ZEDD:
Richard Cypher,
you are the true Seeker.

(heroic theme playing)

WOMAN:
Bring him down!

( crowd cheering)

MARTHA:
Never forget this day, Rachel.

Tell your grandchildren
that you were there

when word came that
the great tyrant Darken Rahl

was gone forever.

Where did he go?

Thanks to the Seeker,
that monster is dead

and rotting for all eternity
in the Underworld.

(ominous theme playing)

( crowd moaning)

KEEPER:
Darken Rahl.

Kneel before the Keeper.

( panting)

Forgive me, Master.

I have failed you.

KEEPER:
No. You have succeeded.

Exactly as I intended.

My Lord?

And now you will help me
expand my dominion

to the World Above.

Yes, Keeper.

But I must warn you.

There is one who will
stand in your way.

As he stood in mine.

There is no escape from death.

Even the Seeker
will belong to me.

MAN:
To the Seeker.

ALL:
To the Seeker!

( all chattering)

( children singing)

This is flattering,

but we should
get on the road soon.

If we leave now,

we can put in six leagues
before the moon goes down.

And offend our hosts?

The tyrant's only
been dead a week.

Savor each victory, Richard,

as though it were
a juicy leg of mutton.

You never know when
it'll be your last.

Well, that's encouraging.

( crowd applauding)

( crowd cheering)

KAHLAN:
That was lovely.

ZEDD:
Rachel.

Come.

( Zedd chuckles)

Sit, child.

Are you going to stay here
with us?

It's nice here.

I wish we could.

But Richard and I need to see
Kahlan safely to Aydindril.

Why are you going there?

That's where
the Mother Confessor presides.

The Midlands under
the rule of law and justice.

I never thought
I'd live to see the day.

Are you going to marry Richard?

MARTHA:
Rachel!

Uh, it's all right.
Um...

No, we're not getting married.

Don't you love each other?

Yes.

But my duties as a Confessor,

my powers,

keep me from being able

to be a wife to Richard.

That's not fair.

It's awfully warm in here,
isn't it?

How about a special treat
to cool you off?

Yes, please.

ZEDD:
Do you like apple cider?

( Zedd speaks in ancient tongue)

There you go, my dear.

( Zedd chuckles)

( all screaming)

( all scream)

( roars)

( grunts)

(dramatic theme playing)

( growling)

( roars)

( growling)

( crowd screaming)

Everybody stop!

The creature can only
see you if you move.

( creature growling)

(tense theme playing)

( growls)

( sobbing)

Martha!

Rachel. Stop.

RICHARD:
Hey, you. Over here.

( creature growling)

Come on.

( roars)

( grunts)
( growling)

Hyah!

( creature growling)

( whinnies)

(heroic theme playing)

( whinnies)

Right here, you bastard!

( creature growling)

( screeching)

( sighs)

( creature screeching)

(mysterious theme playing)

TRIANA:
We're wasting time, Cara.

You're disturbing my bath,
Triana.

While you're washing your hair,

D'Hara is going to pieces.

We should go to
the People's Palace now.

And do what when we get there?

Loot the wine cellar?

We swear our allegiance
to Lord Rahl.

Lord Rahl is dead.

If he were the last
of his bloodline,

then our Agiels would
have lost their power.

(tense theme playing)

If and when the new Lord Rahl
should claim the throne,

we'll decide if he's worthy
of our services.

Until then,

who better to bring order
to the territories

than the Mord-Sith?

I've called for a meeting

of all our sisters
at the Temple of Jandralyn.

We leave today.

When did you become queen?

I must have missed
the coronation.

( Triana screams)

( grunting and coughing)

I demand an honorable death.

It's my right as a Mord-Sith.

You deserve no honor.

You will stay alive,
and serve me.

( Triana coughing)

(ominous theme playing)

Does anyone else have a problem?

RICHARD:
Tracks came from down here.

(suspenseful theme playing)

KAHLAN:
What in the name of the Spirits?

It's as I feared.

The creature has escaped
from the Underworld.

It's a screeling.

KAHLAN:
Like the nursery rhyme.

The screelings are loose,

The Keeper may win,

His assassins have come
To rip off your skin.

If I remember right,
the poem says

the only way to kill it
is to hack it into pieces.

Richard tried hacking it
with the Sword of Truth.

It didn't even seem
to hurt the creature.

If we can't kill it,
we'll find it and trap it.

Our problems are far greater
than one nasty monster.

This crack in the earth,

it's a tear in the veil
that separates the Underworld

from the World of the Living.

As long as it's open,

there's no way to prevent
the Keeper of the Underworld,

the great enemy
of all that walks,

breathes and grows in the light,

from sending his minions

to bring death
to every living thing.

