[ shrilling ]

Back four, move around.

[ shrilling ]

What is it? Zad's men Are nearby.

[ chattering ]

I'll say.

Aren't you boys worried, Being so far from home?

[ grunting and groaning ]

Argh!

Whoa!

[ whimpering ]

Let them go -- We must find my brother.

Come on.

Arina: Are you sure he's a goat?

Dar: According to the runes.

Tao said to look In the next valley.

Arina: The translation in the book Of eldar has been right.

If your brother Is a goat, ha,

We can't be sure Where he'll be.

Still the best Place to look.

[ growling ]

That just leaves Your mother.

Yeah.

Once we find your whole family, We can beat zad.

And also balcifer, The lord of darkness.

[ ruh growling ]

Dar, don't you think

Zad's knights gave up Awfully easily?

Uh...No.

Come on, let's get

Through the canyon before dark.

What are you worried about?

What if it's a trap?

It's not.

If we keep moving, we'll Reach the valley by sunrise.

Come on, let's go, Come on.

All right.

[ shrilling ]

Come on.

Dar, this doesn't feel right.

Kerik: Beastmaster!

Like I said, it's a trap.

I don't want To hurt you. I'll take My chances.

I've heard You're good. As good as I have to be.

Let's find out.

He wants to settle this Privately.

[ grunting ]

Whoa!

Ahhh!

[ grunting ]

[ shrieking ]

Arina!

in an age when nature and magic ruled the world...

...There is an extraordinary legend --

the story of a warrior

who communicates with animals,

who fights sorcery and the unnatural.

his name is dar,

last of his tribe.

he is also called beastmaster.

Two for the price of one -- Let's go.

[ twittering ]

[ growling ]

[ squeaking ]

Aren't you going to eat?

I'm not hungry.

Dar, you must eat.

We'll look for arina At first light.

[ squeaking ]

At least We can always count on podo.

[ chuckling ]

Do you want To talk?

Star.

Seagull.

Star.

Seagull.

What are you doing?

Don't blame yourself For arina.

I know you.

You did everything You could,

But it was chance.

It's like tossing this rock In the air.

It can land

Showing star Or showing seagull.

It's like this Every time you fight zad.

Fighting zad isn't a game.

No, it's not,

But every time you fight, There's a chance

You can win -- star -- Or you can lose -- seagull.

I should have listened To her.

Instead I led her into a trap And got her killed.

Maybe -- but if you hadn't Fought them on that ledge,

They would have found you Elsewhere.

Maybe that would have been Better.

Still, Every time you fight,

You can win Or you can lose.

I took the chance And she lost.

How many times Have you saved arina's life?

Uh...

I, I don't know.

I don't count.

How many times Has she saved mine?

Ha, ha -- I don't know.

Remember the first time You met?

Didn't you save her life?

That's what she told me.

Uh... That's not exactly true.

Uh, actually, she saved mine...

...But, Like everything arina did,

It wasn't exactly painless.

Ahhh!

Ugh!

Thank you for helping me -- You saved my--

Ugh!

That's what happened The first day we met.

That sounds like arina to me.

Of course, Later that day,

I had a chance To repay the favour.

[ panting ]

[ swooshing ]

Ugh! Gotcha!

[ choking ]

Is that how you want it?

Just the pain?

[ grunting ]

This way.

That's what I'm trying To tell you.

You can't blame yourself.

You do everything That you can.

[ twittering ]

[ growling ]

You even broke Into voden's prison compound

To save her From certain death

Against impossible odds.

She would have died That day, dar.

You saved her.

Ahh.

[ arina groaning ]

[ yelling ]

[ yelling ]

Tao: By sneaking into xinca,

You were facing Voden's entire army.

One man against Thousands of soldiers.

You didn't care What the odds were.

You took a chance...

And you won.

[ tao sighing ]

If you like long odds, Then voden is nothing

Compared to orpheo.

You stopped The lord of the underworld

From taking arina Back with him.

[ whooshing ]

[ yelling ]

[ yelling ]

[ panting ]

Arina: Orpheo,

Don't do this. Arina.

No, orpheo.

Our time is past.

As great as our love was,

It wasn't meant to be.

Fate deemed That it should end,

So it would never die.

[ whooshing ]

I will wait for you.

Orpheo doesn't have to wait Any longer.

[ sighing ]

[ chittering ]

Tao: Dar?

Arina is a warrior.

It's how she grew up.

She knew What she was doing.

I didn't.

She never did anything She didn't want to do.

[ twittering ]

She joined you freely, Always.

She knew there was a trap In the canyon,

But I was in such a hurry I just didn't listen to her.

You made a tactical decision.

I was wrong.

Oh, oh, I see.

So now you think You always have to be right.

I made A mistake.

Yes, you did.

Sometimes that happens.

Forgive yourself.

Star or seagull?

This isn't a game.

I walked into a trap.

This wasn't chance.

It's evil that's stalking The land -- we've seen it.

