It is your fate to be the greatest King Camelot has ever known, and your victory today will be remembered for every age until the end of time.
There are times, Merlin, when you display a sort of - I don't know what it is. I want to say- it's not wisdom. But yes, that's what it is. Don't look so pleased, the rest of the time you look like a complete idiot.
[about Morgana] She is the darkness to your light, the hatred to your love.
You should have more faith in yourself.
What are the people saying?
They are glad you have taken charge.
I've committed them to a siege. There are going to be casualties, Gwen.
I trust you Arthur, more than Uther, more than any man. Worry is not a wise council. Forget everything else. You have to do what you believe is right.
Look at what you've got.
What?-
You... and me.
Merlin, what exactly are you going to do?
I'm going to be at your side - like I always am, protecting you.
God help me.
You should leave now while you still can.
Morgana, please, I'm begging you. Women and children are dying. The city will fall.
Good.
No, you don't mean that.
I have magic, Merlin. Uther hates me and everyone like me. Why should I feel any differently about him?
You of all people could change Uther's mind. Doing this, using magic like this, will only harden his heart.
You don't have magic, Merlin! How can you hope to understand?
I do understand, believe me. If I had your gifts I would harness them for good- that's what magic is [for;] that's why you were born with these powers.
You don't know what it's like to be an outsider! To be ashamed of how you were born; to hide who you are. Do you think I deserve to be executed because of who I am?
No. This doesn't have to be like this. We could find another way.
There is no other way.
[Merlin attempts to get the rod, but Morgana protects it and they start sword fighting]
What are you going to do? Kill me?
You don't think I can?
Then, if you're going to do it, make it quick.
