They are taking the children away, doing something to them. I don't know who. There was a child, a child? She said. They come with knives and take children away. And did you stop to talk to anyone else while you were there? Oh, dear god, what have you done? You don't have a clue. Do you what you were seen? They know who you are, and you come to my house.

What who knows? Who cares? Something big? Just do your job like the torches. They'll be down for the baths. It's so warm. I'd like to be like them, having someone prepare my bad, cook my food, wipe my bad. Do you think they're going through fifty hands in their bath? You do it. I've seen you when you think no one is looking. What are you talking about? Behaving like you're His Holiness the inquisitor himself? Who is this? I bless you with this water? No? Wait, wait, what have I I never deny nice stopping. The children are the blank parchment on which God's world can leave it, and they will be down at any moment. Do you want to get us both killed? Here now? Like the torches? H? What's wrong with you? What's that something floating in there? Give me the torch? Is it? Yes? Fat bugger? No, nobody's swollen. It must have been here all night. Watch out, he might explode. It's the vizier, Oh, the grand Vizier. Cadi. Wait, what are you doing? We need to go and tell someone. They might think it was us. Do nothing. Leave him here, but let some other bastards find him, and they leave Cadali to his watery dreams. I used to wonder if I was the only one plagued by them. Now I know everyone drowns in memories. Memories. Hold you down, sir, he manew is plagued by nightmares of our own. Let's only with the women. Come on, leave them before now, bury your brother, then take your mother and leave by morning.

You'll be fine? Can I ask you something? What that man who came to the house last night? It was the inquisitor? The girl I was with, she told me it was him. Perhaps she was mistaken. Better not to know. What are you doing together? He is everything we're fighting against. Why don't you just kill him? You think it is that easy? He always has his guards with him. But why is he coming to your house? Don't you understand anything? You are so caught up in your own child's world. There is more at stake here than you could possibly know. I am the head of the medical institute. That is why he needs to see me. But you can just you think I can just not do my job? Have you any idea of the strain of keeping all these these blast balls in the air? You drop one and it smashes. That's why it's important you do what you're tone. You can't run a evolution with disobedience. Everyone has to play their part. Where exactly are we going? This? This is the way? There you go again, constantly questioning you shouldn't have come to my house last night? Where are we? You can stay here for now? You work for you keep you understand, Yes, but you can rest today. I can see you need rest. When would they return? Oh my friend, your husband said they would only beeve. How long have you known her? I don't really know her. We just met at the orphanage. Good o. Why just remember you are lucky you are here. Nothing is going to stop me getting my baby back, finding my husband, and killing the man who killed my father. Who is that man? His name is Gregor. He works under the inquisitor And you might be of use to us. You should be careful what you say. Girl. Take your height, keep it within you, let it grow inside you, let it fill you, and when your time comes, you will know what to do. M mhm h Peace be with you. All three still in leave? Wait? Yea okay? First time? What down here? Yes? They must really trust you or not? Where am I? This is where we meet. It's safest for us. It's still a part of the city they haven't been able to destroy. They will in time if we let them. Mhm mm hmm. And now you can come now see you on your realt or not. The traitor Cadi was found dead in the bathhouse with his wrists cut. This is the letter found in his room, his confession, may I, inquisitor, go on, I Kadi confessed to the murder of iffend Red. So that's it, then, Kadi, Well, well, who would have thought? Does he say more? Yes, Inquisitor, I'm afraid he does. We need to hear it then, to see what we can learn. Go on, Griffin. Maya and her followers have ruined the city. They killed Sultan Algori, who I loved and served, and I swore in my heart revenge on the enemy of two man Bay. It's beautiful, I waited Banncats not just a zalad. He's not just a butcher. My life is worth nothing. He's a poet too. I have served a writer of poetic fiction. Is here should My reward will be in paradise. You see enemies in every place you think you know people. But what of the slaves marching towards the swamps? Inquisitive one moment, father, because I want them brought back. But Inquisitive, the work of the great dands deemed essential, essential to who m hm. They should never have been sent if they're still alive, if they haven't died of plagues. Sent them to Maya, of