Conquest (1983) Movie Script
- You have chosen the path of
courage and sacrifice, Ilias.
A journey to the heart of a
very dark and evil domain.
Many blessings on you, son.
You are an example
of bravery among men.
Come back safely and
govern us with the wisdom
of your experience.
The great Kronos, many
and many suns ago,
fought with this bow and drove
back the terrible creatures
that invaded our land.
And when he ran out of arrows,
the sun suddenly dropped
from the sky and entered
his bow in a ray of glory,
shooting out a deadly
hail of flaming arrows
at all of his enemies.
- It was magic, wasn't it?
- No, it was a sign that
Cronus had become a man.
Sooner or later, each
of us must face evil.
Some men retreat
and take shelter.
Others hold their
ground and fight back
even at the cost of their lives.
You have already chosen
your path, my son,
the path of courage and
sacrifice, the path to manhood.
Never waver from
it. Never turn back.
- No matter what happens, I
shall not forget these words.
- Fare thee well.
- We have little for
Ocron, only this meat.
We give it to you. Take it.
- We kill. We kill your people.
- Fever and hunger have
already taken too many of us.
- Ocron take away sun
from you, always night.
Dark. You all die.
- No, take me. I'll go.
- Ocron not take old man.
Ocron like young flesh.
Doruya.
Very good. Young.
Young and fresh.
Yes.
Good.
- That won't be bothering
anybody anymore.
Wait!
Nice way to show your gratitude.
- Who are you?
- My enemies call me Mace.
- And your friends?
- I don't have any friends.
Do you know what this eye means?
It means every man is an enemy.
- So why did you save my life?
- I didn't save your life.
- I saved this.
Where are you from?
- From a distant
land. My name's Ilias.
- If you show me how to use
this, I'll take you with me.
- Where?
- Wherever our feet carry us.
He's wounded.
Here.
He'll be all right.
- I thought you
didn't have friends.
- We were talking about
men, not about animals.
- He hold weapon, fly in
air and kill from far, far.
Weapon fly like wind, fast.
- Who is he? Where is he from?
- Not from here. Never see
before, young, dangerous.
He kill many, from far
with flying weapon.
Kill many, fast like lightning.
- Let me see him. Let
me see this new weapon.
Silence, you fool.
Capture this stranger,
Fargo. Get him.
I want him and his weapon. Go!
- I learn fast, don't I?
Come.
Food.
When a man meets a man, you
never know which one will die,
but when an animal meets a man,
it's always the
animal that dies.
I'm on the animal's side.
- Isn't this an
animal you're eating?
- I didn't kill him.
- That's a pretty strange law.
- Not when you're hungry.
- What's wrong?
- I heard something.
- Probably animals
prowling for food.
- Probably men
looking for trouble.
Stay here.
- Well?
- Nothing.
- Ilias, run, run!
Over there, run!
- Now where do we go?
- Nowhere, we're trapped.
Snake! Look!
- Ah, he's harmless if
he doesn't bite you.
Out you go, my little
friend, out you-
Ilias.
My friend, we're in luck.
He just showed us the way out.
Let's go.
Come on, run, run!
- In my country,
they punish you.
- They'd have to catch me first.
Aza, food!
- Who are these people?
- Just people. Aza!
- Is she your woman?
- She is every time I pass by.
You can have her
too if you like.
- Oh, it's all right.
- Take her sister, then.
Mace! Oh, Mace!
- Mm, good.
- Mmm.
- Uta.
Ilias.
- Mace! Mace!
- Ilias. Ilias, where are you?
Ilias?
Ilias! Answer me!
- I take you to Ocron
alive. Ocron make you die.
- Ocron? Who's Ocron?
- Ocron rule the sun
and make night and day.
- That's not true. No
one can rule the sun.
Don't say a word.
Get the bow!
- Ocron does not
forgive those who fail.
Only great Zora can help me
stop the wanderer. Only Zora.
No, no, go away, go away, go
back to your land, wanderer!
I won't let you
find me. Go away!
Don't come here. Go away.
Go away! No!
No, no!
No, go away!
Zora, Zora, Zora, Zora.
Great king of darkness,
master of treachery,
light of all evil,
hear me, Great Zora.
Rise up from this creature's
spirit and take form.
Help me, oh great
slayer of souls.
Foul omens of death torment
me. Only you can save me.
Rise up, Zora, rise,
Zora, Zora, Zora!
Zora.
- Why have you called me, Ocron?
- The darkest and most
dreadful creatures of the earth
are at your command, Zora.
Conjure them up from
the valley of evil
and order them to
stop the wanderer.
In return, I offer you
my body and my soul.
- Forever?
- Forever, Zora. Forever.
- Do you want him dead or alive?
- Kill him. Strike him down.
- I shall make him
suffer a thousand deaths.
- Mace, who were those men?
Who's their leader? Answer me.
I want to know now.
Who is this Ocron, a man,
a woman, a creature, what?
- Listen to me.
You just forget about her.
- How can I?
Innocent men, women and children
were slaughtered because of us.
- Everybody dies
sooner or later.
- Don't you want to get revenge?
- We already did.
- What about Ocron?
She's still alive.
- What about Ocron?
Hmmph, Ocron.
