All language subtitles for The Scythian (2018) Eng

On the edge of an ancient land,
across rolling hills and rocky cliffs,

along the shores of two seas
lay the principality of Taklamakan.

It was the time when the mighty
Scythians succumbed to the ravages of history.

When the last of their people disappeared,

along with their ancient gods and many heroes.

It was the time for new
battles and the glory of heroes,

those brave at heart and strong in spirit.

And now the time had come for new legends.

Last year, I drank some excellent wine

and it was here in this tavern.

The swill that we make is far from excellent,

but we sure are famous for it.

So what's your name?

You can call me anything,

as long as you're a paying customer.

And where's Kudim?

Who?

The owner of this tavern.

He was murdered.

Why is that?

He watered down the wine and cheated customers,

and then he got caught fornicating

with a woman who was the wife of a local merchant.

Are you sure she wasn't your wife?

Watch yourself.

Let's roast this duck to take with us?

Hey, master?

No wait!

Your turn.

Bring me a sack.

Were they the ones who maimed you?

No, it wasn't.

Some other Polynesians attacked me

on my way to Aniakchak.

And I was supposed to go instead of you.

Then, Tatiana would've been mine.

You think life with her is sweet?

If only I'd known how stubborn she was

and I will say you wouldn't have lasted,
not even a week.

We're honored to see you and your son,

Lord Oleg, at the border to welcome us.

Lord Vladimir is offering me to take Overnight.

I see he's giving his neighbor

what he couldn't manage himself,
but I am not offended.

I will take it.

Was he too busy to pay me a visit?

Then you, noblemen, are my guests.

Today they're his guests, tomorrow subjects,

if it's one thing I know,

Oleg wants Kiev for himself.

Get cover, we're under attack.

That's him.

You should've captured him.

Yes but he killed himself.

I was too late, Lord.

But you saved my life.

It's my duty, my Lord.

Hey Master, Tutor!

My master, it's your wife, she's giving birth!

It's a future warrior!

Go to her, Tutor.

No, no, Master, you can't go in!

Not yet, you have to wait here!

No sir, you have to wait here.

No please.

Be patient now, be patient.

Your lady will deliver very soon.

Every new life begins with suffering.

Since when are you so wise?

When my wife was giving birth

to our sixth child I got
drunk so I would suffer less

and it worked.

Everything will be fine.

So, a son?

Wouldn't you love your daughter?

Oh no, I wouldn't.

How dare she be born before my son?

Give me.

Look here, you do have a son, Master.

Lord Oleg is here!

He's here!

Lord Oleg's here!

He's arrived.

So, you have a son now?

Yes, my Lord.

Will you name me the godfather

or do you have another choice?

Are you joking?

I would never have dared to ask.

Let's see him, let's see him.

Tatiana!

Oh.

Look at you.

Look at that, he looks just like you.

In a year's time,
I want a grandson just like him.

Tutor, now this sword is yours

until your son is old enough to hold it.

It's an honor, Lord.

You have earned it, Tutor.

Show us your swordsmanship.

This sword is beyond praise, Lord.

Are you any good in real battle?

Want to test my bravery, Polynesian?

Are you scared?

I don't want to contaminate
this soil with all your blood.

No swords. But instead, you can wrestle.

Don't hurt the Khan's son too much.

They're my allies nowadays.

enough!

When a blow is threatened, it's seldom given.

Open the gate!

Very good fight.

I know, but there could be a problem.

Well.

Yes, my Lord.

That was very good fighting,
but you may have an enemy.

No, we'll be fine.

The Polynesian was asking for it.

That may be true.

Well, I'm going.

Won't you stay for the celebration, my Lord?

I'd be happy to,
but I have my princely duties to fulfill.

Prov!

Safe travel, my Lord.

Give me.

Feed the musicians and heat up some water

so I can wash the Polynesian snot off.

To your health, boys. Oh yeah.

What is this?

Look at that, huh?

Easy there, my warrior.

Save your caresses for later.

Is it stitched?

You're good as new.

I'll seal it with a spell.

No, wait.

Tutor!

Tutor!

Hurry, we're going now.

In to war!

Hey over here. They're over here.

Come on. Come quickly over here.

This way. Get him.

The bastard's alive.

I've got him. Can anybody help?

Please over here!

What are we going to do with him?

Over here, please!

What's going on?

Can anyone hear me?

Lock him up!

Somebody help.

Does anyone know what happened?

What has just happened?

Pass them to me. Oh yes.

Over here. It's so good.

Yes. Oh.

That's part of me. Pass them down here.

What?

Tutor, my friend, I feel your pain.

