MALE NARRATOR: Name is John Carter.

U.S. Special Forces Intel.

Long range reconnaissance op.

Why am I telling you this? I don't know.

Maybe it's not important.

But someone wiser than me once told me

you can tell a lot about a man by what he does.

I run a single-man operation, deep in country.

Territories so remote that even the sight of a lone jarhead

is considered more of a novelty than a threat.

My missions are classified,

as I'm sure my story would be.

Except no one would believe it.

New folks?

- Many people pass through this area.

- It's not shearing season,

and the poppies haven't harvested yet.

- You've been here for too long.

- I'll drink to that.

I used to know your father...

He used to stand up to these kinds of people.

- My father died because of YOUR people.

You Americans, Russians,

everyone wants a piece of what we have here.

But with too many hands reaching into the barrel.

Soon you see there's nothing left to take out.

There is nothing left here for you.

- That's a very nice speech.

But you truly believe that your wife and son

will be safer, once I'm gone?

- Maybe not my wife. - That's funny.

- She likes you. You should take her with you.

- She's too heavy. I can't carry that much.

- I'll give you a cart.

I don't know who they are.

They have a camp outside of town. Many trucks.

They seem to have a lot of money.

But no one's getting any of it.

Except the prostitutes.

- Then your wife is doing pretty good.

Hey...

Let him go.

- What is so funny?

- The look on your face

when I blow up all your opium in those trucks.

- How do you know this is opium?

- You're right. Why don't we find out?

- The American doesn't joke.

- Look...I let go of this

and you can say "goodbye" to everything.

Let him go.

- Thank you, John Carter.

I owe you one.

- You said you wouldn't hurt them!

- Lower the gun. You don't want to do this.

Lower the gun.

Just trust me. Don't want to do this.

Don't.

D-don't! Don't.

Just lower the gun.

Lower it... please.

That's it.

- Get out of the way, little sheep.

- Ahhh...

- I shall shoot both of you!

- Don't!

Don't do it.

Listen to what I was saying...

you don't want to do this.

You don't want to take part in this, okay.

You just want to get out of here.

Go on and live your life.

Get out of here. Go.

That's it.

Get outta here.

- I'm not authorizing this

unless I have your full assurance

this procedure will not have adverse effects.

- We've had a 100% success rate so far.

Surgeons tell me most in your condition

don't even regain consciousness.

You're probably wondering what your prognosis is.

You're not expected to make it through the night.

All of your major systems are failing.

But that's okay, because we have this.

The entire data to reconstruct you, atom by atom,

lives on this 16 gigabyte flash memory stick.

Now, you don't have to answer this now,

because you already signed the papers.

We don't need your permission.

We just wanted to let you know,

if you were concerned this procedure isn't working...

Don't worry.

We've tested it out previously on a human subject.

And from all signs, that test was a success.

- Teleportation. - That's right.

You are the perfect candidate for this operation.

It was funny the other day, when you said "Mars".

Quite prescient, really.

We ARE sending you to Mars.

Not the Mars that you think.

This is Mars 216.

a small planet in the orbit Alpha Centauri.

The fourth planet out from its sun.

Our scans show an exceeding possibility

that this planet could hold life.

We certainly believe it has an atmosphere.

We haven't been able to penetrate to its surface,

but you'll do that for us.

Do you have any questions?

- I don't think he can speak.

- He's trying to tell us something.

- I think he's ready to go.

- Is he one of your kind?

- No. I believe he's an assassin.

Or else, why would he have gotten onto your ship?

We should finish him.

- But he is unarmed.

- It does not take weapons to kill, my Princess.

Avert your eyes. - No!

Leave him.

He can do us no harm now.

- You're making a big mistake, my Princess.

- Then I shall suffer the consequences.

The decision is made.

- Very well, my Princess.

0 Did you just call me YOUR Princess?

- A thousand pardons. I meant "Your Highness".

- Well, I am grateful for all you have done.

Only one man shall ever call me HIS Princess.

- And that man will be blessed.

- Time will tell.

