Tut (2015): Season 1, Episode 1 - Part One: Power - full transcript

* *

* *

Paraneffer...

Reveal who paid
for your treachery

Against pharaoh akhenaten.

Refuse, and your soul,

Like your flesh,

Will rot for eternity.

You hold their fate.

The gods of our fathers...

Horus, osiris, and amun-ra...
shine upon us.



I will worship them
to my death!

I will worship them all...
Till your death.

Come closer, my son.

The poison paraneffer gave me
is irreversible.

My last decree is to ensure
the bloodline is preserved.

You will wed your sister
ankhesenamun immediately.

The bloodline
will be pure,

But are you ready
to lead your people?

I am.

Vizier.

All of paraneffer's blood
must be spilt for his treachery.

You will wield the knife
yourself.

Show your father
you're ready.

You are weak.



Do this.
Do it now!

No.

It's all right, my boy.
In time.

I will serve you
as i did your father,

I will protect you,

But you must learn
from this.

This is what it means
to be pharaoh.

This is how it
will always be.

You cover your flank well,
my lord,

Nearly as swift
as myself,

A compliment i don't
render lightly.

We're alone, ka.
Dispense with the formalities.

If i have to remind you again,
i'll have your head.

Vizier ay will
have it himself

If he learns
of these excursions.

He won't have
any say in it.

Doesn't he have a say
in everything?

Ay is a trusted
and loyal advisor,

As he was to my father.

But to what end?

The priests still
take advantage of your people.

The mitanni steal food and crops
from our borderlands.

The people long
for a pharaoh who leads

From outside the shadows.

Ah!

I've yet to see you
do anything.

You've never even been out
amongst your own people.

I'll not have
my grandfather's blood

Chiseled from history
because of my father's mistakes

Or my own.

So do not think
i sit idle.

Oh. Oh.

You still have much to learn
of this world.

* *

Forgive me, pharaoh...

For disrupting your...

Pleasuring.

You are forgiven,
high priest.

Villages
in the eastern lands

Have failed to pay
proper tribute.

With your permission,
i shall see that such payments

Are now obligatory,
as they are in the cities.

Make it so.

High priest...

The east continues to suffer
from a terrible drought.

Even here in the capital,
crops are hardly edible.

Is this not the reason
for their lack of tribute?

Tributes are the one true way
for a man to show

His devotion to the gods.

It is precisely
their failure to pay

That has caused
the drought.

Your request has been granted,
high priest.

Thank you, pharaoh.

General horemheb.

Hmm?

Go.
Go.

I have heard rumors
that the mitanni

Continue to maneuver
near amurru.

What is being done
to stop this threat?

Threat?

I will vanquish the mitanni
from the map

As easily as i vanquish
a trough of beer.

The mitanni play games,

Attempting to draw me out
into battle before i'm ready.

There's no threat
to amurru.

You will be advised,
as always.

Carry on, vizier.

* *

Look.

This is the best
you're going to find.

No.

Thank you.

- Hey!
- Leave her be.

Go.

Go!

You all right?

Hey!

Ah!

What is your business here?

I'm from koptos.
I'm seeking work.

Well, keep in the light
at these hours.

Our patrols are thin.

You seem tired
this morning.

- Do i?
- Yes.

I was up
well into the night.

Where did you get that?

I'll speak to ka.

If he's going to train you,
he needs to be more careful.

The vizier will have his skin
and yours.

I have enough people
watching over me.

What's troubling you?

I'm not just your queen.

I'm your sister.

I know when your mind
is elsewhere.

It's a discussion
we've had before.

Then we'll have it again.

We have no rightful heir.

I'm the last
of the male bloodline.

This gives others reason

To claim their right
to the throne.

I have no doubt they maneuver
even now.

I pray every morning at temple
to taweret for fertility.

I know.

But we must have a child if
you're going to survive, sister.

We've both sacrificed
far too much not to.

the pharaoh is restless.

There's word he even ventures
out alone into thebes.

he's curious, that's expected.

The boy believes the kingdom
is his own.

He is pharaoh.

He is asking the same questions
his father did.

Akhenaten consolidated
too much power,

At great expense to the kingdom
and its people.

Agreed.

The boy has benefitted
from your counsel.

Keep him in your sights...

And in the palace,
where he belongs.

* *

Could you give a hand,
please?

What are these?

Seeds.
What else?

For buying beer?

