BeastMaster (1999–2002): Season 2, Episode 15 - Centaurs - full transcript

SOUND THE ALARM!

SOMEONE'S STEALING THE HORSES!

OVER THERE!

WHAT'S HAPPENING,
HJALMAR?

THIEVES, MILORD.
THEY'VE STAMPEDED THE HORSES.

WHERE WERE
THE GUARDS?

NO ONE SAW ANYTHING --
THEY SWEPT

IN OUT OF THE DARKNESS
WITHOUT MAKING A SOUND.

THEY DISAPPEARED...LIKE GHOSTS.

GHOSTS HAVE NO NEED
FOR MY HORSES, HJALMAR.

FIND THEM.



YES, MILORD.

HORSES.

THERE'S MORE OVER HERE.

FRESH.

TAO?

A SMALL HERD, GRAZING, I'LL BET.

THERE'S PLENTY
TO EAT AROUND HERE.

THESE ARE EXCELLENT
FOR SORE MUSCLES. UH?

WE'VE DOING
SO MUCH WALKING LATELY,

MY FEET AND LEGS ARE KILLING ME.

SO WHY ARE YOU SO INTERESTED
IN THESE HORSES?

TRACKS ARE DEEP.
THEY CARRY MEN.

NORDS?

THEY'RE THE ONLY
PEOPLE I KNOW



WHO ENSLAVE HORSES.

ENSLAVE? DAR,
I KNOW HOW YOU FEEL,

BUT SOME WOULD SAY
THAT A FRIENDSHIP

CAN BE FORMED
BETWEEN MAN AND HORSE.

ONE IS FREE AND THE OTHER ISN'T.
THAT'S NOT A FRIENDSHIP.

[ GALLOPING ]

-HORSES.
-THEY'RE COMING THIS WAY.

-THEY'RE ALL AROUND US.
-WE'LL STAY HERE.

I THOUGHT YOU'D SAY THAT.

THERE'S YOUR WEAPON.

YOU KNOW THAT I'D LOOSENED IT.

DOESN'T MATTER.

I THOUGHT YOU MIGHT BE
THE THIEF WE'D BEEN TRACKING.

-WE'RE NOT THEIVES.
-WHERE ARE OUR HORSES?

I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN.

LAST NIGHT,
KING VODEN'S BEST MOUNTS

WERE STOLEN; WE WANT THEM BACK.

WELL, I CAN'T HELP YOU.

WE'LL SEE ABOUT THAT. TAKE THEM.

DAR!

I'LL BE BACK, BEASTMASTER.

WHO WAS THAT?

TAO?

WHOA, WHOA, EASY, EASY, EASY.

IT'S ALL RIGHT.

IT'S ALL RIGHT.

LET HIM GO.

WHO ARE YOU?

THE ANIMAL IS OURS.

WE WILL TAKE HIM.
TURN HIM LOOSE.

TAKE HIM.

YOU COMMUNICATED WITH HIM.

WHAT DID HE SAY?

THE HORSE WILL BE SAFE WITH HIM.

-HE'LL FINALLY RUN FREE.
-YOU SURE?

IT WAS EXACTLY
THE SAME FEELING I HAVE

WHEN I SPEAK WITH THE ANIMALS.

BUT HE'S A MAN.

YEAH.

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...

-YOU LOST TWO MORE HORSES.
-AND TWO MORE MEN.

MEN I CAN REPLACE.
HORSES ARE SCARCE.

I'M PLANNING
A CAMPAIGN, HJALMAR.

EVERY HORSE WE HAVE IS WORTH
ITS WEIGHT IN GOLD.

I'LL GO BACK AND
TRY AND TRACK THEM.

WHO WERE THEY?

MOUNTED ARCHERS,
A MAN AND WOMAN.

THEY RODE AS IF
THEY WERE BORN

ON HORSEBACK --
THEY USE THE BOW

WITH A SKILL
I'VE NEVER SEEN.

THEY SURPRISED US WHILE WE WERE
QUESTIONING THE BEASTMASTER.

WAS THE BEASTMASTER WITH THEM?

NO, HE WAS AS SURPRISED
AS WE WERE WHEN THEY RODE IN.

AND YET THEY ATTACKED YOU
AND NOT HIM, WHY?

ORDINARY THIEVES DON'T ATTACK
TRAINED SOLDIERS, HJALMAR.

