A full moon occurs in mid heavens two days later. 45 00:04:11,418 --> 00:04:12,874 Is that also good? 46 00:04:13,211 --> 00:04:14,667 No my lord, that is bad, 47 00:04:17,048 --> 00:04:21,633 but

for him to attack. 54 00:04:42,824 --> 00:04:45,361 The stars give signs of victory. 55 00:04:47,913 --> 00:04:51,076 However there is something that worries me. 56 00:04:52,042 --> 00:04:53,042 Yes? 57 00:04:56,630 --> 00:05:00,088 The planets, especially Jupiter and Venus. 58 00:05:01,092 --> 00:05:02,092 What does that mean? 59 00:05:03,678 --> 00:05:07,546 Because of the position of Jupiter to Venus, 60 00:05:08,725 --> 00:05:11,387 the planet Mars is in decline. 61 00:05:11,728 --> 00:05:12,728 That is bad. 62 00:05:13,563 --> 00:05:15,474 No my lord sultan, that is good, 63 00:05:16,608

than that. 71 00:05:33,667 --> 00:05:36,079 Thank you, chief astrologer, you've been a big help. 72 00:05:53,395 --> 00:05:54,601 Where is general sargon? 73 00:05:55,689 --> 00:05:57,850 I must speak with someone who is sane. 74 00:05:59,484 --> 00:06:01,644 The general is at camp with his troops, your majesty. 75 00:06:01,736 --> 00:06:02,851 I'll leave at once. 76 00:06:03,196 --> 00:06:04,936 No, no, I'll go myself. 77 00:06:06,533 --> 00:06:07,613 I need some fresh air. 78 00:06:07,951 --> 00:06:09,407 Tell the sultana I'm gone. 79 00:06:09,703 --> 00:06:12,115 As soon as she returns, your majesty. 80 00:06:12,455 --> 00:06:14,571 The sultana Rose early and is out for a ride. 81 00:07:04,591 --> 00:07:06,471 Meanwhile, the sultan was galloping 82 00:07:06,718 --> 00:07:08,674 towards sargon's camp. 83 00:07:23,902 --> 00:07:25,392 Do you like surprises? 84 00:07:26,613 --> 00:07:29,070 Yes, tell me. 85 00:07:30,575 --> 00:07:31,575 You are sure? 86 00:07:32,661 --> 00:07:33,661 Yes, what is it? 87 00:07:35,330 --> 00:07:36,820 I'll show you. 88 00:07:46,299 --> 00:07:47,505 He's a gift. 89 00:07:48,510 --> 00:07:49,625 Is he bigger than you? 90 00:07:52,055 --> 00:07:53,055 Bigger? 91 00:07:54,057 --> 00:07:56,548 Look, see for yourself. 92 00:12:41,261 --> 00:12:44,003 As the sultan approached general sargon's tent, 93 00:12:44,347 --> 00:12:45,837 he stopped and for a moment, 94 00:12:46,182 --> 00:12:48,889 he thought he heard the voice of the sultana. 95 00:12:49,227 --> 00:12:50,387 It was impossible. 96 00:12:50,728 --> 00:12:51,968 Then, he heard it again, 97 00:12:52,313 --> 00:12:54,474 and in a timber that was particular to her, 98 00:12:54,816 --> 00:12:56,306 only on certain occasions. 99 00:12:57,777 --> 00:12:59,017 The sultan's heart sank. 100 00:13:14,210 --> 00:13:16,451 Stealthfully he crept up and with his dagger, 101 00:13:16,754 --> 00:13:18,585 he made a slit in the tent. 102 00:13:18,923 --> 00:13:21,881 Gathering his courage, he looked inside. 103 00:13:22,218 --> 00:13:23,958 It was worse than he imagined. 104 00:13:24,304 --> 00:13:27,922 His most trusted ally and his beloved sultana 105 00:13:28,266 --> 00:13:31,554 were uniting against him and plotting his overthrow. 106 00:15:50,992 --> 00:15:52,778 The sultan watched and listened. 107 00:15:53,119 --> 00:15:55,610 In this way, he learned their plans 108 00:15:55,955 --> 00:15:57,695 and being ready, defeated them. 109 00:16:16,809 --> 00:16:20,518 The sultan celebrated his victory with lust and full joy. 110 00:16:20,855 --> 00:16:24,143 So long did he brood over the betrayal by his wife 111 00:16:24,484 --> 00:16:25,940 that he eventually became persuaded 112 00:16:26,277 --> 00:16:28,108 that no woman was to be trusted. 