00:00:02.
00:00:02.
00:00:02.
00:00:02.
00:00:11.
00:00:11.
00:00:11.
00:00:29Come on, darling. Come 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.
00:00:44Good night, love ball.
00:01:02It's tonight. Are you coming?
00:01:05Should be amusing, if nothing else.
00:01:06Should 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.
00:01:14Not there.
00:01:15The clear hole is partly open.
00:01:16You can get out through there.
00:01:35Jake, you tell, little one, we mustn't miss this.
00:01:57Good jump. You just have to work on the landing.
00:02:00Come on.
00:02:02The 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.
00:02:22Although, I can't see much point to it.
00:02:26Then why are you here?
00:02:28Hmm.
00:02:30Curiosity, perhaps?
00:02:34I want to hear what she has to say.
00:02:38So do we all, child.
00:02:40So do we all.
00:03:03Where is she?
00:03:15Where is she?
00:03:19Sisters, 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.
00:03:38I 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.
00:04:09Ni-
00:04:09Ni-
00:04:19Ni
00:04:27he was strong and fast his claws and teeth were sharp as winter he was my choice of lover
00:04:38i never saw him again but i did not forget him i didn't remember my own mother but i vowed
00:04:46i
00:04:47would be different i would teach them how to wash how to stalk silently how to hunt
00:04:53you knew she was in heat why didn't you keep her inside i think they're kind of cute cute
00:05:00she's a purebred registered blue point he's a half-breed and worth anything
00:05:16what are you gonna do with them don't worry i'll take care of it
00:05:48i felt them
00:05:51from afar in the dark as the cold water took them felt them thrash and claw sightlessly
00:06:01felt them call to me in their fear and then they were gone
00:06:14for god's sake it's not as if she understands
00:06:18i mean look at her she's probably relieved
00:06:22who'd want four screaming brats around
00:06:25you're probably right i just feel guilty
00:06:31i knew then that i had lied to myself that we were subordinate
00:06:35while we lived with humanity we could not call ourselves free
00:06:40and so i prayed i prayed to the darkness to the night i prayed to the king of cats he
00:06:48who walks amongst
00:06:49us and we do not know him and i dreamed
00:07:13why have you come here little cat to the heart of the dreaming
00:07:17there is nothing here for you i have come for justice for revelation for wisdom
00:07:25justice is a delusion and wisdom has no place here either
00:07:30but revelation that is the province of dream
00:07:35if 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 but the way is hard
00:07:49a little cat could come to much harm
00:07:51if she strays from the path
00:07:54cats 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 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
00:08:50where everything was sucked from me everything 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
00:09:04and 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
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
00:09:33and only to him
00:09:35i am a cat
00:09:36i keep my own counsel
00:09:41enter then
00:09:43proud 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 a 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
00:10:45i catch my 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
00:11:15cats 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
00:11:39than 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
00:11:55amongst them
00:11:56inspired by a dream
00:11:58he told them
00:11:59dreams
00:12:00dreams 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
00:12:21shape
00:12:22the world
00:12:26words spread amongst the humans
00:12:29but for a while
00:12:30nothing 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 changed
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
00:12:57made 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

00:13:44of what he had shown me
00:13:47i left that night
00:13:48to spread the good news
00:13:49and now i travel
00:13:51from place to place
00:13:53i have preached
00:13:55to feral cats
00:13:56in empty places
00:13:57shouting my message
00:13:58to the stars

00:14:20and 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
00:14:36and dream

00:15:55isn't that cute
00:15:57it is
00:15:58it's really cute
00:16:11you can't force a character
00:16:13to do something
00:16:14just because it's easier
00:16:15for you as a writer
00:16:18character has to come first
00:16:22everything else follows
00:16:25every plot twist
00:16:27every line of dialogue
00:16:31every
00:16:33fraught
00:16:33meaningful silence

