All language subtitles for Legend of the Seeker [01x10] Sacrifice

Admit it. We're lost.

No, we're not. The Naveer Pass
is just beyond that ridge.

Hey, Wizard, you know what
power I wish you had?

The power to admit when you're wrong.

Right now I'd settle
for a silencing spell.

At the next tavern, we're
asking for directions.

- Kahlan.
- Wait.

Kahlan Amnell?

Who's there?

Mother Confessor.

My dear Kahlan, I knew
Mira would lead us to you.

Serena?

Zeddicus Zu'I Zorander.
My old friend.

Mother Confessor?
This is Richard Cypher.

The Seeker of Truth.

This is truly an honor.

Erin. Tara.

Alana.

I thought you were all in hiding.

We were.

But Darken Rahl's spies were
more insidious than we thought.

They uncovered our houses of refuge.

There's no safety for Confessors
in the Midlands anymore.

That's why we've been searching
for you, Kahlan.

We must leave until the
time of Rahl's defeat.

We have no choice but to
seek sanctuary in Valeria.

Valeria?

It's an island, hidden by magic.
Far off the coast.

So you're fleeing?

Only temporarily.

When Rahl is vanquished we will return.

But Mother Confessor, we're the
source of justice in the Midlands.

The people need us now more than ever.

Rahl wants a world without justice.

And by killing us, he'll get it.

We wanted to give you the
opportunity to join us.

You know I can't abandon my mission.

I expected so.

But the decision needed to be yours.

Mother Confessor, we
need to keep moving.

Rahl's quads are tracking us.

We've managed to stay ahead of them,
but we can't let our guard down.

We'll escort you to the coast.

Will the other Confessors meet us there?

There are no other Confessors, Kahlan.

We are all that's left.

Are you sure leaving the
Midlands is the right thing to do?

Isn't it time for Confessors
to stand and fight?

We did.

We made our stand at
the Temple of Rondaxe.

The quads blocked all the doors.

There was no way out.

We fought well, but there were too many.

Demmin Nass has begun taking trophies.

I'm so sorry.

I'm far better than most.

Before they could take
my other hand, or worse,

Mother Confessor saved me.

What is it?

Someone's coming.

I guess those quads weren't
as far away as we'd hoped.

Stay where you are!

Wait.

Please, I'm not here to harm you.

Who are you?

My name is Finn.
I'm looking for Dennee.

My sister?

What do you want with her?

I've been searching for months.

A few weeks ago I heard Confessors
were nearby. Please, I have to find her.

She's dead.

My mistress is dead?

Your mistress?

If she's dead,
how will I know what to do?

Kahlan, this man is still
under confession.

How is that possible?

I thought the only way
the spell is broken is...

Is when a Confessor dies.

That means Dennee is still alive.

But when I left her...

Dennee.

Take it. Take the Book.

Find him.

I'm not leaving you.

This is more important
than me. You know that.

Please, Kahlan.

May the Spirits protect you, little sister

Go.

She... She must have
survived somehow.

Rahl must have her.

We know what he does to Confessors.

Which is why we can't
risk going after her.

What?

Mother Confessor is right.

Kahlan, I loved your sister as if she
were my own, but it could be a trap.

Why would Rahl keep her alive
when he's killed so many others?

I've already left her behind once.

I won't do it again.

I know it's hard, but my duty is to ensure
the survival of the remaining Confessors.

Just as your duty is to protect
the Seeker on his mission.

Right now...

my mission is to find Kahlan's sister.

But Dennee could be anywhere.

Mira could find her.

Dennee was willing to
sacrifice her life for me.

No doubt she'd do the
same for any of you.

How can we not even try to save her?

We should make camp here.

Kahlan tells me you fought
bravely at the battle of Rondaxe.

Perhaps I can give you back
a little of what you've lost.

I...

I don't believe it.

Thank you.

Still as powerful as I rember.

I'm just sorry I wasn't powerful enough...

to stop Darken Rahl before
he decimated your Order.

When I was just an acolyte, and
you took me under your wing...

Do you rember what you told me?

You said that real power was not
just in the magic that we wield...

it was in our ability to
make difficult choices.

And leaving behind everything and everyone
couldn't have been easy for you, Zeddicus.

