Killjoys (TV Series)

The Sugar Point Run (2015)

Rob Stewart: Khlyen

Quotes 

• Khlyen : [In the present, Dutch opens the red box she received last episode, revealing a knife. We hear Khlyen's voiceover, and Dutch has a flashback to when she was young, looking at an identical red box, with Khlyen standing behind her]  One name, one weapon. From the time you receive the box, you'll have one week to do as I've asked.

  Yalena : What happens if I don't?

  Khlyen : Very bad things.

• Yalena : [In flashback. She is struggling, tied to a chair, facing a middle-aged man, gagged and tied to his own chair]  Please, please! It's not my fault, I didn't pick you, he did!

  Khlyen : [From behind her]  You're being emotional, little bird.

  Yalena : I didn't want this!

  Khlyen : That's why we're here. You tried to refuse the gift.

  [We see the knife from the red box, sitting on a table, between Yalena and the man] 

  Khlyen : Sadly, the only way out of here now is if you reach the gift first. It's him or you.

  Yalena : Please, Khlyen - I don't want to kill him!

  Khlyen : [Disappointedly]  From where I'm standing, little bird... it doesn't look like you can.

  [the man has gotten partway loose. Khlyen continues, to Yalena] 

  Khlyen : I thought you were special. I thought you wanted to make me proud.

  Yalena : I do!

  Khlyen : Divorce yourself from your feelings! Master your body! Own the pain!

  [Yalena closes her eyes, breathes deeply, then opens her eyes with determination, and we hear cracking as she dislocates her own joints to free herself] 

• Khlyen : [Handing Yalena a cloth]  Clean your weapon, and get back to your chambers.

  [She is standing still, in shock] 

  Khlyen : It was him or you. Never let it be you.

  Yalena : But... but who was he? Why him?

  Khlyen : 'Why' is a question that my little bird must never ask.

  [He kisses her head, and leaves. The camera pans down to the bloody corpse of the man she bested] 

  Dutch : [Later, in the present, Dutch attacks a man with the knife from the most recent red box. She pushes him up against the wall]  Khlyen wants you dead. And I wanna know why.
