My child.

Your eyesight will fail you

if you keep reading
in this light.

Go home.

Soon.

You're getting lost in your
books again, aren't you?

May I ask
what you're working on?

Uh, I really shouldn't say.

- Oh.
- Excuse me.

Livia?

- Good evening.
- James.

It's so late.
What are you doing here?

I've, uh... I've finished.

My son has never looked
so handsome.

But I told you I can't pay you.

You really shouldn't have.

Oh, that's all right.

Consider it a gift.

Well, thank you.

But you didn't
have to come all of this way.

Oh, I went by your house,
but there wasn't anyone there

so I... Aidan wasn't home?

No.

I have to go.

Brother Tovas, would you
put my papers away for me?

Of course.

The Book of Counted Shadows.

It was destroyed by the Seeker.

Uh, the original was destroyed.

Uh, but as I'm sure
my Lord knows,

there are rumors
copies were made.

And you believe this woman
from Briamont,

this librarian,

is on the verge
of finding one of them?

I have been watching her
for some time, my Lord.

She has uncovered
a series of clues

suggesting that one
of the copies

is hidden somewhere
in the library.

She has deciphered all of the
clues save for the final one.

Once that is solved,

the Book's location
will be revealed.

This woman may be useful.

Perhaps we should invite her
to an audience with Lord Rahl.

I doubt her sympathies
lie with us.

Her husband was a scholar
and a misguided dissident.

He was looking for ancient
writings that would

undermine the legitimacy
of your rule, my Lord.

Uh, you'll be pleased to hear
that this traitor

perished at the end
of a D'Haran sword.

Long has the Book of Counted
Shadows eluded me.

As have the secrets of power

contained within its pages.

Do we have troops in the region?

A forward detachment, My Lord.

Order them to secure the library
and find this woman.

The Book will be brought to you
right away.

No.

This Book can be trusted
to no one.

I leave for the library at once.

Welcome to the great library
of Briamont.

Our doors are open to disciples
of learning of all ages.

A friend told us we could find
a particular volume

in your collection.

I'm merely the gatekeeper.

Perhaps if you told me
the title of the book,

I could direct you
to the proper area.

I'm not certain
you would've heard of it.

It's a very old and rare volume.

You should speak
to our librarian.

But she's not here today.

Do you mind if we look
around on our own?

We may need a librarian
after all.

Can you tell us when your
librarian is expected back?

Uh, difficult to say.

The Amulet of Carod.

You're a member
of the Brotherhood.

What do you know
of the Brotherhood.

Only that they served my people

in Aydindril for generations.

You're a Wizard.

Of the First Order.

Zeddicus Zu'l Zorander.

I'm deeply honored.

This is Kahlan Amnell,
the Mother Confessor,

and Richard Cypher,
the Seeker of Truth.

I am your humble servant.

Our librarian, Livia,

has not been here for many days.

She's been having trouble
at home.

She's a widow with a young son.

The boy's always been something
of a rapscallion.

But lately
it's been getting worse

since she lost her husband.

And now the boy's gone missing.

Please, sir.

My father, he beats me
night and day.

Thank you, sir.

May the Spirits protect you.

My own mother,
she put me on the street

with nothing but these clothes
on my back.

Anything you can spare.
No coin is too small.

Hey, you're driving away
my customers.

You wanna know what's really
driving them away?

Mm, that stench.

When's the last time
you had a bath?

Ah! Hey!

Put me down!

Put me down!

Put me down.

It brings a tear to my eye when
a boy your age turns to crime.

I... I haven't
done anything wrong.

Begging is outlawed here.

It's a good thing I found you
before the constables did.

They would've made
an example of you.

I'd be happy to protect you
from them.

But it'll cost you.

This is all I have.

Hey! Unh!

What are you doing?

That's my money!

Now, I'm gonna
do you a favor, son.

I'm taking your money,

but I'm not gonna
break your legs.

You work for me now.

That money is all I have
in the world.

I'll starve.

Then I suggest you get to work.

My snuff box!

That little maggot!

Get him.

Oh! Hey!

Hey.

Aidan?

What are you...?
You have to hide me.

Your mother's been worried
half to death.

Where have you been?
There are men after me.

Angry men.
I'm... I'm taking you home.

There isn't time.
They could be here any minute.

James, you have to hide me,
please.

Aidan?

Are you Livia?

Do you have news of my son?

