All language subtitles for The Librarians The Next Chapter s02e09 Toy Phone

Who was there?

Okay,

we are leaving now.

No, come back!

They just left. On my way over now.

You can't leave me.

It's time to play.

Ready or not, here I come.

You realize you're going on an
overnight, not a week-long vacation,

right? You know, I think you're just
jealous you're not coming. I'm not

jealous.

I'm just annoyed, all right? There's a
difference.

Did you pack a 2K-sized research lab or
something?

We're going into the sacred depths of
the library.

This is the perfect opportunity to
conduct experiments. No, no, no. We

talked about this.

You're going for the customary library
initiation.

There'll be no time for experiments.

Yeah, well, at least my bag is filled
with things that are useful.

Water bottle, compass, sleeping bag.

Sprite repeller. What? Sprite what?

Why are you two acting like you've never
been to the library before?

We just saw the tip of the iceberg last
time. This is different. The library is

vast. Infinite.

Intimidating. Every librarian goes
through this.

It is required that you have a deep and
thorough knowledge of the contents of

the library. But... But?

I should be going with you. You're all
my responsibility.

Guardians do not partake in the library
initiation.

It is exclusively for the librarian.

Or librarians, in this case.

Have you even packed?

I ventured to the inner sanctum of the
library to complete this compulsory

tedium centuries ago.

I hardly need to repeat the experience.

Hey, if I made the rules, I'd be going
with you.

Oh, I think Charlie's going to miss us.

I'm not going to miss you.

What am I going to do here all day by
myself?

What, twiddle my thumbs?

You go through the crate of artifacts
that we've been putting off. The toys

really creeped me out, so I've not done
it.

Precisely why I should remain here with
Charlie.

That is a dangerous-looking monkey.

Let's not look at them directly.

You're not getting out of it.

It's time.

Must I?

Yes. Fine. Don't forget, we are supposed
to leave our phones behind.

Oh. Oh.

Great. Can't even call you if I need to.
Rest assured, we shall be bored out of

our minds with all the endless wonder.

Out of our minds. That's the joke,
right?

Right? No. No, we'll be fine.

We'll be fine. We might learn something.
Will you help me with my bags?

You're so annoying.

Have a good day off.

Thank you, Connor.

Day off.

Guys, he's in my house.

I'm scared.

Please.

Was this a prank?

Did Vikram put you up to this?

Who was Vikram?

Uh-huh. Very funny, guys.

All right, you can come out now.

Miss, can you help me?

Please.

I'm scared.

How do I know you're not some demon
trapped in a phone?

I don't understand.

Everyone left me.

I'm all alone in the house.

Who is there?

My name is Yavin. Please help.

I'm so scared.

Come and get me. Scared of what?

It wants to catch me.

What does?

I hear it everywhere.

And lots of bright, scary light trying
to get me.

Please help.

I'm scared. I can't leave here.

Is there someone I can call?

I'm all alone.

I have no one else.

Please don't cry.

Okay. Okay. All right.

I'll help.

You protect me, you promise?

I promise.

Yvonne, what about your parents? Could
you call them on a real phone? Our

phones don't work.

Can you leave the house?

It won't let me.

Call me Charlie.

Charlie, will you come and protect me?

Can you tell me where you are?

My house. I'm in a part of town across
the scary forest.

Are you in Senyak?

Yes.

Are you coming?

I always keep my promises.

It's your lucky day because I'm not
scared of anything.

But I need you to do something for me,
okay?

Yeah.

Can you be brave for me?

Yvonne, do you know how to count to 100?

Yeah, sure.

Good.

Can you count to 100 out loud?

I, I, yes, oh, one.

Charlie? Stone?

What are you doing here? What are we
doing here? What are you doing here?

Who's we?

I... Sandra

Killian! Good to see you.

Did the library send you after me?

No, we had no idea you'd be here.

Clipping's book sent us.

The Clipping's book?

You don't have a Clipping's book?

Nope. Fascinating.

How does your annex assign your cases?

We have a pendulum.

A pendulum?

How does that work?

