1.08 - The Purge

by John Dryden. And when will the battle? Comments? When your father? We should sit too, and only then, but it would be soon wanted. You'll go away. And your father is a great general, perhaps the greatest two men Bay has ever known. You have nothing to fear. My fear is not for him. It is for you. I'm not here and the now I'm not in your parents. I don't care. I would do anything for you, your father. Good morning, Good morning, father. I hope you are comfortable here, Daniel,

I am general. I'm grateful for your hospitality. Good hum hm ship eight yeah, h Where is your brother right now? I haven't seen him this morning? Father, is using his time wise little better himself. Yes, I'm sure you gotta roomy wake him up and give him a good beating if necessary. Why I cursed with a sun, with no desire or interest in anything? I would go stay now. The servants do their job. I will not have my daughter open the door to strangers. General, They're not so

just from the palace guard I've said, they're asking for you. Yes, what do they want? General Coolan? You are to come with us? Why are you going to come peacefully? Or shall I call my men in? General? What to is your command? Stand down? Am I to understand? You are arresting me? By whose authority? The sole done? I will finish my breakfast. You will come with us? Now? I see just like that, General, What shall I do? Do nothing? Serve the Sultan loyally as I do, and Daniel look

after them. What's my life? General man, I'll go fetch your mother. I am here. Seems I may have to leave you. Remember what I told you oder if this day overcame, you know what to do. It's important that you remain calm. Whatever happens, you know where to go. You take the others, be kind to them. But no other that you are my first and most treasured wife. What is happened? Where shall you join us? At last? I hope you had a RESTful night. Who are these men?

Why are they here? I m I had wanted more time to prepare you for this world. But well, I may have seemed a harsh father. You will understand why. I wonder. Yes, Daniel, you do what you can. Who take care of them? You can be sure of that. General. Come, I will find out what I can. Yes, wait here, Daniel, don't worry. I'm sure there's been some misunderstanding. There's something going on at the palace. Just to be safe, h I do not that is She's up? H h Daniel,

what's happening? Mgan has had the general arrested? I know that. Is there anyone with you? What? Of course? Not? Come? H m hm. I tried to get a message to you. We are in danger. It's all gone insane here. My uncle suspects everyone but General Kulan. He's loyal, is he? Yes? The most loyal soldier in the empire, loyal to the Sultan, loyal to to man Bay. They say he's been plotting to march the army on two man bay, who says, my uncle's vizired. I know the general. I've spent time

in his home, I know his family. If he had any such plans there, I I don't believe this can be true. The Sultan seemed traitors everywhere, and they say he started to wear armor in bed. There are soldiers down there. It's a purge. Anyone he thinks is a threat is being arrested. I think he may come after me. No, how do you know. Have any officers of the Palace guard come here? Not yet? Then they won't. They would have come here first. Don't be scared. You're safe here.

What are you doing? I have to get a message to I don't like sharing you with other men, no more than you like sharing your horse with other men. It is not the same at all. Prove it to me. I will, but first, But first you have to get back to your horses. Maya is a dangerous enemy who needs to be taught lesson, then go and teach her. Listen, you don't understand the Sortan is afraid. He wants to negotiate peace. He won't let us go back to the armies.

So General Colan has ordered the army to come back to two men bay. They've been marching for five days. We need to prepare so you disobeyed the Sultan's orders. Is not nice sort, and anyway someone has to act o. Maya will just walk in through the city gates. And when you come face to face with this queen Maya, what do you intend to do to her? Kill her? She is very beautiful. You know you've met her? Of course not. I've heard of her beauty, and I know

you are not one of her spines. Come on, the Wolf, I am just a whole whore who beguiles men, renders them impotent so she can steal their secrets. Wolf, you're beginning to scare me. You are a spy. Why don't you admit it? Now? What? No? Why why are you talking to me like this? Are you SHAMSI shums shops? I hate you, hate everything about this week? What what do you want? Why? What? Shumpsy slipped back? Now? No one arrest me, no Wolf, no leave her. I go of my own free will to talk to the Sultan.

