• Hind: Greetings, Basim. It is always a pleasure to see you.
• Basim: Greetings - I have found something that will please you. Distribut this as you see fit.
• Hind: Truly, you are a champion of AlUla.

Valley of Memory (memory)

Basim must look into the past if he is to uncover the fate of Is'haq.

• Dervis: Basim! Finally.
• Basim: Have you missed me that much?
• Dervis: I have something to show you.

[]

• Basim: Where did you find this?
• Dervis: A Bedouin merchant passed through, selling some items. Most stolen, I suspect. But this painting caught my eye. It reminded me of your brooch.
• Basim: Samarra...
• Dervis: Do you think your father painted it?
• Basim: He and I loved this house deeply... Where did the Bedouin find it?
• Dervis: He said he bought the painting in AlUla, from a notorious peddler of stolen goods.
• Basim: AlUla? When I was a boy, my father read me stories of that ancient land and its mysterious monuments... He said we would go there together, when I was old enough to make the journey. I have not seen my father in many years. Not since the day he was exiled by the Khalifa. The day he left me behind.
• Dervis: Sometimes the past chases us.
• Basim: Dervis, what if my father is still alive? I must go to AlUla.
• Dervis: You will likely be crossing a desert to visit a grave... Still, I understand your need to make the journey. I know the place quite well, having previously travelled there on matters of commerce...
• Basim: You will accompany me, then?
• Dervis: Whatever you face, Basim, I will not let you do so alone. Now, are you ready to uncover the truth about your father?
• Basim: I am ready.

[]

• Basim: I am not sure what scares me more, finding my father's resting place or finding nothing at all.
• Dervis: Remember, it is foolish to deny the past, yet also unwise to surrender to it. Better to face it, accept it... and move on.
• Basim: First, we go to the cemetery. If my father's grave truly lies there, I need to see it with my own eyes.
• Dervis: It has been a long journey, Basim. Let us take the time to rest. We can go in the morning.
• Basim: You are right... Tomorrow shall yield its answers, whatever they may be.

Wine of the Bean

[]

• Merchant: This burnt-bean brew offends the tongue!
• Coffee merchant: You know nothing of fine flavor!

[]

• Coffee merchant: Greetings! Would you care to sample the wine of the bean?
• Basim: Wine of the bean? What manner of drink is this?
• Coffee merchant: It is drawn from the roasted seeds of a shrub that grows far to the south.
• Basim: And what virtue does it hold?
• Coffee merchant: It steadies the mind and kindles the body. One draught and weariness is driven off.
• Basim: You speak with great confidence.
• Coffee merchant: Perhaps you will permit a taste?

[]

• Basim: It is sharp upon the tongue.
• Coffee merchant: Its true flavor unfolds with time.
• Basim: Perhaps a touch of milk might temper its edge?
• Coffee merchant: Preposterous! None in their right mind would taint the brew in such a manner.

The Ones Who Remain

???????

[]

• Basim: Truly, AlUla is a land of the rarest beauty.

[]

• Dervis: Basim, over here! I hope you are well-rested...
• Basim: It was a fitful night. Sleep did not come easily.

[]

• Dervis: [sighs]
• Basim: The moment of truth. Is'haq ibn Khalid... Let us look for a grave bearing his name.
• Dervis: If he is here, our quest is done... And if he is not, there is still hope.

[]

• Basim: Jareer ibn Sulaym... this is not my father's final resting place.

[]

• Basim: Do you recall the day my father was exiled?
• Dervis: Your father was a good man, but also a proud one. When he was exiled, the burden of his shame was more than he could bear.
• Basim: So ashamed that he abandoned me?

[]

• Basim: Rashid Al-Asadi... We must keep searching.

[]

• Basim: The day my father left me with you... That moment has stayed with me ever since.
• Dervis: Of all the children who have come under my care... You were silent at first, but the pain in your eyes said enough.
• Basim: You have been a father to so many of us orphans...Yet the horror that befell Jasib and the others...
• Dervis: They are gone from this world, Basim, but not from our hearts.

[]

• Basim: I will examine the graves to the north. You, in the meantime, continue scouring the other burial grounds.

[]

• Basim: Mansoor Al-Kilabi... Not my father. A lifetime of hopes and fears, victories and defeats... reduced to a name etched on crumbling stone. It feels so... insubstantial.
• Dervis: Our bodies are insubstantial. The soul is what matters. You can threaten a man, plunder his goods, torture his flesh, even take his life. But his soul is his own... no one can seize that.
• Basim: There is no sign of him here.

[]

• Hind: [gasp]

[]

• Basim: My apologies, is Enkidu troubling you? This is not the way he usually acts.
• Hind: He startled me, but I see now he means no disrespect to my late husband.
• Basim: I am sorry for your loss. What is your name?
• Hind: I am Hind.
• Basim: And I am Basim... Tell me, Hind, how long have you been here?
• Hind: I... I do not know. Time has no meaning anymore.
• Basim: You must be exhausted. Allow me to escort you to your home.
• Hind: You are very kind.
• Dervis: I shall seek word of your father. If you need me, I'll be back at the tent.

[]

• Basim: Forgive me if I am being too forward, but I assume your husband's passing was recent?
• Hind: He has been gone three days... though he had been ill for a long time. He often suffered chest pains this past year.
• Basim: Do you have children?
• Hind: Two boys, both still young. My husband has left enough wealth to care for us until the boys are old enough to make their own way.
• Basim: Your sons are waiting for you at home?
• Hind: They are staying with relatives... I am not the company they deserve right now.
• Basim: Your grief carries no shame, Hind... I too tasted its bitterness when I was a child and lost the people I cherished most.
• Hind: Your parents?
• Basim: My mother died young, and my father... It is complicated.
• Hind: I am sorry.
• Basim: Still, I was fortunate to find another family... in a manner of speaking.
• Hind: The heavier man at the cemetery?
• Basim: Heavier man? Do not let him hear you say that.
• Hind: My husband grew heavy later in life... You might ask your friend if he suffers from chest pains and heart flutters.
• Basim: I doubt he would appreciate the thought. In his mind, he remains in his prime, though his body says otherwise.
• Hind: Then he is a typical man.

[]

• Hind: We are nearly there. See, that is my home. And beside it, my husband's warehouse...

[]

• Hind: That... that mark. They are here.
• Basim: Who?
• Hind: They... they came for my husband's valuables.
• Basim: Robbers, then?
• Hind: In the warehouse, you will find a small wooden case. It holds my beloved husband's portrait. I beg you, retrieve it for me, but do not endanger your life for anything else.

[]

Soon to Return

To those I love.
The days are long, the sun cruel, but I endure
I carry stone such that my hands no longer feel pain.
Each coin I earn, I hide in the chest.
For medicine and for the day we are together again, not only in dreams.
Wait for me.

[]

To Those Who Find It

Gold will make a fine tribute to our masters. Strike swift, take the wagons unaware, and they will see favor in us.

[]

• Basim: Hind will be relieved when I return this to her.

[23:58-25:07][69] []

• Basim: The symbol on the warehouse - the vulture - what does it mean?
• Hind: The robbers always leave that mark. To cause fear... No one opposes them and lives. Until now... Who are you, Basim?
• Basim: Sometimes I wish I knew.

[25:50-26:30][40] []

• Hind: For what it is worth, Basim, you have reignited my hope. It is time we people of AlUla fought back against the criminals.
• Basim: Yes, but be cautious. I would not have my example cost the lives of the innocent, especially yours.

[27:21-27:43][22] [27:52-28:12][20] []

• Hind: May God protect you.
• Basim: And may God protect you.
• Hind: And if you need me, you will find me here.
