1 Previously on AMC's "Into the Badlands" Master is a liar.
Sometimes, a novice's gift has to be cleansed.
- M.
K.
: I'm getting the hell out of here.
- AVA: They'll catch you.
- You're outnumbered and unarmed.
- We gotta go.
- Let's go! - (ENGINE REVS) THE WIDOW: You're the only reason that I'm still alive.
Align or die.
I am making an alliance with Quinn.
Veil! (BABY CRIES) LYDIA: My son is dead.
I get to kill Quinn.
(GRINDING) (BREATHING HEAVILY) (GRUNTS) (GASPING) (BREATHING HEAVILY) Hello, Lydia.
(THEME MUSIC PLAYING) BAJIE: We need a healer! (MAN COUGHING) SUNNY: What's wrong with them? Gaspers.
No? You don't get out much, do you? It's poor man's opium.
DOC CLOUD: Not too poor, I hope.
Are you the healer? Depends what ails you, and what you have to trade.
She told us to come here.
Said you were a friend.
Bring her inside.
Right away.
(PANTING) (SOBS) (WHISPERS) Hey.
Hey.
Hey, look.
Didn't I tell you? - Hmm? - (HENRY MOANS) Didn't I tell you? Look how big and bright - (EXHALES) - (HENRY CRIES) Shh, shh.
Hey.
(HENRY CRIES) DECLAN: She's close.
- Right here on the other side.
- (GASPS) (HENRY CRIES) She's close.
(HENRY CRYING) - (HENRY CRYING) - (WHISPERS) Hey.
(HENRY WHINES) (HENRY CRYING SOFTLY) Shh.
Ah.
You came to kill me.
No, I came to avenge my son.
Our son.
His death hurt me more than anyone.
Well, then at least some good came from it.
(FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING) Did you find Veil? DECLAN: We're still looking.
Then don't return without them.
It's treacherous for a woman and child to be all alone in the woods.
(LYDIA CHUCKLES) Another pretty young thing has abandoned you? Oh, when are you gonna learn, old man? They'll never love you no matter how hard you try to make them.
You were never one for honeyed words.
You always spoke your truth, no matter how foul.
Maybe that's why you were Baron of two territories before you cast me aside.
- Hmm.
- Now look at you.
Lord of nothing.
And yet you came back to me.
Hmm? Only to put a dagger through your heart.
(EXHALES) Do it.
Ryder hesitated when I gave him the chance.
- (GROANS) - (BREATH TREMBLING) Oh.
Yeah, this is why I loved you first.
Hmm? You were never afraid to take what you want.
(LYDIA WHIMPERING) Yeah.
- (EXHALING HEAVILY) - (LYDIA'S BREATH TREMBLING) (GASPING) She's gonna live.
(PANTING) Amelia tells me I got you to thank.
Anything you need, it's yours.
We need fuel.
And the fastest route to the Wall's checkpoint.
The Wall? (SCOFFS) No one goes through the checkpoint unless they're in chains.
But you're welcome to any gas I got left.
With night coming on, it'll be pitch black out there.
And you ain't going anywhere till morning.
(DOC CLOUD CHUCKLES) I'm the reason why she got cut.
Why'd you tell me something like that? You want to get me all riled up? Smack you in the face? Tell you what a bad man you really are? Well, maybe you're not a good man.
Maybe there are no good men.
But I've seen a lot of bad ones.
And trust me, son You ain't that bad.
Odessa! Why aren't you training with the others? And why did you want me to meet you? I'm not staying here.
I heard the rumors.
Your Baron's making an alliance with Quinn.
Who told you that? (EXHALES) I belonged to that man for seven years.
My father died in his poppy fields.
If The Widow's with him, then she's no different than all the rest.
- Oh, yes, she is.
- Why? Because she lets you call her "Mother" instead of "Master"? I've been traded from one Baron to another since I was old enough to walk.
And trust me, they're all the same.
So you can call your Baron whatever you like.
She still makes girls like us go out and die for her, doesn't she? (SCOFFS) You're wrong.
(GASPS) I call The Widow "Mother" because she gave me life.
I was property too once.
A house cog for The Widow's husband.
And every night after she went to sleep, he would knock on my door.
He could have had any Doll on Wall Street, but he didn't want them.
"You can't pay a Doll to love you," he said.
Not like his little Tilda.
That was the worst part.
Having to say those words, while he panted like a dog on top of me.
