Original subtitles

I bid you good eve, fair mother.

If only you were still here to give me wise counsel.

I am to marry on the morrow.

To Lady Beatrice of Anjou.

But I fear I do not love her. Oh, she loved me.

I know my duty, but my heart is heavy.

I wish you could tell me what to do.

I know wishes are for fools, but my one true wish

is that my heart should be stone

until I find what makes it whole.

So I filled the damaged areas with putty and now I'm repainting it. Then I'll add

varnish for preservation.

This piece was set at a tournament in 15th century where a medieval knight

could display his skill and bravery and honor.

They were often held before noble weddings.

As you can see, the bride-to-be, Princess Beatrice of Anjou, offers her

hand to her groom, Sir Griffin de Beaufort. Who is this Sir Griffin?

Oh, he was a great knight.

But it seems he disappeared after the tournament and was never seen again.

Runaway groom?

I bet he ran away with his true love.

Well, actually, most marriages weren't love matches, so that would be uncommon.

Trust me, no knights in shining armor are coming to sweep you off your feet.

Okay, that is enough for today. In our next class, Emily will be restoring a

ceremonial dagger worn by King Henry VI.

Yes.

Thank you.

You're not posting that to any of the museum accounts, are you?

Um, yeah, that was just a practice run until you're made permanent.

If. If I am made permanent.

Well, either way, um, maybe you could add a bit more romance?

I mean, you are talking about knights.

I'm sharing the history of artifacts. I'm not telling fairy tales.

Yeah, but history is full of fantastical stories.

you know a little magic wouldn't hurt well no better to learn the truth now

than be disappointed later maybe you would think differently if you started

dating again come on i could help you write your dating profile if you'd like

i i don't think divorce museum nerds are a top pick on those apps you know what

doesn't disappoint pumpkin spice lattes yes thank you

Hmm, cinema makes everything better.

Well, your horoscope did say to keep your heart open for the opportunity of a

lifetime, so you're in for a good day.

Well, today is the opportunity of a lifetime, but how exactly do I keep my

heart open for a statue?

Wait, the statue?

It's coming today?

Yeah, no big deal. That's the main thing I'm here to restore. What if I don't do

the best restoration of my life? You will.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have hired you in the first place.

Whoa, my brother Steve just made senior partner at his law firm. That's great.

Congrats Steve Hey Oh,

oh this turned out great all thanks to you you drew this Wow,

Bye. Are you sure that was my horoscope you read and not yours?

This is so

lifelike. I can't believe he sat neglected for centuries in a garden.

This is astounding.

Other than being dirty, I...

i really don't see any obvious signs of decay he's got all his fingers there's

no chips on his feet his face seems good somewhere on his lips i get it i would

kiss that face he's gonna blow up on socials every woman's night and

shining marble i was thinking i want to do a

whole series of posts about the restoration

That's a great idea, Ivy. Yes.

Okay, Emily, I'll leave you to it. You definitely have your work cut out for

you.

Exciting.

Okay, get cozy.

This is the perfect before shot.

Okay, ready? Yeah.

Smile.

Cute.

Does he seem sad to you? I think more like... Longing?

Poor guy.

Well, he's definitely longing to be clean again.

See you later?

Sure. Bye.

There. Much better.

The wifey's right.

I wonder what you're longing for.

Cheer up.

You really are beautiful.

The craftsmanship.

i mean what is that

limestone maybe

i

shall not wake but

by the kiss

Well from the wear on your lips I can imagine there were a few women that

thought you were real I Wonder what the rest of the ribbon said

Well sadly those other kisses didn't work I guess you're gonna stay a

stone forever Goodnight sweet

prince

Milady. You talked?

Where am I?

Such a prison I have never seen.

Yeah.

Are thou real?

Or is this but a dream I see before me? No, no, no, wait, wait, wait, wait. Who,

who, who are you?

Forgive my rudeness, milady.

I am Sir Griffin de Beaufort.

Like the son of William de Beaufort? Indeed.

Thou know my father?

No. No, no, no, no. You're, you're, you're, you're a statue. You're not

real. You're... You're... You're... It's my lady in love.

This isn't real.

This... My lady, allow me to escort you to safety from this strange dungeon.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no. You can't go out there. No.

Wait. What is this place?

It's a pretty standard open plan office.

Listen, we gotta go back inside.

Good morning, sir.

And who is this?

He's, uh, uh, he's, um, he's a reenactor. Yeah, Ivy, Ivy wanted to do

a social media stunt for the exhibit, so I, I knew a guy.

That's fantastic.

Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Really good initiative.

Keep up the good work. Unhand this lady!

Rachel, challenge thee to a feat of arms. Okay.

That was so authentic.

Feet, arms, bed.

I'm just scared.

Strong actor.

Very strong. I love it. Scared me half to death, really.

Wow.

No, no, no, no, please. No fighting with my boss.

Hmm?

What the hell, my lady?

It's perfectly intact.

Okay? Just... Here.

Here.

Follow me. As you wish.

This is not Essex? No, no, we're in America. I do not miss America.

Oh, well, you would because you're from 70 years before Europe ever heard of us.

Surely thou, Jess.

This is not the year of our Lord, 1428.

No, it's the 21st century. Oh, this cannot be.

No, it cannot be.

Griffin, Griffin, it's going to be okay.

I know this is a lot, but we're going to get through it together, okay? Oh, look,

I got us a ride chair. Stand back.

