All language subtitles for Legend of the Seeker S02E07

Zedd, behind you!

For the glory of D'Hara!

Command me, Confessor.

Tell me why you attacked us.

We have standing orders
to kill the Seeker.

Maybe you haven't gotten word.
The war's over.

Yes.

But there's a rumor among
the officer corps

that the Seeker
is of the Rahl bloodline,

that he's next
in line for the throne.

Then the D'Harans should
serve him, not try to kill him.

My commanding officer,
General Grix

wants to claim the throne
for himself.

He's trying to eliminate anyone
that would challenge him--

Not only the Seeker,
but rival generals

in the D'Haran army as well.

Only a Lord Rahl
can rule the empire,

not some common foot soldier.

This General Grix
doesn't sound very interested

in the royal lines
of succession.

Where can we find him?

He may command a legion but Bain
is a man like any other.

He'll be more open to compromise

once he's lost someone close
to his heart.

Order the quad
to deploy the first weapon

in the General's
home village, Norwood.

General Grix,
you have a visitor.

I have a message for you, sir.

I'm listening.

You'll have
to read it for yourself.

What does it say, sir?

It's an invitation.

General Grix isn't here.

Where is he?
No one seems to know.

He and his guards left
on horseback a day ago.

They rode northeast.

We'll track him.

Confessor,
there's something else.

A quad left the camp
on a raid this morning.

They were armed
with a cache of Whisperers.

"Whisperers"?

Magical weapons.

They kill by releasing
the captured screams

of Shadow People.

A sound so deadly
they can wipe out

every living creature
within a league.

Where is Grix getting
these weapons?

I wish I knew, Confessor.

I do know
that Grix wants to use them

to wipe out the home villages
of his rivals,

to scare them into submission.

You and Zedd,
track the quad.

Intercept them before they can
set off any of these Whisperers.

We'll go after the General,

find out where
he's getting these things.

We'll meet up in the glade east
of Carthran Lake.

Oh. I told you
we needed one alive.

He could have killed you,
Confessor.

Kahlan.

There's one missing.

Confessor, command me.

Where's the other Whisperer?

We hid it in Norwood...

under the East bridge.

When will it detonate?

Answer me!

When the sun reaches
its highest point in the sky.

I'm so sorry.

We have less than an hour.

Guard the crate.

If you had assumed the throne
of D'Hara months ago,

the army would
be helping you in your quest

instead of trying to kill you.

If I'd claimed the throne,
I wouldn't be on a quest

to find the Stone of Tears.

I'd be too busy killing
and scheming

to keep control of my empire.

Sometimes ruthlessness is
required of a leader.

Fear is the only thing
that has ever united D'Hara.

I'd never try
to get people to follow me

by killing and terrorizing them.

Your sentiments are noble,
but impractical.

A true leader takes power.

He doesn't ask his subjects
for permission first.

That was Darken Rahl's way,
not mine.

Now, let's go find Grix.

We're too late.

What did you do?

What happened?

I cast a deafness spell.

So we couldn't hear
the sound of the Whisperer.

Which is the only reason
we're still alive.

What about the villagers?

They're fine.

I spelled every living creature
from here to the horizon.

Even the field mice
were protected.

Well, I'm sure the field mice
are very grateful.

Now let's get those Whisperers
and get back to Richard.

A general trying
to conquer all of D'Hara

makes a detour
to visit a brothel.

Should I pretend
to be surprised?

Welcome to
the Palace of Athania.

What is your pleasure?

Tonight it seems
the pleasure is all mine.

Denna.

It's good
to see you again, Seeker.

I heard a rumor you were
traveling with a Mord-Sith.

Thank you, Bella,
I'll look after our guests.

Yes, Madame Denna.

Madame Denna.

The right hand
of Darken Rahl,

reduced to peddling flesh.

Times are difficult.

A Mord-Sith has
to make a living

now that the war is over.

I'm simply taking
what I've learned

and putting it to good use.

Pleasure after all
is the inverse of pain.

Knowledge of one makes mastery
of the other so much easier.

You of all people
should know that, Cara.

The place of a Mord-Sith
is at the side of Lord Rahl.

