Warrior King (2023) Movie Script

1
- Once upon a time,
ancestors of the Tibetans
lived in a magnificent kingdom.
Surrounded by snowcap mountains,
a kingdom with lush meadows
and large herds of
cattle and sheep.
Then one day, ferocious
monsters came pouring in.
Overnight, warfare and chaos
spread to every corner.
This once peaceful land became
occupied by four evil powers.
There was the Dark Lord Lutsen
of the kingdom of
demons in the West.
The mighty King Sadan
of Xiong in the East.
The fire mage, King
Sing-Kier of Hmong
that controlled the South.
And the formidable trio of
horror, the Lords of Black,
Yellow, and White that
dominated the North.
- Ling is...
doomed!
- These merciless monsters!
- Why did we hide
instead of fight?
- That's right, instead
of hiding underground,
we should fight
them to the death.
- Huh? Fight to the death?
You?
Or you?
Ha!
If it weren't for my
idea to build the bunker,
there would be no one left
to fight to begin with.
- Since when was building
the bunker your idea?
- Yeah. Chief Seng Long was
the one who proposed it.
- Chief Seng Long?
Chief Seng Long? Ha!
It's always the great Seng
Long who gets all the credit.
- The six tribes of
Ling are a family.
The most important thing now
is that our people survived.
Am I right?
Trotung?
That's Chief Seng Long
summoning us. Let's go.
- Let's go.
- All right, let's move.
- Come on.
- My brothers of Ling.
The war is on hold,
but danger still looms.
For everyone's sake,
we must stick together
and keep our laws.
- Move it!
- No one is allowed
to leave here
without permission.
- The chief is
right. We must keep the law.
- Papa. Papa!
- What's wrong my son?
- Mom saw Goja Lamo,
leave the village.
- What? Why didn't
someone stop her?
- The Trinity
Mercy. Good will.
Salvation. Triple gem.
Bless me with eternal
protection for I have come
to ask the gods' blessing
for a smooth childbirth.
It moved.
My baby is safe now.
Thank you, Holy Ones
for your blessing!
Thank you.
- Such a
brave mother you are!
- One who will never
give birth.
- What's that? Look!
- Huh?
- Seng Long.
- I'm here now.
- that
prey is mine now.
- No, mine.
- Mine!
- Mine!
- Seng Long!
I'm so sorry. This
is all my fault!
- Seng Long!
- Seng Long!
- Seng Long!
- Seng Long! Seng Long!
Seng Long!
- Now we've lost
our beloved chief.
All because you
foolishly broke the law.
You are to blame for this!
- That's not true. The
two ogres killed papa.
- Huh. We're lucky
there were only two.
Any more and you'd all be dead.
This woman is carrying
a bane in her belly.
And she must be banished.
- Trotung is right.
As one of the Dragon Clan,
and one of chief Seng
Long's three wives
does not put her above the law.
She must be punished
accordingly.
- If we banish her, then we
dishonor the chief's sacrifice.
- Elder priest, You are
now the leader. You decide.
- Elder priest. She
violated the law.
If we let her off the
hook so easily, then
what is the point
of having rules?
- Mm.
- Elder priest, don't bother.
Seng Long was my love. And I
will never give up my child.
I shall leave today.
- My baby. We will survive.
No matter how deep it is.
My baby. It's okay.
Mommy will protect
you no matter what.
I will. I will!
- This blizzard has
cleansed the filth
that covered the earth
as well as my heart.
- In such weather,
will Goja Lamo?
- When I was praying,
the holy God told me
that Goja Lamo
shall be forgiven.
And Ling's savior, as
foretold and passed down
by the oracle, has
something to do with her.
- Then why don't we
bring her back right now?
- Take the fastest
horses, pack the best food
and the warmest coats.
- Hmm. Mom, let's go.
- Yes.
- Holy God.
Forgive my error and place the
punishment for
everything onto me.
And may they find her
and bring her home.
- Great holy God, above. Please
let my blessed child
be born safely.
- Is this your home?
I'll leave now.
I'm sorry, but my baby's coming.
- Thank you little friends.
- Go. Go!
- Yah!
- Look! That golden light!
- That must be them. Let's go!
- Hiyah!
- Hiyah!
- Cheers! Come on.
- Let me hold him.
He's the divine child.
Born with golden
light from the sky!
- So cute!
- Divine child.
- So this is the divine child!
Hey little brother!
- Move it.
- Wait, uncle.
- Divine child? Hmm.
Doesn't look so divine.
- Ugh!
- Oh no.
- He's a squirming
freak. No!
- Aw. He's a divine
gift sent from heaven!
