1
00:01:33,135 --> 00:01:35,053
Amberle, you still alive?
2
00:01:35,596 --> 00:01:37,931
Relax, Uncle Ander.
It's not like I'm gonna break.
3
00:01:40,392 --> 00:01:42,352
How many times
have I missed that jump tonight?
4
00:01:42,477 --> 00:01:45,647
Five. If you lose count
of your steps tomorrow,
5
00:01:45,772 --> 00:01:47,691
it'll be the shortest half mile
of your life.
6
00:01:50,736 --> 00:01:53,405
- I'm going again.
- No. It's late.
7
00:01:53,530 --> 00:01:55,365
The race starts at dawn.
You need to rest.
8
00:01:55,490 --> 00:01:57,367
Only the first seven runners
across the line
9
00:01:57,492 --> 00:01:59,536
become members of the Chosen.
10
00:01:59,661 --> 00:02:01,538
I didn't do all of this just to lose.
11
00:02:07,836 --> 00:02:11,256
Princess, are you sure you wanna step
on thousands of years of Elvin tradition?
12
00:02:11,381 --> 00:02:14,635
There's no turning back.
We need to stake out my starting place.
13
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:18,138
Don't worry, as your friend and servant,
I've got you covered.
14
00:02:18,263 --> 00:02:20,349
OK, let's stay focused, Catania.
15
00:02:24,895 --> 00:02:27,022
Bet you wish you'd told Lorin
you were running now.
16
00:02:28,148 --> 00:02:29,650
He's a big boy, he can handle it.
17
00:02:33,028 --> 00:02:35,405
Jace told me that if Lorin becomes
a member of the Chosen,
18
00:02:35,530 --> 00:02:37,115
he's going to ask you to marry him.
19
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:39,076
Amberle.
20
00:02:39,951 --> 00:02:43,455
You're not allowed here.
Have you come to wish me luck?
21
00:02:44,373 --> 00:02:45,666
Yes.
22
00:02:46,583 --> 00:02:47,583
And no.
23
00:02:52,923 --> 00:02:54,174
I'm racing too.
24
00:02:59,638 --> 00:03:00,681
You're kidding?
25
00:03:02,557 --> 00:03:04,810
Is there a rule that says
a girl can't run the Gauntlet?
26
00:03:04,935 --> 00:03:06,853
That's the way it's always been.
27
00:03:06,978 --> 00:03:09,749
We have female Commanders in the Elvin
Army and women on the High Council.
28
00:03:09,773 --> 00:03:11,775
It's time the Four Lands
had a female Chosen.
29
00:03:13,068 --> 00:03:14,403
You knew about this?
30
00:03:14,528 --> 00:03:17,489
Who do you think sneaked her past
the Home Guard and out of the palace?
31
00:03:21,618 --> 00:03:23,912
The Gauntlet is dangerous, Amberle.
32
00:03:24,037 --> 00:03:25,831
These guys will do anything to win.
33
00:03:25,956 --> 00:03:27,708
SO Will I.
34
00:03:31,336 --> 00:03:32,337
Then good luck.
35
00:03:33,463 --> 00:03:34,798
May the best Elf win.
36
00:03:42,139 --> 00:03:45,350
I'm definitely sensing
a lot of sweaty Elf-boy hate.
37
00:03:45,475 --> 00:03:47,477
Are you sure you want to do this?
38
00:03:47,602 --> 00:03:48,602
Uh-huh.
39
00:03:50,939 --> 00:03:52,149
Tie me up.
40
00:03:56,820 --> 00:03:57,821
Steady!
41
00:03:59,156 --> 00:04:02,868
Only the first seven to cross
will be anointed.
42
00:04:05,912 --> 00:04:07,956
On the sound of my horn.
43
00:04:33,648 --> 00:04:35,317
'Get up, Amberle.'
44
00:05:37,337 --> 00:05:38,922
'Jump-'
45
00:05:52,310 --> 00:05:55,105
They're coming!
46
00:06:10,996 --> 00:06:12,831
One!
47
00:06:20,213 --> 00:06:21,464
Two!
48
00:06:23,925 --> 00:06:24,926
Three!
49
00:06:25,594 --> 00:06:27,012
Four!
50
00:06:44,362 --> 00:06:45,906
Five!
51
00:06:49,576 --> 00:06:50,952
Six!
52
00:06:51,995 --> 00:06:55,373
- Don't give up!
- Go! There's one Chosen left!
53
00:06:55,498 --> 00:06:57,167
Get up!
54
00:07:24,986 --> 00:07:28,239
I I feel it running through my veins.
55
00:07:54,891 --> 00:07:56,935
I And I need that fire
56
00:07:57,060 --> 00:08:02,649
I Just to know that I'm awake I.
57
00:08:27,549 --> 00:08:29,050
It's a girl!
58
00:08:29,926 --> 00:08:31,511
Look! I can't believe it!
59
00:08:31,636 --> 00:08:34,097
Is that the Princess?
60
00:08:53,533 --> 00:08:55,660
I thought you were teaching her
how to fence?
61
00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:58,747
She was a quick study.
62
00:09:22,771 --> 00:09:24,147
Congratulations.
63
00:09:25,315 --> 00:09:28,693
As King, I welcome you
to the Order of the Chosen.
64
00:09:39,079 --> 00:09:44,751
At the dawn of every new year,
we gather in this sacred garden
65
00:09:44,876 --> 00:09:47,837
to recount the story of the Ellcrys.
66
00:09:49,923 --> 00:09:51,549
Thousands of years ago,
67
00:09:52,592 --> 00:09:56,221
our Elvin ancestors fought a war
against an army of Demons.
68
00:09:56,805 --> 00:09:59,307
The Elves were at the point
of annihilation
69
00:09:59,974 --> 00:10:02,644
when their elders turned to magic.
70
00:10:02,769 --> 00:10:04,938
Using this powerful gift,
71
00:10:05,063 --> 00:10:11,611
they managed to imprison the Demons
in a realm known as the Forbidding.
72
00:10:12,278 --> 00:10:17,033
The Ellcrys was created to stand sentry.
73
00:10:17,158 --> 00:10:22,288
As long as it lives,
the Demons are locked up for all eternity.
74
00:10:22,413 --> 00:10:25,333
Now, I realise that for some of you
75
00:10:25,458 --> 00:10:29,129
this is merely... folklore.
76
00:10:30,755 --> 00:10:35,468
But in no way does this diminish
your responsibilities.
77
00:10:36,469 --> 00:10:39,264
And you are now its protectors.
78
00:10:42,058 --> 00:10:43,351
Now step forward,
79
00:10:43,476 --> 00:10:46,354
place your hands on the tree
and be accepted by the Ellcrys.
80
00:11:02,954 --> 00:11:06,374
I can't believe you let her
embarrass our father like that.
81
00:11:06,499 --> 00:11:08,918
This is his last ceremony
before he abdicates the throne.
82
00:11:09,043 --> 00:11:10,837
I didn't let Amberle do anything.
83
00:11:10,962 --> 00:11:14,299
OK? This was her idea.
I just aided and abetted.
84
00:11:14,757 --> 00:11:16,759
She could have
seriously hurt herself.
85
00:11:16,885 --> 00:11:20,180
I'd have thought for Aine's sake
that you'd want to keep her safe.
86
00:11:20,305 --> 00:11:22,557
Invoking our dead brother?
That's very subtle.
87
00:11:22,682 --> 00:11:26,352
- Work that in your coronation speech.
- We made a pact to protect her.
88
00:11:26,811 --> 00:11:29,314
At least you know
where she'll be for the next year.
89
00:11:29,439 --> 00:11:33,276
Locked behind these walls,
watering an old tree.
90
00:11:33,401 --> 00:11:35,737
Do you have any respect
for Elvin traditions?
91
00:11:35,862 --> 00:11:37,947
Only the ones with parties.
92
00:13:20,508 --> 00:13:22,260
It has begun.
93
00:13:54,500 --> 00:13:57,170
I had to go all the way to Olney,
but I found white willow bark.
94
00:14:06,471 --> 00:14:08,222
Afraid it won't do any good now.
95
00:14:11,434 --> 00:14:12,643
I'll leave you two alone.
96
00:14:19,609 --> 00:14:21,152
Wil.
97
00:14:21,277 --> 00:14:22,403
Hey, Mum.
98
00:14:22,528 --> 00:14:24,530
You hang in there.
I've got something new to try.
