我們幹掉巴比倫人
我們幹掉美索不達米亞人
我們幹掉亞述人
邁錫尼人、閃族人
但是…
我們一直沒機會
幹掉
阿卡得人
先砍手還先砍腳
希望神會憐憫你
因為我弟弟可不會憐憫你
我沒事
能當我哥算你好運
片名：魔蠍大帝 Sokidon Proudly Presents
在金字塔時代之前
東方崛起一支強悍的遊牧部落
橫掃古老世界的蠻荒大地
按照部落習俗
他們推舉強者為王
他名叫曼能
曼能刀法如神，武功蓋世
身邊有一位巫師
能預言每場戰役的勝負
曼能大肆剷除異己
倖存的對手寥寥可數
肅靜 父王叫你們肅靜
不要講話
大家聚集在此
就應該摒棄成見
趁著為時未晚
殘存的部落
應該團結抵抗暴君
他有巫師協助
誰也不是他的對手
巫師…要是死掉，怎麼辦
現在計劃太遲了點
我襲擊過曼能的車隊
截斷他的補給線
但是他依舊勢如破竹
我不會派我的部下去白白送死
你還有什麼部下？巴煞
你已經一無所有
有的只是一堆石頭和黃沙
我若不是帝王
你又為何向我下跪
巴煞，衛士
阿卡得人
還以為他們早就絕種了
他們是最後的阿卡得人
他們會送巫師上黃泉
你相信這種為錢殺人的部族
別小看他們，他們是世代相傳
訓練有素的刺客
他們開出什麼條件，父王
廿顆雞血紅寶
那是我們最後的財寶 住口
要是他們剷除巫師
你們作不作戰
一言為定
只要我們還有一口氣在
巫師必死無疑
刺客
他…
我們免費奉送
日落前會到曼能的大本營
你什麼時候要把它換掉
別理他，他不是有意的
馬比較快 可是駱駝比較聰明
他交給我
活得自由
死得光榮
住手，聽我說，我是祭司
放了我，我用五種語言賜福你們
你會用五種語言尖叫
馬賊 等一下
喂，我沒那麼重
小心那個胖子，他在你後面
不管你是誰，放我下來
謝謝你，好心的人 安靜
我安全回去，你重重有賞
巫師的帳蓬
撤退
讓開
別讓他跑了
你被出賣了，馬沙亞斯
你知道我的名字 還有你來的目的
他在帳蓬裡
你，到後面去
生擒到阿卡得人
實屬難得
聽說你們的忍功一流
你要是不死，別忘了教我
你的威風現在跑哪去了
你…背叛自己的父親
對，他當時非常震驚
從他的表情可以看出來
我以我父親的首級
向大王效忠
我相信你的忠心 這個還沒死
漂亮
帶他過來
活得自由
死得光榮，哥哥
現在…
要怎麼處置他？
他今晚命不該絕
是嗎？
走著瞧 他不會死在你手上
也不會死在你部下手上
你預見這樣的景象
一意孤行只會招來橫禍
神今晚眷顧他
只有神？
傷腦筋了
要送你歸西，又不能親自動手
厲害吧？
用煙把火蟻熏出巢穴
來享用我們的項上人頭
你覺得好笑 有一點
因為我逃得掉，而你呢
只能等死，誰叫你昨晚丟下我
那你還不逃 看到那個守衛沒
他猛灌犛牛尿，要不了多久…
看到沒？
馬賊呢？
快點，快救我出去
你答應…不殺我
好，我答應
記住，你是阿卡得人
阿卡得人說話一向算話
沒錯
答應帶我走，有好處分我一份
什麼？可以，我答應
搞定，不要動
這邊有一隻
好大一隻
哇，這只是蟻後
我們要去哪？
去曼能的土地，替我哥報仇
不准碰我的弓 沒問題
你在叫誰？ 我的坐騎
是只駱駝
後面很擠，麻煩你挪一挪
嘿，我們說好的
沒錯，我沒殺你…還沒
我的女巫今天看到什麼
看到什麼
你的大軍將會西征
大敗依希絲女王的軍隊
把消息傳給各將領
準備打最後一仗
是的，大王
你認為我不擇手段
也許你忘了外面的情形
殘忍、無知、野蠻
但是我會撥亂反正
我會平息數百年的動亂
為天下帶來長治久安
血流成河換不來和平 卻可以換來服從
那樣就夠了
一旦我完成霸業
你將與我共享王位
與我同床共枕
但是，大王…
與你同床，我會失去預知能力
你也會失去作戰的優勢
那個時候
我已經不需要巫師
娥摩拉城
打家劫舍，辛苦了一天
最棒的就是去娥摩拉城玩
雖然所多瑪城也不錯
可惜我不能去
你不去？
相信我
我是很想找那些紅衛隊算帳
可是我被通緝，不可能進得去
我有信心，我們一定進得去
看吧，守衛森嚴到 連蒼蠅都飛不進去
我希望我幫得上忙
你幫得上忙
你有什麼事？
我來領賞的
馬賊 我認識他
這次一定讓他腦袋搬家
他沒頭會比較好看
怎麼回事 我就說靠你進得來
給我朋友來杯好酒
等一下，我好像記得
你一記老拳
揮過來 酒來了
有什麼需要儘管吩咐
還是大城市好
