Mom?

Mom, please help me. This place is so confusing.

I don't understand any of this.

One of them mentioned Operator Zero.

What does that mean?

I saw two Verônicas, Mom. Two of them.

They're duplicates. Operators are duplicates.

The operator version of Verônica? Is that...

They destroy universes.

Use your POLLEN. Run away, honey!

Operator Zero is the leader. He... kill you.

What do you know about this, huh? You're hiding something.

I won't go back. Not alone.

We're going back home together.

Seal off the entrance to the greenhouse.

This place belongs to us now.

MILA IN THE MULTIVERSE

Do you mean it, Mom? There's another universe?

I do mean it. Many others.

Operator Zero is also interested in this universe.

Operator Zero is the leader.

Run from the Operators, honey.

I saw two Verônicas, Mom. Two of them.

They're duplicates. Operators are duplicates.

No more.

- No more what? - Lying.

We want to know what's going on.

Are you sure? Because there's no turning back.

Knowing is always better than not knowing.

Okay, but not here.

Okay. There you have it.

UNIVERSE 4 - UNIVERSE 1 MULTIVERSE - WORMHOLE

UNIVERSE 3 - STRING THEORY

I was wrong. Knowing is worse than not knowing. I'll take ignorance.

So you and your mom came to this universe, and she was probably kidnapped?

So that person wasn't Verônica's weird twin,

but a duplicate from another universe?

An Operator.

And you were totally fine with not saying anything sooner?

So you'd have believed me?

Not even I believed it, Ju.

- ...liana. Juliana. - I discovered the Operators when you did.

And I hardly know anything about them.

I just know everyone could be in danger.

- Me, you, my mom. Everyone. - And were you able to talk to her?

The connection was terrible. Anyway, she begged me to run away.

So that's it? You run away to your own universe?

No, I'm not running away. And I don't just want to save my mom.

I want to find out what's going on. Why they're here.

I'm not abandoning you.

Fine.

- We'll help you. - What?

Wow. I thought that would be harder.

Something's very, very wrong here,

and we need to do something about it.

Okay. So what are we gonna do?

We have to go back to where the two Verônicas are

to find out what's going on.

Okay, and Pierre? Has he shown up yet?

No. I haven't seen him since yesterday.

- Since you... - Since I broke his device, right?

I'll meet up with you later.

- It's too high. - I have a grappling hook.

In the middle of the grounds? No way.

- We need to be discreet. - I hate being discreet.

Okay. Where is there a window into the room?

We left the Contraband Room and walked, like, five yards. It's here.

But we can't see anything.

If we could just put a crack in it...

Impossible. It's transmuted carbide.

I hate transmuted carbide.

It's an alchemical material.

The study hall has one just like it. It's bombproof.

Trust me. If it's closed, it stays closed.

Wait, you've put a bomb in the study hall window?

The book I had to read was boring.

Okay, fine. What now?

Well, this room must have a door, right?

- No. Wait, wait. - What is it?

- They're Operators. - How do you know?

Look at their hands. Verônica had a ring just like that.

They must use them to communicate.

We're screwed. No hole in the wall, no window, no door.

- We can't get into that room. - Relax. We'll find a way.

Pierre?

Pierre?

Pierre?

Hey, Pierre. Here.

Is it working?

Sorry, I didn't know it was so important to you. I repaired it.

It won't come loose again.

What are you doing to him?

- Guys, it's a hug. It's normal. - Maybe in your universe.

Vinícius!

No, chill. Pierre's known for a while.

- Him? He knew? - More than anyone, actually.

So we can talk about other universes now?

Good.

What's your name again?

Juliana.

Honestly, I thought you were just gonna get in the way.

- Juliana! - What? It's true.

But we couldn't have done it without him.

Yeah, glad you're here.

Yeah, Pierre. You're really important to us.

Pierre?

Forget it. We need to know what's happening in that room.

Uh-huh.

Oh, no!

You guys, look at his hand.

Bóris too?

Wait. That's Operator Bóris?

Oh, hell. They're identical.

Almost ready.

Just a few more seconds.

There we go.

And that's cold transmutation.

The plate is composed of 82% carbide.

And now, you're going to learn how to purify it until it's 98% carbide.

How? That's up to you to find out.

Professor!

What?

This is cool and all, but what about detransmuting something?

I don't know...

Like a window, for example. Is that possible?

Your sudden curiosity is quite intriguing, Juliana.

But no. No, it's not.

This technique is irreversible, as far as I know.

I hate transmutation.

Okay, let's arrange the materials for the next experiment, please.

Excuse me, Ilk...

Professor?

Aren't those my mom's books?

Yeah, they are. She must have forgotten they were here.

I can give them back to her.

Of course not, Ludmila.

Why not?

Because faculty books are the property of the Institute.

Professor Elis is on leave. I'll return them directly to the dean.

I need to get those books.

Why? Are you bored? Nothing to read in this universe?

What? No! They're my mom's.

They must hold clues as to what happened to her.

Okay, I want to hear the results of your experiments at our next class.

Now, let's move on to hot transmutation.

I should add that this process is much more dangerous.

The heat from eternal fire is very powerful.

It can create or destroy.

That depends on who's handling the flame.

Don't forget your goggles, Luiz.

Hey, everyone. Pay attention.

Because transmutation begins very slowly, but is over in a flash.

