And how is 0:00:47.159 --> 0:00:50.720 the how is the jousting? Master taught that little ship 0:00:50.800 --> 0:00:56.000 the less and his family watching from the stands, smiling 0:00:56.160 --> 0:01:01.360 smugly till I wiped their son's complacent ass.

I mean he had to go I know 0:01:38.120 --> 0:01:43.399 you don't im We met at the temple quil right 0:01:44.280 --> 0:01:49.640 or a quel? Are you? You're looking for employment?

You should sit? 0:01:53.320 --> 0:01:58.200 It would be better better less painful than less painful 0:01:58.280 --> 0:02:03.480 than sorry? Did that hurt? I'm so sorry. I just 0:02:03.520 --> 0:02:06.720 need to open up your wound a touch more, and 0:02:07.000 --> 0:02:17.919 don't thank you. You did very well. Relax now, honestly, 0:02:18.000 --> 0:02:24.280 I think that's best dying. You are, yeah, but not 0:02:24.400 --> 0:02:26.720 to worry. Let me take a moment or two. Actually 0:02:27.800 --> 0:02:32.200 it works out very well things considered. Everyone will assume 0:02:32.200 --> 0:02:35.880 it was the wound. It came back to your quarters, 0:02:35.880 --> 0:02:40.840 took off your armor, and well, oh, it was a drink. 0:02:41.720 --> 0:02:44.080 If you're wondering why your tongue has swollen to the 0:02:44.080 --> 0:02:49.839 point where you cannot speak, just try to relax. There's 0:02:49.880 --> 0:02:51.679 nothing you can do now, and it won't take long. 0:02:52.280 --> 0:02:57.080 I'll wait with you. Did you know that in the 0:02:57.120 --> 0:03:02.200 desert of Thar there's a wind samoon wind, I think 0:03:02.240 --> 0:03:10.720 the sky. Let's call it simoon moveen hm. It's from 0:03:10.720 --> 0:03:14.440 one of the ancient tongues. It blows up from time 0:03:14.480 --> 0:03:18.840 to time, and those whom it overtakes it not only kills. Indeed, 0:03:18.880 --> 0:03:21.079 I was told that when a man is killed by 0:03:21.120 --> 0:03:24.320 that wind, and his friends wished to wash him for burial, 0:03:25.800 --> 0:03:32.760 all his limbs fall apart. A strange world we're doing, 0:03:33.360 --> 0:03:36.080 And who knows what's up there in the air, in 0:03:36.120 --> 0:03:38.440 the sky above our heads. Look up there, how far 0:03:39.120 --> 0:03:43.120 can you really see? We all should do that, We 0:03:43.160 --> 0:03:46.640 all should take a moment away from the hurly burley 0:03:46.680 --> 0:03:49.840 of the street and our preoccupations and squabbles, and just 0:03:51.480 --> 0:03:54.920 observed the sky. What's not there? Where does it go? 0:03:55.280 --> 0:04:03.040 How far? Forgive me? I didn't quite why. Why it's 0:04:03.080 --> 0:04:06.960 my job? I'm oh. By the way, it's not Aquila 0:04:07.240 --> 0:04:09.880 with my name now. People often get it wrong. It's okay, 0:04:10.120 --> 0:04:17.440 hard edged like kiln a killer. H People find that funny. 0:04:17.480 --> 0:04:19.520 You know it's because of what I do well, they 0:04:19.560 --> 0:04:24.080 initially find it funny. Really end my acquaintance with anyone 0:04:24.120 --> 0:04:29.320 on humorous terms any rate. I've been summoned to to Monday, 0:04:29.520 --> 0:04:33.800 so I'll have to take my leave. Congratulations again or 0:04:33.920 --> 0:04:51.599 jousting to Monday? Season four, episode three, pronounced a killer 0:04:52.360 --> 0:05:06.360 by mac Rogers. What day, my friend? Can I help you? 0:05:07.040 --> 0:05:12.080 What's this? One? Bull? Bull from the Upper Mountains? Cans? 0:05:12.680 --> 0:05:15.040 But they sing a pretty song. It depends if you 0:05:15.160 --> 0:05:19.479 take good care of them. I've heard enough of this. 0:05:19.640 --> 0:05:23.120 Move on. You've been standing here too long. But you 0:05:23.200 --> 0:05:26.040 think I'm a fool. You think I don't know you're 0:05:26.120 --> 0:05:28.800 one of those crazy sky rats. I don't know what 0:05:28.839 --> 0:05:30.800 you're up to, but I know you're not interested in 0:05:30.839 --> 0:05:33.799 buying my birds. I know you moved stuff around the city, 0:05:34.440 --> 0:05:38.919 stuff that shouldn't be moved. What are you talking about? 