04x06 - Twilight of the Wolf

[bunniefuu]

[dramatic music playing]

[heavy creaking]

[energy surging]

[intense rumbling]

Today, the witches of Montecalvo

pay the price for their lack of vision.

Today, we take them by surprise…

and slaughter them.

[loud cheering]

[wind gusting]

-[woman 1] Whoa!
-[woman 2] That's it.

[dramatic music playing]

[women calling out]

It's time.

[energy crackling]

Their hearts are true.

They will die for this cause
if you let them.

Then I will not let them.

[music swells]

Novices, shield!

[all inhale]

[all speaking in Elder]

[power surging]

[speaking in Elder]

[speaking in Elder]

[novices speaking in Elder]

[grunts]

[crashing]

[novices gasp]

[Vilgefortz scoffs]

Quaint. Let's show them
what true Chaos can do.

Make your power mine.

[energy humming]

[yells]

[novices speaking in Elder]

[Yennefer] At least you're predictable.

[Vilgefortz] I need more.

[power fading]

-[straining]
-[energy crackling]

[echoing] More!

-[all groan]
-[energy hissing]

[mage] Behold his power.

-[Vilgefortz roars]
-[power crackles]

-[power zapping]
-[novices gasping]

[novices continue speaking in Elder]

Sorceresses! Druids! Witches! To arms!

[Sabrina] Druids! Sorceresses!

-At arms!
-[Ximer] Sorceresses! Druids! Witches!

To arms!

[cries out]

[novice 1] It's okay. Hold.

Enough! Pull them back!

-No!
-[woman] You've got to--

-We can hold out longer. Please!
-I'll help you.

-No…
-We have to.

The longer we last,
the weaker they become.

[Yennefer] She's right.

Keep steady.

[sobs]

[speaking in Elder]

[speaking in Elder]

[grunts]

-[grunts]
-[mages straining]

[Vilgefortz yells]

[novices speaking in Elder]

It won't be long now.

[speaking in Elder]

For Ciri.

[grunting]

-Hold!
-[speaking in Elder]

[cries out]

[yells]

[speaking in Elder]

Hold!

-[novices screaming]
-Hold!

[roars]

-[shield's power fading]
-[novices screaming]

[Triss] Girls! You're okay. You're okay.

Get them to safety.
They've done their job.

As fast as you can. Come on.

-[Margarita] Quick, girls.
-Find shelter.

-Hurry! They're coming!
-[Margarita] Quickly!

-Today, we fight for our future!
-[cheering]

Keep coming. Come on! Keep going!

[Triss] Novices, go! Go! Go!

Today, we avenge Tissaia.

Today, Vilgefortz dies.

[Vilgefortz] Yennefer of Vengerberg
is mine.

You can take the rest.

Go.

[dramatic music playing]

[whooshing]

[yelling]

-[yelps]
-[crack]

[screams]

-[Vesemir] Secure the courtyard.
-[Coen] You two, come with me!

[Vilgefortz] Go! Go!

Traitors.

[thrilling music playing]

-[leader] Go! Come on!
-[novice 1] Go, go, go!

Quickly, girls! Come on! Go!

Quick!

[shrieks]

[screams] No!

-[yelling]
-[grunts]

[roars]

-[Margarita] That way.
-Go! Quickly, go!

Keep moving and keep going!
Take them, Triss! Do it!

[Yennefer screams] No!

[novices screaming]

Margarita!

Rita.

-You're okay.
-[breathing shakily]

-[whimpers]
-[Philippa] No!

Margarita! My friend…

Finish this.

[whimpers]

No…

No! No!

[distant screams]

[Vilgefortz] More!

More!

Where the f*ck is Vilgefortz? Huh?

-Without him, this plan will not work.
-He'll come!

He wants to see me die.

[whooshing]

[creaking]

[mage yells]

[screams]

-[Triss gasping]
-[croaking]

[squelching]

This battle won't be won here.

Let's go hunting.

[thrilling music playing]

Yennefer!

[Ximer roars]

Those f*cking cowards!

I'll get them my second go round.

