Into The Badlands (2015) s02e08 Episode Script

FOREMAN: We're losing Cogs by the hour.
If this keeps up, we won't be able to fill our orders.
Speed up production.
(FOREMAN GRUNTS) Show yourselves! (HEAVY BREATHING) (GASPS) (GRUNTS) (GRUNTS) HASSAN: Please.
I'll support you.
I could have used your support at the conclave.
Now I only need one thing from you, Hassan.
It's your head.
- (GRUNTS) - (SCREAMING) (THEME MUSIC PLAYING) (TOWNSFOLK CHATTERING) This is taking too long.
- Three people? - Three people.
All right.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Cheers.
Hey.
(SIGHS) Done deal.
They'll drive us through the wall, drop us off, then we're home free.
- M.
K.
: You sure it's a good idea? - (BAJIE SIGHS) Well, have you got a better one? Huh? It's not like we can just stroll through a legitimate checkpoint, is it? We'll be caught, branded like animals and chained together for the rest of our natural lives.
And I'm sorry but I don't want to be chained to you again.
- I I don't want to be.
- You can trust them? (SIGHS) Well No, not really.
I mean, they're smugglers but our coin is good.
Unbelievable.
Unbelievable.
The pair of you.
How about, "Oh, you're fantastic, Bajie.
"We couldn't have done it without you, Bajie.
"Thanks for everything, Bajie.
" (KIT WHISTLES) Hey.
I'm ready for that thank you now.
Let's go.
Let's go.
(SCOFFS) I'm all right.
Open up! (SIGHS) Let's ride.
(ENGINE STARTING) Okay.
(INDISTINCT CHATTERING) (CLANGING) Everybody off! (PEOPLE CHATTERING) Wait.
Wait.
Wait.
Wait.
Wait.
- Those are Chau's Clippers.
- Ah, shit! They must smuggle the people through, sell them back to Chau, she doubles her profits.
What does this mean for us? It means we're screwed, kid.
There are three more inside.
This is the end of the line! You can get off or you'll be carried out in pieces.
It's up to you.
Your move.
Go fetch.
(SCREAMING) (GRUNTING) Surround the bus! - Fire! - Get down! (GRUNTING) BAJIE: Oh, it's over.
(PANTING) What? What you doing? Welcome to the Badlands.
I don't like this.
I didn't come in here without a contingency.
Anything happens, Waldo has orders to reveal Quinn's location to the other Barons and send the Butterflies in to attack.
(GRUNTING) QUINN: Minerva.
Bring out the gift.
Shall we? Indeed.
Mmm.
I present you Baron Broadmore's head.
THE WIDOW: And here is Baron Hassan's, as promised.
And what's in the others? That's Broadmore's legacy.
The heads of his wives and children.
That wasn't the deal.
His girls are innocent.
No one stays innocent forever.
You yourself taught me how dangerous a girl can be.
- (PANTING) - Mmm! See what I mean? (CHUCKLES) Shall we? Keep your eyes open.
- But, Mother - I said stay.
(CHUCKLES) (BREATHS DEEPLY) (INDISTINCT CHATTERING) CLIPPER 1: Let's go.
Get in.
(INDISTINCT CHATTERING) (MAN SCREAMS) CLIPPER 2: Let's go.
Move it.
(CLEARS THROAT) Well At least we're back in the Badlands.
Hey.
Don't get that Don't get that look, please.
Please, I hate it when you get that look.
Can you count? There are too many of 'em.
You can't kill 'em all.
I'm not planning on killing anybody.
All I need to do is talk.
(CHUCKLES) Hey.
I am the king of bullshit, even I couldn't talk our way out of this.
Your bullshit's what got us here in the first place, remember? Guard? Wha What are you doing? What are you doing? Hey! Yeah, you! Get over here.
Take me to your Baron now.
(SCOFFS) She's gonna wanna see me.
(DOOR OPENS) CHAU: A killer who enjoys the classics.
You are a rare find, Sunny.
What brings you back to the Badlands? My family.
You've made it through the Outlying Territories alive.
That's testament to your determination.
Unfortunately you've survived only to discover that the Badlands has become just as treacherous as the world beyond The Wall.
What do you mean? Quinn is alive.
He is aligned with The Widow.
He's left a trail of blood and bodies.
Aligned? They're sworn enemies.
Broadmore and Hassan have already lost their heads.
(INHALES) And I have it on good authority that I'm next on their kill list.
And whose authority is that? CHAU: One of Quinn's Loyalists.
I'm afraid he bit off his own tongue before he revealed their location, but I know it won't be long before Quinn strikes.
Which brings me to my offer.
You were once the deadliest Clipper in the Badlands.
I want you to take up that mantle again and become my Regent.
I am done fighting for Barons.
But I have a proposal of my own.
(LAUGHS) You're in no position to dictate the terms, Sunny.
I know how to lure The Widow out into the open.
I take her out, then she leads us to Quinn.
