Speaker 1: M come, I want to show you something. She's a dog.
Speaker 1: Push it open. Ah, Have you brought him there? I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: I just see her. I am understand. They bring the
Speaker 1: prisoner fault. You are a traitor to human being. Take
Speaker 1: him away, execute him. Don't worry. He's mad, completely mad. Come, come,
Speaker 1: where are you going? You your sleep? They're mady or
Speaker 1: blind like me, or cripple, usually from childhood. Shit, shit,
Speaker 1: is there a slave for a wine for us? Here?
Speaker 1: We're all slaves, but the slaves have slaves. Yeah, thank you.
Speaker 1: It's not really wine. Obviously sits it. When I was
Speaker 1: a child, long ago, before the Sultan, before the Sultan, before,
Speaker 1: before the Sultan, before that, sixty years ago, I think,
Speaker 1: though I can't be sure, time runs differently in this place.
Speaker 1: Back then, I lived in the harem with my mother.
Speaker 1: She was wife of the Sultan, one of many. You
Speaker 1: wouldn't believe the life. We had. Everything a boy could want.
Speaker 1: I had tutors, I had my own horses, and the
Speaker 1: clothes we wore, the finest silk from the bazaars of Mozart.
Speaker 1: There was nothing we desired that we couldn't have. We
Speaker 1: were being trained to rule all of us boys, the
Speaker 1: sons of the sultan, nineteen or twenty of us. I
Speaker 1: was the youngest. I remember the date all changed the
Speaker 1: sultan our father died. Who knows of what he died
Speaker 1: of death? Lets say, I remember I was with my
Speaker 1: mother and we heard screams, cries wailing. You see, it
Speaker 1: was the second son, young fab, our father's favorite, who
Speaker 1: had claimed the throne, and according to the custom on
Speaker 1: becoming sultan, his first act was to order the murder
Speaker 1: of his brothers and their mothers. The task of murdering
Speaker 1: me was given to my eunique Nightingale. We had been friends.
Speaker 1: He had been like a father to me. He used
Speaker 1: to crawl around, pretending to be an elephant, and I
Speaker 1: rode on his back, and we captured towns together, and
Speaker 1: I was a great warrior. He called us, mother and
Speaker 1: I into the library. He ordered the tutors and the
Speaker 1: slaves to leave, and I could see in Nightingale's hand
Speaker 1: he was holding the silken cord to wind around our necks.
Speaker 1: My mother wept and held me close and pleaded with
Speaker 1: him not to carry out his orders. She kept saying,
Speaker 1: at least save my son, save my mead. He put
Speaker 1: the cord around her neck, and I looked into his
Speaker 1: eyes and I saw that he couldn't do it. He
Speaker 1: led us into a secret passage through the palace, then
Speaker 1: out into the city. We lived there for a year
Speaker 1: or more, and then we were captured. Martingale and my
Speaker 1: mother were beheaded, but as an act of mercy, the
Speaker 1: Sultan and knew one. Of course, it didn't take long
Speaker 1: for someone to snatch par from my brother Faure. The
Speaker 1: new Sultan decided to show me mercy. The last thing
Speaker 1: I saw was the death of my mother and Nightingale,
Speaker 1: and then I was blinded and sent here to the
Speaker 1: furthest desert, to this, the Palace of the Blind. They
Speaker 1: lay the man the dispossessed until you with it. I
Speaker 1: I'm not deluded. And yet here you are, Commander Gregor,
Speaker 1: master of the Paris Guard, master of nothing. Here you
Speaker 1: are to Monday, season four, Episode one, Palace of the
Speaker 1: Blind by John Scott Dryden. I am exiled from tuman Bay.
Speaker 1: When tuman Bay needs me most one city, two masters,
Speaker 1: or rather one master and a mistress. The Grandmaster, Amalric
Speaker 1: and his Ballarach knights. Mhm, what do you think, my
Speaker 1: dear and Fatima, a provincial governor's wife, Mannell, and between
Speaker 1: them my niece Manell, the sultana in name. At least
Speaker 1: I asked you what you think? I'm sorry about what?