THEY MUST BE SOME ADVANCE
PARTIES FROM ONE OF OUR ENEMIES.

WE'RE SURROUNDED
BY THOSE WHO WISH

TO DRIVE US FROM THESE LANDS.

SEEMED TO ME, THEY
SIMPLY DIDN'T FEAR US.

THEN THEY MUST LEARN TO.

DAR, I KNOW WE HAVE TO KEEP
GOING, BUT...WE'RE ON FOOT.

WE'RE NOT GOING TO CATCH THEM
ANY TIME SOON.

HE MIGHT HAVE THE SAME SKILLS
I DO. HE MIGHT BE JUST LIKE ME.

NO. HE'S WILLING
TO KILL FOR THE HORSES.

-CURUPIRA SAID TO RESPECT LIFE.
-THEN WHAT?

I DON'T KNOW,
BUT I HAVE TO FIND OUT.

[ CHUCKLING ]

WHAT IS IT?

SHARAK'S FOUND THE ARCHERS.
THEY'RE NOT FAR.

-INCLUDING THEIR OWN?
-THEY'RE WAITING UNRESTRAINED.

-WHAT'S HAPPENING?
-WE'LL KNOW WHEN WE ARRIVE.

BUT WE'RE ON FOOT...
NOT THAT THAT MATTERS.

I COULD WATCH THEM ALL DAY.

THEY'RE SO PRETTY.

THEY HAVE SUCH GRACE
AND HARMONY WITH THEIR ANIMALS.

YES, WELL, THEY WOULD,
WOULDN'T THEY?

WHAT DO
YOU MEAN?

NO, I'M AGREEING WITH YOU.

HARMONY, CONCORD, PEACE.
NO ARGUMENT.

WHAT'S WRONG?

THEY DON'T BELONG HERE, DO THEY?

BECAUSE THEY HAVE A POWER
THAT IS UNKNOWN IN THIS LAND,

A POWER THAT EVEN MUCH
OF TIME HAS FOUND A PROBLEM.

WHAT KIND OF PROBLEM?

HA, HA, YOU WAIT. YOU'LL SEE.

[ SIGHING ]

[ GIGGLING ]

IT'S SO LOVELY.
SUCH A BOUNTIFUL LAND.

SO FULL OF PEOPLE
WHO DON'T DESERVE IT.

WHAT LAND IS NOT?

[ GIGGLING ]

OUR LAND.

MAYBE THINGS WILL
GET BETTER AND

WE CAN GO
HOME SOON.

YEAH, WELL, UNTIL THEN,
WE SHALL JUST HAVE TO LIVE

WHAT ABOUT THAT MAN WITH THE
STAFF? HE FELT DIFFERENT.

HE'S NOT OF THIS PLACE.

HE CAN'T BE. I...

I DON'T KNOW WHAT
TO MAKE OF HIM.

THEY WANT TO ROAM FREE.

[ LAUGHING ]

PERHAPS WE SHOULD OBLIGE THEM.

NIGHT'S FALLING.
THEY'LL BE RESTING SOON.

WE KEEP MOVING,
WE CAN MAKE UP SOME GROUND.

DAR, I CAN'T
TAKE ANOTHER STEP.

-STAY HERE. I'LL GO ON ALONE.
-DAR,

I KNOW YOU FEEL A CONNECTION
WITH THESE PEOPLE,

BUT IF YOU FIND THEM, THEN WHAT?

TAO, EVERY DAY, THE ANIMALS
I PROTECT, FACE NEW DANGERS.

THERE ARE CITIES LIKE XINCA,
THERE ARE TRIBES BEING DISPLACED

BY GREAT WALLS OF ICE, NOT TO
MENTION MEN LIKE ZAD AND VODEN.

IF THERE WAS SOMEONE ELSE,
SOMEONE WHO COULD HELP ME,

THEN IT'S GOING TO MAKE SUCH
A DIFFERENCE FOR THE ANIMALS.

BUT WHAT IF THEIR INTENTIONS
WEREN'T AS NOBLE AS YOURS?

THEY HAD NO QUALMS
IN KILLING THE SOLDIERS.

THEN THAT'S ALL THE MORE REASON
I FIND OUT

WHAT MY ANIMAL FRIENDS
ARE UP AGAINST.

GOOD POINT.

[ LAUGHING ]

GET SOME REST.
I'LL BE BACK BEFORE DAWN.

