""THE HEART OF THE WARRIOR"" "Of all the gods, which one brought you to me, Sonja?" "Leave the gods alone, Beldar." "It was you." "You talk in your sleep." "And what did I say?" "That you were going to look for a precious stone in this labyrinth." "Crom!" "I can't keep a secret from you." "I was going to steal the jewel to give it to you." "You don't say." "Lister!" "You petty thief." "Who did you think you could fool with that mask?" "Put it back, Beldar." "His face is even more pathetic." "I'm not a dog for you to talk to me like that!" "You're right." "You look more like one of the rats that run around here." "Why did you crawl out from under your rock?" "What do you want, rat?" "The stone." "And don't you call me a rat!" "Some secret, that stone." "Don't tell me you slept with this rat too." "I'm not a rat!" "I'm a man!" "Did you hear something?" "Relax." "You always get tense when you come to steal in the labyrinths." "No one who tried to steal something here lived to tell about it." "If we want to be the first, we need to be as cautious as panthers." "The trail ends here!" "I didn't notice." "Don't fear." "It must be the entrance to the crypt where the jewel is." "Why don't we talk up here?" "What did you do now?" "!" "It 's all right!" "I've figured out the way to open the crypt!" "You have such great timing!" "Didn't you want the jewel?" "Not if I have to be crushed!" "Up!" "Welcome to the Crypt of the Thousand Eyes." "Very cozy." "This warrior must be the guardian to the crypt." "Must have been." "He's mummified." "You can say that again." "Looks like a Hiborean warrior who disappeared more than 200 years ago." "Do you know that language?" "It 's an ancient Stygian dialect." ""The most valuable jewel is... the one that moves the blood of a warrior."" "The heart." "What?" "The heart moves the blood." "The jewel is the heart of the warrior!" "By the shores of Atlantis!" "With this stone, we can buy the whole kingdom of Hericany." "Thank you, Beldar." "It 's very beautiful." "Wait." "Keep reading the inscription." "It can't be that easy." "It says something about a curse." "Maybe we should put the stone back." "Are you mad?" "I'd rather tear my own heart out than put this back." "Did you see that?" "All these eyes seem to be watching us." "Are you listening to me?" "I think these heads are alive." "They are watching us." "Whatever." "We don't have time to socialize." "We need to get out now." "Watch out!" "It 's been 90 years since I've tasted female meat!" "Let me chew on you a little, Sonja!" "Die!" "No!" "Tits!" "Take this lecherous head off me!" "Ass!" "Suck me!" "Suck me!" "I want you!" "I'm stuck!" "Let 's go, Beldar." "We need to get out of here quick." "You want out?" "!" "You can't escape!" "You've been cursed!" "Cursed!" "What 's all this racket?" "You know I hate it when you yell like that!" "You do it every morning!" "What time did you get home last night?" "Put your clothes on, your friend Javier is waiting for you." "I don't want to tell you again!" "How will I get you out of bed?" "You want some pie?" "I made pie." "Ever heard of a thing called alarm clock?" "Your brain's gonna rot from watching all this junk." "When it 's not the TV, it 's the computer." "And these magazines." "Ramón, dear, I have to go." "I won't see you anymore today." "I've got a 24-hour shift at the hospital." "What?" "Are you still sleeping, you sloth?" "Come on!" "You'd be lost if I didn't kick you out of bed every morning." "Wash it off, come on." "You're looking awful." "That 's better, darling." "Have lunch out today." "Dinner's in the fridge, you just need to nuke it." "There's plenty, you can invite Javi to dinner, if you want." "Gimme a kiss." "Why didn't you show up last night?" "VCR broke, couldn't tape "X-Files"." "I managed to get in the Crypt of the Thousand Eyes!" "You really don't waste any time, do you?" "Always one step ahead." "Yeah." "And I found the Heart." "But there was a curse, I'm cursed now." "Did you fuck the hot mama?" "What hot mama?" "What do you mean?" "The one you always meet in your dreams." "Did you see "X-Files" last night?" "No." "It was great, really cool!" "There was this guy that could turn into anyone at all... flexing some muscles in his face." "He fooled women, fucked them..." "You there!" "Sleepyhead!" "You know what I'd like to turn into?" "A really handsome guy." "Listen up, Pavarotti's here!" "I'd fuck all the chicks." "What?" "Without that hot mama in your dreams, you wouldn't fuck a fly." "With that face you're stuck with..." "What are you looking at, midget?" "The son of a bitch bit me!" "Now I'm gonna get rabies!" "What an asshole!" "Look!" "Motherfucker!" "YOUNG DEMOCRACY INVITES YOU TO A FREE ROCK NIGHT" "Look, Deviot." "Excuse me..." "look, we don't vote yet, but we're almost there." "And what do you want?" "See the show at the amusement park." "And what 's that gotta do with me?" "Lord, give me strength." "What, man?" "You didn't show up last night." "My dog got sick." "Tonight 's tournament is at 10 PM, at the Top of the World." "You, Beldar... bring the lamp." "We'll be there, Master." "Ramón!" "Ramón Beldar!" "Avast, accursed mummy!" "Ramón Beldar!" "Get out of here right now!" "Did she throw you out too?" "I couldn't stop laughing." "Why did you call her a mummy?" "Wow!" "It 's the girl from 2nd A!" "She drives me nuts!" "Talk to her." "You got the balls?" "If she gets close, you'll see balls!" "You better start thinking about what you're gonna say." "See?" "Have I got balls or what?" "Yeah, you practically fucked her." "Look who's talking!" "Why didn't you say anything?" "Can you keep a secret?" "What do you mean?" "I've never betrayed a friend." "No one must know!" "It 's ultrasecret!" "Especially, don't tell Victor." "Have I ever let you down?" "Don't tell me you're dating some girl." "It 's not the same in a dream!" "Oh yeah?" "How much do you sleep?" "8 hours a day." "More, if they let me." "Add the time you shit and eat." "It 's almost half your day." "I spend this whole time with