Everyone who loves board games

knows that they are as numerous
and diverse as life itself.

Games of chance,

ingenuity, strategy.

Games that can be played
alone, with a partner,

or in a group.

Some invented hundreds
of years ago

and others only recently.

But when board game enthusiasts

are asked to choose
an adventurous,

fantastic and thrilling game

the life of Ivan Drago
comes out on top.

Where did the game
come from?

Was it the brain-child
of a great inventor?

How it came to be
is a great story,

and one of the squares
at the beginning,

the one that shows
a ferris wheel,

is a good place to start.

Come on, Ivan.

We'll be able to see the whole
town from the top.

It was Ivan Drago's
10th birthday.

His parents had brought him
to the fairground

thinking there could be no
finer present for their son.

[laughter]

Thank you.

Don't be afraid.

You know, your old man
used to fly real balloons.

How about that?

Terrific.

Say Joey, keep us spinning
will ya?

Here come the Drago's!

Aw, take that you--

Oh you did it,
oh my goodness!

Nice to meet ya.

It's embarrassing.

Let's try the carousel.

He's too old for the carousel.

Alright son, you know what,
lets get you home.

If we hurry we might catch the
beginning of Emma's wrestling.

Then something happened

that would change Ivan's
life forever.

Are those the prizes?

Yes.

Hit the apples
and you take home

this rare old backgammon set.

Ivan, you know our family
doesn't play games.

Oh come on, just this once.

It's his special day, look.

Look.

Never mind.

Two direct hits get you dominos.

Oh.

One apple gets you
this checkers... set.

But the stall attendant was
unusually generous this day.

Hey, don't forget
your consolation prize.

For Ivan, this was as good
as any prize he could have won.

Ivan!

You're going to miss
the last round!

Invent a game
and send it today.

Ivan, come on!

Roll the dice and draw
a dream in each square.

Each player has one minute
to draw his dream.

Only one dream can be drawn
in each turn,

the player who fills in the most
squares is the winner.

[car horn]

Ivan?

Wake up, it's late.

With every roll of the dice
you have to draw something

in the appropriate square.

Like an airplane if they want
to travel, or the moon.

Hi mom.

Ivan, do you want cheesecake
or chocolate?

Chocolate.

And if they can't think of
anything they don't draw.

What are you doing?

I'm entering a competition.

Ivan, it's an old comic.

The competition is probably
over by now.

Does it have a name?

It's called what do you want
to be when you grow up.

Mrs. Drago helped him.

Not with the games themselves...

But by hiding Ivan's activities
from his father.

As Mr. Drago had a strict
no games policy in their home.

Remember Aldis,
you know, Aldis.

Shared an office together
when I started at the bank

well I ran into him
at lunch today.

He told me his son little Aldis
is taking up rugby.

He offered to take
Ivan around

the club next Saturday.

That doesn't make sense.

A player can't steal
other players dreams.

If they do they lose.

Napoleon, ocean liner
Napoleon.

Ocean liner.

Third on the right.

[loud horn]

Ivan?

Ivan, wake up.

There's a letter for you.

Dear Ivan, we are delighted
to inform you that your game

has placed you amongst
the top ten thousand entrants

in our competition.

In recognition of this
achievement please find enclosed

our official company
certificate.

Should you wish to continue
competing for the first prize

you must invent
another game

which the company will arrange
to be collected from your home.

Warmest regards, Morodian.

Master Superior of the Profound
Games Company.

Ten thousand?

This competition could go
on forever.

A competition that goes
on forever.

An endless competition.

That's it!

Daddy's wrestling game!

[laughter]

Wow! Out cold!

Oh, that Bone Crusher
is an animal.

These are the good guys,
like the Mountie.

Senor--

he fireman's carry

Frankenstein, Choke Bomb,

Steve Lady's Man Johnson,

Killer Manjaro,

the Time of Death,

these are the baddies.

Bone Crusher, Senor--

the Guillotine penalty
of course, dirty tricks.

Knock, knock.

Ivan. Hey, there you are.

Beautiful day
for a bike ride.

What do you say, son? Hmm?

Concerned about Ivan spending
so much time in his room

his father encouraged him
to take up sports.

Cycling was not a success.

However, the experience inspired
Ivan to create Tour De Stars,

the game that propelled him
into the third leg

of the competition.

Dear Ivan, congratulations.

You are one of our top
100 finalists.

This news encouraged Ivan
to keep inventing

but he didn't dare
tell his father

who still dreamt of his son
becoming a great sportsman.

Thank you Mrs. Drago.

These activities were a source
of great inspiration for Ivan.

Over the following months

he submitted five new games

based on the most
popular sports,

each one more amazing
than the last.

Dear Ivan, you are now one
of the top 10 finalists

chosen to compete
for the grand prize.

We await your next invention.

For the final round of
the competition

Ivan's imagination took flight
with the creation

of around the world in 79 days.

No doubt inspired by Mr. Drago's
return to his lifelong passion

for hot air ballooning.

Son, up here!

[doorbell]

Ivan.

Dearest Ivan, it is my greatest
pleasure to inform you

that you are the winner
of the competition.

Congratulations!

And the prize, our companies
insignia,

a symbol of pride to carry with
you for the rest of your life.

The great game
is just beginning.

It's one of those tattoos
you get with bubblegum.

At first Ivan was
so disappointed.

He showed no interest
in the prize.

But by the following day

curiosity had got
the best of him.

And on the third day

he discovered that the
tattoo would not come off.

Ivan!

What is that boy doing up there?

He's indoors all the time,
he's reading comics,

doing puzzles.

There's something
I have to tell you.

What?

I want you to get rid of
this tattoo immediately.

I can't!

It won't come off,
and anyway

it's the only proof that I won
a competition

out of 10,000 people!

Ivan!

Okay, okay.

Maybe we should just try to
calm down and ignore the tattoo

and forget this ridiculous
competition.

It's not a ridiculous
competition!

You don't understand!

I won.

I'm a game maker!

You have no idea
what that symbol means.

You promised you wouldn't
tell him.

Ivan.

I was worried, I had
to tell your father.

