All language subtitles for The Shannara Chronicles S01E04 Changeling

Previously on
The Shannara Chronicles...

..belonged to your father.
They're Elfstones.

You can't walk away
from your destiny.

I have neither the Stones nor the boy.

- Tell us your name.
- Bandon.

Either he's hiding magic
or he doesn't know he has magic.

The Ellcrys called to me.

When I touched the tree, it showed me
horrible visions of the future.

Lorin...

- The Chosen, they're all dead.
- No, one still lives.

As the only remaining
member of the Chosen,

the burden falls upon your princess.

Are you willing to enter the tree?

If you fail, you will die.

I am.

♪ I feel it running
through my veins

♪ And I need that fire

♪ Just to know that I'm awake. ♪

So if Amberle fails the trial,
the Ellcrys will kill her?

If she succumbs to her fear, yes.

And we will lose any hope
of saving this world from the Dagda Mor.

Great. OK, then.

Ugh!

Oh!

Get up, Amberle.

Look, I didn't mean to hurt you.

- Why are you lying?
- I'm not.

You never loved me.

You have feelings for him.

Words aren't enough, Amberle.

You need to prove
your commitment to the quest.

I'll do whatever it takes.

Prove it.

Kill me.

What?

There will be no mercy
beyond these walls.

The Demons feed on weakness.

And you?

You're as weak as they come.

If you're going to survive,
you have to harden your heart.

Ugh!

- Now kill me!
- Please don't make me do this!

The quest is more important
than any one life!

You can't let your emotions
get in the way.

Now stand and fight me

or die with everyone else.

You're weak.

Ah!

Is this your usual grave look
or should I be worried?

She's losing the fight.

You neglected your oath
while the world burned.

You're no hero.
The Ellcrys knows the truth.

Congratulations, Amberle.

You passed the test.

Now, don't let anything distract you.

Not fear, not love.

The fate of the world depends on it.

Where's the Bloodfire?

The Ellcrys has chosen Amberle...

..to carry its seed to the Bloodfire.

As the tree has entrusted her
with its life,

so now must we place our lives
in her hands.

My dear child, I'm so sorry that...

..the burden falls on your shoulders.

Come, now.
We have no time to waste.

What are you?

This is what I saw in my vision,

on a stained-glass window.

Do you recognise it?

Doesn't the Codex
have a map or something?

The Safehold is referred to
only once in the Codex,

stating that it lies beyond the Wilderun

in the Old World.

I don't know about the rest of them,
but I have had enough

of this magician's
cryptic pronouncements.

You know nothing
of the world of magic.

- Allanon, what...
- Is just a man.

Beneath the cloak and the
furrowed brow, he is the same enemy

that we have spent
our entire lives fighting.

I am not your enemy, Prince.

Sending a young girl
out into the wilderness

with no map and no protection...

That is a bad plan.

The Ellcrys has spoken.

That ends the debate.

Do you remember
the summer you sent

Aine, Arion and me
to the fort in Drey Wood?

We met an Elf there named Rin Katsin.

He told us stories of his adventures

beyond the ancient Elvin sentinels,
inside the Wilderun.

Send word to Drey Wood.

I want Rin Katsin brought there
immediately.

Crispin.

You will escort
Amberle, Wil and Allanon to meet him.

- You'll leave at first light.
- Yes, Your Grace.

No mention of this plan
can leave this room.

The Dagda Mor still has his traitor
within these walls.

Amberle. Wait. Are you OK?

Well, I nearly died
for the privilege

of going on the quest
to save the Four Lands.

I don't know where I'm headed,
but I suspect

it'll be someplace full of Demons,
so, no, Wil, I'm not OK.

It's a good thing I'm coming with you -
I can annoy the Demons to death.

This is no time for jokes.

Whatever is going on, you can tell me.

I don't need you
to hold my hand,

and I don't need your emotions
getting in the way

of what we have to do.

Alright - you're gonna sneak
into the palace,

find the half-breed
and snag the Stones.

If I get caught,
I'll spend the rest of my life in a jail cell.

Yeah? It'll be a lot worse
if you come back empty-handed.

Now, go.

