ZAD'S MEN.
HOW CLOSE
ARE THEY?
CLOSER
THAN YOU THINK.
DARTANUS,
WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?
ARE YOU READY
TO FACE THE BIGGEST CHALLENGE
OF YOUR LIFE?
[ squeaking ]
RELAX,
IT'S JUST A VINE.

[ squeaking ]
HUH?
[ grunting ]
GRAB HIM!
YES, SIRE.
YOU BLOODY IDIOT!
UHH!
THERE HE IS!
GET HIM!
[ panting ]
ALL RIGHT, YOU GOT ME.
[ grunting ]
YEAH.
[ panting ]
Zad:
GET AFTER HIM,
YOU FOOLS!
[ Knights screaming ]
SO, YOU HAVE TO RESORT
TO TRICKS NOW, BEASTMASTER.
STAND AND FIGHT!

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.
[ rumbling ]
UHH!
AHH!
[ muffled conversation ]
WHO ARE YOU?
WHERE AM I?
WHERE'S MY SWORD?
AM I A PRISONER?
WHAT'S GOING ON --
WHERE AM I?
IN ZAD'S PALACE.
IN XINCA.
THEN WHY AM I IN CHAINS?
YOU'RE IN A CAGE
OF YOUR OWN MAKING.
DON'T YOU REMEMBER
HOW YOU GOT HERE?
I WAS FIGHTING ZAD.
A BOULDER CAME DOWN,
I PUSHED HIM OUT OF THE WAY.
YOU SAVED ZAD'S LIFE.
AND NOW?
HERE YOU ARE,
IN HIS PALACE.
ARE YOU SURPRISED?
YOU SHOULDN'T BE.
YOU PLAYED RIGHT INTO HIS HANDS.
THE BOULDER
WOULD HAVE CRUSHED HIM.
IT SHOULD HAVE CRUSHED HIM.
WHY DID YOU SAVE HIS LIFE?
YOU THINK HE WOULD HAVE DONE
THE SAME FOR YOU?
NO.
WHY DIDN'T HE LEAVE ME
IN THE HOLE TO DIE?
VANITY.
YOU'RE NO LONGER A THREAT;
EVIL TRIUMPHS.
ZAD ONLY KEEPS YOU AROUND
AS A SYMBOL OF HIS VICTORY.
YOU'RE PLAYING
A GAME WITH ME.
THIS IS XINCA.
LOOK AROUND.
IT'S AFTER ZAD'S TRIUMPH.
YOU'RE NOTHING MORE
THAN A TROPHY.
I DON'T BELIEVE YOU.
[ muffled conversation ]
Knight:
MAKE WAY!
MAKE WAY!
BEASTMASTER.
OH, SO YOU'RE AWAKE.
NO, YOU DIDN'T WIN.
[ chuckling ]
YOU'VE HAD ANOTHER
OF YOUR NIGHTMARES.
YOU STILL IMAGINE
YOU HAVE A CHANCE TO WIN.
DON'T WORRY,
IT'LL PASS.
YOU REALLY NEED
TO SLEEP BETTER.
Zad:
FORGET ABOUT FINDING
YOUR SWORD!
I TOLD YOU,
YOU DON'T NEED IT ANYMORE.
IT WON'T DO YOU ANY GOOD.
I'M NOT INTERESTED
IN YOUR TOYS.
I HAVE EVERYTHING I NEED,
RIGHT HERE.
PEOPLE LOVE YOU.
JUST KEEP CHATTERING
TO THOSE ANIMALS OF YOURS,
YOU'LL ALWAYS
FILL THE ARENA.
WHERE'S KODO AND PODO?
OH, KODO AND PODO.
STARS OF THE BEASTMASTER SHOW.
I WONDER WHAT YOU'D DO
WITHOUT YOUR WEASELS.
THEY'RE FERRETS.
OH, YES, OF COURSE.
[ chuckling ]
WEASELS, FERRETS, RATS.
DON'T BE SO CONCERNED.
THEY'RE BEING FED AND GROOMED,
READY FOR YOUR PERFORMANCE
THIS AFTERNOON.
[ twittering ]
AHH!
NO, NO, NO, NO.
HAVE YOU FORGOTTEN THE SPELL
I HAD SLYTHIUS CAST?
IF ANYONE TRIES TO OPEN
THAT DOOR,
THE EAGLE WILL BE NOTHING MORE
THAN A PILE OF FEATHERS.
I'M THE ONLY ONE
THAT CAN OPEN THAT DOOR.
IF ANYONE EVEN TRIES,
WELL,
IT COULD BE QUITE FOUL.
[ eagle twittering ]
SIRE.
OH.
YOUR WEASELS.
SEE YOU IN THE ARENA
THIS AFTERNOON.
DON'T DISAPPOINT YOUR FANS.
[ squeaking ]
[ twittering ]
HELP ME.
PLEASE.
PLEASE.
WHAT'S THIS
FOR?
FOR BEING THE BEASTMASTER.
YOU'RE A LEGEND.
EVERYBODY LOVES YOUR SHOW.
WHAT SHOW?
PLEASE
HELP ME.
WHAT SHOW?
STILL CAN'T FACE THE TRUTH.
THIS IS THE WAY IT IS,
NOW THAT ZAD'S WON.
IN A WORLD DESERTED BY GOOD,
THE RICH GET RICHER,
THE POOR GET POORER.
THE MASSES NEED THEIR DAILY DOSE
OF ENTERTAINMENT.
THAT'S YOU.
Knight:
COME ON, YOU, COME ON.
THEY GOT OFF EASY.
THE REST WILL BE THROWN
TO THE TIGERS IN THE ARENA.
HOW DID
THIS HAPPEN?
YOU HAD YOUR CHANCE
TO DEFEAT ZAD.
WHEN YOU HESITATED,
HE FOUND HIS VICTORY.
RUN!
LONG LIVE THE HOUSE OF ELDAR!
WHY ARE YOU
RUNNING?
STOP THEM!
TRAITOR.
ARINA, ARINA!
WHAT?
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
THESE PEOPLE ARE LOYAL
TO ELDAR, ALLIES.
NOT ZAD'S AND NOT MINE.
WAIT.
I DON'T
UNDERSTAND.
AREN'T YOU TIRED
OF PLAYING THE SAME GAME?
IT'S OVER --
ZAD WON.
WE CAN STILL FIGHT ZAD
AND WIN.
I'M TIRED OF TRYING
TO CHANGE THE WORLD.
Dar:
WE MUST GET MY MOTHER
IN THE ARK.
YOU REALLY DON'T GET IT,
DO YOU?
BALCIFER'S TOO STRONG.
AS LONG AS ZAD HAS SOME DARKNESS
ON HIS SIDE,
YOU DON'T STAND A CHANCE.
YOU'RE MAKING A MISTAKE.
THE ONLY MISTAKE I MADE WAS
TO THINK YOU'D ACTUALLY WIN.
Dartanus:
YOU KNOW,
I'VE OFTEN DOUBTED
THE DEPTH OF ARINA'S LOYALTY.
Dar:
I NEED MY SWORD.
Dartanus:
WHY?
YOUR QUEST IS OVER.
