All language subtitles for The Magicians Edited S04 E12_EN

Previously on "The Magicians."

A huge reservoir of magic
hidden underneath the castle?

Where does it lead?

To Roderick's secret chamber?

The Binder had a theory.

When a being of great power,
such as a god, is killed,

their energy is lost.

But he believed it could be preserved.

Effectively turning the magician
into a god.

Oh, thank Christ,
I didn't think I'd get through.

Listen, I don't have a lot of time.

We need your help.

Surviving first year students,
I am here to teach you what not to do.

The Library,
they don't want you to know it.

Before we go in,
there's a small matter of protection.

-What is it?
-Insects.

The bugs only last an hour,
so need to be quick.

Everett's been lying to all of us.

To do what?

To become a god.

It's locked.

Don't you have the key?

Someone locked us in.

-Who's dying?
-My sister.

I found her a body,

but I need to find one
that is more durable.

Like yours.

No running away, little not-god.

I'd hate to damage my sister's new body.

Good news, Sister.

I found you a much more durable body.

But I am going
to have to momentarily kill you again.

I beseech you, Our Lady Underground.

You know what? Fuck this.

You said you chose me,
so now's your chance to prove it.

Julia.

Kinda cutting it close, don't you think?

I'm didn't come here to fix it.

I can't.

You still have a chance.

A choice of what you want to be.

You're saying this whole time,

me being a human and a god,
this was all just a test?

Well, both options are shit.

I mean,
you're saying one is pass and one is fail?

You will not fail
as long as the decision is yours.

Now go! I can only hold him for so long.

-Oh, shit.
-Run!

Jesus Christ.

So The Monster took Julia.

We need to find them, do something, now.

We have the axes and the demon bottles,
you have the Incorporate Bond.

You didn't give two wet shits
when it was Eliot's life on the line.

And now that it's Julia,
you're suddenly leaning in?

Look, we all care about both of them,

but based on Mayakovsky's formula,

casting an Incorporate Bond strong enough
to hold a god...

...would take an insane amount of power.

And now we need twice as much.

If we go in there without enough juice,
they'll just body hop.

-They'll kill us all.
-Great.

Where the hell are we gonna find
that kind of magic?

Hey, Dean, I would not go
in your office right now if I were you.

If you shit
in my private bathroom again...

No. Well, see...

There's kind of a few Librarian dudes here
to arrest you?

Yeah, they're pretty pissed
about some lecture you gave...

...while you were pissed.

I've been expecting them.

Come with me.

Thank Christ, I wore the right suit today.

The right suit for being arrested?

Or...?

Wait.

Are you still drunk?

That's entirely beside the point.

We have a bigger problem.

Kady and Zelda haven't returned
from the Poison Room.

And they're running out of time.

Oh, shit.

Who are they
and what does that mean, exactly?

-Goddamn it. Focus, Todd!
-Yes.

If I'm going to be arrested,
there may still be a chance...

...that something good can come from it.

Here.

Yes, here.
Take this to the Library book drop.

Immediately. Tell no one.

-Do you understand?
-Sure, keep it "confidensh." On it.

And try not to Todd this up.

I will try not to be myself.

Well, so much for getting Fogg's help.

Well...

That's the last of our protection.

On the upside, tasted minty fresh.

Let's go.

Hey.

What the hell?

Hello there. Apologies.

I was trying not to startle you.

Christopher Plover. Pleasure.

The children's book author?

Oh, you're familiar with my work.

You could say that.
I've read Martin Chatwin's book.

Yes, well, not exactly the highlight
of my oeuvre.

You're the pervert
who turned him into The Beast.

I'm the man who's survived
in this place for weeks.

And I can show you how,
if you help me escape.

Look,
it sucks that Fogg's "outta commish,"

but who else can we shake down?

Kady was trying
to find the Library's stockpile.

If we knew where that was...

Found magic, need help.

Who sent you?

Found Magic, need help.