OHHH.

WAIT, DON'T GO!

WHAT ARE THEY?

CENTAURS.

CENTAURS.

I'VE NEVER SEEN
SUCH CREATURES.

WHY HAVEN'T YOU
TOLD ME OF THEM?

AN OVERSIGHT, I APOLOGIZE.

THEY'VE BEEN AROUND
ALMOST AS LONG AS I HAVE.

WELL, THEN WHY
HAVEN'T I EVER

SEEN THEM?

THEY KEEP TO THEMSELVES MOSTLY.

IN THIS AGE OF UPHEAVAL,
EVEN THEY MUST VENTURE FORTH

INTO THIS PART OF THE WORLD.

THE WALL OF ICE
HAS INTRUDED ON THEIR LAND.

AND QUITE COVERED IT.

SADLY, THEY WERE NEVER BUILT

FOR THE COLD -- NOR WERE THEY
BUILT FOR THE HUMAN WORLD.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

WELL, HUMANS COMBINE THE HUMAN
AND THE ANIMAL, THE RATIONAL

AND THE INTUITIVE.

TO VARYING DEGREES.

BUT THE CENTAURS,
DON'T YOU THINK THEY'RE

A BIT OBVIOUS, A TOUCH CRUDE?

THEY'RE NOT CRUDE.

THEY'RE PURE.

THEY'RE PERFECT.

THEY'RE RELICS, THROWBACKS,
PAST THEIR PRIME.

BUT...

THEY DO HAVE A POWER
OF THE IMAGINATION,

AND THAT MAKES THEM A DANGER.

WHAT SORT OF DANGER?

THEY TEND TO INSPIRE THOSE
IT IS BEST NOT TO INSPIRE,

BRINGING CHAOS
GALLOPING AFTER THEM.

-SO YOU SAW THEM CHANGE?
-YEAH.

-AND THEY WEREN'T JUST SHADOWS?
-NO, I SAW THEM.

THAT'S HOW I CAN COMMUNICATE
WITH THEM. THEY'RE ANIMALS.

I'VE HEARD LEGENDS
OF SKILLED RIDERS AND ARCHERS

WHO COULD TRANSFORM
INTO WHAT YOU SAW.

NOW, BECAUSE OF
THEIR ANIMAL NATURE,

THEY DISOBEYED THE NECESSARY
LAWS AND RESTRAINTS THAT MAN

HAS PUT UPON HIMSELF, OBEYING
ONLY THEIR ANIMAL INSTINCTS.

BUT THEY'RE FREE.

AH, BUT MORE FREE
THAN ANYTHING ELSE.

IT'S A GOOD DAY FOR HUNTING.

YES, MILORD.

I KNOW FORTUNE
WILL FAVOUR US TODAY.

YOU RIDE ALONE?

LESS CHANCE THEY'LL
HEAR ME COMING;

MORE CHANCE
I'LL CATCH THEM BY SURPRISE.

I DREAMT OF THEM LAST NIGHT,
RIDING LIKE THE WIND

BEFORE OUR ARMY,
SHOWERING OUR ENEMY

WITH ARROWS, CRUSHING ANYTHING
THAT STOOD IN THEIR WAY.

IT WAS MAGNIFICENT.

YES, MILORD.

DON'T LET THEM KNOW
THAT YOU FOUND THEM.

IF THEY'RE THE WARRIORS
YOU DESCRIBE, THEY'D RATHER

FIGHT THAN ACCEDE TO MY WISHES.

BE CAUTIOUS.

THEY WILL BE YOURS, MY KING.
I SWEAR.

BREAKFAST?

SUCH SERVICE.

[ LAUGHING ]

AH!

HOW SHALL WE SPEND
THIS GLORIOUS DAY?

THE ONLY ONES STILL PENNED
ARE THOSE THE WARRIORS RIDE.

NOT MANY OF THEM LEFT.

ONE CAPTIVE IS
ONE TOO MANY.

DON'T WORRY.

WE'RE NOT LEAVING UNTIL
WE'VE FREED THEM ALL.

WHAT DO YOU WANT?

WE MEAN YOU NO HARM.

SAGITTO...

WE HAVE FOOD. JOIN US.

THANK YOU.

SORRY I SURPRISED
YOU LAST NIGHT.

HOW IS IT THAT YOU HAVE
THE POWERS THAT YOU DO?

IT'S A LONG STORY.

