Short filmTranscript
00:00Perhaps it is unwise to keep a journal, a confession to what my enemies would deem my sins.
00:20But if I do not write it, it will be written for me by those who would burn me at the stake for...
00:42Who's there?
00:44You are Lady Jo in a constant time, are you not?
00:48One step further, sir.
00:50But we are old friends, you and I.
00:53We met in a tavern, five years gone.
00:57At the time, you believed me a demon.
01:09Do you believe it still?
01:11I have learnt differently since.
01:14There is a task I need accomplished.
01:19A task that is beyond the king of dreams.
01:23Something of some value to me has been stolen.
01:26I cannot involve myself in the matter.
01:30It is a family affair.
01:38Is it dangerous?
01:39Yes.
01:42Very much so.
01:48What are you offering me then?
01:49I will give you what it is in my power to give you.
01:59Where is this task sending me?
02:01To me.
02:02I am not even a man.
02:03No hurts!
02:04And that means.
02:05Yes.
02:06I am.
02:07To me.
02:08To me.
02:09If you were lucky, you were A bee in the overt, you will...
02:10To me.
02:11To me.
02:12It was a cursive.
02:13To me.
02:14This way, I am.
02:15To me.
02:16Yes.
02:17I am.
02:18To me.
02:19To my current student.
02:20To me.
02:21You are not!
02:22To me.
02:23To me.
02:24To me.
02:25To me.
02:26To me.
02:27To me.
02:28I have a room at the inn here, at Mamora, citizens.
02:36What do you have in that sack?
02:39Food, perhaps?
02:41I assure you, there is nothing in this sack that would interest you.
02:45We will decide that.
02:48Open it.
02:58There, my gallants.
03:01Satisfied?
03:03Wildling.
03:03Whose head is that?
03:06The Saristo swine violated my little sister.
03:10When I heard he was being brought to the Committee of Public Safety,
03:13I persuaded the executioner to give me his head,
03:16which I will take back to my village and I will show to my poor mother
03:19and she will spit on his face like this.
03:28Let her be, she's a mad woman.
03:30Let her be.
03:32Your eyes are as dull as your wits, Michelle.
03:36Come here, good citizeness.
03:40I wish to inspect your head more closely.
03:50A thousand thanks, girl.
03:52This will buy many amoks, many cabbages and many bottles of wine.
03:58Yo, why do I ever doubt you?
04:00Because, my dear friend, you have nothing between your ears,
04:03feathers and chicken droppings.
04:04Come on.
04:18I am sorry.
04:21Couldn't be helped.
04:23The hearing will bring him nothing but misery.
04:26Eventually, he'll come back to me.
04:28It's been stolen before.
04:30And your ear.
04:33Do you mean, will it grow back?
04:36Alas, no.
04:38All the rest of me would have done so long ago.
04:42In which case,
04:44this might have hurt.
04:46My injuries would have been far more severe had it not been for your extremely convincing performance.
04:56I admire Jaws as well.
04:59Playing dead is easy.
05:01It's actually dying I can't seem to manage.
05:03You should both be so lucky.
05:06No, I wouldn't wish that upon you.
05:13Whoever you are.
05:14I am Lady Joanna Constantine.
05:19And I am at your service.
05:21An aristocrat?
05:23In the people's France?
05:24As long as I can escape Robespierre's guillotine.
05:28Well, we have no use to you there.
05:29It was Robespierre himself who decided I was a threat to the people of France
05:33and had his men lock me in the crypt in which you found me.
05:36You don't look that dangerous to me.
05:39You haven't heard me sing.
05:42Dancing, of course, is out of the question.
05:47May I ask you?
05:51What is it you intend to do with me?
05:53I intend to take you home.
05:55To your home?
05:58Back to the island from which you were stolen,
06:00which I hope will be much better guarded from now on.
06:03You know about the island?
06:06Aye.
06:07Master Orpheus.
06:11Did the priest send you?
06:17To my father?
06:21I am not anybody to say.
06:29How is he?
06:31Did he seem all right?
06:36At the moment, sir, my concern is for us.
06:41The soldiers we met will have told their superiors by now,
06:44and word will be out to look for a young woman with a head.
