What was that?
Nothing
No one comes to these gardens anymore
Calm down Bigthan
It's not every day we kill the king, Teresh
You kill the king!
I stand guard as usual
Why does it have to be me?
Because the lot fell to you
We've been through this before
The poison dagger is behind the bed near the window
Now meet me on the loger when it's done
Let's get this over with!
We have to do it
I can't do it
We've already been paid so get to it
When he goes to bed
Think of what they said
"We're better off if he's dead"
Can't ignore anymore
Win back on what he swore
Lost a war and what for
Now he's married a common girl
(Can this be true?) We can do it
We have to do it
We've already been paid so get to it (What can I do?)
When he goes to bed
Think of what they said
"We're better off if he's dead"
Take the knife
Take his life
And if she's there
Kill his wife
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
Excuse me!
Excuse me!
Do you know what time it is?
I need to see the queen!
I suggest you leave while I give you the chance
I just overheard two men plotting to kill the king and possibly his wife!
Go on
We gotta tell Esther
We can't
But I know someone who can
Now tell me again from the beginning
They have to do it
They're gonna do it
They've already been paid to get to it
When he goes to bed
This is what they said
"We're better off if he's dead"
"Take a knife
Take his life
And if she's there
Kill his wife"
What?
Are you sure?
Yes!
Haggai sent me here immediately
Oh, and Mordecai, is he safe?
The man from the gate?
Yes!
Good
I have to warn my husband
No, no
You can't!
You'll be killed if you go in there unsummoned
He'll be killed if I don't
They're coming!
We're better off if he's dead
If you're right
And they might
We have to move tonight!
We need to get word to someone who can see the king
Lord Haman!
The king has been meeting with him every night
But can we trust him?
Can we afford not to?
Where's the king?
Is it too late?
Hagai, Lord Haman
What are you all doing here?
Your majesty, I'm here on behalf of the queen
The queen?
She sent for me to protect you
Protect me?
She has a message for you
If you will allow her to give it
Esther?
If it pleases the king
This man named Mordecai
The worker from your gate
As he was passing by
He heard them plan your fate
There's a knife they keep
Underneath your bed
While you were asleep they were
If it weren't for Mordecai
You'd be dead
What are their names?
Bigthan and Teresh!
What?
Guards, cease them!
My closest defenders!
Ahh!!!
You dare betray your king
I trusted you
I gave you everything
Scribes!
It fills me with disgust
You shouldn't have to question who to trust
Take this down!
Mordecai told my wife
Write down he saved my life
Haman too
I trust you
I will reward those who are
Faithful
Loyal
Grateful
Take them to the gallows!
It's time for things to change
In Persia!
