Roar S1E12 - English Transcript

[Voices Whispering, Indistinct] [Owl Hoots] [Chattering Softly] - I'm not going. - You're acting like a child, Fergus. No, I'm not. You can't make me go if I don't want to go. Would you listen to this? Fergus, I can't help it if the village that has volunteered to build the new meeting house for the Confederation of Tribes, at a great cost to them and of vital importance to the movement, is the same village where your wife lives. She's not my wife. Right, she's she's not your wife. She's She's Molly's mother and she's your whatever you call her. I don't call her anything. Fine. Let's go. No. Why not? - I'm not going. - He's afraid of her. Always has been. - I am not. - He left her. She hates him. And when he shows his face, she's going to pound it flat. Big warrior. I am not afraid. You're afraid. I just can't remember his name. [Conor] Whose name? The leader of the village. The one we're supposed to meet. Dunn. His name is Dunn. Dunn. Yes. Good. Let's go. - Three bushels. - She's like me child. I can see that. Three bushels. No. Darlin', it's a cow, and half dead at best. [Molly] Dunn. Molly, my love. Where's my mother? Give us a kiss. Calm yourself, lad. Is this him? My da. I can see you got your brains from your mother. He's probably good for heavy lifting though. I'll be killing you now. We've come to see the meeting house, not to fight. It's a great honor you do the Confederation. I am Conor. I'm deeply moved. Welcome. Have we met? Dunn. Catlin. Anything you need, you just come see me. Everyone knows, you need something, you just ask Dunn. Dunn gets it done. Do you get it? This is not a happy day for me. I don't like him either, Fergus, but we need him. Just keep reminding me. Excuse the mess. It's market day. Are you by any chance interested in some winter wheat? Top quality. High yields. I've also got some [Woman] Molly! Ma! Aw, look at you! [Laughing] Oh! Look at you. This is Agrona, my mother. [Both] And my wife. Your wife? My sun in the morning and my stars at night. The best man I've ever had. [Man Narrating] Long ago, at the edge of the known world, the last Celtic tribes were fighting for survival. Europe had fallen to the Romans, and this remote and untamed island was the final stronghold of the ancient ways. [Roaring] Of course, you realize a project of this size is not without its problems, expenses, delays. We're grateful for what you've done. The meeting house gives the Confederation a home, a place to strategize. You start out with high hopes, and then come the headaches. It's a lot like women, eh, Fergus? Labor problems, supplies, organization It doesn't happen all by itself, does it? Your village has been very generous. You can't expect every detail of an undertaking like this to happen overnight. There's always some little task left to do. - We'd be happy to help with any work that still needs to be done. - Good lad. We have a deal then. It'll be a sight to behold. When it's finished, it'll have walls, of course. Windows, floors, a vantage point in every direction. I tell you, those Roman *** will think twice about messing with the Confederation when they see this beauty. Anything in that message you'd like to share? That's an interesting word coming from you, Longinus. Oh, don't be childish. I have shared more of myself with you than I think you deserve. Lately, you've been very selfish. Seeing your life's desire destroyed in front of your eyes can be somewhat distracting. What's in the scroll? Rome is sending an emissary to check up on me. What? Word has filtered back that you've usurped my power, and that Conor's alliance is gaining strength. If the emissary doesn't return with a sterling report, they'll send a thousand soldiers in his wake. I'll bury them. A legion? Do that and the entire empire will come raining down upon you. No, Longinus. You're going to have to show this man what he wants to see me, in control. Who's being selfish now? And he's going to want to see Conor destroyed. You do love the game, don't you, Diana? We need each other. We can help each other. We each have something to share. It'll be like old times. Will it, now? Yes. Everybody gets what he wants. I saw you last night. - What? - I saw you. You should have been a little bit more quiet. - You saw me? - I don't have a problem with it. I like Molly. And you don't need to go sneaking around in the woods. I don't have a problem with it. It doesn't bother me at all. Eh Well, that's good. And I'm sure Fergus will come around to accepting the idea. Yeah. Right. That weasel ran out on me. He's older now, Ma. He deserves a second chance. - In case you're