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.
00:07:14Of the dragon, there was no one for him.
00:07:16To the heart of the dreaming.
00:07:18There is nothing here for you.
00:07:20I have come for justice.
00:07:22For revelation.
00:07:24For wisdom.
00:07:25Justice is a delusion.
00:07:28And wisdom has no place here either.
00:07:31But revelation.
00:07:33That is the province of dream if your heart is strong and you are not afraid
00:07:39I am afraid of nothing in the mountain. There is a cave
00:07:43You'll find him there
00:07:45But 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
00:08:20But I walked forward
00:08:28I walked through the cold places where every step was pain
00:08:32Every 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
00:08:52Everything that makes me what I am
00:08:55And even when I no longer knew why
00:08:58I 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
00:09:13Why 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
00:09:22Barely 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 might look at a king
00:10:46Or so they say
00:10:47Look into my eyes, little sister
00:10:50Look into my eyes
00:10:52Look into my eyes
00:11:03I saw everything
00:11:05I saw the truth
00:11:07I saw the truth
00:11:08Our truth
00:11:08And it transcended anything I had imagined
00:11:13Many, many seasons ago
00:11:15Cats truly ruled this world
00:11:18We were larger then
00:11:20Everything made for us
00:11:23Humans were tiny creatures
00:11:25No larger than we are now
00:11:28They would groom us
00:11:30Feed us
00:11:32When the moon shone full
00:11:33We would hunt them
00:11:37For they were more delightful to catch than even birds
00:11:42Oh, the joy of those days
00:11:44I saw in his eyes
00:11:45The game
00:11:46Of cat
00:11:48And man
00:11:51And then
00:11:52One of the humans rose amongst them
00:11:57Inspired by a dream
00:11:58He told them
00:11:59Dreams shape the world
00:12:02Dreams create the world anew
00:12:04Every night
00:12:05Do not dream the world the way it is now
00:12:08Dream of a new world
00:12:10A 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
00:12:18It will happen
00:12:20Dreams shape the world
00:12:26Word spread amongst the humans
00:12:29But for a while nothing happened
00:12:33But then
00:12:34One night
00:12:35Enough of them dreamed
00:12:38It wasn't many
00:12:39A thousand perhaps
00:12:40No more
00:12:40They dreamed
00:12:42And the next day
00:12:44Things changed
00:12:47We were prey to them
00:12:49To dogs
00:12:50That metal machines
00:12:51We were tiny
00:12:52And 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
00:13:02So it was always the way it is now
00:13:04There was never a world where cats were in
00:13:06They changed it
00:13:07From the beginning of all things
00:13:09To the end of time
00:13:10It was ever thus
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?
00:13:24Are you strong enough?
00:13:24Yes
00:13:24I
00:13:26I
00:13:26I hope so
00:13:28Then wait
00:13:29Child
00:13:31With my blessing
00:13:40You see
00:13:42I 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
00:13:57Shouting my message to the stars
00:14:00I have whispered it to cats in alleyways
00:14:03And wherever I have gone
00:14:05My message is the same
00:14:08Dream it
00:14:09If enough of us dream
00:14:11A bare thousand
00:14:12We can dream a world where no cat suffers
00:14:15Where no kittens die cold and alone
00:14:18Where all cats are queens and kings of creation
00:14:21That is my message
00:14:28And I shall keep moving
00:14:30Repeating it until I die
00:14:32Or until a thousand cats hear my words
00:14:35And believe them
00:14:36And dream
00:14:40And we come again
00:14:43To paradise
00:14:54Mistress
00:14:58I believe
00:15:00Then there is hope
00:15:01Child
00:15:16Well, she was amusing at least
00:15:18I'll say that for her
00:15:19Do you think it will happen?
00:15:21Like she said
00:15:23I'd like to see anyone
00:15:25Prophet
00:15:25God
00:15:26Or 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
00:15:40Oh, look
00:15:41She's still asleep
00:15:46I 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
00:15:56Isn't that cute?
00:15:57It is
00:15:59It's really cute
00:16:12You can't force a character to do something just because it's easier
00:16:16For you as a writer
00:16:17The character
00:16:19Character has to come first
00:16:22Everything else follows
00:16:24Every
00:16:26Plot twist
00:16:27Every line of dialogue
00:16:30Every
00:16:33Fraught, 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 to
00:16:49Not 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
00:17:02It doesn't get any easier
00:17:05But
00:17:06Try not to be discouraged when it is difficult
00:17:09My debut novel was rejected by seven publishers before it became a bestseller
00:17:13So
00:17:18Right
00:17:19That's it for today
00:17:21Oh, don't forget the assignment
00:17:22The same event told from two characters
00:17:25Very different points of view
00:17:35Did you get it?
