00:27It has many names.
00:31Avernus, Tartarus, Hades, the Infernal Region you call Hell.
00:39So Hell does exist?
00:42It does, for some.
00:45Does that mean it doesn't exist if you don't believe in it?
00:50Did you believe in it?
00:53When you were a man?
00:55Yeah, I just didn't expect Hell to be cold.
01:03So, which way do we go?
01:06I suggest we follow the damned.
01:14They make you bring your own fire to Hell?
01:16No, no, no, no.
01:52Hello.
01:55Are you all right?
01:56I think so.
01:58Here, let me help you.
02:03I'm so sorry.
02:04It's my fault entirely.
02:07I've lost my slippers somewhere.
02:10Oh, here you go.
02:11Oh, you're very kind.
02:14I suppose I'm rather underdressed.
02:17Listen, if it were up to me, I'd never get out of my pajamas.
02:22You live nearby, or...?
02:25No, I, uh...
02:29I have no idea where I am, actually.
02:34Can I...?
02:35Do you need a ride somewhere?
02:37I'd be happy to take you.
02:39I'd hate to impose.
02:40Oh, you're not imposing at all, honestly.
02:42Where are we headed?
02:44Do you know where Mayhew is?
02:46It's on my way.
02:47I live in Cumberland.
02:49I'm Rosemary.
02:52Hello, Rosemary.
02:52I'm John.
02:53Good to meet you, John.
02:56Come on, I'll introduce you to Susie.
02:58Who's Susie?
02:59My Rottweiler.
03:14We're not sneaking in with them?
03:17A king may not enter another monarch's realm uninvited.
03:21There are rules.
03:24Protocols which must be followed.
03:34Oh my God!
03:38I'm sorry.
03:44You were doing an evil lesson at all, you thought you said you'll find a good way.
03:44I wasn't even a good one in the last two weeks.
03:46You can come to our ownہ.
03:49And I didn't want to open the door.
03:49You're on your own, your own way.
03:57It's my house.
03:59I don't want to open it, you're not.
04:19There's one at the door, at the gate of that nation.
04:25Is it thief, thug, or whore?
04:28There's one at the door, and there's room for one more, till the end of creation.
04:40Greetings, squatter bloat.
04:44I seek an audience with your sovereign.
04:48And who might you be?
04:49I am the king of dreams, ruler of the nightmare realms.
04:55Yes, my clown.
04:59So where's your crown?
05:02Guard your tongue, demon.
05:05The ruler of hell will not be kind to one who insults an honored guest.
05:09And I am a guest in this realm, as I am monarch of my own.
05:15Hmm, so where's your ruby?
05:20Shall I use it to haunt your dreams?
05:23And your waking hours too, or will you open the gates of hell and let us through?
05:43Now, take us to the palace.
05:47This one at the door, this one at the door, this one at the door.
05:53So, you live in Mayhew.
05:56Not anymore, my things are there.
06:00So you used to live in Mayhew?
06:02Um, yes, a few years ago.
06:08My mother's work forced us to move around quite a bit.
06:12What did she do?
06:16Actually, she passed away quite recently.
06:19Oh, John.
06:20It's only just happened, so I'm still a little bit...
06:23Of course.
06:26I'm so sorry, John.
06:27She wasn't a very good person, I'm afraid.
06:31That's an awful thing to say, isn't it?
06:33Even if it's true.
06:36No.
06:38I have a mother like that, too.
06:41Really?
06:43What does she do?
06:44She watches cable news all day.
06:48That's what she does.
06:50What about yours, when she was alive?
06:56When she was alive, my mother was a very successful thief.
07:04Really?
07:04Yes, I'm afraid so.
07:06What did she steal?
07:08Is that rude to ask?
07:10I'm sorry.
07:10No, not at all.
07:12She stole anything and everything.
07:14She stole art, she stole jewelry, other people's identities.
07:19That's why we have to keep moving all the time.
07:21That's why she lied about everything.
07:23Even to me.
07:27Well, maybe she was trying to protect you.
