Let's go, let's go, let's go. Come on, let's go!

This way. Come on!

Sir, the capacitors are ready.

Good. Have those transported to the Abyss.

The Clouded Mountain draws closer.

The way forward now depends on Lyra.

If Eve survives the Fall once more,

all worlds will be liberated.

But if Metatron can control the children, all their daemons,

the future is his... forever.

I have devoted my entire life to science and the pursuit of truth.

I have sworn blind that prophecies are merely stories concocted to...

control the credulous, and yet...

here I stand, unable to avoid the prophetic truth in front of me.

The success of our entire rebellion...

seemingly hinges upon the survival of our daughter.

So, change of plan.

We don't have to win this fight.

We just have to keep Metatron's forces away from the girl and the boy

long enough for them to be reunited with their daemons...

escape to a safe world and fall.

I will alert you when the Knife Bearer cuts through.

Spirit can sense the blade.

All civilians have taken shelter in the bunker beneath the base.

Our human forces can be stationed around the perimeter

Kaisa has been searching for the daemons. When he finds them, I will go to them.

- Good. You'll bring them back here? - Here?

With the Clouded Mountain above us?

I designed this building to withstand Angelic force.

How can you possibly know the nature of Metatron's attack?

Oh, I am prepared for him.

HIS DARK MATERIALS

We could go through to that world.

It's sunny. It smells nice.

We can't.

You know, I have an idea.

We need to get to our daemons, right?

So, if I cut to the Republic, find them...

you can go to that nice world and I'll meet you there.

- You want to leave me? - Not leave you.

Just let you go there.

You just said you wanted to do that.

We've come this far, and you still don't understand.

We're in this together.

Quiet clear you're unconvinced by the plan.

Here.

I've placed capacitors inside the Abyss to harness the Dust flow.

It's a simple switch mechanism, but when the detonator is released,

the energy coils collide to create an energy surge.

It may be powerful enough to destabilize the entire Clouded Mountain.

I'm going to go there.

I'm going to make sure that when his house comes down,

Metatron goes into that Abyss.

And how exactly do you intend on doing that, Asriel?

Sheer physical force.

They're envious of us up there, Marisa... the Angels.

Our flesh, our blood...

our short vital lives. They've none of it.

I have to believe that flesh is stronger than the spirit.

I don't think you can be certain of that.

You know the only thing I've ever been certain of?

That I was born to change the worlds.

And now it seems that that destiny belongs to someone else.

I've given the girl nothing.

But at the very least, I can buy her time.

You'd do that... for her?

Not just her.

If I succeed in bringing him to the Abyss...

will you detonate the device?

Even if you get him to the Abyss...

you do understand its not just death down there.

It's eternal oblivion.

Ask me whatever you wish.

We're doomed, aren't we?

For all Asriel's planning, we've what we're about to face.

Come on!

You see so much and yet you share so little.

Please.

- Tell me how this ends. - You don't need me to.

You've already made up your mind.

Is my mind that easy to read?

Your love for Lyra is your salvation... and your downfall.

When you think of her, I can read you as easily as a reflection in still water.

You have an extraordinary power...

to suppress the best of yourself.

When the time comes... use it.

Metatron is a seer.

A mortal who has not confronted their own darkness

is as helpless as a child before him.

Well, then, Asriel is no match for him.

Right, so we are doomed.

Some of us will die today.

The Authority wants you to be afraid of that.

And why not? We are all of us here mortal.

Whether our lifespans are three or three-hundred years,

our time down here in the Earth is finite.

And so, we cower.

We cower under the tyranny of an authority who calls himself...

Creator.

Who tells us...

that Hell awaits those who disobey him...

and that paradise exists only for those who obey.

This is a lie.

A lie that has prevented us from living our lives to the utmost.

Today is our chance.

It is our chance to tell him...

that our lives are beautiful and precious...

and that we should be allowed to experience

all they have to offer without the fear of retribution.

Because if we don't fight until the end...

we will lose everything.

So, yes, today some of you will die.

But thanks to my daughter...

Thanks to Lyra...

we need no longer fear that fate.

For from today, death is no longer an ending,

but instead a journey back into life.

So, from today, the Authority has no power over us.

Today, life confronts death...

and our light shines through the darkness.

Today, we will tell him that our children shall experience paradise,

but they will know it down here, in the Earth.

Today... we are free!

We are free! We are free!

- We are free! - We are free!

We are free!

The kingdom of Heaven is nigh.

Let's bring it down, shall we?

I'm glad I said we didn't have to win this fight.

So, there are advantages to not being the chosen one.

You sure you're ready?

Yeah.

Can't be worse than Land of the Dead, can it?

All in position.

They're here.

To the south, where the mountains rise from the plateau.

Attack!

Ogunwe, come in.

It's time. Go to the southern perimeter.

Copy that. We're headed for the ridge, let's go.

How are we gonna find Pan in all of this?

Least we're in the same world as them.

Pan and your daemon will be together. Looking after each other.

Let's keep moving.

You are needed.

For Lyra?

Metatron is releasing the daemon-eaters.

He is turning all creatures against us.

On my command!

Fire now!

Come to me.

Come on.

I've found Pantalaimon.

Put down the knife.

You're Will. And you're Lyra.

Who are you?

I'm Commander Ogunwe, and I'm here to protect you.

I'll take you to Asriel's camp.

- So I can cut us there. - No! Do not use that blade.

He'll do what he wants.

You see those Angels up there?

Now that you're in this world, they can sense when you use the blade.

They all know you're separated from your daemons, and they will target them.

We need to keep moving. It's not safe here.

Follow me.

You can trust me.

Quickly!

Pantalaimon?

You've been through so much pain.

But you must be reunited with Lyra, you're in grave danger.

