Speaker 1: Just imagine real stones falling from the sky. Perhaps we
Speaker 1: will find them lying in the desert. It seems to
Speaker 1: me that only someone who has great depths within, who
Speaker 1: has known both hope and suffering, could have made this place.
Speaker 1: You still have a long way to travel. Tara can
Speaker 1: win most of the battle even before the fighting starts.
Speaker 1: You gave it the second dose. Yes, majesty, it should
Speaker 1: live a quite confused, quite weak. Quite that's the girl
Speaker 1: after all, Oh, yes, mistress, without question. I made it
Speaker 1: once for the old sultan allegory. He used it to
Speaker 1: drive his brother's chief wife insane, and it worked. She
Speaker 1: killed herself. And now m hm, now, my darling, you
Speaker 1: know this hurts my heart, don't you, my beautiful child,
Speaker 1: But I am doing this for you. But now, ah,
Speaker 1: when you didn't come yesterday, I feel and I help
Speaker 1: you with anything ground viz Here, I was looking for her, majesty,
Speaker 1: the Sultana. Oh yes, yes, is she her majesty? This
Speaker 1: will Tarna is indisposed, indisposed, indisposed, I can promise you, Vizier,
Speaker 1: she would want to see me. You are a guest
Speaker 1: in our city, and if I may offer you some advice,
Speaker 1: I think you would do better to concentrate your efforts
Speaker 1: on assisting your master with his great painting. Well, he
Speaker 1: needs the Sultana for that, he needs access to her
Speaker 1: living visage. He has asked me to find out when
Speaker 1: she might be available. Then your master can put in
Speaker 1: a request with the head steward. Thank you for your visit.
Speaker 1: Oh are you used to here? It's an impressive collection.
Speaker 1: The viewing devices, I mean, polished domes of glass, magnifying light,
Speaker 1: an extraordinary concept. Telescopes, yes, that's what they call them. Yes,
Speaker 1: the old Sultana Algory was a great collector of such things.
Speaker 1: He had a particular interest in the skies, watching the stars,
Speaker 1: looking for the signs in the heavens. I'm more down
Speaker 1: to earth for my part. I trust you can find
Speaker 1: your own way out. Yes, thank you, Oh and signor
Speaker 1: don't come back into this part of the palace again.
Speaker 1: It's not for guests. Good day to you, Panel Vanilla Vanelle.
Speaker 1: Are you in there? Yes? It worries me to but
Speaker 1: less Fatima's or does what? Very specific branelanell I speaking
Speaker 1: to it's angel, Oh my, what's happened to you? My darling?
Speaker 1: What do you want? It's me Mannell. It's Angel nurse.
Speaker 1: I'm Angel Mannell. What I'm lost? I just got lost,
Speaker 1: got lost in the Sultanas game. I'm leaving. I'm leaving.
Speaker 1: I just got lost. God, what have they done to her? To? Monday,
Speaker 1: Season four, Episode six, Secret Garden by Mac Rogers. It's
Speaker 1: barely dawn and I'm already at work. If Heaven is right,
Speaker 1: if the Herfeez has made his home in the supposed garden,
Speaker 1: I need to know, Gregor Wait? Does this man never sleep?
Speaker 1: Must to take him everywhere? This isn't a good time
Speaker 1: a killer. Look at you rising before dawn, that purposeful gait.
Speaker 1: Where are we going? What? Just a bit higher? Look
Speaker 1: at it? Knew that vista'd the Tower of the Adulterers.
Speaker 1: This is the sort of thing I wanted to see
Speaker 1: when I came to Tommy, because I think you get
Speaker 1: the drift. It's high, very very high, and when you're
Speaker 1: a sky rat, that's all that matters. Are you ready
Speaker 1: wait to frog the strap? Here? For us? Careless means dead.
Speaker 1: I think we've got some What happened to Spider? Are
Speaker 1: you too ready? We're ready to fly, but it would
Speaker 1: help to know what we're looking for. Yes, I don't
Speaker 1: know much. I know it's a garden, and I know
Speaker 1: it should be roughly here. See. I don't recognize half
Speaker 1: of this well, it's a horridly sketched copy from an
Speaker 1: ancient scroll. It's a wonder you recognize any of it.
