The Librarians (2014–2018): Season 4, Episode 6 - And the Graves of Time - full transcript

Hurry up.

One step closer.

She couldn't keep
it hidden from me.

This won't do. It just won't do.

Jenkins, have you seen Eve?

No, sir. Oh! But
while I have you,

we need to discuss
the Tethering Ceremony.

Love to, but I'm taking Eve bowling.
Been polishing my balls all week.

Scratch that. That
didn't come out right.

Please, Mr. Carsen, the
equinox is fast approaching,

and it's been weeks since we
rehearsed the Tethering Ceremony.



Has it? I hadn't
noticed that. Eve?

Sir, I can't but think
you're avoiding the subject.

- Avoiding what subject?
- Tethering.

Have you seen Eve?

No. I was actually
looking for her myself.

She was supposed to help me
catalogue the Dead Sea Scrolls.

Why is he avoiding Tethering?

- Exactly.
- I am not avoiding.

- I just have questions.
- Oh, you mean doubts.

Are you going to completely ignore
everything that Darrington Dare said

about there ever only
being one Librarian?

Excuse me, sir, but with all due
respect to Mr. Dare, screw him.

His fears of a Librarian
civil war are antiquated,

and I may say,
bordering the paranoid.



- Wait, there's a Librarian civil war?
- No...

Sir, quite frankly, I
think that your doubts

have less to do with Mr. Dare,
and more to do with Ms. Noone.

Do you, now?

Hey, where's Baird? She
never showed up to spar.

Ever since she reentered your
life, you've been dragging your feet.

- Who? Baird?
- No, Nicole. Keep up.

Dragging my feet?

Maybe with good reason, especially
with the way the Library has treated her.

- Are we doing this again?
- Yep.

Mr. Carsen, I'll be happy to
debate the presumed innocence

of Ms. Noone with you
as much as you'd like,

but the fact remains

that in 41... Yes, 41 days,
the equinox will be upon us,

and if at that time, the
Library is not tethered,

the consequences
will be catastrophic.

- Hey, have any of you guys seen Baird?
- No!

No one has seen Colonel Baird!

No one knows where
Colonel Baird... is.

If you'd be so kind, the
facility will be closing now.

Thank you for visiting
Wellington Arms Mortuary.

- Baird?
- Nice to see you, too.

What are you doing here?
Have you been tracking me?

You left us without saying a
word. You just disappeared.

I was kept a prisoner
for 100 years.

Sorry I wasn't excited
to go running back.

I was trained to never
leave a soldier behind.

They left you. It was wrong,
and I'm here to make it right.

But that's not all of it, is it?

You're still not sure if I'm innocent,
or if Jenkins is right about me.

Maybe I came to
find out for myself.

I would love to help you, but
I'm busy. And, you're in my way.

Come back to the Library.
We could work together.

- You could be a Guardian again.
- I am a Guardian.

What do you think I'm
doing here? I'm on the job.

- Then let me help you.
- No.

For the last time, I'm never
going back to the Library.

I work alone.

He's always sending
us to these places.

Nonsense.

What were you thinking?
You led them right to me.

We found it.

This is the fourth one of
my graves they've looted.

Your graves? What do you mean?

Only two men. Shouldn't
be hard to take down.

Wait. You can't just charge
them. We need a tactical plan.

I have one. And what's
with all this "we" crap?

- Stay low. On my go.
- Yeah.

It's her.

Keep swinging like that,
you'll use all your energy!

Don't tell me how to fight.

I'm just saying, a Krav Maga style
would suit your body type better.

My body type? I was
made for Hapkido.

Unlike you and those wild haymakers.
Your guy's not even down yet.

I'm just setting up
for the choke hold.

Air choke? Please.
You need a blood choke.

Look at your guy. His eyelids are
still fluttering. He's not even out yet.

I could put my guy
down in four seconds.

I can do it in three, two, one.

