GMGeoffrey of Monmouth
By the power invested in me, I crown thee, Morgana Pendragon, Queen of Camelot.
S3 E12The Coming of Arthur (Part One)
S3 E13The Coming of Arthur (Part Two)
Merlin, for once, leave me in peace. Please.
I understand. Your father lied to you about Morgana - I don't know why, I'm sure he had his reasons - but now is not the time for that. He is still your father. He needs you. Camelot needs you.
I've known her all my life. How could she do this to us?
I can't answer that. But you have a duty to your father, to your people... You can't give up on them now.
We cannot defeat an immortal army.
We don't know until we try.
Here. Come and join me. [Everyone stops what they are doing and sits down around the Round Table.] This table belonged to the Ancient Kings of Camelot. The Round Table afforded no one man more importance than the other. They believed in equality above all things, so it seems fitting that we revive this tradition now. Without each of you, we would not be here. My father has languished in prison too long. Tomorrow, I make my bit to rescue him. Are there any around this round table who will join me?"
[Lancelot rises] You taught me the values of being a Knight, the code by which a man should live his life, to fight with honour, for justice, freedom, and all that's good. I believe in the world you will build.
Even though I was a commoner and a nobody, you were willing to lay down your life for me, Arthur. It is now my time to repay you.
have fought alongside you many times. There is no other person I would rather die for.
I think we've no chance- but I wouldn't miss it for the world.
PPercival
Your enemies are my enemies.
If you need an old man...
You know the answer.
Merlin?
No, I don't really fancy it.
You don't have a choice, Merlin.
[Stands up, smiles at Arthur, and nods.]
I want to thank you all for staying with me in Camelot's hour of need. I'll do something my father wouldn't approve of. [He knights Lancelot, Gwaine, Percival, and Elyan.]
Tomorrow when you fight, you can stand proud, knowing you are members of the most noble army the world has ever known.
What are you planning? And don't even think about lying--I know you too well.
It's too difficult to explain.
Tell me.
Morgana has the Cup of Life. If I can find it and empty the blood within it, the army will be destroyed and Morgana will be powerless.
Aren't you forgetting something? It's guarded by an immortal army.
Aren't you forgetting something- I have magic.
Doesn't make you immortal.
No.
You know Merlin, you're the one Arthur should knight. You're the bravest of them all and he doesn't even know it.
[Looking at Freya's image in the waters of Avalon.] No.... Freya?
I missed you.
No-
Merlin, we don't have long.
Is it really you?
[Nods slightly and smiles] I swore that one day I would repay you. Now is the moment.
Gwaine? Are you alive?
[From inside the tunnel] What do you think? [The knights smile, relieved and Gwaine steps out of the tunnel] And that's Sir Gwaine to you.
S4 E1The Darkest Hour (Part One)
I do not belong to this world. There is nothing left for me here, now. Please, sister, let my parting be my final gift to you.
[About Uther]
It's been a year since Morgana betrayed him. His heart is broken and his spirit is gone. Are you joining us for the feast tonight?
I don't think so. I need to stay with the King.
You're very good to him, Gwen.
I don't do it for him. I do it for Arthur.
CThe Cailleach
I am the Cailleach, the Gate Keeper to the Spirit World. You have torn the veil between the worlds. [A Dorocha screams from the tear in the worlds behind the Calilleach]. The Dorocha- they are the voices of the Dead, my child. Like the Dead, they are numberless. You are right to be afraid, Morgana, your enemies will woe this day and all the destruction it brings, but you must be prepared. Tearing the veil between these two worlds has created a new world, and you will not walk through it alone. The one they call Emrys will walk in your shadow. He is your destiny and he is your doom.
Will you grant me a favour?
Anything.
Look after him. Bring him home.
I will protect him with my life. You have my promise.
Thank you.
Merlin, do you need your comfort blanket?
What do you mean?
You're making me edgy.
[Horse whinnies]
That's a horse.
Maybe it sensed something.
Yes, that you're a clotpole.
That's my word.
Yeah, and it suits you perfectly.
You're not scared?
Oh, I am, Merlin. Maybe more than you.
It's my destiny to protect Arthur.
How? Your magic is powerless against the Dorocha.
Then I must sacrifice myself in his place.
No.
My life has been marked out by destiny. If this is meant to be... I'm not afraid. I will gladly die, Gaius, knowing that one day... Albion will live.
[They hug.]
[About the Dorocha]
We are literally chasing shadows.
My magic is useless against them. I've tried. I've never felt so powerless. Something deep inside... and when it came for me, I felt this emptiness... I couldn't breathe. I'm scared.
Merlin. It's all right. It's not your fault.
