ABSTRACT
Nur Azni Wardani, An Analysis of Illocutionary Acts in Prince of Persia : The

Sand of Time Movie. A Thesis: English Letters Department. Letters and
Humanities Faculty, State Islamic University “Syarif Hidayatullah” Jakarta,
2011.
In this research, the writer discusses the using of Illocutionary Acts in the
utterance of main character in Prince of Persia : The Sand of Time Movie. The
aims of this research are to find out the context and classification of Illocutionary
Acts used in Prince of Persia : The Sand of Time Movie, and to understand the
interpretasi of the dialogue between speaker and hearer that use Illocutionary acts
which are selected by the writer.
The writer uses qualitative descriptive analysis method. The writer collects
the data from the script, then describes contexts and classification of Illocutionary
Acts. Based on the theories provided, the data are analyzed one by one to know
the context and types of illocutionary acts used. To focus on the study, the writer
limits herself to analyze seventeen data, in five scenes.
From the analysis, the writer finds five types of illocutionary acts used by
Dastan as main character in Prince of Persia : The Sand of Time Movie. They are
Representantive (reporting, stating, and concluding), Directive (ordering, asking,
requesting, and command), Expressive (praising and appologizing), Commissive
(refusal and pledging), and Declarative (declaring).

CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
A. Background of the Study
Language is system of sounds, words, patterns, etc used by human to
communicate, thoughts and feelings.1 “Penggunaan bahasa dalam berkomunikasi
memerlukan dua sarana penting, yakni sarana linguistik dan sarana pragmatik.
Sarana linguistik berkaitan dengan ketepatan bentuk dan struktur bahasa,
sedangkan sarana pragmatik berkaitan dengan kecocokan bentuk dan struktur
dengan konteks penggunaannya.” 2 Language usage in communication needs two
important mediums, those are linguistic medium and pragmatic medium.
Linguistic medium is related to form accuracy and language structure, whereas
pragmatic medium is related to form accuracy and structure of using context.
Pragmatic is the study of relation between language and context that are
gramaticalized or encoded in stucture of language.3
Context is an important thing in pragmatic study. Context is a background
knowledge assumed to be shared by speaker and hearer and which contributes to
hearer‟s interpretation of what speaker means by a given utterance.4 Beside
context, there are another aspects of speech, those are hearer and speaker, purpose

of speech, etc. As the following, Gumperz and Hymes as linguists explain about
aspects of speech in the acronym.
Gumperz and Hymes construct the acronym of SPEAKING for desribing
aspects of speech. Those are setting and scene, participants, end, act sequence,
key, instrumentalities, norms of interpretation and interaction and genre. S is
Setting and Sense, which refers to the time and place of speech. P is Participants,
which refers to speaker and hearer. E is End, which refers to the conventionally
recognized and expected outcome of speech. A is Act sequence, which refers to
the actual form and and content of what it said. K is Key, which refers to the tone,
manner, or spirit in which a particular message is conveyed. I is Instrumentalities,
which refers to the choice of the channel and to the actual form of speech
employed. N is Norms of interpretation and interaction, which refers to the
specific behaviours and properties that attach to speaking and also to how these
may be viewes by someone who does not share them. G is Genre, the final term,
that refers to clearly demarcated types of utterance.5
Speech act is the most interesting theory in study of Pragmatic. “ Dalam
studi atau pengkajian tentang pragmatik (penggunaan bahasa), teori tindak
bahasalah ( speech act theory) yang paling menarik dan kelihatan relevan sekali
6
dengan pengajaran bahasa dan pembelajaran bahasa.” In study of Pragmatic,
Speech act theory is the most interesting study and seems relevant in language
teaching and language learning. Speech act is the action or intent that a speaker

accomplishes when using language in context, the meaning of which is inferred by
hearers.7
Speech act theory developed during the middle of the twentieth century
out of sense of dissatisfaction on the part of writers such as J. L. Austin.8 Austin
(1962) defined speech acts as the actions performed in saying something. Speech
act theory says that the action performed when an utterance is produced can be
analysed on the three different levels. These are, Locutionary act, Illocutionary
act, and Perlocutionary act. Locutionary act is roughly equivalent to uttering a
certain sentence with a certain sense and reference, which again is roughly
equivalent to „meaning‟ in traditional sense. Second, Illocutionary act such as
informing, ordering, warning, undertaking, Thirdly, Perlocutionary acts achieve
by saying something, such as convicing, persuading, deterring, and even, say,
suprising or misleading. 9
Illocutionary act is the function of the word, the specific purpose that the
speakers have in mind.10 “ Yang terpenting dari ketiga jenis tindak tutur itu
adalah tindak ilokusi. Inilah yang menjadi satuan analisis dasar di dalan kajian
pragmatik.”11 The most important study from the three kinds of speech act is
Illocutionary acts. It becomes the basic of analysis in pragmatic comprehension.12

