EGREMONT:
Joyous news, Lord Rahl.

The forces you sent to Kelabra

have delivered
the second Box of Orden.

[***]

Send word to Queen Milena,

tell her that I accept
all her demands,

in return for the third box.

Forgive me, Lord Rahl,

but why would we pay
such a generous price

when one division
of our forces

could crush Queen Milena
to dust?

Once I have all three boxes,

the magic of Orden will give me

unchallenged power
over everything,

and Milena's demands

will be meaningless.

KAHLAN:
There lives Queen Milena.

Not the most beloved monarch
in the Midlands.

When she was still
Princess Milena

she took command
of her father's armies

and attacked
the Kingdom of Tramontana.

Thousands were slaughtered,

because she wanted
a pink sapphire

the size of a large
pumpkin seed.

And she got it.

How many people did she kill
for the third Box of Orden?

Hm.
She inherited it.

It's been in the treasure room
for a thousand years.

We're almost too late!

The talk in the village
is that Queen Milena

has been whipping her servants,
quite literally, unfortunately,

into a frenzy over the arrival
of an emissary from Darken Rahl.

This emissary must be coming
for the third box.

Yes.

When does this emissary
get here?

Tomorrow.

Then we've got one day

to sneak into a locked room

somewhere inside
a heavily fortified castle,

steal the most valuable object
in the world,

and then sneak out again.

Or Darken Rahl gets the box
and rules us all.

If the roast looks
too big to eat,

chop it in half.

You two delay the emissary,

and I'll get into the castle.

How?

"Hear ye, hear ye,

"Ten gold pieces
to the entertainer

"who proves himself worthy
of performing

"at the birthday party
of Her Celestial Highness

Princess Violet of Tamarang."

Entertainer? What does that
have to do with you?

Do you know anyone more
entertaining than me?

[***]

Go on.
Swallow the hilt.

[CHOKING]

Next.

Next.

Next. Next.

Greetings, Your Highness.

[ZEDD GRUNTING]

Hello, Princess Violet.

I'm Mr. Stocking.

Happy birthday.

Guards!

Throw this idiot off the grounds
before I chop off his head.

Forgive me, Your Magnificence,
for disappointing you.

Hey, where are you
going without me?

What do you mean,
"where am I going?"

I lost the job because of you,
you worthless, stinking rag.

First you blame me
for losing the job,

now you blame me
for being stinky.

Something sure smells around
here but it isn't me.

You're hired.

Ruben Rybnik,
grand puppeteer,

at Her Majesty's service.

[***]

[***]

[***]

For the party
I want a puppet of me.

But better
than a stocking puppet.

More lifelike.
Can you do that?

The question, dear princess,
is not what can I do,

but what can't I do.

See this? Solid gold.

I got it for
my fifth birthday.

Eighth birthday.

The rope is made out of the
finest silk in all the Midlands.

It took some old lady
a year to make it.

It's probably worth
more than someone like you

can even imagine.

Oh, I got her last year

so that I could practice
my leadership on her.

He's the puppeteer for my party.

If you don't make me too angry
you will get to watch the show.

Hello.

Excellent demonstration
of leadership, princess.

I'm teaching her etiquette.

But as Your Celestial
Highness knows,

the threat of a blow
is often more effective

than the blow itself.

Maybe where you come from.

Now, show the puppeteer
what I taught you

before I hit you again.

How do you do, kind sir?

[***]

Very well, thank you.

And it is indeed a pleasure
to make your acquaintance.

May I ask your name?

Rachel.

Hm.

Here's my dress.

ZEDD:
Oh, Your Highness,

you are the very soul
of understated elegance.

Now, what would truly set off
Your Majesty's beauty would be--

No, no, of course, your mother
would never let you wear that.

Would never let me wear what?

The famous Pink Sapphire
of Tramontana.

I'm sure when you're a little
older, you'll be allowed to.

I'm allowed to wear any jewel
in the castle right now.

But surely the Pink Sapphire
of Tramontana

is locked in a vault.

My mother lets me go anywhere
in the castle,

even the Treasure Room.

I think I could go
get it right now.

Is that really the key

to the Treasure Room
of Tamarang?

I've dreamt all my life
of seeing those wonders.

Keep on dreaming.

I'm the only one allowed
in the Treasure Room.

Wait right here.

[***]

[WHISPERING]
If I were Rahl,

I'd send more
than three soldiers

for the third Box of Orden.

[WHISPERING]
If you were Rahl,

you'd send a small party
of troops ahead

to make sure
the roads were safe.

You know,
if we grabbed one of the scouts,

and you confessed him,

you could ask him nicely to send
a message back, couldn't you?

