The Librarians (2014–2018): Season 4, Episode 12 - And the Echoes of Memory - full transcript

If Martin Luther had had his way,
bowling would be called platzbahnkegeln,

and there would
only be nine pins,

but since we are socially conditioned
to finding order in sets of 10...

Why am I talking to you?

Flynn.

Nicole.

I thought you left.

I did.

I want you to come with me.

- (SIGHS)
- Look, you've already packed.

Nicole, when you told me
that I should fight against



being a prisoner of
this place, I realized...

I'm not a prisoner
of this place.

The Library pushes me forward,

it doesn't hold me back.

Like Baird.

- Baird?
- Baird.

To whom I owe a bowling date,

and with whom I intend
to tether to the Library.

I don't want to be
uncertain anymore.

I love the Library
and I love Baird.

And I'm ready.

I see.

I'm sorry.

You know, I wish...



No, I'm sorry.

I should have specified...

I wasn't asking.

(THEME MUSIC PLAYING)

(BREATHING HEAVILY)

MAN (OVER PA):
Respect the company.

The company respects you.

You must remember the
Library or it'll be gone forever.

MAN (OVER PA): Don't
dissent. Be complacent. Be happy.

Flynn's tethering ring.

I remember Flynn
from the Library.

How do you hold something as
big as the Library in your head?

Flynn keeps everything
in his head using, um...

A memory palace.

(EXCLAIMS) I did it!

I'm here!

Okay, I just have to
focus on specific things

and everything else will
fill into place around it.

Okay. (BREATHING HEAVILY)

The Spear of Destiny!

Yes!

Okay. And then...

Um...

Here, kitty, kitty, kitty.

The Lions! The Lions!

Yeah. (EXCLAIMS)

And right there is...

That's the, um... The Ark...

The Ark of the Covenant! Yes!

I remember it.

I remember it all.

Okay.

Okay, I did it.

So where are you, Flynn?

Where am I gonna find you?

Okay.

Let's go find a TV.

Fat and Flour?

That all they serve?

What else is there?

HOST: It's the I
Fell Down! show!

Because everyone falls down.

The only entertainment
you'll ever need.

(ALL LAUGHING)

And now, here's your host...

(POWER SURGING)

Eve.

Flynn? Flynn, where are
you? What's going on?

To answer your first
question, no, I can't hear you.

- That wasn't my...
- This is a recording.

I've transmitted it directly into
the glass of my tethering ring,

where it's stored kind
of like a hard drive.

And if you're seeing
this, that means

that you've found the
ring and that Nicole is close

to completing her goal.

Eve, brace yourself.

Nicole is evil.

- Ya think?
- FLYNN: Da, da, da, da, da!

Before you go and defend her,

she hit me on the
head and kidnapped me.

Her plan is to get us
to abandon the Library.

With it being untethered,
it would create a world

not only where the
Library ceases to exist,

but where it has never existed.

But how does the
Library never existing

make it so food doesn't have
flavor or color doesn't exist?

As you know, the
Library is much more

than a storehouse for artifacts.

It is where we
keep our knowledge.

And without the
Library, that knowledge

would cease to have any
value, it would have no place.

All intellect, all curiosity
would become worthless.

I cannot even imagine what it's like
where you are right now in that world.

What is it like?

I mean, it's a little...

I keep forgetting, this a
recording. I can't hear you.

Anyway, to get our world back,

you need to hold onto your
memories of the Library.

Your new reality is gonna
try and wipe out the old,

so you're gonna need to build
what's called a "memory palace."

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I already
did that. Skip ahead, skip ahead.

But you're very smart, you
probably already did that.

Aw sweetie. Thank you.

You need to find
me before you forget.

And the others.

It will take all of us together
to get the Library back.

How? (GROANS)

I don't even know
where to begin.

She's coming. I have to go!

HOST: We'll be back
after these messages.

Hey, do you need a way to
get from one place to another?

Do you want to do that in a car?

Come on down to The
Company's Used Car,

where every car is
perfectly average.

