1
00:00:31,899 --> 00:00:33,401
To the side, young lady.
2
00:00:33,468 --> 00:00:34,969
Not 'till I get my coin.
3
00:00:35,034 --> 00:00:37,572
- I already paid you.
- You paid me half penny
4
00:00:37,638 --> 00:00:38,639
to watch the boxes.
5
00:00:38,706 --> 00:00:40,040
I charge whole.
6
00:00:42,244 --> 00:00:43,345
Very well.
7
00:00:51,553 --> 00:00:55,624
What you got in here anyway?
They come from far away.
8
00:00:59,960 --> 00:01:02,763
Farther than you can possibly imagine.
9
00:01:14,509 --> 00:01:16,344
What is that?
10
00:01:16,411 --> 00:01:17,444
It's the future.
11
00:01:18,913 --> 00:01:20,681
And it's coming for us all.
12
00:01:28,688 --> 00:01:29,924
Goodness.
13
00:01:53,348 --> 00:01:55,617
Lady Anya, what is it?
14
00:01:55,684 --> 00:01:57,552
I'm not sure, Mary.
15
00:01:57,619 --> 00:01:59,753
But I think it might be magic.
16
00:02:10,831 --> 00:02:12,701
[Charlie Cornwall]
Vikram, where are you?
17
00:02:12,766 --> 00:02:14,901
CONNOR
Yo, Vik, where you at?
18
00:02:14,969 --> 00:02:16,204
Yes, yes, I know.
19
00:02:16,270 --> 00:02:18,206
I am preparing for the meandering,
20
00:02:18,273 --> 00:02:22,110
brain-atrophying busy work
known as Inventory Day!
21
00:02:22,177 --> 00:02:26,348
Now, I have hardened myself
for the ensuing boredom.
22
00:02:26,413 --> 00:02:29,817
Uh-hmm.
But take some comfort
23
00:02:29,883 --> 00:02:33,488
in the fact that we are
laboring over minutia,
24
00:02:33,555 --> 00:02:37,758
and it shall benefit us all in the end.
25
00:02:37,825 --> 00:02:39,627
Aha.
26
00:02:39,694 --> 00:02:43,565
You do not seem to be girding
yourself for Inventory Day.
27
00:02:43,632 --> 00:02:46,568
Oh. We moved it to tomorrow.
28
00:02:46,635 --> 00:02:48,403
You didn't get the notification?
29
00:02:48,470 --> 00:02:49,770
The what?
30
00:02:49,837 --> 00:02:51,106
It should have pinged your phone.
31
00:02:51,172 --> 00:02:53,341
Ugh, that infernal device.
32
00:02:53,407 --> 00:02:54,542
It pings constantly.
33
00:02:54,609 --> 00:02:56,877
As if its sole purpose
is to distract people
34
00:02:56,944 --> 00:02:58,012
from doing actual pursuits.
35
00:02:58,078 --> 00:03:00,649
Oh, look,
36
00:03:00,715 --> 00:03:02,217
Lysa sent me a video of a cat.
37
00:03:02,284 --> 00:03:03,851
Where is Lysa?
38
00:03:03,917 --> 00:03:06,121
That's why we moved
Inventory Day.
39
00:03:07,955 --> 00:03:09,257
A tech friend of hers is in town,
40
00:03:09,324 --> 00:03:10,924
specializes in satellite tracking.
41
00:03:10,991 --> 00:03:12,694
She and Mrs. Astolat are
meeting them to see
42
00:03:12,761 --> 00:03:16,131
if they can calibrate our
tech to help find Merlin.
43
00:03:16,197 --> 00:03:19,367
So, I'm going to the
movies with some friends.
44
00:03:19,434 --> 00:03:23,238
And I'm going for coffee with one
of my krav maga classmates.
45
00:03:23,305 --> 00:03:26,574
Ooh, is this coffee or coffee?
46
00:03:26,641 --> 00:03:28,276
- It's coffee, but--
- Uh-hmm.
47
00:03:28,343 --> 00:03:30,044
I'm pretty sure he thinks it's coffee.
48
00:03:30,111 --> 00:03:31,513
Am I to understand
49
00:03:31,579 --> 00:03:34,382
that the both of you are
socializing with civilians?
50
00:03:34,449 --> 00:03:37,084
Vik, we're allowed to have
lives, and so are you.
51
00:03:37,152 --> 00:03:40,155
You know, I can set you up
in the apps, if you like.
52
00:03:40,221 --> 00:03:41,822
Really?
53
00:03:41,889 --> 00:03:43,758
No. No, absolutely not.
54
00:03:43,824 --> 00:03:45,593
Being a librarian is a pivotal role,
55
00:03:45,660 --> 00:03:47,762
and necessarily a lonely one.
56
00:03:47,828 --> 00:03:49,564
Vik, I love working for the library,
57
00:03:49,631 --> 00:03:52,667
but life is about connection.
58
00:03:52,734 --> 00:03:53,934
And not to point out the obvious,
59
00:03:54,001 --> 00:03:56,371
but Lysa wouldn't exist
60
00:03:56,438 --> 00:03:58,139
if you and Anya didn't
have a connection.
61
00:03:58,206 --> 00:04:01,975
And did that story have a happy ending?
62
00:04:02,042 --> 00:04:04,479
Did Lysa's, with her
superbly heroic friend?
63
00:04:04,546 --> 00:04:07,315
No! Now, we can enjoy social niceties,
64
00:04:07,382 --> 00:04:10,585
and skiv off our duties
like Inventory Day,
65
00:04:11,419 --> 00:04:13,154
but to have truly human connection...
66
00:04:13,221 --> 00:04:15,757
that is a fool's errand.
67
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:21,129
Oh.
68
00:04:28,336 --> 00:04:29,170
What is it?
69
00:04:29,237 --> 00:04:30,805
It's a copy of Jane Eyre.
70
00:04:30,871 --> 00:04:32,574
Yes.
71
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:35,610
But it also is--
72
00:04:35,677 --> 00:04:37,345
was hers.
73
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:40,315
Hers?
74
00:04:41,649 --> 00:04:42,883
Anya's?
75
00:04:44,351 --> 00:04:46,388
- Is that Anya's book?
- Uh-hmm.
76
00:04:46,454 --> 00:04:50,725
I gave it to her when she first saw...
77
00:04:50,791 --> 00:04:52,059
me.
78
00:04:54,829 --> 00:04:57,064
Hey. Is that a letter?
79
00:05:02,237 --> 00:05:05,038
- What does it say?
- Connor, it's rude.
80
00:05:05,106 --> 00:05:06,808
Normally,
I would agree with Charlie,
81
00:05:06,875 --> 00:05:08,909
but I think you should hear this.
82
00:05:08,976 --> 00:05:11,044
"My dear Vikram,
83
00:05:11,112 --> 00:05:13,348
it has been 10 years
since I last saw you
84
00:05:13,415 --> 00:05:15,216
through a painting into the future.
85
00:05:15,283 --> 00:05:17,452
Our son is in France."
86
00:05:17,519 --> 00:05:19,587
[Anya Besson] My parents
attending to his education,
87
00:05:19,654 --> 00:05:21,456
while I have been called to London
88
00:05:21,523 --> 00:05:24,325
for a frivolous Garden Party to
celebrate the upcoming birth
89
00:05:24,392 --> 00:05:27,195
of yet another prince or
princess by the Queen.
90
00:05:27,995 --> 00:05:29,764
I have missed you every day.
91
00:05:29,831 --> 00:05:31,232
But it was only today
92
00:05:31,299 --> 00:05:33,267
when I saw something
I could not explain,
93
00:05:33,334 --> 00:05:35,537
something that felt like the
magic you were charged
94
00:05:35,603 --> 00:05:38,972
in seeking that I have put pen to paper.
95
00:05:39,039 --> 00:05:40,974
I know you will never read this.
96
00:05:41,041 --> 00:05:43,010
I know these words are little more
97
00:05:43,076 --> 00:05:45,580
than a way to organize my own thoughts.
98
00:05:45,647 --> 00:05:48,349
But I can't help but
wishing you were here,
99
00:05:48,416 --> 00:05:50,285
as I am overcome with this feeling
100
00:05:50,351 --> 00:05:52,754
that this man and the
magic in his possession
101
00:05:52,821 --> 00:05:55,223
will bring nothing but horrors.
102
00:05:55,290 --> 00:05:58,159
And something must be done to stop him.
103
00:05:58,226 --> 00:06:01,463
All my love, Anya.
104
00:06:07,669 --> 00:06:11,339
- Yes, my lady?
- My hat, Mary. I'm going out.
