I'm taking breakfast to Evelyn,
she's still down with that bad leg.

- Will you be all right till I get back?
- I've got my accounts to finish.

That's not
what I'm talking about, Conor.

- I'm worried about you.
- You should be worried.

For your own safety, as well.

Make sure you stay
on the main roads today.

Don't you think it's possible
you're overreacting to all this?

There's two of us dead, Nella.

I don't care
if they looked like accidents.

Someone out there
is targeting the resistance.

When Kahlan gets here,
we'll find out who.

- Kahlan's coming?
- I sent an urgent message.

She'll show you
the truth of my words.

I don't need a Confessor to tell me
I should believe in my husband.

You've decided
where we're taking the box?

The one place in all the Midlands
where Rahl can't get into,

neither by spell nor by force,

is the Crypt of the Ancient Seeker
at Tavol'Rang.

And that's where we're headed,
with a detour to my home town,

- to pick up the key.
- Pack up. We need to go now.

Agreed. It's a day's walk to my house,
and three more to Tavol'Rang.

We need to go by way of East Marwen.

This message found its way to me
in the marketplace.

- Some friends of mine are in trouble.
- The entire Midlands is in trouble

if we don't get this box
locked away safe.

I know.

But the friend that sent that message
is a leader in the resistance.

He and his wife
risked their lives to hide me

when I was running from Aydindril
with The Book of Counted Shadows.

We'll just have to meet up
after you get the key.

Wait. You can't go alone.

He's right.

A Confessor can't travel
without her Seeker,

the Seeker can't travel
without his Confessor.

But who would trouble themselves

with an old man in a tattered cloak?

Thank you, Zedd.

I'll meet you in East Marwen,
the day after tomorrow,

with the key in my hand.

The box goes with me.

Too many D'Harans in these parts
on the lookout for the Seeker.

Conor?

Nella?

What's wrong?

I came as fast as I could...

Eternal darkness
upon the soul of whoever did this.

This is Constable Declan.
I sent for him.

You can speak freely,
he's one of us.

I'm Kahlan Amnell.

It's been a long time
since we had a Confessor in East Marwen.

You've come when you're most needed.

Richard Cypher.

It is an honor beyond words
to meet the Seeker,

though I wish
we met under happier circumstances.

Do you have any idea?

I can't bring Conor back,

but I swear to you
on my power as a Confessor...

I will bring whoever killed him
to justice.

Conor knew he was in danger.

The message said that two of the men
in your group were already dead.

We believe they were murdered
by traitors in league with the D'Harans.

One of the men
appeared to have taken his own life,

but there was no reason for him
to have done that.

The other was crushed under his wagon
while he was fixing a wheel,

but nobody saw it happen.

When was the last time
you saw your husband?

I left before breakfast.

The sun was just coming up.

I spent the morning with a friend,

she's been sick,
and when I came back,

the place was torn apart, and I...

Was anything missing?

Just his inkwell.

The golden one his father gave him,

and a silver bowl
he kept on his desk.

The sick friend you visited,

- does she live near a marsh?
- No, a meadow.

Why?

It's just these seeds,

they're still green, newly fallen,

from a stalk of Kindon grass
and it only grows in marshes.

There's just one marsh around here.

I've never been to Conor's house
in my life.

- Are you sure about that?
- I'm sure.

I stay close to home.

So you wouldn't know anything
about a mysterious highwayman

who roams the roads at night,
robbing travelers?

A man like that
might even be capable of murder.

- I wouldn't know anything about that.
- Would you know anything about this?

Kindon seeds.

They were found
on the floor of Conor's home.

The only Kindon grass in East Marwen

grows in the marsh
next to your property.

Where were you this morning,
Niles, around sunrise?

I was...

in the woods.

Hunting.

You can't lie to a Confessor, Niles.

Never been to Conor's house,
have you?

Declan, what are you doing?

I'm sorry, Luna.

Conor Greenleaf is dead.

By your brother's hand.

- Niles would never...
- Don't make this harder than it is.

