(Zedd)
Previously on
Legend of the Seeker.
The only way to close the rift
is the way the Creator
sealed the Underworld.
The Stone of Tears.
(Richard)
I think it's a compass.
This orb will guide
the Seeker's way.
(Cara) To what?
Hopefully the Stone of Tears.
(Kahlan)
Richard, we can't trust her.
(Richard)
Twice now she's proven herself
to me.
I can use her.
I consider you to be
my friend.
I save Richard.
Suddenly you wanna
defeat the Keeper?
I want to live again.
(Keeper)
Sister Marianna,
Darken Rahl has betrayed me.
What do you ask of us?
(Keeper)
Send him back to me.
I have no intention
of going back.
The only reason
you want to save the world
is to save yourself.
( grunts )
(Rahl)
I'm sure I'll see you again,
brother.
I'm sure you will.
( suspenseful theme playing )
(Zedd)
Richard Cypher,
you are the true Seeker.
( heroic theme playing )
Original Air Date on May 8, 2010
( ominous theme playing )
( grunts )
Cara, it's me.
Dahlia?
You know her?
We served together
for many years.
Why were you following us?
The true Lord Rahl
is in danger.
I need your help
to save him.
Darken Rahl
may have used magic
to come back
to the world of the living,
but Richard
is the true Lord Rahl.
I'm not talking
about Darken Rahl.
Or the Seeker.
I'm talking about your son.
You have a son?
Many Mord-Sith
bear children.
But not many bear children
fathered by Darken Rahl.
Why didn't
you ever tell us?
It wasn't important.
What happened to the child?
He was taken from me
at birth.
Oh, Cara, I'm so sorry.
Don't be.
It was considered an honor
to be chosen by Lord Rahl.
You know where the baby
was taken?
Male children
born to Mord-Sith
are sent to be raised
by the Dragon Corps
to learn to fight
for D'Hara.
When Darken Rahl died,
my Sisters and I
went to find the boy.
We took him back to our temple
and served him
like the true Lord Rahl
he will one day become.
But a week ago, our temple was
raided by Sisters of the Dark.
The Sisters' powers are useless
against Mord-Sith.
We thought so too,
but they've grown stronger.
We couldn't repel their magic.
I was the only Mord-Sith
to survive.
The Sisters took the boy.
Where?
I tracked them to a retreat
in the hills of Eritrane,
but I knew I wouldn't be able
to rescue him on my own.
We have more important
things to do
than chase after
a missing child.
Cara, there's nothing more
important than your son.
He's the future of D'Hara,
and he needs your help.
You know I can't read
a Mord-Sith.
Do you think
we can trust her?
(Cara)
I've known her for a long time.
Before we were Mord-Sith,
we were schoolmates.
She was taken
from Stowecroft too.
(Richard)
If there's even a chance
she's telling the truth,
we need to find this boy.
What we need to find
is the Stone of Tears.
This could be a trap set
by the Sisters of the Dark
to take you away
from your quest.
Cara, we're talking
about a child.
Your son.
He means nothing to me.
( sighs )
Whether you care for him or not,
the child is out there.
A child with Rahl blood,
possibly Rahl magic.
If Sisters of the Dark
have him,
there's no telling
what nefarious purpose
they have for him.
Zedd, go with Cara.
If Sisters of the Dark
have learned new magic,
she may need your help.
Kahlan and I will keep following
the compass.
We'll catch up with you
just as soon as we can.
( mysterious theme playing )
And the Seeker
defeated Darken Rahl,
and the people were freed
forever from his cruelty.
That's a lovely story.
Tell me another one.
Do you want to hear
my favorite?
I want to hear
all your stories.
It's about a man
who loves a woman so much
that he would give his life
twice over just to hold her.
I know that one.
It doesn't end
the way you want it to.
Elodie, I would swim
across an ocean.
I would slay dragons.
Anything to touch you
just once.
(Man 1)
Elodie.
I have to go.
(Man 2)
Wait.
When will I--?
Who were you talking to?
I was just praying
to the Creator.
And she has heard
your prayers.
The Seeker
is getting close.
( panting )
( ominous theme playing )
The compass is telling us
to go straight ahead.
That's impossible.
Maybe not.
( snoring )
Does he always sleep
so loudly?
If I were a Wizard
traveling with two Mord-Sith,
I'd sleep
with one eye open.
Zedd trusts me.
