Ship (Present)
Prince: This storm shows us no mercy! We shall respond in kind! Reef the mainsail!
Bring us closer to the wind.
Ready your weapons!
Shahdee: Kill him.
Shahdee: You will never reach our shores alive!
Prince: For your sake, you▓d better hope I don▓t.
Prince: You bitch!
Shahdee: It seems the Empress overestimated your abilities!
Prince: The Empress?
Mystic Old man
Old man: The Island of Time┘ The place where the Sands were created. The place from which the Maharaja stole the Hourglass.
Prince: And what if I could reach this Island?
Old man: They say the Maharaja found portals there, where one could pass backwards through time.
Prince: Back through time┘To the birthplace of the Sands┘Something terrible happened when our army traveled to the Maharaja▓s palace.
Old man: You found the Sands of Time┘
Prince: Worse! I opened them.
Old man: Whosoever shall open the Sands must die┘
Prince: I was forced to kill those I fought beside, those I had loved.
Old man: But now an unstoppable beast chases you┘
Prince: For the first time in my life, I am afraid.
Old man: And you will die.
Prince: I used the Sands themselves to reverse time, making it as if the Hourglass was never opened.
Old man: The beast, the Dahaka is the guardian of the Timeline. You were supposed to die, so it will catch you and see to it that you meet your fate.
Prince: It is better to try than to wait here for death.
Old man: Madness! Even if you manage to reach the Island, you▓ll still have to face the Empress of Time!
Prince: I will travel back in time, and prevent the Sands from ever being made. If there are no Sands, the Dahaka will have no quarrel with me!
Old man: Go then, my Prince. But know this: your journey will not end well. You cannot change your fate┘ No man can.
Beach (Present)
Prince: My swords┘gone.
Fortress Entrance (Present)
Prince: Come on, I know you▓re out there┘ Show yourself! Where I come from we face our opponents┘ And if our enemy is unarmed, we offer them a sword.
Shahdee: KILL HIM!
Portal (Present)
Prince: Madness! What magic is this?!
Southern Passage (Past)
Prince: I▓d best find that woman┘ She▓s probably gone for reinforcements!
Sacrificial Altar (Past)
Kaileena: You. Help me!
Prince: It is as they say: ⌠The enemy of my enemy is my friend■.
Leave her alone! You and I have unfinished business.
Prince: Wait! Please┘ I must speak with you.
Kaileena: What do you want from me?
Prince: I seek an audience with the Empress.
Kaileena: The Empress meets with no one. Who do you think you are?
Prince: I am the Prince of Persia!
Kaileena: I see. Today is a very important day┘ She cannot be disturbed.
Prince: I don▓t think you understand how important this is.
Shahdee: Fool! Don▓t you know┘You cannot change your fate!
Prince: ⌠You cannot change your fate■┘ Was she speaking to me? How could she know my mission?
WATCH OUT!
Stay there! I will find my way to you.
Kaileena: No, Prince! Leave this place and never return. The Empress has no love for the world of men. She will kill you if she learns of your presence.
Southern Passage (Present)
Prince: The Dahaka! It has found me here.
Portal (Present)
Prince: What▓s this? It cannot cross the water┘ This is certain to come in handy.
Fortress Entrance (Past)
Prince: What kind of beast is this?
Hourglass Chamber (Past)
Kaileena: This is a dangerous place. You should not have come back.
Prince: I don▓t have the┘ luxury. I must see the Empress.
Kaileena: Impossible.
Prince: My mission┘ It is very urgent. I must see her.
Kaileena: You don▓t understand. When the last grain falls from this Hourglass┘the Empress will create the Sands of Time. No business of yours could be more important than that.
Prince: I have come to stop the Empress from creating the Sands.
Kaileena: Then yours is a fool▓s errand. The creation of the Sands was foretold in the Timeline.
It cannot be stopped.
Prince: I just saved your life. Twice. All I▓m asking for is some information. Tell me where the Sands will be created.
Kaileena: In there┘ But the room has been sealed. You cannot enter.
Prince: There must be a way.
Kaileena: Hah! You▓d have to undo the very fortifications of the Castle, an impossible task.
