Sunny
- Quinn: People once thought this a holy book. They believed it held the answers from a god that would save them. Boys, there is no god in the Badlands. How do I know? A god does not feed you or clothe you or protect you. I do. Most of you are orphans. Your parents died after a life of servitude and left you to pay off their debt. But I'm offering you a different path. The strongest among you will have the opportunity to train as one of my Clippers. Some see Clippers as cold, heartless killers. But the men that fill this fort are more than that. They're my family. Once you're accepted into my family, there is no other family. Boys, I'm not asking you to be monks. You can wick whatever you want. But a Clipper's loyalty is to his baron. That's the first rule of our code. In return, you get the best of everything... Food, weapons, women. Come here, Sunny. Remove the vest. Quite a sight, isn't it? Each mark represents a life, a life that Sunny has taken without remorse, without regret. Because he kills for one reason, and what is that, Sunny?
- Sunny: To protect your interests, Baron.
- Quinn: That's right. To protect my interests, Baron. 404 souls, all taken for me. No Clipper in the Badlands is more feared or more loyal. This man standing here is a far cry from the miserable whelp I laid eyes on all those years ago. Sunny was found naked and shivering down by the Rabbit River, no parents, no past, no name. I figured if the Badlands hadn't killed him, there must be a strength inside him, so I took him in, forged him into the man you see today. Maybe the boy who will follow in his footsteps is in this room. Is it you? Or you? Or you?
- Tenko: You lost, stranger?
- Sunny: Nomads ambushed a transport a couple miles back. Killed all the cogs except one.
- Tenko: We don't deal in human cargo here. What's your interest?
- Sunny: The transport belonged to my baron.
- Tenko: Check it out, boys. We got a real live Clipper here. Don't you dogs usually travel in packs?
- Sunny: What's in the trunk?
- Tenko: That's none of your damn business.
- Sunny: What happened in that bathroom? I've never seen anything like that before. That's why the Widow was looking for you, right? If I told Quinn what I saw, he would turn you into something you don't want to be. I need the truth.
- M.K.: I don't know what that is. It happens when I bleed. Ever since I was little, it's been this way. It's like something takes control of me. When I wake up, someone's been hurt or worse. It's my fault my mother and I had to leave our home. My mother had heard about a healer who could fix me. When we went to find him, we were caught by nomads and separated. I've been looking for her ever since. That's my home. That's Azra.
- Sunny: Azra?
- M.K.: Yes, it's beyond the Badlands. Where did you get that?
- Sunny: Do you remember how to get there?
- M.K.: No, I... I don't. It was a long time ago. Look, can I please just get my pendant back? It's the last thing I have to remember my mother.
- Sunny: The baron's son took it.
- M.K.: Well, I'm getting it back.
- Sunny: Don't be stupid. Go back to the barracks and keep your head down. Understood?
- Ryder: You need to reconsider your position. We have to move against the Widow.
- Sunny: Your father made his decision.
- Ryder: No, you made the decision. He agreed, like always. He's not himself. I know you see it, too. The headaches. We have to protect him.
- Sunny: I have always protected him.
- Ryder: By doing nothing, you're digging his grave.
- M.K.: Go away.
- Sunny: I told you to stay in the barracks.
- M.K.: Who gave you that compass?
- Sunny: It doesn't matter.
- M.K.: You kept it for a reason. You're hoping Azra's out there, too.
- Sunny: You're going to die in the morning. You know that, don't you?
- M.K.: Sunny, could you promise me something? Somehow, could you find my mom? Tell her that I'm sorry? I tried to find her. I never gave up. And that I love her.
- Sunny: I'll never be able to keep that promise, kid.
- [Sunny breaks M.K.'s chains with his sword.]
- Sunny: Find your mom and tell her yourself.
