(Zedd) Previously...on Legend of the Seeker
(Renn) You have to take the Stone of Tears
to the Pillars of Creation on the day of the summer solstice,
and repair the tear in the veil.
What do you want? The same as you, dear brother.
To save the world.
If you help me achieve this victory for him,
I have no doubt that the Keeper will reward you
beyond imagining.
(Zedd) Whoever gains possession
of all three Boxes of Orden will be unstoppable.
She is pristinely ungifted.
Magic doesn't work on me. Not evenen the magic of Orden.
The true Lord Rahl is in danger.
I need your help to save him.
Do you think we can trust her?
(Cara) I've known her for a long time.
You once swore to kill the man you now serve.
Why did you lie to me?
I want you back on my side.
Fortunately, I knew of your special friendship with Dahlia
The Agiel's touch will be more painful to her
than all the fires of the Underworld.
( screams )
Cara, why?
(Cara) I brought what you asked for.
( dramatic theme playing )
(Zedd) Richard Cypher, you are the true Seeker.
( heroic theme playing )

Rahl is taking the Stone of Tears northeast.
The Pillars of Creation are to the south.
Rahl isn't taking the Stone to the Pillars.
He has no intention of using it to seal the veil.
Then where's he taking it?
( dramatic theme playing )
Why are we stopping?
Marianna, do you really fail to grasp the import of the moment?
We are about to deliver the Stone of Tears
to the Keeper.
And once he has it, the tear in the veil can never be sealed,
and the World of the Living
will fall forever into darkness.
But before we proceed into the rift,
let us offer a prayer of gratitude to our master
for allowing us, his humble servants,
a small part to play
in his glorious victory.
( all chanting in ancient tongue )
( Agiel whines ) ( screams )
( screaming )
( grunts )
( screaming )
( panting )
You betrayed the Keeper.
( Agiel whining ) ( screams )
( screaming )
You have all done very well.
Now, we should travel with haste.
No doubt my intrepid brother is already close behind.
I can stop him, My Lord.
Cara,
your loyalty and devotion are touching.
But I'm afraid you are no match for the Seeker.
You're forgetting Richard's weakness.
Compassion.
He still cares for me.
When the moment comes, he won't be able to finish me off.
And that's when I'll kill him.
The Wizard's power is useless against you,
but the Mother Confessor is another story.
Her touch is deadly to Mord-Sith.
We're not afraid of the Confessor, My Lord.
(Cara) The Seeker won't stop
until he recovers the Stone.
And he'll kill you to get it.
Please.
Let us do this for you.
I am so glad you have returned to our family, Cara.
( fire roaring )
( ominous theme playing )
( birds chirping )
( sword unsheathes )
Cara, don't do this.
You seem to have forgotten, Richard.
Mord-Sith only take orders
from the true Lord Rahl.
( grunting )
Zedd, no! She'll kill you! Get out of here!
( Agiel whines )
( screams )
( gasps )
Dahlia!
( grunts )
The compass is useless.
Dahlia. ( whimpering )
Dahlia, you don't have long to live.
If you're going to serve me, you have to do it now.
Tell me where Rahl is taking the Stone.
I'm sorry, mistress.
I don't know.
I beg of you,
forgive me.
Without the compass, we might not find Rahl
or the Stone before the solstice.
Maybe Cara knows where he is.
But I'd have to confess her to find out.
(Cara) You know what you need to do, Richard.
But we both know you don't have the stomach for it.
( gasps )
She is in the grip of an insidious magic,
as dark as any I've felt before.
That's how Rahl turned her against us.
Lord Rahl merely showed me the error of my ways.
I was a fool to ever follow you.
(Zedd) We may have to accept the fact
that the Cara we know is gone forever.
I don't believe that.
There has to be a way of undoing whatever it was Rahl did to her.
There is one way,
but the results are unpredictable.
It's a spell I learned years ago in the Wizard's Keep,
but I've never dared use it.
It's called the Spell of Undoing.
According to the ancient texts,
it can erase even the most pernicious forms of dark magic.
Do it.
Richard, this spell hasn't been invoked in ages,
and for very good reason.
It could undo the magic Darken Rahl inflicted on Cara,
but it could also affect her in ways
I couldn't even begin to predict.
It could even kill her.
And if it does, we may lose any hope
of finding Rahl and the Stone in time.
