"Brother Illuminato is the last surviving companion of the man they say was the perfect Christian.." says Bonaventure (Archie Coleman) to Sister Helena (LindaJoy Moore) as Old Brother Illuminato (Mark Moloney) wakes up.

"I'm convinced the Sultan will see us. This is no time to be faint-hearted." says Francesco to Illuminato as they wait in the Sultan's dungeon.

"I am his favorite" says Halima (Karen Klause) the Sultan's and survivor of the Children's Crusade.

"Does pity of neccessity lead to love?" says Francesco as he echos back Illumiato's question to make sense of his feelings for Halima.

"Domine, dona istis idiotibus mortem sanctam martyrorum, et dona eis requiem aeternam." Cardinal Pelegius (Ralph Murphy) 'blesses' Francesco (Brad Slavik) and Illuminato (Steve Karasek) as two guards (Billy Smith and Jonathan Zepp) look on.

"Even in the depths of your dungeon we are free." replys Francesco to Sultan Al-Kamil (Tom Moore) as Illuminato, cheif adviser Al-Farisi (Ralph Murphy), and two guards look on.

Halima begins the seduction of Brother Illuminato.

"We would be happy to oblige. Who knows - maybe the outcome of your immolation will be to prove the greater truth of Islam" chortles Al-Farisi at Illuminatos declaration of throughing himself in the fire instead of allowing Francesco.
