The Wheel of Time (2021) s03e05 Episode Script

[Nynaeve] We're going
to Tanchico, tonight.
Ishamael was going to take away my
visions. And I chose you instead.
- Don't break like him.
- Mom?
[Lord Luc] Whitecloaks. They
arrested Natti Cauthon and her girls.
[Valda] Perrin Aybara
- murdered your father in cold blood.
- [growls]
- [grunts]
- [Alanna] I've lost a few Warders.
When one of three departs,
- who owns that grief?
- [crying]
[screaming]
[Egwene] I keep dreaming
about this woman who hurt me.
[Bair] Then this woman
in your dream is alive.
There's a way I could
escape my Dark Oaths.
- Cross me now, and I will never forget it.
- [Galina] What are you proposing?
[Elaida] That we call for a vote in the
Hall to find Rand al'Thor and cage him.
[Melaine] In the glass
columns, you will walk
the footsteps of
your blood ancestors.
[Lanfear] There's a sa'angreal
as strong as Callandor.
For women, the Sakarnen.
[Bair] In Rhuidean you
will find three rings.
Step through any
one and you'll see
your future laid before you
again and again in variation.
[Moiraine gasps]
[screaming]
[suspenseful music plays]
[breathing heavily]
[gasping]
[grunts]
[chuckles]
[breathes shakily]
[gasps]
[grunting]
[grunts, panting]
[whimpering]
[panting]
What is that, Moiraine?
[panting]
What did it feel like to you?
Euphoric.
[sighs]
But what else?
I don't know.
Like hunger or thirst
[exhales] but deeper.
What did you see in the rings?
[wind howling]
[Egwene] What did
the other chiefs say?
Will they declare
Rand as Car'a'carn?
We only speak to their
Wise Ones in the Dream.
They will try to bring their chiefs
to Alcair Dal to meet Rand al'Thor.
Some will react as the Shaido did,
when he returned from Rhuidean.
Does it surprise you that Sevanna
and Couladin rejected him?
He's not one of us.
No thanks to you.
I cannot teach someone
unwilling to learn.
"Cannot"?
Cannot.
You will meet Rand al'Thor
when he wakes each day
and not leave him until he
goes to his blankets at night.
[Melaine] This will be the
first step of your training
in what it means to be wise.
He is the Car'a'carn.
There's no fighting it.
[scouts hooting]
[clan chief] That's
Cold Rocks Hold.
The seat of the Taardad.
We will stay here until the other
chiefs have gathered at Alcair Dal.
[uplifting music plays]
[scouts hooting]
- [townspeople hooting, clamoring]
- [bags rattling]
I ask leave to enter
your hold, roofmistress.
You have my leave, clan chief.
Shade of my heart, you
always have my leave.
I give thanks,
roofmistress of my heart.
You've met my wife Bair.
Now, meet my wife Lian.
- [child] Greatfather!
- [Moiraine, Lian, clan chief laugh]
And my greatdaughter, Alsera.
Are you the Car'a'carn?
[chuckles]
[Alsera] Greatmother
says you are.
Whoa.
I am.
[gasps]
- [growls]
- [Alsera screams]
- [laughs]
- [Alsera screaming, laughing]
- [Rand] Hey!
- [children screaming, clamoring]
The time for watching him
is through, Egwene Sedai.
We're going to walk the Dream.
Will you join us?
[footsteps approaching]
[sniffs]
A heavy fragrance, your
powdered roses. [chuckles]
It enters the room
before you do.
I remember it from your
classes when I was a novice.
Hmm.
The most sacred chamber
in the most hallowed
institution in the world,
and you make it look
like a fisherwoman's hut.
It wasn't easy getting
a private audience.
I assume you want to discuss
more than my sense of style?
You assume your style doesn't
matter, but it does, Mother.
This Tower used to be a
shining beacon to the world.
And now?
How many queens and kings have
sat in these simple chairs?
Felt your rough carpets
beneath their feet?
Not everyone wants to be
sick with the smell of roses.
Where is Elayne?
Her brothers are missing her.
She's on a journey
of my choosing.
Well protected.
I've already let
Queen Morgase know.
Oh.
Your net is coming
apart, Mother.
Everyone sees it.
I'm calling for a
vote in the Hall.
