BeastMaster (1999–2002): Season 2, Episode 7 - Rage - full transcript

THESE ARE TIMES THAT TRY
OUR VERY SOULS.

TIMES OF CHANGE...

TIMES OF BETRAYAL...

WHEN THE WORLD'S MAGNIFICENT
CAPACITY FOR MALICE,

MADNESS, FOLLY,

ENVY AND DESTRUCTION

PUT ALL LIFE OUT OF BALANCE...

AND ALL NATURE OUT OF PLACE...

WHEN THOUGHTLESS INTRUSION
CAUSES GREATER PAIN,

THERE IS NO ALTERNATIVE
BUT ANGER...

NO SOLUTION BUT RAGE!



I'VE BEEN THINKING ABOUT
THE NATURE OF HEALING.

YOU SEE, A SORE STOMACH,

ACHING HEAD, SORE MUSCLES.
EVEN ITCHING.

THESE HERBS CAN CURE
ALL OF THAT.

BUT WHAT CURES
THE ACHES AND PAINS

BROUGHT ON BY OUR EMOTIONS
AND BY OUR HEART?

FRIENDS HELP.

TALKING TO PEOPLE,

AND ANIMALS YOU TRUST.

EXACTLY.

WE'RE THINKING THE SAME THING.

IF A SNAKE BITES YOU,
YOU USE THE YELLOW HERB

TO DRAW OUT THE POISON, WHEN
THE POISON'S GONE, YOU HEAL.

WITH AN EMOTIONAL PAIN,
IT'S TALKING



THAT DRAWS OUT THE POISON.

TALKING WITH FRIENDS
AND PEOPLE WE TRUST.

I GUESS ANIMALS, IN YOUR CASE,
WOULD BE INCLUDED.

SOMETHING'S HAPPENING
IN XINCA.

SOMEBODY'S HAVING SOME FUN.

WE SHOULD GO TAKE A LOOK.

BEASTMASTER.

VODEN.

YOU MAY SHEATH YOUR WEAPON.

YOU AND YOUR EIRON FRIEND
ARE SAFE WITHIN THE CITY.

IT'S TAO, IS IT NOT?

I'M TOLD YOU'RE A MAN
OF WISDOM AND HEALING.

JUST NOT WISE ENOUGH
TO STAY AWAY FROM HERE.

HA! HA! I LIKE A MAN OF WIT.

MY PRESENT COMPANY
DON'T OFTEN EXCEL

IN THE ART OF CONVERSATION.

I'LL LEAVE YOU TO YOUR BUSINESS.
PERHAPS LATER, WE'LL TALK?

WHO WANTS TO BE NEXT?

THERE MUST BE OTHERS IN XINCA
WHO'D LIKE TO TEST THEIR SKILLS!

AND THE PURPOSE OF THIS TEST?

SIMPLY THE JOY OF SPORT.

JOY OF SPORT? THAT'S ALL?

WELL IF MY PERFORMANCE IS GOOD,

YOU'RE WELCOME TO
SHOW YOUR APPRECIATION.

I'LL GLADLY ACCEPT
FOOD AND DRINK.

CARE TO COMPETE?

NO. I DON'T
COMPETE THAT WAY.

WHAT ABOUT THIS ONE HERE?

HE LOOKS LIKE A FIGHTER.

YOU LOOK LIKE A WORTHY OPPONENT.

WELL, THAT MAY BE, BUT...
I DON'T FIGHT FOR FUN.

IT WOULD REALLY GIVE THEM A
SHOW. SURE I CAN'T CONVINCE YOU?

I THINK I CAN.

SORRY.

NOT TODAY.

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...

SO WHAT ARE
YOU GONNA DO?

SELF-CONTROL IS THE
MASTER OF ABILITY.

MAKE A MAN LOSE HIS CONTROL
AND YOU BECOME THE MASTER.

WATCH.

VERY GOOD.

YOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN
FIGHTING ME...

NOT YOURSELF.

[ GROWLING ]

[ GROWLING ]

-YOU ALL RIGHT?
-DID YOU SEE THAT?