Face it, Nicole, being locked
up 100 years got you a little rusty.

Who do you think you are?

I've been doing this a long time,
and I'm a far better Guardian than you.

What? You sip some
immortal goo-goo-ga-ga juice,

you think you're God's
gift to Guardians?

- Something like that.
- You are so delusional.

If you don't believe me,

maybe we could ask them
who the better Guardian is.

Okay, let's...

- Where are they?
- Wait.

They took it.

You have no idea how
badly you've messed this up.

They were after my artifacts,

which I was trying to
protect until you showed up.

So, you've been hiding
artifacts in graves, your graves.

My graves are like my
own personal Library.

What did they take?

Something that leads
to Koschei's Needle.

Needle? Doesn't sound so bad.

It's a weapon of war so powerful,
it can bring down kingdoms.

Well, when you
say it like that...

And now, I have to
find it before they do.

I'm coming with you. I can help.

Oh, like you did back
there? No, thank you.

I'll prove you can trust
me. And the Library.

You don't trust me to go after
an artifact on my own, do you?

Thought so. Good seeing
you again, Guardian.

- Have a nice life.
- Nobody knows I'm here.

One call, and you've got four Librarians
and one grumpy Custodian on your ass.

So, you can either deal with
me, or you can deal with them.

Your call.

We find the Needle,
but after that, we're done.

We just need to
make a quick stop first.

Still no answer. It's
going straight to voicemail.

All right, I just got back
from Baird's apartment.

Her wallet's missing.

Her favorite boots are gone.
No sign of foul play, though.

Well, it looks like
she used the Door.

- Does it say where?
- Multiple locations.

Toledo, Munich,
Kyoto, São Paulo.

I mean, she could have
literally gone anywhere.

No, it's a smoke screen.
She's trying to cover her tracks.

Or she took the red eye
from Portland to Heathrow.

I may have hacked her laptop,
found her credit card statements.

Ezekiel, that is private property,
and completely inappropriate!

Yeah, so, is her
browser history.

What is she doing in England?

DOSA might know
something about that.

According to this, they've
been corresponding

for the last couple of weeks.

She's even had them run
facial recognition software

on one particular person.

- Nicole.
- Mmm-hmm.

Her last known location was just
outside of Lancashire, England.

I'm going after her.

All right, so, Baird
went after Nicole. Why?

Probably to bring her back to
the Library to face her crimes.

Maybe she went to apologize
for what the Library did to her.

- Please.
- Maybe she just wanted to grab

a pint with a mate, you
know? Guardians' night out.

Two Guardians alone, together?
Could be doing anything to each other.

- I'm coming with you.
- No, I'm going to do this by myself.

This is Nicole,
and this is Eve...

Yes. And, sir, you are far
too emotionally involved.

You have no objectivity.

- And you do?
- I...

Would you three stay,
please, and guard the Library?

Both of you guys are
going on a mission?

And we're staying here?

Which means, we
get to be Jenkins!

One door for Lancashire
coming right up!

Do we make tea, now?

Your tea.

I see you've already met Nicole.

She wasn't alone.

There was another one.

We want extra,

for hazard pay.

I have more work for you.

That is -

If you're not afraid -

of a couple of women?

Of course.

Why are we at another mortuary?

How many grave
sites do you have?

Enough not to arouse suspicion.
I'm immortal, remember?

A grown woman
going over 20 years

without any sign of
aging starts to look fishy.

Hmm. Depends who her doctor is.

So, help me understand this. You
faked your own death every 20 years?

For the last 500 years,

each time starting over in a
new life in a new part of the world.

Here we are.

I use this as my, sort of,
safe-box, in case I get into trouble.

Put this aside, will you?

These people in these
photos, they were your friends?

Enduring so many years,
you find ways to live,

make friends, lovers, family,
always knowing you'll lose them.

You've lived your whole
life saying good-bye.

How on Earth did you keep going?

Hope.

