Original subtitles

Previously, on "The Outpost"...

You all knew her as Queen Rosmund,

but she was my best friend.

I'm the rightful heir to the throne.

She's killing them.

There is no way that we are letting Falista sit on that throne.

The only one with the support of the people is you.

- Who are you? - You murdered my sister.

The Dragman.

I see you, betrayer.

- Who are you? - Someone who can help you.

You can bring him back to life like you did before?

Tobin. How?

All hail Queen Falista!

All hail Queen Falista.

How could you side with them?

I have not sided with them.

They tortured and killed the queen's family,

Tobin's family, and thousands others.

They are pure evil.

I know what I'm doing.

Then they have you under some sort of control.

Garret, don't be a fool!

Falista, stop.

You're killing him.

Do you accept me as your queen?

I never wanted it anyway.

Arrest him!

Hail Queen Falista and King Tobin!

Hail Queen Falista and King Tobin.

*OUTPOST* Season 04 Episode 02

Episode Title: "A Throne of Our Own" Aired on: July 22, 2021.

Spears is an obvious danger to your safety.

Is he?

He didn't try to kill Falista. He tried to kill you.

You... have no say in this matter.

I beg your pardon.

Tobin is my king.

He has everything to say in this matter.

Your Majesty,

we only have your best interest at heart.

Garret Spears will try to kill us again,

all of us, including you.

He must be executed for your own safety.

And to make an example of him.

Every man who's ever served under Commander Spears

worships the ground he walks on.

You kill Garret,

you make a martyr of him and lose their loyalty.

I value my husband's opinion.

Garret will remain alive but locked in my prison for now.

Your Majesty, if we are to rule together...

Together?

Let's be clear. Falista is queen.

I am your king. You are nothing.

We Are The Three.

Return his blade at once, I command you.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Don't forget,

I can kill you before you know what's happened.

We rule at the behest of the Gods.

And Tobin rules at my behest.

Of course, Your Majesty.

We are here to advise you in your rule,

and I do have a suggestion

to help you gain control... of your people.

What the hell were you thinking?

I was thinking about killing Two and Three.

So you tried to kill them right then and there

in front of everyone?

What happened to not being so impulsive

- and stupid? - I may not have gotten another chance.

Well, you didn't have a chance then.

Look, you're a good fighter,

but you were surrounded by soldiers,

not to mention the power of their kinjes.

You're right.

You're right, I'm... I'm sorry.

And now you're locked up

where they can kill you whenever they want.

No, Tobin would never let that happen.

Tobin was brought back from the dead by Two

at the request of his wife who just made him king.

Who do you think he has allegiance to?

- Tobin's a good man. - Yes, he is.

But he and Falista are under the influence of The Three.

I don't know what to do now.

What you need to do

is rally as many of my troops as you possibly can

to pledge loyalty to you in case things go bad.

The Relman Aegisford soldiers

just saw Tobin brought back from the dead.

They'll follow him to the grave.

And the Covenant soldiers are loyal to The Three.

We have a few farmers and twenty or so Outpost soldiers left.

Then we need to find someone else to join our cause.

There is no one left.

Octor Seven.

Deal another hand.

Who is that?

Oh, don't know.

But she's good at Octor.

Better than Talon, maybe.

- Except Talon doesn't cheat. - What?

This will be your last round.

No, I'm just getting started.

Yeah, we need a chance to win our money back from the girlie.

First of all, don't call me a girlie.

Second of all, you won't win.

All right, that's it, you're done.

I don't tolerate cheating in my establishment, do you hear me?

Fine. This will be my last hand.

Hell it is.

Girlie... will keep playing till I win my money back.

I told you not to call me a girlie.

And the house won't let me play anymore.

Why, because you're cheating?

I didn't say that.

Well, yeah, you did, Janzo. You said it behind the bar.

Munt, shut up.

Give me my money.

I must insist that you, um, hand over that blade please.

There's no open knives in the Nightshade. Come on.

- Not till she pays up. - Put the knife down.

You heard what the man said.

No blades.

And what are you going to do about it, girlie?

I told you not to call me a girlie.

Thank you.

Uh, thanks.

Munt?

This is an unlawful gathering

under the laws of the Prime Order.

The Prime Order is dead.

Let go of me!

Get off me!

Serving of intoxicating drink is hereby illegal.

This establishment is permanently closed.

Destroy it all.

Just wait a minute... oh.

