Willow (2022) s01e08 Episode Script

Our true enemy is still out there.
Airk, where are you?
You're going to need a sorcerer.
The child has revealed herself.
The legend of the Kymerian Cuirass.
Bavmorda's spirit survived.
All you have to do is submit.
She was Elora Danan once.
Authrock mora hoatha!
She isn't anymore.
Name's Madmartigan.
- You stole the Lux Arcana.
- Back from him!
Every time he chose you.
The Shattered Sea.
Where the maps end and
our final test begins.
- What's beyond the Shattered Sea?
- There's nothing.
The sea goes on forever.
Been out here a long time.
Just get me where we're going.
- And then what?
- I'll kill the witch.
You are still holding back.
You wanna defeat the Crone?
Well, go on, show me.
What are you waiting for?
Fungi yuggoth.
I was like you
once, trapped by my fears.
Forget all you think
you know. Come with me.
The city is supposed to be here.
Look around. It's over. There
is nowhere to go but back.
- You ready?
- Yes.
Guys. You're here.
This is so great.
What a wonderful treat.
- I
- Look at you. You all right?
- You okay?
- Airk.
What you must've gone through
to get here. Thank you.
Oh, my God.
I missed you so much.
God. I was so blind before.
But I see now, we
needed this time apart
Elora.
- How
- Did I know you're Elora Danan?
She told me. Well, showed me, actually.
- The Crone.
- The what?
So, you're You're one of them now?
They're not who you think
they are. Neither is she.
She is just using you
to get what she wants, Airk.
She needs Bavmorda's
blood, to raise the
To something and enslave the world.
- Harbinger. Harbinger.
- Harbinger.
- You're doing really good.
- Thanks.
She said you would say that.
That you would be stubbornly
committed to your own point of view.
- Mmm
- Where is she?
In the temple. Waiting.
She wants to talk to you.
No, thanks. I'm not
talking to the Crone.
You think I'd let
anything happen to you?
- I'm your big brother.
- By like a minute.
We really wanna help you.
We just wanna take you home.
I'm not the one who needs help.
If it puts you at ease, she said
that you're welcome to hold on
- Wait a second. Is that dad's sword?
- Yeah.
- Where did you get that?
- It's a long story.
Listen, we don't need
to talk to the Crone.
- We need to get out of here, now.
- And we will.
But frankly
- What?
- She is amazing, and fascinating.
But also, really intense.
- You wanna take this one?
- Yeah.
- Amazing and fascinating, huh?
- Yeah.
What if we refuse?
No? Hey, can't you just, like,
you know, uh, flick your wrist
and turn these guys into
minced meat or something?
Oh, yeah, yeah, the
old minced meat spell.
Then we just drag him out of here?
- Why not? It could work.
- I'm telling you,
you won't have to drag me anywhere.
You just have to listen to her
and then we'll go home, okay?
It's the only way.
Whoa!
Wait. Before we do anything
irrevocably stupid
- There's nothing to discuss, Boorman!
- No? You ever heard the phrase,
"If your paramour jumps
off the edge of the world,
wait and think for one
second before you follow her."
No. I don't think I've
ever heard that one before.
Yeah, well, it's pretty famous.
A leap of faith.
That's how you get to the
Immemorial City, right?
- It's possible.
- Then let's go.
It's also possible
they were supposed to go alone.
- That we're not meant to follow.
- See?
Wait. Why?
For Madmartigan, protecting the
world meant protecting Elora.
When he chose to fight
the Wyrm from within,
he told Allagash that his child would
shoulder that responsibility for him.
- Kit is Elora's protector.
- And who protects Kit?
I do.
For Tir Asleen, and Sorsha, and
Because you love her.
Yeah, and when you love
someone and they need you,
yes, you jump off the edge of
the world to go and get to them.
This is bigger than Airk, and the Crone.
I can feel it.
This is the beginning of a war.
And they can't win it alone.
I'm proud of you.
Yeah? What for?
You're on your way to
becoming a great sorcerer.
And an even better man.
We'll see each other again.
Ah!
Well, looks like it's just
you and me tonight, huh, Willy?
What?
'Cause we're on a Never mind.
It's just, you know, "Willow and
Boorman, the great voyage home."
Maybe we take the scenic route, stop
off at some of the finer brothe
No, sure, yeah. You wanna
get back to your Yeah.
Or we could entertain
the ludicrous prospect
that there is perhaps something bigger
worth fighting for, or whatever.
It's easy, Boorman.
