Fresh medical water
From Nile!

Buy my water!

Drink this and live long.

Water, old man!

Let me show you...

one of most precious
slave girl.

18-year-old girl
in the bloom of youth.

Look at her eyes!

Show the rest.

Awful!

That's cheating!

They say, Where beauty lacks,
you'll find a maid

Stop the rubbish talk.

- Let us see next girl.
- I have another.



Are you ready?

Behold a most ravishing maid.

Long and slim legs...

Full breasts...

We want to see below her eyes.

I'll take her!

One and half pieces
of gold.

Get yourself some candy.

100 pieces of gold.

Not bad, handsome man.

450 pieces.

How about f-f-five hundreds.

- 600.
- 650.

Ummm...700 pieces!

- 800.
- 1,301.

2,000.

I'll give you 5,000.

- 10,000.
- Sold!

Congratulation!

Sold for 10,000...,

Oops, 10,000 pieces of gold!?

She's mine.
Forever mine!

Make way!

Where's she?

Don't take my girl.
Catch the thief!

Those fatty and old men of...

Baghdad, you think
you can catch me?

Are you shocked?

Sorry...but

I wanted you so much.

Strange place.

A fancy house!
Let's check it out.

Absolutely empty.
Not even a cat!

Well, a cat at least.

My legs feel like lead.
I'm dead tired.

Aren't you tired?

Not really.

Tell me your name.

Miriam.

I'm Aldin.

I sell water.

I'd never dreamed of lying
a bed with a girl like you.

Good that I came to Baghdad.

Tell me, Miriam.

I know that I pleased
you just now.

I too was pleased and am happy.

But why with me?
I'm just a water vendor.

You gave me
such immense joy.

I did?

I was not bought as
a slave by you.

I'm here because
I like you.

All right.

We ain't master or slave,
but a man and a woman?

I seem to have lost in
this match of passion.

Miriam...

Let me make a return match?

Let me prove that
I am the master of passion.

It was not locked last night.

Ouch!

Aldin, the window...!

You two play a sweet
tune together!

You peeping bastard!

I shared the pleasure
of music all night.

Who are you?

Shalieman,
owner of this palace.

Sorry for barging in.
We mean no harm.

Why do you lock us in?

Relax, young man.

You'll have all comforts...

necessary for you.
So enjoy your stay.

I may enjoy it here from
my little peeky-nook.

Shut up!

We aren't a show.

Be quiet...

or I'll call the police.

Miriam, we are stuck in a cage.

My love-birds are now
getting my point.

Your tune of love was the
nicest one I've ever heard.

Please feel free making
a lovely tune.

Listen, Mum.

I need her.

Oh those rose-buds
of her tits...

and bite her little toes...

Please, please Mum.
Help me get her back.

Your dad will do it for you.

Right, darling?

You are the chief of police.

To insult our son...

is an insult to...

our house and to yourself...

The Chief of Police of
all Baghdad.

You only think of your medicine...

when our only son is suffering.

He might've been a
guinea pig in his before life.

Don't turn deaf ears to me!

Inspector Badli to see you, sir.

Any news about that slave girl?

She and the water vendor are
in Shalieman's house.

Umh.

It appears that Shalieman...

locks up them in his house.

As you know,
Shalieman is a bit strange.

But he is in favour with our king.

What could we do?

Why don't we resort to force?

With our usual tricks.

It's a good chance to
get rid of our old friend.

With our usual tricks...

I leave it up to you.

Do it well.

There'll be a meeting
for promotion soon.

Madam, be aware that
you are playing with fire.

Beware that you'll be judged
for promotion soon.

Right, Madam.

Open O' Sesame!

Hello, my beautiful Hallimar.

Don't be so insolent.

My humble apologies.

The party is over.

Everybody clear out of here.

Madia.

Clear out of here.

Do as your father says.

Don't you dare touch my arrow.

You should thank me.

That fish eats flesh.

Who cares!

You don't know me.

I do.

You are a woman, Madia.

Badli...

I'll kill you.

I Will kill him.

We want two things.

One is to kill Shalieman
and rob his treasures.

Another is...

to catch the water vendor
and the slave girl.

And bring them to Badli.

Madia?
Where is my daughter?

