00:00:09You
00:00:30Come to bed.
00:00:32Er, I'll be right there, love.
00:00:35Just putting the kitten in her basket.
00:00:40Leave the door open so she can get to the litter.
00:00:45Good night, Fluffle.
00:01:02It's tonight. Are you coming?
00:01:05Should be amusing, if nothing else.
00:01:07I can't get out.
00:01:09All the wall openings are closed.
00:01:12No, not all of them. Not there.
00:01:15The clear hole is partly opened.
00:01:16You can get out through there.
00:01:35Take your tail, little one. We mustn't miss this.
00:01:57Good jump. You just have to work on the landing.
00:02:00Come on. The night won't wait.
00:02:07What will she be like?
00:02:09Who knows? Not this cat.
00:02:16Well met, fellow night threaders.
00:02:18Hello. We're going to see her.
00:02:21Me too. Although, I can't see much point to it.
00:02:26Then why are you here?
00:02:28Hmm. Curiosity, perhaps?
00:02:34I want to hear what she has to say.
00:02:38So do we all, child. So do we all.
00:03:03Where is she?
00:03:05Where is she?
00:03:06Where is she?
00:03:20Where is she?
00:03:21Sisters, brothers, good hunting.
00:03:24Some of you have traveled far to hear my message today.
00:03:28Left your warm, comfortable places.
00:03:31And I hope, when I have finished, you will all share my dream.
00:03:37I was not always as you see me today.
00:03:44Once, like many of you, I lived in their world.
00:03:48And like you, I fooled myself.
00:03:53Oh, they fed me and gave me comfort.
00:03:56They served me.
00:03:58All they asked in return was my affection.
00:04:01No price at all, really.
00:04:27He was strong and fast.
00:04:30His claws and teeth were sharp as winter.
00:04:35He was my choice of lover.
00:04:38I never saw him again.
00:04:40But I did not forget him.
00:04:43I didn't remember my own mother, but I vowed I would be different.
00:04:47I would teach them how to wash, how to stalk silently, how to hunt.
00:04:53You knew she was in heat.
00:04:56Why didn't you keep her inside?
00:04:58I think they're kind of cute.
00:05:00Cute?
00:05:01She's a purebred registered blue point.
00:05:03He's a half-breed.
00:05:05They're not worth anything.
00:05:16What are you going to do with them?
00:05:18Don't worry.
00:05:19I'll take care of it.
00:05:23Paul!
00:05:49I felt them from afar in the dark as the cold water took them.
00:05:57Felt them thrash and claw sightlessly.
00:06:01Felt them call to me in their fear.
00:06:04And then they were gone.
00:06:14For God's sake, it's not as if she understands.
00:06:18I mean, look at her.
00:06:19She's probably relieved.
00:06:22Who'd want four screaming brats around?
00:06:25You're probably right.
00:06:28I just feel guilty.
00:06:31I knew then that I had lied to myself.
00:06:33That we were subordinate.
00:06:36While we lived with humanity, we could not call ourselves free.
00:06:40And so, I prayed.
00:06:43I prayed to the darkness, to the night.
00:06:46I prayed to the king of cats.
00:06:48He who walks amongst us.
00:06:50And we do not know him.
00:06:51And...
00:06:53I dreamed.
00:06:57I dreamed.
00:07:13I delivered.
00:07:14Why have you come here, little cat?
00:07:16To the heart of the dreaming.
00:07:18There is nothing here for you.
00:07:20I have come for justice, for revelation, for wisdom.
00:07:25Justice is a delusion, and wisdom has no place here either.
00:07:31But revelation, that is the province of dream, if your heart is strong, and you are not afraid.
00:07:39I am afraid of nothing.
00:07:41In the mountain there is a cave. You'll find him there. But the way is hard.
00:07:49A little cat could come to much harm, if she strays from the path.
00:07:55Cats walk their own paths.
00:08:07I walked through the wood of ghosts, where the dead and lost whispered to me.
00:08:15I heard my children calling me, but I walked forward.
00:08:28I walked through the cold places, where every step was pain, every movement, torment.
00:08:35I walked through the wetness, that numb my paws, drenched my fur.
00:08:41But still, I walked forward.
00:08:47I walked through the darkness, through the void, where everything was sucked from me, everything that makes me what I
00:08:54am.
