Ursus in the Land of Fire (1963) - full transcript

[MUSIC PLAYING]

[HORSE NEIGHING]

-Ah!

Woah!

Stop!

Stop.

Help!

Help!

Help, help me!

-Princess Diana.

She's in danger.



-Don't you move.

-Ah!

Help!

-Diana!

-Help!

Help!

Help!

Help!

-And, you see, someone
is always watching

out for the daughter
of our king.

It was absolutely unnecessary
for us to intervene.

[HORSE NEIGHING]

-Hamilan is coming.

-Halt.



What's going on here?

-Well, the princess had
fallen into the lake and--

-Lero.

Is this the way you guard the
safety of the Princess Diana?

How dare you allow this man
to put his hands on her?

-Mila, take care of her.

-Ursus, you, the leader
of the shepherds,

are the first one to have
broken our agreement.

You know no one must
cross over that border.

I've know for a long time now
that you and your friends,

the shepherds, have wanted to
invade your side of the lake.

They have control of
the water, and thus

dominate this territory.

-Huh.

You can't fool me
with this story.

And I know what your plans are.

You have the nerve to say you're
the great protector of justice,

in the interest of your people,
when in reality, you only

want to further
your own ambitions.

-Whoever crosses that border
is punished with death.

And you have done that.

-One moment, Hamilan.

It's useless to kill a
strong man like this.

I could use another slave.

Let me have him.

-What's that?

So, this is how the king's
niece gets her lovers.

-How dare you say that?

You filthy shepherd.

-Stop, or I'll kill him.

-Stay back.

It could be dangerous.

HAMILAN: Shoot him down!

Quickly!

Shoot him!

-You were very fortunate, Diana.

-I don't remember anything
after that terrible fall.

Who saved me?

-My men.

-What was Ursus
doing here with us?

-Ursus?

He wanted to stop
us from saving you.

-I find that
difficult to believe.

-He's your father's enemy.

I'm sure of it.

[INTERPOSING VOICES]

-Forget her.

She only cares for Ursus.

-We must be careful around
her until the time comes.

-Princess Diana.

General Hamilan.

And Lady Mila.

-What is it, Hamilan?

-King Lotar, the shepherds are
beginning to be too aggressive.

Ursus tried to kidnap
your own daughter today,

when the princess fell from a
horse, she lost consciousness.

Ursus even attempted to
take her across the border.

Maybe he was taking
her as a hostage.

Or by kidnapping Diana,
they'd try to blackmail us

into giving them complete
control of the water.

That way, your
friends, the shepherds,

would have what
they always wanted.

You must act now.

But even though they failed
in this first attempt,

they can still try taking
our land by surprise.

To control the lake.

Then we'd be dependent on them.

And then soon, we'd
be their slaves.

However, we could reverse
the situation, if only we--

-The shepherds are
a peaceful people.

And they don't have
resources to entertain

such war-like notions.

-But Ursus is their
leader, and he's ambitious.

And even if they're unarmed,
they can still be dangerous.

Very dangerous.

And Ursus has clearly shown
his aggressive intentions.

-Can anyone here confirm this?

-Yes, I can.

Ursus tried to kidnap her.

-If he even knew, Mila,
my niece, say it's so,

then I'm forced to believe it.

Ursus will have to be
tried and punished.

-We would be able to destroy
all the shepherds in just one

night if we have
a surprise attack.

And you, your
majesty, would become

ruler of an even
vaster territory.

Then we could control the
largest sources of water

that exists for miles and miles.

And each and every caravan that
must cross over our borders

will be forced to
pay us a special tax.

-I told you we
would judge Ursus.

He'll be the one to pay.

-It will be done as you order.

I have a plan to capture him.

-It won't be easy
to do, Hamilan.

Because most of our
soldiers are afraid of him.

Anyway, good luck.

-Is it really true that
Ursus is dangerous?

-Yes.

He must be killed.

-I hate all this talk of death.

It's very unpleasant.

-To condemn to death is one of
the prerogatives of a ruler.

-I know.

But, when I become queen, I
hope I shan't have to use it.

-This bracelet is the
symbol of your power.

Only you must have the courage
to kill someone to defend it.

Excuse me.

I was only advising you.

-Ursus, I don't know
how I could have

ever done this
without your help.

-It's noting, Ceric.

WOMAN: Help!