In return, you give me my freedom.
And why should I trust you to deliver? Because I'm the only one that wants Quinn dead more than you.
(INDISTINCT CHATTERING) (VEIL HUMMING) (BABY CRYING) Veil.
(STUTTERING) I I - I wanted to say I'm so - To say what? That you're sorry? What does your feeling sorry do for me? I had no idea you were going to be traded to Quinn.
Open your eyes, Tilda.
The Widow is nothing but a predator and we are all prey.
My mother is helping hundreds of women and refugees.
She She saves them from slavery and servitude.
She gives them back their dignity.
Dignity that was stolen by men like Quinn.
If she's so benevolent, why did she trade me back to that psychopath? Why is she up there now, working by his side, plotting their next round of chaos? You and I both made mistakes.
You had the chance to poison your mother.
And I could have let Quinn die.
And neither of us had the the strength, and now my little boy's paying for it.
(SNIFFLES) I need this boy.
CHAU: How are we going to reach The Widow? She wants this boy.
Why? She thinks that when he's cut, he unleashes a dark power.
Ow! He doesn't.
But she's convinced.
Hey, what's wrong with you? (GRUNTS) (CHUCKLES) He's selling you out, kid.
You have Lars and 10 Clippers at your disposal.
Take her out.
Oh, nice.
What about me? He's not part of the deal.
Sorry, Bajie.
BAJIE: You slimy, little bastard.
I thought I had a line of bullshit, but you take the cake.
I saved your life, and so did that kid.
I have to get Veil and the baby back.
And what kind of man will you be when you do, huh? What will there be left? You're gonna fail.
(WHISPERING) Moon was right about you.
You'll always be a killer.
CHAU: Sunny, we have to go.
Go on, Clipper.
Run along, your Baron's calling you.
(KISSES) We need to get word out to The Widow.
But we can't tip our hand.
It'll have to come from a source she'll believe.
What do you propose? Baron? SUNNY: You're defecting to The Widow.
JAIR: Why is he giving orders? Sunny's working with us to take down The Widow.
SUNNY: That means you answer to me now.
Your first order is to go to The Widow and tell her that Baron Chau is trading a boy named M.
K.
to the River King for weapons and supplies.
If my Baron wishes it so, then I will see it done.
Why do you trust him? I don't trust anyone.
But if he kills Quinn, then we win the war without risking our own men.
And if he dies, we've lost nothing.
(BABY COOING) QUINN: Mmm? Now, cheer up.
Hmm? We have much to celebrate.
And what on Earth would we be celebrating? My impending demise.
(INHALES SHARPLY) Mmm? Now, don't be coy, Veil.
(SLURPS) Hmm.
All those treatments I underwent, hmm? You knew they were a waste of time, didn't you? Hmm? That wasn't even the full extent of your duplicity, hmm? Poor Edgar.
You'll be pleased to know that your recent escapade wasn't entirely futile.
It sparked an epiphany.
I realized that the safest place for our boy is with me.
(COOING) Henry must never leave my sight again.
Henry's not your son.
(GRUNTS) Yes, not yet.
That's an error I intend to rectify post haste.
And what does that mean? My intention is to make Henry my rightful heir.
Veil and I are to be married.
You You can't be serious.
Time is precious and I have none to waste.
Hmm.
Before I go to my grave, I will ensure that Henry is entitled to everything that's mine.
It will be my legacy.
Have a look around.
Your legacy consists of nothing but this filthy rat hole.
Now, jealousy doesn't suit you, Lydia.
Oh, I thought even you had limits.
I'm a Baron and I'm entitled to as many wives as I want.
Marriage is a union.
Hmm? And we will be just that.
Hmm.
Unified.
Now, I know, I know you disapprove of me now.
Hmm? We'll be a family.
Hmm? This is how it's gonna be from now on until the end.
We will raise Henry together.
All of us.
I'll never go along with this.
Nonsense.
You'll do as you're told, unless you prefer that I raise Henry alone.
(SIGHS) (SIGHS) QUINN: Eat up.
Meat's getting cold.
Beautiful, Henry.
That lying, backstabbing son of a bitch! After everything I did for him.
Huh.
It's unbelievable.
Hey, I'll tell you another thing.
I am never putting my neck out for anyone ever again.
Yeah, I've learned my lesson.
The only person I'm gonna be looking out for (WHISTLES) This guy, me.
- (CHUCKLES) - Oh, yeah.
Oh.
(GASPS) Oh, I'm so sorry, you sweet (KISSES) Beautiful, Clipper.
Hey.
What's that? (CHUCKLES) Why don't you come and have a closer look? (GRUNTING) Uh-huh.
Ah! (EXHALES) (INDISTINCT CHATTERING) (MAN COUGHING) (INDISTINCT CHATTERING) (BAJIE CHUCKLES) (ENGINE REVVING) (MUSIC PLAYING) The beauty and mystery of a female voice.