All you have to do is ask yourself
what it is you really love,
then give yourself to it
for as long as you can.
For me, it's Mims.
Yeah, priorities. Mmm, tough one.
See, primarily I've always
been focused on me.
Nobody's buying it, Boorman.
Truth is, you're loyal,
dedicated, and strong.
And Madmartigan would've
Seriously. Don't.
'Cause I don't wanna start crying
and I'm gonna get all embarrassed
- Will you shut up and let me finish?
- No. Too late.
This is a bad idea.
Whoo!
Look after them.
When I finally let go of my
fear, it was like the doors swung open,
and I could see.
- What?
- Everything.
- Have you been drinking this shit?
- Do you know what it is?
- I mean, what it really is?
- Yeah,
it's, like, really bad for you.
A mother gives birth.
Her body makes milk for the child.
- Stop. Please stop that.
- It's nourishment.
It's the part of himself
that he gives to us.
Who?
The Wyrm.
Ladies. The hard part is over.
You're
the Crone?
You may be the only person in the
world who can call me that and live.
- What have you done to my brother?
- I haven't done anything to him.
You know, despite what you've
been told, I'm not the bad guy.
You tried to banish Elora
to the Thirteenth Night.
Don't pretend like you have the
faintest idea what that means.
What do you want?
We're gonna set her free.
She's the Harbinger of the Wyrm.
She's gonna awaken him and bring
about a new age of this world.
Yeah, that sounds really bad.
All I want is to offer you the
same choice that was given to us.
And no matter what we
choose, you'll let us go?
I was once where you
are now, and I was scared.
Trust me, there's
nothing to be scared of.
Uh-huh.
Could you give us a moment?
I don't like this.
What? And you think I do?
I mean, it's obviously a trap.
Obviously. Airk has always
been pretty gullible.
You know, one time I convinced him
that he had Bugenhagen's Disease,
and all of his fingers and toes
would, like, rot off if he didn't
drink large amounts of vinegar.
- Is that a real thing?
- Oh, no, no. I made it up.
- Oh.
- Girls, whenever you're ready.
Right. We're coming.
What do we do?
- I don't know. I thought you had a plan.
- I thought you would have a plan.
What
What's the choice?
Everyone's choice is their own.
Only you can know what it is.
Whoa.
That's probably it, huh?
Oi!
Did you not hear me shouting? Whoo!
- Whoa!
- Yeah.
- You guys see anyone around?
- Nope.
What about that? You see that?
Oh, terrific.
By the time the sun sets, it'll be here.
And then what, huh?
It's dark, windy, probably
the end of the world.
I guess what I'm saying is
if either of you two wanna make out
right now real quick, I'd be up for it.
So what's the plan?
We just go down there
and see what happens?
Great strategic minds
of tomorrow, right here.
What do you suggest?
Well, I already suggested
that we all kiss,
but you blew me off.
So in lieu of that
camouflage.
You said not to go into the light.
As I recall, you felt strongly.
It's okay.
I'll go alone.
Great. I'll wait here.
Mom?
- This can't be real.
- Can't it?
Don't you recognize my touch?
My voice?
My sweet, brave girl.
I'm so sorry.
I hid the truth from you
because I wanted to spare
you all this pain and loss.
I thought you deserved
a chance at happiness.
I still do.
So, what do you think?
I think it's a beautiful lie.
I guess it can be anything we want.
- It's our wedding.
- Ours?
No. No. Elora, wait.
Don't worry, they're just gonna talk.
We should, too.
Okay, now.
This is so silly. There's no one here.
Oh, they're here. They're hiding.
- From who?
- From us.
Well, if they're hiding from us,
that means they know that we're here.
In which case, who are we hiding from?
From them!
It's like you've never snuck
into an undead city before.
Okay, I'm gettin' up.
- What? No. Wait.
- Yeah. Sorry, buddy. Me too.
That's ominous.
You first.
They're in there.
I know it.
You know what? I don't
even wanna go in there.
We're running out of time!
- Hey, buddy, Graydon. Do magic.
- Right. I'm the sorcerer.
Locktwarr suporium dannthu.
Locktwarr suporium dannthu.
Locktwarr suporium dannthu.
- How's it going?
- I'm trying. It's strong magic.
Try harder.
Locktwarr suporium dannthu.
- Time's of the essence, guys.
- Hurry up, mate.
I'm trying!
Locktwarr suporium dannthu.
Open the damn door!
Oh, shit! Guys, I'm turning to stone.
