The Wheel of Time (2021) s03e08 Episode Script
He Who Comes with the Dawn
[Bair] "He will come from the west,
beyond the Spine of the World.
He will tie us together
- with bonds we cannot break"
- [screaming]
"And he will destroy us."
[Rhuarc] The Car'a'carn
will be marked twice.
[Couladin] This man is no Aiel.
[grunts]
[Melaine] To lead is to know
where you came from,
to understand the blood in your veins.
For dishonoring your ji, you have my toh.
[chuckling] I bring destruction.
You've been hiding from me.
This whole time,
you've been sleeping with a Forsaken.
[Lanfear] The other Chosen,
they couldn't care less
if Rand joins the Shadow
or breaks the Wheel.
They just want him dead.
[Elayne] If any of them
get the collar before we do,
- then Rand--
- [Nynaeve] No. We'll find it.
[Liandrin] We have one part of three.
Dig harder. Search further.
[Nyomi]
The collar is in the Panarch's palace.
- [grunts]
- Whoa, I know this look.
I don't want to know what shit
is headed my way.
[Mat] What is this?
[Elaida] I'm calling for a vote
to cage the Dragon Reborn.
Siuan Sanche will lose.
[Moiraine] We each had a job.
Yours was to prepare the Tower to follow.
And the only way Rand lives is if I don't.
[Elaida] Your net is coming apart, Mother.
[rumbling]
That was reckless, Elaida Sedai.
Too many of our sisters have entered
that doorway and never returned.
Yet here I am.
I had hoped you wouldn't be so foolish.
On this day, most of all.
But your Ajah's driven by logic,
and logic leaves little room for hope.
What did the Aelfinn promise you?
The Amyrlin Seat itself.
You cannot trust them.
Every gift the Finn give has a price.
Oh, come.
Alviarin, sister, the Hall is voting.
I trust I still have your favor?
I am the logical choice, after all.
[court members murmuring]
[door opens]
[chattering]
Sisters, this week we lost Marith Jaen,
Amyrlin Seat for only four years.
So, again,
we find ourselves in need of a Light
to guide us through these dark times.
The vote has come to two.
Siuan Sanche
and Elaida do Avriny a'Roihan.
Who stands for Siuan Sanche?
[blue sitters] Siuan Sanche.
[Verin] Siuan Sanche.
[Keeper] Eleven votes are required
to win the day.
With only four, I move to ask,
who stands for Elaida do Avriny a'Roihan?
Siuan Sanche.
[emotional music plays]
Siuan Sanche.
Siuan Sanche.
Siuan Sanche.
Siuan Sanche.
Siuan Sanche.
Siuan Sanche.
The vote is concluded.
Our sisters have spoken.
She who is raised to the Seat,
she who is no longer of one Ajah but all.
Siuan Sanche.
[uplifting music plays]
[sitters] You are raised
to the Amyrlin Seat.
In the glory of the Light,
that the White Tower may endure forever.
The Watcher of the Seals,
the Flame of Tar Valon,
the Amyrlin Seat.
- [knock on door]
- [inhales sharply]
[door opens]
- Mother.
- I've heard your concerns.
[sighs] You haven't listened.
You say that the Tower must declare
for Rand al'Thor,
that we'll lose the Last Battle
if we don't,
but you haven't told me, not once,
how you know this.
You are giving Elaida a wedge
to drive between you and our sisters.
When I appointed you my Keeper,
do you know why I chose you?
Because you weren't afraid of me.
You'd stand up and tell me
if I was doing something wrong.
Well, am I?
[Leane] The Tower declaring
for the Dragon Reborn
would be the most important act
in our history.
You cannot do it alone.
Put it to a vote.
Make our sisters believe in this
as you do.
Make me believe in this.
Please.
I'll think on what you've said.
[door closes]
[Galina] She's sent the letters already?
Without even consulting the Hall?
Her actions are not illegal
under Tower law.
The Amyrlin's communications
with world leaders
- are not subject to anyone's scrutiny.
- [scoffs] She has declared support
for the Dragon Reborn.
But he's not under Aes Sedai control.
Then what do you propose?
I imagine you've come to me for support.
Support you badly need.
I will need it. Today.
And this time,
the logical choice will benefit us both.
[sighs, clears throat] Rand.
[sighs]
But I still owe her toh.
She wanted me to harvest her garden.
The Wise Ones are waiting.
[breathing heavily]
It's a clever trick, tying off a shield.
You stupid bitch.
You really think you can hold
one of the Chosen?
I do. I am.
[breathing heavily]
I read you were
one of the greatest generals
in the Age of Legends.
I was a visionary.
A pioneer.
In my time, there were no armies.
Hadn't been for centuries.
I discovered the art of war again.
How did you get that scar?
[winces, pants]
Lews Therin Telamon.
Would no one heal it for you?
I don't want it healed.
I want him to see it when I kill him.
You're not gonna kill him.
You're gonna teach him.
Because if you don't,
I will bury you here.
To rot for another thousand years.
And by the time songs are written
about the Last Battle,
no one will remember who you are.
[groans]
[ominous music plays]
[Chesmal] Aw. [tuts]
[cat meows]
Put that ter'angreal down.
If it actually creates balefire
Neither of you found Ispan yet?
We assumed you killed her.
Just like you did Nyomi.
Nyomi died because she challenged me.
Now put that ter'angreal down.
[Moghedien] Mistress?
Where did you get that?
Uh, a man came by this morning to sell it.
Mistress once said
you should never bother yourself
with work your lessers could do for you,
so, uh, I paid him for it.
Did he say where he'd gotten it?
Oh, it wasn't my place to ask, Mistress.
I don't believe I've ever asked your name.
Mistress has been very busy.
Forget Ispan.
We're going to the Panarch's Palace now.
[groans] This is This is ridiculous.
Why Why is nothing a fork?
Wow. Wow. You do this to hurt me.
[Liandrin] Hurry up.
It's It's Liandrin.
She's wearing the bracelets.
Okay. Come on. Come on.
Let's go, Tanchico.
You follow her. I'll get the others.
[guard] Stop!
The Panarch Amathera
has not invited you to enter.
[guards grunting]
[Liandrin]
You see the collar he's wearing?
That's what we need.
[Lanfear] Did you get my little surprise?
Sammael will be a shit teacher,
but it's the best we've got.
This is an interesting choice.
[Rand] It's where the Sharom crashed.
After you set the Dark One free.
An accident, I know.
It was also the last moment
you were truly human.
So she told you.
I knew she would.
Rand, I was doing her a favor.
Making her stronger.
What happened to the woman you were?
A woman who wanted to find
a power for everyone to share?
To make this world a better place?
The only reason I swore my Oaths that day
was because the other option was death.
And you still want to kill the Dark One
to release them?
Of course I do.
Or do you want all that power
for yourself?
Why can't it be both?
Stop making it seem
like life is so simple,
like we're one thing or the other.
[sighs]
Do you know what you did
in your last life?
You made the whole world bow.
And the only one who wouldn't was me.
That's why you left me.
