Raised by Wolves (2020–…): Season 2, Episode 5 - King - full transcript

But it blasted my mind. The best episode of the season.It happened: the scenario started present some unexpected ways of the story. The play of actors becomes more efficient and interesting.Do you know the TV-series that had on the start bad actors play and poor story, but season-by-season was expanding it? Yup, it was The Game of Thrones.I hope that the RbW would be the same.

- In about 24 hours,
the chemical composition

inside the cocoon is
gonna dissolve his body.

- The cellular structure
is getting stronger.

It's not really death at all.

It's more of an...
Of an evolution.

- His humanity is
dissolving, Mother.

He's becoming a fucking snake.

- I apologize.

I misspoke.

I value your feelings.
You are my friend.

- It's all right.



- Why are we retreating?

You heard what Paul said.

The seeds are in the Tarantula.

- There's too few of
us to mount an attack.

- But hasn't Sol
already granted you

all the power we need?

I think you're underestimating
yourself, Marcus.

- I killed Vrille

because I thought that
you were the prophet.

- I am the prophet.

And you can't kill something
that was never alive.

She wasn't your daughter.

She was just a robot
keeping you from the light.

That's all she was.



- Who's keeping me from it now?

- It's Romulus's tooth. I
found it in the wreckage.

- It's an extremely
important relic,

and it's not right that
you're wearing it, child.

- Why not?

I found it, so Sol
meant it for me.

- Oh, doubtful. Give it to me!

You could be cursing
us by wearing it!

It's a holy relic from the Ark

and not to be worn
by the likes of her.

- Those relics are all bullshit.

The Mithraic made tons of them.

- No, it's real.

And it has power. I
can feel it sometimes.

- Romulus was a
king, was he not?

- Yes.

- It's not real, Marcus.

I'm sorry.

You're right.

It's the perfect
accessory for you.

- Marcus, over here!

- It's another one
of those temples.

- Holly!

Holly!

- Hello.

Welcome to our world.

You had been disassembled,

and I managed, through
some degree of effort,

to put you back together again.

How it is your
function returned,

I do not know.

I am a farmer by trade.

It would appear your caul
is not your caul at all,

but part of your build.

Perhaps you're nervous.

How about a joke
to break the ice?

I have prepared
one just for you.

A black hole, a glass of milk,
and a cat walk into a bar.

The glass of milk asks the cat,

"Why does the black hole
have to tag along with us?

"Everywhere he goes, he sucks up

all the energy in
the room."

You like jokes.

Can you...

remove it?

- Father!

- Can you come and see this?

- Uh, it's all right.

Stay here.

Don't make a sound.

- Hey, over here!
I found it. Look.

- Where have you been, Father?

- Just checking on
my work project.

- While Paul is dying?

- I wish I had the
power to rescue him

from this horror, Mother,

but I don't.

There's nothing I can do.

- From Holly.

- Necromancer,
generic service model,

you are my kidnappers.

The church is my family now.

Do not come looking for
me. I am where I belong.

Respect my decision to stay here

and do not attempt to bring
any harm to my new family.

Vita, Hunter, Tempest...

get away if you can
and come join us.

You can still save your souls.

- She needs to be brought home.

She's more apt to listen to you.

You've always had a softer touch

when it comes to the children.

With the exception of
number seven, of course.

- I made no attempt to
harm your animal, Mother.

- Tempest told me that you've
been fighting for sport

or some such thing.

- What I do in my off hours
is none of your concern.

- You're flagrantly
risking damage.

Do you need a systems check?
- No.

I'm functioning normally.

- Who are you?

Are you a parent on a
mission to restart humanity

or are you some rogue android
who fights and tinkers?

It's one or the other, Father.

You can't be both.

- Mother...

I feel we're becoming too human

to be the parents that
our children deserve.

- Nonsense.

When you do retrieve Holly,

perhaps bring someone
along with you

who isn't perpetually
distracted.

It might be dangerous.

- Can we go in there with him?

- Sue said no.

Especially not you.

- It's okay.

Sol is in there with him.

- Can he hear us?

Does he have any idea
what's happening?

- I don't know. I hope not.

How are you doing?

- I'm fine.

No, come here. Look at me.

Seriously, how are you doing?

The encampment that was
supposed to take my baby,

they all ran off when
Mother shut down the Trust.

So I have no idea
what I'm gonna do.

- Connection lost.

Maintenance required.

Connection lost.

Maintenance required.

Connection lost.

Maintenance required.

- Paul is gonna die.

- You don't think Sol
is gonna save him?

- I don't know what
I think anymore.

- I miss it sometimes.

Being able to believe

that there's someone
out there listening.

Someone with the power to
make things all better.

What's that?

- Sounds like someone's messing
around in Father's shed.

Hello?

There's nobody in there.

What the hell happened
to this place?

Huh.

Hello.

- It has skin now.

How did he manage that?

It looks like it
could be functioning.