We'll find them,
I swear that we'll make them all pay.

Invite you? Quick,

quick pour me some more.

Ah, who cares, pour me another drink.

Get me out of here.

Very good, very good. Cheers.

I just heard about what happened.

What are you going to do?

What do they want?

Ransom or something else?

What do they want?

My wife and son...

...in exchange for your life.

That is a high price.

And what did you choose?

My duty to you, Lord.

Thank you.

Hold on to the poison for now.

Here's to my right-hand man Tutor!

Cheers. Ah.

Hey!

It was him, he poisoned me!

Poison, he has the poison!

My husband's going to track you down!

We were told not to touch you

but I wouldn't refuse if you got the desire.

Get over there.

So where is Marten?

He was killed by Tutor.

Truly convenient, seeing as Marten

was going to challenge you as the leader.

I was chosen by Ares as the strongest of the Wolves.

I will lead the pack!

Ares will decide that.

Huh?

But why, Lord?

I've been faithful to you.

Yes, I know you've been.

But I want my enemies to think

that you were the one who poisoned me, Tutor.

And I recognized the poison,
it's powdered hemlock.

A person who takes it suffers for seven days

before they end up dying.

So now you have seven days
to get your wife and son back,

and also to find the man who wanted me to die.

Thank you, I will do it Lord.

Don't thank me just yet.

Now you'll escape,

and then I will announce a reward for your head.

It's the only way, otherwise the enemies

will not believe that you poisoned me, will they?

Spare the executioner.

I still need his services.

Forgive me, my Lord, for not sparing his life.

Prov, Prov!

Prov, come here man.

Master?

Be quiet.

Where's the captive?

He's in the shed.

I think he's a Wolf of Peru,

they're a gang of hired assassins.

Bring me my sword and armor, and clothes,

and water for washing, and quickly!

No wait.

Do you want to live, Wolf?

Yes I do, forgive me for God's sake,
I've done you wrong.

Evil people took me in

and lured me into doing bad deeds for some gold.

I really only-

Shut your mouth.

Help me get my family back and I'll free you.

I'll help you, I swear to God, I'll get them.

I know you don't believe in my God,

but you will take our oath.

You'll swear it at a shrine,

before the idol of your god. Well?

I agree.

Tell me, where is your master?

I don't know where he is now.

I haven't seen him since he
left for the Lord's palace.

So where are you taking me now?

Is this an ancient temple?

A secret shrine?

Here's your god Peru.

Swear an oath before the idol.

Peru, god of lightning,

I pledge before you to help

this Tutor get his wife and his son back.

And alive And well.

And alive and well.

But his oath has no value.

He does not pray to the gods.

Who are you, show yourself!

He prays to a different god.

He is from an ancient tribe
that has lost its greatness.

The last of them make a
living by shedding the blood,

isn't that true, Wolf of Ares?

You are a Wolf.

Tell us, isn't that the truth?

That is true, and at home I do honor Ares,

but I have respected your god.

Tell me who are you?

He's Peru's Guardian, untie me.

His people swear their oaths on a sword

that has been washed in human blood.

Why believe you?

Believe because I am the
keeper of ancient knowledge.

He's blind.

Oh, but is it you?

You are the one...

who is blind!

Are you seeking death, Guardian?

Oh, but it is you who found it.

Kill him!

Calm down, he's dead.

Untie me?

Your people swear oaths on a sword washed in blood.

Give your word.

I give my word.

It's good to have your trust,
I won't disappoint you.

Marten.

What?

I said to call me Marten.

Why didn't you strangle me, Marten?

Because I honor Ares

and I wouldn't disgrace him before the god, Peru.

So I will keep my word.

I wonder what it's like to have only one wife.

Don't you get bored?

One is enough for God's servants.

Let me baptize you.

No, a faith that prohibits
concubines just isn't for me.

Also, how can a single god rule over all?

I mean all the mountains, and the forests,

and the thunderstorms?

For you, it's about women, not thunderstorms.

I don't think that you have
a chance of going to heaven,

mark my word.

Tutor?

Maybe I am, but I don't remember your face.

My name's Tory an, a merchant.

We met once before.

I heard some stories about you.

What kind of stories?

About your strength and bravery.

And? Anything else?

Lord Oleg's searching for you.

There's a big reward,
a nice price for your head.

But I will not hand you over.

Your father said a word
for me before the Lord once,

but I can't be sold or bought, either.

And not even for gold.

Though, for so much gold,
a father would sell his own son.

Could Tory an spare two horses?

I don't have many, but I will give you two.

So you stay for the night,
have some food, some rest.