To cage the Dragon Reborn, as
you should have done already.
Well,
let's see where the votes lie.
I presume you have a
better handle on it now
than the last time you went
against me in the Hall.
Where is Moiraine Sedai?
She's been exiled.
I'm sure she still writes you.
I remember when you were a novice,
fawning over her like a lovesick puppy.
That was a long time ago.
People don't change.
Mother, you have fooled many,
but I know what you are.
River trash.
Same as the day you walked into
this tower as a nine-year-old girl,
barefoot and filthy.
Is there anything else?
The Amyrlin's day is a full one.
No, Mother.
Thank you for your time.
[ominous music plays]
[door closes]
- Ready for you tea, sister?
- [groans]
Then maybe you could have a
nibble of something sweet.
[groans] Is it [blows]
- Hot?
- Mmm.
Oh, it's-it's just hot enough.
Or maybe some wine would
be more to your liking?
- [groans]
- [chuckles]
- [door opens]
- Hmm.
- Verin.
- Mother.
Uh, well, the, uh,
the numbers are clear.
The Black Ajah work in hearts.
Three sisters in each heart, each with
one separate contact in another heart.
This keeps any one sister from
being able to reveal them all.
Liandrin was able to
connect four hearts.
That would be 12 sisters.
Eleven attacked us that day.
So there's one still
here. At least.
I need to know if it's Elaida.
Liandrin left and Elaida
arrived within days.
That's one leader gone,
the next put in place.
Mother, there is nothing I would
like more than to discover the truth,
but we cannot mistake
suspicion for certainty.
If she breaks the Three
Oaths, that is proof.
Yes, and if she's not Black
Ajah, that is a long game.
Joiya and Amico.
If Elaida found out that her sisters
were being held in the 13th Depository
She might go and rescue them.
Or silence them.
Good. Lay the bait.
[Verin] Hmm.
Do it subtly.
Bring me the truth,
so I can take Elaida's head.
[Adeleas mumbling]
[people chattering]
[grunts]
You know, you could just wear
one of these Two Rivers sacks.
Another idea.
We could hop a boat.
We could go to one of
the cities on the coast.
You love that shop in Ebou Dar.
Ready to leave already?
I thought you had your
eye on that baker boy.
[Maksim] I did.
- Have you tried the bread?
- [bread thudding]
[chuckles]
- [horse whinnies]
- [people clamoring]
Whitecloak reinforcements
just entered the mountains.
You want the Cauthons?
We better go now.
[horse blusters]
[wind howling]
- [Rand] Mmm.
- [Melindhra chuckles]
[Aviendha] Wetlanders
do not share lovers?
Not usually.
[Aviendha] That is a lot
to ask of one person.
Perhaps too much.
Poor Egwene.
You know, you don't
have to talk to me.
At an Aiel meal, it is polite to
talk to people to either side of you.
Except for those of us who must instruct
instead of sharing the meal, of course.
You don't have to
instruct me either.
With your right hand.
[Alsera] Do you like the
squash, Rand al'Thor?
Yes.
I grew the squash, Rand al'Thor.
[Rand] Really?
It's perfect.
Motai?
It's delicious.
Not with the head.
It's gonna bite your
throat the whole way down.
- Delicious.
- [Melindhra chuckles]
Moiraine Sedai?
Would you like one?
I'm finished, thanks.
No, you stay. Stay.
I'm ready.
Then hear me, Egwene.
You must listen.
Remember, and do
as you are told.
Above all, you must not
enter Tel'aran'rhiod again.
Until Melaine or I says you may.
Can you accept this?
I can accept it.
Good.
Know this.
Anyone can touch Tel'aran'rhiod,
but very few can truly enter it.
It is not part of the One Power,
though Aes Sedai believe it is.
I cannot channel, yet I
dreamwalk as well as Bair.
We will enter the
Dream World now.
To do so is to take a risk.
Death in the Dream World
means death here, too.
[sighs]
I'm ready.
[Melaine] Lie down.
[clinks]
When the brass pin drops, you
will hear it in the Dream as well.
It will bring you back
if you lose yourself.
Close your eyes.
[sighs]
Are we
Yes. This is Tel'aran'rhiod.
[gasps]
[grunts]
[gasps]
It looks the same.
