Emerald City (2016–2017): Season 1, Episode 1 - The Beast Forever - full transcript
While looking for her mother, Dorothy Gale is swept up in a tornado and lands in a mystical world where the powerful ruler of a kingdom faces the wrath of witches and a mythical force.
Shh, shh, shh, shh, shh.
Shh, shh, shh.
Oka.
Please, I-I'm sorry.
Please help us.
X-ray technician to four south.
- Morning, Ollie.
- Good morning.
Uh, I wouldn't give
Mr. Richards Methotrexate,
if I were you.
Allergies, Sam.
Thank you.
You try working 30
hours straight.
Yeah, well, I'm not the one
who wanted to be a doctor.
You want to go out
to dinner tonight?
How about I just come
over after dinner?
You always come over after,
but there's never any before.
Look, all I'm saying is.
Dorothy.
It's Mrs. Clifford.
One time... for heaven's sake, let
me just have this one time.
Mrs. Clifford.
Oh, hi, Dorothy.
Just once, I'd like the red.
It's okay, Lisa. I got this.
Thank you.
- Mm.
- You little troublemaker.
Give me that. - [Giggles.
It looks like you went to war.
It was sort of like
a war, actually.
You got everything
but your nails.
This is true.
This is true.
But I got those nails.
Look, I got those nails.
They're wonderful.
It is a beautiful color, though.
Come on, give me your hands.
Dorothy
Aunt Em.
We're looking at a
severe weather warning.
- That's right.
- Until about 11:00 p.m.
Until 11:00 tonight,
and, of course,
you all remember that awful
tornado that swept through...
There's a mix of 50s
and 100s in there.
50s are yellow.
Just don't mix them
up, Em, please.
I told you to stop doing this.
And I told you to stop
lifting with your back
and go to the doctor.
I'm fine.
You went to see her, didn't you?
Kare.
It's all right.
She wouldn't have
written to you
if she didn't want
you to know her.
I'm sure that's why
she moved back here.
- I don't know her.
- Hard to from your truck.
Yeah, well, nothing gets
better in my truck,
but nothing gets worse.
Dorothy she's your mother.
You're my mother.
And if she really
wanted to know me,
she would've reached
out 20 years ago.
Do you want to know
what I wished for?
I wished I was more.
Nothing fancy or nothing
to brag about, just...
I don't know... I always imagined
that when I'd meet her,
I'd be... more.
That's a fine wish, but
wishing doesn't make it so.
What if she's nothing
like I imagined?
What if I'm nothing
like how she imagined?
Only one way to find out.
Karen!
Ms. Chapman!
Kare?
Kare!
Ms. Chapman?
Oh, no.
- [shrieks.
- It's okay, it's me.
It's me. It's me, Dorothy.
Dorothy
Dorothy ..
Dorothy ..
- You need help.
- No.
No, nobody can come in here.
- Dorothy, no.
- Hey!
No! Hey, we're in here!
Dorothy, no police.
Police... not good.
No.
You have to run.
You have to run!
Hey!
Hey, we're in here! I need help!
Hey.
Hey.
Hey
Hey.
Hey! Hey, we need help!
No, no, no, no, no, don't shoot!
No, no, don't shoot!
Sto!
Stop, we need help!
She's..
[screams
[groans
Oh, God.
Oh, my God.
No, no, no, no, no.
Come on, please.
Pleas.
Hello, hello, hello?
Oh, God, what's happening?
Bad dog.
I'm sorry. I don't
understand you.
Where am I? I don't
know where I am.
good dog
These are the Tribal Free Lands.
You are trespass.
Excuse me, I-I don't
know how I got here.
If... if you could just point
me to the nearest road...
look, I could just get
a ride from there.
Pleas?
You..
You... you found her.
You know this woman?
Um, there was an accident,
and she...
she stepped in front of me.
You killed her.
This woman.
I tried to help...
Witch.
[gasps.
You killed the Mistress
of the Eastern Woods,
The Most Merciful and Stern.
I told you, it was an accident.
Only a witch can kill a witch...
or The Beast Forever.
You are no beast.
And I'm no witch.
Why are you doing this to me?
I am Ojo of the
Tribal Free Lands.
You are trespass.
No, no, no, no!
Okay, no more. No more.
Please, I was stuck in a storm.
I was stuck in a storm.
I was gonna go see my
mother, and I don't know...
I don't know how I got
here, but, please...
please, just don't put
me back in the water.
I'm no one. I'm no one.
I really... I really am no one.
I don't mean anything, I don't-
I- I don't know anything.
Pleas!
She has sisters...
in the West and in the North.
And the Wizard of Oz...
you will most certainly have
to answer to the Wizard of Oz.
What's happening?
A decision has been made.
You are to be exiled from
the Tribal Free Lands,
never to return.
I will take you to our border.
And then what?
And then you will step over it.
Ugh.
Your toto looks hungry.
My toto?
"Toto" is "dog" in our language.
Medicine..
For my head.
Are you a healer?
I guess.
I like to help people...
when they're not
trying to drown me.
What is that?
Is that the beast you
were talking about?
No.
The Beast Forever drowned
this and hundreds like it.
So the beast is a flood?
Beast Forever takes many forms...
Floods that meet the sky,
fires that water
cannot extinguish,
monstrosities that
slither and soar.
So how do you stop it?
Who stopped it before?
A wizard...
with those.
Eternal Warriors...
they formed a wall
around Emerald City
to keep The Beast Forever from
flooding our entire world.
Yeah, definitely not Kansas.
Why do I get the feeling,
Isabel, when I stop playing,
you're gonna deliver
some horrible news?
Something has
happened in the East.
- It's the Wizard.
- Sir.
This drone was over the
Tribal Free Lands last night.
Near the Munja'kin village.