Speaker 1: Why do the people hate me? They don't? They do?
Speaker 1: I see it in the stairs. Look at them coping
Speaker 1: as we passed by. I sacrificed my dear son for that.
Speaker 1: I saved them from the ballarach. Why don't they love me?
Speaker 1: You want the people to love you. I want them
Speaker 1: to adorn me. The ballarak is still here. Of course
Speaker 1: we should think of remarriage. Who for you? Of course,
Speaker 1: to cement our position. It's too soon. I don't want
Speaker 1: to dishonor the memory of my husband, My poor dear boy.
Speaker 1: It was not meant to be for him, but for Asthma.
Speaker 1: Now you are my daughter. Now I am mother of
Speaker 1: the empire, and you other sultana. We need something that
Speaker 1: people need, something to celebrate, a big event, a wedding.
Speaker 1: Something we need to deal with the ballarak. Why do
Speaker 1: you keep going on about the ballarak? They are not
Speaker 1: a problem. There are annoyance. Oh yeah, tell him to
Speaker 1: open the gate. Yes do you want? We're here to
Speaker 1: see the grand Master? Not today? But this is menl
Speaker 1: Sultana of tuman Bay. She wishes to see the Grand Master.
Speaker 1: Not today. Your men have been stopping consignments sent to
Speaker 1: my palace in the provinces. We'll have to ask the
Speaker 1: grand Master. I can't. I can't and ask the Grandmaster
Speaker 1: because you don't let me in. Driver, take us back
Speaker 1: to the palace. So what are you sending to the provinces?
Speaker 1: Never mind? Huh? Look, Balarak soldiers are everywhere. They're taking
Speaker 1: over everything, every office, every institution, every and I have
Speaker 1: my army, yes, but the Ballara. Can you stop talking
Speaker 1: about the Ballarak. We will deal with them when we
Speaker 1: deal with them, but not today. Then when you're making
Speaker 1: me angry. Man now with all your questions, don't make
Speaker 1: your mother angry. All right, this isn't the way, driver,
Speaker 1: This isn't the way to the palace. The driver knows
Speaker 1: where he's going. Sit back, my dear, relax, But this
Speaker 1: is we're going through traitor escape Dan. Where are you?
Speaker 1: Why don't you come out? I know you're there. Alkin Ah,
Speaker 1: you have found the only mirror in the Palace of
Speaker 1: the Blind. We have no use for them here. You
Speaker 1: will only find yourself there, my friend, there is somebody else.
Speaker 1: That would be the reflection of me. No, I saw
Speaker 1: h she's dead, but she came back. Then you saw spirit.
Speaker 1: She was as real as you are. I look out there,
Speaker 1: my friend. You have eyes. Look out at the desert.
Speaker 1: The desert is real. That's what are we. We are
Speaker 1: here and gone. Sometimes I can see her if I
Speaker 1: can look past the surface of the glass. It's like
Speaker 1: looking through the surface of water, like seeing the river. Bit.
Speaker 1: I see her there for a moment, and then she's gone.
Speaker 1: We all have memories. No, I can feel her breathing
Speaker 1: on my neck, and then I turn and she's not there.
Speaker 1: I believe you, I do. I remember after my mother died.
Speaker 1: I could feel her presence in the room. I could
Speaker 1: hear her soft voice in my ears. No, you don't understand.
Speaker 1: No one understands this. It's driving me insane. Been looking
Speaker 1: for you everywhere you old goat. You're not supposed to
Speaker 1: be wondering about like this. God, have you pissed yourself again?
Speaker 1: I am not going to clean that up. You can
Speaker 1: stay in those till tomorrow. Come on, you filthy pig.
Speaker 1: Why don't you let me take him back to his room?
Speaker 1: You just touched me what you're not allowed to touch
Speaker 1: the orderlies. Look, I'll take care of him. You can go.