- This is either a really good sign,

or a really, really bad one.

- Uhm...heh...well,

I'm really sorry about what happened to your egg.

It seemed to me like you guys

were having such a good time and laughing...

Maybe we can, uh, smash some more together.

Okay...okay. Forget about that.

I'm from a planet called "Earth".

Well, actually, from Virginia, really.

My name is "John Carter".

- Okay.

Okay.

You can actually let go.

Hey! I get the idea.

Same to you, buddy.

What do you want me to do?

You want me to, to jump?

Bunch of idiots.

You want me to jump.

Okay, you can loosen this up.

Give me some slack.

You want a jump? Okay.

How 'bout some lunch?

Enough.

You want me to jump again, I'm not gonna jump.

Come on.

Just do it.

Hey, look...

I'm hungry. Food, I need to eat some food.

You know, food?

Okay...how 'bout some water?

Drinking...water? Liquids.

Great...that's it.

Good. Thank you.

You guys are a riot.

Shouldn't you be in school?

- Ruh.

- Food?

Food, yeah... I, I'll eat. I'm hungry.

It's very kind of you.

Thank you for, uh, your hospitality.

It didn't come from your body, did it?

Forget it...I had to ask.

I'll try it.

Doesn't smell so bad...

I'll give it a shot.

Okay.

Mmm...it's not so bad.

I was expecting worse.

Not bad at all.

Yeah, I'll take some more.

Ah!

What is that?

No, no, no, no...

I'm not eating that no matter what!

I don't know what that is, and I'm not eating it!

No...no thank you. I'm full.

Those are bugs, insects. You see, we don't eat that.

I'm not gonna eat it, no matter what.

You're not gonna eat that, are you?

Yeah...I'm glad you liked 'em. They're good, right?

Yes. I don't. I don't eat bugs for dessert.

Thank you.

Ahhhh.

Ugh....

Okay! Alright!

You have to work on your hospitality.

Hospitality...

Why am I sounding like this?

- Now that we have your attention,

allow me to introduce myself again.

I am Tars Tarkas. This is Sola.

- I'm John Carter.

There was something in that bug, right?

- Yes. The jubilee beetle allows all to communicate.

- Interesting... they taste like crap.

- Crap? - Never mind.

I have a lot of questions for you.

- And I for you.

- Thank you.

Am I free to go?

- You have earned your position amongst us.

As our tradition,

you are offered the things of the warrior you defeated

on the first day.

You may have his quarters and his retinue of slaves.

- Well, I'm not in need of any slaves.

Maybe some of his possessions.

Did he have something I could possibly use?

- He did have a lot of debts.

- Oh.

Well, I should have killed that big, fat guy.

- Tal Hajus! Do not speak of him with those tones.

- Well, pardon me.

I know he's your Supreme Leader...

but when the shit hit the fan,

he was the first one to split town.

- You see many things, John Carter.

- Yeah, I like to fight with people that wanna stick around.

- Time may come when things like that are settled.

We have a saying here on Barsoom.

"The slowest road to a destination

is often the most rewarding."

- You would love golf.

- Golf?

EVERYONE TO THEIR STATION!

- What's going on?

- This does not concern you!

Under no circumstances interfere.

I cannot promise that we won't confuse you

for the enemy--hah!

TARS TARKAS: Fire! Fire!

RETURN FIRE... FIRE AT WILL!

FIRE!

FIRE!

RETURN FIRE!

COME ON!

Man the hooks!

Ready...heave!

Heave!

You missed it! It's getting away!

Bring in the thoats!

We can't let them get away!

Bring all of the survivors to me!

- Stay away from us. - I'm not here to hurt you.

- You attacked this ship before.

- I've never been here.

- Then you are a mad man!

- You've seen me on this ship?

- I have.

- Please tell me what happened.

- Sab Than said you were here to kill the Princess.

- No, I'm not here to kill anyone.

- I'll make you a deal. Help us!

Those Tharks will desecrate our bodies.

If they find us, they will do horrible things!

Please, there's not much time. You must help us!