07:33Spoken like a woman with children of her own.
07:37Two girls.
07:39Samantha, Sarah.
07:47Rosemary, may I ask you something?
07:49Of course.
07:51Do you lie to Samantha and Sarah?
07:59Their dad was a liar in the family.
08:03You were married ten years before I found out he had another wife and another kid in another town.
08:10Oh my goodness.
08:11Yeah.
08:14I think lying is maybe the worst thing you can do to another person.
08:21I'm living proof of that.
08:26I'm sure your mom loved you and was proud of you.
08:30She did forgive me in the end.
08:32For what?
08:33Stealing from her.
08:34What did you steal?
08:35A ruby.
08:37But like no other, like nothing you've ever seen, she had me arrested of course and thrown in prison.
08:42For stealing the ruby?
08:43And arson.
08:46And murder.
08:49General mayhem, among other things.
08:51You see, the problem with having this ruby was that everyone was always trying to take it from me
08:55and so I just did what I had to do.
09:00You murdered people?
09:02They weren't good people.
09:06Not like you and Susie.
09:10Isn't that right, Susie?
09:13Isn't that right, my sweet darling?
09:30Any idea where we are?
09:33The landscape is subject to the whims of the Morning Star.
09:37The Morning Star?
09:38We have to spend the night in this literally godforsaken-
09:41Lucifer Morning Star.
09:44As in the devil?
09:46The ruler of hell is no mere devil.
09:49So you two know each other?
09:51We've known each other for a very long time.
09:53When we first met, Lucifer was the angel Samael.
09:56I forgot the devil used to be an angel.
09:59Not just any angel.
10:01The most beautiful, wisest, and most powerful of all angels.
10:08Saving only the creator, Lucifer is perhaps the most powerful being there is.
10:13More powerful than you?
10:16By far.
10:19Especially now.
10:20Why now?
10:21Last time I was here, I was an ornid guest.
10:24An envoy from my own kingdom.
10:25This time, I've invited myself.
10:29And I lack my symbols of office.
10:32But you're still dream of the endless, right?
10:34You got your sand.
10:39What's wrong?
10:41Squatterbroat is gone.
10:43All right.
10:44Don't panic.
10:44I'm just gonna fly up and see where we are.
10:50Nope.
10:51Nope.
10:51Not doing that.
11:06This way.
11:15Does this seem like the weight of the palace to you?
11:19No.
11:20A demon has a hundred motives for anything he does.
11:24All of them malevolent.
11:26Demon.
11:29This is not the way.
11:31winning.
11:39King Kong?
11:45Dream lord.
11:53It is you.
11:59Dream lord.
12:00I greet you, Nada.
12:03Keiko, how I have prayed for this day.
12:09I knew you would come.
12:12It pains me to see you like this.
12:17Then free me, Lord.
12:20Only your forgiveness can free me.
12:28Do you not still love me?
12:31It has been 10,000 years, Nada.
12:40Yes.
12:43I still love you.
12:47But I have not yet forgiven you.
12:59Come, Matthew.
13:01Keiko.
13:02I will not give up hope.
13:06I will never give up.
13:26Yes.
13:27I admit that in the past I may have done some things that are morally ambiguous.
13:37But it taught me about human nature and the secret of real understanding and compassion.
13:45Do you want to know what it is?
13:48Do.
13:49Well, this is going to sound rather odd, but the secret to having compassion for people is knowing that they
13:57are fundamentally selfish.
14:00I say this without judgment.
14:02It's how human beings are built.
14:03It's how they're made.
14:05But if you know that going in, if you understand that we are operating out of a biological congenital selfishness,
14:13then life begins to make a lot more sense.
14:19You all right?
14:22Oh, sorry.
14:24Phone slipped.
14:27You were saying?
14:32I was saying knowing people are selfish sets you free from having to take their actions, their lies, personally.
14:43People lie because they are selfish.
14:46They lie because they are human.
14:51They lie because they are scared.
14:54People will say anything, do anything, to keep from being hurt.
