ZEDD:
Richard Cypher,
you are the true Seeker.

(heroic theme playing)

( people coughing)

Ohh.

( indistinct muttering)

Seeker?

Our prayers have been answered.

What happened to these people?

They're calling it
Keeper's Blight.

Please, be careful.

It only takes one touch
to pass it on.

Rumor is, it was brought
to our world by banelings.

Who needs a knife when you
can kill with your fingertips?

The sick come here
'cause they believe

that the Monument of Ardris
has the power to heal them.

Most perish within days.

Zedd, maybe the compass
led us here

so we can help them.

( chants in ancient tongue)

( gagging)

Zedd?

This blight...

It's indeed fueled
by powerful black magic.

If I try to absorb it,
it'll kill me.

(ethereal theme playing)

KAHLAN:
No, don't, you'll be killed!

You healed him.

Who are you?

I am the Creator.

All will rejoice in my light.

If she's the Creator,

I'm the Queen of Tamarang.

She's healing people I couldn't.

Maybe, but the Creator lives
in the Spirit World.

This woman is flesh and blood.

I'm going to find out
who she really is.

Kahlan, be careful.

Whoever she is,
she's very powerful.

May I speak with you?

Of course, Kahlan.

I miss our talks.

I beg your pardon?

You used to pray to me
to take care of your mother

after she died.

And to protect your sister
from your father's brutality.

So many pray
for selfish reasons, Kahlan,

but never you.

KAHLAN:
It's so hard to believe.

Faith is hard.

It is all right to have doubts.

You wouldn't be
the Mother Confessor

if you weren't inquisitive.

You're wondering,
if I am who I say I am,

why haven't I come
to this world sooner?

Why have I allowed
so much suffering?

The thought did cross my mind.

I wish I could wave this hand
and make the darkness go away.

The Keeper is as powerful
as I am.

And now that the veil
has been torn,

he's growing stronger.

If you are the Creator,

you could tell us where to find
the Stone of Tears.

Even the Stone of Tears
won't save you

if I don't first destroy

the Keeper's
most powerful servant.

Who?

Richard Rahl.

(ominous theme playing)

Richard isn't a servant
of the Keeper.

The Keeper is devious.

He hides his servants well.

But Richard's actions
clearly show him

to be an enemy of the Light.

But everything he's done...

Has secretly been
to serve the Keeper.

I don't believe that.

Your love for Richard

blinds you
to his true nature, Kahlan.

Just as my love
for the Keeper once blinded me.

You know my story.

Your mother taught it to you.

Yes.

In a time before remembering,

the Keeper's love
for the Creator

brought our world into being.

People were made in their image,
perfect and immortal.

But the Keeper soon grew jealous

of the Creator's love
for her children.

He made your kind mortal,

so he could murder
our firstborn.

He betrayed me,

brought death and suffering
to the world we had created.

I wept.

So profound was my grief
that it took shape.

The Stone of Tears.

I used it to banish
the one I had loved,

trapping him
in the Underworld for eternity.

It was the hardest thing
I've ever had to do.

Just as seeing
Richard's true nature

will be the hardest thing
you've ever done.

I could have simply
destroyed Richard.

But before I do, I need you

and the First Wizard
to see the truth.

So that he will name
a new Seeker,

and you will agree
to come with me

to a place
where you'll be protected.

It is the only way
to ensure my Prophecy.

"As long as the Mother
Confessor's pure heart beats,

the Keeper is doomed to fail."

People believe in Richard.

He's the only one who's fought
for them in a very long time.

And many of them wonder,
as I often have,

if the Creator
has abandoned them.

If you destroy Richard

without giving him
a chance to defend himself,

the people may turn against you.

Please.

Please.

Give me a chance to show you

that his heart
and his motives are pure.

You're very important to me,
Kahlan.

You always have been.

If it will help you
and others accept my decision,

then I will hear
what you have to say.

( whispers):
Ah, thank you.

But the Seeker
will face judgment.

( sighs)

It's a trick.
For all we know,

she's an agent of the Keeper
sent to destroy Richard.

She's telling the truth.

