His Dark Materials (2019) s03e07 Episode Script

There is a great war coming.
All conscious beings are
engaged in a battle already.
And I would risk everything,
and every one,
to destroy Metatron.
Asriel, she's our daughter,
and she's in danger.
Do you know who they say she is?
All that matters is the child.
My child.
I need to go to the Land of
the Dead and put things right.
- I can't betray Roger.
- Just go.
We will use the lock
of your daughter's hair
to locate her and to destroy her.
Roger! We need to get out of here.
This isn't life after
death, this is a prison camp.
None of you should be here.
As soon as you
release these ghosts,
you must find your daemon, Will.
I guided her to Asriel's republic.
The mortal Lord Asriel
is harnessing technology
to challenge you.
It's time to send
these mortals a warning.
I stopped the bomb from detonating,
but angelic light struck
the intercision chamber
and triggered the release.
Metatron's answer to your war cry.
Lyra went to
the Land of the Dead,
but she walked in alive.
The witches' prophecy.
She is Eve, and she will defeat death.
Tell them stories!
She's extraordinary.
To free a soul from
the Land of the Dead
Metatron's purgatory is broken.
He will come at you
with everything he has.
Let's go, let's go, let's go!
Come on, let's go.
Go! That's right, come on.
Sir, the capacitors are ready.
Good. Have those
transported to the abyss.
Look out.
The Clouded Mountain draws closer.
The way forward now depends on Lyra.
If Eve survives the Fall once more,
all worlds will be liberated.
But if Metatron can
control the children,
or their daemons,
the future is his forever.
I have devoted my entire life to science
and the pursuit of truth.
I have sworn blind that prophecies
are merely stories concocted
to control the credulous.
And yet, here I stand,
unable to avoid the prophetic
truth in front of me.
The success of our entire rebellion
seemingly hinges upon the survival
of our daughter.
So, change of plan.
We don't have to win this fight.
We just have to keep
Metatron's forces away
from the girl and the boy long enough
for them to be reunited
with their daemons.
Escape to a safe world and Fall.
I will alert you when the
knife-bearer cuts through.
Spirit can sense the blade.
All civilians have taken shelter
in the bunker beneath the base.
Our human forces can be
stationed around the perimeter.
Kaisa has been searching
for the daemons.
When he finds them, I will go to them.
Good. You'll bring them back here?
Here? With the Clouded
Mountain above us?
I designed this building
to withstand angelic force.
How can you possibly know the
nature of Metatron's attack? I
Oh, I am prepared for him.
We could go through to that world.
It's sunny. It smells nice.
We can't.
You know, I have an idea.
We need to get to our daemons, right?
So if I cut to the Republic,
find them
You can go to that nice world
and I'll meet you there.
You want to leave me?
Not leave you, just let you go there.
You just said you wanted to do that.
We've come this far, and
you still don't understand.
We're in this together.
Quite clear you're
unconvinced by the plan.
Here.
I've placed capacitors inside the
abyss to harness the Dust flow.
It's a simple switch mechanism,
but when the detonator is released,
the energy coils collide
to create an energy surge.
It may be powerful enough
to destabilise the entire
Clouded Mountain.
I'm going to go there.
I'm going to make sure that
when his house comes down,
Metatron goes into that abyss.
And how exactly do you
intend on doing that, Asriel?
Sheer physical force.
They're envious of us up there, Marisa.
The angels.
Our flesh, our blood,
our short, vital lives.
They've none of it.
I have to believe that flesh
is stronger than spirit.
I don't think you can
be certain of that.
Do you know the only thing
I've ever been certain of?
That I was born to change the worlds.
And now it seems that that
destiny belongs to someone else.
I've given the girl nothing.
But at the very least,
I can buy her time.
You'd do that?
For her?
Not just her.
If I succeed in bringing
him to the abyss,
will you detonate the device?
Even if you get him to the abyss,
you do understand
it's not just death down there.
It's eternal oblivion.
Mm-hm.
Ask me whatever you wish.
We're doomed, aren't we?
For all Asriel's planning, we've no idea
what we're about to face.
Come on!
You see so much, and
yet you share so little.
Please.
Tell me how this ends.
You don't need me to.
You've already made up your mind.
Is my mind that easy to read?
Your love for Lyra is your
salvation and your downfall.
When you think of her, I can read you
as easily as a reflection
in still water.
