1. We begin...Copy !req
2. in the waking world,Copy !req
3. which humanity insists
on calling the real world...Copy !req
4. as if your dreams have no effect
upon the choices you make.Copy !req
5. You mortals go about your work,Copy !req
6. your loves, your wars,Copy !req
7. as if your waking lives
are all that matter.Copy !req
8. But there is another life which awaits you
when you close your eyes...Copy !req
9. and enter my realm.Copy !req
10. For I am the King of Dreams...Copy !req
11. and Nightmares.Copy !req
12. When the waking world
leaves you wanting and weary,Copy !req
13. sleep brings you hereCopy !req
14. to find freedom and adventure.Copy !req
15. To face your fears and fantasiesCopy !req
16. in Dreams and Nightmares that I create...Copy !req
17. and which I must control,Copy !req
18. lest they consume and destroy you.Copy !req
19. That is my purpose and my function.Copy !req
20. Or it was,Copy !req
21. until I left my kingdom
to pursue a rogue Nightmare.Copy !req
22. My Lord, you are coming back, aren't you?Copy !req
23. Why would I not return, Lucienne?Copy !req
24. I don't know, a presentiment.Copy !req
25. As powerful as you are here in your realm,Copy !req
26. Dreams rarely survive in the waking world.Copy !req
27. Nightmares, on the other hand,
seem to thrive there.Copy !req
28. Wake up, sir, we're here. Fawney Rig.Copy !req
29. Already?Copy !req
30. I must have dozed off.Copy !req
31. Thank you.Copy !req
32. Oh.Copy !req
33. Good afternoon, lad.
My name is Dr. John Hathaway.Copy !req
34. Of the Royal Museum?Copy !req
35. Are you here to see the Magus?Copy !req
36. Well, I've come
to see Mr. Roderick Burgess.Copy !req
37. Father likes to be called Magus.
It means sorcerer.Copy !req
38. Hmm.Copy !req
39. Here in the darkness.
Here in the darkness.Copy !req
40. The Magus will receive his guest
in the study, Alex.Copy !req
41. Yes, Mr. Sykes.Copy !req
42. Have you come to join Father's Order?Copy !req
43. The Order of Ancient Mysteries.Copy !req
44. Dr. Hathaway, what an unexpected pleasure.Copy !req
45. Alex, tea for our guest.Copy !req
46. Please, sit down.
You must be exhausted from your journey.Copy !req
47. Thank you.Copy !req
48. I take it you've reconsidered, then?Copy !req
49. After our meeting at the museum...Copy !req
50. I know what I said.Copy !req
51. I received a telegram this morning.Copy !req
52. My son, Edmund,Copy !req
53. his destroyer was
sunk last week, off Jutland.Copy !req
54. Oh, my condolences, Doctor.Copy !req
55. We are bondedCopy !req
56. then, in our grief, you and I.Copy !req
57. As you know, I lost my son Randall
recently at Gallipoli.Copy !req
58. Forgive me, I...Copy !req
59. I understood that
Randall was your only son.Copy !req
60. Randall was my greatest joy.Copy !req
61. All this was meant to be his.Copy !req
62. So, have you brought it,
the Magdalene Grimoire?Copy !req
63. If I give you the book...Copy !req
64. can you really...Copy !req
65. Capture the Angel of Death?Copy !req
66. Oh, yes.Copy !req
