Raised by Wolves (2020–…): Season 1, Episode 4 - Nature's Course - full transcript
Paul?
There's no need to run!
If you can hear me,
I want you to scream out
as loud as you can.
You are not safe.
Paul?
Come on, come on.
Aah!
Help!
Aaah!
Aah!
It's time to sleep now, Paul.

Set me down.
Is there a problem, Captain?
Set me down.
I thought this was
a virgin planet,
no prior civilization.
This has intelligent design...
Symmetry.
It has five points,
like in the prophecy.
You'll know them by their shape
and their number.
The temples in the holy land,
where Sol hid the answers
to the Mithraic Mysteries.
Mysteries...
It's warm.
Take off your gloves. It's warm,
you can feel it...
The power of Sol
coming from inside.
It's warm.
Keep your eyes closed, children.
I'm weaponized.
Mother... you should know
that Father saved us.
He was very useful,
and he helped us, and...
It was stalking near the lander.
It's mildly aggressive.
I have yet to decide
what should be done with it.
What is your opinion, Mother?
I will leave that
for you to decide.
An unusual answer for you.
Father, I am sorry for my...
My critical words.
I was in error when I told you that
your kindness makes us less safe.
But you were not in error,
Mother.
My behavior
endangered the children,
almost cost Campion his life.
And I fear,
despite your kind words,
I am losing your respect.
- Father.
- As well as my own.
And I lost Mouse down the pit.
And... and then I fell and fell,
and I thought
I was gonna burn up.
And she saved me...
The necromancer, she saved me.
We'd all be dead if it weren't
for Mother and Father.
The android only showed up
because we prayed to Sol.
You acted like a coward.
We all did.
Except for Vita.
I can't believe
I lied to Father.
You're insulting your real parents
when you call them that, you know.
I never knew them.
How can I insult them?
You can.
They're with Sol in the light.
They're always watching you,
just like our parents are.
Is that where your mouse
is now, too?
With Sol?
No, animals don't go anywhere
when they die.
Death is the end of them.
What are you making?
It's a weapon, isn't it?
I thought we weren't allowed
to make weapons.
That is going to change.
I'm going to use this
to kill the creature
so that you and the others
can eat it.
What do you mean?
You can't kill it.
You don't want your new friends
to starve, do you?
No, but I'll find something else
we can eat.
Just give me a little time.
Mother and I have scoured the
forest many times over the years.
- There's nothing out there.
- Yes, but I'm hungry,
and it will make me look harder.
It will cloud your thinking,
if it hasn't already.
Just let me try, Father.
It's forever. Death is forever
when you're an animal.
Death is forever for all
organic life forms, Campion.
Fine. Whatever you want me
to say, I'll say it.
Just, please, let me try
and find something else
- we can eat.
- It's a waste of time
and calories,
but if it will help acclimate
you to this... -Come on, then.
Let's get to it, Father!
I thought you destroyed them.
I like to recycle
whenever possible.
I'm sorry they tricked him
like that...
Your android friend.
Father can be very...
trusting.
But that's good.
I had a boyfriend back on Earth
who was kind of the opposite.
It was exhausting.
The powers I possess have only
just come to light,
and I fear Father
may now feel inadequate.
Well...
can he do things
that you can't do?
He's quite amusing at times.
Do you wish he was as powerful
as you are?
I want what is best for you,
for the colony, for your baby.
We'll find a way to make sure
that everyone is taken care of.
Maybe you could use your mobile
lab to bring it to term.
Like you did with Campion
and the others.
Do you know
how fortunate you are?
I've always wanted a child
that came from me.
You are a creator,
whereas all I'll ever be...
is a creation.
Well, I'd gladly switch places
with you.
I'd love to be able to
do the things you can.
Children often ask for things
they do not really want.
I'm not a child.
What are you making?
A scalpel.
What? Wait.
Wait, no, I... I didn't mean
that you should take it out now.
Are you listening to me?
It's time to sleep now, Tempest.
Sleep now.
No, I don't want to sleep.
Come with me.
It's time to sleep now.
Sleep now.
Hey.
Hey, they moved again.
- That's it.
- No. No, no, no, no.
- I'm just gonna talk to him.