Dar:
YOU SAID MY QUEST
WOULD BE OVER
WHEN I REUNITE MY FAMILY
AND DEFEAT BALCIFER.
Dartanus:
HOW CAN YOU DEFEAT
THE SUPREME LORD OF EVIL,
WHEN YOU CAN'T EVEN DEFEAT
HIS SERVANT?
Dar:
MY FATHER BELIEVED THAT I COULD
SAVE THE WORLD FROM DARKNESS.
Dartanus:
WHAT IF YOUR FATHER
WAS WRONG?
YOU'RE ONLY ONE MAN.
Dar:
I'M NOT ALONE.
Dartanus:
YOU MEAN THE ANIMALS?
Dar:
YES, AND TAO.
Dartanus:
RIGHT.
YOU WANT ME TO TAKE YOU
TO HIM?
YOU KNOW WHERE HE IS?
[ rats squeaking ]
[ moaning ]
Tao:
YOU WERE LUCKY.
I'VE SEEN ZAD THROW MEN
IN BOILING OIL
JUST FOR DARING
TO LOOK AT HIM.
TAO.
[ spitting ]
HOW DARE YOU SHOW YOUR FACE
IN HERE?
THESE PEOPLE SUFFER
BECAUSE YOU FAILED THEM.
GET OUT.
LEAVE!
YOU'RE NOT WELCOME.
I'D NEVER DESERT YOU.
NO --
LOOK.
[ moaning ]
LOOK.
THIS WOULDN'T HAVE HAPPENED
IF YOU HAD STOPPED ZAD!
I TRIED
TO STOP HIM.
YOU SAVED HIM!
YOU CONDEMNED US ALL.
TAO, WAIT.
TAO, WAIT!
YOU'RE WASTING YOUR TIME.
HE WON'T LISTEN TO YOU.
WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME
ABOUT HIM?
WOULD YOU HAVE BELIEVED ME --
NAH.
YOU HAD TO SEE HIM
WITH YOUR OWN EYES.
YOUR CLOSEST FRIENDS
HAVE DESERTED YOU,
BUT SINCE YOU'RE NO LONGER
A THREAT TO ZAD,
YOU CAN LIVE OUT YOUR DAYS
HERE IN XINCA.
Dar:
I WON'T GIVE UP
UNTIL I REGAIN THEIR TRUST.
Dartanus:
HOW?
YOU WERE TO REUNITE
YOUR FAMILY.
YOU'VE LOST EVERYTHING:
YOUR MOTHER, YOUR SWORD,
SHARAK.
IS THE CRYSTAL ARK
WHERE I LEFT IT?
YES.
BUT WITHOUT TAO AND ARINA,
HOW WILL YOU FIND YOUR MOTHER
AND GET HER
SAFELY INSIDE?
SHARAK WILL HELP ME.
YOU OPEN THE CAGE
AND HE'LL DIE.
I'LL FIND A WAY.
RIGHT NOW,
ZAD LETS YOU HANG AROUND
BECAUSE HE THINKS
YOU'RE HARMLESS.
BUT YOU STEAL HIS EAGLE,
AND HE WON'T BE
SO AGREEABLE.
I WON'T LEAVE SHARAK BEHIND.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO HIDE.
YOU CAN COME AND GO
AS YOU PLEASE.
NOBODY WILL STOP YOU.
[ shrilling ]
HOW ARE YOU,
MY FRIEND?
I'LL GET YOU OUT
BUT YOU MUST BE QUIET.
I NEED YOUR HELP
TO FIND MY MOTHER.
OLTRAM'S MAP.
THANK YOU.
[ ferrets squeaking ]
SEE THE FOOD?
IF YOU FIND A WAY
INTO THIS BOX,
YOU CAN HAVE ANYTHING
YOU WANT.
SHH.
DON'T MAKE ANY NOISE.
ARE YOU PLANNING
ON STEALING ZAD'S BIRD?
SHARAK DOESN'T BELONG TO ZAD.
EVERYTHING BELONGS TO ZAD,
INCLUDING YOU.
Dar:
THAT'S THE OLD ARINA SPEAKING,
THE MERCENARY.
I LOOK OUT FOR MYSELF,
ALWAYS HAVE.
YOU FOUGHT WITH ME
BECAUSE YOU KNEW
THERE'D BE NO FUTURE
IF BALCIFER WON.
YOU THINK THIS IS
ABOUT GOOD VERSUS EVIL?
IT ISN'T.
IT'S ABOUT BEING THE HAMMER
OR THE NAIL.
YOU'VE MADE YOUR CHOICE.
THERE ARE NO CHOICES.
THERE'S ONLY SURVIVAL.
IF YOU WANT TO SURVIVE,
YOU'LL STAY AWAY
FROM THAT BIRD.
I'M TAKING SHARAK WITH ME.
I'M LEAVING.
I CAN'T LET YOU DO THAT,
DAR.
YOU DON'T WANT TO DO THIS.
YOU HAVE A BETTER IDEA?
THINK YOU CAN RESCUE ME?
YOU DON'T NEED RESCUING.
FINALLY.
SOMETHING YOU'RE RIGHT ABOUT.
[ shrilling ]
SORRY, I'M SO SORRY.
I COULDN'T LET ZAD THINK
YOU HELPED ME.
[ twittering ]
GOOD WORK.
HERE, ENJOY,
YOU EARNED IT.
MY MOTHER'S STILL ALIVE.
IT MUST BE MY SWORD.
IF ZAD DISCOVERS SHARAK'S GONE,
HE'LL BE AFTER YOU.
LET HIM TRY.
WHY DON'T YOU GIVE IT UP
BEFORE YOU GET YOURSELF KILLED?
I THOUGHT YOU WERE SUPPOSED
TO HELP ME.
I AM.
STOP GETTING IN MY WAY.
[ twittering ]
GET RUH --
WE'LL NEED HIS HELP.
[ shrilling ]
[ growling ]
THE AURYX IS STILL THERE.
WE'LL LOOK FOR THE SWORD
AFTER WE FIND MY MOTHER.
[ growling ]
AT LEAST YOU AND SHARAK
STILL STAND BY ME.
DON'T WORRY,
I HAVEN'T FORGOTTEN
ABOUT YOU.
KEEP AN EYE ON MY MOTHER.
RUH AND I WILL MEET YOU THERE.
AHH.
YOU LET THE BEASTMASTER
ESCAPE?
HE WASN'T
A PRISONER.
HE WAS FREE
TO GO ANYTIME.
NOT WITH THE EAGLE
AND OLTRAM'S MAP!
HOW COULD YOU LET HIM
BEAT YOU?
I DIDN'T
LET HIM.
I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN BETTER
THAN TO TRUST YOU.
YOU'VE GONE SOFT!
I'VE NO LOYALTY
TO HIM.
THE ARINA I KNEW WOULD HAVE
KILLED HIM RIGHT AWAY.
I'LL FIND HIM.
YOU BETTER,
YOU BETTER.
OR YOU'LL BE THE MAIN ATTRACTION
IN THE ARENA, ARINA.
[ growling ]
[ shrilling ]
WHERE IS SHE?
[ twittering ]
THANK YOU.