0:05:39.279 --> 0:05:44.440 And the linings of bird cages? What do you want? 0:05:45.440 --> 0:05:53.039 Your help getting a bird out of the cage? Shure? 0:05:53.240 --> 0:05:55.360 They say it would be easy for a skyra. Are 0:05:55.400 --> 0:05:58.880 you joking? They say it drops right down into the yard. Frog. 0:05:59.080 --> 0:06:02.520 There is nothing you could say that would make me. Oh, 0:06:03.920 --> 0:06:07.039 can I help you? Offendi? I'm looking for lodgings and 0:06:07.120 --> 0:06:13.520 your establishment comes highly recommended, Ma, Ma, man almost know 0:06:13.560 --> 0:06:18.160 if we have a vacancy, Yes, sir, how many nights? 0:06:18.600 --> 0:06:21.440 I'm not sure yet. The first time in Tay, I'm 0:06:21.480 --> 0:06:25.719 here for a funeral my uncle. Let me show you 0:06:25.760 --> 0:06:33.080 what's wrongs. We have very kind. Look, it's no problem 0:06:33.120 --> 0:06:36.400 breaking into the prison. It's getting out that's difficult. We're 0:06:36.400 --> 0:06:38.720 both skyrats. We can climb. We know how to get 0:06:38.760 --> 0:06:42.200 into places. Wronger, I don't know. I have responsibilities now 0:06:43.960 --> 0:06:46.920 I'm here, Ma, I'm still with a friend. Don't you 0:06:46.960 --> 0:06:49.680 want to get up on the kites again? Remember how 0:06:49.720 --> 0:06:52.400 it used to be when we were free? No one 0:06:52.600 --> 0:06:58.520 could stop us. Don't you want that again? Coming? Ma? 0:06:59.320 --> 0:07:12.240 There's got to be more exciting than this macnificent, isn't it. 0:07:13.000 --> 0:07:15.680 I feel as though I can't see half of two 0:07:15.680 --> 0:07:19.200 Monday from here, but that's exactly the point, because it's 0:07:19.200 --> 0:07:22.840 so very small from here, whereas I, being so much 0:07:22.840 --> 0:07:27.200 closer to you, I am so very large. Indeed, Madam, 0:07:27.240 --> 0:07:31.720 that is what we call perspective. So why don't you 0:07:31.760 --> 0:07:35.119 make a few preliminary sketches while I speak with Madame Fatt. 0:07:35.160 --> 0:07:37.880 Please don't interrupt me whilst I'm talking to the great artist. 0:07:39.000 --> 0:07:44.280 Forgive me, madam mhmm. You'll paint me here, the highest 0:07:44.440 --> 0:07:49.760 position on the walls. This is how history will remember me, Fatima, 0:07:50.200 --> 0:07:56.119 mother of the Empire, and she will sit at my feet, 0:07:56.160 --> 0:07:59.680 of course, my hand resting on her shoulder, Mother, and 0:08:00.560 --> 0:08:04.360 gazing out into the distance. The fires in the school wonderful, wonderful, 0:08:04.400 --> 0:08:09.000 And the grandmaster, the Balara I only wish to clarify. 0:08:09.040 --> 0:08:11.200 He will be there, of course, standing somewhere below. Make 0:08:11.240 --> 0:08:14.240 sure his head is no higher than my feet while 0:08:14.280 --> 0:08:16.880 I'm here. Of course, of course I think all the time. 0:08:16.920 --> 0:08:20.120 You need, and you're anything you need, You need only 0:08:20.200 --> 0:08:27.640 to ask, Madam. It's important that we discuss well. Usually, 0:08:28.160 --> 0:08:32.760 under normal circumstances, a great artist like Signor Piero wouldn't 0:08:32.760 --> 0:08:37.240 start work before the down the head steward, yes, well 0:08:37.320 --> 0:08:40.440 I have, and he said I should speak to the bookkeeper, 0:08:40.880 --> 0:08:43.679 and the bookkeeper said I should speak to the head eunuch, 0:08:43.960 --> 0:08:46.280 and I finally managed to find him, and he said 0:08:46.320 --> 0:08:48.960 he had no record of any payments due and that 0:08:49.040 --> 0:08:51.840 I needed to speak to the head steward. I went 0:08:51.880 --> 0:08:55.040 back to the head steward and he said nothing could 0:08:55.080 --> 0:09:02.040 be authorized without you signing an order, which, well, it 0:09:02.080 --> 0:09:05.199 will be done, madam. It is the custom, and it 0:09:05.320 --> 0:09:07.560 always has been, that there should be a payment before 0:09:07.559 --> 0:09:12.360 work begins. Signor Piero is the greatest artist in the world. 