They left us.

I know.

But they have come back for you.

We have to hurry. Will you trust me?

Take your bird forms.

Did my father send you?

Quiet. Get back!

Do you trust him?

You shouldn't.

He uses people.

- All I know is Asriel's proud of you. - No, he isn't.

I personally heard him champion your name in front of hundreds of his own troops.

I don't know why he'd do that.

Come on, we need to keep moving. Stay close.

Give me the strength to protect the daemons.

Conceal them from the Angel's sights.

Give me the strength to protect the daemons.

Conceal them from the Angel's sights.

Give me the strength to protect the daemons.

Conceal them from the Angel's sights.

They're all around us.

They're getting close. Go this way, quickly.

Quickly! Take your positions!

Lights!

Get down.

Cover the rear!

Run to the Tower.

Now! I'll hold them back!

Run!

Restock weapons and ammo.

- Okay, sir. - Now!

Brave soldier...

join me.

Serve me.

There's no heaven for heretics. Just darkness and isolation...

I am your only hope of salvation.

I am your only hope of salvation.

Who are you?

I said who's there?

Your maker.

Your destroyer.

Only the righteous will escape damnation.

Heretics must be punished.

Strike down my enemies and you will be forgiven.

Resist me and you'll be damned.

The righteous will escape damnation.

Your destroyer.

I am your only hope of salvation, heretic.

Show yourself to me.

You intrigue me.

You are...

unusual.

You control those Spectres as if they're your playthings.

Join me.

You know what to do.

What the hell is she doing?

Stelmaria?

Stelmaria?

Marisa?

Great Regent. I wish to be of service to you.

You wish to serve no one but yourself.

You are a cesspit of moral filth.

Do not lie to me.

We only seek what we are denied.

Who were you before you had power?

Did you not crave it, too?

I was...

a man.

Ruthless...

but fallible.

Not unlike yourself.

They say spirit envies flesh.

Why would I envy weakness?

Flesh is vulnerable.

Its power is...

crude.

Flesh has its pleasures.

You do this very well, don't you?

No wonder the mortal men are convinced.

Why did you call to me?

Lie to me again and I will extinguish your life like a flame.

I was curious.

I wanted to meet you.

I'm here!

The arrogance of man.

Do you think you can fight Nature itself?

Why don't you come down here and prove me wrong.

The unequalled Lord Asriel.

Who wages war on the Heavens but dares not confront his own self.

Look at you.

All alone.

What is it that scares you so much?

I see.

It's resentment of your own daughter.

Maybe.

But I'm not afraid of you.

That is a lie.

Face yourself.

You're here because I chose you.

If I wished, you could transcend your human form.

Never again diminish yourself...

or be shamed for your strength.

The multiverse would be yours to command.

- What are you offering me? - Immortality.

In the past...

a chosen few...

have become Angels.

It's not happened for millennia.

Not since the Fall of Man.

You thought of Eve. Interesting.

You're attempting to conceal something from me.

I see an attachment. A weakness.

Regret.

Shame.

Love.

Your daughter, Lyra.

Yes.

Yes. I do love Lyra.

I love her...

and I hate that I do.

Do you have no words of supplication for your Creator before your death?

You're not the Creator.

You're not even the Authority.

You're just hiding behind him like you're hiding behind me now.

I am in all things.

What I am is far beyond your comprehension.

No, it's not. You're an angel.

Before that you were a man named Enoch. Either way...

you're just a person.

How easily you bleed.

You thought you were going to liberate the worlds.

But the sooner you accept your own failure...

the sooner this can all be over.

Your Land of the Dead is no more.

You put me in the grave...

then you just set my soul free.

You're gonna have to do more than kill me.

Oh, when I do...

no one will ever remember you.

I think we're getting closer. I can feel Pan.

She makes me feel weak.

It's not who I am.

When she looks at me, all I see is disdain.

I become needy and helpless.

I want that feeling gone.

Relinquish it.

- How? - Let her go.

You are completely alone.

- No one cares for you. - Marisa does.

She's here, isn't she?

Free yourself.

How do I do that? She's a part of me.

Marisa.

Marisa!

I see inside your heart.

And I see you are capable of such betrayal.

Marisa! Marisa!

Marisa!

Yes.

I am.

I am.

You care for her still.

If only you knew the disdain in which she holds you.

She is giving you up.

No. Never. Never.

I love her.

I can give you Lyra.

She would never betray me.

I can give you Asriel.

He's trying to protect her.

I do not need you to give him to me. I've already broken him.

Show me.

Look at him.

He knows he's beaten.

His end has come.

Wait.

I want him to see my face.

I want him to see what I've done.

Marisa, no.

Stay here and hide.

It won't be long now.

I'll send Lyra and Will to you.

The Authority has ordered the death of all heretics.

- Please! Please, get off me! - You are full of sin.

The Authority will punish you. You're gonna pray.

Heretics.

Pray to the Authority!

What's happening?

Those soldiers are attacking each other.

- Serafina. - Your daemons are in the Tower.

Cut them through to a safe world. I'll find you wherever you are.

Go.

How does it feel, Lord Asriel?

Disowned by your child. And now betrayed by the woman you love.

Pan!

Pan, we're coming.

So, you did come.

Will.

How could you bear it?

Leaving me behind.

Marisa, no. No.

We should be together.

Please.

I'll cut us a window to somewhere safe.

Look, Asriel.

Look at your fate.

The Knife Bearer is in this world.

He is with your daughter.

Go. We'll find you.

For Lyra.

Cloud's gone.

It's all gone.

The war's over.

- Asriel won. - I think so.

Good to see you.

Do you feel that?

There's someone in there.

I'll try to cut them free.

Machi! Aria!

Can we go now? I want to see Pan.
