The Shannara Chronicles (2016) s02e10 Episode Script

1 Now ends the Druid Order.
(GRUNTS) (PANTING) He won't stay down for long.
You must find Wil.
He is our last hope.
I'm not leaving without you.
(BREATHING HEAVILY) Go now.
Find Wil! (GRUNTS) Father, you're too weak, he'll kill you! I must try to end this now.
No! (GRUNTS) (GRUNTS) (ALLANON BREATHING HEAVILY) Don't be afraid.
I will always be with you.
Now go.
(GRUNTING) (CONTINUES GRUNTING) (GROWLING) (GRUNTING) - (PANTS) Mareth.
- Wil! The Warlock Lord is here! - Allanon saved me, but - I have to help.
He can't take him alone.
Allanon! (STRANGLED GASPING) (SPEAKS ANCIENT DRUID) (ALLANON GROANING) No! (CRIES OUT) (GASPS) MARETH: No! Wil! (WIL PANTING) Allanon! I feel it running through my veins And I need that fire Just to know that I'm awake (MARETH PANTING) He can't be gone.
I should have been here.
(PANTING) This is no time for regret.
We were caught off guard, and we paid the price.
The Warlock Lord is gone.
He must be on his way to Heaven's Well.
We have to go after him.
He died for nothing.
(SOBS) No.
He died to protect you.
He was right to do so.
This world owes Allanon a great debt.
(CRYING) We're gonna do what Allanon wanted and we're gonna fight.
This isn't over.
COGLINE: We cannot let your father's sacrifice be in vain.
Understand? There's no time for fear, no time for doubt.
Everything hangs in the balance.
This doesn't work without the both of you.
The Druid and the Shannara.
(SIGHS) LYRIA: Please, Eretria, don't do this.
Untie me.
(BREATHING HEAVILY) I brought you the Princess.
(BREATHING HEAVILY) Such beauty.
Heaven's Well awaits.
No signs of a siege.
You think we made it in time? Can't say.
But one way or another, the battle ends here.
(HORSE WHINNIES) I want archers on every balcony.
Cover every approach.
Do we know the size or scope of the Warlock Lord's army? My scouts report no evidence of an army.
If he is marching on Leah, he's traveling light.
Oh he's marching all right.
He wants Heaven's Well.
Have your men heard anything from Allanon? Nothing yet.
You have your orders, people.
Now let's batten it down.
And if this is our last show, let's make sure it's a damn good one.
The river must flow with my blood.
Yes, my lord.
Eretria, please.
Don't listen to him.
Okay, I know you're still in there.
If we let him have his way, my people, our friends, will die.
I need you to fight for us.
- Enough! - (GASPS) Do as I command.
The Well is inside a temple, behind those falls.
You'll have to go up on foot.
Spoken like a man who's not coming with us.
I must return to the palace to protect the dam.
If the Warlock Lord poisons Heaven's Well, and his blood gets into the reservoir, the dam will be the only thing holding back the tide of darkness.
Nothing quite like a Druid pep talk.
You have the sword.
You have each other.
You've seen your truth, and now you must embrace it.
May the shades of your fathers watch over you.
Good luck.
This is where your men should be when we come in.
Eretria, where's Allanon? Give it to me straight.
How screwed are we? The Warlock Lord has Lyria.
And he's heading to Heaven's Well.
We must protect the dam at all costs.
Is there a control room for the spillways? Follow me.
(LYRIA PANTING) Soon my shadow will extend across the Four Lands.
(PANTING) What do you want from me? You are the key.
(GASPS) (LYRIA PANTING) You're free now.
(GRUNTS) We have to assume he's already made it to the Well.
Stay alert.
- Wil, wait.
(SIGHS) - What's up? Nothing.
Just, everything actually.
First Allanon tells me I'm the future of the Druid Order, and now you're saying that I'm Queen of the Elves, and now the fate of the Four Lands is in our hands.
It's a lot to carry.
Do you remember when you stalked me at the tavern in Storlock and you told me, what was it again? To drop the tortured loner act.
And I wasn't stalking you.
