1
00:00:14,201 --> 00:00:15,731
Did we lose them?
2
00:00:15,799 --> 00:00:17,663
I think so.
3
00:00:20,660 --> 00:00:24,057
Those bees were more relentless
than the Dragon Corps.
4
00:00:24,125 --> 00:00:25,621
A lot of work
for so little reward.
5
00:00:29,820 --> 00:00:32,253
Oh, that's not enough for two.
You take it.
6
00:00:32,319 --> 00:00:34,850
No. You.
7
00:00:34,918 --> 00:00:36,183
I insist.
8
00:00:36,249 --> 00:00:38,381
But you did all the work.
9
00:00:38,449 --> 00:00:39,914
I'll eat at the next
tavern we pass.
10
00:00:39,982 --> 00:00:42,878
It can't be far.
Come on.
11
00:00:42,946 --> 00:00:44,711
Which direction
are we headed, anyway?
12
00:00:44,779 --> 00:00:46,044
East.
13
00:00:46,112 --> 00:00:47,942
East?
Towards the D'Haran border?
14
00:00:48,010 --> 00:00:50,340
To Caddock, to be precise.
15
00:00:50,408 --> 00:00:52,007
Ah, breakfast. I'm starving.
16
00:00:55,339 --> 00:00:56,972
I spoke with a friend
in the resistance
17
00:00:57,040 --> 00:00:59,070
while I was getting supplies.
18
00:00:59,138 --> 00:01:01,567
It seems King Gregor
is facing a new enemy
19
00:01:01,635 --> 00:01:03,601
and has requested
the Seeker's help.
20
00:01:03,669 --> 00:01:05,201
King Gregor?
21
00:01:05,268 --> 00:01:06,966
His kingdom borders D'Hara.
22
00:01:07,034 --> 00:01:09,031
He's a strong ally
of the resistance.
23
00:01:09,099 --> 00:01:10,398
One of the few leaders
brave enough
24
00:01:10,466 --> 00:01:11,964
to stand against
Darken Rahl.
25
00:01:12,031 --> 00:01:13,896
Apparently, he's done
better than that.
26
00:01:13,964 --> 00:01:17,095
Our friend says the king
has driven back the D'Harans.
27
00:01:17,163 --> 00:01:19,161
They've pulled their troops
away from the border.
28
00:01:19,228 --> 00:01:20,795
Well, why does he need our help?
29
00:01:20,863 --> 00:01:23,994
What could be a bigger threat
than the D'Harans?
30
00:02:20,774 --> 00:02:22,773
The Caddock border
shouldn't be much further.
31
00:02:39,740 --> 00:02:41,072
Stop where you are!
32
00:02:48,573 --> 00:02:50,039
Guards, lower your weapons.
33
00:02:50,107 --> 00:02:53,306
Unless I'm mistaken,
this is Richard Cypher.
34
00:02:53,374 --> 00:02:55,040
The Seeker.
35
00:02:55,108 --> 00:02:57,041
I'm Marius,
brother of King Gregor.
36
00:02:57,108 --> 00:02:58,774
Thank the Spirits
you received my message.
37
00:03:01,909 --> 00:03:03,876
We came as quickly as we could.
38
00:03:03,944 --> 00:03:05,775
Wizard Zorander.
Confessor.
39
00:03:05,843 --> 00:03:07,943
It's an honor.
40
00:03:08,011 --> 00:03:10,745
This is Flynne,
Captain of the Guard.
41
00:03:10,813 --> 00:03:12,213
Forgive the rude welcome.
42
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:15,248
All our nerves
are a little frayed lately.
43
00:03:15,315 --> 00:03:18,018
Would that have anything to do
with why you asked us to come?
44
00:03:18,085 --> 00:03:21,685
It's best if you hear that
from the king himself.
45
00:03:21,753 --> 00:03:24,153
Thank you
for coming so quickly.
46
00:03:24,221 --> 00:03:27,822
It pains me to delay you on your
mission to defeat Darken Rahl.
47
00:03:27,889 --> 00:03:32,424
Helping those who stand against
Rahl is part of that mission.
48
00:03:32,492 --> 00:03:37,027
My kingdom is being terrorized
by a vicious beast
49
00:03:37,095 --> 00:03:39,294
that's ravaging
our countryside
50
00:03:39,362 --> 00:03:43,427
and I need your help
to destroy this monster.
51
00:03:43,495 --> 00:03:45,930
Tell me where
to find this beast.
52
00:03:48,630 --> 00:03:50,131
You already have.
53
00:03:51,532 --> 00:03:53,764
It's me.
54
00:03:56,934 --> 00:03:59,699
Five months ago the D'Harans
began amassing troops
55
00:03:59,766 --> 00:04:02,366
along this border. From there,
Rahl's soldiers launched
56
00:04:02,433 --> 00:04:04,134
raids on our farmland,
burnt our crops.
57
00:04:04,202 --> 00:04:06,401
With our food stocks dwindling,
58
00:04:06,469 --> 00:04:08,034
Rahl knew we couldn't
repel a siege.
59
00:04:08,101 --> 00:04:09,535
An invasion was imminent.
60
00:04:09,602 --> 00:04:13,967
I had no choice but to seek
an alliance with our neighbor.
61
00:04:14,035 --> 00:04:17,301
Here, in Agaden Reach.
62
00:04:17,369 --> 00:04:20,667
The domain of that
she-devil Shota.
63
00:04:20,735 --> 00:04:22,235
Forgive me, Your Majesty,
64
00:04:22,303 --> 00:04:23,935
but why would you
seek an alliance
65
00:04:24,002 --> 00:04:25,569
with someone
as dangerous as Shota?
66
00:04:25,636 --> 00:04:28,200
The witch-woman has the ability
to see the future.
67
00:04:30,134 --> 00:04:32,902
I was hoping she would
help us change it.
68
00:04:32,969 --> 00:04:37,465
I reminded Shota that our
kingdom was all that separated
69
00:04:37,533 --> 00:04:40,765
her from Rahl's tightening grip.
70
00:04:40,833 --> 00:04:42,730
That if Caddock were overrun,
71
00:04:42,798 --> 00:04:45,064
Agaden Reach would soon follow.
72
00:04:45,130 --> 00:04:48,032
So I struck a bargain with her.