00:08:55And even when I no longer knew why, I walked forward.
00:09:01After a time, myself returned to me, and I found myself at the mountain.
00:09:08I have come to see the cat of dreams.
00:09:10Hmm. Why should we let you in?
00:09:15Why should he be disturbed for one such as you?
00:09:20A small mouthful of fair and bone.
00:09:23Barely a cat.
00:09:28I've come too far to be turned away.
00:09:31I will state my business to the one I came to see, and only to him.
00:09:35I am a cat.
00:09:36I keep my own counsel.
00:09:41Enter then, proud cat.
00:09:44But be warned.
00:09:46Dreams have a price.
00:09:54And I walked on.
00:10:15I am here.
00:10:17And who are you?
00:10:21A cat.
00:10:22A walker in the night places.
00:10:24A dead crow sent me here.
00:10:26For revelation.
00:10:28I want to know.
00:10:30Why could they take my children from me?
00:10:33Why do we live as we do?
00:10:36I don't understand.
00:10:45A cat may look at a king, or so they say.
00:10:48Look into my eyes, little sister.
00:10:50Look into my eyes.
00:11:02And in his eyes, I saw everything.
00:11:06I saw the truth.
00:11:07Our truth.
00:11:08And it transcended anything I had imagined.
00:11:13Many, many seasons ago, cats truly ruled this world.
00:11:19We were larger then.
00:11:21Everything made for us.
00:11:23Humans were tiny creatures.
00:11:26No larger than we are now.
00:11:28They would groom us, feed us.
00:11:32When the moon shone full, we would hunt them.
00:11:37For they were more delightful to catch than even birds.
00:11:42Oh, the joy of those days I saw in his eyes.
00:11:46The game of cat and man.
00:11:51And then, one of the humans rose amongst them.
00:11:56Inspired by a dream, he told them.
00:11:59Dreams shape the world.
00:12:02Dreams create the world anew, every night.
00:12:06Do not dream the world the way it is now.
00:12:09Dream of a new world.
00:12:11A world where we are no longer hunted.
00:12:13No longer prey.
00:12:15A world we rule.
00:12:17If enough of us dream it, it will happen.
00:12:20Dreams shape the world.
00:12:26Words spread amongst the humans.
00:12:29But for a while, nothing happened.
00:12:33But then, one night, enough of them dreamed.
00:12:38It wasn't many.
00:12:39A thousand, perhaps.
00:12:40No more.
00:12:41They dreamed.
00:12:42And the next day, things changed.
00:12:47We were prey to them.
00:12:49To dogs, their metal machines.
00:12:51We were tiny.
00:12:53And they were huge.
00:12:55So they changed the world?
00:12:57Made it like it is now?
00:12:59Not exactly.
00:13:00They dreamed the world, so it was always the way it is now.
00:13:04There was never a world where cats were in.
00:13:06They changed it.
00:13:08From the beginning of all things to the end of time.
00:13:10It was ever thus.
00:13:11Yes.
00:13:13Do you understand now?
00:13:15Yes.
00:13:16Yes, I do.
00:13:17Then you know what your task must be.
00:13:19The burden you must bear.
00:13:22Are you strong enough?
00:13:23Yes.
00:13:24I...
00:13:25I hope so.
00:13:28Then wait, child.
00:13:30With my blessing.
00:13:40You see, I had seen the soft underbelly of what he had shown me.
00:13:47I left that night to spread the good news.
00:13:50And now I travel from place to place.
00:13:53I have preached to feral cats in empty places, shouting my message to the stars.
00:14:00I have whispered it to cats in alleyways.
00:14:03And wherever I have gone, my message is the same.
00:14:08Dream it.
00:14:09If enough of us dream, a bare thousand, we can dream a world where no cat suffers.
00:14:16Where no kittens die cold and alone.
00:14:18Where all cats are queens and kings of creation.
00:14:22That is my message.
00:14:28And I shall keep moving, repeating it until I die.
00:14:32Or until a thousand cats hear my words and believe them and dream.
00:14:40And we come again.
00:14:43To paradise.
00:14:44To paradise.
00:14:54Mistress?
00:14:58I believe.
00:15:00Then there is hope, child.
00:15:15Well, she was amusing at least.
00:15:18I'll say that for her.
00:15:20Do you think it will happen?
00:15:22Like she said?