What is this foul priest?

Not an enemy, not an enemy. It's transportation.

I'm a knight of the realm. I need my steed.

Please, good sir, I require your protection inside the carriage.

Cannot deny, Lady Equest.

So we're an actor. Cool, huh?

Yeah, okay.

Okay, this way.

Yeah, okay.

Okay.

I do not fit. Uh, okay.

There is no room.

Yes, it's your sword. Lady, I... It's your sword. We need to store it in the

cargo compartment.

Hey, can you pop the trunk?

Yeah, okay, great.

Thank you.

Okay.

The sword.

Thank you.

It is an instrument of hidden wonder.

Oh, uh, you should see an airplane.

I think this might work better.

I'm being crushed.

I know. It's fine. You're good. See? Better, right? Much better?

I thank thee, my lady.

Okay.

Okay. I'll help you.

Ready?

Yes.

You got it?

Got the one hound, my lady.

No. Yes. No.

No, no, thank you, thank you. Uh, are you okay?

Now that I am on solid ground, yes.

Well, car sickness is perfectly normal.

I have never ridden so fast a conveyance.

I was unprepared.

Come on, let's get you inside.

This is your castle.

Your family must be powerful indeed.

Oh, no, this is an apartment building.

I live in my own chambers.

Indeed, you are wealthy.

I have never seen so many books.

All my father has bought four, and he is an earl. Oh, no, I promise you, I'm not

wealthy at all.

What is that scent of flowers that they've been on?

Jasmine dreams air freshener? Oh, wait, wait, wait, let's... Let's get you out

of here, out of this armor, before you break something I can't afford to

replace. I would be obliged.

Might you send for a page to fetch my squire?

Oh, well, we're a little short on those, but I can help. I know my way around a

suit of armor.

It is unseemly for a lady to undress a knight.

I know not your name.

Oh, it's Emily Porter.

Hi. Hi.

No, I promise, I'm happy to help.

If thou may, would you stand with the buckles on the side? Right.

Right, because you're... You're Sir Griffin de Beaufort.

A knight of 50th century from 600 years ago.

Oh, wow. Milady.

Milady. Are they all getting afflicted?

I think I'm... I think I'm... I think I'm in a little shock.

I can't believe you're real.

It is a most miraculous thing.

I think you could use a shower, too.

Let me introduce you to the magic of indoor plumbing.

Plumbing?

Indoor rain.

As hot or cold as one likes.

I have an extraordinary desire to try it. You should.

Well, I... Hey, hey, I, uh...

I need to tell you something. Is this something about the social media stunt I

heard about?

Using a knight in shining armor?

Oh, you've heard about that?

The idea is brilliant.

I wish I had thought of it myself.

Well, you can take all the credit. I just need a favor.

Are you able to get any of your brother's clothes and shoes that I can

borrow for someone, um, knight-sized?

Ooh, so this knight is more than just a stunt?

Look, I am happy to help if this means you're trying something new. Oh, it's...

It's definitely new and very complicated.

Can you come over before work? And please don't say anything to anyone.

Got it. Okay.

Thank you.

Still not a dream.

Good morning.

Good morning, Lady Emily.

I trust you slept well. Do you two have a bed made of clouds?

Well, you can't beat memory foam.

Tis a gate to another realm.

From whence comes this infinite cold?

Electricity and freons, mostly.

Em, you are not going to believe this. The statue is missing.

Oh, hello.

Have we met before?

You look weirdly familiar.

I think not, milady.

Sir Griffin de Beauford.

At thy service.

Sir... Griffin?

Yes.

Emily, the statue's missing. Call me back ASAP.

Let me get this straight. You kissed a statue and it turned into a real boy?

I... Yes.

Basically.

Really?

Really.

Check this out.

Whoa.

Yep. Feels like real armor, all right.

Made from the finest metal mined from His Majesty's lands.

I mean, this is exactly what your horoscope said was going to happen.

A big opportunity is a little different than a statue of an English knight is

going to come to life.

The very statue that's now missing.

I am not missing.

I am here.

How can it be warm with no fire?

I'll call in sick. You can't.

You were the last person with the statue. You need to go in there and

pretend you have no idea what's going on. I genuinely don't. Of course you do.

You woke him up with a kiss. You don't know that for sure.

It's a solid theory.

Hey, Griffin.

Yes? What was the last thing you remember before yesterday?

It was the day of my wedding tourney.

The sun blazed high amid the turning leaves.

And all in Essex rejoiced.

For I won the joust.

I went to see my family's physician, John of Kent.

For something felt amiss, despite my success.

Ah, Sir Crispin. I hear you took a knock on the joust.

Show me.

Oh, it is nothing.

I have come, for there is a strange heaviness.

But to ease your mind, shall I ask the stars what is to come?

Yes.

Yes?

Ah.

I see.

Oh. What has thou seen?

Oh, um, nothing of note.

But pray heed this, Sir Griffin.

Stay indoors this eve.

And... Wish for nothing but a fine wedding on the morrow.

Only then will the shadow pass from your heart.

Now, I must bid thee good day, sir.

Thank thee.

I wish doctors read star charts today.

I was born in the wrong era.

Alas, I felt no ease at John of Kent's words.

Only one person could quell my fears.

My lady mother now lives amongst the stars.

I rode to the highest hilltop, and when she shone bright in the sky,

I wished for my heart to be stone until I found what would make my heart whole.