Just leave me alone.

I never want to see
you again.

That night driven by
a sinister premonition

Mr. Drago phoned his father

with whom he hadn't
spoken in 10 years.

Ivan.

Wake up.

Visit Zyl, the games capital
of the world.

See the worlds largest
jigsaw puzzle.

Take a stroll around the
famous lost pieces centre.

Lose yourself in the worlds
most complex natural labyrinth

and attend a games workshop
hosted by engineer Gebbler.

Three time winner of the world
renowned tournament

of inventors.

You'll encounter the world
famous magic brain

which will answer any question
you put to it.

Hello everybody,
I'm Nicholas Drago

and it is my great pleasure
to invite you on a tour of Zyl.

All the world's most
exciting games

are right here waiting
for you.

That's my father.

Your grandfather.

My grandfather?

A game maker?

Oh yes, inventor of such world
famous games

as the End of the World Race,
Crystal Cathedral,

and of course the legendary
Giant Jigsaw Puzzles.

Is he still alive?

Yes, he is.

Why haven't you ever
taken me there?

Why haven't I ever met
my grandpa?

Because, Ivan,
ten years ago

I made the decision to cut
all ties to Zyl

and the world of games.

Why?

It's complicated, but just know
that the only reason

I did that was to protect you,
Ivan.

I did it for you.

But now things have changed,

now it's extremely important
that the Drago's are reunited.

We'll go to Zyl on Sunday,
after the balloon race.

Ivan was unable to sleep
that night,

he wrote a beautiful letter
to his mother

saying that he was sorry.

By daybreak he was dressed,

ready to go with them
to the balloon race.

(Radio): Weekend forecast:
moderate to strong south
easterly winds.

We're expecting blue skies
throughout the day,

mostly clear in the evening
now stay tuned...

Perfect ballooning conditions.

He'd even been thinking about
a gift for his grandfather.

And what could be
more appropriate

than a new improved
version of his last game,

renamed Flight to Zyl.

[gunshot]

Woo!

Ivan!

As usual, the weather forecast
was wrong.

Conditions were suitable,
the winds were light,

which is why no one
could understand

how the accident happened.

What could have caused
the Drago's balloon

to separate from the others
and drift away?

In the days that followed
Ivan asked himself

over and over again how
this could have happened.

But there were many challenges
to face

before he would find the answer
to that question.

[doorbell]

I don't want to come here.

The judge decided
what's best for you.

You should think yourself lucky.

That's right, young man.

Possum is the best school
for miles around,

some very important men
went there.

But the school,

it's sinking.

Oh yes, they say it was built
on a swamp.

There's plenty of floors.

They just make a new entrance

whenever the old one
gets too low.

It happens everywhere.

Look at Venice, it's been
sinking for years.

Good morning, Mr. Drago.

Welcome to Possum.

I hope you realize
how fortunate you are

that the court chose
to send you here.

To Possum.

Since this academic institution
opened its doors

over 100 years ago it has scaled
the heights of excellence.

But the school is sinking.

Oh, you've noticed.

It is something of an
architectural conundrum.

Personally, I believe it is
due to the weight of knowledge.

Now, if we could just complete
the formalities.

Sign here, and here,
and here.

Congratulations
Master Drago,

you are now officially
a Possum boarder.

Right then, I'm sure you are

I'm not going to live here.

I must go to my grandfather
in Zyl,

has anyone told him I'm here?

Grandfather?

In case you hadn't noticed
Master Drago you are an orphan.

As such if no one comes
to claim you

then you cannot leave
this building

until you are 18 of course

and then you are free
to do whatever you like.

Frau Bloom, could you come in
please?

Frau Bloom will be
your personal guardian,

she will see to it
that you never lack

for the warmth of
family affection.

Frau Bloom, please take Master
Drago's case to the dormitory.

(Class): Good morning
Principal Possum.

Good morning Professor Katz.

It appears one of your
pupils doesn't find it necessary

to say good morning
to his school principal.

I would like you all to inform
me of his name.

Or are you all prepared to pay
the price for his disobedience?

Levinchen

Levinchen.

I should have guessed.

Anyway, I'm here today
to introduce you

to a new member of
the class, Ivan Drago.

[violin playing]

Master Pluncket.

This class is not
a music class.

Anyway, Master Drago will serve
as a good example

for you all

that not everyone is fortunate
enough to have a family.

Let alone one with
sufficient means

to send you to a great
institution such as ours.

We are happy to welcome for
the first time in many years

an orphan to Possum.

Carry on Professor Katz.

Where'd you get
that fake tattoo?

Master Krebs.

Talking without permission.

That's yet another black mark
for you.

That was your fault, Drago.

You'll pay for this.

Next!

Listen dummy, this version
is out of date.

Now come on everyone,
you all know how this works.

The more cards you buy the
more chance you have of winning.

Now get out of here
before I lose my temper.

Hey. What are you playing?

Compound fracture.

It's the second edition
of Ruthless Wrestling.

That's weird.

This is just like a game
I invented

called Endless Wrestling.

You invented a game?

Yeah right.

It was based
on the TV show.

I wouldn't know, none of us
are allowed to watch TV.

If you're such an expert
maybe you can give me a hand

I'm getting thrashed here.

Sure, I know this game
inside out.

Hang on, where are
all the good guys?

Look, Frankensteins
signature move is a choke bomb

which beats the Bone Crusher's
guillotine choke

and counters the Parking
Attendants dirty tricks.

So, you can't lose.

What's a Guillotine Choke?

Okay, look.

Bone Crusher's signature move
is the Guillotine Choke,

like this.

But as the Undertakers signature
move the Body Scissors like this

That's a crap signature move!

Who said you could
draw this?

I didn't draw it,
it's real.

Where did you get it?

I won it in a competition.

Did Morodian give it to you?

Yes.

What did he say?

He said he met Morodian.

So you make new games.

Silence you idiots!

He's a liar.

The only one who knows Morodian
around here is me.

And if I don't have a tattoo
no one has a tattoo,

especially a pathetic
little worm like you, Drago.

[bell ringing]

Come on, let's get
out of here.

