I seek 0:00:13.680 --> 0:00:18.200 the balance, well, not too much balance. He has to 0:00:18.200 --> 0:00:22.120 be at the bottom, below the walls. Even so, Madam, 0:00:22.360 --> 0:00:26.320 think of the way it will increase your glory.

That ancient 0:00:34.920 --> 0:00:41.800 visage like a statue of the past. Yes, yes, I 0:00:41.880 --> 0:01:02.960 like that. There we go, Oh, I present the great artist, 0:01:04.000 --> 0:01:14.240 Signor Piero. Grandmaster. The Grandmaster doesn't speak much. He spends 0:01:14.280 --> 0:01:16.400 most of his time prayer. Yes, what, I spend most 0:01:16.400 --> 0:01:20.319 of my time running Tuman bay. We have come to 0:01:20.360 --> 0:01:25.120 see you, Grandmaster Marik the night of the falling fires. 0:01:25.160 --> 0:01:28.920 This event so important to you, will be recorded for 0:01:28.959 --> 0:01:33.479 all time by Master Piero. Here you agreed to see 0:01:33.600 --> 0:01:41.839 him so that he could make sketches for his great canvas. Yes, 0:01:42.080 --> 0:01:47.200 very well, it's um it's dark in here. May we 0:01:47.280 --> 0:01:55.560 open the blinds? U sure? Well open mhm ah. So 0:01:55.720 --> 0:01:59.960 the stories are true. You have a fine face, Grandma, 0:02:00.000 --> 0:02:05.000 master heroic face. Your empty eye sockets with the flames 0:02:05.040 --> 0:02:08.800 in the sky will be I won't see your painting, 0:02:09.080 --> 0:02:12.560 but the world will and you will be mortalized. Make 0:02:12.639 --> 0:02:17.679 your pictures, artists. I do not have time to waste. Yes, 0:02:20.080 --> 0:02:23.400 this may take a while, my lady. Perhaps you would 0:02:23.440 --> 0:02:28.360 care to amuse yourself. Otherwise, yes, you may leave us 0:02:28.720 --> 0:02:32.240 if you wish. They will show you the army quarter. 0:02:33.040 --> 0:02:36.840 We have nothing to hide. My general will the sky. 0:02:37.080 --> 0:02:49.240 I have my own general, barbarressa mistress. So what do 0:02:49.240 --> 0:02:54.800 you see, General, as a soldier? Are they preparing for 0:02:54.880 --> 0:03:01.959 war for this celebration? What do you see? No signs 0:03:01.960 --> 0:03:06.040 of mobilization, No engines of war, nor battle training, or 0:03:06.520 --> 0:03:10.880 stockpiling of arrows or lances, or getting men up to 0:03:10.919 --> 0:03:14.200 the mark. However you try and conceal it. You can't 0:03:14.240 --> 0:03:21.200 hype no urgency, not for war. And my forces what 0:03:22.200 --> 0:03:26.000 ready for war? As you saw the exercises mistress a 0:03:26.040 --> 0:03:28.840 few days ago, they are ready to fight. So if 0:03:28.840 --> 0:03:34.760 we had to make a move, could we do it? Well? Yes, 0:03:35.400 --> 0:03:40.880 but we would have to act soon. Explain the men. 0:03:40.960 --> 0:03:45.000 No gold has been secured for the city for your army. 0:03:45.480 --> 0:03:50.240 They have been promised their back paper. Any deserters are 0:03:50.280 --> 0:03:52.760 to be hanged. These are men who fight for money. 0:03:52.880 --> 0:03:56.640 Are promises, and you will have gold a plenty if 0:03:56.680 --> 0:04:04.040 you serve me well. General, thank you, Mistress. I wonder, yes, 0:04:05.280 --> 0:04:07.960 I think really as strong as they say they are. 0:04:10.120 --> 0:04:14.440 Have we been led on a merry chase? They arrive 0:04:14.520 --> 0:04:16.599 at our gates not more than a few hundred, and we, 0:04:16.800 --> 0:04:21.200 like frightened children, we believe all the tales of their greatness. 