where is he?
mah-gah.
mah-gah!
find him!
a king's treasure for the man
who delivers prince mah-gah's body to me.
more if you bring him alive
so I can wrench out his heart with my own hands.
[ cheering ]
turn and submit woman or die where you stand.
what are you?
silence won't save your life.
we'll let king zad decide.
come with us.
water!
your prince, where is he?
has he fled?
to the great waters?
I'll give you whatever pleasures your heart desires.
tell me. Tell me.
king zad!
we found her inside.
she refuses to answer.
but no prince?
but this...
is even more...
delicious.
you're beautiful.
[ chuckling ]
intriguing creature.
I know you don't know what I'm saying...
but I know who you are and what you are.
you belong to me now.
Soon I'll possess your secrets.
if not more.
[ laughing ]
in an age when nature and magic rule 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's also called...
stop! Stop, you furbags.
come back here!
you're nothing but trouble.
how would you like it if I stole your furs?
four-legged, ferret fools.
one day I'll make hats out of them.
I got it.
got what?
I got it this time.
the illusion, I've got it.
where is it?
see, although you've cleverly tried to deceive me,
I know exactly where it is.
it's one thing to create an illusion
but it's something totally different to cheat a cheater
or fool a fool.
it's right there.
how'd you do it?
same way you did.
you're all wet. Why is that? Kodo and podo?
let's just say they were the cause
and this was the effect.
are you going to the forest?
oh, good. I need to get myself some flint.
I'm going to make myself a big fire
and cook us a couple of mice.
I've never seen anything like her.
she's beautiful.
yes, but dangerous...
like most women,
or whatever it is.
you say that prince mag-gah
that's what one of his dying minions said. Through sorcery.
part of his grand plan to rule the world.
I thought that was your plan.
you think me that bold?
yes.
then I'd better find him.
Because, as you can see, mah-gah has discovered a way for humans
to become part creature.
they have the ability to breathe in both air and water.
it's interesting,
but why?
he's building a new world
under the sea.
there are those who believe
it would make sense for them to seek the ability to return.
think of the power:
to conquer the land
and retreat to the sea.
an impregnable defence.
brilliant! and I want it.
you want everything.
why not?
it's all there for the taking.
and what do you want from me?
two small favours: a prison and the beastmaster.
a strange request.
I want you to confine her there
so she can't possibly escape.
simple enough.
done.
this woman used to be mah-gah's favourite concubine.
when his sorcerers turned her into this creature,
they took away her ability to talk.
hmm. A good way to keep secrets.
now she communicates
so you want the beastmaster to communicate with her
to learn the secrets of prince mah-gah and his new world.
so that I can rule the world.
the beastmaster would rather die first.
there are ways to get a man to do what you want.
If he would choose to die first then I propose to offer him
something he covets even more than his own life.
I found it.
You know, I've always marvelled at the properties of flint,
having saved the human race from extinction.
you really think flint did that?
yeah. By allowing man to make fire.
you see, fire provides warmth and illumination
and it's also a means of cooking.
but in ancient times, it was even more important.
you see, it was used to ward off beasts at night,
a man-eating beast -- in particular, there was
this tiger, had teeth that were bigger than ruh's.
this tiger had teeth the size of your face.
must have been terrifying.
I'd like to see that.
there's drawings in this cave
near the top of the cliff--
shh!
listen.
dar...
what am I listening for?
that voice, you hear it?
no, what voice?
that's kyra.
Dar, I don't hear kyra's voice.
I don't hear anything. Maybe it's a trick, another illusion.
no, no, it's real. I felt it.
she's here.
playing?
I love illusions.
yes, they're manipulative,
harrowing, dreamy, convenient.
and when they work, a wonderful respite from reality.
they make me feel good.
they're also ephemera, smoke,
pixie dust -- reality always comes back.
as it will, in a moment,
for your beastmaster.
and we must all face that reality.
why do you say "we"?
