The premiere of Merlin‘s fifth season is less than a week away, and now you can watch a sneak peek and read 10 teasing quotes from the episode.

In this sneak peek we first see Morgana and Game of Thrones actor Liam Cunningham discussing the state of affairs – and Morgana reveals that, “For two long years I saw nothing but darkness. Patience and I are old friends.” This seems to confirm that we have indeed jumped two years into the future since the events of the season 4 finale, “The Sword in the Stone.”

The second part cuts to Camelot, where Merlin, Gwen and a visibly aged Gaius listen as Elyan tells Arthur of rumours about Morgana. We gather from this that Arthur’s inner circle still very much includes Merlin and Gaius, and now Guenevere as well.

Further, CultBox has released the following 10 quotes from the first episode, that may be hints as to what we can expect:

‘Patience and I are old friends.’

‘I heard many rumours Sire, all of them had one name in common: Morgana.’

‘The knights of Camelot do not abandon their own.’

‘A wise man is not cowed by knowledge, Merlin.’

‘I’d love to see your fool perform.’

‘They are Pendragons. They are good for one thing only… death!’

‘Good allies are hard to find. I’d hate to lose one.’

‘Navigation is not your strong point, is it?’

‘If only we had a horse.’

‘You know I never do as I’m told.’

Any guesses as to who utter these lines in the episode? The sneak peek takes care of the first three, but we can’t wait to see the rest in context!

The fifth season of Merlin premieres next Saturday, on October 6 at 7:45 GMT on BBC One! It will have 13 episodes, and the two-part premiere is entitled “Arthur’s Bane.”
