BAIRD: [ Over radio]
Cassandra, are you there?
Sorry. Sorry.
Okay.
[ Taps, frequency whines ]
We are all good here.
If you can hear me,
I can hear you.
[ Lowered voice ]
Copy, Cassandra. We're good.
So once you are inside,
you are looking for a sort of...
stone...globe-y thing
with crystals, or a, uh,
crystal globe
encrusted with stones.
It would be great if you could
narrow that down
to an actual description.
Yeah, it would be great
if the Bronze Age Librarians
weren't quite so poetic.
"The eye of Zarathustra
is the key
"to the door of lost knowledge,
the staff summoned
by sun and rue."
I see your point.
Are you even inside yet?
[ Thud ]
Mostly. We're mostly in.
I think.
Someone said he could crack
the world's most expensive
security system in...
What was it? A tick?
[ Whispers ] I don't know.
Honestly, I think his accent's
gettin' worse somehow.
Three ticks. We're only at two.
[ Electricity powers down ]
[ Thud ]
"Thanks, Ezekiel.
You're a genius, Ezekiel,"
said none of you, ever.
[ Door squeaks ]
BAIRD:
Do you have anything better
than "globe-y crystal thing"?
No!
Not crystal.
Glass.
Mr. Jenkins, you're...back.
Yes, from the thrilling
adventure that was
the Library's
secondary subbasement.
The Xenobia wing is down there,
which is extremely odd
considering that
for the past five centuries,
the Xenobia wing has...
[ Loudly ] Been in the attic.
Wait, how does a room move
from an attic to a basement?
Precisely.
A room should have the decency
to stay in one place.
Ah! How is the communication
pendant working?
Oh, it's -- it's good. It's just
a little pitchy, but it's --
Hello!
Breaking and entering here!
JENKINS:
"Cast of endless sands,"
sand used to make glass.
[ Sighs ]
The Eye of Zarathustra
is a glass globe,
making it officially...
The 73rd thing to disappear...
[ Loudly ] from this Library!
So how'd this wing-nut
billionaire
with interesting taste
end up with this thing, anyway?
Well, his e-mails to his lawyer
say somebody just showed up
and donated it
to his collection...
for safekeeping.
Yeah,
I cracked his e-mails.
So you buy that?
It's the key to lost knowledge,
mate.
If Prospero did steal it,
he went to a lot of trouble
just to give it away.
Maybe this is some sort
of a deep game.
Any information
on the alleged donor?
No. I haven't
found anything out yet.
[ Metal creaks ]
[ Squeaks ]
Aah! Uhh!
[ Loud clattering ]
Flynn.
[ Grunts ] Hey.
How did you get in here?
I smuggled myself in...
[ Strained voice ]
as an art object.
Why are you here?
To gain access
to the Eye of Zarathustra,
of course.
Hey!
Jenkins is trying to get
the communication stones
to work.
Copper. That is
a very interesting choice.
Wait. What are you doing here?
I thought we decided that
you would get to the bottom
of Prospero's plan
while I went around
and gathered up
all the artifacts we don't
want him to get his hands on.
We did not agree,
and that is a goal, not a plan.
Wow.
This is usually a lot more
banter-y than argue-y,
this thing that we do.
But we're way over here
in argue-y.
I know
it's difficult for you
to work with...
be with other people.
I know you were alone
for a long time.
But you don't get
to just give orders
and expect them
to be followed.
EZEKIEL: Found it!
These people are Librarians
just as much as you are.
Dropped it!
[ Ball clatters and rolls ]
Dropped it!
[ Rolling continues ]
Improbably.
STONE:
Just pick it up, man.
Let's start again.
Hi. Missed you.
Still my favorite person.
Favorite thing -- the way
your eyes look
like the ocean
during a storm...
[ Inhales deeply ]
when you're angry.
So your story is you were a jerk
and ticked me off to get...
The stormy eyes.
Look, I'm trying.
I'm trying to trust.
I'm trying to open up.
I am trying to shed
some of my emotional armor.
[ Chuckles ]
See what I did there?
And that means that I trust
that you can go out there
and do your thing while
I go out and do my thing,
and we cover twice the ground
and we don't always have to
check in with each other.
And yet, here we are,
on the same ground, because...
We didn't check in with...
each other.
I see what you did there.
Get it through your head --
this is the team now.
It's not just you.
Wait. I'm sorry.
I wasn't listening.
This is a team now.
Team now, not just me.
Not just -- not just you.
I get that. I get that.
What are you doin', Jones?
Pick it up so we --
[ Pan flute playing ]
Whatever's wrong
with the Library --
rooms rearranging,
doors to nowhere --
it's only getting worse.
Now this is the first missing
artifact to show up in public...
The Eye of Zarathustra.
And Jenkins wants
to figure out why.
You're here because --
Because the Eye of Zarathustra
is allegedly
a map to
the Staff of Zarathustra.
Okay, stop showing off
that you how to pronounce
"Zara..."
Zarathustra.
Zara-thu-stra.
...Thustra.
Ancient powerful staff
of knowledge.
And since Prospero's looking
to rebuild his magical staff...
QED.
the most likely explanation
for the public appearance
of the only artifact which
would get both of us
in the same place
at the same time...
This is a trap.
Total trap.
Jones! Jones, we're leaving!
We're --
[ Pan flute playing ]
Uh-oh.
The Magical Flutes of Pan!
[ Grunts ]
What?!
The Magical Flutes of...
[ Snores ] Pan!
What?!
The Magical Flutes of Pan!
It makes you wanna go
to sleep!
[ Flute continues playing ]
[ Thud ]
74.
The Flutes of Pan should
be here in the Library.
[ Electricity whirs,
ground rumbling ]
[ Shatters ]
Oh --
Just...
Look out!
No!

