Welcome to Ankh-Morpork.

The future will
soon be in flames.

Carcer.

There is a dragon at large.

The key to controlling the dragon
is a talking sword called Wayne.

There are other artefacts.

We need all of them
to control the dragon.

Do not fail us again, Carcer
Dun or you will cease to exist.

Good morning, class.

What was she
like? This other me.

What was he like?

You still don't have
everything you need, Carcer.

We have no idea how
many artefacts there are.

There's just one more.

And it's you.

Iron in the sword.
Iron in the bearer.

I go where the work is.

Iron in the crown.

Where's the crown?

Iron in its wearer.

They shine and shimmer...

Wonse took my badge.

In noon's first ray.

The blood and the badge.

Command the dragon.

Carcer has everything he needs.

Burn the day.

We've issued warnings.

Every imp from here to the
Plains has a brush out for Carcer.

My officers are out
searching the streets.

We need to clear them. I've
ordered my palace guards to help.

We'll find him.

Carcer can turn the
dragon on us at any moment.

We're out of time.

Why did you bring me down here?

That old thing?

It's been rusted shut for as long as I
can remember. Doesn't even have a

key.

When a Patrician
fails to protect his city,

the law demands that
he be deprived of his life,

or his liberty.

Personally.

I prefer the latter.

You see, Vimes, you
should never build a dungeon

that you wouldn't
want to stay in yourself.

Keep us updated. If you can.

- You mean if I don't die?
- Yes. And that, too.

If people know that you're
hiding away in here...

All they'll ever know is
the outside of that cell door.

So as long as I go up to it,
moaning from time to time,

they'll think that I'm
suffering and be satisfied.

So let the people have
their bolts and bars

as long as you're the one
with the locks and keys.

Don't you think you should stand by
the people in this, their darkest hour?

You mean, you're
leaving us on our own?

Don't you have a heart at all?

I'm not giving up, you hear me?

Sorry, didn't
mean to startle you.

I was wondering if I could
ask you a small favour.

First, you're gonna answer
me some questions. Come on.

You're gonna answer
me some questions.

Citizens, the waving bird
is slightly more dangerous...

Hello, dragon.

Than previously thought.
Please make your way to safety.

- Have you cleared the streets?
- They're not bloody listening.

- They never listen to us.
- It's like they don't want to believe

the world's ending
until it actually ends.

It's all right. I'll sort it.

Get off these bloody
streets right bloody now,

or you and your children
are all going to burn!

That was good.

If this all ends today, I just
wanna say, you know, that...

Bloody hell. Mirror?

You're magical, right? So...

Go on, Carrot, darling.

I wanted to know what to say
to Angua, you know, about...

Shall we try a little role play?

Angua, you, you
look great today.

Those boots make
you look really tall.

Not that you're small or
anything. Of course not.

Well, I mean you are a bit small but
that's fine because I like small things.

Carrot, why don't you
tell her how you feel?

Angua, I...

I

I think you're cool.

What happens when it's all gone?

We get to live.

In ruins?

In a better world.

I don't believe that any more.

Yeah? You beginning
to believe in Vimes then?

The good in Vimes powers a pattern
that endures through the multiverse.

Every version of The
Watch rising, giving hope.

If we break that
pattern just once,

maybe it breaks everywhere,
maybe they'll be no more good.

It's too late.

Is it?

If they can erase you, why
haven't they done it to The Watch?

Vimes?

Do you know who or what
Carcer Dun's in business with?

Why would I know
anything about that? I see.

They sent him back here.

Just because I'm the anthropomorphic
personification of a supernatural entity...

You can appear and disappear
out of thin air, can't you?

I must be best friends with
all unexplained phenomena.

I didn't say that.

But you were thinking it!

I need your help here!

- We're facing extinction.
- It's not my fault.

- Up against all these strange forces.
- Here we go.

I was just hoping maybe one
of them might be on our side?

Goodness.

Only one authority in existence has
the kind of power you're describing.

If you've upset them...

Who's them?

They go by many names.

Unfortunately, if a
human hears one of those

names their mind
immediately disintegrates.

Would you like me to tell you?

My mind's been disintegrating for the
last 20 years but let's skip the names.

Will you help me fight them?

Will you

let me join your band.

- Piss off, Death.
- That's mean.

If the Watch and
the city survive today

then I get wiped from existence.

Reality. Memories. Everything.

Everything is what the rest
of us will lose if The Watch fall.

