Roar s01e10 Episode Script

Be careful where you step.
| This place is crawling | with fire ants.
How do you know? | I used to come to | this island as a lad.
Father brought me.
I hated it.
| Hated those damned ants.
They'll eat you alive.
And this is where | you sent my daughter.
I sent Tully.
| Your daughter came on her own.
Well.
what business | has she got playing emissary | to a hostile tribe? They may not be so hostile.
Fergus.
| They contacted us.
remember.
It's been three days.
Maclir were never known | for their charm.
If these people want to ally | against the Romans.
we should be grateful | for their support.
You should have sent me.
| Molly and Tully haven't | got the experience.
Well.
no one's got | your experience.
Fergus.
Aye.
| [ Laughs .]
| No one's that old.
[ Laughing .]
| Come on.
We'll find them | and be home by supper.
[ Fergus .]
| Right.
In and out in no time.
[ Catlin .]
| You're sure these are Tully's tracks? [ Fergus .]
| Light step.
flat foot and on the run.
[ Conor.]
| He likes to run.
- Don't see Molly.
| - I'm sure she's fine.
Fergus.
- If anyone can take care of herself.
| it's your daughter.
| - Thanks for reminding me.
Now where'd he go? | One big toe.
and then- Boom! He's gone.
- The rain could have washed them away.
| - This clean? Fergus.
Sweet Bridget.
[ 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 .]
Stay with us.
lad.
| Stay with us! Conor.
It's all right.
Tully.
| We're here.
[ Groaning .]
| [ Catlin .]
| What is it? - What is it? | - Can you tell us what's happened to Molly? - [ Fergus .]
Do you know where she is? | - We've got to get him back | to the sanctuary.
or he'll die.
- I've got to go back for Molly.
| - I'll take him.
You two go back and find her.
We'll meet you here day after tomorrow.
| But if we're not on this beach, take off.
| You understand? Go.
Hurry.
! Molly came here to defy me, | you know.
| What do you mean? It's her nature.
| that damned independent streak.
And I wonder where | she got that from.
Hope Tully's all right.
Have you ever seen | anything like that trap? | Roman bastards.
How do you know | it was the Romans? | Because it reeked of their science.
If my daughter's | in one of those things.
I swear I'll take down | the whole bloody empire- What are you doing? Roman.
you say? Fergus! [ Grunts .]
| [ Sighs .]
So.
do you want to lead or should I? | [ Exhales Sharply .]
Doesn't make sense.
| Maclirs are proud hunters.
Spear people.
| My da used to trade with 'em.
Trade what? | Spears.
He'd bring spears.
| They'd give him meat.
Not that they were ever | too friendly about it.
I thought you said | they were isolationists.
Oh.
they are.
| Yet they trade? Only with a select few.
Took a long time | to earn their trust.
They don't sound like the types who'd | want to join forces with anybody.
Maybe they changed.
[ Fergus .]
| I knew it.
Romans.
They look comfortable.
You think the Maclir | are trading with them? What else would they | be doing here? Come on.
| They may have Molly.
Wait.
| She's my daughter.
[ Man Shouts, Indistinct .]
[ Fergus .]
| You create a diversion.
I'll sneak into the main tent.
| Why don't you create the diversion? Because she's my daughter.
| But I'm faster than you.
Since when? | Since it was my fault | she came here in the first place.
We don't know how many | soldiers are down there.
| I'm not gonna let you get- Fergus.
if you- | If you keep arguin' with me | you're gonna have to prove how fast you are.
[ Hoofbeats Approaching .]
| Think we're both gonna | have to prove how fast we are.
- [ Man .]
There they are! | - [ Fergus .]
Come on.
There they go.
| Draw your sword.
! Can't die before | we find your daughter.
[ Man .]
| There in the tree.
! Is there only two of them? Two.
on horseback.
| Right.
Much better position.
| Uh-huh.
Let's go.
We got them.
lads.
| Aye.
Come on.
Let's move.
Here we go.
Lay him out here.
! Fergus? Is it you? Megan? | Little Megan? How are you.
you old sod? You know each other? We used to | play together as kids.
Course.
she's a little | younger than I am.
but she seems to have grown up.
