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.
00:07:10Down.
00:07:13You know...
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.
00:07:22For revelation.
00:07:24For wisdom.
00:07:25Justice is a delusion.
00:07:28And wisdom has no place here either.
00:07:30but revelation that 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 you'll find him there but the way
00:07:46is hard a little cat could come to much harm if she strays from the path cats walk their own
00:07:56paths
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
00:08:52everything that makes me what i am and 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
00:09:12why 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 barely 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 i keep my own counsel
00:09:41enter then proud cat but be warned dreams have a price
00:09:54and i walked on
00:10:15i am here
00:10:17and who are you
00:10:21a cat a walker in the night places
00:10:24a dead crow sent me here for 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
00:10:47look into my eyes then little sister
00:10:50look into my eyes
00:11:02and in his eyes
00:11:04i saw everything
00:11:05i saw the truth
00:11:07our truth
00:11:08and it transcended anything i had imagined
00:11:13many many seasons ago
00:11:16cats truly ruled this world
00:11:18we were larger than
00:11:20everything made for us
00:11:23humans were tiny creatures
00:11:25no larger than we are now
00:11:27they 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 i saw in his eyes
00:11:45the game of cat and man
00:11:51and then
00:11:52one 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
00:12:05do not do 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
00:12:14a world we rule
00:12:17if enough of us dream it
00:12:18it will happen
00:12:21dreams shape the world
00:12:26words 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
00:12:37it 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 change
00:12:47we were prey to them
00:12:49to dogs
00:12:50their metal machines
00:12:51we were tiny
00:12:52and they were huge
00:12:55so they changed the world
00:12:56made it like it is now
00:12:58not exactly
00:13:00they dreamed the world
00:13:02so it was always the way it is now
00:13:03there was never a world where cats were in
00:13:06they changed it
00:13:07from beginning of all things
00:13:09to the end of time
00:13:10it was ever thus
00:13:13do you understand now
00:13:14yes
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
00:13:26i hope so
00:13:28then wake child
00:13:30with 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
00:14:29repeating it until i die
00:14:32or until a thousand cats hear my words
00:14:35and believe them and dream
00:14:40and we come again
00:14:42and we come again
00:14:43to paradise
00:14:54mistress

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 god or king
00:15:26persuade 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 she'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
00:15:53oh look at her
00:15:55isn't that cute
00:15:57it is
00:15:58it's really cute
00:16:11you can't force a character to do something
00:16:14just because it's easier
00:16:15for you as a writer
00:16:17character has to come first
00:16:22everything else follows
00:16:23every plot twist
00:16:27every line of dialogue
00:16:31every fraught meaningful silence
00:16:37any questions
00:16:38yeah
00:16:40could you tell us a bit about your process
00:16:44do you have any advice for those of us who are just starting out
00:16:47and 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
00:16:59and
00:17:02it doesn't get any easier
00:17:05but try not to be discouraged when it is difficult
00:17:08my 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
00:17:26points of view
00:17:35did you get it
00:17:36took some doing
00:17:37but

00:17:48thank you
00:17:50you'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
00:18:09when i have time
00:18:10your parents are very wise

00:18:52uh no
00:18:55but
00:18:56you will definitely be in the acknowledgements
00:18:58is it a sequel
00:19:01or
00:19:02something new
00:19:04that would be telling
00:19:05what do you think
00:19:35Who is it?
00:19:37Richard Maddox, to see Erasmus Fry.
00:19:41I'm in, 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?
00:20:18Have you written anything profound and stirring recently?
00:20:24You know I haven't, Mr Fry.
00:20:27No.
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, have a drink, and show me my present.
00:20:38Not necessarily in that order.
00:20:42Yeah.
00:20:57Oh, well done, dear boy.
00:21:00Oh, a genuine Trikino Berzua.
00:21:07Do you know about these?
00:21:09They're generally removed from the stomachs of young women who are in the habit of ingesting their own hair.
