All language subtitles for The Outpost S03E04

Mistress:
Previously on "The Outpost"...

I am Yavalla,
Prophetess of the Blackbloods.

The subjugation of the humans
at the Outpost is at an end.

- ( gasping )
- This human is dead.

Talon passed you
a sleeping death elixir
when she kissed you.

You'll have to
just wait down here
and recover in hiding.

You must go to Aegisford.
Raise an army.

The way to paradise is
somewhere at the Outpost.

- The kinj.
- This is what will
free us all.

There it is.

Don't! Let go of me!

Garret Spears is still alive.

- Yes.
- We must find him.

Yes, High Priestess.

( music playing )

- So...
- Hmm?

I have a feeling you like
this Blackblood girl.

Wren?
What's not to like about her?

She's got everything you have.
She's, um, brave and beautiful.

And strong-willed,
but she's also smart.

- Hey.
- Not that you're not smart.

You're really smart.
You're street smart,

but she's more, you know,
hmm, Janzo smart.

- My queen.
- ( indistinct chatter )

As you were.
No need to stand on ceremony.

Please continue celebrating
your new freedom.

Gods, am I glad to see you two.

Janzo,
a pint of your finest ale.

- Yes, Your Majesty.
- Isn't life wonderful?

It's definitely better,
but it's a far cry
from wonderful.

Janzo, don't be so negative.

- You know,
you should be proud.
- Proud of what?

Well, the Priestess
says if it weren't
for the two of you,

she wouldn't be able to spread
all this beautiful peace
she's been bringing our people.

Gwynn, you all right?

Yes. Why?

It's just you don't
seem yourself.

- Your Majesty, um...
- Mm?

...are you sure
you haven't been drinking
something already?

Maybe using some herbs?

( chuckles )
No. Why?

Mm, you seem a little,
um, intoxicated.

I am intoxicated, Janzo.

I'm intoxicated with life!

Look. Look at the wonderful
friends that I have.

Talon, um, could I talk to you
for a minute alone?

Sure.

Everything all right?

I told you,
it couldn't be better.

I was just thinking,
now that we're at peace,

Garret could come out
of hiding.

I don't think
that's a good idea.

I mean,
the Blackfist still
see him as a threat.

They'll want him dead.

Mm. Well, then I want
to go and see him.

- Where is he?
- He's safe.

- Talon, do you not trust me?
- Yeah, of course.

Then tell me,
where is Garret Spears?

Then tell me,
where is Garret Spears?

If you go to him,
you have to be careful
you're not followed.

Of course. Where is he?

Of course. Where is he?

He's in the sewers

where the Mistress used to
have her colipsum farm.

You know where that is?

- Yes.
- I know where that is.

( theme music playing )

( music playing )

( indistinct chatter )

So glad that you're safe.

And you, too, nephew.

Thank you, Auntie Gertie.

Um, but I have some bad news.

What is it, Munt?

I'm sorry to tell you,
but your sister has passed.

She died a hero in my arms,

stabbed during the battle.

Um, I brought you her pipe
as a keepsake.

I'm sorry for your loss,
nephew.

You may keep that.
I don't smoke.

Tobin, you must tell me
everything that's happened
at the Outpost

- since I've been here
at Aegisford.
- There's no time for that.

All you need to know is
that Rosmund and the Outpost

have been taken hostage
by Blackbloods.

- Oh, dear.
- I've come to gather my army.

Well, that's gonna be difficult.

Most of your men died
or were injured

fighting the Prime Order.

Your army is almost
entirely depleted.

- How many do we have?
- Maybe a hundred.

- You were supposed
to be rebuilding.
- I tried.

I recruited the few women
willing to fight.

Beyond them, all that's left
is old men and children.

Does that mean we can't
go back and save everyone?

Oh, shut up, Munt.

You know, you really sound
like your sister sometimes.

Why don't you go get
something to eat, big guy?

- Over there.
- Yeah.

Tell them I'm with you.

Yeah.

I could eat.

- Tobin.
- Falista.

- What are you up to?
- Nothing.

Falista heard you were home
and begged to see you.

I did. I begged.

And what about Lord Relman,
your husband?

He died. He was an old man.

So you see, she's inherited
all of Lord Relman's
wealth and lands.

Ah, and now she's free
to wed again.

- Indeed.
- Gertrusha, I'm betrothed.

I understand you were
unsuccessful in your quest
to marry the queen.

Only delayed.

Well, now I'm back
in your life, Tobin.

I've known you
since we were children.