You don't have to face reality.
different kinds: the reality of opportunity lost,
hideous transgressions, promises broken,
and oaths of vengeance kept.
dar, if you persist in this,
chasing after phantoms and running after voices
in the forest, it'll only lead to madness.
this is crazy.
beastmaster.
beastmaster!
drop your weapon
or this one bleeds.
dar, drop it.
please.
beastmaster...
finally we meet.
welcome.
you have a strange way of welcoming people.
I have many strange ways.
perhaps none as strange as yours.
I'm fascinated by your gift of communicating with animals.
you really are one of a kind.
a legend,
just like me.
I suppose you must find me fascinating,
in some manner.
no.
under the circumstances,
I find your audacity
charming.
I don't care what you find.
and unwise.
nonetheless, it was expected,
from a feral.
I'm sorry if I disappoint you.
I doubt you will.
you must wonder how someone like me
is the most powerful man in this world.
I don't wonder about you at all.
of course, you don't.
you wander around the forest
chatting with monkeys,
cooing with crocodiles,
and sleeping with tigers.
you know nothing of the real world, beastmaster.
I know enough about your world.
and what, pray tell, is that?
you steal,
you pillage,
you destroy,
and you kill.
did you hear that?
The savage gives me compliments.
kingdoms,
civilization, intellect, power.
that's the real world, beastmaster.
the real world, in the real world,
real men don't find happiness
in other people's misery.
oh, how profoundly philisophical of you.
I want to show you part of my world.
and the reason I rule it.
oh, ha, ha...
we don't get enough entertainment here.
oh, the occassional slave
slaughtered by my tigers.
that's fun.
but I like to hold my amusements.
fondle them, taste them, crush them.
like your kyra. I find her amusing.
she provides intense moments of exquisite pleasure.
stand him up.
leave him.
[ laughing ]
I knew...
I knew you wouldn't disappoint me.
now we know each other
much better.
one more thing,
and then we'll get to the reason why you're here.
come on, come on.
kyra?
kyra!
no, no!
kyra!
no! Kyra!
kyra! No!
you?
perhaps. We may have met sometime during my travels.
oh, no.
you're a slave.
I remember you.
you're an arron.
I thought you were dead.
well, it would appear that I am not.
but it will.
you saw her?
did it bring back memories?
what have you done to kyra?
oh, everything.
don't listen to him. it's just a trick.
now, let's get to the point.
you and your slave here
are going to help me.
if you're successful,
the girl is yours.
why should I believe you?
because you have no choice.
and because I'm a man of my word.
don't listen to him, dar. he's a liar.
do you know prince mah-gah?
never heard of him.
that's all anyone has done
because no one has ever seen him.
he wants to destroy me.
he's building a fortress
under the sea.
I've captured a creature who knows
all his secrets and where he is.
I want them and I want him.
why do you need me?
because this creature
speaks like an animal.
so you see, beastmaster,
your savagery, in this moment, is welcome.
and if I refuse?
kyra dies.
and your slave here, too.
you'll do as I say.
when you have the answers that I want,
send your eagle to the sorceress.
and that signal
I'll return and kyra will be free.
you have until the moon rises.
first, you'll free my friend.
he's got nothing to do with this.
oh.
but he does.
I've heard a rumour
that the creature is vicious
and violent.
I may need a sacrifice to pacify her emotions.
and what better than this clumsy maggot,
a slave whose life is of no importance.
I feel compliments are in order.
what for?
Oh, the little vanishing routine
and, of course, the voice in the forest -- a lovely touch.
you enjoyed them?
but, more importantly, how do you feel about it all?
I thought I wasn't supposed to feel.
no, I-- not in the human way.
I mean, in the higher sense.
well, I guess I feel
like I'm playing games.
you are.
But look at the larger picture.
the whole world is a game.
and at our level, we just play it better.
you gave me my memories
and they make me think.
I warned you it was a punishment.
but I realize there are so many things I don't know.
-and you want to know? -yes.
in time.
you always say that.
but it's true.
there are entire worlds you know nothing about.
horizons way beyond this one.
I want to see them.
and you will -- but just understand
they're not all friendly,
even to those blessed with magic like you and i.
you once told me about a presence,
a figure in the burning forest.
the apparition.
is that one of the horizons?
yes, it is.
and you mention that, for one
of you, it would not turn out well.
a devil's deal.
a mistake I should never have made.
