The Chronicles of Riddick

[Woman Narrating]

They are an army unlike any other...

crusading across the stars

toward a place called UnderVerse,

their promised land...

a constellation of dark new worlds.

Necromongers, they're called.

And if they cannot convert you,

they will kill you.

Leading them, the Lord Marshal.

He alone has made a pilgrimage

to the gates of the UnderVerse...

and returned a different being.

Stronger. Stranger.

Half alive and half...

something else.

If we are to survive,

a new balance must be found.

In normal times,

evil would be fought by good.

But in times like these, well,

it should be fought

by another kind of evil.

Linin' him up for you.

Port-side shot comin' up.

Steady. Here we go.

Steady.

Take it. Take it.!

Take the shot!

Shit!

Toombs, we're runnin' out of road!

Shut up! I got it! Again!

Now!

- [Groans]

- Toombs!

[Growling]

Riddick.

I don't know, Toombs.

Looks kinda tight.

Not where I'm sittin'.

This is the biggest payday ever,

So throw on a fresh pair of panties.

Let's get this right.

[Grunting]

Three meters clearance port-side.

One and a half meters starboard.

We got a choke point comin' up.

- [Growls]

- [Yelling]

What the shit was that?

Tags, you got eyes on Riddick?

Tags?

Jesus.

He just ghosted two guys,

and I never even saw him.

What do you think, Toombs?

I mean, maybe we oughta just...

I think you're my new gunner.

Grab a Gat.

Stay on top of him this time.

- [Grunts]

- [Yelling]

[Man]

You made three mistakes.

First, you took the job.

Second, you came light.

A four-man crew for me?

Fuckin'insulting.

But the worst mistake you made...

Empty gun rack.

[Cries Out, Groans]

- What's the bounty on my head?

- One mil.

[Groaning]

- One-point-five.

- What slam pays. for a convict?

Private party.

Hey, hey, hey, hey!

Guy, guy! Easy! Anonymous.

- That's what the sheet said.

- What planet?

Helion Prime.

Whoa. Where you goin'?

Last question.

And you better get this one right, merc.

Whose ship is this?

Mine?

[ Yelling]

[Riddick Narrating]

Knew they'd come for me.

Took 'em five years, but I knew.

You don't expect these mercs

to have any honor, any code.

But this new bounty from a holy man,

a guy whose neck I saved...

Well, lesson learned.

No such word as "friend. '"

Can only end bad

when you let someone get too close.

[Chuckles]

Bad for them.

So now it's back to all the brightness...

and everything I hate.

Wonder if she'll be there.

[Door Opens]

[Growling]

[Snarling, Snapping]

Act like an animal and

I'm gonna slot you up like one.

This one is always in trouble.

I knew it!

I smell it.

- [Grunting]

- [Gasping]

- [Grunts]

- [Yells, Groans]

Get in there!

[Growling]

[Roaring, Growling Continue]

Can we shut the goddamn noise?

[Growling Ends]

[Growling]

[Snarling]

[Growling Continues]

[Howling]

[Riddick]

They say most of your brain

shuts down in cryosleep.

[Woman's Voice, Distorted]

Brain shuts down in cryosleep.

- [Riddick] All but the primitive side.

- [Woman] All but the primitive side.

[Riddick]

The animal side.

[Woman]

All but the Furyan side.

Some of us still remember

the true crime that happened

here on Furya.

And once you wake...

truly wake...

you'll remember too.

- [Crashing]

- [Woman Over Radio]

Helion Prime is on alert condition four.

[Alarm Blaring]

[Groaning]

[Man Over Radio] Unrecognized craft.

You need to follow me to Spaceport Six

for security inspections.

Hey.! Do you hear me?

Follow me to Spaceport Six now.!

[Growling]

Imam, pray for us.

[Woman]

It was confirmed

two seasons back. Yes.

[Woman # ]

They're coming here.

I mean, are we next?

[Man]

Militants storm...

[Woman # ]

Yes. But going to the underground

shelters if it happens...

[Man # ]

You're right.

That's what I thought too.

[Man # ]

Are you staying or leaving?

[Man # ]

It's the end of everything.

Everything.!

[Man # ] Well, my neighbors...

[Man # ]

Half my street is gone.

What are we gonna do?

I don't know. I don't know.

[Woman # ]

Hood of the devil.

That's what someone called 'em.

Them? Who is them?

Some kind of new creature...

This is nonsense.

It's all nonsense.

[Man # ]

So tall that it touches the clouds.

And there's nothing around

this statue, this colossus.

Nothing left.

It's their calling card.

