The Mandalorian (2019) s03e04 Episode Script

Chapter 20: The Foundling

I swear on my name and the
names of the ancestors
"I swear on my name and the
names of the ancestors"
That I shall walk the
Way of the Mand'alor
"That I shall walk the
Way of the Mand'alor"
Din Djarin claims to have
bathed in the Living Waters.
He speaks the truth.
Din Djarin, you are redeemed.
And Bo-Katan Kryze,
you too are redeemed.
But I do not walk the Way.
Did you bathe in the waters?
I did.
And have you removed your helmet since?
No.
Then you may join our covert.
Welcome, Bo-Katan of Clan Kryze.
You are one of us.
Again. Again!
Submission.
Winner.
Again. One, two, three
Put down the rocks, kid.
It's time that you learn
with the other foundlings.
Playtime's over.
I'm gonna need you to focus.
Next challenger.
Winner!
Are you sure this is a good idea?
If he is ever to rise from
foundling to apprentice,
he must learn.
Judge!
He challenges.
He is too small.
I am his ward. Proceed.
What weapon?
Let the challenged decide.
- Darts.
- Bring the training darts.
Why doesn't he wear a helmet?
He is too young to speak the Creed,
and so, too young to wear a helmet.
Then he's too young to fight.
"One does not speak unless one knows."
Is that not the Creed?
Well, I know.
Perhaps this lesson is for you, then.
The training darts.
Fighters, arm yourselves.
Don't worry.
My dad was the same way.
He's just proud of you.
You take it easy on him, kid.
Each has three darts.
You may fire the darts in any order.
Each direct hit scores one point.
A mark must be visible to score.
One round. Highest score wins.
Squeeze your fist to launch the darts.
You'll be fine.
He doesn't know how to fire darts?
He's got this. Trust me.
Ready.
Begin!
Point!
Don't look at me. Look at him.
Ready.
Begin! Point!
Grogu, I've seen what you can do.
It's okay. Show them.
Ready.
Begin!
Whoa!
Three points. Winner!
There you go.
Did you teach him that?
Not me.
"One doesn't speak unless one knows."
Great job, kid.
No blasters, it will kill the child.
Follow it to its lair.
I'm out of fuel.
It always gets away.
I kept a high altitude
and followed it to its lair.
I know how to get there.
We should muster up a hunting
party and go after him.
I scouted where it lives
and mapped the location.
There.
The nest.
It flew a long way.
I will go get him.
The mountains are too high.
If we use jetpacks, the beast will hear.
It would kill the child.
These are no higher than
the peaks of Kyrimorut.
I used to climb them in basic training.
I'll fly to the foothills, scale
the rest of the way on foot.
I'll join you.
Paz Vizsla,
enjoin the Shriek-hawk
Training team to accompany you.
I will pack extended
lariats for your launchers.
We must avoid explosives and blasters
for the safety of the foundling.
You are too young to join them.
All in good time.
Come, Grogu.
If you wish to become a Mandalorian,
there is much work to attend to.
This is the Forge.
It is the heart of Mandalorian culture.
Just as we shape the Mandalorian
steel, we shape ourselves.
We all begin as raw ore.
We refine ourselves through
trials and adversity.
The Forge can reveal weaknesses.
Get him to Kelleran!
The elevator! Get the
youngling to Kelleran! Go!
Everything's gonna be all right, kid.
We've got one fleeing
on sub-level platform 1215.
Blast them!
Over there! Stop them!
Don't let them escape!
They hit the engine. This
is gonna get a little rough.
Don't worry.
We're gonna meet up with
some friends of mine.
But hold on, it's gonna
be a bumpy landing.
Kelleran Beq?
- They're right behind me.
- What about the others?
There are no others.
Everybody out. Move it. Move it.
Take the ship, it's
fueled and ready to go.
Come on!
It is a tradition in our culture
for each to donate a small portion
of what they earn to the foundlings.
It is with these scraps of beskar
that I forged your next piece of armor.
Mandalorian steel shall keep
you safe as you grow stronger.
You will grow into this rondel as you
grow into your station, foundling Grogu.
We'll continue on foot from here.
Any closer, and it will hear the ship.
The target is on the top of this peak.
If we tuck in under this outcropping,
we sleep out of line of sight,
and climb at first light.
We will make camp.
How do you eat when
other people are around?
You don't.
When you get your food,
you go off to find a place where
you can take off your helmet.
You are the leader of the war party.
You have the honor of
staying by the fire.
This is the Way.
The raptor's lair is atop the highest peak.
Now, our hope is that
the child is still alive
so we have to make sure
not to fire on the raptor.
It will kill the foundling if attacked.
It has happened before
when it has taken others.
Our best bet is stealth.
Our jetpacks will alert
it to our presence.
Let's move.
It's not here. Let's find the kid.
I see a heat source there.
Wait until we clear the area.
He's my son.
Ragnar! Ragnar! Ragnar!
Help me!
He's alive!
Help!
Take my hand!
Are you okay?
I'm okay, Dad.
- Thank you.
- This is the Way.
This is the Way.
Come, Grogu.
Bo-Katan Kryze,
you have honored your
House and all of Mand'alor.
You have done the highest
honor of the Creed.
Saving a foundling.
This is the Way.
This is the Way.
And we have brought you
three more foundlings
in need of care and training.
Is that so?
You're in need of a repair.
Come with me.
I can replace what's missing,
but not with its modern refinements.
Shall I inlay the signet of the Nite Owl?
Would it be acceptable to wear
one pauldron of the Nite Owl
and another with the Mythosaur?
The Mythosaur belongs
to all Mandalorians.
It is always acceptable to wear.
I would like that.
What would you say if
I told you I saw one?
That you saw what?
A Mythosaur.
I would say you're very lucky.
It is a noble vision.
No, I
I mean a real one.
Beneath the Living Waters on Mand'alor.
When you choose to walk
the Way of the Mand'alor,
you will see many things.
But it was real.
This is the Way.