Telling Darken Rahl
that Queen Milena won't be ready

to deliver the box
for at least a week.

[***]

[ALL GRUNTING]

[GROANS]

[BOTH GRUNT]

[GROANS]

What did you do that for?
I had him.

It looked to me like he had you.

This is what
I was afraid of.

That I'd save your life?

That you'd let
your feelings for me

get in the way of the mission.

He was about to kill you,
and I stopped him.

We had a rare opportunity,

and we missed it because
you were being overprotective.

[***]

What's that?

It's a Journey Book.

It's how Darken Rahl
communicates

with his commanders
from far away.

He writes in his book, and
the words appear in this one.

Richard,
this might tell us exactly

when the emissary is coming,
and by what route.

Rachel.

How did you come by
such a beautiful name?

I was named
after my grandmother.

Where is your grandmother now,
dear one?

The queen's soldiers
killed her.

She didn't fall to her knees
fast enough

when the queen came
riding by in her carriage.

They killed my mother and
my father and my brother too.

[***]

You took the sting away.

Rachel, I need your help
with something very important.

Have you ever been
in the Treasure Room?

Yes.

And have you seen
the Box of Orden?

Yes.

Princess Violet hates it,

because it's the only thing
in the castle

she's not allowed to touch.

And does Violet ever take
the key off her neck?

No.
She even sleeps with it.

Do you sleep in the room
with her?

She makes me
sleep in that box.

But sometimes when
she think's I'm being bad,

she makes me sleep outside.

Sometimes I'm bad on purpose

because I like sleeping
outside better.

I like hearing the crickets.

Rachel, I have something special
I'd like to give you.

[RACHEL GASPS]

It's called
a Trouble Doll.

You tell her your troubles,
and she takes them away for you.

I can't.

Princess Violet says I'm not
allowed to have my own toys.

If I keep it she'll throw it
in the fire.

Rachel,
in all my travels

I have never met
a ghastlier little monster

than Princess Violet
of Tamarang.

Shh!

If the princess knows you said
that she'll have you killed.

I trust you not to tell.

You remind me very much
of my own daughter.

She was brave and strong,
just like you.

Dear one, why don't you take
the doll and hide it?

Princess Violet doesn't need
to know. It'll be our little--

I didn't say you could
talk to him.

You're sleeping outside tonight.

But first, go to the kitchen
and tell the cooks

that my roast at lunch
was dry and stringy.

Tell them that
if that happens again,

they'll have to pay for it
with their hides.

Go!

[***]

Your Magnificence,
if you would excuse me,

I need to make my preparations
for the festivities.

Not one lump in that icing,
or we'll both have hell to pay.

Put some more
salt in that.

Hello, sweetheart!

Hello, Martha.

Just in time to lick the spoon.

Only lick fast,
before you-know-who gets here.

You-know-who says
I'm supposed to tell you

that if the roast is
stringy again, she'll flog you.

You tell that spoiled brat
that all the crops in Tamarang

go to feed the queen
and her rich friends.

There's not a crust
of bread left

for me to feed
my children with,

and if anyone
deserves flogging, it's her.

[***]

This servant has proven herself
unfit for the job

and disloyal
to the crown.

Take her to the block.

And who are you?

Your Majesty,

it is the highest honor
of my life

to present to you
your humble servant,

Ruben Rybnik, grand puppeteer,

graciously chosen
by your daughter

for the amusement
of her guests.

I applaud your alacrity
in stamping out insolence,

but if Your Majesty disposes
of such a talented cook

before the banquet,

I do hope the princess doesn't
miss her favorite dessert.

Mm, mm, mm...

Release her.

She shall be granted
a stay of execution

until the party's over.

And as for you,

your access to the castle
shall be strictly limited

to the servant's quarters
and the banquet room.

As Your Majesty wishes.

[***]

RACHEL:
I didn't mean to get
Martha in trouble.

Why do I always
make things worse?

I wish I could run away
from here.

With you.

We'd go so far away

that nobody would ever find us.

Don't be sad, Rachel.

[***]

Ruben is going to take you
away with him.

But first he needs to get hold
of the Box of Orden

so that Queen Milena can never
hurt anyone ever again.

And for that,
he needs your help.

And he needs you
to be very, very brave.

[***]

[DOOR CREAKING]

[***]

Well done, Rachel.

Sara told me you needed help.

You gave her a name.

I'm sure that made her
very happy.

Now wait here with Sara, and
when I come back with the box,

we'll leave together,

and you'll never see
this castle again.

Where will we go?

