Arthur
- [as Arthur carries Gwen and Merlin carries their supplies, Merlin feels they're being watched]
- Arthur: These funny feelings of yours...
- Merlin: They're not funny.
- Arthur: Stupid, then. Where do they come from, you think? You still there, Merlin? Don't tell me you've gone into a sulk.
- Merlin: I'm not sulking. I'm... carrying a load even a horse would struggle under.
- Arthur: You do good.
- Merlin: How come it wouldn't do you good?
- Arthur: I'm already good.
- [Arthur sees Gwen conspiring with Morgana and draws his sword]
- Merlin: [whispering] No, My Lord. Morgana's too powerful. Now's not the time.
- Arthur: How could she do this?
- Merlin: She's not the Gwen you love. She has fallen prey to a dark and powerful magic.
- Arthur: If I lose her, I lose everything.
- Merlin: We'll fine a way to bring her back, Arthur. I promise.
- Arthur: This tincture of belladonna, what are its effects?
- Gaius: Patient is rendered into a deep sleep...
- Arthur: Patient?
- Gaius: It is generally used for the badly wounded.
- Arthur: How long does it last?
- Gaius: A few hours. It has to be administered several times a day to provide a continuous sleep.
- Merlin: But for no more than three days.
- Gaius: It is true, sire. The tincture should not be taken for an extended period.
- Arthur: Or?
- Merlin: The body will not tolerate it.
- Arthur: Thank you, Merlin.
- Mordred: My lord, where's Merlin?
- Arthur: What have you done with my servant?
- Merlin: [as The Dolma] Oh... The gangly boy. Hmm...
- [Arthur unsheathes his sword and moves towards The Dolma]
- Merlin: If you kill me, you'll never see him again. I am an old woman. Is it not natural I seek some surety? The boy will be returned to you when we have concluded our business.
- Merlin: Aren't you forgetting something?
- Arthur: [Arthur turns, looking puzzled, he checks to make sure that he has his sword] I don't think so.
- Merlin: [the Dolma sighs in Exasperation, her hands on her hips] The boy!
- Arthur: [after a moment, Arthur realizes what she's talking about] Ah... Ah. Of course. I thought everything had gone unusually smoothly.
- Merlin: That boy was your surety, great King! Without him, your Queen would still be lost.
- Arthur: I'm not sure that's quite true.
- Merlin: And I say it is!
- Arthur: [Arthur nods slightly but doesn't look convinced. The Dolma moves very close to him, until they're standing face to face] Right. Erm... I'm sorry. I'll give him the afternoon off.
- Merlin: [THE Dolma sighs, irritated] One day, great King, you will recognize the true worth of those that surround you. Go!
- Arthur: I'm sorry I didn't confide in you.
- Mordred: It's best you didn't. If I hadn't had my suspicions, I wouldn't have followed you. Merlin acting strangely...
- Arthur: Is that so unusual?
- Mordred: And the levy route being changed.
- Arthur: You had a funny feeling.
- Mordred: My Lord?
- Arthur: I'm glad that you did, Mordred.
