00:18According to my charts, we should be very near Aborea.
00:27Not a breath of wind.
00:28It's called the doldrums.
00:31It's strictly a passing atmospheric condition.
00:33Passing?
00:34When?
00:34How long's it been now?
00:36Well, I estimate we've been drifting roughly 36 chickens, 40 loaves of bread, and 12 skins
00:46of water.
00:48You, you're just lucky you're a member of the crew.
00:52Neither of us appreciates your sense of humor.
00:58Maeve, we're all just feeling a little...
01:01Hungry.
01:02Yeah.
01:03And thirsty.
01:04That too.
01:05Doomed.
01:06Well, I wouldn't go that far.
01:09Come on, everybody.
01:10Cheer up.
01:11Well, like Farooz says, there's gotta be land nearby.
01:16All right, boys, secure this square!
01:18Aye, aye, sir!
01:20Give me your hand!
01:21Pull the top down!
01:23Pull the top down!
01:24Pull the top down!
01:24Steady!
01:27There!
01:27I can smell the land.
01:30And see?
01:31A gust of offshore wind.
01:33I didn't feel any wind.
01:35Did you feel any wind?
01:41Not a breath of wind.
01:43And yet, lanterns blow out.
01:47Zails fill.
01:49At this accelerated rate, given the fact darkness shrouds any potential land masses, shouldn't we be more concerned about...
01:57I'm concerned.
01:58I'm very concerned.
02:01How can this be happening?
02:03Hold it down!
02:04There's no wind!
02:05Take a sounding!
02:07All hands!
02:08Reduce sails!
02:11Two more!
02:12Get to the tiller!
02:13Quickly!
02:16cinnamon!
02:20What's the panic?
02:22I would think right now that would be a very good thing!
02:24But we're sailing blind!
02:26We...
02:26We can run to ground!
02:28We got a drop of sail!
02:33Here we go!
02:34Come on!
02:36Go steady!
02:41Is it bad?
02:42The water's getting shallower!
02:45Tumar! Hardly!
02:48Bring us about! Fast!
02:57Keep trying. We gotta bring these sails down!
03:03What in the name of...
03:07It's got a mind of its own!
03:09It's as if it wants us to run aground!
03:12Ragnar! Drop anchor! Hurry!
03:16It's no use! It's possessed!
03:39We've had a sandbar!
03:43We've got a sandbar!
03:48We've got a sandbar!
03:55We've got a sandbar!
03:55All right, Lella!
03:56Huh.
03:58At least we're not stuck in the doldrums anymore.
04:01I better go down and check the damage.
04:03Look. There. I can see it. Behold.
04:12The Kingdom of Abaria?
04:14I think I'd rather be stuck in the doldrums.
04:33You... you... you must not land here.
04:38With my own eyes, I have seen the dead walk.
04:44I have seen the dead bleed.
04:48There be... there be ghosts here.
04:54Go. Go now.
04:58Take me with you.
04:59Heath!
05:11He's dead, Sinbad.
05:40The End
08:54No, it's a boy.
08:57A frightened little boy.
08:59How can you be so sure?
09:26Strange.
09:27The noise seems to be coming from right here.
09:30Is it just me or did it suddenly get chilly?
09:36Unworldly.
09:39What more proof do you need?
09:42No, it's of this world.
09:44Damp air meets cold stone.
09:46It's called condensation.
09:53Fair.
09:53It's coming from over there.
09:57It's coming from over there.
10:01It's coming from over there.
10:30Sinbad.
10:34You were strangers.
10:36Welcome to what was once.
10:38Welcome to what was once Arborea.
10:40Those horsemen did this?
10:42These were the last of my knights.
10:45Now none remain who are loyal to me.
10:47But you're all right.
10:49Funny, isn't it?
10:50So much death and yet they miss their aim.
10:54But one still lives.
10:55The one that matters most.
10:57How angry Drax will be when he finds out.
11:07Pardon me, young sir.