[ growling ]
I PROMISED I'D FIND YOU AGAIN.
YOU'LL BE SAFE NOW.
[ growling ]
Knight:
MOVE IN!
ARINA, NO!
[ growling ]
HMM.
GIVE ME THE AURYX,
BEASTMASTER.
SHE'S OF NO USE TO YOU NOW.
STAY AWAY FROM HER.
[ growling ]
YOU DO HAVE A CHOICE.
THE AURYX
OR THE TIGER.
AURYX, TIGER, HA.
BOTH.
BOTH?
[ chuckling ]
YOU AMAZE ME.
HOW CAN YOU POSSIBLY THINK
YOU STILL HAVE A CHANCE?
HUH?
GET THE BIRD.
[ grunting ]
Zad:
KILL THE TIGER!
Arina:
YOU HEARD YOUR KING --
KILL IT!
NO!
[ growling ]
Zad:
DON'T BOTHER!
IT'S FINISHED.
WE HAVE WHAT WE CAME FOR.
[ chuckling ]
YOU MAY HAVE REDEEMED YOURSELF.
Zad:
MOVE OUT.
Knight:
YES, SIRE.
Zad:
GOOD WORK, GENTLEMEN.
[ panting ]
I'M SORRY.
I THOUGHT YOU CAME
FOR THE AURYX.
WHY DO YOU ALWAYS SHOW UP
WHEN IT'S TOO LATE?
I CAN'T FIGHT YOUR BATTLES
FOR YOU.
YOU COULD HAVE
DONE SOMETHING.
YOUR TIGER'S NOT MY CONCERN.
YOUR QUEST IS.
YOU LOST YOUR FOCUS.
YOU TURNED YOUR BACK
ON YOUR MOTHER TO SAVE RUH.
YOU LOST THEM BOTH.
HOW WAS I SUPPOSED TO CHOOSE?
YOU'RE AT WAR.
THE FORCES OF EVIL WILL SEEK OUT
YOUR WEAKNESSES
AND USE THEM AGAINST YOU.
ARE YOU SAYING
I MUST ABANDON MY FRIENDS?
I'M SAYING THAT YOUR BATTLES
WILL BE FILLED
WITH HARD CHOICES.
SOMETIMES ONE SOLDIER
MUST BE SACRIFICED,
SO THAT THE REST CAN LIVE.
WILL YOU HAVE THE STRENGTH
TO MAKE THAT CHOICE?
RUH WAS MORE THAN A SOLDIER.
THAT'S WHAT ZAD
WAS COUNTING ON.
HIS DEATH WON'T BE IN VAIN.
[ shrilling ]
I TRIED,
BUT I COULDN'T SAVE HIM.
WHAT
DOES HE SAY?
HE BLAMES ME FOR RUH'S DEATH.
HE'S LOST HIS FAITH IN ME.
MY QUEST.
YOU'VE DRIVEN
AWAY YOUR FRIENDS.
I WON'T GIVE UP,
NOT NOW.
YOU NEED AN ARMY
TO DEFEAT BALCIFER,
BUT YOU'VE NOBODY.
I KNOW A FEW
WHO MIGHT HELP.
WHO?
TAO AND ARINA
HAVE DESERTED YOU.
RUH IS DEAD,
EVEN SHARAK HAS LOST ALL FAITH.
Dar:
THERE ARE FREEDOM FIGHTERS
IN XINCA STILL LOYAL TO ELDAR.
YOU THINK THEY'LL HELP YOU?
I'M STILL ELDAR'S SON.
LAST I HEARD,
THE REBELS WERE HOLED UP
IN ARAKANN.
WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME?
I'M TELLING YOU.
RHANA.
BEASTMASTER.
WHAT HAPPENED?
WHEN ZAD LEARNED
WE WERE IN ARAKANN,
HE SENT HIS MEN TO KILL US.
SOME OF US GOT AWAY.
WHERE ARE THEY NOW?
YOU LIVE IN XINCA
NOW, DON'T YOU?
NO.
PEOPLE TALK OF YOUR ANIMAL SHOW.
WHATEVER YOU'VE HEARD,
I NEVER GAVE UP MY QUEST.
ARE YOU STILL FIGHTING BALCIFER?
YES.
OUR NUMBERS ARE DWINDLING
BUT WE CAN STILL HELP YOU.
OUR LEADER WILL BE VERY PLEASED
TO SEE YOU.
UHH!
ONE WORD OF ADVICE.
THIS IS NOT THE TIME.
[ yelling ]
[ grunting ]
I TOLD YOU.
IT'S NOT THE TIME.
[ whistling ]
YOU BROUGHT HIM HERE?
HE CAN HELP US.
WHAT, PUT ON HIS ANIMAL SHOW?
I THOUGHT YOU WERE IN XINCA.
THE POOR HEALER -- THAT'S
HOW WE GET REBELS IN AND OUT.
WHY DID YOU BRING HIM HERE?
HE WANTS TO FIGHT WITH US.
NOW HE WANTS TO FIGHT.
IT'S A BIT LATE FOR THAT.
THEY KILLED RUH.
I'M SORRY.
IF YOU HADN'T SAVED ZAD
WHEN YOU DID...
I CAN'T TURN MY BACK
ON ANYBODY IN TROUBLE,
NOT EVEN ZAD.
ZAD KILLED HUNDREDS
OF INNOCENT PEOPLE.
IF YOU'D LET HIM DIE,
YOU'D HAVE SAVED MANY MORE.
ZAD WOULDN'T HAVE SAVED YOU.
Tao:
THAT'S THE DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN GOOD AND EVIL.
IF DAR HAD BEHAVED LIKE ZAD,
HIS QUEST WOULD HAVE BEEN LOST.
FIND HIM A WEAPON.
WE'RE GOING TO STORM XINCA.
WE NEED ALL THE HELP
WE CAN GET.
WHAT HAPPENED
TO YOU?
SOMEONE HAS TO FACE ZAD.
IF YOU WON'T, WHO WILL?
WHEN DID YOU BECOME A FIGHTER?
WHEN DID I HAVE A CHOICE?
WITH THIS, I'M TWICE THE WARRIOR
YOU EVER WERE.
IT'S DEVIL'S ROOT.
AND MANDRAKE.
THIS IS POISON.
IT'LL KILL YOU.
IT GIVES ME THE ANGER I NEED
TO FIGHT ZAD!
YOU DON'T NEED THAT
TO WIN A BATTLE.
BE READY FOR A FIGHT.
TODAY,
WE STORM XINCA!
[ cheering ]
THERE AREN'T
ENOUGH OF YOU.
WE KILL ZAD
OR WE DIE TRYING!
[ cheering ]
YOU'RE MAKING A MISTAKE.
I'M IN CHARGE HERE,
NOT YOU.
YOU'RE NOT READY.
YOU'LL ALL BE KILLED.
MY SWORD.
TODAY, THIS SWORD
FULFILS ITS DESTINY.
TODAY, ZAD DIES.
YOU LOST THE RIGHT TO HOLD
THE SWORD WHEN YOU SAVED ZAD.
YOU FAILED --
IT'S MY TURN!
MY FATHER'S SWORD
WON'T WORK FOR YOU.
