i bought

you a toy i don't have any more money today now

now can't be that bad not when you can buy an ice cream but with what money say

thank you to the nice man thank you good

morning to you

elaine get

to the door

i can tell well i think i'm getting the hang of it switching to aikido

was was uh vikram i'm charlie i'm

vikram uh i'm connor but you look like connor how nice up

i don't want this i don't want to be in this body why not it's a very nice body

uh vik i think that's inappropriate to say to vik this

is crazy okay no hands connor out out out

here until we figure this out i'll bit my tongue because it fits weird in my

mouth because not my tongue oh god this is not my tongue right

stop let's all take a deep breath and compose ourselves

wow sir this mess is super tight base coat not best there's a difference are

you using it to hide your

tummy no certainly not i have thought that we all have well wonder no more

please sir don't injure my

body and use the hair tie to tie your hair oh yeah

the uh ancient magical library has like a million

allergens enjoy that there's an antihistamine in my your pocket some

sort of residual energy signature

it's not usual mint mint mint oh yeah i chew it when i go through the door

teleport makes me queasy

huh delightful but how did this happen the magic door we've never heard of the

magic door doing this i'm open to all suggestions i say we go through the door and hope that it

switches us back right you

three three door now oh and

we're still not in our original bodies i'm lisa oh i'm connor

vikram chamberlain charlie you switched again ah no

no no no still vikram

chamberlain i'm connor and

this code is musty you don't need to say a full name sir wait i'm in the same body and you are

why not them well i'm obviously eliza come on

cool so if it's a random switch every time we go through the door do

you use oh actually ladies focus okay so there are 24 possible combinations of

our four minds and four bodies uh four factorial four times three times two

times one basic math so 24 combinations

according to license maths not my math just assuming that none of the four

combinations repeat themselves

then that is 21 more trips through the door yeah with evil cultists on the

other side i know we're coming hmm let's begin lane

i swear i'm clean i don't use magic i have no agenda you don't need

to do this like hell i don't do you not remember what happened the last time we

met well let me refresh

your memory then you locked me up in a tower that was centuries ago you surely

can't still be angry

imprison me so that

i wouldn't tell camelot about you i won't make the same mistake again

oh my dear elaine you've got it all wrong i knew camelot was going to fall that

the knights would kill each other i didn't put you there to stop you i was

protecting you well let's just say i'm

returning the favor now i'm protecting you from yourself it's very kind but

completely unnecessary

as i said i'm magic free haven't touched a drop since i woke up and i don't

intend to magic isn't

what made you dangerous it was how you manipulated everyone around you that's

why i've been watching you waiting to bring you in i needed the team to be out

on a mission i won't have you whispering sweet lies into their ears like you

did in camelot you do realize that coin trick was just slight of

hand don't you see i've sworn off magic i've learned my lesson as i said to

your friends this is my second

chance you are up to something and i won't let you get away with it this time

so what you're going to keep me tied up in here forever no i'm going to let the

library's council decide what to do with you

meanwhile you're going to take a nap courtesy of the sand of the sandman

farewell we'll be in touch they turned out to be very friendly conscious indeed

once we had a chat with them

uh that's not good roll call please i'm of course vikram chamberlain charlie

sir this how'd you move in this jacket it's so hot and heavy oh why do you

always tie your hair up in bite oh um connor the three of us swaps then liza got her body back

huh it appears i'm me again no no

five trips ago we've already done this combo we're repeating that means it's

not just 24 trips but if

we're repeating that means we have to average out thousands of trips right liza

yes that that seems correct this is give me my coat i can't think straight without it my

body drunk no this is a

good idea you should all switch things so that i we can keep up with who's who

jacket uh dog tags

so if we can't brute force this we need to solve the mystery and

figure out why this is happening

it all started when we brought the artifact through the door which is now

broken liza do you think you can fix it while we examine the bracelet hey gemini

bracelet the constellation's made up of twins castor who is mortal and pollux

when they died pollux the divine brother begged that cast to be allowed to

visit olympus so every night and day they switch places teleportation like the

door yeah is that why they're interacting but why the body swap twins think about it

rather than teleport the physical bodies they switch minds instead it achieves

the same thing castor and pollux trade places but the physical bodies stay in

the same place of course there are two bracelets one for each twin because

we only have one it's like an open electronic circuit and the magic door must

have reactivated it causing it to switch randomly brilliantly done liza why don't you uh scan it

you know with your

telephone application it's called an app sir just call it an app ah here you go

i'll keep fixing this new thank you

yep magical energy matching the energy liza detected earlier

this makes me the door and look this bracelet shows only the pollux side of the

constellation all i'm hearing we need to find an artifact yeah

our trusty pendulum is on the case it

appears that we're matching magic signatures at the athens museum of

antiquities liza liza were you able to

fix the door uh whoa yeah i don't know how long i'll hold though

here's a risk we must take we need that bracelet still

voodoo chamberlain here everyone else charlie we stopped switching maybe it's a

good thing you know maybe it means the magic is wearing off always settling in stuck