That is an example of utterance that contains not only Locutionary act but also
Illocutionary act and Perlocutionary act as a main purpose of the utterance.
“Be carefull.”
Locutionary substance is (1) group of sound (2) formed two words then formed an
ordering. Illocutionary act substance is a speaker may be performing an
ilocutionary act of requesting/ordering hearer to be carefull. Perlocutionary
substance is hearer may will comply the request/order to be carefull.
Utterance can be found in dialogues of film. To analyze Illocutionary acts,
the writer has chosen data from the utterances of Prince of Persia : The Sand of
Time movie. Prince of Persia : The Sand of Time is a movie directed by Mike
Newell, produced by Jerry Bruckheimer and distributed by Walt Disney Picture.
The film retells the 2003 video game of the same name, developed and released
by Ubisoft Montreal.13 In this movie, there are some utterances describing context
and Illocutionary acts analysis. From the utterances, the writer is interested to
analyze context and Illocutionary acts of this movie. For example :
“ I didn’t kill my father. “
Based on the context, Dastan was accused of killing his father by his step brother
and his uncle. In fact, he didn‟t kill his father. The writer analyzes the
Illocutionary acts in Dastan‟s utterance is representative that he conveys his belief
that some proposition is true. Dastan asserts that he is not murderer of his father.
It is clear that the utterance is asserting.

CHAPTER II
THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK
A. Pragmatic
1. The Definition of Pragmatics
Pragmatics is concerned with the study of meaning communicated by
speaker and interpreted by a listener. It has consequently, more to do with the
analysis of what people mean by their utterances than what the words or phrases
in those utterances might mean by themselves.14 Therefore, Pragmatics is the
study of speaker meaning.15 Those aspect of the meaning of utterances which
cannot be accounted for by straightforward reference to the true conditions of the
sentence uttered.16
The advantage of studying language via pragmatics is that one can talk
about people‟s intended meanings, their assumptions, their purpose or goals, and
the kinds of action (for example, requests) that they are performing when they
speak.
This type of study necessarily involves the interpretation of what people
mean in particular context and how the context influence what is said. It requires a
consideration of how speakers organize what they want to say in accordance with
who they are talking to, where, when, and under what circumstances. Pragmatics

is study of contextual meaning.17 Pragmatic is study of just those aspects of the
relationship between language and context that are relevant to the writing and
grammars.18
2. Context
Context is background knowledge assumed to be shared by speaker and
hearer and which contributes to hearer‟s interpretation of what speaker means by
given utterance.19 Konteks mempengaruhi keserasian suatu bahasa. Dan hal-hal
di luar bahasa mempengaruhi pemahaman kita pada hal di dalam bahasa. Untuk
memahami apa yang terjadi di dalam sebuah percakapan, misalnya, kita perlu
mengetahui siapa saja yang terlibat di dalamnya, bagaimana hubungan dan jarak
social di antara mereka, atau status relative di antara mereka.20 Context affects
language aptitude. Things outside language affect our language comprehension.
To understand what happened in a conversation, we need to know anyone
involved inside, how the relationship and social distance between them, or the
relative status between them are.
It is another instance which refers to person or things : using proper
names, pronouns, articles and so on. A person named „John‟ is refered to as „John‟
only in his own, known context: a person named‟the policeman‟ is an officer we
know (or are supposed to know). Saying „John is the policeman‟ makes sense only

in a context where there is a person John whom I know by name and who happens
to be the policeman (or is assigned thet role in a play).21
Beside Context, Leech explains reference to one or more of the following
aspects of the speech situation will be a criterion.
(i) Addressers or addressees
Folllowing the practice of Searle and others, Leech shall refer to
addressers and addressees, as a matter of convenience, as s (speaker) and h
(hearer)
(ii) The context of an utterance
CONTEXT has been understood in various way, for example to include
relevant aspect of the physical or social setting of an utterance. Leech shall
consider context to be any background knowledge assumed to be shared
by s and h and which contributes to h’s interpretation of what s means by a
given utterance.
(iii)The goal(s) of an utterance
Leech shall often find it useful to talk of a goal or function of an utterance,
in preference to talking about its intended meaning, or s’s intention
uttering it.
(iv)The utterance as a form of act or activity : a speech act
Pragmatic deals with verbal acts or performances which take place in
particular situations, in time.
21
Jacob L. Mey. Pragmatics an Introduction. 2nd Ed . (Oxford : Blackwell Publishers
Inc.: 1996), pp. 39-40.
11
(v) The utterance as a product of verbal act
There is another sense in which the world utterance can be used in
pragmatics: it can refer to the product of a verbal act, rather than to the
verbal act itself. 22
From the above-mentioned elements of (i) addresser and addressee, (ii)
context, (iii) goals, (iv) illocutionary act, and (v) utterance, we can conclude that
aspect of speech situation is the important thing in speech act.
B. Speech Act
SPEECH ACT is the action or intent that a speaker accomplishes when
using language in context, the meaning of which is inferred by hearers. Example,
There is a bear behind you may be intended as a warning in certain contexts, or
may in other context merely be a statement of fact. 23
Austin developed his theory of speech acts. He made important
observation. Austin observed that there are ordinary language declarative
sentences that resist a truth-conditional analysis in similar fashion. The point of
uttering such sentences is not just to say things, but also actively to do things. In
other words, such utterances have both a descriptive and an affective aspect.
Accordingly, Austin called them performatives and he distinguised them from
assertions, or statement making utterances, which he called constatives. 24
22