Help!

Help me!

-The trap has
really worked well.

Good for you.

You played the part perfectly.

-I've only done what my
father ordered me to do.

-Let's go.

-Stop!

This is the sacred
land of the God Iat.

My father could not have given
you permission to defile it.

-Go on.

-Stop!

Stop!

Go back.

You cannot profane the god
of fire's sacred mountain.

Get away from here you old fool.

Orders from the king.

-No kind can-- ah!

Ah!

DIANA: No!

You killed him, you murderer.

-I see you're working with them.

You must feel proud,
noble princess.

-Hey!

Ursus will never be able to
fight off all five of these men

at the same time.

I've trained them especially
for this purpose, because I want

the satisfaction of
seeing him butchered.

Go on!

[INTERPOSING VOICES]

[SCREAMING]

-Ah, the landslide
has buried him.

The got Iat has saved me
the trouble of killing him.

Hey, you.

-The men are
complaining, my lord.

The eruption of the mountain
of fire is a bad omen for us.

-Nonsense.

This sign means
that Ursus is dead.

The god Iat is with us!

Ursus is dead.

Now we will destroy
the shepherds.

Come on!

-You you, Ceric, I saw many
of King Lotar's soldiers

near the lake this morning.

-Has Ursus returned yet?

-No.

Wasn't he with you?

-Yes, he was with me, but then--

-Ah!

[SCREAMING]

-Kira, Kira, where are you?

Ah!

-We can take these
men back with us.

They will serve as slaves
for our new grist mill.

[SCREAMING]

-We'll go now.

Finally, we have punished these
people for their arrogance.

And remember, we are the
one's who were attacked.

They be trouble for
anyone who forgets that.

Come on.

-He wasn't safe.

It's my fault he's dead.

-You only did what you had to
do, with King Lotar's orders.

You mustn't torment
yourself like this.

-That day on the lake, they
told me he wanted me to drown.

If that's true, why
did he come to my aid

today, when he thought
I was in danger?

-I don't know, princess.

But whatever happened to
him it's not your fault.

-When he understood
that I tricked him,

he screamed at me in contempt.

Oh, and I felt-- I felt I was
unworthy of the name I bear.

I was shamed and guilty.

I feel it.

-You mustn't feel this way
about the death of a slave.

-You're wrong.

Ursus was a free man.

A man who was
brave and generous.

I know that now.

And I killed him.

-You shouldn't be so
disturbed over the death

of a slave, princess.

-This, oh King Lotar, is a
day of infamy and sacrilege.

Right here in front
of you are the men

that have dared profane
with their weapons

the sacred mountain of the
omnipotent god Iat, benefactor

and protector of our people.

They have savagely struck
down and killed the priest who

attempted to prevent
this sacrilege.

In the name of my god
Iat, I warn all of you

that a tremendous
disaster will be upon us

if this affront is not punished.

-All right.

Your majesty, if I
deserve punishment,

I shall accept it gladly,
even if it means dead.

But you should take into
account the merits, as well as

the faults, of your
faithful subject.

I acted only in the defense
of you and your people.

And as for your god
Iat, if he saved my men,

and destroyed
their enemies, that

signifies his
approval of my action,

and not the rantings of
his fanatical priests.

-Enough.

With the victory
we have attained

against our
aggressors, we are now

able to occupy both
shores of the lake.

And we can now defend
the water against anyone.

Therefore, I feel it is my
duty to leave the fate of Lero

and my prime minister
to the judgment

of your sacred council.

-What?

You dare to hand us over
to these old vultures,

hungering for revenge and
blinded by the superstition.

-They have the
right to just you.

And I have faith in the
wisdom of their justice.

Take them to the temple.

-The got Iat has
spoken to our hearts,

and illuminated our minds.

But he has only one law.

Death for death.

You have profaned his territory
and killed one of his priests.

You must die.

However, considering your rank
and the motives that forced

your actions, we want to give
you proof of our clemency,

so we will reduce the sentence
of one of permanent exile.

You And Lero will leave-- ah!

-After them!

The high priest, where is he?

He's one you should have killed.

Find him.

-You want to kill me?

Then kill me.

Why are you hesitating?

Kill your high priest.

Go on.

-Let's go.

Hurry.

-You.

[SCREAMING]

-That's not enough, Hamilan.

