Legend of Earthsea (2004) s01e02 Episode Script
Episode 2
Previously on Legend of Earthsea Father, I wish to study with Ogion to be a wizard.
You are Sparehawk.
Take it, in remembrance of your mother.
I hope you'll find her.
Find who ? The girl you've been dreaming about.
I hereby bestow The Keys to the next High Priestess.
Come to me, sister Tenar And receive the tokens of your office.
Welcome to Roke.
May your stay here be profitable to you and to Earthsea.
to control life is the greatest power of all.
Mother Thar refuses to take her medication.
a few drops concealled in her tea.
All of Earthsea shall be ours.
Allright, Blacksmith ! What about summoning a spirit from the dead ? Before you speak, or do, you must know the consequences ! have you any idea what happened here ?! You brought a being of utter evil into the world, whose only objective will be to find you and devore your soul ! I brought you into this world and I will take you out of it ! TERREMER When Earthsea's thousand and one islands were born The Nameless ones ruled as their evil energy engulfed the planet.
Until a powerful amulet was forged from the faith of the devout order of Priestesses.
which kept Earthsea at peace and the Nameless Ones restreined deep beneeth the Temple.
on the Island of Atuan.
But then the Amulet was broken And evil in the form of Kargid invaders questing to govern the world Spread accross Earthsea like a plague.
Leaving only the Priestesses faith and prayer to guard the door and keep the Nameless Ones contained.
An ancient prophecy told of a young wizard who would someday arise to reunite the Amulet and bring a lasting peace to the world of Earthsea.
No don't die I heard you cried out.
It's ok Rosa.
It was just a dream.
Is Mother Thar awake up ? I was just on my way to her chambers.
To cool her fever.
I'm gonna go with you.
The island of Vemish What do you want ? Some shelter for a weary traveler.
You'd better come in.
Getting quite nasty out there.
May I offer you some roast ? I was hoping for something of greater sustainance.
I have to admit, my dear Kossil From women I'm really satisfied to please, but you've made it into a science.
I've had the perfect specimen upon which to concentrate my studies.
Quite true.
And has the Venable Mother illness brought her any closer to naming a successor ? Sire.
There's been a slight wrinkle in my plan.
" Wrinkle " ? What wrinkle ? She named sister Tenar to succeed her.
She what ?! How could you let this HAPPEN ?! It was no fault of mine.
That's skimming little worm bent Thar to her will.
A task I set to YOU, I recall.
Do you have any idea how upset I will be ? If the secrets of the Nameless Ones are denied to me ! I can imagine.
But I do have a plan.
You "HAD" a plan, Kossil Give me this one last chance, I promess I will not fail you.
Thar will not only regret her decision but She will beg for my assistance.
Very well Is there any chance Tenar's visions could draw the wizard to ours will ? My thoughts exactly ! I which case He would be delivered to me on the same platter As my Immortality.
Would he not ? Our immortality, your Majesty.
"Our" immortality.
And now would you care to continue our research ? And it is the same person in every visions ? Yes.
And this is though I didn't want him to die.
The meaning of this vision will become apparent one day.
I hope.
For now We should get some rest.
Tomorow will be an important day for I intent to show you the Labyrinth.
And share with you that which has been past on to me.
I pray that I'm worthy.
Rest now, Mother.
Bless you.
You have no idea How much you kindness has meant to me during all those last weeks.
Don't you be feeling better by now ? Its awful God.
Even the children Who do such things ?! Make way for the Magus.
has anything been touched ? No Magus.
Make silence.
What is this ? I said silence.
This is my doing just watch.
Now The murderer.
Oh no Who is it ? - I thought you were at the Kargid fortress ? - I was, I've only just returned.
I was checking to see if Tenar had another of her visions.
Oh she did in fact.
In this one it seems the young wizard was drowned.
Well.
That's not all bad.
And what may I ask you were doing in the Tenar's chamber ? I was only coming to check on her well being ! Were you ? Well Perhaps, we should discuss this in the morning.
Oh No you dumb ! You keep your pulse to yourself you dumb ! You look like you need a drink, my friend.
- Did see a ghost or something ? - Ah, in truth, I think I have ! Would you know the farmer Gladdy ? He live's a place outside Istemere.
Sure.
I know the man.
We just found him and his clan dead.
What ?! Robbers ? Nooo It's no robbers ! Monsters ! They were goated like chickens ! I saw it with my own eyes ! The whole lot ?! Four all of them And two travellers up on the cliffs Anyone seen who done it ?! No, the magus conjured him We saw his image standing here as he was ! It might be here by now, in the town.
Enought of that ! What does he look like ? He has a scar.
Magus ! Go quickly, Sir.
- The killer, he's here ! - Where ? In the town, he sliped out the tavern, he's been followed.
Call the shire reeve, you found out who the killer was, this isn't enought ? No sister.
This is something I must do.
Bar the door.
Let no one enter.
This way ! Those barrels ! Come on the right side ! He's got to be here ! HERE HE IS ! There he is ! Vetch ! - You've caught the wrong man I've done nothing ! - Except slit six people from end to end - monster ! - I did not.
I swear ! It has devored you, hasn't it ? The shadow ! I am not the Gebbeth.
I swear, now let me go ! Let me go ! (the) Magus done it ! Well done Magus.
You know him, Sir ? I knew the poor soul whose body this thing has taken.
He would have torn us apart if you had not stopped him, master wizard ! Three cheers for the Magus ! NO ! This is no cheering matter ! The evil spirit my friend has raised has taken over his body, devored him from within.
He deserves our pity.
He deserves to die ! Drown him ! That might be too kind.
I think he may welcome it.
Die DIE !.
Die ! Wait ! Astarion All may not be as it seems carry him to my house ! No ! Do as I say, or I'm not the Magus of this îsland ! Allright Not wise ! Listen, I'm sorry.
I hope I wasn't too rough on you with that spell.
I only hope I can return the favor.
Not bad, eh ? At least, you seem to have sliped through the worst of it.
- The water's getting cold, wanna give me some warm ? - Yes Master ! (I) feel my shoulders' any every muscles are shreded ! You know Vetch, you should do some more hard work, your hands start to feel like girl's.
Although you do have the massage thing down Ged of Ten Alder May I introduce my sister Yarrow.
Hi.
A stone ? You tighed a stone to a rope ?! Primitive but effective.
If need be Vetch, I was prepared to die with that creature.
It didn't work out the way I planned.
No it didn't, didn't it ? As of course it has stolen something from me.
Your face.
Yes.
So now you're a fugitive because of his terrible crimes.
Aye.
So what you gonna do now ? Stay in the hunt, I suppose.
Where will you go ? I don't know.
I feel as if I'm being pulled To the east.
And how you know that you've got to go where you're going ? Not sure.
That's settle then.
Wherever the Gebbeth pulls you is where I am going.
No.
Vetch she's right.
This isn't your battle.
You can't do it by yourself, old friend You've already proven that beyond a doubt ! I was there when you released the shadow and I shall be present when you defeat it.
What if I never do ? - This is my du- - You think we met by chance down on the seashore ? - And what was it but chance ?! - Untranslated subtitle - There's no such things as chance meeting in the life of wizards kind, you know that ! We quest together and that settle the question.
What if you're killed doing it ? Then I'd had following the right path, little sister.
Wouldn't you had me do what's wise ? Yes, I'd like you live.
So do I, Arrow.
But once your brother made up his mind, it's hard to change it.
Let me make you a pledge that if it's in my power to do so I'll bring him safely back.
I sometimes fear that I'm not strong enough to bear the weight of these keys.
The weight bears not in only shape of these keys, my child.
the real weight is here to be lead on your shoulders.
Go in.
All the tunnels here look the same So you must count.
for as complex and elaborate it might seems, once you know the pattern, it is rather simple.
You take the first 3 right then 2 left then 1 right.
Have you been counting ? Lead the way.
Once the Amulet was destroyed, it was only this labyrinth But more importantly our great faith and prayer that kept Earthsea safe.
But this evil wizard he may be more powerful than all our prayers.
That is why it is so important that we need our Order retain courage.
and maintain the strenght of your faith.
Good.
Well done.
So far.
It's hard to beleive that I'm actually here.
Learning the secrets of this sacred tomb.
