Original subtitles

There's something that bothers me.

If your God Crom cares about you why does he test you?

Because he chooses to.

Wouldn't it be simpler to ask you a couple of questions?

Who is this barbarian?

He is Conan, a great warrior.

Armies everywhere would give a hundred horses

to have him on their side.

And I'm Bathea, the virgin queen of Alta.

Really?

Do I look like a virgin queen?

You were in no condition,

rest time now.

I want my clothes.

There.

If I had known how much you'd eat

I would have left you in the forest.

I traveled a great distance,

and I did not ask to be invited.

Then you should stay awake and travel by horseback.

Mm, sometimes I do.

What did you do with your last horse, eat it?

No.

I'm sure you have it.

Where's my sword?

Well done.

I believe it deserves it.

Thank you.

I am Karella, queen of thieves.

Have you heard of me?

No.

Usually people who enter my forest with weapons

don't leave with them.

Usually people who push me in the river don't live.

Where are you headed, barbarian?

To find the wizard Yara.

Oh.

The wizard Yara, I know him.

He possesses a fine jewel

they call The Heart of an Elephant.

I have always wanted to steal it,

but only a fool would steal from a wizard.

He has another jewel, called Tamira,

which I will steal.

I did not take you for a fool.

I'll pay you back one day for your kindness.

You could repay me now.

I would rather find Otli.

I never let a stranger see my hidden lair

and then just walk away.

And I have never let anyone stop me

from going where I want to go.

Don't worry, I shall keep the secret of your lair.

Perhaps one day we'll meet again.

When you have less urgent business.

I take it we're in a hurry?

What, what?

No, no, no, no, wait, wait, wait, wait.

I'm tired of walking.

No, see, maybe these riders are friendly

and they'll lend us a horse.

No, no, if not, then we'll take some.

Who are you and who do you serve?

I'm Dor and I serve no one.

We have nothing to protect.

But where do you ride to?

Or do you just enjoy the smell of sweating horses?

We search for a warrior named Conan,

we hope he'll lead us.

To do what?

To rid this land of Hissah Zul.

We know Conan.

If you will spare us a couple of horses

we will ride with you to find him.

Ridding the land of Hissah Zul

is another matter and not our business.

We have but one horse, but you must share a saddle.

I know, I know.

You can't talk and you hate horses.

We'll be in Arenjun by nightfall.

Ever wonder what it's like to be my size?

I was your size,

when I was four.

Nobody takes you seriously, nobody.

Maybe it's the hat you're wearing.

What's wrong with my hat?

It's too close to the ground.

You see?

You ridicule me too.

No, enemies ridicule.

I just tease you a little.

Are you calling me a friend?

If you lead me to Tamira, you will a big friend.

We could surprise them.

For a moment, they are too strong.

We need more men and better weapons

before we try to face Goroth.

These are the men that destroyed our village!

Would you add your name to the list, farmer?

Yes, I do not care.

We must.

All right, we'll help you.

They seem content, but strange.

Yara prefers it that way.

What is this fog?

Right now it is harmless,

but Yara can poison it any time he wishes.

He also sends serpents scurrying through it

to kill those he wants killed.

All manner of things.

Just kidding, like friends do.

Where do we have to go?

Yara would have the jewel in the tower.

He also would have the girl there.

There are guards in the grounds,

but I know a way in back.

When we get inside the wall,

jump up once in a while so I can see you.

Is that a joke?

Do you hear me laughing.

Ah, there's no fog inside the wall.

He will probably have her up there

in his wing of the castle.

Wait here.

Do try to remember he is a wizard.

Wizards can die.

So can we.

Conan!

Tamira.

Oh, my Conan, how I have missed you.

Are you all right?

Yes.

Oh my Conan, I was so afraid.

Did he hurt you?

No.

Is it still too soon to talk about sons?

Maybe we should wait until we are safely out of Arenjun.

I'm sorry,

my father always said I was born in a hurry.

Having sons with you is all I have thought about.

Wait.

How will we escape?

The door to my room is open but I can't leave.

It's like there's an invisible wall,

and he's kept me here like a prisoner.

Oh, I think not.

I would say more like bait, barbarian bait.

Let us go wizard, or I cut you in half.

That is a great sword.

You will need it where you are going.

Kill me and she stays in that state forever,

do my bidding and I set her free.

What do you want?

I want you to go to the tower

and steal The Heart of the Elephant.

I was told it was yours

and that your power comes from it.

Stolen from me by the creature that guards it.

