Into The Badlands (2015) s02e07 Episode Script

1 Previously on AMC's Into the Badlands" Quinn will pay for what he has done.
You tracked me down all by yourself? The other Barons would never suspect an alliance.
You want to see Veil? Do you want to see your baby? Then this is our ticket in.
You were one of them? Like you don't have secrets.
I told you Azra was real.
This is proof The Master was lying.
(GRUNTS) Why didn't I go dark? Sunny.
We need to get out of here now.
(HEART BEATING SOFTLY) (BIRDS CHIRPING) (GRUNTING) - (CURTAINS OPEN) - VEIL: Hey.
Hey, you're finally awake.
You were expecting someone else? - I - I won't take it personally.
You had a rough couple days.
We were both relieved when your fever finally broke last night.
- Both? - HENRY: Dad! Hey.
Hey, Henry.
(CHUCKLES) Be gentle with your father.
Henry? You're Henry? Who else would I be? You always said that if we had a boy, we'd name him Henry.
After your My father, yes.
Maybe you're still delirious.
Is there anything I can get you? I have everything I ever wanted right here.
ARTEMIS: (ECHOING) Sunny.
(CHUCKLES) (THEME MUSIC PLAYING) Hey.
Any change? No.
He said some stuff.
I think I heard the name Henry and then nothing.
He looks bad, Bajie.
Shame I couldn't get something stronger.
I mean, for me.
Obviously, not him.
I couldn't find any wounds, just some weird markings on his chest.
His chest? (SIGHS) Oh, shit.
M.
K.
: What? The bruises.
Cyan must've tagged him with the Five Poisons.
The what? The Five Poisons.
The Hand of the Five Poisons.
Huh? It's one of the Abbots' deadliest techniques.
What are they teaching you? So, what can we do? (SCOFFS) Nothing.
There's nothing we can do.
Look This one's already affecting his brain.
Liver, kidneys, lungs are next.
Then the heart.
(SIGHS) He'll be lucky if he lasts a day.
I just watched Ava die.
I can't let him die too.
Sunny.
Sunny, wake up.
Sunny, wake up.
Sunny.
- (CROW CAWING) - M.
K.
: Sunny, wake up.
Sunny.
Sunny.
HENRY: What's the matter, Dad? Nothing.
It's just the wind.
Hey, four fingers apart, straight lines, like I told you.
I don't want to be a farmer when I grow up.
I want to be a fighter.
Why would you want to do that? Because then, no one could mess with me.
Plus, girls like fighters.
SUNNY: Is there a girl you're trying to impress? Maybe.
Is she pretty? Her name's Artemis.
I met her when I was playing in the woods.
Ow! Ah! Sorry, kiddo.
You all right? How about this? I'll race you to the pens.
Ready? One, two, go! - Go, go, go, go, go! - (CHUCKLING) I'm gonna get you! I'm gonna get you! (PANTING) I beat you.
(GASPS) What happened to them, Dad? Something must've gotten in from the woods.
Maybe it was a wolf.
Go back to the house.
(CROWS CAWING) (INSECTS BUZZING) It's getting worse.
Yeah.
It will.
Lousy way to go.
That's it? What do you want me to say? He's gonna wake up in an hour with a big smile on his face and a spring in his step? Huh? I'm sorry to burst your sentimental bubble, my friend, but it's not gonna happen.
What, are you just gonna let him die? Let him? I was the one that warned him about the Abbots in the first place.
But he still insisted upon going.
Yeah, you're right.
To save me and he's not gonna die because of it.
(SIGHS) Now, the Abbots did this to him, so they've got to know a way to undo it.
If there is, the only one who knows is the Master and she is not the type to share her secrets.
Maybe she doesn't have to.
She's got these old scrolls in her chamber.
I bet the cure is in one of them.
(CHUCKLES) You want to go back in there? Why not? They'd never expect it.
Yeah, and with good reason, we would be insane to try.
Neither of us have our Gift anymore.
It would be like walking in with our dicks in our hands and sorry, sorry but I'm not gonna put my dick in that position.
How did Sunny hook up with an asshole like you in the first place? (MOCKING) "Oh, how did Sunny" You don't know the first thing about me, son.
So now you're angry? Yeah, maybe I am.
You know what? Maybe I'll stick you in the ground next to him.
- How about that? - No, you won't.