I fear the screeling
is but the vanguard.

KAHLAN:
How could this
have happened?

In all my years as a Wizard,

I have only known
one form of magic

strong enough to tear the veil.

The Power of Orden.

RICHARD:
This happened when
I killed Rahl.

When the Boxes of Orden
exploded.

Wizard's Second Rule:

The greatest harm can come
from the best intentions.

Well, if I did this,
I'll find a way to undo it.

ZEDD:
The only way I know of
to close the rift

is the way the Creator
sealed the Underworld

at the beginning of time.

The Stone of Tears.

ZEDD:
He who possesses the Stone

would be able
to repair the veil.

Then we'll find it.

The Stone has been lost
for centuries beyond count.

Many have given their lives
searching for it.

If anyone can find it,
the Seeker can.

Kahlan, I share your faith
in Richard.

But the veil is delicate.

In the time it takes
to find one tiny stone

amid all the rocks
and mountains of creation,

cracks like this
could appear anywhere,

spreading and splintering
in all directions.

And then there would be nothing

to prevent the Keeper
from waging war

on the World of the Living.

MAN:
Seeker!

D'Harans soldiers
are in the town.

They're demanding to see you.

(dramatic theme playing)

Darken Rahl is dead.

The war is over.

Lay down your arms,
or you will feel my Sword.

We have not come to fight,
My Lord.

( sword unsheathes)

Master Rahl, guide us.

SOLDIERS ( in unison):
Master Rahl, protect us.

In your light, we thrive.

In your wisdom, we are humbled.

We live only to serve.

Our lives are yours.

(dramatic theme playing)

I was born into the service

of Darken Rahl's father,

Lord Panis Rahl.

Some called him a tyrant,

but in his time there was peace

and order throughout
the territories.

He took pride
in his first-born son.

But as the boy grew older,

the father came to see

the darkness in his son's heart.

( woman grunts)

And his love

for the dark ways of sorcery.

The father began to fear
for the future of his kingdom.

When he learned of a Prophecy

that said he would
sire another son,

one who would kill his
black-hearted older brother,

Panis set out to ensure
the truth of that Prophecy.

He fathered a child

with a young woman

whose bloodline was
as powerful as his own.

Tarralyn Zorander.

That's a lie.

My daughter would never

have lain with Panis Rahl.

Yes, Wizard.
Panis knew this too.

Which is why he wooed Tarralyn

in the guise
of a young shepherd.

In this form, he won her heart,

and conceived a child with her.

But in his pride,

my master made
a foolish mistake.

He boasted to Darken Rahl

that the son prophesied
to kill him would soon be born.

( gasps)

In a rage,

Darken Rahl slew his own father

and commanded me
to dispose of the body.

But I convinced Panis Rahl's
most faithful Mord-Sith

to revive him
with the Breath of Life,

( gasps)

Then killed her
to protect the secret.

While Panis went into hiding,

I dispatched a rider
to Tarralyn's father,

to warn him that Darken Rahl
had ordered the death

of all first-born sons
of Brennidon,

where the Prophecy said
the child would be born.

( crowd screaming)

( grunts)

I never knew who sent me
that message.

And we never knew
if you received it.

This is some sort of trap.

It's no trap, My Lord.

I have carried this secret
for 24 years,

waiting for the day that
the Prophecy might be fulfilled,

so that I could pledge
my loyalty to you

and to escort you
back to the People's Palace

to assume your rightful place
on the throne.

If you do not believe me,

order your Confessor to do what
she must to verify my words.

There's no need.

He's telling the truth.

(dramatic theme playing)

Tighter.

Yes, Mistress.

Is there anything else
I can do to please you?

(suspenseful theme playing)

I'm sure there is.

When we have more time.

(mysterious theme playing)

Lord Rahl.

Scrubbing the floors, Triana?

I would've thought that
were beneath your station.

You're alive.

No, not alive.

But still your master.

And I need you to perform
a special task for me.

And for the one I serve.

Lord Rahl serves no man.

Not a man, Triana.

But we all have our masters.

Mine is
the Keeper of the Underworld.

And when he conquers all life,

those who stood by him
will be rewarded.

If my Lord follows the Keeper,
then so do I.

But Cara has taken command.

Cara helped the Seeker
to kill me.

She cannot be trusted.

Which is why before
you begin this special task

I have for you,

you and your sisters
must destroy her.

ZEDD:
How could I have been so
consumed by the acquisition

of magic and power
that I neglected

to protect my own daughter?

Zedd, I'm sorry.