73
00:04:48,100 --> 00:04:51,195
In exchange for my pledge
to defend her,
74
00:04:51,263 --> 00:04:52,728
she promised
to give me the power
75
00:04:52,796 --> 00:04:54,426
to protect my kingdom forever.
76
00:04:54,494 --> 00:04:58,326
And how exactly did she do that?
77
00:05:00,193 --> 00:05:02,859
She cursed me.
78
00:05:02,927 --> 00:05:08,157
Each night, I would
be transformed into a Calthrop.
79
00:05:14,792 --> 00:05:18,123
An awful beast that haunts
the nightmares of all D'Harans.
80
00:05:19,356 --> 00:05:22,256
The Calthrop is one
of the few things
81
00:05:22,324 --> 00:05:23,889
D'Haran children
are taught to fear.
82
00:05:23,956 --> 00:05:26,488
For centuries,
they've frightened each other
83
00:05:26,556 --> 00:05:30,155
around campfires with tales
of the creature's bloodlust.
84
00:05:30,223 --> 00:05:31,889
For weeks I ventured close
85
00:05:31,957 --> 00:05:33,555
to the D'Haran camps.
86
00:05:33,623 --> 00:05:36,555
At nightfall,
I would become the creature.
87
00:05:36,623 --> 00:05:39,288
The few who survived
the slaughter
88
00:05:39,356 --> 00:05:41,787
fled back to D'Hara,
89
00:05:41,855 --> 00:05:43,688
spreading stories
of the brutal Calthrop
90
00:05:43,755 --> 00:05:45,821
that stalked the forest
around Caddock.
91
00:05:45,889 --> 00:05:47,786
Soon Rahl's forces were
92
00:05:47,853 --> 00:05:50,085
too terrified to cross
into our kingdom.
93
00:05:50,153 --> 00:05:52,885
With morale suffering
and his troops stretched thin,
94
00:05:52,952 --> 00:05:55,649
Rahl abandoned his attempt
to conquer us.
95
00:05:55,716 --> 00:05:56,982
Once the D'Haran troops
96
00:05:57,049 --> 00:05:59,247
pulled away from our border,
97
00:05:59,314 --> 00:06:03,014
her to remove the curse.
98
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:05,177
I couldn't risk
butchering my own people.
99
00:06:05,244 --> 00:06:07,776
But she refused.
100
00:06:07,843 --> 00:06:11,276
And once the Calthrop's hunger
couldn't be quenched,
101
00:06:11,343 --> 00:06:13,408
I had my most loyal men,
102
00:06:13,476 --> 00:06:15,607
all sworn to secrecy,
103
00:06:15,675 --> 00:06:18,272
chain me in the woods,
104
00:06:18,340 --> 00:06:21,403
but the beast broke through
the chains and killed them all.
105
00:06:24,037 --> 00:06:29,862
I then spent half my treasury
on purchasing this:
106
00:06:29,929 --> 00:06:31,660
A rada'han.
107
00:06:31,728 --> 00:06:34,257
I'd hoped its ability
to suppress magic
108
00:06:34,324 --> 00:06:36,823
would be enough
to overcome Shota's curse.
109
00:06:38,421 --> 00:06:40,685
I locked the rada'han
around my brother's neck.
110
00:06:40,753 --> 00:06:42,982
Yet he still transformed
and somehow managed to escape.
111
00:06:43,048 --> 00:06:45,880
I was too ashamed
112
00:06:45,947 --> 00:06:51,272
to have my people know that
their king was the Calthrop.
113
00:06:51,340 --> 00:06:53,070
So now each night
114
00:06:53,137 --> 00:06:55,801
I head to the most remote part
of the forest,
115
00:06:55,869 --> 00:06:58,162
a place called Knollwood Grove.
116
00:06:58,230 --> 00:07:00,195
Anyone venturing into the woods
117
00:07:00,263 --> 00:07:03,525
after dark rarely
makes it out alive.
118
00:07:03,593 --> 00:07:08,053
I have no memory
of these attacks,
119
00:07:08,121 --> 00:07:13,047
but each morning I awake with
the taste of blood on my tongue.
120
00:07:15,311 --> 00:07:16,709
Three days ago,
121
00:07:16,777 --> 00:07:20,736
I awoke to find the savaged
remains of my latest victim.
122
00:07:20,804 --> 00:07:22,867
The face staring
back at me was...
123
00:07:25,663 --> 00:07:27,027
...that of my own wife.
124
00:07:28,990 --> 00:07:34,016
I had murdered
my beloved queen.
125
00:07:39,176 --> 00:07:41,073
It's not your fault, brother.
126
00:07:41,141 --> 00:07:43,236
You were only trying
to protect your kingdom.
127
00:07:43,304 --> 00:07:47,533
And now the kingdom
must be protected from me.
128
00:07:47,601 --> 00:07:49,895
I've tried to end my life.
129
00:07:49,963 --> 00:07:54,125
Poison, hanging,
a dagger to my heart.
130
00:07:54,193 --> 00:07:56,222
But you can't be killed,
131
00:07:56,289 --> 00:07:59,653
because Shota gave you exactly
what you asked for:
132
00:07:59,721 --> 00:08:04,045
the power to protect
your kingdom forever.
133
00:08:04,112 --> 00:08:05,745
Your Majesty,
134
00:08:05,813 --> 00:08:08,106
what makes you think
I can help you?
135
00:08:08,174 --> 00:08:10,338
According to legend,
136
00:08:10,406 --> 00:08:12,336
the only thing that
can kill a Calthrop
137
00:08:12,403 --> 00:08:13,898
is the Sword of Truth.
138
00:08:19,592 --> 00:08:21,420
Can't you lift the curse?
139
00:08:21,488 --> 00:08:23,017
Only the one who
made it can break it.
140
00:08:23,085 --> 00:08:28,312
I'll go to Agaden Reach
and try to reason with Shota.
141
00:08:28,380 --> 00:08:29,778
Are you sure?
142
00:08:29,844 --> 00:08:31,973
Few who have gone there
have ever returned.
143
00:08:32,041 --> 00:08:34,470
I know.
144
00:08:34,538 --> 00:08:36,436
I'm one of those few.