-[whooshing]
-Not if they keep portaling away.

I'll handle this.

[distant rumbling]

[soft creaking]

[Yennefer] Fringilla. [gasps]

[panting]

Every time we attack,
Vilgefortz's mages disappear.

Without portals, we will lose the day.

You must rouse yourself.

Find a way to restore them
so we have a chance.

-[yelling]
-[crashing]

[Assire] You are not nice!

-[mage grunts]
-[shrieks]

[Assire] Coming down!

[power surges]

[Assire] Oh!

[Sabrina gasps]

[grunts]

[mage yelps]

[Assire] Heads up!

Hmm!

[panting]

Where are you, you piece of sh*t?

[Vilgefortz] Well, it's time
to crash the party.

[leader] Follow me! Come on!
The safe route is down here.

-Down here! Come on! Come on!
-[novices gasping]

[leader] Come on! Down to the catacombs!

Let us go back out there.

-Let us fight!
-You aren't ready!

Students as stupid as their teachers.

-[novices gasp]
-[novice 1] He's--

-[leader] Let them go!
-[mage cackling]

[both grunt]

[mage] Do I strike you
as the charitable type?

[novices whimpering]

[poignant music playing]

-[crunch]
-[leader gasps]

-[cracking]
-[novices gasping]

[creaking]

[leader whimpers]

[novice 2] Let us help!

[novices screaming, muffled]

Wait!

-[screaming]
-No!

No! No! No!

No! Let us go!

-[novice 3, sobbing] Please, please!
-[novice 2] No, please!

-[sighs]
-[novice 4 whispers] She's…

Oh!

[mage] Should have listened to teacher.

[novice 2] We've got to help.

[novice 1 gasps] Help.

Help!

[screaming echoing]

[menacing music playing]

[distant screaming]

[dynamic music playing]

[inhales]

[distant screaming continues]

[Vilgefortz exhales]

[music fades]

[water dripping]

[man 1] Is she dead?

[man 2] She will be
once the monolith drains her.

Let's get her up there, then.
Master's counting on us.

[chains clinking]

[suspenseful music playing]

[man 2] Like a charm.

Pure dimeritium
from the mines of Kovir and Poviss.

[man 1] I think she knows that.

[man 2] Must be hard knowing
that you can't turn us into snakes.

Vilgefortz will be very disappointed.

What was that, witch?

[grunting]

[gasps]

Like a charm.

[stone scraping]

[panting]

Istredd?

Istredd, I'm coming!

[Istredd] Fringilla?

Hold on!

-[whooshing]
-[clanking]

Istredd.

Yen needs you!
They're all trapped at Montecalvo.

[Istredd] Gods, what's he done to you?

We have to shut it down.

Vilgefortz used my work
to control the portals.

He created a spell.

I can undo it.

-[Fringilla] He'll just recast it.
-He can't.

He needs the book. Look at me.

Look at me.

Whoever survives this day,

this book must not.

[energy crackling]

[mage panting]

[speaking in Elder]

[whimpers]

[mage cries out]

[speaking in Elder]

[yelps]

f*ck! [groans]

f*ck! [gasping]

[groans] I'm not Vilgefortz.

I… I can't manipulate the portal
from the outside.

What does that mean? What does that mean?

[sighs]

I have to take her place.

[heavy creaking]

[sighs]

[Vilgefortz] Yennefer?

I know you're down here.

[Tissaia] Hello, old friend.

No cheap theatrics, Yennefer.

[Tissaia] I'm hurt.

Have you forgotten me already?

[yells] Come out!

And meet your fate!

[Tissaia] Have you nothing left for me?

No magic left
to do battle with an old flame?

[poignant music playing]

[Vilgefortz] Tissaia?

I've been told that this could hurt me
more than it will hurt you,

that I'm not that ruthless.

But I've been learning
more and more of myself.

And I am liking it.

[Vilgefortz] Illusion magic?

[grunts]

[sighs]

That was your plan?

-Pathetic.
-[mage] We have ravaged them.

The few survivors
have taken refuge in the keep.

