The Magicians (2015–…): Season 1, Episode 13 - Have You Brought Me Little Cakes - full transcript
Quentin and Julia are using time magic to get to Fillory, where they try to catch up with the students who are 70 years ahead of them searching for the Beast.
- Previously on
"the magicians"...
This was fillory,
a land of magic.
But the chatwins,
they mostly get chased around
By this time witch,
the watcherwoman.
She plants clocks in trees.
- This is where fillory
was born,
Where plover told tales
to jane and martin.
- I saw something in here.
Poor kid.
He was just trying
to get a button to fillory,
You know, so he could escape
this monster.
- We live in a world
that is one world among many.
The beast you saw
was from one such place.
- What does jane have to do
with the beast?
- Still the same determined,
little jane chatwin.
- Ember gave her the ability
to fu*á with time,
And jane used it
to create a time loop.
When she'd fail
to stop the beast,
She'd restart the loop.
- What's different this time?
- I was at brakebills?
- You were supposed to be.
- I can't sit here now
And think it was
anything but fate.
We summoned a goddess.
She touched all of us.
She granted every petition.
- There was one time
we didn't all die--
When we went to fillory.
- I'll go to fillory
On one condition.
- The girl you saw
in the dungeon?
We'll get her out.
We need some serious
battle magic.
- Spells only work
if you channel 100% clean.
- Bottling our emotions
literally.
Shall we go fu*á some shit up?
- You slept with
two other people.
We broke up.
- I was out of my mind.
I made a mistake.
My friends, I just--
I can't let them fight
the beast on their own.
- You want me
to come to fillory with you?
- Yeah.
- Kind of been planning
this trip since we were nine.
- "fillory and further.
Book seven."
I will think
of a great title later.
I knew it started as a blob
of crazy magic energy
Floating in space
that gave birth
To the gods,
ember and umber,
That gave birth
to this amazing place: Fillory.
And I even knew that
that place was real.
What I didn't know was one day,
I would actually go there
And seek out
the gods themselves.
Ember?
We need to talk to you.
- Go on.
Put a little conviction in it.
- Ember!
- Okay.
Um, how did martin summon him?
- [sighs] I don't know.
The books are all poetry.
It's like, "martin's blood
sang to the gods."
[tense music]
- Em.
Q.
What if it was literal?
- That's worth a shot.
♪
[exhales]
Damn it.
- [hisses]
- [grunts]
- You okay?
- No, I just stabbed
my own hand.
[rumbling]
ah!
[groaning]
We were expecting
something amazing,
And it--it was amazing.
Just more the shitty kind.
- [coughing]
Smells like an outhouse in here.
- Jeez, look at all this trash.
Someone's been holed up here
a while.
- It is customary to bow,
Children of earth.
[dramatic music]
♪
Have you brought me
little cakes?
[pensive music]
♪
- You're probably
a little confused,
So now I'm gonna do
that thing I kinda hate
Where the book rewinds
to fill in all the blanks.
Sorry.
Let's do it.
- [groans]
- [panting]
- Holy shit.
Our route to ember started
When we traveled
back in time to 1942
To follow jane chatwin through
A vaguely tardis-looking portal
to fillory.
Here she comes!
We figured
once we were actually there,
We could get to the present
and back to my friends somehow,
'cause that's fillory.
There's always a way.
There's jane,
and there's us,
And someone mysterious
watching us, by the way,
To follow us through.
Standing in fillory was
the greatest moment of my life,
And not just because,
as I later found out,
The air is .02% opium,
Which is a pretty unfair trick
to get you to love a place,
But, whatever, we loved it.
- [giggling]
- Oh, uh, oh, so--
if you're a real fan,
You totally recognize this
from the books--
This iconic scene, right?
Jane falls into a trap and
is saved by passing magicians,
But you didn't know is
I am in that scene, bitches.
- Struggle, struggle.
Tighter, tighter.
Okay, do you see them yet?
- Nope, but they can't be
too hard to miss.
The witch and the fool.
Iconic.
- How are the witch and the fool
supposed to see her--
Together: Oh!
- Ooh, which one
do you think I am?
- You don't look like any
witches or fools I've seen here.
- Oh, wait.
Don't.
