All language subtitles for Mortal Kombat CONQUEST - Ep. 05 - The Essense (1998 - 480p DVDRip)

Please!

Please! I beg of you, no more!
No more!

Confess the truth... and
the pain will cease.

I told you everything. The Essence,
it was taken to the Earth Realm.

- Where in the Earth Realm?
- To a man. I heard the name Daahraan.

Did this Princess Kitana take
the Essence to this Daahraan?

I don't know. I swear.
I swear I don't know.

- She is lying.
- No. Emperor, I swear.

I don't know who
took the Essence.

Bring the other forward.

Qali! Mistress, please help me.
Make him stop.

Why are you doing this
to a poor servant?

Servants hear things, know
things about their masters.

But why am I here?
She serves Kitana.

Yes, loyal to the Princess.

As so many still are.

Watch the Shadow Priest
carefully, Qali.

You may be his next victim.

I don't need to watch.

I saw my brother die at you hand...
beheaded in front of your army.

I allowed him a noble death. He
fought well for his doomed cause.

Great fighters run in your family, Qali.
There's clearly fight left in you still.

Fight? Against you?
No, Shao Kahn.

I am faithful to Outworld
and to my Emperor.

Ah.

And perhaps... faithful
to a lifelong friendship.

You grew up with Kitana. You
trained together as young girls.

I doubt my stepdaughter's
loyalty, why not yours?

- Because there is no reason.
- No reason?

No reason? Your family dead at my hand, I
murdered your king, I crushed your Realm.

I assume treachery,
loyalty I question.

Do you question that I acknowledge you
as the greatest power of all Realms?

I bow to that power.

While dreaming of rebellion?

You are either a loyal servant,
Qali, or a halfway decent liar.

Just remember... that is
the price of treason.

Emperor, I'm convinced the
servant is telling the truth.

Shut her up.

Please, I beg of you...

If Kitana is a traitor, you would
be wise to be the one to tell me.

Otherwise...

there will be no release
from your pain.

In each of us there burns
a soul of a warrior.

In every generation, a few
are chosen to prove it.

Centuries ago in a time of darkness and
fury that fate befell three strangers.

A monk - Kung Lao...

An exiled guard - Siro...

And a thief - Taja...

Who have to defend our Earth Realm
from the forces of Outworld.

By fighting for their lives.

By fighting for their honour.

Your soul is mine!

And by fighting for their realm.

It's the burden you must carry.

In a tournament called...
Mortal Kombat.

You're spoiling us, Taja.

Well, I thought we could all
use a little pampering...

after the beatings our
bodies have taken lately.

Tell me about it.

I've been in more fights in the last couple
of weeks than a bad year in the army.

Thanks to Kung Lao here.

- Hey, I told you there'd be danger.
- Danger's one thing.

Ninjas falling from the
ceiling are another.

So are guys who have fanged creatures
flying out of their hands.

Or ones that shoot ice at you.

I can't believe I'm saying this.
None of that can happen.

- Check your bruises. It happened.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Taja, this is great.

- Mmmm.
- But can we afford it?

I made a deal with Mei Lyn.

I bartered some old stuff from the
trading post to rent this place.

It belongs to one of her uncles.

- Where'd you meet this Mei Lyn?
- In the bazaar.

We were admiring
the same outfit.

Neither one of us could afford it,
but we do have the same taste.

We sort of talked a bit
and kind of hit it off.

So you made a new friend, huh?

Yeah. Yeah, I guess I did.

It feels kind of good, you know.

I haven't really had the
chance to make friends.

I guess you don't get too close to
people when you're robbing them.

Hey, I grew up alone on the streets.
I was just a kid.

Yeah, I stole... to survive.

Maybe you don't know what it's
like to sleep under bridges...

and never know where your next
meal is coming from, but I do.

Hey, it was a joke.

A bad one, okay? I'm sorry.

It's okay.

It was what it was.

[DOOR OPENS]

Can I bring you anything?
Tea? Water?

Uh, you could bring me anything.

- Thanks, Mei Lyn. We're fine.
- Well, I'm happy you're pleased.

Relax and enjoy.

She's nice, isn't she?

[DOOR CLOSES] Extremely.

I like her. She's very...
easy-going.

And resourceful.

- She's stealing our money.
- What?

Locked.

Step back.

Kitana! If the Emperor
finds out, we're finished.