her." "But it 's not real time." "Oh no?" "Half your life ain't real?" "You're so dumb." "You're wasting the better half of your life." "Whatever, sucker." "You nitwit, prove this is real!" "No fair hitting me back." "Wasn't real for you, but it was for me." "Wanna have dinner?" "I'm alone here." "What are you complaining about?" "I would love to spend some time apart from my folks." "If they went on a trip, I mean, not like your dad." "Okay, you can reel your tongue in now." "Is that Sonja?" "She is ravishing, a goddess." "You never saw one, not even paying." "I can see tons of them on the Net." "And for free, I never pay for porn." "But they are sows." "Sonja is not that kind of girl." "She's smart, she's got personality." "But do you fuck her or don't you?" "Probably, but I don't dream of that." "You're a faggot." "Get down and fight like a man!" "We fucked up." "You mean you fucked up." "Isn't your mom gonna remarry?" "She looks fine for her age." "I bet she gets a lot of dogs drooling over her in that nurse outfit." "Nothing to drink in this house?" "How can you be so dumb?" "You always fall for it." "You do it on purpose." "Sometimes you overdo it, Javi." "Come on, don't get mad." "Beldar can't be mad about something so petty." "Especially when he's got that nice piece of ass by his side." "Are you making fun of me?" "No." "You're just jealous." "You'd kill to have a woman like Sonja every night." "Every night?" "How do you do it?" "Do you force her?" "I don't." "She comes by herself." "I guess she loves me, that 's all." "Not you." "She loves Beldar." "I am Beldar!" "Don't mix things up!" "You're mixing things up, pal!" "You're Ramón, a skinny guy who can't get some!" "Ramón does not interest me." "I'm also Beldar, I know what 's my best part!" "It 's the part that doesn't waste time talking to a fat retard like you!" "If I could help it, I wouldn't be here with you either, would I?" "I only put up with you because this pasta is delicious." "Tell your mom." "Sometimes, I wonder..." "have you ever seen your mom naked?" "Come on, guys!" "Boys, the Top of the World!" "Leonardo Di Caprio is an asshole!" "I'm the king of the world!" "I've got the city at my feet!" "It 's late." "Tonight we begin one hour before midnight." "If anyone needs to get back home like Cinderella, do it now!" "When the tournament begins, you can't leave until I tell you to." "Come on, man, quit stalling!" "What?" "Someone talking back at me?" "Do you want to be expelled from the Circle?" "Respect, vermin!" "Or fuck off!" "Ramón, you may leave anytime, since your girl visits you every night." "She's called Sonja, right?" "CRYPT OF THE THOUSAND EYES" "Let 's remember the last tournament." "Lister, you were overcome by your impatience, not to mention vileness." "You couldn't wait for the right moment, and Beldar, for a change... kicked your ass in the labyrinth." "How..." "I hate you..." "Beldar!" "You've lost seven points." "You have only three left." "You may choose a new character to play... or convince someone to take you to the wizard if you want to be revived." "You think it 's worth it?" "There's nothing left to do in the labyrinth." "Beldar's got the stone." "Whatever, take me to the wizard, then." "You're always whining." "And I've got to save your ass again." "We're a team, aren't we?" "A hundred gold coins, Lister... or you'll stay here and get eaten by rats!" "Damn scavenger vulture!" "Do not thank me." "You would do the same for me, partner." "Damn you, Beldar!" "One day your luck will run off!" "As for you, Beldar... the stone you stole was the heart of a warrior under a spell... turned by the Order of the Thousand Eyes into a zombie." "When you tore his heart out, his soul was released... and the curse fell upon you!" "You took it disregarding the consequences... moved by your boundless covetousness and arrogance." "You need to accept your punishment and learn from it." "You lose two points of wisdom." "Whatever." "And what 's this curse?" "What is it?" "There's no cult more powerful than the Order of the Thousand Eyes... forever and ever subduing men." "Its sorcerers use spellbound people like you against their enemies." "Anyone who dares to challenge them is deprived of all they have... even their clothes." "Then they cut their heads off and they keep them alive in the crypt... so that their bodies and their souls will roam, eternally beheaded... through a blind and endless night!" "Nice ass." "Tell me about it." "That 's scary." "Damn sorcerers!" "No, Beldar." "You're the damned one." "And, if you don't get rid of the spell soon, the Order... will use you in some of its dark and deadly ploys." "And how do I get rid of the spell?" "First you need to get out of the crypt, remember?" "The head you used to wedge the secret door open... is about to turn into mush." "Remember, your hands are burning from holding the heart... and they'll burn like that for... for a while." "Here, kid." "It 'll give you strength." "Watch out, it 's thick." "Call Sonja to help you." "Go ahead, Beldar." "We can do it." "I'll climb the bridge and jump to the other side." "I can do it!" "Okay." "But considering your situation, I give you a 20% chance of success." "What?" "Correction: the head turned into puree." "You've got a 10% chance." "The bridge is going up, Beldar." "You need to draw a 0 and a1." "Come on, Beldar!" "Come on!" "What are you waiting for?" "Gimme a 0, gimme a 0, gimme a 0!" "Yes!" "Yes!" "I've made it!" "We've made it!" "The trail is beginning to crumble." "The world's gonna fall over your head, Beldar!" "I'm out, Master!" "What do you think?" "Not bad." "But you lost many points escaping." "No problem!" "Tell me how to get rid of the curse." "There are only two ways:" "the one you used with the warrior, to tear your heart out and burn it..." "Crom!" "Sorry, man." "The joint..." "And what 's the other one?" "Your life for one of theirs." "You'll have to kill the last sorcerer that entered the Order." "You will find him in the Lions' Temple." "They'll