It points to where magic is on a map.

A magical map that changes depending on
where we need to go. Oh, like a synoptic

weather map. Only instead of weather
events, it alerts you to magic

occurrences.

Doesn't tell you what's happening? Guys,
can we focus?

Not exactly.

Well, how do you know what you're
looking for? Vikram and the others are

pretty good at spotting it. All right,
I'm going to be over here. And when you

guys get done doing what you're doing,
maybe we can do some librarian business.

Well, this time it comes with a side of
collaboration with our European-based

counterpart.

Sometimes the process is just as
important as the result.

Or has the library taught you nothing?

Okay. Thank you.

So, the clipping book.

showed us this.

A family in a house somewhere around
here has disappeared every 20 years for

the past century.

We're on our way to try to protect the
family, the current family.

Charlie, Charlie, are you there?

Yvonne, I'm here.

I finished counting to 100.

Sorry.

I thought you had left.

No, no, no. I'm not going anywhere,
okay? I just ran into some friends.

Is that a... A toy phone. Yeah.

It rang in the annex.

I answered it.

Do you have any idea what this artifact
does?

There's a little scared boy on the other
end.

I said I'd help him.

Could be a trap.

Could be luring his hen.

Cursed.

What's that?

Interdimensional radio.

That's a good thing you bumped into us,
huh, Charlie? We'll take the phone. You

can get back to the annex.

Oh, I'm not leaving.

He trusts me. Besides, the pendulum sent
me here.

Vikram and the others had already left
for the library initiation.

The initiation.

Remember our Stone?

We'd barely been working at the library
for a year. She almost fell into the

hands of the youth. Joan's had a magic
laugh, though. She doesn't have to know

stuff like that. I'm not embarrassed. I
just want to focus on the mission.

I think what Stone is trying to say is
that you're a guardian, not a librarian.

So, uh, we got it from here.

I don't see your guardian anywhere.

Cassie and I have been doing this a very
long time, so... I'm not going anywhere.

Okay?

So we'll team up.

It'll be fun.

Works for me.

I made you a promise.

I didn't break my promises.

Hey, Yvonne, can you come to the door
and let us in? I can't. It'll get me.

I'm too scared to come downstairs.

How are we going to figure out which
house is it?

Wait, wait, what did you say? You said
there'd been a disappearance every 20

years for the last century.

So we're looking for a house that's at
least 100 years old. In the 1920s, the

main materials used to build Serbian
houses were very simple. It was wood,

brick, stone.

So we're looking for a house that
incorporates the elements of

neoclassical, neo...

Renaissance, neo-romantic styles.

This one.

It doesn't look that different from any
of the others.

There's only one on the block with a
stone foundation.

The rest is concrete.

I find it best to just cut the things on
this type of thing.

Sure this is the right one?

Seems right.

By right, you mean very, very wrong.

All right.

Creepy phone.

Check.

Creepy house.

Check.

Now all we have to do is find the magic
causing all this creepy. Hey, we should

do a sweep on the house. Joban?

Joban, it's Charlie.

Joban, it's me.

Joban, you really came.

I told you I would, didn't I?

You're safe now.

Ah, yes.

Creepy attic bedroom.

And check.

Aren't you afraid?

It's still here. Can you feel it? I'm
not afraid of anything.

There's deviant optical variation here.

Something's messing with the laws of
physics.

Something like that.

It's coming.

I love a game of tag.

I'm it.

Ready.

Set.

Run.

Nope. Don't love that.

Not at all.

Go, go.

Light could be an electrical energy
emission.

Go, go, go, go. That's like getting a
haunted house light. Nowhere to hide.

Nowhere to run.

I'm gonna catch you.

It's coming, and you can't stop it.

We need to find another exit.

What?

Something's trying to keep him here.

I've told you before.

Don't let me leave.

How are we going to get him out?

I think whatever this is, we made it
head on.

I promised I'd keep you safe, didn't I?

And I don't break my promises.

This could be a house demon. We may have
to do an exorcism. Maybe.