forgetting, I'm a married woman. - And since you've opened that door - Dunn takes good care of me. - He's a lecherous slob. Molly! Call Fergus what you will, but Dunn? Where's your self-respect, Ma? The man's a snake. If you don't like the life I've chosen Let's not argue. I love you. That's why I'm here. And the truth is, I have something to say. dd [Whistling] [Man] You're cuttin'these pegs just a mite too short. dd [Singing Folk Song] [Man Joins In] dd [Solo] [Men Laugh] [All Join In] dd [Solo] dd [AllJoin In] [Stops] [Screams] Hang on, lass! Hang on! Come on, lads. Pull there! Come here. Let go. Let it go. You're all right. All right. May I ask what you're doing? I'm building a cage, Longinus. A trophy case. And guess who we're going to put in it. What an ambitious woman you are. How do you suppose you're going to get him in there? Well, I trapped you, didn't I? I think he'll look nice hanging in our entryway. My love, your plan has poetry and beauty, and not a chance of success. I need guarantees. What kind of guarantees? My lord. What news today? Conor is in love with Fergus's daughter. What? If you want the prince, the girl will be the key. Of course, we're gonna have to get rid of her father first. Longinus, I told you I would handle this. And you shall in time. Longinus, the emissary will demand an immediate report and will want to see results. Relax, Queen. He's gonna have more results than he can handle. Feeling better this morning, dear? Fine. Well, I have some news might lift your spirits. Conor come to see me last night. Asked if I knew a spot the two of you might slip off together to. Private sort of place, you know. Leave me alone. It's all right, love. I was young once myself. No crime in being young. So, I told her I was young once myself, and that if she was that keen on being alone with you, I'd be happy to help her out. Where is this place? Just down the river. You'll have the whole place to yourself. Why are you doing this? Because if Molly's happy, then her mother's happy. And that takes a load off me. She'll be waiting for you after supper. He's on the scent. Is that his real hair color, or does he do the lime? I don't know who you're talking about. That lad making love to Molly. [Fergus] Hey! What do you think you're doing? Nothing. Doesn't look like nothing to me. Is this any of your business? Well, I'd say so. Relax, Fergus. I was just Just what? Being supportive. Oh, it's support she's needing now, is it? It's all right, Fergus. Let them be. Let them be what? And since when are you happy to see him falling in the arms of another? I wasn't falling in anything. You were hanging on my daughter. Does your mother know you behave this way? - Why don't you accept things? If they have feelings for each other - Feelings? And even if they are in love What? - Well, why pretend? It's obvious. - No, it's not. - In love? - We're not! - I told you, you don't have to pretend. - In love? - No! - Truth, girl. Say it now or die lying. L Fergus, let her be. - Do you want to tell me, lass? - You stay out of this. - Fergus. - Say it, girl. Say you love him. - Don't, Molly. - Say it. - She doesn't have to. - Say it! Fine. I love him. [Loudly] I love him! And I hate you. You are no longer welcome in my bedroom. I want you to have a talk with our daughter. I've had a talk with her. - And? - And she's as stubborn as you are. She's stirring up feelings in that boy neither one of'em should be having. Who are you to talk about feelings? You've had 20 years to be a father to Molly, and you were nowhere in sight. You get out of my house! Agrona, this has nothing to do with us. The boy's not ready to be falling in love again. I can't figure out if you're a liar or a fool. I'm no liar. [Chuckles] Well, suit yourself. - You have to help me. - I don't have to do anything except to tell you, you are the lowest kind of man. You desert your family, and then you come back here interfering in the lives of two young people for no reason I can see. [Sighs] If you want my help, you tell me what you're really after if you're man enough. All right. Here's the truth then. I cannot stand him anymore. He's a boy playing a king. I know more than him, and yet I must serve him. It's eating me alive, and I'm not going to hand him my daughter on top of it. I've felt a lot of things about you, Fergus. You can now add pity to that list. You are a cruel and selfish man, and I want you out of my house. Whipped you too, huh? Leave me alone. Why does everyone in your family keep saying that to me? Glad to see I've had some influence. Fergus, I think I can help you. Help me what? I can help you get what you want. That's what