Pandorica (2016) - full transcript
Pandorica revolves around the leadership trials of The Varosha Tribe. Eiren, Ares and Thade are all in line to lead the next generation of their people. Only one of them will become leader but who will it be? Pandorica is an edge of your seat action horror that keeps the twists coming thick and fast.
Rest a moment.
What.
Others.
Go back to sleep.
Breakfast.
She would eat you alive.
Years ago.
I stood exactly
where you stand now.
Waiting to go into this forest
and see whether I
would come out a man
or if I would come out at all.
I can not tell you what
will happen tonight.
No two trials are
exactly the same.
Once this is over.
One of you will
come out in my place
and I will remain here
for the rest of my days.
I want you to remember
simply being chosen leader
doesn't make you one.
You have to earn it.
As I hope I have in my time.
Use your training.
Stay focused.
Do your parents proud.
Good luck with that.
There is one more rule we must
all agree on before we begin.
Whatever happens once we enter
whatever decisions are made
whatever events we face.
whatever decisions are made
Once it is over, they stay here.
You will not speak of it
again and you will not
take it back to the tribe.
Understood?
You will not speak of it
again and you will not
take it back to the tribe.
Then the best of
luck to you all.
He's going this way.
Well?
It's him.
Well?
We should go in the
other direction.
Why?
We should go in the
other direction.
Too obvious.
Why would Nus want
us to get lost?
No Thade.
It's dark and I don't want to
get lost out here for the night.
Do you?
I'm going this way.
You two do what you want.
I'm going this way.
Go on then.
Follow your boyfriend.
Go on then.
Wahhhh.
Wahhhhh!
Looks like it just
between us now.
We're not leaving him here.
Looks like it just
between us now.
Help me get him off this.
Why?
Why? Because I
said so that's why.
Eiren you should
watch your temper.
Why? Because I
said so that's why.
What would Nus think?
Why? Because I
said so that's why.
You are going to help me.
Is that so?
That's what I like about you.
A girl of few words.
Please Ares.
A girl of few words.
It hurts.
Arrrgh
arrrghhh!!!
Bit down on this.
arrrghhh!!!
On three.
One.
Two
One.
Wait, wait, wait.
One.
What?
Are you sure you just don't
want to leave him here?
What?
One.
Two.
Three.
Arrrghh!!!
Well
ill see you two later then.
Well
Huh?
Don't you dare.
What?
I'm not staying out
here with this cripple.
What?
Every animal for thirty miles
is going to smell him bleeding.
Ares.
No offence but you were always
going to be a dead weight.
What do you say Eiren?
I'll give you a head start.
What do you say Eiren?
Let's finish this
just me and you.
What do you say Eiren?
Or how about I slit
your throat now
and leave you both here.
Or how about I slit
your throat now
How does that sound?
Or how about I slit
your throat now
Eiren?
Or how about I slit
your throat now
Nice try?
But you literally
don't have the balls.
I'll leave you to it.
Ohh
And if you see me again.
You will be kneeling at my
feet as your new leader.
And if you see me again.
What a nice thought.
And if you see me again.
Get off.
Why are we stopping?
I've been dragging you
through this forest for hours
and your armpit smells.
I've been dragging you
through this forest for hours
Rest for a while
Ares is probably leader
by now so there's no point
killing ourselves for nothing.
Are we climbing up?
The tree?
Are we climbing up?
Don't be stupid.
Are we climbing up?
What are you looking at?
Are we climbing up?
Not looking.
Are we climbing up?
Listening.
Are we climbing up?
Arghhh..
Maybe we should rest over there.
Congratulations Ares,
you've made it to the birth
place of our first leader.
It is an honour.
Eiren and Thade?
Thade stood on a bear trap.
Eiren stayed with him.
Thade stood on a bear trap.
And you didn't?
Thade stood on a bear trap.
No.
Then we best call out
for them don't you think?
Why are you always so uptight?
i'm just saying
Nus would definitely choose
you if you would just
relax every now and then.
I'm not a leader
and Nus couldn't pick
me even if I were.
People would get
over it eventually.
Yeah right
People would get
over it eventually.
an orphan as leader?
People would get
over it eventually.
Then why spend the last
eight years trying so hard?
What else was I going to do?
Right.
Of course.
They'd be proud of you.
Shut up.
They'd be proud of you.
i'm just saying.
Shut up Thade.
Where?
It's coming.
Where?
Weird.
Weird.
(HORN SOUND)
It's them.