67. With the spells recorded in this book,Copy !req
68. we can compel Death
to return our sons to us.Copy !req
69. Your Edmund
and my Randall will live again.Copy !req
70. It's all right, Dr. Hathaway. Here.Copy !req
71. Tonight, we will achieve
what no one before us has even attempted.Copy !req
72. We will summon and imprison Death.Copy !req
73. Here in the darkness.Copy !req
74. Here in the darkness.Copy !req
75. Corinthian.Copy !req
76. My creations stay in The Dreaming.Copy !req
77. They do not walk amongst the living,
killing mortals for pleasure.Copy !req
78. Isn't this why you created me?Copy !req
79. Why should we confine ourselves
to their sleeping minds?Copy !req
80. Here, in the waking world,
we're unstoppable.Copy !req
81. There is nothing preventing us from takingCopy !req
82. whoever, whatever we want.Copy !req
83. There is though.Copy !req
84. My Lord...Copy !req
85. Please, no.Copy !req
86. No, no, no, I beg you.Copy !req
87. Please...Copy !req
88. Here in the darkness.Copy !req
89. I give you a coin made from a stone.Copy !req
90. Here in the darkness.Copy !req
91. I give you a knife from under the hills,Copy !req
92. and I give you the blood
from out of my vein.Copy !req
93. Here in the darkness.Copy !req
94. I give you a song I stole from the dirt,Copy !req
95. and I give you a featherCopy !req
96. pulled from an angel's wing,Copy !req
97. for you to lift up into the heavens.Copy !req
98. Here in the darkness.
Here in the darkness.Copy !req
99. Here in the darkness.
Here in the darkness.Copy !req
100. I summon you with poison.Copy !req
101. Here in the darkness.
Here in the darkness.Copy !req
102. I summon you with pain.Copy !req
103. Here in the darkness.
Here in the darkness.Copy !req
104. I open the way, I open the gates.Copy !req
105. Here in the darkness.
Here in the darkness.Copy !req
106. I summon you
in the names of the old lords.Copy !req
107. Namtar, Allatu, Morax... Maborym calls you.Copy !req
108. Horvendile calls you.Copy !req
109. We summon you together. Come!Copy !req
110. Alex.Copy !req
111. Alex!Copy !req
112. Get that pouch for me.Copy !req
113. But be careful.Copy !req
114. Don't break the binding circle.Copy !req
115. Hmm. Sand.Copy !req
116. Now the jewel. There.Copy !req
117. Good.Copy !req
118. Well, let's see
what other treasures you have for us.Copy !req
119. - The bird!Copy !req
120. - Father!
- No! No! Stop.Copy !req
121. Move.Copy !req
122. Hmm.Copy !req
123. We'll let our guest recoverCopy !req
124. before we tell him our demands.Copy !req
125. Guards, watch him.Copy !req
126. I was powerless,Copy !req
127. trapped by a spell cast by an amateurCopy !req
128. with no concern for the damage
he had done to my realmCopy !req
129. and to his own.Copy !req
130. For the following morning,
there were some sleepers...Copy !req
131. Unity.Copy !req
132. who could not wake up.Copy !req
133. Unity.Copy !req
134. Rise and shine, dormouse.
Can't have you late to school, can we?Copy !req
135. Luvvie? Wake up. Unity?Copy !req
136. - What's wrong?
