Original subtitles

Mistress: Previously on "The Outpost"...

Yavalla can't have taken control of the Capital already.

Strip her of her adornments and lock her in the prison.

The Three have now been replaced by the One,

- and her name is Yavalla. - ( gasping )

We've come all this way for sanctuary from the plague.

But you can't come in. Not unless you, um,

renounce your allegiance to the Prime Order.

We present ourselves as men with no allegiance.

Open the gate.

( all screaming )

- One. - I'm now overlord of this Outpost.

Talon: She's dying, Garret.

Talon: Gwynn looks bad.

Garret: We don't know how many times

she can pass her kinj before it kills her.

- We can't wait long. - Zed: Wait for my distraction

to draw the rest of the guards,

and then grab Rosmund.

Don't wait for me.

I'll see you back at the Outpost.

( groaning )

Talon: We should do something.

Garret: What can we do?

Go on. You were chosen.

This is a chance to be one with your queen.

Don't be afraid. Take my hand.

Thank you, Your Highness.

Can't bloody move in this stuff.

( grunting )

( guard roars )

Yavalla, you witch, where are you?

( grunting )

Zed, you certainly don't give up easily, do you?

What could you possibly wish to accomplish?

One thing only. To find and destroy you.

- Where are you? - ( chuckles )

You can't even find me.

( theme music playing )

Yavalla. Yavalla.

Yavalla's shrine is on fire.

- ( crowd gasping ) - That was fast.

Go on! There's a fire! Put it out!

Who would do such a thing?

Help me get the Queen to her chambers.

No. We must see if anyone is hurt.

We have to make sure you're safe first.

Garret: What are you waiting for?

The two of us will guard the Queen. Go! Go!

( both grunting )

What is the meaning of this?

- I am your Queen. - Talon: Where are The Three?

Gwynn: Two was taken to jail when we first arrived.

Is that who you work for?

What's the fastest way to the prison?

I know a way.

We'll take over here. You two go help.

- Man: What have you here? - Garret: See for yourself.

( grunts )

What? No!

In here.

Can you handle Gwynn?

Do you want me to take both of them?

( grunts )

- ( grunting ) - Come on, pointy-ears, you fight like babies.

I want to see blood.

I said to the death, you pointy-eared scum.

One of you Blackbloods dies or you both do.

Who's it gonna be?

- ( grunts ) - ( crowd gasping )

Get in there and clean up the ring.

Why are you doing this?

I'm gonna kill all the pointy-ears anyway.

Might as well make sport of it, don't you think?

No. No, I don't think.

Taste that, gate boy, so I know it's not poisoned.

Happily. I'm starving.

Can I taste something for you, too?

Get two more in the ring.

Look at this beautiful lassie.

Come. Sit with me.

You leave her alone.

- ( groaning ) - Stop!

- Munt! Munt. - Stop! Stop, stop!

- Please stop! - Munt!

I'll stay with you. I'll stay with you.

( groaning )

If you hurt Munt again, I will no longer serve you

and your detestable men, do you hear me?

Well, then I'd have no more use for you or your simpleton sidekick.

I'm no sidekick.

Just 'cause you've got that thing in your head

doesn't mean we're expendable.

Everyone's expendable.

I've seen how you and your men like to drink around here.

I'm the only brewer in this Outpost.

I'd hate to see you run dry.

- ( yelling ) - ( crowd murmuring )

- You made me miss it. - Mm, poor you.

Maybe the next match should be between two Outpost men.

Munt, let's go.

Come on. Now.

- Let's go. It's not safe here. - I don't like Jaaris.

I want to kill Jaaris. I don't like him.

He's dead. Take him.

Stop.

You must only pass it to Wren, my daughter.

You're not permitted to be here.

Do you wish to die today?

I told you to go away.

No!

It's all right, my child.

You will pass your next gift to my daughter.

- Talon: Is Tobin still out? - Yeah.

Is she in here?

Yes. Yes, she's here.

- Captain Garret Spears. - In the flesh.

Thanks to me bringing you back to life.

Exactly. Which is why we're here.

- This woman is Two? - Yes.

A bit pathetic without her ornamentation, isn't she?

What do you want?

I want you to bring our queen back to life.

- She is alive. - We're going to kill her.

