Remind me again why we're wearing this disgusting paste?
Wilddeoren are completely blind. They rely totally on their sense of smell. Gaia berries will mask our scent.
What are the chances of us not seeing a wilddeoren?
None.
S4 E2The Darkest Hour (Part Two)
[Confused at Merlin's recovery] You're meant to be... dying.
Sorry.
AAgravaine
[about Guinevere] She's a servant. A spirited one perhaps, but a servant nonetheless.
No, you're wrong. I have dreamt the future, and in it, that 'servant' sits upon my throne. I would rather drown in my own blood than see that day.
AAgravaine
Then we must make sure it never comes.
I couldn't agree more. We must make sure she never sees another dawn.
Do you know what we're going to face on the Isle of the Blessed?
[Arthur nods]
Do you want to tell me?
The burden is mine and mine to bear alone.
Look around, Arthur. We would fight 1,000 armies with our bare hands for you. You are never alone. We stand together. Come on, I'll take over. You need some rest.
[Passes him the torch] Thank you.
You don't have to continue on this journey with me, you know?
[Chuckles] Try and stop me.
Why? Because you're a knight, you feel honour-bound?
You wouldn't understand. It doesn't make any sense to me either.
Gwen?
I made her a vow I would keep Arthur safe.
You don't have to worry. I'll keep him safe.
[About Gwen] You still think about her?
No. Arthur's a better man than me.
I'm sorry.
Why? He loves her... and she's happy.
[To Merlin] Who is your friend?
I am Lancelot.
Of course, Sir Lancelot. The bravest and most noble of them all.
I'm not sure that is true.
We shall see.
Arthur intends to sacrifice himself to heal the veil. It is my destiny is to protect him, you taught me that.
Merlin, you must not do this.
I have no choice. I must take his place.
From the moment I met you, I saw something that was invisible. Now it is there for all to see.
A lot of what you see, old friend... is what you taught me.
It will be an empty world without you, young warlock.
When we get to the Isle of the Blessed, do you really intend to sacrifice yourself?
What do you want me to say?
I look at you and I wonder about myself. Could I knowingly give up my life for something?
You have to have a reason. Something you care about. Something that's more important than anything.
[Gwaine takes off his boots and socks]
[Gagging] Has something died?
Why am I always the butt?
Can't think.
[Sir Elyan and Sir Leon get up and sit down on the other side of the fire with Arthur and Sir Percival]
Pick on Percival.
PSir Percival
Why me?
He washes.
[Gesturing to where Sir Gwaine's sock has caught fire] And he doesn't set fire to his socks.
[Grabbing the sock and trying to extinguish the flame] Ah, no!
Lancelot? How's Merlin?
Bad news... [Sighs deeply] He's still alive.
[Merlin shows up behind him. Arthur laughs, relieved, Merlin smiles too]
Merlin!
[The knights welcome Merlin and Sir Lancelot]
[Puts his hand on Merlin's shoulder] Good to see you, Merlin.
Yeah, good to see you too.
It's going to be fine. Everything will be all right.
I'm just tired.
You don't have to sacrifice yourself.
I have to save my people.
I will take your place.
Merlin...
What is the life of a servant, compared to that of a prince?
A good servant's hard to come by.
I'm not that good.
True.
Look after Guinevere. I want her to be happy in her life. She deserves that.
Don't worry. I'll make sure.
CThe Cailleach
So, Emrys, you choose to challenge me after all. Will you give yourself to the spirits to save your prince?
It is my destiny.
CThe Cailleach
Perhaps. But your time among men is not yet over, Emrys, even if you want it to be.
[Lancelot walks towards the veil, looks back at Merlin and smiles. The Dorocha scream. Lancelot turns around and walks through the veil.]
No! No! No!
[Before Sir Lancelot's funeral pyre'] I want to pay tribute to Sir Lancelot. We owe him a great debt. But it is not just his deeds that we will never forget. It is his courage, his compassion, his unselfish heart. He was the most noble knight I will ever know. He gave his life for all of us.