12
Austin expressed that language can be used to perform actions through his
distinction between constantive and performative utterances. Constantive
utterances describe or report events and states of affairs in the world. As such,
they can be said to be true or false. However, performative utterances do not
describe or report or constate anything at all are not true or false and the uttering
of the sentence is, or is part of, doing of an action, which again would not
normally be described as, or as just saying something.25
Austin noticed that for a performative to be successful or „felicitous‟, it
must meet a set of conditions. Felicity conditions are conditions under which
words can be used properly to perform actions.26 Austin noticed that the rules that
have to be fulfilled in performative utterances are three : The persons and
circumstances must be appropriate, The act must be executed completely and
correctly by all participants and The participants must be the appropreriate
intentions.27
Austin concluded that constantives are nothing but a special class of
performatives, and that two-way distinction between performatives, as action-
performers, and constative, as truth-hearers, can no longer be maintained.
Consequently, Austin claimed that all utterances, in addition to meaning whatever
they mean, perform specific acts via the specific communicative force of an
utterance. Furthermore, he introduced threefold distiction among the act on
stimultaneously performs when saying something.28

1. Locutionary Act
Locutionary act is called by The act of saying something. According to
Austin, a locutionary act is roughly equivalent to uttering a certain sentence with a
certain sense and reference, which again is roughly equivalent to meaning in the
traditional sense. To the extent that a speaker who says „The dangerous dog is in
the garden” is producing a sentence the meaning of which is based on reference to
a particular dog and garden in the external world.29 This utterance is one of the
examples of locutionary act. Because, locutionary act just producing a sentence. If
an addresser says that utterance in the garden, an addressee gets a thought that he
has to be careful. In other occasion, if an addresser says it in the room, it would be
merely information. Therefore, this utterance include into locutionary act, because
the context is not clear.
2. Illocutionary Act
“ Tindak Ilokusi disebut dengan The Act of Doing something. Tindak
Ilokusi tidak hanya digunakan untuk menginformasikan sesuatu, tetapi melakukan
sesuatu sejauh situasi tuturnya dipertimbangkan secara seksama.“ 30 Illocutionary
act is called by The Act of Doing something. It is not only used for informing
something, but also doing something as far as speech event was accurate
considered.
Austin explained the performance of an act is the new and second sense as
the performance of an „illocutionary‟ act, i.e. performance of act in saying
29

Edinburgh University Press Ltd. 2005). p.7.

1996), p. 18.
14
something as opposed to performance of an act of saying something.31 The
Illocutionary Act carried out by a speaker meaning of an utterance is the act
viewed in terms of the utterance‟s significance within a conventional system of
social interaction.32 An illocutionary act refers to the type of function the speaker
intends to fullfil, or the type of action the speaker intends to accomplish in the
course of producing an utterance. It is an act accomplished in speaking. 33
Illocutions used in a further technical notion, that of felicity condition,
needs to be introduced in order to give plausible answer to this question. The
Felicity Condition of an Illocutionary act are conditions that must be fulfilled in
the situation in which the act is carried out if the acts is to be said to be carried out
properly, or felicity. Examples, one of the felicity conditions for the illocutionary
act of ordering is that the speaker must be superior to, or in authority over, the
hearer. Thus, if a servant says to the Queen “ Open the window”, there is a certain
incongruity, or anomalousness, or infelicity in the act ( of ordering) carried out,
but if the Queen says “ Open the Window” to the servant, there is no infelicity. 34
A felicity condition for the illocutionary act of accusing is that the deed or
property attributed to the accused is wrong in some way. Thus one can felicitously
accuse someone theft or murder, but normally only infelicitously of say, being a
nice guy, or of helping an old lady to cross the road.35

“Tindak ilokusi berkaitan dengan maksud si pembicara. Dengan kata lain,
setiap penutur mempunyai maksud tertentu lewat ujaran yang di ucapkannya.
Lewat ujaran yang dituturkannya, seseorang mungkin bermaksud bertanya,