So the rumors are true.

We're looking for a D'Haran
General named Grix.

Do you know him?

I find it's good business
to be friendly

with the local commanders.

You provide them with whores

and in exchange,
they leave you alone.

Many of my clients would enjoy
your acerbic tongue.

You could do very well here.

What's your interest
in the general?

He's gotten hold
of a supply of Whisperers.

He's planning to use them
against other D'Haran officers,

destroy their villages.

If we don't find Grix, he could
wipe out half your clientele.

If you know where he is,
you'd better tell me.

He left.

When you find him--

and I'm certain you will.

--remind him he still owes me
for the damage he caused.

The General
and his men drank too much

and destroyed one
of my finest suites.

I'll pass that along.

As pleasant as this has been,

I have other guests
to attend to.

But I hope you will
both indulge yourselves

while you're here.

Compliments of the house,
of course.

It's the least I can do
for old friends.

Sorcerer.

Have you been selling these
weapons to the D'Harans?

I had no choice, madame.

I needed to sell Whisperers
to raise funds

to complete
my work for you.

This potion isn't easy
to come by.

And it's not cheap.

This single vial
is worth more than any jewel

in the Caves of Coradin.

You fool, you brought
the Seeker here.

I thought you wanted the Seeker
to come here.

I did.

But not yet.

I still haven't completed
the General's training.

I know Denna.

She's involved
with Grix in some way.

I'm going
to take a look around.

Find Zedd and Kahlan.
Bring them here.

It will take at least a day

to get back
to the meeting place.

Kahlan and Zedd may
not even be there yet.

If Denna is involved
with this general,

I'm going to need Kahlan
to get the truth out of her.

I can't leave you alone
with her.

I can handle Denna.

Go on, hurry.

Excuse me.

Are any of you acquainted
with a friend of mine?

A D'Haran general, name of Grix.

You're the Seeker, aren't you?

Yes.

You have done so much
for the people of the Midlands.

Allow me to give you something
in return.

Compliments of the house.

Leaving so soon, Cara?

Your merchandise is too delicate
for my taste.

Of all the Sisters of the Agiel,

you're the last I expected
to find with Richard.

I serve Lord Rahl.

You serve anyone
with a purse full of coins.

You may find this hard
to believe,

but I have a great deal
of affection for Richard.

I admire him.

But "Lord Rahl?"

You doubt it?

Do you truly believe Richard

has what it takes
to rule the Empire?

Is he bold enough,

ruthless enough?

It's not the place
of a Mord-Sith

to question the Lord Rahl...

only to serve him.

And if you
were still a true Mord-Sith,

you'd serve him too.

Under the right circumstances,
I might.

But I fear Richard's
been compromised.

Compromised?

By Kahlan.

You've seen
the way they are together.

She wouldn't need to confess him
to get him to do her bidding.

He'd sacrifice anything
for her.

His mission...
even you.

You don't know the first thing
about the Mother Confessor.

I know that Kahlan Amnell

doesn't care for Mord-Sith.

She tried to kill me, twice.

She's a woman of honor.

She spared my life

even after she learned
I killed her sister.

Her loyalties
aren't in question.

Yours are.

Safe journey, Cara.

I'll take good care of Richard.

If he has so much as a scratch
when I get back...

you'll be sorry.

You don't need to do that.

I just want to talk.

Don't you think I'm pretty?

Yes. Very.

But my heart is spoken for.

It's not your heart
that I'm interested in.

There are so many pleasures
to choose from.

Madame Denna
has instructed me personally.

I can even teach you some things

this woman of yours may enjoy.

I'm sure you're very good
at what you do.

But I need to know
about General Grix.

If I tell you...

will you help me?

Help you how?

This is my son, Edrand.

He's beautiful.

His father--
my husband.

--was killed during the war.

Maybe even by the very soldiers
who come to this place.

There's no other work for women
in ts province.

I only do this
so I can feed my son.

They say there's honest work
to be had in the Nathrin Valley,

but it's far from here and there
are bandits on the roads--

I'll make sure
you get there safely.

Thank the Spirits
you came here, Seeker.

I knew you'd help.

Did the general say where
he was going before he left?