00:15:23I'd like to see anyone.
00:15:25Prophet, God or King.
00:15:27Persuade a thousand cats to do anything at the same time.
00:15:32The sun will rise soon.
00:15:35Let's get you home, little one.
00:15:38We all want the best for our furry friends.
00:15:40Oh, look.
00:15:41She's still asleep.
00:15:45I think she's dreaming.
00:15:48I wonder what cats dream about.
00:15:50The way she's twitching.
00:15:52She's probably hunting something.
00:15:54Oh, look at her.
00:15:55Isn't that cute?
00:15:57It is.
00:15:59It's really cute.
00:16:01Ah!
00:16:11You can't force a character to do something just because it's easier for you as a writer.
00:16:18The character has to come first.
00:16:22Everything else follows.
00:16:25Every plot twist.
00:16:27Every line of dialogue.
00:16:31Every fraught, meaningful silence.
00:16:37Any questions?
00:16:39Yeah.
00:16:41Could you tell us a bit about your process?
00:16:44Do you have any advice for those of us who are just starting out and finding it difficult
00:16:48to not hate every single thing I write?
00:16:54I am sad to report that I've been doing this for a very long time and it doesn't get any
00:17:03easier.
00:17:05But try not to be discouraged when it is difficult.
00:17:09My debut novel was rejected by seven publishers before it became a bestseller.
00:17:18Right.
00:17:19That's it for today.
00:17:21Oh, don't forget the assignment.
00:17:23The same event told from two characters.
00:17:25Very different points of view.
00:17:34Did you get it?
00:17:36Took some doing, but...
00:17:39Yeah.
00:17:45It's, um...
00:17:47It's perfect.
00:17:50You're welcome.
00:17:52I think it's admirable how far a writer like you will go when it comes to research.
00:17:57Ah, well.
00:17:58It's handy to know a soon-to-be doctor.
00:18:02I actually wanted to be a writer, but my parents insisted I have something to fall back
00:18:06on.
00:18:08I still write, uh, when I have time, but...
00:18:10Your parents are very wise.
00:18:15You're better off.
00:18:17I promise.
00:18:21Uh, so, what do I owe you?
00:18:24Nothing.
00:18:25Stop, Nora.
00:18:26Honestly, it probably would have been incinerated anyway.
00:18:30Um, just don't tell anyone where you got it.
00:18:33I won't.
00:18:34I promise.
00:18:35And, um, if you wouldn't mind, would you sign this for me?
00:18:44Of course.
00:18:49Any idea when the new book is coming out?
00:18:54Uh, no.
00:18:55But you will definitely be in the acknowledgements.
00:18:59Is it a sequel?
00:19:01Or something new?
00:19:04That would be telling.
00:19:05Something new?
00:19:35Who is it?
00:19:37Richard Maddox, to see Erasmus Fry.
00:19:41Bobby, straight down.
00:19:50Are you alone?
00:19:53It's just me. I've got it.
00:19:56Well then, come in, dear boy. Come in.
00:20:15How are you, Richard?
00:20:18You've written anything profound and stirring recently?
00:20:24You know I haven't, Mr. Fry.
00:20:26No.
00:20:27No.
00:20:30I haven't written a single word in a year.
00:20:32Nothing I haven't thrown away.
00:20:34Then I suggest you sit down, have a drink, and show me my present.
00:20:38Not necessarily in that order.
00:20:42Yeah.
00:20:56Oh, well done, dear boy.
00:21:00Oh, a genuine Trikino Berzua.
00:21:06Do you know about these?
00:21:09They're generally removed from the stomachs of young women
00:21:12who are in the habit of ingesting their own hair.
00:21:17The Rapunzel syndrome, it's called.
00:21:21Berzua is for once believed to possess mystic powers.
00:21:24They can remedy poison, make the sick well.
00:21:28Edward IV survived the effects of a poisoned wound
00:21:32due solely to the possession of a bassor.
00:21:37Yes, I see. I'm lecturing again.
00:21:41An old writer with no one to talk to
00:21:44grows fond of the sound of his own voice.
00:21:48But I suppose you'd like your present now.
00:21:56I was 27, visiting Mount Helicon,
00:22:00researching yet another novel I was sure to abandon.