- Call the doctor.Copy !req
137. Hello, operator.Copy !req
138. The sleepy sickness,
as it was called,Copy !req
139. affected nearly one million men,
women and childrenCopy !req
140. in every city, town
and village in the world.Copy !req
141. Sykes! Alex!Copy !req
142. Oi!Copy !req
143. Good morning, Magus.Copy !req
144. Do I know you?Copy !req
145. No, but I know all about you, Roderick,Copy !req
146. and the being
you've trapped in your cellar.Copy !req
147. Blackmail then, is it? A shakedown?Copy !req
148. Not at all. I'm here to help you.Copy !req
149. You're gonna need
all the help you can get.Copy !req
150. There are benefits
to keeping one of The Endless close.Copy !req
151. The Endless?Copy !req
152. Did you think Death
was the only one in charge?Copy !req
153. The Reaper has family, you know.Copy !req
154. Desire, Destiny, Despair.Copy !req
155. Which one have I got then?Copy !req
156. Dream.Copy !req
157. What's the good
of a god who governs dreams?Copy !req
158. Not a god.Copy !req
159. More than a god.Copy !req
160. And are men not governed by their dreams?Copy !req
161. You've taken his vestments?Copy !req
162. The ruby, the pouch and the helm?Copy !req
163. - They can lend you an aspect of his power.Copy !req
164. Extend your lifespan,
allow you to manipulate others.Copy !req
165. But you must ensure that he never escapes.Copy !req
166. The binding circle is intact.Copy !req
167. The circle will not be enough.Copy !req
168. You must construct
a sphere of glass inside the circleCopy !req
169. to contain Dream's physical manifestation.Copy !req
170. No one must be allowed
to fall asleep in his presence, no one,Copy !req
171. or he will escape into your dreams.Copy !req
172. And you don't want that.Copy !req
173. There are Forced March tablets.Copy !req
174. Stimulants used to keep
trench soldiers awake.Copy !req
175. See that your guards
use them at all times.Copy !req
176. Um... Why are you helping me?
What... what is he to you?Copy !req
177. Well, you could say that
he made me what I am today.Copy !req
178. And if he ever gets free,
he could take it all back.Copy !req
179. We're being observed.Copy !req
180. What? There's nobody here.Copy !req
181. Well,
you'll have to deal with that one.Copy !req
182. Her name is Jessamy.Copy !req
183. She belongs to him.Copy !req
184. Best of luck... to the both of us.Copy !req
185. Will I see you again?Copy !req
186. You should hope not.Copy !req
187. You can go.Copy !req
188. Are you awake?Copy !req
189. Are you listening?Copy !req
190. I know who you are...Copy !req
191. Dream of The Endless.Copy !req
192. I captured you
according to the laws of magic.Copy !req
193. But it wasn't you I wanted.Copy !req
194. I wanted Death to return my son Randall,Copy !req
195. who died in the Gallipoli Campaign.Copy !req
196. If you give him back to me,
alive and well,Copy !req
197. I'll release you.Copy !req
198. Is that in your power, Lord of Dreams?Copy !req
199. No, I suppose not.Copy !req
200. So, then, what can you give me?Copy !req
201. If I let you go,
if I promise to give you back your things.Copy !req
202. What, power? Wealth? Immortality? Hmm?Copy !req
203. Is there nothing you can offer me?Copy !req
204. Well, have it your way then.Copy !req
205. And until you're ready to speak,Copy !req
206. I'll enjoy the gifts
you've already given me.Copy !req
207. Day after day,
he pleaded for giftsCopy !req
208. that are not mankind's
to receive nor mine to give.Copy !req
209. So I remained silent.Copy !req
210. And ten years later...Copy !req
211. - Enjoy yourself.
- Of course.Copy !req
212. though my presence there
remained a secret,Copy !req
213. my ruby, sand
and helm brought youth and prosperityCopy !req
214. to Roderick Burgess and his followers.Copy !req
215. Enjoy yourselves.Copy !req
216. But for the rest of the world,Copy !req
217. the suffering continued.Copy !req
218. Alex.Copy !req
219. You're supposed to be working,
not reading.Copy !req
220. Don't let your father catch you.Copy !req
221. Good evening.Copy !req
222. Excuse me, I'm afraid that there's
no more room inside this evening.Copy !req
223. - But if you'd all come back tomorrow—
- Been out here for hours. We're not goin'.Copy !req
224. But, I'm afraid that the Magus insists.Copy !req
225. Oh, the Magus insists, does he?Copy !req
226. And who are you to speak for the Magus?
Who the fuck are you?Copy !req
227. He's the Magus' son.Copy !req
228. You fucking twat.Copy !req
229. And he can do magic too.Copy !req
230. Can't you?Copy !req
231. Do you want him to put a curse on you?
Hex you and all your unborn children?Copy !req
232. No? Then you should leave right now.Copy !req
233. - Can we still come back tomorrow?
- Can they?Copy !req
234. Yeah. If they bring cash.Copy !req
235. Well, you heard him. Cash only.Copy !req
236. Now, piss off.Copy !req
237. Thanks for that.Copy !req
238. You didn't need my help.Copy !req
239. I'll bet you can do magic, can't you?Copy !req
240. Can't do much of anything, really.Copy !req
241. That's not true.Copy !req
242. You're more powerful than you know.Copy !req
243. You can get me in to see the Magus.Copy !req
244. I'm not staying with that thing
one second longer than I have to.Copy !req
245. We can't just leave him alone.Copy !req
246. Why not?
He's in his cage, isn't he?Copy !req
247. Sometimes
I wonder about this job.Copy !req
248. Really, "sometimes"?Copy !req
249. - I do not have the—
- Morning.Copy !req
250. - You seen Noel and Maurice?
- No.Copy !req
251. They're nearly half hour late.Copy !req
252. Uh, I could... watch him,Copy !req
253. until they get here, if you wanted to go.Copy !req
254. - See you tomorrow.
