Ituri!

I am Maciste.

Maciste, I came for you.

My people are destroyed.

My son Loth is a prisoner.

Save him.

Avenge me.

I ...

Aran ...

Where are they?

Let us fly! Let us fly! They killed everyone! They showed no mercy!

Tell me who they were. Who was it?

Mole men.

But mole men don't exist.

I saw them come out of the darkness.

They slaughtered us with lightning speed.

I have been alone ever since.

Aran. I am alone of all the people.

They took the few survivors away.

women, men, children ...

I saw the King CavaIIo ...

No!

Hey you!

There gone.

You can come out.

I will be your slave forever, I owe you my life.

You owe life to your mother.

- What's your name? - Bango.

Listen, Bango, every man who is born receives the gift of freedom.

There should be neither slaves nor owners. Do you understand?

No, sir.

Good morning, sir.

You, my boss.

- Let's go. - Yes, master.

- Do you know where? - Where?

To find the mole men.

Wait!

Wait, sir!

Many horses and no men.

These horses must have owners.

Exactly, so we should leave.

- What do you say, Bango? - The mole is good to eat.

Be careful now.

You see?

Yes, master.

Do you understand?

No, sir.

Beware.

We'll sleep here.

But it's not a nice place to sleep. I know a cave.

Down there.

Under the great tree sleep well.

They go to the big oak tree. You should tell Katar.

Katar!

Katar, two men have entered our area.

- Must be ... - Who?

A black man and white man.

They prepare to sleep under the big oak tree.

The warriors are ready. As soon as it's dark, go out.

But your wound, I ...

Don't worry. Go!

I did not expect such luck.

Cielo has helped me immensely

to regain the confidence of my men,

- to calm your anger, my father. Everything is ready.

Mind you, there will be much pain.

I do not care,

as long as I can grasp weapons this very night.

Our powerful moon, light the night,

guard us and assist our priest.

Help!

Stop!

Come!

Maciste!

Maciste!

Finally! Maciste, save us.

Maciste!

- Maciste! - Loth!

How is this possible? How could they capture you?

There was no other way to reach you.

- Do you understand now? - Yes, master.

Bango, you should not be here. Where is Saliura?

Where's the princess Saliura?

- I had been entrusted. - I ... I was ...

Enter, Kahab. Come here.

Come forward.

What's thy name?

Saliura.

You're pretty, Saliura.

And young.

It would be a mistake to unite our slaves, true Kahab?

You are truly a creature of the sun.

For this, you will serve to attract the thanks of the goddess of the night.

Take her away!

Rejoice, Halis Mosab.

For a long time, our energy source ...

has been in more danger of collapse.

We captured more prisoners.

Lead me, I want to see them.

It's just a matter of ...

waiting for the right moment.

I came here to free you and your people.

- I have sworn to your father. - I know, but listen ...

Attention! Attention!

Come on, wake up!

Wake up!

TTime to assemble. Come on!

Courage!

Keep walking!

Keep moving!

- Oh, they whip me! - Shut up.

Master, but they whipped me.

I told you to shut up.

Look who's talking?

As long as the wheel turns at this rate,

gold mining and diamonds will double ...

and you will be queen; the most powerful in the world.

A queen so powerful that only the sun could kill.

Who are those two? The black and white ones.

They are very strong, perhaps the strongest in the world.

My son, Katar, captured them.

You are brave, Katar.

Brave enough to pass the test ...

required to become my husband?

I will, Halis Mosab.

True, very strong. And beautiful.

Bango ... Bango ...

- Tulak! - Sh ...

- I thought you were dead. - I, too, Tulak.

We can not lose an instant.

Listen, Bango, tomorrow is the feast of the full moon.

When the night falls, I will come to get you.

- We will take you outside. Are you listening? - Yes

- You will have to fight, Bango. - Who, me?

With him.

The queen saw you and was impressed by your strength.

She wants to see you fight.

All the mole men will watch you.