gather there at dawn to plot their plans." "Your man is the one who dresses in red." "What are you gonna do, Beldar?" "First I'll talk to the wizard to learn more about the sorcerers... or to obtain some secret weapon." "A wise decision." "Guys, the tramp's out there!" "And she's entertaining!" "Quiet, everyone!" "Dammit, give us a break, Victor!" "What a piece of ass!" "Look!" "Look at her legs." "The tournament is suspended until further notice." "Damn, she's with a guy!" "Let me look, man." "Tits, tits!" "Gimme!" "Go buy yourself one!" "Be mindful of others." "Learn to share." "Let 's share your mom, then." "Let 's share yours, she's fatter." "So many guys in need." "One of these days, you sorry wankers... you guys'll be up here, and you'll see me servicing that hot tramp." "For now, lend me those binoculars." "Mark my words, she'll be mine." "That 's not a ghost, huh, Victor?" "That 's right, keep looking at her from here." "You'll never get closer." "Isn't that your Sonja, Beldar?" "What a fox." "She'll fuck any guy she sees, right?" "Look at that bitch." "Sonja?" "Is that you?" "Dammit." "You get cuckolded even in your dreams, Beldar." "Don't take her away!" "Motherfucker!" "He always does that!" "Show's over, right?" "Now..." "Now change the tune, all right?" "Now you need something to put out that fire." "It 's time to take a stroll on the terrace of the Imperador Hotel!" "You, weirdo, pick up the map." "Who was that, Sonja?" "I'd like to spank the monkey now!" "Come." "Women don't like sissies, Ramón... and you're a sissy." "Why don't you jump in the pool from up here?" "It 's not so high for a man." "This is a feat for men." "Beldar would jump." "I am Beldar!" "No, Ramón." "You are a sissy." "A sissy who hasn't got enough balls to jump or to kiss a woman." "I am Beldar!" "Beldar!" "Sonja is only mine!" "You thought you had to jump from up there just to impress me?" "Sometimes you act like a child." "What the hell is this garment?" "It doesn't matter." "How about taking it off?" "I thought I had lost you." "I thought you were with another man." "Me, with another man?" "You're hallucinating." "Sonja..." "What are you doing, you faggot?" "!" "Who are you anyway?" "It 's me, Beldar." "What 's gotten into you?" "No!" "Avast!" "You're not Sonja." "You have her countenance, but you are a disgusting creature!" "Okay, you big moron." "I'll take a bath, the water is great." "It 'll give you some time to forget that nonsense." "Why the long face?" "Forgive me, Sonja." "It 's not you." "It 's me." "I've been cursed." "Now I'm at the sorcerers' mercy." "What do you want?" "Since when you work for Netheril?" "You came all this way just to ask me that?" "I know I know you, but I've never seen you in the tower before." "You wanna talk to the sorcerer or did you come to bust my balls?" "I'll explain." "We're here to smash you if you don't take us to your master!" "Hurry up!" "Master?" "Master?" "The ones who look for you are here." "That rat face... could it be...?" "Lister." "How did that clown end up in here?" "Time and space are just origami... in the hands of a mad god." "What do you want?" "Do you know the Lions' Temple?" "I was cursed by the Order of the Thousand Eyes." "They'll meet there." "I need information, Netheril!" "Sum and subtraction, dawn and dusk." "You can't give without receiving, lest you upset the cosmic order." "Well, that cult is eternal and parasitic." "It feeds off man, and I'll have you know that you've got three days... to get rid of the curse, otherwise you'll be damned for eternity... or until someone rips out your heart." ""WIZARDRY FOR DUMMIES"" "You know what sorcerer to kill?" "The one who dresses in red." "No!" "The one who has red eyes!" "And tell me when did the spell begin?" "This morning." "When I was sent to the other world." "You went to a parallel dimension." "Which shape did you assume there?" "I remember I became a boy." "The boy is you in that other dimension." "There is an infinity of worlds, as many as there are men." "We have a parallel existence in all of them." "I don't understand what you say." "You're not the only one!" "Tell me, Netheril, why did they send me there?" "Okay." "Pay a lot of attention, I'll try to establish contact... with the oracle of Trofónio." "There!" "You might as well go." "When he does that, no one understands him." "It 's no use." "With that guy around, it 's impossible to concentrate." "Let 's see this map." "The places it describes... are parallel points in both worlds." "It should indicate the door that unites the two dimensions." "And where is that door?" "I told you, we need to decipher the map." "You don't know a thing." "He's making this parallel dimension stuff up." "Oh yes?" "Tell me, have you ever seen objects such as these?" "They were brought to me by travelers from another world." "This one, that fascinates them and is called the source of all evil... seems to me an excellent entertainment." "I grow fond of you, warrior." "I'll have you know that the temple... is watched by two infernal beasts." "Infernal beasts?" "Yes." "Two hideous lions who breathe fire." "But you are lucky." "They've brought me some powerful magic weapons." "Those tubes... where did I see them?" "Only these can defeat the beasts." "And how do they work?" "You shake them well... pull the silver ring, and be careful... because the contents come out with the force of a demon." "Aim at the animals' mouths." "And they can be yours... for a fair price." "What if they don't work?" "You won't be around to complain." "Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm very busy." "Look for me in the other world." "I told you, I exist on all dimensions." "Maybe over there I can show you where the door is." "The door... the door..." "So?" "Do something!" "Why do these things only happen to me?" "The door?" "What fucking door?" "The door... where's the door?" "You'll be late, come on!" "The door!" "If we're late, we miss the field trip!" "Where am I?" "What do you mean?" "In the Lions' Temple." "What 