My brother is not a murder.

Let him go.

He won't tell me anything.

We need to know
the full truth of his crimes,

so the people know
justice has been done.

Will you Confess him?

What if you're wrong,
and he's innocent?

He'll lose his mind, his will,

- for nothing.
- I can tell he's lying.

In Westland,
we have judges and counsels,

we make sure somebody is guilty
before we punish them.

Counsels,

no matter how wise, make mistakes.

Confessors don't.

It's three murders.

We owe it to Conor,

and we owe it to the resistance.

I got you.

Tell me what happened
when Conor was killed.

It was the morning.

Early in morning.

I went to his house...

I'm sorry I lied to you, Confessor.

I killed him

and I took the bowl

and the inkwell.

Do you know anything
about the deaths of Conor's two friends?

Did anyone help you?
Are you working with the D'Harans?

Nobody helped me.

Please, don't hate me.

Please.

Go with them peacefully.

Accept your fate with dignity.

Under the power of a Confessor,

Niles Braggindor has admitted
to taking the life of Conor Greenleaf.

He will be punished

in accordance with the laws
of the Midlands and East Marwen.

We're lucky you came and you did.

Justice is uneasy to come by
these days.

I'm sorry for your loss.

I loved Conor like a brother.

I know you did too.

Thank you for helping me
bring his killer to justice.

This town is lucky to have you.

Conor risked his life
thousands of times fighting for freedom,

and then he dies
in a common robbery.

That still doesn't explain
the other two deaths.

Constable!

I've been robbed.

Sit down, I'll find you a healer.

I don't need to sit,

I need to find the thief
who stole everything I own.

- Where did this happen?
- Two hour's ride north of here,

just after sunrise. A highwayman
put a blade to my throat.

I tried to fight him off,
but he was too strong.

Why don't you come into my chambers?
You can describe him.

I don't need to describe him.
He's right in front of me.

Impossible.

Niles was here
in East Marwen at sun up,

taking the life of another man.

I'm telling you,

he's the one who robbed me.

If that's true,
we just executed an innocent man.

Thaddicus.

- Good day to you.
- Thaddicus, it's me. Zedd.

Of course it is.

It's only been 23 years,
how could I forget?

There was no way for me
to send word.

I was on the other side of the Boundary,
in the Westland.

I'm sure you had magical business
of earth-shattering importance there.

I did.

Thaddicus, is Mother...?

Here?

Of course she is.

Where else would she be?

Come,
she'll be overjoyed to see you.

When?

Five years ago.

Your name on her lips.

Where's my Zeddicus?

Why didn't my Zeddicus
ever come home?

You look like
something the dog rolled around in.

Come in and have something to eat.

And a bath.

A highwayman
had a knife to your throat.

You were frightened.

Of course I was frightened.

- But I know what I saw.
- I know, I know.

Identical beard, similar clothes.

Don't forget his eyes.

His eyes.

You were looking into his eyes.

Just looking into mine
for the past quarter hour.

So what color are they?

My eyes?

Grey.

Blue, actually.

Amazing how the mind
plays tricks under pressure, isn't it?

Or...

someone paid you to come here
and say all this.

- And stab me?
- A warning,

of what they might do
if you don't play along.

That man robbed me.

When you confess someone,

they fall in love with you.

Are you sure
that once Niles was confessed,

he didt just tell you
what he thought you wanted to hear?

The confessed
can't lie to a Confessor, ever,

for any reason.

What did they take from you?

A bag of silver.
All my tools.

And a bracelet
I was bringing to my wife.

Green stones in a gold circlet,
with rubies along the edge.

You're lying.

What are you going to do,
confess me so you can prove that?

Your confessions
aren't all that reliable.

Did you say green stones
in a gold circlet?

What about them?

That's it.
That's my bracelet.

Where did you get that?

My brother gave it to me.

When?

- This morning.
- Right after he stole it from me.

He stole it from you this morning?

Around sunrise?

Then he couldn't have killed Conor.

