All language subtitles for The Magicians s05e11_English

- Previously
on "The Magicians"...

- The Couple has power.
And they are not good people.

- Give me the page.

If the finger's still viable,
I reattach.

- I'm Hyman Cooper.

I was a student here
in the 1920s--a traveler.

Someone moved my body.

- I stole this.

Stasis charm--
freezes the wearer in time.

- Holy shit.
Umber?

- You make for an excellent
focus group for my new world.

More of a pocket world, really.

- I will get out of here.

And then I'll turn you
into lobsters and eat you.

- Hey, what happened
to your eye?

- I lent it to Josh.

- Your own personal Margo-Pro.

- Josh didn't die.

He was in the Taker Realm and--
- That's not possible.

Somebody opened a door that
should not have been opened.

It could mean the end
of everything.

- I think I can't do
what I need to do

if I'm worried about
how it's gonna affect you.

I think we need to be done.

My pregnancy is going
to be sped up?

- It's Red Monkey Month.

Everything goes faster
in Red Monkey Month.

- Wait, so you're saying
that's a thing--

me being able to take on
what the baby can do?

- Maybe.

- Well, maybe
this baby's a traveler.

Yeah, uh...
we should probably talk.

- It seems like
I missed a lot here.

- It's actually super simple.

The Dark King,
aka Rupert Chatwin,

is trying to jailbreak his dead
lover out of hell or whatever,

so he needs to get rid
of the guard dogs first.

Hence, using you
as a human smallpox blanket

to kill the Takers.

- Yeah, I-I meant
more like, uh...

[groans]

Contraception wards are
supposed to be foolproof.

- Don't worry.
My uterus is on lock.

- Right, 'cause a werewolf baby
could be...

[chuckles]
Yikes.

But potentially very cute.

- Fucking adorable.

Some day.
Not now.

I'm not giving birth
to a goddamn litter, Josh.

Besides...

I thought we were done.

- You risked your sanity to
save me from the Taker Realm.

If that doesn't buy us
a clean slate, then...

- So can we skip
to the reunion banging?

- [chuckles]

- You're wearing three rubbers.
- At least.

♪

- Have you been to a doctor?

- I mean, they don't exactly
have ultrasounds in Fillory.

- Have you thought
about what this means for us?

- What do you want it to mean?

- We broke up for good reasons.
None of that has changed.

My dad wasn't around
for long.

My mom...

Look, I'm not doing that
to our kid.

I want to be there
for him--her?

- No clue yet.

I want you to be there, too.

- You guys.

Hello?

Anyone?

you're nice to me.

- [clicks tongue]

- What the shit is going on?

Welcome, High Kings.

A message left
by the great god Ember

to forewarn
of impending apocalypse.

- I've met this guy before.
- Mm-hmm.

- I have brought you here

because you are the living
Former High Kings of Fillory,

and your kingdom
rests on the knife's edge

of annihilation.

[eerie music]

♪

- [sighs]

You do realize
I have other things to do?

- Whatever.

I just had to pull Josh's pants
back on, so diagnose.

- They're asleep.

I mean, obviously,
they're cursed or whatever.

But beyond that, just wait
and see if they wake up.

- Should we just slap them?

- Believe me, I tried.

I'm gonna go see what we have
on narcolepsy spells.

- You were not pregnant
the last time I saw you,

like, at all.

- Oh, yeah.
Well, things happened fast.

- Everything looks fine
for now,

but I should do more scans.

It looks like
you have fast-forwarded

through the first
two trimesters.

You're ready to pop.

Accelerated pregnancies
can be dangerous.

And, uh, it's a hybrid.

Have you had any side effects?
Psychic episodes?

- Uh, yes, that I kind of
caused myself.

- Yeah, she had to
to get out of, well, a dungeon.

But none since.

- Um, actually, that's not
entirely true.

- Wait, what?

- A couple of aftershocks,
but it's really no big deal.

I've already put up
every mental ward I know.

- Okay.

There are treatments, but they
have to be applied regularly.

And the only place that it's
safe to cast right now is--

- The Brakebills Lab...

because the Moon is still
pissed at us.