You know what to do.

Burn this sh*thole to the ground.

Such a failure of judgment, Vilgefortz.

[voice changing] I… concur.

-[power zaps]
-[groans]

[Yennefer] That was our plan.

Thanks for telling us yours.

-[Vilgefortz groans]
-[Yennefer yells]

The f*ck doesn't care if we all die!
Even his own.

-[power surges]
-[Yennefer] I need him.

He will use forbidden magic.

Then we'll be ready.

Fringilla's at the portals.

Can you get to the old water tower?

Open the valve?

Why have you done all this?
All the bloodshed?

No need to answer.

I'll find out myself.

[power zapping]

-[groans]
-What do you want with Ciri?

[high-pitched ringing]

[screaming]

[Geralt yells]

[moaning]

I know all this!

And I know

she's your weakness.

[roars]

No.

[gasps]

She's not your weakness.

She's your destiny.

[high-pitched ringing intensifies]

[gasps]

You're connected.

[heavy creaking]

[screaming]

[moaning]

[screaming]

[wails]

[moans]

-[sobs]
-[whooshing]

[hissing]

[Yennefer gasps] No.

No!

[novices screaming]

[screaming and gasping]

School's out.

[dramatic music playing]

[music fades]

[dagger clatters]

[novices whimpering]

Get to the catacombs.

-Go! Go!
-[novice 1] Go, go.

-To safety!
-[novice 2] Go!

-Go!
-[Yennefer] Nikita!

[Sabrina] Yennefer!

Yennefer! Yen--

[energy surges]

[screeching and chittering]

[Yennefer] f*ck.

[Lambert] Yennefer, get back!

[Sabrina speaking in Elder]

[speaking in Elder]

Yennefer!

I'm glad you're alive.

-[Yennefer groans]
-I mean it. Where is everyone?

[Lambert] Any more monsters to slay?

[Sabrina] Plenty. Let's go.

[Lambert] Vesemir.

[sighs] You go.

I have my own battle to fight.

[Lambert] Come on, then!

[whooshing]

[Fringilla] Yen, we need you.

[Yennefer] Istredd?

You're alive! [sobs]

[Istredd] Yenna, listen to me.
I can defeat him.

If I can take away
his control of the portals,

Ciri will be safe.

[Fringilla] It's not that simple.

You have to talk him out of it.
He won't listen to me.

[Yennefer] I don't understand.

I need to be the conduit
to control it from within.

-You won't make it out alive.
-[Istredd] There is no other way.

You need to live.

For Ciri.

For all of us.

[choking]

-[mage grunts]
-[crunch]

[mournful music playing]

[screams]

[both scream]

[music fades]

[powerful crashing]

[dramatic music playing]

The patriarch of Kaer Morhen.

What an honor.

Why don't you

just shut the f*ck up…

and fight?

Hmm?

[clang]

-Really think you can win this, old man?
-Oh, I think I'll die trying.

Vilgefortz is winning

because of what I did.

This isn't your fault.

-[Istredd] He has to be stopped.
-No.

-This is the cost? I'll find another way.
-Yenna!

-[Triss] Yen.
-No.

[Triss] Come back!

[Istredd] There isn't another way.

-[Triss] Yen!
-[Yennefer gasps]

-Vesemir's in trouble. Come.
-[gasps]

[grunting]

Come on!

[Vilgefortz yells]

[Vesemir grunts]

[panting]

[Vesemir] For my son,

Geralt.

[groans]

-[growls]
-[gasping]

And that

was for me.

[Yennefer] Vesemir!

No!

[Philippa] It's showtime,
you crotchety dame.

I know it's been a century,

but let's you and I make
some magic together.

-Hmm?
-[creaking]

[yells]

-[creaking]
-[Philippa screams]

[Vilgefortz] So nice to see you…

all in one place.

Your resting place.

[speaking in Elder]

[dramatic music playing]

[screaming]

[Yennefer] Hold on.
We need to buy Philippa time.

[creaking]

[yells]

They'll drain themselves.

-Stay strong!
-[Coen] Stay closer!

