Original subtitles

It was only at great expense that I was able to purchase this.

Coming up next on The Adventures of the Thin Man.

It is our destiny to follow you.

It's not you.

Something has control of our ship.

I have waited lifetimes for this man.

If he surpasses all the tests, then he will have proven himself.

He will.

Something's approaching.

It uses its teeth to transmit a charge. Come here.

Sinbad. What?

Kill only her.

The next test is the tunnel of fire.

Appears to be venting some sort of volcanic activity.

Don't!

Something went wrong.

This is Lucis.

This isn't what it seems. They're coming!

Seize them all!

Come.

Stay with me.

Stay a moment.

Put your backs into that thing. Okay.

Drop anchor.

All right, sir.

So that's Klax. That it is. I don't like the look, sir.

So noted.

Chompsheet, prepare the longboat. Yes, sir. Got it.

Grongar, go tell Farooz and Tanner that we've arrived.

It was an easy journey.

You almost sound disappointed.

I must be developing a sense of adventure.

More like myth adventure.

Carrying passengers, chasing treasure.

Sounds like a wild goose chase.

I think this treasure's real.

And we get half.

I'll believe it when I see it.

I know we're stretching things a bit.

But rich cargo has been few and far between lately.

Captain Sinbad, I can't tell you my joy at all.

Well, now that we're here, what's our next step?

I have a land map.

It was only at great expense that I was able to purchase this.

Someone got close.

But now, so have we. I just hope you two know what you're talking about.

Dubar, in the annals of history, is well documented that the Roman Empire sent

off colonizing expeditions.

Clacks have held one of these colonies.

Civilizations under themselves.

Civilizations of untold wealth.

I haven't told you this, but I have every reason to believe that we have

the lost hitrium.

Did you?

The banished rebel empress.

Legendary throughout ancient history as the immortal one. This truly is the

opportunity of a lifetime.

It is our destiny to follow this quest.

Well, it's our destiny to find lost treasure.

Let's go do it.

Captain, hurry!

Contact!

If you have a god, pray.

We have forwarded!

Tabar, I'm beginning to see your point.

Gallant fight.

Gallant fight!

Listen, Tana.

It's better to leave treasure buried than get buried with it.

We can't turn back!

Oh, yeah?

Watch us.

Lower the sails!

Come on, let's go! You heard him! Lower the sails!

Untie those ropes!

The sails won't unfurl!

Something has hold of them.

And she won't let you go.

We are here, the cove.

Next, we need to reach and cross this lake marked by the snaky line, then on

to this next curious point, what appears to be a screaming face.

Wonderful. Then finally, what appears to be a tunnel leading to this small

pyramid. Pyramid?

Some 300 years ago, when Hytria was alive, she practiced the Egyptian art.

black art.

And her practices linger here.

Great. There is one more thing I feel I should mention.

It's like this.

It's a pitria.

Legend has it that it possesses complex mystical power.

Turn it over.

You. It does indeed.

This is the reason I thought you out to take me here. As I said, it is our

destiny. The same legend has it that you used this to kill her unfaithful lover,

Lucius, and his mistress.

You see that?

See what?

All right, Tanner.

Is there anything else you haven't told me?

We can't release our sails, which means that something has control of our ship.

And I want our ship back.

We're going ashore.

Why did Caracol's men attack?

Trained to attack everyone, Empress.

Not everyone.

They were unaware of the possibility it was him.

Possibility?

Look at me.

It is him.

Him. We can hope so, Empress.

If he surpasses all the tests, then he will have proved himself.

He will.

I've seen his face.

This one will not fail.

He's finally returning to me.

Yes, Empress.

Returning to us all.

This must be the lake.

Well, this raft will be swimming. Not by much.

Let's start across.

Here you are.

Something's approaching.

From which direction?

I'm not sure, but it's something that intends us harm.

I don't see anything.

Let's keep moving. There's definitely something.

What was that?

What was what?

There!

It must be the snake shape on the map.

It appears to be heading right for us.

Any guess to what this could be?

It appears to have properties not unlike certain species of eel. Which would be?

The ability to generate a charge.

Should it also possess an eel's needle -like teeth, it could be very dangerous.

How dangerous?

It uses its teeth to transmit a charge.

A direct charge has been known to kill him.

Sinme, another one.

I think I got it.

There appears to be a school of them.

Someone should teach them a lesson.

And so, they're all around us.

They should join forces and attack in the round. I get the picture, Peruse.

Hack at them.

Create a disturbance.

Keep him away!

Run

to

the rescue again.

Yes indeed.

How did she do that? Don't ask.

Good work, Bryn.

Simba.

Sinbad. What?

You were gone for a moment.

Let's move it.

We're going to go to shore before something else sets us in its sights.

Let's go.

Sinbad.

It's a wonderful name.

The woman appears to be very resourceful.

Even power.

She is at that.