Growing as an orphan and being taken in to study was a miracle enough but.
.
But the idea of that insignificant little girl.
.
There is nothing insignificant about you Tenar.
I sensed your potential even then when you first arrived.
Wide-eyed and ragged and full of hope and fear.
And not an insignificant amount of defiance.
Thanks for let she took her chance Venerable Mother.
I was an orphan when I first arrived at the Temple of Atuan as a scholary maid.
No ?! Indeed.
So you see our past, our destiny is not that dissimillar.
This is overwhelming Mother.
and I must admit a bit frightening.
You must never embrace fear.
The only other time I've been in this place was this horrible night.
This is the the way to which I refer to : The mantle that is not your destiny to bear.
What I'm about to tell you holds the most secret power of our Order It must never be heard out of loud to anyone ! But your successor.
Who I hope you will choose as wisely as I beleive I've choosen my.
The Magus of Gont, where is he ? I don't know ! Very nice.
Something to warm the ice-cold neck of your wizard perhaps ? We know he sailed there out of port with your brother.
What we need to know is the destination.
I don't know.
Please.
They may have traveled west.
Only you can always count on this for a woman to lie.
They most certainly sail east.
Let's go.
No time for that ! We must alert the king.
At this moment I hand on the tailer I feel compelled to ask just where we might be heading ? Just keep it steady.
This Gebbeth has an uncanny knack in drawing me to it.
- He'll find us.
- That's reassuring.
While we're waiting for the Shadows beacon maybe we can occupy our time with more pleasurable fare ? - Like food, perhaps ? - Exactly.
And women of course but you don't seem to give much thoughts to that either.
It's not true.
What's this ? Our Ged has a girl ?! No Not exactly.
At least I don't think so.
Never actually mattered I've only seen her in my dreams.
I got a baby-doll myself.
Vetch, this is the same girl, over and over again.
I mean it's strange.
She infuses to me in visions, dreams.
As if I'd know her.
She's always wandering in the same passageway.
The real story of the Amulet is that one of my successors fell in love with a Kargid King and plotted with him to destroy the Amulet.
I've read that but I don't understand ! Why did she do such a thing ?! Because They beleived by that conviting this montrous acte, they would release the Nameless Ones.
Yeah, but to what end ? To no end.
They beleived that would bring them immortality.
Foolish notion.
Why didn't it released the Nameless Ones ? Because, my dear child They misjudged the power of our Order's faith.
That very spirit that we teach and dedicate ourselves to every day of our life, is still the keeper of the Gate.
And what became of the Amulet ? Some tales have her realising her folly fleeing in a small boat with one half of the Amulet a huge storm swallowed her up and she dissapeared.
Why don't we teach this ?! There's a lesson to be learned here ! And as you've always said We must learn from our mistakes.
I suppose It is human nature to obscure The most shameful aspects of once History, but You're right.
There's lessons to be learnt from the truth.
You have my permission to teach it to the novices.
Kossil ? It's time for afternoon prayers, Venerable Mother.
I feel very weak.
Do you mind leading them for me ? I Live to serve only, Venerable Mother.
I need to lie down.
Rosa, my tea.
Now then Rosa Why don't you tell me what's been troubling you ? It's nothing, really.
Come on now.
The bond between us is far to strong for secrets.
I think The medication The drops I pour in Venerable Mother's tea each day You said it would make her better but each day she only seems to get worse.
Your point being ? I think the medication is harming her.
Do you ? Well.
We must discontinue it.
Be on the safe side.
But we've medicated it her without her permission or knowledge.
- We must confess it.
.
- We must confess it.
- Confess ?! To whom ? But to Venerable Mother and to sister Tenar, her successor.
There no need for that Rosa I forgive you.
I forgive us both.
It's not enought.
What do you mean not enough ? - Am I not enough for you ? - I didn't mean it that way.
We must always be clear in our meaning, sweet Rosa.
And this is what I mean.
Vetch ! Please no more mocking.
Vetch wake up ! We've arrived.
The Gebbeth ? On the island.
He's expecting me.
Only now he's gonna get even more than he expected.
It look singularly Uninviting.
May be This is why we must go.
What was that ? The Gebbet ? No.
It's not-- It's a dragon.
- You didn't say that was going to be any dragons.
- I didn't know ! But you don't seem too surprised ! This Gebbeth hasn't a habit of luring me to date.
And you it seems has made a habit of following ! - Did you see those red markings on the side of the- - Yes, very attractive ! I read about a dragon once with markings like those ! Fascinating, you tell me about the fire one day.
Wait a minute.
Red markings ?! Like the dragon of Rabish's tabular ? That's the one, do you remember its True Name ? The one to bind it ! Once that if you do it well you can ask it any three questions you desire ? Yes ! I'm afraid not ! - I think it was Eworle.
- I think not.
- Then what do you think it was ? - I don't know but we must dive low ! - I think we'll only get one go with this.
- So what do you suggest ? We learned this in the Island of Teoh.
Aum-Embar ! I speak your True Name, Aum-Embar and I order you to submit ! TWO QUESTIONS, YOU CAN ASK ME, WIZARD.
AND TWO ONLY.
Isn't it usually three ? CORRECT.
BUT IN FACT YOU'RE BACK TO TWO.
Allright then.
Tell me where I can find the Gebbeth.
THE GEBBETH HAS FLED TO THE TOMBS OF ATUAN.
A VERY DANGEROUS PLACE.
AND YOUR LAST QUESTION ? Tell me its True Name, so that I may overcome him ! I'D BE DELIGHTED TO GIVE YOU THAT INFORMATION IF IN FACT YOUR PREFERENCE IS TO PUT YOUR OWN SAFETY BEHIND THE FATE OF EARTHSEA.
IF YOU HAD THE ABILITY TO REUNITE THE AMULET OF PEACE WOULD YOU NOT DO SO ? Of course ! But that's not possible.
ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE.
IF YOU DEEM IT SUCH.
Ged, it's a trick.
Just get the Gebbeth's True Name.
YES A DISAGREABLE DILEMMA What option do I have ? Ged.
Think before you leap.
Where can I find the pieces of the Amulet ? VERY WELL THEN RETURN TO EVIL PLACE OF BIRTH.
THERE THE PUZZLE WILL TEST YOU WORTH.
WHAT YOU SEEK IS WITHIN YOUR GRASP.
BUT THE ACT OF FINDING IT MAY BE YOUR LAST.
A riddle ?! I've traded my life for a riddle what does it mean ?! LAST QUESTION IS OVER LIMIT ! EVEN WASTED THE FIRST ONE.
YOU MIGHT NOT LEAVE HERE WITH THE GEBBETH'S TRUE NAME WELL THAT'S WHAT YOU GET TRYING TO MAKE WITS WITH A DRAGON ! You worry about facing the Gebbeth ? Or is it Jasper ? No I think about the island of Eve.
Eve ? Where the myths were born The White Towers of Havnor the rough folks of the south bend never come to land.
and the Ice Falls to the north.
I would like to see the Ice Falls.
You'll see the Ice-Falls.
I tried to discern light from the shadow, Vetch.
I grasped for power and this is where it brought me.
Which is fine.
As long as we bring this thing to an end.
Well At least you got to see Vemish.
Vemish.
Rosa Rosa ! Rosa ? Sisters ! SISTERS COME ! ( Mother's calling ! ) ( Hurry ! ) Tenar ?! Oh no ! Sire.
This has just arrived from the island of Sattins.
" Mast seen sailing east.
" - To Roke, General.
- Sire.
WE MAKE FOR ROKE ! ( Yessir ! ) "What you seek is within your grasp" " but the act of finding it may be you last.
" Not a very encouraging prospect.
Do you think the Amulet would be here ?! The town seems more subdued now that the Kargids patrol Don't you think Vetch ? Vetch ? Hey Vetch ?! With the fate of Earthsea resting in the balance You stop to eat ?! I'm hungry ! How that would do Earthsea better good if we starve to die ? You hardly look like a starving man my friend.
But No point in taking chances.
Let's come.
Poor vretch.
I can never understand how man can cruelly mock those less fortunate Does it not occur to them how easely fate could have put them in this state ?! You again Sparrowhawk You remember me.
Astarion Glad to see not much has change around here.
