:18:00
- They can do nothing.
- Come, sit down.
:18:10
Sinbad, you have traveled
to many foreign lands. Help us.
:18:14
- Perhaps there is someone somewhere.
- Truly, my lord...
:18:18
I will do all in my power
to help...
:18:20
but what has happened to Kassim
requires skills far greater than mine.
:18:24
It needs an understanding
of the black arts...
:18:26
a great alchemist, a magician.
:18:32
Wait. Yes, I have heard of such a man
if he still lives.
:18:36
- Who?
- Where can he be found?
:18:38
A Greek. Some say
the wisest man in the world.
:18:41
His name is...
Hassan, you remember.
:18:45
Melanthius.
That's it, the hermit of...
:18:49
- Maroof.
- Casgar.
:18:51
Yes, a remote haunted island
off the coast of Phyrgia.
:18:54
- Have you been there?
- No. Nor have I met anyone who has.
:18:57
His deeds are legendary,
but he may not even exist.
:19:00
The island is ringed
with deadly reefs.
:19:03
- You must take us to him.
- It would be a dangerous voyage.
:19:06
- I will risk it.
- No, my child, I cannot allow you to go.
:19:11
Unless Prince Kassim is crowned
before the passing of seven moons...
:19:17
he will lose forever
his right to be caliph.
:19:21
- Melanthius is our only hope.
- Some say he's mad.
:19:25
And that the island savages eat
human flesh and worship him as a god.
:19:29
I will send treasure.
:19:31
Gold and precious jewels for you,
your crew and Melanthius...
:19:36
if only he can restore my nephew.
:19:40
Should I undertake this voyage,
it would not be for gold or jewels...
:19:44
but for a treasure
far more precious.
:19:53
Oh, my beloved son.
:19:56
May Allah preserve you.