Saved by the bell,
this time.

Remember Drago,
we're the Lofties.

We rule this school.

Be aware that you
will have electricity

from sunset until
2100 hours precisely

for the sole purpose of reading
educational books.

As it's your first day I won't
ask you to wash the dishes.

Time to go to the dormitory.

What about dessert?

This institution has never
offered dessert to pupils.

It may seem a little big
at first,

but in no time it will feel
just like home.

Report to the dining hall
at 0700 hours.

[creaking floor sounds]

Psst! Psst!

[whispering]
Psst! Ivan!

Ivan, don't be afraid!

We're in the same class,
I'm a boarder here too.

That's not true.

Only boys go to this school.

Are you a ghost?

No silly, I know only boys
are meant to go here

that's why I had to make
myself invisible.

Anunciacion.

Principle Possum told me
that I was the only boarder.

Well, that's what he thinks.

I live here too,
inside the walls.

I know this building better
than anyone,

even Principal Possum.

What do your parents think
of all of this?

The same thing that happened
to you happened to me too.

What?

Hot air balloon accident?

No, not so original.

Car accident.

When Krebs saw your tattoo
in class today

I could see how angry he was.

In class?

But you weren't in class.

Yes I was,

above the blackboard
behind the painting.

I see everything that happens.

Well, everything
except the blackboard.

This guy Krebs, how come
everyone puts up with him?

Up until recently everyone
thought he was a joke.

Then Morodian visits
Principal Possum and Krebs

suddenly has all these
strange games.

Morodian came to the school?

Did you meet him?

I only saw him
from a distance.

They met in secret.

From that moment
everything changed,

Krebs seemed to have all the
games the minute they came out.

And he was the only one who knew
all the secret playing tips.

What's he like?

A little--

Drago?

Mr. Drago.

Are you talking in your sleep?

Remember Mr. Drago.

Silence is one of Possum's
hallmarks.

Do you want to hear more
about Krebs?

I'd prefer it if you told me how
to escape from here.

Escape?

You're really leaving
so soon?

You just got here.

I need to meet my grandfather,

he's a world famous game maker.

He lives in Zyl.

The contest I won
and my parents accident,

my grandfather is the only one
who can help me find out.

How are you going
to get there?

Next Friday is a holiday.

I'll just say I have to go home
for books and clothes.

[chanting]
Bone Crusher!

Bone Crusher!

One week.

You have been here
less than one week

and now everyone plays games
but in a very different manner.

Listen.

[chanting]
Bone Crusher!

Bone Crusher!

Bone Crusher!

You Drago are nothing short
of a noxious plague

upon our educational
institution.

A plague?

Yes, Drago.
A plague.

You're going to be grounded,
permanently.

That's not fair,
you can't do that.

From now on all days off
are suspended.

No weekends, no holidays,
not even public holidays.

Frau Bloom!

[children chatting]

[chanting]
Guillotine Choke!

Guillotine Choke!

Guillotine Choke!

Professor Katz?

May I go to the bathroom?

[children talking and yelling]

[chanting]
Frankenstein!

Frankenstein!

Frankenstein!

Hey, Drago!

[children talking and yelling]

Ivan!

Thanks, they're saying
they want revenge.

It's Krebs, he hasn't been
to school the last few days.

What does it have to do
with me?

He tried to give himself
a tattoo

and now he's in hospital
with a nasty infection.

This is my room.

I was really lucky to find such
a good place to study.

Our classroom is just
behind that wall.

Here, I wanted to show
you something.

I saw Principal Possum
opening this.

And I also found all these.

He spent all last night
trying to do this jigsaw puzzle,

by morning
he'd thrown it out.

What is he doing now?

There's a message, channel 3 -

Now he's going
through your desk.

[bell ringing]

If you don't get back right now
the punishment will be worse.

Worse?

Keep an eye on him,
I'm almost done.

Channel 3 at midnight.

I can't believe this is the only
TV in the whole school.

Old Possum doesn't believe
in television.

Except when he's watching it.

Great.

What time is it?

It's almost midnight.

[choppy voice]
Dice making...

remember...

so if I place half
on one side

what should I place
on the other one?

The material in which dice
are made of is very important.

For example cardboard
is highly unacceptable.

Rubber is also not acceptable.

This will be all for today,
see you next class.

Tomorrow at the same time
on Tele-Zyl

make your own game
with Professor Tramunte.

That concludes our broadcast
A, good night.

We'd better return this.

This is an important message
for Ivan Drago.

Ivan, I hope you're
seeing this.

I'm Nicholas,
your grandfather.

I've been trying to find you

ever since I heard of
your parents tragic accident.

I went to that fortress
of a school you go to

and they turned me away.

Ivan, you are the youngest
in a long line of Drago's,

the most famous games makers
in the world.

I'll be broadcasting
this message every night

and I hope that fate brings
you safe and sound to Zyl soon.

I do have a grandfather.

He's waiting for me in Zyl.

I'll escape from
this horrible school.

That won't be easy, Ivan.

What if I managed
to close it down?

How are you going
to do that?

Take me to the library.

It's two floors down.

Nobody ever goes down there,

they think it's haunted.

As each floor sinks
they close it.

This one was abandoned
10 years ago.

Really?

They say the last boarder
who tried to escape

got chained to the post
in the library.

When it sunk he drowned.

And after all these years

he's still trying to come up
for air,

and when he does
you'll hear a splash.

Actually, you know what,

maybe there's no point
in going down there.

The damp will have destroyed
all the books

and we won't be able to find
anything in the dark.

Ivan.

Look.

What do you think we should
be looking for?

The school's mystery.

A buildings secret?

There's got to be a structural
weakness

that is making
the building sink.

It just needs to sink a few feet
in one day

and they'll close down
the school.

But it's only been sinking
one floor every twenty years.

Maybe we can speed up
the process.

What were you saying?

Don't worry,
they're only stories.

Look at this.

[gasping]

We're taking out a book,

shouldn't you fill out
a library card?

[cricket sounds]

Here, look at this.

Pass it along.

[chatting]

Don't ask, just take it.

