00:18You
00:19We begin
00:25In the waking world
00:29Which humanity insists on calling the real world
00:36As if your dreams have no effect upon the choices you make
00:41You mortals go about your work
00:44Your loves your wars as if your waking lives are all that matter
00:53But there is another life which awaits you when you close your eyes
01:02And enter my realm
01:09For I am the king of dreams
01:18And nightmares
01:27When the waking world leaves you wanting and weary
01:32Sleep brings you here
01:34To find freedom
01:38And adventure
01:50To face your fears and fantasies
01:55In dreams and nightmares that I create
02:01And which I must control
02:05Lest they consume and destroy you
02:09That is my purpose and my function
02:13Or it was
02:16Until I left my kingdom to pursue a rogue nightmare
02:23My lord
02:25You are coming back
02:26Aren't you
02:27Why would I not return lucien
02:30I don't know
02:31A presentiment
02:33As powerful as you are here in your realm
02:37Dreams rarely survive in the waking world
02:40Nightmares on the other hand
02:43Nightmares on the other hand
02:43Seem to thrive there
02:51Wake up sir
02:52We are here
02:54For any rig
02:56We are ready
02:58I must have dozed off
03:00Thank you
03:34Let's go
03:50Good afternoon, lad.
03:52My name is Dr. John Hathaway of the Royal Museum.
03:58Are you here to see the Magus?
04:00Well, I've come to see Mr. Roderick Burgess.
04:08Father likes to be called Magus.
04:10He means sorcerer.
04:34Hear me, Magus.
04:37Hear me, darkness.
04:39Hear me, darkness.
04:42Hear the darkness, hear the darkness, hear the darkness, hear the darkness.
04:50The Magus will receive his guests in the study, Alex.
04:54Yes, Mr. Sykes.
05:02Have you come to join Father's Order?
05:07The Order of Ancient Mysteries.
05:10Dr. Hathaway.
05:12What an unexpected pleasure.
05:14Alex Tea for our guest.
05:16Please, sit down. You must be exhausted from your journey.
05:22I take it you've reconsidered then?
05:25After our meeting at the museum, I know what I said.
05:30I received a telegram this morning.
05:32My son, Edmund, his destroyer was sunk last week.
05:39Off, Chutland.
05:41Oh, my condolences, Doctor.
05:46We are bonded then in our grief, you and I.
05:52As you know, I lost my son Randall recently at Gallipoli.
05:57Forgive me, I understood that Randall was your only son.
06:06Randall was my greatest joy.
06:11All this was meant to be his.
06:16So, have you brought it?
06:19The Magdalene Grimoire.
06:29I gave you the book.
06:35Can you really capture the Angel of Death?
06:40Oh, yes.
06:44with the spells recorded in this book we can compel death to return our sons to us
06:50you're Edmund and my Randall will live again
07:21it's all right Dr Huckaway
07:23here
07:46tonight we will achieve what no one before us has even attempted
07:51we will summon and imprison death
07:59here in the darkness
08:19Corinthian
08:24my creations stay in the dreaming
08:28they do not walk amongst the living killing mortals for pleasure
08:33isn't this why you created me
08:36why should we confine ourselves to their sleeping minds
08:40here in the waking world we're unstoppable
08:44there's nothing preventing us from taking
08:48whoever whatever we want
08:51there is
08:56my lord
08:58please no no no no I beg you
09:07please
09:28I give you a coin made from a stone
09:34I give you a knife from under the hills
09:38I give you the blood from out of my veins
09:45I give you a song I stole from the dirt
09:49and I give you a feather
09:51and I give you a feather
09:52pulled from an angel's wing
09:55for you to lift up into the heavens
09:58hear the darkness
10:01Hear the darkness
10:03hear the darkness
10:15I summon you with torture
10:23I summon you with pain, I open the way, I open the gates, I summon you with the names of
10:37the old world, Alcantara, Ayatollah, Florida, Mabarak, we called you, and we hold you, we summon you together.
10:49Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
11:19Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
11:32Alcantara.
11:35Alcantara.
11:43Get that pout for me, but be careful, don't break the binding circle, sand, now the jewel,
12:04there, good. Well, see what other treasures you have for us.
12:18Rabad! Look down!
12:21I got it!
12:22No, no!
12:24Stop!
12:36Move.
12:55We'll let our guest recover before we tell him our demands.
13:02Guards, watch him.
13:08I was powerless. Trapped by a spell cast by an amateur with no concern for the damage he had done
13:18to my realm.
13:20And to his own. For the following morning there were some sleepers.
13:25Unity!
13:27Who could not wake up.
13:29Unity!