WHAT I SAW
WAS IMPOSSIBLE.

-WHAT I HEARD WAS IMPOSSIBLE.
-WHAT?

I'M GOING AFTER HIM.

DAR.

I'VE WARNED YOU.

ANCIENT ONE. YOU LOOK ANGRY.

RUNNING OUT OF PATIENCE WOULD
BE A MORE EXACT DESCRIPTION.

WHY?

BECAUSE CERTAIN CHILDREN
FAIL TO LISTEN.

I AM NOT A CHILD.

YOU ACT LIKE ONE.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN.

YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHAT I MEAN.

HUMAN AFFAIRS
AND THEIR PIDDLING EMOTIONS

ARE NONE OF YOUR CONCERN.

I-I DON'T--

OH...PERHAPS YOU
FORGET WHO I AM?

WHEN I CHOOSE,

I CAN THINK WHAT YOU THINK,

KNOW WHAT YOU KNOW,
AND SEE WHAT YOU SEE.

SO I SUGGEST YOU FORGET
ALL OF THE ABOVE

IN RESPECT TO WHAT
YOU'VE JUST SEEN IN XINCA.

YOU'RE A HYPOCRITE.

YOU DON'T PRACTICE
WHAT YOU PREACH.

AND YOU'RE STEPPING VERY CLOSE
TO THE EDGE, MY DEAR.

YOU MUST HAVE SOME INTEREST
IN THAT BOY

OR YOU WOULD NEVER BE
THIS ANGRY.

IF YOU FALL, IT'S FOREVER.

DO YOU KNOW HOW
LONG THAT IS?

NO. TELL ME.

ABOUT THE BOY...OR FOREVER?

THEY BOTH TAKE YOU SOMEWHERE
YOU DON'T WANT TO GO.

AMBIGUITIES, RIDDLES,
SILLY PROVERBS.

THAT'S ALL YOU EVER SAY.

NEVER THE TRUTH ABOUT ANYTHING.

YOU NEVER MEANT TO TEACH ME
ABOUT YOUR WORLD.

ONLY TEASE ME AND CONTROL ME.

ENOUGH!

FOOLS TALK. THE WISE LISTEN.

TAKE THAT ADVICE. AND FORGET.

SILK.

THE FINEST.

IT'S ALWAYS BEEN YOUR FAVOURITE.

IT LOOKS QUITE GOOD.

IT BRINGS OUT THE
COLOUR IN YOUR FACE.

I MISS THAT.

I CAN'T IMPRESS YOU?

NOT EVEN A BIT?

COLD.

EVEN THOUGH
THE COLOURS ARE WARM.

I WANT TO SEE YOU SMILE.

IS THAT ASKING TOO MUCH?

PLEASE?

I DON'T UNDERSTAND YOUR ANGER.

I'VE DONE NOTHING.

CERTAINLY NOTHING TO YOU.

ANGER IS A POISON. IT DESTROYS.

IT'S WHAT'S MAKING YOU SICK.

THAT UPSETS ME.

I JUST WANT TO MAKE YOU HAPPY.

THAT'S ALL I WANT...

MOTHER.

[ GROWLING ]

I ONLY BECOME THE PUMA WHEN...

WHEN I'M ANGRY.

VERY ANGRY.

YOU WERE VERY ANGRY IN XINCA.

NO, I WAS ANGRY AT MYSELF.

IT FELT LIKE YOU WERE
ANGRY AT ME.

I'M SORRY.

NO NEED.

I DON'T LIKE TO FIGHT.
NOT LIKE THAT.

SO WHY DO YOU DO IT?

IT'S A WAY TO GET RID
OF THE ANGER FROM INSIDE.

BEFORE...

WELL, SO I DON'T DO
ANYTHING REALLY BAD.

YOU SEE, I'VE THIS FRIEND
WHO HAS AN IDEA

THAT YOU CAN GET RID OF BAD
EMOTIONS BY TALKING.

ALL RIGHT.

YOU SAY THAT WHEN YOU CHANGE
INTO THE CAT,

IT'S BECAUSE YOU'RE ANGRY.

