"[Music playing]" "[Battle cry]" "Die, barbarian pig." "Leave this land and never return." "Doran?" "Doran, is that you?" "Who goes there?" "Be you friend or foe?" "Show yourself, coward." "Show yourself and do battle." "[Battle cry]" "[Man laughing]" "The amulet, it is not protecting me from harm." "It knows you are safe." "Doran." "You know nothing of honor." "All is fair in love and in war, my sweet Doran." "Now, the war is over." "Our bond is strong, my beloved." "I do love you." "I, too, love thee." "We shall always be together, for eternity." "Doran, I'm worried for our people." "There's so much evil and pain in the land." "Thieves grow from every tree and every stream." "The land is pure." "It is the hearts of men that are evil." "This amulet shall protect you from harm." "Power and strength fill me." "It is as if I, too, am a great warrior." "Lystra, beware its power." "The Wizard made this known to my grandfather." "Perhaps this wizard is but a tale from your head." "Wizards are not to be taken in jest," "But be posessed of powers of the heavens and the underworld." "Where is this wizard, then, and why does he" "Not show his face to me?" "He shows his face to none, and he is a she, showing only" "Her face to those she chooses." "A she?" "My grandfather told me the story when I was a young boy." "She appeared before his eyes to save him from certain death." "He vowed never to lost sight of the amulet." "And so it has been bequeathed to me." "My vow is to use its power to protect my people," "To teach them honesty and bravery, to seek the truth." "And if this is done, then the people of Armana" "Shall be protected by its power." "So you have done." "They worship you, Doran." "Worship is not what I seek, for I am not a god." "All I ask is that they listen and follow." "Their lives, then, are their own." "You become wiser with each day." "I am honored to be your queen." "My grandfather gave me fair warning." "And you, too, must beware its power, for with a thought" "One can travel great journeys to lands" "Never seen by thine eyes, a land where one may never return." "So dream not of lands other than this, or you" "Shall leave me forever." "The power shall make us great warriors." "And with it, we shall build a new world for our children." "[Music playing]" "[Imitating bird sound]" "Bartaga." "Kiss me, great warrior." "Kiss me." "I have come to hunt with my king." "I have no time for sexual foolishness." "Doran, my friend, today is ripe for the hunt." "And so your wine shall speak." "She would make a great wife for a warrior" "For her bravery is more than most men possess." "Bartaga is a warrior, not a lover." "And I, my friend, am both." "Perhaps the boar are better than a woman's tongue." "Yes, but what will keep you warm at night?" "[Inaudible] hunter." "[Laughter]" "And it does not screech in my ear." "Oh." "Oh." "[Magical twinkling]" "Mandrak." "Mandrak." "I found a treasure, an amulet of great wealth." "Oh." "Where?" "A woman holds it, a barbarian queen." "Her name is Lystra." "Lystra, the warrior's woman?" "He warned us never to return." "We should go back." "Where is she?" "By the stream at the edge of the forest, not far." "They'll be sure to kill us if we go there." "Coward." "She's very beautiful, Mandrak, a tasty" "Tidbit for a hungry man." "She's [inaudible]." "He swore that if we ever came back..." "Silence!" "Take me to her." "That amulet will make us all rich men." "Ah, Lystra." "If a man truly loves a woman, he will never leave her." "But you must have a tree, for your man must leave to hunt" "Or you shall go hungry." "You two speak with idle words." "If I had a man like Doran, he could leave for years," "And I would wait for him." "But you do not have him, do you?" "Only Lystra has that good fortune." "There." "[Whispering]" "Are you mad?" "Silence, Wolf." "You give me the women, or I'll cut your tongues out." "There are no men that I can see, just women and us." "[Quiet laughter]" "Do thoughts of sadness fill your head?" "It is nothing, my lady." "Surely it is something, for I can see it in your eyes." "I cannot hide from you." "You see into my very soul." "It is Bartaga." "He does not even know that I am alive." "A man such as Bartaga has a duty to himself" "Before he can be with a woman." "He just needs to see the magic inside you that he is missing." "You are right." "I am worthy." "It is he who has not opened his eyes." "[Laughter]" "[Yelling]" "[Screaming]" "She's only a woman." "Come now, barbarian." "You can do better than that." "Now, die." "Doran." "Doran." "Oh, my head." "Nothing my wine cannot cure." "Lystra, she's in danger." "Come on." "The wife of the great warrior