BeastMaster (1999–2002): Season 2, Episode 10 - Gone - full transcript
OH, HELLO, PRETTY ONE.
COME ON DOWN.
OK, I'LL COME TO YOU.
DON'T BE AFRAID.
I WON'T HURT YOU.
WHY WOULD ANYONE
HURT SOMETHING SO PRETTY?
ONWARDS, MEN.
NO...YOU DON'T NEED
TO DRAW THEM AWAY.
THERE.
KEEP AFTER HIM!
DON'T LET HIM GET AWAY!
[ YELLING ]
[ HOWLING ]
CAN YOU HEAR HIM?
BEASTMASTER?
WHEN I HAVE ENOUGH OF YOU,
AND THEN HE'LL COME.
HE'LL HAVE TO COME.
[ GROWLING ]
[ WHIMPERING ]
SHH...
KEEP QUIET.
[ BARKING ]
YOU'VE BEEN MEETING THE LOCALS.
YES...DID YOU SEE
THE LITTLE ONE?
IT WAS SO CUTE.
CUTE?
YES -- THEY
CAN'T HURT YOU,
AND THEY'RE TOO
LITTLE TO EAT.
WHY WOULD ANYONE
WANT TO KILL THEM?
FOR FUN, FOR SPORT, FOR AS MANY
REASONS AS HUMANS CAN CONTRIVE.
I DON'T UNDERSTAND THESE HUMANS.
ARE THEY SPECIAL?
THEY THINK THEY ARE.
NOT SINCE THEY STARTED
WALKING ON THEIR HIND LEGS.
THEY KNOW TOO MUCH NOW.
IT MAKES THEM NERVOUS.
ABOUT THE FACT THAT
THEY'RE ALL BORN TO DIE...
AND THERE'S NOT VERY MUCH
THEY CAN DO ABOUT THAT.
THIS ONE DOESN'T
LOOK NERVOUS.
THIS ONE ISN'T NERVOUS ENOUGH.
DON'T TELL ME YOU'VE
FOUND TAO'S ROCKS.
ARE YOU SURE
THESE ARE THE RIGHT ROCKS?
TAO'S VERY PARTICULAR
ABOUT THINGS LIKE THIS.
[ CAWING ]
IF YOU HUNT FOR FOOD,
HUNT SOMETHING ELSE.
THIS ANIMAL'S ALMOST EXTINCT.
I DON'T HUNT FOR FOOD.
THAT MONSTER KILLED
MY WIFE AND CHILDREN.
I HUNT FOR VENGEANCE.
STEP ASIDE...
OR YOU'LL DIE WITH HIM.
IN AN AGE WHEN NATURE
AND MAGIC RULE THE WORLD...
THERE IS
AN EXTRAORDINARY LEGEND:
THE STORY OF A WARRIOR
WHO COMMUNICATES WITH ANIMALS,
WHO FIGHTS SORCERY
AND THE UNNATURAL.
HIS NAME IS DAR,
LAST OF HIS TRIBE.
HE'S ALSO CALLED...
I WILL KILL YOU
IF YOU DON'T MOVE.
LOOK, I'M SORRY
ABOUT YOUR FAMILY.
IT'S CALLED A TASMANIAN TIGER,
IT WOULD NEVER ATTACK A HUMAN.
NEVER ATTACK? LOOK AT IT!
IT'S AN UGLY VICIOUS KILLER.
ITS LOOK IS NOT ITS NATURE.
HE SAYS HE DIDN'T ATTACK
YOUR FAMILY --
HE SAYS HE DIDN'T DO IT.
HE SAYS?
AHHH!
GO QUICK!
NO!
UNTIE ME.
UNTIE ME!
TELL ME YOUR NAME.
KALEB,
SON OF SHAN.
A NEANDO HUNTER -- YOU'RE A LONG
THE NEANDO HAVE GROWN
TOO FEW TO HAVE ANY LANDS.
SO WHAT GAME DO YOU HUNT?
HE'S TRACKING A TASMANIAN TIGER.
THYLACINE?
THEY'RE EXTINCT.
NOT QUITE.
WE SAW ONE TODAY.
DIDN'T WE -- HE SAYS
IT KILLED HIS FAMILY.
THE ANIMAL SAID
HE DIDN'T--
"THE ANIMAL SAID."
DON'T SCOFF.
HE'S THE BEASTMASTER.
HE COMMUNICATES WITH ANIMALS,
BIRDS, EVEN SOME HUMANS, TOO.
AND ANIMALS DON'T LIE.
IT'S NOT IN THEIR NATURE.
ONLY HUMANS HAVE THAT ABILITY,
OR DISABILITY, DEPENDING
ON YOUR POINT OF VIEW--
I ALSO KNOW ANIMALS.
THEY GIVE ME FOOD AND SHELTER,
AND I HONOUR THEM FOR THAT.
BUT I KNOW THEY WILL
DO ANYTHING TO SURVIVE.
KALEB, TELL ME WHAT HAPPENED.
I'D BEEN AWAY FROM HOME
FOR THREE DAYS.
THE HUNTING HAD BEEN GOOD.
BUT I COULDN'T WAIT TO BE BACK
WITH MY WIFE AND MY CHILDREN.
USUALLY, MY CHILDREN
WOULD CLIMB A TREE,
SO THEY COULD SEE ME COMING
AND RUN TO GREET ME.
BUT THIS TIME...
THIS TIME THERE WAS NO ONE.
AHH!
NO!
ALL OF THEM...
THROATS TORN OPEN...
BLED WHITE.
I SAW NO KNIFE -- JUST DEATH
AND THAT DEVIL DOG.
WHAT WOULD YOU DO
IN MY PLACE, BEASTMASTER?
HE COULD BE
TELLING THE TRUTH.
OR THE TRUTH AS HE KNOWS IT.
THE ANIMAL WASN'T LYING.
IT CAN'T.
KEEP HIM HERE TILL I GET BACK.
[ COUGHING ]
WHAT ARE YOU DOING
WITH ALL
THESE ROCKS?
I'M GLAD YOU ASKED --
NORD WEAPONS
ARE MADE FROM COPPER
AND CASSERITE ROCK.
I DON'T HAVE THOSE ROCKS,
BUT I'M WORKING ON A THEORY
THAT, IF YOU COMBINE
THE RIGHT ELEMENTS, YOU'LL
HAVE A WEAPON
AS STRONG AS THEIRS.
I DON'T NEED IT.
BUT YOU'VE SEEN
WHAT THEIR SWORDS CAN DO.
TAO...
KNOWING THE WAY OF THINGS,
AND MOVING WITH THEM,
IS WHAT KEEPS ME ALIVE.
YES... BUT THIS WILL HELP.
BY THE TIME YOU GET BACK,
I'LL HAVE A NEW WEAPON
WAITING FOR YOU.
JUST FOR THE MOMENT...
I'M ALSO WORKING
ON A THEORY THAT...
NOT ALL ELEMENTS
CAN BE COMBINED.
[ HOWLING ]
SHE'S BEAUTIFUL.
IF YOU WANT HER,
SHE'S YOURS.
THOUGHT YOU WERE
GOING TO KILL THEM.
THAT'S THE PLAN,
ISN'T IT?
THAT'S UP TO THE BEASTMASTER.
HE IGNORES
MY INVITATIONS TO MEET.
DENIES ME AT EVERY OPPORTUNITY.
NOW HE'LL DISCOVER HOW COSTLY
HIS LACK OF MANNERS CAN BE.
AND YOU'RE SURE HE'LL COME?
OH, HE CAN HEAR THEIR SUFFERING.
HE WON'T BE ABLE
TO BEAR IT FOR THAT LONG.
HE'LL TRY TO RESCUE THEM.
[ GROWLING AND SNARLING ]
LOOK AT HER EYES.
THERE'S NOTHING SHE WON'T DO
TO DEFEND HERSELF.
IMAGINE, AN ARMY
OF THESE CREATURES
ATTACKING OUR ENEMIES.
IT'S ENOUGH TO MAKE
THE BRAVEST BLOOD RUN COLD.
