The first 190 lines.
You told them all you were dead.
Did you think that protects them?
Just makes them easier for Ishamael to get to.
- No! -
The more wolf you are,
the more you're mine.
What are you?
- Where will we go now? - Falme.
Mat, you can't go. You kill Rand.
This "tea" shows you things.
Lets you glimpse your past lives.
And through all of that,
the real one.
Damn prick like him.
Did you feel it?
Our affinity?
I could never hurt you.
You will never leave me.
I will kill you.
What do you think it'll do?
- - I don't know,
but I hope it hurts.
Turak has a room of curiosities.
It's barely guarded.
The Horn is what matters, Builder.
Aren't you worried I'll betray you?
Will you?
They would never turn.
I thought that, too, once.
Tell me what he's planning.
What do you think Rand will do
when he sees his friends are all lost?
Tell me!
He will break.
But why Falme, of all places?
The Dragon is supposed to proclaim himself there.
They want everyone to know who I am
before they try to kill me.
I don't want to do this again.
Not to you.
The others will know you're coming.
I already have them...
...Moghedien, Sammael, and the rest of the Forsaken.
This is our chance, Lews.
To break the wheel, make it stop.
You really think I'd do that?
All the people we love would die.
They'll die no matter what you do.
So, go ahead.
Kill me.
And you and I can dance this dance again in our next lives.
I don't want to do this again.
I'm not going to kill you.
They say you will be conscious, but not aware.
Like a dream.
They say this seal is so strong, not even I could break it.
No.
No. Lews.
Please.
I know how much you hate being alive.
And for that, I am so very, truly sorry, my friend.
But...
I don't want to...
do this again.
We only have a few hours to take the Tower.
That's where they'll keep the witches fighting with them.
Until we kill them, there's no hope of taking the city.
Our scouts estimate they have 28 of the women with them.
No one said it would be easy.
Our enemy outnumbers us, they are better supplied,
better armed, better fortified,
but we have something they don't.
That's all for now.
Why do you pretend we can win?
There's tens of thousands of them, Father.
Should we give up?
The Watchers on the Waves called for help,
letters to every queen, every king in the world,
to the Amyrlin Seat herself,
begging,
but no one came.
You did.
These strangers are slavers and murderers.
We fight them because we must.
You think there's a chance the prophecy is true?
They say in Falme's greatest moment of need,
the Dragon will return to us.
"Above the Watchers shall the Dragon be proclaimed,
bannered cross the sky in fire."
Prophecies are just the lies of long-dead witches.
You two are being very quiet back there.
Should I worry?
This is it?
The Waygate to Falme?
- Open it. - Why don't you?
Ishamael took my power from me.
Ooh, you are so good at twisting your words in knots.
I know you've got it back. I can see it in you.
You're alive only because I allow it.
Because you have a role to play still.
When the time comes, raise the banner.
Where are we?
You channeled in the Ways!
Machin Shin.
- Open it. - There are faster ways
to Falme than this, even,
but I can't take all that dead weight with us.
How can you think I'd ever trust you again?
I'm the only one who actually cares about you, Rand.
Everyone else-- Ishamael, Moiraine--
they just care about what you can do.
Come with me.
Do I have any choice?
You know who I am.
Now close your eyes.
That doesn't belong here.
This will be a long morning, I think.
What does that mean?
Many people will wake from the dream today.
Stay.
It's not safe.
I'll be back.
What are you doing here?
I brought Rand.
Now?
To Falme?
Oh, don't be upset.
We're nowhere close to ready.
Listen to me. I know you.
You will be putting this off for years.
Each time saying, "Just one more piece to put in place."
You're delaying the inevitable.
It will either happen or it won't.
No amount of time or planning will change that.
He's not going to choose us,
it's too soon.
He's ready.
I told him that I'd help him kill you.
Will you?
If he's going to join us,
he needs to see that we aren't all the same.
Why did I wake you?
Oh, sweetheart, it's because you know you need me.
I balance you.
And I you.
What is that?
Can't see anything.
Close the gates!
To the Tower!
Hyah.
[Seta crying, mumbling incoherently]
How do I look?
It's good.
What now?
Now she's going to tell us everything
about the place they call the kennels.
Take your spot in battle.
The city is under attack from Whitecloaks.
The High Lady has ordered all sul'dam and damane
to take part in the defense.
Your behavior in this cell is one thing,
but when a damane disobeys
orders in battle,
the first punishment is to take her tongue.
The second, her hands.
Now stand!
I said stand.
Perhaps it'll hurt more if I take this.
Now... come.
My master, you called for me.
Lanfear's betrayed us.
But she's sworn to him.
There are many paths to walk through the night.
I'll have to remove her from the board.
How?
The Great Lord gave her eternal life.
That's for me to worry about.
I have another task for you.
The Dragon might not swear his oaths.
We haven't had enough time.
But you need him to break the Wheel.
He'll only break the Wheel if he turns to the Dark.
And he'll only turn if he thinks
it'll save his friends from doing the same.
We forced them toward it today.
I may have to wait until his next life.
I suppose I have nothing if not time.
- Would you like me to kill him? - No.
I know who kills him.
And what he uses to do it.