You wished upon a star?

Seriously? Yes.

Waking with a kiss?

Wishes on stars?

This all makes sense. Yes.

Yes, of course.

What sense is it?

It's a classic fairy tale.

Which are just stories, Ivy. Let me do Griffin's star chart. Maybe I can see

what John of Kent saw and prove yours was the kiss that mattered. I guess.

But since John of Kent was a physician, maybe there was some writings behind.

He did write a great many terms.

Okay, well, let's see if any survived.

I can't believe it. My contacts at the British Library listed a copy of John of

Kent's diary.

Shall we read it now?

Oh, it's not scanned in the archives.

I'll check to see if he can send it to us.

Hopefully he can get back to us soon. Hey, it says here you were born on the

summer solstice, 1392.

Do you remember what time of day it was?

My mother told me the sun's rays rose into her chambers.

She bore me into the world.

So, sunrise?

I'll ballpark 6 a.m.

Let's see what we get.

Huh.

Strange.

I've never seen a star chart like this before. So said John of Kent.

How do you have his celestial knowledge?

Oh, it's just the internet.

Oh, it's like the biggest library in the world. Might we venture there at once?

It's Jason.

There's an all-hands meeting at 9 a.m.

Well, we have to go.

What about him? Well, he can't come to the museum.

Obviously. Will you be okay staying here alone, Griffin?

I'm 6 and 30.

I can be left on my own.

Right.

Well, you did have a whole life before this moment.

Stay in here.

Don't go outside. I'll be back as soon as I can.

I'm gonna get so fired.

Emily. What? Why didn't you return my calls? I'm so sorry. Yeah, my ringer was

off. And, well, I got your text about the all-hands meeting, and I came right

in. What?

What's going on? Why is the police here?

I'll tell you at the meeting. Come on. Okay.

Nothing in French nor Latin.

Hmm.

What kind of library is this?

Permit me to come to thine aid, mistress.

Oh. Well, thank you, young man.

Such good manners are few and far between.

Tis but a trifle. Not to me.

Are you Emily's friend? Yes.

I'm Rick.

Do not let her parents find suitors.

Not in this day and age.

I would have played matchmaker, but after what happened with her husband, I

didn't want a medal.

Oh.

Lady Emily is married.

Not anymore.

Not for two years, is what she said.

Yes.

Oh, I have to get back to my cookies.

You sure you're okay with this? Do you have a destination in mind for your

bundle? The garbage?

You English use such funny words.

Yes, it is just straight out the front door and around the side of the

building. Thank you.

It is my honor.

Farewell.

Sorry to keep you waiting.

As I'm sure you all have heard, our newly arrived medieval statue is

missing.

So without it or a signature piece to replace it, our exhibit can't open.

We're taking great pains to keep this out of the media. We expect you all to

do the same.

Please, the museum's reputation won't survive a disaster like this, okay?

Yeah? Oh, hi.

This is Agent Garrett from the FBI.

He's from the Art Crimes Division.

And he's here to ask a bunch of questions to whoever's working on the

exhibit. So please just give him full cooperation.

Thank you, Jason. You're welcome. I want to speak to the last person who saw the

statue of Miss Emily Porter.

What are you doing here?

I'm just here to help.

Impartially. How exactly?

I'm your ex-wife. This is an obvious conflict of interest.

This is a huge case.

A giant marble statue disappears from a locked and alarmed museum.

I solved this.

And you'll be head of art crimes in D.C.

I knew it. Let me protect you.

You and I both know this isn't something you could pull off.

Well, I probably could.

I mean, if I wanted to.

I wouldn't, but I could.

You can tell me everything that happened since the statue arrived.

It came at midday.

I cleaned it all afternoon.

Then I spoke to Jason on my way out, and that's it. You didn't see anyone who

shouldn't be there, notice anything unusual?

You didn't get distracted again, did you?

What are you implying?

These are standard questions.

Well, then maybe I should have my lawyer present.

That's standard, isn't it?

Not if you want me to help you. Help me?

Or use me?

to get ahead at work again.

Are you okay?

What happened?

I saw a bit of a haze. I never expected my ex to question me.

The FBI agent?

That's Tom?

Isn't that a conflict of interest?

Exactly. That's what I told him.

But Tom tried to sell it by saying that he could protect me if he were here.

I should report him.

Well, if you got out of there that quickly, maybe he is protecting you.

No. I played the lawyer card.

Not that I have one.

You have my brother.

He'll help us.

He owes me.

Thank you.

I should really go check on Griffin. Do you think that you can cover for me? Of

course. Got this.

Griffin!

Griffin! Are you here?

He's gone gone.

I don't know Griffin Griffin, where are you?

Well, I don't know Wait,

he thinks I found my quarry. I'll call you back

I'm a lady.

You're practically a superhero.

Help! Help! He stole my bag!

Your duty calls.

I have need of your stallion!

Griffin, what are you doing? That's not your horse!

I shall return thy besom.

Unhand that bag, thief!

Unhand that bag at once!

I thank you.

A knight in shining armor.

It was my honor.

Well, that was incredible.

No wonder you won your wedding joust.

I am a knight, and I cannot ignore damsels in distress.

Let me reward you for your gallantry, Sir Knight.

I bid you all good day.

Thank you.

Tis a gift?

Mm-hmm.

Cinnamon?