Speaker 1: And right now, sad to say, it's my best lead
Speaker 1: if heaven can be trusted. But when you can still see,
Speaker 1: are the five hills are there? Then they're there. Now
Speaker 1: use them to fix your position. Fly out towards the
Speaker 1: golden spire there, and then turn left and follow the
Speaker 1: passage of the aqueduct. You're looking for any kind of
Speaker 1: disruption to the buildings, trees, grass. I don't know. It
Speaker 1: may be hidden behind walls, under arches. The main thing
Speaker 1: is it won't be visible from street level. We've got
Speaker 1: it ready, frog, We'll land down there in the square. Careful, careful,
Speaker 1: if you watch, watch this remarkable, isn't it. I've never
Speaker 1: seen anything like it in my life. They're flying through
Speaker 1: the air like great birds. Used to be dozens of
Speaker 1: sky rats here in the time of the Old Sultan.
Speaker 1: Every morning, as the sun rose and the winds came
Speaker 1: off the desert, you would see them, flocks of them
Speaker 1: over the city no longer, only these two. Careful Commander,
Speaker 1: you're slipping. Get your hands off me. Of course, of
Speaker 1: course I just thought you were gonna Your concern is touching. Look, commander,
Speaker 1: I'll give you my word the other day. If I
Speaker 1: meant you any ill, you would have been over the
Speaker 1: edge by now. Or maybe you thought I might take
Speaker 1: you with me. Do you think they'll find it? This
Speaker 1: garden of yours? I don't know. Maybe it's a myth.
Speaker 1: Maybe it was built over centuries ago. That's our signal. Well,
Speaker 1: the thing just slums houses, nothing like you said, no glass,
Speaker 1: no water, and no concealing trees. Well, at least I
Speaker 1: got to see the famous sky rats in flight. I
Speaker 1: wonder could you could you show me how to do it?
Speaker 1: You're too heavy. I wish I could dispute that, But
Speaker 1: alas I envy you truly. What are you packing up?
Speaker 1: We have to go again, trying to different directions. We
Speaker 1: have to go to work offended. I'm paying you. This
Speaker 1: is your work. The other work isn't about the money.
Speaker 1: Forgive my curiosity, but what is your other work? We
Speaker 1: build gallows, My goodness, we're carpenters, helping prepare for the
Speaker 1: Festival of Fires. Come on duty. By the way, Commander,
Speaker 1: my mother told me to tell you she has a
Speaker 1: message for you. I'm going back to the lodging now
Speaker 1: so I will butcher her son. He wants to see you,
Speaker 1: all right, at the same time tomorrow morning. Then as
Speaker 1: many times as you can pay. Of course, may I
Speaker 1: walk with you? Don't? Why do you want to find
Speaker 1: this garden so much? Anyway, It doesn't matter it's something
Speaker 1: hidden there or you want to hide something there. It's
Speaker 1: a safe place of some kind, isn't it. We have
Speaker 1: to find it. Before I could answer that question, listen, Gregor,
Speaker 1: my girls in that prison. They're going to hang her
Speaker 1: at the stupid Festival of the Fires. If you can
Speaker 1: get her out, I'll fly for you for nothing. I'm sorry, please,
Speaker 1: Gregor what I was frog, I can't open doors like
Speaker 1: I used to, especially not doors guarded by the ballarack.
Speaker 1: None of my old tricks work. They can't be bribed
Speaker 1: and can't be cultivated. I had to ask. I understand,
Speaker 1: me and Dumpy are going to try something else to
Speaker 1: get her out, but then we'll need somewhere to go.
Speaker 1: The hard part is not the theft. It's the getaway.
Speaker 1: It's more than that. We'll need a refuge, a real
Speaker 1: refuge from what's going to happen that day. What do
Speaker 1: you mean by that? Hi lied to you before he
Speaker 1: was still having the dreams, the visions I saw the city,
Speaker 1: only there was no city, just howling and ruins, and
Speaker 1: those unlucky few who are still alive. Their hunger oppressed
Speaker 1: them so much that they were eating rocks, the corpses
Speaker 1: of the dead, even each other's filth, and towering over
Speaker 1: their scavenging bodies. The wheel, what wheel, the wheel of
Speaker 1: life and death, the wheel that heralds end of all things.
