You must not make this journey,
my lord.

:07:12
I must.
:07:15
We are not sailors.
The ocean is not like the desert.

:07:19
It was not meant to be crossed by us.
:07:24
I have searched from the mountains
to the sea.

:07:27
Now I must know
what lies beyond the horizon.

:07:31
Understand?
That is what I must do.

:07:35
- Then take me with you.
- Your duties are here.

:07:39
My duties are with my husband.
:07:41
I can no longer sit and wish away
the days as the other women do...

:07:46
...while you chase a legend,
a fairy tale...

:07:49
...that has already cost us dearly
in lives and gold.

:07:57
I am your wife, my lord.
:07:59
Without your affection,
I wither and die.

:08:03
How long am I to be
denied your attentions?

:08:06
How long must I endure
your abstinence from pleasure?

:08:11
Until Allah's divine guidance leads me
to the treasures of Islam.

:08:18
That bell is made of pure gold.
:08:20
Stolen by the Christian armies when they
plundered their way across our cities...

:08:26
...to the dishonour and humiliation...
:08:30
...of our ancestors.
:08:33
It was no fairy tale.
:08:36
Then neither is your appetite
for power.

:08:40
Do not say that again, Aminah.
:08:44
The bell does exist.
:08:46
Somewhere in this world,
it rests in a Christian land.

:08:51
So do the pyramids.
And the Gardens of Babylon exist.

:08:55
Where will you stop,
my husband?

:08:58
When I have found it.
