BeastMaster (1999–2002): Season 3, Episode 15 - Sisters - full transcript

[ buzzing ]

Tao:
THIS WAS CARVED
BY VERY CLEVER STONECUTTERS.

THIS IS PART OF A STAIRCASE --
I WONDER WHO BUILT IT.

Dar:
IT'S HARD TO TELL --
THERE'S NOT THAT MUCH LEFT.

A PART OF A GREAT CITY?

ONCE, MAYBE.

NOW THE FOREST'S
RECLAIMED IT.

[ growling ]
[ sighing ]

[ shrilling ]

WE SHOULD BE GETTING CLOSE
TO ELDAR'S CITY.

HOW DO YOU KNOW -- THERE'S
NO MARKINGS ON THESE STONES.



I CAN FEEL IT.
I HOPE SO.

WE COULD USE MORE INFORMATION --
A STONE TABLET OR A SCROLL.

I DON'T KNOW IF WE'LL FIND
ALL YOUR FAMILY, BUT...

THE CLOSER WE GET,
THE HARDER IT GETS.

[ puffing ]

AHH!

OW!

AHH!

[ grunting ]

[ grunting ]

OW!

[ moaning ]

[ chuckling ]

[ panting ]



[ moaning ]

[ groaning ]
[ grunting ]

I'LL KILL HER.

[ moaning ]
LET HER GO.

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.

BACK OFF!

GOOD.

NOW, GO.

I'M GOING TO COUNT TO FIVE,
THEN I'LL PICK IT UP.

YOU DO AND SHE DIES.

I DON'T THINK SO.

ONE, TWO...

THREE, FOUR...

[ moaning ]

[ grunting ]

[ moaning ]

[ moaning ]

[ panting ]

ARE YOU
ALL RIGHT?

NO --
IT'S MY ARM.

CAN YOU TAKE
CARE OF HER?

GO, GO.

LET'S HAVE A LOOK.

[ panting ]

[ panting ]

[ panting ]

[ moaning ]

[ hissing ]

I CAN'T MOVE
MY ARM.

HMM, YOUR SHOULDER'S OUT.

YOU'RE GOING TO BE OKAY,
BUT THIS IS GOING TO HURT.

SISTERS.

I'M READY.

OW!

[ all moaning ]

THERE,
YOU SHOULD BE FINE NOW.

[ giggling ]

IT DOESN'T EVEN
HURT.

WHAT
DID YOU DO?
MY GRANDMOTHER
TAUGHT ME THAT.

ANYTHING ELSE?

SHE TAUGHT ME MANY THINGS.

I'VE LEARNED MORE SINCE THEN.

I LIKE
TO EXPERIMENT.
YOU'RE
A SCHOLAR.

YES.

YES, I AM.

WE DON'T MEET MANY LIKE YOU.

WILL YOU TEACH US
WHAT YOU KNOW?

[ panting ]

UGH --
OHH!

[ groaning ]

[ growling ]

THANKS.

I DON'T THINK
HE'LL BOTHER HER AGAIN.

[ grunting ]

GO!

[ grunting ]

[ grunting ]

GET IN THERE!

[ grunting ]

COME ON, FIGHT!

ANY OF YOU WANT
TO TEST MY BLADE?

COME ON.

I BARELY GOT MY SWORD WET.

[ grunting ]

YOU WANT
WHAT YOUR FRIENDS GOT?

[ muttering ]

I DIDN'T START
ANYTHING.

NICE BLADE.

THEY ASKED
FOR TROUBLE.

A COSTLY MISTAKE.

ONLY SIX AGAINST ONE.

WHAT DO THEY CALL YOU?

KERIK.

I'VE BEEN LOOKING
FOR A MAN LIKE YOU...

...KERIK.

WHY WOULD I WANT
TO DO BUSINESS

WITH A MAN
LIKE YOU?

LET'S SAY THERE ARE...
OPPORTUNITIES, ODD JOBS.

BUT IF YOU'RE NOT INTERESTED...

I DIDN'T SAY
THAT.

I ALREADY WORK
FOR KING ZAD.

IF YOU'RE HAPPY BEING
A PAID KNIGHT IN ZAD'S ARMY.

IN MY SERVICE,
YOU'LL BE A GENERAL.

IF I LIVE.

I KNEW YOU WEREN'T JUST GOOD
WITH A SWORD.