Speaker 1: Was that an order? No, I'm his friend. I can
Speaker 1: change him. I can. I'm told you were an official
Speaker 1: in the Sultan's court. Yes, you look like you're used
Speaker 1: to ordering people around. Oh, it must be hard for
Speaker 1: you being here, getting used to all. They don't reach
Speaker 1: for it. You haven't got a sword anymore. They took
Speaker 1: that away from you. You still here, old man. Why
Speaker 1: don't you leave him alone and leave him with me?
Speaker 1: It's all right, I just go. Look, stay, we were
Speaker 1: just talking. We were just talking. Leave him alone here,
Speaker 1: leave me alone, restrain him. Attacked me? What I didn't
Speaker 1: do anything risks. Once people were afraid of me, they
Speaker 1: did what I told them. Now I looked down on myself,
Speaker 1: the same part of me. That is, I think about
Speaker 1: what I was, and look at what I've become. I
Speaker 1: don't belong here. Why can't others see what I saw?
Speaker 1: I saw her in the cellars of the palace, the
Speaker 1: woman Alkin, and she told me something. Why can't I
Speaker 1: remember it? My cat? I knew it was so important,
Speaker 1: the most important thing in the world, and I looked
Speaker 1: for it. I searched for it, and I asked everyone
Speaker 1: and and they said I was mad, and can't you
Speaker 1: come back? I need to more tell me more. What's
Speaker 1: that you are boy? Before you can say, I need
Speaker 1: to tell you something about the nature of the world,
Speaker 1: you know? So what now we wait? Is the judge here,
Speaker 1: the physician? Mrs They are coming. You know, you know
Speaker 1: I'm true to you, mother or of my late husband,
Speaker 1: mother of the empire, and I am the sultana, yes,
Speaker 1: daughter of Tumin Bay's greatest general, beloved of the people.
Speaker 1: I am so bored of hearing it. You've lost control,
Speaker 1: my dear, an empire with two rulers. Well three, let
Speaker 1: us begin. What do you intend to do your lunch's?
Speaker 1: I told you your lunch dates, cameran, what's it going?

Speaker 1: do then watch, but watch and then uh cadalisous not
Speaker 1: just you. Do you remember the story I told you
Speaker 1: of the martyr? Do I remember? They opened up his stomach,
Speaker 1: pulled out his entrails and nailed them to a steak
Speaker 1: like this one here, dctor, please give me something, stay doctor,
Speaker 1: He used to have nothing. The martyr was encouraged to
Speaker 1: walk around the stake as his entrails unwound. Now do
Speaker 1: you remember Kadari how many times he managed to walk
Speaker 1: around the stake before he finally succumbed. What's going on here?
Speaker 1: This is official business. Judicial practices fall under the authority
Speaker 1: of the ballard as well. I know I have a
Speaker 1: judge here. Everything is as it should be. Has the
Speaker 1: Grand Master been informed of your intention? Is he the
Speaker 1: Sultan of tuman Bay? Now I think not? This is
Speaker 1: our Sultana Manel, Please thank the Grandmaster for his concern
Speaker 1: and pass him our good wishes. I hope he recovers soon.
Speaker 1: Grandmaster is not ill. Oh, I'm sorry. I assumed because
Speaker 1: he was unable to see us today that he was
Speaker 1: ill rather than just ill mannered. Now leave us to
Speaker 1: do the work of duman Bay Well, good early. What
Speaker 1: the martyr times around the state amazing? How much there

Speaker 1: murder of Prince heard son of the mother of the Empire,
Speaker 1: Mistress Fatima. Put that first, my son's murder. Put it
Speaker 1: first in the record if it wasn't him. I never
Speaker 1: wanted to harm your son. It was a mistake and
Speaker 1: awful mistake. My flesh and blood. I'll admit my idiot son.
Speaker 1: He's already paid the price. Knife Mrs. I never wanted
Speaker 1: post for myself. I did what I did. Food tub bath,

Speaker 1: Because Gregor Or, you are the hinge of history. Look
Speaker 1: you see the tracks in the sand and the lizard.