99
00:14:24,655 --> 00:14:27,033
I promise, this will ease your pain.
100
00:14:27,158 --> 00:14:31,996
Always such a sweet boy.
101
00:14:32,121 --> 00:14:36,209
So much I need to tell you.
102
00:14:36,834 --> 00:14:37,835
Open it.
103
00:14:45,343 --> 00:14:47,428
They're Elfstones.
104
00:14:47,553 --> 00:14:50,181
Belonged to your father.
105
00:14:51,391 --> 00:14:53,184
They're magic.
106
00:14:54,936 --> 00:14:57,397
I know you thought...
107
00:14:57,522 --> 00:15:00,108
your father was crazy,
108
00:15:00,942 --> 00:15:03,861
but he was a good man.
109
00:15:04,695 --> 00:15:07,865
He believed in those.
110
00:15:11,202 --> 00:15:13,246
Mum, you're not making any sense.
111
00:15:15,248 --> 00:15:17,625
My precious boy.
112
00:15:25,049 --> 00:15:27,677
Find the Druid.
113
00:15:30,054 --> 00:15:32,640
Find the Druid.
114
00:15:33,850 --> 00:15:36,310
Promise me.
115
00:15:39,188 --> 00:15:41,607
No, Mum, don't leave me.
116
00:15:41,732 --> 00:15:43,651
No, Mum, I'm not ready.
117
00:16:09,677 --> 00:16:11,512
She always loved this spot.
118
00:16:13,181 --> 00:16:15,683
Said she could see
the whole world from here.
119
00:16:18,269 --> 00:16:19,687
I'm sorry, Wil.
120
00:16:23,316 --> 00:16:25,568
Hey, um... Uncle Flick...
121
00:16:26,777 --> 00:16:29,238
Have you ever seen these before?
122
00:16:31,115 --> 00:16:33,034
Mum called them Elfstones.
123
00:16:35,620 --> 00:16:38,956
I told her to bury those damn things
after your father died.
124
00:16:40,082 --> 00:16:42,084
Why'?
125
00:16:42,210 --> 00:16:44,504
Because they put him in an early grave.
126
00:16:45,588 --> 00:16:47,798
He was never the same person
after he used them.
127
00:16:49,050 --> 00:16:50,885
Used them?
128
00:16:51,010 --> 00:16:53,596
Wait, you're not seriously telling me
you believe in magic.
129
00:16:53,721 --> 00:16:56,182
I believe in evil, Wil.
130
00:16:56,891 --> 00:17:00,102
And those things will bring you
nothing but misery.
131
00:17:00,228 --> 00:17:02,855
Do yourself a favour, throw them
in the river, be done with them.
132
00:17:05,358 --> 00:17:06,943
I'm sorry.
133
00:17:37,932 --> 00:17:40,412
- Someone to see you.
- I told the guards not to let anyone in.
134
00:17:41,435 --> 00:17:43,938
That's why Catania
helped me avoid them.
135
00:17:44,564 --> 00:17:47,650
If you won't tell me what's going on,
maybe you'll talk to him.
136
00:17:48,484 --> 00:17:50,361
You owe me.
137
00:17:50,486 --> 00:17:52,363
You didn't need to check up on me.
138
00:17:52,488 --> 00:17:54,824
You passed out in front of the Ellcrys.
139
00:17:54,949 --> 00:17:56,367
I was worried about you.
140
00:17:56,492 --> 00:17:57,660
I'm fine.
141
00:17:57,785 --> 00:17:59,829
Then why have you
locked yourself up in here?
142
00:17:59,954 --> 00:18:02,206
You wouldn't believe me if I told you.
143
00:18:06,168 --> 00:18:07,169
Is that one me?
144
00:18:08,754 --> 00:18:10,423
Oh... no...
145
00:18:10,548 --> 00:18:12,133
You definitely got the ears right.
146
00:18:18,514 --> 00:18:20,683
Can I ask you something crazy?
147
00:18:20,808 --> 00:18:23,144
- But you have to promise not to laugh.
- Yeah.
148
00:18:24,812 --> 00:18:27,898
Do you think
the story of the Ellcrys is true?
149
00:18:28,858 --> 00:18:31,527
You mean the part where it's a barrier
holding back a Demon army?
150
00:18:34,614 --> 00:18:35,615
Come on, Amberle.
151
00:18:35,740 --> 00:18:38,659
We both know magic died out
with the Druids.
152
00:18:40,244 --> 00:18:41,287
Yeah, you're right.
153
00:18:42,371 --> 00:18:43,956
Forget I asked.
154
00:18:48,294 --> 00:18:50,338
Come to the celebration tonight.
155
00:18:51,839 --> 00:18:53,674
People need to see you.
156
00:18:55,259 --> 00:18:56,719
I need to see you.
157
00:18:58,804 --> 00:19:01,891
Leave your Demons behind
and come and celebrate.
158
00:19:27,249 --> 00:19:29,168
You just buried your ma.
Now is not the time
159
00:19:29,293 --> 00:19:32,380
to be making reckless decisions
about your future.
160
00:19:32,505 --> 00:19:34,507
I know my future's not here.
161
00:19:35,132 --> 00:19:36,592
That's the Elfstones talking.
162
00:19:37,968 --> 00:19:41,180
Give me a little credit, Uncle Flick.
I threw those things away like you said.
163
00:19:42,598 --> 00:19:45,559
I'm moving to Storlock
to train as a healer.
164
00:19:45,685 --> 00:19:48,896
You've never been more than five miles
outside of Shady Vale.
165
00:19:49,021 --> 00:19:51,691
The world outside is dangerous, Wil.
166
00:19:52,608 --> 00:19:54,902
It's full of Gnomes
and Trolls and Rovers.
167
00:19:55,027 --> 00:19:56,278
They all hate each other.
168
00:19:56,404 --> 00:19:58,948
The only thing they have in common
is they hate Elves more.
169
00:20:00,408 --> 00:20:02,952
I'll keep my ears covered,
just like always.
170
00:20:03,077 --> 00:20:05,329
You're the same as your father.
171
00:20:05,454 --> 00:20:07,540
Never happy
with your place in the world.
172
00:20:09,291 --> 00:20:10,710
What is that supposed to mean?
173
00:20:11,877 --> 00:20:13,546
Stay in Shady Vale.
174
00:20:13,671 --> 00:20:17,007
Let me talk to Dax.
I'm sure he could use an apprentice.
175
00:20:17,133 --> 00:20:19,552
Dax couldn't heal a stubbed toe.
176
00:20:19,677 --> 00:20:22,388
Storlock has the best healers
in the Four Lands.
177
00:20:22,513 --> 00:20:24,181
Wil...
178
00:20:24,765 --> 00:20:26,684
you did everything you could
for your ma.
179
00:20:29,812 --> 00:20:31,355
It wasn't enough.
180
00:20:33,941 --> 00:20:36,110
I never want to feel that helpless again.
181
00:22:00,694 --> 00:22:04,281
Uncle Ander, thanks for the save.
182
00:22:04,406 --> 00:22:07,201
The Gauntlet's easier to navigate
than this party.
183
00:22:07,326 --> 00:22:10,246
- Just don't faint and you'll be fine.
- My fainting days are over.
184
00:22:10,371 --> 00:22:12,206
Good, because, as you can see,
185
00:22:12,331 --> 00:22:14,750
there are a lot of people
who are very eager to meet you.
186
00:22:16,585 --> 00:22:19,380
Grandpa still hasn't spoken to me.
187
00:22:19,505 --> 00:22:21,090
Don't worry about it.
188
00:22:21,215 --> 00:22:24,218
Sometimes I think the only member
of the family that he actually likes
189
00:22:24,343 --> 00:22:25,344
is Manx.
190
00:22:29,139 --> 00:22:31,809
Speaking of loyal dogs,
how's your boyfriend?
191
00:22:33,102 --> 00:22:34,687
Be nice.
192
00:22:37,022 --> 00:22:38,858
Lorin's a good guy.
193
00:22:38,983 --> 00:22:41,110
He deserves someone
who truly loves him.
194
00:22:42,403 --> 00:22:44,446
I'm just not sure that someone is me.
195
00:22:46,031 --> 00:22:47,449
Then you'd better tell him
196
00:22:47,575 --> 00:22:50,703
or else you're going to spend
a very awkward year in the Sanctuary.
197
00:22:54,248 --> 00:22:57,334
Not nearly as awkward as watching
you pine for Commander Tilton.
