Original subtitles

Keep your eyes open and your weapons loaded.

Let's find Marianne!

There you are.

Breakfast is ready.

Does it frighten you?

I can have it taken away.

No, Papa, I like it.

You scare me sometimes.

- Why would you like a skull? - It has drawings on it.

Who made them?

The headhunters, from the jungle.

And...

why do they do it?

Because they're ruthless.

And that's why we're here: to bring civilization in these lands.

And now...

you have a mission too, it's called breakfast.

Your Aunt Frances made you a cake.

You'll like it. You'll see.

Put this on his eyes.

What is it?

It will soothe his pain.

Will I ever see it again?

The cobra's venom is strong, but you survived the night.

There's hope.

When I was poisoned...

I saw my parents.

My father.

His name was...

Makota.

You know him?

Don't ask me. Ask the jungle.

Another trial? As a blind man?

The jungle speaks to the Dayak people.

You don't need eyes to listen.

You will be his guide.

Enjoy it. It's our last.

- What's that old man doing? - He's medicating him.

Mm-hm.

After almost killing him?

We have to leave and fast.

Sandokan has to make that decision. You know that.

Sani.

I know you were at the mines.

My father might be there.

Do you remember him? Tuwak Duda...

Did you see him?

I...

...I'm not sure.

My man is there too.

Have you seen him? He's tall.

I don't know... I'm sorry.

I'm sorry...

Be quiet!

Give her time to answer.

What happens to the prisoners?

Tell us.

Our brothers and sisters...

...are treated like animals.

In fact, worse.

Their hands and feet are bound with metal chains.

They're forced to dig into the rock...

...to burn the forest.

And what do we do?

We stay here... afraid...

No, Sandokan is here, the prophecy says...

Do you believe the old men's fairy tales too?

Your brother believed them.

My brother... is dead.

And he must be avenged.

We are warriors.

- And the time has come to fight! - That's enough!

What are we waiting for, father?

So we can end up in chains like the others?

No one knows... what tomorrow brings.

Today... we are free.

And we are hungry.

But you bicker and do nothing.

Sandokan will join the hunt.

Let's go!

Hunting with a blind man...

We are just wasting time

while your brother slaves away at the mines.

If he's still alive.

Listen to the jungle? Go on a hunt when you're blind?

You used to laugh at such nonsense.

That old man knows more than he's saying.

Kilima, it's all right, let's go!

Bajau, it's too dangerous, they took my father!

What's the matter?

There's no food here.

The gatherers must go farther away to find it

and they're afraid to.

For as long as we're hiding...

we will always be afraid.

Still better than getting killed.

Or worse.

The jungle is their home.

And the Sultan is taking it away from them.

What would you do?

Let's go hunt, blind man.

We will see you in the village by sundown.

She was here.

Captain?

So was the pirate.

Signs of a struggle.

The Sultan's men must have captured them. We got here too late.

I wouldn't be so sure.

- Look at this. - Dayaks!

Dayaks!

The Sultan said he enslaved them all.

Once again, he was lying.

Marianne could be anywhere in a jungle that never ends!

I'll find her.

Even if it takes forever.

Men!

Accidents do happen on a hunt.

God knows I've had a few myself.

If you shoot, all the animals will bolt.

And they won't come back.

Animals are the least of my concerns right now.

You came to hunt.

So let's hunt.

Let me help you.

Pass me a dart.

Listen.

Listen.

How did you do it?

I listened.

What is it?

Nothing.

You have to cook it, silly. Like a potato. You don't eat raw potatoes, do you?

Where is Kilima?

I saw her head into the jungle with her family.

There's no more fruit here...

Look!

Huri, Linggi!

Eat, eat.

Bajau, we came too far...

Soon it'll be dark, let's go home.

Ahh.

Stop! In the name of the Sultan!

Kilima! Run!

Run!

No, no, I'm not hungry.

Dayak people share everything.

Even if it isn't much.

Makai dulu.

You eat first.

Sandokan!

My son says you were lucky during the hunt.

Do Dayak people believe in luck?

Thank you.

Why do you English always use these words?

"Thank you."

You say it when someone gives you something

but expects nothing in return.

Did I say something wrong?

When everything is shared, "thank you" is superfluous.

It was the same with...

with my Indios.

Right, Yanez!

You have so many unneeded words.

"Rich," "poor," "thief."

How can you steal...

when everything is shared?

You understand.

Perhaps you've met the wrong English people.

Get him to eat.

We need him to be strong.

Aren't you hungry?

