The Tribe · Season 1
[Danni and Bray wake up Lex.]
Listen, Danni, Bray! Normally I would be overjoyed to discuss something like this with you in the middle of the night, but ...
It's not the middle of the night, Lex, it's the beginning of the day and you need to get to work like the rest of us.
Nag, nag, nag!
We have achieved great things today Guardian.
We have indeed Supreme Mother, we have indeed.
Supreme Mother?
More like Supreme Fruitcake.
Come on Ebony, I was brilliant. I had that audience in the palm of my hand.
I thought it was a team effort?
Yeah, you and Bray were only the puppets. I had to drive the show and show them how the Supreme Mother was just a fantasy created by that freak, The Guardian.
Just Lex the invincible!
Yeah! I reckon I should have been an actor. Or a rock star!
Maybe you should just stick to being a rock! Or something that lives underneath it.
Do you believe in dreams, Luke? Their power of prophecy?
No.
That’s right. You’re a man of practicalities. That’s why you run our security.
[To Lex and Bray] You want me to list what our little rebellion has achieved so far? A few drums of petrol up in smoke, a few freed slaves, a hijacked puppet show! We’re just knits in their hair.
We end this thing once and for all. We’re gonna wipe out The Guardian!
I’m having deja vu.
You know, you’re real cute when you’re angry.
You make me sick!
Yeah, well, you know, I try.
I was thinking, I don’t have the right to take somebody’s life. I don’t understand. What is that? Fear?
[smiles] No. Incredible as it may seem Lex, it was probably the straining hand of morality making a fleeting appearance in your mind.
Oh! [laughs] Really? Maybe I’m not so bad after all. [pause] You won’t tell anybody I said that, will you? I don’t wanna lose any cred.
I’ll take it to the grave with me.
Ellie, have you got something going with Luke?
No, of course not!
You’re everything to me. You know that, don’t you? I’ve always tried to protect you, be there for you.
Yeah, you have. Alice…
And through it all, no matter how bad things have got, I’ve always known at least there’s you. At least there’s Ellie to trust. I don’t know what’s going on. I don’t want to. But don’t lose your head, Ellie. Don’t lose your heart. Because you break mine if you do.
[Andy is forcing a lock]
Where did you guys learn all this stuff?
School.
I have to think about my baby. They’re not gonna protect me, are they? The Mall Rats … or what’s left of them. You don’t know what it’s like having a baby grow inside you. All you wanna do is keep it safe. And that’s what I was trying to do. No one understands that. Maybe you do? I’ve seen how you are. You’re scared too, aren’t you?
We’re all scared Salene. Every last one of us.
[Andy, Tally and KC created T-shirts with a portrait of Tai-San]
It’s not too bad. But how about we add this? Hail Tai-San, true Supreme Mother!
Yeah, now that’ll sell.
[At the ceremony for the new Supreme Mother] T-shirts going fast! Hail Tai-San! True Supreme … [He sees Lex] … mother.
What did you say?
But you know Lex. All talk and no action.
No. This time he meant it.
[playing their roles as the Chosen watch] Thank you, Great Oracle of Zoot for honouring me of your visit.
The honour is mine, Supreme Mother.
