What are you saying?
184
00:10:47,439 --> 00:10:52,110
Stubby. We may be able
to avenge both of them.
185
00:10:53,153 --> 00:10:54,279
[exhales softly]
186
00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:59,075
A dozen juvenile dragons
wiped out Whitestone.
187
00:10:59,076 --> 00:11:00,785
And according to Raishan,
188
00:11:00,786 --> 00:11:03,245
Thordak's nest will hatch soon.
189
00:11:03,246 --> 00:11:06,332
- If they do--
- We're fucked, in every single hole.
190
00:11:06,333 --> 00:11:08,542
It would be bad, yes.
191
00:11:08,543 --> 00:11:10,878
Nobody trusts her less than me,
192
00:11:10,879 --> 00:11:14,715
but we didn't listen to her last time
and it got Percy killed.
193
00:11:14,716 --> 00:11:17,968
But taking Emon from
the most dangerous dragon in the world?
194
00:11:17,969 --> 00:11:19,428
You've tried that before.
195
00:11:19,429 --> 00:11:23,350
Unless you have some army hidden away,
what would be different?
196
00:11:24,893 --> 00:11:27,478
What if we did have an army?
197
00:11:27,479 --> 00:11:30,898
Oh, boy. Grog, I told you
not to eat Percy's workshop paste.
198
00:11:30,899 --> 00:11:33,484
What? No, I mean,
everywhere we've been,
199
00:11:33,485 --> 00:11:35,986
- we made friends.
- Yeah, and enemies.
200
00:11:35,987 --> 00:11:38,948
Well, yeah, sure, but if Thordak wins,
201
00:11:38,949 --> 00:11:42,493
friends, enemies, they all suffer.
202
00:11:42,494 --> 00:11:44,995
This is bigger than Whitestone.
203
00:11:44,996 --> 00:11:47,081
Evel Tal'Dorei.
204
00:11:47,082 --> 00:11:49,041
He's right.
205
00:11:49,042 --> 00:11:51,836
Maybe I could convince the Ashari to help.
206
00:11:51,837 --> 00:11:54,171
{\an8}We could ask Zahra and Kash
and Vasselheim.
207
00:11:54,172 --> 00:11:56,715
And Earthbreaker Groon. [chuckles]
208
00:11:56,716 --> 00:11:58,426
That guy's a beast.
209
00:11:58,427 --> 00:12:00,302
[Allura] A compelling idea, Grog.
210
00:12:00,303 --> 00:12:03,889
But you're talking about
a handful of scattered fighters.
211
00:12:03,890 --> 00:12:05,475
I doubt it would be enough.
212
00:12:06,518 --> 00:12:07,977
[defeated sighing]
213
00:12:07,978 --> 00:12:10,856
How about 1,000 Syngorn soldiers?
214
00:12:12,232 --> 00:12:15,776
Um, that would certainly
make a difference.
215
00:12:15,777 --> 00:12:17,821
Then what are we waiting for?
216
00:12:18,989 --> 00:12:20,448
{\an8}[screeching]
217
00:12:20,449 --> 00:12:22,868
{\an8}[stirring, triumphant music playing]
218
00:12:24,411 --> 00:12:26,371
[screeching]
219
00:12:35,464 --> 00:12:37,507
{\an8}- [electricity crackling]
- [grunting]
220
00:12:40,719 --> 00:12:43,138
[thunder crashing]
221
00:12:50,061 --> 00:12:51,062
[soldiers grunt]
222
00:12:52,022 --> 00:12:53,148
[loud grunt]
223
00:12:54,941 --> 00:12:56,943
{\an8}[growling]
224
00:12:58,278 --> 00:12:59,279
[roars]
225
00:13:01,865 --> 00:13:03,032
[laughing]
226
00:13:03,033 --> 00:13:04,408
Damn it.
227
00:13:04,409 --> 00:13:05,993
Why do I always have to be the bait, Zee?
228
00:13:05,994 --> 00:13:10,331
Because, my darling Kash,
you are just so damned attractive.
229
00:13:10,332 --> 00:13:12,166
That is absolutely correct.
230
00:13:12,167 --> 00:13:14,627
All right, come on,
let's haul him back for the reward.
231
00:13:14,628 --> 00:13:17,171
[Vax] And how much
will the Take pay you for him?
232
00:13:17,172 --> 00:13:19,256
One hundred gold? Fifty?
233
00:13:19,257 --> 00:13:21,133
No. [chuckles]
234
00:13:21,134 --> 00:13:22,801
Twenty-five.
235
00:13:22,802 --> 00:13:25,971
What if you upgraded
to something a bit scalier?
236
00:13:25,972 --> 00:13:28,307
Ha-ha, you talking dragons?
237
00:13:28,308 --> 00:13:30,559
No, no. No. No.
238
00:13:30,560 --> 00:13:33,812
Last time we got involved with you lot,
we nearly got killed.