幫我看著駱駝 沒問題
你在這裡做了多久
肉串好不好吃
品質保證
由龐貝城僧侶鑄造的純鋼
看啊，全世界最鋒利的劍
在娥摩拉城就要佩戴好劍
觀賞鳥、肉食鳥
世界上最漂亮的珍禽
阿兵哥，看你肌肉緊繃
我來幫你鬆弛一下 或者我們一起
先生，我幫你帶路
你需要嚮導帶路
好的嚮導會帶我進曼能的宮殿
聰明的嚮導就不會
不然你只會進曼能的地牢
不在我身上
想不想賺這顆
準備動手，我一半，你一半
好吧，都交給我
乾脆繞路走就不要殺人了
天啊，你是不是要殺我
等一下再說
曼能動不動就要砍我的頭
不要碰 這是什麼
那是我精心泡製的魔術粉
魔術粉
對，魔術粉
我花一大筆錢買來的中國配方
泡製成功的話
不但可以開山辟路
還可以造福人群
也可以為害人間
我的發明都被曼能拿來作戰
曼能在哪 你想殺他
對
既然如此
他在練武場
放手，放開我
我又沒做什麼
你知道偷竊的下場
有刺客
跟我來
又是你 我怎麼出去
從那扇門
那是什麼 我最新的發明
快速運輸機
不過著陸有點問題
開門
小心，不要啟動機器
好
我的天
是男人
這是什麼地方 曼能的後宮
不過他很少來 我們好寂寞
別煩我，行不行 說話小心點
小心，這些是精密的儀器
曼能大人欣賞你算你好運
老傢伙
要是我發現你和刺客有關係
我就要你的命
我們會讓你滿意
我相信，但是… 不要走
留下來嘛 謝謝，我趕時間
我們會讓你美夢成真
放箭
快追
你是要殺我，還是要盯著我
吸氣
讚美神
你好大膽，敢碰我
我是阿卡得人，奉命來殺你
不過現在你活著對我更有用
別讓我改變主意
他說，大小不重要
重要的是能耐
可惜，我現在要走了
就是那個叛徒 我的天
他死了
認命吧，臭駱駝
我才是你的主人，你要聽我的
他死了，死了
死了
你還活著，我就知道
對
我才剛跟駱駝說
沒人能殺死我們的馬沙亞斯
上去 我幹嘛要聽你的
你不是要殺我 其他人會比你先死
你真會安慰人
你朋友是誰 曼能的巫師
曼能的巫師，你瘋了 我們會被她害死
我要用她引曼能出來
所以你先利用我，再殺我
我覺得好過多了
我也可以倒過來，先殺你
我們要去哪
死亡谷 死亡谷？
哪有人去死亡谷的
你以為那個名字叫假的啊
等我一下
你帶十二名高手去追
殺了他
把她帶回來
得手立刻通知我
是的，大王 大王
軍中傳出巫師出走的謠言
是嗎？ 是的，大王
那就想辦法壓制這股聲浪
讓士兵以為她還在
找到那個阿卡得人
送這枝箭給他
我們是不是到了
是
到家了
你想去哪，巫師
急著回曼能身邊 不，急著離開你
我再也不回去，他從小就軟禁我
那晚在帳蓬，你為什麼幫我
我知道你可以幫我逃走
要走就走，外面比我還危險
什麼叫你找不到
我知道就在附近 你在找什麼
躲避沙暴的地方 什麼沙暴
你會看到的
曼能是不是沒來
他派了走狗來
他比你想的要聰明
應該是懦弱
我可不可以回家
待在這裡，蓋住
你們不會有事的
他單槍匹馬來挑戰
曬到神智不清了
取他首級者，賞金一千
阿卡得混蛋
他在哪
這邊
你們兩個先進去
踩在石頭上
跟我來
不要碰
懦夫
有種就出來
阿卡得人
你還活著，好像拍蒼蠅一樣
你太厲害了
告訴我，有沒有辦法救他
他中了蠍子毒，在發高燒
就算不死…
蠍子血也會永遠留在他體內
巫師
真是奇跡
她救了你，我就知道她有辦法
她差點沒命，還好有神的保佑
為什麼？
為什麼冒生命危險救我
因為我相信你會拯救百姓
他們不是我的問題，曼能才是
你和百姓有相同的問題
啟稟大王，索瑞克有消息
阿卡得人終於死了
有事嗎？大王
沒事
一切順利
事實上，因為非常順利
所以我要把計劃提前
明晚我們設宴慶祝出師大捷
然後揮軍掃平殘餘的叛逆
下去吧
大王
按照慣例，巫師應該出席會議
為什麼她今天不在 她不舒服
我希望不嚴重
嚴重的話，你自然會知道
退下
她還活著
跟他一起，在來的路上
去準備
成功了，成功了
大人
能在荒郊野地看到你真好
你快來看，我成功了
快點，快點
巫師大人
你看，我成功了
我的中國配方，我的魔術粉
原來我需要的是硝石
硝石就在這裡，這裡多得是
對了，你們誰有帶水
你想可以喝嗎？
本來可以 好喝
沙巖有天然的過濾效果
安靜
我還活著，我還活著
目前是
走
刺客，神待我不薄啊
上次見面， 你想殺我
現在輪到我報答你
你們擅闖禁地
