Previously, on
"The Outpost"...

- Where are you going?
- I'm going to meet the gods.

Prepare the way.

- Unlock the Skevikor.
- Skevikor?

- I know the word, Janzo.
- What?

It means
"the end of the world."

You're a fugitive,
so you need to leave

the Outpost and never return.

- Whoa, easy.
- Luna.

Talon and I are tracking Two.
What is Vikka doing with Two?

- My body is weak.
- I am honored to serve you.

Rise.

What in the gods is that thing?

- I think you just said it.
- What? A god?

Two just healed her.

Never heard of a god
that needs healing.

So that's why
Two came here.

We are being watched.

More that way.

That hole there.

Go! I'm right behind you.
I'll make Vikka hold them off.

Zed!

Zed, watch out!

- Take him.
- Zed!

Move.

Zed!

Is that thing
out there doing that?

It's the lump on her forehead.

*THE OUTPOST*
Season 04 Episode 05

Episode Title: "They Bleed Black Blood"
Aired on: August 12, 2021.

So, Falista is forcing you to figure
this out under the threat of death.

Yes.

And what exactly does
she want you to figure out?

Oh, you know, just the simple,

age-old conundrum of
how to unlock a Skevikor.

- What's a "Sevikor"?
- Skevikor.

It means "the end of the world"
in Yindrian.

Well, how do you unlock
the end of the world?

Exactly. I can't make heads
or tails of it, Garret.

I mean, what the hell
is a Skevikor anyway, huh?

How do we unlock it?
Is it a door?

Is it another box?
Is it just an idea?

I don't know, Janzo, but
there's usually an element of truth

in the ancient stories,
so, please.

It's apocalyptic mumbo-jumbo
is what it is.

We should just
make something up.

And hope it matches whatever
the voice in Falista's head is saying?

Because something
is talking to Falista.

"Skevikor" is not a word that she
would just come up with herself.

So, please, eyes on the page,
otherwise it will be

both of our necks
on the chopping block.

Tobin would never
permit Falista to execute you

just because
you can't solve a puzzle.

Don't kid yourself, Commander.

Falista seems to be all in
for these so-called gods.

Tobin is deeply and madly
in love with her.

Just as I am with my dung beetle,
and you are with Talon.

Right. I'll talk to Tobin.

He's helped us out
a couple of times recently.

I think he's still on our side.

Good luck with that.

In the meantime, Wren and I
will dive back into these texts.

Oh, I'm sorry Janzo. I'm supposed
to be back up at the barracks

- teaching the children.
- Blackblood children?

- How are they?
- Wild animals, which is why I must go.

Go, go. I'll just stay here
and be frustrated.

Thank you for being
so understanding.

- I love you.
- Mm-hmm.

As soon as this book
got promising,

the moment it got interesting,

nothing but blank pages
in the middle.

- What blank pages?
- These. Look.

These aren't blank, Janzo.

Garret, are these pages
or are they not

as blank as the daily
expression on your face?

Thanks for that,
and, yes, they're blank.

See? Maybe this pregnancy
is affecting your eyesight

because these, my dear,
are very much blank pages.

Well, maybe my pregnancy is affecting
your brain because I can see very well,

thank you very much.
Give me that here.

- Told you so.
- Janzo, there are writings

and drawings on these pages,
loads of them.

No, there aren't, Wren.

Garret and I
can't both be crazy.

Well, neither am I.

Tell you what,
I will write down what I see,

and then you can
tell me what you think.

All right.

"These words of wisdom given
only to a High Prie..."

These texts must be written by some
means that only you can see, Wren.

- But how?
- Maybe it's some inherited ability

passed down from High
Priestess to High Priestess?

- Well, I don't know.
- What's it say?

I mean, it would explain
exactly why it's so important

that succession remain
in the family bloodline,

because, well, there's
something very different

about your family bloodline,
isn't there?

Wren, you were quite literally
born to be high priestess.

What's it say?

"These words of wisdom given
only to the High Priestess

come directly from the god
who walked amongst men."