Is that why you've come?

We're here about something else.

A matter of grave importance.

Where's the boy?

Uh, boy? Wha...? What boy?

Don't play games with me.

Kraddik saw him run in here and
he didn't see anyone come out.

K-Kraddik?

That swindler?
He's as blind as...

something that can't see
very well.

If I learn
you're hiding that boy...

I don't understand.

How did you know I was looking
for the Book of Counted Shadows?

A witch called Shota
had a vision

that you would find the Book

and that Darken Rahl would learn
of your discovery.

So if this witch told you
about the Book,

how is Darken Rahl supposed
to find out about it?

Who else knows
you've been looking for it?

No one.

But there's a scholar
at the library.

He's been asking a lot of
questions about my work lately.

What matters now is finding
the Book before Rahl does

and getting you
far away from here.

I'd do anything
to help the Seeker.

But I can't go anywhere
without Aidan.

Your son?

He hasn't come home
in three days.

It's my fault.

Ever since my husband died,

I've been trying to finish
his work.

Solve the final riddle,
find the Book.

I've become so obsessed,
I left my son alone.

Just when he needed me the most.

I'll find your son.

You have my word.

A friend saw him
on Barter Street.

I've been down there every day,
but those merchants...

They're thugs,
they won't even talk to me.

They'll talk to the Seeker.

I know how hard this is for you,

but we need you to take us
to the library.

Perhaps Kahlan and I

can help you decipher
this final riddle.

I'll get my shawl.

As soon as you find the boy,

you should meet us
at the library.

Livia, is this Aidan?

Livia?

Where did she go?

Mom!

Aidan!

Oh, thank the Spirits.

I'm so sorry. I'll never
leave you alone again.

I promise.
I'm sorry I ran away.

Where are we?

Perfect.

No tracks.
She didn't leave on foot.

There's obviously magic
at work here.

This could be Rahl's work.

We know he wants the Book.

He might have used
some kind of spell

to abduct Livia,
take her to the library?

You and Zedd
should head back there.

I'm going into town. I promised
Livia I'd find her son.

Richard, our mission
is to find the Book.

Aidan's missing
and now so is she.

Somehow I think
there's a connection.

Far be it for us to question
the instincts of the Seeker.

James?

Hello, Livia.

- How did you...?
- It's a long story,

but don't worry,
everything's fine.

The two of you are safe here.

Where are we?

Do you like it?

This vista.

Have you ever seen anything
so perfect?

I'm not sure
about that hill, though.

It throws off
the composition a little.

James, it's beautiful, but...

I know it's a lot to take in.

Do you remember
when I used to...?

I'd come by the library
every day?

You were looking for books
on art and painting.

One of the books I found
was tucked away on a shelf.

It probably hadn't been opened
in a hundred years.

It described a lost form
of magic.

A kind that could only be
mastered by someone like me.

A painter. An artist.

You learned magic?

The book showed me how I could
create my own world.

Anything that I paint
on the outside is sent here

to this place
inside my painting.

That's where we are right now.

Inside the painting.

You see those hills?

I found them on a farm
outside of Dorn.

And the forest?

That's from the grounds
of a D'Haran palace.

I brought them here the same way
that I brought you.

I've wanted to show you
this place for a long time

but not before it was ready.

When Aidan came running in,

there was nowhere else
to hide him.

I knew how worried you'd be,
so I painted you here too

so that you could see
he was all right.

James, I'm grateful to you
for helping Aidan,

but we can't stay here.

Could you send us back?

You don't like it?

No, you don't understand.

The Seeker needs my help.

The Seeker?

There's a very important book
in the library,

and he needs it
to defeat Darken Rahl

and I'm the only one
that can find it.

You met the Seeker?

What are you doing?

We're...
We're friends, aren't we?

Yes.

Then trust me.

Welcome to the great library
of Briamont.

Our doors are open...

Where is the librarian?

She's not here today.

I'm afraid
she's not at all well.

If you'd like to come back
tomorrow...

You will take my men to her now.

Lord Rahl will arrive soon.

Find the woman
before he gets here.

This library is now
under the authority

of the Dragon Corps.

Everyone out, now!

I can't walk any faster.

You want to die here?

Are you all right?

Thank the Spirits you found me.

We were on our way to see you.

The D'Harans,
they've taken the library.

Do they have Livia?

No. They were forcing me
to bring them to her.