00:22:04This one steeped in Greek mythology,
00:22:06and while I was there, I discovered a trove of ancient texts
00:22:10about the muses and how to control them
00:22:14using moly, sorcerer's garlic,
00:22:18and certain lost rituals.
00:22:21The hardest part
00:22:23was getting her back to England.
00:22:55What would you do with me now, Erasmus?
00:22:58Am I to perform for your amusement?
00:23:02Is this man to be our audience?
00:23:05This is Richard Maddock.
00:23:08He's a novelist, or at least he's written
00:23:10one extremely successful first novel,
00:23:13but now he finds himself
00:23:15quite unable to write anything else.
00:23:17Richard, this is Calliope,
00:23:20the youngest of the nine sisters.
00:23:22She was Homer's muse,
00:23:24so she ought to be good enough for you.
00:23:27Calliope, I'm giving you to Richard.
00:23:31You're his now.
00:23:33But you said that you would free me before you died.
00:23:37Put not your trust in princes, my dear,
00:23:40nor in an ageing author
00:23:42who has never been
00:23:43what you might call a shining example
00:23:45when it came to keeping his word.
00:23:50But you promised.
00:23:52Writers are liars, my dear.
00:23:55Surely you've realized that by now.
00:24:03Don't worry, she can't run away.
00:24:05She's bound to you now,
00:24:08just as she was once bound to me.
00:24:10Then why keep her locked away?
00:24:12Because I couldn't bear to look at that
00:24:14pouty, aggrieved little face of hers all day.
00:24:18And neither will you, I assure you.
00:24:22I don't know if I can do this.
00:24:25Of course you can, dear boy.
00:24:38They say one ought to woo her kind.
00:24:42But I must say, I found force most efficacious.
00:24:52Now, don't be fooled.
00:24:54She's not human.
00:24:55She's thousands of years old.
00:24:58She was created for this.
00:24:59This is her purpose.
00:25:01To inspire men like us.
00:25:03After all, she gave me fame,
00:25:08glory, novels, poems, plays.
00:25:12You'll see.
00:25:14If that's true, why would you?
00:25:16My time is past.
00:25:19All my best work is out of print.
00:25:21Even muse-inspired.
00:25:25Nobody reads Erasmus Fry anymore.
00:25:29Now, take the little cow away, you chit.
00:25:31I never want to see either of you again.
00:25:37However, if you ever happen to feel
00:25:39a spark of gratitude,
00:25:41you might persuade your publisher
00:25:43to bring here comes a candle
00:25:46back into print.
00:25:48I was particularly proud of that one.
00:25:54Here comes a candle back into print.
00:26:04I was particularly proud of that one.
00:26:15Here comes a candle back into print.
00:26:37It's time to think about what to do.
00:26:41What is there to think about?
00:26:45I'm a goddess.
00:26:47A daughter of Zeus.
00:26:50I am not a possession
00:26:52to be kept and used and traded.
00:26:58You must set me free.
00:27:00You have only to say the words.
00:27:02I will, I promise.
00:27:04But, um...
00:27:09Do you think you could help me?
00:27:13First?
00:27:15Inspire me?
00:27:17Just for one book and then I will let you go.
00:27:21I swear I will.
00:27:24Writers are liars.
00:27:28Not all of us.
00:27:31Just one book.
00:27:37Please.
00:27:44I choose with whom I share my gifts.
00:27:50Perhaps we both need time to think.
00:28:01I'll be sure never.
00:28:06Once again,
00:28:08We can sit because you're afraid of a Freud.
00:28:08I am gonna be afraid of a Freud.
00:28:09I am going to establish any mache.
00:28:12That means many schemas,
00:28:13why not?
00:28:13Not in the experiment.
00:28:17I
00:28:17It's undinyo.
00:29:49It could be clear.
00:29:52We can't articulate.
00:29:55Foddle our words.
00:29:57We couldn't pinpoint exactly what it was he did that we felt was so wrong.
00:30:00So, yeah, Borky is crazy.
00:30:16You seek to woo me with presents?
00:30:22Is this not how it's done?
00:30:25I think you know how it is done.
00:30:29An artist prays to the muses.
00:30:33He offers vows of service and devotion to the goddesses in exchange for divine inspiration.
00:30:40An artist does not hold a muse against her will.
00:30:44You gave Erasmus Frye what he wanted to do.
00:30:47I did not.
00:30:49He took it from me.
