BeastMaster (1999–2002): Season 3, Episode 7 - Slayer's Return - full transcript
Dar risks his life to prevent Zuraya from marrying Rolan - a timeless monster who seeks his eternal rebirth through their child.
WE THANK YOU, GODS,
FOR BRINGING US ZURAYA.
IN TWO DAYS,
SHE WILL JOIN WITH KING ROLAN
AND BECOME
THE VESSEL OF OUR REBIRTH.
[ growling ]
FAVOUR THEIR UNION
WITH AN HEIR
TO THE KINGDOM OF TIRA.
[ crowd chattering excitedly ]
FINDING YOU
HAS MADE MY LIFE COMPLETE.
LET US DRINK
TO THE END OF LONELINESS.
[ growling ]
PEOPLE OF TIRA,
REJOICE IN OUR FUTURE QUEEN.
Crowd:
YES, YES, WONDERFUL!
[ growling ]
SLAYER, NO!
[ growling ]
SLAYER, STOP IT!
I'M SORRY -- HE'S BEEN ACTING
SO STRANGE LATELY.
YOU DID TEACH HIM TO KILL.
ONLY TO PROTECT ME.
YOU'RE IN NO DANGER HERE.
I KNOW --
HE WON'T DO IT AGAIN.
LET'S PUT THIS
UNPLEASANT BUSINESS BEHIND US.
THIS IS, AFTER ALL,
A MOST JOYOUS OCCASION.
Rolan:
NAGHA IS RIGHT.
NOTHING MUST SPOIL THE
PREPARATIONS FOR OUR WEDDING.
WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU, SLAYER?
CAN'T YOU SEE
HOW MUCH I LOVE ROLAN?
WHY WON'T YOU GIVE HIM A CHANCE?
EH?
HE HAS LIFTED
MY CURSE OF LONELINESS.
I KNOW YOU WANT YOUR FREEDOM,
BUT WE'RE SAFE HERE --
THERE'S NOTHING TO BE AFRAID OF.
DO YOU WANT TO GO OUT?
[ thudding ]
HELLO?
IS ANYONE THERE?
[ rattling ]
YOU'LL HAVE TO WAIT
UNTIL TOMORROW.
I CAN BARELY KEEP MY EYES OPEN.
NO, NO-O-O-O!
[ screaming ]
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.
OHHH!
AH!
[ splashing ]
I FELT A SHARP PAIN
IN MY SHOULDER.
IT WAS LIKE I'D BEEN WOUNDED.
THIS HAPPENED
BEFORE,
WHEN YOUR SISTER LYCIA WAS HIT
WITH AN ARROW.
THINK WE'VE FOUND
ONE OF YOUR FAMILY?
I THINK SO.
THEN WE'LL HAVE TO FIND
WHOEVER IT IS.
DO YOU KNOW WHICH ANIMAL
TO LOOK FOR?
NO --
IT COULD BE ANYWHERE.
MAYBE THERE'S A CLUE IN HERE.
ACCORDING TO THE BOOK,
THERE ARE STILL FOUR ANIMALS:
THE BIRD, A HORSE, A WOLF
AND A GOAT.
[ rooster crowing ]
MMM.
OHH.
SLAYER?
SLAYER?
ROLAN!
YOU
SLEPT WELL?
I WAS SO TIRED.
MUST BE
THE EXCITEMENT.
LAST NIGHT THE DOOR WAS LOCKED.
FOR YOUR OWN
PROTECTION.
THE VILLAGE
HAS BECOME
DANGEROUS
AT NIGHT.
SLAYER'S MISSING --
HAVE YOU SEEN HIM?
NO, BUT,
THEN,
HE DOESN'T
ADORE ME.
IT'S NATURAL FOR A WILD BEAST
TO WANDER.
HE'S RUN OFF BEFORE.
HE'S ALWAYS BACK
BY DAWN.
IT BREAKS MY HEART TO SEE YOU
SO UNHAPPY OVER A PET.
SLAYER IS MY FAMILY.
HE STOOD BY ME ALL THOSE YEARS
I WAS CURSED TO BE ALONE.
YOU'RE NOT ALONE ANYMORE.
I KNOW,
BUT I COULDN'T STAND
TO LOSE HIM.
DON'T WORRY, I'LL DO EVERYTHING
IN MY POWER TO FIND YOUR WOLF.
THANKS.
SLAYER?
SLAYER!
[ neighing ]
DAR!
SOMEONE'S COMING, FAST.
THEY'RE GOING TO KILL
THEMSELVES.
NO, SHE WON'T.
DAR.
IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME.
TOO LONG.
I'VE THOUGHT ABOUT YOU.
ME, TOO.
YOU KNOW, I HAD A FEELING
I'D SEE YOU AGAIN.
IT'S GOOD TO BE HERE.
Tao:
ZURAYA!
WHAT BRINGS YOU TO ARAKANN?
SLAYER IS MISSING.
YOUR WOLF.
HE RAN OFF LAST NIGHT.
I'VE LOOKED EVERYWHERE --
I CAN'T FIND HIM.
MAYBE YOU COULD HELP ME.
YOU KNOW THAT DAR
CAN'T COMMUNICATE WITH SLAYER.
WHERE DID YOU
SEE HIM LAST?
IN TIRA.
TRAVELLERS TALK OF TIRA.
ITS HEALERS HAVE THE ABILITY
TO PROLONG LIFE.
WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN DOING THERE?
TOMORROW I MARRY THE KING.
WE HAVE TRIED.
WE'LL NEED MORE.
ROHAN, HERE YOU ARE.
DAR, I'M NOT SURE
IT'S A COINCIDENCE.
MAYBE YOU COULDN'T TALK
WITH SLAYER
BECAUSE HE'S ONE OF YOUR FAMILY.
Dar:
UNTIL I KNOW FOR SURE,
I WON'T SAY ANYTHING TO ZURAYA.
Tao:
I CAN'T BELIEVE
SHE'S GETTING MARRIED.
WHY NOT?
SHE DESERVES
TO BE HAPPY.
I KNOW.
I JUST THOUGHT
THE TWO OF YOU WERE...
READY?
LET'S GO.
SURE YOU DON'T WANT ME TO COME?
IT'LL BE FASTER
IF WE TRAVEL THIS WAY.
BE CAREFUL.
COME ON.
[ hooves thudding ]
TIRA'S NOT
MUCH FURTHER.
ZURAYA, STOP.
DO YOU EVER BRING SLAYER HERE
TO RUN?
SOMETIMES -- WHY?
HE WAS HERE.
HOW RECENTLY?
NOT LONG.
WHAT'S HAPPENED?
UP UNTIL HERE
HE WAS MOVING EASILY.
SUDDENLY, HE TOOK OFF.
WHAT IS IT?
BLOOD.
SLAYER'S?
WE HAVE TO
FIND HIM.
IT'S STILL WARM --
HE CAN'T BE FAR.
HUH?
UHH!
OHH!
ARGHHH!
[ whining ]
SLAYER!
I'M SORRY,
THIS IS GOING TO HURT.
THE WOUND ISN'T THAT BAD --
WHY ISN'T HE MOVING?
HE'S IN SHOCK.
WHO WERE THOSE MEN?
MY FUTURE HUSBAND'S
ROYAL HUNTERS.
THIS IS
THE IMPERIAL SIGN OF TIRA.
TAO MUST TREAT HIM.
TIRA'S CLOSER, AND WE HAVE
MANY SKILLED PHYSICIANS.
NO, ROLAN'S HUNTERS TRIED
TO KILL HIM.
ROLAN HAS A LOT TO ANSWER FOR,
BUT HE WOULD NOT REFUSE ME THIS.
I HOPE YOU'RE RIGHT.
Rolan:
ZURAYA!
I'VE BEEN SO WORRIED.
EVERYONE HAS BEEN LOOKING
FOR YOU.
LIKE THEM?
