Summon the guards. We must leave at once.

Coming up next on The Adventures of Sim.

Those druids.

Stopped.

What was in that case?

A map that leads to a book. A book that if opened could release a force.

A force that could destroy civilization as we know it.

A Bodhi will be dead before we reach the book.

You stop these hired swords.

Rise.

Much everywhere.

I need a Bodhi

here.

Alive.

Mabody, the dark forces are gathering.

I had hoped they were dead and gone.

They live. Take the map and leave at once.

Yes, of course, of course.

You won't be alone.

Help is on the way.

You have always been there for me, Master Dim Dim. Quickly, now go, go!

Janna, summon the guards. We must leave at once.

Scout up ahead.

These people are dangerous.

Father, are you sure they can... Very sure.

Hurry!

Are you all right? Don't worry about me. Just keep moving.

The map. We want the map.

Now, handle... Run, Gianna.

It's me they're after.

I'm not leaving you.

No, there are too many.

Excuse me.

Nice to meet you, too.

Bodhi? Yes?

Right place, wrong time.

The map!

them beat me.

I'm going after them. No.

Just who are you?

I think we have a friend in Master Din Din.

Now, before you go charging off to war, what was in that case?

A map that leads to a book.

A book unlike any other.

A book that, if open, could release a force.

A force that could destroy civilization as we know it.

I appreciate all your help.

But I don't have much time.

Those druids must be stopped.

And the book you talked about?

It's called The Book of Before.

Before?

Before recorded history. The world was ruled by druids. We ran everything

throughout the land.

All was well for us.

Until some druids began to practice black magic to serve their own needs.

We practiced white magic.

Wicked magic.

It was inevitable that someday we would battle it out.

The marauding ruins were destroyed.

Their souls captured inside the book.

From that moment on, the book was used to destroy all our enemies.

Imprison them.

Until one elder decided the book was too powerful for any human to wield.

What is the source of the book's power?

I don't know.

But as the last of the Wiccan elders, I must protect it.

Should the druids ever get their hands on it?

It'd make for very dangerous reading material.

But they have the map.

We don't.

I took the trouble to put the map up here.

Well, if you'd like some company, we'd love to tag along.

I can't believe it.

After all these centuries, the druids will finally wield the power they

Maling. Open it.

Open it.

Maling, my high priestess, you should show more patience and indulge your

in his moment of triumph.

Vengeance is an incomparable feeling.

Is the book far from here?

Much closer than I would have ever thought.

Would I finally open the book?

And release the souls of my warrior ancestors trapped inside.

No army on Earth will be able to stop us.

And I will be the first Druid ruler since before time.

And I will rule by your side.

This beautiful daughter's shirt.

High Priest Agamon.

Abodi and his daughter have left the town of Mambasa.

What? They've joined forces with the mercenaries who came to their aid.

But we have the map.

Abodi must know the way by heart.

I'll retrieve the book. You stop the hired swords.

I will.

And come back to feel the power of the book.

The sooner you destroy a Bodhi, the sooner you can rejoin me.

Book as well hidden as it should be.

What do the druids plan on doing with it?

Release the warriors damned inside.

Unleash the book's power for their own purpose.

Protecting the book is the lifeline for my father. If he fails in that

protection, his lifeline also fails.

He'll die?

Our wicked ancestors wanted to ensure the protection of the book.

It literally becomes a matter of life and death.

We haven't any time to lose.

Yeah!

So many Luminize from the blood and ashes rise.

hearts that don't want to go any further and you blame them what the

devil

something's coming your six cents my ears you

gotta get out

The druid.

It must be a druid's belt.

By my soul.

It's a wood demon.

Nice to meet you.

Okay, let me try something.

Harus, what are you doing?

That

thing

is blind as a bat.

He's hunting us by smell and sound.

Keep down.

Just listen.

Don't say a word.

You remember that bar in Baghdad?

Hammer House?

The way we handled that blowhard Pazuzu?

This guy looks a lot like him to me!

Amazing the tricks you can pick up in a bar. I'll drink to that.

Magnificent.

I practice.

Come on, we're losing time.

I conjured up the earth itself to destroy them all.

And you failed.

Impossible.

I sent out spies to see how effective your parlor tricks would be.

You left before the job was completed.

And you call me a liar.

I didn't mean... Never.

Never doubt my words.

Never, never.

You're lucky you're my daughter.

My spies take care of them.

A Bodhi will be dead before we read the book.

This is an ancient druid forest.

We must be careful.

What was that?

I know they're back there.

The problem is, they're pretty much everywhere.

Where'd they go?

They're using the force of the camouflage.

They're using their magic.

Whatever they're using, it's gonna hurt.

Come on.

Can you see them?

No.

But I can hear them.

Listen.

It all listens if my light depended on it.

It does.

Magnificent. They built a castle on the side of the mountain.

A suitable home for the most powerful force in history.

We'll rest for five minutes, but don't worry.

Nothing's going to stop us.

We're okay.

Nothing.

It's here.

We found it.

Finally father, it's over.

I need a Bodhi here.

I need a Bodhi here.

Alive.

Your father's not getting any younger.