He doesn't question
your loyalties?
He has no reason to.
I'm glad you decided
to come with me.
I came because
Richard ordered me to.
Are you sorry you did?
No.
Neither am I.
( tender theme playing )
This isn't so bad.
Sleeping in a cold, dark cave?
Being alone together.
I can't remember
the last time.
It's nice.
I, uh--
I hope Cara's all right.
And the boy.
If anyone could take on
the Sisters of the Dark,
it's the son
of Cara and Darken Rahl.
Can you imagine what that child
is going to be like?
Smart.
Stubborn.
Powerful.
Enough to take over
the world.
Who could stop him?
Our child.
Well, our child
would have to be a girl.
A girl that could take out
a dozen D'Haran soldiers,
just like her mother.
Well, I'd want her to have
a good heart,
like her father.
Well, I would want her
to have her mother's eyes.
No.
No.
I'd want her
to have your eyes.
( tender theme playing )
Richard.
We can't.
It's all right.
It's just a kiss.
And Zedd and Cara
aren't here.
That's the problem.
When they're with us
it's easy for me
not to grab you
and kiss you,
but without them,
there's nothing stopping us
except good judgment.
( sighs )
When you kiss me like that, I--
I feel that judgment
slipping away.
( sighs )
( Zedd snoring )
It's a good thing the Wizard
sleeps so soundly.
( soft theme playing )
If we move quickly
we can reach Eritrane
and rescue the child
before nightfall.
And then you'll go back
to the Seeker and his quest?
Yes.
You don't have to.
You could stay with me.
We could raise
the Lord Rahl together.
Richard is the Lord Rahl.
Cara, you led the charge
at Pallus Ridge.
You were merciless
at Valeria.
You once swore to kill the man
you now serve.
What happened to you?
Richard.
The Seeker could use a fighter
as strong as you, Dahlia.
We could serve him together.
I should wake Zedd.
( ominous theme playing )
( bird cawing )
( majestic theme playing )
(Kahlan)
Oh, it's beautiful.
Look at the compass.
You must be the Seeker.
Yes.
(All)
Bless the Creator
Whose light and wisdom
Are eternal
Who are you?
My name is Asa.
We've been waiting for you
for a very long time.
( compass chirps )
The Stone of Tears.
In the beginning of time,
the Creator asked us to be
the Guardians of the Stone.
She knew, in her infinite
wisdom, that one day,
the Keeper would wage war
on the living.
She told us that a Seeker
and Confessor would come
to preserve the precious life
she created.
We've waited thousands of years
for you.
Your ancestors
would be very proud.
We have no ancestors.
I don't understand.
We're the same people to whom
the Creator gave the Stone
thousands of years ago.
You're the first generation.
How is that possible?
The Stone's magic
has protected us
and kept us from aging.
(All)
Blessed is the Creator
Who gave us the Stone
(Asa)
We've prepared a cottage
and a hot meal.
Elodie will take you.
(Richard) Thank you.
But we can't stay.
I need to get the Stone
to the Pillars of Creation
as quickly as we can.
The Pillars of Creation?
The Scroll of Valdaire
said I had to take it there
to seal the rift
to the Underworld.
I don't know anything
about a scroll.
But the rift to the Underworld
can never be sealed.
This valley will be protected
from the Keeper's destruction.
So the Stone must stay
right here with us.
And so must you.
We came here to save
the world of the living,
not to hide
from the Keeper.
The compass led you here,
didn't it?
Yes, but--
The compass was a gift
from the Creator.
One of our own, Ulrich,
sacrificed his eternal life
and carried the compass
out of the valley
so that when the end was near
you would find it, Seeker,
and be led back to us.
We found the compass in the tomb
of the first Abbot of Ulrich.
The order must
have been named after him.
I know nothing
about orders and abbots,
but I know you will
save the world.
How?
In time,
after the destruction is over,
you and the Mother Confessor
will leave our valley
and begin the world anew.
We can't have children.
That's why we need you.
Your children will be the new
first generation.
That is the Creator's will.
Even if this is true,
I don't believe the Creator
wants everyone else
in the world to die.
Since you are here,
it means the world's already
been corrupted by the Keeper.
The people are wicked.
You don't need to mourn
their loss.
That's not true.
There are good people
in the world.
(Elodie)
Asa.
We haven't left this valley
or seen the Creator
for thousands of years.
Maybe they know more
about the outside than we do.