The proprietor has goods
we can't grow or buy in amurru.

You act as though you've never
made trade before.

I haven't.

Thank you.

You've purchased beer
before?

No.

it's strong?

A bit, yeah.

Thank you...

For the beer.

You're welcome.

Let me go.

I'll take whoever i want.

Choose another.

commander...

General yuya is asking
after you.

Now?

What about my goods?

I suggest you leave with thanks
you're not among his.

Your choice of women
seems to be improving.

Hold it.

A man with no work, but still
manages to purchase beer,

Raises suspicions.

The beer wasn't
purchased by me.

Ah, then she wasn't
a stranger.

Or at least you're hoping
she won't remain one,

By the look of you.

Thank you, for the, uh, help
once again, friend.

I'm not your friend.

There's word of mitanni spies
frequenting beer halls,

Listening and watching.

I'm no mitanni.

No, i don't get
the impression you are,

But we have a report
of a small encampment

Who move towards thebes...
an hour's ride...

And i'm looking
for a volunteer.

Well, best of luck to you.

* *

* *

Leave me.

It's okay, sete.

I can't do this.
You know i can't.

And i cannot
bear it any longer.

Do you think it has
somehow changed now,

When it hasn't
in ten years?

It can if you want it to.

What i want doesn't matter.

I'm the pharaoh's wife.

Our chance of a future ended
the day i married tutankhamun.

He has other women, ankhe.

And you don't?

My heart belongs
to only one.

I too dream of what
might have been.

Those dreams have
no purpose anymore.

He is your best friend.

And he is our king.

- You're mocking him?
- No, but others do.

They wonder whether he
even exists at all.

Then you will assure them
he does.

I will not wait for
the next life to be with you.

Mitanni like to keep one
in the dark.

After sundown, get down there,
draw him out.

Draw him out?

You don't wear the look
of a soldier.

It'll give you time
to approach.

This only works
if he stays alive

Long enough
to give us position.

Good luck, friend.

Hello.

I seem to have lost
my way.

Can you spare some meat?

We don't have enough for us
as it is.

But why?
There's only two of you.

Unless there are more.

That would be the one
in the dark.

Mitanni.

Burn all of it.

Curse the pharaoh.

I should not have spoken
like that to a man i don't know.

I am no stranger now,
am i?

What do you know
of the pharaoh?

The boy king?

Cripple, we're told.

Face so scarred that children
weep in his presence.

Mitanni know this.
They know he's weak.

They take advantage,
as do others.

Others?
What others?

You ask a lot of questions.

I've heard that
within his own palace,

They maneuver against him,
even general horemheb.

There's talk of an illness

Spreading through
the southern regions.

People are sick and dying,
with no cure,

Including some
of my army there.

We need to keep a careful eye
that it does not reach thebes.

If there is anything to be said
in this room, vizier,

I will hear it.

I intend no secret
or offense, my lord.

The burden of governance
is ours,

So you are free of it.

You will address your pharaoh
properly, general horemheb,

And your thousand troops
moving to the village of el hiba

Will not move or engage
without my permission,

Nor the remainder
of your 5,000 men

Who wait outside memphis.

I'm sorry, you've been
misinformed, my king.

Tell me,
who deceived you?

You, general.

It is no secret that you covet
the opportunity

To conquer the mitanni lands
and the lands beyond that.

If it were up to you,
you would seek an endless war

Where the egyptian empire
stretched

From horizon to horizon.

My lord, the general
has yet to finalize

Any plans to deal
with the mitanni.

The general does not have
the authority

To wage war as he pleases.

The vizier and i agree.

Neither does the vizier.

With all due respect,
we are already...

At war.
Yes.

Amurru is not peaceful.

The mitanni
have already encroached.

They pillage our villages
near the borderlands.

They...they rape our women.
They take our children.

And now they send their spies
to the gates of thebes.

This kingdom is on the verge
of being overrun!

Why wasn't this
dealt with sooner?

The mitanni are crafty.

No, general,
they are not.

And so now...

Now we have panic.

The people have been made
fearful and desperate.

They need a savior.

They crave a hero,

And they will worship the man
who can bring them to victory,

A man who would then
have cause

To march to the ends
of the earth.

I serve only the greater good
of egypt.

No, general,
you serve me.

You have positioned
your men well.

The time to attack is now.

But we will expel the mitanni
from our borderlands,

Nothing more.