I do. Excellent. This is excellent. Okay, open the doors. Open the doors now. Hello? Come on! Let me out! [Groans] Let me out! Hello? [Banging] Come on! Let me out! Oh. I'm beginning to see the merits of your creation. - Open the doors, Longinus. - Can't you get out yourself? No. No one could. It's a cage. I see. Conor? Conor? [Gasps] And what are you doing out here all alone? I'm looking for my man. Oh, your man? And what would your man look like? Big, strong, kind of goofy looking. Kind of goofy? Oh, I don't think I've seen him around here. You sure I'm not that fellow? Oh, you could be. I don't want to see any more. Then stop 'em. No, I want to go home. Fergus, we came all this way. You're just going to let him have his way with her? Molly's a big girl. Then I'm gonna say somethin'. I'm almost her da anyway. No, you're not. Well, I'm her da after you. [Fergus] You're not sayin'nothin'. [Dunn] Unless you're too drunk to care, then you do it. But you better hurry. Enough! Fergus! Da! Don't you "Da" me. This has nothing to do with you. I trusted you. I put my faith in you. Leave him alone! [Groans] Don't you ever go near him again! [Groans] [Grunting, Groaning] Stop it, both of you! Oh, you want to fight? We'll fight. Get back! Fergus! Fergus! F-Fergus? [Loudly] What have you done? - Molly. - What have you done? Molly, l [Sobbing] Oh, Da. Conor! Oh, Da. [Sobbing Continues] My whole life I never knew you. But when I met you, something happened. You became a part of me. My da. And now you're gone. And the fact that I lived all those years without you doesn't make it any better. It makes it worse. With my last breath I will curse the man who took you from me. Too cowardly to show his face here. He said he was your friend. I will never speak his name again. I will Oh, Da, I miss you. He was the finest man I ever knew. He was better than all of them. Oh, Fergus, you ***, I loved you! [Sniffles] I miss the twinkle in his eye. And his shoulders He was built like an ox. They don't make 'em like that anymore. Sure, now she misses me. Fergus, get down! They're going to see you. I'm so sorry, Fergus! I'm sorry! For years you get nothing but hostility. But you die, and they love you. Would you be quiet? Look at her, will you? You're going to ruin everything. What kind of turnout is that for a funeral? It's pitiful! There's lots of people there, Fergus. Rowan the rat catcher had 30 at his funeral. There's not 10 people there. That's not true. There's 12. Where's Catlin? She should have shown up. She should be crying her eyes out. Catlin's busy. Doing what? She's busy. You told her. - Who do you think prepared the body? - I wondered who they were burnin'. - It's rags and leaves and some old meat. Took me all night. - Meat? - It had to smell like you. - Don't insult the dead. - Why didn't you tell me about this in the first place? - L You didn't trust me. Er, of course we do. No, you didn't think I could pull it off. Yeah, big important plan. Don't tell Catlin. Big boys will handle it. Really should have told her. We needed you to think that he and Molly were really falling for each other. - Why? - So that Dunn would think the same thing. And you don't think I could have pretended? Of course we do. Absolutely. Why does Dunn need to think they were falling in love? - So that he would tell Longinus. - Why would he tell Longinus? - He's an informer. - He is? That's why we need him to think I'm dead. [Sighs] Wait a minute. Wait. You pretended to love Molly so that he would pretend to fight you, and you would pretend to kill him so that Dunn would tell Longinus? - [Together] Yes. - Well, why didn't you tell me? - We're telling you now. - Well, does Molly know about all this? No. Absolutely not. It's pretty. Molly, I wanted to ask you somethin'. I never had any children of my own. And, well, I'd be honored if you would let me be a father to you now. I know there are no words to comfort you, but if there's anything I can ever do [Sighs] I don't mean to upset you. It's not you. It's just I wish I could go away. Away? He's here. Conor? I wonder where he went. It doesn't matter. He's here. And I want to be a thousand miles away. [Man] Flank them on the right! We're taking a terrible risk, darlin'. I don't care. My lord, I am Dunn the trader. This is not the marketplace. There is word of a ship, my lord. A Roman ship. This girl would like to leave the island. We have much to trade. And what do you have that could possibly interest me? Winter wheat. The finest available. Livestock, weaponry, rope. She wants a new life, and you offer me rope? There are other things, my lord. Tell her what you really