113 00:16:31,199 --> 00:16:32,860 He resolved that each night, 114 00:16:33,201 --> 00:16:35,567 he would choose a girl from his harem 115 00:16:35,912 --> 00:16:38,198 and after passing one night with her, 116 00:16:38,539 --> 00:16:40,700 she would be strangled in the morning. 117 00:16:41,042 --> 00:16:43,374 This, he believed, would be a sure cure 118 00:16:43,669 --> 00:16:46,160 against any future disloyalty. 119 00:17:53,114 --> 00:17:54,945 Every night before supper, 120 00:17:55,283 --> 00:17:56,648 the harem keeper would approach 121 00:17:56,993 --> 00:17:59,109 with a basket filled with tiles. 122 00:17:59,453 --> 00:18:01,910 A girl's name was inscribed on each tile 123 00:18:02,248 --> 00:18:04,705 and once picked, her fate was sealed. 124 00:18:05,042 --> 00:18:07,158 Tonight would be her last night on earth. 125 00:18:09,130 --> 00:18:10,148 Who is your choice 126 00:18:10,172 --> 00:18:11,292 for tonight, my lord sultan? 127 00:18:12,883 --> 00:18:15,590 Sheherrazod, you have been chosen. 128 00:18:23,644 --> 00:18:25,509 Sheherrazod knew what was to come 129 00:18:25,855 --> 00:18:29,097 and promised herself that with her, it would be different. 130 00:23:12,474 --> 00:23:15,637 As she was being prepared, she devised her plan 131 00:23:15,978 --> 00:23:17,969 and resolved not to be dead in the morning. 132 00:23:19,773 --> 00:23:23,516 Her plan depended on arousing the sultan's curiosity. 133 00:23:34,747 --> 00:23:35,827 Sheherrazod. 134 00:24:44,149 --> 00:24:45,559 How old are you, my child? 135 00:24:46,568 --> 00:24:47,603 19, my lord. 136 00:24:57,246 --> 00:24:58,246 It's a pity. 137 00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:02,160 How did you come to my harem? 138 00:25:02,501 --> 00:25:04,412 I was a gift, great sultan. 139 00:25:04,753 --> 00:25:07,836 An assyrian gave me to you in order to insure safe passage 140 00:25:08,173 --> 00:25:09,173 for his caravans. 141 00:25:11,927 --> 00:25:12,967 The assyrian was a fool. 142 00:25:19,059 --> 00:25:20,970 You're worth much more than that. 143 00:25:21,311 --> 00:25:22,551 Thank you, my lord master. 144 00:25:23,856 --> 00:25:25,141 It's custom that you entertain. 145 00:25:26,900 --> 00:25:27,980 Do you have talent? 146 00:25:29,111 --> 00:25:31,523 Some say I do. 147 00:25:31,864 --> 00:25:32,864 Do you dance? 148 00:25:33,699 --> 00:25:34,905 No, my lord master. 149 00:25:36,118 --> 00:25:37,278 Do you sing? 150 00:25:37,619 --> 00:25:39,860 No my lord, I can neither sing nor dance. 151 00:25:41,165 --> 00:25:42,530 Then what? 152 00:25:42,875 --> 00:25:43,990 I tell stories. 153 00:25:45,002 --> 00:25:46,458 It is my only talent. 154 00:25:47,713 --> 00:25:49,374 I've collected them in my travels. 155 00:25:52,092 --> 00:25:53,753 With your permission, 156 00:25:54,094 --> 00:25:56,255 it would give me great pleasure to tell you one. 157 00:25:58,098 --> 00:25:59,838 I would be consoled on this final night. 158 00:26:02,936 --> 00:26:03,936 Uh, 159 00:26:05,564 --> 00:26:06,679 then tell. 160 00:26:07,024 --> 00:26:08,855 In her effort to stay alive, 161 00:26:09,193 --> 00:26:11,684 sheherrazod began her first story. 