It is not the same.
There are things here that
could shatter your heart.
That could eat your heart.
[gasps] How did this
[Bair] You were afraid
so you wanted armor.
Uncontrolled thoughts are
troublesome in the Dream World.
Control them.
[inhales]
[chuckles]
[sighs]
When I fall asleep, I'm
I'm back in the
kennels in Falme.
That is your own dream.
Not Tel'aran'rhiod.
Aren't all dreams here?
No.
Sometimes ordinary people
stumble from their own dreams
into Tel'aran'rhiod
for a moment.
And wetlanders wonder why so
many people die in their sleep.
[inhales]
So the woman who's hunting me
she can enter my dreams too?
[Bair] You have power
over your own dreams.
If you want her out,
just believe she's out.
If you want to be somewhere else,
simply believe you are somewhere else.
It is as simple as that.
[exhales]
Bair?
Melaine?
Hello? I didn't mean to
[eerie music plays]
[gasps]
[gasps]
[creaks]
[child giggling]
- [giggling continues]
- [chuckles]
[child chuckles]
[Egwene] Bair?
[gasping]
[choking]
I'm so glad you're here.
[choking continues]
- [grunts]
- [pin drops]
[Egwene gasping]
- [panting]
- [Melaine] You were right.
She's being stalked by
one of the Shadowsouled.
You are lucky to be alive, girl.
How did you leave this
temple in the Dream?
Well, I
I believed I could.
She's too eager. She
takes too much too fast.
Who are the Shadowsouled?
[breathing heavily]
Wetlanders call
them the Forsaken.
I know you've sided with Siuan
often in the past, but
- The White Ajah sides with no one
- [door opens]
outside simple
reason and logic.
Often, logic has been
on Mother's side.
What if it were not?
What if I could show you that ever
since she first took the Seat,
she's been working to destroy
this Tower from within?
[clicks tongue] The
truth guides us.
Understood.
Alviarin Sedai, thank you.
Adeleas Sedai.
[Adeleas] Mm-mmm. Hmm.
Yes?
Hello.
[Adeleas sniffing]
[gasps] Roses.
Can I help you?
Where are you going?
- Verin Sedai said
- Away. Now.
Or I'll strip your hide with
my birch, Accepted or no.
[Adeleas] But
[breathes heavily]
We haven't seen you outside your
sister's watch since your injury.
How are you?
[door creaks]
Did she take the bait?
- [Leane] Thank you.
- [door opens]
[footsteps depart]
[door closes]
Can your sister really
do this in her state?
My sister can do anything.
Where has your sister gone
off to, do you imagine?
[shushes]
- Don't tell.
- Oh.
Don't tell.
[sniffing]
Do tell.
There is always something that
interests her clever mind.
[both chuckle]
I'm trying to find her,
but I don't know where
she keeps sneaking off to.
She needs me.
She
is,
uh
[stutters] Thirteen
- [stutters] "Depotro"
- Depository.
Yes. Yes.
[Adeleas breathing heavily]
- And what did she want us to look at?
- [gasps]
Black Ajah. Black
Ajah. [whimpers]
[Elaida] Mm-hmm.
[Elayne] So, Tanchico is spread
over three hills in Tanchico Bay.
[coughs, vomits]
[Elayne] Most of the rich
live on top of the hills.
[Mat] Oh, yeah.
That's fascinating.
But there isn't much stability
to the wealth in Tanchico,
- so thievery more common. And
- [Nynaeve] Enough.
None of that will help
us find the Black Ajah.
Liandrin will require
certain things,
- no matter what city she travels to.
- [Mat] Yeah.
I bet your idea of travel is being
carried around on a golden chair,
with children lining up
- to throw flowers at your feet.
- What's your plan then?
Hmm?
Drink yourself into a stupor and
ask for directions to the Black Ajah
- in the Old Tongue?
- [Nynaeve] Stop.
Stop, both of you.
Uh, we find Liandrin's family.
We know her name, maybe she
maybe she has relatives in the city.
We don't even know if Guirale
is even her real last name.
[vomits]
Oh, that's it. That is it.
No more. Right, we have been
down here for two weeks.
I am going up to the deck.
No, Mat! We can't.
We must stay in this room.
