00:00:00The End
00:00:30The End
00:01:00Now, Captain Luke, your splendid service as an interpreter is appreciated.
00:01:21But, when you try to tell me stories of mesmerism, occultism, men without souls, hordes of supermen, capable of annihilating armies of tame men, you make me wonder which of us is sane.
00:01:34General, I dare say I failed in my presentation of the facts.
00:01:40No, no, not facts.
00:01:41But the ravings of a mad Cambodian thief.
00:01:44No, Luke, it's too fantastic.
00:01:47Read that last.
00:01:48General Headquarters.
00:01:49Austrians bringing up veteran shock troops.
00:01:52One moment.
00:01:52I wish I could believe in your robot.
00:01:55I could use several regiments of them right now.
00:01:57That's all.
00:02:00Yes, sir.
00:02:01You don't have to tell me you failed, Alman.
00:02:14I can read your emotions in your face as easily as you read the dead like you do.
00:02:18You can't find a language in which to convince General Duval.
00:02:22No, the chances are you apologized, stammered, he barked, and you retreated without firing shots.
00:02:28I wish I had your assurance, the faculty of knowing your objective and driving straight at it.
00:02:36It's simple.
00:02:37Just impress the other culture no more than he does.
00:02:40It has been called ego, Cliff.
00:02:42Oh, yes, but I like the American phrase better.
00:02:45Intestinal fortitude.
00:02:47Don't rub it in.
00:02:48Well, someone should.
00:02:49You know, I admire your knowledge, and you envy my ego.
00:02:51Well, I'll take half your knowledge, and you take half my ego, and we'll have two smart men.
00:02:56How much of this high priest story do you believe?
00:03:00Oh, I think there is such a thing as black magic.
00:03:02Call it superstition if you want.
00:03:03I don't know.
00:03:04But I don't believe that you can turn human beings into automatons, or as you call them, zombies.
00:03:09You believe in mental telepathy?
00:03:11Might be something to it.
00:03:12I don't know.
00:03:13Well, science does.
00:03:14It's an established fact, Cliff, that in the Orient, the last of an ancient race lives for the laws of telepathy.
00:03:19Their knowledge, their rituals, they're guarded by just such priests as this man, Pion.
00:03:26All right, I'll buy your tribe a mental telegraphist, but I'll not buy you a robot.
00:03:31Now, look, Cliff.
00:03:32Tiong here comes from Angkor, where, according to their legend, Angkor was built for these robots.
00:03:36Thousands of tireless, feelingless human machines.
00:03:39Yes, yes, I know, and they call them zombies.
00:03:41Controlled and directed mentally by their priest-king.
00:03:43Yes, and Tiong here is the last descendant of that priest-king and the only man alive that knows the secret of the zombies.
00:03:49I don't believe a word of it.
00:04:04He says that the general keeps his ears in the ground like the ears of a corpse, that he'll not listen to the words of wisdom.
00:04:11Well, what does he want to do, get the general from here for him?
00:04:29Tiong still insists his guards say he must create zombie soldiers.
00:04:33He says he'll show us how a handful of zombies can take an entire enemy trench.
00:05:03ParaĂn cheeses, call to a opponent.
00:05:08So, thank you so much for this round.
00:05:17budgeting for these
00:05:24To be careful.
00:05:26Hurrah.
00:05:26Hurrah.
00:05:27Hurrah.
00:05:27Hurrah.
00:05:28Hurrah.
00:05:28Hurrah.
00:05:28Hurrah.
00:05:31Hurrah.
00:05:31Hurrah.
00:05:31Hurrah.
00:05:32Hurrah.
00:05:32I am not here to beat the cause of the Central European power, but that of modern civilization.
00:05:44In the name of humanity, you must not go further with your experiment.
00:05:51It may mean the destruction of the White Rape.
00:05:58General von Schelling, the responsibility is not ours.
00:06:02It is that of a fanatical Oriental priest attached to our Cambodian contingent.
00:06:07We have already placed the man under arrest. His experiment ends with that.
00:06:11I think so. I shall be glad to return with that assurance.
00:06:26Then we are agreed that since the priest, Thiong, refuses to reveal his secret,
00:06:30he is a menace so powerful that he must be confined where he never again can use his occult knowledge.
00:06:38Quite right, General.
00:06:40Right?
00:06:41I suppose so.
00:06:43I am in the cause.
00:06:44Sir, your threat of life in prison must apparently have not moved this man.
00:06:53He understands it means solitary confinement?
00:06:55Yes, sir, and he still refuses.
00:06:57Then inform him that we are forced to carry through the sentence of solitary confinement for life.
00:07:01He has to be confined to his quarters, pending his removal to military prison.
00:07:14Yes, sir.
00:07:15On guard!
00:07:16He has to be confined.
00:07:21Okay.
00:07:21We have to wait.
00:07:25We need to wait.
00:07:26We are going.
00:07:27You need to recognize our buddy, so...
00:07:30Your father is innocent.
00:07:34Okay.
00:07:34He has to be confined to his cheek.
00:07:37You can be confined to some enemies.
00:07:38How are you supposed to hex the entire mountain today?
00:10:58Well, maybe someday I'll say something that meets with your approval.
00:11:01I have promised myself that, darling.
00:11:05Uh, Mr. Noupes, how do you like me in it?
00:11:08In what?
00:11:09This hat, copper, this.
00:11:13I think you're beautiful.
00:11:17Here.
00:11:18You're more than gallant.
00:11:20I-I begged you pardon, I...
00:11:22Oh, now you've spoiled it.
00:11:23Is this the discussion of business, or are we playing charree?

