My Lord.
My Lord, we've done it.
We've located the third box of Orden.
Where?
The tracer cloud has come to rest
over the plains of Morrow.
So close to the People's Palace.
The wizard is being arms,
perhaps on some kind of ploy.
No doubt Zeddicus is using magic
to protect the box somehow.
Send a battalion to the Plains of Morrow.
Tell them to find the box at any cost.
Yes My Lord, at once.
Egremont, do you remember
your D'Haran history?
My Lord?
The battle at the Plains of Morrow,
the turning point of the
Great Wizard War 3000 years ago.
I studied it in my youth, My Lord.
But do you know why to this day the grass
on the plains of Morrow is always green
in all seasons,
through blizzard and drought?
Because it grows in the bones and blood
of the wizards massacred in the battle.
Zeddicus must be using their magic
to shield the box somehow.
Whoever finds the Box of Orden
will be honored and rewarded
by Lord Rahl himself.
Would anyone else like to
walk away from their duty?
Find the Box of Orden!
For Darken Rahl and D'Hara!
Legend of the Seeker SO1E16
"Bloodline"
What are you doing?
Oh, I thought you wanted me
to keep you in shape.
I didn't say "kill me.
"
If I got that close to killing you,
apparently you need to practice.
I leave for a fortnight and you two
are at each other's throats.
Zedd.
One more day and we were
gonna go looking for you.
Where have you been?
Disposing of the box,
which is at long last safely hidden.
Where?
Under Rahl's nose.
Surrounded by seven concentric
walls of lethal magic.
Eventually, his lordship will run out
of men to fling against my fortification
and go after the box himself.
And when he does
He'll wish he hadn't.
Denna.
My Lord.
Why do you make me hurt you like this?
I'm sorry I failed you, My Lord.
So you've claimed many times.
But the fact remains you let
the Seeker slip from your grasp.
I deserve my punishment and more.
Release me and I'll show you such
pleasure that all will be forgiven.
Pleasure alas must wait.
I've learned the exact location
of the third Box of Orden.
But my men have failed to retrieve it.
Send me, I will succeed.
I should never have sent men
to do a Morth Sith's job.
But you would not want
to disappoint me again, Denna.
I will return with the box.
Yes.
.
But you won't be able to do it alone.
First you need to capture the one
person that I fear most in the world.
The Seeker will not escape me again.
No, no, no.
Someone far more fearsome than he.
Mother!
Hello Jennsen.
I'm sorry I had to hurt your mother,
but I'm here on extremely important business.
Important to the peace and
happiness of the whole world
and I need to be sure
that I can count on your help.
Let her go.
Please.
First I need you to do something
for me and for Lord Rahl.
Jennsen, no.
Whatever she asks, don't-
I really hope you don't make me
kill your mother, Jennsen.
Somewhere in this field
is a jeweled box.
Find it.
Why do I need a shovel?
You can see it?
A wizard made it invisible,
it's been right here all along.
Bring it to me.
These men What happened to them?
Killed by the wizard's magic
when they tried to retrieve the box.
Well, then,
how am I supposed to get it?
You never told her.
Told me what?
Forgive me, Jennsen.
I was hoping
you would never have to know.
Allow me, Jennsen,
to be the one to show you
how very far from ordinary
you really are.
Once every generation or so,
a child is born upon whom magic
has no effect whatsoever.
You are a very special girl, Jennsen.
Now get me the box.
Let my mother go.
When she has a head start,
I will give you the box.
Do you think you're in a position
to negotiate with me?
No!
Take it, please.
I'm sorry.
What is that?
A magical alarm, in case someone
somehow managed to get the box.
How could anyone have broken your magic?
Brilliant, the wizard
put a signal spell on it.
No doubt he's already racing this way
with the Seeker and the confessor.
I did what you wanted.
Please let us go.
Oh, no, I can't let you go, Jennsen.
No, I need you to carry that box
to the People's Palace yourself.
I can't get it there safely without you.
Jennsen, no.
Don't help her.
Let her kill me.
Look at them, Jennsen.
Look!
Did the wizard give a thought to the
innocent men he would brutally slaughter?
To their fatherless children?
No.
No, he thought only of protecting the
treasure which he stole from Darken Rahl
who seeks only to spread peace
throughout the Midlands.
She's lying to you!
Ask yourself, Jennsen.
Which of us is really the liar here?
Why has your mother hidden your powers
from you all these years?
Why has she hidden you
like some dirty, shameful secret?
Darken Rahl has dreamed of universal
peace ever since he was a little boy.
But now the Seeker has
returned to the Midlands
and is relentlessly trying
to destroy that dream.
You never told me any of this.
But Lord Rahl knows that
the Seeker is only a puppet
dancing on strings *** this way
and that by a wizard.
