"[Grunts]" "Tell me again how you don't need a guardi..." " Aah!" " Flynn!" " That wound is bad." " Excalibur." "Lamia got the crown, and she had control over Excalibur." " Let me treat the bleeding." " You can't treat it." "It's a magical wound." " I need, um..." " W... what are you... wait!" "We got to go find Cassandra!" "No." "She's the one who let them in." "Aah!" "Well, my lack of faith in humanity is restored." "[Shudders]" "Ugh!" "Yeah, that's better." "That helps the pain." " The bleeding stopped." " Slowed, not stopped." "Bathsheba's oil of healing." "If it had been an ordinary wound, it would have stopped it, but it's a magical wound, so it's gonna slow it long enough so that we can find Charlene." "I..." "I passed her in the shelves." "She said, uh, something about meeting her deep in The Library, something about the corridor of doors." "Come on, let's go." "Go!" "Any artifacts which can move..." "prep them for transport." "Man:" "Yes, ma'am." "Man #2:" "Get going, let's go!" "Did you really have to do that?" "You've seen the power the Librarians are hiding down here, how much knowledge is locked away far from the people it can help the most." "So you're telling me that you're the good guys." "We're going to use The Library's powers to change the world." "Man:" "Let's go." "Come on!" "Hurry!" "Ezekiel:" "How big is this library?" "Flynn:" "As big as we need it to be." "[Bell tolling]" "Oh, no." "That's the countdown clock." "Flynn, what happens when the bell stops?" "Charlene, no!" "Come on, let's go!" "What do you mean "The Library is cut off from the outside world"?" "Lamia:" "Get out!" "Grab what you can and get out!" "You mean like locked doors?" "Look around you, girl!" "Can anything this big really just lie underneath the streets of New York City?" "The Library exists in its own pocket dimension anchored to our reality here." "At this single physical place." "And the first Librarian just cut the anchor chain." "[Bell tolling]" " What now?" " Four bells." "I don't know." "I've never been this deep in The Library before." "That's three bells." "Charlene... she'll know what to do." " She's not coming." " All right, Judson." "He's always here!" " He's not coming!" " Two bells." "Pick a door!" "[Crashing]" "[Bell tolls]" "[Slowly] What the hell?" "Judson?" "!" "Charlene?" "!" "[Birds chirping]" "Where are we?" "When are we?" "It's day." "We time-traveled." "Time travel." "Ugh!" "Time travel's not all it's cracked up to be." "Hey!" "Blood." "Mine." "It's crimson." "I need to eat more calcium." "Whoa." "Let's not panic." "There's a logical way to approach being trapped in the past." "Okay." "We find the local king, tell him about our powerful magic, invent a steam engine, and he gives us a duchy." "Eventually, we use our superior technology to take over the land." "I hate to break it to you King Jones the first, but I got cell service, American carrier." "Of course." "We didn't travel through time." "We traveled through space." "We came west." "It's still night in New York." "The sun's still up on the west coast." "GPS coming online." "Latitude would put us exactly... in..." " Oregon." " Oregon." "See?" "I still got it." "Ooh!" "We got to get him to a hospital." "Road's this way." "Don't see a hospital, though." " He's bleeding real bad." " Well, we better get a move on, then." "Hi." "Howdy." "Your friend does not look well." " You need a ride?" " I'm..." "I'm Colonel Eve Baird." "Uh, do you mind if we explain in the car?" "No need to talk." "I hate to pry into people's business." " What were you doing out here?" " Waiting." "I do that." "[Engine turns over]" "Hang in there, Flynn." "How far to the hospital?" "Hospital?" "Oh, no, no, no, no." "Why would we take him to a hospital?" "We're almost there." "Wait, wait, wait." "We need a hospital." "He's been stabbed." "He's bleeding out." "Hospital won't do him any good." "Wounds caused by Excalibur don't heal." "Magic." "Flynn:" "So..." "Wait a second." "How do you know about Excalibur?" "Please forgive the dust." "Hasn't been used in ages, of course." "And how do you know about magic?" "Aah!" "I know all about you, Flynn Carsen." "I don't understand." "What is this place?" " Who are you?" " Who am I?" "Jenkins, of course." "As far as this place..." "Well..." "[Snaps fingers]" "You're in The Library." "[Gasps]" "Jenkins:" "Aww." "Say, you wouldn't happen to have a cold beer, would