BeastMaster (1999–2002): Season 2, Episode 16 - Fifth Element - full transcript

LIFE IS ABOUT QUESTIONS, DAR.

AND CHILDREN ASK QUESTIONS
ALL THE TIME.

WHY DO WE SLEEP?
WHY IS THE SUN HOT?

BUT WHEN THEY GROW UP,
THEY STOP ASKING WHY.

THAT'S BECAUSE THEY
KNOW THE ANSWERS.

THEY DON'T KNOW
ALL THE ANSWERS.

AND WE SHOULD
BE ASKING QUESTIONS

BUT THEN THERE WOULDN'T BE
ANY TIME TO HEAR THE ANSWERS.

WHAT?

YOU'VE BEEN TALKING
ABOUT THIS ALL MORNING.

BUT YOU HAVEN'T HEARD
THE BIRDS SINGING.



AND YOU DIDN'T LISTEN
TO THE WATER TRICKLE

THROUGH THE BROOK
WE JUST CROSSED.

MUST YOU ALWAYS
BE THIS CURIOUS?

CURIOSITY LEADS TO DISCOVERY,
DISCOVERY LEADS TO KNOWLEDGE,

AND KNOWLEDGE HAS TO BE
OUR GREATEST GOAL.

AH, BUT IT'S ALSO WISE TO KNOW
WHEN TO LEAVE THINGS ALONE.

BECAUSE TOO MUCH CURIOSITY CAN
UPSET THE BALANCE OF NATURE.

WHY?

[ SIGHING ]

I THINK WHAT
I'M TRYING TO SAY IS,

DON'T LET WHAT'S
GOING ON IN HERE,

OVERSHADOW WHAT'S
GOING ON IN HERE.

ACTUALLY, RIGHT NOW, MY STOMACH
IS TELLING ME THAT I'M HUNGRY.

OK.



YOU GO AND LOOK
FOR THE FOOD,

AND I'LL MAKE
THE FIRE.

TAKE THESE LITTLE GUYS
TO HELP YOU.

THANK YOU.

THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT
I'M TALKING ABOUT.

YOU SEE, WE KNOW
FROM THE COLOUR

THAT THESE BERRIES
ARE NOT FIT TO EAT.

THOSE, ON THE OTHER HAND, ARE.

AND HOW DO WE
KNOW THIS? WELL...

AS I SAID, THERE'S
A STORE OF KNOWLEDGE

WHICH IS PASSED ON
THROUGH OUR BLOODLINE.

SO, WHAT WE FIND IS..

DAR!

DAR!

DAR!

LOOK. IT BEGAN TO GLOW AS SOON
AS I PULLED IT OUT OF THE ROCK.

LOOK AT THIS.

WHAT DO YOU MAKE OF THAT?

I SEE SOMEONE ENCASED BY STONE.

GOT CAUGHT IN A MUDSLIDE
WHICH HARDENED OVER TIME.

NO...LET HIM
REST IN PEACE.

IF WE DIG HIM OUT,
WE MIGHT BE ABLE

TO FIND OUT
WHAT TRIBE HE CAME FROM

AND WHAT BROUGHT HIM
HERE IN THE FIRST PLACE.

WHY HAVE YOU
BROUGHT ME HERE?

TO WITNESS AN ASPECT OF HUMAN
NATURE WHICH MAKES THEM BOTH

UNIQUELY CHARMING
AND UTTERLY MADDENING.

IT'S CALLED CURIOSITY.

BUT ONE

CAN'T LEARN WITHOUT
BEING CURIOUS.

YES, BUT HUMANS TAKE IT
ONE STEP TOO FAR.

ALL OF THEM?

MOSTLY THE ONES
WHO SHOULD KNOW BETTER.

[ GASPING ]

IS SOMETHING
WRONG?

VERY WRONG.

IN FACT, BEYOND WRONG.

WELL, THEN STOP IT.

NO -- EVENTS ONCE IN MOTION

MUST BE ALLOWED
TO REMAIN IN MOTION.

ALWAYS?

SO FAR, YES.

YOU SEE, DAR, THIS IS IMPORTANT.

[ COUGHING ]

[ COUGHING ]

I BELIEVE THIS BELONGS TO ME.

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 DON'T...

UNDERSTAND?

OF COURSE NOT --
YOU CAN'T POSSIBLY

UNDERSTAND.

YOU'VE SET ME FREE.

AND NOW THAT I'M FREE,

THE WORLD AS YOU KNOW IT

IS ABOUT TO CHANGE.

IN WHAT WAY?

ANY WAY I CHOOSE.

PERHAPS, I SHOULD

START WITH YOU.

LEAVE HIM ALONE.

DON'T CHALLENGE ME, MORTAL.