[roaring]

[screams]

[straining]

[wails]

[screams]

Come on, Philippa!

You

will move!

-[creaking]
-[gasps]

Move!

[Philippa yells]

[screaming]

Portals would be really helpful right now.

[Yennefer] Hold!

Hold!

[wheezing]

[music fades]

Stay down!

I'll k*ll her myself.

Oh, you want to play?

I want to k*ll you.

-[Triss] Yen, please don't do this.
-[Sabrina] Yen, no!

-Don't!
-[Triss] Yennefer!

[Yennefer groans]

-[Triss] Yen!
-[Yennefer] I have to!

-[novice] Don't!
-[Yennefer] Stay back!

Play! Play!

[dramatic music playing]

[roaring]

[screaming]

-What's she doing? She's f*cked.
-[Yennefer whimpers]

-She's going to die.
-She's willing to.

[roars]

She's Tissaia now.

[screams]

[Fringilla] Istredd.

He did it.

[roaring]

-[energy surges]
-[Vilgefortz gasps]

[coughs]

Where are they?

[music swells]

No.

[power crackling]

Istredd! Stop!

Listen to me.

You think you understand this power,
but you don't.

[groans]

[Fringilla] Your portal block
is decimated.

-You lose, Vilgefortz.
-[Vilgefortz] You're alive?

-[roars]
-[Istredd screams]

[scream echoing]

[energy crackling]

[Fringilla] Istredd! [gasps]

Istredd! [gasps]

Hold on!

[splutters]

[Fringilla] I can help you. I can help.

-Hey. Hey.
-[groans]

-Too late. It's over.
-[Fringilla whimpers, yells]

[sighs]

[Istredd spluttering]

[mournful music playing]

Yen!

[Yennefer] Istredd!

Istredd.

[Istredd whimpers]

[moans]

I… I…

His… his plan with Ciri. I…

[groans] I gave him everything he needs.

Yen… mo… More than you know, Yen.

Find Stygga Castle.

And stop him. I… [groans]

[sobs] I'm sorry.

-[crying]
-I'm sorry.

-You saved us, Istredd!
-[mumbling]

[whimpering]

Warm bread.

Warm bread.

Cicadas.

[sobs]

Moon jellyfish.

-[moans]
-[Triss] I've got you.

[Yennefer sobbing]

Istredd! [sobs]

I… [sighs]

I will find Ciri. I promise.

[cicadas chirping]

[dog barking]

[Ciri] What's taking so long?

[lively music playing]

-I thought we came for gold.
-Yeah, we did.

-The brat's parents have coffers of it.
-He's just a child.

As long as he behaves himself,
we won't touch a hair on his head.

We're Rats, not weasels.

[raucous laughter]

-[Kayleigh] We've got company.
-[Reef] Who the f*ck are you?

[man] Who the f*ck are you?

[boy] Guards, help! They kidnapped me!

[Kayleigh] f*ck!

[Giselher] Falka, stay with the boy.

[all yelling]

[Asse] Come on, then!

[Iskra] Mistle!

Don't look. Look at me.
Look at me. Look at me.

[swords clashing, men yelling]

Just let me go.

[straining]

[Kayleigh yelps]

[grunting]

[boy] I know you want to.

You're a good person.

[ominous music playing]

[grunting]

-Falka!
-[boy] You're not like them.

-Falka!
-[boy] They're just filthy criminals.

Maybe they deserve to be k*lled.

[sobs] f*ck you!

-[screams] f*ck you!
-[Iskra] Falka.

-f*ck you!
-Falka! Falka!

-[gasping]
-[Giselher] sh*t.

That was…

Wow.

You did it, Falka.

[man shouts in distance]

You saved us.

-Let's go. Now.
-[man] Come on!

Grab the boy.

[men shouting]

To Falka, who'll take us to new heights.

[Reef chuckles]

Woe betide whoever stands in her way!

-[Reef] Yeah!
-[Mistle] Whoo!

I never thought I'd meet
anyone as f*cked-up as me, but you,

you're my other half.

He's lucky that we kidnapped him
because others wouldn't be so kind.