you?" "Uh, no, a... as this is The Library and not a rodeo or a hobo camp or wherever it is people like you gather in crowds." " Mnh-mnh." "Don't... don't... don't..." "don't move too much." " Ow!" "What are you stuffing that with?" "Duct tape?" " Glue?" " Y... yes, actually." " The bleeding won't stop." " No, it won't stop." "It's a magical wound from Excalibur." "[Sighs]" "Oh!" "God!" "What..." "Oh!" "Don't touch anything!" "I think you broke Africa." "This is my workplace, not Judson's, and I'm doing very important research." "We're in The Library?" "[Groans]" "Aah!" "Judson!" "Charlene?" " Where's The Library?" " No, no, no, this is the same room." "Hey, I swear this is the same room." "Yes." "Of course it is." "The main Library can only ever be anchored to one specific place in the world." "What if the Librarian needed to gain access to The Library's knowledge but was far from the front door?" "This is an interface." "Judson ran The Library while you were out here in an annex." "Yes." "Separate but connected." "Oh." "Name a book, something you know is only in the main Library." "Isaac Newton's "Principia Mathematica,"" "the unedited version." "Section "F," row 9, shelf AA2." "Right behind the little shifty-looking fellow." "[Magical tinkling]" ""The Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy as Derived by the Wondrous Thinking Machines of Atlantis"?" "Like I said, the unedited version." "Jenkins:" "I am afraid, as Judson has cut the connection of The Library to the physical world, this room is all we have." "Access to information but no way in or out of the main Library." "Ugh, typical Judson." "So rash." "Hey, watch your tone when you speak about Judson." "Well, Judson and I never agreed on anything." "I mean, I realize that The Library is best used for research, not for gallivanting about, fighting monsters, seducing princesses." "I'm guessing, with that attitude, that's why you're probably stuck out here in the annex, huh?" "Not at the home office?" "Very happy here." "It's quiet." "I can focus on my work, not bothered by..." "The greatest collection of magic in the world." "I should have seen it coming." "Cassandra." "They had leverage on her." "Should have seen it." "I should have seen all of it." "Why didn't Judson warn me?" "Maybe Judson trusted you to figure it out on your own." "How could I not see that they were killing Librarians?" "People are dead because I just wasn't good enough." " You're opening your wound." " It doesn't matter." "It's a magical wound." "It won't ever heal." "I'm going to die." "Tell them." "[Sighs]" "Tell me what?" "I can pump him full of fluids, but if he keeps bleeding... 24 hours." "He's dead in 24 hours." "Yeah, um..." "Isn't he supposed to be in charge?" "Yeah, this is not good." "Cassandra!" "So glad you managed to avoid the insane suicide plan of the Librarians." "Do you know if the others got out?" "Ezekiel and Stone?" "[Chuckles]" "Well, I dearly hope so." "You see the lengths the Librarians will go to to hide the gift of magic from the world?" "Destroy anything, anyone, to keep their secrets." "If you can cure me..." "When the key is joined to the lock... and magic is returned to the world... we can absolutely cure you." "You have to share it." "You have to help all of the people that science can't save." "Cassandra, that's why you're here... to help us bring magic back to the world and help those who cannot be helped by other means." "We're going to change the world." "Now..." "You best get some rest, hmm?" "[Door closes]" "Why'd you stop me?" "New rug." "And even with Excalibur, there are bound to be impediments accessing the lock." "Having a Librarian... even half a Librarian... may prove useful." "But mostly the rug." "I need Flynn to pull it together." "I..." "I'm too new to this world." "Well, then you need to go and pull him together." "You're his guardian." "That means more than merely keeping him alive." "It means keeping him in one piece, both mentally and physically." "[Scoffs]" "Didn't do a great job of that." "So he got stabbed." "Librarians get stabbed and shot and bitten and cursed all the time." "He's gonna die." "Soon." "We're all gonna die soon if you don't get in there." "Now, look, guardian, if he fell into a river, you would reach in and pull him out..." "Yes?" "Before he could drown." "Judson was everything to Flynn, as was Charlene, who, quite frankly, I always liked better." "To