THEY TRIED TO KILL SLAYER
WITH ONE OF YOUR ARROWS.
IT'S TRUE.
I GAVE THE ORDER.
HOW COULD YOU?
PERHAPS WE SHOULD DISCUSS THIS
IN PRIVATE.
DAR IS A GOOD FRIEND.
YOU CAN SPEAK IN FRONT OF HIM.
THE BEASTMASTER.
I'VE HEARD OF YOUR EXPLOITS.
I'M SORRY TO MEET YOU UNDER
SUCH PAINFUL CIRCUMSTANCES.
WHY DID YOU DO IT?
I DIDN'T WANT TO TELL YOU THIS.
I WAS HOPING YOU'D ALWAYS
BELIEVE YOUR WOLF JUST RAN AWAY.
Zuraya:
DID YOU THINK I WOULD REST
UNTIL I FOUND HIM?
I KNOW HOW MUCH YOU CARE FOR
HIM, BUT SLAYER IS A KILLER.
Zuraya:
NO, HE'S JUST NOT USED TO YOU,
YET.
I'M NOT TALKING
ABOUT OUR INCIDENT YESTERDAY.
THAT WAS NOTHING --
GUARDS.
AFTER HE GOT AWAY FROM YOU
LAST NIGHT,
HE DID SOMETHING MUCH WORSE.
NO.
NOT SLAYER --
HE COULDN'T HAVE DONE THIS.
Rolan:
I KNOW YOU WISH IT WERE TRUE --
SO DO I --
BUT THAT'S HIS FUR IN HER HAND.
I WAS TEACHING HIM
TO LIVE AMONG PEOPLE.
Rolan:
AFTER AN ANIMAL
HAS TASTED HUMAN BLOOD
IT'S DIFFICULT TO CHANGE
ITS BEHAVIOUR.
DON'T YOU AGREE, BEASTMASTER?
SOMETIMES.
BUT EVERY ANIMAL
IS DIFFERENT.
Zuraya:
I DON'T BELIEVE IT.
IF DAR HADN'T REMOVED THE ARROW,
SLAYER WOULD BE DEAD.
UNFORTUNATELY, YOUR FRIEND HAS
ONLY PROLONGED HIS SUFFERING.
THE ARROW WAS POISONED.
WHY?
WHY WOULD YOU POISON--
YOUR WOLF IS A TRAINED KILLER.
I CAN STILL
TEACH HIM.
I CAN TAKE HIM AWAY WITH ME.
THEN HE WOULDN'T TROUBLE YOU.
IT'S TOO LATE.
WHAT KIND OF POISON WAS IT?
IS THERE AN ANTIDOTE?
IF THERE IS,
WE'VE NEVER FOUND IT.
SO IT'S FATAL.
ALMOST ALWAYS.
THERE IS A CHANCE
HE COULD BE SAVED.
THAT DEPENDS ON THE WOLF.
ONLY TIME WILL TELL --
TAKE HIM TO HIS PEN.
I'LL STAY WITH SLAYER.
ZURAYA'S FRIEND MUST NOT DISRUPT
THE WEDDING.
Rolan:
DON'T YOU THINK THAT I,
OF ALL PEOPLE, KNOW THAT?
STOP WORRYING.
HE'S CALLED THE BEASTMASTER --
HE TALKS TO THE ANIMALS.
Nagha:
DON'T LAUGH --
WHAT WILL THE WOLF TELL HIM?
Rolan:
I DON'T THINK THE WOLF HAS MUCH
TO SAY THESE DAYS.
HE'LL BE DEAD BEFORE HE WAKES.
Nagha:
WHY DO YOU TAKE SUCH CHANCES?
YOU SHOULD LOCK ZURAYA UP
AND BE DONE WITH IT.
Rolan:
YOU WORRY TOO MUCH.
ZURAYA IS AS EAGER
FOR THIS WEDDING AS I.
YOU'VE SEEN HOW MUCH
SHE LOVES ME.
Nagha:
LOVE IS A LUXURY
YOU CAN'T AFFORD.
YOUR TIME IS RUNNING OUT.
YOU'RE NOT GETTING ANY YOUNGER.
EVERYTHING WILL HAPPEN
AS IT SHOULD,
AS LONG AS YOU'VE PREPARED HER.
SHE MUST DRINK THE FINAL POTION
TONIGHT.
TOMORROW SHE WILL BE READY
FOR THE RENEWAL.
BUT AS THE
TIME APPROACHES,
MY DESIRE FOR HER INCREASES.
THE ANTICIPATION
IS OVERWHELMING.
THIS IS A GOOD SIGN.
I WILL DOUBLE THE GUARD
ON HER DOOR TONIGHT.
YES, WE MUST PROTECT HER.
ZURAYA WILL BE THE VESSEL
OF MY REBIRTH.
[ calling ]
SHARAK, FIND TAO
AND BRING HIM HERE.
I NEED HIS HELP
TO SAVE MY BROTHER.
Zuraya:
AT LEAST HE'S NOT WORSE.
THANKS FOR STAYING.
ARE YOU REALLY GOING
TO TAKE HIM BACK TO ARAKANN?
HE'LL BE SAFE THERE.
THAT'S HOW I FEEL HERE.
LIKE NOTHING CAN HURT ME.
WHEN ROLAN FOUND ME,
I FELT REALLY SAFE.
I THINK THAT'S WHAT HAPPENS
WHEN YOU FALL IN LOVE.
HOW DID YOU MEET?
IT WAS STRANGE.
MY HORSE FELL LAME ONE DAY.
I STOPPED TO TREAT HER.
ROLAN WAS JUST THERE.
BY HIMSELF?
WITH A HUNTING PARTY AND NAGHA.
ROLAN INVITED US BACK TO TIRA.
HIS HEALERS WERE WONDERFUL --
THE HORSE IMPROVED.
THEN WHAT HAPPENED?
THEN I REALIZED I WASN'T LONELY
ANYMORE.
YEAH, THAT'S A GOOD FEELING.
GOOD?
FOR THE FIRST TIME,
I FEEL LIKE I BELONG SOMEWHERE,
LIKE I HAVE
A HOME.
I'M GLAD
YOU FOUND YOUR HAPPINESS.
THANKS.
YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE
WHO CAN HELP SLAYER.
ZURAYA, DEAREST.
WHAT ARE YOU STILL DOING HERE?
NOTHING --
WE WERE JUST TALKING.
EXCUSE ME, BEASTMASTER,
BUT IT'S TIME FOR
ZURAYA'S RITUAL PURIFICATION.
ALREADY?
I'M SURE
OUR TIME-HONOURED RITUALS
MUST SEEM A LITTLE TEDIOUS
TO ONE AS FULL OF LIFE AS YOU,
BUT YOU ARE TO BE OUR QUEEN.
DON'T LET ME STOP YOU.
NAGHA WILL MEET YOU
AT THE BATHS.
IN OUR TRADITION,
FROM NOW UNTIL THE CEREMONY,
THE BRIDE CAN SEE NO ONE OUTSIDE
THE WEDDING PARTY,
BUT YOU NEED NOT GO LONELY.
MMM!
THAT'S NOT NECESSARY.
I INSIST.
THEY HAVE BEEN TOLD TO CATER
TO YOUR EVERY COMFORT.
MMM!
A DRINK?
THANK YOU,
BUT I'M NOT THIRSTY.
HAVE
SOME FRUIT.
I'M NOT HUNGRY, THANK YOU.
SOMETHING WRONG?
YOU LOCKED THE DOOR.
FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY,
I ASSURE YOU.
NO ONE SHOULD WANDER THE VILLAGE
AFTER DARK.
SO I'VE HEARD.
WHY?
AN ANCIENT EVIL SPIRIT
STALKS OUR VILLAGE BY NIGHT.
AND THERE'S NOTHING YOU CAN DO?
ROLAN'S VIGILANCE AND DEDICATION
PROTECT US.