Because I wouldn't bow to you.
Lews Therin
he left you for the same reasons I am.
Because you're jealous
and petty and just cruel.
You You don't mean that.
[Rand] I finally,
finally see the real you.
You're a monster, Lanfear.
[Lanfear grunts]
[dramatic music plays]
You stupid, arrogant
[distorted] child!
[gasps]
Good work, Egwene.
She'll come for me now.
[light pulses]
- Where is she?
- She's waiting.
She's not that patient.
Don't assume
you're the only thing she wants.
If we underestimate her, we die.
Get Rhuarc. We leave for Alcair Dal now.
You.
I'm calling in
the debt you owe me, Melindhra.
I thought you didn't wanna
get wrapped up in this, old man?
Well, I have this thing
about watching kids die.
Try to stop it if I can.
Whatever happened to Elayne and I,
the woman who did it is a Forsaken.
She must be.
And if a Forsaken has that collar
and uses it to control Rand--
Hey, that is not gonna happen.
Whoever finds it, get out.
Don't wait for the rest of us.
[breathing heavily]
[breathes shakily]
[Moghedien] Long time no see, Sammael.
[gasps] She tied off a shield on you.
[grunts, panting]
I could remove it.
What do you want, Moghedien?
Get me out of here,
- and we can work together.
- Ah.
Take down the others one by one.
Hmm.
What I want is to figure out
how to kill another of the Chosen.
So, yes.
[giggles] You can help me.
[breathes shakily, groans]
- Shall we play?
- [groaning]
[screaming]
[Rhuarc] Traveling to Alcair Dal
without all the chiefs
is not the Aiel way.
[Rand] But we will not wait
for your chiefs.
As chief of the Taardad,
I will present you and stand for you.
- Will they follow?
- [sighs] I don't know.
I've never had a chief of chiefs.
Never had a wetlander go through Rhuidean.
These prove me. If they aren't enough,
then I'll tell them.
The chiefs and Wise Ones know
what I saw in Rhuidean.
- They saw it too.
- The people cannot face that truth,
that we follow the Way of the Leaf.
There's There's nothing
more dishonorable to the Aiel
than being an oath breaker.
You cannot tell them.
[Egwene] What happens if the clans
don't accept him as your Car'a'carn?
They must.
There is no choice
in what has already been seen.
It is the Aiel's duty to follow him,
but you are not Aiel, Egwene.
He has lain with a Shadowsouled
and promises a future
of destruction and madness.
Yours is a future you can choose.
Is he worthy of your strength?
Did you see it happen? In the Waste?
- Does Lanfear--
- Kill me here?
Sometimes. But other places too.
It's like you said, it could be today,
it could be tomorrow.
It could be a year from now.
I think it's today.
[dramatic music plays]
Alcair Dal.
[Rhuarc] 10,000 Taardad spears follow us.
Four other clans and their chiefs
are here already.
And the Shaido wait.
All of them.
The Taardad came
with more spears than we expected.
More honor to be gained
when we cut them down.
There is no honor
in shedding blood in Alcair Dal.
[Maiden] She's right.
Who are you, Maiden?
A long time since anyone accused me
of being a maiden.
[chuckles]
Leave.
Who are you?
Someone who wants the same thing you do.
Both of you.
To make sure that Rand al'Thor
is never declared Car'a'carn.
Hmm.
- [door opens]
- [Verin] Mother.
Eight Red sisters have just left the Tower
with no word as to why.
Eight. That's enough to gentle a man.
Take a group of our most trusted sisters
and stop them. Now.
Find Elaida. Bring her to me.
[gasps]
There must be a faster way.
Some method of reaching out
with the One Power to find the collar.
It's a kind of metal, so
- Delving. Perhaps.
- [sighs]
I've read that some channelers,
they can delve into the earth
and search for metal ore.
[chuckles]
- Are you laughing at me?
- I wouldn't dare.
I just
I remember when you were little,
you took apart every clock in the palace
to see how they worked.
[chuckles] Did I?
- How old?
- Barely high as my knee.
Oh, nearly three.
The queen was too proud to punish you.
She always was.
[Min grunts]
[shushes]
Wow.
Well, shit.
[sighs] So,
what does this collar look like?
Well, it's it's a collar, isn't it?
Very helpful.
Nynaeve said it doesn't look
like the one on the shackled man.
When it's not being worn,
it's just a big, silver ring.
[voices whispering]
[whispering continues]
What do we actually do
with this collar if we find it?
You [stammers] Well,
you break it or something. I don't
I don't have a clue, do I?
Yeah, but isn't it made of the One Power?
Brilliant.
[breathes shakily]
[Mat] Do you ever wonder
what the world would be like
if there was no One Power?
No weaves. No Aes Sedai.
No visions. No memories.
Now we're talking.
I'm sorry. I wish
I could remember you better.
When did you leave Caemlyn?
[Thom] You would've been about five.
So you left
just before Lord Gaebril arrived.
Who?
My mother's consort.
He's been by her side almost
as long as I can remember.
I kept an eye on the court over the years.
Trust me, I would know
if this Gaebril was a consort.
[Jeaine] Hard to keep track, really.
Morgase has always been a whore.
Run!
[groans]
[both panting]
[Thom] Go!
Oh. Well, this looks promising.
Oh, wait.
I've seen that arch before.
Mat, wait!
[creature growling]
[Min] Mat, wait.
[panting]
[groans]
- [roars]
- [screams]
- [breathing shakily]
- [breathing heavily]
[Mat grunts]
A very long time. [panting]
[gasps]
[gulps, grunts]
[breathing shakily] Where am I?
[in Old Tongue] By the ancient treaty,
here is agreement made.
[in English] What is your need?
[breathing heavily]
[whispers] Mat.
- Huh?
- [door opens]
- [whispers] Mat.
- I hear
- [gasping]
- your little feet.
Tiny bones break the nicest.
[exhales sharply]
[breathing heavily]
Ter'angreal.
[breathing shakily]
- [gasps, exhales sharply]
- [disembodied growling]
[gasps, whispering] No.
[breathing heavily, whimpering]
[trinkets tinkling]
- [footsteps approaching]
- [gasps softly]
[Liandrin whispering]
I thought I felt it. Come on.
[sighs]
- [gasps softly]
- [drawers open]
[whispering] Come on, come on.
[inhales deeply]
[groans]
Ugh! [breathing shakily]
[grunts] Goddamn!
[whispering] Come on.
[panting]
[indistinct chattering outside]
[panting, groaning]
[whispering] I can Hold still.
- I can heal that.
- No. If you channel, she'll see it.
I'll distract her. You run.
You get out of the palace.
- I will not let you die for me.
- I made a promise to your mother
a long time ago.
That I'd keep you safe.
Who are you, Thom Merrilin?
After this, you go back to Andor.
[breathing heavily] This Lord Gaebril
Trust me, he doesn't exist.
What?
II grew up with him. I remember him.
Whatever you remember,
he put in your head.
Only a Forsaken could do that.
Your mother is in danger
and so is your throne.
You run.
