00:01:36.
00:01:36.
00:01:36.
00:01:36.
00:01:36Little 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.
00:02:19Hello. 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?
00:03:20SISTERS, BROTHERS, GOOD HUNTING.
00:03:24Some of you have traveled far to hear my message today, left your warm, comfortable places,
00:03:30and 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, and, like you, I fooled myself.
00:03:53Oh, they fed me and gave me comfort. They served me.
00:03:58All they asked in return was my affection. No price at all, really.
00:04:27He was strong and fast. His claws and teeth were sharp as winter. He was my choice of lover. I
00:04:38never saw him again, but I did not forget him.
00:04:43I didn't remember my own mother, but I vowed I would be different. I would teach them how to wash,
00:04:50how to stalk silently, how to hunt.
00:04:53You knew she was in heat. Why didn't you keep her inside?
00:04:58I think they're kind of cute. Cute? She's a purebred registered blue point. These are half-breeds. They're not worth
00:05:06anything.
00:05:16What are you gonna do with them? Don't worry. I'll take care of it.
00:05:48What's this?
00:05:50them from 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
00:06:13for god's sake it's not as if she understands
00:06:18I mean look at her she's probably relieved who'd want four screaming brats around you're probably
00:06:26right I just feel guilty I 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 and so I prayed I prayed to the
00:06:44darkness to the night I prayed to the king of cats he who walks amongst us and we do not
00:06:51know him
00:06:53and 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 justice is a
00:07:27delusion and wisdom has no place here either but revelation that is the province of dream if your
00:07:36heart is strong and you are not afraid I am afraid of nothing in the mountain there is a cave
00:07:43you'll find
00:07:44him there but the way is hard a little cat could come to much harm if she strays from the
00:07:54path cats 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
00:08:19but 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 everything that makes me what I
00:08:54am
00:08:54and even when I no longer knew why I 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 mouth full 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 and only to him
00:09:35I am a cat
00:09:37I keep my own counsel
00:09:41enter then
00:09:43proud cat
00:09:45but be warned
00:09:47dreams have a price
00:09:54and I walked on
00:09:56and I walked on
00:10:15I am here
00:10:17and who are you
00:10:21a cat
00:10:22a walker in the night places
00:10:25a dead crow sent me here
00:10:26for revelation
00:10:28I want to know
00:10:31why 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
00:10:46my look at a king
00:10:46or so they say
00:10:48look into my eyes
00:10:49then little sister
00:10:50look into my eyes
00:11:02and in his eyes
00:11:04and in his eyes
00:11:04I saw everything
00:11:05I saw the truth
00:11:07our truth
00:11:09and it transcended anything I had imagined
00:11:13many many seasons ago
00:11:15cats truly ruled this world
00:11:19we were larger than
00:11:21everything made for us
00:11:23humans were tiny creatures
00:11:26no larger than we are now
00:11:28they would groom us feed us
00:11:32when the moon shone full
00:11:34we 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 I saw in his eyes
00:11:46the game
00:11:47of cat and man
00:11:51and then
00:11:53one of the humans rose amongst them
00:11:56inspired by a dream he told them
00:12:00dreams shape the world
00:12:02dreams create the world anew every night
00:12:06do not dream the world the way it is now
00:12:09dream 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
00:12:20dreams shape the world
00:12:26word spread amongst the humans
00:12:29but for a while nothing happened
00:12:34but then one night
00:12:36enough of them dreamed
00:12:38it wasn't many a thousand perhaps
00:12:40no more
00:12:41they 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
00:12:53and 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 so it was always the way it is now
00:13:04there was never a world where cats were in
00:13:06they changed it from beginning of all things to the end of time
00:13:10it was ever
00:13:11it 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
00:13:24yes
00:13:24i i hope so
00:13:28then wait child
00:13:30with my blessing
00:13:41you see
00:13:41you see i 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 shouting my message to the stars
00:14:00i have whispered it to cats in alleyways
