Speaker A
[music] We must dash on. Captain, look at this. Please. What are we looking for?
00:34
Speaker A
A lamp. One specific lamp. [music] Search every house, every room. Keep everything else. Just find me that lamp.
00:45
Speaker A
[music] [music] Easy now, Sable. Just a few more loads, then we'll finally head home.
01:14
Speaker A
Maybe tonight my brother remembers he still has family. Or maybe not. Easy, Sable. Quiet.
01:51
Speaker A
Open, Chichaba. Stay here. No noise. I'll be back. Be smart. Close. Chichaba. [panting] [music] [music] [music] Close, Chichaba.
03:41
Speaker A
Open, Chichaba. [music] [music] [music] [music] How many men died for all of this? [music] Enough.
04:47
Speaker A
Just enough. Close, Cheetah! [music] [music] Sable, get up! [music] Oh. Sorry, Sable. This is the last time you're going to live like a donkey. From here on, you're going to live like a horse.
05:28
Speaker A
[music] Qasim, what I'm about to tell you, you have to swear to me. Where did you get these?
05:43
Speaker A
Where did you get them? I followed some horsemen into the mountains. They stopped before a cliff.
05:50
Speaker A
Their leader spoke strange words, and the mountain opened, a hidden cave filled with more gold than any man could spend in a lifetime.
05:57
Speaker A
Tell me the words. Brother, listen to me. These men are— I didn't ask for your advice, Ali Baba.
06:05
Speaker A
I never have. Chichaba are the words. Qasim did not sleep that night. How could he?
06:34
Speaker A
His mind was already inside the cave. Open, Chichaba. Take only what you need. All of it.
07:26
Speaker A
All of it? I need more bags. Open chi. Chi cha. Chi. Ba. Chi. Cha. No.
07:56
Speaker A
What was it? Captain. The horse. Take three men. That's a rich man's horse. [music] Take it. Search the valley.
08:08
Speaker A
Captain. Take it. Tracks. Camps. Anything. With me. [music] We search behind the pillars. [music] Check every corner.
08:44
Speaker A
Find him. No one can see you, master. What? What is this? [music] What is your wish?
08:57
Speaker A
I don't understand. What is your wish? I want to go home. As you wish.
09:04
Speaker A
[music] I swear the noise came from here. Someone is in the cave. I can smell it.
09:22
Speaker A
Take the horse. It will lead us to its owner. To the town. [music] Captain.
10:17
Speaker A
Bring me the horse. Let it loose. [music] [music] [music] My horse. Someone took my horse. I have been looking everywhere.
11:17
Speaker A
You found him. Thank you. That Alibaba always borrows him and leaves him somewhere. Alibaba?
11:23
Speaker A
Yes, my reckless brother. Where is he? What about the cave? What cave? Let's find this Alibaba.
11:33
Speaker A
Where does he live? [music] On the other side of the town. He's probably in the mountains now collecting wood. He's a very poor man.
12:03
Speaker A
I trusted you. I shared a secret with you. And still, you gave them my name. I did it to protect us.
12:17
Speaker A
They believed me. Listen to me. There's something [music] in that cave more important than the gold. I just need to get back inside.
12:26
Speaker A
Give me the words again. And I'll fix all of this. Chichaba, do as you wish.
13:00
Speaker A
Marjana, we have to leave now. What's going on? [music] I found a cave full of gold. I took some.
13:07
Speaker A
It belongs to 40 thieves. And they are coming here. Where is the house of Ali Baba?
13:23
Speaker A
Then give it back. You don't understand. The cave only opens with a secret word, and now they know I know it.
13:30
Speaker A
It won't matter if I return every coin. They'll kill me anyway. Show me Ali Baba's house.
13:41
Speaker A
House on the left. [music] Ali Baba, I know you're inside. Bring me what you took.
14:04
Speaker A
All of it. There is your gold. I said everything. That includes Ali Baba. You are not touching my father.
14:37
Speaker A
[music] [music] I told you I'd fix it all. How is that possible? The lamp.
14:56
Speaker A
Marjana, I told you there was something [music] in here more important than gold. They were about to capture us, uncle.
15:00
Speaker A
I know. [laughter] So, what do we do now? All of this is ours. And I know how to solve the rest.
15:14
Speaker A
What is your wish, master? The captain and his 40 [music] thieves, I want them turned into lizards in the desert.
15:37
Speaker A
It is done, master. Take us home. What do we do with all of it?
16:00
Speaker A
All that gold. We should give some of it away. No family in this town should ever be hungry again.
16:10
Speaker A
We can do more than that. Build wells, repair homes, create work for everyone, help people build better lives.
16:21
Speaker A
And make everyone rich? No. If everyone is rich, who will build our homes? Who will serve us?