like this nope i can't

be stuck in this body forever again what is wrong with my body it's a great

body what's wrong answer sir i need the bathroom i need to swap back

immediately i'm calling mrs a

ah the magic overload must have wiped out the modern technologies we went through

uh guys i have some good news and some bad news the good news is

if the twin bracelet is anywhere it's here i know the person who runs the

exhibit fantastic we have an in he hasn't told us the bad

news yet the bad news is uh she kind of maybe hates my guts

guys why'd you tie me up

nope nope nope not good uh just like charlie taught you

charlie

no it's his name it's me it's lisa i don't believe

you oh we got the gemini bracelet from the secret monastery but when we came

back we were all in the

wrong bodies so that we were back to try and fix it we switched again then

we'll clip that to a chair if you are really lisa then tell me about the first time we met

a gift shop you brought me to the cave around his portrait was it's

you if you're here then and merlin is with the team right

one more time i am vikram chamberlain lisa clearly charlie connor unfortunately

yes so connor you know who runs this museum not the whole athens museum of

antiquities uh she's just in charge of this exhibit on myths and astrology and

she hates my guts for

really good reason ah so we are on our own well the pendulum sent us here for a

purpose lisa

are you all right yes it's just strange being back in my body is all which this

definitely is

these artifacts markings are the same as on the bracelet they're a slobber cuneiform with

touches of linear b predating the mycenean collapse ah so your hypothesis is

that other bracelet linked to the twin caster is here then you connor and i

should lead i think vikram and i should split off

i'm a scientist am i not and charlie is the guardian and you two are the

experts in antiquities so i

think we would cover more ground if we split up i agree with lisa sir i'll take

connor and my body

connor what are we looking for exactly i need twin symbols uh nine day imagery

also horses it's complicated hey did you think it was weird lies a dragon pick

off like that i'm talking to my own

face and trying not to go to the bathroom in my boss's body so yeah you could

say today all's been weird so this woman named simone i'm trying to concentrate

so simone was important concentrate

because of the pain this body's in a lot of pain charlie we feel like this all

the time kind of goes

the whole lifetime of soldiering thing you run on this knee yeah parachute jump

under fire i landed wrong

the rocket launch just threw me off it's like there's a spike of metal jammed

in my shoulder that's because there is a spike of metal in your shoulder cartel gunfight round

shattered still got fragments in the bone my hands oh they just ache martial

arts training since i was a child not to mention all the real fights over the

years i've got micro fractures all through here i'm gonna be

honest i really respect you for this but i'm also kind of hurt you didn't share this with us

and with me we're friends my job is to protect my friends not have my friends

worry about me

also women who talk about pain are accused of exaggerating so if you get stuck in that body

keep that in mind i'm just starting to realize how much about personalities are

determined by our physicality you should share this but you won't share about

simone right into that one didn't i

remember the rage demon i told you i didn't just torch my own career chasing

magic i i heard other people and simone was one of them we went

our separate ways separate ways that's it when they died

pollux went to olympus castor to hades we recovered the bracelet of pollux high

upon a mountain like olympus so bracelet

of castor will be underground like hades surrounded by death

also horses the twins were worshipped by chariot racers that's correct you've

been studying up lisa just learning from you well i've learned a few things myself our current

misadventure reinforces

magic is too wild for us to master or bikram someone who has used magic and

learned that lesson the hard way should use magic i

could never use magic i couldn't be trusted i think you're one of the most

trusted members of our team i'll be specific but no i don't trust myself i

always push too far push at the edges like your scientific research

yes exactly still so much good that

magic could do could fix in a broken world what if instead of always reacting

we take the initiative

stop evil before it starts that is a very dangerous idea

that is why it takes someone with experience someone who's made mistakes

someone who's lost lost everything because of magic think about anya your son

remember the story of how camelot fell because of mud well uh that's one way to

look at it but another version is king arthur was flawed

he inherited the throne he pulled a sword from a stone and that was it no more

than a boy all that power that fast with no life experience what if

someone who has lived and lost and hurt and earned that

power what if they could become a new

better arthur hand me

scoundrel what do you

have to say for yourself honestly i don't know really

because i've been rehearsing this moment in my head for years what's with the

accent ah yes i spent those

two years three years five to seven years abroad uh connor

uh this must be dr smo newman the woman i you always are talking about sure

sure who you worked with in chicago and also dated

that sounds so cool it was cool until you ruined

it oh no screwed up both your lives that sounds less cool

less cool that's how you describe taking advantage of my trust to gain access

to university artifacts so

you could hunt demons bigfoot vampires of course that makes sense i was

fired connor who are you

oh um i'm charlie i work with connor hmm

well he can speak for himself honestly i cannot

look i don't know what you're up to but it took me years to leave that scandal

behind this is my first exhibit director job since then you have done an

amazing job i don't want the museum owners asking questions so i will not have

you ejected on the last day of the exhibit last day yes we pack up everything

goes back to a secure storage facility in paris tomorrow and i've installed lockdown alarms