Okay, where, vague as shit?

Oh, sorry. It's Fen.

Right this way.

High King Fen awaits.

It's sort of incredible.

Trippy.

Oh, good, you're here.

Fen, what is this?

And what's with the fish?

Follow me. Come on.

Holy shit.

This is the Reservoir?

An ocean of pure magic.

Pretty amazing, right?

I found it.

Well, Josh and me.
And Tick was there too, I guess.

But, yeah, a lot of it was me.

One small problem...

Don't touch it!
That's the tiny little problem!

It seems to be protected
by some sort of curse.

Look what it did to Josh.

You're saying Josh is a fucking fish?

Well, of course not.

He's a Fillorian Dying Fish.

A Fillorian Fucking Fish
is a totally different species.

Wait, Dying Fish?

I really hope that's a metaphor.

Nope.

They only live a couple days.

And you're sure that's Josh?

Oh, I saw it happen.

We were gonna come straight to you guys,

tell you all about how we saved the day,

and he touches the water
and next thing I know, boom!

Josh Fish!

Him and his damn showmanship.

So is it bad if he turns white?

Great Umber's taint!

What are you doing?

Dying Fish need eye contact,
almost constantly.

Usually they'd get it
from their fish-moms,

but we'll have to fill in.

Every pet I ever had
ended up in a shoebox or the toilet.

This one's all you.

It's just until we figure out
how to turn him back into a person.

Or the rest of his life.

I'm not babysitting Nemo
when we're this close to saving Eliot.

I've got bigger fish to fry.

Margo, don't say frying fish.

It's not working.

He's not getting better. Margo, please.

For Josh?

Damn it.

So I just look at him?

My gods, he perked right up.

He's bonded to you.

He thinks you're his mother.

Unfortunately, that's not the first time
that's happened.

The closest thing to the Reservoir
in the books is the Secret Sea.

It's an underground ocean.

The Chatwins sailed across it
with a crew full of rabbit pirates.

Are those pirates who steal rabbits
or pirates who are rabbits?

Kind of both.

But it doesn't say anything...

...about The Secret Sea
being full of magic or cursed.

So I don't know.
Maybe there's a clue that I'm missing.

And if your nerdy bullshit
leads us nowhere?

We need a backup plan.

Speaking of bunnies,
where are the ones that Fen sent?

I have an idea.

So, do all rabbits talk, or...?

Some of them,
you have to bribe with cigarettes first.

-Look, about my message...
-No, I know.

I owe you.

But I can't slip you that kind of power
behind the Order's back.

The Monsters have two of my friends.

And who knows what kind of chaos
they're causing...

...while the Library does nothing.

Look, Alice.

I am no stranger
to messing up a good thing.

I'm not going to do that with the Library.

And if we don't do something,
there might not be a Library anymore.

Then why don't you work with us?

Because your bosses
would arrest all of us on sight.

You want to do some good,
this is your best chance.

I hope you find what you need, Alice.

We're not setting him loose.

All we're promising
is to take him with us,

if we find an exit.

Well?

Do we have a deal?

Moss?

My theory is, it counteracts the poison.

Probably why it's the only
other living thing in this place.

Been eating it since I got here,
and I'm as healthy as a horse.

How did you get here?

A former prisoner of yours.

Alice Quinn.

Seemed to think this was the place
I deserved to be.

Can't say I disagree.

"Don't bite the hand
that feeds you," dear.

Shall we?

At least give me my dignity.

Sorry. Protocol.

Well...

This was a new suit.

It's a bit loud.

Yes.

It certainly is.

Damn, history of this place
is depressing as shit.

Most world histories are.

Nothing about a way out.

Kady?

Oh, shit.

What? The moss should have protected you
from...

"Oh," what?

The age suspension spells Martin used
to keep me alive while he tortured me.

They must still be keeping me alive.

Perfect.

So I'm gonna die
in the most ironic way possible.