0:04:23.000 --> 0:04:27.400 It's the position in the city now, this day. They 0:04:27.400 --> 0:04:30.280 have taken over the city gates. They have the center 0:04:30.279 --> 0:04:32.520 and most of the port area. Two of the five 0:04:32.600 --> 0:04:36.200 hills they they control, who goes in, who goes out. 0:04:40.080 --> 0:04:43.320 I'm sick of this. Go back to your troops now 0:04:43.360 --> 0:04:48.760 and prepare to attack. I'm not used to repeating myself. General, 0:04:48.839 --> 0:04:53.239 they are unprepared. Will surprise them. Even so. From General, 0:04:53.520 --> 0:04:56.240 they are the Balaron, they are mortal, and they can die. 0:04:57.000 --> 0:04:58.920 I'm going back in there. If you hear nothing by 0:04:58.960 --> 0:05:01.440 the fourth glass of the afterno in and surround the 0:05:01.520 --> 0:05:20.000 army quarter and wipe them out. As Mistress to Monday, 0:05:20.680 --> 0:05:31.120 season four, episode five, The Watchers by Mike Walker. But 0:05:31.279 --> 0:05:37.119 you're man, surely they need some relief. Do they find 0:05:37.160 --> 0:05:41.680 it with each other? The flesh is evil unless it's 0:05:41.720 --> 0:05:49.000 insistent your nights are young fat If we fail we 0:05:49.160 --> 0:05:53.560 have the discipline? Why is that not a temptation in itself? 0:05:53.600 --> 0:05:57.080 All matter is a temptation. That is why it is 0:05:57.120 --> 0:06:01.880 best to leave it behind. M we are a disciplined order. 0:06:03.520 --> 0:06:06.719 I am a man. You are a man. We both 0:06:06.800 --> 0:06:10.960 know that. Known as that disciplined, I am not a man, 0:06:11.120 --> 0:06:14.120 and yet I see very little of your discipline, Grandmaster 0:06:14.240 --> 0:06:17.600 and mal Rick. I wonder if you're like all men 0:06:17.640 --> 0:06:21.240 and promise much and deliver very little. I think the 0:06:21.320 --> 0:06:25.599 moment has come for us to speak clearly to one another. Position. 0:06:25.960 --> 0:06:29.680 Have you done very well? Very little? Apart from take 0:06:29.720 --> 0:06:33.800 our gold, controlled the law courts, you're going to hang 0:06:33.839 --> 0:06:36.480 a thousand people on the night of the falling stars. 0:06:36.520 --> 0:06:38.800 All very well and good, but it seems to me 0:06:39.720 --> 0:06:43.920 you take and you do not give. You were invited 0:06:44.000 --> 0:06:47.520 into our city as guests after the terrible deprivations of 0:06:47.520 --> 0:06:50.160 the occupation of Maya. Well, we thank you for your 0:06:50.160 --> 0:06:52.359 help where it has been given. You have been paid well, 0:06:52.560 --> 0:06:54.679 and now we think we can manage on our own. 0:06:56.720 --> 0:07:04.920 How how what how will you manage without our advisors 0:07:05.160 --> 0:07:12.520 or administrators. I can advise, and I have secured loans 0:07:12.600 --> 0:07:18.200 for the city trade will flourish. My army is at 0:07:18.320 --> 0:07:26.320 full strength. It is time, respectfully for you and your 0:07:26.360 --> 0:07:30.520 brothers to pack up and go back to your castles 0:07:30.560 --> 0:07:35.600 on the coast. And do you speak for the sultana manel? 0:07:36.240 --> 0:07:49.640 We speak as one. Are you throwing down a challenge? Madam? 0:07:49.760 --> 0:07:52.120 Very well? We shall be gone after the night of 0:07:52.160 --> 0:07:57.280 the fires, what after the festival of fires, which is 0:07:57.320 --> 0:08:00.800 of great importance to us? As you said we shall 0:08:00.840 --> 0:08:03.240 be gone. We shall leave behind us a great gift, 0:08:03.680 --> 0:08:07.679 the aqueduct, which our engineers are working on tirelessly. And 0:08:09.000 --> 0:08:12.920 you will place your seal on this promise Heaven send 0:08:12.960 --> 0:08:17.760 for the scribes. Very well, Grandmaster, you will have the 0:08:17.800 --> 0:08:20.640 document this afternoon with my seal attached. Is there anything 0:08:20.680 --> 0:08:25.360 further you would wish to discuss? If you would excuse me, 0:08:25.560 --> 0:08:31.480 I have to speak to your general. Indeed, you are 0:08:31.600 --> 0:08:36.000 very shrewd amarek as are you? Madam? We are all 0:08:36.040 --> 0:08:59.760 here to serve. But which cause we comma? Did I 0:08:59.760 --> 0:09:02.400 tell you I was a commander? You told me you 0:09:02.400 --> 0:09:05.640 were not. Then that seems that so everyone else addresses 0:09:05.679 --> 0:09:10.120 you in these lodgings. Good commander, May I fetch your coffee? Breakfast. 