All language subtitles for The Outpost s03e06_English

Mistress: Previously on
"The Outpost"...

Talon, you will love
being part of the United.

- United?
- [ screaming ]

Talon,
you should be joining us,
not fighting us.

You've killed her!

No, it's not possible.

[ grunts ]

And what brings you
all this way?

We've come to bring peace
to your village.

We'll find a way to stop
Yavalla from turning us
all into her puppets,

but we need
to do it together.

[ chanting ]
Talon! Talon! Talon!

Keep your distance.

Greetings, friends.

We're looking for
Queen Rosmund.

We believe she
and Baron Aegisford
may have passed this way.

Queen Rosmund
shared her message
of peace with us.

- We were joined with her.
- Well, that confirms it then.

This thing has already
spread throughout the Realm.

You are the traitors.

The traitors
from the Outpost.

We were warned about you.

Should I send in the Lu-Qiri
to kill them all?

Why would we do that?
They haven't done
anything wrong.

- They're possessed.
- They're people.

- We can't just massacre them.
- No, she's right.

None of them chose
to be infected by a kinj.

If we don't do something soon,
they're just gonna spread it
even further.

So we should just go around
killing everyone

unlucky enough to come
in contact with a kinj?

By the looks of things,
you'd have to kill hundreds,

if not thousands
to keep it from spreading.

Greetings, Talon.

Glad to see
you're in good health.

- I don't know you.
- If you could only experience

what it's like
to be united with so many
in complete harmony.

- I tried to share it with you.
- Yavalla.

Wonder how far away she can be
and still talk through them.

There's no distance
I can travel and not be
connected to the United.

Why are you doing this?
These people are innocent.

Their lives were
without meaning.

A never-ending cycle
of poverty,

violence,
and suffering.

Now, they only know
unity and peace.

- This is not peace.
- There's no enmity
between them

and they're happy.

Is that not
the very definition of peace?

I've been watching
Janzo and Wren.

- Janzo was right.
- [ chuckles ]

Would you pass Wren a message,
please?

Tell her I approve
her choice in mate

and I expect them both
to come and join me soon.

We're too late to stop it
from spreading.

This is already out of hand.

We should get back
to the Outpost,

set up a sanctuary
for the uninfected

until Janzo and Wren
can come up with something.

That's a bad idea, Talon.

Do you want
to take charge, Zed?

Because I didn't ask
for the job.

No, no.
People picked you to lead.

Then let me lead.

[ theme music playing ]

[ music playing ]

Postmaster!

- No one got infected out there?
- We had eyes on all.

Seems just a little risky
to let anyone back in
except for Talon and Zed.

How are you feeling today,
Garret?

- Pretty bad.
- Good.

It means you're
not infected... yet.

Send word to Gertrusha
in Aegisford.

Tell them to shut their gates.

They need to go into
complete lockdown.

Should I tell them why?

Tell them there's
a new plague.

And put out word to anyone
who can't lock down their town.

Tell them they can seek refuge
at the Outpost.

Talon, are you sure
that's wise?

Shouldn't we lock our own gates,
not let more people in?

Do we even know if everyone
who's already her is free
of the infection?

- No. No, we don't, do we?
- You both sound like Zed.

We need all the manpower
we can get.

We need to protect as many
uninfected people as we can.

Right, well,
if we're going to allow people
to take refuge here,

we need to figure out
a better way to detect
who's infected.

- So, get on that.
- Sure.

I mean, Wren and I were busy
trying to find a cure,

but I guess we can do
two things at once.

It's not like
there's just two people
down there in the labs

working morning, noon,
and night without any sleep.

I know you'll come through,
Janzo. You always do.

Speaking of which,
Yavalla says she's
been watching you.

Oh, yes. Wren and I think
she's still spying on us
through the rats.

Rats?

[ squeaking ]

Your mother's definitely
watching us through
the rats we caught.

Let her.
Look. See? There!

That's the mechanism
right there.

It reproduces itself.

And now, I bet the rat
is ready to pass it.

It's desperate for contact.

The kinj must be
compelling it,

almost like a person
addicted to drink.

Mm-hmm.
Let's see what happens.

- Amazing.
- That's it.

Start an hourglass.
I need to know exactly how long

this whole reproductive
process takes.

All right.

She was an amazing woman.

- Yeah.
- But I was frightened of her.

Oh, yeah. Me, too.
Never wanted to disappoint her.

Still don't,
just in case she's watching.

Don't need her ghost showing up
to give me a thick ear.

Mm. I'm feeling pretty useless.