- You're not gonna talk to him.
I'm gonna talk to him, okay?
We know how it goes
when you talk to people.
Excuse me, Your Eminence.
The children have moved again.
We should mobilize.
Sol has left us a gift.
We can't leave until we open it.
We can come back here
after we get the children.
As much as it paints me
to say this to you, Sue,
but it may mean that the children
aren't meant to be rescued.
We can't jeopardize
our holy mission
because we're too weak
to sacrifice the things we love.
No, can you just...
Please, do not listen to her.
There's no access,
Your Eminence!
We'll stay here.
We'll use the explosives
to make an entrance,
and then we'll get moving.
No!
We must be careful
not to destroy what's inside.
Please.
Very well.
Captain, breach it.
Ensure the troops
only use hand tools.
Yes, Your Eminence.
Chemical composition
is unfavorable to humans,
potentially deadly.
Now, can we stop wasting
energy and get... -No.
There!
I see something!
- Can you lift me up, Father?
- If you can't get it yourself,
it's not really
a viable food source, is it?
Well?
Digestible.
Yes? Go on.
Favorable composition.
Yes?
Some caloric value.
So it could work?
We can eat it?
We won't have to kill it.
The lander will have to do
a more rigorous analysis.
But it does look promising.
I was wondering if you could
take a look at my hand.
Of course.
It's a nice piece.
I was in a band lander accident
back on Earth.
Keeps seizing up on me.
Just needs to be realigned,
that's all.
To think you left Earth
knowing nothing about medicine,
now you're its last
remaining practitioner.
Sol helps those
who help themselves.
Do you really believe
that he won't judge us
by letting our children die?
My husband is ready
to lead the attack,
and I promise you
he will not fail.
Better?
Yes.
Will you consider what I said?
The sun is sunk, the shadowy
night is reigning in your room.
We pray to Sol,
his saving light...
...to guide us
through the gloom.
You don't know it?
I don't think so.
Is it from the scriptures?
Yes.
- I think it's going to work.
- I really do.
I hope so.
- Can I name it?
- If you wish to.
What was that name of the Earth
food that everybody liked?
- Pizza.
- Yes!
I love that name... pizza.
What are you doing?
Nothing.
It's going to work.
It's really going to work.
Trace levels of hydrocyanide.
It's toxic.
There's no pulse.
Have you finally decided
to strip it for parts?
Tempest asked if it
could be repaired.
She wants to use it
to carry her fetus to term.
I've decided to allow it.
Why?
She was impregnated
against her will.
We have six remaining
synthetic womb sacks.
If we can repair the lab's
internal system...
Her traumatic stress
is treatable.
You shouldn't tamper
with the natural process.
It's like that old saying
on Earth, Mother,
"Let nature
run its course."
Nature has no course.
I am against it.
But I'll leave you
with the final decision.
I've decided to slaughter
the creature we captured.
Slaughter it?
The children need to eat.
There's not much meat on it,
but it should be enough
to keep them from starving
for a few days,
until we capture another.
Should I kill it now, then?
No.
I said I would do it.
But I can do it more quickly,
without any mess.
No, Mother.
I need to be... more useful.
I don't want Campion seeing.
It'll pain him.
You know as well as I
that his sense of empathy
is highly pronounced.
Yes.
And if we don't teach him
to mitigate those feelings,
it will surely get him killed.
Stop.
What?
- What is that?
- What?
That!
I can't hear that.
Aah! What is that?
Oh, you can't hear that?
What? What?
Aah!
- You can't hear it?
- No, I can't hear it.
What's going on?
Hold him down.
He's a ticker.
His mind's been infected
by the necromancer.
He's not a ticker!
He needs medical attention!
- He's ticking!
- Let me treat him! Just give me a second!
- He'll kill us all!
- Get off him! Just back off!
Give me that!
Get her out of the way!
Let go of him!
Let him go!
Sol, catch this spirit
before it falls
- so he may join you in eternity.
- No!
Shine your light as he walks
the dark corridor.
- Please wait!
- Just Wait! I said wait!
Your Eminence, it's an ear wig.
It's one of ours.
Captain, look.
You trying to get rid of me,
Your Eminence?
I would never resort to
such atheistic treachery.