I thought you didn't make mistakes.
one a day. More if I'm not paying attention.
having a conscience is a mistake.
although I didn't know it when I let it happen.
the apparition is a mistake that has haunted me for years.
tell me about it.
on my part, it was weakness.
something else I've never seen in you.
and you'll never see again.
is the apparition a sorcerer?
well, that would make it easy.
a god?
well, then how can the apparition be a worry to you?
the apparition is not your problem.
you have other problems -- and if you want
the beastmaster to survive, this creature here
is one of them.
do you think she'll harm him?
but I'll tell you this: she is not what she seems.
and she is certainly not what king zad thinks she is.
[ grunting ]
until the moon rises.
you know, tao,
I have to admit something.
what?
I wanted it be kyra.
everything in me told me it couldn't be, but...
my heart kept telling me there was still a chance.
that's because you wanted to
believe it.
yeah.
if it weren't for kodo and podo, I'd never
have known she was an illusion -- sorry I went along
with zad's wishes.
you understand?
and otherwise, he would have killed me.
probably will anyway.
-dar, I have a question. -what?
Would possibly ever want to hold someone in a prison like this?
I mean, it's wide open.
I'm not so sure it is.
there's something wrong.
the colours are all weird, but...
anyway, freedom's right here.
[ chuckling ]
no, that can't be.
it's a prison.
it's unlike any I've seen before.
it's a different kind.
sorcery.
that's one explanation I don't like.
invisible walls, weird colours. What next?
dar.
dar?
probably shouldn't be doing this.
[ groaning ]
ohhh!
sorceress?
are you there?
I am.
the trick worked.
and the beastmaster is none the wiser.
how easy it is to deceive someone who craves,
even begs, to allow the deception.
it's at the heart of magic.
to fool the natural way of things.
you deal with the unnatural and the supernatural.
and yet you maintain a very natural way about yourself.
are you sure?
maybe it's just another illusion.
I learned a long time ago never to succumb
to tricks or illusions.
I'd be dead by now if I had.
I have a question for you, sorceress.
before this time,
this camp, this chamber, this life even,
did you have a name?
were you called something?
I...
I think so.
but you're not sure.
I'm very sure.
but you won't say it.
what does it matter?
only that I've been thinking about you.
and thinking it would be pleasant to be able
to call you by some other name than sorceress.
you can call me whatever you like.
I'm sure I can.
but a name means something more...
lately, I've enjoyed our relationship.
you've changed.
I'd like to think it was because of me.
my strength together with your powers,
we could have it all.
surely you've thought of that.
it's an interesting thought.
but what does it have to do with a name?
I'm not sure.
but I'll think on it.
and I'll think about a name as well.
[ gasping ]
my friend and I just need some information.
we can help you.
perhaps we can even help each other.
don't be afraid. I'm not a terron.
can you understand me?
can you hear what I'm saying to you?
king zad has a sorceress.
if you are a beastmaster like you claim,
and not a trick of sorcery sent to gain my secrets,
then bring me proof.
Or you and your friend will die.
[ groaning ]
tao, are you all right?
I think so.
unfortunately, I found the creature.
she had this strange hand.
I know, it was webbed.
She covered my face. I couldn't breathe. I thought I would die.
yeah, but she didn't kill us.
you saw her too?
I tried to communicate.
-and? -she wouldn't answer me.
wonderful. All this, and she won't talk to us anyway.
oh, but she did. and she used words.
I don't think she is what she seems.
that she'd kill us if I can't convince her I'm a beastmaster.
I don't blame her either.
we should find a way out of here.
we could if we had wings.
why do you say that?
I saw a dove, a white one,
and it left here like it wasn't imprisoned at all.
I saw one fly in.
must have been the same one.
dar, if this prison's made from sorcery, perhaps then it's
a prison that only holds humans.
maybe animals can come and go as they please.
when sorcery's involved, anything is possible.
hopefully prove something to this creature
that wants to kill us.
long time.
and I wish it could have been longer.