- Not much to do
since her Majesty left.
- Yeah, yeah.

- Hey, do you want a job here?
- Really?

We sure could use the help
since Janzo's so busy sciencing.

Are you allowed
to offer me a job?

Sure. Mum left the place
to Janzo and me.

It's half mine.
I can do--

I can do whatever I want.

All right, I accept.

Welcome to the Nightshade.

We'll have to get you one
of Mum's barmaid outfits

so you look right for the part.

Mum used to say
dresses like that

have a way
of making for bigger tips.

- Never quite understood why.
- [ door opens ]

- I do.
- Janzo: Munt?

There you are.
What's going--

Right. Look, Munt,
I need your help, please.

I need you to go
and catch me some rats.

- Lots and lots of rats.
- Janzo... [ grunts ]

It's for science.
Chop, chop.

[ groans ]
I hate science.

Hey, you want to help me
come catch some rats?

Yeah, you do.
Come on. There.

Oh, yeah.
This will be fun.

I'm telling you, Talon.
You're making a big mistake.

You can't bring more people
in here until we know
they don't have kinjes.

Well, if they aren't acting
all happy and peaceful,
it's a pretty good tip off.

- You can sort of tell,
don't you think?
- Oh.

So you're gonna risk the safety
of everyone in this Outpost

because you can sort of tell.

Well, that's why
we're quarantining them,

to buy us a little time
so Wren and Janzo can come up

with a better way to detect
kinjes or find a cure.

Who are you?
Where are you from?

We are from Landers Mill.

We heard that Outpost
is the only safe place.

Come in.
There's food, water,
and blankets.

Take them to quarantine.

See? Not so hard to spot.

I'm immune to your kinj.

I bring a message
of peace and love.

Not to my Outpost, you don't.
Now leave.

If you won't let me kill him,
we should at least lock him up.

We're going to have a hard
enough time feeding the people
who aren't infected.

He'll just go out there
and infect more people.

Probably,
but at least this way
no one dies.

Now go on, clear off.

And if you go near
any of these people,
I'll cut you down myself.

Go.

No one let him near you.

[ crowd gasping ]

Are you all right?

Any of these people
your parents?

Here. Come with me
to the front of the line.

Talon. This is crazy.

Yes. But I didn't ask to be
making these decisions, okay?

You pushed me into it.
So if you have a better plan,
I'm listening.

There are no good choices, Zed,
just bad and worse.

So until Janzo comes up
with a better solution,

we're saving as many
uninfected people as we can.

If you'd have let me kill
the first batch like I said
when we had the chance,

then we wouldn't be
in this mess.

You're the one who forced me
to summon Yavalla to this world,

so don't be so quick
to judge my decisions now.

Ooh. Yeah, this is nice.
This is gonna be good.

I'll let you have a turn
with the net after this one.

I don't want to hog
all the fun myself.

It's all right.
You go ahead.

Take as many turns
as you like.

Oh, right.

Rats is too low an occupation
for a lady like you.

Have you tried
cleaning chamber pots?

No.

Ooh. There's another one.

Ooh, lots of rats
over here!

[ screaming ]

Looks like a female hand.

Do you think it was murder?

If you see someone walking
around with one hand

and no blood, let me know.

But otherwise, yes.

Yes, I think it was murder.

Well, what happened
to the rest of her?

- It was taken by animals?
- Could be.

You ever seen
that symbol before?

- Yes.
- What is it, Talon?

It was burnt onto a wall
in our village.

Every time they removed it,
it would reappear.

What's it a symbol for?

I don't know.

Every time
I asked my mother about it,

she'd get nervous
and change the subject.

Wonder if whoever
put it on that wall

also put it on this one?

There's at least three sets
of boot prints,

and one,
a crack in the heel.

It looks like
they were stood here

and facing this way.

You're smart with this stuff.

You learned that
from your dad the Marshal?

No. No, I'm no Wythers.

He was a great detective.

You seem to have picked up
a thing or two from him,

which is why I'm putting you
in charge of finding out
who did this.

What? No.
You-- you need my help
with the infection.

How exactly can you help
with that?

All right, point taken.

Munt, do me a favor.
Take that hand to Janzo.

Maybe he can come up
with some ideas.

That is just what Marshal
would have had me done.

I wish he were alive today
to figure this one out.

Something I said?

I don't think he likes
to be reminded of Wythers.

Brings back all his guilt.

Should we maybe
cover up this cage?

- Your mother could be watching.
- Let her.

- Hey, Mother, watch this.
- Hm? Hm?