06:46With two heads.
06:47The city gates will not be open until morning.
06:50I wish they had not seen you.
06:52Well, they have, milady.
06:53So we better think fast,
06:56or else we'll both be as good as lost.
06:59Well, they do say two heads are better than one.
07:01Good morning, captain.
07:14Officers.
07:19Check that.
07:22Open it.
07:23Where have you hidden it?
07:33I do not know what you were talking about.
07:35We know that you have in your possession a stolen artifact.
07:41Citizeness Bonchance.
07:43Her name is not Bonchance, captain.
07:45Good day, citizen Rob Speer.
08:02Your name is Joanna Constantine.
08:05You are now in possession of something which belongs to the people of France.
08:09An object of superstition and decadence.
08:12I want it back, Mademoiselle Constantine.
08:19And what would you do with the head?
08:21If I were to tell you where it is?
08:24I would destroy it utterly.
08:28And I will.
08:29We are remaking the world here.
08:32Creating an age of pure reason.
08:35So I will not have an imagined oracle at large in my country.
08:38If anything threatens France, it is my duty to destroy it.
08:45So I have seen.
08:50You will save France.
08:55If it means killing every child, woman and man in the country to do it.
09:00We will find the head, woman.
09:06And you will help us.
09:11You have tonight to think further on this.
09:13Or in the morning, the guillotine will steal your tongue forever.
09:19Take her away.
09:20Thus it was, I found myself immured in the palace of Luxembourg,
09:38where my death awaited me at the edge of a weighted blade.
09:42You're having problems, I see.
10:05It's putting it mildly, don't you think?
10:09Will you help me?
10:10I may not be seen to intervene in the matter.
10:14Then might I suggest you give the matter some thought, sir?
10:17Your son's head is valuable to you.
10:19And I am rather attached to mine.
10:20Indeed, hitherto we have been inseparable.
10:22Now it appears both heads might be lost.
10:28How is he?
10:31He asked me the same about you.
10:33And you said nothing, of course.
10:34I didn't answer.
10:36Of course.
10:36Of course.
10:40He says he wishes to die.
10:47It won't start the same to me.
10:52I suppose I cannot blame him.
10:55After all, he's suffered.
10:57But even in his current state, he is more alive than anyone I've ever met.
11:06He jokes.
11:07At his own expense, he's curious.
11:10He asks questions, and more remarkably, he listens to the answers.
11:12He even offered to sing for me.
11:21Did he sing for you?
11:22He did not.
11:24As at the time, the Sephideta and I were trying not to draw attention to ourselves.
11:28Is he able to sing in the place where you have hidden him?
11:33Yes.
11:33Although I don't think he'll feel much like singing.
11:38He will if you ask him to.
11:39It came to me in a dream.
12:03It was so obvious.
12:06So blindingly obvious.
12:11Where do you hide a book?
12:13In a library.
12:15Where do you hide a flower?
12:17In a garden.
12:20Where do you hide a severed head?
12:24You tell me.
12:25Citizen Robespierre.
12:26You hide a severed head.
12:35Amongst other severed heads.
12:37With the corpses.
12:38That have not yet made their journey to the lime pits.
12:54Now, Mademoiselle.
12:56Will you do me the courtesy of introducing me to your friend?
13:11Citizen Robespierre.
13:15It is not too late.
13:18You can let me go.
13:20I will take what I came for.
13:23Leave France and...
13:24Never bother you again.
13:28Neither you nor the head will be leaving France, Mademoiselle.
13:32In which case, remember this.
13:36I offered you one final chance.
13:40Your attempts to threaten us are laughable.
13:43Bring me the head.
13:44This is the head of Orpheus.
13:58Whose song was powerful enough to sway even the hearts of Hades and Persephone.
14:03Do you take us for peasants, Joanna?
14:05The myths are dead.
14:08The gods are dead.
14:11There is only the state and the people.
14:14No, Citizen Robespierre.
14:17There is much more than that.
14:21Enough!
14:23Bring me the head.
14:24Now, Messiah Orpheus.
14:25Sing to them.
14:26He sang of freedom, of liberty.
14:52A song so powerful that even the dead joined in to sing it.