I don't want to rule out my
interdimensional theory, though, because

that light could indicate a wormhole of
some kind.

Yvonne,

what did you just say?

It's the bookie man.

Yvonne, there's no such thing as the
bookie man.

So this is bad. Very bad. Wait, you're
not telling me that the boogeyman... The

boogeyman is real. Very real.

Okay, well, I'm not scared of a kid's
monster bedtime story.

Oh, you should be.

Fear is a biological mechanism that
keeps us safe.

It's a survival instinct.

Ignoring it can be fatal.

You sound like Liza.

Hey, you two would be two peas in a pod.
Really? Yeah. That's so nice. Isn't that

nice? Can we focus here? Okay, okay,
sorry.

So there's a boogeyman.

All right, first off, we've got to
figure out what kind of boogeyman it is.

Sorry, what kind of boogeyman? We've
encountered several kinds of boogeyman

over the years. A lot of different
versions, a lot of different cultures.

Could be the sack man, snatches kids
away from their home. We might want to

consider the vojanoi. The vengeful soul
collector that drowns his victims.

Baba Yaga.

Okay, okay, I get it.

What boogeyman?

How do I figure out which one it is?
More importantly, how do we stop it?

We find it before it finds us.

We look for traces it's left throughout
the house.

Magic always leaves traces.

Look, you guys search.

I'll protect the kid.

No, don't go.

Hey.

I could be on the phone with you the
whole time.

My friend's gonna look after you.

Okay, we're all gonna keep you safe.

Okay?

So what exactly are we looking for?

Um, something that makes your spine
tingle or the hair on the back of your

neck stand up. It's probably a good
place to start.

Right.

You really loathe fear, huh?

I just don't find it useful.

If I'm afraid, I can't do my job.

Really?

It's just that I find fear is one of the
key things that allows me to be a

librarian effectively.

What do you mean?

I was told I was going to die when I was
15.

So I've had that fear hanging over my
head for a long, long time.

But one day I realized that that fear,
it made me sharper.

It made me more aware.

And if I hadn't faced my fear and
conquered it, I never would have become

a librarian.

I never would have helped all the people
that I've helped.

Try to stay back by the bed, my man.

Don't worry, buddy.

We're going to find out what this is.

Your parents will be home soon. They
won't be home soon.

I know you're scared. It's okay to be
scared. You don't understand.

You're a grown-up, just like Charlie.

She isn't scared of anything.

I'm going to tell you a secret, all
right?

You've all got a pinky promise you won't
tell anyone.

All right?

Promise.

I'm scared all the time. You are?

Yeah.

See, that's the biggest secret in the
world, is that the bravest people,

they're always scared.

Even Charlie?

Even Charlie.

See, grown-ups, they like to pretend
they're not scared, because it helps

them feel brave. But I think, I think
admitting you're scared, that's the

bravest thing you can do.

I have a theory.

What the... Where'd he go?

That's not normal, exactly as I
expected.

Help me move the couch.

Where'd he... Look.

Darkness is vanquished when light
behaves the way that physics tells us it

should.

That's not a shadow at all.

That's a boogeyman hole.

A what now?

No, this is good.

It means that we know what we're dealing
with.

This boogeyman, it feeds on fear of the
unknown.

It comes from the Middle English boogie
or bogey. It means a frightening

specter. And it lives in the shadows.

Can we track this?

Or figure out where it's going to next?
Yes.

The farther a light source is from an
object, the shorter the shadow should

be. So in theory, if we can figure out
how the light source in the hole is

moving relative to the object, then we
should be able to predict its next

position. English translation, please.

Sorry.

So a shadow is created when an opaque
object blocks light, creating an area of

darkness on the opposite side of it.
Still not English.

The fact that these shadows remain crisp
even after an object is gone violates

the inverse square law, meaning that the
light source is always either directly

behind or underneath an object.

What are you doing?

Um... Map.

Look, if we map the trajectory of the
shadows over the course of our presence

in the house, we can see there's an
increase in surface area to object, the

most recent of which being this couch.

So we're looking for an object that's
bigger than a couch and low to the

ground. A bed.

