"THE ADVENTURES OF THE BAGHDAD THIEF"
The production thanks the Tunisian government
for the assistance received during filming in that country.
Baghdad In the Fabulous Season of the Arabian Nights...
Listen, people of Baghdad!
The message of your lord and master, Ali Bahaget,
Sultan of Baghdad, Prince of Somerkhan.
We, Ali Bahaget, son of Salim,
do happily proclaim to the people of Baghdad
that this day, the fifth day of the seventh moon, of the fiftieth year of our kingdom
will be blessed.
And it will be remembered as one day of great joy.
You can continue.
Yes, of course. The prince is a powerful man.
It will be an honor to receive this night a great ruler of a distant land.
The wise and powerful Prince Osmar.
Who comes to Baghdad to ask for the hand of our Princess Amina.
We order that the prestigious guest receive the treatment he deserves, from all the people,
according to the greatness of your position.
This is Karim's doing.
Without a doubt. No one else would have had the courage.
Where's my bag? I've been robbed! Someone took my bag!
Don't just stand there! Do something!
Yes! Arrest him! Arrest him!
Arrest the thief!
Oh, magnificent! Let this humble servant
join your joy on that glorious day.
Thank you. Why is today so glorious?
Master of Baghdad, allow me to join the others and congratulate you on this happy occasion.
- What are they talking about? - Magnificent, it's about your daughter.
My daughter? Did something happen to her?
Don't you remember, Your Highness? Is today.
Osmar! The great prince Osmar.
Oh, yes! Of course! A powerful man, the prince!
Then he will be received as he deserves to be.
It won't be the first time the city has been attacked by enemies.
Are you sure that each of you will fulfill your duty until death.
But, Your Excellency, you are not remembering...
The prince is coming to Baghdad as a friend, no as an invader.
Not as an invader... yes...
Yeah, of course you're not coming as an invader, you idiot!
Yes, indeed it is a day of rejoicing in the city of...
...Baghdad. A day we will long remember as being...
overjoyed.
Amina! Amina!
You kill me! You shouldn't be spying, your father will punish you!
My father once punished me when he gave me a boring housekeeper like you.
Please be nice. Let me stay a little longer.
Trust me, Prince Osmar is young and very handsome and strong.
- I hope so. - It is true.
How do you know? Nobody in Baghdad has ever seen him.
His Excellency, Prince Osmar, is arriving at the gates of the palace.
Magnificent, I'm afraid the thief got away.
It is not possible. So you let him get away once more?
But sir, he's not just a thief!
He looks like a ghost.
How can we arrest him when we don't even know what he looks like?
- Listen, Abdul. - Yes.
- I want his head. - Yes.
Otherwise, I'll have yours.
What are you doing here?
Please, let us stay. We want to see Prince Osmar.
- No! - Please.
The Sultan of Baghdad welcomes you, Prince Osmar.
The Sultan of Baghdad welcomes you, Prince Osmar.
Welcome Prince...
- Osmar. - Prince Osmar. Yes!
Oh! Gracious Lord, the greatest of all sultans.
Now that you have seen him, go, quickly.
Yes, of course.
Your father will punish you. Come, my little one!
Yes, yes. Just a moment.
Hurry up, hurry up, move it! Come on, come on. Hurry up!
Accept this gem, praiseworthy sir.
The most precious one I could find in my treasure.
Its brilliance is only matched by your courage.
And your generosity.
It's beautiful.
Great Vizier, the desert winds have brought to my country
the news of your wisdom.
Please, accept this gift as a token of my appreciation.
Thank you.
My diamonds! Where are my diamonds?
Where are they?
I had them just a minute ago!
- My pearls! My pearls! - My gold!
- What's going on? - My necklace! My emeralds!
I've been robbed! This is terrible! I lost a fortune! A fortune!
Majesty...
The ring, Your Majesty. The prophet's ring!
- What is it? - The prophet's ring!
The symbol of your power!
What is he talking about?
Where is this Prince Osmar?
Abdul!
- Where is this Prince Osmar? - Prince Osmar? I do not know.
I don't know.
Are you dogs?
So, this is the reception you give princes in Baghdad?
- This man is Prince Osmar. - Yes, I am!
Is this how you protect the palace, you fool?
- I tried. - Close all doors!
Close door number 2 and number 3!
Idiots! Untie him! Sound the alarm!