SHAMSI wait for me, this way, you stop. How did you two get in here? This is yes? Oh, I'm sorry, your excellency. We've been ordered dislauded by whom the Sultan. He's taken personal command over the palace guard. I see, well, you'd better carry on with your duties, soldier. So where does that leave me? How long have I been away? You can wait in here, but where is this sortal? I have to I know, but no one can just see this some time. I have to arrange things that

you have to wait and don't touch anything. Just sit down and wait. I'm hungry. I'll send for something. Just wait. Yeah, mCOL everybody has been looking for you. Where have you been? And I think I need to explain myself to you. Cadali, I need to see the Sultan. You need to keep out of his way, and at least for now. What do you mean he has uncovered a plot who General Coolan and his man Wolf have ordered the army to

march on Tuman. Babe, I don't believe it. You wouldn't family blood, but I'd stay in your rooms for now until we get to the bottom of it all. I have a boy, really how interesting I have many This child is special, he has dreams, he he can You're right, regard h you seem a bit dazed. This boy needs

to see the Sultan. You need to go to your rooms and wait to be summoned the Sultan and I will turn our attentions to you in due course, and you will have an opportunity to defend yourself, defend myself against what you are, after all, the General's brother. We must leave no stone unturned. So loyalty is the question. Maybe the answer is sitting in my room waiting for bread and olives and be hi that you. We haven't seen you yet in a while. Lad, No, I suppose not.

Are you looking for something? I've got a new lot. No, no, no, no, I don't require any slave. No, I suppose not. No one's buying at the moment, waiting to see how things turn out? What things you know? Oh? All that the same? I will be destroyed once our army's march out. But while we wait for that to happen, the markets have gone stone cold dead. I'm sorry, and I've got to keep on feeding them. And no one else is going to Some of the traders here they were to cut

their losses. You mean, ah, what else can they do? But not me? Not yet? How did those blue eyed ones turned out? Did you manage to tame the boy? Well I sold him. I got a good rods and the girl with the baby in arms? Did you go to the dogs? Slave with a baby? No? One want enough. I don't want to hear your I'm sorry, no even baby. What is it you see him? Tell me? Tell me, my friend, what troubles you? Coffee? Get coffee? No, it's I don't want to trouble you know, it's not trouble.

Sit tell me. I lost my wife and child the plague. They were coming to join me here in too Ming Bay. And the ship I sent them on, well, it was to be their final resting place, but it became a ship of the dead. So many lives, so many dreams. M hmm. She was to get married heaven, my daughter. I had found a suitor. And but that's part of my life is a closed chapter now. It was not meant to be a coffee with the girl girl. I took care of the child for a while, the slave

girl's child. Yes, I thought I'd found new hope, but she was taken away from me. Too life. M life, Yes, that's it. It's a razes you up only to throw you down again. It does, it does so on your own again. Perhaps that's my faith. It was meant to be. There is a purpose to everything that happens. Even bay of that, I am certain. I suppose maybe we are all alone in the end, so it would seem well, thank you for the coffee. My whope, business picks up

for you. It is in God's hands. Are you Are you sure you don't want to look at my stock next time? All right? Keep coming. I don't want to see you. Excuse me? Sorry? Yes, can I help you? What is it girl? Something troubling you? Father? Don don't you recognize me? No? No, no, no, no, no, no no no, this can't be you're dead. No, look at me, Look into my eyes. That's me, that's my face. It is it's you. It's you, so helping. Please, sir, Are you all right? She's dead. My daughter died in the

ship with her mother, all burned, all burned. What no, father, it's me, Look at me, it's me. This is your daughter, sir, heaven, this is heaven. It's me. I've been looking for you. Start really her far We found him, Yes, boy, we did, and we knew you'd be at the slave market sooner or later, so we waited there you were. Come. Come, this is your home. Salida, Salida, take some coffee. Come, please, please make yourselves comfortable. You are my guests. Thank you, sir.