BUT THAT'S NOT NATURAL.

SO DO YOU KNOW WHY
IT REALLY HAPPENS?

YES.

AND I HATE IT.

I'M A MAN. NOT SOME WILD ANIMAL.

IT WAS UNFAIR!

SOME DAY, I'LL RIGHT THE WRONG.

THANK YOU FOR THE TALK.

MAYBE YOUR FRIEND'S IDEA
IS A GOOD ONE.

DON'T! AND DON'T FOLLOW ME.

YOU DON'T TRUST ME.

I DO. BUT THIS IS NONE
OF YOUR CONCERN.

YOU KNOW THAT THERE--

NO.

[ SORCERESS ]: LET'S TURN
BACK THE HANDS OF TIME.

[ ANCIENT ONE ]:
I'VE WARNED YOU.

YOU'RE BECOMING QUITE THE SPARK.

DEATH. IT'S COMING FOR YOU.

[ ANCIENT ONE ]: MEDDLING
IN MY AFFAIRS AGAIN.

[ SORCERESS ]: ALL IN GOOD TIME.

[ ANCIENT ONE ]: BECAUSE
CERTAIN CHILDREN FAIL TO LISTEN.

WE CAN OVERTHROW HIM, SHARAK.

[ ANCIENT ONE ]: IF YOU PLAY
WITH FIRE, YOU'LL GET BURNT.

IF YOU FALL, IT'S FOREVER.

DON'T MOVE.

ONE SMALL FAVOUR.

YOU'LL BE FREE.

AND SOMEONE ELSE

WILL CAPTIVE BE.

FOREVER.

YOU'RE SURE? ABSOLUTELY SURE?

YES.

IT WAS BAHKTIAR?

THEN WHY DIDN'T YOU TAKE HIM
AND BRING HIM TO ME?

WHEN HE RAN OFF,

THE BEASTMASTER
WENT AFTER HIM.

THEY CAN'T BE FAR.

I CAN FIND
THEM QUICKLY.

BUT...I WANT ONE OF THEM
ALIVE AND ONE OF THEM DEAD.

TO BE SAFE, I HAVE
A BETTER IDEA.

YOU ALWAYS DO.

YES.

THIS IS VERY INTERESTING.
YOU SHOULD LOOK AT THIS.

HAVE YOU NOTICED HOW THE
SUN IS CASTING A SHADOW

ACROSS THIS PLATE HERE?

WELL, THIS SHADOW IS MOVING
SLOWLY THE WHOLE TIME.

I COULD MEASURE FROM...

KING VODEN.

I KNEW I SHOULD HAVE COME ALONE.

ALL THESE SOLDIERS.

GIVES PEOPLE THE
WRONG IMPRESSION.

NOT TODAY -- BECAUSE TODAY,
I'M NOT COMING TO YOU AS A KING,

SIMPLY AS A MAN, A HUMBLE MAN,

WHO WOULD LIKE
TO ASK FOR YOUR HELP.

MANY HEALERS
HAVE TRIED

AND FAILED TO
HELP MY MOTHER.

HERBS, POTIONS,
SPELLS.

ALL KINDS
OF MEDICINES.

BUT NOTHING
SEEMS TO WORK.

MAYBE THE PROBLEM
ISN'T PHYSICAL.

I'VE OFTEN
THOUGHT THAT.

BUT THEN, WHAT
COULD IT BE?

WELL, EMOTIONAL, PSYCHOLOGICAL.

DOES SHE SEEM ANGRY OR AFRAID?

SHE DOES SEEM ANGRY
AND PERHAPS AFRAID,

BUT HOW TO TELL?

SHE'S GIVEN UP
ON TALKING.

BE THE SIGN THAT
THE PROBLEM ISN'T PHYSICAL.

YOU KNOW, MAYBE SHE'S
BOTTLING SOMETHING UP INSIDE.

SOMETHING SHE'S
AFRAID TO TALK ABOUT.

YOU HAVE THE
REPUTATION

OF BEING A VERY

KNOWLEDGEABLE MAN,
I CAN SEE WHY.