What luxury. I have tasted but once.

But this pumpkin?

Oh, right.

Pumpkins are from America.

It's a squash.

No, gourd. Ah, I see.

The fall harvest is a time of plenty.

Bitter, yet.

Sweet.

I have not tasted this one.

Allow me, my lady.

Thank you.

Of course.

I must say, I am troubled to have caused your agitation on this fine day.

Oh, no, it's okay.

I'm sure today hasn't been easy on you either.

All this must seem very strange.

Indeed. But to follow the code of chivalry is to rise above oneself in the

perpetual service of others.

One does what one must.

But you must have questions.

Many.

This is an age of wonder.

It is warm indoors without the need of fire.

Food seems plentiful with many colored packages on display.

And yet, while they're entranced by small boxes, why not speak to each

other? Hmm, yes, how do I explain this? Um, the box lets you talk to people far

away? Ah, like messenger pigeons.

Yes, yes, if pigeons could deliver a letter in seconds instead of hours.

Perhaps this is a quest.

For what, I do not know, nor once I have achieved it, to return to my time.

Dost thou think I must be turned to stone again?

I'm not sure.

But there were carved instructions left on you.

Maybe John of Kent did that.

I have no such markings on my person, nor my armor, as I recall.

Oh, it was carved onto another piece of stone.

I shall not wake but by the kiss.

But the rest broke off.

I'm afraid the FBI has it now.

But once we get the book, I'm sure we'll know what to do next.

Perhaps too much importance is placed upon these writings.

I fear I may never see my home again.

Hey, we'll figure it out.

But maybe.

There's somewhere that can feel like home until then.

Oh, a fair?

Will there be games?

Yeah. What is this Halloween?

Oh, you may know it as sewing.

But in this age, we dress up in costumes and eat candy. Oh, confection. I have

tasted sugar candy but once.

At the court of King Henry.

You went to court?

How many times?

Hey, Emily.

Hey.

So, what do you think?

It's looking great, Marcus. This is... Oh, Marcus, this is Griffin.

Griffin, uh... Knight.

Griffin Knight.

He's from England.

Good day to thee, my lord.

Great to meet you, too.

Are you working on the museum's medieval exhibit with Emily?

Sort of.

He knows more about the medieval period than I do.

Well, I doubt that.

Welcome, Griffin. I hope you won't hold the very many anachronisms of this

Halloween fair against me.

Any fair is a welcome fair.

Agreed. Shall we tour the grounds?

Yeah, I doubt this demo will be ready in time.

Emily, my friend here knows more.

The poleaxe is not my specialty.

I'm more expert in joust.

Then let me show some steps if you wish please Thank

you

It's

not his specialty where'd you find this guy Emily you'll never believe me

Hey, any chance you want to take over as the Green Knight?

You know, you're supposed to win the Polax duel, but no offense, Kevin.

You're terrible.

You would false in the competition.

It is without honor.

Well, it's not a real competition. It's just part of a show. It's a bard's tale.

These knights are actors.

You would permit rogues and ruffians to masquerade as knights of the realm.

Well, acting is a perfectly respectable profession now.

Yeah, everybody already knows how it turns out. It's history. The Green

Knight is Sir Edmund of Essex.

I did not know he was so well known.

Edmund is a formidable knight, but he never wins.

No, he did this day.

He not only won the tournament, but also the hand of the lady who became his

wife, Lady Beatrice of Anjou.

She is a fine lady.

Hey, Marcus.

I think you better get over there before they hurt themselves.

Nice to meet you, Griffin.

And Emily, see you at happy hour tomorrow?

Wouldn't miss it.

My half-brother married my betrothed.

He did.

I'm sorry.

A known treatment for heartache.

I have not tasted the like.

It is like nothing I have known.

Cold as snow.

Sweeter than honey.

Filled with many heavenly delights. Rocky Road's the best.

Yet I am not of a mind to enjoy such delights.

I get it.

It's a lot.

If I had a sister and found out she married my ex, I... I... I feel weird

about it, too.

My heart does not ache for lost love, but for my lost life.

What did my family think happened?

My research only said that you disappeared on your wedding day.

They believed I ran from my nuptials and thought me a coward.

I can't believe anyone who knew you would think that about you.

You won almost every tournament you entered.

Songs were sung in your honor.

Your hand was the most coveted for your age.

And your match to Lady Beatrice was considered a great one for all involved.

It was not the life I wanted.

But my selfishness caused pain.

You didn't turn yourself to stone.

You just wish for more time to figure things out.

And for what it's worth, I'm glad you woke up in my time.

And I as well.

There are no cameras in the offices, just in public spaces.

What about the conservation studio?

No, there are none there either.

Walk me through the timeline again? Sure. Yeah, so Emily left at

approximately 6 p.m.

The studio locks automatically. Only she and I have codes. I left approximately 6

.30 p.m.

Who's that man there?

Oh, that's the knight. Yeah, he's part of the marketing stunt for our new

exhibit. You should talk to our social media manager, Ivy, about it.

She's... right there.

Who is he?

A reenactor for social media.

Why is he with Emily and not you?

She was helping me. Where did he come from?

I didn't see him enter the building.

He didn't wear his armor in?

Check the museum's social media accounts. Nothing... A statue that

doesn't exist.

Doesn't exist.

Did you even see it?

I did. Did you take photos of it? Yes.

Did you share these photos?