105
00:06:16,211 --> 00:06:19,012
"All my love, Anya."
106
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:21,115
It's her handwriting.
107
00:06:21,182 --> 00:06:22,150
I would know it anywhere.
108
00:06:22,217 --> 00:06:23,517
[Charlie] It's amazing.
109
00:06:23,585 --> 00:06:25,186
You know, that letter was
sitting in that book
110
00:06:25,253 --> 00:06:27,555
on that shelf all this time.
111
00:06:27,622 --> 00:06:28,988
Maybe not.
112
00:06:29,791 --> 00:06:31,024
Look.
113
00:06:32,827 --> 00:06:34,829
Metallic, slightly sour.
114
00:06:34,896 --> 00:06:36,331
This is Iron Gall ink.
115
00:06:36,397 --> 00:06:37,699
Widely used in the Victorian era,
116
00:06:37,765 --> 00:06:39,300
but it fades to brown over time.
117
00:06:39,367 --> 00:06:42,803
This is still black.
It's barely dry.
118
00:06:42,871 --> 00:06:45,707
You're not saying that
Anya wrote that letter recently?
119
00:06:45,773 --> 00:06:47,842
Only one way to find out.
120
00:06:58,887 --> 00:07:00,121
Now what?
121
00:07:01,523 --> 00:07:04,459
Now, we wait.
122
00:07:43,331 --> 00:07:45,065
- Another letter?
- Oh, my God.
123
00:07:45,133 --> 00:07:47,368
Is it a portal? A bridge?
124
00:07:48,570 --> 00:07:49,504
I do not know.
125
00:07:49,571 --> 00:07:51,239
But this book has allowed
Anya and I
126
00:07:51,306 --> 00:07:53,174
to reach out across time.
127
00:07:56,578 --> 00:07:58,746
A copy of a Victorian
romance novel is acting
128
00:07:58,813 --> 00:08:02,016
as a portal for letters
between Anya and Vikram.
129
00:08:02,082 --> 00:08:04,185
- But how?
- Lysa's not answering.
130
00:08:04,252 --> 00:08:06,754
She knows better. I'll try her.
131
00:08:06,821 --> 00:08:08,423
Okay, okay. Ideas, ideas.
132
00:08:08,489 --> 00:08:09,657
Okay. Anya said in her letter
133
00:08:09,724 --> 00:08:11,025
she encountered something magical.
134
00:08:11,091 --> 00:08:12,260
Could that be doing this?
135
00:08:12,327 --> 00:08:14,529
Maybe.
What about the book itself?
136
00:08:14,596 --> 00:08:16,631
You said you got it for her.
Where'd you get it from?
137
00:08:16,698 --> 00:08:18,199
Uh, maybe the shop you purchased?
138
00:08:18,266 --> 00:08:19,701
Not from a shop.
139
00:08:21,836 --> 00:08:22,870
From here.
140
00:08:23,871 --> 00:08:24,872
From the library.
141
00:08:32,547 --> 00:08:34,582
Mrs. Astolat!
142
00:08:34,649 --> 00:08:37,251
I need everything we have
on the Sword of Mars.
143
00:08:37,318 --> 00:08:39,153
I believe its location is near!
144
00:08:39,220 --> 00:08:40,755
Near what?
145
00:08:42,357 --> 00:08:46,027
What exactly is the Sword of Mars?
146
00:08:46,094 --> 00:08:47,729
Anya!
147
00:08:47,795 --> 00:08:49,297
I mean, my lady.
148
00:08:49,364 --> 00:08:51,366
My Lady Anya.
149
00:08:51,432 --> 00:08:53,067
What are you doing down here?
150
00:08:53,134 --> 00:08:56,604
I think the better question is
what is this doing down here?
151
00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:00,508
This is my family's castle.
152
00:09:00,575 --> 00:09:03,745
I have spent many summers
here exploring every corner,
153
00:09:03,811 --> 00:09:07,548
and I do not recall a room such as this,
154
00:09:08,383 --> 00:09:11,252
especially one with such treasures.
155
00:09:11,319 --> 00:09:14,756
Well, I am a librarian,
156
00:09:14,822 --> 00:09:17,892
as you know, working for
your fiance, Gregor.
157
00:09:17,958 --> 00:09:21,462
He told me to find a place for
my books, and here it is.
158
00:09:21,529 --> 00:09:22,497
Now I have a lot of work to do--
159
00:09:22,563 --> 00:09:24,298
Yes, my fiance--no, I didn't--
160
00:09:24,365 --> 00:09:26,868
I didn't take him as much of a reader.
161
00:09:26,934 --> 00:09:28,636
But I've only known him of a fortnight.
162
00:09:28,703 --> 00:09:31,372
What do you think of him, in that time?
163
00:09:32,473 --> 00:09:33,841
I know very little.
164
00:09:35,009 --> 00:09:37,779
But the little I do know
makes me wish I knew less.
165
00:09:37,845 --> 00:09:39,347
I'm sorry.
166
00:09:39,414 --> 00:09:41,315
- If I could help--
- Thank you.
167
00:09:41,381 --> 00:09:42,550
You cannot.
168
00:09:47,388 --> 00:09:49,490
- May I ask a favor of you.
- Anything.
169
00:09:50,357 --> 00:09:51,893
I am at your service.
170
00:09:51,958 --> 00:09:53,761
A book.
171
00:09:53,828 --> 00:09:56,664
I have read through all
of mine at least twice.
172
00:09:56,731 --> 00:09:59,000
And this is a library, is it not?
173
00:09:59,067 --> 00:10:00,868
May I borrow one?
174
00:10:00,934 --> 00:10:02,804
Of course.
175
00:10:02,870 --> 00:10:04,139
Name it.
176
00:10:04,205 --> 00:10:05,907
What if you do not have a copy?
177
00:10:05,973 --> 00:10:06,841
I will have a copy.
178
00:10:06,908 --> 00:10:08,242
Of any book?
179
00:10:08,309 --> 00:10:10,311
- Ever?
- Try me.
180
00:10:11,546 --> 00:10:14,916
My friend recommended a tale.
181
00:10:14,982 --> 00:10:16,217
Jane Eyre?
182
00:10:26,394 --> 00:10:28,362
Jane Eyre.
183
00:10:28,429 --> 00:10:31,166
A novel by Currer Bell.
184
00:10:31,232 --> 00:10:32,900
A pseudonym, if I ever heard one.
185
00:10:32,967 --> 00:10:34,969
You really have a copy.
186
00:10:35,035 --> 00:10:37,638
I am a very good librarian.
187
00:10:37,705 --> 00:10:40,742
Tell me. What is it about?
188
00:10:40,808 --> 00:10:43,544
It is about a woman who
leaves everything.
189
00:10:43,611 --> 00:10:45,379
And finds herself falling
in love with a man
190
00:10:45,446 --> 00:10:46,981
with many secrets.
191
00:10:48,583 --> 00:10:50,818
I've wanted to read it for ages.
192
00:10:50,885 --> 00:10:52,886
Keep it.
193
00:10:52,953 --> 00:10:54,722
It's yours.
194
00:11:03,064 --> 00:11:04,599
One small point.
195
00:11:05,666 --> 00:11:08,602
My friend, you see, is the publisher,
196
00:11:08,669 --> 00:11:11,506
and this book is not due
to be in the booksellers
197
00:11:11,572 --> 00:11:13,574
for several weeks.
198
00:11:13,641 --> 00:11:16,077
The only copies of this
book are in boxes
199
00:11:16,145 --> 00:11:17,246
in the publishing house.
200
00:11:17,311 --> 00:11:21,582
So, Vikram Chamberlain,
201
00:11:21,649 --> 00:11:26,087
how is it that you, in a hidden room
202
00:11:26,155 --> 00:11:28,322
in a castle in Belgrade,
203
00:11:28,389 --> 00:11:30,758
seem to have a copy?
204
00:11:30,825 --> 00:11:34,061
What are your secrets, Vikram?
205
00:11:41,203 --> 00:11:42,436
[Charlie] Vikram.
206
00:11:44,273 --> 00:11:46,208
No. None of that.
207
00:11:46,275 --> 00:11:48,776
I am at peace with being alone.
208
00:11:48,843 --> 00:11:50,344
You're not alone.
209
00:11:50,410 --> 00:11:52,346
Yes, you have us,
210
00:11:52,413 --> 00:11:54,482
but Anya wrote you another letter.
211
00:11:56,317 --> 00:11:57,885
[Charlie] What does it say?
212
00:11:57,952 --> 00:11:59,086
"My dearest Vikram,
213
00:11:59,154 --> 00:12:01,190
I was astonished to see
your words in my book.