With her help, he may succeed, Empress.

Will the others have failed?

Keep going.

We can hope so.

What is she to him, do you know?

What are you asking, and why are you asking it?

I was only hoping... I know of your hopes, Kasha.

Of your ambitions.

Your words betray you.

Let me help you with that.

Another woman stole from me the love of my life.

Forcing me to kill them both.

But I kept hold of my life.

Kept hold of it until he would return to me.

Return and join our hearts together.

Forever.

And Sinbad is that man.

Isn't he?

Empress, I... I'm at your service. I desire only to serve.

And never mention her name again.

I would do more than that.

Only Sinbad needs to survive the challenge.

Unlike before, with your rival out of the way, his heart would be open

only to you.

Hmm.

Kill only her.

You may need the others to survive the challenge.

I'll see to it.

Next, we look for a screaming face.

Couldn't be a happy face, could it? Any thoughts on the nature of this face?

None. Not exactly X marks the spot now, is it?

Maybe Dermot can find something.

It's worth a try.

It lies east of here.

That's for certain.

East it is.

Your men in place? They are. The trap is set. The woman will die.

There's been a change in plan. She wants them all killed.

But he's got the first... Kill them all.

Or face her wrath.

It will be done.

Go then. Do it.

Good men, my rival.

Is that map to scale?

Well done.

Go ahead.

Any sign of Dermot?

Behind us.

Behind us?

He must have passed it.

I don't think so.

But there's definitely something over there.

Why is he circling?

He's warning us.

Dubar, get Rongar.

What is happening?

I'm about to find out.

Rongar!

Want me to go hurry them along? No.

Stay here and arm yourself.

Put this gold knife to use.

Wait. Afraid I've never used a weapon.

It's time you learned.

Stronger!

Oh, God.

No!

No!

You again.

But you get what?

Because you like your odds, huh?

The odds just shifted.

Come on.

Get wrong guard and get back to the others.

Quickly, get the others.

He tried to kill me.

It's called an ambush.

Welcome to the world of treasure hunting.

I

was

able to capture him. He was trying to get off the island.

You thought you could escape?

I have waited lifetimes for this man.

And you thought that you could deny me?

Defy me?

Then you will die for me.

Empress, I will make amends you have only to command.

Yes, you will.

Soon they will enter the fortress.

I want you to lead Sinbad the rest of the way.

He must succeed on his own.

Prove himself without assistance.

If not, a curse will fall upon us that has been written.

The next test is the Tunnel of Fire.

Lead him.

Or die with him.

Screaming face.

One only a mother could love.

Appears to be venting some sort of volcanic activity.

Just keep getting better and better.

I say we cut our losses and get out of here.

Where to?

Our sails are still spellbound.

Until the spell is broken, we're stuck here.

That must be the tunnel entrance.

Let's get started.

Like I said, things get better and better.

Stop it.

Stop it.

Follow me. I have no time to lose. Who are you? I have no time to explain.

Do not follow me. We'll all lose our lives. Come.

Now. Now. He was wearing a Roman uniform. I don't care what he was

Can we trust him? I feel we have no choice. The danger he spoke of is real.

Let's go.

I am the goddess of eternal fire.

I command you to rise.

Rise.

What is it?

It's our death.

We don't lose the option. Turn on.

Oh, great fire of death.

Protector of the colony.

Another attempt at the challenge.

Is he worthy?

He's heading right for us!

Nowhere to go!

This way!

Follow me, quickly!

Go! Go! Go!

Go!

Nearly got roasted back there.

And we appear to have lost our guide.

But we found our pyramid.

Oh, something went wrong here.

Losing your love of treasure, are you?

I am not here for treasure.

I am here to unearth the past.

To unravel the mystery of antiquity. To find Hytria, the banished empress who

devoted herself to Everturnity.

Evert what?

Everturnity.

Immortality. Hytria longed to make herself immortal.

What are these?

Her failed experiments?

Whatever they are, we need to press on.

He's the one that's been collecting skull.

At least he's on a chain.

It's a long chain.

Bruce, guard Tanner.

The rest of us spread out.

There's a lot of us.

He seems to have

the edge with that weapon.

Yeah. He's a little slow on the backswing.

Everybody take a bite out.

Any slices?

Charge him. Ah!

Are you all right?

Us? How about you?

Haven't had time to find out.

Congratulations. Who's the last of your challenge?

Who are you? Yeah.

Let's start there.

My name is Casher.

I'm the centurion of the Empress's guard.

An Empress still rules here? The only one who ever ruled here.

Hytria.

Marvelous. Truly marvelous. I mean, she succeeded.

Succeeded. And she's the one who controls my boat.

She does.

She controls everything on this island. Then I want to see her. Yes, might we

see her?

I am to lead you there.

For us, she lives.

Lives.

I know that look.

Then you know we're still in danger.

Maybe age has mellowed her.

Maybe not.