But if you hadn't, the Seeker
would not have been named...

and there would be no
hope for the Midlands.

I don't understand why Dennee
never told me about you.

How did you come to know my sister?

I tried to kill her.

I was an assassin from the Order of Blood,
and sent by Darken Rahl to murder her.

During the battle, I
was confessed by her.

I haven't seen her in months.

Dennee told me she had to
undertake a delicate mission.

She promised she'd return
to me when it was done.

She would've kept that promise
if I hadn't left her for dead.

Kahlan! Hey, hey.
We're going to find her. Okay?

- What's she saying?
- It's Dennee. She's close.

A fortress.

It's not a fortress. It's a prison.

- And Dennee's inside.
- Dennee!

We can't just charge
into a D'Haran prison.

But a Mord-Sith could.

Zedd, Can you do a
little magic tailoring?

Sir.

A Mord-Sith approaches.

Tell your warden I have a
very special prisoner for him.

The Seeker?

You captured him single-handed?

You dare question a Mord-Sith?

Take me to the warden.

I have urgent intelligence from Lord Rahl.

Intelligence that must
be discussed in private.

Leave us.

So, what is this intelligence?

Command me, Confessor.

You have a prisoner I want to see.

Dennee.

Kahlan.

Yes, it's me little sister.

You came for me.

I should have never left you.

This is the Seeker.

Yes.

Then you completed the mission.

I feared you were dead.

Thank the Spirits you're not.

Are you all right?

Did they hurt you?

No.

But they're going to take my baby.

Dennee...

You're with child.

They mean to take my sister's child.

What do you know about this?

Darken Rahl wants to raise
a Confessor as his own.

To twist the child into a monster
that would do his bidding.

Can you walk?

I think so.

You should hurry.

General Nass rides for
the prison as we speak.

What's going on?

Prisoner transfer.

But my orders are to hold the Confessor
here until General Nass arrives.

Your orders have changed.

Our Dennee is safe.

Dennee!

By the Spirits, you're with child.

Is our baby all right?

Finn is the father?

Mother Confessor,
our numbers were dwindling.

And Finn was already confessed.

So I took him as a mate.

Finn is strong.

And with Rahl hunting Confessors,

I could think of no one
better to protect the child.

Joyous news.

Another Confessor will be born
just when we needed her most.

Dennee.

You must've known you were carrying
the baby when we set off for the Boundary.

Why didn't you tell me?

If you knew would you have let me
join you on such a perilous journey?

No, I wouldn't.

And I couldn't let you go alone.

We need to get moving.

The D'Harans will be coming after us.

General Nass, we received
orders not to expect you.

What orders?

General.

I have the orders right here.

Where is the prisoner?

It's being delivered to Rahl.

By whom?

By the Mord-Sith.

She had also captured the Seeker.

That was no Mord-Sith.

It was a Confessor.

Ready your men.

If you can deliver the Confessor's
child and the Seeker to Lord Rahl,

he may forgive your failure.

Isn't there a shorter route to the west?

You smell that?

These are Thelusian pines.

They'll cover any scent from
us the D'Harans might pick up.

We'll be harder to track that way.

Good.

Because we may need to stop.

You're doing great!

I just need you to try again.

Come on.

Yes.

Keep breathing.

Dennee, the baby's in the wrong position.

What?

We need to turn the baby around.

I don't wanna lose my baby.

Your baby's going to be fine.
Let me try.

Have you done this before?

I grew up on a farm, remember?

Okay.

I don't wanna lose her.

Okay, Dennee, try now, push.

It's a boy.

What's wrong?

The child must die.

It's not your fault, Dennee.

It's no one's fault.

There's nothing you could've done
to prevent this.

Kahlan, what's going on?

We're going to need
Kreeg root for the ritual.

Will someone tell me
what's happening here?

Male Confessors can't be allowed to live.

Their souls must be purified
by the Ritual of the Waters...

before they pass to the underworld.

A ritual?, what are you talking about?

We have to drown the child.

That's insane.

A Confessor giving birth to a male child
is extraordinarily rare.

But if one is born, he cannot be
allowed to grow into adulthood.

Male Confessors are unable
to control their power.

Once they reach manhood,
they can't resist using it for wicked ends.