- He won't. Tell me.
- Maya is dead.

I've known her my whole life.

It's just like Kahn to attack
the weak, the defenceless.

What did the poor woman say?

She told him the Essence was taken to
Earth Realm to someone called Daahraan.

- Did she say how?
- No, but he suspects you.

- Speculation proves nothing.
- That's why you're still alive.

I must leave for Earth
Realm as soon as possible.

You can't, Kitana.

Shao Kahn will kill you
if he finds you gone.

- The Essence is worth my life.
- And what about mine?

Kahn is convinced that if you're
a traitor, I must be, too.

- Then remain in Outworld. You'll be safe.
- I can't let you do this alone.

- Then meet me in one hour.
- I'll be waiting.

I've always been able
to count on you, Qali.

What did you learn?

How best to use a branding
iron for torture.

Get to it or I may teach you
even more about torture.

One of the Shadow Priests made
a servant woman confess...

that something called the Essence
was taken to Earth Realm.

The Essence of Edenia.

I thought Edenia was
destroyed when Kahn invaded.

True. But not its soul.

As long as the Essence exists,
Edenians still have hope.

That is what Shao
Kahn must crush.

I think Kahn suspects that
Kitana may go after the Essence.

- But if he catches her, she's dead.
- She will go.

And you will follow her.

Straight to the Essence.

If the Emperor finds out
I'm gone, he'll kill me.

You. Water.

Nicely executed. But why
kill a water bearer?

He's a spy for Shao Kahn.

They're everywhere down here.

They listen and watch.
And I hunt them.

It's me Shao Kahn is watching.

That is why you will be able to
follow Kitana to the Essence.

For the time being, I will stay here.
I can cover your absence.

I will go, but what is it?
What am I looking for?

Only Kitana knows what
form it has taken...

but it is a mystical living force that
can bring life back to their dead Realm.

But what good is that to you?

It will buy my freedom
from this blue hell.

And since I'll be risking my
life to do this for you...

I assume you'll buy
my freedom, too.

And here I thought you were
helping because you cared...

to stay alive.

Now go.

On my way.

Why have you brought me
to this terrible place?

Is this why I'm here? So
that you can stare at me?

One of my greatest joys.

- Really? Have you seen enough?
- Not yet.

There's a portrait of me
in my mother's old room.

Why don't you go and
enjoy yourself with it?

I wish to leave.

Even for you, this is tedious.

Such impatience, Kitana. Is there
somewhere else you'd rather be?

- What are you planning?
- Nothing.

My plans died years ago.

- With your father.
- And my mother.

She took her own life.

She thought it better
than submission to you.

Yet you accepted.

- You remain my daughter.
- Daughter.

- Not lover.
- Obedient, I hope.

Always, Emperor.

It's a wise choice, Kitana.

So many have suffered
by opposing me.

You are a great warrior
on the battlefield.

And ever alert on the throne.

Rebels, plotters, spies.
All have failed.

- Is this my lesson for today?
- For your life.

Stay loyal, Kitana...

and live forever as a princess.

Or defy you and die.

It would be a great waste.

Where were you? I was worried.

With the Emperor.

Does he suspect?

Of course. But I must go.

How are we getting
to Earth Realm?

My father taught me
the secret years ago.

We must first travel
to a neutral Realm.

The gatekeeper in Zitara knows
me, he'll open a portal.

You can still stay.

No. I'm going with you, Kitana.

But you dread this journey. I can see it.
Strange in you, who's so fearless.

Whatever happens, I'll
stay at your side.

- You are a true friend.
- Yes, but you are right...

- I am frightened.
- It is impossible not to be.

I was saving that money
to buy some new clothes.

I'm surprised she didn't steal
the ones we're wearing.

I must be slipping. Buying
that "let's be pals" act.

I should've spotted
her as a pro.

At least Mei Lyn was a thief.
She could've been an assassin.

I swear I will never
trust another woman.

Rayden said finding anyone to
trust is going to be a challenge.

Finding Mei Lyn isn't.

I'm going to turn this town upside-down
to find that smiling little crook.

I'll help you.

The Earth Realm.

Kitana, you do know where
the Essence is, don't you?

It is best not to question when
the answers will get you killed.

I may already be dead just for coming.
I deserve to know what I'm dying for.

At least tell me who
this Daahraan is.