Mother.
I know.
You're angry at me about Veil.
Well, it was the only way to form an alliance with Quinn.
(EXHALES) THE WIDOW: Well, but the truth, uh, the truth is I also wanted to punish her.
For what? Trying to turn you against me.
You're everything to me, Tilda.
I hope that you know that.
That doesn't change what you did.
How many of your sisters did we save because Quinn's forces are leading the charge? If the cost of that is sacrificing one person who had no allegiance to our cause, then so be it.
(DOOR OPENING) (GRUNTING) We caught one of Chau's Clippers.
Says he's defecting.
A defector? Why did you leave Chau? I'm not the only one.
All her Cogs are fleeing.
They know she can't win this war.
Hmm.
I appreciate your candor but betraying a Baron doesn't exactly speak of an honest heart.
I want the truth.
Why did you flee? Chau is desperate.
She's so low on weapons, she's even trading a boy to the River King in the hope he'll resupply her.
- A boy? - Yeah.
For months, the River King's been hunting him.
Rumor is he's some kind of demon.
When he's cut, his eyes go black.
What's this boy's name? Oh.
Uh, I don't Something strange.
It was Initials.
M.
K.
? JAIR: Yeah.
Yeah.
That's it.
Dark hair boy with dark powers.
(SHUDDERING SLIGHTLY) (SNIFFLES) Nearly done.
I can't do this.
Yes, you can.
One foot in front of the other.
A few words and then it's done.
Done? (SOBBING) This is the beginning of my nightmare.
- (SHUSHES) Calm.
Calm.
- VEIL: You don't understand.
Maybe, maybe I can make it through the ceremony, but I will not, I will not consummate this sham with the man who butchered my parents.
I won't.
I I'll kill him first.
No.
You can't do that.
That will put your life in jeopardy.
I don't care.
LYDIA: It's not just your life.
It's Henry's too.
If Quinn dies, his Loyalists won't hesitate to take their revenge.
- I can't.
I can't.
(CRYING) - You can.
I (WHISPERING) You can.
And once we're done, I will find us a way out of here.
I promise.
I promise.
(CRYING) So, is this your big plan? You gonna join forces with Chau and sell me to The Widow? Keep it down.
Right, you're a Regent again.
Gotta follow orders.
Look, I didn't rescue you from the Abbots just to sell you to The Widow.
Be ready to use that.
Is there a problem? Not another word, you got it? We're good.
He just doesn't know when to shut up.
Just follow my lead.
We will get out of here.
What about Bajie? We just leaving him behind? Don't worry about Bajie.
I gave him the key to his freedom.
He's probably long gone by now.
He'll be fine.
(WHISPERING) You're a vision.
LYDIA: Today, under the blessing of the Gods, we are here to join these two souls in sacred union.
Will you present your palms for the joining of blood lines? LYDIA: Your hand.
(BREATHES DEEPLY) (BREATHING HEAVILY) (QUINN EXHALING) May your bloodlines be fruitful and bound together till death.
Till death.
Take care of my son.
Protect him.
No matter what.
Veil.
(SNIFFLES) Now, come my darling.
Our wedding night has just begun.
(KISSES) (THUNDER CRACKLING) (GRUNTING) (GRUNTING) (GRUNTING) Don't worry M.
K.
, you're safe.
(GASPS) Tilda.
(GASPS) No one's safe.
Sunny, if you kill me, you'll never find your family.
I know where Veil is And your boy, Henry.
Tell me where.
I'll tell you everything that Chau can't.
But not if I'm dead.
Enough.
Finish her.
(GRUNTS) (ALL GRUNTING) (GRUNTING CONTINUES) (SWORDS CLANGING) (GRUNTING) (GROANS) (GRUNTS) (GROANS) (SWORD CLANGING) (GRUNTS) (BOTH MEN GRUNTING) (MEN CHOKING) (GRUNTS) (SCREAMS) (GLASS SHATTERING) (GROANS) (GRUNTS) (MAN SCREAMING) (GRUNTING CONTINUES) (YELLING IN PAIN) (MAN GROANS) (GRUNTING CONTINUES) (GASPS) (GRUNTING) (CHOKING) (GRUNTING) (PANTING) (GROANS) (GRUNTS) (YELLS) I'm a woman of my word.

THE WIDOW: I'll show you where.

GABRIEL: I have news! Sir, there was an ambush by Chau's Clippers.
Sunny was leading them.
- Sunny? - It was him that left with The Widow.
- The Baron must be told.
- Not now.
This can't wait.
He needs to know.
He needs to know now.
(QUINN INHALING DEEPLY) Quinn? Quinn.
Have you no self-respect, woman? LYDIA: I'm sorry, but this news can't wait.
It's Sunny.
He's back.
Sunny? How can that be? LYDIA: (PANTING) The report.
He's joined forces with The Widow and he's no doubt coming to find you.

(SHUDDERING) He's alive.
