:28:00
- What's that to do with it?
- There was a girl.

:28:03
A dark-skinned girl who used
to sing for you, remember?

:28:08
- Yeah, I remember.
- Yeah.

:28:11
- A girl from Egypt.
- That's right.

:28:14
We brought her back with us
after a winter expedition.

:28:18
- Yasmin.
- Yasmin.

:28:21
Skin like honey.
:28:23
She used to tell one story
we especially loved.

:28:27
- The story of the bell.
- Right, the Mother of Voices.

:28:30
- I remember.
- The great golden bell.

:28:33
Cast long ago by the monks of Byzantium.
A treasure lost for centuries.

:28:38
The richest prize in all the world,
Father.

:28:42
- That's why I've returned for a new ship.
- What?!

:28:47
I've found the bell.
:28:51
- You found it?
- Yes, Father.

:28:54
- I don't believe you.
- I found it.

:28:56
Nothing else would've brought me back
after losing my ship.

:29:00
- You're lying!
- I'm not!

:29:02
The girl was just repeating
some old legend.

:29:05
I tell you I've found it.
I've heard it. I've seen it.

:29:10
- You've seen it?
- Yes.

:29:12
Where?
:29:15
- What?
- Where have you seen it?

:29:18
Many leagues to the south.
In Moorish Barbary.

:29:22
You see, we'd been running
before a storm when we ran into fog.

:29:27
And then through the mist,
we heard it.

:29:30
Booming away like a god's hammer
on a mountain of ice.

:29:35
- The bell of Byzantium.
- How did you know it was the bell?

:29:39
- How could you be sure?
- It had to be. It could be nothing else.

:29:44
- I don't believe you.
- Wait.

:29:46
- He might be telling the truth.
- No, he's a liar!

:29:49
Always has been a liar,
always will be a liar!

:29:52
That's the way it goes.
The truth, nobody ever believes me.

:29:56
But this time, Father...
:29:59
...I think you'll have to believe me.
- Why?
