[ handsaw rasping ]
[ chattering ]
[ growling ]
[ screeching ]
[ squealing ]
CAN YOU HEAR THAT?
MONKEYS, BIRDS.
HOPEFULLY,
THE GOLDEN AURYX.
THE ANIMALS ARE RESTLESS.
SOMETHING'S WRONG.
WHAT'S THAT?
IT WAS A MONKEY.
SOUNDS LIKE
IT'S TERRIFIED.
WHY?
I DON'T KNOW.
WAIT HERE.
[ handsaw rasping ]
RUN!
RUN!
[ chattering ]
GET OUT OF THE WAY, GO!
Lokar:
OKAY, LET'S CLEAR IT UP.
Mika:
GET THE OTHERS.
WE'LL NEED MORE HELP.
COME ON.
[ chattering ]
COME HERE.
I'M NOT GOING TO HURT YOU.
I'M SORRY ABOUT YOUR MOTHER.
I'M HERE TO HELP.
COME HERE.
AHHH!
[ grunting ]
IN AN AGE WHEN NATURE
AND MAGIC RULED 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 IS ALSO CALLED BEASTMASTER.
WHAT ARE YOU AFRAID OF?
YOU WERE GOING TO HURT
THAT LITTLE MONKEY.
I WAS GOING TO SAVE IT.
[ growling ]
RUH.
IT'S ALL RIGHT.
I CAN TAKE CARE OF THIS.
WHO ARE YOU?
I'M DAR.
THE BEASTMASTER.
YES.
Alima:
I'M SO SORRY.
I, UH, I'M ALIMA.
IF I'D KNOWN
YOU--
IT'S
ALL RIGHT.
MY FATHER, SAKHU,
TOLD ME ABOUT YOU.
SAKHU -- THAT'S THE KING
OF THE ORLAS.
YOUR PEOPLE ARE KNOWN
FOR THEIR GENEROSITY.
WHEN DID YOU START
ATTACKING STRANGERS?
SINCE MY FATHER DIED,
THINGS HAVE CHANGED.
OUR WAY OF LIFE
IS UNDER ATTACK.
I CAN SEE THAT.
MOST OF
THE ANIMALS
HAVE BEEN KILLED
OR DRIVEN AWAY.
THEY'RE BEING HUNTED
FOR THEIR SKINS,
NOT FOR CLOTHING OR SHELTER,
BUT TO TRADE.
DO YOU KNOW
WHO'S DOING IT?
AN OUTSIDER
WORKING FOR ZAD.
HE OFFERED GOLD
FOR THEIR SKIN.
SOME GREEDY MEN
WILL TAKE IT.
WHEN THERE WERE
NO MORE ANIMALS LEFT TO HUNT,
THEY STARTED CUTTING
DOWN TREES.
NOW, EVERY DAY,
THERE ARE FEWER ANIMALS
AND LESS FOREST FOR THEM
TO LIVE IN.
COME ON.
YOU'LL BE SAFE
WITH ME NOW.
IF THIS CONTINUES
THERE'LL BE NOTHING LEFT.
BE CAREFUL.
THEY'LL KILL ANYONE
WHO TRIES TO STOP THEM.
HOW LONG WILL
THIS TAKE?
WE'RE WORKING
AS FAST AS WE CAN.
THE RAIDERS CAME AGAIN
LAST NIGHT AND STOLE OUR TOOLS.
I'LL GET YOU
MORE.
KING ZAD
WANTS HIS TIMBER.
HE ISN'T A MAN
YOU KEEP WAITING.
HAVE A GO YOURSELF.
THAT'S WHAT
I PAY YOU FOR.
OH, YEAH, TO DO THE WORK
THAT'S TOO DIFFICULT
AND TOO DANGEROUS FOR YOU.
Lokar:
WE'RE A GOOD TEAM.
[ laughing ]
I'M A TRADER
WITH WONDERFUL CONNECTIONS.
YOU KNOW THESE WOODS.
TOGETHER WE'LL BE RICH.
THAT'S WHAT
YOU PROMISED.
AS LONG
AS WE DON'T ANGER KING ZAD.
HE HAS PLANS
FOR THIS TIMBER.
TO EXPAND HIS EMPIRE
HE NEEDS TO BUILD FORTS
TO HOUSE HIS ARMIES,
AND BUILD BRIDGES
TO SPAN THE LARGEST RIVERS.
LOOK AROUND!
WE'VE ALL THIS
TIMBER ANY MAN,
EVEN KING ZAD,
COULD WANT.
A MAN WITH PLANS LIKE THAT
IS NOT A MAN YOU WANT TO CROSS.
BUT PLEASE HIM,
AND YOU WILL HAVE MORE WEALTH
FOR EVERY MAN IN YOUR TRIBE
THAN YOU CAN POSSIBLY IMAGINE.
JUST THINK OF HOW HEAVY THAT
GOLD WILL WEIGH IN YOUR HANDS.
HOW IT WILL BUY
ANYTHING YOUR HEART DESIRES.
KING ZAD IS SO EAGER
FOR OUR SUCCESS
THAT HE HAS SENT HIS KNIGHTS
TO PROTECT YOU.
FROM WHAT?
I TOLD HIM ABOUT THE ATTACKS
ON YOUR MEN.
Mika:
WE CAN DEFEND OURSELVES.
I NEED MEN WHO CAN SWING AXES,
NOT SWORDS.
Lokar:
BE CAREFUL,
BE VERY CAREFUL, MIKA.
THEY WOULD AS SOON SLICE YOUR
HEAD OFF AS SHAKE YOUR HAND.
UGH.
WHOA,
BE CAREFUL WITH THAT.
DAR, AM I GLAD
TO SEE YOU.
LEAVE HIM,
HE'S WITH THE BEASTMASTER.
I'M GLAD YOU TOLD ME
HOW FRIENDLY THE LOCALS ARE.
THIS IS ALIMA --
THIS IS MAKU.
HIS MOTHER WAS KILLED
IN WHAT SEEMS TO BE
THE BEGINNINGS OF A WAR.
THESE MEN CHOPPING DOWN
THE FORESTS --
WE MUST STOP THEM.
THAT'S WHY
THERE'S NO ANIMALS HERE.
THEY WON'T LISTEN.
THEY'RE BLINDED
BY GREED AND STUPIDITY.
DAR, CAN WE HAVE
A MOMENT HERE, PLEASE?
BE CAREFUL WITH THAT!
WE HAVE TO FIND
YOUR MOTHER.
DOESN'T
THE GOLDEN AURYX
HAS ITS NEST
HERE?
THEY FLY TO THIS VALLEY
TO FEED ON THE BLOSSOM
OF THE STARBURST WHICH BLOOMS
ONE WEEK EVERY YEAR.
Dar:
UNTIL I CAN RELEASE HER
FROM MY FATHER'S SPELL,
SHE'LL ACT LIKE
ANY OTHER GOLDEN AURYX.
Tao:
IF THEY'RE CUTTING DOWN
THE FOREST,
THEY CAN CUT DOWN
THE BIRDS' FEEDING GROUNDS.
ALIMA!
HAVE THE ORLAS HEARD
OF THE GOLDEN AURYX?
Tao:
IT'S A BEAUTIFUL BIRD.
IT'S GOLD,
WELL, OBVIOUSLY GOLD.
THAT'S WHY IT'S CALLED "GOLDEN".
ABOUT THIS BIG AND HAS
BLACK AND GOLD.
WHY DO YOU WANT THE BIRDS?
I DON'T WANT ALL THE BIRDS,
JUST ONE.
I'LL TELL YOU WHY
AS SOON AS I CAN.
FOR NOW,
I NEED YOU TO TRUST ME.
THIS IS VERY
IMPORTANT.
THE PATH LOKAR'S MEN ARE CUTTING
WILL GO THROUGH
THEIR FEEDING GROUNDS.
WE MUST FIND THEM.
IF THEY CAN'T FIND FOOD HERE,
THEY WON'T MAKE IT
TO THE NEXT ONE.
WE BETTER
HURRY.
THIS IS WHERE THE AURYX
COMES TO FEED.
