WEBVTT - 4.07 - Menagerie of All Life 0:00:00.040 --> 0:00:08.000 M we're here, Grandmaster. My years tell me that Heaven. 0:00:09.560 --> 0:00:12.440 How does it look to you as if most of 0:00:12.440 --> 0:00:15.480 the work has been finished. There's no break in the 0:00:15.520 --> 0:00:18.560 stones of the aqueduct itself. When the last starch is 0:00:18.600 --> 0:00:22.239 near completion, I can see the capstone being raised. Yes, 0:00:22.280 --> 0:00:25.360 the structure will need to bear a good deal of Wait, 0:00:26.760 --> 0:00:33.279 you know about these things. In my father's library, there 0:00:33.280 --> 0:00:36.520 were many books on architecture. I used to amuse myself 0:00:36.560 --> 0:00:38.640 by taking the moments of all the bridges in Serene. 0:00:38.880 --> 0:00:44.120 You surprise me. There is much about you that I 0:00:44.159 --> 0:00:51.000 don't know. A different life, Grandmaster. Sometimes I wonder if 0:00:51.080 --> 0:00:58.600 what we lost is worth a rather general, Grandmaster, ready 0:00:58.640 --> 0:01:06.240 for your tour of inspection. Everything is going to plan, Grandmaster, 0:01:06.760 --> 0:01:11.240 as you foresaw. If you will accompany me, not you Heaven, 0:01:11.640 --> 0:01:16.360 but you will oblige me by inspecting the outer works. 0:01:17.600 --> 0:01:23.679 Make notes, of course, Grandmaster, Brother general and escort for 0:01:23.800 --> 0:01:30.120 my assistant, I will accompany you. Come, Grandmaster, You brother, 0:01:30.760 --> 0:01:38.600 stay with her. The main flow of water is held 0:01:38.600 --> 0:01:41.960 back at the foothills while we inspect the linings of 0:01:42.000 --> 0:01:45.039 the channel. We'll bring it to the lip on the 0:01:45.080 --> 0:01:49.280 morning of the fires. Then release on your signal, Grandmaster, 0:01:50.720 --> 0:01:54.960 do you wish me to demonstrate God favors the will prepared? Brother? 0:01:56.680 --> 0:02:00.760 The wheel can be turned by plan power as well 0:02:00.840 --> 0:02:10.120 as water is necessary. Brothers turned the windlass. Yes, yeah, Grandmaster. 0:02:11.520 --> 0:02:17.000 Place your hand against the pilots. Feel the movement. It 0:02:17.240 --> 0:02:22.760 is the very movement of life has below so above 0:02:23.639 --> 0:02:37.240 all things shall rise and in ascending praise God. Here's 0:02:37.280 --> 0:02:48.640 this terra Roodmaster. I was wondering, Yes, I saw something 0:02:48.680 --> 0:02:53.320 in the pump house, A big wheel. There's indeed a 0:02:53.400 --> 0:02:56.799 wonder of engineering. It looks very much like the one 0:02:56.800 --> 0:03:01.320 in the scross. But what is the use of it? 0:03:01.400 --> 0:03:04.840 If I may ask to raise the water level? The 0:03:04.919 --> 0:03:07.320 ancients could not have known we would need it, and 0:03:07.400 --> 0:03:11.160 yet even so they wrote of it. This is why 0:03:11.200 --> 0:03:15.280 we must follow their lead. Why the feast is so important? 0:03:15.360 --> 0:03:18.800 No matter, no drunk has forgotten who are what he 0:03:18.840 --> 0:03:20.960 is most of the time as it is written, So 0:03:21.240 --> 0:03:24.880 must it be. We obey God's wills shown in the scrolls. 0:03:24.960 --> 0:03:28.400 We do not question the outer works. You saw them 0:03:28.600 --> 0:03:31.880 there in order. The brothers know their business. They work well. 0:03:32.080 --> 0:03:34.960 To work with God in your heart is to pray. 0:03:37.720 --> 0:03:44.960 I I thank you Heaven for your work too. I 0:03:45.000 --> 0:03:50.520 do not always. I have come to rely on you 0:03:52.280 --> 0:03:57.520 in many ways. I serve as best as I can. Yes, yes, 0:03:59.360 --> 0:04:03.800 we all say, have a greater cause. It is what 0:04:04.040 --> 0:04:17.000 redeems our sin to Monday, Series four, Episode seven, Menagerie 0:04:17.200 --> 0:04:32.919 of All Life by Mike Walker. The work on the 0:04:32.960 --> 0:04:37.760 aqueduct is virtually complete. The last stones are being placed. 