VERY LONG STORY.

WHERE ARE YOU FROM?

FAR FROM HERE.

AND YOUR HOME?

OUR HOME IS WHERE
WE FIND OURSELVES.

ALWAYS A GOOD PLACE TO LIVE.

AHEM. HOW QUICKLY AN INTEREST
BECOMES AN OBSESSION.

I'M NOT OBSESSED.
I'M JUST TRYING--

I'M WELL AWARE OF WHAT
YOU'RE TRYING TO DO, MY DEAR.

BUT INTERVENTION
IS OUT OF THE QUESTION.

INTERVENTION?
WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

EVENTS TAKE THEIR COURSE.

THERE IS A TIME FOR ALL THINGS

AND A LOGIC, WHETHER
YOU GRASP IT OR NOT.

WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN?
YOU KNOW, DON'T YOU?

WHATEVER IT IS MY
SENTIMENTAL FRIEND,

THE OUTCOME
WILL NOT BE DECIDED BY YOU.

OUR LAND WAS A PARADISE, HIDDEN
FROM MEN'S EYES.

THE FIRST YEARS, WE FLOURISHED

IN ISOLATION, BUT NOW...

THE ICE AGE AND THE MIGRATION.

WE WERE OVERRUN.

THERE WEREN'T ENOUGH
OF US TO TURN THEM BACK.

AND THE ICE COVERED
OUR LAND TOO.

SO WE SCATTERED...
TO FIND NEW LAND.

AND WE FOUND THIS PLACE,
WHERE THEY ENSLAVE HORSES.

I MUST SHOW YOU SOMETHING
YOU MAY FIND INTERESTING.

JUST HOLD THIS.

A LITTLE INVENTION OF MINE.

PUT THE BERRIES IN THE TOP.

PUSH DOWN AND THE JUICE...

COMES OUT THROUGH
THE BOTTOM THERE.

IT'S FASTER.

YEAH. NOT AS MESSY EITHER.

CAN I TRY?

OF COURSE.

[ LAUGHING ]

-HAVE THOUGHT OF THIS.
-IT'S JUST SIMPLE

-MECHANICS, REALLY.
-THAT'S NOT THE WAY WE ARE.

WE LIVE BY INSTINCTS,
BY OUR WILL.

WE ACCEPT LIFE.
WE DON'T THINK ABOUT CHANGE.

WELL, CHANGE
ISN'T NECESSARILY A BAD THING.

PERHAPS, BUT HUMANS
ARE NEVER SATISFIED.

THEY STRIVE TO CLIMB HIGHER,
TO DOMINATE.

ONES LIKE US ARE LEFT BEHIND.

HE FEELS SOMETHING.

SO DO I.

SOMEONE'S APPROACHING.

NO, THEY'RE ALREADY HERE.

RADIA!

NO!

HE'S TAKING THEM TO XINCA.
WE'LL GET THEM.

-YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND.
-THERE'S NO TIME.

WE CAN'T SURVIVE
WITHOUT THEM.

IF WE'RE SEPARATED
FOR EVEN A FEW HOURS...

WE'LL DIE.

BRILLIANT STRATEGY.

I KNEW YOU WERE WORTHY
OF YOUR RANK, HJALMAR.

-THANK YOU, MILORD.
-LOOK AT THEM.

THEY WON'T GIVE UP.
THEY'RE LOYAL TO THEIR ARCHERS.

LET'S JUST HOPE THE ARCHERS
ARE LOYAL TO THEM.

THEY'LL COME FOR
THEM, MILORD,

I'M SURE OF IT.

THEY'VE ROPED THE MARE.

THAT'S IT, EASY.

EASY.

AHH, AHH...

OH, WHAT HAPPENED,
WHAT HAPPENED?

[ GROANING ]

SOME PAIN, AS IF I'D STUMBLED.

I CAN'T SEE ANYTHING.

[ GROANING ]

IF THAT HORSE HAS BEEN LAMED,
YOU WILL BE LAMED...PERMANENTLY!

WHAT IS IT?

WE'RE AS ONE WITH OUR HORSES.

A SINGLE SPIRIT IN TWO BODIES.

YES, IF SHE WERE INJURED,
I'D SHARE IN HER PAIN...AHH!

I CAN TRAVEL FASTER ALONE.
YOU TWO CARE FOR HER.

-I'LL COME BACK FOR YOU.
-TAO CAN STAY.

