Roar s01e13 Episode Script

Sweet Brigit

It's a trap.
| You think everything's a trap.
Walking into the enemy camp.
| Moving in like we're family.
We're just begging for | an arrow in the heart.
Would you rather the River People | make a pact with her? Or Patrick? She's invited all | the tribes.
you know.
| Patrick's weak.
He could turn Roman overnight.
I can just picture him.
| parading around in his little skirt | and sandals.
Bathing in olive oil.
| Mud.
What? | They bathe in mud.
Uh.
so I've heard.
With Longinus out of the way.
| Diana has no choice | but to work with us.
We just have to make sure | the rules are clear.
She can stay on the island.
| but we're in charge.
Aye? | And her soldiers? The few that are left- | They're no threat.
Trust me.
old man.
| The future's in our hands now.
[ Man .]
| Help.
! Help me, please.
! I'm trapped.
! | Where are you? Just over the rise.
That's far enough.
Friend or foe? That depends.
- You Roman? | - No! We bathe in water.
Prove it.
Look.
if you need our help.
| we'd be happy to oblige.
but- - Drop the twig.
| - I've felled bigger men than you | with this twig.
mister.
Are you always rude to people | who come to your rescue? I don't need your help.
| I was just about to escape | when I heard your voices.
[ Fergus .]
| Escape? How? Trust me.
| My power would blind you.
Well.
if you don't need us.
| we'll be on our way.
- Good-bye then.
| - Wait.
Wait! I'd rather not | draw attention to myself.
If you're really friends.
I could use a hand.
- Got a name? | - Can you keep a secret? Malachy.
Malachy the Magnificent.
Subtle.
How did you end up in here? I was running | for my life and fell.
The horses leapt over me.
| but they'll be back.
The enemy is everywhere.
- Come on.
Up you get.
| - You're sure you're not Roman? - This is how they get you.
you know.
| - Oh.
aye.
The old "human ladder in the hole'' trick.
[ Conor.]
| Come on.
[ Horse Whinnies .]
| Oh.
no! Why can't they just | leave me alone? | Who? - The enemy! | - Wait! Wait.
! You have to | help us get out.
! - Kiss the clay! | - What? Kiss the clay.
and you'll be free.
What clay? | What are you talking about? Behind you.
! You don't think he was | talking about this.
do you? You know.
we could have handled | this rescue a little differently.
He said.
| "Kiss the clay.
'' Fergus.
| You kiss it.
He could have been a sorcerer.
You ready? | Sweet Bridget.
Don't you know a charlatan | when you see one? [ Both Screaming .]
[ Coughing .]
| Big kiss.
| [ Groans .]
Fergus? | What? It was bigger than you know.
[ 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 .]
Who are you? Do you have a name? Sweet Bridget.
Uh.
what do you think.
Fergus? Well.
I think our little friend | did some nasty business.
Is she real? Looks real to me.
Can you talk? Talk? Why did that weasel say.
| "Kiss the clay''? So we'd be free.
Didn't mention | anything about her.
Better put a cover on her | before you get frisky.
Aye.
Fergus.
you don't | suppose that.
uh.
she would have been up here all along.
| and we just didn't notice? Uh.
no.
I guess that | wouldn't be possible.
Here you go.
lass.
| Keep us honest.
Sorry.
my love.
but can't have you | displaying your bounty | for the lad.
His youthful zeal | might get the better of him.
Allow me.
| You see.
Fergus.
all it takes is a bit of youthful zeal.
Sweet Bridget.
Oh.
she liked that name.
Bridget? | [ Chuckles .]
[ Chuckles .]
| Bridget.
Come on.
Bridget.
Big kiss.
[ Man .]
| Step right up.
! Good afternoon.
everyone.
| and welcome to my home.
To see so many friends, tribal.
Roman.
farmer.
warrior.
come together in peace- I am honored.
From this day forward, | all people are welcome here.
To talk.
to exchange ideas | and.
of course.
to trade.
Whether your passion be | wine, women or song, Rome is your friend.
[ Cheering .]
So, feast, enjoy all that the empire | has to offer.
And remember where it came from.
Where it came from is the mouth of a whore! [ Crowd Murmuring .]
All this garbage from the mouth of a Roman whore! | All right.
