I am Masari, and this is my master, Kundalini.

Coming up next on the Adventures of Superman... Captain!

He was banished.

You must get us to rip him.

Do so, or you will all die.

Why rip on? No arguments!

A fierce looking woman hold my sword in each hand.

Mer. God's death.

How did he die?

Horrible.

That's a pain to me.

I don't know what you're up to in there, but I wanted to...

We have to make for open

sea! I just wanted to know why you'd issue orders that are dangerous and

reckless. You don't know what I know!

I know someone will come looking for you, and when he does, he's gonna want

around.

I am the captain of this ship.

If you're not careful, you'll have a mutiny on your hands.

You dare talk mutiny on my ship?

No one talks mutiny to me. No one.

Step it up. We want to catch the evening

tide.

Exquisite weave.

Note the Farrad reptile pattern.

What is it?

Something moved inside it.

It's still got to go below deck.

Atib, take it down.

Heads up.

Ebony.

These carvings.

Remarkable.

I wonder what it holds. Nothing of importance.

Everyone.

These are our passengers.

I am Masari, and this is my master, Kundalini.

Welcome aboard.

Show them to their quarters.

Follow me.

And you are?

Brynn. Brynn.

I like it.

How do we acquire these two? They're only going to Bacara.

Two days' sale, and they're paying.

Now let's catch that tide.

They're still bound to get in the way.

Are they settled in?

Feeling all right?

Not quite sure.

Something you ate?

No.

Something else.

That looks like death warmed over.

Captain! Captain!

I think you should know something.

What's that at you?

We need to turn back. We must.

Now why would we need to do that?

Our passenger.

It's Kundalini.

I know his name.

What are you trying to tell her?

He's a high priest.

He was banished.

Banished from where?

From Farad.

Where he... Steve?

What are you trying to tell her?

Nothing.

I was mistaken.

Keep an eye on it.

I'll do that.

Oh, God.

What caused... Something diabolical.

It appears his body temperature was superheated. He quite literally boiled

his own fluid.

Struck. You saw nothing?

I must have dozed off and... Fell asleep?

Yes, but... But nothing! Sleep on your watch, you put us all in peril!

I couldn't keep my eyes open.

Something came over me.

Something... All right.

But stay the course.

We've lost time. Let's make it up.

Ativ's body.

Do we bury him at sea?

No. Take him below deck.

He has some family in Bukhara.

We'll be there in a couple of days.

He tried to warn us yesterday.

I haven't forgotten.

You know something about this?

No.

Go tell your master I want to have a few words with him.

He appears to have a thing for you.

A thing you might lose if he's not careful.

Captain Sinbad will see you.

You wish to see me?

One of my crew members died on deck last night.

You know anything about it?

How did he die?

Horribly.

Painfully.

And quietly, I heard nothing.

Did you or your manservant leave your quarters?

Are you sure?

What is it?

Don't you believe me?

They're a strong one.

Which means you need to look at this.

I will do what I tell you to do whenever I tell you to do it.

Watch.

Your strength will no doubt prove useful.

But you must listen.

Listen.

You understand?

I know what must be done.

I need you all on deck. I thought we were having breakfast.

First, we have to change our course.

For where?

Rippon.

Rippon? It's uninhabited.

Because of fierce currents and rocky shoals, no one sets foot on Rippon.

No discussion.

Set the sails immediately.

Why Rippon? No arguments!

I don't give orders quite.

Hey, tell me what you know about this.

Course is set.

Rip on.

Send your dismissal.

Please tell me what you want there. I said you're dismissed.

Aye, aye, Captain.

Well, this dance just turned into a shoving match. Meaning what?

Meaning I'm going below to ask some pointed questions.

He probably needs a diplomat.

Probably more than one.

You better both go.

Something you want?

I just wanted to know why you'd issue orders that are dangerous and reckless.

Look at me.

Go.

You have work to do.

If you're afraid, you can always be left behind in the long room.

I don't know what you're up to in there, but I wanted to quit.

What Dubar is trying to say is... What

are these doing here?

Get out!

I don't think so.