A protracted war could draw
other nations to their cause.

Continue
with your preparations.

It doesn't matter who strikes
first, but who strikes last.

You're too predictable.
You don't listen.

Man against man is no different
than army against army.

Deception is key.

You're impatient
with me today, ka.

You might as well have accused
general horemheb of treason.

He's the greatest general
egypt has ever known.

Is that how you earn
the army's trust?

No.

I do so on the battlefield
with you by my side.

You steal his glory.

I claim what is
rightfully mine.

Do you claim what is mine
as well?

You're right.
Deception is key.

Free her from your heart,

So the gods will grant me
an heir that lives.

You no longer need
my lessons.

You've been away.

To edfu.

Without telling me.

You mean
without your permission.

You don't control me.
I'm not the pharaoh.

It's only because i worry.

You're still young
to travel alone.

I'm not a child anymore,
father.

Besides, i brought
two guards.

You're sick.

It's just a cough
from the desert.

You're the one
that looks weary.

From many things.

The pharaoh?

Palace is full
of quiet whispers

Saying that he resists
your counsel.

He'll learn.

And one day there will be
a new dynasty,

New blood on the throne.

Except i'm not
your blood.

That doesn't matter.

As i promised your mother

Before she passed
from this world,

A promise i've kept.

Along with other promises
that you haven't.

The gods dictate
these things.

They will speak, and we will
follow their commands.

Until then,
we are loyal servants.

The general is a man
of battle.

He has no tolerance
for politics,

No desire for the throne.

His desire is to conquer
the civilized world.

Putting himself on the throne
ensures him that opportunity.

He cannot
easily be removed.

The army's first allegiance
is to him.

To them, you're just a name,
a cipher.

You need to be prudent,
find ways to earn their trust.

Which i intend to do.

I will not allow it.

The general is indispensable.
I understand that.

But if he's the one
to defeat the mitanni,

He'll be worshipped as a god,

And then...

Then he will make his move.

See, i have no choice.

You're not ready to lead
these men into battle.

A pharaoh who does not lead
his men into battle

Is at the mercy
of his generals.

A pharaoh who risks
his own blood, who...

Who inspires
by his very presence,

Cannot be separated
from his people.

You sent for me.

I couldn't...

I couldn't let you leave...

Without knowing...

My grandfather amenhotep iii
was crowned as a child

Like myself.

His rule was peaceful,
prosperous.

He was not a great warrior,
yet...

Most of these battles
are dedicated to him.

Is that how we measure
greatness...

In the number of dead
left in our wake?

No, my lord.

It is measured by the number

Who are allowed
to live peacefully

And prosper because of it.

Tomorrow.

* *

Return with the victory
you deserve.

* *

Use discretion,
my queen.

He sees
more than you know.

And you, vizier.
He does.

* *

* *

* *

The mitanni are
less than 5,000 strong.

We'll drive into them from here
and overrun them to the flat.

General yuya.

Chariots will mark
the second wave,

From here and here.

Bowmen will set position
in the hills.

Infantry and macemen
at the front.

General.

Thank you, lagus.

My lord, this man
deserves your praise.

He's the one who eliminated
the mitanni assassins

Who nearly breached
the city gates of thebes.

That's high praise.

Thank you...

My lord?

General.

Perhaps a new approach.

Instead of driving them
away from us in open battle,

Incurring
massive casualties,

Let me lead them to us.

To us?

We can use the terrain
to our advantage.

Somewhere...somewhere
they cannot escape.

Here.

The abandoned village here.

Somewhere they can hide
and use to their advantage.

No, general,
somewhere we can hide.

I will consider it,
my lord,

As i will also ask you

To reconsider
our objective here.

This is the opportunity

To eliminate the mitanni
from history.

Let us march
to their palace,

Remove king tushratta
from power,

And achieve lasting peace.

When has there ever been
lasting peace?

General, there is always
a new enemy,

Always more land
to be conquered.

Then let it be conquered!

Empires are measured
on treasures taken

And the number that bow
to their king.

Let us grasp the sand
at their feet

So that the world
may bow at ours!

This war will not end if it
moves within mitanni borders!

It will be the opposite.

They will have drawn us
into their terrain,

Into their advantage.

Our objective, general,

Is to secure this kingdom.

That is all.

I see your mind
won't be changed.

* *

Prepare them to march.

Save that for the mitanni.

Get some rest,
both of you.