I DON'T HEAR IT ANYMORE.
YOU DON'T THINK
THEY'VE BEEN KILLED, DO YOU?
[ creaking and thudding ]
Alima:
I DON'T THINK SO.
THEY'RE VERY SKITTISH.
THE NOISE WILL HAVE
FRIGHTENED THEM.
WHAT WAS THAT?
ANOTHER TREE FALLING.
THE FOREST DISAPPEARS
PIECE BY PIECE.
AND SO DOES
THEIR FEEDING GROUND.
CAN YOUR FRIENDS HELP TAO
FIND THE BIRDS?
WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO?
STOP THEM CUTTING DOWN
THE TREES.
Tao:
I'LL KEEP LOOKING
FOR THE GOLDEN AURYX.
[ hissing ]
THE SNAKES ARE STARTING
TO CONSIDER ALL HUMANS
THE ENEMY, EVEN THE ORLA.
TELL HER
I'M SORRY.
MY PEOPLE
HAVE ALWAYS LIVED
IN HARMONY
WITH THE JUNGLE.
WE MUST MAKE THEM UNDERSTAND
THAT THEIR ACTIONS ARE WRONG.
Alima:
THEY KNOW THEY'RE DESTROYING
OUR HOME -- THEY DON'T CARE.
WE'LL MAKE THEM
CARE.
THIS IS THE PLANT
YOUR BIRD FEEDS ON.
IT'S BEEN TRAMPLED
INTO THE GROUND.
STAY HERE --
I'LL GO ALONE.
DAR, THEY WILL ATTACK YOU.
I DON'T
THINK SO.
CAN YOU
TAKE MAKU?
Mika:
WHAT DO YOU
WANT?
I DON'T WANT
TO FIGHT YOU.
STOP CUTTING DOWN THE TREES.
SO YOU DO WANT TO FIGHT.
UGH --
LEAVE HIM!
YOU WOULDN'T KILL A
HARMLESS WOMAN.
HER?
SHE'S AS HARMLESS
AS A SCORPION.
GET UP, GET UP.
WHY DO YOU CARE
WHAT WE DO TO OUR FOREST?
HE'S THE BEASTMASTER.
HAVE YOU FORGOTTEN EVERYTHING
YOU ONCE WERE?
YOU KNOW HIM?
NO.
TELL HIM, ALIMA.
YOU'RE DEAD --
YOU'RE NOTHING TO ME.
I USED TO BE YOUR BROTHER.
OH, THAT'S RIGHT.
SHE DISOWNED ME.
PUT THE SWORD DOWN.
YOU CAN'T KILL
YOUR OWN SISTER.
I WARNED HER.
IF SHE ATTACKED US AGAIN,
THERE WOULD BE CONSEQUENCES.
IT'S SURVIVAL.
HE'S DESTROYING THE FOREST,
OUR WAY OF LIFE.
YOUR WAY!
GRUBBING IN THE JUNGLE
FOR NUTS AND SEEDS.
IF YOU JOINS US,
WE WILL LIVE LIKE KINGS.
YOU LIVE
LIKE SLAVES.
AT LEAST
WE'RE FREE.
STOP IT!
THE ORLAS WERE ONCE
THE HAPPIEST PEOPLE I KNEW.
THEY WERE PRIMITIVES,
IGNORANT!
Alima:
YOU'RE NOT SO SMART.
FATHER WOULD SAY
YOU WERE JUST GREEDY.
WHY EAT A PLANT'S BULB
WHEN YOU COULD CUT TREES
AND FEAST FOR YEARS?
AND ONCE
YOU'VE CHOPPED THEM ALL DOWN?
I'LL KILL YOU
BEFORE I'LL LET YOU
WIPE OUT
THE FOREST!
COME ON, COME ON!
WILL YOU STOP FIGHTING?
WE'LL GET SO MUCH GOLD
WE'LL NEVER HAVE TO WORRY.
IT'LL NEVER RUN OUT.
ONCE THE TREES AND THE ANIMALS
ARE GONE,
WHAT WILL YOUR GOLD BUY YOU?
[ Sharak shrilling ]
[ shrilling ]
WHAT IS IT?
ZAD'S MEN ARE COMING.
EVEN IF YOU HAVE
DISOWNED ME,
YOU'RE STILL MY SISTER.
LOKAR HAS ASKED KING ZAD
FOR PROTECTION -- GO.
FROM ME?
ZAD MEN'S
ARE NO LAUGHING MATTER.
I TOLD YOU
HE WON'T LISTEN.
GIVE HIM TIME.
DEEP DOWN
HE KNOWS HE'S STILL AN ORLA.
HOW CAN YOU
SAY THAT?
HE HATES US.
NO.
HE HATES HIMSELF.
THE GOLDEN AURYX.
OHHH, IT'S BEAUTIFUL.
OH, NO, DON'T.
DON'T GO.
YOU'RE IN DANGER, ALIMA,
JUST GO.
IF FATHER WAS STILL ALIVE--
FATHER'S DEAD.
THE TRIBE IS MY
RESPONSIBILITY.
WHAT ABOUT THOSE
WHO PREFER MY WAYS?
YOUR TREE CUTTERS ARE ALMOST
AT OUR VILLAGE.
GO TO ANOTHER
FOREST.
NO --
THIS IS OUR ANCESTORS' LAND.
THEY'RE DEAD.
THIS IS A NEW WORLD.
DOES IT MAKE YOU HAPPY?
WOULD YOU GIVE
THEM TIME TO MOVE?
WE HAVE NOWHERE
TO GO.
WHAT IF I FIND YOU
SOMEWHERE ELSE?
THE FOREST CAN NO LONGER
SUPPORT YOUR PEOPLE.
HE'S RIGHT.
MY PEOPLE WOULD NEED TO KNOW
THAT SUCH A PLACE EXISTS
OR THEY'LL DEFEND THEIR HOME
TO THE DEATH.
I CAN
STALL LOKAR
FOR A DAY
OR TWO.
Tao:
DAR!
I FOUND
THE BIRDS!
WHERE?
THERE ARE THREE OF THEM --
THEY WON'T STAY LONG.
I MUST GO --
I'LL COME BACK.
[ panting ]
ARE YOU THIRSTY?
HERE.
I CAN DO THIS --
GO FIND YOUR MOTHER.
ARE YOU SURE?
YES --
GO.
[ bird fluttering ]
[ lapping ]
SSS!
AHHH!
I FOUND YOU.
MOTHER, IT'S ME.
DON'T BE AFRAID.
FLY!
DON'T GO FAR.
WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?
SEND THESE MEN
TO THE TREES.
GET TO WORK.
EVERYBODY, GET TO WORK!
YOU PROMISED YOU'D STOP
THE CUTTING FOR A FEW DAYS.
OPEN YOUR EYES.
IT ISN'T THAT SIMPLE
ANYMORE.
DON'T YOU SEE
ZAD'S KNIGHTS?
GET OUT
OF MY WAY.
I TOLD YOU WE'D KILL
BEFORE WE'D LET THIS CONTINUE.
GET AWAY --
WE'VE GOT WORK TO DO!
I WON'T LET YOU DESTROY
THIS LAND.
YOUR PEOPLE NEED A LESSON
IN SOME MANNERS.
I'LL TEACH YOU
TO SHOW KING ZAD SOME RESPECT.
GET OFF ME!
DON'T
TOUCH HER!
LET GO!
DON'T
TOUCH HER!
AREN'T YOU MEN A LONG WAY
FROM XINCA?
Warrior:
GET HIM!
BEASTMASTER, BEHIND YOU.
BEASTMASTER!
INTERESTING.
KING ZAD WILL PAY HANDSOMELY
FOR YOU.
I COULD KILL YOU RIGHT NOW.
YOU THINK
YOU'RE QUICK ENOUGH?
I COULD KILL THEM.
YOU'RE WORTH MORE TO ME ALIVE.
LET THEM GO.
THEY'RE TROUBLEMAKERS --
I NEED TO MAKE AN EXAMPLE.
WE DON'T HAVE TIME.
KING ZAD WANTS HIS LOGS
IN A HURRY, REMEMBER?