THERE WAS A TIME
WHEN EARTH AND EVERYTHING

-ON IT TREMBLED BEFORE ME.
-NOT ANY MORE.

SORCERY.

LIKE NONE YOU'VE EVER SEEN.

BACK IN THAT TIME, ONLY

MY TRUSTED CEREBUS...

THE DOG WHO GUARDED
THE ENTRANCE

TO MY WORLD...

HAD THE RIGHT TO APPROACH ME.

ALL OTHERS WOULD
AVERT THEIR EYES

AND CRINGE IN TERROR!

OOF!

WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS?

BECAUSE I CAN.

WHO ARE YOU?

ANNUBIS!

COME TO RECLAIM

MY RIGHTFUL WORLD.

THANKS TO YOU, MY

CURIOUS FRIEND.

YOU DESERVE A FITTING REWARD

FOR RETURNING ME TO THIS...

LAND OF THE LIVING.

YES...

A CREATURE OF REASON.

ONE WHO QUESTIONS HIS WORLD,

INSTEAD OF BEING AWED BY IT.

YOU NEED TO LEARN
OBEDIENCE AND RESPECT,

LIKE MY CEREBUS -- YOU NEED

TO EXPERIENCE
THE EXQUISITE WONDER

OF FEAR.

BY DAY'S END, YOU WILL SEE

THE WORLD THROUGH
DIFFERENT EYES, MY FRIEND.

AND WHAT YOU WILL SEE WILL BE

A DIFFERENT WORLD.

I CAN ALREADY

TASTE YOUR FEAR!

OH, FOR THE NEXT COURSE.

PANIC, SUFFERING,

CONFUSION!

IT SHALL BE A FEAST!

TAO...

LET'S GET
OUT OF HERE.

WHY IS HE-- WHY IS HE
MAKING THIS HAPPEN?

I DON'T KNOW.

LET'S GET THE ANIMALS TO SAFETY,

THEN WE'LL GO AFTER HIM
AND FIND OUT.

LET'S GO BACK AND MAKE SURE
THERE ARE NO MORE ANIMALS.

DAR, DAR, WE KNOW...

LOOK, THE FIRE'S SPREADING.

WE SHOULD GO.

WHAT'S WRONG?

YOU CAN SMELL THAT, CAN'T YOU?

[ SNIFFING ]

ALL I SMELL
IS SMOKE.

IT'S OVER HERE.

TAO!

[ WHINING ]

I KNEW IT.

YOU COULD SMELL HIM
IN ALL THIS SMOKE?

I KNOW, IT DOESN'T MAKE
ANY SENSE TO ME EITHER.

DAR, HE'S CHANGED ME.
HE'S CHANGED ME SOMEHOW.

IT'S SOMETHING ON THE INSIDE.

I CAN FEEL IT.

WHAT?

NOTHING.

LET'S GET BACK TO THE RIVER.

I HAVE QUESTIONS.

THEN ASK.

THAT LOOK IN YOUR EYES...

I'VE NEVER SEEN YOU
SO TROUBLED.

I THOUGHT SUCH DESTRUCTION
OUGHT NOT TO MOVE OUR EMOTIONS.

CORRECT -- HOWEVER, ONE CAN'T
HELP HAVING CERTAIN REACTIONS.

YES...PARENTS WISH THE BEST
FOR THEIR CHILDREN.

THEY FEED THEM, CLOTHE THEM,
HELP THEM LEARN.

THEN ONE DAY, THEY MUST LET GO,

AND BECOME OBSERVERS
IN THEIR LIVES.

AND LATER, SOMETHING
HAPPENS TO THE CHILDREN

THAT THE PARENTS CAN'T CONTROL?

YOU LEARN QUICKLY.

THE PARENTS
MUST LET THE CHILDREN

DEAL WITH THE EVENTS
ON THEIR OWN...

YET IT STILL MAKES
THE PARENTS FEEL--

SOMETHING IS HAPPENING
TO A LAND AND CREATURES

I FEEL ODDLY ATTACHED TO.

SADLY, I CANNOT PREVENT IT.

CANNOT OR WILL NOT?

AMOUNTS TO THE SAME THING.

ISN'T ANNUBIS
A THREAT TO

THE ORDER OF
THE NATURAL WORLD?

ANNUBIS HAS
NO CONCEPT OF ORDER.

THE ONLY THING
HE UNDERSTANDS IS EXCESS.

HE WAS NEVER MEANT
TO BE FREE IN THIS WORLD.

NOW HE'S RENDING
THE VERY FABRIC OF FATE.

I THINK I KNOW WHAT ANNUBIS
MEANT BY SAYING YOU'D SEE

THE WORLD THROUGH
DIFFERENT EYES.

TAO, YOU'RE BECOMING
SOMETHING ELSE.

I'M TURNING INTO AN ANIMAL?