FOR YOUR SAFETY,
HE HAS PLACED TWO GUARDS
OUTSIDE YOUR DOOR.
IS THERE, UM...
ANYTHING ELSE YOU NEED?
NO, YOU'VE BEEN
MORE THAN HOSPITABLE.
THANK YOU.
SEE IF THIS GOES ANYWHERE.
[ pleasure girls moaning ]
GOOD WORK --
THANK YOU.
[ guard sneezing ]
[ sniffling ]
[ grunting ]
REMEMBER WHAT THE KING SAID --
WATCH FOR THE GREY ANIMAL.
WHAT IS IT
ABOUT THIS GREY ANIMAL?
IT KILLED A WOMAN TODAY.
Zuraya:
WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?
Rolan:
NO REGRETS?
Zuraya:
OF COURSE NOT.
NOT EVEN YOUR BEASTMASTER?
Zuraya:
I TOLD YOU BEFORE,
HE'S JUST A FRIEND.
I LOVE YOU.
BEFORE I MET YOU,
THERE WAS NO ONE.
SINCE I'VE MET YOU,
THERE CAN BE NO ONE ELSE.
Rolan:
I HAVE WAITED A LONG TIME
FOR MY QUEEN TO ARRIVE.
ONLY A FEW MORE HOURS.
AFTER ALL THIS TIME ON MY OWN,
IT'S HARD TO BELIEVE.
DON'T WE DESERVE
HAPPINESS?
Nagha:
ZURAYA -- I'VE BEEN LOOKING
ALL OVER FOR YOU.
DON'T BE ANGRY AT HER --
IT'S MY FAULT.
YOU SHOULD KNOW BETTER, SIRE.
IT'S TIME FOR ZURAYA
TO DRINK HER TONIC.
DO I HAVE TO --
IT MAKES ME SO TIRED.
YOU'VE GOT A BIG DAY TOMORROW --
YOU WANT TO BE READY.
JUST ONE MORE NIGHT,
THEN NO MORE TONIC.
IT WILL ASSURE THE BIRTH
OF YOUR SON.
THAT'S GOOD.
GOOD NIGHT.
WHEN NEXT WE MEET,
YOU'LL BECOME MY QUEEN.
I UNDERSTAND
YOUR HUNGER.
DO YOU, NAGHA?
DO YOU KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE
TO FEEL THE LIFE BURNING IN HER,
WHILE YOU YOURSELF GROW OLD?
ZURAYA IS
OUR SALVATION.
IF I DIDN'T LOCK HER
AWAY FROM YOU,
YOU'D RUIN
EVERYTHING.
IS THIS HOW YOU SPEAK
TO YOUR ETERNAL KING?
YOU CANNOT
TOUCH HER,
UNTIL THE POTION
HAS TAKEN EFFECT.
IF YOU TAKE
HER BEFORE,
YOUR SPIRIT WILL
NOT INHABIT
THE CHILD
SHE CONCEIVES.
YOUR REBIRTH WILL
NOT HAPPEN.
IT'S ONLY
TWO MORE HOURS.
IF ONLY SHE DIDN'T HAVE TO DIE.
YOU'RE NOT GROWING ATTACHED
TO HER, ARE YOU?
SHE LOVES ME.
THERE IS NO OTHER WAY.
YOU CAN ONLY BE REBORN
THROUGH HER CHILD.
SHE CANNOT SURVIVE THE BIRTH.
THE NAGHA HAVE SERVED YOU
FOR A THOUSAND YEARS.
WE WILL SERVE YOU
FOR A THOUSAND MORE.
Guard:
YOU CHECKED THE FAR END?
Guard 2:
I SAW NOTHING.
[ squeaking ]
WHAT WAS THAT?
DID YOU
HEAR ANYTHING?
DRAW THEM AWAY --
BE CAREFUL.
I'LL BE BACK AS SOON AS I CAN.
DID THE KING SAY
THERE WAS TWO OF THEM?
YOU FOUND TAO?
TAKE ME TO HIM --
WE HAVEN'T MUCH TIME.
SHARAK FLEW TOWARDS THE SUN.
SO, IF I TAKE THIS AXIS,
TIRA SHOULD BE RIGHT...HERE!
IT'S NICE TO SEE YOU, TOO.
SO, HOW WAS YOUR JOURNEY?
SHARAK SAYS IT WAS EASY.
FOR AN EAGLE, MAYBE.
LAST TIME I LOOKED,
I DIDN'T HAVE WINGS.
THIS WILL BE VERY USEFUL
ONE DAY -- YOU'LL SEE.
THE MOMENT I SAW SHARAK,
I KNEW IT WAS SERIOUS.
SLAYER'S YOUR BROTHER?
HE'S BEEN POISONED.
WE MUST BE CLOSE TO TIRA --
CAN THE KING HELP?
HE'S THE PROBLEM -- HE'LL KILL
ZURAYA AND WANTS SLAYER DEAD.
I HAVE POTIONS FOR SPIDER BITE,
SNAKE VENOM, BLACK THISTLE.
I CAN'T GUARANTEE
THESE POTIONS WILL WORK.
Dar:
IF YOU CAN'T SAVE SLAYER,
MY QUEST IS OVER.
WE'RE WASTING TIME --
LET'S GO.
TAO, THIS WAY.
[ chuckling ]
[ chuckling ]
OH, SORRY.
BUT IF YOU COULD SEE
WHAT I WAS SEEING...
YOU'RE ON DUTY.
WHOA!
YOU LOOK LIKE RED-BLOODED MEN.
YOU SHOULD TAKE A LOOK AT THIS.
IT'LL CHANGE YOUR LIFE.
KEEP TURNING.
WHILE I TURN THE BOTTOM --
I'LL TURN IT HERE --
ANY SECOND NOW.
CAN I SEE?
[ thunking ]
I TOLD YOU, VERY USEFUL.
HOW LONG HAS HE BEEN LIKE THIS?
SINCE I
FOUND HIM.
DO YOU KNOW THE TYPE OF POISON?
BET HIS ROYAL PHYSICIANS KNOW.
THEY WANT HIM DEAD, SO THEY SAID
THERE'S NO ANTIDOTE.
IT'S UP TO US TO SAVE HIM.
EYES ARE GLAZED OVER,
TONGUE'S DRY.
HIS HEART'S BARELY BEATING.
CAN YOU
CURE HIM?
I'VE SEEN THESE SIGNS BEFORE --
I CAN NEUTRALIZE THE POISON.
I SAW MY TEACHER HEAL A MAN
WITH THE SAME SIGNS.
HE USED BLOODROOT,
MOONBERRY, WILLOW BARK.
THAT SHOULD WORK ON A WOLF.
TAKE KODO, PODO AND SHARAK.
FIND WHAT
YOU NEED.
WHAT
ABOUT YOU?
WEDDING'S TONIGHT -- I MUST STOP
ZURAYA BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE.
DON'T GIVE UP.
WE'LL BE BACK.
IDIOTS.
HOW COULD YOU LET HIM ESCAPE?
FIND HIM!
ZURAYA.
ZURAYA.
DAR!
YOU HAVE
TO WAKE UP.
OHH -- THE TONIC THEY GIVE ME
MAKES ME SLEEP.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?
I CAN'T SEE ANYONE
UNTIL THE WEDDING.
YOU CAN'T
MARRY ROLAN.
WHAT?
HE'S NOT WHO YOU THINK HE IS.
WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
I HEARD HIM TALKING TO NAGHA.
AFTER THE BABY'S BORN, HE...
...HE'S GOING TO KILL YOU.
WHY ARE YOU SAYING THIS?
BECAUSE IT'S TRUE.
NO!
HE LOVES ME --
I BELONG HERE.
NO, YOU DON'T --
HE'S A MONSTER.
SLAYER KNEW,
SO HE ATTACKED HIM.
NO, NO.
IF WE LEAVE NOW,
WE CAN GET SLAYER AND GO.
Rolan:
ZURAYA?