That was the only thing we
promised the Sailmistress
in exchange for
passage to Tanchico.
That's only because she didn't want
Nynaeve to throw herself overboard.
Is that an option?
We stay down here.
Deals with the Sea Folk
are not to be broken.
[Mat] Whatever you
say, Your Highness.
[birds chirping]
No. [chuckles]
That can't be right.
We're sailing past
Windbiter's Finger.
Oh. Another Geography
lesson. That's brilliant.
We have only been
traveling for 14 days.
I know Sea Folk rakers are fast, but
to travel this far is impossible.
- Maybe I saw it wrong. Maybe
- Exactly. Exactly.
So, let's get up on to the
deck and we'll figure it out.
- Cracking idea, Princess.
- [Elayne] No.
Mat, we promised the
Sailmistress we'd stay
[pants] Mat!
[sighs]
Just help me up
the stairs, please.
[triumphant music plays]
[Nynaeve whimpers]
[Mat] No. No!
[grunts, vomits]
- [Sailmistress] We had a deal, Aes Sedai.
- Sailmistress, I apologize, my
You are of the Mountains.
You plant your feet too firmly,
like you're rooted to the spot.
Relax.
Make your legs soft.
Let the boat move
while you stay still.
Better?
A little, yes.
Can we please stay up here?
I can't go back to that room.
You can stay on the
deck if you wish.
Sailor!
[sailor] There's a blast.
[Mat] Mother.
Oi, Min.
[floorboards creaking]
[Mat] Min. Is that you?
Blood and ashes.
- Aren't you supposed to stay in your room?
- I-I-I couldn't care.
I couldn't give a toss.
Just tell me this.
Have you got a room on here?
Can I stay with you
instead of them?
- [scoffs] No, no, no.
- Yeah!
It's all right. It's all right.
[Valda] The reinforcements
should be here tomorrow.
And ready to march on the
Two Rivers the day after.
- [child] He's coming.
- [Natti] It's all right.
[Valda] I'd like to get to the truth
about Perrin Aybara's whereabouts.
If you'd let me.
No.
[Cauthons murmur]
[Dain] Thirsty?
Don't worry. Nobody's
going to get hurt.
I want you to tell me what
you know about Perrin Aybara.
They say he's come back home.
[Eldrin] I promise, sir.
We haven't seen him.
I barely even remember him.
[sighing]
- [Natti gasps]
- [keys jangle]
[Dain sighs]
Well, I know where he'd go.
[stammers] If he came back.
Where?
- [keys jangle]
- [Natti gasps, whimpers]
Why did you do that?
- [grunts]
- [Natti shouts]
- No!
- [Dain shouts]
[Dain] Witch.
One of you is a witch!
[grunts] It was me.
[Natti panting]
[Bode] No, no, you don't have to
do this. Listen to me, please.
- [Cauthons clamoring]
- Out.
[whimpering] Please
don't! Please don't!
No, please don't. Stop!
[Natti panting]
- Let her go!
- [grunts]
This one's ready
for your questions.
[sobbing]
- [chuckles]
- [sobbing continues]
[whimpering]
[Valda] Mmm.
[foreboding music plays]
[Perrin] Natti and the
girls are in the camp.
Bain, Chiad and I will sneak in.
And me.
Uh, no. Not yet.
And me.
- [Chiad, Bain] And her.
- [chuckles]
[Alanna, Maksim chuckle]
[Perrin] Loial will stay
here and ready the horses.
I have been told stealth
is not my strongest suit.
[Alanna chuckles]
The moon is full tonight.
The sky is cloudless.
I'll create cover.
No. You'll stay right here.
To heal the girls if they
need it. That's what we said.
I'll create cover.
It's bloody
Whitecloaks up there.
Do you know what they'll do if they
even sniff a hint of channeling?
I'll create cover.
All right.
I said no, Alanna.
You don't make decisions for me.
We make decisions together.
We used to, at least.
[Alanna] It hasn't felt
like much of a "we" lately.
[Maksim] Really? You're
gonna say that to me?
The man who followed
you up turnip mountain
when you won't even
tell me why we're here?
We're here because
you're not enough!
The Last Battle is coming.
I swore when I took this ring,
that I'd be ready to win it.
And you know what I realized
when The Black Ajah attacked?