RIGHT YOU ARE, MIKA.
WE'LL PUT THEM TO WORK.
WE'LL NEVER CUT TREES
FOR YOU.
TELL HER TO BE REASONABLE,
BEASTMASTER.
WHAT WOULD
YOU DO?
WHATEVER IS NECESSARY
TO STOP YOU.
YOU WOULD DIE
TO SAVE SOME TREES.
THE FOREST IS MORE THAN TREES.
IT PROVIDES A HOME
FOR THE ANIMALS THAT LIVE IN IT.
LOCK THEM UP.
TAKE THE OTHERS
BACK TO THE TREES.
WORK THEM 'TIL THEY DROP.
ALL OF THEM.
WHAT?
I SAID
YOUR PEOPLE NEED A LESSON.
YOU'RE NO EXCEPTION.
YOU'RE NOTHING MORE
THAN A STRONG BACK.
THAT'S ALL YOU'LL EVER BE --
GET MOVING.
COME ON, KEEP MOVING.
MOVE, COME ON.
GET IN THERE.
HOW MANY GUARDS?
THREE,
MAYBE FOUR.
WE CAN TAKE THEM.
THEN WHAT?
THEN WE RESCUE MIKA
AND THE OTHERS.
WHERE DO
WE GO?
THERE'S NOWHERE
TO HIDE.
I'LL FIND YOU A NEW HOME.
THE ORLA HAVE ALWAYS LIVED HERE.
THIS LAND NEEDS
TIME TO HEAL.
WE MUST FIND
YOU A PLACE
TO SUSTAIN
YOUR PEOPLE,
AND MIKA'S,
FOR A LONG TIME TO COME.
MIKA WOULD
JUST DESTROY
A NEW LAND.
HA, HA, HA.
I THINK HE JUST LEARNED
THAT HIS FUTURE WORKING
FOR ZAD IS OVER.
HOW CAN YOU KNOW THAT?
I KNOW HIS FAMILY.
THEY'RE GOOD PEOPLE.
Tao:
THAT'S NICE.
I THINK WE NEED
TO GET OUT OF HERE.
DO YOU HAVE ANY HERBS?
YEAH, SURE,
WHAT DO YOU NEED?
[ Tao chuckling ]
I HAVE EXACTLY
WHAT YOU NEED.
UGH!
MOVE, MOVE!
Tao:
GUARDS, GUARDS!
GUARDS, GUARDS!
WHAT
DO YOU WANT?
PLEASE HELP ME --
THIS MAN IS SICK.
HE'S SWEATING
AND CONVULSING.
I DON'T KNOW HOW TO HELP HIM.
IT'LL BE MY HEAD ON ZAD'S
PLATTER IF THIS MAN DIES.
STAND ASIDE!
MOVE!
WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU --
GET UP!
LET'S GO.
YOU'VE MADE
AN AMAZING RECOVERY.
[ Sharak shrilling ]
[ shrilling ]
SHARAK'S GOING TO FIND
A NEW HOME FOR YOUR FAMILY.
THANK YOU.
LET'S GO FIND YOUR BROTHER.
[ cracking ]
Overseer:
I SAID MOVE!
[ men grunting ]
COME ON!
[ whip cracking ]
THIS IS FAR ENOUGH.
THIS TREE.
YOU MIGHT WANT
TO STAND BACK.
AHHH!
WHEW.
THIS WAY.
WE'LL COME BACK
FOR THE OTHERS.
[ shrilling ]
[ shrilling ]
WHAT DID YOU FIND?
WELL DONE, MY FRIEND,
WELL DONE.
SHARAK'S FOUND A PLACE
DEEP IN THE FOREST FOR YOU.
GREAT --
MORE TREES
FOR MIKA
TO CUT DOWN.
IT'S A LONG VALLEY
WITH A RIVER RUNNING THROUGH IT.
A CLIFF FACE THAT GLOWS RED
FROM THE EVENING SUN.
WEST OF HERE.
Alima:
WE MUST CROSS KUNJA BOG.
Tao:
KUNJA BOG?
Mika:
I'VE HEARD MANY HAVE FAILED
TO CROSS IT.
Alima:
MY FATHER SHOWED IT
TO ME ONCE.
I STEPPED
WHERE HE WARNED ME NOT TO.
HE GRABBED ME OR I WOULD
HAVE BEEN SUCKED DOWN.
ISN'T THERE
ANY OTHER WAY?
Dar:
CAN YOU GUIDE US THROUGH?
I'LL GUIDE YOU,
NOT HIM.
Mika:
YOU LEAVE OUR PEOPLE
TO BE LOKAR'S SLAVES?
HOW WOULD I KNOW YOU WOULDN'T DO
THE SAME THING IN A NEW LAND?
ENOUGH!
IF YOU DON'T MAKE PEACE AND
START OVER, IT'LL BE THE END
OF THE ORLAS.
Mika:
I UNDERSTAND NOW.
ZAD'S WAY IS NOT THE FUTURE.
NO MORE TRADING
OR CUTTING UP THE TREES.
IF THERE'S A NEW KING,
WILL YOU CHANGE YOUR MIND?
YOU MUST TRUST EACH OTHER.
[ laughing ]
WHAT ABOUT
THE AURYX?
CAN YOU STAY HERE
AND KEEP LOOKING FOR HER?
I THOUGHT YOU'D
ASK ME THAT.
IF I CAN'T REUNITE MY FAMILY,
BALCIFER WILL WIN.
BE CAREFUL -- LOKAR'S MEN
WILL BE COMBING THE FOREST.
THANK YOU.
THE KUNJA BOG.
LOOKS LIKE ORDINARY FOREST,
BUT ONE FALSE STEP
AND IT'LL SUCK YOU
INTO ITS HEART -- WHOA!
IT'S GROWN.
IT'S BIGGER.
THIS USED TO BE SOLID GROUND.
HOW COULD IT
HAVE GROWN?
EVERYTHING'S CHANGED
SINCE YOUR CUTTING BEGAN.
RIVERS ARE SWOLLEN,
GROUND'S WASHED AWAY.
YOU BLAME ME
FOR ALL THE ILLS OF THE WORLD,
EVEN THE KUNJA BOG,
WHICH WAS HERE
BEFORE OUR ANCESTORS.
Dar:
THE LAND'S CONNECTED.
WHAT YOU DO TO ONE PART
AFFECTS THE REST.
ARE YOU READY?
PERHAPS SHE'S FRIGHTENED.
PERHAPS I'LL TAKE YOU ACROSS
AND LEAVE YOU ON THE OTHER SIDE.
[ cracking ]
WHERE ARE
THEY NOW?
THEY SPLIT UP.
THE BEASTMASTER'S
AT THE KUNJA BOG.
THE OTHER ONE'S TRACKING
THE AURYX.
AURYX?
IT'S A BIRD,
A VERY RARE BIRD.
REALLY?
IT MUST BE
VALUABLE.
WAIT, YOU'RE
TOO FAST!
WORKING FOR LOKAR'S
MADE YOU CLUMSY AND SLOW.
A TRUE ORLA COULD CROSS.
I CAN'T SEE
YOUR FOOTSTEPS.
I'M NOT STOPPING
BECAUSE YOU CAN'T KEEP UP.
BE CAREFUL --
ONE WRONG--
Mika:
YOU WANT TO KILL ME.
Alima:
SHUT UP AND CONCENTRATE!
Dar:
STOP ARGUING.
IT'S DANGEROUS ENOUGH.
CAN YOU FIND A WAY?
Alima:
I THOUGHT THIS WAS IT.
OKAY.
IT'S OKAY!
ALIMA, DON'T MOVE --
WE'LL GET TO YOU.
MIKA, GRAB HER.
I CAN'T MAKE IT
THAT FAR.
CAN YOU
REACH HER?
NO, I CAN'T.
ALIMA!
[ panting ]
[ groaning ]
I WON'T LET YOU GO.
[ both grunting ]
HOLD ON!
AHHH!
HOLD ON.
KODO, PODO.
I NEED YOUR HELP.
HOLD ON!