You're just angry because you know that this is the right thing to do.
(SCOFFS) (SNIFFLES, CLEARS THROAT) Every time I try and do the right thing, I end up tits deep in shit.
And I do not like having shitty tits.
It's at least a day's drive to the Monastery.
And to be honest, I doubt he's gonna make it that far, but Well, then shut up and let's load him in the car.
(GRUNTS) (BIRDS CALLING) VEIL: (ECHOING) Sunny? (NORMAL VOICE) Sunny? You okay? Yeah.
I, um, been thinking.
I think after what happened with the pigs, maybe we should move.
I'll build a higher fence.
Those wolves won't get in again.
(SIGHS) Hey.
We're safe here.
I'll protect you, I promise.
Dinner's ready.
Okay.
VEIL: Henry? (DOOR CLOSES, CLICKS) Will you drag him in here? Henry? Dinner's ready.
(KNOCKING ON DOOR) Just a minute.
What are you doing? HENRY: Nothing.
Let me see your hand.
What happened? I cut myself putting away the plow.
(SCOFFS) You can't even lift that thing.
What happened? Where'd you get this? My friend from the woods, Artemis, she gave it to me.
Tell me the truth.
That is the truth.
Let me go.
You're hurting me.
(SIGHS) Look, I'm sorry.
I don't want you to play with that girl in the woods anymore.
You understand? Mommy.
All right.
Fine.
I'll bite.
What is on your mind, other than our friend back there? Why'd you leave the Monastery? Why did you leave the Monastery? I found out something terrible about myself.
Around the same time I found out something terrible about the Monastery.
Your turn.
I left because of a girl, all right? She was my novice at the time.
She was a mouthy little punk, just like you.
When I found her, she was so small that I nicknamed her Flea.
Took to training like nobody's business.
Oh! Do you know what it's like having your arse kicked by a 12-year-old girl? Huh? (CHUCKLES) God! She had so much potential.
What happened to her? One day, Cyan and I, we were tracking a, uh, a Dark One through the Outlying Territories.
And when we found him, he'd been trussed up and, uh, caged by slavers.
And then I hear Flea.
And she's marched into the center of their camp and she's screaming at the slavers to release their captives.
They just laughed at her.
And the next thing I know is, is, um, she cuts her arm and her eyes go black.
And it is an absolute bloodbath.
No one survived.
Not even the people she was trying to help.
I think you can guess what happened when we got back to the Monastery.
I'm sorry.
(HUMMING) (DISTANT CLATTERING) Maryanne? The water is getting cold.
(DOOR UNLOCKS) Maryanne? (MAN YELLING INDISTINCTLY) Maryanne.
Put those things down at once! (GRUNTS) I'm done taking orders from you, Baroness.
(GRUNTS) - (PANTING) - (FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING) Baroness.
The Widow is on a warpath.
Her forces have reached our gates and our Cogs are deserting.
What about the Clippers? The ones who aren't dead are pledging their loyalty to The Widow.
We need to go, now.
I'll pack what I can, you saddle up the two best horses.
Vehicles will be too easy to track.
- Yes.
- Go.
(GASPS) - (HENRY GROANING) - Henry? It hurts, Daddy.
Let me see.
What happened? Artemis.
Artemis? Your friend? She did this? She's angry you took the sword.
Henry.
What is What happened? I I don't know.
Go and get some, uh, some hot water and clean towels.
Hey, it's gonna be okay.
It's gonna be okay.
It's gonna be okay.
Don't touch it.
(GASPS) (PANTING) (GRUNTS) Who are you? Don't you remember me? Artemis? (GAGGING) (GROANING) It's all over his chest.
Drive faster.
(ENGINE REVVING) It's not mine.
(GAGGING) (BREATHING HEAVILY) M.
K.
: Oh, come on.
Breathe.
(SIGHS) (JADE PANTING) Wait.
They've surrounded the house.
(MEN YELLING) We can still make it to the tunnels.
(UNSHEATHES SWORD) (PEOPLE GRUNTING) (BOTH GRUNTING) THE WIDOW: A for effort.
The last time I stood in this room, you were just a Baron's wife.
But you learn the game quickly, don't you, Baroness? Perhaps a little too quickly for your own good.
I thought you didn't kill women.
THE WIDOW: You're right, I don't.
But he might.
It's always good to see you, Jade.