I hear the assassin that tried
to kill Falista escaped.

That sort of thing
happens a lot around here.

I'll have to talk
to the gate marshal.

She's not going to show her face

and make this
a problem for me, I hope.

No, I'm sure whoever
helped her escape

made it very clear
that she doesn't come back.

Good, because Falista grows
more troubled by the day.

She's become obsessed
with the gods.

It's all she talks about
since she's been

seeing the visions
and hearing the voices.

You have to keep her
under control, Tobin.

If she keeps using her gods
to justify wielding

that awful kinj against
innocent people,

someone will do
something to stop her.

- Are you threatening my wife?
- No, I just...

No. I'm trying to impress upon
you that you need to stop her.

Spears, above all else,

no matter what she does,
she's still my wife.

She's still the woman
I've loved since I was a child.

- I'm always going to protect her.
- It's not her, Tobin.

It's the red kinj,
and it is evil.

Now, you want to protect her,
the only way to do that

is to get that thing out of her.

And how do you
propose I do that?

I can't just take it from her.

No, she has to give it
up willingly, so talk to her.

Convince her,
because somewhere inside

is the Falista who loves you
and would do anything for you.

Talon!
Help me.

I can't move my legs.

Okay.

Are you all right?

Not sure yet.

- Anything broken?
- Don't think so.

Just need to get
some movement back.

I need to find Zed.

We should run away together.

What?

Just me and you.

Let's leave this place and
escape out into the wilderness.

We can build a little
farmhouse and raise a family.

Why?

And what do you know
about farming anyway?

I could be a farmer.

We have everything
we ever dreamed of.

- Not everything.
- Tobin, you're king.

- What more could you want?
- I want you.

I want the Falista
I fell in love with.

- She's right here.
- No. You've changed.

You're not her anymore.

I don't know
if it's the red kinj

or your newfound
religious beliefs.

We can't just walk away
from our duties.

The gods have chosen us.

Falista, I want you,
not all of this.

They can take my kingdom,
my power, and my money.

Just let me have you
all to myself.

What are you asking?

Give up your kinj.
Give it someone else.

You're asking me
to just give away my power?

I'll gladly give up mine, too.

Let them be someone
else's problems.

I'll trade everything we have

so I can live
a peaceful life with you.

No. I can't.

I won't betray the gods,
not even for you.

Don't ever ask that of me again.

I don't want to
have to lock you away

to protect you from yourself.

All clear?

Come on.

Let's find out
where they went.

These are the markings
from my visions.

I saw that creature
and this exact symbol.

- Zed and Falista saw it, too.
- That's nice.

It was also on Falista's shrine

when she was praying
to the gods.

Is that creature one of the
gods she's been praying to?

I'm not sure I believe
in gods, but look at this.

Now there's something
I can believe in.

We're supposed to be
saving the world.

You're supposed to be
saving the world, not me.

I'm going to get rich.

I'm going after Zed.
You coming or not?

Not. Zed's probably
dead anyway.

Well, they carried him off,
which makes me think they need him alive.

- Wishful thinking.
- Fine.

You would just
slow me down anyway.

It's all just a bunch
of mystic gibberish, isn't it?

But these symbols,
I've seen them before.

Hm? They are familiar.

I just can't
work out where from.

I swear
I've seen them somewhere.

I need to sleep.

Yes. Yes, you do.
Come on.

That baby needs to grow.
Let's give her a rest.

We can pick this up
in the morning.

There we go.

All right.

The puzzle room
under the Outpost.

- What?
- The symbols.

Gods, that's it.
They're on all the doors down there.

Wren, you're a genius.

Does this mean that
the Skevikor thing is real?

The way most
religious nonsense is real.

The word "Skevikor"
was probably just a way

to describe something
that people who wrote

all of this at the time
didn't understand.

Bad news for us is it's probably
something underneath the Outpost.

Well, the last thing we
found there was Yavalla's kinj,

and that really almost was
the end of the world.

This Skevikor thing
sounds so much worse.