16:51
Speaker A
[groaning] [music] I am your god. [music] God, that's the great of all times. [music] [music and singing] It has been a few hours now.
17:51
Speaker A
We should check on him. I am your god, the great of all times. I am your god.
18:22
Speaker A
God, that's the great of all times. Kassim. Kassim. Kassim, wake up. I was a pharaoh.
18:58
Speaker A
O fun chichaba. [music] What? Did you wake me up? Marjana and I were thinking, we use the lamp tonight.
19:20
Speaker A
Feed the villages, throw a gathering, a gesture of gratitude. Most of them are hungry, Kassim.
19:25
Speaker A
Listen to me. There is no lamp. There was never a lamp. And you will not give those people one coin from that cave. Not one.
19:35
Speaker A
Kassim. And you are not poor anymore. Get better clothes. [music] [music] [groaning] [music] [music] All these years of searching, and it was here the whole time.
21:16
Speaker A
Those two must [music] have it. Hold still, [music] please. How much longer? Finished, sir.
21:39
Speaker A
Sir, this is too much. Keep it. [music] [music] The gateway [music] is open, and the ancient ones have returned. Can you not see? The world is changing.
22:22
Speaker A
Every kingdom, every city, every road from here to the sea, all of it. That is what I want. Power, not just wealth.
22:30
Speaker A
Real power. The kind that does not ask permission. Before you speak your wish, you should know what this lamp does to hearts whose those are not pure.
22:42
Speaker A
I know what it does. You do not. It feeds on what is inside you.
22:46
Speaker A
Every wish pulls more of it to the surface. What is already in your heart, it will make visible.
22:55
Speaker A
Then I have nothing to worry about. As you wish. Ali Baba gave us gold just like that.
23:16
Speaker A
God bless him. Marjana. Father. You look [music] handsome. I gave gold to everyone this morning.
23:31
Speaker A
We need to go back to the cave, [music] get more for the people. Yes, that is exactly what we should do.
23:40
Speaker A
What have you done? [music] You know I can have you both disappear right now.
23:52
Speaker A
But I know what to do. What is your wish, master? Take the mountain. [music] The cave.
24:19
Speaker A
All of it. Every coin. Every chest. Move it to the moon. Where no one can [music] ever reach it.
24:27
Speaker A
No one but me. As you wish. [music] We need to get that lamp from him.
24:54
Speaker A
The lamp is [music] changing him. I know. [music] [music] [music] No. [music] She tried to get us out of here. Now.
28:57
Speaker A
[music] Go. Now. [panting] [music] [music] Something is wrong with him. It's that lamp. It never leaves his hand.
30:42
Speaker A
I'll go at night, take it while he sleeps. No. We need a better plan than that.
30:55
Speaker A
Calm down. Please, calm down. Where is our gold? You gave it only to the people you like. What about us?
31:05
Speaker A
I'm sorry. It was random. I was only trying to help. You're hiding it inside.
31:15
Speaker A
Try and wrench. [screaming] Is this how you repay a man who tried to help you?
31:36
Speaker A
You all know Ali Baba. We are just like you. The day he found, he shared [music] it.
31:41
Speaker A
He could have kept it all. I am truly disappointed in my people. You deserve that for not listening.
32:19
Speaker A
That's it. I'm going tonight. I'll take the lamp from his house. It's a full moon. It's bright out there.
32:25
Speaker A
They'll see you. I don't care. [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] [groaning] This is the captain.
34:39
Speaker A
I am alive. You have been silent for thousands of years. We buried you. I was stranded.
34:54
Speaker A
They took Chichaba from me. I built the beacons. I never activated them. I left for the stones they needed.
35:05
Speaker A
When I returned, I found a second site to the east. While I scouted it, humans ambushed me. Skilled ones.
35:11
Speaker A
They took the lamp and left me here. I have been looking for it ever since.
35:18
Speaker A
It cannot remain with another's race. Least of all humans. Retrieve it. I need time to heal.
35:31
Speaker A
I know who has it. [music] [sighs] [screaming] Brother, look at your hands. Look at your skin.
38:05
Speaker A
You come into my house to steal from me? It's not making you rich. It's making you into something else. Put it down.
38:16
Speaker A
[groaning] [screaming] [screaming] [music] [panting] [groaning] That lamp, it has a mind. I swear it. It woke him on its own.
40:10
Speaker A
It's not him holding it. It
40:24
Speaker A
And he's strong. He lifted me off the floor like I was nothing. Tomorrow, I'll handle it my way.
40:44
Speaker A
No. No. We stay away from him, from all of it. Something evil is in that lamp.
41:17
Speaker A
This is how you [music] left them. Three beacons, three crowns of gold. Erosion took the [music] surface.
41:24
Speaker A
Thieves took the crowns. They have been dark for thousands of years. [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] Woo!