The woman who put you in here is infecting people

with kinjes she can control them with,

and the only way to cure them is to kill them.

- What are you smiling about? - I'm your only hope.

What's your point?

I don't wish to stay in this cell.

You want us to free you in order to get you to help us?

I've heard from the whispers in these walls

that people are heading to Gallwood Outpost for sanctuary from the infection.

I want your word to give me safe passage there.

Only then will I help you save the false queen.

Do not call her that.

What would you have me call her?

Up until a few days ago, The Three controlled the Realm,

not this weak, pathetic woman.

Enough.

Where are the other two?

One never returned from the invasion of the Outpost,

and Three left when he saw your so-called god arriving.

Yavalla is not our god.

Do we have a deal?

You will take me to the sanctuary of the Outpost,

and I will save your queen.

- You have my word. - Fine. Let's get this done.

It's not as simple as that.

Of course it is. You brought me back from the dead.

Because you were useful to the Prime Order.

We sacrificed another life to bring you back.

What are you saying?

In order for my kinj to bring someone back from the dead,

I must absorb the life of another.

A soul for a soul.

( grunting )

Here, take some water.

- Enough! - Take some water.

He's going to die anyway.

I convinced the old ogre to let me bring water.

Thank you.

I really want to kiss you.

This is for you.

I'll try and get some more for your friends each run,

but we're running out of food.

What about the Lu-Qiri?

They're bringing less and less each day.

- ( grunting ) - Can't figure out why.

- ( yelling ) - ( crowd murmuring )

Clean the mess up, pointy-ears.

I think he's talking to me.

Tell me, sir, why were you imprisoned?

The way to solve a puzzle is a puzzle.

he lost his mind many years ago after he murdered his wife.

- Talon: And him? - Beat a peasant girl.

That's not true. She lies.

- Can we believe her? - No.

Not even a little.

I don't think Gwynn would want us to kill an innocent man just to save her.

Talon, our duty is to protect Gwynn and save her no matter the cost.

Now, this old man, he lost himself long ago.

We'd be putting him out of his misery.

- I hate this. - I know.

But I see no other way.

The old man.

- Can you heal my pain? - No, but I can take it away.

Your turn.

Talon, you don't have to do this.

- I can do it. - No.

I want Yavalla to see my face.

If this doesn't work, I'll cut your head off myself.

I'm sorry, Gwynn.

- ( gasping ) - I know you're in there, Yavalla.

Go to hell.

( gasping )

She actually killed her.

Did you say something, High Priestess?

The Queen is dead.

Then you are our queen now, High Priestess.

Well, do it!

Do it! Now!

( gasping )

Talon, what's going on? Did you just strangle me?

Can you feel Yavalla still?

No. No, I can't feel her.

( grunting )

Tobin!

What are you doing, Garret?

I know. Dying's painful.

I didn't say you could kill him.

You already killed your friend.

Would you have been able to decide who should die to save him?

Fine. Hurry up.

( gasping )

Tobin, you're okay.

It's all right.

I'm the Baroness of Aegisford

and I demand to be let in to see my husband.

( laughter )

- Hello, Baroness. - Do I know you?

Don't believe so.

But you want to.

And why is that then?

Because I and I alone decide your fate today.

Pardon me, but what are they doing?

What are you doing?

They're all clear.

Get your hands off me. How dare you?

You don't want to do this.

Lower your weapons.

Open the gate.

Take her grains to food storage.

And let's slaughter the horses for supper.

- You can't do that. - No worry.

I'll happily share the meat

with a lovely Baroness such as yourself.

Unless, of course, you don't want in

to the only remaining safe haven.

- Suit yourself. - Stop!

Wait.

Let us in.

Munt! Stop eating.

We're trying to make sure that people don't starve to death,

and there you are just stuffing your face.

I'm sorry, Janzo. I eat when I'm worried.

I'm worried about Warlita.

Yes, well, as am I about Wren.

How much did the Lu-Qiri bring back today?

- Nothing. - Nothing?

Livestock can't be that scarce already.

Not unless Yavalla's keeping it all for her minions.

That's exactly what she's doing, Munt.

She's stealing our food. The old hag's trying to starve us out.

Monstrous!

Munt!