WHAT AM I GOING TO DO?

WE MAY STILL HAVE TIME, I MEAN,

HE DID SAY IT WOULDN'T HAPPEN
UNTIL NIGHTFALL, RIGHT?

WELL, THAT'S ALL
RIGHT, THEN. OH...

THIS, THIS HAS TO STOP.

IT LOOKS
LIKE ALL

HIS POWER CAME
FROM THE SCEPTRE.

I MEAN, THE FIRE,

THE BLOWS HE THREW AGAINST ME.

THE FLASH THAT
BLINDED YOU -- WHAT IF

WE GET THE SCEPTRE
FROM HIM? MAYBE THEN--

MAYBE THEN, WHAT?

WE DON'T KNOW HOW
IT WORKS, OR...

WE HAVE ABSOLUTLEY NO IDEA
HOW MUCH POWER HE HAS.

WOOF!

STOP IT.

IARA.

WHAT ARE YOU
DOING HERE?

IT'S A LITTLE BIT
HARD TO CONCENTRATE ON

IN THE FOREST TRAMPLING
THROUGH MY WATERS IN TERROR.

SINCE YOUR DOMAIN
EXTENDS BEYOND THE WATER,

WHY DON'T YOU TRY DOING
SOMETHING TO HELP THEM?

HMM...

WHAT DID THIS?

SOMEONE WHO CALLS
HIMSELF ANNUBIS.

ANNUBIS?

YOU KNOW HIM?

WHO IS HE?

THE DESTROYER.

DESTROYER?

HE WAS GRANTED POWER OVER
THE FOUR ELEMENTS OF NATURE.

FIRE...WATER...AIR AND EARTH.

BUT HE MISUSED THAT POWER,
AND WAS IMPRISONED IN A ROCK.

I SET HIM FREE.

HE IS IMMORTAL
AND ALL-POWERFUL.

NOTHING CAN STAND IN HIS WAY.

WE MUST TRY. CAN YOU CALL THE
WATERS DOWN, PUT THE FIRES OUT?

-PFF...CALL DOWN THE WATERS.
-IARA, PLEASE.

DO IT FOR THE ANIMALS.

WILL YOU DO IT FOR ME?
I'M ASKING YOU.

HERE.

ANNUBIS!

A SPRINKLE OF RAIN.
SO...UNDERWHELMING.

ALLOW ME TO DEMONSTRATE
HOW IT'S DONE.

YOUR POWERS ARE LAUGHABLE,

LITTLE ONE.

YOU'RE A PATHETIC
LITTLE DEMON, RAPT

IN THE PETTY SQUABBLES

THAT PATHETIC LITTLE DEMONS

NEED TO PASS THEIR DAYS!

YOU HAVE NO UNDERSTANDING
OF THE WATERS

YOU CLAIM TO COMMAND!

NO UNDERSTANDING AT ALL!

YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO BE HERE!

IS THIS A PRIVATE FUNCTION?

AND YOU HAVE NO POWERS
TO STOP ME!

WHAT HAVE I DONE?

-NOTHING STANDS IN HIS WAY.
-THERE MUST BE SOMETHING.

DAR, IF THIS RAIN

DOESN'T STOP SOON,
ALL THE ANIMALS

WE FREED FROM THE FIRE
WILL SOON BE SWEPT AWAY.

OUR ONLY HOPE'S
TO GET ANNUBIS.

DAR, WE CAN'T FIND HIM,
AND EVER IF WE DO,

WE CAN'T DEFEAT
AN IMMORTAL...OHH.

WE'LL HAVE TO TRY.

THIS IS ALL MY FAULT.

IF I HADN'T HAVE DUG THAT
SCEPTRE FROM THE ROCK...ARG!

WHATEVER HE'S DONE TO ME
IS GETTING WORSE.

IT FEELS LIKE ALL
OF MY INSIDES ARE CHANGING,

AND IT'S...ACH...

HARD TO TALK

WE'LL FIND HIM SOON,
AND WHEN WE DO,

TAO, WE'LL FIND YOU A CURE.

HOW?

WE'VE NEVER ENCOUNTERED

ANYONE WITH THIS KIND OF POWER
BEFORE, AND RIGHT NOW,

IT FEELS LIKE HE HAS DOMINION
OVER THE ENTIRE

UNIVERSE.

HIS POWERS COME FROM THE
SCEPTRE. I'M SURE OF IT NOW.

ALL WE HAVE TO DO IS JUST
GET IT AWAY FROM HIM.

WHAT IS IT? DO YOU
SMELL SOMETHING?

ANNUBIS.

WELL, WELL, WELL.

LONG TIME, NO SEE.

WE WISH TO HEAR YOUR THOUGHTS
ON AN IMMINENT MATTER.