YOU COULDN'T HELP
MY MOTHER TO TALK?

HEAL HER?

I DON'T KNOW IF
I CAN HEAL ANYONE,

BUT, UH...I'VE BEEN
THINKING THAT IF SOMEONE

HAS AN EMOTIONAL PROBLEM,
IF THAT'S WHAT THIS IS,

THEN TALKING WITH SOMEONE
THAT YOU TRUST CAN HELP.

NATURALLY, THE TRICK IS TO GET

THAT PERSON TO TALK --
HAVE YOU TRIED?

OF COURSE, BUT I'M JUST A SIMPLE
BOY WHO HAPPENS TO BE KING.

I DON'T SUPPOSE YOU COULD
TALK TO MY POOR MOTHER?

-I'D BE GLAD TO.
-YOU WOULD?
-OF COURSE.

IT MIGHT HELP HER AND I COULD
TRY OUT SOME OF MY THEORIES.

THAT WOULD BE WONDERFUL.

YOUR SON, KING VODEN,
TELLS ME YOU'VE BEEN SICK.

HE'S WORRIED ABOUT YOU --
HE'S WONDERING

IF I MIGHT BE ABLE TO HELP.

I HAVE THIS THEORY THAT...

WHEN AN ILLNESS DOESN'T
APPEAR TO BE PHYSICAL,

WHICH SEEMS TO BE THE CASE HERE,

THEN PERHAPS
THE PROBLEM IS EMOTIONAL.

I THINK THAT...

IF PEOPLE COULD TALK TO ONE
ANOTHER ABOUT THEIR FEELINGS,

THAT MAYBE IT'D HELP.

IT MIGHT BE THE CURE
THAT YOU'RE LOOKING FOR.

YOU WANT TO TELL ME WHAT
YOU'RE FEELING RIGHT NOW?

[ SIGHING ]

WHERE TO START?

I FEEL SO MANY THINGS.

SORROW, FEAR, RAGE.

AND WHAT ARE YOU THINKING ABOUT
WHEN YOU FEEL THESE THINGS?

MY SON.

I'M ALWAYS THINKING ABOUT HIM.

AND WHAT ARE YOU
THINKING ABOUT HIM?

HIS GENTLE MANNER,

HIS KIND HEART.

WELL, THAT'S...

A SIDE THAT ONLY
A MOTHER COULD SEE.

THESE ARE GOOD QUALITIES.

WHY WOULD THEY MAKE YOU SAD?

BECAUSE THEY'LL BE
THE DEATH OF HIM.

THAT'S WHY
I'M AFRAID

AND SO VERY, VERY ANGRY.

WHEN I THINK ABOUT
WHAT HAPPENED--

WHY DOES GOOD COUNT FOR NOTHING
AND EVIL FOR SO MUCH?

YOU'RE TALKING!
THIS IS WONDERFUL.

NOW AREN'T YOU GLAD
YOU DECIDED TO COME MEET TAO?

I DID NOT
DECIDE ANYTHING.

YOU HAD YOUR

WARRIORS BRING ME HERE.

NOT AS MUCH PROGRESS
AS I'D HOPED.

I WANT TO TALK TO YOU...
IN PRIVATE.

I'D LIKE TO COME.
I FEEL WE'RE MAKING PROGRESS.

THESE THINGS OFTEN TAKE
A LITTLE BIT OF TIME TO...

YOU WAIT HERE.

IF I NEED YOU, YOU'LL
BE THE FIRST TO KNOW.

WAIT.

THIS IS FAR ENOUGH.

I HAVE NEWS FOR YOU, MOTHER.

NEWS I'D RATHER NOT
SHARE WITH STRANGERS

SUCH AS TAO -- WE'VE

FOUND YOUR GOLDEN BOY.

AND IT'S ONLY A
MATTER OF TIME

BEFORE HE'S PERSUADED
TO RETURN TO US.

[ GROWLING ]

WHAT IS THIS ANIMAL...

SO ANGRY?

WHY DOES IT LOOK AT ME
SO STRANGELY?

WHAT DOES IT WANT?