Oh yeah, we just found out.

I'm so excited.

I know, I wonder what
it's going to be.

[chatter]

Frau Bloom,

keep a close eye on
Master Drago today.

[chatter]

It's clear.

Ivan, Principal Possum
is gone!

Gentlemen!

What you are about
to take part in

is not just any game.

It is one of the oldest games
in history.

A treasure hunt.

It is -

[whispering]
Psst, Ivan! Over here!

What are you doing here?

I thought we agreed to meet
at the railway station.

I had to make Frau Bloom
secure.

Why haven't you started
the game yet?

Ivan.

I needed to get as many players
as possible

or else it won't work.

There's only one train
a week to Zyl

and it leaves in an hour.

Don't waste any more time.

Now, is everyone ready?

(All): Yes!

Yes.

He's here.

Okay, here are the clues.

A man of marble proudly waits,

within his hands
he holds your fates.

His memory long
but his sight is short

and tucked in his glasses
you'll find what you sought.

Another clue.

To the principals office.

Come on!

Pinned to their names
the butterflies sleep,

spiders don't weave and locusts
don't leap.

Weave, I know!

Come on lets go!

These are the things
he pretends he owns

as he hears the rattle
of his yellowing bones.

I got it!

Yes!

You didn't get it?

So, what do we do now?

Just follow the others.

Drago!

[cheering]

I'm going to get it!

I saw it first!

Mine!

Give me it!

No, no, no.

Going somewhere Drago?

Bleach, acids,
abrasive cleaning pads.

And sandpaper.

Ugh!!!

[door rattles]

Frau Bloom, help!

I'm locked in!

Can you hear me?

If it doesn't come off after

[door rattles]

[crowd yelling]

Good lord, no.

The sinking points.

Ahhhhhhh!!!!!!!!

Endless Wrestling!

I've got it! I've got it!

[struggling grunts]

Don't let him get away!

Krebs!

[ground rumbling]

He dreams of the future,
full of glory and pomp.

As slowly the school
sinks into the swamp.

This way, over here!

Oh no!

We've got to get them
all out!

My violin, have you seen
my violin?

Have you seen it?

Oh my god!

Has anyone seen it?

Principal Possum!

Just a minute!

Those ones too!

You alright?

[coughing]

Alright.

That's one, two, three, four,

yeah that's the last four,
everyone is safe.

Oh if not for you Ivan
we would still be in there.

[chanting]
Ivan! Ivan! Ivan!

Ivan! Ivan!

You'll pay.

Pay for this, Drago!

One for the press,
thank you.

Ivan! Ivan! Ivan!

I don't care if they think
you're a hero, Drago.

I know you planned
this whole thing,

you won't get away with it.

Master Drago!

You cannot leave this school!

You are still grounded!

Drago!

[panting]

Did the school really sink?

Uh, completely.

Completely?

I didn't think anything
that drastic would happen.

It was only meant to sink
a few feet.

All aboard!

Where will you live now?

Back with my Aunt Elena.

I ran away and now it's time
I went home.

Thank you.

Good bye Anunciacion.

[train horn]

Why don't you come with me?

I could say you're my sister.

No, Ivan.

It's you they're waiting for.

Will you come visit me
in Zyl someday?

Of course, I'll pop up
when you least expect it.

Tickets!

Tickets please!

You're getting off at Zyl?

Yes, why?

Normally people only get on
the train at Zyl.

Tickets! Tickets please!

You seem to like drawing.

Well, just to sketch
my ideas.

Inventions.

You know, I keep finding
lost property in the carriages.

Look at this, I saw an ad
for good illustration courses

in this old comic book.

Zyl is our next stop.

Don't fall asleep.

What if he doesn't see anyone
and got back on the train.

Well, obviously that would
be your fault.

My fault?

Ivan?

Sorry we weren't here
to meet you.

Your grandfather had us waiting.

I'm Knight.

I'm Bishop.

They call us...

(Both): The Checkmates.

I'm Ivan Drago.

Hey.

What's that?

What?

I won it in a competition.

You know what that means
in Zyl?

It's the logo of the Profound
Games company.

What's it got to do with Zyl?

Come on, your grandfather
will explain.

Where is my grandfather?

He sent us to meet
every train

so there was someone
to welcome you.

He hoped you got his message.

Oh, that's Zyl TV station.

That's the museum.

It's the first place people
visit when they come to Zyl.

Except nobody comes to Zyl.

The mayor had these made
a few years ago.

The mayor, as in your dad?

Yeah, okay, my dad.

The thing is he puts them there
so that the train passengers

won't see how deserted
the place has got.

Hello, Checkmates.

The magic brain!

I saw it in the film about Zyl.

Yes, it's the original.

But it's closed down.

Why?

Your grandfather will explain.

[knocking]

Nicholas?

Nicholas!

Ivan?

It's you!

Oh, you solved the puzzle
I sent you!

Oh well done, oh!

Oh.

[coughs]

Please excuse my coughing,

it's the blasted fans
I have to keep on.

Thank you, Checkmates!

I'm leaving the keys to
the truck over here Mr. Drago.

By the way Ivan,
if you like fishing

we go to the River Rubic
every day,

you should come.

Bye.

Come on, lets get
you settled in.

Come on, come on.

My grandson.

Little out of fashion
don't you think?

Your father and his friends.

He didn't really talk much
about growing up in Zyl.

Your father grew up with a
different approach to life.

I never thought I'd have
a son

who did not share
my love of games.

Grandpa, I want you
to read this.

No one ever knew where
they ended up on that race.

No one told us that they
had found their bodies,

and then I found that.

This is a comic book,
Ivan.

I know it's not fair but we have
to learn to accept our losses

no matter how
incomprehensible they may seem.

Hot air ballooning.

Oh my goodness.

Listen, we have each other now.

You must be hungry
after your journey,

I'll fix us some dinner.

So, young Ivan.

Tell me about your interest
in games.

Well, I invented some games
for a competition

that had over 10,000 contestants
and I ended up winning.

Ohhh!

This was the first prize.

It was sent to me
by Mr. Morodian,

have you heard of him?