0:09:13.040 --> 0:09:15.400 There is constant demand for his work, and he has 0:09:15.440 --> 0:09:22.480 turned down many lucrative commissions to be here into Mambay. Madam, 0:09:22.520 --> 0:09:26.320 it's possible there's something wrong with my hearing, Signor is 0:09:26.360 --> 0:09:31.199 that it? Is there something wrong with my hearing? I'm 0:09:31.240 --> 0:09:33.560 not sure what you mean, because it sounds very much 0:09:33.679 --> 0:09:37.960 like you are questioning my word, Madam. As Signor Piero's assistant, 0:09:38.000 --> 0:09:40.120 it's my obligation. Do you take me for some sort 0:09:40.120 --> 0:09:44.360 of provincial am I caked in cheap face paint, draped 0:09:44.400 --> 0:09:46.640 in a gaudy shift that's coming apart of the scene 0:09:46.679 --> 0:09:49.560 not at all, Madam. Then I can't imagine where you 0:09:49.640 --> 0:09:51.760 get the idea that I don't know how to comport 0:09:51.840 --> 0:09:55.400 myself with men of culture. I can't imagine. I never 0:09:55.679 --> 0:10:03.600 said I certainly didn't mean to offend. It's a lovely 0:10:03.760 --> 0:10:09.120 view from these walls, don't you agree, Mistress Suspective? The 0:10:09.440 --> 0:10:14.720 great artist said yes, because we're so very high up. 0:10:16.120 --> 0:10:23.000 I suppose so, meaning that it's also quite a long 0:10:23.000 --> 0:10:32.800 way down. It's not just her, something's not right about 0:10:32.840 --> 0:10:38.040 this whole place. Smahan blue or green? Mahadi? What her eyes? 0:10:38.679 --> 0:10:42.000 I'm testing colors? Are you really going to paint exactly 0:10:42.040 --> 0:10:45.040 what she tells you to? I can paint exactly what 0:10:45.120 --> 0:10:48.360 she wants and still make her look like a vulgar 0:10:48.559 --> 0:10:52.320 fool at the center of it, and she won't even notice. 0:10:53.480 --> 0:10:59.000 This could be my masterpiece. Yes, but we need to 0:10:59.080 --> 0:11:02.120 be paid. Then see to it. I will, I am. 0:11:02.440 --> 0:11:06.320 But the more I see, the more I worry. What 0:11:06.440 --> 0:11:10.240 about the Sultana? What about her? Well? You do seem 0:11:10.280 --> 0:11:15.240 to get on. Ask her what's happening here? Perhaps she 0:11:15.480 --> 0:11:19.000 likes you? What do you mean who sees into the 0:11:19.040 --> 0:11:22.640 souls of others more clearly than I just be careful 0:11:23.200 --> 0:11:28.160 this mother daughter relationship. I don't think the Sultana says 0:11:28.200 --> 0:11:31.480 it's in quite the same way as Madame Fatima. Maybe 0:11:31.679 --> 0:11:35.160 you can find out whatever there is between Fatima and 0:11:35.200 --> 0:11:40.120 mannell business. I beg to disagree. It is a business 0:11:40.240 --> 0:11:43.560 of a great artist to know everything about his subjects. 0:11:44.960 --> 0:11:51.079 I'll contrive a meeting. Do it's too small? Paton on 0:11:51.160 --> 0:11:55.160 his shoulders, Mistress. Bring the meal closer. Boys, it's just 0:11:56.520 --> 0:12:00.760 fit me. Don't get any on slash. There's a good time, 0:12:00.840 --> 0:12:04.480 not now, I'm hosting lunch for the merchants of the city. 0:12:06.440 --> 0:12:08.760 Supers filth. Throw it out and tell the cook to 0:12:08.760 --> 0:12:11.160 start again. The full council and all the guilt heads 0:12:11.160 --> 0:12:15.280 will be eating this. Yess apologies, mistress, but it's not unrelated. 