The Shannara Chronicles

Previously on "The Shannara Chronicles"...

The Ellcrys will bare a seed

that must be carried to a place called Safehold.

Arion, my father, all gone.

And now you are King.

It's like he's inside my head.

- Who? - The Dagda Mor.

Making me do things.

What are those creatures doing here?

The Gnomes come in peace,

to fight the demons as our allies.

It's the Bloodfire, I need to get inside.

Amberle!

The Ellcrys is dying.

As it sheds its leaves, a demon army forms,

preparing to unleash its evil on our world.

We're out of time, Amberle.

The last leaf has fallen in Arborlon.

I can't believe it's really you.

I've been listening to your voice

since I was just a girl.

You were never just a girl.

Every step you've taken was meant to bring you here.

The Bloodfire is the earth's life force.

It's where the past, present, and future meet.

It is your destiny.

But I don't understand.

Why me?

You were chosen, like I once was.

Fate has tied us to the Ellcrys.

As I end, you will begin.

End?

But I can save you, I have the seed.

You are the seed, Amberle.

Eretria?

Don't do this to me.

I can't lose you too, I won't.

No... no.

Amberle...

Oh my God.

Wil, what happened?

You lost too much blood.

I thought you were...

But the stones brought you back.

I guess you're a healer after all.

Where is she?

Uh...

She didn't make it out.

We need to open it back up.

Amberle!

I warned you your feelings for Wil

would hold you back.

You must be willing to let him go.

There has to be another way.

Oh, this is the only way.

You must choose.

You must choose to sacrifice yourself.

I said no!

I'm sorry, I can't, I just can't.

Then you have doomed us all.

Amberle!

Hey, what happened in there?

It's hard to explain.

But you have the seed?

But the last leaf has fallen in Arborlon.

The Dagda Mor is free.

The Princess has emerged from the Bloodfire.

She's coming home?

Yes, but the Dagda Mor is aware of her presence.

So we must prepare.

I'll send word to the Scouts.

Move the citizens to the tunnels

and mobilize the army.

That would be the wise decision, Your Highness.

I'm still not used to people calling me that.

Only a king knows the weight of a crown.

30 years ago,

I stood under very similar circumstances

beside your father.

Did you have any words of inspiration for him?

Don't fail.

Anyone remember how to get out of this place?

I'm working on it.

And when we do, how do we get back to Arborlon?

Nobody said it was gonna be easy.

We're gonna make it, we just have to...

Run!

The Demons outnumber us a thousand to one.

We cannot beat them in the field,

which means restoring the Ellcrys is our only hope.

Allanon assures me that Amberle has the seed

and is on her way.

Slanter, your men will form a perimeter

and push into the woods beyond the Sanctuary.

Commander Tilton and I will take the Elvin army

and fortify the Sanctuary itself.

We'll be the last line

of defense for whatever breaks through.

Wil, help me!

We have to go!

Let's go!

Help me close this thing!

It's stuck!

Just leave it, we can outrun them!

What are you doing?!

Hey! No!

I bought you some time.

Use it!

You can't do this.

We have to go back together.

No, you have to go back.

Don't you get it?

We all have a part to play.

I'm doing mine, and now it's up to you.

Wil, stop.

No, I'm not leaving you here.

That's insane.

Wil, it's not up to you.

I'll come back for you, I promise.

Go!

Wil!

Wil, we have to go.

She wants us to go.

For the boy, King Ander's orders.

I never meant to hurt you.

It's okay, it's okay.

How can I help?

I need you to get me far away,

somewhere where I can't hurt anybody.

Bandon, I can't.

Catania... do you trust me?

Yes.

Then, get ready to scream.

Give me the keys or I snap her neck.

Now!

Drop the sword.

Step back.

Just let us go,

he's not going to hurt you.

Don't touch her!

No!

No!

Bandon, stop!

Stop! No!

Stop!

He shouldn't have touched you.

Nothing from the scouts.

We should head down.

The men will wanna see you.

We were supposed to get married, remember?

Once upon a time.

Well, I never officially agreed to that.

I'm sorry it took the end of the world

for me to realize what a fool I've been.

It's time.

Lead the way, Commander.

I have never been so happy to see anything

in my entire life.

No...

We can't get through, not on horseback.

Not without them seeing us.

No, there has to be a way.

We have to get to the Ellcrys.

All right, we'll need cover then.

We need to find somewhere safe to wait for dark.

I know somewhere, come on.

Thanks.

Wil...

It won't be long.

I know, I just...

I wanted to tell you that I...

that I wish things could be different.

You know, I wish we could...

I wish we could have met before all this.

Hey... we made it.

We're almost home.

And when we finish this,

when everyone's safe,

we'll have all the time in the world