Your father loved spaghetti.

Do you know Morodian?

Ivan, you are now
with me here.

Zyl is the world capital
for games inventions.

Grandpa I'm, I'm happy
to be here

I just...

I couldn't help noticing
the town it seems a bit quiet.

Well, that's true.

We have seen better times,

but those of us
who stayed in Zyl

feel that the glory days
will return to us here.

After all, it only takes
one game to change everything.

Dessert?

Coming right up.

Now, are you working on
anything new?

Well, I am working on
something new.

It's kind of like
a spinning top.

One side makes a player
invisible to his opponents.

The way it works at the moment

players don't have an equal
chance of winning.

You can't let that hold
you back,

you play a lot of board games
with mismatched sides.

Do you know any of the famous
hunting games,

do you know Comycan?

No.

Well, your grandmother
won the world championship

for five consecutive years.

To be honest I've never
actually played a board game

against anyone else.

Oh my god.

At home my parents.

Oh no, we can't have that.

Follow me.

Some people call it
Inca Chess,

but others know it as
the Puma and the Dogs.

But if you're the puma
it's one against twelve?

Correct.

As in all hunting games
the sides are mismatched,

but if he's smart the puma can
still win the game.

You must always have
a strategy,

use short rapid strokes
and he takes by leaping.

Comme ca, comme ca.

Create spaces for yourself

and you eliminate dogs
one by one.

And Comycan.

Shall we play a game?

What do you want,
puma or dogs?

The puma.

No, alright alright.

Go on.

The first key to victory
is never giving up hope

no matter how many opponents

even if the odds are stacked
against you.

And Comycan.

How were you able to beat me
so quickly?

A game like Comycan
requires skill, not luck.

Rematch?

Grandpa, I think
this competition

is somehow linked
to my parents.

The second key to success
is concentration.

Look.

What's up with you,
Ivan?

You haven't said a word all day.

I'm trying to figure
everything out.

I've never met Morodian
and he's everywhere.

I thought my grandpa
could give me answers

about what happened
to my parents,

he doesn't want
to talk about it.

I think the explanation is
the one my father always gives,

everything bad is
Morodian's fault.

I have to see
the magic brain,

it's the only way to get
an answer in Zyl.

I told you it's temporarily
closed.

Temporarily closed?

But I've never seen it open.

Look, my father promised me
they would open it again.

Yeah, well your father promises
a lot of stuff.

He promised to prune
the old labyrinth

and now it's scarier
than before.

If someone goes in
they never come out.

And what about Zyl TV
broadcasting in colour?

If he didn't manage
any of that

there's a fat chance of him
reopening the magic brain.

Shut your mouth, Knight.

There is a chance.

For the record
this is the first time

I've ever stolen anything
from my father.

Oh my goodness.

[clicking sounds]

Ivan.

Do you want us
to leave?

Are you crazy?

This is the first question
in 20 years,

I'm not going to miss it.

Magic Brain,

can you explain the link
between this, Morodian

and what happened
to my parents

during that balloon race?

[clanging sounds]

[mumbles]

Ivan, I think you should ask
simpler questions, you know?

Yes or no answers.

Okay.

Are my parents alive?

[clanging sounds]

[mumbles]

What is it?

Yes or no?

It's a yes.

No.

It's a yes.

Stop.

You're wasting your time.

It's only a game
and no more than that.

Life's great decisions
cannot be left to a machine.

So, what about this?

To understand we must know
the past.

To comprehend the past

we must go to the museum.

Who goes there?

I'm calling the police.

Oh, do calm down Zylmar.

It's only me Nicholas.

It's after midnight,
so you must be Ivan.

My name is Zylmar Canobias.

I am the curator
of this museum

and also the security guard.

This puzzle was made by your
great-grandfather, Blaze Drago.

Here we have the Rubic River

which marks the southern
boundary of the city.

Up to the north the abandoned
labyrinth.

There is the magic brain
and here is the museum.

And the missing piece?

I'll leave that one to Nicholas.

It was Morodian.

That piece had a picture
of his house on it.

When he stole it

it was as if he'd taken
the soul of the city.

What use is a jigsaw puzzle
with a missing piece?

Morodian lived in Zyl?

Morodian's parents own a missing
chess pieces store.

His mother ran off
with a traveling salesman.

His father, poor soul,
decided one night

to go looking for her.

Through the labyrinth.

[thunder and lightning]

That night Morodian
became an orphan

so I took him in.

You raised Morodian?

Your father and Morodian
were almost the same age,

they grew up together.

Your father never shared
our passion for games.

But Morodian,

he became my apprentice.

But as the years went by

something seemed
to sour within him.

His games became darker,
more sinister.

He said that they were
from his deepest nightmares.

Soon thereafter he submitted
his entry

into the young
inventors tournament.

His entry was called
the Labyrinth of Death

based on his fathers
terrible demise.

Zyl was not ready to accept
someone so different

so Morodian at the age of 20
was banished from the town.

He blamed me.

Was it your decision?

No one was willing to take
responsibility.

So we finally decided to take
it to the magic brain.

The brain replied yes.

Morodian felt that I had
betrayed him

and he left that same night

committing one last
act of defiance.

He left a letter.

He attacked me

for abandoning him to the
whim of an old machine

and said he wished I had
never taken him in.

He finished the letter
with a terrible curse.

The dynasty of Drago inventors

will end with you, Nicholas.

Your father left town
shortly after to begin his life.

And you never heard
from him again?

Not until his call informing me
of your existence.

But now I realize it was his
choice to keep you a secret.

But Morodian got what he
wanted and was able to find me.

But now, now, now.

He actually didn't get
what he wanted.

You want to be a games maker,
a great inventor,

you're living here with your
grandpa in the right place.

Forget Morodian.

I can't ignore Morodian, he's
been making me play this game

without explaining the rules
and I think he's the only one

who knows what
happened to my parents.

Sorry grandpa.

But don't you understand?

That's exactly what
he wants.

Please, Ivan.

Don't make me lose you
as well.

I have to find out what
happened to my parents

and the only way to do that is
to face Morodian.

No, Ivan.