- Grown up to save your arse.
| - We appreciate it.
- Are you with the Maclirs? | - The same.
Are you aware | that the Romans- | Conor.
first things first.
I have a daughter now.
Megan.
She arrived on this island three days ago | to meet with your people.
and we're afraid- We're afraid that the Romans.
| who just happened to be camped on your beach.
have captured her.
[ Megan .]
| We're well aware of the Roman presence and have taken precautions.
These traps are yours? Things have gotten | a lot more dangerous since | you were here last.
Fergus.
Why don't we go back to our village? | Someone there may have | seen your daughter.
Conor? After you.
[ Chattering .]
We were told your tribe | was interested in joining | our alliance.
But if you're doing business | with Rome- | We have to eat.
Conor.
Food has gotten | very scarce here.
There was a time when | this island was rich in game.
| Not anymore.
But they can't be trusted.
| One more battalion and- Liam.
have you seen that girl | we found last night? - What girl? You never said anything- | - She's in the guest quarters.
How old is she? | What does she look like? See for yourself.
- Molly? | - Da.
What are you doing here? What's got into you.
girl? | You could have been killed.
Between the Romans | and the fire ants- Father.
| What? - You shouldn't have come.
| - Why not? Because you're right.
Fergus.
| I have grown up.
[ Owl Hoots .]
These people never had | any intention of unifying with you.
They're in with Rome.
| Romans.
- How's Tully? | - Catlin took him back to the sanctuary.
How did he end up out there? He was locked up with me | until this morning.
| Then they came and got him.
Fergus.
| you know this woman.
| What does she want? I knew Megan as a little girl.
| I don't know her now.
The Romans aren't the only ones | she's trading with.
I saw those people with | the strange marks on their arms.
Longinus's troops.
| Lots of them.
[ Groans .]
| Sweet Bridget.
If that monster's | got his claws in this island- We have to get out of here.
| I've been working on that.
You? | Well.
I'd like to leave too.
| you know.
- You have a plan? | - I don't think he wants to hear about it.
It's your escape that got us | into trouble in the first place.
Comin' here.
| playing diplomat.
Tah! "Tah!'' See? Fergus.
remember what | we did at Brikesan? Brikesan.
| Hmm.
Aye.
What happened at Brikesan? - [ Groaning .]
| - [ Loudly .]
Take that.
you lying vermin! - [ Screams .]
| - Coward! [ Grunting.
Groaning .]
You coward! | I'm going to butcher you! [ Gasps .]
| You killed him! You killed him.
| You killed him.
[ Groans .]
Quiet! Worked better at Brikesan.
[ Bird Squawks .]
All right.
| What about this? Molly can decoy | by going out through the roof.
Fergus.
| you can hoist her up and then me.
Then I'll drop her down.
and she'll move around | to the front.
Or we could | just go out this way.
Good morning.
- What do you want with us? | - If you had nothing to trade.
| you shouldn't have come.
We were told your people | wanted our alliance.
My people | came to offer support | against the Romans.
- Well.
you were misinformed.
| - What's happened to you.
Megan? I've learned about business.
- Since you've brought nothing.
| I'm afraid you're worth nothing.
| - Fine.
Let us go.
| and I promise we'll never | bother you again.
Oh.
I'm sure you're as good | as your word.
Well.
so am I.
Leave our village.
If you can last on this island | until tomorrow.
- I'll give you a boat and send you home.
| - Why not send us home now? Because your presence has created | a unique opportunity for us.
- Our products need testing.
| - "Products''? Your friend wasn't | as resilient as we'd hoped.
You sent Tully to die? | As a test? - There now.
| - Whoa.
whoa! Create superior goods.
| and you'll never go hungry.
Sweet Bridget.
To ensure that you keep moving.
| we will hunt you.
And you know | how capable we are.
Fergus.
If you stop,you'll be killed, | so I wouldn't recommend that.
Leave your weapons and go.
Now.
[ Weapons Thudding On Ground .]
How much time | will you give them? They're fit.
| They won't need much of a start.
How many traps are out there? Hundreds.
| I'm sure you'll both be | very happy with our work.
I already am.
[ Fergus .]
| Hunted like animals.
| just so she can sell her wares to the enemy.