198
00:22:57,459 --> 00:22:58,752
No.
199
00:22:58,878 --> 00:23:00,838
No, I'm not... pining, I'm...
200
00:23:01,505 --> 00:23:02,965
I'm observing.
201
00:23:04,592 --> 00:23:06,969
That's been over for a very long time.
202
00:23:08,679 --> 00:23:10,848
I think we can both agree
she made the wiser choice.
203
00:23:18,314 --> 00:23:19,982
Happy hunting.
204
00:23:30,034 --> 00:23:31,869
'I need you.'
205
00:23:37,041 --> 00:23:38,834
You look absolutely amazing.
206
00:23:39,877 --> 00:23:41,378
Thanks.
207
00:23:44,673 --> 00:23:45,925
Would you like to dance?
208
00:23:47,635 --> 00:23:50,512
I just need some food.
I haven't eaten all day.
209
00:23:50,638 --> 00:23:52,056
I'll make you a plate.
210
00:24:28,008 --> 00:24:29,593
'Come closer.'
211
00:24:50,698 --> 00:24:51,782
Lorin!
212
00:24:58,580 --> 00:25:00,332
Why'?
213
00:25:21,395 --> 00:25:22,646
Stay back!
214
00:25:26,442 --> 00:25:27,985
What are you doing out here?
215
00:25:28,944 --> 00:25:31,238
The Ellcrys called to me.
216
00:25:32,531 --> 00:25:34,241
During the Gauntlet
and again tonight.
217
00:25:34,366 --> 00:25:37,703
- I try to ignore it but it won't let me.
- Amberle, you're not making any sense.
218
00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:42,291
When I touch the tree,
it shows me visions.
219
00:25:43,834 --> 00:25:45,836
Horrible visions of the future.
220
00:25:46,628 --> 00:25:47,629
Like what?
221
00:25:49,381 --> 00:25:51,759
That I'm going to kill you, Lorin.
222
00:25:52,885 --> 00:25:53,927
Kill me?
223
00:25:54,053 --> 00:25:55,387
I saw it.
224
00:25:56,472 --> 00:25:57,723
I stabbed you.
225
00:26:01,268 --> 00:26:04,271
I don't know what to think anymore.
I should never have run the Gauntlet.
226
00:26:07,941 --> 00:26:09,526
I have to leave Arborlon.
227
00:26:10,486 --> 00:26:12,529
There's only one person
who can help me.
228
00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:17,910
- Calm down.
- No, I won't put you in danger!
229
00:26:18,952 --> 00:26:21,371
You need to stay
as far away from me as possible.
230
00:26:26,335 --> 00:26:27,336
Seriously?
231
00:26:35,010 --> 00:26:36,178
I'm sorry.
232
00:26:51,235 --> 00:26:52,277
Whoa!
233
00:26:59,284 --> 00:27:01,662
Well, so much for my shortcut.
234
00:27:03,038 --> 00:27:05,499
Hey, I don't like it
any more than you do.
235
00:27:08,127 --> 00:27:10,963
Great. Now I'm the guy
who talks to his horse.
236
00:28:27,122 --> 00:28:30,042
I thought Elves
were supposed to be smart.
237
00:28:30,167 --> 00:28:31,585
I'm half-Elf.
238
00:28:33,337 --> 00:28:37,257
Clearly the wrong half. Only an idiot
would travel these woods alone.
239
00:28:37,382 --> 00:28:39,051
Trolls hunt here.
240
00:28:40,427 --> 00:28:42,137
Wait, that's a Troll?
241
00:28:47,976 --> 00:28:49,186
Was a Troll.
242
00:28:55,609 --> 00:28:57,611
The Troll must have
picked up your scent.
243
00:28:58,570 --> 00:29:01,406
I hear Elf ears are
their favourite snacks.
244
00:29:12,876 --> 00:29:13,876
Huh.
245
00:29:14,878 --> 00:29:16,296
Even short tips.
246
00:29:17,047 --> 00:29:20,133
If you're going to keep insulting me,
I should at least know your name.
247
00:29:24,179 --> 00:29:25,347
Eretria.
248
00:29:27,266 --> 00:29:28,809
I'm Wil.
249
00:29:28,934 --> 00:29:30,727
Thanks for saving my life.
250
00:29:42,781 --> 00:29:44,199
Hey, wait up.
251
00:30:15,939 --> 00:30:17,774
Prince Ander.
Any word on Amberle?
252
00:30:17,899 --> 00:30:19,901
The Black Watch
are sweeping the countryside.
253
00:30:21,028 --> 00:30:23,697
- I wish I could do something.
- Start by telling the truth.
254
00:30:23,822 --> 00:30:25,657
I told Prince Arion everything.
255
00:30:26,908 --> 00:30:29,077
See, I'm an excellent liar,
256
00:30:29,202 --> 00:30:31,455
which means I can tell
when somebody's lying to me.
257
00:30:33,290 --> 00:30:36,543
Amberle left the party upset
and you followed her out here.
258
00:30:36,668 --> 00:30:40,088
You two got into a fight
and now she's missing.
259
00:30:40,630 --> 00:30:44,176
As far as I'm concerned,
I'm staring at the prime suspect.
260
00:30:45,385 --> 00:30:47,387
She said the Ellcrys called to her
261
00:30:47,846 --> 00:30:49,931
and showed her a vision of the future.
262
00:30:50,057 --> 00:30:52,184
In it she killed me.
263
00:30:52,768 --> 00:30:55,854
You honestly expect me to believe
the tree was communicating with her?
264
00:30:55,979 --> 00:30:59,024
I know it sounds crazy.
That's why I didn't say anything.
265
00:31:03,111 --> 00:31:04,946
You'd better pray she's still alive.
266
00:31:47,614 --> 00:31:49,241
What do you think that was?
267
00:31:50,450 --> 00:31:52,661
Don't know, don't care.
268
00:31:52,786 --> 00:31:54,579
Aren't you curious
about ancient Humans
269
00:31:54,704 --> 00:31:56,790
and how they built
these incredible things?
270
00:31:56,915 --> 00:31:59,876
Look, they're dead, we're not.
End of story.
271
00:32:03,505 --> 00:32:05,841
Anyone ever tell you
you're kind of cynical?
272
00:32:05,966 --> 00:32:08,468
Anyone ever tell you
you're kind of naive?
273
00:32:13,014 --> 00:32:14,015
What is it?
274
00:32:14,141 --> 00:32:16,810
Not sure.
Some kind of fungus or bark rot.
275
00:32:17,853 --> 00:32:20,772
The Ellcrys is sick?
When's the last time that happened?
276
00:32:21,815 --> 00:32:22,899
Never.
277
00:32:24,734 --> 00:32:29,322
So you don't recall any accounts
of the Ellcrys ever having been sick?
278
00:32:29,990 --> 00:32:31,700
It's never even shed a leaf.
279
00:32:45,297 --> 00:32:47,966
I understand the symbolic importance
of the Ellcrys, Father,
280
00:32:48,091 --> 00:32:50,844
but it is, after all, only just a tree.
281
00:32:50,969 --> 00:32:56,516
The Ellcrys is more than just a tree.
I can assure you of that, boy.
282
00:33:00,687 --> 00:33:02,981
Stop there! How did you get
past the Home Guard?
283
00:33:05,609 --> 00:33:09,613
Eventine, please tell your son
I mean no harm.
284
00:33:11,531 --> 00:33:13,116
Allanon!
285
00:33:16,745 --> 00:33:18,538
Put down your sword, boy.
286
00:33:29,299 --> 00:33:32,302
It has been a long time,
my old friend.
287
00:33:33,345 --> 00:33:36,473
Father? Father, who is this Human?
288
00:33:36,598 --> 00:33:37,807
This is Allanon.
289
00:33:39,226 --> 00:33:41,353
The last Druid of Paranor.
290
00:33:44,773 --> 00:33:45,607
Druid?
291
00:33:45,732 --> 00:33:47,984
You said the last Druid died
in the War of the Races.
292
00:33:48,109 --> 00:33:49,110
Did you, now?
293
00:33:51,154 --> 00:33:54,783
No one has set eyes on you in 30 years.
I assumed the worst.
294
00:33:54,908 --> 00:33:57,827
But it appears
you have not aged a single day.
295
00:34:02,123 --> 00:34:06,378
I have been called by the Ellcrys.
I must go to the Sanctuary immediately.
296
00:34:07,754 --> 00:34:10,090
If you really are a Druid...
