BeastMaster (1999–2002): Season 2, Episode 4 - Orpheo - full transcript

[ LAUGHING ]

DAR!

DAR WINS IT.

HE'S NOT A HAPPY CAT.

WE HAVE UNTIL THE SUN SETS.

WHAT'S WRONG?

CAN YOU HEAR THAT?

MMM.

IT'S A NEW VOICE.

I HAVEN'T HEARD IT BEFORE.

THAT'S NOT SURPRISING,
NOT TODAY.



TODAY IS A DAY OF CHANGE.

TOMORROW'S THE BEGINNING
OF THE NEW SEASON.

TODAY'S SUN IS AS LOW
AS IT WILL GET IN THE SKY.

THAT'S ALSO A DAY

WHEN SPIRITS WALK THE EARTH

AND CURSES HAVE
THEIR GREATEST POWER.

I DIDN'T THINK YOU BELIEVED
IN SUPERSTITIONS.

I DON'T, BUT THEY MAKE
FOR GREAT STORIES.

I'LL TRY AND THINK
OF THEM BEFORE NIGHTFALL.

WHAT'S HAPPENING?

THEY'RE FRIGHTENED.

OF WHAT?

I DON'T KNOW.

[ SCREAMING ]



WHAT ARE YOU GOING
TO DO ABOUT THIS, DAR?

WHAT'S SHE
DOING HERE?

I'M DEMANDING REVENGE.

WHAT DID THIS?

A BLACK PANTHER.

-ANIMALS KILL TO EAT.
-THIS WASN'T A KILL FOR FOOD.

FIND THIS ANIMAL AND DESTROY IT.

-WELL, THEN, BRING IT TO ME.
-I CAN'T DO THAT.

YOU'LL DO IT OR...

OR YOU'LL NEVER SEE YOUR
LITTLE FRIEND AGAIN.

[ YELLING ]

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...

IARA!

WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

HUNTING, LIKE YOU.

I DON'T HUNT.

THERE'S NO WAY OUT.

INSURANCE, IN CASE DAR DECIDES
HE'S GOT SOMETHING BETTER

TO DO THAN CATCH
THE PANTHER FOR ME.

YOU DON'T KNOW HIM
TOO WELL, THEN, DO YOU?

NO, I DON'T, BUT I'D LIKE TO.

I'D LIKE TO KNOW
EVERYTHING ABOUT HIM.

WHO'S THAT WOMAN HE'S WITH?

-DAR'S WITH A WOMAN?
-BURNISHED COPPER SKIN
AND FEATHERS.

ARINA -- THAT WORRIES HIM

MORE THAN THE
PANTHER HE'S CHASING.

IS SHE A DANGER TO HIM?

NO MORE THAN YOU ARE TO HIM.

YOU'RE THE BEASTMASTER'S
LITTLE FRIEND, NOT MINE.

I OVERHEARD YOUR CONVERSATION
ABOUT THE PANTHER.

I CAN HELP.

BECAUSE A ROGUE ANIMAL LIKE THIS
IS A DANGER TO ALL OF US.

WHY ARE YOU
FOLLOWING ME?

WHY DON'T WE JUST CONCENTRATE
ON FINDING THIS PANTHER?

I THINK WHAT'S MORE IMPORTANT
IS FINDING OUT WHY IT

KILLS FOR PLEASURE
AND NOT FOR FOOD.

WELL, THEN, TWO PAIRS OF EYES

AND TWO SETS OF HANDS
MIGHT BE HELPFUL.

YOU'RE NOT THE ONLY ONE AT HOME
IN THIS FOREST, BEASTMASTER.

WHO WAS THAT
WOMAN IN THE POND?

IARA.

THE SNAKE WAS ONE
OF HER CREATURES.

WELL, HOW DO YOU
KNOW HER SNAKE

DIDN'T ATTACK
THE PANTHER?

BECAUSE IT'S STILL MOVING LIKE
IT'S HUNTING SOMETHING ELSE.

ARINA.

I MUST ADMIT I EXPECTED
YOU A LITTLE SOONER.

I NEED TO KNOW IF
THE BEASTMASTER--

WILL GET RID OF THE PANTHER?

THE PANTHER--

THAT'S NOT A PANTHER.

BUT, THEN, OF COURSE,
YOU KNEW THAT.

