The Scorpion King 4: Quest for Power Page #3

---

Now, I'm trying to understand

why you would come here,

pretending to make peace with my father.

I don't lie. You know that.

You're a warrior and a killer.

Aren't you the wrong man to

come here to offer us peace?

That's exactly what I told King Zakkour.

But he sent you anyway.

(DRAZEN LAUGHING)

I'm supposed to believe that?

I betrayed you.

I stole from you. I left you for dead.

Admit it, you've come here to

kill me and steal back the urn.

I come in peace.

Well, you will leave in pieces.

Now what do you really want?

What I want is to rip out your heart,

roast it, and eat it like a leg of lamb.

Is that truth enough for you?

- Yes.

- Yes.

It is.

It is only my pledge to King Zakkour

that keeps me from killing you.

How honorable.

I accept your offer of peace, Mathayus.

Now, we celebrate.

Guards. I'm sick.

I need a doctor. (COUGHING)

Drink, boys. To peace.

It takes a brave man

to look beyond himself

and act for the good of his people.

I have no people.

I'm just here to finish a job.

You see, Father, the great Scorpion

King is really just a hired killer.

What he said about ripping

my heart out and eating it?

That's the real Mathayus.

Now, to make it official.

(GRUNTING)

- The King!

- No.

(GROANING)

- Father!

- No!

Those are scorpions.

Your own father?

Who's the master now?

In fact, I'm about to be king.

Guards! Come now,

the King has been poisoned!

Alcaman.

Give me that. It's of no use to you.

This man murdered my father.

- Kill him!

- Wait!

We haven't eaten dinner yet.

- What?

- Who's hungry?

(SCREAMING)

Get him!

How's it feel to be king?

Stop him! Get him down!

DRAZEN:
Cut him off!

(YELLING)

DRAZEN:
Come on, come on, come on!

Kill him!

Careful, Mathayus.

You are a pawn in a game of kings.

No, I'm a warrior with a code of honor.

He poisoned the King,

and now he's escaped.

- Seal the gates.

- Right away.

Please, let me rest here a while.

(VALINA COUGHING)

Don't put me back in my cell.

Come on, man! We need everyone!

Wow.

I'm suddenly feeling better.

Do my spots look any different?

Let me look.

What are you doing?

Escaping.

- What are you doing?

- I'm escaping.

That's what all the commotion's about.

They're chasing after you?

Well, you're going the wrong way.

- You don't wanna go that way.

- And you're ruining my escape.

There they are!

What happened to seeing the King?

The King's dead.

Drazen killed him.

Well, feel free. Escape. Anytime.

I think I will.

What is that?

It's a farewell gift from the King.

Really?

Good luck.

Wait!

Hey!

Really?

Don't mess with sugar love.

Where's the party?

It's a search party,

and it's searching for us.

Let's go!
