Savage Kingdom (2016–2019): Season 1, Episode 6 - Big Game of Thrones - full transcript

[thunder]

One kingdom...

five heroes...

each with a unique power.



Fighting not just to survive...

[yips]

[growling]

...but to reign supreme
over the Savage Kingdom.



[roar]







[zebras braying]



[squeak]

Rule of the kingdom is
reserved for the strong.



Queen of the great marsh.

Keeper of the Marsh Pride,
Matsumi.



Slaying giants is
her speciality.

Proof of absolute power.

Get this wrong and you're dead.





[bellows]

It takes brute strength

and iron will.

[bellows]



[bellows]

The Marsh Pride's power
is unrivaled.

Their place on the throne
is secure... for now.

This hard-won fortune feeds
the next generation.

Matsumi is growing her army.

[zebras braying]

Empires are held by soldiers.

[growling]

Size and numbers matter.

But leadership is everything.



[growls]



No monarchy is immortal.



Enemies gather on all sides
and prepare for war.



A lion's power is brawn...

[yipping, growling]

...a hyena's, brains.

[screech]

Zalika, the hyena queen,
has her own plans for the marsh.

She misses nothing...

knows everyone's strengths
and weakness...



...and what she can take
from them.

[zebras braying]

Steel your courage, Zalika.

Grow strong on
the lions' leftovers.

Just don't get caught.





It takes more than threats
for Zalika to back down.

[bird squawking]





It takes more than just lions
to keep Zalika at bay.

It takes the king, Sekekama.



The hyena slayer.

[yipping]

He does not bluff.

[growls]

He just snaps your spine.

[growls]



But Zalika can wait.

They all die in the end.





[bird squawks]

Patience is rewarded
with a second-hand feast...

[yips]

[yipping]

...to fuel her growing army.

[bird squawks]

One step closer
to her master plan.

Soon, Zalika, you will
have the numbers.

Soon there will be war.

[growls]



The great marsh is the beating
heart of the kingdom.



Control this...

and you control everything.



The Marsh Pride
governs with terror.

[roars]

But rivals watch
from every border.



To the north, along the river,

another queen rules
over a lawless forest.

Satau is building her own army

here in the hills

to wreak her revenge...

on Matsumi.

Sekekama was once her king.

He left her for Matsumi,

and together they built
the Marsh Pride.



[roars]

But Satau holds on
to her ambitions.

Your power, Satau,
is your resilience.



So many mouths to feed.

They need this buffalo.



[buffalo bellows]



[growling]

But for this young pride...

killing the giant
is not so easy.

[growling]



The young lions
have much to learn.

And Satau has work to do.



Her pride's youngsters
pack muscle...

but not experience.



Only accomplished killers
rule this kingdom.

One of Satau's sons steps up.



Another failed attempt.

Not a good time for
an unexpected visitor.

Sekekama is back.



Bad news for the six princes.

The king does not
tolerate rivals,

even if they are his sons.

Will it be exile?

Or will it be death?



[growls]





Satau's sons are forced to flee.



[roaring]

Two thirds of your pride gone.

[roaring]

But you will never stop
fighting, Satau.



[roaring]



There are some that rule
in the sun's full glare.

[growling]

Others challenge
from the shadows.

[bird squawks]

[purrs]



Saba, an elegant assassin.



Her power is stealth,
invisibility.

[squawking]



Nothing is beyond your reach.





[growls]

Surgical and efficient.



[purrs]

She's usually untouchable.

[panting]

But she now has a secret
that makes her vulnerable.





Her bloodline.

Her future.

Can you keep them safe, Saba,

in a kingdom full of danger?



[squeaking]

A band of ruffians approaches.

Wild dogs.

[purrs]

They torment and kill
anyone in their path.

[snorts]

[squeaking]

[squealing]



Even a leopard king
must leap for his life.

[growls]

[squeaking]



Frustrated, the dogs turn
their sights on Leopard Rock.





Saba's cubs will never meet
a more terrible foe.



Keep very still.



Any move could be your last.





Safe for the moment.



But she must teach them
to be invisible,

to learn her special powers.

There is no such thing
as safety in this kingdom.



More dogs on the run...

the Pale Pack...
refugees from beyond.

Small, but fiercely loyal,
their power comes from the pack.





[squeaking]

But these challengers to
the throne are trespassers now,

on the marsh lions' domain.

[squeaking]

[roar]



Do not get caught.



[growls]

Lions show dogs no mercy.



Led well, six dogs can grow
into a dynasty.

Loyal alphas, Teemana and Malao,
carry this dream.



You must find
a safe den soon, Teemana.



She is nearly due.

The next generation decides
the pack's future.