You must eliminate
the final obstacle

that is between
you and the throne.

You must also kill his daughter.

Kill Diana, and the
throne will be yours.

Be ours.

-Don't talk anymore.

Rest a while.

tomorrow> everything will seem--

DIANA: What are you doing here?

Go away, or I will
call for my father.

-It's too late, princess.

Your father can no
longer defend you.

-No!

Run away, princess.

You must escape.

Oh no, please!

Oh, please!

HAMILAN: Get out of my way.

-No, no!

Ah!

-So you've let her escape, eh?

This way.

Hurry.

You must catch her.

-On your horses.

We must overtake her at once.

-Ursus, finally, you're here.

Did you see?

They were King
Lotar's men, commanded

by that jackal Hamilan.

The women and babies
were all killed.

And the men were taken
away to be used as slaves.

-And I thought that
Lotar was a just king.

The truth is, he sent his
daughter to lure me into a trap

and arranged this massacre.

Ceric, I swear that I will
avenge our poor people.

-My shoulder.

It burns.

Help me--

-Come on.

Water.

-I'll take care of you, Ceric.

[HORSE NEIGHING]

-I think it's useless to
continue searching for her.

She won't cause you
any more trouble.

-She has gone to
join her father.

Ha!

-Salute our new king!

-Long live the king!

Long live the king!

-Ursus, you're alive!

-Yes, I'm sorry to
disappoint you, princess.

What are you doing here?

What do you want this time?

-Ursus, you have good
reason to hate me.

But I was also
deceived, like you.

Hamilan has killed my father.

Now he is the king.

-That butcher?

Go back and tell your
people that I'm still alive.

They won't have to
suffer much longer.

Soon, I shall strike
with a vengeance,

and I'll spare no one when I do.

-I ran away from
the royal palace.

I cannot return.

Hamilan tried to kill me.

He followed me with his
soldiers to the lake.

-Not again.

I already saved you
once from drowning,

and you repaid me by
trying to trap me.

-Hamilan told me
you tried to prevent

him from rescuing
me in the lake.

And that you wanted to lead
the shepherds against us.

-And you believed his lies?

-I can't trust anyone anymore.

Hamilan wants to kill me.

And even you hate me.

-I don't hate you.

But how can I have
faith in you anymore?

After what you've done?

-What can I do to
make you believe me?

Ursus, I swear to you by the
gods that it was not my father.

But why do you refuse
to listen to me?

It was all a trap of Hamilan's.

Hamilan's and Mila.

My father was good and just,
but he was deceived like me,

like you.

And now I have no one.

-If this story is another one
of your traps, I don't know.

But, somehow I feel
I can believe you.

And I'll help you.

-Ursus, Ursus, you're
still my friend.

-We were good friends once.

Do you remember when
you were a child,

sometimes you used to say,
one day I'll be a queen.

-To be a queen is not important.

When I thought you
were dead-- oh, Ursus.

-You don't have to cry anymore.

From this moment on, I'll be
around to protect you forever.

-I have distributed the grain
as you have ordered me to do.

-What do they say?

-These people
detest you, Hamilan.

Many of them have
refused outright

to accept your generous offer.

-My subjects.

They're a race of mongrels.

And to think that I gave them
ownership of the entire lake.

All the water of the region.

My country will be the richest,
and everyone will know it.

And still they hate me.

When I pass by them,
instead of doing

hailing me, instead
of thanking me--

MILA: Don't be such a hypocrite.

You can't pretend to love
them, even though you say it.

They're still crying over Lotar.

And a few even suspect the
true cause of his death.

Don't be in such a hurry.

Let them release
their hostility.

Then we'll figure
how to charm them.

Meanwhile, you can
organize a tournament

to divert their minds and
prevent them from thinking.

-Lero, the most wonderful thing
that the gods can do for a man

is to give him a wise wife.

And mine is just that.

Ha, ha!

-With the tournament, you'll be
able to resume good relations

with the other tribes that
are near us, since all

their chieftains
will be invited here.

And I-- I will be your champion.

-You swim very well.

You almost beat me.

-Don't tease me.

You had to stop two times so
I could catch up with you.

Ceric has gone back
again to the city.

-I know.

He told me that
Hamilan has announced

that they are
having a tournament.

-Your old friend
isn't very cautious.

He mustn't go there.