Tell me...

Is this a face so hideous

That it would make children weep
from seeing it?

Rise.
A word alone.

You held your tongue.
For that, i'm grateful.

Tomorrow i'll have you
by my side again.

Thank you, my lord.

Remember the girl

Whose aid you came to
in the beer hall?

Vaguely, yes.

She was from here,
in amurru.

Find her and give her
these seeds.

Don't tell her
who they're from.

Consider it done.

* *

General, our position holds,
but offers only a stalemate.

Casualties are mounting.

Instruct the archers
to attack

The southern group
of the mitanni...

So that ka, lagus,
and myself

Can draw them
away from the battle.

There's no time to get
the men into position.

I've already put the men
in position, general.

They are waiting
for my command.

Forgive me, my lord,

But you do not need
to engage in this battle.

The men fight for you.

I will fight
for my people...

With my men
and with you.

Will you ride
with me, lagus?

You need not be in the middle
of this, my lord.

That is exactly where
i need to be.

Go on.

The men are ready.

- Do you have doubts?
- I do.

You said you prefer
i speak my mind.

Maybe not so candidly.

It's time to go.

* *

Now, with me!

Hold your position.

Lagus,
take that way there.

You stay close to ka.

With me.

Hold.

Hold.

Fire!

My lord!

- Thank you.
- Go!

Follow me.

Finish the battle.

Do not waste
this opportunity.

I won't leave him.

This victory
will be yours.

Stay down, my lord.
Do not move.

Curse the gods.

Aah!

* *

The mitanni have reassembled
within their borders.

Their army lies in wait

With more men
than we anticipated.

It was a trap.

If we had proceeded
with the march,

They'd have had
the advantage.

As pharaoh warned.

Mitanni that are broken
and bloodied

With no more taste
for battle.

But our men
are no better off.

Word has spread
of our victory here.

You thirst for celebration.

Then we will return
to thebes,

To your women,
your families,

As heroes!

ride by my side, ka.

When we ride into thebes,
the glory will be yours.

We cannot return
without the pharaoh's body.

A difficult task
when there isn't one.

He is either dragged away
by animals

Or buried with the thousands
who fell in his name.

But if somehow
he survived?

If he survived...

We will find him.

Speak to no one else.
Scour every grave, every rock.

Send word to the villages we are
looking for an egyptian spy.

If osiris has somehow risen
tutankhamun from the dead,

He must be returned
to the afterlife,

Not to thebes.

* *

* *

Vizier, nahkt.

My lady.

Vizier, an urgent message
from general horemheb for you.

What is it?

Clear the room.

The pharaoh is dead.

No.

He cannot be dead, ay.

He's dead.

hey, come on!

Move!

Hey!

The trap was set, father,
but they did not advance.

Rare caution
from general horemheb.

Egypt has many enemies
who are now our willing allies.

The next army to advance
will be ours.

The gods shine on the egyptian
people this day.

People who celebrate while
their pharaoh no longer lives.

They're ignorant of the fact,
my queen,

But they will soon know.

We need to proceed carefully.

the battle is won, vizier.

The mitanni have been driven
back beyond the borderlands.

You speak of victory
when the pharaoh is dead?

It is with regret

That osiris did not grant
divinity to tutankhamun,

But it is the will of the gods
to raise another

Through the open wound
of our fallen king.

It was ka's strategy

That delivered us
from the mitanni filth.

In this time
of great sorrow,

The people should celebrate
their victor.

Where is the pharaoh?

- My queen...
- i take the blame.

When i returned to where he had
fallen, the body was gone.

The slaves and men of lower rank
who bury the dead

Did not know their pharaoh
was among them.

They did not know
what they had done.

Then we must pray

Osiris greets him still.

Were you with him?

No.

Why weren't you by his side,
to protect him?

I was, but battles
are not fought without chaos.

He was...

He wasn't ready!

You're wrong.

The general did not
tell the truth.

It was tutankhamun who helped
lead us to victory.

He is as much the victor
as myself or horemheb.

The general spoke those words
only to gain me favor.

So that we will marry.

So we can marry.
I expected you to be pleased.

Pleased?

Tutankhamun was my friend,
but this is our fate.

It always has been.

He was my brother.

As much as he was mine,

But other forces
will move swiftly.

Tutankhamun
once told me...

Fate is not what you are given,
it's what you take.

I won't let
this fall from us.