0:04:37.920 --> 0:04:41.840 The entire length is under inspection. Or too. Will soon 0:04:41.960 --> 0:04:44.800 flow from the mountains to every corner of the city. 0:04:45.680 --> 0:04:48.600 As I promised, your people will be able to drink 0:04:48.720 --> 0:04:52.599 bathes whim. It will be a truly great festival, not 0:04:52.760 --> 0:04:58.240 just of light, but of life, giving water our gift 0:04:59.440 --> 0:05:04.839 to the city of Tuma Bay. And the morning after 0:05:06.040 --> 0:05:11.359 we shall be gone. M hmm. Good, and everything is 0:05:11.360 --> 0:05:15.880 ready for the night of the fires. It is so 0:05:16.080 --> 0:05:21.239 you've found the Haffies. I believe it's essential to whatever 0:05:21.320 --> 0:05:25.040 ceremony you intend to hold. I have every confidence that 0:05:25.120 --> 0:05:27.919 he will be found. I have given the work to 0:05:28.000 --> 0:05:38.679 a man I trust to complete it, Commander Gregor. Indeed, indeed, yes, 0:05:41.160 --> 0:05:45.520 I hope he will perform as you wish. Well, I 0:05:45.600 --> 0:05:49.760 am really disappointed. I shall leave you now. We will 0:05:49.800 --> 0:05:59.920 not see each other again before the festival brothers. Hm 0:06:00.080 --> 0:06:08.800 m hmm, Mistress, Yes, is there something you didn't tell him? 0:06:09.000 --> 0:06:12.680 Is there about greg Or? Mistress? I felt you were 0:06:12.880 --> 0:06:17.200 holding something back. Sometimes I forget just how a student 0:06:17.240 --> 0:06:22.480 you are. Early ask for Gregor. He is no longer 0:06:22.480 --> 0:06:28.599 of any concern to anyone in this world. Like his niece, 0:06:28.760 --> 0:06:35.080 he had become irritating. I had my man a killer, 0:06:35.200 --> 0:06:38.919 deal with him, a killer, Mistress, you met him, you 0:06:38.960 --> 0:06:44.920 probably didn't notice. Keep it that way you look surprised. Yes, 0:06:44.960 --> 0:06:52.080 I suppose I'd always thought Gregor would live. Nobody lives forever, Cadali, 0:06:54.880 --> 0:06:59.680 not even you. Anyway, we need to think about my 0:06:59.760 --> 0:07:02.640 read and see. Once the Ballarack have left, it will 0:07:02.760 --> 0:07:06.360 be glorious, and the people they will love me. Of course, 0:07:06.520 --> 0:07:10.120 of course they will like a sultana, mother of the waters, 0:07:10.360 --> 0:07:13.680 mother of the empire. Everything they see and here will 0:07:13.760 --> 0:07:19.600 fill their souls with adoration. Only I don't know if 0:07:19.640 --> 0:07:27.840 regents are ever beloved, because wrong somehow, And I've done 0:07:27.880 --> 0:07:32.880 so much to bring peace and prosperity back to human bay, 0:07:33.040 --> 0:07:40.720 no one more so. Perhaps yes, well, perhaps I should 0:07:40.760 --> 0:07:50.520 be the sultana um, but the Sultana Manel I fear 0:07:50.840 --> 0:07:57.040 she may never return, after all, that's what that place 0:07:57.120 --> 0:08:18.360 is for. M h please sit wait outside. How are 0:08:18.400 --> 0:08:23.720 you feeling? I am I think all right. Thank you. 0:08:25.240 --> 0:08:29.080 You seemed a little anxious and confused when you arrived 0:08:29.200 --> 0:08:34.600 yesterday evening. I hope the rest has helped you. How 0:08:34.640 --> 0:08:37.960 are you now? I need to get word to someone, 0:08:38.960 --> 0:08:43.560 Commander Gregor in the city. I shouldn't be here. Yes, 0:08:43.679 --> 0:08:48.400 of course Gregor is my good