Doran, the mightiest barbarian" "Of them all." "Ha!" "Where is he now?" "How shall he save you?" "Will he even want you after I am finished with you?" "You shall die by his sword." "No, no." "No." "No." "No." "No." "Doran!" "Do you not like the touch of cold steel upon your cheek?" "On your body?" "Was it not as you expected, barbarian queen?" "Mandrak, we must leave before Doran finds us," "Or we're doomed." "Doomed?" "I will show you doomed." "Oh, I felt her spirit pass through me." "It is as if I possess a new life." "I have heard many wondrous tales," "And now you will make me a rich man." "Make us rich, Mandrak." "Tell me more of the amulet's powers." "More?" "Tell me." "I must know, or you will die by my sword, jackal." "It has the power of the heavens," "Master, the spirits of the underworld, cursed strength." "It is said that..." "Do you take me for a fool?" "No, Mandrak, no, it is the truth." "You know as well as I. That crystal" "Protects Doran and his people." "It could bring us a talent of gold coins." "It will bring more than that, [inaudible]." "It will bring me my salvation, what" "I have desired all my life!" "No." "No." "No!" "[Lamenting]" "Prisal." "Prisal." "Who did this to you?" "Mandrak." "Mandrak?" "My prize of battle." "They did not die without a fight." "He... he did this to my beloved." "I'll kill him with my bare hands." "I swear, Doran." "No." "It is I who must avenge her death." "I will not rest until Mandrak dies." "I swear to you this." "Your thoughts must be clear for battle." "My thoughts were clear before you did that." "Come, we have no time." "Since my thoughts are clear, what of the amulet?" "Did not the Wizard give your ancestors fair warning" "Never to lose sight of it?" "You speak the truth." "Will she not be a little angry?" "It is I who lost the amulet." "It is I who must have to pay." "It was not you, my friend." "It was Lystra who lost the amulet." "Surely the Wizard will look upon this with a fair eye." "I have no fear of death." "A brave warrior, indeed..." "Who, then, will I hunt with?" "When the Wizard finds us, we may never hunt again." "I will stand by your side, Wizard or no Wizard." "[Birds calling]" "Birds, only birds." "Come." "We must not stop." "[Birds calling angrily]" "[Inaudible] I have awaited this day, barbarian." "You die." "[Battle cry]" "[Men shouting]" "Stay back." "No!" "[Crazy laughter]" "[Howling]" "[Laughter]" "You are a brave one." "What do they call you?" "Doran." "Doran." "[Laughter]" "The King of Armana?" "Were you lost in the forest like all of them?" "He dies by my sword." "Moltar would be pleased." "Psst." "Psst, barbarian." "I know who you are." "Caught you the same way they caught me, I wager." "What are you doing in these parts?" "I'm searching for a murderer." "Murderer?" "Got plenty of 'em right here." "Bloodthirsty vermin, they are." "That one, watch out for him." "He'd just as soon rip the heart right out of you if you" "Look at him the wrong way." "[Men laughing and whooping]" "Moltar, god of the underworld, I send to you this sacrifice" "Of flesh and blood." "[Cheering]" "Tonight, you meet Moltar, and I have the honor." "Strip him to the skin." "[Laughter]" "Why do you look so surprised, barbarian?" "Have you never seen a wizard before?" "You are the Wizard?" "I have heard only tales." "You must hide before they see you." "They cannot see me." "Wizard, free me." "Free you?" "Why should I do that?" "You are a healthy-looking mortal, aren't you?" "It is a pity, being captured by these heathens." "Where is my crystal amulet?" "I lost it." "You lost it?" "I saved your grandfather's life." "I gave him that amulet in the hopes that one day one... one" "Man in this putrid land would..." "Would set an example of honor." "And all you can say is you lost it." "That amulet was to protect his descendants for many lifetimes." "You have broken the chain, Doran." "So kill me now and be done with it." "I do not deserve to live." "Oh, you are quick to die, barbarian." "To kill you would be too easy." "To kill you would not replace my amulet, now would it?" "It has been with me for centuries." "Your from this day forward is to return the amulet to me." "If you do not, then I shall be forced to curse your people." "You leave my people out of this." "If you fail to return it, then I" "Shall cast an evil and wicked plague over your tribe." "They will burn with hatred and disease" "Upon hearing Doran's name." "This is not my people's fault." "Their wounds festering from their hate" "For their king... oh, yes!" "You will find the amulet." "You will find the man that belongs" "To that hand on your belt." "The man you seek is in this world" "No longer." "You