Few moons past. 374 00:34:54,400 --> 00:34:56,400 That's strange. I'm usually rather good with faces. 375 00:34:57,400 --> 00:35:01,376 There are parts of the Beneath you can't go without my permission. 376 00:35:01,400 --> 00:35:04,376 We spoke briefly. Not sure if you were listening. 377 00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:07,400 - That was terribly rude of me. - Well, I've got your attention now. 378 00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:13,400 Looking at you now, you do remind me of someone. 379 00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:16,400 You don't have a brother by any chance, do you? 380 00:35:19,400 --> 00:35:22,400 I used to. A long time ago. 381 00:35:24,400 --> 00:35:28,376 - So, how can I help you? - I thought you sent for me. 382 00:35:28,400 --> 00:35:32,376 - Come now, let's not be coy. - Well, you weren't, were you? 383 00:35:32,400 --> 00:35:35,376 You killed my entire cohort. 384 00:35:35,400 --> 00:35:38,376 You were ignoring me, even after I sent you a present. 385 00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:43,400 Oh, the witch! Yes, very helpful. If a little costly. 386 00:35:44,400 --> 00:35:47,376 You couldn't tell me the thing I needed. 387 00:35:47,400 --> 00:35:48,400 And what was that? 388 00:35:51,400 --> 00:35:53,400 Where's the Lake of Tears? 389 00:36:01,400 --> 00:36:03,400 Join me. 390 00:36:07,400 --> 00:36:11,376 So how exactly does the Lake of Tears concern you? 391 00:36:11,400 --> 00:36:14,376 Well, it doesn't especially. Not in itself. 392 00:36:14,400 --> 00:36:17,376 Well, I'm looking for someone, and they're headed there. 393 00:36:17,400 --> 00:36:19,376 - Who told you that? The witch? - Exactly. 394 00:36:19,400 --> 00:36:21,376 Apparently, it's in some prophecy, 395 00:36:21,400 --> 00:36:25,376 I can't be doing with the buggers, but, don't ask me how... 396 00:36:25,400 --> 00:36:28,376 This one has an uncanny knack of always getting things right. 397 00:36:28,400 --> 00:36:32,376 - So, what's it say? The prophecy. - Oh, most of it was lost on me. 398 00:36:32,400 --> 00:36:35,376 Two brothers. One betrayed the other. Or did he? 399 00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:37,376 Who cares? But then it gets good. 400 00:36:37,400 --> 00:36:42,400 A maiden. Daughter of a blind father. A chosen one. 401 00:36:43,400 --> 00:36:47,376 - That caught my attention. - So what would want with the maiden? 402 00:36:47,400 --> 00:36:52,376 - That's private. So, can you help me? - What do I get? 403 00:36:52,400 --> 00:36:54,400 You want the Druid. I want the maiden. 404 00:36:55,400 --> 00:37:00,400 I have your brother Conan. Cut off, his whole world is God's. 405 00:37:01,400 --> 00:37:02,377 His death. His prophecy. 406 00:37:02,401 --> 00:37:06,400 The whole story, it's about to come crashing down. 407 00:37:07,400 --> 00:37:11,376 So, your maiden's strong, wise. 408 00:37:11,400 --> 00:37:14,376 She's been out there a long time, learnt things. 409 00:37:14,400 --> 00:37:17,400 Her powers grow with every passing day. 410 00:37:18,400 --> 00:37:22,376 To catch her is not like catching a fly or a fish. 411 00:37:22,400 --> 00:37:26,400 It's like trying to catch smoke. You have to be sly. 412 00:37:27,400 --> 00:37:28,400 Quick, like the wind. 413 00:37:30,400 --> 00:37:33,376 She's headed for the Lake of Tears. Where is it? 414 00:37:33,400 --> 00:37:36,376 - Leave the girl to me. - Where's the Lake of Tears? 415 00:37:36,400 --> 00:37:41,400 Leave the girl to me. Unless that is, you don't trust me. 416 00:37:43,400 --> 00:37:48,400 You know, I do remember you now. You told me life was about three things. 417 00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:50,400 What were they? 418 00:37:51,400 --> 00:37:53,400 Number one, everything born will die. 419 00:37:55,400 --> 00:37:58,400 Number two... 420 00:38:00,400 --> 00:38:03,376 ...everything you see, everything you hear, 421 00:38:03,400 --> 00:38:07,400 everything you've ever learned, everything around you, is a lie. 422 00:38:08,400 --> 00:38:10,376 I said that? 423 00:38:10,400 --> 00:38:13,376 You did. And you know what? I think you're bang on. 424 00:38:13,400 --> 00:38:17,400 The leaves, the trees, the apples, everything. 425 00:38:18,400 --> 00:38:23,376 I'll let you into a secret. This isn't the real world. 426 00:38:23,400 --> 00:38:24,400 The real world... 427 00:38:26,400 --> 00:38:28,376 ...is my master's garden. 428 00:38:28,400 --> 00:38:32,400 It's more perfect, more beautiful than you or any Druids could ever imagine. 429 00:38:33,400 --> 00:38:35,400 It's what it's all about. 430 00:38:37,400 --> 00:38:39,400 Go on. What's the third thing? 431 00:38:40,400 --> 00:38:42,400 The third thing you told me. Let me see. 432 00:38:44,400 --> 00:38:46,400 The third thing... 433 00:39:07,400 --> 00:39:11,400 Forgive me. It's been so long since I had good company. 434 00:39:16,400 --> 00:39:18,400 You want to know where the lake is? 435 00:39:20,400 --> 00:39:23,400 - I do. - You really want to know? 436 00:39:24,400 --> 00:39:27,400 All right, friend, Lake of Tears... 437 00:39:34,400 --> 00:39:36,400 It's here. 438 00:39:54,400 --> 00:39:56,400 Oh, thank you.