Uh.
Well, I guess it's my turn to say you're a much better badass than you are a reluctant hero.
Look, (CHUCKLES) I know I was kind of a jerk to you when we first met.
Kind of? What I'm trying to say is that I get it.
I get why you didn't wanna help me.
Why you couldn't just get over it.
It's okay.
You didn't know what I'd been through.
But you warned me.
You told me that magic would only bring me pain.
So did Allanon.
But I didn't listen.
(SIGHS) Until you have lived with magic, you can't know its price.
You should know something, while we're clearing the air.
What? When we first met, I was just looking for an excuse to wallow in my pain.
And you snapped me out of it.
I wouldn't be here without you.
You know that, right? Good.
Because there's no one I'd rather have by my side.
Well, then I guess we've got some climbing to do.
All right (OMINOUS INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC PLAYING) (EXHALES) (SPEAKING ANCIENT DRUID) This room controls the spillways.
One way in, one way out.
Designed to be impregnable in the event of a siege.
No demons.
Guess we beat 'em to the punch.
They'll come.
It's just a matter of time.
Heaven's Well feeds right into the lake.
If Wil and Mareth fail it'll be up to us to keep the spillway secure.
We can lock it shut manually.
We have to hand crank it from over here.
Good.
Then let's get started.
Station as many of your men outside as you can.
No one gets in or out.
And, Jax, be careful.
- We don't know what's coming.
- Understood.
I'll see you on the other side.
Can I have a hand over here? Sure thing.
- (LYRIA GROANING) - Lyria! Hey, you okay? The Warlock Lord used me to get into Heaven's Well.
Where's Eretria? The palace.
She's gonna try to sabotage the dam.
You need to get back there.
Help Cogline stop her if you can.
(SIGHS) Be careful.
You too.
Guess this is it.
WIL: All right.
Can you feel it? Feel what? Destiny.
MARETH: Wil, we're too late! (GRUNTS) (GRUNTS) It has begun! No! (GROANS) (PANTING) My blood now runs through the Silver River.
(SIGHS) We're too late.
The Warlock Lord has infected the well.
If that water gets through the dam, it'll turn everyone in this valley and beyond into soulless slaves.
The battle's not over yet.
We have to keep that spillway secure for as long as we can.
I'll take you to the control room.
Eretria's already down there.
Eretria? Yeah.
She said you sent her.
She's become a pawn of the Warlock Lord.
We may already be too late.
This ends now.
You will fail.
Just like your father.
Wil is stronger than Shea and stronger than you.
And are you your father's daughter? A failure like him? I felt your pain.
Let me show you.
(WARLOCK LORD GROWLS) (ALLANON YELLS) (WIL AND MARETH SCREAMING) He was so weak.
(YELLS) I'm not afraid of you.
(GRUNTING) Eretria, open the door! (GRUNTS) Back away from the door.
JAX: Eretria! COGLINE: Quickly, close the dam.
The blood is already flowing into the Four Lands.
She broke the wheel.
Grandal! (GROANS) (GRUNTING) Come on, girl.
Don't make me have to put you down.
(GRUNTS) She's alive.
But we need to get that Wraith out of her now.
JAX: How do we know this won't kill her? I don't.
If we don't get this thing out of her, she'll die anyway.
This is an ancient Druid rite.
Blood magic, very dangerous.
(PANTING) Sit her up.
And when I pull the Wraith out, it will try and escape.
Don't let it.
(SPEAKING ANCIENT DRUID) (GASPS) (SCREAMS) Get ready! It's almost out.
(COGLINE SPEAKING ANCIENT DRUID) Fire it up.
Hit it! (GROWLING) (GASPS) COGLINE: Eretria, look at me Where am I? Eretria, come back to me.
You're safe.
(BREATHING HEAVILY) He's too powerful.
I have to use the sword.
It's the only way.
Darkness and light cannot exist together.
We need to get closer.
I'll give you an opening.
WARLOCK LORD: When darkness triumphs, light shall die, and you will both meet the same fate as your fathers.
Step forward, and show yourselves.