What are you
standing there for?

Get your horse!

What's going on?!

Beats me.

A war!

Open Up!
We'll burn to death!

Where is Shalieman?

Please spare my life.
Girls don't kill people.

Help! open up!

I hate to become Yakitori!

Miriam...Miriam!

Did you open the door?

You're the water vendor.

Miriam!

Take all the treasure!

Bastard!

Your name?

I'm Aldin and she is my...

- Aldin.
- Yes.

You killed Shalieman,
didn't you?

Are you kidding?

Rough him up.

I killed nobody!
It's a frame up!

- Miriam!
- Aldin!

Millam.

Inspector Badli,
Send her to my son.

She's my girl.
She's mine.

You're my girl.
Yes, my girl.

We're together at last!

You missed me, didn't you?

A case of pearl before swine.

Please don't hit me.

- Should I stop?
- Please.

Spit it out then.

If I do, you let me go?

You'll stand a trial in court.

- And then?
- You'll be beheaded.

You killed Shalieman.

Tell us...

You murdered Shalieman!

Another day of torture.

You die hard.

While there is life,
there is hope.

Listen, the forensic doc
is my friend.

You won't die.

You'll be buried alive
at a graveyard.

Crawl up and get off
by yourself.

Wow, I don't know how
to thank you.

But why are you helping
me to escape?

A big eater like you has...

a big heart and do
nothing bad, so they say.

Water!

Why don't you sleep
with me...

Miriam.

It's been a month.

You don't even give me
a chance to show myself.

Miriammm...

Wake up!

Such a pitiful bloke!

Open your legs.

This will do to
every women.

Be a man!

Be a man.

That's what mum always
says to you.

Let's see...
There you are.

A stimulant.

Thanks to you, Dad.
A specialist in medicine.

Oh, my sweet Miriam.
You're my girl.

I've become big and
strong tonight.

Open your legs!

Let me hold you.

MY PM“, my pearl.

Wha-wha-what's
wr-wr-wrong with my...

Y-y-your bo-bo-body...

What did you do to him?!

Come right down!

I may be able to
help you, so get here.

This fool hurled himself down.

I'll witness like this.

In return, you'll be
my property.

I'm looking for a girl, Miriam.

Her name is Miriam.

She's young, 16 or 17.

I heard the name at the
Police Chief's house before.

Is Miriam here?

She was, but she left.

- When?
- A long time ago.

- Where to?
- Don't know.

Miriam...

A girl Called Miriam.

Miriam...

Be brave Miriam.

It's coming.

Every woman goes
through this.

And she becomes a mother.

Miriam, push a little harder.

Think the man who
fathered your child.

Bear his image in
this difficult moment.

That's it.
That's the way.

AI-di-n ...

Did you say, Miriam?

I did.
You know her?

She's down there.

- Down there?!
- Inspector Badli's place.

Thanks, old man!

Jallis.

Jallis...the baby's name?

It's good, isn't it?

Why yes!
Beautiful name.

What's wrong, Miriam?

Miriam! Miriam!

- Who the hell are you?
- Let me in, please!

My wife, Miriam is in there.

Well, you know
money talks.

Yeah...but...

No money!
Forget it.

Please, please just...

let me know if she's fine.

Good grief...
Let me see.

Jallis...

My dear child,
mother must leave you now.

Your mother...

Your mother...

She must go to heaven.

I pray that you will grow
up a good child.

Let...me...ask you...

one...last...favour.

One...just one...

Tell...your...father,
Aldin that...

she...loved him...

and...died smiling.

Carry this message
in your heart.

She died?!

- That's impossible!
- It's not.

- When?
- Last night.

The old housekeeper said so.
Sorry.

Miriam is dead?

Inspector, Badli?

Who is it?

You've got promoted.

Who are you?

Poor Miriam.

Ah, you!...
You didn't die.

Hey, Aldin.

It's not my fault.
It's a misunderstanding.

Miriam was your...

No, please!

Spare my life!

I quit.
Listen Badli.

Miriam would'nt
come back to life

even if I killed you.

I've almost lost myself.

Good grief.

Open O' Sesame!

Ummm...Open Sesame?...

An automatic door!

Open some more Sesame?