Run now.
Go.
[breathing shakily]
Hey!
[chuckles]
This makes balefire.
I could be one of the Chosen
with a weapon like this.
Not if I kill you first.
Let's find out
what balefire does to people, yes?
[gasps] No, Elayne!
Let's.
[screaming]
[sighs]
Do you carry iron, instruments of music
or devices for making Light?
What is that smell?
- Do you carry them?
- No!
No, I don't have any of those things.
Where am I?
What is your need, Matrim Cauthon?
H-H-How do you know my name?
Speak.
You have but three.
What are you?
[laughs]
I am Eelfinn.
Speak of your need.
Eelfinn, what I need is
to stop getting bollocked about
by every bloody magical force
on this bloody planet!
- I'm sick of this One Power--
- Done.
There are memories racing through
your mind. They are not yours.
We can take them.
You can fix me?
[chuckles] Done.
Speak your last need.
No, what have you done?
What have you just done?
[breathing heavily]
I know that smell.
The fox den up by the Old Wisdom's house.
It's always full up of
of dead things.
My last need is
I need to get the fuck out of here!
Now!
[growls] Done.
Wise to ask leave taking.
Unwise to set no price, no terms.
- We will set the price.
- [stammers] The price?
What was asked will be given.
The price will be paid.
- [stammers] What price?
- [roaring]
[choking] Min!
Min!
Min!
[grunts]
[breathing shakily] Mat. Mat, you okay?
Mat.
Come on, Mat!
No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Mat, breathe!
[breathing shakily] Come on!
Come on, Mat! Please!
Please! [sobbing]
[blows air] Come on, Mat.
Come on. Come on.
[grunts, inhales sharply] Come on!
Come on, please! Come on! [sobbing]
[grunting]
- Come on! [panting]
- [inhales deeply]
- [coughing]
- That's it. That's it. That's it.
That's it, that's it,
that's it, that's it.
- [chuckling]
- [coughing, gasping]
If you wanted to kiss me,
- there are easier ways.
- [chuckling] Shut up.
[both chuckle]
Where am I?
[grunts]
[chuckles] What are you talking about?
- [chuckling] You know what?
- [sniffs, chuckles]
The screams are gone,
but
I can't r-remember h-how we got here.
[panting] There are things
I can't [stammers] remember.
- Mat. Mat, what's happening?
- [breathing shakily]
- I-I don't know.
- Mat, what's happening?
- [Mat] I don't know.
- Come on.
Come on. Come on.
You should've left.
- Give it to me.
- [exhales shakily]
I found out what happened to you here.
- When you were just a girl.
- No, don't feel sorry for me, Nynaeve.
As the old saying goes,
adversity breeds strength.
Isn't that what happened to you?
Watching your parents die?
Joiya Byir of the Black Ajah told me that
no woman can walk so long in the Shadow
- that she can't see the Light again.
- [chuckles]
God, you're actually trying to turn me.
You think
I don't wanna be exactly what I am?
No, I-I don't.
The only thing I regret about my life here
is I didn't let that old monster drown
my baby boy that first night.
- He made me weak.
- That's not true.
But look at me now.
[grunting]
Look at me now, Nynaeve.
[grunting]
I'm going to collar the Dragon Reborn.
I'm going to be
the first Forsaken of a new age.
And I'm going to kill the
strongest channeler in a thousand years.
[breathing shakily]
[groans]
[screams]
[straining]
[straining]
[Elnore Jr.] Mummy?
Mummy? [sobs] I'm scared.
[straining continues]
[Nynaeve] What do you hear?
[Elnore Jr.] I'm scared.
[Nynaeve] I know, but I need you
to trust me. Do you trust Mummy?
Close your eyes.
I'm here.
Everything's gonna be all right.
[uplifting music plays]
[panting]
[chuckling, breathing shakily]
Melindhra, you knew I'd hear you coming.
Why?
I swore my Dark Oaths for Malkier.
So the Golden Crane would fly again.
But they led me here.
And to fulfill them
would destroy Malkier forever.
You are Malkier.
You are the Golden Crane,
al'Lan Mandragoran.
Lanfear's here,
and she means to kill Rand.
If you break your Dark Oaths,
your soul will die with you.
- Never to be reborn.
- She will think that you're dead
- and you can use that against her.
- You cannot do this.
[grunting]
Melindhra.
[groaning]
Death is lighter than a feather.
Duty heavier than a mountain.
[grunts]
- No.
- [squeaks]
- [grunting]
- [Melindhra shouts]
[sighs, sniffles]
[Moirane] You were right.
To come here.
This is a nation of warriors.
This is an army
that can take the Stone of Tear.
Even the Forsaken will fall
against a hundred thousand spears.
They're not mine yet.
They will be.
I'm sorry I didn't know sooner
that this was the right thing to do.
It was you, wasn't it?
With Lanfear?
The Forsaken attack in Tar Valon.
The mirrors, the axe,
the cards, everything.
It was.
To separate me from the others
so you could control me.
- Yes.
- And you knew, didn't you?
What Lanfear was doing to Egwene
- in her dreams.
- I suspected.
Mmm.
I hoped it would drive you two apart.
Me and Egwene? Or me and Lanfear?
- Both.
- It worked.
I know.
The funny thing is
it's been a while
since we left the Two Rivers.
All this time the only person who's always
been there, who's never left me, is you.
And it's not because you want to use me,
it's because you want me to succeed.
The only thing that matters to you
is that I win the Last Battle.
No, don't confuse yourself, Rand.
I've been the knife at your throat
since this began.
I have been ready to kill you if you chose
the Dark or if you lost your mind.
I don't want you to get to the Last Battle
unless I know you can win it
for the Light.
[chuckles]
Exactly.
You want what I want.
You are the only one who does.
Thank you.
I'm here because of you.
I see that now.
I won't be here forever.
I know. And I won't either,
but I want you to stand at my side
until then.
No.
Today you bring the Aiel
under your control. Alone.
No Aes Sedai strings at your back.
What will you do?
I'm going to protect you from Lanfear.
Or die trying.
Just that?
[chuckles]
Good luck, Rand al'Thor.
You too.
[horses whinnying]
[Verin] Galina Sedai!
You've been ordered back to the Tower.
- By who?
- By the Amyrlin Seat herself.
Siuan can't stop us from doing our duty.
[chuckles] And what duty is that, Sister?
To keep you out of the Tower.
Elaida's inside,
but I've been barred entry into the hall.
This is my hall.
Open these doors.
Now!
What in the Light's name is going on?
Siuan Sanche.
This hall convened not an hour ago, with
eleven Sitters, enough to meet Tower Law,
and by unanimous vote, as required,
deposed you.
[breathes shakily]
You cannot.
I can, and I have.
Furthermore, you have been accused
of being a Darkfriend.
- [breathing shakily]
- Working in concert with the Shadow
to hide the Dragon's existence
from this Tower
and thwart our ability to control him.
For these crimes, you will be stilled.
[grunts, breathing shakily]
[inhales sharply] Over my dead body.