lose them both?" "Right now, he is drowning." "Right now." "Go save him." "Flynn?" ""Higher dimensional quantum translocation theory."" "By Albert Einstein." "Original edition." "I think" "I think I figured out a way back to The Library." "Is that really where we should be going?" "Yeah." "We... we've got tools there." "We've got artifacts." "We've got resources that we're gonna need if we're gonna fight the Serpent Brotherhood." "In the few days we've known each other," "I haven't seen you use any tools or magical equipment or... or artifacts..." "Just your brain." "That's why Judson chose you, right?" "[Page rustles]" "Your brain is a weapon and a tool and a library all wrapped up into one." "Judson chose you because in the end, you don't need anything." "Yeah, but Charlene could still be alive." "Ju..." "Judson could still... the right thing to do is to find The Library." "If that were the right thing to do, Flynn Carsen, you'd be doing it, not reading about it." "No." "No." "This is your way of hiding." "I bet" "I bet that's what you were like before all this." "You hid in books." "That's the life from which Judson pulled you." "That's what you were." "Judson and Charlene... they made you what you are." "Oh." "I'm gonna be dead tomorrow." "So, how would they want you to spend your last day?" "They'd want me to save the world one more time." "So, tell me, Librarian, how are you gonna do that?" "You... are... key!" "[Laughs]" "I am "henge" and "key."" "She said "key"!" "She called Excalibur a key." "She didn't say "sword." She didn't say "weapon."" "She said "key." And think about it." "You're the Serpent Brotherhood." "If you want to bring magic back into the world, how are you gonna do that with just one sword?" "Excalibur's pretty powerful." "Stone:" "It's still just a sword." "I mean, Excalibur against a tank, an F-15?" " I'm betting on the military." " That's right." "It's not an end goal." "It's a key." "Now, what does a key do, Jones?" " Goes in a lock." " That's right." "And we all remember the legend." "Excalibur was locked in once before." "It had to be pulled free." "You must be feeling better." "You're not making any sense." "The stone." "Uh, the legend is..." "Arthur pulled Excalibur from the stone." "After it had been charged with magic." "And where is that stone, Stone?" "Stone:" "If Arthur was Roman, it'd be at the biggest empire settlement in Britain," "Londinium..." "modern London." "Ha!" "Look." "There's a big Ley Line running right underneath it." "Come on." "Let's go get that stone." "Whoa." "Us too?" "Well, they've got the most powerful weapon in the world." "Judson's gone." "Charlene's gone." "The Library's gone." "I'm bleeding to death." "So, yeah, working alone doesn't seem like the best idea right now." "Good." "You're leaving." "I can get back to my work." "Jenkins, book us tickets to London." "I'd do it myself, but..." "[Straining] I'm dying." "Hey." "Excuse me." "You didn't turn off the glowing globe." "You got..." "[Sighs]" "Hope it's on a timer." "Flynn:" "There's a magical stone out there somewhere." "Got about 12 hours before I'm dead, and the end of the world will probably come before that." " Full day ahead." " How do we find the stone?" "What we need is a compass." "The stone that Excalibur was pulled from is almost pure magic." "It should attract any other magic item in the city." "Let's just take another magic artifact, rig it into the compass." "[Snaps fingers] Piece of cake." "It is a piece of cake, because I know just the artifact." "Man:" "This way, please." "Step this way." "Now, the imperial state crown was made in 1937..." "The Crown Jewels?" "We are not..." "[Breathes deeply]" "We are not stealing the crown jewels of the British monarchy." "Of course not." "We're stealing that one." "The star of Marrakesh." "John Dee used it to save the life of Elizabeth I from magical assassination." "Actually, really funny story..." "So, we're not stealing the crown jewels." "We're stealing the priceless artifact from right next to the crown jewels." "Oh, not "we."" "Now I know why The Library chose you." "Vibration detectors on the glass." "Got a pressure plate... can't tell when the weight changes." "It's actually not too difficult." "Please don't let this be something too unsavory." "No, not at all." "We just need to steal a wheelchair." "I can't believe I'm doing this." "Really?" "All you do is push people