SLYTHIUS,
PLEASE, SIRE.

TARBOK.

WHY IS A KNIGHT OF XINCA
DISTURBING ME?

THERE'S SOMETHING
I MUST ASK YOU.

WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU?

I SPOTTED THE BEASTMASTER.

IT APPEARS
HE SPOTTED YOU TOO.

WHAT ABOUT MY REWARD?

WHAT ABOUT IT, KERIK?

SHOULD WE REWARD THIS KNIGHT

FOR REPORTING
TO HIS BETTERS?

WE COULD LET HIM LIVE.

AND WHAT REWARD
COULD BE SWEETER?

IF YOU WANT TO KEEP BREATHING
THROUGH THAT UGLY MOUTH,

TELL ME WHAT YOU SAW.

I'LL DECIDE IF YOUR NEWS
IS WORTH BOTHERING THE KING.

BY THE TOWERS
OF ELOR,

THERE WAS
THIS GIRL.

ISN'T THERE ALWAYS?

THE BEASTMASTER
TO THE RESCUE.

SHE DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING,
DIDN'T SCREAM.

HOW WOULD ANYONE KNOW
SHE NEEDED HELP?

THE BEASTMASTER HAS FRIENDS.

I SUPPOSE A LITTLE BIRD SAW YOU,
OR A TIGER, A RAT.

NO, NOT HIM.

THE OTHER GIRLS.
WHAT ARE YOU
SAYING?

WHAT...GIRLS?

THEY CAME RUNNING.

THEY KNEW I WAS THERE,
BUT SHE NEVER SCREAMED.

WHAT DID THESE...GIRLS
LOOK LIKE?

DRESSED IN WHITE.

FANCY BRACELETS.

BRACELETS?

[ choking ]

THIS ONE.

SO, IT'S TRUE.

YOU RECOGNIZE IT?

OH, YES.

BUT I THOUGHT
IT WAS ONLY A LEGEND.

THEN IT'S WORTH SOMETHING
TO KING ZAD.

BY THE TOWERS
OF ELOR, YOU SAY.

THIS INFORMATION

IS MOST VALUABLE,

WOULDN'T YOU SAY, KERIK?

AHH!

TOO BAD HE DIED BEFORE
TELLING US ANYTHING USEFUL.

[ chattering ]

THIS IS OUR CLOISTER, WHERE
WE LEARN AND LIVE TOGETHER.

AND
YOUR FAMILIES?

WE ARE A FAMILY.

WE SERVE THE VELLA.

WHO'S THAT?

VELLA IS WISDOM.

MY SISTERS AND I STUDY AND
PRESERVE WHAT KNOWLEDGE WE CAN.

THE WORLD IS SLIDING
INTO DARKNESS.

I'VE NOTICED.

PEOPLE HAVE FORGOTTEN MUCH.

ZAD'S ARMIES LEAVE BEHIND
ONLY FEAR AND IGNORANCE.

Tao:
NOT ONLY ZAD.

MANY HAVE FOLLOWED
THE TERRON ARMIES

AND WIPED OUT COUNTLESS
CIVILIZATIONS, INCLUDING MY OWN.

EIRON.

[ all gasping ]

Ilira:
EIRON KNOWLEDGE IS LEGEND.

MOST OF WHAT THEY KNEW
IS LOST.

YOU'RE AMONG THE LAST
OF YOUR KIND.

TAO IS DEFINITELY
ONE OF A KIND.

Ilira:
YOU MUST TEACH US
EVERYTHING YOU KNOW.

WE'LL PRESERVE THAT KNOWLEDGE.

WE'RE SWORN TO PROTECT IT
AT ANY COST.

THERE'S A RUIN NEAR HERE.

WAS IT A TEMPLE
OR A PALACE?

[ gasping ]

DO YOU KNOW ANYTHING
ABOUT ELDAR?

THE OLD KING?
[ gasping ]

WHY DO YOU SEEK TO KNOW
ABOUT ELDAR?

WE'VE BEEN SEARCHING FOR--

WE'VE HEARD
STORIES,

HOW THINGS WERE
BEFORE HIS FAMILY WAS KILLED.

I LOVE TO LEARN --
CURIOUS ALWAYS.

MAYBE THERE'S SOMETHING
IN YOUR ARCHIVES

THAT COULD CLARIFY THE PAST.