Lock all exits! This time he won't get away!
No, not up there.
That way.
You two go that way!
They're saying Karim was the thief. He even stole the prophet's ring.
He's crazy to come here!
I hope that when they get caught, he'll be tied up and thrown into the hot oil.
- Do you think he's still in the palace? - It would be wonderful if he came to our rooms.
If he dares to come to my room, I will know what to do.
How can you say that? You would be as scared of him as we are.
Not me.
Karim is a man just like all the others.
Remember your old nurse's advice.
When dealing with men, have a firm hand.
No, Ayessa. If Prince Osmar wants me, I'll only have one thought, to please him.
Did you hear that? She is already in love.
I've loved him since I first saw him.
But who knows. He might not like me when he sees me.
Don't be silly.
If you smile at him once, he will love you for the rest of his life.
- Good night. - Good night. Good night.
Good evening, sweet Amina.
- Allah will look after you. - Good night, Ayessa.
Prince Osmar, no man is aloud in my rooms.
I know, Amina. But I couldn't wait any longer to see you.
And if you love me, like you just said, you'll forgive me.
My words were not to be heard by you, Prince Osmar.
You must forget them.
I'll never forget them, Amina.
Before I go, may I see your face?
The groom must not see the bride's face before the wedding day.
You're beautiful, Amina.
Keep this to remember me by.
But...
But, this is my father's ring.
The prophet's ring.
Go ahead!
This way, men! Princess!
We must search your quarters!
- How dare you coming to my rooms? - Forgive me, Princess Amina.
But a thief is loose in the palace and we have orders to search everywhere.
- There's someone there. - No! There's no one there!
- He is not here. - Excuse me, princess.
Allah go with you. Forgive me, princess. Forgive me.
- I think it's gold. - It's very light.
I think I should dye it darker.
Go, dye it again. Go!
All right, expert. Come here and tell me when to stop.
Next, please.
Ahmud, the mason.
If he doesn't pay the owners five gold coins by tomorrow,
his daughter will be sold into slavery. Ah yes!
There we are!
Allah bless you, Karim. May you have a hundred sons.
Thank you, friend.
Thank you.
Amed, the dyer, had his tenth child in less than ten years.
Twenty silver coins are enough for him for now, I think.
- Ahmed! - 6,7,8,9, here.
Therefore, will last a long time.
Thanks.
I will take this. Otherwise, tomorrow we'll be broke, wastrel.
We go home! Let's go!
Well that's it for today!
Nothing else.
What would those people have done without your help, Karim?
Someone else would have helped.
Farid.
Buy yourself some food. Otherwise you won't grow up.
Thank you, Karim.
Good morning.
What can I do for you?
You've already done a lot.
You are the only one in Baghdad who strives to help the poor.
That's pretty unusual for a thief, isn't it, Karim?
Stealing is the only trade.
Unless you have something to suggest.
Well... it depends.
Would you like the Sultan's job?
A Sultan among thieves.
By the way, what were you doing in the palace yesterday?
You will know that in good time.
Life is a long road.
And only Allah knows the way, my boy.
Good luck, Karim.
Wait! Wait a minute!
Great Sultan of Baghdad, whose virtues shine brighter than the sun.
I, Osmar of Mosul, terror of my enemies, I assure you...
that the union of our two houses shall make us invincible.
Well, that is my dearest wish, Prince Osmar.
Amina, my sweet daughter.
I've chosen your fiance.
Prince Osmar.
You will love him and obey him.
As you know, he will be your lord and master.
Soon, Baghdad will have a new sovereign.
The noble Prince Osmar.
I have decided that he will take my place when he marries my daughter.
I have chosen you as my bride and queen.
And I will make Baghdad the most powerful city in the world.
Together, our forces will conquer the world.
And now, low your veil, I want to look upon you.
As is my right.
Prince Osmar is to be your husband. You can show your face to him.
You must to overcome your timidity, my dear.
So, let my hand take off your veil.
The same hand that will take up arms to defend you and your kingdom.
I don't believe in the strength of your sword, Prince Osmar.
You can't hardly defend my kingdom if you can't defend yourself against a thief.
- This could result in war! - Forgive her, she's only a child.
A child to whom I wish only happiness.
Prince, you were once young and valorous.
- She'll fall in love with you and then... - I can't accept that!