Don't Ivan!

Please!

It's a trap!

Don't do this!

Zylmar! Zylmar!

[panting]

[train bustling through]

[panting]

Ugh!!

[coughs]

(Grandpa's voice): The keys
to success are confidence
and concentration.

[knocking]

Company.

Company this is Mobile 1,
over.

This is Company,
what have you to report?

Over.

Taking passenger, repeat,
the passenger to The Company.

Over.

Sir?

Sir?

Could you please
tell Morodian that I -

The Profound Games Company
Headquarters, Terminus.

I want to see Morodian.

Name.

Ivan Drago.

Take the elevator to
the top floor and wait.

Ivan Drago is entering
the Profound Games Company.

[elevator ding]

Oh, you're here,

sorry I was supposed to meet you
at the door.

I'm Ivan.

I'm Ivan.

I know, I know.

I'm not really Ivan,
I'm a professional Ivan.

A fake Ivan?

No, no.

Not fake, professional.

This is my job.

You know, I had a feeling
you'd be arriving any day

because they didn't seem
that bothered with me anymore

and I had begun to suspect that

they were going to replace me
with the real thing.

I want to see Morodian now.

Morodian?

I don't think you will be able
to see him now,

he's probably still dreaming.

No, no, no, no, no.

We have to wait because
when the red light is on

it means Mr. Profoundus
is dreaming.

Interrupting him
will be unforgivable.

What are those?

panmonitors, Mr. Profoundus's
bodyguards.

They have 360 degree control,
brilliant isn't it?

Who's that?

A dream scribe.

Dream scribes are responsible

for noting and interpreting
Mr. Profoundus's words,

based on what he says
to make his dreams

wonderful new games are created.

Mr. Profoundus?

Yes, that's how Morodian
wishes to be addressed.

Anyway, as I was saying at
the beginning of the world

obsessed by my acting.

Watch, your tenth birthday.

Shwoop! Shwoop!!!

And how about this,
organizing the treasure hunt.

This is not just any game,

this is one of the oldest games
in history.

How do I sound?

I've got a five year contract
to play you in other shows,

five years.

Shows?

Yeah. The life of Ivan Drago.

It's by far the best attraction
in the whole of Profound Park.

This one is Ramuz,
the chief scribe.

Mr. Profoundus, the real Ivan
has arrived.

Are you Ivan?

Welcome.

Ivan.

You must be very happy.

Happy?

Why would I be happy?

Excited.

Grateful.

Overwhelmed.

No.

Why should I be?

Why?

Why? Because you are in the
true mecca of games invention,

it wasn't easy getting
you here.

In fact it took years,

I had to intervene repeatedly
in your life.

Intervene?

What gave you the right
to do that?

I want to know the truth
about my parents accident.

I must confess
I'm rather surprised

to find you so ungrateful,

especially considering
the fact that Profound Parks

main attraction will be a game
bearing your name.

Only a few more days now,
hours.

The big opening is nearly
upon us.

Oh, but where are
my manners?

We need to get him settled in.

We need to get you settled in.

Come, let me show you
the factory.

The engineers room

where my ideas are transformed
into games,

come and meet Lazarus
one of our chief engineers.

Ivan Drago.

Don't bother talking to him,
he's deaf.

Lost his hearing working
on a dynamite game.

Dynamite games about to go
on sale to the general public,

sure to be a big hit.

An explosive success.

But, once you've detonated it.

Yes, you have to buy another.

You learn fast.

Poor thing, can't keep
them awake.

Yes, here at the company
we consider work and leisure

to be rather old fashioned
concepts.

Death Trap?

I know this game, they
used to play it at Possum.

I never really got it, as far as
I could see

the player who has more cards
always had an advantage.

Correct, the player
who has purchased

the greater number
of cards has--

A greater chance of winning,
yes.

I find that traditional games

give children such an
unrealistic idea of life.

Equal opportunity,
level playing ground,

all those ridiculous myths.

This game teaches children
the truth,

those with the greater means
at their disposal

have a greater chance
of success.

Now, the companies
best selling games

are the ones that spring
directly from my dreams.

They belong to
the nightmare series.

Nightmare?

My grandpa said that
when you were in Zyl.

Silence!

Company rule number one,

it's forbidden to utter
the name of that place.

Oh, this is rather interesting.

Now, anything that's no longer
of use to us is sent

into the games garbage
and there's so much of it.

You see, all of our games
are designed to be obsolete

within six months of purchase,

it means the customer
always has something new

to look forward to.

Do people work down there?

Like I said anything
that's no longer of use to us

is sent down there.

Garbage men don't usually last
that long but Gabbler,

he's survived
for quite some time.

Who?

Gabler.

Exceptional engineer but his
heart just wasn't in the job,

I had to find a new role for him
in the company.

Possum?

Principal Possum?

What's the matter?
You seen a ghost?

Hurry along now, your
induction starts in two minutes.

It will be a true inspiration
to my workers

seeing the last hope of that
decadent city installed here

at the Profound Games Company.

Your arrival will guarantee
that Ivan Drago's life

becomes the parks
greatest attraction.

And it will also prove that life
is indeed a game.

Ivan's childhood.

Spent with his doting parents.

Until their unfortunate
hot air balloon accident.

Next, Ivan's brief sojourn
at Possum

and the dramatic sinking
of the school

and then came Ivan to
the capital of decay.

But we would never leave our
customers without a grand finale

and so Ivan Drago
like so many others before him

joining the Profound
Games Company.

Listen, Morodian.

Mr. Profoundus, whatever
you want to call yourself.

My life isn't a game,

that balloon out there,
it's not a toy.

My parents were on board

and I want to know what you've
done with them.

It's late and you've had
a long journey.

I'll tell you what,

go to bed get some rest

tomorrow you'll start
working for the company.

No.

I don't want to sleep,
I want the truth.

Ahh! Ah! Ah!!!

Ivan needs to rest,
you must sleep.

So tomorrow he can begin his
new life in our great company.

...Thank you for your visit,
please exit out the front door.

Welcome to the home
of Ivan Drago,

we at Profound Park
remind you not to touch

any of the displays.