15:07A song which cast a spell upon the listener, such that Robespierre and his men stood and listened like statues.
15:16It is my belief that Orpheus' song was sung unheard throughout all of France.
15:27For the next day, Robespierre's reign of terror was cut short.
15:35By the fall of the weighted blade.
15:38The dream king's instructions took us to a small uncharted island off the coast of Greece.
16:00We climbed to the island's summit.
16:18Where the sacred temple of Orpheus and the priests who guarded it were hidden from the world beneath a bank of clouds.
16:30It feels odd.
16:39Just leaving you here.
16:43You sure it's alright?
16:45The priests will take care of me.
16:47I was on this island for centuries before I was sterling.
16:51Centuries?
16:53Just you and the priests?
16:55My mother comes by from time to time to visit.
16:57That's nice.
17:04Do you think my father might come by to visit?
17:08I'm sure he couldn't say.
17:12He must care for me though, don't you think?
17:15Or he wouldn't have sent you to rescue me?
17:16There is a logic in what you say.
17:22Well, I trust that he will repay you adequately for your time and trouble in assisting me.
17:27They say virtue is its own reward.
17:31But then I wouldn't know anything about that.
17:33I wish there was something I could give you to thank you properly.
17:41I travel widely.
17:48Perhaps in a year or so I could return.
17:51See you again.
17:53What do you think?
17:53I do not think that would be a good idea, Joanna.
18:04I'm sure you're right.
18:12When you see my father, will you tell him I miss him?
18:16I haven't seen him for so long.
18:18Not even in your dreams?
18:19Not even in my dreams.
18:49I don't think that would be a good idea, Joanna.
18:51I'm sure you're right.
18:51I'll see you again.
18:52I'll see you again.
18:53I'll see you again.
19:13Bye-bye.
19:14Bye-bye.
19:16Bye-bye.
19:17Bye-bye.
19:18Bye-bye.
19:18Bye-bye.
19:19Will you visit him?
19:30That is none of your concern.
19:34He misses you.
19:38There is still the matter of your fee to be discussed.
19:45Anything that is within your power to give me
19:48what is it you want?
20:00Perhaps a bit more time with Orpheus.
20:18So this is it, where Orpheus lives?
20:26Along with the priests that attend him.
20:28Dream!
20:30Have you ever spent days and days and days making up flavors of ice cream no one's ever eaten before, like chicken and telephone ice cream?
20:40My sister.
20:41Green mouse ice cream was the worst. I didn't like that one at all. But I get things wrong sometimes, lots of times. Like this whole entire thing was me getting it all completely entirely wrong.
20:53That's not true. It is. What if things didn't get bad when destruction left? What if destruction left because things were bad?
20:58We will ask him.
20:59I don't want to. I only ever wanted to because I missed him, but I don't miss him when I'm not all by myself. And if you go in there and spill family blood, you'll bring the kindly ones down on your head. And I'll be all alone again.
21:06So can we please just go?
21:13Hey! You too!
21:17How did you get out of here?
21:25Hey! You too!
21:30How did you get up here?
21:37We walked the path.
21:39There is no path that leads here.
21:41There are many paths that lead here.
21:43I have been avoiding all of them for some small while now, but I must speak with my son.
21:48Your son?
21:58Are you Apollo?
22:01I am your charge's father.
22:03I am your charge.
22:04I am your charge.
22:05I am your charge.
22:06I am your charge.
22:08I am your charge.
22:09I am your charge.
22:11I am your charge.
22:13Hello, Orpheus.
22:37Hello, Father.
22:43You look just like yourself.
22:56You didn't describe what I look like.
23:00You look like my son.
23:06Father, I am so sorry.
23:11No, you were trying to protect me.
23:16I know that now.
23:18I abandoned you.
23:20You never abandoned me.
23:23You sent Andros and his father and his father's father to look after me.
23:31You sent Joanna Constantin.
23:36And you're here with me now.
23:40I'm not worthy of you, my son.
23:43Why would you say that?
23:44What's happened?
23:47When last we saw one another, you said we would never meet again.
23:52So something must have happened.
23:57Many things.
24:03Where even to begin?
24:06Why not the beginning?
