In the beginning...
Man was given the gift of Dust.
It ignited his mind and freed his will.
But that free will has corrupted mankind.
Dust shall be drawn into eternal darkness once more.
That which was given...
shall be taken away.
Mrs. Coulter? What happened? I...
Tell me if my daughter survived.
Now.
She's...
in darkness.
What does it say?
Lyra?
Lyra!
HIS DARK MATERIALS
Dust readings are fluctuating.
No. No, no, no.
Stelmaria, this is it.
Alarbus has delivered our message.
It's her.
You're back. That's good.
Come and have a look at this.
You recall the intercision field chamber...
and the effect that it had on our friend, the incarcerated angel, yes?
Its ability to draw...
and trap Dust forever.
This abyss is much the same, only...
on a magnitude I never thought possible.
We are going to be able to use that.
She's dead, Asriel.
Lyra...
is dead.
Would you like me to tell you how your daughter died, or...
would you prefer to keep tinkering with your toys?
If what you're saying is true, I am very sorry.
But what I'm doing here...
is of the utmost importance.
It is going to change everything.
How, Asriel? How? How will this change anything?
- Can't hear it. Not now. - You will hear this.
The Magisterium created a bomb to target our child using her DNA.
Last night, we attempted to disable it.
Lord Roke died trying.
You mustn't blame yourself. You clearly...
Oh, believe me, I'm not blaming myself.
I know that technology.
I designed it.
I stopped it from detonating.
But a bolt of light...
struck the intercision chamber and triggered the release.
Sending the bomb straight to Lyra.
Angelic light.
Metatron's answer...
to your war cry.
If you hadn't baited him...
Lyra would still be alive.
Do you understand?
You've taken my daughter from me.
And I will never forgive you.
Lyra?
Wake up.
Wake up!
Please, wake up.
You okay?
I think so.
What was that?
You shouldn't go down there.
There's nothing to worry about.
Asriel, this is reckless.
Asriel!
Dust.
We have to find a way to stop this.
To draw the Sraf back.
Before the flow was steady and slow...
and now it's like a flood.
Pouring out of this world...
into some kind of...
emptiness.
It was like the trees were straining against us.
Like they were trying to hold the tide back.
Without Sraf, none of us will survive.
I don't know how to help.
We need more time.
Any news from Sergi?
He's scouting the area. I've called for Serafina.
Okay. We're stabilising the area now.
- Ruta. - It's Sergi. He's in pain.
He can't hear me. I...
Okay, stay with him.
I can't stop him.
The darkness is drawing him in.
Oh, no.
You can fight this.
I can't.
Yambe-Akka.
No.
Ruta.
- Lee? - Lyra!
You okay? That was a heck of a blast.
Do you think it's those creatures that did it?
No, this was way more powerful.
Like nothing I've ever seen.
Is it because we're here?
Do you think it was our fault?
We can't stay here. We need to keep moving.
We've got to get these people out of here.
This way!
Lyra! It goes up.
Onwards and upwards, people!
- You okay? - Yeah, you?
Yeah.
That blast tore this place apart.
Lyra. Hey, Lyra.
It's not that far. We can jump it.
- Do you think they can make it? - They can if they have to.
What do you think would happen if we fell?
No. Stop.
All these people are following us 'cause they think we know where we're going.
They think I can get us out of here. But what if I can't?
What if we're trapped here because I can't use the knife.
Look at me. Look at me. Look a me.
Hey, hey.
It's fine. We're gonna get out of here.
It's just this chasm.
I can feel it too. Look at me.
Watch.
- I'll go next. - No, I'll go.
- I can do it. - So can I.
Are you coming?
Will?
Asriel!
Ogunwe, this is it.
This abyss, it is an act of war.
Ruta's daemon Sergi was pulled into this thing because he was made of Dust.
- Well, so are angels. - Listen.
You have asked us to have blind faith in you,
while rejecting all our beliefs.