11:09But I was led to believe that the kingdom of Arborea was a peaceful, happy place.
11:13Blessed with fruitful abundance, blue skies, famous for its strawberries.
11:18It was all that and more.
11:19At least while King Alderaan lived in Southern Throne.
11:23Who sits there now?
11:24Drax.
11:25He was Alderaan's most trusted advisor and friend.
11:28He betrayed Alderaan.
11:30He imprisoned his queen.
11:32He seized the throne.
11:33That was just three moons ago.
11:36Yet in that brief time, this once happy place has been transformed into a kingdom of sorrows.
11:43How tragic.
11:44I will destroy the Tyrant.
11:46And I'll lift the curse.
11:48And this will be Arborea once again.
11:51Those warriors on horseback are what you're up against.
11:54You'll have your work cut out for you, little man.
11:57They are many and strong.
11:59But I hold the secret to the Tyrant's undoing.
12:03You do?
12:05Drax will not rest.
12:06He cannot rest.
12:07At least while the rightful heir to the throne still lives.
12:10You.
12:12I am Prince Xander, son of King Alderaan, Prince of Arborea.
12:21It's a miracle you survived.
12:24How did they miss you?
12:28I play dead.
12:31A very practical solution.
12:33A boy your age should be surrounded by laughter and friends, not death.
12:39Twice I have failed my father.
12:41Three moons ago in the battle in which he fell.
12:43And again today, I shall never prove myself as a warrior.
12:48No.
12:49You mustn't rush.
12:51You will have years ahead of you to prove yourself.
12:54I'm not used to being touched by commoners.
12:58Well, you may have to get over that.
13:01If we're gonna help you.
13:04Come on.
13:05We must hurry.
13:07Every moment that passes puts my mother in greater danger.
13:10Where do we find this Drax?
13:12My father's castle.
13:13On the far side of the forest.
13:14Come on.
13:17He knows more than he's saying.
13:19I'm telling you, something's not right here.
13:22Termit trusts him.
13:23It's good enough for me.
13:24Brother, he needs us.
13:27Just as we once needed Dim Dim.
13:49No, it only seems we're lost.
13:51Don't worry.
13:52I know where I'm going.
14:00Sinbad.
14:01Lurking out there.
14:02Did you see it?
14:07No.
14:10I think we're all just getting a little punchy.
14:13We've been walking for hours.
14:17Look.
14:18Look.
14:23See this flower?
14:25It means the tyrant's hold over the kingdom is not yet secure.
14:28There's still hope.
14:39We must hurry.
14:41Your mother's in danger.
14:42Whoa there, my prince.
14:43We're all exhausted.
14:45We need a rest.
14:46No, not yet.
14:47We cannot.
14:48Don't you understand?
14:50Drax never rests.
15:00Damnation!
15:02How hard is it to kill a little boy?
15:04I wouldn't know.
15:05Not in my line, really.
15:07Oh, you and your scruples.
15:09Any wizard worth his salt would have rid me of that brat months ago.
15:13Oh, but no.
15:15You're too sensitive.
15:20There's your man now.
15:22Good news, perhaps.
15:25I hope.
15:26Another night like the last, I shall go mad.
15:29Enter!
15:34Good news, your majesty.
15:36Close the door, you idiot.
15:40Well, the prince is dead, sire.
15:44By my own hand.
15:45Really?
15:47Oh, at last.
15:49At last!
15:50Excellent!
15:54When was this?
15:56Early last night, before the rising of the moon.
15:59Liar!
16:00I didn't sleep a wink last night.
16:03Alderaan's curse.
16:04That die-hard fiend.
16:05I beat him in a fair fight.
16:08And still he puts this curse on me.
16:11Well, it was you who gave them the idea, sire.
16:15You see, as he plunged the sword into King Alderaan and gave it a twist,
16:22Drax said,
16:23I shall not rest until the last of your line is snuffed out.
16:27And the king of this dying word said,
16:29So be it.
16:30Let that be my curse, hellhound.
