The Beastmaster (1982) Edit

A freak who speaks to animals.

Ahead.

All right. I'm coming.

Along with the fiendish witchwomen.

And Aruk will be mine again.

And if anything should happen to me,

And it is you who should be king.

And Kodo.

And leeches.

And now I have strength.

And podo.

And someday you will find out why.

And someday... You'll find out why.

And you may search for your destiny in the valley of Aruk.

And you will all perish by his hand!

Ar demands the life of an unborn.

Ar is not yet satisfied.

Ar wants this stranger.

Ar! Ar! Ar!

Are more than enough to crush Maax.

Around here.

As a gift from your devoted servant.

As long as Zed lives, he remains a symbol of our strength.

Be quiet.

Beastmaster, follow me home. We need your help. The attempt failed.

Beastmaster.

Besides, he already has the strongest right hand...

Branded with the sign of ar, and sacrificed.

Branded with the sign of Ar, and sacrificed.

But he's well.

But if we show no fear,

But they won't escape me this time.

But till then, this mark... will be your guide.

But, father...

But, sir, all pilgrims share a deep love of life.

But... We will end our humiliation.

Can make Ar look upon you as his children again.

Come back here!

Come on! You two got me into this, now get me out.

Come on.

Come on.

Come on.

Come.

Come. Inside. At least let me offer you a meal.

Come. We have much planning to do.

Couldn't you just fly back and tell him you couldn't find me?

Cover the moat!

Dar?

Dar.

Dar.

Death guards. This way.

Does he have any chance of finding rebels to help us?

Don't move.

Don't worry about them. They'll catch up. Come.

Down, now!

Down!

Especially their own.

Even that's impossible now.

Even though I cannot see,

Extreme torture transforms the man into a wild beast.

Face the animal on his own terms,

Fanatic. Take him away.

Faster!

Faster! Cover the moat!

Father! Father, run!

Father.

Fight to the top!

Five women in white,

For the blood of our children.

For the new king.

For three years since we fled Aruk,

Forget it.

Go crawl down a hole with your animals.

Go practice your heathen religion in The Outlands with the barbarian Juns.

God Ar.

Good bye, dar. Be careful.

Good.

Has returned to fulfill the prophecy.

He and his monsters must die.

He has already saved your life.

He is a friend. He is the beastmaster.

He left this for you.

He will not stop me from freeing my father.

He won't have the use of his left hand for a while,

He's gone.

He's ordered you out.

Here we go.

His son disappeared.

Hold back from Ar what is his,

Holy ar.

Holy Ar.

Hook the horses up!

How about a little help?

How is he?

How is it that you've come to travel with these animals?

Hurry, men! Hurry!

I am a slave! What would you have me do?

I am called Seth. This is Tal.

I am Kiri. Slave to the priests of the temple of Ar.

I am sacco. I will be forever in your debt.

I can't leave without my little ones.

I could have you put to death.

I defy this false prophecy.

I have a feeling he might.

I have been told you are planning a child sacrifice.

I have just come from Aruk.

I have my eyes.

I have something for you.

I met a slave girl near a temple.

I must find her.

I must know.

I need no coward by my side!

I reject your pity.

I said a slave girl.

I see through their eyes. They see through mine.

I shall wait for you on the north side.

I think he's gonna help us.

I will not allow the sacrifice of an innocent.

I, too, am on my way to worship at the temple of Ar.

I, your high priest, demand your children...

I'd always been told that my ability with animals was uncommon.

I'll accept this as payment.

I'm Dar. I'm no threat to you.

I'm indebted to you.

I'm sure we'll see each other again.

I'm the last.

I'm very busy.

I've never see a... pilgrim...

I've seen what they can do.

I've sworn revenge... and I'm following.

If I don't, my family will be put to death.

If they're out there, he'll find them.

If we're lucky, the Juns will fail this test.

If you like that ring, keep it.

If you succeed in killing Maax and the priests,

In Aruk, no one will remember your name.

In my village of Emir,

Is he yours?

It almost worked.

It is my duty.

It is now time for him to free his father... the king.

It must be cut from its mother.

It must be cut from its mother.

It was you who was firstborn.

It'll be all right.

It'll kill anything it meets.

It's fixed.

It's Kiri.

It's me.

It's open.

It's your decision now.

Jealous Ar.

Juns!

Juns.

Juns.

Juns.

Keep hidden.

Keeper of Aruk,

Kill him!

King Zed's wife.

Kiri.

Kodo!

Let's get out of here.

Life is a circle.

Lighten the load!

Look for our enemies, the Juns.

Lord Zed, we must run. Maax knows our plan.

Maax has total power.

Maax shall die.

Maax will pay for what he has done.

Maax, high priest of the city of Aruk.

Make way!

Many years ago, Maax killed my queen and took my unborn son.

Master? Master?

My cousin... Kiri.

My friends, the journey to Aruk is a treacherous one.

My friends.

My leg!

My little light is alive! Alive!

My loyal warrior, we will attack the city before dawn.

My son?

My sword and my kapa will be your trusted companions.

My village, Emir, was destroyed by the Jun horde.

Never.

No one will challenge him.

No, he is a freak.

No, we must flee!

No!

No!

No!

No!

No! No, this comes from no slave girl.

Not her! No! Stop!

Nothing's too good for Kodo and Podo.

Now he breeds us...