I don't know just yet,

but I promise
I'll find you a safe place,

with people
who will be overjoyed

to have a girl as wonderful
as you to care for.

RICHARD:
Darken Rahl is coming.

What?
Look. Right here.

According
to yesterday's orders,

Rahl is coming
for the box himself.

Kahlan.

For the first time, ever,

we know exactly where Rahl
is going to be.

I can kill him.

But he'll be surrounded
by soldiers, bodyguards...

I can drop a running deer
at 200 paces with one of these.

And Kahlan, we get to choose
exactly the spot we shoot from.

All we need to do
is send a message back,

directing Lord Rahl to
the perfect spot for an attack.

[***]

What are you doing?

The magic of the Journey Book
only works

when the words
are written in blood.

Well, then we'll use mine.

Oh. I thought you weren't
being overprotective.

I was--

EGREMONT:
We've received word
from our scouts.

The bridge on the main road
to Tamarang

has been
washed out by a storm.

We're being advised to take
the road through the Iron Hills.

Through the narrow canyons and
dark woods of the Iron Hills?

Yes, My Lord.

It will delay you
by a day,

but it could take weeks
to rebuild the bridge.

[***]

[SIGHS]

[***]

[WHISPERS]
My key!

[***]

[CHANTS IN ANCIENT TONGUE]

What are you doing in here?

F-Forgive me, Princess.

My-- My curiosity overcame me.

How stupid
do you think I am?

You have two seconds
to tell me what's going on

before I scream my head off
and wake up the whole castle.

You may want to turn
and look in the mirror

before you make good
on that threat.

[***]

My face! My beautiful face!
What have you done to me?

Change me back right now
or I'll chop your head off!

How will you get rid of the
warts if you chop my head off?

It's called
a Tattletale Curse,

Your Celestial Highness.

I can take it away.

But if you ever even
think of telling on me,

the warts will reappear.
Forever.

Whether I'm there or not.

I got the box,
and I fixed Violet for good.

By sunrise
we'll be six leagues away.

What about Martha?

Who?
Martha.

The one whose head the queen
is gonna chop off

after the party.

We can't leave without her.

We don't have time to go
to the servant's quarters.

If Rahl gets his hands
on this box,

he'll chop off
more heads than there are

in the entire
Kingdom of Tamarang.

I'm so sorry, but there are
too many lives at stake.

But Martha has three children.

If the queen kills her,
they'll starve.

[***]

[SIGHS]

[***]

MILENA:
Post 16 extra men
on the south battlements,

and 30 on the north.
Leave nothing to chance.

What, may I ask,
is my daughter's puppeteer doing

lurking about the castle
at this hour?

I, uh, awoke
with a growling stomach

and went to the kitchen
for a late night snack,

and was just on my way back
to the servant's quarters.

[***]

Guards,

see to it that the puppeteer
finds his way back.

And remain stationed
outside his room,

in case he decides he needs
anything else.

[***]

Where's Violet?

In the banquet room inspecting
the party decorations.

We don't have much time.

The queen's guards
are following me everywhere,

they're right outside
the door.

If they're following
you everywhere,

how are you gonna get
the box out of the castle?

Rachel,

it's up to you now.

Me?

I'd give all the riches
of all kingdoms in the world

not to have to place
such a terrible burden on you.

If there was any other way,
I--

Don't be sad, Ruben.

I can do it.

I want to do it.

Listen very carefully.

Go to the kitchen and ask
Martha for a loaf of bread.

Cut the loaf in half
and hollow it out.

Hide the box inside.

Tell the guards at the gate
that the princess has sent you

to sleep outside.

Go straight
through the woods,

turn right at the stream
and follow it to the hill

that overlooks the castle.

You'll find friends there.

Their names
are Richard and Kahlan.

What about you and--
And Martha?

The queen isn't
going to let me leave

until I finish
the puppet show.

And when I'm done, I promise
I'll do what I can for Martha.

Rachel, you are now the most
important person in the world.

Don't worry.
It'll be easy to get out.

Everyone treats me
like I'm invisible anyway.

[CHUCKLES]

You have to go now.

Good luck, dear one.

Martha, may I please
have a loaf of bread?

Oh, I'm sorry little one.

All of the bread is already
in the banquet room.

I wanna lick the bowl!
Where is it?

[GASPS]

What are you doing in here?

Nothing.

Do you have something
behind your back?

Show me your hands then.

It's a present.

I wanted it
to be a surprise.

Happy birthday,
Princess Violet.

You call this a present?

Where'd you get it?
The trash?

RACHEL:
No!

Why isn't my cake
in the oven yet?

I...just need to add
the cardamom.