The general never left.

His horse is still
in the stables.

Where is the Seeker?

With Lucinda.

Madame Denna told us there's
gonna be a big conclave

at the palace tomorrow.

She says General Grix
has invited

every battalion commander
in the province.

Did she say why?

All I know is we're supposed to
keep the commanders "happy."

That will be all.
Thank you, Lucinda.

Yes, Madame.

I thought I'd get
at least an hour.

You don't fool me, Richard.

We both know Lucinda

isn't woman enough for you.

There is someone else here

who I believe you
would find very enticing.

I'm surprised
you didn't request her.

It's not often
I entertain guests personally

but for you

I could make an exception.

If it would make
the experience more exciting,

I could even put on
a white dress.

Seeker!

Seeker!
Let her go.

Richard, no.

Take her below.

No! Madame, please, forgive me.

I'll do anything you ask.

Please...

I have a son.

You should have
thought about him

before you talked to the Seeker.

I'm ready to begin.

Are you certain
we should do this?

There's very little potion.

I don't have soldiers at my beck
and call anymore.

I need someone
to stop that Mord-Sith

from bringing the Confessor
and the wizard back here.

As you wish.

No.

Merciful creator
protect my child!

Please. No.

Who are you?

Where am I?

Everything's all right.

I'm a friend.

I've summoned your spirit
from the Underworld.

What have you done to me?

I've given you another body.

Another chance at life.

Why?

So you can
take vengeance on Cara,

the Mord-Sith who killed you.

What do we say?

Thank you, mistress.

Whatever it
is you think you're doing,

it won't work.

You had the D'Haran Empire
within your grasp,

and with it,
power beyond reckoning.

All you needed to do

was close your hand around it.

But you didn't.

You couldn't.

You're weak, Seeker.

Undeserving
of the title Lord Rahl.

I don't have time to sit
on Darken Rahl's throne.

I have a mission to complete.

I know.

The Stone of Tears.

That compass won't guide you
to the Stone.

It only works for me.

I'd better hold on to it
for you then.

I'd hate for it
to become damaged.

I know all
about your scheme, Denna.

The conclave.

You're using Grix
to get his rivals to come here.

You're planning to capture
and train them.

and use them to rule D'Hara.

I like how you think, Seeker.

But there's a flaw in you plan.

Assuming I could break
the entire officer corps,

that only gives me
control of the army.

To rule D'Hara,

one requires
the loyalty of the people.

For that,
I'd need a legitimate heir

to the empire.

Someone of the Rahl bloodline.

You think you're
going to train me?

You tried that before
and you failed.

I don't need to train
you to control D'Hara.

Whatever it is you're planning,
you won't succeed.

Cara's on her way
to get Kahlan and Zedd.

Unfortunately for you,

Cara isn't going to live long
enough to deliver her message.

Kahlan?

Zedd?

Who are you?

Kahlan?

You know me?

It's me, Dennee.

Your sister.

My sister is dead.

I know it's hard to believe,

I don't look like myself,
but it is me.

My spirit was summoned

from the Underworld
and placed in this body.

No, this is a trick.

Whoever she is,
she did try to confess me.

Do you remember
the meadowlark you found?

The hatchling
with the broken wing?

We brought it into the house.

You nursed it until
it could fly.

The day you set it free,
we both cried.

Do you remember
what you told me?

"The things you love--"

"The things you love
will always come back to you."

Look into my eyes.

You'll see I'm telling
the truth.

Little sister.

Have I pleased you, Mistress?

Very much so.

I have one final task for you.

When you've achieved it,

you'll have completed
your training.

Would that make you happy?

Whatever makes you happy,
Mistress, makes me happy.

I want you
to kill yourself.

Mistress, how can I
serve you if I'm dead?

General, don't give in to her!

Do it now.

Yes, Mistress.
General, no!

You've lost your mind.

Why train Grix if you were
just planning to kill him?

The woman said this

Mord-Sith had just left
and that she had killed you too.

I'm so glad
that you're alive.

She said once
I'd killed the Mord-Sith

she'd help me start
a new life.

Denna.

Richard and I tracked Grix
to a brothel she's running.

