Speaker 1: M we're here, Grandmaster. My years tell me that Heaven.
Speaker 1: How does it look to you as if most of
Speaker 1: the work has been finished. There's no break in the
Speaker 1: stones of the aqueduct itself. When the last starch is
Speaker 1: near completion, I can see the capstone being raised. Yes,
Speaker 1: the structure will need to bear a good deal of Wait,
Speaker 1: you know about these things. In my father's library, there
Speaker 1: were many books on architecture. I used to amuse myself
Speaker 1: by taking the moments of all the bridges in Serene.
Speaker 1: You surprise me. There is much about you that I
Speaker 1: don't know. A different life, Grandmaster. Sometimes I wonder if
Speaker 1: what we lost is worth a rather general, Grandmaster, ready
Speaker 1: for your tour of inspection. Everything is going to plan, Grandmaster,
Speaker 1: as you foresaw. If you will accompany me, not you Heaven,
Speaker 1: but you will oblige me by inspecting the outer works.
Speaker 1: Make notes, of course, Grandmaster, Brother general and escort for
Speaker 1: my assistant, I will accompany you. Come, Grandmaster, You brother,
Speaker 1: stay with her. The main flow of water is held
Speaker 1: back at the foothills while we inspect the linings of
Speaker 1: the channel. We'll bring it to the lip on the
Speaker 1: morning of the fires. Then release on your signal, Grandmaster,
Speaker 1: do you wish me to demonstrate God favors the will prepared? Brother?
Speaker 1: The wheel can be turned by plan power as well
Speaker 1: as water is necessary. Brothers turned the windlass. Yes, yeah, Grandmaster.
Speaker 1: Place your hand against the pilots. Feel the movement. It
Speaker 1: is the very movement of life has below so above
Speaker 1: all things shall rise and in ascending praise God. Here's
Speaker 1: this terra Roodmaster. I was wondering, Yes, I saw something
Speaker 1: in the pump house, A big wheel. There's indeed a
Speaker 1: wonder of engineering. It looks very much like the one
Speaker 1: in the scross. But what is the use of it?
Speaker 1: If I may ask to raise the water level? The
Speaker 1: ancients could not have known we would need it, and
Speaker 1: yet even so they wrote of it. This is why
Speaker 1: we must follow their lead. Why the feast is so important?
Speaker 1: No matter, no drunk has forgotten who are what he
Speaker 1: is most of the time as it is written, So
Speaker 1: must it be. We obey God's wills shown in the scrolls.
Speaker 1: We do not question the outer works. You saw them
Speaker 1: there in order. The brothers know their business. They work well.
Speaker 1: To work with God in your heart is to pray.
Speaker 1: I I thank you Heaven for your work too. I
Speaker 1: do not always. I have come to rely on you
Speaker 1: in many ways. I serve as best as I can. Yes, yes,
Speaker 1: we all say, have a greater cause. It is what
Speaker 1: redeems our sin to Monday, Series four, Episode seven, Menagerie
Speaker 1: of All Life by Mike Walker. The work on the
Speaker 1: aqueduct is virtually complete. The last stones are being placed.
Speaker 1: The entire length is under inspection. Or too. Will soon
Speaker 1: flow from the mountains to every corner of the city.
Speaker 1: As I promised, your people will be able to drink
Speaker 1: bathes whim. It will be a truly great festival, not
Speaker 1: just of light, but of life, giving water our gift
Speaker 1: to the city of Tuma Bay. And the morning after
Speaker 1: we shall be gone. M hmm. Good, and everything is
Speaker 1: ready for the night of the fires. It is so
Speaker 1: you've found the Haffies. I believe it's essential to whatever
Speaker 1: ceremony you intend to hold. I have every confidence that
Speaker 1: he will be found. I have given the work to
Speaker 1: a man I trust to complete it, Commander Gregor. Indeed, indeed, yes,
Speaker 1: I hope he will perform as you wish. Well, I
Speaker 1: am really disappointed. I shall leave you now. We will
Speaker 1: not see each other again before the festival brothers. Hm
Speaker 1: m hmm, Mistress, Yes, is there something you didn't tell him?
