My Brother the Minotaur (2026) s01e10 Episode Script

1
[gasps] You're not Lorcan.
[shouts, grunts] Let go of me!
[gasps]
Shut the gateway!
-Let him go!
-[grunts]
[Harper straining]
-[grunting]
-[straining]
[shouts]
[panting]
Who was that?
Somebody who needs to work on
her first impressions.
If that's what minotaurs look like
on The Other Side,
we've got bigger problems than we thought.
[gasps]
-[thunder rumbling]
-[wind howling]
[both straining]
[panting, grunting]
Look! Look! The kids' boat.
At least we know they're here.
You say that like it's a good thing.
Maybe we can catch them
before they reach the gateway.
Come on!
[Leland] Hey, Chief, where are you?
Sorry, Leland,
but this really isn't a good time.
You can say that again.
Got a lot of angry islanders
wanting to get into the cemetery.
Paying respects to our ancestors
is an important part of
the Midsummer Moon Festival.
It's not right to lock us out!
They've got a point, Chief.
-George?
-[thunder rumbling]
[sighs] George?
I've got to go.
Chief? Chief?
-[car horn honking]
-Honey?
Uh-oh.
-This way. Come on. Don't dilly-daddle.
-Ooh, I'm looking forward to this.
Wha-- What's all this?
Cemetery's closed until further notice.
Closed?
Do you have any idea
how far these good people have traveled
and how much they have paid
to enjoy the full festival experience?
Forget the cemetery.
We wanna see the minotaur!
-[tourists murmuring] Yes, where is it?
-Now, now, not get ahead of ourselves.
Take the bike and go fetch Lorcan.
I don't know where he is.
Besides, he doesn't listen to me.
-Find him and make him listen.
-How?
Money! Lies! Dog biscuits!
I don't care. Just get him!
[breathes shakily]
If these bozos don't see a minotaur soon…
[breathes heavily]
…things are going to get ugly.
[chuckles] Right, where was I?
[wind howling]
[birds chirping]
[door opens]
It just doesn't seem right, going
to the festival with Lorcan still missing.
I know, but we can't arouse suspicion.
We swore an oath
to keep this island's secrets.
We must act as if nothing is wrong.
What, like Lorcan didn't find
the gateway to another world
and then disappear through it?
Exactly.
What?
[grunting]
[gasps, yelps]
[breathes shakily, grunts]
Stupid, lousy piece of junk!
[gasps]
Hmm.
[gasps]
[laughs]
That's just-- I mean-- This is--
What?
[whimpering, straining]
A moment, please.
Of course.
[exhales sharply]
Your parents will be so relieved
to have you home.
-I can't stay.
-What?
The dark energy's
destroying The Other Side,
and the minotaurs
are helping make that happen.
But, Lorcan, what can you do?
My father's gone.
That puts me next in line for the throne.
When I'm Minotaur King,
I'll change everything.
She'll never allow that.
Who?
Kai. The only other minotaur
who knows you exist.
And she's already tried
putting a stop to you once.
But you told me yourself,
the crown can only go to the next in line.
And after you, she is the next in line.
I don't understand.
Kai is your sister.
[gasps]
[Charlie] What we need is a plan.
What we need is one less
six-foot, trident-wielding minotaur
on the other side of that door.
[breathing heavily, groans]
Thank goodness, I'm not too late.
If you came here to stop us,
you're wasting your time.
I'm not here to stop you.
I'm going with you.
-[gasps]
-You are?
Of course. Lorcan needs us. All of us.
I hate to spoil the moment,
but do you want to tell him what's behind
door number two, or should I?
We've been keeping secrets from you
since the day you arrived,
but we never knew you had a sister.
A twin, born only minutes after Lorcan.
How could she choose a crown
over her own brother?
The dark energy has taken hold of her.
The minotaurs' minds are not their own.
Why haven't you been affected by
this dark energy?
I've lived in hiding for many years.
But it's spreading fast.
Soon there will be nowhere left to hide.
I need to face Kai. It's the only way.
No. She's too strong.
If I could just talk to her--
You can never go back.
My world is beyond saving.
Now we must keep you and this world safe.
The gateways must remain shut forever.
Gateways? There's more than one?