[ sighing ]

[ bellowing and bleating ]

[ rumbling ]

[ bellowing ]

[ crying ]

Floods, droughts, Crop failures,

Volcanoes -- It's all balcifer.

That's right.

He wants to bring the world To its knees

And eradicate Goodness and knowledge

And replace it With evil and ignorance.

That's What you want?

No.

I thought you Were quitting.

[ sighing ]

I am.

What?

I'm ready to quit.

You can't.

Tao, I can't do this anymore.

No one can do This for you.

Dar, we're so close.

We've already found Three family members.

We only need two more And then--

Then what?

Then we can beat him.

Do you know that For a fact?

Dartanus said It's your destiny.

He said I could fight balcifer.

He never said I could win.

Dar, you--

How many more people will have To die before this is over?

I've already lost everyone Dear to me, except you.

He took my family, He took my first love.

Kyra.

Help, help!

No!

[ screaming ]

[ shrieking ]

Kyra!

Dar, help me!

I can't hold on any longer!

Hold on, I'm coming!

Help!

Grab onto me When I tell you.

Ahh, dar.

No!

No!

No!

I'm sorry.

[ sighing ]

Balcifer's tough on you Because he's desperate.

He's afraid You can beat him.

The price is too high.

The more I fight, The more people suffer.

I don't want to do it anymore.

So you'll quit.

You don't understand.

The responsibility's too much For me.

What about all the people Who are counting on you?

Tell them They made a mistake.

Just like arina did... And kyra.

[ twittering ]

[ growling ]

There's truth In what you're saying.

I'm glad You agree.

I'll pack up And go.

I didn't say that.

You have the facts right.

You're wrong About what they mean.

You don't know What you're talking about.

You weren't there.

Kyra's dead.

No amount of thinking about it Will change this.

She's never coming back.

The same for the sulas.

They're not coming back either.

Ah, come on, Let's go.

What are their deaths Going to mean?

Dead is dead, and you can't Change that by talking about it.

Even if arina's Dead, too.

You can't bring them back.

You can make sure Their deaths mean something.

[ sighing ]

Right now I can't make sure Of anything.

Tao: Dar.

That's my point.

Because you're not sure Is no reason not to try.

[ squeaking ]

Unless you're afraid -- That I understand.

This would be A whole new thing for you.

I've never known you To back away from any fight,

No matter How bad things were.

Tao: Someone like you Could say fighting

Two people is nothing -- I've seen you fighting more.

[ neighing ]

Let him tire -- It'll be easier.

You don't move Like the others.

I've been watching you.

Let's see if you like Your own medicine.

Ahhh!

[ yelling ]

Beastmaster, you seem To enjoy beating terrons.

It's a good way To pass some time.

You never gave up before, No matter what.

Why now -- What's different?

Don't you get it?

When I went to xinca To save the elephants,

She was there to help.

[ yelling ]

[ trumpeting ]

Kill them all!

[ trumpeting ]

[ grunting ]

Come on, this way.

We must get To town.

The elephants first before The terrons take the city.

[ trumpeting ]

Ugh!

[ trumpeting ]

[ yelling ]

[ trumpeting ]

Thank you.

We fought side by side.

I could always count on her, But now she's gone.

You don't know for sure.

I scoured the river -- I know she's gone.

We'll look in the morning.

You haven't Always needed help.

I'm not talking About the terrons and the nords.

I've seen you battle demons.

[ laughing maniacally ]

[ laughing ]

[ grunting ]

[ yelling ]

[ yelling ]

[ yelling ]

You can go if you want to.

I can't stop you.

I know you're not leaving Because you're afraid.

Just one thing I don't understand.

If you weren't going To finish what you began,

Why bother Saving all those people?

Remember atticus?

The boy was raised By wolves.

When you found him, He couldn't even speak.

You reunited him with his mother And saved his life.

[ barking ]

[ wolves whimpering ]

Ehh!

[ snarling ]

[ men laughing ]

[ snarling ]

Go snarl as much as you like, Wolf boy.

It won't make Any difference.

[ yelling ]

Get away from him.

At least you're picking On someone your size.

Ohhh!

[ snarling and roaring ]

It's all right, It's all right.

I'm not going to hurt you.

Shhh!

It's all right -- I won't hurt you.

Will you show me?

Let me see.

[ moaning ]

A friend can fix this.

Don't be afraid.

Ahh!

Ugh! Ow.

[ yelling ]

Come on.

Tao: What is she saying?

She's telling him to go but Asking him not to forget her.

He won't forget her.

I'll make sure of that.

I'll never forget What you've done.

[ sighing ]

You take care of yourself.

Dar: She knows he's going Where he belongs.

Tao: Did he make the right choice?

Do we do The right thing

By returning The boy

To the world Of man?

Everyone has a place In the world.

Where he's going will Be very different,

But as long as he receives As much love there

As he did here, He'll be all right.

This was just one child.