00:14:03and wherever i have gone my message is the same
00:14:08dream it
00:14:10if enough of us dream a bare thousand we can dream a world where no cat suffers
00:14:16where no kittens die cold and alone
00:14:19where all cats are queens and kings of creation
00:14:22that is my message
00:14:28and i shall keep moving repeating it until i die
00:14:32or until a thousand cats hear my words
00:14:35and believe them and dream
00:14:41and we come again
00:14:43to paradise
00:14:54mistress
00:14:58i believe
00:15:00then there is hope child
00:15:06that's what i'm going to do
00:15:15well she was amusing at least
00:15:18i'll say that for her
00:15:19do you think it will happen
00:15:22like 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
00:15:46i think she's dreaming
00:15:48i wonder what cats dream about
00:15:51the way she's twitching she's probably hunting something
00:15:54oh look at her
00:15:56isn't that cute
00:15:57it is it is it's really cute
00:16:11you can't force a character to do something just because it's easier
00:16:16for you as a writer
00:16:17the character
00:16:19the character has to come first
00:16:22everything else follows
00:16:24every
00:16:26plot twist every line of dialogue
00:16:31every
00:16:33fraught meaningful silence
00:16:37any questions
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 and finding it difficult to
00:16:48do you not hate every single thing i write
00:16:54i am sad to report that i've been doing this for a very long time and
00:17:02it doesn't get any easier
00:17:05but try not to be discouraged when it is difficult
00:17:09my debut novel was rejected by seven publishers before it became a bestseller
00:17:17so
00:17:18right
00:17:19that's it for today
00:17:21oh don't forget the assignment the same event told from two characters very different
00:17:26points of view
00:17:35did you get it took some doing but
00:17:40yeah
00:17:45it's um
00:17:48it's perfect thank you
00:17:51you'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 it's handy to know a soon-to-be doctor
00:18:02i actually wanted to be a writer but my parents insisted i have something to fall back on
00:18:08i still write when i have time your parents are very wise
00:18:15you're better off
00:18:17i promise
00:18:21uh so what do i owe you
00:18:23i think
00:18:24i think
00:18:25stop norah
00:18:26honestly it probably would have been incinerated anyway
00:18:29um just don't tell anyone where you got it
00:18:32i won't
00:18:34and um if you wouldn't mind
00:18:40would you sign this for me
00:18:44of course
00:18:49any idea when the new book is coming out
00:18:54uh no but you will definitely be in the acknowledgements
00:18:59is it a sequel
00:19:01or something new
00:19:04or something new
00:19:04that would be telling
00:19:05It's a good thing.
00:19:35Who is it?
00:19:37Richard Maddox, to see Erasmus Fry.
00:19:41Bobby, scream 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. Nothing 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.
00:20:40Yeah.
00:20:57Oh, well done, dear boy.
00:21:00Oh, a genuine Trikino Berzua.
00:21:06Do 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.
00:21:21Bezovors for once believed to possess mystic powers.
00:21:25They can remedy poison, make the sick well.
00:21:29Edward IV survived the effects of a poisoned wound due solely to the possession of a Bezov.
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.
00:22:21The hardest part was getting her back to England.
00:22:51Yes, 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?
00:23:05Yuck!
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.
00:23:36Put 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.
00:24:18And neither will you, I 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.
00:24:55She's thousands of years old. She was created for this. This is her purpose.
00:25:00To inspire men like us. After all, she gave me fame, glory, novels, poems, plays.
00:25:12You'll see me.
00:25:14If that's true, why would you?
00:25:16My time is past.
00:25:18All my best work is out of print.
00:25:21Even muse inspired.
00:25:24Nobody 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.
00:26:40What is there to think about?
00:26:45I am a goddess.
00:26:47A daughter of Zeus.
00:26:50I am not a possession.
00:26:52To be kept and used and traded.
00:26:58You must set me free.
00:27:00You have only to say the words.
00:27:02I will, I promise.
00:27:05But, um...
00:27:09Do you think you could help me?
00:27:13First?
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.
00:28:21In a book I have a favorite.
00:28:23People are very excited.
00:28:24The main idea is not all the colors...