want, Longinus. Conor. - Conor? - How badly do you want to leave this island? - There is nothing here for me. - Then tell us where he is. I don't know where he is now, but I think I know where he will be. Well, now I'm intrigued. [Mouse Squeaks] [Bones Crunching] I loved him too. I know that. I swear I didn't mean it. It happened so fast. I thought he was going to hurt you, and I couldn't bear that. I couldn't. I love you, Molly. I do, and nothing could change that. - Oh, Conor. - Molly. I am sorry. Molly. I am so sorry. And so am I. [Footsteps Approaching] You killed my father, you ***! Now! I liked it when you said you loved me. You said she wasn't in on it. Why didn't you tell me? She was in on it the whole time. Well, we needed you to think that Oh, shut up! [Grunts] [Sighs] Where's my scarlet tunic? Where'd you put it? You going somewhere? I told you. The ship's coming in today. Big ship. Big day. How can I find anything in this mess? - You're going to deal with the Romans, are you? - I always deal with the Romans. You gonna show 'em your new meetin' house? Why would I do that? - Well, they might find it interesting. - What do you mean? There are 10 naked, dead soldiers inside it. Oh, it's a big day. Have we thought of everything? Well, we won't know until it's too late. Well, if it doesn't work, I'm glad I've known you, and I'm sorry I killed you. What's a little *** between friends, huh? Yeah. Catlin I'm not talking to you. Right. Look at it this way. If you die, she'll love you. [Door Opens] [Grunting] Longinus, I have a surprise for you! I tell you, it's days like this that make life worth living. Get him up. I'm actually grateful to you. I haven't felt pleasure like this in centuries. I get such satisfaction from your pain. I think you're going to like your new home. You know you're here courtesy of your beloved, but I have a surprise for her. She's not going to Rome. She's staying here. She's going to play with me, and you get to watch. That is not what we agreed to. - You should know me better than that, my love. - We had a deal! When the emissary arrives I am the queen, you are my adviser, and he is my prisoner. Well, as your adviser, let me advise you to think of a new story, because I have captured the leader of the savages, I have control of the island, and you can go to your room. [Man] The emissary is approaching. Better think fast. Put him in the cage. Put him in the cage. Put him in the cage! You heard the man. [Gasping] [Screaming] [Screaming Continues] [Moaning] It worked, my queen. It's not over yet, Prince. [Dunn] Idiot! I must see the queen! Hide. Let me in! These are impostors. The soldiers are dead. Tricked by the girl and the prince. She never intended Dunn. [Unsheathes Knife] My lord? You! Yes. [Door Opens] Excellency. Diana Metellus. I am here to observe your progress. You honor my home, Secundus. ***! ***! Lying guttersnipe! She lies! She lies! Don't listen to her! And what is this? This is Longinus, Your Excellency. For years my adviser. Behind my back he raised an army to take this territory away from Rome. Don't listen to her! She lies! He took advantage of my trust. I hope I've dealt with him appropriately. She's in league with the native Prince Conor! She's disloyal to Rome! Kill her now while you can! She will destroy you! This is what every traitor deserves. Kill her! Kill her now! [Screaming] - Where is his army? - Dead. And who is this? Conor, the native prince. Well, you have done good work. But I forget my manners. Quarters have been prepared for you and your men. Come, refresh yourselves. I've prepared a feast in your honor. The food is simple, but it's very appealing. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised. [Longinus] Diana. Diana. Diana. Diana! Shut up. You're right about one thing. It feels great. Only it was you who was betrayed by love. You who was set up from the beginning. [Chuckles] I think we should celebrate. What do you think, men? Right! The first day in 400 years that the world will be rid of you. Do what you must. Others have. They're all dead. Aye. You are good at that. You killed the Father. You killed your own God. You will not kill again. Good-bye, Longinus. Pitiful fool. I can't die. No, but you're gonna wish you could! [Screaming] You're missing the fun. Agrona's made a feast. There's music. She's even dancing with Fergus. I'll come later. [Molly] He's down there for good. [Conor] Is he? You can't watch the ocean forever. I'll always wonder. If you let him have a hold on you, he's won. A new world begins today. All possibilities. All hope. Anything can happen, Conor. Anything. Come. [Waves Crashing] [Seagull Mewing]