What's she doing?

- Who? - Ludmila. Look.

She's insane.

- Look, Vinícius. - What?

- It worked. - Wow.

- Fantastic, huh, Vinícius? - It's amazing.

Great. Let's move on to the next lesson.

- I'll grab another plate... - Wait!

Professor...

I was just wondering,

what if we left the plate on the alchemical fire for longer?

Wow, that's actually an excellent question.

I'm really impressed, Juliana. Let's experiment!

Put the plate back, please.

Carefully...

Not so close to the fire now.

A little further back.

Slowly...

And what if we increased the fire's intensity? Like this.

No, no, Juliana!

I think I changed my mind.

I love transmutation.

For real.

But, girl, you know you didn't have to turn up the burner. I had the books.

I know, I just wanted to.

That was great. We need to do it again. For real.

That was amazing.

Funny. It looks like my mom's handwriting, but it's not.

What's different about it?

I dunno. I just know it's not hers.

I think they switched bodies

when the Elis from here disappeared.

Wait a moment. "Florilegium."

That?

Don't touch it. Don't open it. You'll rip the spine.

Oh, God, is it alchemical? Will it explode?

- Obviously not. It's just a book. - But it's dangerous.

It's a compendium of all the most advanced alchemical knowledge there is.

It's the most amazing thing ever written.

- Okay. So I can open it. - Obvi... No. No, you can't.

Only faculty members can open it.

It's against the rules.

Seriously? After everything we've done, you're scared to open a book?

Look, Vinícius, you're right, okay?

We really do need to be careful, but isn't this an emergency?

Okay, go ahead. Open it.

Ready?

Look at this. Hydrophobic nebulization.

Luminiferous ether reactor. This is amazing!

Juliana, is this what you wanted? A universal detransmuter?

Now I know more than Professor Ilka. How the tables have turned.

Okay, wonderful. We'll make a detransmuter...

And it only takes 84 years to complete.

Black hole mapping.

- Perfect! - Great. Perfect for what?

For everything. It's super interesting, don't you think?

You know, now's not the time...

What about this, you guys?

- Guys, what's this? - How weird.

Because it's right, but at the same time it's wrong.

For example, this element exists, but this one doesn't.

You guys, hold on.

There's more text here, do you see it?

- The ink's so faint. - Yeah.

I think it's secret writing. Juliana, grab that lantern.

- Are we burning it? - No, obviously not!

I may be a rebel, but I'm not a criminal.

I would never burn a book.

Just find the right light frequency.

Look! It's starting to show. But it's really faint.

Hold the lantern closer.

Wow, look at this!

What is it, you guys?

- It's an artificial insect. - The size of a fly!

- It transmits image and sound. - Perfect!

Now we can go in that room and see what's happening.

What's up?

Guys, look at the name of the creator.

No way.

The greenhouse was locked.

I had to improvise with the element.

Come on. Now we need to find namirite.

What's namirite?

A gemstone.

We'll need it to make the insect's eyes.

Without the gemstone, it won't work.

Guys, I found namirite.

Wings, head, legs,

namirite, body.

We're all set.

We have enough to make only one insect.

We can't screw up.

Let's get to work.

Pass me the tachometer.

Ludmila, can you ask Pierre if it's three or four pins?

Huh? He's right next to you. You ask him.

No use. You're the only one he even hears.

Ju. You're exaggerating.

Pierre, is it three or four pins?

Pierre, is it three or four pins?

Four.

And my name is Juliana.

- What's going on? - The power had better not go out now.

The energy transfer is very high.

Yes.

How much energy does this machine need?

All of it.

We will likely exhaust all the alchemical fire.

But we need this energy to fulfill our greater purpose,

which is to destroy the universe.

I am the one who knows the greater purpose of our operation,

Operator 37.

I can't believe it! It's flying!

Wow, it worked!

It's perfect!

Vinícius, open that door.

- Well, he's gone, isn't he? - Yeah.

- Stop, stop! - What?

Go back a little.

Who's Felipe talking to?

What? It could be important, right?

Did you guys join the project?

There! Evil Verônica.

- Go, follow her. - Behind her.

Careful, careful...

Be careful. Stay further back.

Go, go, quickly, Ju. Go! Go, she's gonna close it!

Careful, careful, careful!

Come on, Elis. Let's finish this.

Guys, hang on.

You guys, it's my mom!

They have her locked up. We need to do something.

Relax. We won't let up on this.

Has she made any progress?

I don't know, ma'am.

Ma'am, is the operation proceeding as planned?

What do you mean? Of course.

Sorry, I assumed Operator Zero would take over.

Unfortunately, Operator Zero may no longer be able to carry out his role,

but I will fulfill my purpose in this operation.

You're taking too long, Professor.

I can't continue this research.

You want to measure the properties of overloading eternal fire,

but I've done so.

If the fire is overloaded, it can get out of control.

It could create enough energy to destroy everything,

to rip the universe to shreds.

That is a possibility.

But you've forgotten something.

If you don't do as I say, your daughter pays the price.

And that's not a possibility. It's a certainty.

I want those findings.

Otherwise, Ludmila's next.

Ludmila, what's happening? What research?

She said it could destroy the universe.

This doesn't make sense. Who would risk that?

Verônica isn't risking anything.

Destroying the entire universe is exactly what she wants.