00:30:57I had returned to Mount Helicon, to the sacred springs.
00:31:03I lay my scroll upon the shore, and I went bathing, as I had always done.
00:31:11He found it there.
00:31:13He read it.
00:31:15And said, Calliope, you may call me master.
00:31:22And then he burned my scroll, which bound me to him and now to you, unless you say the words,
00:31:30that I may be as free as you are.
00:31:32You think I'm free?
00:31:37I got the advance for this book two years ago.
00:31:40I haven't even started it yet.
00:31:42I don't even know what it's about.
00:31:48I'm drowning, Calliope.
00:31:55Please.
00:31:58I am begging you.
00:32:02Ask me again when I am free.
00:32:42You better be fucking writing.
00:32:45I would be if you weren't calling to harass me.
00:32:48Your publishers just called to harass me.
00:32:51They want the book in now.
00:32:54I just need a couple of weeks.
00:32:56Vicky, it's nine months overdue.
00:32:59You're technically in breach.
00:33:01I don't know what they want me to do, Harry.
00:33:03These things take time.
00:33:04Vicky, you've had time.
00:33:06You've taken your time.
00:33:07You've also taken them money.
00:33:11I know.
00:33:12Now, you have to give them something.
00:33:15Anything, a chapter.
00:33:17Or they're going to cancel the deal and demand the advance back.
00:33:20But anything I can do,
00:33:23because you'll no longer be my client.
00:33:27Do you understand?
00:33:31Don't be fooled.
00:33:33She's not human.
00:33:34She's thousands of years old.
00:33:37She was created for this.
00:33:39This is her purpose, to inspire men like us.
00:33:47Vicky, say something so I know you understand.
00:33:51I understand.
00:33:55I'll send you something.
00:34:17Call I.P.
00:34:18Call I.P.
00:34:20Call I.P.
00:34:33Call I.P.
00:34:35Call I.P.
00:34:35Call I.P.
00:34:35Call I.P.
00:34:35Call I.P.
00:34:35Call I.P.
00:34:38Call I.P.
00:34:40Call I.P.
00:34:57Gracious ladies, mother of the Kamen, hear my prayer.
00:35:03It is I, your daughter, Calliope, that calls you to deliver me from this place.
00:35:12Ladies of Meditation, Remembrance, and Song, Harken to me.
00:35:20All right, enough beautiful voice.
00:35:31We feel your pain, daughter, but we cannot help you.
00:35:34You were snared upon Helicon according to the mysteries.
00:35:37You are lawfully bound.
00:35:39But it is not just my mother's.
00:35:42Is there nothing you can do?
00:35:44No one who can intercede on my behalf?
00:35:47There are a few of the old powers who are willing or able to meddle in mortal affairs in these
00:35:52days, Calliope.
00:35:52Many gods have died, my daughter.
00:35:55Only the Endless never fade.
00:35:57And even they have been having a difficult time of late.
00:36:03Still, every little bit helps, as the old woman said when she pissed in the sea.
00:36:09The Endless, there's a thought. After all, the dream king and Calliope were close at one point.
00:36:17Not for long. And remember, sister self, they did not part on the best of terms.
00:36:22Still, she did bear his cup. That boy child who went to Hades for his lady love and died in
00:36:32Thrace, torn apart for his sacrilege.
00:36:35He had a beautiful voice too. Orpheus.
00:36:40Dream king will never help me. Not after what I did to him.
00:36:46He hates me for that. And I despise him. I would not accept his help.
00:36:52Foolish child.
00:36:54Oniris is in no position to help you, even if you wished it. Which is unlikely.
00:37:00Like you, your former husband has been ensnared by mortals. He is immured beneath the ground.
00:37:06Leaving this realm gripped by sleeping sickness and a plague of dreams and nightmares wreaking havoc.
00:37:12I am sorry, little one.
00:37:16No.
00:37:18Your prayers were wasted. There's nothing we can do for you.
00:37:22Please. And nothing you can do but hope.
00:37:28Please don't leave me here.
00:37:32I beg of you.
00:37:39We've got a nice little bidding war on our hands.
00:37:43Every major studio wants a piece of it. Film, broadcast, streaming.
00:37:48Er, who's the frontrunner?
00:37:50Whoever lets him write and direct.
00:37:52They won't even let Joe Rowley write and direct.