Save for a few kindly Kargids, I wonder how much magic they've learned.
Hey.
What on Earthsea you two doing here ?! It's a long story.
I don't know if you've heard but when the Kargids took over they killed our Archmagus ! Yeah, Ged had a vision.
We just come from Sattins.
A dragon directed us here.
[ Jasper'voice.]
(WELL !! ) I see we have a pair of distinguished alumni among us ! And to what, exactly, do we owe this unexpected pleasure ?! No matter We shall take this off in my chambers.
Guards ! You can leave them.
I'll be fine.
What I'm about to reveal to you must never leave this room.
Is that understood ? Very well then.
Archmagus ?! How ? Come now, Ged.
Did you really think that a mere dagger could be the instrument of my demise ? You must bring word of this to no one.
the time is not yet safe for my return.
But Where is the real Jasper ? Crossing the town square did you per chance happen upon a village fool ? Yes but-- That was Jasper ?! To think I actually felt sorry for him.
I thought it was the fitting punishment.
So tell me Ged, how goes it ? Well Sir, I'm still alive.
That's a very good sign.
But what has brought you back here ? It's a compendium of toxins.
You must beleive me, I've never seen that before ! Beleive you ? Is it just a coïncidence that you were implicated by Rosa's dying letter ? And then we find this here ? Bring her to Mother Thar's chamber.
I am broken hearted by your treachery.
But I am innocent.
Then how do you explain this foil of poisons found in you room ? I cannot.
I can only imagine that it was placed there by someone who wished me ill.
Dear Thar, but what motive would I have to harm you ?! That is between you and your conscience.
And I took you in Treated you as I would a daughter.
Made you my Successor ! How could I not see the malice you arbored ?! Rosa's last words And her honor betrayed your plot ! Have you anything to say, Tenar ? I would not have thought that you could so easely dismiss your own feelings.
I was blinded by those feelings.
But no longer.
I release you of all your duties.
And strip you of all the authorities with which I invested you.
The Keys.
Surely it doesn't end there, Mother Thar ! She ought to be locked up, for the protection of us all.
See that that is done.
You will wait my final judgement.
Take her away.
So the exact line is " What you seek is within your grasp.
" Well.
Though that may be lose to admit it, even dragons know that the whole world is conceivably within a wizard's grasp.
So perhaps we should look at this more litterally.
What personnal possessions do you cary with you at all times ? Only this.
Let me have it.
Lady Elfarran's Amulet of Peace.
I'd never dreamt my eyes would one day look upon it.
How did you come by it ? On the island of Gont.
My first teacher, she gave it to me.
The priestess who split the Amulet was rumored to have perished out the sea.
Could this have been she ? I don't know.
It was said that she just turned up years ago after a great sea storm.
She didn't know who she was, but she taught me everything she knew.
And without knowing it entrusted all Earthsea to your care.
Do you recognize those symbols ? They are runes In an archaic form I haven't studied since I was a boy.
They translate to a simple rhyme.
" When the Nameless Tomb become unsealed.
The Amulet's key will be revealed ".
Nameless Tombs ? That would be at the Temple, on the island of Atuan.
Then that is where we must go.
A dangerous place.
Protected by Kargid barbarians.
The Temple will diminish your magic, so be very careful once you get there.
If they don't get him first.
Kargids coming ! Don't worry.
Prepare yourself to travel.
Will you be alright ? I'll be fine, Ged.
Good luck.
I want all floor searched ! Yes Sire ! Your highness.
Quickly, they'll escape ! Where are the fugitive wizards ? That's what I mean, you must have passed them, just now in the mo-- Not that I saw 'em.
What exactly is your part in this ? - "Master Jasper".
- Nothing, your Majesty.
They held me at knife point.
To the market ! 'course, the other half of the Amulet isn't secreted away in some flowery meadow.
Next to a babbling broc.
No ! Had to be in the Tombs of Atuan.
The very home of Tygath and his bloodthirsty Kargide horde ! - Not to mention the Gebbeth.
- Not to mention ! Although We are wizards after all.
The least we should bear a little is get by a few Kargids.
Exactly.
You there ! On whose authority are you here ? Yours Captain.
Don't you recognize us ? Of couse, um Sun blinded me for a moment.
What news do yo bring ? News King Tygath want to hear, Sir.
You'd better hurry up and tell him, then.
And report back here to me after you'd delivered the message.
Yes, Captain.
Whatever demons Rosa was struggling with She thought to be hers alone.
And thus she succombed to them.
We all have our demons.
But if we face them together We can prevail.
For each other.
For our sisterhood ! Farewell.
Dearest Rosa.
May your soul Find in death the peace that eluded you in life.
Should we do what we did at the harbor ? Or maybe not be seen at all.
Even better.
- You're ready ? - Yeah.
This is a real tribute to our Roke training.
I'm just trying to break the tension, that's all.
It's like the magic is weakening ! - Having may be we missed a class ? - Run ! What of Tenar, Mother ? That she's safely confined is enough for now.
Until I decide her fate.
What if you should Of course I pray that you don't but If you should leave us before that time.
Then my Successor will make that decision.
And have you give it any thought to who that might be ? In due time, Kossil, In due time ( I'll miss you Rosa.
) Thank you for the concern.
The Archmagus was right.
Wizard magic will not be enough at this place.
There's another power here.
It's not magic but a great power for good.
It make sense, this is where the Amulet of Peace came from.
So Where we'll find it ? The Temple of Atuan, you must go under.
Look at this stairs.
Come on.
I wonder if the Gebbeth wait here.
The Gebbeth, I almost forgot about him ! I will pledge he hasn't forgot about you.
I remember this from my dream.
Was it locked in your dream ? Because it is now.
Well, we can try a standard spell.
I didn't what.
- I have nothing to say to you, Kossil.
- But I have much to say to you.
Then you'll be wasting your time.
Time A concept to which you really ought to give some thought, dear Tenar.
For present your fate is that of a swift execution, or To rot in this cell until you're old and hagard.
You're not thinking what I think you're thinking, are you ? The Archmagus said the Shapeshifting is only risky if you do it too often.
You think we can muster up enough wizard power to pull it off.
May be if we concentrate together.
I can offer you freedom.
Only Mother Thar can do that.
I have her ear.
And soon, given her state of health - I should have her bless-- - A "state of health" brought on by you ! Mere conjecture.
But I forgive you.
What do you want of me ? Give me the incantation and I'll give you your freedom.
Then I guess we both must go without.
Not now, Vetch ! The spell will not hold.
See ? Now will you listen when I say you pants ? Get it ! - Who goes there ?! - Bind him ! Hey Ged, are you there ? It wasn't so bad, being a rat ! Except for maybe this annoying itche for cheese.
Are you coming ? Ged ? You're not coming, aren't you ? So, I guess I have to do this by myself.
Allright Vetch.
Your move.
The Amulet Hmmm There's gonna be some way to make sense of this.
Venerable Mother.
We found him trying to break into the Labyrinth.
Explain yourself.
He refuses to speak.
We don't hold thieves, in custody here.
In fact we send them to the Kargide fortress.
for execution.
Why are you here ? I came not in search of plunder but in search of peace.
In the form of an Amulet.
Ridiculous ! That Amulet was destroyed long ago.
She speaks the truth.
The fate of Earthsea depends on the finding of this Amulet.
What makes you think you're the one for this task ? I was told by a Dragon.
Pfff ! Only fools listen to Dragons.
It requires a wizard to reunite the Amulet I am a wizard.
Oh, the evil wizard.
I don't understand.
There's nothing to understand.
If you had come to me directly with this tale, instead of sneaking in like a criminal I might have giving it more credance.
As it stands I should have to have you confined until I arrive at the truth of this matter.
Take him to a cell.
Venerable Mother You health fails you.
For the sake of the Order You must name a successor ! And that successor would be you ? Who else ? Why Why have you been so intent in this successor issue ? It was you, not Tenar.
Give me the incantation ! The incantation ? You hope I will give you Immortality ? I am dying, Kossil.
I am dying and you've seen to that.
we don't the vestment of our Sistehood.
We were all set on a path.
You too, Kossil.
A path of peace.
And forgiveness.
Somehow you've lost this path, I hope you'll find it again.
I forgive you.