I'll give you the horses tomorrow.

They need to rest well, too.

Tired horses won't take you too far.

That's true, the horses are very tired.

But don't tell anyone

I didn't hand you in for the reward.

People will think Aryan's gone mad

and won't do business with me any more.

Well, now my dear guests, enjoy our food.

Come on, eat.

Savage! You animal!

Why did you kill them?

They just sheltered us.

The merchant's still alive.

Tutor, please spare my life.

He was going to send a messenger to the Lord,

and he was going collect the reward.

In the name of God, please don't kill me.

What's your god's name?

Is it Bondage, Peru or maybe Horus?

I'm begging you in the name of Jesus.

The devil tempted me to be a greedy man.

The devil tempted him, then they sheltered us.

I think you aren't so good Tutor,
at judging people.

And so Oratory's honor cannot
be bought or sold, can it?

Yeah?

Harder, harder.

Harder.

You will be given to the man

who's the one who paid us to kidnap you.

Who is he?

You'll find out when he comes to get you.

It will be you alone, without the child

and as for your little son,

he will either be sacrificed

or else trained to become a Wolf.

Our young boys start eating off a knife

as soon as they're weaned.

The training is very tough.

Only one out of ten becomes a Wolf.

And starts killing people for gold?

Hm, we Wolves do not kill, but instead we hunt.

For otherwise, my people would perish.

Well then I will pray for
my son to avoid such a fate.

Then pray, but in our land,
your god is powerless.

You're not human, you're an animal.

Yeah, I am an animal.

But when I'm not the hunter, I'm being hunted.

Now, we're both being hunted.

What?

Go on, go, go now.

After them. After them, go, go.

Come on. Go, go, go.

Get them. Get them.

This way.

Hurry, hurry. Go, go, go.

Here, over here. Go on faster.

Come on. Faster.

Come on. Get him.

Get down. Get him.

There, get him.

Come on. He's dead.

Get after him.

Come on!

Let's get down the hill!

Come on, get up, get up.

They'll follow our tracks and find us.

So, we'll give them a fight.

This could be suicide.

We're outnumbered.

And they're warriors,
not peasants with pitchforks.

Warriors or peasants, I really don't care.

I can't escape with an injured leg.

Hey Marten?

Marten?

He left me to die.

Hey over here.

One has disappeared,
but we're still on their track.

I need three of you, come with me!

We'll head him off at the pass.

And we meet again.

Prepare to taste the blade of my sword.

Your death will be slow.

I'll chop you up and then feed you to the animals

and when all that's left is your head,

I will find your wife and
you'll watch me tear her up.

Your bastard will be my slave and my eunuch.

He'll live with the clogs
and he'll scrub my boots

while I drink wine out of
your skull at the Lord's table.

Way too many words.

Now shut your trap and fight.

That was a good fight, I think.

Bandage your leg and drink lots of water.

I'll go and fill the canteen up.

Water will be scarce from now on.

Tutor, don't drink the -

Don't take anything from the living!

That water was no good.

Who the hell are they?

They're Forest People, they worship Velez.

They're giving us to Bender, that one.

It looks like no one can beat him.

Why no one?

No a crowd with some spears
or another Bender could.

Could both of us beat him?

Not a chance, but we could try.

Uh-huh.

Well, we can't just give up.

Tutor, well, it was nice knowing you.

What is that on him, huh?

We do not take servants of their god,
god, as sacrifices.

He'll be our slave.

Now all praise to Velez!

Throw the other one!

Down!

Go on.

That's a good knife!

Ares!

Tutor?

Why aren't you happy, Tutor?

We escaped death,
so you should be rejoicing now!

I should be happy...

because I killed innocent people in a frenzy?

No, because a gift was revealed in you!

You can transform into a bear in battle.

This gift isn't from God, but from the Devil.

I committed a sin that'll never be forgiven.

I hate to tell you,

but with that gift, you'll commit many more sins.

No, I won't, I won't.

Once a bear has awoken in you,

you can't stop or expel him.

Oh I can, and I will.

The bear is only awakened if
the warrior drinks the potion,

and I will never drink it again.

I hear you, but if the gift is strong in you,

the bear awakes without drinking the potion

and if the gift is powerful
you can tame the beast,

but your spirit has to be strong.

But God is merciful, merciful!

He won't let me shed any more innocent blood.

Tutor, that god of yours is weak.

Ares is strong

and he has an appreciation for bloodshed.

What about your blood,

that is spilled by one of your
own with a treacherous blow?

Now come on.

We're almost there.

Now I need to blindfold you.

Do all outsiders get blindfolded

when they come to visit?