[ Exhales ]
[ Snores ]
What are you doing, Jones?
BAIRD: Stone? Jones?
Where's Flynn?
Where's the Eye?
Uh...I'm looking.
Flynn?
[ Hisses ]
Baird? Why aren't you using
your pendant?
[ Electricity crackles ]
[ Huffs ] Jenkins,
the pendant's gone.
So is Flynn.
[ Huffs ] So is
the Eye of Zarathustra.
This whole mission has gone
pear-shaped.
Yeah, well, the situation is
worse than you think.
[ Whooshing ]
The back door has become
unstable.
And unless you guys can
get back now, I can't --
[ Electricity crackles ]
I -- oh!
What happened?
Look at this.
And now Flynn's missin'?
This is Prospero making a move.
Prospero. Not Prospero.
We need to find Flynn.
Uh, how? Not like they're
gonna let him have
his one bloody phone call.
[ Snoring ]
Yeah, I think he is calling.
[ Snoring continues ]
[ Switches click,
electricity warps ]
Flynn.
[ Snoring ]
Flynn?
[ Snores and snorts ]
[ Exhales ]
[ Clank ]
Flynn? Flynn, it's Eve.
Can you hear me?
Flynn, if you can hear me
and you're not alone,
make a noise.
Make any noise.
The pendant's active.
It should be able to --
[ Whispers ] Yes, yes, I can
hear you. I'm here. I'm fine.
Oh, thank God.
Listen, Flynn, it's been
two hours since they took you.
Do you know who they are?
Do you know where you are?
Any landmarks? Are you hurt?
No, no, no, and no.
I'm in some kind of metal room.
There's no windows.
I think I hear water.
And there is a surprising amount
of Librarian trivia
on these walls.
Also...
[ Whispering ]
The artifacts are here,
the ones from the Library.
The chess set from
the Mirror Lands...
The First Caduceus and...
Yep.
The Eye of Zarathustra.
[ Sighs deeply ]
MAN:
[ Distorted voice ] No!
No! No! No! No! No!
You give it back! You sit!
You sit!
[ Muttering ] Sun and rue.
Two of six.
[ Static crackling ]
Sun and rue. Two of six.
Sun and rue. Two of six.
I think we got off
on the wrong foot.
My name is Flynn Carsen.
Now is not the time for naming.
Now, right now, I catalogue,
and you sit!
[ Thud ]
Who is this guy?
Someone extremely powerful.
Maybe a-a rogue dragon
or a minor god.
Hey, can we use the pendant
to track Flynn?
I think there -- there's
too much magical interference
from the artifacts there --
Wait!
Listen.
[ Rhythmic crackling ]
[ Pounds table ]
It's Morse code.
[ Rhythmic crackling continues ]
Numbers aren't making any sense.
[ Rhythmic crackling continues ]
Wait.
That's a Chinese telegraph code.
[ Rhythmic crackling continues ]
Flynn!
The Chinese language
is a pictographic language.
With each code burst,
you get more information
with fewer dots and dashes.
All right.
All right.
Now is the time for naming.
I'm Ray. Ray Glasney.
And you...
You are Flynn. Flynn Carsen.
Who are you?
Yes!
You tell me!
I don't know what
you're talking about.
No, you must know.
[ Distorted voice ]
You must know! You're Flynn!
You're the one I need!
Two of six
and the sun and the rue.
[ Rhythmic crackling continues ]
[ Mutters indistinctly ]
The orb is the eye,
the eye finds the staff.
You are looking for the, uh,
Staff of Zarathustra?
Okay, good. Okay, well,
nobody's been able to find that
for about a thousand years.
[ Crackling stops ]
No! No!
Jenkins, I need
the Back Door up again.
No!
Stone, I need a ley line map,
North America. Big one.
Cassandra, Washington D.C.,
is the start point.
How far could they have gotten
in under two hours?
Assuming a car,
most people drive a little bit
over the speed limit --
a hundred miles?
No!
How many towns in that
radius near a river?
37 near a river.
Oh, perfect. This one has
the magical hot spots
as well as the ley lines.
Flynn said Glasney had lots
of powerful objects unshielded.
[ Normal voice ]
You were talking to someone.
Yeah, you were tapping
Chinese telegraphy.
[ Distorted voice ] Why were you
talking to the Chinese?!
Boom. Easton, Maryland.
Right by the water.
I can key the Back Door
to the most powerful source
of local magic.
I can send you directly there.
But if you're gonna go,
you've gotta go quickly
because it's all tied
to the Library,
which is currently --
Do what you can
to keep it open.
First priority -- find Flynn.
I think you're having
some cognitive difficulties,
and I think I can help you,
actually. I think --
No. No. No. No. You'll run.
You're a runner. You're like
the Gingerbread man.
But not this time,
mnh-mnh.
[ Whispers ] Not this time.
[ Playing pan flute ]
[ Snores ]
[ Thud ]
Clear!
[ Electricity charging ]
[ Zaps ]
[ Electricity crackles ]
[ High-pitched whine,
door whooshes ]
[ Bird caws ]
[ Detector clicks and chimes ]
[ Chimes ]
Wow.
You got out of those fast.
Just pop a shim into the pawl
and...poof!
[ Chuckles ]
Aah!
[ Clicking ]
[ Electronic beeping ]
[ Chimes ]
It's an adventure!
It's gonna be great.
Just you and me, Flynn.
[ Engine starts ]
♪♪
Could this place be
any more stalker-y?
No, no, there is
a pattern here. I just...
I can't quite see it.
But there's definitely
an organized mind at work.
Jenkins,
this is Glasney's place.
No Flynn, but a lot
of artifacts.
That's why the door
sent you there,
strongest magical signal.
Now gather every artifact
you can.
We can't leave them lying around
for Prospero to find.
Grab what you can,
anything magical.
Any idea
how Glasney's doing this?
No. None. None.
Obviously, what he's done
takes phenomenal power.
We are dealing with
an extremely dangerous being.
[ Slurps ]
Do you wanna tell me
why you've brought me
and the Eye of Zarathustra
to a diner
in the middle of nowhere?
See our waitress over there?
I look at her and I can tell you
with 100% certainty
that she is
a married mother of three
who was raised
in the Mississippi Delta,
she's worked and lived here
for five years,
and she plays the cello.
I look at you...
And I get zero.
Nothing. Zilch.
That's why I need you
and the staff
to help me figure out
who I am.
Get my memories back.
All I know is...
[ Whispers ] There's wild magic
loose in the world.
It's in the woods,
in the -- in the sewers,
in the cradles
and the morgues.
And it's -- it's...
It's out. It's out!
It needs to be in.
Okay, now -- now we're
gettin' someplace,
because I totally agree
with that.
It needs to be back
in the Library.
Well, all I know is that
I felt bad before
we were together,
and now I feel good.
I feel good.
Dewey Decimal. Ha!
That's how Glasney
organized it.
Who thinks in Dewey Decimal?
Who indeed, dear lady?
Moriarty.
You are behind this.
I've been tasked with finding
magic for Prospero.
But between us, I think this
"magic" is just a fancy word
for some unknown field effect
randomizing
the quantum properties
of matter.
That's what I think.
Maybe extra-dimensional