Just like Penny.

Well...

...not necessarily.

If we get back in time...

We...

All this time?

Wait, the Library had a cure?

-Kady, I...
-No.

You...

You chose not to save Penny?

-If it were up to me...
-It was!

It's called "The Poison Room."

The name is a warning Penny chose
to ignore.

No. No, no.

You don't get to hide behind the Library.

Oh, you think if you're a cog
in a fascist machine,

that you're not responsible
for the people that it kills?

I'll admit the Library veered
in an authoritarian direction.

Because of Everett.

-Once we remove him from power...
-No, no, it is not just Everett.

It's the whole goddamn Order!

It all needs to be burned down.

Not if it can be reformed.

Look, as someone who lived
through two World Wars,

I can tell you,

authoritarian regimes,
they fail eventually.

See? Look.
Even the pedophile agrees with me.

Oh, hardly.

The problem is...

...no one will ever let you change.

People always see you...

...for what you've done,
never for who you are.

So, at the end of the day,
no matter what you try to become,

some judgmental blond bitch
always shoves you down a poison well.

Yeah?

Well then I'm "team blond bitch."

Where's Fen?

I sent her out
for fish flakes three hours ago.

Wait, you sent her out alone in Manhattan?

Well, I kind of implied it was her fault
Josh was a fish and...

I'd blame her forever.

So she's cooling off at Benihana.

She never could resist a sharp knife.

Meanwhile, I'm trying to read up
on a damn cure...

...while maintaining constant eye contact
with an anchovy.

And they say girls are the ones
who get needy once you fuck 'em.

Wait... Wait, you and Josh...?

Wait, you know
about the the werewolf stuff, right?

Who gives a shit?

-Nothing matters.
-Okay.

Look, it's not a big deal, all right?

Sometimes we bang, and he makes me laugh.

And I like having him around
because of the aforementioned banging.

And you just, you know, he kinda gets me.

So what?

It's not like I'm in love
with Josh Hoberman.

It kinda sounds like you are, though.

Have you met me?

I don't do feelings.

I'm the bitch with the ice axes.

Well, you can still care about a guy...

Werewolf...

Fish.

...and doesn't make you any less you.

I mean, you can still be a bitch
if you want to.

Shit.

Maybe I do love this goddamn guppy.

I think this is the Hedge doctor
that Kady called to fix Pete.

Says he's a veterinarian.

Maybe he can help with the Fish-Josh?

Josh-Fish?

Way to be useful, Coldwater.

Is this Gordy?

Yeah, I got fish problems.

-Josh and Margo.
-Yeah.

Okay, here's my thing.

I didn't think
that I could ever trust you again.

And now...

And now?

...I find myself wanting to.

When we first met...

...I was clinging on to some...

...naive, idealistic notions
of what the world should be.

How people should be.

And I think that I have realized...

...if I just throw away
all that childish bullshit...

...I can forgive people...

...for not living up
to my stupid expectations.

Like yourself?

What if we try again?

I want you in my life, Alice.

I want that, too.

Cyrus?

There was an intrusion in the Poison Room.

It's Zelda.

With a Hedge Witch.

-Did you follow protocol?
-Yes, they're locked in.

But do we really just leave her
to die in there?

How long do you think we have?

If we got out now, a few days.

In here?

A few hours.

The after-effects of the bugs
slowed the...

Zelda? Shit.

Sorry to knock you out like that.

It's the only way we could talk.

You could have freed me.

You brought a Hedge Witch
into our most protected archive.

I read your book.

You're hoarding magic,
trying to become a god.

Why?

I put in centuries of work
before you ever knew the Library existed.

Oh, so I wouldn't understand?

No, you should understand.

How...

...futile it all is.

We work so hard
to protect the flame of knowledge,

but there will always be things
we can't understand.

Knowledge of the gods.

By becoming one of them,
I can rip their secrets away from them.

And bring them back to the Library.

At what cost?

