[voice echoing]: Baylin...

[clattering, echoing]

Baylin... Baylin...

Baylin... Baylin...

[ethereal voice echoing]:
Baylin.

Baylin?
[gasps]

[yelps]

You were drooling
on my frelinghoffer.

[panting]

It is unwise
to startle someone
skilled at combat.

Well, look...

I just want everything
to be perfect for when dr.
Peterson arrives.

It's not every day
you get to interview
for a prestigious grant.

It's about time
the world recognized
hans zarkov

As a bona-fide genius.
Uh, yes, well,

Nobody's bandied
the word "genius" about
quite yet,

Although they would
if they knew
about these...

You got the second
rift blaster working?

Oh, buddy!
You are so
getting this grant!

Look at that.

[zarkov]:
Well, the equipment
I could get with proper funding.

I could build
a zettahertz
spectrum analyzer,

Increase
the sentinel's capacity

To detect
vibrational
anomalies,

Might even get
a new toaster oven.

Oh, hey, cowboy,
don't go crazy.

First things first.
We have to conceal

Anything that has to do
with my work

On dimensional rifts.

When we're finished
in here,

There won't be
any evidence

That mongo even exists.

Uh...

Since these rifts
are a secret,

What'll you talk about
during this interview?

That I'm researching

The general study
of dimensional resonance.

I just have to avoid
telling him anything
about things like

Rankol's rift generator

Or the access points
in the dimensional veil,
or three moons over mongo...

He'd think I was crazy,
and I don't want to go
down that road again.

No! What if I can't
think of a thing to say

That's not exactly
what I shouldn't say?

[panicky breathing]
zarkov, calm down.

The most important thing
about this interview

Is that you sound
credible and...

And, yeah, hey--
try not to do this, okay?

All right?

We'll just, uh...

Hide the sentinel
and we'll all be set.

Maybe we should think about

Hiding the alien
with the big shiny knife.

Uh, baylin, you, uh...

You going somewhere?

To mongo.

[stuffing bag]
why?

I have been summoned
by the voices of the dead.

Did she just say--
yeah. Um...

Do you talk
to these dead people often?

I do not speak to the dead.

They speak to me.

Oh, well, as long
as you only listen,

There's nothing odd
about that.

For three days,

The voices have called.

They wish me
to return immediately.

Can't you
just ignore them?

I know when
I hear voices,
I generally...

Never mind.

Baylin,
this is a little
out of the blue.

Not to mention
implausible.

It is honor day--
when all on mongo

Remember those lost
in the great sorrow.

I must join
the verden delegation
at the caves of sorrow.

[rankol]: Greetings
on this joyous honor day.

I would like to remind
our visiting verden friends

That if they have not yet
reported for enrollment,

They may do so
after the ceremony.

[chamber doors sliding open]

Rankol.

Are you going to the
ceremony like that?

You really
should find yourself
something else to wear.

[giggling]

I am a man of few needs.
Oh, indeed.

The verden enrollment
is proceeding as planned,

But we are meeting
with some resistance.

Ah, they are
a stubborn lot.

I don't care what it takes.

I want them rounded up
and brought to justice.

If barin will not
pay for his crimes,

Then his people
will do it for him.

But on honor day?

Surely their punishment
can wait until new moon?

Punishment?

No, rankol.

This is not a punishment.

It's a gift.

The gift of justice.

What better way
to honor this sacred day?

The enrollment
will continue.

I thought I told you
no mistakes?

I'm so sorry, father.

I will not
let it happen again.

[screaming]

[woman sobbing]

So, this honor day
is a pretty big deal
on mongo?

Our most important
and solemn day.

I only made the journey once.

My family was chosen to be
among the delegation

When I was a child.

[zarkov]:
Let's not forget,

Please, that my interview
is later today, here.

So, exactly how far
are these caves?

Because you've got enough
packed there for a week.

These are not for me.

They are tributes
to the guardians of the spirits.

Guardians?

Verden men
who keep constant vigil
outside the caves.

To let the spirits know
they have not been forgotten.

So you're
bringing them
pastries?

Such delicacies
will show much appreciation
to the spirits.

[flash]: In that case,
we're coming with you.

"the wrath will be unyielding!

"the planet will be destroyed--

"by firestorms, by quakes,

"by clouds of death!

"the vengeance will be...

Profound!"

A little over the top,
don't you think?

The tale of the sorrow
is a tragic one, aura.