In his wisdom and his mercy,
Lord Rahl sent me to offer
the Seeker a chance
to stand at his side and declare
peace throughout the territories.
And do you know how
the Seeker greeted this offer?
He ran me through with the Sword of Lies,
and left me for dead.
You told me the Seeker was a hero.
He is a hero.
Why lie to me about who I am?
You've seen what a monster this woman is.
How can you believe one word she says?
I don't know who the monster is.
I don't know anything anymore.
Jennsen?
Get it back.
There.
No!
I underestimated you, Jennsen.
But not as tragically as you
have underestimated me.
Please, stop!
I'm the one who threw the box!
Punish me!
Denna.
She's alive.
She's holding the Agiel
and it does not hurt her.
How could she do that?
'cause she is pristinely ungifted.
Stay back.
That's the other side of your gift.
Not only can't you be harmed by magic
but you can't use it either.
You have a lot to learn
about yourself, Jennsen.
Pristinely ungifted are
entirely immune to magic.
They rarely survive past childhood.
Why not?
For generations,
the House of Rahl has found them
and murdered them at birth.
Why?
Because Rahl's magic can't
hurt them or enslave them.
What would be more dangerous to him?
Mistress, I have the box.
Bind her hands and tie them
both to the horse.
And hurry.
If the wizard and his friends
haven't already found us, they soon will.
Defend the box.
You look like you've seen a ghost.
Run.
Let me go.
I have to help my mother
We will, we will,
as soon as we get the box
as far away from Denna as we can.
If it will save my mother,
I will give it to her.
If Darken Rahl gets this box,
we will all be slaves.
Everybody in the world, and your mother
would be as good as dead anyway.
I don't even know you.
Why should I listen to you?
Because he is the Seeker.
If you are the Seeker,
then that woman Denna is torturing
is your mother too.
I was born three years after
the massacre at Brennidon.
My mother, our mother held me in her arms
for eight days after I was born.
Because she was afraid I would be
taken away from her like you were.
She's still afraid to
let me out of her sight.
Every year she lights
candles for your birthday,
imagined what you look like,
how tall you are,
if you have freckles
Zedd, you knew my mother.
Could it really be her?
Yes.
Then
Then what?
I am not here to fight.
I am here to deliver a message
from Mistress Denna.
She holds the girl's mother
at the Cave of Sorrows.
You bring the box, or she dies.
You have until nightfall.
We have to go, now.
I'm sorry, child, but we cannot forfeit
the final Box of Orden for one person's life.
That's easy for you to say.
She's not your mother.
No,
she's my daughter.
Yes.
I am your grandfather.
And apparently yours as well, child.
All this time
and you never told me?
I was afraid that some day you might have
to choose between your mission and family.
I never wanted to put you on that position.
Did you know?
I wanted to tell you.
I asked her not to.
What am I to you two?
Just a pair of hands
to hold the Sword of Truth
and fulfill your precious prophecy?
Who's our father?
I don't know.
I don't even know
if we have the same one.
Every time I tried to talk about it,
mother got so angry and sad,
so I finally stopped asking.
I'm going after her.
Richard, wait!
For what? There's no time.
I'll give Denna the box,
I'll get Taralynn saved,
and I will follow Denna
and get the box back
before she delivers it to Rahl.
And if you do not catch her in time?
How can you just stand there
and let your own daughter
being tortured by a Mord Sith?
Your mother gave up her
firstborn child for a reason.
She knew that you were born to stop
Rahl from enslaving the world.
She knew that you had to
survive no matter what.
If you let Rahl get the box,
then your mother's sacrifice
will have been for nothing.
That's not gonna happen.
I can't let you leave with the box.
What are you gonna do?
Cook me with Wizard's Fire?
I would never hurt you.
I'm just going to stop you.
Come on.
You can't stop Richard
if I'm with him, can you?
You can come and or you can stay.
Either way, we're gonna save our mother.
You alright?
Yeah.
.
It's sprained.
You're not going
anywhere until I bind it.
Let me help.
Your magic can't heal her.
She must think her grandfather's
cold-hearted ***.
Someday she'll understand.
What if there is no someday, Kahlan?
You have to convince Richard
to stop this madness.
You're the one who's always saying
that we have to trust the Seeker's instincts.
This is different.
This is his mother.
When he sees her being tortured,
I fear he's going to throw the box
to Denna just to make her stop.
Are you worried that Richard's
going to do that, or that you are?
Richard, Denna is gonna be ready for us.
She's going to have more soldiers.
How can we fight her?
Over the past few months,
I've been attacked by flying monsters,
tracked by bounty hunters,
tortured by Denna and
beaten bloody by Darken Rahl himself.