JUST AS YOU KNEW IT
WAS A WORTHY RIVAL

WHEN YOU FIRST
SAW ITS HANDIWORK.

CAN THE BEASTMASTER
DRIVE IT AWAY?

THERE'S A LOT MORE TO THIS THAN
EVEN YOU REALIZE, IARA.

THE PANTHER IS
FROM ANOTHER WORLD.

IT DOES THE BIDDING
OF ONE CALLED ORPHEO.

OH, NOW YOU REALLY ARE MEDDLING
IN PLACES YOU SHOULDN'T.

I'M PROTECTING WHAT IS MINE.

THEY DON'T WANT WHAT IS YOURS.

THEY CAN ONLY BE IN
THIS WORLD FOR ONE DAY.

WHEN THE SUN SETS, THEY MUST
RETURN FROM WHENCE THEY CAME,

WHETHER THEY
LIKE IT OR NOT.

YOU'RE SURE?

I SUGGEST YOU ENJOY THEM
FOR WHAT THEY ARE.

QUITE PERFECT,
QUITE BEAUTIFUL TO BEHOLD

FAR MORE INTERESTING
THAN ANY OF YOUR HUMANS.

OH, AND THAT REMINDS ME.

YOU REALLY MUSTN'T KEEP
THE BEASTMASTER'S LITTLE FRIEND.

DONE!

UGH! UGH!

[ CHUCKLING ]

SNAKES...THAT MAKES SENSE.

LET'S GO NOW.

JUMP NOW.

[ GROANING ]

THAT REALLY WASN'T VERY NICE.

YOU ASKED ME TO RELEASE HIM.

YOU DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING
ABOUT WHERE...OR BEING NICE.

I CAMPED HERE LAST NIGHT.

THESE ARE FRESH.

THE PANTHER SPENT
SOME TIME HERE.

IT WENT THAT WAY NOT LONG AGO.

BREAK CAMP.
YOU'RE NOT SAFE HERE.

IT'S SAFE ENOUGH. YOU'RE HERE.

LET'S REST FOR A MOMENT.

THERE'S NO
TIME TO REST.

IARA WON'T LET TAO GO
UNTIL I FIND THIS ANIMAL.

YOU HAVE TO EAT.

WE BOTH DO.

AHEM.

SO THAT'S HOW IT IS.

YOU ONLY GET CLOSE WHEN
THE NIGHT'S COLD

AND THE FIRE'S BURNING LOW.

ACTUALLY, IT WAS

THE OTHER WAY AROUND.

REMEMBER?

LOOK...RIGHT NOW I HAVE TO THINK
ABOUT TAO AND THE PANTHER.

I KNOW, I'M JUST TRYING TO HELP.

YOU STAY HERE AND BREAK CAMP.

I'M GOING TO FOLLOW THE TRACKS.

[ FOOTSTEPS ]

ARINA.

ORPHEO?

IT FEELS SO GOOD TO HOLD YOU.

I'VE DREAMT OF THIS MOMENT
FOR SO LONG.

MMM.

HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE?

SHHH.

I'VE MISSED YOU EVERY
MOMENT WE'VE BEEN APART.

MMM...AND I YOU.

I DON'T UNDERSTAND.

ORPHEO, I THOUGHT YOU WERE DEAD.

WHY WON'T YOU ANSWER ME?

RUH, AH, AM I HAPPY TO SEE YOU.

YES, YES, I'M FOLLOWING,
I'M FOLLOWING.

I HOPE YOU'RE TAKING ME TO DAR.

I GOT A STORY TO TELL HIM.

DID YOU FIND THE PANTHER?

IT'S NOT LIKE ANY PANTHER
I'VE ENCOUNTERED BEFORE.

IS TAO ALL RIGHT?

I'VE ALREADY
LET HIM GO.

WHERE IS HE?

HE DROPPED IN ON A FEW
FRIENDS OF MINE.

I'M SURE HE'LL CATCH UP
WITH YOU SOON.

WHERE'S THE PANTHER NOW?

YOU MUST KNOW MORE
THAN YOU'RE TELLING ME.

THE PANTHER'S NOT
YOUR REAL ENEMY.

YOUR REAL ENEMY IS WITH
YOUR FRIEND, ARINA, RIGHT NOW.

ARINA'S IN DANGER?