Wait.

King Tobin and Queen Falista

have reinstated the laws of the Gods.

Anyone who does not obey

will be considered a traitor to the crown.

Munt.

Let go of me!

You are scum, every last one of you.

Cretins!

I will hunt you down one at a time and kill you!

What are you staring at?

A very wet and apparently very drunk girl.

I'm not very drunk.

A little drunk maybe.

- Not very. - Uh-huh.

Is that how you ended up in a prison cell?

They threw me in this turd hole

because I beat all their friends at Octor,

took all their money, and broke one of their hands.

Really?

You remind me of someone.

Oh, here we go.

"Don't I know you from somewhere?"

Are you trying to get with me, mister?

What? No. No, no. No.

What are you? 14?

18. I think. Not really sure.

All I'm saying is that you really

remind me of a friend of mine.

When she first showed up at the Outpost,

she was always getting into fights

and beating men at Octor,

and got thrown into more prison cells than I can count.

Gods, you're just like Talon.

- Talon? - Do you know her?

I met her.

She your girlfriend, or something?

I guess you could say that, yes.

She's too good for the likes of you.

Oh, well, you might be right there.

She may well be the next ruler of the Realm.

So, what's holding her back?

Someone else is sitting on the throne right now.

He the one who made those Prime Order thugs shut down that pub?

She. She. Queen Falista.

Wait, she shut down the Nightshade?

Yep.

Then it's already begun.

Talon doesn't like this new queen, huh?

- No. - Interesting.

It's fine.

Hey, hey.

Janzo, something I can do for you?

Uh-huh. I have a question about your anatomy.

Blackblood anatomy. That came out weird.

Well, what is it you want to know?

I'm just curious, um,

can your ears change color for any reason?

The tips, specifically?

Yes, our ears are an indication of health.

Different colors mean different ailments.

Uh-huh. And what about when they turn white?

White?

Well, that one's pretty ominous. Pretty ominous, indeed.

Zed, Wren's ears have turned white.

- They have? - Mm-hmm.

Oh, Janzo, that's going to be a very serious condition for her.

And in a few months for you, too.

- It's contagious? - In a manner of speaking, yes.

Right.

What's the condition?

Oh, I can't remember the name of it

in your language.

You'll have to ask Wren.

Wait, Zed?

Zed?

Go away.

We need to talk.

I asked around, and all of the Blackbloods

- are missing their Lu-Qiri. - All of them?

I thought a few of them just went hunting or something.

Do we know where they want?

The more concerning question is why they went.

Well, let's track them and find out.

We're already days behind.

Then we'd better go now.

I'm so glad you're alive.

I can't say I disagree with that sentiment.

And now we're king and queen,

just as we both always wanted.

Power is such a strong aphrodisiac.

I don't know, it...

This just doesn't feel appropriate.

- Why? We're married. - This is Rosmund's bed.

Was Rosmund's bed.

I don't know, it just feels wrong.

All of her stuff is still here.

You don't love me.

Of course I love you, Falista.

I just feel like...

Like Rosmund's ghost is gonna be watching me.

I know, it's stupid.

We can have all the decor changed. Will that do it?

It's not just the furniture.

It feels like I shouldn't be here at all.

We can select another room to serve as our chambers.

No, I mean, I shouldn't be here, alive, back in this world.

It's what the Gods willed.

The Gods?

Since when do you believe in the Gods?

Tobin, I witnessed their power myself.

Two brought you back to life through the power of the Gods.

Two brought me back to life by murdering 20 of our men.

- No, she didn't. - Falista,

I saw the bodies myself when I awoke.

Well, isn't that what your men signed up for,

to fight or die so that you may live?

- No, not like that. - Yes, like that, Tobin.

The Gods willed it.

Believe me when I tell you that they are false Gods.

Don't let those two monsters seduce you with their lies, Falista.

Tobin, Two and Three do not claim to be Gods themselves.

The Gods just simply work through them.

Their Gods do not exist.

They do exist. I've seen them myself.

What do you mean?

I've seen them.

They speak to me.

Because... I'm one of The Three.

I'm queen and I'm One.

Two different Lu-Qiri tracks. That makes five.

That means they came through here fairly recently.

Well, they're still going in this direction.

You know, Talon, I haven't had the chance

to tell you how sorry I am about Gwynn.

I know how close you two were.

Thanks.

I don't think I've seen an act of bravery greater than what she did.

