All language subtitles for 1080p Legend of the Seeker S02E11 Torn 10bit

ZEDD:
Richard Cypher,
you are the true Seeker.

( heroic theme playing )

If the compass continues
pointing us south,

we'll go right past
the Falls of Aldermont.

Is that someplace important?

It's considered
the most romantic spot

in all the Midlands.

Many a child was conceived
beneath those cascading waters.

I was there once.
It's beautiful.

Oh, really?
And who were you with?

My sister.

At sunset,
when the light hits the falls,

the water glistens red.

They say it's the reflection
of all the lovers' hearts

who've kissed there.

That or a reflection
of the blood spilled

at the Battle of Aldermont.

Two hundred men were
killed in that spot.

The rest threw their bodies
into the rapids

rather than surrender.

Well, that does sound romantic.

( chuckles )
If we move fast,

we can get there
in time to see the sunset.

( ominous theme playing )

CARA:
These men were tortured.

Not very inspired work.

RICHARD:
Looks like they died
before they hung.

Then why hang them?

Whoever did this wanted
to put them on display

to send a message.

ZEDD:
"Whoever attempts
to subvert justice

shall meet the same fate."

Kahlan, take a look at this.

It's the seal of Aydindril.

"By order
of the High Lord Regent."

Who's that?

There's no such title.

The only person
with the authority

to confer this seal
is the Mother Confessor.

Then who ordered
these men killed?

( dramatic theme playing )

MAN:
I can pay you
15 gold pieces now.

I'll have the rest soon,
I promise.

Please, Lord Regent,

give me a little more time.

You've had more than a month.

It's been difficult
for me to find work

since you cut off my hand.

Your hand was removed

as punishment
for stealing grain.

Times were hard after the war.

My family needed food.

You were tried fairly
and found guilty.

In accordance with the law,
you lost your hand.

Wasn't that punishment enough?

For theft?

But to steal that grain,

you also trespassed
on Olrich Larson's land.

Should that crime
simply go unpunished?

If the Council and the Mother
Confessor were here,

they would never allow--

But they aren't here, are they?

Please.

Have mercy...

( scoffs )

I'm showing you mercy, Shaun.

Fifty gold pieces
and you can go home.

I don't have it.

Please don't take my other hand.

Oh, I'm not going
to take your other hand.

Tomorrow at dawn,
cut off his head.

No! No!

No, please don't kill me! No!

No!

My family will starve!
Don't do this!

You see why I asked you to come.

I only wish I could
have gotten here sooner.

Fyren's army
is occupying the city.

The people are afraid
to oppose him.

Even a Wizard of the Second
Order might find himself

swinging from a noose

if he tried to use
magic to stop him.

I need your help.

What about Oloron's Amulet?

Fyren has it locked
in the treasury

with a dozen men guarding it.

I'll get it.
FYREN: The next prisoner.

There are not many Wizards
left in this world, Silas.

Going in there would--
Would be tantamount

to signing your own
death warrant.

And how many more
death warrants will be signed

if we don't bring the Mother
Confessor back to Aydindril?

( dramatic theme playing )

( chatter )

Halt, Wizard.

Halt or I'll shoot.

( chanting in ancient tongue )

( grunting )

CARA:
Richard, those bodies we found
were at least two days old.

Whoever killed those
men is long gone.

( rumbling )

Silas.
You know him?

He's a Wizard of the Second
Order from Aydindril.

Cara.

CARA:
He's already cold.

The Breath of Life
won't work.

You can put your weapons down.

Whoever shot him
couldn't follow him here.

He used this.

Oloron's Amulet.

What is it?

A magical device
that's kept in Aydindril.

It was devised hundreds
of years ago as a safeguard.

If the Mother Confessor
were urgently needed,

a skilled Wizard
could use the amulet

to find her anywhere
in the world

and carry them both home.

He must have been
shot in Aydindril.

It seems he managed
to recite the incantation

just before he died.

He came here
to tell you something.

It must have been important.

My guess is
it has something to do

with this "High Lord Regent"
who ordered those men killed.

I have to get to Aydindril.

That's hundreds
of leagues from here.

Zedd, can you use that amulet
to get us there?

Its magic is only strong enough

to transport a Wizard
and a Confessor.

Then we'll meet
up with you there.