00:12:24translation of the legend would you have given up all that power for Ender I shall
00:12:31never have power and I've never known love well power is not so important you are

00:12:57uh-huh I'm hungry let's go back to camp all right let's do
00:13:07what did you say his name was Jakob Armand oh no I mean him oh Cliff Grayson
00:13:18I thought for a while she was in love with you I chose an imagination from this I could have
00:13:38understood that why you're so much more her kind but there goes that inferiority
00:13:48complex again you know someday I'm gonna cure you with it I hope you do what was it
00:13:55you said once about if you want anything right rough shot over everything he
00:14:02ruthless forget all sentiment get your objective take it and hold it I wonder if

00:14:17so
00:14:19what I wanted to do
00:14:21so
00:14:25so
00:15:30Well, I hardly know.
00:15:32The dance is centuries old, I expect.
00:15:34Yes, but the wiggle's always the same.
00:15:39That's the traditional wedding dance of the Khmers.
00:15:42You know, she had a nice...
00:15:44Father?
00:15:45Understanding of the dance.
00:15:49Now, Father, that girl is my discovery.
00:15:51This engagement party would not be complete without hearing from the lucky man.
00:15:55On your feet, lad.
00:15:57Let's see you rise to the occasion.
00:15:59Come on, there you are.
00:16:00Come on.
00:16:01I hardly know what to say.
00:16:10I suppose that no man hardly knows what to say in a situation like this, but I presume
00:16:17we all say just about the same thing.
00:16:20So, as trite as it is, may I say, I am the most fortunate man in the world.
00:16:29Bravo!
00:16:36I'm sorry.
00:16:37I must be overcome by Armand's emotions.
00:16:42Well, I...
00:16:43I don't know what I'm supposed to say.
00:16:48What Father does when he's giving up the only daughter he ever had.
00:16:53You couldn't say anything nicer than that, darling.
00:16:56I've said the right thing at last.
00:16:58I'm improving.
00:17:00Mr. Grayson, you were about to say something.
00:17:03Were you not?
00:17:04No, General.
00:17:06Like you, I prefer to listen to nothing.
00:17:09Well, that's strange.
00:17:11I've never known you at a loss for words.
00:17:13I wish you all the happiness that you deserve.
00:17:36It's like putting a jigsaw puzzle together, isn't it?
00:17:39Isn't it?
00:17:40I'm always wondering where the next piece goes.
00:17:42First thing we know, Claire, you'll be a puzzle jigger like us with a sieve and a shovel.
00:17:47Who knows?
00:17:48I might be the one who finds the secret of hypnotizing subjects.
00:17:53I know certain people I'd use it on.
00:17:58You tell us if you find the secret?
00:18:01Oh, she'd have to.
00:18:02A woman isn't supposed to keep a secret, is she?
00:18:04I don't know where the manifesto is, painting this slot, or trying out next year's color scheme for gentlemen's hair.
00:18:21Oh!
00:18:40Grayson!
00:18:40I can't understand it. I examined those ropes myself only this morning.
00:18:56You think you're badly hurt? I don't know. I'm just numb.
00:19:01We'll get you to the hospital tent.
00:19:03One thing I've always admired about you was your honesty.
00:19:14The thing I've most admired about you was your loyalty to your work and to your friends, Cliff Grayson.
00:19:23I've never had reason to question his loyalty either. Even now, he's an innocent victim, as I am.
00:19:29I loved him.
00:19:31And I loved you.
00:19:31So did he. But do you think he would ever have admitted it? Unless I...
00:19:37Unless you had used me to excite his jealousy.
00:19:41Exactly.
00:19:42I suppose in your mind you can justify that.
00:19:46A woman in love can justify anything.
00:19:49Be ruthless. Ride roughshod over everything.
00:19:53Forget all sentiments. Decide upon what you want and get it, no matter whom it hurts.
00:19:57I've been told that was the thing to do.
00:19:59And now I find it's a woman's code, too.
00:20:04Well, I still admire your honesty.
00:20:07Oh, I have a regret.
00:20:09I've hurt you.
00:20:12Well, you should have no regrets.
00:20:15If getting what you want is everything, there should be no regrets.
00:20:18Oh, aren't you being a little ruthless now?
00:20:24No.
00:20:24I'm a man who loves you.
00:20:26Even now?
00:20:28Yes.
00:20:28I shall always love you.
00:20:31I have been made somewhat ridiculous, it's true.
00:20:34But still, I love you.
00:20:35Oh, I'd much rather that you'd hate this.
00:20:40I wish I could.
00:20:42That would make things so easy.
00:20:45Had you done this to me, I should hate you.
00:20:49But for no other reason, because of pride.
00:20:52Where you are concerned, I have no pride.
00:20:55I have no pride.
00:21:25I have no pride.
00:23:55I change you, Ambassador, to the American Kingdom of Encore, witness the strange ceremony.
00:24:13Witness the strange ceremony.
00:24:22Fools.
00:24:27Fools.
00:24:29Under our very noble...
00:24:34The ceremony.
00:24:56The zombie ceremony.
00:24:59Then the secret does lie in Encore.
00:25:05Luna, we're going back to Encore.
00:25:17I want you to go with me.
00:25:19No, sir.
00:25:20No, sir.
00:25:21Do not go to Encore.
00:25:23Why not?
00:25:28Why not?
00:25:29Please.
00:25:30The priests hold very old religious custom because they glad you all go away.
00:25:36Very dangerous to go back.
00:25:38I want you to go back.
00:25:39I want you to go back.
00:25:45And we'll be right.
00:25:46I'll go back.
00:25:47I'll go back.
00:38:50And that's worse.
00:47:20Cliff.
00:55:49Good night.
00:57:19you.
