WEBVTT - 4.01 - Palace of the Blind 0:00:00.040 --> 0:00:09.160 M come, I want to show you something. She's a dog. 0:00:10.080 --> 0:00:21.880 Push it open. Ah, Have you brought him there? I'm sorry, 0:00:21.880 --> 0:00:24.720 I just see her. I am understand. They bring the 0:00:24.720 --> 0:00:31.640 prisoner fault. You are a traitor to human being. Take 0:00:31.720 --> 0:00:38.680 him away, execute him. Don't worry. He's mad, completely mad. Come, come, 0:00:39.280 --> 0:00:47.320 where are you going? You your sleep? They're mady or 0:00:47.400 --> 0:00:55.560 blind like me, or cripple, usually from childhood. Shit, shit, 0:00:57.080 --> 0:01:01.440 is there a slave for a wine for us? Here? 0:01:01.760 --> 0:01:08.319 We're all slaves, but the slaves have slaves. Yeah, thank you. 0:01:09.840 --> 0:01:18.319 It's not really wine. Obviously sits it. When I was 0:01:18.400 --> 0:01:26.240 a child, long ago, before the Sultan, before the Sultan, before, 0:01:27.200 --> 0:01:33.319 before the Sultan, before that, sixty years ago, I think, 0:01:33.720 --> 0:01:37.680 though I can't be sure, time runs differently in this place. 0:01:38.520 --> 0:01:42.120 Back then, I lived in the harem with my mother. 0:01:42.680 --> 0:01:46.720 She was wife of the Sultan, one of many. You 0:01:46.760 --> 0:01:51.840 wouldn't believe the life. We had. Everything a boy could want. 0:01:52.400 --> 0:01:55.680 I had tutors, I had my own horses, and the 0:01:55.800 --> 0:02:00.960 clothes we wore, the finest silk from the bazaars of Mozart. 0:02:01.520 --> 0:02:04.720 There was nothing we desired that we couldn't have. We 0:02:04.720 --> 0:02:08.920 were being trained to rule all of us boys, the 0:02:09.080 --> 0:02:13.040 sons of the sultan, nineteen or twenty of us. I 0:02:13.240 --> 0:02:22.560 was the youngest. I remember the date all changed the 0:02:22.639 --> 0:02:26.760 sultan our father died. Who knows of what he died 0:02:26.800 --> 0:02:31.080 of death? Lets say, I remember I was with my 0:02:31.240 --> 0:02:37.680 mother and we heard screams, cries wailing. You see, it 0:02:37.800 --> 0:02:42.399 was the second son, young fab, our father's favorite, who 0:02:42.480 --> 0:02:47.079 had claimed the throne, and according to the custom on 0:02:47.280 --> 0:02:51.360 becoming sultan, his first act was to order the murder 0:02:51.400 --> 0:02:58.280 of his brothers and their mothers. The task of murdering 0:02:58.400 --> 0:03:04.520 me was given to my eunique Nightingale. We had been friends. 0:03:04.560 --> 0:03:07.160 He had been like a father to me. He used 0:03:07.160 --> 0:03:10.400 to crawl around, pretending to be an elephant, and I 0:03:10.760 --> 0:03:15.160 rode on his back, and we captured towns together, and 0:03:15.280 --> 0:03:21.320 I was a great warrior. He called us, mother and 0:03:21.480 --> 0:03:25.600 I into the library. He ordered the tutors and the 0:03:25.680 --> 0:03:29.960 slaves to leave, and I could see in Nightingale's hand 0:03:30.480 --> 0:03:34.960 he was holding the silken cord to wind around our necks. 