YOU'RE EITHER WITH US
OR AGAINST US, BEASTMASTER.
LET'S GO!
[ cheering ]
WHAT'S
THE MATTER?
WE'RE NOT ALONE.
TAO!
[ yelling ]
WE'RE SURROUNDED!
[ grunting ]
Dar:
ARE YOU OKAY?
YEAH.
[ grunting ]
Dar:
TAO!
DON'T.
[ moaning ]
[ moaning ]
IT'S ALREADY DONE.
[ yelling ]
RHANA, WAIT!
SAME OLD DAR.
ALWAYS MAKING THE WRONG CHOICES.
I DON'T GIVE UP
ON MY FRIENDS.
YOU DON'T HAVE ANY.
[ panting ]
YOU'VE GOT YOUR SWORD BACK.
YOU PAID A HIGH PRICE.
THE REBELS WILL FIGHT
UNTIL THE LAST ONE IS KILLED.
IS THAT WHAT YOU WANT?
MAYBE THAT'S YOUR WEAKNESS.
GIVEN A CHANCE,
YOU ALWAYS HAVE TO SAVE A LIFE.
EVEN ZAD'S.
I WON'T LET THEM DESTROY
WHAT YOU BELIEVED IN.
HOW MANY MORE WILL YOU BURY
BEFORE THIS ENDS?
BALCIFER'S GROWING STRONGER.
I'M GETTING CLOSE
TO THE END OF MY QUEST.
SO YOU'RE WILLING TO SACRIFICE
ALL YOUR FRIENDS?
WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME?
TAO DIED
LEADING A REBELLION
THAT SHOULD NEVER HAVE HAPPENED.
WHEN ZAD BEAT YOU,
THE INNOCENTS WERE THE ONLY ONES
LEFT TO FIGHT HIM.
Dar:
I DIDN'T LET ZAD WIN.
YOU GAVE HIM A CHANCE!
HE DIDN'T HESITATE.
HE TOOK IT.
I CAN'T CHANGE THAT.
I HAVE SOMETHING
TO SHOW YOU.
THIS IS THE MAN
WHO KILLED YOUR FRIEND.
WHAT
ARE YOU DOING?
ANY REBEL THAT FOUGHT
WITH TAO
WOULD LOVE TO TAKE HIS REVENGE.
I SAVED HIM FOR YOU.
I DON'T KILL,
NOT EVEN FOR REVENGE.
Dartanus:
IF YOU LET HIM LIVE,
HE'LL KILL MORE INNOCENT PEOPLE.
Dar:
IT'S NOT FOR ME TO DECIDE.
Dartanus:
ZAD, BALCIFER?
HE TOOK TAO'S LIFE.
YOU OWE IT TO HIM,
TO YOURSELF,
TO AVENGE HIS DEATH.
I OWE IT TO TAO
TO FINISH MY QUEST.
THIS IS YOUR QUEST!
KILL HIM!
[ gulping ]
IF I KILL THAT MAN,
I'LL BE NO BETTER THAN ZAD.
THIS IS NO TIME FOR MERCY!
YOU MUST DESTROY
YOUR ENEMIES.
THAT'S WHAT BALCIFER WANTS.
IF YOU WON'T KILL HIM...
...I WILL.
[ clanking ]
DARTANUS.
THIS IS HOW YOU HONOUR TAO?
YOU PROTECT THE MAN
WHO KILLED HIM.
KILLING HIM
WON'T BRING TAO BACK.
GO.
YOU STILL WANT ME
TO KILL SOMEONE?
[ chuckling ]
VERY GOOD.
[ moaning ]
VERY GOOD.
YOU'VE PASSED THE FINAL TEST.
WHAT ARE YOU SAYING?
YOU HAD TO LEARN
TO TRUST YOUR INSTINCTS;
STAY TRUE TO YOUR CONVICTIONS.
WOULD YOU STILL SAVE ZAD?
LET'S FIND OUT.
[ grunting ]
[ groaning ]
[ chuckling ]
[ rumbling ]
UHH!
YOU'LL THANK ME FOR THIS LATER.
WHERE
ARE YOU GOING?
IT'S NOT THE RIGHT THE TIME
TO FIGHT ZAD.
I'M TRYING TO FIND MY MOTHER.
YOU COULD HAVE
KILLED HIM.
ONCE SHE'S SAFE IN THE ARK,
THEN I'LL BE READY
TO FIGHT BALCIFER.
NO MATTER WHAT?
I CAN ONLY WIN
IF I REUNITE MY FAMILY.
MY FATHER BELIEVED THAT.
I WON'T BETRAY HIS TRUST.
YOU KNOW,
THE CLOSER YOU COME TO VICTORY,
THE MORE DANGEROUS
BALCIFER BECOMES.
HE'S ALREADY
TAKEN EVERYTHING.
NOT NECESSARILY.
EVERYTHING YOU'VE EXPERIENCED,
ZAD'S VICTORIES,
ARINA'S BETRAYAL,
THE DEATH OF RUH AND TAO,
THEY'RE JUST GLIMPSES
OF A DARK FUTURE.
YOU KNOW THE FUTURE?
I KNOW WHAT CAN BE.
THE FUTURE ISN'T CARVED
IN STONE.
WE CAN SHAPE IT
BY OUR ACTIONS.
WHATEVER YOU'VE BEEN THROUGH,
THAT'S JUST ONE
OF MANY POSSIBLE OUTCOMES.
WHY WON'T YOU LET ME FINISH
MY QUEST?
WHY DO YOU KEEP TESTING ME?
IT'S A WARNING
OF WHAT MIGHT HAPPEN
IF YOU LET DOWN
YOUR GUARD.
HOW WILL THE WORLD END --
I CAN'T TELL.
BUT I DO KNOW
THAT IT RESTS
ON YOUR SHOULDERS.
I'LL ALWAYS STOP
TO HELP MY FRIENDS.
EVERY TIME YOU STOP
TO HELP SOMEONE,
YOUR ENEMIES
WILL TAKE ADVANTAGE.
YOU'VE CHOSEN
THE HARDEST PATH.
MAYBE,
BUT IT'S THE RIGHT PATH.
YOUR TRUE TEST BEGINS
WHEN YOUR QUEST ENDS...
...IF YOU WIN.
[ sighing ]
YOUR TOUGHEST BATTLE
IS YET TO COME.
[ rustling ]
WATCH THE TREE.
CAREFUL.
AHH, DAR!
WHERE HAVE
YOU BEEN?
Tao:
ACCORDING TO OLTRAM'S MAP,
THE AURYX SHOULD BE
JUST OVER THIS NEXT HILL.
YOU'RE
ALL RIGHT.
YEAH.
[ sighing ]
WHAT ARE YOU SO HAPPY ABOUT?
NOTHING IN PARTICULAR.
[ Ruh growling ]
COME ON,
RUH SAYS WE'RE WASTING TIME.
[ squeaking ]
THERE'S A WORLD WAITING FOR US.
CLOSED CAPTIONS PRODUCED BY
ALLIANCE ATLANTIS BROADCASTING
[ shrilling ]
ZAD'S MEN.
HOW CLOSE
ARE THEY?
CLOSER
THAN YOU THINK.