And now, Queen Ruta is dead as a result.
I can see past the loss. Open your eyes.
This is not a setback, it is a bloody gift.
Halt! Stay back! Stay back!
Get back!
Who are you?
I am Serafina Pekkala, Queen of the Lake Enara Clan
and I demand to know what happened to my sister.
Hold fire.
Queen Serafina Pekkala, welcome to the Republic.
Please let it be known that Ruta Skadi was an ally
and a valuable asset in our Rebellion.
I heard her call for her death.
She felt a presence of a great darkness.
And then, she was gone. I'm sorry.
But I sense her here still.
It pains me to tell you both that what happened to Ruta was not death,
but worse again.
That abyss out there is a rupture in the multiverse,
sucking all Dust deep down inside the void between the worlds.
I bore witness to her daemon Sergi falling inside.
And it is my belief that no being, flesh or Dust,
will ever emerge from its darkness.
So, there will be no peace for her?
Part of her soul, forever falling.
Forever in limbo.
I saw the chasm as I was flying over here.
It tore through every world I crossed.
- You did this. - No.
Your arrogance playing with forces you have no concept of.
Weapons down.
I am at your mercy, do with me as you will.
But let it be known...
that the loss of Queen Ruta Skadi is as keenly felt by myself as it is by you.
We believe it's Metatron's doing.
His answer to our provocation.
We have its attention now. He will be coming for me.
If revenge is what you truly want for your sister, Queen,
then by my side is the only place you'll find it.
- Mangy vermin. - We've seen worse.
Do you remember when we freed the kids from Bolvangar?
And then the three of us and lorek squashed into Lee's balloon
and just flew away.
- Lorek's this armoured bear. - I know who he is. I've met him.
- Can't imagine him in a balloon though. - It wasn't just any balloon.
It was a real beauty.
She was.
Roger, you were permanently terrified of flying.
I was not.
Only when those cliff-ghasts attacked.
It was the middle of the night. Roger and I were fast asleep.
I was keeping watch, actually.
And then, suddenly, out of nowhere, these creatures were just all over us.
Lee's shooting them, lorek's roaring...
And then you fell out.
Did I ever tell you about the crazy Shaman who made me a bacon sandwich?
Commander Ogunwe, where is the...
Intention Craft?
I'm ready to leave.
I'm afraid, I can't let you leave again without Council approval.
Oh, come on. Let's not pretend.
The only vote that counts around here is Asriel's
and he acts purely in his own interests. You should do the same.
Well, I'm not like the two of you.
I'm here for something other than my own interest.
What's happened?
Lyra's dead.
I'm so sorry.
Asriel didn't tell me.
So, are you going to give me that vehicle or not?
Asriel took it and flew North.
I'm sorry.
Come.
Come!
Where are you...
You're looking for your father.
What chance do we have?
We found them.
And we thought it was impossible.
I just want to be sure he'll find his way out
before we go to Asriel.
We can send a message back, maybe? Spread the word.
- What's his name? - John Parry.
John Parry?
John Parry.
Jopari.
A man of many names. He told me about you.
You're the Shaman's son.
- You know him? - Yeah, I know him.
He's a hard man to find. I got leeches on my ass trying,
but it was worth it though.
Lucky for you, we might have a way to summon him.
No promises, but it's worth a try.
You go ahead. I'll catch up.
Are you sure about this?
He'll listen to reason.
King lorek...
I am unarmed.
Killing me will provide poor sport.
I'm greatly saddened to see the damage my work has done to your lands.
My bears starve because you blew a hole in the sky!
King lorek, there is worse to come if my war is not won.
Give me one reason why I shouldn't kill you!
Lyra Silvertongue!
Why do you speak to me of her?
You renamed her.
You loved her.
Tell me of her.
She is everything you are not.
Perhaps I should've known her better.
But she is gone.
And if you kill me now, she will never be avenged.
You do not understand.