friend. I helped him 0:08:48.440 --> 0:08:54.200 when he was in residence with us. Yes, I did, yes, 0:08:54.440 --> 0:08:59.120 the help. That's me good offending governor. Then you can 0:08:59.240 --> 0:09:02.719 understand that everyone is in danger in too Manbay. There 0:09:02.800 --> 0:09:06.040 is a coup. Coup you say. I was drugged and 0:09:06.080 --> 0:09:09.160 sent here by my enemies. I am not mad, of 0:09:09.240 --> 0:09:12.600 course you aren't. They think we're all mad out here. 0:09:12.840 --> 0:09:15.560 But there is no saner place in the Empire than this. 0:09:18.480 --> 0:09:21.240 I've been here, can't you see? I am in the meeting. 0:09:21.720 --> 0:09:24.120 But the flies, the flies. I need to stop the 0:09:24.160 --> 0:09:28.079 buzzy buzzy flies. Don't you see? Where are they? What 0:09:28.400 --> 0:09:34.280 did they have? Not right to be here? Now go? 0:09:35.480 --> 0:09:41.920 My work is never done. I'm sorry. He was a 0:09:42.000 --> 0:09:47.000 brilliant man once. Please go on if you want to 0:09:47.040 --> 0:09:49.679 help me, if and they then help me get back 0:09:49.720 --> 0:09:53.400 to man Bay. Of course I want to help you anything, majesty. 0:09:54.760 --> 0:10:00.320 I am the Sultana and there has been a coup. Yeah, yes, 0:10:00.480 --> 0:10:09.559 you said, so what can we do? Wait for a while, majesty, 0:10:09.640 --> 0:10:15.280 I think on it. It may take some time. We're 0:10:15.280 --> 0:10:18.840 going to need soldiers. There are gods here. I'm sure 0:10:18.880 --> 0:10:23.080 there'll be loyal to you, but we'll need more, more men, 0:10:23.920 --> 0:10:29.000 more time. How much time a day? Two? We have 0:10:29.080 --> 0:10:32.120 to move now? It's not so easy. We are in 0:10:32.280 --> 0:10:38.760 peril here, dark forces. I need to make alliances arrangements. 0:10:38.800 --> 0:10:43.040 But rest assured. I will do everything in my power 0:10:43.120 --> 0:10:49.719 to put you in your proper place on the throne. Gracos, 0:10:51.000 --> 0:10:53.320 Will you be so kind as to escort the Sultana 0:10:53.400 --> 0:10:58.400 back to our rooms? And you, your majesty, You will 0:10:58.440 --> 0:11:01.080 need to think of your plans or the task ahead. 0:11:01.760 --> 0:11:05.800 Who you can trust, who can be bribed, can be 0:11:05.840 --> 0:11:13.280 set aside? Make lists, be assured. Together we shall prevail. 0:11:24.600 --> 0:11:28.320 Fatima wanted me dead, she said, her hired killer on me. 0:11:29.280 --> 0:11:32.839 He had a big opinion of himself, too big. He 0:11:33.000 --> 0:11:36.680 got careless. If no one can afford to get careless 0:11:36.679 --> 0:11:44.079 in this world. Oh, Gregor for the Grandmaster. What is 0:11:44.120 --> 0:11:47.559 your business? My business is the Grandmaster's business. He used 0:11:47.559 --> 0:11:52.599 to go and ask him do so, and I'll wait here. Yeah, 0:11:53.160 --> 0:11:58.400 you're right, old man. I had to bring him in. 0:11:59.520 --> 0:12:03.240 They had pieces confused. I need to win the Grandmaster's trust, 0:12:03.720 --> 0:12:05.760 and to do that, I have to give him this gift. 0:12:07.240 --> 0:12:09.000 You don't have to come any further, Ballar, if you 0:12:09.000 --> 0:12:12.439 don't want to. I have to be here for him. 0:12:12.600 --> 0:12:18.599 Why listen the screws. It was believed they were destroyed, 0:12:18.640 --> 0:12:21.199 that they were only copies and copies of the copies, 0:12:21.360 --> 0:12:24.920 but they were hidden over the ages, passed on from 0:12:24.920 --> 0:12:27.600 her feet to her fees. When my master and I 0:12:27.679 --> 0:12:30.560 came to to my bay, they were taken by Shahjar, 0:12:30.880 --> 0:12:34.199 the wife of