I knew if I could
just keep surviving,

there was a chance I
could see Flynn again.

It gave me a reason.

You know, Flynn and I have
agreed to tether to the Library.

Ah, yes, and then you'll
become immortal, too.

I don't think I understood
everything that meant until now.

Make damn sure
you've got a good reason.

It's a mortuary?

This is where the
driver said he let Eve off.

What is Colonel Baird
and Ms. Noone doing here?

Hopefully, not
killing each other.

I do apologize,
but we're closed.

It will just take a
couple of minutes.

Yes, but I'm afraid we had a
situation in one of our lower rooms.

Left a ghastly mess.

We should reopen tomorrow.

You sure we can't
just take a quick visit?

We can't wait till tomorrow.

It's an eternal
resting place, sir.

Whatever you need will
surely be here tomorrow.

Yes, but he may not.

You see, my
grandfather's very sick.

He just wants to see where
he's going to be buried.

He has an incurable disease

brought on by the virus
Murmurationis Pullum.

He could croak at any moment.

Oh?

That's the virus attacking

his bronchopulmonary
lymph nodes.

- Can you hear it?
- Yes, I do.

It's a shame. He looks
quite well on the outside.

But on the inside,
complete mess.

- Brains is mush.
- Sardine pants are tight.

And then there's the
involuntary spasms.

Yes.

Yes. Yes, I see.

He looks absolutely dreadful.

Perhaps, we can make
an exception just this once.

Of course. Please,
make yourself at home.

There's cucumber
water in the parlor.

- Cucumber water?
- Yes.

Come, Grandfather, come.

Murmurationis Pullum?
The screaming chicken?

Got us inside.

Very good thing the man
did not know his Latin.

Oh, so, you had to
pretend that you were dying.

Consider yourself lucky.
Look around you, Jenkins.

Aren't you glad you never
had to deal with any of this?

I don't know. I've lived
a very long time, yes.

Fought the greatest battles.

Lost my greatest love.

Sometimes, I wonder would a
final rest actually be welcomed?

Whoa, whoa.

Look at these boot marks.
Eve and Nicole were here.

There was a fight. Two men.

Scuff marks. Broken glass.

They went to the ground.

They got up.

Should have gone
with the blood choke.

Sir.

Hello.

Found it.

- What is it?
- What we came for.

A Greek artifact
called Apollo's Tablet.

It belongs in the Library.

- What was that?
- Nothing. What does it do?

I could be like a Librarian

and give you a long-winded
answer about how Apollo

was the god of prophecy
and insight, blah, blah, blah.

Please don't.

Let's just say, it points
me in the right direction.

It's how we've been able to locate
magical artifacts throughout the years.

It's like the Clipping Book. It
gives you a clue where to go.

This doesn't look familiar.

Ukrainian signage.
That's the Pripyat River.

I did a tour there
during my NATO days.

This is pointing to the
Polesie Forest in Ukraine.

Then that's where we need to go.

Help me get this back
in the crypt, will you?

What are you doing?

What I told you. I work alone.

Nicole, no! Damn you! Nicole!

Someone!

Help me!

Stay here close to me.

What is happening?

Dead people alive!

Oh my God!

Ladies and gentlemen,
we'll soon be departing

our direct flight to
Kiev, so, sit back, relax.

We'll be on our way shortly.

You didn't think you'd get
away from me that easily.

Come on, man.

How was the mission?

- Do you need another door?
- Anything?

I've been doing research on
the key impression you sent me.

By the way, it's early Slavic,
and they refer to Koschei's Needle.

Koschei, immortal god
of Russian mythology.

Also known as
"Koschei the Deathless."

Rumor has it that he protected
his soul by hiding it in a needle.

The needle being able to...

Slay thousands
in a single swipe.

For centuries, madmen,
kings have sought its power,

including the infamous
Grigori Rasputin.

Oh, Rasputin? Long hair, looks
like he belongs in a death metal band.