How do you explain this?
Well? Go on.
See, this man has never
set foot on a battlefield.
Now he treats those of us
that did like we're disposable.
If I had fought in the war,
I would not be able
to carry the light.
We all have our duties,
our functions.
But if you wish to challenge
Sol's law,
then I implore you,
strike me down.
See where it leads you.
She was gonna kill my husband.
She has the Ear Wig transmitter.
It was her.
They often malfunction when
they lose pairing with their siblings.
No need to apologize
for the accusations, Captain.
Your error was understandable.
Anyway, it looks like
she can still be repaired.
No repair necessary.
Campion, stop!
I'm setting it free.
I won't let you do it.
Yes.
You've changed my mind.
You're going to do it.
Now, grip this tightly.
And when you're ready, jam the
spear into the creature's flesh.
Then repeat the action
until it dies.
It will take practice to get over
the revulsion the act will trigger,
but those feelings
will dissipate with practice.
You can do this, Campion.
It's part of growing up.
Then I want to remain a child.
Perhaps your new friends will
feel differently about this.
Mother!
Mother!
Father won't listen.
He's going to make us kill it.
You must stop him.
You all need to learn
how to survive.
It's part of the natural
process of life.
Now, it won't be easy,
but I'll be right next to you,
guiding you.
Now, do not be alarmed.
Stop it, Father!
What is going on?
Why haven't you killed it yet?
I'm not going to do it.
The children are.
There's no point putting it off.
We could break down
unexpectedly.
They need to know what to do.
I will handle this, Mother.
You don't need to worry.
I won't involve Tempest.
Not Campion, either.
He can continue
to eat the carbos.
There's no reason
to make him do this.
I'd also like to spare him
from this, but we can't.
Give me a few hours.
And when you come back,
it will all be done.
I noticed some debris from the
Mithraic's ark in the forest.
Perhaps I can find the parts
I need to repair the mobile lab.
Tempest needs to eat soon.
If this isn't done by the time
I return, I'll do it myself.
Well?
Are we setting it free?
I'm sorry, Campion.
Mother!
You know this is wrong.
I know you do.
You're good, Father.
Goodness will not
fill your stomach.
I don't care.
We're not doing it.
Easy for you to say, Campion.
You can eat the carbos.
Yeah, I'm the son
of a senior Cleric.
I can't kill.
That would make me impure.
Um, but killing can be done
by military families
and, uh, androids like yourself.
It's for all of you now...
if you want to survive.
Eventually, Mother and I
will be gone,
and you will have to
take care of yourselves.
As your number grows,
so will your need for food.
So you will begin hunting.
Now, one of you,
take up the spear,
kill it as quickly as you can.
You'd better kill it soon,
while there's still
some meat on its bones.
Aah!
Got it. I got it.
You're causing it to suffer more
by delaying its death.
They slaughtered animals
on Earth for food
for thousands of years!
I'm going to make you
finish this task!
Come back here!
Now!
At least you're not intelligent.
I died once.
Death can be very unpleasant
when you're intelligent.
Warning... sim is not intended
for android interface.
Begin simulation.
Warning... sim is not intended
for android interface.
Welcome, sister.
We will pray, we will worship,
and we will atone for the sins
we committed on Earth.
And when we reach
the promised land,
Sol will reward us.
Welcome.
We will pray, we will worship,
and we will atone for the sins
we committed on Earth.
And when we reach
the promised land,
Sol will reward us.
Welcome, sister.
We will pray, we will worship,
and we will atone for the sins
we committed on Earth.
And when we reach
the promised land, Sol will...
Campion, what are you doing?
I told you children never
to play with this equipment.
I told you,
and I told you and...
I can fix them.
I can fix them.
No, you cannot
fix this, Campion!
'Cause these are not broken.
These are dead.
All six of them dead!
And dead is forever!
Get out.
Get out!
- Don't tell them.
- What?
Gabin and Spiria, don't
tell them what they were.
Get out!
Mother, don't be mad at Campion.
He didn't do anything wrong.
It was me and Gabin.
We accidentally melted
the snowballs.
The snowballs?
Why did you lie to them
about what these were?
I don't know.
They're not any younger
than you are.
Their capacity to understand
is exactly the same as yours.