36
memberi tahu, memberi janji, memberi peringatan, menyuruh.” Illocutionary
act is related to speaker‟s intention. In other words, every speaker has the
intention through their utterance. Through the utterance, everyone may intent to
asking, telling, promising, warning, and ordering.
An utterance can have more than one illocution, it is useful to introduce
the distinction between direct and indirect illocutions. Direct illocution of an
utterance is the illocution most directly indicated by a literal reading of the
grammatical form and vocabulary of the sentence uttered. While the Indirect
illocution of an utterance is any further illocution the utterance may have. 37 The
direct Illocution of “Can you pass the river?” is an enquiry about the hearer‟s
ability to pass the river. The indirect illocutions is request that the hearer pass the
river.
Example of illocutionary acts include accusing, apologizing, blaming,
congratulating, giving permission, joking, nagging, naming, promissing, ordering,

38
refusing, swearing and thanking. In example “I‟m very glad to you for all you
have done for me” performs the illocutionary act of thanking.39
Some illocutionary verbs are definable in terms of the intended
perlocutionary effect, some not. Thus requesting is, as a matter of its essential

condition, an attempt to get a hearer to do something, but promising is not
essentially tied to such effects on or responses from the hearer.40
3. Perlocutionary Act
This is the third dimension, the Perlocutionary act.41 Tindak Perlokusi
disebut dengan The Act of affecting something. 42 Perlocutionary act is called by
The Act of affecting something. Perlocutionary act concerns the effect an utterance
may have on the adressee. A Perlocution is the act by which the illocution
produces a certain effect in or exerts a certain influence of adressee. Still another
way to put it is that a perlocutionary act represents a consequence or by-product of
speaking, whether intentional or not. It is therefore an act performed by
speaking.43 Some perlocutionary acts are always the producing sequel of alerting
or even alarming.44
The contrasts between illocutions, perlocutions, and other speech act
categories have typically been ilustrated by lists of verbs and verb like
expressions, for example:
Illocutionary : report, announce, predict, admit, opine, ask, reprimand, request,
suggest, order, propose, express, congratulate, promise, thank, exhort.

Perlocutionary : bring hearer to learn that, persuade, deceive, encourage, irritate,
frighten, amuse, get hearer to do, inspire, impress, distract, get hearer to think
about, relieve tension, embarrass, attract attention,bore.45
The main difference between illocutions and perlocutions can be summed
up as follows. In the first place, illocutionary act are intended by speaker, while
perlocutionary effects are not always intended by him or her. Secondly ,
illocutionary acts are under the speaker‟s full control, while perlocutionary
effects are not under his or her full control. Thirdly, if illocutionary acts are
evident, they become evident as the utterance is made, while perlocutionary
effects are usually not evident until after the utterance has been made. Fourthly,
illocutionary acts are in principle determinate, while perlocutionary effects are
often under determinate. Finally, illocutionary acts are more, while perlocutionary
effects are less conventionally tied to linguistic forms.46
C. Classification of Illocutionary Act
In studying speech act verbs, we shall find useful the distinctions which
Austin, Searle and others have made in their classification of speech act
themselves. Difference between talking about speech act and talking about speech
act verbs is, of course, that the distinctions which are non-categorical or scalar in
the former case are categorical in the latter case. As Searle says “ Differences in
45
Geoffrey N. Leech (1983 ), op. cit.. p. 203.
46
Yan Huang (2005), op. cit. pp. 103-104.
18
illocutionary verbs are good guide, but by no means a sure guide, to differences in
illocutionary acts.47
In John Searle (1977) article Classification of Illocutionary acts, Searle
states the following : “ The primary purpose of this paper is to develop a reasoned
classification of Ilocutionary acts into certain basic categories or types”. In saying
this, Searle takes the exception to Austin‟s original classification into verdictive,
expositive, exercitive, behavities and commisive acts.
1. Verdictives, are typified by the giving of a verdict, as the nama implies, by
a jury, arbitrator, or umpire. But they need not be final, they may be, for an
example, an estimate, reckoning, or appraisal.
2. Exercitives, are the exercising of powers, rights or influence. Examples are
appointing, voting, ordering, urging, advising, warning, etc.
3. Commissives, are typified by promising or otherwise undertaking, they
commit you to doing something, but include also declarations or
announcements of intention.
4. Behavities, are a very miscellaneous group, and have to do with attitudes
and social behaviour. Examples are apologizing, congratulating,
commending, condoling, cursing, and challenging.
5. Expositive, they make plain how our utterances fit into the course of an
argumrnt or conversation, how we are using words, or in general, are
47
Geoffrey N. Leech (1983 ), op. cit. pp. 315-316.
19
expository. Examples are „I reply‟, „I argue‟, „I concede‟, „I illustrate‟, „I
assume‟, „I postulate‟. 48
Among other things, Searle criticize Austion for operating with
overlapping criteria, for categories that do not satisfy the definition of the
category, and so on.49
The five types of speech act are further explained below.
1. Representatives are those kinds of speech act that commit the speaker to truth
of the expressed proposition, and thus carry a truth-value. They express the
speaker‟s belief. Paradigmatic cases include asserting, claiming, concluding,
reporting and stating. In performing this type of speech act, the speaker
represents the world as he or she believes it is, thus making the world fit ot the
world to belief. When Sam told you, “ It‟s raining out”, he was trying to get
him to think he believed it was raining out.
2. Directives are those kinds of speech act that represent attempts by the speaker
to get the addressee to do something. They express the speaker‟s desire/wish
for the addressee to do something. Paradigmatic cases include advice,
commands, orders, questions and requests. In using directive, the speaker
intends to elicit some future course of action on the part of the addressee, thus
making the world match the world via the addressee.
3. Commissives are those kinds of speech act that commit the speaker to some
future course of action. They express the speaker‟s intention to do something.
Paradigmatic cases include offers, pledges, promises, refusals, and thrests. In
48
J. L Austin (1962), op. cit. pp. 150-151.
49
Jacob L. Mey (1996 ), op. cit. p. 117.
20
the case of a commissives, the world is adapted to the words via the speaker
him- or herself.
4. Expressives are those kinds of speech act that express a psychological attitude
or state in the speaker such as joy, sorrow and likes/dislikes. Paradigmatic
cases include apologizing, blaming, congratulating, praising, and thanking.
This type of speech act, in performing the act of an expressive, the speaker
makes known what he or she feels, thus rendering the world to fit the world of
feeling. 50
5. Declarations ( or Declarative ) are those kinds of speech act that effect
immediate changes in some current state of affairs. Because they tend to rely
on elaborate extralinguistic institutions for their successful performance, they
may be called institutionalized performatives. In performing this type of
speech act, the speaker brings about the changes in the world; that is he or she
effects a correspondence between the propositional content and the world.
Paradigmatic cases include bidding in bridge, declaring war,
excommunicating, firing from employment, and nominating a candidate. 51