ZEDD:
That could take weeks.

Every day the quest is delayed,
the Keeper grows stronger.

You and Cara continue the search
for the Stone of Tears

while Kahlan
and I go to Aydindril.

The Seeker needs his Wizard
and his Confessor by his side.

If we leave him again--

After we killed Darken Rahl,

you should have gone
back to Aydindril then,

but instead,
you came with me.

The quest was more important.

The quest is my burden.

I've kept you away from
your home long enough.

My home is with you.

We've been apart before.

We always find our way
back to each other.

( soft theme playing )

( Zedd chanting
in ancient tongue )

I wish I didn't have to go.

( rumbling )

Kahlan?

What--? What happened?

Why am I still here?

And where's Zedd?

How do you feel?

All in one piece.

I wish I could say
the same for the amulet.

At least it got
us here safely.

It's good to be home.

If Zedd got to Aydindril

and realized I wasn't with him,

he'd come back for me.
RICHARD: Maybe he can't.

I have a feeling
Zedd got to Aydindril

with the other half of this.

Even if he did get there,
look at what happened to Silas.

Zedd could be walking
into a trap.

The Wizard isn't
exactly defenseless.

If I can get a horse I can
be there in less than a week.

You can't go alone.

It's too dangerous.

Cara and I will go with you.

But the compass is pointing
in the opposite direction.

And we'll follow it that way
once we know Zedd is safe.

Let's go.

( ominous theme playing )

Silas knew that
stealing the amulet

could cost him his life.

It's a rare man willing
to make such a sacrifice.

( speaking inaudibly )

Who are those guards?

Prince Fyren's men.

Prince Fyren?

Of Kelton?

When Rahl fell,

Fyren threw the D'Harans
out of Kelton and Aydindril.

Then he jailed
the Council members

and proclaimed himself
"High Lord Regent."

In a forest near Gallimar,

we found two bodies
hanging from a tree

bearing the seal of Aydindril
round their necks.

Fyren's work.

He's given bands of hoodlums

the authority
to enforce his laws,

mostly archaic or invented,
demanding fines.

When people can't pay, or won't,
he makes examples out of them.

I've heard enough.

Where can I find Prince Fyren?

Well.

What crime could
this lovely young lady

possibly have committed?

It's a private matter.

Come closer.

Tell me what I can
do for you.

( dramatic theme playing )

You can get out of my chair.

Command me, Confessor.

Order your men to stand down.

Death to anyone who harms her!

The Mother Confessor
has returned to Aydindril.

Everyone answers to me

or you will meet the same
fate as Prince Fyren.

All of his edicts will
be subject to my review.

There will be no more unjust
fines or executions.

The rule of law will be restored
to the Midlands.

( applause )

What are you smiling about?

Nothing. I was just thinking.
About what?

Even though I'm worried
about Zedd, I have to admit,

part of me is glad
the amulet didn't work.

I always dreamed we'd
go to Aydindril together.

( woman screams )

Please, we won't do it again.

You've violated
the code of Aydindril.

If you don't pay your fine,
you'll be put to death.

For kissing her?

RICHARD:
Let them go.

This is none of your concern,
Seeker.

We're here under the authority

of the High Lord Regent
of Aydindril.

Release them. Now.

Or what?

Get out of here!

( all grunting )

( action theme playing )

( Agiel whining )

( gasping )

You're no Confessor.

( grunts )

( panting )

What happened?
Why didn't you confess him?

I couldn't.

What?

My power...

it's gone.

I knew I wasn't feeling right.

Now I know why.

It must have been the accident
with the amulet.

Richard, this has never
happened before.

To any Confessor. Ever.

There has to be a way
to fix it.

Confessor magic isn't something
you can just "fix."

Without it I'm--
I'm not a Confessor at all.

Hey.

We'll get to Aydindril,
we'll find Zedd--

We don't even know
if Zedd's alive.

It takes more magic than
a broken amulet to kill Zedd.

Trust me.

I asked our friends if we
could borrow their horses.

They didn't object.

The faster we move, the sooner
we can get back to Zedd.

Come on.

Hyah!

( horse whinnies )

The sentence issued
by Prince Fyren

was unduly harsh.

His order for your beheading
is hereby overturned.

Bless you, Mother Confessor.