Speaker 1: I have to go. Oh, one more thing, Gregor. You
Speaker 1: remember the dream I had years ago, the one where
Speaker 1: I died, and not like to forget, there was something
Speaker 1: I left out. The dream was in a great garden
Speaker 1: where all manner of beasts walked side by side with
Speaker 1: the insane, fascinating fellow that don't do what an extraordinary
Speaker 1: life held? So after the butcher, then a sand g
Speaker 1: go give up my message, And those days that's just
Speaker 1: a friend, friend, experiencing the delights of your fine city.
Speaker 1: A killer, how fun I wanted to see me? What
Speaker 1: do you have there was an old man. I heard
Speaker 1: this from my cousin. He's the baker in Bossuva. Many
Speaker 1: old men in this city, yes, But this one, according
Speaker 1: to my cousin, seemed lost, unfamiliar with how to buy things.
Speaker 1: He offered my cousin a ring. M he said, the
Speaker 1: old man's hands were adorned with dreams, all with precious stones.
Speaker 1: And do you have this ring? That's the thing. Just
Speaker 1: as he was trying to take it off, a small
Speaker 1: fat fellow rustin and grabbed him away. They left without paying.
Speaker 1: My cousin just them down the street, and the fat
Speaker 1: man stopped and apologized and gave him a Goin made
Speaker 1: him double. In fact, said he would appreciate it if
Speaker 1: they could keep it between themselves. That's really is intriguing, killer.
Speaker 1: This is where we must part company. My errand is urgent,
Speaker 1: and you can't follow me everywhere. There's time. It's for
Speaker 1: your benefits, not fattons. What are you talking about, your
Speaker 1: elusive quarry. He suddenly makes suspectacle of himself in a
Speaker 1: public place, in front of witnesses and telling me there's
Speaker 1: no part of you that suspects a trap. Who's trap?
Speaker 1: The ballarag I'm working for them. I was thinking more
Speaker 1: of our friends with the lizard tattoos. No doubt heard
Speaker 1: you ballowing at them in the streets and chasing them
Speaker 1: into stores. It may well have concluded you're more trouble
Speaker 1: than you're worth. You need security, trained security for you.
Speaker 1: If I'm bound to follow you around, might as well
Speaker 1: be interesting. I suggest we stopped by the lodging house,
Speaker 1: get whatever we need from our rooms, and set off together. Yeah, gentlemen,
Speaker 1: leaders of the Council of tuman Bit, heads of the
Speaker 1: trade guilds and provincial don't worry. My dear daughters ready
Speaker 1: for doctor. Dear mistress, have another dose first. I think
Speaker 1: she's h doctor. I feel sure. I just gave you
Speaker 1: an instruction, darling. Can you be a brave girl and
Speaker 1: drink it all up? No, slaves, come with us. We
Speaker 1: have a chair for you just over there. Sultana, how
Speaker 1: are you feeling, Majest? Do you she's very confused this morning. No, No,
Speaker 1: of course, of course. Now sit slowly, dear, I don't
Speaker 1: want you hurting yourself. Counselors, merchants and guildheads of tuman Bay,
Speaker 1: I thank you for your patients, and I ask your
Speaker 1: forgiveness that I was not here when you arrived. The
Speaker 1: only excuse I can offer you is I did not
Speaker 1: wish to leave our suffering Sultana's side. Now, I believe
Speaker 1: tradition and law dictate that the assembled dignitaries have full
Speaker 1: opportunity to assess the Sultana's fitness before the eyes of all.
Speaker 1: Quite correct, Mistress, I was thinking we'd begin with offender Ergan,
Speaker 1: a council leader in the Northwest Quarter. Me. Perhaps you
Speaker 1: would like to examine the Sultana first. Offend, Well, certainly
Speaker 1: I know physician, but I think I know when someone
Speaker 1: is of sound mind, and we're all very lucky you're here, offendy, majesty,
Speaker 1: Sultana Ah, please proceed if can, Perhaps, Majesty, perhaps you
Speaker 1: could tell us something of your symptoms. The poor, poor dear,
Speaker 1: so stricken with this ailment that she cannot even express
Speaker 1: her experience of it. Who's next? Yes, I was thinking
Speaker 1: we should move on to one of the stone merchant.