Wonderful! I'm delighted you agree with me.
Let's set your wedding date...
when my daughter falls in love with you.
My lord, you have the courage of a lion, but here you will need the cunning of the fox.
- Where do you want to go? - Prince, I've known Amina since she was born.
- If you take my advice... - Advice?
With an army of 20,000 men I have no need of your advice.
You won't have to use your men, my lord..
If you do as I say, you will have Baghdad and the princess without having to fight.
And then you will remember his humble servant in the days of your greatness.
Your humble servant.
Princess.
You tricked my guards, thief. But I can see you.
Princess, I had to come.
Why?
One day, Allah decided to punish a man for his sins.
He put him to sleep and woke him up in paradise.
But after a short while, he sent him back to Earth.
And from that day on, even the most beautiful things on Earth,
seemed ugly and meaningless.
That's what happened to me, Princess.
Since I looked into your eyes last night.
No! My father has already chosen me a fiance.
Don't try to see me again. It's dangerous.
Karim,
even if I did love you,
- we could never see each other. - I'll find a way.
I will do something that will make me worthy of you.
I promise.
Yesterday, I gave you a ring that didn't belong to me.
I know. I gave it back to my father.
Please, take this.
I also stole this.
Amina!
But there's something that I didn't steal.
It was my mother's.
I love you, Princess.
- Amina! - Wait for me.
I'll come back, somehow, worthy of you.
Amina, my child.
Don't be afraid, he'll be safe.
There he is! He's on the roof!
- Karim, what are you doing here? Go away! - That's what I'm trying to do.
You have no time to waste! Get away!
Thanks for the help, but I know what I'm doing.
Go, all of you! Come on, get moving!
But why are they...
What are you waiting for? Move!
- Where are they taking us? - Where they send those who don't pay their taxes.
- To the mills? - Get moving!
Yes.
Close the gates.
Gamal, I've decided to listen to your suggestion.
Then, hear this, great prince.
This contains an infallible potion.
The girl who will drink of it will fall in love with the man who gives it to her.
It's absolutely infallible. Unless, of course...
Out with it!
If the girl is already in love,
She will waste away...
and she will die.
Yes, but since she was born, the princess has not known other man but her father.
How could she have fallen in love with anyone?
No, you will be the first.
This potion will help you realize all your desires of love and power, oh prince.
Hurry up! Open those gates! Come here!
C'mon!
C'mon!
Move!
Get to your post!
You there, come over here!
Pick up those sacks!
Go on!
Get to work!
- Karim, what are you doing here? - I've no idea.
Quiet!
Get to work! Both of you!
Get to work!
I've lost all contact with the outside world.
Then, you don't know about it!
About what?
Princess Sam in a, is very sick.
It's very serious.
- Some people say that she was poisoned. - By whom?
I don't know. Nobody knows.
I must get out of here!
I must! I must!
Well?
It is written that the malady is hopeless.
There is no doubt about it. It's clear that she loves someone else.
That's why she fell ill.
Your magician is to blame.
- Tell me who he is and I'll have him executed! - Oh Prince, that won't be necessary.
I want the magician's name, Gamas!
- If no name... - Yes, yes. I know, but it wasn't his fault.
After all, he told us what might happen, Prince.
Let's go in and listen to what the wise men are saying.
Your Highness, my colleagues and I agree that some principles are at work.
Stop babbling!
You are here to cure my daughter and not to talk nonsense.
You speak and speak...
But you don't say anything.
- What do you want? - You Majesty, there is an old man outside.
I've never seen him before, but...
He says he knows the remedy for your daughter's illness.
Do you want to see him?
Don't you see that the Sultan is busy?
Throw him out!
No, wait! Whoever...
Yes, whoever is capable of helping her...
...may come in.
I will see him.
Well?
Great Sultan, listen to your humble servant.
Only one remedy may save your daughter.
Only a blue rose.
A blue rose? What foolishness is this?
What do you take us for, old man?
Wait a minute.
Haven't I seen you somewhere before?
No, that's impossible, your Excellency.
A blue rose? You must be joking.
Such a thing doesn't exist.
Whoever finds this flower...
and brings it to the princess, he not only will save her,
but he will also become her husband.
You can understand that this is not an ordinary flower.
Did you bring one with you, sir?
No, Your Highness. Another will find it...
and bring it to your daughter.