So they are killed at birth.

Your numbers are dwindling,

and now you want to kill one of your own
just because you think it might be evil?

Mothers of male Confessors
have often thought as you do.

One foolish young Confessor...

couldn't bear to have her son killed,

so she raised him in secrecy.

She thought that the love in her heart
would be powerful enough...

to prevent him from turning
to the dark ways.

But when the boy came of age,

his bloodlust was insatiable.

My child...

was only 11 years old...

when I had to kill him.

Well, just because it happened
with your son doesn't mean...

it's going to happen with Dennee's.

He's just a baby.

There's still time to watch him grow.

To know if he's gonna be evil or not.

Kahlan.

You can't go along with this.

You think this is easy for me?

This is my nephew.

Richard, I know that's it's hard
for you to understand, but...

ancient ways must be honored,

and the longer we allow
this child to live,

the harder it's going to be
to do what must be done.

Doing it now is a less cruel fate
for both the family and the child.

Finn will take the child and perform
the Ritual of the Waters.

Is there no other way?

You know there is not.

Get away from him.

You cannot wish evil away.

You cannot love evil away.

You can only destroy it.

You're not going to hurt this baby.

D'Harans.

They are close.

We need to move now.

I can get the D'Harans off our trail,
but you have to promise me...

nobody will harm this baby
while I'm gone.

Dala oil and Kreeg root.

The Ritual of the Waters.

The Confessor gave birth to a boy.

A female Confessor-child
was quite a prize,

but what Lord Rahl wouldn't give
for a male Confessor.

And if they are running from us, they
haven't had time yet to perform the ritual.

Sir.

Their tracks lead this way.

Follow them.

We must save that child.

Did you lose them?

They found the tracks I left.

They're heading in the wrong direction.

Good.

But they're not gonna give up so easily.

They know it's a boy.

And it seems Rahl really wants to
get his hands on a male Confessor.

It's the darkness reaching
for the darkness.

But he will not have it.

Where's the baby?

Finn's taken him.

You were supposed to keep him safe.

I'm sorry, Richard.
You don't understand.

You're right. I don't.
You promised me.

Because I knew you'd do anything
to protect the child.

And so should you.

Richard, letting him live would be a
violation of everything we're taught.

You can't ask me to go against my beliefs.

And you can't ask me to go against mine.

Finn, don't.

I can't disobey my mistress.

You have to do what your
mistress wants, right?

Yes.

She wants me to drown our son.

Are you sure that's what Dennee wants?

The Mother Confessor ordered her to do it.

Doesn't your mistress also
command you with her heart?

You heard her when she gave birth.

She didn't want her baby to die.

You know her heart better
than anyone, Finn.

You know what she wants.

She wants her baby...

to live.

I will protect him with my life.

You gave the child to the Seeker?

I thought that's what you'd want.

No, the child is evil and must die.

Then I have failed you.

Which way did the Seeker go?

To the north.

I can get him back.

No.

You' go with Alana.

Take Dennee and the
others to the shore.

The Wizard, Kahlan and I will
continue after the child.

Take Mira as your guide.

We will rejoin you at the shore
once we have the child.

Then we can complete the ritual
and sail to the island.

Mother Confessor, let me
go on to track Richard.

I'll move faster on my own.

Sir, we've lost their trail.

They can't have gotten far.

And for your sake, that child had
better be alive when we find them.

Okay.

It's okay.

We're safe now.

Everything's gonna be all right.

Stay away, Kahlan.

Richard, wait.

What are you planning on doing?

Just keep running with the child?

What your people want to do is barbaric.

I know it must seem that way,

but you have to understand...

that boy is a threat to everything
that we're fighting for.

How do you know that if none of
them have been allowed to live?

It's too dangerous to rely on hope.

Hope?

Isn't that what we're fighting for?

Kahlan.

I was a child that was hunted.

Darken Rahl tried to kill me because
of his blind faith in prophecy.

Are you asking me not
to believe in prophecy?

No, I'm asking you to believe in me.

He's hungry.

We need to find some food.

My father used to give this
to me when I was a baby.

There you go.

I thought you might like that.

Richard, what are we
gonna do with him?

Well, I was thinking.

Maybe we can take him to
the Valley of Thandor.

