Enkidu! Enough!

359
00:42:11,113 --> 00:42:14,115
These people opened the portal
with a lunar scroll.

360
00:42:14,408 --> 00:42:15,783
They are not our foe.

361
00:42:15,867 --> 00:42:17,368
They are armed!

362
00:42:17,536 --> 00:42:20,329
One of them attacked me
unfairly from behind.

363
00:42:22,541 --> 00:42:24,291
I am sure they meant no harm.

365
00:42:27,212 --> 00:42:31,882
I am Tala, daughter of
Balthazar, warrior of Nubia.

366
00:42:34,052 --> 00:42:36,011
We have come for
the Book of Souls.

367
00:42:36,972 --> 00:42:38,180
Have you?

368
00:42:52,738 --> 00:42:54,697
And you've brought a brute?

369
00:42:56,324 --> 00:42:57,742
A barbarian?

370
00:43:03,665 --> 00:43:05,166
You're Akkadian.

371
00:43:08,503 --> 00:43:09,879
What is that thing?

372
00:43:10,005 --> 00:43:12,965
(GRUNTS) I'm not a thing!

373
00:43:13,049 --> 00:43:14,091
A golem.

374
00:43:14,176 --> 00:43:15,342
ENKIDU: Stupid human.

375
00:43:16,678 --> 00:43:20,806
Enkidu is formed from clay,
brought to life by magic.

376
00:43:21,308 --> 00:43:23,392
My father made him
to be my protector.

377
00:43:23,477 --> 00:43:25,561
I have the strength of 10 men.

378
00:43:31,067 --> 00:43:32,485
Maybe 20.

five pigs and some pomegranate wine.

00:43:47,125 --> 00:43:48,834

382
00:43:59,596 --> 00:44:02,306
(LAUGHING) Pretty human.

383
00:44:24,996 --> 00:44:27,248
So you've come for
the Book of Souls?

384
00:44:28,124 --> 00:44:29,166
TALA: Yes.

385
00:44:29,251 --> 00:44:30,835
My people are in peril.

386
00:44:31,503 --> 00:44:35,631
We need it to vanquish a warlord
who leads his army across Egypt.

387
00:44:36,174 --> 00:44:37,550
He carries a cursed sword.

388
00:44:37,843 --> 00:44:40,177
None can stand against it.

389
00:44:41,763 --> 00:44:44,598
I have nothing on how
to defeat a cursed sword.

390
00:44:44,683 --> 00:44:47,184
But the legend says
the book is here.

391
00:44:48,186 --> 00:44:51,814
You must help us.
We are running out of time.

392
00:44:52,524 --> 00:44:53,858
I'm sorry.

393
00:44:54,401 --> 00:44:56,151
There is nothing here for you.

394
00:44:57,988 --> 00:44:59,989
The book is here?

395
00:45:01,575 --> 00:45:03,701
I have many scrolls, Akkadian.

396
00:45:04,661 --> 00:45:08,080
Some codices, some tomes.

397
00:45:08,707 --> 00:45:12,167
I have read them all,
committed them to memory,

398
00:45:13,795 --> 00:45:16,005
but I have not a single book.

399
00:45:19,301 --> 00:45:23,220
Tala, what does your scroll
say about this Book of Souls?

400
00:45:26,725 --> 00:45:32,187
The scroll says, "The Book of Souls
is written on vellum of alabaster.

401
00:45:32,439 --> 00:45:37,192
"The body of its forbidden text is
uncovered in the blue light of the moon. "

402
00:45:55,045 --> 00:45:58,422
"Vellum, of alabaster.

403
00:46:01,301 --> 00:46:03,260
"The body
of its forbidden text

404

"is uncovered only in the
blue light of the moon. "

405
00:46:09,351 --> 00:46:10,392
Enkidu!

406
00:46:11,353 --> 00:46:12,436
No!

407
00:46:18,568 --> 00:46:20,110
It's...

408
00:46:20,987 --> 00:46:22,112
You.

409
00:46:54,229 --> 00:46:56,188
You are the Book of Souls.

410
00:47:03,363 --> 00:47:06,156
The moonlight
reveals the text?

411
00:47:07,784 --> 00:47:08,951
Yes.

412
00:47:11,496 --> 00:47:15,708
It is revealed on the third
moon in a season of four moons.

413
00:47:16,334 --> 00:47:18,877
Seven times in the 19-year
Metonic cycle.

414
00:47:19,921 --> 00:47:21,588
What's written here?

415
00:47:22,799 --> 00:47:28,595
Names of souls taken by a sword
forged in the Underworld by Anubis.