16:33That was three moons ago, and our lord and master has not slept since.
16:40And I won't, while that little brat still lives.
16:44My liege!
16:45I struck him down with my battle axe!
16:48He is dead!
16:49I swear!
16:51Is he?
16:53We shall see.
16:56Tiresias.
16:58Find him.
16:59Show him to me.
17:00Please, please, your majesty.
17:02You know it gives me headaches.
17:03Time you earned your keep around here, wizard.
17:07Smart treat.
17:09Smart treat.
17:11Let us see what needs to be seen.
17:16Oh, God.
17:18Oh, God.
17:20Not only is he alive and well, but he's made some friends.
17:24And he's coming this way.
17:26That's impossible.
17:27I saw him fall.
17:28I have heard it before.
17:30Three moons ago, on the battlefield which Alderaan fell,
17:34an archer came to me.
17:35Sire, I killed the prince!
17:37Buried my arrow deep into his back, up to the feathers.
17:41Oh, so the man said.
17:44As you can see,
17:47I think both of you were a little optimistic.
17:52You must have a guardian angel protecting him,
17:55or the devil himself!
17:56The only protection he has is your incompetence!
18:01Now, you know where he is?
18:04Hmm?
18:05Take as many warriors as you need.
18:07I want him dead before the sun sets.
18:11And this time, bring me back his head.
18:14Or by God, I shall have yours.
18:27Where's the prince?
18:30Have you seen him?
18:55Prince Xander?
19:09Not again, cheater.
19:11How do you do that?
19:21Can I try that game?
19:26I warn you, I'm pretty hard to fool.
19:29Not as hard as Dermot,
19:30but he does have the eyes of a hawk, of course.
19:33You're lucky to have Dermot.
19:34He's more than just a pet, isn't he?
19:36Oh, yeah.
19:37He's a friend.
19:38He's more than that even, isn't he?
19:44This one.
19:49You're pretty good at this.
19:51I'll bet you used to be to all of your friends.
19:56Yeah, brothers, sisters.
19:59Nothing that I'll ever know.
20:02What do you mean?
20:08Well, you know,
20:09I've had more than a passing acquaintance
20:11with loneliness myself.
20:13You think you know what loneliness is?
20:15You don't.
20:16I never had a friend in my whole life.
20:19Now it's too late.
20:21It's never too late to open the door
20:23and let someone in.
20:39That's okay.
20:41You don't have to rush things.
20:44One step at a time.
20:47Dermot's lucky to have you, too, Maeve.
20:51Over there!
20:52Shh!
20:53Be back!
20:54Help!
20:57Come on!
21:19Drop your weapons or the wench dies!
21:42How brave for one so young.
21:46And now, little prince, you die.
21:50No!
21:54No!
21:55No!
21:56Don't kill the boy!
21:58Sinbad, do something!
22:11It's the devil!
22:41No!
22:42I never asked my experiment was so effective.
22:44Yes, good work, Farooz.
22:47Sinbad!
22:48The boy's hurt!
22:58Are you all right?
23:00I thought it was my father's ghost come to punish me.
23:03Punish you for what, Prince Xander?
23:06Why would you be afraid of your father?
23:10There was so much blood.
23:12And the noise.
23:14I could hear the bones breaking.
23:16The horses screaming.
23:18I couldn't breathe.
23:21I ran away.
23:24I flied from the field the day my father died.
23:28I was a coward.
23:40You should have seen me at my first battle.
23:43Scythian horsemen to the left of us.
23:46Banshees to the right.
23:48Saber-toothed tigers flying overhead.
23:50All attacking at once.
23:52And me, with my little drum.
23:57I tell you I dove for cover quicker than you can say Alibaba and the 40 thieves.
24:03You're hit.
24:04You bet.
24:05I didn't come out until I was sure the coast was clear.
24:09About a week later.
24:11Look.
24:12Sometimes your instincts are right.
24:15You're still here aren't you?
24:19Yes.