Speaker 1: I'm not quite done yet, Thank you. What do you
Speaker 1: mean you're not sure? Of course? If d please continue, majesty,
Speaker 1: can you really tell me nothing? Can you not even
Speaker 1: describe how you feel at this moment, hot, cold, oppressed
Speaker 1: by good, oppressed by what Mistress you said, oppressed by
Speaker 1: and then you trailed off. I'm simply asking you to
Speaker 1: complete your sentence. Oppressed by the heat, Mistress, it is
Speaker 1: an oppressively hot day, at least to my to my mind,
Speaker 1: May I speak, Mistress, you will have your opportunity. Offendi
Speaker 1: Boks just like everyone else. But first, Mistress Fatima would
Speaker 1: like to hear offending Ergan's conclusion. It is my assessment that, yes,
Speaker 1: the Sultanas suffers from a sickness of the mind, making
Speaker 1: her temporarily unfit to lead Tuman Bay a keen diagnosis,
Speaker 1: iffend Ergan, you may sit down now. Thank you for
Speaker 1: your help. So let us now turn to the stone merchants.
Speaker 1: You said I could speak mixed must be here from
Speaker 1: many more well tradition and law only. I think we
Speaker 1: can all tell that her Majesty is finding this whole
Speaker 1: ordeal quite distressing. May I suggest we get through these
Speaker 1: proceedings as quickly as we can. I don't want to
Speaker 1: cause her any further discomfort. We hope you will return
Speaker 1: to good health soon, Majesty. Have we have a good diagnosis,
Speaker 1: why should we talk about her very astute, My friend,
Speaker 1: I feel the same, and I'm sure the Sultana would
Speaker 1: as well. And I'm even more certain that was she
Speaker 1: not so afflicted by diseases of the mind, the Sultana
Speaker 1: would add that these are very difficult times we face
Speaker 1: and that we must all work together for the good
Speaker 1: of tuman Bay. That's what the Sultana would say. Yes, now,
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what I say. I do not want this.
Speaker 1: I do not want to be here under these terrible circumstances.
Speaker 1: I only in this room now offering to take on
Speaker 1: the unwanted burden of leadership because of my devotion to duty,
Speaker 1: duty to the Sultana Manel, the daughter of my heart,
Speaker 1: and my duty to tuman Bay. Well, unless anyone has
Speaker 1: anything to add, perhaps we should move on to signing
Speaker 1: the order of Regidency. Why you don't mean to say
Speaker 1: you already have the document prepared, do you, Cadi? I
Speaker 1: have something to add? Yes, Yes, you've been quite vocal tonight,
Speaker 1: haven't you. Offendi Effendi ba Sulk Mistress, chairman of the
Speaker 1: Council of Leather Curates, Leather Curus. Well, clearly he is
Speaker 1: well qualified to assess an illness of the spirit and
Speaker 1: at least as qualified as a provincial wife. My friend,
Speaker 1: I think the general consensus in the room. It's your
Speaker 1: right to make an assessment. Would you like to examine,
Speaker 1: to examine her to know what I think? We are
Speaker 1: acting too quickly. We need more physicians to examine her,
Speaker 1: real qualified physicians from outside to Monday, with no allegiances
Speaker 1: to anyone in this room. Thank you, Offendi Bizzalk. Your
Speaker 1: thoughts will be recorded. I don't want them recorded, I
Speaker 1: want them implemented. We need another diagnosis. I saw her,
Speaker 1: Majesty not three days ago, and she was perfectly well
Speaker 1: at the time. Well, that is the nature of such illnesses.