Now he will pay.

Now they will drain his blood and damage his brain...

Now, you run ahead.

Now... who are you?

Obey my command, and Ar will continue to protect you!

Oh, no, not you.

Oh, no! The gate's closed.

Only the blood of this child...

Only the blood of this child...

Please, you must come with us.

Please, you must listen to him.

Protect Emir, your home.

Pull for your freedom!

Pull!

Pull!

Pull! Pull!

Put to death.

Put your hearts into it!

Quiet. We're about to enter the city.

Raise the gate!

Rings, trinkets, stones.

Ruh?

Ruh?

Ruh.

Ruh. Your name is Ruh.

Run!

Run! Run!

Sacco, where are we?

Send your cousin over to ask me.

Seth, look.

Seth, look.

Seth, you will take 15 warriors and attack the main gate.

Seth.

She was captured, as was Zed and Seth and the boy.

She's a trov warrior, an ancient sect.

Show me.

So they both still live.

Stand fast!

Start for the gate. They'll get it open.

Taking back your city is not the answer.

Tal is man enough to take his rightful place with his father.

Tell the village, poor Tiis. Go.

Thank you for the meal, my friend.

Thanks to the Juns,

That any leader of men could want.

That's him, Zed's son. Kill him! Kill him now.

That's him! See the brand?

That's how a death guard is made.

The beast is fierce.

The God Ar has spoken.

The gods have put their mark on you.

The Jun horde slaughtered most of the young men in Aruk.

The Juns put their demon high priest, Maax, in power,

The Juns.

The one of whom prophecy spoke.

The prophecy dooms you.

The rescue will take some time. I...

The slave girls.

The tar was a rite of manhood and a test of strength.

The truth cannot be changed.

The truth is hungry!

The truth is known to us.

The unborn child is yours!

Then I shall be leaving.

Then so shall I.

There are no more Emirites.

There was a girl on the pyramid. She's a friend.

They are my friends.

They have no fear whatsoever.

They so richly deserve.

They steal just about anything they can get their hands on, as you can see...

They whip you like... A beast.

They'll be sacrificed come dawn.

They're to be sacrificed at sunset.

They're to be sacrificed.

They've been taken back to the temple...

They've left the temple.

Thirsty Ar.

Thirty five warriors, strong and good,

This beast is fierce.

This is Podo...

This is the one.

This pyramid used to be their home.

This ring will lead you to him.

This way.

Tie them.

Tiis is dead.

Tiis!

Till then, this mark will be your guide.

Till then...

To fight the Juns.

To prepare them for their deaths.

To rescue her before she's...

To the north. But Maax promises they shall return.

To touch a beast up here...

To where?

Todo! Todo!

Uncle Zed.

Wait! The bridge is the only way out.

Wait. Protect them.

Watch. The Jun priests will encase his body in deadly armor.

We are doomed.

We are surrounded by that damnable tar sludge.

We are... pilgrims on our way to worship at the temple of Ar.

We depend on each other.

We have to get out of here now.

We leave at dawn.

We might escape.

We must fight!

We shall conquer him,

We shall welcome them.

We will attack.

We will fight.

We will storm the north wall.

We will take Aruk, and give them the death...

We'll help him.

We're not gonna make it.

Well!

Well... our new king has risen from the dead.

What about the girl?

What can I do to convince you to help us?

What do you think? Should we go after her?

What happened here today must never be known.

Where'd she go?

Which way did the Jun horde go?

While you have their attention and are at the gate,

Who are you, friend? And where do you come from?

Who are you?

Who are you?

Who is this girl?

Who is this man?

Why me? I'm a coward.

Will make Ar look upon you with compassion again.

Will you dare this fate?

Will you help us to free my father?

With him to lead us, we'll crush Maax!

With mysterious green liquid...

With them, you can die like a man. Not so with the priests of Ar.

Yes, we are outnumbered, but our blood is boiling for revenge.

Yes.

You are banished for life.

You are doomed. The unborn has arrived.

You blinded my father! I'll kill you!

You don't understand. I must go back.

You have powers unlike anyone in the village.

You must save them.

You need an army.

You old fool!

You owe me your life. But...

You see? Ar has spoken. He wants your children.

You trained Tal well, and he will make a fine king.

You two are going to open that gate for us.

You will come with us?

You will die at the hands of Zed's unborn son.

You will die.

You will find you are not so very strong.

You will only bring down the wrath of the Jun horde.

You would do well to forget me, and follow the Juns.

You? Alone?

You'll get a name too. Podo.

You'll see me again.

You're going to have a hard time getting rid of me.

You're right.

You've just gotta show them who's in command.

Your kapa.

Your king Zed...

Your unborn child is ours now!

Zed, join your lost son.

Zed, our King, is imprisoned in the pyramid.

Zed, your unborn son...

Zed's unborn son will die!

Daddy! Snatched from death by...

Does the gate have a counterweight? Yes.

He will die tonight! Rise for King Zed!

He's there. We need those keys.

King Zed... Seth...

Maax lives. What happened to Kiri?

No! No, not her!

Son. Can you walk?

Tal will go with me and be my eyes. But Tal...

This is our only way out of the city. Go. I'll cover your escape.

Trail? Kiri will find my father.

We must save her. But we're outnumbered.

Why is she dressed like that? What about Kodo and Podo?

Will you go with me now? I cannot leave.
