Baylin...

Baylin... Baylin...

Baylin... Baylin...

Baylin.

Baylin?

You were drooling on my Frelinghoffer.

It is unwise

To startle someone skilled at combat.

Well, look...

I just want everything to be perfect

For when Dr. Peterson arrives.

It's not every day you get to interview

For a prestigious grant.

It's about time the world recognized

Hans Zarkov is a bona-Fide genius.

Uh, yes, well,

Nobody's bandied the word "genius" about

Quite yet, although they would

If they knew about these...

You got the second rift blaster working?

Oh, buddy!

You are so getting this grant!

Look at that.

Well, the equipment

I could get with proper funding.

I could build a zettahertz

Spectrum analyzer

And increase the sentinel's capacity

To detect vibrational anomalies,

Might even get a new toaster oven.

Oh, hey, cowboy, don't go crazy.

First things first. We have to conceal

Anything that has to do

With my work on dimensional rifts.

When we're finished in here,

There won't be any evidence

That Mongo even exists.

Uh...

Since these rifts are a secret,

What'll you talk about during this interview?

That i'm researching

The general study of dimensional resonance.

I just have to avoid telling him anything about things like

Rankol's rift generator

Or the access points in the dimensional veil,

Or three moons over Mongo...

He'd think i was crazy,

And i don't want to go down that road again.

No! What if i can't think of a thing to say

That's not exactly what i shouldn't say?

Zarkov, calm down.

The most important thing about this interview

Is that you sound credible.

And... and, yeah, hey--

Try not to do this, okay?

All right?

We'll just, uh...

Hide the sentinel, and we'll all be set.

Maybe we should think about

Hiding the alien with the big shiny knife.

Uh, Baylin, you, uh...

You going somewhere?

To Mongo.

Why?

I have been summoned by the voices of the dead.

Did she just say--

Yeah. Um...

Do you talk to these dead people often

I do not speak to the dead.

They so me.

Oh, well, as long as you only listen,

There's nothing odd about that.

For three days,

The voices have called.

They wish me to return immediately.

Can't you just ignore them?

I know when i hear voices, i generally...

Never mind.

Baylin,

This is a little out of the blue.

Not to mention implausible

It is honor day--

When all on Mongo

Remember those lost in the great sorrow.

I must join the Verden delegation

At the caves of sorrow.

Greetings on this joyous honor day.

I would like to remind our visiting Verden friends

That if they have not yet reported for enrollment,

They may do so after the ceremony.

Rankol.

Are you going to the ceremony like that?

You really should

Find yourself something else to wear.

I am a man of few needs.

Oh, indeed.

The Verden enrollment

Is proceeding as planned,

But we are meeting

With some resistance.

Ah, they are a stubborn lot.

I don't care what it takes.

I want them rounded up and brought to justice.

If Barin will not pay for his crimes,

Then his people will do it for him.

But on honor day?

Surely their punishment can wait until new moon?

Punishment?

No, Rankol.

This is not a punishment.

It's a gift.

a gift

of justice

What better way

To honor this sacred day?

The enrollment will continue.

I thought i told you no mistakes?

I'm so sorry, father.

I will not let it happen again.

So this honor day is a pretty big deal

On Mongo?

Our most important and solemn day.

I only made the journey once.

My family was chosen to be among the delegation

When i was a child.

Let's not forget,

Please, that my interview is later today, here.

So, exactly how far are these caves?

Because you've got enough packed there for a week.

These are not for me.

They are tributes to the guardians of the spirits.

Guardians?

Verden men who keep constant vigil

Outside the caves.

To let the spirits know they have not been forgotten.

So you're bringing them

Pastries?

Such delicacies will show much appreciation

To the spirits.

In that case, we're coming with you.

"The wrath will be unyielding!

"The planet will be destroyed--

"By firestorms, by quakes,

"By clouds of death!

"The vengeance will be...

Profound!"

A little over the top, don't you think?

The tale of the sorrow is a tragic one, Aura.