Come on down and see me,

Jacob Stone.

Well, that's one place to start.

Spear.

Lions. Kitty, kitty, kitty.

Ark.

(SIGHS)

(INDISTINCT CONVERSATION)

- Stone!
- Oh, hello, little lady.

- Can I help you?
- I...

Of course I can.

No one can choose
between these fine cars

without a little of assistance.

Let me ask you a question,
how do you feel about brown?

I don't really feel anything.

Well, that's exactly
right. You're not meant to.

This is perfect for
basic conveyance.

Do you remember me?

- Should I?
- Think, Stone.

We used to work together
with a group of amazing people

who do incredible things.

Do you have any memory of that?

Listen, lady, I don't
know what you're...

I'm talking about the Library.

The...

That was a dream.

You remember.

I've never told
anyone about that.

I've dreamt about that
since I was a little boy.

You...

You are the thought
police. I can't...

The what? No.

I can't be talking to
you right now, okay?

- Stone...
- I can get in trouble.

You are the world's leading
authority on art, architecture, history.

You've traveled the world
and dug up mummies,

and solved ancient puzzle boxes

that have stumped
scholars for centuries.

- This can't be real.
- It is.

It's not a dream.

You are not a used car
salesman, Jacob Stone. You?

You're a Librarian.

And if you come with
me, I'll prove it to you.

Okay. Yeah.

A test drive? Yeah, yeah.

We could do a test drive.

(VOICE OVER PA SYSTEM
ANNOUNCING INDISTINCTLY)

Yes.

- Yes, she's with him now.
- (ENGINE REVVING)

They're going someplace.

I don't know.

She just appeared
out of nowhere.

- Where are we going?
- To find the others.

Although I have no idea
where I might do that.

You can always look them
up in The Company directory.

Company directory?

Yeah, everyone, in one way or
another, works for The Company.

Me included.

Does this company have a name?

"The Company."

Creative.

What does The Company do?

You know, I never
thought to ask.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING)

Cillian!

Your stapling has fallen
off-center by an entire millimeter.

But I staple the NRW
report to the PDX report

in the exact same
spot every time.

Was your mind
wandering again, Cillian?

We don't want to have
to report a problem.

No, sir.

My stapling will be perfectly
centered from now on.

See that it is.

Your reports are backing up!

Cassandra.

How do you know my name?

We're here to help you.

I promise, my stapling
will be perfectly centered.

I don't need oversight.

That's not what I meant.

You look familiar.

Both of you.

Have we met before?

I think maybe.

In a dream.

Okay.

It's been nice talking to you.

- I need to get back to work.
- What? No, no.

I just saw it in your eyes.
You've had the dream!

Cassandra, it wasn't a dream.

It's a memory.

A memory of the Library.

I don't know any Library.

It's a place...

Um...

It's a place...

Right there was the...

What was it? It was...

Okay. Right there was...

Kitty, kitty, kitty.

The Lions.

And right there was the Ark!

Okay, I still have it.

I still have the Library.

Look, I can't have someone
who's dressed like the thought police

questioning me about a
library. I have a backup.

Hey, I get it.

I do.

If you don't do your part,

then everything stops, right?

- That's right.
- Right.

You don't have time
for anything else.

You don't have time for dreams.

Dreams about a place
with endless books,

amazing artifacts.

And stuff like this.

CASSANDRA: Give
that back, they'll see it.

What is it?

I don't know.

But it's beautiful.

COLONEL BAIRD: It is.

Cassandra, you're a
mathematical genius,

with a brain that can connect
Einstein's Theory of Relativity

to the smell of pancake syrup.

Come with us.

I...

No, I want to stay here
and keep doing my stapling.

I don't want anyone to
think that I'm a problem.

Too late for that.

Is there something I can
help you gentlemen with?

I haven't seen anything...
(CONTINUES INDISTINCTLY)

(WHISPERING) I can't
believe you did this to me.

Cassandra, quick question.

Is there another
way out of here?

We're looking for
Cassandra Cillian.

