[***]

[GRUNTS]

How was that?

Let's try something a bit
more challenging, shall we?

[SPITS]

[ZEDD CHANTS IN ANCIENT TONGUE]

Try now.

[SCOFFS]

You told me
I have this destiny

to save the world
from Darken Rahl,

and that his soldiers are
out there, trying to kill me.

But instead of looking for him,

I'm slicing fruit
for your breakfast.

Rahl and his minions
live in the shadows.

Some even cloak themselves
in black magic.

By the time
you lay eyes on them:

Again.

[***]

What are you doing?

Following my instincts?

You're guessing.

Lesson number four, Seeker.

"To see that which is not there,

gaze upon what is."

You must learn to perceive
the world as no one else can.

Again.

[SIGHS]

[***]

It worked.

Don't be too impressed
with yourself.

Your enemies will be far more
devious than a melon.

[***]

[***]

[GASPS]

Uh, I'm sorry.
KAHLAN: Richard!

What are you--?
No, sorry. I--

I didn't know you were there.
Richard!

Someone's stealing our horses!
What?

The horses!

Whoa! Hey.

[HORSES WHINNYING]

[***]

[RICHARD YELLS]

[GRUNTING]

[BOTH GRUNTING]

[SCREAMS]

[PANTING]

[***]

[***]

ZEDD:
with our horses,es off

right under the nose
of the Seeker!

I was distracted.

What on the Prophet's good earth
could have distracted you?

RICHARD:
have been any older than 16.'t

Was I supposed to kill him?

"Where there is no way,
the Seeker will find a path."

Lesson number four.

You said the last one
was number four.

Number five, then!

Are you making these up?

Which way did he go?

Southeast.

He's riding
for Drundril.

Perhaps someone there
will be kind enough

to sell us back
our horses.

Uh, Kahlan, uh,
about back at the river.

I didn't see anything.

Richard,

you should never lie
to a Confessor.

[***]

[HORSES WHINNY]

Back so soon?

How much for the horses?

One vial.

That's all?

You want it or not?

[***]

A pleasure doing business.

Mm. That one.

Yeah.

Miranda.

Hi.

Yeah. Thanks.

[SIGHS]

[***]

Miranda.

[GROANS]

Stay away from me.

So any idea?
Any idea at all?

Take a look around.

This town is filled
with thieves and cheats.

There are dozens of boys
who could've stolen your horses.

My compliments.

Looks like you could use it.

Thanks.

[SIGHS]

I hope you had better luck
than I did.

No one admits
to knowing anything.

Maybe you should
just confess them all

to find out
if anyone's lying.

You can do that?

[***]

I think I know
where to find our horse thief.

[***]

How do you know
where we're going?

I don't know.
I've just got this feeling.

It's this way.

Something you've been
teaching him?

No,
I can't take credit for this.

There hasn't been a true Seeker
in a thousand years.

We may not know what Richard's
full potential is.

RICHARD:
That's him.

Maybe I shouldn't have been so
quick to dismiss your instincts.

Tell us
where the horses are.

I don't have them anymore.

But I can tell you
who does for 10--

No, 20 pieces of gold.

[RICHARD SCOFFS]

All I have
is one piece of steel.

Now tell me
where they are.

I can't.
The peddlers will kill me.

What peddlers?

Perhaps the gentle touch
of a Confessor will, uh,

convince you to be
more cooperative.

All right.

I'll take you to them.

I need something

to give me luck at the table.

I can't
make you lucky,

but I can
give you this.

You'll be able to see right
through your opponents' cards.

RICHARD:
Sir.

I believe you have
some horses

that were stolen from us.

We want them back.

You mean the horses
he traded me?

Look, we didn't come here
to fight.

We just want
what belongs to us.

Get rid of them.

[MEN GRUNTING]

[***]

[ALL GRUNTING]

You!

You brought
these people here!

[***]

[MEN GRUNTING]

[ALL GRUNTING]

[SWORDS CLANGING]

Stop.

I'm warning you.

No!

[WOMAN SHRIEKS]

He's a Wizard!

Are you all right?

Yeah.

DREA:
Hello again.

I see you found the boy
you were looking for.

Glad I could be
of service.

What?
What do you mean?

The pint you drank.
I mixed in something magical.