- Cheers, Alex.Copy !req
255. Hello.Copy !req
256. It's Alex. The Magus' son.Copy !req
257. See, I don't know
whether you can speak or...Copy !req
258. or even understand me, butCopy !req
259. I just wanted to ask...Copy !req
260. Are you all right in there?Copy !req
261. No, of course you're not.Copy !req
262. I'm... I'm sorry about all of this.Copy !req
263. He's not a bad man,
my father, he... he just...Copy !req
264. See, if you could bring Randall back,Copy !req
265. or... or just give him something, anything.Copy !req
266. Or even just speak to him.Copy !req
267. Then I am sure he would let you out.Copy !req
268. See, I... I would let you outCopy !req
269. if I could.Copy !req
270. You would, would you?Copy !req
271. - What were you doing down there, huh?
- Nothing.Copy !req
272. You were plotting his escape, weren't you?
Conspiring against me?Copy !req
273. - Hmm?
- No, Father.Copy !req
274. - What did he say to you?
- He didn't say anything.Copy !req
275. Know what would happen if you let him out?Copy !req
276. I won't, Magus. I promise.Copy !req
277. He'd slaughter you.Copy !req
278. He'd slaughter all of us.
Is that what you want?Copy !req
279. Is it? Do you wanna die, Alex? Do you?Copy !req
280. 'Cause if you do, it's relatively simple.Copy !req
281. Fuck.Copy !req
282. Roddy?Copy !req
283. What is it? What's wrong?Copy !req
284. It's Jessamy.Copy !req
285. Who's Jessamy?Copy !req
286. I've been trying to shoot
this wretched bird for ten years now.Copy !req
287. It can't be the same bird, can it?Copy !req
288. - Did he tell you to say that? Did he? Hmm?
- No, Father. He didn't say anything.Copy !req
289. Prove it to me.Copy !req
290. Shoot the fucking bird.Copy !req
291. Ethel.Copy !req
292. Fucking hell.Copy !req
293. - Shall we call the fire brigade?
- We are the fire brigade. Come on.Copy !req
294. Idiot. You could have shattered the glass.Copy !req
295. Clear that mess up.Copy !req
296. The savagery
of my captors bespoke a worldCopy !req
297. whose dreams in my absence
turned darker still.Copy !req
298. A world which would soon be at war again.Copy !req
299. A world still ravaged by the disease
which doctors named...Copy !req
300. encephalitis lethargica.Copy !req
301. I just want to sleep, please.Copy !req
302. Some begged for sleep
that would not come.Copy !req
303. Others lived as perpetual sleepwalkers.Copy !req
304. Most slept without waking.Copy !req
305. Sorry, sir.Copy !req
306. What's that you're reading?Copy !req
307. Uh...Copy !req
308. I'm afraid I'm doing much more sleeping
than I am reading at the moment.Copy !req
309. Have you read Vile Bodies?Copy !req
310. Now that'll keep you awake.Copy !req
311. You all right?Copy !req
312. Well, I'm going to have a baby.Copy !req
313. That's wonderful news.Copy !req
314. He wants me to get rid of it.Copy !req
315. In fact, he's...
calling the doctor right now.Copy !req
316. I'll be fine.Copy !req
317. Not your worry.Copy !req
318. What is it? What's wrong?Copy !req
319. She's taken it all.Copy !req
320. The helmet, the pouch,
the ruby, the grimoire,Copy !req
321. and 200,000 in cash.Copy !req
322. She's taken far more than that.Copy !req
323. Find her. Bring her back here now.Copy !req
324. Where are you going?Copy !req
325. To see how badly Dream of The Endless
wants out of his cage.Copy !req
326. The woman who lives with me has goneCopy !req
327. and robbed me of my fortune.Copy !req
328. She's also robbed you.Copy !req
329. She's taken your helm,
your sand and your ruby.Copy !req
330. Now, I can unlock this,
you can go after her...Copy !req
331. if you give me what I've been asking for.Copy !req
332. Wealth, youth, immortality.Copy !req
333. Oh, you're a god.
These things are nothing to you.Copy !req
334. Don't you want your weapons
and your freedom?Copy !req
335. Speak to me! Speak to me! Speak to me!Copy !req
336. - Come on! Speak to me!
