Merlin Season 4 Episode 13

Arthur: Which way now? I thought you said you grew up in these tunnels!
Merlin: I did! It's just it could be that way.
Arthur: Or it could be that way.
Merlin: Yes.
Arthur: That's very reassuring.

Tristan: You know Arthur?
Gwen: I was a servant in Camelot.
Tristan: To Arthur?
Gwen: No.
Tristan: So why are you here?
Gwen: He's my King.
Tristan: Can't say I've detected many kingly qualities so far.
Gwen: Well, maybe you don't know him.

Tristan: It won't take long for them to catch us.
Merlin: I'll go back.
Arthur: What are you going to do?
Merlin: Create a diversion.
Arthur: That's too risky.
Merlin: I know these tunnels, Agravaine doesn't. You keep going.
Arthur: Merlin. Don't do anything stupid.
Merlin: Me?

Agravaine: You have magic!
Merlin: I was born with it.
Agravaine: So it's you. You're Emrys.
Merlin: That is what the druids call me.
Agravaine: And you've been at court all this time, eh? At Arthur's side. How you've managed to deceive him. I am impressed, Merlin. Perhaps we are more alike than you think.

Tristan: (About Merlin) He knows the tunnels. He'll find his way.
Arthur: I'm going back.
Tristan: For a servant?
Gwen: You're wrong about him.

Arthur: Merlin! Where have you been?
Merlin: Were you worried about me?
Arthur: No. I was making sure we weren't being followed.
Merlin: You came back to look for me.
Arthur:All right it's true. I came back because you're the only friend I have, and I couldn't bear to lose you.
Merlin: Really?
Arthur: Don't be stupid!

(Sir Elyan tries to stop the Southron men who are taking Sir Gwaine away for another fight)
Sir Gwaine: Don't worry. At least we'll get to eat.

Morgana: So you've another chance to sing for your supper. I thought I might make it a little harder this time.
Sir Gwaine: Seems fair.
Morgana: Oh, but you can't fight with your bare hands (Gives him a small wooden sword) Never mind. You're a Knight of Camelot, you'll be fine.

Tristan: Look at you. First you go back to rescue your servant, now you're getting your hands dirty. But then again, why shouldn't you? You're just like everyone else. There's nothing special about you, is there?
Arthur: Maybe I don't deserve to be king.
Tristan: Well, that's all right, because you're not. Not any more.

Gwen: Arthur?
Arthur: Don't. What happened in Ealdor was a moment's weakness. What you did to me... everything I cherished between us. Everything we had. It's gone. That will never change.
Gwen: I'm sorry.

Sir Elyan: You need to eat.
Gaius: Whether I eat or not, I am not long for this world.
Sir Elyan: Come on, Gaius.
Gaius: I am a physician, Elyan. I have spent my days watching the cycle of life. If there is one thing I am not afraid of, it is death. Don't waste your food. If Gwaine has to fight again he will need all the strength he can get.

Merlin: Arthur, what's the matter? Don't listen to Tristan. He doesn't know you.
Arthur: I trusted the wrong people.
Merlin: They betrayed you. That wasn't your fault.
Arthur: I was a fool. I've misjudged everyone. My uncle, Morgana. Every decision I've made has been wrong.
Merlin: You're being too hard on yourself.
Arthur: I should be discerning, wise. A statesman. A king! Tristan's right, there's nothing special about me, I'm just like everyone else.
Merlin: You're not! You're a worthy king.
Arthur: I'm good with a sword, that's all.
Merlin: Your people love you.
Arthur: Most of them are dead, thanks to me.
Merlin: No. Most of them escaped. And they'll be here, in the forest, I'm sure of that.
Arthur: If they are they'll have to find themselves a new king.

The Great Dragon: What is troubling you, young warlock?
Merlin: It's Arthur. He's lost the will to fight. He feels he's failed his people. He believes no longer deserves to be king.
The Great Dragon: The fate of Camelot rests in your hands, young warlock. For you, and you alone, can restore the king's faith.
Merlin: How?
The Great Dragon: You must make him believe that he can be king once more. I wish I could be of more help, Merlin.
Merlin: No. I know how.

Merlin: I was thinking about last night and how you'd given up all hope, how you were a poor leader and a shoddy king.
Arthur: Shoddy?
Merlin: All right, shabby.
Arthur: Thanks!
Merlin: Well, it reminded me of a tale Gaius once told me.
Arthur: Merlin, I'm really not interested in your favourite bedtime stories.
Merlin: For once in your life, just listen.

(About the story of Bruta, the first king of Camelot)
Merlin: You know the story?
Arthur: Yes, every child in Camelot does. Can I go back to bed now?

(Merlin makes up a story about the sword in the stone)
Arthur: Are you making this up?
Merlin: Of course not.
Arthur: All right. If it's true, why haven't I heard this story?
Merlin: Well, history isn't really your strong point, is it?

(After Merlin makes up a story around the sword in the stone)
Arthur: I've never heard so much rubbish in my entire life.
Merlin: Are you calling Gaius a liar?
Arthur: No, I'm calling you an idiot.