You know, your own rehearsal

Could use a little bit
more intensity, hmm?

Go on.

"and they turned their eyes
from the omens."

I've recited these lines
a hundred times,

Like any child
schooled on mongo.

Why do I even have to
be part of the ceremony?

Because people find
comfort in tradition.

It is why I wear
the customary cloak

Of the pre-sorrow
dignitaries.

I'm expected to preside,
you beside me.

Can't you appoint me
something more
important to do?

Aura.

You underestimate
the relevance of
this ritual.

Commemorating
the great sorrow

Also acknowledges gratitude

For the current circumstances
of our beautiful planet.

A translation--
gratitude to you.

Gratitude
encourages
obedience.

Something you could
exercise more.

His criticism was unfounded.

You dare speak to me?

Forgive me.

I could not
stay silent

When beauty
had been so maligned.

You presume to know beauty?

In your case,
it cannot be denied,

Even by a fool
such as I.

And are you a fool?
[chuckles]

Of the first order.

I am a mere player, blessed

To help you tell
the tale of the sorrow.

Well, I cannot permit you
to participate in this ritual.

If I have offended you...

My father already
thinks I don't care.

I cannot afford

To be distracted
by your dazzling smile.

Your father
underestimates
his people,

But it shocks me
to see that he would
do the same to you.

My father loves his people.

[chuckling]
your father loves
many things more.

I should take my leave
before your eyes

Intoxicate me any further.

Until the convergence
of the moons.

And our two souls.

More hands can
carry more tribute.

The guardians
will be pleased.

Yeah, that's great.

I just don't know why
we had to bring

Everything in
zarkov's cabinets.

I left
the peculiar undergarments.

So honor day
commemorates the sorrow,

But what is that, exactly?

Mongo was once
a great society.

There was abundance,
prosperity...

But it relied on a power source
called xyrilium.

Xyrilium?

A mineral mined on the moon.

Which moon?

The largest.

The two smaller moons
are constructs.

What, man-made?
Are you serious?

They were built
to process the xyrilium.

But, then an accident
on mongo

Released its poisons
into the air,

And the planet
became uninhabitable.

Millions perished.

[clattering
in light breeze]

Memory charms.

The denzins hang them
to let the wandering spirits

Know they are not forgotten.

We are near.

When the moons converge,
the verden delegation

Will perform
the remembrance
ceremony

In honor of
our ancestors.

Guardians!

They're dead.

To spill the blood
of a guardian

On our sacred day...

The resting place...

The seal
has been broken.

Baylin, don't!

[♪]

Wait...

Are those...

Victims of the sorrow.

I don't mean
to be squeamish,
but...

The resting place
has been desecrated.

[crossbow fires]

[gasping]

Oh!

Baylin!

Oh!

Please! Please!

Not in the sacred caves.

Take me outside to kill me.

Do not harm him.

He is just
a frightened guardian.

Look at his clothes.

Sorry.

There's gotta be something here
we can use as a bandage.

This looks bad.

A moderate wound.

I am fortunate.

His aim is poor.

Please,
forgive my assault.

I thought you were
the marauders returning.

How is it you
managed to survive?

I was hanging memory charms.

When I returned,
I saw the thieves

Hurrying off
with their satchels full.

Perhaps they were trying

To avoid getting caught
by the verden delegation.

Why? What's in here
worth killing for?

Show them.

Yes.

All of these victims,
they're buried with
valuables?

To pay for their passage
into the spirit world.

Vodka? You brought
the guardians vodka?

I thought it was water
in a decorative glass vessel.

What is vodka?

Two thirds of a martini,

Or a really good
antiseptic.
Yeah.

This will
have to do.

Okay.

I'm just going to try
to ease this out.

[scoffs with disgust]

[gasping]

Or we could just do that.

[choir singing]

[♪]

Welcome.

Ah, senator.

Please enjoy your gift
from the benevolent father.

Smile, aura.

Welcome.

Lovely
to see you again.

Welcome.

Now, that is the smile
the people love to see.

You're proud

Of admiring someone
so far below your station?

Welcome.
[gently clearing throat]

Rankol?
My deepest regrets.

One moment.

Welcome. Enjoy your gifts...

Proton gun... Check.

Imex... Check.

Uh, rift blasters...
Got the--

Yoo-hoo!
Ah.

Oh! Ha ha. Hi.

I knocked, but I guess
you didn't hear me.

Yes. Um, no, I didn't.
I was just, uh...