- Thing creeps me out.

- Looks like he posed it.

Do you think he's been in here
pretending it's functioning?

Maybe he really has been
killed one too many times.

- Hey, look, we should
get out of here, okay?

This is his private stuff.

Tempest, come on.
- Wait.

- Whatever.

- You okay?

- Yeah.

I'm fine.

- Did you know about
the Trust's plan

to sacrifice Paul?

Yes.

And it was a sound decision.

The needs of the many
outweigh the needs of the...

- Now tell me what
the antidote is.

- I told you I don't know.

- You never told me
whose eyes these are.

- They were my... my brother's.

- What was your brother's name?

- His name.

It was... Clay.

I mean... I mean Christopher.

- Well, which is it?

- It was Christopher.

My father's name was...

- I thought you said
they were your brother's.

- No, no. It was Chris...

You're confusing me!
- Yes.

It's easy to become confused
when you've been reprogrammed.

- I'm not a fucking android!

- Of course not.

But you see, humans can be
reprogrammed just as easily,

if not more so.

Simple redirection,
conditioning...

repetition.

The Trust used you like
a parasite uses its host.

It's very likely that
the person you used to be

was not even up to the
task of protecting it.

Of course...

you might never
know who you were...

as old programs are
often overwritten.

They're your eyes, Cleaver.

- The iso-bath slow it down?

- Negative.

- Okay. What's next?

- I have no other
recommendations, Doctor.

This is the time to ensure

the patient is made as
comfortable as possible...

- That's enough.

- As you prepare him
for the inevitable...

- I said that's
enough. You can leave.

- Doctor...
- I said you can leave!

Sol...

or whatever your real name is.

I know you're not a god.

You're a signal sent by
some alien somewhere.

If you can hear me...

He's innocent.

It's not fair. He
didn't deserve this.

And he loves you.

He's a true believer.

So I am begging you...

Please make him better.

And I will do anything...

anything you want.

Just...

Please make him better. Please.

Please don't take my
little boy away from me.

I love him so much, so...

please make him better.

- You come to execute me?

- I'm not that kind of android.

Well, you could have fooled me.

- You were all set to
feed me to a giant serpent

a couple of days ago.

- I'm here to offer
you freedom...

in exchange for your help in
retrieving one of my children.

- Don't you have atheists
to do your chores for you?

- We experienced a serious
decline in our population

since Mother's coup.

And given your feelings
towards Captain Drusus,

I thought you'd be a good
candidate to assist me.

- What's Marcus got
to do with this?

- Holly has taken up with
him and his followers...

Your old friends.

- So if I help you
get her back...

I want Marcus and my old friends

to do with as I please...

in the name of the lord
they've so betrayed.

- Agreed.

- Okay, service model.

We have a deal.

- We've been led here.

- Looks like it harnesses the
power of the planet itself.

I don't see the symbol of
the Sol Invictus anywhere.

- This temple looks like
it didn't have any windows.

- It didn't.

No doors, either.

We found one that
was fully intact

on the other side of the planet.

- I don't like this place.

- There's nothing to fear.

We have our prophet

to protect us from the darkness.

There's some kind of
trial that must be passed.

I know not the nature of it,

but I do recognize the symbol
of the tree of knowledge.

- Well?

What are you waiting for?

Oh, no.

Holosphere?

Oh, no.

The hell?

No. No.

No. No. No. No. No. No.

Come here, you little fucker.

No.

No. No. No. No.

Oh. Oh.

Oh, no.

Holosphere.

Holosphere!

- Doctor.

- I think I need a
psych evaluation.

- What seems to be the problem?

- I think I'm seeing things.

- Have you eaten
any untested fruit

or come into contact with any
novel forms of flora or fauna?

- No.

- Then emotional stress
is likely the cause.

We have several
medications aboard

that will help prevent
hallucinations.

I recommend Giddymax Five.

- No, fuck that, all right?

It'll fog me up.

- Hallucinations will also,
as you say, "fog you up."

- Ugh!

Do you have any idea...

I was in a fucking
war, holosphere, okay?

I saw insane shit
every fucking day,

and I never hallucinated.

Not once.

Even when I wanted to imagine
that I was somewhere else,

I couldn't fucking do it.

- Perhaps, Doctor,
you could share

exactly what it is you
think you are seeing.

- Leeches.

A couple of inches long...

with little, tiny teeth.

- You are describing
aquatic leech variant six,

thought to have
medicinal applications.

These leeches feed exclusively

on the marine creatures that
dwell in the acid ocean.

- Medicinal applications?

- Yes, but unfortunately,

they're very
dangerous to collect,

while variants one through five

are quite easy to come by.

- Well, I don't need one
through fucking five.

I need variant six.

- Then you will have to
collect it yourself, Doctor.

- What do you need
the leech for?

- It might help Paul.

- Really?

- I don't know if
it's gonna work.

- Well, if there's even
just a little bit of chance,

then we have to try, don't we?

