Roar s01e08 Episode Script

I feel nothing.
I'm sorry.
I can't feel the life in me anymore.
Feel my life.
It's too late for that.
Things will change.
We'll tear this island apart.
- We'll find the spear.
| - The spear is gone forever.
I will never die.
| and you will never return to Rome.
These dreams are over! They have been stolen from us.
That prince- [ Inhales Deeply .]
| Conor.
I want to feel his pain.
| He has a great capacity for it.
I think.
I want to be there | when his friends die.
I want to be there | when his world crumbles.
| I will see that it does.
Everyone on this island | will wear this brand | as a sign of allegiance to me.
- I don't think Rome- | - There is no Rome.
There is only loyalty.
Where do you stand | on the question of loyalty.
| my love? - [ Sizzling .]
| - [ Gasping .]
Ooh.
My son will | be here soon.
| Or your daughter.
[ Laughing .]
| I've made up my mind.
It's not what's in his mind | that counts.
We're honored to share this day | with you.
Alwyn.
| [ Alwyn .]
| Hmm.
Leaders from 1 0 tribes | have come to welcome our child.
[ Conor .]
| The child of a great chieftain.
If all goes well.
he'll grow up | with a strong Confederation | to protect him.
We're grateful for your support.
| Rome doesn't stand a chance | against a united island.
I knew your father.
Conor.
Your work would make him proud.
| Thank you.
Get some rest.
I'm a father myself.
| and I'll give you some advice: have a son.
| [ Chuckles .]
[ Children Chattering .]
Conor.
| That's me.
I have a message for you | from the Father.
- What is it? | - "Come.
'' - To the Druid temple? | - Yes.
To Cathbad.
- Why? | - The message is: "Come.
'' There is no "why.
'' We've got business here.
| Perhaps in a couple of days.
"Come'"means, "Come now.
'" When the Druid king | says.
"Come.
'' you come.
| You don't argue with the Father.
[ Catlin .]
| We'll miss you.
May the gods smile | upon our journey.
[ Man Narrating .]
| Long ago, | at the edge of the known world, the last Celtic tribes | were fighting for survival.
Europe had fallen | to the Romans, and this remote | and untamed island was the final stronghold | of the ancient ways.
[ Roaring .]
[ Conor.]
Do you think they can handle it? | [ Fergus .]
Handin' a gift to a newborn? | They're more than capable.
You know what I mean- | dealing with the other tribe leaders.
| advancing the Confederation.
Catlin and Tully have as much experience | with this unity business as you have.
| Oh.
I suppose.
They'll be fine.
| Anyway.
you have to do this.
The Father wouldn't be callin' | unless it was important.
[ Man .]
| Come on, Father.
It's time.
| Right this way.
The Father's chambers.
- [ Conor.]
Father.
| - I don't need a bath.
You can't make me.
No.
! | Get away.
! I don't want to.
- Come with us.
| - Leave me alone! I had a bath yesterday.
[ Man .]
| Father, come on now.
Please.
! I'm clean.
Put me down! | I'm the Father! - A bath will do you good.
| - I don't want a bath! - You'll enjoy it really.
| - Put me down.
I'm the Father! Put me down! | I don't want to.
[ Laughs .]
- Married? | - A symbolic marriage.
I understand.
Father.
But- | But married? Each village chief | will wed a young novice- | a symbolic ceremony.
This is a time when the Druids need | a strong connection to the people.
[ Groans Quietly .]
I see darkness ahead for our people.
- Not so hard! | - The novice would be my wife? For two years.
| You would be her protector.
| her teacher.
She would gain a knowledge | of your people.
In time she would be | the village Druid.
- Can't she just visit? | - The bonds must be strong.
- Oh.
but Father.
if you- | - He'd be honored.
He knows his duty.
- If it's married you want him.
| it's married he'll be.
| - [ Groans .]
The bonds must be strong | to fight the evil.
- What evil? | - He will raise up an army.
| and they will wear his mark.
- Who? | - You will meet your bride tomorrow.
Can I get out now? [ Catlin .]
| Before we present | our gift for the child.
we kneel before Alwyn | on your right knee only.
And only after he acknowledges you | do you turn to his wife.