One who will love her enough to risk everything.
Even his life.
Exalted One,
I only await your signal for the pleasure of throwing out this mad old dog.
This blue rose! Incredible!
Listen, order that tomorrow we will celebrate your daughter's wedding to Prince Osmar...
and the smile of health will return to the lips of the princess.
I'm afraid his man is mistaken.
Miserable fool! How dare you?
I'll have you put in the snake pit.
Here!
It's your belt.
I believe you, venerable sir...
but tell me... How does someone look for the blue rose?
He, that wants to look for this flower...
must be armed with courage, intelligence and love.
And he will have to go through the seven doors.
The seven doors?
The first of the seven doors lies to the east.
It can be seen where it is not.
Gamal!
Proclaim to all the people that whoever finds and brings us this blue rose
will have my permission to marry my daughter
and will become the new Sultan of Baghdad.
End of omorrow at dawn,
whoever wants to search for this flower will be dressed in blue
and brought to the palace, to me.
Well, go!
Look!
Look up on the sky!
Who knows where it will land.
I heard say that they're the souls of the damned on their way to hell.
That's why they all leave a trail of fire.
Now is the time.
Oh, noble guards, you are wrong.
Shooting stars become pearls. That's what happens to them.
Prisoner! Who gave you the right to speak to us?
Don't yell at him, this man is smart.
Yesterday, when I lost my money purse, he found it with some magic words.
Let's listen to his fairy tale, it will help pass the time.
It's not a fairy tale, oh, noble captain.
Sometimes, on nights like this,
the dampness of the air turns shooting stars into pearls.
I wouldn't mind if pearls started falling from the sky like he says.
- I hope to be around when it happens. - I'll let you know.
What would you do if you found some pearls?
Me? If I got my hands on some pearls,
The first thing I would do is buy a young wife and then sell my old one.
For nothing.
Any minute now.
Look!
Look at that!
- Look how close it was! - There's another one.
- I've never seen it so close! - You heard?
- What? - Something fell out.
Could be... Look! What did I tell you?
- Look! He was right! It's true! - Let me see.
A pearl fell from the sky and I found it! I found the pearl!
I found it! It's mine! I found it!
Look! Another pearl fell!
Another pearl fell there. Let's go.
Hurry!
The others will get them all!
Very well, start moving, but be quiet.
The time has come.
Wait for me! Let me see one!
Look carefully, there might be others around!
- I think I heard another one fall! - Where?
- Around here, somewhere. - There could be hundreds!
They're escaping!
Don't let them get away!
Karim?
It's good you came back just in time.
Since you seem to know everything, Why didn't you help me escape?
There are circumstances in which you must take care of yourself.
Anyway.
Karim, you see those men?
They are going to the Sultan wearing blue, just as he ordered.
It was decreed that who goes and returns with the blue rose for the princess,
and that cures her of her infirmity,
he will become her husband and inherit the throne of Baghdad.
A blue rose?
Who could have that kind of fabric?
Great Sultan,
although I'll be in my rights to refuse to join in this ridiculous search.
You promised me your daughter's hand, you know.
However, I am more than willing...
to match with anyone who wants to find this blue rose.
If it exists, I will find it. I assure you.
You are generous, Osmar.
I trust Allah will help you find it.
If He doesn't, you'll regret it.
I intend to rule Baghdad.
- Ali, here you are. I found the textile. - Thank you.
Quick, quick, Ali!
Have it sewn!, quickly!
Move! Move! Don't stand there!
Go to work! Go! Go!
Move!
- There is not enough cloth. - Then make it sufficient.
Don't fall asleep. Hurry up! Karim is ready to try it on, can't you see?
Move! Move!
Hurry or he will be late.
Sew clothes in a few minutes is not possible...
Almighty Sultan,
the strength of arms is the shortest guarantee of the nation's greatness.
If Allah chooses me as your successor,
my armies will be at your disposal.
You all know the prophecy.
He, who will go searching for the blue rose must pass the test of the seven-doors.
The first of the seven doors
is far in the east. It can be seen where it is not.
That, speaks the oracle.
- I'm sure that I've already seen you before. - And I'm sure that it was someone else.
No!, no! I'm sure, right here in the palace, not long ago either.
You were better dressed that day. Wait...
I'm starting to remember. I knew I had seen you before.
