(slow dramatic music)

- No, no.

(woman crying)

(dramatic music)

No, ah! No.

No.

(warrior growling)

(warrior grunting)

- That's my horse.

(warriors grunting)

(slow music)

- Our fight is not with you.

(dramatic music)

(warrior groaning)

(swords clanking)

(warrior groaning)

(warrior screaming)

(warrior groaning)

(slow music)

- I've taken some treasure here.

And a girl from the valley.

I'll share them with you.

- The one who lives here won't be very pleased.

- Let him fight for it, then.

Take it all.

It's yours.

Take it!

- I intend to.

(dramatic music)

(man groaning)

This just isn't your day, is it?

(slow music)

(woman gasping)

What do you want?

- Your name.

- Outside.

Wait for me there.

(mutters indistinctly)

(man sighing)

This isn't my day, either.

(mid-tempo music)

Get any poorer, you're gonna have to eat that dog.

(dog growling)

- I hope it'll be as tasty as the one you're enjoying.

- Real kings live in castles.

Like Lord Munkar.

- Munkar was my magician.

That castle was mine and will be again.

- It is said that once an entire army marched against him.

A real army.

Munkar waved his hand and turned the whole army

into a flock of sheep.

- An army isn't the way.

A brave man could get inside Munkar's castle and kill him.

- You need a fool.

- No.

A hero.

(dramatic music)

- Heroes and fools are the same thing.

- I'll offer you anything you like.

- Even all this isn't worth much to a sheep.

- I'll give you position.

You can stop living like an outlaw.

- An outlaw is free.

- He's taken my daughter from me.

In olden times, there were great heroes.

Men who'd ride off to save a maiden

with never a thought to their own lives.

- Well, those days are gone.

I steal and kill to stay alive.

Not for the luxury of glory.

(slow dramatic music)

(dramatic music)

(woman screaming)

- [Man] Things have changed since your father's reign,

haven't they, Princess?

(woman grunting)

(dramatic music)

(man grunting)

- I want the sword.

I am Kang, general of the great Lord Munkar.

It's your duty to give up the sword.

- Be on your way.

I will not give you the sword.

(dramatic music)

- [Man] My lord!

Transform stick to serpent.

- Hyah, hyah!

- [Woman] Taste of my magic, Kang.

- Hyah!

(men yelling)

(man grunting)

(man yelling)

- [Woman] Your powers are nothing without the sword, Kang.

Or is it Munkar?

(Kang groaning)

- With this amulet, the life blood of generations,

I change my form and slip your grasp.

(slow dramatic music)

(Kang laughing)

- Get the amulet.

He is helpless without it.

Hurry!

Lord Munkar's sorcery reaches even here.

- What was that amulet?

- [Woman] It is one of the three powers of creation.

Munkar controls two powers.

He came here as Kang to get the sword.

- The sword?

- Join three things separate to be the power.

(slow dramatic music)

More powerful than Munkar.

- Toralva, don't talk to me in riddles.

- Just as the amulet is the key to life,

so the sword is the instrument of justice.

I will tell you how to find it.

With your strength and courage, Deathstalker,

you can use the power in the sword to get the amulet.

He who wears it cannot die.

With sword and amulet, you can take the chalice

and reunite the three powers of creation.

Look, let me show you.

(slow dramatic music)

Munkar already holds the first two powers.

The amulet of life and the chalice of magic.

(Munkar laughing)

- [Munkar] You are very close now

to the power, Deathstalker.

But it will not be yours for long.

- The power will come to he who becomes a child.

- Toralva, you're sending me into battle against sorcery.

Would you stop talking to me in riddles?

- Power is nothing if it is given to you.

Go, reunite the three powers.

- And after they're together?

- You can do anything.

You will be the power.

[Toralva] Deathstalker!

Your thirst should be only for the first power.

- Enough riddles.

I'll just take my chances with my sword.

- Look behind you.

Salmaron waits there,

the keeper of the sword of justice.

- Why didn't you just--

(chiming music)

Say so?

(slow dramatic music)

(Deathstalker grunting)

Ow.

Salmaron?

I was sent by Toralva.

She gave you something to safeguard for me.

- I live in this damp cave, trapped,

eating mice, moss, bugs.

And you come here looking for gifts?

(dramatic music)

(ogre grunting)

Move it, move it, rats!

Cockroaches, get outta my way.

Stalker!

Stalker!

Catch!

(Salmaron laughing and mumbling)

- The third power.

(Salmaron laughing)

(ogre growling)

Uh-uh-uh.

(ogre grunting)

- You don't have anything to eat, do you?

No, I didn't think so.

- [Deathstalker] It cut through stone.

- You must take me with you.

- I don't think so.

- I'm a victim of Munkar's curse.

I was once a man like you.

A warrior.

Brave, dashing.

Every spell carries with it a way out that is no way out.

- Your riddles remind me of Toralva.

- 1 can only be led to freedom by a boy who is not a boy.