-I wish you wouldn't
worry yourself

so much about my friend.

Ceric is as cunning as a fox,
and he knows what he's doing.

-And you?

Do you know what you're doing?

-What do you mean?

Really, I don't understand you.

-I know that you want to
participate in the games.

-Oh now.

-No.

Don't deny it.

Ceric has told me.

Don't do it.

It would be crazy.

A useless risk.

They'll surely kill you.

-Listen.

It's a great opportunity.

The winner of the tournament
has the right to ask one favor.

For anything he wants.

And if I win, I
know what I'll ask.

-Don't go.

I beg you.

-I must go.

Think a moment.

Diana, you know very well
that every move is watched

and observed by
Hamilan's soldiers.

It isn't possible to
organize a revolt.

There's an army ready to
put down any rebellion.

And that's why I cannot
lose this opportunity.

-It's only a dream, Ursus.

Besides, they think
you're dead, like me.

We can't count on
anyone for help.

And then, Hamilan would
be the first to kill you.

You'd be recognized.

-I've already thought of that.

They won't recognize me.

-Ursus-- but you can't
think only yourself now.

We belong to each other.

-Diana.

Oh, my wonderful Diana.

[CHEERING]

[CHEERING]

-We have reason to
cheer, my friends.

My champion, our
great champion, Lero,

has already defeated the best
adversaries, courageously

representing the
strength and valor of you

people, who are our friends.

[CHEERING]

-Some of the best contestants
have already fallen.

And, as for the others
who were not touched,

there is a better destiny,
for they come again to fight

these great champions
from other lands,

to test their skill again Lero.

Therefore, I wish good
luck to all of them.

[LAUGHTER]

-Mikoji, representative of
the powerful people of Atnam,

will fight with Lero, and
will fight with three weapons.

[CHEERING]

[CHEERING]

-I declare Lero mine, and
also your, grand champion.

Winner of all the
contests in the first part

of this tournament.

Therefore, it is his
right to choose a prize.

-One moment.

Hark me, oh great and noble
king of this powerful country.

I beg you to allow me the
honor of participating

in this tournament.

-Who are you, that you
dare appear before me

with such impudence?

How dare you interrupt
when I'm talking?

-I ask your humble pardon,
oh powerful sovereign.

But the anxiety to compete
with the best of your champions

has made me forget
my good manners.

-What's your name,
you braggart, and why

are you wearing such
strange clothes?

Which people you represent?

-I don't represent any people.

Or have a name.

-Nor even a place,
it would seem.

But you do have
too much impudence.

You want to participate
in the tournament,

to challenge the champion?

Fine.

But since you do not
represent any tribe,

nor indeed are you
known to us, you

must first prove yourself worthy
of appearing here before us.

And what is proof
is better adapted

to your great
arrogance, than that

of the test of the chariots.

You still have time to withdraw.

-No, no.

I'll accept.

[CHEERING]

-He's got a woman with him.

-I am told you brought a woman
who is standing in the crowd.

She shouldn't miss a spectacle
as important as this.

Bring her here.

I want her to be with you.

URSUS: You don't have
the right to do this.

-Don't try giving orders to me.

Tie the woman
between the chariots.

This trial doesn't concern her.

Only me.

HAMILAN: I establish
the rules here.

This should make your try-out
much more interesting.

You should be very
grateful to me.

I have given you more
reason to succeed.

And, as for her, she'll
rejoice with you, if you win.

And mourn with you
if you should fail.

[WHIPPING AND SHOUTING]

DIANA: Oh!

Oh, oh!

LERO: Come on, you fools.

Whip the horses.

Harder!

Whip them harder.

Woah!

Ho!

Ho!

[CHEERING]

-Follow that woman down there.

-Why I'm not dead after watching
that is a miracle of the gods.

-Why I'm not dead
is the miracle.

Take Diana back to the village.

I'll join you when the
tournament is finished.

Don't worry.

-All right.

-Arrest her.

HAMILAN: You, oh
stranger without a name,

have survived the test.

Therefore, you have the right
to fight in the tournament.

You still wish to do this?

-More than ever, your majesty.

-Don't worry.

Your rivals are
getting themselves

ready to welcome you.

-You can select
your own opponent.

It is your right.

-I thank you.

It is my desire
to fight the best.

You have told me that I can
choose my own adversary,

and naturally I want the
one I choose to be the best.