The Creator has told us
all we need to know.
But I can't let the rest
of the world fall to the Keeper.
Not if there's a chance
to save it.
If you take the Stone
out of this valley
and fail to stop the Keeper,
the world will end
and you and the Confessor
will die.
There will be no one left
to preserve life.
That is how the Keeper
will win.
Is that a chance
you're prepared to take?
Yes.
Now, I don't want to fight you,
but we're leaving.
We're not violent people.
We can't stop you.
All we can do is pray
for the Creator's guidance.
(All)
Blessed Creator
Give us wisdom
In our uncertainty
Bless us with your eternal
Grace and compassion
Blessed Creator
Give us wisdom
In our uncertainty
(Kahlan)
I don't understand.
This is where
we came in.
The compass.
That's what got us
through before.
The compass was created
to lead us to the Stone.
Maybe now that it's done that,
its magic no longer works.
We need to find
another way out.
How much further
to Eritrane?
We're close.
Oh!
Dahlia, no!
( Agiel whining )
( screaming )
( dramatic theme playing )
( grunts )
( Agiel whines )
( grunting )
Why are you doing this?
When it's all over,
you'll be glad I did.
( Agiel whines )
Welcome home, Cara.
Your sisters and I
have missed you.
( dramatic theme playing )
( Cara gasping )
Where's Zedd?
Your concern for the Wizard
is touching.
I shall put your tender heart
at ease.
He's alive.
For now.
What do you want with us?
Isn't it obvious?
I want you back
on my side.
Though I must admit
you haven't made it easy
for me.
I may no longer have armies
at my command.
But fortunately,
I knew of your special
friendship with Dahlia.
I knew she would want you back
as much as I do.
My son
was never kidnapped,
was he?
Your son was killed
the day he was born.
I couldn't risk the little
*** growing up
to challenge my authority,
now, could I?
Oh, Cara.
Has that made you sad?
You really have grown soft since
you started serving the Seeker,
haven't you?
It's my fault, I suppose.
I left your training
to underlings.
( Agiel whining )
But someone as valuable as you
deserves my personal attention.
This time,
I won't make
the same mistake.
( Agiel whining )
We're right back
where we started.
There's no getting through
these cliffs.
( sighs )
If we can't go through
we'll go over.
Where's Cara?
( door slamming )
( bolts latching )
( grunts )
( sighs )
Whatever your plan is,
it will fail.
Richard will find me.
And he will
humiliate you again.
(Rahl)
Oh, poor Cara.
You actually believe the Seeker
would stop his quest
simply to save you?
You're not that important.
( grunts )
(Dahlia) Lord Rahl.
Our scouts report no sign
of enemies.
If you'd like, I can call them
back to break the Wizard.
No.
Keep them on watch.
The Sisters of the Dark have
been following me for weeks.
They can't be far behind.
And as for the Wizard with
the rada'han around his neck,
he's nothing more
than a frail old man.
My Lord, you've been exhausting
yourself for hours.
Let me continue her training
so you can get some rest.
Hm.
Put pain before pleasure,
Dahlia.
( dramatic theme playing )
( sighs )
I wish there were
another way.
( kisses )
Why did you lie to me?
Remember when we
were little girls?
How terrifying the Agiels
were then?
How much they hurt?
You held my hand so tightly,
it was the only thing
that kept me from crying.
We knew if we cried
they'd just torture us more.
We survived because we protected
each other from our weaknesses.
That's what I'm doing now.
The Seeker
has made you soft.
He's poisoned you
against your Sisters.
Your family.
Richard, Kahlan and Zedd
are my family.
( scoffs )
They hardly know you.
They can't love you
like I do.
( grunts )
( gasping )
It seems Lord Rahl has been
too gentle with you.
I'll let him know he needs to
apply himself more forcefully.
( wind rushing )
We're almost there.
Give me your hand.
(Kahlan)
Oh!
Oh!
( both grunt )
( dramatic theme playing )
(Richard)
Hold on!
( grunts )
Take my hand!
No, we'll both fall!
It's all right,
I'll catch you.
Ah!
Come on!
( rocks sliding )
Come on!
We can't let the Keeper win.
You have to go on without me.
Kahlan, don't!
I love you, Richard.
No!
Kahlan, no.
(Richard)
No
Kahlan!
( grunting )
( wind gusting )
( panting )
( mysterious theme playing )
( birds chirping )
Oh!