course, because mm hmm. You're sure it was him, Gregor, inquisitive, You're sure it was him. It seems so he had access. We have his confession. It's definitely his writing. You're sure. Yes, Oh, so you know his hand? Do you know it very well? You can compare it? No? No, please, I trust you know your job, Gregor. That is why I have promoted you to investigator, isn't it? Isn't that why, inquisitor, why I promoted you? Yes today, because I trust you. I'm humbled to be worthy of your trust. It's just could anyone else have been involved? Was he connected to the rebels? Everything points to him having acted alone. That's it. That's your conclusion. You asked me to report my findings within the hour. The investigation will of course continue. Good because I was worried that was your conclusion, and I thought you had a more suspicious mind. The thing about suspicions, No one is above suspicion, are they? I even suspect myself sometimes? Do you suspect yourself? Gregor? No? What about the murder at the orphanage? Murder the director of the orphanage? What is happening to me? Throw cut in his sleep? You don't know. No, why not? Why don't you know? Are they connected? How? That's your job, isn't it, Gregor? You tell me now what other business we see the problem is? He's right. I used to have eyes on every street corner. There's nothing moved into Monday without me knowing about it first. And I promise Coolan, I would take care of her yourself. But I don't even know what I'm doing, let alone where she is more important things? Do you want me to investigate? Investigate the director of the orphanage? See if there is some link? Yes, why don't you do that? Why is he playing with me? He pulls me into his confidence and then pushes me away. There was a struggle, clearly. Did anyone see anything here? Anything? No, there was nothing unusual. They climbed out of the window. They there were two of them. See here, two sets of footprints in the dust. You're not the ghost, the ghost the ghost I saw last night? Go back inside? What are you doing? Wait, Hannah? Is it? Tell me about the ghost? There are two ghosts girls. One of them had a knife. I thought she'd come for me like they gave the others other children. Yes, they are required for the great work, which is the great work. Excellency. The director was well known for having friends visit at night. Clearly he made a mistake a fight. Yes, she was right. What do you mean she said, when you're scared, close your eyes and cant seven, you'll go to heaven. She was right. Yes, I used to say that once to a little girl called maw. Didn't tow us with my mama and cut down this way. What's the matter mann, this? This is the sultan. Yes, he lives with us. Now, I am your servants. My father served your uncle, the old Sultan. My brother he died fighting. Please, there is no need stand. We need to talk. Yes, let's get on with it. I need to get back to work. Yes, minnew the doctor here is concerned. Please we agreed. Not that she already knows who you are. Yes, but just as a matter of principle, we don't talk about our lives about out. We need to have discipline. That's why we're interesting. We are concerned a manel, Yes, that you are not quite who you claim to be. I am the daughter of General Kulan, commander of the armies of two men Bay, and like him, I will fight for two man Bay to my death if required. Not quite what. I have it on good authority that General Coolan swore an oath to Maya before being sent to the dishwary swamps. What why why did you kill the director of the orphanage? It was an accident, he woke up, he saw Was it to prevent him from talking to us? We needed him to talk to us, not to be dead. I'm sorry, who are you working for? I I don't understand. I'm trying to think. We have given her enough chances. She has failed every test. Thank god, we haven't trusted over our network. The damage can be contained. I think this is where we ended. I swear I'm not a traitor. We can't take that chance. So than I'm not comfortable with this. I knew her father. We can't take the risk. She has already undermined the plan. There is too much at stake. Yes, but I don't know. I don't know, majesty. We cannot let her know. Please, majesty, she has seen you? Yes, all right? Yes, no coming now, high and high hopes for you. I'm sorry it has ended this way. Wait, who are you? Who is this matter? Let her go and I'll come to my side. So you've betrayed us already. No, I haven't. We've been followed. Come here, ma l Come here knows you, and I know him only too well. He is my uncle and barter cats police dog. You don't want to kill me, You want to kill him. Yes, that's exactly who I am. Do you think I would have come alone? And if I am alone, why I've been watching you for months, you kid. I could have arrested you on the way home from the school where you teach Abrajan. Do you think I don't know that you're the bookkeeper in the palace scriptorium. You all have real lives above. I know who you are, and you're here for