Cassandra, please do not fangirl
over the archvillain.
Sorry.
Duchess.
Let's not be tiresome, hmm?
I see your Mr. Carsen
is not here.
As we do not have him,
I must conclude
that he in danger from...
a third party?
Okay, you're pretty smart.
But are you smart enough
to accept my offer, hey?
Hand over the magic,
stay out of my way.
Perhaps I'll take the Duchess
dancing sometime.
I'm, uh... [ Chuckles ]
I'm just a country boy,
but, uh, I am smart enough
to know
that these containers have
two doors!
[ Scoffs ]
Oh!
Ha ha.
Aah!
[ Grunting ]
[ Panting ]
Well, well, well.
Ariel...
Your service is required.
[ Tinkling ]
We've stumbled onto something,
haven't we, sprite?

[ Clank ]
Go! Go, go! Go, go, go!
Uhh!
Aah! [ Grunts ]

Does this make it better?
Does this make it better?

Who the hell are you, Ray?
Why do you seem so familiar?

It's Akkadian crystal?
Gloss is, uh...

"When sun and rue meet --"
Hey, mister,
you need to come quick.
Something's wrong
with your friend.
[ Indistinct conversations ]
[ Groaning ]
Ray? What happened?
I don't know.
I was...talking,
and the next thing I knew,
I was on the ground.
It happens sometimes.
Aah!
Oh, my head!
It feels like
it's gonna explode.
It's happening
more and more.
When was the first time?
Four months ago.
It's gettin' worse.
What about before then?
I don't remember before then.
Are you saying that your memory
only goes back four months?
[ Snapping ]
Ray. Ray. Ray.
Ray! Focus. Focus.
Are you saying...
[ Grunts ]
That your memory only extends
back for four months?
And that you reach
into your pockets
and you pull out artifacts
from the Library?
I don't know where
they come from.
You're connected to
the Library, somehow --
a Library that's constantly
rearranging itself randomly,
as if it's got no...
reason.
You're the Library.
I'm the what?
You're the Library.
Jenkins always said
the Library acts with intention.
Intention means intelligence.
That's you.
You're the intelligence,
except separated --
made flesh,
made into a person.
I can talk to you,
they can talk to me.
You can answer questions.
[ Groans ]
I have so much that
I wanna know! [ Giggles ]
I-I don't know what
you're talking about.
Thousands of years of history,
all those mysteries never s--
Judson?
I-I don't remember
any of that.
Okay, okay. With me.
I mean, the years
we spent together.
11 years. We've been through
a lot together.
Aah! [ Inhales sharply ]
Look, I...
I don't remember Judson.
I don't remember us.
It just hurts.
My head, okay?
[ Grunts ]
That's why you need
the Staff of Knowledge,
to get your memory back.
And the longer that we wait,
the longer that we're
separated, the worse this...
No, no.
I'm gonna help you.
We're gonna find the staff.
You will?
Yeah. Together.
We'll take our check.
And a milkshake to go.
No, no, you've had enough.
Just the check.
Come on.
[ Groans ]
One more milkshake.
What the hell are you doin',
Jenkins?
We gotta get back out there
and find Baird.
Wherever she is,
it's certainly safer than here.
We have a bigger problem.
The Library is dying.
The Library can't be dying.
Buildings aren't alive.
Really, Mr. Jones?
After all the time
you've spent in it,
haven't you learned anything
about the Library?
It's origami.
Folds inside folds
inside folds,
all adding up to two parts --
the infinite folding space,
the body of the Library...
And the other part is what?
It's the operating system?
Intelligence, yes,
that organizes the space,
defends it.
The Spirit of the Library,
for lack of a better term.
[ Clattering ]
So you're saying that when
the Library came back,
its spirit was stripped
by Glasney?
Yeah, well, either that
or the trauma
of its return from the void
left it vulnerable
to a powerful predator.
Whoever Ray Glasney is,
he has left the Library
without nourishment.
The Library eats now?
[ Sighs ] Yes, Mr. Jones,
and what it is eating
is itself.
That's what --
all these shadows,
that's what they are.
And when it goes
completely dark,
the Library is dead.
Which brings us to...
[ Exhales ]
The ghost lights.
[ Sighs ]
Beautiful
and mechanically inclined.
[ Cocks gun ]
I do prefer you modern women.
Now, now, Duchess,
we've been over this.
You can't kill me with that.
Five seconds.
Make your point,
or bye-bye, knees.
Simple arithmetic --
you wish to find
your Mr. Carsen,
I wish to find the staff
for my...employer.
We're heading in
the same direction. QED.
again with the QED.
I can find him on my own.
Ah, yes. But I'll wager
that Ariel
can find him faster.
[ Whirring ]