around." "Oh!" "Oh!" "I'm so sorry!" "[Alarm buzzing]" " That's the third time this week." " That was an accident." " Are you okay?" " I keep telling you to slow down." "It's not a race." "Not a race." "Baird:" "Sorry." "[Buzzing continues]" "Seriously?" "You're gonna put your gum on a stone worth 7 million Euros?" "Omni arcanum directio." "Omni arcanum directio." "That's pretty..." "[Straining]" "[Alarm ringing]" " Baird:" "Where to?" " Follow the gem." "Aah!" "Lost them." "We got about five minutes before the police show up." "[Straining] Then we can find it in three." "And then?" "Then we have to keep them from putting Excalibur back in the stone." "Why would they want to put Excalibur back into the stone?" "Dulaque:" "It would be like a jump start." "Cassandra:" "Like jumpstarting a car?" "Exactly." "Excalibur is one of the few great items of magic remaining." "It contains unbelievable power." "Power that was siphoned from the Ley Lines of magic centuries ago, and now those ley lines are dormant." "But if we were to suddenly shock them by returning Excalibur's power back to the Earth, it would begin a chain reaction." "The energy would build on itself." "Magic would spread back out through the Ley Lines and magic would return to the entire world." "This was a river, you know." "The Tyburn." "I remember when it ran above ground." "Through meadows." "Dulaque:" "We found the chamber holding the stone by using sonar." "Decided coming in from the side was the best bet." "Required drilling and air recycling, but still better than coming in from the top." "There are magical traps at the proper entrance, plus the human security." "Human security?" "You didn't think the location of the stone was a complete secret, did you?" "The royal family's been hiding it for centuries." "Stone:" "Is that..." " That's Buckingham Palace." " Ezekiel:" "Good news." "There's a charity event on tonight." " I bet I could forge us some invites." " We just robbed the tower of London, and now you want us to break in to Buckingham Palace?" "Well, it is more fraud than it is breaking and entering." "Listen, can you make me a duke?" " Sure." " [Sighs]" "What's next?" "The Vatican?" "The Taj Mahal?" "The White House?" "She'll be back." "Maybe." "[Classical music playing]" "[Indistinct conversations]" " You okay, cowboy?" " My first suit." " I'm rocking it." " Where is Baird?" "She's not gonna get in without an invitation." " Good evening." " Welcome, sir." "Good evening." "And these are your invitations?" "Could you wait here?" "And please don't try to leave." "You know what I'm thinking?" "That your forgeries are crap?" "No." "I'm thinking I can run faster than you 'cause you've been stabbed." "Stone:" "Oh, here we go." "[Clears throat]" "Baird:" "They're with me." "Orders from the director of counterterrorism." "Stay sharp." "Man:" "All right, gentlemen." "Welcome." "[Classical music playing, indistinct conversations]" "The royal family must have created access to get to the stone." "Look for a secret passageway, something out of the ordinary." "Undercover, Librarian." "Can't hold you up all night." "How about the next five minutes?" "All right, look for anything out of place." "We got to find the secret passage." "Well, if we find it, it's not so secret, then, is it?" "Profoundly influenced by the landscape artist Robert Bevans, who originated this style." "Notice the subtle use of the color purple in the upper right hand corner." "Hey, hi." "Pardon me." "Did you imply that Turner was influenced by Bevans" " rather than Robert Wilson?" " I did not imply." "I mean, Wilson was a bit of an influence." "Surely, you've read Turner's correspondence with John Ruskin?" "The pre-eminent art critic of the 1800s?" "He was part of an unbroken line of influence From Wilson through Turner" " Champagne, sir?" " Hey, how are you?" " I'm well, sir." " Thank you." "Actually, can I get a beer?" "Hello, gorgeous." "This is nice." "Yes, it is." "We can completely move around the room and check for secret passages without seeming suspicious." "Exactly that." "Do you think Stone and Ezekiel are, uh" "Not doing what they're supposed to be doing?" "Probably not." "We've dropped them into a completely ridiculous situation with absolutely no training." "It's what happened to me." "They don't train the Librarian?" "Well, how'd you do on your first mission?" "[Laughs] I got completely distracted, nearly