one reason only because I've let you survive. Without me, you wouldn't even be able to kill a goat, and you mad Sultan of two mon Bay. Everyone has been looking for you. I could have brought you back to the inquisitor at any time, but I didn't. You say there's something at the orphanage that she has prevented you from finding. But the doctor here knows it already, don't you know. No, I've been watching you a late night at the medical Institute. Inquisitive visits you there regularly, of course, of course I'm the headad of the institute. Yes, was his interest. You're closer to him than I. Why don't you ask him? What do you talk about? Nothing? Nobody talks about nothing. He often spends the night there. What are you up to? Look, you can't trust him. He's Barracat spy. Take him, Take him. They want the answer to the soul. Everyone knows Baracat is obsessed with finding the soul. Why I don't, Oh, I don't know. He thinks the soul can be discovered, that it can be physically repaired. He talks to me about that, we carry out post mortems. It's all nonsense. But I have to humor him. I have to show him that I'm taking his theory seriously. I have to maintain his trust so that when the time comes, we can strike satisfied. At the moment, why have you come here? Because I need to protect my niece. She's in grave danger. I don't want your protection, though, but you will get it. Nonetheless, she's not only a danger to you but to me. I want to send her out of the city, get her away from here. And why should we let you live? So he can finish our work. Of course, our work. You need me on your side. Do you think I wouldn't have had you all rounded up by now if I wasn't on your side. Release her. You need to get away from two Monday. I need to stay and fight. There is nothing you can do here now. They're looking for you. They have taken your mother. I know we went to the house. That's another reason I need to stay. And it will take you to get in. Get in. No, there's someone I need to help first. What are you talking about? They will be looking for her too. I'm not leaving the city without her. Who is she? A young mother? They took her baby, executed her father for possessing some books. Books, yes, books. He was a merchant, a slave merchant. How did you know his daughter is called Heaven? Yes? Heaven? Are you all right? Uncle? She wants her child and Manel wants her freedom. I want I'm losing your sense of what I want, uncle, and I don't know what else I can do. Yes, how can I help you? My husband? I don't need your husband, madam. I'm looking for the young lady. What young lady? Let's not play games. Two women came to your house last night, this one here, but no, put the knife down. I've come to help you. I want you to think of my father's face as you killed him, when I want you to look into my eyes as I kill you. I did what I did because he was my friend, because you could not. It was the last favor I could do for him, to save his daughter from having to kill him. Could you have lived with yourself if you'd killed your father? Put the knife down. Heaven he can help you find your child. Please, m you're in grave danger. They're searching for you both. You cannot stay in the city we were seeing. I'm not going without my baby. That can come later. I'm not leaving without my I will find your baby when you come back. You need to move fast. It's true. It's true. Heaven through here. Where are we going? There was a man I know for Ibliss. He'll take you through the walls and then what the mountains. There are some people I trust there. You'll be safe there until and so what uncle? This is it? Excellency? Come in down there? Everything is all rage. Go with him? Two girls, you said one two. Now it's not so simple. The pannels of the gatekeepers there are dangerous. Take this, and why aren't you coming with us? Uncle? Uncle? I'm not you Monell. There is nothing for me outside to Monday. This is where I was made, this is where I will die. I'll go with him, and now heaven we will meet again, and I will help you. I promise you swear. I swear on anything that's left sacred. Now come, that's right. People always have their reasons to escape the city. My philosophy never ask Some are wanted for something or another. Hey, hey, keep your head covered. We're not safe yet. You want to draw attention to yourself. Some find it too hard in the city, what with all the new laws. Others where they think they can find a better life somewhere else. Me. I don't ask that. Sometimes I don't even take money from him. Desperate families without a gold coin between them. So you're an unusual pair. What you're on the run or something? I thought you said? You don't, Hey, I just we need to keep moving. There are patrols everywhere. Are you all right? I'm fine. It's just every hurts. Young girl like you. You should be a league ahead of an old man like me. What's wrong with your girl? She's just given birth to a child. You you that I'm all right now, let's go. The sun will come up