The Empress Hytria.

My name is Sinbad. I know your name.

Know everything about you.

Kasha, prepare a feast for Sinbad and his friends.

Emperor, might I say that all honor is ours to be in your presence.

I have so much to ask you. In due time.

But first I would like to speak with your brave captain privately.

Yes. We do need to talk.

Lead them to their quarters.

You will be made most comfortable.

Come, this way.

Be cautious.

Have you ever known me to be otherwise?

Always.

You seem close with her.

My crew and my ship are my life.

Something has a grip on them, and I think you know what I'm talking about.

I know all that needs to be known.

About life.

And long.

It's you.

Yes.

And I have something else to show you.

I don't understand.

Who is this?

This is Lucius.

The light of my life all these long years.

I kept him here this way as a means of remembrance.

But now... I no longer need him.

About my ship.

Enjoy yourselves.

Regal blender.

Not bad if I say so myself.

Sure. Lap up the bounty.

This way.

I have a separate lounge for you.

I may be the only friend you have here.

Trust me, or you will all die.

Are you happy now?

Yes.

Are you content?

Yes.

Soon we'll enter the column of flames and bathe in its nurturing light.

The blue blaze of eternal life.

You have come back to me.

She'll kill you all.

She once only said that.

And I want to be him.

Yep. I could get used to this.

The Empress said that herself.

Try some of this wine, Tana. No, I'm just going to favor all this.

Roman culture.

That is finest.

Tastes a little bitter.

What is that scent?

Rick, come join us.

We need to keep our wits about us. All of us. Come on, Brynn. When in Rome...

Dubar, this isn't what it seems.

Pitri intends to keep Sinbad here. No one keeps Sinbad against his will.

And what if his will is taken away from him? What are you suggesting?

Now I recognize what the scent is. It's snake root.

Snake root is a powerful opiate. One that induces sleep.

Pitri intends to kill us.

I'll try and alert Sinbad to what's going on.

You three try and stay awake.

Peruse, isn't there something you can do? We didn't drink much. If we eat, we

may be able to offset the snake roots effect. Not a bad idea.

Kasha?

Yes, Empress?

Take care of the others.

So soon?

They will present no problem.

Only I deserve eternal life.

It is time, my love.

Let no one enter.

They're coming!

Seize them all!

We can't do this.

These men completed their challenge. Roman justice must be served. Exactly,

Christians being thrown to the lions.

Roman justice at its finest.

Maybe we'll have to serve up some new justice.

What might that be?

Hurry!

Tanner, go get Sinbad and Grin now!

Here is the rest of our life my love.

The eternity that only the blue flames can give us.

Join in that life with me.

I need to see my captain. No one enters.

Come with me.

Be with me.

Together, forever.

Simba! Simba!

Simba!

Sinbad.

Sinbad. Lucius.

Come with me. Be with me.

Sinbad, no.

Don't listen to her.

Lucius.

Come with me.

Be with me.

That's the throne room. Wherever he's going, we're going.

You can't do that.

His life is elsewhere.

His life is mine.

It's the knife of Lucius. Only he could end my life.

For this, you will all feed the fire.

The crew have been drugged. They're in danger.

That'll find them and get out of here.

Come on.

You will die first.

About to meet her maker.

Get back!

It's my destiny to die here!

But you must escape!

This is not over yet.

Oh, yes, it is.

Where is Sinbad?

Gone.

His false love has destroyed me.

Again, the betrayal.

Again, the need for punishment.

Let them go.

Redeem yourself with a final act of nobility.

Kill him!

Empress, I try to defend this.

But you know their powers!

They're still us. Take me into the blue flames. Let us live eternally. I am

loyal.

You speak of loyalty?

Of the eternal?

Now I must destroy my enemies and my empire because you

let them escape.

I am the goddess

of eternal fire.

I command you to rise.

Rise!

Stand back. She's going to... Just keep moving. Go.

Oh, great protector of the colony.

If I die, everything dies with me.

Looks like the lost citrine colony's lost for good.

Gone well and good.

She finally let go.

Tana was right.

Her destiny was somehow tied to hers.

She was waiting for the wrong man.

Yes.

She was.

I'm glad.

Makes two of us.

We have full sail again, Captain.

Not much of a treasure hunt, was it?

I'm not so sure. Been an optimist, Varun?

No reeling.

Franklin, but weak instead of right.

Let go back, big fella.

The town is filled with pirates, so Shanghai you in a heartbeat.

Next time on The Adventures of Sinbad.

Brian, Shanghai me.

Put the floor down.

I just get this image of them being surrounded by sharks.

Boys, boys.

We're all in this boat together.

We're all to be beheaded.

Part of the entertainment.

It's time for your last meal.

Mind if I heat it up a bit?

It's been bad.

My pirate friend.

Disarm the guests, will you?

We only have until noon before all hell breaks loose.

So we have a traitor in our midst.