13:32Rise and shine, Dormouse. Can't have you let to school, can we?
13:38Lovey?
13:39Wake up.
13:42Unity!
13:43What's wrong?
13:46Call the doctor.
13:48Hello operator.
14:01The sleepy sickness, as it was called, affected nearly one million men, women, and children in every city, town, and
14:11village in the world.
14:25Good morning, Magus.
14:30Good morning, Magus.
14:41Do I know you?
14:43No.
14:45But I know all about you, Roderick.
14:49And the being.
14:51You've trapped in your cellar.
14:54Blackmail, then.
14:55Is this a shake time?
14:57Not at all.
14:59I'm here to help you.
15:01You're gonna need all the help you can get.
15:14There are benefits to keeping one of the Endless close.
15:20The Endless?
15:22Did you think death was the only one in charge?
15:25The Reaper has family, you know?
15:27Desire, destiny, despair.
15:32Which one have I got now?
15:34Dream.
15:36It's the good of a god who governs dreams.
15:38Not a god.
15:41More than a god.
15:43And are men not governed by their dreams?
15:46You've taken his vestments.
15:48The ruby, the pouch, and the helm.
15:51They can lend you an aspect of his power.
15:56Extend your lifespan.
15:58Allow you to manipulate others.
16:01But you must ensure that he never escapes.
16:05The binding circle is intact.
16:07The circle will not be enough.
16:09You must construct a sphere of glass inside the circle
16:13to contain dreams' physical manifestation.
16:19No one must be allowed to fall asleep in his presence.
16:22No one.
16:23Or he will escape into your dreams.
16:26And you don't want that.
16:29There are forced march tablets.
16:34Stimulants used to keep trench soldiers awake.
16:37See that your guards use them at all times.
16:44Why are you helping me?
16:46What is he to you?
16:48Well, you could say that he made me what I am today.
16:51And if he ever gets free, he could take it all back.
16:57We're being observed.
16:59What?
16:59There's nobody here.
17:07Well, you'll have to deal with that one.
17:09Her name is Jessamy.
17:12She belongs to him.
17:14Best of luck.
17:15To the both of us.
17:18Will I see you again?
17:19You should hope not.
17:42You can go.
17:52Are you awake?
17:56Are you listening?
18:09I know who you are.
18:13Dream of the endless.
18:18I captured you according to the laws of magic.
18:23But it wasn't you I wanted.
18:26I wanted death.
18:27To return my son, Randall.
18:30Who died in the Gallipoli campaign.
18:37If you give him back to me, alive and well,
18:41I'd release you.
18:46Is that in your power, Lord of Dreams?
18:53No, I suppose not.
19:00So then, what can you give me?
19:04If I let you go.
19:06If I promise to give you back your things.
19:08But power.
19:09Wealth.
19:11Immortality.
19:15Is there nothing you can offer me?
19:24Now, have it your way then.
19:27And until you're ready to speak.
19:31I'll enjoy the gifts you've already given me.
19:54Day after day, he pleaded for gifts that are not mankind's to receive, nor mine to give.
20:04So I remained silent.
20:06And ten years later.
20:09Enjoy yourself.
20:10Of course.
20:10Though my presence there remained a secret.
20:13My ruby, sand, and helm brought youth and prosperity to Roderick Burgess and his followers.
20:22But for the rest of the world, the suffering will continue.
20:28Alex.
20:34You're supposed to be working, not reading.
20:37Don't let your father catch you.
20:58Good evening.
21:02Excuse me.
21:03I'm afraid that there's, there's no more room inside this evening, but if you'd like to all come back tomorrow...
21:08I've been out here for hours, we're not going anywhere.
21:10No, but I'm afraid that the Magus insists.
21:12Oh.
21:13The Magus insists, does he?
21:15And who are you to speak for the Magus?
21:17Who the fuck are you?
21:18He's the Magus's son.
21:21You fucking twat.
21:23And he can do magic, too.
21:28Can't you?
21:29Do you want him to put a curse on you?
21:32Wanted to hex you and all your unborn children?
21:34No?
21:35Then you should leave.
21:37Right now.
21:39Can we still come back tomorrow?
21:42Can they?
21:44Yeah.
21:46If they bring cash.
21:48Oh, you heard him.
21:50Cash only.
21:51Now piss off.
21:57Thanks for that.
21:58You didn't need my help.
22:01I'll bet you can do magic.
22:03Can't you?
22:05Can't do much of anything, really.
22:08That's not true.
22:10You're more powerful than you know.
22:14You can get me in to see the Magus.
22:34I'm not staying down there with that thing one second longer than I have to.