AND HOW
DO YOU KNOW
HE WON'T SEND
THEM AGAINST US?
HE CLAIMS THEY'RE NOT WARRIORS.
PROTECTS THEM LIKE A FATHER
PROTECTS HIS CHILDREN.
NO, HE WON'T TRADE
THEIR LIVES FOR HIS.
HE'LL COME...BUT THIS TIME,
HE'LL HAVE TO TALK TO ME.
HARDLY A MAN AND
HE'S CONQUERED A DOZEN LANDS,
WIPED OUT COUNTLESS TRIBES.
WHY?
OH...AMBITION, FOCUS.
IT'S SOMETHING I ADMIRE
IN A YOUNG PERSON.
PERHAPS THE BEASTMASTER
HAS FINALLY MET HIS MATCH.
WHAT DOES VODEN WANT
FROM THE BEASTMASTER?
HIS HELP TO CONTROL THE ANIMALS.
BUT THE BEASTMASTER WON'T
JUST GIVE HIM WHAT HE WANTS.
IT'S NOT HIS TO GIVE.
HE WAS GRANTED
THAT GIFT BY THE DEMON
OF COURSE, VODEN WOULD
NEVER BELIEVE THAT.
SO VODEN WILL KILL HIM.
YOU'RE WORRIED ABOUT
THE BEASTMASTER?
ACTUALLY, I WAS THINKING OF
THESE HUMANS SEEM TERRIFIED
OF THINGS THEY CAN'T CONTROL.
BUT THE BEASTMASTER
ISN'T TERRIFIED AT ALL.
YOU CAN SEE THAT
RIGHT AWAY, AND HE MAKES
OTHERS FEEL SAFE.
WITHOUT HIM AROUND, THEY'LL JUST
KILL EVERY ANIMAL
IN SIGHT, WON'T THEY?
QUITE POSSIBLY.
AND WHAT WILL THEY DO THEN?
REGRET THEIR
STUPIDITY,
ALL TOO LATE.
IT'S A COMMON
HUMAN TRAIT.
IS THE TASMANIAN TIGER
TRULY THE LAST OF THE SPECIES?
YES.
NOT USEFUL TO HUMANS,
OR CUTE, LIKE YOUR WOLF PUP.
BUT HE IS BEAUTIFUL.
THERE'S NOTHING ELSE LIKE HIM.
ANOTHER LESSON LEARNED.
AND HERE'S ONE MORE:
HUMANS ARE NOT LIKE YOU.
IF IT WASN'T YOU, THEN WHO?
WHO WOULD KILL
AN INNOCENT FAMILY?
STAY HERE.
MY FRIEND RUH
WILL TO PROTECT YOU.
CAN I MAKE A SUGGESTION?
DO I HAVE A CHOICE?
I'M SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS.
YOUR WORDS...MEAN NOTHING.
THEN MAYBE I CHOSE
THE WRONG ONES.
MY CITY AND MY PEOPLE
WERE OVERRUN BY A CULT
OF BLOODTHIRSTY PRIESTS.
SO WE TOO ARE
AN ENDANGERED SPECIES.
I UNDERSTAND KILLING WON'T
BRING THE DEAD BACK TO LIFE.
IT WILL HELP THEIR
SPIRITS FIND PEACE.
THEIRS OR YOURS?
MY FATHER LOVED TO CARVE.
HE HAD...GRACEFUL FINGERS
AND HE WAS VERY PATIENT.
I TAKE THIS WITH ME
TO REMIND ME OF HIM.
IT DOESN'T TAKE AWAY THE PAIN
OF NOT KNOWING HIS FATE,
BUT IT HELPS.
THE CARVING IS OF HIS MOTHER.
SHE USED TO LOVE FETCHING
WATER DOWN AT THE WELL.
THAT'S WHERE
SHE MET HER FRIENDS.
NOW, WHEN SHE DIED, HE REBUILT
THE WELL, SO THAT WHEN WE WENT
DOWN THERE,
WE COULD REMEMBER HER.
THAT WAS...THAT WAS GOOD.
YES, IT WAS.
WE ALL HAVE DIFFERENT WAYS
OF DEALING WITH GRIEF,
BUT THEY'RE ALL ABOUT FINDING
OUR OWN WAYS TO RECEIVE COMFORT.
MY WIFE HAD A GARDEN.
IT WAS FULL
OF BEAUTIFUL FLOWERS.
I DON'T KNOW HOW
TO PLANT A GARDEN.
I DO, AND I
COULD SHOW YOU.
I COULD UNBIND YOU.
WE COULD GATHER SEEDS.
BUT FIRST, YOU HAVE TO PROMISE
TO SPARE THE THYLACINE.
HMM...
THE FIRST THING
THAT WE HAVE TO DO--
YOU PLANT THAT GARDEN.
BUT I WILL WATER IT
WITH THE BLOOD OF THAT MONSTER.
IF YOU, OR ANYONE ELSE,
TRIES TO STOP ME...
I WILL KILL YOU.
STUPID, STUPID.
[ CAWING ]
[ GROWLING ]
LOOK OUT! TIGER!
THE BEASTMASTER'S PET.
NOW HE HAS NO CHOICE
BUT TO BOW TO MY WILL.
THE BEAST IS MINE!
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
THAT BEAST IS MINE.
NO -- THEY'RE ALL MINE...
AND SO ARE YOU.
WHERE'D YOU GO, KALEB?
WHERE WOULD I GO IF I WERE YOU?
CASSERITE ROCK.
THAT WAS EASY.
DAR...CASSERITE ROCK.
HOW'D THE HUNTER ESCAPE?
I THOUGHT I'D CONVINCED HIM THAT
KILLING THE THYLACINE
WAS A BAD IDEA.
YEAH, WHAT'S DONE IS DONE.
THE NORDS KILLED HIS FAMILY.
-SWORD POINT.
-YEAH.
WE MUST SHOW
THIS TO CALEB.
THEY'VE TAKEN HIM PRISONER,
ALONG WITH RUH
AND THE TASMANIAN TIGER.
SHARAK SHOWED ME.
THEY'RE IN CAGES.
AND NOW YOU WILL TRY TO RESCUE
THEM AND VODEN WILL CAPTURE YOU.
YOU KNOW
THEY'RE BAIT.
I KNOW.
I HAVE NO CHOICE.
DAR, YOU CAN'T GO TO XINCA.
VODEN'S WHOLE ARMY'S THERE.
THERE'S TOO MANY OF THEM.
WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO?
FIGHT NORD SOLDIERS
USING FERRETS
AND A STAFF MADE OF BONE?
THEY'LL CUT YOU TO SHREDS.
HE'S PERFECT.
IMAGINE BEING ABLE TO
COMMUNICATE WITH HIM.
I CAN'T WAIT TO LEARN
YOUR MASTER'S SECRETS.
HE DOESN'T REALIZE HOW POWERFUL
THEY COULD BE
IN THE RIGHT HANDS.
[ CLANGING ]
THERE'S SO MANY THINGS
I COULD DO
WITH YOUR COURAGE AND STRENGTH.
THE ENERGY YOU ONLY USE
TO HUNT AND ROAM
COULD BE FOCUSED
TO ENSLAVE THE WORLD.
NOW GO AND MAKE TAO PROUD.
MAKE THE BIGGEST MESS YOU CAN.
YOU'RE NEANDO.
I THOUGHT THE TERRONS
HAD WIPED OUT YOUR TRIBE.
I AM THE LAST.
VODEN SAYS YOU WANT TO KILL
THE TASMANIAN TIGER.
HE MAY ALSO BE THE LAST
OF HIS BLOOD.
THERE'S NOT MUCH MEAT
ON HIS BONES, WHY BOTHER?
THE BEAST KILLED MY
WIFE AND CHILDREN.
THEIR SPIRITS
CANNOT REST
UNTIL IT IS DEAD.
I'M SORRY.
MY I ASK YOUR NAME?
MY NAME IS KALEB.
THESE FORESTS ARE GUARDED
BY THE BEASTMASTER.
I'M SURPRISED HE DIDN'T
STOP YOUR HUNT.