I hate cardamom.
It makes me sneeze.

Just put it in already.

Are you deaf?

[***]

[BIRDS CHIRPING]

Richard,
what if this is it?

What do you mean?

I mean,
what if you kill Rahl?

It would all be over.

The magic hold he has
over his forces would be gone.

Some people might fight for a
while, but most would wake up,

go back to their lives,
to their families.

So could you.

I have no family left.

You could find somebody
to start one with.

[***]

[HORSE WHINNIES]

[***]

MAN:
Hyah! Hyah!

That's not him.

His hands aren't holding
the reins,

they're tied to them.

Then he must know the message
in the Journey Book

didn't come from
one of his own people.

So he sent a double.

But if that's not him,
then where is he?

[***]

So sorry to interrupt
the party.

Lord Rahl, what a welcome
and unexpected honor.

The honor is all mine.

How lovely you look today,
Queen Milena.

And Princess Violet,

so beautiful.

The image of her mother.

If I cut between
the two roses,

we can get the box out

and I can fix the damage
so nobody will notice.

Now, quickly.

What are you doing?

The queen wants the cake
in the banquet hall now.

[ALL GASP]

[APPLAUSE]

Lord Rahl, before we adjourn
to the Treasure Room,

won't you consider
doing us the honor

of cutting the cake?

It would be
my great pleasure.

[***]

Wait!

Who is this man?

My apologies, Lord Rahl.

He's nothing but
a common entertainer

who doesn't know his place.

I'm so sorry, Your Supreme
and Magnanimous Lordship.

I only meant to say that the
princess specifically requested

that we have the puppet show
before the cake.

What are you--?

Oh.

Yes, I want
the puppet show first.

May I present myself?

Ruben Rybnik, grand puppeteer.

MILENA:
Oh, Lord Rahl.

If you would grant
this indulgence,

it would mean so much
to my daughter.

We can discuss our business
after the party.

Unless of course the box
is of no importance to you.

Of course, Queen Milena.

Anything for
the birthday girl.

Thank you, Your Lordship.

ZEDD [IN GIRL'S VOICE]:
So then my pony pranced with joy

because it knew it belonged
to the prettiest princess

in all the land.

[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
When I was 3,

and too small to ride
a real pony...

As charming as this is,

we do have more important
matters to attend to.

Of course, My Lord.

Finish quickly, puppeteer.

Lord Rahl has more important
things to do

than watch
your marionettes.

Yes, Your Majesty.

[AUDIENCE GASPS]

ZEDD [IN RICHARD'S VOICE]:
Beware, Darken Rahl,
I am the Seeker.

[AUDIENCE GASPS]

The time
has finally come

for me to kill you
and fulfill the Prophecy.

What is the meaning of this?
Stop this at once.

No.

No, please,
continue with the show.

I'd like to see how
this little fairy-tale ends.

Come and fight me,
you coward!

[AUDIENCE GASPS]

ZEDD [IN RAHL'S VOICE]:
I came here to enjoy myself

and celebrate
the princess' birthday.

And here you are,
as always,

trying to spoil the fun
for everybody.

You know, you really are
the worst Seeker ever.

I'm going to have to
kill you now

and end your silly quest.

[LAUGHING]

[ALL APPLAUDING]

Now, shall we cut the cake?

Lord Rahl, wait!

The show isn't over.

Why, it's just begun.

Still here, Rahl?

Is that the best
you can do, Seeker?

Fighting with you is so dull
I'm afraid I might fall asleep.

I beg you, stay awake. A hero
as great and noble as myself

would never kill a man
in his sleep.

RAHL PUPPET:
Your vanity is even greater

than the size of your sword.

Enough talk.
It's time for you to die.

RAHL PUPPET:
Oh, somebody's going to die,
that's for certain.

But I rather suspect
it isn't going to be me!

[BOTH GRUNTING]

Well done, puppeteer.

Forgive me, princess,

but the dull
business of state is calling.

As it is to your mother.

Highness?
Certainly, My Lord.

[CROWD CHATTERING]

[***]

SARA:
Hurry, Rachel.

They're on their way
to the Treasure Room.

[PANTING]

[***]

Are you trying to trick me?

I'm sorry?

This box is a counterfeit.

That's not possible.

Isn't it?

Someone has used magic to turn
an ordinary spice box

into a look-alike
Box of Orden.

But there is nobody
with magic powers in my castle.

Your stupidity is stunning!

[BOX CRASHES]

Seal the castle.
No one gets in or out.

And bring me the puppeteer.

[***]

Queen Milena tells me

that you arrived in Tamarang
two days ago.