Then I'll rise.
| present her the gift- | [ Tully .]
| I'm presenting the gift.
No.
you're not.
I am.
| I made that little sword and the shield.
| It took me three weeks.
Give it to me.
Tully.
| Catlin.
this is ridiculous.
Will you stop? | [ Weapons Clatter On Ground .]
I.
too.
have a gift.
Not wrought gold or fine clothes.
My gift to honor the birth | is of a different nature.
My gift is the future.
My child shall have future enough | without gifts of the Romans.
I'm not here as a Roman.
Romans.
Highlanders.
River People- These are just names.
| and names divide us.
The future I offer is based on a new alliance | of all people with a common purpose.
[ Crowd Murmuring .]
And what purpose is that? Peace.
prosperity.
protection.
trust.
Lies.
betrayal.
thievery.
death.
You might be right | about that last one.
[ Moaning .]
| [ Flesh Squishing .]
[ Continues Moaning .]
- Is there anyone else who won't accept | my gift of friendship? | - [ Yelping .]
[ Continues Yelping, Moaning .]
[ Alwyn Whimpering .]
| This child will grow up | in a new world- a new world with a new alliance.
A stronger alliance | than others may have offered you.
An alliance that will last | till the end of time.
[ Moans .]
Who will join me? [ Alwyn Continues Moaning, | Whimpering .]
Hmm.
Fergus.
you stop laughing.
[ Fergus .]
| I'm not laughing.
| [ Chuckles .]
I know you are.
Do you hear me laughin'? | I don't have to.
This is the best thing | that ever happened to you.
Isn't it.
ladies? | What's so great about this? Takin' a wife.
| I don't want a wife.
Course you do.
| You'd marry him.
wouldn't you.
lass? | What do I want a wife for? Now I'm laughin'.
| [ Laughs .]
It's just symbolic.
Fergus.
Good.
So you can symbolize with her | day and night for the next two years.
I think about Claire day and night.
Claire's dead.
lad.
Stoppin' your life | won't bring her back.
Claire loved life.
| She loved yours.
By cuttin' yourself off from it.
| she dies again.
[ Chuckles .]
Fergus.
you're a big.
bald ox.
| you know? But sometimes- maybe- you make sense.
I have me moments.
| [ Chuckles .]
- Day and night.
you say? | - That's me boy.
[ Laughs .]
For two years.
| [ Laughs .]
Come on.
lad.
It's time | to swim in the sea again.
The world's a feast.
| and you're invited.
Have your way with this girl.
| It'll clear your head.
What do you say.
curly? | Make the big.
bald ox proud.
- All right.
| - You swear? - I swear.
[ Chuckles .]
| - [ Laughing .]
[ Longinus .]
| You played your part well today.
[ Kisses .]
[ Sighs .]
Bad vintage.
I'd kill you if I could.
| Hmm.
That's why I love you.
You disgust me.
| Well.
it's not the first time.
It's the last.
And wherever will you go? Find a home among | the great unwashed hordes? They know you too well.
| You wouldn't last two days.
Thinking of taking | some soldiers for protection? | They won't go unless I tell them to.
Perhaps you're thinking | of finding your way back to Rome.
They won't be very happy with | the way you handled the island.
| It's turned to chaos.
You destroyed | everything we worked for.
- Why? | - It's my nature.
Everything's changed.
| Everything.
Nothing's changed.
my love.
| You're staying with me | until something better comes along- just like always.
Now give us a kiss.
I have chosen the novice | who will be your wife.
Is she a healthy girl.
| Father? | [ Conor.]
| Fergus! She's not wearin' any- | Quiet.
Doesn't look like | a novice to me | [ Chuckles .]
| Shh.
I- F-Fergus.
uh, isn't she- It's my daughter.
[ Men Straining.
Chattering .]
| Get your eyes off my daughter! | Take your hands off me! What're you lookin' at? | Hey.
what're you lookin' at? What do ya think you're doin'? | Cover yourself.
| It's not right.
I'm supposed to be revealed.
| You've been revealed.
And you're not | parading around like that! | Who are you to tell me how to parade? Your father.
| So? What're you lookin' at? | And you? - Did you know about this? | - [ Molly .]
You've ruined everything.