If we can just stay alive until tomorrow.
| Catlin will be here.
Fergus,you remember | that beach at Garnagh? We buried ourselves | in the sand.
Aye.
but they'll be | watchin' the beaches.
We'll have better luck | in the trees.
| Too obvious.
[ Scoffs .]
| Does our escape artist have a better idea? It's got to be better than Brikesan.
| Look.
We need to hide.
not run.
Molly! [ Molly Screams .]
[ Screams .]
[ Screams .]
[ Gasps .]
| And you were worried about ants.
Nothing.
And location six and 1 4 | haven't been triggered yet either.
Are they all set properly? As you instructed.
Broaden out then.
Lock down the west and try | to push them further north.
And try to look happy about it.
[ Conor.]
| Done.
What do you think? Well done.
Mind if I ask | where you learned | to make such a weapon? [ Chuckles .]
| From you.
And who taught you | that every object has a use? [ Laughs .]
| You again.
Just something to bear in mind.
Unfortunately.
| you were never around | to teach me any of those things.
but I've done just fine | on my own.
Oh.
aye? What sort of weapon | have you invented? This.
What in Bridget's name is that? This is a tool.
A very powerful tool.
| [ Grunts .]
A tool.
Looks more like | a bark scraper to me.
You just said | every object has a use.
Oh.
aye.
| You can never have enough bark.
- Shh.
| -[ Man Shouting, Indistinct .]
Do you see anything? Someone's coming.
What if Conor doesn't survive? | I have all the faith | in the world in him.
What if he doesn't? | His health should not | be your concern.
Diana.
This tribe wants to impress us | with their engineering.
| Fine.
let them.
If Conor survives.
| the traps are worthless.
If he doesn't.
| we'll take hundreds of them | back to our island.
Longinus.
if he's killed.
| his people will rise up against us.
Not if he dies here.
You think I just | do this for sport? [ Fergus .]
| So that monster's behind all this.
[ Conor.]
Megan wasn't interested in unifying.
| because she wasn't the one who contacted us- | Longinus did.
Just to see us hunted? | To humiliate me- | and kill me if he could.
The man's been around for 400 years.
| That's a long time to build up a grudge.
[ Molly Panting .]
| How far are we | from this valley of yours? [ Fergus .]
| We're getting close.
| Used to hide out there as a lad.
Lots of rough ground.
| places to disappear.
Should be able to | camp there at night.
Come on.
| No.
Conor! [ Wood Creaking .]
That's not much of a product.
| [ Chuckles .]
- [ Giggles .]
| - You couldjust climb out of this one.
[ Fergus .]
| Conor.
! Hang on, boy.
Conor.
! | Quick! Here.
help me! Stay back.
Come on, lad.
| What am I supposed | to do with this? Well.
hang on.
Hold on.
Conor.
- Hang on.
lad.
| - Anytime.
Fergus.
[ Grunts .]
Thanks for droppin' in.
Watch yourself.
I'd love to help you.
[ Molly .]
| I've got it.
| [ Grunts .]
Got it? All right! [ Straining .]
| Up you go.
lad! [ Grunting .]
[ Grunts .]
| Come on! Hang on.
lass.
| You're next.
I told you to keep moving! | [ Grunts .]
- [ Molly Screams .]
| - [ Both .]
Molly! Get them! [ Grunting.
Groaning .]
Join your daughter.
[ Both Shouting .]
What have we got down there? All kinds of things.
[ Both Coughing .]
Fergus.
| Aye.
Are you all right? | No.
What do you mean.
no? Well.
as you often point out.
I'm older than you.
Well.
we're alive.
Good.
| And if we made it, Molly must have too.
Aye.
Come on.
Come on.
| [ Groans .]
What's wrong? | I told you.
| The bones aren't what they used to be.
Can you see her? Oh.
no.
Molly? Molly.
! If we're gonna get out of here.
| you'll have to help me.
Come on.
Is that the best you can do? | [ Groans .]
Come on.
old man.
[ Gasps.
Grunts .]
[ Rustling .]
Who's there? [ Man .]
| The last of the beasts.
I'm armed! | Of course you are.
