Original subtitles

Are you telling me you can't hold down a few chicken farmers?

I've told Skye he can stay as long as he likes. Believe me, Zora, you're a

quick... You know what they are? They're dangerous monsters.

Gwen, you're approved now. Make the discards respect you.

Thank you very much.

We're going to fight, Harmony. Get used to it. We're not ready for this, and you

know it.

He's the best fighter I've ever seen. Even the best get beaten sometimes,

Shadow. What's the row about?

It'd be kind of nice if you two just get on now, I guess.

Should be a good day for the raid, eh, Shadow?

I'd better get a bit of practicing.

Find me someone to spar with.

The best one.

And no messing.

I want it to be for real.

My brother gave it to me.

We're separated.

Years ago.

When the warps came and took me.

It's all I've got left of him.

I remember the time before you served the proofs, Magda.

Your family. Your tribe.

You must not speak to me.

Come on. No one's watching.

You can talk to me.

Remembering does no good.

Get lost, kid. I'm busy.

Can an ant be a barb?

Aaron!

Can they?

What sort of stupid question is that?

It's like asking if a mouse could be... A butterfly?

No! A pig?

No! What are you on about anyway?

The ant boy. I heard him tell Skye he wanted to be a barb. I kinda like him.

you think he can?

Do you know anyone who can beat me?

What are you so worried about?

I have shadows like a mug to protect me.

I won't get a scratch.

I promise.

Pull out some sticks.

Ants will be crawling around my feet.

The barbs will take them to the forest and I'll be everybody's hero.

What if it goes wrong?

What if you make the ants and the barbs gang up again?

What are you talking about? They hate each other. Not as much as they hate us,

Max. Wait until we're ready.

Nothing is going to go wrong.

Got that?

Nothing.

Move in. Three hours, Shadow.

Don't care.

Old time.

I don't think it's from the old time. It belongs to the warps.

Me and my brother found something like this once.

In a ruined house.

We took it to the elder.

He said it was made from a thread that came neither from the earth nor an

animal's back.

He said the priest had sued for it.

In the old time.

He wouldn't touch it.

I don't put a kerf on her.

Now they make me wear it all the time.

When?

Finish everything.

Then come and find me.

I told you. Shut up. Just

shut up, okay?

What will they do?

You're right.

Remembering does no good.

It was lying in the field.

You know what that means?

It wasn't the barbs on it. It was the warps who attacked us.

We'd been tricked.

All this time.

I don't understand.

Why would they want us to think... If we were going to attack one of the tribes,

the ants or the barbs, it would be better to make sure no other tribe has

come and help them.

Omar, I think we're in danger.

Terrible danger.

Still no word of Dan?

He's gone to the barbs. I'm sure of it.

In any case, it gives us a reason to go and talk to them.

With this.

If they see that the warps are against both of us.

But what about Vhagar? Surely we must take this to her first.

Prayers will be no use against the Warps, if they can.

I know what works against Warps. Vhagar won't ignore this, Cass. She'll do the

right thing.

But if she doesn't?

What have you been saying to him, Jack?

Trying to frighten a young boy?

He's there to claim the right to join us. He admires your tribe. So what?

So I'm going to ask the tribe to reject him. And you.

Tell him to go home, incomer.

Now, before it's too late.

Then pack your bags and leave yourself while you still can.

What does he mean?

He means it's better you both go.

And if he tries to stay?

Jug will call for a test.

A proof of courage.

If he passes, he will be allowed to stay. And if he doesn't, Jack can get

thrown out.

To where?

The Forbidden Zone.

You don't know how stubborn Dan is. He'll never back down.

What else about the proof of current?

What else, Kweli?

Come on. Move!

You want to see me?

Bad discard.

I told you. We treat discard differently.

Never as equals.

But you ignore me.

The privileged must show all who are not that they must serve us.

This is my brother.

I'm thinking of my brother.

We do not talk to discards about such things.

I thought you could be one of us, but I was wrong.

I'll never do it again. Let me show you. It's too late.

You'll be taken back to the camp this evening.

They no longer belong to you. They

wouldn't dare

to attack us.

Not here in the village.

Then why did they want us to finger the bat?

The evidence is right here in front of our eyes.

Maybe it is, maybe it isn't. How would a wart badge be found in the fields?

I don't know.

Perhaps it's another barb trick.

Vega, I think we're in terrible danger.

We'll see.

Omar, you can take more ants from the fields for the defence guard.

Fagar, we need to talk to the barbs. I think we may need their help.

The barbs? Why?

We have Bray to protect us.

This is my fault.

What do you mean?

The defence guard was supposed to keep out raiding parties.

I didn't think they would try to attack us head on.

None of us fought there, Omar.

We aren't ready.

Would we ever be?

On our own?

Then you talk to our cast.

You're the one with the words.