(GRUNTS) (SIGHS) Let's boogie.
What's our plan? There's an old door, below the waterfall.
They keep it locked but the latch was pretty rusty when I was here.
Shouldn't be too hard to break.
They still eat every night at 6:00? Yeah.
Like clockwork.
All right.
Should give us 30 minutes.
(SIREN BLARING) M.
K.
: The dinner siren.
We need to hurry.
What? - Sorry, I can't go in there.
- Yeah, you can.
You have got three choices, my friend.
You can shut up and get back in the car, or you can go it alone.
The third choice, you do not want to find out about.
- Do you still wanna know why I left? - (BLOWS RASPBERRY) I killed my mother.
Same way Flea killed those Nomads and Cogs.
All this time I've been looking for her so that we could find our way back to Azra.
But then in the mirror chamber I learned the truth.
Sunny's the only other person who's cared about me, Bajie.
I can't lose him.
And I, I can't save him either.
Not without your help.
The mirror chamber.
Did the Master tell you not to trust everything you see in there? Yeah.
She also told me Azra didn't exist, so Sunny was gonna help me find it.
(CHUCKLES) How was he gonna do that? He had this compass.
And I had this book.
When we use them together, it would point us in the direction we had to go.
(SCOFFS) Book and a compass, huh? If we make it out of this alive, if I am gonna kill you.
Let's go.
Hmm? You had it all, didn't you? A brief, shiny moment.
You had everything I always dreamed of.
Yours will be the story all the little Cog girls will tell each other.
She was the one who came from the filth of the fields and And the greasy stench of the kitchen to the velvety heights of the Barony.
Only to be pushed from that pinnacle by her own ambition.
JADE: Not by my ambition.
By your blade.
If you hadn't killed your own son, none of this would have happened.
(CHUCKLES) Oh, we're quite alike, you and I.
- I am nothing like you.
- QUINN: Aren't you? We're both Cogs who rose to become Barons.
Me by the strength of my sword, and, and you Well, by deploying other weapons.
Your beauty, which beguiled me.
Your cunning, ooh! My compliments.
But you were always so pragmatic, even to the point of, of marrying my weak, traitorous son.
Why not admit it? The only difference between us is that, is that I'm honest about who I am.
JADE: You are deluded.
And I was only pragmatic in marrying you.
I loved your son.
Maybe his weakness was that he was able to love me back - in a way you never could.
- Hmm.
You be careful, Jade.
Hmm? I can make this very easy, or very painful.
That's what you do, isn't it? Deliver pain.
You have no idea what love is, what Ryder and I had, to love another person - more than you love yourself.
- Damn JADE: That's what you resent most, isn't it? That he wasn't a stone-hearted machine like you.
So go ahead, kill me.
It's what you do, Quinn.
An escort of my men will take her to the border, and then she's on her own.
Let her suffer the misery she has given to others.
Huh.
Hey.
Be nimble, yeah? In, out.
All right.
The scrolls are over here.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
I'll look for the scrolls.
I need you to look for a leather satchel about so big.
A satchel? (SIGHS) Do you wanna help Sunny? Yeah? Stop asking questions.
Come on.
No.
Needles? Bajie, there's got to be a better way.
No.
No, there isn't.
And I cannot guarantee this is gonna work either.
I've seen the Abbots use these before on one of my friends.
Better him than you, trust me.
Hey, got it! Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Whoa, what are you doing? Looking for Sunny's compass.
It's long gone.
Forget it.
Come on, we gotta go.
We gotta go.
- Come on.
- All right.
Oh, shit.
(BOTH GRUNT) (GRUNTS) Hmm.
Smells good.
(GRUNTS) (GRUNTS) Welcome home, Bajie.
(CHUCKLES) Well, this is awkward.
You're looking good.
I mean, you can't be a day over 135? MASTER: You haven't changed, Bajie.
Still hiding your failings behind jokes.
Well, I'm just, uh, I'm just trying to lighten the mood, you know? You were once my greatest hope.
Instead, you have become my bitterest disappointment.
(SIGHS) I'm sorry.
If it helps, I've disappointed a lot of people since you, old lady.
And you, M.
K.
I sent three of our best to search for you and Ava.
They found us.
Ava's dead.
And so are the others, it would seem.
I imagine Bajie had something to do with that.
You'd be a fool to trust him, M.