Speaker 1: I can't my eyes come out of the sun. I
Speaker 1: can't see you. Show yourself to me. It's all right,
Speaker 1: it's all right, it's just me. Stop. You haven't forgotten me,
Speaker 1: have you? I prepared? You are wrong? Remember when you
Speaker 1: first arrived. Stop, sop, that's right here. Drink. Oh. I
Speaker 1: wish I could do more to help you, but they
Speaker 1: will do that thing me again with the spiders. I
Speaker 1: can't do with the spiders again. Up like you, I
Speaker 1: have to go. Wait? How how long will they leave
Speaker 1: me here? You know it's for your own good, don't you.
Speaker 1: We're here because we went wrong, Like the lizard, we
Speaker 1: have to shed our skins. And the sooner you understand that,
Speaker 1: my friend, the better it will be for you. See
Speaker 1: the tracks in the sand, What did you say? The
Speaker 1: tracks in the sand? There the lizard. You need to
Speaker 1: decide which one to follow. What do you mean, if
Speaker 1: you follow the wrong one, you will die. But if
Speaker 1: you follow the right one, who are you? I have
Speaker 1: to go. They will be looking for me. See the
Speaker 1: tracks gragel in the sand? Mm hmm, there are no tracks.
Speaker 1: There are no wake up and see, wake up, Wake up.
Speaker 1: The old man told me to help you. Come on,
Speaker 1: we need to get you cleaned up. You do remember me,
Speaker 1: don't you. You came to see me in the desert,
Speaker 1: did I? You were telling me about the tracks in
Speaker 1: the sand. I don't think so. Now come on, let's
Speaker 1: get you up. How long have I been sleeping? A
Speaker 1: day or so? You can see? Oh? Yes, not everyone
Speaker 1: is blind here. Some of us are just prisoness. Well,
Speaker 1: officially we are all guests, but we are prisoness. This
Speaker 1: that's where you were. They always put the new ones
Speaker 1: in the Eastern Lynn for the first few moons to
Speaker 1: settle them in. People usually take a while. We all
Speaker 1: come from well privileged lives, palaces, great houses, the children
Speaker 1: of generals and rulers, all destined for greatness. And now
Speaker 1: we are surplus to requirements through here. Because this the
Speaker 1: passage of time. That's a joke, because time passes so
Speaker 1: slowly here. Oh how long have I been here? Well,
Speaker 1: let's just say a while. This is the grand Hall.
Speaker 1: It's not very grand anymore, I'm afraid. Yes, no, your majesty,
Speaker 1: this is your loyal servant greg God. Just power and
Speaker 1: walk backwards. Thank you, your majesty. When they built this
Speaker 1: place they modeled it on the Palace at Thurman Bay,
Speaker 1: only it's much smaller. Of course, it doesn't have everything
Speaker 1: the Palace at Touman Bay has. There's no managerie, no
Speaker 1: all of mirrors, no gardens, just sand. Really, Ah, here's
Speaker 1: your room. I left the basin of water there so
Speaker 1: you can wash yourself, and fresh clothes for you, my friend.
Speaker 1: Thank you. Look, be careful of the orderlies. They answer
Speaker 1: to no one. Orderlies, that's what they call themselves. In truth,
Speaker 1: they are here to guard us, watch out for oh left.
Speaker 1: You were foolish to get on the wrong side of him.
Speaker 1: You see, we all have our own thoughts. The tree
Speaker 1: is to keep them to yourself. Put them in a
Speaker 1: box and close the lid and turn the key, and
Speaker 1: then hide the key in another box, and then close
Speaker 1: the lid. And I do this all day long. And that,
Speaker 1: my friend, is the route back to sanity. I'll leave
Speaker 1: you to rest. Dinner is at sunset in the grand hall. Wait, yes,
Speaker 1: why are you here me? Oh? Yeah, I ate my
Speaker 1: sister what it was a long time ago. I would
Speaker 1: never do anything like that. Now I've put it in
Speaker 1: a box and locked it away. See you at dinner.