I'm still here.
All in one piece, I think.
I see it now.
What?
When you smile, right around the eyes,
you look just like our mother.
Try that.
If the box can do what you say,
give Darken Rahl power over
the whole world, then
I don't think our mother would want us
to trade it for her life.
Can you think of another way?
If this cave has some kind of magic
around it, I can get through that.
You should be ready for that.
There might be a way,
but it will all depend on you.
Anything.
Where is the box?
I don't have it with me.
Do you think I'm playing games?
Bring it to me or I'll kill her.
Go ahead.
Then go back to Rahl and explain
to him how you've failed him.
I'm guessing that whatever punishment
you've endured for letting me escape
is going to seem like a pinprick
compared to what he'll do to you this time.
You won't let an innocent person die.
I'm not as soft-hearted
as I used to be, Denna.
Not since I met you.
So I will let this woman
die in a heartbeat
if it keeps Rahl from
getting all three boxes.
But there is a way
we can both get what we want.
I'm listening.
First we put down our weapons.
The only bargain I'll consider
is the one that ends with me handing
the third Box of Orden to Darken Rahl.
I'll give you the third box.
After you'll help us
to steal the other two.
Impossible.
You know your way in and out
of the People's Palace, don't you?
I know the place better
than he does, but
I am not foolish enough
to try stealing the boxes.
I'm not asking you to.
But if you know the Palace
as well as you say,
then you know about all the magical
barriers Rahl uses to protect it.
You believe the pristinely ungifted one
can get past Rahl's magical barriers.
No!
Well, it's suicide,
but if you hand me the box,
I'll draw a treasure map for Jennsen.
No.
You draw the map,
Jennsen brings back the first two boxes,
then we give you the third.
And what if Rahl suspects
that I helped you?
If you don't return with the third box,
he's going to kill you anyway.
So I would say it's a risk worth taking.
Once you have all the boxes,
how do I know you'll give me the third?
Because you have Jennsen's mother.
This woman is very important to you,
isn't she, Richard?
Like you said, I'd rather not
let an innocent person die.
Do we have a deal?
Shall we seal it with a kiss?
Kill me, and I can never revive her!
I'll give her the Breath of Life
if you bring me the third Box of Orden
by the time the rising sun
is full in the sky.
You two stay here and protect the box.
Jennssen and I are going to the Palace.
Nothing has changed.
Everything has changed.
Denna has proven - as if proof was needed -
that she cannot be trusted.
You said if Darken Rahl got all three boxes,
he'd have power over everyone.
Could anyone who had
the boxes use that magic?
Yes.
Whoever puts all three boxes together has
instant and absolute control over everybody.
What he commands is done.
If I get the other two boxes
out of the palace,
Richard could put them
together and command Denna
to give our mother this Breath of Life.
The magic of Orden is too dangerous.
It would intoxicate whoever wielded it,
corrupt him.
Then we go ahead with the deal.
No.
We grieve for Taralynn, get Jennsen and
the box as far away from here as possible.
Denna still needs us as much as we need her.
She knows she won't get the box
if we don't get Taralynn alive.
You would send your sister
into the belly of the beast?
You would leave your daughter to die?
Yes.
Yes, I would.
Jennsen, dear one, for 23 years I built walls
against the pain of losing your mother.
And now with you before me,
all those walls are crumbling.
I've only just found out
I have a granddaughter.
I can't bear the thought of losing her, too.
You won't lose me, grandfather.
The People's Palace is surrounded by
a tree line that acts as a magical barrier.
Only those who have been spelled
by Rahl's sorcerers
can pass in and out of the barrier
without being instantly killed by it.
Richard will have to wait
for you on the other side.
There will be alarms,
but you won't set them off.
Just make sure the archers patrolling
the battlements don't see you.
They shoot on sight.
There is a secret entrance on the South end
of the palace that leads to an escape tunnel.
As Lord Rahl's personal bodyguard,
only the Mord Sith know of its existence.
You'll see the opening,
but make sure no one is watching you.
Because what they will see is
someone walking through a solid wall.
Follow the tunnel to the staircase.
At the top is a archway
guarded by a lone sentry.
He passes every ninety seconds.
Wait until he goes by,
and then run straight ahead to the
entrance to Rahl's ceremonial chamber.
Rahl trusts no one, so there are no
living guards watching over the chamber itself.
It's protected only by magic.
The final magical shield,
the one closest to the boxes,
allows only Rahl himself to get through.
Of course, you're the exception.
But be careful.
Even if you make it past all
the shields and guards,
Darken Rahl has an uncanny ability
to sense when things are awry.
Lord Rahl, Mistress Denna has
sent word by journeybook.
She'll arrive by nightfall tomorrow
with the third Box of Orden.
