KAHLAN:
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.

WOMAN:
Kahlan.

Wait.

WOMAN:
Kahlan Amnell?

[***]

Who's there?

Mother Confessor.

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

Serena?

Zeddicus Zu'l Zorander.

My old friend.

KAHLAN:
Mother Confessor?

This is Richard Cypher.

The Seeker of Truth.

This is truly
an honor.

Erin. Tara.

Alana.
[BOTH LAUGH]

I thought you were
all in hiding.

SERENA:
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.

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?

SERENA:
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 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.

[KAHLAN GASPS]

Oh.

I'm so sorry.

I fared better than most.

Before they could take
my other hand, or worse,

Mother Confessor saved me.

RICHARD:
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.

KAHLAN:
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.

RICHARD:
How is that possible?

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

SERENA:
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.

[SOBBING]

May the Spirits protect you,
little sister.

Go.

[KISSES]

She--

She must have survived somehow.

Rahl must have her.

SERENA:
We know what
he does to Confessors.

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

What?

ALANA:
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?

[***]

[BIRDS CHIRPING]

RICHARD:
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.

[***]

[ZEDD CHANTING
IN ANCIENT TONGUE]

[PANTS]

[GASPS]

I...

I don't believe it.

Thank you.

SERENA:
Still as powerful as I remember.

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 remember 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.

KAHLAN:
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.

RICHARD:
Kahlan!

Kah--
Hey, hey.

We're going to find her.
Okay?

[MIRA CHIRPING]

What's she saying?

It's Dennee.

She's close.

RICHARD:
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.

[GRUNTS]

A Mord-Sith approaches.

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

The Seeker?

You captured him single-handed?

[GRUNTS]

You dare question a Mord-Sith?

Take me to the warden.

[RICHARD GRUNTS]

I have urgent intelligence
from Lord Rahl.

Intelligence that must
be discussed in private.

Leave us.

So what is this intelligence?

[GASPS]

[***]

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.

KAHLAN:
Yes.

Oh. 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.

Oh, 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.

WARDEN:
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.

[DENNEE PANTING]

[***]

Our Dennee is safe.
Dennee!

[SOBS]

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.

[***]

[WHINNIES]

General Nass, we received
orders not to expect you.

What orders?

General.

I have the orders
right here.

[SOLDIERS GASP]

[GASPS]
[KNIFE SLICES]

Where is the prisoner?

B-Being delivered to Rahl.

By whom?

GUARD:
By the Mord-Sith.

She had also captured
the Seeker.

That was no Mord-Sith.

[GROANS]

It was a Confessor.

Ready your men.

If you can deliver
the Confessor-child

and the Seeker to Lord Rahl,

he may forgive your failure.

[PANTING]

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.

Oh. Good.

Because we may need to stop.

[DENNEE SCREAMING]

KAHLAN:
You're doing great!
I just need you to try again.

[PANTING]
Come on. Yes.

KAHLAN:
Keep breathing.

[DENNEE SCREAMING]

KAHLAN:
Dennee,

the baby's in the wrong
position.

What?

We need to turn the baby around.

DENNEE:
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.

[DENNEE PANTING]

DENNEE:
I don't--
I don't wanna lose her.

[DENNEE PANTING]

Okay, Dennee,

try now, push.

[DENNEE SCREAMING]

[BABY CRYING]

[ALL LAUGHING]

[SHOUTS]

It's a boy.

[CRYING]

What's wrong?

The child must die.

[***]

[DENNEE SOBS]

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.

RICHARD:
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.

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.

SERENA:
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.

[MIRA CHIRPING]

D'Harans. They're 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.

[***]

[SNIFFS]

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.

MAN:
Sir.

Their tracks lead this way.
Follow them.

We must save that child.

Did you lose them?

RICHARD:
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.

But 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.

[***]

[BABY CRYING]

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.

[PANTS]

[***]

SERENA:
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'll 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.

RICHARD:
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.

[CRYING]

Hey.

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. Heh.

Ah. Ha-ha.

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?

Oh, I have no intention
of confessing him.

[SCREAMING]

[***]

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.

[***]

[GRUNTS]

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.

SERENA:
Give me the child

and you can continue
with your mission.

KAHLAN:
The mission?

You jeopardized
that when you confessed

a Wizard of the First Order.

As soon as I have the child

I will command Zeddicus

to continue on
as the Seeker's Wizard.

All will be as it was.

No.

Very well.

Make him leave.

KAHLAN:
Richard!

[***]

[GRUNTING]

KAHLAN:
Mother Confessor,

you're going to kill him!

[GRUNTS]

Oh! Whoa!

Kahlan,

this has gone on long enough.

SERENA:
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.

[***]

FINN:
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?

KAHLAN:
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.

[MIRA CHIRPING]

There's always hope.

[ALL PANTING]

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?

RICHARD:
I'm right here.

I'm unarmed.

Then you are a fool.

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...

No!
...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?

[CRYING]
SERENA: Yes.

No!

[GASPS]

[BABY CRYING]

Zedd?

Zedd.

Zedd!

Richard.

Oh.

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

KAHLAN:
She dedicated her life
to keeping 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.

[MIRA CHIRPING]

Take Mira.

She will keep you safe.

[***]

[SOBS]

Thank you for coming
back for me.

I asked the Spirits
to protect you,

and they did.

[SNIFFLES]

[***]

[RICHARD GRUNTS]

[***]

They'll be fine.

RICHARD:
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.

With no one to corrupt him,

they can raise him
to be a force for good.

KAHLAN:
But what if we're wrong?

What if we've unleashed
a horrible evil

into the world?

KAHLAN:
What then?

[***]