Hey, be careful,
Sesame.

Close O' Sesame.

Be quiet, Sesame.

Intruder!

Open...flour?

No?

Open rice...

Millet...

Open beans?

Open corn...or peanuts!

No..no..red beans?

Ummm..open garlic...

Ahh-Open pepper...
Open...

- Sesame!
- That's right!

Open...Hunh!?

You've got a lot of nerve
trying to steal from thieves.

You won't get out alive!

Hey, hey, I'm unarmed.

Then, use this.

Grab the knife, punk!

Shhhhh!
Don't wake the bad up!

I said pick it up.

- If I do?
- You die.

Then I refuse.

See, you won't.

- Open...
- Don't play with me!

You wanna fight, lady?
You really do, eh?

What the hell!

Oww...

You are the water
vendor at Shalieman's.

And it's you who saved
me from the fire.

You were locked up.
How did you get out?

I managed somehow.

You came back to
avenge yourself?

Avenge? No.

Gold is the reason
to come back.

Gold?
For what?

You see...

I'll invest the gold...

and become rich.

You don't know what
I am capable of.

The world is big.

Why don't you come
away with me?

Leave this dingy hole
of a cave.

Be free!

Cool!

Why not.

You know,
you have a big mouth.

But you are small.

Don't worry.
I'll take care of you.

- What's that?
- My gift for you.

Dad grabbed this thing.

It's a child's hobby horse.

Shut up and get on!

Hold on tight.

Open O' Sesame!

Flying hobby horse?!

Aldin!

Are you all right?

What is it?!

Aren't there any men
in this island?

No one but us.

This is what I heard,
woman's island.

Oh my god!

I am the Queen of this island.

Are you...a wo-woman?
Or a goddess?

You will enjoy yourself
in a fountain of wine and love.

I will?
Yes, I will.

When do we start?

Right now.
Come with me.

Not so fast!

You can't take my Aldin
away from me.

My Aldin?

Madam, move!

Women just fall for me,
you know.

Get out of here.

This knife ain't made of rubber.

Shut your mouth,
or you'll die.

You talk!

Stop!
Will you just stop it?

She's just a small girl.

I will spare her life for your sake.

But she must leave here.

Leave right now!

I will.
I don't wanna stay here.

Aldin, are you coming with me?

I'm...not leaving.

Why this is paradise!
I must explore.

So what you say
a big thing is this, huh?

You let me down.

Sorry if I did, Madia.

God willing.
I hope we meet again.

Have a pleasant voyage!

You are a fool, Aldin!

It'll be dawn soon.
Rest a while longer.

Good night.
I'll see you tomorrow night.

If you want to keep
going like this...

you must promise
me one thing.

Do not open any door
in the heart of this jungle.

I promise.

Good boy.

O' my queen.

Where are you,
queen of pleasure?

Let's make love throughout
the day and the night.

Aldin!

Aldin is mine.

Make him spit water.

Don't lie down on the job.

Move your ass, will ya?

You heard him.

Leave the drowned.
Move, everyone!

Hey, who are you?

Who? Me?

I was just saved from the sea.

Get this free rider!

Make him work.
Nothing free on this boat.

Aye aye, sir.

Row with all your strength!

Hey, you!

What do you think you're doing?

I'm thinking about
woman's island.

So you're dreaming.

Woman's island?
No way.

Believe it or not,
I escaped from there.

All you see is women,
they're voluptuous.

The queen was the
most glamorous.

She wriggled her body...

holding her plump breasts
against my chest...

What's next?

She said, I'm desperately
in love with you.

I am wrapped in
the fire of passion now

- That's it.
- No!

Paddling makes me slur.

You row, then I talk.

Why yes!

We held each other tight.

Her legs wound around
my waist.

I trailled my hand
over her legs.

And slipped it between her...

What's going on!?
The ship is whirling.

Have you gone mad?!

Yipes!

My boatswain lost his mind!

It must be the egg of
of the bird we've never seen.

They say it's the biggest
in the world.

Hey buddy,
it could be a good omen!

Let's take a bite!

Heave ho!

Heave ho!
Heave ho!

- Heave ho!
- Steer to the left.

Bird!
It's his egg!

What a spooky island.

We survived.