297
00:34:13,969 --> 00:34:15,637
prove it.
298
00:34:15,762 --> 00:34:17,138
Show us some magic.
299
00:34:20,225 --> 00:34:21,393
I don't do tricks.
300
00:34:24,396 --> 00:34:25,689
Let him go.
301
00:34:27,440 --> 00:34:29,401
If Allanon is here,
302
00:34:31,152 --> 00:34:33,863
there are dark days ahead.
303
00:34:44,416 --> 00:34:46,876
This is your house?
304
00:34:47,002 --> 00:34:49,546
You're welcome
to camp out with the Trolls.
305
00:34:49,671 --> 00:34:54,718
I didn't picture someone like you
living in a place so... woodsy.
306
00:34:56,845 --> 00:34:58,680
Take off your clothes
before you come in.
307
00:34:58,805 --> 00:35:00,223
All of them.
308
00:35:01,516 --> 00:35:05,520
- You're joking, right?
- No. You need a bath.
309
00:35:05,645 --> 00:35:09,024
And I don't want you tracking mud
all over my woodsy little house.
310
00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:29,169
So, er, you live here alone?
311
00:35:29,294 --> 00:35:31,921
Don't worry, we won't be disturbed.
312
00:35:59,741 --> 00:36:02,369
So, aren't you worried about Rovers?
313
00:36:02,952 --> 00:36:04,663
What do you know about Rovers?
314
00:36:04,788 --> 00:36:07,582
One look at you and they'd take
the clothes off your back
315
00:36:07,707 --> 00:36:09,876
and steal your little bag of blue rocks.
316
00:36:17,676 --> 00:36:19,344
I need those back.
317
00:36:19,469 --> 00:36:21,137
Why'?
318
00:36:21,262 --> 00:36:22,972
Are they valuable?
319
00:36:23,098 --> 00:36:24,474
Only to me.
320
00:36:26,267 --> 00:36:28,311
Someone's got a little secret.
321
00:36:29,562 --> 00:36:31,815
What's it going to take
for you to tell me?
322
00:36:35,068 --> 00:36:38,113
They're called Elfstones.
323
00:36:38,238 --> 00:36:40,156
They belonged to my dad.
324
00:36:40,281 --> 00:36:42,325
They're supposed
to have magical powers.
325
00:36:47,622 --> 00:36:49,916
They're very pretty.
326
00:36:50,041 --> 00:36:51,793
Compared to you, I hadn't noticed.
327
00:36:54,587 --> 00:36:56,256
I'm sorry.
328
00:36:58,550 --> 00:37:00,677
I'm the one who should apologise.
329
00:37:00,802 --> 00:37:02,262
For what?
330
00:37:03,555 --> 00:37:06,224
The epic headache
you're gonna have in the morning.
331
00:37:27,370 --> 00:37:29,080
It's much worse than I thought.
332
00:37:31,207 --> 00:37:32,876
The Ellcrys is dying.
333
00:37:37,005 --> 00:37:38,047
Are you certain?
334
00:37:39,966 --> 00:37:41,676
You need to mobilize the Elvin army.
335
00:37:41,801 --> 00:37:44,596
Why does a dying tree require an army?
336
00:37:45,513 --> 00:37:47,557
You know the story
of the Ellcrys, don't you?
337
00:37:48,683 --> 00:37:50,518
Each leaf represents a single Demon.
338
00:37:50,643 --> 00:37:51,853
Once they begin to fall,
339
00:37:51,978 --> 00:37:56,357
the creatures of darkness will be
released from the Forbidding one by one.
340
00:37:56,483 --> 00:37:58,318
We all know that story
is just a fairy tale.
341
00:37:58,443 --> 00:38:01,404
Father, you're not actually
listening to this, are you?
342
00:38:01,529 --> 00:38:04,199
You let him believe this
when you know the opposite to be true.
343
00:38:04,324 --> 00:38:06,576
After the War of the Races,
344
00:38:06,701 --> 00:38:10,079
I believed that magic had disappeared,
along with you and the Warlock Lord.
345
00:38:10,205 --> 00:38:12,290
Well, then, you tell that to your people
346
00:38:12,415 --> 00:38:15,001
when the fairy tales
are ripping out their throats!
347
00:40:46,945 --> 00:40:47,946
Get dressed, Wil.
348
00:40:48,488 --> 00:40:51,115
How do you know my name?
Where's Eretria?
349
00:40:51,240 --> 00:40:55,119
- Your Rover girl is long gone.
- Rover?
350
00:40:55,244 --> 00:40:57,538
I don't understand.
This is her house.
351
00:40:57,664 --> 00:40:59,123
No, it's not.
352
00:40:59,248 --> 00:41:00,333
It's theirs.
353
00:41:02,043 --> 00:41:04,671
Oh. I'm an idiot.
354
00:41:04,796 --> 00:41:08,257
You'll get no argument from me.
You were supposed to be in Shady Vale.
355
00:41:08,383 --> 00:41:10,760
Did my uncle send you
to bring me home?
356
00:41:10,885 --> 00:41:13,972
Flick had no intention
of telling me your whereabouts.
357
00:41:14,097 --> 00:41:16,182
But his thoughts
were never hard to read.
358
00:41:16,933 --> 00:41:18,309
What?
359
00:41:18,434 --> 00:41:20,728
Who exactly are you?
360
00:41:20,853 --> 00:41:22,480
I am Allanon.
361
00:41:22,605 --> 00:41:23,815
We must reach Druids' Keep.
362
00:41:25,024 --> 00:41:26,192
Wait, you're a Druid?
363
00:41:28,277 --> 00:41:30,989
Right before my mum passed away,
she told me I needed to find you.
364
00:41:32,949 --> 00:41:36,494
Perhaps you should have listened to her.
You'd have saved us both a lot of time.
365
00:41:37,912 --> 00:41:39,247
She gave me these Elfstones.
366
00:41:45,878 --> 00:41:49,048
- The Rover stole those too.
- This is harder than I thought.
367
00:41:49,173 --> 00:41:52,260
You have put our quest in jeopardy.
368
00:41:53,720 --> 00:41:55,513
What quest?
369
00:41:55,638 --> 00:41:57,390
What quest?
370
00:42:05,148 --> 00:42:07,942
Oh, I can't believe
this is the Shannara I've been dealt.
371
00:42:10,820 --> 00:42:11,946
That's my horse!
372
00:42:13,614 --> 00:42:14,991
Hey!
373
00:42:17,368 --> 00:42:18,995
Yes! Hey.
374
00:42:19,120 --> 00:42:21,789
The Four Lands is in grave danger.
375
00:42:21,914 --> 00:42:24,125
Only the last son of Shannara
can save it.
376
00:42:25,168 --> 00:42:28,046
My name's Wil Ohmsford.
You've got the wrong guy.
377
00:42:28,796 --> 00:42:30,715
You're a Shannara.
378
00:42:30,840 --> 00:42:34,135
Your ancestors were
kings and warriors,
379
00:42:34,260 --> 00:42:37,055
heroes who lived and died
defending the Four Lands,
380
00:42:37,180 --> 00:42:38,639
men like your father.
381
00:42:41,350 --> 00:42:44,854
My father was a deadbeat drunk
who died alone and destitute.
382
00:42:44,979 --> 00:42:46,689
You've been lied to.
383
00:42:49,484 --> 00:42:51,778
Do you believe in magic, boy?
384
00:42:51,903 --> 00:42:52,904
Of course not.
385
00:42:53,029 --> 00:42:55,239
Well, magic flowed through your father.
386
00:42:56,115 --> 00:42:58,493
And it flows through you too.
387
00:43:00,036 --> 00:43:02,080
It's in the Shannara blood.
388
00:43:03,581 --> 00:43:07,210
If I had magic inside me,
why didn't it help me save my mum?
389
00:43:09,170 --> 00:43:10,254
It could have.
390
00:43:11,464 --> 00:43:13,091
If you'd known how to unlock it.
391
00:43:15,093 --> 00:43:16,969
I can show you how.
392
00:43:24,477 --> 00:43:25,895
Come.
393
00:43:27,772 --> 00:43:29,524
Your destiny awaits.
394
00:45:36,150 --> 00:45:37,860
Next one goes through your heart!
395
00:45:41,656 --> 00:45:43,407
Who are you?
396
00:45:44,075 --> 00:45:46,535
I mean no harm. Please.
397
00:45:46,661 --> 00:45:49,580
I saw your fire
and I was hoping to warm myself.