Her desk is right here.

We won't reach the
exit without being seen.

(PAPER CRUMPLING)

I got this.

(RUMBLING)

Go!

What is that?

The tubes are jammed!

She stapled off-center!

Oh, no! No, no, no!

This is not my fault.
This is not my fault!

AGENT: This way!

This way.

All right.

That should hold them.

- That was close.
- Now we just need to find Ezekiel.

- Ezekiel?
- Ezekiel Jones.

Do you know him?

Welcome back to
the I Fell Down! show

- with your host, Ezekiel Jones!
- (CLAPPING)

Thank you! Thank you!

You're too... Oh!

Oops, I fell down! (LAUGHING)

Now, our last entry tonight
comes from Tom and Gary.

And let's just hope
this one doesn't fall flat.

(AUDIENCE LAUGHING)

COLONEL BAIRD:
Delivery for Jones.

MAN: I'll take those.

I'm all for a good pratfall,
but an entire show?

This is the only show.

Are you sure Ezekiel
Jones is a Librarian?

I mean, he's the most famous
person in the whole world!

(LAUGHING)

I think he's better
looking in person.

How are we gonna get to
him with all these people?

I have an idea.

Tom, how could you do
that to Gary? (LAUGHS)

Well, that's our show for
tonight, ladies and gentlemen.

Make sure you come back next
time for everybody's favorite segment,

"Hey! You Startled Me!"

- Good night!
- (ALL CLAPPING)

- And cut!
- (BELL RINGING)

Great work, Ezekiel, as always.

As always? You know I was
trying something new, right?

Why on Earth would you
want to do something new?

Now, here's your script
for tomorrow's show,

and your itinerary for the week.

Is it any different
from last week's?

Of course not.

- I can't believe it's him!
- I think you're right,

he is handsomer in person!

I'm sorry, do I know you?

Folks, you really
shouldn't be...

Listen, we would like
to submit our audition.

If you leave it with me, I'll...

No, we want to
audition in person!

- Yeah!
- Yeah!

We want to make sure that it's
100% before we put it down on camera.

- Right...
- So you walk in and then...

Oh.

Or maybe more classic, like...

(EXCLAIMS)

That's fantastic.

Um... Unfortunately,
I actually have to go,

but my producer Rachel here
can answer any of your questions.

You guys are natural fallers.

If you put these
falls on tape...

I just wanna... We want to
make sure that it's perfect, though.

What about this? Whoa.

Also, I can go forward like...

Whoa! (GIGGLING)

(STOPWATCH TICKING)

What's your best time?

Who are you and how
did you get in here?

The Ezekiel Jones I know can
pick a lock like that in two seconds.

Yeah, well, I am two seconds
away from calling security.

You don't want to be a
problem now, do you?

You've been having
dreams, right?

What if I told you
those dreams were real?

Dreams are illegal.

It's a big room,

filled with...

Filled with...

Books?

Yes.

Books.

It's a real place.

It's called the...

It's called the...

No, that's missing.

No, what's there?
That's missing, too?

Oh, no, no, no.

Kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty...

The Lions!

The Lions are still there.

I still have it.

(GASPING) It's the Library!

Ezekiel, there is a life
that is better than this.

No, better than this?

No, no, I am the host

of the I Fell Down!
Show. I want for nothing!

That doesn't mean you
don't want something else.

Ezekiel you've got to come
help me, these people are...

Who's this?

Call security!

She's here to kidnap me!

Really, Jones?

There she is.

- What's she doing?
- I don't know.

We got to get out of here.

Let's go.

(GASPING)

Let me out!

Let me out!

WOMAN: I'm afraid not.

You're in my world now.

And I happily run it.

This little

anti-alternate reality charm

means I get to keep my memory

while the rest of
the world goes blind.

And in the land of the blind,

the one-eyed man is king.

You're...

The head of The Company?

I gave you a chance.

You could have lived
peacefully like your friends.

But you had to be a problem.

Trying to remember.

Remember, remember.