Cara's had everything taken away from her.
Twice.
She would've gone to the ends of the world for me.
I'm not giving up on her now.
( chanting in ancient tongue )
( tense theme playing )
( continues chanting in ancient tongue )
( thunder rumbling )
( thunder crashes )
Zedd. Is everything all right?
Richard?
Everyone's waiting.
This is the People's Palace.
What are we doing here?
I think Zedd's gotten into the ambrosia
a little early.
(Jennsen) Grandfather.
The ring.
It's in your left sleeve.
( soft theme playing )
With this ring, I bind my soul,
mind and body
with yours.
In the eyes of the Creator,
you are now joined as husband and wife.
For all eternity, you will be as one.
( all cheering and applauding )
( majestic theme playing )
( ominous theme playing )
Richard.
I need to speak with the two of you.
Alone.
Zedd, you know anything you can say to me
you can say in front of my brother.
It's quite all right, Richard.
I seem to be making Zeddicus uncomfortable.
I shall attend to your guests.
Please.
Zedd, what's wrong?
What's wrong?
Five minutes ago, we were standing in a forest
a thousand leagues from here,
and now suddenly we're in the People's Palace.
And where's Cara?
Who's Cara?
Sharp tongue, red leather,
carries two Agiels.
A Mord-Sith.
She's been traveling with us for nearly a year.
Zedd,
you and I have been at the People's Palace
for the past year,
and Kahlan's been in Aydindril, restoring the rule of law.
Maybe someone spelled your memory.
No one spelled my memory.
I cast a spell on Cara.
But the spell seems to have changed everything.
What changes?
Well, we weren't at the People's Palace,
We were on a quest to find the Stone of Tears.
Why would we be looking for the Stone of Tears?
We need it to repair the veil
between the Underworld and the Land of the Living.
It was torn when the Boxes of Orden were destroyed a year ago.
The Boxes.
They're intact.
I put them together almost a year ago,
on that cliff in West Granthia.
Then you have the Power of Orden.
That's why Rahl is no threat to you.
You bent him to your will.
Do you control everyone?
No, only those who were a threat to me.
Rahl, the Mord-Sith, the Third Battalion.
It was just as you predicted, Zedd.
Orden was tempered by my Confessor's touch.
So Richard has been able to use his power wisely and justly.
And Orden, in turn,
tempered confession.
So Kahlan and I can be together.
From my perspective, none of this happened.
Well, maybe if you tell us how you remember it,
we can figure out what's going on.
I remember West Granthia.
You put the Boxes together.
But we were attacked by the Mord-Sith.
Cara led the assault.
( Agiel whining )
No!
But at the last moment, she betrayed her sisters.
No!
Rahl grabbed the Sword of Truth...
and used it to split the Boxes apart.
( yelling )
And Rahl and the Boxes were destroyed.
(Richard) Zedd,
there was no Mord-Sith who betrayed her sisters.
And the Boxes obviously didn't explode.
Kahlan confessed me the moment I assembled them.
Rahl did try to stop us,
but he was too late.
No!
Stop.
Drop your weapons.
On your knees, all of you.
Yes, My Lord.
Richard, you've done it.
Why would the absence of one Mord-Sith
make such a difference?
Cara was Darken Rahl's most able and trusted Sister of the Agiel.
Maybe without her to lead the attack,
they couldn't find us in time.
That would have given you the extra moments you needed
to acquire the Power of Orden.
So then what happened with this Cara?
The spell I cast may have killed her
or erased her from existence itself.
If this spell was as powerful as it seems,
maybe it didn't kill her.
Maybe it just undid all the Mord-Sith magic
that was ever inflicted on her.
Then it wouldn't be just Rahl's sorcery that was undone,
but the magic used to break her as a child.
She never would have become a Mord-Sith at all.
She wouldn't have been on the cliff that night to attack.
Then if Cara's not dead and she's not Mord-Sith,
then where is she?
Sorry to bother you, Richard.
But your guests are asking for you.
We'll be right there.
I want you to do something for me.
Anything.
I need you to find a young woman.
Her name is Cara Mason.
She would have been born in the village of Stowecroft,
25, 26 summers ago.
I will send a rider to find out if she still lives there,
and if not, where she might have gone.
Richard,
I realize with the Power of Orden
you can make Rahl do whatever you want,
but are you sure it wouldn't have been more prudent
for you to kill him as the Prophecy foretold?