All:
HMM.

STAY WITH US TONIGHT.

IN THE MORNING,
WE WILL LOOK.

IN THE MEANTIME, YOU CAN TELL ME
MORE ABOUT THE EIRON WAYS.

Tao:
AHH, EIRON WAYS.

[ chattering ]

Kerik:
YOU WANT ME
TO FIND THIS BUNCH OF WOMEN?

THE SISTERS OF VELLA
ARE A SACRED ORDER.

THEY WERE THOUGHT LOST,
DESTROYED.

BY KING ZAD?

THERE ARE DARK FORCES
AT WORK THESE DAYS, KERIK.

MANY OF THEM MORE POWERFUL
EVEN THAN KING ZAD.

THIS BRACELET ALONE
I MIGHT HAVE DISMISSED,

BUT THAT DEAD FOOL SAID
HE SAW THEM COME RUNNING

AND NO ONE CALLED.

THAT'S THE VELLA.

YOU'D DO WELL
TO BE ON YOUR GUARD.

AGAINST GIRLS
WITH BRACELETS?

DON'T UNDERESTIMATE THEM.

THEY'RE NOT PRONE

TO LETTING ANYTHING OR ANYONE
ESCAPE THEIR GRASP.

I'LL BE BACK.

THAT'S WHY I'M SENDING YOU.

WHAT AM I
LOOKING FOR?

A MAP, OLTRAM'S MAP.

WHY IS IT IMPORTANT?

WHEN I WAS A YOUNG MAN,

THE NAME OF OLTRAM STRUCK FEAR
AND AWE IN EVERY BREAST.

THAT'S BEFORE I WAS BORN.

JUST GET ME
THE MAP.

AND IF THE BEASTMASTER'S THERE?

HE'S NOT YOUR PROBLEM NOW.

ONCE I HAVE THAT MAP,

HE WON'T BE ANYONE'S PROBLEM
ANYMORE.

THESE WOMEN
ARE STRANGE.

YEAH, THEY'RE STRANGE;
THEY'RE LIKE ME.

THEY'RE NOTHING
LIKE YOU.

THEY WANT TO KNOW
HOW THE WORLD WORKS,

HOW TO PRESERVE CIVILIZATION.

THEY HAVE AN ARCHIVE
OF EVERYTHING THEY'VE SAVED.

HAVE YOU
SEEN IT?

NO, NOT YET,

BUT I WILL.

MAYBE TODAY.

CAN YOU IMAGINE
WHAT I COULD LEARN?

PACK RATS
DON'T LIKE TO SHARE.

NOT EVEN WITH
OTHER PACK RATS?

IF ELDAR'S SOOTHSAYER SURVIVED,

HE COULD HAVE HIDDEN HERE.

HE WOULD HAVE TAUGHT THE VELLA
EVERYTHING.

THEY CAN TEACH ME.

[ squealing ]

[ chattering ]

[ angry buzzing ]

[ squealing ]

PODO, PODO, PODO.

HE LOVES THE HONEY
BUT FORGETS ABOUT THE STINGERS.

CAN'T YOU TELL THE BEES
THAT PODO MEANT NO HARM?

BEES DON'T THINK

THE SAME WAY
THAT WE DO.

THEY'RE CONNECTED
TO EACH OTHER,

LIKE YOUR TOES AND FINGERS
ARE CONNECTED TO YOU.

WHICH ONE
IS THE BRAIN?

THE QUEEN.

SHE DOESN'T LEAVE
THE HIVE.

YOU'RE HIM.

THE BEASTMASTER.

THE BEASTMASTER HAS COME.

I MUST HAVE WHAT HE KNOWS.

THE VELLA WISHES TO LEARN
FROM YOU.

I'D LIKE TO ASK HER
A FEW THINGS.

Tao:
ABOUT OLTRAM,
ELDAR'S SOOTHSAYER.

YOU KNOW
OF OLTRAM?

Dar:
YES.

DID HE COME TO YOU FOR SHELTER?

HE HAD MUCH KNOWLEDGE
TO SHARE.

REALLY?

DID HE SAY ANYTHING
ABOUT ELDAR'S FAMILY?

ELDAR'S ENTIRE HOUSEHOLD
WAS DESTROYED.

OLTRAM WAS THE ONLY ONE
WHO ESCAPED.

Vella:
WHAT HE KNEW
WILL NEVER BE LOST.

