The last w*r had destroyed the world.
Fire devoured the work
of centuries.
Everything generations had built
was lost to the flames.
After the fire came a rain.
Rain like lava,
burning earth and people.
Years passed, but the fire rain
kept coming back.
Only traces remained
of the old world.
Preserved by some miracle,
to remind people
of something eternal,
of something
meant to last forever.
Something indestructible.
One of these traces
was the All-Seeing Sword.
Forged once in honor of a great hero
who came from afar.
It united within itself
the power of East and West.
The strength of both worlds
made it a perfect weapon.
But not because it was harder
than stone or steel,
but because it chose
its bearer itself.
The All-Seeing Sword searched with its eye
for a worthy warrior,
and when it found him,
it stayed with him
until the end of his life.
Everyone who recognized
its power knew:
there is no greater honor,
no greater blessing,
than to see a hero's face reflected
in the eye of his sword.
[wind howling]
[somber music playing]
[buzzing]
We'll waste the hunt
if we don't move.
Soon...
[man] Stop it.
Just say the word,
and we'll go.
Don't worry.
What if someone warned them?
[men chuckling]
[wind howling]
Water, please.
Please.
Can you pay for it, young boy?
Yes, we can.
Where do you come from?
Far away.
Where are you headed?
Nowhere.
Don't be rude, kid.
[man] Who's this?
The Lute Player.
-What's he to you?
-Nothing.
We travel together,
he plays the lute,
I help him move around.
[door closes]
Is the kid telling the truth?
He can't see you.
But he can hear me, right?
Yes, but he doesn't speak.
Why not?
[kid] He saves his breath
for the lute.
That's how he makes his living.
What's wrong with him?
Is he Soaked?
-Let's see.
-Better not!
[footsteps approaching]
[man] Easy, kid.
Out here, we pay first.
No problem.
Do it, then.
We'll pay with a song.
What does he sing about?
The Will of the Son.
[eerie music playing]
What are you talking about?
I told you to watch your mouth.
Repeat what you said.
What did you say
the Lute Player sings?
The Will of the Son.
You know what I heard
about that...
Will of the Son?
I heard it's nothing
but a fantasy.
I heard that the story
failed a long time ago,
and that no one
believes in it anymore.
Anyone who has heard
the story believes in it.
But they can hear it
only from the Lute Player.
He's the only person
who knows it.
Okay.
Come on, now, Lute Player.
If the boy speaks so nicely
of you, play the lute for us.
[dramatic tense music playing]
Can you do that... Lute Player?
[eerie music playing]
[music fades away]
-[g*nf*re]
-[suspenseful music playing]
[rapid g*nf*re]
[g*nsh*t]
[man 1] Throw the g*n down.
Move it.
[low tense music playing]
[man 1] Open up.
[man 1] I caught him by chance.
He was running away
from the Betrayed.
[chief woman] Head Collector?
Maybe.
But he doesn't look like one.
[woman] Let me see.
It's deep.
Who are you?
My name is John.
Of the Grainmen.
[man 2] I remember that your
late husband talked about them.
They live far away,
in the Badlands.
But the last I heard about them
was that the Grainmen
were destroyed
and no longer exist.
What are you doing here?
I'm going to the City.
[chief woman] Why?
To find my sister.
You won't find her.
I'm not asking
anything from you.
Just heal my wound.
I'll pay you back.
He looks very strong.
Get up!
If we clean him up,
and if Suna fixes him,
he could even qualify.
We'll try.
Okay.
We can try to help you.
But first,
you're going to help us.
[somber music playing]
Mom and Dad will be
back soon. Okay?
[foreboding music playing]
You got lucky.
You don't need any stitches.
He's looking all right.
Where are you taking me?
You're getting married.
Just be quiet
and do as you're told.
What marriage? What is this?
What if I say no?
[man 1] You will do
as you're told.
If everything turns out well,
you'll get a r*fle
and 40 b*ll*ts out of it.
The bride chooses
between many candidates.
Everything counts.
Your offering is in your looks,
your height, your weight,
and especially in your strength.
That's why we have to
make you look good.
Who is the picky bride?
You don't need
to worry about that.
All I care about is
the r*fle and 40 b*ll*ts.