You have an extraordinary power
to suppress the best of yourself.
When the time comes, use it.
Metatron is a seer.
A mortal who has not
confronted their own darkness
is as helpless as a child before him.
Well, then, Asriel is no match for him.
Right, so we are doomed.
Some of us will die today.
The Authority wants you
to be afraid of that.
And why not?
We are all of us here mortal.
Whether our lifespans
are three or 300 years,
our time down here in
the Earth is finite.
And so we cower.
We cower under the tyranny
of an authority
who calls himself Creator
Who tells us that hell awaits
those who disobey him.
And that paradise exists
only for those who obey.
This is a lie.
A lie that has prevented us from
living our lives to the utmost.
Today is our chance.
It is our chance to tell him
that our lives are
beautiful and precious,
and that we should be
allowed to experience
all they have to offer without
the fear of retribution.
Because if we don't fight until the end,
we will lose everything.
So, yes, today, some of you will die.
But thanks to my daughter
Thanks to Lyra
We need no longer fear that fate.
For from today, death
is no longer an ending,
but instead a journey back into life.
So from today, the Authority
has no power over us.
Today, life confronts death,
and our light shines
through the darkness.
Today, we will tell him
that our children shall
experience paradise,
but they will know it
down here, in the earth.
Today, we are free!
We are free! We are free!
We are free! We are free!
The Kingdom of Heaven is nigh.
Let's bring it down, shall we?
I'm glad I said we didn't
have to win this fight.
So there are advantages to
not being the chosen one.
Sure you're ready?
Yeah.
Can't be worse than the
Land of the Dead, can it?
Holding position.
They're here.
To the south, where the
mountains rise from the plateau.
Attack!
Now!
Commander, come in.
It's time. Go to the southern perimeter.
Copy that. We're headed
for the ridge. Let's go.
How are we going to
find Pan in all of this?
At least we're in the
same world as them.
Pan and your daemon will be
together, looking after each other.
Let's keep moving.
You are needed.
For Lyra?
Metatron is releasing
the daemon-eaters.
He is turning all creatures against us.
Hold your fire! They're everywhere!
On my command!
Fire now!
Come to me.
Come on.
I've found Pantalaimon.
Put down the knife!
You're Will. And you're Lyra.
Who are you?
I'm Commander Ogunwe, and
I'm here to protect you.
I'll take you to Asriel's camp.
- So I can cut us there.
- No!
Do not use that blade.
He'll do what he wants.
You see those angels up there?
Now that you're in this world,
they can sense when you use the blade.
They'll know you're separated
from your daemons, and
they will target them.
You need to keep moving.
It's not safe here.
Follow me.
You can trust me.
Quickly.
Pantalaimon.
You've been through so much pain.
But you must be reunited with Lyra.
You're in grave danger.
They left us.
I know.
But they've come back for you.
We have to hurry. Will you trust me?
Take your bird forms.
Did my father send you?
Shh!
Quiet.
Get back.
Do you trust him?
You shouldn't.
He uses people.
All I know is Asriel's proud of you.
No, he isn't.
I personally heard
him champion your name
in front of hundreds of his own troops.
I don't know why he'd do that.
Come on. We need to keep moving.
Stay close.
Duok man ja-ga apsaugoti demonus.
Pasla-pkite juos nuo angelo akia.
Duok man ja-ga apsaugoti demonus.
Pasla-pkite juos nuo angelo akia.
Duok man ja-ga apsaugoti demonus!
Pasla-pkite juos nuo angelo akia!
They're all around us.
They're getting close.
Go this way quickly.
Quickly!
Take your positions.
Lights!
Get down.
Cover the rear!
Run to the tower!
Now! I'll hold them back.
Run!
No! No!
Restock weapons and ammo now!
Brave soldier.
Join me.
Serve me.
There's no heaven for
heretics, just darkness.
I am your only hope of salvation.
I am your only hope of salvation.
Who are you? I said, who's there?!
Your maker.
Your destroyer.
Only the righteous
will escape damnation.
Heretics must be punished.
Strike down my enemies
and you will be forgiven.
Resist me and you'll be damned.
Heretics must be punished.
Your destroyer.
Destroyer.
I am your only hope of salvation.
Heretics
Show yourself to me.
You intrigue me.
You are
Unusual.
You control those Spectres
as if they're your playthings.
Join me.