You hunt with closed eyes, yet you can't eat on your own.

Come on, eat! What's wrong today?

I don't want dad to go to war.

Have you seen the devils burning the forest?

What's the promise of the Kayan?

Protect what we are given...

...fight for what was taken.

Let's go!

What's wrong?

I saw my father...

on his way to war.

What else did you see?

Just darkness.

You once told me...

that if you want to defeat the fear of darkness

you have to walk straight into it.

The old man was right.

It does me good to be here.

With you.

Father, Kilima and her family haven't returned.

I will get some men, and we will search for them.

No.

No one will go anywhere.

They will find their way back.

But what if they've been captured?

They will know what to do.

Like Lamai?

I already lost a son. I don't want to lose another.

I am not him.

Speak!

Speak!

Speak!

From the little Malay I know, they're asking her about their village.

And... gadis putih. Something about a white girl.

Marianne.

Our old friend is there too.

Timul, the Sultan's scout.

Speak!

Where are your people?

Don't! I'll do what you want.

Let them go.

It's done.

She's taking them to the village.

Good. We'll follow them.

You don't agree, Sergeant?

War is war.

But torturing women and children...

What's your name?

My name... is Marianne.

Tupi!

There you go.

- Rentau! - Rentau!

Kella!

Manau!

Kella! Kella!

- Kella! - Kella!

- Can you see? - No. But I hear you.

And what do you hear?

A colonizer in action.

Today you teach them to write, tomorrow to read.

In a week they'll know the English anthem by heart.

You overestimate me. I'm learning far more than they are.

I should almost thank you for kidnapping me.

Lovers! Lovers!

Lovers!

Lovers! Lovers!

What does that mean?

- What do they want? - I don't know.

I think they want us to follow them. It must be a game.

Let's play then.

It's marvelous.

What are you thinking about?

That I don't have a family anymore.

We are dying.

But my father is wasting time.

If Kilima doesn't come back tomorrow...

...my men and I will search for her.

We are your family... and your brothers and sister are in danger.

And the man of the prophecy...

...is distracted with a woman.

Lovers! Lovers!

Lovers! Lovers!

What does it mean?

I think... they just married us.

As a game.

As a game?

I see you.

You are ready now, Aliyak.

Let's go.

Makota. You have united our tribes.

You faced the devils.

You drove them away.

The forest is safe because of you!

Lamai!

Behave.

Makota.

Balau.

Today, we celebrate a victory, it's true.

But we must not forget our fallen brothers and sisters.

Let us sing.

The tiger...

...is awakening.

Maybe there's still hope.

Now I remember.

My father was there.

I thought he died in battle. But he won. He was alive.

Balau was there too.

That old man owes me some answers.

What's wrong?

We are here.

The village is over there.

You go first.

You go first!

Go on.

Walk.

Go on, go on...

No!

The Lun Bawang die free.

Quit playing around! Tell us where the village or...

Don't be afraid. Don't be afraid.

Kaban. Friend. Friend. Aku kaban.

We're friends, yeah?

Follow them but keep your distance. They'll guide us to the village.

What the hell are you doing?

What are you looking at?

Get out of here!

Get out!

I don't give a damn if it's unloaded! They are children, for the love of God!

Have you lost your mind?

You lied to me.

You knew from the very beginning who my father is, who I am.

And you needed to find out on your own.

Take me to my father.

You are the Son of the Tiger.

And tomorrow you will meet your father and fulfill the prophecy.

So...

you're the Son of the Tiger.

What are you doing here?

Watching your back, as always.

This shaman is using you. Don't you see that?

He's helping him remember.

He's manipulating him, and he's doing the same thing to you.

What does she have to do with it?

Don't you realize the old man knows Guillonk is Marianne's father?

He believes that with Marianne's support

Guillonk will join the party.

He's desperate. He wants both of you.

The most feared pirate in the China Sea, and the English Consul's daughter.

But they will all end up dead.

And so will you.

I'm going to Java to join our men. What about you?

We leave tomorrow at dawn.

Yanez, wait.

Did you change your mind?

They need me.

You saw what's happening at the mines.

Yes, little brother, and it makes me sick. But I also saw the Sultan's army.

Their only hope is to stay hidden.

Their brothers and sisters are dying as slaves.

You know I used to be a priest,

but I never told you why I'm not one anymore.

I was on a mission in Amazonia, in a tribe similar to this one.

They were simple, generous people, and they were being oppressed.

I told myself it was my duty to help them.

That it was why God had sent me there.

I convinced them to rebel.