145
00:08:36,503 --> 00:08:38,266
And if you fail?
146
00:08:38,333 --> 00:08:41,364
What then?
147
00:08:41,431 --> 00:08:42,696
I can't bear the thought
148
00:08:42,764 --> 00:08:44,923
of killing another
innocent person.
149
00:08:44,991 --> 00:08:46,589
While Zedd is gone,
I'll watch over you
150
00:08:46,657 --> 00:08:48,187
and keep you from
harming anyone.
151
00:08:48,255 --> 00:08:50,320
How? The monster can
152
00:08:50,387 --> 00:08:51,917
break through
our strongest chains.
153
00:08:51,985 --> 00:08:58,411
I may have a few tricks
that your blacksmith doesn't.
154
00:09:01,441 --> 00:09:04,272
When the evening bell chimes,
I will come find you, Seeker.
155
00:09:04,339 --> 00:09:05,834
Your Highness,
I'm coming with you.
156
00:09:05,902 --> 00:09:09,930
Forgive me, but I've already
harmed too many people.
157
00:09:09,998 --> 00:09:12,061
I couldn't bear to add
158
00:09:12,128 --> 00:09:14,125
the Mother Confessor
to that toll.
159
00:09:14,193 --> 00:09:15,324
Father?
160
00:09:16,855 --> 00:09:19,917
This is Princess Corah,
my daughter.
161
00:09:19,985 --> 00:09:21,780
We're honored to have
the Seeker here in Caddock.
162
00:09:23,482 --> 00:09:26,408
Our people have lived
in fear for so long.
163
00:09:26,476 --> 00:09:29,269
We were very sorry to hear
about your mother, princess.
164
00:09:30,933 --> 00:09:33,628
Just promise me
165
00:09:33,695 --> 00:09:36,753
you'll find the horrible beast
that murdered my mother
166
00:09:36,821 --> 00:09:39,748
and you'll kill it.
167
00:09:48,573 --> 00:09:51,502
You're sure these
chains will hold?
168
00:09:51,570 --> 00:09:54,164
Zedd's magic has made
them unbreakable.
169
00:09:54,231 --> 00:09:56,260
I hope you're right, Seeker.
170
00:09:56,328 --> 00:09:57,991
But swear to me.
171
00:09:58,058 --> 00:10:02,586
If it's a question of my life
or yours, you'll kill me.
172
00:10:04,019 --> 00:10:06,381
I swear.
173
00:10:06,449 --> 00:10:08,111
But we'll make sure
it doesn't come to that.
174
00:10:10,243 --> 00:10:12,638
As much as I enjoy
your company, Seeker,
175
00:10:12,706 --> 00:10:15,302
you can't watch over me
every night.
176
00:10:15,370 --> 00:10:17,134
I just have to do it until Zedd
177
00:10:17,202 --> 00:10:19,129
can convince Shota
to lift the curse.
178
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:35,152
I've been expecting you,
Zeddicus.
179
00:10:35,220 --> 00:10:37,683
Then you know why I've come.
180
00:10:39,351 --> 00:10:41,614
I can't imagine it's to
apologize for scorning me.
181
00:10:43,747 --> 00:10:46,877
I was once a foolish,
young Wizard, I--
182
00:10:46,945 --> 00:10:48,176
I never meant to hurt you.
183
00:10:48,243 --> 00:10:50,409
And yet you left,
184
00:10:50,477 --> 00:10:54,105
without a word
of explanation.
185
00:10:54,173 --> 00:10:56,903
Those words may
have been my last.
186
00:10:59,338 --> 00:11:01,868
I showed you our
future together.
187
00:11:01,936 --> 00:11:04,697
With our combined powers,
we could have moved mountains.
188
00:11:04,765 --> 00:11:08,863
Our children would have ruled
for a thousand generations.
189
00:11:12,361 --> 00:11:14,394
And now look at you, Zeddicus,
190
00:11:14,462 --> 00:11:18,393
reduced to crawling back,
begging me for a favor.
191
00:11:21,557 --> 00:11:23,991
Why should I do
anything for you?
192
00:11:24,059 --> 00:11:25,589
Not for me.
193
00:11:25,657 --> 00:11:29,221
For King Gregor, with whom
you share a common enemy.
194
00:11:29,289 --> 00:11:31,720
He's beaten back
the D'Harans
195
00:11:31,788 --> 00:11:34,053
and insured the safety
of his lands and yours.
196
00:11:34,121 --> 00:11:37,919
The king killing his own people
doesn't benefit you at all.
197
00:11:37,986 --> 00:11:40,616
Release him from the curse.
198
00:11:40,684 --> 00:11:43,882
Put an end to this
pointless bloodshed.
199
00:11:56,413 --> 00:11:59,773
Without the Calthrop,
this is what will come to pass.
200
00:12:18,436 --> 00:12:20,068
What I bestowed
on King Gregor,
201
00:12:20,136 --> 00:12:22,201
it's not a curse, Zeddicus.
202
00:12:24,068 --> 00:12:25,765
It's a blessing.
203
00:12:31,294 --> 00:12:32,460
I met your mother once.
204
00:12:32,528 --> 00:12:33,727
You did?
205
00:12:33,795 --> 00:12:35,393
She visited Aydindril
206
00:12:35,461 --> 00:12:38,459
when I was a young Confessor.
207
00:12:38,527 --> 00:12:39,859
She was very kind to me.
208
00:12:42,158 --> 00:12:44,090
I can see the resemblance.
209
00:12:45,957 --> 00:12:47,724
I still can't
believe she's gone.
210
00:12:50,022 --> 00:12:52,621
I lost my mother
when I was very young.
211
00:12:52,689 --> 00:12:56,421
I know how painful it can be.
212
00:12:56,488 --> 00:12:59,718
It would be easier if I knew
why she left the castle.
213
00:12:59,786 --> 00:13:02,316
What she was doing out there
the night she died.
214
00:13:02,383 --> 00:13:03,883
Princess Corah.
215
00:13:03,950 --> 00:13:05,581
What is it, Duncan?
216
00:13:05,648 --> 00:13:06,913
Where's Helena?
217
00:13:06,981 --> 00:13:10,512
We took a wagon to fetch
her family, as you asked,
218
00:13:10,580 --> 00:13:12,480
when we were passing
through Knollwood Grove
219
00:13:12,547 --> 00:13:14,444
our horse was bit
by a snake vine.