我們能生存全靠這裡夠隱秘
只要你們活著，問題就來了
沒問題，我絕對守口如瓶
我連怎麼來的都不記得
太遲了 巴煞
我們收留所有曼能的敵人
你應該知道 他是個危險人物
你判斷錯誤 我的判斷讓大家活到今天
這個人不可靠，我可以證明
把那個女人帶上來
誰敢碰她，就別怪我不客氣
正合我意
不公平
打他
你服不服 不服
你還是執迷不悟
我們是同仇敵愾的兄弟 兄弟？
你會連累我們
曼能一定會追來
把他的巫師搶回去
沒錯，我認得她
曼能不會罷手，除非她回去
曼能有了她，會更銳不可當
會更肆無忌憚
你們躲得了一時，躲不了一世
要是不阻止他
他就會血洗這塊土地
有誰可以阻止他
你？
你敢挑戰他的百萬大軍
敢
男的應該讓女的 說得對
三盤兩勝如何
棗子？
哦，謝謝
卡珊卓
你終於贏了
我預見一個景象
曼能會追到這裡
大開殺戒
你確定
我預見的景象
就像池面的浮光掠影
時隱時現
忽暗忽明
不過有件事我確定
曼能會率領大軍
踏平此處
曼能會死在我手上
阿卡得人，看來神今晚眷顧我
你跟曼能決鬥
會死在他手上
那是你命中注定
我的命運由我掌握
我需要你幫忙
你不能丟下我們 冷靜點
你一個人去，等於是去送死
你要騎我的馬上哪去
娥摩拉城，我們怎麼勸都沒用
不帶你的巫師去
她回去了，怕連累你們
我不會讓她一個人面對曼能
讓開 阿卡得人
你這是去送死
讓你單槍匹馬去
我不就沾不到光
今晚我們熱烈慶祝
大家
盡情享用
明天我們奮勇殺敵
我差點捉到他，可惜被他跑掉
連弓都不要了
大王
有件事造成軍心動搖
那就麻煩了，請說
傳言
女巫師已經出走
士兵不應該輕信
無聊的宮廷傳言
我向你保證，她十分安全
問題是出征在即
士兵不要口頭保證
你懷疑我的話
不敢，大王
不過她是振奮軍心的象徵
總要眼見為真才好 大王
我奉召而來
近來身體不適
還望大王恕罪
我軍即將大捷，令我精神一振
這樣可以穩定軍心了吧
把你預見的景象告訴他
我看到我軍大捷
你的敵人會自動現形
停
裡面是什麼 裡面是什麼
裡面…是個驚喜
為今晚的宴會助興
泰克麥王子吩咐的
非常好
讓我看看…這位姑娘
去我的寢宮
我有事跟你談
請大王恕罪
我明白
你膽小、懦弱
宴會結束
養精蓄銳，準備明天出征
加強宮殿警戒
停
入城比較容易
接下來怎麼做知道吧？
制服守衛 點燃火藥
想辦法保住小命
你怎麼來了？你會受傷
你也會
待在車裡
阿卡得人，自己小心
姑娘，用不著擔心
我要找他算帳 走
關閉宮門
關閉所有宮門
看到你安然無恙，我就放心了
奇怪的是，他竟然放過你
他要對付的是你，不是我
你怎麼逃出來的 我不是毫無魅力
這個我知道
搬進來
你預見，我明天就完成霸業
我說過，我有看到 你有嗎？
我感覺你變了
你看起來…
法力變弱
我向你保證
我沒有改變
那好
一個小小的示範應該難不倒你
一個簡單的測驗
退下
全部退下
我應該去哪 停車
在那裡
應該在那裡
好傢伙
瞧瞧
是誰來啦
一次一包
六個甕，四條眼鏡蛇
現在…
看你看不看得到
很好
現在只剩一個空的
誰想送死
我們快到了
知道我看到什麼
恐懼
你已經失去法力
完全失去
這是什麼法術 我的法術
我看到你的下場，暴君
你的氣數已盡
看是法術厲害，還是劍厲害
我要這個女人，還有你的人頭
刺客和女巫
多浪漫啊
我一刀成全你們兩個
就是這裡
宮殿的基石
快點，沒時間了 我在快
我是在快
前無去路，後有追兵
看來我的頭，你是拿不走了
殺了女巫
這是為你父親
死得好，刺客
阿卡得人，看來神今晚眷顧我
快點燃 你點
那是你的發明
跟我來
準備進攻
衝啊
這次完蛋了
接箭
王上萬歲 萬歲
萬歲
我就知道
萬歲 好耶
巴煞，留下來，這裡百廢待舉
我要照顧我的族人
我相信，你會是個好帝王
不要忘了自己的出身、背景
我不會讓我的族人蒙羞
記住，這裡隨時歡迎你
活得自由
好好統治
記住…
努比亞人會看著你，魔蠍大帝
我看見太平盛世
你怎麼看得到
傳說你會失去法力，一旦…
你能想到更好的藉口 來避免帝王佔你便宜嗎？
我的祖先也想不到
這樣的盛世又能維持多久
王上，世事無常
王朝也躲不過世代交替的命運
那我們就自己開創我們的命運

謝謝觀賞 Sokidon Proudly Presents
Unh!