I just wish I could've done it for her.

And thank you

for helping me find my father.

I know you didn't believe you could help

with the whole Yavalla thing.

Truth be told, I didn't even think he'd be alive.

Wrong as always.

One thing I've never been wrong about... is you.

What's that supposed to mean?

Just that you always seem to be on the right side of things.

You're incredible.

Are you flirting with me?

I'm trying to convince you why you should be leader of the Realm.

- It's too late for that. - It's never too late, Talon.

Falista is on the throne.

For now, but if you decided to change that,

Blackbloods would back you.

All you'd need to do is just bring them through.

So that's what this is about.

Last time I brought the Blackbloods through,

they tortured and imprisoned my friends.

That was all Yavalla. It wouldn't happen again.

It's not a good time, Zed.

They'll just destabilize things even more.

Besides, their Lu-Qiri would just run off like ours.

Leave.

Well...

I'm very happy to see you alive, Your Majesty.

Give it a break, Spears.

You're one of the few people remaining... who I trust.

I need your help.

Not gonna be much help to you locked in here.

That's why I'm here to let you out.

- But there's a condition. - Really?

You must pledge your allegiance to your queen Falista

and to me as your king.

- That's not going to happen. - Why not?

- You don't trust me? - No, I trust you, Tobin.

But the way I see it, I wouldn't

be pledging my allegiance to you.

I'd be pledging it to The Three,

and that is something I will not do.

Spears, The Three are not in charge.

They serve at Falista's pleasure.

Falista has the red kinj. She is One of The Three.

Tobin, I... I know firsthand

just how much Two and Three

can influence even the strongest of minds.

I know.

She's already doing everything they want.

I'm concerned about that as well.

But believe me, I've been watching her carefully.

She only does what she agrees with.

Then why did she shut down the Nightshade?

Why did they arrest that girl for gambling?

Frankly, I'm surprised they aren't pushing

for my execution in the public square.

Oh.

Oh, I see.

They already tried that.

But that's the perfect example.

Falista refused to do it.

Give it a few more days. They'll convince her.

Not if you pledge your loyalty.

The Three have already taken everything from me they ever will.

So long as I draw breath,

I will never pledge my loyalty to them.

Spears, you don't have to.

Pledge it to me and Falista.

Tell you what, I'll pledge my loyalty

to you and Falista right now

if you can look me in the eye and give me your word

that you will kill Two and Three the first opportunity you get.

I can't do that.

I know.

Because you're in league with them.

Because Falista is one of them.

Spears, you're not hearing me.

Falista is not one of them. I trust her to do what's right.

I wish I did.

Then rot in here.

Tobin. Tobin, you have to stop them.

You don't know the evil they're capable of.

They killed your own father.

Good-bye, Spears.

They made me kill mine.

You're really an idiot, aren't you?

What are you talking about?

In a situation like that, lie.

Pledge your loyalty, dummy.

They're only words, anyway.

That's not how I choose to live my life.

Like I said. Idiot.

I had them make us thrones of our own.

Do you like them?

I guess so.

Go on, try it out.

Isn't this just wonderful?

We're finally where we always wanted to be.

What's wrong?

I don't think we're really ruling here, Falista.

It's like we're puppets to Two and Three.

We need them for now. The Covenant Guard follow them.

So? The Aegisford soldiers and Relman soldiers follow us.

I know what I'm doing, Tobin.

I'm using Two and Three to cement my power.

And then?

And then we revisit this discussion.

We have to stop them.

Xaba, no!

Vikka, let him go!

Finally, we reconnect after all these years.

I've missed you, but we'll be together soon.

Zed.

Zed.

- Well, they didn't kill us. - Don't know why.

We didn't hesitate with them.

Maybe they still have some loyalty left for Blackbloods.

The rain washed away the prints.

Now we can't track them.

What happened, anyway?

What do you mean?

You were controlling Vikka and then you just froze.

I had a vision. It was a face.

It wasn't human or Blackblood. It was something else.

- Did it have horns? - Yeah, on its head

and its chin, and high pointed ears.

But they weren't like ours.

I had the same vision a few days ago,

although whatever it was called me "the betrayer."

How do you know it was talking to you?

I don't.

It just felt like it.

Well, what do you think it means?

- I don't know. - Wren might know.

We should head back and talk to her about it.

- What about the Lu-Qiri? - We've lost them now.

