BeastMaster (1999–2002): Season 3, Episode 6 - Tiger, Tiger... - full transcript
Ruh is set to be sacrificed in a grisly ritual meant to earn the favour of Balcifer.
DON'T BREATHE.
AHHH!
YOU MOVE, YOU DIE.
AHHH!
NOT BAD.
NOW, IMPRESS ME.
[ moaning ]
AHHH!
Zad:
YOUR REPUTATION
AS A HUNTER AND MARKSMAN
IS NOT JUST A LEGEND.
Niqit:
YOUR REPUTATION
AS A GENEROUS KING
IS KNOWN THROUGHOUT THE LAND.
Zad:
YES, YES --
YOU'LL BE HANDSOMELY PAID
WHEN YOU'VE DONE THE JOB.
IF YOU FAIL, I'LL BE WEARING
A NECKLACE OF TEETH
PLUCKED, ONE BY ONE,
FROM YOUR SCREAMING MOUTH.
Niqit:
BY WEEK'S END, YOU'LL BE WEARING
THE BEAST'S SKIN.
Zad:
NO.
BRING IT TO XINCA, ALIVE.
Niqit:
ALIVE?
THIS IS THE WORLD'S
MOST DANGEROUS CREATURE.
Zad:
NOT NEARLY AS DANGEROUS
AS THE ONE WHO WANTS IT.
Niqit:
I DID NOT MEAN TO INSULT
YOUR HIGHNESS.
ZAD'S POWER IS KNOWN
AND FEARED BY ALL.
Zad:
IT'S NOT FOR ME.
IT'S FOR MY SISTER.
DON'T DISAPPOINT HER.

[ roaring ]
Dar:
OW!
Tao:
DAR, WHAT'S WRONG?
ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?
[ moaning ]
Dar:
IT'S RUH.
[ tiger yelping ]
Niqit:
NO CREATURE
IS SAFE FROM NIQIT,
NOT EVEN THE MIGHTY RUH.
[ snarling ]
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.
RUH WAS HERE.
WHEN?
YESTERDAY,
MAYBE TWO DAYS AGO.
THIS IS ONE
OF HIS FAVOURITE HUNTING TRAILS.
HOLD ON --
THIS PACK'S GETTING HEAVY.
I CAN'T -- I HAVE FOXGLOVE
AND HOREHOUND FOR HEALING.
I HAVE VARIOUS OILS
TO STOP ANY BLEEDING.
SPLINTS, BANDAGES.
CAN WE HOLD ON ONE SECOND?
IF HE'S
STILL ALIVE
HE'S BADLY
HURT, TAO.
DAR, HE'S STILL ALIVE.
DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA
HOW TO FIND HIM?
NO.
ALL I FELT WAS
HIS PAIN,
HIS CONFUSION.
THEN NOTHING.
[ bird crying ]
WE'RE RUNNING
OUT OF TIME.
Tao:
ANY SIGN OF RUH?
NO.
[ twittering ]
HIS CUB RETURNED
WITH A ROPE AROUND HIS NECK.
I KNOW MY KING
WILL BE PLEASED.
WELL?
Niqit:
NO CREATURE'S SAFE
FROM NIQIT.
Zad:
IDIOT -- I SAID "ALIVE".
Niqit:
HE IS.
FEEL -- HE'S WARM.
Callista:
DON'T TOUCH THAT BEAST.
Niqit:
WHO'S THAT?
Zad:
POISON FRUIT
FROM THE FAMILY TREE.
Callista:
LET ME PASS OR I'LL HAVE
YOUR GUTS ON A PLATTER.
Zad:
CALLISTA, MY DARLING SISTER,
LOVELY AS EVER.
Callista:
YOU LOOK TIRED.
ARE YOU PUTTING ON WEIGHT?
Zad:
YOU BROUGHT FRIENDS.
Callista:
MY WARRIOR ACOLYTES.
Zad:
IS IT THE THIRD FULL MOON
IN THE YEAR OF SHADOWS ALREADY?
Callista:
TIME FLIES WHEN YOU'RE LOOTING
AND PILLAGING.
AND ON THIS SACRED OCCASION,
YOU CANNOT DENY ME.
Zad:
AS LONG AS YOU DIVINE
WHAT I NEED TO KNOW.
Callista:
I'M THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN.
[ giggling ]
[ roaring ]
OH, DON'T YOU TRUST ME?
I BROUGHT YOU A PRESENT.
ANOTHER TRUNKFUL
OF SCORPIONS?
I ONLY FELL
FOR THAT ONCE,
WHEN I WAS 12.
FATHER'S DAGGER.
WHERE DID YOU
GET IT?
FROM HIS LIFELESS HANDS,
AFTER YOU MURDERED HIM.
WHY LIVE
IN THE PAST?
THE BLADE.
IT'S STRONGER NOW.
SINGS WITH THE PROMISE OF DEATH.
AHHH.
XINCA IS MAKING YOU SOFT.
DON'T COUNT
ON IT.
THE BEASTMASTER'S ALREADY FOUND
THE FIRST
OF HIS HIDDEN FAMILY.
WHAT'S THAT
TO DO WITH YOU?
HAVEN'T YOU MADE A PROMISE
TO BALCIFER?
I'LL KILL
THEM ALL!
NOT UNTIL I TELL YOU
WHERE THEY ARE.
SHOW ME THE TIGER.
[ tiger moaning ]
Callista:
OHH.
HE'S PERFECT.
[ purring ]
[ purring ]
HE SEEMS OKAY.
WHAT HAPPENED?
THEY USED HIM AS BAIT.
IT WASN'T YOUR FAULT.
[ purring ]
HE CHEWED
THROUGH THE ROPE AND ESCAPED.
[ purring ]
HEY, DON'T YOU WORRY.
YOUR FATHER AND I HAVE BEEN
THROUGH TOO MUCH TO LET YOU BE.
[ woman screaming ]
[ people laughing ]
[ screaming ]
[ roaring ]
[ screaming ]
VERY PRETTY, GOOD SCREAMS.
[ screaming ]
[ roaring ]
[ cheering ]
TIGER WINS AGAIN.
WHO WOULD HAVE GUESSED?
Tao:
I REMEMBER THAT DAY.
I WAS SURE
I WAS GOING TO DIE.
Dar:
YOU ALMOST DID.
[ whip cracking ]
[ yelling ]
YOU WANT TO PROVE YOU'RE
MY CHAMPION, HERE'S YOUR CHANCE.
GET IN THERE!
[ laughing ]
WHOA!
RELEASE THE TIGER!
[ snarling ]
Tao:
REALLY -- THAT'S
THE FIRST TIME YOU MET?
FUNNY, I DON'T REMEMBER THAT.
YOU WERE LONG
GONE BY THEN.
Tao:
THIS MUST BE IT.
Dar:
IT'S RUH'S BLOOD.
IT'S THIS WAY.
Dartanus:
ARE YOU GOING
TO LEAVE ME HERE?
WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?
GIVE ME A HAND.
WHERE ELSE SHOULD I BE?
YOU COULD USE
SOME HELP.
YOU COULD HAVE HELPED RUH.
TRUE --
THIS IS NOT MY DESTINY.
IT'S YOURS AND RUH'S.
ARE YOU SAYING
RUH'S SUPPOSED TO DIE?
SOMETIMES SACRIFICES
NEED TO BE MADE.
IS THIS ONE OF THOSE TIMES?
HOW MANY MUST DIE
SO I CAN FIND MY DESTINY?
HOW MANY
WILL DIE WITHOUT IT?
CAN'T YOU EVER GIVE US
A STRAIGHT ANSWER?