How?
I don't know.
Just when I thought I was gonna
hit the ground,
I found myself
standing right here.
The Guardians are using magic to
keep us trapped in this valley.
( bells chiming )
You came back.
Praise the Creator.
Take the spell off now.
It would be impossible
for us to cast a spell.
We don't have any magic.
Well, then, tell us
how to get out.
None of us has ever tried
to leave.
He's telling the truth.
There must be a way out.
We prayed to the Creator
to keep you safe.
And she answered our prayers.
(All)
Bless the Creator
Whose light and wisdom
Are eternal
( Agiel whining )
(Rahl)
I know what you're doing, Cara.
You're dividing your mind.
( Agiel whining )
( soft theme playing )
You're thinking about
your friends.
But happy thoughts about Richard
are not going to protect you.
They already have.
And if you were half
the Lord Rahl he is,
you wouldn't have
to break someone
to get her
to do what you want.
( grunts )
( Agiel whining )
( coughs )
( chuckling )
(Dahlia)
Lord Rahl.
The scouts have spotted
the Sisters of the Dark.
They're closing in on us.
We don't have much time.
We'll have to take Cara
somewhere else
to finish her training.
No, let them come.
My Lord?
Perhaps they can help
make our Cara more cooperative.
(Marianna)
You have betrayed the Keeper,
Darken Rahl.
Only a fool would try
to bargain with him now.
(Rahl)
Oh, I think you'll disagree
when you hear what I am about
to accomplish for him.
The only thing
he wants from you
is the pleasure of tormenting
your soul for all eternity.
I'm quite sure
there is something he wants
even more than that.
The Stone of Tears.
The Keeper thinks
I've betrayed him.
He is wrong.
I am on the verge of finally
getting the Stone for him.
Something he has been unable
to do himself
since the beginning of time.
If you help me achieve
this victory for him,
I have no doubt
that the Keeper
will reward you
beyond imagining.
( dramatic theme playing )
What do you propose?
( Sisters all chanting
in ancient tongue )
What are they doing?
(Rahl)
They are imbuing the Agiel
with the suffering
of every soul
that Cara has tortured
and killed.
When they're finished, its touch
will be more painful to her
than all the fires
of the Underworld.
( chanting in ancient tongue )
My Lord, be careful.
Don't worry, Dahlia.
This Agiel
can't hurt anyone
but Cara.
( spits )
I'm going to enjoy this.
( Agiel whining )
( screams )
We'll get out of here.
( soft theme playing )
What if we don't?
Richard, we'll never
see Zedd again, or Cara,
or my sister.
Why should they die
at the hands of the Keeper
if we get to live?
Kahlan, I don't believe
this is the Creator's plan
any more than you do.
But if we can't
get out of here,
maybe we can do
what they're saying.
( scoffs )
Start the world over again?
We could have those children
we imagined.
Richard.
If we had children,
you would be confessed.
Maybe not.
If there is a Creator,
and this is her plan for us,
maybe it's because
she knows that we're--
I don't know,
different somehow.
Maybe our love for each other
would protect us.
And if we're not different
and you're confessed to me?
What would it matter?
It wouldn't distract me
from my quest.
I wouldn't have one
anymore.
And even if I were confessed,
I couldn't possibly love you
any more than I already do.
( Kahlan sighs )
I'm sorry to disturb you.
I just wanted
to leave you some food.
The Creator has provided us
with wonderful things to eat,
a beautiful place to live.
Maybe you could learn
to like it here.
How could we like it here
when our friends on the outside
are suffering?
But you're safe here.
In a world free from the Keeper
and banelings and Darken Rahl.
Asa said none of you
have ever left this valley.
How do you know about banelings
and Darken Rahl?
There are stories written
in the ancient scrolls.
She's lying.
Do you understand
what a Confessor does?
If you do not tell us the truth,
I will release my power
and you will be my slave
for as long as I live.
And in this valley, that is
going to be a very long time.
I'll tell you, but please,
you can't tell Asa
or he'll take the ring
away from me.
What ring?
Asa told you of Ulrich,
who took the compass
out of our valley.
Before he left, the Creator
made two magical rings
so that Ulrich could speak to
Asa even when he was far away.
When Asa slept,
I'd take the ring
so that I could speak
to Ulrich.
I was in love with him
and this was the only way
we could be together.
But he grew old
and you didn't.