I won't lose you
to anyone else.

Come, cousin.

The queen must marry...

To keep her family's
dynasty intact,

And she will fall
openly for ka.

His ear will belong
to the general,

Who shows nothing but contempt
for the priests.

He's a threat to everyone
who now holds power.

He's a threat
to all of egypt.

His military ambitions
are no secret.

Your ambitions are no secret
either, vizier.

Only in circumstance.

I'm a servant of egypt.

As am i,
but to the gods.

They control all things.
They speak through me.

They will give blessing
to your position

If i am to retain mine
without interference.

As agreed.

Then proceed cautiously.

Do not overwhelm her.

Tell me...

How long have you
coveted being pharaoh?

I've never wished it.

I am a loyal servant
to this palace, nothing more.

You're a man
of internal frustration,

Born of common blood,

Who's all but ruled
the kingdom...

Yet forced to remain
in the shadows

While sons are born.

Except now there is no heir.

Instead there's opportunity.

This...

Opportunity...

Would secure your position
as well

Before others take it
from us both.

I wouldn't claim your heart,
my lady.

I know it belongs
to another,

One you've been denied
these many years.

How considerate of you.

I haven't yet buried
my first husband, ay.

Give me time before i decide
on my next.

Please.
Here!

Please.

Please.

This man needs help,
please!

No.

I cannot...
i cannot be found.

He's no longer breathing.

These dead are mitanni.

We're looking
for an egyptian soldier.

I've seen
no egyptians here.

You'll be safe here.

It's you.

Rest.

I can't be
in your village.

They will be looking for me.

We're not in the village.
No one will find you here.

The crops are weeks
from being tilled.

Why do they want you dead?
You're just a soldier.

Thebes.
I must return to thebes.

You will leave
only after you've healed.

I will do as i intend.

You will do as i say.

Why didn't you bring me
these seeds yourself?

Ah.

Well, the war is an
inconvenience for some things.

What is this?

It's to soothe your mind,
help you heal faster.

Thank you.

What is your name?

Suhad.

Suhad...

That's not
an egyptian name.

It's mitanni.

But you're not mitanni.

My grandmother was,

And she was raped
by an egyptian invader.

So, in the eyes
of the pharaoh,

I wouldn't be considered
a true egyptian either.

You are an egyptian as long as
you are loyal to the pharaoh.

My allegiance
is to my family

And to my people here.

Pharaoh, who sits on a throne
far across the desert,

Is of no more consequence to me
than i am to him.

The pharaoh might have
your tongue cut out for that.

From what i've heard
of our pharaoh,

He wouldn't know what to do
with my tongue if he had it.

I'll get you some water.

You've been at prayer
since you and ka returned.

You've never been a devoted man
of the temple, general.

I am pleased.

I'm here to seek clarity.

Clarity?

Or forgiveness?

Being unable to find
your pharaoh's body

Must ravage you
with guilt.

I, too, hoped for clarity

On your return,

But you didn't witness
the man

Whose blade took
pharaoh's breath, did you?

Such a man would be a fool,
high priest.

To use one's own blade
against the pharaoh

Would only bring
the wrath of osiris

And an eternity of darkness
in the afterlife.

Yes.

But even with a clean blade,
such a man might still have

The stain of pharaoh's blood
on his hands.

I know what you want.

And i know where
your heart lies,

But we cannot risk
so much change.

If ka is placed in power,

It is the general
who will rule this country.

When i was
a little girl,

I wanted to believe
that marriage was more

Than just an arrangement
of convenience.

Survival, my queen.

Vizier.

Tell me when you saw
her differently,

The first time you looked on her
in a way you hadn't before.

As long as i can remember.

When did you see her
differently?

When did you see her
as your last opportunity?

Your father was a hero
to akhenaten.

He bled and died for him,

Which is why you were brought
into this palace,

Raised as a brother,
as a son.

Which is why you'll be a loyal
servant when i'm pharaoh.

The general is not
your friend, ka.

- Neither are you.
- No, but i am hers.

She had a brother, vizier.
She had a friend.

Doesn't she deserve
more than that?

what is this?

If they're looking
for an egyptian soldier,

It's better
you don't look like one.

Come on.

Do you need help
with the rest?

Yes, please.

I think you're old enough
to dress yourself.

You've gained great strength
in such a short time.

The gods have imposed
their will.

Was it the gods who dragged you
from the riverbed,

Stopped your bleeding wound,
kept you hidden?

