:25:20
Up here.
:25:22
- Alberich.
- Lord Hagen.
:25:25
I see you have not changed.
:25:28
Nor have you.
:25:30
I got your message.
What is it you want now?
:25:33
Fafnir the dragon is awake.
:25:35
You must convince King Gunther to
gather his best warriors and kill Fafnir.
:25:41
Why would I put their lives at risk, and
mine? I don't care about the dragon.
:25:46
You wouldn't say that if you knew
what was hidden in his cave.
:25:49
Go on.
:25:51
The ancient treasure hoard
of the Nibelungs.
:25:59
You've been babbling about that...
:26:02
...ever since they cast you out
for trying to thieve it.
:26:05
Now you want me to believe
the hoard is here?
:26:07
The dragon was sleeping on it.
:26:10
So you've wasted years
of the mortal life they cursed you with...
:26:13
...and the treasure was under
your nose the whole while.
:26:17
That's funny.
:26:19
You won't laugh so hard
when you've seen it.
:26:22
You've never dreamed of
such a hoard of gold and jewels.
:26:28
Why would I help you and not keep
the whole hoard for myself?
:26:31
We know each other too well,
you and I.
:26:35
Some of my blood courses
through your veins.
:26:37
Enough. Don't ever dare
to speak of it.
:26:40
You know it's true.
:26:42
Hold your tongue!
:26:44
I know that you're ashamed
of where you come from.
:26:48
But remember how many times
I've helped you with my magic.
:26:54
We could help each other now.
:26:57
Very well. I'll choose
the best of the king's men.