0:12:15.600 --> 0:12:18.840 If Indy Pillar, the banker we met, if you recall, 0:12:19.080 --> 0:12:21.959 is he coming to No, I'm afraid it, Stress. He 0:12:22.120 --> 0:12:25.960 sent word that he feels unable to assist us to 0:12:26.000 --> 0:12:29.200 the full extent of our request. Yes, this sash, but 0:12:29.280 --> 0:12:32.080 not the gown. Bring me something else. What are you 0:12:32.080 --> 0:12:35.960 telling me? He sends his best regards and deep regrets, 0:12:36.040 --> 0:12:38.959 but he's not able. I'm not interested in his best 0:12:39.000 --> 0:12:44.400 regards or his deep regrets. Why do you think I 0:12:44.440 --> 0:12:49.560 pardoned you? Godali? Why did I spare your life? You 0:12:49.640 --> 0:12:53.359 are supposed to have the contacts, and I have, mistress, 0:12:53.400 --> 0:12:56.200 and we have seen them, but I can't force. We 0:12:56.240 --> 0:13:03.040 need gold, Cadi tuman Bay needs gold. Surely there are others. 0:13:03.040 --> 0:13:05.439 There are, mistress, Yes, of course there are, and I'm 0:13:05.480 --> 0:13:13.160 trying to arrange. But there are concerns, concerns, concerns about 0:13:13.160 --> 0:13:21.960 what speak you're spending, mistress, my spending. Yes, we are 0:13:22.000 --> 0:13:26.080 talking about the rebuilding of the city, restoring confidence in 0:13:27.120 --> 0:13:32.000 in the dignity of the throne. You're right, of course ourselves. 0:13:32.120 --> 0:13:34.679 We to wear sack cloth and live like rats, scurrying 0:13:34.720 --> 0:13:38.320 around and that. Yes, this one, mistress, But let me 0:13:38.320 --> 0:13:42.280 see give it to me. You're changing. Perhaps I should 0:13:42.320 --> 0:13:44.920 return after you. You think I care what you see? 0:13:44.960 --> 0:13:50.280 Good Ali, when did you last have a thought of 0:13:50.280 --> 0:13:55.160 the flesh one's interests to moderate over the years? Suddenly, 0:13:55.360 --> 0:13:59.280 but her mistress is not. I'm sorry. How dare he 0:13:59.360 --> 0:14:02.800 turned me down? Impudent banker? Arrest him, put him in chains, 0:14:02.960 --> 0:14:05.800 let him faster in a dark cell. See how he 0:14:05.840 --> 0:14:09.200 likes that? I'm sure if d p La would not 0:14:09.280 --> 0:14:12.040 like that one. I am the mother of the empire. 0:14:12.240 --> 0:14:15.880 No one treats me like some peasant with their feet 0:14:15.880 --> 0:14:17.480 in the mud. No one tells me what to do. 0:14:18.559 --> 0:14:23.600 I tell them, of course, Mistress, without question, only if 0:14:23.640 --> 0:14:28.480 I may advise it may be unwise to arrest or 0:14:28.480 --> 0:14:31.920 threaten the bankers. All the money in Tuman Bay would 0:14:32.000 --> 0:14:36.640 dry up. Everything would dry up, All our trade would cease. 0:14:37.520 --> 0:14:40.040 You're saying that I may not in my own city, 0:14:40.240 --> 0:14:44.640 compel not from this city. His gold is not within 0:14:44.680 --> 0:14:48.200 our walls. If we threaten him the other bankers, they 0:14:48.200 --> 0:14:55.320 will simply disappear. We'll have nothing. Send him to me, 0:14:56.960 --> 0:15:03.360 Are you hard of hearing kad Ali? Send him to me, Yes, Mistress, 0:15:05.760 --> 0:15:08.400 Bring another gown and tell those fools in the kitchens. 0:15:08.400 --> 0:15:20.400 I need to taste the lamb of majesty. Oh senor Angel, 0:15:21.120 --> 0:15:24.440 isn't it I saw you walking out here? I hope 0:15:24.480 --> 0:15:32.920 you don't mind me, Please comm So these are the 0:15:32.960 --> 0:15:36.640 storied gardens of the Tumambai Palace you've greatly diminished. I'm 0:15:36.680 --> 0:15:40.560 afraid it's still beautiful, are they well? I can remember 0:15:40.600 --> 0:15:45.840 is what they were? So much color, so full of life. 0:15:47.000 --> 0:15:49.920 There used to be a thousand gardeners tending to every plant. 