"I love you, Baron.
" One time, I forgot to say it.
He made sure I never forgot ever, ever again.
So, I stole a bread knife from the kitchen.
I sat on my bed that night with the knife, waiting to plunge it into my heart the moment I heard him knock.
(SNIFFLES) I waited.
And I waited But the knock never came.
The next morning, The Widow asked me to forgive her for not killing him sooner.
That was the kindest thing that anyone had ever done for me.
That was the first time I said "I love you" to anyone and meant it.
(SIGHS) Okay.
I'll stay.
But not for The Widow.
(GASPS) WALDO: Tilda.
(GASPS) Widow's looking for you.
(SIGHS) Waldo, wait up.
- Back there with Odessa, it's - Cut the shit.
Look, I don't care who you wick.
But don't you forget what I told you about Sunny.
Don't you let some crush cloud your good judgment, because that kind of thing can get you killed.
And I was just starting to like you.
Almost.
Look.
More runaways.
I don't know where we're gonna put them.
We're running out of space.
(HENRY CRYING) Veil? Is that (HENRY WHIMPERING) Is Sunny with you? Is M.
K.
? I need to see The Widow.
(CREAKING) (GRUNTS) (GASPING) (M.
K.
GASPING) You thieving little shit.
No one steals from me.
(SCOFFS) You're afraid of a little blood? Please.
Please, I'm sorry.
(LAUGHS) You will be.
(M.
K.
GASPING) M.
K.
Ava.
The Abbots are gonna come after us.
We need to move.
I can't imagine what Quinn has put you through.
WALDO: But you'll be safe here with us now.
Both you and Sunny's boy.
I promise.
Thank you.
Heard you were the one who was gonna help us get out of the Badlands.
Um, well, that didn't work out too well, did it? Sorry.
THE WIDOW: Perhaps I could help you find him.
But first I need a favor.
Do you think you could show me where Quinn kept you? I'm not asking you to go anywhere near there again.
I just I need to make sure he doesn't hurt anyone else.
Yeah (STAMMERS) I think so.
(SIGHS) Would you do me a favor and get something out of that drawer? M.
K.
stole that from me.
I I didn't know.
THE WIDOW: That boy is always full of surprises.
Were you able to translate any of the text? No.
No, I've never seen a language like this before.
Try again.
It's important.
Might even help us win this war.
We do need food and rest.
Maybe we could figure out where the hell we're going.
No, we need to keep moving.
The Abbots have a device that can track your Gift.
Not if I don't have my Gift anymore.
Ava, look at my face.
- Why didn't I go dark? - I don't know.
Maybe it had something to do with the mirror chamber.
What did you see in there? We should go.
Hmm.
(CHUCKLES) (COUGHS) Hmm.
(EXHALES) Bajie, my boy, you were born at the wrong time.
Mmm.
(CAR APPROACHING) Hey.
We need to get out of here right now! Is it the Mechs? Much worse.
You get the car and I'll meet you out back.
(BEEPING) The boy's close.
(BEEPING CONTINUES) DURY: Signal's coming from down the hall.
Shit! Shit! Shit! (MAN COUGHING) (BEEPING CONTINUES) Lost it again.
Boy should be right here.
Signal's clean again.
RAMONA: Must have been a malfunction.
Signal's coming from due west of here.
Let's go.
(GASPING) SUNNY: You know who they are, don't you? - What? - Who are they? Oh, I don't know.
- Come on! - All right! All right.
They're Abbots.
They are single-minded and crazy and they are very dangerous.
- Give me the keys.
- What did I just tell you? They have my friend.
A boy.
Well, we'll get you another boy.
Just forget about him.
How do you know so much about them? I'll tell you in the car.
Come on.
Come on.
I'm not going to the Wall without that boy.
Why won't you listen to me? Bajie.
I'm asking you for your help.
(EXHALES) I I can't.
Anything but that.
I just I just can't do it.
I can't.
Sunny Sunny.
Hey, hey! - Sunny.
- (ENGINE STARTS) DECLAN: Baron.
It's The Widow.
She seems to have found us.
Oh Put a team together.
What do you think they were celebrating? No idea.
The Old World had a lot of strange rituals.
Do you think they knew it was coming? Who? The people who built this place.
Do you think they knew it was all gonna end? Master says that nothing ever truly ends.
"The whole world is an endless cycle of rebirths.
" What's wrong? I don't have a Master anymore.