's wrong?" "Are you afraid?" "They're just two kittens who want to be petted." "If you want, we can forget this and go for a walk in the woods." "See what a beautiful night?" "Sonja... you don't have to go with me." "This is my business." "Oh, now you tell me?" "Sonja!" "What did you do?" "What 's got into you?" "Run!" "Is it morning already?" "But how?" "What about Sonja?" "Is she alive?" "Leggo of me!" "Stop fooling around, they'll get us!" "We're with the field trip!" "Hurry up." "Where are the others?" "They're here." "Where were you?" "In there, we'll walk in a group, all right?" "You may ask about anything of interest." "What?" "When did the sun come up?" "Netheril, is that you?" "He's delirious." "Keep your head back." "Sonja." "What are you doing here?" "It doesn't matter now, Beldar." "It 's dawn already, we can't waste time." "You're dead, right?" "Otherwise you couldn't be here." "Don't worry about me." "Pick up your dagger and kill the sorcerer." "Run!" "We need to enter the path of..." "This is an attempt against me and against Young Democracy!" "All units, code 4, I repeat, code 4!" "Hurry up with that, we gotta do the salad." "Roger, 545." "We're on our way." "Is the kitchen staff ready?" "Yeah, Sergeant." "He came out from there." "Stop!" "Stop!" "Good afternoon." "Hi, Mariano, how are you?" "Back it up, back it up!" "Come on." "Freeze!" "Freeze!" "I'm just going home from school." "What about that in your face?" "Go home, kid." "Nothing to see here." "Or do you want me to arrest you?" "CONGRESS" "More news from the Congress, where the leader of Young Democracy..." "Adolfo del Prado, was the target, this morning, of a bizarre attempt... luckily frustrated." "BREAKING NEWS" "I've never seen anything like it." "The head of security, the government, no one explains how it could happen." "But I guarantee I'm glad to still be among those who wonder." "The knife was thrown from the upper boxes... but the hall cameras managed to get images of the suspect... that you now see on your screen." "Damn, what a hottie." "Ramón?" "!" "Don't scream, man." "Why are you here?" "How'd you get in?" "Through the window." "But we're on the sixth floor." "It 's because I'm Beldar, man." "I told you, you didn't believe me." "You're crazy." "What did you do?" "Threw a knife at a congressman?" "So you don't see him since yesterday morning, and he didn't even call?" "No, but that 's normal." "Or you think he should punch in at home, like he was in an office?" "You really made my night." "All night dreaming you were I don't know who..." "It 's important, I need your help." "I had to drag you, you were crazy!" "Javi, please listen." "You should see what I had to do." "We had to take you to your mom's hospital, and then..." "Listen, it 's important!" "Easy, goddamit." "almost broke my arm." "You're strong!" "Sorry." "Javi, there are many dimensions, and we have a manifestation in each one." "You see Ramón, but I'm also Beldar." "And the boy's father doesn't know?" "Don't talk to me about his father." "That 's the one I haven't got any news from in a while." "And you know of anyone who saw your son last night?" "The politician, though you can't see that, it 's the Order's new sorcerer." "You ripped that off an "X-Files" episode." "There was a guy who was a monster, and everyone saw him normal." "Only a few saw him for what he was, and everybody called them crazy." "That 's what I'm talking about." "You're crazy and you want company!" "Who were you talking to, Javi?" "Me?" "No one." "I'm alone here." "Have some respect, you hear?" "Listen, Javi... were you with Ramón all the time last night?" "Yeah." "Why?" "The police called." "They'll come here and question you." "Stay in your room until we call you." "All right, Mom." "Ramón?" "Are you there?" "Don't tell me I've imagined you." "In here, it 's safer." "How did you get in here?" "Didn't I tell you I'm Beldar?" "I've got reflexes like a panther." "I'm beginning to believe that." "How can I help you?" "I've got little time left... to get rid of the spell." "If the sun comes up twice more, I'll be lost forever." "Then you're fucked, 'cause the sun's gonna come up." "You wanna stop it?" "Don't be silly." "I'll see Victor." "He knows how to read the quest 's map." "See?" "The sorcerer must be in one of these places." "They're parallel in both worlds." "This one's the Congress." "I need to ask the wizard about the door to the other dimension." "Surely the wizard knows about it." "Wait." "I've made a drawing." "See?" "What?" "Do you know him?" "To tell you the truth, yes." "You do?" "Dammit, Javi!" "You have to take me to him, no matter what!" "It 's a matter of life and death!" "Then I'll do whatever you want... but right now my parents mean death." "How are you gonna get past them?" "Don't worry, I'll leave the same way I came in." "Hi." "Good evening." "Good evening." "Sonja!" "You!" "Where are you going?" "Leave him." "It 's just a junkie." "The gods smile upon me!" "They've brought me to you, Sonja, my love!" "What the hell... easy there!" "Sonja!" "Don't you recognize me?" "It 's me." "Sonia." "My name's Sonia." "I don't know you." "Or do I?" "Of course!" "Of course you do!" "But in another world." "Dammit, how am I gonna explain it?" "It doesn't matter." "It 's important that you understand." "You know me, but in another body, in another dimension." "We live in different dimensions, understand?" "You've dropped an acid, didn't you?" "Gimme some." "No, no." "I'm Beldar." "Doesn't that name ring any bells?" "Whatever." "I don't feel great." "I wanna sleep." "Wait." "Look." "Look." "The Thousand Eyes cult, Netheril, the waterfall lake..." "Beautiful." "...the Lions' Temple... don't these names mean anything?" "Don't they remind you of something?" "No?" "Of course, most people are not aware of their other lives." "I think I'm getting you confused." "Could you shut up for a while?" "My God." "That 's my stop!" "Sonja!" "We'll talk later, then." "No, I'll get off with you." "Okay." "Let me through!" "You