It's--it's enchanted.
It'll only make it worse.
- What's the point
of these anyway?
They're everywhere.
- Well, some animals can talk,
So hunters have sort of
an ethical dilemma.
You know, you don't want to eat
something as smart as you,
So anything
that can answer the riddle
Is set free.
So, uh, "what is no sooner
broken than spoken?"
- I have no idea.
- [whispers]
silence.
- Silence.
How'd you know the answer?
- I, uh...Read it.
- [sighs happily]
Brilliant.
Thank you, witch and fool.
Ta-ta!
- Okay...[clears throat]
go.
Geek out.
We're in the books.
We are in the books.
[twig snaps]
- So remember how someone
followed us into fillory?
- Hey, are you following us?
It's totally cool if you are.
- Martin?
He's not even
in this part of the book.
- Still not sure
I quite understand
Why you were following
my sister.
- Well, why are you following
your sister?
- 'cause fillory stopped
taking you?
Martin, I know you probably
think it's your fault,
But it's not.
You want to be here because
you don't feel safe at home.
And we want to help.
- What do you mean?
- Christopher plover is
a very powerful magician now.
Maybe the most.
- We think we can stop him
if we find something.
Um, it's a fillorian knife,
Called the leo blade.
- Have you heard of it?
- No, but I know someone
who might've.
[crickets chirping]
- Nope, never heard of it.
- But it's something you're
more than capable of making,
Given your reputation.
Though if you think it may be
too difficult--
- What in hades is difficult
about a blade?
- Well, this one...
- Has to kill a master magician.
- And he's not even
human anymore.
Six fingers, dark spells
you've never seen before.
- Lad, fetch the moonstones.
Thing like that
Can only be killed
with a blade of moonstones.
I have the only two in fillory.
- You couldn't even make
a needle with that.
- These aren't just rocks.
They're alive.
I can mate them
and breed more.
- Then why haven't you?
- Expensive.
Takes time.
Care, feeding.
Years.
And it's not often
I'm called upon
To forge a master magician
murder weapon.
But you are from a place
that likes murder: Earth.
Am I right?
- Yes, we're from earth.
- Good.
Then you know what I want.
- We do,
and we agree.
- So what exactly did we promise
the knifemaker last night?
- Well, he knew
we were from earth.
- And the rulers of fillory
can only be from earth.
- So he thinks we're...
- Kings and queen.
He wants a seat at court.
- But years,
it'll take him years.
How...
[clattering]
- Holy shit.
[eerie music]
♪
Oh, my god.
Jules, it's ember's temple.
It was as beautiful
as it was in the books,
And standing there,
you could just feel
That the gods were real.
But in fillory,
with magic comes danger.
- She's coming!
The watcherwoman!
[clock bell chimes]
- Martin.
Wait.
Martin!
[clock bell chiming]
Holy shit.
In which we run into my
favorite random, scary villain
From the books and she turns
out to be the exact opposite.
- Quentin?
- You know the watcherwoman?
- Oh, my god.
I do.
Of course, I should have
put that together.
Uh, this is my friend, julia.
Julia, this is jane chatwin
all grown up.
- You're not supposed
to be here yet.
Haven't even been born yet.
- We know about time loops
that you keep making.
- Well, as you should by now.
- Right.
So there have been 39 others--
- And you're
the volunteer tomato.
- I'm sorry, what?
- In a garden,
you pull everything up.
Sometimes a stray vine
just keeps coming back.
It volunteers.
That's really why you,
quentin, you just keep coming.
- Right.
Okay.
So, okay...I'm the tomato.
And this is the last time.
- Why is this the last one?
- Oh...
[stammering]
uh, well you die this time.
- Huh.
I see.
Do I die doing something brave?
- Very.
- Right, then.
If you survive, see to it that I
get a proper temple in my honor.
Granite statue, good likeness,
mind the chin.
- I'll put that
at the top of my list.
- Can I ask a question?
Why are you the watcherwoman
and she's a villain?
- Am I?
- I mean, you scared the hell
out of everybody.
- Well, when I was a girl,
the watcherwoman inspired me
To learn magic to fight her.
Indeed, I grew up to be
Just a touch stronger
than that watcherwoman.
