[gasps] Stop. [gasps] [laughter] [gasps] I'll come. [screaming] [gasps] [laughter] [gasps] [clears throat] I'll come back.
Speaker A
[screaming] [gasps] [screaming] Elara. Your baby? You had the baby? He didn't survive. Oh, Elara.
Speaker A
Where is he? I buried him in the mountains. You should have come to us.
Speaker A
I just wanted to be alone. You buried him by yourself? Yes. Come on, Marda. Leave her be.
Speaker A
Hey, it's okay. Hungry? Try this. What about this? [snorts] No? Then what do you eat, little one?
Speaker A
I know you're hungry. [snorts and clears throat] What is it? [snorts] Meat? You want meat?
Speaker A
[sighs and gasps] Nessa, she's lying to us. We need to keep an eye on her.
Speaker A
Stay here. So you'll always have something to remember me by. I'm sorry, Steve. For meat?
Speaker A
As much as it's worth. Alora! That's a lot of meat, Alora. For just one person.
Speaker A
Since I lost the baby, I've been weak. I need to get my strength back.
Speaker A
Of course. I'm sorry. I should get home. Marda? Something about her doesn't feel right.
Speaker A
Is this what you wanted? Oh. [laughter] You really were hungry. Again? Slowly, little one.
Speaker A
She's gone. You ate all of that? You really did eat it all. Come on.
Speaker A
Time to sleep. [sighs] [gasps] [laughter] All right, Vesemir. Alora, you have to go. [screaming] [gasps] Ember.
Speaker A
[sighs and gasps] Ember. How [snorts] did you get so big so fast? [screaming] Really?
Speaker A
[laughter] I'm going to need a bigger tub soon. Look at you. You're getting so big.
Speaker A
You're hungry again? You need more food now. I suppose I can be cold, but you can't go hungry.
Speaker A
I'll bring you food. Nessa, would you buy this? It's beautiful. I made it myself. It took me a long time.
Speaker A
Take care of it. Alora, you still haven't recovered. You need more meat already. I'm still getting my strength back.
Speaker A
Back again? As much meat as these will buy. [laughter] Slow down. Father Elden, something is wrong.
Speaker A
What do you mean? I can feel it. Something bad is coming. There's something among us, something that eats meat, a monster, and I think Alora is hiding it.
Speaker A
Alora? Mhm. [clears throat] Ember? Ember? Look [snorts] at you. Tentatively, you learned to make fire.
Speaker A
[clears throat] Ember, wait. What? I knew it. Ember, you need to hide, quickly. Alora, open the door.
Speaker A
Crouch against the wall. Oh, Marda. Where is it? Where is what? The monster. What monster?
Speaker A
The one I saw above your house. You saw nothing. I know what I saw.
Speaker A
You can't force your way into my home. Don't touch my things. You searched my home. There's no monster here. Now, get out.
Speaker A
This isn't over, Alora. I know what I saw. Come on, Marda. [sighs and gasps] We need to fix that.
Speaker A
Keep still. Woo. There. Father, [sighs] I told you she had a monster. I saw it tonight, but it disappeared. I'm afraid.
Speaker A
Go home and rest, Marda. Jesus will guide you through the night. At first light, we'll see what you saw.
Speaker A
[gasps] Alora's monster. It ate my sheep. Oh God, a monster. [laughter] Alora has hidden a monster right under our noses. Right under our noses. It ate my sheep. It ate my sheep. You've been hiding it from all of us. It killed my
Speaker A
sheep. Alora has been hiding it. [gasps] A monster. Alora kept a monster inside her house.
Speaker A
Father. Father. [screaming] Father, Alora has a monster in her house. It ate my sheep. She hid it from all of us.
Speaker A
Come. You come, too. Come with us. You need to see this. Stop joking, Marda.
Speaker A
I'm not joking. Come, I'll show you. Really? Have you seen a monster? There. I told you. Come out, witch. We know what you're hiding.
Speaker A
Bring the monster out. Alora, come out now. [laughter] You witch. You drew a monster. You gave birth to a monster.
Speaker A
No, Ember. Don't hurt anyone, please. I said no. Don't hurt them. She controls that creature. She is a witch.
Speaker A
No, Ember. [screaming] Right, sir. Pretty pal. Monster. Monster. Stop. He's hurting anyone. You're with
Speaker A
the witch, too? [clears throat] Look, she's not hurting me. Just enough at his head. If you value your life, stay quiet.

Your son ate my sheep. [screaming] No, Ember. You have to go. [clears throat] Please, Ember.
