Merlin's final line in the episode (to Kilgharrah): "I've done everything you asked. I've protected him, guided him. But the harder I try, the closer he gets to Mordred. And the closer Mordred gets to him, the closer we all get to Arthur's death." Kilgharrah's cold reply: "Then you must do what you have always done. Carry on."

Merlin stands apart, staring at the citadel, knowing it will fall.