0:03:37.160 --> 0:03:40.760 My mother wept and held me close and pleaded with 0:03:40.920 --> 0:03:44.400 him not to carry out his orders. She kept saying, 0:03:44.760 --> 0:03:52.000 at least save my son, save my mead. He put 0:03:52.040 --> 0:03:57.080 the cord around her neck, and I looked into his 0:03:57.160 --> 0:04:05.040 eyes and I saw that he couldn't do it. He 0:04:05.160 --> 0:04:10.200 led us into a secret passage through the palace, then 0:04:10.200 --> 0:04:14.920 out into the city. We lived there for a year 0:04:15.080 --> 0:04:19.919 or more, and then we were captured. Martingale and my 0:04:20.040 --> 0:04:23.560 mother were beheaded, but as an act of mercy, the 0:04:23.640 --> 0:04:27.040 Sultan and knew one. Of course, it didn't take long 0:04:27.160 --> 0:04:32.200 for someone to snatch par from my brother Faure. The 0:04:32.279 --> 0:04:37.120 new Sultan decided to show me mercy. The last thing 0:04:37.200 --> 0:04:41.080 I saw was the death of my mother and Nightingale, 0:04:41.839 --> 0:04:47.159 and then I was blinded and sent here to the 0:04:47.279 --> 0:04:52.840 furthest desert, to this, the Palace of the Blind. They 0:04:52.960 --> 0:05:03.320 lay the man the dispossessed until you with it. I 0:05:03.320 --> 0:05:09.720 I'm not deluded. And yet here you are, Commander Gregor, 0:05:10.600 --> 0:05:16.680 master of the Paris Guard, master of nothing. Here you 0:05:16.720 --> 0:05:27.479 are to Monday, season four, Episode one, Palace of the 0:05:27.520 --> 0:05:41.120 Blind by John Scott Dryden. I am exiled from tuman Bay. 0:05:42.080 --> 0:05:47.240 When tuman Bay needs me most one city, two masters, 0:05:48.120 --> 0:05:55.960 or rather one master and a mistress. The Grandmaster, Amalric 0:05:56.040 --> 0:06:01.760 and his Ballarach knights. Mhm, what do you think, my 0:06:01.839 --> 0:06:07.359 dear and Fatima, a provincial governor's wife, Mannell, and between 0:06:07.360 --> 0:06:11.640 them my niece Manell, the sultana in name. At least 0:06:11.960 --> 0:06:16.240 I asked you what you think? I'm sorry about what? 0:06:16.400 --> 0:06:19.920 Why do the people hate me? They don't? They do? 0:06:20.240 --> 0:06:22.760 I see it in the stairs. Look at them coping 0:06:22.839 --> 0:06:26.200 as we passed by. I sacrificed my dear son for that. 0:06:27.920 --> 0:06:30.240 I saved them from the ballarach. Why don't they love me? 0:06:31.400 --> 0:06:33.760 You want the people to love you. I want them 0:06:33.760 --> 0:06:40.640 to adorn me. The ballarak is still here. Of course 0:06:42.880 --> 0:06:47.520 we should think of remarriage. Who for you? Of course, 0:06:48.120 --> 0:06:53.760 to cement our position. It's too soon. I don't want 0:06:53.800 --> 0:06:59.760 to dishonor the memory of my husband, My poor dear boy. 0:07:01.839 --> 0:07:04.560 It was not meant to be for him, but for Asthma. 0:07:04.600 --> 0:07:08.279 Now you are my daughter. Now I am mother of 0:07:08.279 --> 0:07:12.600 the empire, and you other sultana. We need something that 0:07:12.800 --> 0:07:18.720 people need, something to celebrate, a big event, a wedding. 0:07:20.040 --> 0:07:23.320 Something we need to deal with the ballarak. Why do 0:07:23.360 --> 0:07:25.680 you keep going on about the ballarak? They are not 0:07:25.760 --> 0:07:33.640 a problem. There are annoyance. Oh yeah, tell him to 0:07:33.680 --> 0:07:40.440 open the gate. Yes do you want? We're here to 0:07:40.480 --> 0:07:43.960 see the grand Master? Not today? But this is menl 0:07:44.120 --> 0:07:47.760 Sultana of tuman Bay. She wishes to see the Grand Master. 0:07:49.160 --> 0:07:53.960 Not today. Your men have been stopping consignments sent to 0:07:54.000 --> 0:07:57.000 my palace in the provinces. We'll have to ask the 0:07:57.080 --> 0:08:00.880 grand Master. I can't. I can't and ask the Grandmaster 0:08:00.920 --> 0:08:07.440 because you don't let me in. Driver, take us back 0:08:07.440 --> 0:08:16.400 to the palace. So what are you sending to the provinces? 