Get up.
It's them.
Why are they calling out for us?
I though it was
against the rules.
Why are they calling out for us?
I don't know.
Why are they calling out for us?
Save your energy Areas.
It's been hours.
Save your energy Areas.
Why we still waiting.
Save your energy Areas.
Why wouldn't we
wait?
Save your energy Areas.
Ahh,
because you think finding
this place makes you worthy
of being the next leader?
We haven't even started yet boy.
Are you ok?
So you didn't get eaten then?
Eiren
Tell me Aries
why exactly didn't you stay
to help one of your own?
I..
why exactly didn't you stay
to help one of your own?
He's a coward.
I was asking him and not you.
He's a coward.
Because he is a fool.
He would have gotten
us all killed.
Because he is a fool.
You should be willing
to die for your people.
And you.
You should be willing
to die for your people.
Whats your excuse?
I saved him.
Ares is right.
I saved him.
You could have gotten
the hole group killed.
I saved him.
You act without thinking,
that makes you as bad as Ares.
I saved him.
And you.
You
you are an idiot.
So this is the
pick of the litter.
Then we might as we begin.
Our ancestors came
from this forest
survivors of the old world
who were already
here when it fell.
survivors of the old world
The story goes that the
tribe argued over what
they should do next
and split into two groups.
One went in search
of the old world.
The other group stayed
and built the village
in which you now stands.
One went in search
of the old world.
They were happy for a time.
But one night.
While a fire burnt brightly.
The others returned.
Our men fought bravely
but slowly they were
butchered one by one.
Until only the
young boy's remains.
One of those boy's
Samuel, had always had
a talent for hiding.
Took what was left of our
village and taught them
to blend into the trees
and hide in the forest
until the others
gave up and left.
As dawn broke.
Samuel led what was left
of our people out of the
forest and to our new home
Varosha.
No longer a boy.
But a leader.
No longer a boy.
Tonight.
You will make the same journey.
Once this fire is lit.
Anything could come out of the
trees.
Once this fire is lit.
Or perhaps nothing
will come at all.
Once this fire is lit.
Every trial is different
and every group deals with
the challenge differently.
Every trial is different
But in the end.
One of you
will emerge the new leader.
One of you
Light the fire.
Well go on then.
This is a man's honour
Right?
This is a man's honour
That is right.
Now what?
We wait.
Now what?
Great.
More waiting.
Some things never change.
You're still sitting on your
own all the time, I see.
I'm used to it.
You know... I've always
seen myself as a father
to the whole tribe, but
some more than others.
I am grateful.
Your father would be
proud to see, that you
have made it this far.
It feels right, that I
should end up going out
the same way he did.
I had to watch your father
die in this place. I would
rather I didn't have to go
through the same with you.
It feels right, that I
should end up going out
the same way he did.
You should watch Ares tonight.
Just as you remind me of your
father, so he reminds me of his.
Was it his father
that killed mine?
You know I can't tell you.
Was it his father
that killed mine?
Why do you always have to
be so righteous with me...
And why do you always have
to be so bad tempered?
Why do you always have to
be so righteous with me...
This would be an easy
competition, if you would
just get over yourself.
You're not my father.
And you're no leader.
Not yet anyway.
Doesn't that piss you off?
What?
Nus.
What?
Treating that
differently to us.
He practically raised her
She shouldn't even be here.
Who's legacy does
she even carry?
All her family are already dead.
Nus's decision is final Ares.
If he chooses Eiren
Tough shit.
We'll see.
I like her anyway.
Nus was right.
You are an idiot
Where are you going?
Please.
Help me.
Ares.
What?
Others.
Then your trial has arrived.
Please, their coming.
Who is coming?
Who is coming?
Gods.
Give us the girl and the box.
We don't carry about
the rest of you.
You can go.
I'll do it.
I swear
Please.
You have to help me
get rid of this box.
Dead?
Ares.
What?
I'm just looking.
It's dangerous.
So?
Child.
I don't think we should
be messing with that Ares.
Thade is right Ares.
Leave it alone.
Thade is right Ares.
Why should I?
What did you say?
This is a trail, correct?
So it is up to us,
that is the rules.
Your job, is to watch.
Decide who you think
should be the next leader.
And you think I
might choose you?
No.
I would not dream of it.
You have already earmarked
your princess over there.
With that honour.
Very well.
You decide what you do next.
But together as a group.
If you want to be a leader Ares.
You have to prove yourself.
Thade.
You go first.