Rasputin, 19th century
Russian occultist

made famous for surviving
multiple assassination attempts

until his ultimate murder
in 1916 Rasputin? No?

What does any of this
have to do with Eve?

Clearly, Ms. Noone is after the Needle,
and Colonel Baird is trying to stop her.

Why would Nicole
want that needle?

Well, because along with
its power to kill thousands,

the Needle can
also kill an immortal.

She wants it to use against
me. She wants revenge.

And here we go again!

Maybe she was
just trying to protect it

like she said she was doing
when you jailed her the last time.

She's trying to bring
down the Library.

Why can't you just look
at this from her point...

Gentlemen, stop! Both of you!

It doesn't matter
what Nicole's motive is.

What's important right
now, is finding Eve.

She's right. Find the
Needle and we'll find Eve.

Stone, do you have anything yet?

The legend refers to the Polesie
Forest. However, I did find a riddle.

"In an egg, within a
duck, within a hare,

"you will find it in
the crystal chest."

Great. So, we just
have to go to the forest,

find a turducken,
and we're aces.

We figure out the riddle later.
Right now, a trip to the Polesie...

Two steps ahead of you, sir.

Is this the Pripyat River?

Another four or five
miles north, I think.

You think? You
mean you don't know?

Well, I had a GPS,
but I dropped it

while crawling through
the claustrophobic,

death-smelling
walls of a mortuary.

Four or five miles
north it is, then.

Ukrainian military?

Restricted zone. Any sign of
them, run, 'cause they shoot first.

Although being shot is probably
less of a concern for you,

- being immortal and all.
- It still hurts.

Everything about
being immortal hurts.

Nicole, in all your 500 years,

did you ever tell anyone
about being immortal?

Do you ever share that
burden with anyone?

What good would that do?

Well, you shouldn't
have to deal with it alone.

Jenkins had Charlene.

When I tether and become immortal,
I'll have Flynn. You have no one.

Let me guess. This is
another pitch to join the Library.

We're the ones who understand
what you're going through.

We'll always be there for you.

Why do you care so much if I
come back to the Library or not?

I told you. No one
should be left behind.

Yes, but this isn't really
about me, is it, Baird?

It's about you. You're scared.

Because if I can leave the
Library, others could, too.

The idea of losing the
Librarians terrifies you

because without them,
who would you be?

You're right. I am afraid.

I'm afraid I'll be alone.

I'm afraid I'll end up like you.

We could lose a full day
trying to get around this.

We're gonna have to climb it.

There. Use the cracks in the
rocks, stack climb our way up.

No, no, no, no. Those
cracks are too wide.

We're gonna have
to slab climb it.

Slab climb? I'm sorry. Have you
ever climbed a mountain before?

Does K2 count?

I bet you had an army of
Sherpas to carry you up.

Stop, stop, stop, stop.
We have to stop arguing.

We're not gonna get anywhere
if we don't start working together.

Fine.

There's gotta be some
way up this sucker.

- Just when you need a Librarian.
- Please.

Those nerds would have
some complicated solution

using counter-levers
and catapults.

Or a helicopter made out
of a hair band and a coconut.

There. That looks
like a promising hold.

That looks way out of reach.

Not if we do a soldier climb.

I'll give you a boost
up to the first hold.

And you grab my boots
and climb to that footing.

Check out the
big brain on Baird.

Hey! We did it. This double
Guardian thing ain't so bad.

Who needs a Librarian?

You do!

Flynn? How did you...

- Are you okay?
- Yes.

We were so worried
about both of you.

- Everything's good.
- You're okay?

- Yeah.
- Really?

'Cause just, you know, given your
mutual feelings of jealousy for me,

- I thought maybe you might be...
- Fighting over you?

Over what we admire more,
his humility or his modesty.

I came to bring Nicole back.

Only a Guardian could
bring back another Guardian,

and I knew you'd
never let me go alone.