HE TRIED. HE EVEN HELD ME
CAPTIVE AT HIS CAMP,
BUT I ESCAPED.
YOU KNOW WHERE HE IS.
TELL ME AND I CAN
GET YOU OUT OF HERE.
YOU HAVE NO IDEA MUCH BLOOD
WILL FLOW IF THE
BEASTMASTER DOES NOT COME.
UGLY, ISN'T HE?
HE SAYS THE TASMANIAN TIGER
WHY WASN'T HE THERE
TO PROTECT THEM HIMSELF?
[ GRUNTING ]
I'M SURPRISED WE DIDN'T
FIND HIM IN OUR NETS.
HE LOOKS PART BEAST HIMSELF.
PERHAPS HE CAN ENTERTAIN US
WITH THE OTHER ANIMALS,
WHILST WE AWAIT THE BEASTMASTER.
HE CLAIMS TO KNOW
WHERE THE
BEATMASTER IS.
HE COULD
TAKE US TO HIM.
NO, ARINA, I'M FINISHED
TRAMPING THESE FORESTS.
THIS TIME THE BEASTMASTER
WILL COME TO US.
THROW HIM INTO THE PIT
WITH THE BEAST HE HUNTS.
IT HAS TO EAT...
AND WE CAN WATCH.
[ BARKING ]
FIRE!
THIS IS HIS WORK.
HE'S NEAR.
YOU TWO, FOLLOW ME!
GET THE MEN!
WE NEED MORE WATER NOW!
YOU'LL NEVER SET THEM
FREE BY YOURSELF.
LET ME HELP YOU.
COME ON, HE'S GETTING AWAY!
THE PRISONER!
RUN!
WE CAN SLOW DOWN NOW.
I THINK THEY'RE
FAR BEHIND.
WHICH WAY NOW?
MY CAMP'S ACROSS THE RIVER.
I'M SORRY, BEASTMASTER.
I'VE SOMETHING TO FINISH FIRST.
DAR.
I KNOW IT SMELLS, BUT IT'LL TAKE
THE POUNDING OUT OF YOUR HEAD.
I WISH I HAD SOME HERBS
TO HEAL YOUR STAFF.
BUT I MIGHT HAVE
SOMETHING BETTER.
BUT THAT'S NOT MUCH BETTER
THAN MY BROKEN STAFF.
WELL, YOU HAVEN'T TRIED IT YET.
ROCKS, BUT I DON'T KNOW HOW
MUCH OF EACH ELEMENT TO COMBINE.
IT'S A LITTLE MORE
DIFFICULT THAN I THOUGHT.
TAO...
WAS PASSED TO ME
ACROSS GENERATIONS.
THE HISTORY OF MY PEOPLE
IS WRITTEN ON IT.
THAT'S JUST...
SOMETHING TO KILL WITH.
SO WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO NOW?
WELL, I'M CERTAIN
KALEB'S GONE
BACK FOR THE TASMANIAN TIGER.
AND I KNOW THAT
VODEN STILL HAS RUH, SO
AT FIRST LIGHT WE'LL GO BACK AND
GET THEM BEFORE THEY'RE KILLED.
DAR, YOU'RE UNARMED.
IF YOU GO BACK IN THERE,
-YOU'LL BE KILLED.
-IT DOESN'T MATTER.
SEE, CURUPIRA GAVE ME A DUTY.
AND IF I FAIL,
THE TASMANIAN TIGER--
THE TASMANIAN TIGER WON'T
BE THE ONLY ANIMAL
TO DISAPPEAR FROM THE FORESTS.
TELL ME, WHAT DO YOU SEE IN HIM?
I LIKE WHAT HE DOES.
AND WHAT DOES HE DO?
HE LOOKS AFTER THINGS.
HE KEEPS THINGS SAFE.
WE HAVEN'T TALKED ABOUT THE
BALANCE OF POWER YET, HAVE WE?
HAS SOMETHING GONE
OUT OF BALANCE?
NOT YET, BUT HERE...
I'VE GOT A GIFT FOR YOU.
WHAT IS IT?
AREN'T YOU GOING TO THANK ME?
WELL, YOU THROW IT AWAY...
AND IT COMES BACK TO YOU.
AH, LIKE A WOLF PUP
WITH A STICK?
OR, LIKE A PROBLEM
ONE TRIES TO AVOID.
-SHALL WE TRY IT?
-YEAH.
YOUR BEASTMASTER
IS ALREADY ON HIS PATH.
THERE'S ABSOLUTELY NOTHING
YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT.
YOU THINK WE
HAVE NO CHOICES.
OH, WE HAVE CHOICES; THEY DON'T.
AND THOSE HE PROTECTS
HAVE NO CHOICES EITHER?
THE ANIMALS?
YES.
WHY COMPLICATE THINGS?
THEY ARE COMPLICATED.
I HELPED HIS FRIEND FIND
SOMETHING TO RETURN THE BALANCE.
ONCE THE BEASTMASTER
HAS A REAL WEAPON,
HE CAN FIGHT OFF ANOTHER MORTAL
WHO WISHES TO TIP THE BALANCE.
THERE'S A SAYING, "SOW THE WIND,
REAP THE WHIRLWIND." IT MEANS--
YEAH, YEAH, YEAH.
WHAT YOU DO RETURNS
TO HAUNT YOU.
PRECISELY.
I WISH YOU'D WAIT UNTIL
I FIGURED SOMETHING OUT.
IT'S TOO DANGEROUS. WE CAN'T
WALK INTO THE CAMP UNARMED.
WE WON'T BE UNARMED.
LOOK, I UNDERSTAND I'M
NOT NEARLY AS USEFUL
AS A COUPLE OF FERRETS.
I DIDN'T SAY THAT.
YOU WON'T LET ME GIVE YOU
SOMETHING TO PROTECT YOU.
JUST LET ME GO AS FAR AS WHERE
I FOUND THE CASSERITE ROCK.
[ HOWLING ]
YES!
CALL FOR HIM!
TELL HIM THE KILLING HAS BEGUN!
PREPARE THE ARENA! IT'S TIME!
[ CHEERING ]
[ CHEERING ]
WHY DID YOU COME BACK...WHY?
I'VE TOLD YOU WHY.
I'D HEARD THAT
THE NEANDO HAD NO FEAR.
MAYBE THAT'S WHY THERE
ARE SO FEW OF YOU.
OH, WE KNOW FEAR.
THEN LEAVE WHILE YOU CAN.
YOUR VENGEANCE WILL
COST YOU YOUR LIFE.
IF THEY CATCH YOU,
YOU WILL DIE IN THAT PIT.
I AM DEAD ALREADY.
I'M THE LAST OF MY BLOOD LINE.
WHEN YOU HAVE LOST
EVERYTHING YOU HOLD DEAR,
THERE'S NOTHING
MORE TO BE AFRAID OF.
BUT IF I CAN KILL THAT DEVIL
DOG, I WILL DIE AT PEACE.
I KNEW VENGEANCE ONCE.
I SWORE A BLOOD OATH AGAINST
KING ZAD AND THE TERRONS.
I MADE ANY ENEMY
OF THEIRS MY FRIEND.
AND YOU TASTED JOY
IN HIS DEFEAT.
THAT JOY WAS SHORT-LIVED,
AND THE PRICE FOR IT WAS HIGH.
I AM NOW BOUND
TO A GREATER DARKNESS.
GO BEFORE YOU--
YOU SHOULD COMMEND YOUR TRACKER,
EVEN A HUNTER LIKE ME
COULDN'T ESCAPE HER SKILLS.
HE CAME BACK TO KILL
THE TASMANIAN TIGER.
I DECIDE WHO LIVES OR DIES.
BRING HIM.
COME ON.
THIS IS WHERE YOU STOP --
IF EVERYTHING GOES TO PLAN,
I'LL BE BACK AT THE
CAMPSITE BY NIGHTFALL.
IF THE ANIMALS COME BACK,
AND I'M NOT WITH THEM,
DON'T TRY AND SAVE ME.
I'LL HAVE TOLD
THEM NOT TO RETURN.