I don't bother her.
She doesn't bother me.
That's why I'm
still here, alive.
Where does she live?
- Ocron lives far from here.
Beyond the great mountains.
I'll leave you
there with your bow.
I've never been
beyond that point.
After that, you're on
your own, all right?
I'll get some more wood.
- Too many people have suffered.
Ocron has to be
punished for her crimes.
- Ilias, give it up.
There's still time.
Ocron is too strong for you.
- No, I can't. I'd be a coward.
Let's go hunt for some food.
No one here
would ever fight Ocron,
only a stranger like you.
Your land must be a
very strange place.
- No, not at all.
Where I come from, all
men can live in peace
according to the law set
down by our ancestors.
You know, I'm sure
you'd like it there.
You don't always have
to search for food.
We make it grow close
to where we live.
- Really? You must be
proud of your people.
- I am. I can't wait to go back.
- You should go back.
Ocron is too powerful.
- No, wait.
- What's the matter?
- Birds are flying
towards the water.
- What does it mean?
- It's not good.
Get down.
Go, go, c'mon, go!
Ilias!
Easy, easy.
- I'm dying. I can feel it.
- It's a small wound. You'll
get better in no time.
- Don't lie to me, Mace. I
can feel the poison already.
- I won't let you die.
There's a small valley near here
where a magic plant grows,
a plant that's more
powerful than any poison.
- I don't have much
time left. Hurry.
- The water will carry
us faster than our feet.
We'll get there
before the sun sets.
It's too late. Look.
- It's swelling.
Hurry, Mace, it's going
through my blood.
- Be strong, Ilias, be strong!
I'll leave you here and
go to the valley alone.
It's faster.
I'll be back with the magic
leaves before the sun rises.
Ilias.
- Mace, Mace, hurry.
- As you wish.
- Mace.
- If you don't stop the
wanderer, Zora, I'm doomed.
- He won't go much
further. I promise.
- Don't fail me like the others.
Set loose all the dark and
evil creatures at your command.
Stop him quickly
and strike him dead.
Remember, much will be yours.
- It will be done, Ocron.
- Hurry up and leave while
you still can, Ilias.
- I'm not leaving. I'm
running away, let's be honest.
- You're a lucky
man to be alive.
- Come with me.
- No, Ilias.
- Life is easy.
We have long haired beasts that
help us work in the fields.
You'll like it
there, believe me.
- I can't leave this
part of the world.
- Why not? You're alone.
You have nobody here
waiting for you.
- I was born here.
Your land may be
better than mine, but
I would always feel
like a stranger.
- Here, take it. I won't be
needing it where I'm going.
- But it belonged
to your ancestors.
- You saved my life. I want to
give you something in return.
- No, this weapon is still
too dangerous for this land.
Go.
- Where is your friend?
- I have no friends.
- You lie. I will
make you tell me.
Sooner or later,
each of us must face evil.
Some men retreat
and take shelter.
Others hold their
ground and fight back
even at the cost of their lives.
You have already chosen
your path, my son.
The path of courage
and sacrifice.
No
matter what happens,
I shall not forget these words.
- I ask you one more time.
You answer or I make you die
in water. You have no choice.
You are a fool to
give your life.
Tell me where your friend
is and I'll let you go.
Where is he?
Answer me.
- Mace, I'm here, Mace!
I've come back. I'm not afraid!
- Mace, Mace!
You're alive.
I never thought I'd
see you again, Mace.
- Yeah.
- Why did you come back?
- I owed you a favor
and I've got something
to settle with Ocron.
Ocron lives beyond those
mountains, doesn't she?
Yes.
- Let's go then.
- No.
I think it's better if we
travel during the night.
We still have to cross
too much open ground.
We'll rest now.
Mace, Mace!
Mace, Mace!
- Ilias, Ilias, Ilias.
- Ilias.
- Zora, the great slayer
of souls, light of all evil
has kept his word, Ocron.
The wanderer that once
tormented your visions
can no longer harm you.
I have dispelled the dark omen.
- So I see. Good, good.
You have worked well, Zora,
and soon you shall
reap your just reward.
But now while his
flesh is still warm,
I shall open his temple
of secrets and devour him.
He too will not escape his fate.
No, no, Zora, you
haven't killed him.
You have slayed his
body but not his soul.
His spirit lives on and mock
me with eyes that do not see.
I am not redeemed yet.
The wanderer can still
fulfill the omen.
Where I come from,
all men can live in peace
according to the law set
down by our ancestors.
Too many people have suffered.
Ocron has to be
punished for her crimes.
- Ilias, give it up.
- Ocron's too strong for you.
- No, I can't.
- I'd be a coward.
Mace, I dwell in your spirit.
Take up my ashes
and anoint yourself.
The power that Kronos gave
to me through his magic bow
will now pass on to you.
Revenge. Revenge.
- Ocron, I've come
to avenge my friend
and to punish you for all
the suffering you've caused.
Today, the sun will
rise without you, Ocron.
- Stop him, Zora.
Get him!
Kill him!
Fools, you've all betrayed
me. A curse on your souls.
Zora, Zora, where are
you? Don't abandon me.
courage and sacrifice, Ilias.

very dark and evil domain.