You know, your own rehearsal

Could use a little bit more intensity, hmm?

Go on.

"And they turned their eyes from the omens."

I've recited these lines a hundred times,

Like any child schooled on Mongo.

Why do i even have to be part of this ceremony?

Because people find comfort in tradition.

It is why I wear the customary cloak

Of the pre-Sorrow dignitaries.

I'm expected to preside, you beside me.

Can't you appoint me

Something more important to do?

Aura.

You underestimate the relevance of this ritual.

Commemorating the great sorrow

Also acknowledges gratitude

For the current circumstances of our beautiful planet.

A translation-- Gratitude to you.

Gratitude

Encourages obedience.

Something you could exercise more.

His criticism was unfounded.

You dare speak to me?

Forgive me.

I could not stay silent

When beauty had been so maligned.

You presume to know beauty?

In your case, it cannot be denied,

Even by a fool such as I.

And are you a fool?

Of the first order.

I am a mere player, blessed

To help you tell the tale of the sorrow.

Well, I cannot permit you to participate in this ritual.

If I have offended you...

My father already thinks I don't care.

I cannot afford to be distracted by your dazzling smile.

Your father underestimates his people,

But it shocks me

To see that he would do the same to you.

My father loves his people.

Your father loves many things more.

I should take my leave

Before your eyes intoxicate me any further.

Until the convergence

Of the moons.

And our two souls.

More hands can carry more tribute.

The guardians will be pleased.

Yeah, that's great.

I just don't know why we had to bring

Everything in Zarkov's cabinets.

I left the peculiar undergarments.

So honor day commemorates the sorrow,

But what is that, exactly?

Mongo was once a great society.

There was abundance, prosperity...

But it relied on a power source called xyrilium.

Xyrilium?

A mineral mined on the moon.

Which moon?

The largest.

The two smaller moons are constructs.

What, man made? Are you serious?

They were built to process the xyrilium.

But, then an accident on Mongo

Released its poisons into the air,

And the planet became uninhabitable.

Millions perished.

Memory charms.

The denzins hang them

To let the wandering spirits know they are not forgotten.

We are near.

When the moons converge, the Verden delegation

Will perform the remembrance ceremony

In honor of our ancestors.

Guardians!

They're dead.

To spill the blood of a guardian

On our sacred day...

The resting place...the seal has been broken

Baylin...don't

Wait...

Are those...

Victims of the sorrow.

I don't mean to be squeamish, but...

The resting place has been desecrated.

Oh!

Baylin!

Oh!

Please! Please!

Not in the sacred caves.

Take me outside to kill me.

Do not harm him.

He is just a frightened guardian.

Look at his clothes.

Sorry.

There's gotta be something here we can use as bandage.

This looks bad.

A moderate wound.

I am fortunate.

His aim is poor.

Please, forgive my assault.

I thought you were the marauders returning.

How is it you managed to survive?

I was hanging memory charms.

When i returned, I saw the thieves

hurrying off

their satchels full.

perhaps they were trying

To avoid getting caugth by the Verden delegation.

Why? What's in he worth killing for?

show them.

Yes.

All of these victims, they're buried with valuables?

To pay for their passage into the spirit world.

Vodka? You brought the guardians vodka?

I thought it was water in a decorative glass vessel.

What is vodka?

Two thirds of a martini,

Or a really good antiseptic.

Yeah.

This will have to do.

I'm just going to try to ease this out.

Or we could just do that.

Welcome.

Ah, senator.

Please enjoy your gift from the benevolent father.

Smile, aura.

Welcome.

Lovely to see you again.

Welcome.

Now, that is the smile the people love to see.

You're proud

Of admiring someone so far below your station?

Welcome.

Rankol?

My deepest regrets.

One moment.

Welcome. Enjoy your gifts...

Proton gun... check.

Imex... check.

Uh, rift blasters...

Got the--

Yoo-Hoo!

Ah.

Oh! Ha ha. Hi.