I think you're going to do some talking. What do I mean? Some fast talking.

I'm going to lose my temper. And when I lose my temper, things start flying.

At once.

You can start by telling me what's in this mysterious box.

Brynn!

Take the tiller.

Stay the course.

Do it.

I will not say this again.

Leave immediately.

I'm going to count to three.

You can either step aside or I will put you aside.

One.

Two. Three.

You're going to leave.

Now!

Don't you ever do that again, Sinbad.

And don't you ever set foot in here again.

Another one of your new orders?

That's exactly what it is.

All of you, topside, where you belong.

Tobar, come on.

Come on.

You must get us to Ripon.

Do so.

Or you will all die.

Nice to see you too.

Mind if I eat before the vulture finishes everything up?

Excuse the rude manners of a hungry man.

Strock!

This one needs to get fed.

You and I could be friends.

Fact is, you and I should be friends.

And why should that be true?

My master is now your master.

True?

You tell me.

I just did.

The door.

I understand.

No one.

You seem discontent with your service.

Why are you with him? Enough gold makes any service tolerable.

And you'd risk your position to help me?

There are plenty of other positions I'd prefer.

You do get heated up, don't you?

Now you're out cold.

Keep watching.

How much longer?

Tomorrow.

You must not fail.

Tell me you will not fail.

I won't fail.

Good.

He got grabby.

Strock said you wanted to see me.

Did anyone see you come?

No. Sinbad's alone topside. The captain's in his own little world.

I got into their quarters.

Saw what was in the chest.

What was it?

The body of a young woman.

Cold to the touch, no pulse.

Just when did the nomad become a corpse transport?

Did you see anything else?

Candles, snakes, a statue, just what you must have seen.

We didn't see any statue.

What did the statue look like?

It was green.

A fierce -looking woman holding a sword in each hand.

Mara. The statue of Mara, the goddess of death.

Years ago, her followers were called the Bloodthirsty Assassins. Apparently,

they still are.

No. They developed into a ceremonial group, abandoning their murderous rites

civilized devotions.

Right.

Were snakes part of their worship?

Yes. They claimed to draw their power from them. And like snakes, some of the

more fanatical members supposedly possess hypnotic powers.

That's all I need to hear. I say we charge in there, collar those two, and

them under lock and key.

And do you think Sinbad's going to let you do that?

She's right.

We have to make Sinbad see the reason in all this.

Sinbad is without his wits.

He's being controlled.

What are we going to do?

Let me try to reach him.

We share a special bond.

Maybe I can break whatever hold Kundalini has over him.

Dubar, I need you all with me.

Seeing us united might be exactly what he needs.

You went to tall quarters, didn't you? I don't have to tell you anything.

You could have gotten me killed.

Maybe you should watch the company you keep. You don't know everything.

You don't know what I know.

What I know is going to come looking for you. And when it does, you're going to

want me around.

It's as if he's under some sort of a spell.

What is this?

It's us.

Your crew, your friends, your brother.

And?

And I want you to look at us.

Now, why would I... Just look at us.

Remember us for who we are.

For what we mean to one another.

Remember.

We need more sale.

See to it.

No. You see to it.

I am the captain of this ship. And if you're not careful, you'll have a mutiny

on your hands.

You dare talk mutiny on my ship?

No one talks mutiny to me.

No one.

No brother of mine would ever pull a sword on me.

Struck! Yes, Captain.

Lock this man up.

And I want you to post the guard.

These others aren't to be trusted.

Now back to work, or do I have to put others under arrest?

Do as he says.

I guess that means I'll have to pilot the ship all the way to Ribbon myself.

We still arrive tomorrow, correct?

It won't be easy going in.

A risk we must take.

Why?

Allow no doubts to enter. None. Do

as I command.

And if I don't? You must.

And you will.

I won't.

Look.

Kundalini!

I heard something from your quarters.

I wasn't sure if...

Are you all right?

Get Brynn.

Get her.

The captain needs you.

Kundalini's doing something to him. He has a...

It's like a team.

The same hideous death.

I stepped out only for a moment when I returned.

What's happening here?

Whatever it is, we can't let it go on.