You're going to the City?
I hope you'll find your sister.
[eerie music playing]
[dramatic tense music playing]
[alarm blaring]
Who are you?
Hide me... please.
[indistinct chatter]
[indistinct chatter]
[announcer] Tower announcement!
The Ruler has been wounded!
I repeat.
The Ruler has been wounded!
Tower announcement!
The Ruler has been wounded!
I repeat.
The Ruler has been wounded!
I repeat.
The Ruler has been wounded!
The Ruler has been wounded!
[man 3] Outlander...
Outlander!
What is it?
[man 3] The Lord wants you.
It's urgent.
It's not good.
The Ruler is wounded.
What?
They breached the Tower.
-Who?
-[man 3] I don't know.
The Lord wants you.
You will seal off all gates
leading in and out of the City.
Then, you will round up
all guards on duty at the time.
I want the whole
sleeping shift here.
How is he?
Two stabs in his torso.
Lord, maybe someone
was targeting the treasure.
Who did this?
We don't know.
But we caught the accomplice.
[Lord] Bring him, now.
Everybody out.
Move it.
Do you know what
I don't like about your tribe?
The masks.
Why do you wear them?
Are you ashamed of something?
[Soaked man] Lord...
We never even
thought about making you angry.
[Outlander] Do me a favor.
[Outlander] Take off the mask
for me. I just want a peek.
[Soaked man] None of our people
would even think of
opposing the Ruler,
let alone k*lling him.
Just one peek.
[Soaked man] The person
who wounded your father
is not one of Soaked.
[tense music playing]
I believe him.
I believe you're telling
the truth
and nothing but the truth.
There's just one problem here.
The person who did this...
That person wore
the same mask as yours.
That person is not here.
And you are.
So, tell me...
What would you do
if you were me?
[Soaked man] I don't know.
Someone knows, though.
Stop!
He didn't confess.
He'll confess.
[Lord] Guards!
Take him away.
[door opens and closes]
Listen to me closely.
Don't you ever be the judge
while I'm in your presence.
Yes, Lord.
Don't worry.
You're safe with me.
If you want my help,
you'll have to start talking.
That's not true.
They're full of sh*t.
We all know the Soaked
k*lled the Ruler.
[man 4] Make him go on, now.
And...
Be careful.
Let me make myself clear.
If your song is not right,
both of your heads will roll.
Play, now.
[eerie music playing]
[Lord] The Soaked have always
been dear to me and my father.
If anyone else attempted this,
maybe I could understand.
But the Soaked...
to strike the hand
that feeds them...
[Soaked chief] My Lord, I don't
know who was under that mask.
But I do know
he wasn't one of the Soaked.
My men saw
the assassin running
to the south side of the City.
As you know, we don't control
that part of the City.
The Bloodheads control it.
[gears whirring]
[Outlander] Listen to me,
please. I'll be brief.
What do you want?
[Outlander] Maria...
You're still gorgeous.
Even more than that.
What do you want?
I have no right
to ask anything from you.
You already
gave me everything...
except giving me a child.
What do you want?
Turn over the assassin.
So, that's why you're here?
Maria...
We know he's hiding
among your tribe.
I'm asking you nicely...
for old times' sake.
The Lord won't rest
until he finds him.
If you don't want to turn over
the assassin, find some--
Find someone who is
crippled and miserable.
There is no shortage
of them here.
The innocent won't die anymore.
You gorgeous thing...
Be smart,
please, just be smart.
[intense music playing]
[man 2] That's it.
If anything goes wrong,
I'll give you a sign.
[intense music continues]
Matchmakers and suitors,
none of you can be armed!
[man 2] Turn around.
The Bride will now step out!
[suspenseful music playing]
This is Andjelija!
Today, she chooses her husband.
Andjelija, you may start!
[tense music playing]
Her brother is here to help her
choose the right one!
[suitor groans]
Don't! If he can't get up alone,
he's no good for marriage!
-Can I hit back?
-No.
Those who strike back
are immediately out.
You have to take it.
[grunts]
-[thudding]
-[suitor groans]
The hammer! We call the hammer!
The Ancient Law
gives us the right.
[man 5] They called the hammer!
If the suitor survives the blow,
he can take the bride!