IS THE BEASTMASTER WITH YOU?
COME WITH ME.
[ pounding ]
PLEASE.
YES, HE'S HERE.
BEASTMASTER.
IS THIS THE WAY
YOU BETRAY OUR HOSPITALITY?
DID HE
HURT YOU?
NO.
DON'T GO THROUGH WITH THIS.
DAR, YOU'RE ONLY
MAKING IT WORSE.
HE DOESN'T UNDERSTAND
OUR ANCIENT WAYS.
WHAT DO YOU KNOW
ABOUT HIS ANCIENT WAYS?
WHAT HAVE YOU TOLD HER?
WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
BEASTMASTER,
ADMIT IT'S TOO LATE.
ZURAYA AND I ARE PLEDGED
TO EACH OTHER.
YOU'D SAY ANYTHING TO WIN
HER BACK -- WHO WOULDN'T?
THE WEDDING WILL PROCEED.
TAKE HIM AWAY.
YOU THINK ABOUT WHAT I SAID.
WHAT ARE YOU GOING
TO DO WITH HIM?
HE WAS WORRIED
ABOUT ME.
"JEALOUS" IS THE WORD
I'D USE.
ALL I WANT IS TO MARRY YOU
IN PEACE.
AFTER THE CEREMONY,
I'LL LET THE BEASTMASTER GO.
THIS IS AS FAR AS YOU GO,
BEASTMASTER.
NAGHA, WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS?
BECAUSE I AM SWORN TO PROTECT
THE ETERNAL REIGN OF OUR KING.
FOR HOW LONG?
UNTIL I DIE.
THEN THE DUTY WILL FALL
TO MY DAUGHTER.
THEN, TO
HER DAUGHTER.
HOW MANY WOMEN MUST DIE
SO ROLAN CAN LIVE?
IT HAS BEEN THIS WAY
FOR A THOUSAND YEARS.
YOU WILL NOT BE THE ONE
TO END THE CYCLE.
[ grunting ]
EEE-ARRR!
[ gasping ]
[ Sharak screeching ]
BLOODROOT, MOONBERRY.
I ASSUME THAT YOU FOUND
THE WILLOW BARK.
OKAY --
PAWS OFF.
THANK YOU.
TAKE ME TO IT.
ROLAN, THE BEASTMASTER GOT AWAY.
NOTHING CAN INTERFERE
WITH MY REBIRTH.
WE MUST START THE CEREMONY NOW,
OR ALL IS LOST.
BRING ZURAYA TO THE GARDEN.
NO MISTAKES THIS TIME.
DAR.
DO YOU HAVE EVERYTHING
FOR THE CURE?
WE DON'T HAVE MUCH TIME.
ROLAN KNOWS I'M TRYING
TO STOP THE WEDDING.
AND ZURAYA?
SHE WON'T LISTEN TO ME.
SHE WON'T BELIEVE ANYTHING BAD
ABOUT ROLAN.
SHE MUST BE UNDER
AN ENCHANTMENT.
IT'S CALLED LOVE.
WHAT ARE YOU
GOING TO DO?
STOP THE CEREMONY.
YOU MUST SAVE SLAYER.
I'M NOT READY YET.
ROLAN, WHAT'S
THE HURRY?
I COULDN'T WAIT A MINUTE LONGER.
I THOUGHT THE CEREMONY WAS
TO BE TONIGHT.
YES, BUT THE STARS ARE ALIGNED
MOST AUSPICIOUSLY RIGHT NOW.
BUT I WANTED TO LOOK PERFECT
FOR YOU.
YOU COULDN'T LOOK MORE LOVELY --
PLEASE, ZURAYA.
THIS IS IMPORTANT TO ME,
TO ALL OUR PEOPLE -- BEGIN.
WAIT.
THIS IS NO TIME TO BE AFRAID.
ROLAN, THIS DOESN'T FEEL RIGHT.
YOU'RE JUST NERVOUS.
NOW, MORE THAN EVER,
YOU MUST TRUST OUR LOVE.
YOU'RE HURTING ME.
WE CALL UPON THE GODS
TO CONTINUE
KING ROLAN'S UNENDING REIGN.
THROUGH THIS WOMAN,
AND HIS OFFSPRING'S BODY,
HE WILL FIND SHELTER
FOR HIS ANCIENT SOUL.
WHAT IS SHE TALKING ABOUT?
THIS CHILD MUST BE CONCEIVED
BEFORE THE MOON AND THE EVENING
STAR SHARE THE SKY.
CONTINUE.
HOW YOU DOIN', SLAYER?
HOW YOU DOIN'?
CAN'T DIE NOW, SLAYER.
DAR NEEDS YOU.
IF ONLY YOU KNEW
HOW HARD HE SEARCHED FOR YOU.
HE'S FOUND YOUR SISTER.
I BET YOU CAN'T WAIT TO SEE HER
AGAIN.
DAR NEEDS ALL OF YOU,
TO SAVE THE WORLD
FROM BALCIFER'S EVIL.
COME ON, SLAYER.
THERE'S A WHOLE WORLD
COUNTING ON YOU.
MOMENT OF TRUTH.
WELCOME BACK!
GOOD BOY, GOOD BOY.
WITH THE SPILLING
OF THIS VESSEL'S BLOOD,
LET KING ROLAN'S CYCLE
OF RENEWAL BEGIN.
AS IT HAS BEEN
FOR A THOUSAND YEARS,
SO IT WILL BE AGAIN.
[ moaning ]
ZURAYA, NO!
[ grunting ]
HUH!
[ grunting ]
UHH!
ARGHHH!
[ growling ]
[ growling ]
[ Rolan screaming ]
HE IS A MONSTER.
SLAYER KNEW IT ALL ALONG.
I SHOULD HAVE LISTENED
TO YOU BOTH.
YOU SAVED ME FROM A NIGHTMARE.
THANKS TO YOU AND SLAYER
MY CURSE HAS BEEN LIFTED.
Dar:
ZURAYA, THERE'S ONE MORE THING.
I'M GOING TO NEED YOU
TO LEAVE SLAYER HERE WITH ME.
Zuraya:
WHY --
HE'S NOT DANGEROUS ANYMORE.
HE HAD TO KILL ROLAN.
Dar:
THAT'S NOT IT.
YOU SEE...
SLAYER ISN'T REALLY A WOLF.
COME HERE, SIT DOWN.
COME HERE.
BEFORE HE DIED, MY FATHER TURNED
MY FAMILY INTO ANIMALS.
I THOUGHT YOUR
PEOPLE WERE KILLED.
IT TURNS OUT THAT MY REAL FATHER
WAS KING ELDAR.
YOU'RE THE TRUE KING?
I ONLY RECENTLY FOUND OUT.
WHY WOULD HE TURN YOUR FAMILY
INTO ANIMALS?
THEY'D BE SAFE FROM BALCIFER,
UNTIL I COULD FIND THEM
AND PROTECT THEM.
AND SLAYER IS ONE OF THEM.
HE'S MY BROTHER.
I ALWAYS KNEW THERE WAS
SOMETHING SPECIAL ABOUT HIM.
LIKE HE CAME TO ME
FOR SAFEKEEPING.
I'LL MISS YOU.
IF I HAVE TO LEAVE HIM WITH
ANYONE, I'M GLAD IT'S WITH YOU.
THANK YOU
FOR TAKING CARE OF HIM.
YOU'RE THE ONE WHO HAS
TRULY ENDED MY LONELINESS.
OHH.
LET EACH SUN FIND YOU SAFE.
WE'LL MEET AGAIN.
[ hooves thudding ]
[ sighing ]
THANK YOU FOR TAKING CARE
OF ZURAYA FOR ME.
I HAVE A HUNCH SHE'LL BE BACK.
YOU BELIEVE IN HUNCHES NOW.
I BELIEVE IN THIS ONE.
IN YOU GO.
OUR SISTER'S WAITING FOR YOU.