00:28:29I cannot be I am so tired.
00:28:29And I am so tired of the parameters.
00:28:30I do not feel tired of this.
00:28:31I am so tired of everything that comes to big.
00:28:36I am so tired of this.
00:29:36On the border, right on the line, being neither in one place or another, and saw how in
00:29:44this grave area, when nothing was quite clear, no one could be clear.
00:29:52They can't articulate, fuddle our words.
00:29:57They couldn't pinpoint exactly what it was he did that we felt was so wrong.
00:30:00So, yeah, Borky is crazy.
00:30:16You seek to woo me with presents?
00:30:22Is this not how it's done?
00:30:24I think you know how it is done.
00:30:29An artist prays to the muses.
00:30:34He 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 to do.
00:30:47I 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
00:31:29words, that 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.
00:31:55Please.
00:31:58I am begging you.
00:32:02Ask me again when I am free.
00:32:15Here we go.
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.
00:32:54I just need a couple of weeks.
00:32:56Ricky, 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. These things take time.
00:33:04Ricky, you've had time. You've taken your time.
00:33:07You've also taken their money.
00:33:11I know.
00:33:12Now, you have to give them something.
00:33:15Anything, a chapter.
00:33:17Well, they're going to cancel the deal and demand the advance back.
00:33:20But 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. She's not human.
00:33:34She's thousands of years old.
00:33:36She was created for this.
00:33:38This is her purpose.
00:33:40To inspire men like us.
00:33:48Say something, so I know you understand.
00:33:51I understand.
00:33:55I'll send you something.
00:34:03I'll send you something.
00:34:17I'll send you something.
00:34:18Pretty cool.
00:34:29Oh, my God.
00:34:57Gracious ladies, mother of the Kamen, hear my prayer.
00:35:03It is I, your daughter, Calliope, that calls you to deliver me from this place.
00:35:12Ladies of meditation, remembrance, and song.
00:35:19I can't do me.
00:35:20All right. Enough beautiful voice.
00:35:31We feel your pain, daughter, but we cannot help you.
00:35:34You were snared upon Helicon according to the mysteries.
00:35:36You are lawfully bound.
00:35:39But it is not just my mothers.
00:35:41Is 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 or able to meddle in mortal affairs in these
00:35:52days, Calliope.
00:35:53Many gods have died, my daughter.
00:35:55Only 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.
00:36:11There's a thought.
00:36:13After all, the Dream King and Calliope were close at one point.
00:36:17Not for long.
00:36:18And remember, Sister Self, they did not part on the best of terms.
00:36:23Still, she did bear his cup.
00:36:27That boy child who went to Hades for his lady love.
00:36:30And died in Thrace, torn 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, even if you wished it.
00:36:59Which is unlikely.
00:37:00Like you, your 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 here.
00:37:32Night 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.
00:37:45Film, 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, let 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.
00:38:12Well, I 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.
00:38:25Yes.
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 cave.
00:38:32I think it probably speaks to the novel's theme of reinvention.
00:38:35I think it probably speaks to the author's pretension.
00:38:39Where were we?
00:38:41I 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
00:38:56the female experience.
00:38:58But, er...
00:38:59But...
00:39:00I 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.
00:39:17From 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
00:39:52into the country.
00:39:54And, er...
00:39:55Who knows?
00:39:56Maybe we'll decide to stay in L.A.
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 move and inspire people.
00:40:21Isn't that what muses were made for?
00:40:24My sister goddesses and I were born.
00:40:26We were not made.
00:40:27Sorry.
00:40:28It's Larry.
00:40:29Did you talk to the studio?
00:40:37No.
00:40:38I need them to guarantee at the outset that cast and crew will be made up of at least 50
00:40:44%
00:40:44women 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.
00:41:02Where are they moving?
00:41:06Where are they moving?
00:41:12Are you fucking kidding me?
00:41:15No.
00:41:17No.
00:41:18No.
00:41:18No.
00:41:19No.
00:41:19I am making it so fucking fun.
00:41:22Why are they?
00:41:23I've no care.