No. What if I got a warrant for your phone? Would I see otherwise?

Of course not.

What's this reenactor's name and his contact details?

I'll have to contact his talent agency.

I just can't remember which one it was.

Send me whatever you get, ASAP.

I'll follow up myself.

Absolutely.

Oh, I thought I had to promise my firstborn. Thank you.

Yes, I'll tell you anything of note.

Okay, talk soon.

Ivy, Ivy. I have the best news.

John of Kent's diary is on its way.

Sounds like you've got some friends in high places.

Mostly library basements.

Unfortunately, I still have to find a sculpture that was as good as Griffin's

was. No pressure, right?

Yikes.

Can we?

Yeah.

Speaking of Griffin, and don't freak out, but Tom might have seen you and

Griffin in all of his armor on the museum security camera.

Oh, I didn't even think about the cameras.

What did Tom say?

Oh, nothing.

He just wanted to know who Griffin was and why you were with him.

Okay, and what did you say?

That he was a re-enactor and you were helping me.

But now Tom wants to know the name of his talent agent.

Oh, no. No, no, no, no. No, it's fine. It's fine. I'm just going to ignore the

FBI men's calls. It's not a big deal, right? It's just the authorities.

Okay, I just...

I think we just need a distraction.

Want to show Griffin what I learned about a star chart?

Yes, please.

The night you turned to stone in 1428, there was a rare celestial event, the

conjunction of all eight planets.

And what is the meaning of this? I'm not sure, but I think this is what your

physician saw.

The conjunction happened just after sunset.

When I made my wish.

Yes. I think you made it just as the planets aligned.

So the conjunction was led by Venus.

The Roman goddess of love?

Exactly. And Griffin wished his heart would turn to stone until he found the

whole of his heart.

Guys, do you see where I'm going with this? Yes.

The stars granted my wish.

and awakened me in this time to find my true love your true love now wait a

minute i believe only griffin's true love could wake him with a kiss it could

have been the stars look i just i just don't believe true love is real i

believe this is what john was trying to communicate with the ribbon and after

all these years why me perhaps it's his fate

Well, we still don't know what John of Kent's diary says.

Yes. So we can't jump to any conclusions.

Let's just table this for now. We have Marcus's happy hour to get to.

Mistress Ivy, you must come.

Oh, I'd love to, but I'm supposed to meet my brother for drinks.

Oh, bring him along.

Then so it shall be.

Seems Sir Marcus has captured your attention.

And you his.

I don't know about that.

I'm gonna go get us some drinks.

Oh, it is like Shove Groot.

A game I would play with my cousins.

You want me to teach you?

Yes.

Okay, your turn. See what you got. How does one position oneself?

You stand square to the table. Right.

Feet hip-width apart. Put your hand here.

Grab a puck.

Put it here.

And you... And, um, you...

And then you pull back, and you lightly push, and release.

Perfection. Might I request a favor from my lady?

For luck.

I don't have any. Oh.

How

about

one for me?

I mean, we are competing with one another.

Sweet lady.

I have no one's worthy of thy beauty.

Have you tried to make me swoon so hard that I lose?

Never.

For it is my duty to please thee above all.

Sorry to interrupt. I just wanted to introduce you to my brother, Steve.

Hey, nice shirt.

I thank you for your assistance in procuring these fine garments.

Happy to help. Ivy said that the airlines lost your luggage in the flight

over from England.

Right. Yes.

Um, well, why don't we go have a drink? Yeah, come on.

There. Yeah.

First of that. Yeah.

You know, um... Thanks.

It's ale.

It's a lager, but close enough.

It's so light.

Has it been watered?

Watered down.

Perish the thought!

It's as bitter as wormwood.

The beer I favor tastes of smoke and honey, and thinks of rosemary.

I shall not partake in this.

I'm sorry, I should have warned you about the hops.

You want to try some ginger ale instead?

What is this dancing on my tongue?

Carbonation.

It was actually invented by an Englishman.

Yeah, it said he gave him a peculiar satisfaction.

I must agree.

It's delicious.

You're saying he never tried soda before? What, they don't have soft

drinks in the UK?

Well, no.

Well, he likes to stay in character when he's immersed in medieval research.

That's cool.

I love the dedication.

Steve, I'll get you another drink. Thank you.

A lady needs to know a suit to provide her every need.

Hey, David.

Thank you. You're welcome.

Hey, Ivy.

Sit here.

I mean, if you want to.

Yes. Thank you.

Are you, uh, playing matchmaker?

They gaze with equal longing.

It is just a word of encouragement.

Well, it's nice of you to notice.

We are in need of a song. to one of my new friends.

Sing with me!

Oh, sweet lovely gentle lady, forsake me not so hastily, for none to

hold dominion on my heart but you alone.

By your sweet mastery my heart has stayed, unbearably unbound.

Yet for your company I'll not be swayed, no remedy be found.

Gentle lady, do not, I pray, despair of me, for none hold such dominion of my

heart but you alone.

Friends.

Where did you learn that song?

On my mother's knee.

Though she would always say that my enthusiasm for song far surpassed my

abilities. Your mother was not wrong.

You have to compete in Sunday's tournament. You're a natural.

How long are you in town?

I know not Just that right now there is no time

no place I would rather be

I

thank

you for this day.