MARETH: Here I am.
Light always overcomes darkness.
(GRUNTS) - (SCREAMS) - (GRUNTS) (SCREAMS) (GASPS) SHEA: You must sink the blade straight through his heart.
Nothing can stop me.
(GRUNTS) Now you will learn like your father Go join him Shannara.
(WIL GASPING) (GROANING) ALLANON: You are the next Druid.
It is time.
I will always be with you.
(GASPS) (GRUNTS) Wil! (GROANS) (WARLOCK LORD BREATHING HEAVILY) (GASPING) (GROANS) (GROANING) (WIL PANTING) We did it.
We beat him.
We did.
You did.
(PANTING) (WIL GROANING) The Well, it's still poisoned.
I thought if we defeated him Mareth, look.
SHEA: Wil, You're a Shannara, the magic of your ancestors runs through your blood.
It can defeat the Warlock Lord and cleanse the world of evil.
What's happening? WIL: Shea said the magic in my blood could cleanse the world of evil.
I have to finish this.
(CLEARS THROAT) What are you doing? I can't heal myself and save the Four Lands.
I give you these Elfstones freely.
Use them to protect the people of the Four Lands.
You're going to be right there with me.
- Druid and Shannara, remember? - Listen to me.
The water is infected.
It's already spread.
But I can stop it.
I didn't understand before, but now I do.
My father was right.
There's gotta be another way.
The magic is in my blood.
It was inside me this whole time.
(SOBS) You just make sure our people are okay.
(SLOW MUSIC PLAYING) (BREATHES HEAVILY) (EXHALES IN RELIEF) - Look! - COGLINE: Wil and Mareth did it! The Warlock Lord is no more.
(CHUCKLES) Those guys just earned themselves a helluva hangover when they get back.
And I'm buying.
(CHUCKLES) SHONA: With this crown, we acknowledge a new Queen, Lyria of Leah.
May her reign be a long and peaceful one.
The battle for our kingdom may be won.
But now it is time to rebuild, not just our walls, but our hearts' resolve.
Our future wouldn't exist if it weren't for those that we mourn today.
Heroes like my mother, King Ander, the Druid Allanon and Wil Ohmsford.
They gave their lives.
And in return, it is our duty to heed the lesson that they offered, that good will always triumph over evil and that love conquers all.
Hear, hear! CROWD: Hear, hear! Long live the Queen! (ALL CHEERING) MAN: Long live the Queen! You sounded pretty wise up there.
That crown suits you.
I feel like a fraud, honestly.
I know.
I know you never wanted this, but the people need you.
They need your strength.
I used to think that I was better off on my own.
Turns out I was wrong.
About a lot of things.
I love you, Lyria.
And maybe someday we'll be together.
Just not yet.
This darkness inside me, it's still in there.
And I don't ever wanna hurt the people I care about again.
Especially you.
Go do what you gotta do and then come back to me.
Okay? (SIGHS) JAX: I'm sorry about Wil.
He was a good man.
MARETH: Thanks.
I know he would say the same about you.
It was an honor fighting alongside you, old timer.
Our kingdom owes you a great debt.
Our kingdom? I thought The Weapons Master was a one man show.
That was before I had people worth fighting for.
Besides, not all of us can be magical badasses.
I think you're gonna make a great general.
Come on, we're losing light.
Keep the Queen safe for me.
Count on it.
I'm sorry about what happened at the dam.
That wasn't you.
The Eretria I know is loyal to the end.
(ERETRIA SIGHS) See you around, General.
(SIGHS) (SOFT GUITAR MUSIC PLAYING) (SPEAKING ANCIENT DRUID) (SIGHS) He'd be proud of what you've accomplished.
Know that.
You honor him with your courage.
There's no one better to carry on his legacy.
That legacy belongs to you both now.
There is much to learn.
The question is, are you ready to continue your training? Then it's time to continue the Druid Order.
Mareth? What is it? For a second, I felt like, like Wil was here with us.
(SIGHS) Sometimes our fate chooses us instead.
Wil is still alive.
Somewhere.
(PANTING)