Colm.
| I think you've had enough.
[ Groans .]
Colm.
| Whore.
I'm sorry you feel that way.
Ah.
well.
your people | murdered my wife.
We have to look | to the future now.
Colm.
Yeah.
you'll be lucky | if you live that long.
Please.
I invited you here | in the spirit of unity.
Same thing Conor's | been talking about.
Colm.
All of the tribes | working together.
Conor can go to your hell! [ Murmuring .]
Get out of here.
Colm.
When you have something | worth trading.
then we'll talk.
Until then.
watch your back.
[ Horse Blusters .]
| I'm Conor of | the Confederation ofTribes.
We've come to see the queen.
| You may recognize us from | one of our many attacks.
[ Sputtering .]
[ Sputtering Continues .]
Now listen.
girl.
You can't be showing | your goods around here.
These Roman boys | haven't got our restraint.
[ Chuckles .]
There.
[ Sputtering .]
Conor.
would you please | talk to this woman? Fergus.
Bridget.
I've got some important business | to attend to.
so I'd like you to wait out here | with Uncle Fergus.
- Wait out here? | - I don't think we can take her inside.
Fergus.
My daughter's inside.
| I'm not gonna play nursemaid | to a horse impersonator.
I'm the leader.
| I have to go inside.
I won't be long.
Now.
you stay here.
[ Groans .]
Why don't we all go in? | [ Sputtering .]
What happened to you? | Took a mud bath.
Where's Diana? | Hiding.
if she's smart.
Colm threatened to kill her.
[ Fergus .]
| Who invited him? Are you going to | introduce me to your new friend? Aye.
Molly.
| this is Bridget.
She's a bit shy.
Don't look shy to me.
Hello.
Bridget.
Colm.
Care to have a dance.
girl? She doesn't dance | far as we know.
- Are you her parents? | - We don't want any trouble from you.
Colm.
Last thing we need right now | is to be fighting amongst ourselves.
No fight here.
boy.
Queen! I want him gone.
[ Sighs .]
| Oh.
Conor.
I'm glad | you could come.
I'm ready to trade now.
| What? I've found what I want.
| She's not for sale.
There are many | available women.
Colm.
I want her.
Come on.
girl.
[ Coughing .]
Well.
at least we know | she can punch.
Rough.
I like 'em rough.
Queen.
if you want to keep your head.
| you'll have this girl cleaned up | and ready for me tomorrow night.
If she's not here | when I come for her, it'll be you roasting | on a spit.
Good day.
Bridget.
- You have to leave her here.
| - You don't know what she is.
I don't care what she is! | But if that idiot doesn't | get what he wants.
he's gonna kill me.
And your happy little alliance | will go up in flames.
- This has nothing to do with the alliance.
| - He has great influence.
Conor.
Are you willing to risk war | for one stupid girl? She's not mine to give away! And if your idea of unity is | to trade in our people.
you might | as well get off this island now.
If you don't help me, | we're both gonna suffer.
Conor.
! Do you understand? [ Man .]
| My queen.
Wait until they've gone | beyond the river.
If you have to kill him.
| make it look like it was his people.
She must have been in that hole.
| and you just didn't see her.
No.
we were alone.
Except for Mr.
Magnificent.
of course.
Sorry about the dress.
It was all Molly | could come up with.
Looks very nice though.
What? ö[ Woman Singing Love Ballad .]
Aye.
I am different than you.
It's not a bad thing.
Conor? Would you bring me | some wood, please? [ Grunts .]
ö[ Ends .]
Blood.
What's for supper? When-in-doubt stew.
| "When-in-doubt''? When the pickings are slim | and I'm on my journeys.
I just throw whatever | I can find into a pot and call it | when-in-doubt stew.
Doesn't mean it tastes good, | but I like the smell.
Molly's a world traveler | as well as a Druid novice.
But who are you? That's the question.
I'll get some more wood.
Fire.
Do you know how fire | was created, Bridget? Sprites made it.
And they guarded | their secret fiercely.
leaving the rest of the world | to live in darkness.
But one day.
a man | named Meade came along and stole their fire.
And when the sprites complained.
| he cut out their tongues.
Unable to talk, | they retreated into the earth.