soon. We need to get to the foothills so we'll have no shelter. Look, take good care of her. If you don't, I will come for you. You understand what this is? Where we part company? Where are you going to the swamps to my father? You will be safe in the mountains. Good luck. I hope you find your child one day. You won't die out head, that's disease. Then I will die. I am going to find my father. He'll be did you don't know my father? Wait? Who? I'm coming with you? I don't like him? All right? Just don't slow me down. Fine, you're not You're fools. Will die now? How could you be so blind? M hm? Can't you see what's right in front of you? Wake up and open your eyes? Wake up? Wake up? Wake up? Wa come? No, no, no? Wake up? What where where are I? We were having a bad dream? Are you all right? Yes? Bad times? Yes? How did someone like you become a someone like me? Well? I know who you are, your family, your father, to invase great commander, to grow up with that privilege, I suppose it would seem like that that I was constrained by my life, by my parents. And then I met someone. His name was Daniel. He was an officer under my father's command. He promised me many things that he was deceiving me. How he was in the service of Maya all along, an infiltrator. He betrayed us. I blame him for everything. They killed my brother when they came to our house and they but maybe in some ways I should thank him, thank him. I'm no longer scared of what might happen. What about you put the fare out? Quickly, quickly put it out? What is it? Writers? Who are they? The moon's reflecting off the armor? Mm hmm? How many? M? Ten twenty? They're heading to do in beIN quiet down? Why they don't sell the smoke from our fire? M I think they've got Dally's rooms. He didn't kill offendly Red. However treacherous he might have been, he was never a fool. What secreence did he keep? There? You are better? I've been looking for you, Yes, Earliness, Do you need something? What are you doing? My job finding out if Cadally was part of a wider conspiracy? And have you found anything? Not yet? But the work continues. I admire you, Greco. I'm sorry, so Faro, I mean everything you do and loyal Thank you? Are you loyal? I hope I have demonstrated to you that I am. To me personally, yes, and to Maya she has shown me the true path. Mm hm. So you have changed from what you were. Of course I have changed beyond all measures because some say never mind. I admire loyalty, Grecor. I want to reward you for what you have done. There's really mean there is. I want to reward you for what you have done, and remember Baracut never lies. Thank you. I feel sometimes that I have known you record for a long time, but of course I've been here onlier. Now you need to saddle up and meet our guests. Guests the delegation from our leader. They have been cited. I want you to ride out with the palace guard and welcome them. They will be bringing confirmation of my position as regent of two many. Send word when you have arrived back at the palace, of course, But where should I send word? To medical institute? I have some urgent business there battle cats. Urgent business? Am I his business? Is this a slow execution? Even as he talks to me like his childhood friend. What is your show him the orders? If I told this man of truth, did I no longer know? Let us pass, please, excellency of of course, open the deaths, keep watch for our return. Of course. It's the medical institute, always, the medical institute with the doctor who looks more sick than the bodies on the slabs and souls. He's searching for souls. Sire, What I said, what are our instructions? Instructions for? What the delegation they are waiting there? Oh? Good, well bring them over? Yeah, whatever madness it is. He seems to have lost his grip since the death of Offendi Red Cooler. And I need a plan. You always knew what to do. We need to plan because I don't want to die for two Monday. Is this the welcome? My envoy receives a tired looking policeman and a handful of scruffy horsemith Sarah, we had no idea, Hello, greglor remember me, Oh god, my brother's blue eyed boy. I'm Daniel.

We had faith that the empire of Mammon was an empire of sand, and now we have come to finish it. Finish it. Take us through the palace and find Baracut. I look into Sarah's eyes, and she looks through me. I'm invisible to her. I'm disappearing. I could be that fly whisked away by the horse's tail. M yeah, yeah, why are you stopping? Keep going? What's wrong? Doctor? The child has passed into the next world. There are more, well, just take another and start again. The child was dying anyway, wasn't he doctor? Then it is God's will continue on the corpse. What do you want me to do? We need to continue before the soul is returned to God. We have until sunrise, when the soul will join its maker. Come on, you are close, aren't you. Doctor? You told me, yes, yes, so close. You see the lightness here. In fact, I don't need to operate anymore. So you have found it anyway.