15:03That's what I think anyway.
15:09You're very good, Rosemary.
15:12I don't know what you mean.
15:14I mean, I experience people as basically selfish and you experience them as afraid, which they are. We all are.
15:24You're absolutely right.
15:26And good.
15:37Are you right if we stop for gas?
15:41No, not at all.
15:43No, not at all.
16:01So, that woman back there, anything you want to share with your friend, Matthew?
16:11Her name is Narda.
16:15She was the ruler of a tribe that called themselves the First People.
16:22We were in love.
16:24So, what did she do?
16:27How'd she end up here?
16:29She defied me.
16:31Wait.
16:32You put her here?
16:34The Morning Star is letting me know that Hell has prepared for my visit.
16:45Why are we stopping?
16:55We're here.
16:58We're here.
17:21We're here.
17:31We're here.
17:32No.
17:40Ok.
17:47I'�at
17:51I don't know.
18:25I don't know.
18:57I don't know.
19:39I don't know.
19:46I don't know.
20:04I don't know.
20:10I don't know.
20:32I don't know.
20:42I don't know.
20:42I don't know.
21:18I don't know.
21:21I don't know.
21:26I don't know.
21:36I don't know.
21:45I don't know.
21:49I don't know.
22:12I don't know.
22:25I don't know.
22:56I don't know.
22:59I don't know.
23:08I don't know.
23:12I don't know.
23:15I don't know.
23:21I don't know.
23:25I don't know.
23:30I don't know.
23:47I don't know.
23:49I don't know.
23:49I don't know.
23:53I don't know.
24:02I don't know.
24:09I don't know.
24:21I don't know.
24:22I don't know.
24:23I don't know.
24:42I don't know anybody else.
24:45I don't know anybody else.
24:56Actually, Rosemary, I could use a drink if you don't mind.
25:04Sure, what would you like?
25:07I don't know, I haven't been out in the world for 30 years.
25:13You've been in prison for 30 years?
25:15No, a psychiatric hospital.
25:17The beverage options were extremely limited to say the least.
25:21After you.
25:43Whatever you want, my treat.
25:46Are you sure?
25:47Absolutely.
25:49I'll just give the guy my credit card.
26:05I need you to call 9-1-1-3.
26:09I'm sorry, what?
26:10I need you to call 9-1-1-3.
26:13The man I'm with is an escape order.
26:19Are you fucking with me?
26:21Please, just call 9-1-1.
26:23Alright.
26:25I'm calling him right now.
26:28Yeah, alright.
26:28I'm calling him.
26:30I'm calling him.
26:30I need you to call him.
26:31Yeah, this is the filling station out on my side.
26:35That's right.
26:44Yeah, that's right.
26:48You want to send somebody down this one?
26:50That's right, we need to go.
27:02Let go of her.
27:04And we're going to wait here, the three of us, for the police.
27:08Oh man, I assure you, you don't want to point that gun at me.
27:15Sir, you don't stay where you are, I will shoot you.
27:19Please don't.
27:22You'll only be hurting yourself.
27:50You shouldn't have done that.
27:53It's my fault for trusting you.
27:57Are you going to hurt me?
28:02Are you taking me to my Ruby?
28:09Then I have no reason to hurt you.
28:16Until you give me one.
28:23Welcome, ladies and gentlemen.
28:27Today, for your entertainment and delectation, a formal challenge.
28:35Challenger was Dream, once the master of the realm of sleep.
28:43As a challenge, I have selected my champion.
28:47Ruler of Hell.
28:49Lucifer of Gordis.
28:54To represent me in a contest of skill, confidence and transformation.
29:02The old is good.
29:07Matthew, I need you to return to the dreaming.
29:10What? No!
29:11It's the only reason I allowed you to come here.
29:13So I could leave you?
29:14If I should not be able to leave this place, I would not have Lucien left alone with no word
29:18of my fate.
29:20Not again. The sand will take you back.
29:22I'm not going back.
29:24Morpheus.
29:25Am I interrupting a preliminary bout of some kind?