It isn't easy to admit to your
daughter that you were wrong.
About what?
About lots of things.
Mostly about you.
I tried to mold you into something
that I thought you had to be,
and to what I had to be, the queen.
Responsibility is the
chain around your neck.
Weighs you down.
Some people are built for that.
But not you.
You were always meant
to forge your own path.
I knew it.
And I was wrong to
deny you your freedom.
But it's not too late for
me to give it back to you.
- What's it like to do magic?
- Huh?
- It's okay, I guess.
- Hmm.
- I'm still a beginner.
- Oh.
Can you fly?
What? No!
Can you shoot lightning
bolts out of your fingertips?
No.
I mean, I've done some stuff.
Back home, when I used to cook
sometimes I'd just get to this place
where I wasn't even thinking
about what I was doing.
Uh, my hands were just
guided by some instinct
that I couldn't name or explain.
I just always knew that it
would turn out perfectly.
- And that's what it's like with magic?
- No.
It's never been like that.
It's like I can see it.
I can see what being
good would look like.
But I just never seem to be
able to get to that place.
Maybe it's 'cause you
don't wanna be Elora Danan.
What if we could go back to
the last night in Tir Asleen?
Before I left, before you met
Willow and found out who you were,
and before all those
people died to protect you.
Yeah, what if instead we got
married and had a life together,
and all you'd be giving up
is something you never really
wanted in the first place?
You
You can't change what's
No.
But the Wyrm can.
- That's it?
- That's it.
The life you want, the life you
were meant to have, is yours.
And not in a dream, but for
real, and from this moment on.
Everything the way it was before?
If that's what you want.
And you'll be free to set off on the
great adventure that awaits you.
With whomever you choose to share it.
Kit
- Can you hear me?
- Dad?
I need you to listen.
I don't know how much time we've got.
Is that really you?
I need your help.
- Are you here? Where are you?
- I'm with you. Always.
You kinda left a while ago.
It was the hardest thing I've ever done.
But love is sacrifice.
You've gotta be willing to give up
what you want for what you believe in.
It's the only way to save Elora.
- Dad, I'm not you.
- Yes, you are.
No, really, I'm not.
All right, you're not. You're better.
You are her shield.
You are her sword.
And I am already so
proud of you. Now go.
Couldn't let it go, could you?
Where is she?
I admit, I'm disappointed.
Would've loved to have
gotten both grandkids.
Blood of the Six and all. But
some people you just can't reach.
There were others like
you who chose to defy him.
They lived just long
enough to regret it.
Take me to her. Now.
Elora's made her
choice. The right choice.
Now the great awakening has begun.
Those, like her, who embrace
his power are rising
to deliver this world
from suffering and despair.
If only they could do
the same for you, dear.
You crossed the world
to save the man you love.
And now you can.
With one simple act of love,
you can complete the circle,
cure this diseased
world of its affliction
and be joined forever in his light.
It's taken me a long time
to figure out who I am.
But I knew from the
moment that I saw you,
that there was something
special inside of you.
Remember when I told you
that it would be enough
if you just looked at me,
the way that you are right
now, for the rest of my life?
- I do.
- And it almost is.
It's almost enough.
Just that
And your kiss.
He's all yours.
And all of you
is ours.
You know what?
I don't think I'm into you anymore.
- What?
- I'm not gonna kiss him.
- Definitely not gonna marry him.
- It's too late.
- You've made the choice.
- No, I haven't.
And not you or them,
or some Wyrm is gonna make me do
something that I don't wanna do.
But consider the alternative.
Stand against us and lands will burn,
kingdoms laid to waste, lives destroyed,
and everyone you have ever known and
loved will die, starting with them.
And ending with you. For what?
Your principles?
That's just another word for rules.
More rules. We're sorceresses.
Goddesses. We make our own rules.
- Just let go, my dove.
- Ugh, I'm not your dove.
- You're being gross, and really creepy.
- I'm not being creepy.
No. You're being so creepy.
If old you could see
the new you, he'd gag.
I don't get it.
Who are you that you would
choose pain over pleasure?
The hardest road when the easiest
is laid out in front of you?
She's Elora Danan.
Last Blood of Kymeria, future
Empress, High Priestess,
Semprum Sorceress of the Nine Realms.
And you, lady, are in big trouble.
Voornath.
- Shut up!
- Lunanockt.
- You all right? Oh.
- Yeah, good. A little crusty.
- Yeah. How are you?
- I'm good.
I decided not to marry your brother.