WHAT DID YOU
LEARN?

LET US LEARN FROM YOU,
BEASTMASTER.

LET US PROTECT
WHAT YOU KNOW.

[ panting ]

[ groaning ]

[ screaming ]

[ all screaming ]

Dar:
WHAT IS IT?

OUR SISTER IS IN DANGER.

HOW DO
YOU KNOW?

[ screaming ]

WHERE IS SHE?

[ screaming ]

SHE CAN'T SEE.

[ screaming ]

HE'S VERY STRONG.

BRANCHES HITTING HER.

WHERE?

WE CAN'T TELL
YOU IN WORDS.

IT'S AS IF THEY SHARE
A SINGLE MIND.

SHARAK!

[ shrilling ]

[ screaming ]

[ shrilling ]

FOLLOW ME.

GO.

[ panting ]

[ girl wailing ]

BEASTMASTER.

HOW DID YOU CALL FOR HELP?

WE'RE IN EACH
OTHER'S MINDS.

THE VELLA.

SLYTHIUS WAS TELLING
THE TRUTH.

LET HER GO.

IT'S TOO BAD
YOU SURPRISED ME.

I NEED A BIT MORE TIME.

SORRY I CAN'T STAY.

NO!

[ panting ]

DO WHAT YOU CAN.

[ panting ]

[ panting ]

BEASTMASTER,

HOW COULD YOU
KNOW I WAS HERE?

THERE ARE TOADS
THAT LOOK LIKE STONES.

SNAKES THAT LOOK LIKE LEAVES.

YOU JUST HAVE TO KNOW
HOW TO SEE THEM.

DON'T MAKE THIS
A FIGHT

YOU CAN'T WIN.

WHY DID YOU KILL HER?

DID ZAD SEND YOU?

SHE WAS SNOOPING AROUND.

DON'T MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE.

STAY ALIVE, GO.

THIS ISN'T BETWEEN US.

YOU'VE MADE IT BETWEEN US.

WHEN I FINISH, I'LL LEAVE --
I HAVE A JOB TO DO.

SO DO I.
TO PROTECT
EVERYONE?

[ screeching ]

YOU'RE NOT THE ONLY ONE

WHO KNOWS
HOW TO FIND HIDDEN THINGS.

WEREN'T YOU SUPPOSED
TO PROTECT THESE?

[ gasping ]

A LITTLE TWIST, A SNAP...

ONE LESS CREATURE
TO WORRY ABOUT.

YOU CANNOT ENTER.

UNLESS YOU BELONG
TO THE ORDER.

THIS ISN'T WORKING OUT.

I THOUGHT THE SISTERS
WERE SCHOLARS LIKE ME.

I THOUGHT I WOULDN'T BE ALONE,

TRYING TO UNDERSTAND THIS WORLD,
BY SHARING OUR KNOWLEDGE.

BUT I'M STILL ALONE.

WHATEVER KNOWLEDGE
THE SISTERS HAVE,

THEY DON'T WANT TO SHARE IT --
I'M NOT ONE OF THEM.

I'M TELLING THIS TO A FERRET --
YOU PROBABLY DON'T UNDERSTAND.

WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?

WHAT HAVE YOU GOT THERE?

HERE, GIVE IT.

WHERE DID YOU FIND THIS?

LOOK AT THIS.

IT'S JUST SITTING HERE.

HEY, HEY --
UH-UH-UH.

THIS IS AN ARTIFACT.

IT NEEDS TO BE STUDIED,
TRANSLATED.

WHAT'S THIS?

A WOLF, A HORSE, A TIGER.

THIS IS DAR'S FAMILY.

THAT'S WHERE HE PUT
THE CRYSTAL ARK.

OHH,
I DIDN'T WANT TO KNOW THAT.

[ sighing ]

DAR'S BROTHER.

THE ELUSIVE GOAT.

HOW DID YOU GET
ALL THE WAY UP THERE?

I HAVE TO SHOW THIS TO DAR.

TAO, COME WITH ME.

I CAN'T
RIGHT NOW.

IT'S TIME FOR YOU
TO JOIN US,

TO BECOME PART
OF THE VELLA.

TO SHARE WITH US
WHAT YOU KNOW.

I MUST FIND DAR.

PLEASE.

YOU MUST TEACH US.

I CAN'T RIGHT NOW.