[Riddick]

Did you know all your doors were locked?

Five years ago,

I took two people off that planet...

A kid, Jack,

who everyone else thought was a boy, ;

and a holy man...

searching for New Mecca.

Your wife...

She's in the shower.

I told one man...

where I might go.

I showed trust to one man.

Did I make a mistake, Imam?

There is no simple answer.

Whatever was said

was meant to give us a chance...

a fighting chance.

Were it not for the threat of invasion,

I never would have betrayed you.

I give you my word, Riddick.

Riddick!

Riddick!

[Riddick]

And a daughter...

- No!

- Whose name would be...

If you have issue with me,

you let it be with me.

You need not know their names.

[Girl]

Ziza.

My name is Ziza.

Ziza.

- Cute kid.

- Did you really kill monsters?

The ones that were gonna

hurt my father?

Such are our bedtime stories.

Go, Ziza. Go on!

So now who do I have to kill

to get this payday off my head?

[People Chanting, Indistinct]

It is said the comet

always precedes them...

these world-enders.

The Coalsack planets are gone.

Eight million settlers missing.

The entire Aquilan System is gone too.

Helion Prime shares its sunlight

with all worlds nearby.

If we fall, they fall.

And after that...

My God,

how do I save my family?

Have you heard anything I've said?

You said

it's all circling the drain...

the whole universe.

Right?

That's right.

Had to end sometime.

[Arabic]

[Arabic]

The one you want is now here.

And whose throat is this?

If you cut my throat, I'll not be able to

rescind the offer that brought you here.

Nor tell you why it's so vital

that you did come.

The blade comes off

when the bounty comes off.

This is Aereon,

an envoy from the Elemental race.

She means you no harm.

There are very few of us

who have met a Necromonger

and lived to speak of it.

So when I choose to speak of it,

you should choose to listen.

Necromonger.

It is the name that will convert

or kill every last human life...

unless the universe

can rebalance itself.

Maybe you should pretend like you're talkin'

to someone educated in the penal system.

In fact, don't pretend.

Balance is everything

to elementals.

Water to fire.

Earth to air.

We have   different words for it.

But now we have only time

to speak of the balance of opposites.

There is a story, Riddick,

of young male Furyans...

strangled at birth...

strangled with their own cords.

When Aereon told this story

to the Helion leaders,

I told her of you.

- What do you know of your early years?

- Do you remember your home world?

- Where it was?

- Have you met any others?

Others like yourself.

- Sister, they don't know

what to do with just one of me.

- [Knocking]

[Man]

Open up in there.!

[Knocking Continues]

- Stand back!

- Open up.!

They are searching houses!

Shh!

They look for a man

who came here today.

They think he might be a spy.

A spy?

Did someone see him

come here today?

Did they?

Lajjun, stop.!

We're sure he's in there.!

I will send them away.

But wait one minute, please.

Will you wait one minute

to save worlds?

Not my fight.

So, you will leave us

to our fate,

just like you did her.

[Man]

Break it down.!

[Banging]

Get him!

Come. Let us try to send them away.

[Commotion]

[Man]

Move it. Come on.

[Lajjun] Leave us alone.!

There is no one here!

[Cries Out]

[Man]

You don't understand.

He can help us.! He can help us.!

Go.!

You're not afraid of the dark, are you?

- [Commotion]

- [Gunfire]

- Get him.!

- Where is he?

In there!

[Footsteps Approaching]

[Shivering]

[Knife Clatters]

[Footsteps Retreating]

You mentioned her.

She, uh...

She went looking for you.

People died.

She went to prison.

L... I don't remember where.

But it was a world so hot

you not survive on the surface.

Crematoria.

Young Jack.

She thought of you

as her older brother.

She worshipped you.

You were supposed to watch her.

She never forgave you...

for leaving just when

she needed you most.

She needed to

stay away from me.

You all do.

Riddick.

Are you gonna stop

the new monsters now?

Furyans.

Defiant to the end.

[Man Speaking Alien Language]

[Excited Chattering]

No, no.

We go to the shelter.

We take only ourselves.

[Commotion]

Stay close.

[Commotion Continues]

- No!

- [People Shrieking]

[Man]

Flight leaders, get all squads

off the ground now.

We have heavy inbound.

Follow me in.!

[People Clamoring]

[Distorted Voice Over Radio]

The next shelter.

This way!

Yeah!

Whoo-hoo.!

I'll see if it's safe.

- Stay back!

- Come, Ziza.

Come!

[Shouts]

[Gasps]

You following me?

[Heavy Breathing]

[Shouting]

[Roaring]

[Muttering]

Lajjun and Ziza!