Take us away from here--

I will tell you what you want to know!

Our bodies cannot fall to them!

No! Take her first, please!

Ugh...thank you.

When I die, please bury us together.

- Here...take some water.

Can you tell me who that woman was?

- She's Dejah Thoris, Princess of Helium.

They must not capture her!

You also must promise one other thing:

if you find her, you must not let her marry Sab Than.

- Who's that?

- He did this to us.

Do you know who I am?

- No.

- I am Kantos Kan,

Master Engineer of the Royal Pumping Station.

We were en route to change out the crewww!

- Okay, alright.

Take it easy. Take it easy!

- Remember this: "Day by day, night by night.

we keep the air clean and bright."

Day by day, night by night.

we keep the air clean and bright.

Day by day, night by niiight,

I keep the air clean... and bright!

- Can you tell me what happened on that ship,

when I was there?

- The Princess... Uh...ugh...

- Damn.

- Hey, wait a second.

That's not the way to treat a rescuer now.

- I doubt those are your motives,

and I'm in no need of rescue.

- Look, I don't know if you noticed,

but there's a hundred of those guys

coming to get you, so we have to go.

- What do you want of me?

- I'll explain later,

but we have to get out of here.

- Why were you on my ship?

- Your ship?

I was there to help Kantos Kan.

- You've seen Kantos Kan?

- Yeah, I spoke to him.

- You're lying.

- Look, I'll explain later. Are you coming with me or not?

- STAY BACK!

How can I trust you?

- I'm the only friend you've got.

I promise you,

I'm not going to give you up

to a bunch of blood-thirsty Tharks.

You will thank me later.

- THE PRISONER'S MINE!

- ON BEHALF OF ALL THARKS,

FOR PERFORMING BRAVELY IN BATTLE,

AND FOR CAPTURING ONE SO IMPORTANT--

THE PRINCESS OF MARS--

WE AWARD YOU THIS FIGHTING HARNESS.

YOU ARE NOW JEDAK AMONG THARK.

- Let me explain. It's not what you think.

I'm still on your side.

- That was her pee bucket!

- I should be honored. She's the Princess.

Good thing you haven't been feeding her much.

Let me ask you something.

When the Princess gets to, uh, Tal Hajus,

what's gonna happen to her?

- People of Helium have inflicted many wounds

on the Tharks...

Tal Hajus will reflect on this.

One might think that the Princess

could be a bargaining chip,

a way to advance the cause of the Tharks

on this planet.

But Tal Hajus does not think like this.

He will most likely sentence her to death,

but not before torturing her horribly.

It is his way.

- How did Tal Hajus become Supreme Being?

- Like all of us,

Tal Hajus earned his rank through battle.

He fought his way to his position,

killing all those before him.

Uh, he moved up as you are...and I.

Do you think you can abscond with her,

and that cage?

- Surely someone must have the key.

I thought so.

- You're not gonna throw anything at me, are you?

- I forgive you.

- You do?

- I see now that you're with these savages

because you're too ashamed

of yourself to live amongst men.

I've heard of ones like you.

You don't feel that you deserve to live in society,

don't feel that you deserve anything good.

So you just lurk around the edges,

never really accomplishing anything in life,

never even having a family.

- Excuse me?

- I forgive you.

- You see these people, these Tharks?

As bad as they seem, they have honor.

How can there be honor

in holding someone in a cage?

- You got a point there.

But they're telling me

your people are trying to eliminate them.

- Not true.

Not all of my people resist them.

Certain factions wish to have them contained.

- Okay...that's kind of savage.

- Mars is a delicate balance.

My people, we run the air pumping stations,

without which all would perish.

They don't respect that.

They raid our villages...

We supply the air that keeps all alive.

"We keep the air clean and bright."

- How do you know that?

- We must leave now.

The Spiderlings are approaching!

- You HAVE to let the Princess go.

- That is up not to me.

We must leave now. COME ON!

It is bad to be caught out in the open.

We must move!

- I'm not going until you let the Princess go.

- Ohhh, I cannot my friend.