00:21:16The Rapunzel syndrome, it's called.
00:21:20Bl waxcribers for once believed to possess mystic powers.
00:21:25They can remedy poison, make the sick well.
00:21:27So, Edward IV survived the effects of a poisoned wound due solely to the possession of a bassoar.
00:21:37Yes, I see, I'm lecturing again.
00:21:41An old writer with no one to talk to grows 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, researching yet another novel I was sure to abandon.
00:22:04This one steeped in Greek mythology and while I was there I discovered a trove of ancient texts about the
00:22:11Muses and how to control them using moly, sorcerer's garlic and certain lost rituals.
00:22:22The hardest part was getting her back to England.
00:22:51There she is.
00:22:55What would I do?
00:22:55Are you with me now, Erasmus?
00:22:58Am I to perform for your amusement?
00:23:02Is this man to be our audience?
00:23:06This is Richard Maddock.
00:23:08He's a novelist, or at least he's written one extremely successful first novel, but now he finds himself quite unable
00:23:16to write anything else.
00:23:18Richard, this is Calliope, the youngest of the nine sisters. She was Homer's muse, so she ought to be good
00:23:25enough for you.
00:23:27Calliope, I'm giving you to Richard. You'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, nor in an aging author who has never been what you might
00:23:44call a shining example when it came to keeping his word.
00:23:49What you promised.
00:23:52Writers are liars, my dear. Surely you've realized that by now.
00:24:03Don't worry, she can't run away. She's bound to you now, just 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 pouty, aggrieved little face of hers all day. And neither will you,
00:24:20I assure you.
00:24:22I don't know if I can do this.
00:24:24Of 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. She's not human. She's thousands of years old. She was created for this. This is her
00:25:00purpose. To inspire men like us. After all, she gave me fame, glory, novels, poems, plays.
00:25:12You'll see.
00:25:14If that's true, why would you?
00:25:16My time is past. All my best work is out of print. Even muse inspired. Nobody reads Erasmus Fry anymore.
00:25:29Now, take the little cow away, Richard. I never want to see either of you again.
00:25:37However, if you ever happen to feel a spark of gratitude, you might persuade your publisher to bring Here Comes
00:25:45a Candle back into print.
00:25:47I was particularly proud of that one.
00:26:15I was particularly proud of that one.
00:26:36I just need time to think about what to do.
00:26:41What is there to think about?
00:26:44I am a goddess, a daughter of Zeus. I am not a possession to be kept and used and traded.
00:26:58You must set me free. You have only to say the words.
00:27:02I will. I promise. But, um...
00:27:09Do you think you could help me first?
00:27:15Inspire me?
00:27:17Just for one book and then I will let you go. I 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.
00:28:03I'll die.
00:28:09I'll be glad to be here.
00:28:13I'll be back and forth.
00:28:13I won't be back.
00:28:14And there are many other people who gave me back to my dad's house.
00:28:14I will take a few months to do it, but I can't be back to my dad's house.
00:28:16I can't believe that I'm a nice fan, but I can't believe it anymore.
00:28:17No, I can't believe I can do.
00:28:21I can't believe that.
00:30:00What's so wrong?
00:30:01So yeah, Borgians, 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, 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 with me.
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,
00:33:40to inspire men like us.
00:33:47I understand.
00:33:47Vicky,
00:33:48say something,
00:33:50so I know you understand.
00:33:51I understand.
00:33:55I'll send you something.
00:34:17Call IP.
00:34:57Gracious ladies,
00:34:59Mother of the Kamen,
00:35:01hear my prayer.
00:35:03It is I,
00:35:05your daughter,
00:35:07Calliope,
00:35:08that calls you to deliver me from this place.
00:35:12Ladies of Meditation,
00:35:15Remembrance,
00:35:16and Song.
00:35:19Harken to me.
00:35:20All right.
00:35:22Enough beautiful voice.