So what?
I lost all my goods.

I'll go and see if anyone is on this island.

Is anybody here?

There you are!

But without the flesh.

Is anybody there?

900s!

Damn!
That hurt.

I need a drink.

Wine?

Mighty good!

Something in the
way of a meal...

A butcher's shop full...

How'd that happen?

That wine must've
gone straight into my head?

This is real meat!

What's next?

Maybe I go to bed?

Abracadabra...

Or magical boat?

Sail the Boat!

Moving?!

How about a window?

Oh really moving!

Where to, master?

We are out to sea,
as you commanded.

Give me my destination, sir?

By Ship?

That's right, sir.

I'll do anything you'd
ask, master.

Fantastic!
I know where to go.

Set sail to the port of Basra!

So shall be it, master.

A real captain wears
fancy clothes.

How about a silk garments
for me, Spirit?

Now I need handy seamen
up on deck.

Don't stand there.
Move!

Tell me though,
why are you helping me?

I was created by Satan
and served him as slave.

But he got bored and
dumped me 5,000 years ago.

I vowed that...

I'd serve the first man...

who found me here, as my master.

You are the first man
who came across me.

That's just great!

I have just one more
small favour to ask.

I want a beautiful
ravishing maid.

What's the matter with you?

Sorry, master.

Women bring bad luck
to a ship.

Oh, I see.
That's all right.

Women.

I'll have a girl in every port I stop at.

I've got a magic ship.

I'll collect the rarest treasures...

from across the seven seas.

I'll be the richest man
on earth.

15 years have passed.

Eggs again?

Anything wrong with that?

Eating, sleeping and
making love.

That's your idea of fun.

We imps have nothing...

while Allah and Satan
have all powers.

What else is left for us...

other than sex.

You've become
a hopeless sexual maniac.

I got tired of you.

We've been married for
500 years.

So I'm not surprised.

Let's have some fun.

Do you call that fun?

Heads or tails?

Heads.

Here goes.

Tails.
I choose the position tonight.

Whatever...

We've done the Kangaroo one.

Dolphin's has been
over 50 times.

Try something else.

How about a bird?

No way.

Oh, we haven't tried this!

- A cockroach!
- You what?!

It's worth trying.

Are you out of your mind?

I won the flip of coin.
You must obey me.

How anyone calls that erotic.

Snug as two bugs in a rag.

Why can't I have a love affair
at the risk of my life?

That's human's choice.

Our choices are greater
than theirs.

- Hey, hey. Stop!
- What's now?

I just saw a man.

There you go again.

Ah...He's positively beautiful.

Sweetheart, I'm warning you.

He's not of our race.

I know.

Let see, how I overcome
our differences?

- Impossible.
- Oh yeah?

- No, you can't
- Yes, I can

I saw a better looking one...

in Baghdad the other day.

I wonder.

I refuse to listen to you,
until I see that guy.

Seeing is believing.

Hey!

All right, all right.

Stop.

Let's see the guy.

No, no. Go and wake
up your man first.

It's a girl!
You tricked me!

I said a better looking one.

I didn't say guy, you know.

Ouch! That hurt.

Now then.
she'll give him up'?

Here you go.

What?!
She's in love with him?

I am Jallis from Baghdad.

I am Aslan from Basra.

- Aslan.
- Jallis.

You are beautiful.

The both said same thing.

We both seem lost.

Looks like all hell is
going to break lose.

Jallis.

Aslan...

Aslan!

It wasn't a dream.

Jallis, my dear.
You are up.

Today you'll join the
Caliph's harem.

Father.

Like I told you,
I will not.

Yes, you will.

My dear child...

It's a great honour
to enter the royal harem.

You are the daughter of
a slave woman.

I adopted you and treated you...

as my own child.

You owe me a lot for that.

You don't wish to obey me?

Think it over, will you?

Jallis young lady,
it's time to dress.

Listen, let me ask you a favour.

- I need some boy's clothes.
- Boy's clothes?

I want to dress like a boy.

Aslan.

C'mon, forget it.

That's love of human being!

I'll please you tonight
with my excellent techniques.

Filthy sex is all you
can think about!

What you think about has
nothing to do with sex, huh?

I'm off now.