YOU FEAR FOR HER;

MEANING YOU CARE FOR HER.

YOU CHOOSE YOUR FRIENDS
TOO QUICKLY, DAR,

AND YOU KNOW YOUR
ENEMIES TOO LATE.

IF ARINA'S IN DANGER,
I HAVE TO HELP HER.

SHE MAY NOT WANT YOUR HELP.

THIS ENEMY IS
NOT WHAT IT SEEMS.

DAR, YOU WOULDN'T
BELIEVE

WHAT HAPPENED TO ME.

IF IT WASN'T FOR RUH,

I WOULDN'T HAVE
FOUND MY WAY BACK.

HE'S SMART ENOUGH TO STAY
AWAY WHEN MAGIC'S INVOLVED.

WHAT KIND OF MAGIC?

HER.

HELLO?

ARINA'S IN DANGER.
WE HAVE TO HURRY.

ARINA? BUT...

YOU'LL REGRET THIS, DAR.

THIS IS NOT SOMETHING
YOU CAN FIGHT.

ORPHEO, THIS CAN'T BE REAL.

I WATCHED YOU DIE.

IS THIS NOT A
BEATING HEART?

DO YOU NOT FEEL BLOOD

RUSHING THROUGH MY VEINS?

I'VE MISSED YOU SO MUCH.

YOU CAN'T IMAGINE HOW
OFTEN I LAY AWAKE

PRAYING FOR YOU TO BE HERE.

THEN OUR PRAYERS
HAVE BEEN ANSWERED.

IT'S AS IF YOU'VE
NEVER BEEN AWAY.

SHHH...

JUST LET ME FEEL YOU AGAINST ME.

MMM...

I LOVE YOU, ORPHEO.

AND I LOVE YOU...MORE THAN EVER.

AND I'VE COME TO TAKE YOU HOME.

SUDDENLY, I WASN'T
IN THE CAVE ANY MORE,

I WAS IN THE MIDDLE
OF THIS PIT OF SNAKES.

SNAKES EVEN YOU
COULDN'T HAVE REASONED WITH.

THEN I HEARD A ROAR;
I THOUGHT IARA

HAD SENT SOME NEW HELL AFTER ME.

I PICKED THIS UP
TO DEFEND MYSELF.

WHAT IS IT?

THORN OF THE MOUNTAIN --
MY UNCLE

SAYS IT HAS THE POWER
TO SLAY EVIL SPIRITS.

I THOUGHT YOU SAID
YOU WEREN'T SUPERSTITIOUS.

I'M NOT, BUT THEY SAY THAT
BAD THINGS HAPPEN IN THREES.

SO FAR, I'VE BEEN TRAPPED
UNDER A POND,

AND THROWN INTO A PIT OF SNAKES.

AND ON DAYS LIKE TODAY,
EVEN THE MOST RATIONAL MAN

STARTS GRASPING
AT STRAWS OR THIS.

WHAT ARE YOU THINKING?

THAT LAST DAY
WE WERE TOGETHER...

IN THE FINAL BATTLE
WITH THE TERRONS.

I SAW YOU FALL.

YES, THE TERRONS THOUGHT
I WAS DEAD TOO,

LIKE ALL OF US.

LIKE ALL OF US?

YOU THOUGHT I WAS DEAD?

AND I KNEW I COULDN'T LIVE
WITHOUT YOU.

I LOOKED FOR YOU EVERYWHERE.

I NEVER STOPPED
LOVING YOU, ARINA.

THOSE FEELINGS
SURVIVE EVERYTHING,

EVEN DEATH.

LOSING YOU BROUGHT ME

THE GREATEST PAIN IN MY LIFE.

BUT YOU'VE BEEN WITH OTHERS.

THE MAN YOU CAME HERE WITH...

I SAW HOW YOU
LOOKED AT HIM.

DO YOU KNOW HOW I FELT
WHEN I THOUGHT...

-YOU MIGHT HAVE BEEN WITH HIM?
-I THOUGHT YOU DIED.

I WASN'T IMPORTANT TO YOU
AS YOU ARE TO ME?

ORPHEO, I WILL NEVER LOVE
ANOTHER MAN THE WAY I LOVED YOU.

"LOVED."

THE WAY I LOVE YOU.

IS HE IMPORTANT TO YOU?

