You broke the Three Oaths.

I've broken many more than that.

A thousand years ago,

a great king threatened
to burn the Tower

unless we bound ourselves
with the Oaths.

[laughs softly]

Our power didn't frighten him
as much as our humanity.

That's why the White Tower
has so many rules

really going on with the boy

or why you're really here.

But I know you, Moiraine.

Your whole life,

you've always known
what you wanted to do.

Yet now, I'm looking at you,

and I don't think
you have any idea

what you want to do next,

despite all this bluster.

Rand, he...

He needs protection.

And I don't know
whether I can provide it.

Not from what's chasing him.

And there's every chance
that you, Barthanes

and this entire city will be
caught in the crossfire

if I make the wrong choice.

You should have stayed away.

I know.

[inhales deeply, shudders]

I know.

When I was a little girl...

...I got an excellent piece
of advice once

from my very smart,

much older sister.

She told me that
if something is upsetting you

or making you afraid...

...you ask yourself

one simple question.

Is it true?

Can you know, beyond any doubt,

- that it's true?
- [sighs]

Can you know, beyond any doubt,

that Rand needs your protection?

[exhales sharply]

It was excellent advice,
wasn't it?

[exhales]

I've used it often
in the last 40 years.

Whatever danger you've unleashed

or encouraged...

...it means the world to
Barthanes that you've returned.

Even if you cannot stay.

Perhaps I can.

[Ishamael speaking Old Tongue] Are you playing
in my dreams again Lanfear?

[chuckling softly]

How'd you know?

Subtlety's never been
your strength.

[sighs]

[Lanfear] I just have
to pass the time here

while I'm waiting for someone
to get some shut-eye.

People blame us
for 'breaking the world'

but they didn't bother
to pick up the pieces.

Three thousand years later

- and they're still bashing about
- [pouring wine]

with swords and queens.

To the past.

To the future.

After our Great Lord's victory.

I assume

Rand learned the truth
about your innkeeper act.

How did you tell him?

I didn't.

Moiraine did.

I'm surprised you let her live
in the first place.

A dead Aes Sedai is useless.

And one without power isn't?

Desperation opens the mind
to more...

[chuckles softly]
...interesting choices.

As it did for you.

Mm.

Aren't you worried
I'll betray you?

Will you?

Obviously.

[both chuckle]

[gulping]

[glass clinks]

Do you know why the Great Lord
woke me first?

Why he speaks only to me?

Because...

Moghedien's insane,

Graendal's a vain idiot

and the boys
couldn't execute a plan

even if they were
under Compulsion.

[chuckles softly]

Because,

alone of all the Chosen...

...I actually believe
in the Dark.

I believe the only way
to stop all this suffering...

...is to stop the Wheel itself.

Stop everything.

So why release me?

Because I know what you want.

What you've always wanted.

[Lanfear] You're getting better

in the dream world.

I've had nothing if not time.

How does the current Dragon
measure up to his predecessor?

[Lanfear] Rand is...

softer.

Takes no pride in his birthright
and rejects his own power.

And what about the girls?

Is your little Aes Sedai
pushing them along their way?

I've only just collected them.

But one craves power

and the other one fears it.

And the boys?

Well, Mat was born mine,

and Perrin will soon be
more wolf than man.

What do you think
Rand will do when he sees

his friends are all lost?

He will break.

[Da'covale] [muffled] My lord.

Time for you to go.

My lord.

I'm sorry, my lord.

The High Lord Turak wishes
an audience with you.

Mm.

[Turak] You are not
of the Blood.

[Ishamael] I am not.

[Turak] Or even of our land.

Where is it that you're from?

No Westlander has ever set foot
on our shores.

I left my home so long ago,

I barely remember it.

And yet you've moved quickly
in our society.

Appearing seemingly out
of nowhere in Suroth's court.

And it was you, was it not,

who first saw the omens

that led us to begin the Return
to our ancient homeland?

[Ishamael] My lord,

my eyes are too low
to see such things.

Only our empress,

in her Court of the Nine Moons,

can see and know the omens
for what they are.

With this...

...you've earned my notice.

You may ask one thing of me.

The High Lady Suroth
has a gift for you.

I beg only you receive it
in good faith.

[rattling]

[inhales sharply]

[shuddering]

[inhales sharply]

[shuddering]

Elayne?

[inhales deeply]

[loud banging]

[shuddering]

[breathing heavily]

Who are you?

Ryma,

of the Yellow Ajah.

And my Warder found you
just in time.

The High Lady Suroth
has put out your descriptions,

and everyone in this city
is looking for you.

Do you have any idea

what these Seanchan do
to women who can channel?

[jangling]

- [grunts]
- [jangling]

I have brought you a gift,
my lord.

[grunts, panting]

[grunts]

She was a novice

being trained
at the White Tower.

My sul'dam say
she has more power

than any damane
we've seen in a very,

very long time.

[Turak's Voice] Collar her.
She must be tamed.

[grunting]

[Egwene panting]

[groans]

[screaming]

[gasping]

[panting]

What is it?

Are you sure you don't want
to get some sleep?

Time to go?

No, actually.

We're staying.

You said I can't sleep
or she'll find me.

Yes.

She will.

You want her to.

She's been with you, what,
two, three months now?

If she wanted to hurt you,
she's had ample opportunity.

But she hasn't.

What does she want?

I don't know.

If you'd asked me
a few days ago,

I would've said she wanted me.

To be with me.

Stories from before the Breaking
are vague,

because so much has been lost.

But every single one
that mentions Lanfear agrees

that she loved
the Dragon Reborn.

And that he loved her,

before he met his wife.

But she was a Darkfriend.

Only after he broke her heart.

She swore her oaths to the Dark
to try to get him back.

And, what, you want
to make her think she has?

You want me to pretend
to be in love with a Forsaken?

Lanfear is working
with Ishamael.

This could be our only chance
to find out what he wants.

- She'll see right through it.
- Maybe.

Maybe. She might.

I don't know.

Whatever she is, I don't think
everything between us was a lie.

It's your choice, Rand.

I mean that this time.

I'll stay here.

If it seems
as if she's hurting you...

...I'll wake you.

And if you fall asleep?

You're exhausted.

I don't have that option.