You are walking inside an exact
replica of Ivan's childhood home

where he lived in the years

before the tragic accident
that befell his parents

the day their balloon drifted
into the high mountain peaks,

never to be seen again.

After two weeks of
tireless searching

authorities confirmed there
were no survivors.

An only child and
without any living relatives...

[panting]

[panting]

Mom!!!

Dad!!!

An excellent replica.

Don't you think?

Really quite remarkable.

Well, come on.

Up you get Ivan.
Give me your hand.

There we go.

It's time to see
where you'll be working.

Come.

I'm very excited for you to see
your office, Ivan.

Where people will watch
you working inventing games,

signing autographs,

oh strictly one per person
of course.

And here we are.

Well, jump down,
have a look.

Tell me what you think.

I don't like it.

Really?

You don't think seeing Nicholas
Drago's grandson working for me

is an amazing ending?

Come on.

Maybe for you.

Not for me, and for the visitors
I don't think so.

Oh, you may have a point.

Perhaps I need to look deeper
into my dreams

to find the perfect ending
to Ivan Drago's life.

Don't I have a say?

Well, we could work together.

Two great inventors
joining forces

to create the ultimate game.

Yes, I dream, you write.

It's been decided.

Remus will show you
what to do.

Forget it, I'll never be
your dream scribe.

I'm going back to Zyl
as soon as you tell me

all you know about
my parents accident,

and give back that puzzle
piece you stole.

Have it your way, Ivan.

You're free to leave
whenever you want,

but there is one last thing
you really should see

before you go.

Who knows, it might just
help you change your mind.

You know something Ivan,
you and I we possess a gift

that these fools
can only dream of.

The ability to create
amazing games.

I'm nothing like you,
Morodian.

For you games
are dark and brutal.

But of course they are.

Did granddaddy
teach you nothing?

You're young.

In time you'll understand life
is the most brutal game of all

and when the time comes
to crush your opponent Ivan

you must show no mercy.

Winner takes all.

Sorry, but you're wrong
Morodian.

I'll never join you.

Really, I can't tempt you?

You must be hungry you haven't
had any breakfast.

Oh, very well.

Just like mama used to make.

Oh, by the way,

behind you this is going to be
a really big draw,

we've just got a few teething
problems.

Krebs!

Krebs, you idiot, I said above
the water not in the water.

Hey, Drago!

Not the sharpest tool in
the box your classmate

but very loyal.

And here we are, a little girl
with the extraordinary talent,

she can camouflage herself
against any background.

Anunciacion.

Poor thing, you know the
three of us have much in common.

Well, I'm glad to see
you're resigned to stay.

Get settled in you'll be
my dream scribe tonight,

my chamber 3:00 am,
don't be late.

If you put a watch close to
his ear he dreams of his father.

The sound of a silver spoon
in a glass of water

and he dreams of ships.

You must write down
every single word

that Mr. Profoundus utters.

Take this.

His most vivid dreams occur
during the hours before dawn,

you will meet me
at 3:00 am do not be late.

Mr. Drago, can I have
an autograph?

Mr. Drago!

Hey! Mr. Drago!

Can I just say what
an honour it is

to have been
chosen to play you.

An honour.

Look, this is what they gave me
when I was hired.

Ivan Drago is resourceful,
brave and determined.

I'm nothing.

Nothing?

You're a legend.

Come on, take a look.

Brave and determined?

That's a joke.

But of course you are,

you won a competition
that lasted more than a year,

you sunk a school.

I could never have done
those things.

You, Ivan, you're a hero.

You know, I was thinking,

shouldn't we prepare
before the park opens?

Oh yes, I'm a bag of nerves
just thinking about it.

Which is why I want
to help you rehearse.

Don't open the door to anyone
until I get back.

[electric sparks]

Mr. Gabler?

[electric sparks]

Gabler?

[electric sparks]

Mr. Gabler?

Ivan Drago!

The real Ivan Drago in person.

Yes. It's me.

What are you doing here?

I came to ask
about my parents.

You won't find them
in the garbage,

but if you're asking if Morodian
was responsible

for the balloon accident

the only person who can answer
that is Morodian himself.

If you're trapped down here

how do you know about
the balloon and my parents?

There's something
you should see.

This room is dedicated
to your life.

Why?

When he discovered who you were

and was able to see your talent

well he put all his energy
and resources

into fulfilling his curse.

His aim was to separate you
from your family

and luring you here will be
the final nail in Zyl's coffin.

A double victory.

Did she read this?

Apparently so.

Escape.

Look at me.

I too came here thinking
I could stop this monster.

No, I can't just run away.

Morodian kidnapped my friend
Annunciacion.

He showed me her theatre.

Have you seen her?

Could be a trap,
be careful.

I don't have much time,
how do I get back up top?

With a little help
from our old friend.

Victor Jade.

These were all printed to
bring you into the company.

Now perhaps they'll help you
get out of here.

If you know the way out
why don't you go up top?

If I ever leave here it will be
to go back to Zyl.

Tyrelas, we have to get
Shark Pit ready.

Yes sir.

Anunciacion!

Anunciacion!

How did you find me?

Morodian showed me your theatre,
he's a monster.

I'm sure he had something to do
with my parents accident.

I'm hoping they're here.

I haven't heard anything since
they kidnapped me two days ago,

Morodian's been making me
rehearse day and night.

I have to go, he wants me
to be his dream scribe

but I'll come back for you.

I promise.

Don't come back here,
it's too dangerous.

Lets meet in my theatre.

panmonitors will come
take me to rehearse soon,

but don't worry about it.

Considering they have three
brains they're pretty stupid.

Making myself invisible
is kind of my specialty.

We'll find a way out of here.

You're late.

Be careful not to wake him.

You wouldn't want to suffer
the wrath of Mr. Profoundus.

[heavy breathing]

(Sleep talking): Yes father,
yes father I'm coming.

I'm coming.

Where are my--

No questions,
I'm tired.

So tired.

Where are Ivan Drago's parents?

What parents?

Ivan Drago is an orphan.

I didn't mean to hurt them.

I didn't want to.