An unkillable god
is on the loose as we speak.

In the body of Eliot Waugh.

You intend to take his power.

He has the power to destroy everything.

And all we have are books.

If we want to face that kind of threat,
we need power, too.

Isn't that what Bacchus
and the others were trying to do?

They got drunk on their own power.
Some of them literally.

What makes you think you won't fall prey
to the same hubris?

Well. I thought I had you.

Excuse me, but isn't this book banned?

Like, really, really banned?

Fuck me.

We need to get that to the Poison Room.

Immediately. Now. Now, now, now.

You wanted me?

To do what exactly?

To take over the Library once I'm gone.

To see to the human concerns.

And to fix my mistakes.

With the benefit of all of the knowledge
and the power I would bring.

I wish you had told me the truth sooner.

So do I.

So...

...do what you must.

Follow protocol.

There is a way you can still help me.

I redirected the power I need
into a Reservoir.

But it triggered a protective spell,
a puzzle I can't solve.

But I've discovered someone who can.

Quentin Coldwater.

Get Quentin to open the Reservoir...

...and the Library
can still be yours to lead, if...

Did you slap me?

We need to move, fast.

No, I didn't risk my life
to save a child molester.

He can stay.

What? No!

We had a deal. Tell him.

Well, your moss didn't do shit for us,
so...

But I can help you get to the Reservoir.

Yeah, it was a secret of Martin's, and...

...I know all his secrets.

I could share them with you.

Incursion protocol.

They're patrolling.

Come on.

Get to the Earth fountain!
I'll hold them off.

Go!

Damn it!

Quite a trip you sent me on.

You ruined my suit.

But the good news is...

...you're just about my size.

Keep barking you Schnauzer fuck.

It won't bring back your balls!

God, I hate animals.

So...

-Goldfish troubles?
-Not exactly.

I see.

Not a goldfish.

Some kind of hybrid?

Oh, my God.

I am sorry to be the bearer of bad news,
but your fish is a werewolf.

Wait.

So are you.

Did...

Did you fuck this fish?

Look, he's a human that's been cursed,
and I need to know how to undo it.

Well, it's definitely not a Hedge spell.

Without knowing how it was cast,
not much I can do about it.

So, should I just go ahead
and flush it, or...?

Again, he's a person.

I'm gonna need you to try
a little harder, all right?

Now if I look away
for literally 10 seconds,

he starts to die.

And at some point,

I'm going to need to sleep
or drop a deuce.

And I don't allow spectators.

Yeah, there is some kind of bond
happening there.

Your eye is crazy.

Is that a wolf thing, or...?

Fairy thing.

Can we focus on fish-boy please?

Not even attached to your head.

You ever pop it out?

Why the shit
would I "pop out" my own eyeball, Gordy?

So you can point it at your gilled lover
while you attend to...

...lady business.

I don't know, man.

It feels pretty stuck in there.

Holy shit, it's working.

I can still see out of it.

You ever touch me again,
I'll pop out your balls.

See? Problem solved.

I don't know.
This seems kinda problematic.

I got just the thing.

Really?

Why does a veterinarian
have a pirate-themed eye patch?

Maybe it's best we don't ask
a lot of follow-up questions.

Jesus, what happened to you?

Hey.

-Just...
-Hello, Alice.

-I thought he was dead.
-Why'd you bring him here?

Because I just might
be the only person alive...

...who knows how to access the Reservoir
and save your friends.

-Okay, so the Reservoir...
-Oh, yes.

Well, that's what Martin called it.

I thought it lacked a certain poetry.

So I renamed it The Secret Sea.

Right, the fourth, fourth Fillory book.

I see you have a copy here.

First edition. That must be valuable.

Yes.

Well...

Even more so now.

The Watcherwoman in the books...

She...was trying
to steal all of magic for herself, right?

And then Martin stops her.

Most of that book is pure tosh.

I had to invent that plot from whole cloth
since...