Sultan Algori. She wanted to use them 0:12:34.240 --> 0:12:37.160 for her own ends, but she was murdered and the 0:12:37.240 --> 0:12:42.240 screws passed to Maya. Yes, but I remember I had 0:12:42.280 --> 0:12:45.280 them in my hands. She sent them to amber profits 0:12:45.320 --> 0:12:48.320 with a Ballarak fought her armies and took them from her. 0:12:50.920 --> 0:12:57.000 You may pass, poet. Why are you telling me this? 0:12:57.840 --> 0:13:02.640 Because that isn't all. There's more, but it's locked away. 0:13:02.720 --> 0:13:05.680 He didn't know what do you mean in the half 0:13:05.679 --> 0:13:11.000 piece's mind. It's in there somewhere, but you can't remember that. 0:13:11.280 --> 0:13:15.200 I've tried so hard. But what happened to the thief 0:13:15.360 --> 0:13:19.480 after her life was stolen in gentle phone man who 0:13:19.720 --> 0:13:36.840 presided over her burial, who feared her? Do right? So 0:13:36.920 --> 0:13:41.400 you found him? I hear you for that and my 0:13:41.480 --> 0:13:44.200 found did you matter? I will do it, I promise, 0:13:44.880 --> 0:13:51.720 I gave my word. Grandmaster here he found the happy 0:13:52.240 --> 0:13:54.880 never doubted you would succeed. Help him, Dwn brothers. He's 0:13:54.920 --> 0:13:59.880 precious to us. Yes, Grandmaster can be reunited with his scroves. 0:14:00.480 --> 0:14:02.400 Take them to their tent to look after them. Well, 0:14:02.600 --> 0:14:06.800 he's all he is not well. Camp Commander, you have 0:14:06.960 --> 0:14:16.920 done well. You will take refreshments. You don't first right here, 0:14:19.240 --> 0:14:27.480 please said heaven, bring food and wine. You have done 0:14:27.520 --> 0:14:31.440 as a great service. What can we do in return? 0:14:32.480 --> 0:14:34.800 I'm concerned with the balance of power in the palace, 0:14:35.400 --> 0:14:38.680 the rule of my niece Sultana Manell. Maybe under threat. 0:14:38.760 --> 0:14:41.160 That is of no concern to me, But my niece 0:14:41.240 --> 0:14:47.560 is a very great concern to me. Wine commander, thank you. 0:14:49.080 --> 0:14:52.800 What do you want? I want? What I want is 0:14:52.880 --> 0:14:57.080 to stay alive. Your protection Grandmaster, and I want to 0:14:57.080 --> 0:14:59.880 protect Mannell. The star of the battle wrack on my chest. 0:15:00.120 --> 0:15:02.320 And once Fatima learns that I am not dead, and 0:15:02.400 --> 0:15:05.360 her assassin is, and an escort of nights when I 0:15:05.480 --> 0:15:10.400 enter the palace. So you a believer. I believe in 0:15:10.480 --> 0:15:14.800 staying alive. You are a cunning fox cradle as you 0:15:14.840 --> 0:15:17.000 have served me fairly and well it shall be as 0:15:17.040 --> 0:15:27.920 you wish heaven right the order is it steady? It 0:15:28.040 --> 0:15:30.440 weighs enough. It's not going anywhere, and you'll be as 0:15:30.440 --> 0:15:32.960 strong as a wrestler. And we're down, Dumpy. You can 0:15:32.960 --> 0:15:37.280 make a fortune in the arena. See you? Let you see? 0:15:38.200 --> 0:15:41.880 Is this? It is this? All you've done today? Some 0:15:41.920 --> 0:15:47.480 more than what you've done. Cheeky camel. Come on, come on, 0:15:47.560 --> 0:15:53.200 so get to it.

See the prisoner Mantilla, daughter 0:16:23.400 --> 0:16:27.240 of the merchant Brovand you know he's gone up five? 0:16:28.480 --> 0:16:31.080 You said, definitely.

When when 0:17:55.400 --> 0:17:59.080 when they hangars when they think they're going to do that, 0:17:59.640 --> 0:18:03.320 but they won't because there will here will stop it. 0:18:04.040 --> 0:18:06.520 They won't.

Just imagine was falling from 0:19:39.640 --> 0:19:48.040 the sky and I who can I survive?