To pick up arms, and do you know how it ended?

With a mass grave.

Men, children, women... All innocent people, all executed.

Don't make my mistake.

Come with us to Java.

I'm sorry you lost your faith.

But I can't run away anymore.

What do you think, brother?

That you will free the slaves?

That you will build a happy little family in the jungle

with Marianne, mummy and daddy?

Take your hands off me.

Do as you wish.

But this time...

I'm not coming back for you.

Good luck, brother.

Come on.

It's useless. Don't insist.

Focus on looking for Emilio, and then we go.

Kilima and her family haven't returned.

Tonight, we're going to look for them.

Be ready.

Sani!

I don't know what he's thinking, but don't listen to him.

It has nothing to do with you.

Please, stay out of it.

Stay out of it?

I risked my life to come back to you.

I never asked you to.

You and I belong in different worlds.

Some things can't change.

Just as well.

I came to say goodbye.

We are leaving for Java.

Well, then...

ciao.

I think this time it's goodbye.

For good.

Let's go.

Not with her.

Why?

You have to take this journey alone.

You can see now. You don't need a nanny.

Come on.

The road is long.

Come on.

We're in Kayan territory now.

I don't see anyone.

You're still using your eyes.

Remember, Aliyak.

It's time.

I have to go back to my village.

The party has just begun.

Stay with us, Balau.

I'd like to, but my woman is about to give birth.

Another child? One is enough for me.

Dad! Dad! What happened? Did you kill the devils?

Were there a lot of them?

You learn what a battle is...

...when you fight in one.

Your day will come, Aliyak.

Yes, but I want to know now!

You really want to know?

Here is the battle!

Look after Aliyak!

They are attacking from above!

Stay here, hide!

What is the promise of the Kayan?

Protect what we are given...

...fight for what was taken.

No!

My love...

- No! - No, Your Majesty!

Drop your weapons and your lives will be spared!

Weapons on the ground!

Now!

We can't reason with these savages, Lord Guillonk.

Take no prisoners!

They hit the strongest man among us.

They knew with Makota...

they would kill all our hopes.

I thought I was the only survivor.

Until you arrived.

The prophecy speaks of a Tiger

capable of uniting all the tribes,

driving out the invaders.

We thought the Tiger was your father, but now I know...

you were the leader we've been waiting for.

- My father's murderer... - Is Marianne's father.

I only realized it yesterday.

The Consul's daughter...

I thought she was a carrier of light.

But now I know that she comes from the blackest of darkness.

Here you are.

You once told me that we'd never be friends.

But I know you.

What's wrong?

I'm leaving with Lang soon.

We're going to look for Kilima and her family.

It's dangerous.

When they kidnapped me and my brother,

I prayed every day that someone would come look for us.

I'll tell my father what's happening at the mines.

He'll change things.

Do you really think he'll understand?

It's not the only thing he'll have to understand.

What do you mean?

Certain things can only be told to a friend.

You fell in love with Sandokan.

Was it so obvious?

I know you too.

What are you doing?

One last dip. Who knows how long I'll be away.

Join me.

Here, let me...

Thank you.

Here’s Sani. Now we’re gathered.

First of all, let's search the route where Kilima did her gathering...

Bring help!

Linggi!

What happened? Where are your parents?

The Lung Bawang die free.

How did you escape?

White men attacked the devils and let us go.

Englishmen.

- They must have followed them. - Alert the other warriors.

And you, find Sandokan.

- Why? What's happening? - They are coming.

Why are you ignoring me? What's happened?

I'm sorry, I...

I should have let you leave with Yanez.

What are you talking about?

Tomorrow I'll find a way...

to send you home.

Tell me. What's happening?

You have to leave.

And what about us?

What about me and you and...

You and I...

will never amount to anything.

Why?

Why are you telling me this?

You and I cannot be...

because it was your father who took my father's life.

And I won't find peace until I avenge him.

But that's not true. It's not possible.

Ask your father... when you return to Labuan.

Stop right there!

Tie him up!

Marianne, come over here.

You're safe now.

It's over.

O'Hara!

Tie him up!

I'll have you back with your father.

I could kill you right here myself!

But I'll save that pleasure for the Consul!

On your knees!

Go on.

Run!

You saved me...

What are you talking about?

Stop!

This place will be crawling with Dayak warriors

and the Sultan's men any minute.

Marianne is safe!

That's all that matters.

Come!

Weapons ready!

Fucking idiot.

Pick your rope up!

Are you alright?

Yes? Can you walk?