Come with me, or
I'll be gone.

Hey!

Come with me now.

All right.
I'm extremely mad.

Good bye!

Heads or tails.
She'll come with me.

Here you go.

Look at that.
Sideway...

which means...

I'll go for a simple
life of an old bachelor.

Now I know!
I shall go to Baghdad.

I will go and find Jallis there.

Where did you come from?

No saddle...

Oh?

You do have a saddle.

It's convenient.

Run faster.

It's getting dark.

Let's camp out here.

A tent?

Suddenly a tent?

Two pillows...

Who's bed is this?

I saw a tent from afar.

Can I sleep here?

It's not my tent.
I've just come by.

I've come from Baghdad.

Baghdad?

Ha ha..
That's where I am going.

Do you happen to
know a girl called Jallis?

- Jallis?
- I love her.

She lives in Baghdad.

I think I know her.

Oh! Really?

Where does she live and
what does she do?

Why don't we lie down?

You know what?

Put your hand on my breast.

On your breast?

But...I am afraid
your tastes are...

You'll be pleased.

Don't be silly.

Are you afraid?

If you don't, I won't tell you.

Hey“No“.

Do as I say, okay?

You...but you're a woman!

Aslan!

Jallis!

Ms. Jallis.

Your father is worried about you.

You must come with us.

Excellency!

Umh?

I've brought you a good news.

We'll soon have a great guest...

Sinbad who is the
imminent merchant.

According to the source...

He is the richest of all
merchants on earth.

Huhhh.

If you are befriend with
this merchant...

He'd have much to offer
where you are lacking.

How dare you talk of
what I am lacking.

How'd Sinbad know my lacking?

I'd like to carry out an idea.

If you'll allow your Excellency?

- Allowed.
- Very well, sir.

- Are you leaving?
- I am.

- When will you be back?
- Don't know.

Do you love me?

Umm...I do...

Get lost!

Badli, she can't wait
forever to become...

your wife, now can she?

You now talk like
other fathers do.

Incidentally Sinbad time
is approaching.

Incidentally yourself.

He'll be an easy prey for the condors.

Good!

We'll talk about your
daughter after that.

Don't you dare making
any noise!

Go now, Madia.

You deceive Sinbad
no matter what.

Your honour, Sinbad.

I and aging father
have brought oil from afar.

We wish to take rest...

here in your oasis tonight.

Why yes!
Be my guest.

Are you doing well
in your new trade, Madia?

It's me Aldin.

Aldin!

Don't be afraid.

I can guess what's
in those jars of oil.

A full-grown
woman you've become!

Aldin...

if only you knoew...

that I'd thought of killing myself...

since that day
I was forced to abandon you.

I was only hoping
to see you again someday.

Charge!
To the attack!

What's the hell going on!'?

Badli!

You traitor!!

So it's you!
You betrayed me.

Beg pardon?

Do I know you, sir?

You sneaky rat!!!

Dad!

Dad!...dad!!

Badli!

Let her go.

It take long
to catch her.

Are you Mr. Sinbad?

Yes, I am.

It was a close call, sir.

Allow me to introduce myself...

the Captain of Police
in Baghdad.

I enjoy the great
services of the police.

I feel most safe.

It is my honour to
escort you in Baghdad.

I'm grateful for that.

It is a pleasure to
have your company.

Pleasure is mine too.

I am staying at the
house of the Captain of Police.

It should be the safest
place in town.

Have you come for the
purpose of trade?

Trade you say?
No.

No'?
Well then...

What is your reason?

You never know I might
be in the position to help you.

Captain, as you know...

I own the greatest
treasure of all times.

I'd like to buy
Royal crown.

Hunh?

I should like to be crowned.

Hunh? B...Baghdad's?

That's right.

I heard the King owns
the greatest treasures.

I want us to compete...

in the arena to see
who's greater.

Would you be able to help me?

Aslan?

Are you thirsty?

Take him away!

Enlist him in the slave
service of the army.

- Aslan.
- Jallis.

Jallis was the child of
the water vendor.

I can use of this situation
in my favour.

Sinbad said what?!

He wishes to
compete for a crown...

with our king.

He's out of place!

Please tell me your answer.

What do you think?