Speaker 1: Is there about greg Or? Mistress? I felt you were
Speaker 1: holding something back. Sometimes I forget just how a student
Speaker 1: you are. Early ask for Gregor. He is no longer
Speaker 1: of any concern to anyone in this world. Like his niece,
Speaker 1: he had become irritating. I had my man a killer,
Speaker 1: deal with him, a killer, Mistress, you met him, you
Speaker 1: probably didn't notice. Keep it that way you look surprised. Yes,
Speaker 1: I suppose I'd always thought Gregor would live. Nobody lives forever, Cadali,
Speaker 1: not even you. Anyway, we need to think about my
Speaker 1: read and see. Once the Ballarack have left, it will
Speaker 1: be glorious, and the people they will love me. Of course,
Speaker 1: of course they will like a sultana, mother of the waters,
Speaker 1: mother of the empire. Everything they see and here will
Speaker 1: fill their souls with adoration. Only I don't know if
Speaker 1: regents are ever beloved, because wrong somehow, And I've done
Speaker 1: so much to bring peace and prosperity back to human bay,
Speaker 1: no one more so. Perhaps yes, well, perhaps I should
Speaker 1: be the sultana um, but the Sultana Manel I fear
Speaker 1: she may never return, after all, that's what that place
Speaker 1: is for. M h please sit wait outside. How are
Speaker 1: you feeling? I am I think all right. Thank you.
Speaker 1: You seemed a little anxious and confused when you arrived
Speaker 1: yesterday evening. I hope the rest has helped you. How
Speaker 1: are you now? I need to get word to someone,
Speaker 1: Commander Gregor in the city. I shouldn't be here. Yes,
Speaker 1: of course Gregor is my good friend. I helped him
Speaker 1: when he was in residence with us. Yes, I did, yes,
Speaker 1: the help. That's me good offending governor. Then you can
Speaker 1: understand that everyone is in danger in too Manbay. There
Speaker 1: is a coup. Coup you say. I was drugged and
Speaker 1: sent here by my enemies. I am not mad, of
Speaker 1: course you aren't. They think we're all mad out here.
Speaker 1: But there is no saner place in the Empire than this.
Speaker 1: I've been here, can't you see? I am in the meeting.
Speaker 1: But the flies, the flies. I need to stop the
Speaker 1: buzzy buzzy flies. Don't you see? Where are they? What
Speaker 1: did they have? Not right to be here? Now go?
Speaker 1: My work is never done. I'm sorry. He was a
Speaker 1: brilliant man once. Please go on if you want to
Speaker 1: help me, if and they then help me get back
Speaker 1: to man Bay. Of course I want to help you anything, majesty.
Speaker 1: I am the Sultana and there has been a coup. Yeah, yes,
Speaker 1: you said, so what can we do? Wait for a while, majesty,
Speaker 1: I think on it. It may take some time. We're
Speaker 1: going to need soldiers. There are gods here. I'm sure
Speaker 1: there'll be loyal to you, but we'll need more, more men,
Speaker 1: more time. How much time a day? Two? We have
Speaker 1: to move now? It's not so easy. We are in
Speaker 1: peril here, dark forces. I need to make alliances arrangements.
Speaker 1: But rest assured. I will do everything in my power
Speaker 1: to put you in your proper place on the throne. Gracos,
Speaker 1: Will you be so kind as to escort the Sultana
Speaker 1: back to our rooms? And you, your majesty, You will
Speaker 1: need to think of your plans or the task ahead.
Speaker 1: Who you can trust, who can be bribed, can be
Speaker 1: set aside? Make lists, be assured. Together we shall prevail.
Speaker 1: Fatima wanted me dead, she said, her hired killer on me.