Something tells me this vision might be more important anyway.

What?

I'm just worried about you, that's all.

- Why? - Your ears, Wren.

They're turning even more white.

Janzo, I told you it's nothing to worry about.

Wren.

What are you trying to hide from me, Wren?

What do you mean? I'm not trying to hide anything.

Zed told me.

- That bastard told you? - Mm-hmm.

And he said it was a very serious condition,

that I'll probably get it, too.

Oh, he's messing with you, Janzo.

It's not a serious condition and you can't catch it.

There's nothing to worry about. Come to bed.

If there's nothing to worry about,

then why did you just react like that?

Calling Zed a bastard? What do you think Zed told me?

Oh, I didn't want to tell you yet.

Tell me what?

Janzo, a Blackblood woman's ear tips turn white...

- Hmm? - ...when they're pregnant.

Oh, thank Gods.

I thought you were going to tell me some deadly disease

or something where we'll all die.

- Pregnant? - Mm-hmm.

You're pr... mm.

I'm going to be...

Yes, you're going to be a father.

Oh, oh, oh, oh!

You.

You're free to go.

I am?

Stay sober and stay out of trouble, kid.

I'm not a kid.

You want to stay in here?

I am a kid.

Just a poor innocent kid.

Better.

Now get out of here.

See?

Tell them what they want to hear.

Thanks for your help.

Now I know how to pay my debt to Talon.

What does that mean?

Hey!

Don't do anything stupid.

Do you think it'll have black blood or red?

Maybe an amalgamation like a maroon-burgundy.

- I don't know. - 'Cause it matters, you know.

If it's got black blood, well, that means it'll heal faster.

Do you think it'll have spiky ears?

I knew you couldn't handle this. I shouldn't have told you.

Oh, we're breaking boundaries here, Wren.

We're making history! My ba... our baby...

Our baby is gonna change the world.

Oh.

You're going to be the greatest mother there ever was.

I've never really had a father, so steep learning curve,

but promise I'm going to try to be the best father I can be.

So you're all right with this then?

All right? I'm ecstatic.

I'm going to be a father.

- I love you, Janzo. - I love you, too, Wren.

Hey, do you think those pointy ears of yours,

can they give us any indication...

Do you think we'll have a boy or a girl?

I don't know.

We'll have to wait for that answer.

I think I want a boy.

No. No, I want a girl.

Where are you going?

To tell everyone Janzo's gonna be a daddy!

Can...

Wan we not tell anyone for now?

- What? - Just to keep it to ourselves.

Oh.

- You're ashamed of me. - No.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

I just don't want people treating me differently.

You know? Like I'm some kind of fragile egg.

All right. It's going to be hard.

But if that's what you want, I won't tell a soul.

Just so you know,

I'll be treating you like a fragile little egg.

Are you all right?

Was he here to assassinate me?

I think so, and that was a she.

- Talon? - No, she was too small to be Talon.

- Why did you let her go, Tobin? - Let her go? What?

I had her under my control and you released her.

I was trying to defend you.

I had it under control.

I doubt she survived the fall anyway.

Is she dead?

Obviously, this assassin was sent by Garret Spears.

What?

Garret's been locked in a prison cell.

How could he have sent someone?

He is quite connected in this Outpost.

But it wasn't Garret. He would have sent a better assassin,

someone who would have succeeded.

Even if it wasn't Spears,

a conspiracy to kill you exists, Your Majesty.

And how do you know that?

It could have been one young nutter

trying to prove how tough she is.

Even so, this is exactly why we need more order in the Outpost.

The military must crack down.

You really think there's a whole conspiracy?

I do.

You should start a search, root out all conspirators.

Hold on. Let's take a breath.

Let me do some investigating.

I can find out who she is.

I don't see why we can't do both.

Order the search.

By your command, Your Majesty.

You're making a mistake giving them any power at all.

They can't be trusted.

Right now, I trust them more than anyone else

in the Outpost except you.

Clearly, they care about my safety.

The only thing they care about is their own power,

and you're giving it to them.

Oh! There's some left in this one, Janzo.

Munt, now that the Nightshade is closed, tell me,

how am I supposed to earn a living, huh?

Don't know, but you're really smart.

You'll find a way.

I am a bloody genius, aren't I?

And now it's more important than ever. I have a family to support.

- Oh, you mean me? - What?

No, not you. Yes, you, too, Munt.

Thanks for caring, Janzo.