They will in time if we let them. Mhm mm hmm. And now you can come now see you on your realt or not. The traitor Cadi was found dead in the bathhouse with his wrists cut. This is the letter found in his room, his confession, may I, inquisitor, go on, I Kadi confessed to the murder of iffend Red. So that's it, then, Kadi, Well, well, who would have thought? Does he say more? Yes, Inquisitor, I'm afraid he does. We need to hear it then, to see what we can learn. Go on, Griffin. Maya and her followers have ruined the city. They killed Sultan Algori, who I loved and served, and I swore in my heart revenge on the enemy of two man Bay. It's beautiful, I waited Banncats not just a zalad. He's not just a butcher. My life is worth nothing. He's a poet too. I have served a writer of poetic fiction. Is here should My reward will be in paradise. You see enemies in every place you think you know people. But what of the slaves marching towards the swamps? Inquisitive one moment, father, because I want them brought back. But Inquisitive, the work of the great dands deemed essential, essential to who m hm. They should never have been sent if they're still alive, if they haven't died of plagues. Sent them to Maya, of course, because mm hmm. You're sure it was him, Gregor, inquisitive, You're sure it was him. It seems so he had access. We have his confession. It's definitely his writing. You're sure. Yes, Oh, so you know his hand? Do you know it very well? You can compare it? No? No, please, I trust you know your job, Gregor. That is why I have promoted you to investigator, isn't it? Isn't that why, inquisitor, why I promoted you? Yes today, because I trust you. I'm humbled to be worthy of your trust. It's just could anyone else have been involved? Was he connected to the rebels? Everything points to him having acted alone. That's it. That's your conclusion. You asked me to report my findings within the hour. The investigation will of course continue. Good because I was worried that was your conclusion, and I thought you had a more suspicious mind. The thing about suspicions, No one is above suspicion, are they? I even suspect myself sometimes? Do you suspect yourself? Gregor? No? What about the murder at the orphanage? Murder the director of the orphanage? What is happening to me? Throw cut in his sleep? You don't know. No, why not? Why don't you know? Are they connected? How? That's your job, isn't it, Gregor? You tell me now what other business we see the problem is? He's right. I used to have eyes on every street corner. There's nothing moved into Monday without me knowing about it first. And I promise Coolan, I would take care of her yourself. But I don't even know what I'm doing, let alone where she is more important things? Do you want me to investigate? Investigate the director of the orphanage? See if there is some link? Yes, why don't you do that? Why is he playing with me? He pulls me into his confidence and then pushes me away. There was a struggle, clearly. Did anyone see anything here? Anything? No, there was nothing unusual. They climbed out of the window. They there were two of them. See here, two sets of footprints in the dust. You're not the ghost, the ghost the ghost I saw last night? Go back inside? What are you doing? Wait, Hannah? Is it? Tell me about the ghost? There are two ghosts girls. One of them had a knife. I thought she'd come for me like they gave the others other children. Yes, they are required for the great work, which is the great work. Excellency. The director was well known for having friends visit at night. Clearly he made a mistake a fight. Yes, she was right. What do you mean she said, when you're scared, close your eyes and cant seven, you'll go to heaven. She was right. Yes, I used to say that once to a little girl called maw. Didn't tow us with my mama and cut down this way. What's the matter mann, this? This is the sultan. Yes, he lives with us. Now, I am your servants. My father served your uncle, the old Sultan. My brother he died fighting. Please, there is no need stand. We need to talk. Yes, let's get on with it. I need to get back to work. Yes, minnew the doctor here is concerned. Please we agreed. Not that she already knows who you are. Yes, but just as a matter of principle, we don't talk about our lives about out. We need to have discipline. That's why we're interesting. We are concerned a manel, Yes, that you are not quite who you claim to be. I am the daughter of General Kulan, commander of the armies of two men Bay, and like him, I will fight for two man Bay to my death if required. Not quite what. I have it on good authority that General Coolan swore an oath to Maya before being sent to the dishwary swamps. What why why did you kill the director of the orphanage? It was an accident, he woke up, he saw Was it to prevent him from talking to us? We needed him to talk to us, not to be dead. I'm sorry, who are you working for? I I don't understand. I'm trying to think. We have given her enough chances. She has failed every test. Thank god, we haven't trusted over our network. The damage can be contained. I think this is where we ended. I swear I'm not a traitor. We can't take that chance. So than I'm not comfortable with this. I knew her father. We can't take the risk. She has already undermined the plan. There is too much at stake. Yes, but I don't know. I don't know, majesty. We cannot let her know. Please, majesty, she has seen you? Yes, all