Speaker 1: He had a big opinion of himself, too big. He
Speaker 1: got careless. If no one can afford to get careless
Speaker 1: in this world. Oh, Gregor for the Grandmaster. What is
Speaker 1: your business? My business is the Grandmaster's business. He used
Speaker 1: to go and ask him do so, and I'll wait here. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you're right, old man. I had to bring him in.
Speaker 1: They had pieces confused. I need to win the Grandmaster's trust,
Speaker 1: and to do that, I have to give him this gift.
Speaker 1: You don't have to come any further, Ballar, if you
Speaker 1: don't want to. I have to be here for him.
Speaker 1: Why listen the screws. It was believed they were destroyed,
Speaker 1: that they were only copies and copies of the copies,
Speaker 1: but they were hidden over the ages, passed on from
Speaker 1: her feet to her fees. When my master and I
Speaker 1: came to to my bay, they were taken by Shahjar,
Speaker 1: the wife of Sultan Algori. She wanted to use them
Speaker 1: for her own ends, but she was murdered and the
Speaker 1: screws passed to Maya. Yes, but I remember I had
Speaker 1: them in my hands. She sent them to amber profits
Speaker 1: with a Ballarak fought her armies and took them from her.
Speaker 1: You may pass, poet. Why are you telling me this?
Speaker 1: Because that isn't all. There's more, but it's locked away.
Speaker 1: He didn't know what do you mean in the half
Speaker 1: piece's mind. It's in there somewhere, but you can't remember that.
Speaker 1: I've tried so hard. But what happened to the thief
Speaker 1: after her life was stolen in gentle phone man who
Speaker 1: presided over her burial, who feared her? Do right? So
Speaker 1: you found him? I hear you for that and my
Speaker 1: found did you matter? I will do it, I promise,
Speaker 1: I gave my word. Grandmaster here he found the happy
Speaker 1: never doubted you would succeed. Help him, Dwn brothers. He's
Speaker 1: precious to us. Yes, Grandmaster can be reunited with his scroves.
Speaker 1: Take them to their tent to look after them. Well,
Speaker 1: he's all he is not well. Camp Commander, you have
Speaker 1: done well. You will take refreshments. You don't first right here,
Speaker 1: please said heaven, bring food and wine. You have done
Speaker 1: as a great service. What can we do in return?
Speaker 1: I'm concerned with the balance of power in the palace,
Speaker 1: the rule of my niece Sultana Manell. Maybe under threat.
Speaker 1: That is of no concern to me, But my niece
Speaker 1: is a very great concern to me. Wine commander, thank you.
Speaker 1: What do you want? I want? What I want is
Speaker 1: to stay alive. Your protection Grandmaster, and I want to
Speaker 1: protect Mannell. The star of the battle wrack on my chest.
Speaker 1: And once Fatima learns that I am not dead, and
Speaker 1: her assassin is, and an escort of nights when I
Speaker 1: enter the palace. So you a believer. I believe in
Speaker 1: staying alive. You are a cunning fox cradle as you
Speaker 1: have served me fairly and well it shall be as
Speaker 1: you wish heaven right the order is it steady? It
Speaker 1: weighs enough. It's not going anywhere, and you'll be as
Speaker 1: strong as a wrestler. And we're down, Dumpy. You can
Speaker 1: make a fortune in the arena. See you? Let you see?
Speaker 1: Is this? It is this? All you've done today? Some
Speaker 1: more than what you've done. Cheeky camel. Come on, come on,

Speaker 1: but they won't because there will here will stop it.

Speaker 1: father's name too. The last person to ask me my name.
Speaker 1: The only one in a long time was Grigor, the
Speaker 1: man you came to see. When he was here, he
Speaker 1: was kind to me. Not since he left. Is he
Speaker 1: safe now? He is safe, and I need to see him.