An elixir.

Helps you find whatever it is
you're looking for.

You put something in my drink?

Heh. You didn't
really think you had

some kind of special power,
did you?

I have more
of that potion.

Others too.

If you're interested,

you know where to find me.

Something wrong?

Oh, I'm fine.

Gentlemen.

Um, this is my store.

If you need supplies--
Oh, no.

Thanks.
We have to be on our way.

I--

I saw your blade.

The, uh--
The markings.

It's the Sword of Truth,
isn't it?

It is.

You're the Seeker.

You can save this town
from the men

who are trying to destroy it.

[***]

There's another Wizard
in the village.

Another Wizard.

It'll be good
to have some company.

Bring him to me.

[***]

The Prophecy said

that the Seeker
would one day return,

and lift the shroud
of darkness from our--

From our lives, but--

Most people thought
it was just legend.

But here you are,

ready t-t-to save our village
from these magic peddlers.

They sell magic?

They're on every street corner,

in the tavern...

Seems like everybody in the
village is buying their potions.

I-I've lost
most of my customers.

Farmers are not sowing
their fields,

children are being left
to go hungry.

That boy
I saw you with, Jack...

What about him?

He was a--
He was a fine young man

until his parents traded
everything they had for magic.

Even their home.

He was, uh--
He was left to fend for himself.

What kind of potions
are these peddlers selling?

The kind that give
ordinary folk

powers they shouldn't have.

Curses, hexes,

spells of every kind.

ZEDD:
These peddlers,

they're not Wizards
or sorcerers.

Where does the magic they sell
come from?

Couldn't say.

Uh, one day,
they were just here.

Drundril was a good place
to live before they came.

And now that
the Seeker is here,

it can be good again.

[***]

I want to help
these people,

but my mission
is to fight Darken Rahl.

Rahl isn't the only evil
in the Midlands.

He has his sympathizers
and collaborators.

It's the Seeker's duty
to fight them wherever he can.

Remember:
"Before chopping off the head,

"make certain
the body is dead,

lest the head grow back."

What lesson is that?
No lesson.

Just something I learned
in a cookbook.

RYMUS:
My Lady.

It's all right.

Theodoro Rymus,
at your service.

I've chased away the men
who were threatening you.

Is there anything more
I can do to please you?

KAHLAN:
There is.

The potions you sell.
Where do they come from?

RYMUS:
The old prophets' temple.

Two leagues north of here.

We'll need our horses back.

I'm sorry.
I sold them to a trader.

You what?
No.

He left town
this morning.

But I can take you
to the temple.

That's not necessary.
You can draw us a map.

Then, Theodoro,

I want you to leave
this village.

Leave?

We can't just let him go.

Leave this village

and take up honest work.

Do you understand me?

As you wish.

[***]

RICHARD:
That magic peddler, Rymus.

What did Kahlan do to him?

Now you know why
she's called a "Confessor."

With a single touch, Kahlan can
bend anyone to her will.

She can make a person
tell the truth,

that's the
"confessor" part.

Or she can compel him
to do unimaginable things.

I saw her do it back
in Hartland.

She made a D'Haran soldier
kill his comrades.

I didn't understand
what was happening.

But why did Rymus
come back?

And the way he was
looking at her...

It's one of the repercussions
of Kahlan's powers.

The confessed falls in love with
the woman who confessed him.

In love?

I don't understand.

It's complicated.

I'd like to know.

It's something that's not easy
for Kahlan.

It's a heavy burden
she carries.

It's not for me
to talk about.

Maybe she'll tell you--

I didn't mean now!

[***]

[BOTH COUGHING]

ZEDD:
Kahlan!

Richard!

[***]

[GRUNTING]

Rada'han.

What if he
wakes up?

As long as he's
wearing this,

he won't be able
to use his magic.

[***]

[***]

Kahlan? Kahlan?

Zedd?

He's gone.

We have to find him.

[***]

Peddlers.

We know where
their temple is.

[***]

Maybe this
is the wrong place.

Maybe Rymus
lied to you.

That's not possible.

Well, what?

They've moved?

But where?

[GRUNTS]

ZEDD:
Jeziah?

Zeddicus, old friend.

Forgive me.

I hope my men
didn't hurt you.

