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.
03:32Oh, my God.
03:35Oh...
03:40Oh, my God.
04:00I need to go.
04:19There's one at the door, at the gate of that nation.
04:25Is it thief, thug, or whore?
04:29There'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.
05:16So where's your ruby?
05:20Shall I use it to haunt your dreams?
05:23And your waking hours too?
05:26Or will you open the gates of hell, and let us through?
05:43No.
05:45Take us to the palace.
05:48This one at the door.
05:49This one at the door.
05:53So, you live in Mayhew?
05:56Not anymore.
05:58My, uh, things are there.
06:00So you used to live in Mayhew?
06:03Uh...
06:04Yes.
06:05A few years ago.
06:08My mother's work forces us to move around quite a bit.
06:12What did she do?
06:16Actually, she passed away quite recently.
06:19Ah, John.
06:20It's only just happened, so I'm still a little bit...
06:23Of course.
06:26I'm so sorry, John.
06:28She 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.
06:40Really?
06:43What does she do?
06:44She watches cable news.
06:46All day.
06:48That's what she does.
06:50What about yours?
06:52When she was alive?
06:56When she was alive,
06:59my 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,
07:17other 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.
07:28Well, maybe she was trying to protect you.
07:30No, not at all.
07:33Yeah.
07:33She's been spoken like a woman with children of her own.
07:37Two girls, Samantha, Sarah.
07:41Yeah.
07:47Rosemary, may I ask you something?
07:49of course do you lie to samantha and sarah
07:59their dad was a liar in the family we were married 10 years before i found out he had
08:07another wife and another kid in another town oh my goodness yeah
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 for what stealing from her what did you steal a 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 and arson
08:46and murder
08:49general mayhem among other things you see the problem with having this ruby was that everyone
08:53was always trying to take it from me and so i just did what i had to do
09:00you murdered people they weren't good people
09:06not like you and susie isn't that right susie
09:12isn't that right my sweet god
09:30any idea where we are
09:33the landscape is subject to the whims of the morning star
09:36the morning star we have to spend the night in this literally god forsaken
09:41lucifer morning star
09:44as in the devil
09:45the ruler of hell is no mere devil
09:49so you two know each other
09:50we've known each other for a very long time
09:53when we first met lucifer was the angel samuel
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
10:23an envoy from my own kingdom
10:25this time i've invited myself
10:29and i lack my symbols of office
10:31but you're still dream of the endless right you you got your sand
10:39what's wrong
10:40squatter bloat
10:42it's gone
10:43all right don't panic i'm just gonna fly up and see where we are
10:50nope nope
10:51not doing that
11:06this way
11:16does this seem like the way to the palace to you
11:19a demon has a hundred motives for anything he does
11:23all of them malevolent
11:26demon
11:29this is not the way
11:52it is you
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.
12:21Only 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, I will not give up hope.
13:06I will never give up hope.
13:26Yes, I 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 the biological congenital selfishness,
14:13then life begins to make a lot more sense.
14:17Yes.
14:19Are you all right?
14:20Yes.
14:22Oh, sorry.
14:24Phone slipped.
14:28You 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.
15:23We all are.
15:24You're absolutely right.
15:26And good.
15:37Do you mind if we stop for gas?
15:41No, not at all.
15:44No, 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.
16:56No.
17:08No.
17:15It's not as long as she's in the book.
17:15Yeah.
17:20No.
17:22No.
17:23No.
17:25No.
17:25No.
17:26No.
17:35Let's go.
17:56Let's go.
18:26Hello.
18:43Hello, Dream.
18:46Greetings to you, Lucifer Morningstar.
18:50And to you, Mazikeen of the Lilim.
18:55Greetings, Dreamlord.
18:58You look well, Dream.
19:00Are you well?
19:01And your family?
19:03Destiny?
19:04Death?
19:05Despair?
19:06And the others?
19:09I presume the ruler of hell knows this is no social core.
19:12Have you come to join forces, then?
19:15To ally your realm to ours?
19:17To acknowledge the sovereignty of hell?
19:20You know my feelings on that, Lightbringer.
19:23Feelings change.
19:26Especially when one has been caught and imprisoned by mortals.
19:31We expected better of you, sweet Morpheus.
19:35I have come because my helm of state was stolen from me.
19:39I believe one of your demons has it.
19:41I should like it back.
19:45Now.
19:47Dream.
19:48If only it were that easy.
19:51But there are rules, you see.
19:54Protocols which must be followed.
20:00Which demon has your helm?
20:02Name it.
20:03And we will bring it here.
20:05I confess I do not know the name.
20:11Then we will have to summon all of them.
20:27There now, Dream.
20:28You may inquire.
20:30Which demon has your helmet?
20:34Shall we interview them one at a time, or...?
20:39That won't be necessary.
20:54It surprises us how easily you would give up, Dream.
20:58We know how you relied upon your tools.
21:02But tools are the subtlest of traps.
21:07We become reliant upon them, and in their absence,
21:12we are vulnerable.
21:15Weak.
21:17Defenseless.
21:19Not entirely.
21:24I have recovered my sand.
21:28It brought me to hell.
21:31And now it brings that which is my in hell to me.
22:09Tell me your name, demon.
22:10Do I have to tell him?
22:12That is Coranzon.
22:14A duke of hell.
22:16Coranzon.
22:19The helm is mine.
22:22You must return it to me.
22:24No.
22:25It's mine now.
22:27I traded it from a mortal for a paltry thing.
22:30It was a fair trade.
22:32I've broken no laws.
22:34And if the Dream King wants his helm back,
22:38he will have to fight me for it.
22:42Very well.
22:44I challenge you, Coranzon.
22:48You know the rules, Dream Lord.