They alone unlock the gates
of the kingdom.



[elephant grumbles]



[elephants grumbling]

[trumpets]

[bellows]

Motherhood is stressful,

especially for
a solitary assassin.

Saba must leave her cubs alone
while she kills.

The longer she takes,
the worse their odds.





[squeak]



Get back a moment too late,
and nightmares might come true.





Innocence offers no protection
in this kingdom.



[growls]

[hisses]

[snarls]

Nothing can be done.

Saba's daughter is gone.

Her legacy cut in half.

Now more than ever,

she must protect her son,
or all is lost.



Satau, queen of the north,
abandoned by all your males.

Your sons exiled.

Your king with another.



[roars]

But Satau will fight
for her pride of three

until her last breath.





[growls]



Proud hunter turns thief.



Trouble never comes alone.



Zalika is preparing for war.

[yipping]

The hyena queen knows
Satau has no protection.





Zalika is patient,
persistent, cunning.

Every move, a calculated risk.

Every risk, a calculated move.



[whooping]





With just one cub left,
Saba is still in the great game.

One less mouth to feed,
but no room for error.



The daily dilemma...

stay and starve together,

or leave him alone helpless.



Saba, you have no choice.

[growling]

[chirping]

A cousin for her kitten.



A momentary breath,
until tomorrow,

when she'll do it all again.

[screeching]

[squeal]

The daily grind of life
in the kingdom...

kill, feed...

sleep...

repeat.



The dry season
changes the rules.

Many will die.

[trumpets]

[trumpets]



[squeaking]

Some will rise in the chaos.

Others will even thrive.





[bellows]

[screeching]

The sounds of death
attract unhealthy attention.

[barking]

Half blind, a lone lioness
struggles to find food.



The marsh's dwindling riches...



...are her last chance.

[roars]



[roaring]

Enough of playing nice.

[growling]

Sekekama is the enforcer.

[roars]

[growling]

[roars]

[growling]

[roars]

He lets her live.



Beaten and banished,
she is more desperate than ever.





Puppies in a den
are sitting targets.

[squeaking]

It's time for them
to learn to run.





They're not up to speed yet...

but killers won't mind.



A hungry and beaten nomad
is grateful

for whatever comes its way.



A lifesaving meal for one
could be a short life over.

[whimpers]

[chirping]

For one to rise,

another must fall.

[squeaking]

The best way to
take down a dynasty

is to kill their young.



[growling]





One less soldier.

[yips]

One less heir.





As the dry season continues
to punish the land,

the great exodus begins.



The herds move north
in search of water.

The fortunes of the marsh gone.



Matsumi has no choice
but to follow the herds.



But to walk alone...

...is to court danger.





Two nomadic males
breach the kingdom.

[purrs]

Outcasts ready to test
the current order.



Now they will command
this queen, Matsumi.





[purring]



Submit or die.





For Satau and
the Northern Pride,

patience pays off.



The great herds come to them.

[lowing]

[lowing]

[growls]





[bellows]

[roars]



Finally, a chance for Satau's
small pride to grow in strength.

They are still in the game.





A clever hyena queen
feeds on chaos.



[squeaking]

Zalika takes everything she can.



[squeaking]

[growls]

[squeaking]

[growling]

[squeaking]



Grow strong, build your empire
on the suffering of others.





Teemana and Malao, you have lost
half your young family.

Protect the remaining three pups
with your lives.

[elephant roars]



[trumpets]

[elephants roaring]



The Pale Pack faces
its most lethal challenge.

Zalika's army is
ready for combat.

The lives of the pups...

...is a cause to die for.

[squeaking]

[growls]





[squeaking]



Fortune favors
courageous parents.

United, the Pale Pack
is victorious.



[sniffing]



Zalika lost a battle,
not the war.



She has not given up.



Look to the Marsh Pride.

When the king and queen
are away,

it's time to strike.



[yipping]





It is done.



The lions are routed.

[thud]

But this war will never end.

Battle lines are
always in motion.



On the front line of famine...

the young fall first.

[groans]

Saba's daily struggle
has no end in sight.



But salvation lurks in the mud.

Saba's genius is that
she alone sees it.





While others starve,

Saba's ingenuity...

...keeps her in the game.





[squawks]



Only a fool comes between
a queen and her pride.



Matsumi's king is coming.



[growls]





[roars]





[growls]

The nomads are banished.

Lucky to be alive.



Sekekama is king...

killer...

hero.

[growls]



[birds chirping]

The Marsh Pride is united again.



As long as they can
stay together...



...they are unbeatable.

But in this harsh land,
no one can rest easy.



Deadly rivals will always
haunt the shadows...

waiting to claim their share
of the Savage Kingdom.