When it's over.

Let me go.

I must get to my family!

When it's over.

[Gasps]

I borrowed a ship.

You can ride along,

if you don't mind riding with a convict.

I thank you, but I must get

my family across the river.

God willing, there is still

a shelter I can get them...

I'm sure God has his tricks,

but getting out of places

no one else can,

that's one of mine.

Let's get your family.

Aah!

In here.

Get in.

Shh.

[Amplified Breathing]

[Electronic Screeching]

[Cries Out]

[Clicking, Whirring]

- Imam.!

- Don't follow me.

[Shouts]

[Whimpering]

[Gasping]

[Grunting]

There will be

an afterlife for me.

Will there be for you?

- [Screams]

- [Blow Lands]

[Cheering]

Let's go replenish the ranks.

Never fails to inspire, does it?

Each time a dynasty falls.

Remember your place,

Dame Vaako.

My place is at your side,

dear husband.

From here till UnderVerse come.

In this 'verse,

life is antagonistic

to the natural state.

Here, humans in all

their various races...

are a spontaneous outbreak...

an unguided mistake.

Our purpose...

is to correct that mistake.

Because there is another 'verse...

a 'verse where life

is welcomed and cherished.

A ravishing, ever-new place

called UnderVerse.

But the road to that 'verse...

crosses over the threshold.

Threshold!

Take us to the threshold!

What you call... death.

[Muttering]

So it is this 'verse

that must be cleansed oflife,

so that UnderVerse

can populate and prosper.

[People Clamoring]

Look around you.

Every Necromonger in this hall,

every one of the Legion Vast that just

swept aside your defenses in one night...

was once like you.

Fought as feebly as you.

Every Necromonger

that lives today...

is a convert.

- There'll be no conversions!

- We all began as something else!

It was hard for me to accept, too,

when I first heard these words.

But I changed.

I let them take away my pain.

- You betrayed your faith!

- Just as you will change...

when you realize that the threshold

to the UnderVerse will be crossed...

only by those who have

embraced the Necromonger faith.

For those of you

who will right now...

drop to your knees

and ask to be purified.

We will not renounce our faith!

No one here

will do what you ask.

It is unthinkable!

This is a world of many peoples,

many religions.!

And we simply cannot

and will not be converted!

[Gasps]

Then I'll take your soul.

- Join him...

- [Body Thuds]

Or join me.

This is your one chance.

Take the Lord Marshal's offer

and bow.

I bow to no man.

He's not a man.

He's the holy Half-Dead

who has seen the UnderVerse.

Look, I'm not

with everyone here.

But I will take a piece of him.

A piece you will have.

- [Growls]

- [People Gasping]

[People Gasping]

Stop him.!

Irgun. One of my best.

If you say so.

What do you think of this blade?

I think it's a half-gram heavy

on the back end.

In our faith,

you keep what you kill.

[Straining]

Are you familiar to me?

Have we met

on some distant field?

You'd think I'd remember.

You'd think I would too.

Take him before the Quasi-Deads.

Perhaps the breeder

would do it...

if somebody just asked him.

It is a rare offer.

A visit inside Necropolis.

It's been a long time

since I smelled beautiful.

Let me show you the way.

Beautiful eyes.

Come.

The last six Lord Marshals

have called this home.

Magnificent, isn't it?

I might have gone

a different way.

True of us all.

Converts receiving the mark

of the Necromonger.

They learn how one pain

can lessen another.

There now.

That is just... perfect.

The more you resist them,

the greater the damage will be.

[Female Voice Whispering]

A new one.

You've brought us the one.

[High-pitched Whining]

Interesting breeder.

[Whispering Continues]

Making entry.

- This won't take long.

- [Groaning]

We've entered his neocortex.

- Ahh.! The Riddick.!

- Regress.

[Female Voice]

Scanning fresh memories.

Thoughts of someone called Jack.

Riddick!

[Imam]

She went to prison.

[Female Voice]

Now we find thoughts of an Elemental.

The one race that would slow

the spread of Necromongers.

- Furyans.

- [Female Voice] Furyans.

Where does he come from?

Who are his people?

These are the things I need to know.

[Female Voice]

We find energy.

[Woman's Voice]

You must settle your past.

- [Gasps]

- [Female Voice] We find Furyan energy.

- For all of us.

- [Female Voice] He's Furyan.!

Furyan.!

A Furyan survivor.!

[Woman]

Look at our world, at the graves of those

who didn't escape   years ago.

There is no future

until we settle our past...

for all of us

who bear the mark.

