  • NARRATOR: Like a gilded pearl glittering against the cobalt

  • waters of the Western Ocean, a city of aristocracy, of

  • finance, of the rule of law, the justice system.

  • A city where great merchant villas adorning terraces high

  • in the hills looked down over grimy hovels [INAUDIBLE].

  • Crime-infested bazaars, where the abstract corruption of the

  • upper classes translates down to a knife lodged in the ribs

  • of a man dying in a dark alley.

  • Conan the Sumerian does not notice this divide.

  • The barbarian from the North is busy riding for his life.

  • TITO: What the--

  • for the love of Mitra!

  • Heave lads.

  • Get us moving now!

  • Now lads.

  • Get us out of here.

  • CONAN: Wait!

  • Krom!

  • TITO: Who invited you aboard?

  • CONAN: Keep us moving.

  • Head for open water.

  • TITO: Ignore that order.

  • Stop rowing.

  • We're headed for Kush.

  • CONAN: Then so am I. Get moving.

  • TITO: Have you any silver to pay for passage, Barbarian?

  • CONAN: I pay with steel.

  • And I promise you, if you don't put distance between us

  • and those guardsmen on shore, I will drench this ship in

  • your blood, and that of your crew.

  • TITO: Heh.

  • You heard the swordsman, lads.

  • Get us clear of the harbor.

  • CONAN: You have my thanks, master stewardsman, I regret

  • to say, the fresh acquisition of new enemies--

  • the Messantia court guardsmen.

  • TITO: I must choose between your sword in defiance and

  • their crossbows for aiding in your escape.

  • I think instead that I'll simply choose the much

  • friendlier coasts of Kush, Barbarian.

  • CONAN: My name is Conan, and I am Sumerian.

  • TITO: I am Tito, master of the Argos.

  • And licensed trader on the Kush Argos sea road.

  • If I'm to be forced to abandon free access to the ports of

  • Argos, care to tell me just what your business was in

  • Messantia that inflamed the guardsmen so?

  • CONAN: I have nothing to conceal.

  • I came to Argos seeking employment, but with peace

  • currently in abundance, such work is scarce.

  • I admit I'm a man of humble upbringing.

  • So I'm prone to misunderstand the ways of the city dwellers.

  • And perhaps more than a few quarts of ale

  • have passed my lips.

  • You men must surely know the place--

  • The Bone in the Throat--

  • that inn down the old wharf road, with the twin redheads

  • working the ale taps.

  • [MEN CHUCKLING]

  • CONAN: As I said, I am just a man.

  • So my head heavy with ale an my heart yearning for battle,

  • I had the misfortune to witness an officer in the

  • King's guard mistreating a young woman.

  • The sweetheart of a soldier, who had the greater misfortune

  • of being deeply in love with this girl, and who ran the

  • captain through, right in the middle of the tavern.

  • TITO: But Conan, surely you committed no crime in

  • witnessing this.

  • And surely you were not the only one

  • with eyes on the murder.

  • CONAN: No crime, but everyone else fled.

  • And I was the fool for staying to finish my drink.

  • More guardsmen appeared and I, as the sole remaining witness,

  • was hauled off to the clink, [VOMITING]

  • where I spent the night behind bars.

  • Come sunrise, I was furious.

  • Were I not sick as a dog, I would have cut a path out of

  • that hole of a prison.

  • Instead, I live in the hallway to the courts.

  • Apparently--

  • and perhaps this is just how city folk live-- but

  • apparently it's against the law to murder a

  • captain of the garden.

  • Where I come from in the North, you

  • avenge a woman's honor.

  • But I'm straying from the story.

  • They got it into their heads that I was friends with the

  • younger soldier.

  • And their repeated requests for information were starting

  • to edge my nerves.

  • The judge started in with a sermon on my duty to the state

  • and society.

  • I had just arrived in Argos the day before.

  • I was practically drooling at the sight of

  • my confiscated sword.

  • But I chocked my ire back and held my peace.

  • TITO: A stronger man than I.

  • CONAN: Until the judge ordered me sent back to the dungeons

  • for contempt of the court.

  • Clearly I was in a room of lunatics.

  • So I reacquired my sword, and split the judge's skull in two

  • like a melon.

  • [LAUGHTER]

  • CONAN: And that horse, stolen from the Chief Constable.

  • [LAUGHTER]

  • NARRATOR: The Sumerian, young in years though he may be,

  • possesses a rare quality of charisma.

  • And the crew of the Argos, having known him only minutes,

  • loved him like a comrade.

  • As a youth dreamed about Belit this Queen of the Black Coast

  • has gripped Conan's heart.