CHAPTER IV
CONCLUSION AND SUGGESTION
A. Conclusion
As closing of this research, the writer is going to take conclusion as
follows:
The study of language could not be done without considering aspects of
the speech situation. In this reseach, the writer analyzes the context as one of
aspect of the speech situations which is significant thing in pragmatics study. The
context is so influential to describe the situation where illocutionary act of
utterances occur. The writer analyzes context of the situation as background
knowledge to assume the utterances shared by Dastan as a speaker and his partner
as hearer. His partner contributes interpretation of what he means by giving the
utterance in Prince of Persia : The Sand of Time movie.
The writer has found and analyzed seventeen data in the utterances of
Dastan as main character and his partners in Prince of Persia : The Sand of Time
movie that classified Illocutionary Acts theory by John Searle. Such as,
Representative, Directive, Commissive, Expressive and Declarative.
From the data analysis of chapter three, the writer classified Illocutionary
Acts that occur in Dastan‟s utterances in five scenes. They are Representantive
(reporting, stating, and concluding), Directive (ordering, asking, requesting, and
command), Expressive (praising and appologizing), Commissive (refusal and
pledging), and Declarative (declaring).
48
49
B. Suggestion
From the conclusion above the writer proposes to explain how
Illocutionary acts occur in the utterance of Prince of Persia : The Sand of Time
movie based on the context. Consequently for the readers who want to analyze the
illocutionary act of the film, they should require their analysis with the context of
situation because it is significant in studying speech acts. Then for the other
researchers who are interested in Pragmatics study, not only movie but also the
other media such as newspaper, TV, radio which can also be the object of other
pragmatic study analysis. It is the other acts besides an illocutionary act, such as
locutionary and and perlocutionary act or other pragmatics study.
Based on this study, the writer hopes to the reader or other researcher that
this study will be usefull for future improvement of Pragmatic study, basically
Illocutionary Acts theory used in the movie, especially in the Adab and
Humanities Faculty, State Islamic University Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta.

00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:51,120 00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:20,720

00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:57,200 00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:23,600
Perhaps we could find What is this?

256
246 00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:28,765
00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:35,400 Incredible.
Well, the solution would be
to kiss me, and then kill me. 257
00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:33,520
247 Releasing the sand,
00:29:35,435 --> 00:29:38,000 sends back time.