See? Wasn't so bad, was it?

Yes. Not something I'm eager to try again, Garret.

You don't feel connected to Yavalla anymore?

No. That was very strange being connected

- to all those people like that. - Yes, I agree.

I'm sure Janzo will want to hear all about it.

But first, we need to get you out of here and back to the Outpost.

How are we going to get them out of here without being noticed?

Well, it doesn't matter if we're noticed.

I'm their Queen, and they still think Tobin and I are connected to the United.

Yavalla will see through one of her infected that you survived.

No. Yavalla only sees what she triggers

or what alerts her, like a commotion.

But if the United still think we're one of them,

no alarm bells should go off for her.

You're free. Get out of here.

She's a problem. Everyone knows she's part of The Three.

For everything she and the other two have done to plunder this realm,

best thing we could do is kill her.

- That wasn't our deal. - What deal?

We promised her safe passage to the Outpost if she saved you and Tobin.

All right, fine. How do you suppose we disguise her?

( indistinct chatter )

Make way for your Queen.

More refugees.

- Let's go. - No, we have to help them.

We can't. We need to get you back to the Outpost.

- They'll just slow us down. - She's right, Gwynn.

We need to make sure you don't become one of Yavalla's infected again.

This is all my fault.

If I hadn't have trusted Yavalla so quickly--

You were the first person to be infected, Gwynn.

You had no way of knowing what she was up to.

- I should have. - If anyone should have, it was Zed.

He's the one who insisted on bringing her through.

And he also just saved us.

- Hope he's all right. - I'm sure he's fine.

You humans have gotten no smarter.

And you, if Dred had killed you when he was ordered to,

Blackbloods would all be extinct

- and the Realm would be safe. - Whoa! Hey.

( groaning )

I just saved your friends.

And that is the only reason you're still alive.

You wouldn't have needed me

if you hadn't brought the white kinj from the Plane of Ashes.

We didn't bring it from the Plane of Ashes.

It was already here.

Hey, you.

My name's Janzo, not "Hey, you."

I'm looking for my husband.

Oh, are you? And who is your husband?

- Baroness Falista. - Hey, Munt.

What are you doing here? Where's Gertie?

Gertrusha's still in Aegisford. I'm afraid she's been infected.

Um, sorry to break up your little reunion here.

How exactly do you two know each other?

Oh, Janzo, this is Tobin's wife.

- What? - Yeah.

You're the one Tobin married to get an army?

How unfortunate. What exactly are you doing here?

I've already told you. I'm here to find my husband.

- Where is he? - Um, Tobin's already been infected.

He left and, um, who did he leave with, Munt?

- It was, uh-- - Ah, yes. Queen Rosmund.

Why didn't you tell me that in the first place?

I still have a few men left. I'll go after him.

Janzo, why don't you tell her?

Because we already have more qualified men

who have left to find them.

Plus, the, um, test rats, well, you see, the thing is

- is that they're dying at a faster rate. - Ooh, yes.

One would only hope that the difference is in metabolic rates in humans

causes them to, um, live a little longer.

I have no idea what you're talking about.

What I'm trying to tell you is that your Tobin,

- he might already be dead. - Yeah. Yeah, dead. Dead?

Hey.

You have to tell her.

I know.

But now's not the right time.

Look, if-- if you won't, I will.

You did just murder us, Garret.

Just give me a moment to breathe, okay?

And think about how I'm going to tell the love of my life that I'm married.

It won't get any easier.

What if Falista's dead?

That's-- that's what you're counting on?

- That your wife might be dead? - Yeah, I'm not proud of it.

- Wow. True love. - You know I had to do it to get the army.

Then Gwynn will understand.

No. She's a proud woman.

She will never have me again.

Why do you think she assumed Yavalla brought the white kinj through the Plane of Ashes?

Don't know. Could be just an assumption

since that's where Yavalla came from.

I'm not so sure.

- ( squeaking ) - Go on.

Next.

( grunts )

( squeaking stops )

Gents? Gents!

Oh.

Okay.

Hey.

Please, my friends.

Join and be United with us.

( grunting )

You let another infected in.

It was one of your men.

I mean, we screen all the men just like we do everyone else.

I have no idea how they got in.

From now on, the gates remain sealed.