IF IT COMES ANY CLOSER, KILL IT!

QUICKLY, BACK TO XINCA.

I SAW WHAT HAPPENED!

I'M NOT WITH THE NORDS...
OR KING VODEN.

I THINK I CAN HELP YOU.

BUT FIRST,
YOU HAVE TO LET ME TRY.

WHY DO YOU THINK
YOU CAN HELP ME?

BECAUSE I'VE SEEN YOUR RAGE.

AND I KNOW WHO CAUSES IT.

BUT WHAT YOU HAVE
TO DO IS TELL ME WHY.

MAYBE WE SHOULD
START WITH NAMES.

I'M CALLED DAR.

I'M BAHKTIAR.

ONCE, A LONG TIME AGO,
I WAS PRINCE BAHKTIAR.

I WANTED TO TALK TO
HER MYSELF, BUT WE WERE...

I THINK IT'S BETTER
SHE SPEAK WITH YOU.

YOU CAN'T HELP ME.
NO ONE CAN HELP ME.

I'D LIKE TO TRY.

I DON'T DESERVE YOUR KINDNESS.

EVERYONE DESERVES
KINDNESS.

WHAT I HAVE DONE IS SO TERRIBLE.

I WILL HAVE TO LIVE
WITH THE SHAME

OF THAT FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE.

I AM A PRISONER,
NOT JUST THE PRISONER

OF MY SON AND HIS GUARDS.

I AM A PRISONER OF MY HEART,
FOR WHAT I DID.

PLEASE, GO ON.

VODEN IS NOT MY ONLY CHILD.

I HAD...

I MEAN, I HAVE ANOTHER SON.

A LOVELY BOY.

HIS NAME IS BAHKTIAR.

THE WOMAN YOU SAW, THE ONE

BEING HELD BY THE NORDS,
IS MY MOTHER, MARGRET.

YOUR MOTHER?

THAT MEANS
THAT VODEN...

IS MY BROTHER.

YOU'RE RIGHT.

HE PROVOKES THE
WORST OF MY ANGER.

BUT I COULDN'T ATTACK HIM.

-NOT IN FRONT OF OUR MOTHER.
-WHEN THEY WERE YOUNG BOYS,

BAHKTIAR WAS VERY ATHLETIC.

THE GIRLS LIKED HIM.

VODEN WAS JEALOUS.

AND HIS JEALOUSY GREW
INTO DECEIT AND WICKEDNESS.

-I'VE SEEN IT HAPPEN.
-CHILDREN OFTEN OUTGROW IT.

BUT VODEN WAS NEVER
REALLY A CHILD.

AT LEAST, NOT HERE.

HE ALWAYS THOUGHT LIKE AN ADULT,

BUT WITH THE EMOTIONS
OF A CHILD.

DANGEROUS COMBINATION.

AND HE GREW INTO
A VERY CRUEL YOUNG MAN...

WHICH IS WHAT HE IS TODAY.

AT FIRST, IT WAS SILLY THINGS,
THEN IT GREW INTO OTHER THINGS.

AND LIES.

TO MY MOTHER, THEN TO OTHERS
HE WOULD ACCUSE ME OF STEALING.

KILLING OTHER PEOPLE'S ANIMALS.

BEATING OTHER BOYS AND WORSE.

I KNEW HE WAS JEALOUS OF ME.

AND HE KNEW HIS LIES
MADE ME VERY ANGRY.

THEN ONE DAY, WE HAD A FIGHT.

IT WAS TERRIBLE.

I BEAT HIM BADLY.

I KNEW I SHOULD HAVE STOPPED,

BUT I COULDN'T CONTROL THE
RAGE THAT WAS INSIDE OF ME.

IT DIDN'T TEACH VODEN A LESSON?

NO.

IN FACT, HE ENJOYED IT.

VODEN WAS VERY CLEVER,

IN AN EVIL WAY.

HE KNEW THE MORE HIS
BROTHER BEAT HIM,

THE WORSE IT MADE BAHKTIAR LOOK
IN THE EYES OF OTHERS.