214
00:12:01,256 --> 00:12:02,390
I long for your hands
215
00:12:02,456 --> 00:12:04,692
and your lips on my"--
216
00:12:06,828 --> 00:12:08,130
well...
217
00:12:08,197 --> 00:12:11,999
I'm gonna save the rest
of that for later.
218
00:12:14,001 --> 00:12:15,570
Ah, here we are!
"I have made headway
219
00:12:15,636 --> 00:12:16,938
in my investigation
220
00:12:17,004 --> 00:12:20,142
since I last wrote by
retracing my steps."
221
00:12:20,208 --> 00:12:23,245
[Anya] But the crates and the
man were nowhere to be found.
222
00:12:24,313 --> 00:12:27,081
Luckily, some evidence was left behind."
223
00:12:27,149 --> 00:12:28,317
Sorry.
224
00:12:37,592 --> 00:12:39,360
That is no way for a lady to behave.
225
00:12:39,427 --> 00:12:40,895
- I'm not a lady!
- Well, if you are not,
226
00:12:40,962 --> 00:12:42,730
I will call the constable
to deal with you,
227
00:12:42,797 --> 00:12:44,266
but if you are, we can
deal with each other.
228
00:12:44,333 --> 00:12:47,768
Now, are you going to keep
your hands to yourself?
229
00:12:50,071 --> 00:12:51,706
Perhaps you could help
me with something.
230
00:12:52,607 --> 00:12:55,610
There was a gentleman
with boxes over there,
231
00:12:55,676 --> 00:12:57,279
and now they're missing.
232
00:12:57,346 --> 00:12:59,147
Do you know where he went?
233
00:12:59,214 --> 00:13:01,682
I dropped a coin earlier.
Did you happen to see it?
234
00:13:02,917 --> 00:13:04,819
- A penny?
- Sixpence.
235
00:13:06,221 --> 00:13:07,788
Very well.
236
00:13:09,191 --> 00:13:10,625
I don't know where he went,
237
00:13:10,691 --> 00:13:12,526
but I heard him talk
about the Cabot Club.
238
00:13:12,593 --> 00:13:14,528
The Cabot Club.
239
00:13:14,595 --> 00:13:16,497
It's a gentlemen's-only
club, no women allowed,
240
00:13:16,564 --> 00:13:18,032
not even servants.
241
00:13:18,099 --> 00:13:19,368
As a lady, I'm offended.
242
00:13:19,433 --> 00:13:21,002
As am I.
243
00:13:22,035 --> 00:13:24,505
I don't suppose you have
any brothers, do you?
244
00:13:24,572 --> 00:13:25,740
About my size?
245
00:13:25,806 --> 00:13:27,607
I dropped a shilling earlier, too.
246
00:13:47,695 --> 00:13:51,866
This is what you need.
Nitric acid.
247
00:13:51,933 --> 00:13:52,967
Hmm.
248
00:13:54,702 --> 00:13:57,004
A chemical reaction, eh?
249
00:13:57,071 --> 00:13:58,039
Fascinating.
250
00:13:58,106 --> 00:14:00,508
Only when exposed to the elements.
251
00:14:00,574 --> 00:14:03,044
Boy!
That is meant for the kitchens!
252
00:14:03,111 --> 00:14:04,078
[Anya] Yes, sir.
253
00:14:06,415 --> 00:14:08,449
Ugh, a woman!
254
00:14:08,516 --> 00:14:10,618
Insufferable bluestockings!
255
00:14:10,684 --> 00:14:12,354
Next thing you know,
256
00:14:12,421 --> 00:14:14,389
they'll be wanting the vote!
257
00:14:14,455 --> 00:14:15,890
"The man in question eluded me,
258
00:14:15,957 --> 00:14:17,558
but while he is otherwise nondescript,
259
00:14:17,625 --> 00:14:21,229
I did manage to catch a glimpse
of a strange tattoo on his arm."
260
00:14:22,029 --> 00:14:25,400
Well, what kind of tattoo?
The navy? A prisoner?
261
00:14:25,466 --> 00:14:29,104
This is just like her to offer
a modicum of information,
262
00:14:29,171 --> 00:14:31,273
and then, flit it away--
263
00:14:31,340 --> 00:14:32,673
there's more on the bottom.
264
00:14:32,740 --> 00:14:34,942
"Flip the page over, darling."
265
00:14:35,009 --> 00:14:36,944
Hmm.
266
00:14:37,011 --> 00:14:38,113
My word.
267
00:14:39,580 --> 00:14:41,283
It's worse than the navy.
268
00:14:41,350 --> 00:14:42,783
[Connor] What? What is it?
269
00:14:43,551 --> 00:14:44,585
Is that...
270
00:14:44,652 --> 00:14:46,854
Serpent Brotherhood.
271
00:14:52,127 --> 00:14:54,028
Vikram, calm down.
272
00:14:54,095 --> 00:14:54,962
I'll try Lysa again.
273
00:14:55,029 --> 00:14:55,796
I am calm.
274
00:14:55,863 --> 00:14:57,432
I am amazingly calm.
275
00:14:57,498 --> 00:14:59,667
I will be calmer when
I get back to 1857.
276
00:14:59,734 --> 00:15:01,002
Now where's my cane?
277
00:15:01,068 --> 00:15:01,736
Aha!
278
00:15:01,802 --> 00:15:03,238
Vik, you can't do that.
279
00:15:03,305 --> 00:15:04,739
You're gonna tell me how
I'm messing with the timeline,
280
00:15:04,805 --> 00:15:06,874
cause an apocalypse, blah, blah, blah?
281
00:15:06,941 --> 00:15:09,144
Also, we dismantled your time machine.
282
00:15:09,211 --> 00:15:10,077
It's completely useless.
283
00:15:10,145 --> 00:15:11,846
I don't care!
284
00:15:11,912 --> 00:15:13,647
This is the Serpent Brotherhood!
285
00:15:13,714 --> 00:15:15,217
Do you know how active they had been
286
00:15:15,283 --> 00:15:16,284
in the 19th Century?
287
00:15:16,351 --> 00:15:17,685
Do you know how many Librarians
288
00:15:17,752 --> 00:15:19,720
have lost their lives in their quest
289
00:15:19,787 --> 00:15:21,189
to let magic loose upon the world?
290
00:15:21,256 --> 00:15:22,923
Which is why you should warn her. Right?
291
00:15:22,990 --> 00:15:24,759
Tell her how dangerous they are.
292
00:15:30,298 --> 00:15:32,167
Warn her?
You would like me to warn her?
293
00:15:32,234 --> 00:15:35,170
All right. I will show
you how this goes, hmm?
294
00:15:35,237 --> 00:15:40,007
"Dearest Anya, this man
is beyond dangerous,
295
00:15:40,074 --> 00:15:42,743
stay away from him at all costs."
296
00:15:42,810 --> 00:15:45,613
Good. I'm sure she will listen.
297
00:15:55,490 --> 00:15:57,125
"Dear Vikram,
298
00:15:58,360 --> 00:15:59,528
that's adorable."
299
00:15:59,593 --> 00:16:01,562
Anya has many wonderful qualities,
300
00:16:01,629 --> 00:16:03,798
but incuriousness is not one of them.
301
00:16:03,864 --> 00:16:06,535
She will dive headlong into this,
302
00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:07,868
and I cannot stop her.
303
00:16:07,935 --> 00:16:10,372
If she's gonna go after him anyway,
304
00:16:10,439 --> 00:16:11,473
let's help her.
305
00:16:11,540 --> 00:16:12,940
[Charlie] And Connor's right.
306
00:16:13,007 --> 00:16:15,544
You can't go back in time,
but we can still help.
307
00:16:15,609 --> 00:16:17,279
- Yeah.
- In her letters, she said
308
00:16:17,345 --> 00:16:19,247
the man with the tattoo
was meeting someone
309
00:16:19,314 --> 00:16:20,614
with golden fingers.
310
00:16:20,681 --> 00:16:22,350
- And a trunk of chemicals.
- Photography.
311
00:16:22,417 --> 00:16:24,685
There were tons of chemicals
used in early photography.
312
00:16:24,752 --> 00:16:26,421
Uh, silver nitrate,
313
00:16:26,488 --> 00:16:28,022
uh, mercury vapor.
314
00:16:28,089 --> 00:16:30,559
Sodium thiosulfate was
used to set photographs.
315
00:16:30,624 --> 00:16:32,860
Yes. It was cutting edge in my time.
316
00:16:32,927 --> 00:16:35,363
They would tone it with gold
to make the image stronger.