died about 9 times." "And would have if it hadn't been for my-- guardian." "For what it's worth, I'm glad you didn't die." "I found out there's magic in the world." "I owe you that." "We should schedule a dance some time when you're not slowly bleeding to death." "Let's save the world first." "You ever get used to saving the world?" "[Chuckles]" "I don't even bother to put it on my to-do list anymore." "Mr. Dulaque, we cannot thank you enough for your donation." "Ambassador, I've always said if you want to change the world, you can't wait around for other people to do it for you." "We're running out of time." "[Grunts]" "Get me through that wall." "[Grunts]" "[Coughs]" "[Grunts]" "Bring in the lights and the air hoses." "[Men shouting]" "[Cassandra gasps]" "The stone of King Arthur." "I want everything in here now!" "[Indistinct shouting]" " Cut through this." " Man:" "Right, ma'am." "Aah!" "Right." "New plan." "[Indistinct shouting]" "What is this?" "It's high Enochian." "[Magical tinkling]" "It's a mathematical language based on ancient Greek and Hebrew." "And you can crack it?" "Given time." "Take all the time you need." "The crown, ma'am." "[Whirring]" "They're running standard counter-terrorism along the perimeter and soft threat assessment on the inside." "Which mean's their attention's on the vips and the interior guards are guarding the doorways and the corridors, which begs one question." "Why is that guard standing at the wall?" "That coat of arms belonged to John Sheffield, Duke of Normandy." "Original architect of Buckingham House." " Secret door." " Secret door." "I think I might be fading a little faster than I thought." "Certainly you can't argue that Joseph Turner simply changed styles." "I'm not arguing with you, I'm telling you." "From the Plates of Lugares to The Iron, you can see the reflections" "Stone, got to go." "And so, that's pretty much exactly why" "Really?" "You, uh, dropped these." "[Gasps]" " How very" " And these." "[Chamber music plays]" "[Beeping]" "Alarm in sector 4." "Please respond." "Buckingham Palace." "I was really expecting a better secret door." "I'll write a letter." "Let's go." "You ain't looking so hot." "No matter what happens, get the crown." "If you drop, we'll leave you and move on." "Wait..." "Why would you go there?" "That's a horrible thing to say." "[Clicks, rumbling]" "[Whirring]" "Nice work, little Librarian." "Palaces have dungeons, right?" " Find a cell." "Stick her in it." " Yes, ma'am." "You said you were gonna help people." "We are." "We're bringing magic back to the world... the whole world, all at once." "Technology ends, magic returns, and we control it." "Man:" "Come on." "Move." "Return to us, oh, ancient world of wonders." "Return and be ours!" "[Door creaks]" "Stone:" "It's the old section." "George III's time." "Uh-oh." "[People gasping, murmuring]" "Welcome back." "The sword's rejoined the stone." "[Groans]" "Magic's coming back." "That's a magic wound." "Hello, Dolly!" "A 1911 Château d'Yquem." "Stole one of these once." "Worth about $100,000." "Not a chance of this staying in a wine cellar." "I don't care whose wine cellar it is." "Hang on." "We're not alone." " They tunneled in from..." " Shh!" "They tunneled in from the side." "That's much smarter than what we did." "Lamia:" "We have worked long and hard to achieve what stands before us today, brothers..." "The goal of returning magic to the world." "It is but moments away." "Okay, we got trained killers." "One of them's got a crown that... that's allowing her to control the most deadly weapon on Earth." "Ideas, ideas, ideas, ideas." "Cassandra:" "I have some ideas." "Hey, kid." "Uh, no, thanks." "You already sold us out once." "Flynn:" "She had her reasons." "Let's get her out of there." "Wait a minute." "Oh, no, no." "No, no, no, no." "You all ganged up on me and said, let's do this together." "So let's do this together." "Get her out of there." "Come on." " Okay, what's the big idea?" " Okay." "Come here." "Come on." "Okay, so, that's the drill that they cool with ice-water pipes." "That's the air recycler." "And then the electrical wires for the generator, and then..." "I got you." "Metal pipes." "Very good plan." "Distraction, then action." "This is gonna work, but it's gonna take all of us." "Stone, your knowledge of mechanics." "You need to reroute that ice-water coolant into the warm air recycler." "That's gonna give