Well, what would hurt
our position...

whoever the winner be?

Sinbad is a rich upstart.

It'd be easier to control him.

Oh, I see.

You'll make a history.
No doubt.

Your treasures are
truly magnificent.

I shall take care to
watch over them.

Miriam?

- What, sir?
- Who's that girl?

Ah...she's my daughter, Jallis.

Jallis.

She's Miriam.

Children of Allah.

People of Baghdad.

Worthy subjects of my crown!

I, Caliph Mohammed
Binn Sabaiq, the Fourth...

Ruler of Baghdad swear
in the name of Allah...

that Sinbad and myself
shall enter into...

competition of our riches
in such ways that...

you will judge before your eyes...

the power and the extent
of said riches.

The one who win this
competition shall be...

the next Caliph of Baghdad!

I shall see a poor man
lose his head.

- We shall see!
- Behold the greatest fool.

The rules and proceedings
of the games are...

that there will be 13 rounds.

The power and beauty
will be measured...

and the score...

will be recorded on the board.

White is for the Caliph.

Black is for Sinbad.

Let's start!

The first round!

The second round.

The third round!

Don't even try corrupting
the holiness of this crown.

Get water!
Hurry!

Why that's a mermaid.

Yes, but it's gone now.

The only one left in the world.

Too bad you've marked her.

Behold this mysterious dancer.

Mark her indifference...

to the pounding of your heart.

She knows your fear and guilt
and thrusts her sword...

into the bearer of fear and guilt.

I bear no fear or guilt
to harm to your throne.

So my husband killed
Kamhakim.

He ordered the bandit be killed.

The plot was that...

the bandit was used as
an ambush...

and I staged the rescue
of Sinbad by killing him.

Kamhakim was my friend.

I was forced to betray him.

That swine!
He'll pay for this.

Calm down Madam...

You stay out of this!

What?!

Kill the traitor!

M...m...medicine...

My own prime minister?!

Kamhakim has been avenged.

That was close.

Come come, juries!

- The sixth round!
It may go into extra rounds.

You never know
who'll be the winner.

Definitely it will go
into extra rounds.

The score is exactly tied.

Now for the last
13th round!

That will give us the winner.

We'll experience
a great moment of history.

Bring the executioner now.

The 13th round!

Ladies and gentlemen.

The last treasure
to compete is a horse.

It will be a race.

The horse that fetches
the Caliph's pennant first...

from 50km away from
this Coliseum.

The fastest horse in the world.

The damn hobby horse!

Objection to that entry!

It belongs to me.

Nonsense!

It's mine.

It was given by a girl
named Madia 15 years ago.

Shut of your filthy mouth!

It was confiscated from
the cave of bandit, Kamhakim.

Will you admit...

that you consorted with
the enemy of Baghdad?

Ummm...it's not a real horse.

It flies.

Fly or not, it is a horse.

And it is my entry.

All right then.
I'll ride on my horse.

You what?

With your permission...

I can't be a mere spectator
at a disadvantage.

Mr. Sinbad.

I shall ride the hobby horse.

Place your bet!
Give it a whirl!

On your marks!

Get ready!

Remember the swinging
blade in the torture chamber?

You'll end up in
that chamber.

We'll see about that.

The last lap!

Make way!

I've never ridden a horse before.

The pennant shall be
examined.

The winner is...

the Caliph of Baghdad!

I protest!

Our arrival was simultaneous.

It was a draw.

Yours bears defects.

Desecration therefore
you lost Sinbad.

That wasn't the
conditions of the race.

You were told it's
holy banner of Baghdad.

You soiled it.

Therefore, you have lost.

Executioner!
You have an order to carry out.

Wait one moment.

I've become known as
Sinbad of the sea.

If I am to die,
I die on my ship.

My ship is moored
at the estuary.

The rest of my treasures
are laden on that ship.

Please take a look at them
before cutting off my head.

My treasures will be
all yours, my lord.

Wait Baldi...
I mean Prime Minister!

- Prime Minister?
- Yes, you will be...

if you remain with me.

Where is the treasure?

The hold is the empty!

Now O' spirit, sail my ship
to the end of the earth!

Very well, master.

Pretty neat trick, eh?

O' Caliph of Baghdad.