I mean, no.

I was just...

Debra peterson?

From graduate school.
Do you remember?

So you're dr. Peterson
from...

From the marshall foundation.

[chuckling]

It's good to see you
again, hans.

Or do you prefer dr. Zarkov?

Uh, no. Hans.

Please. Hans.

When I saw your name

On the grant
application,

I was curious.
I mean...

Your white paper
on extrapolating

The diopters
of dimensional resonance
was... Was first-rate.

It really was.
Thank you.

I think my initial research
only scratches the surface.

With proper funding--
the sky's the limit.

Yes. The s... Sky?
Why would I go to the sky?

I keep my feet
firmly on the ground.

Oh, it's an expression.

Right.
[chuckles awkwardly]

So, um...

Maybe I should
have a look around.

Okay, sure. Um...

My lab is your... Lab.

Nothing to hide here.

That should hold
until we get you
to a doctor.

I cannot travel.

I must wait
for the verden

And join them
in speaking the rites.

Are you sure
you didn't get

Your cosmic
messages crossed?

Because there aren't
any verden here.

We laid
the guardians to rest.

You should go.

Tend to your wounds.

Someone is coming.

It must be
the verden.

Perhaps...
Perhaps not.

My weapon.

I'm guessing
by the size
and smell...

Not the verden
delegation?

Ah, what good fortune.

We return
to gather more riches,

And are given the gift
of three fine slaves.

What are, uh...

Our chances of talking
our way out of this?

If your tongue
was a broadsword.

So, I guess
the only chance we have

Is the element of, uh...

Surprise!

You thought
you were having a bad day.

Oh!

Halt!
Or his blood will flow.

A verden would not kill
within these walls.

Yeah.

But I'm not a verden.

I think I just found my weapon.

[chuckling]

Rundle...

Well done.

Let me guess--
not a guardian?

I can't believe
they're forcing us
to do this.

Just try and look busy.

They won't kill us...
If we're useful.

I could look busy
for a long time.

Mm.

This feast is more savory

Than the verden tribute
we'd hoped for.

I do not understand why
the spirits would bring us
to this circumstance.

If they're behind this,

Your ancestors are really
starting to piss me off.

A verden who consorts
with marauders

Is more vile
than a deviate
henja beast.

You should have gone.

I tried to warn you.

The spirits will deliver
a more excruciating punishment
than I could ever inflict.

Ah! More water.

[sniffing]

Hey, if you don't want that,
I can take that off your hands.

[grunting]

Hey, hey!
Come on, just one sip.

Ooh! Ohh...

That tastes like kilum,
from a sap still.

What do you call the tree
this flows from?

Vodka tree.

Ah...

Getting them drunk?

Hey, any advantage
we can get.

Your lab is sparse,
but practical.

Oh! What's under here?

Oh, that's just, uh,
a big-screen tv...

We, uh... Uh...
Have a look over here.

[gasping]

Oh, hans! It's a...

It's a fractal...

Isoscope, yes.

I maintain

That empirical evidence
s-s-should always dictate

The real scientist's

Next course of action.

I always thought
that you were some crazy,

Idealistic,
radical scientist.

In fact, I even
found you to be

More than
a little intimidating.

Me?
Oh...

The verden insurgents
are still refusing

To report for enrollment.

Implement my plan.

Commence the attack
on the verden.

Well, that was then,
this is now.

Uh... Nothing

Crazy or radical
going on here.

Which does bring up,
ahem, one question.

You were once institutionalized?

Oh.

You know about that.

We vet all of our applicants.

So, how would you describe
your stability now?

My stability?

Well, if my stability
is what you're concerned about,

Then I'm--

Oh!

This has...

[stammering]

This has... Just, uh...

I'm a hawkman.

Cackaw-cackaw!

It's just a costume.
For Halloween.

[echoing over sound system]:
Greetings...

Denzins, canton delegates,
and special visitors.

Let us be grateful

For our benevolent father.

[applause]

Let us think of our ancestors

As we welcome
the convergence of the moons.

[♪]

The moons have aligned.

The verden have not come.
I do not understand.

So any help
with a rescue is gone?

I guess it's up to us, then.

Indeed.

What are you doing, verden?

Preparing for
the honor ceremony.

I think not.

[stones scattering]

[grunts]
I still have one good arm.

Do you wish to have
only one good foot?

Your foolishness is amusing.

But amuse me
too much,

And I'll cut you down
like I did the guardians.