0:15:50.920 --> 0:15:55.960 There were fountains and streams. It's like a living painting 0:15:56.720 --> 0:16:00.080 the aqueduct right, I'm sorry. The lifeblood of the cis he. 0:16:00.760 --> 0:16:06.240 I heard the aqueduct was damaged during the occupation. It 0:16:06.360 --> 0:16:10.120 must have been a difficult time for you. Yes, it was, 0:16:10.960 --> 0:16:18.200 and I understand you helped repel the invaders. Yes, how 0:16:18.240 --> 0:16:23.560 can I help you? Signor angel? Oh, we have a 0:16:23.600 --> 0:16:29.120 small problem. Certain promises were made by Mistress Fatima Gold 0:16:29.200 --> 0:16:33.360 for the services of my master, but so far nothing 0:16:33.400 --> 0:16:37.040 has been forthcoming. He doesn't want to consider leaving. But 0:16:37.280 --> 0:16:42.440 under the circumstances you don't understand. Do you understand what? 0:16:45.240 --> 0:16:50.080 You are? Prisoners here? Even if you don't know it yet. Hm, 0:16:53.280 --> 0:16:59.160 I'm sorry even I am a prisoner here. Ah, this 0:16:59.320 --> 0:17:01.760 is it? What is this? He wanted to see the 0:17:01.840 --> 0:17:06.040 laboratory where the old Sultan made his perfumes. He said 0:17:06.440 --> 0:17:08.200 when we last met, that you'd like to see it. 0:17:09.080 --> 0:17:24.720 You remember that, of course? In here? Oh, I doubt 0:17:24.760 --> 0:17:31.960 anyone who has been in here for some time extraordinary. 0:17:32.720 --> 0:17:40.680 I'm confused, though you seem close close, you and hu mhm. 0:17:41.760 --> 0:17:48.160 Closeness comes in many different sense doesn't it now? For example, 0:17:48.240 --> 0:17:51.200 I had one sort of closeness with my husband, Herod, 0:17:51.920 --> 0:17:58.920 your husband sort of negotiated closeness. If you could bottle 0:17:59.000 --> 0:18:02.440 strategic alliar, it's as a scent, That's what it would 0:18:02.440 --> 0:18:09.600 smell like. Mm hmm. Where is he now? Killed in 0:18:09.720 --> 0:18:12.399 one of those palace coups we seem to have as 0:18:12.440 --> 0:18:17.040 regularly as summers, along with my vizier. What was his name? 0:18:17.480 --> 0:18:26.680 Her name was Alkin? If I may, majesty, there's quite 0:18:26.880 --> 0:18:33.720 a different sense coming off that name. Have I offended, Majesty? No, 0:18:33.960 --> 0:18:36.439 not at all. I'm just looking for a particular bottle 0:18:38.200 --> 0:18:52.960 here it is. Try this one. Mm hm hm. You're 0:18:53.000 --> 0:18:56.240 at the last for words? Do you load it? No? 0:18:57.840 --> 0:18:59.600 I think I might love it more than any scent 0:18:59.760 --> 0:19:04.800 I've ever experienced. Only but it doesn't smell like anything 0:19:04.880 --> 0:19:09.560 else I've ever liked. Mhm. That was her favorite scent. 0:19:13.440 --> 0:19:17.040 I'm so very sorry you lost her. I didn't lose her. 0:19:17.800 --> 0:19:21.359 She was taken from me, hanged like a common pickpocket 0:19:21.400 --> 0:19:26.800 by that man CADALIDI doesn't he serve Fatima? Now? Does he? 0:19:27.359 --> 0:19:32.880 Is that the same Cadali? I'm a stranger to Tom Bay, 0:19:33.440 --> 0:19:36.440 so of course, I wouldn't understand all of your customs. 0:19:38.680 --> 0:19:43.880 I'm not sure I do. What is Fatima's role here exactly? 0:19:45.200 --> 0:19:49.440 You're the Sultana. I understand what the Sultana is. I 0:19:49.520 --> 0:19:53.680 don't understand what she is. Why she's the mother of 0:19:53.760 --> 0:19:58.639 the empires in your angel and I adore her as 0:19:58.720 --> 0:20:03.920 if she were my own. Yes, I can see that. 0:20:14.480 --> 0:20:17.440 Once again, I approached the gates of my beloved, awful 0:20:17.560 --> 0:20:21.480 Tuman Bay, the only place I really belonged, the only 0:20:21.560 --> 0:20:24.639 home I've ever really had. Only this time it's with 0:20:24.680 --> 0:20:27.760 a phalanx of Ballarak at my back, and I have 0:20:27.920 --> 0:20:33.640 no idea what's waiting for me inside the welcome back? 0:20:34.200 --> 0:20:37.280 Is it a welcome or is it something else? Bittle 0:20:37.400 --> 0:20:40.680 and escort you've got there, you know me, always making friends. 