Zedd, you know I don't believe in Prophecy.
And as you can see, my brother is more useful to me alive.
He's a trusted advisor and a close friend.
Friend?
He's not the same man he was before I used my power on him.
It's a new day in D'Hara, Zedd.
I want people to know their ruler isn't vengeful or cruel,
that I believe everyone can do good.
I admire your generosity, Richard,
but the spell may have affected history
in ways we haven't discovered yet.
And there will be plenty of time to look into that.
But we're at a wedding.
Enjoy the party.
It's time for me to dance with my lovely wife.
( sighs )
( ominous theme playing
( wind gusts )
(Keeper) Sister Marianna. ( gasps )
Kneel before the Keeper.
The time has come for you to serve me.
I've been waiting for this moment all my life, master.
Something has happened beyond your reckoning.
The world has changed.
Victory has been stolen from my grasp.
I don't understand, master.
What victory do you speak of?
The veil was torn.
My minions were waging war on the Land of the Living.
But somehow the First Wizard
has restored harmony between death and life.
You must upset the balance once again.
Tell me what I must do.
Leave the Palace of the Prophets at once
and find the sister of the Seeker,
the pristinely ungifted one, Jennsen Rahl.
will find her, Keeper, but how will this serve you?
Her blood is the key.
It will allow you to do what must be done
in order to tear the veil again
and ensure my victory over life.
( tender theme playing )
Good morning, Your Highness.
( chuckles )
I don't think I'm ever going to get used to that.
You should try "Lord Rahl".
Mm.
I can think of something more appropriate.
How about "dad"?
What?
It's only been three days. How could you know?
A Confessor knows.
( exhales heavily )
I didn't think it was possible to be this happy.
( knocking on door )
Zedd. Zedd.
Perfect timing, as usual.
Jennsen.
I'm sorry to bother you, but I just got word.
My friend Sean.
He passed away.
Oh, I'm so sorry, Jennsen.
Sean's last wish was that I take care of his daughter.
I'd like to bring Eryn here to live with us at the Palace.
Of course. I'll go with you. We'll bring her back together.
Richard, you just got married.
And you have an empire to take care of.
I'll be fine.
I'll send Commander Trimack with you.
I've inspected the palace defenses
and found them woefully inadequate.
With your permission,
I'd like to strengthen the magical barriers
around the perimeter.
Zedd, I have the Power of Orden.
I don't think anyone's planning to attack us.
For all we know, there are people out there
who still mean you harm.
Well, if it makes you feel better,
go ahead, fortify the barriers.
I realize this may seem like a waste of time
to someone with your power,
but there's an ache in my bones, my boy.
Something is wrong here.
The world is not supposed to be like this.
Zedd, the world you told us about,
with the rifts opening everywhere
and the Keeper on the verge of winning?
Maybe that's the world that should never have been.
Life's good now.
Maybe when you cast that spell,
you put things back the way they're supposed to be.
( footsteps approaching )
Richard, our rider has returned from Stowecroft.
There is indeed a young woman named Cara Mason living there.
She's a schoolteacher
and a mother of two young children.
She's also a widow.
She lost her husband during the war.
Zedd, I'm sorry about her husband,
but from what you told us
Cara was broken not just once but twice.
It sounds like she has a better life in this world
than she did in the other one.
( laughing )
Sam.
Play nicely with your sister or you can go inside.
(Leo) Excuse me, ma'am?
Hey.
You really shouldn't sneak up on someone like that.
I didn't mean to startle you. I'm sorry.
My name is Leo Dane. I'm just passing through
on my way home to Archer's Peak.
I was wondering if you had some chores
that might need doing.
I'm a skilled blacksmith.
I can also do carpentry.
Thank you, but I can't afford to hire any help.
Sam, go inside.
Now.
On my way up the path, I noticed your horse was favoring a leg.
He sprung a heel.
If you don't re-shoe him, he'll go lame.
I'd be happy to take care of it for you.
You don't have to pay me.
Well, if you're going to shoe the horse,
I suppose the least I can do is offer you a meal.
Sounds like a fair trade.
( menacing theme playing )
( men grunting ) ( horses whinnying )
Jennsen!
(Jennsen) Help me!
( chants in ancient tongue )
( screaming )
Jennsen!