We'll deliver him home.

Claim what's ours. Grr!

-[Reef] f*ck, yeah!
-[Asse] Yeah!

-And after that?
-[Iskra] There you go.

We take whatever we want
from whoever we want.

With Falka on our side, what can't we do?

[snorting]

When I'm wrong, I say I'm wrong,

and I was wrong about you.

You're a Rat.

-Kayleigh.
-What?

She can decide for herself.

[chuckles]

[giggling]

[sounds slow and distort]

[chuckling echoing]

I'm a Rat!

[all cheering]

[lively music playing]

-[Iskra] Whoo!
-[all laughing]

[both] Whoo!

[Asse] Whoo-hoo!

-Yeah!
-[Giselher] Whoo!

Whoo-hoo-hoo!

Whoo!

Yeah!

We serve no master

'cause we chose freedom.

[all] Freedom!

Freedom!

[Giselher] Freedom!

[music quietens]

[Ciri] What's wrong?

[Kayleigh laughing]

-What you did in the square.
-Well, Rats fight. I'm a Rat.

-That wasn't a fight. That was slaughter.
-[laughing] You're damn right it was!

Who were you really k*lling, Falka?

Well, does it matter?

You say you care about me,
but I think what you really want

is this little doll to shape and mold,
that you can control.

You know that's not true.

It is. It has been since
the night you came into that wagon.

Stop it! The pain you're hiding…

You're failing.

You think you're k*lling it,
but it's k*lling you.

Your darkness is growing, Falka.

And if you're not careful,
it's going to consume us all.

[wistful music playing]

You want me to leave?

No.

Then accept me

as I am.

Because all of this darkness…

this is me.

All right.

[man 1] Let's have another one.

-Thanks.
-[man 2] Yeah, I saw them Rats.

That one they call Falka,
she's the worst of them.

Uh… Oi, I could've
dispatched her, you know?

But I don't fight little girls.

You know? It's against me morals.

[laughter]

What if she's highly skilled?

Seems like

that could be a fair fight, no?

[scoffs]

A juicy fight!

Hmm.

Where did the Rats go?

Who wants to know?

[scoffs]

[sighs]

[grunts]

Leo Bonhart.

Bounty hunter. Pleased to make
your acquaintance, gentlemen.

And if you all cooperate,

I'll let you live.

[man 2 laughs]

[suspenseful music playing]

[Leo] Aye.

Aah, you seem to think a lot of yourself,

old man.

[Leo] Eh…

[both laughing]

[man 2] Ah…

So…

the question, uh…

You forgot the question.

Where did the little Rats go?

Hmm?

I ain't telling you sh*t.

[snorts]

[man 2 laughs]

[Leo] Huh.

Seems you've

lost some of your spittle. [laughs]

Open your mouth.

-Now take your spittle back.
-[choking]

[man 2 grunting]

Now,

tell the old man where the Rats went.

Hotspurn.

Find Hotspurn.

In Os…

Where is he?

-Hmm? Where--
-[whimpers]

[Leo] Ugh.

Wh…

[metal clinking]

[Leo scoffs]

Useless.

[suspenseful music continues]

[girl] Yeah, I'm so tired.

Let's get ready…

[Leo grunts]

[girl] Come on, Falka. It's time for bed.

Let's get ready for bed. Say night night.

Night night.

[Leo] Hello.

-Is that your dolly?
-Mm-hm.

[Leo] Ooh.

She's beautiful.

Can I see her?

-Mmm.
-[Leo] Thank you. What's her name?

[girl] Falka.

Falka?

Hello, Falka.

[high-pitched] Hello!

[scoffs]

[girl] Hey!

-How could he do that?
-[Leo] Mmm.

[solemn music playing]

No one else will ever use this book again.

No one.

It's what Istredd wanted.

You know Nilfgaard.

Where would the White Flame keep
his most treasured possession?

[Fringilla sighs]

[dramatic music playing]

Oi! [yelps]

[soldier] Guards!

Where the f*ck is my daughter?

[thrilling music playing]