don't know what it means to me to know you're alive in this world." "I'm happy for you." "The last time I saw you... you were white as a ghost and covered in blood." "Then we've met at the hospital." "Was it you who took me there?" "So many things happened that day." "You were very kind." "Thank you." "What 's your name again?" "Persian?" "No, no." "Beldar." "My name's Beldar." "Is that your trade name?" "No." "But it 's a strange name." "Persian." "Beldar." "Hi." "Am I late?" "No, don't worry, Adolfo." "I'm the one who's early." "We want you to see the TV spots... for the new campaign, Adolfo." "You too, Enrique, of course." "Do you mind?" "Not at all." "YOUNG DEMOCRACY" "You love nature." "You feel different... orcast out." "But not very far from you, from you, yes, and also from you... there is a young and ready crew who shares your doubts and dreams... and they want to change the rules of the game once and for all." "DON'T LET ANYONE DECIDE FOR YOU" " PLAY BY YOURSELF" "You thought you were alone, but you're not." "Not anymore." "Don't worry, we're gonna save the whales." "They are with all the others." "Adolfo del Prado." "Enrique Krauel." "So that no one decides for you." "Play by yourself." "Young Democracy." "I'm not much into it anymore." "I just snort a line at night." "Tonight should be an exception." "Are you talking about drugs?" "Isn't that what you've got?" "Come on, gimme a fix." "What have you got?" "I'll make it worth your while." "Where are the lovey-doveys going?" "To the zoo." "My cousin loves animals." "We look the other way up to a point." "But no child like that should stay up so late." "It 's not my fault he's my cousin." "It 's true." "What 's your family name?" "See?" "Right." "Stop playing doctor." "You're a funny one, cop." "Better funny than pathetic." "Let 's leave them alone." "Assholes." "Sonja." "Are you a hooker?" "Leave me alone." "How can you change so much from one world to the other?" "Wait, Sonja!" "Don't go!" "I need you more than ever!" "Sonja!" "So, what do you think?" "Perfect." "In my opinion, way better than those from last election." "At least I don't feel sick like that time." "Well, I think we overdid it a bit with the gay thing." "No way." "It 's politically correct and a growing constituency." "Nice soundtrack, right?" "Deviot, on the top of all charts." "It was discovered by an independent, we stole it and we're making a buck." "The band that 'll play on Saturday?" "Yes, we have to show them." "I wanted to talk about that." "Don't count me in on Saturday." "Not with that madman on the loose." "Come on, it 's just a naughty kid." "Who almost stabbed me to death." "Listen, you work for a multinational company." "There's a lot of money running on this project." "We can't waste a publicity stunt like this one." "All the media will be talking about you, not just our magazines." "I don't know, I could offer an excuse." "People have to understand." "They'll understand that the leader of Young Democracy is a bluff... a spineless faggot." "Okay, tomorrow we'll tender your resignation to the Party." "Enrique will take your place." "What time should I be there Saturday?" "How much do you charge?" "I'll pay for your night and you come with me." "Leave me alone, kid." "Sonja, I just want to talk to you." "You've been talking me to death all night!" "No money could pay for that." "Show me how much you've got." "All right, it 's not much, but at least I love you!" "Shit." "What 's up, man?" "Nice car." "Let me get in." "My mom has forbidden me to talk to strangers." "So?" "A blowjob?" "No, thanks!" "Sonja!" "Sonja!" "Sonja!" "Like that!" "Doggy style!" "Now shut up or I'll shoot you!" "Then you'll be quiet when I fuck your ass!" "Motherfucker!" "See?" "All of you girls are beautiful seen from up here." "Die, demon from the darkness!" "Tell me now you like it doggy style, motherfucker!" "You may stop now, Persian." "Stop." "Is this enough to pay for a whole night?" "My best night." "You don't show it much, but you're pretty strong." "It 's because I'm not what you see." "You are different too... even though you can't remember." "Wait!" "What?" "Let 's go." "Wait a minute." "See that guy?" "That 's me." "And that one is you." "Of course." "Now you remember?" "Remember me now?" "Of course." "You're the boy who stares at me on the subway every morning." "Let 's go." "I'd stare at you for all eternity." "Yeah, that 's nice, but now run, police 'll be here any minute." "Kid, quit staring at me." "You're making me nervous." "I feel powerful by your side." "I wish I could say the same." "I'm feeling like shit." "Let 's study the map carefully." "Where are you hiding, sorcerer?" "I don't feel like playing." "I'm all wrecked." "The blows that bastard gave me hurt like hell." "Don't sleep, I need you awake!" "Look, I'm not your slave." "You guys think we are bitches." "You've got no respect." "It 'll be more difficult without you, but you're right, I can't force you." "If you want, you can stay." "Tomorrow morning you leave." "Time for me to go to bed." "I can't wait until tomorrow." "I've got little time to find the sorcerer." "Fine, then go after him and let me sleep in peace." "But I need a clue, and I don't know whether Javi found the wizard." "Do you have a phone?" "There's a payphone downstairs." "Good night, it was nice to meet you." "The TV!" "They're probably giving some news." "Why don't you go away?" "TV's over there." "See if it works." "How do I...?" "Sleep, my love." "You're exhausted." "I'll get you out of this dump, I swear." "You'll go back with me, we'll kill the sorcerer and go to our world." "Ramón is a very good student." "All of my friends are." "Well, I am." "He's totally into RPG, he's very motivated, but he's not crazy." "Is he a schizo?" "No." "Just a little mixed up." "He thinks that congressman is a dangerous sorcerer... and Carlos José is a wizard, something like that." "Damn you, Javi!" "Yes?" "Victor?" "Ramón, is that you?" "We need to talk." "You gotta help me." "The police