Now you need a guide,
Duchess,
and I...need transportation.
I have not yet, I'm afraid,
learned how to drive.
Why should I trust you?
Because I am under duress.
You know I was summoned
and serve Prospero
against my will.
We find your Mr. Carsen
and the Staff of Knowledge,
we use some of this knowledge
to break the spell
Prospero has over me,
make me a free man.
You'd betray him?
If you don't trust my virtue,
trust my self-interest.
[ Sighs deeply ]
Smashing.
And we get to spend
a bit of time together.
Ah.
You're not as charming
as you think you are.
[ Scoffs ]
I'm precisely as charming
as I believe I am,
to the decimal place.
[ Taps door ]
[ Brakes squeal, gears shift ]
[ Engine turns off,
door closes ]
Well, you seem better.
I mean, you look, uh...
[ Claps hands ]
This is good.
I have to tell you,
I just have so many questions
for you, though.
Do you know what happened
to the 10 missing Librarians?
And you know that -- that locked
room in the sub-subbasement,
what is in there?
I thought maybe it's a Kraken.
Jenkins says it's a Grendel.
I don't remember any of that!
I don't remember anything.
That's why we're here.
Well, not here,
but someplace close.
There!
Nope. Over there.
Down here!
Ray!
Down there?
Nearly there.
I still can't believe it.
I mean, the Library
in human form.
I believe I'm the only
Librarian in history
to ever get a chance to talk
to the Library in person.
Ray, look at me
and tell me that you don't
remember anything.
Not even one little thing?
I don't remember anything.
Okay, that's -- this is --
yeah, good.
But tell me,
why are we stopped here?
I don't know.
What I do know is, this...
This is exactly where
we're supposed to be.
What? No.
[ Chiming ]
This way!
Ghost lights sit
in every theater
in the Western world.
They absorb all of the emotions,
all of the life expressed there.
When they're full of life,
they come here.
Activate these bulbs,
the Library will feed off
of their life energy,
stay alive long enough for
Mr. Carsen and Colonel Baird
to find and stop Glasney.
What are you not telling us,
Mr. Jenkins?
Oh.
Quite a lot, I suspect.
Over the next ridge,
at least.
[ Clicks ]
Come now, Duchess.
No need to be so stiff.
I wager you'll quite like me
once you scratch below
the surface.
[ Scoffs ] Well...
First... [ Clears throat ]
I'm kind of seeing someone.
"Kind of"? Hmm.
Am seeing someone
who's not fictional.
Second, I'm not really
in the bad guy business.
"Bad guy"? Relative term.
Holmes and I were
almost partners, you know?
Uh-huh. He turned you down?
No.
No, I didn't want to
work with him.
You've read the stories --
never settling,
flitting from case to case.
Always running --
running, running from himself,
running from boredom.
No, I wanted
to build something.
Oh, you built
a criminal empire.
Because that's all
they would let me build.
I ask you, what would you do
if they wouldn't let you
breathe?
If they wouldn't let you
open any door?
You would make your own.
Precisely.
Both your world and mine,
there are those of us who run
and those who build.
You and I?
We're planners. Strategists.
We're builders,
in for the long haul.
What type is your Mr. Carsen,
pray tell?
[ Grunts ]
This is it!
It should be here.
The temple should be right here.
Where is it?
Yeah,
I'm...starting to think
that maybe walking through
the Pennsylvania woods --
not the best way to find
an ancient Sumerian temple.
Why isn't it here?
It's gotta be here somewhere!
It's just trees and rocks
and moss and --
I don't need a forest. I need
a staff. Where's the staff?!
Look, calm down. I think
maybe you need to focus?
I don't know where I am!
I always know that.
That's what I need to know.
Ray!
Come on, Ray.
Come up here!
I'm gonna solve this.
[ Crying ]
I'm gonna solve it right now.
I'm gonna solve it by myself.
[ Continues crying ]
[ Singsongy ] Here I go!
Rue and sun.
Here we go.
[ Continues crying ]
Ray, look, it's working!
[ Chiming ]
Ray.
Ray, look. Yeah.
Here comes the sun.
Yes! [ Chuckles ] Yes! Yes!
It's...
[ Chiming stops ]
Ohh!
It's not working.
[ Crying ]
Why isn't that working?
Sun and rue.
Ah... [ Sobbing ]
Sorrow...rue?
Sadness, rue?
Could it be that simple?
[ Chuckles ] Those clever
Sumerian bastards!
Come on! Get up here.
Oh, it doesn't matter.
We're already defeated.
Come on. Come on.
It's a metaphor.
The Sumerians were poets.
To them, the sun was hope.
I'm feeling very hopeful,
so that's why this is glowing.
"Rue" means sorrow,
what you're feeling right now.
This is an eye.
How does an eye show sadness?