[ Chuckles .]
| It's not funny.
Who are you? A digger.
| The man that got away.
- They're hunting you too? | - No.
Trying to avoid me.
[ Whispers .]
| I terrify them.
How do I know | you won't hurt me? Would a hurtful man | be a tree? Hard to tell.
I'm a tree on the top.
| a digger on the bottom.
And all this for a woman | who's crazier than I am.
- Megan? | - When the meat ran out.
they all went mad.
That's why I dig- for seeds.
- Got a boat? | - Coming.
Then we can trade.
| I'll get you to your boat | if you get me some seeds.
Deal? - Seeds? | - From your island.
[ Singsongy .]
| Only way to turn this place around.
What do ya say? Uh.
all right.
Stay close and let me | handle the traps.
[ Gasps .]
| And if you're smart.
when we reach the surface.
| you'll be a tree too.
They don't spear trees.
Come on.
[ Longinus .]
| Ready to go exploring again? [ Diana .]
| I don't like camping.
| Indulge me.
Diana.
This entire trip | is an indulgence.
A waste of time and money.
Buy a hundred traps.
| Kill a hundred savages.
For what? Our people have | a false sense of security.
When there is no road | or valley or meadow | where they feel safe.
they will be more pliant.
And much more eager | tojoin our cause.
More eager | or more vengeful? Diana.
have you ever really loved me? That's a sad question.
Have you? Well.
let's see.
Conor was willing to die | for a woman he hardly knows.
Would you do the same for me? I would if I could.
Then yes.
| I really loved you.
- You find him.
| - What? I think it should be you.
| Find him and bring him back alive.
Longinus.
there is no way | I'm going out there alone.
Take some men with you.
| Go.
I command it.
You command me? You forget who I am.
You forget who I am.
You will bring him back for both of us.
[ Fergus .]
| We've got to get out | of this damned place.
It's all right.
| Oh.
fresh air at last.
You all right? | Yeah.
| I have to sit down.
We can't stop.
| We have to find Molly.
I'm not stopping.
| I'm just sitting down.
All right.
[ Fergus .]
| Any ants? | Oh.
fine.
[ Laughs .]
All his bones are broken.
| and you're scared about the bloody ants.
[ Exhales .]
What are you doing? I'm.
uh.
finding a splint | for your leg.
That won't make me | move any faster.
I'll stay here.
| You go and find Molly.
What? I want you to go | on your own.
I'm not leaving you here.
Fergus.
| Enough! I'm not going to see you | getting killed because of me.
Go and find Molly | and get her off this island.
No.
if you're dying- | Yes.
go! Or I'll start breaking | every bone in your body! Fine.
I will find her for you.
Fergus.
For a crazy old man.
| Ow! Go.
I will be back for you.
[ Megan .]
| The trap is still engaged? If they got out.
| they didn't come this way.
Do you want me to explore | the underground? Too dark.
| Let's try one of the other exits.
[ Scraping .]
[ Scraping .]
What are you doing? | What are you doing? Saving your life.
| from the looks of it.
I was going to cut | Molly's name in me chest.
- Why? | - If I die without seein' her.
I want her | to know how much she meant to me.
- Who said you're going to die? | - I can't- I can't move.
I'm all busted up.
- Where's Conor? | - He went to look for Molly.
- Without you? | - I made him go.
Well.
you're not making me.
| The boat's here.
and you're getting on it.
Catlin.
I can't move.
| Fergus.
the boat's here.
You're just going to have | to make the great sacrifice | another day.
Now come on.
| [ Grunts .]
There's only two ways | to argue with a woman.
Neither one works.
- Is Tully all right? | - He'll be a lot better when you're home safe.
Now come on.
[ Catlin .]
| We're almost there.
Oh.
no.
| They got to the boat.
Now what are we | going to do? [ Fergus .]
| Oh, no.
Molly.
Molly.
Molly! | Fergus.
you can't yell.
They're going to know | where we are.
Molly! I can find her.
Molly! | Shh! Stubborn.
Molly! Fergus! Over here.
! Is she all right? | Oh.
oh! I think she was trying | to protect the boat.
| I'm sorry.
Molly.
Molly.
I'm so sorry.