0:09:10.160 --> 0:09:14.200 I'm no longer a commander. Coffee, yes, bread and olives, 0:09:14.480 --> 0:09:20.880 dumpy breakfast, Commander, I'm not I'm off now where my 0:09:21.000 --> 0:09:24.760 job mar with uncle? Building gallows for the big show. 0:09:25.160 --> 0:09:27.000 All the folks they didn't execute during the month of 0:09:27.040 --> 0:09:30.640 fasting get done on the night, got to go. First 0:09:30.679 --> 0:09:33.840 of all, we could use a bit of cheer. Will 0:09:33.880 --> 0:09:36.880 you gentlemen, be going? They say it will be quite something. 0:09:37.480 --> 0:09:40.920 Fires in the sky, No executions for me. I don't 0:09:40.920 --> 0:09:43.920 want to see that, not at all. But the rest 0:09:44.000 --> 0:09:47.240 that could be interesting. Fires in the sky. I say, 0:09:47.320 --> 0:09:50.240 how do they know? Astrologers? Offended? They know everything. That's 0:09:50.240 --> 0:09:53.520 why these astrologers see it seems I came to the 0:09:53.559 --> 0:09:57.240 city at a good time. Oh how was your banquet 0:09:57.240 --> 0:10:03.439 at the palace? Commander? I love then, always impresses in 0:10:03.880 --> 0:10:06.600 great city where the streets must be cobbled and paved. 0:10:06.800 --> 0:10:09.360 Just the up keep mind you step. All the drain 0:10:09.440 --> 0:10:13.640 covers have been stolen under the occupation myers people sold 0:10:13.679 --> 0:10:15.840 them and they haven't been replaced yet. In the days 0:10:15.880 --> 0:10:19.360 of Sultan and Augury, no one would have dared. Everyone 0:10:19.480 --> 0:10:22.160 was being watched all the time. You never knew who 0:10:22.240 --> 0:10:26.400 was spying on you. Now, was that your job when 0:10:26.440 --> 0:10:30.240 you were a commander keeping watch? Was it? It was? Yeah, yeah, 0:10:30.320 --> 0:10:34.640 something like that. You'd be surprised what goes on behind 0:10:34.679 --> 0:10:39.240 what you see. I can imagine the city is like 0:10:39.280 --> 0:10:44.560 a beautiful garden, every flower, every blade of grass, kept 0:10:44.559 --> 0:10:48.200 perfectly in place. And you were a gardener and a 0:10:48.240 --> 0:10:52.400 tribe of war dogs came trampling over everything. Mind your 0:10:52.480 --> 0:10:56.800 step mother missing drain cover. It's a long way down 0:10:58.120 --> 0:11:01.520 the sewers and drains and something of a wonder, and 0:11:01.600 --> 0:11:04.960 beneath them there's a whole other world, people living down there, 0:11:05.840 --> 0:11:09.920 the city, under the city, That's what I mean. I 0:11:09.920 --> 0:11:13.040 don't want to see what the tourists see. How do 0:11:13.120 --> 0:11:15.720 people get down or up? The city is full of tunnels, 0:11:15.720 --> 0:11:20.480 and there are secret entrances everywhere, the Eastern Market, the 0:11:20.520 --> 0:11:27.920 old Temple of Solitude. Oh what her thesis palace? Why 0:11:27.920 --> 0:11:41.720 didn't I think about? But wait, where are you going? Commander? 0:11:42.559 --> 0:11:47.120 Are we going out again today? Slimy worm? You are 0:11:47.160 --> 0:11:49.920 claiming me. Once I would have killed you for that. 0:11:50.600 --> 0:11:52.800 Once I would have seen through it. It's time you 0:11:52.880 --> 0:11:56.400 told me the trap. There's another way out of here. 0:11:56.440 --> 0:12:00.120 Isn't there a passage? That's how he went to her fist. No, 0:12:00.320 --> 0:12:06.240 he just vanished. I swear he's lying. Who are you? 0:12:06.960 --> 0:12:11.720 I always know when someone's lying infallibly. In my business 0:12:11.720 --> 0:12:14.720 a paste and those such things. What exactly is your business? 