[girl chuckles]

[music]

[boy crying]

YOUNG WOMAN: Shh. No. I already bought you a toy.

Shh. I don’t have any more money today.

Shh.

Now, now.

It can’t be that bad.

Not when you can buy an ice cream,

but with what money?

Why.

YOUNG WOMAN: Say thank you to the nice man.

-BOY: Thank you. -[chuckling]

[music]

I know the kiss of that steel.

Good morning to you,

Elaine of Astolat.

[music]

Door. Get to the door.

Aah. Come on, come on, come on.

[music]

[grunting]

CHARLIE: Almost there.

Whoa.

Nice throw. You’ve been practicing.

CONNOR: [as Lysa] I can tell.

I think I’m getting the hang of it,

switching to aikido whilst...

Whilst...

uh, Vikram.

[as Charlie] I’m Charlie.

[as Vikram] I’m Vikram.

[as Connor] I’m Connor but you look like Connor.

[as Lysa] I’m Lysa?

-[as Connor] Uh... -[as Charlie] Uh...

[as Charlie] I don’t want this.

I don’t wanna be in this body.

[as Vikram] Why not? It’s a very nice body.

[as Connor] Uh, Vik, I think that’s inappropriate

to say that Vik...

this is crazy.

[as Lysa] Okay. No. Hands, Connor, out.

Out, out, out here until we figure this out.

Ow. I bit my tongue

because it feels weird in my mouth

because it’s not my tongue.

Oh, God, this is not my tongue.

[as Charlie] Ah.

[all gagging]

[as Vikram] Right. Stop.

Let’s all take a deep breath and compose ourselves.

[as Charlie] Wow, sir, this vest is super tight.

Uh-uh. Waistcoat. Not vest. There’s a difference.

[as Charlie] Are you using it to hide your tummy?

[as Vikram] No, certainly not.

[as Connor] I have thought that.

-[as Lysa] We all have. -[as Vikram] Well,

wonder no more.

Whoa!

These boots, very tricky.

[as Charlie] Please, sir, don’t injure my body.

And use the hair tie to tie your hair.

[as Connor] Achoo. Achoo. Achoo.

[as Lysa] Yeah, the, uh, ancient magical library

has like a million allergens.

Enjoy that.

There’s an antihistamine in my... your pocket.

-[phone trilling] -[as Lysa] Huh.

There’s some sort of residual energy signature

that’s not usual.

-Mint? -[as Charlie] Mint?

-[as Lysa] Mint? -[as Connor] Oh, yeah.

I chew it when I go through the door.

Teleport makes me queasy.

[as Lysa] Huh. Delightful.

[as Charlie] But how did this happen?

[as Lysa] The Magic Door?

[as Vikram] I’ve never heard

of the Magic Door doing this.

-I’m open to all suggestions. -LYSA: [as Connor] I say

we go through the door and hope that it switches us back.

[as Charlie] Right. You three, Door, now.

[as Connor] Oh.

[music]

[as Lysa] And we’re still not in our original bodies.

I’m Lysa.

[as Connor] Oh. I’m Connor.

[as Vikram] Vikram Chamberlain.

[as Charlie] Charlie.

We switched again?

[as Vikram] Ah.

-Hello. -[cultist screaming]

[as Lysa] No, no, no, no.

[as Vikram] Hmm, still Vikram Chamberlain.

[as Connor] I’m Connor and this coat is musty.

[as Charlie] You don’t need to say your full name, sir.

Wait, I’m in the same body and you are,

but why not them?

[as Lysa] Well, I’m obviously Lysa.

Come on.

[as Connor] So cool!

[as Lysa] Okay. So if it’s a random switch

every time we go through the door...

[sniffs] Wow.

What conditioner do you use?

-[as Charlie] Oh, actually... -LYSA: [as Vikram] Ladies.

-Focus. -[as Lysa] Okay.

So there are 24 possible combinations

of our four minds and four bodies.

Or four of factorial,

four times three times two times one. Basic math.

[as Vikram] So 24 combinations according to Lysa’s maths.

[as Lysa] Not my math. Just math.

[as Vikram] Assuming that none of the four combinations

repeat themselves,

then that is 21 more trips through the Door?

[as Connor] Yeah, with evil cultists

on the other side.

[as Charlie] Who know we’re coming.

[as Vikram] Hmm. Let’s begin.

