Sacrifice Page #5

Right, well,

I'll just go and see if Elspeth

needs a hand with anything.

- Excuse me, Elspeth,

have you seen Tora anywhere?

- No.

- Ah. Woah!

Hey, easy there, jumpy.

Everybody's been

wondering where you are.

- What?

- Where's my son?

Duncan, old son, where are you?

Duncan, you're wanted.

Duncan, the honor is yours.

- Tora!

Tora!

- Stay away from me.

- Where're you going?

You can't run from this.

- You're one of them.

- I'm not,

if you couldn't give me a son

they were gonna kill you

to make room

for someone who could.

- But we tried.

We tried so hard.

Even though you knew

what they would do to me!

- I knew you'd never go to term.

- What? How could you know?

- How? How did you know?

What is this?

- It's an unapproved

male contraceptive.

- This is what

you've been taking?

- Yeah.

- Are you even diabetic?

Oh, my god.

Oh, my god.

All this time you let me think

I was the reason

we couldn't have kids when you..

...you were stopping us.

- I was protecting you.

- Protecting me?

- Yeah.

- You robbed me of my chance

to be a mother!

- Do you think

I don't know that?

I had four miscarriages

'cause you were taking

this sh*t!

- And if you hadn't,

you'd have been a mother

for exactly nine days

before they cut

your f***ing heart out!

Is that what I should

have let happen?

Tora, wait!

D-don't you get it?

I do nothing, you die.

I get you pregnant, you die.

So I made a deal.

We adopt one of them..

...they let you live.

- And who's the mother?

- Grey is coming.

- I need to tell him

that you won't talk.

- Who is she?

- Tora, please!

- Who is she?

- It's Dana.

- Dana's alive? She's next?

- There's nothing you can do.

Tora!

Wait! Don't! Tora!

Tora!

No!

Nobody hurts her,

that was the deal.

- You were only allowed

to break tradition

if you could control her,

you couldn't.

If you weren't Richard's son,

I'd finish you right now.

Nobody... Hurts..

...my... Wife!

- She's taken one of the boats.

- Dana?

- Dan..

- Talk to me.

- I have men searching

the island for her.

I don't think

she's in the building.

- I don't pay you to think.

- Well, we'll just

have to keep looking.

She must be here..

- Duncan, what are you

doing here?

- He's looking for his wife.

- No, no, no, no.

- I... I came to warn you.

I... I couldn't reason with her.

- She's here.

- I know.

- Sir, I think

you'd better see this.

- She's found the ward.

Go!

- Dana? Dana, wake up. Wake up!

What is this sh*t?

Dana, can you hear me?

Dana?

- She's not down here.

- I'll wait here

in case she doubles back.

- I don't care who does what.

I just want

the b*tch found, okay?

- I'll deal with your wife,

and when I'm done

maybe I'll take care of you.

- He's gone.

- How did you know?

- I bought you that perfume,

you remember?

Wake her up. Go, go.

- It's okay.

- No, it's this way,

to the lighthouse. Come on.

- Okay. Come on.

- Wait.

Please. My son.

Please.

- You go to the boat.

- No, I'll go.

- Would you even recognize him?

I'll be right behind you.

- Tora, no!

- Jesus!

I'm... I'm sure it's just

a false alarm.

- Oh.

- It's okay. It's okay.

- What are you doing?

Give him to me!

Give him to me!

- You think you can

turn your back on us?

Where's Tora?

Where is she?

- Duncan!

- Dana, run!

Run!

- You disgust me!

You're a traitor to your clan!

- Come on. I've got you.

- Ah!

- If you're not one of us

you can die like one of them!

Ah!

A-a-ah!

- Dana... Come on.

Alright, sweetheart.

- Sweetie, I'm just gonna

put you down for one second.

There you go.

Come on, Dana, get up!

Come on, get up!

- Put her down.

Ah!

You've got guts, Tora.

You would've been

a strong trow mother.

- Don't you touch that baby.

- It's the ninth day.

The ritual must be performed.

The only question is

will it be done by me?

Or you?

- Nobody has to do this.

- The first milk is done.

The colostrum is gone.

Her body is of no more use

to the boy now than... Formula.

- She's his mother.

- No.

- You are.

It's what you've always wanted.

It's what you've dreamed of.

And here he is.

And while other

mothers only think

their children are special,

yours truly will be.

All you have to do..

...is slip the knife into her

and you get to go home.

You get to live your lives.

- What do I have to do?

- Kneel over her.

You need to stab down hard

and slice the rib cage

in a sawing motion.

Do it for your son.

And give thanks for the life

this glorious mother

has given our newest son.

So that our genetic supremacy

may continue.

- Ah!

- Aah!

You think you can kill me?

I'm not man, I'm Kunal trow.

And you... You could

have been part of it.

Instead, you'll be just like

the rest

of your... Miserable kind.

Nothing!

- Tora!

Ah!

Oh, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry.

- D.I. Mckie.

- Go ahead.

- We've got another one.

This one's wearing

a necklace that says Zoe.

- Joss Hawick's wife.

How many's that?

- Too many.

- Can I ask you something?

Did you know about all this?

- I have daughters.

- They were all

somebody's daughter.