You scared, Ray.
Just try to take
a deep breath.
Okay, elements, elements.
What's the next element?
Look at you.
You seem like
you're having fun.
Do I? Well,
I love ancient temples.
You see, the whole thing
with temples is,

Just relax, enjoy yourself.
Okay.
You went first last time.

Yes, uh, Mr. Stone.

Traps are
Flynn's department.
Must be some sort
of reset interval.
Uh...uh...
Uh...oh, yeah, I'm gonna ask
you a couple of questions.
No! I don't have any answers.
I'm hollow!
That's why I need the staff.
That's why I need you!
Yes, and I need you! We need
each other to get through this.
Uh, Ray, do you see, uh, any
raised circles on your wall?
Yeah, two. No, four.
Okay, those are dials.
When I say so,

Oh!

Let's go get the staff.
Okay.
Holy crap, that was scary.
Wait, that's it?
I thought it'd be more --
Bigger.
Mm.
Maybe we have to...touch it.
Yeah, maybe that.
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
Just make sure
there are no more traps
in this room.
I don't think there are any.
And you'd be quite right
about that.
All the traps are behind us.
Moriarty.
Eve, look out! Moriarty!
I know. He's with me.
Wait. What?
Wait, how did you guys get --
wait. What?!
You had a team-up with him?
I...had to find you
and warn you
that Ray is not just pulling
things from the Library.
He --
Is the Library.
Pretty sure I was about to say
he's destroying it.
He -- he is the Library?
The spirit of it.
[ Electricity crackles ]
I think it got pulled free
when we brought it back
from the void.
But yeah, that sweet,
affable guy is the Library.
Wait. You had a team-up
with him?
So you're not
in any danger, then?
[ Ray groaning ]
No, not anymore. We just came
to get his memory fixed
and then --
You call that fixed, then?
This looks worse.
Aah!
This could not be worse.
Aah!

Miss Cillian, all of you,

goes out,
the Library will grab hold
of the greatest source of life

you here alone, in the dark,
you're...
I don't know what you are,

A noble sacrifice, Duchess.
Once again,
you rise in my esteem.
Are you still here?
You're the villain.
Shouldn't you just
be running away somewhere?
All that information,
all that power?
Bound to burn out any mortal
who handles it.
Don't you see
the solution yet?
Moriarty, wanna sh--
By jove,
I think he's finally got it.
It's the only way.
Ray...
Give the staff to Moriarty.
Aah!
No! It's what he wants!
He's immortal. He's fictional.
It's the only way.
He planned this!
You know he did!
It doesn't matter.
Ray, I'm the Librarian.

We gotta do this now.
Okay.

Hmm.

It's good to have the team
back together.
You seem upset.
I just feel like we didn't

I mean, really talk.
You're the only one who has
a frame of reference
for my life,
and I just want you to know
what you've meant to me.
I already know.
You need to stop Prospero.
He's more dangerous now

Yeah, but I have

I can't answer everything
for you.
Besides...
The journey is more important
than the destination.
And you, my friend, are about
to go on an amazing adventure.
[ Exhales deeply ]
Okay.

It would be great if you could

Yeah, it would be great

"The eye of Zarathustra

Mr. Jenkins, you're...back.
Yes, from the thrilling
adventure that was
the Library's
secondary subbasement.
The Xenobia wing is down there,
which is extremely odd
considering that
for the past five centuries,
the Xenobia wing has...
[ Loudly ] Been in the attic.
Wait, how does a room move
from an attic to a basement?
Precisely.
A room should have the decency
to stay in one place.
Ah! How is the communication
pendant working?
Oh, it's -- it's good. It's just
a little pitchy, but it's --
Hello!
Breaking and entering here!

"Cast of endless sands,"
sand used to make glass.

The Eye of Zarathustra
is a glass globe,
making it officially...
The 73rd thing to disappear...
[ Loudly ] from this Library!
So how'd this wing-nut
billionaire
with interesting taste
end up with this thing, anyway?
Well, his e-mails to his lawyer
say somebody just showed up
and donated it
to his collection...
for safekeeping.
Yeah,
I cracked his e-mails.
So you buy that?
It's the key to lost knowledge,
mate.
If Prospero did steal it,
he went to a lot of trouble
just to give it away.
Maybe this is some sort
of a deep game.
Any information
on the alleged donor?
No. I haven't
found anything out yet.