[Loud Revelry]
[Revelry Continues]
[Squeals, Grunts]
We have killed Babylonians!
[Cheering]
We have killed Mesopotamians!
- [Cheering Continues] - We have killed Assyrians,
Mycenaeans, Sumerians,
but...
we have never had the pleasure...
of killing...
an Akkadian.
[Cheering]
[Grunting]
Which limb do I take first?
[Shouting All At Once]
May the gods have pity on you...
because my brother will not.
[Growls]
Boo.
[Screaming]
[Yelling]
You missed.
[Screaming]
You're lucky we have the same mother.
[Man Narrating] Before the time of the pyramids,
a fearsome horde came from the East...
and swept across the barren lands of the ancient world.
[Whinnying]
[Screaming]
[Narrator] By the law of the horde,
their greatest warrior was proclaimed their king.
His name was Memnon.
[Narrator] He was the greatest swordsman the world had ever seen.
[Whinnies]
[Narrator] With the predictions of a sorcerer...
who could foretell the outcome of every battle,
Memnon slaughtered all who resisted him,
- [Screaming] - [Arrows Continue Flying]
[Narrator] Until only a brave few remained.
[Loud Argumentation]
[Shouting Continues]
- Silence! - My father has called for silence!
Hold your tongues!
[Shouting Stops Abruptly]
We are gathered in this place...
to put our differences aside.
There is still time for us,
the last of the free tribes,
to stand together against this tyrant.
With his sorcerer at his side, no mortal can defeat Memnon.
And if the sorcerer were to die, what then?
It's too late for your schemes, Pheron.
I have raided Memnon's caravans,
broken the supply lines to his troops,
but he still swept across the land like a plague.
I will not send my people to their deaths in a battle that can't be won.
And what people would that be, Balthazar?
You are the ruler of nothing...
but a pile of rocks and sand.
- If I'm no king, - [Whimpers]
Why are you on your knees before me?
Balthazar! Guards!
Akkadians.
I thought they were wiped out long ago.
They are the last of their kind.
By their hand, the sorcerer will die.
You put your faith in a clan of cutthroats who kill for money?
They are more than that. They are skilled assassins...
trained for generations in the deadly arts.
And what price do these mercenaries ask from us, Father?
- [Sack Rattles] - Twenty blood rubies.
- That's the last of our treasury. - Be quiet.
If these men kill the sorcerer,
will you fight?
[Commotion]
[Shouting Affirmations]
So be it.
As long as one of us still breathes,
the sorcerer will die.
Assassin!
Him...
we'll kill for free.
We can reach Memnon's encampment by nightfall.
When are you gonna get rid of that filthy beast?
- [Bellows] - He doesn't mean anything by it.
- Horses are faster. - But camels are smarter.
Hyah!
[Whinnies]
Hyah! Hyah!
[Whistles Birdcall]
That one's mine.
Live free.
Die well.
Stop. Stop. Listen to me. I am a high priest of Set.
Spare me, and I shall bless thee in five different languages.
- [Whimpers] - You'll scream in five different languages.
- Horse thief. - Wait! Wait!
[Whistles Birdcall]
[Groans]
Hey! I'm not that heavy.
[Grunting]
[Yelling]
Look out for the first one! He's behind you!
Help me! Help me! Whoever you are, help me!
- Oh, thank you. Thank you, good sir. - Quiet.
Surely you've heard of the enormous reward for my safe return.
[Men Talking In Distance]
[Whistles Birdcall]
The sorcerer's tent.
[Neighs]
Back!
[Commotion]
- Make way! - Find the other one!
You've been betrayed, Mathayus.
- You know my name? - And why you're here.
- [Grunts] - [Man] He's in the tent!
You! Move around back!
[Yells]
[Grunts]
A living, breathing Akkadian. This is a rare pleasure.
I hear you train yourselves to bear great pain.
You must teach me this, if you live long enough.
[Spits]
Not looking so full of yourself, are you now, assassin?
You... betrayed your own father?
Yes. He was very shocked.
You could tell by the look on his face.