Don't even think about
double-crossing me.

Thanks for coming.

I just had to see him
one last time.

Of course.

I'm so sorry about Jase, Catania.
About all of this.

I know.

I just can't believe
you're leaving again.

Losing you once was bad enough.

I'm going to come back.

Hey, what happened to you in there?

I saw Lorin.

It was so real -
I could touch him, smell him.

He said I never loved him,
that I was a coward.

No, you're none of
those things, Amberle.

It was just an illusion,
a way for the Ellcrys to test you.

I know. But it was right.

I didn't love Lorin.

I was scared.

We all are.

Commander Tilton.

We have a situation in the Sanctuary.

- Went. -We need to get Amberle
back to the palace.

Let's go!

Bandon.
What are you doing out here?

I wanted to see the sky.

When I was a kid,

I dreamed of coming to Arborlon
and seeing the royal palace.

Now I'm here...

All you want to do is go home.

I have no home.

If you let me bandage your wrists,
they'll heal faster.

Don't touch me!

Does something happen
when people touch you?

I see things.

Like what?

Their death.

Is that what you meant
about Amberle?

Before she entered the Ellcrys,
you said

something terrible would happen
if I don't go with her.

When you touched Amberle,
did you see anything like this?

Yeah, this symbol.

It was in the room where they died.

They?

- You mean Amberle and Allanon?
- No.

Amberle and another girl.

A human.

Hey, Short Tips.

Long time no see.

I've received word from
the fort commander at Drey Wood.

Rin Katsin has been summoned.

He'll be there
in less than two days time.

Thank you, Arion.
Please pass that on to Allanon.

About what I said earlier, I...

Yes, I've been thinking
about that.

And I've come to a decision.

Even if we defeat this Demon horde...

..I will not abdicate.

If this crisis has taught me anything,
it is that you are not yet ready to be king.

I apologise for what I said earlier,

but... but, please, Father,

do not let that overshadow
my accomplishments.

Accomplishments?
What would they be?

I deserve the crown.

No-one deserves the crown.

Your brother understood that.
Why can't you?

It is hard to compete
with the ghost of a brother

whose stature increases in your mind
with every passing year.

My decision is made.

We have a problem.

You have exactly five seconds
before I call the guards.

- Please don't.
- Give me one good reason not to.

Cephelo saw you use the Stones.

He sent me here to steal them.

I said a good reason.

Wil, he'll kill me if I don't.

You really expect me to believe
your own father would do that?

Cephelo is not my father.

I'm his property.

He bought me when I was a little girl.

I spent the days learning how to steal
and my nights fending off his men.

So, yeah.

He would kill me.

I'm sorry. Nobody deserves that.

But I can't give you the Stones.

Look, I don't want the Stones.

I just want your help.

I want to get away from him.

And I want a new life, just like you.

Look, my new life
could be very, very short.

I'm in way over my head.

But what you did at the camp,
jumping in front of that Demon,

I've never seen anyone
do something so brave before.

That princess is lucky to have you.

Amberle and I aren't together.

In fact, she wants
nothing to do with me.

Well, if I had someone like you,

I would never let him go.

♪ I might be yours
As yours I... ♪

Nice try.

But I'm not falling for your little ro...

I get why you don't trust me.

But I am sorry.

Apology accepted.

Went was killed by
one of the Dagda Mor's Demons,

probably the same one
that murdered the Chosen

and gave away our position
in Wing Hove.

Yeah, but it's after me, isn't it?

You are the only thing standing between
the Dagda Mor and its freedom.

Well, then, we should leave
for Drey Wood tonight.

- Under cover of darkness.
- No.

We cannot depart until we've
found this Demon and destroyed it.

Otherwise it'll keep informing
the Dagda Mor of your movements.

And if it comes for me, what then?

As long as you remain within the palace,

Wil and I will take guard of you
at all times.

Speaking of Wil,
where is he exactly?

I'll never call you Short Tips again.

Ohh! Sorry.

Are you OK?

You're gonna die.

Excuse me?

Don't go upstairs. It's not safe.

You don't understand.
You've got to listen to me!

Listen to me!

- What is it?
- Eretria?