I have to remember.

It's not...

I don't...

No, no, no, no, no.

It's all gone.

It's all gone.

NICOLE: You're not going
to like what happens next.

You should have just forgotten.

Who are you?

(CHUCKLES) Oh.

I see you already have.

(INDISTINCT MURMURING)

MAN (OVER PA): What
you already know is enough.

Stop wondering.

- Stop worrying.
- (MAN CLAPS)

(GASPS, SOBS)

Medication makes you happy.

Take all medication as
instructed by The Company staff.

Then I wondered,

"Who figured out
how to grind flour?

"And why?"

And then I found my mind was
chewing on the question for days

and imagining the
possible scenarios...

NURSE: Stop right there.

I know the lure of
imagination is strong,

but every time you feel
curiosity sneaking up on you,

just remember, what you
already know is enough.

ALL: Remember,

what I already know is enough.

Remember...

(MAN OVER PA
CONTINUES INDISTINCTLY)

EZEKIEL (ON TV): Ooh! He
took a serious nose dive there!

And I hope he is
rewarded with some sliders.

(LAUGHING)

I'm just curious.

Aren't you? What
about telephonics?

What about language?
How did that evolve?

Don't you want to know?
What does fruit taste like?

(SCREAMING) Don't
you want to know?

Poor woman.

Terminal case of
curiosity, if I ever saw one.

And I should know.

He's funny. I like
him, in spite of myself.

Hello. You're new.

New,

like you haven't
been here before.

Well, I haven't
been here very long.

Not haven't been here, but...

Haven't been here in
the gray, in the paste.

There's too much color
to you, too much bright.

Are you from the
same words as me?

"The same words"?

Yeah, we define
our world with words.

Chair, couch, TV.
Well, those are letters.

But everything else has a name,

has a purpose, has a beauty.

Judson is a name,
Jenkins is a name,

Charlene is a name. Those are
names that carry on in my head.

What's yours?

Eve.

- Eve Baird.
- Eve.

Like the moment
of change in the day.

Eve, I think that you could
really bring some changes here.

I'm Flynn.

Or patient 642, if you like.

(LAUGHING)

Have we met before?

Not in this place.

And I don't get out much.

You're nice.

And cute.

And completely crazy.

Well, two out of
three ain't bad.

I like your yellow
and your smile.

And you remind me of something
that I don't want to forget.

Forget...

I have this feeling there's
something I'm supposed to remember

but I don't know
what it is, it's all fuzzy.

I remember, I
remember what you don't.

I remember my memory.

They keep trying to
take little pieces of it,

but I have the whole.

And that's what keeps it alive.

Keeps what alive?

- Hold that thought.
- Hey, what are you doing?

- What?
- You're not supposed to be here.

Ah!

Eve, if you want to
remember, find me.

MAN: You know
what this means, right?

You're gonna have
to go for a reset.

Gentlemen! Surely
we can negotiate.

Hello. Goodbye.

And extend!

And dance with me!

(SHRIEKING)

Over here.

Now I'm over here!

Now, I'm up here!

In the tush!

(LAUGHING)

Hup!

Patient number 642!

- 642!
- (COLONEL BAIRD LAUGHS)

(VOICE OVER PA SYSTEM
CONTINUES INDISTINCTLY)

Be gentle with me,
I'm a delicate soul.

He got out again?

Do you know how dangerous it is

for him to be in the general
population, especially now?

He wouldn't be a problem
if you would allow me

to implement a more
permanent treatment.

No.

He just needs another reset.

Then everything will be fine.

Right, Flynn?

You just need a little help
letting go of your old reality

and accepting the new one.

(GRUNTS)

And once you let go,

it will be gone completely.

Yeah, you don't
have to do this, Nicole.

This is silly. I'll be
good. I'll be good.

I know you will.

Now, bite down.

- (DEVICE BUZZING)
- (FLYNN GROANING)

Well, folks, I better wrap things
up before I slip up. (LAUGHS)

Good night, ladies
and gentlemen.