ONLY BECAUSE I HUNT HIM.

YOU FOUND NEW WAYS TO HUNT.

I ONLY LET HIM
WALK AWAY FOR NOW.

I'LL FIND HIM WHEN I NEED HIM.

YOU WON'T NEED HIM.
THERE'S NO ONE ELSE BUT US NOW.

AND I'VE COME TO TAKE YOU HOME.

A NEW HOME, WHERE YOU AND
I WILL LIVE TOGETHER FOREVER.

I DON'T UNDERSTAND.

THERE'S NO TIME.

THE DAY'S ALREADY
STARTED TO DIE.

I KNOW YOU STILL HAVE QUESTIONS.

AND I'LL ANSWER THEM ALL.

BUT IF OUR LOVE MEANS
ANYTHING TO YOU,

WE MUST GO NOW.

[ TAO ]: DAR, YOU STILL HAVEN'T
TOLD ME WHY WE'RE DOING THIS.

WHY DO WE CARE
WHAT HAPPENS TO ARINA?

WHAT HAS SHE EVER
TRIED TO DO FOR US

EXCEPT TRY TO GET US KILLED?

TAO, SHE'S A
HUMAN BEING

THE BLACK PANTHER DISAPPEARED.
MAYBE SHE'S NOT IN DANGER.

BUT SHE IS --
AND IARA SAYS

THE DANGER'S WITH
HER RIGHT NOW.

GREAT, WE'LL HELP
SOMEONE WE DON'T LIKE

BASED ON THE WORD OF SOMEONE
WHO NEVER TELLS US THE TRUTH.

YOU DON'T KNOW THE EVIL
I FELT WHEN

I LOOKED INTO
THAT PANTHER'S EYES.

WAS IT A KIND OF SORCERY?

I DON'T KNOW, BUT IT MADE ME
FRIGHTENED FOR ARINA.

YOU KNOW, I'VE HEARD
STORIES LIKE THIS BEFORE.

BLACK CATS THAT TRAVEL
WITH SPIRITS FROM

THE WORLD BENEATH THE WORLD.

THEY'RE CALLED FAMILIARS.

AN EVIL SERVANT FROM AN EVIL
SPIRIT FROM BEYOND THE GRAVE.

IS THIS ONE OF YOUR "DAY
OF CHANGE" EVIL SPIRIT STORIES?

THEY RETURN TO THE WORLD
OF THE LIVING ON A MISSION.

I DON'T KNOW, BUT APPARENTLY
IT HAS MORE TO DO

WITH ARINA THAN IT DOES WITH US.

THIS IS WHY THE PANTHER

OR IT WAS SENT TO DISTRACT ME
SO ITS MASTER COULD GET TO HER.

NO, DAR, IT DOESN'T CONCERN US.

APPARENTLY IT DOES.

-WHERE ARE WE GOING?
-NOT FAR.

-WILL WE NEED FOOD OR WATER?
-NO!

AND WHEN WE GET THERE, YOU WON'T
WANT FOR FOOD OR DRINK AGAIN.

ORPHEO,

SOMETHING...

I DON'T KNOW ABOUT THIS.

TELL ME SOMETHING.

WHAT COULD BE
BETTER THAN FOR

US TO BE TOGETHER?

LOOK, FROM NOW ON,

I WILL NEVER
LEAVE YOUR SIDE.

IF YOU COULD JUST TELL ME
WHY WE HAVE TO DO THIS TODAY...

ORPHEO, I WOULD GO TO THE ENDS
OF THE WORLD WITH YOU.

BUT IT'S BEEN SO LONG,
AND THERE ARE THINGS HERE

THAT I DON'T UNDERSTAND.

EVERYTHING WILL BE EXPLAINED.

ARINA!

YOU...GET AWAY FROM HER.

DAR, THIS IS ORPHEO,
THE MAN THAT I LOVED, THAT I

-THOUGHT WAS DEAD.
-YOU'RE SURE HE'S NOT DEAD?

WE DON'T HAVE TIME FOR THIS.

THE SUN IS ALREADY LOW
IN THE SKY. WE MUST GO.

YOU TRAVEL WITH
A BLACK PANTHER, ORPHEO?

I SAID...

GET AWAY FROM HER.

ARRRGHHH!

YOU WILL NOT TOUCH HER AGAIN.