He thinks she's involved
with the general somehow.

He sent me back here
to get you and Zedd.

Apparently she was
supposed to stop me.

What better assassin

to send after a Mord-Sith

than a Confessor
bent on revenge.

Her touch would have
been deadly to Cara

if you hadn't have
stopped her.

Why did you, Kahlan?

This woman and her
Sisters of the Agiel

came to Valeria,
hunted us.

I had to drown my own child
to keep him from them.

They killed his father,
and then she killed me.

I know.

You know?

There's so much
that I need to tell you,

but I don't have any time.

If Richard is with Denna,
he's in trouble.

We need to go now.

No. I'm not going anywhere
with that monster.

Mistress, General Bain
has arrived with his battalion.

And the rest of the officers?

They'll be here soon.

I want you and the others
to keep them in good spirits

until I'm finished here.
Of course, Mistress.

Hm.

We could have been
so good together, Seeker,

and in a way, we still can be.

The pain will be brief,
but intense.

You remember, don't you?

Whatever you're planning,
Kahlan will stop you.

Hm.

Not this time.

Goodbye, Seeker.

I nearly killed Cara when
I learned what she did to you.

Why didn't you?

Richard.

He needs her. She's proven
herself a loyal ally.

I struggle every day
with what she did to you.

A part of me still
wants vengeance,

but I've had to put
those feelings aside.

She isn't the person she was

when she led that
mission to Valeria.

She's changed.

Kahlan.

Something's wrong.
What is it?

My Agiels. Their magic,
it's not working.

There's no pain.

How can that be?

The Agiels get their power
from the Mord-Sith's bond

with the presiding Lord Rahl.
Richard.

If the bond has been severed,
it can only mean one thing...

Richard's dead.

How wonderful to see
you again, my brother.

Welcome to the Underworld.

There is someone else

you should say hello to.
Another new arrival.

I believe you're
already acquainted.

Grix.

The good general

was one of my most
faithful servants.

The chaos he unleashed
after my demise

sent thousands of souls
to this place.

I just offered to give
him a second life.

A chance to continue his
ruthless ways as a baneling,

but he refused.

He says his "Mistress"
instructed him to turn down

the Keeper's generous offer.

Do you know why?

Because he says that
she is going to use

magic to place his spirit
in your body.

For once,
our interests are aligned.

If what Grix here
says is true,

then Denna and this
sorcerer of hers

have revived an ancient magic

capable of stealing any soul
from the Underworld.

The Keeper cannot allow
anyone to hold this power.

He must have dominion
over the dead.

You and your Keeper
are afraid of her.

There isn't much time, Richard.

Soon Grix will be summoned

and there isn't anything
I can do to stop it.

Once his spirit
is inside your body,

you will be my guest
here for eternity.

There's only one way
to thwart Denna's scheme.

Accept my 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.

Well, at least I will have
the pleasure of your company.

General?

Mistress.

I'm so pleased to see you again.

It's time for you to play
the role I've trained you for.

Are you ready?

You are going to have

the depths of time to reflect
on the mistake you just made.

Your body may belong
to Denna now,

but your eternal soul

belongs to me.

More wine, general?

General Grix called us here
to negotiate a truce

not to cavort with whores.

Now, where is he?

He's right here.

The Seeker.

I prefer the title

"Lord Rahl."

Rahl or not, my soldiers
will not fall to their knees

before a man who has slaughtered
so many of their comrades.

They will if they want
to keep their heads.

Anyone else?

Grix was a thug,

but he had the right idea.

Swear your allegiance to me

and I will unite
your battalions

and save D'Hara from itself.

Warriors of D'Hara.

Hear me.

You knew me as the Seeker,

but my true name
is Richard Rahl,

son of Panis Rahl,

and rightful heir
to the throne of D'Hara.

Since the death of my brother,

chaos has gripped our lands.

While your generals send you
into battle against each other,

dark forces have risen up,

threatened your homes,
your families.

We must not
be divided any longer!

He's alive.

That's not our Richard.

Then why is the magic
of the Agiels back?

Because the Seeker's heart
is beating again.

Unlike a Confessor's,

a Rahl's magic comes from
his blood, not his spirit.