When Ulrich died,
Asa cast his ring away.
But I found it
and secretly kept it.
Sometimes I would take it out
to remember Ulrich.
One day, I put the ring on
and an old woman appeared to me.
The old woman told me
she'd bought the ring
from a traveling merchant.
The ring has fallen
into many hands over the years,
and I've made
many more friends.
Who has the other ring now?
His name is Alastair.
He's the first man
I've loved since Ulrich.
I need to speak with him.
This may be our only chance
of stopping the Keeper.
But I would be defying Asa
and the Creator.
Elodie, if we don't
take this chance,
good people are going to die.
Do you believe that's what
the Creator wants?
I need to use the ring.
When I last saw Zedd,
we were on the road
near Dalmoore.
He headed east
towards Eritrane.
He said he'd come back
to find us
when his mission
was finished.
Travel in the direction he went,
and if we're lucky,
you'll find him heading back
your way.
I need you
to give him the ring.
And then he'll be able to get
you out of the valley.
And Elodie too?
I don't know.
( menacing theme playing )
Your training is finally over,
Cara.
But now you face
one final test
to ensure
that you are re-broken.
I want you to kill the Wizard.
( Agiel whining )
I know you, Cara.
This isn't who you are.
Don't keep me waiting, Cara.
( grunts )
Cara, no!
( suspenseful theme playing )
I told you I serve Richard.
We don't have much time before
the Sisters of the Dark
come back.
( Agiel whining )
( screams )
Let's go.
We need the key
to the rada'han.
(Zedd)
No, Cara!
If you kill him,
he'll tell the Keeper
where Richard is supposed
to take the Stone.
Excuse me, friends.
Have you seen a tall man
with long white hair
pass through here? I spoke
to a man in Dalmoore.
He said he had seen him
on this road a few days ago.
We might be able
to help you.
But it'll cost you
I don't have any money.
I'll have to ask
somewhere else.
No!
Ah.
(Alastair)
You can't take that!
Please.
I-It can't be worth much to you,
but the fate of the world
depends on it.
The fate of the world?
Well, no one's ever tried
that excuse before.
( wind roaring )
(Zedd)
Are you all right, young man?
You're Zeddicus the Wizard.
That's right.
The Seeker
told me to find you.
(Zedd)
I can't even sense
where the portal is.
Whatever magic allowed you
to pass through this rock
is beyond my powers.
If you can't get in,
what about
the spell of taking?
It doesn't work
on living things.
I can't use it to get you
out of the valley.
No, but you once used it to take
the Sword and compass from me.
It might work
on the Stone of Tears.
It might, but the last time
I performed that spell,
I had Shota's help.
I don't know
if I can do it on my own.
We have to try, Zedd.
And maybe if you get the Stone
out of here,
the compass will
start working again.
And lead you out
of the valley
But if it doesn't,
and Kahlan and I are trapped
here forever,
you'll still have
the Stone.
You and Cara can take it to the
Pillars of Creation without us.
The spell is more likely to work
if I can see the Stone.
( Zedd chanting
in ancient tongue )
It worked.
So does the compass.
I'll see you soon my boy.
( striking blow )
( gasps )
Zedd, what's wrong?
( Agiel whining )
Cara, why?
My master ordered me to.
( dramatic theme playing )
( Zedd chanting
in ancient tongue )
Zedd? Zedd!
Richard, what's happening?
I don't know.
( panting )
Zedd, are you all right?
Cara attacked me.
She took the Stone.
I thought she had withstood
Rahl's attempts to re-break her,
but obviously
I was deceived.
Stay where you are.
We'll be there
as soon as we can.
The Stone is gone.
We can feel it.
What have you done with it?
I sent it out of the valley.
Who has it now?
The compass is working again.
We'll get the Stone back
and take it
to the Pillars of Creation.
I know this isn't what you
thought the Creator intended,
but we're going
to defeat the Keeper.
For the sake of the world
I hope you're right.
(Alastair)
You can't imagine
what it's been like,
to be able to see each other,
but never be able to touch.
I'm happy for you both.
We need to get
the Stone back.
What about Cara?
( dramatic theme playing )
Dahlia.
( soft theme playing )
(Rahl)
I see that you've returned
to the *** of your family,
Cara.
My Lord.
You played our little scene
for the Wizard brilliantly.
I brought
what you asked for.
( dramatic theme playing )
It's good
to have you back.