What in the name of Bridget | are you doin' here? | I'm to be his wife.
Not anymore you're not.
| I'm a novice.
| I obey the wishes of the Father.
You will obey the wishes | of this father.
young lady.
| Since when have you found the callin'? It's been a month now.
| You can't be a novice in a month.
| You just started.
That's what "novice'' means.
Tell him you made a mistake.
| I will not.
You've insulted the Druids.
you've endangered the alliance of this island.
| and you've embarrassed me beyond words.
Well.
I wasn't the one | standin' around naked.
She has a point.
Fergus.
| Oh.
listen to this.
You leave her alone.
| I will.
I swear.
| [ Chuckles .]
Easy now.
my love.
| Sleep.
Huh.
I can't.
Your face- Can you see anything? | I do.
I see our people.
I see their hearts and their minds tested.
- [ Tully .]
He won't get away with this.
| - He already has.
No one on this island will join him.
| He's a monster- a killer.
There are those | who would see that | as strength.
That monster is death.
- [ Sobs .]
| - I have seen death.
[ Arm Thuds .]
[ Catlin .]
| We've got to find Conor.
[ Sobbing .]
- [ Longinus .]
Not enough? | - You are very generous.
Longinus.
"My lord.
'' | My lord.
Tell me more of the prince.
| The marriage to a novice | will strengthen him.
He is already well thought of | and influential.
With a Druid by his side.
| the island will be galvanized.
The Druid priests and the Father | hold the heart of the people.
| This is their strength.
The Druids have always- | Yes.
yes.
| I didn't ask for a lesson.
Forgive me.
my lord.
Open another bag.
Longinus.
| Please.
My lord.
| Your friendship | is greatly appreciated.
Any time you need a favor.
my lord.
| It is an honor.
A favor.
you say? It's good to have friends.
| Yes.
my lord.
Thank you.
my lord.
Well.
aren't you clever? This prince is poison- | [ Coins Clinking .]
and allied with the Druids.
| he could almost be a threat.
In the interest of our garden.
I think it's time to cut | the head off the snake.
Fergus.
Ah.
Molly.
| Didn't recognize you | with all your clothes on.
I came to talk to you.
| but I see that's a waste of my time.
Molly.
wait.
| He's sorry.
I am not.
| Yes.
you are.
All right.
| Yes.
I am.
I'm sorry for makin' a mess | of the ceremony and for the things I said- | some of them- and I'm sorry for insultin' | all the important Druids | in the world.
and I'm sorry for hurtin' | anyone's feelings.
if I did.
Thank you for that.
But I'm not sorry for behaving like any father | would when his daughter's showing off | her mysteries to a bunch of strangers.
I don't care if they're Druids or drunkards.
| No daughter of mine should be | paradin'around like some- - This is hopeless.
| - Molly! I'm not going to talk to him.
| Talk to me.
- What's the point? | - You be quiet.
A husband and wife | shouldn't have any secrets.
It's symbolic.
| I know that.
Then tell him.
| I will.
It's important- | more important | than anyone's feelings.
no matter how stupid | or strong.
It's for the common good- | the soul of the people | and the land.
No one person | or one village matters.
It's for the good.
| Tell him that.
I think he already knows.
You've changed.
Yes.
The Father will speak to you now.
I see me daughter and things | just come out of me mouth | like it's someone else talkin'- some crazy, old man- | some stupid,jealous, crazy, old man.
It's the strangest thing.
Conor.
| Hmm? Marry her.
[ Chuckles .]
[ Men Chanting .]
I'm here to see the Father.
He sent for me.
I just want to tell him | that what happened before | won't happen again.
That I'm ready to go ahead | with the marriage.
I'm one of the husbands.
| you know? Could you tell him | I was here? [ Father .]
| Brothers.
[ Diana .]
| I'm here to warn you.
| This man Longinus is very dangerous.
[ Door Opens, Closes .]
Father! [ Man .]
| Be still here.
- Queen Diana has news.
| - I don't care to hear it.
I think you'll want to hear this.
Longinus is coming to kill you.
[ Diana .]
| I came here to help you.
| Your help I could do without.
I am not the enemy! | Oh.
right.
[ Sighs .]
| Longinus has gone mad.
| He's turned against everyone.
