Coming up next on The Adventures of Sinman. I'm here to pick up a prisoner

the behest of the Sultan. I fear this assassin.

He's part of a larger group that means to bring down our kingdoms to destroy

progress.

I'm not leaving the cell.

You? Don't you see?

They'll kill me before I reach the Sultan.

Put me down, you big ape! Something's burning.

No! Ow!

I think you've just signed your own death warrant.

They're trying to burn us out.

The sea is on fire.

They've escaped, haven't they?

I know they won't let us reach too far alive.

Nice place for an ambush.

I'm beginning to think that this Sinbad is more than just a mere sailor.

They're taking me to my death.

Not if you're innocent.

Do you really think I'll get a fair trial?

They should gather safely to the Sultan.

Sidbad has butchered your aid, sire, and four of my men.

When Sidbad shows his face in the farm, I'll kill him down for the dog he is.

I'm pleased the Sultan has chosen such a trustworthy man.

I hope I can live up to my reputation.

Prince of Quanah was like a brother to me.

Our neighboring kingdoms under the Sultan's domain were...

The two glittering jewels in his crown.

His assassination hurt me deeply.

As it did the Sultan.

Yes, I'm afraid he doesn't know the half of it, though.

You see, the Prince and I both worked diligently together to modernize our

kingdoms.

To do away with the older, harsher ways of ruling.

A good plan.

Yes, but...

One that has left us vulnerable.

You see, I fear this assassin is part of a larger group that means to bring down

our kingdoms, to destroy our progress.

Who knows, I may be their next intended victim.

Or worse, the Sultan.

All this shit come out in the trial.

One can only hope.

My prisoner.

Safe.

Well guarded.

My man will show you the way, and I will join you in Defar for the trial.

Justice will be served, Prince Fiend.

I'm here to pick up a prisoner at the behest of the Sultan.

Ha ha ha ha!

I'm not leaving the cell.

You? You're the Sultan's man.

They'll kill me.

I didn't hurt anybody.

And I'm not leaving the cell.

Don't you see?

They'll kill me before I reach the Sultan.

Who's they?

The ones who killed my prince.

People say you're responsible.

People say what they're told to say.

Well, we'll see if we can figure all this out on the way.

Oh, I'm not going.

Maybe a sea voyage will calm me down. Put me down, you big ape. They'll kill

and you too.

Put me down.

Down. Put me down.

What's wrong?

Nothing.

Something's burning.

I recognize.

That smell.

I think you've just signed your own death warrant.

Sinbad?

Something up?

I'm not sure.

Something's moving on the cliffs. Dust is rising, but... Catapult! They're

firing something at us!

All hands!

Secure the ship!

Prepare for an attack.

What kind of attack?

Well, we'll find out soon.

Dubar, steer clear of shore.

That was a close one.

It's lap oil.

Rungar, cover it now.

Go.

Strip those sails and let's get out of here.

Zubar, hurry!

Zinbad!

Secure that rigging now!

What do you see? What do you see?

They're trying to burn us out.

They're doing a darn good job, too.

The

bar?

The sea is on fire!

We're about to be a floating bonfire!

The planes are nearly on us.

We don't have enough wind to outrun it.

Red, get the prisoner on deck.

Logar, propel the longboat.

Scuttle the nomad. We may not have a choice.

The plane's out. Move!

Help him!

Do you need help?

Wait! Run!

Run!

Run! Run!

Run! Run! Run!

Run!

Firestorm's breathing its own wind.

We're going to use it.

Yes!

We're outrunning it!

Just a goose egg.

Do you know who's behind us?

But I know they won't let us reach the far alive.

Bruce, take the prisoner back down below.

We can sail away, never go to the far.

No one will miss me.

Don't you understand?

I understand I have a job to do. And I intend to do it.

Perfect. They picked a toy soldier for a suicide run.

How does... Dead meat sound as a nickname.

About your taste in women.

Well, she's right about the nickname.

Someone's out to stop us.

Dead. Any ideas?

Well, it could be the real killer.

Or it could be friends out to rescue her.

You think she's part of a rebel group?

The prince mentioned it.

He's been soldiering for years.

Things just keep getting better and better. Yeah.

Any insights?

Well, she knows more than what she's saying.

She's scared, angry, and she doesn't trust any of us.

I don't trust her.

Aside from the pleasant atmosphere that generates, what do we do now?

We can't just sail up the coast with a rebel group waiting to sink us.

And we won't.

Rungar!

Head for those cliffs.

We'll drop anchor out of sight from the mainland.

Change of plan?

Big change.

We're taking Dara in by land.

And once we drop anchor, you and Faroose take the longboat in. Get to town.

Now let Veeden know about the new course.

Come!

Good news?

They've escaped, haven't they?

First the jail, now the archers. You know, I'm beginning to think that this

Sinbad is more than just a mere sailor.

Two of Sinbad's men came ashore.

They think the girl's in league with a rebel band.

They're going to take the trip on land to avoid any of her rebel friends.

They need a map.

Excellent.

And I have just the route.

