Short filmTranscript
00:00In the waking world, which humanity insists on calling the real world, as if your dreams have no effect upon the choices you make, you mortals go about your work, your loves, your wars, as if your waking lives are all that matter.
00:26But there is another life which awaits you when you close your eyes and enter my realm, for I am the king of dreams and nightmares.
00:56When the waking world leaves you wanting and weary, sleep brings you here to find freedom and adventure.
01:15To face your fears and fantasies in dreams and nightmares that I create.
01:34And which I must control, lest they consume and destroy you.
01:44That is my purpose and my function. All it was. Until I left my kingdom to pursue a rogue nightmare.
01:54My lord, you are coming back, aren't you?
02:02Why would I not return, Lucien?
02:04I don't know. A presentiment. As powerful as you are here in your realm, dreams rarely survive in the waking world. Nightmares, on the other hand, seem to thrive there.
02:20Nightmares, on the other hand, seem to thrive there.
02:26Wake up, sir. We're here. Forney Rig.
02:30We're ready? I must have dozed off. Thank you.
03:06Good afternoon, lad. My name is Dr. John Hathaway. Of the Royal Museum.
03:20Are you here to see the Magus?
03:22Well, I've come to see Mr. Roderick Burgess.
03:26Father likes to be called Magus. He needs sorcerer.
03:30He needs sorcerer.
03:32Mhm.
03:48Hear the darkness, hear the darkness, hear the darkness.
04:18Hear the darkness, hear the darkness, hear the darkness, hear the darkness.
04:25The Magus will receive his guests in the study, Alex.
04:29Yes, Mr. Sykes.
04:35Have you come to join Father's Order?
04:42The Order of Ancient Mysteries.
04:44Dr. Hathaway, what an unexpected pleasure.
04:49Alex T for our guest.
04:52Now please, sit down, you must be exhausted from your journey.
04:57I take you to reconsider then.
05:00After our meeting at the museum, I know what I said.
05:03I received a telegram this morning.
05:07My son, Edmund, his destroyer was sunk last week.
05:14Off Jutland.
05:17Oh, my condolences, Doctor.
05:18We are bonded then in our grief, you and I.
05:27As you know, I lost my son, Randall, recently at Gallipoli.
05:32Forgive me.
05:33I understood that Randall was your only son.
05:37Randall was my greatest joy.
05:47All this was meant to be his.
05:51So, have you brought it?
05:55The Magdalene Grimoire.
05:56If I give you the book,
06:10can you really capture the Angel of Death?
06:15Oh, yes.
06:19With the spells recorded in this book,
06:21we can compel death to return our sons to us.
06:24You're Edmund and my Randall will live again.
06:54It's all right, Doctor Hathaway.
06:59Here.
07:00Tonight, we will achieve what no one before us has even attempted.
07:26We will summon and imprison death.
07:34Here, in the darkness.
07:37Here, in the darkness.
07:38Here, in the darkness.
07:54Corinthian.
07:55My creations stay in the dreaming.
08:02They do not walk amongst the living, killing mortals for pleasure.
08:07Isn't this why you created me?
08:12Why should we confine ourselves to their sleeping minds?
08:16Here in the waking world, we're unstoppable.
08:19There is nothing preventing us from taking whoever, whatever we want.
08:27There is those.
08:31My lord.
08:34Please, no.
08:36No, no, no, I beg you.
08:42Please.
09:01I give you a coin made from a stove.
09:10I give you a knife from under the hills.
09:14I give you the blood from out of my veins.
09:19I give you a saw I stole from the dirt.
09:24And I give you a feather.
09:26Here in the darkness.
09:27Here in the darkness.
09:29Hear the darkness.
09:30Hear the darkness.
09:31Hear the darkness.
09:32Hear the darkness.
09:33Hear the darkness.
09:34Hear the darkness.
09:36Hear the darkness.
09:37Hear the darkness.
09:38Hear the darkness.
09:39Hear the darkness.
09:40Hear the darkness.
09:41Hear the darkness.
09:42Hear the darkness.
09:43Hear the darkness!
09:52I summon you with poison!
09:59I summon you with pain!
10:04I open the way! I open the gates!
10:10I summon you with the names of the old gods,
10:13and the power of our two,
10:15the power of our two,
10:16the power of our two,
10:17the power of our two,
10:18the power of our two,
10:19and the power of our two,
10:20and the real holds you.
10:22We summon you together!
10:24Come!
10:40Come on!
11:08Alex!
11:19Get that pouch for me!
11:21But be careful!
11:23Don't break the binding circle!
11:33Sand!
11:38Now the jewel!