[Female Voice]

Kill the Furyan.! Kill the Riddick.!

Kill the Riddick.! Kill the Riddick.!

Kill the Riddick.!

Kill the Riddick.!

Kill the Riddick.

Who is this man?

Find him. Whatever it takes. Find him!

Let me guess.

A five-man crew this time.

Couple of things

you could have done better.

First, trash the locator beacon

inside my ship... the one you jacked.

And second... and this is really

the more important part...

dust my dick

when you get the chance.

- Any questions?

- Yeah.

What took you so long?

Let's go, big boy.

In and out, unsuspected and undetected.

Damn, I love a good smash-and-grab.

Not so fast. Not so fast.

Dickheads.

We're pickin' up fields here.

[Female Computer Voice]

Unknown fields detected on hull.

I knew it. Here it comes.

This is some kind of scan.

I don't know.

Readin' our Btus, maybe?

- Let's drop one.

- Dropping.

[Female Computer Voice]

Decoy launched.

[Female Computer Voice]

Preparing to engage ion drive.

So,

where do we drop

your merc-killin' ass?

Who's gonna pay

the most for you now?

- Butcher Bay?

- Butcher Bay.

Ten minutes every other day

on the dog run.

Protein waffles aren't bad.

Hey, how 'bout Ursa Luna?

Nice little double-max prison.

They keep a cell open for me...

just in case I drop in.

You know the problem

with thesejoints now?

Health clubs

for waffle-eatin' pussies.

Maybe we should think about

uppin' our game here a little bit.

Think about someplace

truly diabolical.

What the hell is he thinkin' now?

[Riddick]

He's thinkin'a triple-max prison.

A no-daylight slam.

Only three of'em left in this system...

two of'em outta range

for a shitty little undercutter

like this one with no legs.

Leavin'just... one...

Crematoria.

That is what you had in mind,

right, Toombs?

- Hey, how does he know

where we're goin', and we don't?

- Dope it out.

- I hate this run.

- Just do it!

Don't know about this

new crew of yours.

They seem a bit skittish.

Probably shouldn't tell 'em

what happened to the last crew.

You know, you supposed

to be some slick-shit killer.

Now look at you...

all back-of-the-bus

and shit.

I say we attack Helion Two next.

Take it straight

into their teeth.

It'll cost you      heads,

five warrior ships.

Nothing more, I swear it.

While I do prize brute force,

this approach

is perhaps more artful.

Start at the end.

Go straight to Helion Five,

the last planet

in the system.

We approach from the night side.

Remove these cannon first,

then attack

the larger placements at speed.

We'll catch them on their rear flank.

And in ten days'time,

the rest of those worlds

will tumble before us.

You see, as with most,

their blind spot...

is right behind them.

I've located an ion trail

which leads off-world.

Then you should be

off-world, Vaako.

I've deployed a tracker team.

One of the best.

Wherever Riddick has gone,

you lens him out and cleanse him.

- You.

- You want me to take a frigate

for one breeder?

Don't question it, Vaako!

Take it on faith.

He's always been unsettled around you...

the Lord Marshal.

Unsteady.

Perhaps because he knows

he's half the warrior you are.

Some say he's too artistic

for thejob.

I wouldn't be surprised

if someone promoted him soon...

to full dead.

Take care what you say.

Should I say it softly?

So it sounds more

like conspiracy?

Oh, why is it that when anyone

breathes about the demise of him

on the throne...

everyone assumes

a conspiracy?

Why isn't that

just prudent planning?

When he is ready,

he will name a successor.

Who?

Toal? Scales? The Purifier?

None of them...

with the strength,

the dignity,

of Lord Vaako.

You can keep what you kill.

- Stop.

- That is the Necromonger way.

I said... stop.

[Grunts]

His death will come in due time

and not a moment sooner.

- Why?

- Because I serve him. We all serve him.

It's called fidelity.

It's called stupidity.

[Laughs]

[Cries Out]

Well, finally some attention.

[Screams]

[Both Grunting, Screaming]

[Moaning]

You have such greatness in you.

If only you could see it like I do.

You know what I want?

Today I came up behind him

in perfect silence and he knew.

I wanna go down

in Necropolis.

Right now.

His half-dead soul sensed I was

behind him. He sees everything.

When no one is looking...

when no one's around...

I'm gonna get down on my knees...

while you sit on the throne.

[Indistinct Conversation]

- [Lord Marshal] How unexpected.

- An Elemental.

Here.

One of the captives.

[Lord Marshal]

And why, after   years,

should it be you?

He doesn't regard her

as a captive, though.