- Praise
to the holy God!
- What shall we name him
with such amazing gifts?
- Chori. Chori!
- Don't come out.
- Cho,
- Sh.
- How much
longer must we wait?
- Be quiet. You'll
scare the monster away.
- I'm kind of scared.
- Our livestock
is being eaten up.
This monster probably ate them.
Kill him, and we'll be heroes.
- I'm still scared.
- Heroes don't get
scared. Besides,
not like you're the bait.
- Norsang? Norsang!
- Look, it's Brugmo!
- She's pretty.
- She's so pretty!
- I'm gonna marry her someday.
- Ugh. What a dirty place!
- Hide!
- Why'd you hit me?
- Sh. Be quiet.
- Show yourself.
- Hoo-ahh!
- Chori! I know it's
you under that mask.
- You have
good eyes Brugmo.
- You're annoying. How
dare you steal Norsang!
Hey! Stay where you are!
Norsang! Norsang!
Ling heroes this way! Fight!
- Come and get me!
- I'm a hero now!
- Whoa! Impressive.
You're a lot better
than I thought!
- Come and get me!
Whoa!
- Hiyah!
- Chori!
Chori that was awesome!
You are the man!
- I'm a hero now!
- Yes, you are!
- Whoa! Big hero. Are you okay?
- Chori!
- Chori. Chori!
- Water monster. Water monster!
- Wake up! Wake up!
- You're okay.
- Mama. I killed the monster.
I'm a hero.
- But you nearly got killed.
- Mama.
I killed the water monster and
protected the clan.
Aren't you proud?
- You're Seng Long's, son.
So you're born to be a hero.
I know that better than anyone.
But now, I need you
to grow up safely.
- But I'm a hero like
dad. My arm is fine.
Mama. You all right?
- Anyway, stay
out of trouble from now on.
- How is protecting
people seeking trouble?
I just wanna be a
hero. Is that wrong?
Papa, I wish you were
here to help me be strong.
- Gesar.
Remember the more
good deeds you do.
- Huh?
- The stronger you will be.
- What was that?
Huh?
Huh? They can shape shift.
- Huh?
- I'm a real hero now!
- Elder priest. Elder priest.
- Yes?
- We caught the yak thief.
It's Chori.
- Huh?
- Chori.
Why? Tell us. Why?
- Chori, did you really do this?
- No. No. It's not
what you think.
- Chori. Don't
deny it. I saw you
kill the yak with my own eyes.
- No way. That
thing was a monster.
- A monster? You're an audacious
lying little brat Chori.
You wanna have all the yak
meat to yourself, don't you?
- Yeah. Have
you lost your mind?
- The yaks are essential
to our way of life.
It's serious.
- Divine child? He's
nothing but a curse.
Now it's proven. Even the
herd of yaks spring forth
accusation against the
bane, Chori Yak-slayer.
- Killer!
Killer.
- No! It wasn't
me! I saved them.
- Stop your lying.
You were the killer.
- Killer! Demon! Thief!
- Why won't anyone believe me?
I was protecting you!
- He's only a child.
- Mama.
- What do you all want?
- Mama?
I only killed a bad monster.
- I believe you.
- Monster?
He may fool you, but
not everyone else.
Brugmo was right
here and saw with
her own eyes that he hadn't even
pulled his weapon out
of the yak's head.
- Yes. I saw myself. Humph!
- I'm so sorry.
Whatever it is, I shall
take responsibility.
- Killing yaks is too serious
a crime. Even for you.
- Trotung, you're Chori's uncle.
What exactly do
you want from us?
- He must be banished.
- Listen to the girl.
The law says that
whoever kills a yak
shall be banished.
- So be it. Why stay here
if no one believes me?
If I saw that thing
again I'd kill it.
- You hear that?
- Elder priest. See that?
This brat is a
hopeless lost cause.
- Elder priest allow my son
and I to leave the tribe.
- Leave the tribe? How
will you ever survive?
- We will make it.
He's Seng Long's son, after all.
- Mama, you believe me, right?
- I ask permission
for us to leave.
- Mama. They aren't
throwing white ash,
but barley powder for blessing.
- Chori!
- Brother!
- Chori!
- Giatza!
- Fire!
- Stop it!
- Let's go.
Don't hate those who harm you.
And don't hurt those you love.
- Hmm. Maybe leaving
is your fate after all.
Go forth. Fulfill your destiny.
- Chori,
come here.
- Mama. Are you all right?
- Here. A hero needs
to eat and drink.
- Why be a hero, if
no one believes you?
- Chori,
all heroes have trials.
- But I don't want
these stupid trials.