248 00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:38,800
00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:40,600 And only the holder

happened.
249
00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:50,400 259

What you intend to do with her? - If the Dagger gets into the wrong
hands....
351 - I'll take care of your knife.
00:37:58,600 --> 00:38:02,480
Yes, do tell him. 360
Can't you see how concerned he is? 00:38:37,295 --> 00:38:41,965
- You won't want to miss this.
352 - You don't understand what's at
00:38:03,200 --> 00:38:05,520 stake!
- Give me a moment.
- Yeah. 361
00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:46,000
353 - This is the matter for the gods, not
00:38:07,520 --> 00:38:11,280 man!
It's hard for me to admit, - Your gods, not mine. Come on!
but you were right.
354
00:38:13,800 --> 00:38:18,200 SCENE 13
- I did see what I was looking for.
- Dastan, listen to me. 589
01:04:25,280 --> 01:04:27,280
355 Persian!
00:38:18,480 --> 00:38:22,480
When my uncle sees the power 590
of this Dagger, he'll believe me. 01:04:27,320 --> 01:04:32,480
We crossed under certain rush
356 circumstances,
00:38:22,520 --> 00:38:26,165 I didn't get a chance to say goodbye.
Dastan, I know. I haven't been
entirely honest with you. 591
01:04:33,520 --> 01:04:35,885
58
We've been tracking you for a week. 601

01:05:14,000 --> 01:05:16,480
592 Look at this poor thing.
01:04:35,920 --> 01:04:39,600
That little riot you started,
ran off for two days! 602
01:05:16,520 --> 01:05:20,420
593 She used to be a grand champion,
01:04:40,720 --> 01:04:45,800 and now I have to watch her
My beloved race track,
all washed away like the footprints in 603
sand. 01:05:20,455 --> 01:05:24,320
night and day to make sure that
594 she doesn't do anything stupid.
01:04:45,835 --> 01:04:47,965
See it over there... 604
Look at that? 01:05:29,520 --> 01:05:33,160
Suddenly occurred to me, that the
595 only way
01:04:48,000 --> 01:04:50,080 to recoup my tragic losses,
She's all that's left
of my gaming empire. 605
01:05:33,195 --> 01:05:36,765
596 was to track down the two young
01:04:50,120 --> 01:04:53,280 lovers
And no matter who cast this dark cloud upon me.
your skills as a promoter,
606
597 01:05:36,800 --> 01:05:42,000
01:04:53,320 --> 01:04:58,320 Oh yes, I'm gonna need the prize on
you can't organize an ostrich race your head,
with just one ostrich! your brother will be very pleased to
see...
598
01:04:58,355 --> 01:05:00,685 607
Am I right?! 01:05:45,400 --> 01:05:47,880
The sand dervishes Persian,
599 they are common as camel dirt...
01:05:00,720 --> 01:05:03,800
Yes sir, come with me. 608
01:05:47,881 --> 01:05:49,480
600 Sheik Amar, listen to me...!
01:05:09,520 --> 01:05:13,120
Did you know that the ostriches 609
have suicidal tendencies? 01:05:50,080 --> 01:05:52,965
- I'd rather not.
59
- Nice knife. 619

01:07:51,520 --> 01:07:55,280
610 - What happened last night?
01:05:53,000 --> 01:05:55,965 - Those vipers were controlled by
Noble Sheik, we are on the Hassansins.
sacred journey to the temple...
620
611 01:07:55,320 --> 01:07:57,485
01:05:56,000 --> 01:06:00,000 - Hassansins?
Temple, the temple, there is nothing - For years they were the cover
more sacred than Persian's gold.
621
612 01:07:57,520 --> 01:08:00,320
01:06:46,000 --> 01:06:48,320 killing force of the Persian kings,
Give me the Dagger, for my father ordered them
there are too many of them. disbanded.
613 622
01:06:50,320 --> 01:06:53,000 01:08:00,355 --> 01:08:04,480
You can't kill them all, Nizam must've disobeyed my father's
you wanna live, give me the orders
Dagger!! and kept them intact.
614 623
01:07:11,800 --> 01:07:14,200 01:08:04,520 --> 01:08:07,900
Give me the Dagger! The secret government killing
activity,
615 that's why I don't pay taxes.
01:07:27,000 --> 01:07:30,080
Persian, how did you do that? 624
01:08:07,935 --> 01:08:11,280
616 - We can't stop.
01:07:32,480 --> 01:07:34,720 - Oh perhaps you can't, but we can.
Instinct.
625
617 01:08:11,320 --> 01:08:14,320
01:07:36,200 --> 01:07:38,400 We could use your help
What? getting to the temple.
618 626
01:07:46,720 --> 01:07:49,520 01:08:14,355 --> 01:08:16,685
We have to get out of here. Hah, by crossing the Hindu Kush
with the storm blowing?
SCENE 14 627
01:08:16,720 --> 01:08:19,920
60
You attract troubles like flies around 637