( all chant in ancient tongue )
Where have they taken Jennsen?
I'll tell you nothing.
You will tell Lord Rahl.
Tell me where they've taken Jennsen.
To the Caves of Andros, My Lord.
Why?
What do they want with her?
Forgive me, My Lord, I don't know.
(Zedd) This is exactly the sort of thing
I was afraid would happen.
The Keeper exists outside time and place.
He must be aware that the world has changed.
The Sisters of the Dark could be using Jennsen somehow
to re-establish his dominion.
I'm going to find her.
(Rahl) You're not going alone.
She's my sister as well.
Richard, this could be a trap.
These Sisters of the Dark
are subject to Orden just like anyone else.
And they can't use their magic against Mord-Sith.
I'll take some of them with us.
You'll take me too.
No, Zedd.
I need you to stay here and look after Kahlan.
She's my wife now and she's with child.
I'm depending on you.
I'll be back soon.
( Jennsen grunts )
( screaming )
Whatever you're doing, it won't work.
My brother will come for you.
I'm planning on it.
Sister, our han is the Keeper's most sacred gift to us.
If we drink this serum, we'll lose our powers forever.
Yes, but the blood of the pristinely ungifted one
will also make us immune to all forms of magic,
including the barriers protecting the People's Palace.
Our han is a small sacrifice to pay
to ensure the Keeper's victory.
Drink.
( dramatic theme playing )
( gasps )
The three of us will infiltrate the Palace
and separate the Boxes of Orden.
The rest of you will wait here for Richard Rahl to arrive
and when the magic of Orden has left him,
you will kill him.
Once we have acquired the Boxes and the Sword of Truth,
we will be able to deliver the Keeper a great victory.
And the pristinely ungifted one?
What should we do with her?
She's of no further use to us.
Let her die.
( gagging )
( suspenseful theme playing )
Richard.
Give her the Breath of Life.
She's been cold for too long.
Even the most skilled Mord-Sith couldn't bring her back.
Do it anyway!
( breath gusting )
Once we've passed through the barrier,
we'll head for the south entrance.
You sure the serum will protect us?
Don't worry, sister.
If if fails you'll meet the Keeper
sooner than you had ever hoped.
( grunts )
( grunting )
What is it?
We're not alone in here.
Show yourselves.
( suspenseful theme playing )
( grunting )
( thunder rumbles )
( all grunting )
( action theme playing )
Long live Darken Rahl!
( cries out )
Why did this man attack you?
He's with the Third Battalion.
They refused to accept Richard as the legitimate heir.
He used Orden to force them to submit
The Boxes. They're gone.
If Richard no longer has the Power of Orden,
then the Mord-Sith and Darken Rahl
are no longer under his control.
( all grunting )
Thank you.
It's no trouble at all, brother.
( cries out )
( Agiel whining )
( Agiels whining )
( grunts )
( Agiels whining ) ( screaming )
I want him alive.
This was no happy coincidence, was it?
You and your Sisters lying in wait for my brother,
waiting for the precise moment
when he was deprived of the Power of Orden.
No doubt you are working with whoever it was
who separated the Boxes. I want to know where they are.
You'll learn nothing from me.
It's been some time since I last wielded an Agiel,
but I believe I still have the talent for it.
Answer me.
Where are the Boxes of Orden?
( screaming ) ( Agiel whining )
(Rahl) Looking for this?
Give me the Sword.
I had a little talk with one of your Sisters.
I know what you're planning.
This Sword is the only weapon in all Creation powerful enough
to destroy the Boxes of Orden.
And if they are destroyed, the veil will be torn,
and the Keeper will be able to send his minions
into the World of the Living.
(Marianna) Give us the Sword
and the Keeper will reward you for your devotion.
I can imagine a far greater reward.
The Boxes, if you please.
Kill him.
(Rahl) Behind you.
( grunts )
( gasping )
Bring him.
You bent me to your will.
Now I shall bend you to mine.
No! ( Agiel whining )
( thunder rumbling )
Kneel before me.
Yes, My Lord.
( dramatic theme playing )
Your Highness, the Third Battalion
is trying to take the palace.
It's not safe for you here.
I want you and three of your most loyal men,
soldiers not controlled by Orden.
We're going to find my husband.
( birds chirping )
( ominous theme playing )
It's worse than I imagined.
Rahl has the Boxes, the Sword, and the Power of Orden.