An Edenian warrior,
loyal to his Realm.

- At last.
- Daahraan.

We must talk.

Alone.

Are you sure, Kitana?

You've come for the Essence.
Edenia is ready to rise again.

No. Shao Kahn has learned that the
Essence was brought to the Earth Realm.

He'll send his
warriors to find it.

- It must be moved at once.
- That is why we have come.

No, Princess. Go to a man
in Zhu Zin named Kung Lao.

He's the only one you can trust.

Kung Lao. The last
victor of Mortal Kombat.

The same.

- I don't understand.
- You will.

Let me tell you where
I've hidden the Essence.

If Kung Lao refuses to help...?

You'll persuade him.

Shao Kahn knows he must
destroy the Essence.

And if he succeeds, he may not have a
reason to keep his step-daughter alive.

I know. You're in danger, too.

Promise me you'll leave from
here as soon as we've gone.

My destiny is fulfilled. There's
no reason for me to stay. Go now.

Maybe this Kung Lao can be trusted,
but what about the other two?

We'll deal with them.

The risks are too great.

The longer we stay here, the more
the chances are the Emperor...

There's no turning
back for me now, Qali.

- For either of us.
- Then let's finish what we've begun.

Nice night. Out robbing people? Or
did you get enough from us today?

Hold her tight while I search
her pockets for our money.

She doesn't have any pockets.
Hey...

might be better if you
hold her and I search.

You get the next thief.

In luck it'll be some
toothless, fat guy.

She's been a busy girl. Shall
we give ourselves a bonus?

We'll give the rest to the poor.

At least the Barron
had good taste.

Another move and I
tighten the noose.

I'm no servant.
What do you want?

- Where is the one called Kung Lao?
- He's not here.

Wait a minute, I
think I hear him.

You're finished.

Qali, no.

I've searched all the
rooms, he's not here.

We're not here to hurt you.

Yeah, right.

This should put a
smile on Taja's face.

- Let me go!
- Taja!

- Let me go!
- Release her.

- Are you all right?
- I'll live.

- Did they do this to you?
- Just me.

- Who are you?
- If you're Kung Lao, we need your help.

- What, kicking me around some more?
- What's this all about?

I'm Kitana and this is Qali, my friend.
She misinterpreted our intent.

Oh, gee, maybe it was
noose around the neck.

You said you came here for my help.
Explain.

Not in front of them. I can only tell you.
We must leave at once.

Kung Lao's not going
anywhere with you.

If you need my help, you'll
explain here and now.

Daahraan said I can
trust only you.

- I know him. Well.
- Who is he?

A reclusive warrior and a
friend of The Order of Light.

He helped me in my training.

Taught me moves I thought
were impossible.

But who says this guy really sent her?
I say she's lying.

- How dare you speak that way...
- Qali.

- Please. Will you come?
- There's an easy way to settle this.

Go and ask Daahraan.

No. He'll be gone by now.

Ah, isn't that convenient. She obviously
doesn't want you anywhere near the guy.

He's probably never
even heard of her.

Either we check out your story with
Daahraan or find someone else to help you.

Then we must leave this minute
and be there at first light.

- I'm ready.
- No. Kung Lao.

You can't do this, Kung Lao.
I've seen one of them fight.

- Two could be deadly.
- Qali will stay here with your friends.

In peace.

Let's go.

Come on. Let's show our guest
what great hosts we are.

Your room's right this way.

Over there.

Who did this to you?

Outworld... woman.

The Emperor's step daughter...
Kitana.

He's dead.

Someone was here after us.

Did you hear me? He's dead.

I heard you. The Emperor's
warriors must've followed me here.

I was afraid that would happen.
I warned him to leave.

Shao Kahn's step-daughter.
You didn't mention that.

Would you have come
if you had known it?

I would have killed you on the
spot instead of waiting until now.

Kitana will die for this.

Take it easy. Siro's right outside.
Here.

Something to eat.

Little hungry, aren't we?

These are delicacies.
Bread and melon.

Come on. You don't have
those where you come from?

Once in abundance, but no more.

Outworld is dark arid wasteland.

Right. Any other
delicacies I can get you?

Perhaps you can send me
the big strong Siro or...

- is he yours?
- Mine?

Your lover.

Or is it the other one,
the famous Kung Lao?

- Or maybe it's both.
- I don't have to listen to this.