Or to be a hero anymore.
Mama.
- My child. You have a
great life ahead of you.
You shall overcome these trials.
It's your destiny.
Come. Let me show you something.
Once you're there,
you'll understand.
- This is where the
holy God gave you life.
It's been years and it
still looks the same.
Hello,
my little friends.
Do you remember us?
- Come here buddy.
He likes me.
Goodbye.
- Goodbye.
- . Mama. Mama!
Huh?
- Mama.
- Whoa. Mom! Watch out!
Hiyah! Yah!
When did I become so strong?
- Are you all right?
Keep working!
- I'm exhausted.
- Then go to hell!
Who the hell are you?
- And who are you?
- I'm a great demon warrior.
- So you think you can bully
anyone you want, do ya?
- You bet!
- What did you?
- You're welcome. A
demon is no match.
- You'll get us all killed.
- Huh?
- When the demons find
out, they'll seek revenge.
- Thanks to you.
We're in trouble.
- Chori. What happened?
- He kicked a demon
soldier into the river.
- Chori, is that true?
- Three demon soldiers
across the river enslaved us
wanting to find a
Buddha Palm Ginseng.
- Wait, what? Three of them,
enslaved hundreds of you?
- How can we fight demons
when we're just weak humans?
- What if you fight together?
- Together? We won't
team up with them.
They stole a lot
of our livestock.
- You cowards would
surrender anyway.
- Like we'd team up with you.
- Mama?
- They're coming.
- It's Xian.
- Run!
- Chori, come on.
- Come with me.
- Leave before
it's too late. No.
- Hmm.
- Who are you? Where's my guard?
- Drowning in the river.
- Huh?
- Chori!
- This guy's strong.
- Not bad. How about this?
You work for me. Deal?
- I'd rather die
than be your minion.
- No need to waste my time then.
- Chori!
- Stay here. Stay here!
- So
have you changed your mind?
- Insolent little brat!
- Chori!
- Gesar
- Why does he keep
calling me Gesar?
Can you just tell me,
Am I dead?
- Of course not.
You have a destiny to fulfill.
- What is my destiny again?
To save the world.
How could you forget that?
- How can I save the world
if I can't be one Demon?
- You can do a lot
more than that. Go now.
Release your power.
Haa!
- What?
- How can this be?
You?
- Hee-yah!
- Chori!
Chori! Are you okay?
- Unbelievable!
- Wake up. Wake up.
- This young boy has
defeated the Demon Xiang!
We don't have to
be slaves anymore.
- Mama. What did I do?
- You won. You
defeated the Demon soldier.
- Mama!
- Gesar.
- We would serve our guests with
something better
than grassroots soup.
But with the shrews,
we have no choice.
- Grassroots? That won't do.
I'll get meat.
- It smells so good.
- Yum!
- It smells so good.
- It's been so long
since we had meat.
- It's been forever.
- Mom. I wanna have some!
- It's not for us.
- Mama. Is this what
meat smells like?
- Don't! Be good.
All right. I'm sorry.
- Here.
- Stop! It's for our guests!
Bad boy!
- Please forgive
him. It's just that
we haven't had meat for so long.
- Why don't you
catch some Shrews?
- Well, you see, we can't. The
shrews are too fast for us.
How did you catch them?
- With this?
- What is that?
- It's a sling; a Ling weapon.
You can use it to throw a
stone at distant targets.
- How amazing!
Please stay with us.
And help us rebuild our home.
- Yes, please.
- I'm no savior.
But since you trust
me this much, I'll
stay here from now on.
- Oh, we're saved!
He's going to stay!
- Chori! Goja Lamo has fainted.
- Mama!
Mama.
- Holy God. I'm willing
to endure anything.
So please save my mother.
- The sacred ginseng.
The one those
demon soldiers were looking for.
I heard that they needed it to
resurrect Lutsen, their king.
- That's right. It
can cure any disease,
but it runs way too fast for us.
- For mama. I will
definitely catch it.
- We've seen it a lot. Out
behind the east mountain.
- The mountain?
- Huh?
- Oh. Ho, ho!
Chori?
- Huh?
- Born in the year of the Tiger.
Mother Goja Lamo of
the Dragon clan, hm?
- Yes.
- Golden lights shining
at your birth, hm?
- I guess.
- Meet your
guest and mentor.
- You're a weirdo.
- Hmm?
- I got it. I bet that
you're the ginseng.
- Me, a ginseng?
- It for weren't for destiny,
I would not teach you.
- What's this smoke?
- Smoke? Hmm.
I'm showing you how to fly.
- That's awesome.
Except the smoke
could be bad for
the environment.
