Into the Badlands (2015–…): Season 1, Episode 3 - Chapter III: White Stork Spreads Wings - full transcript

Fan out.

Kill them all.

Colts, stay put.
You're on lookout.

Find the widow.

Minerva.

Open the passage.
Get the girls to safety.

Hurry!
Come on, go!

Come on, come on, come on.
Let's go, let's go.

Okay, okay.

Tilda.

Tilda, hurry!



No one comes after my family.

We both know I was
doing you a favor.

Mm.

Baron!

Um...

Jade, I appreciate it, but you
really don't need to be here.

Ryder's gonna be
my family as well.

Do you know
why Quinn proposed to you?

You're a distraction.

Something to feed his ego.

Make him feel young again.

I understand
you're upset, baroness.

But I am not the enemy.

Well, if you believe that,
then you really haven't



the faintest clue
about this life.

I've been in this house
since I was a girl.

I understand
more than you think.

When your son is lying in
front of you slipping away

while you look on, helpless,

then you can tell me
what you understand.

So a word of advice
from one wife to another...

A baron's home isn't a
sanctuary, it's a battlefield.

Quinn isn't interested in peace.

He never was.

He loves to fight.

Now, if you would do me
the courtesy of leaving

so I can be with my son

in private.

Mari, is everything all right?

- The clippers are coming
back through the gate.

- And the baron?

He's leading them.

He was a good man.

Now he's a dead one.

Sunny.

I found something.

The widow had it.

I can't read it, but
it's a book about Azra.

You went inside that house?

I had to get the book.

Come with me.

So the widow got away.

Good news travels fast.

Well, congratulations, Quinn.

You gave her exactly
what she wanted... a war.

Remember the last one?

Two years under siege,
food shortages?

Let those bastards
try and come at me, huh?

I took her oil fields.

And now your clippers are
spread over two territories.

You think they'll be able to defend
themselves stretched that thin?

- I was avenging Ryder.
- Oh, you don't give a damn about him.

You're just worried
about looking weak.

Well, thanks to your son,
I had no choice.

Don't you dare talk about him

when he is lying in there dying.

- He's not dying, woman.
- Then why won't he wake?

His breathing
isn't more than a whisper.

Something is wrong.

And what would you have me do?

Well, I would say go fetch
the doctor, but he's dead.

Of course, you wouldn't know
anything about that, would you?

Your face, it's cut.

- Come here.

Heels out, arms up.

Now stay there.

- How long?
- Till I come back.

This is bullshit.

This is lesson one
in your training.

It's about time.

Get up.

Look out there.

What do you see?

Horses, cogs, poppies.

That's your problem.

You only react
to what's in front of you.

Look beyond this wall.

Beyond these fields.

That is our way out.

Do you still want to go home?

You know I do.

Then you have to
start listening to me

or you'll get us both killed.

I'm not the one who's
gonna get us killed,

the baron is.

Attacking the widow
was a bad idea.

I didn't do it for Quinn.

We need to find her.

As long as she's still alive,
she's gonna hunt you down.

- Never forget that.
- If you're so worried about me,

maybe you should teach me how to
fight so that I could defend myself.

Okay, you wanna fight?

Let's see you fight.

You need to see Ryder.

Well, that's kind of you
to be thinking of him.

But I can't look at him
in that state.

I know somebody
who could help him.

But Lydia won't like it.

You save her son...

she'll find it
in her heart to forgive you.

I'm embarrassed it's taken me
this long to stop by.

A baron's wife doesn't have
any reason to visit my clinic.

I'm still the same girl
you grew up with.

I was so sorry
to hear about your parents.

I'm guessing this isn't
a condolence call.

Ryder has been injured.

He should have recovered by now.

Everybody is worried.

And you want me to come
and take a look at him.

I'm surprised
the baron would approve

of a cog doctor
tending to his son.

I vouched for you.

I have a simple life.

I wanna keep it that way.
I'm sorry, jade.

I can't let Ryder die.

Just please help.

Now, that sounds
like two visitors.

One is Sunny for sure

and the other is somebody...

Small.

Waldo, meet M.K.

I was Waldo's colt.

You were a clipper?

Regent.

What happened?

