Riese (2009) s01e02 Episode Script
Bind
(Baby cries in the distance)
Oh, you're awake.
I'm Doctor Bauman.
You're in a hospital in Helmkin.
You've been unconscious
since yesterday.
That was quite a nasty wound.
We've stemmed the infection
and you should be OK.
Must've been quite a fight.
Troubles on the road.
Please stay still.
You'll reopen that wound.
NARRATOR: She received
the royal brand
when she was just a little girl.
(Babies crying)
Try to get some rest.
If you need anything,
a nurse will see to you.
It symbolised strength, bravery
and royalty.
Excuse me.
If the Doctor saw the mark, though,
the princess might be recognised.
Helmkin was no longer safe.
(Distant baby cries)
(Door clatters shut)
(Voices of staff outside)
(Loud baby cries)
NARRATOR: Babies. It had been years
since Riese laid eyes on one.
So seeing this many infants in
such a small town was beyond bizarre.
It was downright suspicious.
What are you doing
out of your room?
Come with me.
I didn't realise
No, no, I'm sorry.
This is a very private time for us.
It's a custom of ours that all women
give birth in the same month.
I realise this may sound peculiar.
We usually don't allow foreigners
inside the township at this time.
But your injury forced us
to make an exception.
(Woman cries out in protest)
NO! No, you can't do this!
Hannah!
What's going on here?
You. How could you?
Please, please, you have to help me.
They TOOK her.
Restrain her
and lock her in her room. Now.
NO! Let me go.
Let me go!
(Sobs and screams)
She's a patient of mine
who lost her child during birth.
Unfortunately
she's been unstable since.
I really must return to my duties.
You're welcome to stay here
until you've recovered.
But, please, keep to your room.
Thank you, but
I'll be leaving now.
Oh. Of course. I understand.
Miss?
Be careful on the road.
NARRATOR: The symbol of the Sect.
Riese couldn't escape it.
Not since she'd seen it
on the men that killed her family.
She had to leave, but
The grieving mother Hannah,
and the babies
(Thump!)
Hey, careful with that.
Herrick returned to Asgard.
One of the most loyal magisters
of the Sect,
he was charged with
hunting down heretics.
The term 'heretic'
was loosely applied to
anyone who disobeyed the Sect
or the Empress.
I've returned, highness.
Your report.
We have yet to capture her.
Pity.
Have you anything to say
for your failure?
No, Empress.
She cannot survive, Herrick.
I will not allow her
to reclaim the throne.
The princess will never
return to Asgard, Highness.
Her family is dead.
She has abandoned her people
and her kingdom.
That is not a risk we can take.
Perhaps you are not capable of
completing the task?
Perhaps I would have more success
were I not interrupted
to report my failures.
You dare speak to me
in such a manner?
Do not forget who permits the Sect
access to these lands!
And do not forget
who secured them for you.
Leave me.
You are disrupting my peace.
Eleysia is mine now. I will not
permit you to take it from me.
Such a shame
you didn't die with your family.
I can't let the Sect do this.
NARRATOR: Though the smart thing
would be to get
as far from Helmkin as possible,
Riese was tired of running.
It was time to fight back.