They're ready.
And we are not.
We don't win battles with
politics and prophecies.
We win battles with armies.
And if no one else is going
to build one, then I will.
An army of farmers?
The Dragon Reborn.
Nynaeve al'Meara.
Egwene al'Vere.
The two strongest
channelers we've ever seen.
The Hornblower.
They all come from this place.
The blood of
Manetheren flows here.
The blood of warriors.
I don't care about Amyrlins or
Dragons or the bloody Last Battle.
The only thing I've
ever cared about
is Ihvon.
And you.
That's what I fight for.
So if you want to throw your life away
like you threw away Ihvon's, do it.
But I won't stand
here and watch again.
I'm going to go do
something that matters.
Something we should have
done in the first place.
I'm going to go find Liandrin.
And I'm gonna kill her.
Maksim.
Come with me.
[whimpers, inhales sharply]
There.
I turned off the bond.
[sighs]
[people chattering]
I am ashamed that I never
knew Malkier myself.
What kind of king can't
remember his own people?
His own kingdom?
Al'Lan Mandragoran,
you were just a
baby when it fell.
The Borderlands were
an unforgiving place,
even before it was
overrun by the Blight.
But in that hardness,
our people created
such beauty
Festivals.
Poetry.
Dancing.
[chuckles] Those long
nights after the dancing.
What do you miss the most?
Laughter.
[sighs]
[Rand sighs]
Are you leaving?
We haven't had a moment
alone since Rhuidean.
Uh,
the Wise Ones want me
to sleep with them.
To keep working together.
Oh.
I can stay.
No, no, no. Go.
You're sure?
Mmm.
[both sigh]
[fire crackling]
[wind blowing]
[Lan sighs]
I saw it, Lan. I saw it.
I won't be at the Last Battle.
And everything that we've done
and everything that we've lost
[breathes shakily] it's all for
nothing because I won't be there.
How can you be so sure?
Because in every future
where I lived, Rand dies.
And the only way he lives
is if I don't.
Come here.
Okay.
[sighs]
[exhales] Say something.
Do you die tonight?
What?
Did you see it in the Rings?
That you must die tonight?
No, no.
Good.
Well, then you have tonight.
To sit with your old friend
and have a drink.
Oh, Lan.
Have you Have you tried
[sighs] this Aiel Oosquai?
[chuckles] I have not.
Well, you are in for a treat.
[swallows]
[coughs]
- [coughs, chuckles]
- [chuckles]
[laughs, coughs]
[swallows, exhales sharply]
[laughing]
[Moiraine] Another.
[chuckles]
[papers rustling, crinkling]
[Min breathing shakily]
[Mat shushing]
- Do you hear that?
- What?
- Nothing.
- [groans]
Nothing. No puking, and the
joyful absence of lectures
on the politics and culture and
the famous hills of Tanchico.
So, I can only assume
that you're following me
because you're obsessed with me.
Am I right?
Because the Amyrlin's
obsessed with me?
No one's obsessed with you.
Well, I mean, you say
that, and yet here you are.
[scoffs]
- Oh? Lookee here. What is this?
- Oh. Mat.
- She's an artiste, she's an artiste
- Mat. No. No, no.
- in hiding.
- No, Mat. Wait, wait.
Min, Min, Min.
- [Min sighs]
- [Mat] Min, what's this?
[shudders]
What is this?
[breathing shakily] My visions.
I was trying to remember the
details so that I could
stop it.
Right.
Right. Well, it's lucky for us
that your visions don't
really come true, do they?
Min, I didn't kill Rand, did I?
And I'm not gonna kill myself.
Well, probably not.
Unless I have to go
back to that cabin.
[scoffs] Please.
It's not much better here.
I share a wall with you three.
You best believe
these walls are thin.
[ominous music plays]
- Nynaeve, look.
- Hmm?
- Wake up. Look. Look what she's doing.
- Mmm.
[uplifting music plays]
This is why Aes Sedai are
not allowed to be on deck
when they travel
with the Sea Folk.
In the Tower they say your
channelers are so weak in the Power
they can never
become full sisters.
Best to continue believing
that when you disembark.
Why would you avoid
learning at the Tower?
There are many ways
to be a channeler.
Many ways to be a woman.