I choose you, Hamilan.

Who is better than you, killer
of kings, usurper of thrones,

torturer of the innocent.

I challenge you in
front of your people,

in front of your
soldiers, and your guests.

I choose you.

-Your Impudence has no limits.

In this country,
whoever dares challenge

my authority is executed.

And you both challenged
and insulted me.

I should have you
killed like a dog.

But I won't do that.

My people and my guests have
the right to be entertained.

And they shall be.

You want to participate
in the tournament?

Well, you shall participate,
and the conditions

are dictated by me.

-Do you accept the
challenge or not?

HAMILAN: You will fight
my champion, Lero.

And since you have arrogance
and strength of five men,

Lero will have at his
disposition , five weapons.

-And what five weapons?

-You'll see.

-Ha!

Ha, ha!

Ha!

-Those five men have killed
others far stronger than you.

[SCREAMING]

[SCREAMING]

[CHEERING]

LERO: Come on, Kill him!

No, don't kill me!

I beg, please.

You won.

You're the victor.

[CHEERING, BOOING]

[CHEERING]

-So, a total
stranger has suddenly

acquired a name and a country.

-Your name is Ursus.

And you and your people are
traitors to the crown I wear.

-We didn't kill our benefactors,
as you did, Hamilan.

You thought I was
there, but as you see,

sometimes the dead return.

-You have won the tournament,
and we all recognize it.

As me your prize, and go.

-I won the tournament.

I have the right to
express a desire.

I ask that the
murderer of King Lotar

suffer the penalty
provided for assassins.

I ask you this, in front
of people of Lotar.

-And I swear before
all the people

that you will the
justice that you ask.

-But answer me this.

Will the assassin be punished?

-I've already told you
once, you have your justice.

Ha, ha, ha!

Come on, slaves.

Here's a good chance to
demonstrate your strength.

Make that grist
mill move faster.

-You're a dirty
pig, and a coward.

Murderer.

HAMILAN: Not him, you fool.

It's his friends that
you should strike.

Lashing that old man will
have a magical effect.

You'll see that the mill
will move much faster.

-No.

No!

-You'll pay for this
one day, Hamilan.

-Maybe you're right.

But you'll never live
to see it, I assure you.

Ha, ha, ha!

[SOBBING]

-I'm happy to see
you again, cousin.

Just think, everyone here
believes you are dead.

I even wept for you.

Can you imagine?

Don't tell me you're
not glad to see me.

Have you lost your tongue?

Answer me.

Stand up on your
feet and answer me.

I am the queen.

Your queen!

-Do you believe
that an animal is

capable of governing
human beings?

No, you will never
be a true queen.

-This is the last time
you'll speak to me like this.

I'll break you to nothing
more than a slave.

You'll have to crawl at my feet.

I'll leave you to the
mercy of my soldiers.

And I'll amuse myself each
day, by seeing you tortured.

Even when we were children,
when we played together,

your every gesture,
every word, never

let me forget that you
were King Lotar's daughter.

Well, I am in command now.

Understand/ I'm in command.

On your knees.

-No!

-On your knees, I said.

You won't have another
chance to run away.

You see, even
Ursus is in prison.

Hamilan will make certain
he has a painful death.

-No, never.

It isn't true.

-Yes, it is.

I'm going to make certain
that you're whipped.

I myself will make you cry.

-It isn't true.

You lie!

Ow!

Ow!

Ah!

Ah!

Ah!

Ah!

Ow!

Ow!

-This is only the
beginning, princess.

-My lord, did you know that
the princess Diana is alive?

And that she is our prisoner?

-No one will be able to look at
you again without shuddering.

-No.

No.

No.

No!

No!

HAMILAN: Stop!

Mila, my sweet, you
never cease to amaze me.

Now you've gone ahead
without consulting me,

and arrested her
and sentenced her.

All this without my knowledge.

Good for you.

Would you also like
to be the executioner?

-Yes, I would.

She's alive, and
therefore dangerous.

I want to kill her, because then
our reign will be more secure.

-You are right, my dear.

As you always are.

But right now, why don't
we go away from here.

We have plenty of time to decide
what to do about the princess.

-It is my duty to care
for you, princess.

Come.

Come.

-You're cunning,
my beautiful Mila.

You're very clever.

If I wasn't that way,
we wouldn't be here.