I can't breathe! | What? Please.
You're crushing me.
You're all right! | What-What happened? Huh? | I guess I was hit.
[ Laughs .]
| I guess you were.
- How's Tully? | - Tully's fine.
Hey.
! | What are you doin'with my girl? [ Fergus .]
| Your girl? It's all right.
Cormac.
You know this man? He saved me, | helped me out of the tunnels, and protected me | from the traps.
- You're the lost tribe she sent me to look for.
| - How did you know where the traps were? I know the woman | who built them.
| You know where they all are.
I should.
| I've been dodging them long enough.
Right.
Build a raft.
I don't think Megan'll sit for that.
I'll decoy her.
| then I'll meet you at the beach.
- Now come on.
| - Where are you going? Just trust me.
Fergus.
| Build a raft.
I've got a plan.
- How are we supposed to build a raft? | - Chop trees down.
Cut logs.
Lash 'em together.
| Cut them with what? Yeah.
Oh, Da? | [ Chopping .]
How many would you like? [ Diana Sighs .]
| Slowly.
- Be careful where you step.
| -[ Twig Snaps .]
That was a twig.
My queen? Forgive me.
It is Soldier Marcus's turn | to walk point.
Keep moving.
you coward.
[ Shouts .]
[ Groans .]
[ Grunts .]
[ Yelps .]
Are they dead? I have yet to receive | my field reports.
Are they dead? Not yet.
But I am sure | that by the end of the day- I've waited long enough.
I want to see something.
Now.
[ Megan .]
| If any of the traps fail.
| you're welcome to bring them back.
That will be a very | unhappy day for you.
We're approaching | trap number 27.
[ Longinus .]
| Is it always in so many pieces? Which part would I bring back? [ Megan .]
| Is that a white flag? [ Longinus .]
| It's Diana's dress.
The cave.
After you.
[ Wood Creaking .]
Longinus.
Oh, thank goodness, Longinus.
-Now I'm impressed.
| - [ Exhales .]
- This is poetry.
| - Oh.
for God's sake.
don't move! Since you sent her to kill me.
| your love must know no bounds.
- You're talking to a man | who considers death the ultimate gift.
| - Longinus.
[ Creaking .]
[ Conor .]
| If she lets go of that rope, she's dead.
Just out of curiosity.
| what do you hope to gain by this? I want you to go home | without the traps.
Call the deal off, | and she lives.
You must think | I really love her.
Oh.
Longinus.
please! - How much time do I have to decide? | - Until her arms give out.
Then we shouldn't | have to wait too long.
[ Yelps .]
I'll take a dozen of those.
- [ Yelps .]
| - That's not our design.
[ Cormac .]
| No, it's ours.
[ Wood Creaks .]
| [ Diana Groans .]
- Nice work.
eh.
Meg? | - Who is this person? [ Diana Groaning .]
My husband.
Listen to me.
Meggy.
Your business is over.
After this fiasco.
| you couldn't sell a cane | to a blind man.
Don't listen to him.
| He's crazy.
Crazy in love | with the woman you used to be.
[ Groans .]
- What is this? | - [ Conor .]
Megan.
He has enough seeds | to fill this island with crops | to last you forever.
But he needs your people's help | to plant them.
Do that.
and you'll never go hungry- | and you'll never have to trade | with the likes of him.
We had a deal.
Longinus, I swear to God, | if you don't get me out of this- | [ Sighs .]
What's it gonna be.
Megan? | Your people don't have to starve.
[ Wood Creaking .]
Cut the rope.
What? | He's bluffing.
Go ahead.
Cut it.
No.
Deal's off.
Cut it! Deal's off? Then you cut it.
[ Wood Creaking .]
[ Screaming .]
That's another use | for my useless piece of junk.
I never said it was useless.
Well.
maybe I did.
Here.
| Oh.
good lad.
Nice work.
| My daughter made it.
Just one thing though.
| What? Those little dark things | crawling around.
What little dark things? | [ All Laughing .]
Don't worry.
old man.
| [ Groans .]
Sorry.
| According to Cormac ants are edible.
I'd sooner eat this raft.
[ Waves Crashing .]
| [ Seagull Mewing .]