I have not felt so at ease since

Says he turned to stone long before then It's hard to put my feelings to words

Never lived a life just for me Well, I'm glad and I'm happy

to help My mother would have liked you Wonder if she can

see me still She can see you I know a place where we can be a

little closer to her

Come.

Big though.

We are taller than the tallest hill.

Well, not the tallest, but I like it up here too.

After my beloved mother passed.

When anything went amiss in my life, I would seek out the tallest seal as to be

closer to her.

To always seem to make things better.

That's so beautiful.

Milady, this may be too forward, but I would like to ask your permission to

court you.

Court me?

I would normally ask your father.

But I have learned in this day it is best to ask a lady directly.

Is this because of what Ivy said about true love's kiss?

Neither the stars nor any person can dictate what my heart believes.

You are uncertain.

What if this is where I am meant to remain?

Where I want to be?

Do you not believe in fate?

I used to.

Before Tom.

Who is this Tom?

He's my ex-husband.

I... Your neighbor told me he has been gone these two years.

I'm very sorry for your loss.

Oh, no, no, I'm not a widow. It's... I'm... Divorced.

Thank you.

It is a modern luxury to choose a partner and then change your mind if you

were wrong.

May I ask why he was wrong?

Well, he wasn't at first.

We met in school.

We both majored in art history.

Tom was funny, smart.

And I spent all day studying about romance and courtly love.

I thought he was my soulmate.

It is a strange age where a man does not cherish a lady such as you.

With such intelligent wit and beauty.

I bet all the ladies of Essex swooned at your words.

I would not know.

I have never had eyes for another till I met you.

You're sweet.

But I'm just not looking for love right now.

But I'll be here for you.

Just not like that.

Of course.

Hi. You have to receive information about your re-enactor.

Call me back ASAP or I'll charge you with obstruction of justice.

Hello, dear, could you?

Oh, you're not who I was expecting.

Who were you expecting? The nice Griffin.

My neighbor Emily's friend from England.

Uh, sorry.

And you are?

I'm also a friend of Emily's.

I'd like to ask you a few questions about this... Griffin, is it?

Emily would know, so you should call her.

She's at work now.

Lady Emily?

Lady Emily, have you returned?

How did thou enter these chambers?

Easy there, buddy. Put down the sword. I know the lady living here. And thou art?

Emily's husband.

You are her husband no more.

I heard tales. You were Tom, the ex.

Well, I've not heard tales of you.

Who are you?

Why are you wearing Emily's robe?

I am Griffin Knight.

He had Lady Emily's request.

Thou art not.

I bid you take thy leave.

I am master of joust, though just as proficient in the sword.

There's no need to resort to violence.

Will thou not strike an unarmed man, Tom?

Tis without honour.

I'm worried about Emily.

I don't want to have to arrest her, but... Thou art a bailiff. No, I'm an

FBI agent. In what?

I don't want her to get hurt.

I know you were at the museum the day the statue went missing.

If you care about Emily at all, you'll tell me everything you know.

Planning on returning to England anytime soon?

I have no such plans.

I'll be seeing you, Griffin.

Night.

This is it.

It's in Latin.

It's going to take me some time to translate, but it's mostly medical

notes, star charts.

I could spend months studying this.

What does it say?

My physician writes of my last visit to him.

He does indeed see the planets aligned as the conjunction of love.

He believed I was doomed to remain of stone until my true love would appear.

And I would have until the next conjunction, some 600 years hence, to

fulfill the terms of my fate.

Okay.

What is it?

It's a bit smudged. It's somewhat illegible.

Can I see you?

Qui exitavit, one who awakens

as a knight, must give animal inspiration

to all without question, or turn to stone

forever.

Was that correct?

In essence.

I don't think you can go back home again.

I'm sorry, Griffin.

I do not wish to be stoned again.

John of Kent said that you have until the next conjunction, right?

Is there a chart in there?

Yes. Oh, um... Yeah.

Okay. Um... Let me compare his celestial findings that he recorded in 1428 with

our current star maps, then look for a matching planetary alignment.

Got it. So quickly.

Give it up for modern technology.

And how long do I have?

Three days until 8 11 p.m

I'm sorry There must be

something we can do right Griffin needs a place to to inspire all right

That's where you read. Well in medieval times.

They used tournaments to express the chivalric ideal

And the only tournament I know of. Sir Marcus's Medieval Fair.

Exactly.

If you can compete on Sunday, you can complete your quest.

Oh. Oh, food's here.

I'll go get it.

And then we can talk to Marcus.

Don't worry. We're gonna fix this.

What are you not telling us?

There are many translations of the Latin word anima.

Here it means not inspiration or courage.

It says I need the one who woke the night, which is me, to give her heart

without question.

You need your true love's heart.

No.

Then she must give it without prompt, and we shall not succeed.

Is it already happening?

I believe it is starting.

Why didn't you say something?

I was afraid, Mistress Ivy, to find the answers to the cause of my affliction.

Griffin, you have to tell Emily.

No.

I cannot.

She must love me on her own, in her own time, if at all.

It is our destiny.

No, it is not.

What is this noisy flying beast high in the sky?

That's an airplane.

It's another form of modern transportation.

What a marvelous wonder.

What is that enchanting scent?

Two dogs, Chicago style.

And I promise you, no dogs were harmed in the making.

The meat is so savory.

Bread is so light in this yellow sauce.

It's mustard.

Do you like it?

Yes.

Delicious.