220
00:13:14,512 --> 00:13:17,174
I ran back here as fast
as I could to get another horse.
221
00:13:17,241 --> 00:13:18,741
They're still
at Knollwood Grove?
222
00:13:18,809 --> 00:13:21,872
That's one of the beast's
hunting grounds.
223
00:13:21,938 --> 00:13:23,604
It's almost sundown.
No one's allowed
224
00:13:23,671 --> 00:13:26,065
to leave the castle.
- But there are children out there.
225
00:13:26,133 --> 00:13:28,364
Just tell me where to find them,
and I'll bring them back.
226
00:13:28,432 --> 00:13:29,430
I'm going with you.
227
00:13:29,497 --> 00:13:31,459
No, it's too dangerous.
228
00:13:31,527 --> 00:13:32,826
I'm the one who
put them in danger.
229
00:13:32,891 --> 00:13:34,255
With the Calthrop loose,
230
00:13:34,322 --> 00:13:36,153
my lady-in-waiting
worried about her family.
231
00:13:36,221 --> 00:13:37,784
I sent her to go get them.
232
00:13:37,852 --> 00:13:39,781
Putting yourself in danger
won't help them.
233
00:13:39,849 --> 00:13:41,111
No, it'll help you.
234
00:13:41,179 --> 00:13:42,975
We can move faster
if I show you the way.
235
00:14:02,683 --> 00:14:03,648
It's started.
236
00:14:07,973 --> 00:14:10,170
Please, Seeker,
237
00:14:10,237 --> 00:14:12,301
don't let me hurt anyone else.
238
00:14:46,557 --> 00:14:48,751
Stay back!
I don't want to hurt you.
239
00:15:08,230 --> 00:15:09,928
It's all right, little ones.
240
00:15:09,996 --> 00:15:11,359
We'll be on our way soon.
241
00:16:32,108 --> 00:16:33,538
Hey!
242
00:16:34,938 --> 00:16:36,632
Corah, no.
243
00:16:42,025 --> 00:16:44,020
Run!
244
00:16:50,943 --> 00:16:52,806
Take the children. Run!
245
00:16:58,662 --> 00:16:59,792
Kill it!
246
00:17:04,251 --> 00:17:05,813
Richard!
247
00:17:43,050 --> 00:17:44,445
Kahlan.
248
00:17:44,513 --> 00:17:46,541
Kahlan, are you all right?
249
00:17:50,736 --> 00:17:52,799
Kahlan, stop. Kahlan, stop!
250
00:17:52,866 --> 00:17:56,459
Kahlan, it's me, Richard.
251
00:17:56,527 --> 00:18:00,888
Kahlan, it's me.
It's me, Richard.
252
00:18:00,956 --> 00:18:02,484
Stop.
253
00:18:09,042 --> 00:18:10,737
It's okay.
254
00:18:18,692 --> 00:18:21,187
Are you all right?
255
00:18:21,255 --> 00:18:23,218
I think so.
256
00:18:23,286 --> 00:18:25,047
Now that that beast is dead.
257
00:18:37,427 --> 00:18:39,457
Father?
258
00:18:49,154 --> 00:18:52,512
The Calthrop wasn't the only
monster out there last night.
259
00:18:54,511 --> 00:18:57,675
That's the second time
I've gone into the Con Dar
260
00:18:57,743 --> 00:19:00,007
and I still don't
have control over it.
261
00:19:00,074 --> 00:19:03,300
The first time
I almost destroyed you,
262
00:19:03,368 --> 00:19:06,066
and last night
I almost destroyed Corah.
263
00:19:06,133 --> 00:19:07,361
But you didn't.
264
00:19:07,429 --> 00:19:11,291
Only because you stopped me.
265
00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:15,589
Once it gets a hold of me,
it's like I'm some wild animal.
266
00:19:15,657 --> 00:19:16,989
I don't know what I'm doing.
267
00:19:17,057 --> 00:19:20,586
You were trying to protect
me from the Calthrop.
268
00:19:20,653 --> 00:19:22,785
If my mother were alive,
269
00:19:22,852 --> 00:19:24,118
she could teach me
to control it.
270
00:19:26,416 --> 00:19:29,115
But on my own,
271
00:19:29,183 --> 00:19:32,411
it's only a matter of time
before I hurt someone.
272
00:19:32,479 --> 00:19:33,744
Someone I care about.
273
00:19:33,812 --> 00:19:35,109
Richard.
274
00:19:35,177 --> 00:19:36,210
Kahlan.
275
00:19:38,175 --> 00:19:40,237
We killed the Calthrop.
276
00:19:40,304 --> 00:19:41,903
Yes, I heard.
277
00:19:41,971 --> 00:19:43,302
And that's the problem.
278
00:19:43,369 --> 00:19:45,102
Shota showed me a vision
279
00:19:45,169 --> 00:19:48,298
of what would happen to this
kingdom without the Calthrop.
280
00:19:48,366 --> 00:19:50,165
I saw a D'Haran invasion,
281
00:19:50,231 --> 00:19:53,496
soldiers storming the castle,
282
00:19:53,564 --> 00:19:55,895
and one of their commanders
taking the king's throne.
283
00:19:55,963 --> 00:19:58,193
Well, we know Shota's
visions can be averted.
284
00:19:58,259 --> 00:20:01,691
Yes, but I'm afraid
in order to do that,
285
00:20:01,759 --> 00:20:04,222
we may need Shota
to curse someone else.
286
00:20:04,290 --> 00:20:06,288
The D'Harans will
prepare their invasion
287
00:20:06,355 --> 00:20:09,088
once they learn the Calthrop
has been slain.
288
00:20:09,155 --> 00:20:11,917
As much as the people feared
and hated the beast,
289
00:20:11,985 --> 00:20:14,416
it kept them safe from Rahl.
290
00:20:14,484 --> 00:20:17,548
Then we have to make sure
the D'Harans don't find out.
291
00:20:19,615 --> 00:20:21,645
If we can keep the legend
of the Calthrop alive,
292
00:20:21,713 --> 00:20:24,111
we can keep the D'Harans
from invading.