Well,
I couldn't exactly publish the stories...

...as the children told them to me,
could I?

I mean, The Flying Forest?

Where the Chatwins
discovered recreational drug use?

Poor little Jane hearing all about
"the birds and the bees" from a...

Well, did you know
that centaurs view necrophilia...

...as a way of honoring the dead?

I don't think I'd get a Carnegie Medal
for explaining that to children.

And then there's all the...

...all the exaggerations, and the lies.

I mean,
Martin slaying a dozen mercenaries.

Jane riding on top of a horse...

What, a hundred feet tall?
What did she call it?

-The Cozy Horse.
-Cozy Horse.

Utter nonsense!

Thrown in there just to see
how much they get me to believe.

And then Jane insisted I keep it.

In real life, the ending was much darker.

Well, Martin did stop the Watcherwoman,
that's true.

The Secret Sea...

...was built
by the Thirteenth King of Fillory...

...to consolidate power for himself.

Martin wanted to make sure...

...that no one ever tried
to do the same thing again.

So he drained the Secret Sea...

...using the last few drops...

...to set a trap for anyone
who might, one day, try to refill it.

-A curse.
-Right.

So now, one of our friends is a fish.

Well, he was 13 at the time.

I have to forgive
his rather adolescent sense of humor.

You know how to fix it?

There's a garden
that's outside the Reservoir.

"The Drowned Garden," Martin called it.

I never did know why.

It reacts to your emotions.

You feel happy? A flower blooms.

You feel sad? Another one.

So one of the plants is the antidote?

Indeed.

To make it bloom...

...you have to truly love Fillory.

Maybe when I was 12, and...

I don't know.

Fillory's taken away
a lot of the shit I love.

Martin had the same problem.

He returned as an adult
and could not make the flower bloom.

His innocent love for Fillory had...

...had soured.

I think we can all say why.

Quentin?

It has to be you.

I'm familiar with your books.

Even considering
your recent experiences...

...Quentin has the best chance of...

...making the garden grow.

We don't have much time.

There's a contractor the Library uses
who might be willing to...

Text me if you find somebody.

So it's true? The Library has a cure?

I know. It's bullshit.

Go with her.

Before it's too late.

What? If this is some noble shit about you
not owing the Library anything...

You don't want to be cured.

'Cause for all the terrible shit
we've been through,

at least the upside is,

that you know
that there's a life after death...

...and you get to spend forever
with the other Penny.

What part of that sounds bad?

The part where you're dead.

I may not know you the way he did,

but I know that
that would be a hell of a waste.

Yeah.

Well, most things are.

A lot's changed since I've been gone.

Yes.

The humans made lots of good stuff.

They spend their small lives
building things...

...that we could smash in a heartbeat.

Sounds fun.

Perhaps you can tell me.

Do I have a name?

Why would you need one?

Starbucks, mostly.

This whole time, I felt so sorry for you.

Lost and alone.

But you weren't alone.
You were with the humans.

You talk like them, you think like them.

I ate a few of them.

Yes, but you care about them.

You think I'm disappointed.

I'm not.

Are you scared of me, little brother?

Would I have worked so hard
to bring you back if I was scared of you?

All I've thought about was you.

After I remembered you existed, anyway.

And all I've thought about was revenge.

And I got it for you already.

I killed Bacchus, Iris.

All of them.

Everyone who hurt you.

The question is, who put us here?

Our parents.

They made us,
called us mistakes, abandoned us.

So...

...what do we do?

I like murder as much as anyone,
but I did all of this just to be with you.

Can't we enjoy it?

Just for a little while?

That's not what we were made for.

It's not that I'm terrified
of the old gods in any way.

It's just...

How do you kill
an intangible thought-creature?

Where do you even stab?

They're more vulnerable than you think.

If we can get to their realm.

Which, we cannot.

We had a key. A scroll.

Found it a very long time ago
in this world.

The Order took it from us.
They didn't even know what they had.