Speaker 1: I asked the governor, and he promised he would help
Speaker 1: me get my throne back. I want him to send
Speaker 1: a message to the city to Gregor. What there's no governor.
Speaker 1: We have to go now. The bell called. I have
Speaker 1: a friend, someone I care for. She might come her

Speaker 1: will be crowned our soul tongue, and the rules will
Speaker 1: ring with our praises. Here I sup have helped you
Speaker 1: from the pit of despair to the peak of the throne.
Speaker 1: I have deposed the pretender, the thief, the evil Soultan.

Speaker 1: may be forever, Majesty. Behold your rowne, your vizier, Your
Speaker 1: people rejoice. If you can hold that position for a moment, Madam,
Speaker 1: it is most heroic angel. Can you arrange the fall
Speaker 1: of the the pleats cutting light a moment? Mistress? Should
Speaker 1: I have a crown? There's Sultana's crown. I think the
Speaker 1: turban suits you better. More intriguing, Madam, intriguing and not
Speaker 1: interested in being intriguing. I want to look glorious and
Speaker 1: you will, Mistress. You will trust the great artist, Mistress,
Speaker 1: you won't be disappointed. Could Ali continue? So? Three hundred oxen,
Speaker 1: two hundred swans, a thousand ducks, two thousand ground foul
Speaker 1: wine for those who choose to drink five barrels. But
Speaker 1: mostly it will be the cool, clear mountain water flowing
Speaker 1: again through your genius, Mistress, to every fountain in the
Speaker 1: city makes certain that every district overseer informs all the
Speaker 1: people of that fact. It has been made more than
Speaker 1: clear to them. And you may relax, Madam Angel, Madam,
Speaker 1: thank you, m Grand Vizier. I have these for you
Speaker 1: to sign for the carts and the tables and the butchers.
Speaker 1: We're hiring two hundred good and here's the head eunuch
Speaker 1: taken delivery. Yes, and Mistress, there are ballarak nights to
Speaker 1: see you again. Is the grand Master with them? I
Speaker 1: don't think so, Mistress, Probably more arrangements. Send the man, yes, Mistress,
Speaker 1: So the day after you think yes, Mistress, the ballarak
Speaker 1: will be gone. The city will be also. Perhaps I
Speaker 1: should wear a crown then, Greg, what what do you seem?
Speaker 1: A little surprised to see me? Only surprised by the
Speaker 1: company you keep. Commander, you decided to join the order.
Speaker 1: Aren't they supposed to be pure in heart? They are
Speaker 1: here to ensure my safety. In that case, indulge my curiosity.
Speaker 1: My man a killer. If you haven't paid him at full,
Speaker 1: you've saved yourself some money. Very thoughtful of you, Commander,
Speaker 1: How may I serve you? Where is my niece? I
Speaker 1: want to see her I'm afraid that's not possible at
Speaker 1: this time. The Sultana has been taken ill, the strain,
Speaker 1: the pressure, and yet I will see her. You will not.
Speaker 1: I will see her. You draw a sword before me,
Speaker 1: the mother of the empire. Madam, you are no more
Speaker 1: than are grasping husband, murdering feet. I am the regent
Speaker 1: of this empire, and who really believes that gods arrest
Speaker 1: this man? Gregor? You wish just to cut them down
Speaker 1: the ballarat, our friends. I do not wish blood to
Speaker 1: be spilt, but if it must be, then no, we
Speaker 1: will leave. I will escort you, a gentleman, from the
Speaker 1: throne room if I may. I never thought i'd be
Speaker 1: glad you're still around, but I am. I am really
Speaker 1: wait for me outside. Yes, come on, greg Or, this
Speaker 1: whole thing has it. It's not working. She goes too far,
Speaker 1: The coaches out of control. You decided to take the ride, Kadi.