The last person to ask me my name. 0:20:18.840 --> 0:20:23.159 The only one in a long time was Grigor, the 0:20:23.240 --> 0:20:27.439 man you came to see. When he was here, he 0:20:27.640 --> 0:20:33.159 was kind to me. Not since he left. Is he 0:20:33.280 --> 0:20:40.000 safe now? He is safe, and I need to see him. 0:20:40.040 --> 0:20:43.360 I asked the governor, and he promised he would help 0:20:43.359 --> 0:20:46.520 me get my throne back. I want him to send 0:20:46.520 --> 0:20:53.640 a message to the city to Gregor. What there's no governor. 0:20:57.240 --> 0:21:00.240 We have to go now. The bell called.

Can you arrange the fall 0:23:59.640 --> 0:24:06.920 of the the pleats cutting light a moment? Mistress? Should 0:24:06.960 --> 0:24:13.280 I have a crown? There's Sultana's crown. I think the 0:24:13.359 --> 0:24:20.600 turban suits you better. More intriguing, Madam, intriguing and not 0:24:20.800 --> 0:24:25.119 interested in being intriguing.

But 0:24:44.640 --> 0:24:48.600 mostly it will be the cool, clear mountain water flowing 0:24:48.640 --> 0:24:52.560 again through your genius, Mistress, to every fountain in the 0:24:52.640 --> 0:24:57.040 city makes certain that every district overseer informs all the 0:24:57.119 --> 0:24:59.919 people of that fact.

Perhaps I 0:25:45.640 --> 0:25:53.200 should wear a crown then, Greg, what what do you seem? 0:25:53.240 --> 0:25:58.919 A little surprised to see me? Only surprised by the 0:25:59.000 --> 0:26:03.920 company you keep. Commander, you decided to join the order. 0:26:05.200 --> 0:26:07.800 Aren't they supposed to be pure in heart? They are 0:26:07.840 --> 0:26:15.800 here to ensure my safety. In that case, indulge my curiosity. 0:26:17.520 --> 0:26:20.800 My man a killer. If you haven't paid him at full, 0:26:20.840 --> 0:26:24.080 you've saved yourself some money. Very thoughtful of you, Commander, 0:26:28.400 --> 0:26:32.080 How may I serve you? Where is my niece? I 0:26:32.080 --> 0:26:33.919 want to see her I'm afraid that's not possible at 0:26:33.920 --> 0:26:37.120 this time. The Sultana has been taken ill, the strain, 0:26:37.359 --> 0:26:39.880 the pressure, and yet I will see her. You will not. 0:26:40.440 --> 0:26:44.679 I will see her. You draw a sword before me, 0:26:44.720 --> 0:26:46.640 the mother of the empire. Madam, you are no more 0:26:46.640 --> 0:26:49.879 than are grasping husband, murdering feet. I am the regent 0:26:50.040 --> 0:26:55.240 of this empire, and who really believes that gods arrest 0:26:55.280 --> 0:26:59.680 this man? Gregor? You wish just to cut them down 0:27:04.920 --> 0:27:09.760 the ballarat, our friends. I do not wish blood to 0:27:09.800 --> 0:27:17.199 be spilt, but if it must be, then no, we 0:27:17.280 --> 0:27:22.159 will leave. I will escort you, a gentleman, from the 0:27:22.200 --> 0:27:33.159 throne room if I may. I never thought i'd be 0:27:33.200 --> 0:27:38.240 glad you're still around, but I am. I am really 0:27:40.280 --> 0:27:46.680 wait for me outside. Yes, come on, greg Or, this 0:27:46.720 --> 0:27:52.040 whole thing has it. It's not working. She goes too far, 0:27:52.800 --> 0:27:56.560 The coaches out of control. You decided to take the ride, Kadi. 0:27:57.440 --> 0:28:02.239 Where is Manella? Look? Can I trust you about as 0:28:02.240 --> 0:28:04.320 far as I can trust you? You need to give 0:28:04.320 --> 0:28:13.399 me something, Cadali, where is Manell? You know your own 0:28:13.440 --> 0:28:26.880 way out commanded? We met at the banquet, Senior angel. Yes, 0:28:27.480 --> 0:28:29.480 you must excuse me, though I have to drug her. 0:28:30.560 --> 0:28:34.000 He did something to her. They made her change. She 0:28:34.040 --> 0:28:40.120 didn't recognize me, the Sultana, manell Ah. I saw the 0:28:40.120 --> 0:28:42.360 way you were looking at her at the banquet. You 0:28:42.440 --> 0:28:47.800 were friends, more than friends. I would do anything for her. 0:28:48.280 --> 0:28:50.760 Then tell me what happened. They took her away out 0:28:50.800 --> 0:28:53.880 of the city, which way I don't know, into the desert. 