- Oh.
- There. Ow.
How about now?
- Why do you want
me as your student?
- If it were up to
me, I wouldn't pick
a student like you.
- I'm not so sure.
What if it's a trap?
- Why you! How
dare you doubt me?
I am a great sage.
I must be decent.
Be proper. Calm down. Calm down.
Chori.
- Huh?
- Haven't you always
wanted to be a hero?
- How did you know?
- Mm hmm.
Now we're talking.
You are destined to save
the world. You know that?
And I Guru Padma am
destined to be your teacher.
I can make you a hero. Get it?
- I do wanna be a hero.
But right now I need
the ginseng. So
not now. Bye bye.
- Hmm. Goja Lamo fell ill
after being poisoned, right?
And you wanna find
a cure, don't you?
- You knew?
- Yes. The ginseng can
certainly save her life indeed.
- Hmm. It's just with
your current skillset, hmm
you'll never catch it. But
if you accept my training,
it will be very easy
for you to catch.
- For how long?
- That depends on
how smart you are.
- But mama,
- Hey. Just to let
you know, Goja Lamo's
getting weaker as we speak.
- Oh master, please!
Make me your student.
- Good. Good.
- Come with me!
- Oh wow! This is amazing!
- It's snowing early
again.
Go find Brugmo. Tell
her dinner is ready.
- Hey. This is the
splendid saffron blossom.
It has grown for a millennium.
Fate has brought it to me.
And fate has meant
it to be yours too.
- Enough theatrics. Show
us the saffron flower.
- This ancient
flower can only be
traded to those
with a hundred yaks
or great riches. Are you rich?
- Hmm. Well, no.
- Not really.
- Then you don't get to see it.
- I'm rich.
- Oh. Finally, a
worthy customer.
Who looks fabulous, by the way.
Oh, please.
Please. Come on in.
Ah.
A magic treasure.
I will take it.
- It's yours.
- Come on, get up. Where
has all your strength gone?
Get up. This pretending to
be weak trick is really old.
Just get up.
- Brugmo! Brugmo!
Dinner's ready.
Go home for dinner!
- Norsang. Dinner's ready.
You were just pretending, lazy.
Hm.
- The Jhong
envoy? What are they
doing here? They must
be up to no good.
- Here comes lord Jade,
the envoy from Jhong.
Here arrives,
- I'm stuck, you moron!
- Oh.
- Welcome,
distinguished envoy!
- Bold slave. Do you
have the offering
for Jhong ready for us or not?
- Well lord Jade. This
year's snow is relentless.
We are barely
surviving. Would the
great Jhong please
have mercy on us?
- You
This place was a
mess after the war.
Did you forget why you
people were not wiped out?
- All because of Jhong, we
were protected and kept safe.
- That's correct.
- Thank you, my lord, for
letting us offer tributes.
- How can we survive, if
you take all of our food?
- You're all gonna die, if
you have nothing to offer.
- You!
- But, but, my Lord.
I'll take care of
the offering and I promise you
will be satisfied, my lord.
- What's your name?
- My lord, you can
call me Trotung.
- All right.
Now you'll be in charge
of the next offering.
Remember next time you will
give not just treasures,
but also your most
beautiful woman.
- Yes, master.
- Let's go.
- Let me see you off, master.
Safe trip, my lord.
Do visit us again.
I shall have the offering ready.
Hawk crying
- Thanks. Master.
- Oh. It seems you have
gained more in weight,
than you have in power.
- I am the divine
child reincarnated, but
what was I like in my past life?
- Oh once upon a time,
demons ruled the world
and humankind suffered.
The Buddha realized that
the demons could never be
eradicated with only
the help from heaven,
and that humanity had to be
united to fight the evil forces.
So Tupa Gharva, that's
you reincarnated
in human form, as
arranged by Buddha.
He chose the God of Mount
Gedro to be his father.
And the daughter of
the divine dragon
of Lake Manasarovar
to be his mother.
So he was born as the trinity
of three holy origins.
And as a descendant of
the three divine forces,
it is your destiny
to save the world.
Chori. You were born with
invincible divine powers.
I'm simply helping
you to discover and
harness these powers.
- So how will I save the world?
- Ah. You will know how
after going through trials,
and finally becoming a
worthy king. Come now.
A new round of training
awaits. Follow me!
- Snow
season in Ling
is getting longer
every year. All the
snow is making
things much harder.
- Hm. This is our punishment for
banishing Goja Lamo and Chori
- Giatza. Where is Chori?
- I heard they settled
down in the state of Ma.
- I wonder if they're okay.
- Everyone! Return
home! Return home!