right? Yes, no coming now, high and high hopes for you. I'm sorry it has ended this way. Wait, who are you? Who is this matter? Let her go and I'll come to my side. So you've betrayed us already. No, I haven't. We've been followed. Come here, ma l Come here knows you, and I know him only too well. He is my uncle and barter cats police dog. You don't want to kill me, You want to kill him. Yes, that's exactly who I am. Do you think I would have come alone? And if I am alone, why I've been watching you for months, you kid. I could have arrested you on the way home from the school where you teach Abrajan. Do you think I don't know that you're the bookkeeper in the palace scriptorium. You all have real lives above. I know who you are, and you're here for one reason only because I've let you survive. Without me, you wouldn't even be able to kill a goat, and you mad Sultan of two mon Bay. Everyone has been looking for you. I could have brought you back to the inquisitor at any time, but I didn't. You say there's something at the orphanage that she has prevented you from finding. But the doctor here knows it already, don't you know. No, I've been watching you a late night at the medical Institute. Inquisitive visits you there regularly, of course, of course I'm the headad of the institute. Yes, was his interest. You're closer to him than I. Why don't you ask him? What do you talk about? Nothing? Nobody talks about nothing. He often spends the night there. What are you up to? Look, you can't trust him. He's Barracat spy. Take him, Take him. They want the answer to the soul. Everyone knows Baracat is obsessed with finding the soul. Why I don't, Oh, I don't know. He thinks the soul can be discovered, that it can be physically repaired. He talks to me about that, we carry out post mortems. It's all nonsense. But I have to humor him. I have to show him that I'm taking his theory seriously. I have to maintain his trust so that when the time comes, we can strike satisfied. At the moment, why have you come here? Because I need to protect my niece. She's in grave danger. I don't want your protection, though, but you will get it. Nonetheless, she's not only a danger to you but to me. I want to send her out of the city, get her away from here. And why should we let you live? So he can finish our work. Of course, our work. You need me on your side. Do you think I wouldn't have had you all rounded up by now if I wasn't on your side. Release her. You need to get away from two Monday. I need to stay and fight. There is nothing you can do here now. They're looking for you. They have taken your mother. I know we went to the house. That's another reason I need to stay. And it will take you to get in. Get in. No, there's someone I need to help first. What are you talking about? They will be looking for her too. I'm not leaving the city without her. Who is she? A young mother? They took her baby, executed her father for possessing some books. Books, yes, books. He was a merchant, a slave merchant. How did you know his daughter is called Heaven? Yes? Heaven? Are you all right? Uncle? She wants her child and Manel wants her freedom. I want I'm losing your sense of what I want, uncle, and I don't know what else I can do. Yes, how can I help you? My husband? I don't need your husband, madam. I'm looking for the young lady. What young lady? Let's not play games. Two women came to your house last night, this one here, but no, put the knife down. I've come to help you. I want you to think of my father's face as you killed him, when I want you to look into my eyes as I kill you. I did what I did because he was my friend, because you could not. It was the last favor I could do for him, to save his daughter from having to kill him. Could you have lived with yourself if you'd killed your father? Put the knife down. Heaven he can help you find your child. Please, m you're in grave danger. They're searching for you both. You cannot stay in the city we were seeing. I'm not going without my baby. That can come later. I'm not leaving without my I will find your baby when you come back. You need to move fast. It's true. It's true. Heaven through here. Where are we going? There was a man I know for Ibliss. He'll take you through the walls and then what the mountains. There are some people I trust there. You'll be safe there until and so what uncle? This is it? Excellency? Come in down there? Everything is all rage. Go with him? Two girls, you said one two. Now it's not so simple. The pannels of the gatekeepers there are dangerous. Take this, and why aren't you coming with us? Uncle? Uncle? I'm not you Monell. There is nothing for me outside to Monday. This is where I was made, this is where I will die. I'll go with him, and now heaven we will meet again, and I will help you. I promise you swear. I swear on anything that's left sacred. Now come, that's right. People always have their reasons to escape the city. My philosophy never ask Some are wanted for something or another. Hey, hey, keep your head covered. We're not safe yet. You want to draw attention to yourself. Some find it too hard in the city, what with all the new laws. Others where they think they can find a better life somewhere else. Me. I don't ask that. Sometimes I don't even take money from him. Desperate families without a gold coin between them. So you're an unusual pair. What you're on the run or something? I thought you said? You don't, Hey, I just