0:12:16.240 --> 0:12:19.040 Buying and selling? You have to know if a man 0:12:19.080 --> 0:12:26.679 will honor his debts? M Now is the water? Ah m, 0:12:29.040 --> 0:12:34.440 a bowl mhm, and a needle here in my tunic 0:12:34.440 --> 0:12:38.320 collar always carry one as a traveler. Indulge me, commander, 0:12:39.240 --> 0:12:43.640 I can help. I'm here to help help. Who what's 0:12:43.640 --> 0:12:49.240 he up to? Very well? So? Needle in the water, 0:12:49.960 --> 0:12:54.440 and my friend, bellow, is it? Yes? Is it the 0:12:54.520 --> 0:13:00.200 same who wrote the chronicles of Sultan Algory? Yes, you've 0:13:00.280 --> 0:13:06.120 read them, read them, almost know them by heart. Now 0:13:07.880 --> 0:13:11.800 were you telling the truth? Just now? I was? Yes, 0:13:12.920 --> 0:13:17.079 there it is. The needle moves, and the point points 0:13:19.720 --> 0:13:27.760 that you, my friend, never fails. The needle knows you're 0:13:27.800 --> 0:13:32.720 a fine writer defending, but a bad liar. I won't 0:13:32.760 --> 0:13:35.360 cut your throat this moment. If you don't tell me everything, 0:13:36.920 --> 0:13:38.880 that would be a loss to literature. And I fear 0:13:38.920 --> 0:13:43.280 the commanders telling the truth. You see, if not, the 0:13:43.360 --> 0:13:57.079 needle would have moved huh h before he disappeared to have. 0:13:57.200 --> 0:14:00.120 He told me to stay away from his chamber. That 0:14:00.320 --> 0:14:03.320 was when I saw the woman three days past. And 0:14:03.360 --> 0:14:05.959 when I finally entered, he was gone, much as you 0:14:06.080 --> 0:14:10.880 told me before. Bellow, it doesn't impress me. I left 0:14:11.040 --> 0:14:21.720 something out somewhere behind this wall. There's a passage. I 0:14:21.840 --> 0:14:32.520 don't know how to open it. Let me try. Ah 0:14:33.360 --> 0:14:37.600 many skills, my friend, far too many. You see, I 0:14:37.680 --> 0:14:43.520 said I could be of help. We need a lamp. Hello, 0:14:44.760 --> 0:14:48.600 you're going first. I can't. I hate tunnels. I would 0:14:48.600 --> 0:14:51.560 do as you're asked, my friend. He does not look 0:14:51.600 --> 0:14:57.200 pleased with you. Yes, keep going, Bellow, the lamp high. 0:14:57.720 --> 0:15:01.160 Are we heading for the palace? As Fatima had him 0:15:01.200 --> 0:15:04.960 all the time? Bellow? Why would he lie to her face? 0:15:06.960 --> 0:15:10.320 He believed that the Padda Lack are the servants of evil. 0:15:10.960 --> 0:15:14.200 He thinks they need him for their ceremony to work. 0:15:14.400 --> 0:15:21.080 What ceremony? What evil? He said. In the days before 0:15:21.120 --> 0:15:24.040 he left, he talked about the balance of our world. 0:15:25.040 --> 0:15:29.640 It was confused. There are people here who should not 0:15:29.760 --> 0:15:35.640 be here. People the watchers ring yes, yes, And he 0:15:35.680 --> 0:15:41.000 said something about tattoos, lizards and snakes always on the 0:15:41.080 --> 0:15:46.440 left behind the ear. Their sign, Why did you lie? 0:15:47.760 --> 0:15:51.120 Something is going to happen. I wanted to keep him 0:15:51.160 --> 0:15:54.160 out of it. If I lied, it would give him 0:15:54.160 --> 0:15:58.840 time to hide when the woman? Was that a lie to? Oh? No, no, no, 0:15:58.920 --> 0:16:02.160 she was there. I saw her with my own eyes, 0:16:05.000 --> 0:16:09.920 and I saw her before what when when they hanged her? 0:16:10.600 --> 0:16:13.200 And then when they cremated the body and sent the 0:16:13.280 --> 0:16:23.560 ashes out to see alkin the same It was always 0:16:23.560 --> 0:16:35.320 her from the beginning. But now where have you been? 0:16:35.600 --> 0:16:39.160 I was looking for you, I was, It doesn't matter. 0:16:39.240 --> 0:16:44.680 I was busy. Sit down, we have some news. I 0:16:44.800 --> 0:16:47.840 have secured an agreement with the Bataraq. They will depart 0:16:47.960 --> 0:16:52.320 Human Bay the morning after the festival of the Fires. Now, 0:16:52.400 --> 0:16:55.360 am I truly the savior of the city? Or am 0:16:55.360 --> 0:17:01.720 I not? Come? Come and your mother and say, is 0:17:01.720 --> 0:17:03.800 how we do things in the provinces. We pull up 0:17:03.800 --> 0:17:10.040 our sleeves and get things done. Cadali show her majesty 0:17:10.600 --> 0:17:18.080 the seal of the Grandmaster. Am and do you believe him, 0:17:18.119 --> 0:17:20.639 my darling. If there is one thing we know about 0:17:20.640 --> 0:17:22.800 the ball Iraq, it is that they do not lie. 0:17:23.440 --> 0:17:28.520 I was there, I heard his voice. I can tell 0:17:28.840 --> 0:17:32.280 when someone is lying. And yet we know the ball 0:17:32.320 --> 0:17:35.359 Iraq are controlling the city gates. No one goes in 0:17:35.600 --> 0:17:39.239 or out without a pass. I believe that you are 0:17:39.240 --> 0:17:41.120 their prisoner just as much as you think I am 0:17:41.160 --> 0:17:49.440 your prisoner. Stop now, why it's the truth, Fatima, isn't 0:17:49.440 --> 0:18:07.960 it time for that? Now the truth? I'll leave you, mistress. 