With the power in this sword, you can set me free.

(dramatic music)

(mid-tempo music with vocalization)

You know, I'm not accustomed to the light.

Been in this cave for 30 years.

Oh, it's bright.

Take my hand.

I can't see anything.

Ah, that's better.

Kid, kid.

Where are you?

Oh, oh.

- Dashing and handsome.

- Are in the eye of the beholder.

What will you do with it?

- Reunite the three powers.

And I will be the power.

(triumphant music with vocalization)

- [Toralva] Munkar will set many traps for you.

Choose your allies well.

(mid-tempo music)

(woman screaming)

- Get down, somebody's coming!

(woman crying)

- I'll be right back.

- [Man] Hey, come on.

Get me.

- [Man] Yah, come on.

- [Man] Get him, get him.

(woman screaming)

(man grunting)

(woman screaming)

(man grunting)

- Damn.

- Hyah!

(man groaning)

- I don't know who you are, but your timing's perfect!

- Hyah!

(dramatic music)

- [Man] Circle him.

He can't fight us all.

(woman crying)

(man groaning)

(man groaning)

(slow music)

(dramatic music)

(man groaning)

- I owe you my life.

My name is Oghris.

- Stalker.

- No, no!

- [Oghris] Just running past on my way to Munkar's castle.

- If I'd known your allegiance was with Munkar,

I'd have let them kill you.

- It's not loyalty that takes me there, but fighting.

This has the makings of the greatest tournament ever.

I don't know a warrior in the land that's not bound for it.

- The tournament?

- Never fought for a prize like this before.

To be made Munkar's heir.

Think of it.

(slow music)

- That doesn't sound like much of a prize to me.

Inheriting everything from a sorcerer who never dies.

- [Oghris] No one's time lasts forever.

- [Deathstalker] I'll ride with you to this tournament.

- 30 years of frogs and toadstools, and spiders,

and things I don't even know what they were.

- That's a magnificent sword.

May I see it?

(horse whinnying)

(slow dramatic music)

Spirits.

- Spirits don't make noise.

- Come out and show yourself like a man,

whoever you are.

- Kill him and you'll die before his eyes are closed.

(slow dramatic music)

Show yourself.

- I'll take his hood off for him and his head.

(dramatic music)

- I had a dream we would meet two men on the road.

I didn't think it meant anything, but now.

- Two men, huh?

- Dreams are not what they used to be.

- I may be a woman.

My sword has cut down greater men than you.

- And I've dealt with better women with a different sword.

- Enough.

Save your boasting and your sword for the tournament.

What are you doing here?

- I'm Kaira.

I'm on my way to Munkar's tournament as well.

- Alone?

You ride the rest of the way with us.

- I'll join you until the contest begins,

then I'll stand by no one.

- Then it would be my pleasure

to be the one you stand against.

- Be wary, my friend.

- Of what?

A dream?

(slow music)

(women laughing)

(slow dramatic music)

- Where's mine?

(wind howling)

(fly buzzing)

- Deathstalker is camped outside the city, my lord.

(slow dramatic music)

- Very good.

(slow music)

- Hm?

Hm.

(Kaira groaning)

Hm.

- Oh!

- Hm.

(upbeat music)

(crowd talking)

- [Man] Mm, perfect.

(laughs) You should put a sparkle in Munkar's eye.

Ah, yes.

Come on.

To the castle.

(dramatic music)

(people laughing)

(woman screaming)

(woman screaming)

(women screaming)

(people laughing)

- [Man] Yes.

(people laughing)

More wine.

More wine.

(woman screaming)

(people laughing)

- Hm.

- Gotcha. (laughs)

(women screaming)

(people laughing)

- I think she likes you.

(woman screaming)

(people laughing)

(rumbling)

(glass smashing)

(wind howling)

- I bid you welcome to my kingdom.

I have ruled longer than most of you have lived.

Now I'm old.

My time is near.

But only the strongest will take my place.

We shall see in the battles of the next two days

who will claim my kingdom and whether good

or evil will rule.

- Evil!

- So I expect.

But the tests begin tomorrow.

Tonight you are my guests.

And all that I have is yours to share.

Food, drink, women.

And in honor of this occasion,

the first appearance of my newest prize.

(dramatic music)

Who will stand for the court in this most pleasant bout?

- Me. - Me.

- Me. - Let me do it.

- [Man] Me.

- Me.

- Yes, you are perfect.

(dramatic music)

- (men) Hey!

(crowd yelling)

(growling)

- [Princess] No!

Please.

No!

Please.

Stop him, please!

Stop him, please!

- [Man] I'll help you.

- Please, stop him!

(creature growling) (man growling)

(men grunting)

- Hey, hey. (laughs)

Oh, oh, oh, oh. (laughs)

(man groaning)

(men grunting)

(man screaming)

(woman screaming)

- Please, stop!

(man groaning)

Please!

(men grunting)

(chiming music)

- Were you planning to take her with you?