293
00:20:24,179 --> 00:20:26,709
And spare anyone else the burden
of carrying Shota's curse.
294
00:20:26,776 --> 00:20:28,010
Maybe.
295
00:20:28,078 --> 00:20:30,774
But how long could
we keep up such a ruse?
296
00:20:30,842 --> 00:20:32,742
Long enough for me
to defeat Rahl.
297
00:20:45,303 --> 00:20:49,201
Why didn't my father tell me?
298
00:20:49,269 --> 00:20:51,567
He was trying to protect you.
299
00:20:51,634 --> 00:20:55,297
If my father didn't think I was
strong enough to hear the truth,
300
00:20:55,365 --> 00:20:57,230
how can I lead this kingdom?
301
00:20:59,066 --> 00:21:00,229
I know you can.
302
00:21:00,296 --> 00:21:02,762
But maybe I shouldn't.
303
00:21:02,830 --> 00:21:05,729
Maybe I should ask Marius to
assume the throne in my place.
304
00:21:07,263 --> 00:21:11,693
If you decide it's too much,
no one would fault you.
305
00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:14,158
But if I'm not mistaken,
your mother wasn't much older
306
00:21:14,226 --> 00:21:15,958
than you when she took
the throne.
307
00:21:16,026 --> 00:21:17,757
But she had my father.
308
00:21:17,825 --> 00:21:20,023
And you have both
of them inside you.
309
00:21:21,724 --> 00:21:24,021
I've seen your strength.
310
00:21:24,089 --> 00:21:25,521
You made the decision
to ride out
311
00:21:25,589 --> 00:21:27,152
to save Helena
and her children,
312
00:21:27,219 --> 00:21:30,284
even though you knew
the dangers.
313
00:21:30,352 --> 00:21:31,884
I don't think
your people could ask
314
00:21:31,952 --> 00:21:34,384
for a more courageous leader.
315
00:21:39,817 --> 00:21:41,050
As Queen,
316
00:21:41,117 --> 00:21:43,615
I pledge my fealty
to this great kingdom,
317
00:21:43,683 --> 00:21:45,913
to defend its people
from all enemies,
318
00:21:45,981 --> 00:21:49,177
and lead it into peace
and prosperity.
319
00:21:49,245 --> 00:21:51,110
Spirits, bless our kingdom.
320
00:22:07,011 --> 00:22:10,010
Spirits, bless our Queen.
321
00:22:10,077 --> 00:22:13,209
Spirits, bless our Queen.
322
00:22:19,410 --> 00:22:20,975
The only way
the D'Harans will believe
323
00:22:21,043 --> 00:22:22,276
the Calthrop is still alive
324
00:22:22,344 --> 00:22:23,842
is if there's been
another attack.
325
00:22:23,910 --> 00:22:25,476
My Queen,
326
00:22:25,544 --> 00:22:27,276
Captain Flynne
and I will slaughter sheep
327
00:22:27,344 --> 00:22:29,042
and leave the carcasses
at the border.
328
00:22:29,109 --> 00:22:30,709
We'll spread word
along trade routes.
329
00:22:30,777 --> 00:22:33,210
The D'Harans will believe
it's the work of the Calthrop.
330
00:22:33,278 --> 00:22:36,344
I may have something
that will help those efforts.
331
00:22:40,446 --> 00:22:44,311
that borders D'Hara
and cast a spell on them.
332
00:22:44,379 --> 00:22:46,110
The slightest disturbance
in the air--
333
00:22:46,178 --> 00:22:47,911
Say, from an approaching
D'Haran.
334
00:22:47,978 --> 00:22:50,208
--and the chimes will ring out.
335
00:22:50,276 --> 00:22:52,742
Only it won't be just
any chime they'll hear,
336
00:22:52,810 --> 00:22:55,676
it will be the awful howls
of the Calthrop.
337
00:22:55,744 --> 00:22:59,176
The ear is more easily
frightened than the eye.
338
00:23:01,743 --> 00:23:04,076
We'll make preparations
at once, Your Majesty.
339
00:23:09,477 --> 00:23:10,778
I want to thank you.
I don't know
340
00:23:10,846 --> 00:23:13,277
what I would've done
if you hadn't been here.
341
00:23:13,345 --> 00:23:15,344
If there's anything
I can do for you...
342
00:23:17,913 --> 00:23:20,980
There is one favor you could
grant me, Your Majesty.
343
00:23:43,217 --> 00:23:45,515
Why are you bringing that?
344
00:23:45,583 --> 00:23:47,782
Because I can't trust myself.
345
00:23:50,249 --> 00:23:53,348
I'm used to having control.
346
00:23:53,416 --> 00:23:56,182
Being a Confessor
is about certainty,
347
00:23:56,250 --> 00:23:58,748
about knowing the truth.
348
00:23:58,816 --> 00:24:01,715
When I'm in the Con Dar
I don't have any of that.
349
00:24:01,783 --> 00:24:04,915
The rada'han gives
a little of it back to me.
350
00:24:04,983 --> 00:24:08,181
But we don't even know
if it works.
351
00:24:08,249 --> 00:24:10,514
It didn't stop King Gregor.
352
00:24:12,382 --> 00:24:15,581
It works.
353
00:24:15,648 --> 00:24:18,077
I can feel it suppressing
my power already.
354
00:24:21,711 --> 00:24:25,673
Maybe it's something
that shouldn't surprised.
355
00:24:25,741 --> 00:24:28,436
You said only the most powerful
Confessors have it, right?
356
00:24:30,336 --> 00:24:32,631
Yes.
357
00:24:32,699 --> 00:24:35,528
Then maybe this is a gift.
358
00:24:35,596 --> 00:24:38,356
One you shouldn't deny.
359
00:24:38,423 --> 00:24:40,788
It's a part
of who you are.
360
00:24:46,779 --> 00:24:49,706
When I'm in the Con Dar,
I don't know who that is.
361
00:24:52,300 --> 00:24:55,628
More news from our spy in the castle.
362
00:24:55,695 --> 00:24:58,123
Not only is King Gregor dead,
but so is the Calthrop.
363
00:25:00,453 --> 00:25:03,046
Then the kingdom of Caddock
is ripe for the taking.