Listen to me,

thinking of myself,
when you've just learned

that the great tyrant
you fought so hard to kill

was your own brother.

No. He wasn't.

Richard, I know this is
hard to accept but...

Kahlan, I'm not challenging
the words

of the Mother Confessor here.

But blood isn't
what makes somebody family.

I didn't share blood with
George and Mary Cypher,

but they'll always be
my parents.

Now Zedd, do you have any idea

where we can pick up the trail
of the Stone of Tears?

If there is a clue,

it's to be found
in the ancient volumes

at the Wizard's Keep
in Aydindril.

Go, find what you can.
Kahlan, stay here.

Call the people
of the town inside,

board up every window
and doorway.

What about you?

The screeling
is still out there.

I'm gonna hunt it down
and kill it.

You say you and your men
will follow me?

To the death, My Lord.

Maybe with a few more swords,

we can hack this thing
to pieces.

And then we're going
to the People's Palace.

You're going to proclaim
yourself the new Lord Rahl?

You said it yourself.

Our problem is a lot bigger
than one monster.

With the veil torn,
the Keeper will wage war

on the World of the Living.

And if we have
to fight that war,

we could use an army behind us.

I must warn you to expect
violent opposition, My Lord.

What are you talking about?

My men and I alone bear
the secret to your parentage.

Many D'Harans will not easily
accept your claim to the throne.

In order to win the allegiance
of the greatest number,

I recommend you
immediately execute

every member
of the Third Battalion.

(tense theme playing)

I'm not gonna kill my own men.

They are D'Harans, My Lord.

If they are to follow you,
they must fear you.

I'll find a way
to deal with them.

Right now,
we're going to kill a screeling.

(heroic theme playing)

( screeling growling
in distance)

Wolves?

That's no wolf.

( Cara grunting)
( Agiel whining)

(dramatic theme playing)

Since the custom
has been broken,

we won't give her
an honorable death.

( grunts)

TRIANA:
We will leave her,

to that shrieking creature,

or the townspeople.

Whoever gets her first.

(suspenseful theme playing)

( flies buzzing)

TRIMACK:
The work of the screeling,
My Lord.

RICHARD:
We'll find him
before he kills again.

( children whimpering)

(suspenseful theme playing)

What is that?

( all screaming)

( all coughing)

(ominous theme playing)

MARTHA:
Rachel!

RACHEL:
Martha!

Protect your daughters.

Mother!

GIRL: Mama!
WOMAN: Sarah!

( screams in distance)

( bird caws in distance)

MAN:
No mercy!

( all shouting and grunting)

Trimack.

Forgive me, Lord Rahl.

I have failed to protect you.

(dramatic theme playing)

Seeker?

Why are you doing
marching with these dogs?

Call off your men,
and I'll call off mine.

Put down your weapons!

Stand down!

(dramatic theme playing)

I'm Morwyn Bryer,

leader of the resistance
in this valley.

We got word the Dragon Corps
were marching on Ehrengard

and gathered as fast
as we could.

But they've already left a trail

of slaughtered men,
women and children.

Those people were killed
by a screeling,

escaped from the Underworld.

A screeling?

These men are helping me
track it.

They say the Seeker is wise,

but only a fool
would trust D'Harans.

You will address Lord Rahl
with respect.

Lord Rahl?
It's not what you think.

The Seeker has taken on the
title of his greatest enemy?

A title he was born to.
We fought to trade Rahls?

You fought for your freedom,
and you won it.

The war against
the D'Harans is over.

But we're fighting
a new war now,

against an even
more powerful enemy.

And if we stand together...

You expect us
to fight shoulder to shoulder

with the butchers who massacred

our friends
and defiled our daughters?

Rebel coward!

Any man here who raises
a weapon against another

will die by my sword!

( bell tolling)

MAN:
It's Ehrengard.

The screeling must have
gone back to the town.

Go.
Protect your families.

Let's move.

KAHLAN:
We saved as many as we could,

but they got away
with seven girls.

Including Rachel.

We'll get them back.

( women sobbing)

We're going after the Mord-Sith.

My Lord,

we came here to escort

the new Lord Rahl
to the People's Palace,

not save a few little girls.

You know what will happen
to those girls.

Torture.

Death to those who won't break.

That is how
they become Mord-Sith.

How it has always been.

So they can serve the Lord Rahl.

And if you truly were him,

you would not pity them.

You would know that some day
you will need to use them.

That's not how things
are going to be anymore.

Maybe old Trimack was wrong.

Maybe this man
is too soft-hearted

to lead D'Hara...

Anyone else wanna
question my orders?

