See

I won't die for this city. This city will die for me.

Nyrie!

What have you brought me?

I will speak to you. You've made a mistake...

I wonder who you might be to make such a claim.

Opayol. They're the ones who took our things.

There's no one down there. It looks deserted.

Stop! Feel! His chest.

He can see.

Boots is Jerlamarel's son. Our brother.

Where's Mama? What happened?

They took her?

No, she let go of my hand.

Tamacti Jun!

Princess Maghra...

of the House of Kane.

Chet-chet!

Chet-chet-chet!

Maghra!

Here I am.

Dad. Dad.

Boy.

There's more of them coming. We're about to be surrounded.

- Dad. - What happened?

What happened?

I didn't see it, but he said he saw it, and...

- Saw what? - Saw what?

What... What's she talking about?

Did you find Mom?

I saw her leave the woods.

I saw her with them and...

I saw her die.

What? What?

She was taken before their leader.

She pled with him.

He seemed to be listening, but then he drew for his sword and he cut her down.

He... He killed her.

No. No. She's not dead.

- He's lying. - No.

Why should I believe him?

I didn't believe it either.

I went to look for her.

And I found this.

- I found her bag in blood. - What?

I saw it with my own eyes.

I'm sorry, but we have to run.

No, no. I'm not running.

I'm not going anywhere until we find the Witchfinder and kill him.

- No. - Papa.

We run.

- What? - There will be another time,

a time of our choosing, but right now I have to keep you safe.

- No. I'll go without... - Listen to me.

I have to keep you safe.

We must go. We must go. They're on their way.

I know a place we can hide safely.

Follow me.

You were dead and now you are not.

How can this be?

Where's my family?

These children with vision, they are yours...

aren't they?

I'll answer nothing until I have your assurance

that my family will not be harmed.

I have orders to seize them by any means necessary.

I'm giving you different orders then, aren't I?

You are not the queen.

And whose fault is that?

Tell your men to bring them in alive and unharmed,

and I'll tell you what you want to know.

And then I'll tell you more.

General.

Pass word into the field, the fugitives must be caught alive.

Any damage visited upon them will be returned to every tenth man of ours,

drawn by lots.

Do you understand?

Yes, General.

The order has been given, as you asked.

Now, will you answer my question?

There was a time...

had I given you my word...

you would not have hesitated to believe it.

That was a long time ago.

Yes, it was.

But we are who we are.

No amount of time could change that.

If you trusted me then, do it again now.

Please...

tell me what happened.

This way.

Where are we?

It's a cave, well hidden.

I used to play inside as a child.

It's deep and dark. Nobody will find us here.

The air is still here.

- It's a dead end. - It's all right. We've arrived.

Boots!

What are you doing?

- Open the gate. - Can't.

Boots.

Listen to me. Open this gate.

Please don't leave us in here.

Please stop.

Why are you doing this?

We took you in. I told them to take you in.

It is better this way.

Too many of you to trust all of you.

One would be better.

- Goodbye. - Boy.

- No. - Boy!

- Open the gate. - Hey!

Open the gate.

Open this gate!

Open this gate!

- Boots! - Open the gate!

Boots!

- It's not. This can't be happening. - I knew this would happen.

You never wanted to listen. Nobody wanted to listen.

We told you not to do it.

- What did you say? - She heard me.

Kofun!

We told you not to go inland.

We told you not to trust him. But since when has that ever mattered?

You're always so fucking certain you're in the right!

Well, look where it's left us now, Haniwa!

Fuck.

What is it?

It's dropping.

Kofun.

When we get to the bottom, we're gonna be in the dark.

I have a flint. I just... I need something to light.

The letter.

If this cage can be lowered, it can be raised.

Do you see any tools we can use to do it?

I don't think so.

Someone's here.

I don't see anyone.

We can't stay here.

If we can't get out the way we came, we have to find a way through this.

We're gonna be in the dark again soon.

Then follow me.

What are you doing?

What do you care?

You've stopped working.

They will notice, and you don't want that.

The cocoon, it moves. Why does it do that?

That's even worse. You must summon someone quickly so they can take it away.

What for?

The worm is ready to emerge

and it cannot do so without ruining all the silk from the cocoon.

The Overseers will not take kindly to it.

What is your name?

What do you care?

You seem awfully concerned with my welfare despite the fact we've never spoken.

- I want to know your name. - My name is Cora.

And my concern is for my welfare, not for yours.

If the Overseers or, worse yet, Cutter gets angry with one of us,

the rest of us end up suffering as well.

I'm gonna be very honest with you, Cora.

This is no way to live your life.

Okay. So you're one of those.

"Those"?

You're not the first woman of means who's found herself kneeling before the rack,

lamenting her change in circumstances.

Here, I am fed, I'm sheltered, and I'm unmolested.

There are much worse ways to live your life, I can assure you.

Perhaps you're entitled to want more than that.

There is no part of me that needs more than that in my future.

Well, maybe, like our little friend here,

you could grow new parts to accommodate the need to want more.

You! Why are you idle?

Why are you not working?

I am glad you're here.

I wasn't sure what to do with that and I wanted to...

This is urgent.

This could have been wasted.

Get back to work.

I said, get back to work!

Mind your racks.

Will you get up for me?

You're making me so very angry right now.

I said, will you get up for me?

No.

You are new. You will learn.

Let me know when she stirs.

We'll try again.

So much is about to change...

in a moment.

The world is shedding its skin, revealing something new.

And yet all I can feel is sadness.

Any words I might deploy to address it...

seem small to me...

and unworthy of a great life.

So I'll just say...

The task of succeeding you...

it's doomed to fail.

You're irreplaceable.

But I will do my best...

to preserve what you've left me, to make you proud.

Come.