Oh!

Wait!
You can't go up there!

Stop that Rover!

There's nowhere to run, Eretria.

Don't let her escape.

Cloak's a nice touch, Rover,
but your boots gave you away.

Ohh!

Excellent work, Commander Tilton.

Thank you, Your Grace.

Prince Ander assisted
with the apprehension.

If by 'assisted', you mean got
his ass kicked, yeah, he was a big help.

Rover, do you have a name?

Does it matter?
We all look the same to you anyway.

You'll address the King
with the respect he deserves.

He's not my king, Elf.

Her name is Eretria.

I met her on the road.
She tried to rob me.

You will be charged with
the murder of the royal gardener

and the attempted assassination
of the Princess Amberle.

- Do you understand?
- Are you insane?

I didn't kill anyone.

Besides me and Allanon,
there were two other witnesses.

Look.

I'm a lot of things, but I'm not a killer.

Then what are you doing in Arborlon?

She came for the Elfstones.

But I wouldn't put anything
past her at this point.

An Elvin court will decide your fate.

If you are guilty,
the penalty will be death.

Take her to the cells.

Amberle, please!
I didn't do this!

I didn't do this! No!

I need to talk to her.

It's important.

You've got 30 seconds.

- Where are they?
- Wil, I didn't...

The Stones, Eretria, now!

Right-hand pocket.

Liar and thief wasn't good enough, huh?

- You had to add murderer
to your list of accomplishments? -No.

No, when Amberle recognised me,
I took off, but I didn't try to kill her.

Save it. Amberle was right
about you all along.

You only give a damn
about yourself.

Think about it, Wil.

Why would I come
all the way here to kill Amberle

when I had a million chances
out there in the woods?

How does murdering her even help me?

If someone's really trying to kill her,
then they're still out there.

Time's up.

My father's sword.

The Elvin people...

..were deprived of a great king
when he was taken from us.

May it protect you
on your journey.

I miss him every day.

Me too.

Now more than ever.

You remind me of him so much.

He was just like you,

headstrong but selfless.

And very brave.

Arborlon could not have chosen
a finer protector.

You come back to us.

I will.

Is something bothering you?

I don't understand
why we can't leave immediately

now that the murderer
has been caught.

I'm not so sure that's the case.

Why am I not surprised
you're taking the Rover's side?

I have no love for Eretria,
but she only came for the Elfstones.

How was she able to steal the Stones
in the first place?

Well, she attacked me in my room.

We struggled and she knocked me out.

Oh, I take it back, then.
She sounds totally trustworthy.

Look, she could have killed us
in the woods or the Rover camp.

Why come all the way here
to do it?

Maybe she has a flair for the dramatic.

It doesn't matter. Allanon and I
saw her with our own eyes.

Well, our eyes
aren't impervious to deception.

That's Druid-speak for
"Maybe you should reconsider."

I know you hate Eretria, but you can't let
your feelings cloud your judgement.

If you have doubts that Eretria did it,
why didn't you tell her?

For the same reason you didn't tell her
that you slept with the Rover girl.

It does not serve our mission.

You seriously have to stop
with the mind-reading.

There is a powerful Demon
inside this palace.

Up to now, it's been successful
cloaking itself from me.

If we can convince it
that we've let our guard down...

It might strike again.

And this time, we'll be ready.

But we still don't know
what this Demon looks like.

- Wait. Maybe Bandon could help.
- The boy? How?

He told me when he touches people,
he sees their death.

He's a seer.

That is a powerful
and dangerous gift.

Do you think he could see
a dead person's final moments?

Why did you bring me here?

Wil told me about your gift.

Seeing death is no gift.

You are a seer, Bandon.

You don't just see death.
You see possibilities.

Your parents didn't understand that.

But I do.

My mentor, Bremen, was a seer.

I watched as he walked the perilous
ledge between darkness and light.

- Allanon!
- I tried to stop her.

Please let the Chosen rest in peace.

My plan is to save the Ellcrys, and
there'll be no peace until that is done.

Lorin pledged himself to protect the tree.

Let him help us.

All we need
are his last moments.

Look for the face of the killer.

What did you see?

It was her.