Persuade her to meet with Zora. I'll try, Anna.

I'll try.

I'm not a scratch.

You're worried like you're a shadow about my safety.

My job is your safety.

Inside the stronghold or out.

But you prefer it while it's inside.

And you and your warriors are doing it without.

If that's what you would order, we would have a bat.

Go on, Erin.

All I heard is that he wanted to become a bat.

Dan, understand if you change your mind now, we will take you back to your

tribe. No harm will come to you. I don't want to go back.

Jag, say what you must.

What good is this to us?

A lousy ant, that's all.

He just admires you, Jag.

I thought you loved to be admired.

The incomers trespassed twice into our territory and the second time he brought

him with him.

I say we treat all strangers as spies and make an example of those who bring

them into our camp.

He wants to stay among us?

Then let him take the test and face the full penalty if he fails.

Let all the tribes know no one can claim to be a Barb without first proving

their worth.

It's for him.

Let him walk from here now.

He'll face the same as his friend.

The barbs have to know we were tracked.

I know it means they're missing where we're wrong.

But it's time to join together before it's too late.

What do you know?

Are you a prophet, Cass?

Do you see into the future?

No. No, but I do.

I've seen Bray's flying machine coming from the sky.

Landing here.

For us.

All of us.

I've seen it in my dreams.

But we have to stay together.

And keep believing.

I believe you, Vega.

But what if you and none of us leave when Bray comes?

What if the proofs have enslaved us all?

Meet with Zora.

No. You know how I feel about her. I know, but I don't understand.

They're not like us, Cass.

They're barbarians.

Side with Zora, and you may as well side with Zoot himself.

I can't do it.

I will not.

Quiet! Dan, have you decided?

I'll take the test.

It's not Dan, is it, Jazz?

It's me you want.

You've no right to speak here.

Then I claim it.

As Dan's champion.

What?

You've challenged his courage, and now I'm challenging yours.

This is my right.

Then it's you and me and Kama.

No. I told you, Skye, I don't need your help.

Jag, this isn't necessary.

None of this is necessary.

Too late.

He's called upon the tribal rules.

I accept.

He and I will put this out alone in the forest.

Then that is how it must be.

Go, Agar. Stay with the others. We're only strong together.

Together. Do it together.

They no longer belong to you.

They are discards. I told you, we treat discards differently.

I thought you could be one of us, but I was wrong.

You'll be taken back to the camp this evening.

You know where they're heading?

Don't tell him.

Please, Aaron.

It's not allowed.

Then I'll find them myself.

No, I'm supposed to.

What? Keep an eye on me.

Then you'd better show me, hadn't you?

You can't, Aaron. You can't.

You steal?

Why? This one is a thief.

You sure?

Yes. My necklace.

I saw her looking at it.

And only she knew where I hid it.

Now it's gone.

If you call her a thief again, she'll be taken to the Forbidden Zone.

If not, she can return to her duties now.

What do you want to do?

She is a thief.

You can stay, Gwen.

For now.

You've got to avoid the hidden traps.

Let me give you a demonstration.

Who set the traps?

You? Of course.

With a little help from Quali.

Though maybe I don't remember all of his.

You like to cheat, Jag.

Is that how you win your battles?

Winning's the only rule here, Incomer. And that's what I mean to do.

Your turn.

I told him the rules.

I thought so.

Was I wrong?

Jag can be so hot -headed.

Skye could have been useful to us.

But that's not all of it, is it?

Maybe not.

It's just, ever since I met Skye, I've had this feeling.

As though... What?

Like he's come for a reason.

Perhaps it's to help us.

Perhaps it's to destroy us.

You're lucky, Uncomer.

Want to give up, Uncomer?

That's okay, I'll accept your defeat.

isn't he?

The other one's mine.

Jack!

This isn't your fight.

Maybe not. I prefer the odds in this one.

I think I've worked out how you do that. You're a slow learner.

It all comes down to balance.

Experience of martial arts.

Yes.

From my experience, it's not just about balance, but center and a force from

deep within.

You must be the one they all talk about.

The leader of the privileged.

So what's it like to loop, little boy?

much for your balance.

Hey!

We'll meet again.

My brother gave it to me.

We were separated years ago.

All I've got left of him.

What's wrong?

I'm worried about this guy.

That's what.

We shouldn't have left him.

I'm sure he can take care of himself.

Hi.

Do you want to come and eat?

I'm not hungry.

Aaron told me what happened with the warps. Weren't you afraid?

Terrified.

I don't know why you want to be a bat.

But still, it'll be nice having you around.

You mean I'm in?

Should think so, from what Jack was saying.

Welcome to the tribe.

Thanks.

Who was he? That stranger?

I want to know, Shadow.

I want him found and brought in front of me.

You hear me?

Whatever it takes, I want it.