I'LL GO.

HE'S RIGHT. GO.

HURRY.

[ GROANING ]

WE HAVE TO DO SOMETHING.

THE CENTAURS
HAVE LOST THEIR HORSES.

WITHOUT THEM, THEY'LL DIE.

YOU REALIZE THIS IS
PURE SELF-INDULGENCE.

I CAN'T STAND BY
AND WATCH THEM BE DESTROYED.

WE HAVE TO DO SOMETHING.
WE MUST.

THERE'S NOTHING
TO BE GAINED FROM

BECOMING EMOTIONALLY INVOLVED.

HOW CAN YOU BE SO CRUEL?

NOT CRUEL, SIMPLY ALOOF.

IT'S MY JOB AND YOURS.

THEY NEED OUR HELP.

THEY NEED OUR ATTENTION.
THERE IS A DIFFERENCE.

PLEASE, LET
ME HELP THEM.

CENTAURS PRIDE THEMSELVES ON
THEIR FREEDOM AND INDEPENDENCE.

IF YOU HELP, YOU TAKE THAT AWAY.

LEAVE THEM TO THEIR FATE.

IF THEIR TIME HAS COME,
THEN WE MUST WATCH

THEIR DEMISE WITH RESPECT.

NO.

OR IF THEY SHOULD BE SPARED,

IT MUST BE IN A MANNER

THAT LEAVES THEIR VISION
OF THEMSELVES INTACT.

DON'T BECOME INVOLVED.

YOU'LL THANK ME THAT YOU DIDN'T.

VODEN'S COMPOUND'S

INSIDE THE CITY GATES.

I'VE NEVER BEEN IN A CITY.

YOU'RE NOT MISSING MUCH.

WHEN I WAS YOUNGER,
I COULD TAKE...

NO.

I CAN KILL THEM BOTH.

WHY?

WHY? BECAUSE THEY ARE THE ENEMY.

THERE'S NO REASON
TO RAISE AN ALARM.

THERE'S NO NEED TO KILL.

LOOK, I UNDERSTAND YOUR ANGER.

WE'RE HERE TO SAVE YOUR HORSES.

WE CAN'T DO THAT
IF YOU DON'T CURB

YOUR INSTINCTS
AND USE YOUR HEAD.

WHAT DO YOU SUGGEST?

FOLLOW ME.

[ CHUCK;ING ]

HAVE OUR SENTRIES
DETECTED ANYTHING?

NOT YET. I EXPECT
THEM AT NIGHTFALL.

WE'LL POST GUARDS AT ALL

-THE GATES AND CORRALS AT DUSK.
-I WIN...

DON'T LOOK AT ME LIKE THAT.
YOU LEFT YOURSELF OPEN.

FORTUNE FAVOURS THOSE
WHO DO THE UNEXPECTED.

MAKE SURE OUR
SENTRIES ARE ALERT.

WITH THESE ARCHERS IN MY ARMY,
WE WOULD BE INVINCIBLE.

WE'RE INVINCIBLE NOW.

I STILL WANT THEM ALIVE.

I MUST SEE THEM
IN BATTLE. UNDERSTOOD?

THIS WAY.

THERE'S A TUNNEL INTO THE CITY.

NOW, THIS SHOULD HELP.

IT MAY FEEL A LITTLE BIT
HOT...SOOTHING.

-UH, MAY I?
-OF COURSE.

AHHH...

YES, IT FEELS HOT.

IT FEELS GOOD.

I LIKE IT.

I TOLD YOU...

IT'S BEEN
A GOOD DAY.

I NEED A HAND
WITH THESE.

HEY...THE HORSES ARE NEAR.

I CAN SENSE THEM.

COME ON.

THERE ARE GUARDS EVERYWHERE.

VODEN MUST BE EXPECTING US.

SEND HIM OFF.
HE'LL GIVE US AWAY.

WE NEED TO ACT. THERE IS
NO TIME. RADIA WILL DIE SOON.

WE WAIT.

GOOD.

-STAY HERE.
-WHERE ARE YOU GOING?

TRUST ME.

I'VE NEVER SEEN IT WORK
THIS QUICKLY BEFORE.

-I'VE CHANGED THE FORMULA--
-SOMETHING HAS HAPPENED.

THEY FOUND THE HORSES.

AH.