Okay, okay, whoa. Easy.
Hey, hey!

[unsheathing sword]
come on...

It's all fun and games
until someone loses an eye.

Uh, if she said
the rites,

It would harm no one.

And...

Perhaps it would
appease the spirits.

If I was a spirit,

I could use some appeasing
about now.

Come on,
she's no good to us

With only one arm
anyway.

Amuse me, verden.

[chuckling]

It began in a time

Of prosperity
and amusement.

Mongo was blue

And green.

The ground fertile,

The water plentiful.

Mongo was generous
to the people.

But the people
were ungrateful.

They wanted more
than the land could provide,

And when it could
give no more,

They turned their eyes
to the sky,

For the moon was vast...

And had ample gifts to give.

The moon had abundant gifts.

And soon it came to pass

That two brother moons
were placed in the sky,

And they were called
arkaylia and surd.

And they were built
to shelter the travelers

Who came to plunder
the moon's gifts.

And when
they returned to mongo,

With the moon's...

[ming]: ...Bounty,

They rejoiced,

For it was a glowing red ore.

And they thought
that it was good.

But soon there were portents
of a coming disaster.

Hot winds and crimson dust.

For the red ore
was not of this soil.

But all eyes
turned away from the omens...

For the moon's bounty
had brought new prosperity

And new amusement.

They turned their eyes
from the omens.

And, then...

In a great explosion
of thunder,

A ball of fury ignited the sky!

The ground quaked
and the children cried.

For they were afraid.

Dark clouds of death
engulfed the cities.

Burning rain
seared their skin,

And the children cried,

"what have you done?"

Crops turned to ash!

Beasts fell where they stood.

The water turned gray.

And the children cried--

Why has this
come to pass?

[baylin]: Because we chose
prosperity and amusement,

And we took more

Than the land could give,

And we were ungrateful.

Extinction was upon the land.

So a congregation was chosen
to go to the sky.

[ming]: An exodus
to the moon arkaylia

For three generations.

One one-hundredths...

...Of one one-hundredths
of the people.

All who remained on mongo
soon perished.

[baylin]: One day, they saw
fire clouds vanish.

The time had come
for the grand return.

And they returned.

The planet had changed.

The new world was hostile.

They were grateful
for what they'd been given.

And, in return,

Mongo gave them
a well of bubbling sourcewater.

And once again,
there was hope.

[ming]: A declaration was made
to honor the lost ancestors.

A promise of peace

And harmony

We will not reap
more than we sow.

We will not take
more than the land can offer.

Our want for comfort
and amusement

Will not lead us astray.

When we see an omen...

We will not turn away.

And we will be grateful
for what we are given.

[applause]

We light
the fire of remembrance

As a promise...

...To live in accordance
with this covenant.

I promise.

I promise.

I pr...

[inhales deeply]: I...

She's still breathing.

She's burning up.

Don't waste good water.

The wound reopened.
No wonder she's feverish.

I need bandages.

A wounded bird
will bring no coin
on the labor market.

Let her die.

This wounded bird
is wanted by ming.

There's a price
on her head.

And I'm going to
get her bounty,

But her head has
to be alive for that.

[cloth ripping]

But she
is your friend.

Pretending
to be someone's friend

Is a good way to trick them,
isn't it?

You tend
to her wounds.

I'll collect the bounty.

You had to tell them.

[chuckling]

[indistinct conversation]

You missed a cue.

Forgive me.

I was distracted
by your powerful performance.

Really?

And the beauty
of your face.

Really?

You have many dignitaries

Waiting to
congratulate you.

I don't think you should
make your father unhappy.

My father is always
unhappy with me.

And I want to leave
his boring party.

Where will you
celebrate honor day?

[laughing]

The steephouse.

Where you cannot follow.

Are you afraid
to take me with you?

Perhaps I shall order you.

The only thing more compelling

Than your beauty

Is your fire.

Are you afraid
of being burned?

I dream

Of throwing myself
on the flames.

I could have you killed
for saying such a thing.

I'd gladly die
for the chance.

Yet you would not remember me
more than a season.

How can you say
such a thing?

How many hearts

Have you crushed...

...Trying to reach
your father's?

Aura.

You neglect
your duties.

The son of
my chief architect

Requests
an introduction.

So, any psychological
aberrations

That may have
been present?

Gone.
All gone.

I promise.
Yep.

You see before you
a reasonable, stable scientist.