22:50If I win, you will return my helmet.
22:53And if you lose, you'll serve as my slave in hell for eternity.
23:05I accept the terms.
23:08And whom will you choose to represent you in the battle?
23:13I shall represent myself.
23:16Coranzon.
23:18Whom will you choose to represent you?
23:26I choose you, sire.
23:45Apologies, Dream.
23:47But the laws of hell demand that I become his champion.
23:53But if you would not fight me...
23:58I have accepted the terms.
24:03Let the challenge begin.
24:20I will be five minutes.
24:21Oh, we'll be fine.
24:22You take your time.
24:41Looks like I have the prepay inside.
24:43Want anything?
24:44Are you thirsty?
24:46No, thank you.
24:47I'm fine.
24:49It won't be a minute.
24:56Actually, uh...
24:57Rosemary.
24:59Uh...
25:01I could use a drink, if you don't mind.
25:04Sure, what would you like?
25:07I don't know.
25:08I haven't been out in the world for 30 years.
25:13You've been in prison for 30 years?
25:15No, uh...
25:16Psychiatric 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.
25:48I'll just give the guy my credit card.
26:05I need you to call 9-1-1-3.
26:09Oh, I'm sorry.
26:10What?
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.
26:23All right.
26:25Call him right now.
26:28Yeah, all right.
26:29Call him.
26:30Me too.
26:31Hey, this is the filling station.
26:33I don't mind, sir.
26:35It's right.
26:44Yeah, that's right.
26:47You want to send somebody down, there's...
26:49There's somebody 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.
27:21You'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.
28:34Challenger, this dream.
28:38Once the master of the realm of sleep.
28:43As a challenge, I have selected my champion, ruler of hell, Lucifer of Gornister.
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 Lucienne left alone with no word
29:18of my fate.
29:20Not again.
29:21The sand will take you back.
29:22I'm not going back.
29:25Morpheus, am I interrupting a preliminary bout of some kind?
29:28Just, uh, ringside pep talk, your majesty.
29:32We came here for the helm, and 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.
30:13Make your move.
30:17I am a dire wolf.
30:23Prey stalking, lethal prowler.
30:29I am a hunter.
30:33Horse-mounted.
30:35Wolf-stabbing.
30:54I am a sap.
30:58Horse-mighting.
31:03Poisoned-toothed.
31:12I am a bird of prey.
31:14Snake-devouring.
31:16Talons-ripping.
31:28I am a butcher bacterium.
31:36Warm life destroyed.
31:48I am a world.
31:53I am a world.
31:55Space floating.
31:56Life nurturing.
32:01I am a nova.
32:04I am a nova.
32:06All exploding planet cremating.
32:12I am a nova.
32:18All exploding planet cremating.
32:27I am a universe.
32:30All things encompassing.
32:34All life embracing.
32:38I am anti-life.
32:42I am anti-life.
32:57I am anti-life.
32:59I am anti-life.
33:01I am anti-life.
33:08I am anti-life.
33:18I am.
33:22I am.
33:24I am.
33:25I am.
33:26I am.
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.
34:00You will have a new life.
34:02All in hell.
34:08Home.
34:19Home.
34:20Home.
34:21Home.
34:21Home.
34:21Home.
34:22Home.
34:31Hope.
34:38What'll I bring up?
34:41It's your move.
34:43What is it that kills hope?
34:51Coranthal, give him his help.
34:55No.
34:57I won't.
34:59It's mine.
35:00Please.
35:36Thank you, Martha Keene.
35:45Thank you, Lightbringer.
35:46The ruler of hell is honorable indeed.
35:49I will not forget this.
35:52Honorable?
35:55You joke, surely.
35:59Look out there, Morpheus.
36:02The billion lords of hell stand arrayed about you.
36:07Tell us.
36:10Why should we let you leave?
36:12Helmet or no, you have no power here.
36:16After all...
36:18What power of dreams...
36:20Dreams...
36:22In hell.
36:25You say I have no power here.
36:30Perhaps you speak truly.
36:34But to say dreams have no power in hell...
36:40Tell me, Lucifer Morningstar...
36:43What power would hell have if those here imprisoned were not able to dream...
36:51Of heaven?
37:01One day, Morpheus...
37:06We shall destroy you.
37:12Until that day, Lightbringer.
37:16Up to the sea...
37:18No one, it's his birthday.
37:19I'm not alone...
37:26I'm not alone...
37:31I'm not alone...
37:34I'm not alone...
37:36I'm alone...
37:44But to say you agree...
37:51You think Lucifer will come after you?
37:53Why?
37:55Because you just publicly humiliated the ruler of hell.
38:03Can you even see in that thing?
38:05I can.
38:07I can see the ruby.
38:16I can.
38:54Something's wrong.
38:57Someone's altered it.
39:02Is this it?
39:05Yes.
39:29I don't know.
40:26I don't know.
40:29I regret this, but do you need a ride somewhere?
40:36Do you really want me to get back into that truck?
40:39The truth.
40:40No lies.
40:43I want to go home.
40:45You're a good person, Rosemary.
40:50I don't know.
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.
41:02I don't care what happens to you, but...
41:05Here.
41:07Take it.
41:10Wear it.
41:14From now on, no one will be able to hurt you.
41:18Not even me.
41:20There's no need to be afraid or tell a lie ever again.
41:25Don't you need it?
41:26No.
41:29I have my Ruby.
41:32Boss.
41:33Boss!
41:34The Ruby makes dreams come true.
41:39I'm going to use it...
41:42to save the world.
41:55To be continued...
42:39To be continued...
43:11To be continued...
43:41To be continued...
44:13To be continued...
44:43To be continued...
45:13To be continued...
45:14To be continued...
