They all spur their horses to a run. They cross a shallow river. The trollocs follow.
They arrive in Taren Ferry at night.
They dismount and approach a man.
Moiraine offers him coin.
There's a roar in the distance. Master Hightower has not moved.
They all move onto the ferry with their horses, and the begin to cross. As they are midway across the Taren river, the Trolloc army reaches the dock. One of the Trollocs falls into the river; it screams and struggles in the water until it finally sinks, and does not rise. The other Trollocs move back. A fade on horseback moves to the front and watches them.
The ferry reaches the other side of the river. The fade screams.
Lan severs the ferry's rope, and the rope splashes into the water. The ferry drifts away from the dock. Moiraine channels, creating a whirlpool around the ferry.
Hightower jumps into the river and swims toward the ferry. He clings to it as it sinks into the whirlpool.

=== The dream ===
Rand wakes. He coughs and chokes and, gagging, pulls something from his throat. It's a bat. He leans back, breathing heavily. In the forest before him, he sees a man with burned skin and fiery eyes.
Rand wakes, startled. It's morning. He looks around, and sees the bat. He quickly backs away and joins his friends, only to fnd more dead bats on the ground.

Perrin collects water from a stream. There's howling in the distance. Perrin walks back and winces at the injury on his leg. He sits on a fallen tree and checks the injury. He suddenly looks up to see five wolves standing nearby, looking at him. The bark and growl and Perrin stands. There's growling behind him and he turns to see five more wolves there. One of the wolves walks up to him and licks his exposed wound. All the wolves run off.

=== Camp ===
Moiraine continues wheezing.
=== Chase ===
Egwene wakes in the night. She sees a Fade. It screams.
The group gets on their horses. Lan carries Moiraine and hands her to Perrin.
The group rides, as an army of Trollocs run through the forest after them.
The horses abruptly stop and resist advancing. Bela rears.
Before them is a massive wall. It's cracked from top to bottom, so they have a way to pass through.
The turn to see the Trollocs stopping behind them, also resisting an advance.
The group slowly walk their horses forward.
=== Shadar Logoth ===
The group walks through horses through the quiet ruins.
They dismount at one of the buildings. Lan takes Moiraine from Perrin.
They enter a large chamber
Rand walks back out of the chamber.
== Scene 16: Rand & Egwene ==
Rand leaves the chamber. He walks up another building and out onto a landing overlooking the city. Egwene walks up beside him. He takes her hand. 
== Scene 17: Perrin & Mat ==
Inside the chamber, Perrin sits against a pillar. Mat joins him. He holds a dagger.
== Scene 18: Shadar Logoth ==
That night. On the empty streets, there's a soft whistling.
The group sleeps in the chamber. A rush of whispering voices wakes Mat. Mat goes outside. The horses neigh, agitated.
Mat walks down the street. He sees a shadow pass, like someone moving, and he walks toward it. He enters a room. There's a pile of old wood on the floor, and metal box among in. Mat opens it to find a ruby-hilted dagger. 
Outside, the horses neigh and screech. A blackness touches one of the horses. Egwene and Perrin outside the chamber.
Rand joins them. The horse collapses to sand. The other horses run.
Inside the chamber, Moiraine starts to wake.
Lan doesn't say.
Outside, the darkness spreads over a statue. It rises up the stairs toward Egwene, Perrin, and Rand, and they move into the street to avoid it.
The darkness separates Rand from Perrin and Egwene. Mat runs up on Rand's side.
They all run. The darkness follows them.
Lan carries Moiraine from the chamber. His and Moiraine's horses have returned.
Mat and Rand run.
Perrin and Egwene run through a stairwell.
Lan gets him and Moiraine on horseback. Moiraine looks up at the darkness spreading over the buildings.
Mat and Rand run to a locked gate.
Mat hoists Rand up and he gets over the gate. He tries to open the gate.
Lan and Moiraine on horseback flee the city. Moiraine's horse follows them.
Egwene and Perrin emerge from the stairs on top of the city's wall. Looking over the city, all the surfaces are being covered with the darkness.
Mat and Rand still struggle with the gate.
Rand uses his sword to pry at the gate's hinges.
The gate gives and Mat gets through.
On the city wall, the darkness gets closer to Egwene and Perrin. They're backed against the edge, overlooking a river.
Mat and Rand crouch through a small opening in the wall toward a grate. Rand kicks at the grate.
Egwene and Perrin get up on the edge of the wall.
Rand kicks down the grate and he and Mat get through, escaping the city.
Egwene takes Perrin's hand and they jump into the river.
Lan and Moiraine ride out of another crack in the city's walls.
Mat and Rand turn to look back at the grated opening they got through. The darkness spreads out around the opening on the wall, but then recedes back into the city.
Mat tugs Rand over to the water's edge to a large piece of driftwood.
Lan slows, looking at Moiraine who is again unconscious. He dismounts and lays her down in the forest.
Egwene and Perrin swim across the river, away from the city. Once on the opposite shore, they call out.
Mat and Rand use the driftwood to swim across the river. They apparently do no hear them.
Lan gets Moiraine to drink some water and he sighs. Suddenly a blade is at his throat.
End credits.