DON'T DIE ! Give me the incantation ! Give it to me ! Send for Tygath, he's to come at once.
Tell him I'm on the verge of obtaining all that he desires.
And I have his wizard.
(Who are you ? ) I can barely hear you.
Come to your door.
Hello.
I said who are you ? Ged of Ten Alders.
And what is your position in life, Ged, of Ten Alders ? I'm a blacksmith.
And you ? My name is Tenar.
I am I was a priestess.
Why are you locked up ? How do I know to trust to you ? That you haven't been put here to gain my confidence ? Yes, they are desesperate to learn the great secrets of blacksmithing.
What have you done to be here ? I didn't do anything.
Someone bought false witness against me.
And what would be your fate ? I don't know.
I have to rely on my faith to see me through it.
Faith ? I never had much use for that in my life.
I've always beleived magic to be stronger than faith.
My only beleif is in the ability to control my own destiny.
So Being locked up here was part of your plan ? Could be.
Allright, no.
The faith would not have been my salvation.
Now, that's debatable.
But at least we have something in common.
And that would be ? Getting out.
( Hail King Tygath ! ) Yes, Yes.
I want increased patrols on the islands of Roke, Vemish and Gont ! That which wizard is bound to come home for roost ! This was just received, Sire.
"Ged" "of Ten Alders" "At the Tombs of Atuan.
" Well.
It seems our little bird is indeed coming home to roost.
And in my nest.
Allright Vetch, don't panic.
Could just go back to where you came.
Or choose at random.
What are you doing over there, blacksmith ? Practicing my trade.
Almost, damn it ! I'm out.
Just keep an eye while I work on your cell.
That's amazing ! How did you do that ?! You question the worth of a blacksm- ? You ! You.
- The evil wizard of my nightmares ! .
- The evil wizard of my nightmares ! - " Evil " ?! You're sure you have the right person ? I saw you On a hilltop conjuring evil ! You saw it, then.
I was real ?! It was an act of anger and pride.
A foolish act of youth.
I've aged, since that, and paid.
The Gebbeth has hunted me ever since ! Trying to possess me.
How would I know it hasn't succeeded ? Because you know me.
Don't you ? Just as I know you.
I've had visions of you for as long as I can remember.
It's the same with you, isn't it ? Yes.
But how do I know if you're the wizard or The Gebbeth inside the wizard's body ?! Look into my eyes.
So you can devore me ? I won't devore you.
Just look into my eyes.
And see my soul.
You know we've been brought together ! You have faith in that, let it give you faith in me ! I dreamed of this.
I don't know why we've been brought together.
But you do, don't you ? " So he could guide him to the Labyrinth ".
The Labyrinth ? Why ? I hold the Amulet of Peace.
At least half of it.
That's impossible.
Show me.
That is the Amulet ! I recognize it from my studies, how did you get this ! Now, do you beleive me ? So this is our destiny.
If not us, then who ? Someone is coming.
Take the first three right from where you come to, and then two left and a right.
And you'll find yourself at the door of the Chamber of the Nameless Ones.
Before that you have to get through the door of the Labyrinth.
And I don't have the key anymore.
Summoned to the chambers of the High-Priestess.
I know who you are.
And I know why you're here.
I implore you take me in his-- No ! No No.
I'll give you one last chance.
Give me the incantation.
And stay alive.
Or join our good Mother on the other side.
If my death disrupts your evil goals Then I die.
Gladly.
THEN DI-- This is how I reward failure.
The Keys.
Pick them up ! NOW ! Open it.
Open it ! " Three right, and two left " Then right.
Understand this, priestess If we encouter one more dead end Only your head will accompany me on the rest of the way.
I'll make a present of it to the wizard.
Before I kill him.
Do I make myself clear ? Go ! Keep moving, my destiny awaits me at the door of the Nameless Ones.
This must be the wizard.
At last We finally meet ! You'd not been easy to come by.
Let her go.
What's this ? A desperate act of heroïsm ? .
A desperate act of heroïsm ? I SAID LET HER GO ! And what should compel me to do so ?! Your powerful magic ?! This ! I'll deal with you later.
Give me this ! This is where brute force triumph over slight of hand ! You see I've been doing this all my life, my boy.
You're just an amateur.
COME ON, WIZARD ! Are you afraid ? COME ON WIZARD !! Thank you for showing me the way.
So frustrating we can't find those keys isn't it ? WIZARD ! Vetch ! It seems we made it you and I.
Vetch, what's wrong ? Come over to me, Ged.
The Gebbeth ! You melt with the Gebbeth ! I am your friend.
We will be great together.
I don't know what you've done with Vetch, but you are NOT my friend ! And now is the time of your destruction.
we came close to it once.
We're now in a place where my power has growed Yours is diminished.
What have you done with my friend ?! He's gone to a place you're about to go too.
Stay away from me.
Ged Ged I can no more stay away from you than you can resist me.
I can resist you.
I do resist you.
Yes Let the hatred wallop ! in an instant we'll become ONE ! Anger opens myself to you, doesn't it ? So I purge myself of it ! Not possible.
There's simply too much.
Remember Jasper.
How he despised you.
How he ruined you ! (Jasper's voice) You would have killed me if you could have, wouldn't you ? No that would not be necessary.
He got his just reward.
You hate me don't you ? (father's voice) Didn't I stand in the way of everything you ever wanted to become ? I don't hate you father.
I never did.
I miss my mother.
Our family.
I needed to find myself.
Very well.
But do you not hate the thing that killed your best and most loyal friend ? You must make this Gebbeth you own.
I neither hate nor fear you, Gebbeth.
I know your True Name, shadow.
And it is Sparrowhawk No You are Sparrowhawk ! We are Sparrowhawk.
You and I, together.
You were the darkness inside of me.
I understand that now.
I accept that.
Sparrow hawk ! WHERE ARE YOU WIZARD ? What an appropriate spot for your demise ! No.
Yours.
You think you can stop me ?! How the devil, did you manage to do that ?! Part of me was missing, Tygath.
But I found it again.
Come here, you.
Open the doors of the Nameless Ones.
NOW ! I refuse to betray my faith.
And my duty ! Don't even think of intervening, wizard.
Or this blade will slide into her prety neck before you can even move a step ! Once again Open the doors.
You may kill me.
You may kill every priestess in this Temple But I must honor our Venerable Mother who entrusted me with the keys and the incantation which our Order has garded since the time of Lady Elfarran.
Do it ! What ?! Do as he says.
Let them out.
Ged what are you saying ?! I can't ! Would you listen to the man ! He finaly come to his senses ! You must do it ! Look into my eyes.
If it's not us then who ? Come to me Nameless Ones.
Fill me with your ancient wizdom.
And grant me the Gift of Immortality ! COME TO ME ! COME TO ME, MY CHILDREN ! Is he gone ? I think our world is finaly rid of its greatest tyrant.
But at what cost.
Vetch ! Vetch, my friend.
What are you doing ? I would not be here for one from my first magus and teacher, Ogion.
A great man.
He brought my soul back from the brink and if Vetch's spirit has not yet left his body.
I may be able of the same for him.
Where am I ? Back with friends.
Come on.
But Ged What can we do now that we've let them out ? You let them out ? What would possess you to do such a thing ?! I finaly understood what's the right thing to do.
How can that be ? - They're going to wreak havoc throughout the world, look what the've done here ! - They would wreak havoc in Unless - Unless ? - Unless ? The Amulet of Peace was to be made whole.
Have you found the other half ? I beleive I know where it rest.
Ebrom's riddle "When the Nameless Tombs become unsealed " "The Amulet's key will be revealed.
" Just like the Dragon's riddle.
Which the Archmagus pointed that must be looked at litteraly.
You had it all along.
It's incredible ! But can it be made whole again ? Not alone.
But perhaps together.
May the faith of the Priestessess and the magic of the Wizards come together at last.
Reunited in the same hands so that all of Earthsea is in peace.
Forever and more.
We command the Nameless Ones to disperse Begone, and trouble us no more.
Sparrowhawk.
So you flew true, after all.
You have done a great thing, Ged of Ten Alders.
And in turn, you too are now great, aren't you ? Not great, but Maybe whole.
Perhaps our unity will finaly bring us to our world.