[ YELLING ]
TAKE THAT ROPE OFF HIM!
I DON'T WANT TO SEE ALL
THESE BEAUTIFUL CREATURES DIE.
THE LAST ONE LEFT ALIVE,
MAN OR BEAST, WILL GO FREE!
[ CHEERING ]
WITH THESE YOU'RE EQUAL
TO ITS TOOTH AND CLAW.
MAY THE BEST BEAST WIN!
ARGH!
YEAH!
KALEB, STOP!
GET OUT OF MY WAY.
ONE MORE BLOW AND THAT
THING IS FINISHED!
THE NORDS KILLED YOUR FAMILY.
WAIT.
LET'S SEE SOME BLOOD
BEFORE YOU SEIZE HIM.
HERE'S THE PROOF.
LIAR!
TAKE THE OTHER ANIMALS AND GO.
-THE ANIMALS ARE ESCAPING.
-FORGET THEM.
I HAVE WHAT I WANT.
BRING THE BEASTMASTER TO ME.
ARGH!
WHERE'S DAR? WHAT HAPPENED?
WE HAVE TO GO!
WE HAVE TO FIND HIM!
HE SAID NOT TO COME FOR HIM.
WHO ARE YOU?
A FRIEND.
I SAW YOU IN THE FOREST
WHEN I FOUND THE
CASSERITE ROCK.
OR TO BE MORE ACCURATE,
WHEN I FOUND IT FOR YOU.
THERE, DONE.
NOW, TAKE IT TO HIM BEFORE
ANY OF THE ANIMALS DIE.
IT'S AS GOOD AS NEW.
-BETTER.
-WHAT DID YOU DO TO IT?
I HELPED...NOW GO.
AND TELL HIM NOT TO FORGET
THE MOTHER WOLF.
HER PUP IS WAITING.
THIS ANIMAL IS PRECIOUS TO YOU.
IS IT ONE OF YOUR PETS?
I DON'T HAVE PETS.
HIS SPECIES HAS BEEN HUNTED
TO THE VERGE OF EXTINCTION.
THAT MAKES HIM PRECIOUS.
HOW DO YOU MAKE THEM OBEY?
I DON'T...WE'RE FRIENDS.
I SAW YOU TELL YOUR TIGER TO--
NO, I ASKED.
AND SOMETIMES HE DOES AS I ASK.
YOU SEE, ANIMALS
AREN'T MY SERVANTS.
THEY WEREN'T MEANT TO BE
SERVANTS TO ANYONE.
AND THIS ONE...HAS BEEN
HUNTED FOR NO OTHER REASON
THAN MAN HAS NO USE FOR HIM.
THEN GIVE THEM A PURPOSE.
COMMAND THEM
TO WIN US AN EMPIRE.
I JUST TOLD YOU...
I DON'T COMMAND THEM.
DON'T YOU SEE?
I HAVE THE WEAPONS, THE ARMY.
YOU COULD COMMAND
THE GREAT BEASTS,
THE HAWKS, THE SNAKES
WITH THEIR VENOM.
NOTHING COULD STOP US.
WE COULD CONTROL THE WORLD.
WHY WOULD I WANT TO?
WHY WOULD ANYONE?
BECAUSE THERE ARE ONLY
TWO TYPES OF PEOPLE:
VICTORS AND VICTIMS.
AND IF THE VICTIMS CAN'T
DEFEND THEMSELVES;
THEY DESERVE TO BE EXTINCT.
YOU KNOW, YOU AND I
ARE VERY DIFFERENT.
I SEE ALL LIFE AS A FAMILY,
WHERE EVERYONE DEPENDS
ON EVERYONE ELSE...
AND EVERYTHING IS CONNECTED.
I SEE IT AS THE BATTLE
FOR SURVIVAL THAT IT IS.
EAT OR BE EATEN.
ASK YOUR ANIMAL FRIENDS.
THEY'LL TELL YOU HOW THEY LIVE.
PLEASE,
I DON'T THINK SO.
I RESPECT MY FRIENDS.
IS THE TASMANIAN TIGER DEAD?
THE BEASTMASTER'S
TAKING CARE OF HIM.
YOU NEED TO BIND THAT CUT.
I THINK YOUR KING WOULD
RATHER I BLED TO DEATH.
HERE.
WHERE DID YOU GET THIS?
VODEN GAVE IT TO ME.
WHAT IS IT?
WHAT'S WRONG?
THIS BELONGED TO MY WIFE.
THE BEASTMASTER WAS RIGHT.
IT WASN'T THE ANIMAL.
IT WAS HIS SOLDIERS.
WHAT DO YOU WANT?
HE'S GOT SOMETHING ELSE TO SLAY.
COME ON.
[ YELLING ]
I HAVE GOOD NEWS, HUNTER.
YOU CAN KILL YOUR DEVIL DOG.
ALL YOU HAVE TO DO
IS KILL HIM FIRST.
HERE.
HE'S A MAN OF NATURE,
SO I'M LETTING HIM USE
HIS BARE HANDS.
MY OFFER STILL STANDS,
BEASTMASTER.
JUST SAY THE WORD.
YOU LIVE, HE LIVES,
THE BEAST LIVES...
YOU!
YOU KILLED MY FAMILY!
I WILL NOT FIGHT THIS MAN
FOR YOUR PLEASURE.
PERHAPS YOU'D RATHER FIGHT ME.
[ CHEERING ]
THEY WILL NEVER LET
YOU SLAY THEIR KING.
WHEN THIS STARTS, SAVE YOURSELF
AND THE TASMANIAN TIGER.
TELL IT I'M SORRY
FOR WHAT HAPPENED TO IT.
PERHAPS IT IS FITTING THAT
THE LAST OF ONE BLOOD DIES
TO SAVE THE LAST OF ANOTHER.
[ YELLING ]
THIS IS MY FIGHT.
YOU DON'T HATE HIM...I DO.
THAT MAKES IT MY FIGHT.
NOW I REMEMBER YOUR WIFE.
WE THOUGHT SHE WAS
JUST ANOTHER ANIMAL.
AND THOSE BRATS SCREAMING,
"WHERE'S DADDY?"
"WHY ISN'T HE HERE TO SAVE US?"
AHH!
MY OFFER STILL STANDS,
BEASTMASTER.
-ALL RIGHT.
-DAR!
I BROUGHT YOU SOMETHING.
OPEN THE CAGES, TAO.
KILL HIM.
GO!
THAT WAY.
THANK YOU.
KILL THEM, KILL THEM ALL.
KILL THE BEASTS!
BEASTMASTER, YOU'LL REGRET THIS.
NO ONE DEFIES ME, NO ONE.
SO WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS?
AFTER MY FATHER MADE THE STAFF,
HE HARDENED IT IN FIRE.
WHEN I CLAIMED IT,
I WAS STANDING IN HIS ASHES.
YOU SEE, THE SULAS BELIEVE
THAT FIRE RENEWS.
BY DOING THIS,
I HONOUR MY FATHER.
WOW...
AT LEAST SOME WORLDS
LIVE ON.
THIS IS AS FAR AS I GO
WITH YOU, BEASTMASTER.
I NEED TO RETURN TO MY HOME.
THOUGHT THERE WAS
NO HOME TO RETURN TO.
MY MEMORIES ARE THERE
AND THE GARDEN.
IT NEEDS PLANTING.
[ WHIMPERING ]
I THINK HE WANTS TO GO WITH YOU.
AFTER WHAT I'VE DONE TO HIM?
HE SEEKS NO VENGEANCE.
HE JUST WANTS TO BE YOUR FRIEND.
I THINK YOU TWO NEED EACH OTHER.
SO WHAT WILL HAPPEN NOW?
WELL, ONE DAY THERE
WILL ONLY BE ONE.
AND SOMETIME AFTER THAT...
NONE.
PEOPLE WILL UNDERSTAND
THE IMPORTANCE OF ALL LIFE,
ALL SPECIES OF ANIMAL,
ALL FORMS OF MAN.
IF THEY DON'T, THERE'LL BE
NO FUTURE FOR ANY OF US.