00:21:28edward the fourth survived the effects of a poison wound
00:21:32due solely to the possession of a berzua
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 27 visiting mount helicon
00:21:59researching 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
00:22:16sorcerer's garlic
00:22:18and certain lost rituals
00:22:21the hardest part
00:22:23was getting her back to england
00:22:51there she is
00:22:55what would you with me now erasmus
00:22:58am i to perform for your amusement
00:23:02is this man to be our audience
00:23:04this is richard madoc
00:23:07he's a novelist
00:23:10or at least he's written one extremely successful first novel
00:23:13but now he finds himself
00:23:15quite unable to write anything else
00:23:17richard this is calliope
00:23:20the youngest of the nine sisters

00:23:23so she ought to be good enough for you
00:23:27calliope i'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
00:23:36put 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
00:23:45when it came to keeping his word
00:23:50what you promised
00:23:51writers are liars my dear

00:24:03she can't run away
00:24:05she'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
00:24:14pouty and green 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
00:24:24of course you can dear boy

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.
00:31:58I am begging you.
00:32:03Ask me again.
00:32:05When I am free.
00:32:42You better be fucking writing.
00:32:45I would be if you weren't calling to harass me.
00:32:47Your publisher's just called to harass me.
00:32:51They want the book now.
00:32:53I just need a couple of weeks.
00:32:56Ricky.
00:32:57It's nine months overdue.
00:32:59You're technically in breach.
00:33:01I don't know what they want me to do, Larry.
00:33:03These things take time.
00:33:04Ricky.
00:33:05You've had time.
00:33:06You've taken your time.
00:33:07You've also taken their money.
00:33:10I know.
00:33:12You have to give them something.
00:33:15Anything.
00:33:16A chapter.
00:33:17Or they're going to cancel the deal and demand the advance back.
00:33:20And there won't be 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.
00:33:42to inspire men like us.
00:33:46Dr. Hedrich.
00:33:48Say something.
00:33:50So I know you understand.
00:33:51I understand.
00:33:55I'll send you something.
00:34:17Can I pick?
00:34:57Gracious ladies, mother of the Kamen, hear my prayer. It is I, your daughter, Calliope, that calls you to deliver
00:35:10me from this place. Ladies of meditation, remembrance, and song, hearken to me.
00:35:20All right. Enough beautiful voice.
00:35:31We feel your pain, daughter, but we cannot help you.
00:35:33You were snared upon Helicon according to the mysteries. You are lawfully bound.
00:35:39But it is not just my mothers. Is there nothing you can do? No one who can intercede on my
00:35:46behalf?
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. Only 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. After all, the Dream King and Calliope were close at one point.
00:36:17Not for long. And remember, Sister Self, they did not part on the best of terms.
00:36:23Still, she did bear his cup. That boy child who went to Hades for his lady love and died in
00:36:32Thrace, torn apart for his sacrilege.
00:36:36He had a beautiful voice, too. Orpheus.
00:36:40Dream King will never help me. Not after what I did to him.
00:36:46He hates me for that. And I despise him. I would not accept his help.
00:36:52Foolish child. O'Nerys is in no position to help you, even if you wished it. Which is unlikely.
00:37:00Like you, your former husband has been ensnared by mortals. He is immured beneath the ground.
00:37:06Leaving this realm gripped by a sleeping sickness. And a plague of dreams and nightmares wreaking havoc.
00:37:12I am sorry, little one.
00:37:16No.
00:37:17Your prayers were wasted. There'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 hunts.
00:37:43Every major studio wants a piece of it.
00:37:46Film, broadcast, streaming.
00:37:48Er, 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 that his new book has transcended genre.
00:38:08Have you read it?
00:38:10No.
00:38:11Of course not.
00:38:12Well, I have.
00:38:14And it reads like I've 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?
00:38:40I 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, er, I do tend to regard myself as a feminist writer.
00:39:05Hmm.
00:39:07And where does that voice come from in you?
00:39:10The female voice.
00:39:15From 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, so we shouldn't have any trouble getting you into the country.
00:39:53And, er, who knows?
00:39:56Maybe we'll decide to stay in L.A.
00:40:01Can you not allow yourself to enjoy our success?
00:40:10Even for a second, we are telling stories that move and inspire people.