THE VELLA NEEDS YOU NOW.

UGH!

[ choking ]

WELCOME TO THE ORDER.

I HAVE TO FIND DAR.

[ groaning ]

WHAT'S THAT STUFF
YOU GAVE ME?

AN ANCIENT FORMULA
KNOWN ONLY TO US.

I DON'T UNDERSTAND --
I'VE SEEN YOUR LIBRARY.

THERE'S SO MUCH THERE,
SO MUCH SCIENCE,

SO MUCH HISTORY.

PRESERVED FOR THE FUTURE.

LOST, UNTOUCHED, UNSTUDIED.

THE BARBARIANS WOULD BURN
EVERY WORD WE'VE SAVED.

IF YOU KEEP IT LOCKED AWAY,
IT MAY AS WELL BE BURNED.

IT'S NOT DOING
ANYONE ANY GOOD.
IT IS SAFE.

FOR WHO?

[ moaning ]

LOOK.

I FOUND A MAP IN THERE.

I CAN HELP DAR FIND HIS FAMILY

AND BRING THE WORLD BACK
FROM DARKNESS.

I MUST KEEP WHAT I HAVE.

WE CAN LIVE IN A WORLD

WHERE PEOPLE CARE
ABOUT KNOWLEDGE AND ITS USES.

I CARE.

THE SISTERS COLLECT KNOWLEDGE
FOR ME.

AZOLL GAVE ME THE KNOWLEDGE

OF ANCIENT LAWS.

DILETTO KNEW THE SECRETS
OF STONE AND METAL.

AZOLL, DILETTO.

THEIR KNOWLEDGE WAS LEGENDARY
AMONGST THE EIRONS.

OLTRAM TAUGHT ME
THE MAGICS OF ARAKANN.

THEY'RE ALL MEN.

WHAT DID YOU DO TO THEM?

I LEARNED FROM THEM...

[ panting ]

...AS I WILL NOW LEARN FROM YOU.

AHH!

AGHH!

[ women droning ]

[ groaning ]

[ panting ]

SORRY ABOUT
YOUR SISTER.

NO NEED FOR SORROW --
SHE'S STILL WITH US.

IT'S GOOD TO BELIEVE.

IT'S NOT SOMETHING
I BELIEVE;

IT'S SOMETHING I KNOW.

DID YOU FIND THE STRANGER?

HE'S A DEADLY SWORDSMAN
IN ZAD'S ARMY.

HE'LL STOP AT NOTHING
TO GET WHAT HE WANTS.

WHERE'S TAO?

HE'S NOT WITH YOU?

HE WAS TO STAY HERE.

HE SAID HE WAS GOING
TO FIND YOU.

WE'LL LOOK FOR HIM.

WHERE DID THEY TAKE HIM?

UHH!

[ exhaling ]

[ quick panting ]

YOU MISSED.

COULD I LEARN THAT?

WHAT DO YOU WANT?

I WAS BORN TO FIND THOSE
THAT HAVE MASTERED A SKILL

AND LEARN
FROM THEM.

ARE YOU CRAZY?

YOU'LL GET YOURSELF KILLED
SURPRISING STRANGERS.

WAS IT YOU...

WHO KILLED MY SISTER?

IF YOU'RE HERE FOR REVENGE,
FORGET IT.

YOU DON'T HAVE A CHANCE.

Ilira:
OUR BODIES DON'T MATTER;

ONLY OUR KNOWLEDGE.

WHAT MY SISTERS HAVE LEARNED
WILL LIVE ON WITH US.

WHAT I LEARN
WILL LIVE ON WITH THEM.

WE USE OUR BODIES
TO LEARN WHAT WE CAN.

I CAN TEACH YOU, BUT THERE'S
SOMETHING YOU CAN SHOW ME.

[ panting ]

I'M LOOKING FOR MY FRIEND.

HE MAY BE HERE.

EXCUSE ME, PLEASE.

[ humming ]

JUST SHIFT OFF TO THE SIDE --
THE GUY COMING AT YOU MUST MOVE.

NOW YOUR LEGS
AREN'T UNDER YOU ANYMORE.

YOU'RE EASY.

UGH!

[ grunting ]

COME FOR ME.

DON'T WORRY.

[ grunting ]

THAT WAS CLEVER.

NOW IT'S YOUR TURN
TO TEACH ME SOMETHING.