us our cover." "[Coolant powers up]" " Librarians." "Find them!" " Yes, ma'am." "Come on." "Ezekiel, your hacking." "You got to rewire that generator panel and give me alternating current, very strong, when I yell for it at the frequency Cassandra gives you." "6-7-1-4." "Eve, you got to keep them distracted while I get to Lamia." "Aah!" "I hear you, Librarian." "Give me the crown." " And stop this." " Stop this?" "Ow!" " Man:" "Hey, what are you doing?" "!" " Stone:" "Watch out!" "Magic is returning to the world." "It's flowing out through the Ley Lines, creeping back into every corner of this planet." "Magic you control, whose power I can't let you have." "[Groaning]" "[Laughs]" "And how are you going to stop us?" "Hmm?" "With your little knock-off Librarians?" "One doomed by her gift, one who fled his gift, one who abuses it?" "Or your little soldier girl?" "No." "I'm the Librarian." "[Grunting]" "Librarians win with knowledge." "Librarians win with science." "Librarians win with electromagnets!" "'Cal, come!" "[Grunts loudly]" "What's happening?" "Most of the magic's gone back into the Earth." "He's dying." "[Straining] I think we both are." "[Groans]" "Listen." "The power that's left is almost all raw magic." "It can help you." "It can save you." " Flynn." " It's okay." "Judson's gone." "Charlene's gone." "Excalibur's dying." "It's time." "[Voice breaking] Flynn." "Just touch it to your head." "[Sniffles]" "[Sobs]" "[Sobbing]" "[Shudders]" " Oh." " [Gasps]" "No." "No." "It was supposed to be for you." "You already have saved me." "[Excalibur whining faintly]" "It's okay." "It's okay, old friend." "[Whining continues]" "Once again, magic is defeated by wisdom," "Proving that there is nothing, there is no situation that can't be solved by thinking." "Get your hands up!" " So..." " I'm thinking." "Colonel..." "Colonel Baird?" "Hawkins?" "No, no." " Sorry to interrupt your thinking." " No, no, that's okay." "Go ahead." "Gentlemen, funny story." "Your airline tickets." "That's mighty generous of you." "Ah, well, not really." "All the miles a Librarian racks up every year, you can trade those in for a seat on a flight to the secret moon colony." "Hmm." "Oh, you don't know-- well, uh..." "Ha." "So, that's it?" "For you, yup." "But we have transferred some rather generous" " Not too generous." " Stipends into your accounts and arranged for your travel home." "Thank you very much." "I don't think it's fair or safe to involve you in this life any longer." "A life that would have been ours had luck broken just a little differently." "Mm..." "Maybe not." " So back to our lives." " Yep." "Knowing that magic is real," " knowing the world..." " Cassandra:" "Is so big." "The world is so big." "I mean, what if we can't just..." "Move on?" "Well..." " Jenkins." " Yes." "You've also all signed non-disclosure forms so as not to tell anyone of the events which occurred, the existence of The Library, the Librarian, of magic and secret conspiracies and... well, anything." "Or else?" "Please, tell people about the magic library and Excalibur and how you broke into Buckingham Palace because King Arthur is really Roman." "I'll come visit you, make sure the straight-jacket's not too tight." "Flynn:" "What about temporal resonance?" "We could get a crystal skull," " and I know where to..." " Sir, sir, I..." "I..." "I've tried everything." "Now, the... the card catalog is still anchored to this reality." "It can still access the records of The Library... books, manuscripts." "But The Library itself and all of its artifacts are cut loose from this world." "The..." "The Library is adrift in... time and space." "The Library, sir, is lost." "Hello, Flynn." "[Laughs]" "Judson." "Is The Library..." "Intact?" "Certainly." "And Charlene?" "She's with The Library." "She's tougher than she looks, you know." " And you?" " I'm, uh..." "My... my time is done." " You're ready to move on." " No." "You're ready." "You know, Judson, I never, um..." "I never had a father." "And I never had a son." "Well..." "Now we're both liars." "I'm gonna find The Library." "I'm the Librarian." "Nothing's impossible." "The Serpent Brotherhood failed, but they released an enormous amount of magic into the world." "Things are going to get a little... little mad out there." "You're in charge now." "And-And-And you're not going to have time to-to search for The Library." "No." "Not if I try to do it