[grunts]
[screaming]
[sighs]
[grunts]
[groaning]
[panting]
[groans]
[screaming]
[ominous music plays]
[grunts, exhales deeply]
[exhales sharply]
No!
Take her.
I have questions.
[Leane sobbing]
No!
- [Mogehedien humming]
- [gasps]
Moghedien?
- How did you know, Mistress?
- [gasps]
If I want to be one of the Chosen,
I need to know my competition.
[chuckles]
[blows raspberry]
What makes you think you can be one of us?
You're the weakest one of them.
So, you can either be Nae'blis alone,
or or find new Chosen, weaker than you.
Like me.
I've been thinking what it would be like
to kill you for such a long time.
[inhales sharply]
[exhales shakily]
[breathing heavily]
It takes two women
to control a man with this a'dam.
So let me work with you
to collar the Dragon.
[whispering] Let me prove myself to you.
I don't work well with others.
[whispering] Neither do I.
I told you
she'd come for the weakest first.
Well [sighs]
At least she left enough of him
to recognize.
You'll be next.
[chuckles]
You didn't think your special alliance
would protect you from Moghedien.
You've always played on all sides, Rahvin.
It's time for you to pick the winning one.
You could stop
any of the Chosen with Callandor.
Oh.
Did your little Dragon reject you again?
You rejected my help once
and look where that got you.
This is the last time I offer.
I'm tired
of us going after each other, Lanfear.
We do need to be united, so be honest,
are you actually ready
to kill the Dragon Reborn?
I'm ready.
[Sevanna] Chiefs of the Aiel,
did not the Dreamwalkers tell you that
the Car'a'carn had emerged from Rhuidean?
That he would stand before you here,
at Alcair Dal, and declare himself?
I am He Who Comes With The Dawn!
- I am the Car'a'carn!
- [Aiel cheering]
[cheering]
[Couladin] According to prophecy,
I will bring new days.
We will cross the Dragonwall again
and take back what was ours!
[cheering]
[cheering dies down]
[Couladin] Wetlander.
I'll kill you for standing on
our sacred ground.
A wetlander, mmm, yes.
What does the prophecy of Rhuidean say?
"Born of the blood."
My father was Janduin,
of the Iron Mountain sept,
clan chief of the Taardad.
But raised by those not of the blood.
Where did your Wise Ones send you
to look for the Car'a'carn?
To the wetlands where I was raised.
They sent you to find me!
[whispering]
I am your Car'a'carn.
I am your Car'a'carn.
- [warrior 1] No way!
- [warrior 2] Liar!
[Aiel clamoring]
[sniffling, crying]
[metallic clanging]
[Alviarin] She comes. She comes.
The Watcher of the Seals.
Flame of Tar Valon.
The Amyrlin Seat.
[Siuan breathes heavily, grunts]
[Elaida] Siuan Sanche.
You have been brought before this Hall to
answer for you crimes against our Tower.
For 20 years, you have worked in secret
with Moiraine Sedai.
I believe she is with
the Dragon Reborn now.
And you know where they are.
After so many years of lies,
will you finally just tell us the truth?
[inhales sharply]
The truth.
That is all we ask.
The truth is
[breathes shakily]
[Siuan] I love Moiraine.
I have always and will always love her.
[screams, groans]
[grunts]
I would die to protect her.
He came with an Aes Sedai
leading him on a leash.
She gave him these marks.
These lies on his arms.
I went to Rhuidean too.
What did you see there, Couladin?
- [softly] No.
- [Couladin] All know Rhuidean is not
to be spoken of.
What I saw was holy.
I am holy!
Twenty years ago,
Gitara Sedai had a Foretelling.
Moiraine and I were there.
[Siuan] She saw
that the Dragon was born again.
I'm not afraid to speak, Couladin.
Are you?
It's time for you
to hear the truth of the Aiel.
I saw the history of the Aiel
through my ancestors' eyes!
[sighs, grunting]
[grunts]
[exhales deeply, choking]
I saw the Age of Legends.
I saw
when the Aiel were called the Da'shain!
When you followed the Way of the Leaf!
- [Aiel murmuring]
- [warrior] He's alive!
You knew.
[Rhuarc] Rand, please!
Our people cannot face this truth.
You will destroy them.
This is what I was born to do.
- [warrior 1] Traitor!
- [Aiel clamoring]
You must all face who you are!
- [warrior 1] No! Liar!
- [warrior 2] No!
- [Aiel clamoring]
- Oath breakers!
[straining]
- [exclaims]
- [grunts]
[Couladin] Do not listen
to this wetlander!
We have always been warriors.
I am your chief of chiefs.
Follow me across the Dragonwall!
[clamoring continues]
Turn your backs on me and you will die!
[choking]
[bones break]
[grunts]
[panting, chuckles]
[Siuan] The world is changing.
We cannot stand behind these walls
and pretend we still have control.
The only thing we have control over
is what we do.
So what will you do?
[breathes heavily]
[screams]
Will you stand behind this woman
who stands for nothing?
Who loves nothing but power.
- [shouts, grunts]
- [grunts]
[panting]
[shouts]
[grunts]
- [grunts]
- [groans]
- [groans, panting]
- [panting]
I shall spill out the blood
of those who call themselves Aiel
as water on sand,
and break you as dried twigs.
Yet the remnant of a remnant
the Car'a'carn shall save,
and they shall live.
I am your Car'a'carn.
[dramatic music plays]
[grunting]
- [grunts]
- [grunts]
[grunts, groans]
[sighs]
It's not the Tower
[stammers] or the Seat
that makes us who we are.
It is us.
Us.
[Moiraine screams]
[grunts]
We are the power.
The light shines through us!
That is the truth!
[exhales sharply]
[groans]
[groaning]
[panting]
I am Aes Sedai.
I have sworn on the Oath that
my sisters have sworn on for 3,000 years.
So, you hear my words
and know that they are true.
[Siuan] If you stay here, you will burn
with this Tower that you claim to love.
But I will never burn
because I am Siuan Sanche.
Daughter of the river.
Water itself.
And I defy you!
I defy you, Elaida!
[groans]
[coughs]
- [Alviarin] The vote was already done.
- [panting]
You were sentenced, Siuan Sanche,
to death.
[emotional music plays]
[groans]
[breathes shakily]
Siuan! [sobs]
- [sobbing]
- Here you are, about to die,
and you're thinking about the woman
who betrayed you.
- [sobbing continues]
- [chuckling] And they call me insane.
[grunting]
[screaming]
[groans]
[groans]
[grunts]
[groans]
[Moiraine grunts]
[grunts]
[panting, sobbing]
[thunder rumbling]
[emotional music plays]
[sobbing]
She's She's dead. She's dead.
Rand al'Thor is the Car'a'carn!
[Moiraine] For the land is one
with the Dragon Reborn,
and he is one with the land.
Soul of fire, heart of stone.
In pride, he conquers,
forcing the proud to yield.
He calls upon the mountains to kneel,
and the seas to give way,
and the very skies to bow.
Pray that the heart of stone
remembers tears
and the soul of fire, love.