NOT WHEN THE ANSWER
IS A CIRCLE.
IT ENDS
WHERE IT BEGINS.
ZAD'S FIGHTING
IN THE MYDLANDS WHERE I MET RUH.
THE ARENA ISN'T
THERE ANYMORE.
ZAD'S IN XINCA, SO IS RUH.
[ voices whispering ]
Kelb:
IS THIS FOR REAL
OR IS SHE PUTTING ON AN ACT?
Zad:
DOES IT HAVE TO BE ONE
OR THE OTHER?
SHE'S BEEN LIKE THIS
SINCE SHE WAS SIX.
Kelb:
SOMEONE LIKE HER
BEARS
CLOSE SCRUTINY.
THAT'S MY FAMILY
YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.
IS THAT A YES?
DEFINITELY YES --
WATCH MY SISTER CLOSELY.
SHE HAS GREAT POWERS
BUT SHE'S NOT TO BE TRUSTED.
WHEN WILL I BE VICTORIOUS?
[ coughing ]
WHEN AM I GOING TO DEFEAT
THE BEASTMASTER?
THAT'S WHAT I'M TRYING
TO DIVINE,
IF YOU'D JUST SHUT UP.
[ coughing ]
CAN YOU DO IT
BEFORE I CHOKE TO DEATH?
PERHAPS LATER,
WHEN I CAN
CONCENTRATE.
AHHH.
WE HAVE
AN ARRANGEMENT.
WE'VE HAD ONE FOR SOME TIME.
YOU SCOURGE THE LAND
TO PROVE YOUR MANHOOD.
I SEE YOU FOR WHAT YOU ARE,
A COWARD.
THE AUGURY.
I PROVIDE
THE TIGER;
YOU TELL ME
THE BEASTMASTER'S
SECRETS.
IS THAT ALL?
[ roaring ]
[ gasping ]
WHAT ARE
YOU DOING?
I SEE, I SEE
THE BEASTMASTER.
HE APPROACHES.
A SPIRIT STALKS HIM.
PROTECTOR OR DESTROYER?
WHICH?
WHICH IS IT?
THAT'S ALL.
WHAT
DO YOU MEAN?
WHAT PROPHECY
IS THAT?
I MUST REST NOW.
WHOSE SPIRIT
IS IT?
WHERE'S
HIS FAMILY?
I DON'T KNOW.
THE TIGER WILL TELL ME.
WHEN I HAVE TORN THE BELLY
FROM THAT NOBLE BEAST,
YOU WILL KNOW
WHERE ALL DAR'S FAMILY HIDES.
ONE BY ONE, I'LL HUNT THEM DOWN
AND KILL THEM.
Dar:
NO, WE DIDN'T.
Tao:
JUST BECAUSE DARTANUS SAID
RUH'S IN XINCA.
IT'S NOT ABOUT
WHAT HE SAYS.
IT'S ABOUT
WHAT I FEEL.
I KNOW
RUH'S HERE.
HE NEVER TELLS US THE TRUTH.
HE POINTS
TO IT.
WE MUST
FIND IT OUT.
WHERE DO WE START?
[ squealing ]
Dar:
PODO, KODO, FIND RUH.
AFTER I BATHE,
WE MUST PURIFY THE ALTAR.
EVERYTHING MUST BE READY.
SOMEONE'S COMING.
I DON'T THINK WE'VE BEEN
PROPERLY INTRODUCED.
MY NAME IS KELB,
KNIGHT CAPTAIN OF XINCA.
SERVANT TO OUR KING.
OUR KING, YES.
I'M CERTAIN
YOU'RE A LOYAL SERVANT.
HE SENT YOU
TO KEEP
AN EYE ON ME.
IT'S NOT EXACTLY
HARDSHIP DUTY.
HMM.
YOU KNOW, KELB, I DON'T THINK
MY BROTHER ZAD REALLY
APPRECIATES
WHAT HE HAS IN YOU.
VALIANT SOLDIER, A LEADER.
A MAN OF YOUR STATURE
SHOULD BE TREATED
WITH MORE RESPECT.
KING ZAD IS A BRAVE WARRIOR
AND INSPIRED COMMANDER.
HE'S A BULLY.
I SHOULD KNOW --
I GREW UP WITH HIM.
ULTIMATELY, YOUR ALLEGIANCE
SHOULD BE TO YOURSELF.
ARE YOU SUGGESTING TREASON?
SUCH A HARSH WORD.
I'M SUGGESTING THAT TO DEFEAT
THE BEASTMASTER
AND DESTROY HIS FAMILY
MAY TAKE MORE CUNNING
THAN ANY ONE MAN
MAY POSSESS.
SOMETIMES A WOMAN'S TOUCH
IS REQUIRED.
IT WOULD BE A PRIVILEGE
TO SERVE ANYONE
WHO COULD DESTROY
THE BEASTMASTER.
I THINK IT'S TIME
FOR MY BATH.
LEAVE US.
NOW THEN, KELB, TELL ME
WHAT BROTHER DEAR'S BEEN UP TO,
AND LEAVE NOTHING OUT.
[ coughing ]
MAKE WAY
FOR THE KING'S KNIGHTS.
DO YOU KNOW
WHO I AM?
A PIECE
OF DIRT.
I USED TO BE A GLADIATOR.
I FOUGHT IN KING ZAD'S ARENA!
NEITHER MAN NOR BEAST
COULD STAND AGAINST MY SWORD.
MAYBE
IN YOUR DREAMS.
AHHH!
YOU CALL YOURSELVES KNIGHTS?
COWARDS AND VERMIN
ARE ALL I SEE.
WHAT'S THE MATTER?
NO SMALL DOGS TO HIT TODAY?
IT'S BRAVE,
BUT IT'S NOT WISE.
ZAD'S KNIGHTS AREN'T KNOWN
FOR THEIR HUMOUR.
YOU'RE RIGHT.
I'M JUST
A FOOLISH
OLD MAN,
TRYING TO RELIVE MEMORIES
OF PAST GLORIES
IN THE ARENA.
I DON'T REMEMBER
ANY GLORY IN ZAD'S ARENA.
A FELLOW WARRIOR.
Dar:
NOT EXACTLY.
DO YOU REMEMBER,
THERE WAS A TIGER,
A MAGNIFICENT
CREATURE.
I REMEMBER.
THEY SAY ZAD'S CAPTURED
ANOTHER TIGER.
SOUNDS LIKE A TRAP.
OF COURSE
IT IS.
IT WON'T BE THE FIRST TIME
RUH AND I HAVE BEEN
IN A TOUGH SPOT.
HOW DO YOU FEEL
ABOUT KILLING NOW?
I'M NOT GOING TO HURT YOU.
[ snarling ]
GET THE LEADER;
I'LL TAKE THE OTHERS.
Zad:
I HAVEN'T GOT ALL DAY!
[ roaring ]
KILL THEM BOTH.
Tao:
THAT WAS THE FIRST TIME
YOU AND RUH WERE ALLIES.
THIS IS THE GATEWAY
TO THE TUNNELS.
IT'S LOCKED.
NOW WHAT?
MAYBE YOU COULD USE THIS.
THE KEY TO THE GATE?
IF IT ISN'T,
I TOOK A BEATING FOR NOTHING.
YOU STARTED THAT FIGHTING
ON PURPOSE.
I THOUGHT THE KEY
MIGHT COME IN HANDY.
TAO, SHUT IT.
DAR, WHAT IF ZAD'S WAITING
FOR YOU?
ZAD ISN'T THE ONE
HE HAS TO FEAR.
[ squealing ]
KODO, PODO.
YOU FOLLOWED RUH'S SCENT?