By my father's head, I pledge my allegiance.
[Memnon] You have proven your loyalty, Takmet.
- This one still lives. - [Groaning]
Beautiful.
- Bring him to me. - [Grunts]
- [Grunting] - Mathayus.
Mathayus.
Live free.
Die well, my brother.
[Grunts]
So,
how shall this one die?
- He shall not die tonight. - Really?
- We shall see. - Nor shall he die by your hand...
or any hand you command.
You have seen this in a vision?
To ignore this would bring great misfortune.
The gods show him favor on this night.
Just the gods?
[Growls]
A puzzle then.
How to kill you without using my hand or any hand I command?
[Groans]
Fascinating, isn't it?
The smoke, it causes the fire ants to abandon their homes, you see?
All the sooner to feast on our naked heads.
- [Laughs] - You think this is funny?
It's a little bit funny. Yes. You see, I am about to escape,
while you are about to die a horrible death for leaving me to die last night.
- So what are you waiting for? - You see that one up there?
He's been drinking that Yak piss for about an hour now, and sometime very soon...
Ahh. You see?
[Groaning]
[Soldier Urinating]
Hey! Where's the horse thief?
- Ooh! - [Screaming]
[Soldier Sputters, Gasps]
[Grunting]
All right. Come on. Get me outta here.
Do you, uh, promise not to kill me?
- Yes, I promise. - Remember.
You are an Akkadian. You make an oath, you always have to keep it, right?
That's right.
Promise to take me with you and share in the spoils of your adventures.
What? All right. Fine. Yes, I promise.
All right. Now hold still.
- Oh, here's one. Ah. That's a big one! - [Grunts]
- My! Here comes the mother. - [Grunts]
So, where are we going?
To Memnon's kingdom to avenge my brother's death.
- [Gulps] - Never touch the bow.
Not a problem.
- [Whistles Birdcall] - Who are you calling?
My ride.
[Bellows]
It's a nice camel.
Not much room back here. Scoot up, please.
Aah. Hey! We had a deal!
That's right. And I haven't killed you... yet.
What news from my sorceress today?
[Screaming]
[Horse Whinnies]
What news?
Your armies will conquer in the West.
Queen Isis's forces will scatter to the four winds.
Give the generals the news.
Have them make their armies ready for the final campaign.
[Both] Yes, my Lord.
[Doors Open, Close]
[Snarling]
You think I'm cruel, don't you?
Perhaps you've forgotten what it's like outside these walls.
Heartless, ignorant and savage.
[Snarling Subsides]
But I can change that.
I will bring order after centuries of chaos.
An order which will last for a thousand years.
Rivers of blood can never bring peace.
But they can bring obedience. That will suffice for now.
And when I have become the king of legend,
then you shall take your place beside me...
on a throne... and in my bed.
But, my lord,
in your bed I would lose my gift of sight...
and you would lose your advantage in battle.
The day I speak of...
is the day I no longer need your vision.
Gomorrah.
- [Bleats] - Let me tell you,
after a hard day of looting and pillaging, there is no greater city than Gomorrah.
Except maybe Sodom.
[Nervous Chuckle]
I wish I could join you.
You're not going?
Believe me, I'd like to even the score with a few of those Red Guards myself.
But with the price I've got on my head, I'd never make it through those gates.
I have faith in you, my friend.
- You'll get us in. - [Camel Grunts]
[Bellows]
You see? They've got the city sealed up tighter than a crab's buttocks.
- I wish there was something I could do to help, but l-l... - Oh, but there is.
What business do you have here?
I've come to collect a bounty.
- Horse thief. - Oh. I know this dog.
They'll behead him for sure this time.
He'll be all the prettier without it.
[Sputtering]
- [Spitting Water] - [Chuckles]
- What happened? - You got us in. I knew you could do it.
Ajug of your finest wine for my road-weary friend here.
Wait a minute. The last thing that...
that I remember was this huge...
- Akkadian fist coming straight into... - Here's your wine, sir.
Please, let me know if there's anything else you'd like.
Ah. It's good to be back in the big city.
- Watch my camel for me? - Gladly.
[Chuckles] Been working here long time?
How's the kabob?
[Grunts]
Merchandise of the highest quality.
Virgin steel forged by the monks of Pompeii.
Here! Here they are! The world's finest swords.
Huh? You can't get respect in Gomorrah without a quality blade...
Birds of paradise, birds of prey.
The most beautiful birds in the world.
Hey, soldier. Those big muscles look cramped.
- Perhaps one of us can help you relax. - Maybe all of us.
[Donkey Braying]
Mister, mister. Guide, mister.
You need a guide to find your way in Gomorrah.
A good guide might be able to show me a way into Memnon's palace.
But a smart guide wouldn't,
or he'd be shown into Memnon's dungeon.
[Boys Laughing]
I don't have it.
[Sack Rattling]
[Hollow Thud]
[High-Pitched Thud]
Do you wanna earn this one?
[Voices, Indistinct]
- [Gasps] - Shh!