[panting]
Rand!
Let go, please!
beyond the Spine of the World.
He will tie us together
- with bonds we cannot break"
- [screaming]
"And he will destroy us."
[Rhuarc] The Car'a'carn
will be marked twice.
[Couladin] This man is no Aiel.
[grunts]
[Melaine] To lead is to know
where you came from,
to understand the blood in your veins.
For dishonoring your ji, you have my toh.
[chuckling] I bring destruction.
You've been hiding from me.
This whole time,
you've been sleeping with a Forsaken.
[Lanfear] The other Chosen,
they couldn't care less
if Rand joins the Shadow
or breaks the Wheel.
They just want him dead.
[Elayne] If any of them
get the collar before we do,
- then Rand--
- [Nynaeve] No. We'll find it.
[Liandrin] We have one part of three.
Dig harder. Search further.
[Nyomi]
The collar is in the Panarch's palace.
- [grunts]
- Whoa, I know this look.
I don't want to know what shit
is headed my way.
[Mat] What is this?
[Elaida] I'm calling for a vote
to cage the Dragon Reborn.
Siuan Sanche will lose.
[Moiraine] We each had a job.
Yours was to prepare the Tower to follow.
And the only way Rand lives is if I don't.
[Elaida] Your net is coming apart, Mother.
[rumbling]
That was reckless, Elaida Sedai.
Too many of our sisters have entered
that doorway and never returned.
Yet here I am.
I had hoped you wouldn't be so foolish.
On this day, most of all.
But your Ajah's driven by logic,
and logic leaves little room for hope.
What did the Aelfinn promise you?
The Amyrlin Seat itself.
You cannot trust them.
Every gift the Finn give has a price.
Oh, come.
Alviarin, sister, the Hall is voting.
I trust I still have your favor?
I am the logical choice, after all.
[court members murmuring]
[door opens]
[chattering]
Sisters, this week we lost Marith Jaen,
Amyrlin Seat for only four years.
So, again,
we find ourselves in need of a Light
to guide us through these dark times.
The vote has come to two.
Siuan Sanche
and Elaida do Avriny a'Roihan.
Who stands for Siuan Sanche?
[blue sitters] Siuan Sanche.
[Verin] Siuan Sanche.
[Keeper] Eleven votes are required
to win the day.
With only four, I move to ask,
who stands for Elaida do Avriny a'Roihan?
Siuan Sanche.
[emotional music plays]
Siuan Sanche.
Siuan Sanche.
Siuan Sanche.
Siuan Sanche.
Siuan Sanche.
Siuan Sanche.
The vote is concluded.
Our sisters have spoken.
She who is raised to the Seat,
she who is no longer of one Ajah but all.
Siuan Sanche.
[uplifting music plays]
[sitters] You are raised
to the Amyrlin Seat.
In the glory of the Light,
that the White Tower may endure forever.
The Watcher of the Seals,
the Flame of Tar Valon,
the Amyrlin Seat.
- [knock on door]
- [inhales sharply]
[door opens]
- Mother.
- I've heard your concerns.
[sighs] You haven't listened.
You say that the Tower must declare
for Rand al'Thor,
that we'll lose the Last Battle
if we don't,
but you haven't told me, not once,
how you know this.
You are giving Elaida a wedge
to drive between you and our sisters.
When I appointed you my Keeper,
do you know why I chose you?
Because you weren't afraid of me.
You'd stand up and tell me
if I was doing something wrong.
Well, am I?
[Leane] The Tower declaring
for the Dragon Reborn
would be the most important act
in our history.
You cannot do it alone.
Put it to a vote.
Make our sisters believe in this
as you do.
Make me believe in this.
Please.
I'll think on what you've said.
[door closes]
[Galina] She's sent the letters already?
Without even consulting the Hall?
Her actions are not illegal
under Tower law.
The Amyrlin's communications
with world leaders
- are not subject to anyone's scrutiny.
- [scoffs] She has declared support
for the Dragon Reborn.
But he's not under Aes Sedai control.
Then what do you propose?
I imagine you've come to me for support.
Support you badly need.
I will need it. Today.
And this time,
the logical choice will benefit us both.
[sighs, clears throat] Rand.
[sighs]
But I still owe her toh.
She wanted me to harvest her garden.
The Wise Ones are waiting.
[breathing heavily]
It's a clever trick, tying off a shield.
You stupid bitch.
You really think you can hold
one of the Chosen?
I do. I am.
[breathing heavily]
I read you were
one of the greatest generals
in the Age of Legends.
I was a visionary.
A pioneer.
In my time, there were no armies.
Hadn't been for centuries.
I discovered the art of war again.
How did you get that scar?
[winces, pants]
Lews Therin Telamon.
Would no one heal it for you?
I don't want it healed.
I want him to see it when I kill him.
You're not gonna kill him.
You're gonna teach him.
Because if you don't,
I will bury you here.
To rot for another thousand years.
And by the time songs are written
about the Last Battle,
no one will remember who you are.
[groans]
[ominous music plays]
[Chesmal] Aw. [tuts]
[cat meows]
Put that ter'angreal down.
If it actually creates balefire
Neither of you found Ispan yet?
We assumed you killed her.
Just like you did Nyomi.
Nyomi died because she challenged me.
Now put that ter'angreal down.
[Moghedien] Mistress?
Where did you get that?
Uh, a man came by this morning to sell it.
Mistress once said
you should never bother yourself
with work your lessers could do for you,
so, uh, I paid him for it.
Did he say where he'd gotten it?
Oh, it wasn't my place to ask, Mistress.
I don't believe I've ever asked your name.
Mistress has been very busy.
Forget Ispan.
We're going to the Panarch's Palace now.
[groans] This is This is ridiculous.
Why Why is nothing a fork?
Wow. Wow. You do this to hurt me.
[Liandrin] Hurry up.
It's It's Liandrin.
She's wearing the bracelets.
Okay. Come on. Come on.
Let's go, Tanchico.
You follow her. I'll get the others.
[guard] Stop!
The Panarch Amathera
has not invited you to enter.
[guards grunting]
[Liandrin]
You see the collar he's wearing?
That's what we need.
[Lanfear] Did you get my little surprise?
Sammael will be a shit teacher,
but it's the best we've got.
This is an interesting choice.
[Rand] It's where the Sharom crashed.
After you set the Dark One free.
An accident, I know.
It was also the last moment
you were truly human.
So she told you.
I knew she would.
Rand, I was doing her a favor.
Making her stronger.
What happened to the woman you were?
A woman who wanted to find
a power for everyone to share?
To make this world a better place?
The only reason I swore my Oaths that day
was because the other option was death.
And you still want to kill the Dark One
to release them?
Of course I do.
Or do you want all that power
for yourself?
Why can't it be both?
Stop making it seem
like life is so simple,
like we're one thing or the other.
[sighs]
Do you know what you did
in your last life?
You made the whole world bow.
And the only one who wouldn't was me.
That's why you left me.
Because I wouldn't bow to you.
Lews Therin
he left you for the same reasons I am.