DARTANUS,
WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?
ARE YOU READY
TO FACE THE BIGGEST CHALLENGE
OF YOUR LIFE?
[ squeaking ]
RELAX,
IT'S JUST A VINE.
[ imitating bird call ]
[ imitating bird call ]
[ squeaking ]
[ squeaking ]
HUH?
[ grunting ]
GRAB HIM!
YES, SIRE.
YOU BLOODY IDIOT!
UHH!
THERE HE IS!
GET HIM!
[ panting ]
ALL RIGHT, YOU GOT ME.
[ grunting ]
YEAH.
[ panting ]
Zad:
GET AFTER HIM,
YOU FOOLS!
[ Knights screaming ]
SO, YOU HAVE TO RESORT
TO TRICKS NOW, BEASTMASTER.
STAND AND FIGHT!
[ clanking ]
[ clanking ]
[ grunting ]
[ groaning ]
[ chuckling ]
IN AN AGE WHEN NATURE

AN EXTRAORDINARY LEGEND --
THE STORY OF A WARRIOR

HE IS ALSO CALLED BEASTMASTER.
[ rumbling ]
UHH!
AHH!
[ muffled conversation ]
WHO ARE YOU?
WHERE AM I?
WHERE'S MY SWORD?
AM I A PRISONER?
WHAT'S GOING ON --
WHERE AM I?
IN ZAD'S PALACE.
IN XINCA.
THEN WHY AM I IN CHAINS?
YOU'RE IN A CAGE
OF YOUR OWN MAKING.
DON'T YOU REMEMBER
HOW YOU GOT HERE?
I WAS FIGHTING ZAD.
A BOULDER CAME DOWN,
I PUSHED HIM OUT OF THE WAY.
YOU SAVED ZAD'S LIFE.
AND NOW?
HERE YOU ARE,
IN HIS PALACE.
ARE YOU SURPRISED?
YOU SHOULDN'T BE.
YOU PLAYED RIGHT INTO HIS HANDS.
THE BOULDER
WOULD HAVE CRUSHED HIM.
IT SHOULD HAVE CRUSHED HIM.
WHY DID YOU SAVE HIS LIFE?
YOU THINK HE WOULD HAVE DONE
THE SAME FOR YOU?
NO.
WHY DIDN'T HE LEAVE ME
IN THE HOLE TO DIE?
VANITY.
YOU'RE NO LONGER A THREAT;
EVIL TRIUMPHS.
ZAD ONLY KEEPS YOU AROUND
AS A SYMBOL OF HIS VICTORY.
YOU'RE PLAYING
A GAME WITH ME.
THIS IS XINCA.
LOOK AROUND.
IT'S AFTER ZAD'S TRIUMPH.
YOU'RE NOTHING MORE
THAN A TROPHY.
I DON'T BELIEVE YOU.
[ muffled conversation ]
Knight:
MAKE WAY!
MAKE WAY!
BEASTMASTER.
OH, SO YOU'RE AWAKE.
NO, YOU DIDN'T WIN.
[ chuckling ]
YOU'VE HAD ANOTHER
OF YOUR NIGHTMARES.
YOU STILL IMAGINE
YOU HAVE A CHANCE TO WIN.
DON'T WORRY,
IT'LL PASS.
YOU REALLY NEED
TO SLEEP BETTER.
Zad:
FORGET ABOUT FINDING
YOUR SWORD!
I TOLD YOU,
YOU DON'T NEED IT ANYMORE.
IT WON'T DO YOU ANY GOOD.
I'M NOT INTERESTED
IN YOUR TOYS.
I HAVE EVERYTHING I NEED,
RIGHT HERE.
PEOPLE LOVE YOU.
JUST KEEP CHATTERING
TO THOSE ANIMALS OF YOURS,
YOU'LL ALWAYS
FILL THE ARENA.
WHERE'S KODO AND PODO?
OH, KODO AND PODO.
STARS OF THE BEASTMASTER SHOW.
I WONDER WHAT YOU'D DO
WITHOUT YOUR WEASELS.
THEY'RE FERRETS.
OH, YES, OF COURSE.
[ chuckling ]
WEASELS, FERRETS, RATS.
DON'T BE SO CONCERNED.
THEY'RE BEING FED AND GROOMED,
READY FOR YOUR PERFORMANCE
THIS AFTERNOON.
[ twittering ]
AHH!
NO, NO, NO, NO.
HAVE YOU FORGOTTEN THE SPELL
I HAD SLYTHIUS CAST?
IF ANYONE TRIES TO OPEN
THAT DOOR,
THE EAGLE WILL BE NOTHING MORE
THAN A PILE OF FEATHERS.
I'M THE ONLY ONE
THAT CAN OPEN THAT DOOR.
IF ANYONE EVEN TRIES,
WELL,
IT COULD BE QUITE FOUL.
[ eagle twittering ]
SIRE.
OH.
YOUR WEASELS.
SEE YOU IN THE ARENA
THIS AFTERNOON.
DON'T DISAPPOINT YOUR FANS.
[ squeaking ]
[ twittering ]
HELP ME.
PLEASE.
PLEASE.
WHAT'S THIS
FOR?
FOR BEING THE BEASTMASTER.
YOU'RE A LEGEND.
EVERYBODY LOVES YOUR SHOW.
WHAT SHOW?
PLEASE
HELP ME.
WHAT SHOW?
STILL CAN'T FACE THE TRUTH.
THIS IS THE WAY IT IS,
NOW THAT ZAD'S WON.
IN A WORLD DESERTED BY GOOD,
THE RICH GET RICHER,
THE POOR GET POORER.
THE MASSES NEED THEIR DAILY DOSE
OF ENTERTAINMENT.
THAT'S YOU.
Knight:
COME ON, YOU, COME ON.
THEY GOT OFF EASY.
THE REST WILL BE THROWN
TO THE TIGERS IN THE ARENA.
HOW DID
THIS HAPPEN?
YOU HAD YOUR CHANCE
TO DEFEAT ZAD.
WHEN YOU HESITATED,
HE FOUND HIS VICTORY.
RUN!
LONG LIVE THE HOUSE OF ELDAR!
WHY ARE YOU
RUNNING?
STOP THEM!
TRAITOR.
ARINA, ARINA!
WHAT?
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
THESE PEOPLE ARE LOYAL
TO ELDAR, ALLIES.
NOT ZAD'S AND NOT MINE.
WAIT.
I DON'T
UNDERSTAND.
AREN'T YOU TIRED
OF PLAYING THE SAME GAME?
IT'S OVER --
ZAD WON.
WE CAN STILL FIGHT ZAD
AND WIN.
I'M TIRED OF TRYING
TO CHANGE THE WORLD.
Dar:
WE MUST GET MY MOTHER
IN THE ARK.
YOU REALLY DON'T GET IT,
DO YOU?
BALCIFER'S TOO STRONG.
AS LONG AS ZAD HAS SOME DARKNESS
ON HIS SIDE,
YOU DON'T STAND A CHANCE.
YOU'RE MAKING A MISTAKE.
THE ONLY MISTAKE I MADE WAS
TO THINK YOU'D ACTUALLY WIN.