Or at least she believes
what she's saying.

You can't even read a Mord-Sith.

Yet somehow you know what a
woman this powerful is thinking?

There's more to it.
She knows things.

We should leave.

Now.

Resume the search for the Stone.

I can't let Richard
find the Stone.

I've quelled the magic
of the compass.

( indistinct chatter)

Forget the compass. Go.

I can repel her magic.

( people gasping)

I don't want to harm you,
Wizard.

Zedd, no!

She may be strong enough
to kill you both.

And if we run,
the people will believe

what she's saying about me.

They'll turn against me,
and we'll never find the Stone.

I've made mistakes,

but I'm not an agent
of the Keeper.

I don't know
if you're the Creator or not,

but I'm not afraid
to be judged by anyone.

Richard Rahl,
you claim to serve the Light.

Tell us, how have you done so?

I found the Boxes of Orden.

RICHARD:
And used them to kill
the tyrant Darken Rahl.

(epic theme playing)

( shrieking)

You say that
in destroying Darken Rahl,

you were serving me,

but tell us, Richard,

what was the result
of Rahl's death?

ZEDD:
This crack in the earth,
it's a tear in the veil

that separates the Underworld
from the World of the Living.

KAHLAN:
How could this have happened?

In all my years as a Wizard,

I've only known
one form of magic

strong enough to tear the veil.

The Power of Orden.

This happened
when I killed Rahl,

when the Boxes of Orden
exploded.

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.

Creatures from the Underworld,

banelings
returning from the dead

to terrorize the living.

How many of you were aware
it was the Seeker

who unleashed these horrors
upon the world?

( indistinct muttering)

I didn't do it intentionally.

And I've sworn
to find the Stone.

And if you should find it,
what will you do with it?

Use it to seal the rift.

Are you aware of a Prophecy
that says otherwise?

Yes.

RICHARD:
"In the time
of the tearing of the veil,

"should the son of Brennidon
seek the sacred stone,

"he will find it,
only to deliver it

to the Enemy of the Light."

The Creator herself
gives us these Prophecies

to guide our actions.

And yet you continue
your search for the Stone.

I don't believe in Prophecy.

The Prophecy comes from me.

Are you saying you don't
believe in the Creator?

( crowd muttering)

Open your shirt.

Tell everyone what that is.

It's the Mark of the Keeper.

( all gasp)

How did you receive it?

RAHL:
You are for the Keeper.

( screaming)

What did Rahl mean,

"You are for the Keeper"?

Maybe Rahl marked him
because he wanted the Creator

to believe that Richard
had turned against her.

If you really are she,
apparently his plan is working.

The Mark is only bestowed

upon the Keeper's
most loyal servants.

Maia!

Thank the Spirits!

I heard the Creator had returned

and knew in my heart
it must be you.

Who are you?

I'm her mother.

It is wonderful
to see you again, Mother.

You have a mother?

I was born into this world
as all of you were.

You say you're here
to destroy Richard,

but he would've been
just a child when you were born.

I could foresee the horrors

that will one day
threaten the world.

So 20 years ago, I caused myself
to be born to this woman,

knowing my divine strength
would manifest when I needed it.

That's absurd.

What do you mean, "manifest"?

This mortal body
couldn't contain my powers

until it came of age.

Creator, more people suffering
from the blight

have come for you to heal them.

As soon as I've done so,
we will resume.

I always knew one day
she would embrace her divinity.

She doubted it?

It was a heavy burden
for a young girl.

She wanted to be
like everyone else.

But I always knew my daughter

was the living incarnation
of the Creator.

The truth came to me in a vision
before she was born.

When did you see her last?

Two summers ago.

She ran off with a boy
from our village, Jason.

The Creator ran off
with a boy...

She was at that age.

I knew I had to let her go,

and have faith that one day
she would see the truth.

And now she has.

And where is Jason?

They lived in a cabin
south of Rivermore.

Please excuse me.

I want to be with my daughter.

My Creator.

They're both mad.

Maybe so.

Find this Jason.

Mm.