11:39There!
11:41Good!
11:44Well, see what other treasures you have for us!
11:52The bird!
11:54Let me down!
11:55You go!
11:56No!
11:57No!
11:58No!
11:59Stop!
12:11Move!
12:12We'll let our guest recover,
12:32before we tell him our demands.
12:34Guards!
12:35Watch him!
12:36I was powerless.
12:37Trapped by a spell,
12:38cast by an amateur,
12:39with no concern for the damage he had done to my realm.
12:44And to his own.
12:45For the following morning, there were some sleepers.
13:00Unity!
13:01Who could not wake up?
13:03Unity!
13:08Rise and shine, Dormouse!
13:09Can't have you let to school, can we?
13:13Lovey?
13:15Wake up!
13:17Unity!
13:18What's wrong?
13:19Call the doctor.
13:21Hello, operator.
13:24The sleepy sickness, as it was called, affected nearly one million men, women and children in every city, town and village in the world.
13:48All right!
13:51All right!
13:52Alex!
14:01Oi!
14:02Good morning, Magus.
14:04Do I know you?
14:17Do I know you?
14:18No.
14:20I know all about you, Roderick.
14:24And the being.
14:26You trapped in your cellar.
14:27Blackmail, then.
14:28Is this a shakedown?
14:29Not at all.
14:30I'm here to help you.
14:31You're gonna need all the help you can get.
14:34I'm here to help you.
14:35You're gonna need all the help you can get.
14:38There are benefits to keeping one of the Endless close.
14:53The Endless?
14:54Did you think death was the only one in charge?
15:00The Reaper has family, you know?
15:02Desire, destiny, despair.
15:05Which one have I got now?
15:08Dream.
15:10What's the good of a god who governs dreams?
15:13Not a god.
15:15More than a god.
15:17And are men not governed by their dreams?
15:21You've taken his vestments.
15:23The ruby.
15:24The pouch.
15:25And the helm.
15:27They can lend you an aspect of his power.
15:31Extend your lifespan.
15:33Allow you to manipulate others.
15:36But you must ensure that he never escapes.
15:40The binding circle is intact.
15:41The circle would not be enough.
15:43You must construct a sphere of glass inside the circle.
15:48To contain dreams' physical manifestation.
15:54No one must be allowed to fall asleep in his presence.
15:57No one.
15:58Or he will escape into your dreams.
16:01And you don't want that.
16:04There are forced march tablets.
16:08Stimulants used to keep trench soldiers awake.
16:11See that your guards use them at all times.
16:15Why are you helping me?
16:20What is he to you?
16:22Well, you could say that he made me what I am today.
16:26And if he ever gets free, he could take it all back.
16:32We're being observed.
16:33What?
16:34There's nobody here.
16:42Well, you'll have to deal with that one.
16:44Her name is Jessamy.
16:46She belongs to him.
16:48Best of luck.
16:50To the both of us.
16:51Will I see you again?
16:54You should hope not.
16:55We should hope not.
17:17You can go.
17:18Hello.
17:27Are you awake?
17:31Are you listening?
17:32I know who you are.
17:48Dream of the endless.
17:49I captured you according to the laws of magic.
17:58But it wasn't you I wanted.
18:00I wanted death.
18:02To return my son, Randall.
18:05Who died in the Gallipoli campaign.
18:07If you give him back to me, alive and well, I'd release you.
18:21Is that in your power, Lord of Dreams?
18:28No, I suppose not.
18:31So then, what can you give me?
18:37If I let you go, if I promise to give you back your things?
18:43The power, wealth, immortality?
18:51Is there nothing you can offer me?
18:52No, have it your way then.
19:02And until you're ready to speak,
19:06I'll enjoy the gift you've already given me.
19:22Day after day, he pleaded for gifts that are not mankind's to receive, nor mine to give.
19:38So I remained silent.
19:41And ten years later...
19:44Enjoy yourself. Of course.
19:46Though my presence there remained a secret,
19:48my ruby, sand, and helm brought youth and prosperity to Roderick Burgess and his followers.
19:58But for the rest of the world, the suffering will continue.
20:04Alex.
20:05You're supposed to be working, not reading.
20:11Don't let your father catch you.
20:13Don't let your father catch you.
20:33Good evening.
20:37Excuse me.
20:38I'm afraid that there's no more room inside this evening, but if you'd like to all come back tomorrow...
20:43We've been out here for hours, we're not going anywhere.
20:45No, but I'm afraid that the Magus insists.
20:48Oh, the Magus insists, does he?
20:50And who are you to speak for the Magus?
20:52Who the fuck are you?