[ grunting ]
KODO, PODO!
GET THE VINE!
[ groaning ]
HURRY!
Dar:
HURRY, HURRY!
[ groaning ]
MIKA!
PULL!
ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?
ORLA WARRIORS AREN'T SUPPOSED
TO WEEP.
NONE OF THEM
FOUGHT
THE KUNJA BOG
AND SURVIVED.
LOKAR?
WHAT DO YOU WANT HERE?
YOU.
ME, WHY?
YOU'RE LOOKING FOR A BIRD --
I WANT TO HELP YOU FIND IT.
I DON'T WANT YOUR HELP.
LET'S DO THIS TOGETHER.
YOU FIND THE BIRD;
I SELL IT -- I'M A TRADER.
IT GIVES YOU THE RIGHT
TO STRIP THE FOREST.
PEOPLE LIVE HERE.
THAT WAY OF LIFE IS DEAD --
AS DEAD AS THIS FOREST
WHEN I'M FINISHED WITH IT.
YOU JUST WALK AWAY.
YOU DON'T CARE
ABOUT WHAT HARM YOU CAUSE.
I'M NOT THE CAUSE.
I'M MERELY GIVE PEOPLE
WHAT THEY WANT.
IF I DIDN'T DO IT,
SOMEONE ELSE WOULD.
NO ONE WANTS
THIS.
NO ONE WANTS
DEAD LAND.
ARE YOU SURE?
SINCE ZAD BROUGHT WEALTH
AND PRIVILEGE TO XINCA,
PEOPLE WANT EVERYTHING:
FURS,
CREATURES TO KEEP IN CAGES.
GRAND CITIES WHERE ONE MAN
WASTES ENOUGH FOR TEN.
Tao:
IT DOESN'T HAVE
TO BE LIKE THIS.
YOU THINK NOT?
WHY IS THERE SUCH A DARKNESS
OVER THE LAND,
NOT JUST HERE
BUT EVERYWHERE?
I'VE SEEN IT,
SO HAVE YOU.
EVIL STANDS ASTRIDE THE WORLD.
FIGHT IT.
YOU FIGHT IT.
I DON'T HAVE SUCH ARROGANCE.
I DO WHAT I CAN
TO SURVIVE.
I ADVISE YOU DO AS WELL.
WE CAN MAKE THIS WORLD
A PARADISE AGAIN.
DON'T BE SUCH A DREAMER.
ONCE PEOPLE TASTE LUXURY,
THEY WON'T LIVE
OFF THE LAND.
WORK WITH ME.
I'LL MAKE YOU RICH.
NEVER.
REALLY, TAO,
YOU SHOULD BE MORE FLEXIBLE.
YOU CAN'T SAY
I DIDN'T GIVE YOU A CHANCE.
TAKE HIM AWAY.
THIS TIME MAKE SURE
HE STAYS LOCKED UP.
BOTH OF YOU CAN FIND
A HOME HERE,
IF YOU CAN LIVE
WITH EACH OTHER.
WE WERE
ONE PEOPLE
WHEN FATHER
WAS ALIVE.
WE LIVED
THE OLD WAYS.
Alima:
WE CAN REBUILD
OUR VILLAGE HERE.
BEGIN AGAIN.
CAN YOU LIVE
WITH THE OLD WAYS?
I'VE FORGOTTEN
MANY OF THEM.
WILL YOU HELP HIM REMEMBER?
[ Sharak shrilling ]
Dar:
ZAD'S KNIGHTS ARE AFTER US.
ALL OF THEM?
AGAINST
THREE OF US?
WE'RE NOT ALONE.
WE HAVE THE FORESTS
AND THE BOG.
[ growling ]
AND MY FRIENDS.
Dar:
LOKAR?
BEASTMASTER.
JUST THE MAN
I'M LOOKING FOR.
HERE I AM.
WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR,
FOOLS, GET HIM!
OHHH!
BEASTMASTER?
OVER HERE!
Lokar:
LEAVE HIM.
GET THE BEASTMASTER.
LOKAR?
UGH!
I'VE HAD ENOUGH OF THIS GAME.
NOW, YOU COME
TO ME.
WHY WOULD I WANT
TO DO THAT?
I HAVE SOMETHING --
SOMEONE --
VERY IMPORTANT TO YOU.
YOU RECOGNIZE THIS?
WHERE IS HE?
BRING HIM OUT.
SORRY, DAR.
WHAT DO YOU WANT, LOKAR?
MIKA AND I HAD A DEAL.
I HAVE A CONTRACT
WITH KING ZAD.
ZAD'S PROMISES ARE EMPTY,
LIKE YOURS.
IT'S JUST BUSINESS.
MIKA PROMISED US LOGS --
I CAN'T GIVE THEM UP
WITHOUT COMPENSATION.
WHAT DO YOU WANT?
I COULD TRY TO GET YOU BACK
TO KING ZAD,
BUT MIKA'S RIGHT --
HE'S A LIAR AND A CHEAT.
THE GOLDEN AURYX,
HOWEVER,
WOULD BE VALUABLE IN TRADE --
BRING IT TO ME,
OTHERWISE HE DIES.
I TOLD YOU BEFORE,
THE BIRD'S GONE.
SURELY THE BEASTMASTER
COULD FIND ONE.
I'LL GO AND LOOK.
I HOPE FOR YOUR SAKE
HE FINDS THE BIRD.
I HOPE
HE DOESN'T.
[ growling ]
I WAS HOPING I'D FIND YOU HERE.
DON'T WORRY,
I WON'T HURT HIM.
HE'S MY INSURANCE.
I DON'T
TRUST YOU.
I'M GETTING IMPATIENT.
FIND THE BEASTMASTER
AND TELL HIM TO HURRY.
HE WON'T GIVE
IT TO YOU.
YOU'LL DIE.
LOKAR?
BEASTMASTER!
WHERE'S MY BIRD?
I TOLD YOU,
THEY'RE GONE.
SHE'S SAFE.
FOLLOW ME.
I'LL SHOW YOU
WHERE SHE IS.
IF THIS IS A TRICK,
YOUR FRIEND WILL DIE.
ALL RIGHT,
WHERE IS IT?
THIS IS
WHERE THEY NEST.
LEAVE THEM
IN PEACE.
LEAVE THIS PLACE
AS IT IS.
I EARN NOTHING THAT WAY.
Dar:
THIS COULD BE THE LAST NESTING
GROUND OF THE GOLDEN AURYX.
IF IT'S GONE,
THEY'RE GONE.
Lokar:
ONLY FROM THE FOREST,
WHERE NO ONE SEES THEM.
I'LL TELL YOU WHAT.
I'LL HAVE ONE STUFFED
AND HANG IT OVER ZAD'S THRONE.
ARE YOU EVEN SURE
THEY'RE HERE?
I SAW THREE
YESTERDAY.
I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU SAW.
BEASTMASTER!
Dar:
THERE.
DOWN OVER HERE.
COME ON.
[ chuckling ]
[ growling ]
[ yelling ]
YOU THINK
RUH WILL KILL HIM?
HE'S JUST
PLAYING WITH HIM.
LET'S GO.
[ growling ]
AHH!
[ growling ]
[ panting ]
[ growling ]
HELP!
THIS IS WHERE I SAW HER.
WE'RE TOO LATE.
I HAVE SOMETHING
TO SHOW YOU.
THIS IS A VERY SPECIAL NEST.
ONLY THE ORLA KNEW ABOUT IT,
UNTIL NOW.
IT'S BEAUTIFUL.
AMAZING.
IT'S MORE THAN THAT.
IT'S THE HOME
OF THE GOLDEN AURYX.
I KNOW YOU GAVE UP
YOUR SEARCH THIS YEAR,
BUT YOU HELPED US FIND PEACE.
SO, WHEN THEY RETURN...
I'LL KNOW WHERE TO FIND HER.
I HOPE YOU AND YOUR FAMILY
WILL BE HAPPY HERE.
WE WILL BE --
THANK YOU.
MAKU WANTS TO GO WITH YOU.
HE NEEDS A NEW HOME TOO.