But maybe you know the story.
[ Snoring .]
[ Snorting .]
Aren't you going to sleep? You do sleep.
don't you? If you can't sleep.
| you can't dream.
And if you can't dream.
| there's no point in being here.
Let's try one eye at a time.
Go ahead.
Now.
if we could sleep like this.
| it would be a perfect world.
We could see what you wanted.
| and shut out what you didn't.
But since it isn't | a perfect world.
we'll just have to dream.
[ Unsheathes Knife .]
[ Grunts .]
- [ Groans .]
| - Patrick! To think I once called you a friend.
- I wasn't gonna hurt anyone.
| - What's going on? One of Diana's new guards | has paid us a visit.
He doesn't realize | what's at stake.
Fergus.
Colm's tribe is very powerful.
| If they don't join our alliance- We don't need him.
| And we don't need you.
Get out of here.
| Go and tell your queen if she | sends anyone else after us- She already has! | Her slave master and six guards | are looking for you right now.
I came to warn you.
Please, Conor.
| Just give Colm what he wants.
- We'll all be better off.
| - Will she? - You're making a mistake.
| - It won't be the first time.
If what he says is true.
| we can't afford to take | her back to the sanctuary.
We'll be putting | everyone in danger.
| Pack up.
We're leaving.
Now.
[ Molly .]
| What were you thinking, | getting in this hole? He was feeling heroic.
Fergus? - What is it? | - A stone.
Now.
there's a find.
- It has strange markings on it.
| - Let's see.
It's a rune stone.
Magic? | Can be.
Two intersecting lines.
The symbol for fire.
Do you recognize this substance? Are you going to eat it? It's volcanic.
From Vulcan Beo.
| the fire mountain.
Where is this mountain.
Da? It's by the river Balaire.
| I'll show you.
[ Horse Whinnies .]
[ Men Chattering .]
Wait.
| Bridget.
what is it? [ Horse Whinnies .]
Molly.
get her to the woods.
| She won't go without you.
Here.
take my sword.
There she is! Get her! [ All Shouting .]
Da! [ Grunting.
Groaning .]
[ Screams .]
Move and she's dead.
Conor.
We just want the girl.
[ Wind Howling .]
[ Whinnies .]
She's a demon! [ Screaming .]
[ Conor .]
| Bridget.
[ Screaming .]
- Bridget.
! | - [ Screaming .]
Fergus.
! Bridget.
! Fergus.
! Bridget.
wait! Bridget! | Let her go.
Bridget! | We'll find her.
[ Hoofbeats .]
| [ Conor .]
What can this man tell us | that we don't already know? If Molly is right | and the girl's a fire goddess- | Sprite.
"Sprite.
'' | That's a childish name.
| If she is a fire goddess- Then we should be looking for her | and not chasing down Malachy.
We did look for her.
Conor.
| All night.
This is our only hope.
He may know where she is.
And more importantly.
what she is.
This is the only place on the island | you can find rocks like these.
Doesn't mean we'll | find anything else.
| He hates it when I lead.
I'm just concerned about Bridget.
We're all concerned about her.
lad.
| That's why we're here.
Mr.
Magnificent? | Enemy approaching.
Why are we the enemy? He thinks everyone's the enemy.
| [ Conor .]
| Fergus.
What? If Malachy really is here.
| don't you think he would have | taken precautions? Like what? Well.
I'm sure he has | dogs or guards.
Or women.
Really big women.
We help you, and this is | the thanks we get? You were probably the ones | chasing me in the first place.
Chasing you? What with? | We didn't even have horses.
- You might have hidden them.
| - Where? - They could have been invisible.
| - Oh.
fine! - He's mad.
| - If this is madness.
then I'll live with it.
- And who are they? | - My protectors.
The keepers of the flame.
- Must be the cape.
| - You dare mock me? - I'll throw you in the core.
| - The core? [ Malachy .]
| For an old alchemist, | this place was magic.
A little clay, | the right rune stone- So.
this is where | Bridget came from.
- Who's Bridget? | - The girl you left behind.
Ahh! Kissed the clay.
did you? Then you know the thrill.
As you can see.
| I'm rather partial to the experience.
All of these women- Straight from the core.
Then they are sprites.
