Belardi. A mystical sect devoted to the study of martial arts and the mystery of

life. Coming up next on The Adventures of Sinbad.

What does it sound like?

A baby crying.

People screaming.

Let none escape!

None! Where's your child?

Find it, Jeeves.

Promise me you will take him to Belardi.

Do any of you know how to care for a baby? I don't think so. In order to get

the Belardi, you have to cross the desert first.

We've got company out here. The bandits are here!

We've got nowhere to go. I'm coming out!

Ranga, where's the bridge?

See that? The bridge!

The child is wearing a gold ring around his neck.

The third harmony ring.

Here they come.

There are a lot of them.

We're nearly to the cargo pickup.

I wonder where Dermot is.

He usually doesn't wander off this far.

Probably just stretching his wings.

I could use a stretch myself.

I can make another poultice for your back. No thanks. The last one drew

buzzards.

Rungar.

Velarde.

As in Velarde Monk? The who?

A mystical sect devoted to the... study of martial arts and the mystery of life.

Interesting combination.

Do you hear that?

Hear what?

What does it sound like?

A baby crying.

People screaming.

Let's go.

Now, where's your child?

Where's your child?

Achieve.

Achieve. Ah, there you are.

Achieve.

Achieve. Achieve.

Achieve. Achieve.

Achieve.

Achieve. Achieve. Achieve.

Achieve. Achieve.

Achieve. Achieve. Achieve. Achieve. Achieve. Achieve. Achieve. Achieve.

Achieve. Achieve.

It's okay.

We'll be back.

Please, bring me my babe.

Here he is.

His name is Ajib.

He must reach Bilardi.

The monks there will care for him.

What about the father?

He has none.

Promise me you'll take him to Bilardi.

Promise me.

I can only pay you this.

It's all the caravan's riches.

There's also a map inside.

Don't worry.

We'll get them there, no matter what it takes.

They will try.

Don't let them.

Don't.

Ajib.

May they rest in peace.

Do any of you know how to care for a baby?

I've raised lab mice.

Does he look like a mouse to you?

And your expertise would be? I'm sure we can manage to look after him.

Right, Brent?

Right.

Look at this.

What is it?

Looks like a talisman.

It appears to have some kind of writing on it.

Looks like some sort of handwriting.

I can't make it out.

Farouz, you're crowding him.

Such a sweet face.

He's going to be a lady killer.

Eyes of a scholar.

What he is is our new cargo.

One that I plan to deliver.

The map should be easy to follow.

Let's start following it.

Why don't you just run down there and slay them? Your old tried and true

of dealing with any and all pilgrims. Put that down, you blind drunk.

These men are fighters, not pilgrims.

What were you doing the fighting?

I'm a conjurer, not a fighter.

Yeah, I'll need your feeble enchantments later.

Yes, you will.

Especially when it comes to the woman.

What is that supposed to mean?

That she possesses hidden powers.

Well, just make sure your powers aren't hidden.

In order to get to the Bilardi, they'll have to cross the desert first.

Go alert the Vores.

Gonna let them do your dirty work, huh?

That's right. And make sure you help them fight.

Do it!

Gather some of the men.

We won't leave anything to chance.

This must be the desert on the map.

The desert crossing.

Always a joy.

Well, like it or not, we've got to cross it.

How's our water supply?

We've got a full skin.

Is he all right?

Yeah. Must have had a bad dream.

To that he's entitled.

You better take a break.

For Ruth, get the water skip.

It's been bad.

It's been cut.

We've got company out here.

Sort of sick lowlife would keep water from a baby.

Once we don't have time to meet, let's keep up our pace.

Come on.

Got to admire their grit.

But these strangers are going to find trouble along the way.

How's he doing?

He sure travels better than I do.

I had to open my mouth.

You okay?

He jerked again like he's frightened.

Something's wrong with the horses.

Take that!

Hubar, hold fast!

Chug!

You two all right? Just a little shaken.

Bruise? No damage done. But plenty intended.

We've got to get to the end of this desert.

I think the end is in sight.

Yeah.

I think not.

None the worse for the excitement.

Here.

Your turn.

But I'm not sure I know how to hold him. Just keep his head above his heels.

Good.