He wasn't the only one You saved.

Remember the children you And ruh saved from the terrons?

[ growling ]

[ muffled conversation ]

Argh!

[ crying ]

[ ruh growling ]

You have some children inside.

Beastmaster.

They'd like To go home. That Won't happen.

You're a brave man With that tiger of yours,

But I hear you can't fight Without your animals.

You depend on them.

Don't always believe What you hear.

Ahh!

[ growling ]

Who'd like to go home?

All: Me!

Come on.

[ growling ]

Don't be frightened.

He won't hurt you -- He's a friend.

He'll show you How to get out of here,

Make sure you're safe -- Let's go.

Tao: What will happen To those children?

It needed to be done -- Isn't that enough?

How can they live In a world of chaos,

In a world ruled by evil?

They need you now More than ever.

I can't help them anymore.

How can you say that?

You've never turned your back On anyone.

Even if it meant risking Your life to save a stranger.

You knew nothing About the centaurs,

Except that They needed your help.

That was enough.

[ whinnying ]

The horses, the horses!

[ snorting ]

[ neighing ]

The horses are loose.

No, they're here.

Come on!

[ shouting orders ]

This is our chance, come on.

[ neighing ] They're coming.

Stop them!

Come on!

[ gasping ]

Ahhh!

We'll meet again.

So why did You save them?

They were in danger -- They needed my help.

I suppose you think They're safe now.

What about me?

If you're walking away, Why did you save my life?

I haven't seen anyone wearing An eiron ring.

Do you see?

He wears a green stone ring On his hand.

An eiron!

Kill him.

[ groaning ]

[ screaming ]

Dar said we should go, Come on!

Tao: Back then, You risked everything

To save someone Who needed your help:

Animal, person, me -- You're leaving us to our fates.

You won't even try To find arina.

Are we any safer now from zad, From balcifer?

Doesn't matter -- You're walking away

'cause you made a mistake.

I wish I was always right.

I wish I only ever made One mistake...

But I didn't.

I've made many.

Some tribes believe If you save their life,

You're responsible For them forever?

That's Not fair.

By doing so, you put them In their present situation.

By saving their lives I gave them another chance.

I see.

The beastmaster only gives One more chance.

After that, You're on your own.

Why does it have to be my fate, My destiny,

To save them all?

Good question.

Think about this.

Why do you have the powers To deal with animals?

Why go through the pain And suffering

To get those powers?

Every day, When the sun rises,

One of these will fall.

When the last one falls, You may rise.

You will lie As if dead --

Not eating, Not drinking,

Not listening -- Can you do it?

Easy.

[ heart beating ]

[ rustling ]

[ whooshing ]

[ squeaking ]

[ hissing ]

[ sighing ]

[ growling ]

[ growling ]

You think you're tired.

How do you think I feel?

We're talking to each other.

You acted bravely, Like your father.

Even when it's Not a good idea.

Why do you talk About my father?

He made me a promise.

He kept it.

He saved Some of my animal friends,

So I kept my promise to him.

I let you live,

And I gave you the powers.

She promised my father.

That's right. [ twittering ]

[ growling ]

I thought she meant My sula father, but she meant--

Eldar.

Curupira knew everything From the start.

Your father knew

That to defeat balcifer You needed her

On your side.

This is your destiny, dar, No one else's.

Where are You going? To look For arina.

If you won't find her, I will.

[ squeaking ]

Sometimes it feels like We can change our destinies.

Usually our destinies Just happen...

If we make them happen.

[ growling ]

[ growling ]

You think she's alive?

[ growling ]

She's tough, isn't she?

[ growling ]

All right.

Star -- I go.

[ shrilling ]

Seagull -- I stay.

[ squeaking ]

Seagull.

[ ruh growling ]

[ kodo squeaking ]

Let's go.

[ shrilling ]

[ shrilling ]

[ growling ] Ahh!

Ruh?

Any ideas?

[ growling ]

[ sighing ]

Find anything?

Yeah.

This, by these rocks.

Good -- keep looking.

I know she's alive.

That's good, That's very good.

[ shrilling ]

[ growling ]

Sharak, Look for arina downstream.

Ruh, search the tree line.

[ growling ]

[ squeaking ]

Kodo, what's that?

Tao, kodo's found her knife.

Where did you find this -- Show me.

[ growling ]

[ sharak shrilling ]

He found her.

Dar: Arina?

Arina.

Don't move her!

Let me take a look.

[ coughing ]

Nice of you to show up.

Are you all right?

Yeah, all things Considered.

You got some pretty bad scrapes And bruises.

I'll give you some herbs,

Some leaves--

Thank you, I've had enough.

I was worried about you.

I'm sorry.

Me too.

What are you sorry for?

I felt bad leaving you On your own.

Looks like you did all right Without me.

I had tao's help.

[ shrilling ]

[ squeaking ]

[ growling ]

Why are we standing here?

Don't we have a goat to find?

[ chuckling ]