22:38We can't just leave him in there alone.
22:40Why not?
22:41He's in his cage, isn't he?
22:42I sometimes wonder about this job.
22:45Really?
22:46Morning.
22:49Have you seen Nolan Morris?
22:51No.
22:52They're nearly half hour late.
22:57I could...
22:58watch him.
23:00Until they get here if you wanted to go.
23:06See you tomorrow.
23:07Cheers, Alex.
23:45Hello.
23:46Hello.
23:54It's Alex.
23:57The Magus' son.
24:03See, I don't know whether you can speak or even understand me, but I just wanted to ask.
24:19Are you all right in there?
24:29No.
24:31Of course you're not.
24:36I'm sorry about all of this.
24:40He's not a bad man, my father. He just...
24:47If you could bring Randall back, or just give him something, anything, or even just speak to him, then I
24:58am sure he would let you out.
25:05If I could.
25:05I would let you out.
25:09If I could.
25:15You would, would you?
25:22What were you doing down there?
25:24Nothing.
25:24You were putting his escape, weren't you? Conspiring against me.
25:28No, father.
25:29What did he say to you?
25:30I didn't say anything.
25:32Do you know what would happen if you let him out?
25:34I won't, Magus. I promise.
25:36He'd slaughter you.
25:37He'd slaughter all of us. Is that what you want? Is it?
25:41Do you want to die, Alex? Do you? Because if you do, it's relatively simple.
25:44What?
25:47Fuck.
25:49Roddy?
25:52What is it? What's wrong?
25:55It's Jessamy.
25:57Who's Jessamy?
25:58I've been trying to shoot this wretched bird for ten years now.
26:03It can't be the same bird, can it?
26:10Did he tell you to say that?
26:11Did he?
26:12No, father. He didn't say anything.
26:16Prove it to me.
26:17Shoot the fucking bird.
26:24Ethel.
26:35Oh.
26:57No, no.
26:592.
27:05He's still there.
27:05Take care and hang out.
27:05It's a good day.
28:21Fuck yeah.
28:22What shall we call the Fire Brigade?
28:24We are the Fire Brigade.
28:25Go on!
28:55Go on!
29:30Go on!
29:31You could've shattered the glass!
29:39Clear the mess up!
30:23The savagery of my captors bespoke a world whose dreams in my absence turned darker still.
30:32A world which would soon be at war again.
30:35A world still ravaged by the disease which doctors named Encephalitis Lethargica.
30:44I just want to sleep. Please.
30:47Some begged for sleep that would not come.
30:50Others lived as perpetual sleepwalkers.
30:54Most slept without waking.
31:01Sorry, sir.
31:03What's that you're reading?
31:05I'm afraid I'm doing much more sleeping than I am reading at the moment.
31:12Have you read Vile Bodies?
31:15Now that'll keep you awake.
31:42Are you alright?
31:46Well, I'm going to have a baby.
31:51That's wonderful news.
31:58He wants me to get rid of it.
32:01In fact, he's...
32:04I'm calling the doctor right now.
32:22I'll be fine.
32:30It's not your worry.
32:32It's not your worry.
32:57What is it?
32:58What's wrong?
32:59What's wrong?
33:01She's taken it all.
33:03The helmet, the pouch, the ruby, the grimoire.
33:07And $200,000 in cash.
33:09She's taken far more than that.
33:12Find her.
33:13Bring her back here now.
33:15Where are you going?
33:16See how badly Dreamer the Endless wants out of his cage.
33:23The woman who lives with me has gone and robbed me of my fortune.
33:30She's also robbed you.
33:33She's taken your helm.
33:36Your sand.
33:38And your ruby.
33:41I can unlock this.
33:42You can go after her.
33:46If you give me what I've been asking for.
33:51Wealth.
33:52Youth.
33:54Immortality.
33:57You know, you're a god.
33:58These things are nothing to you.
34:01And do you want your weapons?
34:03And your freedom?
34:08Speak to me.
34:09Speak to me.
34:11Speak to me.
34:13Come on.
34:13Speak to me.
34:14It's all right, Father.
34:15Get away from me.
34:17If you were any kind of son to me.
34:22If Randall were alive today.
34:25If Randall were alive, he would hate you as much as I do.
34:35Sir.
34:44You're never getting out of there.
34:48No.
35:00Sir.
35:01Can you hear me?
35:05Sir.
35:06He's not moving.
35:08Is he?
35:11He's dead.
35:16He's dead.
35:16He's dead.
35:19He's dead.

37:15Out of loss, new love was born, as was new life.
37:22For nine months later, Ethel Cripps gave birth to a son.