Speaker 1: They come on quickly. Then perhaps they also received just
Speaker 1: as quickly. But if we signed the order of regency
Speaker 1: and invest the Sultana's power in the mistress, we will
Speaker 1: never know that. Man, God, what are you doing to
Speaker 1: talk to this I'm a member of the council. Get
Speaker 1: your ears off me. I do you believe he is
Speaker 1: part of the plot? Take him, gag him, take the
Speaker 1: traitor out. Does anyone else have anything to add? Remember
Speaker 1: you're all well within your rights to speak, so please
Speaker 1: feel free. Well, in that case, I think all that
Speaker 1: remains is that we proceed to the signing of the
Speaker 1: Order of Region Report period of prosperity only. I thought
Speaker 1: that went well, wonderfully handled Mistress Fatima. Sir, the Sultana.
Speaker 1: You need to get her out of the city. Certain
Speaker 1: seditious elements could use her as a figurehead. I did
Speaker 1: very much that the grand Master would allow the Sultana
Speaker 1: of all people to leave. The Grandmaster has nothing to
Speaker 1: do with this, yes, but his measure at every gate.
Speaker 1: This city is a closed city until the Ballarak leaves.
Speaker 1: You know everything about this place. Cadi take her out
Speaker 1: through the secret passages and take the doctor to No mistress,
Speaker 1: I cannot I have my work here. So's so many people. Enough? Yes, now, now,
Speaker 1: my dear dear go I would love nothing more than
Speaker 1: to accompany you on this journey. Mhmm. Let me hold
Speaker 1: you one last time. I will miss you so much.
Speaker 1: M I don't understand where are we going? Relax, my friend, Relax,
Speaker 1: It's just this way, majesty. H h right, I think
Speaker 1: I have a bath, Run my bath. M hm. Your
Speaker 1: coffee and cakes offendia killer my goodness preferred so quickly,
Speaker 1: Commander Rose adamant quick meal and then you're off to
Speaker 1: some way and say he's joining me, isn't He's not
Speaker 1: leaving me to eat alone. I am not. I trust
Speaker 1: you got everything you needed from your room. I think
Speaker 1: I'm sufficiently equipped. I'll leave you, gentlemen, let me know
Speaker 1: if you need anything else. I will mhmm. Come out
Speaker 1: at your coffee, please drink. Thank you think of it
Speaker 1: finding the lost Hafees and put you in tremendous favor
Speaker 1: with the Grandmaster. We'll see. Is he really so grand though?
Speaker 1: Someone wants to tell me he just looks like some
Speaker 1: old soldier who mislaid his eyes. It's like this Hafez
Speaker 1: you're after, supposedly great spiritual leader, the direct descendant of
Speaker 1: the teacher. Yet these days people say he's nothing but
Speaker 1: an old drunk. You know, a cousin of mine used
Speaker 1: to drink, and he was a barber of all things.
Speaker 1: Can you credit it? A man approaches you with a
Speaker 1: razor first thing in the morning, smelling of drink, and
Speaker 1: yet he held that razor as steady as a rock.
Speaker 1: So I suppose one can become inured to anything. You're right, command,
Speaker 1: Are you seem a bit I'm fine talking of barber's
Speaker 1: do you know the riddle of the barber? And I'm
Speaker 1: not a move for I feel I feel very It
Speaker 1: goes like this, A town has only one barber. The
Speaker 1: barber shaves all those and only those who do not
Speaker 1: shave themselves. So who shaves the barber? Are you sure
Speaker 1: you're a right commander? H Oh, it's too bad, you know,
Speaker 1: I would have enjoyed it. It enjoyed helping you find
Speaker 1: her fees, guarding your back as you plunged into the mystery.
Speaker 1: Well last, now I've grown to like you. It's a shame,
Speaker 1: but in my profession, you have to be consistent if
Speaker 1: you want the next job and then the one after that.
Speaker 1: You're not the first friend I've lost this way. M h,
Speaker 1: what do you mean? If it's any consolation, it won't
Speaker 1: be unpleasant. I'm very experienced. You just feel like falling asleep,
Speaker 1: like a lovely afternoon snoon's in a garden, perhaps with
Speaker 1: the wind in the trees, the leaves, the smell of flowers,
Speaker 1: perhaps a bee buzzing by you, And then the world
Speaker 1: will begin to fade and m and then and then
Speaker 1: and then a killer. What's the next bit? The world phades?