Speaker 1: Where is Manella? Look? Can I trust you about as
Speaker 1: far as I can trust you? You need to give
Speaker 1: me something, Cadali, where is Manell? You know your own
Speaker 1: way out commanded? We met at the banquet, Senior angel. Yes,
Speaker 1: you must excuse me, though I have to drug her.
Speaker 1: He did something to her. They made her change. She
Speaker 1: didn't recognize me, the Sultana, manell Ah. I saw the
Speaker 1: way you were looking at her at the banquet. You
Speaker 1: were friends, more than friends. I would do anything for her.
Speaker 1: Then tell me what happened. They took her away out
Speaker 1: of the city, which way I don't know, into the desert.
Speaker 1: They sent a physician with her. Yes, does that mean
Speaker 1: something to you? It means everything. Come with me the
Speaker 1: keys of the city under Maya, and even in my exile,
Speaker 1: I kept a set hidden. I knew they were coming. Usefulness,
Speaker 1: the presses, the ball. Why are we in the market,
Speaker 1: That's why? RedBerry, greenberries freshman. How are you, Commander, I
Speaker 1: haven't seen you in the age. Nothing to report? Rumors
Speaker 1: about the Sultana. Why has nobody seen her recently? Bribes
Speaker 1: at the palace to get anything done? I think unusual
Speaker 1: as usual? You still have what do you gave me
Speaker 1: to keep? I'd like them back, please. I always keep
Speaker 1: them close with my other keys. Nobody would suspect anything.
Speaker 1: It's not your birthney, command, but hide as near plain
Speaker 1: side as you can. You're a good man's back sergeant.
Speaker 1: I no longer need you you're free to go. Very welcome.
Speaker 1: On O. What is this? It's bass. There are many
Speaker 1: tunnels out of the city under the walls. This was
Speaker 1: a smuggler's route. They take a whole caravans back and forward,
Speaker 1: avoiding the duty on their goods. Of course, the bribes
Speaker 1: they paid to those who kept the tunnels came to
Speaker 1: almost as much as if they paid the taxes. But
Speaker 1: that's too much for you. Given a choice between legal
Speaker 1: and not, will always go for the lastny. This is
Speaker 1: a new doubt the seminars. I don't have a key,
Speaker 1: but you have me and I have this. There's not
Speaker 1: a lock I couldn't pick by the time I was ten,
Speaker 1: and this is less than child's play. Half for you, commander,
Speaker 1: I think exactly did you do as a ten year
Speaker 1: old signor? Like your smugglers, I moved things around? How
Speaker 1: far before we come to the surface A good while.
Speaker 1: Let's save your energy. It must have taken years to
Speaker 1: build something this long. Are those bones in the wall? Yes?
Speaker 1: Said the city was destroyed and then remade some of
Speaker 1: it with the bones of the dead. Who knows something
Speaker 1: else lost in time. Once we get to the desert,
Speaker 1: you'll find huge swe stop my no, I think I
Speaker 1: can see light ahead wait here with the horses h
Speaker 1: akin Hello, greg ahead, Is it you? I believe it
Speaker 1: is do you? I don't know? Touch my hand. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: what are you dead and not dead? No wonder I
Speaker 1: was mad. You're not mad, Gregor, you never were. Thank
Speaker 1: God for that. Thank you. It's I have so many questions.
Speaker 1: There is a time for questions, but we are in
Speaker 1: the time for answers. Now are you a watchers talked
Speaker 1: of Sultan al Guri collected all manner of plants and
Speaker 1: creatures for his delight. He caused a great managerie to
Speaker 1: be made for them, where they were able to flourish
Speaker 1: and live their natural lives. And because they knew no
Speaker 1: other life, they thought they were living in the great world,
Speaker 1: But they were not. Do you remember when there was
Speaker 1: a sickness? First the leaves of the plants began to
Speaker 1: curl and darken, The small animals and birds who ate
Speaker 1: the leaves began to sicken and die. Then the creatures
Speaker 1: who ate them died as well. It seemed nothing would
Speaker 1: stop this disease, until at last Algory decreed that everything
Speaker 1: should be burnt and turned to ash, and the ash
Speaker 1: itself buried. Then he would begin again elsewhere with new
Speaker 1: plants and new birds and new animals of all kinds.
