Raised by Wolves (2020–…): Season 1, Episode 9 - Umbilical - full transcript

Sue is determined to keep the children safe, and in doing so, struggles with whether or not she can trust Mother. Meanwhile, a new threat arises and an increasingly erratic Marcus causes the Mithraic to question their leader.

[Static, woman speaking.

Mother?

Mother, are you there?

Mother, where are you?

Mother?

- Release me.
- From this prison.

- So that I may.
- See your light again.

Light, sound,

feel your feeling.

Set me free.

Do not despise me



for my weakness.

Grant me the power

of your light

so that I may bear your whip

and purify this wicked planet.

Simply purge these shadows

from my sight,

and I promise you

I will deliver your judgment.

I am your one true Sol.

I am ready

to receive your power.

Just say the word,

and I will be...



Hey.

Do you know who I am?

Have we met?

No.

We never met.

But you know me.

- You raise a weapon against me,
- child?

I was sleeping,

you sick bastard!

I remember now.

And I also remember

how small you are.

Careful, dear.

You can't hurt me again.

That helmet prevents it.

So tell me...

You tell me

how does it feel knowing that

I can do whatever I want to you,

and you can't stop me?

No, Tempest!

Mother?

Mother.

There's no need - to hurt me.

Where's your guard?

It's in the backpack.

What are you doing?

- What functions do you.
- Still have available?

Proximity trigger active.

Behavioral guard

in the helmet is...

checking status...

active.

- What's the maximum distance.
- He's allowed from you.

Before the helmet - kills him?

10 feet.

I want to kill him.

I understand that,

Tempest.

Do you?

- Every time.
- I feel this baby move,

I'm forced to think of

this piece of shit raping me.

Does this port allow

for blood draw?

- Yes, of course. - Mother,
- Are you listening to me?

- What's the color.
- For outflow?

Red.

Mother!

Mother, - I'm talking to you!

What are you doing?

I'm feeding my fetus.

Your fetus?

Tell me

where they went.

All alone now.

Tell me where they went.

I did all you wanted me to.

Now come on.

Help me get my son back.

- Poor idiots.
- Are gonna die out there.

- Can't believe they took off.
- Without telling me,

After everything

I've done for them.

Can't listen to that thing

anymore.

Start loading the lander

with food and supplies.

- Reinstall.
- The lift drive module.

My holo-screen appears

to have self-activated.

Huh.

Probably some malfunction

caused by the amputation.

Hold on.

Revert

to old program.

Password.

Password...

Shit.

It's Morse code.

Sol is the light.

Sol is...

the light.

Hey, Father.

Say something.

Father?

An android, a black hole,

and a glass of milk

walk into a bar.

Father!

Alright.

Let's go.

- I'll finish this joke.
- At a later date.

You need to convince them to

take you along on the search.

Thank you.

Let's go, Pop.

Wait,

can I come with you?

- I know the kids well,
- like family.

I could help wrangle them.

They trust me.

Hmm.

- You didn't do such a good job.
- Of wrangling them

last night, - though, did you?

You coming or not?

- How will we track them without.
- The locators, Your Eminence?

We're going back

to the temple.

Sol will speak to me there.

- Sol brought him.
- Back to me.

You said

he fell down a pit.

He did.

But I prayed for Sol to give him

back to me, and it worked.

- So now.
- You don't have to wonder.

Whether or not.

Sol is real anymore.

So now you have proof.

- My sister Tally fell down a pit.
- When we were small.

- When I was locked up.
- In the silo,

She came back

and talked to me.

Only she was different.

What's the word?

Evil?

- Hey, come on.
- We got to get moving.

We're too out in the open here.

Pack everything you can.

- Girls, please, wake up.
- Get up.

Sol, tell me where they are,

please.

I will do anything.

Does my son not trust me?

Does he not love me?

Please tell me.

Why are we here?

'Cause you never know

what we might find.

You know, food,

supplies, water.

The stuff for survival.

- I can't believe.
- Something so big.

Could actually fly.

It must have been

magnificent.

- This is one of the relics.
- We brought from Earth.

A tooth?

It was taken from the body

of Romulus.

He and his brother were raised

by a she-wolf who lost her cubs.

We have to

keep it safe.

I found it

for a reason.

A reason.

Sol led us here so that

we could find this holy relic,

so that we can

save our culture.

- Keep your teeth.
- I don't care.

- Now, if you can please.
- Look for things.

We can actually use,

that would be great.

Blood!

It's fresh.

Tempest.

It could be

from anyone.

Hold up.

- You got pregnant.
- In a sim pod?

Yes.

- I didn't even know androids.
- Could get pregnant.

Nor did I.

How did it happen?

It's beyond

my understanding.