0:20:41.080 --> 0:20:44.280 We keep the city gates closed. Now, new orders the 0:20:44.359 --> 0:20:47.480 balak are tightening everything up and up. Talking. The Grandmaster 0:20:47.600 --> 0:20:49.560 said you ought to go to him straight away. Let 0:20:49.680 --> 0:21:00.280 them draw right on to the palace. The Grandmaster doesn't 0:21:00.280 --> 0:21:02.600 stay there. He prefers not to be tainted by the 0:21:02.640 --> 0:21:09.840 Sultana's court. We're going to the army quarter. Something has 0:21:09.920 --> 0:21:13.560 changed into Monday. What people there are stop? What they're 0:21:13.560 --> 0:21:19.280 doing and stare at us as we passed by. Open brother, brother, 0:21:22.600 --> 0:21:38.040 you can just spank Commander com with me in Comanda, 0:21:38.160 --> 0:21:42.960 Gregor a marble tent. Well, you should know your late 0:21:43.119 --> 0:21:47.320 brother general cool and had it made his headquarters. I 0:21:47.480 --> 0:21:51.720 believe I never ventured into the army quarter. My brother 0:21:51.800 --> 0:21:53.879 and I were close, but we were careful not to 0:21:53.960 --> 0:21:57.880 get in each other's way. You sent for me, I did. 0:21:58.160 --> 0:22:03.000 Will you have refreshments? Heaven? Are you know each other? 0:22:03.320 --> 0:22:06.840 I believe she the Grandmaster's prisoner. She has a different 0:22:07.000 --> 0:22:11.560 life now, or his confidant. She has found the righteous path. 0:22:11.800 --> 0:22:14.040 She could be useful again. And I thought the Balarak 0:22:14.119 --> 0:22:16.760 were an all male order, and so we are. But 0:22:16.920 --> 0:22:20.760 Heaven is special. She can read the ancient texts. She 0:22:20.960 --> 0:22:24.480 has earned her place among us. She is my eyes. 0:22:25.359 --> 0:22:31.040 Is there anything else you require? Grandmaster? No? Leave us eat, Commander, 0:22:31.400 --> 0:22:37.879 you'll need your strength. I have a task for you. 0:22:39.440 --> 0:22:44.480 I see well I'm at your command, Grandmaster. I have 0:22:44.600 --> 0:22:47.200 no doubt I just saved you from a house of 0:22:47.320 --> 0:22:50.480 the mad, more than your niece the Sultana did. Yes, 0:22:50.920 --> 0:22:54.280 as you say, Grandma or her adoptive, How does that 0:22:54.560 --> 0:22:58.200 make you feel? Greg Or? This woman fat him and 0:22:58.280 --> 0:23:00.800 murdering your brother and calling her of mother to your 0:23:00.880 --> 0:23:03.800 niece the sultan. How does that make you feel? I 0:23:03.920 --> 0:23:06.280 try never to feel anything until I know the facts. 0:23:07.040 --> 0:23:12.919 Emotion is really a reliable guide. They's sent you away 0:23:13.160 --> 0:23:18.560 because you're behaving like a madman, burbling tales of a 0:23:18.680 --> 0:23:23.720 dead woman walking. Remember have you heard your men digging 0:23:23.800 --> 0:23:28.520 in the cellars, destroying walls, looking for doors where they 0:23:28.600 --> 0:23:33.840 were none, sending your guard out into the streets questioning people. 0:23:34.119 --> 0:23:39.520 Have you seen this woman neglecting your job? No? Used 0:23:39.560 --> 0:23:44.880 to anyone, not even yourself. Perhaps your niece was right 0:23:45.160 --> 0:23:49.240 to send you to that place. I'm sure she was, 0:23:50.920 --> 0:23:52.680 But I'm a different man now. That is all in 0:23:52.760 --> 0:23:59.159 the past. I've changed. Ah, Then I suppose you won't 0:23:59.160 --> 0:24:04.640 be interested in the sightings? What sightings this woman alkin? 0:24:05.840 --> 0:24:15.240 That wouldn't concern you anymore? I yes, that little catch 0:24:15.440 --> 0:24:19.680 in your throat? What could your face possibly reveal in 0:24:19.760 --> 0:24:24.239 this moment that your voice hasn't already given away? How 0:24:24.359 --> 0:24:28.440 can I serve you? Grandmaster? Who is Alcin greg Or? 0:24:28.880 --> 0:24:34.320 Is she Maya Maya's forces were destroying? Or perhaps perhaps not? 0:24:35.119 --> 0:24:38.960 Does Maya have a hidden army into men by, she 0:24:39.160 --> 0:24:44.199 said she would return. Is there a soldier within every 0:24:44.359 --> 0:24:49.440 washerwoman and brick carrier waiting for a signal, a whisper 0:24:49.600 --> 0:24:52.960 from mouth to ear to take up ums to reconquer? 0:24:54.280 --> 0:24:57.840 Is my an invasive wasp who has injected a progeny 0:24:57.920 --> 0:25:01.679 into the very body of two men a seditious eggs, 0:25:01.720 --> 0:25:05.200 acts that will hatch and burst out of their hosts 0:25:05.600 --> 0:25:10.719 and bring about Maya's final triumph, the queen of this world? 