Yeah, I don't think
she's watching us.

Um, by now there are thousands
that are infected.

I mean,
even the most brilliant mind,
mine for example,

wouldn't be able to sort
the vision from that many eyes

or even the sound
from that many ears.

She must limit
her exposure somehow.

Well, maybe she just tries
to connect to one or two members
of the hive at a time,

just the ones she needs
in that moment.

- How long has it been?
- Almost ten turns of the glass.

That's just over twice a day.

My mathematical predictions
are almost perfect.

Garret wants me
to give you a hand.

Thanks, Munt, but I don't
need a hand right now.

So, even if we say that
four people come into the t--

- [ muttering ]
- No, Munt.

Four of the infected
come into a town.

And then they then pass on
their kinj every time one
becomes infected.

- And that's 16 after a day.
- No, look.

Not now, Munt.
And then after two days, 64.

- No, the thing is--
- And after three days, well,
that's more than 250.

That's more than we can handle.
I mean, 'cause after one week--

65,536. Gods above.

That's more people than even
live in the Capital.

- [ clears throat ]
- Both: What?

- Oh!
- Someone's been murdered.

That's the victim's hand.
Garret says have a look,

- see if you can
find any clues.
- Murdered?

- Who was killed?
- I think that's what Garret
wants you to find out.

- All that's left is that hand.
- No.

No, I don't have time for this.

I'm trying to save
the bloody world!

Well, you tell that
to Garret then.

Right.
You deal with this.

I'll go back to finding a way
to kill the kinj.

Just infect some more rats.

I'll be finished by then
and then we can run
some experiments.

I never thought infecting rats

would be the less disgusting
thing to work on.

[ squeaking ]

Gods, look how eager it is

to pass the kinj on
to the others.

What?

- That's it.
- What's it?

We need a box
with a window on one side.

Wren? You are a genius.

That's what I've been trying
to tell you since we met.

This is ridiculous.

A rat doesn't know
who's infected or not.

It's actually
really quite simple.

The infected rat's
biological imperative is
to keep spreading kinjes.

And this one
is particularly ripe.

So the longer
he doesn't pass it on,
the more pain he's in.

So he's desperate to spread
the kinjes to someone

apart from those
who are already infected.

So the people he ignores
already have a kinj?

Exactly.

[ squeaking ]

[ squeaking stops ]

What's your name?

Lutza.

Get up. Get up now.

You're going to love
being United.

[ crowd screaming ]

Good work, you two.
From now on we use this device

to check every person
before letting them in.

We should check the Outpost
at least once a day.

That's how we stop it
from spreading inside.

Guess we make a few more
of these, then.

Teach the soldiers
how to use them and get them
to check these people again.

- And, Janzo?
- Hm?

Find me a cure.

Easy for her to say.

You know, if you think about it,
maybe it's not so bad.

- What?
- Having one of
Yavalla's kinjes.

I mean, the infected
seem happy and content.

What are you talking about?
They're worse than slaves.

If she wants
to make them do something,
they have no choice.

- Maybe they don't mind it.
- Well, so first you want

to kill them all,
now you want to be one of them.

I guess I'm just struggling
to understand it all, Talon.

Well, I don't want
to understand.

I want to stop her.

Hey, barmaid, more ale.

It's all right.

Oh, I like this world.

I really do.

- Since when does she work here?
- Since I hired her.

I'm boss, too, you know?

Good idea, Munt.
Could use the help around here.

- You were a good idea.
- I was?

- Yeah.
- Wren, quick question for you.

- Janzo?
- Hmm?

Have, um,
have either of you ever seen

this symbol anywhere
in the Outpost before?

No. Why? Does this have
something to do with that
murder you're investigating?

- Yeah. It was all around
the place where it happened.
- I know this symbol.

It belonged to that old cult
that the humans had
before the banishment.

They worshipped
Lu-Qiri as gods.

- Talon said
she recognized it, too.
- Makes sense.

Someone doesn't
understand something,

they just explain it away
with superstitious drivel.

I mean, that's how half
of our religions are explained.

Prime Order,
worshipping The Three?
Perfect example.

They think that
they're these gods.

We know they're just people
with kinjes in their heads.

Yeah, but how would a belief
about Lu-Qiri even exist

when they've been
gone from the Realm for,
what, hundreds of years?

Who knows?
Someone reads an old text,

then meets one of your
lovely little pets.

Mm, not pets.
More like your beasts of burden.

Oh, I do stand corrected.
Either way, wouldn't take much

to rekindle those kinds
of beliefs, would it?