must travel to another time to find him." "You must travel to a land called the future." "It is very different than the forest." "It is tomorrow's tomorrow." "But if you are quick of wit and brave of heart and fight" "With honor you may triumph." "But you must return the amulet to me." "Mandrak has the amulet, and it will make him a mighty warrior." "The amulet has no power in the hands of evil, Doran." "Only in the presence of honor and of a king" "With a noble heart does it have such magic." "Behold." "A sword." "It will take you to your destination." "And for the love of gods, do not lose it." "Enough chatter." "Be free, barbarian." "And heed this as your last warning." "Your evil shall end by my hands." "Penny, please, when are you gonna listen to me?" "I'm telling you." "You're asking for trouble." "Trust me on this." "Brice, just chill out." "Turn the camera on, and no matter" "What, just keep it rolling." "Cogs will have a brick when he sees this." "Just remember, this is all your idea." "Rolling." "I'm Penny Price, Channel 5 Action News," "Reporting to you from the site of a gang-related shooting" "Which occurred earlier today behind me." "Apparently, the warehouse owner was threatened" "To pay for what the street gang, The Gladiators," "Calls safety insurance, which means he pays" "The gangs large sums of money to stop" "Them from destroying his door." "Well, as you can see, he didn't make this week's payment." "This is just one gang-related incident in over 239" "That have happened in our city this year." "What I would like to know is whatever happened to morals," "Ethics, and common decency?" "What we need is a positive role model, a hero you might say," "Who could rally the citizens to take" "Action and make a difference." "Hey, everybody, I'm on TV." "Penny!" "You sons of bitches." "Let go of me." "Come on, guys." "The witch." "Find the witch." "What do you want with me?" "You know, every time me and my pals turn on the TV," "There you are, giving us a bad rap, Penny Price." "Consider this a warning." "Penny, I'm coming!" "[Inaudible] keep this camera rolling." "[Thunder]" "Who is out here?" "Free her." "What is this shit?" "Get him, Crank, find out." "[Inaudible]." "[Laughter]" "You gotta be kidding." "Go on, kill the fuck." "Go on." "Get up." "Get up, [inaudible]." "Your swords match your manhood." "You take him, Swank." " What?" " Bye." "Hey." "You suck." "Now that you're finished changing," "Can we get back to the station?" "He looks like he's never even seen a fence before." "So what's the big deal?" "He's probably a convict." "Look at him." "He could be dangerous, Penny." "He saved my life, Brice." "Look, we've got a deadline, and you're worried about this guy?" "I don't believe it." "Penny, please, we gotta get back to the station, so let's go." "Just go without me, Brice." "What?" "Look, go without me." "Tell Cogs I got tied up." "All you need is the tape, right?" "All right, but I don't like it." "Hey, wait a minute." "Where are you going?" "Wait." "What's that thing you carry around on your belt?" "A hand." "I kind of figured that." "Whose hand is it?" "Mandrak's, I've come to find him." "Why do you have his hand, and what are" "You gonna do when you find him?" "Battle." "Oh, don't tell me." "You're from some Nordic country, and you're" "Here to catch a criminal and take him back with you." "The Wizard has given me an impossible task." "Where do I find this man in this land?" "Is this the underworld?" "Sometimes, it sure seems like it." "Hey, where are you from, anyway?" "Armana." "Armana?" "I don't think I've heard of that." "I've come to find Mandrak." "OK, well, welcome to LA." "LA?" "What is LA?" "Los Angeles?" "I'm sure you've heard of it." "No." "Hey, wait." "THUG (ON RECORDING):" "Hey, everybody, I'm on TV." "You're history, bitch." "[Crazy laughter]" "What's going on here?" "DORAN (ON RECORDING):" "Free her." "THUG (ON RECORDING):" "What is this shit?" "Get him, Crank, find out." "He's something, ain't he, Cogs?" "I mean, he's like a friggin Conan." "He saved Penny from a real bad scene." "This is some kind of stunt she's pulling, isn't it?" "How can you say that?" "Look, Cogs, I was there, too." "I'm telling ya." "We don't know who this guy is." "He came out of nowhere and beat the shit" "Out of those gang bangers." "He was incredible." "I haven't seen anything like that since Superman." "Let me know when it's finished." "Right, whatever you say, Cogs." "Yes." "[Phone ringing]" "Hello?" "What is it, Brice?" "I just wanted to make sure that gorilla was in his cage." "He's not a gorilla, and I'm fine." "In fact, we just went shopping for some new clothes." "Is that all, Brie?" "I