[Magic Door opens]

[electric zaps]

Elaine, I swear I’m clean.

I don’t use magic.

I have no agenda.

You don’t need to do this.

Oh, 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.

[Elaine grunts]

You imprisoned me

so that I wouldn’t tell Camelot about you.

I won’t make the same mistake again.

Ugh, my dear Elaine.

You 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.

That’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 at Camelot.

You do realize that coin trick

was just sleight of hand, don’t you?

[phone beeping]

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 are 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.

No. Elaine... [gasp]

[music]

CONNOR: [as Vikram] [chuckling] Farewell.

We’ll be in touch.

They turned out to be very friendly cultists indeed,

once we had a chat with them.

[electric zapping]

[as Charlie] Uh, that’s not good.

[as Vikram] Roll call, please.

I’m, of course, Vikram Chamberlain.

[as Charlie] Charlie.

Sir, this... how do you move in this jacket?

It’s so hot and heavy.

[as Connor] No wonder you always tie your hair up in a fight.

Oh, um, Connor.

[as Vikram] The three of us swapped,

then Lysa got her body back.

It appears I’m me again.

[as Charlie] No, no, five trips ago,

we’ve already done this combo. We’re repeating.

[as Connor] That means it’s not just 24 trips.

But if we’re repeating that means

we have to average out thousands of trips right, Lysa?

Yes. That seems correct.

[as Vikram] This is... ah!

Give me my coat.

I can’t think straight without it.

[as Connor] Come on, don’t get 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.

[as Charlie] Jacket and dog tags.

So if we can’t brute force this,

we gotta solve the mystery

and figure out why this is happening.

[as Connor] It all started when we brought the artifact

through the door.

[as Vikram] Which is now broken.

Lysa, do you think you can fix it

while we examine the bracelet?

[as Connor] Hey.

It’s a Gemini Bracelet.

The constellation is made up of twins.

Castor who is mortal and Pollux.

When they died, Pollux, the divine brother,

begged that Castor be allowed to visit Olympus.

So every night and day, they switch places.

CONNOR: [as Vikram] Teleportation like the door.

CHARLIE: [as Connor] Yeah.

[as Vikram] Is that why they’re interacting?

[as Charlie] But why the body swap?

They’re 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.

[as Connor] Of course. And there are two bracelets,

one for each twin.

[as Charlie] And because we only have one.

[as Connor] It’s like an open electronic circuit.

The Magic Door must have reactivated it,

causing it to switch randomly.

[as Vikram] Brilliantly done, Lysa.

Why don’t you, uh, scan it?

You know, with your telephone application.

[as Charlie] It’s called an app, sir.

Just call it an app.

[as Merlin] Ah. Here you go.

I’ll keep fixing this.

[as Vikram] No, thank you.

[phone trilling and beeping]

[as Connor] Yup. Magical energy.

Matching the energy Lysa detected earlier.

It’s mixed with the door.

[as Vikram] And look, this bracelet shows

only the Pollux side of the constellation.

[as Charlie] All I’m hearing, we need to find an artifact.

[as Vikram] There. Our trusty Pendulum is on the case.

It appears as though a matching magic signature

is at the Athens Museum of Antiquities.

Lysa.

-Lysa. -Huh?

[as Vikram] Were you able to fix the door?

Uh...

[zapping]

Yeah. I don’t know how long it will hold though.

[as Vikram] It is a risk we must take.

We need that bracelet.

Still Vikram Chamberlain here. Everyone else?

[as Charlie] Charlie.

We stopped switching.

[as Connor] Maybe it’s a good thing.

You know, maybe it means the magic is wearing off.

[as Vikram] Or we’re settling in.

[as Charlie] Stuck like this?

Nope. I can’t be stuck in this body forever.

[as Vikram] Again, what is wrong with my body?

It’s a great body. Strong. Handsome.

[as Charlie] Sir, I need the bathroom.

[as Vikram] We need to swap back immediately.

[as Charlie] I’m calling Mrs. A.

-[sparks] -[as Charlie] Ah.

-[phone trills and beeps] -Magic overload must have

wiped out the modern technology as we went through.

CHARLIE: [as Connor] 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.

[as Vikram] Fantastic. We have an in.

[as Charlie] He hasn’t told us the bad news yet.

[as Connor] The bad news is, uh,

she kind of maybe hates my guts.