It's great see you, Your Majesty
in good humour.

Yes, Mister Prime Minister.

How would you feel to
be the Caliph of Baghdad?

Excellent!
Super excellent.

Your Majesty...

I'd like to hear of the
new policies you may plan.

Here you go with
my new policies.

Take note.

The people of Baghdad
shall lick their noses...

when they greet each other.

Huh?

You heard me.
Lick one's nose.

Y...you mean like a dog?

That's an order.
Take it down.

Your reply?

Y...yes.

Say it louder.

YES like this.

- Yes, sir.
- Louder.

YES, sir!

Good.

Next.
How to greet to your superior...

A handstand!

Those are not policies,
Your Majesty.

Tell me what then?

Housing, prices, education...

The prices of rice and salt
to increase tenfold.

Price down
one tenth on pepper.

That's absurd.

Are you telling them
to eat pepper everyday?

Arrest those
who oppose to that.

Crack down on them!

That's it.
Push it through the Senate.

YES, sir!

Handstanding!

The third policy.

His Majesty ordered
a tower to be built.

A tower?
What kind?

A tall one.

A tower to reach the sun.

Build for what?

To consume taxes.

Nonsense!

A sailor never can
be a politician.

Heavy taxation...

We want that money
for our pension.

You'll be executed
if you oppose to that.

Any objections?

We'll set to build
from tomorrow.

Handstanding!

The seventh policy.

Go to war!

Your Majesty, you are
in good humour.

Don't be so formal.

Let's enjoy good wine.

Listen Jallis...

I have a great news
for my family...

that His Majesty wishes
to take you as his first wife.

Yes I do.

What's that attitude?!

You are most honoured!

Please forgive me,
Your Majesty.

Jallis!

Easy on her.

Don't yell at her.

His Majesty the Caliph of Baghdad!

Have you reached the sun yet?

No, sir.
We have done everything.

We've drained the mental
capacities of our scientists...

and the physical capacities
of the masons and slaves...

without success.

Are you saying
you want to give up?

I am.
If we go on...

the tower will collapse
due to its enormous weigh.

Collapse?
When?

I don't know, sir...

Then keep going till it does.

Your Majesty,
Baghdad will be crushed!

Do as I say, or
you'll be crushed.

If not the sun,
go to the moon!

Hold it.

We must kill him
for our Baghdad.

If your wish is to save
Baghdad,“

we need to have the
citizens with us.

Trust me.
I'll handle this.

Drained your all capacities?

What are you saying?

We want...

a king who rules well.?

Huh, not so easy.

What is a King?

It's POWER!

When a King sneezes,
doctors heads roll.

When a King yawns,
thousands of women dance.

That's a KING!!

Since I happen to
become a King...

I need to see how
far a King can go.

I shall go all the way
to see...

what Power is all about.

Now I tell you.

Do as I say.

Jallis?

You are Jallis.

What're you doing?

The war front...

Umh?
What do you see?

Soldiers who are killing
many soldiers.

- Jallis.
- Your Majesty.

Your father Badli told me...

that you refuse to
join my harem.

- Why?
- Not my wish, your Majesty.

Not?

Why not?

Forgive me
but I have Aslan.

- Aslan?
- Your Majesty.

He's with the slave-army.

Is he your lover?

I love him.

I wish to choose my
own love life.

Look who's talking.

I wish to choose
my own love life?

You wouldn't dare!

Come to my bed tonight.
That's an order!

No please.

I'll let Aslan decide this.

Your Majesty?

He'll renounce his love for you.

Don't overdo it, kid.

Aslan was executed for
attempted desertion.

Aslan!

It's my fault Jallis.

My fault that I enlisted
him in the slave-army.

If you do not want to...

join the Caliph's harem,
you need not.

I'd give my life to
our king

if I can make up
for Aslan's death.

No father!

I'll join.

I can't let you die.

I will not testify.

But you will.

Fool!

Oh my dear Badli!

How wonderful to see you!

I'd never fail to see you.

I rendered service
to your late husband.

You've taken over my
late husband's position.

I suppose it's my turn
to serve you tonight.

Speaking of your
late husband...

didn't he make a drug
that make the dead talk?

Oh Badli,
it's so good.