00:17:36Took some doing
00:17:37But
00:17:40Yeah
00:17:45It's, um
00:17:48It's perfect
00:17:48Thank you
00:17:51You're welcome
00:17:52I think it's admirable
00:17:54How 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
00:18:04But my parents insisted I have something to fall back on
00:18:08I still write
00:18:09Er, when I have time
00:18:10Your parents are very wise
00:18:15You're better off
00:18:17I promise
00:18:21Er, so
00:18:22What do I owe you?
00:18:24Nothing
00:18:25Stop, Nora
00:18:26Honestly
00:18:26It probably would have been incinerated anyway
00:18:30Erm, just
00:18:30Don't tell anyone where you got it
00:18:32I won't
00:18:34I promise
00:18:35And, erm
00:18:36If you wouldn't mind
00:18:40Would you sign this for me?
00:18:44Of course
00:18:49Any idea when the new book is coming out?
00:18:54Er, no
00:18:55But
00:18:56You will definitely be in the acknowledgements
00:18:59Is it a sequel?
00:19:02Or something new?
00:19:04That would be telling
00:19:35Who is it?
00:19:37Richard Maddox
00:19:38To see Erasmus Fry
00:19:40Robin, stream down
00:19:50Are you alone?
00:19:53It's just me
00:19:54I've got it
00:19:56Well then
00:19:57Come in, dear boy
00:19:59Come in
00:20:15How are you, Richard?
00:20:18You've written anything
00:20:20Profound and stirring recently?
00:20:24You know I haven't, Mr Fry
00:20:27No
00:20:27No
00:20:29No
00:20:29No
00:20:29I haven't written a single word in a year
00:20:31Nothing I haven't thrown away
00:20:33Then I suggest you sit down
00:20:35Have a drink
00:20:36And show me my present
00:20:38Not necessarily in that order
00:20:40Yeah
00:20:56Oh, well done, dear boy
00:21:00Oh
00:21:01A genuine
00:21:03A genuine
00:21:05Trikino Berzua
00:21:07Do you know about these?
00:21:08They'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
00:21:21Bezovors 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 poison wound
00:21:32Due solely to the possession of a Bezov
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 twenty-seven visiting Mount Helicon
00:22:00Researching yet another novel I was sure to abandon
00:22:03This one steeped in Greek mythology
00:22:06And while I was there I discovered a trove of ancient texts
00:22:10About the muses
00:22:12And how to control them
00:22:14Using moly
00:22:17Sorcerer's garlic
00:22:18And certain lost rituals
00:22:21The hardest part
00:22:23Was getting her back to England
00:22:54What would you with me now, Erasmus?
00:22:58Am I to perform for your amusement?
00:23:02Is this man to be our audience?
00:23:05Yah!
00:23:06This is Richard Maddock
00:23:08He's a novelist
00:23:10Or at least he's written one extremely successful first novel
00:23:13But now he finds himself quite 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
00:23:23So she ought to be good enough for you
00:23:27Calliope
00:23:28I'm giving you
00:23:29To Richard
00:23:30You'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 aging author who has never been
00:23:43What you might call a shining example
00:23:46When it came to keeping his word
00:23:50What you promised
00:23:52Writers are liars, my dear
00:23:55Surely you've realized that by now
00:24:01Oh, don't worry
00:24:03She can't run away
00:24:06She's bound to you now
00:24:07Just 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
00:24:15Pouty, aggrieved little face of hers all day
00:24:18And neither will you
00:24:19I 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
00:24:56She'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
00:25:06You see
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
00:25:18All my best work is out of print
00:25:21Even muse inspired
00:25:25Nobody reads
00:25:26Nobody 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 a spark of gratitude
00:25:41You might persuade your publisher to bring
00:25:44Here comes a candle back into print
00:25:48I was particularly proud of that one
00:25:55Don't leave a bell
00:25:55Remember, it's beautiful
00:25:56Not friends
00:25:56Only one bad
00:26:13You're wrong
00:26:16You're home
00:26:20You're late
00:26:21You're in anheid
00:26:21Maybe one better
00:26:21It's time if you've been
00:26:33I, uh, I just need time to think about what to do.
00:26:41What is there to think about?
00:26:45I'm a goddess, a daughter of Zeus.