And as to what became of Ged and Tenar and those who loved them.
Well That's another story.
- .
-
You are Sparehawk.
Take it, in remembrance of your mother.
I hope you'll find her.
Find who ? The girl you've been dreaming about.
I hereby bestow The Keys to the next High Priestess.
Come to me, sister Tenar And receive the tokens of your office.
Welcome to Roke.
May your stay here be profitable to you and to Earthsea.
to control life is the greatest power of all.
Mother Thar refuses to take her medication.
a few drops concealled in her tea.
All of Earthsea shall be ours.
Allright, Blacksmith ! What about summoning a spirit from the dead ? Before you speak, or do, you must know the consequences ! have you any idea what happened here ?! You brought a being of utter evil into the world, whose only objective will be to find you and devore your soul ! I brought you into this world and I will take you out of it ! TERREMER When Earthsea's thousand and one islands were born The Nameless ones ruled as their evil energy engulfed the planet.
Until a powerful amulet was forged from the faith of the devout order of Priestesses.
which kept Earthsea at peace and the Nameless Ones restreined deep beneeth the Temple.
on the Island of Atuan.
But then the Amulet was broken And evil in the form of Kargid invaders questing to govern the world Spread accross Earthsea like a plague.
Leaving only the Priestesses faith and prayer to guard the door and keep the Nameless Ones contained.
An ancient prophecy told of a young wizard who would someday arise to reunite the Amulet and bring a lasting peace to the world of Earthsea.
No don't die I heard you cried out.
It's ok Rosa.
It was just a dream.
Is Mother Thar awake up ? I was just on my way to her chambers.
To cool her fever.
I'm gonna go with you.
The island of Vemish What do you want ? Some shelter for a weary traveler.
You'd better come in.
Getting quite nasty out there.
May I offer you some roast ? I was hoping for something of greater sustainance.
I have to admit, my dear Kossil From women I'm really satisfied to please, but you've made it into a science.
I've had the perfect specimen upon which to concentrate my studies.
Quite true.
And has the Venable Mother illness brought her any closer to naming a successor ? Sire.
There's been a slight wrinkle in my plan.
" Wrinkle " ? What wrinkle ? She named sister Tenar to succeed her.
She what ?! How could you let this HAPPEN ?! It was no fault of mine.
That's skimming little worm bent Thar to her will.
A task I set to YOU, I recall.
Do you have any idea how upset I will be ? If the secrets of the Nameless Ones are denied to me ! I can imagine.
But I do have a plan.
You "HAD" a plan, Kossil Give me this one last chance, I promess I will not fail you.
Thar will not only regret her decision but She will beg for my assistance.
Very well Is there any chance Tenar's visions could draw the wizard to ours will ? My thoughts exactly ! I which case He would be delivered to me on the same platter As my Immortality.
Would he not ? Our immortality, your Majesty.
"Our" immortality.
And now would you care to continue our research ? And it is the same person in every visions ? Yes.
And this is though I didn't want him to die.
The meaning of this vision will become apparent one day.
I hope.
For now We should get some rest.
Tomorow will be an important day for I intent to show you the Labyrinth.
And share with you that which has been past on to me.
I pray that I'm worthy.
Rest now, Mother.
Bless you.
You have no idea How much you kindness has meant to me during all those last weeks.
Don't you be feeling better by now ? Its awful God.
Even the children Who do such things ?! Make way for the Magus.
has anything been touched ? No Magus.
Make silence.
What is this ? I said silence.
This is my doing just watch.
Now The murderer.
Oh no Who is it ? - I thought you were at the Kargid fortress ? - I was, I've only just returned.
I was checking to see if Tenar had another of her visions.
Oh she did in fact.
In this one it seems the young wizard was drowned.
Well.
That's not all bad.
And what may I ask you were doing in the Tenar's chamber ? I was only coming to check on her well being ! Were you ? Well Perhaps, we should discuss this in the morning.
Oh No you dumb ! You keep your pulse to yourself you dumb ! You look like you need a drink, my friend.
- Did see a ghost or something ? - Ah, in truth, I think I have ! Would you know the farmer Gladdy ? He live's a place outside Istemere.
Sure.
I know the man.
We just found him and his clan dead.
What ?! Robbers ? Nooo It's no robbers ! Monsters ! They were goated like chickens ! I saw it with my own eyes ! The whole lot ?! Four all of them And two travellers up on the cliffs Anyone seen who done it ?! No, the magus conjured him We saw his image standing here as he was ! It might be here by now, in the town.
Enought of that ! What does he look like ? He has a scar.
Magus ! Go quickly, Sir.
- The killer, he's here ! - Where ? In the town, he sliped out the tavern, he's been followed.
Call the shire reeve, you found out who the killer was, this isn't enought ? No sister.
This is something I must do.
Bar the door.
Let no one enter.
This way ! Those barrels ! Come on the right side ! He's got to be here ! HERE HE IS ! There he is ! Vetch ! - You've caught the wrong man I've done nothing ! - Except slit six people from end to end - monster ! - I did not.
I swear ! It has devored you, hasn't it ? The shadow ! I am not the Gebbeth.
I swear, now let me go ! Let me go ! (the) Magus done it ! Well done Magus.
You know him, Sir ? I knew the poor soul whose body this thing has taken.
He would have torn us apart if you had not stopped him, master wizard ! Three cheers for the Magus ! NO ! This is no cheering matter ! The evil spirit my friend has raised has taken over his body, devored him from within.
He deserves our pity.
He deserves to die ! Drown him ! That might be too kind.
I think he may welcome it.
Die DIE !.
Die ! Wait ! Astarion All may not be as it seems carry him to my house ! No ! Do as I say, or I'm not the Magus of this îsland ! Allright Not wise ! Listen, I'm sorry.
I hope I wasn't too rough on you with that spell.
I only hope I can return the favor.
Not bad, eh ? At least, you seem to have sliped through the worst of it.
- The water's getting cold, wanna give me some warm ? - Yes Master ! (I) feel my shoulders' any every muscles are shreded ! You know Vetch, you should do some more hard work, your hands start to feel like girl's.
Although you do have the massage thing down Ged of Ten Alder May I introduce my sister Yarrow.
Hi.
A stone ? You tighed a stone to a rope ?! Primitive but effective.
If need be Vetch, I was prepared to die with that creature.
It didn't work out the way I planned.
No it didn't, didn't it ? As of course it has stolen something from me.
Your face.
Yes.
So now you're a fugitive because of his terrible crimes.
Aye.
So what you gonna do now ? Stay in the hunt, I suppose.
Where will you go ? I don't know.
I feel as if I'm being pulled To the east.
And how you know that you've got to go where you're going ? Not sure.
That's settle then.
Wherever the Gebbeth pulls you is where I am going.
No.
Vetch she's right.
This isn't your battle.
You can't do it by yourself, old friend You've already proven that beyond a doubt ! I was there when you released the shadow and I shall be present when you defeat it.
What if I never do ? - This is my du- - You think we met by chance down on the seashore ? - And what was it but chance ?! - Untranslated subtitle - There's no such things as chance meeting in the life of wizards kind, you know that ! We quest together and that settle the question.
What if you're killed doing it ? Then I'd had following the right path, little sister.
Wouldn't you had me do what's wise ? Yes, I'd like you live.
So do I, Arrow.
But once your brother made up his mind, it's hard to change it.
Let me make you a pledge that if it's in my power to do so I'll bring him safely back.
I sometimes fear that I'm not strong enough to bear the weight of these keys.
The weight bears not in only shape of these keys, my child.
the real weight is here to be lead on your shoulders.
Go in.
All the tunnels here look the same So you must count.
for as complex and elaborate it might seems, once you know the pattern, it is rather simple.
You take the first 3 right then 2 left then 1 right.
Have you been counting ? Lead the way.
Once the Amulet was destroyed, it was only this labyrinth But more importantly our great faith and prayer that kept Earthsea safe.
But this evil wizard he may be more powerful than all our prayers.
That is why it is so important that we need our Order retain courage.
and maintain the strenght of your faith.
Good.
Well done.
So far.
It's hard to beleive that I'm actually here.
Learning the secrets of this sacred tomb.
Growing as an orphan and being taken in to study was a miracle enough but.
.