[electric zapping]

[clears throat]

Guys, why’d you tie me up?

Oh, no. Nope.

Nope. Nope.

Not good.

Okay. Just like Charlie taught you.

Oh.

[loud thud]

Thanks, Charlie.

Oh.

Oh, no, you don’t.

No. Mrs. A, it’s me.

-It’s Lysa. -I don’t believe you.

[as Lysa] Oh. We got the Gemini Bracelet

from the secret monastery.

But when we came back, we were all in the wrong bodies.

So when we went back to try and fix it,

we switched again.

Then I woke up tied to a chair.

If you are really Lysa,

then tell me about the first time we met.

A gift shop.

You brought me to the cave where Anya’s portrait was.

Oh, it is you.

It’s me.

If you’re here, then Merlin is with the team.

[music]

[as Vikram] Right. One more time.

I am Vikram Chamberlain.

Lysa, clearly. Charlie, Connor.

[as Charlie] Unfortunately, yes.

So, Connor, we know who runs this museum?

CHARLIE: [as Connor] Not the whole

Athens Museum of Antiquities, uh,

she’s just in charge of this exhibit

on myths and astrology.

CONNOR: [as Vikram] And?

[as Connor] She hates my guts

for a really good reason.

[as Vikram] So we are on our own.

Well, the Pendulum sent us here for a purpose.

Lysa, are you all right?

[as Merlin] Yes.

It’s just strange being back in my body is all,

which this definitely is.

CHARLIE: [as Connor] These artifacts markings

are the same as on the bracelet.

A syllabic cuneiform with touches of Linear B,

predating the Mycenaean Collapse.

[as Vikram] Oh, so your hypothesis is that

other bracelet linked to the twin Castor is here.

Then you, Connor, and I should lead.

[as Merlin] 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.

[as Charlie] I agree with Lysa, sir.

I’ll take Connor, in my body.

Ugh.

Connor, what are we looking for exactly?

[as Connor] Any twin symbols.

Uh, night and day imagery.

Also horses.

It’s complicated.

Hey, did you think it was weird,

Lysa dragging Vik off like that?

[as Charlie] I’m talking to my own face

and trying not go to the bathroom

in my boss’s body.

So yeah, you can say today all’s been weird.

So this woman.

[as Connor] Her name is Simone.

I’m trying to concentrate.

[as Charlie] So Simone was important?

[as Connor] I can’t concentrate because of the pain.

This body is in a lot of pain, Charlie.

You feel like this all the time?

[as Charlie] Kind of goes with the whole lifetime

of soldiering thing.

[as Connor] You run on this knee?

[as Charlie] Yeah. Parachute jump under fire.

I landed wrong.

Rocket launchers threw me off.

[as Connor] It’s like there’s a spike

and metal jammed in my shoulder.

[as Charlie] That’s because there is a spike

and metal in your shoulder.

Cartel gun fight.

Hmm, round shattered.

Still got fragments in the bone.

[as Connor] My hands.

Ugh, they just ache.

[as Charlie] Martial arts training since I was a child.

Not to mention all the real fights over the years.

I’ve got my microfractures all through here.

[as Connor] 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.

[as Charlie] 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.

[as Connor] I’m just starting to realize

how much of our personalities

are determined by our physicality.

You should share this.

[as Charlie] But you won’t share about Simone?

[as Connor] Walked right into that one, didn’t I?

[as Charlie] Hmm.

[as Connor] Remember the rage demon?

I told you I didn’t just torch my own career chasing magic.

I, I hurt other people.

And Simone is 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 up on a mountain like Olympus,

so the Bracelet of Castor will be...

[as Charlie] Underground, like Hades.

[as Connor] Surrounded by death.

[as Merlin] Also horses.

The twins were worshipped by chariot racers.

[as Vikram] That’s great.

You’ve been studying up, Lysa.

[as Merlin] Just learning from you.

[as Vikram] Well, I’ve learned a few things myself.

Our current misadventure reinforces magic

is too wild for us to master.

[as Merlin] Or, Vikram, someone who has used magic

and learned that lesson the hard way,

should use magic.

I can never use magic.

I couldn’t be trusted.

[as Vikram] I think you’re one of the most trusted members

of our team.

[as Merlin] Oddly specific but no,

I don’t trust myself.

I always push too far,

pushed to the edges.