They didn't need to know.
It would just make them sad.
Are you going to tell them?
No.
Go ahead.
You said you wanted to.
Why do things have to die?
It is nature.
And nature is flawed.
Well done.
Wow.
Batteries.
Always come in handy.
She's worth more now
than when she was alive.
See, I didn't know they taught
these things at the Mithraic academy.
They don't.
War took me everywhere. You
pick up little things along the way.
I fear Ambrose
ordered the android
to do that to you, Captain.
And there are some among us that
fear that he has lost his faith.
I've sensed that, as well.
- Hey.
- Hey.
Do you know these, uh, lines
from the scriptures?
It's along the lines of,
"The sun is sunk,
shadowy night reigns..."
- "Reigning in your room."
- "Reigning."
"We pray to Sol,
his saving light
to guide us through the gloom."
Yeah.
Sue, that's not scripture.
That's a lullaby.
Every Mithraic child knows it.
I just wanted
to hear it recited.
It, um...
comforts me.
Yeah, me, as well.
Lucius, could you, uh,
give us a moment, please?
Ambrose knows I don't know
that stupid lullaby.
He knows.
I just don't understand why
he didn't try and take me out
along with you.
He can't kill you.
He knows they, uh, need a medic
to survive.
I'm gonna kill him,
make it look like an accident.
No. No,
'cause it's gonna backfire.
There's too many eyes on us.
We're just gonna have to go
and get Paul ourselves.
No, the odds go way down
if it's just you and me.
Well, it's better
than if we stay here.
All right. Okay.
We'll go before dawn.
And until then,
all right, you're gonna
keep your head down.
There's no settling scores.
Do you understand?
Forget Ambrose.
Yes, ma'am.
It's barely giving off
any heat now.
Nothing's coming out.
It's stopped.
We know the walls are thick,
even without the heat.
If we can get inside,
we'll survive the night.
Get the explosives.
Go.
No! We'll curse ourselves
if we harm it.
We are the last.
Sol wants us to survive.
He will forgive us.
Back him up,
or we're gonna freeze out here.
Come on.
What are you waiting for?
- Place them.
- I can't, Your Eminence.
Sol is greater than I am.
Give them to me.
Will anyone help us
survive the night?
I promise Sol will forgive you.
Captain...
...place it.
That's an order.
Our leader has lost his faith!
We are being tested,
and we must not falter!
I know you're not Marcus Drusus.
And unless you want them
to know it, too...
Sol has shown himself
to us today!
Ambrose abandoned our people,
our children,
and this is Sol's answer.
This is Sol's judgment!
This is his will.
It's warm.
It's warm!
You all right?
I heard a voice.
Mother? What took...
Tally?
Tally, is that you?
W-Where are you going?
Tally?
Don't. They're poison.
I'm just eating a little.
- Hey, what do you think you're doing?
- I can't let you.
I like you, and I
don't want you to die.
Hey, kid, why don't you stop
playing the martyr, okay?
Go on, eat it.
We won't judge you for it,
will we?
Tally?
No.
- You did nothing wrong.
- No.
It's for the good of the colony.
Now the others won't be afraid.
She had a baby inside.
It was a mother.
It was a mother.
There's no need to run!
If you can hear me,
I want you to scream out
as loud as you can.
You are not safe.
Paul?
Come on, come on.
Aah!
Help!
Aaah!
Aah!
It's time to sleep now, Paul.

What was that name of the Earth
food that everybody liked?
- Pizza.
- Yes!
I love that name... pizza.
What are you doing?
Nothing.
It's going to work.
It's really going to work.
Trace levels of hydrocyanide.
It's toxic.
There's no pulse.
Have you finally decided
to strip it for parts?
Tempest asked if it
could be repaired.
She wants to use it
to carry her fetus to term.
I've decided to allow it.
Why?
She was impregnated
against her will.
We have six remaining
synthetic womb sacks.
If we can repair the lab's
internal system...
Her traumatic stress
is treatable.
You shouldn't tamper
with the natural process.
It's like that old saying
on Earth, Mother,
"Let nature
run its course."
Nature has no course.
I am against it.
But I'll leave you
with the final decision.
I've decided to slaughter
the creature we captured.