00:35:31We feel your pain, daughter,
00:35:32but we cannot help you.
00:35:34You were snared upon Helicon,
00:35:35according 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,
00:35:50or able to meddle in mortal affairs in these days,
00:35:52Calliope.
00:35:53Many gods have died,
00:35:54my daughter.
00:35:55Only the Endless never fade.
00:35:56And even they have been having a difficult time of late.
00:36:01Still,
00:36:04every little bit helps,
00:36:06as the old woman said when she pissed in the sea.
00:36:09The Endless.
00:36:11There's a thought.
00:36:13After all,
00:36:14the Dream King and Calliope
00:36:15were close at one point.
00:36:17Not for long.
00:36:18And remember,
00:36:19sister self,
00:36:20they did not part on the best of terms.
00:36:23Still,
00:36:24she did bear his cup.
00:36:27That boy child who went to Hades for his lady love,
00:36:30and died in Thrace,
00:36:32torn apart for his sacrilege.
00:36:35He had a beautiful voice, too.
00:36:40Orpheus.
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,
00:36:57even if you wished it.
00:36:59Which is unlikely.
00:37:00Like you,
00:37:00your 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.
00:37:33Night beggar for you.
00:37:39We've got a nice little bidding war on our hands.
00:37:43Every major studio wants a piece of it.
00:37:46Film, broadcast, streaming.
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,
00:38:04let 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.
00:38:12No.
00:38:12I have.
00:38:14And the reason I can have written by an entirely different man.
00:38:17It's a gorgeous book.
00:38:20Quote, it's 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 characterization of Eileen.
00:38:44There 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 I do tend to regard myself as a feminist writer.
00:39:06And where does that voice come from in you, the female voice?
00:39:15From the women in my life.
00:39:17From the women in my life.
00:39:24You know, we both know.
00:39:47I'm shooting the movie version in Los Angeles the studio have hired me a private jet so we shouldn't have
00:39:52any trouble getting you into the country and
00:39:54Who knows?
00:39:56Maybe we'll decide to stay in LA
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
00:40:17Move and
00:40:19Inspire people
00:40:21Isn't that what muses were made for?
00:40:24My sister goddesses and I were born. We were not made. Sorry, it's Larry
00:40:29Did you talk to the studio?
00:40:37No, I need them to guarantee at the outset that cast and crew will be made up of at least
00:40:4350% women and people of color
00:40:47And then we need to publicize it so they can't back out of it when it comes to hiring people
00:40:50It
00:40:51whatever it is
00:40:52What for?
00:40:53oh
00:41:04Yeah
00:41:18What the hell?
00:41:20Oh
00:41:20so much!
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.
00:42:21Morpheus? What 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.
00:43:28So, 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?
00:43:55Last summer?
00:43:57Last summer? Did you know him?
00:43:59Well, I didn't know him. I, er, we met on a couple of occasions.
00:44:03He was very kind about my work.
00:44:08He must have been almost 90. Did he, um, did he die of old age?
00:44:15No. He actually poisoned himself. Apparently, the last thing he did was write a letter to his old publisher, begging
00:44:22them to bring one of his books back into print.
00:44:25Here comes a candle, I suppose.
00:44:27I think it was. How did you know?
00:44:31It was perhaps my favourite book when I was growing up. It 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. You're Richard Maddock. Oh, sorry. Rick Maddock.
00:44:59Right. Next question.
00:45:10You came.
00:45:15You called.
00:45:18They told me you had been in prison. Just like me.
00:45:23Not like you. My suffering was nothing compared to yours.
00:45:28Don't say that.
00:45:31Comparing our suffering only compounds it. It 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.
00:45:44I 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. And more.
00:46:01Dream.
00:46:02He must be punished.
00:46:05How? What 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.
00:46:33I...
00:46:36I...
00:46:36I...
00:46:36I did not know where else to turn.
00:46:37You...
00:46:38You 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?
00:47:27What 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 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 Maddock.
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...