M-- My companions.

They weren't harmed.

If this is how
you greet an old friend,

I'm glad we didn't part
on worse terms.

When I heard there was
a Wizard in the village,

I assumed he was working
for Darken Rahl.

If I'd known it was you,
I would've invited you

for roasted partridge
instead of having you abducted.

Why would you assume
I worked for that tyrant?

The Midlands have changed since
you disappeared, Zeddicus.

Sorcerers and dark Wizards
are everywhere,

ready to do the bidding
of whoever pays the most.

[GROANS]

I have so much to tell you,
Zeddicus.

But first...

Where have you been
all these years?

No tracks. Anywhere.

They must've used a spell
to cloak their trail.

You shouldn't have let
Rymus go.

He could've helped us
find Zedd.

What?

When I confess someone,

they lose their free will.

They become...

...like a slave.

I don't believe it's right
to continue forcing them

to do my bidding
any longer than I have to.

Even someone like Rymus?

People deserve
a chance to change.

To become better than what
the world made them.

Your instinct as a Seeker.
It led you to the boy.

You could use it
to find Zedd.

[CHUCKLES]

It wasn't any
"Seeker instinct."

But you found Jack.

The barmaid at the tavern
slipped something in my drink.

One of those potions.
What?

That's how I found Jack.
It had nothing to do with me.

But it did work.

I could go back
and get more.

No. Magic is not meant
to be used in that way.

You use magic.
You confessed Rymus.

I was born with this power.

I didn't buy it in a tavern.

What's the difference?

Richard, you've seen
what these potions can do.

What happened to that village,
to Jack.

I know you wanna protect me
'cause I'm the Seeker, but--

It's not just because
you're the Seeker.

Richard, I...

WILFORD:
Seeker!

You gotta come right away!

Jack's in trouble!

[***]

We crossed the Boundary
two months ago,

and we've been on the road
since then.

And this young man
you're traveling with,

you really believe
he's the true Seeker?

He has a lot to learn,
but...

Yes, he is
the genuine article.

And take it
from one who knows,

he could have no better teacher
than you, Zeddicus.

The people of the Midlands
have new reason to hope.

Dare I ask, what you were
planning to do with me

in the event
that I wasn't your old friend?

Let me show you.

[***]

A quillion?

Where did you--?

It wasn't easy
to come by.

If you had been
one of Rahl's Wizards,

I would've used it
to absorb your magic,

and distill it into this.

You're making the magic
that's being peddled

on the streets of Drundril.

Why?

The sale of these potions will
allow me to raise a militia.

An army of the Midlands.

A force powerful enough to fight
Rahl and his followers.

Jeziah.

I want to defeat
Darken Rahl too.

But selling magic?

It goes against everything
we believe in.

Everything I taught you.

Those teachings are from
another era, old friend.

Rahl isn't playing
by any rules.

And that justifies
exploiting these villagers?

Their lives are dreary.

They're suffocating
under Rahl's edicts.

The magic
gives them an escape.

Magic is-- Is rare.

It's-- It's special.

You can't just sell it
on the streets to anyone

for a few
copper coins.

In the wrong hands, it--
It ruins lives.

It kills!

One village
is a small price to pay

if we can save
the rest of the Midlands.

You've forgotten more about
magic than I'll ever know.

If we work together,

we can find other Wizards
and sorcerers working for Rahl.

Drain them of their magic.
Create a more powerful army!

You expect me to help you?

Hear me out.
I've heard more than enough!

Tell them to move. Jeziah!

[GROANING]

What are you doing?

JEZIAH:
I'm sorry, old friend.

My work is too important.

[***]

[GRUNTS]

I paid Rymus

before you and your mates
drove him off.

Now, I want my money,

or the potion I paid for.

I don't have either!

I guess I'm gonna have to
take it out on your hide, then.

Leave the boy alone.

This ain't your village.

And who are you
to interfere?

[***]

[BOTH GRUNTING]

Get out of here,
now!

Take care of him. I'll be back.
Where are you going?

Richard, no!
This is getting worse.

And we need to find Zedd. Who
knows what's happening to him?

This is not the way.

You can't keep using
these potions.

I don't want to do it,
either.

But I don't have
any other idea.

Do you?