My brother may have been a thief,

but he was no murderer.

You killed him.
He didn't have to die.

Calm down, Luna.

Calm down.

Are you proud of yourself,
Confessor?

You murdered my brother

as sure as you drove
a stake into his heart.

I'm sorry, Nella.

Niles didn't kill Conor.

He was robbing a man
when your husband died.

You confessed him.

He said he did it.

I don't understand.

Neither do I.

If Niles was innocent,

then why were Conor's things
in his house?

And how did those seeds
get on my floor?

We're searching for answers.

We don't have them yet.

Maybe we do.

Unless a man
can be in two places at once,

then the whole thing is crazy

and every time something crazy
happens in the Midlands,

there's always one thing behind it:

magic.

I'm right about this. Is there anyone
in East Marwen who has magic?

There's a man up in the caves
who claims to be a sorcerer.

An innocent man is dead,
because of me.

It's not your fault.

It couldn't be.

Maybe somebody's doing
something to you.

Maybe it's Darken Rahl,
maybe he's...

Nobody...

Not even a Wizard of the First Order

has magic powerful enough
to work against a Confessor's.

There's something wrong with me.

Listen.

There is an explanation for all this
and we'll find it.

I know you.

And who you are is more
than some magical power you have.

Go! He's getting away.

I'm going to pull it out.

You have to go. Now.

- I'm not leaving you.
- I'll go into town, I'll get Declan.

You have to catch him.

Go. I can walk. Now.

Luna.

You're a fine cook, Thaddicus.

- Don't patronize me.
- I'm not patronizing you.

You always had a gift
in the kitchen.

Your vegetables, so fresh and crisp.

As opposed to...

May the Spirits forgive me.
Mother's.

Remember those carrots?

Paste.

I gagged every time.

Twenty-three years, Zedd.

Twenty-three years.

Your room's just as you left it.

I go in every now and then,

make sure the mice
haven't brought the place to ruin.

Just passing through, is it?

I came for something very important.

What a surprise.

Zeddicus shows up
because he needs something.

And what is it this time?
Night Stones?

Sorcerer's Sand?

Well, you're too late.
I sold it all years ago.

You didn't sell what I came for.

The key to the Crypt of Tavol'Rang.

That was the first thing to go.

Have any idea what you've done?

Our family
always protected that key.

It was a sacred vow our ancestors

made to the First Order of Wizards.

Here's the truth of the situation,
brother: I'm not a Wizard.

As you never 00:21:31,215
You know as well as I do
that not every child inherits the power.

I am not going to apologize
for the ways of fate.

So the way you lorded me, that...
That was fate?

How you left me to do the kitchen chores
cause you were meant for greater things?

The way it was always
"Run off and play, Thaddicus,"

while Father gave his precious time
to the training of the great Zeddicus?

Memories are slippery things,

but the crack of Father's stick
across my knuckles is hard to forget.

You need the key?

Why don't you use your mystical powers
to conjure it?

You always loved showing off your magic
to your poor, powerless brother.

You know it doesn't work that way.

Wherever you went,
you should have stayed there.

That key was not yours to sell.

You were always like that,

no thought of anything
beyond the next penny in your pocket.

I'll bet all the jewels in Tamarang

that whatever you sold it for
went straight to the gaming tables.

Be sure to bolt the door
on your way out.

Did you see who it was?

He was just a cloak in the shadow.

Are you sure it was a he?

Luna's out of her mind with rage,

most of it directed at you.

Her father made his living as a hunter,
just like Niles.

The girl knows
how to use a crossbow.

- We need to go her cabin.
- I don't think you're ready.

I've had worse. We're going. Now.

What happened?

I killed her.

I tracked Luna to the house.

I mean, I knew it was Luna
when I saw the cloak and crossbow.

And then...

And then what?
You saw the crossbow...

I heard a noise. It was Luna.

She attacked me,
so I defended myself.

She scratched at my neck.

She was defenseless.

- I didn't have to hurt her.
- Please,

don't hurt me.

But I killed her anyway.