Kahlan, I believe
we can do more

to mitigate this man's loss.

Just a moment, Zedd.

His hand was removed
because he stole grain.

I had to.
To feed my family.

But you stole that grain
from another family.

Yes, Mother Confessor.

Then according
to the code of Aydindril,

cutting off your hand
was the fitting punishment.

I'm afraid I can't let
the Wizard restore it.

Kahlan, are you sure?

I've made my decision.

She's changed since
I last saw her.

She's changed
since this morning.

My men have returned nearly
all the fines I collected.

They have orders not to stop

until they've
paid everyone back.

Have I pleased you, mistress?

For now.

See to it that all the released
prisoners get home safely.

Yes, mistress.

Zedd.

I thought you'd be
feasting on lamb

at Ambrosio's Tavern by now.

And miss watching
the Mother Confessor

bring justice
back to Aydindril?

Not even for Ambrosio's.

There's still so much
to set right.

Why didn't you allow me

to restore that
young man's hand?

He stole grain
from another family.

With his hand he could
have worked to repay them.

According to the code
of Aydindril--

You know better than I do
that those barbaric codes

haven't been enforced
for hundreds of years.

Yes, and look
at the Midlands now.

Zedd, I did not come here
to grant amnesty

to thieves and petty criminals.

I came here to abolish
a corrupt system.

To bring back the rule of law.
If I start making exceptions

the rules will lose
their meaning.

In the past, you've always been
one to err on the side of mercy.

What you call "mercy"
is a stone's throw from chaos.

Do you think
I'm being unreasonable?

Not unreasonable,

just very different

from the Kahlan Amnell I know.

Before, my duty
was to protect Richard.

Here, I'm the leader.

I have to have
the people's respect.

I hope I have yours.

Always, Kahlan.

Thank you.

( crickets chirping )

Richard, Richard.

What's wrong?
You all right?

Oh, yeah, I'm fine,
everything's fine.

I just--

I need to talk to you.

Alone.

We're going to take a walk.

I couldn't sleep.

I kept thinking:
I don't have my powers--

I know, but--
No, no.

No, Richard,
it's not that, I--

( soft theme playing )

I don't know if I'm going to get
them back tomorrow or ever.

But right now...

This--

This could
be our only chance.

Are you saying--?

Yes.

If you want to.

( knocks )

You asked to see me, mistress?

Before you were confessed,

your motives were greedy
and selfish,

and your methods unlawful.

Forgive me, mistress.

( latch clanks )

However, you also showed great
strength and leadership.

You took the D'Harans
out of Aydindril.

You easily unseated
the Council.

You come from a line of kings
and great warriors.

You meet the qualifications
to sire the next Confessor.

Mistress, I'm honored.

I'll please you in ways
you can't imagine.

Hm. I doubt that.

But you can try.

Oh, that won't be necessary.

Just take off your clothes.

( soft upbeat theme playing )

The sun's coming up.

Are you sure?

I think that's the moon.

Cara's going to be wondering
where we are.

I think Cara
can figure it out.

Can you imagine what it would
be like to be ordinary people?

You mean the kind that sleep
in beds in houses?

Yes, yes.

And who make each other
breakfast in the morning

and kiss their
children goodnight.

The kind that have time

to go see the Falls of Aldermont
at sunset.

Do you ever think about that?

Every day.

I wish we didn't
have to go.

Me too.

( chuckles )

I'll meet you back
at the campsite.

( sighs )

This is Aydindril.

If we go through
the Rang'Shada mountains

we won't have to cross
the Kael river.

There's a bridge
after the river forks.

It might be faster.

We'll go that way, then.

That was a long walk
you took.

What are you two doing?

We're just discussing whether
to go through the mountains

or across the river.

You had your hands all over him.

I was taking a leaf
out of his hair.

I may not have my powers,
but I have eyes, Cara.

I know what I saw.

You can't stand that Richard
and I were together last night.

Why would I care?

Do you think I don't see
how you look at him?

"I'd die for you, Richard."

"How can I serve you,
Richard?"

You want him for yourself.
You always have, just admit it.

Kahlan, you are seeing things
that aren't there.

Richard,

she has been trying
to get her claws into you

ever since you rescued her
from the Mord-Sith.

No one rescued me.