A world without good
and all it inspires.

Hope. Love.

You'd still do it, wouldn't you?

Why should I sacrifice myself so the
rest of you can just, can just carry on?

You've got this all wrong.
You really don't know.

You could be a hero.

I won't forget you, Wonse.

Ooh, I didn't see that coming.

It's exactly as I foresaw.

Yeah, right.

Hurry up, Clifford.
Till's not nicking itself.

Today. Round the back
of the counter. There.

Looting is still
illegal, Throat.

Not when you're in
The Thieves' Guild.

And especially not when you're
head of The Thieves' Guild.

They made you their leader?

Most have fled. The rest
wanted someone with guts.

You know, vision.

This is your vision?

This is what you do when the
world's about to go up in flames?

Soon there'll be no shops to
loot, nobody to rob, nothing to steal.

Just fire and ash.

All the more reason to get
what you can while you can.

- For god's sake.
- Wonse?

I said the till, Cliff. Does
she look like a bloody till?

What have you got there?

If Carcer's got any sense
he'll attack here first.

Thousands of tinderbox homes.

Fire will spread fast.

She's lost a lot
of blood. Cheery?

What's she doing here,
Captain? What's going on?

All right.

She shouldn't be here.
You can't trust her, Vimes.

We won't hurt you.

I can help you find him. I
know where he's headed.

Here.

- Sunset Street?
- There's a sun dial.

- "Noon's first ray."
- "Command the dragon and burn the day."

Noon's in twenty minutes.

Why does everything
have to be in 20 minutes?

If Carcer does this, the dragon
will bow down before him?

It'll do everything the bearer
of the artefacts commands.

Well then it's simple. When he shows
his face, I'll bloody shoot him in it.

We'll have to be fast.

I'll help you. You
saw what he did to me.

Besides, this isn't
about loyalty, okay?

It's about what kind of
universe we want to live in.

You've done enough, Wonse. Rest.

How long between Carcer stepping into the
sun and the dragon being under his control?

A moment.

When it comes, what
if I can distract it?

Buy us more time.

As far as we're aware,
it hasn't eaten today.

And we all know what it likes.

I know this might come
as a shock to you all, but.

I'm a virgin.

- Aw!
- You have to be kidding me.

- That's incredible.
- No, can't be.

I'll try to attract
its attention.

Thank you for sharing, Carrot.

Very brave.

The magical lure of the
artefacts will be intense.

A single virgin won't be enough.

Sally?

- Hello?
- You came back.

Do you want a cookie?

Sally, how many virgins
are in your support group?

One more now.

- Dig them up.
- Why would she need to dig them up?

For real. Who is
this crazy chick?

The dragon's not the only reason virgins
are disappearing from the streets.

What are you two doing?

Yeah. What are we doing?

Dig them up. Now!

Citizens, Lord Vetinari
wishes you all well,

and thanks you for your contribution
to the rich, varied life of this city.

It's been fun, seriously.
So, so much fun.

Where is he?

He has to show
himself any second now.

Vimes,

I want you to know

that even if I do get my
hands on those artefacts,

you can trust me.

I trust you to do
the right thing.

Really? Because
we argue all the time.

You wanted to throw
Wayne into the lake, I didn't.

You wanted to release
Skimmer, I didn't.

I was very happy to
hand him over to Cruces.

Even at your worst,

you're a thousand times
better and kinder and truer

than I could ever be.

When this is all over,

do you have plans?

What do you mean, plans?

Plans.

Quickly!

You keep running.
Don't look back.

Looking back only tells the predator
it's definitely gonna catch you.

I've already been caught.

Angua, I know you could never...

- Now you know what I am...
- You're a dwarf.

Also not a dwarf.

Carrot, look, for what it's
worth, I really think you're...

Carrot, honey, if this works
and the dragon goes away,

every virgin will be safe?

Everyone will be safe.

Doesn't matter
if you're a virgin.

- It doesn't?
- Of course not.

So for argument's sake, let's
say virgins kept on disappearing...

- We'd investigate.
- Yeah?

Yeah.

Is now a good time to
discuss my requirements?

- Quiet.
- Because if we're burning this world

and building a new one,
I have some demands.

Hear me out now.

I should like to be
worshipped as a sexual deity.

You're in no position
to make demands.

I want my own temple of ecstasy,

for all true lovers to cavort around
as gayly and freely as they please.

- Carcer. He's here.
- This, this is the way of Wayne.