416
00:47:29,514 --> 00:47:31,473
Do you know who they are?

417
00:47:32,225 --> 00:47:33,308
Yes.

418
00:47:33,935 --> 00:47:36,729
With every soul
the sword takes,

419
00:47:37,147 --> 00:47:39,148
I can hear their screams,

420
00:47:40,150 --> 00:47:41,525
see their faces.

421
00:47:46,781 --> 00:47:49,116
Some fates
are worse than death.

(HORSES GALLOPING)

423
00:48:45,632 --> 00:48:48,717
I have no quarrel with you,
Chieftain Uruk.

424
00:48:49,094 --> 00:48:50,552
I seek the Book of Souls

425
00:48:50,637 --> 00:48:52,679
in the Valley of
the 13th Moon.

426
00:48:53,056 --> 00:48:57,434
Your jackal bellies
are never full, are they?

427
00:48:57,519 --> 00:49:03,148
Whatever the Akkadian paid for
passage, King Nebserek will triple it.

428
00:49:04,317 --> 00:49:07,736
He paid with courage
and respect.

429
00:49:07,904 --> 00:49:11,073
Give us passage
and you will be spared.

430
00:49:11,157 --> 00:49:14,243
Stand your ground
and I will crush you.

431
00:49:20,125 --> 00:49:23,210
We are People of the Sand.

432
00:49:24,712 --> 00:49:26,755
Sand cannot be crushed.

433
00:49:27,340 --> 00:49:30,008
It can only change its form.

435
00:49:46,276 --> 00:49:47,943
You're going to pay for that.

436
00:49:48,444 --> 00:49:50,737
That was my favorite table.

437
00:49:50,989 --> 00:49:52,739
(GRUNTS)
That was my only table.

438
00:49:53,116 --> 00:49:54,533
You shouldn't have
broke it, then.

439
00:49:55,160 --> 00:49:56,410
Puny human.

440
00:49:56,494 --> 00:49:58,871
My father was
a great Sumerian mage.

441
00:49:59,289 --> 00:50:01,748
He brought me here
before I could even walk.

442
00:50:02,417 --> 00:50:04,585
He told me very little
about my curse.

443
00:50:04,669 --> 00:50:07,337
You have no idea
how to defeat this curse?

444
00:50:07,797 --> 00:50:12,176
The sword was found in King Memtep's
tomb beneath a city called Amonesh.

445
00:50:12,677 --> 00:50:14,928
Your quest must
take you there.

446
00:50:15,763 --> 00:50:19,141
The secret lies within
King Memtep's tomb.

447
00:50:22,312 --> 00:50:24,021
All right, then.

448
00:50:25,148 --> 00:50:28,358
We will go to Amonesh,
and break this curse.

449

There's a trade route that
leads to the city of Aqaba.

453
00:50:49,756 --> 00:50:50,881
There is a port here.

454
00:50:51,174 --> 00:50:54,384
You can hire a boat to cross
the sea to Amonesh.

455

(GRUMBLES) Amina likes him.

457
00:50:59,015 --> 00:51:00,390
Must be hard to bear.

458
00:51:01,768 --> 00:51:03,936
I have escaped the pain
of the living.

459
00:51:05,647 --> 00:51:06,730
And the joys?

460
00:51:07,690 --> 00:51:08,732
Yes.

461
00:51:10,151 --> 00:51:12,069
It is more a burden
than a blessing.

to see your world through my own eyes.

that's not possible.

And if I can make it possible?

ENKIDU: He's got muscles,
but I fight muscles.

I think I found
a shorter route...

Fire's gone?
Yes.

00:51:51,067 --> 00:51:54,069
I forgot to tell them.
And I'm still here?

476
00:51:54,195 --> 00:51:55,862
Calm yourself, Enkidu.

477
00:52:00,535 --> 00:52:01,785
I hate fire.

of flames. I hate it.

They are too far ahead of us.
We need to split up.

There's only two ways
out of that valley,

485
00:52:35,361 --> 00:52:37,362
and we'll shut them both off.

the dunes meet the sea.

We have been riding all night. The
men, the horses, they need rest.

488
00:52:44,037 --> 00:52:47,414
You will ride until the horses
hearts stop beating in their chests,

489
00:52:47,540 --> 00:52:49,750
and then you will go on foot,

01:20:37,291 --> 01:20:39,251
let us see how he fights.

712
01:20:42,547 --> 01:20:44,464
Alert me when he wakes
from his slumber.

713
01:20:44,549 --> 01:20:46,216
Are you sure this is wise?

