The next morning, Zed and Oh discover that the Sodomites left with the slaves. They head off to save the slaves. They come to a mountain and find Abraham (Hank Azaria) about to kill his son Isaac (Christopher Mintz-Plasse). Zed stops them claiming that the lord sent him to stop Abraham. Abraham takes them to his Hebrew village and tells them about the cities of Sodom and Gomorra. Zed and Oh head off for Sodom after Abraham offers to circumsize them. As they arrive in Sodom, they are captured. Cain saves them from being tortured, calling them “his brothers.” While being given a tour of the city by Cain, Zed and Oh see the princess who is starving herself because she feels guilty that everyone else in the village is starving. That night, at a party, Zed is invited by the princess to talk with her. Inside the palace, Zed sees Maya and Eema serving as slaves. Oh is forced to follow the high priest around the palace. Zed meets the princess and she asks him to go inside the holy of holy temples and tell her what it is like, the princess thinking that Zed is the “Chosen One.” Inside the temple, Zed encounters Oh, who is hiding from the high priest.