Speaker 1: What are you telling me? What you can understand? And
Speaker 1: what is that supposed to mean? Okay, so it will
Speaker 1: be with two Mumbai and all the world of which
Speaker 1: it is part. What are you saying it wouldn't be
Speaker 1: the first time it has happened before. A great dying
Speaker 1: comes upon the world, and then all is remade again
Speaker 1: and again and again. That's impossible. And yet you saw
Speaker 1: me hanged and saw my burning body sent out to see.
Speaker 1: What are you alkim? I have to tell you that
Speaker 1: you have a part to play, Gregor, And I tell
Speaker 1: you that I have to save Manew, my niece. She
Speaker 1: should mean something to you. You will lover us once?
Speaker 1: What was that a game? Have you been playing me outkin?
Speaker 1: All this time? I have been playing a much more
Speaker 1: serious game for longer than you can know. You must
Speaker 1: go back, stay in the city that you love. That
Speaker 1: is your role, Gregor. You must play it. If you
Speaker 1: go to an eldest world will burn and she with
Speaker 1: it if I stay. Do you remember when you came
Speaker 1: to to Umba Coulan and me, Yes, two boys who
Speaker 1: nearly died crossing the mountains, and your new master offered
Speaker 1: you a choice, a poison needle or a crystal of sugar,
Speaker 1: to live as slaves and perhaps to flourish, or to
Speaker 1: leave this world of suffering, an uncertainty for oblivion. How
Speaker 1: do you know this? At the beginning, a choice, Now
Speaker 1: again at the end, a choice oblivion or the chance,
Speaker 1: no matter how slight, to flourish. What must be done?
Speaker 1: There is a covenant between God and man. It was
Speaker 1: believed lost, but found again the scrolls the Ballarak have them, No,
Speaker 1: the ball Iaq have half. The rest are missing, hidden
Speaker 1: by the Hafeez. If they can be brought together to
Speaker 1: Mumbai and this world may live, God you find them.
Speaker 1: Once there was one path in the sand. Now there
Speaker 1: are many, and even I do not know which one
Speaker 1: to take. Find what is lost? Bring them to me?
Speaker 1: Now come back? Where should I? No, greg Where should you?
Speaker 1: What did you see? Nothing? You were lost in the
Speaker 1: lights for just a moment. Then I came to look
Speaker 1: for you. Shall we go on? We must be near
Speaker 1: the entrance ballast of the Blind. It's half a day's
Speaker 1: ride beyond the entrance, right towards the evening star, you'll
Speaker 1: see mountains a peak. It's called the snow Tiger's poor
Speaker 1: palace lies in its shadow. You're not coming. I have
Speaker 1: to go to two Monday. Find vnel, save her, keep
Speaker 1: her safe, Take both horses. What just happened? Commander? When
Speaker 1: you find her, don't come back to her feast kept
Speaker 1: half the scrolls, she said, But where would he hide them?
Speaker 1: Perhaps the old drunk has a sense of humor. After all?
Speaker 1: What I need to go outside? Oh you don't? Outside
Speaker 1: is only sand? Isn't that so easier? Yes? Yes, yes,
Speaker 1: you must eat. You see. Even your vizier thinks so,
Speaker 1: and he is wise. Bring food for the sultan. Why
Speaker 1: do you neglect her? Why would you want to leave?
Speaker 1: Why have you chained me? Why am I chained? It
Speaker 1: will be a great dynasty, selony, You can understand that.
Speaker 1: Do you remember? How are you used to talk about it?
Speaker 1: All those years ago? When we escaped the court and
Speaker 1: the crowds, and we climbed up to the very top
Speaker 1: of the great Tower, and we sat together, and we