How can we now even responsibly
share this information with Falista?

Because Falista will
kill us if we don't?

Maybe we should die,
or at least I should.

Bite your tongue.

Well, I'm the only one
who can read these texts,

so maybe I'm the only one
who can lead her there.

And need I remind you that
it's not just you and I that will die,

but also our unborn child, and we
don't even know what's down there.

Well, it can't be good, can it?

Who's to say these gods don't
know everything already, huh?

I mean, they could just
go down there and unlock

whatever this Skevikor thing is.

We wouldn't be able to stop them
because Falista would've already killed us.

- Yes, you do have a point.
- I always do.

The more we know, the
better chance we have to stop it.

Janzo, we could be
destroying the world.

Hm, or we could be
discovering the means to save it.

Do you know
how to tie laces, Munt?

Sorry, King Tobin.

- Munt, just lace it.
- Yeah. Sorry, King Tobin.

King. That's a joke.

I'm just a husband to Falista,
who calls all the shots.

Correct that. Some voice in
her head is calling all the shots.

Well, she's the woman
in your life now.

When it comes to them, I always
follow the advice of my mum.

"Don't argue with me, boy, eh?

I'll knock your
block off, won't I?"

Yeah, I got plenty of
that advice from Gertrusha.

Yeah, I learned young
it's best to always follow mum

even if I thought
she was doing a bad thing.

It's the only way I could be sure
to be at her side to keep her safe.

As usual, that's...

- that's really good advice, Munt.
- It is?

Yeah, I have to go
along with Falista

so she trusts me.

That's the only way I can stay
close to her and protect her.

I said all that?

Yes, you bloody did,
and it was good advice.

Yeah.

Um, Tobin, since I done
give you some good advice,

- maybe you could do the same for me?
- Sure. What is it?

I know you're a man of the world

and you've done pretty good
with the ladies

and you've...
you know a lot of women.

Ah, this is about a lady, huh?

- No, no, no.
- Is it about a lady, Munt?

Huh?

It's about something.
It was, uh...

- Warlita.
- How did you know?

It's been pretty obvious, Munt.

- I have?
- Yeah.

It's just that, you know,
she's so beautiful,

and she's so clever, and I've
started to fancy her quite a bit.

The problem is mum said that I'm as
dumb as a bag of rocks and uglier, too.

That's not true.
I've seen uglier rocks.

Here's the thing.

- Yeah?
- You're a bit of a brute, Munt,

and Warlita,
she's a fancy lady, eh?

And she's used to
waiting queens.

And although
she's not a princess,

she expects to be
wooed like one.

Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Wooed?

Yeah, like lure her
into your clutches.

- Ah, like with that boar!
- No, no.

- Munt, no.
- No. No.

- Nothing like the boar.
- No.

- Not like that.
- No.

Just a gentle kindness.

Oh, yeah.

Okay, just...

Ah. Take her to dinner.

- Oh.
- Fine food, fine wine,

expensive gifts, romance.

- That's the path to her heart.
- Romance.

- Yeah.
- Thank you, Tobin.

Maybe I should go alone.

Last time we went down there,
it wasn't exactly a picnic, was it?

Well, last time every puzzle
required both of us to solve it.

All right.

But the first sign of danger,
you're out of there.

- Oh, Janzo, watch the...
- Aah!

Every bloody time.

A little sympathy would be nice.

So, we are looking for...
thank you.

We're looking for
an empty hourglass, death,

a broken stone, and the
hero Belator, all in that order.

Right. You search for the keys,
I'll search for the symbol.

Oh, of course.
Of course, yeah.

How did it go with Falista?

She's not going to give up the
kinj, Spears, not for anything.

Then it'll destroy her.

Look what
it's already done, Tobin.

- She's a tyrant.
- She's the queen!

She's being corrupted,
violent deed by violent deed.

Soon she'll be
no better

than the monsters who wielded
that kinj before her.

You cannot stand by and watch her
destroy everything that Gwynn built.

You think that's what
I'm doing, standing by?

I saved you.
I saved your little friend.