I'LL FIND THE REST
OF OUR FAMILY, SOON.
I PROMISE.
CLOSED CAPTIONS PRODUCED BY
ALLIANCE ATLANTIS BROADCASTING
FOR BRINGING US ZURAYA.
IN TWO DAYS,
SHE WILL JOIN WITH KING ROLAN
AND BECOME
THE VESSEL OF OUR REBIRTH.
[ growling ]
FAVOUR THEIR UNION
WITH AN HEIR
TO THE KINGDOM OF TIRA.
[ crowd chattering excitedly ]
FINDING YOU
HAS MADE MY LIFE COMPLETE.
LET US DRINK
TO THE END OF LONELINESS.
[ growling ]
PEOPLE OF TIRA,
REJOICE IN OUR FUTURE QUEEN.
Crowd:
YES, YES, WONDERFUL!
[ growling ]
SLAYER, NO!
[ growling ]
SLAYER, STOP IT!
I'M SORRY -- HE'S BEEN ACTING
SO STRANGE LATELY.
YOU DID TEACH HIM TO KILL.
ONLY TO PROTECT ME.
YOU'RE IN NO DANGER HERE.
I KNOW --
HE WON'T DO IT AGAIN.
LET'S PUT THIS
UNPLEASANT BUSINESS BEHIND US.
THIS IS, AFTER ALL,
A MOST JOYOUS OCCASION.
Rolan:
NAGHA IS RIGHT.
NOTHING MUST SPOIL THE
PREPARATIONS FOR OUR WEDDING.
WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU, SLAYER?
CAN'T YOU SEE
HOW MUCH I LOVE ROLAN?
WHY WON'T YOU GIVE HIM A CHANCE?
EH?
HE HAS LIFTED
MY CURSE OF LONELINESS.
I KNOW YOU WANT YOUR FREEDOM,
BUT WE'RE SAFE HERE --
THERE'S NOTHING TO BE AFRAID OF.
DO YOU WANT TO GO OUT?
[ thudding ]
HELLO?
IS ANYONE THERE?
[ rattling ]
YOU'LL HAVE TO WAIT
UNTIL TOMORROW.
I CAN BARELY KEEP MY EYES OPEN.
NO, NO-O-O-O!
[ screaming ]
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.
OHHH!
AH!
[ splashing ]
I FELT A SHARP PAIN
IN MY SHOULDER.
IT WAS LIKE I'D BEEN WOUNDED.
THIS HAPPENED
BEFORE,
WHEN YOUR SISTER LYCIA WAS HIT
WITH AN ARROW.
THINK WE'VE FOUND
ONE OF YOUR FAMILY?
I THINK SO.
THEN WE'LL HAVE TO FIND
WHOEVER IT IS.
DO YOU KNOW WHICH ANIMAL
TO LOOK FOR?
NO --
IT COULD BE ANYWHERE.
MAYBE THERE'S A CLUE IN HERE.
ACCORDING TO THE BOOK,
THERE ARE STILL FOUR ANIMALS:
THE BIRD, A HORSE, A WOLF
AND A GOAT.
[ rooster crowing ]
MMM.
OHH.
SLAYER?
SLAYER?
ROLAN!
YOU
SLEPT WELL?
I WAS SO TIRED.
MUST BE
THE EXCITEMENT.
LAST NIGHT THE DOOR WAS LOCKED.
FOR YOUR OWN
PROTECTION.
THE VILLAGE
HAS BECOME
DANGEROUS
AT NIGHT.
SLAYER'S MISSING --
HAVE YOU SEEN HIM?
NO, BUT,
THEN,
HE DOESN'T
ADORE ME.
IT'S NATURAL FOR A WILD BEAST
TO WANDER.
HE'S RUN OFF BEFORE.
HE'S ALWAYS BACK
BY DAWN.
IT BREAKS MY HEART TO SEE YOU
SO UNHAPPY OVER A PET.
SLAYER IS MY FAMILY.
HE STOOD BY ME ALL THOSE YEARS
I WAS CURSED TO BE ALONE.
YOU'RE NOT ALONE ANYMORE.
I KNOW,
BUT I COULDN'T STAND
TO LOSE HIM.
DON'T WORRY, I'LL DO EVERYTHING
IN MY POWER TO FIND YOUR WOLF.
THANKS.
SLAYER?
SLAYER!
[ neighing ]
DAR!
SOMEONE'S COMING, FAST.
THEY'RE GOING TO KILL
THEMSELVES.
NO, SHE WON'T.
DAR.
IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME.
TOO LONG.
I'VE THOUGHT ABOUT YOU.
ME, TOO.
YOU KNOW, I HAD A FEELING
I'D SEE YOU AGAIN.
IT'S GOOD TO BE HERE.
Tao:
ZURAYA!
WHAT BRINGS YOU TO ARAKANN?
SLAYER IS MISSING.
YOUR WOLF.
HE RAN OFF LAST NIGHT.
I'VE LOOKED EVERYWHERE --
I CAN'T FIND HIM.
MAYBE YOU COULD HELP ME.
YOU KNOW THAT DAR
CAN'T COMMUNICATE WITH SLAYER.
WHERE DID YOU
SEE HIM LAST?
IN TIRA.
TRAVELLERS TALK OF TIRA.
ITS HEALERS HAVE THE ABILITY
TO PROLONG LIFE.
WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN DOING THERE?
TOMORROW I MARRY THE KING.
WE HAVE TRIED.
WE'LL NEED MORE.
ROHAN, HERE YOU ARE.
DAR, I'M NOT SURE
IT'S A COINCIDENCE.
MAYBE YOU COULDN'T TALK
WITH SLAYER
BECAUSE HE'S ONE OF YOUR FAMILY.
Dar:
UNTIL I KNOW FOR SURE,
I WON'T SAY ANYTHING TO ZURAYA.
Tao:
I CAN'T BELIEVE
SHE'S GETTING MARRIED.
WHY NOT?
SHE DESERVES
TO BE HAPPY.
I KNOW.
I JUST THOUGHT
THE TWO OF YOU WERE...
READY?
LET'S GO.
SURE YOU DON'T WANT ME TO COME?
IT'LL BE FASTER
IF WE TRAVEL THIS WAY.
BE CAREFUL.
COME ON.
[ hooves thudding ]
TIRA'S NOT
MUCH FURTHER.
ZURAYA, STOP.
DO YOU EVER BRING SLAYER HERE
TO RUN?
SOMETIMES -- WHY?
HE WAS HERE.
HOW RECENTLY?
NOT LONG.
WHAT'S HAPPENED?
UP UNTIL HERE
HE WAS MOVING EASILY.
SUDDENLY, HE TOOK OFF.
WHAT IS IT?
BLOOD.
SLAYER'S?
WE HAVE TO
FIND HIM.
IT'S STILL WARM --
HE CAN'T BE FAR.
HUH?
UHH!
OHH!
ARGHHH!
[ whining ]
SLAYER!
I'M SORRY,
THIS IS GOING TO HURT.
THE WOUND ISN'T THAT BAD --
WHY ISN'T HE MOVING?
HE'S IN SHOCK.
WHO WERE THOSE MEN?
MY FUTURE HUSBAND'S
ROYAL HUNTERS.
THIS IS
THE IMPERIAL SIGN OF TIRA.
TAO MUST TREAT HIM.
TIRA'S CLOSER, AND WE HAVE
MANY SKILLED PHYSICIANS.
NO, ROLAN'S HUNTERS TRIED
TO KILL HIM.
ROLAN HAS A LOT TO ANSWER FOR,
BUT HE WOULD NOT REFUSE ME THIS.
I HOPE YOU'RE RIGHT.
Rolan:
ZURAYA!
I'VE BEEN SO WORRIED.
EVERYONE HAS BEEN LOOKING
FOR YOU.
LIKE THEM?
THEY TRIED TO KILL SLAYER
WITH ONE OF YOUR ARROWS.
IT'S TRUE.