TO SEE ONE BROTHER
SET AGAINST THE OTHER.

IT WAS.

BUT IT WAS BAHKTIAR
WHO SUFFERED THE MOST.

HE WAS BESIDE HIMSELF
WITH GUILT, REMORSE.

HE BEGGED VODEN'S FORGIVENESS.

WHAT DID VODEN DO?

HE LAUGHED.

HE'D WON, YOU SEE.

I WANTED TO
LOVE MY BROTHER.

BUT HOW DO YOU LOVE SOMEONE
WHO DOESN'T HAVE A HEART?

I KNEW THAT ONE DAY,

I WOULDN'T JUST BEAT HIM.

I'D KILL HIM.

HE WAS IN
SUCH DESPAIR.

THE RAGE WAS POISONING HIM.

SO I CALLED ON A SORCERER
THAT I KNEW FOR HELP.

AN OLDER MAN.

NOT VERY PLEASANT, BUT WE...

KNEW EACH OTHER.

HE SAID THERE WOULD
BE TWO CONDITIONS.

I HAD TO SEND BAHKTIAR AWAY,

AND I HAD TO ACCEPT THE FACT
I MIGHT NEVER SEE HIM AGAIN.

HE SAID BAHKTIAR FEARED
HIS OWN RAGE.

SO HE PUT A CURSE ON HIM.

WHENEVER THE RAGE
WELLS UP INSIDE HIM,

THE CURSE TAKES OVER.

DOES VODEN KNOW THIS?

NO.

HE ASKED YOU TO
TALK TO ME BECAUSE

HE THINKS I KNOW
WHERE BAHKTIAR IS.

DO YOU?

BUT I THINK IF VODEN FINDS HIM,
HE WILL KILL US BOTH.

WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO NOW?

FREE MY MOTHER.

BUT I CAN'T HELP HER
AS AN ANIMAL.

I HAVE TO DO IT AS A MAN.

SO YOU SHALL...
AND NEVER MORE A PUMA BE.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

MORE TO THE POINT.
WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN DOING?

MEDDLING IN MY AFFAIRS AGAIN?

CHANGING THE PUMA INTO THE BOY?

AS A FAVOR.

SO THE BEASTMASTER WOULD
KNOW WHO HE IS AND...

BE ABLE TO HELP HIM.

HAVE YOU MADE HIM A PUMA AGAIN?

I'VE REMOVED THE CURSE
FROM HIM PERMANENTLY.

YES, YOU'RE RIGHT.

I AM THE SORCERER QUEEN MARGRET
CAME TO, IN HER TIME OF NEED.

SO ALL THE LECTURES
YOU GAVE ME...

THE DIRE WARNINGS NOT TO MEDDLE

IN THE PIDDLING EMOTIONS
OF HUMAN BEINGS--

SEEMS HYPOCRITICAL TO YOU?

YES, YES, IT DOES.

YOU SAY ONE THING
AND YET DO ANOTHER.

IT NEVER
OCCURRED TO YOU

THAT I MIGHT BE TRYING TO SAVE
YOU FROM REPEATING MY MISTAKE?

MY ONE ERROR IN AN OTHERWISE
PERFECT RECORD?

YOU ADMIT TO MAKING A MISTAKE?

WHAT, IS THIS THE DAY
THAT HELL FREEZES OVER?

IN A CERTAIN SENSE.

I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE AMUSING
TO...FALL IN LOVE.

TO TRY TO UNDERSTAND
WHAT MADE HUMANS

LOSE ALL SENSE OF PROPORTION.

OR RATIONALITY.

AND TO OTHERWISE
ACT LIKE IDIOTS.

YOU WERE IN LOVE
WITH QUEEN MARGRET?

I WAS.

AND IT WAS EVERYTHING
I SUSPECTED.

WHAT HAPPENED?

SHE WAS A WIDOW
WITH TWO YOUNG SONS,

TRYING TO RULE UNTIL THE
ELDEST COULD TAKE OVER.

OUR RELATIONSHIP
DIDN'T LAST LONG.

SHE FELT IT WAS INAPPROPRIATE.