Get ready. I'll kill half, you kill half.
All right. I'll kill 'em all.
How about we go around them and not kill anybody?
- Good Lord. Are you going to kill me? - Maybe later.
Memnon's always threatening to have my head.
Don't touch that.
- What is it? - That's my special magic powder.
- [Boy] Magic powder? - [Bird Squawks]
Yeah, magic powder.
It's a Chinese formula that I procured at great expense.
If I get the recipe right, it'll move mountains,
clear roadways in an instant...
do great things, wonderful things.
Or terrible things.
Like all my inventions, Memnon will try to use it for war.
- Where is Memnon? - Oh, you mean to kill him, do you?
- Yes. - Well, in that case,
I'd say he was in the training courtyard.
[Yells]
Aah!
[Cheering]
Shukrin.
[Applause, Cheering]
No! Let me go! [Grunting]
I didn't do anything!
You know the penalty for thievery.
No!
[Whimpers] Oh, no.
No!
- Intruder! - Intruder!
Follow me!
- You again. - How do I get outta here?
Through that door.
- What's that? - That's one of my latest inventions.
It was meant to be a quick means of transportation,
but there was a little problem with the landings.
- [Pounding On Door] - [Man] Open!
- Open! - Don't touch that. You'll set it off.
Right.
Aah!
[Commotion]
- Oh. [Giggles] - Oh, my!
A man.
- What is this place? - Lord Memnon's harem.
- But he visits so rarely. - And it gets so lonely.
- Can't you leave me alone, Thorak? - Watch your tongue, Philos.
Careful with those! They're delicate instruments.
You're lucky Lord Memnon has a taste for your "science," you old fool.
If I find out you had anything to do with this intruder,
I will send the executioner.
- We know how to please. - [Nervous Chuckle]
- Oh, I'm sure you do, ladies, but l... - Stay with us.
- That's nice, but now's not a good time.
We will make your every fantasy come true.
** [Loud Gonging]
- [Grunts] - [Women Screaming]
Kill him!
After him!
Oh!
- Go get him! - Aah! Aah!
[Screaming]
- [Grunting] - [Screaming]
[Groaning]
Well, are you gonna try to kill me or just stare at me?
- Hyah! - Ow.
Humph. [Gasps]
- [Gasps] - Take a breath.
Oh! Whoa-oh-oh!
Aah!
[Gasps]
Gods be praised!
[Gasps]
[Grunts] How dare you touch me!
Oh!
Sorceress, I am an Akkadian hired to kill you.
Now, I find myself in a position where you are of more use to me alive.
Don't make me change my mind.
And he said, it's not the size of the hump,
it is the motion of the camel.
[Laughter]
- [Horns Sounding] - [Women Screaming]
Alas, I must leave you now.
[Horns Continue Sounding]
- There's the traitor! - Oh, great gods!
- [Camel Bellowing] - He is dead!
Just admit it, you smelly camel!
- [Bellowing] - I am your master now! You belong to me!
He's dead! Dead!
Dead!
You are alive. I knew it!
Right.
I was just saying to the camel, "Camel, no one could kill our good friend Mathayus."
Get on.
Why should I make it easy for you? You're sworn to kill me.
- Others will die first. - [Camel Grunts]
That's comforting.
- So who is your friend? - Memnon's sorcerer.
Memnon's sorcerer? Are you insane? She's going to get us all killed!
Memnon will have to leave the safety of his palace to get her.
So you're going to use me first and then kill me?
I feel so much better.
I could always do it the other way around and kill you first.
So where are we going?
- The Valley of the Dead. - The Valley of the Dead?
Nobody goes to the Valley of the Dead!
That's why they call it the Valley of the Dead!
Wait for me, please!
Take a dozen of your best men, track him down,
kill him...
and bring her back to me.
Send me news when he's dead.
- Yes, my lord. - My lord.
There are rumors spreading to the armies that she's gone.
- Is this true? - It is, my lord.
Then silence them! They must believe she is here,
if only for a short time.
And when you find the Akkadian,
give him this from me.
[Wind Whistling]
Are we where I think we are?
Yes.
Home.
[Grunts]
Where are you going, Sorceress?
[Grunting]
[Growls]
In a hurry to get back to Memnon?
No, I'm in a hurry to get away from you. I'll never go back to Memnon.
He's kept me prisoner since I was a child.
Why did you help me that night in the tent?
I knew you were the one man who could help me escape.
Run if you like. There are worse dangers out there than me.
[Bellows]
- What do you mean you can't find it? - [Bellows]
- I know it's around here somewhere. - What are you looking for?
- Just a little place to get out of the storm. - What storm?
You'll see.
Thorak.
Memnon didn't come, did he?
Sent his maggots to do his work.
He's smarter than you think.
Or more cowardly.
Can I go home now?
Stay here. Cover up.
You'll be safe.
[Wind Whistling]
- [Bleats] - Hyah!
Look, sir.
He's attacking! Alone?
