01x05 - The Mother

[bunniefuu]

[waves crashing]

- [tense music]
- [sobs]

Drummer.

Drummer, answer me, please.

Drummer, please tell me you're OK.

[sobbing] Please.

Please stop.

Please stop.

[sobbing]

Please... please...

Just do it! f*cking do it!

- I can't.
- Do it!

Do it!

f*cking do it, please! Please!

[sobbing]

[crying]

I'm so sorry.

[tense music]

[soft melancholic music]

Adam!

Adam!

Adam!

[yelling]

[screaming]

Adam!

Freya!

Freya!

Freya, stop!

[gasping]

[sobs]

What happened, Sol?

We heard nothing, Freya.

There was no Miasma.

We had an argument.

He was upset.

I promise you, Freya,
it was something else.

He took the r*fle.

If he was in danger,
he would've called for us.

We'll find him.

I promise you.

[thunder rumbling]

Hey, it's OK.

You're safe, OK?

[gasping]

Everything is fine.

No, no, not...

Everything is not...
Everything's not going to be fine.

Drummer, what happened?

I was so afraid of losing you.

- Hey...
- I thought I'm leaving you here to die...

It was the Miasma.

He told me I was a fool
and he was f*cking right!

So... so f*cking right.

Drummer, who told you?

This man... this... this man.

- What man?
- This man!

What man?

You're f*cking looking at him!

[suspenseful music]

[chair clattering]

[bell ringing]

That's a f*cking upgrade.

You won't be making jokes
when you're frozen to death

and your c*ck's up in your
throat, fool. We need a car.

There is a car dealership up the road.

f*ck you, Worm.

This ain't no joke, m*therf*cker.

We're gonna freeze to death, fool.

Nah, nah, nah, nah...

Nah, nah, nah.

Hey, f*ck, sh*t.

f*ck. sh*t.

Oh, yeah.

Oh.

Gotta let the jewels breathe, brother.

f*ck you, it's cold.

Who knew you were hung
like a b*stard rat, fool?

Jesus H. Christ. [Chuckles]

[groans]

Did you see that?

That is a crazy.

I never seen a crazy fish, Worm. So...

You go find that dealership,

and you meet me back here.

I'm going to have me a conversation.

Alright.

[pensive music]

Psst! Hey! Hey, hey.

m*therf*cker, you're a crazy?

Beryx.

You f*ck up my vehicle?

Was that you?

Yes. f*ck your vehicle good. Explode.

Where's the girl?

Safe, Boogie Boogie.

I'm not gonna ask again, I
said, where's the f*cking girl?

I tell you safe, Boogie Boogie.

I'll end you right now, m*therf*cker.

Hey, hey, hey... no angry.

- I take you.
- Take me. Go.

Follow.

It's your f*cking fault,
I'm riding the push bike,

you piece of sh*t.

[yelling]

m*therf*cker!

g*dd*mn.

Jesus Christ.

I'm gonna f*ck you, you...

I trap you.

Feel you before,

make you here...

I boogie you.

f*ck you.

When Miasma come,

you no demon.

[yelling]

You m*therf*cker.

Oh, g*dd*mn.

[intriguing music]

[radio crackling]

[clicking]

[whirring]

I'm missing something?

Yeah, you are.

I ain't leaving until you get
your lazy fat a*s into gear.

- I gave you wings.
- You're not real.

You're in my f*cking head.
You're not even real.

So when are you gonna fly?

Fly!

You're in my head...
You're not f*cking real.

[tense music]

[dramatic music]

Let's go.

We meet the mother.

[intriguing music]

Beryx house.

[door closes]

You like it?

Well, hello.

Welcome.

And please excuse me,

We don't often expect guests.

Oh my. I'm Zaina.

Mara.

Mara.

It's not been well for you.

[suspenseful music]

Sit.

We must all eat a strong vegetable soup.

Beryx, set the table, please.

Yes.

Where am I?

Safe.

It's a sanctuary,

from the world as it is now,
and soon to be a nursery.

A sanctuary?

Let's leave all the questions for later.

We'll feed and clean your body first,

and then,

we'll deal with the mind.

[soft music]

The water is mixed with herbs.

Good for the hair and scalp.

Good for the soul.

[humming tune]

Don't stop, child.

Release it.

[sobbing]

Your pain and loss will be
replaced by something greater.

More beautiful.

This I promise.

[humming tune]

[suspenseful music]

We can't stay here any longer.

There's better things to
find and f*ck than here.

Rooster? Seriously?

Nobody likes him.

You don't even like him
deep in your heart.

You don't like him.

Me and my boys, you're going to leave.

So, do you come with us, or not?

Actually, I do like him.

Then sh**t me.

And we f*cking need him.

He's the head, and we
are the f*cking body.

Hey, hey, hey, hey.

I can give you head.

You just gotta whistle.

[whistling]

[sighs]

We stay together.

[clattering]

Adam proved himself. He's smart.

He's resourceful.

He's solid.

Let's just find him.

That's got to be the track we take.

Find him. Got to find him.

[sighs]

You OK?

Hey, no harm.

[intriguing music]

What do you see, Kane?