alone." "Flynn..." "I'll..." "I'll always be..." "Baird:" "Flynn?" "I'm the Librarian." "I'm in charge." "Oh." "Okay." "So it's time I started making up some new rules." "New plan." "Although I suspect it's the old plan." "I'm just figuring it out." " Open your envelopes." " Our airline tickets?" "[Majestic music plays]" "[Zapping]" " Go ahead." " I left mine back at" "Look again." "Just as I suspected." "We have a lot of work to do." "I think that this will be a perfect base of operations!" "We'll have access to the archives, if not the artifacts." "And Jenkins here will teach you how to research and supervise your training as Librarians." "What are you talking about?" "We do not train Librarians." "Yes, and isn't that stupid?" "We take a highly intelligent, but totally unsuspecting, individual, drop them in a world of magic, and then expect them not to die before they learn where the toilet is." " That is how it's always been done." " Now that I'm Librarian, we're not doing it that way anymore." "Meet..." "The Librarianettes." "No." "Meet the Librarians in training, the L.I.T.s, my little lits." " Yes." " But... but they're not qualified." "Then we'll qualify them." "I'll still handle the big stuff." "They'll handle all the, you know, slightly less-apocalyptic stuff." "And this will free me up to find The Library and bring it back." "That is impossible." "Oh, impossible!" "Pipsy-posh!" "Pipsy-posh, Jenkins!" "People keep saying that as if we don't eat the impossible for breakfast every day." "I'm offering you a life of mystery..." "And misery... of loneliness... and adventure." "More than that, I'm offering you an opportunity to make a difference..." "And save the world every week." "Twice before Friday." "Are you in?" "Even her?" " Yeah." " She sacrificed her own life to save Flynn's." "I trust her." "I'll give it a shot." "If we're helping people, sure." "It will provide an opportunity to steal new things." "I'm in." "Hey, it's your library now." "At least this little part of it." "And don't worry..." "I'll be back to check on you in a few weeks." "Try not to die." "Oh, joy." "We'll need to find them a guardian." "Stone's the only one who can handle himself in a bar fight, and I don't think you'll find too many magical artifacts in dive bars." "I've already found their guardian." "Flynn, no." "With Judson gone, who can you trust?" "Well, that's just it." "With Judson gone and The Library gone, if anything were to happen to me, they're the future." "I haven't met anybody that I trust in the last five years." "I trust you... to protect them." "But I thought you needed a guardian." "The Library chose you to be a guardian." "I think The Library chose you to be..." "Their guardian." "And Lord knows they're gonna need protecting." "Way more than I need..." "More than I want... to be traveling the world with you." "Librarian and guardian." "The job's more important than what we want." "Oh, don't say that." "That's the old way." "But, for now, we have to work separately." "Come back alive, Librarian." "I... come back..." "Yeah." "I... will come back and I'll talk..." "um..." "[Shudders]" "Sorry." "I'm just..." "I'll call you." "No, I'll text you." "Well, you text me, and we'll text each other." "It'll be... one of those thi..." "Okay, so, yeah." "Okay." "Jenkins:" "Now, um, I know that Flynn is technically the Librarian" " and that I technically work for The Library... - [Sighs] vis-à-vis, et cetera, et cetera, the Librarian." " But I don't..." " Really have a choice." "These three will be using this as a base of operations, and I'll be supervising their security." "So... make yourself useful or make yourself gone." " You're bluffing." " Ooh." " She doesn't bluff." " Not so much threats as promises." "Yeah, she can and will kick your ass." "I suppose there's always the clippings book." "What's a clippings book?" "Oh, child of the annoying digital age, it is how we used to gather information about news stories." "Each page has clippings from different sources, detailing a bizarre mystery." "Well, we really don't need a book full of old newspaper articles." "Oh, silly Midwestern person, this clippings book is the Library's clippings book." "Every night, there is a new page, new information about a new mystery happening that very day." "Come." "Let's begin." "Oh-ho!" "Oh.This is fascinating." "[Dramatic music plays]" "We will never solve this one." "[Chuckles]"