398
00:45:51,332 --> 00:45:53,251
You're the second Elf
I've run into this week.
399
00:45:53,376 --> 00:45:55,419
Actually, the first was a mongrel.
400
00:45:56,087 --> 00:45:58,172
Cute but not too bright.
401
00:46:00,841 --> 00:46:03,511
Where are you headed all by yourself?
402
00:46:03,636 --> 00:46:05,763
To the Elvin mission in Culhaven.
403
00:46:10,977 --> 00:46:12,186
I'm a teacher.
404
00:46:13,854 --> 00:46:15,273
You pack light.
405
00:46:17,024 --> 00:46:18,401
Unlike you.
406
00:46:21,445 --> 00:46:23,489
My husband found work near Balinor.
407
00:46:26,284 --> 00:46:28,044
I had to pack up my stuff
and meet him there.
408
00:46:42,425 --> 00:46:43,425
Thank you.
409
00:46:50,558 --> 00:46:51,767
You have no wedding band.
410
00:46:53,686 --> 00:46:56,188
Not that I'm surprised.
Who would want to marry a Rover?
411
00:47:00,026 --> 00:47:03,321
Well, your jewellery
gave you away too, Princess.
412
00:47:03,446 --> 00:47:06,157
I don't know of any teacher who wears
the royal seal of Arborlon
413
00:47:06,282 --> 00:47:07,491
engraved on their cuff.
414
00:47:07,616 --> 00:47:10,369
What was your plan?
Drug me and then rob me?
415
00:47:10,494 --> 00:47:11,662
I steal to survive.
416
00:47:11,787 --> 00:47:13,622
Don't try and justify your actions.
417
00:47:13,748 --> 00:47:16,208
You and your kind are a blight
on the Four Lands.
418
00:47:16,334 --> 00:47:19,754
Ouch. Does the arrogant attitude
also come on a silver platter?
419
00:47:19,879 --> 00:47:22,465
You wouldn't know
the first thing about my life.
420
00:47:22,590 --> 00:47:24,717
Well, you don't have an escort.
421
00:47:24,842 --> 00:47:26,510
My guess, you're running away,
422
00:47:26,635 --> 00:47:30,389
probably from a guy who either
broke your heart or knocked you up.
423
00:47:31,557 --> 00:47:32,683
Whatever your drama,
424
00:47:32,808 --> 00:47:36,062
it doesn't even compare to what
you face out there in the real world.
425
00:47:36,187 --> 00:47:38,731
Thanks for that nugget of Rover wisdom.
426
00:47:38,856 --> 00:47:40,316
'Amberle, we need you.
427
00:47:41,942 --> 00:47:43,986
'Come back.'
428
00:47:45,112 --> 00:47:46,947
Afraid of the dark, Princess?
429
00:47:50,284 --> 00:47:52,328
Now who's the thief?
430
00:47:54,914 --> 00:47:57,458
Believe me, you got
the better end of that trade.
431
00:48:25,194 --> 00:48:27,655
There it is, Druids' Keep.
432
00:48:31,033 --> 00:48:33,327
I can't believe I rode all night for this.
433
00:48:33,452 --> 00:48:37,415
For hundreds of years this fortress
was the center of the Four Lands.
434
00:48:37,540 --> 00:48:40,000
The wisest men and women
from each race,
435
00:48:40,126 --> 00:48:44,130
they were called here to study
and train in the art of magic.
436
00:48:46,549 --> 00:48:47,883
It's just a ruin.
437
00:48:54,765 --> 00:48:59,103
This is sacred ground, Wil.
Don't touch anything.
438
00:49:03,566 --> 00:49:06,777
I don't know what you're hoping
to find. There's not much left.
439
00:49:06,902 --> 00:49:09,196
The Codex of Paranor is here.
440
00:49:09,321 --> 00:49:11,073
What exactly
does a Codex look like?
441
00:49:11,198 --> 00:49:14,285
It is a book containing
the magical history of the Four Lands.
442
00:49:14,410 --> 00:49:17,705
If there is a way of saving the Ellcrys,
it will be found within its pages.
443
00:49:17,830 --> 00:49:20,040
Why don't you just call it
a book of magic?
444
00:49:20,166 --> 00:49:23,878
Is it a Druid requirement that
everything has to sound so mysterious?
445
00:49:41,562 --> 00:49:43,230
I spoke to Lorin.
446
00:49:43,355 --> 00:49:46,150
Amberle told him
the Ellcrys was communicating with her,
447
00:49:46,275 --> 00:49:48,152
giving her visions of the future.
448
00:49:49,153 --> 00:49:51,363
I dismissed it
until I found this in her room.
449
00:49:58,287 --> 00:49:59,121
Demons.
450
00:49:59,246 --> 00:50:01,373
She sketched them
before the Druid showed up.
451
00:50:01,499 --> 00:50:03,000
It can't be a coincidence.
452
00:50:04,877 --> 00:50:06,670
Until we are certain,
I want all the Chosen
453
00:50:06,795 --> 00:50:09,798
and the entire Elvin Council
taken to the palace for safety.
454
00:50:10,591 --> 00:50:12,801
The Black Watch
will guard them night and day.
455
00:50:31,153 --> 00:50:33,697
My mentor told me
he hid the Codex in this chamber
456
00:50:33,822 --> 00:50:35,407
before the Keep fell.
457
00:50:36,492 --> 00:50:40,496
- When was that?
- 300 years ago.
458
00:50:40,621 --> 00:50:44,959
Wait, that would make you
way too old to be alive.
459
00:50:51,048 --> 00:50:52,925
Uncle Flick was right. This is crazy.
460
00:51:00,474 --> 00:51:02,518
The Codex is here.
461
00:51:02,643 --> 00:51:05,646
Good luck finding it.
I'm going to Storlock.
462
00:51:07,565 --> 00:51:09,608
You can't walk away
from your destiny, Wil.
463
00:51:09,733 --> 00:51:11,318
Watch me.
464
00:51:20,494 --> 00:51:22,871
You were never going to Storlock.
465
00:51:23,622 --> 00:51:26,208
The Elfstones were guiding you to me.
466
00:51:29,628 --> 00:51:31,297
You know it to be true.
467
00:51:44,143 --> 00:51:45,644
Don't move!
468
00:51:52,443 --> 00:51:54,653
Don't speak.
469
00:52:01,160 --> 00:52:03,954
Let your eyes bear witness!
470
00:52:45,454 --> 00:52:46,997
And now do you believe?
471
00:53:13,691 --> 00:53:15,275
Magic is real.
472
00:53:15,401 --> 00:53:16,568
Yes.
473
00:53:20,989 --> 00:53:22,408
Will I be able to do that?
474
00:53:24,451 --> 00:53:26,370
One day, maybe.
475
00:53:31,792 --> 00:53:34,795
Behold the Codex of Paranor.
476
00:53:35,587 --> 00:53:36,588
Your hand.
477
00:53:38,048 --> 00:53:41,051
Magic always comes with a price, Wil.
478
00:53:41,176 --> 00:53:42,636
Never forget that.
479
00:53:49,309 --> 00:53:52,563
My ancient Druid's a little rusty.
Maybe you could fill me in.
480
00:53:52,688 --> 00:53:55,399
"When the Ellcrys comes
to the end of its days,
481
00:53:56,400 --> 00:54:00,320
"a flower will bloom
that will bear a single seed.
482
00:54:00,988 --> 00:54:06,452
"A member of the Chosen
must carry that seed to Safehold
483
00:54:07,077 --> 00:54:09,246
"and immerse it in the Bloodfire.
484
00:54:10,330 --> 00:54:15,043
"Only then, can the seed
be returned to the Sanctuary
485
00:54:15,169 --> 00:54:18,088
"and the Ellcrys be reborn."
486
00:54:18,213 --> 00:54:20,090
That doesn't sound so bad.
487
00:54:20,215 --> 00:54:22,801
It's not like you need
a human sacrifice or something.
488
00:54:23,635 --> 00:54:25,012
Where's Safehold?
489
00:54:26,597 --> 00:54:30,225
I've traveled all over these Four Lands
and never come across such a place.
490
00:54:32,895 --> 00:54:33,937
Perhaps...
491
00:56:26,008 --> 00:56:27,009
Hey, Allanon!
492
00:56:27,134 --> 00:56:28,218
It's me, it's me!
493
00:56:32,723 --> 00:56:33,891
Wil,
494
00:56:34,016 --> 00:56:35,726
we must return to Arborlon!