You know what to do.
What the hell is she doing?
Stelmaria?
Stelmaria!
Marisa?
Great Regent,
I wish to be of service to you.
You wish to serve no-one but yourself.
You are a cesspit of moral filth.
Do not lie to me.
We only seek what we're denied.
Who were you before you had power?
Did you not crave it, too?
I was
A man.
Ruthless
But fallible.
Not unlike yourself.
They say spirit envies flesh.
Why would I envy weakness?
Flesh is vulnerable.
Its power is
Crude.
Flesh has its pleasures.
You do this very well, don't you?
No wonder the mortal men are convinced.
Why did you call to me?
Lie to me again, and I will
extinguish your life like a flame.
I was curious.
I wanted to meet you.
I'm here!
The arrogance of man.
Do you think you can
fight nature itself?
Why don't you come down
here and prove me wrong?
The unequalled Lord Asriel
Who wages war on the heavens
but dares not confront his own self.
Look at you.
All alone.
What is it that scares you so much?
I see!
It's resentment of your own daughter.
Maybe.
But I'm not afraid of you.
That is a lie.
Face yourself.
You're here because I chose you.
If I wished, you could
transcend your human form.
Never again diminish yourself,
or be shamed for your strength.
The multiverse would
be yours to command.
What are you offering me?
Immortality.
In the past,
a chosen few have become angels.
It's not happened for millennia.
Not since the Fall of man.
You thought of Eve. Interesting.
You're attempting to
conceal something from me.
I see an attachment.
A weakness.
Regret.
Shame.
Love.
Your daughter, Lyra.
Yes.
Yes. I do love Lyra.
I love her
And I hate that I do.
Do you have no words of supplication
for your Creator before your death?
You're not the Creator.
You're not even the Authority.
You're just hiding behind him
like you're hiding behind me now!
I am in all things.
What I am is far beyond
your comprehension.
No, it's not. You're an angel.
And before that, you
were a man named Enoch.
Either way, you're just a person.
How easily you bleed.
You thought you were going
to liberate the worlds.
But the sooner you
accept your own failure,
the sooner this can all be over.
Your Land of the Dead is no more.
You put me in the grave and
you just set my soul free.
You're going to have
to do more than kill me.
Oh, when I do
No-one will ever remember you.
I think we're getting closer.
I can feel Pan.
She makes me feel
Weak.
It's not who I am.
When she looks at me,
all I see is disdain.
I become needy and helpless.
I want that feeling gone.
Relinquish it.
- How?
- Let her go.
You are completely alone.
- No-one cares for you.
- Marisa does.
She's
She's here, isn't she?
Free yourself.
How do I do that? She
She's part of me.
Marisa!
Marisa!
I see inside your heart, Marisa,
you are capable of such betrayal.
Marisa? Marisa?!
Marisa!
Yes.
I am.
I am.
You care for her still.
If only you knew the disdain
in which she holds you.
She is giving you up.
No, never.
Never.
I love her.
I can give you Lyra.
She would never betray me.
I can give you Asriel.
He's trying to protect her.
I do not need you to give him to me.
I've already broken him.
Show me.
Look at him.
He knows he's beaten.
His end has come.
Wait.
I want him to see my face.
I want him to see what I've done.
Mar
Marisa, no
Stay here and hide.
It won't be long now.
I'll send Lyra and Will to you.
The Authority has ordered
the death of all heretics.
You are full of sin.
The Authority will punish you!
You're going to pray!
Heretics!
Down on your knees, all of you!
Pray to the Authority!
What's happening?
Those soldiers are attacking each other.
Serafina.
Your daemons are in the tower.
Cut them through to a safe world.
I'll find you wherever you are.
Go!
How does it feel, Lord Asriel?
Disowned by your child,
and now betrayed by the woman you love?
Pan!
Pan, we're coming!
So, you did come.
Will.
How could you bear it?
Leaving me behind?
Marisa, no
Ah
We should be together.
Please.
I'll cut us a window to somewhere safe.
Look, Asriel.
Look at your fate.
Ah!
The knife-bearer is in this world.
He's with your daughter.
Go, we'll find you!
For Lyra.
Cloud's gone.
It's all gone.
The war's over.
Asriel won?
I think so.
Do you feel that?
There's someone in there.
I'll try to cut them free.
Machi! Aria!
Can we go now? I want to see Pan.