- This is outrageous.
I say we go and fight.
- Nonsense. The Jhong
giants are powerful.
With our small size, we
stand no chance against them.
- Taking our women means
also taking our dignity.
- Dignity? Who cares about that
when everyone's
life is at stake?
- Enough, you two!
They're coming to take the
most beautiful woman in Ling.
We need to start thinking about
who the most beautiful woman is.
- Moi? The most beautiful woman?
- Mm hmm.
- How about now?
- Beautiful.
- And now?
- Beautiful.
- And now?
- Beautiful.
- And now?
- So beautiful.
- My beautiful
child. The safety of
the Ling clan now
relies solely on you.
Not only are you beautiful,
you're also wise,
brave, valiant,
compassionate, and uh,
let me think.
- Selfless.
- Right! Selfless too.
- Am I so perfect?
- Mm. Absolutely.
- So then, hmm.
What is it you want from me?
- To marry Sadan,
the king of Jhong
- Hah!
- Failed again?
- I've learned so much already,
but I still can't catch it.
- Hey, today the secret
to catching the ginseng,
I shall teach you.
- How great! Please do.
- It's really quite simple.
The Ginseng has
one special hobby,
and that is listening to music.
Once it's mesmerized by the
music, it will slow down.
Then you can easily snatch it.
- If it's this
simple, why didn't
you just tell me? Ugh, gods!
- Well, you wouldn't have
stayed to learn, would you?
- But mom has been suffering.
- Ooh do not worry. Her
time has not yet come.
Chori, my time as
your teacher has
now come to an
end. It's been fun.
- You are leaving?
- My purpose has
now been completed.
Oh, now, now there's
no need to cry.
Hm?
Before I go, I have
a present for you.
This sword shall help you
to get through every trial.
As you get strong so too shall
the sword become more powerful.
- Thank you.
- Hmm. The Ginseng is behind the
great 15 mountains
at Floral Valley.
Go find it now.
- Okay, I'm going.
- Just leaving like that?
Not even a hug?
- Master. Your purpose
is now complete.
There's no need
to cry.
- Well, nevermind then.
Oh, stay calm. Stay proper
Oh right.
The environment. Hm.
- You won't resist?
- Of course I will.
- Huh?
- Once next to the king, slice.
- Kill him? That's a bad idea.
- Don't worry. I've got this.
- Let's see.
A great hero of ling, are you?
Plotting to murder
our King, Sadan?
- How dare you bark me?
- Let go. Or else.
- Easy, my dear pet.
That little knife of
yours can only cut meat
- Stay back!
- Or you'll do what?
You gonna kill me
with that knife?
- Ah! My ear!
My ear!
- Go and
bring them back!
- Norsang!
- Run! Run! The
giants are coming.
They're coming!
- Norsang!
- Norsang! Norsang!
- Get her!
- What's that?
- Whatever it is,
kill the woman first.
- Ahem.
- Huh?
- You're not bullying
her, are you?
- Where did this low
life come from? Get lost.
- Hey, Short-legs.
That's pretty rude.
- I hate it when people call
me Short-legs. Kill him!
- Where are you from?
- From Ling.
Watch out!
- Have mercy!
You're a great supreme one.
I'm just a worthless slave.
I'm begging you.
Please spare my life.
- Just be a good person.
- I will. I will.
I promise I will.
- Sounds good to
me. Take care now.
Where'd you say
you're from again?
- I,
- Huh? Hey!
- She's alive! She's awake.
Her ladyship is awake!
Her ladyship is awake!
- Oh thank goodness
you're alive. Oh!
- Huh. Why did the
giants come after you?
- They're the giants of
Jhong. I was the tribute.
The Ling clan sent me
to marry the giant king.
- The Ling?
You are,
- Brugmo.
- Brugmo?
- You're annoying. How
dare you steal Norsang?
Hey! He must be banished!
- So it's her.
- Why are you staring?
Do you know me?
- How could I know a
troublesome woman like you?
- Why are you suddenly
yelling at me?
- I, I, um.
- You kind of look familiar.
- Huh?
- Hmm? Like someone I
knew. Chori!
- Chori. Oh, who's that?
- What's your name then?
- Me. I'm Gesar.
- What?
- Gesar!
- Are you a bad guy?
- That's right.
- Are you really bad?
- Ugh. You're
annoying. And stupid.
I just saved you.
- Don't call me stupid.
- Oh.
- I've lost my family and
my friends. And
then Norsang too.
I've just escaped death and
now here you are insulting me.
I wish I would've been
killed by those giants.
- Don't be sad, your Ladyship.
I'll be here with you, always.