Do you know where Livia kept
the books she was working on?

Locked in a cabinet
in the south reading room.

I'll slip in and get Livia's
work out of the library.

You two find Richard
and tell him what's happened.

They've sealed the building,
you'll never get past.

Oh, I'll be able to get in.

Have you seen this boy?

Do you know him?
His name's Aidan.

You better talk to them.

Where's the boy?

The last I saw
of that little maggot,

he ran into a painter's
workshop.

Oh, and you just let him go

out of the kindness
of your heart?

No!
You don't understand!

The boy went in
but he never came out.

He just vanished.

Richard.

Why are you here?

Well,
there's been a complication.

Any luck finding the boy?
Someone saw him in a workshop

a few blocks from here.
I'm headed there now.

The Seeker.

I was coming to find you.

Just... Just a moment.

We're looking for a boy.

There.

Mom, look. The library.

James did it.

An enchanted painting.

So Livia and Aidan
are inside the painting?

Yes. Exactly.

Livia told me you needed a book
from the library,

but I couldn't take her
and Aidan out of the painting.

They'd be in danger
from those men.

So instead of bringing Livia
to the library,

you brought the library
to Livia?

Not just the library,
but everything in it.

All the people.
The books.

Amazing, isn't it?

Zedd was in the library

with a D'Haran patrol.

D'Harans?

Zedd's a Wizard.

He should be able
to handle a few D'Harans.

No, you don't understand.

A Wizard's powers are useless
inside my painting.

The only magic that works
in there is mine.

My men tell me
you appeared out of nowhere.

What magic did you use
to hide from us?

Answer me!

Who are you?

Isn't it obvious?
She's an innocent woman

who's brought her son
to the library to read books.

Something I seriously doubt
you're familiar with.

How did you get past
my soldiers outside?

D'Haran scum!
You killed my father!

Aidan, no!

Don't hurt him!

Tell me who you are,

or I'll reunite your son
with his departed father.

I...

I work here.

I'm the librarian.

You need to use your magic

and get them out of there.

I will.
Of course, Confessor.

But I can't.

Not from here.

You see this easel?

To get someone out, I need
to paint them on that canvas.

But I can only do that
from inside the painting.

It's how I designed it.

You can't go in there.

The D'Harans could take you
prisoner or kill you.

What other choice do we have?

Send me into the painting.

Richard...

I'll take care of the D'Harans

and help Livia find the book.

Yes.

And I can follow you in
and paint everyone out.

Where is
the Book of Counted Shadows?

I don't know exactly.

You're gonna find it for me.

Because if you don't...

Hurting the boy won't get you
what you want any faster.

I'll do anything you say.
Just don't hurt my son, please.

Do you have any idea
how stupid you are?

- Aidan!
- Finding that book

won't do you any good.

Because even if you do,

you can't give it
to Darken Rahl.

Do you even know where you are?

Have you looked outside?

You're not in
the Midlands anymore.

It is said that you

are the deadliest of the deadly.

My elite guardians.

And how is it possible
for an entire library

to be spirited away
in front of you?

Did you see nothing at all?

Well, since your eyes
are obviously useless,

allow me to do you the favor
of cutting them from your skull.

My Lord.

One of our soldiers
survived an attack

less than a league from here.

He says his men were set upon
by a Wizard and a Confessor.

I should have known
this was Wizard's work.

And if Zeddicus and
the Mother Confessor are nearby,

the Seeker cannot be far.

Send every last one of these
soldiers into Briamont

and the surrounding area.

Turn over every stone,
search every building

and bring me the Seeker.

Yes, my Lord.

A Wizard must have conjured

this illusion.

You appeared out of nowhere.

You must know something
about this.

Me?

I don't have any magic.

If I did, would I have let
your men capture me so easily?

But if there is magic
at work here,

if this entire building has been
sent to some mysterious realm,

then there's no telling
what other dangers lurk here.

If I was you,

I'd get out of this place
as fast as I could.

Keep him quiet.

Take a quad, scout the area.

Find out who's responsible
for this sorcery.

How long is this going to take?

Something funny?

You look very...

heroic.

A world without magic.

Sounds perfect.

Without magic,

you would be deprived
of your power to Confess.

The Sword of Truth would be
merely a piece of steel.

Magic has its uses,

but sometimes it...

keeps people apart.

Are you ready, Seeker?

