Quotes 

• Richard Cypher : [arriving at ruins]  It must have burned at least three months ago. These weeds are at least that old.

  Kahlan Amnell : D'Harans did this.

  Zeddicus Zu'l Zorander : Then where are the corpses?

  Cara Mason : If the abbot isn't here, then we have come a long way for nothing.

  Richard Cypher : If D'Harans did this, and they didn't kill the monks, where would they have taken them?

  Cara Mason : From here, they would have been taken to Tothrayne.

  Richard Cypher : What's Tothrayne?

  Cara Mason : A death camp.

• Kahlan Amnell : If these prisoners are going to gain their strength back, we're gonna have to feed them something more substantial than D'Haran gruel.

  Cara Mason : [sarcastic]  Should we draw them warm baths as well?

  Eleanor : [mother, with son, approaching]  Do you know of anyone heading in the direction of Deerfork?

  Cara Mason : The Dragon Corps wiped out Deerfork months ago.

  Eleanor : [clutching her son's shoulder]  But that's my father's village.

  Kahlan Amnell : [compassionate]  We'll try to find out where the survivors have relocated.

  Cara Mason : Deerfork was a resistance stronghold. No one would have been left alive.

  Eleanor : But my father wasn't a resistance fighter. He was just a locksmith.

  Cara Mason : That would have made no difference to the Dragon Corps.

  [causing Kahlan to give her an admonishing look] 

  Eleanor : [whining]  Where will we go? The rest of my family died here.

  Kahlan Amnell : I am... so sorry for your loss. But you need to be strong for your son. We'll see what we can find out about your father.

  [Eleanor sobs quietly] 

  Cara Mason : You shouldn't give her false hope.

  Kahlan Amnell : [whirls]  It wasn't so long ago that you served the one who caused all this misery. At least try to show some compassion.

  [turns away, guides Eleanor] 

  Kahlan Amnell : Come with me.

  [Cara considers all this] 

• Cara Mason : [closing lid of crate]  I've seen him before. A man came to the stables asking for a horse so he could take his brother to be buried.

  Richard Cypher : Apparently he took the treasure instead.

  Kahlan Amnell : [to Cara]  And you believed his story?

  Cara Mason : [to Richard, ignoring Kahlan]  The Confessor told me I had to show more compassion.

  Kahlan Amnell : Are you saying this is my fault?

  Cara Mason : Yes.

  Richard Cypher : [as the two young women glare at each other]  It doesn't matter whose fault it is. We need to find him.

• Flynn : [carrying corpse]  I need a horse. I have to bury my brother.

  Cara Mason : [sternly]  We need the horses to get provision. You can bury him outside with the others.

  Flynn : I'm not burying my brother alongside the D'Harans who killed him. He should be laid to rest beside our mother and father.

  Kahlan Amnell : [entering with man]  We're going to need fresh water.

  Flynn : [to Cara]  My village is only a day's ride. I'll have the horse back to you in the morning.

  Kahlan Amnell : [to the man]  Check the cistern.

  Cara Mason : [to Flynn, harshly]  Do it quickly.

  [then, remembering what Kahlan had advised her:] 

  Cara Mason : I'm so sorry for your loss.

  [but with no compassion in her eyes] 

• Cara Mason : [holding her Agiel poised to strike]  Where's the treasure?

  Flynn : I'm not afraid of you. Do you know what horrible things they did to me at Tothrayne?

  Cara Mason : [fond memories]  Intimately.

  Flynn : I didn't break when they put me on the rack. Or when they threw me in the drowning pool. Or when they spun me on the wheel of pain. Torture me all you want. You'll be wasting your time.

  Cara Mason : Oh, I don't wanna torture you. I have other ways of loosening your tongue.

  [tosses her Agiel on the bed, and climbs onto bed to join Flynn] 

  Cara Mason : After the awful way they treated you in that place, I can see why you would hire those women to bring you some comfort. But I'll do things to you those women can't even imagine. Many know of a Mord-Sith's ability to bring pain. But few know we're equally skilled at bringing pleasure. First, I'm going to...

  [whispers something outrageous into his ear, which he just loves] 

  Cara Mason : And then I'll...

  [whispers something even more outrageous into his ear, which he loves even more] 

  Cara Mason : But first, you need to tell me where...

  Flynn : In a cave, three leagues outside town, by the fork in the river!

  Cara Mason : [grabs him by collar, pulls him up from bed]  Get dressed!

  Flynn : But I told you where the treasure was.

  Cara Mason : Take me to it!

  [holsters Agiel] 

  Cara Mason : Now.

  Flynn : But what about that thing you were going to do? And that other thing sounded good too.

  [gets yanked around and thrown at the door like a rag doll] 

  Flynn : All right, all right, just the first thing then!

• Cara Mason : Our thief won't be going anywhere without us.

  Richard Cypher : You brought him back without a scratch. How did you manage that?

  Cara Mason : I have other methods.

  Richard Cypher : What kind of methods?

  [meaningful silence] 

  Richard Cypher : Well, however you did it, it's good work.

  Cara Mason : Did you expect anything less?

  Richard Cypher : I'm just glad to have you on our side.

  Cara Mason : Maybe you can tell Zedd and Kahlan that they can stop sleeping with weapons under their pillows.

• Flynn : [re the rune on his hand]  Seems this is worth quite a bit to you. At least as much as the treasure. You want me to go with you to this Pamorah? It will cost you.

  Richard Cypher : [shakes his head]  You're not getting the treasure.

  Flynn : Well, then I guess I'm not going anywhere. And this hand...

  [holds it up, showing off the etch] 

  Flynn : goes where I go.

  Cara Mason : Not if I cut it off.

  Flynn : [swayed]  When do we leave?

  Richard Cypher : [to Cara]  Lock him up in the warden's office until we deal with the banelings.

  [she gleefully yanks Flynn along] 

• Flynn : I thought I was dead.

  Cara Mason : I brought you back.

  [no desired response] 

  Cara Mason : You're welcome.

• Flynn : [all flirty]  You know, it's a long road to Pamorah. It could get a little lonely.

  Cara Mason : You're right.

  [softly:] 

  Cara Mason : It is a long road to Pamorah.

  [seems receptive to his attentions, but then her Agiel connects with his tender spot, and Flynn yells in pain] 

  Cara Mason : And if you wanna make it there in one piece, you won't try my patience.

  Flynn : [hunched forward]  The Seeker said you needed me alive.

  Cara Mason : Yes. But he didn't say you had to be comfortable.