But the idea of that insignificant little girl.
.
There is nothing insignificant about you Tenar.
I sensed your potential even then when you first arrived.
Wide-eyed and ragged and full of hope and fear.
And not an insignificant amount of defiance.
Thanks for let she took her chance Venerable Mother.
I was an orphan when I first arrived at the Temple of Atuan as a scholary maid.
No ?! Indeed.
So you see our past, our destiny is not that dissimillar.
This is overwhelming Mother.
and I must admit a bit frightening.
You must never embrace fear.
The only other time I've been in this place was this horrible night.
This is the the way to which I refer to : The mantle that is not your destiny to bear.
What I'm about to tell you holds the most secret power of our Order It must never be heard out of loud to anyone ! But your successor.
Who I hope you will choose as wisely as I beleive I've choosen my.
The Magus of Gont, where is he ? I don't know ! Very nice.
Something to warm the ice-cold neck of your wizard perhaps ? We know he sailed there out of port with your brother.
What we need to know is the destination.
I don't know.
Please.
They may have traveled west.
Only you can always count on this for a woman to lie.
They most certainly sail east.
Let's go.
No time for that ! We must alert the king.
At this moment I hand on the tailer I feel compelled to ask just where we might be heading ? Just keep it steady.
This Gebbeth has an uncanny knack in drawing me to it.
- He'll find us.
- That's reassuring.
While we're waiting for the Shadows beacon maybe we can occupy our time with more pleasurable fare ? - Like food, perhaps ? - Exactly.
And women of course but you don't seem to give much thoughts to that either.
It's not true.
What's this ? Our Ged has a girl ?! No Not exactly.
At least I don't think so.
Never actually mattered I've only seen her in my dreams.
I got a baby-doll myself.
Vetch, this is the same girl, over and over again.
I mean it's strange.
She infuses to me in visions, dreams.
As if I'd know her.
She's always wandering in the same passageway.
The real story of the Amulet is that one of my successors fell in love with a Kargid King and plotted with him to destroy the Amulet.
I've read that but I don't understand ! Why did she do such a thing ?! Because They beleived by that conviting this montrous acte, they would release the Nameless Ones.
Yeah, but to what end ? To no end.
They beleived that would bring them immortality.
Foolish notion.
Why didn't it released the Nameless Ones ? Because, my dear child They misjudged the power of our Order's faith.
That very spirit that we teach and dedicate ourselves to every day of our life, is still the keeper of the Gate.
And what became of the Amulet ? Some tales have her realising her folly fleeing in a small boat with one half of the Amulet a huge storm swallowed her up and she dissapeared.
Why don't we teach this ?! There's a lesson to be learned here ! And as you've always said We must learn from our mistakes.
I suppose It is human nature to obscure The most shameful aspects of once History, but You're right.
There's lessons to be learnt from the truth.
You have my permission to teach it to the novices.
Kossil ? It's time for afternoon prayers, Venerable Mother.
I feel very weak.
Do you mind leading them for me ? I Live to serve only, Venerable Mother.
I need to lie down.
Rosa, my tea.
Now then Rosa Why don't you tell me what's been troubling you ? It's nothing, really.
Come on now.
The bond between us is far to strong for secrets.
I think The medication The drops I pour in Venerable Mother's tea each day You said it would make her better but each day she only seems to get worse.
Your point being ? I think the medication is harming her.
Do you ? Well.
We must discontinue it.
Be on the safe side.
But we've medicated it her without her permission or knowledge.
- We must confess it.
.
- We must confess it.
- Confess ?! To whom ? But to Venerable Mother and to sister Tenar, her successor.
There no need for that Rosa I forgive you.
I forgive us both.
It's not enought.
What do you mean not enough ? - Am I not enough for you ? - I didn't mean it that way.
We must always be clear in our meaning, sweet Rosa.
And this is what I mean.
Vetch ! Please no more mocking.
Vetch wake up ! We've arrived.
The Gebbeth ? On the island.
He's expecting me.
Only now he's gonna get even more than he expected.
It look singularly Uninviting.
May be This is why we must go.
What was that ? The Gebbet ? No.
It's not-- It's a dragon.
- You didn't say that was going to be any dragons.
- I didn't know ! But you don't seem too surprised ! This Gebbeth hasn't a habit of luring me to date.
And you it seems has made a habit of following ! - Did you see those red markings on the side of the- - Yes, very attractive ! I read about a dragon once with markings like those ! Fascinating, you tell me about the fire one day.
Wait a minute.
Red markings ?! Like the dragon of Rabish's tabular ? That's the one, do you remember its True Name ? The one to bind it ! Once that if you do it well you can ask it any three questions you desire ? Yes ! I'm afraid not ! - I think it was Eworle.
- I think not.
- Then what do you think it was ? - I don't know but we must dive low ! - I think we'll only get one go with this.
- So what do you suggest ? We learned this in the Island of Teoh.
Aum-Embar ! I speak your True Name, Aum-Embar and I order you to submit ! TWO QUESTIONS, YOU CAN ASK ME, WIZARD.
AND TWO ONLY.
Isn't it usually three ? CORRECT.
BUT IN FACT YOU'RE BACK TO TWO.
Allright then.
Tell me where I can find the Gebbeth.
THE GEBBETH HAS FLED TO THE TOMBS OF ATUAN.
A VERY DANGEROUS PLACE.
AND YOUR LAST QUESTION ? Tell me its True Name, so that I may overcome him ! I'D BE DELIGHTED TO GIVE YOU THAT INFORMATION IF IN FACT YOUR PREFERENCE IS TO PUT YOUR OWN SAFETY BEHIND THE FATE OF EARTHSEA.
IF YOU HAD THE ABILITY TO REUNITE THE AMULET OF PEACE WOULD YOU NOT DO SO ? Of course ! But that's not possible.
ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE.
IF YOU DEEM IT SUCH.
Ged, it's a trick.
Just get the Gebbeth's True Name.
YES A DISAGREABLE DILEMMA What option do I have ? Ged.
Think before you leap.
Where can I find the pieces of the Amulet ? VERY WELL THEN RETURN TO EVIL PLACE OF BIRTH.
THERE THE PUZZLE WILL TEST YOU WORTH.
WHAT YOU SEEK IS WITHIN YOUR GRASP.
BUT THE ACT OF FINDING IT MAY BE YOUR LAST.
A riddle ?! I've traded my life for a riddle what does it mean ?! LAST QUESTION IS OVER LIMIT ! EVEN WASTED THE FIRST ONE.
YOU MIGHT NOT LEAVE HERE WITH THE GEBBETH'S TRUE NAME WELL THAT'S WHAT YOU GET TRYING TO MAKE WITS WITH A DRAGON ! You worry about facing the Gebbeth ? Or is it Jasper ? No I think about the island of Eve.
Eve ? Where the myths were born The White Towers of Havnor the rough folks of the south bend never come to land.
and the Ice Falls to the north.
I would like to see the Ice Falls.
You'll see the Ice-Falls.
I tried to discern light from the shadow, Vetch.
I grasped for power and this is where it brought me.
Which is fine.
As long as we bring this thing to an end.
Well At least you got to see Vemish.
Vemish.
Rosa Rosa ! Rosa ? Sisters ! SISTERS COME ! ( Mother's calling ! ) ( Hurry ! ) Tenar ?! Oh no ! Sire.
This has just arrived from the island of Sattins.
" Mast seen sailing east.
" - To Roke, General.
- Sire.
WE MAKE FOR ROKE ! ( Yessir ! ) "What you seek is within your grasp" " but the act of finding it may be you last.
" Not a very encouraging prospect.
Do you think the Amulet would be here ?! The town seems more subdued now that the Kargids patrol Don't you think Vetch ? Vetch ? Hey Vetch ?! With the fate of Earthsea resting in the balance You stop to eat ?! I'm hungry ! How that would do Earthsea better good if we starve to die ? You hardly look like a starving man my friend.
But No point in taking chances.
Let's come.
Poor vretch.
I can never understand how man can cruelly mock those less fortunate Does it not occur to them how easely fate could have put them in this state ?! You again Sparrowhawk You remember me.
Astarion Glad to see not much has change around here.
Save for a few kindly Kargids, I wonder how much magic they've learned.
