"See, our ships sail in the seas." "Endless water everywhere." "Skeleton structure normal...." "What are you doing?" "It must be the density of your bones." "Jump for me." "Enough..." "There will be time for playfulness later." "I want no playfulness from him," "I want his help." "Explain to me how you do it!" "If it's a skill teach it to Helium." "Name your price.." "I'm not for hire." "I've got a cave of gold of my own." "Somewhere!" "Only a madman would rave about the time of oceans." "Is that your expert view?" "I'm mad?" "Or liar." "She is a good match for you Dotar Sojat." "Don't call me that!" "There are no seas on the planet." "You said planet." "Sun." "Then Rasoom." "Mercury." "Then Kosoom." "Venus." "Then Earth, Us."

"million of Karads of empty space?" "No." "Not like that." "Go on." "Shock me!" "How?" "That brought me here." "Ohh!" "That explains everything then." "It does?" "Yes." "You're a Thern." "And you simply wish to return to your rightful place, isn't that it?" "Yes." "Then let's sort this out right now." "Come along." "Where are you going?" "To your temple." "No." "No.." "You cannot enter here." "It is forbidden." "You are not Thark." "woola stay here." "Dejah..." "It is forbidden." "It is forbidden." "Well..." "You speak for the Goddess." "What is she say?" "You call me a Thern," "Is that what she is?" "No." "She is Issus." "Therns are holly messenger of the Goddess.." "In the time of oceans they walked among us, guiding us." "We must not offend." "Let us go." "There is some kind of writing up there." "Can you read it?" "Yes." "It's old scripture." "I.." "I..." "Try this again.." "What's it mean?" "Don't rush me." "For those who seek the solace of eternity," "May journey down the river," "Through the secret gates of Iss." "And find everlasting peace," "In the bosom of Issus." "The Gates of Iss." "What if, I could take you there?" "What if, I didn't trust you?" "Then we'd be even." "I can take you to the Gates." "To the answers that you seek." "A way back to Jasoom." "Earth...." "Earth." "So this I can do to repay you from getting us out of here." "Assuming that you can." "Deal." "Go on." "Shake it." "This is a sign of trust." "Good enough." "Now all I need to do is get this medallion off Tars Tarkas." "Dotar Sojat." "Useless shake alot." "I told you it is forbidden." "What in the name of Issus is going on?" "Issus has been profaned." "We found this one and red wench clotting in the temple." "In the temple!" "How did they get..." "Sola, let them there." "Sola tried to stop us." "I meant no disrespect to your Goddess,Tars." "I'm just trying get home." "Your right arms were.... planning to rob you of the medallion.." "and use it to commit greater blasphemy.." "down the river Iss." "They must all die in the arena." "How could you do this?" "I spared your life.." "I made you Dotar Sojat, yet... her life means nothing to you." "You knew!" "You knew here no room for another mark." "Now Sola will die because of you." "She's you daughter." "Isn't she?" "Who told you that?" "Call it a father's intuition." "A Thark has no parent with the horde." "But how do you know?" "Her mother kept her egg.." "and Sola is the last flicker of her ancient greatness." "You can't stand here and let her be killed." "My right arms offend me, I will cut them off!" "No!" "You must hurry...." "I mean to release you." "I make one condition." "You take Sola with you down the river Iss." "My Jeddak!" "I'd rather you died in the arms of the Goddess than as foods for wild banths in the arena." "Where you go, she goes." "What's gonna happend to you Tars?" "Only the Tharks, his head in one hand and he may yet concur." "Is it done my Jeddak?" "Tars Tarkas betrays us." "Woola." "You belong to him." "Woola would follow you anywhere of Barsoom." "It's three days right.." "Follow me!" "What's happend to this place?" "Zodanga happened." "Sailing on light ." "Still playing the madman?" "Or the liar." "Keep moving!" "We'll get there." "Why pursue this wedding any longer, I've already one." "Not yet." "It was to impass the horizon Sab Than." "It's true demoralizing nation requires a public spectacle on grandest scale." "Stating this wedding will ensure your rule goes