00:26:50I am not a possession to 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, do you think you could help me first?
00:27:15Inspire me?
00:27:18Just 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.
00:27:53Just one book?
00:28:06For one book.
00:28:10Unexərpati.
00:28:13We are all jags.
00:28:14My color is green,Capital isounded with me and is so beautiful,
00:28:15I will let you wait and see you look looking good.
00:28:15And I will let you know away,
00:28:15I haveeld all the time.
00:28:15I have�� Tisch dlaänd são you big.
00:28:16Yeah, I can.
00:28:18We'll let you again know what you want.
00:28:22If you need to know when I逃一些,
00:29:53We 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.
00:30:01So yeah, Borgias, you're 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.
00:30:46I did not.
00:30:49He took it from me.
00:30:57I had returned to Mount Helicon.
00:31:00To 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...
00:31:16And said...
00:31:19Calliope, you may call me master.
00:31:22And then he burned my scroll, which bound me to him and now to you.
00:31:27Unless you say the words.
00:31:30That I may be as free as you are.
00:31:32You think I'm free?
00:31:38I 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.
00:31:56Please.
00:31:57Please.
00:31:58Please.
00:31:59I am begging you.
00:32:02Ask me again.
00:32:05When I am free.
00:32:42you better be fucking writing i would be if you weren't calling to harass me
00:32:47your publishers just called to harass me

00:33:04ricky you've had time you've taken your time you've also taken their money

00:33:20but anything i can do because you'll no longer be my client
00:33:27do you understand
00:33:31don't be fooled she's not human
00:33:34she's thousands of years old she was created for this
00:33:38this is her purpose to inspire men like us
00:33:48say something so i know you understand i understand
00:33:55i'll send you something
00:34:17kill i p
00:34:24you
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, hearken to me.
00:35:20All right.
00:35:22Enough 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 mothers.
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.
00:35:53Many 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.
00:36:13After all, the dream king and Calliope were close at one point.
00:36:17Not for long.
00:36:18And remember, sister self, they did not part on the best of terms.
00:36:23Still, she did bear his cup.
00:36:27That boy child who went to Hades for his lady love and died in Thrace, torn apart for his sacrilege.
00:36:35He had a beautiful voice, too.
00:36:39Orpheus.
00:36:41Dream king will never help me.
00:36:44Not after what I did to him.
00:36:46He hates me for that.
00:36:48And I despise him.
00:36:51I would not accept his help.
00:36:52Foolish child.
00:36:54Onerus is in no position to help you, even if you wished it.
00:36:58Which is unlikely.
00:37:00Like you, your former husband has been ensnared by mortals.
00:37:03He is immured beneath the ground.
00:37:06Leaving this realm gripped by sleeping sickness.
00:37:09And a plague of dreams and nightmares wreaking havoc.
00:37:12I am sorry, little one.
00:37:16No.
00:37:18Your prayers were wasted.
00:37:20There's nothing we can do for you.
00:37:23Please.
00:37:24And 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.
00:37:45Film.
00:37:47Broadcast.
00:37:48Streaming.
00:37:48Uh, who's the frontrunner?
00:37:50Whoever lets him write and direct.
00:37:53They won't even let Joe Rowley write and direct.
00:37:55Joe Rowley needs a new agent.
00:37:57Tell 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 not his new book has transcended genre.
00:38:09Have you read it?
00:38:10No.
00:38:11Of course not.
00:38:11Well, I have.
00:38:14And the reason I've written about an entirely different man.
00:38:17It's a gorgeous book.
00:38:20Quote, remarkable.
00:38:22I mean, the sheer richness of the material.
00:38:24Yes.
00:38:25Why has he gone and changed his name?
00:38:28How do you mean?
00:38:29From Richard to Rick.
00:38:30About the K.
00:38:32I think it probably speaks to the novel's theme of reinvention.
00:38:36I think it probably speaks to the author's pretension.
00:38:39Where were we?
00:38:41I was saying how much I loved your characterisation of Eileen.
00:38:45Oh.
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, uh, I do tend to regard myself as a feminist writer.
00:39:06And 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.
00:39:19From the women in my life.
00:39:33From the women in my life.
00:39:35From the women in my life.
00:39:36From the women in my life.
00:39:36From the women in my life.
00:39:36From the women in my life.
00:39:37From the women in my life.
00:39:39From the women in my life.
00:39:41From 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,
00:39:51so we shouldn't have any trouble getting you into the country.
00:39:54And, uh, 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.
00:40:28Sorry, it's Larry.