I GAVE THE ORDER.
HOW COULD YOU?
PERHAPS WE SHOULD DISCUSS THIS
IN PRIVATE.
DAR IS A GOOD FRIEND.
YOU CAN SPEAK IN FRONT OF HIM.
THE BEASTMASTER.
I'VE HEARD OF YOUR EXPLOITS.
I'M SORRY TO MEET YOU UNDER
SUCH PAINFUL CIRCUMSTANCES.
WHY DID YOU DO IT?
I DIDN'T WANT TO TELL YOU THIS.
I WAS HOPING YOU'D ALWAYS
BELIEVE YOUR WOLF JUST RAN AWAY.
Zuraya:
DID YOU THINK I WOULD REST
UNTIL I FOUND HIM?
I KNOW HOW MUCH YOU CARE FOR
HIM, BUT SLAYER IS A KILLER.
Zuraya:
NO, HE'S JUST NOT USED TO YOU,
YET.
I'M NOT TALKING
ABOUT OUR INCIDENT YESTERDAY.
THAT WAS NOTHING --
GUARDS.
AFTER HE GOT AWAY FROM YOU
LAST NIGHT,
HE DID SOMETHING MUCH WORSE.
NO.
NOT SLAYER --
HE COULDN'T HAVE DONE THIS.
Rolan:
I KNOW YOU WISH IT WERE TRUE --
SO DO I --
BUT THAT'S HIS FUR IN HER HAND.
I WAS TEACHING HIM
TO LIVE AMONG PEOPLE.
Rolan:
AFTER AN ANIMAL
HAS TASTED HUMAN BLOOD
IT'S DIFFICULT TO CHANGE
ITS BEHAVIOUR.
DON'T YOU AGREE, BEASTMASTER?
SOMETIMES.
BUT EVERY ANIMAL
IS DIFFERENT.
Zuraya:
I DON'T BELIEVE IT.
IF DAR HADN'T REMOVED THE ARROW,
SLAYER WOULD BE DEAD.
UNFORTUNATELY, YOUR FRIEND HAS
ONLY PROLONGED HIS SUFFERING.
THE ARROW WAS POISONED.
WHY?
WHY WOULD YOU POISON--
YOUR WOLF IS A TRAINED KILLER.
I CAN STILL
TEACH HIM.
I CAN TAKE HIM AWAY WITH ME.
THEN HE WOULDN'T TROUBLE YOU.
IT'S TOO LATE.
WHAT KIND OF POISON WAS IT?
IS THERE AN ANTIDOTE?
IF THERE IS,
WE'VE NEVER FOUND IT.
SO IT'S FATAL.
ALMOST ALWAYS.
THERE IS A CHANCE
HE COULD BE SAVED.
THAT DEPENDS ON THE WOLF.
ONLY TIME WILL TELL --
TAKE HIM TO HIS PEN.
I'LL STAY WITH SLAYER.
ZURAYA'S FRIEND MUST NOT DISRUPT
THE WEDDING.
Rolan:
DON'T YOU THINK THAT I,
OF ALL PEOPLE, KNOW THAT?
STOP WORRYING.
HE'S CALLED THE BEASTMASTER --
HE TALKS TO THE ANIMALS.
Nagha:
DON'T LAUGH --
WHAT WILL THE WOLF TELL HIM?
Rolan:
I DON'T THINK THE WOLF HAS MUCH
TO SAY THESE DAYS.
HE'LL BE DEAD BEFORE HE WAKES.
Nagha:
WHY DO YOU TAKE SUCH CHANCES?
YOU SHOULD LOCK ZURAYA UP
AND BE DONE WITH IT.
Rolan:
YOU WORRY TOO MUCH.
ZURAYA IS AS EAGER
FOR THIS WEDDING AS I.
YOU'VE SEEN HOW MUCH
SHE LOVES ME.
Nagha:
LOVE IS A LUXURY
YOU CAN'T AFFORD.
YOUR TIME IS RUNNING OUT.
YOU'RE NOT GETTING ANY YOUNGER.
EVERYTHING WILL HAPPEN
AS IT SHOULD,
AS LONG AS YOU'VE PREPARED HER.
SHE MUST DRINK THE FINAL POTION
TONIGHT.
TOMORROW SHE WILL BE READY
FOR THE RENEWAL.
BUT AS THE
TIME APPROACHES,
MY DESIRE FOR HER INCREASES.
THE ANTICIPATION
IS OVERWHELMING.
THIS IS A GOOD SIGN.
I WILL DOUBLE THE GUARD
ON HER DOOR TONIGHT.
YES, WE MUST PROTECT HER.
ZURAYA WILL BE THE VESSEL
OF MY REBIRTH.
[ calling ]
SHARAK, FIND TAO
AND BRING HIM HERE.
I NEED HIS HELP
TO SAVE MY BROTHER.
Zuraya:
AT LEAST HE'S NOT WORSE.
THANKS FOR STAYING.
ARE YOU REALLY GOING
TO TAKE HIM BACK TO ARAKANN?
HE'LL BE SAFE THERE.
THAT'S HOW I FEEL HERE.
LIKE NOTHING CAN HURT ME.
WHEN ROLAN FOUND ME,
I FELT REALLY SAFE.
I THINK THAT'S WHAT HAPPENS
WHEN YOU FALL IN LOVE.
HOW DID YOU MEET?
IT WAS STRANGE.
MY HORSE FELL LAME ONE DAY.
I STOPPED TO TREAT HER.
ROLAN WAS JUST THERE.
BY HIMSELF?
WITH A HUNTING PARTY AND NAGHA.
ROLAN INVITED US BACK TO TIRA.
HIS HEALERS WERE WONDERFUL --
THE HORSE IMPROVED.
THEN WHAT HAPPENED?
THEN I REALIZED I WASN'T LONELY
ANYMORE.
YEAH, THAT'S A GOOD FEELING.
GOOD?
FOR THE FIRST TIME,
I FEEL LIKE I BELONG SOMEWHERE,
LIKE I HAVE
A HOME.
I'M GLAD
YOU FOUND YOUR HAPPINESS.
THANKS.
YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE
WHO CAN HELP SLAYER.
ZURAYA, DEAREST.
WHAT ARE YOU STILL DOING HERE?
NOTHING --
WE WERE JUST TALKING.
EXCUSE ME, BEASTMASTER,
BUT IT'S TIME FOR
ZURAYA'S RITUAL PURIFICATION.
ALREADY?
I'M SURE
OUR TIME-HONOURED RITUALS
MUST SEEM A LITTLE TEDIOUS
TO ONE AS FULL OF LIFE AS YOU,
BUT YOU ARE TO BE OUR QUEEN.
DON'T LET ME STOP YOU.
NAGHA WILL MEET YOU
AT THE BATHS.
IN OUR TRADITION,
FROM NOW UNTIL THE CEREMONY,
THE BRIDE CAN SEE NO ONE OUTSIDE
THE WEDDING PARTY,
BUT YOU NEED NOT GO LONELY.
MMM!
THAT'S NOT NECESSARY.
I INSIST.
THEY HAVE BEEN TOLD TO CATER
TO YOUR EVERY COMFORT.
MMM!
A DRINK?
THANK YOU,
BUT I'M NOT THIRSTY.
HAVE
SOME FRUIT.
I'M NOT HUNGRY, THANK YOU.
SOMETHING WRONG?
YOU LOCKED THE DOOR.
FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY,
I ASSURE YOU.
NO ONE SHOULD WANDER THE VILLAGE
AFTER DARK.
SO I'VE HEARD.
WHY?
AN ANCIENT EVIL SPIRIT
STALKS OUR VILLAGE BY NIGHT.
AND THERE'S NOTHING YOU CAN DO?
ROLAN'S VIGILANCE AND DEDICATION
PROTECT US.
FOR YOUR SAFETY,
HE HAS PLACED TWO GUARDS
OUTSIDE YOUR DOOR.