DIRECTOR: And cut.

(BELL RINGING)

What are they doing here?

We don't need them. They
already took the lady away.

They just want to make
sure nothing else will happen.

What did she want
with you anyway?

Nothing. It was just nonsense.

What did she say?

If she said anything
suspicious to you,

you should tell them.

Because as long as they are
here, they're disrupting the show.

And The Company needs
the show to run smoothly.

Even if that means
getting a new host.

(VOICE OVER PA SYSTEM
CONTINUES INDISTINCTLY)

- Hi there!
- (GASPS) What are you doing here?

- Kidnapping you.
- (CAR DOOR OPENS, CLOSES)

Company Men are
just behind that door.

All I have to do is scream.

JACOB: Yeah, but
you're not going to.

'Cause they might start wondering
why you're attracting so much attention.

If they haven't already.

I can't go with you, okay?

I have a great life and
I don't want to ruin it!

Don't you guys
have your own lives?

Ever since I went with Baird,

I'm starting to think this
life is less and less real.

Come on, man, you
really want The Company

watching you so closely?

Your life can't possibly be
as good as you pretend it is.

(SCOFFS) And how could
you be so sure, Cassandra?

Because I know you.

I can feel it.

Because you know me, too. And...

Because I didn't
tell you my name.

All right, what do
you want me to do?

Help us rescue Baird.

(ELEVATOR BELL DINGS)

(ELEVATOR BELL DINGS)

Sub-basement six.

(INDISTINCT
ANNOUNCEMENTS OVER PA)

Hello?

Flynn?

What is this?

A sword.

And a myth. A sword myth.

Hey, it's you, the new one.

I saw them drag you down here.

Yes, they do that.

200 milliamperes
right into my noggin!

But, fortunately, I knew
that they wanted my dreams,

so I fortified myself,

and built up a resistance.

My dreams aren't
gone, just rearranged.

Do you like my friend?

- Your friend the sword?
- My friend the sword!

He taught me how
to parry and thrust!

These are all my
friends and family.

I feel like...

- I've been here.
- You have. And you haven't.

It's very confusing when
you jump the parallel.

How did you draw
me if we've never met?

The answer to that is in
the question, Eve Baird.

We know each other.

We've been in this place
with the books, together.

That's where I go in my dreams.

It's really nice...

In the Library.

The Library.

- Yes!
- Yes!

She tries to take it from me,

but I fight it, so I put
everything down here

in case she ever was
able to cleave it out.

Somebody else can find
it and they can build it.

- Do you want to see my favorite one?
- Yeah.

This one here.

They look like they're bursting.

I've never felt that way.

Until I saw you.

You're nice.

And cute.

And completely crazy.

Flynn!

- It's you.
- Eve, you found me.

I knew that you would.

I missed you.

You left.

I didn't mean to.

And I'm never leaving
you or the Library again.

(DOOR OPENS)

(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING)

I have been very
patient with you, Flynn.

I've been kind enough
to let you live, Baird.

And this is how you repay me?

By trusting our own memories?

Getting our minds back?

Your mind is not back.

It simply wasn't
zapped hard enough.

No amount of zapping is
gonna make us forget, Nicole.

When I first met you, you
introduced me to the Library

and it opened up
continents for me,

as it does for
anybody, everybody,

whether they know it or not.

I'm sorry that you feel
like it betrayed you,

but the world needs
a Library, Nicole.

No, the world doesn't
need the Library.

Which is good, because
the world will never have it.

Doctor.

Does number 642
need to be reset again?

No.

Remember that permanent
procedure you mentioned?

- Do it.
- (GASPS)

To both of them.

(MAN OVER PA SYSTEM
ANNOUNCING INDISTINCTLY)

All right, there's like a
half a dozen guards there.

So how do we get in?

I don't know! It's not
like I've done this before.

Actually, I have a feeling
that we have done this before.

The three of us, together.

So how do we do it?

I remem...

I remember you know
things about architecture.

That's right, you do!

- Right?
- Yeah.

