Original subtitles

Give me your wisdom to understand

the stranger in our midst.

- Who are you?

- What does it all mean, though?

(metallic screech)

(tribal music)

- Authorities are claiming For calm

throughout the evacuation process.

(exotic music)

- Hey!

Cass wants to see you.

Well, go on then, what are you waiting for?

Useless Barbs.

(tense music)

(metallic roar)

- Get down, go!

(heavy rumbling)

(angry roar)

(door creaking)

(clucking)

- Thanks for breakfast.

- But you haven't finished.

- I'm in a rush.

I'll eat it whenever I have a break.

- But,

if you like Sal then Sal won't bite, you know.

- I wouldn't be too sure about that.

She's taking this all very seriously.

- Why don't you just tell her not to be so bossy?

- Cass.

Flame said you wanted to see me?

- No, not me.

- Not me, either.

(gentle music)

- I don't have to see anyone I don't want to.

I'm leader, now, remember?

- Can't very well just turn them away.

They said they'd been traveling for days.

- That's their problem.

That can't expect me to just drop everything

because they decide to come unannounced.

- You should see them, Mistress.

They don't seem the type to be messed about.

- Honestly, so much fuss over just a few visitors?

- Not just any visitors.

I think these people could be important.

- Hair?

- Perfect.

- Show them in, then.

(gentle music)

- Hey, Dan!

Do you want to play machines?

- I'd rather play with the real ones.

- Yeah. - Would you?

Really, I mean.

- They don't scare me.

- Then let's go.

- Where?

- To the Forbidden Zone, to help Sky and Zora.

- Can't.

I've got work in the vegetable garden to do.

- Same here.

- Can't go then.

- You know what I think?

You are scared.

- So are you!

- I would have gone with Sky and Zora.

- [Erin] Why don't you then?

- I wasn't allowed.

- Just as well.

The machines would have got you.

- Would've been better than being stuck here

with all these rules.

- What do you think you're both doing?

- What does it look like, talking.

- You're both supposed to be helping out today

in the vegetable garden.

- We know.

- And don't forget who's in charge, me!

- No one will ever forget

if you keep on reminding us all the time.

- Don't be late.

- See what I mean?

Even Sal has rules.

- So do I, and that's not to do what anyone says.

- Your rule's not working today, though, is it?

Only you are.

(gentle music)

(screech)

- I've brought you some...

(clears throat loudly)

- A messenger from the Bird tribe, Ms. Harmony.

- Who?

- It's kind of you to see us, Mistress,

at short notice.

- Yes, I would agree with you, there.

I don't usually have time to see messengers.

- Yes, our leader, Lord Attil, he is the same.

- Who is that, your master?

- My brother.

- Oh.

So, you're not just any messenger.

- No, and I bring greetings

from my brother and my tribe.

- How sweet.

Gwyn, have you offered our guests something to drink, eat?

- You said you only had a few minutes, Ms. Harmony.

- I'm sure I can alter my schedule

to hear what Lord...

Who was it?

- Attil.

- Run along, Gwyneth.

We don't wanna keep our guests waiting.

- Yes, Ms. Harmony.

- It's difficult to get good servants these days.

Now, what can I do for you?

(tense music)

(metallic grinding)

(metallic grinding)

- It's the machines...

And the stars.

- Exactly like the markings that that boy drew.

And here are those two children I was telling you about.

- [Zora] Just like Faygar's prophecies.

- [Sky] Do you believe in them?

- Maybe used to,

but now I'm not so sure.

- Wonder what else is here.

What's this?

It's...

Pointing that way.

(chirping)

- How many times do I have to tell you?

I had nothing to do with it.

- If we ever find out that you did,

you won't be welcome here.

- I don't feel very welcome now,

so that won't change.

- You'd better get back to work, then.

- Who told you Cass wanted to see the guard anyway?

- Told Faygar, what do you mean?

- She asked me to tell the guard, right Faygar?

- Actually, that's right.

I did, come to think of it.

- So, if you wanna find out who's to blame,

find out where it all started

rather than accusing innocent people like me.

- You never struck me as being innocent, Flame.

- Just goes to show

you're a bad judge of character, then, doesn't it?

- So, who did you tell?

- I tried to tell you all, but no one would listen.

(gentle music)

(clucking)

- Leave the poor thing alone, Sal.

That's cruel.

- No it isn't!

- Yes it is, on us.

We're having to do all the work.

- I'll do seeds in a minute.

- I'm not gonna work if you just play.

- I'm not playing, I'm testing something.

- It's not fair, I'll tell Faygar!

- 'Cause she's older, right, and bigger?

- Right.

She's the one really in charge, not you.

- Would you like to be bigger as well, then?

- Yeah, then we could do as we like, hey, Dan?