Yes.

The longboat's back.

Did you get a message to V? That we did. And got supplies.

Great. Did you get a map?

Better. I got us a guide.

The name's Sinbad.

I'm Tarsus.

Glad to meet you.

I hope Farouz has told you we've already been attacked.

Hey, it was life without a little danger.

I'll undo those who promise to behave.

I'll take off the first chance I get.

Now, why doesn't that surprise me?

If you were smart, you'd do the same.

If she tries to escape, I know just what to do.

No!

You've chosen the shorter route. I have.

Good. But the shortest route is often the most dangerous.

Well, as you've said, what's life without a little danger?

Keep your eyes open. What are you expecting?

The unexpected.

This is no place to stop.

Nice place for an ambush.

Dismount! Take cover!

Go! Go!

Come on!

We're trapped!

Don't count on it. We need to return some of their fire.

Bruce! It's time for your toys.

Good.

Your flint!

That's close.

Lucky guess.

We're going to go around behind them.

There's nothing back there but a big valley.

I'm carrying my own bridge.

I need five minutes.

Not a problem.

Are

you

all right?

I'd be a lot better if you don't chain me.

He's leaving.

Hey! Take me with you! Hey!

That hurt.

Now that, I believe.

Let's load him up.

Now what do we do?

Wait for Sinbad.

Thank you.

Not much longer!

Let's get ready to roll.

I sense treachery, Your Highness.

This girl Dara is part of a large rebel group.

The kingdom of Quanah is seething with unrest and threatening to undermine my

very own Incapolo. With all due respect, sire.

It was a mistake to create two sister kingdoms when one larger one under a

strong ruler would be. Yes, yes.

But I know this girl. The late prince trusted her.

I find it difficult to believe that she is responsible.

Whoa. It's dead.

Night is almost here.

Let's make camp.

Release her manacle.

Aren't you afraid I'll run off?

There's nowhere to run.

I served you well in war as your general, did I not, sire?

Then permit me to march into Quanah and stamp out this rebellion before it

spreads. I know that what you say makes sense, your honor.

But I will talk to this girl first.

And if she is guilty, like you say, then maybe she can be persuaded to give us

the names of the other rebels.

Yes, but, sire... I may be growing old, Pidan, but I am not growing soft.

Remember, I led my generals into battle.

Now, if this girl has any information, I will get it from her by whatever means

necessary.

So, we will wait for Sinbad.

And then decide if we are to have a formal trial.

As you wish, sir.

Tarsus had better be sure that the girl in Sinbad never arrived.

I wouldn't worry about it, my prince.

He's taking him into the dead zone.

I'm not trying to escape.

I didn't think you were.

So what now?

Questions? You want all the lurid details?

What is your problem? You're my problem.

You're taking me to my death.

Not if you're innocent.

Do you really think I'll get a fair trial?

It won't kill you to trust somebody.

It might.

It might wind up killing you too.

All of you.

You need a little more than that.

I didn't murder the prince.

He was a kind man.

A friend.

After my father's death, I found myself penniless.

I became a barmaid.

That's how the prince met me.

But it didn't matter to him.

He liked me.

He called me his diamond in the rough.

My father was a merchant, so I knew a few languages and a little math.

The prince sent me to Tudors.

When I returned, he let me advise him on his subjects.

He trusted my judgment when it came to dealing with his people.

He wanted them to be able to make wise decisions about their lives.

Sounds like a good man.

Too good.

It cost him his life.

The night he was killed, I was supposed to meet him.

I got there early.

And I saw...

Don't you see?

He believed in me.

He was the first person ever to believe in me.

And I watched him die.

I couldn't save him.

We all believe in you.

That's why we want to get you to Tafar safe and sound.

Okay?

Now, the real killer.

It was so dark, I could hardly see.

Sinbad, something's coming!

What is it? It's something big and mean.

Follow me.

A wagon.

Someone.

Let

me

see if you're alive.

We've ridden out worse storms.

Everything's pulverized.

It'll all be replaced for ruse.

The horses?

They're okay.

Mount up.

I want to be halfway to Defar before that thing comes back.

Excellent plan.

Sinbad and the prisoner have been spotted near the dead zone.

What?

But his ship is approaching from the south.

Vedan, how can this be?

It's as I feared, sire.

I've had my suspicions about this Sinbad since the beginning. I believe he's in

league with these assassins. No, no.

His reputation is unblemished. Hear me out, sire.

Sinbad's first allegiance is to the Caliph of Baghdad.

If anything were to happen to you...

and your empire were to collapse, the Caliph would simply walk in and pick up

the pieces as his own without declaring a war.

Oh, unlikely, Vidar.

Still, the Caliph is known for his intrigue. His empire did not just

There is some logic in your words, Vidar.

Then permit me to send men to meet Simbad and to bring him back to the

under guard.

If there is an explanation for his strange behavior, he could tell us

All right. I will allow this.

But, Sahim, my own aid will accompany your men.

I'll see to it immediately, sir.

What's up?

Men on horseback headed this way.