and the TV folks were here, and you want my help?" "Don't let me down, you're my last hope." "Okay, we can meet, and I'll tell you what you want to know." "But it 's gotta be now." "I haven't got much time, it 's morning already." "I'll go right now, in my briefs." "Let 's meet at the usual place." "The mall's about to open." "And don't tell anyone." "The Order's henchmen are everywhere." "MURDER ATTEMPT IN CONGRESS" "Victor." "Let 's go." "Waiting by a news stand was a bad idea." "What are you talking about?" "Best place to hide is in plain view." "The best would be to get back to the other dimension." "There, with my Beldar strength, it would all be easier." "Where's the door?" "The door?" "What door?" "Don't you know?" "At least tell me where is the Order's hideout." "I've studied the map carefully and I think that..." "See the town of Zaphiria?" "There's a castle." "What about this village, Toledo?" "You know what I'm talking about?" "Of course." "Do you have any idea of what 's happening?" "Of course I do!" "You're screwed up, I think you've got a mental problem." "This is only a game." "You lost, it 's over." "There they are, Chief." "That 's them." "The boy told us he would wear red, so he'd be more noticeable." "I've still got one day left." "Still got one day and I'll make it!" "If you don't mind, we're gonna shoot the arrest from the escalator." "You guys stay here and don't move a muscle until we're done." "As you wish, Chief Balbuena." "Move it." "I can't count on you." "I'll do it alone." "Listen, I admit I made you suffer, but it was just to piss you off." "I like the others, but you're my pet." "I love it when you throw the dice." "Sometimes I get jealous of your luck." "People like you are happy, they go crazy about any little thing." "Not me." "I need a lot more." "There they are!" "Don't let them out of your sight!" "Beginning to understand?" "Fine." "What are those morons doing?" "!" "He's gonna see them!" "Keep shooting!" "You, with the camera!" "Motherfucker!" "Not like that, you moron!" "There aren't any sorcerers or treasures and shit, Ramón." "Your only curse is being like that." "Red?" "A perfect idiot." "You came in red!" "You betrayed me too, motherfucker?" "What was I gonna do?" "The TV folks are gonna give me a lot of dough!" "Let go of me, you son of a bitch!" "Don't let him escape, goddamit!" "Excuse me!" "Excuse me!" "Are they deaf or what?" "Didn't I tell you to stay put, you retards?" "!" "You guys are here because we called you!" "Don't bust my balls!" "Don't bust your...?" "Let 's go!" "Only one euro!" "Read "La Farola"!" "Come on, buy it!" "Only one euro!" "We don't have tickets!" "We don't, so what?" "Police!" "We're on duty!" "Don't let anyone else come through!" "There he is!" "Freeze!" "Freeze or I'll shoot!" "Everyone stay calm!" "I assure you nothing's gonna happen!" "Open this door!" "Hold the train!" "Search the platform!" "Come on, quick!" "Open the door!" "Police!" "Open it!" "Get up there!" "Come on!" "Where did that bastard go?" "Doesn't seem to be here." "Chief, he's not on the train." "He was seen getting into the tunnel." "Don't let this train move, understand?" "Don't let it move!" "Son of a bitch!" "That son of a bitch!" "Come on, don't stay there!" "Let 's go!" "Quick, Beldar, follow me!" "Come on, hurry!" "You wanna know how I know your name's Beldar?" "I've known you for a long time, from seeing you on the subway!" "Many people call me a rat, a flea, a fuckin' midget!" "I hate those names!" "I am death!" "I'd eat their entrails, I'd stick my head in their navels... and burrow in with all my teeth!" "I saw you on the newspapers and on the TV this morning." "Same thing happened to me." "Exactly the same." "You say you're Beldar, but they say your name's Ramón... like that fat guy on TV who says he's your friend." "Well, this is my home." "What do you think?" "Stay as long as you like." "You just gotta remember my name and you'll have a friend forever." "But sit down, man!" "Gotcha!" "Fat as a cow!" "This is a good one." "Very tasty." "Some of them have green eyes... but, if you want an advice from a friend, stay away from them!" "My mouth's watering already." "What a feast." "Some people don't like it." "And they call me crazy." "Nobody ever calls me by my name!" "Let 's celebrate." "A little music... I use my toothbrush every day I clean my teeth and avoid decay I use my toothbrush every day I clean my teeth" "And avoid decay" "And avoid decay" "Always" "There, it 's done." "I like them like this, crispy." "Learn from me." "Meat makes me nauseous when it 's too rare, even a tasty rat like this." "I don't like it when it melts in your mouth." "Gotta chew on it!" "The best thing about eating meat is having to chew it." "Our teeth are the best thing we have, don't you think?" "It 's tasty." "Delicious, isn't it?" "I can roast it a little longer for you, if you want." "This is disgusting!" "Disgusting!" "What is this place?" "You're having a fit." "I've seen it." "This is all in my head." "This is not happening." "Victor was right, I'm mad, I'm screwed up!" "You're not mad!" "It 's something else!" "I've felt it, relax!" "Don't give up, pal!" "Don't give up, goddamit!" "Wait." "Here." "You'll feel better." "This is what they gave me when I had a fit." "You'll see everything more clearly soon." "Open your mouth." "I'm sorry I had to bite you, but it was necessary." "But don't worry, my teeth are clean." "Which one's my camera?" "This one." "Okay, Carlos José, you may sit down, if you wish." "So, have you managed to establish contact with him?" "I know that he's communicating through an interspatial wave and I should have an answer soon." "Great." "Let's remind everyone of the phone numbers our viewers can..." "That won't be necessary." "As I said, the interstellar waves... will arrive directly from hyperspace to my brain." "Well, just in case, we'll remind everyone of the phone numbers..." "lt won't be necessary." "Of course... but let's remind the phone numbers so that people can call the show." "It won't be necessary, since the answer, if it should come... and it will probably come, will arrive through the cosmic waves." "Well, as you also know, we are offering a reward... to anyone who gives us any information on his where abouts." "The phone numbers of "The Human Pack" are 802-600-600... 