Will you stop saying that word? What did you do with yours? - She's gone.
| - Gone? Gone where? | She was hurt.
and she took off.
We came | to you to see if you could help us find her.
Oh.
no.
You shouldn't | have let that happen.
| [ Fire Roars .]
They're very gentle creatures.
but left on their own.
| they can do terrible damage.
- We noticed.
| - You have to find her | and send her back to the core.
Send her back? - You mean kill her? | - She knows what she is now.
Can't have that.
Could have a revolt on my hands.
| Could throw everything out ofbalance.
You shouldn't have been messing | with this in the first place.
They don't belong here.
Where would she go? She'd seek out | something familiar.
Something she thought | she could trust.
Fergus.
look! [ Fires Crackling .]
[ Fergus .]
Here.
lass.
| Stay with the horses.
Bridget! | Bridget.
! [ Conor .]
| We gotta find her.
Bridget! Bridget.
! No, wait.
! [ Hoofbeats Approaching .]
Do you remember me? [ Conor .]
| Bridget.
! | I was hoping I might find you here.
Bridget.
! No.
lass! Don't! - Bridget.
! | - No.
it's all right.
Come.
Come.
quickly.
Stay away from her! Bridget.
! Bri- Bridget! No! [ Together.]
| Bridget! Bridget! There.
Now you look | almost human.
Let's see.
Remember to smile.
A smile hides a thousand sins.
He's here.
Bridget? Come.
We haven't much time.
Where's the girl? Since I've upheld my end | of the bargain.
I'd like to know what | I'm going to get in return.
[ Chuckles .]
| Your life.
I'd like your assurance that | there will be no more threats and that I can | count on you as a friend.
If this girl is as good as she looks.
some of my affections | might roll your way.
Fair enough.
Bridget? Sure.
you clean up real nice.
You still like it rough.
girl? Are you going to | give it to me rough? Absolutely.
[ Groans.
Coughs .]
Rough enough for ya? I'm going to kill you.
Not today.
I'm not a piece of merchandise | to be bartered about.
I'm a woman.
| and from now on.
you're going to treat | women with respect.
Where did you get | such a smart mouth? From my Da.
That's the problem | with kids today.
No stamina.
Here.
Get ya down.
| Here you go.
It's all right.
Bridget.
| We're just going to | talk to Malachy.
He's going to tell us | how you can stay here.
and maybe how- | how you could stay with me.
It's not that far- What? Different.
| What? You can talk! Different.
| Yes.
yes! Different.
We're different.
| [ Laughs .]
Very different.
Yeah.
Different.
Come.
[ Conor .]
| Malachy? Malachy? Malachy.
are you here? That's his cape.
Malachy? [ Malachy .]
| Don't touch it.
| I've got it placed perfectly.
I want the enemy | to think I'm dead.
Come on.
We have to | get out of here.
Wait.
Where is everyone? | Gone- all of them- into the pit.
You killed them? | Not me.
They did it on their own.
| Why? Because of you | and your friends going on about them | not belonging here.
See? [ Rumbling .]
No! | Watch it.
boy.
Get any closer | and she'll jump.
What are you doing? She knows what she is now.
| You can't stop her.
! After they know what they are.
| there's no bringing 'em back.
Bridget.
Take care.
son.
| Maybe I'll see you | on the outside.
I didn't bring | you here for this.
ö[ Woman Singing Mournful Ballad .]
ö[ Ends .]
She's better off.
Conor.
She never belonged here | in the first place.
She spoke to me.
Molly.
| She- She spoke.
And you spoke to her.
You gave her something | to take back.
Something that will be | part of our land forever.
What? Your heart.
Just watch those trees that burned.
I expect by next spring.
they'll be blooming with a vengeance.
Hmm! | [ Fergus .]
| Conor? Are you sure you don't want | Colm in the alliance? I have a feeling after last night.
| he'll be a wee bit more manageable.
[ Chuckles .]
| You showed him | that good a time.
did you? We both did.
| You? Well.
I have my | romantic side too.
you know.
Oh.
aye! | A big.
bald romantic.
All right.
Fergus.
| We'll let him in.
- You can even lead the ceremony.
| - Me? Aye.
You're a born leader.
So.
where are we going? I have no idea.