- Good, I didn't think you should.
- Oh, really? Why?
Because he's possessed or
he's just a little naive?
Behind you.
No, no, no, no, no!
Kathoth lunanore!
You know how it ends.
You think you can change it?
You think you can defeat the Wyrm?
He's eternal, bitch.
A little help, Princess!
It's not that you don't have the power,
it's conviction you lack. Where's
Cherlindrea's little stick?
You mean this little stick?
- Hey, no, Graydon. Please, just don't.
- It's okay.
- I know what I'm doing. I can do this.
- Show me.
Y'gha'g shoggog, y'eah zenot luuthrock!
See? That's what you're missing.
Passion.
I genuinely felt how
badly he wanted to hurt me.
He put everything he had
into it. All his ache.
Desire really is the
most exquisite agony.
No. Please.
Ah
No!
What made you come back?
It's where I belong.
Standing beside you.
Now, I'm gonna kill these blokes. Go.
Where'd they go?
They're in here. Somewhere.
Whoa!
All right, next time, I am
organizing the quest. Top down.
- We have to help Elora.
- Yeah. And you're gonna need this.
- It doesn't work.
- Didn't work for me.
Didn't work for Allagash.
But it's gonna work for you.
I finally figured it out.
This isn't my story.
It's yours. You're the one.
And all you gotta do
is believe in yourself,
and you'll be unstoppable.
Now
go save us all.
What are you gonna do?
I'd like to leave this
world the way I came in.
- What?
- Butt naked and kickin' ass. Go!
Okay, boys. Who brought butter?
Avagdu.
Again!
- Airk! The Crone lied to you.
- She told me the truth!
She showed me what I could be!
You're my brother.
I'm your king!
Okay, this conversation is over.
I'm here.
- Where?
- Inside your head, dummy.
- She's too strong.
- She's not as strong as you are.
- Then why can't I beat her?
- 'Cause you're still afraid.
You know, it's taken
me a long time to learn,
it's okay to fall, to make
mistakes. I've made lots.
It's how you become a
cantankerous old sorcerer.
The trick is to embrace your
defeats as well as your victories.
You pay for both in the end.
Be decent.
Be fearless.
And know this,
wherever the adventure
leads, I'm with you.
And now, Elora Danan,
you will meet your end.
No, no, no, no. No. What
do I do? How do I help you?
- You already have.
- This wasn't supposed to happen.
- This wasn't the plan.
- This was always the plan.
Where Bavmorda failed, you will succeed.
I know it. You are the Harbinger.
And now you're ready.
- Ready for what?
- To rule.
Kit, the Lux. You have try it now.
I don't wanna hurt you.
You can't hurt me.
I'm stronger than you.
Airk, please.
I'm gonna kill you to get to her.
Wait.
We all have to give something up.
For what we believe in.
But you know what?
We both believe
that love
Is the most powerful
thing in the universe.
- What do I do?
- Talk to him.
If he can, he'll see the
light and come to you.
I know that you're in
the dark. And I know you're scared.
But I did not come all
of this way to lose you.
Airk. Airk.
You're far away right now. You're lost.
And I know it feels like
It feels like you're alone
right now but you're not.
And I've got you.
And I'm never gonna leave you.
Airk.
Airk, wake up. Airk.
Kit.
Hi.
Hi.
You're okay.
Who is that?
I want my mum.
No one's gonna know
how brave he really was.
They will.
I'm gonna tell them.
It just goes on and on till eventually
you end up back where you started.
Nah, we'll make it back.
- We always figure something out.
- Yeah.
You know, you really
have to prove it, though,
if you wanna adventure with
us. We don't mess about.
Hmm.
What?
I'm gonna take it off.
- When?
- As soon as I figure out how.
What if the Wyrm or whatever
is still down there, waiting?
It is.
I saw it.
Shouldn't we go back
and try and kill it?
Soon it'll come for us.
Now we've really pissed it off.
You don't seem too worried.
- Isn't that usually your thing? Worrying?
- No.
I've got you girls. And
soon there'll be more.
Like a snowball gathering size
and speed as it rolls downhill.
Did I ever tell you about the time
Madmartigan rolled himself
into a giant snowball?
No, what happened?
Hey. Come on.
We need you up here.
Uh
What is this?
The end.
The beginning.
The dawn of the next age of this world.
My age.
But I can't do this alone.
I need someone to help me.
To sit beside me at
the head of all tables.
And to lead the world into my light.
And, Graydon
I want you.