Uh, look, I'll be there
the minute I can.

We're just dealing
with some stuff.

- Clearly.
Don't wait too long.

♪

- As you ought to remember,

I am activated by world war,
pandemic, revolt of dwarves--

- Or the mass rising
of the dead.

Yeah, we know.
We're already on it.

- Huzzah!

And I have summoned all of you

because the current ruler is
the nitwit causing the problem.

- The thing is he's
sort of unkillable.

- I rescind my huzzah.

In addition to being
just very creepy,

the dead drain life,

contaminating everything
they touch,

like a pickle on a sandwich.

- I like pickles.
- Behold!

A dead person wriggling
from their grave.

[growling goofily]

And this is every Fillorian
who has ever lived.

[all groan]

- You see?

The pickles of the dead
will ruin Fillory.

You must stop this,
whatever the cost.

- Well, the cost is blowing up
the entire planet, which is--

- A decent option?

- I was gonna say
counterproductive.

- Only if you care
about peasants, which I do not.

[knock at door]

- Do you want to get that, or--
- Oh, no.

That's just...

A mouse farted or something.

[knock at door]

A very gassy mouse.

- Umber.

- It is I,

an energetic emanation
of Umber, great god of--

- Piss off.
Nobody wants you here.

- I have heard
your lamentations

and am here to help.

I was designed to intervene
if my anarchist brother

tries something stupid,
like blowing up the planet.

- [hisses]

- Do you have
a better suggestion?

- I do,
sweet matron of Fillory.

After I faked my own death,

I fled to Earth
and built new worlds.

- Didn't finish any.
- Did too.

Mostly.

I intended to rescue my people
from this chaotic place,

so I also built an ark.

- Like a big-ass boat?
- A pocket world.

A temporary vessel

that pulls every living
Fillorian off the planet

so that I might deliver them
to a new, more perfect world.

- So you're saying we can use
the ark, rescue the people,

blow up Fillory,
and stop the Dark King?

- If anyone is gonna destroy
this putrid stank-hole,

it will be me.

- Oh!

[slaps landing]

- Oh, my gods!

- Guys...

- Then they just slapped
each other over and over

for hours.

- I think they forgot
we were there.

- Okay, I'm just having
a hard time with the part

where we save Fillory
by destroying it.

- Yeah.
It seems extreme.

- And what happens to magic?

I mean, the Wellspring is
on Fillory.

- Well, we don't know.

But our only other choice is

to let the dead spill
into our world.

Every world.

- The pocket world
is temporary.

So where do we put
all the Fillorians--Earth?

Have you seen how we treat
our own refugees?

- What about the World Seed?

From Q's page.

If we could find it, we could
use it to build a new world...

a new Fillory.

- That's insane...

in a good way.

- And a bad way.

I think The Couple
have the seed.

And the page they stole is
just an instruction manual.

It's useless on its own.

And they went to some pretty
extreme lengths to get it.

Upside is we have time.

And the Moon will keep them
from casting on it.

And it's in a dead language
I couldn't decipher.

I took pictures, but--

- Okay, well, if you work
on finding the seed,

I can work on the language.

- Sticking us with grabbing
the ark thingy from Umber's.

- Oh, Quentin and I went once.
It's in Vancouver.

who could help.

of you in Fillory.

He sent us here to get a thing.

blind in one eye,

came to a lonely shore.

The tigress looked upon
this raw world, and...

- And...what?

The master of the house
isn't available.

is broken.

He's just spouting
random nonsense.

- Oh, it's not random.
It's Fillorian scripture.

The birth of Ember and Umber.

You guys haven't heard
this story?

- What happens next?

- Well, the tigress--

she waded into the ocean
and drowned herself.

And as her body disappeared
beneath the waves,

two shells washed ashore.

And from those shells
came Ember

and then his shadow, Umber.

- Welcome.

they sell pre-sliced bread now?

That's the greatest invention
since--I don't even know what.

were they magicians?

- No.

Uh, Dad was a door-to-door
snake salesman.

- Snake oil?
- No.

And my mom worked
at a brothel.