Dartanus:
YOU KNOW,
I'VE OFTEN DOUBTED
THE DEPTH OF ARINA'S LOYALTY.
Dar:
I NEED MY SWORD.
Dartanus:
WHY?
YOUR QUEST IS OVER.
Dar:
YOU SAID MY QUEST
WOULD BE OVER
WHEN I REUNITE MY FAMILY
AND DEFEAT BALCIFER.
Dartanus:
HOW CAN YOU DEFEAT
THE SUPREME LORD OF EVIL,
WHEN YOU CAN'T EVEN DEFEAT
HIS SERVANT?
Dar:
MY FATHER BELIEVED THAT I COULD
SAVE THE WORLD FROM DARKNESS.
Dartanus:
WHAT IF YOUR FATHER
WAS WRONG?
YOU'RE ONLY ONE MAN.
Dar:
I'M NOT ALONE.
Dartanus:
YOU MEAN THE ANIMALS?
Dar:
YES, AND TAO.
Dartanus:
RIGHT.
YOU WANT ME TO TAKE YOU
TO HIM?
YOU KNOW WHERE HE IS?
[ rats squeaking ]
[ moaning ]
Tao:
YOU WERE LUCKY.
I'VE SEEN ZAD THROW MEN
IN BOILING OIL
JUST FOR DARING
TO LOOK AT HIM.
TAO.
[ spitting ]
HOW DARE YOU SHOW YOUR FACE
IN HERE?
THESE PEOPLE SUFFER
BECAUSE YOU FAILED THEM.
GET OUT.
LEAVE!
YOU'RE NOT WELCOME.
I'D NEVER DESERT YOU.
NO --
LOOK.
[ moaning ]
LOOK.
THIS WOULDN'T HAVE HAPPENED
IF YOU HAD STOPPED ZAD!
I TRIED
TO STOP HIM.
YOU SAVED HIM!
YOU CONDEMNED US ALL.
TAO, WAIT.
TAO, WAIT!
YOU'RE WASTING YOUR TIME.
HE WON'T LISTEN TO YOU.
WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME
ABOUT HIM?
WOULD YOU HAVE BELIEVED ME --
NAH.
YOU HAD TO SEE HIM
WITH YOUR OWN EYES.
YOUR CLOSEST FRIENDS
HAVE DESERTED YOU,
BUT SINCE YOU'RE NO LONGER
A THREAT TO ZAD,
YOU CAN LIVE OUT YOUR DAYS
HERE IN XINCA.
Dar:
I WON'T GIVE UP
UNTIL I REGAIN THEIR TRUST.
Dartanus:
HOW?
YOU WERE TO REUNITE
YOUR FAMILY.
YOU'VE LOST EVERYTHING:
YOUR MOTHER, YOUR SWORD,
SHARAK.
IS THE CRYSTAL ARK
WHERE I LEFT IT?
YES.
BUT WITHOUT TAO AND ARINA,
HOW WILL YOU FIND YOUR MOTHER
AND GET HER
SAFELY INSIDE?
SHARAK WILL HELP ME.
YOU OPEN THE CAGE
AND HE'LL DIE.
I'LL FIND A WAY.
RIGHT NOW,
ZAD LETS YOU HANG AROUND
BECAUSE HE THINKS
YOU'RE HARMLESS.
BUT YOU STEAL HIS EAGLE,
AND HE WON'T BE
SO AGREEABLE.
I WON'T LEAVE SHARAK BEHIND.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO HIDE.
YOU CAN COME AND GO
AS YOU PLEASE.
NOBODY WILL STOP YOU.
[ shrilling ]
HOW ARE YOU,
MY FRIEND?
I'LL GET YOU OUT
BUT YOU MUST BE QUIET.
I NEED YOUR HELP
TO FIND MY MOTHER.
OLTRAM'S MAP.
THANK YOU.
[ ferrets squeaking ]
SEE THE FOOD?
IF YOU FIND A WAY
INTO THIS BOX,
YOU CAN HAVE ANYTHING
YOU WANT.
SHH.
DON'T MAKE ANY NOISE.
ARE YOU PLANNING
ON STEALING ZAD'S BIRD?
SHARAK DOESN'T BELONG TO ZAD.
EVERYTHING BELONGS TO ZAD,
INCLUDING YOU.
Dar:
THAT'S THE OLD ARINA SPEAKING,
THE MERCENARY.
I LOOK OUT FOR MYSELF,
ALWAYS HAVE.
YOU FOUGHT WITH ME
BECAUSE YOU KNEW
THERE'D BE NO FUTURE
IF BALCIFER WON.
YOU THINK THIS IS
ABOUT GOOD VERSUS EVIL?
IT ISN'T.
IT'S ABOUT BEING THE HAMMER
OR THE NAIL.
YOU'VE MADE YOUR CHOICE.
THERE ARE NO CHOICES.
THERE'S ONLY SURVIVAL.
IF YOU WANT TO SURVIVE,
YOU'LL STAY AWAY
FROM THAT BIRD.
I'M TAKING SHARAK WITH ME.
I'M LEAVING.
I CAN'T LET YOU DO THAT,
DAR.
YOU DON'T WANT TO DO THIS.
YOU HAVE A BETTER IDEA?
THINK YOU CAN RESCUE ME?
YOU DON'T NEED RESCUING.
FINALLY.
SOMETHING YOU'RE RIGHT ABOUT.
[ shrilling ]
SORRY, I'M SO SORRY.
I COULDN'T LET ZAD THINK
YOU HELPED ME.
[ twittering ]
GOOD WORK.
HERE, ENJOY,
YOU EARNED IT.
MY MOTHER'S STILL ALIVE.
IT MUST BE MY SWORD.
IF ZAD DISCOVERS SHARAK'S GONE,
HE'LL BE AFTER YOU.
LET HIM TRY.
WHY DON'T YOU GIVE IT UP
BEFORE YOU GET YOURSELF KILLED?
I THOUGHT YOU WERE SUPPOSED
TO HELP ME.
I AM.
STOP GETTING IN MY WAY.
[ twittering ]
GET RUH --
WE'LL NEED HIS HELP.
[ shrilling ]
[ growling ]
THE AURYX IS STILL THERE.
WE'LL LOOK FOR THE SWORD
AFTER WE FIND MY MOTHER.
[ growling ]
AT LEAST YOU AND SHARAK
STILL STAND BY ME.
DON'T WORRY,
I HAVEN'T FORGOTTEN
ABOUT YOU.
KEEP AN EYE ON MY MOTHER.
RUH AND I WILL MEET YOU THERE.
AHH.
YOU LET THE BEASTMASTER
ESCAPE?
HE WASN'T
A PRISONER.
HE WAS FREE
TO GO ANYTIME.
NOT WITH THE EAGLE
AND OLTRAM'S MAP!
HOW COULD YOU LET HIM
BEAT YOU?
I DIDN'T
LET HIM.
I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN BETTER
THAN TO TRUST YOU.
YOU'VE GONE SOFT!
I'VE NO LOYALTY
TO HIM.
THE ARINA I KNEW WOULD HAVE
KILLED HIM RIGHT AWAY.
I'LL FIND HIM.
YOU BETTER,
YOU BETTER.
