05x09 - A Perfect Storm

[bunniefuu]

A fairy tale. Back to the show,

back to the wall and there's nowhere to go.

Hopeless and desperate. All pass it first.

Things looking bleak and about to get worse.

Helpless and tortured. There's no way to.

Goals are achievable. Phase one is dead.

Possible. And that's when you learn you've

been messing with your dad in your primp.

And.

The whip over all. We need a miracle. We go.

Your way is the way. Okay. They can bring back would.

For sure we will. Oh, I.

Raven, we have a problem. What is it? Salem's found us.

Salem. Okay. Four of her followers are waiting to speak with you.

Right. We planned for this. Bring me my helmet.

I don't recall inviting so many guests into our home.

Either I am losing my memory or you've all lost your spines.

Don't be too upset with them, Raven.

Your men simply recognize the power of

a maiden when they see it.

Which is why we'd like to have a word with you.

Leave us. Pack your things, then break down camp. We're moving.

A little late to run and hide.

You've been on our master's list for some time,

so you must understand that we cannot allow you to slip away.

I know all about your master, but I don't believe we've met.

We're the guys you should be afraid of.

I doubt anyone should be afraid of you.

Oh, yeah. Tell that to quiet.

That's what I thought. I'm cinder fall.

This is my associate, Arthur Watts. And my disciples, Emerald and Mercury.

Two children you've tricked into following you.

A disgraced Atlassian scientist and a fall

maiden with a surname so appropriate.

She probably picked it herself. Something tells

me you've got more than a slight

case of egomania. Is that about right?

Technically, I was also a doctor, but I must

say the rest was spot on.

Aren't you perceptive? It's what's kept me alive.

I'm afraid the only reason you're still

alive is because you have something our

master wants. Of course. If I'm wrong.

Vernal.

So this is the long lost spring maiden. Prove it.

Three.

Vernal has done well under my guidance.

I'd take that into consideration before you try anything.

Raven, I won't underestimate you. So please don't insult my intelligence.

There is a slim chance you and

your maiden could escape here today.

But if you know our master as well as you claim to,

then you know you could never truly escape her.

But we come bearing an olive branch.

The maidens are merely a means to an end.

Salem's true desires. Are the relics locked within the huntsmen academies.

Come with us. Allow vernal here to unlock the Relic of Knowledge.

And all previous acts of defiance against Salem will be forgiven.

It's the best deal either of you are going to get.

You talk as if walking straight into Haven will be easy.

That's because it will be. Headmaster Lionheart is loyal to Salem now.

All we need is the key to the vault.

You're not the only one to turn your back on Oz. Raven.

I'm not helping Salem. I'm not helping Oz.

I don't want a part in any of this.

That ship sailed when you chose to harbor a maiden.

But if you come with us to Haven, we'll leave you.

Your tribe and your little secret to live

out the rest of your days squabbling

in the wilderness. We just need the relic.

I need time to think this over. You don't..

Have time. In two days, Haven Academy

will be destroyed by the White Fang. You're going to choose now.

Backed me into a corner, huh? So

are you with us or against us?

Agreements like these are built on trust.

And forgive me for saying, but I don't

trust a single one of you.

You're going to need to give me more.

You are in a poor position to

negotiate. I want my brother dead.

Crow. That's right. He knows I have spring.

And if I help you get your relic,

he's going to become a problem.

I have enough problems to deal with.

Crow doesn't trust me, but he does trust Aspen's other lieutenants.

If Leo really is loyal to you,

then you can order him to invite Crow right into an ambush.

He arrives at Haven. We take him down,

you get your relic, and we all leave happy.

Mm hmm. Now, this is a proposition I can get behind.

All right, ladies, let's pause for a moment.

We have one objective. Retrieving the relic of knowledge.

Now, Bronwyn may be on our list

of individuals we would very much like dead.

But he's not going to go down without a fight,

and he's not going to fight quietly.

Our advantage here is just as you said.

We walk straight into Haven. No resistance. No one the wiser.

A battle with your brother throws that all out the window.

He's good, but not that good. All of us against him.

It'll be over in a heartbeat. But it's not just him. He has

the students with him. He has Ruby.

He certainly does. If we leave that school a bloody mess,

it will draw the attention of the authorities.

The kingdom will be on high alert

and the White Fang's att*ck will be ruined.

Then we wait. We wait until the full moon.

Leo invites Crow and his little fighters to Haven.

The same night, Hazel and Adam arrive with the White Fang.

As soon as the battle is won,

the White Fang demolishes Haven, and any evidence

we may have left behind is lost along with the school.

Then Salem leaves my people alone for good.

You have yourself a deal.

Wait.

Don't think I don't see what you're after.

If this falls to pieces over your grudge with a child,

I will not be taking the blame.

Then what are you worried about?

Fly back home and tinker with your machines

and tell Salem she'll get what she wants. And more.

Uh.

Brother.

Dad. Where's mom? I'm not sure. I got ambushed right away.

Once we take down Corsican. Finnick, no go now.

But you keep assuring me your friend

isn't a complete waste of space. Let's see him prove it.

We got this, Blake. I've wanted to sock

these creeps since the day we met.

You'll have to get in line, Blake. Go!

I won't let you down, sir. Shut up! You got it.

Yes. Vernal. I followed them as you asked.

Did they spot you? Of course not.

They have a ship two clicks west of here.

Looks like they're staying there for the night.

Thank you. Vernal. Anything else? Do you

actually believe they'll let us go once they have the relic?

Of course not. They'll never leave us alone.

Once our purpose has come and gone, we'll be discarded.

Salem only uses people until they are no longer useful.

If we want to have any chance

of defending ourselves against her, then we need this relic.

If Crowe and those brats want to follow Osbourne, then let them.

When the chaos reaches its peak, we'll

grab the relic and make our escape.

And the fact that your daughter will be a part of all that.

Doesn't matter. I warned her. She made her choice.

This path won't be easy for us either,

but we must do what's right for the tribe.

I know I'll do whatever it takes. Good.

Hey, Crow.

Us needs to talk to you.

The.