(dramatic theme playing)

( grunts)

The Mord-Sith temple
was abandoned, Lord Rahl.

We found this one in a gully.

RICHARD:
Cara.

Lord Rahl?

You've certainly come up
in the world.

Where are the children?
What children?

The girls your sisters
took from Ehrengard.

If any girls were taken,
my sisters must have done it

after they beat me
and left me to die.

I'll get the truth out of her.

You can tell she's lying?

Their training makes
the Mord-Sith hard to read.

But I'll find out.

She's the one who helped me
kill Darken Rahl.

Whatever she did,
she did to save her own skin.

Richard, we can't trust her.

I'm not telling you
to trust her.

I'm telling you to trust me.

( sighs)

You're going to help us
find your sisters.

If you help me kill them.

( girl sobbing)

Don't be scared.

The Seeker and the Confessor
will save us.

TRIANA:
I said no talking.

(ominous theme playing)

No.

It's my fault. Punish me.

Since you're so eager,

I don't see why we couldn't

begin with your training
right now.

(tense theme playing)

Triana. I got your message.

What's so important?

How about a treasonous
Dragon Corps squadron?

Escorting none other
than the Seeker

to the People's Palace.

To proclaim him
the new Lord Rahl.

I thought that might
interest you.

That way.

Wait.

If they went that way,

they took the girls
to the Drowning Cave.

Drowning Cave?

During the rains
the river floods it.

Uncooperative trainees are left
there just before a storm.

Charming.

CARA:
In the dry season,
you can get in,

but only through
a high narrow canyon.

But once you're in,
there's no other way out.

It's a trap.

And I'm sure it's just
a coincidence

that a squadron
of the Third Battalion

has been camped in the meadow
just south of the cave.

Richard, maybe this was
their plan all along.

Lure you into an ambush

because they knew you would do
anything to save the children.

Yes, the Seeker's
kind-heartedness

is legendary.

If water flows into the cave
it has to flow out somewhere.

There's an aquifer
that empties into the marsh.

But it's barely big enough
to crawl through,

and anybody who tried
would be greeted

by Mord-Sith as soon as they
came through the other side.

We can draw most of the
Mord-Sith out of the cave

if we stage an attack
through the canyon.

Richard,
that's exactly what they want.

That's what we'll give them,

while you go through the aquifer
and rescue the girls.

You'll show her the way.

Anybody who marches
into that canyon

will be outnumbered
and pinned down.

They'll be slaughtered.

Death means nothing to us,
Lord Rahl.

We will do whatever you command.

(majestic theme playing)

SHOTA:
Hello, Zeddicus.

What brings the great Shota
so far from Agaden Reach?

The great Zeddicus, what else?

A personal visit
to an old friend?

( Zedd chuckles)

If you're looking for answers,
I don't have any yet.

I'm on my way to Aydindril
in search of them.

I've already had a vision

of exactly what you will
discover in Aydindril.

A passage in
the Seventh Codex of Sandragon

will direct you
to the hiding place

of the Stone of Tears.

I couldn't have hoped
for better news.

Tell me what the passage says
so I can relay it to the Seeker.

Yes, we're all relying
on the Seeker.

But not Richard Rahl.

It is written in
the Halls of Prophecy

that Richard Rahl will fail

in his quest
to defeat the Keeper.

(dramatic theme playing)

Richard puts
no faith in Prophecy.

He will defeat the Keeper
just as he defeated Darken Rahl.

Yes, he did defeat Darken Rahl

exactly as
the Prophecies predicted.

But now the Prophecy says
he will fail.

You can't pick or choose

which Prophecies you want
to believe in, Zeddicus.

So I should throw up my hands,
give up?

No, the Prophecy is forked.

It can be avoided.

But if the World of the Living
is to be saved,

you must name a new Seeker.

What kind of trick is this?

Richard is the one, true Seeker.

Are you speaking now
as a Wizard of the First Order?

Or as his grandfather?

Three signs will
come before you.

First,

Richard will deny
that which gives him power.

Second,
he will embrace the one in red.

And finally,
he will bear the mark

of the one who will
destroy all of life.

When you've seen
these three signs,

you will know that
I have spoken the truth.

And if you do not then
do what must be done,

the Keeper will win,

and the World of the Living
will be devoured

by the Realm of Death.

(dramatic theme playing)

(dramatic theme playing)

TRIANA:
Where is the Seeker?

Has your new Lord Rahl
abandoned you already?

Give us the girls,

and we'll let you live.

It is you and your men
who will die here today.

(tense theme playing)

Hold.

Traitors!

Slaughter them all!

For D'Hara and Lord Rahl!

( all shouting)

(dramatic theme playing)

This way.