unchallenged." "If you insist." "You cannot see the wisdom in that then we will find another who can." "Dotar Sojat." "Carter!" "I do not think she leads us to the Iss." "All right then Sola." "Just play along..." "Yah." "What do you think I do when I saw your city and not some river?" "What do you mean?" "Kloras and Thoria." "they should be at our backs by now." "You lead us toward Helium." "Once we reach there..." "You would see for yourself the virtue of our cause." "Everyone thinks their cause is virtuous," "Professor." "What are you doing?" "!" "No!" "John Carter!" "You can't!" "I like this plan better." "Just wait..." "She'll come around." "You mad fool!" "You're not from Earth!" "I'm innocent." "I only told you with you wanted to hear so you get us out." "Stop!" "I can't." "I cannot marry him!" "Can't marry who?" "The Zodangan Jeddak you've fought." "Sab Than." "He offered a truce to my father in exchange for my hand." "Your father?" "Tardos Mors." "The Jeddak of Helium." "She is a Princess." "Princess of Mars." "How about that?" "A Princess who didn't wanna get married." "So she ran away." "No." "Is that all there is to this story?" "No." "I didn't ran away!" "I escaped." "From what, His breath?" "So marry the guy and save your people." "A life of oppression, that's not living!" "If you had the means to save others, would you not take any action possible to make it so?" "No good wil come out of me to fighting' your war." "I would lay down my life for Helium." "Yes." "I ran away." "I was afraid." "Weak." "Maybe, I should've married." "but I so feared that it would somehow be the end of Barsoom." "I tell you truely." "John Carter of Earth." "There are no Gate of Iss." "They are not real." "I'm sorry Princess." "But this, this is real." "And so is my Cave of Gold." "Who is in demand for taking escort?" "No." "I'll go alone General." "Jeddak." "No sweep." "I can put an end in 2000 years of civil war and bring Helium to its knees forever." "But my Agenda, in his superior wisdom.. objects!" "isn't that right?" "!" "This taught me talk like you." "Hector, they have reached the Iss." "It took them longer than I thought." "If they should reach the gates..." "They can breach the sanctuary." "And her knowledge of The Ninth Ray is already" "As advanced as it will ever be." "Patient brothers." "It is under my control." "I'm already there." "The Iss." "Here pilgrims must leave behind all they have." "All they know." "Never to returned." "If The Goddess find me worthy." "Wait!" "What you think you're doing?" "It is my way Dotar Sojat, not yours." "I must honor my Jeddak and redeem my own unworthiness." "You wanna honor your father?" "And stay alive and help me." "My father?" "Sola." "Why would you say that?" "That what's drive your compassion." "The blood of your father." "Tars Tarkas." "And of all the Tharks." "You are the only one worthy of him." "And your duty to your father demands that you see me through." "Just help me find the Gates." "Then you can decide what honor requires." "Just toward Gates then." "Woola stay!" "Other pilgrims." "Professor." "Impossible." "I never seen this kind of structure before." "I will get a better look." "Carter, your feet!" "This is not the work of God." "These are machines." "Your medallion." "The spider." "Nine." "Nine Rays." "Nine." "The Ninth Ray is real" "It'll be harnessed, Do you see?" "The entire structure runs on Ninth Ray isolates." "The Iss is such power," "Such power." "That somehow Zodanga has it." "Therns." "They must be real." "And you." "John Carter of Earth?" "Yes Maam." "And the ships." "That sail on the sea." "You've seen them." "That's must be a beautiful sight." "It truely is." "It's a..." "Solar System." "What it's saying?" "I'm not sure." "Ok." "What do you think is this?" "It appears to be.... kind of technical diagram." "Here is Barsoom and here is Jasoom." "This glyph here" "It's like our symbol for" "Transcription." "A copy sent along these lines here." "between the worlds." "like..." "the telegram." "You saying I was telegraphed here." "I'm a copy of myself." "Possibly making these words here." "The command for travel." "I don't longer think" "I need more information.." "I need.." "Charts, codices." "Wait." "Where