K.
Bajie only cares about himself.
That's why he left us.
No, I left when I realized that you were a hypocrite, pretending that you cared.
All you wanted to do was control.
(CHUCKLES) Take them.
You should know that weapon won't help you.
She's lying to you! Ask her about Tate.
Go on, ask her.
There's so much you do not know, child.
It's a pity you rejected the chance for me to teach you.
Have any ideas? (CHUCKLES) Cut the novices.
They'll attack the Abbots.
(ALL GRUNTING AND EXCLAIMING) (GRUNTS) (YELLING) (ALL GRUNTING) (ALL GRUNTING) (GRUNTING) (EXCLAIMS) M.
K.
Let's go! (INDISTINCT YELLING) (GRUNTING CONTINUES) (GRUNTING) - Come on.
- MAN: Go! (BOTH GRUNTING AND EXCLAIMING) Go, go, go! Where are you going? I'm taking Henry away from here.
Away from you.
Wh What? Why? Sunny, I don't know what's going on.
Why won't you give him that sword? What about the cuts on his back? The dead pigs.
Wolves did not line them up like that.
(ARTEMIS LAUGHS DISTANTLY) What do you want? Why are you doing this? (VEIL SCREAMS) (BREATH TREMBLING) No.
No.
No! Henry? What did you do? She wanted us to leave.
I couldn't let that happen.
What do you mean? She didn't understand.
I'm going to be just like you.
(ARTEMIS LAUGHS DISTANTLY) Where are you? Show yourself! Where's my son? What did you do to him? ARTEMIS: What did I do? You made him kill his mother.
(ARTEMIS CHUCKLES) That wasn't my fault.
It's yours.
Do you know why you can't have the life that you want? This dream? All this time, you've been so worried the threat would come from outside, but it's been inside you all along.
And now, it's in your son.
Where's Henry? He will become you, and that will be your legacy.
Stand back.
Or what? You'll kill me? You already did, don't you remember? You killed me and my brother in the same careless sword stroke.
We're nothing but black lines on your back now.
Still don't remember? Maybe this will help.
PEOPLE: (WHISPERING) Sunny.
Sunny.
Sunny.
ARTEMIS: Recognize them, Sunny? MAN: (WHISPERING) Sunny? ARTEMIS: They're all your victims.
You can't even remember their faces.
But yours was the last one they ever saw.
(GRUNTING) (GRUNTING) His tattoos, they're bleeding.
All right.
Uh, quick.
Pass me a needle.
- M.
K.
: Okay.
- BAJIE: Load it up.
Quickly.
Heart, brain, lungs, liver, kidney, that's five.
Whoa, come on! - Here, here.
- Uh, okay.
I really hope this works.
PEOPLE: (WHISPERING) Sunny.
(GROANING WEAKLY) (GRUNTING) (GRUNTING) (GRUNTING) (GRUNTING) (BAJIE GRUNTS) (GASPING) (LAUGHING) I saved your life.
Well, I mean, we saved your life.
He helped.
(BREATHING HEAVILY) (BIRDS CALLING) (EXHALES) How do you feel? - Just appreciating the day.
- (CHUCKLES) Funny how much you take for granted.
Yeah.
Well, you'll have some time to rest on the drive.
Bajie says he has a plan to get us into the wall.
(LAUGHS) What? If it weren't for him you wouldn't be alive right now.
Yeah, but I bet it wasn't his idea to go back to the Monastery.
I I couldn't lose you, too.
You're the closest thing I have to family, so Thank you.
Of course.
You did good.
- BAJIE: How's he doing? - I think he's okay.
He's resting.
Bruises are already fading.
Good.
We can soon get back to him belittling my morals and telling me I'm a useless piece of crap.
You're not a useless piece of crap.
A loud mouth piece of crap maybe, - but definitely not useless.
- (CHUCKLES) Sorry about Flea.
I'll find her one day.
I I thought she was Still a pin cushion? No.
No, I got her out.
How? Let's say I found a spiritual loophole.
Yeah.
I used my gift to bring her back.
Why do you think I can't do that shit anymore? What happened to her? Well, I freed her from the needle room and, um she ran.
She had to run, right there and then.
(CHUCKLES) I promised her I'd find her again, but no luck.
The Badlands is the only place I haven't looked.
I should check on him.
Yeah.
Mmm-hmm.