You mock the gods while they're
the proof that i still breathe.

I do not mock the gods,

But i see how they impose
their power over people.

The greatest strength
we have is our own will.

That is how i know you are
an important man.

You would not let
yourself die.

Does your mitanni grandmother
teach you these thoughts?

I'm free to think
for myself.

You're wise to use caution.

Something my father tells me
every day.

This is my village.

My father and mother
both know that you're here.

They can be trusted.

I cannot trust anyone,
suhad.

the offering is not negotiable.

The temple of sobek
protects your land.

His holiness was lenient
on my last visit.

- He will not be again.
- We had a poor yield.

- Father!
- Provide me with what i ask...

Wait.
Suhad, wait.

Or i will take it all.

You have no right
to do this.

Suhad!
Go into the house.

You speak
to the priest of sobek,

The god of water,
with cursed words?

Please, my daughter
doesn't know her place.

Then i will show it
to her.

You dare.

Save your strength, priest.

Take it, please.
Do not set the gods upon us.

Please.

You were once a man
of the palace,

A man of some importance.

Why do you now hide when a new
pharaoh is soon to be crowned?

What new pharaoh?

pharaoh tutankhamun
did not return from battle.

His body was never found.

And now they are looking
for a spy who betrayed them.

Describe these men.

The general's guard.

the palace is purging
its enemies.

He's not the enemy,
mother.

How can this be?

Wait!

Wait.
You're really him?

Yes.
Yes, i am.

Why didn't you tell me?

Because i did not want you
looking at me

The way you do now,

The way i've been looked at
my whole life.

How couldn't i? I'm not even
allowed to touch you.

But you already have.

They'll be waiting for you
in thebes.

I cannot return alone.
I know a man that i can trust.

He saved my life, but he was
captured by the mitanni.

Now, you know these lands.

Can you tell me
how to find him?

The king and his army,
they're only in one place,

So are their prisoners.

I can show you.

No, it is too dangerous
for you.

It would be impossible for you
to get there on your own.

Only the most privileged mitanni
know how to get there.

What, a secret passage
through the high desert?

It's a myth,
and i've heard it before.

It is not a myth.

My grandmother was
one of them.

She showed it to me
when i was a child.

No army can travel it,
nor any man

Unless they know
where to find the water.

No.
I'm going alone.

Fight their entire army yourself
and die if you wish,

Or you can trust me,
and we will walk among them

Without anyone knowing
the difference.

The pyramids have survived
for thousands of years.

Nowhere else
are they equaled.

See, you were wrong
about the gods, suhad.

They do answer.

* *

* *

Leave us, herit.

You believe in your wisdom
that general horemheb

Will be unleashed
if ka is made pharaoh?

There is no doubt.

And if you were pharaoh,
you would restrain him?

As i have managed
since before you were born.

And ka would not.

He's a man who follows,
not leads.

Thank you for your honesty,
vizier,

But i believe that ka will
prove to be a great leader.

I will not tell him
you've said these things

When he is made pharaoh.

You will continue
your duty as vizier.

Make all the arrangements.

Through here.

Keep your head down.

If your friend's alive,
this is where he'll be.

move it!

* *

Lagus!

now! Now!

move!

Move!

Go!

Where are the rest
of your men?

They did not make it,
my lord.

I'm the only one left.

Let's go.

Follow me.

shh, shh.

- he's ali...
- shh.

Thank you, herit.

* *

It's over, then.
Ka will be pharaoh.

We remain servants, and we will
serve our new pharaoh.

we are servants.

You will serve
the rest of your life.

The gods...

The gods?

You let it slip
from your hands, not them!

This was our path.
This was rightfully ours!

Rightfully ours?

What do you see?

What do you see?

Father!

Common blood.

Do not preach to me
of what is deserved.

We are given nothing.
We deserve nothing.

We are owed nothing.

We are exposed to what all men
find for themselves,

What they seek out,
what they desire,

What they anticipate.

Do you know what that
one thing is, son?

Can you guess what it is?

No, because you expect it
to be served to you.

It is not served.
It presents itself.

Opportunity! Opportunity!
Opportunity!

The life blood of history!

We will have
opportunity again...

To make our own history
and defy their history

And claim for ourselves

What others believe to be
rightfully theirs.

out of my way!

* *

- Out of the way!
- Ugh!

* *

Hiya!