rotting mango and your insane... 01:09:49,720 --> 01:09:52,800
Don't cut yourself, princess.
628
01:08:19,921 --> 01:08:21,920 638
There's gold at the temple. 01:09:57,520 --> 01:09:59,520
Hey, here!
629
01:08:21,955 --> 01:08:24,600 639
More than ten horses can carry. 01:10:02,080 --> 01:10:05,920
Not long dead, last night maybe.
630 Tortured first.
01:08:24,635 --> 01:08:27,800
- Tax free. 640
- Sir! 01:10:05,955 --> 01:10:09,520
- Hassansin.
631 - Nizam knows this place.
01:08:56,000 --> 01:09:00,800
- Do you have any idea where you're 641
going? 01:10:09,555 --> 01:10:12,280
- I memorized this path as a child. All dead.
632 642
01:09:00,835 --> 01:09:04,800 01:10:14,480 --> 01:10:16,600
Every princess must, it's sacred. - The entire village, about my gold...
- Where are you going?!
633
01:09:07,280 --> 01:09:10,200 643
It's here. 01:10:17,120 --> 01:10:19,085
- There is only one way to stop all of
634 this.
01:09:17,120 --> 01:09:21,520 - What?!
The sanctuary, the one place the
Dagger 644
can be hidden safely. 01:10:19,120 --> 01:10:22,720
To make sure the Dagger is safe,
635 the temple holds the stone the
01:09:21,555 --> 01:09:25,120 Dagger came from.
I was expecting golden statues,
waterfalls. 645
01:10:22,755 --> 01:10:24,965
636 What temple? this is
01:09:28,800 --> 01:09:33,120 a pile of stones and rocks!
Give me back the Dagger, so that
I can take it there. 646
01:10:25,000 --> 01:10:27,900
61
The first thing we learned, if all this 655

fails. 01:11:16,320 --> 01:11:18,800
Put the Dagger back into the stone, - You always thought you are so
clever.
647 - This is no trick, Garsiv.
01:10:27,901 --> 01:10:32,800
the stone will then benefit, pulling it 656
into the mountain, returning to the 01:11:18,835 --> 01:11:23,200
gods. Sir, all dead inside Sir,
more in the village.
648
01:10:40,000 --> 01:10:47,365 657
- The original promise, must be paid. 01:11:23,235 --> 01:11:25,920
- What promise? - There is only one way...
- Stay there!
649
01:10:47,400 --> 01:10:51,120 658
The gods must take back 01:11:30,000 --> 01:11:32,640
the life they spared. Nizam wants me dead,
wants me silenced.
650
01:10:51,720 --> 01:10:53,920 659
You'll die. 01:11:32,675 --> 01:11:35,280
A trial will be too public.
651
01:11:03,200 --> 01:11:06,000 660
- Stay there! 01:11:39,280 --> 01:11:41,765
- Listen to me! Do you know this?
He said that much, didn't he?
652
01:11:07,200 --> 01:11:10,565 661
Give me your sword, give me your 01:11:41,800 --> 01:11:45,280
sword, I know it hasn't been easy
you'll never be taking that honor. between us Garsiv, but still...
653 662
01:11:10,600 --> 01:11:13,520 01:11:45,600 --> 01:11:46,880
There are bodies down there, we are brothers.
murdered by Hassansins, on Nizam's
order! 663
01:11:46,881 --> 01:11:48,880
654 Touching words
01:11:13,555 --> 01:11:16,280 with my sword at your throat.
- He's the traitor!
- Hassansins no longer exist! 664
01:11:48,920 --> 01:11:51,965
62
You've often questioned why 01:12:23,435 --> 01:12:26,480

father has been so much time in and who I might tell.
prayer.
674
665 01:12:29,720 --> 01:12:32,480
01:11:52,000 --> 01:11:52,991 Tell me, brother.
Before he died,
he told me that the bond
666 SCENE 15
01:11:52,992 --> 01:11:56,000
between brothers 675
is the sword that defends our empire. 01:12:34,800 --> 01:12:36,800
Garsiv?
667
01:11:56,035 --> 01:11:58,480 676
He was praying that 01:12:40,800 --> 01:12:42,800
that sword remains strong. My Garsiv?
668 677
01:11:58,520 --> 01:12:02,480 01:12:46,600 --> 01:12:49,000
Why would I go into Avrat for Hassansins!
father's
funeral, when I knew it was so 678
dangerous? 01:13:06,480 --> 01:13:08,480
Shut up!
669
01:12:10,280 --> 01:12:12,280 679
Nizam recommended your death, 01:13:20,000 --> 01:13:22,080
Protect the Dagger!
670
01:12:12,320 --> 01:12:14,965 680
Tus disagreed, ordered 01:13:37,800 --> 01:13:39,920
you brought back alive. Persian, behind you!
671 681
01:12:15,000 --> 01:12:20,000 01:13:49,800 --> 01:13:52,480
Nizam wants me dead, and he's hired Tamina!
Hassansins to make sure that does
happen. 682
01:13:52,520 --> 01:13:55,520
672 Forget them, throw these!
01:12:20,035 --> 01:12:23,400
He's afraid of what I might say, 683
01:13:55,555 --> 01:13:58,280
673 Find her!
63
01:16:07,800 --> 01:16:10,280