37:27My mum used to say that if I was good,
37:31I went to sleep, a man would come, sprinkle sand in my eyes.
37:39And make all my dreams come true.
37:45But the Sandman's not coming.
37:47From now on, Jami, you and I are going to have to make our own dreams come true.
37:57Nothing and no one is going to stand in our way.
38:17How is he today, Rogers?
38:19Quite good if I know, sir.
38:21Moved his hand this morning.
38:23Right hand.
38:31Oh my god.
38:36Alex.
38:41Hello.
38:45This is my friend, Paul.
38:50Paul.
38:53This is our unwilling guest.
38:57Look, we've been talking.
38:59Paul and I.
39:01And if I let you out, will you promise not to harm us?
39:12If you could just speak to us.
39:17You see, I told you.
39:19I'm telling you you have to keep trying.
39:22Show him that you can trust you.
39:26Show him that you mean it.
39:30I do mean it.
39:34Just promise that you won't harm me or Paul and I will let you out.
39:44Should I have believed him this time?
39:48Should I have forgiven him for murdering my raven?
39:54Perhaps.
39:56But in the end, I could not.
40:02I could have asked you for wealth, or power, like my father did.
40:08But all I never wanted was to be free of you.
40:16Surely you want that too.
40:23Alex, darling, please.
40:36Take me upstairs, Paul.
40:39I won't be coming down here again.
41:15Oh, Dracula here's not giving an inch.
41:19Why do you call it Dracula?
41:21Because I think it's one of them Draculas.
41:23What do you think it is?
41:25I'll try not to.
41:28You know what I think about?
41:31Mallorca.
41:33Four days, and I'll be on a beach.
41:36Stinking of suntan lotion.
41:38Lucky bugger.
41:40Yeah.
41:40I was on Corfu knowledge once.
41:43I'll make this right big part of the AFL in the morning.
41:48Sorry.
41:51It's a second.
41:52I'll be there.
41:53I'll be there.
41:54All right man.
41:54I'll be there.
41:59Woo.
42:00You're welcome.
42:03Here we are.
42:09You're welcome.
42:14Come on.
42:14Do you, just?
42:16Let's go.
42:54Don't move! Stay with Roar!
42:57What? What's he got in his hands?
42:59Oi! Open your hands! Now!
43:29Paul?
43:31Paul?
43:48Well, hello. Where did you come from?
44:06Hello.
44:09It's you. You're free.
44:15I am.
44:22Don't you have any idea what it was like?
44:25Confined in a cage for over a century?
44:29Do you understand the damage you've done to your world?
44:34I'm sorry. I... I didn't know. Please.
44:39Your punishment then shall be a gift.
44:42I give you this.
44:44The gift of eternal sleep.
44:57Alex. Alex, wake up. Please. Please.
45:01More than a century of tortured sleep, of dreams and nightmares running riot, was coming to an end.
45:09He's free.
45:14He's out of his cage.
45:28So... I'm afraid I'm gonna have to run.
45:33And... I'm not gonna stop until I've reshaped this world.
45:39And... to look... just like me.
46:03Sir!
46:06Sir!
46:06Oh, my goodness.
46:10Sir.
46:12It's me.
46:16It's Lucienne.
46:22Lucienne.
46:24Lucienne.
46:24You're home.
46:25My lord.
46:27My lord.
46:37My lord.
46:38My lord.
46:53My lord.
46:55My lord.
46:56Miss Ð Garcia.
46:56My lord.
46:59My lord.
47:11Forgive me, sir, but the realm, the palace, they are not as you left them.
47:44What happened here, who did this?
47:52My lord, you are the dreaming.
47:55The dreaming is you.
47:57With you gone as long as you were, the realm began to decay and crumble.
48:07And the residents?
48:10The palace staff?
48:13I'm afraid most have gone.
48:18Gone?
48:19Some went looking for you.
48:22And the others?
48:26They thought perhaps you'd grown weary of your duties.
48:33And...
48:33What?
48:37Abandoned them?
48:40Had they so little faith in me?
48:43Do my own subjects not know me?
48:46If I mean, sir.
48:49It would not be the first time one of the Endless had just...
48:52Enough.
48:53I will not have dreams and nightmares preying on the waking world.
48:57I will bring them all back.
49:04I made this realm once, Lucien.
49:09I will make it again.
49:32I will make it again.
49:36You want me to kill the king of dreams?
49:39You just have to trust me.
49:41Whatever's happening, however it's happening, your dreams are coming true.
49:45I don't.
49:46I'm worried about my brother.
49:48I need your help if dreams disappear, then so will humanity.