Why hasn't he passed his duties on to someone else?

I'm not his son.

Wicked law requires that a man be the guardian.

I love my father very much.

I'd do anything to lift this burden from his shoulders.

I'll talk to him.

They're going to destroy my father.

Don't worry.

The trap was meant to capture a Bodhi, not to kill him.

They need him to open the book.

He'd rather die first.

Well, let's hope it doesn't come to that.

What do we do now?

Find the druids and bash them.

Bodhi was their guy. He had the map in his head.

Gianna, did you see the map?

Many times, but I... It's in your mind, then.

But I... I can't remember. I can't. Yes, you can.

Trust me.

Look at me.

Just look at me.

I can remember.

This way.

Follow me.

Remind me never to keep a secret from you.

Not a chance.

The great Bodhi laughed at the Wiccan elders.

Welcome.

What is it you want from me?

I've run into some difficulties with the book.

Open the book, you old fool.

Open it.

An aggramant will spare your life.

You'll have to untie me.

By all means.

I'll kill you for that.

The book is not yours to abuse.

Have it your way.

I have been known to squeeze too hard.

Sinbad.

Bruce, the magnet scope.

Might have known. The castle's well guarded.

Is there another way in?

There are fissures on the mountaintop to let the sun and moonlight in.

It was part of the Beacon ceremonies.

Okay.

We're going to hit them from above as well as dead on.

Brynn and I will go up the mountain.

Dubar, we'll send Dermot to signal you. Once you see them, the three of you

charge the front.

Full bore.

What about me?

Stay out of harm's way. We'll get your father and the book.

Not staying behind.

You'll need me to guard you up the mountain.

There are things I remember now.

Tricks and traps.

Sinbad, we do need her.

She knows this place.

All right.

You lead the way.

I'll be right behind you.

Let me try.

I can get him to talk.

A quick dip in molten lava should loosen his tongue.

And his skin.

But... Malin, you're young, foolish, and becoming very tiresome.

Look at him, daughter.

See that strength in his face.

You'd rather die than reveal the secret of the book, wouldn't you, Bodhi?

No, I'm done torturing this...

Noble Wiccan.

Are you all right?

Uh -huh.

Something's wrong, though.

I just don't know what.

Gianna? We're getting to the first opening.

Good.

There must be something you'd rather protect than this musty relic of a book,

isn't there?

Why, I'll bet you'd rather save your daughter from torture, wouldn't you?

Well, you wouldn't want to see her suffer or die.

Abort his companions at scaling the mountainside.

Excellent.

Let's invite her in, shall we?

Tiana! Tiana?

Tiana!

Father!

No, you shouldn't be here. A family reunion.

I'm fully moved.

What have you done to her?

Nothing compared to what I will do.

Unless, of course, you get him to assist me in one small task.

But she ought to go.

She has nothing to do with this.

But she has everything to do with this.

Your precious daughter and your precious book are the only two things you care

about.

Now we're going to see which one you value more.

Tie them up.

It won't work. He won't betray the Wiccans.

Well, we'll just see how loyal he is once he hears your

pain.

There it is.

Send Dermot to alert Dubar, Fruz, and Longar.

Okay, then.

We'll go through that crevice.

There's Dermot.

Time to thin out the Druid herd.

We're coming through!

We have to be quick.

Steel on steel it is.

Please don't punish her. No. Please.

Don't get in.

Don't get in.

Gianna, I can't let you suffer like this.

I'll open the book.

No, somebody will come.

Now, do you open this book for me, or...

rich.

Unleash the power.

Release my druid warriors.

No!

Do not be afraid.

Stop.

Let Gianna go.

I will open the book.

My druid warriors!

Home at last!

All dead and gone.

The book didn't imprison them.

It destroyed them.

The book's power?

The power from before time?

An angry power.

A power that can both create and destroy.

But a power that values good above all else.

How did you know?

Dim Dim?

He's growing fond of me.

Ashes to ashes.

Thank you.

For everything.

I'm just glad the book's in safe hands.

All it needs now is a new resting place.

Well hidden, I hope.

Oh, yes.

In fact, I know someone who could find the perfect spot.

A very brave young girl.

Me? Really?

What about Wiccan tradition? I'm still a woman, you know.

Traditions change as we become more enlightened.

I guess this is goodbye.

I think I created a monster.

We could stay here with us for now.

Let's just say I'll make this a regular port of call.

Yes, let's say that.

Like a little of the book's powers rubbed off on you.

I've only had it a few seconds.

Yep.

This will definitely be a regular port of call.

Something's not right.

Next time on The Adventures of Sinbad.

I must advise you and your friend to leave Scruff at once.

If you stay, you might well contract the sickness.

I'm not sick!

Oh, my family! I'm not sick!

Disarm them and chain them up down below.

Oh, no.

What's that mark on his arm?

She's sick.

Look at her.

Then let Feroz and I work on the cure.

Something's wrong with him. He's infected.

This ship will be a hellhole for all of us.

No!

What is she saying? The truth.

The deadly truth.

Time for your tattoo.

Sinbad. Who is he?

The captain of my son.