Him.

- The Other?
- Him.

But you hear me?

I hear you, I see you.

I'm going to be ready.

I got to be ready.

Forgive me.

I'm OK.

Look at me. Look at me.

Stay calm. You understand?

You pull the sh*t one more time...

It won't end well for you.
You understand?

I understand.

Tell me again.

I understand.

Come on, get up.

Get up.

Worm!

g*dd*mn it, Worm!

[coughing]

m*therf*cker!

Cut me down, Worm.

[groaning]

What the f*ck happened?

f*ck you, Worm.

[gasping]

f*ck! My head is gonna
explode, m*therf*cker.

You believe that m*therf*cker?

String up the Rooster?

I'll tell you something, Worm.

I ain't playing here.

I ain't f*cking playing him and that

c**t woman girlfriend of his.

You have seen a man get skinned alive?

I'm going to skin that m*therf*cker alive!

And we're going to eat off
that m*therf*cker for a week.

Yeah! Gonna f*cking k*ll him.

Hey, son of a b*tch.

[thunder rumbling]

I'm sorry.

Are you OK?

The Fear got to me.

I was walking around,

Found Perry's mask and...

I put it on, I tried to,
I tried to fight it, I tried.

That man and me, my nightmares.

Was it a nightmare, you know?
Was it real?

What's the difference? You know?

I think I saw Sandy.

She wasn't alive, but she

she wasn't dead either.

[dramatic music]

There is a portal.

[thunder rumbling]

Close the portal.

An arch with a demon,

and the Miasma pouring out of it.

The riddle is solved.

It's a gateway to hell,

and the devil's evil breath
is the source of the Miasma.

Why didn't we think of that?

I saw it, Stella. I saw it.

No, I believe you.

I do.

Hey...

Look, you got out of there.

Let's just give it a rest.

At least we have something
to work with. OK.

[sighs] Yeah.

[sighs]

They were here.

Yeah. That girl, she...

She mentioned something
about them looking

for a Goddamned station,
am I right, Worm?

Her and her boyfriend,

Well, they seemed pretty
well supplied to me. Am I right?

Which means the rest
of them are too, Worm.

I'll tell you something, Worm.

They had their chances.

Ain't getting no more.

[suspenseful music]

[humming tune]

How do you feel?

I don't know...

Lost.

This is a fine place to be lost.

You said it's a sanctuary?

Yes.

For nearly everyone, it doesn't exist.

Here is somewhere else,

where you cannot be seen or touched,

It doesn't make any sense.

It is a bit of a mind f*ck, isn't it?

[laughing]

Mindfuck.

[laughing]

Mindfuck.

But rather a lot of fun when you get it.

Accept it.

Mindfuck.

[laughing]

[pensive music]

f*ck!

I can do this.

I can do this. I can f*cking do this.

You sure about that?

I don't think you can.

Hey!

You know what, m*therf*cker?

You sure you're tough?

Take off the f*cking mask.

I got a request.

Request?

Get out of my f*cking head.

Copy that.

You're a son of a b*tch, I swear to God.

[laughing]

[thunder rumbling]

If no one can see this place,

and it doesn't exist to them,

Then how did I see it?

Beryx helped you.

He held your hand

and he took you through the arch.

- Beryx is...
- Mindfuck.

No.

Special, very special.

[pensive music]

Listen, do you know much physics?

- No.
- Me neither.

What is most important now

is that you create your own demon.

Strong, tireless, able to
defend you from the Miasma.

But it has to be a very,
very big, big scary...

Big m*therf*cker.

- Demon!
- Demon.

You're mad.

No, the demon you create is you.

Another you.

Mad.

Mara!

This is the only way you're
going to survive the Miasma.

You're carrying a child.

And now very precious gift in this world.

Trust, Mara.

We safe you, Mara.

Trust... is the first step.

- [engine revving]
- [g*nshots]

They're having fun.

Not for too much longer, Worm.

Not for too much longer.

- [suspenseful music]
- [g*nshots]

Here is a good place to spend the night.

Ramiz.

Hey...

[car approaching]

[g*n clicks]

[indistinct chattering]

Organization. Structure.
Without it, we are nothing.

We die. Empires have fallen. Family.

That's what we are

or that's what we're
supposed to f*cking be.

You're so smart.

I am smart and I hear things,

and I'm going to tell
you something, missy.

[groaning]

If you try to take one of
my men again, I'll cut you,

and then I'll f*ck you.

You understand me? Loyalty.

f*cking loyalty!

[laughing]

She's crazy as a goose.

Whoo!

Take a look at that.
I want me one of those.

Hey, brother.

How you doing, man?

I'm Rooster. This is Worm right here.

Hi.

Gotta tell you, we really like your vehicle.

Yeah, me too.

Him too! I'm sure you do.

Come on out here, brother.

- We're all family here.
- Yeah, OK.

That's what I'm trying to teach

that f*cking skank right there.

Family!

It's OK. So hey, listen, man,
this blue kind of matches my eyes.

I'll make you a trade for that
nice little rag top right there.

I don't know what to say.

You don't know what to say.

Well, we used to have
a saying way back when,

I'm going to give you an offer
you can't refuse.

