Wolf King (2025) s01e08 Episode Script

1
What are you waiting for, Dad?
Speak, then.
Uh I never hurt her, Dad.
You have to believe me.
- I loved Mum as much as you loved--
- He'd say anything to save his hide.
The thing that attacked her,
I think it was a Ratlord.
I tried to save her,
but I couldn't stop him.
He knew her though. And she knew him.
It was Leopold who sent him. Has to be.
The Lions are behind
every rotten thing in this kingdom.
I haven't stopped running
since that night,
trying to work out who I am
and how to put things right for her sake.
If you won't do it, I will.
You're gonna let him live?
No matter what anyone says,
you'll always be my dad.
Come on.
Leave him to the Lion.
Please!
You have to believe me! Dad!
Hmm.
I hope this works, Hector.
We need to snap her out of it
if we're gonna save Drew.
How long before it takes effect?
We need to give it time.
Great. The one thing we don't have.
Careful! That's spyr wine, you half-wit.
One spark, and boom.
Lady Gretchen,
your seat at the grandstand is ready.
Spyr wine! Ale! Get it here!
Spyr wine! Ale!
My lady.
Excuse me.
- Please.
- Um
- Ugh.
- Uh
Vankaskan, Vanmorten.
Vega.
Nothing beats a good execution
at a wedding.
I always knew
Lucas was a hopeless romantic.
You know,
I never could tell you brothers apart.
Well, that makes things easier.
Her Royal Highness, Queen Amelie,
and the Rose of Hedgemoor, Lady Gretchen.
Come on.
Oi! He's a traitor!
Traitor!
- The queen is still out of it.
- My potion will work. It has to.
- Well, what if it doesn't?
- Have a little faith in my studies.
Knowledge is power.
I hope.
Executioner, show the people
what fate awaits a traitor!
Is that what I think it is?
Oh dear.
No!
Nice touch, Father.
Mmm.
Silver?
Keep a cool head.
Well, what are we waiting for?
Your Majesty,
perhaps you would prefer to do the honors.
My king, it is hardly proper to--
I'll be the judge of that.
Hooray for King Leopold!
Drew!
Ready.
- Wha?
- I don't think so.
What is this?
Dad?
Long live the Wolf!
No!
It can't be.
Your Majesty?
There is only one.
There is only one.
Mother?
There is only one
rightful ruler of Westland.
And he kneels before us.
The heir of King Wergar.
My son, the Wolf!
Long live the Wolf!
Long live the Wolf!
Long live the Wolf!
Long live the Wolf! Long live the Wolf!
Long live the Wolf!
Long live the Wolf!
- Long live the Wo--
- What are you doing?
- I'm sick of sitting and smiling.
- But you're meant to be my queen.
I will never be your queen! Ugh!
Long live the Wolf!
Back up, or the Lion dies.
At the hands of a human?
Dad!
Looks like you have a choice to make.
Dad!
I've got you, son! I've got you.
Long live the Wolf!
Long live the Wolf!
Protect my son, the rightful king!
Silence the witch!
With pleasure.
No!
Get off me!
Traitors! I'll tear you apart!
You'll have to come through me first!
Let's see if you last
as long as Wergar did.
Pick on someone your own size.
- Come on. We're leaving!
- Get off me!
I am your prince!
Leave her alone!
Stay out of this, piggy!
I'll give you piggy!
No!
Hector! No!
No!
You murdered my mother!
Oh, not me, boy.
I take it you've met my brother.
Whitley!
No! Get off, Whitley!
Silly little Bear cub.
Do be quiet!
And you can have your throne back too!
It was you.
You're the monster that killed my mum.
I'm sorry I sent you away.
I had no choice.
Tilly was brave.
I I knew she'd keep you safe.
History repeats itself.
Let her go, please.
Dad!
To the Wolf!
No, no, no. Dad.
Don't think you've won, Bergan.
Vankaskan? Father?
Hector? Hector.
I I couldn't save him.
- What?
- How?
I told you.
Knowledge is power.
Oh!
A bit too tight.
- You, can you ride?
- Like the wind.
Take this, head south,
and when you hit the ocean, keep going.
- You know who I need you to find?
- Yes, Your Majesty.
Raise the drawbridge!
I'm sorry, Drew.
I got you so wrong.
I turned your brother against you.
Just stay with me.
Shh, shh, shh.
Leopold is trapped,
and I'm not going anywhere.
I'm right here.
Listen to my voice. Calm the Wolf.
We just need to bide our--
So, you have a death wish, Wolf.
There's only one I wish dead.
Heh. If you'd killed the boy
when you murdered his mother,
we wouldn't be in this mess, Vanmorten.
Now, finish the job you started.
With pleasure.
Uh, may I interrupt?
Hand him over, Vega!
I think not.
- We had a deal.
- Well, I didn't like the terms.
You've nowhere to go, little Wolf.
Let him go, Vanmorten. There's a good Rat.
What a waste of good spyr wine.
I'll have nothing to drink
when I gnaw your bones, boy!
Listen to my voice.
Calm the Wolf.
Guards!
Oh, right.
It's no good.
There's too many of them.
Then the only way is down.
- I thought you said gravity was the enemy.
- Must you believe every word I say?
Where are you gonna go?
Deserter! Shut the gates!
I'm no deserter.
I have a mission from the king.
- Why is the world moving?
- That'll be the ocean.
You're on The Maelstrom.
You're with friends.
Family.
Uh, let's not forget
the man of the hour too, eh?
He must have hit his head on the rocks.
Drew, my boy.
You and I have a lot
of lost time to make up for.
Lyssia needs you, Drew.
We'll guide you, train you,
prepare you to take the throne
that is rightfully yours.
Uh
I appreciate the offer, I I really do,
but there's only ever been
one teacher I needed,
and he was beside me all along.
Hector.
Like I said to you from the start,
you're handy to have around.
You've saved me, healed me,
helped me control the Wolf.
You're all the guide I need.
Oh!
What about Leopold?
Don't worry. He's going nowhere.
He's besieged in Highcliff Keep.
A prisoner in his own castle.
Who are they all? What are they shouting?
They're your people, Drew.
They're shouting for you, for their king.
Long live the Wolf!
Long live the Wolf!
Long live the Wolf! Long live the Wolf!
Long live the Wolf!
I'm not your enemy.
The Wolf is.