I knocked, but i guess you didn't hear me.

Yes. Um, no, i didn't.

I was just, uh...

I mean, no.

I was just...

Debra Peterson?

From graduate school.

Do you remember?

So you're Dr. Peterson from...

From the Marshall foundation.

It's good to see you again, Hans.

Or do you prefer Dr. Zarkov?

Uh, no. Hans.

Please. Hans.

When i saw your name

On the grant application,

I was curious. I mean...

Your white paper on extrapolating

The diopters of dimensional resonance

Was... was first rate.

Well, thank you.

I think

My initial research

Only scratches the surface.

With proper funding--

The sky's the limit.

Yes. The s... sky? Why would i go to the sky?

I keep my feet firmly on the ground.

Oh, it's an expression.

Right.

So, um...

Maybe I should have a look around.

Okay, sure. Um...

My lab is your...

Lab.

Nothing to hide here.

That should hold

Until we get you to a doctor.

I cannot travel.

I must wait for the Verden

and join them in speaking the rites.

Are you sure you didn't get

You didn't get your messages crossed?

Because there aren't any Verden here.

We laid the guardians to rest.

You should go.

Tend to your wounds.

Someone is coming

It must be the Verden.

Perhaps...

Perhaps not.

My weapon.

I'm guessing by the size

And smell...

Not the Verden delegation?

Ah, what good fortune.

We return to gather more riches,

And are given the gift of three fine slaves.

What are, uh...

Our chances of talking our way out of this?

If your tongue was a broadsword.

So, i guess the only chance we have

Is the element of, uh...

Surprise!

You thought you were having a bad day.

Oh!

Halt! Or his blood will flow.

A Verden would not kill within these walls.

Yeah.

But i'm not a Verden.

I think I just found my weapon.

Rundle...

Well done.

Let me guess-- Not a guardian?

I can't believe

They're forcing us to do this.

Just try and look busy.

They won't kill us... if we're useful.

I could look busy

For a long time.

Mm.

This feast is more savory

Than the Verden tribute we'd hoped for.

Not understand

Why the spirits would bring us to this circumstance.

If they're behind this,

Your ancestors are really starting to piss me off.

A Verden who consorts with a marauder is more vile than a deviate hencebeast

You should have gone.

I tried to warn you.

The spirits will deliver

A more excruciating punishment than i could ever inflict.

Ah! More water.

Hey, if you don't want that, i can take that off your hands.

Hey, hey! Comeone just one sip.

Ooh! Ohh...

That tastes like kilum, from a sap still.

What do you call the tree this flows from?

Vodka tree.

Ah...

Getting them drunk?

Hey, advantage we can get.

Your lab is sparse, but practical.

Oh! What's under here?

Oh, that's just, uh, a big-Screen TV...

We, uh... uh...

Have a look over he

Oh, Hans! It's a...

It's a fractal...

Isoscope

I maintain

That empirical evidence s-S-Should always dictate

The real scientist's

Next course of action.

I always thought that you were some crazy,

Idealistic, radical scientist.

In fact, I even found you to be

More than a little intimidating.

Me?

Oh...

The Verden insurgents are still refusing

To report for enrollment.

Implement my plan.

Commence the attack on the Verden.

Well, that was then, this is now.

Uh... nothing

Crazy or radical going on here.

Which does bring up, ahem, one question.

You were once institutionalized?

Oh.

You know about that.

We wet all of our applicants.

So, how would you describe your stability now?

My stability?

Well, if my stability is what you're concerned about,

Then i'm--

Oh!

This has...

This has... just, uh...

I'm a hawkman.

Cackaw-Cackaw!

It's just a costume.

For Halloween.

Greetings...

Denzins, canton delegates, and special visitors.

Let us be grateful

For our benevolent father.

Let us think of our ancestors

As we welcome the convergence of the moons.

The moons have aligned.

The Verden have not come. I do not understand.

So any help with a rescue is gone?

I guess it's up to us, then.

Indeed.

What are you doing, Verden?