SHE SENT ME AWAY.

HMM, THE REJECTED LOVER.

HOW TRAGIC.

SHE CAME TO ME YEARS LATER,
NEEDING HELP FOR BAHKTIAR.

I KNEW I SHOULDN'T BECOME
INVOLVED AGAIN, BUT I DID.

LOVE WAS STILL STRANGLING
MY RATIONALE.

IT'S...

IT'S INSIDIOUS THE WAY IT...

I DON'T UNDERSTAND.

THAT'S ALWAYS BEEN
YOUR PROBLEM.

NO, I MEAN--

YOU MEAN...WHY AM I

OPENING UP MY HEART
TO YOU IN THIS FASHION?

I THINK YOU DO UNDERSTAND.

BECAUSE...

IT DOESN'T MATTER NOW.

YOU SEE, IT'S ONE
OF THE LAST THINGS

YOU'LL EVER UNDERSTAND.

SO I'M TO BE PUNISHED
FOR THE SAME MISTAKE

YOU JUST CONFESSED
TO MAKING YOURSELF?

MY WORST MISTAKE WAS TO
GIVE YOU SO MANY CHANCES.

FAR TOO MANY.

IT'S CLEAR YOU'LL NEVER CHANGE.

I'VE FAILED WITH YOU.

DON'T BE SO HARD
ON YOURSELF, OLD MAN.

OH, INSOLENT AND
IRREVERENT TO THE LAST.

YOU REALLY
DON'T UNDERSTAND.

NO, YOU'RE THE ONE
WHO DOESN'T UNDERSTAND.

ALL THIS TIME, YOU SAY YOU'VE
BEEN TEACHING ME AND YOU HAVE.

BUT WHAT I'VE LEARNED
IS TO VALUE THOSE THINGS

THAT YOU WOULD HAVE ME BELIEVE

LIKE HUMAN EMOTIONS,
LOVE AND JOY AND HOPE.

WHAT OF DESPAIR,
SORROW AND PAIN?

YES, YES, THOSE TWO FEELINGS.

THEY'RE ALL THAT REALLY MATTER.

UNLESS YOU FEEL, WHAT IS THERE?

MORE THAN YOU'LL EVER KNOW.

YOU'RE AFRAID OF FEELINGS.

YOU TRIED THEM ONCE.

COULDN'T CONTROL THE OUTCOME
AND YOU GOT HURT,

SO YOU RUN FROM THEM.

FOR ALL YOUR KNOWLEDGE

AND ALL YOUR POWER...

YOU'RE A COWARD.

I COULD ARGUE WITH YOU,
BUT YOU'RE TOO HUMAN

TO UNDERSTAND.

NO!

I GIVE YOU FOREVER

TO CONTEMPLATE
YOUR LIMITATIONS.

WE ARE OF NO FURTHER
USE TO ONE ANOTHER.

GOODBYE, MY LITTLE LOVELY.

MY FRIENDS WILL HELP US.
WE SHOULD HURRY.

BEFORE WE GET THERE,

REGARDLESS OF
WHAT HAPPENS,

I WANT TO THANK YOU.

-KEEP A GOOD EYE.
-BROTHER!

GO, GET SOME OF THE
OTHER MEN QUICKLY.

BAHKTIAR.

IT'S BEEN A VERY LONG TIME.

I'VE COME FOR MY MOTHER.

REALLY? AND NO OTHER GREETINGS
AFTER ALL THESE YEARS?

YOU DISAPPOINT ME.

I HAVE NO GREETINGS
FOR YOU, VODEN.

AND YOU WON'T HAVE
OUR MOTHER, EITHER.

YOU THOUGHT IT
WOULD BE THAT SIMPLE --

COME TO ME, ASK AND WALK AWAY?

YOU KEEP HER A PRISONER.

SHE ISN'T WELL.

THE PRICE OF HAVING SUCH A SON.

WATCH YOUR TONGUE, BROTHER.

OR I'LL CUT IT OUT.

IT WOULD BE A SHAME; I WANT
TO HEAR YOU BEG FOR YOUR LIFE.