0:08:17.240 --> 0:08:26.640 Never mind? Huh? Look, Balarak soldiers are everywhere. They're taking 0:08:26.680 --> 0:08:31.200 over everything, every office, every institution, every and I have 0:08:31.360 --> 0:08:36.800 my army, yes, but the Ballara. Can you stop talking 0:08:36.840 --> 0:08:39.160 about the Ballarak. We will deal with them when we 0:08:39.200 --> 0:08:41.880 deal with them, but not today. Then when you're making 0:08:41.920 --> 0:08:45.600 me angry. Man now with all your questions, don't make 0:08:45.640 --> 0:08:55.360 your mother angry. All right, this isn't the way, driver, 0:08:55.559 --> 0:08:58.800 This isn't the way to the palace. The driver knows 0:08:58.800 --> 0:09:03.280 where he's going. Sit back, my dear, relax, But this 0:09:03.360 --> 0:09:26.600 is we're going through traitor escape Dan. Where are you? 0:09:28.080 --> 0:09:35.440 Why don't you come out? I know you're there. Alkin Ah, 0:09:36.040 --> 0:09:39.360 you have found the only mirror in the Palace of 0:09:39.400 --> 0:09:42.400 the Blind. We have no use for them here. You 0:09:42.440 --> 0:09:47.080 will only find yourself there, my friend, there is somebody else. 0:09:47.240 --> 0:09:51.559 That would be the reflection of me. No, I saw 0:09:52.800 --> 0:09:59.720 h she's dead, but she came back. Then you saw spirit. 0:10:00.240 --> 0:10:05.280 She was as real as you are. I look out there, 0:10:05.360 --> 0:10:09.400 my friend. You have eyes. Look out at the desert. 0:10:10.240 --> 0:10:15.719 The desert is real. That's what are we. We are 0:10:15.800 --> 0:10:22.360 here and gone. Sometimes I can see her if I 0:10:22.400 --> 0:10:25.960 can look past the surface of the glass. It's like 0:10:26.040 --> 0:10:28.840 looking through the surface of water, like seeing the river. Bit. 0:10:29.200 --> 0:10:32.600 I see her there for a moment, and then she's gone. 0:10:33.480 --> 0:10:37.559 We all have memories. No, I can feel her breathing 0:10:37.720 --> 0:10:41.280 on my neck, and then I turn and she's not there. 0:10:42.600 --> 0:10:49.120 I believe you, I do. I remember after my mother died. 0:10:49.640 --> 0:10:52.440 I could feel her presence in the room. I could 0:10:52.520 --> 0:10:55.720 hear her soft voice in my ears. No, you don't understand. 0:10:56.200 --> 0:11:00.560 No one understands this. It's driving me insane. Been looking 0:11:00.600 --> 0:11:04.120 for you everywhere you old goat. You're not supposed to 0:11:04.120 --> 0:11:09.960 be wondering about like this. God, have you pissed yourself again? 0:11:12.280 --> 0:11:13.959 I am not going to clean that up. You can 0:11:14.000 --> 0:11:16.840 stay in those till tomorrow. Come on, you filthy pig. 0:11:17.960 --> 0:11:22.040 Why don't you let me take him back to his room? 0:11:22.040 --> 0:11:26.400 You just touched me what you're not allowed to touch 0:11:26.520 --> 0:11:32.080 the orderlies. Look, I'll take care of him. You can go. 0:11:33.120 --> 0:11:37.240 Was that an order? No, I'm his friend. I can 0:11:37.320 --> 0:11:42.080 change him. I can. I'm told you were an official 0:11:42.160 --> 0:11:47.360 in the Sultan's court. Yes, you look like you're used 0:11:47.360 --> 0:11:51.640 to ordering people around. Oh, it must be hard for 0:11:51.679 --> 0:11:57.040 you being here, getting used to all. They don't reach 0:11:57.120 --> 0:12:00.800 for it. You haven't got a sword anymore. They took 0:12:00.880 --> 0:12:05.199 that away from you. You still here, old man. Why 0:12:05.200 --> 0:12:07.960 don't you leave him alone and leave him with me? 0:12:09.120 --> 0:12:14.280 It's all right, I just go. Look, stay, we were 0:12:14.360 --> 0:12:18.520 just talking. We were just talking. Leave him alone here, 0:12:18.600 --> 0:12:24.600 leave me alone, restrain him. Attacked me? What I didn't 0:12:24.600 --> 0:12:30.200 do anything risks. Once people were afraid of me, they 0:12:30.200 --> 0:12:35.319 did what I told them. Now I looked down on myself, 0:12:36.280 --> 0:12:39.440 the same part of me. That is, I think about 0:12:39.480 --> 0:12:43.160 what I was, and look at what I've become. I 0:12:43.240 --> 0:12:48.680 don't belong here. Why can't others see what I saw? 0:12:49.000 --> 0:12:52.520 I saw her in the cellars of the palace, the 0:12:52.600 --> 0:12:56.560 woman Alkin, and she told me something. Why can't I 0:12:56.600 --> 0:12:59.960 remember it? My cat? I knew it was so important, 0:13:00.000 --> 0:13:02.840 the most important thing in the world, and I looked 0:13:02.880 --> 0:13:05.720 for it. I searched for it, and I asked everyone 0:13:05.800 --> 0:13:17.760 and and they said I was mad, and can't you 0:13:17.800 --> 0:13:22.880 come back? I need to more tell me more. What's 0:13:22.960 --> 0:13:36.040 that you are boy? Before you can say, I need 0:13:36.040 --> 0:13:38.360 to tell you something about the nature of the world, 0:13:38.559 --> 0:13:51.040 you know?

Do I remember? They opened up his stomach, 0:16:50.080 --> 0:16:53.240 pulled out his entrails and nailed them to a steak 0:16:54.000 --> 0:16:59.600 like this one here, dctor, please give me something, stay doctor, 0:17:00.400 --> 0:17:03.840 He used to have nothing. The martyr was encouraged to 0:17:03.840 --> 0:17:08.120 walk around the stake as his entrails unwound. Now do 0:17:08.240 --> 0:17:11.720 you remember Kadari how many times he managed to walk 0:17:11.760 --> 0:17:17.960 around the stake before he finally succumbed. What's going on here? 0:17:18.040 --> 0:17:21.800 This is official business. Judicial practices fall under the authority 0:17:21.800 --> 0:17:24.399 of the ballard as well. I know I have a 0:17:24.480 --> 0:17:28.119 judge here. Everything is as it should be. Has the 0:17:28.200 --> 0:17:32.960 Grand Master been informed of your intention?

I hope he recovers soon. 0:17:45.600 --> 0:17:50.639 Grandmaster is not ill. Oh, I'm sorry. I assumed because 0:17:50.680 --> 0:17:52.760 he was unable to see us today that he was 0:17:52.800 --> 0:17:57.840 ill rather than just ill mannered.

I 0:21:02.560 --> 0:21:07.679 can't do with the spiders again. Up like you, I 0:21:07.720 --> 0:21:11.880 have to go. Wait? How how long will they leave 0:21:11.960 --> 0:21:16.119 me here? You know it's for your own good, don't you. 0:21:16.680 --> 0:21:21.320 We're here because we went wrong, Like the lizard, we 0:21:21.440 --> 0:21:25.040 have to shed our skins. And the sooner you understand that, 0:21:25.119 --> 0:21:29.120 my friend, the better it will be for you. See 0:21:29.160 --> 0:21:32.280 the tracks in the sand, What did you say? The 0:21:32.320 --> 0:21:36.040 tracks in the sand? There the lizard. You need to 0:21:36.160 --> 0:21:40.120 decide which one to follow. What do you mean, if 0:21:40.160 --> 0:21:45.160 you follow the wrong one, you will die. But if 0:21:45.200 --> 0:21:47.879 you follow the right one, who are you? I have 0:21:48.040 --> 0:21:56.560 to go. They will be looking for me. See the 0:21:56.600 --> 0:22:03.000 tracks gragel in the sand? Mm hmm, there are no tracks. 