[tense music continues]
What is the hammer?
You have to kneel down.
When you hear the g*nsh*t,
grab the bride
and run to the van.
[tense music intensifies]
[tense music continues]

-[g*nf*re]
-[crowd yelling]
-[g*nf*re]
[indistinct shouting]
[announcer]
Tower announcement!
The Ruler is dead!
I repeat! The Ruler is dead!
Turn over the assassin
who k*lled the Ruler,
Lord's father!
I repeat!
Turn over the assassin
who k*lled the Ruler!
Whoever turns over
the assassin will be rewarded!
You k*lled him.
Yes.
How did you get inside?
No one can get inside.
I can.
[eerie music playing]
Who gave you this?
[man 3] The Ruler will be buried
with the City's highest honors.
[mournful music playing]
Lord.
From this day on,
you are the Ruler of the City!
I will give my life for my City.
For your City!
I am the City.
The City is mine. I am the City.
-For the City!
-[man 3] For the City!
You fulfilled your mission.
We keep our word.
What's going on here?
John...
I don't know what kind of taxes
your Grainmen had to pay
to the City.
Our taxes are cruel.
Our obligation...
every couple of years...
is to give...
to the City...
one of our children.
Each family gives
their firstborn as a toll.
They can raise
the other children freely.
Why all this, then?
In the morning,
Suna and Vojkan
have to send their child.
They had the right to find
a substitute mother.
A woman who would give birth to
a child to be sent as a toll
instead of their child.
But we snatched the wrong woman.
I was a sl*ve. Planted as bait.
I had to act as a bride
and keep quiet to stay alive.
A Poisoner?
I'm not one of them. Look.
See?
That's from the Rains.
It's normal.
Many people have this.
This is the sign
of the Poisoner.
What would happen to her
if she was the right one?
[tense pensive music playing]
What do you want?
Didn't they pay you?
I want the woman.
You know that,
if you bed with her,
you can die.
I want her.
How much do you want?
She's not worth
even five b*ll*ts.
[John] I'll give you ten.
Your tribe is strange...
the Grainmen.
Bring her in.
He wants her badly.
Do you know where the City is?
I do.
Will you take me there?
That will cost you.
When we get there, you're free.
[eerie music playing]
[woman]
Have you heard of the Wellmen?
[John] No.
[woman] That's my tribe.
We guarded the Eastern Wells.
Then, the Poisoners came.
And everything fell apart.
There was nothing left to guard.
We scattered all over the world.
Are you even listening to me?
I'll take a bath.
Right here?
Why not? The water is clean.
Where do you want me to be?
You can be here,
just don't watch.
[John]
If you want to stay with me,
you need to learn
to defend yourself.
I know how to defend myself.
[John] No, you don't.
How do you think
I survived until now?
You were very lucky,
or you missed the right one.
[footsteps receding]
[gentle music playing]
Like what you see?
John, we need to talk.
I need some sleep.
And I have to stay awake.
I can either stare at the fire
or stare at the darkness.
[John] That's the only way
to be safe.
That's the only way
to be sleepy.
How did your Grainmen live?
Did you have
any brothers, any sisters?
You never talk about yourself.
It's as if you never existed.
[John] We lived in
the Northern Desert Belt...
and our tribe was called
the Grainmen.
Our chief was the Harbinger.
We got our name because
our tribe guarded the grain.
Wheat seed.
In the post-fire Rains era,
grain was
more precious than gold.
Because that seed
spawned new seeds.
It produced new life.
The Harbinger was my father,
and my sister was named Maria.
Keeping the agreement
made with the City,
we lived as free people.
But this freedom
was attractive to many others.
I'll keep an eye on you, kid.
Do you hear me?
[John] My father took under
his wing the boy from the City.
We called him...
Outlander.
We protected our freedom
with the All-Seeing Sword.
[intense music playing]
John...
[g*nf*re]
[John] Gangs and wild tribes
kept attacking us,
trying to take
everything we had.
While defending our people,
my father
was seriously wounded.
[wooden staffs clashing]
[John] The time to prepare
the next generation had come.
Among the young ones,
two boys stood out.
Me and my friend, Bogdan.
Throw down your sticks!
Do you really think the Sword
will cast its gaze on you two?