Earth Realm mortals.
So easily offended.

- I don't believe any of that "Outworld" crap.
- Oh, it's real. Very real.

- As is the Emperor Shao Kahn.
- Yeah?

Well, I'll believe
it when I see it.

Pray you never do.

Pray you never know
those horrors.

Where is the Essence?

You were right, he
couldn't be broken.

I tortured him until
he was half-dead...

but the fool wouldn't
tell me anything.

Then why have you returned? You
should be following the Princess.

While I was trying to convince the
old man to talk, she came back.

Guess who she was with?

Your old friend Kung Lao.

Kung Lao?

The old man sent her to him.
But wait, it gets better.

Kung Lao thinks Kitana killed
Daahraan, so now he's hunting her.

I thought you'd like that part.

Kung Lao has no idea the kind of
warrior he faces with Princess Kitana.

- Is she good enough to kill him?
- Kitana possesses unique powers.

- Her age alone gives her an advantage.
- But she's his age.

Kitana is nearly 10,000 years old.
I have got to get her skin cream.

She's Edenian. They live many millennia, but
they are still mortal and can be killed.

You are wasting time. Get back and
follow Kitana to the Essence.

Are you coming?

I'll take that as a no.

I've looked everywhere. She's gone.
Probably straight back to her friend.

I can't believe how
stupid we are.

Hey, we did the right thing.
We locked her in.

We should've tied her up and
thrown her down a well.

We have to tell Kung Lao.

How? We have no idea
where they took him.

Rayden. We have to call Rayden.

What, you got something better?

Look, maybe he is a God and if so,
he should know how to find Kung Lao.

I can't believe I'm saying this.

So how do we reach him?

Well, Gods are all-knowing. Let's...
let's assume they're all-hearing, too.

Rayden.

Rayden, we need you.

Now!

Damn it, Rayden, show yourself.

You really didn't think
that would work, did you?

No.

Kung Lao's on his own.

Rayden?

Rayden, are you out there?

Rayden?

On your knees, Kung Lao, or the
next one will be in your heart.

If I were an assassin, the first
fan would've taken off your head.

You'll wish you had killed me.

Perhaps.

I'll give you a chance.

- But first hear what I have to say.
- Start talking.

I am Princess Kitana...

the true daughter of King Jarrod,
the rightful ruler of Edenia.

But it is also true that I am the
step-daughter of Shao Kahn...

and I had no choice
in that fate.

Your real father...

Executed by the Emperor
that conquered our Realm.

When Shao Kahn's forces invaded,
my father knew we were finished.

He gave me a pouch containing the remaining
Essence of our once beautiful Realm.

He told me I must take the Essence
away for it would wither and die...

as nothing of beauty could
survive in the Outworld.

He sent me to Earth Realm where he knew the
Essence would nourish and thrive there.

- And you gave it to Daahraan.
- Yes.

A loyal warrior who stayed behind to hide
the Essence and guard it with his life.

Until today, even I didn't
know where it was hidden.

The secret cost him his life.

And I regret his death
as much as you do.

So many have died.

It was while I was away trying to
save the Essence of my home...

that Shao Kahn
murdered my father.

Later, my mother
took her own life.

Where is the Essence
now, Kitana?

Daahraan said it's
hidden in a garden...

not far away from
the Temple ruins.

What I don't understand
is why you came to me?

Shao Kahn's assassins
are obviously here.

I can't risk leading
them to the Essence.

They will continue to follow
me like they did Daahraan.

Let them come...

while you move the
Essence of Edenia.

Where will you go?

To get Qali. We must go back to Outworld.
Will you do this for me?

Will you hide the Essence and
carry the secret to your grave?

As Daahraan did?

He knew what I'd be asking of you.
He believed in you.

I will do it for you.

Thank you.

- He should've been back by now.
- No kidding.

Why did we let him go with her?
I knew it was all lies.

- I am an Edenian Princess. I do not lie.
- Where's Kung Lao?

- What did you do to him?
- Nothing. Where's Qali?

- You know damn well she left.
- Qali's gone?

- Cut the act. Where'd you send her?
- Nowhere.

Well, she left soon
after you did.

There is no time. I
have to warn Kung Lao.

You mean we. Come on, Siro.

You. Kitana went
back to get you.

I... I followed you. I
came to protect you.