IMMINENT? IN WHOSE TIME FRAME?

SURELY, NOT YOURS OR MINE.

WHY DESTROY THE LIVES
OF ALL THESE CREATURES?

I WANT THE WORLD TO RETURN
TO ITS NATURAL STATE.

-CHAOS?
-EXACTLY.

THE FORCES OF NATURE AT THEIR
STRONGEST AND MOST PURE.

YES, BUT THAT STATE
DOESN'T LAST, DOES IT?

EVENTUALLY CHAOS CAUSES
THE WHOLE PROCESS

OF CREATION TO START AGAIN.

NOT IF I CAN HELP IT.

YOU CAN'T STOP IT.

I DON'T HAVE
THE PATIENCE TO WAIT

FOR IT TO GET BACK
TO WHERE IT IS NOW.

PATIENCE? DON'T TALK
TO ME ABOUT PATIENCE!

I'V BEEN WAITING EONS
FOR THIS DAY.

I'M ONLY TRYING TO SAVE YOU
A LOT OF WASTED EFFORT.

YOU'RE TRYING

TO COVER YOUR OWN MISTAKE.

YOU HAVEN'T TOLD HER.

HAVE YOU GROWN
ADDLED WITH TIME?

YOU KNOW HIM?

OLD FRIENDS, WE'RE NOT.

YES, WE DID MEET ONCE.

BUT I MUST SAY...
ONCE WAS ENOUGH.

I THOUGHT ANNUBIS
COULD BE TAUGHT

TO HARNESS HIS POWERS.

TO ASSIST IN CREATION.

SO, I RELEASED HIM
FROM HIS PRISON OF ROCK.

WE DISAGREED ON THE WAY

THE UNIVERSE SHOULD RUN --
HE WAS ACTION,

I WAS REACTION.

I BELIEVE THAT ONCE
EVENTS ARE SET IN MOTION,

THEY MUST BE LEFT
TO FIND THEIR OWN COURSE.

ANNUBIS, HOWEVER,

PUSHED THE POWERS
OF NATURE TO THEIR FULL

WHAT HE PUT IN MOTION,

INCREASED IN MOTION UNTIL
IT DESTROYED EVERYTHING

IT CAME IN CONTACT WITH.

HE KNEW NOTHING IN MODERATION.

SO, I DECIDED

HE NEEDED SOME TIME
FOR CONTEMPLATION --

SOME TIME TO SEE

WHAT NATURE COULD EVOLVE

IF IT WERE GIVEN TIME

TO EVOLVE.

YOU ENCASED ME IN MUD FOR EONS.

FORCED ME TO WATCH AN ETERNITY
OF LIFE ENDLESSLY EVOLVING.

AND YOU'VE LEARNED
NOTHING IN ALL THAT TIME?

YOU'RE SURE ANNUBIS
IS THIS WAY?

TAO, TALK TO ME.

DAR! THIS IS MADNESS.

YOU CANNOT FIGHT
AGAINST AN IMMORTAL.

I HAVE TO DO
SOMETHING.

NO. HELP YOURSELF.

CHOOSE TO LIVE.

IARA, I CAN'T LIVE IN A WORLD

THAT ISN'T FILLED
WITH THE LIVING.

MY WORLD WILL SURVIVE
THIS INUNDATION.

I CAN SHELTER YOU BENEATH THE
WATERS. YOU'LL BE SAFE THERE.

DO NOT

OVERESTIMATE YOUR STRENGTHS.

I HAVE TO GO.

DAR! WHY ARE YOU
BEING SO STUBBORN?

EVERY CREATURE THAT WALKS
THE EARTH IS ABOUT TO DIE.

BUT WE CAN LIVE BENEATH
THE WATERS FOREVER.

-IARA! NO.
-DAR, PLEASE!

IARA, THE WORLD WILL CEASE TO
EXIST IF I DON'T STOP ANNUBIS.

I'LL DO THAT ANY WAY I CAN.

RECONSIDER YOUR ACTIONS.

WHY DON'T YOU
FIND A GOOD SEAT?

SIT BACK, RELAX AND OBSERVE.

PUT HIM BACK
IN THE ROCK.

SEAL IT FOR
GOOD THIS TIME.

-I CAN'T DO THAT.
-WHY?

PERHAPS, HE IS CURIOUS

TO SEE A WORLD IN CHAOS?

YOU DO APPRECIATE THE BEAUTY
OF NATURE IN RAMPAGE.

OH, OF COURSE, I HAVE FRONT ROW
SEATS TO THE UNIVERSE.

HE'S MAKING THIS WORLD
INTO A LIVING HELL.

KINDLY, STAY OUT OF MY WAY.

A WORLD IN CHAOS WOULD BE
LIKE A BLACK HOLE OF NOTHING,

IF THERE WAS NO ONE
TO SEE IT.