Talk. Then I shall go in your stead. No. No, no, no. I have to do this.

You need to get to the fair.

I'll call you a rideshare, but here, take this in case you need anything.

And... I really do hope that this tournament helps make you whole again.

As do I.

I'll see you later.

Griffin, you're incredible with the sword.

You must have had formal training.

Aye, but what of the joust? Will it not be a part of the tournament?

We don't have the budget for horses, so we're having an archery competition

instead. It'll be a tournament worthy of a great knight.

And we feast.

Ah, feast as well.

Why did you not say?

It's not only fighting you need, but dancing. Do you have a lutenist?

No, but I booked a DJ.

Does Master DJ know the courtly dancers?

You mean from medieval times?

Yes.

I highly doubt it.

We may have time to remedy that.

Let's do it.

One pumpkin spice latte, extra cinnamon.

I remember.

You didn't get one for yourself?

I drink a black.

No lattes at the FBI field office, unfortunately.

I need to talk to you about your house guest.

I think he might be dangerous.

Tom. I couldn't find a single thing in his name.

No passport, no birth certificate, no address, nothing.

It's so strange. It's like he came out of nowhere.

He has to be a con artist.

That's the only explanation I can think of.

After he threatened me with a sword. Wait, what? He threatened you with a

sword? When did this happen?

I went to your apartment.

He wasn't happy to see me.

Why were you in my apartment?

I shouldn't tell you this, but I have evidence that could place Griffin at the

scene of the crime.

You need to distance yourself. You're so worried about solving your case at any

cost.

Even if it means blaming someone who's innocent.

I want to solve the case, but I'm here for you.

I'm worried you're going to throw your life away for someone you barely know.

Frankly, you're the best thing that's ever happened to me.

I know this is the worst timing, but... I never got over you, and I would do

anything to protect you.

Thank you for saying that Tom, but I don't feel the same way anymore I Should

be going

If

Griffin

is really here to stay then there's a whole world for him to see and people to

be with I I don't want to hold him back. You are not holding him back.

You're helping him live.

When I was with Tom, I was so in love with the idea of love that... I just

went with it.

What if that happens with Griffin? Are you sure that's not fear talking?

I'll call you back. Okay. Thanks.

Hey.

Did Marcus drop you off?

Aye. His vehicle.

Quite fast.

He does like to race around.

I love that you're getting out there navigating the city, making new friends.

Soon we'll have to find you a place of your own.

I wish to be nowhere but here.

If you wish the same to be true.

Yeah. Yeah, I like having you here.

I have a question.

Anything, milady.

Why didn't you tell me about Tom?

About him? Going for my safety.

And what?

I believe he still loves you.

You need to know about Tom. He says a lot of things he doesn't follow through

with.

Unless it's for himself.

Our whole relationship was built on his needs and not what I needed.

See, I have added to your troubles.

No, no, no, no. I'm... I'm meant to be helping you prepare for tomorrow, not

rehash my love life.

Then let us not worry, Lady Emily of Poulter.

May I escort you to the fair tomorrow and compete in your honor?

I'd be delighted.

I know not what that game is, but we must play. We will.

On the liege.

You never told me your king and queen would attend such an event.

Oh, well, they're not real royalty. They're just the king and queen of the

fair.

We're down to our final two competitors.

Sir Griffin de Beaufort.

And Sir Frederick Myers.

Take your time. You got this.

Close butt for breakfast.

Thank you.

Well done, Sir Griffin. And thank you, Sir Frederick. You bested me today.

Until next time.

Until next time.

Sir Griffin!

Please step forward.

As the victorious knight of today's tournament, who will you crown as Lady

of Love and Beauty?

Lady Emily of Porter.

Sir Griffin and Lady Emily will now lead the first dance of the evening.

Thank you.

Today has been... Amazing.

Yeah.

Griffin, how are you this morning?

Did you give inspiration to all?

Did it work?

I pray you have had a restful repose.

I shall return with spiced pumpkin.

FBI, open up.

We have a warrant to search your premises.

Ivy, I need a favor.

I need to find Griffin and hide him.

Griffin!

Griffin! Hi, good morning, Mr. Sivey. We don't have time for good morrows. Just

get in. I cannot.

I have Spice Pumpkin to deliver and a lady to woo.

Griffin, we don't have time for that, okay?

Please, just get in.

I must inform Lady Emily.

She was the one who wanted me to come and get you.

Look, I will explain everything in the car, but we have to leave.

Now.

Get in!

Good job.

Okay, chop-chop. Let's go.

I can't believe you're doing this.

Sorry. I had no choice.

Check the closet. And how did you even get a warrant? On what grounds?

Wrap it up.

Carefully.

You knew it was in there? How?

The door was open when I was in here. It's evidence in plain sight. I can't

let you take it. Don't make me arrest you for obstruction of justice.

Tom. Miss Porter, where is Griffin Knight?

Honestly, I don't know.

I must return to Lady Emily.

She requires my protection.

I know that every bone in your body wants to run to her right now, but

you'll only make things worse.

Can we just stay here and help Marcus until we hear more?

Hey, Ivy.

Hey, Griffin.

Thanks so much for coming. We can use all the hands we can get.

Not your service.

Just, uh, pitch in anywhere.

I'll be back in a minute. I have a few things I gotta take care of. Okay.

Bye.

I take it that Emily hasn't professed her undying love for you.

Have you told her what will happen?