495
00:56:35,851 --> 00:56:37,102
Hurry!
496
00:56:54,494 --> 00:56:55,329
Amberle.
497
00:56:55,454 --> 00:56:56,663
I'm fine.
498
00:56:57,289 --> 00:57:00,042
Listen, the Ellcrys called to me again.
We're all in great danger.
499
00:57:01,001 --> 00:57:03,086
- There is a Demon headed here.
- Demon?
500
00:57:03,211 --> 00:57:05,464
We have to warn the Chosen.
Where are they?
501
00:57:05,589 --> 00:57:07,841
The King moved us
to the east wing of the palace.
502
00:57:07,966 --> 00:57:10,469
I snuck past the Black Watch
to check on the Ellcrys.
503
00:57:12,512 --> 00:57:15,223
I thought I'd lost you.
You have no idea.
504
00:57:51,259 --> 00:57:52,678
Demons in Arborlon?
505
00:57:52,803 --> 00:57:54,846
I never thought I would live
to see the day.
506
00:57:54,972 --> 00:57:57,307
The Chosen must be protected
at all costs.
507
00:57:57,432 --> 00:57:59,142
They alone can save the Ellcrys.
508
00:58:00,686 --> 00:58:03,021
The Black Watch
should be guarding that door!
509
00:58:16,368 --> 00:58:18,578
The Chosen, they're all dead.
510
00:58:18,704 --> 00:58:21,999
No, one still lives.
511
00:59:57,302 --> 00:59:58,762
This must be the work of Gnomes.
512
00:59:59,721 --> 01:00:02,307
They've struck
at the heart of the palace before.
513
01:00:02,432 --> 01:00:04,101
Gnomes had no part in this.
514
01:00:05,352 --> 01:00:07,187
It is the work of the Dagda Mor.
515
01:00:08,605 --> 01:00:09,981
The Dagda what?
516
01:00:10,774 --> 01:00:14,778
He was a powerful Elvin Druid
who was corrupted by dark magic.
517
01:00:15,403 --> 01:00:18,615
He has been plotting his revenge now
for thousands of years.
518
01:00:18,740 --> 01:00:22,160
If he's a Druid, can't you find
and destroy one of your own?
519
01:00:22,285 --> 01:00:23,703
I tried,
520
01:00:23,829 --> 01:00:28,333
but he is cloistered in a black henge
which cloaks his location.
521
01:00:31,086 --> 01:00:32,504
I don't understand.
522
01:00:32,629 --> 01:00:35,674
If he really has escaped the Forbidding,
why doesn't he attack himself?
523
01:00:36,299 --> 01:00:37,926
According to the Codex,
524
01:00:38,051 --> 01:00:40,929
the weaker the Ellcrys gets,
the stronger he becomes.
525
01:00:42,514 --> 01:00:45,058
But he will not be truly free
to walk this Earth
526
01:00:45,183 --> 01:00:47,185
until the last leaf has fallen.
527
01:00:50,689 --> 01:00:53,358
Kill the Chosen, kill the Ellcrys.
528
01:00:55,193 --> 01:00:59,114
Until then, he will dispatch his Demons
to carry out his murderous biddings.
529
01:01:00,282 --> 01:01:02,117
Like he has done here.
530
01:01:03,034 --> 01:01:05,412
Can my father and I
please have the room?
531
01:01:26,433 --> 01:01:28,143
Father, you need
to send this Druid away.
532
01:01:28,268 --> 01:01:29,519
People are starting to talk.
533
01:01:29,644 --> 01:01:31,813
They don't understand
why you're under his thrall.
534
01:01:31,938 --> 01:01:34,816
- You mean you don't understand.
- No, I don't.
535
01:01:34,941 --> 01:01:38,195
Six innocent lives have been
slaughtered inside our walls
536
01:01:38,320 --> 01:01:40,572
and you want to blame
Demons and magic?
537
01:01:41,615 --> 01:01:42,657
What would you suggest?
538
01:01:46,203 --> 01:01:48,205
You had planned to step down
in a few months.
539
01:01:49,247 --> 01:01:50,498
Do it now.
540
01:01:51,708 --> 01:01:53,335
Let me take control of the situation.
541
01:01:53,460 --> 01:01:55,921
Let me do
what I have been training to do.
542
01:01:56,046 --> 01:01:59,382
I will lead the Elvin army
and I will root out our real enemy.
543
01:02:00,842 --> 01:02:01,927
My son...
544
01:02:03,803 --> 01:02:07,140
a true leader does not abdicate
at the start of a crisis.
545
01:02:07,974 --> 01:02:11,311
And as for your training,
it is no match for my experience.
546
01:02:11,436 --> 01:02:14,147
By the time I was your age,
I had won the War of the Races
547
01:02:14,272 --> 01:02:16,107
and I had brought peace
to the Four Lands.
548
01:02:18,151 --> 01:02:20,612
You are the greatest King
since Jerle Shannara.
549
01:02:23,740 --> 01:02:25,158
But...
550
01:02:29,162 --> 01:02:30,664
think of your legacy.
551
01:02:31,414 --> 01:02:33,959
After everything that you have done
for the Elvin people,
552
01:02:34,084 --> 01:02:36,002
do you really want to go down
553
01:02:36,127 --> 01:02:38,171
as the mad king
who believes in Demons?
554
01:02:48,723 --> 01:02:51,059
If Princess Amberle is
the last of the Chosen,
555
01:02:51,184 --> 01:02:52,602
how come the tree can't find her?
556
01:02:52,727 --> 01:02:57,023
The Ellcrys has called to her,
but she needs to return voluntarily.
557
01:02:57,148 --> 01:02:58,733
Nobody can be forced into service.
558
01:02:58,858 --> 01:03:02,195
Can't you use your magic,
like you did at Druids' Keep?
559
01:03:02,320 --> 01:03:04,030
Finding a dusty old book is much easier
560
01:03:04,155 --> 01:03:06,574
than tracking a willful girl
who doesn't want to be found.
561
01:03:08,827 --> 01:03:11,288
I need you to search
the Princess's quarters.
562
01:03:11,955 --> 01:03:13,456
Don't tell anyone of your mission.
563
01:03:13,581 --> 01:03:16,501
The Dagda Mor has an agent
within these walls.
564
01:03:17,127 --> 01:03:19,337
And Wil, don't screw up.
565
01:03:20,130 --> 01:03:24,467
If the Dagda Mor finds Amberle
before we do, the world ends.
566
01:03:26,177 --> 01:03:29,014
Great. Thanks for the encouragement.
567
01:03:42,819 --> 01:03:44,112
Ignore Iggy.
568
01:03:46,573 --> 01:03:50,368
I use him to scare the bark nuts off
any Rover that comes sniffing around.
569
01:03:52,037 --> 01:03:53,747
Aunt Pyria!
570
01:04:00,003 --> 01:04:02,630
You are the spitting image
of your mother.
571
01:04:03,590 --> 01:04:07,719
Now, what are you doing out here?
You could have been kidnapped or killed.
572
01:04:07,844 --> 01:04:10,972
I'm in trouble. I need your help.
573
01:04:12,640 --> 01:04:13,892
How far along are you?
574
01:04:15,185 --> 01:04:16,811
I'm not pregnant.
575
01:04:17,437 --> 01:04:18,438
In your letters...
576
01:04:19,647 --> 01:04:22,525
you said you witnessed magic
during the War of the Races.
577
01:04:25,153 --> 01:04:27,655
That was a very long time ago.
578
01:04:28,365 --> 01:04:30,116
But you still believe in it?
579
01:04:31,201 --> 01:04:32,744
What's really going on, Amberle?
580
01:04:34,037 --> 01:04:35,330
I ran the Gauntlet.
581
01:04:36,664 --> 01:04:38,083
And won.
582
01:04:38,208 --> 01:04:39,584
I became a member of the Chosen.
583
01:04:40,210 --> 01:04:43,004
Your grandfather must be furious.
Good for you!
584
01:04:43,129 --> 01:04:44,881
No, it's a nightmare.
585
01:04:46,174 --> 01:04:49,594
When I laid my hand on the Ellcrys,
I had a vision.
586
01:04:50,512 --> 01:04:52,931
Arborlon in flames,
587
01:04:53,056 --> 01:04:55,809
Demons feasting on the dead.
588
01:04:55,934 --> 01:04:57,852
It was a vision of the future,
589
01:04:58,645 --> 01:05:01,564
a future that's going to happen
because I broke the rules.