just wanted to make sure you were OK, OK?" "I'll call you later." "Bye." "Bye." "[Slow music playing]" "May I have this dance?" "So... so why do you want this Mandrak so badly?" "He murdered my wife." "Oh, I am sorry." "He killed her and stole the crystal amulet." "I must return it to the Wizard or my tribe" "Will be cursed by a plague." "Well, there are treatments and medications for that sort" "Of thing, you know." "I cannot wait." "Hey, look, where..." "Where do you think" "You're gonna find this guy?" "This is a big city." "You'll get lost." "I can help you." "We have ways of tracking people, especially criminals." "[Sirens]" "Hurry, you fool." "[Phone ringing]" "Hello?" "Brice, you're just the person I wanted to talk to." "I knew that." "It's our karma." "Look, I need you to dig up some information for me" "From the computer." "Mandrak?" "One hand?" "Yeah, I..." "I got it." "I'll get on it as soon as I finish the tape." "Oh, Penny." "What, Brice?" "I just wanted to tell you that, uh..." "I" "Just wanted to... nothing." "Everything looks real good here." "Good, bye." "OK, now, I want to do a story on you." "Come on." "Come on." "Come on." "Come on." "Perfect." "Yes." "If I'm gonna get this story, I might" "As well go all the way, right?" "I want you to tell me about your home." "PENNY (ON TAPE):" "What we need is a positive role model," "A hero you might say, who could rally the citizens to take" "Action and make a difference." "I'm Penny Price, Channel 5 Action News." "So what do you think?" "Air it, tonight, and I'd better not regret this." "Not a chance, Cogs." "Not a chance." "What do you two want?" "A drink, is there a problem with that?" "Yeah, you got a problem with that?" "The usual." "Let's see the cash." "That is the last of our money, Mandrak." "A moment of pleasure." "Ah." "Destiny has cursed us both, my friend." "We are no better off here than we were at home." "We have no home but here." "There is no turning back." "You said the crystal would make us rich." "It is not my fault the crystal has lost its power." "My luck will change." "It must." "Oh, I must be a mess." "I'm going to take a shower." "Make yourself at home." "Listen to this, and I'll be back." "Come to me." "I need a woman." "There ain't no way you're gonna get me back in that dump again." "Hey, watch the merchandise, honey." "Last time you did that is the last time." "You're too rough for me, sugar." "And besides, if you ain't got the money," "Then there ain't nothing for you, honey." "Master, remember, this is not the forest." "The forest." "[Evil laugh]" "[Silly music playing]" "Sorry, Penny, no luck." "[Busy signal]" "Damn it, Penny, get off the phone!" "What we need is a positive role model, a hero you might say," "Who could rally the citizens to take" "Action and make a difference." "I must be crazy." "Nah, this is exactly what gives KPTC the cutting edge, Cogs." "It's about time you got some balls." "Watch it, mister, or I'll have your ass" "On that sewer plant special for the next four weeks." "Easy, Cogs, I was just joking." "PENNY (ON TV):" "He didn't make this week's payment." "This is just one gang-related incident in over 239" "That have happened in our city this year." "It appears that man does not change." "PENNY (ON TV):" "Whatever happened to morals," "Ethics, and common decency?" "[Laughter]" "Here it comes." "THUG (ON TV):" "What's going on here?" "Doran." "Doran." "It can't be." "Why does it seem like I know you?" "It's almost frightening." "There is no reason for you to fear when with me." "When you find him, what then?" "If I am triumphant in battle, I must return home." "Do not leave me, Doran." "Stay." "Please, stay." "That was him." "That was Doran." "I know who it was, you idiot." "How did he get here?" "He's come for revenge." "By all the gods." "What are we going to do about him?" "Mandrak, what do we do?" "Don't be a fool." "He does not know where we are." "It's only a matter of time before he finds us," "And then he will chop off my head." "We must kill him first." "Kill him before he finds us." "Kill him before he finds us." "We kill him first." "Yes." "Yes." "This Penny Price, she will lead us to Doran." "You boys are in luck today." "I just got in a new shipment." "Yeah, anything you can possibly want, I got." "Let's take a look." "Hmm, yeah, oh, M-16s, AK-47s, Uzis, oh, look," "Magazines up the ying yang." "Hey, hey, special grenades, boom, gentlemen," "Pick your poison." "Something simple, but effective." "Oh, hmm, aha, here's a beauty." "Yeah, this'll take on your barbarian." "Here, try it out." "I will take one of those." "Yes, watch." "Here." "You like 'em small, huh?" "Well, you know