You know, just mopping.

- Okay, did she, um...

Did she suffer
from any mental problems?

Psychic stuff
from being pregnant with you?

- Oh, no.
Nothing like that.

After the lobotomy, she mostly
just sat on the porch

and sucked at bits of hay.

Other than that,
she was the perfect mother.

- Okay, come on.

I-I need your help
with something.

Put the sandwich down!

- You want to find The Couple?

They're a myth like
the Boogeyman or Santa Claus.

- Ah, Santa is very real,
and so are The Couple.

We met one of them.

- The only other person
that I know

who believes they're real
is Marina.

- Well, the last time
we saw her,

we screwed her over,
moved the Moon,

stopped
the Harmonic Convergence,

which she was gonna use

for some heist-of-the-century
type of deal.

- Mm-hmm.

- Well, this might
surprise you...

[chuckles] But I made
some bad choices in the past.

And I needed to fix that,
so I went to a trance healer.

Um...

she put a block on all
the parts of my personality

that made aggressive,

but ultimately
self-destructive, choices.

- This feels like a scam.

- That's a weird scam.

I'm not asking you
for anything.

And you came to me.
Seems like you need something?

- We're looking for The Couple.

- Well, this has been great,

but I actually have
to get ready for church.

- But you know who they are.

- I know that going after them

is the very definition
of an "Old Marina" decision.

Look, I want to help you.
I do, really.

If it was anything else--

- But they have
something we need

to stop the end of everything.

- The World Seed.

The most valuable object in
the multiverse, people say...

which is why I wanted
to steal it...

until you stopped
the Harmonic Convergence.

- Wait, that was
your heist of the century?

- Wait.
So you could help us steal it.

- No.
No, no, no.

I-I don't do things
like that anymore.

Stealing from The Couple...
people will get hurt.

- They're hiding the seed
inside a hotel called The Nave.

They only let in Magicians.
Everything about it is secret.

It's the most secure place

- But you had a plan
to break in.

- I had partners.

We spent months
constructing a map

of every inch of that hotel

We called it our heist book.

Problem is,
things got really crazy,

Go away.

from the Library?

- He doesn't--

- I don't work for
the sodding library anymore.

- Yeah.
- What happened to you?

- She didn't tell you?

Marina hired me
and a few other poor bastards

to rob The Couple.

She didn't tell us that
the plan was suicidal

without
the Harmonic Convergence.

Marina sent us in anyway.

One guy was killed,
horribly, I might add.

I was lucky.
[chuckles]

But now I'm stuck here,
a bag of shattered bones,

can't travel,
with fucking Daryl over there

talking my fucking ear off
all day and night.

[whispering] And so help me
God, if you wake him up,

I will kill all
of your mothers.

- Marina beat you to that one.

- Then why are you
working with her?

- Marina, maybe
you should step outside.

- Mm.

- We're not fans of Marina
or The Couple,

but we need the World Seed.

So, if you could just give us
the heist book, we can--

- I would sooner shit my cast.

- Well, it looks like that's
gonna happen either way,

so why not help us?

- Because that would mean
helping Marina.

And if you think
I'm gonna do that,

then you have few 'roos loose
in the top paddock, love.

So either find a way to scratch
my ass or get the hell out.

- That's why you did the spell
to make yourself good.

Because you sent them
on a suicide mission.

- I thought maybe
they'd get lucky.

- Well, they really didn't.
- We need that heist book.

How did you convince Gavin
to help you in the first place?

- I had leverage.

- Well, then use it now.

- That would be
deeply unethical.

- [sighs]

- I think I'm gonna go
get him a smoothie.

- What?
- Ugh.

If he won't help us,
we're stuck.

We need the book.
We need Marina.

- Look, we understand.
You don't want to help us.

We can't make you, but we can
take down your wards.

- You're a traveler.

Without mental wards,
you'll hear people's thoughts,

all day, all night,
even while they're sleeping.

- If you do that
while the Moon is borked,

my head will be, too.

- I recently had
several fingers amputated

and reattached.

I'd be more concerned
about that if I were you.

I underestimated you,
Book Tart.