- But how do you know? - I am the slave of the queen.

And the princess?

- Who are you? - The son of King Ituri.

- The queen wants a sacrifice tomorrow. - Cursed!

Sh! You must flee, tomorrow or never!

I'll take care of everything.

The supreme council of elders ...

ruled that before offering sacrifice to the goddess of the night,

the queen will make it known how she intends to choose ...

who will have her heart and rule at her side.

Show the sacrificer.

Well, here's my decision.

He who in single combat,

wins without weapons ...

I will choose as my husband.

Do you want to be first, Katar?

He forgets that his wound is still open.

He will compete as you want, but next moon.

Is there anyone who wants to try?

I do!

For your sake, Halis Mosab, I ask for the privilege.

You're so young ...

Give him a sword.

Bring the prisoners.

Do you know? A princess ...

was to become queen.

My warriors die for their queen.

You are very strong and I imagine you are also brave.

I command that you fight against each other.

And whomever wins, will have the honor of entering the cage ...

to defend the princess.

We're finished.

Let me win.

- If the monster kills you ... - Come on, Bango!

Let me win, sir.

Do you not fear it more?

Yes. But if you kill the monster, the prisoners are lost.

Sorry, Bango.

Bravo. I knew you were strong. Then it's up to you.

No! No!

Loth, follow me.

No, leave!

I did not think you would win, Maciste.

You have earned your right to become my husband.

But first you must sacrifice the princess to the goddess of the night.

Your cruelty has no bounds, Halis Mosab.

But I do not fear you. You will pay for your sins, cursed woman.

Sieze him!

To the horses!

Let's go!

That way!

The sun is about to rise. We must return.

Your son and the others will not return.

Wait.

Listen, someone is coming.

My son, Katar!

Katar!

Father!

But my son! Katar! Quickly!

Quickly!

Quickly, my son..

The others did not arrive in time.

He defeated us all.

The man is invincible.

Katar! Katar, my son!

The sun!

The sun! Come, my son. Inside, quickly.

Wait.

This is the one who built the sacred waters of the sun.

- I entrust her to you until my return. - Come.

- I beseech you, save Loth. - Have faith.

This place is secure. No one has ever dared to profane it.

It's not the home of a princess but you can rest here.

The negligence of this man ...

claimed the lives of many of our brave.

If he had watched as was his duty,

Maciste could not have escaped and escaped our vengeance.

It's up to you, lady, to pronounce sentence.

Guilty.

- In the shafts of the sun - No! No! In the shafts of the sun, no!

No! No! The shafts of the sun!

No! No! The shafts of the sun! no!

No! No!

The sun, no!

I condemned him.

But you are also responsable.

Maciste has offended me.

An offense that will be washed in blood.

Now that Maciste is no longer here, you show such courage.

You, as head of the warriors, must be more responsible.

You will be judged after doing your duty.

No! No! The sun no!

No! No! The sun no!

I do not want to die! No! No!

I do not want to die! No! No!

It's frightening!

And it always will be ...

until we can end this terrible slavery.

It was the fate of your fathers The fate and will of my children.

No, not so.

And now you know.

Halis Mosab does not belong to our race.

The Queen is not of our race?!

She was a kidnapped girl from a kingdom that we had destroyed.

Halis Mosab?! What do you mean?!

Does she know?

She does not know and should not ever know.

All those who knew this secret were killed.

Today only the supreme guardian knows.

She can see the sun!

For this you must marry the queen.

The new breed will be born from you and will be able to finally live in the light.

Your sons, your children's children will be ...

released from this eternal darkness.

Enough!

Where did you learn to play this instrument?

Where did you learn?!

As a child.

In my own country.

Before you I destroyed it, Halis Mosab.

Do you know why I destroyed thy country?!

And to all of you!? Do you know?!

We will destroy everybody that can live in sunlight,

because we are condemned not to ever see it.

You've seen the sun? Do you remember it?

Tell me about it?

It's like a caress of love.

Halis Mosab, justice is done.