- You killed him.
- What?

She had the knife and silver eyes.

It wasn't the princess that you saw.

It was a Changeling.

The Changeling is an ancient Demon,
a shape-shifter that can inhabit the form

of any being it chooses.

That explains how it's been able
to hide in the palace.

That thing killed Lorin.

The Ellcrys was trying to warn me,
and I ran.

If you hadn't run,
you'd be dead by now,

and all hope would be lost.

Now, the Demon does not know
that we are aware of its existence.

That could work to our advantage.

The Changeling wants me.

That's why it's still here.

If you are considering
offering yourself as bait, think again.

What if we use a decoy?

Someone with nothing to lose.

Eretria will never help us.

She will if it's in her own self-interest.

Good.

Now go convince her.

Wil.

The human girl I saw
with Amberle in my vision...

..was the Rover.

Come to check out the view?

There may be a way
to win your freedom.

So you figured out I'm not the one
who attacked you.

Way to go.

We need your help to catch
the real murderer, a Demon.

You want to use me as bait.

It's either that or face an Elvin court.

And before you play
Little Miss Innocent,

let's not forget that you
broke into the palace,

assaulted Wil
and stole the Elfstones.

'Assaulted'?

Is that what he told you?

The details aren't important.

He said you broke into his room, that he
struggled but you knocked him out.

That's one way to put it.

You should know that the struggle
was mutual and lasted about an hour.

Well, he said you two
weren't together.

And he's absolutely right.

Are you going to help or not?

You'll be safe in here, Princess.

Now what?

We wait.

The princess didn't seem
very happy to hear about us.

There is no 'us'.

Wow. You're such a guy.

- What's that supposed to mean?
- Seduce the girl then drop her?

Me? Seduce you?

- Yeah.
- That's...

Oh, that's...
You've gotta be kidding me.

No. I call it like I see it.

You can't make me regret what
happened any more than I already do.

Well, I guess you're really
out of luck now.

That princess won't want
a Rover's sloppy seconds.

A patrol just found
the body of

a Black Watch guard
hidden near the North Wall.

He's been dead
a couple of days.

If the Changeling's been hiding
in the Black Watch,

it might know
we're using a decoy.

We have to warn Amberle!

Open the doors! Open up!

Amberle, are you OK?

- I'm fine. Why?
- You're not safe here.

It's OK.

What's going on?
Why aren't you with Eretria?

Because it's you I'm after.

Amberle!

- Halt!
- Stand down.

Burn the Demon
and seal its ashes in this.

Yes, sir.

If we're done here,
I'll just take my things and go.

I'm afraid not.

Commander Tilton,
take the prisoner back to her cell.

- What are you doing?
- I don't make deals with Rovers.

Oh, I knew an Elvin bitch
wouldn't keep her word.

Let her go. This has gone far enough.

You need to tell us
what you know, Princess.

Amberle. You saw Eretria in your vision.

What are you talking about?

Bandon told me when he touched you,
he saw you and Eretria together.

But I'm guessing you already
knew that, mind-reader.

I was hoping you were going
to tell me of your own volition.

Yes, she was in my vision.

But I didn't know what it meant.
I thought it might be a warning.

When she showed up and attacked me,
that confirmed it.

You need to start trusting
the Ellcrys.

Otherwise the three of you
will not make it to Safehold.

'Three'?

Princess, Rover,
Elf and Druid makes four.

Allanon wasn't in my vision.

If the Dagda Mor sends more Demons,
we must be ready for them here.

That is why you three
must travel to Safehold together.

Do you recognise this?

- Go to hell.
- Oh, we might get there soon enough.

'We'?

I'm not going anywhere with you.

Much as I'd love to see you
rot in that cell,

the Ellcrys says you're part of the quest.

What the hell is an Ellcrys?

Lover boy can fill you in.

We can't do this without you.

You are a Shannara, Wil.
Never forget that.

When you learn how to unlock
the power of the Elfstones,

the Demons won't stand a chance.

Yeah. It's not the Demons
I'm worried about.

I don't know about you, but...

..I'm feeling great about this plan.

Move out!

Don't worry. Daddy's coming.