162 00:26:12,029 --> 00:26:14,862 The tale concerned a poor and hapless fisherman 163 00:26:15,199 --> 00:26:18,657 who lived in the province of thrace, near the aegean sea. 164 00:26:18,994 --> 00:26:20,700 It was also the Fisherman's misfortune 165 00:26:21,038 --> 00:26:23,996 to have a wife who was a hag 166 00:26:24,333 --> 00:26:28,292 and as fat as an elephant and as ugly as a vulture. 167 00:26:29,671 --> 00:26:33,789 Not only that, but she was vicious and jealous 168 00:26:34,134 --> 00:26:35,614 and the only peace she would allow him 169 00:26:35,886 --> 00:26:37,046 was when he went fishing. 170 00:26:38,806 --> 00:26:40,888 Each day, on the way to the sea, 171 00:26:41,225 --> 00:26:43,591 he would pass the house of a noble woman 172 00:26:43,936 --> 00:26:45,642 and without being seen, 173 00:26:45,979 --> 00:26:48,721 he found that he could look into her window. 174 00:26:49,066 --> 00:26:51,933 This was the only joy in the Fisherman's life 175 00:26:52,277 --> 00:26:55,110 and it seemed enough just to catch a glimpse of her. 176 00:27:00,077 --> 00:27:03,661 Then, there was one day when fate took a hand. 177 00:29:55,627 --> 00:29:59,961 As the fisherman watched, he became as excited as the woman 178 00:30:00,299 --> 00:30:01,960 and all day, while he fished, 179 00:30:02,301 --> 00:30:04,462 he thought about what he had seen. 180 00:30:04,803 --> 00:30:06,634 He believed it was a good omen, 181 00:30:06,972 --> 00:30:09,088 but when he drew in his nets, 182 00:30:09,391 --> 00:30:11,427 he found that he had caught nothing 183 00:30:11,768 --> 00:30:14,510 except a small jar made of yellow copper. 184 00:30:15,689 --> 00:30:19,227 Curiously, he examined the jar on all sides, 185 00:30:19,526 --> 00:30:23,644 shook it and then to satisfy his curiosity, pried it open. 186 00:30:25,324 --> 00:30:28,566 To his amazement, a thick smoke began to billow forth 187 00:30:28,910 --> 00:30:30,320 from the vessel and in fear, 188 00:30:30,662 --> 00:30:33,244 he dropped the jar to the ground, 189 00:30:33,582 --> 00:30:36,540 but the smoke continued to rise, 190 00:30:36,877 --> 00:30:40,836 became a mist and the mist became a solid mass 191 00:30:41,131 --> 00:30:43,167 in the shape of a great genie. 192 00:30:45,719 --> 00:30:48,836 The genie regarded the fisherman with a fierce look 193 00:30:49,181 --> 00:30:53,925 and said, "il will Grant thee two wishes as a reward 194 00:30:55,645 --> 00:30:57,886 "for having set me free, 195 00:30:58,231 --> 00:31:01,564 "but then, because it is my nature, 196 00:31:01,902 --> 00:31:03,517 "I will surely kill thee." 197 00:31:05,572 --> 00:31:08,484 Now the fisherman knew that it was impossible 198 00:31:08,825 --> 00:31:11,817 to argue with a genie so instead, 199 00:31:12,162 --> 00:31:14,278 he began to consider his first wish. 200 00:31:15,707 --> 00:31:18,744 He said it and in the wink of an eye, 201 00:31:19,086 --> 00:31:22,453 he was transported to the noble woman's bed chamber 202 00:31:22,798 --> 00:31:24,914 and the woman seemed to be expecting him. 203 00:31:33,975 --> 00:31:35,636 Did you know I was coming? 204 00:31:35,977 --> 00:31:37,137 I saw you this morning. 205 00:31:40,982 --> 00:31:41,982 You saw me? 206 00:31:42,901 --> 00:31:44,311 Why did you think I did it? 207 00:31:46,822 --> 00:31:49,780 Just now, I had the feeling you'd be back. 208 00:31:52,077 --> 00:31:54,193 Did you do it while I did it? 209 00:31:57,165 --> 00:31:58,165 Yes. 210 00:31:59,751 --> 00:32:02,367 Do you want me to do it again? 