- I'm sorry. Just go
home tomorrow morning.
- I can't go back now.
- I know that
feeling. I'm the same.
- You saved me. How
can I ever repay you?
- It's fine. Goodbye.
- Don't just leave like that.
I won't last out here on my own.
As a thank you, allow
me to sing for you.
- Mm hmm.
- The ginseng.
- Oh no.
Hey, keep singing. Hurry.
- What is that thing?
- The cure for my mom.
- What sickness does she have?
- You're asking
too many questions.
- Why are you yelling?
- It must have gone
to the Flora Valley.
- That hurts.
- Hang in there.
- He's like Chori.
- Hey. Stay hidden.
- Hmm. So this Ginseng can
cure Goju Lamo's illness?
- Yes. Mom is, huh?
- Chori, I knew it was you.
Why didn't you admit it?
- Uh, stay down. Okay. It's me.
- Is your mom really sick?
- Yes she is. And
only that Buddha
Palm Ginseng can
heal her illness.
- That thing?
- It's there.
That's it.
- Looks like it wants
to hear more singing.
- So what do we do?
- Isn't it cruel to kill
this divine creature?
It's lived a thousand years.
- But without it, my mom
won't be able to recover.
- Either your mom
who is sick, or the
life of a thousand
year old being.
It's a tough choice.
It's up to you Chori.
- Mama. I'm sorry.
- My son. You did
the right thing.
- But, what about you?
- All lives are equal.
No one's life should be saved
by sacrificing another's.
Otherwise, we are no
different than the demons.
Besides you brought back Brugmo.
- Goja Lamo, you
don't resent me?
- The God's chose our fate.
You're not at fault.
And we had a good life
here for many years.
But you Brugmo, what are
you planning to do now?
- Oh no!
- What is it?
- I let that guy go. When Jhong
finds out, they will
not go easy on us.
- Ling will not be
able to survive.
- What do we do?
- Ling must migrate.
- Migrate?
- Yeah, migrate here.
Mama. What do you think?
- Ling will need our help.
And you must go and save them.
- The question is,
how do we warn them?
- Tengara?
- Yes.
- Tell everyone.
Yes, your leadership.
- Please be okay, Ling.
- Chori.
- What is it?
Hm?
- Thank you.
- Huh? Huh?
- Great Sadan, my
king.
Your majesty. Not only did they
refused to offer the tribute,
but they killed our soldiers.
They even got off my ear.
- Go, make them pay
from what they've done.
Take this divine artifact.
It can enhance you with powers.
Take the two-headed beast
and the Jhong army with you.
- Attention! Attention!
Listen to me. Listen.
Attention. Attention!
Attention, attention.
- Jhong will most
definitely send an army.
We don't stand a chance.
We should move to Chori's place.
- But we banished
Chori and his mother.
How can we shamelessly
accept their help now?
- Shame means absolutely
nothing if you end up dead.
- We could have been friends
with Jhong, you know.
It was Brugmo who
got us into this. So,
- Stop arguing, everyone!
Go prepare for the trip.
Farewell. Ling, our homeland.
- Mama, are you all right?
- People die.
I'm from the Dragon clan.
I would consider myself lucky
if I could return
home before I die.
- Back to your homeland.
- Yes.
- Fine then I'll take you there.
Maybe we can find another
cure for your illness.
- I'll come.
- You will?
- That's right. Wherever
you go, I'll go.
- So Chori built this city
state? It's incredible.
- Ha. Chori.
- Finally I'll see my brother.
- Sir, there's no one here.
- Go and find them!
- Distinguished guests from
the six tribes of Ling.
You're most welcomed
here in the state of Ma.
Chori has already
arranged for your
stay in the finest locations.
I believe you'll
have a great time
staying here alongside
us, the people of Ma.
- Thank you.
Where are Goja Lamo and Chori?
- She and Chori went
to the Dragon clan
in order to find a cure for her.
- Holy God, be with
them and bless them.
- This way. Please.
- The Jhong Army will
find us eventually.
There's many people
here. We should form
an alliance with them
against our common enemy.
- That's a great idea.
- Absolutely!
- Definitely!
- Form an alliance.
- An alliance is good for sure.
But who could possibly
be the leader, huh?
- Chori has won the
respect of the people here.
Therefore, he should
be the leader.
- How can he lead when
he's not even around?
- You have a better candidate?
- Well, if I am to be the chief,
- Stop there. A
real chief should
know more than paying
off his enemies.
- We're broke.
- Ah. All of them
laughing at me.
Da. I will make them pay.
Ah.
Huh?
Stop. Who's there?
Who are you?