Now bite my tits.

Where can I find the drug?

It's on...the 2nd shelf
3rd aisle.

Rough me up, will you?

As you wish.

All I need is that drug.

Why are we here for?

It's the valley of the
starving lions.

They'll eat us alive!

Don't look!

Why hide?
I want to say thank you.

Aslan.

We, imps are not to be
exposed to humans...

or we'll die on the spot.

But who cares!?
I'd rather die...

if I don't say
I love you now.

Wake up!

Oh?

Oh my god!

C'mon, Jallis is in trouble!

There you come again!

Get Aslan to Jallis.
Hurry!

Don't take my Aslan!

- Jallis.
- What?

Not so loud.
Be more romantic.

Your Majesty.

I love you Jallis.

From now on,
you'll be on your own.

No more apron strings.

I did what I could do
the best for him.

So long, Aslan.

Who's there'?

Aslan!

Aslan?

Jallis!

- You are alive!
- Jallis!

Aslan!

Let this opportunity
work for me.

It's the King's order.

Renounce your love
for Jallis.

You'll be beheaded!

Aslan...

you'd better listen and
obey the King's order.

These will make your life so rich.

You don't need Jallis.

Not enough?

How about these.

No?

All right.

Take all my treasure
and the crown!

Take'm all!

This is your last chance.

Take my offer.

Jallis, come to me
or you'll be dead.

You traitors!!

Jallis...
I am such an old fool.

I am desperately
in love with you.

How can you not see
this poor man?

I can not.

Why not?

You are the King
no matter what.

Not a man like
everybody else?

Oh well.
This is what a King is.

I want to love and to
be loved like everyone else.

I want to talk with people
just like everybody else.

Buddha is dead!
God is dead!

I came to the end of my luck.

What's all this noise?

I've called them.

I'd like to show you
something really interesting, sir.

People of Baghdad!

Sons of Allah!
I've summoned you forth...

to witness the trial of
the ruler of our city, Sinbad.

Huh?

Bring in the witnesses!

My old nurse maid!

Old woman tell us about
Jallis and Sinbad.

You who witnessed
her entrance into the world.

Who are the real
parents of Jallis?

They are Miriam and Aldin.

What!?

Step forward
old prison guard.

Sire.

Tell us who Aldin and Sinbad are.

Aldin and Sinbad
bear the same birthmark.

Your majesty, if you allow me...

Yes, there is a mark,
it's cross-shaped.

- Cross-shaped?
- It is not a birthmark, sir.

It was from the torture
Aldin was put as my prisoner.

Son of Allah!
Now you know Aldin is Sinbad.

And Jallis is the daughter
of Sinbad!

Silence, please!

I hereby accuse Sinbad...

of committing the most
heinous crime...

received into his bed chamber...

and had intercourse
with his own daughter.

People of Islam...

that imposter...

Sinbad disrespectfully
bears a crown.

Let the people have him!

O' children of Almighty Allah.

One more thing.

Who would you have
as your next and rightful...

Caliph of Baghdad,
the protector of souls?

Badli, of course!

It was an amusing show.

Wasn't it, Aldin.
Leave the throne now.

Very well.

I've been waiting for
this occasion.

Here!

Wait Jallis.

Jallis.

Sinbad is innocent.

You are lying.

No.
Caliph gave me her hand.

I am her husband.

It's all over, Badli.

Your treachery has
caught up with you.

Murderer!
Foul vermin of the earth.

Caliph of Hell
and all the underworld!

She's the evil.
Get her!

Remain still!...

Or I'll kill you.

Aldin, let's go now.

We are not made for
this place.

Madia!

Madia!

See I have told you the truth.

I must leave you, Aldin.

The People's Court has
found Aldin...

alias Sinbad the first,
guilty of atrocities.

Against the kingdom we hereby...

condemn him to death.

Have you anything
to say, Aldin?

Father.

Your father deserves
beheading for his crime.

But that crime...

is not the one for
which I am now beheaded.

When you grow up
and have kids...

you'll know which crime
I am speaking of.

Grow up and find strength
in the story of my life.

Father.

Well...

So long everybody.

I was a king.
It's just a king.

What's next?

I'll have to start
all over again.