0:22:04.800 --> 0:22:11.840 There are no wake up and see, wake up, Wake up. 0:22:16.640 --> 0:22:19.199 The old man told me to help you. Come on, 0:22:20.200 --> 0:22:25.080 we need to get you cleaned up. You do remember me, 0:22:25.240 --> 0:22:29.320 don't you. You came to see me in the desert, 0:22:30.440 --> 0:22:32.840 did I? You were telling me about the tracks in 0:22:32.880 --> 0:22:39.800 the sand. I don't think so. Now come on, let's 0:22:39.800 --> 0:22:45.080 get you up. How long have I been sleeping? A 0:22:45.200 --> 0:22:50.960 day or so? You can see? Oh? Yes, not everyone 0:22:51.080 --> 0:22:55.200 is blind here. Some of us are just prisoness. Well, 0:22:55.320 --> 0:22:59.720 officially we are all guests, but we are prisoness. This 0:23:07.200 --> 0:23:11.000 that's where you were. They always put the new ones 0:23:11.240 --> 0:23:14.679 in the Eastern Lynn for the first few moons to 0:23:14.840 --> 0:23:19.880 settle them in. People usually take a while. We all 0:23:19.920 --> 0:23:26.000 come from well privileged lives, palaces, great houses, the children 0:23:26.080 --> 0:23:30.560 of generals and rulers, all destined for greatness. And now 0:23:30.680 --> 0:23:37.960 we are surplus to requirements through here. Because this the 0:23:38.119 --> 0:23:43.040 passage of time. That's a joke, because time passes so 0:23:43.119 --> 0:23:49.360 slowly here. Oh how long have I been here? Well, 0:23:49.560 --> 0:23:54.440 let's just say a while. This is the grand Hall. 0:23:55.400 --> 0:24:02.520 It's not very grand anymore, I'm afraid. Yes, no, your majesty, 0:24:02.560 --> 0:24:07.280 this is your loyal servant greg God. Just power and 0:24:07.520 --> 0:24:12.439 walk backwards. Thank you, your majesty. When they built this 0:24:12.560 --> 0:24:15.440 place they modeled it on the Palace at Thurman Bay, 0:24:15.440 --> 0:24:19.240 only it's much smaller. Of course, it doesn't have everything 0:24:19.280 --> 0:24:22.760 the Palace at Touman Bay has. There's no managerie, no 0:24:23.000 --> 0:24:29.520 all of mirrors, no gardens, just sand. Really, Ah, here's 0:24:29.520 --> 0:24:34.360 your room. I left the basin of water there so 0:24:34.400 --> 0:24:38.040 you can wash yourself, and fresh clothes for you, my friend. 0:24:38.400 --> 0:24:44.840 Thank you. Look, be careful of the orderlies. They answer 0:24:44.920 --> 0:24:48.760 to no one. Orderlies, that's what they call themselves. In truth, 0:24:49.080 --> 0:24:53.080 they are here to guard us, watch out for oh left. 0:24:53.400 --> 0:24:56.200 You were foolish to get on the wrong side of him. 0:24:56.320 --> 0:25:00.000 You see, we all have our own thoughts. The tree 0:25:00.359 --> 0:25:03.000 is to keep them to yourself. Put them in a 0:25:03.080 --> 0:25:06.719 box and close the lid and turn the key, and 0:25:06.760 --> 0:25:10.000 then hide the key in another box, and then close 0:25:10.119 --> 0:25:13.840 the lid. And I do this all day long. And that, 0:25:14.040 --> 0:25:18.680 my friend, is the route back to sanity. I'll leave 0:25:18.680 --> 0:25:24.160 you to rest. Dinner is at sunset in the grand hall. Wait, yes, 0:25:25.359 --> 0:25:33.119 why are you here me? Oh? Yeah, I ate my 0:25:33.160 --> 0:25:37.600 sister what it was a long time ago. I would 0:25:37.600 --> 0:25:40.159 never do anything like that. Now I've put it in 0:25:40.200 --> 0:25:44.280 a box and locked it away. See you at dinner. 