Yes, Lord Rahl.

I heard the princess
was looking for entertainers

and this opportunity to perform
for you and for Her Majesty

has been the pinnacle
of my career.

Perhaps Your Lordship
has called me here

to see more of my artistry?

Oh, no, that's quite all right.

I already know
what a master you are

at the art of pulling
people's strings.

Bind his hands.

What's this?

A cautionary measure
meant to insure my safety

against an untimely blast
of wizard's fire.

Wizard's fire?

RAHL:
Puppets dancing
all by themselves.

It certainly looked like
Wizard's work to me.

Oh, Lord Rahl,
you flatter me too much.

I'll show you how
the illusion works

if you promise
not to tell a soul.

Why don't you show me

how this illusion
works instead?

Only a Wizard
of the First Order

could conjure a false
Box of Orden.

This looks like
an ordinary spice box to me.

Don't play games with me.

Only three Wizards
of the First Order

have been born
in a hundred years.

One died.

One works for me.
And the third,

oh, what was his name?

Oh, yes.

Now I remember.

His name was
Zeddicus Zu'l Zorander.

He disappeared
right around the time

I cleansed the town
of Brennidon

in an attempt to save
the Midlands

from the false promises
of the Seeker.

But now the Seeker is back.

And here you are.

And here I am.

But where is the box?

[***]

Halt.

No one goes in or out.

But I go in and out
all the time.

Sorry, little one.

The orders came
from Lord Rahl himself.

Can I have your name?

So I can tell the princess
I tried to follow her orders

but you wouldn't let me.

She likes to chop people's heads
off who don't obey her.

Especially on her birthday.

[***]

RAHL:
Tell me where the box is.

Now.

I've hidden it.

Magically.

Kill me and you'll
never find it.

I have no intention
of killing you, Zeddicus.

I'm sure you'll keep your secret
till your dying breath,

but I do enjoy a challenge.

Lord Rahl,
I've received a report

that one of Milena's guards

has allowed someone to pass
through the south gate.

Who?

A little girl.
The princess' playmate.

Find the girl.

[***]

[PANTING]

[***]

I think I went the wrong way.

Sara, which way
should I go?

Please help me.

SOLDIER:
There she is!

[GASPS]

[***]

[***]

[SWORD STRIKES BODY]
Aah!

[GROANING]

[***]

[ALL GRUNTING]

SOLDIER:
Over there!

We have to run.
Come on.

[***]

[ALL PANTING]

Are you Richard and Kahlan?

Yes, we are.

Ruben told me to find you.

Is this Ruben a tall man
with long white hair?

Thinks he's really funny?

[***]

He did it.

Where's Zedd?

I mean, uh, Ruben?

I think the bad man got him.

[ZEDD CHUCKLES]

The great Darken Rahl,
master of D'Hara,

was defeated not by the Seeker
nor by the First Wizard,

but by a 10-year-old girl.

[ZEDD CHUCKLING]

[LAUGHING]

[***]

[GRUNTS]

[PANTING]

It's a puppet.

I told you I was
the grand puppeteer.

[***]

[SCREAMING]

Rachel.

Sara, you can talk!

Where's Ruben?

Right here, hoping there's
a bite of cake left.

Ruben! Martha!

Martha, I was so worried
about you.

I know you were, sweetheart.

Ruben told me you wouldn't
leave the castle without me.

I've told my boys
so much about you

and they've always wanted
a little sister.

Would you like to come
and live with us?

[GASPS]

But Martha, what about
your own children?

How will you feed all of us?

Now, that reminds me,

where was it?

Aha.

KAHLAN:
It's the Pink Sapphire
of Tramontana.

Think of it as a parting gift
from Princess Violet.

I'm sure she would want you
to have it.

[***]

Lord Rahl, how can I ever
begin to apologize?

Be assured I will not rest
until the rats in my dungeon

are devouring the remains
of that thieving, lying Wiz--

Wizard.

Queen Milena,
it's quite all right.

You couldn't have known that
we were all being deceived.

[CHUCKLES]

Thank you
for your hospitality.

[GASPS]

[GASPING]

RAHL:
Have no fear for your daughter,
Your Highness.

She will grow up surrounded
by the most precious jewels.

As a slave
in the deepest caverns

of the Mines of Athanasia.

[MILENA GASPS]

Bring me
my Journey Book.

Fascinating reading.

Lord Rahl leaves no detail
unattended to in his orders.

You were so close to him.

No matter how close I get,

only the Seeker can deal
the final blow.

No going home yet.

Lord Rahl is sending
a message.

What's he saying?

Four words.

"I will find you."