I'll ride ahead to meet them.

It could be a trap.

Or it could be emissaries from the Sultan.

We're not that far from the city.

There's only one way to find out.

What are you doing?

Just once, I'd like an easy day.

Let's go.

The men headed back to the palace.

This doesn't sound good.

I'm beginning to believe her.

The night of the murder.

Is there anything more you can remember?

It was dark.

The killer saw me.

He came after me.

I took a knife and plunged it into his left arm.

He screamed.

That voice.

I couldn't see his face, but I'll never forget that voice.

It sounded like a snake hissing.

Prince Veedan.

Tarsus!

I'm all right.

You've been set up.

Big time.

Whoa! Whoa!

Sinbad has butchered your aid, sire, and four of my men.

I can't believe this.

Here lies the proof, sire.

Sire.

Sire. A man bold enough to slay the messenger of the sultan must be mad. He

but one goal.

To kill you.

To throw your empire into chaos and deliver it to his caliph.

But he must realize that we know his plan.

Let me handle Sinbad and this murderous woman put me in command of your guard,

sire.

But you must act discreetly.

He may have other assassins in the land.

They must not be alerted.

We'll leave the gates to the city open. They'll suspect nothing.

When Sinbad shows his face in Dafar, we'll cut him down for the dog he is.

But this must not seem political.

He must be treated as a...

No more than a common criminal.

I find it hard to believe that Sinbad... It's the only way, sire.

Order must be maintained. Your rule must prevail.

It shall be done.

Kill Sinbad and the assassin.

Are they going to be safe in Defar?

The Edens never laid eyes on them.

They'll pass as pilgrims.

Plus, they can take care of themselves.

How are we going to get to the palace?

Brains, skill, cunning, and a great deal of luck.

Go to your homes!

Order to the Sultan!

Here comes trouble.

Maybe not.

A ruse in Rangar should have bought everything we need by now.

Do you think we'll get everything built in time? We don't have much of a choice.

Can you hear me?

We were just on our way out of the park, sir.

We're waiting for our fellow travelers.

We're here!

The town's

crawling with soldiers.

We've got everything we need. Let's get the heck out of here.

Walk on. Walk on.

We'll be riding out now.

Have a nice day.

Still no sign of Sinbad, my prince.

He'll come.

He has to come.

Done.

This should get us safely to the Sultan.

Thank you.

Now, you remember to keep your head down. And you remember to use yours.

Look, in order to steer it, you grab the reins and pull the... I know, I know.

Put her up.

We'll wait until the wagon reaches the outskirts of the bar before we follow.

I saved a couple of exploding sticks in case the guards overwhelm them.

Let's just hope we don't need them.

Just in case we don't make it, I want you to know that I am grateful.

You're not much at rallying the troops, are you?

Rah, rah, rah.

That's better.

Yeah!

Hold on.

To what?

Use your imagination.

I like the way you think.

So far, so good.

Get away!

Get away!

Get away!

A little further.

Okay,

let's go.

We're coming out. We only want to talk.

sent back here alive.

Let them pass!

Your Highness, I've brought your prisoner as you requested.

In spite of the treachery shown by the real killer. What are you waiting for?

Kill them!

The assassins must die!

No!

They must die!

Come on.

Get up.

Your Majesty, no doubt Prince Veedan has told you that assassins prowl your

kingdom.

He has.

He's right.

In fact, the killer of the Prince of Khana now kneels before you.

A killer that was stabbed by a friend of the prince.

Dara, who after seeing the prince die, plunged a knife into the killer's arm.

A wound that no doubt hasn't had time to heal.

A wound

that would be reopened.

During a duel.

Sire.

Guards!

Him!

Oh.

I like the way you think.

Rah, rah, rah.

You're going to miss her, aren't you?

Yeah.

She kind of grows on you.

Well, she'll be able to go back and help her people now.

The Sultan's named her as chief advisor on dealing with his subjects in both

kingdoms.

Well, he's going to be in for quite a shock.

How so?

Can you imagine two kingdoms worth of people with Dara's attitude?

Still.

She was pretty.

And smart.

And the courage she showed.

Well, sure, but really, she didn't have much of a choice.

Well, I don't know. She could have run away at any time. But she didn't.

Beauty and brains.

And every inch a lady.

We don't find much of that in this world anymore.

Well, I don't see any of you killing yourselves looking.

Very funny.

Not you, too.

Take cover!

Next time on The Adventures of Sinbad.

Wait!

I'm not going to hurt you!

Bring them!

The Minotaur needs to be fed! Half man, half bull monster.

But that's just a myth.

Sure, tell that to the monster when he's eating your flesh.

A trial will be held today.

What do you figure the odds are we'll be found innocent?

Farouk, get away from there.

Somebody help me. No.

He knows that whomever gets the axe can contest his rule.

You may have the axe. If you pass my test.

Think carefully and act quickly.

Her trial will now begin.

Guilty. Wait. I have the axe of Poseidon.

I demand my right to enter the maze.

Hold a minute off.

Just do it.