684 Dastan, I'm sorry.
01:14:05,520 --> 01:14:07,765
Hey! Over here! 695
01:16:13,200 --> 01:16:16,400
685 Save the empire.
01:14:07,800 --> 01:14:10,600
You know what they say about men 696
with big swords! 01:16:18,080 --> 01:16:21,280
Brother... Brother.
686
01:14:24,000 --> 01:14:26,600 697
Tamina, let me do it. 01:16:25,200 --> 01:16:29,280
- Where is the Dagger?
687 - It's gone.
01:14:27,520 --> 01:14:30,620
Only a guardian can return the 698
Dagger. 01:16:30,480 --> 01:16:35,280
Protect the Dagger, no matter the
688 consequences, that was my sacred
01:14:30,655 --> 01:14:33,720 calling.
This isn't something you can do,
Dastan. 699
01:16:35,720 --> 01:16:38,600
689 That was my destiny.
01:14:34,800 --> 01:14:38,400
I'm ready for this. 700
01:16:43,600 --> 01:16:47,000
We make our own destiny, princess.
690
01:14:38,435 --> 01:14:41,520 701
I'm not. 01:16:47,035 --> 01:16:49,600
We'll get it back.
691
01:14:54,000 --> 01:14:56,000 SCENE 18
Tamina!
798
692 01:28:34,800 --> 01:28:36,765
01:15:45,000 --> 01:15:47,800 Pulley.
Out, enough, out!
799
693 01:28:36,800 --> 01:28:39,280
01:16:05,520 --> 01:16:07,520 Get pulley, now!
Garsiv!
800
694 01:28:42,200 --> 01:28:46,200

The guardians built passageways 01:33:04,480 --> 01:33:08,200

Sandglass.
811
801 01:33:08,235 --> 01:33:10,480
01:28:46,235 --> 01:28:48,800 And my curse.
If we move fast enough,
we can get there before Nizam. 812
01:33:12,480 --> 01:33:15,200
802 I looked up to you.
01:29:14,000 --> 01:29:17,120
That would be the stand 813
to the Sandglass chamber. 01:33:16,720 --> 01:33:17,800
Dastan!
803
01:29:17,155 --> 01:29:20,080 814
There is only one safe path. 01:33:17,820 --> 01:33:22,200
I never understood, why
804 my brother brought trash into the
01:29:20,320 --> 01:29:23,400 palace.
Faster!
815
805 01:33:22,235 --> 01:33:24,685
01:29:40,000 --> 01:29:42,720 Enjoy the gutter, Dastan.
Follow in my footsteps.
816
806 01:33:24,720 --> 01:33:27,680
01:29:44,600 --> 01:29:48,320 It's where you stay under my reign.
Nothing can touch the surface,
other than where I step. 817
01:33:37,200 --> 01:33:39,280
807 Tamina!
01:30:08,800 --> 01:30:10,800
Run, Dastan! 818
Run! 01:33:39,680 --> 01:33:42,880
Nizam, don't use the Dagger
808 to undo your past!
01:30:20,320 --> 01:30:22,480
Dastan! 819
01:33:42,920 --> 01:33:45,560
809 - It will unleash...
01:33:00,480 --> 01:33:02,480 - Unleash, what?!
Nizam!
820
810 01:33:45,595 --> 01:33:48,200
65
Gods' wrath?! - Dastan!

Hell itself?! - No! Tamina!
821 828
01:33:52,400 --> 01:33:55,200 01:35:07,120 --> 01:35:11,620
Don't do this! - Dastan!
- Tamina!
822
01:34:08,480 --> 01:34:11,600 829
Stop him! If the glass 01:36:23,000 --> 01:36:25,000
shatters, the world dies with it. Prince, Dastan!
823 830
01:34:13,000 --> 01:34:17,600 01:36:26,480 --> 01:36:30,080
It's not my destiny, it's yours. - Bis, you're here?
It always has been. - Of course I'm here.
824 831
01:34:17,635 --> 01:34:20,165 01:36:30,480 --> 01:36:34,000
- Let me go. Our men surrounded Alamut's
- I won't. palace,
battle is over.
825
01:34:20,200 --> 01:34:23,280 832
- Let me go. 01:36:34,035 --> 01:36:36,320
- I'm not letting you go! Not yet.
826
01:34:23,320 --> 01:34:27,280
I wish we could have been together.