We're looking for a bed.

I'm really scared.

Keep your eyes on me. Come on.

Your gun. No, no, no.

Don't let him take me. No, no.

Let go.

No,

no, no. Gotta keep the portal open till
we come up with a plan.

That was terrifying.

It felt like the moment that I found out
about my brain grape.

The tumor.

It's the scariest moment of my life. I
know.

I felt it too.

When I was a kid, I got trapped in a
mine. I couldn't find my way out.

I was scared.

There are moments when we didn't know
what would come next.

It's a fear of the unknown.

Making us feel like helpless kids. Just
like you want.

Charlie. You hear me?

Wait, wait a minute. Wait a minute. We
gotta come up with a plan. We don't have

time to think of a plan.

I have to save him. Charlie, I need you
to stop thinking like a guardian and

think like a librarian for a second,
okay? You are no good to him if you get

captured, too.

He was on that phone when I left.

Set it down for a second.

The boogeyman must have hung it up.

That's how he was able to take him.

As long as he and I were connected on
that phone, he was safe.

But when the connection was severed,
that's when the boogeyman was able to

take him.

Grab things to tie to the end of this
cord. What are you doing? Jump rope,

cords, cables, anything to give me
length.

Hang on.

Calm down.

Wait a second. Wait a minute. I am
thinking like a librarian.

Like my librarian.

No, Charlie!

Don't miss in the closet downstairs.

Hopefully it's long enough.

Like you'll pick them.

Teaching them to leap without looking.

We used to be like that, too.

No, we didn't.

Fine, but we know better now.

Well, she's still learning.

We just need to keep her alive.

See? Isn't that her job?

I think right now Charlie needs a
guardian more than we do.

What are the odds that Charlie was alone
in the annex the exact moment that kid

called?

Zero.

The odds are zero.

I knew he would come.

I promised to keep you safe, didn't I?

We should leave while we still can.

Hey, I'm going to get you out of here,
okay?

What about everyone else? Aren't you
going to help them too?

Everyone else?

You have to help them.

Of course I will.

All right, we have to move fast before
the boogeyman gets back.

All right, follow this cord.

All right, my team's on the other end in
the real world. They'll help.

A stubborn, scruffy man and a cheerful
redhead.

Go, everyone, quick.

Quick, come on.

Hurry.

Oh, boy.

Go, go. What the? Back up, back up.
What?

Easy,

easy. Whoa, whoa, whoa, wait.

Wait. Look.

Look.

They're just as scared as Yovan was.

They're not working with the boogeyman.

They're his other victims.

That's it. Keep going, everyone.

This line connects us to the other side.

I knew I was right.

The boogeyman's realm is on another
plane of existence, but parallel to

ours. That's why there can be so many
people under there. What are you saying,

that under the bed is the equivalent of
a clown car?

Sure, you could put it that way if you
want.

Where's Charlie and Yvonne?

I've learned anything about Charlie.

She's going to make sure everyone else
gets out first.

You can't leave.

We were just about to play together.

Everyone, quick!

Keep going, everyone!

No, no, no, no, no!

Charlie!

No.

What do we do now?

How do we get out of here?

I don't know.

You are ruining my fun.

But now...

We can play a game.

Just the three of us.

The fun begins.

Come on, stay back.

Of course you can't fight me. You think
I am a

thing that lives in the darkness.

I am the thing in the darkness.

I am an idea.

I am the shadow of the wolves that chase
you through the forest.

I'm the black armored man who haunted
Rome.

I'm a scrape of an axe in the streets of
New Orleans.

I'm a hook hand dragging by the car
door.

But you, you are nothing but the lies
you are

telling yourself.

Pretending to be all grown up.

Pretending not to believe the boogeyman.

But you can't hide what gave birth to
me.

A little terrified child that's in all
of you.

And I can always find it.

I'm scared of you. Oh, yes, you are.

Go, go, go, go, go.

And it's intoxicating.

We should call her.

Oh, I don't think a phone call is going
to reopen a portal to a boogeyman

underground. Not with a cell phone, but
this mic.