OH, BUT I DO HAVE SOMEONE.

A MAN WHO PROTECTS LIFE,
AND A MAN OF REASON.

TWO THINGS I CAN
MOST DO WITHOUT.

THERE'S ONLY ONE POWER
THAT CAN CONTAIN HIM.

WHO? ACTUALLY --
AND THAT WOULD BE THOSE

WHO RELEASED HIM
IN THE FIRST PLACE.

TAO, GET UP.
WE HAVE TO KEEP GOING.

DAR, WAIT.

WHAT DO YOU THINK WILL HAPPEN
IF THE RAIN DOESN'T STOP?

THERE'LL
BE NOTHING

LEFT IN THE
WORLD BUT FISH.

AND WOULD THAT BE
A DESIRABLE OUTCOME?

I LIKE FISH.

YES, BUT OUR JOB IS
TO OVERSEE THE MEASURED

AND A WORLD OF FISH
WOULD TIP THE SCALES?

SCALES.

[ LAUGHING ]

YOU'RE TERRIBLY WITTY.

NO, YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT.

THAT'S WHAT A WORLD
OF FISH WOULD DO.

STILL, OUR BEASTMASTER
MAY YET FIND A WAY.

IT'S THERE IF HE LOOKS FOR IT.

THERE IS A WAY.

OH, THERE'S FAR
TOO MUCH AT STAKE.

WHY, THE SLIGHTEST SLIP
OF THE TONGUE

COULD KILL THEM ALL.

YOU USE MY GIFT OF
TRANSFORMATION AGAINST ME!

AND YOU'RE LEARNING.

WITHOUT THAT THING,
YOU'RE NOTHING AT ALL.

THE AMENTA IS BUT
A SYMBOL OF MY POWER.

I AM THE IMMORTAL!

HOW MANY LIVES
WILL IT TAKE BEFORE

YOU UNDERSTAND
THE PAIN YOU'VE CAUSED?

YOU'LL NEVER KNOW, AND I
WOULDN'T EXPECT MUCH TO HAPPEN

IN THE SHORT TIME
YOU'VE GOT LEFT IN THIS WORLD.

HA, HA, HA...

OH...WHAT'S THIS?
A LITTLE MUD-HOLE?

OPTING FOR

A SUMMER BREEZE,
WHEN YOU SHOULD BE

CALLING DOWN A TORNADO?

WAIT FOR IT...

DAR...

[ LAUGHING ]

-DAR!
-IARA, HELP HIM!

HE'S BEING DRAGGED
TO THE MUD-HOLE.

TIME TO SLOW YOU
DOWN, MY FRIEND.

MAYBE FOR THE LAST TIME.

I AM THE POWER, MORTAL!

YOU HAVE NO CHOICE.

DAR, HOLD ON!

IARA, DO SOMETHING!

I CAN'T! HIS POWERS ARE
STRONGER THAN MINE.

DAR, DAR...

DAR!

DAR! DAR!

AHH...DAR!

NO!

DAR! NO!

DAR!

HERE...HERE, TAKE IT.

DON'T KID YOURSELF.

YOUR POWERS ARE PATHETIC,
LITTLE ONE.

I COULDN'T LET
YOU MISS THIS ONE.

IT'S ONE OF MY FAVOURITES.

WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS?

WHY DO YOU KEEP TORTURING US?

STILL ASKING WHY?

BUT THIS THING YOU CALL
YOU LIFE HAS VALUE?

THE ELEMENTS OF NATURE
ARE NOT TO BE

TAMPERED WITH BY
CREATURES SUCH AS YOU.

YOU'LL SOON LEARN TO BOW

BEFORE MY POWERS.

AHHH!

AND SO WILL YOU.

[ LAUGHING ]

TAO, I NEED YOU
TO STAY HERE.

I, I HAVE TO HELP YOU.

IT'LL BE SAFER IF YOU STAY HERE.

I'M COMING WITH YOU.

DON'T TRY TO TALK.

THERE ARE STILL SOME ANIMALS
I HAVE TO TAKE TO SHELTER.

I HAVE TO FIND ANNUBIS.

I CAN'T DO ALL
THAT AND WATCH OUT

FOR YOU AT THE SAME TIME.

DO YOU UNDERSTAND?

[ GROANING ]

DAR, DON'T GIVE UP ON ME.

YOU KNOW I WON'T DO THAT.

DON'T FORGET WHO I WAS...

WAS...UGH...

HE'S HARDLY A MAN.

HE'S STILL MY FRIEND.

HE'S LOST, CAN'T YOU SEE THAT?

I NEED YOU TO STAY
AND PROTECT HIM.

DAR, I CAN'T HELP HIM,
AND I CAN'T HELP YOU

OR THIS WORLD ANY LONGER.