211 00:35:33,214 --> 00:35:35,045 The fisherman continued with strength 212 00:35:35,383 --> 00:35:37,123 he never knew he had. 213 00:35:37,469 --> 00:35:39,881 The woman, whose name was triboli, 214 00:35:40,221 --> 00:35:44,385 inspired him and she taught him how and where to kiss her. 215 00:38:16,336 --> 00:38:19,703 Faster 216 00:38:20,048 --> 00:38:21,788 faster 217 00:38:23,092 --> 00:38:25,003 harder 218 00:38:29,224 --> 00:38:31,135 faster 219

00:40:55,411 --> 00:40:59,404 and had him tie her to a chair so he could see what she looked like 224 00:41:30,738 --> 00:41:34,902 And she let him enter her wherever he liked 225 00:41:54,679 --> 00:41:59,139 Afterwards they made love first one way, then another 226 00:42:24,333 --> 00:42:28,372 Suddenly the fisherman heard a noise coming from the next room 227 00:42:28,713 --> 00:42:32,171 my daughters here, would you like to meet them? 228 00:42:34,135 --> 00:42:37,047 Yes I would 229 00:42:51,152 --> 00:42:53,108 Put this on and wait here. 230 00:42:53,446 --> 00:42:54,446 I'll bring

The fisherman couldn't believe 234 00:43:12,340 --> 00:43:14,080 how well things were working out. 235 00:43:19,305 --> 00:43:21,011 Well which one of you is older? 236 00:43:21,349 --> 00:43:22,349 I

251 00:45:21,469 --> 00:45:23,380 take your finger 252 00:45:23,721 --> 00:45:25,507 and rub here until it becomes hard 253 00:45:28,100 --> 00:45:30,341 it's the only way to examine 254 00:47:18,919 --> 00:47:21,160 Take them if you like 255 00:47:21,630 --> 00:47:23,541 they are over eighteen 256 00:52:10,127 --> 00:52:12,743 The fisherman enjoyed himself to the fullest 257 00:52:14,089 --> 00:52:17,331 until at last, exhausted, he closed his eyes 258 00:52:17,676 --> 00:52:19,792 and let himself drift into sleep. 259 00:52:21,847 --> 00:52:26,307 When he opened them again, he was back on the beach 260 00:52:26,644 --> 00:52:28,384 with the genie standing over him. 261 00:52:29,772 --> 00:52:32,479 Tomorrow, the genie said, and he struck 262 00:52:32,816 --> 00:52:35,899 his foot upon the ground which opened 263 00:52:36,236 --> 00:52:39,319 and swallowed him up and closed behind him. 264 00:52:41,200 --> 00:52:44,488 The fisherman was once again alone on the beach 265 00:52:44,828 --> 00:52:49,162 and now he had to think of his second and final wish. 266 00:53:00,302 --> 00:53:01,337 Tell me what it was. 267 00:53:02,721 --> 00:53:04,177 With your majesty's permission, 268 00:53:05,683 --> 00:53:06,683 I don't know. 269 00:53:08,227 --> 00:53:11,060 If you would allow me the afternoon to remember, 270 00:53:11,397 --> 00:53:12,682 I could tell you tomorrow night. 271 00:53:35,713 --> 00:53:37,123 Each night, 272 00:53:37,464 --> 00:53:39,876 sheherrazod told the sultan a new story 273 00:53:40,217 --> 00:53:43,129 and each story she told led to the beginning of another. 274 00:53:44,388 --> 00:53:47,050 Her storytelling always ended at dawn 275 00:53:47,391 --> 00:53:49,302 and curious to hear the next tale, 276 00:53:49,643 --> 00:53:52,476 the sultan put off her execution from day to day. 277 00:53:54,481 --> 00:53:57,348 Her imagination was endless and her creations 278 00:53:57,693 --> 00:54:00,981 included the everlasting characters of Aladdin, 279 00:54:01,321 --> 00:54:05,234 Sinbad and Ali baba and the 40 thieves. 