- For the night, anyway.

- She is mine, you know?

But I think she fancies you.

I'll have her sent to your chamber

when the excitement is over.

(upbeat music)

(man grunting)

(man laughing)

- [Man] Oh!

- Hello again.

- Thank you.

(men grunting)

(man screaming)

(slow music)

- Not again.

(slow dramatic music)

(wind howling)

(fly buzzing)

(laughing)

- My lord, Deathstalker is alone in his room.

Ah, little Howard.

Here, chicky--oh!

Oh.

- Deathstalker will not live to compete in the tournament.

(slow dramatic music)

- [Man] Good.

I would hate to see him win and become your heir.

- You cretin.

There will be no winner.

And when the contest is over,

there will be no warrior alive strong enough to oppose me.

- Ah, you will kill the winner.

- Yes.

And you will kill Deathstalker tonight.

- [Man] I will take 10 of my best men.

- You will go alone, with this.

Someone he won't suspect must kill him.

- [Man] He won't suspect me?

- He won't suspect Princess Codille.

- But she would never.

Wait, I know what you're thinking, don't, no.

Oh, what?

It's gone!

Oh, my lord.

Oh.

Uh.

(dramatic music)

Oh, my lord.

This is very uncomfortable.

- Then finish quickly, my Princess.

(slow dramatic music)

But you must do it when the sword is not in his hand.

- Come in.

We have plenty of time.

Until the guards have gone to sleep.

- It's cold.

- I'll fix that.

(hand slapping)

(slow dramatic music)

Who are you?

- I'm Princess Codille.

(dramatic music)

No!

(screaming)

- Who?

What the hell are you?

Get out of here.

Go on!

- Shh.

- What?

- Let's get you something to wear and get you out of here.

What's wrong with you?

(man groaning)

(dramatic music)

(man grunting)

- Careful.

If you're hurt, you won't be as much fun later.

(man groaning)

(slow dramatic music with vocalization)

- Stalker.

(crowd talking)

- Let the tournament begin.

(dramatic music)

(crowd cheering)

(crowd cheering)

(crowd cheering)

(crowd cheering)

(slow dramatic music)

(dramatic music)

(crowd cheering)

(man groaning)

- [Woman] Oghris!

(slow dramatic music)

- [Guard] What are you about?

- [Man] Whoa, whoa.

(man gasping)

(man screaming)

(women laughing)

I've been waiting 30 years for this.

(slow dramatic music)

- [Munkar] I trust you're comfortable.

- I am not.

And this is no way to treat the man

who brought you Deathstalker.

You could have ordered them to be a little more gentle.

(Munkar chuckling)

- I want him dead.

- Well, I can do it.

- Not so easily.

With that sword in his hand, he can't be harmed.

- Then I'll get it away from him.

- Oh.

- After all, my lord,

I am his friend.

- Do it then.

(slow dramatic music)

- Munkar plans to kill you tonight.

Forget the tournament.

Leave.

(men grunting)

(dramatic music)

(men grunting)

- Good-bye, my friend.

(neck clicking)

(neck crunching)

(woman groaning)

(dramatic music)

(crowd chattering)

- When the sun sets tonight, one man will stand

the greatest warrior of all.

(crowd cheering)

(growling)

(dramatic music)

(men grunting)

(crowd cheering)

(crowd cheering)

Now watch the man you thought might help you.

(crowd cheering)

- [Toralva] The chalice, the amulet, the power.

You can be the power.

(slow dramatic music)

- [Munkar] All the power comes to me.

The chalice, the amulet, and now the sword.

(slow music with vocalization)

- [Man] Alert the troops.

Search everywhere.

I want Stalker dead.

(women screaming)

(Salmaron grunting)

(Salmaron yelling)

(man grunting)

(women screaming)

(man groaning)

(man grunting)

- Ha!

(men grunting)

(slow music with vocalization)

- [Toralva] Behold, the amulet.

(dramatic music)

(man yelling)

(men groaning)

- Munkar.

Munkar!

(slow dramatic music)

- I am here, Deathstalker.

I've been waiting for you.

All the power comes to me.

- All the power comes to me.

- All the power comes to me.

(laughing)

- Yah!

Yah!

Yah!

(Munkar laughing)

(Munkar laughing)

- You have no defense against me.

- He does!

Deathstalker, do not allow illusion to become fear.

Embrace the power, take the chalice.

Deathstalker! (screams)

- The power is still mine.

(dramatic music)

- I don't want your power.

I want this world rid of you.

These powers controlled men too long.

- No!

You don't know what you're doing!

(crowd gasping)

You fool.

You've ruined everything.

- [Man] Kill him!

(crowd laughing)

- [Old Man] Death!

- [Man] Kill him!

(dramatic music)

(crowd yelling)

(Munkar yelling)

- [Deathstalker] All the powers of creation and chaos.

I destroy you.

(crowd yelling)

(triumphant music with vocalization)

(dramatic music)