My creator

made it possible.

You sound religious

suddenly.

Nonsense.

So, now that

you're all pregnant,

- your programming tells you.
- To turn away.

- The girl that you said.
- You'd never leave?

You're referring

to the other day.

- I had to send you away,
- Tempest.

- Otherwise I could have.
- Put you in danger.

You're not

a danger to me.

I feel the urge

to protect you.

I also feel the need

to feed my fetus.

You were afraid

you would...

- My programming has.
- Become unpredictable.

It was just - a precaution.

Okay, but where

are we even going?

To a place where the delivery

is most likely to be successful.

Child, you must see this

necromancer's malfunctioning.

She has no need

for human blood,

- and she's certainly.
- Not pregnant.

She is insane.

And she'll turn on you.

She is the threat,

not me.

One more word out of you,

- and I will skewer.
- Your metal head.

What is it?

Metal.

These were placed here

recently.

By who?

This one reminds me

of you and Father.

And that one's.

Sol Invictus.

- These remind me of the old.
- Tarot cards back on Earth.

Used by the devil cults

before we purged their ranks.

Quiet.

Something's approaching.

Hide.

Otho,

hide yourself!

You think

you can walk now?

Yep.

Alright.

- -Maybe in a little bit.
- -There's more blood.

What?

Campion!

- -Mother?
- -Campion!

Mother!

Tempest!

- I thought I'd never.
- See you again!

I knew you were alive!

Step away from the android,

Campion.

I said step away!

- She's not.
- Going to hurt anyone.

She is a weapon

of mass destruction.

She kidnapped - these kids.

- No!
- She's a good Mother!

- -Vita, move!
- -Don't shoot!

- Paul, please.
- This is not a request!

- I can't.
- I'm sorry.

Paul, - move away from her.

- I understand your fear,
- soldier.

Don't be afraid.

Step out, Otho.

This android

is malfunctioning.

- No, no, no, no.
- No way, no way.

- Kids...
- Kids, get behind me now.

It's alright.

He's under my control.

- His life is forfeit.
- Because of his crime.

I will shoot you!

I will shoot you and the rapist

in front of them!

Paul.

Paul, get behind me.

No.

What did you do to him?

Are you feeding on him?

No, my fetus is.

That's not possible.

It is real.

What's wrong with your stomach,

Mother?

Would you like to say hello

to Number Seven, Campion?

It's just - a temporary name.

We'll have to come up

with a permanent one soon.

Perhaps you'd like

to choose one.

- You had another.
- Frozen embryo?

- No.
- This is my own fetus.

Did Father help you make it,

like the way humans do it?

No,

Father didn't help me.

I made it myself.

How did you do that?

That is beyond

my understanding.

Would you like to say

hello to it?

Hi, baby.

Hello?

What is it?

What's the matter?

Nothing. Nothing.

It's just been

under too much stress.

- -Please!
- -Maybe you can help!

- Hey, I'm a doctor,
- not a mechanic.

- Please!
- Help her!

Please.

Help her, please!

Okay, go...

Go get my bag.

Come on.

Come on, Mother.

Lift.

Give me more slack,

please.

Can you hear what he's saying?

- I think he wants to know.
- Where Sue took their kid.

- He should make.
- An example of her.

Throw her in one of the pits.

Settle down.

We have to find her first.

You're friends

with my son, right?

Yeah, I-I guess.

And the girls?

Uh, sure, sure.

Then they must have told you

what they were planning.

No.

No, no, no, no, no.

They... They didn't.

- They didn't.
- They didn't tell me anything.

- Why do you.
- Keep looking at him?

Because he can tell you.

- He's been with me.
- Most of the time.

Tell them.

That is accurate.

I've not witnessed him

speaking with the escapees.

I swear.

I swear to Sol.

Your Eminence?

- Your Eminence, I swear to Sol,
- I di...

- I didn't...
- I didn't do anything.

- I swear.
- I'm telling the truth.

- I don't know where he is.
- I don't know where he is.

I don't know where he is!

No!

I don't know!

Sol has shielded him.

- He must be telling the truth,
- Your Eminence.

- Is she going.
- To be okay?

Yeah.

Yeah, she will.

She just needs some rest.

And so do you.

Go on.

Did you tell them

the truth?

Well, whatever this is,

resting seems to have helped.

Yeah, I detect activity.

There's growth.

- And you're displaying.
- The signs a human would, but...

That's not what I meant.

Did you tell them

the truth...

Paul...

About who you are?

What are you

talking about?

You're not his mother.

You had

a facial reconstruction,

like your husband.

You two have been

deceiving the Mithraic.

If you tell Paul,

it will destroy him.

Interesting.