I killed Three.
I'm doing what I can.

I know you are, Tobin,
but it's not enough.

- Falista has to be stopped.
- So what are you saying?

You're going to oppose her?

If you won't stop her,
I'll have no other choice.

Spears, do not
make me your enemy.

Give me more time.

You do whatever it takes.

You take the hourglass
and the broken stone.

I will take death
and the hero Belator.

We're not going to be cooked
in an oven again, are we?

Oh, no, we disabled that particular
trap last time we were here.

- So, no. No oven.
- Something worse then.

I'm just hoping
they don't try to stop us

from getting
to the Skevikor thing,

place, whatever it is.

Here's hoping. All right.

Hourglass.

Hourglass done.

Death.

Done.

- Broken stone.
- Hm. Anything horrible happening yet?

- Nothing.
- Right.

Hero Belator.

Janzo!

Janzo, are you all right?

It's always something, isn't it?

It seems to have
broken your nose.

What? First this room
wants to burn off my arm,

then it wants to break
my pretty little... aah!

There's a handsome nose.
All better.

What do you think is down there?

The end of the world?

Huh.

It's exceptional workmanship.

Is it stone or...

I don't know.

- What is this place?
- I don't know.

Huh.

There seems to be an even larger
chamber beyond these arches.

Wait, wait, wait, Janzo!

We're on the edge of an abyss.

- Huh.
- Six... the seven gods.

Again, seven gods.

Huh. This is interesting.

- What is it?
- I'm not sure.

It feels like some sort of, um,

mechanical component
to this altar.

Mm-hmm, but for what?

I'm guessing you stick in

an appropriately shaped device,

like a key for example,

give it a turn,

and...
something will happen.

Do we want something to happen?

- Probably not.
- "Unlock the Skevikor."

What if Skevikor is a thing
and not an event,

like this altar?

And to unlock the Skevikor,
you need a key.

- Uh-huh.
- Have a look around.

It might be near
this altar somewhere.

Is everything ready?

Yes. Everything is perfect.

The sea urchins
are stuffed with crab.

The pigeons are
stuffed with eggs,

and the olives
are stuffed with cheese.

Why is everything stuffed?

- Well, you wanted it fancy.
- Oh.

- This food is fit for a king.
- Well, if she don't like it,

I'll stuff you
with every last bit of it.

Not in the mouth either.

Your lady, she has
never tasted such food.

She will be like
soft clay in your hand.

- Is that good?
- Oh, yes.

I'll make you proud, mum.

Warlita.

- You look...
- And that is a very interesting hat.

Oh, yeah. This is, um...

it's the latest fashion, yeah,

so I'm told.

Oh! Sit, please.

Please. Yeah.

Sit. Yeah.

Sorry! Sorry. Sorry.

It's all right.

Sorry.

Sorry. This is, um...
this is pine sap ale.

It was mum's favorite.

Some for you and then for me.

Yeah, it's a strong flavor.
It'll put hair on your chest.

Not on your chest.
More hair on my chest.

Not that you...
I've never seen your chest.

I don't know if there's hair.
Never looked.

I'm not afraid if there is.
Never seen it.

I've... you know.

Very interesting flavor.

The chef has prepared the
finest delicacies from the Capital.

- Chef?
- Yes. That was for him.

And then he...
and then he comes. Yeah.

What do you do with it?

- You eat it.
- Yeah. Yeah.

- Yeah.
- Not like that.

You don't eat it like that.

Oh! Oh!

Your mouth is bleeding.

- I can fix it.
- No, I should go.

No, no, no. There's stuffed
birds and stuffed fruits.

We have lots of things
that are stuffed.

We can stuff more.
We can stuff everything.

My dress is going to ruin.

- I'm sorry, Munt.
- No, no, no.

No.

You.

Bend over.

Vikka.

Take all the life you can hold.

Tera, my love, you will
have all your strength again.

Vikka! No!

Vikka!

At last, I live again.

You have done well, human.

I am honored to serve you.

Long have The Three
looked forward to the...