Because you're jealous
and petty and just cruel.
You You don't mean that.
[Rand] I finally,
finally see the real you.
You're a monster, Lanfear.
[Lanfear grunts]
[dramatic music plays]
You stupid, arrogant
[distorted] child!
[gasps]
Good work, Egwene.
She'll come for me now.
[light pulses]
- Where is she?
- She's waiting.
She's not that patient.
Don't assume
you're the only thing she wants.
If we underestimate her, we die.
Get Rhuarc. We leave for Alcair Dal now.
You.
I'm calling in
the debt you owe me, Melindhra.
I thought you didn't wanna
get wrapped up in this, old man?
Well, I have this thing
about watching kids die.
Try to stop it if I can.
Whatever happened to Elayne and I,
the woman who did it is a Forsaken.
She must be.
And if a Forsaken has that collar
and uses it to control Rand--
Hey, that is not gonna happen.
Whoever finds it, get out.
Don't wait for the rest of us.
[breathing heavily]
[breathes shakily]
[Moghedien] Long time no see, Sammael.
[gasps] She tied off a shield on you.
[grunts, panting]
I could remove it.
What do you want, Moghedien?
Get me out of here,
- and we can work together.
- Ah.
Take down the others one by one.
Hmm.
What I want is to figure out
how to kill another of the Chosen.
So, yes.
[giggles] You can help me.
[breathes shakily, groans]
- Shall we play?
- [groaning]
[screaming]
[Rhuarc] Traveling to Alcair Dal
without all the chiefs
is not the Aiel way.
[Rand] But we will not wait
for your chiefs.
As chief of the Taardad,
I will present you and stand for you.
- Will they follow?
- [sighs] I don't know.
I've never had a chief of chiefs.
Never had a wetlander go through Rhuidean.
These prove me. If they aren't enough,
then I'll tell them.
The chiefs and Wise Ones know
what I saw in Rhuidean.
- They saw it too.
- The people cannot face that truth,
that we follow the Way of the Leaf.
There's There's nothing
more dishonorable to the Aiel
than being an oath breaker.
You cannot tell them.
[Egwene] What happens if the clans
don't accept him as your Car'a'carn?
They must.
There is no choice
in what has already been seen.
It is the Aiel's duty to follow him,
but you are not Aiel, Egwene.
He has lain with a Shadowsouled
and promises a future
of destruction and madness.
Yours is a future you can choose.
Is he worthy of your strength?
Did you see it happen? In the Waste?
- Does Lanfear--
- Kill me here?
Sometimes. But other places too.
It's like you said, it could be today,
it could be tomorrow.
It could be a year from now.
I think it's today.
[dramatic music plays]
Alcair Dal.
[Rhuarc] 10,000 Taardad spears follow us.
Four other clans and their chiefs
are here already.
And the Shaido wait.
All of them.
The Taardad came
with more spears than we expected.
More honor to be gained
when we cut them down.
There is no honor
in shedding blood in Alcair Dal.
[Maiden] She's right.
Who are you, Maiden?
A long time since anyone accused me
of being a maiden.
[chuckles]
Leave.
Who are you?
Someone who wants the same thing you do.
Both of you.
To make sure that Rand al'Thor
is never declared Car'a'carn.
Hmm.
- [door opens]
- [Verin] Mother.
Eight Red sisters have just left the Tower
with no word as to why.
Eight. That's enough to gentle a man.
Take a group of our most trusted sisters
and stop them. Now.
Find Elaida. Bring her to me.
[gasps]
There must be a faster way.
Some method of reaching out
with the One Power to find the collar.
It's a kind of metal, so
- Delving. Perhaps.
- [sighs]
I've read that some channelers,
they can delve into the earth
and search for metal ore.
[chuckles]
- Are you laughing at me?
- I wouldn't dare.
I just
I remember when you were little,
you took apart every clock in the palace
to see how they worked.
[chuckles] Did I?
- How old?
- Barely high as my knee.
Oh, nearly three.
The queen was too proud to punish you.
She always was.
[Min grunts]
[shushes]
Wow.
Well, shit.
[sighs] So,
what does this collar look like?
Well, it's it's a collar, isn't it?
Very helpful.
Nynaeve said it doesn't look
like the one on the shackled man.
When it's not being worn,
it's just a big, silver ring.
[voices whispering]
[whispering continues]
What do we actually do
with this collar if we find it?
You [stammers] Well,
you break it or something. I don't
I don't have a clue, do I?
Yeah, but isn't it made of the One Power?
Brilliant.
[breathes shakily]
[Mat] Do you ever wonder
what the world would be like
if there was no One Power?
No weaves. No Aes Sedai.
No visions. No memories.
Now we're talking.
I'm sorry. I wish
I could remember you better.
When did you leave Caemlyn?
[Thom] You would've been about five.
So you left
just before Lord Gaebril arrived.
Who?
My mother's consort.
He's been by her side almost
as long as I can remember.
I kept an eye on the court over the years.
Trust me, I would know
if this Gaebril was a consort.
[Jeaine] Hard to keep track, really.
Morgase has always been a whore.
Run!
[groans]
[both panting]
[Thom] Go!
Oh. Well, this looks promising.
Oh, wait.
I've seen that arch before.
Mat, wait!
[creature growling]
[Min] Mat, wait.
[panting]
[groans]
- [roars]
- [screams]
- [breathing shakily]
- [breathing heavily]
[Mat grunts]
A very long time. [panting]
[gasps]
[gulps, grunts]
[breathing shakily] Where am I?
[in Old Tongue] By the ancient treaty,
here is agreement made.
[in English] What is your need?
[breathing heavily]
[whispers] Mat.
- Huh?
- [door opens]
- [whispers] Mat.
- I hear
- [gasping]
- your little feet.
Tiny bones break the nicest.
[exhales sharply]
[breathing heavily]
Ter'angreal.
[breathing shakily]
- [gasps, exhales sharply]
- [disembodied growling]
[gasps, whispering] No.
[breathing heavily, whimpering]
[trinkets tinkling]
- [footsteps approaching]
- [gasps softly]
[Liandrin whispering]
I thought I felt it. Come on.
[sighs]
- [gasps softly]
- [drawers open]
[whispering] Come on, come on.
[inhales deeply]
[groans]
Ugh! [breathing shakily]
[grunts] Goddamn!
[whispering] Come on.
[panting]
[indistinct chattering outside]
[panting, groaning]
[whispering] I can Hold still.
- I can heal that.
- No. If you channel, she'll see it.
I'll distract her. You run.
You get out of the palace.
- I will not let you die for me.
- I made a promise to your mother
a long time ago.
That I'd keep you safe.
Who are you, Thom Merrilin?
After this, you go back to Andor.
[breathing heavily] This Lord Gaebril
Trust me, he doesn't exist.
What?
II grew up with him. I remember him.
Whatever you remember,
he put in your head.
Only a Forsaken could do that.
Your mother is in danger
and so is your throne.
You run.
Run now.
Go.
[breathing shakily]
Hey!