I think we should give
them the girl and that box.
Why should we get
involved with this?
What if they decide
to come back.
And kill us all.
What if they decide
to come back.
After they have whatever it is.
Well then we go
before they come back.
Leave the girl and the box here.
Maybe I should have left you
stuck in that trap earlier.
How does waiting here to
die because of a box we know
nothing about make any sense?
Maybe I should have left you
stuck in that trap earlier.
Maybe those others.
Are watching us right now.
As soon as we leave
they will take the box.
And follow us back to Varosha
And kill the hole tribe.
And follow us back to Varosha
Well then what do you suggest?
And follow us back to Varosha
We keep the box.
It is power.
They are afraid of it.
It is the only
reason they ran off.
And it is the only reason
why we aren't dead yet.
And what about her?
She shows us how it use it.
Otherwise we kill her.
And you think this is the type
of leader I should choose?
Tell me Ares.
After you have discovered
what to do with
whatever is in the box
What will you do next?
Perhaps you will think
yourself a god too.
you would prefer we
spend the rest of our
live answering to her.
The orphan.
You speak of tradition.
But yet.
You make the tribe
pet our new leader.
She is a disaster
waiting to happen.
And you know it.
Eiren
There she goes again.
Just doing whatever she wants
without asking anybody else.
I was bored of your voice.
Arrrghhh!
Wahhhhh!!!!
First we find out more.
Then we decide what to do.
See.
You are ignorant.
Just like your father was.
Where is it?
Where is it?
Give her the box.
Now.
Who are you?
Drink.
Not all of it.
Sorry.
Eiren.
You?
Flynn.
Who are you?
Where are you from?
Who are you?
Why do you want to know that?
Who are you?
That's not important right now.
Who were those men
that followed you here?
Three, Six and Nine.
Named after the
numbers on the box.
They are gods?
Named after the
numbers on the box.
That's what they say.
Because of what is in the box.
What is it?
My people worship it.
Whoever has the
box rule the city.
Who are the masked men?
They are the chosen ones.
Guardians of the box.
I'm going to get rid
of it forever tho.
You could help me.
Why?
Please.
My parents died
to still this box.
I have to finish it.
How?
No Eiren.
You are not in charge.
No Eiren.
Eiren please.
How?
There's a lake.
On other side of the forest.
At the edge of the old world.
It's where the box
first came from.
I'm going to throw it
deep into the watch.
This is a bad idea.
This is your trial.
This is your discussion.
This is ball shit.
You heard the woman.
She comes from a great city.
They know that we exist now.
We need to box.
It is the only reason
why they will stay away.
The box is the only reason
why they will try and find us.
It is the only reason
why they will stay away.
We need to leave now.
And forget we ever saw this.
We need to leave now.
And how long do you
think you would last
with your leg like that?
You need the box
more than any of us.
You left him in
the first earlier.
And now you care
all of a sudden.
You left him in
the first earlier.
Shut up Eiren.
You left him in
the first earlier.
Or what?
You left him in
the first earlier.
Quite.
Both of you.
What?
Their back.
Eeeekkkk!
Open the box.
Open the box.
Give it.
We need to hide.
Eiren.
Arrrghhh!
BANG!
Go, go now. This is mine.
Thade.
You.
Are a lot harder to kill
than your father was.
he cried like a dog.
Very amusing.
Arrrghhh!
And you taste better
than he did too.
BANG!
Arrrghhh.
Open your eye's Nus
Don't die
Not here.
Bosses.
Human after all.
Your not ready.
None of you are.
From death.
We are able to live.
What does this mean?
I don't know.
he said you weren't ready.
He didn't choose you.
he said you weren't ready.
He didn't choose us either.
One of us has to earn it.
How?
Ok?
Ok.
Put it in the box.
Why?
Where is this lake of yours?
I can show you.
How do we earn it?
We get rid of that box.
Journey well brother.
You ok?
Yeah.
How far?
I'm not sure.
I don't recognise where I am.
Just take a moment.
No.
No stopping.
She's not your pet, back off.
She's going to
get us all killed.
She's injured no thanks to you.
She's going to
get us all killed.
I will be ok.
We should carry on.
I will be ok.
You do not get to decide
when and where we stop.
You are not the leader.
Neither are you.
We should take the box
Go back home, kill
the three masked men.
We should take the box
But no we die out
here for this other.
This box.
Will never come back to Varosha.
Says who?
You?
Where's the other one?
Thade?
Open the box.