GOOD WORK.
SHOW ME.
XINCA'S SO CIVILIZED.
NO MURDERS, HARDLY
ANY DEBAUCHERY TO SPEAK OF.
YOU'RE NOT LOSING YOUR TOUCH,
ARE YOU, ZAD?
Zad:
I'M A KING --
I HAVE MY RESPONSIBILITIES.
IT CAN'T BE FUN AND GAMES
ALL THE TIME, IDIOT.
YOU BOW TO ME.
THE WORST THING IS,
THERE'S NO GRATITUDE.
Callista:
IT MUST BE EXHAUSTING
RULING AN EMPIRE.
TAX COLLECTING, EXECUTIONS.
Zad:
THERE'S NO END TO IT.
Callista:
WHY MANAGE IT
ALL ON YOUR OWN?
DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT.
WHY?
I COULD REMAIN HERE.
YOU COULD GO OFF
WITH YOUR ARMY,
CONQUER NEW LANDS,
VANQUISH NEW PEOPLE.
[ chuckling ]
I RULE THIS LAND ALREADY.
YOU NEVER WERE GOOD
AT SHARING.
WELL, WELL, WELL.
WHAT?
YOU HAVE A VISITOR.
[ squealing ]
[ snarling ]
RUH.
I'VE BEEN WORRIED ABOUT YOU.
YOUR CUB CHEWED THROUGH THE ROPE
AND ESCAPED.
WE MUST GET YOU OUT OF HERE
SO TAO CAN HEAL YOU.
BEASTMASTER.
[ snarling ]
HOW GOOD OF YOU
TO JOIN THE PARTY.
[ laughing ]
HERE WE ARE AGAIN.
YOU, ME, AND THE TIGER.
AHH, JUST LIKE OLD TIMES.
YOU CHEATED ME
OUT OF A KILL
ONCE BEFORE.
[ tiger roaring ]
IT WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN.
MY, MY, MY.
IT'S TRUE WHAT THEY SAY.
OH, I'M AFRAID
THE POWDER'S WEARING OFF.
JUST IN TIME
FOR THE GAMES.
Dar:
YOU'VE GOT ME.
SET RUH FREE.
Zad:
WHY, OF COURSE.
RIGHT AFTER I GIVE
ALL MY MONEY TO THE POOR.
CAN'T YOU SEE HE'S DYING?
[ moaning ]
YOU SHOULD BE MORE CONCERNED
WITH YOURSELF.
I COULD KILL YOU,
RIGHT NOW.
NOT UNTIL THE AUGURY,
YOU FOOL.
NOT UNTIL THE SUN IS
AT ITS ZENITH
AND WE ENTER
THE THIRD LUNAR PHASE.
THEN I DON'T CARE
WHAT YOU DO WITH THEM.
NOTHING CAN STOP ME NOW,
BEASTMASTER, NOT EVEN YOU.
MOTHER WOULD BE SO PROUD.
NOW, WHERE WAS I?
OH, YES.
THIS IS MUCH BETTER
THAN I EXPECTED.
Tao:
COME ON, DAR, WHERE ARE YOU?
YOU WON'T FIND HIM OUT HERE.
WHERE IS HE?
IN TROUBLE.
IT'S LIKE
A MAZE.
IT COULD TAKE ME A YEAR
TO FIND HIM.
Dartanus:
DON'T UNDERESTIMATE THE BONDS
OF TRUE FRIENDSHIP.
YOU AND DAR
ARE ALREADY LINKED.
YOUR INDIVIDUAL DESTINIES
HAVE BECOME AS ONE.
WHY ARE YOU HERE?
IT'S NOT OBVIOUS?
I'M HELPING.
YOU COULD DO
SOMETHING USEFUL,
LIKE KILL KING ZAD.
DAR'S VICTORY IS NOT A GIFT
I CAN GIVE.
IT'S A PRIZE HE HAS TO WIN.
BUT WHAT IF YOU--
OH, GREAT.
SO IT'S TRUE.
YOU HAVE DAR.
HE'S JUST A MAN.
AND SOON THE REST
OF HIS ANIMAL FAMILY
WILL BE MINE.
KING ELDAR'S BLOODLINE,
EXTERMINATED.
ONE BY ONE
I SHALL HUNT THEM DOWN
AND RIP
THEIR BEATING HEARTS
FROM THEIR CHESTS.
AND THE EVIL ONE
SHALL REIGN SUPREME.
WITH ME AT HIS SIDE,
OF COURSE.
KING ZAD?
YES.
I'M AFRAID BALCIFER
WON'T NEED
BOTH BROTHER AND SISTER.
ONE OF US
WILL BECOME EXPENDABLE.
DOES THAT TROUBLE YOU,
CAPTAIN KELB?
YOU HATE HIM, ADMIT IT.
A SOLDIER LIKE YOU
SHOULD HATE A TYRANT LIKE ZAD.
I'M THE FUTURE OF XINCA.
SERVE ME; I'LL PROTECT YOU.
LONG LIVE
THE QUEEN.
[ squealing ]
[ coughing ]
[ moaning ]
OW!
[ moaning ]
[ moaning ]
UNNH!
YOU'LL NEED THESE.
YOU STOLE
THE KEYS.
HOW DID YOU--
DOESN'T MATTER.
THEY'VE GOT DAR.
WE'VE GOT ZAD,
RIGHT WHERE WE WANT HIM.
RUH'S
HALF DEAD,
AND DAR'S
IN CHAINS.
ONCE RUH AND DAR
ARE IN THE ARENA,
EVERYTHING WILL BE FINE.
WHY DO THEY
HAVE TO FIGHT?
THERE MUST BE
ANOTHER WAY.
I WISH THERE WAS.
I DON'T
BELIEVE IT.
YOU'VE GOT THE KEYS.
PROVE ME WRONG.
WATCH ME.
[ whispering ]
[ keys rattling ]
HOW DID YOU FIND US?
THE BONDS OF FRIENDSHIP.
FORGET ABOUT IT.
HA, YOU HAD TO BE THERE.
AHHH!
DAR, HERE, DRINK THIS.
THIS WILL HELP.
I'VE MADE A POULTICE.
THIS WILL CLEAN THE WOUND.
[ purring ]
YOU'LL FIND SOME HERBS
INSIDE THE BAG.
SEE IF RUH WILL CHEW
WITCH-HAZEL AND MYRRH.
[ licking and purring ]
WHAT DID HE SAY?
HE APPRECIATES YOUR HELP.
THAT'S NOT WHAT HE SAID.
[ door opening ]
KNIGHTS -- YOU'D BETTER GO.
CAN'T LEAVE
YOU HERE.
LEAVE THE HERBS.
GO.
[ Podo and Kodo squealing ]
WHAT DID YOU FIND?
I DON'T CARE
WHAT CALLISTA SAYS.
SHE'LL NEVER HURT MY FAMILY.
DON'T YOU WORRY ABOUT THAT.
GO.
[ snarling ]
I'M SAVING YOUR LIFE AGAIN.
JUST LIKE THE FIRST TIME
WE MET.
[ roaring ]
IF YOU DON'T KILL THEM,
I'LL SLAUGHTER YOU ALL!
ARGH!
[ snarling ]
[ snarling ]
WHAT DO YOU MEAN I COULDN'T
HAVE ESCAPED WITHOUT YOU?
I SAVED YOU, REMEMBER?
DON'T BE LIKE THIS --
I KNOW YOU WERE THERE.
[ purring ]
AND THEN YOU DID WHAT?
[ moaning ]
[ roaring ]
[ screaming ]
THAT'S SOME IMAGINATION
THAT YOU HAVE.