You'll change your mind.

Remember those?

- I was doing some thinking.
- Mm-hmm? About what?

Well, Mother is talking
about humans and Blackbloods
living together in peace.

- Mm.
- Which means that the two
species will be interacting

- a lot more closely.
- Yes.

So I was wondering
if there was any, you know,

biological, epidemiological,
or chemical problems with that.

Not sure I'm following.

Well, humans and Blackbloods
have never cohabited

for any amount of time,
you know, that I'm aware of.

What if they have
a physiological reaction
to each other?

Hm. I've been around Talon
for quite some time now.

No reaction.
Besides, Blackbloods and humans
are almost identical species.

- Well, our ears are different.
- Mm, and your blood, too.

And obviously those
with kinjes are different,

but then they're different
to everybody, aren't they?

So, uh, the point is,
those are the only differences.

Are they? I mean,
are our insides the same?

Do we have the same organs?

Mm, pretty much exactly.

Same, uh, brain, heart, liver,

kidney, stomach, intestine.

What about
reproductive organs?
Are they the same?

Yeah, um, yes, I think so.

I wonder, strictly
scientifically speaking,
of course,

what if, say, a male human

and a female Blackblood
were to--

I don't know.
I mean, I know what you mean,

I just don't know the answer,
scientifically speaking.

Right.

I kissed Talon once.
She's a Blackblood.

That's as far as it went.
There was no adverse effect.

I mean, I don't really
think she was kissing me

with the intent of it
going beyond that, you know?

I'm going to stop talking now.

You're cute
when you get nervous.

Nervous? I'm not ner--
me, nervous?

I'm not nervous.
Are you nervous?

What's there to be
nervous about?

Yeah, time for a refill.

May I have a moment?

Come in.

- I've been thinking.
- Always dangerous.

You came back to get
an army to save Rosmund,

but you have no army
to speak of.

And here is
the important thing,

Falista has a large intact army
within range of the Outpost.

- How large?
- At least 2,000 strong.

I can only guess
what she wants in return
to loan me that army.

Oh, you-- you can be sure
she won't loan it to you.

She'll want to merge it
with yours as one.

As is the norm when, um,
two nobles marry.

You want me to marry Falista?

You were the one
who wanted me
to marry the queen.

Yes, you're right, I did.

But I see no scenario in which
case that can happen now.

We take the best option
before us, Tobin.

This isn't just
a business arrangement
for me, Gertrusha.

I love Rosmund. I won't do it.

Would it be so bad?

It wasn't so long ago
that Falista was
the love of your life.

Falista was the love
of my childhood.

Rosmund is
the love of my life.

Gwynn really isn't acting
like herself.

I wish you'd let me go
talk to her.

She'd tell me things
she won't tell anyone else.

No. The Blackfist would
kill you at first sight.

Why? If things are so peaceful
up there as you say.

Mm?

You were executed for
killing one of their own.

If you show up alive,
they'll kill you
for sure this time.

Oh, let them try.

Come on, Garret.

Even if you could
get past the Blackfist,

their Lu-Qiri would kill you.

Besides,
I prefer you alive.

Since when?

Since I found out
how good of a kisser you are.

( door opens, closes )

( grunting )

- What do you want?
- Yavalla would like to meet
your human friend.

How does she know I'm alive?

Yavalla knows all.

Now come peacefully

and no one will be hurt.

- What does she want?
- To welcome him
into the United.

Yeah, I don't know what
that means. Do you?

- Nope.
- Then it's not going to happen.

Our orders are to bring you
back alive or dead.

Then that's really
not going to happen.

Might I suggest
that you leave peacefully,

so we don't
have to kill these two?

Is something funny?

You have bad taste in hostages.

You took the only two of us
who aren't Blackfists.

And why does that matter?

It matters because
we don't value their lives

any more than we do yours.

( grunting )

How did they know
I was alive?

You exposed him.

You used to love him.

Well, hold on, Talon.
Exposed who?

You sent Blackbloods
to kill Garret.

What? I would never.

You and Janzo
were the only ones
who knew where he was,

and I know Janzo
didn't say anything.

Well, neither did I.

Then why were you so insistent
that I tell you where he was?

Because I wanted to go
and see him.

To thank him.
Maybe bring him some food.

I would certainly never do
anything to hurt him.

Then how did they find out
where he was?

I don't know.

Maybe one of the guards
overheard us.

- Are you all right?
- Mm.

Just a headache.

