- For thousands of years, shamans have crossed
over to the hereafter, the netherworld
to find and heal the souls of people.
But at the dawn of the 23rd century
they turn from healers
into mankind's most deadly weapon.

- [Man] Don't worry. Everything will be fine
the Shaman's here now.
- [Woman] When I'm dead, will I be going to the netherworld?
- Yeah, we're all going there.
- Have you been there?
- No. Not me, but my boss has been there many times.
(blood curdling scream)
- [Woman] The Shamans go there to kill the machines
don't they?
- Not the machine, but it's soul.
- Do all machines have a soul?
- Yes. Every object and every being in this world
has a soul.
The good ones, we can convert. The bad ones, we destroy.
(wind rushes)
- [Woman] Does the Shaman cry sometimes?
- (chuckle) No. The Shaman never cries.
If he ever did, he wouldn't be ashamed anymore.
- Get out of the way.

- [Man] The enemy Battle Colossus is taking a position
on the other side of the plane.
We've thrown everything we have against it.
We've lost nearly 2000 men so far.
That's all the information we could gather about it.
- [Man] We're going to need a mobile shoot by unit with us.
My Shaman has to come as close as possible to the target.
Before he transits to the nether world.
- [Man] She fires loud in five to six minutes max
against this monster.
- That is all I need.
(chair shuffles)
- [Man] I always wondered what you guys see
over there in the netherworld.
Must be pretty weird I guess.
(suspenseful inhale)
(footsteps)
(cards shuffling)
- [Man] It's an A type personality. Narcissistic.
Probably prone to falling for a mere due flattery.
Who tends to over intellectualize.
Also tries too hard to understand.
Believes the manipulators reason for everything he says
or does. That's how you can trick it.
- [Shaman] What is wrong with you?
- What?
- You worry about me.
- I worry about your leaked profile.
If the machine knows about you, it'll try to manipulate you.
(soft emphatic music begins)
In all the years I've known you
I've never heard you talk about your family, your parents.
Is there anything I should know?
Can you hear me Joshua?
- I can hear you. Do not worry.
- I love you my Lord. I would not want to lose you.
Not to such a pile of bloody scrap.
(whirring and hushed whispers)
(music swells) (words over PA system)
(footsteps) (weapons clanking)
- [Shaman] I am alone. If there is a God
Why is he not showing his face to me?
I would look at him and I would smile.
(somber string music)
- Once I have crossed over, do not fail me.
- [Men] Yes shaman.
- Shaman risks his life for you.
And you risk yours for him.
- [Shaman] (foreign language) Second suite chapter four.
- That's too short, the piece is only four minutes long.
- That is how I will break it.
Trust me.
- I always trust you, my Lord.

- (internally) In all the years I've known you
I've never heard you talk about your family, your parents.
Is there anything I should know?
- (whispered) Who is this? Don't you see him?
Who is he? He maybe just came here.
If she see's him she will kill him for sure.
(whispers echo)
He's not from here.
He walked straight into her trap.
(high heels clomp) (echos continue)
He has no chance. You will never get out of here.
(low humming)
(echos crescendo)
(whispered) We will watch him die.
(Loud crashing) (Violin resumes)
(whispers continue)
(hourglass slams)
- (whispered) He's dangerous. Take his life.
- [Woman] Who are you?
- [Shaman] You look wonderful.
You were far more beautiful than I expected.
You remind me of someone.
- Who is that?
- (internally) Seduction. Use charm in order to lower
the target's defenses.
- [Shaman] She was my friend.
I was in love with her, yet she never loved me.
- [Woman] Do you know who I am?
(whispers continue)
- [Shaman] Of course, you are the great battle Colossus.
(whispers echo shaman)
- [Colossus] It's a beautiful day today, isn't it?
- [Shaman] (internally) Diversion.
Target tries to steer the conversation onto another topic.
- I wish it could last forever.
Time is so short. (whispers repeat)
Isn't it?
- [Colossus] They increase the price for fruit
but you should never freeze strawberries
as they don't like it.
- [Shaman] (internally) Evasion.
Target gives irrelevant responses
in order to evade the manipulation.
(tea pours) (china clinks)
- [Colossus] I know why you're here.
You're not a soul like the rest of us.
You're a shaman. (whispers continue)
But you will not succeed.
- (whispered) She has seen men like you.
- I've seen men like you.
I've destroyed them.
- Good. Then you know why I am here.
- You come here to cheat me.
(loud crashing and firing)
- [Colossus] Oh, by the way, I saw your father.
I know about your parents and the way they died.
It was a beautiful day like today.
Your mother was making dinner.
Your father was working from home.
That day, you returned to your hometown.
You went to your parents' house.
You locked all the doors.
Then you set the house on fire.
They looked at you through the window while they burned
to death.
That must have been terrible.
- No was an accident.
- No. - It was an accident!
- [Colossus] No, that was a choice you made.
Part of the shame and education to
show your total determination towards your new life.
That was a choice you made.
- No, I never chose.
- [Colossus] Couldn't you just have told them to leave?
Disappear? But you choose to obey the order.
So tell me shaman, why?
Why?
(loud booming and crashing)
(men yelling)
(violin continues)
- [Man] Joshua I won't let you die!
(music calms) (footsteps)
(Shaman yelling)
(battle intensifying)
- [Man] Don't. Just do this thing and come back.
Just do it like what you've been here.
(intense bright music)
(heavy breathing)
- [Man] Come on! Come on! Come on!
- (internally) It tends to over intellectualize.
Tries too hard to understand.
Believes the manipulators reason
for everything he says or does.
That's how you can trick it.
(sniffling)
(foreboding music)
(footsteps)
- [Colossus] Oh, you're back.
Your favorite dish is ready.
(Shaman laughing)
What's so funny.
- (Shaman chuckles)
- What is funny?
- [Shaman] You believe the story about my parents.
What a simple minded fool you are.
They're alive.
- No, they're dead. It's in your file.
You killed them.
- You said yourself, I cannot be trusted.
We fake my file and pass it onto your intelligence.
It will take me only one more minute to finish this here.
- You're lying.
- Listen. Do you hear the music?
(Violin crescendos)
Perhaps you are familiar with it.
It's certainly not my favorite, but it is four minutes long
which is precisely why I chose it.
So tell me, machine
why would I choose a piece that is only four minutes long?
Why?
Why?!
Because I knew would take me no longer than
four minutes to end you. (bread crumbles)
(spits) (intense music drops)
- You are dead fucker.
(creaking and rattling)
(music swells)
- I am your servant. I will do as you say.
Please, please don't kill me.
- Then turn against your God
and your commanders and support our troops in the battle.
(house crumbling)
(glass breaking)
(deep resonating boom)
(high pitched scream)
(yelling and moaning)
(metal creaking)
- [Shaman] I killed him. I killed him.