You can't touch the Source.
I can.
Sometimes.
- But I can't control it.
- Of course you can't.
Channeling is like the sea.
It can't be controlled.
It flows, whether you
want it to or not.
Are you one who doesn't
like to give up control?
[scoffs]
[Sailmistress] I can see
it, even in your feet.
One of you fights to
hold where you stand,
while one wants the sea to take her
off the path that's been chosen.
And one of you is
seasick and one is not.
I need you to promise me
you won't tell your Tower
about our Windfinders.
I promise.
We won't.
Good.
Now go pack your belongings.
We'll be in Tanchico soon.
[door opens]
Where have you been?
We thought you'd
fallen overboard.
- [grunts]
- Uh, I bumped into a friend.
This is Min.
Uh, Min, this is
Nynaeve and Elayne.
You were at the White
Tower. A servant.
- Yeah.
- She's the Amyrlin's spy, actually.
Not a very good one
if everyone knows.
Fal Dara. The bar.
You're the seer who told
Rand he was the Dragon.
I mean, she also told
me that I kill Rand,
so I guess in a way you're
not good at any of your jobs.
[Sailmistress] Land ahoy!
Okay. Let's go.
Like you think you're
coming with us.
I've been to Tanchico. Can
any of you say the same?
Besides, I want to help you.
I do.
I know you're looking
for the Black Ajah,
and I happen to have some personal
experience with Liandrin Sedai.
Don't we all.
[sighs]
Can we trust her, Mat?
Yes.
[shouting, clamoring]
[villager] Move it! Come
on. [grunts] That's it.
[Min] Don't speak loudly.
Especially you, Princess.
And don't flash
your money around.
And no eye contact with anyone.
[man screams]
[water splashes]
You too, Mat.
I'm not joking when I say
this place is dangerous.
All right. I'll be
on my best behavior.
[Min] Come on.
[footsteps echoing]
They're back.
Not them.
Surprised to see me, sisters?
Elaida Sedai.
Speak now.
And tell me the name of every
sister of the Black Ajah.
We will never betray our
oaths or our sisters!
No matter how many
times you ask.
I believe you.
[gasps, groans]
Tell me their names.
I only know one other.
[grunts]
Her name.
I told the Amyrlin I would
negotiate if I can
[grunts]
I am not like Siuan Sanche.
- [grunts, groans]
- This is not a negotiation.
You will not leave
this cell alive.
All you will feel is pain
until you tell me her name.
Her name is [grunts]
[grunting]
[breathing heavily]
[panting]
Someone sent a Gray Man to
silence Joiya and Amico.
There must still be a member
of the Black Ajah in the Tower.
[grunts, gasps]
[grunting, groans]
[panting]
You.
You led me here.
Perhaps I misjudged you, sister.
- [villagers clamoring]
- [animals braying]
[villagers shouting, clamoring]
[villager] All right.
Good. Come on, mate.
This way.
This fog.
What is it, sir?
That last witch was
just a plaything.
Want to learn how to catch a
woman with real power, Child Byar?
[breathing shakily]
- Perrin.
- Look. We don't have much time.
Be quiet and listen to our
instructions. We'll get you out of here.
Perrin, what's
happened to your eyes?
[shushes]
[Eldrin] Is Mat with you?
[Perrin] No. But he's safe.
- [keys jingling]
- [lock clicks]
- [sobs]
- No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
It's all right. They're friends.
Come on. Quickly.
Here. It's fine.
- Where's your mother?
- They took her that way.
Okay. Go with them. They'll keep
you safe. I'll get your mom.
[Perrin shudders]
[breathing shakily]
We need to go.
- Now.
- [Perrin breathing shakily]
[wood creaks]
Maksim?
- [crossbow fires]
- [grunts]
- [exclaims]
- [grunts]
[grunts]
- Fire!
- [grunts]
[grunts, gasps]
[breathing heavily]
[Dain] Two Rivers.
You came.
You did this.
- I thought you were a good man.
- I was!
Before you.
[suspenseful music plays]
Faile! [grunts, groans]
No! [grunts]
[breathing shakily]
[Faile] You need to
stand up now. Come on.
[straining, grunting]
- [exclaims, breathes shakily]
- [Whitecloak] She's mine.
Come on, lad. Move it. Now!