Get ready.

We will spare the
lovers, won't we?

Shut up. It's time.

Soon as it shows.

Dragon, ignore this
dickhead and do as you will.

It actually worked this time.

Is he controlling it?

It's circling us.

- Is Carcer making it do that?
- Why would he?

No. I think it may
have backfired.

Yeah. It's really
quite pissed off.

This is it!

Virgins! On me!

Stay.

I know that sound.

Shit.

- Cheery!
- Cheery!

Cheery!

Sam.

It was the dragon. It ate them.

The badge, the crown, the sword.

Even your friend.

And now it's gonna burn you all.

You lose today, Sam.

And for once I get to win.

I know how that thing feels.

Doesn't wanna be
caged. Controlled.

People are dying, Carcer.

Help us.

I can't.

Whoever sent you back from
the future must have the power to...

They don't want to help you.

I know why you want it all gone.

And I agree with you,
the whole city's rigged.

That's not why I did this.

I didn't have a choice.

I've never had a choice.

The first time I killed,
it was him or me.

But you,

you chose to let me fall.

- Right into their hands.
- Whose hands?

Listen to what's
happening out there.

- Don't you care?
- Why should I?

I was always gonna be
the villain in this story.

We'll save everybody. You'll
never make captain now.

With or without your help.

- You'll die.
- We'll find a way.

Just like your dwarf friend.

The fact that I'm still
breathing, still here,

the fact that you still
remember my name,

means that you and everything
you stand for ends today.

But me?

I'll be spared,

and not just by some dragon.

Who's going to spare you?

When I hear your screams,

I'll know.

For the first time
in my life, I'll know

that it's fair.

Last report said it was
heading for the Upper Side.

It's burning everything.
Street by street.

It must have a weakness.

A vulnerability.

Do not shake him like that.

He's a dragon, isn't he? He
must be able to do something.

You're frightening him.
And me, for that matter.

If Cheery couldn't
find anything,

what chance do we have?

My father always said,
"It's better to light a candle"

"than curse the darkness."

That thing's like
a lit flamethrower.

Soon, there'll be
nothing left but darkness.

Cheery was afraid of the dark,

and then they realised
it wasn't so bad.

Well, they wouldn't let us

spend our last hours
like this, would they?

No, they'd get the
tambourine out.

You're alive!

Yeah, I'm a bit shocked too.

Especially since the
dragon literally dropped me.

It dropped you?

Too experienced for its tastes.

Yeah, she dropped
me Into a forest.

Speaking of which, can somebody
do something with this please.

It's an egg. Thank you.

That's mine.

Cheers, I've been
looking for that.

Where's Goodboy.

There's Goodboy.

You're a good boy aren't you?

The Dragon

is pissed.

Proper pissed.

I know this because
we had a chat.

- A chat?
- Well, I say chat.

It was kind of bit more like a,

and then it was a bit of
screaming from my part.

Lot of...

You know.

I've had worse
conversations believe me.

She feels threatened.

She feels like we want
to kill her or capture her.

So she's gonna do what any
cornered animal would do?

But I think I know
how to stop it.

You're head is bleeding.

Is it?

Right.

That's fine. If I collapse,
then, transfuse my blood.

What you all
gawking at? Come on.

We've got a city to
save. Chop-chop.

Oi, Spike we're
gonna need power.

Pretty exposed here.

We should run towards the danger
everyone else runs away from.

Bastard's gonna burn everybody.

Are you sure about this, Cheery?

After the dragon took me

I realised that that
roar we've been hearing

it's not a roar. It's a song.

Goodboy's song.

I think they're both lonely.

If I'm right, then all we need
to do is amplify the song.

- Boost it.
- And then?

Noble Dragon should
be attracted to it.

We release Goodboy

and then maybe...

Maybe?

Well, either he stops her
from destroying everything,

or this is will be the
shortest gig that we ever play.

Then let's play like
we'll never play again.

It's not working.

Louder!

It's coming.

Now, Lady Ramkin.

It's almost on us.

Be safe, Goodboy.

Remember to breathe, Goodboy.

Breathe.

Best damn gig of our
lives and no one saw.

We saw.

I'm sorry.

I'll never forget you.

We are the Watch.

Who's there? We are!

Well done, team.

Why, thank you.

He's been erased.

Come to hand yourself in?

Lupine Wonse, we're arresting
you for the theft of a Grimoire

from Unseen University Library.

