Jafar's Return Jamillah and Aladdin

I was delighted when Jamillah was born.

The seventh child is always a lucky child.

Her big brothers adored her, and she adored them.

Her grandfather, Jiddo, told her magical stories,

which is how she learned about me.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, who drew that?

I'm WAY handsomer.

Jamillah grew up to be courageous.

One rainy day, Jiddo sent her up to the attic

to get a box from his trunk.

Boy, was she in for a surprise!

If any genies are listening, could you give me a wish?

Your wish is my command.

Oh!

Ah, listen, don't go dropping the lamp again, OK?

But...greetings, O wondrous one!

Tell me your wish.

I wish for an...

..adventure.

Today, a miracle arrived at the gates of Baghdad.

My long lost older brother, Jafar.

CROWD GASPS

Oh!

-What's going on?

-Jafar. He's back!

He's back!

I am too weary to speak to you just now

but, for 50 long years,

I have wanted nothing more than to return to you, my people.

Yes, well, I'm sure once Jafar has rested, we will hear all about it.

There will be an official celebration this afternoon.

All are invited.

Er, who is Jafar?

Tell us your story.

Yes, I expect you all want to know where I have been

these past 50 years.

As you know, I left Baghdad on a trade mission

to the island of Cyprus,

but at night, a terrible storm arose at sea.

The ship creaked and groaned and then, with a mighty lightning crash,

it sank! I grabbed onto a barrel and was tossed into the sea,

but I was lucky. My barrel was washed onto the shores of an

uncharted isle. For 50 long years,

I walked those shores and begged the gods to rescue me!

At last, a dolphin heard my cry.

I rode on her back to the port of el-Farama, and thus it is

that I have arrived here in the city that I love.

Bravo!

Can you believe it?

50 years alone on an island?

No, I DON'T believe it.

He sounded so fake. And...a dolphin?

Really?

As you know, the Sultancy passes from father to eldest son, and thus

tomorrow, I shall relinquish my crown unto my older brother,

the rightful heir, Jafar.

GASPS, APPLAUSE

Long live Jafar.

What if he turns out to be a bad sultan?

Well, there's not much we can do about it.

DOOR OPENS

Come on.

Whatever it is you think we did, we did not do it.

Hush! I am being watched.

By who?

By that fraud Jafar.

He is as much the sultan's brother as I am.

I knew it! I knew he was a fake!

Ha!

I need you, and you need me.

If Jafar ever rules this city, he will make your life a misery.

I will expose him.

-But I need your help.

-Oh.

I need two children who can go about the city unnoticed.

I must warn you, the work is dangerous.

It is only for the fearless few.

Me! I'm fearless.

-Yeah, totally.

-Excellent.

You can help me comb through the royal vault.

It is rumoured to hold a portrait of the real Jafar.

We must find the portrait to compare the features.

Doesn't the sultan know his own brother?

No. Jafar is much older.

The sultan was in his mother's arms when Jafar went to sea.

Ah.

The second job, your job, is to keep an eye on Jafar.

Follow him wherever he goes.

Listen to whatever he has to say.

-Yes!

-Hey! Hold on a minute, that's way more fun!

-Trade?

-No.

One for all...

On top.

And all for one. The fearless few!

This money will help you forget what you have seen, yes?

I've completely forgotten it, my lady.

There will be more of that if you help me get rid of the Vizier.

I will.

METALLIC CLATTERING

Oops!

SHE GASPS

Somewhere in here, there's a portrait of the real Jafar.

We'll never find it here. There's junk everywhere.

Keep looking.

Yeah, I'm just saying,

but I think we would have a better chance of finding it

if we ask Jamillah to look for it and I follow Jafar.

Now, I'm terrible at finding stuff.

I'm much better at spying on people, where the...

That's him!

The real Jafar.

We must take the girl to the desert and dump her in the caves.

Mm-hm.

Just give me a second, yeah?

Uh-huh.

There we go.

-Right, come on, then.

-Mm-hm.

We haven't got all night.

Genie. Genie, can you hear me?

-Yes, fearless mistress.

-Shh!

What are you doing out here?

It's a long story.

Jafar is definitely a fraud.

I think I know who he really is.

Can you do a spell to prove it?

I'm all ears.

INAUDIBLE

Let's hope we get there in time!

Ahem!

Citizens of Baghdad,

today marks the end of the sultan's reign

and the beginning of the reign of Jafar.

Er, I wonder, could you describe our mother?

Well, she was beautiful,

she was kind and....

Do you remember the name of her cat?

One final question.

Why do you look nothing like your younger self?

I see no scar on your face!

GASPS

Why are you asking me these questions?

Do you doubt me?!

I shall remember this...

GENIE SPEAKS A SPELL

..when I'm sultan of Baghdad!

Shape-shifter!

I'll get you!

Guards, get her! Get her!

Find her, you fools!

Yes!

Well, that was exciting!

I wonder if they'll actually find the shape-shifter.

Well, at least we stopped her from becoming Sultan

and taking over Baghdad.

Lock the gates!

I want every house, stall, cupboard and attic searched, top to bottom.

Go!

Congratulations, Vizier.

-We did it!

-Quiet!

I have no time for chitchat.

Yes!

He's not SO terrible.

Just a little terrible.

Yeah. A little smidge.

With an enemy unmasked and a possible new friend,

it was time for Jamillah to go.

It was nice to get home and see her family,

but Jamillah couldn't wait for her next adventure with Aladdin,

and me, her brilliant genie.