Lock down the Outpost! Now! Forever!

There better not be any more infected

wandering around the Outpost,

or you'll be next in the ring, brewer.

I'll increase the checks.

You know, I, um-- I was thinking now that we're locked down,

there'll be less mouths to feed.

Perhaps-- perhaps, um, you can give me a barrel of grain.

I can portion it out and make sure it lasts a few days.

Nice try, brewer.

Please, Janzo, my daughter Ida, she's starving.

I have given her my portions, but it isn't enough.

I'm sorry. I'm doing the best I can. There's no more food.

She's dying. Help her, I beg of you.

I'll think of something, I promise.

Hang in there, Alina.

( muttering )

Oh, Warlita.

Aah! What is it, Janzo? Aah, what happened?

- We've got no more food, Munt. - Yep.

People are starving. Children are-- are starving.

The Lu-Qiri haven't brought any food in days.

Munt, we've got nothing left to feed people to keep them alive.

- Yeah. - ( rats squeaking )

- Shut up! - Shut up!

Stupid rats. I haven't been able to sleep in days.

( grunts )

Meat is meat.

- Munt? - Yeah?

Fire up the smoker.

Yep. ( groans )

Wh-- what--

Alina.

I know it's not a lot.

Thank you.

You've given us the gift of more time.

Every day is precious.

- ( laughter ) - ( grunting )

Will no one accept my challenge?

Fight me.

Are those Blackbloods?

Jaaris: Come on!

I won't use my power.

Now's your chance to kill me.

I know you pointy-ears all want me dead.

Weaklings.

Coward.

- ( laughter ) - ( grunts )

I've missed my daughter.

- Mother. - Time to join me.

( grunting ) Mother, let go!

Help me!

( slicing )

What do you say?

Thank you.

Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah.

Where do you think you're going?

Now's your chance to repay me.

It looks like we have a volunteer.

What are the Covenant guards doing at the Outpost?

It looks like they're not letting in any more refugees.

We passed a group of Covenant soldiers on the way to the Capital.

They said they were headed this way.

- Janzo must have let them in. - Why would he do that?

The only enemy we should have right now is Yavalla and the United.

Well, clearly not. We'll have to sneak in the back route.

We don't know what we're walking into. Garret and I will go.

You stay here under Tobin's protection until we figure it out.

No. No, I'm not staying here whilst you risk your lives for me again.

Gwynn, if the Covenant has taken over the Outpost,

you are the first one they will try to kill.

This is not up for debate. We all go.

I'm a scientist. I'm not a fighter.

Don't suppose you'd go for a battle of wits instead?

Come on, pointy-ears. Put up your hands at least.

Let her go. Please, let her go.

( grunts )

Fight with this.

Hmm?

Huh?

Look. I'll even put my arm behind my back.

Do it. Come on.

( grunting )

I demand you stop this at once!

- ( laughter ) - Baroness?

So glad you could join us.

Have you no honor, Commander?

Beating a woman?

She's a pointy-ear.

I don't care if she's a Greyskin.

I demand you stop this!

You still don't understand, do you?

You answer to me, not the other way around.

Nobility's dead.

All that matters is strength.

( screaming )

No.

She'll stay and watch this till the end.

Might teach her to control that mouth of hers.

Let me take her place. I'll fight you.

- Get off! - Your knight in shining armor.

Think of this as punishment for letting another infected in.

You lose your girl, I keep my brewer.

- He'll watch, too. - ( grunting )

- Janzo: Wren! - ( shouting )

- Wren! - It's over.

( laughter )

Who's ready to see me slaughter this pointy-eared scum?

Wren.

You ready?

I'm ready to see you try.

( music playing )

Talon!

I remember you from the road.

We didn't have a chance to exchange names.

Just call me pointy-eared scum.

You like the little sport we're having here, pointy-eared scum?

Hunting down and killing innocent peasants wasn't enough

for you and your Prime Order hounds?

I like a challenge.

Now you've got one.

- Get her out of here. - Wren.

( grunting )

Man: Get him now! Come on!

Red?

You must be the new One.

Your kinj doesn't work on me.

Is that what these things are called?

Yes.

But yours will die with you.

No.

This will always be our Outpost!

( cheering )

( cheers )

( music playing )