Elementals...

they talk of neutrality,

but they're all witches

and spies.

Why else would they

come and go like the wind?

But where has he gone?

Where is the Furyan hiding now?

You be the good warrior.

Go after this Riddick.

I'll find out why the Lord Marshal

is so threatened by him.

[Creaking]

[Panting]

Do you know

you grind your teeth at night?

Sexy.

[Grunts]

[Female Computer Voice]

Destination reached.

Unlocking manual controls.

All right. I make    degrees

on the day side,

below on the night side.

Let's not get caught in the sun.

If I owned this place and hell,

I'd rent this place out

and live in hell.

- [Female Computer Voice]

Blue angle... good.

- Stand by.

And...

[Female Computer Voice]

Plotted course good.

Hit it!

[Female Computer Voice]

Angle of approach, not good.

- [Laughing]

- Look, Ma. No hands.!

[Shouting, Laughing]

Party poppers!

I think I shit myself.

Skittish, Toombs. Very skittish.

Comry?

When the ride's over,

your goggles are mine.

[Groaning]

Four-way split!

[Laughing]

. kilometers.

So, this is Riddick.

What in the bowels of Christ

are you talkin' about,   K?

Don't take this one, boss.

See? Anatoli here

has a nose for trouble.

And this one, this Riddick guy...

Big, big trouble.

So,       is good money.

I'd take the money, Toombs.

[Clanging]

The guild pays us a caretaker's fee

for each prisoner each year.

We pay mercs  % of that total fee

based on a certain life expectancy.

How's about this?

You open that safe you got hidden

behind the console there,

show me the real books,

then we figure out my cut.

Then I'll be on my way.

Open my books.

This is what you suggest?

Wasn't a suggestion.

[Clanging Continues]

[Clanging Continues]

These are dangerous days,

if you believe the talk.

Talk?

About dead planets.

About some ghost army.

About them.

"Them"?

[Scoffs]

I'll run the numbers again.

It takes a couple of days,

probably,

so you can stay as my guest.

At least here, we are all safe.

Yes?

[Man]

Yes, boss.

I'll give it a day.

One.

[Man]

There are inmates...

and there are convicts.

A convict has a certain code.

And he knows to show

a certain respect.

An inmate, on the other hand,

pulls the pin on his fellow man.

Does the guards'work for them.

- Brings shame...

- [Shouts]

To the game.

So, which are you gonna be?

Me?

I'm just passin' through.

Welcome to Crematoria.

Should I go for the sweet spot?

Left of the spine, fourth lumbar down,

the abdominal aorta.

What a gusher.

How do I get eyes like that?

You gotta kill a few people.

[Chuckles]

Did that.

Did a lot of that.

And then you gotta get sent to a slam.

One where they tell you you'll

never see daylight again?

Only there wasn't any doctor here

who could shine my eyes,

not even for   menthol Kools.

Was there anything

you said that was true?

What are you gonna do, huh?

Go for the sweet spot?

Remember who

you're talkin' to, Jack.

Jack's dead.

She was weak.

She couldn't cut it.

The name's Kyra now.

And I'm a new animal.

They can be quite a test,

these deep runs...

tests of our inner selves.

Don't you find that true?

Some men do.

Just being so far from the armada,

the mind can start to fill

with strange thoughts, doubts.

Don't you ever have doubts, Vaako?

- Doubts?

- About the campaign.

About Lord Marshal.

First and always,

I am a Necromonger commander.

So if you're here to test my loyalty,

you succeed only in testing my patience.

Oh, no.

No, that's not why I'm here at all.

[Dame Vaako]

I'm so glad I could

steal you away for a moment.

Doesn't it strike you odd?

Here we have

the current Lord Marshal...

destroying entire societies,

and yet he can't bring himself...

to kill one

stranded Elemental.

Why is that?

You don't pray to our god.

You pray to no god, I hear.

Elementals... we calculate.

Don't we all.

But now let's have first things first.

What of Riddick?

In truth, I don't know

where he went.

In truth, I'm more interested

in where he came from.

Watch your step.

I've always wondered,

does an air Elemental fly?

Now do me a favor.

Calculate the odds of you

getting off this planet alive...

and now cut them in half.

No, we can't fly.

But we glide very well.

Save your threats, Necromonger.

I would have told you about Riddick

for the asking.

It concerns a foretelling,

a prediction now more than   years old.

Ayoung warrior

once consulted a seer.

He was told a child would be born

on the planet Furya... a male child...

who would someday

cause the warrior's downfall.

[Female Voice]

Cause his untimed death.