But how exactly is that
gonna help us get in?

Wait, wait, wait, wait.

Judging by the
foundation of this building,

it was built in the
middle of the last century.

Which means the
utility rooms were built

on the side of the building,
instead of the middle.

We go around that corner,
through the door, I guarantee you

it's a utility room. We go
through the utility room,

less chance for guards
being on the other side.

That's great.

How do we deal with
the guards on this side?

- You!
- Me?

Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

You do this thing with
numbers and your hands,

- and you figure stuff out.
- With the... That's you!

- With my hands?
- Yeah.

(GASPS)

Holy moly.

What do you see?

Everything.

Connections, numerals,
angles, physics.

Timing.

(GASPS)

The average male walking
stride length is 30 inches.

Average pace,
3.1 miles per hour.

The pivot ratio is 270 degrees,

and this building has a
footprint of 1,596 square feet.

Which means we have 43
seconds until they come back around.

Come on!

Some sort of alarm system.

Looks like I'm up.

Do you have any
idea what you're doing?

Not a single clue.

- (CRACKLING)
- Oh!

(SCOFFS) I'm good.

You're definitely something. Go.

Stone, what are you doing?

I'm just...

- What?
- It doesn't feel...

What?

- (GUN COCKS)
- GUARD: Hold it right there!

Identify yourselves.

We're the Librarians.

Of course. Carry on.

Okay, why did that work?

- I have no idea.
- I have no idea.

Hey, guys, what's this
permanent treatment?

A girl could really use
some advanced warning.

Don't worry.

They don't drill holes
in your skull anymore.

They do it through
the eye socket instead.

- Doc?
- That's right.

The eye socket is easier.

Uh, I can take over from here.

- You guys can go.
- Go?

- What are you...
- (MEN GRUNT)

Cassandra! Stone! Ezekiel!

Come on, let's get out of here.

Okay.

Wait, there's someone
I want you to meet first.

Oh, Flynn.

I'm so sorry this
had to happen to you.

I really am.

(GRUNTS)

Let's go.

Don't just stand
there. Go after them!

(ALARM BLARING)

(ALL CLAMORING)

- No!
- Retreat!

Back, back, back, back, back...

Go!

(DOOR OPENS)

Go, go!

This is not gonna hold forever!

All right, let's get
out of here then.

We're trapped.

(ALL CLAMORING)

There's no way out!

All right, there's not
a moment to lose.

We have to manifest the Library.

Here? In the insane asylum?

What better place than
where the curious end up?

We are the Library!

It lives and breathes inside
of each and every one of us.

Stone, it lives inside of
you because of your love

of art and history
and architecture.

Cassandra,

it lives inside of you because
of your love of science

and math and magic.

Ezekiel, you're a thief.

- Wait, that's it?
- That's it?

You are a thief, and
the Library needs you

because you know
the value of an artifact.

You know how to find it,

and you don't let
anyone get in your way,

not even me.

Out of my way!

No, you can't.

I won't let you.

(GRUNTS)

Flynn,

you are the heart and
the soul of the Library.

You've walked every
inch of it, every room.

You stand ready to
guard against evil,

ready to defend the place
you love with your last breath.

Kitty, kitty.
Kitty, kitty, kitty.

We don't have to go home.

We're already there.

I'm sorry!

No. No.

No!

The Library.

It's back.

JACOB: We're back!

Books! The Lions!

(EXCLAIMS) The jewels!

When we manifested the Library,

that reality disappeared.

This is... It's all
back to normal!

Mr. Jenkins!

Jenkins...

Not everything's back to normal.

Some things can't be fixed.

There's one more
thing that I need to do.

What is it?

This is the book
of Nicole's life.

Everything that she's
ever done is in here,

including when she went
back in time 500 years.

You want to rewrite history?

- You said it's too risky.
- I know.

But we are going to totally
ignore all of that advice.

All we need to do to
make that happen...

The Toaster of Albuquerque.

The Toaster? But Jenkins never
figured out what it really does,

other than burn
down national forests.