Hey.
What on Earthsea you two doing here ?! It's a long story.
I don't know if you've heard but when the Kargids took over they killed our Archmagus ! Yeah, Ged had a vision.
We just come from Sattins.
A dragon directed us here.
[ Jasper'voice.]
(WELL !! ) I see we have a pair of distinguished alumni among us ! And to what, exactly, do we owe this unexpected pleasure ?! No matter We shall take this off in my chambers.
Guards ! You can leave them.
I'll be fine.
What I'm about to reveal to you must never leave this room.
Is that understood ? Very well then.
Archmagus ?! How ? Come now, Ged.
Did you really think that a mere dagger could be the instrument of my demise ? You must bring word of this to no one.
the time is not yet safe for my return.
But Where is the real Jasper ? Crossing the town square did you per chance happen upon a village fool ? Yes but-- That was Jasper ?! To think I actually felt sorry for him.
I thought it was the fitting punishment.
So tell me Ged, how goes it ? Well Sir, I'm still alive.
That's a very good sign.
But what has brought you back here ? It's a compendium of toxins.
You must beleive me, I've never seen that before ! Beleive you ? Is it just a coïncidence that you were implicated by Rosa's dying letter ? And then we find this here ? Bring her to Mother Thar's chamber.
I am broken hearted by your treachery.
But I am innocent.
Then how do you explain this foil of poisons found in you room ? I cannot.
I can only imagine that it was placed there by someone who wished me ill.
Dear Thar, but what motive would I have to harm you ?! That is between you and your conscience.
And I took you in Treated you as I would a daughter.
Made you my Successor ! How could I not see the malice you arbored ?! Rosa's last words And her honor betrayed your plot ! Have you anything to say, Tenar ? I would not have thought that you could so easely dismiss your own feelings.
I was blinded by those feelings.
But no longer.
I release you of all your duties.
And strip you of all the authorities with which I invested you.
The Keys.
Surely it doesn't end there, Mother Thar ! She ought to be locked up, for the protection of us all.
See that that is done.
You will wait my final judgement.
Take her away.
So the exact line is " What you seek is within your grasp.
" Well.
Though that may be lose to admit it, even dragons know that the whole world is conceivably within a wizard's grasp.
So perhaps we should look at this more litterally.
What personnal possessions do you cary with you at all times ? Only this.
Let me have it.
Lady Elfarran's Amulet of Peace.
I'd never dreamt my eyes would one day look upon it.
How did you come by it ? On the island of Gont.
My first teacher, she gave it to me.
The priestess who split the Amulet was rumored to have perished out the sea.
Could this have been she ? I don't know.
It was said that she just turned up years ago after a great sea storm.
She didn't know who she was, but she taught me everything she knew.
And without knowing it entrusted all Earthsea to your care.
Do you recognize those symbols ? They are runes In an archaic form I haven't studied since I was a boy.
They translate to a simple rhyme.
" When the Nameless Tomb become unsealed.
The Amulet's key will be revealed ".
Nameless Tombs ? That would be at the Temple, on the island of Atuan.
Then that is where we must go.
A dangerous place.
Protected by Kargid barbarians.
The Temple will diminish your magic, so be very careful once you get there.
If they don't get him first.
Kargids coming ! Don't worry.
Prepare yourself to travel.
Will you be alright ? I'll be fine, Ged.
Good luck.
I want all floor searched ! Yes Sire ! Your highness.
Quickly, they'll escape ! Where are the fugitive wizards ? That's what I mean, you must have passed them, just now in the mo-- Not that I saw 'em.
What exactly is your part in this ? - "Master Jasper".
- Nothing, your Majesty.
They held me at knife point.
To the market ! 'course, the other half of the Amulet isn't secreted away in some flowery meadow.
Next to a babbling broc.
No ! Had to be in the Tombs of Atuan.
The very home of Tygath and his bloodthirsty Kargide horde ! - Not to mention the Gebbeth.
- Not to mention ! Although We are wizards after all.
The least we should bear a little is get by a few Kargids.
Exactly.
You there ! On whose authority are you here ? Yours Captain.
Don't you recognize us ? Of couse, um Sun blinded me for a moment.
What news do yo bring ? News King Tygath want to hear, Sir.
You'd better hurry up and tell him, then.
And report back here to me after you'd delivered the message.
Yes, Captain.
Whatever demons Rosa was struggling with She thought to be hers alone.
And thus she succombed to them.
We all have our demons.
But if we face them together We can prevail.
For each other.
For our sisterhood ! Farewell.
Dearest Rosa.
May your soul Find in death the peace that eluded you in life.
Should we do what we did at the harbor ? Or maybe not be seen at all.
Even better.
- You're ready ? - Yeah.
This is a real tribute to our Roke training.
I'm just trying to break the tension, that's all.
It's like the magic is weakening ! - Having may be we missed a class ? - Run ! What of Tenar, Mother ? That she's safely confined is enough for now.
Until I decide her fate.
What if you should Of course I pray that you don't but If you should leave us before that time.
Then my Successor will make that decision.
And have you give it any thought to who that might be ? In due time, Kossil, In due time ( I'll miss you Rosa.
) Thank you for the concern.
The Archmagus was right.
Wizard magic will not be enough at this place.
There's another power here.
It's not magic but a great power for good.
It make sense, this is where the Amulet of Peace came from.
So Where we'll find it ? The Temple of Atuan, you must go under.
Look at this stairs.
Come on.
I wonder if the Gebbeth wait here.
The Gebbeth, I almost forgot about him ! I will pledge he hasn't forgot about you.
I remember this from my dream.
Was it locked in your dream ? Because it is now.
Well, we can try a standard spell.
I didn't what.
- I have nothing to say to you, Kossil.
- But I have much to say to you.
Then you'll be wasting your time.
Time A concept to which you really ought to give some thought, dear Tenar.
For present your fate is that of a swift execution, or To rot in this cell until you're old and hagard.
You're not thinking what I think you're thinking, are you ? The Archmagus said the Shapeshifting is only risky if you do it too often.
You think we can muster up enough wizard power to pull it off.
May be if we concentrate together.
I can offer you freedom.
Only Mother Thar can do that.
I have her ear.
And soon, given her state of health - I should have her bless-- - A "state of health" brought on by you ! Mere conjecture.
But I forgive you.
What do you want of me ? Give me the incantation and I'll give you your freedom.
Then I guess we both must go without.
Not now, Vetch ! The spell will not hold.
See ? Now will you listen when I say you pants ? Get it ! - Who goes there ?! - Bind him ! Hey Ged, are you there ? It wasn't so bad, being a rat ! Except for maybe this annoying itche for cheese.
Are you coming ? Ged ? You're not coming, aren't you ? So, I guess I have to do this by myself.
Allright Vetch.
Your move.
The Amulet Hmmm There's gonna be some way to make sense of this.
Venerable Mother.
We found him trying to break into the Labyrinth.
Explain yourself.
He refuses to speak.
We don't hold thieves, in custody here.
In fact we send them to the Kargide fortress.
for execution.
Why are you here ? I came not in search of plunder but in search of peace.
In the form of an Amulet.
Ridiculous ! That Amulet was destroyed long ago.
She speaks the truth.
The fate of Earthsea depends on the finding of this Amulet.
What makes you think you're the one for this task ? I was told by a Dragon.
Pfff ! Only fools listen to Dragons.
It requires a wizard to reunite the Amulet I am a wizard.
Oh, the evil wizard.
I don't understand.
There's nothing to understand.
If you had come to me directly with this tale, instead of sneaking in like a criminal I might have giving it more credance.
As it stands I should have to have you confined until I arrive at the truth of this matter.
Take him to a cell.
Venerable Mother You health fails you.
For the sake of the Order You must name a successor ! And that successor would be you ? Who else ? Why Why have you been so intent in this successor issue ? It was you, not Tenar.
Give me the incantation ! The incantation ? You hope I will give you Immortality ? I am dying, Kossil.
I am dying and you've seen to that.
we don't the vestment of our Sistehood.
We were all set on a path.
You too, Kossil.
A path of peace.
And forgiveness.
Somehow you've lost this path, I hope you'll find it again.
I forgive you.
DON'T DIE ! Give me the incantation ! Give it to me ! Send for Tygath, he's to come at once.