239
00:13:33,813 --> 00:13:36,899
Come on. Don't you want
a shot at redemption?
240
00:13:36,900 --> 00:13:39,193
Or at least a much bigger bounty?
241
00:13:39,194 --> 00:13:42,071
All right, we know we owe you.
242
00:13:42,072 --> 00:13:45,366
But near death and certain death
are quite different.
243
00:13:45,367 --> 00:13:48,369
Sorry, me and Zee? Package deal.
244
00:13:48,370 --> 00:13:49,662
Speaking of...
245
00:13:49,663 --> 00:13:51,373
where's your sister?
246
00:13:52,624 --> 00:13:54,626
{\an8}[birds calling quietly]
247
00:13:59,214 --> 00:14:03,259
So, you've done it.
Acquired the Fenthras Bow.
248
00:14:03,260 --> 00:14:06,136
I suppose you've come
to receive my praise.
249
00:14:06,137 --> 00:14:08,222
Lovely seeing you too, Father.
250
00:14:08,223 --> 00:14:10,975
But no, I don't need approval.
251
00:14:10,976 --> 00:14:13,811
I seek something much harder to give.
252
00:14:13,812 --> 00:14:15,646
Ooh. Our armies?
253
00:14:15,647 --> 00:14:17,606
I've heard you're gathering forces.
254
00:14:17,607 --> 00:14:20,025
But I'm afraid that's quite impossible.
255
00:14:20,026 --> 00:14:22,486
Thordak can have Emon, for all I care.
256
00:14:22,487 --> 00:14:26,156
Our forces must remain here
in defense of Syngorn.
257
00:14:26,157 --> 00:14:28,409
Your military is the easy part.
258
00:14:28,410 --> 00:14:29,953
Oh.
259
00:14:30,954 --> 00:14:33,289
Then what do you wish of me?
260
00:14:33,290 --> 00:14:35,374
I want you to admit the truth.
261
00:14:35,375 --> 00:14:37,585
The dragon killed Mother.
262
00:14:37,586 --> 00:14:38,878
Elaina.
263
00:14:39,879 --> 00:14:42,840
I spent years thinking
her death was my fault.
264
00:14:42,841 --> 00:14:45,634
That, somehow, we were the reason
you sent her to Byroden,
265
00:14:45,635 --> 00:14:47,137
and if we hadn't been born...
266
00:14:48,179 --> 00:14:49,347
...she might still be alive.
267
00:14:50,432 --> 00:14:52,058
And you know why I believed that.
268
00:14:53,101 --> 00:14:54,769
Because you did, too.
269
00:14:55,770 --> 00:14:57,396
You blamed us for her death--
270
00:14:57,397 --> 00:14:59,898
Nonsense! I never said any such thing.
271
00:14:59,899 --> 00:15:02,610
You turned your back on your children!
272
00:15:02,611 --> 00:15:05,362
In our moment of need, you shut us out!
273
00:15:05,363 --> 00:15:09,950
Left us to fend for ourselves
in a world that consumes love and hope.
274
00:15:09,951 --> 00:15:13,454
The only advice you ever gave
was to guard our hearts,
275
00:15:13,455 --> 00:15:15,873
to let no one in.
276
00:15:15,874 --> 00:15:17,625
And now I know why.
277
00:15:17,626 --> 00:15:20,961
It's because you were too proud
to admit you loved her.
278
00:15:20,962 --> 00:15:24,256
Her death hurt you as much as it hurt us.
279
00:15:24,257 --> 00:15:26,426
That's your truth.
280
00:15:28,595 --> 00:15:30,346
That was long ago.
281
00:15:30,347 --> 00:15:32,640
[soft inhale] I've moved on.
282
00:15:32,641 --> 00:15:34,224
I haven't.
283
00:15:34,225 --> 00:15:36,644
You taught me my love was poison.
284
00:15:36,645 --> 00:15:38,979
I learned the lesson so well,
285
00:15:38,980 --> 00:15:42,733
I kept the one decent man
who shared his heart at arm's length
286
00:15:42,734 --> 00:15:44,902
until it was too late.
287
00:15:44,903 --> 00:15:48,113
And now I would give anything to hold him,
288
00:15:48,114 --> 00:15:50,449
to tell him how I feel...
289
00:15:50,450 --> 00:15:53,870
to not be the callous fool you made me.
290
00:15:55,121 --> 00:15:56,831
But everyone's pain is their own.
291
00:15:57,832 --> 00:15:59,416
And he's gone.
292
00:15:59,417 --> 00:16:01,544
Vex'ahlia...
293
00:16:02,921 --> 00:16:04,421
I'm sorry.
294
00:16:04,422 --> 00:16:07,675
This is my only bargaining chip, Father.
295
00:16:07,676 --> 00:16:10,177
The truth. [sniffles]
296
00:16:10,178 --> 00:16:12,596
If you've any love left for me,
297
00:16:12,597 --> 00:16:14,473
or for Mother,
298
00:16:14,474 --> 00:16:17,686
then march to Emon and prove it.