0:18:09.119 --> 0:18:15.480 Wait when this is all over, when the Ballarak have left, 0:18:15.520 --> 0:18:22.720 when trade resumes, then this city will need strong, decisive leadership. Indeed, indeed, 0:18:22.880 --> 0:18:32.359 and do you think the Sultana can provide such leadership? Well, well, no, 0:18:32.520 --> 0:18:37.360 I don't believe she would. She has been erratic, confused, 0:18:38.320 --> 0:18:43.040 not herself recently. True, true, But if I may speak, mistress, 0:18:44.040 --> 0:18:50.040 fear is not enough. Whoever rules needs the support the 0:18:50.200 --> 0:18:55.520 love of the people. The Sultana has that love. She's 0:18:55.560 --> 0:18:58.359 a hero of the fight to have through Maya, the 0:18:58.440 --> 0:19:01.439 daughter of the great General Cooler and also beloved of 0:19:01.480 --> 0:19:04.440 the people. I came to tuman Bay in its hour 0:19:04.560 --> 0:19:07.320 of need with mine own army to defend it against 0:19:07.359 --> 0:19:09.960 the Ballaraq. Yes, Mistress, but that, if I may be 0:19:10.119 --> 0:19:14.920 so bold, the Ballaraq, well, they are still here, they 0:19:14.920 --> 0:19:19.720 are going I arranged it, yes, and the people will undoubtedly, 0:19:19.760 --> 0:19:24.080 I'm sure if it feel great affection for you, of 0:19:24.119 --> 0:19:32.640 course they will. But mm hmmm, and perhaps, yes, perhaps 0:19:33.400 --> 0:19:39.480 a regency. A regency, Yes, yes, I like that. Go on, 0:19:39.960 --> 0:19:44.359 it might help solve the problem. I have looked into 0:19:44.359 --> 0:19:48.520 the histories, and there is president. Some years ago, hundred 0:19:48.560 --> 0:19:52.000 or more, the mad Sultan was replaced by a regent. 0:19:52.960 --> 0:19:56.119 How did that work? Well? He was brought before a 0:19:56.200 --> 0:20:00.560 council of prominent citizens of Touman Bay and examined. The 0:20:00.600 --> 0:20:04.000 records show that he was clearly seen to be incompetent, 0:20:04.480 --> 0:20:09.840 unable to rule effectively, And and a regent was appointed 0:20:10.520 --> 0:20:14.479 and the Sultan was retired. Actually he was bricked up 0:20:14.480 --> 0:20:16.960 in a tower. Are the one along the coast. It's 0:20:16.960 --> 0:20:20.920 still called the Mad Sultan forty years he was there 0:20:21.000 --> 0:20:35.679 until well, he wasn't m Mad Sultan, the Mad. I 0:20:35.800 --> 0:20:43.560 believe the Sultana has been overworked. She's becoming hysterical, irrational. 0:20:44.160 --> 0:20:48.000 Why should she turn on her beloved Fatima? Otherwise, absolutely, 0:20:48.040 --> 0:20:51.119 you've put your finger on it. She cannot see what 0:20:51.320 --> 0:20:54.960 is obvious that you have saved to the city. In 0:20:55.160 --> 0:20:57.640 years to come, this will be recorded in the annals 0:20:57.640 --> 0:21:00.280 as one of the great victories of two men baby 0:21:01.000 --> 0:21:06.439 one without the cost of blood. Why wait, why not 0:21:06.520 --> 0:21:13.240 write it now? Kadali, you are a man of many talents. 