364
00:25:03,114 --> 00:25:05,475
But we must act quickly
if we want the Seeker as well.
365
00:25:05,542 --> 00:25:07,004
According to our spy,
366
00:25:07,072 --> 00:25:08,968
he will not remain
at Caddock much longer.
367
00:25:09,036 --> 00:25:10,866
He would leave
the kingdom defenseless?
368
00:25:10,934 --> 00:25:13,259
No.
The child-queen wants us
369
00:25:13,327 --> 00:25:15,389
to believe that
the Calthrop still lives.
370
00:25:15,457 --> 00:25:17,353
They plan to deceive us.
371
00:25:17,421 --> 00:25:19,715
To deceives us?
372
00:25:19,783 --> 00:25:22,744
And how do they
intend to do that?
373
00:25:22,811 --> 00:25:24,806
If Kahlan could learn
to use the Con Dar,
374
00:25:24,874 --> 00:25:27,929
just think of how
powerful we could be.
375
00:25:27,997 --> 00:25:29,762
There are some things
that even a Wizard
376
00:25:29,830 --> 00:25:32,953
of the First Order
doesn't fully understand.
377
00:25:33,021 --> 00:25:34,948
This is one thing I--
378
00:25:35,016 --> 00:25:37,610
I can't teach Kahlan.
379
00:25:37,678 --> 00:25:39,704
But Zedd--
Maybe we should
380
00:25:39,771 --> 00:25:42,562
respect her decision
to wear the rada'han.
381
00:25:42,630 --> 00:25:45,556
A power is only valuable
if it can be harnessed.
382
00:25:45,624 --> 00:25:48,282
If not,
then it's no power at all.
383
00:25:51,872 --> 00:25:55,064
That sounded just like
a Calthrop.
384
00:25:55,132 --> 00:25:57,727
I haven't cast
the spell yet.
385
00:26:03,303 --> 00:26:05,234
Another monster?
- Zedd's on his way
386
00:26:05,301 --> 00:26:06,868
to find out
who Shota cursed.
387
00:26:06,936 --> 00:26:08,467
What do we do when we find
this person?
388
00:26:08,534 --> 00:26:10,631
We prevent them from hurting
innocent people.
389
00:26:10,699 --> 00:26:12,197
My Queen, shall I
inform Prince Marius?
390
00:26:18,528 --> 00:26:21,926
Is there something else
bothering you, Your Majesty?
391
00:26:21,994 --> 00:26:24,024
I was going through
my mother's things
392
00:26:24,091 --> 00:26:26,422
and found her diary.
393
00:26:26,490 --> 00:26:28,922
I know why she was outside
the castle the night she died.
394
00:26:28,990 --> 00:26:31,120
She believed my father
was unfaithful,
395
00:26:31,188 --> 00:26:33,519
and that at night
he would meet a woman.
396
00:26:33,587 --> 00:26:34,751
Who?
397
00:26:34,819 --> 00:26:36,417
The diary doesn't say.
398
00:26:36,418 --> 00:26:38,816
Only that the woman lived
near Knollwood Grove.
399
00:26:38,884 --> 00:26:40,948
My mother went there
to confront them.
400
00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:44,246
But the king couldn't have
been unfaithful.
401
00:26:44,314 --> 00:26:46,544
By night, he was the Calthrop.
402
00:26:46,612 --> 00:26:48,343
But my mother didn't know that.
403
00:26:48,410 --> 00:26:51,044
My father kept it a secret,
even from her.
404
00:26:51,110 --> 00:26:52,741
Why would she think
he was unfaithful?
405
00:26:52,809 --> 00:26:55,139
Because someone told her.
406
00:26:55,207 --> 00:26:56,841
The diary doesn't say who,
407
00:26:56,908 --> 00:27:00,403
only that it was
someone she trusted.
408
00:27:00,471 --> 00:27:03,236
Whoever told her knew where
the king would be at night.
409
00:27:03,304 --> 00:27:05,169
And sent her to her death.
410
00:27:06,837 --> 00:27:09,133
There's only one person
besides your father
411
00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:11,166
who knew the truth
about the Calthrop.
412
00:27:12,666 --> 00:27:14,965
Prince Marius.
413
00:27:15,033 --> 00:27:16,697
Think about it.
414
00:27:16,765 --> 00:27:18,395
Marius stood the most to gain.
415
00:27:18,463 --> 00:27:20,495
An entire kingdom.
416
00:27:20,563 --> 00:27:22,626
Maybe he orchestrated
the queen's death
417
00:27:22,693 --> 00:27:24,558
at the hands
of the Calthrop.
418
00:27:24,626 --> 00:27:26,623
And he knew the king
would be so grief-stricken
419
00:27:26,691 --> 00:27:28,589
over killing his own wife,
he would want to die.
420
00:27:28,656 --> 00:27:32,083
So the prince summoned
the Seeker to fulfill his wish.
421
00:27:33,719 --> 00:27:35,649
And if it's the kingdom
that Marius wants...
422
00:27:35,717 --> 00:27:38,980
Then only one person
stands in his way.
423
00:27:39,046 --> 00:27:40,076
Me.
424
00:27:41,845 --> 00:27:44,375
No sign of Prince Marius.
425
00:27:44,442 --> 00:27:46,071
My men have searched.
He's not here.
426
00:27:46,139 --> 00:27:47,804
When's the last time
anyone saw him?
427
00:27:47,872 --> 00:27:49,771
When I informed him
of the second Calthrop.
428
00:27:49,838 --> 00:27:50,970
Well, he can't have gotten far.
429
00:27:51,036 --> 00:27:53,032
I'll find him.
Keep the queen safe.
430
00:27:54,398 --> 00:27:56,030
This way,
Your Majesty.
431
00:28:02,827 --> 00:28:04,757
What's the safest place
in the castle?
432
00:28:04,825 --> 00:28:06,989
I'm afraid there's
no place safe for you.
433
00:28:10,617 --> 00:28:12,314
You're part of Marius' plot.
434
00:28:12,382 --> 00:28:14,545
Take them.
435
00:28:14,612 --> 00:28:17,341
She wears a rada'han.
Her magic cannot harm you.
436
00:28:40,083 --> 00:28:41,947
Where are you off to
in such a hurry?
437
00:28:46,276 --> 00:28:48,473
Where were you last night?