I mean, speaking as a human,
Lu-Qiri? Pretty scary.

- No more than your horses are.
- A lot more than horses.

- All right?
- All right.

Janzo, have you
had a chance to examine--

Gods, scary.
So what is this? Is this--

Have you had a chance to examine
that hand that I brought you?

Oh, yes. Um, sorry.
Probably not going to be
much help, though.

She was a younger woman.
Definitely severed
from the body.

A sharp object, heavy blade.
Maybe an axe.

Oh, also,
there was a little bit
of blue dye on her wrist,

maybe from a bit of clothing.

Could that be of any help?

Maybe, actually.

I thought Janzo proved these
people aren't infected.

Why are they still quarantined?

They're not.
They just have
nowhere else to go.

Great. They're free to come
and go as they please.

Maybe do
a little blood sacrifice,
be back in time for dinner.

- Show me your wrist, please.
- So you agree with Zed?

You think I should've
just let these people
out there to be infected?

No, I-- I'm not sure, Talon.
Right? Show me your wrist.

- What are you looking for?
- Blue dye. Let me see
your wrist.

It's all we have to go on.
It was on the wrist
of the hand that we found.

- Show me your wrist.
- Look, can I just say
I hate being in charge?

I'd much rather someone else
be making the hard decisions.

I think you're doing
a damn good job.

[ gasping ]

[ grunting ]

[ muffled screaming ]

I've searched for any remnants,
attach points,

anything like that
inside this poor man's head

to seen if we can even find
an avenue to attack the kinjes.

But there's not even
the slightest sign there was
ever even a kinj in there.

Which is consistent with what
we've been finding in the rats.

We've tried several times
to cut a kinj
out of a living rat.

Just like Reb tried
to do to you, actually.

And just like yours did,
the kinj, it keeps
moving and hiding.

We end up just cutting
the whole rat apart
just to dig it out.

Which then kills it.
Once the rat dies,

the kinj expels itself and,
um, instantly dissolves.

It's like kill the rats,
kill the kinj.

Just like we've seen
in humans so far.

So the only way to stop it
is to still kill the infected.

- So far.
- Well, that's not
an acceptable solution.

I'm not killing Gwynn,
much less thousands
of innocent people.

We've already proven
that we can't remove the kinj
from a living host.

Now we just need to find out
how to kill it while
it's still in the host.

Without killing the host,
of course.

- Mm.
- So do that.

Whatever she said.

Warlita never showed up
for work last night.

I found this
in the back alley.

It's her brooch.

I'm starting to get worried.

Well, I'm sure she's fine.

Captain Spears,
a body has been found.

Oh, no.

What a relief.

Munt, a woman has died.

Yeah, but it's not Warlita.

No, it's Dunlee Page.

I'm sure she's not as happy
about this as you are.

- You knew her?
- I only met her once.

She's the stableman's
oldest daughter.

And there's our symbol again.

Why weren't there men
posted out here already?

How was I supposed to know
that they would do this again
in the same place?

Marshal Wythers
would have known that.

Yes, he would, Munt!

Yes, he would,
but my father didn't teach me
his trade before I--

It's all right.

You're doing your best.

Next time you'll have
a man here.

I'm sorry.

It's the same crack
in the heel.

He was here watching.

Garret.

These are Lu-Qiri tracks.

They stop here
and then turn back.

Garret: Talon, you said
that demons can smell blood

from miles away.

It was coming to feed
on this woman

while crack heel
stood there and watched.

They're not just
sacrificing these women.

They're feeding them
to Lu-Qiri.

Well, it can't be a Lu-Qiri
under Blackblood control.

They eat meat,
but they would never eat
humans or Blackbloods.

There must be a masterless
Lu-Qiri on the loose.

Do you think they have
Warlita?

[ music playing ]

- What are you doing?
- I don't know.

That's really the problem,
isn't it?

I mean, like you said,
I was the one that brought
Yavalla into this world.

I did it to save our people,
but now even if you agreed
to open that portal,

I wouldn't bring
the rest of them through.

- Better off where they are.
- Are you finished whining?

I need your help.
A Lu-Qiri is eating humans.

We need to find it.

Xaba.

Xaba?
Is that Yobahn's Lu-Qiri?

Since Yobahn died,
she's masterless.

Does that mean anyone
can claim her?

Yes, but no one wants to.

The best thing you could do
is line up a few ballistas
and take her down.

She's a rotten Lu-Qiri.

Her master was bad,
but she's always been vicious.

Dangerous.