[chuckles]
This makes balefire.
I could be one of the Chosen
with a weapon like this.
Not if I kill you first.
Let's find out
what balefire does to people, yes?
[gasps] No, Elayne!
Let's.
[screaming]
[sighs]
Do you carry iron, instruments of music
or devices for making Light?
What is that smell?
- Do you carry them?
- No!
No, I don't have any of those things.
Where am I?
What is your need, Matrim Cauthon?
H-H-How do you know my name?
Speak.
You have but three.
What are you?
[laughs]
I am Eelfinn.
Speak of your need.
Eelfinn, what I need is
to stop getting bollocked about
by every bloody magical force
on this bloody planet!
- I'm sick of this One Power--
- Done.
There are memories racing through
your mind. They are not yours.
We can take them.
You can fix me?
[chuckles] Done.
Speak your last need.
No, what have you done?
What have you just done?
[breathing heavily]
I know that smell.
The fox den up by the Old Wisdom's house.
It's always full up of
of dead things.
My last need is
I need to get the fuck out of here!
Now!
[growls] Done.
Wise to ask leave taking.
Unwise to set no price, no terms.
- We will set the price.
- [stammers] The price?
What was asked will be given.
The price will be paid.
- [stammers] What price?
- [roaring]
[choking] Min!
Min!
Min!
[grunts]
[breathing shakily] Mat. Mat, you okay?
Mat.
Come on, Mat!
No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Mat, breathe!
[breathing shakily] Come on!
Come on, Mat! Please!
Please! [sobbing]
[blows air] Come on, Mat.
Come on. Come on.
[grunts, inhales sharply] Come on!
Come on, please! Come on! [sobbing]
[grunting]
- Come on! [panting]
- [inhales deeply]
- [coughing]
- That's it. That's it. That's it.
That's it, that's it,
that's it, that's it.
- [chuckling]
- [coughing, gasping]
If you wanted to kiss me,
- there are easier ways.
- [chuckling] Shut up.
[both chuckle]
Where am I?
[grunts]
[chuckles] What are you talking about?
- [chuckling] You know what?
- [sniffs, chuckles]
The screams are gone,
but
I can't r-remember h-how we got here.
[panting] There are things
I can't [stammers] remember.
- Mat. Mat, what's happening?
- [breathing shakily]
- I-I don't know.
- Mat, what's happening?
- [Mat] I don't know.
- Come on.
Come on. Come on.
You should've left.
- Give it to me.
- [exhales shakily]
I found out what happened to you here.
- When you were just a girl.
- No, don't feel sorry for me, Nynaeve.
As the old saying goes,
adversity breeds strength.
Isn't that what happened to you?
Watching your parents die?
Joiya Byir of the Black Ajah told me that
no woman can walk so long in the Shadow
- that she can't see the Light again.
- [chuckles]
God, you're actually trying to turn me.
You think
I don't wanna be exactly what I am?
No, I-I don't.
The only thing I regret about my life here
is I didn't let that old monster drown
my baby boy that first night.
- He made me weak.
- That's not true.
But look at me now.
[grunting]
Look at me now, Nynaeve.
[grunting]
I'm going to collar the Dragon Reborn.
I'm going to be
the first Forsaken of a new age.
And I'm going to kill the
strongest channeler in a thousand years.
[breathing shakily]
[groans]
[screams]
[straining]
[straining]
[Elnore Jr.] Mummy?
Mummy? [sobs] I'm scared.
[straining continues]
[Nynaeve] What do you hear?
[Elnore Jr.] I'm scared.
[Nynaeve] I know, but I need you
to trust me. Do you trust Mummy?
Close your eyes.
I'm here.
Everything's gonna be all right.
[uplifting music plays]
[panting]
[chuckling, breathing shakily]
Melindhra, you knew I'd hear you coming.
Why?
I swore my Dark Oaths for Malkier.
So the Golden Crane would fly again.
But they led me here.
And to fulfill them
would destroy Malkier forever.
You are Malkier.
You are the Golden Crane,
al'Lan Mandragoran.
Lanfear's here,
and she means to kill Rand.
If you break your Dark Oaths,
your soul will die with you.
- Never to be reborn.
- She will think that you're dead
- and you can use that against her.
- You cannot do this.
[grunting]
Melindhra.
[groaning]
Death is lighter than a feather.
Duty heavier than a mountain.
[grunts]
- No.
- [squeaks]
- [grunting]
- [Melindhra shouts]
[sighs, sniffles]
[Moirane] You were right.
To come here.
This is a nation of warriors.
This is an army
that can take the Stone of Tear.
Even the Forsaken will fall
against a hundred thousand spears.
They're not mine yet.
They will be.
I'm sorry I didn't know sooner
that this was the right thing to do.
It was you, wasn't it?
With Lanfear?
The Forsaken attack in Tar Valon.
The mirrors, the axe,
the cards, everything.
It was.
To separate me from the others
so you could control me.
- Yes.
- And you knew, didn't you?
What Lanfear was doing to Egwene
- in her dreams.
- I suspected.
Mmm.
I hoped it would drive you two apart.
Me and Egwene? Or me and Lanfear?
- Both.
- It worked.
I know.
The funny thing is
it's been a while
since we left the Two Rivers.
All this time the only person who's always
been there, who's never left me, is you.
And it's not because you want to use me,
it's because you want me to succeed.
The only thing that matters to you
is that I win the Last Battle.
No, don't confuse yourself, Rand.
I've been the knife at your throat
since this began.
I have been ready to kill you if you chose
the Dark or if you lost your mind.
I don't want you to get to the Last Battle
unless I know you can win it
for the Light.
[chuckles]
Exactly.
You want what I want.
You are the only one who does.
Thank you.
I'm here because of you.
I see that now.
I won't be here forever.
I know. And I won't either,
but I want you to stand at my side
until then.
No.
Today you bring the Aiel
under your control. Alone.
No Aes Sedai strings at your back.
What will you do?
I'm going to protect you from Lanfear.
Or die trying.
Just that?
[chuckles]
Good luck, Rand al'Thor.
You too.
[horses whinnying]
[Verin] Galina Sedai!
You've been ordered back to the Tower.
- By who?
- By the Amyrlin Seat herself.
Siuan can't stop us from doing our duty.
[chuckles] And what duty is that, Sister?
To keep you out of the Tower.
Elaida's inside,
but I've been barred entry into the hall.
This is my hall.
Open these doors.
Now!
What in the Light's name is going on?
Siuan Sanche.
This hall convened not an hour ago, with
eleven Sitters, enough to meet Tower Law,
and by unanimous vote, as required,
deposed you.
[breathes shakily]
You cannot.
I can, and I have.
Furthermore, you have been accused
of being a Darkfriend.
- [breathing shakily]
- Working in concert with the Shadow
to hide the Dragon's existence
from this Tower
and thwart our ability to control him.
For these crimes, you will be stilled.
[grunts, breathing shakily]
[inhales sharply] Over my dead body.
