1:22:00
...it was always I who remained.
1:22:04
It was then that the guards saw
that the Baraka was with me.

1:22:08
They arranged my escape.
1:22:10
I thanked them for the years of wisdom
they had given me.

1:22:14
And I wandered into the mountains.
1:22:17
- Are you asleep?
- No, did I look like it?

1:22:20
No, but you made no noise, and others
have fallen asleep while I speak.

1:22:23
The wandering, Raisuli.
1:22:27
Yeah. I wandered into the mountains.
1:22:31
I wished only to hear the voices
of women...

1:22:34
...babbling about common things.
1:22:36
You permit me to say, the conversation
of women does not interest me much.

1:22:41
But when one is in prison...
1:22:43
...one is inclined to have
a different sense of disposition.

1:22:50
The Rifians found me.
1:22:52
I learned to read and to speak again.
1:22:56
The women aided me in this
because of my lineage...

1:22:59
...but the men...
1:23:01
...they wanted to sell my head to the
old sultan at Fez for rifles and gold.

1:23:05
There was but one thing to do,
challenge Abdel Malak the Cruel.

1:23:09
We fought with swords on horseback.
1:23:12
And the Baraka was with me.
1:23:14
I cut off his arm.
1:23:17
And he wounded me...
1:23:20
...many times.
1:23:24
The tribesmen judged him,
and every voice was against him.

1:23:29
And his eyes, which had witnessed
much injustice...

1:23:34
...were burned out
with heated copper coins.

1:23:38
And today he wanders the land
a blind beggar.

1:23:44
Thus I became the true defender
of the faithful...

1:23:48
...for the blood of the prophet runs in me,
and I am but an instrument of his will.