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.
00:48:28Then you will not set her free because you need ideas.
00:48:32Well.
00:48:34If it's ideas you want, then you shall have them.
00:48:38In abundance.
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 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, he thought about the story in every star.
00:50:02Like fireflies.
00:50:04Flicking.
00:50:07Fading.
00:50:09In the night.
00:50:23Um.
00:50:25Any questions?
00:50:28Ah.
00:50:32The young woman in the third row.
00:50:37Your work spans so many genres, so many worlds, so many different kinds of characters.
00:50:45May I just ask, where does all that come from?
00:50:50For me, ideas 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, set at...
00:51:06A book reading.
00:51:08There.
00:51:10Something had happened to the world outside.
00:51:14A holocaust.
00:51:16Of some kind.
00:51:17But the audience,
00:51:18we're 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, a dark brethren linked by profane rites and blood vows.
00:51:37To destroy an author, they sacrifice a child and 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.
00:52:18A man who inherits a library card to the library of Alexandria.
00:52:25Two old women taking a weasel on holiday.
00:52:36A Sistina about silence using the words dark, ragged, never, screaming, fire, kiss.
00:52:48An old man who owns the universe and kept it in a jam jar.
00:52:52A man who falls in love with a paper doll.
00:52:54Mr. Maddock, it's Nora. What's happened to your hands?
00:52:57I'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, but they're coming too fast.
00:53:12You need to get him to the hospital.
00:53:13No, please.
00:53:15Go to my house.
00:53:17There 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, didn'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 seen as a cargo cult.
00:53:56We'll meet you at the hospital.
00:53:57The sun setting over the path and a shark's teeth soup.
00:54:00A nightingale, a rose bush and a black rubber dog collar.
00:54:21Hello?
00:54:23Hello?
00:54:36Hello?
00:54:58Hello?
00:54:58Hello?
00:54:59Hello?
00:55:00It'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?
00:55:32I do not know.
00:55:36By inspiring humanity to want better for themselves
00:55:39and each other.
00:55:41By rewriting the laws by which I was held.
00:55:45Laws that were written long ago,
00:55:46in which my sisters and I had no say.
00:55:49I shall do the same in my realm.
00:55:53You have changed, Oneros.
00:55:56In the old days, you 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 learnt much in recent times,
00:56:21and...
00:56:23no matter.
00:56:26I do not hate you.
00:56:34I think you should release the mortal now.
00:56:38He has set me free,
00:56:40and without forgiveness wounds will never heal.
00:56:42You would forgive him
00:56:44for what he has done.
00:56:46I would not forgive what 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...
00:57:20I don't know anymore.
00:57:23I keep trying to think.
00:57:26I did what you asked.
00:57:27I went to your place.
00:57:29There was just...
00:57:31There was just...
00:57:31a book.
00:57:33There was something she said.
00:57:35The...
00:57:36paper of forms.
00:57:39There was a name.
00:57:40She wrote it down.
00:57:42I...
00:57:45I wish I could remember.
00:57:46It's so hard to...
00:57:50think all of a sudden.
00:57:53Is there anyone I should call?
00:57:55She's gone.
00:58:01And it's all gone with her.
00:58:04The ideas.
00:58:06The stories.
00:58:11They were all hers.
00:58:14Whose?
00:58:14Who are you talking about?
00:58:23I have no...
00:58:25idea.
00:58:32No idea.
00:58:39May I...
00:58:40visit you in the dream realm sometime?
00:58:44So that we may finally talk about our son.
00:58:50And...
00:58:52Grieve him properly?
00:58:56One day.
00:58:57Perhaps, but...
00:59:01I understand.
00:59:21I will not forget this.
00:59:25Fare you well.
00:59:31I will not forget this.
00:59:32You fortune me with you.
00:59:37Goodbye, Clive.
00:59:47Goodbye, Clive.
00:59:58Bye.
00:59:59Bye.
01:00:08Bye.