TAO'S HERBS ARE GIVING YOU
ILLUSIONS.
THINK YOU'RE STRONG ENOUGH
TO MAKE IT OUT OF THE TUNNELS?
[ snarling ]
[ choking ]
LEAVING SO SOON?
I'M HURT.
YOU MIGHT AS WELL
TEAR OUT MY HEART.
DON'T TEMPT ME.
I UNDERSTAND HOW YOU FEEL.
THE TIGER STAYS WITH ME.
I THOUGHT YOU WANTED US
TO FIGHT TOGETHER.
SO TOUCHING --
THEY WANT TO DIE, SIDE BY SIDE.
[ purring ]
YOU'RE BOTH GOING TO DIE.
AHH!
BUT NOT TOGETHER.
YOUR BLOOD WILL DRENCH
MY ARENA.
AND THE TIGER'S BLOOD
WILL BE SPILLED
IN THE SERVICE
OF THE EVIL ONE.
A SACRIFICE!
A DIVINATION, AN AUGURY.
AH, JUST IMAGINE.
WITHIN THE HOUR,
RUH'S HEART,
SPEARED BY YOUR OWN STAFF.
MMM.
AND WHEN HIS STEAMING ENTRAILS
LIE ON THE ALTAR OF DARKNESS,
ALL WILL BECOME CLEAR TO ME.
EACH OF YOUR HIDDEN FAMILY
WILL BE FOUND
AND HUNTED DOWN.
[ choking ]
THE LINE OF ELDAR
WILL PERISH FOREVER.
THE LORD OF DARKNESS
WILL TRIUMPH
AND SO WILL I.
JUST SET RUH FREE.
Zad:
IN CASE YOU HAVEN'T NOTICED,
YOU'RE IN NO POSITION
TO MAKE REQUESTS.
NOW THAT YOUR FAMILY
WILL BE FOUND,
I CAN FINALLY
ENJOY WATCHING YOU DIE.
[ panting ]
Zad:
THIS BRINGS BACK MEMORIES, KELB.
CRIES OF THE INNOCENT
AS THEY PLEAD FOR MERCY.
SCREAMS OF THE WOUNDED
AS THEY'RE CUT DOWN.
IT'S HARD
NOT TO FEEL SENTIMENTAL.
THIS TIME
THE BEASTMASTER
WON'T ESCAPE.
YEAH.
RULES ARE SIMPLE.
IN FACT,
THERE'S ONLY ONE.
FIGHT TO THE DEATH.
DEATH, DEATH!
DEATH!
[ blasting ]
THEY'RE PLAYING MY SONG.
[ horn blasting ]
AHH.
BEGIN!
[ grunting ]
YOU STILL CARRY HER SCENT.
HAD TO GET
CLOSE TO HER.
WIN HER TRUST.
UNNH!
I HOPE YOUR EFFORTS PAID OFF.
I'M TO SLIT YOUR THROAT
WHILE YOU SLEEP.
HARDLY ORIGINAL.
I EXPECTED MORE FLAIR
FROM DEAR LITTLE SISTER.
I KNOW YOU WOULDN'T BETRAY ME.
NEVER, SIRE.
I KNOW THAT.
I JUST WISH I COULD BE CERTAIN
OF YOUR LOYALTY.
YOU KNOW I WOULD GIVE MY LIFE
FOR MY KING.
THAT'S IT.
THANK YOU.
NOW I'M SURE.
[ yelling ]
AHHH!
[ grunting ]
[ yelling ]
SHOULD HAVE STAYED AWAY
FROM MY SISTER.
THAT WOMAN IS POISON.
[ voices whispering ]
[ purring ]
THE STAFF.
BALCIFER, LORD OF DARKNESS,
ACCEPT THIS OFFERING
FROM YOUR HUMBLE SERVANT.
IS IT YOUR WISH
THAT I SHALL USE THIS BLADE
TO REVEAL THE SECRETS
THAT LIE WITHIN YOUR POWER?
AH, IT IS TIME.
[ grunting ]
OPEN THE CAGE.
STOP HIM!
AHHH!
ARGH!
[ snarling ]
[ snarling ]
[ snarling ]
KILL HER OR SAVE DAR.
[ snarling ]
AGHH!
AHHH!
GET IN THERE!
AGHH!
THIS CALLS
FOR SOMETHING SPECIAL.
NO!
I'VE WAITED TOO LONG FOR THIS.
HE'S MINE -- AHHH!
I'LL ALMOST BE SORRY
TO SEE YOU GO.
DAR!
[ clanging ]
[ grunting ]
[ clanging ]
GET HIM!
GO.
GO.
I CAME AS FAST AS I COULD.
RUH'S SAFE -- DARTANUS?
HE'LL BE FINE.
[ clanging ]
Zad:
SPIRITS, VISIONS --
HOGWASH!
THE TIGER ESCAPED,
ALONG WITH THE BEASTMASTER,
WHO, THANK BALCIFER,
IS STILL ALIVE.
AND WHY?
YOU LEARNED NOTHING
ABOUT HIS QUEST.
Callista:
YOU BLAME ME FOR THIS.
Zad:
YOU ARE PSYCHIC.
Callista:
IF THIS IS ANYONE'S FAULT,
IT'S YOURS
FOR NOT TRUSTING ME.
Zad:
FORGET ABOUT RULING
AT MY SIDE.
UNLESS YOU'RE OUT OF XINCA
WITHIN ONE HOUR,
YOU CAN FORGET
ABOUT EVERYTHING,
EXCEPT MAYBE YOUR HEAD
ON A PIKE.
YOU AND KELB
MAKE A FINE COUPLE.
ARGH!
[ squealing ]
[ purring ]
I GUESS THIS MAKES US EVEN.
NO -- IT DOESN'T MAKE IT
TWICE IN A ROW
YOU SAVED MY LIFE.
ADMIT THAT YOU'RE WRONG.
Dartanus:
ACTUALLY, YOU BOTH ARE.
WOULD YOU LIKE TO KNOW
WHAT HAPPENED IN ZAD'S ARENA?
IF YOU DON'T KILL THEM,
I'LL SLAUGHTER YOU ALL!
ARGH -- IF YOU WANT SOMETHING
DONE RIGHT...
I'M YOUR KING.
NOT MINE.
AGHH!
[ yelling ]
IT WAS YOU.
Tao:
WHAT WERE YOU DOING
IN THE MYDLANDS?
Dartanus:
LOOKING OUT FOR YOU.
I WAS THERE WHEN THOSE BONDS
OF FRIENDSHIP WERE FORMED.
I CAME HERE NOW TO REMIND YOU
OF THEIR STRENGTH.
I SWORE TO BE THERE FOR YOU
WHEN YOU NEEDED ME.
I HAVE BEEN, I WILL BE...
FROM NOW ON.
SO WILL THIS.
MY FATHER'S SWORD.
THE WORLD'S CHANGING, DAR.
YOU'VE SEEN IT --
EVIL GROWS STRONGER.
YOU'RE FIGHTING
FOR YOUR LIFE.
YOU MUST GROW STRONGER, TOO.
YOU MUST DEFEND YOURSELF,
YOUR FRIENDS,
THE WHOLE WORLD.
THAT'S WHAT ALL THIS WAS ABOUT.
A LESSON HARD WON.
A TEST YOU NEEDED TO PASS.
YOU CANNOT HOPE TO FIND
YOUR TRUE PATH WITHOUT THIS.
THIS SWORD WAS FORGED
FOR YOUR FATHER,
ITS BLADE AS PURE AND STRONG
AS THE MAN WHO WIELDS IT.