You're natural.

Now I plan to go bathe.

And I'd appreciate some privacy.

He's a baby, not a basket of eggs.

Dubar's right.

Relax, or it'll tense your tension. I am relaxed.

Reminds me of when I carried you.

Here, let me.

I can handle this.

He looks hungry.

I've got some bread in my satchel. Well, soak a piece of it.

Here, let me.

I'll get him interested.

Gotta let him get a whiff of it first.

You like it?

Told you.

It's a good gummer.

The woman is off alone.

We must first put an end to her witchcraft.

Seems like her magic is stronger than ours.

Go kill her, Tork.

One man is not enough.

Tork isn't you.

When I tell him to do something, he does it.

You better prove it's useful.

Looking for something?

Why don't you come and get it?

Better

yet,

I'll bring it to you.

Think he's had enough to eat?

Sounds like it.

Then back!

The bandits are here!

I hope they've given up. We have the caravan's riches.

Let's go!

Quickly!

Can they nothing?

Not a word.

Let me hazard just one. Look, I would do so carefully then.

The word being bridge.

The chasm bridge.

The only access to Velarde.

And without that bridge, there is only open ground and the chasm.

In the meantime, reinforcements will have arrived.

See to it.

No.

It will be something they won't.

According to the map we should nearly be there.

See anything?

Nothing. But they're still behind us.

There's a bridge up ahead.

Does it look sturdy?

Good. But get across before they cut us off.

Walk out.

You sure there was a bridge?

Perhaps you may have took a wave of life in...

Maybe they destroyed it.

Still, we need a way to cross over.

Sinbad.

Greetings.

As you can see, I am unarmed.

And I assure you, I intend you no harm.

Who are you? My name is Pera.

I live near here.

Ah, you have a child.

Interesting necklace.

Listen, we're attempting to get to Boulardy. We could use a little help.

It's treacherous passage through there, especially with an infant.

You'll need a guide.

Like you?

Like me.

I'll need a couple of hours.

To inform my wife.

One hour.

Let's set up camp nearby.

Turn the horses out to graze.

I don't like them either.

But it's right about a jeep's safety.

You sure they're there?

On open ground.

Good. I trust I've proved helpful.

You better hope so. Let me also note that the child is wearing a gold ring

around his neck.

An inscribed gold ring.

Appears you're going to be needing all the help you can get.

I don't think so. I believe the third tux should have been a fold.

Bruce, I think it's about time you invented something that didn't require

folds. Not a bad suggestion.

He hasn't returned.

Where's Rangar?

Off somewhere.

Still scouting for the bridge, I think.

Well, we've waited long enough.

Dubar, find Rangar.

Tell him we're moving out.

I think he's looking for you.

I'll go warn the others.

Easy.

Easy.

Sinbag! We're about to be attacked!

Turn it over!

Brynn!

We've got nowhere to go.

Good observation.

Keep them pinned down.

If we burn them out, they'll have nowhere to go.

Again!

He seems to be enjoying this.

I hope Rangar's alright.

Yeah, I just hope he's in a better position than we are.

It's getting hot.

Think it's time to negotiate?

Which I have in mind.

We give them the money.

No reason to put this child's life in jeopardy.

Not to mention ours.

Hand over the pouch.

But if they won't bargain, make a run for it.

Here's what you're looking for.

Take it.

It's yours.

Drop your sword.

Now bring out the child.

The child has nothing to do with this. The child has everything to do with it.

It's him we're after.

Well, can't have him.

Thank you.

Drop your blade.

Now tell them to drop their bows and to move back.

Tell them!

Drop your weapons!

All right.

And move back.

Move back!

Stimbat, Longair's found the bridge.

Good. We're in need of a bridge.

Rangar? Where's the bridge?

I

guess

looks can be deceiving.

You're okay.

Watch your step.

I hope it holds us.

You on the other hand our exits back

Back to the bridge.

Get him.

Get across.

Don't let him escape.

Come on.

Sinbad, we're starting across.

Keep going.

Nice grab.

Don't mention it.

Let's go.

Well, once again, your tricks fail.

Because of him!

Come and laugh!

This time he won't last.

Call in all the forces.

All. We go the long route.