The sun has fried his brain.
A thousand duranas for the one that brings me his head.
Hyah!
[Whinnying]
Akkadian bastard!
- Where is he? - [Blow Lands, Man Screams]
[Bleats]
This way!
You two first. Come on. Go.
[Clatter]
Aah!
[Foot Tapping Ground]
Aah!
Stay on the stones.
[Clatter]
[Whimpers]
Aah!
Come with me.
[Choking]
- Aah! - [Blow Landing]
- Don't touch that. - [Screaming]
[Man Screams]
Aah!
[Man Screams]
[Whimpers] Aah!
[Breathing Heavily]
Coward!
Show your face!
[Groans]
Aah!
Ah.
- Ah. - [Coughing]
Oh. Ohh.
The Akkadian.
[Whinnies]
Mathayus!
[Bellows]
[Grunting]
- Ahh! - You are alive!
You swatted them like flies! You are invincible!
[Groaning]
[Grunts]
Tell me. Do you think you can save him?
His fever's high. The poison was made with scorpion venom.
If he does live, the blood of the scorpion...
will always flow through his veins.
[Grunts]
[Shivering]
Sorceress.
[Gasps] It-It's a miracle.
She cured you.
I knew it! I felt her magic!
It almost killed her, but the gods, they were on our side.
Why? Why would you risk your life to save mine?
Because I believe you can save the people.
The people are not my problem. Memnon is.
You and the people have the same problem.
[Bird Chirping]
[Door Closes]
Pardon, my lord. A message from Thorak.
Finally the Akkadian is dead.
Is there something wrong, my lord?
Not at all. Everything is in order.
In fact, things are going so well...
that I'm moving up our plans.
Tomorrow night, we feast to celebrate our impending victory.
And then we'll drive the last of the rebels into the sea.
Now, go.
My lord,
it is customary for the Sorceress to be present at these meetings.
Why is she not here today?
- She's indisposed. - It is nothing serious, I hope.
If it were serious, then you would know about it.
Now, go!
She is alive. She is with him and he's coming here.
Get ready.
It works! It works! [Laughing]
My lady. How lovely to see you out here in this desolate place!
Let me show you. It works!
[Laughing] Come, come, come!
My lady sorceress. [Chuckles]
You see? I worked it out.
My Chinese formula. My magic powder works!
All I needed was salt. Petered salt.
It was here all the time. This place is just full of it.
By the way, do any of you happen to have any water?
What do you think? Is it safe to drink?
Whoo-hoo!
Not anymore.
Delicious. The sandstone must act as a natural filter.
Quiet.
I'm alive! I'm alive!
For the moment.
Mathayus.
Move!
Assassin. The gods are good to me.
When we last met, you offered to kill me.
Now I have a chance to return the favor.
You're trespassers here. Our survival depends on this place being kept a secret.
So we have a problem... as long as you're alive.
[Thief] No problem. I can keep a secret like no other.
In fact, I cannot remember how we got here. We took a left turn...
- It's too late for that. - Balthazar!
This place is sanctuary for all of Memnon's enemies.
- You know that. - This man is dangerous.
- Your judgment is clouded. - My judgment keeps all of you alive.
This man cannot be trusted, and I'll prove it.
Bring the woman to me.
The first man to touch her will have to come through me.
I had hoped for nothing less.
[All Shouting, Cheering]
[Yells]
[Yelling]
Aah.
[Clangs]
- That's not fair. - [Yells]
[Clucking]
Get him.
No!
Yeah!
- Do you yield? Then you're a fool. - Never.
- We're brothers in the same cause. - Brothers?
You brought death to my people.
Memnon will follow you.
He will come for his sorceress.
Yes, I know who she is.
And Memnon will stop at nothing till she's returned.
He'll come swifter and deadlier once he has her. Memnon will stop at nothing.
Hide here as long as you can, but believe me when I say he'll find you.
And if he isn't stopped, he'll sweep across this land and kill all of you.
[Chuckling]
And who's gonna stop him, Akkadian?
You? Will you stand alone before the fury of his armies?
Yes.
[Cheering]
- A gentleman always lets a lady win. - You didn't.
Best two out of three?
Dates?
Oh, thank you.
[Distant Screams]
- Cassandra! - [Horse Whinnies]
[Gasps]
I've had a vision.
Memnon will follow me here and destroy these people.
You know this?
The things I see...
are like shimmers in a pond.
Some are certain, and some remain shadows.
But I do know this...
Memnon will release his armies and ride straight through this place.
Memnon will die by my hand.
It seems the gods favor me tonight, Akkadian.
[Groans]
If you face Memnon, you'll die.
That is your destiny.
I make my own destiny.
I need your help.
[Sighs]
- [Horse Whinnying] - [Thief] You can't leave us here.
[Philos] Mathayus, don't be so stubborn. Listen to reason.
You can't go alone. You're going to get yourself killed.
Where do you think you're going with my horse?
To Gomorrah. Nothing we can say will stop him.
Without your sorceress?