[groans]
[strains]
- [grunts]
- [gasping]
[grunts]
[breathing shakily]
How did you find me?
You turned the bond
back on five arrows ago.
[gasping, breathing sharply]
- [grunts]
- [Alanna groans]
- [groans, whimpers]
- I have you. I have you now.
[Alanna grunts]
[Lanfear] Thought I
might find you here.
You've never been here.
You have.
I see you come here a lot.
On this place I once thought that
I had no control over my life.
That other people's choices, the
pattern, has way more control than I do.
The pattern is woven, Rand.
Who do you think
weaves it if not us?
[sighs]
I saw you, in Rhuidean.
Before you released the Dark
One. Before you swore your oaths.
I'm not that person anymore.
You are.
And I see that woman in you.
I saw her when I first
met you back in Cairhien.
Is that who you want me to be?
- Some docile innkeeper?
- You weren't docile.
You were driven and brave.
You wanted the world
to be a better place.
You wanted people to
have more than they had.
I still want that.
And more.
[emotional music plays]
I want you, Rand.
I love you.
The dark parts and the light.
I've fallen in love with this piece
of you that wants to save the world.
And I've always loved the piece
that knows you have to break it.
[cloth flutters]
The Wise One said
you wanted to see me.
They're teaching
you about the Dream?
- They have.
- And can you do that?
Can you travel with me in
the Dream to meet someone?
[scoffs] I I don't
know. I-I might be able to.
[inhales shakily]
There's a message
I need to deliver.
It's It's dangerous
in Tel'aran'rhiod. What?
It's funny, don't you think?
You warning me about
the dangers of Dreams.
I remember years ago when
I did the same to you.
[dramatic music plays]
Is this something
you saw in Rhuidean?
Yes.
- And it's worth the risk?
- Oh, yes. Yes.
[Egwene sighs]
All right, then.
I'll try.
You're ready?
Yes.
[breathes deeply]
[whispering voices, indistinct]
This is Tel'aran'rhiod?
This is your dream.
It's safer here, I think.
I'm going to try and take you
straight to her dream from here.
Remember
the ding of the brass
pin will wake you.
Moiraine?
I've come to you this way
because I have no time.
Where are you?
- I've been through the Rings of Rhuidean.
- Rhuidean?
You're in the Aiel Waste?
I have seen a thousand
thousand futures.
And I know two
things to be true.
If the White Tower does not
bend the knee to Rand al'Thor
he will lose the Last Battle.
And that's that's it.
No. No, no. You
don't get to do that.
Not to me.
What would you have done, in
Cairhien, knowing what I knew?
What would you have done?
The same.
Worse, perhaps.
Then why do you punish me?
You think I don't punish myself?
We each had a job.
Mine was to find
the Dragon Reborn.
Yours was to prepare
the Tower to follow.
You cannot afford to fail again.
It should have been you.
It should have been
you in the Tower.
You're strong, clever, ruthless. You
wouldn't lose yourself to the Seat.
[Siuan sighs]
I make enemies too easily.
[emotional music plays]
I never would have won the
Seat in the first place.
[sighs]
[chuckles]
I wish
I wish we'd never gone to
Gitara's study that day.
What? Just stolen
a couple of horses
and galloped away to Tear
for a life on the river?
- Yes.
- [chuckles]
[emotional music plays]
No, we broke what we had, Siuan.
It can't be mended.
Not in this life.
Then I will find you
in the next life.
Again and again until
we get it right.
And I will wait for you.
Every time.
Every time.
I love you.
[optimistic music plays]
Nynaeve?
Nynaeve, are you here?
Can you hear me?
Now listen. What do you hear?
- [Elnore Jr.] The wind.
- [Nynaeve] And what else?
[triumphant music plays]
[Mat] stay here. [chuckles]
[laughs] Listen,
you are never sleeping
on the floor ever again.
[emotional music plays]
I'm proud of you.
[children chattering]
Uh, it's gorgeous, isn't it?
Yes. You know, Perrin made this.
It's proper Two Rivers work.
[metal clanging]
[emotional music plays]
[clanging continues]
[dog barking]
Hopper, stay down.
[chuckles]
[foreboding music plays]
[inhales sharply]
[gasps]
[screams]