NO, NO, DON'T YOU SEE --
YOUR BALM'S

HAVING AN EFFECT ON MY MARE.

OF COURSE.

RUB IN SOME MORE?

MY PLEASURE.

THE HORSES! THE HORSES!

THE HORSES ARE LOOSE.

NO, THEY'RE HERE.

COME ON!

THIS IS OUR CHANCE. COME ON.

THEY'RE COMING.

STOP THEM!

DID YOU SEE THAT?

AFTER THEM.

I SAID GET OUR HORSES.

WE'RE GOING AFTER THEM. NOW!

YES, MILORD.

I MUST HAVE THAT CREATURE.

HALF MAN, HALF HORSE.
THE IMAGE SETS MY MIND ON FIRE.

YES, MILORD.

A HUMAN'S SKILL
AND THE SPEED OF A STEED

AND APPARENTLY
CHANGE FORM AT WILL.

IMAGINE A PHALYNX OF SUCH
ARCHERS GALLOPING DOWN ON THE

ARMIES OF OUR ENEMIES --
WHO WOULD DARE STAND

BEFORE THEM -- WE MUST
FIND OUT WHERE THEY'RE FROM.

-WHERE THEY'RE FROM?
=MUST BE A LAND NEARBY.

I'LL WAGER THERE'S
HUNDREDS OF THEM.

PERHAPS THOUSANDS --
WHEN WE CAPTURE THESE TWO,

WE'LL FORCE THEM
TO TELL US WHERE THE OTHERS ARE.

BUT SUCH WARRIORS
MAY NOT WARM

TO YOUR SERVICE, MILORD.

WE ALREADY KNOW
WHAT THEIR WEAKNESS

IS, HJALMAR -- THEIR DEDICATION

TO THEIR HORSES
WILL BE THEIR DOWNFALL.

HALF THE BATTLE IS ALREADY WON.

SAGITTO. SHE'S GROWING WEAKER.

I KNOW. WE HAVE TO HURRY.

I CAN FEEL HER GETTING CLOSER.

THEY'RE COMING.

THEY'LL BE HERE SOON.

LIE DOWN NEXT TO ME, TAO.

-WHAT?
-LIE DOWN NEXT TO ME.

I'M COLD. I NEED YOUR WARMTH.

PLEASE.

[ GROANING ]

THEY RIDE AS IF
BORN ON HORSEBACK.

YOUR WORDS WERE WELL-CHOSEN,
HJALMAR. THEY'RE MAGICAL.

THEY'RE FREAKS,
MONSTERS FROM

SOME BYGONE AGE.

BUT DID YOU SEE THE EFFECT
THEY HAD ON THE MEN?

THEY WERE TERRIFIED,
AS WERE YOU -- CAN YOU IMAGINE

AN ARMY OF CREATURES LIKE
THAT -- NOTHING WOULD BE

OUR OF OUR REACH...NOTHING.

-SAGITTO, WE GOT TO STOP.
-WE CAN'T STOP.

-HANDLE THE PACE.
-THAT'S WHY WE MUST MOVE.

UNLESS SHE AND RADIA ARE JOINED,
THEY'LL BOTH DIE.

MAYBE IT'S NOT TOO LATE.

SHE SAYS SHE CAN MAKE IT.

NO, NO, NO, JUST LAY STILL.

DON'T TAX YOUR STRENGTH.

I WANT
TO HELP, TAO.

I MUST TRY
TO FIND MY MARE.

NO, THEY'LL BE HERE,
AND YOU'LL BE GONE.

THEY'RE COMING.
YOU SAID IT YOURSELF.

THEY'LL BE HERE ANY MINUTE NOW.

JUST A MINUTE.

YAH! YAH!

THIS IS UNIMAGINABLE CRUELTY.

FASTER!

MUST WE STAND BY AND WATCH SUCH
BEAUTY ERASED FROM THE LAND?

NOT NECESSARILY.

BUT WE MUST STAND BY.

IT'S ALL RIGHT, TAO.

I'M CONTENT.

I KNOW SAGITTO IS ALL RIGHT.

THIS ISN'T OVER. YOU'LL SEE.

WE'VE SHARED SO MUCH,

SAGITTO AND I.

WE WERE NEVER APART.

[ SIGHING ]

THAT'S THE HARDEST THING.

TAO...

TELL HIM THAT EVERY DAY
OF MY LIFE WAS JOYFUL, FULL,

BECAUSE OF MY LOVE FOR HIM.

