Episode Quotes

Arthur: You knew. You knew Agravaine was betraying me.
Merlin: I couldn't be sure. But then, I did have my suspicions.
Arthur: I feel like such a fool. I put such trust in him. All this time I was blind to his treachery as I was to Morgana's.
Merlin: You were deceived, Arthur. That could happen to anyone.
Arthur: Yet it keeps happening to me. I cared about these people. I don't understand. What have I done wrong? Why do they hate me?
Merlin: No, they don't hate you. They just... crave your power for themselves.
Arthur: Perhaps. Would they still want that power if I was the king my people deserve? Maybe Tristan's right...
Merlin: Tristan was angry and afraid. He needed to blame someone. But it's not you that's to blame.
Arthur: You seem very sure about all this.
Merlin: All I know is that, for your many faults... you are honest and brave and truehearted, and one day you will be the greatest king this land has ever known.
Arthur: [smiles briefly, half joking] Well, good to know I have the support of my servant, at least.
Merlin: [still serious] I'm not alone. Believe me.