Minotaur or not,
we have to open the gateway.
There's no other way.
Granddad's right.
It's our only hope of
ever seeing Lorcan again.
Well, when you put it like that…
We're in.
Stop! Don't listen to him.
Give me the amulet.
He's obviously the pooka.
Don't give him the amulet.
Of course he's gonna say that.
He's the pooka.
What do I do?
-Give it to him.
-Don't give it to him.
[both] What are you talking about?
Not helping.
Which many historians believe may
or may not have been ruins…
Hello, dears.
Have you seen Charlie or George?
Why, no, we haven't.
Have you asked Dana?
We can't find her.
Nobody's seen any of the kids all day.
That's odd.
I wouldn't worry.
There's probably
a very logical explanation.
You don't scare me, Pooka.
You pookas are devious creatures,
aren't you?
[grunting]
[both grunting, straining]
Should we help?
-I feel like we should help.
-Help who?
[both grunting, panting]
[grunts, groans]
It looks like your granddad
has a little fight left in him.
Stay away from the amulet.
You still think I'm the pooka?
No offense, but maybe?
It does seem unlikely that an older man,
even one versed in
the ways of martial arts,
could overpower a shape-shifting monster
in hand-to-hand combat.
She makes a good,
if a little long-winded, point.
[grunting]
[sighing, groaning]
Unless of course the monster
turns his back on his opponent.
Something a real martial artist
would never do.
That's him, all right.
I'd know my granddad anywhere.
Hello.
I really need to spend more time
with my granddad. [gasps]
I think that's quite enough theatrics,
don't you?
Now open the gateway.
As long as you've got Charlie,
the gateway stays closed.
I'll release your friend…
-[strains]
-…after you open the gateway.
-You have my word.
-Don't do it!
-[panting]
-Fine.
That's it.
Now let him go.
And why would I do that?
[Walker] Because you gave your word.
Now let the boy go.
You have no idea what you're dealing with.
Enlighten me.
-[grunts]
-[Charlie grunts]
[strains]
[growling]
[grunts]
[groaning]
I know. It's a lot.
But here's what I need you to do.
Close your mouths.
And get yourselves and George out of here.
Whatever you say, Chief.
I'm not leaving without Lorcan.
Since the night Lorcan arrived
on this island, I have been his guardian.
And I swear I'll do everything in my power
to bring him back.
But right now,
it's George that needs your help.
[groaning]
[sighs] All right, for granddad.
But I'm coming back for Lorcan.
[crash]
[grunts]
[sighs]
How did I miss you?
Absolutely fascinating.
You have no idea what you're dealing with.
So, what's the deal with
the paranormal peace officer?
[groans]
Chief Walker is a fairy warrior
of some legend
and more than just Lorcan's protector.
She's been guarding the gateways
since they were sealed.
But wouldn't that make her
over a thousand years old?
Indeed.
Yes. It's all making sense now.
Excuse me?
Since the gateways were sealed,
both amulets have remained here
on the island.
And it was a fairy who opened the gateway
to let baby Lorcan through.
So Walker must have been here all along.
Chief Walker really is
over a thousand years old.
Wow. She must moisturize.
[Olivia] Stop.
I'm not doing anything.
Yes, you are. You're thinking,
and I know what you're thinking about.
And you need to stop.
I can't.
The Other Side is being destroyed
by a dark energy,
twisting the minotaurs' minds,
eliminating everything in its wake.
I finally found a world
where I was meant to be,
-and it's dying.
-[minotaurs growling]
How can I go back to my old life now?
I can't just hide here and let it happen.
It's too late, Lorcan.
You heard what Arianys said.
I also heard her say I have a sister.
A sister who chose a crown over you.
Because the dark energy poisoned her mind.
Kai needs my help.
[cackles]
-[grunting]
-[grunts, gasps] No! [sighs]
-[Pooka grunts]
-[gasps, sighs]
-[cackles, groaning]
-[whimpers]
-[shouts]
-[Pooka grunts]
-[grunts, groaning]
-[straining]
[screaming, straining]
-[grunts]
-[Pooka grunting]
[shouting, straining]
-[Pooka grunting]
-[shouting]
[gasping]
-[groans]
-[laughs]
Looks like we both
underestimated each other.