317
00:16:35,430 --> 00:16:36,664
Which would stain the fingers.
318
00:16:36,730 --> 00:16:38,567
So, we are looking for a photographer.
319
00:16:38,632 --> 00:16:40,235
And to be allowed into the Cabot Club,
320
00:16:40,302 --> 00:16:41,735
he'd have to come from
a good reputation,
321
00:16:41,802 --> 00:16:43,271
- possibly a Peer.
- [Charlie] Hmm.
322
00:16:43,338 --> 00:16:46,441
There can only be so many
photographers in London in 1857.
323
00:16:46,508 --> 00:16:47,708
You know what?
324
00:16:47,775 --> 00:16:48,776
I'm betting there's a book in here
325
00:16:48,843 --> 00:16:50,278
with their names and addresses.
326
00:16:56,284 --> 00:16:59,854
[Vikram] "If you insist
on pursuing this course,
327
00:16:59,920 --> 00:17:02,723
here is a list of
photographers in the area,
328
00:17:02,790 --> 00:17:05,560
"hopefully one will..."
329
00:17:09,131 --> 00:17:10,931
[Vikram] "Hopefully one will bear fruit.
330
00:17:12,334 --> 00:17:17,105
Please be careful, my love,
danger is lurking."
331
00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:33,255
- [Mrs. Astolat] Finally!
- Ooh!
332
00:17:33,321 --> 00:17:34,788
- There you are.
- Mrs. Astolat.
333
00:17:34,855 --> 00:17:36,857
- Were you just following me?
- Of course!
334
00:17:36,924 --> 00:17:39,059
In fact, I have been looking
for you for some time.
335
00:17:39,127 --> 00:17:40,961
Why? Is everything all right?
336
00:17:41,028 --> 00:17:42,597
I did not think you ever left Belgrade.
337
00:17:42,663 --> 00:17:44,166
Only out of necessity.
338
00:17:44,232 --> 00:17:45,567
I've been charged with closing out
339
00:17:45,634 --> 00:17:47,135
Vikram's annex to the Library.
340
00:17:47,202 --> 00:17:49,337
I cannot do that until all its
contents have been returned.
341
00:17:49,404 --> 00:17:52,207
I believe you have the last one.
342
00:17:52,273 --> 00:17:54,643
- A copy of Jane Eyre?
- No.
343
00:17:54,708 --> 00:17:57,379
I mean, yes, I do have it,
344
00:17:57,445 --> 00:18:00,315
but I cannot give it to you.
345
00:18:00,382 --> 00:18:04,084
I understand you may have
some sentimental attachment.
346
00:18:04,152 --> 00:18:06,521
Vikram's annex must be
reabsorbed into the Library.
347
00:18:06,588 --> 00:18:08,856
It's far too dangerous to
have it sitting open.
348
00:18:08,923 --> 00:18:10,791
It is not sentiment.
349
00:18:10,858 --> 00:18:12,026
It is Vikram.
350
00:18:13,794 --> 00:18:16,131
I do not know why or how,
351
00:18:16,198 --> 00:18:20,468
but because of this book,
I'm able to speak with him.
352
00:18:21,436 --> 00:18:22,936
And it's been so long.
353
00:18:23,003 --> 00:18:24,472
And I've missed him,
354
00:18:24,539 --> 00:18:26,773
and been lonely enough,
and so angry with him,
355
00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:31,379
so to see his handwriting
from across time is...
356
00:18:31,446 --> 00:18:32,813
Oh, my poor dear girl.
357
00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:34,748
I can only imagine how you're feeling.
358
00:18:34,815 --> 00:18:36,218
It's not just that.
359
00:18:37,519 --> 00:18:39,787
I saw something that looked like magic.
360
00:18:39,853 --> 00:18:41,189
And Vikram is helping me investigate.
361
00:18:41,256 --> 00:18:44,359
So, you see,
I cannot give this back to you,
362
00:18:44,426 --> 00:18:45,826
not yet, at least.
363
00:18:45,893 --> 00:18:48,263
The Library must have
known you needed Vikram,
364
00:18:48,330 --> 00:18:50,763
and found a way to lend him to you.
365
00:18:51,666 --> 00:18:53,468
I will help you on your quest.
366
00:18:53,535 --> 00:18:55,836
But once the deed is done,
367
00:18:55,903 --> 00:18:58,640
the book must go back into its place.
368
00:18:58,707 --> 00:19:00,242
Does that sound fair?
369
00:19:01,443 --> 00:19:02,677
Indeed.
370
00:19:02,743 --> 00:19:04,713
So, what are we hunting?
371
00:19:04,778 --> 00:19:07,115
A photographer.
372
00:19:16,890 --> 00:19:20,328
Uh, Mr., uh, Bambridge?
373
00:19:20,395 --> 00:19:22,763
Mr. William Bambridge?
374
00:19:22,830 --> 00:19:24,366
Well, this is certainly a better class
375
00:19:24,432 --> 00:19:26,701
of photographic studio than
the other five we've seen.
376
00:19:26,767 --> 00:19:30,171
Oh, yes.
Well, look at that clientele.
377
00:19:32,340 --> 00:19:35,677
"Royal photographer to her
Majesty Queen Victoria."
378
00:19:35,744 --> 00:19:39,013
Hmm. Mr. Bambridge?
379
00:19:39,079 --> 00:19:41,015
I'm here to have my portrait taken?
380
00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:43,184
- Something feels off.
- Feels off?
381
00:19:43,251 --> 00:19:44,785
I was a knight, Lady Anya.
382
00:19:44,852 --> 00:19:46,454
I learned to trust my feelings.
383
00:19:46,521 --> 00:19:48,088
You would think at the very least,
384
00:19:48,156 --> 00:19:50,492
a photographer to the Queen
would have a camera.
385
00:19:50,558 --> 00:19:53,395
See? The markings on the floor, there.
386
00:19:53,461 --> 00:19:55,230
There was a tripod here.
387
00:19:58,532 --> 00:20:00,302
Ooh.
388
00:20:04,372 --> 00:20:07,142
Goodness.
389
00:20:07,208 --> 00:20:08,643
It's the photographer from the club.
390
00:20:08,710 --> 00:20:10,244
Someone was just here.
391
00:20:10,311 --> 00:20:14,148
Uh, Mr. Bambridge?
Mr. Bambridge!
392
00:20:16,518 --> 00:20:17,552
No sign of him.
393
00:20:17,619 --> 00:20:19,953
Whoever he was, he's slippery.
394
00:20:20,020 --> 00:20:20,888
Is he alive?
395
00:20:20,954 --> 00:20:22,724
Barely. Weak pulse.
396
00:20:22,791 --> 00:20:23,991
Looks like a blow to the head.
397
00:20:24,058 --> 00:20:25,826
We must get him to the hospital at once.
398
00:20:28,028 --> 00:20:29,397
- She found him.
- The photographer?
399
00:20:29,464 --> 00:20:31,132
Yes. Research for the win, baby.
Come on.
400
00:20:31,199 --> 00:20:32,900
They found him almost dead.
He had been attacked.
401
00:20:32,965 --> 00:20:34,234
If they got there a minute earlier,
402
00:20:34,302 --> 00:20:35,369
Anya would've been the
one who was attacked.
403
00:20:35,436 --> 00:20:36,104
But she's all right.
404
00:20:36,171 --> 00:20:37,472
Only by sheer luck!
405
00:20:37,539 --> 00:20:40,175
This. This is what comes from our help?
406
00:20:41,542 --> 00:20:43,311
I am stuck.
407
00:20:43,378 --> 00:20:45,480
Mired in a different time and place
408
00:20:45,547 --> 00:20:47,981
and I cannot save her.
409
00:20:48,048 --> 00:20:49,384
Well, imagine how she felt,
410
00:20:49,451 --> 00:20:51,051
every time you went off
to be the Librarian.
411
00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:53,388
This is not the same.
She was never a Librarian.
412
00:20:53,455 --> 00:20:54,321
No, she's not.
413
00:20:54,388 --> 00:20:56,691
But there is a Librarian in 1857.
414
00:20:56,758 --> 00:20:59,728
Oh, uh--
415
00:20:59,794 --> 00:21:02,664
ah, The Book of Librarians.
416
00:21:02,731 --> 00:21:05,532
A registry of every single
Librarian in history.
417
00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:07,769
Oh, Connor, you beautiful genius.
418
00:21:07,836 --> 00:21:11,638
If I can't be by her side,
at least a Librarian can!
419
00:21:11,705 --> 00:21:12,873
Found him!
420
00:21:12,940 --> 00:21:14,942
And in 1857, he's based in London.