590
01:05:02,941 --> 01:05:04,776
You need to help me stop it.
591
01:05:25,839 --> 01:05:27,757
Look what I caught.
592
01:05:34,472 --> 01:05:36,057
Come on, choke!
593
01:05:38,017 --> 01:05:39,227
Eretria!
594
01:05:40,186 --> 01:05:41,312
Eretria!
595
01:05:43,106 --> 01:05:44,107
That's enough!
596
01:05:57,662 --> 01:06:01,458
We scouted that house four nights ago.
I thought you'd double-crossed me.
597
01:06:01,583 --> 01:06:03,418
And risk you putting
a bounty on my head
598
01:06:03,543 --> 01:06:05,503
with every Rover in the Four Lands?
599
01:06:06,463 --> 01:06:08,173
Thanks for the trust.
600
01:06:09,340 --> 01:06:10,550
Where's your haul?
601
01:06:12,177 --> 01:06:14,512
I stripped the place clean,
just as you taught me,
602
01:06:15,513 --> 01:06:17,557
but I got ambushed on the way back.
603
01:06:19,267 --> 01:06:20,310
Ambushed?
604
01:06:20,435 --> 01:06:22,395
They stole my haul with my horse.
605
01:06:22,520 --> 01:06:25,356
Trolls would have eaten you.
Gnomes would have gutted you.
606
01:06:25,482 --> 01:06:27,275
Who was it? Another Rover clan?
607
01:06:28,860 --> 01:06:29,860
An Elf.
608
01:06:32,030 --> 01:06:34,491
An Elf? You should have killed
the arrogant little snot,
609
01:06:34,616 --> 01:06:38,328
cut off its pointy ears
and brought them to me as a souvenir!
610
01:06:38,453 --> 01:06:40,330
Guess you're not cut out
for a heist after all.
611
01:06:40,997 --> 01:06:43,791
It was my first time going solo.
Just give me another shot.
612
01:06:48,546 --> 01:06:51,883
This is a clan, not a charity.
I'm selling you to Boca Madrid.
613
01:06:53,134 --> 01:06:55,803
He wants a wife and
he's had his eye on you for a while.
614
01:06:59,599 --> 01:07:00,599
Cephalo, wait!
615
01:07:01,559 --> 01:07:03,436
I didn't come back empty-handed.
616
01:07:03,561 --> 01:07:05,480
But you've got to promise
not to sell me.
617
01:07:10,902 --> 01:07:13,029
They're one of a kind.
618
01:07:13,154 --> 01:07:14,864
I'm sure you'd get
a good price for them.
619
01:07:16,533 --> 01:07:17,825
- Those are...
- Elfstones.
620
01:07:25,708 --> 01:07:26,709
There's nothing rarer.
621
01:07:29,712 --> 01:07:31,798
There may be hope for you.
622
01:07:31,923 --> 01:07:33,633
Come on, sweetheart.
623
01:07:33,758 --> 01:07:36,553
Why don't you tell your dad
exactly how you got a hold of these?
624
01:08:02,328 --> 01:08:05,206
My son believes
you're leading me astray.
625
01:08:07,667 --> 01:08:09,711
I remember a younger King
626
01:08:09,836 --> 01:08:13,840
who wouldn't allow the whispers
of doubters to cloud his judgment.
627
01:08:14,340 --> 01:08:17,594
Well, we can't all fall asleep
for decades and...
628
01:08:18,595 --> 01:08:21,598
forget that the world
has moved on without us.
629
01:08:27,437 --> 01:08:30,189
We found him trespassing
in the Princess's room.
630
01:08:30,315 --> 01:08:32,567
He insisted on seeing the Druid.
631
01:08:33,109 --> 01:08:34,777
Your Highness.
632
01:08:34,902 --> 01:08:39,157
I think I know where Amberle is hiding.
She's with somebody called Pyria.
633
01:08:39,282 --> 01:08:41,451
Pyria?
634
01:08:41,576 --> 01:08:43,411
No one has heard
from my sister for years.
635
01:08:44,037 --> 01:08:47,248
According to these letters,
she lives in Wing Hove.
636
01:08:48,499 --> 01:08:50,501
Amberle was secretly
corresponding with her.
637
01:08:50,627 --> 01:08:52,879
I found them hidden in her room.
638
01:08:53,004 --> 01:08:56,466
Why would the Princess need
to write in secret to her aunt?
639
01:08:57,800 --> 01:09:00,053
We had a falling-out many years ago.
640
01:09:02,180 --> 01:09:04,891
She fell in love with a Human.
641
01:09:05,016 --> 01:09:08,311
And when she asked
for my blessing, I refused.
642
01:09:08,436 --> 01:09:10,605
Because she didn't love an Elf?
643
01:09:13,107 --> 01:09:15,193
Because she loved you, Allanon.
644
01:09:17,362 --> 01:09:20,698
I thought she understood
that there was no future for us.
645
01:09:21,783 --> 01:09:23,451
Well, evidently, she didn't.
646
01:09:24,952 --> 01:09:29,207
However, thanks to your very capable
young apprentice here,
647
01:09:29,332 --> 01:09:32,418
we now have our best chance
of getting Amberle home safely.
648
01:09:32,543 --> 01:09:35,213
I will instruct the scouts
to go to Wing Hove.
649
01:09:35,838 --> 01:09:36,838
No.
650
01:09:40,176 --> 01:09:42,970
Wil and I will go, alone.
651
01:09:43,096 --> 01:09:44,138
We Will?
652
01:09:45,348 --> 01:09:47,850
Like, inviting a few soldiers
might not be a bad idea.
653
01:09:47,975 --> 01:09:51,479
Whatever killed the Chosen
could still be inside the city walls.
654
01:09:51,604 --> 01:09:53,731
Nobody else is to know
Amberle's location
655
01:09:53,856 --> 01:09:56,150
or her life could be in danger.
656
01:09:56,275 --> 01:09:57,735
As you wish.
657
01:10:05,076 --> 01:10:06,452
What do you think, old boy?
658
01:10:06,577 --> 01:10:08,204
Hm? What do you think?
659
01:10:15,962 --> 01:10:18,297
He said the Elfstones
belonged to his father.
660
01:10:19,215 --> 01:10:21,884
But even he didn't believe
they were magic.
661
01:10:22,009 --> 01:10:23,553
Maybe he was lying.
662
01:10:25,388 --> 01:10:27,515
Where did this halfling say
he was from?
663
01:10:28,433 --> 01:10:30,309
Someplace called Shady Vale.
664
01:10:33,646 --> 01:10:37,233
There used to be stories
about an Elf who lived in the Vale.
665
01:10:37,358 --> 01:10:39,569
He'd gladly tell you his wild tale
666
01:10:39,694 --> 01:10:41,904
of how he single-handedly won
the War of the Races
667
01:10:42,572 --> 01:10:46,826
with nothing but a magic sword
and three humble Elfstones to aid him.
668
01:10:46,951 --> 01:10:50,496
Well, my father taught me not to believe
anything I didn't see with my own eyes.
669
01:10:52,790 --> 01:10:55,418
You think just because
those pointy-eared bastards tell us
670
01:10:55,543 --> 01:10:57,712
that magic's dead,
that's the truth?
671
01:10:58,588 --> 01:11:01,841
What makes you think
I haven't seen it, hm?
672
01:11:02,842 --> 01:11:07,138
Find the halfling
and I promise not to marry you off.
673
01:11:12,477 --> 01:11:14,145
I find him, you grant me my freedom.
674
01:11:57,522 --> 01:11:59,607
So you and the King's sister? Wow.
675
01:12:00,650 --> 01:12:02,944
I never pictured you
as the romantic type.
676
01:12:03,945 --> 01:12:06,781
My relationship with Pyria
is none of your concern.
677
01:12:06,906 --> 01:12:09,158
The age difference
must have been kind of weird.
678
01:12:09,283 --> 01:12:11,327
How old are you, like 350?
679
01:12:11,452 --> 01:12:12,537
Stop talking.
680
01:12:12,662 --> 01:12:14,622
It's the only thing
keeping my mind off the fact
681
01:12:14,747 --> 01:12:18,167
that we could be ripped apart
by rampaging Demons at any moment.
682
01:12:18,292 --> 01:12:19,961
Nobody should die like that.
683
01:12:20,086 --> 01:12:23,840
Well, thanks to you, we have a chance
of finding Amberle and stopping them.