You came here to steal. For who?
Did Shao Kahn send you?

Yes. But I am loyal to Kitana.

Shao Kahn destroyed Edenia and he'll
do the same to us if we disobey him.

Kitana's weakness is
she is a dreamer.

Edenia is finished and I'm tired
of people dying for a lost cause.

Right. So you kill
for the Emperor?

- Daahraan? I did not kill him.
- She's right.

I did.

Who are you?

Her name is Vorpax. She's
imprisoned with Shang Tsung.

Who sends his best.

You'll never get it.

Then I'll take it.

No, Shang Tsung, I won't let you take
it and you know you can't fight me.

Not until the next Mortal
Kombat Tournament.

The brave warrior, hiding behind
the rules of the Elder Gods.

Kitana... allied with the Emperor's
mortal enemy. How interesting.

Remember who you're speaking to, Sorcerer.
I am a princess.

Indeed. Which makes
you a royal traitor.

If Shao Kahn learns that you've
left your cobalt prison...

you'll pay with
your life, Shang.

The Emperor will give
me his thanks...

and my freedom when I present
him with the Essence of Edenia.

The Essence!

Wait for me, you son of a...

You. You led Shang
to the Essence.

No. I know nothing
of Shang Tsung.

Shao Kahn sent me under
threat of torture.

Enough lies. You attacked me.

Yes. And I would've destroyed the Essence.
To protect you, Kitana.

But I failed.

When Shang hands the Essence to
Shao Kahn, we are both dead.

Go back to Outworld and tell the Emperor
that the Essence no longer exists.

- Shang destroyed it.
- But how?

It doesn't matter.
Go now. Leave.

- The key to unlock my prison.
- And mine. Open it.

Let's see what it looks like.

Maggots? The Essence is maggots?

Shouldn't you be thinking about the
Emperor instead of punishing me?

The Emperor will know nothing of this.
Do you hear me?

Very clearly. I will say nothing.
But what of Kitana?

She knows I cannot tell
of her treachery...

without revealing that
I escaped this hell.

Stalemate.

Do you believe her?

Lying or not, she can't tell the
Emperor what happened here.

It would be her death sentence.
And one thing I am sure of...

Qali values her life
above all else.

- Edenia is forever lost.
- Or... about to flourish again.

Before Shang burned the
vine, I took this.

You saved it.

When you told me the Essence
was a seed Daahraan planted...

I realised it must
be the strange vine.

The Essence is in the pollen,
it can be planted again.

- The soul of a realm in a simple flower.
- There is nothing simple about it.

Where have you been? We've
been worried sick about you.

Hey, Taja even tried
calling Rayden.

- Really? Did he show up?
- No.

Some God. He didn't even
hear me screaming for him.

I'm not so sure...

I gotta get some rest.

Wait, wait, wait. What happened?

A lot. I'll tell you later.

Wait. At least tell us
what happened to Kitana?

She's gone...

The instincts of
a great warrior.

I thought you'd gone back.

- It's done. The essence is safe.
- I know, I came to thank you, Kung Lao.

I may have lost an old friend today.
But I made a new one.

Will I see you again?

It's difficult. He's
always watching me.

She is a remarkable woman.

You know Kitana?

Oh, yes, of course. Many years.

- As she sat at the side of Shao Kahn.
- Somehow planning to save Edenia.

It was a beautiful place once.
Rich, vibrant.

Much like Earth Realm.

- Will it ever be again?
- Even I don't know that.

You're right.

She is a remarkable woman.

I went from wanting her dead to
believing in her cause completely.

As if there was some
kind of bond between us.

There is.

I think I understand.

She doesn't want to see what
happened to Edenia happen here.

You're both warriors, Kung Lao.

You saved your Realm. Kitana
was unable to save hers.

Shang Tsung plots
for his freedom.

Others too work against you.

You are surrounded by
treachery, Emperor.

There is nothing new in this.

No. But I am loyal to you. An ally like me.
Someone to trust.

It's true I've spent years in these mines,
only waiting for you to call on me.

Whatever others may
do, I serve only you.

And I'm willing to
serve you more.

- A survivor.
- Ask anything of me, Emperor.

You can use me for any
number of things.

Let me show you my loyalty.

- You can be useful.
- Yes. But more. So much more.

Perhaps you could be useful but
it does not please me now. Go.

Very, very useful.