[GRUNTS]

I knew
you'd be back.

It's that pretty girl
you were with, isn't it?

I saw the way
you were looking at her.

I have something that'll make
you irresistible to her.

No, no.
I want what you gave me before.

How much can you pay?

I don't have any money.

Then I'm sorry,
I can't help you.

My friend is in a lot
of trouble.

There's must be something
I can trade.

That's an interesting
pendant.

This?
My father gave it to me.

It's all I have left of him.

Must be valuable.

Only to me.

There must be something else
I can give. Please.

You have nothing else
I want.

Fine.

[***]

[GROANING]

What did you see?

My friend. He's hurt.

He was underground.
Are their caves near here?

Dozens of them.
South of the Gully.

How do I know which one?
The potion will lead you.

But it won't last.
You'd better hurry.

This is your fault.
You and your friends.

I guess you should've stolen
someone else's horses.

I needed them.

To buy magic.

What did you
use it for?

A girl.

A girl?
Yeah.

Tell me about her.

Her name's Miranda.

She works
at the flower stand.

Prettiest
in the whole town.

But she won't even look at me,
unless I use the potion.

Have you tried
talking to her?

I-I don't know what to say.

I can't even think
when I'm around her.

Of course.

You could confess Miranda.

Make her like me.

Not just for a few minutes,
but all the time.

I could never use my power
in that way, Jack.

Love is a choice we make.

If you take away that choice,

it's not really love, is it?

Someone loving you,
wanting to be with you,

because you forced them...?

Trust me,

it won't make you happy.

I can find Zedd,
but we have to go now.

[***]

No!

[BOTH PANTING]

[PANTING]

[ZEDD CHANTING
IN ANCIENT TONGUE]

ZEDD:
One word from me

and my little friend
will make a meal out of you.

Cut me loose and I'll tell him
to let you go.

[CHANTS IN ANCIENT TONGUE]

The quillion will absorb
all of your power

in a matter of hours.

Then not even the rats
will follow you.

But it doesn't have
to be this way.

Where is your militia,
Jeziah?

All I see are thugs
and thieves.

Are they going to be
the generals

in your
army of the Midlands?

If you wanted to fight Rahl,

you could be out there
doing it now,

but you're not, are you?

I need time and money
to build an army.

How much more do you need?

The villagers have given you
everything they own.

Are you sure you're not
just making yourself rich?

Using magic to acquire power
over others?

Do not judge me,
Zeddicus.

You of all people
have no right.

You ran away at the moment
you were needed most.

I left to protect the Seeker!

Are you sure you weren't really
protecting yourself?

Using magic for your own gain.

You say you want
to destroy Rahl?

You're just like him.

[GROANS]

And you're just an old fool.

[GASPS]

Here.
[GRUNTS]

Are you angry with me?

I'm not angry.

Your forehead wrinkles
when you're upset.

I'm not upset, I'm--

[YELPS]

[***]

[GRUNTS]

Ah. You all right?

Maybe I shouldn't have
gone back for the potion.

But you have to admit,
it's working.

And when you have a problem
that you can't solve with magic,

what will you do then?
[SIGHS]

[BOTH GRUNT]

Richard!

I'll protect you.
I told you to leave.

You told me
to leave the village.

And I did.

But I love you too much
to be out of your sight.

I won't leave you again,
my lady.

[GASPS]

Richard.

[SIGHS]

Richard.

Don't hurt him.

He tried to kill me.

He thought
he was protecting me.

I'm prepared
to die for her. Are you?

KAHLAN:
He can't help it.

He's not in control
of his feelings.

We have to find Zedd.

Which way?

I don't know.

Richard.

The potion,

I think it's wearing off.

JEZIAH:
Pack everything.

We're leaving as soon as
the quillion has done its work.

Why?
No one can find us here.

He's traveling
with the Seeker.

Do you want me to kill him?

I don't know
which is more merciful.

To kill him,

or force him
to live without his powers.

This is his fault.
If he hadn't delayed us...

You worked for these people,
you know where their cave is?

I only
knew about the temple.

Where are you going?
Back to the tavern.

You can do this
without the potion, Richard.

You're the Seeker.

The Seeker of Truth,
not of Wizards.

The potion's gotten us
this far,

it can help us
the rest of the way.