You've left a trail of corpses
in your search for the Stone,

and yet you continue to kill,
knowing that every soul

you send to the Keeper
makes him more powerful.

I only kill
to protect my friends

or other innocent people.

And even then, I only do it
when there's no other choice.

( men grunting)

So you've never killed
for any other reason?

Or when you could have defeated
an enemy some other way?

Yes, once...

( women screaming)

RICHARD:
But I wasn't myself.

You could've taken those men
prisoner,

but instead
you slaughtered them.

They were slavers and murderers.

And it wasn't Richard's fault.

He was possessed
by an ancient spell,

and I taught him to control it.

(dramatic theme playing)

Who dragged you into this fight?

Who are you angry at?

You.

Now we're getting somewhere.

All those years,
you knew who I was

and you said nothing.

You lied to me
about being my grandfather.

You weren't ready for the truth.

You took me out of Hartland.

You named me the Seeker.

You're the one who gave me
this damned Sword!

Richard, no!

No.

He has to stop himself.

Ahh! Uh.

Uh.

He may have refrained
from killing you,

but that doesn't change the fact

that he sent
slavers and murderers

to the Underworld to join
the Keeper's army of souls.

Only because of the magic
that possessed him.

But he was strong enough
to overcome it.

So you were convinced
it was over,

that Richard would never again
succumb to his rage?

It's okay, Zedd.

We're here to tell the truth.

I did have some doubts.

Kahlan, there's part
of the Minders' story

I didn't tell him.

Canton Rahl, the man who first
put the spell on the Minders,

wasn't always bloodthirsty.

He started out as a protector
and benefactor to his people.

But then as his powers grew,

he began to fight and to kill,

and the more he killed,

the more the blood lust
overtook him.

He went mad with it.

And now we know
that darkness is in Richard.

KAHLAN:
But Richard learned
to control the Sword.

He mastered his rage.

Yes.

He controlled the Sword today.

But what about tomorrow?

But my doubts were fleeting.

I am convinced that any rage
Richard may still carry

will never again
get the better of him.

How can you be so sure?

Because I've given up the magic
that fueled my anger.

Tell us how you did that.

WOMAN:
Say the words with me.

( chanting in ancient tongue)

Uh!

You were the most powerful
wizard born in 3000 years,

yet you gave your powers
to someone you hardly knew.

The magic would have killed me.

I didn't have a choice.

You could have stayed
at the Palace of the Prophets,

mastered your wizard powers,

learned how to use them
to serve me.

The Sisters of the Light
told you this,

but you didn't listen.

They lied to me.

Because they were afraid

you would resume your mission
in service of the Keeper,

which is exactly what happened.

I don't serve the Keeper.

No? Tell us.

This woman
you gave your powers to.

Is she a Sister of the Light?

No, she's a Sister of the Dark.

And whom do
the Sisters of the Dark serve?

The Keeper.

( crowd gasping)

(dramatic theme playing)

You knew this, and yet you still
gave this woman your powers.

I made sure she couldn't
keep using them.

Now the Sisters
won't be able to follow you.

All that power. Useless.

With the rada'han
around her neck,

she couldn't use my magic.

So she was never able
to harm anyone, ever again?

No. She escaped.
I don't know how.

I do.

The Keeper has agents
everywhere,

and not all of them
walk on two legs.

Your magic, your han,
was a divine gift from me,

but you gave it willingly
to a Sister of the Dark.

How can you expect us to believe

that you are not
an agent of the Keeper?

Richard.

Hey, what are you thinking?

Honestly?

Yeah.

I'm thinking maybe
the Prophecy is true.

Maybe I'll fail.

You've always said
you don't believe in Prophecy.

There was a Prophecy
that said I'd defeat Rahl.

Maybe I can't ignore this one

just because I don't like
what it says about me.

Richard, this woman,

I don't know
if she is the Creator

or some kind of charlatan.

Cara's trying to find out.

But whoever she is, tomorrow,

we're going to tell
your side of the story.

She and everyone else here

is going to see
what I have never doubted.

Your heart is pure.

You are and always will be
on the side of good.

What if I'm not?

How can you say that?

