 on the iTunes singles chart. It debuted at No. 41 on Billboard's Hot Country Songs chart that week and at No. 21 on Billboard's Country Digital Songs the following week. The official YouTube upload of the original John Denver recording, initially uploaded in 2013, would later edit its description in response to the song's use for the game. In Australia, a promotional Fallout 76 vinyl featuring the cover was included with the December 2018 issue of STACK Magazine exclusively from retailer JB Hi-Fi. Dutch pop band Hermes House Band covered the song and released it as "Country Roads". This version was first released in Germany on May 21, 2001, and was issued in the United Kingdom on December 3, 2001, where it was a contender for the 2001 Christmas number-one single.
Merlin oversaw the training of the candidates so that one of them might become Lancelot. The tests included filling the sleeping quarters of the trainees with water and seeing their reaction , a written test, a sky diving test and a test of faith to Kingsman. Through the training, only Eggsy and Roxy were left. As part of one of the tests, he sent Eggsy to see Arthur while Merlin himself had Roxy. Merlin told Roxy to shoot her dog, which she did and got her the position of Lancelot. On the soundtrack it's called "No Time for Emotion", for anyone trying to find it.