March with me into
the People's Palace,

and I promise you:

D'Hara will be restored

to its days of conquest
and glory.

March with me
to the People's Palace

and to victory!

Master Rahl, guide us.

Master Rahl, teach us.

Master Rahl, protect us.

In your light we thrive

In your mercy we are sheltered

Well done, my lord.

Only the prophets know
what dark spirits

Denna's placed
inside Richard.

Whoever it is,
he's fully in Denna's control.

Mord-Sith only wear white

when they've finished
breaking someone.

How do we get him back?

I'm not very familiar with
this kind of dark sorcery,

but I do know that this Richard

will have to die for the true
Seeker to live again.

We'll find the sorcerer
who brought back Dennee,

force him to do the same
for Richard.

Where is this sorcerer?

He must still be at the palace.

You can get in.

They know your face.

I'll find him and confess him.

I doubt Denna was planning
on letting you live

if you came back.
I'll go with her.

How will I explain
you to the guards?

I'm sure I'm not the first
old man they've seen

in the company of a pretty,
young courtesan.

And Richard?

We can't attack
an entire legion.

We'll track them until
they make camp for the night,

then slip in and find him.

Then what?

Kill Lord Rahl and simply
walk off with his body?

You sent for me, Mistress?

You're no longer
to address me as "Mistress."

And from now on you will answer

only to "Richard"
or "Lord Rahl."

Do you understand?

Of course, Mistr-- Denna.

The men have earned
a few hours' rest,

but I'm not tired.

Take off your clothes.

What are you doing here?

I was told to come back after
I'd killed the Mord-Sith.

She's dead?

The woman who revived me

said that she would help
me start a new life.

She did ask me
to give you something.

He's all yours.

Command me, Confessor.

You will restore
the Seeker to his body

and the woman
who belongs to this one.

I will do as you say, Confessor,

but this elixir is very rare.

There's only enough left

to cast the spell one more time.

I can only bring
one of you back.

Take your hands off him.

Kill her.

Careful.

You wouldn't want to get blood
over your nice white leather.

Guards!

Guards!

Follow me.

Kahlan!

You aren't going to kill
the man you love.

He's not the man I love.

No!

Drop your weapon

Mistress?

Kill them both.

Stand down, all of you.

What do you think you're doing,
lieutenant?

It's no use, general.

He's been confessed by me.

Would one of you fools
run him through?

You can try to kill him,

but before he breaths
his last breath,

he'll detonate that Whisperer.

Every living thing within
a league of here will be dead.

She's bluffing.

Kill her.
General,

you can live to fight another
battle if you leave now.

Or you can listen to her
and throw all of our lives away.

Do as I say.

I don't take orders
from Mord-Sith.

Only from the Lord Rahl
and he's dead.

Order the battalion to withdraw.

Cara, not now.
We came for Richard.

May I speak with you?

I just want you to know

I regret
what I did in Valeria.

I can't accept your apology.

I needed to say it anyway.

No!

We will see each other again,
brother.

Richard?

I didn't think I was going
to see you again.

Any of you.

We should get moving.

Still a lot of D'Haran
soldiers in the area.

The compass.

It's gone.

Denna.

She can't have gone far.

Lucinda,
I'm glad you're all right.

Actually, it's Dennee.

It's true.

I'm glad you're with us.

But Lucinda, she lost her life
so I could have this body.

There was only enough magic
to bring you back.

We should find Denna
before the trail goes cold.

We will.

But first there's someone
else we need to see.

She says you're
welcome to stay with her

and raise the boy
as your own.

May the Spirits protect you.

You explained I'm not
really her daughter?

She said
the boy needs a mother.

He reminds me of my son.

I'm sure Lucinda
would be very grateful.

I'm not sure how I feel about
living another woman's life.

Maybe I should go with you,

help with your quest.

It's too dangerous.

I've already
lost you twice,

I don't know what
I'd do if I lost you again.

You'll be safer here.

No one will know who you are.

I've ordered him to stay

and protect you in case
anyone does threaten you.

When you need me,
you know where to find me.

I'm so happy to have you back,
little sister.

Now, let's find that compass.

Hyah!