And only you can stop it.

Sinbad.

Put this body with the other. We're nearly to rip on.

Look at me.

What? Look at what? This.

This holds the power to set you free.

Guard the door.

Let no one enter.

Wait.

Look at me.

Let no one enter.

No one.

How do you feel?

Ready to take back my ship.

I know just where to start.

Step aside.

Nothing's going to stop me from getting inside there.

To move me, you're going to have to kill me.

And it's your way.

Kundalini, open up!

Zip it!

Whatever you're doing is over. Now tell us what this is all about.

Begin with whose body's in the chest.

Tell us.

Or I'll have it thrown overboard.

This is Rhea, my daughter.

Rhea, this is Sinbad.

No, I'm not mad.

Only desperate.

To accomplish what?

sparing her endless misery.

What happened to her?

Myria was the sweetest of children.

She was to become the High Priestess of Farad, honored and esteemed, provided

with all her earthly needs.

But Mara demanded service.

What sort of service?

A chance to return.

To regain her evil prowess.

Upon reaching womanhood, Myria became someone else.

A murderous fiend, a savage executioner.

She became Mara. Why didn't you stop it from happening?

Stop her?

Nobody stops Mara.

I tried everything, every spell, potion, incantation, every method to appease

Mara, to cool her fiery rage.

Sometimes I gain control.

Sometimes I don't.

Why are you so intent on getting to Ripon?

Nobody lives there. No one can be killed there.

I intended for Masari to stay with you. Only Rhea and I were to remain on the

island, alone but together.

And if I failed to expel Mara out of Rhea, then I would have to kill her.

Kill her before she killed me.

Wanting to save your daughter is one thing.

Endangering my ship is another.

I needed help.

I still need that help.

Won't you grant me that help?

Do I have a choice?

What are you sitting around in the dark for?

Surely you've got better things to do. Name one.

Returning as my first mate.

What are the wages?

Where are we headed?

Ripon.

Look me in the eye again.

Ripon.

You're the captain.

Looks tough.

Really?

What makes you say that?

I guess it'll give us something to crow about in the tavern.

Peruse! Have you spotted a way in yet?

There's a possible entry point on the west side!

West it is.

Let's start our approach.

Do my bidding.

Farouk! Give me a sighting! I'm still not there yet!

Those are some wicked -looking rocks.

I hope there's no reptiles.

Oh, there's going to be a fierce one as soon as Faroo spots a break in the reef,

and that's what we're looking for.

Okay, the reef dropped off. You can bring her about.

You going to shoot the gap?

Right. First, furl the sails.

Do what? The wind's too unpredictable.

We're going to ride the riptide in.

I guess you've had crazier ideas.

Thanks for the eager support.

Brent, warn them we're going in.

Come on, Nomad.

You can do it.

on track.

Good.

Some of the cross currents have picked.

Other than that, smooth sailing.

Get down here and take our hot teller.

We're going to have to destroy those things.

Consider it done. I'll go check on Brett.

I warned you. You should have listened.

I so wanted to touch your lips.

What happened? Mara, she's taken Reha again.

Have you seen Bryn?

Bryn?

Bryn? Bryn, where are you?

If you leave this room, it will be to your death.

Your turn.

He was always only half a minute.

Mara, she's gone on deck.

Then we'll have to see.

You're doing fine.

Bring her about at light command.

He loves her.

His Ria.

His lost daughter.

And in a way, he did save them.

And not their lives, too.

I'll always recall that last look of peace on their faces.

By the way, do you remember hitting me?

No. Deck me, to be precise.

Really? Really.

You always did have a glass jaw.

I

believe

the streaks of light are falling pieces of rock and brick, and they're tumbling

from space towards us.

Exactly how large are these pieces of rock?

Next time on The Adventures of Thinback. Full hands!

It is a prophecy!

Creatures of light have been banished from the heavens.

Demons are sent to test our fate.

There's one of the demons!

Kill him!

We must kill you before you kill us.

That's it. Destroy them.

Bury them forever.

Peruse! I made the most astonishing discovery.

Splinter.

We've been expecting you.
