Merlin Season 5 Episode 6

Sir Leon: (About Tom, Gwen and Elyan's father) I think he'd be proud.
Gwen: Particularly of Elyan.
Sir Elyan: Me?
Gwen: Not just because you're a knight, but because of the man you've become.
Sir Elyan: I don't think so.
Sir Percival: She's right.
Sir Gwaine: Absolutely.

Sir Gwaine: You're outstanding, especially when it comes to trying to sweet-talk the ladies, if nothing else.
Sir Elyan: Don't listen to him.
Sir Percival: No. Elyan loves only one woman.
Gwen: Who?
Sir Elyan: You.
Gwen: Tell me, I'm your sister.
Sir Gwaine: Did Arthur not say?
Gwen: Arthur never tells me anything.
Sir Elyan: But he told you who Gwaine's in love with?
Gwen: Himself?
(All laugh)

Morgana: (After knocking Gwen off her horse using magic) Sleep, my lady... for it could be some time before you do so again.

Arthur: What happened?
Sir Elyan: We were riding, we came upon a nest of snakes.
Arthur: (Looks around the room) Where's Guinevere? (No one speaks) Where is she?
Sir Elyan: I told her to get away. She fled.
(Arthur looks to Elyan and Gwaine and leaves. Merlin follows him)
Merlin: Arthur?
Arthur: We ride at dawn.

Gaius: This is no accident.
Merlin: Sorcery?
Gaius: There is dark magic coursing through their veins. By any right, they should be dead.
Merlin: Then they were lucky.
Gaius: I fear there's more to it than luck.

Arthur: I lost Guinevere once before.
Merlin: You're not going to lose her. You're not. We will find her. I swear. We'll bring her home (Merlin holds his arm out and Arthur joins him in an arm shake)

Gwen: What do you want with me?
Morgana: I thought we could play a little game.
Gwen: A game?
Morgana: To find out just how much Arthur loves you.
Gwen: It won't work.
Morgana: You underestimate his feelings.
Gwen: He's not stupid.
Morgana: We'll see.
Gwen: He'll know you've taken me, he'll know it's a trap.
Morgana: He will, but he'll still come.

Gwen: I don't want anything from you.
Morgana: Just my crown (Offers her a skin of water) Drink it, you may need it.
Gwen: Why?
Morgana: I wouldn't be in such a hurry to know (Lets the water drop to the ground)

Arthur: (Arthur wants to press on searching for Gwen after dark) She can't be far.
Merlin: I know. But we have to work together. We'll make camp, I'll get a fire going. In the morning we'll pick up her trail again. Come on.

Sir Elyan: If I'd stayed with her...
Arthur: You saved Percival, you saved Leon.
Sir Elyan: But not my own sister.
Arthur: We can all blame ourselves.
Sir Elyan: She raised me. You wouldn't understand.
Arthur: I do.
Sir Elyan: I don't know... what I'd be if it wasn't for her. I can't explain.
Arthur: You don't have to.

Sir Leon: (About a dream he's had) A tower so dark it could swallow the sun.
Arthur: The Dark Tower. It's a place where every young knight is taught to dread, and rightly so. It's where many have met their end.
Merlin: I've never heard of it.
Arthur: With good reason. It's said that the mere mention of it can bring doom to any of those who hear it.

Sir Gwaine: I was having a dream about eating a cheese that tasted of apple pie. Anyone else have that dream? (He laughs) You're all missing out.

(Sir Leon and Sir Percival have both had the same nightmare)
Arthur: Why would they both have that dream?
Merlin: The poison. It must still be coursing through their veins.
Arthur: But the same dream?
Merlin: Arthur, Morgana conjured those snakes. Leon and Percival would be dead if that was what she wanted.
Arthur: So what are you saying?
Merlin: She planted those visions in their minds. It's a trap. She's luring you to your doom.
Arthur: The Tower. That's where she's taken Guinevere.

Arthur: I've decided to journey to the Dark Tower. It's my belief that Guinevere has been imprisoned there. I don't know what horrors will be waiting, so I'll travel alone.
Sir Elyan: No.
Arthur: I'm sorry, I've made my decision.
Sir Elyan: You can't stop me, Arthur. She's my sister.
Sir Percival: Nor me, Arthur, she's our queen.
Sir Leon: And our friend.
Sir Gwaine: She's a maiden in a tower. A damsel in distress. I was born for this moment.
Arthur: You can turn back, Merlin.
Merlin: I made you a promise, remember?