CAPTIONS PERFORMED BY
THE NATIONAL CAPTIONING CENTRE
COME ON DOWN.
OK, I'LL COME TO YOU.
DON'T BE AFRAID.
I WON'T HURT YOU.
WHY WOULD ANYONE
HURT SOMETHING SO PRETTY?
ONWARDS, MEN.
NO...YOU DON'T NEED
TO DRAW THEM AWAY.
THERE.
KEEP AFTER HIM!
DON'T LET HIM GET AWAY!
[ YELLING ]
[ HOWLING ]
CAN YOU HEAR HIM?
BEASTMASTER?
WHEN I HAVE ENOUGH OF YOU,
AND THEN HE'LL COME.
HE'LL HAVE TO COME.
[ GROWLING ]
[ WHIMPERING ]
SHH...
KEEP QUIET.
[ BARKING ]
YOU'VE BEEN MEETING THE LOCALS.
YES...DID YOU SEE
THE LITTLE ONE?
IT WAS SO CUTE.
CUTE?
YES -- THEY
CAN'T HURT YOU,
AND THEY'RE TOO
LITTLE TO EAT.
WHY WOULD ANYONE
WANT TO KILL THEM?
FOR FUN, FOR SPORT, FOR AS MANY
REASONS AS HUMANS CAN CONTRIVE.
I DON'T UNDERSTAND THESE HUMANS.
ARE THEY SPECIAL?
THEY THINK THEY ARE.
NOT SINCE THEY STARTED
WALKING ON THEIR HIND LEGS.
THEY KNOW TOO MUCH NOW.
IT MAKES THEM NERVOUS.
ABOUT THE FACT THAT
THEY'RE ALL BORN TO DIE...
AND THERE'S NOT VERY MUCH
THEY CAN DO ABOUT THAT.
THIS ONE DOESN'T
LOOK NERVOUS.
THIS ONE ISN'T NERVOUS ENOUGH.
DON'T TELL ME YOU'VE
FOUND TAO'S ROCKS.
ARE YOU SURE
THESE ARE THE RIGHT ROCKS?
TAO'S VERY PARTICULAR
ABOUT THINGS LIKE THIS.
[ CAWING ]
IF YOU HUNT FOR FOOD,
HUNT SOMETHING ELSE.
THIS ANIMAL'S ALMOST EXTINCT.
I DON'T HUNT FOR FOOD.
THAT MONSTER KILLED
MY WIFE AND CHILDREN.
I HUNT FOR VENGEANCE.
STEP ASIDE...
OR YOU'LL DIE WITH HIM.
IN AN AGE WHEN NATURE
AND MAGIC RULE THE WORLD...
THERE IS
AN EXTRAORDINARY LEGEND:
THE STORY OF A WARRIOR
WHO COMMUNICATES WITH ANIMALS,
WHO FIGHTS SORCERY
AND THE UNNATURAL.
HIS NAME IS DAR,
LAST OF HIS TRIBE.
HE'S ALSO CALLED...
I WILL KILL YOU
IF YOU DON'T MOVE.
LOOK, I'M SORRY
ABOUT YOUR FAMILY.
IT'S CALLED A TASMANIAN TIGER,
IT WOULD NEVER ATTACK A HUMAN.
NEVER ATTACK? LOOK AT IT!
IT'S AN UGLY VICIOUS KILLER.
ITS LOOK IS NOT ITS NATURE.
HE SAYS HE DIDN'T ATTACK
YOUR FAMILY --
HE SAYS HE DIDN'T DO IT.
HE SAYS?
AHHH!
GO QUICK!
NO!
UNTIE ME.
UNTIE ME!
TELL ME YOUR NAME.
KALEB,
SON OF SHAN.
A NEANDO HUNTER -- YOU'RE A LONG
THE NEANDO HAVE GROWN
TOO FEW TO HAVE ANY LANDS.
SO WHAT GAME DO YOU HUNT?
HE'S TRACKING A TASMANIAN TIGER.
THYLACINE?
THEY'RE EXTINCT.
NOT QUITE.
WE SAW ONE TODAY.
DIDN'T WE -- HE SAYS
IT KILLED HIS FAMILY.
THE ANIMAL SAID
HE DIDN'T--
"THE ANIMAL SAID."
DON'T SCOFF.
HE'S THE BEASTMASTER.
HE COMMUNICATES WITH ANIMALS,
BIRDS, EVEN SOME HUMANS, TOO.
AND ANIMALS DON'T LIE.
IT'S NOT IN THEIR NATURE.
ONLY HUMANS HAVE THAT ABILITY,
OR DISABILITY, DEPENDING
ON YOUR POINT OF VIEW--
I ALSO KNOW ANIMALS.
THEY GIVE ME FOOD AND SHELTER,
AND I HONOUR THEM FOR THAT.
BUT I KNOW THEY WILL
DO ANYTHING TO SURVIVE.
KALEB, TELL ME WHAT HAPPENED.
I'D BEEN AWAY FROM HOME
FOR THREE DAYS.
THE HUNTING HAD BEEN GOOD.
BUT I COULDN'T WAIT TO BE BACK
WITH MY WIFE AND MY CHILDREN.
USUALLY, MY CHILDREN
WOULD CLIMB A TREE,
SO THEY COULD SEE ME COMING
AND RUN TO GREET ME.
BUT THIS TIME...
THIS TIME THERE WAS NO ONE.
AHH!
NO!
ALL OF THEM...
THROATS TORN OPEN...
BLED WHITE.
I SAW NO KNIFE -- JUST DEATH
AND THAT DEVIL DOG.
WHAT WOULD YOU DO
IN MY PLACE, BEASTMASTER?
HE COULD BE
TELLING THE TRUTH.
OR THE TRUTH AS HE KNOWS IT.
THE ANIMAL WASN'T LYING.
IT CAN'T.
KEEP HIM HERE TILL I GET BACK.
[ COUGHING ]
WHAT ARE YOU DOING
WITH ALL
THESE ROCKS?
I'M GLAD YOU ASKED --
NORD WEAPONS
ARE MADE FROM COPPER
AND CASSERITE ROCK.
I DON'T HAVE THOSE ROCKS,
BUT I'M WORKING ON A THEORY
THAT, IF YOU COMBINE
THE RIGHT ELEMENTS, YOU'LL
HAVE A WEAPON
AS STRONG AS THEIRS.
I DON'T NEED IT.
BUT YOU'VE SEEN
WHAT THEIR SWORDS CAN DO.
TAO...
KNOWING THE WAY OF THINGS,
AND MOVING WITH THEM,
IS WHAT KEEPS ME ALIVE.
YES... BUT THIS WILL HELP.
BY THE TIME YOU GET BACK,
I'LL HAVE A NEW WEAPON
WAITING FOR YOU.
JUST FOR THE MOMENT...
I'M ALSO WORKING
ON A THEORY THAT...
NOT ALL ELEMENTS
CAN BE COMBINED.
[ HOWLING ]
SHE'S BEAUTIFUL.
IF YOU WANT HER,
SHE'S YOURS.
THOUGHT YOU WERE
GOING TO KILL THEM.
THAT'S THE PLAN,
ISN'T IT?
THAT'S UP TO THE BEASTMASTER.
HE IGNORES
MY INVITATIONS TO MEET.
DENIES ME AT EVERY OPPORTUNITY.
NOW HE'LL DISCOVER HOW COSTLY
HIS LACK OF MANNERS CAN BE.
AND YOU'RE SURE HE'LL COME?
OH, HE CAN HEAR THEIR SUFFERING.
HE WON'T BE ABLE
TO BEAR IT FOR THAT LONG.
HE'LL TRY TO RESCUE THEM.
[ GROWLING AND SNARLING ]
LOOK AT HER EYES.
THERE'S NOTHING SHE WON'T DO
TO DEFEND HERSELF.
IMAGINE, AN ARMY
OF THESE CREATURES
ATTACKING OUR ENEMIES.
IT'S ENOUGH TO MAKE
THE BRAVEST BLOOD RUN COLD.