Do they ever trust you to
do anything by yourself?

It is you who can't
be trusted, Ms. Noone.

Nice to see you too, Jenkins.

Jenkins, listen, they've
been raiding Nicole's graves.

I was there, I saw it. They're
after a very dangerous artifact.

Koschei's Needle, yes, we
know. That's how we found you.

And you won't
find it without this.

You see, I triangulated
the Needle's exact location

by deciphering an
ancient Slavic riddle.

"In an egg, within a
hare, within a duck,

- "you will find it in a crystal chest."
- Where is it?

Mr. Carsen, there's
no need to tell her...

First, I deciphered the
imagery, duck, egg, hare,

and then I remembered that in the
ancient Slavic Glagolitic alphabet,

letters are given
numeric values.

- Mr. Carsen...
- So, so, so, so, so, all I had to do

was write out the words,
"egg, duck, hare," in Glagolitic,

and then decipher it
into their numerical value,

and then I get three
sets of numbers,

which I used to triangulate
the Needle's exact location,

which I then marked on this map.

- We'd better hurry.
- No, no, no, no. Not with you.

Sorry, Jenkins. It's Nicole's
mission. I'm helping her finish it.

Colonel! Please, don't tell
me that you trust her now.

Actually, I do.

Ugh! I am the only sane
one left around here!

That is debatable.

Colonel, during your
little hillside waltz,

did she tell you what
the Needle is used for?

It is used to kill an immortal.

She wants to use it against me.

- That's a lie.
- She has been plotting against me for...

Ukrainian military! Run! Run!

All clear.

- I think they're gone.
- What happened to Eve and Jenkins?

You're lucky we
grabbed you when we did.

Ukrainian soldiers are not
known for their hospitality.

- Who are you?
- Don't tell him anything, Jenkins.

These are the guys who raided
Nicole's graves and attacked us.

My men were not attacking you.
They were attacking Nicole Noone!

Well, then you should know that
we are not associates of Ms. Noone.

The artifacts in her grave,
she stole them from us.

We were merely trying to stop
her before she did any more harm.

Then perhaps, we do
have something in common,

for I, too, am
trying to stop her.

Nicole Noone
destroyed my family.

I count five of them.

They're the same men who
were looking for the Needle.

We've got to get out of here.

We're not gonna just leave
Jenkins and Baird down there.

You're a Librarian. You
know better than anyone.

- The mission comes first.
- Yeah, but they're family.

Doesn't that mean
anything to you anymore?

Jenkins is a Knight.
Baird is a Guardian.

- Don't you think they can handle it?
- Yeah, but we're a team.

We rely on each other.

And what Baird needs from
you right now, is a little bit of faith.

She can take care of herself.

She's a Guardian.
Treat her like one.

We were imperial family
for more than 300 years.

We ruled Old Russia
with a majestic hand.

You're saying you're a
descendant of the Romanovs?

But they were all executed
during the Bolshevik Revolution.

Not all. I am descendant
of sole survivor.

Years before our downfall, our
family took in a charming holy man.

He offered counsel,
friendship, faith.

But he was no prophet.

He was charlatan.

Grigori Rasputin?

He corrupted our family
like a dark disease.

He practiced
sorcery, black magic...

I'm sorry, but what does
any of this have to do

with Boris and Natasha
looting Nicole's graves?

Rasputin learned his dark arts from
an even more powerful accomplice,

Nicole Noone.

Nicole and Rasputin? Come on.

Colonel, please, let him finish.

Nicole and Rasputin were
searching for a very powerful artifact.

The Koschei Needle.

If they found it, both would
have become unstoppable.

But fortunately, Rasputin
was killed before he succeeded.

And Ms. Noone?

It was rumored
she escaped death,

but her story was
passed down in my family.

We remained vigilant in the
off chance that she might return.

And then, just months
ago, there was a sighting.

Nicole Noone was alive.

And it is up to me to stop
her from getting Needle.