Jenkins may not have, but I did.

It's a portal, except it doesn't
lock on to a time and place,

it locks on to a person,
but not for very long.

So we need to find
where Nicole is in history

before time makes her dark.

- That's it.
- Flynn?

That's the exact moment
that Nicole went back in time.

Flynn?

- Flynn!
- Nicole! Nicole!

- Anybody?
- No, no, no. Can't lose it.

Look, according to this book,
that's when she became immortal.

(SIGHS)

Nicole, no!

I have to get to her before
the connection fades out.

I'll hold down the dial. Go.

Flynn?

Flynn, is that really you?

I almost made a
horrible mistake.

But I knew in my heart

you would always
come back for me.

That's not why I came.

What?

I came to right a wrong.

I never came back
for you the first time.

I couldn't. I was too
consumed with guilt and grief.

And I can't take you
back with me now.

Flynn, you'll have to hurry!

I'm sorry, this
isn't gonna hold.

Who is that?

My Guardian.

- Your Guardian?
- Yeah.

Flynn, what's going on?

You look older.

I know what you
were just about to do.

And I know why you
were going to do it.

And we still need you to do it.

Except this time,
for the right reason.

You are gonna
have an amazing life.

And a surprisingly long one,

full of adventure and loss and
triumph and it's all in this book.

And you have to do
everything that's in this book

to fulfill the prophecy,
only this time...

Do it for the Library,

not against it.

I always thought I
was your Guardian.

Now I know...

I'm the Library's Guardian.

COLONEL BAIRD: Flynn!

Goodbye, Nicole.

Flynn?

See you in 500 years.

(SWORD WHINING)

Five more minutes.

Ow!

(GASPS)

Wait.

We're back!

We're back where it all started!

Hey! Guys!

We're back at the Tethering
Ceremony Rehearsal Day!

Isn't it great?

Sure, man.

You don't remember.

It's just me.

Okay.

Where in time are you?

The ultimate battle
between good and evil.

Happened ages ago.

Well, weeks, at most.

Which is ages in today's culture.
Or don't you have a Twitter feed?

And the cornerstones?
The four cornerstones

of the Library of
Alexandria, where are they?

Here, in the Library,

where they've always been.

Then Nicole did it.

She rewrote history.

Did Cal hit you in the
head too hard last time

your guys were sparring?

Easy!

He's just catching up.

Eve.

You are more beautiful
than I remember,

and I have an excellent memory.

I think my memory
can match yours.

MAN: I apologize
for my tardiness.

You'd think, at
some point in history,

some Librarian would have
alphabetized our miscellaneous collection,

but no, so...

- Jenkins!
- Jenkins!

Oh! (CHUCKLES)

Immortal Jenkins.

Immortal Jenkins?

Yes, last time I checked, sir.

What's wrong? Are you guys okay?

Never better.

You have no idea how
good it is to see you.

Well...

Colonel, I appreciate
your appreciation, yes?

But please, we really
should rehearse.

You know what?
Enough with the rehearsal.

Let's tether.

Sir, it isn't the equinox.

We always tether at the equinox.

That's how it was written,

that's how it has always been.

Jenkins, just 'cause the thing
has always been done a way,

doesn't mean it has to
be done that way now,

especially when
all parties agree.

Eve...

Do you want to tether
to the Library with me?

I do.

Do you want to tether
to the Library with me?

I don't have a doubt in my mind.

Library, do you want
Eve and I to tether to you?

(LAUGHS)

I'll take that as a yes.
How about you guys?

- I'm in.
- As long as it means

- we don't have to practice anymore.
- Yeah.

Ooh! This is so exciting!

Fine, sir! Yeah, it's fine.

And if you get hand-fasted to
some post office somewhere,

please don't blame me.

But if that's what you wish.

So...

Librarians,

Guardian,

artifacts,

we are gathered
here today to witness

the eternal tethering

of this Librarian

and this Guardian,

in a ceremony handed
down through the ages.

Flynn Carsen,

Eve Baird...