OR YOU'LL BE THE MAIN ATTRACTION
IN THE ARENA, ARINA.
[ growling ]
[ shrilling ]
WHERE IS SHE?
[ twittering ]
THANK YOU.
[ growling ]
I PROMISED I'D FIND YOU AGAIN.
YOU'LL BE SAFE NOW.
[ growling ]
Knight:
MOVE IN!
ARINA, NO!
[ growling ]
HMM.
GIVE ME THE AURYX,
BEASTMASTER.
SHE'S OF NO USE TO YOU NOW.
STAY AWAY FROM HER.
[ growling ]
YOU DO HAVE A CHOICE.
THE AURYX
OR THE TIGER.
AURYX, TIGER, HA.
BOTH.
BOTH?
[ chuckling ]
YOU AMAZE ME.
HOW CAN YOU POSSIBLY THINK
YOU STILL HAVE A CHANCE?
HUH?
GET THE BIRD.
[ grunting ]
Zad:
KILL THE TIGER!
Arina:
YOU HEARD YOUR KING --
KILL IT!
NO!
[ growling ]
Zad:
DON'T BOTHER!
IT'S FINISHED.
WE HAVE WHAT WE CAME FOR.
[ chuckling ]
YOU MAY HAVE REDEEMED YOURSELF.
Zad:
MOVE OUT.
Knight:
YES, SIRE.
Zad:
GOOD WORK, GENTLEMEN.
[ panting ]
I'M SORRY.
I THOUGHT YOU CAME
FOR THE AURYX.
WHY DO YOU ALWAYS SHOW UP
WHEN IT'S TOO LATE?
I CAN'T FIGHT YOUR BATTLES
FOR YOU.
YOU COULD HAVE
DONE SOMETHING.
YOUR TIGER'S NOT MY CONCERN.
YOUR QUEST IS.
YOU LOST YOUR FOCUS.
YOU TURNED YOUR BACK
ON YOUR MOTHER TO SAVE RUH.
YOU LOST THEM BOTH.
HOW WAS I SUPPOSED TO CHOOSE?
YOU'RE AT WAR.
THE FORCES OF EVIL WILL SEEK OUT
YOUR WEAKNESSES
AND USE THEM AGAINST YOU.
ARE YOU SAYING
I MUST ABANDON MY FRIENDS?
I'M SAYING THAT YOUR BATTLES
WILL BE FILLED
WITH HARD CHOICES.
SOMETIMES ONE SOLDIER
MUST BE SACRIFICED,
SO THAT THE REST CAN LIVE.
WILL YOU HAVE THE STRENGTH
TO MAKE THAT CHOICE?
RUH WAS MORE THAN A SOLDIER.
THAT'S WHAT ZAD
WAS COUNTING ON.
HIS DEATH WON'T BE IN VAIN.
[ shrilling ]
I TRIED,
BUT I COULDN'T SAVE HIM.
WHAT
DOES HE SAY?
HE BLAMES ME FOR RUH'S DEATH.
HE'S LOST HIS FAITH IN ME.
MY QUEST.
YOU'VE DRIVEN
AWAY YOUR FRIENDS.
I WON'T GIVE UP,
NOT NOW.
YOU NEED AN ARMY
TO DEFEAT BALCIFER,
BUT YOU'VE NOBODY.
I KNOW A FEW
WHO MIGHT HELP.
WHO?
TAO AND ARINA
HAVE DESERTED YOU.
RUH IS DEAD,
EVEN SHARAK HAS LOST ALL FAITH.
Dar:
THERE ARE FREEDOM FIGHTERS
IN XINCA STILL LOYAL TO ELDAR.
YOU THINK THEY'LL HELP YOU?
I'M STILL ELDAR'S SON.
LAST I HEARD,
THE REBELS WERE HOLED UP
IN ARAKANN.
WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME?
I'M TELLING YOU.
RHANA.
BEASTMASTER.
WHAT HAPPENED?
WHEN ZAD LEARNED
WE WERE IN ARAKANN,
HE SENT HIS MEN TO KILL US.
SOME OF US GOT AWAY.
WHERE ARE THEY NOW?
YOU LIVE IN XINCA
NOW, DON'T YOU?
NO.
PEOPLE TALK OF YOUR ANIMAL SHOW.
WHATEVER YOU'VE HEARD,
I NEVER GAVE UP MY QUEST.
ARE YOU STILL FIGHTING BALCIFER?
YES.
OUR NUMBERS ARE DWINDLING
BUT WE CAN STILL HELP YOU.
OUR LEADER WILL BE VERY PLEASED
TO SEE YOU.
UHH!
ONE WORD OF ADVICE.
THIS IS NOT THE TIME.
[ yelling ]
[ grunting ]
I TOLD YOU.
IT'S NOT THE TIME.
[ whistling ]
YOU BROUGHT HIM HERE?
HE CAN HELP US.
WHAT, PUT ON HIS ANIMAL SHOW?
I THOUGHT YOU WERE IN XINCA.
THE POOR HEALER -- THAT'S
HOW WE GET REBELS IN AND OUT.
WHY DID YOU BRING HIM HERE?
HE WANTS TO FIGHT WITH US.
NOW HE WANTS TO FIGHT.
IT'S A BIT LATE FOR THAT.
THEY KILLED RUH.
I'M SORRY.
IF YOU HADN'T SAVED ZAD
WHEN YOU DID...
I CAN'T TURN MY BACK
ON ANYBODY IN TROUBLE,
NOT EVEN ZAD.
ZAD KILLED HUNDREDS
OF INNOCENT PEOPLE.
IF YOU'D LET HIM DIE,
YOU'D HAVE SAVED MANY MORE.
ZAD WOULDN'T HAVE SAVED YOU.
Tao:
THAT'S THE DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN GOOD AND EVIL.
IF DAR HAD BEHAVED LIKE ZAD,
HIS QUEST WOULD HAVE BEEN LOST.
FIND HIM A WEAPON.
WE'RE GOING TO STORM XINCA.
WE NEED ALL THE HELP
WE CAN GET.
WHAT HAPPENED
TO YOU?
SOMEONE HAS TO FACE ZAD.
IF YOU WON'T, WHO WILL?
WHEN DID YOU BECOME A FIGHTER?
WHEN DID I HAVE A CHOICE?
WITH THIS, I'M TWICE THE WARRIOR
YOU EVER WERE.
IT'S DEVIL'S ROOT.
AND MANDRAKE.
THIS IS POISON.
IT'LL KILL YOU.
IT GIVES ME THE ANGER I NEED
TO FIGHT ZAD!
YOU DON'T NEED THAT
TO WIN A BATTLE.
BE READY FOR A FIGHT.
TODAY,
WE STORM XINCA!
[ cheering ]
THERE AREN'T
ENOUGH OF YOU.
WE KILL ZAD
OR WE DIE TRYING!
[ cheering ]
YOU'RE MAKING A MISTAKE.
I'M IN CHARGE HERE,
NOT YOU.
YOU'RE NOT READY.
YOU'LL ALL BE KILLED.
MY SWORD.
TODAY, THIS SWORD
FULFILS ITS DESTINY.
TODAY, ZAD DIES.