YOU'RE NOT TAKING HER AWAY.

GET OUT OF MY WAY.

WHAT ARE YOU?

ORPHEO, NO!

YOU ARE UNWISE
TO COME BETWEEN ORPHEO AND

WHAT IS MOST PRECIOUS TO HIM.

NO, NO.

SPARE HIS LIFE
AND I WILL COME WITH YOU.

ARRRGHHH!

WHY DID YOU DO THAT?

I TOLD YOU
I WOULD COME.

I WANT HIM TO REMEMBER
THE MAN YOU CHOSE TO BE WITH.

THE SUN IS SINKING; WE MUST GO.

SHE'S GOING.

GOOD...AND
GOOD RIDDANCE.

IT ISN'T OVER YET.

WHERE'S HE TAKING HER?

TO THE WORLD BENEATH THE WORLD.

BEFORE SUNSET
IF HE CAN, OTHERWISE...

BUT HE'S DEAD ALREADY.

WHAT MORE CAN HAPPEN TO HIM?

THERE ARE MANY FATES
FAR WORSE THAN DEATH.

WHY, EVEN YOU KNOW THAT.

HMM.

BUT SHE'S NOT DEAD.

AND THAT'S THE
ONLY WAY YOU CAN

ENTER THE WORLD
BENEATH THE WORLD.

I'LL BE QUITE FASCINATED
TO SEE HOW ARINA COPES

WHEN SHE FINDS OUT
THE ARRANGEMENT SHE'S MADE.

[ LAUGHING ]

HOW MANY FINGERS?

THREE.

GOOD.

GONE. MAYBE YOU
SHOULD REST A WHILE.

NO.

DAR, I THINK YOU SHOULD JUST--

NO, IT'S ALL RIGHT.

NEXT TIME HE WILL KILL YOU.

THANKS FOR THE VOTE
OF CONFIDENCE.

LOOK, I PREFER MY FRIENDS ALIVE.

AND WHILE YOU ARE ALIVE,
I DON'T KNOW HOW

YOU CAN FIGHT
SOMEONE WHO'S DEAD.

I'LL HAVE TO TRY, WON'T I?

TAO, HOW DOES
A DEAD MAN DO THIS?

FOR THE TIME HE'S
HERE, HE HAS POWERS.

LOOK, GIVE THIS UP.
YOU CAN'T SAVE HER.

ORPHEO IS
A CREATURE OF THE DEAD.

HE DOESN'T LEAVE
ANY FOOTPRINTS, AND HE HAS

THE STRENGTH OF A DEMON.

EVEN DEMONS HAVE
THEIR WEAKNESSES.

LOOK, I'VE HEARD OF LOVES

SO POWERFUL THEY COMPEL
THE LOVER TO RETURN FROM

THE WORLD BENEATH THE WORLD
IN ORDER TO FIND THEIR BELOVED.

IF THESE TWO HAVE MET
IN THIS WORLD,

THEN THE PULL
FROM THE OTHER SIDE

COULD BE IRRESISTIBLE.

HE'S TAKEN HER WITH HER?

PART OF HER WANTS TO GO.

PART WANTS TO CLING TO LIFE.

SHE ONLY AGREED TO GO
IF HE SPARED YOUR LIFE.

NO, IF HE LOVES HER,
WHY WOULD HE WANT TO KILL HER?

'CAUSE THAT'S THE ONLY WAY
THEY CAN BE TOGETHER.

THE LEGEND SAYS THAT SHE
MUST GO WILLINGLY.

HE MUST GET HER BACK
BEFORE THE SUN SETS.

WE'D BETTER HURRY.

COME ON, THEY'RE FAR AHEAD.

ORPHEO, WE MUST REST.

THERE'S NO TIME.

PLEASE. YOU
LOOK SO TIRED.

I AM TIRED...BUT WE MUST GO ON.

ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?

I TRAVELLED FAR.

I DON'T HAVE MUCH TIME.

HOW MUCH FURTHER?

THE TUNNEL OF TREES...

THEN WE'RE HOME.

I KNOW THOSE TREES.

THERE'S NOTHING
BEYOND THEM BUT WASTELAND.

ONCE WE GET THERE,
EVERYTHING WILL BE EXPLAINED.

ONCE I'M WHERE?