714
01:20:46,467 --> 01:20:48,510
Kill him now
and be done with it.

715
01:20:51,514 --> 01:20:53,807
He's already half-dead,
priestess.

716
01:20:54,183 --> 01:20:58,103
Half-dead men are dangerous,
especially a man like this.

717
01:20:58,229 --> 01:21:02,941
The jackals want to see this
great warrior killed in battle.

718
01:21:04,152 --> 01:21:06,528
We must satiate
their bloodlust.

719
01:21:09,741 --> 01:21:13,035
He is weak and wounded

720
01:21:15,455 --> 01:21:17,330
and no match for the sword!

721
01:21:28,551 --> 01:21:29,968
No!

722
01:21:36,142 --> 01:21:37,225
Princess Tala.

723
01:21:44,233 --> 01:21:45,442
I am your queen now.

724
01:21:49,197 --> 01:21:51,907
If called,
are the men ready to fight?

725
01:21:52,033 --> 01:21:53,784
The men will fight, my queen.

726
01:22:00,083 --> 01:22:01,374
What is this?

727
01:22:01,542 --> 01:22:03,460
The Book of Souls.

728
01:22:05,463 --> 01:22:07,339
Written on ancient vellum,

729
01:22:08,758 --> 01:22:12,219
illuminated in the blue light
of the evening sun.

730
01:22:13,638 --> 01:22:15,055
Such beauty.

731
01:22:16,724 --> 01:22:19,476
So, you thought to defeat me

732
01:22:19,977 --> 01:22:23,855
by destroying the sword,
and with it my power?

733
01:22:34,492 --> 01:22:36,743
I see you're a book
with a will of your own.

734
01:22:38,162 --> 01:22:41,915
Such contempt in your eyes.

735
01:22:45,086 --> 01:22:46,378
Burn the bitch.

736
01:23:23,207 --> 01:23:25,000
TALA: Rise, blacksmith.

737
01:23:26,085 --> 01:23:28,003
Become the Scorpion
King again.

738
01:23:29,338 --> 01:23:31,173
MENNOFER:
We honor the covenant

739
01:23:31,841 --> 01:23:34,926
between the God
of the Underworld, Anubis,

740
01:23:35,219 --> 01:23:37,387
and the bearer of his sword,

741
01:23:37,471 --> 01:23:39,389
our god-king Nebserek.

742
01:23:39,473 --> 01:23:43,852
Nebserek! Nebserek! Nebserek!

743
01:23:43,936 --> 01:23:46,771
MENNOFER:
Here on this sacred ground,

744
01:23:46,856 --> 01:23:50,317
we gather
at the sacrificial fires

745
01:23:50,401 --> 01:23:51,818
to put forth...

746
01:23:52,278 --> 01:23:55,155
TALA: Remember
who you are, Scorpion King,

747
01:23:55,323 --> 01:23:58,200
demigod, the last Akkadian.

748
01:24:36,447 --> 01:24:39,574
(ROCK CRUMBLING)

749
01:24:46,540 --> 01:24:48,124
MENNOFER:... written
in the prophesies,

750
01:24:48,209 --> 01:24:51,294
The Book of Souls shall burn
and be thus destroyed.

751
01:24:51,837 --> 01:24:53,713
Let no man stand against us!

752
01:24:53,798 --> 01:24:55,382
I am one man!

753
01:24:59,512 --> 01:25:01,263
But one can stand
against many,

754
01:25:04,725 --> 01:25:06,059
for a friend.

755
01:25:10,231 --> 01:25:11,815
(GRUNTING)

756
01:25:15,653 --> 01:25:17,612
Calm your blades, jackals.

757
01:25:20,366 --> 01:25:21,741
He's mine!

758
01:25:30,668 --> 01:25:33,211
How was your sleep,
Scorpion King?

759
01:25:34,505 --> 01:25:36,256
I'm just a blacksmith.

760
01:25:37,300 --> 01:25:39,884
I admire a man
who stands tall,

761
01:25:40,303 --> 01:25:42,220
even when he's overmatched.

762
01:25:44,056 --> 01:25:46,141
The time for chanting
has not yet come.

763
01:25:46,225 --> 01:25:48,393
Enkidu, it's time.

764
01:25:48,519 --> 01:25:50,645
NEBSEREK: The people want...
I did not protect Amina.

765
01:25:50,730 --> 01:25:52,188
I failed her.

766
01:25:53,232 --> 01:25:54,858
We have not failed.

767
01:25:55,568 --> 01:25:57,777
Not yet. NEBSEREK:
He threatens my reign.

