The Chronicles of Riddick

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!

- - Toombs!

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.

Three meters clearance port-side. One and a half meters starboard.

We got a choke point comin' up.

- -

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.

- -

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.

- What's the bounty on my head? - One mil.

- One-point-five. - What slam pays 1 .5 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?

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.

Bad for them.

So now it's back to all the brightness... and everything I hate.

Wonder if she'll be there.

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.

- -

- -

Get in there!

Can we shut the goddamn noise?

They say most of your brain shuts down in cryosleep.

Brain shuts down in cryosleep.

- All but the primitive side. - All but the primitive side.

The animal side.

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.

- - Helion Prime is on alert condition four.

Unrecognized craft. You need to follow me to Spaceport Six for security inspections.

Hey!Do you hear me?

Follow me to Spaceport Six now!

Imam, pray for us.

It was confirmed two seasons back. Yes.

They're coming here. I mean, are we next?

Militants storm--

Yes. But going to the underground shelters if it happens--

You're right. That's what I thought too.

Are you staying or leaving?

It's the end of everything. Everything!

Well, my neighbors-- Half my street is gone.

What are we gonna do? I don't know. I don't know.

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.

So tall that it touches the clouds.

And there's nothing around this statue, this colossus. Nothing left.

It's their calling card.

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!

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. 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?

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.

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 33 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. -

Open up in there!

- 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.

Break it down!

Get him!

Come. Let us try to send them away.

Move it. Come on. Leave us alone!

There is no one here!

You don't understand. He can help us! He can help us!

Go!

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

- -

- Get him! - Where is he?

In there!

You mentioned her.