802-600-400..." "Beldar!" "Beldar!" "Don't leave me here, Beldar!" "Take me with you!" "Take me to your world." "I need to get out of here." "You're lost, I know... but I'll help you find your world." "No one's gonna stop me." "I used to live in another place, but I can't remember where." "Who are you?" "What do you mean, who am I?" "!" "I'm your friend!" "Don't tell me you've forgotten my name?" "Of course not." "Beldar, my friend!" "Come on, let 's get you home." "I don't know how." "But I do." "You gotta use this dagger to kill the sorcerer." "How do you want me to kill it?" "Like this, cutting his throat." "Or I'll kill him for you." "We're friends, aren't we?" "But I don't know where to find him." "Do you know where this is?" "The wizard!" "You're his helper!" "You can take me to him!" "To Carlos Josê?" "Of course." "Follow me." "But first, you gotta brush your teeth." "What do you mean, it can't be?" "I've been waiting here since 8!" "No, since 8!" "Let go of that, you moron!" "Didn't you want to talk to Carlos Josê?" "So you saw Ramón hitchhiking near Murcia?" "No, thank you very much for your help." "Anyone else on the line?" "Yes, we've got a call that seems to be from Ramón Beldar himself." "I'm..." "I'm about to establish communication." "I can feel it." "Carlos José?" "I hear him now." "Loud and clear." "Inside my mind, his voice is reverberating." "Carlos Josê, is that you?" "Is that him?" "I'm Beldar." "I'm with your helper." "Yes." "Yes, yes, it 's him." "Quiet!" "You could disrupt the trance." "Listen, we've met in the other dimension, remember?" "I remember perfectly." "In Raticulín, in Ganymede." "Then you can help me." "How do I get back?" "To Ganymede?" "The door." "Where is the door?" "The cosmic door?" "Yes, yes, the cosmic door!" "Ask him where is he now, Carlos Josê!" "It 's very important!" "What idea is that of disrupting the communication like that?" "Do you want to damage my communication... mechanism permanently?" "Where do I find the door to get out of this world?" "Ramón, think about how got in it." "The same way." "Remember the last time you got in it." "I understand." "I'm going there now." "Going where, Ramón?" "Where?" "Only I can hear him!" "Only me, no one else." "Someone else there?" "I'll hang up." "There's no one else here, Ramón." "I'm alone." "I've got the power." "You can trust me." "Take it easy." "The Fourth Coming is on our side." "I come from Raticulín." "My folks came from Andrômeda." "I've got the power." "Carlos Josê?" "Carlos Josê?" "Where do you think you're going?" "Why?" "You wanna die like a rat?" "Hello, police?" "GRAND HALL" "I've lost it." "I've lost contact." "I can't hear anything." "We lost the signal." "It doesn't matter, Beldar." "No one will stand in your way." "I'll chew their entrails!" "This is your fault!" "You clown!" "The signal is back." "Ramón?" "Carlos Josê?" "Ramón!" "Where do you think you're going, you rat?" "You can't catch me!" "I'll destroy you!" "Go, I'll take care of him!" "Thanks, friend!" "Carlos Josê, I'm about to reach the door!" "Silence!" "Olivares, the pillow!" "Ramón, talk to us." "We can hear you." "Communicate." "One last question:" "another person, the person I love, can use the door as well?" "He's here." "Quiet, you dogs!" "Ramón!" "Quiet!" "Quiet!" "You traitors!" "Dogs!" "Son of a bitch, who do you think you are?" "Bastard!" "I'll kill him and come back for you, Sonja." "I promise." "You've got nowhere to go, Beldar!" "Listen, don't try anything funny!" "Get out, quick!" "Come on!" "Out of my way!" "Run, Beldar!" "Run!" "Run!" "Remember your friend when you get home!" "No!" "Bastards!" "Assholes!" "Faggots!" "I'll kill you all!" "Kid, don't do anything stupid." "Kid, don't do anything stupid!" "Kid, you're crazy!" "Goddamit!" "He's gonna kill himself!" "What are we gonna do?" "Knock it down!" "Freeze!" "Nobody move!" "He said a guy broke through the window and stole his wife's wig." "And where did he go?" "!" "Chief..." "And he also stole a raincoat." "Bad night, sweetie?" "As long as it 's still night." "Dammit!" "Soon the sun will come up, and I won't make it!" "Will you do me a favor?" "Even two, gorgeous." "Will you tear my heart out?" "All right, all right!" "Tear my heart out!" "I don't want to be cursed for all eternity!" "Hey, take it easy!" "WATERFALL LAKE" "How could I not see it before?" "Dammit!" "It 's me." "I had to wear a disguise." "My, what a surprise." "Didn't know you were a drag queen." "The door is the lake, not the pool!" "What door?" "I don't know what you're talking about." "Never mind, I'll explain on the way." "Come on!" "Wait, goddamit!" "What do you want?" "I want you to jump in the lake with me, that 's all." "Look, wait here a minute then I'll do whatever you want." "No." "Where are you going, my love?" "I told you, I'll be right back." "Wait for me here." "Okay?" "I won't be long." "OCTAGON GROUP" "I'm back." "Let 's go." "See the water spurting?" "That 's a waterfall upside down." "The door to leave this world is there." "Leave this world?" "Of course we'll leave this world if we jump in there." "We're gonna die of pneumonia, you moron, or from some infection!" "You gotta believe me." "Don't you want me to kill the sorcerer in time?" "If you don't wanna come, I'll come back later to get you." "No!" "Wait." "I can't, but I promise I'll be back." "See those fireworks in the sky?" "The sorcerer fired them to light the lake." "You need to wait until the fireworks are over, or they'll find you." "What is this nonsense?" "I hear every shit you say, and, when I say one thing, you don't trust me?" "Come on, go." "Go to the other world." "No." "Don't say that." "I've always trusted you." "You saved my life so