Tell him I'm on the verge of obtaining all that he desires.
And I have his wizard.
(Who are you ? ) I can barely hear you.
Come to your door.
Hello.
I said who are you ? Ged of Ten Alders.
And what is your position in life, Ged, of Ten Alders ? I'm a blacksmith.
And you ? My name is Tenar.
I am I was a priestess.
Why are you locked up ? How do I know to trust to you ? That you haven't been put here to gain my confidence ? Yes, they are desesperate to learn the great secrets of blacksmithing.
What have you done to be here ? I didn't do anything.
Someone bought false witness against me.
And what would be your fate ? I don't know.
I have to rely on my faith to see me through it.
Faith ? I never had much use for that in my life.
I've always beleived magic to be stronger than faith.
My only beleif is in the ability to control my own destiny.
So Being locked up here was part of your plan ? Could be.
Allright, no.
The faith would not have been my salvation.
Now, that's debatable.
But at least we have something in common.
And that would be ? Getting out.
( Hail King Tygath ! ) Yes, Yes.
I want increased patrols on the islands of Roke, Vemish and Gont ! That which wizard is bound to come home for roost ! This was just received, Sire.
"Ged" "of Ten Alders" "At the Tombs of Atuan.
" Well.
It seems our little bird is indeed coming home to roost.
And in my nest.
Allright Vetch, don't panic.
Could just go back to where you came.
Or choose at random.
What are you doing over there, blacksmith ? Practicing my trade.
Almost, damn it ! I'm out.
Just keep an eye while I work on your cell.
That's amazing ! How did you do that ?! You question the worth of a blacksm- ? You ! You.
- The evil wizard of my nightmares ! .
- The evil wizard of my nightmares ! - " Evil " ?! You're sure you have the right person ? I saw you On a hilltop conjuring evil ! You saw it, then.
I was real ?! It was an act of anger and pride.
A foolish act of youth.
I've aged, since that, and paid.
The Gebbeth has hunted me ever since ! Trying to possess me.
How would I know it hasn't succeeded ? Because you know me.
Don't you ? Just as I know you.
I've had visions of you for as long as I can remember.
It's the same with you, isn't it ? Yes.
But how do I know if you're the wizard or The Gebbeth inside the wizard's body ?! Look into my eyes.
So you can devore me ? I won't devore you.
Just look into my eyes.
And see my soul.
You know we've been brought together ! You have faith in that, let it give you faith in me ! I dreamed of this.
I don't know why we've been brought together.
But you do, don't you ? " So he could guide him to the Labyrinth ".
The Labyrinth ? Why ? I hold the Amulet of Peace.
At least half of it.
That's impossible.
Show me.
That is the Amulet ! I recognize it from my studies, how did you get this ! Now, do you beleive me ? So this is our destiny.
If not us, then who ? Someone is coming.
Take the first three right from where you come to, and then two left and a right.
And you'll find yourself at the door of the Chamber of the Nameless Ones.
Before that you have to get through the door of the Labyrinth.
And I don't have the key anymore.
Summoned to the chambers of the High-Priestess.
I know who you are.
And I know why you're here.
I implore you take me in his-- No ! No No.
I'll give you one last chance.
Give me the incantation.
And stay alive.
Or join our good Mother on the other side.
If my death disrupts your evil goals Then I die.
Gladly.
THEN DI-- This is how I reward failure.
The Keys.
Pick them up ! NOW ! Open it.
Open it ! " Three right, and two left " Then right.
Understand this, priestess If we encouter one more dead end Only your head will accompany me on the rest of the way.
I'll make a present of it to the wizard.
Before I kill him.
Do I make myself clear ? Go ! Keep moving, my destiny awaits me at the door of the Nameless Ones.
This must be the wizard.
At last We finally meet ! You'd not been easy to come by.
Let her go.
What's this ? A desperate act of heroïsm ? .
A desperate act of heroïsm ? I SAID LET HER GO ! And what should compel me to do so ?! Your powerful magic ?! This ! I'll deal with you later.
Give me this ! This is where brute force triumph over slight of hand ! You see I've been doing this all my life, my boy.
You're just an amateur.
COME ON, WIZARD ! Are you afraid ? COME ON WIZARD !! Thank you for showing me the way.
So frustrating we can't find those keys isn't it ? WIZARD ! Vetch ! It seems we made it you and I.
Vetch, what's wrong ? Come over to me, Ged.
The Gebbeth ! You melt with the Gebbeth ! I am your friend.
We will be great together.
I don't know what you've done with Vetch, but you are NOT my friend ! And now is the time of your destruction.
we came close to it once.
We're now in a place where my power has growed Yours is diminished.
What have you done with my friend ?! He's gone to a place you're about to go too.
Stay away from me.
Ged Ged I can no more stay away from you than you can resist me.
I can resist you.
I do resist you.
Yes Let the hatred wallop ! in an instant we'll become ONE ! Anger opens myself to you, doesn't it ? So I purge myself of it ! Not possible.
There's simply too much.
Remember Jasper.
How he despised you.
How he ruined you ! (Jasper's voice) You would have killed me if you could have, wouldn't you ? No that would not be necessary.
He got his just reward.
You hate me don't you ? (father's voice) Didn't I stand in the way of everything you ever wanted to become ? I don't hate you father.
I never did.
I miss my mother.
Our family.
I needed to find myself.
Very well.
But do you not hate the thing that killed your best and most loyal friend ? You must make this Gebbeth you own.
I neither hate nor fear you, Gebbeth.
I know your True Name, shadow.
And it is Sparrowhawk No You are Sparrowhawk ! We are Sparrowhawk.
You and I, together.
You were the darkness inside of me.
I understand that now.
I accept that.
Sparrow hawk ! WHERE ARE YOU WIZARD ? What an appropriate spot for your demise ! No.
Yours.
You think you can stop me ?! How the devil, did you manage to do that ?! Part of me was missing, Tygath.
But I found it again.
Come here, you.
Open the doors of the Nameless Ones.
NOW ! I refuse to betray my faith.
And my duty ! Don't even think of intervening, wizard.
Or this blade will slide into her prety neck before you can even move a step ! Once again Open the doors.
You may kill me.
You may kill every priestess in this Temple But I must honor our Venerable Mother who entrusted me with the keys and the incantation which our Order has garded since the time of Lady Elfarran.
Do it ! What ?! Do as he says.
Let them out.
Ged what are you saying ?! I can't ! Would you listen to the man ! He finaly come to his senses ! You must do it ! Look into my eyes.
If it's not us then who ? Come to me Nameless Ones.
Fill me with your ancient wizdom.
And grant me the Gift of Immortality ! COME TO ME ! COME TO ME, MY CHILDREN ! Is he gone ? I think our world is finaly rid of its greatest tyrant.
But at what cost.
Vetch ! Vetch, my friend.
What are you doing ? I would not be here for one from my first magus and teacher, Ogion.
A great man.
He brought my soul back from the brink and if Vetch's spirit has not yet left his body.
I may be able of the same for him.
Where am I ? Back with friends.
Come on.
But Ged What can we do now that we've let them out ? You let them out ? What would possess you to do such a thing ?! I finaly understood what's the right thing to do.
How can that be ? - They're going to wreak havoc throughout the world, look what the've done here ! - They would wreak havoc in Unless - Unless ? - Unless ? The Amulet of Peace was to be made whole.
Have you found the other half ? I beleive I know where it rest.
Ebrom's riddle "When the Nameless Tombs become unsealed " "The Amulet's key will be revealed.
" Just like the Dragon's riddle.
Which the Archmagus pointed that must be looked at litteraly.
You had it all along.
It's incredible ! But can it be made whole again ? Not alone.
But perhaps together.
May the faith of the Priestessess and the magic of the Wizards come together at last.
Reunited in the same hands so that all of Earthsea is in peace.
Forever and more.
We command the Nameless Ones to disperse Begone, and trouble us no more.
Sparrowhawk.
So you flew true, after all.
You have done a great thing, Ged of Ten Alders.
And in turn, you too are now great, aren't you ? Not great, but Maybe whole.
Perhaps our unity will finaly bring us to our world.
And as to what became of Ged and Tenar and those who loved them.
Well That's another story.
