MISTRESS: Previously on "The Outpost"...

- What does your kinj do? - Unites our people

and takes us all to paradise.

JANZO: Maybe it connects all of the stingfly brains together.

- Like a hive. - (BOTH GRUNTING)

- Red kinj! Ah! - (GASPING)

I can't control it. I am dangerous.

She's a good person. You can trust her.

Take it. It belongs in you.

I believe I misjudged you. Release the Baroness. She's free to go.

Do hereby release you from our marriage vows.

You are now free to marry Rosmund.

TALON: There's a black kinj.

Maybe the only weapon that'll kill Yavalla.

- And where is it? - There's someone in the Plane of Ashes

- who might know where it is. - Who?

- My father. - Come back alive.

I always do.

(YELLING)

(GRUNTING)

Cut his throat and it'll be the last thing you ever do.

(LAUGHING)

Corven? Get off me! What are you doing?

Corven, stop it.

Wren? This is fantastically unexpected.

Get off me, Corven!

Don't you move or I'll damn well cut your head off.

- Corven, it's me, Zed. - I know who you are!

You're an agent of evil. You should die.

- Let him go. - My brother is evil's agent.

Its enforcer. A pawn of the oppressor.

No, Corven. Zed has come here with me with only the best of intentions.

Corven, you trust me, don't you?

My Wren. My dear, dear Wren. Of course I trust you.

And what? You don't trust your own brother?

- (CORVEN GROWLS) - Back off!

Good. Good, good. Now let him go.

Corven, for me.

Only for you, Wren.

You came back for me, Wren.

We all did.

Not Zed.

He left me here to die.

Wait a minute, Cor, you wanted to stay.

You were proud to be at Yavalla's side.

Quiet!

I don't want to hear your sounds.

Your voice, your heart beating,

I want it all silent.

(LAUGHING MANIACALLY)

(THEME MUSIC PLAYING)

Janzo!

(KNOCKING)

MUNT: Janzo, let me in!

Janzo!

- Janzo, please! - Munt.

Who's there? Franco?

It's me.

Janzo, thank the gods.

- They won't let me in. - Munt, you can't come in.

You're infected.

If I let you in, you'll infect us all.

Oh, but, Janzo, you... you won't leave me to die out here, will you?

Munt, you're not going to die.

You... you run along

and you go and hide in the forest until it's all over, all right?

Janzo, Mum told you to look after me.

I'm your little brother.

You have to help me.

You know we cannot let him in, Janzo.

Send your men to go and block the smugglers' route through the dam wall.

We don't want him to get in that way.

Right. I'm sorry, Janzo.

Now, Munt, you get away from here, all right?

If you try to come in, they're going to kill you.

- Go on! Go! - No, Janzo!

Shall we prepare to attack?

My child, the invasion has already begun.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

Fire.

Reload.

So, Commander Spears, what's the verdict?

We're ready, Your Majesty. We will defeat her.

You seem confident.

Yavalla's minions are mindless automatons.

Only a few are even trained soldiers. The rest are peasants.

- So you think we have a chance? - A good chance.

We have plenty of food and soldiers, thanks to Tobin and Falista.

Fire.

- Reload. - I'm sorry.

I... I know it came at a personal cost to you, Gwynn.

Well, given the circumstances,

how we rebuild doesn't much matter now.

Your men and I can hold this Outpost. Don't you worry.

It makes me happy to see you like this, Garret.

I've missed your swagger.

It's good to feel useful again.

- Your Majesty. - Yes. Come on.

Ahem. Lord Tobin?

I'm sorry to intrude, Rosmund, but I do need to speak with you.

Uh, maybe in the morning in the throne room,

- not here in my quarters. - No. What I have to say,

I need to say now.

Warlita, can you give us a minute?

(DOOR OPENS, CLOSES)

Ever since Falista acquired her kinj

and since you so gracefully released her,

circumstances have changed.

So much so that...

Falista offered to release me from our marriage.

The army is yours, devoted to Your Majesty, the Queen,

regardless of what I choose to do.

What do you mean what you choose to do?

It's my choice now.

I'm a free man,

and I can't hide from this anymore.

I, uh...

I messed things up all around, didn't I, Rosmund?

I hurt you.

I hurt her.

And I... I hurt myself.

But now I'm ready to make things right.

Because of you, I am a better man, Rosmund.

Because of you, I see things more honorably,

which is why I've made the choice to...

to stay with Falista.

Uh, I see.

When you... When you locked her away

and when there was a chance that she may have to die,

all my old feelings for her flooded forward.

I must have suppressed them out of loyalty to you,

but I have loved her since I was eight years old, Rosmund.

I belong with her.