The man was executed.

And now, with your permission,

I have to tell you something that I hope will gently calm you.

Speak.

I must speak to you alone.

My son has already left with his warriors.

He knows Maciste is coming back.

In time, you will know that of all your subjects, Katar is the greatest ...

and the most valiant and worthy for you to marry.

I grant your son three cycles of the moon ...

to take the head of Maciste,

otherwise it will be his downfall.

Hurry!

This way!

Drop your vines!

Hurry!

Quickly.

March!

Your death will be memorable, Maciste.

You will die with your friends, Bango and Loth.

Take them away!

Thank you, Katar.

My son has proved worthy, Halis Mosab.

How do you know of the black one? Come, I speak of Bango.

We love each other. One night our tribe was attacked.

You massacred all the warriors,

I was dragged here with the other slaves.

You hate me, true, Tulak?

I've thought of killing you.

What kept you?

The thought that you are also unhappy.

It's true. Sometimes I have a feeling ...

that I do not belong to my race.

How I'd like to live in freedom,

to be kissed from the sun like you.

- You love that man, do you not? - Yes

Bango should pay with the others.

But to make you happy, I will entrust his fate to his strong friend.

It seems that his strength is immeasurable.

Devise a punishment that will allow us to truly test it.

And if he's really the strongest man in the world, who knows ...

Such a spectacle has neve been seen.

You're a genius, Halis Mosab.

The people will always remember this execution.

And if the giant resists?

Impossible. Human resistance has limits.

And he is a condemned man, not a god.

He is strong!

But he will soon have to give in!

My son was able to capture the man ...

and bring him to you.

Remember, Halis Mosab.

It was not to do. I guarantee it.

Watch til the end.

Enough! Enough!

I implore you, stop!

Rise!

If he can resist another weight, you may bring them a drink.

You are always generous, Halis Mosab.

Forgive me, Bango,

if this time I will not be able to do it.

No matter, sir. Do not worry about me.

Loth ...

I promised Saliura to bring you back alive ...

and instead I bring death.

No, not you, but the wicked Mosab Halis.

Goodbye. You'll find thy place in Olympus

next to the Gods of good.

I would bet that this is the last weight.

An easy bet, Katar.

The eighth weight corresponds to the fatigue of 48 of our soldiers.

It's a pity to kill a man so strong.

If he resists this, I grant him his life.

For a turn of moon.

Release it. I can take no more.

Try to die with courage.

Yes, master.

- Master ... - Bango ...

I am not afraid, sir. Goodbye.

Enough!

Tulak!

You?!

What do you want from me?

Follow me.

You can trust her.

See this diamond? It is the largest in the world.

Every day we tear one from the bowels of the earth.

You'll be my husband, and rule at my side,

you'll be the richest of all kings.

How many lives does this wealth cost?

And these devices, tell me, what such afflictions cost per day ...

to other human beings?

How can you think that I'd share with you

a throne that is founded on blood, oppression of his fellow men,

injustice, cruel power?

It is not I that wants this power.

I was born a queen.

I hate this darkness.

I hate this enclosure.

Why do not you rebel? Why do not you run away?

And how could I? The sun would kill me.

I am condemned not to ever see the sunlight.

But if you accept to become my husband,

My sons will be freed from this eternal darkness.

The queen has betrayed us.

She must die.

If I marry you, will you free the prisoners and the slaves?

Yes, I'll do anything you want.

Even if I had to stop the big wheel that moves all the mechanisms,

even if I die.

Help!

Help!

Hasten!

You are in mortal danger, Halis Mosab!

He, the guardian of the sacred lions, and the only culprit.

- He must pay! - It's not true!

And I'll kill you!

Should I condemn you all for your negligence!

Not only the escape of the sacred lions.

The prisoner could have escaped!

But this time, not wanting to, I have avoided a horrible end.

I am forced to forgive.

Kahab, lead the prisoner ...

to the lodging that the queen reserves for her friends.