Go home, Janya,
and rise again.

Janya's soul is free.

We must go to our sister,

as her soul
will awaken her soon.

But first, our brother
Golu cries for release.

Only I have the power
to set him free.

- Nice timing.
- Do you really think I would let you die,

bastard though you are?

Bastard though I am,

the thought did cross my mind.

Faster!
They're gaining on us.

My legs aren't working
too well right now.

Zed!

Come on.
Zed, get up!

They bleed black blood.

Right in the chest
and he didn't go down.

I get the feeling
they're not so easy to kill.

What made you change your mind?

Good question.

Already starting to regret it.

We need Janya
to heal us.

I do not fear these humans.

With our healer,
we are indestructible.

Then we will pursue the two
who have our kinjes.

I don't know, Janzo,
but there's usually an element

of truth in ancient stories,
so, please.

I mean, what the hell
are we unlocking anyway?

What is the Skevikor?

Hurry up, Munt.
What is that you're eating?

Stuffed pigeon.
I couldn't let it go to waste.

- It was made for Warlita.
- Oh, how did that go?

Um, she, um...
she didn't eat this here pigeon.

Oh. Munt,
you can't win them all.

Forget about Warlita.
You're a beast.

- She's a flower.
- Yeah.

It's not meant to be.

I'm a beast.

No sign of a key in here.

Wren, I am hungry and tired.
How long have we been here for?

I don't know, Janzo, but
we have to figure this out.

Right, well, we're assuming
that this is the Skevikor, yes?

- Mm-hmm.
- And to unlock the Skevikor,

we need a key.

No key, no unlocking the Skevikor.
No problem.

If we don't unlock the Skevikor,

I think Falista
might just kill us.

We just need to keep Falista
in the dark for a few more days,

and then once she's finally had
enough and she wants to kill us,

well, that's when
we bring her down here,

and we buy ourselves
a few more days.

Let's be honest,
she's never going to figure out

it's missing a key
by herself is she?

Holy are the gods.

Have you ever seen such a place?

Your Majesty, we were just...

making sure that everything was safe
down here before we told you about it.

I knew I could count
on you two little geniuses

even if you are
working against me.

You can't stand to see a puzzle
unsolved. It's in your nature.

Look! Tobin, it's the symbol
we've seen in our visions.

I told you the gods speak to me.

My visions were real.

Hopefully, this is
proof enough to you now.

I never doubted you, Falista.

You did,
but I'll forgive you.

Just don't ever doubt me again.

Did these gods,

did they ever give you any
idea as to what this thing does?

- You don't know?
- Not a clue.

Well, I'm sure they'll
tell me in their own time.

But until then,
you two will work

day and night
to find me that key.

I think we lost them.

Who are those creeps?

I'm sorry about Vikka, Zed.

He's been with me
since my first hunt.

He didn't deserve
to die like that.

Mm. We have to keep moving.

Just give me a minute.

I'm glad you came back.

We'd probably be dead
if you hadn't.

Yeah, well, you're the only
person I've met since the sanctuary

who treats me like I matter,

so I figured
I should save your butt.

And because it's pretty clear

you can't fight your way
out of a silk sack.

- Is that right?
- Let alone save that loser.

- Are you talking about me?
- She sure is.

You're lucky
you did save our butts,

otherwise
I would be beating yours.

I'd like to see you try.

Those things called
each other Vorta and Tera.

Those were the names
of the black and white kinjes.

She called you Golu.

Because I have the Golukinj.

We need to get back to Janzo
and Wren, tell them what we saw.

Two said they were gods.
Maybe she's right.

I doubt gods bleed black blood.

Munt.

Where have you been?

You've been avoiding me.

- Don't look at me.
- Gods above, Munt.

What is wrong with you?

I'm a hideous beast.

Who told you that?

The king.

He said I'm a beast,

and you're a perfect flower.

How can a beast
ever be with a flower?

I'm not a flower.
I'm a woman.

And you're not a beast, Munt.

And next time we have supper,
make it simple.