24:09I've nowhere to go.
24:12Do you?
24:14Why not the end?
24:15Why not the end?
24:16Why not the end?
24:18Why not the end?
24:19Or if it never wins.
24:21You, I have no idea.
24:23Why not the end?
24:24Are they eating your ice cream?
24:45Well, they did seem hungry.
24:48Don't worry, I let them pick their own flavours.
24:49Did you talk to him?
24:58I did.
25:01Did he tell you where our brother is?
25:04Yes.
25:08Did it cost you anything?
25:10I owe my son a boon.
25:19Is it a long way to our brothers?
25:43No. Not far.
25:59Wait for me!
26:00Change of scenery, my lord.
26:17Thank you, Andros.
26:19Destruction lives next door.
26:39Seems our brother chose to live in the one place he knew I would not dare to go.
26:44Well, he doesn't know you very well, then.
26:46A doggie!
26:49Hello, doggie.
26:51Hello.
26:52You are a very lovely doggie, aren't you?
26:55Yes, you are!
26:56I think doggies mostly always are the better people, don't you?
26:59Sir?
27:17Sir?
27:22Sir?
27:23What's up?
27:33Hello, lad.
27:35Well, let me take a look at you.
27:38As pretty as you ever were by my troth.
27:41And yes, I do believe you've grown.
27:43Maybe.
27:48And you, my brother.
27:50You also seem different.
27:52Perhaps you too have grown.
27:55Stranger things have happened.
27:59Shall we go inside?
28:01I've made dinner.
28:03Dinner?
28:11Take a seat.
28:13And help yourselves.
28:17You were expecting us.
28:19I'm afraid so.
28:22I'm tired of meatballs.
28:24I'm rather pleased with the way they turned out.
28:31Ritzina? Anybody?
28:33I'll have some salad at least, Dream.
28:42I did not come here seeking food.
28:44No, you came here seeking me.
28:46It was me that thought of it, not Dream.
28:55He was the only sibling who would come with me to find you.
28:59It was me because I...
29:00It was me because I...
29:02I missed you.
29:03Very much, Lee.
29:06Then I remembered all those words you had coming out of your mouth when you told us you were leaving.
29:11How we shouldn't follow you or ask you where it is you think you're going.
29:14Which I didn't.
29:15But then all of a sudden you weren't there anymore.
29:21You were gone.
29:24And I didn't know why.
29:26You never really told me why you left.
29:29Well maybe you did but I didn't understand or I wasn't being a very good listener.
29:33But it was such a long time ago I thought well what if he's changed his mind?
29:39And if he has then how would I even know?
29:43So I thought if I could find you then I would ask you.
29:48And even better than knowing why would be not having to miss you anymore.
29:53Because you'd be here.
29:56Which you are.
29:57So...
29:58It was me.
30:05Um...
30:06That's all.
30:10It is as she says.
30:14We've been searching for you for some small time now.
30:21Let's see.
30:25How did you know we were coming?
30:26I set up certain...
30:29mechanisms.
30:31When I left.
30:32I mean nothing fancy.
30:33There's just...
30:34There's a shrine pool in the shed out back.
30:35It just lets me know if people have been looking for me.
30:37These mechanisms...
30:41Might they have harmed those who helped us to find you?
30:47I'm afraid so.
30:49But there was nothing I could do once you started looking for me.
30:53Not without resuming my function once more.
30:54But the people who died...
30:57Some of them were your friends.
31:00One of them was once my lover.
31:04You should die.
31:05You never cared for her.
31:09You seem to care now.
31:10I care that you continue to hurt those you claim to love.
31:12Who amongst us has not done that?
31:14I care...
31:16That innocent people have lost their lives simply because we were looking for you.
31:21It was not just that they should die.
31:23Three hundred years ago, you would have told me that they were simply mortal.
31:33And would have died later had they not died then.
31:38You've changed, right?
31:39I doubt that.
31:40I still perform my responsibilities after all.
31:45I don't.
31:49You know that.
31:50And how do you justify that?
31:53Leaving us.
31:55Killing your friends.
31:57Abandoning your realm.
31:59For this.
32:00For this.
32:14Well...
32:15If no one's eating...