299
00:16:18,937 --> 00:16:19,937
And if not for us,
300
00:16:19,938 --> 00:16:24,192
think of those who will occupy this world
when you are gone.
301
00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:27,861
If anything's left.
302
00:16:27,862 --> 00:16:29,196
[Velora laughing]

[screeches]
305
00:16:46,798 --> 00:16:49,883
Kash and Zahra declined our invitation.
306
00:16:49,884 --> 00:16:51,553
Will this be enough?
307
00:16:52,721 --> 00:16:53,721
[Keyleth] I'm here.
308
00:16:53,722 --> 00:16:56,891
No matter what happens,
we'll face it together.
309
00:16:57,892 --> 00:17:00,602
Not my fate. Not yours.
310
00:17:00,603 --> 00:17:02,230
Ours.
311
00:17:03,314 --> 00:17:05,649
[Pike humming]
312
00:17:05,650 --> 00:17:07,110
Huh?

[humming continues]
314
00:17:10,655 --> 00:17:12,406
W-What are you doing?
315
00:17:12,407 --> 00:17:15,994
Oh, uh, sometimes singing calms my nerves.
316
00:17:17,454 --> 00:17:19,037
This is Kaylie's song.
317
00:17:19,038 --> 00:17:21,540
Your lyrics are beautiful, Scanlan.
318
00:17:21,541 --> 00:17:23,584
Did you show her?
319
00:17:23,585 --> 00:17:24,918
No.
320
00:17:24,919 --> 00:17:26,628
And I won't.
321
00:17:26,629 --> 00:17:29,006
I tried being a father
and a part of this team,
322
00:17:29,007 --> 00:17:30,924
and I failed at both things.
323
00:17:30,925 --> 00:17:32,593
Maybe there's a solution.
324
00:17:32,594 --> 00:17:33,844
Yeah, there is.
325
00:17:33,845 --> 00:17:36,263
No more distractions.
326
00:17:36,264 --> 00:17:37,890
- [curtain opens]
- [Grog] Uh, guys?
327
00:17:37,891 --> 00:17:40,309
You got to see this.
328
00:17:40,310 --> 00:17:42,937
[exciting music playing]
329
00:17:48,777 --> 00:17:50,195
Wha...
330
00:17:54,574 --> 00:17:57,284
[commander] Company, halt!
331
00:17:57,285 --> 00:17:59,703
[Vax] Holy shit.
332
00:17:59,704 --> 00:18:01,371
She did it.
333
00:18:01,372 --> 00:18:03,291
[commander] Forward march.
334
00:18:11,591 --> 00:18:13,967
[roars]
335
00:18:13,968 --> 00:18:16,054
[indistinct chatter]
336
00:18:17,347 --> 00:18:19,139
[ballista captain] Roll it back!
337
00:18:19,140 --> 00:18:20,683
[archer captain] Loose.
338
00:18:22,685 --> 00:18:25,521
Very well, our soldiers are at the ready.
339
00:18:25,522 --> 00:18:27,606
What is the plan of attack?
340
00:18:27,607 --> 00:18:29,399
We'll wage a two-pronged assault.
341
00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:33,570
Your Syngorn army, Groon's warriors,
as well as the Whitestone Pale Guard.
342
00:18:33,571 --> 00:18:37,407
We'll march through the city gates,
engaging Thordak's spawn head-on.
343
00:18:37,408 --> 00:18:41,328
The Firetamers and Arashari in front
to shield against flame attacks.
344
00:18:41,329 --> 00:18:44,456
Allura and I will also lend our magic
to the cause.
345
00:18:44,457 --> 00:18:47,459
And while the ground forces
engage Thordak's offspring,
346
00:18:47,460 --> 00:18:50,546
Vox Machina will use the distraction
to reach his lair.
347
00:18:50,547 --> 00:18:52,464
How will you get inside?
348
00:18:52,465 --> 00:18:55,384
I've scouted it.
We'll approach from the air.
349
00:18:55,385 --> 00:18:57,469
[Raishan] That won't work.
350
00:18:57,470 --> 00:18:59,930
His children guard it now.
351
00:18:59,931 --> 00:19:01,057
[gasps]
352
00:19:02,058 --> 00:19:05,185
- And who might you be?
- She's, um...
353
00:19:05,186 --> 00:19:07,771
- W-Well...
- An informant.
354
00:19:07,772 --> 00:19:09,481
Her name is Larkin.
355
00:19:09,482 --> 00:19:11,525
Uh, codename, that is.
356
00:19:11,526 --> 00:19:14,903
There is an unprotected back entrance
to Thordak's lair.
357
00:19:14,904 --> 00:19:18,031
A tunnel by the cliffs
too small for a dragon,
358
00:19:18,032 --> 00:19:20,325
but large enough to get inside.
359
00:19:20,326 --> 00:19:23,412
And you assure us the tunnel will be open?