AND HOW
DO YOU KNOW
HE WON'T SEND
THEM AGAINST US?
HE CLAIMS THEY'RE NOT WARRIORS.
PROTECTS THEM LIKE A FATHER
PROTECTS HIS CHILDREN.
NO, HE WON'T TRADE
THEIR LIVES FOR HIS.
HE'LL COME...BUT THIS TIME,
HE'LL HAVE TO TALK TO ME.
HARDLY A MAN AND
HE'S CONQUERED A DOZEN LANDS,
WIPED OUT COUNTLESS TRIBES.
WHY?
OH...AMBITION, FOCUS.
IT'S SOMETHING I ADMIRE
IN A YOUNG PERSON.
PERHAPS THE BEASTMASTER
HAS FINALLY MET HIS MATCH.
WHAT DOES VODEN WANT
FROM THE BEASTMASTER?
HIS HELP TO CONTROL THE ANIMALS.
BUT THE BEASTMASTER WON'T
JUST GIVE HIM WHAT HE WANTS.
IT'S NOT HIS TO GIVE.
HE WAS GRANTED
THAT GIFT BY THE DEMON
OF COURSE, VODEN WOULD
NEVER BELIEVE THAT.
SO VODEN WILL KILL HIM.
YOU'RE WORRIED ABOUT
THE BEASTMASTER?
ACTUALLY, I WAS THINKING OF
THESE HUMANS SEEM TERRIFIED
OF THINGS THEY CAN'T CONTROL.
BUT THE BEASTMASTER
ISN'T TERRIFIED AT ALL.
YOU CAN SEE THAT
RIGHT AWAY, AND HE MAKES
OTHERS FEEL SAFE.
WITHOUT HIM AROUND, THEY'LL JUST
KILL EVERY ANIMAL
IN SIGHT, WON'T THEY?
QUITE POSSIBLY.
AND WHAT WILL THEY DO THEN?
REGRET THEIR
STUPIDITY,
ALL TOO LATE.
IT'S A COMMON
HUMAN TRAIT.
IS THE TASMANIAN TIGER
TRULY THE LAST OF THE SPECIES?
YES.
NOT USEFUL TO HUMANS,
OR CUTE, LIKE YOUR WOLF PUP.
BUT HE IS BEAUTIFUL.
THERE'S NOTHING ELSE LIKE HIM.
ANOTHER LESSON LEARNED.
AND HERE'S ONE MORE:
HUMANS ARE NOT LIKE YOU.
IF IT WASN'T YOU, THEN WHO?
WHO WOULD KILL
AN INNOCENT FAMILY?
STAY HERE.
MY FRIEND RUH
WILL TO PROTECT YOU.
CAN I MAKE A SUGGESTION?
DO I HAVE A CHOICE?
I'M SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS.
YOUR WORDS...MEAN NOTHING.
THEN MAYBE I CHOSE
THE WRONG ONES.
MY CITY AND MY PEOPLE
WERE OVERRUN BY A CULT
OF BLOODTHIRSTY PRIESTS.
SO WE TOO ARE
AN ENDANGERED SPECIES.
I UNDERSTAND KILLING WON'T
BRING THE DEAD BACK TO LIFE.
IT WILL HELP THEIR
SPIRITS FIND PEACE.
THEIRS OR YOURS?
MY FATHER LOVED TO CARVE.
HE HAD...GRACEFUL FINGERS
AND HE WAS VERY PATIENT.
I TAKE THIS WITH ME
TO REMIND ME OF HIM.
IT DOESN'T TAKE AWAY THE PAIN
OF NOT KNOWING HIS FATE,
BUT IT HELPS.
THE CARVING IS OF HIS MOTHER.
SHE USED TO LOVE FETCHING
WATER DOWN AT THE WELL.
THAT'S WHERE
SHE MET HER FRIENDS.
NOW, WHEN SHE DIED, HE REBUILT
THE WELL, SO THAT WHEN WE WENT
DOWN THERE,
WE COULD REMEMBER HER.
THAT WAS...THAT WAS GOOD.
YES, IT WAS.
WE ALL HAVE DIFFERENT WAYS
OF DEALING WITH GRIEF,
BUT THEY'RE ALL ABOUT FINDING
OUR OWN WAYS TO RECEIVE COMFORT.
MY WIFE HAD A GARDEN.
IT WAS FULL
OF BEAUTIFUL FLOWERS.
I DON'T KNOW HOW
TO PLANT A GARDEN.
I DO, AND I
COULD SHOW YOU.
I COULD UNBIND YOU.
WE COULD GATHER SEEDS.
BUT FIRST, YOU HAVE TO PROMISE
TO SPARE THE THYLACINE.
HMM...
THE FIRST THING
THAT WE HAVE TO DO--
YOU PLANT THAT GARDEN.
BUT I WILL WATER IT
WITH THE BLOOD OF THAT MONSTER.
IF YOU, OR ANYONE ELSE,
TRIES TO STOP ME...
I WILL KILL YOU.
STUPID, STUPID.
[ CAWING ]
[ GROWLING ]
LOOK OUT! TIGER!
THE BEASTMASTER'S PET.
NOW HE HAS NO CHOICE
BUT TO BOW TO MY WILL.
THE BEAST IS MINE!
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
THAT BEAST IS MINE.
NO -- THEY'RE ALL MINE...
AND SO ARE YOU.
WHERE'D YOU GO, KALEB?
WHERE WOULD I GO IF I WERE YOU?
CASSERITE ROCK.
THAT WAS EASY.
DAR...CASSERITE ROCK.
HOW'D THE HUNTER ESCAPE?
I THOUGHT I'D CONVINCED HIM THAT
KILLING THE THYLACINE
WAS A BAD IDEA.
YEAH, WHAT'S DONE IS DONE.
THE NORDS KILLED HIS FAMILY.
-SWORD POINT.
-YEAH.
WE MUST SHOW
THIS TO CALEB.
THEY'VE TAKEN HIM PRISONER,
ALONG WITH RUH
AND THE TASMANIAN TIGER.
SHARAK SHOWED ME.
THEY'RE IN CAGES.
AND NOW YOU WILL TRY TO RESCUE
THEM AND VODEN WILL CAPTURE YOU.
YOU KNOW
THEY'RE BAIT.
I KNOW.
I HAVE NO CHOICE.
DAR, YOU CAN'T GO TO XINCA.
VODEN'S WHOLE ARMY'S THERE.
THERE'S TOO MANY OF THEM.
WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO?
FIGHT NORD SOLDIERS
USING FERRETS
AND A STAFF MADE OF BONE?
THEY'LL CUT YOU TO SHREDS.
HE'S PERFECT.
IMAGINE BEING ABLE TO
COMMUNICATE WITH HIM.
I CAN'T WAIT TO LEARN
YOUR MASTER'S SECRETS.
HE DOESN'T REALIZE HOW POWERFUL
THEY COULD BE
IN THE RIGHT HANDS.
[ CLANGING ]
THERE'S SO MANY THINGS
I COULD DO
WITH YOUR COURAGE AND STRENGTH.
THE ENERGY YOU ONLY USE
TO HUNT AND ROAM
COULD BE FOCUSED
TO ENSLAVE THE WORLD.
NOW GO AND MAKE TAO PROUD.
MAKE THE BIGGEST MESS YOU CAN.
YOU'RE NEANDO.
I THOUGHT THE TERRONS
HAD WIPED OUT YOUR TRIBE.
I AM THE LAST.
VODEN SAYS YOU WANT TO KILL
THE TASMANIAN TIGER.
HE MAY ALSO BE THE LAST
OF HIS BLOOD.
THERE'S NOT MUCH MEAT
ON HIS BONES, WHY BOTHER?
THE BEAST KILLED MY
WIFE AND CHILDREN.
THEIR SPIRITS
CANNOT REST
UNTIL IT IS DEAD.
I'M SORRY.
MY I ASK YOUR NAME?
MY NAME IS KALEB.
THESE FORESTS ARE GUARDED
BY THE BEASTMASTER.
I'M SURPRISED HE DIDN'T
STOP YOUR HUNT.