To gain access
to the Eye of Zarathustra,
of course.
Hey!
Jenkins is trying to get
the communication stones
to work.
Copper. That is
a very interesting choice.
Wait. What are you doing here?
I thought we decided that
you would get to the bottom
of Prospero's plan
while I went around
and gathered up
all the artifacts we don't
want him to get his hands on.
We did not agree,
and that is a goal, not a plan.
Wow.
This is usually a lot more
banter-y than argue-y,
this thing that we do.
But we're way over here

And yet, here we are,
on the same ground, because...
We didn't check in with...

You're here because --
Because the Eye of Zarathustra
is allegedly
a map to
the Staff of Zarathustra.
Okay, stop showing off
that you how to pronounce
"Zara..."
Zarathustra.

all those mysteries never s--
Judson?
I-I don't remember
any of that.
Okay, okay. With me.
I mean, the years
we spent together.
11 years. We've been through
a lot together.
Aah! [ Inhales sharply ]
Look, I...
I don't remember Judson.
I don't remember us.
It just hurts.
My head, okay?
[ Grunts ]
That's why you need
the Staff of Knowledge,
to get your memory back.
And the longer that we wait,
the longer that we're
separated, the worse this...
No, no.
I'm gonna help you.
We're gonna find the staff.
You will?
Yeah. Together.
We'll take our check.
And a milkshake to go.
No, no, you've had enough.
Just the check.
Come on.
[ Groans ]
One more milkshake.
What the hell are you doin',
Jenkins?
We gotta get back out there
and find Baird.
Wherever she is,
it's certainly safer than here.
We have a bigger problem.
The Library is dying.
The Library can't be dying.
Buildings aren't alive.
Really, Mr. Jones?
After all the time
you've spent in it,
haven't you learned anything
about the Library?
It's origami.
Folds inside folds
inside folds,
all adding up to two parts --
the infinite folding space,
the body of the Library...
And the other part is what?
It's the operating system?
Intelligence, yes,
that organizes the space,
defends it.
The Spirit of the Library,
for lack of a better term.
[ Clattering ]
So you're saying that when
the Library came back,
its spirit was stripped
by Glasney?
Yeah, well, either that
or the trauma
of its return from the void
left it vulnerable
to a powerful predator.
Whoever Ray Glasney is,
he has left the Library
without nourishment.
The Library eats now?
[ Sighs ] Yes, Mr. Jones,
and what it is eating
is itself.
That's what --
all these shadows,
that's what they are.
And when it goes
completely dark,
the Library is dead.
Which brings us to...
[ Exhales ]
The ghost lights.
[ Sighs ]
Beautiful
and mechanically inclined.
[ Cocks gun ]
I do prefer you modern women.
Now, now, Duchess,
we've been over this.
You can't kill me with that.
Five seconds.
Make your point,
or bye-bye, knees.
Simple arithmetic --
you wish to find
your Mr. Carsen,
I wish to find the staff
for my...employer.
We're heading in
the same direction. QED.
again with the QED.
I can find him on my own.
Ah, yes. But I'll wager
that Ariel
can find him faster.
[ Whirring ]
Now you need a guide,
Duchess,
and I...need transportation.
I have not yet, I'm afraid,
learned how to drive.
Why should I trust you?
Because I am under duress.
You know I was summoned
and serve Prospero
against my will.
We find your Mr. Carsen
and the Staff of Knowledge,
we use some of this knowledge
to break the spell
Prospero has over me,
make me a free man.
You'd betray him?
If you don't trust my virtue,
trust my self-interest.
[ Sighs deeply ]
Smashing.
And we get to spend
a bit of time together.
Ah.
You're not as charming
as you think you are.
[ Scoffs ]
I'm precisely as charming
as I believe I am,
to the decimal place.
[ Taps door ]
[ Brakes squeal, gears shift ]
[ Engine turns off,
door closes ]
Well, you seem better.
I mean, you look, uh...
[ Claps hands ]
This is good.
I have to tell you,
I just have so many questions
for you, though.
Do you know what happened
to the 10 missing Librarians?
And you know that -- that locked
room in the sub-subbasement,
what is in there?
I thought maybe it's a Kraken.
Jenkins says it's a Grendel.
I don't remember any of that!
I don't remember anything.
That's why we're here.
Well, not here,
but someplace close.
There!
Nope. Over there.
Down here!
Ray!
Down there?
Nearly there.
I still can't believe it.
I mean, the Library
in human form.
I believe I'm the only
Librarian in history
to ever get a chance to talk
to the Library in person.
Ray, look at me
and tell me that you don't
remember anything.
Not even one little thing?
I don't remember anything.
Okay, that's -- this is --
yeah, good.
But tell me,
why are we stopped here?
I don't know.
What I do know is, this...
This is exactly where
we're supposed to be.
What? No.
[ Chiming ]
This way!
Ghost lights sit
in every theater
in the Western world.
They absorb all of the emotions,
all of the life expressed there.
When they're full of life,
they come here.
Activate these bulbs,
the Library will feed off
of their life energy,
stay alive long enough for
Mr. Carsen and Colonel Baird
to find and stop Glasney.
What are you not telling us,
Mr. Jenkins?
Oh.
Quite a lot, I suspect.
Over the next ridge,
at least.
[ Clicks ]
Come now, Duchess.
No need to be so stiff.
I wager you'll quite like me
once you scratch below
the surface.
[ Scoffs ] Well...
First... [ Clears throat ]
I'm kind of seeing someone.
"Kind of"? Hmm.
Am seeing someone
who's not fictional.
Second, I'm not really
in the bad guy business.
"Bad guy"? Relative term.
Holmes and I were
almost partners, you know?
Uh-huh. He turned you down?
No.
No, I didn't want to
work with him.
You've read the stories --
never settling,
flitting from case to case.
Always running --
running, running from himself,
running from boredom.
No, I wanted
to build something.
Oh, you built
a criminal empire.
Because that's all
they would let me build.
I ask you, what would you do
if they wouldn't let you
breathe?
If they wouldn't let you
open any door?
You would make your own.
Precisely.
Both your world and mine,
there are those of us who run
and those who build.
You and I?
We're planners. Strategists.
We're builders,
in for the long haul.
What type is your Mr. Carsen,
pray tell?
[ Grunts ]
This is it!
It should be here.
The temple should be right here.
Where is it?
Yeah,
I'm...starting to think
that maybe walking through
the Pennsylvania woods --
not the best way to find
an ancient Sumerian temple.
Why isn't it here?
It's gotta be here somewhere!
It's just trees and rocks
and moss and --
I don't need a forest. I need
a staff. Where's the staff?!
Look, calm down. I think
maybe you need to focus?
I don't know where I am!
I always know that.
That's what I need to know.
Ray!
Come on, Ray.
Come up here!
I'm gonna solve this.
[ Crying ]
I'm gonna solve it right now.
I'm gonna solve it by myself.
[ Continues crying ]
[ Singsongy ] Here I go!
Rue and sun.
Here we go.
[ Continues crying ]
Ray, look, it's working!
[ Chiming ]
Ray.
Ray, look. Yeah.
Here comes the sun.
Yes! [ Chuckles ] Yes! Yes!
It's...
[ Chiming stops ]
Ohh!
It's not working.
[ Crying ]
Why isn't that working?
Sun and rue.
Ah... [ Sobbing ]
Sorrow...rue?
Sadness, rue?
Could it be that simple?
[ Chuckles ] Those clever
Sumerian bastards!
Come on! Get up here.
Oh, it doesn't matter.
We're already defeated.
Come on. Come on.
It's a metaphor.
The Sumerians were poets.
To them, the sun was hope.
I'm feeling very hopeful,
so that's why this is glowing.
"Rue" means sorrow,
what you're feeling right now.
This is an eye.
How does an eye show sadness?