Arthur: What the hell are you playing at?
Merlin: I'm proving you're their leader and king.
Arthur: That sword is stuck fast in solid rock!
Merlin: And you're going to pull it out.
Arthur: Merlin! It's impossible!
Merlin: Arthur, you're the true king of Camelot.
Arthur: Do you want me to look a fool?
Merlin: No, I'm going to make you see that Tristan's wrong. You aren't just anyone, you are special. You and you alone can draw out that sword.
Arthur: You'd better be right about this.
Merlin: You have to believe, Arthur. You are destined to be Albion's greatest king. Nothing, not even this stone can stand in your way.

Helios: When they arrived there, the ground itself was still on fire. They'd all been slaughtered. Every last one of them.
Morgana: And Agravaine?
Helios: Dead.
Morgana: There's only one person who could've done this. Only one man who could command a dragon. This is the work of Emrys.

Sir Percival: Arthur, even if we can get inside, she has an army.
Arthur: And we have what? A few hundred...
Sir Percival: And they still outnumber us.
Arthur: Yeah, but only three to one.
Isolde: And do you think they'll fight?
Sir Leon: They'll fight for Arthur.
Arthur: It's not for me they have to fight for. It's for Camelot.
Sir Leon: No, Arthur. It is you that people love, and you that they will lay down their lives for. I know that I would ride into the mouth of hell for you.
Sir Percival: And I.
Merlin: And I.
(Isolde looks towards Tristan who is watching the scene)
Arthur: Then to the mouth of hell it is.

Isolde: (To Gwen) Never give up hope. Love is stronger than anything.

Arthur: (To Merlin) The Southrons are men like you and me. Men we can fight. But Morgana... her power is so great and we've got nothing to answer it with.

(After Merlin has made up a story to make Arthur believed that he is destined to rule over the greatest kingdom the world has ever known)
Arthur: You're making this up.
Merlin: Why would I? Your head's already as big as your waist. I believe it, though. And I believe in you. I always have.

(About Emrys)
Helios: We've searched everywhere. He fled, Morgana. He trembled at the sight of you.
Morgana: Then why was he here? Why does he choose to taunt me like this?
Helios: We must hold our nerve. Maybe you should get some sleep.
Morgana: Make sure there are guards on the door.

Arthur: This is where we say goodbye.
Tristan: Arthur. All my life I've shied away from other people's wars and despised the power and wealth that Kings buy with the lives of men. But you've shown yourself to be different.
Isolde: You've shown us that you fight for what is right and fair. And for that reason... we would like to fight at your side.
Arthur: I'd be honoured to have you at my side. We stand together as equals.

Gwen: Arthur. If anything happens to us I want you to know...
Arthur: Guinevere...
Gwen: I understand you can't forgive me. But I never once stopped loving you. Never once.

Helios: It seems we have company.
Morgana: Emrys.
Helios: Arthur.
Morgana: My dear brother. We must welcome him home.

(Sir Percival and Sir Leon have fought their way to the dungeons)
Sir Gwaine: Come on, boys. What's taking you so long?
Sir Percival: You all right?
Sir Elyan: I've been locked up with Gwaine for a week.

Isolde: (To Tristan, before facing Morgana and the Southron in a swordfight) Whatever happened to the idea of finding a bit of land and settling down?

Arthur: (About Excalibur) You know? This thing's not bad.
Merlin: I thought you might like it.

Morgana: Welcome, dear brother. It's been far too long. I apologise if you had a difficult reception. It's hard to know who to trust these days.
Arthur: What happened to you, Morgana? I thought we were friends.
Morgana: As did I. But alas, we were both wrong.
Arthur: You can't blame me for my father's sins.
Morgana: It's a little late for that. You've made it perfectly clear how you feel about me and my kind. You're not as different from Uther as you like to think.
Arthur: Nor are you.
Morgana: I'm going to enjoy killing you, Arthur Pendragon. Not even Emrys can save you now.

(Morgana tries to kill Arthur using magic but Merlin has removed her magic from her)
Arthur: Not so powerful now, my lady.

Gwen: What did I do to make you hate me so much?
Morgana: It's not what you did, it's what you are destined to do. I'm sorry, Gwen but I can never let that happen.

Isolde: (Badly wounded after saving Arthur's life in a swordfight) I'm sorry.
Tristan: Shh.
Isolde: Our dreams...
Tristan: Isolde, don't.
Isolde: I wish...
Tristan: I wish, too.
Isolde: Hold me.
(She dies in his arms. He kisses her and cries)

Gwen: If you want me to go, to return to Ealdor...
Arthur: I want you to stay. Guinevere...
Gwen: You don't have to say anything.
Arthur: Whatever happened between us...
Gwen: Please, I can't forgive myself.
Arthur: I don't care. I just don't ever want to lose you (Taking her hands in his) Will you marry me?
Gwen: Yes! Yes, with all my heart!
(They kiss)