Preparing for the honor ceremony.

I think not.

I still have one good arm.

Do you wish to have only one good foot?

Your foolishness is amusing.

But amuse me too much,

And i'll cut you down like I did the guardians.

Okay, okay, whoa. Easy.

Hey, hey!

Come on...

It's all fun and games

Until someone loses an eye.

Uh, if she said the rites,

It would harm no one.

And...

Perhaps it would appease the spirits.

If I was a spirit,

I could use some appeasing about now.

Come on, she's no good to us

With only one arm anyway.

Amuse me, Verden.

It began in a time

Of prosperity and amusement.

Mongo was blue

And green.

The ground fertile,

The water plentiful.

Mongo was generous to the people.

But the people were ungrateful.

They wanted more than the land could provide,

when could not give no more,

They turned their eyes to the sky,

For the moon was vast...

And had gifts to give.

the Moon had abundant gifts.

And soon it came to pass

That two brother moons were placed in the sky,

And they were called Arkaylia and Surd.

And they were built to shelter the travelers who came to plunder the moon's gifts

And they returned to Mongo,

With the moon's...

...bounty,

They rejoiced,

For it was a glowing red ore.

And they thought that it was good.

But soon there were portents of a coming disaster.

Hot winds and crimson dust.

For the red ore was not of this soil.

But all eyes turned away from the omens...

For the moon's bounty had brought new prosperity

And new amusement.

They turned their eyes from the omens.

And, then...

In a great explosion of thunder,

A ball of fury ignited the sky!

The ground quaked and the children cried.

For they were afraid.

Dark clouds of death engulfed the cities.

Burning rain seared their skin,

And the children cried,

"what have you done?"

Crops turned to ash!

Beasts fell where they stood.

The water turned gray.

And the children cried--

Why has this come to pass?

Because we chose prosperity and amusement,

And we took more

Than the land could give,

And we were ungrateful.

Extinction was upon the land.

So a congregation was chosen to go to the sky.

An exodus to the moon Arkyla

For three generations.

One one-Hundredths...

...of one one-Hundredths of the people.

All who remained on Mongo soon perished.

One day, they saw fire clouds vanish.

The time had come for the grand return.

And they returned.

The planet had changed.

The new world was hostile.

They were grateful for what they'd been given.

And, in return,

Mongo gave them a well of bubbling sourcewater.

And once again, there was hope.

A declaration was made to honor the lost ancestors.

A promise of peace

And harmony

We will not reap more than we sow.

We will not take more than the land can offer.

Our want for comfort and amusement

Will not lead us astray.

When we see an Omen...

we will not turn away

And we will be grateful for what we are given.

We light the fire of remembrance

As a promise...

...to live in accordance with this covenant.

I promise.

I promise.

I pr...

She's still breathing.

She's burning up.

Don't waste good water.

The wound reopened.

No wonder she's feverish.

I need bandages.

A wounded bird will bring no coin

On the labor market.

Let her die.

This wounded bird is wanted by Ming.

There's a price on her head.

And I'm going to get her bounty,

But her head has to be alive for that.

But she is your friend.

By telling them to be someone's friend

Is a good way to trick them, isn't it?

You tend to her wounds.

I'll collect the bounty.

You had to tell them.

You missed a cue.

Forgive me.

I was distracted by your powerful performance.

Really?

And the beauty of your face.

Really?

You have many dignitaries

Waiting to congratulate you.

I don't think you should make your father unhappy.

My father is always unhappy with me.

And I want to leave his boring party.

Where will you celebrate honor day?

The Steephouse.

Where you cannot follow.

Are you afraid to take me with you?

Perhaps I shall order you.

The only thing more compelling

Than your beauty

Is your fire.

Are you afraid of being burned?

I dream

Of throwing myself on the flames.

I could have you killed for saying such a thing.

I'd gladly die for the chance.

Yet you would not remember me more than a season.

How can you say such a thing?

How many hearts

Have you crushed...

...trying to reach your father's?