[foreboding music playing]
[wooden staffs clashing]
We're alone now.
Do you want me
to bite your tongue out?
[John] Years passed by.
The City wanted
a new agreement.
From now on, you'll send
only indigenous seeds.
[John] But there are some
things that cannot be signed.
You will reap
just what you sow.
You should know that
better than anyone else.
[Harbinger] Freedom doesn't
come easy, John.
It's much easier being a sl*ve.
They want to take away from us
even the graves
we haven't dug out yet.
How can I give that to anyone?
[John] The w*r was approaching.
John, you're the only one
who can stop this.
[John]
My sister was against it.
But my father made
his decision.
Tomorrow...
the All-Seeing Sword
will choose.
[foreboding music continues]
[John] I did what the Sword
chose me for.
But there's always
that one bad apple.
Outlander teamed up
with the City Vassals.
But my father
didn't tolerate any betrayal.
Go.
Go back to where you came from.
You're making a big mistake.
[intense music playing]
The Estate is poorly guarded.
This is your chance to strike.
[John] I arrived at the Vassal
stronghold to complete the task
I was chosen to do
by the Sword.
[tense music playing]
But the treacherous Outlander
was faster.
-[blade slashes]
-[body thuds]
[g*nsh*t]
[John] The Bloodheads, led by
the Ensign, looted our home.
[expl*si*n]
[John] The Grainmen lost,
and my father was k*lled.
Our houses were
burned to the ground.
But we were not
completely vanquished.
Some of us survived
because we lived
by the ways of our elders.
[eerie lute music playing]
[laughing]
What's so funny?
What happened to them,
that's funny.
So... the Ensign took the Sword?
[kid] The evildoer
indeed had the Sword.
Many good men were slain
while he held it.
But, same as before,
the Sword waited.
And when the time came...
it chose the Worthy One.
Hey, Lute Player.
Sing about the Sword.
Tell him to go fast-forward.
We don't need
to know everything.
[eerie music playing]
[indistinct chatter]
[man 6] Each year...
our tribe has
a traditional gathering
to choose new people
for the City.
Today, you have a chance
to show how brave you are.
Those who are skillful enough
and strong enough...
will come with us.
The battles will be fought
in the ring.
If anyone starts a fight
outside the ring,
my people will sh**t them.
Let the tournament begin!
-[crowd cheering]
-[intense music playing]
[crowd cheering]
[crowd cheering]
-[roars]
-[crowd cheering]
[whistling]
[Ensign] Hello, there!
Bravo!
Put your g*ns down.
Have you forgotten the former
leader of the Bloodheads?
What do you want, Ensign?
Mason, the brave one...
Your new leader.
He has always been brave
but far from the battle.
All these things
they say to you...
they lie!
All of it is a lie!
I used to lead the Bloodheads.
I thought I had
the power to do anything.
But in reality...
I was a servant of
every Ruler in the Tower!
Will they sh**t if
I k*ll him outside the ring?
You've got
nothing to fear, Ensign.
You're right.
[crowd cheering]
[crowd cheering]
Ensign! Ensign!
Ensign! Ensign!
Let's go.
[crowd] Ensign! Ensign!
Ensign! Ensign!
Ensign! Ensign!
-[John] Hey... that's my Sword.
-[crowd] Ensign! Ensign!
-Ensign! Ensign!
-What did you say?
That's mine.
No.
[crowd] Ensign! Ensign!
Stop!
He claims that
this sword belongs to him.
[laughter]
[Ensign] This one, here!
We'll fight for it. If I win...
you'll give it back to me.
What do you have to offer?
Her.
What? Are you crazy?
She's worth the trouble.
Get in.
You can't do this! No!
No, you can't! No!
How dare you do this?
You don't own me!
Don't worry. I'll win.
I hope he kills you.
[crowd cheering]
[indistinct chatter]
Don't stop playing.
[bagpipe music playing]
-[crowd cheering]
-[rapid bagpipe music playing]
Watch out!
[crowd cheering]
[bagpipe music stops]
[crowd cheering] Yeah!
Is there anyone else here
who wants his sword back?
[crowd cheering]
[intense music playing]
You're mine now!
[John] Leave her.