IT'S YOURS NOW.
CLOSED CAPTIONS PRODUCED BY
ALLIANCE ATLANTIS BROADCASTING
AHHH!
YOU MOVE, YOU DIE.
AHHH!
NOT BAD.
NOW, IMPRESS ME.
[ moaning ]
AHHH!
Zad:
YOUR REPUTATION
AS A HUNTER AND MARKSMAN
IS NOT JUST A LEGEND.
Niqit:
YOUR REPUTATION
AS A GENEROUS KING
IS KNOWN THROUGHOUT THE LAND.
Zad:
YES, YES --
YOU'LL BE HANDSOMELY PAID
WHEN YOU'VE DONE THE JOB.
IF YOU FAIL, I'LL BE WEARING
A NECKLACE OF TEETH
PLUCKED, ONE BY ONE,
FROM YOUR SCREAMING MOUTH.
Niqit:
BY WEEK'S END, YOU'LL BE WEARING
THE BEAST'S SKIN.
Zad:
NO.
BRING IT TO XINCA, ALIVE.
Niqit:
ALIVE?
THIS IS THE WORLD'S
MOST DANGEROUS CREATURE.
Zad:
NOT NEARLY AS DANGEROUS
AS THE ONE WHO WANTS IT.
Niqit:
I DID NOT MEAN TO INSULT
YOUR HIGHNESS.
ZAD'S POWER IS KNOWN
AND FEARED BY ALL.
Zad:
IT'S NOT FOR ME.
IT'S FOR MY SISTER.
DON'T DISAPPOINT HER.
[ roaring ]
[ roaring ]
[ roaring ]
[ roaring ]
Dar:
OW!
Tao:
DAR, WHAT'S WRONG?
ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?
[ moaning ]
Dar:
IT'S RUH.
[ tiger yelping ]
Niqit:
NO CREATURE
IS SAFE FROM NIQIT,
NOT EVEN THE MIGHTY RUH.
[ snarling ]
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.
RUH WAS HERE.
WHEN?
YESTERDAY,
MAYBE TWO DAYS AGO.
THIS IS ONE
OF HIS FAVOURITE HUNTING TRAILS.
HOLD ON --
THIS PACK'S GETTING HEAVY.
I CAN'T -- I HAVE FOXGLOVE
AND HOREHOUND FOR HEALING.
I HAVE VARIOUS OILS
TO STOP ANY BLEEDING.
SPLINTS, BANDAGES.
CAN WE HOLD ON ONE SECOND?
IF HE'S
STILL ALIVE
HE'S BADLY
HURT, TAO.
DAR, HE'S STILL ALIVE.
DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA
HOW TO FIND HIM?
NO.
ALL I FELT WAS
HIS PAIN,
HIS CONFUSION.
THEN NOTHING.
[ bird crying ]
WE'RE RUNNING
OUT OF TIME.
Tao:
ANY SIGN OF RUH?
NO.
[ twittering ]
HIS CUB RETURNED
WITH A ROPE AROUND HIS NECK.
I KNOW MY KING
WILL BE PLEASED.
WELL?
Niqit:
NO CREATURE'S SAFE
FROM NIQIT.
Zad:
IDIOT -- I SAID "ALIVE".
Niqit:
HE IS.
FEEL -- HE'S WARM.
Callista:
DON'T TOUCH THAT BEAST.
Niqit:
WHO'S THAT?
Zad:
POISON FRUIT
FROM THE FAMILY TREE.
Callista:
LET ME PASS OR I'LL HAVE
YOUR GUTS ON A PLATTER.
Zad:
CALLISTA, MY DARLING SISTER,
LOVELY AS EVER.
Callista:
YOU LOOK TIRED.
ARE YOU PUTTING ON WEIGHT?
Zad:
YOU BROUGHT FRIENDS.
Callista:
MY WARRIOR ACOLYTES.
Zad:
IS IT THE THIRD FULL MOON
IN THE YEAR OF SHADOWS ALREADY?
Callista:
TIME FLIES WHEN YOU'RE LOOTING
AND PILLAGING.
AND ON THIS SACRED OCCASION,
YOU CANNOT DENY ME.
Zad:
AS LONG AS YOU DIVINE
WHAT I NEED TO KNOW.
Callista:
I'M THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN.
[ giggling ]
[ roaring ]
OH, DON'T YOU TRUST ME?
I BROUGHT YOU A PRESENT.
ANOTHER TRUNKFUL
OF SCORPIONS?
I ONLY FELL
FOR THAT ONCE,
WHEN I WAS 12.
FATHER'S DAGGER.
WHERE DID YOU
GET IT?
FROM HIS LIFELESS HANDS,
AFTER YOU MURDERED HIM.
WHY LIVE
IN THE PAST?
THE BLADE.
IT'S STRONGER NOW.
SINGS WITH THE PROMISE OF DEATH.
AHHH.
XINCA IS MAKING YOU SOFT.
DON'T COUNT
ON IT.
THE BEASTMASTER'S ALREADY FOUND
THE FIRST
OF HIS HIDDEN FAMILY.
WHAT'S THAT
TO DO WITH YOU?
HAVEN'T YOU MADE A PROMISE
TO BALCIFER?
I'LL KILL
THEM ALL!
NOT UNTIL I TELL YOU
WHERE THEY ARE.
SHOW ME THE TIGER.
[ tiger moaning ]
Callista:
OHH.
HE'S PERFECT.
[ purring ]
[ purring ]
HE SEEMS OKAY.
WHAT HAPPENED?
THEY USED HIM AS BAIT.
IT WASN'T YOUR FAULT.
[ purring ]
HE CHEWED
THROUGH THE ROPE AND ESCAPED.
[ purring ]
HEY, DON'T YOU WORRY.
YOUR FATHER AND I HAVE BEEN
THROUGH TOO MUCH TO LET YOU BE.
[ woman screaming ]
[ people laughing ]
[ screaming ]
[ roaring ]
[ screaming ]
VERY PRETTY, GOOD SCREAMS.
[ screaming ]
[ roaring ]
[ cheering ]
TIGER WINS AGAIN.
WHO WOULD HAVE GUESSED?
Tao:
I REMEMBER THAT DAY.
I WAS SURE
I WAS GOING TO DIE.
Dar:
YOU ALMOST DID.
[ whip cracking ]
[ yelling ]
YOU WANT TO PROVE YOU'RE
MY CHAMPION, HERE'S YOUR CHANCE.
GET IN THERE!
[ laughing ]
WHOA!
RELEASE THE TIGER!
[ snarling ]
Tao:
REALLY -- THAT'S
THE FIRST TIME YOU MET?
FUNNY, I DON'T REMEMBER THAT.
YOU WERE LONG
GONE BY THEN.
Tao:
THIS MUST BE IT.
Dar:
IT'S RUH'S BLOOD.
IT'S THIS WAY.
Dartanus:
ARE YOU GOING
TO LEAVE ME HERE?
WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?
GIVE ME A HAND.
WHERE ELSE SHOULD I BE?
YOU COULD USE
SOME HELP.
YOU COULD HAVE HELPED RUH.
TRUE --
THIS IS NOT MY DESTINY.
IT'S YOURS AND RUH'S.
ARE YOU SAYING
RUH'S SUPPOSED TO DIE?
SOMETIMES SACRIFICES
NEED TO BE MADE.
IS THIS ONE OF THOSE TIMES?
HOW MANY MUST DIE
SO I CAN FIND MY DESTINY?
HOW MANY
WILL DIE WITHOUT IT?
CAN'T YOU EVER GIVE US
A STRAIGHT ANSWER?
NOT WHEN THE ANSWER
IS A CIRCLE.