Wait.
Slowe.
Closer, closer.
Do we know what it is? Not yet.
But it tore the sky.
And that is the first true sign.
Now The Beast Forever will rise.
Go East, Eamonn.
Find out who or what
fell from the sky.
Make sure it stays fallen.
Don't you want your High Council
to examine the first true sign?
If it's alive, kill it.
If it's dead, bury it.
Whatever it is, it
doesn't come back here.
It doesn't come back
to Emerald City.
Safest way, around.
Shortest way, through.
Then I vote around...
around as we can go.
Through.
Ah.
Ah -
What is this place?
A prison.
Prison of the Abject.
Most secure.
For anyone who violates the
Wizard's law against magic.
Who's that?
My wife.
- I'm sorry.
- You should be.
You killed the witch
that put them here...
maybe the only one
who can free them.
Mistres of the Western Fields,
Vessel of Truth and Solace.
Sorry to keep you waiting.
You should have
sent someone ahead.
I did.
Well, you should have
sent someone else.
So many soldiers here...
we tend to lose a few,
especially when they're afraid.
There's rumors of magic.
If it were magic, it
wouldn't be yours, would it?
The rip in the sky?
No.
No magic here.
I found a new line of
work, thanks to you.
So poppy business up,
whores exhausted,
blood in the sky, and you
perambulating around the people
with Glinda's girls.
It has begun.
- First true sign.
- It is.
There is no doubt. - [Groans.
You may know everything there is
to know about The Beast Forever.
I'm sure my sister in
the North only picks
the best and brightest for
the Wizard's Council.
Mistress West...
But you were a baby
the last time it came.
You wouldn't be so eager
to reach that conclusion
if you remembered.
Enough
How far along are you?
Aren't they supposed to
be... what's that word?
Chast?
Helps keep them focused
on saving the world.
Isn't that Glinda's only rule?
I couldn't do it.
Too much love to be had.
He's the father.
Follow the brick road
to the Emerald City.
The Wizard is there.
Tell your apologies to him.
Can this Wizard take me home?
That's all I want.
I just... I just really
want to go home.
The Wizard is great
and powerful.
He can get you home.
[sniffs.
Poppy pollen.
Opiu.
Thanks.
Do not thank me.
I voted to have you killed.
Um, Toto?
Help me.
[groans
You okay?
I can't feel my arms.
[grunts.
You have a deep wound here.
What happened to you?
I...
I don't know. I don't remember.
- How about your name?
- [stammers.
What's your name?
No!
I'm just gonna check your head.
I'm a healer.
I think you're too late.
This is probably yours.
It was at your feet.
I'm gonna put it away, okay?
[grunts.
It's getting dark.
We should try
and find some food.
Am I coming with you?
I don't know.
Are you?
Wizard's Guard approaching!
The girl is gone.
But the Witch of
the East remain.
That looks good.
Mmm.
Could you, um...?
I wish I could say I'm not
usually this useless,
but, um...
maybe I am.
You don't look useless.
How do I look?
I actually don't know
what I look like.
You're very h...
Very...
We should name you.
Even the dog has a name.
Uh, well, whatever
you want to call me.
No.
No, that's too much
responsibil ty.
- No, it's not.
- Yes, it is.
A name has permanence.
Well, all the more reason.
Well, I try to avoid
responsibility and permanence.
What's the first name
that comes to your mind?
- I'm not doing this.
- Go.
- I can't.
- First name...
- No, I...
- Comes to your mind.
- Right now, go.
- Lucas.
Lucas?
Is it terrible?
[chuckles.
Why Lucas?
It's the town where I grew up.
Huh.
So Lucas is home?
Mmhmm.
All right.
Well, Lucas it is.
Doroth.
Doroth.
Doroth.
Hey, you're hurt.
Prison..
Prison of Abject.
I woke with the strangest
taste in my mouth...
You.
Do you know who I am?
[groans.
Witc!
S-S-Ste n.
Merciful and Stern.
Steel won't help you, swordsm n.
Unless you want to open your
neck and end your hurt.
[screams.
That's the merciful part.
Why did you come for me?
I didn't!
Are you one of Glinda's girls?
Did she send you to hurt me?
Who?
My sister...
My sister with her secrets.
I came through a tornado.
I don't know how, but I did.
In Oz, nothing good ever
comes from the sky.
So, when something does, we try
to send it back in pieces.
Put that down.
Put it down. It's dangerous.
I'll be the judge of that.
I'll be the judge of everything.
Don'!
Or what?
Or you'll die again and forever.
My, my...
so pretty and so stupid.
Only a witch can kill a witch.
What does it do, and
how does it work?
Let him go, and I'll say.
I don't make deals.
[screams.
Okay, okay! Fine, I'll tell you.
I'll tell you. I'll tell you.
You're pointing
it the wrong way.
See?
That wasn't so hard, was it?
Squeeze the trigger. Squeeze it.
The Witch of the East is dead.
By whose hand, we don't know.
Sir, this was magic...
strong enough to kill
a cardinal witch.
Glinda ..
No.
But there is only
one man to blame.
20 years ago...
King Pastoria and
the magic realm
fought The Beast Forever!
They fought bravely!
And they lost!
If it were not for me,
Emerald City would have fallen
like many great cities of Oz!
I will protect you from
The Beast Forever,
who ravages our land!
I will protect you
from the forbidden
magic in the woods!
I will protect you
because I am the
great and powerful.
Wizard of Oz!
Dorothy..
We should go.
Where does the road lead?
To Emerald City...
to the Wizard of Oz.
And he can help you?
Oh, yeah.
He can move mountains.
And he can probably
take me home.
Maybe he can fix my head?
Shh, shh, shh.
Oka.
Please, I-I'm sorry.
Please help us.
