His Dark Materials (2019) s03e06 Episode Script

1
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 th
Tell me if my daughter survived.
Now.
She's
in darkness.
What does it say?
Lyra.
Lyra.
Lyra.
Lyra!
Dust readings are fluctuating.
No, 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'll 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.
Hmm.
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 am doing here
is of the utmost importance.
It is going to change everything.
How, Asriel? How? How
will this change anything?
- I 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 crime.
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 it.
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 stabilizing the area now.
Ruta.
It's Sergi, he's in pain.
He he can't hear me
- Stay with him.
- I can't stop him.
The darkness is drawing him in.
Oh, no.
You can fight this.
I can't.
I can't.
Yambe-Akka.
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 is 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.
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?
- Look at me.
- What if we're trapped here
- because I can't use the knife?
- Look at me, look at me,
look at me, look at
me, look at me, look.
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.
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.
Hold, 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
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. No, no, no, no, 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 is Metatron's doing.
His answer to our provocation.
We have his 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 will find it.
Mangy vermin.
We've seen worse.
Do you remember when we
freed the kids from Bolvanga?
And then, the three of
us and Iorek squashed
into Lee's balloon and just, flew away.
- Iorek's this armored 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.
No, I was keeping watch actually.
And then, suddenly out of nowhere,
these creatures were just all over us.
Lee's shooting them, Iorek's roaring.
Then you fell out.
Hey, did I ever tell
you about the crazy shaman
who made me a bacon sandwich?
Commander Ogunwe, where is the, um
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 interest.
You should do the same.
Well, I'm not like the two of you.
I'm here for something
other than my own interests.
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 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 could send a message
back maybe, spread the word.
- What's his name?
- John Parry.
John Parry?
John Parry.
Jopari.
The 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 Iorek
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 Iorek, 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 have 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 is 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 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? Hm?
The other witch would have done it.
- She wouldn't have hesitated.
- I am not Ruta.
And I will not do this.
Then 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 Magesterium teach the
Fall as 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.
- Lyra, 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?
The 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
This way!
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 Iorek Byrnison.
He told me so himself. It makes sense.
The Authority cows 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 panserbjørne cannot lie.
Marisa, she's alive.
Don't lie to me.
- Don't.
- She's alive.
And she's coming here when
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 witch's prophecy.
They believe two things about Lyra.
That she is Eve and
that she will defeat death.
That's what she's doing.
The prophecy is right.
We must help her, Asriel.
William, we've been waiting for you.
Someone who wants to see you.
William.
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 going to happen
if we make it out?
I don't know.
But we'll 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 just I'm
so tired and my chest is
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't 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, William.
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?
But 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,
and Lyra is going to free the dead,
she and Will would have
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 saved your best friend.
When you go back to Jordan
go to the roof for me.
- Okay.
- 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
- If you tell them stories
If you tell them stories
If you tell them stories
Lyra is 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.
Will 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.