This is a little house. This is your home heaven. I spent months getting us ready for you and your mother's arrival. This is everything she ever wanted. Yes, I've been cursing the day we decided to leave our country and come here. Your mother was reluctant. I insisted, but she didn't want to your father not. Now, there's no point blaming yourself. No, no, how was she on the voyage. She was excited to be joining me. Really, she wasn't cursing me. Never. I planted this three in her memory.

Both of you. It was your mother's favorite. Whoa hey, No, no, please don't let him climb on the well. You'll fall. Get back from the boy. It's a long way down. Who is this child? Where does he come from? I'm from the desert lands. Father. He's a good boy. He helped us. We wouldn't be here without him. Well, then he's welcome. You are both welcome. My house is your house. I'm in your debt. No, you protected my daughter, you brought her back to me. I am in your debt.

I am forever in your debt. What have your father? What have you done me? I have become a nursemaid. What I took care of a baby for someone at the palace. But's it's it's it's all in the past. Now, what is it? Father? I thought I'd lost everything, but you are here. Coffee? Thank you? Ah, but you must be hungry. Tend the cook to prepare something. Look, the boy is yawning. Come, I'll take you in and tell you a story. Story. Oh, I have many stories in

my library. Would you like to know of the giants? Furry ants who carry gold dust in their hair? That's impossible. Oh no, it's written in the listing. Sure nice place. When you said your father was rich, I didn't believe you. Does it matter? Does it change anything? He does business at the palace? What he mentioned the palace? Did he good business? Slave business? Wait? You consider yourself part of the palace? Guard? Sir? Adjust your collar? You look a mess? Yes, gentlemen,

bring him in. I will walk unaided. Stand out here here, I'd be got making lights of the situation. You find yourself in general? Cool and watch situation with be Kadali. What am I accused of put him there, who wethers ortmans see him. I'm sorry, General, I just need to now make him kneel. I will kneel in front of his Majesty, of my own free will. My loyalty is and always has been, to him, Your Majesty, I counted

on your loyalty above all. We are running out of time to Munday is under threat and my yet you are the one who betrayed, and I gave you the power to do so, Your Majesty, with respect, I don't know what you are talking about. You take me for a fool. You sent for the army, you ordered them back. They are marching on to Munday as we speak to the post me. No, of course not. They are marching to defend to Man. You are a traitor, General Coulan. I always suspected it. But does Maya even exist? Isn't

all a plot? General? Maya is moving towards to men by She's winning one province after another. She has already taken Emerald Province. That is why you haven't heard from the governor. Their whole regiments have gone over to her side. She has hardly had to even fight a battle, Your majesty, If I may advise it is better not to listen to the life. You are being protected from the truth by these sick of factor. Yes, General, defend by attacking.

We know Maya. Maya's forces are light. They travel very fast. Our forces move slowly. We need to mobilize them or faced destruction the outside. The world has been changing and very fast. I have not betrayed you. I've been trying to say, leave you and save us all. General Cooland is speaking the truth. My cavalry has reported these things. Your majesty, you want a fat fool, and soon you will be a dead, fat fool if you do not listen. Put your sort away. No one uncovers that sword in

the presence of the sult title pay them by. Nobody tells me and put my thought away? No, throw down your sword? What throw it down? Otober. We've done our best. We can do no more. That was wrong. Two mamba is not worth fighting for? Is the true what they are saying? Majesty? Have you been good seeing the truth from me? Of course not, your majesty. I was the one against giving cool On these great powers from the beginning, and now he's turned them against you. We need to

prepare our defenses. Whose second in command that would be get them? Prepare the Imperial Guard. I need loyalty, I need loyal people. Your Majesty can rest easy. The walls of two men bay have stood a thousand years and or standard thousand years more, and not a man by will survive. That's not my concern in your majesty, of course, report back to me when you have something to report. There is one more thing, your majesty, what his excellency Gregor? Yes,

