Aladdin 3477: The Jinn of Wisdom

Madam Darshana Shailaja, Venkata Gatekeeper.

What is this device?

Madam, this is just a mapping tool to helped us find you.

If you use such a device again,

it will be you who finds fate with fire.

Understood.

Uh, my name is Harshad.

I come seeking the Jinn of Wisdom.

Pradeep here is a thief, and my sacrifice for the loan.

Is he aware of your intentions?

-Yes. -Are you lying?

Yes.

Aladdin!

Oh, hi, Jahla.

Jahla? It's Jahli, you arrogant piece of freighter scum!

You disappeared, no goodbye,

and you stole my vintage holo projector!

Jahli, I'm so sorry, I can explain everything.

I, I've actually be-- been trying to get a hold of you.

- Yeah, you and your stupid radio-head robot.

Hey, now you're just being mean to Fidgi.

I like to recycle.

Recycle? Stolen trash!

-He can't even talk! -Hey, Fidgi can speak just fine.

I just prefer the Phonic Harmonic setting.

I find that melodic tones give Fidgi a lot more personality to his character--

Hey, hey, no-- no reason to call the police!

Can't we just talk this through?

Jahli, it's been real, it's been nice...

It hasn't been real nice.

And as for freighter scum...

What?

- Actually, I don't think that's freighter scum.

Time to move, Fidgi!

Sorry.

Fidgi, come on.

Well, that was an unwelcome thumb in the butt.

Jahli had it coming.

You would have done the same.

Oh, real classy, Fidg.

What about the hover chopper?

- No, I hot-wired the hover chopper!

Look, it was your idea to steal Jahli's

holo projector in the first place!

Fidgi! Get out of here!

Hey, hey, I don't want any trouble.

Ah!

Hey guys, is there any way to get through here?

Not today? Got it.

No, no, no, wait! Jahli!

I, I miss you.

No! No, no, no, wait! Jahli, we can talk about this!

Aladdin!

Guys, I just want to get through.

No one asked you. Buzz off.

Don't ask.

Yeah? Well, sometimes you don't smell so great yourself, Fidgi.

- What do you mean this isn't water?

Chetan. Always nice to see my Grand Vizier

promptly answering my call.

Of course, my Sultan. It's, it's my duty to serve--

Tell me, your personal ship,

normally you have it docked along the rear gateway.

It's not there at the moment, but I see you're here.

Well, where is your ship?

Vishal, where's Kamala?

-She's missing, my Sultan. -Oh!

Chetan, any idea where she might be?

-My Sultan, I can assure-- -Where is my daughter?

You're the Minister of Security,

and somehow my daughter managed to walk out of here.

And not just steal any ship but yours?

Vishal, what city are we over right now?

-Jaipur. -Ah, Jaipur.

And, Chetan, what city are you from?

Jaipur, my Sultan.

Jaipur. Excellent.

Chetan, this will be good news to you and your family.

You're relieved of your position today.

-You get to go home! -I've failed you, my Sultan.

Guards, escort Chetan to his ship off the rear gateway.

My Sultan, but, but my ship isn't here.

Oh, that's right. What a shame.

Escort him off the rear gateway anyway!

My Sultan, would it now be appropriate to solicit the code?

I don't like it.

But I do think it's time.

I think I've got it now, Fidg.

Alright! An XR Viewer.

And it works!

Score!

Stop following me.

We're better than this, Fidgi.

We belong up there.

- Not with the crap scrap down here.

Aladdin?

Pich? What are you doing here?

As a hologram?

- So, Pich, where are you living now?

In a giant storage container, just like you!

I, I mean, my mind is all over Hong Kong,

but I'm still down the corridor.

And you're alright with that?

I mean, how do you know if you're okay?

Do you go check on yourself?

No way, it's the Astral Rule.

You can't watch yourself. People go crazy doing that.

So how do you know someone doesn't try to kidnap you or something?

Get past the security system?

You're the one that built it!

But honestly,

it's the last thing on my mind.

I mean, the fantasy I can live

through the NanoNet is crazy!

- Just last week, I slept with three celebrities.

All at the same time!

Yeah, but, Pich, it's all in your head.

You look ridiculous all interlaced like that.

Trust me, just because Hong Kong law says

I need to look like this to you,

- everything is crystal clear in my world.

And I know a guy who can get me "tangible."

I don't know. You should be careful with that.

I never understand her.

I give her my trust

and she abuses it the first chance she gets.

I'm sure she is safe with the security team you have provided for her.

There should be six of them and they have sworn their life on it.

Nah. What of the Vizier test? Any luck?

Actually, only one candidate was able to crack the code.

His methods may be sacrilegious,

-but times like these often call for-- -Where is he?

I want to meet him. Immediately.

My lord, it appears he's here already.

Sultan Ajit Gopala of Shivali.

A Hologram?

Do you have any idea how insulting this is?

I come only to serve and mean no disrespect.

I'm currently in Jupiter's orbit,

but I am on my way back to Earth.

I would be there in person if I could.

We cannot detect the signal's origin.

-Anish? -If he was on Earth, we would know it.

It is likely he's telling the truth.

You seek the position available for Minister of Security.

Grand Vizier.

You were able to crack our code.

- How? - - I'm aware of your feelings

-about illegal technologies-- -Feelings?

Most of my family was killed during the last Cyber War.

I've built India from the ground up, stronger than ever.

And I did so without the HoloNet or the NanoNet.

Having you present yourself digitally is--

My Sultan, I couldn't agree more.

But laws don't make these devices obsolete.

Corruption. Gangsters.

The underground filth looking to overthrow you

grows stronger each day,

and they capitalize on power

you refuse to take advantage of yourself.

I'm extremely fluent in utilizing

these technologies you prohibit.

You can punish me as necessary,

or accept my allegiance to you,

letting me use my skills to serve.

A final test. My daughter managed to sneak off in one of our Sentry ships.

- Do you know where she is? - No. But with my methods,

I can promise to have her back to you within 24 hours.

Twenty-four hours it is.

If you can bring her back, unharmed...

...the job is yours.

Consider it done, my Sultan.

Prepare the Ro-Mows. She's headed to China.

Way to be discreet, Pich.

What, you wanna go check up on him?

Be my guest.

Hey, good looking. Gives me a kiss!

It's a pleasure to be back, Lien Hua.

Excuse me, sir, have you ever seen oil lamps this exquisite?

Not interested.

Not even if they represent the seven Jinn?

Ah-ha!

The finest Jinn Lamps you have ever seen.

All seven with intricate detail!

So these have Genies in them?

Of course not. But these are exact replicas

of what the seven Jinn Lamps look like.

This one is the Jinn of Health,

and this lamp is the Jinn of Wealth.

Ah-ha!

Ooooh, that one is the Jinn of Sexuality!

The Jinn of Sexuality? Really?

So if I were to just rub it right here--

That's blasphemy, boy.

Jeez, I'm sorry. Here.

You can have your sexuality back.

Come on, Fidgi. Let's go.

- Some people really take that Genie stuff seriously.

Sounds perfect.

Anything to elude the convention of it all.