WILL YOU TELL HIM?

YES.

YES, OF COURSE.

RADIA.

RADIA!

OH, RADIA.

RADIA.

RADIA.

RADIA.

HEY, HEY,

RADIA.

RADIA.

OH, NO!

GET HER ON THE HORSE.

IF THE HORSE LIVES, SHE'LL LIVE.

RADIA...

RADIA, PLEASE COME BACK TO ME.

WELL, THAT WAS TOO CLOSE.

TOO CLOSE BY FAR.

THERE THEY ARE!

VODEN.

THEY'VE CHANGED BACK AGAIN.
ARE THEY NEVER THE SAME?

AS I SAID,
THEY'RE MONSTERS.

OUR TURN TO PROVIDE THE HELP.

YOU CAN'T OUTRUN
THEM CARRYING US.

-WE WON'T LEAVE YOU HERE.
-WE CAN'T STAY HERE.

YES, WE CAN. GO AHEAD.

I KNOW WHAT I'M DOING.

I CERTAINLY
HOPE SO.

WHAT HE ALWAYS DOES --
DEFENDING SOME DUMB ANIMAL

FROM BECOMING PART OF HISTORY.

-NOW WHAT?
-HE WANTS A FIGHT?

AND HE'LL GET ONE...

THERE HE IS!

FASTER...YAH!

I'LL NEVER DOUBT YOU AGAIN.

LET'S GET OUT OF HERE.

AFTER THEM, YOU IDIOTS!

GO!

I HOPE THAT
WASN'T TOO TRAUMATIC.

IT WAS, BUT I UNDERSTAND.

GOOD, BECAUSE IT WAS
YOUR MOST IMPORTANT LESSON.

WHAT WAS PUT IN MOTION
HAS CREATED THE DREAMS

AND DESIRES
THAT DRIVE ALL CREATURES.

AND WE MUST NEVER
ALLOW THEM TO FEEL

AS IF THEY HAVE
NO CONTROL OVER THEIR LIVES.

CORRECT -- EVEN THOUGH
THEY DON'T. HA, HA, HA...

ANY OTHER REASON
YOU TRIED TO STOP ME?

WELL, TO BE QUITE FRANK,
I DIDN'T WANT

TO SEE YOU MESS IT UP.

YOU TEND TO BECOME
EMOTIONALLY INVOLVED,

AND THAT INVARIABLY
LEADS TO MISTAKES.

IF YOU DON'T MIND ME SAYING,

YOU DO SEEM PLEASED
WITH THE OUTCOME.

WHY SO HAPPY TO SEE
THE BEASTMASTER

SAVE RELICS AND THROWBACKS?

YOU MAY NOT HAVE
NOTICED THIS, MY DEAR,

BUT I'M SOMEWHAT
OF A RELIC MYSELF.

AND ONE DOESN'T LIKE TO SEE
OLD FRIENDS FAZED OUT.

I'D HAVE MISSED THEM.

IT'S AS SIMPLE AS THAT.

AND YOU ACCUSE ME OF
BEING SENTIMENTAL.

IT TAKES ONE TO KNOW ONE.

SO WHERE WILL
YOU GO NOW?

UH, WE DON'T KNOW.

LOWLANDS PERHAPS.

WE'VE HEARD TALES OF A PLACE

THAT'S GREEN, LUSH
AND SAFE FOR HORSES.

THERE WILL BE A HOME FOR US.

WE'LL FIND IT SOMEDAY.

PERHAPS WE'LL RULE IT
WITH MORE THAN

JUST INSTINCT...
IN ORDER TO SURVIVE.

I'M SURE OF IT.

TRAVEL SAFELY.

BYE, TAO.
HOW CAN I EVER THANK YOU?

ACTUALLY, I HAVE
SOMETHING FOR YOU.

HA, HA, HA,
THANK YOU.

TAKE THIS AND SOME
FRUITS AND BERRIES.

YOU'LL NEED THAT.

WHAT IS IT?

I'LL SHOW YOU
TOMORROW AT BREAKFAST.

WE'LL MEET AGAIN.

THANK YOU.

FAREWELL.

WHAT DID HE SAY?

HE SAID THAT FREEDOM
IS WONDERFUL.

BUT FREEDOM COMBINED
WITH RESPECT FOR OTHERS

IS MUCH MORE REWARDING.