When you destroyed the Spear of Destiny.
| you took away his chance to die.
| and for that.
he's sworn to punish you.
Your husband murdered my family.
| Your people would murder my land.
The sorcerer is gonna- | Is going to kill you | tonight.
Since when do you care | about my welfare? If you die.
who do you think | your followers will blame? | [ Scoffs .]
Me.
Rome.
| Yeah.
It's always the Romans.
| We have done some good.
| you know? Tell that to your God.
| [ Sighs .]
| I want you to live.
Conor.
I think we can work together | to make this land a better place | for both of us.
We can start by paving these roads.
| You don't belong here.
| neither does your monster.
The curse he has | is the curse he deserves.
Now.
we have two choices: cut out your heart- | What? [ Gasps .]
| or teach you to ride.
[ Fabric Tearing .]
| [ Chuckles .]
- You're killing yourself.
| - Let your beast come.
If he wants to die that badly.
| we'll find a way to accommodate him.
Hyah! I don't suppose you fellows would like | to guard the doors tonight? I'm getting married.
you know? You won't be kissing him.
| will you? Well.
it wouldn't be right.
| It'd be like kissing your brother.
But he's not my brother.
| Well.
he's like my son.
Seems to me | he's more like your brother.
Well.
you don't see me | kissing him.
do you? It's just symbolic.
Fergus.
| We're not really getting married.
It's just the Father's way | of bringing the Druids | and people closer together.
I wish you wouldn't call me that.
| What? - Fergus.
| - It's your name.
isn't it? I'm your da.
| You should call me "Da.
'' - I hardly know you.
| - Well.
I'm still your da.
- It's a funny word.
| - No.
it's not.
"Da.
'' | It sounds funny to me.
| Well.
I like it.
Da.
Da.
Da.
Da.
| It sounding funny.
yet? | Oh.
stop.
[ Singsongy .]
| Da.
Da.
Da.
Da.
Da.
| I'm tellin' you.
girl.
Whatever I call you.
| does it change who we are? I'm your daughter.
Always will be.
What is it? It's just hard to give you up- | even if it is symbolic.
But you never had me | in the first place.
We're just getting | to know each other.
There's still tradition- | a link with the past.
Molly.
there's not enough | tradition left in this world.
I tell you what.
Da: If Conor and I have a child.
| we'll name it after you.
A child? | Fergus.
Little Fergus.
A very traditional name.
How much further? | Just over those hills.
[ Catlin .]
| There! Bastards! | That's my family's food! - [ Tully Yelps .]
| - Are you crazy? He was trying to help you.
If you're smart.
| you'll tend to your friend | and let us go about our business.
- We just want the horses.
| - Who are you? Soldiers of the new alliance.
- What new alliance? | - We fight in the name | of Gaius Cassius Longinus for our land and our freedom.
- [ Catlin .]
Oh.
my God.
| - Don't you know what he is? He's the future.
my friend.
| Perhaps you'll join us.
I'd die first.
Let's go! | Don't try to follow.
[ Horse Whinnies .]
We have to warn Conor | and the others.
Can you walk? | She cut me pretty good.
Come on.
| We've got to get to Conor.
Catlin.
how many of our people | do you think Longinus has turned? I don't want to know.
I have no idea if Diana | was telling the truth.
| [ Sighs .]
But if my presence here | is endangering anyone- | Your presence blesses us.
Perhaps we should cancel | the ceremony.
| Then Longinus has won.
Father.
I'm not afraid to die.
I just don't want | anyone else getting hurt.
You can't control the future.
| And neither can he.
When we die, | our spirit passes to another- from this life to the next.
Don't feed the beast | by giving in to your fear.
I'm not afraid.
| I just want to do what's right.
You carry the faith of your people.
| They trust you to be | stronger than he is.
But am I? | This man has lived five lifetimes.
How do you know | you haven't lived a thousand? When it's our time.
we know.
| and we are at peace.
for good is as eternal as evil.
Now go and take your bride.
You look very pretty.
| Just keep movin'.
Which side do I stand on? | We practiced this.
I was so busy | thinkin' about the kiss.
I- | Enough.
Go to the right.
And keep your distance | from my daughter.
| or I'll be putting you in the fire.
