Wait here.

Anybody here?

Waldemar!

Don't touch her!

Enough! Stop! Don't hit him!

It's Thar the Dumb. He lives with me.

He is harmless.

Sylvia.

She was badly hit, but it's not serious.

We'll take her to the monastery,

and she'll recover quickly.

Nobody has ever come out

from the palace of Sekkar Khan alive.

If they took your friend's father

and the other woman there,

you won't see them again.

But who is Sekkar Khan?

A tyrant, a descendant from an old lineage

who has had the control

of this remote region for centuries.

Everybody hates and fears him. His hired

assassin, Temujin, attacks the villages,

and his bandits are thieves and killers.

They kidnap young women

who disappear forever behind those walls.

Sekkar Khan is a villain,

but he's not so evil as a foreign woman

who has lived in the palace

for some time now.

Since then, everything has gotten worse.

And that woman?

Nobody knows where she came from,

but everybody whispers

about her power and evilness.

Since I came to this land,

it's been like a nightmare.

Here in Tibet are hidden

the biggest mysteries.

The most profound

and undecipherable enigmas.

You were in Karakorum when the moon

was shining in the dark.

I only know one remedy

for your affliction.

A remedy? What is it?

There is a magic plant with red flowers.

Its petals,

mixed with a young woman's blood,

can cure those who, like you,

have been contaminated

by the demons of Karakorum.

Where can I get those flowers?

Up in the mountain, near the eternal snow.

I'll go find them.

Only Thar and I take care

of this old monastery.

Monks left a long time ago.

I don't think this sanctuary

should disappear.

It's a bastion of good

inside the kingdom of evil.

Your friend will be cured soon.

Will you take her with you

in your search for the magic plant?

No, I want her to stay here.

I'll go on my own.

I don't want to risk her life.

She doesn't know

about your problem, does she?

No... She doesn't. It would be terrible.

Why? She truly loves you

and would help you to your death.

You must tell her.

Silvia, for the next three nights

I can't be near you.

I don't understand.

Why can't you be with me?

Silvia, I'm begging you.

It's the best for both of us.

Don't ask me anything more.

After those three days,

will we leave?

Yes, we will.

Valdemar...

I won't abandon my father.

I don't know if he is dead or alive,

but I'll look for him in that place

that Larry spoke about,

and nobody will stop me.

Come on, hurry up.

It's not easy to find that plant which,

together with you blood,

can free Waldemar from his curse.

If you fail,

you'll have to carry out a painful duty.

Open it.