YOU LOST THE RIGHT TO HOLD
THE SWORD WHEN YOU SAVED ZAD.
YOU FAILED --
IT'S MY TURN!
MY FATHER'S SWORD
WON'T WORK FOR YOU.
YOU'RE EITHER WITH US
OR AGAINST US, BEASTMASTER.
LET'S GO!
[ cheering ]
WHAT'S
THE MATTER?
WE'RE NOT ALONE.
TAO!
[ yelling ]
WE'RE SURROUNDED!
[ grunting ]
Dar:
ARE YOU OKAY?
YEAH.
[ grunting ]
Dar:
TAO!
DON'T.
[ moaning ]
[ moaning ]
IT'S ALREADY DONE.
[ yelling ]
RHANA, WAIT!
SAME OLD DAR.
ALWAYS MAKING THE WRONG CHOICES.
I DON'T GIVE UP
ON MY FRIENDS.
YOU DON'T HAVE ANY.
[ panting ]
YOU'VE GOT YOUR SWORD BACK.
YOU PAID A HIGH PRICE.
THE REBELS WILL FIGHT
UNTIL THE LAST ONE IS KILLED.
IS THAT WHAT YOU WANT?
MAYBE THAT'S YOUR WEAKNESS.
GIVEN A CHANCE,
YOU ALWAYS HAVE TO SAVE A LIFE.
EVEN ZAD'S.
I WON'T LET THEM DESTROY
WHAT YOU BELIEVED IN.
HOW MANY MORE WILL YOU BURY
BEFORE THIS ENDS?
BALCIFER'S GROWING STRONGER.
I'M GETTING CLOSE
TO THE END OF MY QUEST.
SO YOU'RE WILLING TO SACRIFICE
ALL YOUR FRIENDS?
WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME?
TAO DIED
LEADING A REBELLION
THAT SHOULD NEVER HAVE HAPPENED.
WHEN ZAD BEAT YOU,
THE INNOCENTS WERE THE ONLY ONES
LEFT TO FIGHT HIM.
Dar:
I DIDN'T LET ZAD WIN.
YOU GAVE HIM A CHANCE!
HE DIDN'T HESITATE.
HE TOOK IT.
I CAN'T CHANGE THAT.
I HAVE SOMETHING
TO SHOW YOU.
THIS IS THE MAN
WHO KILLED YOUR FRIEND.
WHAT
ARE YOU DOING?
ANY REBEL THAT FOUGHT
WITH TAO
WOULD LOVE TO TAKE HIS REVENGE.
I SAVED HIM FOR YOU.
I DON'T KILL,
NOT EVEN FOR REVENGE.
Dartanus:
IF YOU LET HIM LIVE,
HE'LL KILL MORE INNOCENT PEOPLE.
Dar:
IT'S NOT FOR ME TO DECIDE.
Dartanus:
ZAD, BALCIFER?
HE TOOK TAO'S LIFE.
YOU OWE IT TO HIM,
TO YOURSELF,
TO AVENGE HIS DEATH.
I OWE IT TO TAO
TO FINISH MY QUEST.
THIS IS YOUR QUEST!
KILL HIM!
[ gulping ]
IF I KILL THAT MAN,
I'LL BE NO BETTER THAN ZAD.
THIS IS NO TIME FOR MERCY!
YOU MUST DESTROY
YOUR ENEMIES.
THAT'S WHAT BALCIFER WANTS.
IF YOU WON'T KILL HIM...
...I WILL.
[ clanking ]
DARTANUS.
THIS IS HOW YOU HONOUR TAO?
YOU PROTECT THE MAN
WHO KILLED HIM.
KILLING HIM
WON'T BRING TAO BACK.
GO.
YOU STILL WANT ME
TO KILL SOMEONE?
[ chuckling ]
VERY GOOD.
[ moaning ]
VERY GOOD.
YOU'VE PASSED THE FINAL TEST.
WHAT ARE YOU SAYING?
YOU HAD TO LEARN
TO TRUST YOUR INSTINCTS;
STAY TRUE TO YOUR CONVICTIONS.
WOULD YOU STILL SAVE ZAD?
LET'S FIND OUT.
[ grunting ]
[ groaning ]
[ chuckling ]
[ rumbling ]
UHH!
YOU'LL THANK ME FOR THIS LATER.
WHERE
ARE YOU GOING?
IT'S NOT THE RIGHT THE TIME
TO FIGHT ZAD.
I'M TRYING TO FIND MY MOTHER.
YOU COULD HAVE
KILLED HIM.
ONCE SHE'S SAFE IN THE ARK,
THEN I'LL BE READY
TO FIGHT BALCIFER.
NO MATTER WHAT?
I CAN ONLY WIN
IF I REUNITE MY FAMILY.
MY FATHER BELIEVED THAT.
I WON'T BETRAY HIS TRUST.
YOU KNOW,
THE CLOSER YOU COME TO VICTORY,
THE MORE DANGEROUS
BALCIFER BECOMES.
HE'S ALREADY
TAKEN EVERYTHING.
NOT NECESSARILY.
EVERYTHING YOU'VE EXPERIENCED,
ZAD'S VICTORIES,
ARINA'S BETRAYAL,
THE DEATH OF RUH AND TAO,
THEY'RE JUST GLIMPSES
OF A DARK FUTURE.
YOU KNOW THE FUTURE?
I KNOW WHAT CAN BE.
THE FUTURE ISN'T CARVED
IN STONE.
WE CAN SHAPE IT
BY OUR ACTIONS.
WHATEVER YOU'VE BEEN THROUGH,
THAT'S JUST ONE
OF MANY POSSIBLE OUTCOMES.
WHY WON'T YOU LET ME FINISH
MY QUEST?
WHY DO YOU KEEP TESTING ME?
IT'S A WARNING
OF WHAT MIGHT HAPPEN
IF YOU LET DOWN
YOUR GUARD.
HOW WILL THE WORLD END --
I CAN'T TELL.
BUT I DO KNOW
THAT IT RESTS
ON YOUR SHOULDERS.
I'LL ALWAYS STOP
TO HELP MY FRIENDS.
EVERY TIME YOU STOP
TO HELP SOMEONE,
YOUR ENEMIES
WILL TAKE ADVANTAGE.
YOU'VE CHOSEN
THE HARDEST PATH.
MAYBE,
BUT IT'S THE RIGHT PATH.
YOUR TRUE TEST BEGINS
WHEN YOUR QUEST ENDS...
...IF YOU WIN.
[ sighing ]
YOUR TOUGHEST BATTLE
IS YET TO COME.
[ rustling ]
WATCH THE TREE.
CAREFUL.
AHH, DAR!
WHERE HAVE
YOU BEEN?
Tao:
ACCORDING TO OLTRAM'S MAP,
THE AURYX SHOULD BE
JUST OVER THIS NEXT HILL.
YOU'RE
ALL RIGHT.
YEAH.
[ sighing ]
WHAT ARE YOU SO HAPPY ABOUT?
NOTHING IN PARTICULAR.
[ Ruh growling ]
COME ON,
RUH SAYS WE'RE WASTING TIME.
[ squeaking ]
THERE'S A WORLD WAITING FOR US.