421
00:21:15,008 --> 00:21:16,578
My darling,
422
00:21:16,644 --> 00:21:18,979
you must now realize it
is far too dangerous
423
00:21:19,046 --> 00:21:21,349
to investigate alone.
424
00:21:21,416 --> 00:21:23,585
With the Serpent Brotherhood involved,
425
00:21:23,651 --> 00:21:27,054
the time has come to
bring in assistance.
426
00:21:27,122 --> 00:21:29,224
The Librarian of your time,
427
00:21:29,290 --> 00:21:31,892
the one who no doubt replaced me,
428
00:21:31,959 --> 00:21:33,927
will know how to help."
429
00:21:34,994 --> 00:21:36,297
[Connor] His name's Benedict Hale.
430
00:21:36,364 --> 00:21:39,066
He studied at Oxford.
The Sorbonne, has...
431
00:21:39,134 --> 00:21:40,635
almost as many degrees as me.
432
00:21:40,702 --> 00:21:42,069
He's travelled everywhere.
433
00:21:45,573 --> 00:21:47,776
- Studied martial arts in Japan.
- Hmm.
434
00:21:47,842 --> 00:21:49,577
[Charlie] Benedict Hale.
435
00:21:54,715 --> 00:21:56,317
If you would wait here, my lady.
436
00:21:56,384 --> 00:21:58,253
Mr. Hale will be with you shortly.
437
00:21:58,319 --> 00:22:00,688
[Vikram] "With the help
of the Librarian,
438
00:22:00,755 --> 00:22:01,823
you will be safe."
439
00:22:23,278 --> 00:22:25,213
Mr. Hale will be just a moment.
440
00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:26,815
May I bring you some refreshment?
441
00:22:26,881 --> 00:22:28,416
No, thank you.
442
00:22:32,253 --> 00:22:35,490
Actually, I would love some
tea, if that's all right.
443
00:23:00,849 --> 00:23:02,917
Lady Anya Besson.
444
00:23:02,983 --> 00:23:04,285
Do you know
I could hardly believe it
445
00:23:04,352 --> 00:23:06,086
when my valet handed me your card.
446
00:23:06,154 --> 00:23:08,021
- Mr. Hale.
- Well, what have I done
447
00:23:08,088 --> 00:23:09,390
to earn the pleasure of your visit?
448
00:23:09,457 --> 00:23:11,392
No, the pleasure is all mine.
449
00:23:11,459 --> 00:23:13,127
You know, I know knew we've not
been formally introduced,
450
00:23:13,194 --> 00:23:16,464
but your face, it's very familiar to me.
451
00:23:16,531 --> 00:23:18,266
I feel like I've seen
you somewhere before.
452
00:23:18,333 --> 00:23:20,468
I doubt that, I've only
just arrived in London.
453
00:23:20,535 --> 00:23:22,704
Which makes your familiarity
all the more strange.
454
00:23:22,770 --> 00:23:26,340
I mean, we don't exactly run in
the same circles, you and I.
455
00:23:26,407 --> 00:23:27,709
Hmm, no.
456
00:23:27,775 --> 00:23:29,777
Besides, you still haven't
told me why you're here.
457
00:23:31,412 --> 00:23:33,982
An acquaintance suggested
that I call upon you.
458
00:23:34,047 --> 00:23:35,282
Who?
459
00:23:36,251 --> 00:23:37,652
Which acquaintance?
460
00:23:37,719 --> 00:23:40,053
Oh, I, uh...
461
00:23:40,121 --> 00:23:41,489
- oh, goodness me!
- Careful!
462
00:23:41,556 --> 00:23:42,991
Oh, sorry.
463
00:23:43,056 --> 00:23:45,058
Modern fashion is terribly constricting.
464
00:23:45,126 --> 00:23:46,694
- Oh, quite.
- Oh, no.
465
00:23:46,761 --> 00:23:48,696
Have I damaged your trophy?
466
00:23:48,763 --> 00:23:51,132
No, this is not a trophy.
467
00:23:51,199 --> 00:23:55,169
This is the Silver Star of Abyssinia.
468
00:23:55,236 --> 00:23:57,839
Ancient, and intact, thankfully.
469
00:23:57,906 --> 00:23:59,741
- Hmm.
- Please.
470
00:23:59,807 --> 00:24:01,509
Oh, thank you.
471
00:24:02,777 --> 00:24:03,978
You're too kind.
472
00:24:04,044 --> 00:24:05,780
Lady Anya, I need to know who sent you.
473
00:24:06,981 --> 00:24:08,148
Mr. Bambridge.
474
00:24:09,183 --> 00:24:10,752
- Bambridge?
- [Anya] Yes.
475
00:24:10,818 --> 00:24:12,220
Bambridge.
476
00:24:12,287 --> 00:24:15,623
You see, I had my portrait
taken a few weeks ago.
477
00:24:15,690 --> 00:24:17,125
Oh, that must be where you know me from.
478
00:24:17,191 --> 00:24:19,193
You must have seen it at his studio.
479
00:24:19,260 --> 00:24:22,730
He said that you might
be able to help me.
480
00:24:22,797 --> 00:24:24,465
Help you with what?
481
00:24:24,532 --> 00:24:26,401
I am raising money for
the widows and orphans
482
00:24:26,467 --> 00:24:28,436
of the terrible conflict in Crimea.
483
00:24:28,503 --> 00:24:30,038
Mr. Bambridge said that
484
00:24:30,104 --> 00:24:33,508
you're a man of intellect and sympathy.
485
00:24:33,575 --> 00:24:36,744
Can the widows and orphans
count on your support?
486
00:24:36,811 --> 00:24:38,513
Hmm.
487
00:24:47,288 --> 00:24:49,057
We must stop meeting like this.
488
00:24:49,123 --> 00:24:50,358
Mrs. Astolat, you frightened me.
489
00:24:50,425 --> 00:24:52,160
You seem already frightened.
490
00:24:52,927 --> 00:24:54,162
Mr. Bambridge?
491
00:24:54,228 --> 00:24:55,964
Oh, at the hospital, still unconscious.
492
00:24:56,030 --> 00:24:57,298
I left him in the hands of a nurse.
493
00:24:57,365 --> 00:24:59,300
Nightingale-trained, thank God.
494
00:24:59,367 --> 00:25:00,868
She thinks he'll make a good recovery.
495
00:25:00,935 --> 00:25:03,471
Good. We must go home at
once to write to Vikram.
496
00:25:03,538 --> 00:25:06,340
Why? Was the new Librarian
not able to help you?
497
00:25:06,407 --> 00:25:08,542
It's him.
The man I saw with the orb.
498
00:25:08,609 --> 00:25:09,911
The new Librarian's been corrupted
499
00:25:09,978 --> 00:25:11,479
by the Serpent Brotherhood.
500
00:25:13,314 --> 00:25:14,816
[Charlie] I don't get it.
501
00:25:14,882 --> 00:25:17,185
That the Book of Librarians
has nothing on Benedict Hale
502
00:25:17,251 --> 00:25:19,087
being corrupted by the
Serpent Brotherhood.
503
00:25:19,153 --> 00:25:20,521
And I think I know why.
504
00:25:20,588 --> 00:25:21,955
Anya got a better look this time,
505
00:25:22,023 --> 00:25:23,825
hence I was able to find her orb.
506
00:25:23,891 --> 00:25:27,494
Benedict Hale is in possession
of the Scrying Ball.
507
00:25:27,561 --> 00:25:30,164
But I thought the Scrying Ball
was already in the Library?
508
00:25:30,231 --> 00:25:31,532
It wasn't in 1857.
509
00:25:31,599 --> 00:25:33,701
Uh, hold on.
What's the Scrying Ball?
510
00:25:33,768 --> 00:25:35,670
It's what the myths of
crystal balls are based on.
511
00:25:35,737 --> 00:25:36,771
It shows the future.
512
00:25:36,838 --> 00:25:39,374
More specifically, the worst of future.
513
00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:40,842
Oh, it's a nightmare fuel.
514
00:25:40,907 --> 00:25:42,343
And judging by Benedict's murder board,
515
00:25:42,410 --> 00:25:43,778
his nightmare is World War I.
516
00:25:43,845 --> 00:25:45,546
It's a good guess that
the Serpent Brotherhood
517
00:25:45,613 --> 00:25:47,315
found the Scrying Ball, and
then fed it to Benedict
518
00:25:47,382 --> 00:25:48,750
to turn him to their side.