Right here in the hallway... The day Prince Osmar came and...
you are the thief!
My daughter's life
is worth more than my kingdom.
Your Sultan has spoken.
May Allah be with you all.
Oh, Most Forgiving Sultan,
forgive my late arrival.
I am the lowest of your subjects. My name is Karim.
Allow me to search for the blue rose.
Karim?
Even the humblest of my subjects is most welcome.
But for what motives, Karim, do you...
...want to search for the rose?
Only one, my lord.
I want Princess Amina to get well. To smile again.
This is the imposter Karim, the thief.
A man who has a price on his head.
A man who dared to present himself to Your Excellency
impersonating Prince Osmar.
Arrest him!
Oh, Wise and Just One, I appeal to your sense of honor.
The proclamation states that any man can participate in the search.
Surely, you don't want the people of Baghdad to say that the Sultan has not kept his word.
That's true! No, I will not!
No, Great Sultan. This man is trying to escape punishment by a dubious argument.
If his argument is valid,
any thief in the city would aspire to the hand of Princess Amina.
Oh, Wise One, what if I was the man Allah has chosen to find the blue rose?
Think well, My lord.
It's your daughter's life.
Release him.
Great Sultan,
I've enough of this! It is an insult to permit this thief to join us!
- You must decide: The thief or me! - Arrest him!
Take him!
Don't let him get away, you fools! Don't let him get away!
- We got him! - Let me go! Let me go!
That's not the thief.
You know, you're right.
- There he is! - Arrest that man over there! He is the thief!
Arrest him!
- Hold him! - Idiots.
Let him go! Let me go!
- Please forgive me, Prince Osmar, please. - You fool...
Please forgive me. Like a servile dog, I beg you.
There he goes!
- What is he doing? - I do not know! Watch out!
This way!
Open the door! Open the door!
Open the door!
Lock the doors! Get that thief!
Catch the thief! Catch the thief!
He will be here soon.
Catch the thief!
Stop that man!
Farid!
Farid!
- Karim, I was looking for you. - You must go to the princess.
Tell her I'm leaving with the others and I'll try to come back with the blue rose.
- But how can I get into the palace? - Use your head, you'll find a way.
All right, Karim. I will go.
Allah has been good to me. Now, do what I say.
- Bye. - Bye, Karim.
I feel we have many dangers ahead of us.
And I hope that at least one of us will be successful.
Why not? Danger is something I'm accustomed to.
I wonder if our Great Allah, in his holy wisdom, has already chosen one of us?
- Did you hear anything? - Is one of the horses.
They are restless.
Let's get some rest, we have a long journey ahead of us.
My mistress is not interested in your jewels.
In that case,
here's something that will please her. This exclusive material...
from far away China!
Well, I do not know. I'll show it to her and we'll see.
Amina, Amina, my little doll.
You can't keep refusing all the wonderful gifts of life.
- Life can have no pleasure for me. - No...
You must hope, my child.
The man you will love and cherish is looking for the rose.
I'm sure he'll find it and bring it here.
Oh, Ayessa,
there's one man I love and he doesn't even know about the quest.
I'm very sorry, but she doesn't want it.
My lady.
What do you want? You are supposed to leave with your master.
It's about Karim.
- Really? - Yes my lady.
Come!
Water!
That is the thief!
It's Karim! And he has water!
Thank you, Karim.
You saved my life.
Drink.
Thank you.
- I needed that water. - Give some to the others.
This water will have to last, gentlemen, until we reach the next Oasis.
And then where will we go?
He, who wishes to find the blue rose must pass through the seven doors.
The first door lies in the east and can be seen where it is not.
Very good. We are in the East.
Where is the first door? Somebody tell me. Where is it?
Look! Look!
I can see the door.
It seems close enough, but it could be a full day's ride.
It's just a mirage.
Perhaps the first of the seven doors.
It can be seen where it is not.
Osmar, where are you going? Come back here!
We must get there before nightfall. Hurry!
The first door! Let's go see it.
Help!
Help!
What's going on?
- What's happening? - The trees are moving!
Help me. Help me.
Hurry, let's get out of here!
Help.
The second door.
I am Kadeejah.
You faced many perils before coming here to me.
You are very courageous.
I do you welcome, Karim.
- Do you know my name? - Of course.
I beg you to accept my hospitality and stay with me a while.
