The Shannara Chronicles

Previously on The Shannara Chronicles...

The Ellcrys will bear a seed that must be carried

to a place called Safehold.

In order to confront its power,

you must learn to control your own.

The Druid was a fool to send you.

Aah!

Bandon!

That's the window from the vision.

This is how we find the Bloodfire.

- Are you sure? - Positive.

Eretria...

Your body is the vessel.

Your blood is the key.

Don't let them leave without you.

Proposition... your help

in exchange for your freedom.

That mark, what does it mean?

I don't know, I've always had it.

Arion, my father, all gone.

And now you are King.

All hail the King.

- Now what? - Now we find Safehold.

There has to be another way across.

What about that?

The yellow line.

Do you see another path?

The bridge was it.

Well, I hope you're a swimmer.

We're not going across.

We're going under.

There's a tunnel.

It's almost dusk.

We go in there now, we're spending the night.

If there are trolls down there...

Would you rather sleep out here in the open?

That tunnel could be flooded.

"Safehold."

We made it.

All right, let's go.

She's alive.

Amberle's alive.

So what did you see?

I don't know.

I saw ruins.

Like an ancient city.

Man-made, not Elvin.

I didn't recognize it.

Was there anything else?

- Think. - I'm trying.

There was water.

Ocean or river?

I don't know.

I need a break.

No, the Ellcrys is almost bare.

If the last leaf falls...

I know what happens!

If you think I am pushing you,

it's because I am trying

to prepare you for what is to come.

You must fortify yourself against the Dagda Mor.

You're pushing to see if I snap.

It's not fun...

having your mind read, is it?

Your power may be growing,

but be careful how you use it.

And with whom.

sync and corrections by loonatic

It all looks the same.

- What do you think? - I'll head down here.

You guys check that way.

Double back in five minutes?

Yeah.

If you run into a Troll, go for its eyes.

It's their weak spot.

Thanks.

I should go with you.

I'll be fine.

Elfstones won't work against Trolls anyway.

And killing them isn't exactly your strong suit.

I think I liked it better when you two weren't friends.

Five minutes, not a second later.

You said you were stepping down.

You made a fool of me.

You need to understand, Councilwoman.

I have seen the evil that's coming.

If we hope to survive, I need you at my side.

Your influence over the council

would bring unity when we need it most.

Your king needs you, Kael.

You're no king.

You're what's left.

That went well.

What did you expect?

Well, I was hoping she'd be reasonable.

She believes her cause to be just.

But like all leaders,

her judgment is clouded by ambition.

Sounds like I should be worried.

The wiser king always is.

Hey, I said some things back at Utopia.

I was upset,

and I'm sorry

about Tye, about all of it.

Don't be.

I was a fool.

No, you weren't.

It's okay to want to belong.

I've spent my whole life as an outcast.

I know how it feels.

I just wanted to believe that there was a place for me.

But Tye turned out to be a liar.

And Cephalo, he saved me.

The guy I spent my entire life running away from.

It doesn't make any sense.

When I was a kid,

my dad would come home from the tavern drunk.

My mom wouldn't let him in.

He'd just sit outside,

yelling and banging on the door until

he passed out.

I was embarrassed of him.

Then I find out he's this hero.

That he destroyed himself with magic to save us all.

Point is, people are complicated.

You can't beat yourself up over it.

But at least you know the truth now.

You know where you come from.

All I have are questions.

Guys, you gotta see this.

They're asleep.

No way.

Is that...

My tattoo.

What's your tattoo doing on a wall

beneath the ruins of a human city?

That tunnel must lead to the Bloodfire.

I agree.

It... it can't be a coincidence.

Maybe you guys didn't notice, but there are three

heavily-armed trolls in that room...

how are we supposed to get past them?

We've fought worse.

Wait.

Maybe there's another way.

If the Gnome's letter is true, it could turn the tide of war.

Have you told the Council?

No one knows but the two of you.

Unless I can prove an alliance with the Gnomes,

the Council won't trust me.

We must tread carefully.

There are forces aligning against the king.

Kael intends to take the throne.

Well, if Kael's on the move, we need to stop talking

and take her out, to protect Ander.

Wouldn't do any good.

Kael is a symptom.

The disease is a lack of confidence.

Until I can prove myself worthy of the throne,

the Council won't let me sit on it.

Are you suggesting we let a coup happen?

Kael Pindanon would not dare harm

the son of King Eventine.

How do you know that?

Because there is still honor

within these walls.

This letter bears my seal.

I need you to deliver it to bring back the support

I need to win over the Council.

I'm not leaving you.

This is my best chance

to gain the Council's trust.

They need to see me as a leader.

Diana, please.

You're the only one I can count on.

Take it to Slanter.

This is it.

Ha!

They've been at it for hours.

Hope they can still hold their swords

when the real fighting begins.

This is nothing, you should try spending

a whole day with the Druid.

Keep your shield hand high.

You'll absorb the impact with your whole body.

Our enemy is aggressive.

Utterly lacking in fear.

They will attack with ferocity,

but they will be reckless.

We must be the opposite.

Help me demonstrate.

Um...

I'm not much of a fighter.

We're all fighters in this war.

Show him your power.

Do it.

Be patient.

Wait for an opening.

You are strong.

Take your chance.