[as Vikram] Like your scientific research?

[as Merlin] Yes. Exactly.

But there’s 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?

[as Vikram] That is a very dangerous idea.

[as Merlin] 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?

-[as Vikram] Because of Merlin? -[as Merlin] 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?

[as Vikram] Unhand me, you scoundrels.

What do you have to say for yourself?

[as Vikram] Honestly, I don’t know.

Really?

Because I’ve been rehearsing this moment

in my head for years.

What’s with the accent?

[as Vikram] Ah, yes. I spent those two years,

three years, five to seven years abroad.

[as Connor] Uh, Connor, uh, this must be Dr. Simone Newman,

the woman that you always are talking about.

[as Vikram] Sure, sure.

[as Connor] Who you worked with in Chicago

and also dated.

[as Vikram] That sounds so cool.

It was cool,

until you ruined it.

[as Vikram] Oh.

[as Connor] Screwed up both your lives.

[as Vikram] That sounds less cool.

Less cool?

That’s how you described taking advantage of my trust

to gain access to university artifacts so you could hunt...

[as Vikram] Demons. Bigfoot?

Vampires. Of course. That makes sense.

I was fired, Connor.

Who are you?

[as Connor] Oh, um, I’m Charlie.

I work with Connor.

[as Vikram] Uh-hmm.

Well, he can speak for himself.

[as Vikram] 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.

[as Connor] 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.

-[as Connor] 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.

[as Connor] If we could just take a breath,

you know, um...

[as Charlie] Secure facility in Paris?

We won’t get anywhere near that.

[as Connor] Okay. So we have to find the bracelet today

with all the guards watching.

Man, that really didn’t go well with Simone.

She’s really still mad at you... me.

[as Vikram] 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. -Astolat!

One of you is not who you appear to be.

[as Vikram] Well, technically none of us are.

Yes, besides that.

[as Charlie] Wait. Is that Merlin?

[as Lysa] No. He is.

[music]

ELAINE: He has been lying to you the whole time.

That is Merlin.

That is Lysa.

[as Lysa] None of you realized it wasn’t me. Wow.

[as Charlie] My head hurts trying to figure out

who I’m talking to.

[as Vikram] Why would you lie to me?

I thought we were friends.

[as Merlin] 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.

[as Lysa] So you body swapped us to escape?

[as Merlin] No.

I was tied up and knocked out.

I woke up in this body free.

[as Connor] But you’re still here.

You didn’t run away.

[as Merlin] 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.

PA ANNOUNCER: The museum will be closing in 10 minutes.

Thank you for visiting.

[as Charlie] Connor’s ex told us the exhibit is packing up.

If we want that other bracelet, we need to go now.

[as Lysa] Connor’s ex is here? I gotta meet her.

[as Connor] No, you definitely do not.

Right. Well, I shall take him back to the annex.

[as Vikram] No. We need him.

We most certainly do not.

[as Vikram] As far as we know, everyone needs to be present

to switch bodies back, including Lysa and Merlin.

[as 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.

[as Lysa] To avoid more confusion, scarf.

[as Merlin] My coat.

[as Connor] All right. Quick.

I know where to hide.

[music]

[as Connor] I told you that would work.

Security guards are always creeped out

by the Sarcophagi rooms.

We don’t have much time before they circle back

and I cannot get Simone in trouble again.

We’ll keep watch.

[as Merlin] Will we?

You’re not slipping from my sight.

[as Merlin] Got it.

[as Connor] Okay. The second bracelet will be

in one of the sarcophagi.

But if I know Simone, all of them will be protected

by motion sensors and infrared.

I gotta go talk to her.

[as Charlie] And you think she’ll help?

[as Connor] Yeah. Uh, just asking a simple favor

from my ex who’s life I ruined

while wearing the face of a total stranger.

[as Merlin] I’m in the body of a 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.

[as Merlin] The Library Council turned you down, didn’t they?

Ah. That is what I thought.

They understand that I am a reformed wizard

merely seeking out a peaceful life.

You don’t know the meaning of the word peace.

I will never forget what you did to Camelot.

[as Merlin] May we not leave that piece

of our history in the past.

Never.

-[as Vikram] A-ha! -[as Lysa] Shh.

[as Vikram] Sorry. Come see what I found.

These etchings, one eyelid has stars

for the heavens of Olympus, the other has fire for Hades.