[grunts]
[screaming]
[sighs]
[grunts]
[groaning]
[panting]
[groans]
[screaming]
[ominous music plays]
[grunts, exhales deeply]
[exhales sharply]
No!
Take her.
I have questions.
[Leane sobbing]
No!
- [Mogehedien humming]
- [gasps]
Moghedien?
- How did you know, Mistress?
- [gasps]
If I want to be one of the Chosen,
I need to know my competition.
[chuckles]
[blows raspberry]
What makes you think you can be one of us?
You're the weakest one of them.
So, you can either be Nae'blis alone,
or or find new Chosen, weaker than you.
Like me.
I've been thinking what it would be like
to kill you for such a long time.
[inhales sharply]
[exhales shakily]
[breathing heavily]
It takes two women
to control a man with this a'dam.
So let me work with you
to collar the Dragon.
[whispering] Let me prove myself to you.
I don't work well with others.
[whispering] Neither do I.
I told you
she'd come for the weakest first.
Well [sighs]
At least she left enough of him
to recognize.
You'll be next.
[chuckles]
You didn't think your special alliance
would protect you from Moghedien.
You've always played on all sides, Rahvin.
It's time for you to pick the winning one.
You could stop
any of the Chosen with Callandor.
Oh.
Did your little Dragon reject you again?
You rejected my help once
and look where that got you.
This is the last time I offer.
I'm tired
of us going after each other, Lanfear.
We do need to be united, so be honest,
are you actually ready
to kill the Dragon Reborn?
I'm ready.
[Sevanna] Chiefs of the Aiel,
did not the Dreamwalkers tell you that
the Car'a'carn had emerged from Rhuidean?
That he would stand before you here,
at Alcair Dal, and declare himself?
I am He Who Comes With The Dawn!
- I am the Car'a'carn!
- [Aiel cheering]
[cheering]
[Couladin] According to prophecy,
I will bring new days.
We will cross the Dragonwall again
and take back what was ours!
[cheering]
[cheering dies down]
[Couladin] Wetlander.
I'll kill you for standing on
our sacred ground.
A wetlander, mmm, yes.
What does the prophecy of Rhuidean say?
"Born of the blood."
My father was Janduin,
of the Iron Mountain sept,
clan chief of the Taardad.
But raised by those not of the blood.
Where did your Wise Ones send you
to look for the Car'a'carn?
To the wetlands where I was raised.
They sent you to find me!
[whispering]
I am your Car'a'carn.
I am your Car'a'carn.
- [warrior 1] No way!
- [warrior 2] Liar!
[Aiel clamoring]
[sniffling, crying]
[metallic clanging]
[Alviarin] She comes. She comes.
The Watcher of the Seals.
Flame of Tar Valon.
The Amyrlin Seat.
[Siuan breathes heavily, grunts]
[Elaida] Siuan Sanche.
You have been brought before this Hall to
answer for you crimes against our Tower.
For 20 years, you have worked in secret
with Moiraine Sedai.
I believe she is with
the Dragon Reborn now.
And you know where they are.
After so many years of lies,
will you finally just tell us the truth?
[inhales sharply]
The truth.
That is all we ask.
The truth is
[breathes shakily]
[Siuan] I love Moiraine.
I have always and will always love her.
[screams, groans]
[grunts]
I would die to protect her.
He came with an Aes Sedai
leading him on a leash.
She gave him these marks.
These lies on his arms.
I went to Rhuidean too.
What did you see there, Couladin?
- [softly] No.
- [Couladin] All know Rhuidean is not
to be spoken of.
What I saw was holy.
I am holy!
Twenty years ago,
Gitara Sedai had a Foretelling.
Moiraine and I were there.
[Siuan] She saw
that the Dragon was born again.
I'm not afraid to speak, Couladin.
Are you?
It's time for you
to hear the truth of the Aiel.
I saw the history of the Aiel
through my ancestors' eyes!
[sighs, grunting]
[grunts]
[exhales deeply, choking]
I saw the Age of Legends.
I saw
when the Aiel were called the Da'shain!
When you followed the Way of the Leaf!
- [Aiel murmuring]
- [warrior] He's alive!
You knew.
[Rhuarc] Rand, please!
Our people cannot face this truth.
You will destroy them.
This is what I was born to do.
- [warrior 1] Traitor!
- [Aiel clamoring]
You must all face who you are!
- [warrior 1] No! Liar!
- [warrior 2] No!
- [Aiel clamoring]
- Oath breakers!
[straining]
- [exclaims]
- [grunts]
[Couladin] Do not listen
to this wetlander!
We have always been warriors.
I am your chief of chiefs.
Follow me across the Dragonwall!
[clamoring continues]
Turn your backs on me and you will die!
[choking]
[bones break]
[grunts]
[panting, chuckles]
[Siuan] The world is changing.
We cannot stand behind these walls
and pretend we still have control.
The only thing we have control over
is what we do.
So what will you do?
[breathes heavily]
[screams]
Will you stand behind this woman
who stands for nothing?
Who loves nothing but power.
- [shouts, grunts]
- [grunts]
[panting]
[shouts]
[grunts]
- [grunts]
- [groans]
- [groans, panting]
- [panting]
I shall spill out the blood
of those who call themselves Aiel
as water on sand,
and break you as dried twigs.
Yet the remnant of a remnant
the Car'a'carn shall save,
and they shall live.
I am your Car'a'carn.
[dramatic music plays]
[grunting]
- [grunts]
- [grunts]
[grunts, groans]
[sighs]
It's not the Tower
[stammers] or the Seat
that makes us who we are.
It is us.
Us.
[Moiraine screams]
[grunts]
We are the power.
The light shines through us!
That is the truth!
[exhales sharply]
[groans]
[groaning]
[panting]
I am Aes Sedai.
I have sworn on the Oath that
my sisters have sworn on for 3,000 years.
So, you hear my words
and know that they are true.
[Siuan] If you stay here, you will burn
with this Tower that you claim to love.
But I will never burn
because I am Siuan Sanche.
Daughter of the river.
Water itself.
And I defy you!
I defy you, Elaida!
[groans]
[coughs]
- [Alviarin] The vote was already done.
- [panting]
You were sentenced, Siuan Sanche,
to death.
[emotional music plays]
[groans]
[breathes shakily]
Siuan! [sobs]
- [sobbing]
- Here you are, about to die,
and you're thinking about the woman
who betrayed you.
- [sobbing continues]
- [chuckling] And they call me insane.
[grunting]
[screaming]
[groans]
[groans]
[grunts]
[groans]
[Moiraine grunts]
[grunts]
[panting, sobbing]
[thunder rumbling]
[emotional music plays]
[sobbing]
She's She's dead. She's dead.
Rand al'Thor is the Car'a'carn!
[Moiraine] For the land is one
with the Dragon Reborn,
and he is one with the land.
Soul of fire, heart of stone.
In pride, he conquers,
forcing the proud to yield.
He calls upon the mountains to kneel,
and the seas to give way,
and the very skies to bow.
Pray that the heart of stone
remembers tears
and the soul of fire, love.
[panting]
Rand!
Let go, please!