I'd never willfully
do the Keeper's bidding.

But what if I'm serving him
without even realizing it.

Maybe that's what this is.

Some way of controlling me.

Making me think the wrong
decision is the right one.

Maybe I'm an agent of the Keeper
and I don't even know it.

Hello?

Jason?

( women grunting)

( cries out)

I'm guessing you're Jason.

Are you going to kill me too?

Not if you tell me the truth
about Maia.

( gasps)

What a pleasure this is.

It's not often I'm fortunate
enough to enjoy the company

of two such devout
Sisters of the Light.

I would offer you the chance

to return to the world
as banelings,

but alas,
you're both far too pious

to accept the Keeper's
generous proposal.

Do your worst to us,
Darken Rahl.

You and your Master
will soon be finished,

now that the Creator
has returned

to defeat all those
who serve the Darkness.

Returned?

How?

Where?

You will soon learn everything.

But not from us.

Then allow me
to loosen your tongues.

( screaming)

KAHLAN:
The Seeker is an agent
of light and justice.

And I have faith
that every one of you

will soon shed any doubts
that you may have about him.

Every one of you.

No one has slain more

of the Keeper's servants
than Richard.

Perhaps most terrifying of all

was a creature
known as a screeling.

Tell us what happened
when one of them

crawled out of the rift.

It attacked the people
of Ehrengard.

( loud squealing)

( men yelling and grunting)

Hey!

(heroic theme playing)

You wanna rip somebody's
head off, take mine!

Ahh!

( grunting)

Uh, Zedd, now! Ah.

( screeching stops)

( crowd cheering)

Richard killed the Keeper's pet,

but the Keeper
has many fearsome servants.

I'm sure by now
you all know about banelings.

Ordinary people,
men, women, even children,

who have died but agreed to kill
for the Keeper every day

in exchange for a second life.

Tell us about the first time

you encountered
this horrible new enemy.

It was at a place
called Tothrayne.

MEN:
Uhh!

( men grunting and shouting)

MAN:
They've all gone!

RICHARD:
Not all of us.

Welcome back to Tothrayne.

Ahh!

(dramatic theme playing)

Ahh!

Why would the Seeker
have slaughtered

so many of the Keeper's minions

if he himself
were an agent of the Keeper?

What better way for Richard
to gain the trust

of the Mother Confessor
and the First Wizard

than to slay a few
of the Keeper's pawns?

You may have destroyed
a few banelings,

but isn't it true
that there are thousands of them

wandering the land,
biding their time

until they can make
their next kill?

Lord Rahl.

How may I serve you?

I've been told that
the Creator has returned

to the World of the Living
as flesh and blood.

I'm instructing all my banelings
to search for her.

If it's true, she shouldn't
be hard to find.

Surely the deluded masses
will be abuzz

with the news of her arrival.

I will try to find her, My Lord.

But if it is true,
she will be trying to seal us

back in the Underworld
for all eternity.

If the Creator has been
foolish enough to return

in a mortal body,
then she is vulnerable,

and it is I who shall
extinguish Her Light

for all eternity.

(dramatic theme playing)

Tell us, Seeker,

have you seen Darken Rahl again,
since the day he marked you?

Yes. In the Underworld.

( crowd gasping)

And how did you come
to be there?

I was killed.

Goodbye, Seeker.

RICHARD:
And when I opened my eyes,

I was in a sea of dead souls.

( souls grunting and yelling)

How wonderful to see you again,
my brother.

Welcome to the Underworld.

And what did he say to you?

He made me an offer.

Become a baneling.

Return to your body
before it's too late.

You're a fool if you think
I'm going to kill

to serve the Keeper.

You've already killed
enough people

to earn yourself
a place of honor here.

What difference
will a few more make?

I won't do the Keeper's bidding.

You do the Keeper's bidding
every time you take a life.

The reason you kill
doesn't make a difference.

You want to see your beloved
Kahlan again, don't you?

Kahlan will go on without me,
and so will Zedd.

He'll name a new Seeker.

They'll find the Stone of Tears
and seal the rift,

and you and your master

will be trapped
in this pit forever.