IS THERE, UM...
ANYTHING ELSE YOU NEED?
NO, YOU'VE BEEN
MORE THAN HOSPITABLE.
THANK YOU.
SEE IF THIS GOES ANYWHERE.
[ pleasure girls moaning ]
GOOD WORK --
THANK YOU.
[ guard sneezing ]
[ sniffling ]
[ grunting ]
REMEMBER WHAT THE KING SAID --
WATCH FOR THE GREY ANIMAL.
WHAT IS IT
ABOUT THIS GREY ANIMAL?
IT KILLED A WOMAN TODAY.
Zuraya:
WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?
Rolan:
NO REGRETS?
Zuraya:
OF COURSE NOT.
NOT EVEN YOUR BEASTMASTER?
Zuraya:
I TOLD YOU BEFORE,
HE'S JUST A FRIEND.
I LOVE YOU.
BEFORE I MET YOU,
THERE WAS NO ONE.
SINCE I'VE MET YOU,
THERE CAN BE NO ONE ELSE.
Rolan:
I HAVE WAITED A LONG TIME
FOR MY QUEEN TO ARRIVE.
ONLY A FEW MORE HOURS.
AFTER ALL THIS TIME ON MY OWN,
IT'S HARD TO BELIEVE.
DON'T WE DESERVE
HAPPINESS?
Nagha:
ZURAYA -- I'VE BEEN LOOKING
ALL OVER FOR YOU.
DON'T BE ANGRY AT HER --
IT'S MY FAULT.
YOU SHOULD KNOW BETTER, SIRE.
IT'S TIME FOR ZURAYA
TO DRINK HER TONIC.
DO I HAVE TO --
IT MAKES ME SO TIRED.
YOU'VE GOT A BIG DAY TOMORROW --
YOU WANT TO BE READY.
JUST ONE MORE NIGHT,
THEN NO MORE TONIC.
IT WILL ASSURE THE BIRTH
OF YOUR SON.
THAT'S GOOD.
GOOD NIGHT.
WHEN NEXT WE MEET,
YOU'LL BECOME MY QUEEN.
I UNDERSTAND
YOUR HUNGER.
DO YOU, NAGHA?
DO YOU KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE
TO FEEL THE LIFE BURNING IN HER,
WHILE YOU YOURSELF GROW OLD?
ZURAYA IS
OUR SALVATION.
IF I DIDN'T LOCK HER
AWAY FROM YOU,
YOU'D RUIN
EVERYTHING.
IS THIS HOW YOU SPEAK
TO YOUR ETERNAL KING?
YOU CANNOT
TOUCH HER,
UNTIL THE POTION
HAS TAKEN EFFECT.
IF YOU TAKE
HER BEFORE,
YOUR SPIRIT WILL
NOT INHABIT
THE CHILD
SHE CONCEIVES.
YOUR REBIRTH WILL
NOT HAPPEN.
IT'S ONLY
TWO MORE HOURS.
IF ONLY SHE DIDN'T HAVE TO DIE.
YOU'RE NOT GROWING ATTACHED
TO HER, ARE YOU?
SHE LOVES ME.
THERE IS NO OTHER WAY.
YOU CAN ONLY BE REBORN
THROUGH HER CHILD.
SHE CANNOT SURVIVE THE BIRTH.
THE NAGHA HAVE SERVED YOU
FOR A THOUSAND YEARS.
WE WILL SERVE YOU
FOR A THOUSAND MORE.
Guard:
YOU CHECKED THE FAR END?
Guard 2:
I SAW NOTHING.
[ squeaking ]
WHAT WAS THAT?
DID YOU
HEAR ANYTHING?
DRAW THEM AWAY --
BE CAREFUL.
I'LL BE BACK AS SOON AS I CAN.
DID THE KING SAY
THERE WAS TWO OF THEM?
YOU FOUND TAO?
TAKE ME TO HIM --
WE HAVEN'T MUCH TIME.
SHARAK FLEW TOWARDS THE SUN.
SO, IF I TAKE THIS AXIS,
TIRA SHOULD BE RIGHT...HERE!
IT'S NICE TO SEE YOU, TOO.
SO, HOW WAS YOUR JOURNEY?
SHARAK SAYS IT WAS EASY.
FOR AN EAGLE, MAYBE.
LAST TIME I LOOKED,
I DIDN'T HAVE WINGS.
THIS WILL BE VERY USEFUL
ONE DAY -- YOU'LL SEE.
THE MOMENT I SAW SHARAK,
I KNEW IT WAS SERIOUS.
SLAYER'S YOUR BROTHER?
HE'S BEEN POISONED.
WE MUST BE CLOSE TO TIRA --
CAN THE KING HELP?
HE'S THE PROBLEM -- HE'LL KILL
ZURAYA AND WANTS SLAYER DEAD.
I HAVE POTIONS FOR SPIDER BITE,
SNAKE VENOM, BLACK THISTLE.
I CAN'T GUARANTEE
THESE POTIONS WILL WORK.
Dar:
IF YOU CAN'T SAVE SLAYER,
MY QUEST IS OVER.
WE'RE WASTING TIME --
LET'S GO.
TAO, THIS WAY.
[ chuckling ]
[ chuckling ]
OH, SORRY.
BUT IF YOU COULD SEE
WHAT I WAS SEEING...
YOU'RE ON DUTY.
WHOA!
YOU LOOK LIKE RED-BLOODED MEN.
YOU SHOULD TAKE A LOOK AT THIS.
IT'LL CHANGE YOUR LIFE.
KEEP TURNING.
WHILE I TURN THE BOTTOM --
I'LL TURN IT HERE --
ANY SECOND NOW.
CAN I SEE?
[ thunking ]
I TOLD YOU, VERY USEFUL.
HOW LONG HAS HE BEEN LIKE THIS?
SINCE I
FOUND HIM.
DO YOU KNOW THE TYPE OF POISON?
BET HIS ROYAL PHYSICIANS KNOW.
THEY WANT HIM DEAD, SO THEY SAID
THERE'S NO ANTIDOTE.
IT'S UP TO US TO SAVE HIM.
EYES ARE GLAZED OVER,
TONGUE'S DRY.
HIS HEART'S BARELY BEATING.
CAN YOU
CURE HIM?
I'VE SEEN THESE SIGNS BEFORE --
I CAN NEUTRALIZE THE POISON.
I SAW MY TEACHER HEAL A MAN
WITH THE SAME SIGNS.
HE USED BLOODROOT,
MOONBERRY, WILLOW BARK.
THAT SHOULD WORK ON A WOLF.
TAKE KODO, PODO AND SHARAK.
FIND WHAT
YOU NEED.
WHAT
ABOUT YOU?
WEDDING'S TONIGHT -- I MUST STOP
ZURAYA BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE.
DON'T GIVE UP.
WE'LL BE BACK.
IDIOTS.
HOW COULD YOU LET HIM ESCAPE?
FIND HIM!
ZURAYA.
ZURAYA.
DAR!
YOU HAVE
TO WAKE UP.
OHH -- THE TONIC THEY GIVE ME
MAKES ME SLEEP.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?
I CAN'T SEE ANYONE
UNTIL THE WEDDING.
YOU CAN'T
MARRY ROLAN.
WHAT?
HE'S NOT WHO YOU THINK HE IS.
WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
I HEARD HIM TALKING TO NAGHA.
AFTER THE BABY'S BORN, HE...
...HE'S GOING TO KILL YOU.
WHY ARE YOU SAYING THIS?
BECAUSE IT'S TRUE.
NO!
HE LOVES ME --
I BELONG HERE.
NO, YOU DON'T --
HE'S A MONSTER.
SLAYER KNEW,
SO HE ATTACKED HIM.
NO, NO.
IF WE LEAVE NOW,
WE CAN GET SLAYER AND GO.
Rolan:
ZURAYA?
IS THE BEASTMASTER WITH YOU?
COME WITH ME.