[ grunting ]

TELL ME
WHERE TO FIND OLTRAM'S MAP.

WE NEVER TELL
OUR SECRETS.

THIS IS A GREAT TIME
TO CHANGE THAT.

YOU DON'T WANT TO DIE
FOR SOME OLD MAP.

IT DOESN'T MATTER
IF YOU KILL MY BODY.

WHAT YOU TAUGHT ME,
THE VELLA WILL HAVE FOREVER.

TELL ME
WHERE IT IS!
I'M NOT TELLING
YOU ANYTHING!

[ grunting ]

[ humming ]

TAO, TAO.

TAO.

WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO HIM?

TAO HAD MUCH
TO TEACH ME.

AND THIS IS
WHAT HE GETS IN RETURN?

CHANGE HIM BACK.

KILL ME AND WE ALL DIE.

EVERYTHING I'VE LEARNED
GOES WITH ME.

ILIRA AND OLTRAM

AND TAO --
IT'S ALL ME NOW.

THIS IS
HOW YOU GAIN YOUR KNOWLEDGE?

TAO IS MORE
THAN JUST WHAT HE KNOWS.

HE HAS A SMILE,
A SPIRIT, A LIFE FORCE.

HIS KNOWLEDGE IS ONE SMALL PART
OF WHO HE IS.

YOU OF ALL PEOPLE, BEASTMASTER,
SHOULD KNOW

ONE DAY THE WORLD WILL EMERGE
FROM THIS AGE OF DARKNESS.

PEOPLE WILL NEED THE KNOWLEDGE
WE'VE SAVED.

THEY NEED THE KNOWLEDGE NOW.

[ growling ]

KILL ME AND IT'S ALL LOST,
INCLUDING TAO.

THEN,
LET HIM GO

AND LEARN
FROM ME INSTEAD.

[ humming ]

[ humming ]

[ humming stops ]

HA!

NOW YOU SEE.

IS THAT REALLY THE WORLD?

IT'S MY WORLD.

EVERYONE WHO HAS COME BEFORE ME
HAS BEEN AFRAID.

BUT YOU ARE NOT AFRAID.

YOU CAN'T LET FEAR
SHAPE THE WAY YOU LIVE.

THE KNOWLEDGE WE HAVE
SO CAREFULLY GATHERED--

YOU CAN'T HIDE IT AWAY,
WAITING FOR THE DARKNESS TO END.

ALL I HAVE EVER KNOWN
IS TO LEARN,

AND TO PROTECT WHAT I LEARN.

I UNDERSTAND, BUT EVERYTHING
HAS A REASON FOR BEING.

I CAN'T EXPECT A FISH
TO LIVE IN A TREE.

I CAN'T EXPECT A LEOPARD
NOT TO HUNT.

AND TAO?

HE HAS HIS REASONS TOO.

THE PRICE IS TOO HIGH.

DESTROYING SOMETHING
TO LEARN FROM IT.

TAO WOULD HAVE
TOLD YOU

ANYTHING YOU
WANTED TO KNOW.

THAT'S WHAT HE DOES --
HE'S A TEACHER.

THE WAY YOU TAUGHT ME,

NO ONE HAS EVER DONE THAT
BEFORE.

THE THINGS THAT YOU KNOW
AREN'T LIKE ANYTHING ELSE

I'VE EVER LEARNED.

YOU DON'T WANT TAO TO DIE.

NO, I DON'T.

[ crackling ]

SHOW ME WHERE YOU KEEP THE MAP
OR SHE DIES.

[ panting ]

DAR.

WHERE-- AM I OKAY?

YOU'RE FINE.

THE VELLA GAVE YOU
EVERYTHING BACK.

EVERYTHING,
RIGHT?

MAYBE EVEN A LITTLE BIT EXTRA.

I HAVE TO SHOW YOU THIS MAP.

IT SHOWS
WHERE DAR'S FAMILY IS:

A GOAT, THREE OTHER ANIMALS
AND EVEN DAR HIMSELF.

OLTRAM'S MAP.

OLTRAM
WAS MY FATHER'S SOOTHSAYER.

ELDAR WAS
YOUR FATHER?
YES.

OLTRAM COULDN'T SEE HIS
OWN DESTINY, BUT HE KNEW YOURS.

AND WHERE IS THAT?

YOU CAN'T HIDE EVERYTHING.