( ghostly whispering )

How dare you come in here
and accuse me of revealing
Garret's whereabouts?

The man I have loved
all my life?

How dare you
come in here and accuse me

of revealing
Garret's whereabouts?

The man that I have loved
all my life?

- Get out.
- Get out!

- What is wrong with you, Gwynn?
- Get out!

( ghostly whispering )

It's just me.

What are you doing here?

Trying to remind you
of old times.

Remember when
I used to sneak in here
when we were teenagers?

I had to pay a guard in gold
for his silence.

So many special moments in
my life happened in this room.

In our lives.

You mean like
the last time you were here,

when you told me
you were marrying Old Relman?

I had no choice.
My father promised me
to Lord Relman.

You should have disobeyed.

I was only a teenager.
And a woman.

I couldn't run away
and go win fortune and glory.

Disobeying my father
wasn't an option for me.

Your father didn't care
about your happiness.

He only cared about
Relman's wealth.

That may be true,
but now both men
are in their grave,

and I've managed
to inherit all of it.

I'm sorry, Falista.

I didn't know
about your father.

I hated them both.

You were the only man
who ever really cared about me.

- I'm sorry, Falista.
- Stop saying you're sorry.

The point is all that is yours
and all that is mine
could be ours to share.

I have all I need.

From what I hear,
you need my army.

Maybe if this were
another time and place.

But I can't, Falista.

I'm betrothed
to another woman.

Queen Rosmund?

I don't believe
you're in love with her.

You just want to be king.

It started out that way.

But now it's real.

Please.

You're making
the wrong choice, Tobin.

Mm.

( knocking )

Knock, knock.

I was told
you wanted to see me.

Leave us.

And what may I do
for my Queen?

Oh, Sammy.

We're childhood friends.

You saved my life in battle.

There's no need
to stand on ceremony.

Please, sit. Eat.

Oh.

You know, if I recall...

...you once admitted
that you were in love with me.

Yes, when we were children.

As my oldest friend
in the world,

I wanted to give you something.

I'm so glad you could
join the United.

- As am I.
- Now go.

Spread my gift to others.

( music playing )

The craftsmanship on this box
is really, uh,

quite fascinating.

You have got an amazing array
of instruments down here.

Thank you.
Made most of them myself.

I guess you're just
very good with your hands.

Hmm, I am,

even if I do say so myself.

You know what?
I think we should do

that scientific experiment
we were talking about.

Mm-hmm.
What experiment is that then?

You know, the one we were
talking about earlier?

About what would happen
if a human and a Blackblood

- were to...
- Oh.

I mean, it would be
strictly for science.

Mm-hmm.
Only for science.

- And it wouldn't mean
anything beyond that.
- No. No, nothing.

Just furthering our combined
knowledge of the species.

Exactly.

- Hmm.
- Um...

- ( muttering )
- This is going to be
really interesting.

I love science.

I understand you wish
to see me, Tobin.

- Yes.
- Gertrusha, would you mind
giving us some privacy?

Gertrusha's aware
of my proposal.

- She may stay.
- Proposal?

Yes.

I need an army,

and it seems like
you have one at the ready.

So, I would like to propose...

a payment for
the use of your army.

- A payment?
- Yes.

So that's what our
relationship has become,
a transaction?

Tobin,
I am richer than you are.

I have no interest
in your money.

My only interest is in you.

Even if we were both dirt poor,

I would still love you.

I have done since
we were little kids.

I'm sorry, Falista.

I'm sorry, Tobin,

because the only way
you can have my army
is through marriage.

But I'll only be
marrying you for your army.

Not because I--

not because I love you.

I know.

And you still want it?

Time makes love grow.

And you'll be with me,
not Rosmund.

And I'm confident
that your old feelings for me
will return in time.

I'm sorry, Falista.
I-- I just don't believe
that would ever happen.

I love Rosmund.

If your feelings are really
that strong for your queen

and you truly wish
to save her,

the only way you can do that
is to give her up.

Hmm. How very ironic.

What?

Well, I remember when
you used that exact same bait

to try and win Rosmund's hand.

- It didn't work on her.
- Is it going to work on you?

( music playing )

( indistinct chatter )

You're really
a bigwig here, eh?

I'm not sure I deserve
their respect these days.

Sure you do.
You're about to become king.

- It's beginning to look
like that won't happen.
- Why not?

Because if I don't raise an army
to go back and save Rosmund,

the Blackfist
will probably kill her.

But the only way I can
raise an army fast enough

is if I marry Falista.