-[ominous music playing]
-[crowd roaring]
-[ominous music ends]
-[crowd gasps]
-[sharp metallic swish]
-[crowd falls silent]
[crowd cheering frantically]
[John] I told you
to play without stopping.
-[serene bagpipe music playing]
-[crowd roaring]
[footsteps approaching]
You stupid fool! Fool!
[crowd applauding]
[eerie music playing]
Maria of the Grainmen.
You remember me?
[man 3] So, you know
who the assassin is?
Follow me.
[banging on door]
[intense music playing]
[man 3] Bloodhead says she knows
who the assassin is.
Lord, this is Maria.
[Lord] Speak.
[Maria] Lord, I know
who the assassin is.
I demand grand justice for him.
This means calling the Council.
That is my right.
Call the Council.
Lord, it could take days, weeks!
All the Council members
are already in the Tower.
Call them.
[Maria] Lord, the assassin
had this with him.
This is the Tower blueprint.
A detailed plan of the way
to the Ruler's chambers.
And of all the secret
passages in the Tower.
Where did you get this paper?
The real question is,
who can draw this plan?
Me, the Herald, and Outlander.
[Lord] What are you doing?
I trusted her.
I trusted her, and she betrayed
her tribe, her family, me, you.
Forgive me.
-It's not your fault.
-Yes, it is my fault!
-[sharp squelch]
-[intense music playing]
I'm the guilty one.
[sharp squelch]
I'm sorry.
[body thuds]
I've done it for you, my love.
Stay with me.
We'll rule together.
We have the City, everything.
Everyone will know about this.
[Outlander] Maria! Wait!
Stay with me.
We've got everything now.
This is what we came for.
Remember?
k*ll me.
If you don't,
I'll tell everyone about this.
[Outlander] Why are you doing
this to me? Why, my love?
Why are you so crazy?
[intense music playing]
Guards! Guards! Guards! Guards!
-[alarm blaring]
-[music intensifies]
[intense music softens]
She k*lled him!
She k*lled him! Get her!
[alarm blaring]
Do you still
want to be the Herald?
Get her!
[intense music playing]
[light bagpipe melody]
Hero, congratulations.
-Where do you come from?
-From afar.
Your deed will make you known
in the most distant places.
What is your name?
John.
John...
My good John...
Would you join the Bloodheads?
We can meet all your needs.
A roof over your head.
Decent work.
Everything the City
has to offer.
We're leaving in the morning.
Have some rest now.
You deserve it.
[bagpipe melody continues]
[cheerful bagpipe playing]
[ominous music playing]
[foreboding music playing]
[Herald] Outlander...
As of today, you are
the new Ruler of the City.
I will give my life
for the City.
The City is mine
and I am the City!
[intense music playing]
[indistinct chatter]
Where's the Sword?
What?
Where's the Sword?
It was between us.
I don't know.
What do you mean you don't know?
I don't.
That's what I'm talking about.
Your lack of caution.
Now it's my fault
you lost your sword?
It was stolen.
You're up early.
What is it?
Someone stole his sword.
Stole it?
Last night I saw...
What?
I saw a man...
with a sword in his hand.
Which man?
I don't know his name.
I saw him walk out,
run out with a sword.
Why didn't you stop him
or wake me up?
Boy, I mind my own business,
I don't interfere in
other people's affairs.
I don't know what
you two were doing there.
But for a small reward,
I could take you to him.
You said you don't know him.
I don't know his name.
But maybe I could
remember where he is from.
The deal is off.
[eerie music playing]
We're here. This is the home
of the Back Eyed.
[tense music playing]
Halt!
Drop down your weapon!
I don't like
these people at all.
[intense music playing]
Is that you?
John...
You're alive.
What's that?
It's a long story.
[Bogdan] I'm sorry
it turned out this way.
I took his body.
Buried him here.
I hear you k*lled the Ensign.
I wish I'd done that.
What about the Sword?
That's why you're here?
Yes, for the Sword.
[eerie music playing]
[music intensifies]
A regular morning announcement?
Yes...
But you start and end
with the "wanted" part.
Until further notice.
Yes, sir.
Tower announcement!
Wanted,
Maria of the Bloodheads!
She k*lled the Lord!