00:41:25No.
00:41:25I'm not very caring for them.
00:41:30What do you want to get in the room?
00:41:31No.
00:41:32What do you want to get in the room?
00:42:05I call to you, Oneros, 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.
00:42:56You'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.
00:43:32Well, 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?
00:43:58Well, I didn't know him.
00:44:01I, uh, we met on a couple of occasions.
00:44:03He was very kind about my work.
00:44:07He must have been almost 90.
00:44:09Did he, um, did 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,
00:44:21begging them to bring one of his books back into print.
00:44:25Here comes a candle, I 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.
00:44:35It was very moving, honest, and...
00:44:41strange.
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.
00:44:54You're Richard Maddock.
00:44:55Oh, sorry.
00:44:56Rick Maddock.
00:44:59Right.
00:45:00Next question.
00:45:10You came.
00:45:15You called.
00:45:19They told me you had been in prison, just 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.
00:45:39I'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...
00:45:52inspire him...
00:45:54to let me go.
00:45:56I will do all that...
00:45:58I will do all that...
00:45:59and more.
00:46:01Dream.
00:46:02He...
00:46:02must be punished.
00:46:05How?
00:46:07What punishment...
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 Muddock.
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.
00:48:28And 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?
00:49:17Tell me!
00:49:19I have done nothing to you, Richard Muddock.
00:49:23You have met Morpheus, whom 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.
00:50:01Like fireflies.
00:50:05Flicking.
00:50:07Fading.
00:50:10In the night.
00:50:25Any questions?
00:50:27Any questions?
00:50:29Oh.
00:50:31The young woman in the third row.
00:50:37Your work spans so many genres.
00:50:41So many worlds.
00:50:43So many different kinds of characters.
00:50:45May I just ask?
00:50:46Where does all that come from?
00:50:49For 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 a book reading.
00:51:08There.
00:51:10Something had happened to the world outside.
00:51:14A holocaust of some kind.
00:51:17But the audience was safe.
00:51:21As long as the author kept reading.
00:51:25Or a 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, full of silent women, driven by a blind man.
00:52:07Heads made of light.
00:52:08Sorry.
00:52:12Sorry.
00:52:13A weregoldfish who 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.
00:52:35This is Stina, without silence, using the words dark, ragged, never, screaming, fire, kiss.
00:52:48This is an old man who wrote of the universe and kept it in a jam jar.
00:52:52A man who falls in love with a paper doll.
00:52:54Mr. Maddox, it's Nora.
00:52:56What'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.
00:53:12We need to get him to the hospital.
00:53:14No, 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.
00:53:57A sun setting over the path and a shark's teeth soup, a nightingale, a rosebush, and a black rubber dog
00:54:05collar.
00:54:22Hello?
00:54:32I'll be back at my house.
00:54:32I don't know what you're talking about.
00:54:35I don't know.
00:54:37I don't know.
00:54:42So, I guess I'll be back at my house.
00:54:42I don't know.
00:54:43I can't believe it.
00:54:43I don't know.
00:54:44I don't know.
00:54:45I don't know.
00:54:46I don't know.
00:54:51I don't know.
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
00:55:27never 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
00:55:38and each other.
00:55:41By rewriting the laws by which I was held.
00:55:44Laws that were written long ago
00:55:46and which my sisters and I had no say.
00:55:49I shall do the same in my realm.
00:55:53You have changed, Onyros.
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
00:56:23and no 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?
00:56:45I 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. Maddock.
00:57:16How are you feeling?
00:57:17I...
00:57:20I don't know anymore.
00:57:21I keep 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...
00:57:45I 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.
00:57:56I don't know.
00:57:58I don't know.
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?
00:58:23I have no...
00:58:25idea.
00:58:39May I visit you in the dream realm sometime?
00:58:44So that we may finally talk about our son.
00:58:50and...
00:58:51grieve him properly?
00:58:56One day.
00:58:57Perhaps, but...
00:59:01I understand.
00:59:18Thank you, Moneros.
00:59:21I will not forget this.
00:59:25Fare you well.
