the real Jessie.
I just want to
find the real Jessie.
That's it.
Perhaps that was
the real Jessie,
The one so vividly displayed,
onto a burnished image
From the past?
You're so good at reading
the bumps on my head,
You tell me.
Sadly, I suspect
You would not be able
to accept the truth.
I have no reason
to accept your truth.
If you wish
the discomfort to end,
You will.
You don't have
the slightest clue who I...
Am.
You have a surprising
appetite for abuse.
It would seem you've
come to the right place.
Leave me alone.
If I had to come
back from the dead,
Why not somewhere
hot, man, like Jamaica?
This is not Eyrie.
You may want to
conserve energy.
We've got a long
climb ahead of us.
Look, man, I hate
waiting, man.
I always have.
Not much on sleep,
either, I'd say.
Hey, sleep is for the rich.
I prefer the casino.
Good place to hang out
all night,
And it kinda keeps me out of
the upper tax bracket.
A man after my own heart.
I too enjoy a good wager.
It's another
slaver camp.
Same as every
grailstone
Between here
and the river.
Nine slavers,
a dozen slaves.
What is up with
mankind and slavery?
Each grailband only
works once a day,
So if you want to
eat well...
on the weak.
That is the sad nature
of humanity.
Hey, Sam,
I've been meaning
to ask you,
What was it like
in the civil war?
There is one more thing.
I saw one of our friends
down there...
Hal.
He's being
held captive.
So, if the professor
made it,
What about Matt?
Then it's settled.
We're taking
the stone.
Three to one odds,
The element of surprise
on our side.
Could be worse.
Allons enfants de la patrie...
Le jour de gloire
est arriv?...
You enjoy fighting
far too much.
Yeah, it beats
driving a taxi.
All right,
Mr. Porter.
Here we go.
Coming.
Jessie...
Jessie?
She said to tell you
She was in love
with another man,
And to give you this.
Jessie!
We are not your enemies,
Mr. Ellman.
Our salvationist cause seeks
to free you and your kind
From this eternal
riverworld prison,
But you are too
pathologically stubborn,
And your animosity
for Mr. Burton
Runs too deep
for you to be useful.
Can I...
Can I go back
to being dead now?
Oh, I would have you killed,
But that would only facilitate
your eventual resurrection
By your champions,
Who are deluded enough
to believe
That this farce of an existence
Is a second chance.
They are pathetic dreamers
and will soon be defeated.
Enjoy your stay
with us, Mr. Ellman,
Which will be eternal,
Unless your nemesis,
Mr. Burton,
Can bring this world
to an end.
If I were you,
I would pray for his success.
Tomoe Gozen...
Go and find him.
He needs your help.
Hello?
Is someone there?
Can you hear me?
Yes...
Who are you?
Please answer me.
Jessie?
Jessie, is that
really you?
Oh, God, Mattie!
I can't believe you're here.
Jessie, are you
all right?
How long
have you been here?
I think...
Four years.
Maybe more. I...
I stopped counting.
Four years?
I looked for you.
I hoped you were somewhere
along the river, and...
Shh, shh, shh,
it's all right. I'm...
I'm here, Jessie.
I'm here now.
What have they been
doing to you?
They're messing with me,
playing mind games,
Make me think things
about you.
Me?
What have they
been saying?
That you were with
some guy on the river,
Crap like that
To try and break me,
But it's not working,
So they try to drown me,
But that's
not working either.
So they're
basically screwed.
God, Jessie,
I've missed you.
I just want to
wrap you up
And not let go.
Mattie...
I need to tell you.
There was someone.
Burton?
You know him?
Yeah.
We've met here
on the river.
When I woke up
on the riverworld,
It was insane.
Richard saved me.
Yeah, I saw it.
I saw it all.
He set out to explore
the riverworld,
And I joined him,
But it was hoping
to find you,
Hoping to find out
why we were here.
I'm sorry, mattie.
It's okay, Jess.
I can't imagine
what you've been through.
We're together now.
Thank you.
Right now we've got to
figure out a way
To get out of
this asylum.
Mattie!
Mattie,
they're coming!
- Jessie!
- No, please!
Leave her alone!
Help! No!
No, Jessie!
This is no
pleasure cruise,
Gentlemen!
Nyet...
We're just travelling upriver
to end the world.
Now, get back to work
and find our hidden friends.
We'll need that woman engineer
before we reach the tower.
Get up!
You know,
I hate to give idiots
of that magnitude credit,
But they're going to
find us sooner or later.
I should have
disabled the engines
When I had the chance.
Oni.
You...
Told me to find him
and to help him.
Who?
He will come.
You are prepared to fight.
Good.
Oh, my God!
Oh, thank you.
No problem,
my friend.
Antonio?
Last time I saw Antonio
was on Sam's boat,
But listen,
how'd you get here?
I'm not
really sure.
I-I remember
going underwater.
I woke up on the river
Somewhere not far
from here.
see any of you again.
You're safe...
How do you do it, huh?
Just fht like that
And sit there like
it doesn't even touch you?
We were fighting
the good fight.
There is no institution
in human history
I detest
more than slavery,
But try as I might,
My eyes are
inevitably drawn,
Not to the joyful faces
of the free,
But the still expressions
of the dead.
Insha'Allah.
I tell myself
That what happens
on the battlefield
Is the will of allah,
But the truth is,
They are dead, and I am not,
And I prefer it that way.
Look, you freed
these people.
They're going to
want to thank you,
So why don't you try
and look like
You think you did
the right thing, eh?
Aw, hell.
Why not?
Matt, don't!
It appears you were
correct, Mr. Ellman.
You are hopelessly obstinate
and disruptive.
I've been trying
to explain
To your friend,
Mr. Ellman,
That Mr. Burton
is only doing
What is necessary,
What is right.
It is the others
Who are wrong.
I'm pleased to see that you
at least agree with me.
You're wrong.
I understand why richard wants
to destroy this world,
But I never agreed
with his methods.
He is a man from another era,
One less sentimental
than your own,
But that does not
negate his logic.
It negates everything.
He's a dangerous man
who has to be stopped.
Jessie...
Don't say any more.
I see.
Then as long as your attachment
remains with Mr. Ellman,
You are compromising yourself,
And our efforts.
Unless you convince
me otherwise,
Neither of you will ever see
the light of day again.
No, no!
I'll be waiting,
come find me.
Come find me, Matthew.
Phantom...
More treachery!
Not that you weren't
a gracious host,
But I got to run.
Your grailband,
my dear.
Pardon?
I'm unbound,
and I'm famished.
Destroying the world
as we know it
Can work up
quite an appetite.
What the hell's
in there?
The fusion reactor.