THE WORLD BENEATH THE WORLD.

NO.

YOU AGREED TO COME.

I SPARED HIS LIFE FOR YOU.

THERE'S ONE MORE LIFE
I WISH I COULD SPARE.

YOU STILL HAVEN'T TOLD ME
WHAT ORPHEO WANTS WITH HER.

HER SOUL...GIVEN OF HER OWN
CHOICE AND BY HER OWN HAND.

A DARK LOVE IS A SELFISH
AND TERRIBLE THING.

I TOLD YOU THERE
WAS MORE TO THIS.

BUT YOU COULD MAKE IT HAPPEN.

I CAN'T CHANGE FATE--

OH, BUT I THOUGHT
YOU COULD DO ANYTHING.

WELL, I DO START THINGS.

THEN I LEAVE IT
UP TO THE INDIVIDUAL.

I MUST SAY, I RATHER ENJOY
THE LACK OF RESPONSIBILITY.

UNFORTUNATELY, HUMANS ALWAYS
TEND TO MUDDY THINGS UP

WITH THIS CONFUSING BUSINESS
THEY CALL LOVE.

OF COURSE, THAT WOULDN'T
AFFECT YOU, WOULD IT,

MY DEAR?

STUPID.

IF WE ARE TO BE TOGETHER,
THERE IS NO ALTERNATIVE.

YOU WANT ME TO TAKE MY OWN LIFE?

ORPHEO, NO.

IT IS
THE ONLY WAY.

IT MOCKS EVERY NAMIB
WHO DIED WITH HONOUR.

-THERE ARE NO MORE NAMIB.
-THERE IS ONE!

ARINA...

DEATH IS AN ILLUSION.

MY SOUL IS NOT DEAD.

THERE IS BEAUTY
IN THE ETERNITY OF DEATH.

YOU AND I WILL NEVER GROW OLD.

ARINA, PLEASE,

YOU MUST DECIDE.

MY STRENGTH EBBS WITH THE SUN.

IF YOU DON'T DO THIS SOON,
YOU WILL HAVE GAINED NOTHING

BUT A SHADOW OF WHAT I AM.

TAKE CARE OF THEM.

WHAT DOES IT WANT?

ORPHEO SENT IT TO KEEP US AWAY.

THERE'S NO OTHER CHOICE.
THORN OF THE MOUNTAIN.

-I'D RATHER TRUST MY STAFF.
-NO, DAR.

TRUST THIS,
THIS IS NOT AN ANIMAL.

NO-O-O-O!

[ GROANING ]

THEY JUST KILLED MY PANTHER.

TAO, COME ON.

WE CAN STILL CATCH THEM.

I HAVE SUFFERED
THE FIRES OF HELL...

BECAUSE OF MY LOVE FOR YOU.

IF YOU WON'T COME WILLINGLY
TO EASE MY PAIN...

I LOVED YOU AS NO WOMAN
HAS EVER LOVED ANY MAN...

BUT I DON'T BELONG
IN YOUR WORLD ANY MORE

I'M IN THAT WORLD
BECAUSE OF MY LOVE FOR YOU!

AFTER THAT FINAL BATTLE,

WHEN ALL I COULD SEE
WERE THE DEAD...

I KNEW I COULDN'T
LIVE WITHOUT YOU.

YOU TOOK YOUR OWN LIFE.

I COMMITTED
THE GRAVEST SIN

TO OFFER UP MY SOUL
TO BE WITH YOU.

BUT ALL I GOT WAS TORMENT
BECAUSE YOU WERE NOT THERE.

YOU CAN EASE MY PAIN.

WE WILL BE TOGETHER FOREVER.

MY LOVE FOR YOU HAS ALWAYS
BEEN STRONGER THAN DEATH, ARINA.

I CAN'T DO THIS, ORPHEO.

[ SHOUTING ]

I WON'T LEAVE YOU
HERE TO LOVE ANOTHER.

EITHER WAY, YOU DIE.

HE'S TAKING HER WITH HIM,
BUT SHE'S RESISTING.

UNLESS ARINA DIES BY HER OWN
HAND, THEY CAN'T BE TOGETHER.

SHE DOESN'T WANT TO DIE,
BUT HE'LL TAKE HER ANYWAY.

WE'RE ON TIME...
WE MUST HURRY, ARINA.