What would Zedd say
if he were here?

If he saw you relying on magic
instead of your wits,

and your senses?

You can do this
without magic, Richard.

[SIGHS]

I believe in you.

I don't know where to start.

The vision you had of Zedd,
what do you remember?

[RICHARD SIGHS]

It was dark,

there was green on the wall.

Glittermoss.

Does that help us?

It only grows where
there's fresh water nearby,

like a river or lake.

Echo Lake isn't far.

KAHLAN:
That must be it.

RYMUS:
There are a lot of caves.

It could take us days
to search them.

The moss was being fed
by water dripping downwards.

It's below the waterline.

The lowlands.
South of the lake.

There are only
a few caves there.

Take us.
I only follow her orders.

Take us there.

[***]

[WATER DRIPPING]

Glittermoss.

RICHARD:
Zedd?

Zedd.

[WEAKLY]
My boy.

They've taken my powers.

[***]

[ZEDD GROANING]

Why aren't they masking
their trail?

They're moving too fast.
They mustn't have time.

They they are.

[GROANING]

GOSFID:
Hey, stop the cart.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

GOSFID:
There's only two of them.

You forget who's after us.
Stop them.

ZEDD:
That's the Wizard
who stole my powers.

[ALL GRUNTING]

My lady!

I'll save you!

[GROWLS]

[ALL GRUNTING]

[***]

[CHANTS IN ANCIENT TONGUE]

JEZIAH:
Strike me down if you can,
Seeker.

[***]

ZEDD:
To see that which is not there,
gaze upon what is.

[GRUNTS]

[ALL GRUNTING]

[GROANS]

[KAHLAN GRUNTS]

RICHARD:
Kahlan!

[ALL GRUNTING]

KAHLAN:
Richard, the Wizard!

[***]

[KAHLAN GRUNTS]

RYMUS:
No!

[KAHLAN YELLS]

[ALL GRUNTING]

No!

[ALL GRUNTING]

[YELLING]

[GRUNTS]

Oh, my lady.

Try not to move.

RYMUS:
All my life,

I've been a thief, a liar.

Thank you for letting me die

with honor.

You should kill me.

We're taking you to a healer.

You'll wear the rada'han
for the rest of your life.

You'll never have the powers
of a Wizard again, old friend.

You know him?

I thought I did.

[***]

You all right?

I've absorbed
most of my powers.

Not quite back
to my old self.

Maybe in a couple of days.

Maybe?

If there's one thing
I've learned about magic,

it's that
nothing is guaranteed.

Magic tore this town apart.

I used it twice.

I would've gone back
a third time

if Kahlan hadn't stopped me.

According to her,
it was your tracking skills

that found me in the end.

It was our training
that helped you defeat Jeziah.

But if I hadn't used
the potion,

I wouldn't have known
you were in a cave.

You could have died.

So then,
magic is a good thing?

Rymus wouldn't have helped us

if Kahlan hadn't used magic
to confess him.

True enough.

But on the other hand,
he'd still be alive.

I can see why
it's such a burden for her.

So, what lessons do you draw
from all this, Seeker?

[RICHARD LAUGHS]

There aren't any easy answers.

Magic isn't good or bad,

it's...complicated.

Ah, yes.

That's lesson number six.

You are making these up,
aren't you?

[***]

Richard.

I found something
that belongs to you.

How did you--?

Confessors can be
quite persuasive.

WILFORD:
I can't thank you enough.

Everyone in this village
is in your debt.

Even if they're not
gonna be happy about it.

Your neighbors
are just gonna have to learn

to fix their problems
without magic.

Maybe you can show them how.

Me?

Excuse me.

One rose, please.
A white one.

Five pence.

Is it for her?

No, it's for you.

I never see anyone buy flowers
for the flower girl.

I know this doesn't make up
for what I did.

But I hope someday
we can be friends.

Maybe there's hope for them.

Maybe for them,

but not for
the two of you.

What are you talking about?

Kahlan, Richard
has feelings for you.

You're imagining things.

To see that which is not there,
gaze upon what is.

I see the way
he looks at you,

and how you're starting
to notice him.

But you know neither of you
can ever act on these feelings.

So the question is,

are you going to tell him,
or shall I?

[***]