Now...

Where would a bunch of Librarians...

...keep a very, very important scroll?

Here.

This has to be it.

It's exactly as Martin described it.

Think...
Think happy thoughts about Fillory.

Pure.

Innocent.

-Maybe try talking to it.
-Okay, you just...

Well...

...Fillory is...

...obviously great.

You know, talking bears, right?

Who could hate that?

And Opium in the air?

That was...

...smart.

And...

...socialized centaur medicine...

Are we screwed because Quentin
"can't get it up" for Fillory?

Just...

-Look, why don't you try...?
-Okay, no. Stop. I can't...

Look, you're the one that ruined this.
I can't do it with you over my shoulder.

So just please, just, go.

Goddamn it.

Okay.

When I was a kid, I loved the fizzy river
that they found in book two.

And I loved...

I loved the upside-down desert.

You know? That... What...

I can't really picture it,
but you know, it sounds...

It sounds cool.

I don't know. I can't.
I'm sorry, I just, I can't...

Hey.

Hey.

I used to love Fillory when I was a kid
because I didn't know what it was.

Plover left out all the terrible shit,

and most of the good stuff,
he just made up.

Even the fucking Cozy Horse is a lie.

You remember what you told me
about letting go of who you used to be?

I know.

-I'm trying.
-Don't.

I don't want you to.

Believing in something,
really believing, is almost impossible.

But the Quentin I first met...

...he believed in magic...

...and in Fillory.

He changed.

He grew up.

Being an adult doesn't to mean...

...that you have to throw away
what you used to love.

Then what does it mean?

Seeing the world through new eyes.

And for what it's worth...

...the Cozy Horse is real.

I saw her when I was a Niffin.

So big, you could build a house on it.

So...

Let's go.

Okay, it's just you and me.

You know the worst part
of getting exactly what you want?

When it's not good enough.

Then what do you do?

If this can't make me happy,
then what would?

Fillory was supposed to mean something.

I was supposed to mean something here.

But it's all... It's just... It's random.

It's so random,
that the only way to save my friends...

...is to yell at a fucking plant!

Honestly,
fuck Fillory for being so disappointing.

You know what? Maybe I was better off
just believing that it was fiction.

The idea of Fillory is what saved my life!

This promise...

...that...

...people like me...

People like me...

...can somehow...

...find an escape.

There has got to be some power in that.

Shouldn't loving the idea of Fillory
be enough?

Guys?

Guys, something's happening.

Here's the door.

They key to the realm of the old gods.

How the hell does this thing work?

Get this to Margo.

If Plover's right, it should cure Josh.

Monsters in Library!

Sheila must have sent it.

Monsters in Library!

All right, we have to go,
before they leave.

Okay, I'll grab Margo and the axes.

Hey, you sure this is going to work?

Well, either it will,
or when you come back, we'll both be fish.

Well, that would be an improvement.

-Okay.
-Okay.

Do you feel anything?

Super stressed out.

Okay.

Yeah.

-I'm totally feeling that.
-Okay.

Grab your axes, monsters in the Library.

Are you baking for a fish?

He has a refined palate.

Yeah, here,
this should fix the whole fish deal.

And, yes, I noticed
that your eyeball isn't in your head,

but, honestly, we do not have time
for me to hear that story.

-How long does the leaf take?
-I don't know.

But you know it works?

I can't believe I'm saying this,
but I can't go until he's cured.

If I leave, Josh will die.

-It's okay.
-Penny...

I'll bring Eliot back.

I promise.

Damn, cheap bastards.

No, no, please!

No, no!

Shit.

What did you do
to get locked in this cage?

Well...

...I went against every instinct I had...

...and tried to make
a goddamned difference.

Which, for the record,
you should never, ever do.

Julia...

...if...

...if you're in there...

...I'm sorry...

...for everything that happened to you...

...because of me.

Hey, monster...

Lady.

Adorable.