You know what? I am a bit hungry.

Munt! You can't keep wasting things like that.

It's just a carafe, Janzo.

It's a decanter, Munt, and decanters cost money.

I need to save every penny I can for the child.

Oh, that makes sense. Did you say child?

Hmm?

I said, um, wild.

In case we have to go... Go live in the wild.

No, you said child. He said child, didn't he?

- That's what I heard. - Yeah.

- Yeah. Janzo? - Hmm?

Did you find a child by the side of the road?

- Did you buy one? - No, of course I didn't buy a child, Munt.

What do you take me for, our mother?

- Sorry. - Fine, fine.

So, if you didn't find a child by the side of the road,

and you didn't buy one,

where did this child come from, eh?

Well, there is no child yet.

- Yet? - Yeah, what does that mean?

It means... if I tell you,

you must promise me that you won't tell a soul.

- Promise. - Yeah.

Wren's pregnant.

How did this happen?

Oh, you mean you and Wren?

And now she's pregnant with my baby!

Oh! Oh!

Do you know what this means, Janzo?

I'm going to be an uncle!

I'm going to be an uncle!

Are you the one called Warlita?

I am.

The queen requests your attendance.

What for?

Apparently, to give her a bath.

First thing, we should go through the smith's books.

- Get Janzo. - Who's that?

Just get Janzo now.

What happened?

Garret said you wanted to get rid of the queen.

So I tried to pay my debt to you.

You tried to kill Falista?

Yeah. Blew it, though.

That was really stupid. What were you thinking?

You again. Really?

You're repeat bad news, do you know that?

So I've been told.

Right. You'll live.

Lie back and I'll see to your wounds.

Thank you.

No, no! No!

Let me go! No! No, no!

What's going on out there?

They're searching houses.

Great.

Can I help you?

We are looking for a wounded girl.

Haven't seen one.

If you see someone matching the description,

bring her to us, understood?

Yes, sir, of course.

Hey, why is there a big metal door down there?

Where's that go?

Let's finish sewing you up.

We need to go see Wren.

- Hmm? - Babysit her for a while?

- I'm not a baby. I don't need a... - It's an expression.

Right. Why are you going to see Wren?

Was it her idea? Did Zed say something?

- What's up with you? - Nothing.

We just need to ask Wren a question about some Blackblood stuff.

Lu-Qiris, visions. Is that all right with you?

Yes, of course.

You go and, um, I'll stay here

and I'll, um, look after the girl.

And stay here.

That's the face I saw.

And I've been seeing the exact same one.

Any idea who or what it might be?

Why would I know?

I just thought now that you're the High Priestess...

Zed, all the knowledge in the world

didn't just pop into my head when my mother died.

This isn't a Gods-given magic or a kinj or something.

- I know, I just thought... - It'll take years of study,

all the texts passed down for thousands of generations,

and quite frankly, I have no intention

of starting such a daunting task.

Well, take it easy, Wren.

I just thought you might have seen something like it

or your mother might have talked about it or something.

You're both having the exact same vision?

- Mm-hmm. - Mm-hmm.

Except he called me "the betrayer."

Pretty strange.

Do you know what it is?

No clue.

Well, at the risk of you jumping down my throat again,

any idea why all the Lu-Qiri might have left?

I have no idea.

We tried to track them, but they knocked us out cold.

And our ring whistles are ineffectual.

Pretty worrisome.

When will you give the order to execute Garret Spears?

Never. We're not prepared to do that.

I didn't ask you, I asked the Queen.

You are not one of The Three.

- No, I am the king. - Meaningless.

Your Majesty, we have taken the liberty

of writing an execution order.

If you will just sign it, we could be done with this discomfort.

As the king said, that is not going to happen.

Spears is clearly a danger to your safety.

- I don't believe he is. - Of course he is.

If you will not give a simple order

to protect yourself, then I will.

Pass this order to your commander.

Garret Spears is to be executed at once.

I said no!

You are weak.

I will show you how weak I am.

Have you forgotten?

Your kinj won't work on me.

However, I can use mine whenever I please

to gain the advantage over you.

- Never forget that. - Back away from her.

See to it that Spears is executed before sundown.

I said back away from her.

Cancel that order.

- We should kill her, too. - No, we might need her.

You will need me, I can assure you.

You are a wise queen, and I give you my word

I will serve you well.

You better.

It appears now that we are The Three.