0:21:13.280 --> 0:21:19.480 You may write the chronicle of my life. Did you know? 0:21:20.720 --> 0:21:24.520 I came from a tiny village where my parents and 0:21:24.560 --> 0:21:28.280 brothers and sisters died of the plague when I was 0:21:28.359 --> 0:21:32.719 no more than six years old. I followed their bodies 0:21:32.760 --> 0:21:39.040 to the communal burial pit. And then when I turned away, brokenhearted, 0:21:40.400 --> 0:21:45.960 lost alone, a shaft of sunlight broke through the dark 0:21:46.040 --> 0:21:51.280 storm clouds and fell upon a gold coin, half buried 0:21:51.280 --> 0:21:56.560 in the mud. I picked it up and held it 0:21:56.600 --> 0:22:01.400 in my mouth to keep it safe. I knew that 0:22:01.440 --> 0:22:07.960 with this one tiny coin I could build a future 0:22:10.000 --> 0:22:15.760 so beautiful, so true, so heroic. It must be told 0:22:15.800 --> 0:22:20.960 for the ages. So go then and have your scribes 0:22:21.119 --> 0:22:26.560 write it down. Oh and Gondali, let's just send me 0:22:26.640 --> 0:22:35.840 the physician. Yes, so, not the palace, not the under city, 0:22:36.800 --> 0:22:39.920 but an escape passage to the western market, and who 0:22:39.920 --> 0:22:45.520 knows what else. Look for the tattoos behind the left ear. 0:22:45.840 --> 0:22:48.800 If you see that, you'll know they're here. They've taken 0:22:48.840 --> 0:22:51.359 on the feast, so only they can show us that 0:22:52.000 --> 0:22:58.520 there there that tattoo. Stop him, stop, stop, citizen fellow, 0:22:58.720 --> 0:23:04.800 don't move, I kill with me. Moved out of my way. 0:23:04.880 --> 0:23:08.680 I need to get come back. I'll stop you there. 0:23:18.600 --> 0:23:24.080 Did you see way? Wait? Yes? In there he went 0:23:24.160 --> 0:23:32.800 in there in the carpet sell us. Man came in. 0:23:32.840 --> 0:23:37.960 Just now? Where is he? Oh? There? If he went 0:23:37.960 --> 0:23:49.920 through there? I think nothing? Look there, carpet moved. Citizen 0:23:50.840 --> 0:24:06.400 come out, come out? Now? Should I pull it down? Yes? Well? Ah, 0:24:06.720 --> 0:24:11.480 I wanted adventures. It seems I've got them. Is it 0:24:11.600 --> 0:24:15.639 some sort of group here street magicians? I've heard of 0:24:15.680 --> 0:24:19.000 such things? You give was all trickery. Well, I don't 0:24:19.000 --> 0:24:22.399 trust that bellow from start. Maybe he did away with 0:24:22.440 --> 0:24:25.200 this a feast person and wants to lead you off 0:24:25.200 --> 0:24:28.120 in a different direction. But that maun vanished in plain sight. 0:24:28.680 --> 0:24:32.040 This is what conjurs make you believe. Commander. I've I've 0:24:32.080 --> 0:24:35.000 done a little of it myself, just for amusements. Look, 0:24:35.000 --> 0:24:39.160 I'll show you gold coin in one hand, gold coin 0:24:39.840 --> 0:24:46.320 in the other hand. Ah, no gold coins? So where 0:24:46.400 --> 0:24:50.240 can I know? The skillful Commander Gregor has them in 0:24:50.359 --> 0:24:57.560 his pocket? Please look stealing my money. I've got to 0:24:57.600 --> 0:24:59.960 hold them more carefully. Otherwise you two and pay tricks 0:25:00.040 --> 0:25:06.800 us all steal them again, very good, well done. But 0:25:06.960 --> 0:25:11.920 what's the man? I'm puzzled. Oh it's magic, And here 0:25:11.920 --> 0:25:14.280 they are again, coffee on me. I think I know 0:25:14.640 --> 0:25:16.280 not about the coins. I know how you did that? 0:25:17.640 --> 0:25:21.000 About something you asked me of a breakfast this morning. Yeah, 0:25:21.680 --> 0:25:23.760 you asked me how the banquet had gone at the palace. 0:25:24.960 --> 0:25:28.600 But I'm surprised. It's perfectly normal questions, surely, But you 0:25:28.600 --> 0:25:30.800 were there not looking like you do now I'm more 0:25:30.840 --> 0:25:36.240 like a slave offering food. Who do you work for? 0:25:38.480 --> 0:25:44.639 This is awful conjecture. No, I love these tiny coffee 0:25:44.680 --> 0:25:49.480 coats so delicate. I'm at this moment holding a spike. 0:25:50.320 --> 0:25:52.160 Can you feel the touch of the point on your leg? 0:25:53.040 --> 0:25:56.080 If it breaks the skin, you will die. I suspect 0:25:56.119 --> 0:26:00.280 you know enough about poisons to believe me. All right, 0:26:00.840 --> 0:26:03.159 this is some of the best coffee I've ever drunk. 