And you know it.

-You're right.

I appreciate people
who are clever.

But I appreciate
them less when they

use their cleverness against me.

-What are you so upset about?

I didn't tell you I kept
Diana because I thought

it was a question
between her or me.

I think her capture can be
used also to your advantage.

-Well said, my dear.

Well said.

Also, to my advantage.

You see, Mila, we are the rulers
of a people that would give

everything they own to
see us dead, and buried.

The same people that
adored King Lotar,

and above all, his daughter.

Understand?

-No.

For the first time,
I don't understand.

What are you driving at?

-Do you know what it means
to govern those who hate you?

Do you really know?

It is like walking in a
country infested with vipers.

Always on guard, in
case they should strike.

You can't trust anyone,
not even the people

who are smiling at you.

From the bed where you sleep,
to the food that you eat.

Even the water you drink.

At times, you get
to the point where

you don't even have
faith in your own wife.

-What are you insinuating?

Doing

-What I'm trying to
say is, Mila dear,

you must realize that
a person of integrity

can find it very uncomfortable
to rule with all this hatred.

But, on the other hand, how
are you to obtain their loyalty

if it doesn't come
spontaneously?

Who is it, in fact, who
enjoys their admiration?

Who?

Naturally, the Princess
Diana, of course.

She is loved by the people.

The people would be overjoyed
if they knew she was alive,

and even more satisfied if they
knew she was alive and happy.

It's too bad, but poor Lotar
cannot return from the grave

to tell his people whether
his daughter is happy or not.

You understand now?

-I understand you now, Hamilan.

What you are trying to tell
me is that our princess Diana

should assume the throne, right?

Is this what you want?

And I, of course, go
back to serving her.

Or taking second place,
but I'd be her servant.

-You're an intelligent woman.

But you haven't really
grasped my idea.

That wasn't exactly
what I had in mind.

-Oh, come on.

Perhaps you would
like to marry Diana.

With her at your side,
you'd be assured of power.

And that is what
you really want.

Maybe you've forgotten
you already have a wife.

Me.

-Don't be so naive.

A wife can be replaced.

Naturally, it would only
be a mere formality.

And you would be well
compensated for your trouble.

-I see.

So, you want to get
rid of me, do you?

And this is your
way of doing it.

I'm not needed.

Now you want to have the sweet
Diana, heir to the throne,

to legalize your reign.

And you expect me to agree?

I will not permit
her to take a place

that by now has become mine.

I'll kill her.

-No, my dear.

You're not going to
be killing anyone.

I've already decided
that you will be killed.

-Murderer!

I'll kill you
first, you monster!

Ah!

-Stupid woman.

Wasn't it better to
let me divorce you?

[WHIPPING]

-Ceric, Ceric!

Can't you see, you cowards,
that he's almost dead?

If you dare strike him
again, I swear to you,

I'll kill you if it's
the last thing I do.

[LAUGHTER]

-Well, Ursus.

Very good.

I see you haven't let
misfortune break your spirit.

I'm mad.

Then, you'll enjoy
knowing that I'm

going to be married
to Princess Diana.

-Liar.

-Don't you believe me?

Don't you believe that your
princess is going to marry me?

Don't you know that the wedding
guests have already arrived?

Well, look then.

-Ursus.

Then Mila didn't tell me a lie.

Ursus.

-Diana.

-Do you believe me now?

You will witness our wedding.

And there won't be anything
you can do to prevent it.

-That's what you
think, you butcher.

[LAUGHTER]

-That's right, my friend.

Keep trying.

Our king built this cell
especially for strong men

like you.

Your agony will last as long
as your strength holds out.

And when you're no longer
able to support the weight,

you will be crushed
between those blades.

LERO: You want some advice?

When you realize you
can't continue any longer,

just go ahead and let it fall.

You will die instantly.

Without pain.

[LAUGHTER]

-Thank you, friend.

Return to your post, quickly.

-Diana.

I beg of you.

Listen to me.

You may not believe me, but
listen to me, I implore you.

I didn't know about your arrest.

Just as I didn't know that
your father had been killed,

I swear to you.

Each one of these
unpardonable actions

was arranged and
executed by Mila.

I was dominated by her.

By her artful planning.

I was powerless to fight her.

I was under her spell.

She had the ability to make
me perform any kind of deed.