Speaker 1: King of Kings, Lion of lions, defenders, so kind, so all,
Speaker 1: ton of eagles, destroyer of enemy, father of the ship,
Speaker 1: hip hip, my friendship. Got your food good? You must
Speaker 1: be hungry, after all you've been proven. No, no, not yet,
Speaker 1: my friend pe. We have to wait for the stime
Speaker 1: to eat first. What is rightfully mine? I just see
Speaker 1: your veal from the mountains of the moon, prepared by
Speaker 1: my very head. Now we can eat execute h I
Speaker 1: know one of the cooks, and I've got a honey
Speaker 1: cake for you. Thank you? Are you I God clean? Yes, Olive,
Speaker 1: don't catch his eye, Gregor, don't look up. Oh how
Speaker 1: are you this evening? Friend? You need to look at
Speaker 1: me when I'm addressing you. Oh dear, oh dear, this
Speaker 1: is not good at all. Perhaps another stint in the
Speaker 1: sun that's better. How are you feeling, grand time? Then
Speaker 1: say thank you old that I'm feeling better? Do it?
Speaker 1: Thank you? Olf. I'm feeling better. Good. What did you
Speaker 1: do friends that made them send you here? I don't
Speaker 1: wish to punish you, friend, but I will. What did
Speaker 1: you do? Look at me when I speak? What did
Speaker 1: you do? Friend? I can't remember? What use are you?
Speaker 1: What use to us here? What use? How will you contribute?
Speaker 1: I am of no use. No, you are nothing, nothing
Speaker 1: at all? Whoa? Oh there it is, majesty, the Palace
Speaker 1: of the Blind. Yeah, what's going on? It's on table?
Speaker 1: What do you wait? Huh hm A sitting here, majesty.
Speaker 1: It's safer. They can be unpredicted. M hm. How are
Speaker 1: your uncle? Are they feeding you? You look thin? I
Speaker 1: have to get back to two many, back to my work.
Speaker 1: You know what happened there? It was a bad time.
Speaker 1: Are you still saying that you saw Alkin? You know
Speaker 1: how that hurt me? I do, and I'm sorry for it.
Speaker 1: I saw nothing. I understand that now Alkin is dead, Yes,
Speaker 1: executed in the Grand Square. We both saw it. We
Speaker 1: lit her pier and pushed it out to see. Yes. Yes,
Speaker 1: and I am better. M hmm. They tell me that
Speaker 1: you attacked one of your orderlies. He was injured quite badly.
Speaker 1: That's not true. You need time, uncle, Uncle. The way
Speaker 1: you were behaving, going around asking impossible questions, having walls
Speaker 1: knocked down, looking for secret passageways, You're anger. You're lucky
Speaker 1: to be alive. Mistress Fatma wanted you to be well.
Speaker 1: It's only because of my loyalty to you, because father
Speaker 1: trusted you after she killed cool and you allow her
Speaker 1: to rule the side you. She doesn't rule, Uncle, I rule.
Speaker 1: I am the sultana and I am just another madman
Speaker 1: in the palace of the Blind. You get me out
Speaker 1: of here now, it's all right, it's all right. I
Speaker 1: can handle him. You need rest and calm to manbey
Speaker 1: is a dangerous place, and you, Uncle, you need to
Speaker 1: get better, says yes. Cadi is now my grand vizier Uncle,
Speaker 1: and I'm the one in a madhouse. Cadali is a traitor.
Speaker 1: He tried to overthrow you. I know, Uncle, how can
Speaker 1: you trust him? I trust him to serve himself. In
Speaker 1: these times. We don't need saints. We need a man
Speaker 1: who is wise to the evil of this world and
Speaker 1: walks its path like a friend. Whatever has been lost,
Speaker 1: he knows where it is, all the secrets, all the
Speaker 1: hidden places. Wait, Uncle, listen to me. I need you.