Well, let's just say I don't
get around much anymore.

M.K. here seems
to think training

is only about fighting.

I was hoping
you'd help me out with him.

Aw, sunshine, you sure know how
to make an old man feel young.

I'd be real pleased to pitch in,

except, well, this runt
is just too damn small.

He's never gonna make it.

You wanted to fight.

Now you fight.

Him?

No way, he's in a wheelchair.

What's the matter?

You afraid you're gonna
get your ass kicked?

- No.
- If you can land a hit on him,

I'll train you any way you want.

And...

I won't even use my legs.

This is ridiculous.

Come on.

All right.

- All right, enough.
- Oh, good.

I'm getting kind of tired
of kicking your ass.

Get up.

Now, you lost that fight
before you threw a punch.

You saw a busted-up old man
in a wheelchair.

You underestimate
your enemy in battle,

odds are you won't live
to see another.

You know why we call 'em colts?

'Cause we gotta break 'em

like wild horses.

That's the only way to make
a clipper out of a boy.

Lydia, this is veil.

I know who she is.

Baroness.

He suffered a major trauma.
His brain is swollen.

I need to relieve
the pressure immediately.

You're not touching him
with that.

This is a trepanation device.
It's the only way.

And I'm sure you do fine work,

but you're not qualified
to treat my son.

Injuries don't discriminate
between cogs and barons.

Get out.

How long does he have
if we do nothing?

He'll be dead by nightfall.

You have to let her try.

It's very important that you
keep his head completely still.

What is this place, mother?

Every butterfly needs
a sanctuary.

This is ours.

Go to the doll house.
Fetch angelica.

With Sunny alive,
her life is in danger.

- Hurry, child.
- Yes, mother.

You must be veil.

Jade told me about your parents.

They were good people.

I'll do everything in my power

to find the scum
that killed them.

Thank you, baron.

How's my son?

Improving.

But he's not out of the woods.

You're the girl
Sunny's been wicking.

You don't think I know how my
regent spends his spare time?

I must say he has
exquisite taste.

Ryder's bandages
will need changing.

I'll return in the morning.

Thank you.

I'll have to find the
proper way to repay you.

Who set you up?

- Hey, Ringo.
- Hey.

The widow's gone underground.
You hear anything?

No, but, um, I'll let you
know as soon as I do.

You haven't stopped by
for a while.

Yeah.

I think I'm done
sitting in that chair.

You quit clipping?

I quit keeping score.

You know what's funny?

Every clipper and colt
through that door...

They all wanna be you.

And you...

You don't wanna be you.

Regent, baron's looking for you.

Well, guess it's time to
get back to work, Sunny.

What are you doing here?

Believe me,
I didn't have a choice.

Sunny.

Get in here.

Tell them.

It was a doll
at the tick-tock club.

Angelica.

She set me up.

Top floor,

last room on the right.

The blonde.

Alive, Sunny.

She'll lead us to the widow.

Yes, baron.

Is this another
training exercise?

We're going to a doll house.

I want you to get up
on that balcony

and make sure
she doesn't get away.

I'll watch from down here.

Give me a description
of this girl

so I know what she looks like.

She'll be the one
running for her life.

Hey.

I brought you home. I trusted
you and look what happened.

It's not what it looks like.

Then why are you wearing
that colt uniform?

You've been lying to me
since we've met.

I lied because I was scared.

You know what your mother
wants to do to me.

You're better off with her
than you are with Quinn.

I know you don't believe that.
She's just as bad as he is.

You don't add up.

Neither do you.

Oh, is that what you want?

Now, that's gonna cost extra.

You came to the right place.

Ah. Hey!

Stop!

Where is the widow?

I said where is the widow?

You'll never find her.

You're going to tell me
where she is.

You can't stop her.

And you can't stop me.

Go.

Go!

Something I can do
for you, regent?

I need a stitch job.

Sunny, what happened?

I'll tell you in the back
when you're sewing me up.

She's the one
you want me to protect.

Am I right?

Stay put and don't
touch anything.

Okay.

Who's the boy?

My colt, M.K.

Your colt?

Why take on a colt
if we're leaving?

Nothing's changed.

Don't worry.

Those arms and legs,
did you make them?