IT ENDS
WHERE IT BEGINS.
ZAD'S FIGHTING
IN THE MYDLANDS WHERE I MET RUH.
THE ARENA ISN'T
THERE ANYMORE.
ZAD'S IN XINCA, SO IS RUH.
[ voices whispering ]
Kelb:
IS THIS FOR REAL
OR IS SHE PUTTING ON AN ACT?
Zad:
DOES IT HAVE TO BE ONE
OR THE OTHER?
SHE'S BEEN LIKE THIS
SINCE SHE WAS SIX.
Kelb:
SOMEONE LIKE HER
BEARS
CLOSE SCRUTINY.
THAT'S MY FAMILY
YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.
IS THAT A YES?
DEFINITELY YES --
WATCH MY SISTER CLOSELY.
SHE HAS GREAT POWERS
BUT SHE'S NOT TO BE TRUSTED.
WHEN WILL I BE VICTORIOUS?
[ coughing ]
WHEN AM I GOING TO DEFEAT
THE BEASTMASTER?
THAT'S WHAT I'M TRYING
TO DIVINE,
IF YOU'D JUST SHUT UP.
[ coughing ]
CAN YOU DO IT
BEFORE I CHOKE TO DEATH?
PERHAPS LATER,
WHEN I CAN
CONCENTRATE.
AHHH.
WE HAVE
AN ARRANGEMENT.
WE'VE HAD ONE FOR SOME TIME.
YOU SCOURGE THE LAND
TO PROVE YOUR MANHOOD.
I SEE YOU FOR WHAT YOU ARE,
A COWARD.
THE AUGURY.
I PROVIDE
THE TIGER;
YOU TELL ME
THE BEASTMASTER'S
SECRETS.
IS THAT ALL?
[ roaring ]
[ gasping ]
WHAT ARE
YOU DOING?
I SEE, I SEE
THE BEASTMASTER.
HE APPROACHES.
A SPIRIT STALKS HIM.
PROTECTOR OR DESTROYER?
WHICH?
WHICH IS IT?
THAT'S ALL.
WHAT
DO YOU MEAN?
WHAT PROPHECY
IS THAT?
I MUST REST NOW.
WHOSE SPIRIT
IS IT?
WHERE'S
HIS FAMILY?
I DON'T KNOW.
THE TIGER WILL TELL ME.
WHEN I HAVE TORN THE BELLY
FROM THAT NOBLE BEAST,
YOU WILL KNOW
WHERE ALL DAR'S FAMILY HIDES.
ONE BY ONE, I'LL HUNT THEM DOWN
AND KILL THEM.
Dar:
NO, WE DIDN'T.
Tao:
JUST BECAUSE DARTANUS SAID
RUH'S IN XINCA.
IT'S NOT ABOUT
WHAT HE SAYS.
IT'S ABOUT
WHAT I FEEL.
I KNOW
RUH'S HERE.
HE NEVER TELLS US THE TRUTH.
HE POINTS
TO IT.
WE MUST
FIND IT OUT.
WHERE DO WE START?
[ squealing ]
Dar:
PODO, KODO, FIND RUH.
AFTER I BATHE,
WE MUST PURIFY THE ALTAR.
EVERYTHING MUST BE READY.
SOMEONE'S COMING.
I DON'T THINK WE'VE BEEN
PROPERLY INTRODUCED.
MY NAME IS KELB,
KNIGHT CAPTAIN OF XINCA.
SERVANT TO OUR KING.
OUR KING, YES.
I'M CERTAIN
YOU'RE A LOYAL SERVANT.
HE SENT YOU
TO KEEP
AN EYE ON ME.
IT'S NOT EXACTLY
HARDSHIP DUTY.
HMM.
YOU KNOW, KELB, I DON'T THINK
MY BROTHER ZAD REALLY
APPRECIATES
WHAT HE HAS IN YOU.
VALIANT SOLDIER, A LEADER.
A MAN OF YOUR STATURE
SHOULD BE TREATED
WITH MORE RESPECT.
KING ZAD IS A BRAVE WARRIOR
AND INSPIRED COMMANDER.
HE'S A BULLY.
I SHOULD KNOW --
I GREW UP WITH HIM.
ULTIMATELY, YOUR ALLEGIANCE
SHOULD BE TO YOURSELF.
ARE YOU SUGGESTING TREASON?
SUCH A HARSH WORD.
I'M SUGGESTING THAT TO DEFEAT
THE BEASTMASTER
AND DESTROY HIS FAMILY
MAY TAKE MORE CUNNING
THAN ANY ONE MAN
MAY POSSESS.
SOMETIMES A WOMAN'S TOUCH
IS REQUIRED.
IT WOULD BE A PRIVILEGE
TO SERVE ANYONE
WHO COULD DESTROY
THE BEASTMASTER.
I THINK IT'S TIME
FOR MY BATH.
LEAVE US.
NOW THEN, KELB, TELL ME
WHAT BROTHER DEAR'S BEEN UP TO,
AND LEAVE NOTHING OUT.
[ coughing ]
MAKE WAY
FOR THE KING'S KNIGHTS.
DO YOU KNOW
WHO I AM?
A PIECE
OF DIRT.
I USED TO BE A GLADIATOR.
I FOUGHT IN KING ZAD'S ARENA!
NEITHER MAN NOR BEAST
COULD STAND AGAINST MY SWORD.
MAYBE
IN YOUR DREAMS.
AHHH!
YOU CALL YOURSELVES KNIGHTS?
COWARDS AND VERMIN
ARE ALL I SEE.
WHAT'S THE MATTER?
NO SMALL DOGS TO HIT TODAY?
IT'S BRAVE,
BUT IT'S NOT WISE.
ZAD'S KNIGHTS AREN'T KNOWN
FOR THEIR HUMOUR.
YOU'RE RIGHT.
I'M JUST
A FOOLISH
OLD MAN,
TRYING TO RELIVE MEMORIES
OF PAST GLORIES
IN THE ARENA.
I DON'T REMEMBER
ANY GLORY IN ZAD'S ARENA.
A FELLOW WARRIOR.
Dar:
NOT EXACTLY.
DO YOU REMEMBER,
THERE WAS A TIGER,
A MAGNIFICENT
CREATURE.
I REMEMBER.
THEY SAY ZAD'S CAPTURED
ANOTHER TIGER.
SOUNDS LIKE A TRAP.
OF COURSE
IT IS.
IT WON'T BE THE FIRST TIME
RUH AND I HAVE BEEN
IN A TOUGH SPOT.
HOW DO YOU FEEL
ABOUT KILLING NOW?
I'M NOT GOING TO HURT YOU.
[ snarling ]
GET THE LEADER;
I'LL TAKE THE OTHERS.
Zad:
I HAVEN'T GOT ALL DAY!
[ roaring ]
KILL THEM BOTH.
Tao:
THAT WAS THE FIRST TIME
YOU AND RUH WERE ALLIES.
THIS IS THE GATEWAY
TO THE TUNNELS.
IT'S LOCKED.
NOW WHAT?
MAYBE YOU COULD USE THIS.
THE KEY TO THE GATE?
IF IT ISN'T,
I TOOK A BEATING FOR NOTHING.
YOU STARTED THAT FIGHTING
ON PURPOSE.
I THOUGHT THE KEY
MIGHT COME IN HANDY.
TAO, SHUT IT.
DAR, WHAT IF ZAD'S WAITING
FOR YOU?
ZAD ISN'T THE ONE
HE HAS TO FEAR.
[ squealing ]
KODO, PODO.
YOU FOLLOWED RUH'S SCENT?