32:21I suggest we go outside.
32:24It's a warm evening after all.
32:45Will you return with us?
32:54No.
32:58Of course not.
33:03I'm sorry, Laz.
33:06And what of your realm?
33:08I'm sure it's still there.
33:10And people and things are still created, still exist, they're still destroyed, things still change.
33:17The only difference is that no one's running it anymore.
33:23They can make their own destruction.
33:27It's not my responsibility.
33:30And it's not my fault.
33:32You know, I think I knew that it was time to leave this place.
33:42Even before you started looking for me.
33:49Life is...
33:51Comfortable.
33:55Unchanging.
33:57And you know what they say.
34:05You change or you die.
34:13Plus...
34:15Can't have mum and dad and the rest of the family turning up guilty means of going back, can I?
34:22Not that I haven't loved seeing you both.
34:23Come on.
34:27Can you help me pack?
34:28Can you help me pack?
34:51You retained your gallery.
34:52I don't even know why I held onto it so long.
34:59Habit, I guess.
35:01Or sentiment.
35:03What will you do now?
35:07I will make the most of whatever time I have left.
35:11I'll need to take the sword, of course.
35:16Can't have it fallen into the wrong hands.
35:18Why don't you stay in my realm?
35:32You can live with me and make me laugh.
35:34And I'll do little dances.
35:39You won't, will you?
35:44No.
35:46But if you go, then I'll be alone again.
35:49That's not true.
35:51Is it?
35:53You didn't come here on your own, did you?
35:55No, I came with...
35:58Oh.
36:00But Dream has his bird and his librarian and his dragon thingy.
36:04He gets very busy.
36:05Yeah, you're right now.
36:07You're giving me an idea.
36:11My friend.
36:14Answer if you wish.
36:20Will you go to Lady Delirium?
36:23Walk this side up.
36:25Tread the path that she treads also.
36:28Protect.
36:30And lead.
36:32And guide her.
36:34Can't I go with you?
36:36You would not survive in the places I'm traveling to, friend.
36:40Oh.
36:42I see.
36:44Well, she shouldn't be allowed out of a leash.
36:46But I'll do what I can.
36:57No.
37:04My brother.
37:07When you leave here, then where will you go?
37:09I have matters left unresolved with my son.
37:15Yes, for thousands of years.
37:18Why now, suddenly?
37:22We needed an oracle to find you.
37:25You went and...
37:28spoke to your son...
37:31because of me?
37:36Not just because of you.
37:40I suspect you have grown more than you now.
37:45I regret there is...
37:47I think I can offer you to save this.
37:51My advice...
37:55Remember what I did.
37:58Remember that I left.
38:00Remember how hard it was...
38:03for me to leave.
38:05But that I did it.
38:07Out of love.
38:12Love.
38:14For humankind.
38:16For this world and...
38:19all others.
38:21I know you think I'm weak...
38:23and...
38:25selfish...
38:26for living, and...
38:28and maybe I am, but...
38:30in my experience...
38:32love is the only good reason to do anything.
38:37That's your advice?
38:42Indeed it is.
38:50I like the stars.
38:52They give the illusion of permanence.
38:54I mean, they're always...
38:56flaring up and...
38:57caving in and going out.
38:58World's end.
38:59Gods come and go.
39:00Mortals flicker and fade.
39:02And...
39:04I mean, they're always flaring up and...
39:06caving in and going out.
39:08World's end.
39:10Gods come and go.
39:12Mortals flicker and fade.
39:14And...
39:16From here.
39:25I can pretend things last.
39:30My brother.
39:31I can pretend things last.
39:38My brother, there is no one like you.
39:54My sister, I've loved seeing you.
40:02You were always my favourite.
40:04Yes.
40:14Be good.
40:17Look after her.
40:19I'll miss you.
40:20Oh, yes.
40:22You'll miss the poetry readings, the paintings, the late-night flamenco guitar recitals.
40:28Of course.
40:29That's right, go on.
40:30Try to make me feel better.
40:35Bye.
40:40Where will you go?
40:42Out there.
40:44Somewhere.
40:47Up and out.
40:48I remember what I said, Frank.
41:03Good luck.
41:06And you.