Here, this is the lodging that the queen has destined you.

Everything is ready.

You must do it in a manner, Katar,

that no trace remains of his body.

Halis Mosab!

- My Queen, Kahab says ... - Speak!

Maciste has fled!

Have you misplaced your trust, Halis Mosab?

The order to not keep watch was given by you yourself.

It's not possibiIe! He could have fled before ...

Love is stronger than anything and Maciste is in love.

Who?

You need to ask?

Saliura, the princess that he had saved from sacrifice ...

and whom he hid where no ne knows.

So?

No, no trace.

We have not seen even which direction he took.

If at least we knew his hiding place!

There are some who know.

So?

Come on, speak!

What is the refuge of Saliura?

Where has Maciste fled? You must know!

It's useless. Just useless.

I know the way to make him talk.

It was a perfect escape.

The watchman killed all at once.

Bravo. I would have fallen too.

Ther will remain no trace of the body.

And the Queen will never know the truth.

Come on, come on!

Bango!

Why? Why?!

It is she who has betrayed us she released Loth,

She helped Maciste to escape!

Tulak!

Listen carefully, Tulak.

I will free him now ...

if you tell me where is the refuge of Maciste and Saliura.

I do not know.

- Think about it, TuIak. - I do not know , I swear.

- Do you want Salvaro? - Yes

Then persuade him to speak.

He knows.

Why are you so cruel, Bango?

Do not see how she suffers?

So you want us to continue? Want to talk?!

Continue!

No, enough! I will tell you everything!

Enough! I will tell you everything!

See that my escorts are ready to leave.

Speak.

Saliura, the princess, is in the cave of the waterfall.

Forgive me, Tulak ...

- What do you hope to do? - To reach them.

Revenge, kill with my hands.

The dawn is near, it would be suicide.

And you'd be what he wants to share the throne with me?

A horse!

Why do not obey! He who loves his queen will follow!

Move! Come on!

Come on! Move!

Move! Move!

Move! Move!

Men of Aran, you are free!

Go!

Let's go, onward!

Let's go! Go, to the exit!

Maciste, if the wheel stops, no one will get out.

We are trapped.

I'll take the wheel.

- Alone? - Yes, alone. Go!

What's happening?

- What is it?! - We were misled.

Maciste has freed all.

Hurry, hurry!

Master!

Lord, stop!

Stop, I tell you.

Leave it.

It is useless. Kahab has tricked us. There is no way out.

Sir, We are trapped forever.

Bango, call the others and bring all the chains you can find.

- Yes, master. - Run!

Let's stop.

We must climb the mountain without horses.

There is still time, if you wish to go back.

No!

The sun will rise soon, think about it!

Leave me alone.

We can at least find shelter before is too late.

Let me go! Life for me no longer has any value ...

until my thirst for revenge has been appeased!

Halis Mosab ...

Halis Mosab, forgive me,

But I have the order of to kill you.

Strike, then! What are you waiting for?

Why don't you do it?!

Because I love you.

It is farewell now? Soon the sun will kill us.

No, not you!

You're not ...

You're not of our race.

You do not belong to the darkness to the realms.

The sun is not your enemy! Oh, God!

Let's go!

Quickly! Quickly!

Around the pillar, come on!

Come on, turn!

Over here now!

This way!

Come on!

Turn!

Go!

Away all! Stay away! Take cover!

Lord, I want to help.

- No longer afraid? - No. - Let's go, then.

No, I will.

Will no longer be.

Who knows what will become of Loth?

You do not know Maciste.

I assure you that he keeps his promises.

My heart tells me that he will, I feel it.

Careful, Halis Mosab!

Halis Mosab ...

I've seen ... the sun ...

Saliura!

Saliura!

Loth!

Sir, I'm here.

What have you got there?

Diamonds, master. I took them from the mole men.

Saliura ... Loth ... You will reign together in a just kingdom.

Bango, those riches will help to rebuild their city.

That the light will be gracious to you!