What are you dialing? What number are
you dialing? How do you even know it's

the right number?

Seriously?

It's a magic toy phone.

Charlie. Charlie, are you there?

I'm scared.

It's okay.

It's okay to be scared. I can't be
scared.

I have to be the strong one.

I have to be the brave one.

Why is that, Charlie? Why do you have to
be the brave one?

Always had to be.

From my family.

From my squad. From my team.

And now to your fun.

I can't break my promise to him.

I can't lose him.

Listen to me. We're all scared of losing
people we care about.

It's okay.

Own your fear.

Being afraid is a part of who you are.

It's a part of who we all are.

But you know who you are.

Don't you, Charlie?

It's right.

Fear is just part of being human.

Oh.

Are you going to pretend you are big and
strong now?

Fear is just part of being human.

Fear is all of who you are.

You know what they say, boogeyman?

You are what you eat.

Who are you?

Tell me.

What do you fear most?

If you are the great unknown, what
banishes the unknown?

If you were the darkness, what's the
light that obliterates that?

What is the greatest source of
knowledge?

What protects this world from evil
sorcery?

And what has more power than you've ever
dreamed of having?

Sweet.

You want to know who I am, boogeyman?

I'm the Guardian.

Feast on that.

He's feasting his own fear.

He's devouring himself.

Let's go home, Yvonne.

Thank you, Charlie.

I always keep my promises.

What's happening to them?

Well, they can all move on now.

You saved them from being eternally
stuck in another realm.

These must have been the families that
disappeared from this house every 20

years.

That won't happen again, thanks to you.

Mom, Dad!

I told you she would free us.

What did he just say?

He said you freed him.

Look.

This was his phone all along.

It's a ghost.

Just like him.

I saved him.

He's not dead.

He's not in any of the pictures in the
house because he hasn't lived here for a

long time.

I couldn't put my finger on what was off
about this room, but you can see

everything's from a different decade.

This family disappeared decades ago.

Trapped with the boogeyman.

How come he called me?

Why was he here instead of down there? I
think his last living act was a call for

help from his toy phone.

It created a psychic connection that
kept him tethered to the real world.

That artifact has been in the library
for decades.

The library.

It knew you could help him.

It rang for you, Charlie.

So I failed.

You couldn't save him. No, that's not...
Don't... You see... Hey, hey.

You saved him, Charlie.

There are all different kinds of ways to
save people.

You helped him find his family.

They're together now.

At peace.

Because of you.

Bye, Charlie.

Bye, Yovan.

Let's detect magic like electromagnetic
waves.

Magic is true north.

I love that.

Wouldn't mind having one of those
clipping books around, too.

Yeah, well, each annex has its own form
of magic detection.

I guess whatever it deems best suitable
for each team.

Yeah, thank you.

For everything.

I couldn't have faced it all on my own.

You look out for your librarians, but
they're here to look out for you, too.

Don't forget that.

I won't.

That's what makes a team.

You know, just think, if I'd been chosen
to be a guardian earlier, we could have

been having these adventures together
all the time.

You're right where you're supposed to
be.

Hello. You're back.

Hey. I've never seen you so excited to
see us. Wow.

Well, it's good to see you too.

We're home.

Yes, you are.

Never make me go camping ever again. Oh
my God, don't listen to him. He just

hates sleeping in a bag.

Too used to the creature comfort of the
calf.

The library was incredible.

We saw the tree of knowledge. Mark of
the Covenant. What about you? Did you

enjoy having the annex all to yourself,
you lucky thing? Or were you bored

without us causing chaos?

Ah, so you weren't able to categorize
the creepy toy.

Well, I did put away one.

That toy phone.

Oh, yeah, that one gave me the
heebie-jeebies. The face?

Terrifying. Yeah, you have no idea.

But it sounds like you do.

Did you have an adventure without it?

Want to hear how I fought a boogeyman?

The boogeyman is real? You had me at
boogeyman. Okay, so it all started when

you guys left, and the toy phone just
kept ringing and ringing.