0:25:49.680 --> 0:26:00.160 King of Kings, Lion of lions, defenders, so kind, so all, 0:26:00.240 --> 0:26:08.120 ton of eagles, destroyer of enemy, father of the ship, 0:26:08.200 --> 0:26:12.440 hip hip, my friendship. Got your food good? You must 0:26:12.480 --> 0:26:16.680 be hungry, after all you've been proven. No, no, not yet, 0:26:16.760 --> 0:26:19.640 my friend pe. We have to wait for the stime 0:26:19.800 --> 0:26:25.200 to eat first. What is rightfully mine? I just see 0:26:25.400 --> 0:26:28.960 your veal from the mountains of the moon, prepared by 0:26:29.040 --> 0:26:38.439 my very head. Now we can eat execute h I 0:26:38.560 --> 0:26:40.560 know one of the cooks, and I've got a honey 0:26:40.600 --> 0:26:49.040 cake for you. Thank you? Are you I God clean? Yes, Olive, 0:26:49.480 --> 0:26:56.280 don't catch his eye, Gregor, don't look up. Oh how 0:26:56.320 --> 0:27:01.520 are you this evening? Friend? You need to look at 0:27:01.520 --> 0:27:05.560 me when I'm addressing you. Oh dear, oh dear, this 0:27:05.720 --> 0:27:09.119 is not good at all. Perhaps another stint in the 0:27:09.200 --> 0:27:17.200 sun that's better. How are you feeling, grand time? Then 0:27:17.320 --> 0:27:23.600 say thank you old that I'm feeling better? Do it? 0:27:24.960 --> 0:27:30.840 Thank you? Olf. I'm feeling better. Good. What did you 0:27:30.880 --> 0:27:37.160 do friends that made them send you here? I don't 0:27:37.200 --> 0:27:40.800 wish to punish you, friend, but I will. What did 0:27:40.840 --> 0:27:45.400 you do? Look at me when I speak? What did 0:27:45.440 --> 0:27:53.280 you do? Friend? I can't remember? What use are you? 0:27:53.560 --> 0:28:00.120 What use to us here? What use? How will you contribute? 0:28:00.720 --> 0:28:10.679 I am of no use. No, you are nothing, nothing 0:28:10.720 --> 0:28:31.760 at all? Whoa? Oh there it is, majesty, the Palace 0:28:31.800 --> 0:28:46.560 of the Blind. Yeah, what's going on? It's on table? 0:28:47.320 --> 0:29:02.120 What do you wait? Huh hm A sitting here, majesty. 0:29:02.240 --> 0:29:10.120 It's safer. They can be unpredicted. M hm. How are 0:29:10.160 --> 0:29:16.480 your uncle? Are they feeding you? You look thin? I 0:29:16.600 --> 0:29:19.560 have to get back to two many, back to my work. 0:29:22.200 --> 0:29:26.080 You know what happened there? It was a bad time. 0:29:26.720 --> 0:29:30.480 Are you still saying that you saw Alkin? You know 0:29:30.560 --> 0:29:34.600 how that hurt me? I do, and I'm sorry for it. 0:29:35.480 --> 0:29:44.240 I saw nothing. I understand that now Alkin is dead, Yes, 0:29:45.240 --> 0:29:49.840 executed in the Grand Square. We both saw it. We 0:29:49.960 --> 0:29:52.360 lit her pier and pushed it out to see. Yes. Yes, 0:29:54.680 --> 0:30:01.040 and I am better. M hmm. They tell me that 0:30:01.120 --> 0:30:05.120 you attacked one of your orderlies. He was injured quite badly. 0:30:05.320 --> 0:30:09.640 That's not true. You need time, uncle, Uncle. The way 0:30:09.680 --> 0:30:14.200 you were behaving, going around asking impossible questions, having walls 0:30:14.280 --> 0:30:19.600 knocked down, looking for secret passageways, You're anger. You're lucky 0:30:19.640 --> 0:30:23.920 to be alive. Mistress Fatma wanted you to be well. 0:30:24.040 --> 0:30:27.200 It's only because of my loyalty to you, because father 0:30:27.360 --> 0:30:29.800 trusted you after she killed cool and you allow her 