Shouldn't we go faster?
Ah. "Unreasonable haste
is the road to error."
Judson used to say that.
Okay.
[ Arrows whoosh ]
Whoa! Jeez.
Okay.
So there's only one path.
Some of them are safe.
[ Arrows whoosh ]
Whoa! Oh! [ Grunts ]
Or not.
Daedalus built something
like this.
[ Gears clank ]
Oh, you hear that?
Reset interval.
Sloppy Sumerian trapwork.
Okay, here's how
this is gonna work --
I'm gonna jump forward and then
jump back to avoid the arrow,
and then jump forward again
on the reset.
You do the exact same thing,
and it'll never have a chance
to reset...
Once we do the first one.
Ready?
No.
Okay. Here we go.
[ Arrows whoosh ]
Whoa!
Jeez.

Oh, okay.

I appreciate your zeal,
Duchess.
Just let little Ariel
ferret out --
keep it in your pants,
English.
They went this way.
Stay close.
[ Clicks ]
Ever my intention, Duchess.
My heart, it's beatin' so fast,
and my skin's all wet.
What's happening?
You scared, Ray.
Just try to take
a deep breath.
Okay, elements, elements.
What's the next element?
Look at you.
You seem like
you're having fun.
Do I? Well,
I love ancient temples.
You see, the whole thing
with temples is,
you just kinda
gotta get into
the spirit of the fun
of the whole thing.
Just relax, enjoy yourself.
Okay.
You went first last time.
My turn.
Wait! Ray! Ray!
[ Whoosh ]
That's my last one.
Now what?
Now nothing.
Mr. Stone.
[ Whoosh ]
That's it. It's done.
At the rate they're going,
we only have a few minutes left.
And then what, huh?
Jenkins? Tell me you got
a plan "B."
Yes, uh, Mr. Stone.
I do.
[ Flames whoosh ]
RAY: Aah! Aah!
Fire! Of course
that's the next element.
Ray!
Aah!
Ray!
Aah!
Ray?
Aah!
Ray, can you stop shouting
so I can figure this out?
[ Flames whooshing ]
Okay, let me
figure this out now.
[ Arrows whoosh ]
[ Grunts ]
Traps are
Flynn's department.
Must be some sort
of reset interval.
Uh...uh...
Uh...oh, yeah, I'm gonna ask
you a couple of questions.
No! I don't have any answers.
I'm hollow!
That's why I need the staff.
That's why I need you!
Yes, and I need you! We need
each other to get through this.
Uh, Ray, do you see, uh, any
raised circles on your wall?
Yeah, two. No, four.
Okay, those are dials.
When I say so,
turn the bottom two
two clicks to the left.
Okay?
Yeah.
Ready? Go!
[ Click ]
[ Flames whooshing ]
Good. Now the top two.
Ready? Go!
[ Clank, flames whoosh ]
[ Laughs ]
We did it!
We did it?
[ Laughs ]
Hey! We're a team!
Oh!
Library, Librarian --
that's how it works.
Let's go get the staff.
Okay.
Holy crap, that was scary.
Wait, that's it?
I thought it'd be more --
Bigger.
Mm.
Maybe we have to...touch it.
Yeah, maybe that.
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
Just make sure
there are no more traps
in this room.
I don't think there are any.
And you'd be quite right
about that.
All the traps are behind us.
Moriarty.
Eve, look out! Moriarty!
I know. He's with me.
Wait. What?
Wait, how did you guys get --
wait. What?!
You had a team-up with him?
I...had to find you
and warn you
that Ray is not just pulling
things from the Library.
He --
Is the Library.
Pretty sure I was about to say
he's destroying it.
He -- he is the Library?
The spirit of it.
[ Electricity crackles ]
I think it got pulled free
when we brought it back
from the void.
But yeah, that sweet,
affable guy is the Library.
Wait. You had a team-up
with him?
So you're not
in any danger, then?
[ Ray groaning ]
No, not anymore. We just came
to get his memory fixed
and then --
You call that fixed, then?
This looks worse.
Aah!
This could not be worse.
Aah!
[ Screaming ]
Flynn, it's coming back to me!
[ Rumbling ]
Every law, every theorem...
[ Rumbling continues ]
All the lost languages,
and the songs of Sumeria,
every poem and story
and novel in every language
ever written!
Aah!
But it's too much!
Aah! It hurts!
What's happening to him?!