Slaughter it?
The children need to eat.
There's not much meat on it,
but it should be enough
to keep them from starving
for a few days,
until we capture another.
Should I kill it now, then?
No.
I said I would do it.
But I can do it more quickly,
without any mess.
No, Mother.
I need to be... more useful.
I don't want Campion seeing.
It'll pain him.
You know as well as I
that his sense of empathy
is highly pronounced.
Yes.
And if we don't teach him
to mitigate those feelings,
it will surely get him killed.
Stop.
What?
- What is that?
- What?
That!
I can't hear that.
Aah! What is that?
Oh, you can't hear that?
What? What?
Aah!
- You can't hear it?
- No, I can't hear it.
What's going on?
Hold him down.
He's a ticker.
His mind's been infected
by the necromancer.
He's not a ticker!
He needs medical attention!
- He's ticking!
- Let me treat him! Just give me a second!
- He'll kill us all!
- Get off him! Just back off!
Give me that!
Get her out of the way!
Let go of him!
Let him go!
Sol, catch this spirit
before it falls
- so he may join you in eternity.
- No!
Shine your light as he walks
the dark corridor.
- Please wait!
- Just Wait! I said wait!
Your Eminence, it's an ear wig.
It's one of ours.
Captain, look.
You trying to get rid of me,
Your Eminence?
I would never resort to
such atheistic treachery.
How do you explain this?
Well? Go on.
See, this man has never
set foot on a battlefield.
Now he treats those of us
that did like we're disposable.
If I had fought in the war,
I would not be able
to carry the light.
We all have our duties,
our functions.
But if you wish to challenge
Sol's law,
then I implore you,
strike me down.
See where it leads you.
She was gonna kill my husband.
She has the Ear Wig transmitter.
It was her.
They often malfunction when
they lose pairing with their siblings.
No need to apologize
for the accusations, Captain.
Your error was understandable.
Anyway, it looks like
she can still be repaired.
No repair necessary.
Campion, stop!
I'm setting it free.
I won't let you do it.
Yes.
You've changed my mind.
You're going to do it.
Now, grip this tightly.
And when you're ready, jam the
spear into the creature's flesh.
Then repeat the action
until it dies.
It will take practice to get over
the revulsion the act will trigger,
but those feelings
will dissipate with practice.
You can do this, Campion.
It's part of growing up.
Then I want to remain a child.
Perhaps your new friends will
feel differently about this.
Mother!
Mother!
Father won't listen.
He's going to make us kill it.
You must stop him.
You all need to learn
how to survive.
It's part of the natural
process of life.
Now, it won't be easy,
but I'll be right next to you,
guiding you.
Now, do not be alarmed.
Stop it, Father!
What is going on?
Why haven't you killed it yet?
I'm not going to do it.
The children are.
There's no point putting it off.
We could break down
unexpectedly.
They need to know what to do.
I will handle this, Mother.
You don't need to worry.
I won't involve Tempest.
Not Campion, either.
He can continue
to eat the carbos.
There's no reason
to make him do this.
I'd also like to spare him
from this, but we can't.
Give me a few hours.
And when you come back,
it will all be done.
I noticed some debris from the
Mithraic's ark in the forest.
Perhaps I can find the parts
I need to repair the mobile lab.
Tempest needs to eat soon.
If this isn't done by the time
I return, I'll do it myself.
Well?
Are we setting it free?
I'm sorry, Campion.
Mother!
You know this is wrong.
I know you do.
You're good, Father.
Goodness will not
fill your stomach.
I don't care.
We're not doing it.
Easy for you to say, Campion.
You can eat the carbos.
Yeah, I'm the son
of a senior Cleric.
I can't kill.
That would make me impure.
Um, but killing can be done
by military families
and, uh, androids like yourself.
It's for all of you now...
if you want to survive.
Eventually, Mother and I
will be gone,
and you will have to
take care of yourselves.
As your number grows,
so will your need for food.
So you will begin hunting.
Now, one of you,
take up the spear,
kill it as quickly as you can.
You'd better kill it soon,
while there's still
some meat on its bones.
Aah!
Got it. I got it.
You're causing it to suffer more
by delaying its death.