Ah! You're a demon. Na.
- Give me the saffron flower.
Give it to me or I'll kill you.
- Do that and you'll
never ever have it.
Why do you need it?
- Our king, the great Lutsen
was injured in a battle
and the flower can
rejuvenate him.
- Only the thousand year
old saffron flower. Huh?
- There are three
legendary things that can.
One of them is
the saffron flower
that somehow ended
up in your hands.
Then there's the
Buddha Palm Ginseng
that can cure all
diseases. But it moves
so fast that it's almost
impossible to catch.
Finally, there's the snow lotus,
which is the most
precious of the three.
Not only can it give you
unimaginable strength,
but it can also bring
the dead back to life.
However, the lotus is invisible.
So no one's ever
found it before.
Now give me the flower, or else.
- No, no, no, no, no.
Don't hurt me, my Lord.
I will give you
the saffron flower.
- Good. You shall
be kindly repaid.
- I like dealing with the
reasonable guys like you.
- Yes?
- Elder priest.
Chori just came back.
- Oh really? Take me to him.
- Follow me.
- Hm.
Trotung?
- Hm?
- What's all this?
Stop lying about Chori's return.
- A wise man, indeed.
Well, let's have
a talk in private.
- About what?
- About making me
Alliance chief.
- And if I say no?
- Then you'll
just have to die.
- Hm. He takes more than
bluffing to scare me.
- Go to hell!
- Trotung, how could
you? You traitor.
He's our enemy.
- I know that, you fool.
Now die.
- He said that we're enemies.
- No, it's quite the opposite.
We're the best of friends.
- Oh?
- Mama. Is this the
right way to go?
- I remember there
were wild horses
roaming around this area.
- I don't see horses.
Just hills.
- Look. There they are.
- They live on the cliff?
- Yes. These horses
adapted to a life here
due to the ongoing
warring of clans.
- Look over there.
- My people call him
the dragon horse.
He is their great king.
- Even on the cliff,
he runs so fast.
Riding him would be a dream.
- No one has tamed the
dragon horse before.
- Why is that?
- Because it eats people.
- Huh?
- Huh? The priest's missing.
- There's no sign of him. None.
- Time is against us. We can't
wait forever for a new leader.
- The tribes agreed already.
We must choose a leader.
- That's right. Only with
a leader can we be united.
- I think that we
should wait for Chori.
- We can't wait much
longer. The tribes
won't be convinced no
matter who we choose.
So we should have a horse race,
and the one who
wins will be chief.
- The horse race?
- That's not a
bad idea. I agree.
- Agreed.
- I also agree.
- Giatza, what do
you think of that?
- Let's go faster. To Chori
Hiyah!
- Huh? Mama.
We're almost there
now. So please hang on.
- Goja Lamo. You've always been
so strong. Don't give up now.
- Mama. Mama!
- Chori.
Chori!
Chori!
- Giatza!
Brother!
Oh I've missed you
- Little brother.
I missed you too.
Oh, you're all grown up.
- I can't believe it.
- Been learning some new
combat skills, huh? Try me.
- The alliance needs
you as our leader.
- But I'm taking my mom to the
Dragon clan to find a cure.
- Oh, I understand.
Maybe there's a cure over in Ma.
But the race is so soon.
Chori, without you,
the tribes are doomed.
When the giants
of Jhong find us,
there's going to be a massacre.
- But I can't abandon my,
huh?
- She's gone!
- Mama!
- Mama!
- Chori.
- Mama! What are you doing?
- Chori. I'm dying.
I should have followed your
father a long time ago.
It was you that kept me
going this long.
- Mama!
- Chori. Look up.
Let me see you one
last time.
- Mama!
- To me Chori, you're already
a great hero.
Who is meant to,
who is meant to save the world.
Don't feel sad for
me.
Mama will be watching
you from above.
Chori, my son.
- Mama.
- Sweetheart.
Mama will always love you.
- No!
Mama! Mama!
- Chori!
- Mama!
- Is that?
- The ginseng!
- Where is my reward friend?
- Ah!
- Relax. This
is the Demon horse, Yotcha.
It's extremely fast. You will
win the race and be king.
- You'd better be right.
- It's fine.
I've got everything
under control.
- You're mine now.
One, two, three.
Excellent.
- Yah! Get outta my way.
Unless you wanna get
hurt by my horse!
Yah!
- Look, that horse
is terrifying.
- Where did he get that monster?
- Wait, who's that?
It's Brugmo!
- Oh, she looks amazing.
- She's so beautiful.
- Well look who it is.
You ran away and Hid
in Ma like a coward
while we suffered
because of what you did.