I thought you should hear it from me.

I appreciate that, Lord Tobin.

Rosmund, I will... I will always love you...

as my queen.

My army is yours, my land is yours, my food is yours.

And I am your loyal servant forever, Queen Rosmund.

Lord Tobin, I am grateful for your loyalty.

Uh...

I... I can't do this.

This hurts.

I love you, Lord Tobin.

- Rosmund, I... - I'd like to be alone now.

Thank you, Rosmund.

For what it's worth, I misjudged Falista. She is a good woman.

Yes. Yes, she is.

And if I may,

Garret is a good man.

- (GROANING) - What happened to him, Wren?

He was sickened during Mother's mission to steal the meld box.

So why didn't you get him to a healer?

I was the closest thing to a healer in the Plane, remember?

I did everything I could to help him.

He was much worse than this before.

Look, I'm sorry about whatever happened to Corven.

But will he lead us to the cave where Yavalla killed my father?

Talon, can you just wait a second?

Your father is not more important than my brother.

I never said he was, Zed.

It's not about either of them.

We need to find the black kinj.

It might be our only hope to kill Yavalla.

You're right. I'm sorry.

I'll try to talk to him again.

Maybe he's calmed down.

Corven! Corven?

I know seeing your brother like that is rough, Zed.

I'm just worried about everyone else.

Corven, time is of the essence.

We need your help. Now.

You need my help?

How could I possibly help you in my condition?

My circumstances?

My predicament, hmm?

We have a map, right?

A map that you made.

Where did you get this?

Death. This is death.

Why is it death? What does that mean exactly?

Who is this human who keeps speaking?

She's not a human, she's a Blackblood.

- Another agent of Yavalla! - No.

Quite the opposite, actually.

Yavalla has proven to be everything you accused her of,

and now we must stop her.

And to stop her, we need you to show us to these caves.

(CHUCKLES)

Nothing but death in that hole.

Corven, I need you to do this for me.

I know that I have no right to ask you to return to that place,

but there is no other way.

- Please. - Wren, dear Wren,

if I show you where it is,

you can't go down in there.

You can't.

Zed can go down.

Let Zed go down.

Fine. Fine, Corven.

You and I can go in together,

fighting side by side just like we used to.

- You and me? - Yeah.

Why should I help you? You didn't help me!

Corven, you know I would do anything for you.

- We were just following orders. - Shut up!

Death down there. That's all.

That's where death lives.

Promise me Zed goes down. Maybe the girl.

But you have to swear to me you won't go in the hole, dear Wren.

That's the only way I'll show you where it is.

All right, all right. I won't go down.

Just show us.

Come on.

200 head of cattle stabled in the east quarter.

400 barrels of apples in the cellars.

Your Majesty?

Gwynn?

Sorry. I got a little carried away there.

Is there, uh, anything that I can help with?

Not unless you can change the past.

Maybe there's a kinj for that.

Don't even joke.

- Tobin? - Am I that obvious?

How long have we known each other?

A lifetime. And so did they.

Yeah? Tobin and Falista?

Mm. Yeah, they were childhood friends

and then they were lovers, like you and I.

- So he told us. - And how can I...

How can I fault a man for holding a love in his heart

he's had since he was a child?

I can't deny him that when I've had the same feelings for you.

Garret, this is not some attempt to seduce you.

I mean, Talon's my best friend. She means the world to me.

Thank you for always being there for me.

And I always will be.

I hope she makes it home safely.

So do I.

She cut her ears, didn't she?

- Yes, she did. - It's unnatural. It's deceitful.

Talon was the last survivor of our people in the green world.

She did it to hide among humans.

I don't trust her.

I don't trust my brother, either.

Zed always takes away anyone I love.

- What are you talking about? - Mother?

Father? You killed them both.

They died in battle, Corven, you know that.

You were in the same battle. Why didn't you die?

I don't know. Luck, I guess.

No! It's because you killed them!

- Corven! - Corven!

- (CORVEN GRUNTING) - Talon, let him go.

He's not helping, and he's almost killed Zed twice.

- It's not his fault! - Then who's fault is it?

It's mine! It is my fault!

What do you mean it's your fault?

- You did this to him? - Zed, I wasn't there

when my mother took the box from Saivek Redwan.

I was there when she returned with only two men left.

A third arrived later, and it was Corven,

but he was more dead than alive.

- And? What happened? - Apart from his hand,

he had no other wounds, so I figured he'd been poisoned somehow.

But I didn't know what had poisoned him, so I couldn't give him an antidote.

So it was the poison that did this to him?

No, no. His brain was perfectly intact, but the poison was killing him.

And he was in a lot of pain. It was awful.