She returned to save the lives of your people.
I won't let her face Memnon's wrath alone.
- Step aside. - Akkadian,
you're riding to your death.
If I let you ride alone,
what glory will there be left for me?
**[Percussion, Distant]
** [Continues]
- **[Stops] - [Crowd Cheers]
So tonight we celebrate.
Eat and drink your fill...
- for tomorrow we ride into battle. - [Applause, Cheers]
I would've captured him myself, but he ran like a coward.
He left his bow behind.
My lord.
There is something that is troubling our soldiers.
How distressing. Pray tell.
It's been said the sorceress is no longer by your side.
Soldiers will fall prey to...
idle palace gossip.
You have my word, she's perfectly safe.
If the men are to fight, to die,
they may need more than that.
- Do you doubt my word? - It is not that, sire.
It's just she is a symbol from which the men derive courage.
- Symbols are most effective when seen. - My lord.
[Murmuring]
I am here at your request.
Pardon my absence.
I was not well.
But our impending victory has lifted my spirit.
Is this sufficient to placate your men?
Tell them what you see, Sorceress.
I see a great victory.
[Murmuring]
Your enemies will reveal themselves to you.
Halt.
- What is in the cart? - "What is in the cart"?
Actually, it is a bit of a surprise.
- A gift for tonight's festivities. - [Giggling]
Prince Takmet's request.
[Chuckles] Very nice.
Well, now. Let's see that pretty little face.
[Clangs]
Aah!
- [Whistles Birdcall] - [Grunts]
Now go to my chambers.
We have things to discuss.
My sincerest apologies, my lord.
I understand.
You are fearful, weak.
[All Gasp]
The feast is over.
To bed, men, for tomorrow we conquer.
Fortify the palace guard.
Whoa.
All right. That was the easy part.
- Everybody know what to do? - Cripple the guards.
- Ignite the powder. - And try not to get killed.
- What are you doing here? You could get hurt. - So could you.
- Stay in the wagon. - [Sighs]
You watch yourself, Akkadian.
- No need for concern, miss. - Oh, he's gonna pay for that.
Hey, hey.
Seal the gates. Seal all the gates.
Though I'm relieved to see you unharmed,
- I am somewhat surprised the Akkadian didn't kill you. - He was after you.
- I was merely a pawn. - But you escaped his grasp?
I'm not without my wiles.
Yes, I'm well aware of that. Bring them.
Tomorrow my victory is complete.
- That is your vision? - As I said, I have seen it.
Have you?
I sense a change in you.
You seem somehow...
diminished.
I assure you. I am myself.
Good. A small demonstration shouldn't trouble you then.
A simple test.
[Hissing]
Now go. Everyone leave.
- Where am I going? - Stop.
It's over there.
Should be just there.
Good man.
[Creaking]
Well, well.
What do we have here?
[Grunts] One at a time.
Six urns, four cobras.
Now.
Let's see what you can see.
Excellent.
- One empty pot left now. - [Shattering]
Who dies first?
[All Yelling]
We're almost there.
You know what I see? Fear.
You have lost your power,
thrown it all away.
[Hissing]
- What magic is this? - My magic.
I see your fate, hollow king.
And its time has come.
You wish to test magic against steel?
I've come for the woman and your head.
The assassin and the sorceress,
how romantic.
I'll bury you both together.
[Horse Whinnying]
And here it is, the foundation stone.
- Hurry, we're running out of time. - I'm hurrying, I'm hurrying.
[Hissing]
[Pounding On Door]
Fire in front, palace guard at your back.
Looks like I'll be keeping my head after all, Akkadian.
- Kill the witch! - [Yelling]
[Gasps]
Mathayus!
For your father.
[Screams]
[Clangs]
Die well, assassin.
[Groaning]
It seems the gods favor me tonight, Akkadian.
Mathayus!
[Screams]
- Hurry up and light it. - You hurry up and light it. This is your invention.
Follow me.
[Groaning]
Ready! Weapons!
[Yells]
[Grunting]
Aah!
[All Yelling]
So much for not getting killed.
[Yells]
[Grunting]
Catch this.
[Memnon Screaming]
Oh.
- Hail to the king! - Hail, hail!
I knew it from the start.
- Hail! - Yeah! - Mathayus!
[Cheering Continues]
Stay here with us, Balthazar. There's much work to be done.
I have to look after my own people.
You're a king now, Akkadian, and a good one, I think.
Don't forget how you got here or the people you came from.
My people will live on through me.
Remember, there'll always be a place for you here.
- Live free. - Rule well.
Remember, Nubian eyes will be watching you, Scorpion King.
I see a time of great peace and prosperity ahead.
How is it you see this?
Don't the legends say you'll lose your powers if you...
Can you think of a better way to keep a king from taking advantage?
Well, neither could my ancestors.
And how long will this time of peace last?
Nothing lasts forever, my king.
That is the destiny of all kingdoms.
Then we'll make our own destiny.
[Applause, Cheering]