GOOD WORK.
SHOW ME.
XINCA'S SO CIVILIZED.
NO MURDERS, HARDLY
ANY DEBAUCHERY TO SPEAK OF.
YOU'RE NOT LOSING YOUR TOUCH,
ARE YOU, ZAD?
Zad:
I'M A KING --
I HAVE MY RESPONSIBILITIES.
IT CAN'T BE FUN AND GAMES
ALL THE TIME, IDIOT.
YOU BOW TO ME.
THE WORST THING IS,
THERE'S NO GRATITUDE.
Callista:
IT MUST BE EXHAUSTING
RULING AN EMPIRE.
TAX COLLECTING, EXECUTIONS.
Zad:
THERE'S NO END TO IT.
Callista:
WHY MANAGE IT
ALL ON YOUR OWN?
DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT.
WHY?
I COULD REMAIN HERE.
YOU COULD GO OFF
WITH YOUR ARMY,
CONQUER NEW LANDS,
VANQUISH NEW PEOPLE.
[ chuckling ]
I RULE THIS LAND ALREADY.
YOU NEVER WERE GOOD
AT SHARING.
WELL, WELL, WELL.
WHAT?
YOU HAVE A VISITOR.
[ squealing ]
[ snarling ]
RUH.
I'VE BEEN WORRIED ABOUT YOU.
YOUR CUB CHEWED THROUGH THE ROPE
AND ESCAPED.
WE MUST GET YOU OUT OF HERE
SO TAO CAN HEAL YOU.
BEASTMASTER.
[ snarling ]
HOW GOOD OF YOU
TO JOIN THE PARTY.
[ laughing ]
HERE WE ARE AGAIN.
YOU, ME, AND THE TIGER.
AHH, JUST LIKE OLD TIMES.
YOU CHEATED ME
OUT OF A KILL
ONCE BEFORE.
[ tiger roaring ]
IT WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN.
MY, MY, MY.
IT'S TRUE WHAT THEY SAY.
OH, I'M AFRAID
THE POWDER'S WEARING OFF.
JUST IN TIME
FOR THE GAMES.
Dar:
YOU'VE GOT ME.
SET RUH FREE.
Zad:
WHY, OF COURSE.
RIGHT AFTER I GIVE
ALL MY MONEY TO THE POOR.
CAN'T YOU SEE HE'S DYING?
[ moaning ]
YOU SHOULD BE MORE CONCERNED
WITH YOURSELF.
I COULD KILL YOU,
RIGHT NOW.
NOT UNTIL THE AUGURY,
YOU FOOL.
NOT UNTIL THE SUN IS
AT ITS ZENITH
AND WE ENTER
THE THIRD LUNAR PHASE.
THEN I DON'T CARE
WHAT YOU DO WITH THEM.
NOTHING CAN STOP ME NOW,
BEASTMASTER, NOT EVEN YOU.
MOTHER WOULD BE SO PROUD.
NOW, WHERE WAS I?
OH, YES.
THIS IS MUCH BETTER
THAN I EXPECTED.
Tao:
COME ON, DAR, WHERE ARE YOU?
YOU WON'T FIND HIM OUT HERE.
WHERE IS HE?
IN TROUBLE.
IT'S LIKE
A MAZE.
IT COULD TAKE ME A YEAR
TO FIND HIM.
Dartanus:
DON'T UNDERESTIMATE THE BONDS
OF TRUE FRIENDSHIP.
YOU AND DAR
ARE ALREADY LINKED.
YOUR INDIVIDUAL DESTINIES
HAVE BECOME AS ONE.
WHY ARE YOU HERE?
IT'S NOT OBVIOUS?
I'M HELPING.
YOU COULD DO
SOMETHING USEFUL,
LIKE KILL KING ZAD.
DAR'S VICTORY IS NOT A GIFT
I CAN GIVE.
IT'S A PRIZE HE HAS TO WIN.
BUT WHAT IF YOU--
OH, GREAT.
SO IT'S TRUE.
YOU HAVE DAR.
HE'S JUST A MAN.
AND SOON THE REST
OF HIS ANIMAL FAMILY
WILL BE MINE.
KING ELDAR'S BLOODLINE,
EXTERMINATED.
ONE BY ONE
I SHALL HUNT THEM DOWN
AND RIP
THEIR BEATING HEARTS
FROM THEIR CHESTS.
AND THE EVIL ONE
SHALL REIGN SUPREME.
WITH ME AT HIS SIDE,
OF COURSE.
KING ZAD?
YES.
I'M AFRAID BALCIFER
WON'T NEED
BOTH BROTHER AND SISTER.
ONE OF US
WILL BECOME EXPENDABLE.
DOES THAT TROUBLE YOU,
CAPTAIN KELB?
YOU HATE HIM, ADMIT IT.
A SOLDIER LIKE YOU
SHOULD HATE A TYRANT LIKE ZAD.
I'M THE FUTURE OF XINCA.
SERVE ME; I'LL PROTECT YOU.
LONG LIVE
THE QUEEN.
[ squealing ]
[ coughing ]
[ moaning ]
OW!
[ moaning ]
[ moaning ]
UNNH!
YOU'LL NEED THESE.
YOU STOLE
THE KEYS.
HOW DID YOU--
DOESN'T MATTER.
THEY'VE GOT DAR.
WE'VE GOT ZAD,
RIGHT WHERE WE WANT HIM.
RUH'S
HALF DEAD,
AND DAR'S
IN CHAINS.
ONCE RUH AND DAR
ARE IN THE ARENA,
EVERYTHING WILL BE FINE.
WHY DO THEY
HAVE TO FIGHT?
THERE MUST BE
ANOTHER WAY.
I WISH THERE WAS.
I DON'T
BELIEVE IT.
YOU'VE GOT THE KEYS.
PROVE ME WRONG.
WATCH ME.
[ whispering ]
[ keys rattling ]
HOW DID YOU FIND US?
THE BONDS OF FRIENDSHIP.
FORGET ABOUT IT.
HA, YOU HAD TO BE THERE.
AHHH!
DAR, HERE, DRINK THIS.
THIS WILL HELP.
I'VE MADE A POULTICE.
THIS WILL CLEAN THE WOUND.
[ purring ]
YOU'LL FIND SOME HERBS
INSIDE THE BAG.
SEE IF RUH WILL CHEW
WITCH-HAZEL AND MYRRH.
[ licking and purring ]
WHAT DID HE SAY?
HE APPRECIATES YOUR HELP.
THAT'S NOT WHAT HE SAID.
[ door opening ]
KNIGHTS -- YOU'D BETTER GO.
CAN'T LEAVE
YOU HERE.
LEAVE THE HERBS.
GO.
[ Podo and Kodo squealing ]
WHAT DID YOU FIND?
I DON'T CARE
WHAT CALLISTA SAYS.
SHE'LL NEVER HURT MY FAMILY.
DON'T YOU WORRY ABOUT THAT.
GO.
[ snarling ]
I'M SAVING YOUR LIFE AGAIN.
JUST LIKE THE FIRST TIME
WE MET.
[ roaring ]
IF YOU DON'T KILL THEM,
I'LL SLAUGHTER YOU ALL!
ARGH!
[ snarling ]
[ snarling ]
WHAT DO YOU MEAN I COULDN'T
HAVE ESCAPED WITHOUT YOU?
I SAVED YOU, REMEMBER?
DON'T BE LIKE THIS --
I KNOW YOU WERE THERE.
[ purring ]
AND THEN YOU DID WHAT?
[ moaning ]
[ roaring ]
[ screaming ]
THAT'S SOME IMAGINATION
THAT YOU HAVE.