Aura.

You neglect your duties.

The son of my chief architect

Requests an introduction.

So, any psychological aberrations

That may have been present?

Gone.

All gone.

I promise.

Yep.

You see before you a reasonable, stable scientist.

You won't find anybody

More normal than Dr. Hans Zarkov.

I want to give you this grant, Hans,

But i can't.

You used to be so quirky,

I was sure that you became

This eccentric genius,

Willing to challenge

Conventional thinking. I am.

We're looking for candidates with bold ideas--

I can be bold.

...willing to think outside the box.

I'm totally out of the box.

But there's nothing wrong with being,

As you said yourself, just normal.

It was good to see you again, Hans.

Goodbye.

Wait!

I was just pretending

That i was inside the box!

I have no box!

I'm a b-- Completely boxless

Kind of guy.

In fact...

I should be locked up again!

I, your malevolent-- Er, um...

Benevolent father,

Have united the tribes under one flaw--

Uh, law-- Law.

I alone was compassionate enough

To free you from the burden of self rule.

I have a plan, children!

No matter how much water i must hide...

...there will be prosperity.

No matter how many tribes i must slaughter,

There will be peace.

Rrrrr...

Oh, father,

The Verden have become independent again.

May we crush them, father?

Please, father, please?

What a wonderful idea!

I'm so glad I thought of it myself.

Take away their strength.

We have crushed the Verden leader

and have they obeyed?

No.

Take away their hope.

We have crushed

The Verden homeland.

And have they submitted?

No.

Then take away their spirit.

I don't think

That's possible.

I don't mean to interrupt.

please continue

I will crush the Verden

And anyone else who dares defy me,

And i will take great pleasure

in doing so.

Now i know why your people call you

Ming the merciless.

They say it because they love me.

Oh.

I am always so moved to see

An artist at work.

May i?

Mm.

The, uh, the artistry...

and the craftsmanship

And you were very, um...

Very amusing.

I earned the name Ming the merciless

With the blood I spilled in the Banelands

And the lives i took at Arboria and Trevoree.

Now I rule this planet.

I command mighty armies with a word,

And, still, I will dirty my own hands

To protect my people.

And the respect of honor day!

I told you he was beneath you.

Now look what you've done.

I must finish.

You need to rest,

Or you won't be able to finish.

You'll take care of me next.

Hey! Get your hands off her!

He just wants to have a little fun.

release her!

Never rumped an Omadrian before.

Few have!

Let go!

let go of me, you pig!

watch your pig

Defeated! By an Omadrian!

Come on, Baylin.

come on Dale!

Flash!

Dale!

Dale!

She may not be conscious.

Ow!

Look out, look out, look out.

Dale!

Dale?

Come here, sweetie.

Come on out.

Dale, are you okay, hon?

I think so.

He sheltered me in the cave-In.

Thank you.

How did you find me at the Steephouse?

Did you have someone follow me?

Your own poor judgment

Forced my hand.

You cannot blame me for this.

You murdered him in cold blood.

He disrespected me!

Disrespect leads to discontent.

discontent to chaos,

I will protect my people!

And i do that by preventing dissent.

He sought only to please me.

Aura.

You cannot be so naive as to believe

This roublerouser was actually interested in you

Yes, he was.

Why else would he risk talking to me?

How better to disrespect me?

And by paying attention to him, you disrespected me.

And for that, he had to die.

No.

I killed him for you on honor day

That is on my hands, on my heart for the rest of my days

That is really going to keep you up at night

And I will leave in accordance to this covenant

I promise

I promise

I promise

I promise

It's a beautiful ceremony Baylin

Thank you for honoring the spirits with me

We really should get somebody to look at your arm

Go

I must keep vigil in honor of the spirits

I owe them pennance

If no Verden delegation was sent to the cave on honor day then

They must be suffereing a great tragedy

Cannot leave Mongo now

Then we'll stay with you

You were right Baylin

The spirits of the dead did summon you

The people need your help