Arthur: The Dark Tower.
Sir Gwaine: How do we get to it?
Arthur: Through the Impenetrable Forest.
Merlin: But it's...
Sir Gwaine: ... impenetrable.
Merlin: Exactly. We can't possibly get through that.
Arthur: We must.

Arthur: We have gone round... in a circle. We have wasted an entire day!
Sir Leon: Let's make camp for the night. Get some rest and think afresh in the morning.
Merlin: (To Arthur) I made you a promise. Remember? We will bring her home.

Gwen: I don't know what cruel trick you're playing but I will not be broken by you.
Morgana: I thought this would be nice. I know how lonely you must be, all by yourself in that room. At least you're not shackled... and there's daylight. You can move, you can see...
Gwen: You expect me to be grateful?
Morgana: I too have suffered, Gwen. I spent two years living in darkness. Spent two years chained to a wall at the bottom of a pit. You did not know.
Gwen: (Gwen shakes her head)
Morgana: I would have sold my soul for someone to show me kindness such as this.

Queen Mab: You have a mind's eye, Emrys, you must learn to trust in it for far greater challenges lie ahead.
Merlin: When we reach the Dark Tower?
Queen Mab: If.

Queen Mab: You must beware, Emrys. The Tower is not a real place. It is the heart's rest, the mind's deepest fear, the stillness in the hummingbird's eye.
Merlin: Stop talking in riddles.
Queen Mab: Then I shall talk in rhyme. Heed my words with due concern, for one of you will not return.

Merlin: We need to head North.
Arthur: And which way is that, Merlin?
Merlin: That way.
Arthur: No, it's... (He can tell by the sun that Merlin is right) ..over there. How on earth would you know that?
Merlin: Sense of smell. When the wind is from the North, you can smell the sea.
Arthur: That's ridiculous.
Merlin: Trust me. Just this once.

Gwen: Why are you doing this?
Morgana: Because we're friends, we always were.
Gwen: Leave me alone.
Morgana: Gwen?
Gwen: What are you trying to do to me?
Morgana: I'm helping you. I'm looking after you. I want nothing from you. Well, if you change your mind, let me know.

Gwen: Don't look. You'll be all right. Don't look. You'll be all right (Sobs) Don't look. Don't look. You'll be all right.

(Gwen is having an illusion)
Arthur: Guinevere?
Gwen: Oh, Arthur! No. I know it's not you. I know it's not you. I know it's not you. I know it's not you.
Arthur: Guinevere... look at me.
Gwen: I know it's not you.
Arthur: Please.
Gwen: I know it's not you.
Arthur: It's me. It's Arthur.
Gwen: I know it's not you.
Arthur: See? It's me. It's Arthur. You're safe now (He laughs mockingly)
(Gwen screams)

(Gwen is sobbing after having had a distressful vision)
Morgana: It's all right. It's all right. I'm here. I'm here. My darling, I was wrong to make you suffer. The mandrake root is cruel. It pierces the depths of your soul, twisting your unconscious into the very image of fear and dread. Gwen, you've been so courageous, but it was necessary. Gwen, you're not alone now. You need never be alone again. I am the only one you can trust. I am all you have left in the world. The others taunt you, hate you. Come... you need some rest, some proper rest.
Gwen: No! Whatever twisted game you're playing, I want no part in it. I would rather stay here and die.

Merlin: Something's wrong. It's too easy.
Arthur: Are you ever happy?

Sir Elyan: I'll go first. I'll push on.
Arthur: No, Elyan!
Sir Elyan: None of us would even be here if it wasn't for me. I have to do this.

(A magical sword is preventing Elyan from freeing Gwen)
Gwen: It will not let you pass. Morgana has enchanted it to protect me. You can't free me, Elyan. Leave me here. Please.
Sir Elyan: No!
Gwen: You cannot overcome it. It will fight to the death!

Sir Elyan: (Mortally wounded after fighting to free his sister) For a moment... I didn't think I was going to win.
Gwen: Father would be proud of you.
Sir Elyan: And of you. So proud (He dies)

Merlin: I was warned one of us would not return.
Gaius: It's not your fault, Merlin.
Merlin: Elyan is dead.
Gaius: The sword that Elyan fell prey to was surely intended for Arthur. Now he's safe and so is Gwen.