[cackles]
[thunder rumbling]
Okay, let's go.
No way. Forget it. Not happening.
I rowed us all the way here.
One of you can do it.
-Bad shoulder.
-Umbrella.
Leg.
[groans]
[inhales deeply, grunting]
-[cackles]
-[groaning]
[groaning, straining]
-[Pooka] That's it. Yes, yes! That's it.
-No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!
[screams] No!
[laughs]
[groans]
[groaning]
Alas, our time has come to an end.
-Goodbye, Chief Walker. It's been magical.
-[grunting, groaning]
-[cackling]
-[straining continues]
[Pooka grunts]
[Walker groaning]
[panting]
[gasps]
[grunts, exclaims]
[groaning]
-[grunts]
-We're sorry, George.
We never meant for any of this to happen.
We were only trying to help Lorcan.
[grunts]
But now you're hurt, Lorcan's missing,
and it's all our fault.
I swear, when we get Lorcan back,
our adventuring days are over.
Over? This is just the beginning.
Lorcan's not the only one with a destiny.
What do you mean?
You, all three of you,
are to be the next generation of Elders.
In a few short weeks,
you have uncovered more secrets
and-- and shown more courage and spirit
than any of the Elders before you.
The next Elders, us?
Wait, us?
But we're children.
How are we supposed to protect the world…
-[water splashes]
-…from an evil minotaur empire?
I don't know,
but we'd better think of something, fast.
[grumbles]
[cemetery visitors] Let us in!
-Let us in! Let us in!
-[Stone Grimes] Enough is enough, Leland.
Either you open this gate now
or we're knocking it down!
Okay now, let's all just take a breath
and calm down.
-[gasps]
-I thought you were going to fix this.
And so I shall.
Ah! Here comes my associate now.
-Well… [breathes shakily] …where's Lorcan?
-He's not here.
I can see that.
N-No.
I-I mean he's not here in this world.
[inhales sharply]
Wesley, to say "less than none whatsoever"
would be overstating
how much help you have been.
Uh-oh.
[tourist]
You promised us a magical journey
through the mysterious folklore
of Bryony Island.
And so far we haven't seen
a single magical or mysterious--
-[gasps]
-[all gasping]
-[gasps]
-[gasps]
Uh, hi.
[breathing deeply, grunting]
[groaning]
[grunting]
-We'll never outrun her.
-We can't stay out here.
The storm's getting worse,
and George needs help.
Look, a flare.
"A long-range distress signal."
-Do it!
-Hold on.
There are some safety instructions.
"Number one:
Do not point at people or property.
Number two: Do not use indoors.
Number three:
Always point away from your body.
-Number four"--
-Do you think we could speed this along?
I'm not taking any chances.
Flares can be dangerous.
Unlike armed and angry minotaurs?
"Number four."
[groans]
-[gasps, sighs]
-[Clara whimpers]
-We were so worried.
-I'm fine, Mom.
Ah, great to see you, Son.
Yeah, thanks.
This is Arianys. She's my, uh--
Your mother. Yes, I know.
And she looks like she needs our help.
I got her.
[thunder rumbling]
I'll take her to my clinic.
"Number 24: Do not use
during hot-air ballooning season."
Right, that's it.
[groans]
[people chattering]
[Leland]
Get back. Stay back. Nothing to see here.
Get back. Stay back.
-We should go.
-Wait. Where's Charlie?
We don't know. He's been gone all day.
George too.
And we can't find Dana or Harper anywhere.
Look.
What are you doing?
It's them. I know it.
-No! Lorcan, wait!
-Come back!
This is awesome!
What's next? No, no, no, no,
don't tell me. I don't wanna ruin it.
What a show!
Show?
[car engines starting]
[siren wailing]
Everybody, back on the bus.
[thunder rumbling]
[groans]
So close and yet so far.
My granddad's hurt, and nothing's gonna
stop us getting him the help he needs.
Lorcan! You're back!
Good thing too.
Just can't stay out of trouble, can you?
[George groans]
Granddad?
[groans]
You need to get him to Dr. Elson.
[softly] Take this.
Are you kidding? You can't face her alone.
This is between me and my sister. Now go!