684
01:12:23,965 --> 01:12:25,758
Wow, was that a compliment?
685
01:12:29,428 --> 01:12:31,514
I'm not much of a conversationalist.
686
01:12:31,639 --> 01:12:33,432
As you can tell,
I don't get much practice.
687
01:12:33,558 --> 01:12:36,519
If you don't want to talk about Pyria,
at least tell me about my dad.
688
01:12:42,859 --> 01:12:46,195
I met Pyria because she was
keeper of the royal archives
689
01:12:46,320 --> 01:12:49,448
when I was tracking down
descents of the Shannara bloodline.
690
01:12:49,574 --> 01:12:51,742
- How come?
- They were being murdered.
691
01:12:51,868 --> 01:12:53,286
Of course they were.
692
01:12:54,203 --> 01:12:59,041
I met your father when he was living
in Shady Vale with the Ohmsfords.
693
01:12:59,166 --> 01:13:02,461
He and Flick were like brothers.
694
01:13:02,587 --> 01:13:04,797
Brothers? No way!
695
01:13:04,922 --> 01:13:07,049
Uncle Flick refuses to talk about him.
696
01:13:07,174 --> 01:13:08,593
Your father is the only reason
697
01:13:08,718 --> 01:13:11,888
this world didn't fall into darkness
30 years ago.
698
01:13:12,013 --> 01:13:15,808
His courage and fortitude
inspire me still.
699
01:13:18,060 --> 01:13:21,147
If he's such a hero,
how come nobody remembers him?
700
01:13:21,272 --> 01:13:23,107
Why did he die a sad, lonely drunk?
701
01:13:24,150 --> 01:13:27,361
Well, you might recall I told you
that magic comes with a price.
702
01:13:27,862 --> 01:13:30,281
Your father mastered the Elfstones.
703
01:13:30,406 --> 01:13:35,328
He defeated a terrible evil
and the magic took its toll.
704
01:13:36,579 --> 01:13:38,623
Is that what's gonna happen to me?
705
01:13:39,248 --> 01:13:42,043
Magic affects each person differently.
706
01:13:42,168 --> 01:13:44,253
And you are not your father, Wil.
707
01:13:47,673 --> 01:13:49,258
So, I'm to use Elfstones I don't have
708
01:13:49,383 --> 01:13:51,636
to protect a Princess
who doesn't want to be found
709
01:13:51,761 --> 01:13:54,597
from a Demon horde
bent on laying waste to the world?
710
01:13:54,722 --> 01:13:57,391
And even if I succeed,
which is entirely doubtful,
711
01:13:57,516 --> 01:14:00,686
my life could still be doomed
because magic will have fried my brain.
712
01:14:02,438 --> 01:14:03,272
Mm.
713
01:14:03,397 --> 01:14:05,274
I liked it better when we didn't talk.
714
01:15:04,500 --> 01:15:06,168
Allanon?
715
01:15:06,293 --> 01:15:08,212
We're here for Princess Amberle.
716
01:15:09,839 --> 01:15:11,340
Look, I can't help you.
717
01:15:23,144 --> 01:15:24,562
She's at the waterfall.
718
01:15:26,063 --> 01:15:27,898
Damn your Druid tricks.
719
01:15:28,607 --> 01:15:30,484
Go now, time is precious.
720
01:15:38,993 --> 01:15:40,578
That's Shea's boy, isn't it?
721
01:15:42,538 --> 01:15:44,957
I'm not convinced
he'll be the man his father was.
722
01:15:56,927 --> 01:16:00,222
After all these years, here you are
standing right in front of me,
723
01:16:00,347 --> 01:16:02,808
looking like you haven't aged a day.
724
01:16:03,559 --> 01:16:05,186
How can that be?
725
01:16:05,311 --> 01:16:07,063
The Druids' sleep.
726
01:16:08,230 --> 01:16:11,275
A deep hibernation
that restored my magic.
727
01:16:12,276 --> 01:16:14,278
I was depleted after the war.
728
01:16:15,029 --> 01:16:17,323
I had no choice but to leave.
729
01:16:18,616 --> 01:16:20,117
No choice?
730
01:16:20,993 --> 01:16:24,205
You abandoned me to grow old
without so much as a goodbye.
731
01:16:25,331 --> 01:16:30,086
And now you return
as young and strong as a spring stag.
732
01:16:32,713 --> 01:16:36,634
Amberle told me about the Ellcrys
and her visions.
733
01:16:37,968 --> 01:16:40,846
The situation is more dire
than she knows.
734
01:16:42,223 --> 01:16:43,933
If you're here, I should have guessed.
735
01:16:44,517 --> 01:16:46,685
And right now
the destiny of the Four Lands
736
01:16:46,811 --> 01:16:49,063
rests upon Wil and Amberle's shoulders.
737
01:16:49,188 --> 01:16:52,525
And once again,
you are the puppet master,
738
01:16:52,650 --> 01:16:55,861
manipulating innocent lives
as you see fit.
739
01:17:13,921 --> 01:17:15,631
Princess Amberle!
740
01:17:16,340 --> 01:17:18,092
Princess Amberle!
741
01:17:28,602 --> 01:17:30,020
Princess Amberle!
742
01:17:57,173 --> 01:17:59,383
Uh-uh, eyes up here!
743
01:17:59,508 --> 01:18:00,551
I'm sorry.
744
01:18:00,676 --> 01:18:02,678
Who are you?
745
01:18:04,555 --> 01:18:06,515
You're an Elf?
746
01:18:06,640 --> 01:18:08,225
Half-Elf.
747
01:18:09,018 --> 01:18:10,895
Yes, they're small,
so spare me the ear jokes.
748
01:18:11,020 --> 01:18:13,147
How did you find me?
749
01:18:13,272 --> 01:18:16,150
- Your letters to your aunt.
- You went through my things?
750
01:18:17,401 --> 01:18:19,987
Look, it's really important
you return to Arborlon.
751
01:18:21,947 --> 01:18:23,449
Yeah, that's not gonna happen.
752
01:18:25,284 --> 01:18:28,662
This conversation would be much
less awkward if you were dressed.
753
01:18:31,457 --> 01:18:32,457
Turn around.
754
01:18:35,127 --> 01:18:36,295
OK.
755
01:19:03,614 --> 01:19:04,823
Let's start over.
756
01:19:04,949 --> 01:19:07,159
Who the hell are you
and what are you doing here?
757
01:19:07,284 --> 01:19:08,911
My name is Wil Ohmsford.
758
01:19:09,036 --> 01:19:10,829
I'm here because the Ellcrys is dying
759
01:19:10,955 --> 01:19:12,957
and you are the only one
who can save it.
760
01:19:13,082 --> 01:19:16,126
- The Ellcrys is dying?
- Yes. I know the tree speaks to you.
761
01:19:17,002 --> 01:19:20,047
- Did Lorin tell you that?
- Not exactly.
762
01:19:21,340 --> 01:19:22,591
What aren't you telling me?
763
01:19:22,716 --> 01:19:25,010
I think it's better
if the Druid explains everything.
764
01:19:27,554 --> 01:19:29,098
You're here with a Druid?
765
01:19:30,391 --> 01:19:31,600
I thought they were all dead.
766
01:19:32,393 --> 01:19:34,436
This one just took a very long nap.
767
01:19:34,561 --> 01:19:36,605
Are you his errand boy?
768
01:19:36,730 --> 01:19:39,191
Actually, Allanon brought me along
to protect you.
769
01:19:41,902 --> 01:19:43,570
You're joking, right?
770
01:19:51,203 --> 01:19:54,331
When the sleep calls,
there is no time for goodbyes.
771
01:19:57,126 --> 01:19:59,295
Being a Druid is not a choice.
772
01:20:00,754 --> 01:20:02,256
It's a calling.
773
01:20:03,882 --> 01:20:06,844
You will never know how sorry I am
774
01:20:07,428 --> 01:20:09,513
or how much you still mean to me.
775
01:20:20,232 --> 01:20:21,317
A Fury-
776
01:20:24,111 --> 01:20:25,821
Stay behind me!
777
01:20:38,834 --> 01:20:39,835
Aunt Pyria?
778
01:20:39,960 --> 01:20:41,795
I think we should wait for Allanon.
779
01:20:45,382 --> 01:20:47,301
Aunt Pyria!
780
01:20:51,680 --> 01:20:53,098
Amberle!
781
01:21:06,403 --> 01:21:08,697
Amberle, stay back!