Tell her she will be greeted with the
strumming of harps and the blast of trumpets.
You doubt her, My Lord?
I doubt the very sun at noon, Egremont.
Zedd, Kahlan!
We have the boxes!
Thank the spirits.
I was caught in a room with Rahl.
I was this close to him.
He picked up the boxes,
he held them, he caressed them.
Imagine his surprise the next time
he drops in to play with his toys.
Look!
We have to give the third box to Denna.
It's right here.
Welcome back, Seeker.
You've succeeded of course.
I thought we had a deal.
I've changed my mind.
I've decided I want all three boxes.
Now.
We don't have all three.
Only two.
We have hidden the third.
Tell me where it is
or I'll kill your loved ones,
one by one.
And then it'll just be you and me.
Do you think I would ever let you
have the power of Orden?
At any price?
Yes, because you'd rather
I had the power than Rahl.
I'd treat you kindly.
I'd give you whatever you wanted,
or I could take away
what you care about most.
Take the Confessor first.
Wait!
At least grant me the governorship
over to the lands west of the river Dram,
where I can live with my friends in peace.
What better governor could I
ask for than the Seeker?
Then I'll show you where the third box is.
No!
Kill them all!
Stop!
Drop your weapons.
All of you.
Take us to our mother.
Yes, My Lord.
The sun isn't up yet.
You said you could revive her.
That was before I was
under your command, My Lord.
I lied to you.
I knew she'd never last until sunrise.
I'm sorry, My Lord.
I've failed you.
Mother
No
Richard, I'm so sorry.
What are we going to do with her?
Kill her.
Slowly.
If that is your wish, My Lord.
Richard, no.
Harder.
The way of the Seeker is not vengeance.
Not vengeance, justice.
Are you sure you can tell
one from the other?
You gave me the third box.
To stop Denna from killing us all!
Why should it stop there?
Don't you see what happens now?
Now I go to the People's Palace,
I order Rahl to fall on my sword.
I'll punish the guilty
and liberate the Midlands.
The war is over.
I've won.
Not this way.
You'd only become the very tyrant
who would've killed-
Silence, old man!
You've all killed innocent people.
And now you will kill each other.
Pick up your weapons
and fight to the death.
Zedd, anyone left standing,
burn him to ash.
Yes, My Lord.
Jennsen, no
I may have only just met you, brother,
but I know this isn't you.
Don't touch the boxes.
Magic doesn't work on me.
Not even the magic of Orden.
No!
What did I do?
It wasn't you,
it was the power of Orden.
Richard,
finish me off.
Before Darken Rahl finds me.
No.
Enough killing.
Please.
Leaving me to Darken Rahl
is worse than killing me.
Then I suggest you run.
You can't come with us, Jennsen.
It's too dangerous.
Now that I've found you,
I want to stay with you and help you.
And so you shall, child.
In your possession, the Boxes of Orden
can never be found by magical means.
And since they should
always remain separated,
you'll take two,
and we'll protect the third.
Where will I keep them?
We have friends in the resistance
who will take you in.
Friends who we trust
with our own lives.
And when all this is over,
we'll come see you again.
And be together as a family.
I'll escort you to our friends,
while Richard and Kahlan try to find out
where Rahl was going next.
Because rest assured
he won't be staying in the palace.
May the spirits light your way
through the Land of Shadow
to the Hearts of Eternal Peace.
She brought us all together in the end.
Come closer.
Closer.
Tell me,
what do you see?
The pristinely ungifted one
is on their side now.
Issue a proclamation.
Let it be known throughout
the three territories
that until the wizard,
the Seeker, the Mother Confessor
and all three boxes of Orden
are brought to me,
the people will feel my wrath.
One village at a time.
Zedd?
Yes?
What I did-
That wasn't you.
Man doesn't possess the power of Orden so much
as the power of Orden possesses the man.
No, it was me.
I felt that anger, that hatred
I still do.
If not didn't,
you'd be a statue, not a man.
We all have dark desires,
yearning for vengeance.
And you must remember how those
feelings stirred your blood.
'Cause what marks the line between good
from evil is the choice not to act on them.
A choice you've always made
since I've known you,
and I've known you since
the day you were born.
Can I call you "gramps"?
Not if you value your life.
Do you remember once when I was little?
I climbed the wall of your garden,
stole some apples from the big tree
and you came outside,
and I thought for sure
the crazy chicken man of Blackthorne Hill
would eat me for lunch.
But you just stood there, staring.
I was drinking in the sight
of my beautiful grandson.
You ran off so fastquickly,
over the wall and down the hill
So much time lost, Richard.
So many left unsaid.
I never even got to talk to my mother.
Then let me tell you about her.