For any valid information
about her,
Outlander offers a reward...
in gold!
[announcer] The person
who brings the assassin,
dead or alive,
to the Tower,
beside gold,
will get a Tower job!
[music fades]
[man 7]
She tried to steal the Sword.
That was not stealing!
It belongs to us!
-You'll pay for it.
-[John] She won't.
I told her to do it.
What is she to you?
My wife.
[John] Bogdan...
[intense music building]
The Sword has chosen me.
I must have it.
Give me the Sword
and come with me to the City.
Why there?
To bring Maria back.
[Bogdan] She went there
by her own free will.
No one abducted her.
That was her choice.
I'm going to the City,
with or without you.
But one thing is certain.
I'm taking the Sword.
How do you plan to get it?
Any way I have to.
If it needs to choose again,
let it choose.
The Sword has never chosen
the same man twice.
Bring the sticks.
[music intensifies]
Stop!
[intense music continues]
[dramatic music building]
[indistinct announcement]
[indistinct announcement]
Well, here it is. The City.
You don't look
very happy about it.
I didn't imagine it like this.
Neither did I.
[announcer] Outlander offers
the greatest treasure
of the Old World.
[ambient chatter]
[discordant music playing]
[indistinct whispering]
What can you do?
Have you got any skills?
I can do various things.
City tribes are always looking
for warriors.
Have you fought in a w*r?
Yes.
So, you're economizing.
You're saving b*ll*ts,
so you fight with that sword.
You must've achieved a lot.
I k*lled the Ensign.
Don't talk nonsense.
I chopped his head off
with this Sword.
[man 8] You?
I can claim that I k*lled
an entire City tribe.
Did you do it?
You know what?
Just turn around and go.
You will not enter the City.
-This one, here.
-He k*lled the Ensign?
He claims so.
The Ensign saved
my mother's life.
I owe him.
If you k*lled him,
let's go outside to verify this.
[man 8] Go.
If you really did k*ll him,
this one will be no trouble.
I won't k*ll a man
who hasn't harmed me.
He didn't harm you...
But he plans on harming her.
[tense music building]
Touch her and lose your arm.
[music swells]
[man screaming in pain]
[man 9]
Men with skill and strength...
are always welcome to our tribe.
You're with us, now.
[intense music playing]
[intense music continues]
[crowd cheering indistinctly]
[yelling]
[eerie lute music playing]
[music fades]
[man 4] All right,
Lute Player...
I believe you.
I know some parts of this song.
You put it
a bit differently, though.
[man] Head...
You're not listening.
No. You're not listening.
We'll stay here until I hear
what I want to hear.
Is that clear?
Yes. We'll do it your way.
We'll listen to another lie?
[Head] Okay. So, John
got to see his sister.
What happened next?
The Lute Player is tired.
Hey, Lute Player...
You're forgetting that
you sing for your lives.
So far, you've done a fine job.
Don't let the fatigue
turn this song...
into your last one.
He needs to wash his face.
[eerie music playing]
[music swells]
[kid] They don't know what lies
beneath their feet.
[music fades]
Let him continue.
[dramatic music building]
[g*nf*re]
[body thuds]
Go on.
[lute music playing]
[music fades]
[footsteps approaching]
[door closes]
[Mason] Outlander...
The Soaked sheltered her
all this time.
[staff thumping]
The next move is--
[Mason] I'll find and punish
the Soaked culprits.
No... No.
[Outlander] Your task...
It's not to find
the Soaked culprits.
Your task is to
exterminate them.
Every last one of them.
After their defeat,
those who refuse to unmask
or leave the City
will be k*lled.
The Tower will help you.
[Mason] It will be done.
[footsteps receding]
[Herald] Outlander...
This means... civil w*r.
Yes, that's what it's called.
This won't turn out well.
Too bad the Tower doesn't assign
the title of the Prophet.
I would promote you now.
The City provides shelter
for all kinds of people.
Those who honor the City laws
are also honored by the City.
Where are the children
I requested?
The City laws are designed
to prevent such w*r.
What do City laws say
about disobeying the Ruler?
Where do the children of
the Tower's traitors end up?
Hmm?
[door closes]
Tower announcement!
Due to the unauthorized hiding
of the Ruler's assassin,
the Tower declares w*r
on the Soaked tribe!