768
01:26:00,740 --> 01:26:03,742
You stand on the ruins
of my people,

769
01:26:04,618 --> 01:26:08,246
broken many years ago
by your Akkadian empire.

770
01:26:08,831 --> 01:26:11,875
We were forced
to live like jackals,

771
01:26:12,209 --> 01:26:13,877
eating scraps to survive.

772
01:26:14,587 --> 01:26:16,588
But one jackal

773
01:26:17,173 --> 01:26:19,424
was not prepared
to slink away,

774
01:26:19,633 --> 01:26:23,303
and grow old,
starving and defeated!

775
01:26:34,732 --> 01:26:36,316
I dug deep,

776
01:26:37,026 --> 01:26:40,362
deep into the sand
and found the one thing

777
01:26:40,863 --> 01:26:42,572
that can rebuild an empire

778
01:26:43,574 --> 01:26:46,284
ruled by an eater of souls.

779
01:26:46,494 --> 01:26:50,121
With this sword,
I am invincible!

780
01:26:50,331 --> 01:26:53,708
ALL: (CHANTING)
Nebserek! Nebserek! Nebserek!

781
01:26:53,959 --> 01:26:55,585
You fear no man.

782
01:26:56,462 --> 01:26:58,213
I fear no man.

783
01:26:58,297 --> 01:26:59,881
I have faith in you, Enkidu.

784
01:27:00,758 --> 01:27:02,675
Show me who you are.

785
01:27:03,803 --> 01:27:05,678
This is your time.

786
01:27:05,930 --> 01:27:08,014
This is your moment!

787
01:27:08,391 --> 01:27:10,850
Amina needs you!
(GRUNTS)

788
01:27:12,103 --> 01:27:15,563
On my command, unleash hell.

789
01:27:19,151 --> 01:27:21,778
Nebserek! Nebserek! Nebserek!

790
01:27:36,168 --> 01:27:37,293
No!

791
01:27:51,892 --> 01:27:53,768
You must believe!

792
01:27:53,853 --> 01:27:57,355
I cannot burn!

793
01:27:57,898 --> 01:27:59,732
You cannot burn!

794
01:27:59,817 --> 01:28:01,818
Break it down!

795
01:28:03,404 --> 01:28:04,904
<i>ENKIDU: Amina! I'm coming!</i>

796
01:28:46,030 --> 01:28:47,822
(SCREAMING)

797
01:29:19,355 --> 01:29:21,523
Give me your soul, Akkadian!

798
01:29:23,025 --> 01:29:24,108
Never.

799
01:29:41,377 --> 01:29:42,669
AMINA: Enkidu!

800
01:29:45,631 --> 01:29:47,549
I cannot fail.

801
01:29:48,217 --> 01:29:51,219
Must destroy sword!

802
01:29:56,141 --> 01:29:58,893
I cannot...
No!

803
01:29:58,978 --> 01:30:01,312
Fail!

804
01:30:07,570 --> 01:30:08,695
Amina!

805
01:30:27,715 --> 01:30:29,382
(SCREAMS)

806
01:31:11,091 --> 01:31:16,012
If I can't have your soul, Akkadian,
then I will send you to the afterlife.

807
01:31:16,096 --> 01:31:18,640
No, I create my destiny,

808
01:31:18,724 --> 01:31:21,309
and I will not die
by your hand.

809
01:31:21,393 --> 01:31:23,561
But you will!

810
01:31:40,204 --> 01:31:41,704
No!

811
01:33:30,439 --> 01:33:33,191
Break this curse,
Scorpion King.

812
01:33:49,291 --> 01:33:50,541
I won't hurt you.

813
01:33:51,251 --> 01:33:53,211
The evil will not rest.

814
01:33:54,880 --> 01:33:58,466
It will come for the sword
again and again.

815
01:34:03,931 --> 01:34:07,225
I am the sacrifice
that must be made,

816
01:34:07,684 --> 01:34:10,520
to destroy the sword
and free the souls.

817
01:34:16,401 --> 01:34:17,902
I'm not afraid.

818
01:34:22,199 --> 01:34:23,407
Is there no other way?

819
01:34:46,640 --> 01:34:49,016
Thank you for showing me
your world.

820
01:36:18,106 --> 01:36:19,774
Goodbye, Amina.

821
01:36:27,866 --> 01:36:30,743
<i>NARRATOR: History will tell
of this fearless warrior</i>

822
01:36:30,827 --> 01:36:33,537
<i>who never forgot
his destiny again.</i>

823
01:36:34,331 --> 01:36:36,624