Speaker A
You have to fly. You have to go. Please. [gasps] Fly, Ember. [screaming] Go. Take care, my little baby.
Speaker A
[laughter] I'll deal with him later. First, I'll finish you. He'll come back for me.
Speaker A
She is a witch. Kill the witch. Ember, Ember go. Ember go. Go, Ember. Fly.
Speaker A
[screaming] Get away from here. Go, Ember. Go, Ember, go. Don't hurt anyone. Just go.
Speaker A
Go. Go, Ember. Fly. [screaming] Go. [sighs and gasps] [gasps and sighs] Ember. [clears throat] God will be pleased with me.
Speaker A
I killed a witch. We cannot bury her in our graveyard. She was a witch.
Speaker A
Then throw her into the valley behind the village. [screaming] Yes, yes. Yes, yes. Eat her.
Speaker A
You poisoned the good doctor with your poison. She raised this monster. This witch brought a monster into our village. This is her fault. She protected this creature.
Speaker A
Monster! Kill the monster! Do not let it stay here. Drive it away! Don't hurt anyone, Amber.
Speaker A
Don't hurt anyone. Just go. [clears throat and groaning] Don't hurt anyone! Go [cheering] away! Just go! Go, Amber! Go!

Monster! Tell the monster. Do not let it stay here. Drive it away. Ember. Ember.
Speaker A
Let go. Let [screaming] Wait, Dad. Look, he's not hurting me. Come on. Black face.
Speaker A
[music] [laughter] [clears throat] Then what do you eat, little one? I know you're hungry.
Speaker A
I'm sorry, Steve. Really? I'm going to need a bigger tub soon. [laughter] Slow down.
Speaker A
God will be pleased with me. I killed a witch. We cannot bury her in our graveyard.
Speaker A
She was a witch. [music] [music] Where was our first thing, Shau Ni Ni? [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] Too slow, old bones.
Speaker A
Slow ones go to the pit. [panting] My lord, a dragon. It breathed one fire. It burnt my whole village.
Speaker A
[sighs and gasps] Dragons breathe ice, woman. There's been no fire in 30 years. Then what did this to my face?
Speaker A
Fire, how lovely. Every fire can be taught to kneel. Saddle the legion and give the woman a horse.
Speaker A
[music] That one. That's the beast. This? This is the terror of the valley? A pink lap [music] dog guarding a corpse.
Speaker A
Gently. I want it alive. Broken, but alive. Look at you now, witch. Where's your monster?
Speaker A
Leave the corpse to the crows. [panting] I'll bring him back to you, Elara. I swear it.
Speaker A
I couldn't leave you to the crows. You deserve better than crows. He'll be cold up there.
Speaker A
He always hated the cold. [sighs] [panting] Cole. Emba. Emba? Emba! Emba! [screaming] Where is Emba? Where is my son? Who took Emba?
Speaker A
Who took my son? [panting] What's that you're hiding, pinkling? Smells like a grave. Your mother is crow meat now, freak.
Speaker A
[music] [music] I was in the ground. I remember the cold. They killed you, Alora. The whole village. I was there.
Speaker A
And Emba? [music] He burned it. Every house. Then he stayed at your grave. He wouldn't leave you.
Speaker A
That's my boy. [music] An army came. Black dragons. They chained him and took him north.
Speaker A
You just came out of the ground. They'll kill you twice. I told him I would come back.
Speaker A
I'm not finished coming back. Show them, beast. Show them the fire that burned a village.
Speaker A
[laughter] Is that it, pinkling? You burned a village for your mother. That's love. I'll take the love out of you first.
Speaker A
Every fire can be taught to kneel. Pinkling, I like that. No food until it learns to bow.
Speaker A
Your father's pretty work. [music] Worth the code in the high path, maybe. Cole, your father's bow.
Speaker A
He'd have liked y
Speaker A
[snorts] There. Now you look alive. Hungry pinklin? Fire breathers eat last. Or never. [snorts] Well, charity in my kennels.
Speaker A
You share with the freak old bones, you starve with the freak. It's only water. I won't tell.
Speaker A
I remember my mother used to say the same thing when I was a kid.
Speaker A
[music] [gasps] Really? [laughter] She controls [music] that creature. She is a witch. [music] [music] Fire is a privilege, pinkling. You haven't earned it.
Speaker A
[groaning] Do it, boy, or you're next on the anvil. Please, sir, it's only Burn, little flame.