Furya? Furya's a ruined world.

No life to speak of.

For good reason.

This young warrior

mounted an attack on Furya,

killing all young males

he could find,

even strangling some

with their birth cords.

An artful stroke,

wouldn't you say?

So this warrior, the one

who tried to outwit the prediction,

would later become...

That's why he worries.

The Lord Marshal.

Which would make

the man-child...

He worries he missed

killing that child in its crib.

Riddick.

[Baby Crying]

That's why it's so vital to him.

Wait.

- It's about a prophecy.

- Wait! Wait!

Are you there?

You do what your lord asks.

You cleanse Riddick for him,

and in doing so...

you prove your undying loyalty.

And perhaps then

he'll finally let down his guard.

[Man]

Still here, I see?

I've been here   years.

See this?

I remember how gorgeous she was.

Well, gorgeous in a certain light.

And now,

for the goddamn death of me,

I cannot remember her name.

[Man]

Feeding time!

[Loud Snarling]

We're here for the rest

of our unnatural lives.

[Snarling Continues]

Here they come!

[Snarling Continues]

Whatever you do,

don't make eye contact.

[Clamoring]

[Snarling]

[Men Shouting]

Aaah!

- [Gasping]

- [Growls]

[Beasts Chomping]

[Snarling]

[Purring]

[Alarm Buzzing]

It's an animal thing.

[Footsteps]

Check her for me.

She's always got a blade somewhere.

- Hyah!

- [Groans]

[Grunting]

- [Grunting]

- [Yells]

[Grunts]

[Growls]

I don't think

she likes being touched.

I'd take my wounded and go

while you still can.

[Gasps]

Is there a name for this

private little world of yours, huh?

What happens there

when we don't just run away?

You'll kill us... with a soup cup?

[Laughing]

Tea, actually.

What's that?

I'll kill you with my teacup.

You know the rule. They aren't dead

if they're still on the books.

Mmm.

[Grunting]

[Gasps]

Come on.

Death by teacup.

Damn. Why didn't I think of that?

I didn't come to play

"Who's the Better Killer? '"

But it's my favorite game.

Haven't you heard?

I heard you came lookin' for me.

Is that all?

Then you missed the good part.

Hooked up with some mercs

outta Lupus Five.

Said they'd take me on,

teach me the trade, give me a good cut.

They slaved me out, Riddick.

Do you know what that could do to you

when you're that age?

When you're   years old?

I told you to stay in New Mecca.

[Shouts]

Did you not listen?

I had mercs on my neck.

I'll always have mercs on my neck.

I spent five years on a frozen heap

just to keep 'em away from you.

And you go and sign up

with the same fake badges...

that wanted to cut you up

and use you for bait.

What are you pitching, Riddick?

That you cuttin' out was a good thing?

That you had my ass covered

from halfway across the universe?

You signed with mercs.

There was nobody else around.

[Door Slams]

Let's pop the cork.

Get some fresh air.

[Whirring]

[Hissing]

So they do go topside...

to swap out air.

Interesting.

Who the hell are you?

When it happens, it'll happen fast.

Stay on my leg when I cut fence

or stay here...

for the rest of your natural life.

Nobody outs this place.

Nobody.

[Kyra]

He ain't "nobody. '"

Good news first.

Talked things over with my amigos here.

We'll cut you in for   K.

Well, all right.

What's the bad news?

They close the local whorehouse?

[Cackles]

No. The bad news is worse than that.

Much worse.

Our pilot, he saw this.

It crossed a shipping lane.

Any idea what this might be?

Never saw nothin' like it.

This ship charts back

to Helion Prime.

You know, Anatoli's

got a nose for trouble,

and he thinks

trouble follows you here.

Look. We dusted our tracks

and got the hell outta there.

There is no way

we didn't lose them.

"Them"?

This is my prisoner. Mine.

Nobody else's.

And I want my money now.

So...

you stole a prisoner...

from "them"?

[Yelling]

[Gunfire]

[Gunfire Continues]

[Gunfire Stops]

[Growls]

No.

Riddick. No.!

[Grunts]

Shoulda taken the money, Toombs.

[Grunts]

[Electricity Crackling]

- [Throws Switch]

- [Gate Buzzer Sounds]

[Gasping]

You gonna kill me?

[Raspy Breathing]

[Whirs]

[Man Groans]

Mercs.

Some guards here,

but this can't be all of them.

Check their slots in the back...

and be careful.

[Riddick]

Don't bother.

Guards ain't there.

They figured out the Necros

are comin'for me.

Plan was to clean the bank,

ghost the mercs,

break wide through the tunnel.