Prince: When a man is faced with his own death, he finds the impossible less of a barrier. Tell me how.
Kaileena: Very well. The gate is controlled by an elaborate clockwork system located inside the Mechanical Tower. Even assuming you can reach the device and activate it, the machine still needs power. As water passes through the moat, the machine will receive power. But first, you▓ll have to fill the moat from the supply in the Garden Tower. Activate both Towers and the door will open┘ You▓ll need this. It▓s more than just a weapon┘ It also serves to activate a system of bridges which will grant you access to the other towers. It won▓t make a difference, though┘
Prince: What do you mean?
Kaileena: Succeed or fail √ the outcome is the same. You will not stop the Sands from being created. What is written in the Timeline cannot be changed.
Prince: Thanks for the┘advice.
Garden Hall (Past)
Prince: So Babylon is not the only place to discover the wonders of hanging gardens. Ours, however, do not provide sanctuary to monsters!
Garden Waterworks (Present)
Prince: I▓ve found the right place┘But at the wrong time. I▓ll need to return to the Past if I want to activate this Tower!
Central Hall (Past)
Kaileena: Oh┘it▓s you.
Prince: You seem surprised to see me┘
Kaileena: Surprised only that you insist on prolonging the inevitable.
Prince: Why┘ did you help me?
Kaileena: I┘ don▓t know. I guess half because you remind me of the Empress, or who I wish she could be┘
Prince: What do you mean?
Kaileena: Like you, she knows her own fate she▓s seen it in the Timeline. But where you fight it, she has submitted. She accepts it. They say knowledge is power┘ But I say it is a poison. Knowing the date and manner of her own death torments her. The closer it draws, the greater her pain.
Prince: And you wish she would fight her fate, like me?
Kaileena: Maybe it would give her something to live for.
Prince: You said that was only half the reason. What is the other half?
Kaileena: I have known my whole life that what is written in the Timeline cannot be changed. Yet something inside me wants you to succeed.
Prince: And do you think I will?
Kaileena: No. But I admire you for trying.
Prince: Thank you┘ Your name┘ I haven▓t even asked your name. I▓ve been so┘
Kaileena: It▓s Kaileena. You should go┘ The Hourglass is more than half empty┘ You haven▓t much time.
Mechanical Pit (Past)
Prince: What do you want from me?!
Activation room (Present)
Prince: This machine┘ It must activate the Mechanical Tower. I need to find a portal┘ And hope that whatever disaster befell this place has not yet come to pass!
Activation room (Past)
Prince: Excellent. It seems to be in much better condition this time around┘ Now how do I get it working?
Prince: I fear my time runs short. While I rush about activating Towers, no doubt the Empress is busy creating the Sands!
Central Hall (Past)
Prince: The Dahaka! It has learned to find me in the Past! I don▓t have time for this!!
Hourglass Chamber (Past)
Prince: Time is running low. You ready? I▓ve been thinking, Kaileena┘ There is little for you on this Island, and there will be less still once I▓ve stood before your mistress. Come with me to Babylon! You▓ll have a chance to begin a new life, free from the evils of this place.
Kaileena: I am sorry Prince, but I cannot take you up on your offer.
Throne room (Past)
Prince: Where is the Empress? Where are the Sands?
What are you doing? You▓ve trapped us in here!
Kaileena: I am sorry Prince, but only one of us can cheat fate today!
Prince: You┘are the Empress!
Kaileena: I told you to leave. And yet, you kept coming back. I began to wonder. If you could change your fate, perhaps I could change mine!
Kaileena: I had hoped the Dahaka would kill you. I had hoped Shahdee would keep you from the Island┘or that the Towers would finish you off┘ I even cursed the sword I gave you! AND YET YOU DID NOT DIE!
Prince: Why would you do this?
Kaileena: I▓ve already told you I have foreseen my future. To die at your hands┘ But like you, I▓ve decided to change it!
Prince: I mean you no harm, Kaileena┘ But I must finish this.
Kaileena: You are a fool, Prince! No matter what you do, you still fail. Just as I have tried. And just as I have failed!
Prince: I am sorry, Kaileena.
I must return to the Present!