Speaker 1: My childhood appears before my eyes. A lute plays, and
Speaker 1: then what talked me through it? It was poison painted
Speaker 1: into my room somewhere, Yeah, the desk, perhaps the door
Speaker 1: on the inside. It's the one thing you would have
Speaker 1: had to touch. But you must have. How else could
Speaker 1: you have left the room? I didn't what I didn't
Speaker 1: leave it because I never entered it. I saw you
Speaker 1: when we arrived. The Landlady gave you. You assumed a killer.
Speaker 1: It's like the trick with the coins. Because I opened
Speaker 1: the door. Your mind told you that I entered, but
Speaker 1: I did not, And that's why I am alive and you,
Speaker 1: my friend, no otherwise, How is it possible? But I
Speaker 1: have killed you, a nonentity like me. Once again, the
Speaker 1: same principle as the coins in the door. You saw
Speaker 1: me bring the cup to my lips, so your brain
Speaker 1: filled in the rest. I drank no coffee, but you did.
Speaker 1: The landlady did it. Never give you pause for a
Speaker 1: moment that she still calls me, commander stupid of me. Yes,
Speaker 1: for someone like you, you must have trained for years
Speaker 1: to do what you do, and yet you haven't answered
Speaker 1: my riddle. Gregor, who shaves the barber? Does he shave? Himself.
Speaker 1: Oh I remember, he can only shave those who do
Speaker 1: not shave themselves. Then there's no answer exactly exactly. The
Speaker 1: question is meaningless. The barber can't exist. It's all just noise.
Speaker 1: It means nothing. Mm hmm. That's the difference between you
Speaker 1: and me, a killer. I don't believe that. I haven't
Speaker 1: fallen quite that far yet. But what is clear from
Speaker 1: your attempt on my life is that Fatima has no
Speaker 1: further use for me, which raises the question who else
Speaker 1: does she want out of the way? Sorry, I just
Speaker 1: came up to see if you want any more? Oh dear,
Speaker 1: should like called for a physician or a mortician, the
Speaker 1: lass I should cover it. I'm off to Vasuva. I
Speaker 1: can leave this with you always, Commander, thank you. Where
Speaker 1: have you been to? Angel? I need more humber, more
Speaker 1: ishmahan blue, and more gold, always more gold. There's something
Speaker 1: going on in the palace that's not our concern. Angel.
Speaker 1: The quicker, you can get me my pains. The quicker,
Speaker 1: we get this done, get our feet and get out
Speaker 1: of here. M hmm. Wait, I don't understand this. On
Speaker 1: the canvas, Oh yeah, I've been told to paint out
Speaker 1: the Sultan move her to the corner down there, Mrs
Speaker 1: Fatima is to have the battlements to herself. I told
Speaker 1: you something was going on. This is a cool How
Speaker 1: does the work proceed? The mistress requires pardon me, I
Speaker 1: have misspoken. The reasons requires an update on the great work,
Speaker 1: Regent Piero, What am I to tell? Well? Once I've
Speaker 1: moved the Sultana from here to here, were almost done.
Speaker 1: Of course, the finishing touches to be added at the
Speaker 1: festival the fires. But but we're still as angeles. So
Speaker 1: perhaps you can help us book our passage back for
Speaker 1: the morning after the morning after you don't wish to
Speaker 1: stay and enjoy the many pleasures human may has to offer,
Speaker 1: especially after working so hard. I'm sure Regent Fatima would
Speaker 1: want to reward you. We will be happy to take
Speaker 1: our reward in the form of the agreed upon payment
Speaker 1: from our contract and demediate assage back home. Well, it's
Speaker 1: up to you, ah, I must say. It's a magnificent portrait,
Speaker 1: doesn't reason Fatima look wonderful? It is interesting how this
Speaker 1: painting has changed, isn't it. It started as a great
Speaker 1: panorama celebrating many, and now it mostly seems to be
Speaker 1: a portrait of one, and in the process has exceeded
Speaker 1: all expectations. Piero, you are indeed the greatest artist in
Speaker 1: the world. When you're commander of the Palace guard and
Speaker 1: the whole city is filled with your eyes and ears.