It would be too much temptation for you.

I will give you this:

if I am killed by the Spiderlings,

you can have the key!

- You'll be okay.

- Maybe they won't be able to see us.

- They hunt from vibrations. They don't have eyes.

- Give me one of your rifles.

- Ach.

- Duck!

- Huh, thanks. - Don't mention it.

- This can't be good. - Looks like a scout.

GUARD TO BACK!

- Shit.

Help!

HELP ME!

- Give me the keys!

- There you go, my Princess.

How much longer till we get to Tal Hajus?

- Maybe a day.

- You know, I was thinking

that's not such a good idea, you know.

After we were attacked by the Spiderling,

one could possibly imagine that we... got separated...

that the Princess... was lost.

- But that is not what happened.

- One could possibly imagine...

- Then I would be derelict in my duties.

- There's times where dereliction is one's duty.

You guys have a lot to learn on this planet.

TARS TARKAS: Thanks.

Next time, better warn me.

You're lucky one of my men didn't shoot you.

- You're lucky I didn't miss.

- We have a long ride ahead of us.

I will make you a deal.

If you promise not to run away

with Mr. Carter here,

I will allow you to remain out of the cage.

- And why would I run off with him?

- We Tharks may be "different",

but we are not unperceptive.

Your kind...

so simple in their behavior, but...

You don't even know what motivates you.

- I'm certainly not motivated

to be anywhere near him.

- Like a leaf floating down the stream,

you are unaware of the current that runs beneath,

plotting your course.

You, the leaf,

think you control your motion. Ha.

- My only motivation is to return to my people,

forget this experience, and all of you.

- That will be for Tal Hajus to decide!

Let us go!

- Is that our destination?

- No.

That is a structure of her kind's making.

- What is it.

- They say it cleans the air for us.

It is used to control us,

making us believe that, without them,

we could not survive.

- So you don't even think it works?

- They say that one man can operate it. Ha.

We have a saying:

"To plow the field takes more than one thoat."

How can one man run a machine

that filters the air of an entire planet?

It cannot be true.

- The Royal Station.

We have to go there.

Kantos Kan and his wife should be there now.

Please, we MUST go.

- I know nothing of them.

- What happens if they didn't make it?

- Our mission was to deliver

a replacement crew to the station.

Kantos Kan and his wife.

- So, it is true.

Two people could run a big machine like that?

- They don't have to run it.

It operates without humans.

A Royal Pumping Station official

is appointed for life.

Their job is to monitor the machine,

make necessary maintenance,

and if there's trouble, start the backup system.

They are a fail safe.

The job of maintaining

the Royal Planetary Pump Station

is the most important job on this planet.

If something were to happen to the machine,

and no one was there to start the pump...

our planet would die.

- Well I think this calls for a detour.

What do you say we go

and investigate the pumping station.

At least to see if Kantos Kan made it there.

- Uhh...we will not deviate.

The Princess may believe her words are truthful,

but they are lies.

It comes down to me from my elders,

that pumping station does not work!

Look at it! Breath the air! Do...

Do you really believe in your heart

that the air you breath comes from that machine?

We stay the course.

We are here to see Tal Hajus.

We have with us the Princess of Mars.

Oh, Great Leader...

- What is this you've interrupted my day with?

- I have brought you the Princess of...

- So it is the Princess of Mars.

You are as ugly as I have been told.

I cannot see how your kind worships you.

But don't worry.

When I am done with you, I will make you pretty.

- Your Royalness...

- The grasshopper speaks.

Jumping bean, I barely noticed you.

- The Princess, as ugly as she may be,

was intercepted.

We intercepted the Princess

on the way to do business,

which may affect all of us.

- What could that be?

- The Princess was en route

to the Royal Pumping Machine.

- For years, her kind

has used the pretense of the Royal Pumping Station

to keep my kind in check,

to subjugate us, keep us here in this wasteland,

while they hoard in the fertile grounds

to the north.

They keep us in fear,

and yet with her delivered to us,

we now have an opportunity for our answers.

- Answers to what?