The conjunction is today.

She says we are to be friends.

How can I ask for more?

But you'll turn to stone.

You have to tell her, or I will. Then it will never work.

The one you are bound to.

That is no life to live.

We have lived that life, Mistress Ivy, and I will not force that on another.

She does love you.

She's just scared to say it.

If I had not wished upon my mother's star.

Don't despair.

We still have a couple of hours before the conjunction.

All is not lost.

You're right.

There is still time to return to whence it all began.

That armor is no evidence of a crime. It belongs to Griffin. It was made

specially for him.

That's good to know.

If it wasn't for this armor, I never would have connected Griffin to the

crime.

What do you mean? I thought you were alone in that conservation studio.

But the marble dust and mortar that was on the armor matches the ribbon mortar

and dust that was at the crime scene.

Griffin had to be there.

Just tell me the truth and I'll get you immunity.

Okay.

Yeah.

Congratulations.

You figured it out. That stone ribbon was on the statue.

And I kissed it.

And he came to life.

And he moved into my guest room.

That's right.

Griffin is the statue.

That's why you can't find any record of him.

This is serious, Emily.

I can't help you if you don't help me.

I have no doubt Griffin stole the statue and he used you to do it.

And how did he do that exactly?

Do you want the truth?

He conned you.

He wouldn't.

Griffin says what he means.

And he means it.

The only one conning me is you. Once I have him in custody, you'll see.

I'll get the truth out of him.

One way or another.

Ivy, Tom is scouring the city for Griffin. You have to keep him out of

sight until I clear this up.

I don't know how to tell you this.

Griffin's gone.

No. No, Ivy, no.

I know. I'm sorry. I don't know how he got away. Did he say anything before he

disappeared? Um, something like, I shall return to whence it all began.

Whence it all began?

He seemed resigned.

Look, Emily, I need to tell you something.

I think I know where he is. I'll call you back.

No, just wait.

Griffin!

Please, please go before it's too late.

I cannot.

Your troubles will soon be over. Yes, but I don't want my troubles to be over.

I want you to stay.

Please.

It's happening, isn't it?

That is not.

I will not run this time.

Fear no longer lies in my hands.

I do this for my love.

Griffin Knight, you're wanted for questioning. Tom, did you follow me

here? Griffin.

Griffin, I need to tell you, I...

Sit. Don't move.

Griffin, I'm gonna get you out of here.

Meet me at the tallest hill.

Emily!

You can't be here.

He didn't do anything wrong.

I can't know that.

If he could con you, who else is this man deceiving? You have no evidence to

keep him here.

Let me make this personal, Tom.

Let him go right now. I can't do that, Emily. You need to leave. Emily!

Sorry, we got here as fast as we could. Is this him? Yes.

Agent Garrett, Steve Novak, representing Griffin Knight. I believe you've

arrested my client on false pretenses.

We just brought him in for questioning, that's all. In handcuffs?

I believe we have a case for a civil suit as you did not disclose the

conflict of interest with your ex-wife.

We're happy to keep that information private once Mr. Knight is free of all

charges.

Unless, of course, you do have lawfully collected evidence in the case.

He's gone.

You mean he's free to go, right?

You'll come with me, sir?

Emily, you need to listen to me.

Okay, Griffin didn't want me to say anything, but if his true love doesn't

love him fully by the conjunction of Venus at 8.11 p.m. tonight, he's going

to turn into stone forever.

But I thought he just needed to... Inspire?

I know, but he said that Animo could mean many things.

Oh, no, I got it wrong.

Animo, he's convinced that you don't love him.

I bid you good eve, fair mother.

Again, I stand before you with a heavy heart.

I fear I may turn to stone for eternity.

I wish for more time to spend with my one true love.

Whether she loves me or not, every moment I spend with her, my heart

bursts with joy.

Griffin, no, no, no, no.

No, Griffin.

You're the sweetest, most gallant man I've ever met in my life.

I can't imagine living without you.

You do not need to say words. You do not mean for any man.

No, but I do mean them.

I do. I was afraid.

But then you, then you came into my life and you, you gave me true happiness.

I love you, Sir Griffin, with all my heart.

And thus, as was writ upon the stars,

Sir Griffin de Beaufort was saved by the kiss of Lady Emily of Porter, his one

true love, and they lived happily ever after.

Griffin! Emily!

Hey, so I just... I wanted to thank you.

Your translation of John Kent's diary really unearthed a new understanding of

how love and honor were read in the stars. It was just unbelievable.

John would have been honored that his life's work was seen by so many.

Did you hear anything else about the investigation?

Oh, well, the sculpture will be put on a watch list, but without any other

evidence, the FBI is going to move on to other cases.

Oh, well, that's great.

I'm glad everything worked out. Well, I believe everything happens for a reason.

In fact, the exhibit and the love story reenactment are so popular that the

museum wants to take it on a world tour. Really? Really. Really. Yes.

And it needs a permanent curator to travel with it.

Me? No.

I'm joking. Oh.

Yes.

Yes, you. Yeah, I'm joking. Yes, you. We couldn't do it without you.

Great. Yes. Thank you. Thank you.

Griffin, are you sure we've never met before?

No, I don't believe so.

Okay. All right.

Talk soon.

Farewell.

So, what do you say, Sir Knight?

Do you want to go see the rest of the modern world with me?

I truly do not care where or when I am.

As long as I'm with you.