Lyra went to the Land of the Dead.
- The Land of the... - Yes.
But she walked in alive.
How did she enter that place?
The knife.
- The knife was broken. - I fixed it.
She went after her friend, Roger.
The kitchen boy.
Another reason why I should kill you!
Wait, wait, wait!
If when we die we are judged by the Authority
and sent to either the Heaven or Hell, then in which is Lyra?
Neither.
It is a soulless place
where the Dead go but can never escape.
Everlasting prison?
Why, then...
my daughter is staging a prison break.
Lyra.
Lyra!
Ogunwe told me about Lyra.
I'm so sorry.
I tortured one of your witches once.
I know who you are.
I mutilated her.
Pulled out her cloud pine.
You know, she suffered terribly.
She screamed out.
She begged for her death.
I see what you're trying to make me do.
Come on.
Do it.
You know you want to.
Do it for her. Do it for your sister.
Do not speak of my sister.
What's wrong?
What are you scared of?
The other witch would have done it. She wouldn't have hesitated.
I am not Ruta.
And I will not do this.
But if you won't do it out of anger...
then please just do it out of mercy.
My heart is heavy, too.
I don't understand it.
It makes no sense.
Love makes us fragile in ways we cannot fathom.
I didn't love Lyra.
I wasn't able to.
Incapable of it. You know, too warped.
Even my own daemon rejects me.
The way you feel right now is proof you did love her.
I understand more than you know.
I lost my boy...
a long time ago.
Lyra gave me hope again.
She would change the world...
defeat Death... become Eve.
And now it won't happen.
You know, when I first heard that prophecy it terrified me.
Why?
Because I was always taught to believe that Eve
was guilty of something shameful.
The Magisterium teach the Fall is the birth of sin
because they fear the unknown.
All Eve did was dare to experience.
It's an act of bravery...
of great beauty.
You were a monster.
But look what experience did to you.
What love did.
It changed you.
- Are you okay? - Yeah.
I thought you were gone.
Me too.
It saved you.
Excuse me.
I'd like to give you something to thank you.
What?
A name.
Names can't just be given.
Mine was.
By a friend.
Gracious Wings.
If you like it.
You can't take it back now.
Could you tell us, please...
Gracious Wings...
are we going the right way?
We need to reach the highest point.
That way.
Thank you.
You cannot tell the story of my name
if you do not get out.
You like stories, don't you?
True ones...
True stories are nourishing.
They feed us.
We had no idea there was anything but lies and wickedness.
If those who follow behind
tell you everything they saw in the world everything true,
could you guide them here, so they could be set free?
Do not lie to me.
I won't.
Do we have a deal?
For prisoners' safe passage in exchange for their stories?
Liars cannot pass.
It's all right, they're going to help us.
Just tell them your stories.
Stories from your lives.
And they'll guide you up.
Tell them stories.
Tell them stories. Tell them stories.
- This way. - Tell them stories.
That was genius.
Marisa?
Lyra's alive.
She entered the Land of the Dead of her own free will,
to rescue the kitchen boy.
Don't do this.
This is your guilt talking.
It's some kind of prison purgatory.
They cut their way in using the knife.
But I saw the knife break.
It was mended by lorek Byrnison.
He told me so himself.
It makes sense.
The Authority cowers us with the threat of Heaven or Hell
but even that was a lie. It's all Purgatory.
I'm not interested in your theories.
What proof do you have?
You know as well as I do that the Panserbjørn cannot lie.
Marisa... she's alive.
Don't lie to me.
- Don't. - She's alive.
And she's coming here once she frees her friend, Roger.
Please...
my heart won't take it.
You said yourself, she's extraordinary.
To free a soul...
from the Land of the Dead.
The witches' prophecy.
They believe two things about Lyra. That she is Eve...
and that she will defeat Death.
That's what she is doing.
The prophecy is right.
We must help her, Asriel.
William...
we've been waiting for you.
Someone who wants to see you.