I don't believe
that you killed that woman.

Look at me.

The Richard I know risks his life
every day for others.

You wouldn't kill a defenseless woman,
I know you.

I did it, Kahlan. I remember it.

Just like Niles
remembered killing Conor.

Maybe his memories weren't real,
and neither are yours.

You said that magic
had to be behind all this.

Well, now I'm starting to agree.

We need to go find that sorcerer.

Well, I hope you're right.

'Cause right now,
I don't trust myself.

What if I do
something like that again?

You won't.

Because I'll be with you.
Every second.

What did you come back for,

another magical treasure
for one of your schemes? Well, go away.

I lost them all at cards.

No more waiting, Zorander.

One hundred gold pieces.

You only won 70 off me.

The extra 30
is the price of my patience.

I haven't got any.
I can't pay you.

You're gonna pay. Slowly.

If I can't get my money,

then I'll just have to have some fun
with you instead.

If you ever dare
to show your face to my brother, ever,

you'll wish
I had burned you to cinders.

Now get out.

Why'd you come back?

I got about a league from here
when my temper cooled and I realized...

The task that calls me away
is a grave one, Thaddicus.

The chance
that I will not return alive is...

Is great.

I didn't want to go to the Shadows
knowing that my last words

to the only brother I have
in all the world were

unkind

and unfair.

Now let's get you cleaned up.

You look like one of Mother's turnips
after an hour in the pot.

Besides,

I always did love

showing off my powers.

You're the only sorcerer
anywhere near this village.

Do you know anything
about these murders?

Were they your doing?

He's telling the truth.

And I'm really more
of a sorcerer-in-training, anyway.

I've been studying magic books
my whole life,

I've learned a few minor tricks, things
you can do with powders and potions.

- You don't have any powers?
- That doesn't mean I can't help you.

My knowledge in the field
is quite extensive.

You say these victims
believe they did something they didn't?

They don't just believe...

they actually see themselves
doing it in their heads.

Shared visions.

Memory magic.

I've read something about that in...

here.

There are accounts

of an ancient device

that produces the effect
you speak of.

Here we go.

Azzallel's Orb.

Azzallel was a fantastically
gifted wizard.

His wife gave birth
to a blind daughter.

Azzallel tried but failed

to manifest new eyes
for his baby girl.

So instead, he created a way

of plucking visions from his head

and placing them inside hers.

Azzallel's Orb was stolen

200 years ago
and believed to be lost forever.

Hello, Bosin.

Still stealing money
from old ladies?

I found something.

When we were searching Luna's cabin,

one of my men pulled this scorched paper
from her fireplace.

There's handwriting there,

but I can't make it out.
Maybe you'll have better luck.

No luck required.

This I can help you with.

May I?

Dust of a Shadrin's thigh bone.

Like I said,

a few minor tricks.

"Dearest Luna.

"I can't meet you tonight.

"I think my wife knows.

"Missing you desperately. Conor."

Conor and Luna were lovers?

If Nella knew about that,

she'd have a good reason
to kill her husband...

and Luna.

My husband is dead.

Why are you doing this to me?

Did you kill Conor and Luna?

And then gave the memories
of what you did to Niles.

And me.

I'm sorry.

Where is it, Nella?

Where's the orb?

I told Conor I was leaving
to take breakfast to a sick friend.

But I didn't make it very far.

After I killed Conor,

I gathered seeds
from the grasses near Niles' cabin

and scattered them around the body.

Then I ransacked my house
and hid our possessions in Niles' cabin.

All that was left was to put the visions
of what I did into Niles' head.

And the memories Richard
has of murdering Luna?

Right after I killed her,

Richard came running
into the cabin from the woods.

How could I have done such a thing?

It's time to go, Nella.

And lemon cake, my own creation.

You know,
you could make a living at this.

An honest one.

Patronize me again,
you'll get a pack full of sand.

Where to now?

The less you know about where I'm going,
and why, the better, for your own sake.