THE BEASTMASTER'S COMING.

NOW...

TO CLOUD YOUR THOUGHTS,
BUT YOUR PLACE IS WITH ME.

ORPHEO, PLEASE, DON'T DO THIS.

ORPHEO,

NO!

ORPHEO, DON'T DO THIS.

LOOK AT ME.

REMEMBER HOW
IT WAS WITH US...BEFORE.

YOU ALWAYS TRIED
TO PROTECT ME...

EVEN WHEN IT MEANT
PUTTING YOUR OWN LIFE IN DANGER.

YOU MUST STILL FEEL
THAT SAME WAY,

OTHERWISE, YOU
WOULDN'T HAVE COME FOR ME.

ARINA.

DAR.

YOU PREFER THE LOVE OF ANOTHER.

NO, ORPHEO.

NO LOVE COULD BE
AS IT WAS FOR US.

[ SHOUTING ]

ORPHEO,

DON'T DO THIS.

ARINA.

NO, ORPHEO.

OUR TIME IS PAST.

AS GREAT AS OUR LOVE WAS,

IT WASN'T MEANT TO BE.

FATE DEEMED THAT
IT SHOULD END...

SO IT WOULD NEVER DIE.

DON'T LET ME SPEND ETERNITY
REMEMBERING YOU LIKE THIS.

I WILL WAIT FOR YOU.

I HAVE TO TALK TO ARINA.

GO WITH TAO.

HE'LL FIND YOU SOMETHING TO EAT.

HE WAS A GOOD MAN ONCE.

AND WE TRULY DID
LOVE EACH OTHER.

I DON'T THINK THAT LOVE

LIKE THAT EVER DIES,

EVEN IF THOSE
WHO SHARE IT DO.

YOU KNOW, I HAVE TO
THANK YOU FOR SOMETHING.

YOU OFFERED YOUR LIFE
FOR MINE BEFORE.

I'LL NEVER FORGET THAT.

DEBT'S BEEN PAID.

WE'RE EVEN.

AND THERE IS ONE MORE THING.

YOU PROMISED TO TELL ME
WHY YOU'VE BEEN FOLLOWING ME.

DID I SAY THAT?

YEAH, YOU DID.

HMPH.

ANOTHER TIME.

CLEVER GIRL.

WHY DID SHE LET HIM GO AGAIN?

SHE'S HUNTING HIM, ISN'T SHE?

OH, AFTER A FASHION.

I DON'T UNDERSTAND.

OF COURSE YOU DON'T.

HUMANS AREN'T LIKE US
IN LIFE OR DEATH.

BUT SOMETIMES, IN LOVE,
THERE'S A CERTAIN GRACE

I, MYSELF, TAKE MORE PRIDE
IN THE ART OF MANIPULATION

AND HAVE GREAT RESPECT
FOR THOSE WHO PRACTICE IT.

ISN'T IT TIME YOU
GOT BACK TO YOUR SWAMP?

I LIKE IT HERE.

AND I DON'T TRUST THAT WOMAN.

SHE'S GOT PLANS
FOR MY BEASTMASTER.

YOUR BEASTMASTER?

THEN PERHAPS YOU
SHOULD TRY A FRESH APPROACH.

OH...

ONE THAT MIGHT

INVOLVE THE POWER OF LETTING GO.

CAN I ASK YOU A QUESTION?

ASK AWAY.

THAT STORY YOU TOLD ME

ABOUT THE THORN OF
THE MOUNTAIN, WAS IT TRUE?

TAO, YOU'RE A MAN OF REASON,
AND NOW YOU'RE TELLING ME

YOU ENTRUST OUR LIVES
WITH SUPERSTITION?

YOU DIDN'T FIND IT STRANGE
THAT THE THORN WAS REAL,

BUT IT WAS MEANT TO DEAL
WITH A CREATURE

THAT NEVER REALLY EXISTED?

I TRAVEL WITH A MAN WHO

TALKS WITH ANIMALS.

I'VE SEEN WIZARDS
AND DEMONS, AND...

I'VE JUST COME
TO ACCEPT THAT

THERE ARE MANY
THINGS BETWEEN

HEAVEN AND EARTH
THAT NO MAN

CAN EVER UNDERSTAND.

YOU NEVER CEASE TO AMAZE ME.