Have you seen her yet? | No.
I wonder if she's going | to be naked again.
| She's not going to be naked.
I had a long talk | with the Father.
and explained | that under no circumstances- Sweet Bridget.
| Fergus.
She looks like a dove.
| She's beautiful.
Hello.
Da.
Fergus.
the flowers.
You look very handsome.
And you are a vision.
How are you feeling? | I was fine until you showed up.
Almost seems real.
doesn't it? It's like a dream.
Where's the Father? | Hmm? The Father- | He should be here by now.
[ Door Opens .]
- Hello.
Father.
| - From this life to the next.
[ Men Chanting .]
| [ Tully Grunting .]
Excuse me.
| I'm looking for Conor.
| He came to see the Father.
My friend's been hurt.
| and we need his help.
Please? | Please tell me where he is.
[ Chanting Continues .]
- Oh.
no.
| - What is it? What are they doing? This is a funeral.
[ Fergus .]
| Catlin.
- The Father's dead.
| - What? He's been murdered.
| Conor found him.
- [ Tully .]
Molly, what are you doing here? | - Are you all right? I don't know.
| He needs looking after.
Where's Conor? [ Thunderclap .]
There was nothing I could do.
| She exposed me.
| To gain their trust.
To save herself.
| She came to the temple | to warn Conor about you.
Me? | I thought you were going to kill him.
| I had no idea you were after that child.
And for the sake of this prince.
| you betrayed me? He mustn't die.
Longinus.
Turn him into a martyr.
| and the entire island will rise against us.
Ow! There is no "us.
'' - You're hurting me.
| - Oh.
how novel- feelings.
Oh.
please.
Longinus- There was a time when I loved you | more than I loved my God.
but you both broke my heart.
This man I can forgive.
| Bless you.
my lord.
But you deserve life.
[ Diana .]
| Oh! Study his eyes.
Diana.
| You're looking in a mirror.
| [ Conor .]
Longinus.
! [ Shouts .]
| You killed the Father! Seems to be my lot in life! No! | [ Shouts .]
| He was a child! A child in need of an education.
Is that the best you can do.
Prince? [ Shouts .]
You're going to die like your parents.
| Would you like to see their corpses? What's left of them | is still in our pit.
[ Strains .]
I'm gonna kill you! [ Sword Cutting Into Stone .]
| Please.
Release me.
[ Shouts .]
| [ Exhales .]
[ Thunderclap .]
Try again.
good son? I've survived | better men than you.
Prince.
Conor.
! Conor.
! | Come with me, boy.
No! He killed the Father! | [ Thunderclap .]
Get away from him.
| Listen to your friend.
He wants to save you | for another day.
| and so do I.
You see.
like her.
| I want you to live.
I want you to live forever- | to know the hell I've known.
I'll find a way to destroy you.
| I swear it! You had your chance! | The Spear of Destiny was in my hand.
It could have given me lasting peace.
| but you stole my chance to die! You'll have it again.
Longinus! | Somehow.
some way.
| I will destroy you! In the name of my people.
| you will die.
- [ Thunderclap .]
| - You'll die! ö[ Woman Singing Mournful Ballad .]
ö[ Ends .]
I failed everyone.
No.
Conor.
If I had killed Longinus | when I had the chance- - He begged me.
| - Then you would've been serving him.
Longinus would have won.
| How could it be any worse? Now, Longinus lives forever, | and the Father lays dead.
- Longinus will not live forever.
| - You didn't see what I saw.
And the Father is not gone.
Have you forgotten? | Without evil there is no good.
I know that.
but so many have died.
All you can do is persevere.
You must.
Conor.
| You're the good.
So we keep fighting.
| All of us.
"From this life to the next.
'' The Father knew his time was near.
He so much as told me so.
But he was not afraid.
| for he knew his spirit to be eternal.
We have a great challenge | ahead of us, for we face an enemy | stronger than we've ever known.
And our faith will be put to test.
| But we will not be broken.
for the power in our land | will unite us.
It was the Father's dream | for you to be one with the people.
There is no reason | that dream can't be fulfilled.
Go to them.
Go to the villages | of your enemies and your friends.
Reach out with your hearts.
and know that the Father | is with you.