- The air you breath, is it not still fresh?

She never delivered her cargo to the station,

did she not?

Therefore, as we all suspected,

it is a sham.

- The machine can operate

without the hand of man or Thark.

It is but a precaution we keep it occupied.

If something were to happen,

we are the only ones who can fix it.

- I'm sure such speeches sway the masses at home,

but not here.

Your words reek of lies.

- Your Royalness, I think you're being too harsh

on the Princess.

- Who are you to tell me what I can do?

- I am John Carter of Mars...

Jedak of the Tharks,

Captain of the Arms.

- A jedak, grasshopper?

Who could have bestowed such a position upon you,

a human?

- It was I, your Highness.

John Carter showed great nobility and courage.

He fought bravely in the Spiderling attack.

- I see before me three abominations.

One: Dejah Thoris, Princess of Lies.

Two: John Carter,

made jedak against Thark rule.

And three: Tars Tarkas,

loyal warrior who broke from Thark tradition.

No one but I can confer

the position of a jedak upon another,

especially a human.

Tars Tarkas, you have served me well.

For this offense,

I will relieve you of your command.

Remove yourself from my throne at once.

I will find a place for you amongst my servants!

John Carter, as told, you are a great fighter.

I will allow you to use your gifts

in the fight pits tonight.

Dejah Thoris,

horrible Princess,

your fate I will savor.

For all those years that you subjugated

my people for so long with your malicious lies,

I will see to it that no words

will ever be issued from your lips,

lips that I will not waste, I might add.

Let my will be done!

- Ugh!

- Uh, this doesn't look too good.

- I have a task for you,

but first, prepare the animals to ride.

- I've seen you before, on the Princess' ship.

If I'm lucky enough to meet you in the arena,

I'm gonna kill you.

- Not if I kill you first.

- Sarka!

- I am so happy to see you, my friend.

- What are you doing here?

You Americans are so easy to bribe.

I think I was dying.

I told them where I kept everything,

all my profits.

If only they could keep me alive.

Then the spook agent came in--

NSA, CIA. I gave them everything.

Oh, they even promised me amnesty,

if I was successful.

Then I came here.

- What were you doing with the Princess?

- It was fate. We were destined to be together.

- We were both on the ship together,

when I was teleported.

- Bingo!

- You told them I was an assassin, didn't you?

- You're a soldier, a killer.

- I'm gonna have fun killing you.

- You are lucky once.

It won't happen again, John Carter.

- You're dead.

Here we go again.

What is wrong with you Tharks?

Don't you guys have reality TV?

That's how it's going down, huh?

- Shit!

I'm not gonna fight him!

- WE HAVE TO FIGHT!

- I'm not gonna fight you!

- I want you to know that you were honorable.

I was glad to have you as part of my squad!

If we don't fight, they'll kill us both!

- Since I beat you,

then I'll be Commander. Right?

- If I WERE Commander!

When you defeat a Thark in battle...

- If you were to defeat Tal Hajus,

then you'd be Commander, right?

- If I could defeat him, yes, uh, uh.

- You just don't quit, do you?

- A Thark may never concede a fight!

- Have it your way then.

- Come with me!

- What about John Carter? Tars Tarkas?

- I have my orders.

We must leave. There's no time.

Your absence will be discovered.

- It's my lucky night.

- We will have to finish this

at another event, John Carter.

- Why's that?

- I have someone else I need to meet.

She is a bit more important.

- Oh, I'm sure she'll be pleased,

knowing you're coming

after you slaughtered Kantos Kan.

- Have you learned nothing?

If you have a super power...

You should keep it hidden!

- It's time to end this.

- I challenge you for leadership of the tribe.

Do you accept the challenge?

- Only I could issue such a command.

- DO YOU ACCEPT THE CHALLENGE?!

- DIE!

- You are unfit to command.

WHO AMONGST THOSE WITNESS TO THIS

DENIES MY RIGHT TO COMMAND?

JOHN CARTER: Where's the Princess?

SOLA: She went with Sab Than to the pumping station.