I still have enough power to control you.

I want it back.

What creature guards it?

It matters not.

It would matter greatly to me.

Bring me The Heart and I release Tamira,

fail and she is mine for a thousand lifetimes.

Release her from the mirror and I will go.

Why would I do that?

Because you want the stone,

and you don't want to die.

She's still in a trance.

And there she will stay until you return.

You may leave by the door this time.

It is beautiful.

So is the hood of a cobra.

Which way?

I dunno.

Oh, ah.

They guard Yara's treasure room, there are more.

When I was young I always figured

I would start to grow, any minute.

I waited a long time but.

You should have done this before.

You?

You noticed.

Look, if you're gonna be on top of me

at least lean on your elbows.

What are you doing here?

You said only fools would steal from wizards.

I changed my mind.

There was a dead guard out there, he was strangled.

He was trying to kill Yan.

Meet Yan, he's my best archer.

Ha!

Yan kills Conan, I cut Yan's throat.

She kills me.

I don't like this game.

Otli said there are more guards out there.

I don't know.

We just got here.

Is there another entrance?

Maybe over there.

No!

Oh.

Sorry.

He knew the risks.

You can have all the other jewels in the tower

but I must have The Heart of the Elephant.

No!

I came here for that stone too.

Yara will not set Tamira free

until I bring him this stone.

Listen, barbarian,

I may have been born in the dark

but it wasn't last night.

He speaks the truth.

Never has a woman that I've never even met

come between me and the things that I want so many times.

Do you agree?

All the other stones?

No tricks.

I must meet this Tamira some time.

Now, this is more like it!

You are welcome to The Heart of the Elephant, barbarian.

Are you sure that no thief

has ever come out of it alive?

Nary a one.

Conan, look at this stone.

It's beautiful.

Maybe the guards below killed some of the thieves,

but what killed the rest?

Whatever killed the rest is beyond that door.

It reeks of sorcery.

As much as it saddens me my lovable giant,

I'm gonna let you have the rest of this adventure alone.

I could protect Karella.

Wait here.

Ah.

Argh.

Argh.

You killed my mate.

Lower your sword, there will be plenty of time to kill me.

I do not trust sorcery.

There are many kinds of sorcery,

some of it good and some of it evil.

Which are you?

That would depend on whom you ask.

I would call that creature in the next room evil.

Once she was not.

The wizard Yara learned at my knee but he wasn't happy.

He wanted it all.

He wanted to rule over man and beast.

When I refused, he turned my beautiful wife

into that monster you saw.

And me into this creature that sits before you.

I'm sorry about your wife,

but it is my woman I will rescue with this stone.

In death my wife is at last free.

What you did was not bad.

She died of love, your love for another.

I do not understand why Yara doesn't walk in

and take the stone?

His powers are strong but not complete.

He needs the stone for that.

He will be helpless in my tower.

For 200 years he's sent countless thieves.

Spidra killed all those who got through my garden.

If I kill Yara, can you free my woman?

No, you must give Yara the stone.

Then I will be responsible for giving him total power.

Trust me.

- Why? - One who killed Spidra

would be the one who would kill me

and thus deliver the stone.

You must give him the stone.

I cannot kill you, you are not my enemy.

Cut out my heart and take the blood

and squeeze it over the stone.

You would be setting me free from this terrible body

and joining me with my love

in a world that is far better than this place.

I understand well wanting to be with your love.

When you give Yara the stone

tell him that, "Yag-kosha gives you one last gift.

"And one last enchantment."

Those words exactly.

Where is the girl from the village?

Why?

Listen, wizard, whatever my army leaves undestroyed

Hissah Zul will finish.

Where is she?

I need her right now, you can have her later.

Take her out of her trance.

She isn't under a spell.

Surely no woman would stay with you

who weren't under a spell.

She's in the village square.

You missed the sunrise,

it was beautiful from up here.

Did you get the stone?

I'm beginning to have faith in your Crom.

There's hope for you, Otli.

Come on.

- Please, please. - Let us through.

Where is Conan?

Where is he?

He's behind you, hunting for you,

always in your nightmares.

Do not test me.

If you kill me,

you'll be signing your own death warrant.

So be it.

I am looking for Conan the barbarian.

Who else refuses to speak?

Speak!

Did you get the jewel?

Yes.

Where's Tamira?

Let me see it and I will tell you where she is.

Goroth took her.

She's in the village square waiting for you.

I will kill you!

Not while I possess this stone.