280 00:54:05,576 --> 00:54:09,819 And so Ali baba came to the rock that hid the cave 281 00:54:11,123 --> 00:54:15,913 and he said the magic words, "open, open salame." 282 00:54:19,506 --> 00:54:20,791 No... 283 00:54:21,133 --> 00:54:22,964 In the quiet of the afternoon, 284 00:54:23,302 --> 00:54:27,011 she invented her tales of faraway places and magic events. 285 00:54:28,265 --> 00:54:29,265 Sesame. 286 00:54:31,059 --> 00:54:35,553 I like that, open sesame. 287 00:54:35,856 --> 00:54:37,767 One of her stories told of a prince 288 00:54:38,108 --> 00:54:42,101 who was given as gift, a horse made of pure gold. 289 00:54:42,446 --> 00:54:45,438 On command, the horse would rise and carry the prince 290 00:54:45,783 --> 00:54:48,525 anywhere and at the speed of lightening. 291 00:54:48,869 --> 00:54:51,030 It was nearly dawn when the horse, at last, 292 00:54:51,371 --> 00:54:53,532 descended on solid ground. 293 00:54:53,874 --> 00:54:57,116 The prince found himself thousands of miles from home 294 00:54:57,461 --> 00:54:59,998 and on the terrace of a magnificent palace, 295 00:55:00,339 --> 00:55:01,419 on the island of nippon. 296 00:55:02,966 --> 00:55:04,172 In the dim light, 297 00:55:04,510 --> 00:55:07,252 he found a staircase which led down into an apartment. 298 00:55:08,388 --> 00:55:10,049 He listened at the door 299 00:55:10,390 --> 00:55:12,255 and then advanced cautiously into the room. 300 00:55:50,180 --> 00:55:53,889 There, he saw a beauty so extraordinary 301 00:55:54,226 --> 00:55:55,762 that he fell in love at first sight. 302 00:56:31,263 --> 00:56:32,844 The woman was still asleep 303 00:56:33,181 --> 00:56:35,422 and not able to restrain himself, 304 00:56:35,767 --> 00:56:37,132 he slipped off his clothes 305 00:56:38,270 --> 00:56:40,682 and slipped into bed with her. 306 00:57:15,724 --> 00:57:20,388 The young prince moved the covers aside ever so carefully. 307 00:57:57,224 --> 00:57:58,760 And when he saw her naked, 308 00:58:00,102 --> 00:58:02,388 he was so overwhelmed he could not stop himself 309 00:58:02,729 --> 00:58:03,729 from caressing her. 310 00:58:05,107 --> 00:58:08,144 The woman half woke and pretended the love making 311 00:58:08,485 --> 00:58:11,568 to be coming from her husband whose name was ishido. 312 01:03:25,135 --> 01:03:27,046 Oh ishido 313 01:03:27,846 --> 01:03:29,757 ishido 314 01:03:30,098 --> 01:03:31,963 ishido 315 01:03:52,203 --> 01:03:54,114 Ishido 316 01:03:55,165 --> 01:03:57,952 oh shit! 317 01:04:00,378 --> 01:04:01,378 Did he escape? 318 01:04:02,797 --> 01:04:03,797 Tomorrow. 319 01:04:07,719 --> 01:04:10,426 Before coming into the sultan's possession, 320 01:04:10,764 --> 01:04:13,255 sheherrazod had been owned by a merchant prince. 321 01:04:13,600 --> 01:04:16,182 With him, she had crossed the world twice, 322 01:04:16,478 --> 01:04:18,434 from China to the mediterranean 323 01:04:18,772 --> 01:04:20,603 and had learned languages and mathematics. 324 01:04:22,233 --> 01:04:25,191 She lived for a while in China where she studied sciences 325 01:04:25,528 --> 01:04:27,689 and then in Tibet where she was taught 326 01:04:28,031 --> 01:04:29,987 the secret techniques of kama, 327 01:04:30,325 --> 01:04:33,158 the hindu god of love and pleasure. 