we need to keep moving. There are patrols everywhere. Are you all right? I'm fine. It's just every hurts. Young girl like you. You should be a league ahead of an old man like me. What's wrong with your girl? She's just given birth to a child. You you that I'm all right now, let's go. The sun will come up soon. We need to get to the foothills so we'll have no shelter. Look, take good care of her. If you don't, I will come for you. You understand what this is? Where we part company? Where are you going to the swamps to my father? You will be safe in the mountains. Good luck. I hope you find your child one day. You won't die out head, that's disease. Then I will die. I am going to find my father. He'll be did you don't know my father? Wait? Who? I'm coming with you? I don't like him? All right? Just don't slow me down. Fine, you're not You're fools. Will die now? How could you be so blind? M hm? Can't you see what's right in front of you? Wake up and open your eyes? Wake up? Wake up? Wake up? Wa come? No, no, no? Wake up? What where where are I? We were having a bad dream? Are you all right? Yes? Bad times? Yes? How did someone like you become a someone like me? Well? I know who you are, your family, your father, to invase great commander, to grow up with that privilege, I suppose it would seem like that that I was constrained by my life, by my parents. And then I met someone. His name was Daniel. He was an officer under my father's command. He promised me many things that he was deceiving me. How he was in the service of Maya all along, an infiltrator. He betrayed us. I blame him for everything. They killed my brother when they came to our house and they but maybe in some ways I should thank him, thank him. I'm no longer scared of what might happen. What about you put the fare out? Quickly, quickly put it out? What is it? Writers? Who are they? The moon's reflecting off the armor? Mm hmm? How many? M? Ten twenty? They're heading to do in beIN quiet down? Why they don't sell the smoke from our fire? M I think they've got Dally's rooms. He didn't kill offendly Red. However treacherous he might have been, he was never a fool. What secreence did he keep? There? You are better? I've been looking for you, Yes, Earliness, Do you need something? What are you doing? My job finding out if Cadally was part of a wider conspiracy? And have you found anything? Not yet? But the work continues. I admire you, Greco. I'm sorry, so Faro, I mean everything you do and loyal Thank you? Are you loyal? I hope I have demonstrated to you that I am. To me personally, yes, and to Maya she has shown me the true path. Mm hm. So you have changed from what you were. Of course I have changed beyond all measures because some say never mind. I admire loyalty, Grecor. I want to reward you for what you have done. There's really mean there is. I want to reward you for what you have done, and remember Baracut never lies. Thank you. I feel sometimes that I have known you record for a long time, but of course I've been here onlier. Now you need to saddle up and meet our guests. Guests the delegation from our leader. They have been cited. I want you to ride out with the palace guard and welcome them. They will be bringing confirmation of my position as regent of two many. Send word when you have arrived back at the palace, of course, But where should I send word? To medical institute? I have some urgent business there battle cats. Urgent business? Am I his business? Is this a slow execution? Even as he talks to me like his childhood friend. What is your show him the orders? If I told this man of truth, did I no longer know? Let us pass, please, excellency of of course, open the deaths, keep watch for our return. Of course. It's the medical institute, always, the medical institute with the doctor who looks more sick than the bodies on the slabs and souls. He's searching for souls. Sire, What I said, what are our instructions? Instructions for? What the delegation they are waiting there? Oh? Good, well bring them over? Yeah, whatever madness it is. He seems to have lost his grip since the death of Offendi Red Cooler. And I need a plan. You always knew what to do. We need to plan because I don't want to die for two Monday. Is this the welcome? My envoy receives a tired looking policeman and a handful of scruffy horsemith Sarah, we had no idea, Hello, greglor remember me, Oh god, my brother's blue eyed boy. I'm Daniel. I served under your brother, General Coolan, served or betrayed him. It is fitting Daniel and I first came here as slaves trusted and we believed. We had faith that the empire of Mammon was an empire of sand, and now we have come to finish it. Finish it. Take us through the palace and find Baracut. I look into Sarah's eyes, and she looks through me. I'm invisible to her. I'm disappearing. I could be that fly whisked away by the horse's tail. M yeah, yeah, why are you stopping? Keep going? What's wrong? Doctor? The child has passed into the next world. There are more, well, just take another and start again. The child was dying anyway, wasn't he doctor? Then it is God's will continue on the corpse. What do you want me to do? We need to continue before the soul is returned to God. We have until sunrise, when the soul will join its maker. Come on, you are close, aren't you. Doctor? You told me, yes, yes, so close. You see the lightness here. In fact, I don't need to operate anymore. So you have found it anyway.
