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. It could happen to anyone.
Arthur : Yet it keeps happening to me. I cared about these people. I... 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.

Tristan : I've lost everything I've worked for for some good-for-nothing king?
Arthur : That's quite something, coming from a smuggler.
Tristan : Well, I wouldn't have to be a smuggler if it wasn't for your damn taxes, would I?
Arthur : Those taxes help protect the people of this land.
Tristan : My people are dead. You call that protection?