328 01:04:33,495 --> 01:04:35,577 Her memory was perfect and her stories were 329 01:04:35,914 --> 01:04:39,281 flights of fantasy mixed with details of her experiences. 330 01:04:40,710 --> 01:04:44,453 Sometimes, when her tales were especially wicked, 331 01:04:44,798 --> 01:04:47,005 she would use girls from the sultan's court 332 01:04:47,342 --> 01:04:48,422 to illustrate a point. 333 01:04:49,594 --> 01:04:51,710 Three of the girls were friends 334 01:04:52,055 --> 01:04:54,592 and had felt certain feelings for one another. 335 01:04:55,975 --> 01:04:58,466 One afternoon, when they were alone, 336 01:05:00,105 --> 01:05:02,145 they inhaled a substance that was allowed to be used 337 01:05:02,357 --> 01:05:03,642 by the priests alone. 338 01:05:05,402 --> 01:05:08,360 What happened is difficult to explain 339 01:05:08,696 --> 01:05:10,186 and went through many stages. 340 01:05:12,784 --> 01:05:14,365 During one of these stages, 341 01:05:15,662 --> 01:05:18,449 the girls felt very warm towards each other 342 01:05:18,790 --> 01:05:20,530 and wanted to touch. 343 01:05:20,875 --> 01:05:24,038 The first to move was Tamara 344 01:05:24,379 --> 01:05:26,665 who slid her hand inside kala's blouse 345 01:05:27,006 --> 01:05:28,041 and touched her breasts. 346 01:05:29,676 --> 01:05:31,462 They all felt dream-like 347 01:05:31,803 --> 01:05:34,215 and seemed to move in a slowed motion. 348 01:05:36,099 --> 01:05:39,262 Tamara and kala began to kiss and caress 349 01:05:41,146 --> 01:05:45,014 and for an instant, the third felt jealous, 350 01:05:45,358 --> 01:05:47,770 but then kala turned and kissed her 351 01:05:50,238 --> 01:05:53,230 and all three fell back onto the soft cushions. 352 01:05:56,703 --> 01:06:00,195 They ceased to be three bodies and became 353 01:06:00,540 --> 01:06:05,330 all mouths and senses and tongues and fingers. 354 01:06:08,715 --> 01:06:13,084 They held each others heads in their hands like cups 355 01:06:13,386 --> 01:06:16,002 and took long drinks from each other's lips. 356 01:06:34,699 --> 01:06:37,611 They kissed until kissing became a torture 357 01:07:04,687 --> 01:07:06,928 Their fingers always found an opening 358 01:07:08,066 --> 01:07:09,977 and the owner would move to accept it 359 01:07:11,361 --> 01:07:13,943 willingly 360 01:08:32,942 --> 01:08:37,311 No parts of their bodies were ignored or escaped kissing 361 01:09:01,179 --> 01:09:04,421 Tongues replaced fingers 362 01:09:05,475 --> 01:09:07,340 and two of them attacked one 363 01:09:08,436 --> 01:09:12,645 kissing each other and taking turns at arousing their victims 364 01:11:21,736 --> 01:11:24,978 The pleasure that they gave her was so exquisite 365 01:11:26,365 --> 01:11:28,276 that it was almost impossible to bear 366 01:11:30,036 --> 01:11:32,277 and she cried out for it to end 367 01:11:32,622 --> 01:11:35,204 and for it never to end 368 01:11:40,254 --> 01:11:42,165 One of the girls found an instrument 369 01:11:42,507 --> 01:11:44,668 used in certain ceremonies 370 01:11:45,259 --> 01:11:47,170 and put it to another good use 371 01:12:40,439 --> 01:12:43,681 The three girls were so lost in each other 372 01:12:44,026 --> 01:12:46,233 and in the drug they had inhaled, 373 01:12:46,571 --> 01:12:48,778 that they did not hear the temple guards return. 374 01:12:50,408 --> 01:12:51,614 Each girls was punished. 