Meat, potatoes, and that ale.

Next time?

And stop listening to the king.

He's an idiot.

And this is as far as you go.

What?
Now you want to ditch me?

After I saved your skins?

Guess I was wrong about you
thinking I mean something.

You do mean something,
which is why I want to keep you safe.

And we don't know
what things are like in there

or how tight a grip
Falista has on the place.

Fine.

One town is much
the same as the other.

This one's played out anyway.
Maybe see you around.

Hey, Luna!

For once,
just stay out of trouble.

You think she'll
really stay away?

For about 5 minutes.

Gods of The Three,

I have done what you've asked,

but I need more instructions.

The kinj-bearers
will go to the place

that they call the Capital

and present themselves
to the Gods.

What did that mean?

They want us to come to them.

Why?

So they can take our kinjes?

They'd have to kill us
first.

I think that's the plan.

I'm so pleased to see you both.

The gods have spoken,
and here you appear.

So you saw it, too?

It came in answer
to my prayer to the gods.

They are not gods.

How can you deny it even now?

Because I saw it, all right?

They killed Two.
They turned her into dust.

She was prideful and evil.

She's been judged and punished.

I'm the chosen vessel
of the gods now.

They also tried to kill me.

I think they want to kill
all of the kinj-bearers.

- Why would they do that?
- I don't know.

But we think these kinjes and
these new beings are related.

I mean, their names for a start.
Vorta and Tera?

Those were the names of the black
and white kinjes that got destroyed.

And when Two died, a green ball
of light came out from her ashes.

I'm betting there will be
a third one of these things,

gods, whatever
you want to call them.

It will emerge
with green markings on it

and it will match the Janyakinj.

- There are seven gods.
- And seven kinjes.

So kinjes must belong to them.

They are truly
a power of the gods!

This must be why they're
calling us. We must return them.

- I don't think that's a good idea.
- What makes you say that?

Like I said,
they're evil, all right?

They want to kill us.
They want us all dead.

Just don't go to the Capital
and do not answer their call.

At the very least,
wait until we know more.

I'll take that
under advisement. Thank you.

Falista, for once, just listen.

Tobin!

Please.

- What are you doing?
- Going to the Capital.

Bloody hell, Falista.

You heard what Zed
and Talon said.

Yes, I did, but I'm not afraid.

The gods have chosen me.
They're not going to hurt me.

Talon is no liar.

If she said that
they killed Two

and they tried to kill Zed,
that's what happened.

Yes, Tobin, but I'm not Two.

I trust the gods.
I'm their willing servant.

It's very clear to me
the kinjes belong to them,

so we are going to
take them back willingly.

This is what you wanted, isn't it?
To be rid of the kinjes?

So we're going to
go to the Capital,

and on our knees, we will
present our kinjes to the gods.

You and I,
we'll be free together,

just like you asked.

Promise me.

I promise you.
We'll give them up.

But first, there's something
else we need to do.

So a key unlocks this altar,
and then what?

- The end of the world happens?
- One theory.

Then we need to find this key before
any other else does and destroy it.

You know, I've been
puzzling over this notion

that these so-called gods
bleed black blood

and have pointy ears like you.

Not exactly like ours.
Theirs are bigger. More points.

What are you getting at, Janzo?

Everything from
our world has red blood,

but everything from the
Plane of Ashes, black blood.

True, but I don't think us Blackbloods
are actually from the Plane of Ashes.

This world is our home.

Maybe it's a little more
complicated than that, Zed.

Impressive, isn't it?

A miracle of the gods
right beneath our feet?

- What do you want, Falista?
- I want you.

Well, you and Zed.

You're coming with us to
the Capital by royal command.

You're making a huge mistake.

Mistake or not,
we live to serve the gods.

What are you doing, Tobin?

You're all marching off
to your deaths.

Lock up the gate marshal
until we get back.

Sorry, Spears.
Nothing personal.

Shall we?

I'm not going to
the Capital, Falista.

Oh, really?
We'll see about that.

Chain them!

Let's go.