To Velarde.

I think we caught their interest.

At least Ajib has.

That would worry me if it weren't for the fact that not one of them has a

weapon. Is that a child? No. What have they got? It's a child.

We're here to see the Bilardi monks.

Where can we find them?

We're going to grab one of them and shake it out of them. Not just yet.

Surely one of you will help us.

Is that a boy child?

It is.

The monks are gone.

Where to?

The no -gods killed them, ransacked the temple.

Why? The temple was once a sacred destination.

Then the no -gods arrived and set about robbing all the pilgrims who traveled to

it. The monks attempted to stop them.

And the Nocot slaughtered them.

Why do the pilgrims still journey here, then?

Because they believe the temple is still sacred, that it still holds power.

This child's dying mother begged us to bring him here.

She said the monks would care for him.

I'll take you to the temple.

All that remains of the Harmony Reefs, those the Nokuts could not destroy.

What was done here is barbaric. More than that.

The Nokuts sell all our male children into slavery.

Why? Fear.

It was foretold that a monk would be reborn, returned to us, an avenger, who

would end the Nokut curse.

A child who would wear a prayer ring around his neck.

The third harmony ring.

He wears that ring, doesn't he?

Even if Ajib were him, which I doubt that he is.

He's still only a kid.

One that has a lot of growing up to do.

Brit, tell me what you feel.

Could Ajib be this child?

I know he means a lot to you, but you must understand our people need him. It

his destiny to be here. But can you protect him? Upon my life.

I will protect him. I believe you to be a brave man.

But alone against the Nokods, your bravery won't protect Ajib. I'm sure the

others will stay by me. I'm sure of that. For that, I'll need proof.

I will call a town meeting.

Just so you know, you're not going to get me to like this.

None of us do.

We have to make sure that... do the right thing.

We will.

He's the child for two, the avenging monk. Our destiny is his destiny.

Unless we safeguard his life, our life will remain accursed.

Join with me in a solemn vow to protect his well -being.

Will you do that? The no -cats will know of him.

They'll hunt him down.

Then we must fight them. Fight the no -cats?

They spared only a handful of able men.

Better to live under the sword than die by them. Yes.

And the sons you never knew. The sons given to the slavers. What life was

for them?

Citizens, this is our one chance, our one and only chance.

This child demands our parish.

We need to get to the temple. Go! Go!

You can run, but this

time your luck has run out.

This time you cannot save the child.

Secure the doors. What about the windows?

There's four of them and four of us.

Brynn stays with the chief.

How's he doing?

Must have some warrior blood in him.

You'll be all right.

We won't let them get you.

They think the temple will protect them.

I would exercise caution.

Not this time. The power lies with us.

Look.

And the reptile.

How many can you see?

I've lost count.

It appears they've gathered a formidable force.

Yeah, you could say that.

Despite the math, I refuse to give up hope. Now that's the swagger, Farooz.

If we can keep him out.

Put it in the tab.

No!

He can't kill us all. Fight!

killed your last man.

Prepare to meet your maker.

It appears I have one more to kill.

Back away, all of you!

Drop your sword like you died.

Drop

your

weapon, or die.

So you're wasting no time in rebuilding the temple?

Never waste time.

Nothing is more precious.

Well said.

You have all done a great service to me.

And to us.

It's in our nature.

I only wish you would stay.

Well, stay you put.

That isn't in our nature.

And Dubar.

Thanks for fixing my diaper.

Don't mention it.

And I mean don't.

Is something

wrong?

I miss holding him.

You know what they say. They grow up quick.

Something like that.

You must catch the sea.

Next time on The Adventures of Sinbad.

She jumped.

I don't hear anything.

Sinbad, I think I found something.

What's that smell?

Sweet. Like old corpses.

Are we talking monsters here?

Now, nobody's ever been up to Naupoo's lair and come down and talked about it.

Thought I heard the last of him. He made monsters.

Exactly how many of these things are we talking about? Hundreds of them.

When I'm finished here, I'll take one of my pregnant queens and go to another

land. Oh, did I mention I'd need your boat?

We'll dig a passageway from the lake to a point above one of the caverns, blow a

hole in it, and funnel the water into it.

We're going to need some bank.