Why would the Seeker
turn down an offer

for a second chance at life

if he is now, and was then,
an agent of the Keeper?

We have only Richard's word
for what he and his brother

said to each other that day.

Even I cannot see
into the realm of Death.

Would you have us believe that
Richard accepted Rahl's offer?

That he is a baneling?

No, the Keeper and his agents
are too clever.

They knew Richard
would be brought back

to the world
of the living by other means.

Tell us how it is
that the Seeker

is standing here again today.

We used magic to revive him.

(dramatic theme playing)

Richard?

( sighs)

Richard didn't need
to become a baneling

because he knew the people
he had tricked into loving him

would stop at nothing
to bring him back.

You have revealed
through Prophecy that

"As long as the Mother
Confessor's pure heart beats,

the Keeper is doomed to fail."

I have.

Then it stands to reason

that if the Seeker
were an agent of the Keeper,

he would have killed
the Mother Confessor

as so many of the Keeper's
minions have tried to do.

And yet, the Seeker has done

precisely the opposite.

Tell us, Mother Confessor,

how many times
has the Seeker saved your life?

More times than I can remember.

The first was the day we met.

Stay back!

Shoot her.

Ahh!

Leave her alone!

KAHLAN:
He saved me again at Tothrayne.

Uh!

He did it again at Stowecroft.

The Mother Confessor's word
is final.

These heroic deeds you describe,

they all happened before
I revealed my Prophecy.

Even after the Prophecy
was known to him,

the Seeker protected
the Mother Confessor's life

when it was threatened
by a Sister of the Dark.

If you don't do as I say,
the Mother Confessor will die.

We can't let her do this.

She's using my life
as a weapon against you.

Right now,
we don't have a choice.

Zedd will find a way
to undo the spell.

Whatever happens,

do not let her get the stone.

I won't let anything
happen to you.

So you left the Mother Confessor
to go with a Sister of the Dark.

Why?

She cast a maternity spell.

Anything that would happen
to the Sister

would happen to Kahlan.

I had to protect her.

Then you found a way
to remove the spell?

No. Zedd did.

So it was in fact
the First Wizard

who saved
the Mother Confessor's life

while you used a pretext
to spend days alone

with a Sister of the Dark.

You're twisting
everything I say!

If Richard
were working for the Keeper,

why hasn't he simply
run me through with his Sword?

Because he needs your help
to find the Stone.

But if I allow him to find it,
he will no doubt kill you,

deliver the Stone to the Keeper,
and the World will be lost.

( crowd gasping)

CARA:
Richard! Kahlan!

Don't listen to her.
This woman is a fraud.

(dramatic theme playing)

This man is Maia's husband.

They were living a quiet life

until the Sisters of the Light
abducted her.

I went with them willingly.

Because they put
some kind of spell on you, Maia.

That's not true, Jason.

The Sisters
are my most devoted servants.

Is that why they were
holding Jason prisoner

and tried to kill me?

They were protecting Jason,

helping him accept my Light.

Jason, tell us
about your life with Maia.

We were so happy
until they came.

Creator.

At last we've found you.

This is madness!

The Sacred Scrolls told us
we would find you

in this province on this day,
and here you are.

Get out of our house!

We both knew
this day might come.

Because of your
mother's visions.

She's out of her mind,
you told me so yourself.

I tried to deny it, but I can
see now I was wrong.

These Sisters have come for me,

just as my mother
always said they would.

Maia, you're not the Creator,

you're my wife.

I don't know what kind of spell
they've put on you,

but I won't let you go.

Creator,
I know you love this man

as you love all your children.

And it would be dangerous for
him if he tried to follow us.

Perhaps one of my Sisters
and I should stay behind,

watch over him,

help him to accept the truth
of who you really are.

Maia?

I'm sorry, Jason,

but I must go with them.

The fate of the world I created
depends on it.

Maia.

Maia.

Jason, before that day, have you
ever seen Maia use magic?

No.

She was an ordinary girl.

So how does an ordinary girl
suddenly become the Creator?

I told you, my divine strength
could not manifest

until my body was mature enough
to contain it.