519
00:25:48,816 --> 00:25:51,319
But the reason it's not in
the Book of Librarians
520
00:25:51,386 --> 00:25:53,021
is that anytime a future is revealed,
521
00:25:53,087 --> 00:25:56,858
the act of revelation allows
that future to be changed.
522
00:25:56,924 --> 00:25:59,861
- A Librarian would know that.
- Uh-huh.
523
00:25:59,927 --> 00:26:01,529
So Benedict intends to
change the future?
524
00:26:01,596 --> 00:26:03,765
- Hmm.
- I mean, I don't blame him.
525
00:26:03,830 --> 00:26:05,532
If you saw the trenches of World War I,
526
00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:07,602
- wouldn't you try to stop it?
- [Charlie] Yeah, but how?
527
00:26:07,669 --> 00:26:10,105
It doesn't happen for another 60 years.
528
00:26:10,171 --> 00:26:13,374
Victoria. She's the nexus point.
529
00:26:13,441 --> 00:26:14,709
Are you telling me
530
00:26:14,776 --> 00:26:16,611
that Queen Victoria caused World War I?
531
00:26:16,678 --> 00:26:18,379
No, no, no, no.
But before Victoria,
532
00:26:18,446 --> 00:26:20,281
the British monarchy was in crisis.
533
00:26:20,348 --> 00:26:21,749
She takes the throne at 18,
534
00:26:21,816 --> 00:26:23,618
the last member of the royal line.
535
00:26:23,685 --> 00:26:25,453
Then, she married her beloved Albert
536
00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:28,890
and proceeded to produce some
half a dozen royal brats.
537
00:26:28,955 --> 00:26:31,225
Actually, she had nine,
538
00:26:31,292 --> 00:26:33,628
the last being born in 1857.
539
00:26:33,695 --> 00:26:35,530
These little princes and
princesses grow up
540
00:26:35,596 --> 00:26:38,666
to marry all across the
royal houses of Europe.
541
00:26:38,733 --> 00:26:39,634
In World War I,
542
00:26:39,701 --> 00:26:41,669
Britain's George V is fighting
543
00:26:41,736 --> 00:26:44,138
against his cousin,
Kaiser Wilhelm.
544
00:26:44,205 --> 00:26:45,506
And their other cousin,
Alexandra,
545
00:26:45,573 --> 00:26:47,275
is married to Nicholas II of Russia,
546
00:26:47,340 --> 00:26:49,444
and they're busy watching
his empire fall.
547
00:26:49,510 --> 00:26:51,180
These are Victoria's grandchildren.
548
00:26:51,244 --> 00:26:52,213
All of Europe is a massive network
549
00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:53,648
of cousins and relationships.
550
00:26:53,715 --> 00:26:55,550
And if you were the Librarian in 1857
551
00:26:55,616 --> 00:26:57,452
and you wanted to change that future,
552
00:26:57,518 --> 00:27:00,922
one thing you could do is
take out these players.
553
00:27:00,988 --> 00:27:03,691
But I don't mean to
play devil's advocate,
554
00:27:03,758 --> 00:27:06,394
but wouldn't it be a good
thing to stop World War I?
555
00:27:06,461 --> 00:27:07,695
Magic always has consequences.
556
00:27:07,762 --> 00:27:10,263
And these consequences are severe.
557
00:27:10,330 --> 00:27:11,933
The consensus of nearly every historian
558
00:27:11,999 --> 00:27:14,469
is that World War I
happens no matter what.
559
00:27:14,535 --> 00:27:15,869
There were too many tensions
rising across Europe
560
00:27:15,936 --> 00:27:17,672
from too many different directions.
561
00:27:17,739 --> 00:27:20,475
But, having these royal
houses related to each other
562
00:27:20,541 --> 00:27:22,477
keep it from happening too soon.
563
00:27:22,542 --> 00:27:24,045
Okay, gaming this on,
564
00:27:24,113 --> 00:27:27,080
if a British succession
crisis happens in 1857,
565
00:27:27,148 --> 00:27:29,550
that would just drive wild
Austro-Hungarian expansion--
566
00:27:29,617 --> 00:27:30,818
Could you please summarize
it for those of us
567
00:27:30,885 --> 00:27:32,887
who don't have advanced history degrees?
568
00:27:33,755 --> 00:27:35,556
The most likely scenario is that
569
00:27:35,623 --> 00:27:38,760
if you remove the British
royal family in 1857,
570
00:27:38,826 --> 00:27:42,396
World War I doesn't start in 1914.
571
00:27:42,463 --> 00:27:46,901
It starts around 1890,
572
00:27:46,968 --> 00:27:49,804
before America is ready
to enter the war.
573
00:27:50,605 --> 00:27:52,039
So the Allies actually lose.
574
00:27:52,107 --> 00:27:55,443
Which would have a cascade
effect on history.
575
00:27:55,510 --> 00:27:57,212
It changes the war after that,
576
00:27:57,278 --> 00:27:59,313
which causes another war after that,
577
00:27:59,380 --> 00:28:04,018
this one with mutual
nuclear capabilities.
578
00:28:07,021 --> 00:28:08,289
[Connor] So...
579
00:28:10,291 --> 00:28:13,528
Instead of stopping World War I,
580
00:28:13,594 --> 00:28:14,929
Benedict Hale causes World War III
581
00:28:14,996 --> 00:28:17,598
by killing Queen Victoria
and her family.
582
00:28:17,665 --> 00:28:19,268
How?
583
00:28:19,333 --> 00:28:20,535
Wait, didn't Anya say she was in London
584
00:28:20,601 --> 00:28:21,769
to celebrate the birth
585
00:28:21,836 --> 00:28:23,471
of the newest prince or princess?
586
00:28:23,538 --> 00:28:25,240
Yes. The royal family will
be together in public,
587
00:28:25,306 --> 00:28:26,674
a rare occurrence.
588
00:28:26,741 --> 00:28:28,943
But Anya saw no evidence of weaponry.
589
00:28:29,010 --> 00:28:30,611
Except for nitric acid.
590
00:28:30,678 --> 00:28:32,747
Uh, it's used in explosives, munitions.
591
00:28:32,814 --> 00:28:34,448
It's also used in early photography.
592
00:28:34,515 --> 00:28:37,318
Uh, camera plates were
coated in silver nitrate.
593
00:28:37,385 --> 00:28:39,254
The Silver Star! Yes.
594
00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:40,888
The Silver Star of Abyssinia.
595
00:28:40,955 --> 00:28:42,990
"When the proper incantation is spoken,
596
00:28:43,057 --> 00:28:45,294
the Silver Star of Abyssinia is capable
597
00:28:45,359 --> 00:28:48,696
of taking the souls of those in view."
598
00:28:48,763 --> 00:28:50,464
So if Benedict uses nitric acid
599
00:28:50,531 --> 00:28:52,667
to turn the Silver Star
into a camera plate...
600
00:28:52,733 --> 00:28:54,902
Bambridge.
He's a royal photographer.
601
00:28:54,969 --> 00:28:57,605
Benedict poses as him, takes the photo,
602
00:28:57,672 --> 00:28:59,841
and the royal family
blips out of existence.
603
00:29:00,608 --> 00:29:02,844
I must warn Anya. She cannot--
604
00:29:06,013 --> 00:29:08,116
What's it say?
605
00:29:08,183 --> 00:29:11,253
5As usual, she is ahead of us.
606
00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:13,020
She has figured out
Benedict's plan.
607
00:29:14,622 --> 00:29:16,724
And she intends to stop him.
608
00:29:19,594 --> 00:29:21,529
[Mrs. Astolat] This lace is so itchy.
609
00:29:21,596 --> 00:29:24,199
[Anya] Yes. Well, fashion
is rarely comfortable.
610
00:29:24,266 --> 00:29:26,335
You should not have spent so
much of your money on me.
611
00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:29,570
I didn't. Benedict Hale gave 10
pounds for widows and orphans,
612
00:29:29,637 --> 00:29:30,938
and I thought the best
use was preventing him
613
00:29:31,005 --> 00:29:32,874
from making any more widows and orphans.
614
00:29:32,940 --> 00:29:35,009
I do not see how an itchy dress helps.
615
00:29:35,076 --> 00:29:36,544
Well, we must blend in.
616
00:29:36,611 --> 00:29:37,545
Yeah, come on, ladies.
617
00:29:37,612 --> 00:29:39,214
If we are to find Mr. Hale
618
00:29:39,281 --> 00:29:41,449
before he uses the magic
camera on the Queen.
619
00:29:41,515 --> 00:29:42,683
But how are we going to do that?
620
00:29:42,750 --> 00:29:44,619
No idea. Making it up as I go.
621
00:29:44,685 --> 00:29:47,088
[Anya] What?