What did you want?

To keep them away.

So Ivan would join the company
but the wind, the wind

took them to the mountains
within seconds,

they're frozen solid.

Frozen solid.

We sent an expedition
in search of them,

all they brought back was
a bag.

[alarm wailing]

Do you really think
I'm that stupid?

[alarm wailing]

Mr. Profoundus, is
everything alright?

Where's the boy?

Deactivate the alarm!

Yes sir, immediately.

Make a note,
loyalty test failed.

Tell the panmonitors to fetch
Mr. and Mrs. Drago.

Anunciacion.

Anunciacion!

Ivan, over here!

In Mamma's Cakes!

Come on, we've got to get
out of the park!

What about your parents?

No, my parents are.

No, Ivan.

There's a man and a woman,
I just saw them.

They look exactly
like your photo.

They were taken by
the panmonitors.

Smell those cakes, my mother
was just here I'm sure.

I'd know that smell anywhere.

Still hot.

They must have
just taken them!

Oohh!!!

UGH!!!!!

My parents,
have you seen them?

Oh, you mean that was the real
Mr. And Mrs. Drago?

Amazing.

Where were they taking them?

Oh, this tunnel leads
to the shark bait tank.

Oh no, Krebs!

Who are you?

Why are you following us?

He's the fake Ivan!

Not fake!

Professional!

Ivan!

No!

No!

Help us!

Ahhhhh!!!!!!

Hang on honey, it's okay,
it's okay.

No! Please!

Stop!

Someone help us!

No!

Anunciacion, distract
the panmonitors.

Stop copying me!

Sorry.

You go that way.

Okay, fine.

You're crazy!

Ah!!

Hey guys, I'm over here,
come get me.

Oh my.

No!

Ivan! Ivan!

Don't worry, I'll get you
out of there!

Son!

Put them down, Krebs.

Okay, have it your way.

No, no.

Ahhhh!! Ahhhh!!!!!!

Hang on, hang on honey.

Get off me, Drago.

No!

Ivan, watch out!

[fighting grunts]

Ivan, are you alright?

Stand by, Drago.

Now lets see if your parents
can swim.

Pick on someone
your own size.

How does this work?

Up, up!

Put it up!

No, not that one,
the other one!

Mom, dad!

Ivan!

What the--

Ivan, are you okay?

Ivan, watch out!

Put it up!

Be careful!

Anunciacion!

Keep the cage swinging!

Are you sure, Ivan?

Don't worry, Dad.

I know what I'm doing.

Okay.

[shrill scream]
Ahhhhhh!!!!!!!

Yes!

Well done, Ivan!

Yes!

Ramuz.

Sir?

We missed you so much.

This is Anunciacion,
my invisible friend.

How are you doing?

Hi.

Come on! We've got
to get out of here fast!

The balloon!

The balloon.

Yeah.

Thank you for everything Ivan.

I don't know who you are,
but thank you.

Lets go.

It was nothing, dad.

Dad?

Send every panmonitor
to the balloon.

Now!

Come on, hurry!

Other rope Ivan.

Okay, this ones cut.

Get the rope.

Hang on everybody.

Okay.

Honey, get the ballast.

We're ready for takeoff.

Okay, igniting burners.

Honey.

Ivan!

Ivan, come back here!

Ivan!

Son!

Ivan, look out!

Run, Ivan!

No!

Ivan, look out!

Ivan, come back here!

Ivan! Run!

So, I create all this
in your honour

and you repay me
with betrayal.

I dream up the perfect ending
and you refuse to play along.

And look at you now, Ivan.

Back where our game began.

You're surrounded,
you cannot win.

(Grandpa's voice):
By never giving up hope

even when faced
with many opponents.

Say goodbye to your parents,
Ivan.

I've no use for them now,

but I'm afraid you and the
jigsaw piece are staying here.

Oh no, Ivan.

Ivan, don't be ridiculous.

We know your life story here.

Everyone knows
you're a hopeless shot.

Mom, dad, duck!

Bravo.

This is the end of your curse
on my family, Morodian.

But it's just a tiny piece
of cardboard.

What matters is the last of the
Drago's remains here with me,

that's the fulfillment
of my curse.

No Morodian, no.

As of today the curse
is lifted.

Oh please, you've never played
a game in your entire life.

I wouldn't trust you to move
a single playing piece.

Maybe not,

but I can move in real life.

Oh, you have my sympathies
Ivan.

Not even a word goodbye.

Oh well, here you are alone,
abandoned,

orphaned for a second time.

Just like me.

Take him down to his office,
back to work,

nothing has happened here.

Ivan!

Don't let the balloon advance,

don't let the balloon advance!

Gahhh!!!!!

You idiots,
stop the balloon.

Stop the balloon!

Stop it!

I won't let you get away
with this, Ivan!

Ivan!

Ivan! Ivan!

You got it son, you got it.

Ivan!

[grunts]

Take my hand!

All this could have been
yours, boy.

You've got it, one at a time.

Ivan!

You can do it!

You think you can beat me!

Huh?

All this was yours Ivan!

Yes!

Mom!

Comycan!

[explosion]

[laughter]

Those of you who have played
the game

'The Life of Ivan Drago'

will know that it is not made
by the Profound Games company

and that it ends with
Ivan's triumphant return to Zyl.

Here come the Drago's!

Celebrated in one of the most
beautiful drawings on the board,

but it says nothing about
how he returns the stolen piece.

Now that the jigsaw puzzle
was complete

the tattoo on Ivan's hand

was no longer a reminder
of what was missing

but a symbol of what had
been achieved.

And we'll never know

if it was thanks to the return
of the jigsaw piece

or because of the enormous
success of the game

the life of Ivan Drago
and other games of course,

what is certain is that Zyl
regained its prosperity

and became the city
it once was.

But the game only tells
one part of the story,

while the fanatics carry on
playing beyond the last square

the purists say
that the real game

is not the one with
the illustrated board

but rather the first game that
Ivan devised for the contest,

the empty page that the players
complete with drawings

of their own dreams.

They say the true game of
life is that blank page.

Lets roll the dice again.