BACK TO AN UNDERWATER WORLD
THAT THIS CHAOS DOESN'T TOUCH.

MY OFFER IS STILL OPEN, DAR.

I CAN TAKE YOU WITH ME.

WHY DO YOU RESIST
YOUR OWN SURVIVAL?

BECAUSE RUNNING
IS NOT AN OPTION.

SUCH LOYALTY TO A LOST CAUSE.

CAN'T YOU HEAR WHAT
ANNUBIS IS TELLING YOU?

FOLLOW THE PATH
OF LEAST RESISTANCE.

OBEY THE WILL OF NATURE.

I DON'T UNDERSTAND

WHY YOU CAN'T STAY AND

HELP THE ANIMALS
YOU CLAIM YOU PROTECT.

DAR, I ALREADY
LEARNT MY LESSON.

WHY ARE YOU THE ONLY
ONE THAT RESISTS?

TAO, NO! YOU CAN'T GO
OUT THERE. IT'S NOT SAFE.

THAT'S RIGHT.
I KNOW YOU UNDERSTAND.

I NEED YOU TO SIT DOWN.

YOU'LL BE OK.

YOU'LL BE OK.

NOW I HAVE TO GO...

ALL RIGHT?
BUT I'LL COME BACK.

I PROMISE.

YOU SEE SOME RAY OF HOPE?

IF OUR FRIEND
IS SENSIBLE,

THEY MAY SURVIVE.

YOU'RE TAKING SIDES.

I'M TREADING
THAT FINE LINE

BETWEEN PARTIALITY
AND DETACHMENT.

YOU SAID OUR ROLE IS TO MAKE
SURE CREATION CONTINUED,

AND TO NOT CARE WHICH
INDIVIDUALS SURVIVED.

YES, BUT SOMETIMES
ONE NEEDS

TO USE A LITTLE
INITIATIVE.

IARA...

AND WE THOUGHT

YOU'D GONE HOME.

OH, BY THE WAY, LOVE THE SPEECH.

SAVE HIM.

I NEED YOUR HELP.

SAVE DAR? FROM ANNUBIS?

DON'T PLAY WITH ME.

YOU'RE WASTING YOUR TIME
LOOKING FOR HELP HERE.

IT'S APPARENTLY A SERVICE
WE DON'T PROVIDE.

YOU CLAIM TO BE ALL-KNOWING.

SO YOU MUST KNOW SOME
WAY TO STOP ANNUBIS

DO YOU FEAR FOR THE BEASTMASTER
OR FOR HIS WORLD?

OR HAVE YOU SUDDENLY REALIZED

HOW HEAVY CURUPIRA'S MANTLE
IS TO WEAR?

I'M OVERCOME BY THIS BURDEN
TO HELP ALL LIVING THINGS.

I DIDN'T WANT THIS.

THEN PERHAPS YOU SHOULDN'T
HAVE TAKEN IT.

I WANT TO HELP DAR...

BUT I CANNOT.

I WANT TO SUBMERGE
INTO MY OWN WORLD...

BUT I CANNOT DO THAT EITHER.

I DON'T KNOW WHERE TO START.

START NOWHERE, DO NOTHING.

INVOLVEMENT JUST
BRINGS CONFUSION.

GOOD LUCK.

[ SIGHING ]

IT'S TOO BAD
HE CAN'T BE KILLED.

YOU MUST
FORGIVE HIM.

DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME?

YOU WANT TO SAVE
THE MAN YOU LOVE.

ANYONE CAN UNDERSTAND THAT.

I'VE NE-- I'VE NEVER FELT
LIKE THIS BEFORE.

IT'S AS IF I HAVE NO CHOICE.

ANNUBIS CAN ONLY BE STOPPED
BY THOSE WHO FREED HIM.

DAR AND TAO.

BUT TAO CAN BARELY FUNCTION...

AND IF YOU TAKE DAR
TO SAFETY,

THIS WORLD WILL SURELY DIE.

SHARAK, YOU ALL RIGHT?

THANK YOU FOR FINDING ANNUBIS.

I KNOW HOW YOU CAN DEFEAT HIM.

HE MUST GO BACK INTO
THE ROCK WHERE YOU FOUND HIM.

YOU AND TAO ARE THE ONLY ONES

THAT CAN DO IT, BUT I'LL
STILL BE HERE IF YOU FAIL.

ONLY NOTHING ELSE WILL BE HERE.

YOU TOLD HER A PART
OF WHAT HE NEEDS TO KNOW.

-TECHNICALLY NOT INTERFERING.
-NOT INTERFERING?

MERELY BY EXISTING,
WE'RE INTERFERING.

A WORD FROM ME
GIVES A THOUGHT TO IARA,

GIVES AN ACTION
TO THE BEASTMASTER.