375 01:12:54,745 --> 01:12:57,612 Afterwards, the three were banished. 376 01:12:58,749 --> 01:13:00,205 The first girl went north, 377 01:13:02,253 --> 01:13:06,872 the second south and the third, who was the youngest, 378 01:13:08,801 --> 01:13:11,759 traveled west along the caravan routes. 379 01:13:15,391 --> 01:13:16,927 With my monarch's permission, 380 01:13:18,603 --> 01:13:20,935 the adventures of the third girl 381 01:13:21,272 --> 01:13:23,558 form the body of another story. 382 01:13:30,781 --> 01:13:32,341 Sheherrazod saved the story 383 01:13:32,658 --> 01:13:35,195 of the third and youngest girl for last. 384 01:13:35,494 --> 01:13:37,780 Instead, she told the sultan more about the horse 385 01:13:38,122 --> 01:13:41,910 that was made of gold and able to carry its rider anywhere 386 01:13:42,209 --> 01:13:43,369 and at the speed of light. 387 01:13:44,629 --> 01:13:46,039 At that speed, 388 01:13:46,380 --> 01:13:48,462 the prince was not only carried backwards in time, 389 01:13:48,758 --> 01:13:51,295 but forwards as well and he found himself 390 01:13:51,636 --> 01:13:53,422 in a very strange place. 391 01:14:02,980 --> 01:14:04,470 What are you dressed up for? 392 01:14:06,525 --> 01:14:08,436 Well I always dress this way. 393 01:14:09,445 --> 01:14:10,445 Are you a pervert? 394 01:14:11,572 --> 01:14:13,858 No, I don't think so. 395 01:14:15,493 --> 01:14:16,824 That's too bad. 396 01:14:17,119 --> 01:14:18,154 It'll be 10 Franks then. 397 01:14:20,581 --> 01:14:21,581 What's a frank? 398 01:14:23,417 --> 01:14:25,373 Undress and I'll show you. 399 01:18:02,261 --> 01:18:03,592 Nannettel 400 01:18:03,929 --> 01:18:04,929 Robert! 401 01:18:05,556 --> 01:18:07,467 Oh shit 402 01:18:07,975 --> 01:18:09,215 not again 403 01:18:14,523 --> 01:18:18,436 One night, scheherazade demonstrated her story herself 404 01:18:18,944 --> 01:18:21,185 the sultan liked this story the best 405 01:20:10,014 --> 01:20:11,254 Finish. 406 01:20:16,770 --> 01:20:17,770 Tomorrow. 407 01:20:22,693 --> 01:20:25,150 Somewhere around the tales of the fisherman, 408 01:20:25,487 --> 01:20:26,852 the sultan had lost all thought 409 01:20:27,197 --> 01:20:28,687 of ending sheherrazod's life. 410 01:20:30,200 --> 01:20:32,737 He had, in fact, fallen in love with her. 411 01:20:33,078 --> 01:20:35,865 Now, on this thousandth and first night, 412 01:20:36,206 --> 01:20:38,743 sheherrazod told the sultan her last story. 413 01:20:39,084 --> 01:20:42,247 It was about the third girl, the one who had traveled west 414 01:20:42,588 --> 01:20:43,953 along the caravan routes. 415 01:20:45,007 --> 01:20:47,123 This girl, of course, was sheherrazod herself 416 01:20:48,677 --> 01:20:50,633 and now she told the sultan how she had managed 417 01:20:50,971 --> 01:20:54,509 to save her own life by continuing to tell him stories. 418 01:20:55,768 --> 01:20:57,349 When she finished, 419 01:20:57,686 --> 01:21:00,928 the sultan looked at sheherrazod for a long time, 420 01:21:01,273 --> 01:21:03,434 smiled and then asked... 421 01:21:05,736 --> 01:21:09,069 Tell me, exactly what were these stories 422 01:21:09,406 --> 01:21:11,021 that sheherrazod told the sultan? 423 01:21:11,992 --> 01:21:13,152 I want to hear them all. 424 01:21:15,621 --> 01:21:16,861 Should I begin? 425 01:21:22,294 --> 01:21:23,955 Begin. Tomorrow.