0:30:29.840 --> 0:30:32.880 to rule the side you. She doesn't rule, Uncle, I rule. 0:30:33.440 --> 0:30:36.040 I am the sultana and I am just another madman 0:30:36.080 --> 0:30:39.120 in the palace of the Blind. You get me out 0:30:39.200 --> 0:30:44.360 of here now, it's all right, it's all right. I 0:30:44.400 --> 0:30:49.880 can handle him. You need rest and calm to manbey 0:30:49.920 --> 0:30:53.440 is a dangerous place, and you, Uncle, you need to 0:30:53.440 --> 0:31:08.240 get better, says yes. Cadi is now my grand vizier Uncle, 0:31:08.280 --> 0:31:11.880 and I'm the one in a madhouse. Cadali is a traitor. 0:31:11.960 --> 0:31:14.720 He tried to overthrow you. I know, Uncle, how can 0:31:14.760 --> 0:31:21.320 you trust him? I trust him to serve himself. In 0:31:21.440 --> 0:31:24.280 these times. We don't need saints. We need a man 0:31:24.320 --> 0:31:26.280 who is wise to the evil of this world and 0:31:26.360 --> 0:31:30.520 walks its path like a friend. Whatever has been lost, 0:31:30.960 --> 0:31:34.960 he knows where it is, all the secrets, all the 0:31:35.040 --> 0:31:48.160 hidden places. Wait, Uncle, listen to me. I need you. 0:31:48.160 --> 0:31:51.840 You need to get better. I need you, uncle. Do 0:31:51.880 --> 0:32:03.959 you understand? Should I allow the men to prepare the horses, majesty? Yes, 0:32:04.440 --> 0:32:08.960 there's no more to be gained here. We will ride overnight. Hello, 0:32:09.880 --> 0:32:11.920 is there something I can help you? Stand back? Do 0:32:11.960 --> 0:32:14.840 not approach the Sultana. You should probably go back to 0:32:14.880 --> 0:32:18.200 the women's quarters. Friend, they will be worried. They're probably 0:32:18.200 --> 0:32:20.680 looking for you already. I don't know what this fellow 0:32:20.720 --> 0:32:23.080 is saying. Fellow is going to cut off your head 0:32:23.120 --> 0:32:26.720 if you don't step back. You have a sword? Are 0:32:26.760 --> 0:32:30.760 you really? They said it was a young woman, the 0:32:30.800 --> 0:32:35.360 new Sultana, is it? Is it really, your majesty? Yes, 0:32:35.720 --> 0:32:39.040 it is me. What are you doing here? Sorry? I 0:32:39.040 --> 0:32:42.600 didn't mean any disrespect. It's just I've never although I 0:32:42.640 --> 0:32:45.160 was brought up in a palace. It was forgive me 0:32:45.320 --> 0:32:51.840 a scene. Do you remind me of someone? Oh? Yes, oh, 0:32:52.200 --> 0:32:55.280 my sister. We were brought up in a palace, and 0:32:55.320 --> 0:32:57.880 then we were sent on a journey through the desert. 0:32:57.960 --> 0:33:01.760 It was very hard, Majesty. We should be going, of course, 0:33:02.520 --> 0:33:06.320 Please please let me show you the way out. We 0:33:06.360 --> 0:33:08.400 know exactly where we are going. Of course, you do 0:33:09.240 --> 0:33:19.960 travel safely, majesty, go full moment, God, I will score 0:33:20.040 --> 0:33:27.000 my friend here back to his quarters. Come friends. I'm 0:33:27.040 --> 0:33:30.920 so sorry about the small misunderstanding. You know, last night 0:33:30.920 --> 0:33:35.040 at dinner between us and the time before, I hadn't 0:33:35.080 --> 0:33:39.680 realized well obviously, when the Sultana graced us with are 0:33:39.720 --> 0:33:44.200 we all right? What do you mean? You must understand? 