HE TRIED. HE EVEN HELD ME
CAPTIVE AT HIS CAMP,
BUT I ESCAPED.
YOU KNOW WHERE HE IS.
TELL ME AND I CAN
GET YOU OUT OF HERE.
YOU HAVE NO IDEA MUCH BLOOD
WILL FLOW IF THE
BEASTMASTER DOES NOT COME.
UGLY, ISN'T HE?
HE SAYS THE TASMANIAN TIGER
WHY WASN'T HE THERE
TO PROTECT THEM HIMSELF?
[ GRUNTING ]
I'M SURPRISED WE DIDN'T
FIND HIM IN OUR NETS.
HE LOOKS PART BEAST HIMSELF.
PERHAPS HE CAN ENTERTAIN US
WITH THE OTHER ANIMALS,
WHILST WE AWAIT THE BEASTMASTER.
HE CLAIMS TO KNOW
WHERE THE
BEATMASTER IS.
HE COULD
TAKE US TO HIM.
NO, ARINA, I'M FINISHED
TRAMPING THESE FORESTS.
THIS TIME THE BEASTMASTER
WILL COME TO US.
THROW HIM INTO THE PIT
WITH THE BEAST HE HUNTS.
IT HAS TO EAT...
AND WE CAN WATCH.
[ BARKING ]
FIRE!
THIS IS HIS WORK.
HE'S NEAR.
YOU TWO, FOLLOW ME!
GET THE MEN!
WE NEED MORE WATER NOW!
YOU'LL NEVER SET THEM
FREE BY YOURSELF.
LET ME HELP YOU.
COME ON, HE'S GETTING AWAY!
THE PRISONER!
RUN!
WE CAN SLOW DOWN NOW.
I THINK THEY'RE
FAR BEHIND.
WHICH WAY NOW?
MY CAMP'S ACROSS THE RIVER.
I'M SORRY, BEASTMASTER.
I'VE SOMETHING TO FINISH FIRST.
DAR.
I KNOW IT SMELLS, BUT IT'LL TAKE
THE POUNDING OUT OF YOUR HEAD.
I WISH I HAD SOME HERBS
TO HEAL YOUR STAFF.
BUT I MIGHT HAVE
SOMETHING BETTER.
BUT THAT'S NOT MUCH BETTER
THAN MY BROKEN STAFF.
WELL, YOU HAVEN'T TRIED IT YET.
ROCKS, BUT I DON'T KNOW HOW
MUCH OF EACH ELEMENT TO COMBINE.
IT'S A LITTLE MORE
DIFFICULT THAN I THOUGHT.
TAO...
WAS PASSED TO ME
ACROSS GENERATIONS.
THE HISTORY OF MY PEOPLE
IS WRITTEN ON IT.
THAT'S JUST...
SOMETHING TO KILL WITH.
SO WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO NOW?
WELL, I'M CERTAIN
KALEB'S GONE
BACK FOR THE TASMANIAN TIGER.
AND I KNOW THAT
VODEN STILL HAS RUH, SO
AT FIRST LIGHT WE'LL GO BACK AND
GET THEM BEFORE THEY'RE KILLED.
DAR, YOU'RE UNARMED.
IF YOU GO BACK IN THERE,
-YOU'LL BE KILLED.
-IT DOESN'T MATTER.
SEE, CURUPIRA GAVE ME A DUTY.
AND IF I FAIL,
THE TASMANIAN TIGER--
THE TASMANIAN TIGER WON'T
BE THE ONLY ANIMAL
TO DISAPPEAR FROM THE FORESTS.
TELL ME, WHAT DO YOU SEE IN HIM?
I LIKE WHAT HE DOES.
AND WHAT DOES HE DO?
HE LOOKS AFTER THINGS.
HE KEEPS THINGS SAFE.
WE HAVEN'T TALKED ABOUT THE
BALANCE OF POWER YET, HAVE WE?
HAS SOMETHING GONE
OUT OF BALANCE?
NOT YET, BUT HERE...
I'VE GOT A GIFT FOR YOU.
WHAT IS IT?
AREN'T YOU GOING TO THANK ME?
WELL, YOU THROW IT AWAY...
AND IT COMES BACK TO YOU.
AH, LIKE A WOLF PUP
WITH A STICK?
OR, LIKE A PROBLEM
ONE TRIES TO AVOID.
-SHALL WE TRY IT?
-YEAH.
YOUR BEASTMASTER
IS ALREADY ON HIS PATH.
THERE'S ABSOLUTELY NOTHING
YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT.
YOU THINK WE
HAVE NO CHOICES.
OH, WE HAVE CHOICES; THEY DON'T.
AND THOSE HE PROTECTS
HAVE NO CHOICES EITHER?
THE ANIMALS?
YES.
WHY COMPLICATE THINGS?
THEY ARE COMPLICATED.
I HELPED HIS FRIEND FIND
SOMETHING TO RETURN THE BALANCE.
ONCE THE BEASTMASTER
HAS A REAL WEAPON,
HE CAN FIGHT OFF ANOTHER MORTAL
WHO WISHES TO TIP THE BALANCE.
THERE'S A SAYING, "SOW THE WIND,
REAP THE WHIRLWIND." IT MEANS--
YEAH, YEAH, YEAH.
WHAT YOU DO RETURNS
TO HAUNT YOU.
PRECISELY.
I WISH YOU'D WAIT UNTIL
I FIGURED SOMETHING OUT.
IT'S TOO DANGEROUS. WE CAN'T
WALK INTO THE CAMP UNARMED.
WE WON'T BE UNARMED.
LOOK, I UNDERSTAND I'M
NOT NEARLY AS USEFUL
AS A COUPLE OF FERRETS.
I DIDN'T SAY THAT.
YOU WON'T LET ME GIVE YOU
SOMETHING TO PROTECT YOU.
JUST LET ME GO AS FAR AS WHERE
I FOUND THE CASSERITE ROCK.
[ HOWLING ]
YES!
CALL FOR HIM!
TELL HIM THE KILLING HAS BEGUN!
PREPARE THE ARENA! IT'S TIME!
[ CHEERING ]
[ CHEERING ]
WHY DID YOU COME BACK...WHY?
I'VE TOLD YOU WHY.
I'D HEARD THAT
THE NEANDO HAD NO FEAR.
MAYBE THAT'S WHY THERE
ARE SO FEW OF YOU.
OH, WE KNOW FEAR.
THEN LEAVE WHILE YOU CAN.
YOUR VENGEANCE WILL
COST YOU YOUR LIFE.
IF THEY CATCH YOU,
YOU WILL DIE IN THAT PIT.
I AM DEAD ALREADY.
I'M THE LAST OF MY BLOOD LINE.
WHEN YOU HAVE LOST
EVERYTHING YOU HOLD DEAR,
THERE'S NOTHING
MORE TO BE AFRAID OF.
BUT IF I CAN KILL THAT DEVIL
DOG, I WILL DIE AT PEACE.
I KNEW VENGEANCE ONCE.
I SWORE A BLOOD OATH AGAINST
KING ZAD AND THE TERRONS.
I MADE ANY ENEMY
OF THEIRS MY FRIEND.
AND YOU TASTED JOY
IN HIS DEFEAT.
THAT JOY WAS SHORT-LIVED,
AND THE PRICE FOR IT WAS HIGH.
I AM NOW BOUND
TO A GREATER DARKNESS.
GO BEFORE YOU--
YOU SHOULD COMMEND YOUR TRACKER,
EVEN A HUNTER LIKE ME
COULDN'T ESCAPE HER SKILLS.
HE CAME BACK TO KILL
THE TASMANIAN TIGER.
I DECIDE WHO LIVES OR DIES.
BRING HIM.
COME ON.
THIS IS WHERE YOU STOP --
IF EVERYTHING GOES TO PLAN,
I'LL BE BACK AT THE
CAMPSITE BY NIGHTFALL.
IF THE ANIMALS COME BACK,
AND I'M NOT WITH THEM,
DON'T TRY AND SAVE ME.
I'LL HAVE TOLD
THEM NOT TO RETURN.