0:28:54.600 --> 0:28:59.680 They sent a physician with her. Yes, does that mean 0:28:59.720 --> 0:29:10.240 something to you? It means everything. Come with me the 0:29:10.360 --> 0:29:13.880 keys of the city under Maya, and even in my exile, 0:29:13.960 --> 0:29:21.480 I kept a set hidden. I knew they were coming. Usefulness, 0:29:21.600 --> 0:29:26.120 the presses, the ball. Why are we in the market, 0:29:26.960 --> 0:29:36.080 That's why? RedBerry, greenberries freshman. How are you, Commander, I 0:29:36.120 --> 0:29:41.720 haven't seen you in the age. Nothing to report? Rumors 0:29:41.760 --> 0:29:46.440 about the Sultana. Why has nobody seen her recently? Bribes 0:29:46.480 --> 0:29:50.560 at the palace to get anything done? I think unusual 0:29:50.680 --> 0:29:53.640 as usual? You still have what do you gave me 0:29:53.760 --> 0:29:58.280 to keep? I'd like them back, please. I always keep 0:29:58.360 --> 0:30:05.480 them close with my other keys. Nobody would suspect anything. 0:30:06.880 --> 0:30:11.080 It's not your birthney, command, but hide as near plain 0:30:11.200 --> 0:30:14.720 side as you can. You're a good man's back sergeant. 0:30:15.440 --> 0:30:18.480 I no longer need you you're free to go. Very welcome. 0:30:18.480 --> 0:30:35.520 On O. What is this? It's bass. There are many 0:30:35.520 --> 0:30:38.880 tunnels out of the city under the walls. This was 0:30:38.920 --> 0:30:42.560 a smuggler's route. They take a whole caravans back and forward, 0:30:42.600 --> 0:30:46.640 avoiding the duty on their goods. Of course, the bribes 0:30:46.680 --> 0:30:48.720 they paid to those who kept the tunnels came to 0:30:48.880 --> 0:30:50.920 almost as much as if they paid the taxes. But 0:30:51.040 --> 0:30:54.000 that's too much for you. Given a choice between legal 0:30:54.080 --> 0:30:58.680 and not, will always go for the lastny. This is 0:30:58.720 --> 0:31:02.000 a new doubt the seminars. I don't have a key, 0:31:02.120 --> 0:31:06.520 but you have me and I have this. There's not 0:31:06.760 --> 0:31:09.280 a lock I couldn't pick by the time I was ten, 0:31:10.280 --> 0:31:19.200 and this is less than child's play. Half for you, commander, 0:31:23.200 --> 0:31:25.280 I think exactly did you do as a ten year 0:31:25.280 --> 0:31:30.320 old signor? Like your smugglers, I moved things around? How 0:31:30.360 --> 0:31:32.960 far before we come to the surface A good while. 0:31:33.880 --> 0:31:41.640 Let's save your energy. It must have taken years to 0:31:41.720 --> 0:31:48.840 build something this long. Are those bones in the wall? Yes? 0:31:50.400 --> 0:31:53.560 Said the city was destroyed and then remade some of 0:31:53.600 --> 0:31:57.520 it with the bones of the dead. Who knows something 0:31:57.560 --> 0:32:01.040 else lost in time. Once we get to the desert, 0:32:01.080 --> 0:32:12.120 you'll find huge swe stop my no, I think I 0:32:12.120 --> 0:32:23.400 can see light ahead wait here with the horses h 0:32:35.680 --> 0:32:46.720 akin Hello, greg ahead, Is it you? I believe it 0:32:46.880 --> 0:32:59.840 is do you? I don't know? Touch my hand. Oh yeah, 0:33:00.040 --> 0:33:03.760 what are you dead and not dead? No wonder I 0:33:03.840 --> 0:33:09.440 was mad. You're not mad, Gregor, you never were. Thank 0:33:09.480 --> 0:33:15.800 God for that. Thank you. It's I have so many questions. 