You won't
find anybody

More normal
than dr. Hans zarkov.

I want to give you
this grant, hans,

But I can't.

You used to be so quirky,

I was sure that you became
this eccentric genius,

Willing to challenge
conventional thinking.
I am.

We're looking for candidates
with bold ideas--

I can be bold.
...Willing to
think outside the box.

I'm totally out of the box.

But there's nothing wrong
with being,

As you said yourself,
just normal.

[stifles groan]

[sighing heavily]

It was good
to see you again, hans.

[grunts]
goodbye.

Wait!

I was just pretending
that I was inside the box!

I have no box!

I'm a b--
completely boxless
kind of guy.

In fact...

I should be locked up again!

[door opens, then closes]

[patrons laughing boisterously]

[breaking wind]

I, your malevolent--
er, um...

Benevolent father,

Have united the tribes
under one flaw--

Uh, law-- law.

[laughter]

I alone
was compassionate enough

To free you from the burden
of self-rule.

[laughter]

I have a plan,
children!

No matter how much water
I must hide...

[laughter]

...There will be
prosperity.

[cheering and applause]

No matter how many tribes
I must slaughter,

There will be peace.

[clapping and cheering]

[booing and laughing]
rrrrr...

Oh, father,
the verden have become
independent again.

May we crush them, father?
Please, father, please?

What a wonderful idea!

I'm so glad
I thought of it myself.

[laughter]

Take away their strength.

We have crushed
the verden leader.

And have they obeyed?

No.
Take away their hope.

[laughter]

We have crushed
the verden homeland.

And have they submitted?

No.

Then take away
their spirit.

I don't think

That's possible.

I don't mean to interrupt.

Please continue.

I will crush the verden

And anyone else
who dares defy me,

And I will take
great pleasure
in doing so.

Now I know why your people
call you

Ming the merciless.

They say it
because they love me.

[laughing]

Oh, I am always
so moved to see

An artist at work.

May I?

Mm.

[chuckling]

The, uh, the artistry...

And the craftsmanship.

[chuckling]

And you were very, um...

Very amusing.

I earned the name
ming the merciless

From the blood I spilled
in the banelands

And the lives I took
at arboria and trevoree.

Now I rule this planet.

I command mighty armies
with a word,

And, still,
I will dirty my own hands

To protect my people.

And the respect of honor day!

I told you
he was beneath you.

Now look what you've done.

I must finish.

You need to rest,

Or you won't be
able to finish.

You'll take care
of me next.

Hey! Get your hands off her!

He just wants to
have a little fun.

Release her!

Never romped
an omadrian before.

Few have!

Let go!

Let go of me, you pig!

What's a pig?

[screaming]

Defeated!
By an omadrian!

Come on, baylin.

Come on, dale!

Flash!

[dale screaming]

[rumbling and cracking]

Dale!

Dale!

She may not be conscious.

Ow!

[flash straining and grunting]

Look out, look out, look out.

Dale!

[punching]

[straining]

[rocks clattering]

Dale?

Come here, sweetie.

Come on out.

Dale, are you okay, hon?

I think so.

He sheltered me
in the cave-in.

Thank you.

How did you find me
at the steephouse?

Did you have
someone follow me?

Your own
poor judgment

Forced my hand.

You cannot
blame me for this.

You murdered him
in cold blood.

He disrespected me!

Disrespect
leads to discontent.

Discontent, to chaos.

I will protect
my people!

And I do that
by preventing dissent.

He sought only to please me.

Aura.

You cannot be so naive
as to believe

This rabble-rouser was
actually interested in you.

Yes, he was.

Why else would he risk
talking to me?

How better to disrespect me?

And by paying attention to him,
you disrespected me.

And for that,
he had to die.

No.

I killed him for you!

On honor day.

That is on my hands,
on my heart,

For the rest
of my days.

Yeah, it's really going to
keep you up at night.

And I will live in
accordance with
this covenant.

I promise.

I promise.

I promise.

I promise.

[♪]

It's a beautiful
ceremony, baylin.

Thank you for honoring
the spirits with me.

We really should
get someone

To look
at your arm.

Go.

I must keep vigil
in honor of the spirits.

I owe them penance.

If no verden delegation
was sent to the caves
on honor day,

Then they must be suffering

A great tragedy.

I cannot leave mongo now.

Then we'll stay with you.

You were right, baylin.

The spirit of the dead
did summon you.

Your people need your help.