0:26:03.320 --> 0:26:05.119 Who do you work for? I must buy some beans 0:26:05.200 --> 0:26:15.359 to take home? The question m whoever pays me? Who pays? 0:26:15.359 --> 0:26:19.280 At the moment, Mistress Fatima, what has she asked you 0:26:19.320 --> 0:26:23.400 to do? I was summoned to Mumbai for a job 0:26:25.240 --> 0:26:29.760 and this is done. I'm no threat to you, Commander. 0:26:31.320 --> 0:26:37.080 What are you? There is a castle in the mountains. 0:26:37.560 --> 0:26:42.000 It's not anywhere near. Here is far away. And in 0:26:42.200 --> 0:26:48.280 that castle there's a garden, beautiful garden. It's like paradise, 0:26:48.400 --> 0:26:52.720 some say, And young men and young women to go there. 0:26:54.040 --> 0:26:58.480 And in paradise they are trained in certain arts and sciences, 0:26:58.560 --> 0:27:05.000 and some achieve m a mastery of their subject. Messengers come, 0:27:05.119 --> 0:27:12.120 messengers go, Money's offered, tasks are performed. Do you understand, Commander, 0:27:13.880 --> 0:27:17.159 I've done some jobs previously for her, her husband. You 0:27:17.200 --> 0:27:21.000 work for her husband. I helped her with the the 0:27:21.080 --> 0:27:26.160 problem of her husband, a hunting accident and inconvenient bankers. 0:27:27.920 --> 0:27:31.280 So tell me why I shouldn't kill you now. Look, 0:27:31.440 --> 0:27:35.199 we're both the same kind of man, My friend. You 0:27:35.280 --> 0:27:37.920 know if I give you my word, I will stick 0:27:38.000 --> 0:27:43.440 by it. Look at me, You'll know if I'm lying. 0:27:43.800 --> 0:27:50.480 That's what you do, am I. All she has asked 0:27:50.520 --> 0:27:54.160 me to do is help you and report back to her. Obviously, 0:27:56.640 --> 0:27:59.199 I give you my word that if those orders ever changed, 0:27:59.280 --> 0:28:13.760 I will tell you otherwise. Use your spike and finish it. Now. Ah, 0:28:14.359 --> 0:28:27.040 my friend, my comfort, my lover, my soul delight? What 0:28:27.080 --> 0:28:45.720 do I do without you? Go away? Different? I have 0:28:45.800 --> 0:28:50.360 told you do not disturb me while I'm working. Mistress 0:28:50.400 --> 0:28:53.960 Fatima is calling for you. Oh the deafens? What now? 0:28:55.640 --> 0:29:12.960 Very well, go away, go away, I am coming this way. Mrss, 0:29:13.560 --> 0:29:17.480 you confuse something me. I'm here. How do you unwill No, 0:29:17.640 --> 0:29:22.640 I'm in fine health, of course, Ah, of course, then 0:29:22.760 --> 0:29:28.760 how many I solve you? It's someone else, a friend. 0:29:31.280 --> 0:29:37.239 I need some help, Yes, this person is. It's not 0:29:37.360 --> 0:29:40.640 herself of late. She has been through a lot, and 0:29:40.720 --> 0:29:47.480 her mind is showing signs of being overthrown. Do you 0:29:47.520 --> 0:29:51.080 see dr So she needs something to help her me calm, 0:29:51.080 --> 0:29:55.600 not calm so much as her feelings are full of 0:29:56.560 --> 0:30:01.480 exacting anger, the desire to do herself some deadly harm 0:30:01.800 --> 0:30:08.240 others too. Perhaps fury pent up inside directed it with 0:30:08.440 --> 0:30:14.200 someone who loves her very much, so very sad. I 0:30:14.280 --> 0:30:17.560 do have medicine that can help with such elements father's death. 0:30:19.120 --> 0:30:24.400 Perhaps she's still mourning her mother too. Mistress, I have 0:30:24.480 --> 0:30:27.080 been here in the palace since the time of Sultan Allegori, 0:30:27.200 --> 0:30:31.160 and I have dealt with many such problems about of 0:30:31.240 --> 0:30:34.160 the body, end of the mind. Perhaps I could examine 0:30:34.160 --> 0:30:40.600 your friend and impossible such is her disorder that she 0:30:40.680 --> 0:30:45.360 will not see you. What we are dealing with doctor. 