Cara--

You think if it weren't for me,
you'd have him already?

Well, you will never
have him.

If I wanted him,
I would have had him already.

RICHARD:
Kahlan.

You're not thinking.

Cara hasn't done anything--

Why do you always
defend her?

Just calm down.

( gasps )

You love her, don't you?

Kahlan--
All right. Fine.

If you want her,
you can have her.

I hope you two
are very happy together.

RICHARD:
Kahlan, stop.

Kahlan.

( sighs )
I'm sorry.

I don't know
what I was thinking.

I don't know why I said
those things to Cara.

Cara's fine.

Look, what is this about?

I just...

I saw her with you
and I was afraid that--

That last night meant nothing
to you.

It meant everything to me.

But you want to go
to Aydindril.

You want me to get
my powers back.

Then we'll never
be able to--

I want you to get
your powers back

because they're a part of you.

I thought that's what
you wanted too.

But whatever happens,
you are the one I love.

When the rift is sealed
and the world is safe again,

I want nothing more
than just to be with you.

We could be together now.

What are you talking about?

Richard, the Prophecy says

that as long as the Mother
Confessor's pure heart beats,

the Keeper will never win.

All I have to do
is stay alive.

We could go into hiding
somewhere where I'd be safe

and we can give
the Sword to Cara,

and she could go to Aydindril
and give it to Zedd.

And they can name
a new Seeker.

And we can live
like ordinary people.

We could-- We could
have children.

Kahlan, I can't abandon
my quest.

Does that always
have to come first?

Before our happiness?

The Kahlan I know cares more
about the fate of the world

than her own happiness.

Well, maybe it's our turn.

We can both have
what we want.

Listen to me.

Something is wrong with you.

You didn't just lose
your powers, you lost...

something else.

No, Richard, I'm fine.
You're not fine.

You're making accusations
that don't make sense.

You're talking about
abandoning our quest.

Richard, I just--
I love you so much.

I can't lose you.
I can't. I can't.

You're not
going to lose me.

And if you love me,
you need to trust me.

I don't know what's happened
to you, but we need to find out.

Do you trust me?

Then we need to get to Aydindril
and get there fast.

( suspenseful theme playing )

Havre the Council brought to me
when they arrive.

Kahlan.

May I have a word?

Leave us, Fyren.

I take it you finally
made it

to Ambrosio's last night?

Yes, and I heard
a rather disturbing rumor

that the Mother Confessor had
taken Prince Fyren as her mate.

I assured those gossiping fools
that there was no truth to it,

but his appearance
by your side

might give some
the impression--

It's no rumor, Zedd.

Kahlan,
you couldn't have.

He's been confessed.

He meets the requirements.

But what about Richard?

You know I can't mate
with Richard.

My powers
would destroy him.

Of course, but you've always
resisted taking a mate

because of your love
for him.

I don't have the luxury
of love.

I have a duty to continue
the line of Confessors.

Richard understands that.

So should you.

I understand that,

but to do it
so rashly,

and with him...

FYREN:
The Council is here to see you,
mistress.

Show them in.

Zedd,

this really isn't
your concern.

Mother Confessor.

The Council of the Midlands
has returned to be seated.

KAHLAN:
That won't be necessary.

Under the Council's watch,

Prince Fyren was able
to usurp my authority

and unleash a reign of terror
all over the Midlands.

The Council has proven itself

utterly ineffective,

and is hereby disbanded.

Justice in the Midlands
requires only one voice:

mine.

( ominous theme playing )

I don't know
what happened to you

when we used that amulet
to get here,

but something
has happened to you, Kahlan.

You are not yourself.

Zedd, you came with me
to ensure that I arrived safely.

I'm safe.

Now, you're free to go back
to Cara and Richard

and help them find
the Stone of Tears.

But if you choose to stay
in Aydindril,

you will not question
my authority again.

( dramatic theme playing )

I've held my tongue
for days now.

I can no longer
remain silent.

I know Kahlan Amnell very well,
and this is not Kahlan.

You think the Mother Confessor
is an imposter?

She can't be.

I traveled here
with her myself.

Something happened to her
when the amulet was broken.

I've been searching the scrolls
at the Wizard's Keep

for answers,
but I've found nothing.

What do you suggest we do?