( Cara panting)

Give me your hand.

( both grunting)

I don't know exactly
what you did

to make Richard trust you.

But if this is
some sort of trick,

I will kill you.

(tense theme playing)

(dramatic theme playing)

( Agiel whining)

( gasps)

(heroic theme playing)

(suspenseful theme playing)

CARA:
Hello, sisters.

( all gasp)

I've brought you a prize.

The Mother Confessor.

(suspenseful theme playing)

( grunts)

( groans)

Kahlan. I knew you'd come.

We have to go. Fast.

Help me get them out of here.

I didn't come for the children.

( all grunting)

(dramatic theme playing)

( both grunting)

This belongs to me.

( Agiel whining)

( panting)

( all chattering)

MARTHA:
Thank you, Seeker.

I shudder to think
what would have happened

if you weren't here.

You should thank these men too.

They fought together

to help save Rachel
and the other girls.

It would have been an honor
to die for Lord Rahl.

My men and I
fight for the Seeker.

Not Lord Rahl.

(tense theme playing)

War is easy.

It's peace
that will break your heart.

Zedd.
Why are you back so soon?

I ran into our old friend Shota.

What did she want?

Zedd, is something wrong?

( screeling growling)

(dramatic theme playing)

MAN:
Run!

( screeling growling)

( men grunting)

RICHARD: Hey!
( roars)

You wanna rip
somebody's head off,

take mine.

( growling)

( yelling)

(dramatic theme playing)

Unh! Zedd, now!

( screeches)

(dramatic theme playing)

( crowd cheering)

"Seek out the abbot
of the Cloister of Ulrich

for he keeps the secret of
the Stone close to his heart."

These are the words
written in Codex.

Ulrich is in the
opposite direction

of the People's Palace.

I'm not going
to the People's Palace.

But I thought...

I'm not claiming the throne.

You're denying that which
would give you power.

What's important right now
is finding the Stone of Tears

and closing the rift.

Richard, the Stone
is a very small object

in a very large world.

Think how much more ground

you could cover
with the armies of D'Hara

under your command.

Even if an army could help us,

how many would I have to kill
to unite the D'Harans?

How long would it take while
the Keeper grows stronger?

And think of the thousands who
saw their brothers and sons die

fighting the House of Rahl.

Would they follow me if I claim

the title of the tyrant
they despised?

Or would I become the same
enemy I'd just defeated?

You could do things differently.

Today you convinced enemies
to fight side-by-side.

A few men.

Against other followers of Rahl
who still wanted to kill me.

If people want to follow me

because they believe
in what I'm fighting for,

I'll lead them.

But I'm not
crowning myself king.

I'm not Lord Rahl.

I'm Richard Cypher.

I'm the Seeker.

And you are
the Mother Confessor.

Zedd and I will see you
safely to Aydindril,

and then we'll hunt
for the Stone.

And when it's over,
I'll come back for you.

Richard, I don't like it.

The two of you alone?

CARA:
Three.

A Mord-Sith serves Lord Rahl.

You don't strike me
as a type of person

who likes to serve anybody.

And I'm not accepting
the title Lord Rahl.

If you're foolish enough

to turn down
the throne of D'Hara,

then you need me all the more.

All right.
Richard.

Twice now she's proven herself
to me. I can use her.

We best say our goodbyes,

I've got a long journey.

Embracing the one in red.

What?

Nothing.

(tense theme playing)

(majestic theme playing)

RICHARD:
Aydindril.

Seventy leagues over that ridge.

I've been thinking.

You said yourself the most
important thing right now

is finding the Stone of Tears.

I should be helping you do that.

What about Aydindril?

I'll get there.

When all this is over.

But as long as
you're still the Seeker,

you need your Confessor
by your side.

(tender theme playing)

(majestic theme playing)

( wind howling)

( crickets chirping)

(dramatic theme playing)

What do you want?

To give you fair warning.

We are brothers, after all.

You're no brother to me.

You've already killed me once.

You can't kill me again.

You believe you're fighting
for peace, for freedom.

But how many have you killed
in this fruitless quest already?

How many will you kill tomorrow?

Everything you do trying
to defeat my master,

only makes him stronger.

You believe you
are serving life, brother.

But the truth is,

you are for the Keeper.

( Richard screams)

ZEDD:
Richard.

( panting)

You all right?

I'm fine.
Just a bad dream.

ZEDD:
Well, it's over now.

( Richard grunts)

(ominous theme playing)

KAHLAN:
What is it?

It's the Mark of the Keeper.

The mark of the one who would
destroy all life.

(dramatic theme playing)

(heroic theme playing)