They slaughtered animals
on Earth for food
for thousands of years!
I'm going to make you
finish this task!
Come back here!
Now!
At least you're not intelligent.
I died once.
Death can be very unpleasant
when you're intelligent.

Welcome, sister.
We will pray, we will worship,
and we will atone for the sins
we committed on Earth.
And when we reach
the promised land,
Sol will reward us.
Welcome.

Campion, what are you doing?
I told you children never
to play with this equipment.
I told you,
and I told you and...
I can fix them.
I can fix them.
No, you cannot
fix this, Campion!
'Cause these are not broken.
These are dead.
All six of them dead!
And dead is forever!
Get out.
Get out!
- Don't tell them.
- What?
Gabin and Spiria, don't
tell them what they were.
Get out!
Mother, don't be mad at Campion.
He didn't do anything wrong.
It was me and Gabin.
We accidentally melted
the snowballs.
The snowballs?
Why did you lie to them
about what these were?
I don't know.
They're not any younger
than you are.
Their capacity to understand
is exactly the same as yours.
They didn't need to know.
It would just make them sad.
Are you going to tell them?
No.
Go ahead.
You said you wanted to.
Why do things have to die?
It is nature.
And nature is flawed.
Well done.
Wow.
Batteries.
Always come in handy.
She's worth more now
than when she was alive.
See, I didn't know they taught
these things at the Mithraic academy.
They don't.
War took me everywhere. You
pick up little things along the way.
I fear Ambrose
ordered the android
to do that to you, Captain.
And there are some among us that
fear that he has lost his faith.
I've sensed that, as well.
- Hey.
- Hey.
Do you know these, uh, lines
from the scriptures?
It's along the lines of,
"The sun is sunk,
shadowy night reigns..."
- "Reigning in your room."
- "Reigning."
"We pray to Sol,
his saving light
to guide us through the gloom."
Yeah.
Sue, that's not scripture.
That's a lullaby.
Every Mithraic child knows it.
I just wanted
to hear it recited.
It, um...
comforts me.
Yeah, me, as well.
Lucius, could you, uh,
give us a moment, please?
Ambrose knows I don't know
that stupid lullaby.
He knows.
I just don't understand why
he didn't try and take me out
along with you.
He can't kill you.
He knows they, uh, need a medic
to survive.
I'm gonna kill him,
make it look like an accident.
No. No,
'cause it's gonna backfire.
There's too many eyes on us.
We're just gonna have to go
and get Paul ourselves.
No, the odds go way down
if it's just you and me.
Well, it's better
than if we stay here.
All right. Okay.
We'll go before dawn.
And until then,
all right, you're gonna
keep your head down.
There's no settling scores.
Do you understand?
Forget Ambrose.
Yes, ma'am.
It's barely giving off
any heat now.
Nothing's coming out.
It's stopped.
We know the walls are thick,
even without the heat.
If we can get inside,
we'll survive the night.
Get the explosives.
Go.
No! We'll curse ourselves
if we harm it.
We are the last.
Sol wants us to survive.
He will forgive us.
Back him up,
or we're gonna freeze out here.
Come on.
What are you waiting for?
- Place them.
- I can't, Your Eminence.
Sol is greater than I am.
Give them to me.
Will anyone help us
survive the night?
I promise Sol will forgive you.
Captain...
...place it.
That's an order.
Our leader has lost his faith!
We are being tested,
and we must not falter!
I know you're not Marcus Drusus.
And unless you want them
to know it, too...
Sol has shown himself
to us today!
Ambrose abandoned our people,
our children,
and this is Sol's answer.
This is Sol's judgment!
This is his will.
It's warm.
It's warm!
You all right?
I heard a voice.
Mother? What took...
Tally?
Tally, is that you?
W-Where are you going?
Tally?
Don't. They're poison.
I'm just eating a little.
- Hey, what do you think you're doing?
- I can't let you.
I like you, and I
don't want you to die.
Hey, kid, why don't you stop
playing the martyr, okay?
Go on, eat it.
We won't judge you for it,
will we?
Tally?
No.
- You did nothing wrong.
- No.
It's for the good of the colony.
Now the others won't be afraid.
She had a baby inside.
It was a mother.
It was a mother.