[ YELLING ]
TAKE THAT ROPE OFF HIM!
I DON'T WANT TO SEE ALL
THESE BEAUTIFUL CREATURES DIE.
THE LAST ONE LEFT ALIVE,
MAN OR BEAST, WILL GO FREE!
[ CHEERING ]
WITH THESE YOU'RE EQUAL
TO ITS TOOTH AND CLAW.
MAY THE BEST BEAST WIN!
ARGH!
YEAH!
KALEB, STOP!
GET OUT OF MY WAY.
ONE MORE BLOW AND THAT
THING IS FINISHED!
THE NORDS KILLED YOUR FAMILY.
WAIT.
LET'S SEE SOME BLOOD
BEFORE YOU SEIZE HIM.
HERE'S THE PROOF.
LIAR!
TAKE THE OTHER ANIMALS AND GO.
-THE ANIMALS ARE ESCAPING.
-FORGET THEM.
I HAVE WHAT I WANT.
BRING THE BEASTMASTER TO ME.
ARGH!
WHERE'S DAR? WHAT HAPPENED?
WE HAVE TO GO!
WE HAVE TO FIND HIM!
HE SAID NOT TO COME FOR HIM.
WHO ARE YOU?
A FRIEND.
I SAW YOU IN THE FOREST
WHEN I FOUND THE
CASSERITE ROCK.
OR TO BE MORE ACCURATE,
WHEN I FOUND IT FOR YOU.
THERE, DONE.
NOW, TAKE IT TO HIM BEFORE
ANY OF THE ANIMALS DIE.
IT'S AS GOOD AS NEW.
-BETTER.
-WHAT DID YOU DO TO IT?
I HELPED...NOW GO.
AND TELL HIM NOT TO FORGET
THE MOTHER WOLF.
HER PUP IS WAITING.
THIS ANIMAL IS PRECIOUS TO YOU.
IS IT ONE OF YOUR PETS?
I DON'T HAVE PETS.
HIS SPECIES HAS BEEN HUNTED
TO THE VERGE OF EXTINCTION.
THAT MAKES HIM PRECIOUS.
HOW DO YOU MAKE THEM OBEY?
I DON'T...WE'RE FRIENDS.
I SAW YOU TELL YOUR TIGER TO--
NO, I ASKED.
AND SOMETIMES HE DOES AS I ASK.
YOU SEE, ANIMALS
AREN'T MY SERVANTS.
THEY WEREN'T MEANT TO BE
SERVANTS TO ANYONE.
AND THIS ONE...HAS BEEN
HUNTED FOR NO OTHER REASON
THAN MAN HAS NO USE FOR HIM.
THEN GIVE THEM A PURPOSE.
COMMAND THEM
TO WIN US AN EMPIRE.
I JUST TOLD YOU...
I DON'T COMMAND THEM.
DON'T YOU SEE?
I HAVE THE WEAPONS, THE ARMY.
YOU COULD COMMAND
THE GREAT BEASTS,
THE HAWKS, THE SNAKES
WITH THEIR VENOM.
NOTHING COULD STOP US.
WE COULD CONTROL THE WORLD.
WHY WOULD I WANT TO?
WHY WOULD ANYONE?
BECAUSE THERE ARE ONLY
TWO TYPES OF PEOPLE:
VICTORS AND VICTIMS.
AND IF THE VICTIMS CAN'T
DEFEND THEMSELVES;
THEY DESERVE TO BE EXTINCT.
YOU KNOW, YOU AND I
ARE VERY DIFFERENT.
I SEE ALL LIFE AS A FAMILY,
WHERE EVERYONE DEPENDS
ON EVERYONE ELSE...
AND EVERYTHING IS CONNECTED.
I SEE IT AS THE BATTLE
FOR SURVIVAL THAT IT IS.
EAT OR BE EATEN.
ASK YOUR ANIMAL FRIENDS.
THEY'LL TELL YOU HOW THEY LIVE.
PLEASE,
I DON'T THINK SO.
I RESPECT MY FRIENDS.
IS THE TASMANIAN TIGER DEAD?
THE BEASTMASTER'S
TAKING CARE OF HIM.
YOU NEED TO BIND THAT CUT.
I THINK YOUR KING WOULD
RATHER I BLED TO DEATH.
HERE.
WHERE DID YOU GET THIS?
VODEN GAVE IT TO ME.
WHAT IS IT?
WHAT'S WRONG?
THIS BELONGED TO MY WIFE.
THE BEASTMASTER WAS RIGHT.
IT WASN'T THE ANIMAL.
IT WAS HIS SOLDIERS.
WHAT DO YOU WANT?
HE'S GOT SOMETHING ELSE TO SLAY.
COME ON.
[ YELLING ]
I HAVE GOOD NEWS, HUNTER.
YOU CAN KILL YOUR DEVIL DOG.
ALL YOU HAVE TO DO
IS KILL HIM FIRST.
HERE.
HE'S A MAN OF NATURE,
SO I'M LETTING HIM USE
HIS BARE HANDS.
MY OFFER STILL STANDS,
BEASTMASTER.
JUST SAY THE WORD.
YOU LIVE, HE LIVES,
THE BEAST LIVES...
YOU!
YOU KILLED MY FAMILY!
I WILL NOT FIGHT THIS MAN
FOR YOUR PLEASURE.
PERHAPS YOU'D RATHER FIGHT ME.
[ CHEERING ]
THEY WILL NEVER LET
YOU SLAY THEIR KING.
WHEN THIS STARTS, SAVE YOURSELF
AND THE TASMANIAN TIGER.
TELL IT I'M SORRY
FOR WHAT HAPPENED TO IT.
PERHAPS IT IS FITTING THAT
THE LAST OF ONE BLOOD DIES
TO SAVE THE LAST OF ANOTHER.
[ YELLING ]
THIS IS MY FIGHT.
YOU DON'T HATE HIM...I DO.
THAT MAKES IT MY FIGHT.
NOW I REMEMBER YOUR WIFE.
WE THOUGHT SHE WAS
JUST ANOTHER ANIMAL.
AND THOSE BRATS SCREAMING,
"WHERE'S DADDY?"
"WHY ISN'T HE HERE TO SAVE US?"
AHH!
MY OFFER STILL STANDS,
BEASTMASTER.
-ALL RIGHT.
-DAR!
I BROUGHT YOU SOMETHING.
OPEN THE CAGES, TAO.
KILL HIM.
GO!
THAT WAY.
THANK YOU.
KILL THEM, KILL THEM ALL.
KILL THE BEASTS!
BEASTMASTER, YOU'LL REGRET THIS.
NO ONE DEFIES ME, NO ONE.
SO WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS?
AFTER MY FATHER MADE THE STAFF,
HE HARDENED IT IN FIRE.
WHEN I CLAIMED IT,
I WAS STANDING IN HIS ASHES.
YOU SEE, THE SULAS BELIEVE
THAT FIRE RENEWS.
BY DOING THIS,
I HONOUR MY FATHER.
WOW...
AT LEAST SOME WORLDS
LIVE ON.
THIS IS AS FAR AS I GO
WITH YOU, BEASTMASTER.
I NEED TO RETURN TO MY HOME.
THOUGHT THERE WAS
NO HOME TO RETURN TO.
MY MEMORIES ARE THERE
AND THE GARDEN.
IT NEEDS PLANTING.
[ WHIMPERING ]
I THINK HE WANTS TO GO WITH YOU.
AFTER WHAT I'VE DONE TO HIM?
HE SEEKS NO VENGEANCE.
HE JUST WANTS TO BE YOUR FRIEND.
I THINK YOU TWO NEED EACH OTHER.
SO WHAT WILL HAPPEN NOW?
WELL, ONE DAY THERE
WILL ONLY BE ONE.
AND SOMETIME AFTER THAT...
NONE.
PEOPLE WILL UNDERSTAND
THE IMPORTANCE OF ALL LIFE,
ALL SPECIES OF ANIMAL,
ALL FORMS OF MAN.
IF THEY DON'T, THERE'LL BE
NO FUTURE FOR ANY OF US.
