03x04 - Chapter 20: The Foundling

Post by bunniefuu »

ARMORER: I swear on my name and
the names of the ancestors...


"I swear on my name and the
names of the ancestors..."

ARMORER: That I shall walk
the Way of the Mand'alor...


THE MANDALORIAN AND BOY: "That I
shall walk the Way of the Mand'alor..."

PAZ VIZSLA: Din Djarin claims to
have bathed in the Living Waters.


ARMORER: He speaks the truth.

(GRUNTS)

Din Djarin, you are redeemed.

And Bo-Katan Kryze,
you too are redeemed.

BO-KATAN: But I do not walk the Way.

ARMORER: Did you bathe in the waters?

BO-KATAN: I did.

And have you removed your helmet since?

BO-KATAN: No.

Then you may join our covert.

Welcome, Bo-Katan of Clan Kryze.

You are one of us.

(INTENSE MUSIC PLAYING)

- (BLASTERS f*ring)

(ALL GRUNTING)

JUDGE: Again. Again!

JUDGE: Submission.

Winner.

(BLASTERS f*ring)

(WHOOSHING)

INSTRUCTOR: Again. One, two, three...

(SCRAPING)

(COOING)

(BREATHING HEAVILY)

(COOING)

(COOING)

Put down the rocks, kid.

It's time that you learn
with the other foundlings.

(COOING)

Playtime's over.

I'm gonna need you to focus.

(GROGU COOING)

(CHILDREN GRUNTING)

Next challenger.

(COOING)

(CHILDREN GRUNTING)

JUDGE: Winner!

(BABBLING)

BO-KATAN: Are you sure
this is a good idea?

THE MANDALORIAN: If he is ever to
rise from foundling to apprentice,

he must learn.

Judge!

He challenges.

JUDGE: He is too small.

I am his ward. Proceed.

(COOING)

JUDGE: What w*apon?

THE MANDALORIAN: Let
the challenged decide.

- BOY: Darts.
- JUDGE: Bring the training darts.

Why doesn't he wear a helmet?

THE MANDALORIAN: He is too
young to speak the Creed,

and so, too young to wear a helmet.

Then he's too young to fight.

(COOING)

THE MANDALORIAN: "One does
not speak unless one knows."

Is that not the Creed?

Well, I know.

Perhaps this lesson is for you, then.

COVERT MANDALORIAN: The training darts.

Fighters, arm yourselves.

Don't worry.

My dad was the same way.

He's just proud of you.

You take it easy on him, kid.

Each has three darts.

You may fire the darts in any order.

Each direct hit scores one point.

A mark must be visible to score.

One round. Highest score wins.

Squeeze your fist to launch the darts.

- (COOING)
- THE MANDALORIAN: You'll be fine.

BO-KATAN: He doesn't
know how to fire darts?

THE MANDALORIAN: He's got this. Trust me.

JUDGE: Ready.

Begin!

(GRUNTS)

Point!

(COOING)

Don't look at me. Look at him.

JUDGE: Ready.

- Begin! Point!
- (GRUNTS)

Grogu, I've seen what you can do.

It's okay. Show them.

(COOING)

JUDGE: Ready.

Begin!

Whoa!

JUDGE: Three points. Winner!

- (CROWD APPLAUDS)
- There you go.

Did you teach him that?

THE MANDALORIAN: Not me.

PAZ VIZSLA: "One doesn't
speak unless one knows."

(BOY SIGHS)

Great job, kid.

(SCREECHING)

(WIND WHOOSHING)

(BOY SCREAMING)

(FRANTIC CHATTER)

PAZ VIZSLA: No blasters,
it will k*ll the child.

Follow it to its lair.

(JETPACKS WHOOSHING)

(GRUNTS)

PAZ VIZSLA: I'm out of fuel.

It always gets away.

(CREATURE SCREECHING)

(WHOOSHING)

(WHOOSHING)

BO-KATAN: I kept a high altitude
and followed it to its lair.

I know how to get there.

We should muster up a hunting
party and go after him.

I scouted where it lives
and mapped the location.

There.

(BEEPING)

The nest.

THE MANDALORIAN: It flew a long way.

BO-KATAN: I will go get him.

PAZ VIZSLA: The mountains are too high.

If we use jetpacks, the beast will hear.

ARMORER: It would k*ll the child.

BO-KATAN: These are no higher
than the peaks of Kyrimorut.

I used to climb them in basic training.

I'll fly to the foothills, scale
the rest of the way on foot.

THE MANDALORIAN: I'll join you.

ARMORER: Paz Vizsla,

enjoin the Shriek-hawk
Training team to accompany you.

I will pack extended
lariats for your launchers.

We must avoid expl*sives and blasters
for the safety of the foundling.

(WHOOSHING)

You are too young to join them.

(COOING)

All in good time.

Come, Grogu.

If you wish to become a Mandalorian,

there is much work to attend to.

(GROGU PANTING)

(GRUNTS)

This is the Forge.

It is the heart of Mandalorian culture.

Just as we shape the Mandalorian
steel, we shape ourselves.

We all begin as raw ore.

We refine ourselves through
trials and adversity.

(CONSOLE BEEPING)

The Forge can reveal weaknesses.