CLOSED CAPTIONS PRODUCED BY
ALLIANCE ATLANTIS BROADCASTING
[ chattering ]
[ growling ]
[ screeching ]
[ squealing ]
CAN YOU HEAR THAT?
MONKEYS, BIRDS.
HOPEFULLY,
THE GOLDEN AURYX.
THE ANIMALS ARE RESTLESS.
SOMETHING'S WRONG.
WHAT'S THAT?
IT WAS A MONKEY.
SOUNDS LIKE
IT'S TERRIFIED.
WHY?
I DON'T KNOW.
WAIT HERE.
[ handsaw rasping ]
RUN!
RUN!
[ chattering ]
GET OUT OF THE WAY, GO!
Lokar:
OKAY, LET'S CLEAR IT UP.
Mika:
GET THE OTHERS.
WE'LL NEED MORE HELP.
COME ON.
[ chattering ]
COME HERE.
I'M NOT GOING TO HURT YOU.
I'M SORRY ABOUT YOUR MOTHER.
I'M HERE TO HELP.
COME HERE.
AHHH!
[ grunting ]
IN AN AGE WHEN NATURE
AND MAGIC RULED 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 IS ALSO CALLED BEASTMASTER.
WHAT ARE YOU AFRAID OF?
YOU WERE GOING TO HURT
THAT LITTLE MONKEY.
I WAS GOING TO SAVE IT.
[ growling ]
RUH.
IT'S ALL RIGHT.
I CAN TAKE CARE OF THIS.
WHO ARE YOU?
I'M DAR.
THE BEASTMASTER.
YES.
Alima:
I'M SO SORRY.
I, UH, I'M ALIMA.
IF I'D KNOWN
YOU--
IT'S
ALL RIGHT.
MY FATHER, SAKHU,
TOLD ME ABOUT YOU.
SAKHU -- THAT'S THE KING
OF THE ORLAS.
YOUR PEOPLE ARE KNOWN
FOR THEIR GENEROSITY.
WHEN DID YOU START
ATTACKING STRANGERS?
SINCE MY FATHER DIED,
THINGS HAVE CHANGED.
OUR WAY OF LIFE
IS UNDER ATTACK.
I CAN SEE THAT.
MOST OF
THE ANIMALS
HAVE BEEN KILLED
OR DRIVEN AWAY.
THEY'RE BEING HUNTED
FOR THEIR SKINS,
NOT FOR CLOTHING OR SHELTER,
BUT TO TRADE.
DO YOU KNOW
WHO'S DOING IT?
AN OUTSIDER
WORKING FOR ZAD.
HE OFFERED GOLD
FOR THEIR SKIN.
SOME GREEDY MEN
WILL TAKE IT.
WHEN THERE WERE
NO MORE ANIMALS LEFT TO HUNT,
THEY STARTED CUTTING
DOWN TREES.
NOW, EVERY DAY,
THERE ARE FEWER ANIMALS
AND LESS FOREST FOR THEM
TO LIVE IN.
COME ON.
YOU'LL BE SAFE
WITH ME NOW.
IF THIS CONTINUES
THERE'LL BE NOTHING LEFT.
BE CAREFUL.
THEY'LL KILL ANYONE
WHO TRIES TO STOP THEM.
HOW LONG WILL
THIS TAKE?
WE'RE WORKING
AS FAST AS WE CAN.
THE RAIDERS CAME AGAIN
LAST NIGHT AND STOLE OUR TOOLS.
I'LL GET YOU
MORE.
KING ZAD
WANTS HIS TIMBER.
HE ISN'T A MAN
YOU KEEP WAITING.
HAVE A GO YOURSELF.
THAT'S WHAT
I PAY YOU FOR.
OH, YEAH, TO DO THE WORK
THAT'S TOO DIFFICULT
AND TOO DANGEROUS FOR YOU.
Lokar:
WE'RE A GOOD TEAM.
[ laughing ]
I'M A TRADER
WITH WONDERFUL CONNECTIONS.
YOU KNOW THESE WOODS.
TOGETHER WE'LL BE RICH.
THAT'S WHAT
YOU PROMISED.
AS LONG
AS WE DON'T ANGER KING ZAD.
HE HAS PLANS
FOR THIS TIMBER.
TO EXPAND HIS EMPIRE
HE NEEDS TO BUILD FORTS
TO HOUSE HIS ARMIES,
AND BUILD BRIDGES
TO SPAN THE LARGEST RIVERS.
LOOK AROUND!
WE'VE ALL THIS
TIMBER ANY MAN,
EVEN KING ZAD,
COULD WANT.
A MAN WITH PLANS LIKE THAT
IS NOT A MAN YOU WANT TO CROSS.
BUT PLEASE HIM,
AND YOU WILL HAVE MORE WEALTH
FOR EVERY MAN IN YOUR TRIBE
THAN YOU CAN POSSIBLY IMAGINE.
JUST THINK OF HOW HEAVY THAT
GOLD WILL WEIGH IN YOUR HANDS.
HOW IT WILL BUY
ANYTHING YOUR HEART DESIRES.
KING ZAD IS SO EAGER
FOR OUR SUCCESS
THAT HE HAS SENT HIS KNIGHTS
TO PROTECT YOU.
FROM WHAT?
I TOLD HIM ABOUT THE ATTACKS
ON YOUR MEN.
Mika:
WE CAN DEFEND OURSELVES.
I NEED MEN WHO CAN SWING AXES,
NOT SWORDS.
Lokar:
BE CAREFUL,
BE VERY CAREFUL, MIKA.
THEY WOULD AS SOON SLICE YOUR
HEAD OFF AS SHAKE YOUR HAND.
UGH.
WHOA,
BE CAREFUL WITH THAT.
DAR, AM I GLAD
TO SEE YOU.
LEAVE HIM,
HE'S WITH THE BEASTMASTER.
I'M GLAD YOU TOLD ME
HOW FRIENDLY THE LOCALS ARE.
THIS IS ALIMA --
THIS IS MAKU.
HIS MOTHER WAS KILLED
IN WHAT SEEMS TO BE
THE BEGINNINGS OF A WAR.
THESE MEN CHOPPING DOWN
THE FORESTS --
WE MUST STOP THEM.
THAT'S WHY
THERE'S NO ANIMALS HERE.
THEY WON'T LISTEN.
THEY'RE BLINDED
BY GREED AND STUPIDITY.
DAR, CAN WE HAVE
A MOMENT HERE, PLEASE?
BE CAREFUL WITH THAT!
WE HAVE TO FIND
YOUR MOTHER.
DOESN'T
THE GOLDEN AURYX
HAS ITS NEST
HERE?
THEY FLY TO THIS VALLEY
TO FEED ON THE BLOSSOM
OF THE STARBURST WHICH BLOOMS
ONE WEEK EVERY YEAR.
Dar:
UNTIL I CAN RELEASE HER
FROM MY FATHER'S SPELL,
SHE'LL ACT LIKE
ANY OTHER GOLDEN AURYX.
Tao:
IF THEY'RE CUTTING DOWN
THE FOREST,
THEY CAN CUT DOWN
THE BIRDS' FEEDING GROUNDS.
ALIMA!
HAVE THE ORLAS HEARD
OF THE GOLDEN AURYX?
Tao:
IT'S A BEAUTIFUL BIRD.
IT'S GOLD,
WELL, OBVIOUSLY GOLD.
THAT'S WHY IT'S CALLED "GOLDEN".
ABOUT THIS BIG AND HAS
BLACK AND GOLD.
WHY DO YOU WANT THE BIRDS?
I DON'T WANT ALL THE BIRDS,
JUST ONE.
I'LL TELL YOU WHY
AS SOON AS I CAN.
FOR NOW,
I NEED YOU TO TRUST ME.
THIS IS VERY
IMPORTANT.
THE PATH LOKAR'S MEN ARE CUTTING
WILL GO THROUGH
THEIR FEEDING GROUNDS.
WE MUST FIND THEM.
IF THEY CAN'T FIND FOOD HERE,
THEY WON'T MAKE IT
TO THE NEXT ONE.
WE BETTER
HURRY.