It's the Seeker!

Drop your weapon!

You're stalling.

I've been trying
to decipher this clue for weeks.

I don't think
you're properly motivated.

Please!

Let him go.

Drop the sword or she dies.

If she dies, Rahl won't get
his precious book.

He'll kill you himself.

Not nearly as effective
as Wizard's fire,

but sometimes one is forced
to improvise.

James is going to get us
all out of here,

but first we've got to find
the Book.

I wasn't lying to that D'Haran.

I don't know if I can solve
the final clue.

Maybe Richard and I can help.

This merchant claims

to have information
on the Seeker.

Is that so?

Yes, Lord Rahl.

The Seeker threatened me.

He was looking for someone,
a child.

Uh, for what reason,
I don't know.

But I told him where
the boy was last seen.

And where was that?

Surely news of such import

would be worthy of a small
reward of some kind?

Tell Lord Rahl
where you saw the Seeker.

No, no, please, general.

I do understand.

A man should be justly rewarded

for information
as valuable as this.

Tell me
where you sent the Seeker

and rest assured
you'll never want for anything

in this life again.

Oh, you...

You're very generous, my Lord.

Third block south
of Barter Street.

Second door, east side.

Thank you.

You have been most helpful.

I've been trying
to translate this,

but the language must be old.

I've never come
across it before.

Richard has.

It's the language
of the Book of Counted Shadows.

An ancient script
that only the Seeker can read.

What does it say?

"The book you seek
is hidden in a safe place

"between the world below

and the stars above."

That could be anywhere.

No.

It's here in the library.

This is
our astrological collection.

"The stars above."

And these are about the keeper
and the underworld.

"The world below."

"The truth of the words

"of the Book of Counted Shadows

can only be insured
by a Confessor."

My husband spent years
searching for this book.

All the time it was right here.

What we value most

is often closer than we think.

What are you still doing here?

Ha. Art can't be rushed.

D'Haran soldiers
are searching the town.

It won't be long
before they come here.

We can't let Rahl's men get
ahold of the painting.

Once James is inside,
we'll smuggle it out of...

What have you done?

You heard what she said.

The D'Harans are on their way.

She'll be safer in there.

You said you were gonna
get everyone out.

I'm going in next.
After I'm gone,

get the painting out of here.
Bury it in the forest,

someplace no one
will ever find it.

That wasn't the plan.
If you want to save the Seeker

and the others,
you'll do as I say.

Kahlan? What are you doing here?

I don't know.

Livia. Thank the prophets
you're all right.

What's going on?
Why is Kahlan here?

I... I sent her here
to protect her.

We got what we came for.

It's time to go.

Go?

Why would anyone want
to leave this place?

Look at this world I've created.

It's a paradise.

All of us will be safe here.

We'll be happy...

forever.

Where might you be off
to in such a hurry?

James,

if you want
to stay in this place,

that's your choice.

But we have a mission
to complete.

Your mission,

it's to defeat
Darken Rahl, but...

But what if Rahl defeats you?

He'll get his hands on that book

and enslave all the world.

Everyone's better off
if the Book stays here

where Rahl can never get it.

Sentimental tripe.

Tell me.

Did you create these alleged
works of art?

No, Lord Rahl.

The Amulet of Carod.

You must be an ally
of the Wizard.

No doubt
you've seen him recently.

And what is this?

I'm ordering you as a Confessor,

to get us out of here.

You don't have any power here,

no magic.

We're all equals here.

Curious.

Everything I've
been searching for

in this wretched little town

is depicted right here.

The Seeker,
the Mother Confessor,

and the library.

If I was the sort
of person who believed

in myths and fairy tales

I might suspect that this

was an enchanted painting.

It's as you said, my Lord.

It's sentimental tripe.

It's worthless.

Well, then, you won't mind
if I do us all a favor

of destroying it.

My Lord, don't.

If you burn that painting,

you destroy
the Book of Counted Shadows.

You've been a good friend
ever since my husband died

and I'm grateful.

But we can't stay here.

Why would you want to go back?

There are D'Harans out there.

Maybe the same ones
that killed your husband.

Everything you love
is in this place.

Your son, your books...

And what about the Seeker
and his friends?

You can't keep them here.

Aidan needs people around him
who will be a good influence.

Without a father,
he needs someone

to teach him right from wrong.

Can you imagine a better teacher
for him than the Seeker?