I don't have anything.
What if this is all a mistake? My whole life, I've believed in one thing.
Now, I don't even know what I'm supposed to be.
What about your family? I don't even remember my real parents.
There's worse things than not remembering.
What do you mean? You really wanna know what I saw in those mirrors? I saw my mom.
I held her in my arms as she died.
(WHISPERS) I killed her.
I killed her, Ava.
The Master says those visions can't always be trusted.
Master's wrong.
I could feel it.
I know what I did.
(GRUNTS) I requested you come alone with no weapons.
Just like the conclave, hmm? And you clipped one of my guards.
Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk.
(GRUNTS) THE WIDOW: Now we're even.
Hmm? Tell me, how did you find my bunker? WALDO: With due respect, you're not as clever as you think.
You never were.
You tracked me down all by yourself, did you? You're not bad for an old cripple.
Maybe if you'd listened to me once in a while, you wouldn't be living like a roach in a hole.
I'd keep a very close eye on this one if I was you.
Now What do you want? Same as you do.
(INHALES) The other Barons dead.
But I can't do it alone, neither can you.
But together The other Barons would never suspect an alliance.
And when it's just the two of us left standing? Then I expect you'll try to kill me before I kill you.
(CHUCKLING) Do we have a deal? A moment alone with you first.
Just to hammer out the details.
Hmm (GRUNTS) I'm impressed, Minerva.
It's a bold proposition.
But first I need Veil and her boy.
I don't know what you mean.
Well, Waldo did not find me himself.
I promise, no harm will come to either of them.
QUINN: You just You just give me what's mine, and I'll agree to your confederacy.
I can't give you Veil.
- (WHISPERS) I can't.
- Oh.
Well, that's disappointing.
I'll give you a little more time to reconsider.
But, baby, don't wait too long.
I'd hate for you to watch your precious Butterflies get their wings clipped when the other Barons come.
(WHISPERS) And come they will.
Bye for now.
(GASPS) (WHISPERS) Azra.
Ava.
Look.
I told you Azra was real.
This place must be hundreds of years old.
Maybe more.
This is proof the Master was lying to us.
We can find Azra.
We can leave these Abbots and the Badlands for good.
Start over.
(KNOCKING) Someone's here.
(KNOCKING) (ELECTRICITY CRACKLING) ("JINGLE BELLS" PLAYING) (BEEPING) (BEEPING SURGES) DURY: The boy is close.
We can make it through here.
(GASPING) - (GASPS) Sunny! - You okay? Yeah.
Stop! It's all right.
We need to get out of here, now.
(DOOR OPENS) (BEEPING SURGES) Too late.
(BOTH GRUNTING) (ALL GRUNTING) Cut yourself.
It's our only chance.
I can't.
It doesn't work anymore.
Mine does.
(GRUNTS) (BOTH GRUNTING) (YELLS) (GROANS) (GROANS) - (GRUNTS) - (GROANS) (TIRES SQUEALING) (GRUNTS) Ava? Ava (BAJIE EXHALES) (GROANS) Bajie? Hello, brother.
Brother You know, I've always wanted to drive this truck.
You were one of them? In another life.
(SCOFFS) Like you don't have secrets? (GRUNTS) (GRUNTING) - You've gotten slow.
- Yes, that's true.
You don't need to rub it in, though.
And you lost your Gift.
I still remember how to do this.
(GRUNTS) (STRAINING) This isn't gonna last long.
So get up and help me kick this asshole's asshole.
(GASPS) Finish me.
Any more luck with that book? No.
Not yet.
It's a pity.
(INHALES) I offered you protection once.
But you repaid my kindness by trying to turn Tilda against me I want to forgive you, Veil.
I'd been searching for a reason to, but I have to do what's best for my girls.
My conscience is clear.
(BREATH TREMBLING) What have you done? If you really think that I'm so evil, then maybe you'll be safer with somebody who truly cares about you.
It's time for you and Henry to come home.
Ava, just stay awake.
(SHIVERING) I've got you.
You're gonna be all right.
(WHISPERS) I'm scared.
There's nothing to be afraid of.
But But if the Master is wrong If there is no rebirth? What if Everything just No! Don't do it.
(CRYING) M.
K (GASPS) (GRUNTING) Sunny? Sunny? (SUNNY GROANING) Sunny? BAJIE: Sunny! - (SUNNY GASPING) - (HEART THUMPING)