And then somebody got a lucky shot off

with this rocket launcher here...

and took out the sled.

Guards took off on foot

but rigged the door

so no one could follow.

They'll take the one ship in the hangar

and leave everyone else here to die.

How come you know all this shit?

You weren't even here.

'Cause it was my plan.

I shoulda taken the money.

[Sighs]

[Snarling]

[Snarling]

Riddick!

[ Yelling Echoes]

[Whirring]

[Man] What is this?

What is he thinking?

- [Man # ] Once that sun comes up...

- We'll last five minutes.

Five minutes. We ain't gonna last

seconds out there.

It'll light you up like a match.

-mile buffer zone

and   klicks to the hangar.

[Murmuring]

klicks over that terrain?

[Murmuring Continues]

It's moving in the right direction.

We could make it.

Stay behind the night,

ahead of the sun.

There's gonna be one speed...

mine.

If you can't keep up, don't step up.

You'll just die.

[Kyra]

Riddick?

[Shouts]

Riddick?

Riddick?

Go, go! Go on! Go! Climb here!

Climb! Go! Go, go, go!

Boss!

Up there.

- Take a look.

- Because Anatoli says so?

Because his nose says so.

[Hisses]

There's nothin' up here.

Oh, shit.

Riddick.

They're heading

right for the volcano fields.

They're going for our ship.!

No chance do they

get to the hangar first.

No chance!

Next one! Next hole!

We'll catch 'em there!

No more run for you.

Where did the big guy go?

- Ohh...

- [Groans]

[Bullets Ricochet]

Close it!

[Bullets Ricochet]

[Trigger Clicking]

[Cries Out]

What was that?

You don't care if you live or die?

If I kill them first, not really.

Maybe I do.

Keep moving!

[Grunting]

[Grunting]

[Grunting]

[Riddick]

Kyra?

- Kyra!

- What?

Get that ass moving!

- [Rocks Sizzle]

- [Groans]

[Breathing Heavily]

[Shouts]

Riddick?

Remember what I said

about not caring if I lived or died?

You knew I was kidding, right?

"One speed."

[Rumbling]

Temperature differential.

Your rope.

It's too late.

We're never gonna make it.

Your rope! Gimme your rope!

And your water. All of it!

Stay in the shadow of the mountain.

Don't wait for me. Run!

Riddick!

Aaah!

[Flames Roaring]

[Grunts]

[Breathing Heavily]

Where the hell is that hangar?

[Rocks Sizzling]

There it is.

[Grunts]

- Listen.

- [Wind Whistling]

[Wind Howling]

[Engines Thrumming]

- [Sniffs]

- [Amplified Breathing]

[Breathing Heavily]

Let me guess. Necros.

And a whole lotta Necro firepower.

Shit.! I hate not being the bad guys.

[Amplified Breathing]

[Electronic Clicking]

[Electronic Screeching]

[Rumbling In Distance]

I figure we got three minutes

before the sun hits us again,

burns out this whole valley.

- Wait.

- We gonna do this or not?

Just wait.

Ellen.

Her name was Ellen.

I never really forgot.

[Electronic Screeching]

Aaah! Boss!

[Gunfire Continues]

- Remember that favorite game of yours?

- "Who's the Better Killer?"

[Gunfire Continues]

- Let's play.

- Come on!

[Groans]

On the right!

[Yelling]

Watch out!

Behind you!

Kyra.!

- [Explosions]

- [Shouts]

Sybar!

[Screams, Grunts]

[Yells]

[Screams]

[Yells, Grunts]

[Growls]

[Gasps]

[Yells]

[Grunts]

[Yells]

[Grunts, Groans]

[Cries Out]

- [Shouts]

- [Grunts]

[Kyra]

No.!

- [Yells]

- [Grunts]

[Grunting]

Aaah!

[Gasping, Groaning]

[Yells]

Get up. Get up.!

Please get up.

So,

you can kneel.

[Woman's Voice, Distorted]

I think you know now.

I think you know

who tore Furya apart.

This mark carries the anger

of an entire race.

[Inhales]

But it's going to hurt.

[Groaning]

[Groans]

[Wind Whistling]

[Engines Thrumming]

[Alarm Siren]

[Gasps]

[Soft Clatter]

Kyra?

I was supposed to

deliver a message to you...

if Vaako failed to kill you.

A message from

the Lord Marshal himself.

He tells you to stay away from Helion,

stay away from him,

and in return,

you'll be hunted no more.

But Vaako will most likely

report you as dead.

So this is your chance.

Your chance to do

what no man has ever done.

