2x03 “Broken”
Cara: They put the Agiel in my hand, and I killed him.
Richard: What they did to you…
Cara: …made me powerful.
Richard: You were a little girl, they manipulated you.
Cara: You so badly want to believe that, don’t you? That I didn’t have a choice.
Richard: You didn’t. (Raises Agiel). This takes away the choice, Cara. The Mord’Sith can make a person say or do anything they want with this. It almost made me kill the person I love most.
Cara: But you didn’t, did you? Because your love for her was strong enough to overcome everything they did to you. My father’s love for me wasn’t, he cracked. Like an egg. The day I killed him the sisters of the Agiel welcomed me into their family!
Richard: Where are your sisters now? Last I remember, your ‘family’ beat you to within an inch of your life and left you for dead in the bottom of a ravine.
Cara: If it weren’t for the Mord’Sith making me into what I am now you’d be dead.
Richard: Yes. Why did you save my life?
Cara: Because you’re the true Lord Rahl!
Richard: But you didn’t believe that at the time.
Cara: What are you trying to get me to say?
Richard: That your sorry for killing your father, that you never wanted for any of this to happen, that the Mord’Sith took your life from you.
Cara: (indicates assembled angry villagers) They’re the ones that are trying to take my life!