Speaker 1: You need to get better. I need you, uncle. Do
Speaker 1: you understand? Should I allow the men to prepare the horses, majesty? Yes,
Speaker 1: there's no more to be gained here. We will ride overnight. Hello,
Speaker 1: is there something I can help you? Stand back? Do
Speaker 1: not approach the Sultana. You should probably go back to
Speaker 1: the women's quarters. Friend, they will be worried. They're probably
Speaker 1: looking for you already. I don't know what this fellow
Speaker 1: is saying. Fellow is going to cut off your head
Speaker 1: if you don't step back. You have a sword? Are
Speaker 1: you really? They said it was a young woman, the
Speaker 1: new Sultana, is it? Is it really, your majesty? Yes,
Speaker 1: it is me. What are you doing here? Sorry? I
Speaker 1: didn't mean any disrespect. It's just I've never although I
Speaker 1: was brought up in a palace. It was forgive me
Speaker 1: a scene. Do you remind me of someone? Oh? Yes, oh,
Speaker 1: my sister. We were brought up in a palace, and
Speaker 1: then we were sent on a journey through the desert.
Speaker 1: It was very hard, Majesty. We should be going, of course,
Speaker 1: Please please let me show you the way out. We
Speaker 1: know exactly where we are going. Of course, you do
Speaker 1: travel safely, majesty, go full moment, God, I will score
Speaker 1: my friend here back to his quarters. Come friends. I'm
Speaker 1: so sorry about the small misunderstanding. You know, last night
Speaker 1: at dinner between us and the time before, I hadn't
Speaker 1: realized well obviously, when the Sultana graced us with are
Speaker 1: we all right? What do you mean? You must understand?
Speaker 1: I have my duties? Are we all right? You? And
Speaker 1: I M good? Thank you? So she came all this
Speaker 1: way to see you. It's very well. Let's something, Commander,
Speaker 1: that's something here. We are anything you need anything at all?
Speaker 1: You just let me know. H m hmm. Should I
Speaker 1: bring more hot water? Majesty? No? Where have you been
Speaker 1: hunting a new falcons all night? I was worried? Why
Speaker 1: didn't you tell me? I don't know. I didn't think to.
Speaker 1: These are dangerous times. We can't have the Sultana just
Speaker 1: disappearing into the desert. I have my God, yes, but
Speaker 1: I wanted you in my bed last night. I don't
Speaker 1: like it when you're not there. I miss our little conversations.
Speaker 1: How we amuse each other when we can't sleep. M
Speaker 1: don't you love your mother? Of course I do. It's
Speaker 1: just you didn't invite me to the desert. I might
Speaker 1: have enjoyed it. Do you hunt? Have you trained a whole?
Speaker 1: But I would have enjoyed being with you, sharing your
Speaker 1: pleasure mother and daughter. I should have thought of us, Yes, yes,
Speaker 1: you should have thought anyway, It's good that you are
Speaker 1: finally here. We have a council meeting, so I'm gonnish
Speaker 1: your bath and slave tender Sultana, no other matters. It
Speaker 1: seems that an number of caravans heading out of the
Speaker 1: city have been turned back at the city gates by
Speaker 1: who the ball Iraq. They say they are to increase
Speaker 1: their numbers on the city gates for the protection of
Speaker 1: tuman Bay. They say they fear certain precious items are
Speaker 1: being looted from many of the city's great buildings. Ridiculous, outrageous,
Speaker 1: Quite so, Mistress Phedoma. It's a ploy to increase their
Speaker 1: influence over the city. My understanding is, forgive me, mistress,
Speaker 1: if I speak, I don't need to remind you that
Speaker 1: you are only here because your skills and connections are
Speaker 1: of particular value, of course, of course, and I am
Speaker 1: here to help to put things right between us for
Speaker 1: tuman Bay. I love tuman Bar Above all else, of
Speaker 1: course I do well. The only thing holding the Ballorak
Speaker 1: in check at the moment is my army is doing nothing.
