:04:01
After a long voyage,
it is good to stretch one's legs.

:04:04
The only good thing about this port
is the Inn of Abu Jamil the Squint...

:04:08
who, for six months, I have been
dreaming of his roasted sheep's eyes.

:04:13
- And I the eyes of his daughter.
- You dreamt of more than her eyes.

:04:28
- Oh, Captain, my mouth is dry.
- And mine.

:04:31
- Let's sample the wines of Charak.
- My thirst is that of a thousand men.

:04:36
Stop and drink, and I promise you will
go no further. Remember the last time?

:04:41
You were stripped
of all your possessions.

:04:43
Because of that, I added
four more eunuchs to the population.

:04:47
Allah be with you.
:04:49
All the paradise I seek is here.
Who wants anything more?

:04:53
I shall stay behind.
:05:01
All silent... no sound, no lights.
A city of ghosts.

:05:05
- Why is the gate closed?
- Curfew is not until midnight.

:05:10
No sentries about.
:05:19
Ho, there, captain of the watch.
Open the gate.

:05:24
- Captain!
- Wake, wake, wake, wake.

:05:26
It's Sinbad,
friend of the caliph Kassim.

:05:29
And a better friend
to Princess Farah.

:05:33
Captain Sinbad.
:05:37
- You know me?
- I am a merchant.

:05:39
I hope to purchase some of the cargo
you will unload tomorrow.

:05:44
No one is to be admitted to Charak
after sunset.

:05:47
- But why?
- The plague. Many have died.

:05:51
Every time we reach this port,
some misfortune strikes us. The plague.

:05:55
The caliph Kassim
and his sister, Princess Farah?

:05:58
They are well, but Kassim
is not the caliph... not as yet.