You're right.

The boy needs guidance,

and maybe I could give it to him
but not here.

The two of you... I...

I heard what you said
in my workshop.

I saw how you looked
at each other.

Both of you wanted to come here.

Not as your prisoners.

But in the real world,

magic is your prison.

It's what
"keeps people apart."

Those are your words.

Out there,
your love would destroy him

but here, you can be together.

If the Book of Counted Shadows

is in this painting,

then you've won.

Have I?

The Seeker could be learning
the Book's secrets

even as we speak.

But if he's imprisoned in there,

he can never again be
a threat to you.

Enough.

What?

What are you gonna do,
run me through?

If you kill me,

you'll still be here.

In time, all of you
will learn to accept it.

This really is a better place
for all of us.

May I suggest we take
the painting to your sorcerers.

In time, they may find a way

to extract the Book.

Perhaps.

But what of the Seeker?

If his magic is the only kind
that works here,

we need to find
a way to recreate it.

James learned this magic
by reading in the library.

If we could find the books

we might be able to do the same.

James said it could only
be mastered by a painter

like him.

So without talent
it might not work at all.

We have to try.

I could use
some help finding those books.

This doesn't make sense.

What does he hope to accomplish

by keeping us here?

I don't think it
was ever about us.

James.

I know you think
that keeping us here

is going to get you
what you want,

but it's not going to work.

All I want
is to keep everyone safe.

I don't need any magic to know
that it's more than that.

You may have noticed

how Richard and I
look at each other...

but I see how you look at Livia.

I've admired her for so long.

After her husband died, I...

I thought I'd...

I'd have a chance, but...

She never pays attention to me.

That's why I'm so glad
that you're here.

Confessors know
about these things, you...

You can explain to Livia,

convince her
that I'm a good person.

I know how difficult
it can be...

sharing your feelings
with the one you love.

What if she doesn't feel
the same way you do?

Of course she doesn't feel
the same way.

She barely knows me.

So you thought if she was forced

to spend some time with you,

she would get to know you,

see who you really are,

and fall in love with you?

Why couldn't she love me?

I may not be a hero
like the Seeker,

or some great scholar

like her husband, but...

I'm an artist.

I've got so much to give.

I can protect her,

be a father to her son.

You have to give Livia a chance

to know you outside this world.

As beautiful as it is...

it's not real.

Since the Seeker's returned,

he has brought me nothing
but misery and despair.

Time and again he has denied
me victory. No, Egremont.

It ends here.

What of the Book
and its secrets?

Killing the Seeker
is more important than any book,

no matter what secrets
it may hold.

You can't!

What's happening?

My beautiful painting.

Someone's trying to destroy it.

Why would someone do this?
They're destroying paradise!

You can always
make another painting,

but you can't give people
their lives back.

You said you wanted
to protect Livia.

If you love her,
you can't let her die.

James!

I can't paint six people
before the fire gets here.

But you can paint the library
back to where it belongs.

Along with everyone inside.

Get your easel. Let's go!

You'd better hurry.

What about you?

There isn't time.

Richard.

What?
We have to go.

Get to the library.

Faster!

I believe congratulations
are in order, my Lord.

Send the men to the library.

Now!

Follow me.

He did it. James saved us.

We should get moving.

The D'Harans
will be headed this way.

I've masked our trail.
They're not following us.

You can't stay in Briamont.

It isn't safe for anyone
who's helped the Seeker.

Where will we go?

Bishop's Landing
is two days' walk.

The resistance will help you
resettle. I can take you.

Mom, you can't leave.

What about Dad's work,
your books?

I found the one that matters.

And as long as I have you,
I'll be all right.

I think you'll be needing this.

I can't thank you enough.

You may have helped bring
this war to an end.

In his heart,
James was a good person.

Please try to make sure

his sacrifice
wasn't for nothing.

- Don't worry.
- It's only me.

A little light reading?

Not how I'd describe it.

Something on your mind?

I was just thinking about James,

the world he created.

It would have been nice
to visit...

now and then.

I know what you mean.

I'll let you get back
to your book.

This can't be right.

What is it?

It says there's only one way

I can defeat Rahl.

"To vanquish the master of all,

the Seeker must wield
the power of Orden."

Orden?

To do that, we'd have
to get the boxes back,

reassemble them.

The last time we did that...

I almost became
as evil as Rahl himself.