20:54He's the Magus' son.
20:56You fucking twat.
20:58And he can do magic, too.
21:03Can't you?
21:04Do you want him to put a curse on you?
21:07Wanted to hex you and all your unborn children?
21:09No?
21:11Then you should leave.
21:12Right now.
21:14Can we still come back tomorrow?
21:17Can they?
21:19Yeah.
21:21If they bring cash.
21:23Oh, you heard him.
21:25Cash only.
21:26Now piss off.
21:28Careful.
21:32Thanks for that.
21:34You didn't need my help.
21:36I'll bet you can do magic.
21:38Can't you?
21:40Can't do much of anything, really.
21:43That's not true.
21:45You're more powerful than you know.
21:49You can get me in to see the Magus.
21:50I'm not staying down there with that thing one second longer than I have to.
22:12We can't just leave him in there alone.
22:15Why not?
22:16He's in his cage, isn't he?
22:17I sometimes wonder about this job.
22:20Really?
22:21Sometimes.
22:22I do not have the...
22:24Have you seen Nolan Morris?
22:26No.
22:27They're nearly half hour late.
22:31I could...
22:33watch him.
22:35Until they get here if you wanted to go.
22:42See you tomorrow.
22:43I know...
23:13It's Alex, the Magus' son.
23:34I don't know whether you can speak or even understand me, but I just wanted to ask, are you all right in there?
23:55No, of course you're not.
24:11I'm sorry about all of this.
24:15He's not a bad man, my father.
24:17He just...
24:22If you could bring Randall back, or just give him something, anything, or even just speak to him, then I am sure he would let you out.
24:40I would let you out.
24:44If I could.
24:47You would, would you?
24:57What were you doing down there?
24:59Nothing.
24:59You were putting his escape, weren't you? Conspiring against me.
25:03No, father.
25:04What did he say to you?
25:05I didn't say anything.
25:07You know what would happen if you let him out?
25:09I won't, Magus, I promise.
25:11He'd slaughter you. He'd slaughter all of us. Is that what you want? Is it?
25:15Do you want to die, Alex? Do you? Because if you do, it's relatively simple.
25:22Fuck.
25:22Roddy?
25:25What is it? What's wrong?
25:31It's Jessamy.
25:32Who's Jessamy?
25:34I've been trying to shoot this wretched bird for ten years now.
25:38It can't be the same bird, can it?
25:45Did he tell you to say that?
25:46No, he didn't say anything.
25:49Prove it to me.
25:52Shoot the fucking bird.
25:59Ethel.
26:19He's dead.
29:11Clear that mess up.
29:41Clear that mess up.
30:11A world still ravaged by the disease which doctors named Encephalitis Lethargica.
30:18I just want to sleep, please.
30:22Some begged for sleep that would not come.
30:24Others lived as perpetual sleepwalkers.
30:29Most slept without waking.
30:32I'm afraid I'm afraid I'm afraid I'm afraid I'm doing much more sleeping than I am reading
30:43at the moment.
30:43Have you read vile bodies?
30:49Now that'll keep you awake.
30:51You're all right?
30:55You're all right?
31:02You're all right?
31:10You're all right?
31:18Well, I'm going to have a baby.
31:26That's wonderful news.
31:28It wants me to get rid of it.
31:34In fact, I'm calling the doctor right now.
31:41I'll be fine.
31:56It's not your worry.
32:06It's not your worry.
32:06It's not your worry.
32:22It's not your Burada.

36:18My father, he, uh...
36:21He's dead.
36:24I'm so sorry, sir.
36:38I'm so sorry, Alex.
36:39Out of loss, new love was born.
36:55As was new life.
36:57For nine months later, Ethel Cripps gave birth to a son.
37:02My mum used to say that if I was good,
37:06I went to sleep, a man would come,
37:09sprinkle sand in my eyes.
37:14I'd make all my dreams come true.
37:19But the Sandman's not coming.
37:23From now on, Johnny,
37:24you and I are going to have to make our own dreams come true.
37:31Nothing.
37:33And no one
37:34is going to stand in our way.
37:37How is it today, Rogers?
37:54About to go fine, though, sir.
37:56Moved his hand this morning.
37:58Right hand.
37:58Oh, my God.
38:12Alex.
38:17Hello.
38:20This is my friend, Paul.
38:25Paul?
38:26This is our unwilling guest.
38:32Look, we've been talking.
38:34Paul and I.
38:36And if I let you out,
38:39will you promise not to harm us?
38:47If you could just speak to us.
38:52You see, I told you.
38:54I'm telling you, you have to keep trying.