LIKE I BEGGED, WHEN
YOU USED TO BEAT ME.

DO YOU REMEMBER?

WHERE'S THAT BOY NOW?

THE FIGHTER, THE ATHLETE.

THE ONE EVERYBODY THOUGHT
WAS A GIFT FROM THE HEAVENS.

WHERE IS HE NOW, BAHKTIAR?

QUICKLY! VODEN WANTS US!

NOW, IN THE MARKETPLACE.

YOU TWO, STAY THERE!

COME WITH ME!

WHAT'S WRONG?

HURRY!

HEY!

WELL, THIS ISN'T
VERY FAIR, IS IT?

YOU'VE GOT THAT

BIG, METAL KNIFE
AND I'VE JUST GOT...

MY FRIEND.

DON'T BE AFRAID,
DON'T BE AFRAID.

I'M NOT GOING TO HURT YOU.

-BAHKTIAR IS HERE.
-BAHKTIAR.

WE WILL TAKE YOU TO WHERE
WE'RE GOING TO MEET.

NO, HE'LL PROTECT YOU,
I PROMISE.

TRUST ME.

THANK YOU.

I WANT THE PLEASURE OF MY
BROTHER'S DEATH IN PRIVATE.

I WON'T FIGHT YOU, BUT NO
ONE'S TAKING ME ANYWHERE.

YOUR MOTHER'S SAFE.
WE SHOULD HURRY.

BEASTMASTER!

YOU'RE A VERY DANGEROUS MAN.

BUT IN MY OWN WAY, SO AM I.

CONSIDER YOUR OPTIONS,
BEASTMASTER.

CONSIDER THEM CAREFULLY.

I HAVE TO GET MY FRIEND BACK.

NO. YOUR MOTHER IS WAITING
FOR YOU IN THE FOREST.

SHE NEEDS YOU.

VODEN, MAYBE WE CAN
TALK ABOUT THIS.

THERE'S NOTHING TO TALK ABOUT.

EITHER HE BRINGS THEM
BACK OR YOU'RE DEAD.

THAT CERTAINLY
ISN'T VERY FAIR.

IT IS FAIR IN MY WORLD.

BEASTMASTER.

I'M A DANGEROUS MAN,
VODEN. REMEMBER?

SEE, YOU'D DO WELL TO
KEEP OUT OF HIS WAY.

MOTHER!

BAHKTIAR...

AH, I MISSED YOU SO MUCH.

LET ME LOOK AT YOU.

CAN YOU FORGIVE ME?

[ CRYING ]

YOU'RE LETTING HIM
GET AWAY WITH THIS.

FOR NOW.

I HAVE TO REMEMBER

WHAT I REALLY WANT
FROM THIS BEASTMASTER.

I WILL NEVER FORGET YOU, TAO.

NEVER FORGET WHAT YOU
HAVE DONE FOR ME,

FOR US.

WE'LL BE SAFE IN THE DOWNS.

WE HAVE FRIENDS THERE.

DON'T FORGET, YOU'LL ALWAYS
HAVE FRIENDS HERE TOO.

WELL, I WAS RIGHT.

TALKING, AND HOW IT HEALS
EMOTIONAL WOUNDS.

DO YOU WHAT
SURPRISED ME THE MOST?

NO, BUT I'M SURE

YOU'RE GOING
TO TELL ME.

I HAD NO IDEA THAT
SOMETHING SO SIMPLE

COULD ALSO BE SO POWERFUL.

I MEAN, YOUR TALK WITH BAHKTIAR
TOOK AWAY HIS CURSE.

HE DIDN'T TURN
INTO A WILD ANIMAL,

EVEN THOUGH VODEN
PUT HIM INTO A RAGE.

TALKING TOOK AWAY HIS FEAR.

YEAH, I THINK
YOU'RE RIGHT.

I THINK WE SHOULD
DO THAT MORE OFTEN.

WHAT?

TALK.

ABSOLUTELY, I INTEND TO.

AH, SOMEHOW, I KNEW YOU

WERE GOING TO SAY THAT.