SAYING NOTHING JUST GIVES
HER ANOTHER THOUGHT

AND HIM ANOTHER ACTION.

AND YOU WORKED
THAT ALL OUT

WELL, A GREAT TEACHER INSPIRES
LESSONS HE NEVER TAUGHT.

YOU ALSO DON'T SEEM
THAT UPSET WITH ME.

BUT THE END OF LIFE IS NEAR,
AND YOUR TECHNICALITY

MAY HAVE NOT ENOUGH TIME
TO CAUSE A PROBLEM.

WHY IS GIVING HOPE A PROBLEM?

THIS RULE YOU BLINDLY OBSERVE

CONDEMNS US TO A LIFE
OF ETERNAL FRUSTRATION.

YOU'RE OBVIOUSLY
NOT LISTENING, MY DEAR.

FRUSTRATION IS ONLY FELT WHEN
ONE REALIZES THERE'S AN OPTION.

PLANTING THE SEED THAT BRINGS
ORDER TO CHAOS IS NO SIN...

WHETHER IT SPROUTS IS
STILL THE WILL OF NATURE.

[ LAUGHING ]

WHAT TOOK YOU SO LONG?

I'VE BEEN BUSY!

SAVING LIVES, SO THEY MAY
BE TERRORIZED A LITTLE LONGER?

HOW CONSIDERATE OF YOU.

WHAT'S THE PURPOSE
OF YOUR TERROR?

IT'S A CHANCE TO DEMONSTRATE

HOW PATHETIC YOUR LITTLE
LIVES REALLY ARE.

WHAT'S THE POINT OF MAKING
EVERYTHING BEND BEFORE IT?

IT'S A JOY YOU CAN
NEVER COMPREHEND.

TAKE YOUR CURSE OFF MY FRIEND.

WHY? SO THAT HE MAY
CONTINUE TO PRETEND

THAT HIS PATHETIC LITTLE
LIFE MEANS SOMETHING?

A MOMENT OF CALM, SO THAT
YOU CAN STILL BELIEVE

THERE IS A FUTURE,

A PURPOSE TO
YOUR EXISTENCE.

LIFE IS HERE FOR A PURPOSE.

YES, IT GIVES ME

SOMETHING TO SNUFF OUT.

THE FOURTH AND
FINAL ELEMENT -- EARTH.

KISS IT GOODBYE.

[ GROANING ]

TAO, COME ON, WE'VE GOT
TO GET YOU OUT HERE.

[ BARKING ]

YOU MUST FIND
ANOTHER WAY TO HELP HIM.

SO, WE MEET AT LAST.

WHO ARE YOU?

I'M STILL WORKING ON THAT.

[ SHRIEKING ]

YOUR FRIEND BELONGS
TO ANNUBIS NOW.

HE'S NO LONGER
ONE OF YOUR KIND,

BUT OBVIOUSLY THIS IS NOT
THE TIME FOR SMALL TALK.

LISTEN, I'M TRYING TO FIND--

TRYING WILL NOT SUFFICE TODAY.

YOU MUST NOT LOSE THIS BATTLE.

YES, I'M TRYING
TO GET HIS WEAPON--

THAT IS ONLY HALF THE BATTLE.

YOU MUST REMOVE

HIS POWER AND MAKE SURE
HE NEVER REGAINS IT.

HUMOUR ME FOR A MOMENT.

WHO IS ANNUBIS?

HE'S SOMEONE WHO
CONTROLS THE ELEMENTS.

WHICH ARE?

EARTH, AIR, FIRE, AND WATER.

EARTH BEING OF
PARTICULAR CONCERN

AT THE MOMENT.

YOU SAY THERE ARE FOUR ELEMENTS.

YES.

ARE YOU SURE?

THERE'S A FIFTH?

PERHAPS ONE THAT ANNUBIS
DOES NOT COMMAND BUT YOU DO.

I'M AFRAID HE'S IN NO POSITION
TO HELP YOU NOW.

WHY CAN'T YOU TELL ME?

TELLING YOU WILL NOT
BRING IT FORTH.

IT IS WITHIN YOU AND TAO
AND ALL THAT YOU HOLD DEAR.

[ HOWLING ]

TAO.

TAO...

LOOK AT ME!

I NEED TO KNOW IF
THERE'S A FIFTH ELEMENT.

SOMETHING WE COULD USE

TO FIGHT ANNUBIS.

TAO, I KNOW YOU CAN HEAR ME.

[ SHRIEKING ]

DAR!

WHAT?

[ LAUGHING ]

NO MORE!

TAO, I NEED THE SCEPTRE.

HE CAN'T HELP YOU.

AHA!

MY CERBERUS IS READY.
HE'S MY CREATURE NOW.

AND YOU'RE ABOUT TO LEARN

THE COST OF RESISTANCE.

WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS?

TO TAKE REASON
AWAY FROM YOU.

AND TO FIND A GUARDIAN
FOR THE NEW HELL

THAT WILL SOON ARISE
IN THIS PLACE.

IT'S HIS REWARD
FOR SAVING ME --

TO LIVE HERE FOR ALL TIME.

NO!

[ BARKING ]

YOUR END WILL BE PERFECT,
BEASTMASTER...

TO DIE IN THE JAWS OF YOUR

ONCE LOYAL FRIEND.

A FITTING EPITATH
TO YOUR SPECIES.

[ GROWLING ]

[ BARKING ]

TAO.

ARGH!

TAO, I KNOW YOU'RE IN THERE.

YOU HAVE TO TRY AND REACH ME.

DON'T LISTEN TO HIM.
USE YOUR ANIMAL SENSES.

THEY'LL SAY I'M
NOT THE ENEMY.

TAO?

TRY TO REACH ME.

I DON'T WANT TO HURT YOU.

RIP OUT HIS THROAT!

ATTACK!

WHY WON'T YOU ATTACK?

BECAUSE HE KNOWS
WHAT THE FIFTH ELEMENT IS.

CERBERUS, ATTACK!

THE FIFTH ELEMENT IS LIFE.

IT'S MADE OF THE OTHER FOUR.

BUT THE WHOLE IS GREATER
THAN THE PARTS.

WE'RE THE POWER
THAT CAN DEFEAT YOU.

YOUR POWERS
ARE NO MATCH

FOR MINE!

THE POWER
OF LIFE IS.

HE WON'T, 'CAUSE HE KNOWS THAT
NO MATTER WHAT YOU'VE MADE HIM,

HE'LL STILL BE CLOSER TO
ME THAN HE'LL BE TO YOU.

WE'RE PART OF THE SAME CHAIN.

SOME OF US LIVE IN THE AIR,
SOME IN WATER,

SOME WITHIN THE WARMTH OF FIRE;

WHILE OTHERS WON'T
LEAVE THE EARTH.

BUT NONE OF US ARE HERE
WITHOUT EACH OTHER.

AND TOGETHER WE WILL
ALWAYS OVERCOME.

I CONTROL THE ELEMENTS.

YOU MUST COWER BEFORE ME!

LIFE NEVER COWERS.

THAT'S HOW IT PREVAILS.

[ LAUGHING ]

AND WITHOUT THIS,
YOU'LL HAVE NO POWER AT ALL.

I THINK I SHOULD

TAKE CARE OF THIS,

IN CASE SOME NOSY ARCHEOLOGIST

DECIDES TO DIG IT UP AGAIN.

YOU'RE NO MATCH
FOR THE FIFTH ELEMENT.

BYE-BYE.

LIFE ALWAYS FINDS A WAY.

PERHAPS THAT IS

THE ULTIMATE
INTERFERENCE.

PERHAPS I HAVE TAUGHT YOU WELL,

FINALLY CREATING
A REPLICA OF MYSELF.

LITTLE CHANCE OF THAT.

OH, COME, COME.

PASSIONATE AND OBSTINATE.

WHY, I ALWAYS THOUGHT
I'D BROKEN THE MOULD.

IN FACT, I DID.

I REMEMBER, SORRY ABOUT THAT.

HERE YOU GO.

THANK YOU.

SO, DO YOU REMEMBER
WHAT IT WAS LIKE?

OH, IT WAS FASCINATING.

I HAD ALL OF MY OWN THOUGHTS,

BUT OVERWHELMED
BY THESE ANIMAL URGES.

NOTHING IN THE WORLD
WAS MORE IMPORTANT TO ME.

WHAT URGE WERE YOU FEELING
WHEN YOU WERE THREATENING

TO RIP OUT MY THROAT?

I WAS JUST BEING LOYAL
TO MY MASTER.

AND AFTER YOU'VE
COMMUNICATED WITH ME,

I WAS BEING LOYAL TO MY FRIEND.

OH, I THINK I UNDERSTAND

WHEN YOU COMMUNICATE WITH
THE ANIMALS, DO YOU DO IT

SINGULARLY OR ALL AT ONCE?

IS IT SOME OF THE TIME--

-TAO...
-WHAT?

GOOD TO HEAR YOUR VOICE AGAIN.

I'M KIND OF HAPPY
ABOUT THAT MYSELF.

WHAT IF YOU NEEDED
TO COMMUNICATE WITH ANIMALS--

DO YOU REMEMBER WHAT
HAPPENED THE LAST TIME

YOU WERE THIS CURIOUS?

BUT WHAT IF YOU HAD

THIS BEAUTIFUL LITTLE
CREATURE LIKE THIS ONE?

I JUST WANT TO SAY...