0:30:46.320 --> 0:30:50.280 It's a kind of madness, and you are close. I'm 0:30:50.360 --> 0:30:55.920 like her mother. I only want to help. Of course 0:30:55.920 --> 0:30:58.680 she doesn't know I'm seeing you. She would be It 0:30:58.720 --> 0:31:01.160 would tip her over the edge. But I have to 0:31:01.240 --> 0:31:10.880 help her, of course, of course, Mrs something effective, something 0:31:12.000 --> 0:31:28.280 very effective. Yes, Mr me, I just I did I 0:31:28.320 --> 0:31:33.600 did I know you come up here? Sometimes I am, 0:31:33.640 --> 0:31:38.960 I admit, fascinated by the glasses. For all her mysteries, 0:31:39.040 --> 0:31:46.840 Dr Elkin was fascinating woman. Do you never cadally feel 0:31:48.200 --> 0:31:52.680 embarrassed at the visio? Who feels embarrassment Majesty is himself 0:31:53.120 --> 0:31:55.480 an embarrassment to those who wished to use his skills 0:31:57.280 --> 0:32:04.160 regrets sometimes m hm, Well I thought it better to 0:32:04.200 --> 0:32:10.880 meet here where no one might suspect. Yes, yes, um hm, 0:32:12.160 --> 0:32:19.120 I see the work goes well with the aqueductor. It 0:32:19.120 --> 0:32:20.920 will be done by the festival, they tell us, and 0:32:20.960 --> 0:32:24.960 then we shall be done with them. Do you believe them? 0:32:25.120 --> 0:32:31.280 Belief majesty is a luxury visiers cannot afford nor sultans. 0:32:32.880 --> 0:32:36.120 So let us deal with the here and now, the ballarack. 0:32:37.320 --> 0:32:39.920 That is not what I wish to talk to you about. 0:32:41.760 --> 0:32:44.960 I am your grand Vizier, Majesty, I am here to help, 0:32:45.040 --> 0:32:50.440 to listen and advise. I don't trust you, I need you. 0:32:52.160 --> 0:32:54.880 I think you care about two men bey, and I 0:32:54.960 --> 0:32:58.680 know you care about saving your own skin. And I'm 0:32:58.680 --> 0:33:02.080 trusting that you also know that you cannot trust Fatima. 0:33:02.520 --> 0:33:06.480 Mm hmm. You are the vizier. Tell me what is 0:33:06.480 --> 0:33:09.880 her legal position in this city? Could we simply arrest her? 0:33:10.400 --> 0:33:14.320 She has no position, Majesty. She is like any other 0:33:14.480 --> 0:33:18.960 ordinary citizen of Tuman Bay. She's powerful because she has 0:33:19.000 --> 0:33:22.280 an army, an army of mercenaries. There'd be loyal to 0:33:22.320 --> 0:33:25.840 whoever pays them. And if I know Fatima, even though 0:33:25.840 --> 0:33:27.800 she has the loan, shall be reluctant to part with 0:33:27.840 --> 0:33:33.240 any gold. Could she simply take power? Have me murder 0:33:34.240 --> 0:33:37.160 of the people would not stand for it. If she 0:33:37.200 --> 0:33:39.160 wanted to take power, she would have to do it 0:33:39.160 --> 0:33:43.480 according to custom, someon a council of leading citizens and prelates, 0:33:43.600 --> 0:33:47.479 and they would have to consent without dissension. It wouldn't 0:33:47.520 --> 0:33:50.720 If we move fast pattern a cell to control of 0:33:50.760 --> 0:33:56.000 the money, then her army would come round. What imprisonment 0:33:56.000 --> 0:34:01.960 would be unwise? Her personal guard remained loyal. Dally, you 0:34:02.040 --> 0:34:07.120 are lucky to be here. These are extraordinary times when 0:34:07.160 --> 0:34:09.680 things settle. If she is still around, you will receive 0:34:09.719 --> 0:34:12.800 punishment for what you did to her whatever she has promised. 0:34:14.000 --> 0:34:16.799 As for what you did to me, well, I will 0:34:16.840 --> 0:34:21.319 act like a sultana, and if you serve me well, 0:34:23.000 --> 0:34:26.400 there may be a way back for you. Thank you, sultana. 0:34:27.520 --> 0:34:31.440 I have learned many things through painful experience. I am 0:34:31.480 --> 0:34:36.840 a bad master, but a good servant. So do I 0:34:36.920 --> 0:34:42.719 have your complete loyalty? Kadali A thousand times? Yes? Yes, 0:34:43.560 --> 0:34:57.120 so we agree. Agree Fatima has to die, Commander. I'll 0:34:57.160 --> 0:35:00.640 have tea mint and some food whatever that. I've got 0:35:00.640 --> 0:35:05.000 it right here. There was a bagger here earlier. I 0:35:05.040 --> 0:35:09.719 sent him away, so he gave me a coin, not 0:35:09.840 --> 0:35:17.520 the other way around. M hmm, what's the good of 0:35:17.600 --> 0:35:21.880 your soul? Give OUs for Cabrillo, my friend. You were 0:35:21.880 --> 0:35:26.440