[choking]

And that's going to be, you know,
if you f*cking do that again.

They came this far out.

They'll keep looking for us.

It's him.

It's Rooster.

We got ourselves a deal.

This simulates the
effects of the Miasma,

a fusion of plants and herbs.

It will help the process of
inoculating your mind to the Fear.

But first, you need to feel it.

[suspenseful music]

Do the best you can to understand
that Beryx and I are by your side.

Ready?

Mara

create your demon.

[groans, coughing]

[insects chirping]

[suspenseful music]

Well, look who decided to show up.

Now, let me refresh your memory.

- No!
- [g*nshots]

- No, stop! Stop!
- [laughing]

You can't have too much
of a good time, right?

Because I just love me
another man's pain.

No...

No, please. Please stop.

[stabbing]

Create your demon.

You can stop this.

Maybe we have ourselves
a little amputation here.

What do you think?

Maybe take off both feet.
Bring him down to size.

[laughing]

No!

No!

- Yes... Yes!
- No.

[screaming]

No!

Stop!

[stabbing]

Stop! Stop!

[laughing]

No!

Mara, look at me...

Do it.

[laughing]

[yells]

Do it, Mara.

[dramatic music]

Take your ugly, f*cking hands off of him.

f*ck you.

Shut the f*ck up.

f*ck you.

Keep pointing this f*cking knife at me

and watch what the f*ck I'll do with it.

You're f*cking next.

[growling]

[screaming]

What... are you doing?

[gasping]

Mara.

Mara.

We have to do it again.

Not tonight, but until you can
summon your demon instantly.

Block the Fear.

Beryx, get the kit.

Not everyone can do this, but you...

You have the strength.

My demon is...

What?

A big f*ck.

Huge.

It is you.

Yeah, I got me a demon.

It hurts a little, but...

The tattoo helps.

A remind, reassurance...

Looks great as well.

I think.

Yes?

Yes?

Yes.

All right. Where?

Like Beryx.

[chuckling]

Like Beryx.

Hey. What are you doing?

What have you been
doing, Man of Mystery?

Just checking on a few things,

making sure we had supplies,
there is enough juice in the gennie.

Right.

You can tell me the truth later.

I have been working out our lifespan.

And?

And if it keeps growing at the same rate,

then we have three months

until the Miasma reaches us.

Three months?

Give or take a few days. Or

it could just stop.

Go back to where it came from.

Anything's possible, right?

When was the last time
I told you that I love you?

I can't say I remember the first time.

Well, I love you.

Of course you do.

I'm clearly irresistible,
and you're my little fun bunny.

I know what you're up to.

Button Lake.

There's a reservoir with fresh water...

It's damn near 200 miles away,

and there ain't no
straight road going there.

Yeah, but there's got to be a
structure we can find out there.

And if I can get that engine
running, we can make it.

Give me some guarantees, hmm?

No Miasma.

No murderous lunatics.

Some sort of survival plan.

Why?

Why?

Because if we just accept
things the way they are,

we're just going to lie down and die.

We can't just sit here.

We've got to try something.

[suspenseful music]

Take a look at this guy, Worm.

We've even got ourselves
a spare taillight

in case the police pulls us over.

[chuckling]

We got ourselves a deal, Worm.

[g*nshots]

Ready?

I'm ready.

I got your back.

You'll be fine.

Just do a recount of the b*ll*ts, boys.

OK? We'll finish cleaning
and then we'll...

[burping]

Summarize our food situation.

You know, that really does get
annoying, Worm. Swear to God.

[long burp]

[laughing]

You one dirty m*therf*cker,
let me tell you.

We should put a b*llet in his
head if he keeps doing that,

- it stinks!
- Rooster.

I see her.

A new day...

A new surprise, fool.

Hey there, lady.

Are you OK?

[suspenseful music]

I need help.

I'm sure you do.

There is a lot of bad people
out there. We've seen them.

My daughter is injured.

I'm really sorry to hear that.

How old is your daughter?



Oh my, Sweet 16. Hear, Worm?

Tell you what, we're going to oblige.

Let me start by taking this

- weight off your shoulders.
- Thank you.

- Sure thing.
- Thank you.

Worm?

- Yeah?
- You go help fetch that little girl.

Maybe bring her back to the new vehicle.

Bring some food.

So you got a name?

Name?

[tense music]

[g*nsh*t]

[g*nshots]

[scream]

[g*nsh*t]

[groaning]

Go!

[groans]

[groaning]

[intense music]

Freya?

[thud]

Your wife and your daughter fought

harder than you, pretty boy.

Rooster says game ain't over.

Whoo!

[tense music]

[clanking]

You see anything?

Who's g*n is that?

Sol?

What is it?

- What is it?
- It's the g*n I left with Jan.

Oh my God.

They k*lled Mara.

[screaming] No!

[soft intriguing music]

Mara asleep?

Mm hmm.

- We parents now.
- Not yet.

The child needs to be born first.

We take Mara to seeing place?

Tomorrow, Beryx.

Everything has changed now.

We have Mara...

Once again.

[dramatic music]

[pensive music]