I suppose you do as well.
it's your desire to taunt me into the fringes of the future.
I warn you, the past is past, but...
if you wish to make this a prologue, understand one thing.
I gave you life.
if you force me to throw it away, I will show you
less mercy than I'd show my worst enemy.
so daughter of darkness,
have you nothing to say?
he's a friend. he won't hurt you.
that's my proof.
and my word.
-sorry for not trusting you. -it doesn't matter.
you didn't know if we were friends.
So you use words to communicate.
and in other ways.
is it different speaking without words?
words make things clear, but only if they are true.
is prince mah-gah still alive?
in the imagination of king zad, yes.
which means? there is no prince.
I invented the idea, a false target for my enemies.
so king zad is looking for a prince that doesn't exist,
while in the meantime--
I do.
he's chasing an illusion. very good.
he really should seek a queen.
the city under the surface of the water, is that false too?
-then why are you here? -we are still building.
I came with some of my tribe to find materials.
and the city will not be a fortress like king zad thinks.
what will it be?
a haven, a safe refuge,
where all tribes can live in harmony.
very idealistic.
I mean, if man could colonize the ocean, there's no end
we could find new foods and new medicines
we may even be able to strike up relationships
between fish and other sea creatures.
Whales and dolphins communicate, we know that.
I would love for someone
like you to come there.
it's just that I wouldn't like a sorcerer
to turn me into a fish.
sorcery didn't turn me into what I am.
several life forms came out of the sea onto the land.
some of them evolved and learned how to go back.
my people were among those.
we developed the ability to breathe
both on land and under the water.
are there more of you?
what happened to the others that came out with you?
the ones who escaped went into the mountains.
they'll make their way back to the sea through the downs.
-why did you stay? -bY allowing them to capture me,
I gave my people more time to escape
that's a very powerful, noble act.
you just didn't count on the prison.
-yes. -your friends must be worried.
-they know I survived.
my dove was the signal.
and we...
Well, dar, has to send an eagle.
it's to bring king zad.
But we can't tell him the truth.
excellent.
-he'll know if we're lying. -he won't. He will.
no, he won't. King zad tricked you with a lie.
and it worked because you let it.
The person who is being seduced by the illusion,
already thinks he knows what he wants to see.
for instance, take king zad.
he's chasing an illusion of prince mah-gah,
when in fact he's seeking the queen atlantia.
simple.
so, what are we going to tell him?
ha, ha, we tell him, we know where to find
what he already believes that he wants
with a somewhat small variance to the actual truth.
I like it.
[ cawing ]
the beastmaster's eagle.
soon I'll have what I want.
when I arrive there, release the spell.
I shall.
[ zad's voice ]: I learned a long time ago never
to succumb to tricks or illusions.
I'd be dead by now if I had.
all right, where is prince mah-gah?
he fled to the sea.
I knew it. Where?
near the rocks called caramba.
he's planning to return very shortly.
tonight or tomorrow to rescue his creature.
hmm, and about the creature,
where is the beautiful thing?
she's waiting for you in the chamber.
And as a man of my word, I will send you the slave girl, kyra.
she'll be here before the moon rises.
thank you.
kill the beastmaster and his slave.
but keep the creature.
she can entertain us.
this doesn't look too good.
I want my staff back.
Well, then maybe you should ask for it...very politely.
good idea.
excuse me.
you have something that doesn't belong to you.
you won't be needing it any more.
go!
no, never hit a terron on the head.
that's the one place you can't hurt them.
ooh, hoo, hoo.
Let me show you how this works.
we're going to the mydlands.
will you join us?
I was hoping you'd come with me.
we'd join my people in the
mountains and go to the sea.
another time.
if we ever get there, what's your city called?
it's called atlantis, a place of peace.
-oh, I like that. -i'm grateful for your help.
I will never forget it.
atlantia...
ruh will see you safely to the downs.
he'll go with you.
what did she say?
it made you smile again.
what did she say?
we should go.
we have to pass through the territories before
we get back to the sanctuary.
at least we don't have to
worry about king zad.
what do we do now?
we wait.