he's back back from where Where has he been? Well, he's certainly not been at his post in the palace. He may even be a part of his brother's treachery. I think he needs to explain himself. Bring to me, musy doing. What are you doing down here? I've been looking for you, Daniel. I told you to stay in your rooms. It's not safe. Who's this? This fellow is my friend Ahmed. He works here in the stables and

he can get us fresh horses. What are you to remember what we spoke about My mother's place in the mountains. She knew she could escape there any time, but she never had the chance. We do. Let's do it now. We need to just go disappear, escape all this this fear, all this plotting. We can go tonight now. We need to keep a clear head, not panic, or we could end up. It makes perfect sense while there's such confusion in the palace, surely, but no one will we go

on the cover of night. No, you are drawing intention to yourself. The Sultan is looking for reasons to arrest people anything you do. I don't think you can't do anything here without being seen, not now, especially not now. You don't want to go, do you? You never wanted to you live just to keep me now I didn't. I will go with you. I swear I'll go with you. But you have to remember something, mat who You are the son of a sultan and the nephew of a sultan,

and your mother was the wife to both. You have a role to play in all this, a role. Maybe this is your moment. What everything is falling apart in the palace. General Colan is in jail, the Sultan is going mad, the army is without leaders ship, and my forces are closing in. Exactly that's why this is your moment. You've learned so much with me in the army. I've seen a boy become a man, a man with strength and vision and power and man I love. I couldn't

do it. I couldn't do it alone. Do you love me? I love you? Do you trust me? I trust you? All right? Good? Then let's go back to your rooms. Your your friend here, the stable boy. Yes, Ahmed, we've just been discussing with the horses. I'm sorry, Ahmed, what do you why? Yeah, we need to hide him under the straw. Why did you have to kill him? He was dead anyway, in the moment you came down here and asked fresh horses come. We need to go back up. You need to be seen. We can't just leave. Look up.

I've been a lot of things in my life, many of them I'm not proud of. I've used people. I'm really just a mercenary for hire. But I found something I believe in. What you When will this child stop eating? I want more m eight who bored of weight in? I want my mama be patient. That's woman, the slave you came to seeing the city underground? Why is she important to you? You should know you seem to know everything else. She has something you want. I know that.

That's all you need to know. I'm beginning to see how you operate, what you ask questions and pick up information here and there, and you reflect it back. It's clever and you're good. So you don't believe me. I'm no fool? Then why did you agree to bring me here? Why? Indeed, if I was in my right mind, i'd throw him out the window. But this Queen Maya, the sultan does not need to fear her. What he shouldn't concern himself with what might happen. It is already he decided. You mean,

everything is decided. Whatever anyone does will make no difference to what happens to them. Of course, isn't it obvious? Maybe to you? Yes, maybe just to me. I have seen the future. If you have seen the future, what am I going to do next? You are going to answer the door to the fires burned forever well, as far as anyone knows, they have always been there. Who knows one day they may rise up and consume the

whole city above. He hasn't told me when or if. Sorry, the frog, my little boy, he knows everything that's going to happen. He dreams it, and his dreams are true. At first we thought they were just dreams. But he treamt of his father's death. It's a long time before he told me that. And when we came down here, I thought we would die. But because of his dreams, the people here thought of him as something special. He knew you were coming that night, and he dreamt you

would have something very valuable with you. Yes, I would do anything for her. I don't mean the child. You came with something else, didn't you. M h m. You have to make up your mind, Sarah, if you trust us or not. It's hard to trust anyone once you've been a slave. That's why it's worth so much. You came to us. We looked after you. You have to trust us. You have to believe in our way. Yes, we all need something to believe in. But how do we know if what we believe is true or false?