41:07Good luck here.
41:13楓
41:37I can't believe he's really going.
41:55He left 300 years ago.
41:58I thought he'd come back to us.
42:01I know.
42:03Hey, cheer up.
42:04I mean, life's too short.
42:07It's better.
42:15I'm sorry we came all this way for nothing.
42:18It wasn't for nothing.
42:20We don't have to wonder anymore why he left.
42:23Or if he's ever coming back.
42:25Plus, you got some advice.
42:28And I got a doggy.
42:31So, now what?
42:33Um, I don't know.
42:35Dream?
42:36What next?
42:39Now I return to the temple.
42:41Oh.
42:43I forgot.
42:47I owe my son, Abun.
42:49Why so?
43:02Hello, Father.
43:04Thank you for coming back.
43:22I gave my word.
43:24How was my uncle?
43:28How was my uncle?
43:34He was...
43:36I don't know.
43:42He was gone.
43:52From that place and from this world.
44:00So much the same, I suppose.
44:06We do not always accomplish what it is we set out to do.
44:09When you went looking for your brother, did you believe that he would come back with you and return to his realm?
44:19I hoped you would, but I think perhaps I knew he would not.
44:27Yet you came here, to me, anyway, you asked me where your brother was, knowing what I would ask of you.
44:39You asked for a boon.
44:40You asked for a boon.
44:41You asked for a boon, and I am here to grant it.
44:45And I am here to grant it.
44:51It's strange.
44:52For many thousand years, I've prayed for death.
44:58Prayed to all the gods for peace and relief.
45:03I prayed for an ending.
45:04I never thought that you'd be the one to grant it.
45:11Do you remember what you said to me?
45:13You said, your life is your own, your death likewise.
45:19But, well, we shall not meet again.
45:28Do you know why I said those things?
45:32Because I did and said many things I now regret.
45:38It's because I'm scared.
45:43I was scared.
45:48I was scared to live in a world without you in it.
45:56I should have died long ago.
46:01Perhaps.
46:03I wish I'd listened to you and done Delia Tate.
46:07I wish things had been otherwise.
46:14It's too hard.
46:18I am ready.
46:37Very good.
46:53My son.
46:54My son.
49:07Dream, thank you for coming with me.
49:14I don't think I could have done it all by myself.
49:16Come on, doggy.
49:33We're going to my place.
49:35Very interesting, and I think you'll like it.
49:37Unless maybe you don't.
50:04I don't think I could have done it all by myself.
50:09I don't think I could have done it all by myself.
50:12I don't think I could have done it all by myself.
50:17I don't think I could have done it all by myself.
50:21I don't think I could have done it all by myself.
50:29You're back.
50:30I am back.
50:34It is at an end.
50:38Are you all right?
50:44I should be retiring to my quarters for the rest of the day.
50:51I do not wish to be disturbed.
50:55Tomorrow I shall resume my duties.
50:56I have neglected them long enough.
51:01Can I help in any way?
51:07Yes.
51:12Some time ago I created a priesthood to tend to my son.
51:17To guard him from harm.
51:22But their responsibilities are now at an end.
51:26I only have one last thing to ask of them.
51:29That is to bury them.
51:31Safely.
51:33And to leave no marker.
51:37When this is done, they may remain in the temple or do whatever it is, they may please.
51:49Of course, my lord.
51:55The rest can wait.
52:07My visitor am waiting for him to be determined.
52:08He is in the future.
52:14I see you.
52:17Do you believe me?
52:18He does not deserve this.
52:18He never forgot.
52:19I passed?
52:19I think it's good.
52:20I just want to make another thing.
52:22I'm not sure the business was a good one.
52:24I'm so delighted.
52:25I'm going to make one of those so that you can make your own size a little bit more.
52:33It's the problem.
52:34We are going to make the food in a lot of the food.
52:38Cally, I'm going to save a lot of the food.
52:41The food is not going to be picked up.
52:45I can't take the food in a lot of food.
53:17Is it ready yet?
53:44Nearly there.
53:47There we go.
53:52That's my darling girl.
53:55Who's ready for tea?
54:00Still going with that scarf, are you?
54:02I confess I rather like this one.
