The Scorpion King 3: Battle for Redemption Page #4

I know you're

the Scorpion King.

You can say anything you like,

but your eyes say it is true.

I may have been, but that

man is dead and buried.

Many names can be shed and

forgotten in this life, Mathayus.

King is not one of them.

Please. Help us.

If you truly want

to help your people,

you'll find a man

that did not fail his.

The gods have their way,

and not even the mightiest

of men can stop it.

There are more than 500,000

people in this country.

Talus will not stop until he enslaves

them all to build his empire.

Then he will march

on Horus' kingdom

with the largest army

anyone has ever seen before.

Fight with me and

we can stop him.

And maybe, in some small way, you

can forgive yourself for the past.

I will never forgive

myself for the past.

Then you will

never have a future.

Mathayus!

Where in Odin's

codpiece have you been?

I needed to think.

And drink.

Do you know how long I've been

slogging around this forest,

fighting off ravenous

beasts, looking for you?

Why don't you quit

your bellyaching?

So is this quest over?

Even though every fiber in

my being is against it,

I shall stay and fight.

But for my reasons.

When we have crushed Talus and

sent him back into the dust,

that is where it ends for me.

Well said, Your Highness.

You call me that again,

and you will

never have that son.

You're gonna need

a bigger dagger.

You're gonna have to let

go of everything you know

if you're gonna fight with us.

Look at Yin.

You, watch me!

MANI GO, Yin!

YOU see?

Right!

Swatter for insects

would be of more use.

That's good. Now,

what if you are the insect?

You defy gravity, anticipate, predict

the movements of your predators.

Get under your enemy's skin.

I'll show you how we

do it where I'm from.

That

was a great move, Olaf.

Thank you!

Thank you very much.

Can we please continue?

Let's continue.

I think it's

your turn, Akkadian.

Let's see what

you got, pretty boy.

If you are the insect,

what are you?

Scorpion.

Not bad.

You try.

Look at me!

I'm a ninja! I can fly!

Not bad.

Good job.

Not too bad.

Let's see what you've got.

- He challenged the princess.

- Whoo!

You're gonna take on

the girl again, Mathayus?

- Huh?

- She kicked your butt once.

Take him down!

I don't know

whose hair is prettier.

GO, Silda!

You can't

scare the princess.

Oh, here it comes.

Teach him

a lesson, Silda.

That was a good one.

Did you see that?

You gonna dance all night,

or do you want to fight?

That's got to hurt.

The Cobra

will bite you.

How's the view, Princess?

He loses!

Let me guess.

I take your breath away.

Now that's what I

call a courtship.

The mighty Olaf.

My brother!

My Lord, I am Zulu Kondo, lion spirit

from the land of the burning sky.

Command me!

Lord, I am Agromael,

noble destroyer.

It is an honor to

join you in battle.

What mortal dares to awaken

the warriors of the Book?

It is I, Lord Talus, who summons

thee back to earth to do battle!

I am Tsukai, shadow warrior from

the land of the rising sun.

What is your will, My Lord?

"Will, My Lord?

" I believe a demonstration is in order.

Kill them all!

Well, there's that.

Very well.

Agromael will stay here and guard me

while your cohorts

go and kill a snake.

Tsukai, I want you to search

the ether for my prey, Cobra,

and reveal to me

his hidden refuge.

And when the refuge is found,

you will slaughter Cobra

and his army without mercy.

Well, you're up with the mist.

In my vision, I saw a slaughter

so vile, it made my stomach turn.

As far as the eye could see

were the staring

gaped-mouth corpses of men

cut down to pieces in the muck.

And what of us?

Oh, our heads screamed

silently on wooden spikes.

Our bodies burned

in a ritual pyre.

We still looked

fierce though, right?

Are you in this for

the fight or for her?

Both.

I cannot lie. She is...

She is under my skin,

and crawling deeper every day.

Do you question my judgment

because a woman is involved?

On my unborn son,

I am with you, Mathayus.

To the end.

Whatever that may be.

To the end.

Go to the north

side of the camp now.

You, get them out of here.

Come on. Hurry! Hurry!

That can't be good.

Silda, what's happening?

Talus awakened

the ghost warriors.

Ghost warriors?

The Eye of Gods medallion

has great power.

If the owner reads from

the Book of the Dead,

it awakens the warriors

from the underworld.

The Book of the Dead has been

lost for thousands of years.

Not lost. It has been with our

royal family for many generations.

Your father.

He would've given

his life to protect it.

Then he died well.

Let it not be in vain.

Olaf, we fight!

You don't actually believe all

this fantastic gibberish, do you?

Cobra!

Cobra!

I am here!

Get you and your

people to safety.

We'll hold them off

as long as we can.

Time to crack some heads!

I've seen you in my

vision, Scorpion King.

Look at what you have become.

You are a disgrace to your

people and your queen.

Your queen rules from the underworld.

You like to join her?

I would be happy

to reunite you.

I'll be joining

her soon enough,

but it won't be because of

your cowardly witchery.

Cowards!

Come on!

Is that all you got?

Come on, everybody.

Hold those children tight.

One step at a time!

That's it. Move. Move!

Oh, Silda,

where are we going?

Hold him!

Despite your glorious efforts, dear

heart, Cobra is still at large.

So now your only mission,

your only task is

to guard the Book.

Do you think you

can manage that,

oh warriors of

the etheric hoo-hah?

The Book is to only be touched by me.

Me alone.

Sire, I fear your

enemies remain powerful.

You underestimate

them at your own peril.

I feel they are

close and plotting.

Hmm.

Hmm, I feel something, too.

I feel

that this kingdom...

This kingdom,

it is mine.

And it is 'cause for

celebration. So come.

A celebration, Lord Talus, is premature.

We must remain at the ready.

The only thing that you

must do is obey me, slave.

We are warriors of the Book,

My Lord. Not slaves!

You are!

You are what I say you are.

Slave!

Unless you want to return

to your sarcophagus,

I suggest you hold your tongue

and you hoist your chalice

and prepare for celebration!

Slave!

Slave, slave, slave!

Slave!

Slave!

Mathayus.

Surprise, surprise.

You know you can't

get rid of me that easy.

I thought that

one day my people

and I'd be free to

escape this jungle,

return to the land

that is rightfully ours.

Yet with Talus' monsters

waiting to devour us,

I fear it will

be here we perish.

It's always better to

fight and be devoured,

even if the chance

of freedom is slim.

What now for you?

Do what I always do

in these situations.

Oh, yes? What's that?

Well, return with my prize,

collect my bounty, of course.

Bounty?

Still in it for

the money, I see.

Well, let's hope

Talus thinks so, too.

I don't follow.

You will.

I have a plan.

Oh.

And now that Ramusan's men