It does that sometimes you when your child would have been consumed like dry straw. You have to trust. Wait here, I'll come and get you in the soume. I'm going in with you soon yourself. Oh, come, come stand there where his Majesty can see you. Majesty me to begin. Greg Or, you are responsible for the palace guard, for the Sultan's safety and you just vanished. Once again. You

have failed in your duty. Explain yourself, your Majesty, you have invested in me the responsibility to keep the palace safe. That is what I've been doing, working behind the scenes, not sitting in comfort, drinking mid tea and filling my belly. In the palace, I have been beside my Sultan most You have been locating the reliquary. There are a few things that bring me more pleasure than trumping car Dali in front of the Sultan. So you have the scrolls.

Unfortunately I have nothing to trump him with. No, I do not have them, but I know where they are. What do you mean the schools are not important, They don't matter. Who is the ruld? This is a boy who has been making prophecies. Is mutation has spread far and wide. Crackle, What has happened to you? You think by bringing to his majesty a circus performer, he will we bring the child forward. What's your name? They call me the frog? And what do you want frog to

tell you about the dreams you've been having? My dreams? What do you know about them? You dream of victory, and yet when you wake your fear assassination. Tell me more about my dreams. You are writing next to your commander, a general at the head of a great victory parade. Where are we two Monday? You are here in two Monday. M I have had such a dream. But in truth your general will not be there beside you. She will be you and Maya, Yes, Maya, and that will be

at the head of the armies. Yes, and all the people of duman May will watch in silent awe. And this is the future. There will be a sign. Just before a sign, birds will gather in the midday heat, and then you will know what I foresee as soon to pass. Give me a sign, now, what sign would you like? Something? Anything from magic, so that I know what you say is through any sign I give you will find some explanation, for that is the nature of

the world of men. Just do something, m M. What's enough signs that you seem as see he's a trickster, he knows nothing. Take the boy away, give him a good beating leaving I will see to it myself. But there was something beside you on the pillow. What you are wasting his Majesty's precious time? Take him away? Probably a few nights ago, a dagger unsheathed with emeralds, the pattern of a horse on it. You had your servant kild so that no one would know about it. You

fear everyone around you. You find it hard to sleep. You don't know who to trust. Who put it there? I see the color red, offended red. The envoy night is black, blood is red. And tell me the commander, the general who rode beside me in my dream? Will you be training? What do you think? He's in the dungeon right now? I will you have a chance to be training. Then you have answered your own question. But is he loyal? Is he loyal to me? Here's loyal? He will die for you. He would die for two Monday.

Release General Colt, Your majesty, I would advise against relief. And now this is of course you heard the sultar. What are you waiting for? Yes, and bring me mys envoy. I'm ready to see him. Now. I want to go home. Now, come with me and keep the boy here in the balace, majesty, I will need them later, but you promised spoken. Come. You can rest in my rooms. H what's going on? You are free to go, General Cooln. The Sultan commands

you to resume your duties. Good General, Yes, what your soul? General? Thank you? Fine, way to read your eye. So what's happening? It's over. We can do our jobs again if you want to. You have been treated badly, and I wouldn't blame you. With you and your cavalry left us returned to your homes in the mountains, and I wouldn't stop you. Well, there is a nice woman here who I would be sorry to lose. I think I'll stay, and we have work to do. I presume it has been found, then

the reliquary? What else? His majesty would like to be the first to share the news with you. Please. Perhaps I should have stayed closer to the Envoy has ordered. Perhaps I should have allied myself with him more firmly. It might have been a mistake. I fear your majesty, Lord Bread or maybe not. I hope your Majesty is sleeping well these days. I am despite your help, my help. The knife on the pillow beside me that morning, perhaps my Queen's doing. She wanted to kill you, She would

have done it, but she didn't. I hope that brings you some peace of mind. She's not your enemy. She is your friend. You made the right decision in holding the army. She just wants the scrolls, and if you give them to hers, she will leave you alone. So have you got them? Mhm? You know what? Put them in chains? What you can't do this? I am myles envoy. Here are the representative of the dead governor's wife, who shortly will meet the eighth She deserves thing. I know

the future. I have nothing to fear. I am ready for battle, and I will mark at the head of my armies and destroy your heart, Big Queen.