THIS IS WHERE THE AURYX
COMES TO FEED.
I DON'T HEAR IT ANYMORE.
YOU DON'T THINK
THEY'VE BEEN KILLED, DO YOU?
[ creaking and thudding ]
Alima:
I DON'T THINK SO.
THEY'RE VERY SKITTISH.
THE NOISE WILL HAVE
FRIGHTENED THEM.
WHAT WAS THAT?
ANOTHER TREE FALLING.
THE FOREST DISAPPEARS
PIECE BY PIECE.
AND SO DOES
THEIR FEEDING GROUND.
CAN YOUR FRIENDS HELP TAO
FIND THE BIRDS?
WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO?
STOP THEM CUTTING DOWN
THE TREES.
Tao:
I'LL KEEP LOOKING
FOR THE GOLDEN AURYX.
[ hissing ]
THE SNAKES ARE STARTING
TO CONSIDER ALL HUMANS
THE ENEMY, EVEN THE ORLA.
TELL HER
I'M SORRY.
MY PEOPLE
HAVE ALWAYS LIVED
IN HARMONY
WITH THE JUNGLE.
WE MUST MAKE THEM UNDERSTAND
THAT THEIR ACTIONS ARE WRONG.
Alima:
THEY KNOW THEY'RE DESTROYING
OUR HOME -- THEY DON'T CARE.
WE'LL MAKE THEM
CARE.
THIS IS THE PLANT
YOUR BIRD FEEDS ON.
IT'S BEEN TRAMPLED
INTO THE GROUND.
STAY HERE --
I'LL GO ALONE.
DAR, THEY WILL ATTACK YOU.
I DON'T
THINK SO.
CAN YOU
TAKE MAKU?
Mika:
WHAT DO YOU
WANT?
I DON'T WANT
TO FIGHT YOU.
STOP CUTTING DOWN THE TREES.
SO YOU DO WANT TO FIGHT.
UGH --
LEAVE HIM!
YOU WOULDN'T KILL A
HARMLESS WOMAN.
HER?
SHE'S AS HARMLESS
AS A SCORPION.
GET UP, GET UP.
WHY DO YOU CARE
WHAT WE DO TO OUR FOREST?
HE'S THE BEASTMASTER.
HAVE YOU FORGOTTEN EVERYTHING
YOU ONCE WERE?
YOU KNOW HIM?
NO.
TELL HIM, ALIMA.
YOU'RE DEAD --
YOU'RE NOTHING TO ME.
I USED TO BE YOUR BROTHER.
OH, THAT'S RIGHT.
SHE DISOWNED ME.
PUT THE SWORD DOWN.
YOU CAN'T KILL
YOUR OWN SISTER.
I WARNED HER.
IF SHE ATTACKED US AGAIN,
THERE WOULD BE CONSEQUENCES.
IT'S SURVIVAL.
HE'S DESTROYING THE FOREST,
OUR WAY OF LIFE.
YOUR WAY!
GRUBBING IN THE JUNGLE
FOR NUTS AND SEEDS.
IF YOU JOINS US,
WE WILL LIVE LIKE KINGS.
YOU LIVE
LIKE SLAVES.
AT LEAST
WE'RE FREE.
STOP IT!
THE ORLAS WERE ONCE
THE HAPPIEST PEOPLE I KNEW.
THEY WERE PRIMITIVES,
IGNORANT!
Alima:
YOU'RE NOT SO SMART.
FATHER WOULD SAY
YOU WERE JUST GREEDY.
WHY EAT A PLANT'S BULB
WHEN YOU COULD CUT TREES
AND FEAST FOR YEARS?
AND ONCE
YOU'VE CHOPPED THEM ALL DOWN?
I'LL KILL YOU
BEFORE I'LL LET YOU
WIPE OUT
THE FOREST!
COME ON, COME ON!
WILL YOU STOP FIGHTING?
WE'LL GET SO MUCH GOLD
WE'LL NEVER HAVE TO WORRY.
IT'LL NEVER RUN OUT.
ONCE THE TREES AND THE ANIMALS
ARE GONE,
WHAT WILL YOUR GOLD BUY YOU?
[ Sharak shrilling ]
[ shrilling ]
WHAT IS IT?
ZAD'S MEN ARE COMING.
EVEN IF YOU HAVE
DISOWNED ME,
YOU'RE STILL MY SISTER.
LOKAR HAS ASKED KING ZAD
FOR PROTECTION -- GO.
FROM ME?
ZAD MEN'S
ARE NO LAUGHING MATTER.
I TOLD YOU
HE WON'T LISTEN.
GIVE HIM TIME.
DEEP DOWN
HE KNOWS HE'S STILL AN ORLA.
HOW CAN YOU
SAY THAT?
HE HATES US.
NO.
HE HATES HIMSELF.
THE GOLDEN AURYX.
OHHH, IT'S BEAUTIFUL.
OH, NO, DON'T.
DON'T GO.
YOU'RE IN DANGER, ALIMA,
JUST GO.
IF FATHER WAS STILL ALIVE--
FATHER'S DEAD.
THE TRIBE IS MY
RESPONSIBILITY.
WHAT ABOUT THOSE
WHO PREFER MY WAYS?
YOUR TREE CUTTERS ARE ALMOST
AT OUR VILLAGE.
GO TO ANOTHER
FOREST.
NO --
THIS IS OUR ANCESTORS' LAND.
THEY'RE DEAD.
THIS IS A NEW WORLD.
DOES IT MAKE YOU HAPPY?
WOULD YOU GIVE
THEM TIME TO MOVE?
WE HAVE NOWHERE
TO GO.
WHAT IF I FIND YOU
SOMEWHERE ELSE?
THE FOREST CAN NO LONGER
SUPPORT YOUR PEOPLE.
HE'S RIGHT.
MY PEOPLE WOULD NEED TO KNOW
THAT SUCH A PLACE EXISTS
OR THEY'LL DEFEND THEIR HOME
TO THE DEATH.
I CAN
STALL LOKAR
FOR A DAY
OR TWO.
Tao:
DAR!
I FOUND
THE BIRDS!
WHERE?
THERE ARE THREE OF THEM --
THEY WON'T STAY LONG.
I MUST GO --
I'LL COME BACK.
[ panting ]
ARE YOU THIRSTY?
HERE.
I CAN DO THIS --
GO FIND YOUR MOTHER.
ARE YOU SURE?
YES --
GO.
[ bird fluttering ]
[ lapping ]
SSS!
AHHH!
I FOUND YOU.
MOTHER, IT'S ME.
DON'T BE AFRAID.
FLY!
DON'T GO FAR.
WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?
SEND THESE MEN
TO THE TREES.
GET TO WORK.
EVERYBODY, GET TO WORK!
YOU PROMISED YOU'D STOP
THE CUTTING FOR A FEW DAYS.
OPEN YOUR EYES.
IT ISN'T THAT SIMPLE
ANYMORE.
DON'T YOU SEE
ZAD'S KNIGHTS?
GET OUT
OF MY WAY.
I TOLD YOU WE'D KILL
BEFORE WE'D LET THIS CONTINUE.
GET AWAY --
WE'VE GOT WORK TO DO!
I WON'T LET YOU DESTROY
THIS LAND.
YOUR PEOPLE NEED A LESSON
IN SOME MANNERS.
I'LL TEACH YOU
TO SHOW KING ZAD SOME RESPECT.
GET OFF ME!
DON'T
TOUCH HER!
LET GO!
DON'T
TOUCH HER!
AREN'T YOU MEN A LONG WAY
FROM XINCA?
Warrior:
GET HIM!
BEASTMASTER, BEHIND YOU.
BEASTMASTER!
INTERESTING.
KING ZAD WILL PAY HANDSOMELY
FOR YOU.
I COULD KILL YOU RIGHT NOW.
YOU THINK
YOU'RE QUICK ENOUGH?
I COULD KILL THEM.
YOU'RE WORTH MORE TO ME ALIVE.
LET THEM GO.
THEY'RE TROUBLEMAKERS --
I NEED TO MAKE AN EXAMPLE.
WE DON'T HAVE TIME.