Mother told me just to end his misery, and I couldn't do that,

so I had to think of something,

and I knew that fireworms were immune to all poisons.

I always hypothesized that maybe it was something to do

with the chemicals or a property or something in their...

- Wren! - Right.

So, I gave Corven an infusion of fireworm blood

in the faint hope that it might neutralize the poison.

I didn't know what else it would do.

And I mean, it worked, right? It saved his life.

But he also couldn't control himself.

He started attacking people, just about everyone but me.

He was particularly hell-bent on killing my mother.

Yavalla left me there.

I got her the box,

and she just left me there to die.

Zed, I'm sorry.

It was an untested idea. I had no right to do it.

But I had to think of something, otherwise he would have died.

- Oh, you must hate me. - How could I hate you?

Corven doesn't hate you.

All I see is gratitude.

You saved his life.

You weren't there, Zed.

You left me behind.

Just like Yavalla!

She sent you here to kill me, but I'm already dead.

I'm not here to kill you, Corven!

You're my brother! I love you.

Yavalla betrayed all of us, and we can't stop her without your help.

I'll show you the way.

YAVALLA: The time has come.

Go now. The way is open to you.

Bring the Outpost into my fold.

No. (SNIFFLES)

No. I don't want you to see me like this.

- I spoke to the Queen. - When's the wedding?

You'll excuse me if I don't come.

Well...

it already happened.

What? You should have made a grand affair of it, Tobin,

to show everyone.

I was talking about our wedding.

Mine and yours.

But I released you from your vows.

I don't want to be released.

I'm confused.

Falista, I love you

and I want to be married to you

if you'll have me.

What about this thing in my head?

The kinj, I can't control it. What if I hurt you?

We'll figure it out together.

CORVEN: We're here.

- Go, Zed. - What's down there, Corven?

(CHUCKLES)

Tell us what happened to you.

No! Nothing but death in there!

- Go! - Corven, listen to me.

We need you to show us the way.

No! I'm staying out here.

With Wren. Don't worry!

We'll wait until we're sure you and your friend are dead!

I'm sorry, Corven. I have to go with them.

No! Deal was, you don't go down in there.

Only Zed and the ear-cutter.

- I'm sorry. - You promised.

Everyone lies to Corven.

You lied to Corven.

Seemed like the only way to get you to help us,

- Corven, I'm sorry. - I'm not going back in there.

- I'm not! - It's all right. It's all right.

You don't have to. We have the map to lead us from here.

Corven, wait here. I will be back for you.

- I promise. - No! Death is down there!

I'm going with you.

If you die, dear Wren...

I die beside you.

Come on.

Down here, it all comes to an end.

Shh.

You smell that?

Corven, why do you keep saying death is in here?

Did Yavalla kill my father?

No. I killed him.

What? You killed him?

No, I didn't.

You killed him or you didn't kill him?

Yes.

No blood.

Death touched him before he ever got to use it.

Did Yavalla ever tell you what happened

to the warriors that didn't make it back?

Talon, all I know is that Yavalla took eight of our best warriors

and Corven and two others were the only ones who made it back.

Five, six, seven, eight.

TALON: Eight against one.

Yavalla wasn't taking any chances.

Death doesn't die.

Um...

You know there's no way Yavalla left your father alive, Talon.

Maybe he got away.

Why didn't he go after her?

Look, I don't know.

But something killed Yavalla's men

and Corven keeps saying "death doesn't die."

Yeah, well, in case you haven't noticed, Corven's crazy.

The black kinj.

It's death. That's what Two said.

Which is saying it would be a miracle if your father was still alive,

- so don't get your hopes up. - Hopes.

I don't know whether to hope he's alive or dead.

Hated him my whole life.

But I want answers.

I mean, why would he abandon his family to live in a cave?

Just don't want you to feel the same disappointment I'm feeling.

Apparently we took the wrong turn two tunnels ago.

Corven?

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

Garret.

Hey, any sign of Munt today?

(RATS SQUEAKING)

- Hello, Janzo. - Stay away from me, Warlita.

Stay away.

They're all infected. Garret!

Garret!

What is it, Janzo?

Warlita's infected!

- What? - They're all infected!

- Fall back to the keep! - (JANZO SCREAMS)

Fall back to the keep!

Go tell the Queen!

Garret!

Garret!

Come! Come on!

(INDISTINCT SHOUTING)

Barricade the entrance points to the keep!

Use whatever you can find!

Move! Move! Get that barricade up!

- (RATS SQUEAKING) - We're not infected.

- Let us through! - Look! Look!

Let them in. They're not infected. Let them in.

Come on, come on, come on!

Come on.