This is ridiculous, Jenkins.

Nicole Noone isn't
involved in any of this.

She could be, Colonel.
You don't know her like I do.

No, I know her entirely
different than you do.

I have visited her
graves. I've seen her past.

I've seen the lives she's lived.
I've seen the goodness in her.

This is not Nicole.

Then perhaps you have
seen different past than I have.

This is her with Rasputin.

This is her, Nicole Noone.

Nicole.

Where are we?

Just on the outskirts
of Chernobyl.

Chernobyl? Like the
nuclear disaster Chernobyl?

As opposed to the rib shack Chernobyl?
No, yeah, I think it's just the one.

And we're just hiking
through it. No cause for alarm.

Well, the government opened up this
area to limited tours a few years back.

They claim that most of the
radiation has been contained.

Right. Governments never
lie about ecological disasters.

I am one step ahead of your
sarcasm. Homemade radiation detector.

See, the phone's built-in
camera uses a silicon chip

that can not only
detect visible light,

but also higher
wavelengths like gamma rays.

So, if we cover the
phone lens with pine resin,

so that it only detects
high-powered gamma protons,

and then we rewire it,

so that any detection alerts
us through the speaker, voilà.

- No nukes is good nukes.
- And it'll work?

We're fine, as long as we're
outta here in under four hours.

Great.

- Make that two and a half hours.
- Okay.

Nicole, let me
ask you a question.

When you helped us
with the Alexandria Stones,

why did you leave? You
didn't even say good-bye.

After being locked up in
the Library, I had to get away.

- You can understand that.
- Yes, I can, but why run from me?

Because I was hoping
you would come after me.

But you didn't. Baird did.

My turn to ask you a question.

- Why do you stay at the Library?
- What do you mean?

When I first met you, you had
your whole life in front of you.

You weren't just about the job.

I was a nobody.

I was a floundering
academic with no purpose.

The Library gave me one.

No. It showed you
how to have purpose.

There are three
other Librarians, now.

You could have passed
the torch, moved on.

You could have been
anything you wanted to be.

This is what I became.
This is who I am.

And who is that?

Did you ever get the
chance to truly define yourself,

apart from the Library?

I put everything into
it. It's my whole life.

And that's just it, Flynn.

It's taken your life.

We're both prisoners of the
Library, only you can't see it.

- What is this place?
- An old paper mill from the looks of it.

According to the coordinates, the
Needle should be buried in here.

They must have
built over the top of it.

Given enough time,
everything crumbles.

You can't bury the past forever.

Yes, but where is it?

Wasn't there a last
part of the riddle?

"In an egg, within a
duck, within a hare,

"you will find it
in a crystal chest."

All right, so, like
a treasure chest.

That depends on
how you translate it.

It could be "jar," it could be a
"container," it could be "crypt."

It could be "mineral," like
the mineral, it could be quartz.

Quartz.

This is all quartz.

Don't you see? We
are in a crystal chest.

Hello.

Ah-ha!

Egg,

duck, hare.

It's activated some
sort of lifting mechanism

on the other side of this wall.

I never could forget how
much you amaze me, Flynn.

- It's like a Russian nesting doll.
- Quite remarkable, really.

It can't be defined
by one aspect.

Each reveals a deeper layer,

each, one step
closer to its true heart.

This one's locked.

You can't open it,
sir, without the key.

- Eve, what are you doing?
- Sorry, Flynn.

We can't let Nicole
have the Needle.

Please just step
away from the chest.

No, no, no, no, no. Nicole!

Please don't make this
harder than it already is.

- You're making a big mistake!
- I really wish I were.

Now, I think the safest
place for this is the Library.

No. You see, sir? This
is exactly what I meant.

She was trying to get this
to use it in order to kill me.

You're right, Jenkins. I want
to use it, but not to kill you.

- To kill him!
- Nicole?

This man is not
who he says he is.

- He's Rasputin.
- The impudence!