438
00:28:51,439 --> 00:28:53,770
The sun's going down soon.
439
00:28:53,838 --> 00:28:56,767
Maybe you came out here
to transform into the Calthrop?
440
00:28:58,331 --> 00:28:59,530
You think I'm the monster?
441
00:28:59,597 --> 00:29:02,228
I know you're a monster.
442
00:29:02,296 --> 00:29:03,694
You arranged the death
of the queen
443
00:29:03,762 --> 00:29:05,158
and your brother.
444
00:29:05,226 --> 00:29:06,956
Why would I do such a thing?
445
00:29:07,024 --> 00:29:08,521
Maybe because you thought
446
00:29:08,589 --> 00:29:10,386
he was too weak
to protect the kingdom.
447
00:29:10,454 --> 00:29:12,619
I loved my brother.
448
00:29:12,687 --> 00:29:14,685
But you loved his power more.
449
00:29:14,753 --> 00:29:17,848
And you would do anything
to get it and hold onto it.
450
00:29:17,915 --> 00:29:19,913
Even if it meant
striking a deal
451
00:29:19,980 --> 00:29:22,747
with Shota
to make you the Calthrop.
452
00:29:24,681 --> 00:29:26,178
You've gone mad.
453
00:29:29,278 --> 00:29:30,776
We'll find out soon enough.
454
00:29:30,844 --> 00:29:32,309
Who is it, Shota?
455
00:29:32,376 --> 00:29:34,241
Who have you cursed now?
456
00:29:36,107 --> 00:29:38,473
You still don't understand,
do you, Zeddicus?
457
00:29:38,541 --> 00:29:40,138
I didn't curse anyone.
458
00:29:40,206 --> 00:29:41,805
Enough games.
459
00:29:44,235 --> 00:29:45,468
I promised King Gregor
460
00:29:45,536 --> 00:29:47,566
that his kingdom would be
protected forever.
461
00:29:49,331 --> 00:29:51,163
So I cursed the royal scepter.
462
00:29:52,663 --> 00:29:55,359
Whoever inherits the kingdom,
463
00:29:55,427 --> 00:29:57,557
inherits the curse.
464
00:30:05,050 --> 00:30:07,581
It won't take them long
to break down this door.
465
00:30:07,648 --> 00:30:10,812
I'll have to Confess one
of the guards.
466
00:30:10,879 --> 00:30:14,743
But I'll need your help
to take off the rada'han.
467
00:30:14,811 --> 00:30:18,070
Corah.
468
00:30:18,138 --> 00:30:19,069
Corah!
469
00:30:20,868 --> 00:30:22,133
Corah.
470
00:30:52,583 --> 00:30:53,879
Wait.
471
00:30:53,946 --> 00:30:56,441
We need to get everyone
out of the castle.
472
00:30:56,508 --> 00:30:58,269
Take them to the caves
until you get word
473
00:30:58,336 --> 00:31:00,299
that it's safe to return.
- Right away.
474
00:31:09,316 --> 00:31:11,911
What's happening?
475
00:31:11,976 --> 00:31:13,640
Corah is the Calthrop.
476
00:31:15,703 --> 00:31:17,466
She's loose inside the castle.
477
00:31:17,533 --> 00:31:20,492
We have to stop the beast
without hurting Corah.
478
00:31:20,559 --> 00:31:23,218
Maybe we could use the rada'han
to change the queen back.
479
00:31:23,286 --> 00:31:25,415
But it didn't work on the king.
480
00:31:25,483 --> 00:31:28,542
And why was that?
- I have no idea you're--
481
00:31:40,749 --> 00:31:43,141
You were in charge of locking
King Gregor into the rada'han.
482
00:31:43,208 --> 00:31:45,070
Yes. But each night
I laced his meal
483
00:31:45,137 --> 00:31:46,369
with a sleeping potion.
484
00:31:46,437 --> 00:31:47,767
Once he was asleep,
485
00:31:47,835 --> 00:31:50,493
I unlocked the rada'han,
unleashing the Calthrop.
486
00:31:50,561 --> 00:31:54,517
So all we have to do is get this
thing around the beast's neck.
487
00:31:54,585 --> 00:31:56,312
I think Marius
can help with that.
488
00:31:56,380 --> 00:31:58,507
How may I serve you?
489
00:31:58,575 --> 00:32:00,068
You're going to be the bait.
490
00:32:36,621 --> 00:32:37,551
Ha!
491
00:33:07,052 --> 00:33:09,114
It's all right.
492
00:33:10,677 --> 00:33:13,241
It's all right.
It's all right.
493
00:33:13,308 --> 00:33:14,306
I'm here.
494
00:33:17,467 --> 00:33:18,964
I don't understand.
495
00:33:19,031 --> 00:33:21,126
If I'm the monster,
then why did Marius sneak
496
00:33:21,193 --> 00:33:22,855
out of the castle
before sunset?
497
00:33:22,923 --> 00:33:25,420
I was on my way to warn
the D'Haran
498
00:33:25,487 --> 00:33:27,812
that the Calthrop
was still alive.
499
00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:31,372
You murdered my mother
and father,
500
00:33:31,439 --> 00:33:33,536
all so you could kneel
before Rahl.
501
00:33:33,601 --> 00:33:35,993
In exchange for swearing
my allegiance to Darken Rahl,
502
00:33:36,061 --> 00:33:39,155
the D'Harans agreed
to leave me on the throne.
503
00:33:39,223 --> 00:33:42,646
But you weren't able to deliver
your message to the D'Harans.
504
00:33:42,714 --> 00:33:44,743
So they think
the Calthrop is dead?
505
00:33:44,811 --> 00:33:47,969
Yes. They're planning
to invade Caddock.
506
00:33:48,037 --> 00:33:49,269
They'll be here soon.
507
00:33:52,161 --> 00:33:53,923
Let them come.
508
00:33:53,991 --> 00:33:55,353
I'll remove the rada'han
509
00:33:55,421 --> 00:33:58,079
and the Calthrop will slaughter
every last one.
510
00:33:58,146 --> 00:33:59,575
It's too late.
511
00:35:36,030 --> 00:35:38,424
There's no escape.
512
00:35:56,248 --> 00:35:57,975
Bring the Seeker to me.