No some don't even get blindfolded,

instead they get sacrificed to Ares.

That's enough!

Didn't you say that Marten was killed?

What do you say, Ear?

I'll tell you!

Tutor.

Don't be afraid, everything's fine, I promise.

Oh great one,

we honor your greatness through the seasons, always.

Now Ares, hear my words.

I challenge Ear, leader of the pack.

Now make your ruling!

The challenge has been made.

I accept the challenge of this Wolf,

now make your ruling.

Challenge has been accepted.

Antofagasta, I fulfilled the agreement,

now release my wife and my son!

What agreement is that?

The lives of my wife and son for the Lord's.

I poisoned him.

Is that true?

We didn't have an agreement with you.

The agreement was with the man

who paid us to kidnap her.

What is this?

What about the letter and the poison?

What letter is this?

We don't know how to write.

And who paid you to kidnap my wife?

Name?

I'm afraid his name must be kept a secret,

according to our agreement.

As for your fate,

it will be decided after Ares has ruled.

Tutor.

You swore an oath.

Don't worry, I will kill Ear.

I'm stronger than he is,

don't doubt me,

I will keep my oath.

What will happen to you?

Ares decides who will lead.

No one will challenge me, I'm stronger than them.

The pack must have a leader.

Antofagasta will forgive me, he will punish me,

but he will leave me alive

and as for Ares, I know he'll forgive too.

I swore an oath.

What happens when Ear kills you?

Then it will be bad, Tutor.

You'll be sacrificed

and your son will be raised by a Wolf.

Your wife will be given to
the one who paid the gold.

Don't worry, I will kill Ear.

I know, I'm stronger.

Hold on, it's not the gods' thing, it's people.

Oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh

Years ago, Ear killed my father

and became the pack leader.

And from this day onward,
the Wolves will follow me.

Is that your ruling, Ares?

I am the leader!

Ares made his ruling.

Is there anybody who wishes
to challenge the new leader?

Does anybody wish to challenge the leader?

I will challenge him.

There's no way he can challenge me.

He's an outsider.

Behold!

Ares gave us a sign.

The challenge is made.

I accept the challenge.

Where is my family?

Your family has become the pack's catch.

They have been paid for in gold.

I killed the old leader and I am the new one,

so that would mean the catch is mine too.

You are our leader now, alright then.

The leader gets the first bite.

Follow me.

So, from now on, the pack is your family.

I'm not going to live with the pack.

There's nothing honorable

in killing innocent people, Antofagasta.

But we don't expect you to kill.

What Do You expect of me then?

You're a warrior.

Even when the beast awakes in you,
human nature prevails.

But we are different.

We're assassins by trade.

Don't you want to live in peace?

There's no one to protect us,

so that way the last of us will perish.

If you stay here, you'll perish.

Of course, I know that.

Give me my family back,
Antofagasta, we don't belong here.

But you can't go back, remember?

You are the Lord's enemy.

What if I'm not?

The man who paid you to kidnap my family

is the Lord's enemy.

The Lord is alive and well.

He's just pretending to be ill.

He trusts me, I'm his right-hand man.

If I can find out who wants him dead

he will trust me even more.

I will say a word for you.

He will take you under his protection,

if you agree to be loyal to him.

I just need to know who the enemy is.

I think we can help with that.

Oh, finally!

I'm so tired of lying on this deathbed.

My Lord, I have done as you wished.

Now let's see just who wants my death, let's see.

Did someone make you do this?

Blucher, Kiev's envoy said

I'd rule under Kiev's protection.

Forgive me, Father, don't kill me!

Hm, and how could I?

You're my only son.

Lord is dead.

All hail now to the new Lord of Taklamakan!

May he rule wisely under the
guidance of the Lord of Kiev!

Don't celebrate my death yet, Blucher.

You made a wise decision

in taking the last Scythians under your protection.

They'll serve you faithfully.

Well, where are they now?

See, they trust your word, Lord.

What is happening, what is happening?

No!

Help!

Take cover. Help.

No, help!

Run.

No, no.

This is terrible.

Tell me why, Lord?

In my land there will be only one people, mine,

and one power, that's mine.

I have been loyal to you my whole life.

We had an agreement, you gave me your word.

My subjects do not make agreements with me.

They only make pleas and serve me well.

So serve me well.

I am not your servant.

Who are you then?

The last warrior.

Goodbye, Lord.

We've wanted to hunt down
those bandits for a while

and now finally it's done.

Tutor killed my son.

He has gone to get his wife and son.

So he is yours, if you like.

Come, we're riding now.

Riding now.

Yeah!

Let's go. Here we go.