Speaker 1: You're not used to waiting. You deploy others to do
Speaker 1: that for you. When you lose all that, you have
Speaker 1: to do your own waiting in an alley across from
Speaker 1: the bakery of Hassan's cousin. A man like Bellow is
Speaker 1: not fool enough to use the main thoroughfares. He'll take
Speaker 1: the back alleys, the side streets. I see you there,
Speaker 1: my friend. Will I have to chase you for my
Speaker 1: money today? Oh no, my dear man, of course not no, No,
Speaker 1: an unfortunate mistake. I'll take two loads, and perhaps two
Speaker 1: of those. I hope your father's feeling back, my friend.
Speaker 1: There is no feeling better when you're that older and
Speaker 1: a friend. No, his mind is going. I can't apologize
Speaker 1: enough for the other day. He used to be a
Speaker 1: brilliant man, a shrewde merchant of carpets. But now life life, Yes, yes, anyway,
Speaker 1: thank you so much. Ill I see you tomorrow. Come
Speaker 1: what do you do? I mean, what did you I've
Speaker 1: just come from killing someone, bellow, someone who was trying
Speaker 1: to kill me. My patience for lies is pretty well snapped.
Speaker 1: So do you know what you're going to do? I
Speaker 1: have to my my father. Look into my eyes and
Speaker 1: tell me what you think will happen if you don't
Speaker 1: take me to their fees right now, just down here
Speaker 1: through this alley. If you're leading me a stray bellow,
Speaker 1: whoa You're going to love this, gregor You'll never believe
Speaker 1: where we're going? Is there a garden by any shad?
Speaker 1: How did you know? Just keep going? But not just
Speaker 1: any garden. It's also old, so ancient they say it
Speaker 1: was here even before the city. It sits right beneath
Speaker 1: a mighty sister. How did you find him? The Offistle
Speaker 1: ready knew about it when he and I came to
Speaker 1: too Manday. He showed me in the scrolls. He's forgotten now,
Speaker 1: of course, but I remembered. I'm very good at remembering things, Commander,
Speaker 1: but not very good at being honest, at least of me.
Speaker 1: He made me promise not to tell you, He said,
Speaker 1: they'll try to make him part of it. The Ballarak
Speaker 1: and he can't be part of it, part of what
Speaker 1: the festival of the fires. He keeps saying, if he's
Speaker 1: part of it, terrible things will follow if he can't
Speaker 1: be found. M hmm, maybe it won't be so bad.
Speaker 1: I don't know if I truly believed in it until
Speaker 1: this moment. An oasis and the old heart of the city,
Speaker 1: and there near the center is my objective of so
Speaker 1: many days now. The hafees himself drinking from a spring.
Speaker 1: I bring him bread, a little meat, but mostly it's
Speaker 1: like he lives off the water from that spring. He
Speaker 1: desires nothing else, and the Arak he never asks for it. Look,
Speaker 1: some days he's rational, other days he's confused. And you
Speaker 1: never know until I understand, Holiness. You have a guest
Speaker 1: sit at his feet. He like it. He'll think you're
Speaker 1: a pilgrim. H h Holiness, have you come for a blessing?
Speaker 1: This man is fragile as blown glass. I I've come
Speaker 1: to learn. What have you come to learn? I need
Speaker 1: your wisdom to explain a marvel of he's I've seen
Speaker 1: a dead woman Alkin walking the streets of the city. Alkin.
Speaker 1: I know it wasn't a dream. Did she speak to you?
Speaker 1: She did, but I'm having trouble remembering what she said.
Speaker 1: It had something to do with things being out of balance,
Speaker 1: balance needing to be restored. I've seen her too, you Huffice.
Speaker 1: There are people in the city who are not of
Speaker 1: the city. They come, they look, they leave the watch us.