IF OLTRAM KNEW MY FUTURE,
SHOULDN'T I HAVE IT?

YOU'RE RIGHT.

IF I KEEP MY KNOWLEDGE SECRET,
IT MAY AS WELL NOT EXIST.

GO TO THE ARCHIVE --
YOU'LL FIND THE MAP THERE.

THE SISTERS WON'T STOP YOU.

HERE'S YOUR MAP.

NO ONE WILL STOP YOU NOW.

YOU WON'T
BELIEVE IT.
THANK YOU.

[ grunting ]

[ Kerik chuckling ]

Ilira:
THE SCROLLS, SAVE THEM!

[ all shouting ]

Ilira:
SAVE THEM -- HURRY!

[ panting ]

[ panting ]

[ growling ]

NOW IT'S BETWEEN US.

STICK WITH WHAT YOU'RE BEST AT.

LIVE A WHILE LONGER.

EVERYBODY HAS TO DIE.

[ yelling ]

[ grunting ]

THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IS WHY.

[ grunting ]

YOU SHOULD HAVE QUIT
WHEN YOU HAD THE CHANCE.

[ panting ]

TOO BAD, BEASTMASTER.

YOU'RE A WORTHY OPPONENT.

GO ON, KILL ME.

WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?

YOU DON'T WANT ME ALIVE
AND ON YOUR TRAIL.

AS MUCH AS I HATE TO ADMIT IT,
HE'S RIGHT.

IS HE?

HE'S SEEN OLTRAM'S MAP;
HE KNOWS WHERE THEY LIVE.

IF HE RETURNS TO XINCA,

HOW LONG BEFORE ZAD'S ARMY
DESTROYS IT ALL?

Dar:
IF HE DOESN'T RETURN TO XINCA,

HOW LONG BEFORE ZAD AND SLYTHIUS
SEND SOMEONE TO FIND HIM?

Tao:
I DON'T SEE
ANY OTHER OPTION.

Dar:
HE HAS TO VISIT THE VELLA.

Tao:
OH, JUST
A SIMPLE LITTLE PROCEDURE.

WE WON'T TAKE EVERYTHING
HE KNOWS,

JUST WHAT WE CAN'T LET
HIM KEEP.

UH.

THIS WON'T HURT A BIT.

[ panting ]

I SAID I'D COME BACK.

I REMEMBER
I SAID I'D COME BACK.

DID YOU FIND THEM --
WERE THEY THERE?

NO, NOTHING.

YOU LOOKED EVERYWHERE?

NO ONE LIVES OUT THERE.

YOU'RE SURE?

I WAS THERE --
THERE WAS NO ONE.

WHAT ABOUT THAT KNIGHT --
TARBOK?

THE BRACELET?

FACE IT, SLYTHIUS.

HE WAS TRYING TO CHEAT YOU
OUT OF A REWARD.

HE GOT WHAT HE DESERVED.

IMAGINE IF IT WERE TRUE...

...INSTEAD OF SOME

DAMNED PEASANT LEGEND.

YOU SHOULD
BE SAFE NOW.

IF ANYONE THREATENS YOU,

YOU'VE LEARNED TO FIGHT
FROM THE BEST.

Ilira:
WE WILL PROTECT OURSELVES.

Vella:
AFTER WHAT YOU SHOWED ME,
I ALMOST GOT YOU KILLED.

I WANTED TO SHARE EVERYTHING
WITH EVERYBODY.

YOU'VE LEARNED SOMETHING NEW.

IT'S HARD TO DECIDE
AHEAD OF TIME WHAT YOU'LL DO.

IF KING ZAD HAD THAT MAP,
HE COULD HUNT YOU DOWN ANYWHERE.

IT SHOULD BE DESTROYED

FOR YOUR SAFETY.

I CAN TAKE CARE OF MYSELF.

WHEN MY WORK IS DONE
I'LL RETURN FOR YOUR KNOWLEDGE.

GOODBYE.

THANK YOU.

Tao:
IT LOOKS LIKE YOUR BROTHER IS
IN THE FOOTHILLS.

LET'S BE READY
TO CLIMB.

WITH THIS MAP,
WE'LL FIND YOUR FAMILY QUICKLY.

IF WE CAN'T FIND THEM
RIGHT AWAY,

AT LEAST WE KNOW THEY'RE SAFE.