I am very grateful for your kindness, My lady.
But I have to continue my journey.
You could stay just this evening.
It is much more important that I continue my search.
Don't worry, Karim. I know what you're thinking.
No one will find the blue rose before you do.
How do you know?
If you promise to stay with me until tomorrow,
I'll let you see your princess.
All right, I promise.
My daughter, I bring you good news.
Someone is here to see you.
He is the first one to return.
Thanks to Allah.
I've faced a thousand perils,
but my love for you, Amina, helped me to conquer every obstacle.
Amina.
The blue rose.
Osmar, you are a prince among princes.
- You... - What is the meaning of this?
I'm the victim of evil magic.
You saw it yourself, the rose was blue. Yes, it was evil magic.
Sultan, I ask you for the last time, to keep your word to me.
Bring the real blue rose,
and I will keep my promise.
I will return to this palace,
but I will come back as master of Baghdad!
Karim.
- I must go Kadeejah, before it's too late. - But you saw Amina.
Don't you remember your promise to stay with me until tomorrow?
Tomorrow, I'll show you myself the secret where the blue rose is hidden.
You must believe me. And you must have faith in me.
Take our guest to his room and make him comfortable.
Thank you.
Hassam.
Karim, in the world you left behind, friends become traitors
and love turns to hate.
But here everything is different, friends are true friends and love goes on forever.
Why don't you stay here with me?
I know you're leaving tomorrow, but just for this evening,
let me believe you're not leaving.
You are a very beautiful woman, Kadeejah.
If I stayed, I'm afraid I would never want to go.
- Then, you really must leave? - Yes, I must.
Karim.
Would you like to make a toast?
- To what, Kadeejah? - A toast to the love you've denied me.
If you really love me, I'll stay.
Let's drink now.
- To the two of us. - To a long life together, Karim, dearest.
How dare you come to see me, you fool?
I've come again My Lord to offer my humble services.
Your services...
If it weren't for your services, I would already have everything I came here to get!
- You have failed me! - Listen to me just once more, My Lord...
- and I promise you will be master of Baghdad. - Speak!
As you know, the sultan is a stubborn fool and will do anything to resist you now.
Well?
If you held a hostage who is dear to him, he might change his mind.
The only person the sultan loves in the world:
His daughter.
I'll bring her to you.
Let me go!
Hurry up with it!
Thank you.
Wait.
You!
- Welcome, friend. - In the name of Allah,
- Tell me who you are. - Soon you will know, Karim.
You were the only one who overcame all the obstacles.
I'm proud of you.
But... you saw everything?
Everything. You were the worthiest, Karim.
I'm glad I helped a little.
My son, here is the symbol of my humble esteem.
A jewel.
This is a noble gift for a thief.
Be careful!
It's a magic jewel.
You will be given whatever you wish. Anything. Anything at all.
But only once. Only one wish, Karim.
I thank you from the bottom of my heart, venerable old man.
Read it.
Oh, Sultan of Baghdad,
I, Prince Osmar, Ruler of the Land of the Two Rivers,
declare myself ruler of Baghdad,
and I order you to open the gates of the city
and rend the honors due to me and my armies.
Bring her here!
Amina.
Your daughter will pay with her life if you offer me any resistance.
Prince Osmar!
There is a new law in Baghdad!
Any man who takes a woman by force will be punished with 50 strokes.
I have enough! Now I'm going to teach you a lesson you'll never forget!
Get him!
Put her back in my tent!
Forward!
Forward!
Forward!
Twenty!
35!
Come here!
Get him! Get him and kill him!
36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41.
42!
43, 44, 45...
46, 47, 48.
49...
Fifty!
It's been all for nothing.
All in vain.
The blue rose has been destroyed.
I cannot believe that Allah would wished it so.
- Karim! - Karim!
Karim.
My princess,
there is only one power in the world that can bring happiness to those who lost it.
That is love.
If you love me, Amina,
this is a blue rose.
Yes, Karim.
It's a blue rose.
Father! Look!
- Who is that old man? - Who?
That one! I've seen him a lot lately.
Have you?
Yes. He even gave me a diamond like like the one he has in his hand.
That's impossible, my boy!
It's true, he helped me a lot.
But you don't know what you say.
That man has been dead for years and years.
He was my uncle.
The Great Sultan Araquém I, glory of my...
Of our dynasty.