Seems like neither of them
is good choices.

- Tell me about it.
- So if you marry Falista,
you save the queen.

That seems like
the most important thing.

You're right.

Rosmund's survival is more
important than my happiness.

You know what, Munt?
You're more astute than most
of us give you credit for.

- What does "astute" mean?
- Rosmund will hate me,

but at least she'll be alive.

Did I say that?

Hello, Talon.

What do you want?

Oh, my dear,

I had thought we were
long past this animus.

I'm busy.

Preparing to fight somebody?

Better to be prepared.

Talon, it's time I passed on
some wisdom to you.

More lies about my father?

No.

Truth about everything.

( ghostly whispering )

What in the gods?

Talon, you will love
being part of the United.

- United?
- Give me your hands, please.

- No.
- Talon!

Shh, shh, shh. Shh.

Your kinj doesn't do
what you said, does it?

No, it does not.

( ghostly whispering )

( gasps )

I-- I don't understand.

A kinj won't work on someone
who already has one.

( grunts )

Shh, shh.

( ghostly whispering )

Is it true your kinj
does not work on Talon?

Yes.

What have you not
told me this before?

It never came up.

Why? Priestess?

What does your kinj do?

Must I repeat myself?

It takes us to paradise.

Then why haven't we gone?

Zed.

You were right.

I have a confession.

I was wrong.

- About what?
- The paradise we seek,

it does not lie
in another realm.

It is right here
inside ourselves.

- I don't understand.
- But you will.

You will understand in time.

Be patient.

You have done your part.

All you have to do now
is watch with wonder

as I spread peace.

You do trust me,
don't you, Zed?

Implicitly, Priestess.

- Janzo.
- Nothing.

Wasn't doing anything
down there.

- Yavalla's kinj reproduces.
- Reproduce? No.

No, that weren't really--
wasn't our goal.

We were just trying to,
um, experiment.

What are you
talking about, Janzo?

What are you
talking about, Talon?

Yavalla's kinj
doesn't do what she said.

Or maybe it does,
but the one thing I do know
it does is reproduce.

- How do you know?
- Because I saw her kinj

split into two
right before my eyes.

And then she tried
to pass me one,
but my kinj blocked it.

Mm.

( groaning )

( moaning )

( panting )

What do you want, human?

I just-- I just want to pass
some knowledge to you.

Explain yourself.

( ghostly whispering )

Welcome to the United.

- Garret, what are you doing
out of the sewers?
- Doesn't matter.

Look, I just saw Sammy
grab this Blackblood woman,

and he was sweaty and pale
like he was sick.

And I swear to you, Janzo,
I swear Sammy had--

- A kinj.
- Two, actually.

And he passed one to--
how did you know that?

That means others
can spread it.

I thought it
was just Yavalla.

Wait, sorry,
so Yavalla's kinj

doesn't open a portal
to a new place?

I'm not sure what it does.

The only think I am sure of
is that it spreads.

Then we have to
get to Gwynn and protect her
from getting one.

We might be too late.

Gwynn's the one who asked me
where you were right before

the Blackbloods came
to kill you.

No. No, Gwynn would
never give me up.

- What if she had no choice?
- What do you mean?

If she's spreading
all of these kinjes,

then there must be a reason.

- Something for Yavalla to use.
- Like what?

Like a hive.
Maybe it connects all of
the stingfly brains together.

- Is that even possible?
- Oh, yes.

Oh, yes, there's many
examples in nature.

There's, um, there's stingflies
and-- and waju ants.

It will enable Yavalla
to control anyone who has
one of her kinjes.

And what does that mean?
That she can see what they see?

And hear what they hear?

I don't know. Maybe.

Right. If that's true,
it means we cannot trust
anyone outside this room.

Not until we know for sure
that they do not have one of
those things in their heads.

Which means there may be
nobody we can trust but us.

Well,
there is one other person.

Marriage is a promise

between two people
who love each other,

two people who trust
each other,

- and two people--
- Minister, if you could do
an abbreviated version?

I have much to attend to.

As you wish,
Lord Aegisford.

We are gathered here today
beneath the gods

to join this man
and this woman in marriage.

Lady Relman,

do you promise
before the gods

that no action or no person,

only death can end
this marriage?

I do.

And do you, Lord Aegisford,

promise before the gods

that no action or no person,

only death can end
this marriage?

( murmuring )

I do.

Then I pronounce you
husband and wife.

Right. You may now have
your wedding present.

Our army awaits
your orders, husband.