0:25:12.200 --> 0:25:15.560 What do you want from me? Then you're going to 0:25:15.800 --> 0:25:20.560 investigate these sightings of this alcin. I need to know 0:25:20.720 --> 0:25:24.600 if this is some impostor pretending to be a dead woman, 0:25:25.520 --> 0:25:27.840 or if there is more to it than that. Is 0:25:27.960 --> 0:25:33.720 she involved in the disappearance of the halfees? What he 0:25:33.840 --> 0:25:37.720 has vanished? No one knows where. Wasn't it guarded up 0:25:37.800 --> 0:25:41.840 to a point? But remember Gregor we Ballereca principally here 0:25:41.880 --> 0:25:46.280 to help and advise, not to God, where's the half 0:25:46.280 --> 0:25:49.639 He's important to you? He's an old drunk. That's not 0:25:49.880 --> 0:25:54.400 the man. It's what he represents in his person, his position, 0:25:54.480 --> 0:25:58.240 the line of succession from the teacher until now. He 0:25:59.119 --> 0:26:03.600 is the one who opens the door that we shall 0:26:03.960 --> 0:26:09.800 pass through his presence. It's crucial now. He can't have 0:26:09.880 --> 0:26:13.200 gone far, so draw on whatever context you still have 0:26:14.240 --> 0:26:18.040 and bring him back when me. We'll not use your 0:26:18.080 --> 0:26:21.240 own people. You know this city like no other, every alley, 0:26:21.400 --> 0:26:25.720 every cellar, every secret. So I am free to go. 0:26:27.280 --> 0:26:32.440 The city is yours Heaven, Grandmaster, Heaven will give you 0:26:32.520 --> 0:26:41.000 what you need this way, Commander the Seal and the 0:26:41.080 --> 0:26:44.200 Grandmaster the sigil of the Ballarach stamped in wax on 0:26:44.280 --> 0:26:47.280 fine parchment. It will allow you free movement throughout him 0:26:47.359 --> 0:26:52.160 and me, and hopefully this will loosen enough tongus very adequate. 0:26:52.280 --> 0:26:55.080 Thank you, And I need you to do something else 0:26:55.160 --> 0:26:58.160 for me. What would that be? The Grandmaster has brought 0:26:58.200 --> 0:27:01.080 me back to find half fees? Is that really what 0:27:01.200 --> 0:27:03.480 he wants? Was there some other purpose? I need you 0:27:03.520 --> 0:27:07.280 to find out what the grand Master really I'm sorry 0:27:07.320 --> 0:27:10.359 for what I'm not doing anything for you that is 0:27:10.400 --> 0:27:14.000 in the expressed order of the Grandmaster. But heaven't we 0:27:14.280 --> 0:27:19.240 what we have an understanding? Do we? Not? No more 0:27:19.320 --> 0:27:23.800 murmured requests, Gregor. I'm not your tool anymore. I protected 0:27:23.880 --> 0:27:26.800 your husband and child. I have no husband or child 0:27:27.560 --> 0:27:30.679 the Ballarack or my family you have nothing to hold 0:27:30.720 --> 0:27:35.200 over me anymore. Be grateful you've been given any sort 0:27:35.240 --> 0:27:37.840 of second chance at all. Come back when you have 0:27:37.920 --> 0:27:49.320 Alkin or the Huffy's or both open Robert open, you 0:27:49.400 --> 0:27:56.439 may bask com thank you Alkin the Haffees. I need 0:27:56.480 --> 0:27:59.760 to go somewhere safe. Where do I know that's safe? 0:28:04.600 --> 0:28:08.760 Rooms available today? Is that so? Where is the lady 0:28:08.800 --> 0:28:13.480 at the house? Why? Because I'd like to see her. Ma, 0:28:14.800 --> 0:28:19.600 there's a man here? Well, wow, there's money. I need 0:28:19.640 --> 0:28:23.280 a room, of course, Commander just if Endy Gregor will do. 0:28:23.520 --> 0:28:26.359 I'm not a commander anymore. I'm sorry to hear that. 0:28:26.880 --> 0:28:28.679 If I had known you were coming out the reserved 0:28:28.720 --> 0:28:32.240 our finest room, but that has been taken by Acquila. Hello, 0:28:32.600 --> 0:28:35.119 this is my new guest, Acquila. Are you saying a 0:28:35.240 --> 0:28:39.600 killer is pronounced? A killer? Please to me? And this 0:28:39.760 --> 0:28:42.640 