He's overloading!
There's too much power!
Too many memories are
coming back!
I think one of us will
have to go over there.
[ Screaming ]
[ Debris falling ]
One of you will have to go
over there!
You have to go back
to the Library, Ray.
Just let go off the staff.
No! It's too powerful!
It'll backlash through
the ley lines!
Someone has to take it!
[ Whooshes ]
CASSANDRA: It's accelerating.
Miss Cillian, all of you,
it's time for you to go.
When the last ghost light
goes out,
the Library will grab hold
of the greatest source of life
it can find, and that's me.
That's your plan "b,"
to let this place eat you?
If you think we're gonna leave
you here alone, in the dark,
you're...
I don't know what you are,
but we're not doing that.
Well, Cassandra, it's the math.
I'm immortal -- semi.
You're not. My life can keep
this going longer --
Dude, we're not doing it.
Actually, I might consider it.
It's getting pretty dark
in here.
[ Whoosh ]
[ Crackling continues ]
[ Screaming ]
Give it to me! I'll take it.
No! It'll kill you!
The Library cannot kill
a librarian.
Then me!
It's my job, Flynn.
A noble sacrifice, Duchess.
Once again,
you rise in my esteem.
Are you still here?
You're the villain.
Shouldn't you just
be running away somewhere?
All that information,
all that power?
Bound to burn out any mortal
who handles it.
Don't you see
the solution yet?
Moriarty, wanna sh--
By jove,
I think he's finally got it.
It's the only way.
Ray...
Give the staff to Moriarty.
Aah!
No! It's what he wants!
He's immortal. He's fictional.
It's the only way.
He planned this!
You know he did!
It doesn't matter.
Ray, I'm the Librarian.
Give Moriarty the staff.
[ Crackling continues ]
[ Grunting ]
Aah!
[ Crackling subsides ]
Can't die like other men.
[ Inhales sharply ]
Doesn't mean it doesn't hurt.
[ Breathing heavily ]
Meant every word I said,
Duchess.
You remember that.
Ray, say something.
I remember.
You remember the Library?
I remember Judson.
[ Chuckles ]
[ Exhales ]
Wise and brave
and kind Judson.
Your true father.
A-and I remember Charlene.
Funny and tough
and loving Charlene.
Do you, uh...
Do you remember me?
[ Chuckles softly ]
Of course I do, Flynn.
You're my best friend.
[ Chuckles ]
[ Grunts ] Aah!
Uh, okay, we gotta get you
back to the Library.
Come on.
[ Grunts ]
It's the last one.
Yes, but -- this is moronic.
You can't all stay.
I offered to go.
Problem with you lot is --
[ Whoosh, powers down ]
STONE:
Jenkins, what's going on?
JENKINS: I have no idea.
We should all be --
[ Powers up ]
But --
Ah! Ha!
FLYNN: Whose idea was
the ghost lamps? That's...
Flynn!
Colonel Baird!
Hey, everybody.
Guys.
Hello, Jenkins.
Very pleased to see
you're both still alive.
Well, we had a little help.
Ray?
I'd like you all to meet...
Ray,
the Spirit of the Library.
Ray,
these are the Librarians.
Hello.
I'm sorry. How...
How is that possible?
Kind of a long story.
Which we
don't have time for.
She's right.
We gotta do this now.
Okay.
Um, uh, uh...
Hmm.
[ Grunts ]
It's good to have the team
back together.
You seem upset.
I just feel like we didn't
really get a chance to talk.
I mean, really talk.
You're the only one who has
a frame of reference
for my life,
and I just want you to know
what you've meant to me.
I already know.
You need to stop Prospero.
He's more dangerous now
than ever.
Yeah, but I have
so many questions.
I can't answer everything
for you.
Besides...
The journey is more important
than the destination.
And you, my friend, are about
to go on an amazing adventure.
[ Exhales deeply ]
Okay.
No questions.
Will I get
to talk to you again?
[ Chuckles ] You talk to me
all the time.
And you don't have to yell.
I can hear you.
[ Huffs ]
I don't know how
to say goodbye.
No need.
I'll be here,
where I've always been,
where I'll always be.

The Library wants me to go