TAO'S HERBS ARE GIVING YOU
ILLUSIONS.
THINK YOU'RE STRONG ENOUGH
TO MAKE IT OUT OF THE TUNNELS?
[ snarling ]
[ choking ]
LEAVING SO SOON?
I'M HURT.
YOU MIGHT AS WELL
TEAR OUT MY HEART.
DON'T TEMPT ME.
I UNDERSTAND HOW YOU FEEL.
THE TIGER STAYS WITH ME.
I THOUGHT YOU WANTED US
TO FIGHT TOGETHER.
SO TOUCHING --
THEY WANT TO DIE, SIDE BY SIDE.
[ purring ]
YOU'RE BOTH GOING TO DIE.
AHH!
BUT NOT TOGETHER.
YOUR BLOOD WILL DRENCH
MY ARENA.
AND THE TIGER'S BLOOD
WILL BE SPILLED
IN THE SERVICE
OF THE EVIL ONE.
A SACRIFICE!
A DIVINATION, AN AUGURY.
AH, JUST IMAGINE.
WITHIN THE HOUR,
RUH'S HEART,
SPEARED BY YOUR OWN STAFF.
MMM.
AND WHEN HIS STEAMING ENTRAILS
LIE ON THE ALTAR OF DARKNESS,
ALL WILL BECOME CLEAR TO ME.
EACH OF YOUR HIDDEN FAMILY
WILL BE FOUND
AND HUNTED DOWN.
[ choking ]
THE LINE OF ELDAR
WILL PERISH FOREVER.
THE LORD OF DARKNESS
WILL TRIUMPH
AND SO WILL I.
JUST SET RUH FREE.
Zad:
IN CASE YOU HAVEN'T NOTICED,
YOU'RE IN NO POSITION
TO MAKE REQUESTS.
NOW THAT YOUR FAMILY
WILL BE FOUND,
I CAN FINALLY
ENJOY WATCHING YOU DIE.
[ panting ]
Zad:
THIS BRINGS BACK MEMORIES, KELB.
CRIES OF THE INNOCENT
AS THEY PLEAD FOR MERCY.
SCREAMS OF THE WOUNDED
AS THEY'RE CUT DOWN.
IT'S HARD
NOT TO FEEL SENTIMENTAL.
THIS TIME
THE BEASTMASTER
WON'T ESCAPE.
YEAH.
RULES ARE SIMPLE.
IN FACT,
THERE'S ONLY ONE.
FIGHT TO THE DEATH.
DEATH, DEATH!
DEATH!
[ blasting ]
THEY'RE PLAYING MY SONG.
[ horn blasting ]
AHH.
BEGIN!
[ grunting ]
YOU STILL CARRY HER SCENT.
HAD TO GET
CLOSE TO HER.
WIN HER TRUST.
UNNH!
I HOPE YOUR EFFORTS PAID OFF.
I'M TO SLIT YOUR THROAT
WHILE YOU SLEEP.
HARDLY ORIGINAL.
I EXPECTED MORE FLAIR
FROM DEAR LITTLE SISTER.
I KNOW YOU WOULDN'T BETRAY ME.
NEVER, SIRE.
I KNOW THAT.
I JUST WISH I COULD BE CERTAIN
OF YOUR LOYALTY.
YOU KNOW I WOULD GIVE MY LIFE
FOR MY KING.
THAT'S IT.
THANK YOU.
NOW I'M SURE.
[ yelling ]
AHHH!
[ grunting ]
[ yelling ]
SHOULD HAVE STAYED AWAY
FROM MY SISTER.
THAT WOMAN IS POISON.
[ voices whispering ]
[ purring ]
THE STAFF.
BALCIFER, LORD OF DARKNESS,
ACCEPT THIS OFFERING
FROM YOUR HUMBLE SERVANT.
IS IT YOUR WISH
THAT I SHALL USE THIS BLADE
TO REVEAL THE SECRETS
THAT LIE WITHIN YOUR POWER?
AH, IT IS TIME.
[ grunting ]
OPEN THE CAGE.
STOP HIM!
AHHH!
ARGH!
[ snarling ]
[ snarling ]
[ snarling ]
KILL HER OR SAVE DAR.
[ snarling ]
AGHH!
AHHH!
GET IN THERE!
AGHH!
THIS CALLS
FOR SOMETHING SPECIAL.
NO!
I'VE WAITED TOO LONG FOR THIS.
HE'S MINE -- AHHH!
I'LL ALMOST BE SORRY
TO SEE YOU GO.
DAR!
[ clanging ]
[ grunting ]
[ clanging ]
GET HIM!
GO.
GO.
I CAME AS FAST AS I COULD.
RUH'S SAFE -- DARTANUS?
HE'LL BE FINE.
[ clanging ]
Zad:
SPIRITS, VISIONS --
HOGWASH!
THE TIGER ESCAPED,
ALONG WITH THE BEASTMASTER,
WHO, THANK BALCIFER,
IS STILL ALIVE.
AND WHY?
YOU LEARNED NOTHING
ABOUT HIS QUEST.
Callista:
YOU BLAME ME FOR THIS.
Zad:
YOU ARE PSYCHIC.
Callista:
IF THIS IS ANYONE'S FAULT,
IT'S YOURS
FOR NOT TRUSTING ME.
Zad:
FORGET ABOUT RULING
AT MY SIDE.
UNLESS YOU'RE OUT OF XINCA
WITHIN ONE HOUR,
YOU CAN FORGET
ABOUT EVERYTHING,
EXCEPT MAYBE YOUR HEAD
ON A PIKE.
YOU AND KELB
MAKE A FINE COUPLE.
ARGH!
[ squealing ]
[ purring ]
I GUESS THIS MAKES US EVEN.
NO -- IT DOESN'T MAKE IT
TWICE IN A ROW
YOU SAVED MY LIFE.
ADMIT THAT YOU'RE WRONG.
Dartanus:
ACTUALLY, YOU BOTH ARE.
WOULD YOU LIKE TO KNOW
WHAT HAPPENED IN ZAD'S ARENA?
IF YOU DON'T KILL THEM,
I'LL SLAUGHTER YOU ALL!
ARGH -- IF YOU WANT SOMETHING
DONE RIGHT...
I'M YOUR KING.
NOT MINE.
AGHH!
[ yelling ]
IT WAS YOU.
Tao:
WHAT WERE YOU DOING
IN THE MYDLANDS?
Dartanus:
LOOKING OUT FOR YOU.
I WAS THERE WHEN THOSE BONDS
OF FRIENDSHIP WERE FORMED.
I CAME HERE NOW TO REMIND YOU
OF THEIR STRENGTH.
I SWORE TO BE THERE FOR YOU
WHEN YOU NEEDED ME.
I HAVE BEEN, I WILL BE...
FROM NOW ON.
SO WILL THIS.
MY FATHER'S SWORD.
THE WORLD'S CHANGING, DAR.
YOU'VE SEEN IT --
EVIL GROWS STRONGER.
YOU'RE FIGHTING
FOR YOUR LIFE.
YOU MUST GROW STRONGER, TOO.
YOU MUST DEFEND YOURSELF,
YOUR FRIENDS,
THE WHOLE WORLD.
THAT'S WHAT ALL THIS WAS ABOUT.
A LESSON HARD WON.
A TEST YOU NEEDED TO PASS.
YOU CANNOT HOPE TO FIND
YOUR TRUE PATH WITHOUT THIS.
THIS SWORD WAS FORGED
FOR YOUR FATHER,
ITS BLADE AS PURE AND STRONG
AS THE MAN WHO WIELDS IT.
IT'S YOURS NOW.