513
00:36:04,395 --> 00:36:05,490
You won't kill me.
514
00:36:05,558 --> 00:36:07,084
Rahl wants me alive.
515
00:36:07,152 --> 00:36:09,581
True.
516
00:36:09,645 --> 00:36:11,939
But he didn't say
in how many pieces.
517
00:36:18,393 --> 00:36:21,583
You'll find it
difficult to escape
518
00:36:21,584 --> 00:36:22,914
without your hands
519
00:36:40,671 --> 00:36:42,630
No!
520
00:36:42,698 --> 00:36:44,559
Fools. See what you've done?
521
00:36:46,621 --> 00:36:48,784
This will come to pass
within the hour.
522
00:36:48,852 --> 00:36:51,078
And we are too far away to do
anything to prevent it.
523
00:36:55,203 --> 00:36:56,531
You were right
when you said
524
00:36:56,598 --> 00:36:59,559
together we had the power
to move mountains, Shota.
525
00:37:01,921 --> 00:37:05,182
In fact, I think we could move
something far greater.
526
00:37:07,510 --> 00:37:10,239
Bring the Seeker to me.
527
00:37:14,664 --> 00:37:15,893
You won't kill me.
528
00:37:15,961 --> 00:37:18,023
Rahl wants me alive.
529
00:37:18,091 --> 00:37:20,153
True.
530
00:37:20,220 --> 00:37:22,514
But he didn't say
in how many pieces.
531
00:37:24,743 --> 00:37:27,670
You'll find it
difficult to escape
532
00:37:27,738 --> 00:37:30,135
without your hands.
533
00:38:06,670 --> 00:38:08,900
What witchery is this?
534
00:39:32,141 --> 00:39:34,436
Don't you see, Zeddicus?
535
00:39:34,504 --> 00:39:36,634
Together we can
accomplish anything.
536
00:39:36,702 --> 00:39:38,333
Nothing can stop us.
537
00:39:40,363 --> 00:39:41,762
That's precisely the reason
538
00:39:41,829 --> 00:39:44,625
why I left you
all those years ago.
539
00:39:44,692 --> 00:39:47,288
Ultimate power
must not go unchecked.
540
00:39:47,355 --> 00:39:49,686
You know this
as well as I do, Shota.
541
00:39:49,754 --> 00:39:51,318
We would become monsters.
542
00:39:53,884 --> 00:39:57,746
That's the very reason
we must defeat Darken Rahl.
543
00:40:02,541 --> 00:40:04,307
Then there is something else
I must show you.
544
00:40:15,963 --> 00:40:17,258
The D'Harans
won't stop running
545
00:40:17,326 --> 00:40:18,858
until they reach
the People's Palace.
546
00:40:18,925 --> 00:40:20,255
And once the stories spread
547
00:40:20,323 --> 00:40:22,453
of the Calthrop
terrorizing the kingdom,
548
00:40:22,521 --> 00:40:24,684
they'll think twice
about invading again.
549
00:40:24,752 --> 00:40:26,549
What happens when my people
learn the truth
550
00:40:26,617 --> 00:40:28,050
about the Calthrop?
551
00:40:28,116 --> 00:40:30,014
Maybe they don't need to know.
552
00:40:37,409 --> 00:40:40,272
You can wear the rada'han
at night to suppress the curse.
553
00:40:46,837 --> 00:40:49,233
My power is part of who I am.
554
00:40:49,301 --> 00:40:50,932
I tried to deny it,
555
00:40:51,000 --> 00:40:52,797
and it only put
people in danger.
556
00:40:54,897 --> 00:40:57,259
I need to embrace it,
557
00:40:57,326 --> 00:41:00,256
learn to control it.
558
00:41:00,324 --> 00:41:03,120
I think I have to do the same.
559
00:41:03,187 --> 00:41:05,786
My father was too ashamed
to tell his people
560
00:41:05,853 --> 00:41:08,151
the truth about himself,
561
00:41:08,218 --> 00:41:10,782
and look what it cost him.
562
00:41:10,850 --> 00:41:13,847
If he'd told my mother
he was the Calthrop,
563
00:41:13,914 --> 00:41:16,111
she never would have left
the castle that night...
564
00:41:17,877 --> 00:41:19,541
...and they'd both be alive.
565
00:41:21,540 --> 00:41:24,037
Nothing good can come
from hiding who I am.
566
00:41:38,918 --> 00:41:40,045
What's wrong?
567
00:41:41,845 --> 00:41:44,804
When the D'Harans had you,
568
00:41:44,872 --> 00:41:47,401
I tried to bring on the Con Dar,
569
00:41:47,469 --> 00:41:49,266
but I couldn't.
570
00:41:49,334 --> 00:41:51,664
Even when I needed it most.
571
00:41:51,732 --> 00:41:53,162
You told me it took
your whole life
572
00:41:53,230 --> 00:41:55,493
to learn how to use
your Confessor powers.
573
00:41:55,561 --> 00:41:56,893
Give it time.
574
00:42:01,222 --> 00:42:02,052
Zedd.
575
00:42:04,519 --> 00:42:06,449
We have to hurry.
576
00:42:06,517 --> 00:42:08,381
What is it?
577
00:42:08,449 --> 00:42:10,813
Shota showed me a vision.
578
00:42:10,881 --> 00:42:13,677
There is another
Book of Counted Shadows.
579
00:42:15,675 --> 00:42:17,936
Long ago, in secret,
580
00:42:18,004 --> 00:42:20,834
an ancient monk transcribed
a copy of the book.
581
00:42:20,901 --> 00:42:23,930
If we could get our hands on it,
we could defeat Rahl.
582
00:42:23,998 --> 00:42:25,928
Did Shota's vision show you
where it is?
583
00:42:25,996 --> 00:42:28,924
Yeah. But there was more
to her vision.
584
00:42:28,992 --> 00:42:32,019
Soon Rahl will also learn
of the Book's whereabouts.
585
00:42:32,087 --> 00:42:34,652
And when he does,
he'll send men to retrieve it.
586
00:42:34,719 --> 00:42:36,548
The only question is,
587
00:42:36,616 --> 00:42:39,141
can we get there first?
588
00:42:39,359 --> 00:42:40,521