Rasputin destroyed my family.

He was murdered for his crimes.

He didn't die.

He somehow managed to stay alive
in this frail state using dark magic,

but I know who you are!
You can't hide from me!

Do not believe word she says.

We saw the photos, Nicole.
We saw you with Rasputin.

I infiltrated his inner circle. I
was the one who killed him.

Or at least, I thought I did.

Lies! Keep this
dagger away from her.

Listen to me. I'm
telling the truth.

Jenkins, search your heart.
One immortal to another.

You need to trust me.

- Wait! No!
- Nicole!

Rasputin.

Kingdoms will fall, and
all will kneel at my feet.

He's not paying
me enough for this.

Oh, my God, what have I done?

- Can you save her?
- I don't know.

That's not good enough! Let's get
her back to the Library and try, damn it!

Keep a door open for
us. We'll take care of him.

Hey, Ruski!

Oh, looks like your little letter
opener ain't so tough after all.

It's been dormant for
centuries. It needs more souls.

Time to go!

You cannot escape,
for I am deathless,

and I will feed upon your lives.

I couldn't protect her,
Flynn. I failed as a Guardian.

Well, you were lied to by one
of the great deceivers in history.

Don't beat yourself up too bad.

Still, I let one of my own down.

Your friend, Nicole,
betrayed me years ago!

Now, her life fills my veins.

And soon, yours will as well.

What? What is that?
Someone's calling you, now?

Shut it off!

No, it's not a phone call.

There must be a radiation
leak around here somewhere.

Great, so either we die at the
hands of a reincarnated madman,

or we'll have
radiation poisoning.

Do you want him to find us?

- Actually, yes.
- Wait! Flynn!

Gotcha.

- You are strong, Guardian.
- You better believe it.

You think you can kill me?

- Grigori Yefimovich Rasputin?
- Eve! The pipe!

Countless others have tried and
failed, just like your pathetic friend.

Then allow me to finish the job.

A thousand sieverts of
radiation absorbed into his body.

Not even Rasputin could
survive that. Come on.

Nicole, I'm so sorry.

I should have done more. I
should have protected you.

Nicole, it's okay.
I'm here. We all are.

Nicole? Nicole?

Mr. Carsen, please. Do not touch
her. Mr. Stone, I need you to translate.

- What is that? Buckthorn?
- Yes.

"Friendship is vowing
toward immortality

"and does not know the
passing away of beauty

"because it aims
for the spirit."

That's The Epic of Gilgamesh.
Gilgamesh sent for buckthorn

to give him everlasting life.

- Is this gonna save her?
- The only thing that can.

What is it doing?
What is it doing?

It's a transference ceremony.

- He's giving her his immortality.
- What?

You will be mortal, like us.

I was too angry. I
was too blind to see.

All along, she was
just trying to save us.

I just hope I can
do the same for her.

- Jenkins!
- Mr. Stone, finish the passage, please.

Mmm-mmm.

Mr. Stone, I need you
to finish the passage!

"Hold my hand in yours,

"and we will not fear what
hands like ours can do."

Jenkins. Jenkins.

Jenkins.

Thank you.

How will I ever repay you?

You will, just by making the most
out of the life that you now have.

What will you do, now?

Who knows? That's the
fun of it, though, right?

For better or for worse,

I have been tied to the
Library for so many years.

It's time I found out who I
can be apart from this place.

Please know that wherever you
go, you will always have a place here.

Thank you.

- Take care of yourself.
- You, too.

Don't be a prisoner.

Oh, Flynn!

Flynn?

Jenkins. Have you seen Flynn?
We are finally gonna go bowling...

You all right, Jenkins?

Flynn's tethering ring.

Yes. He took all of
his things. Left this.

I have a feeling that he's gone

to look for something
that he couldn't find here.

What does this mean?

I believe it means that Mr. Carsen
has resigned from the Library.

And that he will
not be coming back.