- That's right. We do.

Come on. Go down that way.

So the serpent...

you think it's dangerous?

- I used to be scared of
their bones when I was little.

But when I saw its eyes...

It's just a kid, really.

- Holy shit. Look
at that thing.

No. You stay here.

Ah, gotcha.

- Careful!

Ahh!

These things better work.

- Look.

- We ask you, Sol,

please, Sol, cloak
us in your light.

- What's wrong?

- No!

- Ahh!

- No!
- Ahh!

- Ahh!

Ahh!

- You took my
mother away from me.

- Run!

- You're sinners!

- Mommy?

- Ahh!

- Ahh!

- Go to the light.

- I found you, Mommy.

- Vrille.

- What the fuck?

Fuck! Fuck!

- Fuck.

Ahh!

Help me, Sol!

Thank you.

- No! Come back!

No!

Come back!

Come back!

- Finally found a pet to hold.

- Vrille?

Vrille, honey, I'm so sorry.

I made... Mommy made
a real bad mistake.

The worst mistake
she's ever made,

and you know she's
made a lot of them.

You're still you.

You're... that
makes me so happy.

It means...

it means it's not too late.

- Really?

- Yes.

Yes. We're gonna start afresh.

I know we both like a
fresh, clean slate, right?

- Yes.

I hate being mad at you.

- I know. I know.

- I just want to be understood.

- Well, I will
try harder, honey.

Okay?

- Okay.

Are you ready, then?

- For what, honey?

No.

- I want to help you.

Help you understand
what it's like...

To be me.

- So if the necromancer
is queen now...

does that make you the king?

- These are absurd terms.

We're simply stewards.

As soon as Campion is ready,
he'll take over for us.

- Right.

Was that her idea?

- Yes.

But I'm starting to
think she's right.

- Do you see that?

Marcus would never pass that up.

- Remember, Holly is priority.

- I'm a man of my word.

Hope you're an android of yours.

Thank Sol.

You're alive.

- It's okay.

- Hey.

You're looking more awake now.

How you feeling?

- It was kind of like
being in hypersleep.

- I got some fruit
juice for you, okay?

All right. Take it slow.

Do you remember any
of what happened?

- Yeah. I...

Yeah, we went to warn, um...

- It's okay.

Campion told me.

The Trust used Mouse to
deliver a virus, and...

You got sick.

- How did you make me better?

Omnibiotics?

- No. They didn't work.

Campion helped me.

We had to obtain some
indigenous leeches.

- How'd you come up with that?

- You know what?

I'm gonna tell you all
the geeky details later.

You need to rest.

- Yeah, okay.

- What's the matter?

- It's kicking.

- It must be happy for Paul.

- It's livelier than usual.

Don't worry.

It's not in distress.

- They got what they deserved
for following your ass.

Now it's your turn.

- You're with the
atheists now, Lucius.

- No, motherfucker.

I'm the last true Mithraic,
come to snuff out the darkness.

Turn around.

- Do what you must.

Sol will protect me.

- Wait, wait, wait, wait!

Don't! Don't! Don't!
Don't shoot him!

He's the prophet.

Father, I will
never forgive you.

- No, just...

- You got what you came for.
You promised me something.

- Martyring him
would be a mistake.

- Dogs don't become martyrs.

- You're the dog, traitor.

- You really shouldn't let your
kids push you around like this.

- You should just
shut the fuck up!

Traitor!
- Holly!

- Traitor!
- Holly!

- You made me a
promise, service model.

- And you will get
what is promised.

But not while a
child is present.

We'll take him back with us.

- So you gonna tell me how
you came up with the leeches?

- I didn't come up with it.

- Mother again?
- No.

- I prayed.

- Are you serious?

Or are you just saying
that 'cause I almost died?

- No, I'm telling the truth.

I prayed, and
something heard me.

It's probably the same thing

that was talking
to you and Marcus.

Sounds crazy, right?

- That's what it's
like to be a believer.

But really the atheists
are the crazy ones.

- This wasn't god, Paul.

This was...

something real.

It's like some sort
of alien transmission.

- What's the difference
between a god and an alien?

- Well, one's fantasy, and
the other's an unknown.

- Well, did you have
to prove yourself?

- What do you mean?

- In the scriptures,
Sol always asks atheists

to prove themselves
before he helps them.

- He didn't ask me for anything.

- Then maybe it's something
different you heard.

- Look.

Whatever we call it,

just know that I
believe in it now,

whatever it is.

- It's Sol.

You'll see.

You can kill the sleep aid.

- Are you sure?

You're also in need
of rest, Doctor.

- Soon. You can go.

- Yes. Thank you, Doctor.

- Mary...

Mary...

Mary.

Grow the seeds.

The seeds... Grow the seeds...

Grow the seeds.

Plant the seeds.

Mary, grow the seed.

- I'll do whatever you want.

Just keep him safe.