I was told to tell you,

Yag-kosha gives you one last gift,

and one last enchantment.

No!

You betrayed me!

Tamira!

Oh, I knew you would find me.

I would have bourne you fine sons, Conan,

strong sons, with eyes like the sky.

You still will.

Oh, I can see the next world.

Oh it is beautiful.

This is my fault, it happened because of me.

No, Conan.

Evil people will always want you and those around you dead.

You are free.

You will not and you must not ever submit,

you promise me that.

Promise me.

Fighting at your side gave me joy.

It took your life.

No, it was my life.

As short as it was,

I breathed a different air with you, free air.

It was delicious.

Conan.

I don't want to lose you.

You will never lose me.

Whenever you set someone free I will be there.

You remember,

I love you.

You will make a great king, my barbarian.

I have stopped the search for the barbarian, my lord.

You have what?

It was unsuccessful.

Unsuccessful?

Who told you to stop the search?

I killed his woman in the streets of Arenjun,

he will come to us.

Sometimes you surprise me, General Goroth.

And this time you make me very happy.

Deploy your troops.

I am your servant, my lord.

Is that the woman you sought?

I am sorry.

Did you follow me?

Along with some of the farmers from the village.

Did many survive the slaughter?

A few, but they have gathered others.

And you are with them?

No.

No, Conan, Zzeben and I have talked,

we are with you.

Show me where the others are.

If you are prepared to die as free men,

then you can also prepare to live as free men.

They have lost everything,

some of them blame it on you.

I have also lost everything.

Tamira is gone.

Blame me or not, will you follow me?

I will.

For revenge or freedom?

Both.

Then let's go to fight and win!

Tell me one thing,

why does Hissah Zul wish you dead?

I do not know.

I do.

One of the long dead told Hissah Zul

that you are the one destined to kill him.

Why did you wait to tell me this?

It would not have changed anything,

and until now we were too busy with Yara.

Hissah Zul's vision shows you

with the sword of Atlantis.

He fears that most.

Then he fears Crom,

and then he will also fear me.

Are there jewels in Hissah Zul's castle?

I have other reasons to be there.

Well I don't.

I guess there are many jewels,

but there's also revenge.

Stealing and revenge are noble concepts.

Do you have a plan?

Yes.

Glad to see you survived the tower.

Why?

Would you have felt bad if I hadn't?

You'll never know, will you?

General, look.

Where did Conan find so many men?

Alert the troops, we still have surprise on our side.

Yah!

I owe you!

We are even.

I'd rather you owe me.

Yah.

Conan!

Goroth!

I'm going to enjoy that sword, Conan.

Bring it to your wizard, slayer of women!

Is there any mercy in you?

For you?

None.

It's time for the wizard.

The battle went badly, master.

You could have said that with more regret.

I cannot regret since I have no future

and cannot change my past.

Well, what about the barbarian?

The chosen one.

He is running through the woods to the castle now.

And what about General Goroth?

Why did you not just say that he was dead?

Because you have been known

to vanquish the messenger, master.

You've been dead for a very long time,

you're a skull with no body.

Then there will be nothing for Conan to slay.

He will be arriving here soon.

Oh.

Then what can we use against him?

You are running out of soldiers, master.

I would suggest you call upon your own talents.

And you are suggesting that I make you

flee from the barbarians?

Since I lack the ability to run,

I suggest that you have us both disappear.

Meanwhile, I intend to do the best that I can by myself.

I should give you to him, to the barbarian.

But on the other hand, perhaps you're right.

You were not delayed long.

We will finish Hissah Zul together.

What?

It's going to be difficult to steal stones

from a castle that doesn't exist.

You have done something good,

you don't feel better?

No, just poorer.

Now I feel better.

I have wounded that need care.

I will ask Crom to spare them.

Till next time.

And no more empty promises!

Quite a woman.

- Yeah, for sure. - Yeah,

I don't know if one would sleep well at night.

She seems to enjoy killing.

No, no, no, that's what makes her special.

See, lying ones head down at night

not knowing if it will still be on your shoulders

when you wake up in the morning.

You all fought bravely,

now you can return to your village

and live a peaceful life.

Zzeben and I are not men of peace.

And you would get in too much trouble without my guidance.

I go after Hissah Zul, it is best if I go alone.

Then go alone, but we are on the same quest.

Shall we walk behind you or walk alongside you as friends?

I would never deny you this friendship.

Then perhaps it's time you mimicked Zzeben and be silent.

You have a big enough mouth for both of you.