Speaker 1: But how the Ballara controlled the city gates. No one
Speaker 1: can enter or leave without their permission. They don't use
Speaker 1: the gates. These people are like the tail of the
Speaker 1: lizard that you only clips as it vanishes through a
Speaker 1: crack of the war. But sometimes they don't just what
Speaker 1: what does that mean? So times they interfere, how they
Speaker 1: change things, and then the balance is lost. This dead
Speaker 1: woman i've seen Alkin, is she one of them? One
Speaker 1: of these gods? There is only one god above even them,
Speaker 1: and the governant was made between this god and man.
Speaker 1: I don't know if I'm receiving ancient wisdom or listening
Speaker 1: to a deranged old man making it up as he
Speaker 1: goes along a covenant. There was a camera and it
Speaker 1: was shown to these seven blind sages, men of great wisdom,
Speaker 1: and each of them felt the part of the camera.
Speaker 1: I've lost him, And one said, this is a rope
Speaker 1: I had him for a moment I had something. This
Speaker 1: is a molehill, and now he slipped away. The are
Speaker 1: the one said, this is my brother in law's face.
Speaker 1: Forgive me Hafy's does any of this? My friend? The
Speaker 1: mind brings to every object what the mind has means
Speaker 1: of seeing in reality? It's a maintree, old camel. Hay
Speaker 1: I will go to sleep now, No, have his please,
Speaker 1: there's more I need. It's all you will get from
Speaker 1: him today. It's not enough. Fellow, is there a calamity coming?
Speaker 1: This is my city? Are you going to betray him?
Speaker 1: What to the Ballarak? I know they need him for
Speaker 1: their ritual? Why these Hafis is the direct descendant of
Speaker 1: the very first Hayes who made that covenant he spoke
Speaker 1: of with the One God. He was there at the beginning,
Speaker 1: so he must be there at the end. The wheel turns,
Speaker 1: the snake consumes its tail. That's what the Ballarak want.
Speaker 1: So I ask you again, are you going to give
Speaker 1: him to them? Yeah? All right, stop here? What's happening?
Speaker 1: Trying to relax? My stick? Beg if you man go
Speaker 1: down random? We are here, Yes, got them? Where are we?
Speaker 1: Why have we stopped? We have to wait here for
Speaker 1: a little bit. What you're here? I need to give
Speaker 1: you another door, Sultana, No, please, Mrs Fatima's orders. Please No,
Speaker 1: I can't stand it. Sta Sty just pretend what so
Speaker 1: to sing? Stink. I'm not going to do it. But
Speaker 1: they need to see h h well, what's happening? I
Speaker 1: had to yell at them to open the gates? They
Speaker 1: said the gates. Soldiers were preparing a wall at the back.
Speaker 1: They weren't expecting visitors. Are they ready for her? Yes?
Speaker 1: They are ready? Doctor. Yes, captain are you ready? Have
Speaker 1: you done what you needed to? Yes? Captain, she's had
Speaker 1: her loose. You can't take her very well. What I
Speaker 1: was here before? Is that? So? I came to see someone? Ah,
Speaker 1: my memory, I I'm not clear who. Yes, it may
Speaker 1: be a little time before the medicine leaves your system
Speaker 1: and your memory returns properly. And forget memory. That me.
Speaker 1: What's happening now? They are handing you over to the cares.
Speaker 1: Listen closely. We only have a moment. Fatima wanted me
Speaker 1: to use something stronger, something that could leave you list
Speaker 1: it forever, but I couldn't. She thinks you'll be incapacitated
Speaker 1: forever and therefore not he that will protect you until
Speaker 1: those of us who serve you can find a way.
Speaker 1: Would you like to come with us? Hi? I recognize you.
Speaker 1: I am here to make your stay as comfortable as possible.
Speaker 1: Do you want to go with the order list? Come?
Speaker 1: Because my dad's right, your new home awaits farewell, majesty
Speaker 1: doctor captain. Time to go, m M. I want to
Speaker 1: hand getting onto your horse, doctor? Yes, very kind? You are,
Speaker 1: you captain, but you didn't really think Mrs Fatim was
Speaker 1: going to let you come back to you throw his
Speaker 1: body in the ditch. Let's go. H. So, how was
Speaker 1: your journey man here? I can't recall, no, of course not.

Speaker 1: Discust Sarved? That's right, I'm the governor here, the new one.
