Balinor quotes from Merlin

Merlin

You mentioned, you spoke of Ealdor. You took refuge with a woman.

Balinor

That was a long time ago.

Merlin

I grew up there.

Balinor

Ealdor?

Merlin

Yes. I know the woman.

Balinor

Hunith? She's still alive?

Merlin

Yes, she’s my mother.

Balinor

She married. That’s good.

Merlin

She never married. I'm your son.

Balinor

I don’t know what it is to have a son.

Merlin

Or I a father.

Balinor

There is a place called Ealdor.

Merlin

Yes.

Balinor

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.

Merlin

You want everyone in Camelot to die?

Balinor

Why should I care?

Merlin

What if one of them was your son?

Balinor

I don't have a son.

Merlin

And if I told you...

Arthur

Merlin... Merlin... [coughs]

Balinor

When you face the Dragon... remember... be strong. A dragon's heart is on its right side, not its left.

Merlin

I can't do it alone.

Balinor

Listen to me. You are my son. I've seen enough in you to know you will make me proud.