- Now go save your queen.
- Our queen.

Yes, well,

go save her
and come back to me.

Just remember the vow
you made before the gods

and all of these witnesses.

( music playing )

So I'm supposed
to believe she's, what,

spreading kinjes
all over the Outpost?

Yes, and she lied
to all of us.

Yavalla is our Priestess.

She always speaks the truth.

Why hasn't she opened
the portal to paradise?

She told me it doesn't do that.
She said it spreads peace.

- Yeah, like a disease.
- What you're saying is heresy.

Yavalla's good.
The embodiment of peace.

When everyone else
was falling apart,

she alone kept us going
in the Plane of Ashes.

Let him go, Zed.

Tell me again
why we can trust him.

Because he has a kinj.
She can't infect him.

Yes, but obviously
she's already
indoctrinated him.

- Just explain it to him, Janzo.
- Yes, please do.

- Explain it to me.
- Fine.

Do you even know how
stingfly hives work?

What does that
have to do with Yavalla?

It's like all the stingfly
brains are connected to
the queen stingfly.

It's like they all think
with one big, combined brain.

And?

And I think Yavalla
is the queen stingfly.

How would that even work?

One kinj splits into two
and then is passed to someone.

And then that one splits again
and so on and so on.

- It's exponential.
- And what possible purpose
would that serve?

That's just the question
that I asked myself,

and I came to the conclusion

I think Yavalla wants
to control everyone.

You humans have
an amazing imagination.

- I'm not human.
- And I especially don't
appreciate the disrespect

towards our Priestess
from you, Talon.

Now if you'll excuse me,
I have duties to attend to.

You are not going anywhere.

What are you doing, Garret?

Garret, you're dead.

Looks like you've
seen a ghost, Zed.

I am. I saw him dead
with my own eyes.

- His heart stopped.
- Oh, I can assure you,

Garret Spears is very much
alive and well.

Now, have a seat

and hear us out.

You wanted to see me,
Mother?

Wren, my dear child,
come here.

I just wanted to let you know
how very proud I am of you.

You have given me
the key to paradise.

Yes.

Well, considering you were

prepared to leave me
down there to die,

I think you owe me
an apology.

You're right.

I do.

- Come closer.
- You've never apologized
in your life.

Why are you acting
so differently?

I don't know what you mean.

Wren, give your mother a hug.

A hug?

That's another thing
you never do.

What does your kinj do?

I told you.

It unites our people
and takes us all to paradise.

- Show me.
- As you wish.

( ghostly whispering )

What is it doing?
How did you get another one?

Mother, what's it doing?

I am giving you
the power, my love.

What power?
I don't want it.

Mother, let me go.
Let me go!

- No!
- ( gasps )

- Janzo!
- Wren?

- Janzo.
- Wren. What's wrong?

- Something's wrong.
- What?

She might be trying
to pass him the kinj.

- Janzo, get away from her!
- What are you doing?

Talon, please,
if she already had
her mother's kinj,

it would have migrated into me.

- Wait, you know about that?
- Are you sure?

- Please. What?
- Mother has two kinjes.

Two. She tried to put
one of them in me.

Wait. Yavalla?

What are you doing here?

Wait, wait, wait.
He works for Mother.

- He might have
one of her kinjes.
- He doesn't.

- How do you know that?
- Because he's immune,
just like I am.

Then it's true.
Yavalla's passing kinjes
to other people.

- Yes.
- So you believe her,
but you wouldn't believe us.

How do you know
these kinjes are bad?

I mean, maybe they only
make people happy or peaceful.

She tried to
force it on me, Zed.

Does that sound like
a happy or peaceful thing?

Sammy did the same thing
with the Blackblood
he passed his kinj to.

This can't be right.

- ( horn blowing )
- Now what?

An army approaches.

( music playing )

Yavalla:
Who is that?

It's Tobin.

My betrothed
has come to save me.

You do not need saving.

I know.

Go to him.

Give him the gift.

Talon, where are you going?

She's going to infect him
with one of those things.

We need him.

Rosmund, you're free.

You came back.

You're my hero.

But, Tobin,
you can lay down your arms.

Yavalla and I
are now at peace.

You are?

But I'm so glad
you brought your army.

Soon, yours
and Yavalla's together
can retake the capital

and rid this world
of The Three.

And, Tobin,
we can finally be married

and have everything
we ever wanted.

( ghostly whispering )

- Talon!
- I have to stop her.

It's too late!

The only thing
you'll do now is expose us.

( theme music playing )