[as Lysa] Connor said the second bracelet

would be in a sarcophagus.

[as Vikram] Yes. Well, beyond the museum’s alarms,

this sarcophagus will undoubtedly be trapped.

If we open it incorrectly,

the magical backlash could blow up the entire museum.

[as Charlie] Sir, you sound way too excited

about the prospect.

[as Vikram] Hmm. Ah.

Everything we need to know is right here,

the story of Castor and Pollux.

When Castor’s life was threatened,

his twin brother, Pollux, was given a choice

by their father, Zeus,

return home and spend eternity

-on Mount Olympus... -[as Lysa] Shh.

[as Vikram] Or give up your immortality

to save your brother.

[as Charlie] Sounds like my dad.

[as Lysa] Yikes. Harsh.

[as Vikram] Pollux chose instead

to share his life with his brother,

granting the twins the ability to switch places

between Mount Olympus and the Underworld.

[as Lysa] Like the bracelets, one on the mountaintop,

-one underground. -[as Vikram] Precisely.

But in order to cross the realms between life and death,

Pollux and Castor had to pay Charon,

the ferryman who conveyed souls across the River Styx.

[as Charlie] Ancient societies would put coins,

obols, on the eyes of the dead

to pay for the journey to the afterlife.

[as Vikram] A-ha.

-[as Lysa] Shh. -[as Charlie] Shh.

[as Vikram] Sorry. Yes!

Look. Look. Look at the eyes.

Depressed, as if something should be inserted.

We need to pay Charon to open the sarcophagus.

[as Lysa] We’re in a museum.

There must be obols on display.

[as Vikram] Uh-hmm.

[knocks on door]

I’m sorry. The museum is closed.

[as Connor] 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.

[as Connor] No, wait. Just...

please just give me two minutes, okay,

and you’ll never have to see me again.

I mean, I’ll make sure Connor never bothers you again.

[phone beeps]

MUSEUM SECURITY: Museum security.

[as Connor] But I’ve gotten to know Connor

and the last thing he would ever wanna do

is hurt you.

How do I know he’s not just pulling a stunt

for his little videos?

[as Connor] 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?

What, like anti-terrorism or CIA?

[as Connor] You know how antiquities

smuggling funds terrorism and stuff?

It’s hard for me to trust him.

[as Connor] If he could go back and do it all over again,

he would do everything differently.

Then 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.

[as Connor] He never wanted to hurt you.

He loved you.

I know he did.

I think he thought you were better off without him.

And how 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.

[sighs] I could’ve reached out sooner.

But I was too bitter and then time passed

and it seemed too late.

[as Connor] I don’t think it’s ever too late

for that conversation.

[scoffs]

What does he need for this job?

[as Connor] We just need your keycard.

Uh, we’ll return it. I promise.

You don’t know how much this means to me... to Connor.

[as Vikram] Connor...

I mean, Charlie.

We’ve been looking for you and we found it.

I’m proud of you.

What does he need for this job?

[as Connor] We just need your keycard.

Uh, we’ll return it. I promise.

You don’t know how much this means to me... to Connor.

[as Vikram] Connor...

I mean, Charlie.

We’ve been looking for you and we found it.

I’m proud of you.

When all of this is over,

maybe we could talk?

Good luck.

[as Charlie] I’ve only found one obol.

If what Vikram said is true,

we need to find two, one for each eye.

[as Lysa] It appears to be primarily made of copper.

Anyone have any change?

[coins jingling]

[as Vikram] I look fantastic doing that.

[as Charlie] One US penny.

Don’t blow us up.

[as Vikram] Thank you.

[as Connor] Wait. The motion sensors are active.

Infrared detectors around the edges of the base.

[as Charlie] So what about disarming that trap?

[as Connor] Uh, how do we make it stop?

[as Vikram] I don’t know what we did wrong.

We did as the ancient Greeks would,

paid Charon to pass between this realm

and the next just as Castor and Pollux would’ve had to.

[as Lysa] No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Obols are made of copper.

US pennies are primarily made of zinc.

I don’t know why I didn’t realize this sooner.

Does anyone have, uh, a five-cent Euro

or a Australian dollar?

Ooh. I got it.

[flips coin]

[music]

[as Vikram] Told you we wouldn’t blow up the museum.

Never should’ve doubted.

What’s this about blowing up the museum?