What did you do that for?

- You've got to grow if you want to get bigger.

- It doesn't work on us, Sal.

Not like seeds and plants.

- Hey, can I go with you?

- I told you before, Dan, no.

- But I'm a good tracker.

- Not as good as Kwarli.

You stay here and help the others.

(tribal music)

- This way, I think.

- He doesn't have much of a head start.

Hopefully he hasn't gotten too far.

- Only the Ancestor and I know which words have been spoken.

I can see them.

- Calm down, Faygar, please.

- No, we have to prepare for the prophesies, Cass,

The coming of the descendant of Zoot,

or we're doomed!

(solemn music)

- The Privileged only trade on occasion.

It all depends on what we get in return.

- It is good to be fair.

- I try to be.

- [Sunni] What about the other tribes of the region?

- The Ants and Barbs?

- I would like to meet them.

- I don't think that would be necessary.

They deal through me.

- You rule them?

- Let's just say I'm working on it.

- These Barbs and Ants,

do they have many warriors?

- Enough.

- More than your tribe?

- The Privileged have more than enough Warps

to take on the Ants and Barbs,

or anyone else for that matter.

- That is wise, to be protected.

- What about your tribe?

- We are also well protected.

We have to be, we have many enemies.

- Oh?

- If Lord Attil can't get what he wants by trade,

then he'll often just take.

- That isn't very fair.

- If it is the way it has to be,

then it is the way it has to be.

You must understand one thing about our tribe, Ms. Harmony.

We always get what we want.

- [Cass] Are you sure about it, Leanne?

- If I'd asked the guard to see you, I'd know, wouldn't I?

- I suppose.

- What's all this about anyway, Cass?

- Just double-checking something.

- Right, I'd better get back to the vegetable garden

before Sal comes looking for me.

- Okay, Leanne, thanks. (sighs)

(metallic grinding)

- Wow.

I've never seen anything like that before.

Let's check it out.

It feels warm.

- It does, a bit.

- I wonder why. - The sun?

- Yeah, could be.

It's almost as if it has its own energy.

- I've seen some trees, the red leaf, in the Seven Lakes.

They have huge trunks,

and if you put your arms around them,

like you're giving it a hug,

it almost feels like it's living.

- If you're a Barb.

- You don't have to live in the forest to feel it.

- [Sky] Wonder how old these stones are.

- [Zora] Ancient.

- Bet people used to worship them.

- Not just people.

According to all the legends in the lands,

the machines do as well.

(birds cawing)

- Well?

- They're all settled.

- Double the guards.

I don't trust them.

- Why invite them to stay, then?

- I didn't, they invited themselves.

- What do you think they want?

- A meeting with all the tribal leaders.

- Do you really believe that?

- Good question.

- Well, they seem friendly enough.

- Who are you trying to convince, Gwyn,

me or yourself?

- Myself.

- Did you hear the way that Sunni was all

talking about Lord Attil?

They don't seem to have many friends, Gwyn,

only enemies.

- No wonder.

Whatever Lord Attil wants, he takes.

(gentle music)

- Flame?

- Does that little brat got you working as well?

- Don't call Sal that!

- She happens to be the bossiest person I know.

- I think you would be in the running for that. (sighs)

But I'm not here to argue with you, Flame.

I owe you an apology.

- For what?

- Accusing you of letting the boy go free.

- I told you it wasn't me.

- (sighs) I'm sorry.

- So who was it, then?

- You'll find out, eventually.

Dan?

Can you help load up all the grains into the food store?

- Why?

- I meant to do it myself, but I have to go to the shrine.

- 'K.

- Dan'll be back soon. - Okay.

- So will I. - No you won't!

- But I've got something-- - What?

- ...Important to do.

- Right, and that's here.

No one tricks me.

- Sal, why are you so nice to some people, like Cass?

- 'Cause Cass is nice.

- So am I! - Really?

- Really.

- Cass would never want to try and play tricks.

She's nice to me and I'm nice to her.

- Makes sense.

- Now you know why I have such a problem with you.

- You're nothing but a problem to everyone, Erin.

- Maybe that's because I have you as my sister.

- The only problem is having you as a brother.

Now get back to work or I'll tell Sal.

(tense music)

- What is it?

- I saw some movement behind the trees over there.

(leaves rustling)

These footprints are fresh.

- Could be his, let's go.

- [Boy] Get them!

- How's it going, guys?

We didn't mean any trouble.

- That's right, we're just, uh, looking for someone.

- Yeah, so why don't you go your way

and we'll go ours?

- [Boy] No, you're coming with us, now!

- Ancestor, protect us from the evil one,

give us your wisdom and strength in our time of darkness.

- You should also ask the Ancestor for forgiveness.

- Hear me, Ancestor.