Are you ashamed at all?
- Hmm! You're one to talk.
You gave over an innocent woman
rather than fight the giants.
- You!
- Hmm.
- It's tradition that
the rider who wins
the race gets the
most beautiful woman.
And that would be you.
Since you didn't marry
the king of Jhong.
You should be the
reward of this race.
- Well said. I'll
marry the winner,
but not as some reward.
- That's so great. Then
you are gonna be mine.
- See you at the race.
- Hmm.
Hiyah!
- Now I have to win this.
- No me.
- Count me in.
- You troublemaker.
- I'm gonna marry
Chori. He will win this.
- Hmm?
- Hmm.
- Chori, watch out!
I name you. Kyang Go Karkar!
Let's go!
- Chori, Where are you?
- Hiyah!
- Your Ladyship, another rider.
Here comes another rider!
- Kyang Go Karkar.
We're already late.
Show me we can still
win this race. Come on!
Hiyah! Yah! Yah!
- Finally.
- Who's that masked man? Look
how fast that horse runs.
- You slow pokes. Don't
get in my way. Come on!
- Yah! Yah! Yah!
- That horse is fast!
- Too slow.
- What did you say?
- I said you're too slow.
- You damn faceless
scum! Come on
- Get up and ride!
- Hiyah!
- Oh whoa! There's more!
- What happened?
- Why has the dust settled?
- What's wrong?
Where did they go?
- Please be safe.
- Tengara. Go look.
- Yes your Ladyship.
- Damn it. Someone here
knows the exorcism spell.
Oh well, I've done my part
in helping Trotung. Hmm.
- Demons. Demons!
- Come on the race is still on!
Let's go! Hiyah!
- What? The monsters
didn't stop them at all!
Let's get out of here. Hiyah!
- Trotung cheated!
He broke the rules.
Broke the rules!
- Ha ha! Challenge
me if you dare!
Out of my way.
Victory will be mine!
I'm the king!
- You will never be king!
- Chori? Is it really him?
- Chori!
Chori! Chori! Chori!
- Today Chori was
the winner of the
horse race and the
love of Brugmo,
the most beautiful
woman in Ling!
He also won our respect with
his integrity and wisdom!
- Long live Chori!
- Chori is the gods' gift to us!
From now on, he will be
the chief of our clan.
He is King Gesar.
- King Gesar! King
Gesar! King Gesar! King Gesar!
- King Gesar your majesty. I
humbly submit myself to you.
Except this mercy
offering of barley wine.
And forgive me of my
offenses toward your majesty.
- Uncle Trotung, I
never blamed you.
You should ask forgiveness
of the gods not me.
Cheers.
- Cheers.
Ah.
- Even the gods
wouldn't forgive him.
- Huh?
- It's the priest!
- He's alive.
- The priest has returned.
- The priest is alive.
- Norsang!
Oh thank God. You're alive.
- Trotung. You conspired with
the demons to destroy Ling.
Your heart has long been
corrupted by the devil.
I was lucky to be
saved by Norsang.
- You didn't drink the wine?
- Oh, I must have
saved it just for you.
Uncle.
I'm disappointed in you.
- Kill him. Kill him!
- Kill him! He
deserves death! Kill him.
- No. The gods will
decide his fate.
- Your Majesty, King Kesa.
The giant Jhong army is here.
- Smash all the rocks, and make
sure nothing gets in our way!
- Charge!
- Huh?
- Short-Legs, I'm here.
I've been waiting for you.
- Giants, attack!
- Stop! It's too
dangerous to continue.
I am not falling for that.
Giants, retreat!
- Hey you big coward.
Hey, Short-legs. It seems
you're missing your ear.
- Ugh! Blasted
Brugmo! I'll kill you.
- With your short legs.
I'm afraid it's gonna
take years. Hurry up then.
- Ugh! Everyone.
Kill her!
- Yah!
- Huh?
Retreat!
Stop!
- Oh no. Our plan! Now what?
- Today is not you day, huh?
Giants, kill him!
- Bring it on!
- Chori.
- King Gesar!
- I am...
King Gesar!
- Led by King
Gesar, Warriors of the Alliance
defeated the formidable
giants of Jhong.
However, waiting for our hero
are even stronger evil forces
and furthermore
difficult trials.
- King Gesar!
- That crafty low life Chori.
Luckily I have the
magic saffron flour.
Ah. Huh?
- You fool. You
walked right into my trap.
- No, my friend.
Please. I'll die without it.
- That's right. As
your good friend,
I bid you farewell.
- Ah! The thousand
year old Snow Lotus!
- Power. Ah!