Did he say "sister"?
I have a half sister?
Congratulations. She's lovely.
[groans]
Come on. George needs us.
We'll get help!
So you finally decided
to stop running and fight.
Maybe you are a minotaur after all.
I'm not here to fight.
Well, this won't take long then.
[grunts, groans]
This isn't you, Kai.
You need to let go of the dark energy.
You know nothing.
[grunting]
-Aha!
-[grunts, shouts]
Aha!
Not a fast learner, are you?
[grunts]
[gasping, groaning]
[coughing, groans]
[coughing]
You shall never wear my father's crown.
It belongs to me!
[Lorcan] I don't want the crown.
-But I do want change.
-[grunts]
[Lorcan] The Other Side is dying.
Can't you see that?
Arobor! It is called Arobor.
You don't even know the name of our world,
yet they would make you king.
[Lorcan]
You don't have to be like our father.
You could bring peace to Arobor.
Drive out the dark energy.
You see?
Already you are deciding
how things should be,
telling me what to do.
I've spent my life
preparing to take my place on the throne.
You will not stand in my way!
[grunting, groans]
-[Kai roars]
-[banging]
[Kai screams]
[police siren wailing]
Look, it's Dana!
Pull over.
[sighs] Don't do that to me, Dana.
George is hurt.
Don't worry. We've got him.
Thanks, Dad.
Oh, George.
Stop fussing. I'm fine.
-Are you all right, Charlie?
-Yes. But Lorcan needs our help.
[Kai grunting, screaming]
[gasping]
Chief, this is Leland. Do you copy?
Chief Walker, do you copy?
[groaning]
[panting]
[Leland] We've got a bit of a situation
at the beach. Over.
I'm not sure what I'm looking at here,
but it is not good.
Come on, hon, I need you. We all do.
-Over.
-[gasps]
[breathing heavily]
[grunting, groans]
[grunts, sighs]
[gasps]
[grunts, exclaims]
[thunder rumbling]
Is that all you've got?
You should've brought a trident.
Maybe we can share.
-[grunts]
-[exclaiming]
[thunderclap]
[exclaims, grunting]
[grunts]
-[grunting]
-[grunting]
[grumbles]
[grunting]
-[exclaims]
-[grunts]
[both grunt]
-[Kai grunts]
-[panting]
-[grunting]
-[exclaims]
[screams]
[Lorcan panting, grunting]
-[exclaims]
-[Lorcan grunts]
[both grunting]
[exclaims, grunts]
[grunts]
-[grunting]
-[shouts]
[panting] No!
[both grunting]
I don't want to hurt you, Kai.
I'm sorry, but I can't let you go back.
[pants] You're not yourself.
[chuckles] You think you know me?
No. I've never even met you, only
the dark energy controlling your mind.
[pants] It's using you, Kai.
Using me?
I've never felt more powerful
or in control.
And I know you felt it too.
I saw it in your dreams.
That was you? I thought--
[chuckles] It was our father?
"Help me, Lorcan. Help me!" No, all me.
I was in your mind,
and I felt the dark energy there.
-You're just like me.
-That's not true.
[crowd chattering]
Something is happening. Come on, come on.
Come with me, Lorcan.
We can conquer worlds together.
It's what you want.
How could you think that?
Because it's all you've ever wanted.
I'm offering you a chance
to finally belong.
Stop it. I know what you're trying to do.
Our worlds are changing.
Don't you want to be
on the winning side when they do?
I've already chosen my side.
And which side is that, Lorcan?
The world that wanted no part of you
or the world you could never be part of?
[growls] Enough!
[growling]
-Don't do it!
-You're nothing like her.
This isn't you, Lorcan.
[thunder rumbling]
Being raised by humans has made you weak.
You're no minotaur.
There was a time I wished I wasn't.
When I would've done anything to be human.
Just like all the other kids.
But I'm not like all the other kids, am I?
I'm the minotaur with the human heart,
which is exactly who I need to be
to unite the worlds.
[chuckling] Unite the worlds?
Who do you think you are?
I'm Lorcan McCready.
And McCreadys are fixers, not fighters.
It's not too late, Kai. Let me help you.
Aw.