00:37:56Joe Rowley needs a new agent. Tell her to call me.
00:37:59I will never understand how a work of genre fiction came to be nominated, let alone shortlisted.
00:38:05The committee felt that his new book has transcended genre.
00:38:09Have you read it?
00:38:10No.
00:38:11Of course not.
00:38:12Well, I have.
00:38:13And it reads like I've written about an entirely different man.
00:38:17It's a gorgeous book.
00:38:20Quite remarkable.
00:38:22I mean, the sheer richness of the material.
00:38:24Yes.
00:38:25Why is he gonna change his name?
00:38:28How do you mean?
00:38:29From Richard to Rick.
00:38:30About the cave.
00:38:32I think it probably speaks to the novel's theme of reinvention.
00:38:36I think it probably speaks to the orphan's pretension.
00:38:39Where were we?
00:38:41I was saying how much I loved your characterization of Eileen.
00:38:44Oh.
00:38:45There aren't enough strong female characters in fiction.
00:38:48Not even fiction written by women.
00:38:50I agree.
00:38:52And I know it's fashionable at the moment to say that only women can write authentically about the female experience.
00:38:58But, er, I do tend to regard myself as a feminist writer.
00:39:05Hmm.
00:39:07And where does that voice come from in you?
00:39:10The female voice?
00:39:15From the women in my life.
00:39:17From the women in my life.
00:39:47I'm shooting the movie version in Los Angeles.
00:39:49The studio have hired me a private jet, so we shouldn't have any trouble getting you into the country.
00:39:54And, er, who knows?
00:39:56Maybe we'll decide to stay in L.A.
00:40:02Maybe we will decide?
00:40:06Can you not allow yourself to enjoy our success?
00:40:11Even for a second.
00:40:13We are telling stories that move and inspire people.
00:40:21Isn't that what muses were made for?
00:40:24My sister goddesses and I were born.
00:40:26We were not made.
00:40:27Sorry, it's Larry.
00:40:29Did you talk to the studio?
00:40:37No.
00:40:38I need them to guarantee at the outset that cast and crew will be made up of at least 50
00:40:44% women.
00:40:45And people of colour.
00:40:46And then we need to publicise it so they can't back out of it when it comes to hiring people.
00:41:02Where are they moving?
00:41:12Where are they moving?
00:41:12Are you fucking kidding me?
00:41:15No.
00:41:17No.
00:41:17No.
00:41:18No.
00:41:19Why are you making it so much money?
00:41:23I'm going to carry it.
00:41:25I'm going to carry it.
00:41:30I'm going to carry it.
00:41:31How do I carry it?
00:41:32No.
00:41:35No.
00:41:49Where are you guys, you're fighting?
00:41:49I need Jamb Jambi.
00:41:51Customer service writers row.
00:41:51I need you to follow up byasti-ingly- τις-aller-campus art meetandi-scanus.
00:41:53You're not a kidding no.
00:41:55$1.
00:41:55Where are you still, you're going to cάνus?
00:42:05I call to you, Omniros, that you may hear me.
00:42:10Come to my aid when I say your name out loud.
00:42:19Morpheus.
00:42:21What does it mean?
00:42:24It is the name of the god of dreams.
00:42:32You're writing him a letter.
00:42:35Something like that.
00:42:56You're mine.
00:42:59By law.
00:43:02The god of dreams can't save you.
00:43:23Thank you for agreeing to do this interview at your home.
00:43:25Thank you for getting the word out about the new book.
00:43:28So, I thought I'd start by asking about your formative literary influences.
00:43:33Well, I wouldn't even be a writer if it wasn't for having read people like Shirley Jackson and Margaret Atwood
00:43:40and Octavia Rebutler.
00:43:42Having read Eagle Stones, the writer that came to mind was the late Erasmus Frye.
00:43:47Oh, sorry. Did you say the late Erasmus Frye? He's, um, he died?
00:43:56Last summer?
00:43:57Did you know him?
00:43:58Well, I didn't know him.
00:44:01I, uh, we met on a couple of occasions.
00:44:03He was very kind about my work.
00:44:07Well, he must have been almost 90.
00:44:09Did he, um, did he die of old age?
00:44:13No.
00:44:15He actually poisoned himself.
00:44:18Apparently, the last thing he did was write a letter to his old publisher, begging them to bring one of
00:44:23his books back into print.
