Previously on Outsiders...
Now, you run as far as you can.
- And don't you never come back. - Hey, you want to come see
if you can show me where your parents' house is?
You can't stay with me, Sam.
I promise you, she's gonna look after you, okay?
Goddamn.
- I'm pregnant. - You're man enough
to create a life; you are man enough to make a decision.
That child's half a Farrell, and he's gonna be
- born half a Farrell. - We're kind of
stuck without a place to go. If you just let us stay here
a couple more days till we figure things out.
Look, man. I'm selling tonight. I could use someone
to watch my back. I'll kick you a couple bucks.
Easy money. What do you say?
- Times are tough. - Yeah, well, been made tougher
by that sister of yours and her gang of bitches.
Next time, chain 'em up.
While you're here, I'm gonna give you basic survival advice.
Keep your head down. And be very careful who you trust.
Got something for you. A gift.
From the brotherhood.
Smash his skull like a watermelon.
You don't fool me, Farrell.
There's a bloodthirsty lion in you.
The fire was by Kinnah hand.
Moregon killed Hezzy.
- She's up to something. She's got to go.
- Will you help me? - Always.
Thou art not our Bren'in, for we are not Farrell.
Foster, we'll get all the knives,
all the arrows, hatchets, everything.
You just give us the word,
we'll take them witches out.
Well, you could do that.
But you'd probably die trying.
And you would do it anyway, I know.
But right now, the Bren'in, she's got a gun to her head.
So nobody tries nothing.
What do they want with her, anyways?
You stay here. I mean it.
They killed Hezzy, too.
- Burnt him alive. - This is a calamity.
Never in our history has the Bren'in
been held prisoner by our own clan.
They ain't our clan.
So what are you gonna do?
I don't know.
Yet.
Actions speak louder.
I agree with you, Mr. Farrell.
But the stench of them.
Oh! Come on.
Can't you smell it? Really?
You know, I got a pretty good sense of smell,
and I don't think it was them.
Maybe it's your upper lip?
You, you, my friend,
you're as pure as the driven snow.
I love that phrase.
Shakespeare, A Winter's Tale.
Snow so white and pure,
it's yet to be poisoned by this wicked world.
Just like you.
I'm proud to have a pure being such as yourself among us, sir.
I've chosen you, and you will join me.
One, because in hell, you don't have a choice.
Two, because you're the whitest man
to shit inside these walls since I walked in here 18 years ago.
We're pure, we're clean.
We share the same heart.
Understand?
What do you want?
I have offered you everything we have.
And we are grateful.
I commend you for holding fast
to so many of your generous ways.
And for understanding
that the modern world has poisoned us all.
We agree on that.
So pardon me for my confusion.
- About? - You believe it's wrong
to be dependent on their machines.
- It is. - And yet,
you've stolen our guns.
Seems you're a bit dependent on them right now.
Leadership is not easy.
Remaining true to what we believe,
to this mountain, this talamh,
means that difficult choices must be made.
Especially when there are those who refuse to understand.
Yes.
I refuse to understand that someone has to die
- so that you can prove to... - When I told you
we burnt the smokehouse
because the meat was tainted, what did you do?
You ran straightaway to a drunken man for help.
Which confirmed what I wish were not true:
you're weak.
And that we had no choice but to steal
your own fire to convince you
to let us do what we came here to do.
Which is what?
Cosain fuil ond fuil.
"Only blood can save blood"?
When our people came to this continent,
we brought with us all the ancient rites,
the ones the Christians tried to kill.
We held fast to them.
And when we settled up here,
safe from the so-called Americans,
we began to lose hold of them.
That is why the Kinnah left.
Only blood can save blood,
so the strongest of you must die.
- What are you talking about? - A purification by blood.
To rid us of all the ills you brought up
onto this sacred hill.
- A sacrifice. - Tomorrow eve.
- At the full moon. - Well, it will never happen.
I so wanted to teach you.
For you to join me,
for us to save this clan together.
You're gonna kill a man for his blood.
Not me.
You.
Moregon, I let you live among us.
I agreed we needed to change.
I sought your counsel, but th...
this is madness.
No! It's what we believe!
We are not murderers.
We are a family.
And your beloved husband... isn't he a killer?
And you? Didn't you try to murder him?
- You failed, but still. - I failed
because Farrells don't kill Farrells.
- I see. - I won't do it.
No, he is not the strongest of you.
He is just one of your family.
And every hour, one will die...
until you agree.
So go on, tell this boy that you're too weak
to do your duty
and purify this mountain as the Bren'in must.
No.
They shot her!
They shot the Bren'in!
Foster, no!
You want to shoot? Go ahead and shoot me!
G'Winveer.
A man who is willing to die for someone he loves.
He is the strongest.
Take him away.
- Why? What number's that? - 600.
Dollars?
- For rent. - For rent.
Which is...?
Are you kidding me?
- No. - You're not.
Okay. So rent is money that you pay for a place to live.
Well, it just seems like an odd notion to me, but go on.
And I... we can't stay here anymore.
Babies and bongs don't really go together.
My brother is crazy, and "crazy" is not even the word
I'd begin to use to describe your family.
We need a place of our own.
- Agreed? - I agree.
Yeah. Uh, I-I agree, no questions.
What's that?
That's $200, for food, furnishings,
like a bed, a table, microwave.
And the rest of this stuff is basics.
Just dish soap, toilet paper.
Stop.
I know you know what toilet paper is.
- All right. - And after that, we have
the weekly fare for the bus, in case we need to go anywhere,
and then we have utilities.
- Which are what? - Utilities are electric,
gas, water.
What do you mean, water? You pay for water?
We pay for water, babe. You know that.
You got to pay for water? Wh...
Well, what about air? Hmm?
How much, how much the air cost down here?
I'm being serious.
And we haven't even gotten to the biggest one.
- What's that? - Doctor's bills.
I told you, the free clinic is closed.
We're gonna have to pay for everything out of pocket.
Do you understand what I'm telling you?
- Yeah. - I'd go get a payday loan,
but I can't get a payday loan if I don't have a payday.
And I don't have a job.
And, baby, neither do you.
You know what? Just forget it.
I-I don't even know what it is that I'm trying to do here.
- Wait, wait. Whoa, whoa. -I get that you don't understand.