-[growls]
-[grunts]
-[growls]
-[all gasping]
Whoa.
It's over, Kai.
-Nothing is over.
-[hooves approaching]
[grunts]
[tourists cheering, laughing]
Now, that's a show!
They'll be fine, boys.
Aren't you just full of surprises,
Mr. Craignelder.
-[laughs]
-[cheers]
Let's get this festival started!
See you on the bus.
I'm sorry, but shouldn't you all
be at the diner right now?
Or had you forgotten
there's a festival on?
I think this family
has had enough excitement for one day.
We might just sit this one out.
[grunting, panting]
This is no time for happy families.
My guests are expecting
a Midsummer Moon Festival.
We can't have a festival without food.
Might not be a bad idea.
Right now the tourists think
this was all part of the festival.
He's got a point.
If we want to keep them fooled,
we need to see this through.
Could be the start of a bright future
for you and your diner.
Come on. Help me out here.
It does make sense.
Yeah, but… help Craignelder?
Okay. First of all, ouch, my feelings.
And secondly,
I thought McCreadys were fixers.
That's not-- [stammers]
I-I didn't-- You can't--
Oh, I don't believe this.
-[folk music playing]
-[festival goers chattering, laughing]
-Fries, hamburger. Anything else?
-Burger with fries?
Oh, ta-ta.
First thing tomorrow, I'll get to work
repairing the second gateway.
Cutting off the dark energy
from its source
should put an end to its spread here.
Thanks for having my back all these years.
It hasn't been easy,
but it has been an honor.
Can I help you?
You turned into a fairy warrior,
battled a pooka,
then flew across the island
to levitate a trident.
We're never taking our eyes off you again.
To be fair, Chief, it's a lot to take in.
How do you think my husband feels?
Hang on. No.
I better go save him from his imagination.
Excuse me.
It warms the heart
to see the islanders so happy again.
And they have you and your friends
to thank for it.
If only they knew the truth.
As long as Kai has the second amulet,
they'll never be safe.
We can discuss that tomorrow.
But tonight is about celebration.
So go on, celebrate.
Yes, yes, enjoy yourselves.
-So, we hear you're a prince…
-[chuckles]
…Your Royal Highness.
And I hear you're about to become
the youngest Elders in history.
I don't think it's sunk in yet.
I'm not sure it ever will.
-Do we even want to be Elders?
-Have we got a choice?
Will we be ready when the time comes?
The time is already here.
And I don't know about you, but I'm ready.
You're right.
After all we've been through,
I think we're ready for anything.
[microphone feedback]
Anything except this.
-Oh, no. No, no, no!
-[crowd cheering]
Hello, Bryony Island!
We are Extra Medium,
…and you are welcome!
Extra Medium, Extra Medium
Right before your eyes ♪
Extra Medium, Extra Medium ♪
Try us on for size ♪
[crowd cheering]
-[knocking]
-[Archie] Okay. Okay.
Good morning.
Wow. What a night. Am I right?
Indeed. A triumph all round.
Mr. Craignelder?
I appear to have lost my son, Wesley Jr.
I was hoping he might be here
with his friends.
I'll ask the boys if they've seen him.
Oh, boys.
Boys?
Are you sure about this?
It's my destiny.
I'm going to bring peace
to The Other Side,
drive out the dark energy
and unite the worlds.
That sounds dangerous.
Especially for, you know, a kid.
A kid? I'm king of the minotaurs.
They just don't know it yet.
If I wait for Kai
to bring her minotaur army to our world,
we won't stand a chance.
I have no choice, but you do.
This is my destiny, not yours.
Forget it. You're not doing this alone.
Minotaur King or not,
you're still my brother.
And if there's one thing I've learned
through all of this,
it's that you need me.
-Oh, really?
-Really.
And I have to go. The second half
of the ancient verse clearly states,
"When sapphire moon lights up the skies,
the crown will fall
and an heir shall rise."
[Harper] What does that mean?
I don't know. That's why I have to go.
Harper?
Well, obviously I have to go.
I'm your leader.
Hey! Snap out of it.
I thought we were in a hurry.
[sighs] Okay.
We're really doing this.
Everybody ready?
-Ready for what?
-I have no idea.
[pants]