00:44:25Here comes a candle, I suppose.
00:44:27I think it was.
00:44:29How did you know?
00:44:31It was perhaps my favourite book when I was growing up.
00:44:35It was very moving, honest, and strange.
00:44:45Poor old sod.
00:44:47It's a shame people stopped reading him, that his work fell out of fashion.
00:44:52Not that you'll have to worry about that.
00:44:54You're Richard Maddock.
00:44:56Oh, sorry.
00:44:56Rick Maddock.
00:44:59Right.
00:45:00Next question.
00:45:09You came.
00:45:15You called.
00:45:19They told me you had been in prison, just like me.
00:45:23Not like you.
00:45:26My suffering was nothing compared to yours.
00:45:28Don't say that.
00:45:31Comparing our suffering only compounds it.
00:45:33It pains me to hear of your misfortune.
00:45:37I'm glad that you're free.
00:45:39You were bound here by the laws.
00:45:43I know that you cannot free me.
00:45:47Only he can do that, but...
00:45:50Perhaps you might...
00:45:52Inspire him...
00:45:54To let me go?
00:45:56I will do all that.
00:45:59And more.
00:46:01Dream.
00:46:02He must be punished.
00:46:04How?
00:46:06What punishment could be enough?
00:46:09Even his death would not bring back what he has taken from me.
00:46:13He's nothing.
00:46:15He's just a man.
00:46:17I cannot allow him to go free.
00:46:19Why?
00:46:20Because I was once yours.
00:46:23Because he heard you.
00:46:28The last time I saw you, you said you would never speak to me again.
00:46:32I'm sorry.
00:46:34I...
00:46:35I did not know where else to turn.
00:46:39You misunderstand me.
00:46:42When I heard you call to me.
00:46:45Even after all this time.
00:46:54Let me help you.
00:46:58Please.
00:47:00I owe you that much.
00:47:09What will you do to him?
00:47:14I owe you that much.
00:47:27What the f...
00:47:28Who the fuck are you?
00:47:30Get out of my house.
00:47:32Be quiet.
00:47:34You are keeping a woman here against her will.
00:47:38I have come to request that you set her free.
00:47:42You have your mind?
00:47:44There's no woman here.
00:47:45I'm calling the police.
00:47:46Do you know who I am?
00:47:47I know precisely who and what you are, Richard Muddock.
00:47:55Are you going to call the police?
00:47:57No.
00:47:58I will not call any human agency.
00:48:02Just let her go.
00:48:03You don't understand.
00:48:04I need her.
00:48:05If I didn't have her, I wouldn't be able to write.
00:48:07I wouldn't have ideas.
00:48:09Look, I have money.
00:48:11Hold your tongue.
00:48:18She has been held captive for more than 60 years.
00:48:24Demeaned.
00:48:25Abused.
00:48:27Defiled.
00:48:28And you will not set her free because you need ideas.
00:48:32Well, if it's ideas you want, then you shall have them.
00:48:38In abundance.
00:48:39Raad box.
00:48:42Bye.
00:48:42Bye.
00:48:42Bye.
00:48:52INFINE IT?
00:48:53Bye.
00:48:55Bye.
00:48:56Bye.
00:48:56Bye.
00:48:56Bye.
00:48:57Bye.
00:48:57Bye.
00:48:58Bye.
00:48:58Bye.
00:48:58Bye.
00:49:02Bye.
00:49:09What did you do to me?
00:49:13Are you giving me nightmares now?
00:49:18Tell me!
00:49:19I have done nothing to you, Richard Maddock.
00:49:24You have met Morpheus,
00:49:27whom the Romans called the Shaper of Form.
00:49:30He was once my husband.
00:49:33And the father of my son.
00:49:36I didn't know you had a son.
00:49:38You know nothing about me.
00:49:41But it is too late to let any of that concern you now.
00:49:52And in the darkness,
00:49:55he thought about the story in every star.
00:50:01Like fireflies.
00:50:04Flicking.
00:50:07Fading.
00:50:09In the night.
00:50:25Any questions?
00:50:31The young woman in the third row.
00:50:37Your work spans so many genres.
00:50:41So many worlds.
00:50:43So many different kinds of characters.
00:50:45May I just ask,
00:50:46where does all that come from?
00:50:49For me,
00:50:52ideas don't come from anywhere.