24:20And that's why Drax is quaking in his boots right now.
24:23Who would you call yourself a coward?
24:26Dubar.
24:27Rongar.
24:28You see how he faced down that goon with the battle axe?
24:30Aye.
24:31Didn't even blink.
24:32I was amazed.
24:34As was I.
24:34My prince, I've known cowards.
24:39Believe me.
24:41They're no cowards.
24:47Ah, there.
24:59Now, all is in readiness for the prince's homecoming.
25:02Oh, look.
25:04I even bought decorations.
25:07See?
25:09Now, I shall await him in the throne room.
25:12With the other end of that rope in my hand.
25:15Oh, and one tug, my dear.
25:16Whew.
25:18Poor boy's an orphan.
25:20Nothing like a visit from her little boy to touch a mother's heart.
25:27Didn't have to be this way, my lovely.
25:30Still doesn't.
25:32The offer still stands.
25:36Marry me.
25:38Become my queen.
25:40Prince Sanders shall still be heir to the throne.
25:44Oh, and if, I haven't forbid, something unfortunate should happen to him,
25:49Well, well, you and I, we will have other sons to take his place.
26:01What's this?
26:02Oh.
26:04Oh, your little heart's beating like a frightened sparrow.
26:08I don't think I ever heard a heart beat so fast.
26:12I don't think I ever heard a heart beat so fast.
26:17I'm too late.
26:20I'm too late.
26:22I'm too late.
26:24I'm too late.
26:32I'm too late.
26:39I'm too late.
26:44You see?
26:45The slim little nymph you once were, my dear.
26:47Well, we should take care of that.
26:50Tiresias, cut the queen's rations of moldy bread and ditch water in half.
26:54Your majesty, hasn't she suffered enough?
26:57She needn't suffer at all if she would only say two little words.
27:07I do.
27:09So be it.
27:11Married to a corpse and soon to be mother of another.
27:17Please help me, Tiresias.
27:22Come, old man.
27:59I've seen the dead walk.
28:02The dead bleed.
28:06The ghost.
28:08It was you.
28:10If Drax finds out, my mother is doomed.
28:12The whole kingdom is doomed.
28:14I can tell you, not anyone.
28:16What would your friends have done if they'd have known?
28:18But they've helped me.
28:20I've become an evil thing.
28:22An unholy thing.
28:24I'm trusted by no one.
28:26Despised by everyone.
28:28Now you know what I meant about loneliness.
28:31But why hide it?
28:33You saw how those soldiers panicked, and that was just for ruse in a stupid get-up.
28:40Why not let your enemies know what you've become?
28:43Use their fear against them.
28:45No.
28:46No.
28:46Nobody can know.
28:48If Drax were to find out, that would be the end of everything.
28:50But why?
28:53Trust.
28:54Trust me.
29:00The place is still as a tomb.
29:02Did you have to say tomb?
29:06What is that god-awful noise anyway?
29:09More.
29:10It's too soon.
29:11She's not safe yet.
29:12No.
29:12No.
29:32But it's not too late.
29:34I'm not too late.
29:37No.
29:38By eternal shame, she was either serve him or be killed.
29:42The Queen Tyresis, where is she?
29:44That's why I came to warn you.
29:46She's imprisoned in the North Tower above the Thoneroon,
29:50and there's a crossbow pointing at her heart.
29:53If you go barging in there, he'll kill her.
29:56No harm has come to her.
29:57She's not well.
29:58Her condition is delicate.
30:03We'll use the secret tunnel into the court, yeah?
30:21There must be some guards here.
30:25You had to ask.
30:26Kill the Prince!
30:28Go to the Prince!
30:35Help me!
30:36Go!
30:44Oh!
30:48Whoah!
30:51Whah!
30:51Ah, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!
30:55Hjjjjjj!
30:58Ken you!
31:02Uh!
31:03Oh, yeah.
31:49Come on, quick. We'll use a turret entrance into the castle.
32:02Up the stairs, quickly. Drax will soon know of us.