She killed a child
in the Plane of Ashes.

Yobahn denied it, of course,
but we all knew who it was.

Xaba's a lost cause.

Isn't that what you told me
about that first demon I met?

Baphnoro? I tamed him.

He was wild.

Xaba was trained
to be malicious.

You can't save her, Talon.

I'm going to try.
So are you going to
help me or not?

Of course,
by talking you out of it.

I'm going with or without you.

Look, if you want
to tame that beast,

you're going to have
to be meaner and tougher
than Yobahn ever was.

- You think you can manage that?
- I'm alive and he's dead.

What do you think?

All right.
Let's go see Orrin.

Who's Orrin?

The Blackfist
who has Yobahn's ring,

the whistle
that will summon Xaba.

You're wanted for murder.

Hey, I never murdered anyone.

You've been feeding people
to Yobahn's Lu-Qiri.

What?
You must be drunker than I am.

- [ chuckles ]
- Where's the ring?

Where's the ring
that summons Yobahn's demon?

I sold it.

For a good price, I might add.

- Sold it to who?
- Don't know.

He covered his face.
It was at nighttime.
No idea who he was.

Is he really
feeding humans to Xaba?

I thought
he'd blow that whistle

and be dead before
he knew what hit him.

Guess he's more clever
than I took him for.

I'm going after Xaba.

And how do we even find her?

I'm going to track her.

You're right.
Lots of dye here.

Garret:
Look for blue dye.

Sorry, sorry.
We're looking for a woman
who was brought into here.

She's young, blonde hair.
She's the Queen's handmaiden.

[ speaking foreign language ]

Ah, um...

[ speaking foreign language ]

Talon: The tracks head up
to the forest.

How do you know
they're Xaba's?

Dried blood,

probably from that
poor girl's missing hand.

I like this.

You and I together again,

odds stacked against us,

off on an adventure.

We're not together again.

I didn't mean it like that.

[ roaring ]

- That's her.
- No kidding.

[ speaking Blackblood ]

Punish her, Talon!
It's the only thing
she'll respect!

[ speaking Blackblood ]

[ roaring ]

Next time, she'll kill you,
you know that?

She had her chance
and she didn't.

She won't kill me.

So what now?

Next time I try something
that she's probably
never seen from a master.

Kindness.

Good luck with that.

Blue dye.

Warlita's not here.

No.

But she was though.

Gods.

We're too late.

[ branches snapping ]

[ growling ]

[ speaking Blackblood ]

[ roaring ]

[ speaking Blackblood ]

[ screaming ]

[ speaking Blackblood ]

[ Xaba screeching ]

Xaba, stop. Let them go.

[ screaming ]

Take them in
to stand trial.

Munt: Warlita.

Munt.

[ sobbing ]

[ growling ]

Is she safe?

- She is now.
- How can you be so sure?

She could have killed Warlita

and all the fanatics,
but she didn't.

She controlled herself.

You know how hard
that is for a Lu-Qiri?

I can imagine.

She's bonded to me now.

It's all right.

So, what do you think?

Maybe there is a lid
for every pot.

No, beautiful girl like that

would never fall
for a lummox like Munt.

Why not?

I fell for a lummox like you.

[ music playing ]

The Capital
never looked so good.

I'm glad to be united
with you again.

[ footsteps ]

Wow.

I found this
in the closet upstairs.

Hope it's all right.

- I had to pull it in a bit.
- Oh.

You look as beautiful
as Mum did in it.

Beautiful-er.

Uh, are you sure
you're all right?

Yes, I'm fine.

After what you've been through,
you don't have to work tonight.

I'm fine!

Um, you two
better come see this.

Why are we looking
at a dead rat?

This rat?
A couple of days ago,
perfectly fit and healthy.

The whole first generation
is rapidly aging and dying.

And you think
the kinjes caused this?

Each time a kinj multiplies,
it takes life out of the host.

Rats are smaller than humans,
so the effect is more
pronounced and rapid.

What are you saying?
That this is happening
to people, too?

- Afraid so.
- The first person
to get one of these

- from Yavalla was Gwynn.
- Unfortunately.

And every time
she passes a kinj,

she loses a little more
of herself.

How long does she have
before she's like this?

She has a body mass of what?
I don't know, 100 rats?

- How long?
- The first 20 or 30 days,
she'll be wasting away.

Um, and a couple more?

She'll be dead.

Janzo, are you
any closer to a cure?

- We've been trying for days.
- We need more time, Talon.

You have three more days.

Then I'm going after Gwynn
with or without a plan.