I repeat, the Tower declares
w*r on the Soaked tribe!
[Mason] Call all our men.
-All?
-All.
Yes, sir.
Is that the one?
[Mason] We'll push the Soaked
against the wall.
[wife] Yes.
[Mason]
We'll clean all the buildings.
-[John] He'll help me.
-[Mason] Is that clear?
John, there will be w*r.
[eerie music playing]
We'll use that.
[Mason] Spread the word.
Those who help them
will be banished
from the City forever.
John.
John from afar.
With you on our side,
our victory is guaranteed.
Bloodheads.
This is the man who has slain
the tribe's traitor
with his sword.
This is John...
who k*lled the Ensign.
[crowd cheering indistinctly]
Maria, lately,
I've been thinking
mostly about one thing.
What am I leaving behind?
Because all the power,
the Tower, the City,
that's all worthless.
Without people,
it's all in vain.
[clears throat]
[door closes]
Only you
can bear a child for me.
We both know that.
Only you can do it.
Do that one thing for me...
and you'll be free
to go wherever you want.
Only you.
[eerie music continues]
[music swells]
[Mason] Bloodheads!
Ever since ancient times,
we have been the only g*ng
in the City!
We proved to be
the best guardians of the City!
We always did
whatever the Tower requested!
[intense music playing]
[sobbing silently]
[Mason]
Now, the Tower requests that
we clean the City
from the Soaked!
[crowd cheering]
[thunderous cheering]
This is the day when
we destroy the Soaked!
Once and for all!
[rousing cheers]
[Soaked chief] They want
to drive us out of the City.
To annihilate us.
They treat us
like we carry a plague.
But we will defend ourselves.
This City is our home!
This will be the ultimate w*r
for the City!
Get up. It's time.
[crowd cheering, shouting]
[rousing shouting]
Back to the Tower!
Back to the Tower! Back!
[crowd cheering, shouting]
[screaming]
[wind howling]
Hey, Head. Listen to me.
Please. He's lying.
He's a dirty liar.
[body thuds]
He speaks only what suits him.
But he avoids
the truth like a coward.
He slanders
those he doesn't like.
[Head] So, Lute Player...
Go ahead and sing.
[wind howling]
[eerie music playing]
Continue.
[eerie music playing]
[music fades]
You must be by my side,
at all times!
[wife] You saw it! I can do it!
I can fight, just like you.
[Herald] Hey, Grainman.
Or you're a Bloodhead now?
You know very well who I am.
And I know
who you're looking for.
[indistinct chatter]
Your sister.
She's on top of the Tower.
Outlander keeps her there.
I can take you up there.
I can help you.
No need. I can do it myself.
Grainman, listen.
People here can't move around
without a permit.
And I... I have
access to every floor.
What do you want in return?
I want to go with you.
You have a sister there
kept as a prisoner.
I have my children there.
Outlander holds my children.
I need you.
Take us there.
[intense music playing]
[music fades]
[door opens]
I'm taking
the new Bloodheads guards up.
Stop!
Where are their permits?
Not issued yet.
I can't let them through, then.
Are you going to tell Outlander
why his guards are late?
That you're the one
who disobeys orders?
Pass through.
I let the Herald
and two Bloodheads pass.
[intense music playing]
[static crackling over radio]
[intense music continues]
[Herald] Outlander ordered me
to bring two more guards.
[fast, suspenseful
music playing]
[music fades]
-[alarm blaring]
-[intense music playing]
[Soaked chief] If we want to
remain in the City,
the Tower must fall.
The Tower will fall
only if we destroy
everything around it.
If the City must burn
to be resurrected,
then let it burn!
[suspenseful music swells]
[alarm blaring]
-[music fades]
-[alarm blaring continues]
We need to find
a working elevator.
There's a bunch of them,
but only one line works.
That's for better security.
Why don't we go on foot?
We will never reach
the top of the Tower on foot.
[ominous music playing]
[g*nf*re]
[wife] John!
[John] Angela!
[g*nf*re]
[John] Angela!
Angela!
[discordant music playing]
[music fades]
Maria...
This is not how
I wanted it to be.
But our child will be perfect.
A role model for all other kids.