622
00:29:47,155 --> 00:29:50,024
You and Vikram Chamberlain
are quite the pair.
623
00:29:50,091 --> 00:29:52,426
- [Anya] Ah.
- [Mrs. Astolat] Ah.
624
00:29:52,493 --> 00:29:53,628
[Anya] Major Domo.
625
00:29:53,694 --> 00:29:55,062
Will the Queen be joining us?
626
00:29:55,130 --> 00:29:57,132
I understand her confinement
must be very near.
627
00:29:57,199 --> 00:29:59,734
We do not discuss The Queen's
physical condition, ma'am.
628
00:29:59,800 --> 00:30:01,903
It's just I haven't seen Her Majesty
629
00:30:01,969 --> 00:30:03,971
since I was a lady-in-waiting.
I would hate to miss her.
630
00:30:04,038 --> 00:30:06,141
The Queen will be joining you shortly.
631
00:30:06,208 --> 00:30:08,709
The royal family is simply
having their portrait taken
632
00:30:08,776 --> 00:30:10,178
in the East Garden.
633
00:30:10,245 --> 00:30:11,646
Thank you.
634
00:30:13,447 --> 00:30:14,949
- East Garden?
- East Garden.
635
00:30:15,016 --> 00:30:16,285
Hmm.
636
00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:21,722
My apologies, Your Majesty.
637
00:30:21,789 --> 00:30:24,359
Mr. Bambridge is ill and
he sent me in his place.
638
00:30:24,425 --> 00:30:27,495
Now, if we could all gather a
little closer to one another.
639
00:30:27,561 --> 00:30:28,629
How are we going to get to the camera
640
00:30:28,696 --> 00:30:29,864
with all those guards present?
641
00:30:31,098 --> 00:30:33,634
You get the camera.
I'll get the guards.
642
00:30:33,701 --> 00:30:35,370
How are you going to do that?
643
00:30:35,436 --> 00:30:38,806
You're not the only one who
remembers Vikram Chamberlain.
644
00:30:38,873 --> 00:30:40,508
You cannot actually kill anyone.
645
00:30:40,574 --> 00:30:42,643
Hmm.
646
00:30:42,710 --> 00:30:44,078
Even more fun.
647
00:30:51,052 --> 00:30:53,721
Oi, fancy boys!
648
00:30:53,788 --> 00:30:55,456
I've got a weapon near The Queen,
649
00:30:55,523 --> 00:30:57,225
and I'm going to use it.
650
00:30:57,292 --> 00:30:58,693
Your Majesty!
651
00:30:58,759 --> 00:31:00,695
Please, your guards
will take care of it.
652
00:31:00,761 --> 00:31:03,097
We cannot lose the...
653
00:31:03,165 --> 00:31:05,400
Guards!
654
00:31:05,466 --> 00:31:08,103
Your Majesty, please, just stay there.
655
00:31:21,549 --> 00:31:22,783
Please.
656
00:31:24,885 --> 00:31:28,656
Please, just one more letter.
657
00:31:28,723 --> 00:31:30,658
[Charlie] Connor's deep in the stacks,
658
00:31:30,725 --> 00:31:32,227
researching.
659
00:31:37,466 --> 00:31:39,066
- Vikram.
- Don't.
660
00:31:40,634 --> 00:31:42,770
Don't tell me that she will be fine.
661
00:31:42,837 --> 00:31:44,672
Don't tell me that she will be all right
662
00:31:44,739 --> 00:31:46,741
because you cannot know that.
663
00:31:46,807 --> 00:31:48,576
- I wasn't going to.
- Good.
664
00:31:48,642 --> 00:31:50,978
Because right now, her
future and your past,
665
00:31:51,045 --> 00:31:52,381
they are in flux.
666
00:31:52,447 --> 00:31:55,117
And maybe Benedict Hale
causes World War III,
667
00:31:55,183 --> 00:31:56,617
maybe he does not.
668
00:31:56,684 --> 00:31:58,552
And maybe Anya doesn't die of old age
669
00:31:58,619 --> 00:32:00,188
surrounded by her loved ones.
670
00:32:01,055 --> 00:32:03,191
Maybe she dies trying to stop him.
671
00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:08,095
And my whole world will
end if that happens.
672
00:32:14,735 --> 00:32:17,139
You know, waiting's the hardest part.
673
00:32:17,205 --> 00:32:20,175
I always try and distract
myself by hitting something.
674
00:32:24,578 --> 00:32:26,881
When Anya first came into this annex,
675
00:32:28,216 --> 00:32:30,152
I fell in love with her immediately.
676
00:32:32,421 --> 00:32:36,158
It was as if the very
ground tipped on its side,
677
00:32:36,224 --> 00:32:38,460
and I slid right off.
678
00:32:38,527 --> 00:32:40,828
And I am yet to find my bearings.
679
00:32:41,662 --> 00:32:42,897
Why?
680
00:32:43,664 --> 00:32:48,336
Because she's brilliant,
intelligent, brave.
681
00:32:49,438 --> 00:32:51,672
She made me feel like
I could do anything.
682
00:32:52,706 --> 00:32:54,575
But really, she was the one who could.
683
00:32:55,876 --> 00:32:57,279
You still believe in her?
684
00:32:59,214 --> 00:33:01,316
Then there is one more thing you can do.
685
00:33:09,391 --> 00:33:10,825
Yes, I am a woman.
686
00:33:10,891 --> 00:33:12,427
Stick it in your pipe and smoke it.
687
00:33:29,311 --> 00:33:30,278
Okay.
688
00:33:32,947 --> 00:33:34,483
There you are.
689
00:33:34,549 --> 00:33:36,451
- No, no!
- Give it--give it to me!
690
00:33:41,256 --> 00:33:45,327
Lady Anya,
I should have known.
691
00:33:45,393 --> 00:33:46,727
Mr. Hale, you cannot do this.
692
00:33:46,794 --> 00:33:48,996
I'm gonna save the world.
693
00:33:49,063 --> 00:33:51,299
You dare to stand in my way?
694
00:33:51,366 --> 00:33:52,534
You foolish woman.
695
00:33:52,601 --> 00:33:53,934
You are wrong.
696
00:33:54,001 --> 00:33:55,470
You will not save it.
697
00:33:55,537 --> 00:33:57,139
You will instead destroy it.
698
00:33:57,205 --> 00:33:58,607
I'm a Librarian.
699
00:33:58,672 --> 00:34:00,875
I have magic at my fingertips.
700
00:34:00,941 --> 00:34:03,111
And I am never wrong.
701
00:34:03,178 --> 00:34:05,147
No.
702
00:34:05,213 --> 00:34:06,248
No.
703
00:34:31,573 --> 00:34:34,543
[Vikram] "My love,
I would do anything right now
704
00:34:34,609 --> 00:34:36,344
to be next to you,
705
00:34:36,411 --> 00:34:40,482
but I cannot cross time except in words,
706
00:34:40,549 --> 00:34:44,286
and the only words I can give
you right now are these.
707
00:34:44,352 --> 00:34:47,355
You told me once that I
could move mountains,
708
00:34:47,422 --> 00:34:50,056
but it was you who really could,
709
00:34:50,125 --> 00:34:52,260
as easily as you moved me.
710
00:34:53,328 --> 00:34:55,029
You have my heart,
711
00:34:55,094 --> 00:34:58,699
but you also have the heart
of a true Librarian.
712
00:34:58,766 --> 00:35:02,137
You are a reflection of
all the good there is."
713
00:35:03,737 --> 00:35:04,972
Reflection?
714
00:35:06,241 --> 00:35:08,610
[Vikram] "And all the best
I wish to be.
715
00:35:09,611 --> 00:35:12,180
Do everything in your power to stop him
716
00:35:12,247 --> 00:35:15,350
and show the world how
amazing you can be."
717
00:35:17,751 --> 00:35:21,989
Right. Well, there's more
than one way out of a maze.
718
00:35:29,863 --> 00:35:30,998
How did you...
719
00:35:31,065 --> 00:35:32,467
I won't let you do this.
720
00:35:32,534 --> 00:35:34,302
Guards!
721
00:35:34,369 --> 00:35:36,671
- Deal with this woman!
- Get your hands off of me!
722
00:35:36,737 --> 00:35:38,106
No!
723
00:35:39,440 --> 00:35:41,409
Deal with this woman.
724
00:35:41,476 --> 00:35:42,843
I have a picture to take.
725
00:35:42,910 --> 00:35:44,446
[Anya] Mr. Hale, you can't.
726
00:35:44,512 --> 00:35:46,914
No, Mr. Hale, you can't.