So tell us,
did the Sisters of the Light

help you manifest
this divine strength?

Yes,

exactly as the ancient scrolls
predicted.

The scrolls also tell us
you are to destroy

the Keeper's deadliest servant,
the Seeker.

Destroy the Seeker?

Why?

We tried to show Richard
the path to your light,

but he refused us.

You are the only one who will
have the power to stop him.

What power
are you talking about, Prelate?

I don't have any magic.

This has always been
the holy purpose

of the Sisters of the Light.

For centuries,
we have been gathering

the most powerful han
in the world,

preparing for this day

when we would return
that power to its divine source.

You.

One by one, the Sisters
surrendered their han to me.

( chanting in ancient tongue)

How many of them
gave you their magic?

All of them.

( chanting continues)

You're not the Creator.

The Sisters of the Light
created you.

The Prelate lied to you,
just like she lied to Richard.

Silence. There is another
agent of the Keeper among us.

( crowd whispering)

Baneling!

Zedd!

Ahh!

You have nothing to fear.
Now that I have returned,

all the servants
of the Keeper will be destroyed.

All of them.

(dramatic theme playing)

I sincerely hope your demise
was not in vain, Drago.

No, My Lord. I found her.

The Creator.
You're certain?

Yes.

She's at the Monument of Ardris.

She's there to pass judgment
on the Seeker.

KEEPER:
The Creator, are you certain?

As certain as I can be, Master.

She has demonstrated
great power.

She has cured the blight

our banelings
have been spreading.

KEEPER:
Open a rift, bring her to me.

I will do as you command,
Keeper,

but my baneling has told me
the Seeker is with her.

If I open a rift
then he will die too,

and we cannot let that happen,
not yet.

He is too valuable.

The Creator herself
has prophesied

that he will deliver us
the Stone of Tears.

KEEPER:
Open a rift, Darken Rahl.

I've been separated
from the Creator

since the world began.

I must know that this woman
is truly my beloved.

Use all the power
I've bestowed upon you

and bring her to me now.

The Sisters of the Light

have been working against
Richard from the beginning.

First, they trapped him
in their palace.

Then they left him to die
in the Valley of Perdition.

When they failed, they sent
a false Creator to execute him.

This hearing is over.
My judgment is final.

Richard Rahl is an agent
of the Keeper

and will be destroyed.

You're not going to lay a finger
on my grandson.

Stand aside.

All of you.

(epic theme playing)

Cara, no!

Ah!

( rumbling)

What's happening? Maia?

MAN:
Run!

It's the Keeper.

He's opening a rift
directly under us!

Let's get these people
outta here!

ZEDD:
Run back!

Get down.

Come on, come on, get up.

We gotta get outta here,
come on.

No. I can close the rift.

(dramatic theme playing)

( panting)

KEEPER:
You have failed me,
Darken Rahl!

Forgive me, Master.

Why did you push me
out of the way?

I don't know
if you're the Creator or not,

but either way
you're flesh and blood.

That stone
would have killed you.

The Seeker risked his life
to save yours,

even after you condemned
him to death.

The truth couldn't be clearer.

Richard is good.

You have to see that.

You can't destroy him.

I used all my han
to seal the rift.

I couldn't destroy
the Seeker now,

even if I wanted to.

( sighs)

But the Mother Confessor
is right.

I can see now by his actions

that the Seeker
is clearly on the side

of good and Light.

RICHARD:
It's working again.

Without her powers,
Maia can't quell its magic.

Which way is it telling us
to go?

Maybe we don't need to know.

Maia, can you tell us
where to find the Stone?

( crowd gasping)

KAHLAN:
She's gone.

The Creator?
She was just a deluded girl

who was manipulated
by the Sisters of the Light.

I can't explain
some of the things she knew

about Richard and me.

You were raised
by the Sisters of the Light,

and Richard was a prisoner
in their Palace.

They obviously told Maia
what they knew.

Some of the things Maia knew
I never told anyone.

With that much power, maybe
she could read our thoughts.

There is another possibility.

Maybe she was exactly
who she claimed to be.