0:33:44.480 --> 0:33:48.800 I have my duties? Are we all right? You? And 0:33:48.880 --> 0:33:55.080 I M good? Thank you? So she came all this 0:33:55.200 --> 0:33:59.560 way to see you. It's very well. Let's something, Commander, 0:33:59.800 --> 0:34:09.399 that's something here. We are anything you need anything at all? 0:34:09.680 --> 0:34:22.040 You just let me know. H m hmm. Should I 0:34:22.080 --> 0:34:28.799 bring more hot water? Majesty? No? Where have you been 0:34:30.239 --> 0:34:35.520 hunting a new falcons all night? I was worried? Why 0:34:35.520 --> 0:34:40.640 didn't you tell me? I don't know. I didn't think to. 0:34:40.800 --> 0:34:45.160 These are dangerous times. We can't have the Sultana just 0:34:45.360 --> 0:34:48.880 disappearing into the desert. I have my God, yes, but 0:34:53.200 --> 0:34:58.799 I wanted you in my bed last night. I don't 0:34:58.840 --> 0:35:06.240 like it when you're not there. I miss our little conversations. 0:35:07.320 --> 0:35:12.080 How we amuse each other when we can't sleep. M 0:35:17.560 --> 0:35:19.919 don't you love your mother? Of course I do. It's 0:35:20.000 --> 0:35:22.799 just you didn't invite me to the desert. I might 0:35:22.840 --> 0:35:27.479 have enjoyed it. Do you hunt? Have you trained a whole? 0:35:27.480 --> 0:35:30.759 But I would have enjoyed being with you, sharing your 0:35:30.800 --> 0:35:37.200 pleasure mother and daughter. I should have thought of us, Yes, yes, 0:35:37.239 --> 0:35:44.160 you should have thought anyway, It's good that you are 0:35:44.200 --> 0:35:48.480 finally here. We have a council meeting, so I'm gonnish 0:35:48.480 --> 0:35:59.040 your bath and slave tender Sultana, no other matters. It 0:35:59.160 --> 0:36:02.680 seems that an number of caravans heading out of the 0:36:02.719 --> 0:36:05.640 city have been turned back at the city gates by 0:36:05.680 --> 0:36:09.440 who the ball Iraq. They say they are to increase 0:36:09.520 --> 0:36:12.080 their numbers on the city gates for the protection of 0:36:12.160 --> 0:36:16.319 tuman Bay. They say they fear certain precious items are 0:36:16.360 --> 0:36:21.640 being looted from many of the city's great buildings. Ridiculous, outrageous, 0:36:21.719 --> 0:36:25.680 Quite so, Mistress Phedoma. It's a ploy to increase their 0:36:25.719 --> 0:36:30.400 influence over the city. My understanding is, forgive me, mistress, 0:36:30.400 --> 0:36:33.080 if I speak, I don't need to remind you that 0:36:33.120 --> 0:36:37.080 you are only here because your skills and connections are 0:36:37.160 --> 0:36:40.319 of particular value, of course, of course, and I am 0:36:40.400 --> 0:36:44.640 here to help to put things right between us for 0:36:44.800 --> 0:36:48.680 tuman Bay. I love tuman Bar Above all else, of 0:36:48.719 --> 0:36:52.880 course I do well. The only thing holding the Ballorak 0:36:53.000 --> 0:36:56.320 in check at the moment is my army is doing nothing. 0:36:56.680 --> 0:36:59.400 It has camped outside the city walls. Is not anyone 0:36:59.520 --> 0:37:02.440 appreci shade what I am doing for this city. My 0:37:02.600 --> 0:37:05.719 army maintains the balance. They don't do it out of 0:37:05.760 --> 0:37:09.480 the goodness of their hearts. They need gold. I need 0:37:09.600 --> 0:37:13.520 gold to pay them. We don't have gold. You dari 0:37:13.560 --> 0:37:15.279 are supposed to be good at getting gold. It's what 0:37:15.360 --> 0:37:19.680 you promised that you could always find more gold. Well, yes, 0:37:19.719 --> 0:37:23.640 there are bankers operating in the city from across the 0:37:23.680 --> 0:37:28.839 Middle Sea, from a Inca, and I imagine they're still 0:37:28.840 --> 0:37:33.840