many times, Sonja." "A while ago, for instance, I was about to tear my heart out... but, when I looked at the map, I remembered you there, by the lake." "You saved me again." "Do you understand now, Sonja?" "It would be cowardly to end my life like that, leaving you here... in this sorry and dirty world." "I had to fight for you until the very end, my love." "You're not a whore, Sonja." "You're the most wonderful woman in this or in any other world... more beautiful than the great jewel of Hecor... more valiant than the 100 Titans of Salísar... and I'll take you to the place where you are a queen." "And should I fail... it 'll have been worth dying just to be by your side." "Stop saying nonsense." "Shut up!" "Children." "Remember the cops from the other night?" "They've recognized you and they're after you." "They talked to me." "Not only them." "A lot of people are after you." "I know." "The thousand henchmen of the Order." "They are on their way here." "The thousand of them." "I saw them by the lake." "Go away." "Then let 's jump in the lake!" "Don't be a fool." "They'd catch you before you could get your ass wet." "Wait." "Are you sure it 's really the sorcerer behind these fireworks?" "The sorcerer?" "Of course, man." "How many times do I have to tell you?" "Come on, go away!" "Of course." "Of course!" "There it is!" "The town of Zaphiria is the amusement park!" "I love you, Sonja, you are the best!" "I'll destroy the sorcerer, my love." "I know he's in the park." "But, if I fail, promise me you'll look for the door and go away." "You go away before I change my mind, retard!" "I will make it." "I promise!" "ROCK NIGHT WITH DEVIOT" "YOUNG DEMOCRACY" "BROUGHT TO YOU BY OCTAGON GROUP AND "SHOCK!" MAGAZINE" "I'll destroy you, accursed sorcerer." "Where is the boy?" "First, the money." "He was here until a while ago." "I couldn't stall him any longer." "I thought you were going to be quicker." "He's probably still around!" "He's wearing a blond wig." "Looks like a drag queen." "The whore said the boy is around." "He's wearing a blond wig." "Keep your eyes peeled." "He's around here." "And keep your mouth shut... except to do the things you do in your line of work." "Why every one of you is a comedian when you're around a whore?" "That 's not even funny." "Congressman!" "Congressman, how are you?" "Isn't it against the law to campaign 15 days before the election?" "Look, if you hear me asking for a single vote tonight, denounce me." "I'm here to see my friends' show, that 's all." "Isn't it immoral for Young Democracy to be sponsored by Octagon Group... the multinational company that put your friends on the market?" "Why immoral?" "Our party is funded in an honest and transparent way." "Excuse me." "After everything that happened, don't you fear some nasty surprise tonight?" "Well, you gotta learn to face that kind of surprise bravely." "Damn!" "I wasn't expecting so many people, I'm scared shitless!" "Adolfo, everything's gonna be fine." "The floor is all under surveillance!" "Break a leg." "After Deviot, with all of you, Adolfo del Prado!" "Good evening, Madrid!" "I love you!" "My, you're really rocking!" "Fine, because this is only the beginning!" "When I was on my way here... a reporter asked me whether I thought a serious politician... would need to set up this circus to get people's attention." "When he said "people", he meant you, and he meant to say "the riffraff"..." ""people with no judgment"!" "But I..." "I think you know very well what you want." "That 's why you're here, because you are people, the kinda people I like!" "Adolfo!" "Adolfo!" "Adolfo!" "Four years ago... a joke called Young Democracy was born." "We weren't serious then." "You, who voted us into office, weren't either!" "Now things are changed, and they see the joke as a serious menace." "We became serious all of a sudden!" "They need..." "I know what you are!" "...for politics to be this farce..." "You're with the Order!" "Damn you!" "...made of a mindless droning that keeps youth segregated!" "But we will open as many windows we need to open... to let some fresh air in this country!" "Cowards!" "Shoot me instead!" "Here!" "Here!" "The assassin is here!" "He's here!" "Adolfo!" "Talk to me!" "Why did you do it?" "!" "Adolfo..." "Assassin!" "Assassin!" "I didn't kill him." "Two sewer rats, Isthar e Slinker... two mercenaries hired by the Order of the Thousand Eyes did." "Netheril was right." "It 's a parasitic cult." "It feeds off man." "always did and always will, in this or in any other dimension." "The sorcerers use people as pawns in a game." "ALL ABOUT COURTROOM CONAN They used me like that." "They got me confused and they mixed me up in this." "They wanted me to take the blame and be destroyed... but I'm alive and I can accuse them." "They killed Adolfo del Prado... to strengthen their new sorcerer, the newcomer!" "AMUSEMENT PARK ADOLFO DEL PRADO SHOT DEAD" "Cowards!" "Shoot me instead!" "These images we're showing were seen around the world." "Many see in them the genuine cause for the spectacular rise... of Young Democracy in the last election." "Anyway, not everyone would have done what you did, sir." "Don't call me "sir", please." "I feel like the old guard already." "No, I don't think that's really important." "My reaction that night was anything but exceptional." "Anyone would have done the same thing I did... to try and save such a close friend." "You think I am crazy because you cannot see... to understand, like me, what 's happening around you... right under your very noses." "Nothing is what it seems!" "You're playing as well, just like the others!" "By Crom!" "Can't you see?" "!" "Reality is a lie!" "Beldar!" "My friend!" "Great!" "You're in here too!" "Thank you." "I had lost my sword." "Friend, act inconspicuously." "Pretend you're crazy." "That 's the only way to escape from here." "I've got the map that shows the way back." "Sonja is probably waiting." "Don't let her wait any longer!" "Go ahead, Beldar." "We can do it." "CAPTIONS BY VIDEOLAR"
