Sinbad

The name of the ship on which Sinbad sailed!

Lord Akbari, please, I beg you!

I'm only a humble Harbour Master.

I don't know!

Then what use are you to me?

No!

Master.

There's only one way to find Sinbad now.

Well, I'm just anticipating it, all right?

OK, well...

Now, don't worry. It doesn't taste like the first bottle.

It tastes worse.

Oh, that's vile. Right?

Ah!

I still don't understand why you're so keen to get this tattoo.

I think we should just all be glad... Ah!

The good doctor is finally throwing caution to the wind.

I think he wants something to remember this trip by. Exactly.

At least this way I have something

to remind me of all the people I've met along the way.

Anwar, just stop talking and sit still. You're worse than a girl.

Loosen up, yeah.

Yeah, there we go! So, what's the story behind your tattoo, then?

Ah, it's a farming tattoo.

A blessing to have the sheep be more productive in their breeding.

Breeding?

Please don't give me one of them. Don't move!

So, uh, you going back there, then, to the farm?

Ah, it's a big world out there. Lots of trading still to be done.

Home can wait. Anwar!

No, look, I just need some air.

Unbelievable. Ha, ha-ha! No, I'm just...

Go. It's the alcohol. I'll be back in a minute.

Oh, he's so scared.

Come on.

Just a tattoo, Anwar. It's just a permanent mark on your skin.

God! I don't want to...

Guys, we need to leave.

If you don't want a tattoo, just say so.

No, it's not... It's a wise choice... Oh, really?

Is what your parents would say.

There are Basra guards here. Four of them. What?

Behind me.

Don't look.

Just... Maybe it's just a coincidence.

This far from Basra. No.

No coincidence.

Somehow they know you are here.

Well, then maybe I should help them find what they're looking for.

No, no, no, no, no. I am not going to run from them. Yes, you are.

It's the best way. Get back to the ship.

Be careful. Bring her around to the cape on the other side.

Shouldn't we all stay together?

No, they'll be watching the docks for him. No, look, because of men like that, my brother is dead.

And you want the rest of us to join him?

I imagine Akbari wants you taken alive.

But, if they catch the rest of us in your company...

Look, swallow your temper,

and think of a way of getting us out of here.

What?

She didn't mean anything to me, I swear!

Then why were you kissing her, huh!? I didn't kiss her. You did too!

Stop. He's mine now.

No, he's mine!

Don't get any big ideas, lover boy.

Anyone else getting a bad feeling?

Cook said if there was trouble, he'd lower the flag. If there was trouble

maybe he didn't get the chance. I hope not.

Without Sinbad or Gunnar, I don't like our chances.

I can take care of us.

We stick to the plan and get back on the ship.

Come on.

We keep moving.

Cut across the land, keeping the sun on our right

and we make it to the cape on the other side.

Great, crawling on our bellies like the cowardly rats we are.

Rats are smart. They have survival instinct.

You can learn something from them. Learn?

I grew up on streets like these.

I don't need a farmer telling me how to sneak through them.

The coast is clear.

Come on.

Anwar. Leave off!

See? I told you. No problem. Your hand's shaking.

Let's be honest, we're all out of our depths on this one.

Speak for yourself.

Run. Now!

And all the fishes in the sea came swimming neatly home to me.

Come on. Where are you going? We need to go back and around.

There's a second patrol coming this way. That's taking a risk. Well...

Gunnar! Come on.

I'll take it from here.

You may fool Lord Akbari with your magic act...

but it won't work with me.

I'm so sorry.

I've seen your future.

You won't live to go home.

Your wife, your children, you'll never see them again.

This place will be your tomb.

Keep playing your games

but my men will bring Akbari the fugitive.

Not you.

What do you think you're doing?

You lied to me.

There was no second patrol! I told you - I'm not going to run.

Then you're a fool! You can't take them on all by yourself.

And I won't fight along side you. Gunnar!

Now, we move.

Gunnar.

Gunnar.

Are we going to talk about that?

I've never seen you that angry.

Who are you?

I'm just a man...

who thinks you should save your energy for walking and not talking.

It's a long hike to the cape

if night falls and we haven't made it yet.

I want to help you. But, you need to help me first.

Only you can save your friends now. What does that mean?

Lord Akbari has given the order that anyone collaborating

with Sinbad be put to the sword.

One by one, your friends will die.

I will kill them all. No.

Tell me what you know about Sinbad, where he's headed,

and I will do everything I can to protect your friends.

I know how you're feeling. Scared.

Out of your depth.

But we don't have much time.

They... don't have much time.

Then I'm sorry.

Guards, execute the prisoners.

The cape.

He's heading to the cape the other side of the island.

Where's he headed to after that?

Basra to see his family?

Why not?

I don't know.

You can save her.

You can be the hero.

And all you have to do is tell me.

Or, you can watch her die.

Hm.

He can't go back.

His grandmother, she put a curse on him.

Thank you.

You don't know what it's like.

Every time I think of home, I think of Akbari and my brother.

You're angry and think you have the right to take revenge.

But you don't. Sinbad, get control of yourself.

You don't keep yourself in check, you're going to end up in real trouble.

Shh! What?

Run!

The Khaima!

You better draw your sword now.

No! Gunnar, I'm serious. No.

Gunnar!

Gunnar!

So, you're certain that Sinbad is heading for the Cape?

Yes. But by the time you get there, I'll already have brought him back.

They have no right to be on my ship.

They're just possessions. Meaningless.

They don't feel meaningless.

She said she needed something of Sinbad's.

Not clothes, something that was part of him.

What did you tell her up there? I did what I had to protect us.

What exactly does that mean?

And who does this belong to?

Is it his?

Is it Sinbad's?

You tried.

Don't feel bad, you couldn't help it.

It was just that little moment of fear, of...

being found out that told me everything I needed to know.

This is his hair.

What's she doing?

Old magic. Dark.

She is summoning a hunter.

Part of Sinbad, part of her.

Sinbad is part of you as you are part of me.

Breathe what he breathes. Feed off his emotion.

Follow the magic of his curse.

Go to him now.

Bring him to me.

Gunnar.

What was that creature?

Um, well, technically it would be called a familiar,

a creature created with a certain bond to someone,

though how it can actually move and exist is quite extraordinary

and, well, wrong.

Strange, though.

The way I heard it, you can only use a creature like that

if you knew your pray had some magic about him.

You told her about the curse!?

I'm so sorry!

Would you rather they slaughtered us all one by one?

And, if you hadn't been so fondly keeping a lock of his hair

hidden away...

It will smell Sinbad out.

It's connected to him now.

I had no choice.