32:06Help! Look out!
32:16Come on!
32:45Go to the mave!
32:49Ah!
33:01Oh!
33:06Ah!
33:28Well? Don't tell me you've come alone.
33:34What? Brought a witch with you?
33:37A friend.
33:38Weren't there others?
33:40You don't see them now, do you?
34:04What made you come here, wretched little puppy?
34:08I came to offer you one final chance to save yourself, Drax. Surrender the throne.
34:15Ah!
34:16Well, that would make Papa proud.
34:19Spare the boy, Drax.
34:22And not make it worth your while.
34:25And why would I do that?
34:26Mm-hmm.
34:30You would do that.
34:31Mm-hmm.
34:34Mm.
34:51Ah!
34:53Oh, my God.
35:29Sinbad, I must take you to the Queen.
35:34You go out ahead, we'll watch your back, please.
35:40You'd sacrifice yourself for the... boy?
35:44You make it sound such a chore.
35:47You're a good-looking man.
36:11There are others, aren't there?
36:14Yes.
36:18Donut, get him!
36:30I can't get this thing off me!
36:48A very commendable effort, my dear.
36:52But too little, too late.
36:54The only question now is, which of you shall go first?
36:59Fire!
37:01They're here!
37:04What?
37:06Mother!
37:07Xander, I'm fine.
37:09No!
37:12Mame, stop him!
37:15Die!
37:20You're dead.
37:22You've been dead all this time?
37:25But the curse.
37:29Why have I not been able to sleep?
37:32Because King Alderaan's rightful heir still lives in here.
37:36My brother-to-be.
37:37Conceived three moons ago on the night before my father died.
37:40That's why we had to hurry.
37:42Mother couldn't hide him much longer.
37:49See now why I couldn't tell anyone?
37:51As long as he thought I still lived, he wouldn't suspect there was another.
37:58No, Sinbad.
37:59Leave him to me.
38:05What are all these?
38:07These were just a few of the people you and your men have killed.
38:10The other is a way to you on the other side.
38:15Yes.
38:17It is time.
38:19No.
38:21Now.
38:23No!
38:24Please, stop!
38:27No!
38:28No!
38:29Oh, my God!
39:00Don't blame Maeve. She wanted to tell you, but I threatened her with terrible things.
39:04I vowed to haunt her forever.
39:07It's all right, little man. After some of the things that we said about...
39:11well, your kind, I wouldn't have told us either.
39:16I guess ghosts are only as good or evil as the people they were before they became ghosts.
39:21Thank you for everything. Goodbye.
39:25Now do you believe?
39:27It doesn't really matter if you do or not. Thank you all the same.
39:34Goodbye, Maeve. Dermot.
39:37It's a pity I had to die to make my first real friends.
39:41The real pity is that you had to die at all, Xander.
39:46I think you would have made a fine king.
39:49You do? Thank you. I'll see you on the other side. Not too soon, I hope.
39:57You must govern wisely, Mother, until he's old enough to be king.
40:02You help her, Tiresias. I'm so sorry I'll never know him.
40:08Will you tell him when he's older about me?
40:12Will you tell him that his older brother loved him very much?
40:16He will know, my son. Don't worry.
40:19Can I go to father now, Mother?
40:22Do you think he's forgiven me?
40:27Yes.
40:30Goodbye, my son.
40:33Goodbye, Mother.
40:36Goodbye.
40:54It's good to be at sea again.
40:57Still, it's a fascinating place, you must admit.
41:00You never answered me or the boy, Farouz.
41:03Do you believe now?
41:06No.
41:08No?
41:09After everything you saw, Farouz, how do you explain it?
41:15Food poisoning.
41:16Those mushrooms we ate in the forest.
41:18Well, it's a well-documented fact that some varieties of mushroom induce hallucinations, often very vivid ones.
41:25With all the talk of ghosts and such, it was only natural that our hallucinations would be of a spectral
41:30or ghostly nature.
41:31That's it! That's it!