might we found those?" "In the Hall of Science." "And where is that?" "Helium." "Quick!" "That you said on it, turn on back to Helium." "Why did you take me for?" "I take you for a man who's lost." "I won't be lost if you just tell me how to work this thing." "I will." "But everything I need to understand that medallion is in Helium." "I'm trying get you back to your cave of gold." "Isn't that what you want?" "Yes." "No." "I don't believe you." "We may have been born worlds apart." "But I know you, John Carter." "On the moment you caught me in the sky...." "I knew," "I felt the heart of a man willing to laid on his life for others." "The man willing to fight for a cause." "Here." "On Barsoom." "Don't you see?" "Carter?" "I fled to find another way." "You are the other way." "Dotar Sojat!" "Warhoon." "Dotar Sojat!" "Pursue them to the Helium Plane then overtake them and capture the red woman alive." "The one who jumps?" "Let's see what he's capable of." "Yaah!" "Corpse." "Hold." "Dotar Sojat." "What are you doing?" "Sola get her out of here." "No!" "Carter!" "I was too late once," "I won't be again." "No!" "No!" "Woola go!" "Go damn you!" "Father!" "Thank you Goddess!" "Carter.." "Ohh, Ohh.." "Thanks Issus." "Who is he?" "His name is John Carter.." "He saved my live." "He's from Jasoom." "Jasoom?" "Zodanga's closer, he'll have my personal physician." "He shot me out of the sky!" "Daughter listen to me." "Listen to me." "Sab has admitted to everything." "And he came to me alone without an escort." "I could have held him in prison." "I could have him killed." "Yet this was clear he only care about your safety." "I feared you to be tortured by the Tharks." "and condemned to die in their arena." "I could not live with that on my conscience." "I do have one, Princess." "Really?" "I thought you had it removed along with...." "Dejah!" "She does not trust me, Jeddak." "And why should she?" "There's never been trust between Zodanga and Helium." "Therefore Princess I offer you the small but sincere.... token of my good will." "My life." "Dejah." "You hold the power, princess." "The power of life." "Over me and over all Barsoom." "With our two cities united, anything is possible." "All you have to do is marry me." "This is Helium?" "Ssssgh...!" "No!" "Ohh!" "Zodanga." "For the men are limited as the menu.." "And the women are as hard as the best." "What's your business here?" "He is my business." "Let's just assume we taking him to more secure accommodation." "We receive no such orders." "But you are receiving them now!" "Straight from the laughing lips of Sab Than himself." "I heared that you are incredibly dangerous." "Take me hostage." "What?" "Take me hostage." "Are you allright?" "Help!" "help!" "The white imbecile!" "He takes my sword!" "Guards!" "They're up front.." "You're the crazy man,let me be with my sword." "Carter, this way." "Right." "Your turn." "My turn?" "Who are you?" "My name is Kantos Kan." "I serve Princess Dejah." "Dejah?" "From what she tells me..." "You can get us over.." "there..." "She said, I can make that?" "Or we can get surrender." "Is that what you do what Jasoom, huh?" "Come on." "Hello ladies." "You are expected to bow in my presence Captain Carter." "Bow." "Suppose that will do." "I have fetched him as you commanded." "Thank you Kantos." "I wish to speak to Captain Carter alone." "Keep watch outside." "Now girls, off we go." "You look beautiful." "It's a tradition of Zodangan." "Worn by the groom's mother I'm told." "It's a little vulgar of for my taste, But my opinions about to became irrelevant." "You can't seriously be considering this." "What other choice do I have?" "Don't marry him." "Give me reason not to." "Will you stay and fight for Helium?" "Will you stay, and fight for Helium?" "Dejah," "We have saying on Barsoom." ""A warrior, may change his metal"" ""but not his heart"" "You were right." "I could decipher the command." "It's a set of sounds." "A simple phrase." "Repeat after me." "Ok.. ohum.. okte.."

"Yes, of course." "We have plenty of time to talk." "Now." "Who are you?" "Ohh.." "American?" "Who are you, Sir?" "Sir?" "Definitely the South." "The Carolinas, Virginia?" "It's Virginia, isn't it?"