00:40:30Did you talk to the studio?
00:40:37No, I need them to guarantee at the outset
00:40:40that cast and crew will be made up of at least 50% women
00:40:44and people of colour.
00:40:46And then we need to publicise it so they can't back out of it
00:40:49when it comes to hiring people.
00:41:02Well, I'm in the movie.
00:41:12Are you fucking kidding me?
00:41:14No.
00:41:16No.
00:41:17No, look.
00:41:19I am making you so fun of my life.
00:41:23I've both carry.
00:41:25Hold it, hold it.
00:41:30Hooray.
00:41:31Come firm.
00:41:32I don't know.
00:41:33OK.
00:41:37I've become sometros
00:41:37but I've become so otros.
00:41:39I've become so bunches,
00:41:40I've become so 되� where you're going.
00:41:42Because I'm so minor.
00:42:05I call to you, Oniros, 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, the 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.
00:43:27So, 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.
00:43:48Sorry.
00:43:48Did you say the late Erasmus Frye?
00:43:51He's, um...
00:43:54He 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.
00:44:07He 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.
00:44:28How did you know?
00:44:31It was perhaps my favourite book when I was growing up.
00:44:35It was very moving, honest, and...
00:44:41Strange.
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.
00:44:55Oh, sorry.
00:44:56Rick Maddock.
00:44:58Right.
00:45:00Next question.
00:45:10You came.
00:45:15You called.
00:45:18They told me you had been in prison.
00:45:21Just 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.
00:45:41You were bound here by the laws.
00:45:44I know that you cannot free me.
00:45:47Only he can do that, but...
00:45:50Perhaps you might inspire him to let me go.
00:45:56I will do all that.
00:45:58I will do all that.
00:45:59And more.
00:46:01Dream.
00:46:02He must be punished.
00:46:05How?
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, even 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?
00:47:27What the...
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 out of 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.
00:48:10I 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.
00:48:31Well, if it's ideas you want, then you shall have them in abundance.
00:49:08What do you mean?
00:49:09What did you do to me?
00:49:13Are you giving me nightmares now?
00:49:18Tell me!
00:49:18I have done nothing to you, Richard Muddock.
00:49:24You have met Morpheus.
00:49:27Who 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, he thought about the story in every star.
00:50:02Like fireflies.
00:50:05Flicking.
00:50:07Fading.
00:50:10In the night.
00:50:25Any questions?
00:50:29Ah.
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...
00:50:55anywhere.
00:50:56They're all around us.
00:50:59All the time.
00:51:00I could write an entire novel set at...
00:51:06a book reading.
00:51:08There.
00:51:10Something had happened to the world outside.
00:51:14A holocaust of some kind.
00:51:17But the audience was safe.
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 and 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 are 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.
00:52:13A weregoldfish
00:52:14who transforms into a wolf at full moon.
00:52:19A man who inherits a library card
00:52:22to the library of Alexandria.
00:52:25Two old women taking a weasel on holiday.
00:52:48A man who falls in love with a paper doll.
00:52:54Mr. Maddox, it's Nora.
00:52:56What's happened to your hands?
00:52:57Oh my god, I'm just having so many ideas.
00:52:59I didn't have a pen or 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 in a room upstairs.
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.
00:53:56The sun setting over the path
00:53:58and a shark's teeth soup.
00:54:00A nightingale.
00:54:01A rosebush.
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 is to
00:55:24try to make sure that this
00:55:26never happens to anyone else ever again.
00:55:30How?
00:55:31I do not know.
00:55:36By inspiring humanity
00:55:37to want better for 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 long ago
00:55:46and which my sisters and I
00:55:47had no say.
00:55:49I shall do the same in my realm.
00:55:53You have changed, Oneros.
00:55:56In the old days,
00:55:57you would have left me here to rot
00:55:58without turning a hair.
00:56:04Do you still hate me
00:56:07for leaving you?
00:56:10For blaming you for what happened?
00:56:12No.
00:56:16I have learned
00:56:18much in recent times
00:56:20and
00:56:23no matter.
00:56:26I do not hate you.
00:56:34I think you should release
00:56:36the 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.
00:57:13I'm back, Mr. Maddox.
00:57:16How are you feeling?
00:57:17I
00:57:19I don't know anymore.
00:57:22I
00:57:23keep
00:57:24trying to think.
00:57:26I did what you asked.
00:57:27I went to your place.
00:57:29There was just
00:57:31a book.
00:57:32There was something she said.
00:57:34The
00:57:35The
00:57:35The