Stop them! Aah!

- Push back! Push them through! - Hold the line!

- Hold the line! - Push back!

- Tobin. - We'll hold them back! Seal it up!

You heard the man! Seal it up!

Let it rain, boys!

(YELLING, GRUNTING)

(SCREAMING)

Tobin! Tobin!

- Whew! - Tobin, that was nothing short of heroic.

- Has anyone seen Falista? - No, why?

I haven't seen her.

Ah.

Don't worry, Miss. It won't hurt.

Ah! Aah!

She can't be converted. Let's kill her.

(SCREAMING)

Please stop!

(GRUNTS)

Knock, knock.

(INDISTINCT SHOUTING)

Falista's still out there. I have to go...

- I'm going after her! - You can't go back out there.

- I have to try! - You'll die!

I'll die saving my wife, Rosmund!

I have to go, Rosmund.

Falista's got a kinj. She'll be safe. She's immune.

If they can't infect her, they'll kill her.

- You know that! - Come on, Tobin.

- Let go of me! - The escape hole that you dug

in the barracks wall is still open.

If you must go, go that way.

Maybe you can get to her there.

Thank you, Janzo.

Barricade won't hold much longer. We've lost too many.

Did you send Tobin to rally more men?

No. He's gone to save his wife.

This is the place. We have to turn back now.

It's all right.

It's all right.

Ugh.

I recognize the marking on these cloaks.

This is Wulf and Rakka, my mother's guards.

Are any of them my father?

Get out! We shouldn't be here!

I'm sorry, Talon. Doesn't look like there's anything alive in here.

Look for any clues about the black kinj.

That's what we came here for.

- Here's something. - No!

- Don't touch that! - Why? What's inside the box, Corven?

Only pain.

And burning.

And suffering.

Madness.

Yavalla took the only valuable thing in that box.

- Do not touch it. - All right.

Nothing in here. Nothing!

Hello there.

It's me. It's Tobin.

- Are you all right? - You came for me.

Of course I did. Come here.

- Are you hurt? - No. Oh, I was so scared.

My kinj fought one of them off,

but I couldn't make it work again,

and they were coming from everywhere,

- and it hurt so much. - Falista, it's all right.

It's all right, Falista. They're dead now.

But we need to find our way back to the keep.

- Stay close to me, understand? - Mm-hmm.

- Okay, let's go. - Wait.

All right, let's go.

(DOOR OPENS)

(MUSIC PLAYING)

(CROWD SHOUTING)

The way through to the barracks is closed.

We'll have to figure something else out.

- Gods above, how do we get through here? - There's no way!

We could sure use that kinj right about now.

Wish I could figure it out.

All right, if we get over to that balcony,

we can shimmy across that ledge

- over the barricade. - Okay.

Come on.

- I've done this before. - (GASPS)

Go over the railing, stay close to the wall.

- I'm coming right behind you, okay? Go. - Okay.

- Go! - (WHIMPERING)

(CROWD SHOUTING)

Tobin!

- Go! - Tobin!

(ALL SCREAMING)

Tobin!

(GRUNTING)

We need to go.

(SCREAMS, GRUNTS)

(ARROWS THUDDING)

FALISTA: No.

- No! No, Tobin! - (GRUNTING)

- Hey. - (GRUNTING)

(FALISTA SOBBING)

- (GROANING) - No, he's hurt.

Put him down. Put him down. That's far enough.

Careful. Be careful. Janzo, we need you!

You're safe now, Tobin, okay? Just hold on a little longer.

Help's coming. Stay with me. Stay with me.

- There. Stay with me. - (GROANING)

- GARRET: Janzo! - Tobin.

Tobin?

(WHIMPERING)

- Give me some room. Give me some room. - Tobin?

Tobin?

(GROANING)

Come on, Tobin. Come on!

Falista, he's lost a lot of blood.

- (SOBBING) - His body's getting cold.

No!

- I'm sorry. It's too late. - No! No! Do something!

Janzo, you have to help him.

Don't you think I would if I could?

(TOBIN COUGHS)

I'm sorry, Gwynn.

FALISTA: No.

Don't go, my love.

(SPUTTERING) The... the queen.

Use your power to protect the queen.

(GASPING)

No.

No.

No, Tobin!

(SOBBING)

No!

Tobin, no.

(MUSIC PLAYING)

Gods, look at that poor bastard.

Took four men to do that.

Talon.

I think that's your father.

That's him.

Oh, I'm so sorry, Talon.

Gods, he's barely even decayed.

Why would Yavalla do this to him?

Let's just remove the spears. At least we can give him a proper burial.

Don't touch me!

I'll kill you.

I told you!

It's death.