[as Connor] The Bracelet of Castor reunited

with the Bracelet of Pollux.

[as Vikram] Time to prove yourself, Merlin.

Switch us back,

like you promised.

No funny business.

[as Merlin] Everyone stand in a circle.

Lysa, let’s put you here.

[as Lysa] Uh-hmm.

[as Merlin] Hmm.

I’m gonna connect the bracelets.

And once they separate, you will have swapped.

[as Lysa] I’m Lysa and this is not my body.

[as Connor] Connor. Me neither.

[as Charlie] I’m Charlie.

[as Vikram] I am Vikram...

oh, I hear it now.

Where’s Merlin?

I told you not to trust him.

You don’t know him like I know him.

[as Connor] Luckily, I know Simone.

She got this whole place ready to shut down.

He’s not going anywhere.

[alarm beeps]

[alarms blaring]

You clever boy.

[as Lysa] Uh, Charlie, how do you run in these...

Stop!

[as Charlie] Go. I’ll hold them off.

[as Lysa] Um, Charlie, are you sure?

[as Charlie] Yes, Lysa. Go.

Okay.

I normally get a little more vertical distance.

Dammit, Lysa.

[as Connor] Wait.

If the security gates are still active,

then 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 wants to cut you off.

[as Lysa] Wait. How do you know the layout of this museum?

[as Connor] I cased it out back in the day.

Don’t tell Simone, please.

[as Lysa] What?

[Vikram] No, I just...

never realized how dashing I look

when I’m in control like that.

[as Lysa] You have a crush on yourself?

[as Vikram] Guilty.

[as Lysa] Perfect.

[music]

Don’t use magic, don’t use magic.

Oh, dammit.

[metal clanking]

[as Connor] Oh, no, you don’t.

[as Vikram] I think he went this way.

-I’m Connor. -[as Connor] I’m Connor.

[as Lysa] Two Connors?

[as Vikram] Did he switch them?

What is your greatest regret?

BOTH: I betrayed someone I loved.

[as Connor] I meant Simone when I said that.

Merlin was in Lysa’s body when I said her name.

[as Lysa] Uh, what was the first thing I said to you?

[as Connor] Appropriate.

-"Who are you?" -Really?

That’s rather mundane.

[as Lysa] Wow, that is power.

Oh.

Ow.

Did you mess up my body?

[as Vikram] Ah. The constellations align.

That’s...

[sighs] 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.

Nope. I’m not.

VIKRAM: [laughs] Look.

[shutter closes]

You betrayed me.

No. I ran because of her.

Because I was afraid of what the Library might do.

But I meant what I said, Vikram.

You could be the new King Arthur.

You could be the king to save us all.

[music]

in any one

-of your bodies ever again. -[groans] No offense taken.

Uh, Mrs. A, 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 wanna 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.

I have to pursue him.

With respect, Mrs. Astolat,

but how has your pursuit,

your obsession,

not made everything worse?

[music]

Hey, Simone.

Connor.

I hoped we’d get to talk.

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 was angry at you for a long time.

And when I saw you yesterday,

all that anger came

-rushing back. -Hmm.

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 should’ve...

I should’ve apologized so much sooner.

SIMONE: It’s okay.

I think time did us both some good.

Yeah.

I forgive you, Connor.

Well...

[music]

How’d things go with Simone?

Um, uh,

we got the closure we needed.

And I got you to thank for that, actually.

Wearing your face kinda 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?

Uh, 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?

CHARLIE: It’s your armor, Sir.

It’s the only thing you have left from your old life.

You’re in a different kind of pain.

I’m sorry.

Well, I think I learned the most by inhabiting each of you.

Oh, yeah? Enlighten us.

Well, I always suspected that I looked, um,

impressive, hmm, and handsome.

But then, last night, I finally saw me in action.

And I was right.

-[scoffs] -I am absolutely brilliant.

Well... Oh, of course. Of course.

CHARLIE: What about you, Lysa?

You’re the only one of us in Merlin’s body.

It was strange.

It’s like I could feel this overwhelming need to find magic.

It’s like I couldn’t breathe without it.

CHARLIE: Well, 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 is fighting the temptation

to return to everything he once was.

Attempting to find a new way in a new world,

hmm, like I did.

So you believe him?

I believe he’s trying.

MERLIN: You could be the new King Arthur.