The duty of the Sisters of the Light is
to protect the children at Thandor.

They'd never take in a male Confessor.

No one will.

We're on our own, Richard.

You're never on your own.

Richard, wait.

We don't need to fight
amongst ourselves.

We have enough enemies already.

This baby isn't one of them.

But he could be.

Darken Rahl was once a child.

Think of all the death and
suffering he's caused.

If you had a chance to prevent that,
wouldn't you?

Inevitably, evil is in its nature.

Well, it's not in mine.

No one is going to hurt this baby.

Enough debate, Zeddicus.

If you can't control the Seeker, I will.

Is your devotion so great that you'd
threaten to confess the Seeker?

I have no intention
of confessing him.

Command me, Mother Confessor.

Zedd?

What have you done?

You have betrayed your Order, Kahlan.

Who are you to question my judgment,
when yours is so obviously...

impaired by your feelings for the Seeker?

You would forsake
everything you believe.

Everything you've lived for,
for a man who can never love you.

Zeddicus, get the boy.

Zedd, you can't do this!

You don't want to hurt us.

It's no use, Richard.

He's been confessed.

He's not Zedd anymore.

I don't wanna fight you, Zedd.

And he doesn't want
to fight you, Seeker.

Give me the child and you can
continue with your mission.

The mission?

You jeopardized that when you confessed
a Wizard of the First Order.

As soon as I have the child I will command
him to continue on as the Seeker's Wizard.

All will be as it was.

No.

Very well.

Make him leave.

Richard!

Mother Confessor, you're
going to kill him!

Kahlan, this has gone on long enough.

Your mission is to protect the Seeker.

You know as well as I his life is
more important than the child's.

So give him to me.

It shouldn't be a difficult
decision, Kahlan.

Saving the man you love.

Don't do it, Kahlan.

Kahlan, no.

It's okay, little one.

It'll all be over soon.

I'm sorry I went against your will
by trying to save our child.

I failed you.

No, you didn't fail me.

You were doing my will.

Dennee, you can't put
such ideas in his head.

Why not?

Mother Confessor
knows what must be done.

We cannot defy her.

Would you feel the
same if it were your child?

It has been done this
way for thousands of years.

There are only six of us left.

Do the ancient ways
still make sense?

I'm so sorry, Richard.

But I couldn't let them hurt you.

It's not your fault.

With Zedd confessed
and the Sword of Truth gone...

It's hopeless.

There's always hope.

We're too late, aren't we?

Mother Confessor has taken
the child to the shore to drown him.

Can we catch her in time?

She's confessed Zedd.

And taken the Sword of Truth.

What are we gonna do?

We're going to get some help.

The tracks end here.

Where did he go?

I'm right here.

I'm unarmed.

Then you are a fool.

Kahlan, now!

Command me, Confessor.

What is it, Mother Confessor?

The others.

They should already be here.

Someone's coming.

Stop them.

You'll never know how greatly
you've disappointed me, Kahlan.

I always thought that one day
you would be Mother Confessor.

How wrong I was.

You were taught all your life to know
the difference between right and wrong.

This child...

could destroy everything
we've been fighting for.

No, we're fighting for
a world with less brutality.

Would killing that child give us that?

Yes.

No!

Zedd?

Zedd.

Zedd!

Richard.

I'm just glad I didn't hurt you.

She dedicated her life to keep the Midlands
free from the tyranny of Darken Rahl.

For that she will be remembered.

Spirits, watch over her as she
has watched over so many.

We need to choose a Mother Confessor.

We already have.

It's you, Kahlan.

I'm... I'm honored but...

I must continue
to protect the Seeker.

Just as we must stay in the Midlands...

to protect the people
from Rahl's injustice.

Take Mira.

She will keep you safe.

Thank you for coming back for me.

I asked the Spirits to protect you,
and they did.

They'll be fine.

You said it yourself.

Dennee and Finn can't be confessed,
so their son's touch will have no effect.

He can't be seduced by his
own power if he's unable to use it.

Once they reach Valeria, there
won't be anyone to corrupt him.

With no one to corrupt him, they
can raise him to be a force for good.

But what if we're wrong?

What if we've unleashed
a horrible evil into the world?

What then?