Yeah, they're called mimics.

And the books?

You can read?

Out.

Maybe he's good practice
for what's to come.

I want you to stay out
of that house.

I don't have a choice.

At least not
until Ryder's recovered.

I should have let him die.

Quinn knows about us.

We can't leave soon enough.

73.

That's how many days you were
gone when the nomads took you.

I spent every waking moment
standing at this window.

I even started praying again.

But when you walked back
through that door,

my sweet little boy was gone.

In his place was a broken,
damaged thing.

I didn't wanna see that.

So I held you close.

Tended to your wounds.

I even cleaned
and dressed your foot

when you were too ashamed
for anyone else to see it.

I taught you how to walk again.

I did everything for you, Ryder.

I thought I could
bring you back.

That you had the will
of your father.

But you don't.

What is this about?

A mother's love
is a powerful thing.

But it can blind you.

You tried to have
the widow killed.

You disobeyed your father,
then lied about it.

I was acting
in his best interest.

One in a lifetime
of stupid decisions.

Decisions that I defended.

Much as I hate to admit it,

your father's right.

You don't have what
it takes to be baron.

Get out.

I'd rather have you hate me
for the rest of your life

than stand over your grave.

You're on your own, Ryder.

It appears I have ruffled the
feathers of my fellow barons.

They view the possession
of the widow's oil fields

as a violation
of the foundation treaty.

They want to parley.

You'll be walking
into an execution.

Agreed.

I need to make an alliance

with a baron who hates me less

than he hates the others.

Jacobee.

I can't make a direct overture,

but as I recall, you've a
history with his regent.

I haven't seen Zypher
in a long time.

Well, now's the moment
to rekindle the relationship.

Unless there's
gonna be a problem.

Not at all, baron.

He's sleeping.

Well done.

Hello, Zypher.

You look like shit.

Good to see you, too.

What are we doing here, Sunny?
You miss me?

Quinn's not showing up
at that parley.

He's making a mistake.

Seems to be doing that
a lot lately.

Quinn's not the enemy.

The widow is.
You know that.

Sunny, the other barons
don't want a war.

There hasn't been one
in five years.

Now, there is a way
for you to stop all this.

Avoid a lot of bloodshed.

You think I'm gonna clip
my own baron?

The other barons will
recognize you for it.

Jacobee will make sure of it.

Then you all divide up
the widow's oil fields

and everybody wins.

I need you to arrange a meeting
between Jacobee and Quinn.

Ugh, loyal to a fault.

What's in it for me?

What do you want?

Well, you have to ask?

Who is she?

Aw, and you think
she's gonna save you, huh?

You know we're both
way past saving, Sunny.

You gonna tell me it's serious?

You're playing with fire if
Quinn finds out, you know that?

Are we finished?

Yeah.

I'll talk to Jacobee, but
don't hold your breath.

I won't.

The other offer's still on the
table if you change your mind.

You know I'm a lot more persuasive
when I get what I want.

I'm sorry I wasn't able to
get to angelica in time.

I'm sure you did everything
in your power to help her.

You were the last one
in the tunnel today.

Yes.

That special book,
the one on my desk,

you didn't see it, did you?

No, mother, I'm sorry.

I didn't.

Good night, Tilda.

What are you doing here?

How did you get
outside the wall?

It's probably better
you not know.

I'm guessing you didn't
tell Sunny you were coming?

Something smells good.

Oh, thank you.

You're welcome.

You know, I'm still
trying to figure out

why Sunny took you on as a colt.

I'm still trying to figure out
how you two ended up together.

Normally, when Sunny shows
up, people end up dead.

Look, you didn't come here
to hear my little story.

You have to read
this book for me.

It's beautiful.

I don't recognize this language.

Hello.

Baron?

Your door was unlocked.

You should be more careful.

Where's your escort?

Oh, I sometimes walk alone.

It helps to clear my head.

Is everything all right?

- Did something happen with Ryder?
- No, Ryder's fine,

thanks to you.

You took control
of a desperate situation.

I'm in your debt.

Intelligence is an intoxicating
quality in a woman.

Please...

just tell me what you want.

It's very simple.

You saved my son.

Now save me.