00:40:20Well, isn'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 that cast and crew will be made up of at least
00:40:4350% women and people of colour.
00:40:46And then we need to publicise it so they can't back out of it when it comes to hiring people.
00:41:01Well, were you fucking kidding me?
00:41:14No.
00:41:16No.
00:41:18I am making so much money.
00:41:23I don't care.
00:42:05I call to you, Omiros, 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.
00:42:55You're mine.
00:42:59By law.
00:43:02The god of dreams can't save you.
00:43:03The god of dreams can't save you.
00:43:04The god of dreams can't save you.
00:43:09The god of dreams can't save you.
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?
00:43:59I didn't know him.
00:44:01I, uh...
00:44:02We met on a couple of occasions.
00:44:03He was very kind about my work.
00:44:08He must have been almost 90.
00:44:09Did he, um...
00:44:11Did 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.
00:44:26I 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.
00:44:36It was very moving, honest and...
00:44:41Strange.
00:44:45Poor old sod.
00:44:47It's a shame people stopped reading him.
00:44:49That his work fell out of fashion.
00:44:52Not that you'll have to worry about that.
00:44:54You're Richard Maddock.
00:44:56Oh, sorry.
00:44:56Rick Maddock.
00:44:58Right.
00:45:00Next question.
00:45:09You came.
00:45:15You called.
00:45:19They 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.
00:45:43I know that you cannot free me.
00:45:47Only he can do that, but...
00:45:50Perhaps you might...
00:45:52Inspire him?
00:45:54To let me go?
00:45:56I will do all that.
00:45:59And more.
00:46:01Dream.
00:46:02He...
00:46:03He...
00:46:03Must...
00:46:03Be punished.
00:46:05How?
00:46:06What...
00:46:07Punishment...
00:46:08Could 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.
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 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 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 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!
00:49:19I have done nothing to you, Richard Maddock.
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.
00:50:04Flicking.
00:50:07Fading.
00:50:10In the night.
00:50:26Any questions?
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.
00:51:03Set at...
00:51:06A book reading.
00:51:09There.
00:51:11Something had happened to the world outside.
00:51:14A holocaust.
00:51:16Of 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, 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.
00:52:15Who transforms into a wolf at full moon.
00:52:19A man who inherits a library card to the Library of Alexandria.
00:52:25Two old women taking a weasel on holiday.
00:52:35A system of silence, using the words, dark.
00:52:41Ragged.
00:52:42Never.
00:52:44Screaming.
00:52:45Fire.
00:52:46Kiss.
00:52:48It's an 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.
00:53:14No, please. Go 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, that I free her.
00:53:27I don't understand.
00:53:29Take my keys, let her out.
00:53:31Make her leave. Make 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 then...
00:53:59Shark's teeth soup, a nightingale, a rosebush,
00:54:02and, uh, uh, black rubber dog collar.
00:54:21Hello?
00:54:23Hello?
00:54:25Hello?
00:54:28We'll be here.
00:54:28tubersegic sentir, a mask...
00:54:32...
00:54:40called down the home program and try to tap,
00:54:41as you can see,
00:54:41to fire the sign,
00:54:43to fire the fence
00:54:44and catheter
00:54:47then what just happened to me?
00:54:59It is 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 never happens to anyone else ever again.
00:55:30How?
00:55:32I do not know.
00:55:35By inspiring humanity to want better for themselves and each other.
00:55:41By rewriting the laws by which I was held.
00:55:44Laws that were written long ago and 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 without 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 much in recent times and...
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.
00:57:13I'm back, Mr. Maddox.
00:57:16How are you feeling?
00:57:17I...
00:57:20I don't know anymore.
00:57:22I...
00:57:23keep trying to think.
00:57:26I did what you asked.
00:57:27I went to your place.
00:57:30There 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...
00:57:45Oh, I wish I could remember.
00:57:47It'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?
00:58:15Who are you talking about?
00:58:22I have no...
00:58:26idea.
00:58:32No idea.
00:58:39May I visit you in the Dream Realm sometime?
00:58:44So that we may finally talk about our son.
00:58:51And...
00:58:51Grieve him properly.
00:58:55One day, perhaps, but...
00:59:01I understand.
00:59:18Thank you, Moneros.
00:59:22I will not forget this.
00:59:26Fare you well.