everywhere so you even look at a display wrong this place seals up we could just

take a breath you know um cure

facility in paris we won't get anywhere near that okay so we have

to find the bracelet today with all the guards watching me and that really didn't go well with

simone she's really still mad at you me i may be a man out of time connor but

even i know that a righteously angry woman being told to take a breath by her

ex's attractive co -worker will not end well that's the last one of you is not

who you appear to be uh well technically none of us are yes besides

that wait is that merlin no he is he

has been lying to you the whole time that is merlin that is lisa

none of you realized it wasn't me wow my head hurts trying to figure out who i'm talking to

why would you lie to me thought we were friends because of her she kidnapped me

and tied me up she's not like you vikram she doesn't understand second chances

if she had her way i would be locked up forever so you body swapped us to

escape no i was tied up and knocked out i woke up in this body free but you're

still here you didn't run away i want my body back just as much as you all do

i wouldn't even be in this mess if elaine just let me live out my days in peace

you are a danger to society the museum will be closing in 10 minutes thank you for visiting

connor's ex told us the

exhibit is packing up if we want that other bracelet we need to go now connor's

ex is here i gotta meet

her no you definitely do not right well i shall take him back to the annex no

we need him we most certainly do not as far as we know everyone needs to be present to switch

bodies back including lisa

and merlin and i am the most knowledgeable on shape -shifting magic when i said

i would help i meant it fine but i'm staying to watch him to avoid more

confusion scarf my coat all

right quick i know where to hide beauty

gods are always creeped out by the scarper eyebrows

okay we don't have much time before they circle back and i cannot get someone

in trouble again we'll keep watch will we you're not slipping from my sight are

it okay the second bracelet will be in one of the scarf guy what if i know

simone all of them will be protected by motion sensors and infrared

i gotta go talk to her and you think she'll help yeah i just asking a simple

favor for my ex whose life i ruined while we're in the face of a total stranger

i'm in the body of the

little girl you could loosen your grip really elaine whether you

want it or not you need magic you're an addict

whatever you're up to here it's a means to an end the

library council turned you down didn't they they understand that

i am a reformed wizard merely seeking out a peaceful life you don't know the

meaning of the word peace will never forget what you did to camelot may we not

leave that piece of our history in the past never see

what i found these etchings one eyelid has stars for the heavens of

olympus the other has fire for hades kind of said the second bracelet would be

in a sarcophagus yes well

beyond the museum's alarms this sarcophagus will undoubtedly be booby trapped

if we open it incorrectly the magical backlash could blow up the entire museum

sure you sound way too excited about the prospect hmm now everything we need to

know is right here the story caster and pollux when caster's life was

threatened his twin brother pollux was given a choice by their father zeus

return home and spend eternity on mount olympus or give up your immortality to

save your brother sounds like my dad yikes

harsh pollux chose instead to share his life with his brother granting the

twins the ability to switch places between a mountain olympus and the

underworld like the bracelets one on the mountaintop one on the ground

precisely but in order to cross the realms between life and death pollux and

caster had to pay caron the ferryman who conveyed souls across the river sticks

ancient societies would put coins obols

on the eyes of the dead to pay for the journey to the afterlife aha sorry look

look at the eyes depressed as if something should be inserted we need to pay caron to open the

sarcophagus we're in a museum

there must be obols on display i'm

sorry the museum is closed i'm charlie uh we met earlier i'm a

colleague of connor's i uh he we need your help i don't know what story he sold

you but connor almost ruined my life i won't let him do that again i'm calling

security no wait just please just give me two

minutes okay and and you'll never have to see me again i mean i'll make sure

connor never bothers you again but i've

gotten to know connor and the last thing he would ever want to do is hurt you

how do i know he's not just pulling a stunt for his little videos i get it i mean before

he was self -involved but now he's working with a covert organization that uncovers and

protects antiques the safety of the world see

connor's working for the military well like anti -terrorism or cia

you know how antiquity smuggling funds terrorism and stuff it's hard

for me to trust him he could go back and do it all over again

he would do everything differently and why didn't he tell me that

no call no apology i mean you saw him out there he could barely look me in the eye