You're worse than Marina.

- No.

Just desperate.

Bugger you all to hell.
Stop.

- The heist book.

- I can't give it to you

went pear-shaped.

- Who is Anna?

a real problem.

and ice cream?

- You could smell that?

- I have a new superpower.
So what'd you get?

- Uh, well, I-I...

[chuckles] Didn't know what you
were craving, so everything.

Also...

- The Circumstances
Control Panel?

Did you steal that
from the Lab?

- Hyman helped.

We figured if The Couple
is gonna use the World Seed,

they need clean magic.

So, without this,
they are stuck.

Hence, hiding it here.

If it were going
to be here anyway,

I figured Lipson could come by,

do the treatments,
run some scans--

two birds.

- Right, but Lipson said
the baby was fine.

- She said she needed
to do more tests.

She said
it might be dangerous.

- And you said
you'd have my back,

and instead,
you're trapping me here?

She has to reapply the
treatments every couple hours.

- I'm just looking out
for you and the baby.

I mean, somebody has to.

- Oh, shit.

Sorry, I'll be quiet.
Go on.

to understand boundaries.

So do you.

it works like that.

You can't just summon him.
He's not our butler.

Oh! Hi.

- Greetings.
How may I assist you?

- We're looking
for a pocket world.

- The master of the house
is not available.

all: We know.

- And so all pocket worlds
have been removed

for security purposes.

- It's okay.
Umber sent us to get it.

He--he told us it'd be here.

- Which world did he send you
to retrieve?

- It's called The Ark.

- Very well.

If Umber sent you on this task,

you should be able
to identify the true ark.

But if you choose poorly...
- Ooh!

Uh, we age really fast,
and then we all turn to dust

just like
in "the Last Crusade."

- Indeed.

This security precaution is
inspired by my master's love

for "Indiana Jones
and the Last Crusade."

the consequences
of an incorrect choice

has been changed

Choose...

Are you here?

What are you doing?

What the hell, man?

- To be honest, I haven't
really enjoyed this episode

of my life.

What is so great
about having a body anyway?

Y-you're hungry
all the time.

Everything you do
makes you sore.

You're pooping constantly.

my experience,

for a century, man.

Give it a minute.

are happening to your friends,

you can't even watch.

You're pissed
because you can't listen in

on everyone's
personal conversations?

It's none of your business.
- But it is.

I put you two together.

I-I shipped you before
you even shipped yourselves.

Before, I was
a part of everything.

And now I am
a, uh, minor character

in my own story.

God.

I have been looking for you.

Yes, it's come to this.

left a sandwich of roast beef
in there,

get to market today--

Oh!
Oh, my heavens.

You have embraced
the blessing of your sex.

But surely you have misplaced
your wedding band?

You are widowed, then?
- No.

- Oh, you poor dear.
You are carrying a bastard.

Look, I thought you chose Todd
for this quest.

- I fear he is not the intrepid
hero I once thought him to be.

- You don't say.

- Which is why,
in my gravest hour of need,

I have come
to vouchsafe you a quest.

- Look, if this has
to do with Fillory--

- For my vision of Fillory's
demise has grown clearer.

I now see those who would bring
the apocalypse to Fillory

have visited many times before.

They enter from a distant realm
through a tree.

- Like a portal tree?
- Indeed.

These fiends plan to thieve
away every soul in the land

before they
destroy it outright.

- Huh.

How exactly do they do that?

- My vision is hazy,
but I do know

that they will turn back
the clock on Fillory,

resulting in ruin.

- Um...

do these fiends--do they--

do they succeed
in stealing the people

and building a new world
for them?

- That much I do
not know because--

[snorts]
Wait.

I made no mention
of a new world.

It is you.
- It's for Fillory's own good.

The dead will rise.

This is the only way
that we can save everyone.

What dark forces have
corrupted your fair mind?

- You have.

We wouldn't be on this quest

if you hadn't told me about it
in the first place.

for your own villainy?

Oh, the ways of the sow

are nastier
than I thought possible.

prayers to Umber and burn them.

It's just like
the people of Fillory

the rocks and the dirt?