Speaker 1: It has camped outside the city walls. Is not anyone
Speaker 1: appreci shade what I am doing for this city. My
Speaker 1: army maintains the balance. They don't do it out of
Speaker 1: the goodness of their hearts. They need gold. I need
Speaker 1: gold to pay them. We don't have gold. You dari
Speaker 1: are supposed to be good at getting gold. It's what
Speaker 1: you promised that you could always find more gold. Well, yes,
Speaker 1: there are bankers operating in the city from across the
Speaker 1: Middle Sea, from a Inca, and I imagine they're still
Speaker 1: here and could help give them the right inducements. I
Speaker 1: know them all. Under Sultan Algori, I oversaw so many
Speaker 1: different arrangements. Good talk to them, prove your worst. Indeed,
Speaker 1: we will need surety, of course that can be arranged,
Speaker 1: and we will need to keep the gold away from
Speaker 1: the ballarat. The grand Master amalrik m grand Master, you
Speaker 1: seem surprised. Well, you don't normally take the trouble to
Speaker 1: attend council meetings. You rely on your advisors. Yes, they
Speaker 1: tell me all I need to know. It's good to
Speaker 1: see you in such fine health. What do you want
Speaker 1: the bell Iraq here to assist the city, to help
Speaker 1: him to recover from Mayer's occupation. One of the most
Speaker 1: important things we can do to help to Manday is
Speaker 1: to enforce the law, because without law, there is nothing.
Speaker 1: And so to this man Cadi, he was sentenced to
Speaker 1: death by a court of judges for treats. Indeed he
Speaker 1: was so what is he doing here? I pardoned him
Speaker 1: by what authority? Minnell? Why don't you tell him you
Speaker 1: are the sultana. You've forgotten, Madam. Only the judiciary can
Speaker 1: issue a pardon, and the judiciary is under the authority
Speaker 1: according to our agreement of the Ballara. And since this
Speaker 1: was done without our authority, I demand you to return
Speaker 1: the prisoner to me for justice to be carried out.
Speaker 1: He was a gift, yes, a gift from us to you,
Speaker 1: A gift that can be revoked. You cannot revoke a gift.
Speaker 1: If you do not return him, we will take him.
Speaker 1: I have an army to grand Master. Are you ready
Speaker 1: to bring it to that point? Listen to both of you.
Speaker 1: As a favor to me, grand Master, I would be
Speaker 1: grateful if you would allow the Vizier cad Ali his
Speaker 1: continued freedom in the interests of to Membay. After all,
Speaker 1: we are all here to help to Membay. And what
Speaker 1: do I get in return? What do you want? There
Speaker 1: is to be a celestial occurrence of what my astrologer
Speaker 1: will explain with your permission, Grandmaster, on the fifth month

Speaker 1: quarter of the sky where the dark Star dwells, fires
Speaker 1: will fall and illuminate the sins of men. It happened before.
Speaker 1: I saw them once with my parents, indeed, but not
Speaker 1: like this. This has been foretold in the scriptures. It's
Speaker 1: going to be a time of miracles and strange signs.
Speaker 1: And what do you require from us, the Halfees. You
Speaker 1: will lend us the Halfees to preside over a ceremony
Speaker 1: in the Grand Square. This is a moment of great
Speaker 1: importance for us and for all people. And if the
Speaker 1: Hafees declines your offer to preside, then you will order him.
Speaker 1: The Hafez is the direct descendant of the Teacher. He
Speaker 1: doesn't take orders even from the Sultana. Don't force us, Majesty,
Speaker 1: to take matters into our own hands. We have been
Speaker 1: cordial so far the Ballack are doing much to help
Speaker 1: this city, and we ask for a little. Well. We
Speaker 1: will consider your request, and you might consider proclaiming from
Speaker 1: every temple and market place that the citizens of Tumuan
Speaker 1: Bay observe this gift from the heavens. They should confess
Speaker 1: their sins in this moment or face damnation. You would
Speaker 1: do well to do likewise. I will consider it. Good brother, right,
Speaker 1: he is completely mad. I couldn't agree more. Majesty m hmm.
Speaker 1: You know it's not a bad IDEA public celebration. We
Speaker 1: can make it our own. It will be an opportunity
Speaker 1: to show the people of tum and by our strength
Speaker 1: to show the world. I know we must record it
Speaker 1: a great Tappit no a painting for the Sultan's old
Speaker 1: sculpture gallery of you and I, my dear. We must
Speaker 1: send for an artist. No expense must be spared, but
Speaker 1: we have nothing old gold. God will find gold. This
Speaker 1: is not the time to quibble. It's the time to
Speaker 1: show our glory. We shall be splendid. Good talk to