- It's all right, Father.Copy !req
337. Get away from me.Copy !req
338. If you were any kind of son to me...Copy !req
339. If Randall were alive today—Copy !req
340. If Randall were alive,
he would hate you as much as I do.Copy !req
341. Sir?Copy !req
342. You're never getting out of there.Copy !req
343. Never.Copy !req
344. Sir, can you hear me?Copy !req
345. Sir?Copy !req
346. He's not moving. Is he...Copy !req
347. He's dead.Copy !req
348. Don't do it, sir.Copy !req
349. He'll kill us.Copy !req
350. What would your father say?Copy !req
351. I need to think.Copy !req
352. Sir?Copy !req
353. Are you all right?Copy !req
354. My father, he, uh...Copy !req
355. He's dead.Copy !req
356. I'm so sorry, sir.Copy !req
357. I'm so sorry, Alex.Copy !req
358. Out of loss, new love was born,Copy !req
359. as was new life.Copy !req
360. For nine months later,
Ethel Cripps gave birth to a son.Copy !req
361. My mum used to say that if I was good,Copy !req
362. when I went to sleep, a man would come,Copy !req
363. sprinkle sand in my eyes.Copy !req
364. Make all of my dreams come true.Copy !req
365. But the Sandman's not coming.Copy !req
366. From now on, Johnny,Copy !req
367. you and I are going to have to
make our own dreams come true.Copy !req
368. And nothing and no one
is going to stand in our way.Copy !req
369. How is he today, Rogers?Copy !req
370. Buggered if I know, sir.Copy !req
371. Moved his hand this morning. Right hand.Copy !req
372. Oh, my God.Copy !req
373. Alex?Copy !req
374. Hello.Copy !req
375. This is my friend, Paul.Copy !req
376. Paul, this is our unwilling guest.Copy !req
377. Look, we've been talking, Paul and I,Copy !req
378. and if I let you out,Copy !req
379. will you promise not to harm us?Copy !req
380. If you could just speak to us.Copy !req
381. You see, I told you.Copy !req
382. I'm telling you, you have to keep trying.Copy !req
383. Show him that he can trust you.Copy !req
384. Show him that you mean it.Copy !req
385. I do mean it.Copy !req
386. Just promise that
you won't harm me or Paul,Copy !req
387. and I will let you out.Copy !req
388. Should I have
believed him this time?Copy !req
389. Should I have forgiven him
for murdering my raven?Copy !req
390. Perhaps.Copy !req
391. But in the end...Copy !req
392. I could not.Copy !req
393. I could have
asked you for wealthCopy !req
394. or power, like my father did.Copy !req
395. But all I ever wanted
was to be free of you.Copy !req
396. Surely you want that too.Copy !req
397. Alex, darling, please.Copy !req
398. Take me upstairs, Paul.Copy !req
399. I won't be coming down here again.Copy !req
400. Old Dracula here's not givin' an inch.Copy !req
401. - Why do you call it Dracula?
- 'Cause I think it's one of them Draculas.Copy !req
402. What do you think it is?Copy !req
403. I try not to.Copy !req
404. You know what I think about?Copy !req
405. Majorca.Copy !req
406. Four days... and I'll be on a beach.Copy !req
407. - Stinking of suntan lotion.
- Lucky bugger.Copy !req
408. I was on Corfu on holiday once.Copy !req
409. I met this right fit type
at the hotel in the morning...Copy !req
410. Fred!Copy !req
411. Fred, stop it! You'll... Fred!Copy !req
412. Don't move! Stay where you are!Copy !req
413. What... what's he got in his hands?Copy !req
414. Oi! Open your hands, now!Copy !req
415. Paul?Copy !req
416. - Well, hello.Copy !req
417. Where did you come from?Copy !req
418. Hello.Copy !req
419. It's... it's you.Copy !req
420. You're... you're free.Copy !req
421. I am.Copy !req
422. And you have any idea what it was like?Copy !req
423. Confined in a cage for over a century?Copy !req
424. Do you understand the damage
you've done to your world?Copy !req
425. I'm sorry. I... I didn't know. Please.Copy !req
426. Your punishment, then, shall be a gift.Copy !req
427. I give you this,Copy !req
428. the gift... of eternal... sleep.Copy !req
429. - Alex. Alex, wake up, please.Copy !req
430. More than a century
of tortured sleep,Copy !req
431. of Dreams and Nightmares running riotCopy !req
432. was coming to an end.Copy !req
433. He's free.Copy !req
434. He's out of his cage.Copy !req
435. So, I'm afraid I'm gonna have to run.Copy !req
436. And I'm not gonna stop
until I've reshaped this worldCopy !req
437. to look just like me.Copy !req
438. Sir. Sir!Copy !req
439. Oh, my goodness.Copy !req
440. Sir.Copy !req