he never wanted to hurt you he loved you i

know he did i think he thought you were better off without him and now he's

given up everything and left everyone from his old life behind to do the job he

has now to protect people like you the people he cares about i

could have reached out sooner

but i was too bitter and then time passed and it seemed too late i don't think

it's ever too late for that conversation what does he need for this

job we just need your key card we'll return i promise you

don't know how much this means to me to connor connor

carly we've been looking for you uh we found it

proud of you when all of this is over maybe we could talk we've

only found one oval vikram says

is true we need to find two one for each eye it appears to be primarily made of

copper i don't have any change one

u.s penny don't blow us up

wait the motion sensors are active and fred detectors around the edges of the base now

vikram that looks like it's counting down counting down to what

exactly i don't think we want to find out so

what about disarming that trap uh how do we make it

stop i don't know what we did wrong we did as the ancient greeks would paid

carmen to pass between this realm and the next just as carceral products would

have had to no no no no no no no

bubble's a bit of copper u.s pennies are primarily made of zinc oh i didn't

realize this sooner does that not have a uh five cent euro or australian dollar oh i got it told

you we wouldn't blow up the museum never should have doubted what's this about blowing

up the museum the bracelet of castor reunited with the bracelet of pollux time

to prove yourself merlin switch us back like you promised no funny business

everyone stand in a circle nice let's put you here

i'm going to connect the bracelets and once they separate you will have swapped

lisa and this is not my body connor me neither i'm charlie i

am brick room chamber oh i hear it

now where's merlin i told you not to trust him you don't know him like i know

him luckily i know

simone she's got this whole place ready to shut down he's not going anywhere go

i'll hold them off um charlie are you sure yes lisa go i

don't really get a vertical distance

wait if the security gates are still active the merlin's only way out is the

back loading dock we'll go there mrs a you take the stairs to the roof in case

he tries to cut you off wait how do you know the layout of this museum i case

it out back in the day don't tell simone please what

no i just never realized how dashing i look when i'm in control like that you have a

crush on yourself

guilty perfect magic

don't use magic oh

my god did you switch them what is your greatest regret i betrayed someone

i love i meant simone when i said that merlin was in lice's body when i said her name

what was the first thing i said to you appropriate who are you really it's

rather mundane that is power

the consummation's alive that's i'm

in my body again what did you do with my hand oh my god i've been hit so many

times i'm just gonna lay down i'm just gonna lay down here oh my god okay okay no i'm

not well trade me

no i ran because of her because i was afraid of what the library might do

but i meant what i said vicarol you could be the new king arthur

no offense but i never want to be in any one of your bodies ever oh no offense taken

um everything all right the library believes merlin has changed but my eyes are

clear he has not i have to stop him whatever they say do you think maybe

perhaps you misjudged him he did go

back on his promise and he ran away because we forced him to you

kidnapped him and tied him to a chair yeah he ran because he didn't want to be

locked up forever i get that even if he was telling

the truth and he wants to live a magic free life he used magic again with those

bracelets he won't be able to stop himself using it the next time it will

consume him more and more until it destroys

everything we have to pursue him with respect mrs

astolat how has your pursuit your obsession not made everything worse honor

i hope we get stuck yeah yeah um i um

i wanted to bring this back to you and um

apologize your colleague told me all about your new super secret job i hope

everything went okay

yeah no um i meant i came to apologize for what happened all those years ago

charlie uh told me what you said and i need you to know i truly

never meant to hurt you like i like i did i'm so sorry you

know i

i was angry at you for a long time and when i saw you yesterday all the anger came rushing back

but talking to your friend helped i don't know why i guess it was easier to hear the truth from

someone else than it was to hear it from you i i should have i should have

apologized so much sooner

it's okay i think time did us both some good forgive

you connor how

things go with simone

we got the closure we needed and i i got you to thank for that actually wearing

your face kind of made me see things differently speaking of which do you guys

realize charlie's in constant pain it's not a

big deal no it is a big deal yeah i mean i was in what one fight i i do not know how you do this

well i'm not the only one in pain and now i get why vikram never wears

anything else but that old outfit is it because i have such great style it's

your armor sir it's the only thing you have left from

your old life a different kind of pain sorry well

i think i learned the most by inhabiting each of you

oh yeah enlighten us well i always suspected that i looked

impressive and handsome but then last night i

finally saw me in action and i was right i am absolutely brilliant

uh of course what about you liza you're the only one of us in merlin's body

strange it's like i

could feel this overwhelming need to find magic it's like i couldn't breathe without it

maybe mrs a is right sir what about you did he say anything to

you no nothing suspicious he's a man

out of time he's fighting the temptation to return to everything he once was

attempting to find a new way in a new world like i

did so you believe him i believe he's trying