Anything that was evil.

But now, that is over.

Now, for love of you, I
succeeded in freeing myself.

Yes, I killed her.

I did this for you, believe me.

Diana, I would like
to return the throne

that is rightfully yours.

And if-- and if one day, you
want to share that throne

with a companion, just please
remember that deep in my heart,

I have always loved you.

Did you love me when you
pursued me with your soldiers

to try to kill me?

-I told you, I was bewitched.

I was the victim
of Mila's sorcery.

You don't want to
believe me, do you?

Nevertheless, I'm
telling the truth.

What must I do to make
you believe in me?

-Do you want me
to liberate Ursus?

Is this what you want?

Very well.

I'll do it.

There is nothing I
wouldn't do for you.

-Get away from me.

Don't touch me.

I swear to you, I'll kill
myself if you try that again.

Get out.

Forgive me, but I was
forced to do that.

-Help!

Help!

Help me!

Help me!

Help!

Help!

Ursus.

No.

Ursus.

-Diana, get out.

Save yourself.

-Ursus.

No.

Let me go.

Let me go!

Let me go!

Leave me alone!

-You were absolutely right.

Yes, I killed your father.

But he was not a real king.

He was an old weakling
who did nothing but repeat

this priest's foolish
superstitions.

You, Diana--

-No.

No--

-You'll be my wife.

You'll be mine, whether
you want to or not.

Scream.

Yes, scream until
you have no voice.

No one will hear you.

No one will hear
you except my mine.

-No!

-Because I alone am the King.

I am the master of every one.

And I am your master.

-Help.

-Diana.

Guards!

Hey!

-Come on, don't worry.

Don't be afraid.

-There he is.

HAMILAN: Kill him.

By orders of your king.

-A [INAUDIBLE], a coward.

-Guards!

Hey.

Don't let him escape.

[HORSES NEIGHING]

-Block every exit of
the city, and stop

them from going to the lake.

Go on.

You, come with me.

-We'll stop here a moment.

And hope that they can't see us.

-You should try
and save yourself.

Go on.

Leave me here.

-Don't be foolish, Diana.

GUARDS: There he is!

-They're coming.

Look, come in quickly.

-Why, you're still alive.

-Yes, princess.

Come on, I'll see you later.

-Where are we going?

-Deep inside the
mountain of fire.

Sacred to the god Iat.

I have stayed hidden
here all this time.

Praying.

Waiting for the day when
I could get revenge.

Don't be afraid.

-Push!

Good.

Fallak, you stay here.

Come on.

-They're chasing
the Princess Diana.

-We cannot allow them
to commit another crime.

We must do something.

-Stay back.

Stay back, you swine.

-Get away from here.

Keep away, I said.

You, step back.

-You should stop this, Fallak.

You're the only one who
knows whether or not

our King Lotar died
a natural death.

Now, are you going to tell me?

Who better than you would be
able to tell us the truth?

Ah!

[ANGRY COMMOTION]

-I never knew of this.

-No one has ever seen
it, except for priests.

It's highly secret.

The fire of the
god Iat permanently

blazes from these walls of rock
around us, and over our heads.

-Is there another way out?

-No, there's only one.

And that remained unobstructed
during the last earthquake,

when the god Iat
became indignant

over the offense brought
to his sacred territory.

-Do you hear that?

GUARD: Come on, over here.

-They've discovered
the secret passage.

They're coming here.

-Try to hide
yourselves, quickly.

-What about you?

-You two hide up there.

It'll be easier for me
to fight them alone.

Go on.

-Come on, find them.

They must be in here.

[SCREAMING]

--[INAUDIBLE], get him
down from up there.

[SCREAMING]

[CROWD YELLING]

-This time you won't escape me.

-Don't shed any
more innocent blood.

-No!

-I offer this, my blood,
in honor of you, God Iat.

For you to avenge it.

[RUMBLING]

-Ursus, stop.

Or I'll kill her.

[RUMBLING]

[SCREAMING]

[CROWD SHOUTING]

-Cowards!

Come back here!

Cowards!

[INTERPOSING VOICES]

-No!

Ah!

-Diana.

-Ursus.

CROWD: Ursus.

-Someone's coming.

-Princess, all of your
people have rebelled.

We fought with the
soldier's of Hamilan.

And now we are free again.

-Let's go back.

[CHEERING]