JEDI : Get him to Kelleran!

(LIGHTSABERS HUMMING)

(JEDI GRUNTS)

(BLASTERS f*ring)

JEDI : The elevator! Get
the youngling to Kelleran! Go!

(JEDI GRUNTS)

(GROGU COOING)

(BEEPS)

Everything's gonna be all right, kid.

(COOING)

CLONE TROOPER: We've got one
fleeing on sub-level platform .

Blast them!

(BLASTERS f*ring)

(TROOPERS GROAN)

(SCREAMS)

TROOPER : Over there! Stop them!

TROOPER : Don't let them escape!

(WHOOSHING)

(ENGINE SPUTTERING)

They hit the engine. This
is gonna get a little rough.

(BLASTERS f*ring)

(TRAIN HORN BLOWING)

(WOMAN YELPS)

(CROWD EXCLAIMING)

(COOS)

Don't worry.

We're gonna meet up with
some friends of mine.

But hold on, it's gonna
be a bumpy landing.

(GROANING)

(PANTING)

GUARD CAPTAIN: Kelleran Beq?

- They're right behind me.
- What about the others?

There are no others.

(WHOOSHING)

TROOPER: Everybody out. Move it. Move it.

Take the ship, it's
fueled and ready to go.

KELLERAN: Come on!

(GUARD GRUNTS)

(TROOPERS GRUNTING)

(HISSING)

(WHOOSHING)

(HAMMERING)

(GASPS)

(SIZZLING)

(CRACKLING)

ARMORER: It is a tradition in our culture

for each to donate a small portion

of what they earn to the foundlings.

It is with these scraps of beskar

that I forged your next piece of armor.

(COOING)

Mandalorian steel shall keep
you safe as you grow stronger.

You will grow into this rondel as you

grow into your station, foundling Grogu.

(COOING)

(WHOOSHING)

BO-KATAN: We'll continue
on foot from here.

Any closer, and it will hear the ship.

BO-KATAN: The target is
on the top of this peak.

If we tuck in under this outcropping,

we sleep out of line of sight,
and climb at first light.

PAZ VIZSLA: We will make camp.

- (FIRE CRACKLING)
- (INDISTINCT CHATTER)

(SOFTLY) How do you eat
when other people are around?

THE MANDALORIAN: You don't.

When you get your food,

you go off to find a place where
you can take off your helmet.

PAZ VIZSLA: You are the
leader of the w*r party.

You have the honor of
staying by the fire.

This is the Way.

BO-KATAN: The raptor's lair
is atop the highest peak.

Now, our hope is that
the child is still alive

so we have to make sure
not to fire on the raptor.

PAZ VIZSLA: It will k*ll
the foundling if att*cked.

It has happened before
when it has taken others.

Our best bet is stealth.

Our jetpacks will alert
it to our presence.

Let's move.

(ALL GRUNTING)

(GRUNTING)

(GRUNTING)

BO-KATAN: It's not
here. Let's find the kid.

(BEEPING)

I see a heat source there.

(PAZ VIZSLA GRUNTING)

BO-KATAN: Wait until we clear the area.

PAZ VIZSLA: He's my son.

(SHOUTING) Ragnar! Ragnar! Ragnar!

(SCREECHING)

(JAWS CHOMPING)

(BELLOWING)

(GAGGING)

RAGNAR: Help me!

PAZ VIZSLA: He's alive!

(WHOOSHING)

(RAGNAR SCREAMS)

RAGNAR: Help!

(WHOOSHING)

(PAZ VIZSLA GRUNTING)

(CREATURE SCREECHING)

Take my hand!

PAZ VIZSLA: Are you okay?

RAGNAR: I'm okay, Dad.

- PAZ VIZSLA: Thank you.
- THE MANDALORIAN: This is the Way.

PAZ VIZSLA: This is the Way.

ARMORER: Come, Grogu.

(MECHANICAL WHIRRING)

(ALL CHEERING)

(CLANKING)

(COOS)

(CLANKING)

ARMORER: Bo-Katan Kryze,

you have honored your
House and all of Mand'alor.

You have done the highest
honor of the Creed.

Saving a foundling.

BO-KATAN: This is the Way.

This is the Way.

And we have brought you
three more foundlings

in need of care and training.

Is that so?

(BOTH GRUNTING)

(HATCHLINGS SCREECHING)

(CROWD EXCLAIMING)

ARMORER: You're in need of a repair.

Come with me.

ARMORER: I can replace what's missing,

but not with its modern refinements.

- Shall I inlay the signet of the Nite Owl?
- (SIZZLING)

Would it be acceptable to wear
one pauldron of the Nite Owl

and another with the Mythosaur?

The Mythosaur belongs
to all Mandalorians.

It is always acceptable to wear.

I would like that.

(HISSING)

(CLANKS)

(CRACKLING)

What would you say if
I told you I saw one?

That you saw what?

A Mythosaur.

I would say you're very lucky.

It is a noble vision.

BO-KATAN: No, I...

I mean a real one.

Beneath the Living Waters on Mand'alor.

ARMORER: When you choose to
walk the Way of the Mand'alor,

you will see many things.

BO-KATAN: But it was real.

This is the Way.