We can't let her
remain in power.

A Wizard's web will keep
her contained, but unharmed.

Putting the Mother Confessor
in a Wizard's web is treason.

I wish there was another way.

So do I.

( grunting )

I may only be a Wizard
of the Second Order,

but I believe it was you

who taught me the element
of surprise is everything.

Guards!

( shouting in ancient tongue )

Alferon, why?

You were plotting
against my mistress.

She confessed me
just yesterday.

( dramatic theme playing )

( horse whinnying )

This man
has committed treason.

As Mother Confessor,

I am sworn to uphold the highest
standards of justice.

The crime of treason
threatens justice itself.

And when justice
is threatened,

it is all of society
that suffers.

Though I have known this man
for a long time,

I do not make exceptions.

Everyone is to be treated
fairly.

No one,

not even a Wizard
of the First Order...

Who is that?

...is above the law.
It's you.

For conspiring to overthrow
the Mother Confessor,

Zeddicus Zu'l Zorander,

I sentence you to death
by hanging at first light.

( chatter )

We have to do something.

Wait.

Don't let her see you.

But that imposter
just sentenced Zedd to death.

She has guards everywhere.

If she's powerful enough
to capture Zedd,

there's no telling
what she's capable of.

I have to tell them
that she's not me.

I'm not so sure about that.
What do you mean?

I don't think the amulet was the
only thing that split in two.

Don't ask me to explain it.
We need to get to Zedd.

Not like that.

Then how do you propose
we get to him?

KAHLAN:
Seven years' hard labor.

Bring the next supplicant.

Mother Confessor.

Richard.

I'm surprised to see you
in Aydindril.

Why are you here?

I was concerned about you
and my grandfather.

I'm sorry, Richard.

But Zedd has become a threat.

He tried to depose me.

I had no choice but to find him
guilty of treason.

That doesn't sound like Zedd.

How can you be sure?

I'm always sure.

It's part of my gift.

He dies in the morning.

Now, you should get back
to your quest.

We're all depending on you.

Yes, Mother Confessor.

But before my grandfather dies,

I'd like to see him.

I believe it's my right.

Guards, please escort the Seeker
to the dungeon.

Of course.
It all makes sense now.

If only I had
realized it sooner.

Realized what?

The amulet
is very powerful.

It's magically linked to the
heart of the Mother Confessor.

It can find her anywhere
in the world.

When we used it to come here,

in her heart,
Kahlan was torn.

Part of her wanted
to stay with you,

and that part stayed.

So which one is really Kahlan?

Neither.

I don't understand.

We're all a delicate combination
of duty and desire.

The heart and the head.

Constantly keeping each other
in balance.

It takes both to make us whole.

How did this happen?

Kahlan's innermost desire
was to stay,

but her duty was to go.

So when the amulet broke,

the woman in love
stayed with you,

and the Confessor sworn
to serve the Midlands came here.

There has to be a way to put
both halves back together.

With both pieces of the amulet,
I think I could.

Of course, that's assuming
I have the use of my hands.

I'm going to get you
out of here.

How?

You said the Mother Confessor
is guided by reason alone?

RICHARD:
I'd like to speak
on Zedd's behalf

before his sentence
is carried out.

It's your right to speak.

In sentencing Zedd for treason,

you failed to take
into consideration

his exceptional
life and deeds.

Should I list them?

I'm well aware
of Zedd's accomplishments.

But it doesn't change the fact

that he conspired
to overthrow me.

He broke the law.

As the Mother Confessor,
the law is what you say it is.

And I say the Code of Aydindril
is the law.

I've read the Code of Aydindril.

It was written
by the first Mother Confessor.

She said there is no justice
be it not tempered by mercy.

Magda Searus,
the first Mother Confessor,

she was not without her enemies.

She killed when
it was necessary.

RICHARD:
She did kill.

In fact, she insisted that all
male Confessor babies be killed

because they lacked
the compassion necessary

to control their powers.

Is my sex in question,
Richard?

No.

But your compassion is.

You have none.

Because you are, in fact,
not the Mother Confessor.

You know who I am, Richard.

RICHARD:
I know your kindness,

your wisdom,

and yes, your compassion.

But I don't see these things
in you.

Because they're in her.

( all gasping )

( dramatic theme playing )

This is a trick.