KING ZAD WANTS HIS LOGS
IN A HURRY, REMEMBER?
RIGHT YOU ARE, MIKA.
WE'LL PUT THEM TO WORK.
WE'LL NEVER CUT TREES
FOR YOU.
TELL HER TO BE REASONABLE,
BEASTMASTER.
WHAT WOULD
YOU DO?
WHATEVER IS NECESSARY
TO STOP YOU.
YOU WOULD DIE
TO SAVE SOME TREES.
THE FOREST IS MORE THAN TREES.
IT PROVIDES A HOME
FOR THE ANIMALS THAT LIVE IN IT.
LOCK THEM UP.
TAKE THE OTHERS
BACK TO THE TREES.
WORK THEM 'TIL THEY DROP.
ALL OF THEM.
WHAT?
I SAID
YOUR PEOPLE NEED A LESSON.
YOU'RE NO EXCEPTION.
YOU'RE NOTHING MORE
THAN A STRONG BACK.
THAT'S ALL YOU'LL EVER BE --
GET MOVING.
COME ON, KEEP MOVING.
MOVE, COME ON.
GET IN THERE.
HOW MANY GUARDS?
THREE,
MAYBE FOUR.
WE CAN TAKE THEM.
THEN WHAT?
THEN WE RESCUE MIKA
AND THE OTHERS.
WHERE DO
WE GO?
THERE'S NOWHERE
TO HIDE.
I'LL FIND YOU A NEW HOME.
THE ORLA HAVE ALWAYS LIVED HERE.
THIS LAND NEEDS
TIME TO HEAL.
WE MUST FIND
YOU A PLACE
TO SUSTAIN
YOUR PEOPLE,
AND MIKA'S,
FOR A LONG TIME TO COME.
MIKA WOULD
JUST DESTROY
A NEW LAND.
HA, HA, HA.
I THINK HE JUST LEARNED
THAT HIS FUTURE WORKING
FOR ZAD IS OVER.
HOW CAN YOU KNOW THAT?
I KNOW HIS FAMILY.
THEY'RE GOOD PEOPLE.
Tao:
THAT'S NICE.
I THINK WE NEED
TO GET OUT OF HERE.
DO YOU HAVE ANY HERBS?
YEAH, SURE,
WHAT DO YOU NEED?
[ Tao chuckling ]
I HAVE EXACTLY
WHAT YOU NEED.
UGH!
MOVE, MOVE!
Tao:
GUARDS, GUARDS!
GUARDS, GUARDS!
WHAT
DO YOU WANT?
PLEASE HELP ME --
THIS MAN IS SICK.
HE'S SWEATING
AND CONVULSING.
I DON'T KNOW HOW TO HELP HIM.
IT'LL BE MY HEAD ON ZAD'S
PLATTER IF THIS MAN DIES.
STAND ASIDE!
MOVE!
WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU --
GET UP!
LET'S GO.
YOU'VE MADE
AN AMAZING RECOVERY.
[ Sharak shrilling ]
[ shrilling ]
SHARAK'S GOING TO FIND
A NEW HOME FOR YOUR FAMILY.
THANK YOU.
LET'S GO FIND YOUR BROTHER.
[ cracking ]
Overseer:
I SAID MOVE!
[ men grunting ]
COME ON!
[ whip cracking ]
THIS IS FAR ENOUGH.
THIS TREE.
YOU MIGHT WANT
TO STAND BACK.
AHHH!
WHEW.
THIS WAY.
WE'LL COME BACK
FOR THE OTHERS.
[ shrilling ]
[ shrilling ]
WHAT DID YOU FIND?
WELL DONE, MY FRIEND,
WELL DONE.
SHARAK'S FOUND A PLACE
DEEP IN THE FOREST FOR YOU.
GREAT --
MORE TREES
FOR MIKA
TO CUT DOWN.
IT'S A LONG VALLEY
WITH A RIVER RUNNING THROUGH IT.
A CLIFF FACE THAT GLOWS RED
FROM THE EVENING SUN.
WEST OF HERE.
Alima:
WE MUST CROSS KUNJA BOG.
Tao:
KUNJA BOG?
Mika:
I'VE HEARD MANY HAVE FAILED
TO CROSS IT.
Alima:
MY FATHER SHOWED IT
TO ME ONCE.
I STEPPED
WHERE HE WARNED ME NOT TO.
HE GRABBED ME OR I WOULD
HAVE BEEN SUCKED DOWN.
ISN'T THERE
ANY OTHER WAY?
Dar:
CAN YOU GUIDE US THROUGH?
I'LL GUIDE YOU,
NOT HIM.
Mika:
YOU LEAVE OUR PEOPLE
TO BE LOKAR'S SLAVES?
HOW WOULD I KNOW YOU WOULDN'T DO
THE SAME THING IN A NEW LAND?
ENOUGH!
IF YOU DON'T MAKE PEACE AND
START OVER, IT'LL BE THE END
OF THE ORLAS.
Mika:
I UNDERSTAND NOW.
ZAD'S WAY IS NOT THE FUTURE.
NO MORE TRADING
OR CUTTING UP THE TREES.
IF THERE'S A NEW KING,
WILL YOU CHANGE YOUR MIND?
YOU MUST TRUST EACH OTHER.
[ laughing ]
WHAT ABOUT
THE AURYX?
CAN YOU STAY HERE
AND KEEP LOOKING FOR HER?
I THOUGHT YOU'D
ASK ME THAT.
IF I CAN'T REUNITE MY FAMILY,
BALCIFER WILL WIN.
BE CAREFUL -- LOKAR'S MEN
WILL BE COMBING THE FOREST.
THANK YOU.
THE KUNJA BOG.
LOOKS LIKE ORDINARY FOREST,
BUT ONE FALSE STEP
AND IT'LL SUCK YOU
INTO ITS HEART -- WHOA!
IT'S GROWN.
IT'S BIGGER.
THIS USED TO BE SOLID GROUND.
HOW COULD IT
HAVE GROWN?
EVERYTHING'S CHANGED
SINCE YOUR CUTTING BEGAN.
RIVERS ARE SWOLLEN,
GROUND'S WASHED AWAY.
YOU BLAME ME
FOR ALL THE ILLS OF THE WORLD,
EVEN THE KUNJA BOG,
WHICH WAS HERE
BEFORE OUR ANCESTORS.
Dar:
THE LAND'S CONNECTED.
WHAT YOU DO TO ONE PART
AFFECTS THE REST.
ARE YOU READY?
PERHAPS SHE'S FRIGHTENED.
PERHAPS I'LL TAKE YOU ACROSS
AND LEAVE YOU ON THE OTHER SIDE.
[ cracking ]
WHERE ARE
THEY NOW?
THEY SPLIT UP.
THE BEASTMASTER'S
AT THE KUNJA BOG.
THE OTHER ONE'S TRACKING
THE AURYX.
AURYX?
IT'S A BIRD,
A VERY RARE BIRD.
REALLY?
IT MUST BE
VALUABLE.
WAIT, YOU'RE
TOO FAST!
WORKING FOR LOKAR'S
MADE YOU CLUMSY AND SLOW.
A TRUE ORLA COULD CROSS.
I CAN'T SEE
YOUR FOOTSTEPS.
I'M NOT STOPPING
BECAUSE YOU CAN'T KEEP UP.
BE CAREFUL --
ONE WRONG--
Mika:
YOU WANT TO KILL ME.
Alima:
SHUT UP AND CONCENTRATE!
Dar:
STOP ARGUING.
IT'S DANGEROUS ENOUGH.
CAN YOU FIND A WAY?
Alima:
I THOUGHT THIS WAS IT.
OKAY.
IT'S OKAY!
ALIMA, DON'T MOVE --
WE'LL GET TO YOU.
MIKA, GRAB HER.
I CAN'T MAKE IT
THAT FAR.
CAN YOU
REACH HER?
NO, I CAN'T.
ALIMA!
[ panting ]
[ groaning ]
I WON'T LET YOU GO.
[ both grunting ]
HOLD ON!
AHHH!
HOLD ON.
KODO, PODO.
I NEED YOUR HELP.