[ pounding ]
PLEASE.
YES, HE'S HERE.
BEASTMASTER.
IS THIS THE WAY
YOU BETRAY OUR HOSPITALITY?
DID HE
HURT YOU?
NO.
DON'T GO THROUGH WITH THIS.
DAR, YOU'RE ONLY
MAKING IT WORSE.
HE DOESN'T UNDERSTAND
OUR ANCIENT WAYS.
WHAT DO YOU KNOW
ABOUT HIS ANCIENT WAYS?
WHAT HAVE YOU TOLD HER?
WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
BEASTMASTER,
ADMIT IT'S TOO LATE.
ZURAYA AND I ARE PLEDGED
TO EACH OTHER.
YOU'D SAY ANYTHING TO WIN
HER BACK -- WHO WOULDN'T?
THE WEDDING WILL PROCEED.
TAKE HIM AWAY.
YOU THINK ABOUT WHAT I SAID.
WHAT ARE YOU GOING
TO DO WITH HIM?
HE WAS WORRIED
ABOUT ME.
"JEALOUS" IS THE WORD
I'D USE.
ALL I WANT IS TO MARRY YOU
IN PEACE.
AFTER THE CEREMONY,
I'LL LET THE BEASTMASTER GO.
THIS IS AS FAR AS YOU GO,
BEASTMASTER.
NAGHA, WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS?
BECAUSE I AM SWORN TO PROTECT
THE ETERNAL REIGN OF OUR KING.
FOR HOW LONG?
UNTIL I DIE.
THEN THE DUTY WILL FALL
TO MY DAUGHTER.
THEN, TO
HER DAUGHTER.
HOW MANY WOMEN MUST DIE
SO ROLAN CAN LIVE?
IT HAS BEEN THIS WAY
FOR A THOUSAND YEARS.
YOU WILL NOT BE THE ONE
TO END THE CYCLE.
[ grunting ]
EEE-ARRR!
[ gasping ]
[ Sharak screeching ]
BLOODROOT, MOONBERRY.
I ASSUME THAT YOU FOUND
THE WILLOW BARK.
OKAY --
PAWS OFF.
THANK YOU.
TAKE ME TO IT.
ROLAN, THE BEASTMASTER GOT AWAY.
NOTHING CAN INTERFERE
WITH MY REBIRTH.
WE MUST START THE CEREMONY NOW,
OR ALL IS LOST.
BRING ZURAYA TO THE GARDEN.
NO MISTAKES THIS TIME.
DAR.
DO YOU HAVE EVERYTHING
FOR THE CURE?
WE DON'T HAVE MUCH TIME.
ROLAN KNOWS I'M TRYING
TO STOP THE WEDDING.
AND ZURAYA?
SHE WON'T LISTEN TO ME.
SHE WON'T BELIEVE ANYTHING BAD
ABOUT ROLAN.
SHE MUST BE UNDER
AN ENCHANTMENT.
IT'S CALLED LOVE.
WHAT ARE YOU
GOING TO DO?
STOP THE CEREMONY.
YOU MUST SAVE SLAYER.
I'M NOT READY YET.
ROLAN, WHAT'S
THE HURRY?
I COULDN'T WAIT A MINUTE LONGER.
I THOUGHT THE CEREMONY WAS
TO BE TONIGHT.
YES, BUT THE STARS ARE ALIGNED
MOST AUSPICIOUSLY RIGHT NOW.
BUT I WANTED TO LOOK PERFECT
FOR YOU.
YOU COULDN'T LOOK MORE LOVELY --
PLEASE, ZURAYA.
THIS IS IMPORTANT TO ME,
TO ALL OUR PEOPLE -- BEGIN.
WAIT.
THIS IS NO TIME TO BE AFRAID.
ROLAN, THIS DOESN'T FEEL RIGHT.
YOU'RE JUST NERVOUS.
NOW, MORE THAN EVER,
YOU MUST TRUST OUR LOVE.
YOU'RE HURTING ME.
WE CALL UPON THE GODS
TO CONTINUE
KING ROLAN'S UNENDING REIGN.
THROUGH THIS WOMAN,
AND HIS OFFSPRING'S BODY,
HE WILL FIND SHELTER
FOR HIS ANCIENT SOUL.
WHAT IS SHE TALKING ABOUT?
THIS CHILD MUST BE CONCEIVED
BEFORE THE MOON AND THE EVENING
STAR SHARE THE SKY.
CONTINUE.
HOW YOU DOIN', SLAYER?
HOW YOU DOIN'?
CAN'T DIE NOW, SLAYER.
DAR NEEDS YOU.
IF ONLY YOU KNEW
HOW HARD HE SEARCHED FOR YOU.
HE'S FOUND YOUR SISTER.
I BET YOU CAN'T WAIT TO SEE HER
AGAIN.
DAR NEEDS ALL OF YOU,
TO SAVE THE WORLD
FROM BALCIFER'S EVIL.
COME ON, SLAYER.
THERE'S A WHOLE WORLD
COUNTING ON YOU.
MOMENT OF TRUTH.
WELCOME BACK!
GOOD BOY, GOOD BOY.
WITH THE SPILLING
OF THIS VESSEL'S BLOOD,
LET KING ROLAN'S CYCLE
OF RENEWAL BEGIN.
AS IT HAS BEEN
FOR A THOUSAND YEARS,
SO IT WILL BE AGAIN.
[ moaning ]
ZURAYA, NO!
[ grunting ]
HUH!
[ grunting ]
UHH!
ARGHHH!
[ growling ]
[ growling ]
[ Rolan screaming ]
HE IS A MONSTER.
SLAYER KNEW IT ALL ALONG.
I SHOULD HAVE LISTENED
TO YOU BOTH.
YOU SAVED ME FROM A NIGHTMARE.
THANKS TO YOU AND SLAYER
MY CURSE HAS BEEN LIFTED.
Dar:
ZURAYA, THERE'S ONE MORE THING.
I'M GOING TO NEED YOU
TO LEAVE SLAYER HERE WITH ME.
Zuraya:
WHY --
HE'S NOT DANGEROUS ANYMORE.
HE HAD TO KILL ROLAN.
Dar:
THAT'S NOT IT.
YOU SEE...
SLAYER ISN'T REALLY A WOLF.
COME HERE, SIT DOWN.
COME HERE.
BEFORE HE DIED, MY FATHER TURNED
MY FAMILY INTO ANIMALS.
I THOUGHT YOUR
PEOPLE WERE KILLED.
IT TURNS OUT THAT MY REAL FATHER
WAS KING ELDAR.
YOU'RE THE TRUE KING?
I ONLY RECENTLY FOUND OUT.
WHY WOULD HE TURN YOUR FAMILY
INTO ANIMALS?
THEY'D BE SAFE FROM BALCIFER,
UNTIL I COULD FIND THEM
AND PROTECT THEM.
AND SLAYER IS ONE OF THEM.
HE'S MY BROTHER.
I ALWAYS KNEW THERE WAS
SOMETHING SPECIAL ABOUT HIM.
LIKE HE CAME TO ME
FOR SAFEKEEPING.
I'LL MISS YOU.
IF I HAVE TO LEAVE HIM WITH
ANYONE, I'M GLAD IT'S WITH YOU.
THANK YOU
FOR TAKING CARE OF HIM.
YOU'RE THE ONE WHO HAS
TRULY ENDED MY LONELINESS.
OHH.
LET EACH SUN FIND YOU SAFE.
WE'LL MEET AGAIN.
[ hooves thudding ]
[ sighing ]
THANK YOU FOR TAKING CARE
OF ZURAYA FOR ME.
I HAVE A HUNCH SHE'LL BE BACK.
YOU BELIEVE IN HUNCHES NOW.
I BELIEVE IN THIS ONE.
IN YOU GO.
OUR SISTER'S WAITING FOR YOU.
I'LL FIND THE REST
OF OUR FAMILY, SOON.
I PROMISE.