You're here.
I haven't done what you said.
I haven't taken the knife to Asriel.
You know, you said I was a warrior.
That I can't fight my nature.
I think you were wrong.
I hate fighting.
I'm not who you want me to be.
No.
No, you're so much more.
He'll be okay.
He's lucky to have you worrying about him.
I don't know about that.
Look at how you tamed that thing back there.
You've always been so...
brave.
Reckless, more like.
It was the stories that tamed her.
Our stories.
We have a lot of memories.
We do.
All this time...
I thought that...
when we eventually found each other...
we could go back to Oxford together.
I did, too.
What do you think's gonna happen if we make it out?
I don't know.
But we get out of this awful place.
We won't be going the same way.
I always thought you were brave.
Much braver than me.
Do you have any idea what a remarkable thing you did coming here?
It wasn't just me.
It was Lyra's idea.
Yes, the girl...
Eve.
I know about her.
The two of you will set us free.
I don't even know if I can do anything.
You know, I'm so tired, and my chest is aching...
Because you're away from your daemon.
Separation across worlds weakens your bond, Will.
She's pining for you.
- How do you know? - I guided her to Asriel's Republic.
As soon as you release these ghosts,
you must cut through and find her, Will. She's vulnerable.
- Promise me. - I will. I will, I swear.
Good.
Will, I want you to listen to me.
Don't try to live in a world that's not your own.
No matter how tempting it may seem.
You and your daemon... you won survive it.
But you did.
No, I felt it. Like an ache, every day.
Don't make the same mistake that I did.
You deserve a full life...
with your mother.
What'll happen to you?
The same as will happen to every soul trapped down here.
I'll be free.
I'll be connected again to every living thing.
Thanks to you.
I can't say goodbye to you again.
Well, then don't say goodbye.
I'm so proud of you, Wiliam.
Go.
You all right?
Yeah. I'm okay.
We need to keep going.
No daemon can enter the Land of the Dead.
If Lyra is there, then Pantalaimon will be in the upper worlds.
Lyra and Pan are separated?
Well, that means they're vulnerable, they must be reunited.
I'll send a regiment to look for them right away.
No. It'll draw too much attention. Let me send Kaisa.
Will you tell me the moment you have news?
If it is true... then Lyra is going to free the Dead.
She and WII would've achieved something remarkable.
Far beyond your Rebellion.
Lyra is your focus now. Do not fail her.
We can't go any further.
This is it.
Come on.
Well, I'll be damned.
It's paradise.
What's gonna happen if we step through there?
My dad said you'll be free.
You'll drift apart, but you'll be out in the open,
connected with everything that's alive.
I'll go first.
I'm gonna miss you so much.
You'll be okay.
I know you will.
You've saved your best friend.
When you go back to Jordan...
go to the roof for me.
- Yeah. - Yeah.
I'm ready.
Every part of me is aching to be part of the universe again.
Hey, no need for that.
It's okay.
Thank you.
Sir.
You two take good care of each other.
I'm going to be with my Hester.
Tell them stories.
Tell them stories. Tell them stories.
Tell them stories.
Tell them stories. Tell them stories.
If you tell them stories...
You have nothing to fear.
If you tell them stories...
Lyra's alive.
May I sit?
It hurts when we're apart.
I pretend that it doesn't.
That first time I sent you away...
it was awful.
I don't know why I do it.
At first, I think it was curiosity...
but now it's become something else.
A way to not feel what I can't bear.
I used to think that I was the strong one.
But I was wrong.
It was you, all along.
I am so very sorry.
Please, come back to me.
It is time.
The first prophecy has been fulfilled.
The girl and the boy have succeeded in their quest.
Asriel, do you hear that?
It's Xaphania.
WII and Lyra have released the Dead from their prison.
All of them?
Metatron's Purgatory is broken.
His control is weakened.
So, he will come at you with everything he has.
The final Rebellion has begun.