He will take the City
to a brighter future.
[door opens]
We caught her
running around the Tower.
Where?
Around the seventh floor.
They k*lled some of our people.
[Outlander] Who k*lled them?
The man who slain the Ensign...
They say he's Grainman
named John.
He carries a sword.
The Herald joined them.
Take care of it.
[door closes]
What is John to you?
My husband.
What are you and your husband
doing in my house?
Hmm?
What's your name?
Angela.
This is Maria.
Your sister-in-law.
[intense music playing]
[Soaked chief] To the Tower!
[crowd cheering]
-[yelling]
-[distant g*nf*re]
-[alarm blaring]
-[intense music continues]
[frenzied cheering, shouting]
[crowd shouting]
My sons are here.
[intense music playing]
[sharp metallic swish]
Daddy!
I need to get them out of here.
Speak.
The ground floor has fallen.
They are climbing up.
Send all men... with firearms
to the lower floors.
Send my personal guard
to the top of the Tower.
[Mason] Open up!
[door closes]
And so, our family is moving.
[dramatic music building]
[footsteps running]
[guard 1 screaming]
[guard 2 screaming]
[body thuds]
[distant footsteps]
[guard 3 shouting]
-[sword slashing]
-[blood dripping]
[body thuds]
[thunder rumbles]
John!
[thunder rumbles]
Welcome, John.
Glad to see you.
I'm sorry to see you
coming here as my enemy.
You could've come as family.
Because we're all family, here.
[thunder rumbles]
[Outlander] One small,
happy family living in harmony.
I've always believed...
that the found family means more
than the one you come from.
My found family was good to me.
They raised me, fed me,
became my own.
But my dreams
don't feed on grain.
Just let her go.
Too late for that, John.
[thunder rumbles]
[thunder rumbles]
[swords clashing]
[thunder rumbles]
[flesh squelching]
[thunder rumbles]
[soft, somber music playing]
[inaudible]
[music swells]
[music fades]
Lute Player...
Everything you sang about until
now... has been the truth.
But now, you're not
telling us something.
Finally, he's back to life.
[Head] The Will of the Son.
It doesn't end like that, right?
[kisses]
Come on.
Show them. They have to see it.
See what? That's only a story.
Butcher, I expected that,
of all men, you'll understand.
[soft, somber music playing]
[Butcher]
You fought everywhere, right?
You mean k*lled?
Yes, everywhere.
-You've been in the City?
-Yes.
[Butcher] You knew Outlander?
[Head]
Before he became the Controller.
Then,
how can you believe anything
this old Lute Player sings
makes any sense?
[soft music playing]
Because he sings well.
-[epic music playing]
-[thunder rumbles]
[soft music playing]
This is John,
the Harbinger's son.
[epic music playing]
[music fades]
[wind howling]
Where are you going
with that spade?
Is it here?
[man 10] What?
Don't dig in my tavern!
This is not a tavern.
This is a tomb.
[eerie music playing]
He went mad.
The Will seduced him.
[dramatic music playing]
The Sword.
Do you believe me now?
Do you know its value?
We won't have to work
for the rest of our lives.
[laughs]
Stop.
Tell him to put down the sword.
Tell him.
Let's go.
Tell him to put it down,
or I'll k*ll you all!
Did you hear him?
Put down the sword,
I'll k*ll the kid!
[intense music playing]
The Sword doesn't want you.
[music stops]
Hey, bartender.
Give him some water.
[footsteps receding]
[wind howling]
[eerie music playing]
[engine starting]
[intense music playing]
[music fades]
[Herald]
"My family fought with the City.
I saw both sides. I saw death.
If you want me to rule the City,
you'll have to change.
Our duty is to
preserve the City
for those who will come
after us.
There will be
no more Bloodheads.
No more Soaked.
There will be just humans.
Just us."
[intense music playing]
[John] The Last w*r
has destroyed the world.
Only a few grains remained
to create new life.
The Sword remained, too,
passed down from forefathers
to see and to choose.
[intense music continues]
[John] And, as always,
it has chosen the Worthy One.
It chose my son,
just as it chose me...
just as it chose my father.
It will continue to choose.
But that is some other song.
That song is yet to be sung.
[intense outro music playing]