727
00:35:46,981 --> 00:35:48,216
Mr. Hale, you can't!
728
00:35:51,819 --> 00:35:54,689
Apologies for the delay,
Your Majesty.
729
00:35:54,788 --> 00:35:57,825
Now, remember, do hold still.
730
00:35:57,891 --> 00:36:00,295
This will go down in history.
731
00:36:03,632 --> 00:36:06,834
Hoc Oblatum est Anima Mea.
732
00:36:06,900 --> 00:36:08,503
What was that?
733
00:36:08,570 --> 00:36:10,338
Oh, nothing, Your Majesty.
734
00:36:10,405 --> 00:36:11,872
Now please remember, it's imperative
735
00:36:11,939 --> 00:36:14,842
that you stay perfectly still.
736
00:36:14,908 --> 00:36:16,378
Perfectly still.
737
00:36:20,382 --> 00:36:24,985
Now look and hold still,
Your Majesty.
738
00:36:29,623 --> 00:36:31,925
What's happening? No!
739
00:36:34,763 --> 00:36:36,930
No!
740
00:36:39,401 --> 00:36:41,603
Oh.
741
00:36:41,670 --> 00:36:43,672
Ha. Thank you, Mrs. Astolat.
742
00:36:44,639 --> 00:36:47,242
These palace guards
need better training.
743
00:36:50,044 --> 00:36:52,880
So, what did I miss?
744
00:36:52,946 --> 00:36:54,181
My compact mirror.
745
00:36:54,248 --> 00:36:55,717
Useful for looking around corners,
746
00:36:55,784 --> 00:36:57,619
checking one's appearance,
747
00:36:57,686 --> 00:36:59,187
and foiling plots.
748
00:36:59,254 --> 00:37:00,789
Vikram said the camera
would steal the soul
749
00:37:00,888 --> 00:37:01,822
of whoever it saw.
750
00:37:01,889 --> 00:37:03,358
So when Mr. Hale wasn't looking,
751
00:37:03,425 --> 00:37:05,260
I slipped my mirror in to
redirect the camera's gaze
752
00:37:05,327 --> 00:37:07,228
back to him and away from The Queen.
753
00:37:08,163 --> 00:37:09,830
The Queen.
754
00:37:09,897 --> 00:37:11,366
Lady Anya.
755
00:37:12,567 --> 00:37:14,034
Your Majesty.
756
00:37:15,069 --> 00:37:16,538
Was that meant to happen?
757
00:37:16,604 --> 00:37:17,772
Oh, that?
758
00:37:17,838 --> 00:37:19,474
That was just a...
759
00:37:22,876 --> 00:37:24,078
trick of the light.
760
00:37:24,145 --> 00:37:26,381
You may move now, Your Majesty.
761
00:37:37,292 --> 00:37:39,427
Oh, it's so different now,
762
00:37:39,494 --> 00:37:41,296
without Vikram here.
763
00:37:41,363 --> 00:37:42,697
He's still here.
764
00:37:42,764 --> 00:37:45,166
Or he'll be again.
765
00:37:47,235 --> 00:37:49,137
Well, at least this infernal contraption
766
00:37:49,204 --> 00:37:50,772
can be kept safe in the Library.
767
00:37:50,839 --> 00:37:53,440
And this Scrying Ball.
768
00:37:55,243 --> 00:37:57,911
Yes. And now the Annex can close.
769
00:38:00,148 --> 00:38:01,616
A promise is a promise.
770
00:38:03,118 --> 00:38:05,919
I am truly sorry to take
him from you like this.
771
00:38:05,986 --> 00:38:10,958
I did not know what it meant
to be a Librarian until now.
772
00:38:11,024 --> 00:38:13,762
The Library needs Vikram.
773
00:38:13,828 --> 00:38:15,196
Hmm.
774
00:38:15,263 --> 00:38:18,098
And the world needs the Library.
775
00:38:19,900 --> 00:38:21,870
If I have to give him up again,
776
00:38:21,935 --> 00:38:23,538
it can't be for anything less than that.
777
00:38:27,842 --> 00:38:30,311
You acquitted yourself very
well on this adventure.
778
00:38:30,378 --> 00:38:31,945
I wouldn't be surprised if the Library
779
00:38:32,012 --> 00:38:33,581
found use for you in the future.
780
00:38:33,648 --> 00:38:35,949
Ha. The future?
781
00:38:36,016 --> 00:38:38,051
Well, that is a delightful thought.
782
00:38:45,226 --> 00:38:47,796
What are your secrets, Vikram?
783
00:38:47,862 --> 00:38:51,098
I have a strange feeling
784
00:38:52,434 --> 00:38:56,371
that I will never be able to
keep any secrets from you,
785
00:38:56,438 --> 00:38:57,238
Anya.
786
00:38:57,305 --> 00:38:59,239
Oh, no, I'm very determined.
787
00:39:00,175 --> 00:39:01,843
So I am learning.
788
00:39:14,522 --> 00:39:17,892
[Anya] "My love, by now, you
know the world did not end,
789
00:39:17,958 --> 00:39:21,563
just as it did not end when
we were first separated.
790
00:39:21,629 --> 00:39:22,996
It kept going on.
791
00:39:23,063 --> 00:39:24,766
At first, I thought cruelly,
792
00:39:24,833 --> 00:39:27,968
but now I know it moved forward
for both of our sakes.
793
00:39:30,738 --> 00:39:32,474
[Vikram] Anya?
794
00:39:32,540 --> 00:39:34,476
Not quite. Sorry.
795
00:39:35,976 --> 00:39:36,844
Lysa.
796
00:39:36,911 --> 00:39:38,179
[Lysa] Sorry.
797
00:39:42,317 --> 00:39:44,652
Connor and Charlie filled me in.
798
00:39:44,719 --> 00:39:46,987
I feel like I missed out on a lot, eh?
799
00:39:47,054 --> 00:39:48,389
Indeed.
800
00:39:50,158 --> 00:39:52,460
You would have loved your
great-great grandmother.
801
00:39:54,395 --> 00:39:56,297
You and her share the same spirit.
802
00:39:58,433 --> 00:40:00,201
And it's never been more
apparent than today.
803
00:40:00,268 --> 00:40:02,170
She sounds amazing.
804
00:40:03,304 --> 00:40:06,006
I would love to read her
letters sometime, maybe?
805
00:40:06,073 --> 00:40:07,775
I think she would approve of that.
806
00:40:09,643 --> 00:40:12,747
[Anya] "Since you've been gone,
I feel like I was asleep.
807
00:40:12,814 --> 00:40:16,150
But suddenly, I've been awoken
to all the magic in the world,
808
00:40:16,217 --> 00:40:18,386
ordinary and extraordinary.
809
00:40:18,453 --> 00:40:20,288
And I want to be a part of it."
810
00:40:21,356 --> 00:40:24,259
Today has been harrowing,
811
00:40:26,527 --> 00:40:27,495
painful,
812
00:40:29,664 --> 00:40:31,064
but also a gift.
813
00:40:32,767 --> 00:40:35,670
Because I know now that I will
always have Anya with me.
814
00:40:37,005 --> 00:40:39,707
[Anya] "And you can be
a part of it, too.
815
00:40:39,774 --> 00:40:42,210
Do your work, live life,
816
00:40:42,277 --> 00:40:44,245
and keep me close to your heart."
817
00:40:46,079 --> 00:40:47,681
Because the best of her lives on.
818
00:40:49,049 --> 00:40:50,785
In her words,
819
00:40:52,085 --> 00:40:53,688
in this place,
820
00:40:56,658 --> 00:40:58,058
and in you.
821
00:40:59,294 --> 00:41:01,195
And in you, too.
822
00:41:03,731 --> 00:41:06,200
[Anya] "But don't stop
experiencing the world.
823
00:41:06,267 --> 00:41:09,137
It is wide and full of wonders.
824
00:41:09,203 --> 00:41:12,407
And I, for one, intend to enjoy it."
825
00:41:15,910 --> 00:41:17,745
But for now...
826
00:41:17,812 --> 00:41:18,980
Where are we going?
827
00:41:19,047 --> 00:41:21,549
Connor, Charlie, come along.
828
00:41:21,616 --> 00:41:22,984
We are going out.
829
00:41:23,051 --> 00:41:24,719
You are going to introduce me
830
00:41:24,786 --> 00:41:26,187
to your coffee and movie friends.
831
00:41:26,254 --> 00:41:28,189
Uh, coffee guy's not really a friend.
832
00:41:28,256 --> 00:41:30,024
- [Lysa] What?
- Uh, don't care, let's go.