29:28Just a ringside pep talk, your majesty.
29:32We came here for the helm.
29:34And we're not leaving here without it.
29:37We shall see.
29:58As the challenged, I set the meter and take the first move.
30:08Very well.
30:12Make your move.
30:17I am...
30:20A dire wolf.
30:23Prey stalking.
30:25Lethal prowler.
30:30I am a hunter.
30:33Horse mounted.
30:35Wolf stabbing.
30:38Uh!
30:40Uh!
30:42Uh!
30:43Uh!
30:48Uh!
30:54I am...
30:57...a serpent.
30:59Horse-mighting.
31:03Poisoned-toothed.
31:12I am a bird of prey, snake devouring, talons ripping.
31:29I am a butcher bacterium.
31:35Warm life, destroy.
31:49I am a world, space floating, life nurturing.
32:01I am a nova, all exploding, planet cremating.
32:27I am a universe, all things encompassing, all life embracing.
32:38I am anti-life.
32:45The beast of judgement.
32:50The dark at the end of everything.
33:05What will you be then, dream lord?
33:15I...
33:20I...
33:23I...
33:26Boss?
33:28Hey!
33:29Boss!
33:30Still with us, Dream?
33:32He is.
33:33And it's his move.
33:34Your majesty.
33:36There are no more moves.
33:38What can survive the anti-life?
33:41Hey boss, listen to me.
33:43You know what can survive the anti-life?
33:47You!
33:48Dreams don't fucking die.
33:50Not if you believe in them.
33:52And I believe Dream of the Endless would never leave his raven here alone in hell with Lucifer.
34:06It's fine.
34:07It's fine.
34:19Home.
34:20Home.
34:20Home.
34:21Home.
34:22Home.
34:31Hope.
34:38What'll I bring him?
34:41It's your move.
34:43What is it that kills hope?
34:51Corinthal, give him his help.
34:55No.
34:57I won't.
34:58It's mine.
35:00Please.
35:16No!
35:18No!
35:22No!
35:25No!
35:27No!
35:30No!
35:36Thank you, Martha Keen.
35:44Thank you Lightbringer. The ruler of hell is honourable indeed. I will not forget this.
35:55Honourable? You joke surely.
35:59Look out there Morpheus. The billion lords of hell stand arrayed about you.
36:07Tell us. Why should we let you leave? Helmet or no, you have no power here. After all, what power
36:19of dreams in hell?
36:26You say I have no power here. Perhaps you speak truly. But to say dreams have no power in hell.
36:40Tell me Lucifer Morningstar, what power would hell have if those here imprisoned were not able to dream?
36:50Of heaven.
37:01One day Morpheus, we shall destroy you.
37:12Until that day, Lightbringer.
37:51You think Lucifer will come after you? Why? Because you just publicly humiliated the ruler of hell.
38:03Can you even see in that thing?
38:05I can. I can see the ruby.
38:10I can see.
38:38We'll find it back.
38:55Something's wrong.
38:57Someone's altered it.
39:03Is this it?
39:05Yes.
40:07Oh, God.
40:25What are you still doing here?
40:28I know I'm going to regret this, but do you need a ride somewhere?
40:36Do you really want me to get back into that truck?
40:39The truth, no lies.
40:43I want to go home.
40:45You're a good person, Rosemary.
40:51Unfortunately, good people seldom survive in this world.
40:57Just don't hurt Susie.
40:59Please.
41:00I don't care what happens to me, but...
41:04Here.
41:06Take it.
41:10Wear it.
41:13From now on,
41:16No one will be able to hurt you, not even me.
41:20There's no need to be afraid or tell a lie ever again.
41:25Don't you need it?
41:26No.
41:28I have my ruby.
41:31Boss.
41:34Boss!
41:34The ruby makes dreams come true.
41:39And I'm going to use it
41:41to save the world.
41:53Spokes here.
41:54If it wasn't, we'll be going home next week for us.
41:54No,
41:54No,
42:11You,
42:12blink.