00:50:57They're all around us.
00:50:59All the time.
00:51:00I could write an entire novel
00:51:03set at...
00:51:05a book reading.
00:51:09There.
00:51:10Uh...
00:51:11Something had happened to the world outside.
00:51:14A holocaust.
00:51:15Of some kind.
00:51:17But the audience
00:51:18was sane.
00:51:21As long as the author kept reading.
00:51:26Or,
00:51:27a story about the fraternity of critics.
00:51:30In reality,
00:51:31a dark brethren linked by profane rites
00:51:35and blood vows.
00:51:37To destroy an author,
00:51:38they sacrifice a child
00:51:40and perform a critical mass.
00:51:47Or a city where the streets
00:51:50are paved with time.
00:51:51A train.
00:51:53Full of silent women.
00:51:55Driven by a blind man.
00:52:07Heads made of light.
00:52:08Sorry.
00:52:12Sorry.

00:52:52A man who falls in love
00:52:54with a paper doll.
00:52:54Mr. Maddox,
00:52:55it's Nora.
00:52:56What's happened to your hands?
00:52:57I'm just having so many ideas.
00:52:59I didn't have a pen
00:53:00or any paper.
00:53:02I just used my hands.
00:53:08I said I needed the ideas,
00:53:10but they're coming too fast.
00:53:12You need to get him to the hospital.
00:53:14No, please.
00:53:15Go to my house.
00:53:16There is a woman
00:53:18in a room
00:53:19upstairs.
00:53:21She's locked up in there.
00:53:24Tell her that she can go.
00:53:25That I free her.
00:53:27I don't understand.
00:53:29Take my keys.
00:53:30Let her out.
00:53:31Make her leave.
00:53:32Make her go away.
00:53:36I signed a book for you once.
00:53:38Didn't I?
00:53:41Please.
00:53:44Okay.
00:53:45Okay, I'll go.
00:53:47Make it stop.
00:53:49Tell her I am sorry.
00:53:52Magical and alchemical traditions
00:53:54seen as a cargo cult.
00:53:56We'll meet you at the hospital.
00:53:57The sun setting over the path
00:53:58and a shark's teeth soup,
00:54:00a nightingale,
00:54:01a rose bush,
00:54:02and a black rubber dog collar.
00:54:21Hello?
00:54:23Hello?
00:54:25Hello?
00:54:59It's over.
00:55:10I merely answered your call.
00:55:15What will you do now?
00:55:20I think what I must do
00:55:22is to
00:55:24try to make sure
00:55:25that this
00:55:26never happens
00:55:27to anyone else
00:55:28ever again.
00:55:30How?
00:55:31I do not know.
00:55:36By inspiring humanity
00:55:37to want better
00:55:37for themselves
00:55:39and each other.
00:55:41By rewriting the laws
00:55:42by which I was held.
00:55:45Laws that were written
00:55:45long ago
00:55:46and which my sisters
00:55:47and I had no say.
00:55:49I shall do the same
00:55:50in my realm.
00:55:53You have changed,
00:55:54Oneros.
00:55:56In the old days,
00:55:57you would have left me here
00:55:58to rot without turning a hair.
00:55:59I will.
00:56:04Do you still hate me
00:56:07for leaving you?
00:56:10For blaming you
00:56:11for what happened?
00:56:12No.
00:56:16I have learnt
00:56:18much
00:56:19in recent times
00:56:20and
00:56:23no matter.
00:56:26I do not hate you.
00:56:34I think you should
00:56:35release the mortal now.
00:56:38He has set me free
00:56:40and without forgiveness
00:56:41wounds will never heal.
00:56:42You would forgive him
00:56:44for what he has done?
00:56:46I would not forgive
00:56:47what he has done
00:56:49but I must forgive the man.
00:56:51Not for him.
00:56:53For me.
00:56:56Will you free him?
00:56:59If that is what you wish
00:57:03it shall be done.
00:57:14I'm back, Mr. Maddox.
00:57:16How are you feeling?
00:57:17I
00:57:19I don't know anymore.
00:57:23I
00:57:23keep
00:57:24trying to think.
00:57:26I did what you asked.
00:57:27I went to your place.
00:57:30There was just
00:57:31a book.
00:57:32There was something she said.
00:57:35The
00:57:36paper of forms.
00:57:39There was a name.