I know I'm guilty
of occasional self-importance,

but in this case,

the fate of the world
actually may depend

on the success of the errand
that calls me.

In that case...

you'll need this.

The key to the Crypt of Tavol'Rang.

You had it all along?

Of course.

Mother would've come back
from the grave

swinging that iron skillet if I'd let it
out of my sight for a second.

How could you put me
through such a thing?

I was angry

that you came home
for something you needed...

and not to see me.

I needed to see you too.

- How are you feeling?
- Like I killed an innocent woman.

I still keep seeing her die.

Hearing her screams.
Feeling her blood on my hands.

I loved Conor and Nella.

They would've given
their lives for me.

They almost did.

To lose them over this?

Over jealousy and anger.

You don't have to watch.

The other two who died,

I'd like to talk to their families,
see if there's anything you didn't find.

I'll take you to them, after.

Don't worry,

Conor's work will go on here,

no matter what.

Are you all right?

When you described Luna's attack,
you said she was scratching you, right?

She went after my face...
Well, Nella's.

She scratched me right here.
Hurt like a stinging nettle.

I just saw three deep scratches
in that exact spot on Declan's neck.

- What are you saying?
- It's no coincidence.

Luna scratched her attacker. And whoever
attacked her committed all the murders.

Nella Greenleaf will now
be consigned to the Shadows,

in accordance with the laws
of the Midlands and East Marwen.

- Wait!
- Stop!

- Lower the door.
- He killed Conor! He killed them all!

Now!

No.

I'm not with the resistance

I've been killing
off the resistance.

Why?

I believed in Darken Rahl.

That he would protect us.

You had to know that killing Conor
would draw attention.

I had no choice.

Conor was growing suspicious of me.

When he told me he sent for your help,
I had to act quickly.

The hard part

was making the murder
look like Niles did it.

Where did you get Azzallel's Orb?

From my father.

It's belonged to my family
for hundreds of years.

It's a wonderful device,

really.

All you have to do

is think of what you want
the other person to remember

and the orb does the rest.

Everything was perfect,

until the man Niles robbed
on the road showed up,

after Niles was

hanged.

And then you

kept asking questions.

With a Confessor around,
I knew I'd never be safe.

So I tried to kill you.

And with the Seeker tracking me,
I knew I had to cover my tracks.

I ran straight to Luna's.

Don't hurt me.

So you're the one
who knocked me out?

I put the memory of Luna's murder
into your head.

It seemed like the best plan
at the time.

What I didn't count on

was the Confessor fighting
for your innocence.

That's when I gave Nella
the memories of everything I did.

To make her the mastermind.

So Conor and Luna were never lovers?

I wrote that letter myself.

I knew the hermit had the power
to restore burned objects.

It's a trick he performs
at children's parties.

Did you kill the other two?

The suicide, and the accident?

Both of them.

I see the error of my ways now,
Confessor.

I only hope you allow me
to atone by serving your will

for the rest of my days.

My will

is that you die by nightfall.

But by then,
you'd better be a long way from here.

I sent word to the D'Harans
that the Seeker was in East Marwen.

They're on their way
from Fort Naramond, to take the Seeker.

They'll be here by sundown.

We should go.

There's still one thing
I need to do.

It wasn't your fault.

Declan had us all fooled.

I should have suspected him sooner.

At least you got justice
for my husband.

Anything you need.

Whenever you need it.

A remarkable story.

And a very powerful piece of magic.

I remember killing that woman
as clearly as I'm looking at you now.

No one should have to live
with a memory like that,

except a real killer.

I could use Azzallel's magic
here to pluck it from your mind.

I'd be very grateful.

Although Richard's probably
not the one who needs it most.

- Would you...?
- Absolutely not.

What I did really happened.

I'm not as infallible as I thought,

and it cost a man's life.
I don't ever want to forget that.

Things were never
this complicated in Westland.

You could always go back.

Not a chance.

On to new pressing matters...

The magical key
to the Crypt of Tavol'Rang.

You got it.

How was the visit with your family?

It was a visit with family.