38:56Show him that you can trust you.
39:01Show him that you mean it.
39:05I do mean it.
39:10Just promise
39:11that you won't harm me
39:13or Paul
39:13and I will let you out.
39:16should I have forgiven him
39:20should I have forgiven him
39:25for murdering my raven?
39:29Perhaps.
39:31But in the end,
39:33I could not.
39:36I could have asked you for wealth
39:39or power
39:40like my father did.
39:44But all I ever wanted
39:45was to be free of you.
39:52Surely you want that, too.
39:53Alex, darling, please.
39:58Darling, please.
40:00Tell me upstairs, Paul.
40:14I won't be coming down here again.
40:16I won't be coming down here again.
40:18I won't be coming down.
40:23I will vanließ my back
40:27because I don't want to.
40:31It is normal to be.
40:32It is not normal.
40:33It's normal to be with Noinn.
40:35Old Dracula ears, not giving an inch.
40:54Why do you call it Dracula?
40:56Because I think it's one of them Draculas.
40:59What do you think it is?
41:01I try not to.
41:03You know what I think about?
41:06My yoga.
41:08Four days, and I'll be on a beach, stinking a suntan lotion.
41:14Lucky bugger.
41:16I was on Corfu knowledge once.
41:18I'll make this right big part of the A12 in the morning.
41:21I saw you.
41:35I was on Corfu.
41:38I saw you.
41:39I don't know.
42:09I don't know.
42:39I don't know.
43:09I don't know.
43:11I don't know.
43:21I don't know.
43:23I don't know.
43:25I don't know.
43:27I don't know.
43:29I don't know.
43:41Hello.
43:43It's you.
43:45You're free.
43:49I am.
43:51I don't know.
43:53I don't know.
43:55I don't know.
43:57Do you have any idea what it was like?
43:59Confined in a cage for over a century?
44:03Do you understand the damage you've done to your world?
44:09I'm sorry.
44:11I didn't know.
44:13Please.
44:15There shall be a gift.
44:17I give you this.
44:19The gift of eternal sleep.
44:25Alex.
44:31Alex.
44:32Alex, wake up.
44:33Please.
44:34Please.
44:35More than a century of tortured sleep, of dreams and nightmares running riot, was coming to an end.
44:44He's free.
44:46He's free.
44:48He's out of his cage.
44:50He's out of his cage.
44:52So, I'm afraid I'm gonna have to run.
45:08And I'm not gonna stop until I've reshaped this world to look just like me.
45:22Sir.
45:40Sir.
45:42Oh, my goodness.
45:44Sir.
45:46It's me.
45:48It's Lucy Aang.
45:56Lucy Aang.
45:59Your home, my lord.
46:03My home.
46:18Lucy Aang.
46:49The realm.
46:52The palace.
46:55They are not as you left them.
47:18What happened here?
47:22Who did this?
47:26My lord, you are the dreaming.
47:30The dreaming is you.
47:32With you gone as long as you were, the realm began to decay and crumble.
47:40And the residents?
47:45The palace staff?
47:48I'm afraid most have gone.
47:53Gone?
47:55Some went looking for you.
47:57And the others?
47:58They thought perhaps you'd grown weary of your duties and...
48:08What?
48:12Abandoned them?
48:15Had they so little faith in me?
48:18Do my own subjects not know me?
48:21If I may, sir.
48:24It would not be the first time one of the Endless had just...
48:27Enough.
48:29I will not have dreams and nightmares preying on the waking world.
48:32I will bring them all back.
48:39I made this run once, Lucien.
48:42I will make it again.
48:46I knew you would return.
49:09The dreaming must be restored.
49:12You want me to kill the king of dreams?
49:14You just have to trust me.
49:16Whatever's happening, however it's happening, your dreams are coming true.
49:21I'm worried about my brother.
49:24If I need your help, if dreams disappear, then so will humanity.
49:27You have to do something.
49:29Fuck it! Let's go to hell!
49:32What power of dreams in hell?
49:37Nightmares do not belong in the waking world, Corinthian.
49:40Oh, turns out I fit right in.
49:42Can I get you anything you desire?
49:46Your kingdom is my birthright!
49:50Can you imagine the damage he could do?
49:54You don't think dreams can die?
49:56Let's find out.
49:58You are still with us, dreams.
50:00Go on, go to hell.
50:00I'll be right back.
50:01I love you, everybody.
50:02I will feel like you were to do something in the way you do.
50:03You're still with me.
50:03I will do the same thing in the way I walk around.
50:03That's the trouble.
50:04I will be on to the day where you do something from the beginning of the moment.