HOLD ON!
[ grunting ]
KODO, PODO!
GET THE VINE!
[ groaning ]
HURRY!
Dar:
HURRY, HURRY!
[ groaning ]
MIKA!
PULL!
ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?
ORLA WARRIORS AREN'T SUPPOSED
TO WEEP.
NONE OF THEM
FOUGHT
THE KUNJA BOG
AND SURVIVED.
LOKAR?
WHAT DO YOU WANT HERE?
YOU.
ME, WHY?
YOU'RE LOOKING FOR A BIRD --
I WANT TO HELP YOU FIND IT.
I DON'T WANT YOUR HELP.
LET'S DO THIS TOGETHER.
YOU FIND THE BIRD;
I SELL IT -- I'M A TRADER.
IT GIVES YOU THE RIGHT
TO STRIP THE FOREST.
PEOPLE LIVE HERE.
THAT WAY OF LIFE IS DEAD --
AS DEAD AS THIS FOREST
WHEN I'M FINISHED WITH IT.
YOU JUST WALK AWAY.
YOU DON'T CARE
ABOUT WHAT HARM YOU CAUSE.
I'M NOT THE CAUSE.
I'M MERELY GIVE PEOPLE
WHAT THEY WANT.
IF I DIDN'T DO IT,
SOMEONE ELSE WOULD.
NO ONE WANTS
THIS.
NO ONE WANTS
DEAD LAND.
ARE YOU SURE?
SINCE ZAD BROUGHT WEALTH
AND PRIVILEGE TO XINCA,
PEOPLE WANT EVERYTHING:
FURS,
CREATURES TO KEEP IN CAGES.
GRAND CITIES WHERE ONE MAN
WASTES ENOUGH FOR TEN.
Tao:
IT DOESN'T HAVE
TO BE LIKE THIS.
YOU THINK NOT?
WHY IS THERE SUCH A DARKNESS
OVER THE LAND,
NOT JUST HERE
BUT EVERYWHERE?
I'VE SEEN IT,
SO HAVE YOU.
EVIL STANDS ASTRIDE THE WORLD.
FIGHT IT.
YOU FIGHT IT.
I DON'T HAVE SUCH ARROGANCE.
I DO WHAT I CAN
TO SURVIVE.
I ADVISE YOU DO AS WELL.
WE CAN MAKE THIS WORLD
A PARADISE AGAIN.
DON'T BE SUCH A DREAMER.
ONCE PEOPLE TASTE LUXURY,
THEY WON'T LIVE
OFF THE LAND.
WORK WITH ME.
I'LL MAKE YOU RICH.
NEVER.
REALLY, TAO,
YOU SHOULD BE MORE FLEXIBLE.
YOU CAN'T SAY
I DIDN'T GIVE YOU A CHANCE.
TAKE HIM AWAY.
THIS TIME MAKE SURE
HE STAYS LOCKED UP.
BOTH OF YOU CAN FIND
A HOME HERE,
IF YOU CAN LIVE
WITH EACH OTHER.
WE WERE
ONE PEOPLE
WHEN FATHER
WAS ALIVE.
WE LIVED
THE OLD WAYS.
Alima:
WE CAN REBUILD
OUR VILLAGE HERE.
BEGIN AGAIN.
CAN YOU LIVE
WITH THE OLD WAYS?
I'VE FORGOTTEN
MANY OF THEM.
WILL YOU HELP HIM REMEMBER?
[ Sharak shrilling ]
Dar:
ZAD'S KNIGHTS ARE AFTER US.
ALL OF THEM?
AGAINST
THREE OF US?
WE'RE NOT ALONE.
WE HAVE THE FORESTS
AND THE BOG.
[ growling ]
AND MY FRIENDS.
Dar:
LOKAR?
BEASTMASTER.
JUST THE MAN
I'M LOOKING FOR.
HERE I AM.
WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR,
FOOLS, GET HIM!
OHHH!
BEASTMASTER?
OVER HERE!
Lokar:
LEAVE HIM.
GET THE BEASTMASTER.
LOKAR?
UGH!
I'VE HAD ENOUGH OF THIS GAME.
NOW, YOU COME
TO ME.
WHY WOULD I WANT
TO DO THAT?
I HAVE SOMETHING --
SOMEONE --
VERY IMPORTANT TO YOU.
YOU RECOGNIZE THIS?
WHERE IS HE?
BRING HIM OUT.
SORRY, DAR.
WHAT DO YOU WANT, LOKAR?
MIKA AND I HAD A DEAL.
I HAVE A CONTRACT
WITH KING ZAD.
ZAD'S PROMISES ARE EMPTY,
LIKE YOURS.
IT'S JUST BUSINESS.
MIKA PROMISED US LOGS --
I CAN'T GIVE THEM UP
WITHOUT COMPENSATION.
WHAT DO YOU WANT?
I COULD TRY TO GET YOU BACK
TO KING ZAD,
BUT MIKA'S RIGHT --
HE'S A LIAR AND A CHEAT.
THE GOLDEN AURYX,
HOWEVER,
WOULD BE VALUABLE IN TRADE --
BRING IT TO ME,
OTHERWISE HE DIES.
I TOLD YOU BEFORE,
THE BIRD'S GONE.
SURELY THE BEASTMASTER
COULD FIND ONE.
I'LL GO AND LOOK.
I HOPE FOR YOUR SAKE
HE FINDS THE BIRD.
I HOPE
HE DOESN'T.
[ growling ]
I WAS HOPING I'D FIND YOU HERE.
DON'T WORRY,
I WON'T HURT HIM.
HE'S MY INSURANCE.
I DON'T
TRUST YOU.
I'M GETTING IMPATIENT.
FIND THE BEASTMASTER
AND TELL HIM TO HURRY.
HE WON'T GIVE
IT TO YOU.
YOU'LL DIE.
LOKAR?
BEASTMASTER!
WHERE'S MY BIRD?
I TOLD YOU,
THEY'RE GONE.
SHE'S SAFE.
FOLLOW ME.
I'LL SHOW YOU
WHERE SHE IS.
IF THIS IS A TRICK,
YOUR FRIEND WILL DIE.
ALL RIGHT,
WHERE IS IT?
THIS IS
WHERE THEY NEST.
LEAVE THEM
IN PEACE.
LEAVE THIS PLACE
AS IT IS.
I EARN NOTHING THAT WAY.
Dar:
THIS COULD BE THE LAST NESTING
GROUND OF THE GOLDEN AURYX.
IF IT'S GONE,
THEY'RE GONE.
Lokar:
ONLY FROM THE FOREST,
WHERE NO ONE SEES THEM.
I'LL TELL YOU WHAT.
I'LL HAVE ONE STUFFED
AND HANG IT OVER ZAD'S THRONE.
ARE YOU EVEN SURE
THEY'RE HERE?
I SAW THREE
YESTERDAY.
I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU SAW.
BEASTMASTER!
Dar:
THERE.
DOWN OVER HERE.
COME ON.
[ chuckling ]
[ growling ]
[ yelling ]
YOU THINK
RUH WILL KILL HIM?
HE'S JUST
PLAYING WITH HIM.
LET'S GO.
[ growling ]
AHH!
[ growling ]
[ panting ]
[ growling ]
HELP!
THIS IS WHERE I SAW HER.
WE'RE TOO LATE.
I HAVE SOMETHING
TO SHOW YOU.
THIS IS A VERY SPECIAL NEST.
ONLY THE ORLA KNEW ABOUT IT,
UNTIL NOW.
IT'S BEAUTIFUL.
AMAZING.
IT'S MORE THAN THAT.
IT'S THE HOME
OF THE GOLDEN AURYX.
I KNOW YOU GAVE UP
YOUR SEARCH THIS YEAR,
BUT YOU HELPED US FIND PEACE.
SO, WHEN THEY RETURN...
I'LL KNOW WHERE TO FIND HER.
I HOPE YOU AND YOUR FAMILY
WILL BE HAPPY HERE.
WE WILL BE --
THANK YOU.
MAKU WANTS TO GO WITH YOU.
HE NEEDS A NEW HOME TOO.