They took off in the flyer.

- Do you have another flyer?

I'll meet you there!

- What happened to Kantos Kan and his wife?

- I'm afraid the Tharks got them.

- But how did you survive?

- It wasn't easy. I was captured, just like you.

- But the flyer... How did you manage to get it?

- The Tharks had it. They shot it down, like yours.

- And you were a prisoner of Tal Hajus?

- Yes.

- Did you see John Carter?

- I did.

- Is he alive?

- No. He died in the arena.

If it is any consolation, he helped me escape.

He told me it was a great honor

to have served you in your journey.

If he survived, he would have liked

to have been your servant.

- He said that?

- A rough translation.

- That's funny. I thought he hated me.

- No...furthest from the truth.

He felt about you the same way I do.

- Like what?

- I love you.

- My heart can only go to one person.

- And I want to be that person.

- But it has already gone out.

- To who?

- It does not matter. He's dead now.

I have no more heart to give.

- It can't be.

- We can talk about this later.

Right now, we have to find the current keeper

of the station.

Assess the situation.

Hello?

Is anyone there?

HELLO!

- Good day. - Atol Nard?

- Princess...

- Is everything okay in there?

- This is highly unusual.

- Let us in. - Who are you?

- He's with me.

- Princess... thank you.

Your Highness.

- Please. We're here to assess the station.

- Everything is in fine working order, Princess.

No parts need replacement.

Everything is as it was 700 years ago

when I began.

Is this man my replacement?

- No. I'm sorry. He can't work.

- So this is it. This is the heart of it.

- Yes, this is all of it. Hydrogen fusion.

- You know what this is?

- I wouldn't touch that!

- But do you know what this is?

- Something you shouldn't be touching.

- If you know what this is,

I don't think you'll come closer to me.

- What do you want?

- I want an answer...

from her.

I want you to be mine.

Will you be with me?

- I cannot.

My heart belongs to another.

- Ah! - NOOO!

- You're an idiot. They have a backup.

- I know they do.

I just needed to know where it is.

JOHN CARTER: I can see you.

Sarka!

Not there either.

Sarkaaa...

SARKA!

Heh.

HYAH!

You're insane.

- By my calculations...

it will take only four hours for the atmosphere

to leach off this planet.

That is four hours longer than you will be alive.

- You always sucked at math, Sarka.

You're a shitty opium dealer,

a shitty tea seller, and now,

you're a shitty destroyer of the worlds.

Come on!

I can't believe you're doing this...

over a girl.

It's not really you.

The Sarka I know is motivated by money,

and power.

You might be losing it.

- You're right. The girl means nothing to me.

She is immaterial.

With you out of the way-- let's say dead--

I shall restart this pumping station.

But only after the people of this planet

make me their Supreme Ruler and bring me tribute.

With this impenetrable station as my base,

I shall have the best bargaining chip ever.

The air supply. Ha-ha, it is better than drugs.

- That's if you can activate the machine.

- It is a simple mechanism.

Maybe not for these primitives...

They will give me whatever I want,

just to keep from asphyxiating.

- You're forgetting one, small thing.

- And what is that?

- I'm gonna kill you.

Ruhhh....HEEEAVE!

HEAVE! COME ON! PUSH!

Ruhhh...push!

You can do it!

Heave....uh.

- I was with Kantos Kan when he died.

He was saying... something...

"Day by day...

night, night by night..."

- I know... - You do?

Uh, okay.

Is that it?

Is that the controller?

- That's it.

- Okay.

Come on.

Is it working?

Try harder. Come on, it's not working.

That's it. Go on.

That's it.

Keep going.

Faster, faster, faster!

You did it!

You did it.

JOHN CARTER: I never told them anything.

For them, the experiment was a failure.

They didn't expect me to survive,

but I guess I was tougher than they thought.

If they knew the truth, it would be over.

Humans would overrun the Savage Planet.

One fighting man from Earth is enough for Barsoom.

They sent me back to active duty,

so now I wait, biding my time

for the day when I shall return to the Red Planet and...