0:33:15.920 --> 0:33:18.240 There is a time for questions, but we are in 0:33:18.240 --> 0:33:24.360 the time for answers. Now are you a watchers talked 0:33:24.400 --> 0:33:30.400 of Sultan al Guri collected all manner of plants and 0:33:30.440 --> 0:33:34.280 creatures for his delight. He caused a great managerie to 0:33:34.320 --> 0:33:36.840 be made for them, where they were able to flourish 0:33:36.840 --> 0:33:40.120 and live their natural lives. And because they knew no 0:33:40.200 --> 0:33:42.640 other life, they thought they were living in the great world, 0:33:43.760 --> 0:33:48.240 But they were not. Do you remember when there was 0:33:48.240 --> 0:33:52.440 a sickness? First the leaves of the plants began to 0:33:52.480 --> 0:33:55.080 curl and darken, The small animals and birds who ate 0:33:55.080 --> 0:33:59.000 the leaves began to sicken and die. Then the creatures 0:33:59.000 --> 0:34:02.560 who ate them died as well. It seemed nothing would 0:34:02.560 --> 0:34:06.320 stop this disease, until at last Algory decreed that everything 0:34:06.320 --> 0:34:08.400 should be burnt and turned to ash, and the ash 0:34:08.440 --> 0:34:13.120 itself buried. Then he would begin again elsewhere with new 0:34:13.160 --> 0:34:16.480 plants and new birds and new animals of all kinds. 0:34:18.320 --> 0:34:24.440 What are you telling me? What you can understand? And 0:34:24.560 --> 0:34:28.799 what is that supposed to mean? Okay, so it will 0:34:28.840 --> 0:34:31.239 be with two Mumbai and all the world of which 0:34:31.280 --> 0:34:35.440 it is part. What are you saying it wouldn't be 0:34:35.480 --> 0:34:39.960 the first time it has happened before. A great dying 0:34:40.080 --> 0:34:43.640 comes upon the world, and then all is remade again 0:34:44.560 --> 0:34:51.279 and again and again. That's impossible. And yet you saw 0:34:51.280 --> 0:34:54.479 me hanged and saw my burning body sent out to see. 0:34:56.280 --> 0:34:59.880 What are you alkim? I have to tell you that 0:35:00.000 --> 0:35:02.719 you have a part to play, Gregor, And I tell 0:35:02.760 --> 0:35:06.520 you that I have to save Manew, my niece. She 0:35:06.560 --> 0:35:08.640 should mean something to you. You will lover us once? 0:35:10.280 --> 0:35:14.680 What was that a game? Have you been playing me outkin? 0:35:14.800 --> 0:35:17.879 All this time? I have been playing a much more 0:35:18.040 --> 0:35:22.279 serious game for longer than you can know. You must 0:35:22.320 --> 0:35:25.279 go back, stay in the city that you love. That 0:35:25.480 --> 0:35:28.440 is your role, Gregor. You must play it. If you 0:35:28.480 --> 0:35:31.360 go to an eldest world will burn and she with 0:35:31.480 --> 0:35:36.120 it if I stay. Do you remember when you came 0:35:36.160 --> 0:35:41.719 to to Umba Coulan and me, Yes, two boys who 0:35:41.760 --> 0:35:46.160 nearly died crossing the mountains, and your new master offered 0:35:46.200 --> 0:35:51.760 you a choice, a poison needle or a crystal of sugar, 0:35:53.160 --> 0:35:56.600 to live as slaves and perhaps to flourish, or to 0:35:56.680 --> 0:36:01.680 leave this world of suffering, an uncertainty for oblivion. How 0:36:01.719 --> 0:36:07.080 do you know this? At the beginning, a choice, Now 0:36:07.160 --> 0:36:14.560 again at the end, a choice oblivion or the chance, 0:36:14.640 --> 0:36:21.759 no matter how slight, to flourish. What must be done? 0:36:23.320 --> 0:36:26.279 There is a covenant between God and man. It was 0:36:26.320 --> 0:36:29.920 believed lost, but found again the scrolls the Ballarak have them, No, 0:36:31.280 --> 0:36:35.720 the ball Iaq have half. The rest are missing, hidden 0:36:35.760 --> 0:36:39.040 by the Hafeez. If they can be brought together to 0:36:39.280 --> 0:36:42.880 Mumbai and this world may live, God you find them. 0:36:42.960 --> 0:36:46.359 Once there was one path in the sand. Now there 0:36:46.360 --> 0:36:48.239