RICHARD:
This is no trick.

She's been with me
since the moment you left.

When you used the amulet,
you were split in two.

You may have your powers
and your sharp mind,

but the rest of you is in her.

Your heart.
Your compassion.

Your mercy.

Mother Confessor
needs all of it.

Zedd can fix this.

He can put you back together.

He can make you
a whole person again.

But until he does,

you don't have the right
to decide his fate,

or anyone else's.

Let's assume you're correct,

and I no longer have the part
of me that cares for you

or for Zedd.

That compassion,
as you call it,

kept me from my duties here.

Without it,
I'm a better leader.

A better judge.

A better Confessor.

Whatever she is, I don't need
her getting in the way of that.

If you refuse to allow Zedd
to put you back together,

you will leave this woman
without her reason, her power.

Is that just?

She has no powers?

Then you and Richard
can be together.

Do you feel incomplete?

You can't lie
to a Confessor.

I think you know that.

No.

I don't feel incomplete.

If you're part of me,
then I don't want you back.

Not if it means
I'd put duty above love.

Not if it means I can never
be Richard's wife.

I'm never going
to be your husband.

No, you'll change your mind.

I can be everything
that you want.

I won't ask you
to give up your quest.

I'll-- I'll love Cara
like a sister, and--

And you can have her too,
if that's what you want.

And you'll love me,
just like you did before.

Would you look at her?

She's not in her right mind.

And neither are you.

Richard.

I understand that you missed
some idealized version

of the Kahlan you loved.

But you do not have the right to
murder two distinct individuals

simply to get the one
that you want.

I've made my decision.

Go back to your quest.
Take her with you.

I'm not going anywhere
until you let Zedd go.

Then you will be arrested for
defying the Mother Confessor.

Seize them.

( shouting )

Richard!

Stop them.
They'll kill him.

Richard!

( gasps )

It seems my emotions
are still getting in my way.

Kahlan, no!

Command me, mistress.

Help me fight him.

Yes, mistress.

That was foolish, Cara. One
touch from me could kill you.

( Agiel whining )
Ah!

Mistress!

I told you I'd die
to protect Richard.

Fortunately, I won't have to.

Drop your weapons or I kill her.

Mistress, please,
they'll kill you.

Richard won't let her
kill me.

I never said both of you had
to be alive for Zedd to fix you.

You're bluffing.

RICHARD:
Am I?

How can you be sure of that?

KAHLAN:
Don't kill her! Mistress,
please, do as they say.

( suspenseful theme playing )

Drop your weapons.

RICHARD:
Release Zedd.

Right now.

I will.

But before you do anything
to harm me,

you should know
I may be with child.

Mistress, I could also
be with child.

Your child.

Neither of you
is with child.

But Fyren and I were intimate
many times.

Both of you are nothing more
than magical fragments.

Conception under such
circumstances

would be impossible.

You know I'm telling you
the truth.

Richard,
please don't kill her.

If you still love me--

If you care about
the Midlands--

Do it.

( chanting in ancient tongue )

Kahlan.

Are we in Aydindril?

Yes. Yes, we're in Aydindril.

( sighs )

Are you all right?

I'm fine.

I'm so sorry, old friend.

There's no need.

RICHARD:
If he's released
from confession,

then we really did kill
two women.

Two women who should never have
existed in the first place.

What are you two
talking about?

You really don't remember?

Remember what?

Richard, there are some things
that you told me

that I'm glad
I don't remember.

And some that I wish
I did.

I have enough memories
for the both of us.

When Zedd
put me back together,

you gave up something too.

Kahlan.

If I'd known what happened
to you, I never would've--

I know.

But we did.

And you said it was--

Yes, it was.

( both chuckle )

But I'd rather have you,
all of you, just the way we are,

than everything else
with someone who's not you.

Richard,
if you hadn't stopped me,

I would have executed Zedd.

That wasn't you.

Well, at least I get the chance
to make things right here.

You're going to stay?

No.

I'm going to reinstate the
Council and send for my sister

so Aydindril doesn't have to be
without a Confessor.

And if I'm needed,
Alferon has the amulet.

You know I'd understand
if you did want to stay.

I'll always be torn.

But I can only be in one place
at a time.

Right now,
that place is with you.