The girl.

Where will they take her?

[Gasping]

We all began... as something else.

I've done... unbelievable things...

in the name of a faith

that was never my own.

And he'll do to her

what he did to me.

The Necromonger in me

warns you not to go back.

But the Furyan in me...

hopes you won't listen.

God knows... I've dreamed of it.

I have lost a Purifier...

but I have gained

a first among commanders.

It is overdue, isn't it...

that we acknowledge

your many accomplishments,

your steady faith,

and above all,

your unflinching loyalty.

Obedience without question.

Loyalty till UnderVerse come.

Well done, Vaako.

This is a day of days.

Look more pleased, Vaako.

You have killed his enemy...

and his suspicions.

- I should have brought back his head.

- You saw him unbreathing.

You saw him dead on the ground.

Riddick was no common breeder.

In a heartbeat he dropped   of my men.

All mysteries are not miracles,

not even in this religion.

And if you say it is certain,

then it is certain,

and we've already said it,

haven't we?

We have.

[Door Opens]

Now, tell me if it's true.

Tell me the Furyan is gone,

and I can close this campaign

without hearing his bootsteps.

If he is dead,

I sense I'm not far

from the same fate,

being of no further use here.

Shouldn't I tell you

that Riddick is still alive?

Don't try me, Aereon.

I could plow you under

with the rest of Helion Prime.

No one really knows the future.

Then tell me the odds

that Vaako met with success,

that I will now be the one...

who can carry his people across

the threshold into UnderVerse,

where they shall begin true life.

Tell me what I want to hear, Aereon,

and maybe

I'll save your home world... for last.

- The odds are good...

- That?

That you will reach the UnderVerse...

soon.

Ascension protocol!

We still have numbers

out there, Lord Marshal...

sweep teams, recon ships.

They would be hard-pressed

to make it back...

Get my armada off the ground!

[Engines Thrumming]

[Large Machinery Noises]

[Chattering]

[Heavy Slam]

- [Chattering Continues]

- [Heavy Slam]

- You mean on Helion?

- I mean here, on this very ship!

Could you be wrong?

Mind fabricates fear.

Could you be wrong?

Not so wrong as you

when you left him alive!

It's twice a mistake.

Not only your failure,

but now the report of success.

How do we salvage this? How? How?

Lord Marshal's got to be warned.

You will never see the UnderVerse!

He will kill us both

before our due time.

I say give Riddick his chance.

If he is half of what you think,

he can at least wound the Lord Marshal...

and that is when you must act.

Just to take his place?

Just to keep what I kill?

- That is the Necromonger way.

- It is not enough!

Then you do it for the faith!

If he has fear, he has weakness.

If he has weakness, Vaako...

He is unworthy of lordship.

We do it for all Necromongers.

Protect the faith.

This can still be a day of days,

but the timing...

must be flawless.

Final protocol.

Execute on my order.

[Panicked Chattering]

[Engines Thrumming]

Go inside.

Are they leaving now?

Ziza! Go inside!

[Gasps]

We found this Lensor dead.

[Lord Marshal]

Show me his last sight.

Commander Toal.

He won't escape twice.

[Chattering]

[Metallic Slicing Noise]

[Metallic Slicing Noise]

[Metallic Slicing]

[Grunts]

- [Grunts]

- Stay your weapons!

He came for me.

[Lord Marshal]

Consider this;

If you fall here now,

you'll never rise.

But if you choose another way...

the Necromonger way...

you'll die in due time...

and rise again in the UnderVerse.

Go to him.

It hurts...

at first.

But after a while,

the pain goes away,

just as they promise.

- Are you with me, Kyra?

- There's a moment...

when you can almost

see the UnderVerse through his eyes.

It makes it sound perfect...

a place where anyone

can start over.

Are you with me, Kyra?

Convert now...

or fall forever.

You killed everything I know.

Vaako.

[Grunts]

Not yet.

Been a long time

since I've seen my own blood.

These are his last moments.

[Grunting]

Give me your soul.

- Fuck you!

- [Groans]

[Growls]

[Grunts]

[Yells]

[Grunting]

[Grunts]

[Grunting]

You're not the one to bring me down.

[Groans]

[Gasps]

[Groans]

Now! Kill the beast

while he's wounded!

[Exhales Deeply]

[Groaning]

Help me, Vaako. Kill him.

Vaako?

Forgive me.

Flawless.

[Gasps]

No.

No-o-o!

[Echoing]

Now what would be

the odds of that?

I thought you were dead.

Are you with me, Kyra?

[Sighs]

I was always with you.

I was.