- The summoning of a Noble Dragon...
- Wait!

I just helped you save the city.

You tried to burn the city.

You don't remember him...

He fell from the roof.

What are you talking about?

After he killed John
Keel he fell from the roof.

You killed John Keel.

You killed him when I couldn't.

I should've arrested
you that night.

- Carrot.
- No wait.

- Vimes, please listen...
- Hands.

They've rewritten reality.

- Do as he says.
- You think I did everything Carcer did?

But I know different.

- Who's Carcer?
- I'm not the enemy here.

- Hands. Now.
- No. Wait.

This is uncut Slab.

I light it,

and anyone in a two-mile radius

is gonna have the
worst day of their lives.

You mean the last
day of their lives.

Don't follow.

I remember him.

Do you hear me?

I know you're watching.

I'm the only one
who remembers him.

And you.

What if I told everybody
that you're out there?

What if they all knew

what you're going to do?

What do you want?

Power like yours.

Why should we give you power?

So I can destroy The Watch.

We're listening.

So Wonse is still at large?

But we're doing everything
in our power to find her, sir.

And you're certain the
Noble Dragon won't return?

It's free.

Hand it over, there's a love.

Come on, come on.

Write the lady a receipt, Tim.

There's a good boy.

How reassuring it is to see
everything back to normal.

Not often we see you out
on the streets, My Lord.

I have a delicate complexion.

Seems to agree with these
nice clear skies though.

And your new responsibilities
seem to be agreeing with you?

I'm not really in
it for the thieving.

It's the people you get to meet.

Good. Because in light
of The Watch's success,

I am considering
reducing the quota.

Reduction, sir? Tim.

I've called an emergency
meeting of the City Council,

and all the heads of the
guilds are expected to attend.

The Assassins still
don't have a leader

after the disappearance
of Doctor Cruces.

Yes, the power vacuum
in The Assassins' Guild

will certainly be
top of the agenda.

And The Watch

will need a representative.

I hardly think that
I'm suitable, sir.

We all know that, Vimes.

A reduction in the
quota is a fantastic idea.

The Watch are more than
ready to pick up the slack.

My Lord.

Thank you for your
approval, Lady Ramkin.

But we will need
more officers though.

Will we?

Be there.

Why do we have to be
on the posters, Cheery?

We're The Watch, which means...

- Anybody can be.
- I know.

Even if the quotas do come down,

there's still The Thieves'
Guild and The Assassins' Guild.

A whole lot of
wrong we can't touch.

But there's a whole lot of
wrong we can touch, sir.

Well, I guess you
better put these up then.

Everywhere you can.

You're not coming
out with us, Captain?

I've... got... plans.

Plans, sir?

Plans.

So then I told Vetinari
that The Assassins

should fill their power vacuum by holding
democratic elections for their new leader.

It was agreed 14 to 7

that I should be the
one to administer it all.

So just you wait.

I'll have them out of
business inside a year.

Erm...

Got a light?

Goodboy's gone.

This is what I saw.

Us.

Here.

In the future.

Our future.

More wine?

Yes, lovely.

No. No, no, no, no, no.

Do you know how many
different varieties of cabbage

they have at the farm your
friend despatched us to?

Three hundred.

My favourite was the
Klatchian Clutcher.

You don't dig it up?

It jumps out of
the ground at you.

Such a persistent vegetable.

Keeps coming at you.

Just will not give up.

The only way to stop
it. Is to cut out its heart.

There is no power vacuum
in The Assassins' Guild.

And there will be no election.

Or witnesses. Remember?

Yes, I didn't see anything.

No, wait.

You really are a good singer.

No!

- Um...
- I'm so sorry about that.

I had some business
to take care of.

You've got

Sam how do you always
manage to have such filthy skin?

You... You...

And those scrawny little legs
really do need fattening up.

Look, what I'm
trying to tell you is...

My legs need what?

Nutrition. I'll sort it out.

- Sybil.
- Sam.

You have a fork in your back.

A what?

So I have.

I should take that out.

Well. If you're still
here when I get back,

then I'll know
you're really mine.

Well, that was well
and truly wedged in

deep.

Sam?

The following announcement
is for your safety.

As a mortal being in an
inter dimensional eternity

please keep away from the edge.

If you fall, you
will fall forever.

And die forever. In
eternal, endless agony.

Enjoy your visit to
the Observers' Realm.

I thought you weren't our enemy?

I wasn't.

Bollocks.