what they say, a guy's gun" "Is as big as his prick." "Hey, just joking, you guys." "OK, we're gonna get back down to business." "Uh, that'll be, uh, four bills all together." "And I'm gonna tell you right now," "You're not gonna get a better deal anywhere on the streets." "Hey, watch where you guys are pointing those things." "Have a nice day." "Who the hell are you?" "Where is the woman, Penny Price?" "What do you want with her?" "I ask the questions." "You answer." "Just tell us where she is." "Damn you, get out of here, or I'll..." "I'll have" "Every cop I know up your ass pulling" "Out your fucking [inaudible]." "You will answer now, or I will cut" "Off your fingers one by one." "You go to hell." "No!" "Very well." "Your daughter, it would be a pity if she were to die." "Now, tell me where the woman is." "Cogs would kill me if he knew I had this." "Cogs?" "Is you OK?" "They want Penny." "Who wants Penny?" "Penny." "Don't worry, Penny, I'm coming." "This is yours." "My hand." "The amulet, where is it?" "I don't have it." "You're a liar and a murderer." "It's hidden." "Where?" "Somewhere close." "Hey, I'll take you there." "[Gunshot]" "Give me the weapon." "Come on." "Now you die, barbarian." "PENNY:" "Doran?" "Who are these men?" "Stop." "Move away, barbarian, or I'll kill" "Her right before your eyes." "No." "Do as I say." "Your sword is no match for these weapons." "I bid you farewell." "No." "Doran." "Kill him." "He has left you here to die." "Die?" "I have this." "Doctor, come on!" "Move it!" "Come on." "Where is Mandrak?" "Where is Mandrak?" "Speak!" "Where's Penny?" "Mandrak has captured her." "He will lead me to him." "He looks dead to me." "He dies when I want him to die." "OK, OK." "I'll go with you." "You?" "Yeah, me." "What?" "You got a problem with that?" "You do not look like a warrior." "Oh, yeah?" "Let me tell you something, pal." "I can handle myself." "Then together we shall do battle." "Battle?" "Well, yeah, battle." "I think I know where we can find this slime." "It's a little, nice place you got here, huh?" "What do you want?" "I'm looking for a man, a man with one hand." "Have you seen him here?" "Yeah, I've seen him, damn trouble maker." "Who the fuck are you?" "Hey, look, don't matter who I am." "Where can I find this guy?" "How the hell would I know?" "Look what he did to my TV." "Next time he comes in here, I'm gonna kill him." "So beat it, before I do the same thing to you." "All right, relax." "What?" "For a minute there, I almost thought you were a cop." "Look, I'm not interested, all right?" "You're looking for Mandrak." "You're interested." "All right, talk to me." "I'm gonna cost you, sugar." "You're beginning to look familiar to me," "Someone I knew a long time ago." "You pig." "Let me down." "Perhaps you can put me on the television, make me famous," "Like the movie stars." "If that's what you want, I can rearrange it." "Just let me down." "That's not all that I want." "Allow me to introduce myself, Mandrak the Magnificent," "At your service." "Mandrak?" "You're the one he's..." "The man with one hand." "It is indeed I." "Oh, God." "This place gives me the creeps." "It's a trap!" "Mandrak." "There she is, barbarian." "Free her." "I give you this chance, for I am a fair man." "No, Doran, don't come any closer." "Let me nail him." "[Gun clicking]" "Damn, I knew I forgot something." "By the gods." "Doran." "Wait." "Wait." "Hey, are you all right?" "Yes, I'm fine." "Its out of control, Brice." "Maybe you should go." "Are you kidding me?" "Show yourself, coward." "Stay here." "Run." "You took my hand, barbarian, but gave me a weapon." "I'm gonna get you, creep." "She was delectable, barbarian." "Her body was all mine to do with whatever I please." "That's really why you came back, isn't it?" "Well, the amulet is useless, dead and lifeless, just" "Like she was when I left her." "Your evil shall end by my sword!" "There is no way back for you, barbarian." "Welcome to hell." "I wonder if hope is lost for all mankind." "No, it's not." "You and I are no different." "It doesn't matter when it is or where we are," "We'll both make damn sure that hope stays where it" "Belongs, in our hearts forever." "[Penny crying]" "Our love shall be for an eternity." "You OK, Penny?" "He wasn't such a bad guy after all." "OK, look, turn the camera on, and no matter what..." "No matter what, keep it rolling." "Got it." "Rolling." "The end to a story of gallantry and heroism, not" "To mention sacrifice..." "The streets" "Are rid of one more malignancy." "And the world has only the memory of a great man" "Who some would consider a king." "This is Penny Price, Channel 5 Action News." "[Music playing]"