Speaker A
Oh, wait. You can't. [screaming] No work, no bread. Go away. Dragons tear mark. You died, girl.
Speaker A
Inside. No. A dragon wept on you. [music] It gave you its tears and a little of its life, borrowed, not given.
Speaker A
How long? When the light goes out, you go with [music] it. 30 years ago, I rode the last fire dragon.
Speaker A
Fire dragons carry a storm inside. Mine woke it only once. Then help me get [music] to my son before it goes out.
Speaker A
[music] I pulled it from the coals. It's not much, but it's hers, isn't it?
Speaker A
I told you before. Next. My niece, deaf and slow in the head. She washes well.
Speaker A
Pretty for a slow one. Let's see your face. Go on, lift it. She's got lice.
Speaker A
You, ice yard, move. [panting] Happened to Ryan. FIRE! THE PINK BEAST IS LOOSE! THE BOY LET IT LOOSE!
Speaker A
[screaming] GENERAL, see what we have here. A traitor and his beast. LIES! YOU KNOW NOTHING!
Speaker A
[groaning] 20 LASHES FOR THE BOY and the beast. In three nights the moon is full. It kneels for the saddle or it dies.
Speaker A
We call it the breaking. FEED IT AND GET OUT, WASHER. [screaming] ONE. GOOD. FIVE.
Speaker A
FIVE. [screaming] NINE. SCREAM, BOY. IT HELPS. [snorts] DOWN, pink lady. [screaming] There it is.
Speaker A
He's not the monster. [panting] You are. You little runt. [laughter] Let him keep his tongue.
Speaker A
He'll need it to scream at the full moon. Get away from me, you filthy thing. You!
Speaker A
The dragon lover from the valley. You came for your pink beast. Stay down. I came alone, you hear me? Alone!
Speaker A
That one's worth silver. Alone! Alone! Go. Not now. Not for him. For the boy.
Speaker A
Pay back! Pay back! Three nights ago this beast burned my straw. Tonight it learns what fire is for.
Speaker A
Your only friend, pinkling. Kill him, or you both starve on the ice. Fight! Tear its throat, YOU OLD CARCASS.
Speaker A
TOO SLOW, OLD BONES. Always too slow. He didn't even need to try. Remember that.
Speaker A
Kneel, and the boy lives. Refuse, and he learns to fly. Every fire can be taught to kneel.
Speaker A
[cheering] I will come back. Your mother is crow meat now, freak. [laughter] Who came with you? Who's feeding the freak?
Speaker A
[laughter] Nobody. I came for the dragon, that's all. Your pink freak knelt last night.
Speaker A
Where's my saddle now? Knelt like a dog. You defended it then. You'll hang for it now.
Speaker A
[laughter] Hold on, Ellaria. [music] Tomorrow night, maybe less. Then it's tonight. You'll burn what little light you have left.
Speaker A
He knelt for a stranger's boy. [music] I won't make him wait for his mother.
Speaker A
Then I'll make [music] the noise. Old women are very good at noise. [music] Wings level. Good.
Speaker A
You see how easy obedience is? A kneeling fire is still fire. Now burn. Hey, slave! [screaming] Hey slave!
Speaker A
[cheering] That's not you. That's not you. Buck up, boy. You're his mother. Not here.
Speaker A
Cell and dungeon. Girl eats his supper at the bell. I'm sorry. I held my dying son. Help for me.
Speaker A
Then help me stand him back up. [snorts] My knees! My poor knees! SOMEONE HELP AN OLD WOMAN!
Speaker A
LARA. GOD, we have to leave now. I swore I'd bring him back to you.
Speaker A
Then keep it. Tonight. You washing girl. Where are you taking him? You're dead. I watched you die. Your monster gave me this face.
Speaker A
You gave yourself that face, [music] Marta. Farac! THE DEAD WITCH! THE DEAD WITCH IS HERE!
Speaker A
HERE, LARA. GO. Go to him. The hero of the pink freak. LOOK AT YOU.
Speaker A
[screaming and groaning] STAY DOWN, HERO. PINK LADY. Pink lady. [music] [music] [music] [music] I came back. [music] Touching.
Speaker A
Truly. Take them both. I told you the dead don't stay dead unless you help them.

Speaker A
Back! Back, you pink freak! The barn, it was me. I LIED ABOUT THE BARN. I'LL TELL BERK. PLEASE. PLEASE, little flame.
Speaker A
[music] [music] Hold them! Hold the door! That's new. These are mine. ALL OF THEM. MINE!