He's controlling Richard.
We have to free him.
The only way to do that is to kill Rahl,
but I can't blast him with Wizard's Fire,
the Mord-Sith will deflect it.
And if Rahl so much as sees us,
he'll bend us to his will just as surely as he did Richard.
Oh, Zedd. We have to do something.
There is one thing I can try,
but you're not going to like it.
I can try to reverse the Spell of Undoing.
Put the world back the way it was.
Zedd, I know things are bad, but...
do you really want to go back to an existence
where the dead walk among the living?
The Keeper is on the brink of victory.
Even in this world the Keeper is bent on destroying
the Land of the Living.
And he is not going to stop.
And with Richard enslaved to Rahl,
how will we defeat the Keeper?
At least in the other world we had Richard on our side
and with Richard we still had a fighting chance.
And our child?
What kind of a life would she have in a world
where her parents are enslaved to Darken Rahl?
Kahlan, I know this isn't easy.
I know how much you want to be with Richard,
but your life together here is over.
If you truly want to save him,
we have to try to put things back.
Richard may not be your husband in the other world,
but he still loves you dearly.
What do you need to reverse the spell?
We have to find Cara
and pray that Darken Rahl doesn't get to her first.
( suspenseful theme playing )
We've searched everywhere, My Lord.
Kahlan and the First Wizard must have fled.
No doubt they learned
I was taking up residence in the palace again.
If the Sisters of the Dark are to be believed,
then the Keeper is convinced
that your Wizard cast a spell that changed the world.
What do you know of this?
Zedd cast the spell on Cara Mason,
the woman I asked you to find in Stowecroft.
Perhaps Zeddicus decided the world he came from
is preferable to one in which I rule with the magic of Orden.
He may try to undo what was done to this Cara.
Get me a Journey Book.
Yes, My Lord.
( dramatic theme playing )
(Mord-Sith) Mistress Dahlia. What is it?
Orders from the People's Palace.
We're to proceed to Stowecroft right away.
We're to find a schoolteacher.
Her name is Cara.
Cara Mason? You know her?
A long time ago, when we were children,
before I joined my true family.
What else does it say, mistress?
Our orders are to kill her.
( soft theme playing )
I've fixed the hole in the roof,
painted the window trim, swept the chimney,
and, uh, chopped enough firewood to last two winters.
Anyone ever tell you you're a real taskmaster?
I suppose you'll be moving on now.
I guess so.
Do you know where you're going next?
Uh, Rivermore is a few leagues west,
I'll look for work there.
I'm sure you'll find someone there
who'll be grateful for your help.
I picked these for you.
They match your dress.
( breathing heavily )
Ugh. I'm sorry.
Flowers make me sneeze. I didn't realize.
I should have got you something else.
No. No, they're-- They're beautiful.
Where's Sofia and Sam? I made them some toys.
My sister took them for the-- The afternoon.
I don't want to leave without saying goodbye.
Well, if you're going to stay longer,
I-I suppose I can find something else
for you to do.
I don't believe it.
Leo Dane.
You know him?
For a brief time, he was the Seeker.
What? It's a long story.
Cara and Leo fell in love, but he was killed.
Fate is a mysterious force, Kahlan.
It brought Cara and Leo together again in this world.
But when you reverse the spell and make Cara a Mord-Sith,
he'll be dead again?
Mm-hm.
Zedd, this is wrong.
These people haven't done anything to anyone.
I wish there was another way, but there isn't.
And the Cara I know would give up this life in a heartbeat
if she knew that in doing so she'd be saving Richard.
( ominous theme playing )
I need to remove the Wizard's web
in order to reverse the spell.
( chants in ancient tongue )
Who are you?
What are you doing to me?
Try and stay calm.
You're-- You're the Mother Confessor,
aren't you?
Yes.
Please, let me go.
I'm sorry, we can't.
I have a son and a daughter.
I'm all they have left.
( Zedd chanting in ancient tongue )
( gasps )
I'll do anything you want, please let me go!
( arrows thudding )
(Kahlan) Zedd!
Dahlia.
I don't believe I've had the pleasure.
She's dead.
Why the worried faces?
I'm taking you home to the People's Palace.
There, you'll get to experience
the Power of Orden for yourselves,
and then you'll only have one care in the world:
serving your new master,
Lord Darken Rahl.