is Commander Gregor. Just greg Can I go, please go 0:28:42.800 --> 0:28:46.800 where you're supposed to be cleaning your skyret friend promised 0:28:46.880 --> 0:28:51.600 him what young today? My room and he will do. Well. 0:28:51.640 --> 0:28:54.960 I need is a couch. Let me see wonderful city. 0:28:56.200 --> 0:28:57.800 I want to see as many of the sights of 0:28:57.880 --> 0:28:59.719 this great city as I can while i'm here. I'm 0:29:00.040 --> 0:29:02.760 it they're not what they once were. Well, I once 0:29:02.840 --> 0:29:04.840 went deep in the desert in search of the ancient 0:29:04.880 --> 0:29:07.760 city of Cause you heard of it. Let's say, if 0:29:07.800 --> 0:29:10.840 you have the opportunity to travel only once in your life, 0:29:11.000 --> 0:29:12.920 Cause is the place you should visit. That's what the 0:29:12.960 --> 0:29:17.200 books say. And so, after many days of arduous travel, 0:29:17.280 --> 0:29:19.080 what did I see about? A collection of mud hearts? 0:29:19.120 --> 0:29:23.120 Moster them without these? Forgive me? I found the room good? 0:29:23.240 --> 0:29:25.080 Can you put my bags? And they were impressed? For time? 0:29:25.240 --> 0:29:29.640 Of course, perhaps we can continue this fascinating conversation later. Yes, 0:29:29.680 --> 0:29:31.960 of course. Now I do tend to go on. What 0:29:32.040 --> 0:29:34.920 are you doing here, commander? I'm not I really do 0:29:35.120 --> 0:29:37.840 have to of course. Of course you're a busy man. 0:29:37.880 --> 0:29:39.960 I can see that. What did they say, the old 0:29:40.040 --> 0:29:45.120 saying a busy man? Is? I have to go until 0:29:45.240 --> 0:29:54.960 next time, Commander the Bank of moldi Pla and his son. 0:29:56.800 --> 0:29:59.280 I'm sorry. I thought we were here to see the Sultana. 0:30:00.640 --> 0:30:05.400 You're here to see me sit Affendi, Pila and son. 0:30:09.080 --> 0:30:13.120 I'm not from here, you know. I'm from the Eastern province, 0:30:13.200 --> 0:30:20.320 well Amber province originally. You're from Vinca. I believe that's right, 0:30:21.000 --> 0:30:25.680 m yes, where are you from? Cadali? I came as 0:30:25.760 --> 0:30:28.840 a slave, like so many others. I have no idea 0:30:28.960 --> 0:30:31.960 where from, for I was a mere child when I arrived. 0:30:32.440 --> 0:30:35.440 Everyone in tuman Bay is from somewhere else. It seems 0:30:35.920 --> 0:30:39.560 this great city is at the center, always drawing in 0:30:39.760 --> 0:30:43.800 from every corner. Do you know what I've always loved 0:30:43.840 --> 0:30:46.200 best about human bayar offendi Pila? Why I am so 0:30:46.520 --> 0:30:51.600 honored to be Mother of the Empire? No, no, I don't. 0:30:52.320 --> 0:30:54.920 It is that tuman Bay is a city of laws. 0:30:56.720 --> 0:30:59.760 For example, laws that give justice to you and your 0:30:59.760 --> 0:31:04.080 family for the tragic murder of your father. Tuman Base 0:31:04.200 --> 0:31:08.040 thrives because of the laws that make trade fair to 0:31:08.280 --> 0:31:12.640 one and all. A man seeking to trade or run 0:31:12.720 --> 0:31:16.160 a business here knows that he is protected by those laws. 0:31:16.760 --> 0:31:19.520 Not even a saultan or the Mother of the Empire 0:31:20.360 --> 0:31:23.400 can cheat him. It is why we all love Tumana. 0:31:23.560 --> 0:31:28.840 Do you love tuman Bay? Of course? Then why don't 0:31:28.840 --> 0:31:34.000 you do your duty to it? My duty? The loan, 0:31:35.200 --> 0:31:38.000 Madam Fatima, We have to assess the worst. Now you 0:31:38.080 --> 0:31:41.680 are saying tuman Bay has no worth, not at all, Madam. 0:31:42.160 --> 0:31:45.080 Merely that we see that so much of Tuman based 0:31:45.080 --> 0:31:49.280 resources are being spent in ways that are unlikely to 0:31:49.480 --> 0:31:53.719 bring a return. If you're referring to the paintings, the art, 0:31:53.760 --> 0:31:57.200 the very modest amount of clothing and jewels, the sutana, 0:31:57.320 --> 0:32:00.560