Help me make the others believe, as I believe.

- How can anyone believe

if you're not telling the truth, Faygar?

- I don't know what you mean.

- Oh, yes you do.

It was you who set the boy free, wasn't it?

- It was the Ancestor who gave me the sign.

- You're not blaming the Ancestor.

- We can't just sit back and do nothing

while that boy ruins us all!

- Could be harmless!

- Not according to the prophesies.

- You should have discussed everything first.

- No one sees what I see, Cass!

No one would've agreed!

- That's no reason to let the boy go free,

and trying to place the blame on someone else,

even if it was Flame!

You've got more sense than that.

- I'm trying to save us, Cass!

Ancestor, keep the evil one away from our village,

as far away as you can,

so we have time to prepare.

- This is your last chance.

What were you doing?

- I told you before, looking for someone.

- We weren't trespassing or anything.

We were in Barb lands.

- An Ant and a Barb.

You must hate each other as much as I do.

- Ants and Barbs get along with each other now, Ms. Harmony.

- How sweet.

- According to my brother, at least.

How is he, anyway?

I miss him.

- I'm sure he misses you as well,

betraying him like you did!

- Ooh.

Nasty.

I wouldn't put it past the Ants and Barbs

to turn,

at any time.

- Against you?

- If you think you can ever

rule the lands of the Privileged--

- I'm not interested in ruling anyone, Harmony.

- So, tell me more about this boy you're looking for.

- Well, there's not a lot to tell.

- I find it so annoying

when people try to withhold information from me.

- We're not, honestly.

This boy, well...

He just doesn't speak.

- You expect me to believe that?

- No, but it's the truth.

- Take them away!

Perhaps they'll be more talkative

once they've spent some time in the cells.

(gentle music)

- I still can't work out why the machines

never seem to patrol outside the Forbidden Zone.

- We hope.

- And why they all patrol at the same time.

- I haven't kept a strict record,

but they seem to, more or less.

- And if Kwarli's right,

and it all has something to do

with the position of the stars,

then how did that boy-- (wet thud)

- Shh!

Ask him.

- I don't believe it.

What's he doing here?

- [Zora] Fishing, by the look of it.

- He must have escaped.

Keep out of sight while I try and round him up.

- I can help.

- Well, it could get tough.

- Girls can be as tough as boys, Sky.

Besides, I'm a Barb, remember?

- And what's that got to do with it?

- I'll show you an easy way.

(tribal music)

(bird call)

It's all right, I can manage.

- So I see.

Not bad.

- For a girl?

- Where did you learn to do that?

- Hunting, rounding up horses and ponies.

It's not too difficult once you know how.

- Better not get on the wrong side of you, then.

- Right now, you're gonna bind his hands.

Make sure we don't lose him again.

- So...

What have you been up to?

- It's getting late.

I woulda thought Omar and Kwarli would be back by now.

- Maybe they've been captured by the machines.

- They're not even on patrol.

- What makes you so sure?

- Don't wind everybody up, Flame.

- Just offering suggestions.

- I haven't heard them.

- Me neither. (burps loudly)

- Erin, that's disgusting!

- (burps) You did it on purpose, just like me.

- Stop it, both of you!

- Sorry, Cass.

- Has anyone found out how that boy escaped?

- No.

- Yes.

- Don't have to say anything, Faygar.

- It was my fault, I was responsible.

- You?

I wouldn't stand for that, everyone.

- Don't try and stir things up, Flame.

Faygar was just doing what she thought was right.

- And if I've brought any danger to Omar and Kwarli,

then I'm sorry, I truly am.

- But why?

Why do it?

- Just believe me, Dan, we don't want that boy

anywhere near here if he's the descendant of Zoot.

- Scary, eh? (laughs)

- I'm not scared.

- Wait 'til the beast boy gets you.

Rawr!

- Leave them alone.

- Just having a bit of fun.

- I mean it.

- You couldn't even harm a fly!

- Oh yeah?

- There'll be no fighting,

or you can leave now, understand?

- I'm not having him threaten me like that!

- It's what you always do, and I'm sick of it.

- Me too! - And me.

- Look what you've started.

- All the young ones gang up on poor Flamey.

Not fair, is it?

I'm going to bed.

It's more fun sleeping.

Unless, of course, any one of you

wants to try and take me on.

- You don't have to prove how tough you are, Flame.

- Neither do you, Dan,

so sit down and finish your meal.

- Shame, that could've been you, Dan,

or anyone else who fancies their chances.

(gentle music)

- I've brought you both some food.

Don't worry, it isn't poisoned or anything.

You can trust me.

- Dan couldn't.

- I would never have done anything to harm Dan.

He knows that.

- And us?

- I'll help you, if you'll let me.

(harp music)