Shut up.
Open the box.
Thade.
Hey.
You are an idiot.
Not you too.
We should all stick together.
I found something.
I've never seen
anything like it.
Weapon?
No, no i don't think so.
What is it?
No idea.
It's old world tho.
At least we know we are
heading in the right direction.
Good.
You lead for a while.
My pleasure.
Was he your father?
No.
Was he your father?
But close.
My parents died years ago.
How?
My mother died when I was born.
My father died here
is these trials.
I'm sorry.
Did they kill your parents?
How?
After the raid, they knew
they had been followed.
So they gave me the box.
And told me to head to the old
world and throw it in the lake.
At first I did as I was told.
But I couldn't leave them.
So I hide the box in the
forest and went back.
It was too late tho.
Nine had killed them all.
I saw my mother with
her throat slit.
They hit me with
a spear a day ago.
If I had never gone back
they would have had no idea
and I would have thrown this
thing in the lake by now.
If I had never gone back
they would have had no idea
Let me see.
Is it bad?
Yeah.
Am I going to be ok?
Thade.
How is your foot?
Thade.
Like you care.
We must face facts.
It's rare anyone make it
alive out of these trials
Other than the leader.
you really want to die tonight?
Look
All I'm saying is how much of
a chance do you think you have
with your foot like that against
the others?
What can I do?
Help me become leader.
We take the box.
We go home safely
and stay that way.
You must see that by now.
No Ares.
That is not earning it.
Says who?
Nus.
Nus is dead Thade.
And so are we if we
don't do something.
Why should I
help you be leader?
Look at you.
You are not cut out for this.
And neither is she.
You have seen her temper.
She will get the hole
tribe killed eventually.
Thade.
I see your face.
You see the power.
You liked it.
How?
WE split them up.
You distract Eiren.
I'll take the box
from the other.
No killing anyone.
She's already dead.
As for Eiren.
No killing Eirens.
Or I'm out.
We must protector
her understand?
Understand?
Come with me.
Can you run?
Go.
We need to go back
and stop Ares.
Why?
We need to go back
and stop Ares.
I'm so sorry.
Thade!
I'm sorry.
What for?
Ares.
He wants to box.
He's going to kill her?
I knew.
Your an idiot.
I didn't want to die.
It's ok.
I would have chosen you.
Arrrghhh...
Back off.
Arghhh.
It's ok.
What are you doing?
What am I doing?
What are you doing?
Look at you.
you are no leader.
Where is Thade?
We are dying out here.
Where is Thade?
And for what?
This other.
I'm going to take the box.
And i'll use it on
you if I have to.
We can go back to the camp.
Tell them bus picked me.
And I might let you live.
Sounds great i'll pass.
Why don't you think
this through for once.
Believe me for once I am.
Or I would have
killed you already.
You kill me. I don't think so.
Maybe he can help.
CRACH!
Get up.
I'm done.
Take the box.
Throw it deep into the lake.
For my parents.
It's ok.
I'm here.
Eiren, I'm heart.
Erien.
Your alive, good for you.
Where's the other.
Where is it?
I don't think so Ares.
You are not getting that box.
You just don't get it do you?
I know, you've
given your speech.
We're all going to
die, bla, bla, bla.
I know, you've
given your speech.
No.
I know, you've
given your speech.
I'm not going to die.
Just you.
Cute.
So your a god?
I thought you'd be taller.
Where is the box?
Your friend here
has told me about that
little tribe of yours.
Sounds nice.
I might pay it a visit.
Give me the box.
I
will drink the blood
of every man, woman and
child you have ever known.
will drink the blood
And when I am done.
Their skin will decorate
the walls of my home.
Now
Give me the box.
We're here because of you Eiren.
Because of your choices.
Nobody else has to die tonight.
I will protect them.
Just tell him where it is.
Ok.
Kill him.
And I'll tell you.
Done.
No wait we had a deal.
Arrrghhh!
How do we earn it?
We get rid of that box.
HORN SOUND
It's Eiren.
I'm starting to like her.
You came back.
And you brought my box too.
Look like you make
friends quickly.
You are just a silly
girl playing with toy's
you don't understand.
Give me that box.
It is your only choice.
Think about it.
I have.
And I think.
If you want this box.
Come and get it.
Where is the box?
I should just kill
you right now.
Try.
Such a waist.
All you have to do is
just do a your told.
I'm not good at that.
Arrrghhh!
I am a god.
You don't get to kill me.
Please, help me.