Why do you care

about Paul?

He's not your own.

You do not have

the care-giving program I have.

It's called

human empathy.

- Yeah, it's something that.
- You will never understand.

Because you are just

an elaborate piece of... tech.

That is correct.

- Though I wonder,
- as an atheist,

- If we have more.
- In common than not.

Don't flatter yourself.

Paul.

I will

respect your wishes.

I understand that sometimes

we must lie

- to spare.
- The feelings of humans.

You seem to be

a successful mother,

if not a natural one.

Move! On your feet!

Sol, guide us,

keep us safe.

- Guide us out.
- Of the darkness.

Secure safety belts.

You were on guard,

Dorian.

I don't understand.

- The android was programmed.
- To serve us.

Hunter must have cracked

the security code, reverted him.

You were on guard,

Dorian.

I...

Damn!

Scan.

It seems our blood flow

has been reversed.

Your power is now mine.

A locator signal.

Belongs to a prisoner.

The vital signs

are highly irregular.

'Cause he's probably dead,

right?

No.

These energy levels

are inordinately high.

On par with Mother's.

I'm plotting a course.

No! No!

Mother! No!

Mom!

Kid?

No, no, no, no, no!

Let go of me!

Let go of me!

Let go!

- -No, let go of him!
- -No!

Sol, make me brave.

Please, no.

Let go!

Let go of me!

Let go!

Hey!

Holly.

Holly, get away.

You don't want her.

She's not a believer.

Her soul's impure.

It was you.

You convinced her

that Sol didn't exist.

What you did to her.

Run! Tempest!

Run!

Tempest!

No! No! No! No!

Tempest.

Tempest?

It's over.

It's over. It's over.

If we go back now,
we could make it in a few days.

We're doomed.

- All so he can chase.
- His damn wife.

Sol does not - want us here.

We have strayed

from His light.

He's leading us

into hell.

For you, my Lord, I sacrifice.

Now speak to me.

I am listening.

My Lord?

Mother?

Mother?

Mother?

Mother?

Father?

Yes.

Is this a memory?

No, Mother.

This is now.

You've been restored.

Campion.

Campion.

You're not real.

It's alright.

It's really me.

Which you do you mean?

Knock, knock.

Don't ever

leave me again.

That's twice now.

Never again.

Promise me.

Promise.

Is it alright?

It's not responding

to my touch.

What isn't?

Her baby, Father.

It's dead.

He drained it.

I can feel it.

- Mother, it's likely.
- Internal bleeding.

Collecting - in your stomach.

Now, if you'd allow me

to relieve the pressure...

It's real, Father.

The fetus is

half carbon-based.

It needs plasma.

Then I will find

a creature.

I'll go with you.

- Hey,
- can you give us a minute?

Go on.

What are you doing?

I'm saving your baby.

- Just a pint, and then.
- I got to cut you off.

Why are you doing this

for me?

I'm not your family

or your friend.

You asked why I cared about Paul

when he wasn't my own.

Yes.

You said humans have empathy,

which androids lack.

Right.

I can't have kids.

I had a bad miscarriage.

It was years ago.

So, - when we found Paul...

I know that.

Sol is a lie.

But I suddenly

understood how

- when people can't believe.
- Their luck,

They have to make up a god

to thank for it.

There.

That's enough.

Are you feeling it?

Yes.

Thank you.

Praise Sol.

Want to hear a secret?

Sure.

Sol put that baby

inside Mother.

How do you know?

I can just feel it.

He's not evil,

like you said.

He's trying

to help us.

And this baby is gonna

change everything.

You know

I killed him.

Yes, Tempest.

It moved.

It's alive.

Thank you.

- Has Sol spoken to you.
- Yet, Your Eminence?

Has He told you

where we're headed?

It seems He doesn't quite

favor you as He once did.

He tests us.

Dorian was more than

a test.

We will pray

for his soul.

- But you obviously.
- Deemed him impure.

Yes.

All the more reason

to pray for him.

You're upset.

Perhaps you should stay quiet

until you recovered your senses.

Did you pray for my father

after you executed him?

Did you pray for his soul?

Of course.

Do you see any resemblance

between us, my father and I?

Just a simple question,

- one you should have.
- No trouble answering.

A true Mithraic would never

pray for a soul

he deemed impure.

What the necromancer said

is true, isn't it?

You're not

Marcus Drusus.

So who the hell - are you?

You all wanted

to be deceived.

- You're nothing.
- But a bunch of sheep...

All of you...

Unworthy of Sol's love.

- You see, all I did was lead you.
- Back to the light.

It doesn't matter

who I am.

All that matters is that.

He chose me to be king.

Then He will surely

protect you, then.

Let Sol's will be done.
