Ep 208 Script

major, perig and lulu sitting around a fire in the resistance camp.

Perig: can you believe it? there’s really a whole world out there, being kept from us.

Major: no, i dont believe it.

P: seriously? even with all this proof?

M: none of this proves anything other than the government should invest more in regulating these Wastelands.

Lulu: doesnt a part of you WANT to believe it’s all true?

M: and why would any conceivable part of me want that?

L: because it would mean there’s a chance to have more of a life than you currently do. i wouldnt mind that, at least.

maj has flashbacks of ex wife and family

M: no, there’s nothing for me out there. besides, this’ll all be put to rest when the Guards the Director’s sent track us down.

P: Maj, we’ve been out here for weeks and no one’s come for us.

M: there’ll be a strategic element to it, I’m sure.

Lars: *pops up* waiting for a rescue mission? sorry, but no one’s coming for ya. that’s my fault, actually. I’ve been sending fake reports from you to the Director. She thinks you were just out here searching for Del the whole time, and now that he’s reappeared you’ve told her you’re all taking a sabbatical after the search exhausted you. from what i know, she hasn’t even sent anyone to your homes to confirm any of it. thats of how little consequence you are to her. sorry to destroy any hope you had left.

M: if she hasnt sent anyone it’s because of your interference, not her lack of caring.

L: whatever you wanna tell yourself. if you dont want to believe me, perhaps you’ll listen to an old acquaintance of yours.

chief commissioner walks up, dressed in resistance clothing.

P: c-chief commissioner - what are you -

Chief: it looks like we have some catching up to do.

sparrow leader opens brek’s cell. he looks up, tired and dull looking.

S: we’ve come to a decision.

B: i’d say about time, but i have no idea how much time it’s actually been.

S: no one told you to stupidly barge your way into a Sparrow HQ, guns blazing.

B: there was only one gun, and i took it from your storage cupboard where it was carelessly left loaded.

S: look, it was an idiotic move on your part, and we’ve been paying most of the price for it.

B: and you’ve finally figured out what you’re gonna do with me.

S: your only goal is to get your dad back, really?

B: yes, I’ve told you, the Magpies took him and -

S: I know where he is.

B: i know you do, that’s why i even came here -

S: quiet, I’m saying, I’d be willing to tell you. take you to him, even.

B:...what’s in it for you?

S: go back to your eagle friend.

B: w-what -

S: tell the son of the director to stop setting his magpies on us. their pointless raids are an annoyance.

B: i broke it off with reamer, i can’t just -

S: how badly do you want you father back?

B:...

S: you’ll have a month. stop the magpie attacks. and keep an ear out for anything else that may be…useful to us.

B: spy? on the director’s son?

S: you can’t do it?

B: i didnt say that

S: so it’s agreed?

B: …fine. yes. fine. for my father. but im about to have to swallow a lot of my pride to do it.