- That hurts my brain.
- Apparently wasn't enough.
[sighs]
Least I learned some fun things,
like this.
[mysterious music]
♪
- Wait, what did you do?
♪
- Don't want her to hear us.
♪
There's a patch on your
friend's memory, quite crude.
Made in haste,
likely by a hedge.
- Could you remove it?
- No, it's there for a reason.
Covering something...Recent,
something tragic...
Replacing it with something
beautiful but false.
[coins clinking]
[indistinct chanting]
- My children,
you have summoned me
To shed your burdens
And so they shall be.
- [panting]
- Julia.
I have a mission for you.
- If you still care
about her...
- Of course.
- Protect her.
- I'm sorry I couldn't
protect you.
- That was never your job,
quentin.
Right, then.
- Sorry,
what were you guys saying?
- So, jane, um,
could you zoom us forward
To the present--our present?
- Good-bye, quentin.
Godspeed.
- Jesus...
- Welcome to fillory 2016.
It's a lot colder.
It's like being in a fog
that never lifts.
- Yeah.
- Ow.
Jesus.
[inquisitive music]
"enchanted this to find you
if you ever arrive.
"hope you're not dead.
"margo being such a bitch.
Follow map to find us.
El."
Come on.
Welcome to the fillory
of the beast.
And this is what happens
To a world ruled by
the worst kind of predator--
The kind of monster
who destroys childhood.

Cheers, b.
♪
- As soon as I saw them,
I remembered,
"oh, we kind of
all slept with each other
"and hate each other right now.
And that is largely my fault."
- Really good
to see you again, q,
But, um, why am I looking
at the hedgebitch
Who tried to kill you?
- We worked it out.
I wouldn't be here
without her, so...
- I'm here.
You don't have to like me.
- Oh, don't you worry.
We don't.
- So do you know where the beast
is holding victoria or not?
- I think the dungeon is in
the castle that isn't there.
- That's the stupidest name
I've ever heard.
- You didn't just do shots with
a bulldog named bristlycoat.
- It's a kind of phosphoromancy.
Alice, you could explain it...
Um, better.
- How much further
to this knifemaker?
These shoes weren't cobbled
for a quest.
- Right over here, I think.
- Not another one.
- What?
- They're everywhere.
- Plus headstones,
unmarked graves.
- Oh, no.
We'd hoped that martin
was still out there somewhere,
That we could save him,
but we took too long.
We failed him.
All the chatwins are dead.
- Wow, your childhood fantasy
is a great big magical dachau.

.
The knifemaker's house
was largely the same in 2016,
But now it was run
by a stranger.
- I remember you.
I must say, you've aged well,
the two of you.
- Um...
- I was eight.
Apprentice to my father.
- Is he around?

Six feet under grass.

The leo blade,
as promised.
Payment is due.
As promised.
- Here's the thing:
All the chatwins are dead,
Fillory has no rulers,
and the only people from earth
Left here now not locked
in a dungeon--
- Oh, my god.
I'm going to be royalty.
- Yeah, I mean,
we all are the next wave.
So what he wants is to become
future royalty by marriage.
- Wait, he wants
to marry one of us?
- No, thank god.
He wants one of us
to marry her--his daughter.
- Huh.
I mean, you know,
team player and stuff.
- Hey, who says it's you anyway?
- It's not a volunteer gig,
and she doesn't get to pick.
- This blade draws one thing
and one thing only:
The pure royal blood
of the high king of fillory.
- I admit, I was 100% sure that
I was definitely the high king.
- Hm.
- I know!
Shocking, right?
You may be wondering
why they set it up
That aliens must rule fillory
And I'm sure
there is a great reason
And nobody has any clue
what that is.
Ember and umber set it up
And they're not that into
explaining their big ideas
And, you know, you'd think
It would be centaurs
or something, right?
I would do centaurs, but nope.
- [sighs]
so what exactly is supposed to--
Oh!
[hisses]
- Get the fu*á out.
- Well, high king.
Makes certain instinctual sense,
I guess.
- Your majesty.
- Oh, this'll make him
easier to live with.
- [sighs]
- So there's a bump.
- Bigger than marrying
a total stranger-ette?
- Apparently marriage here
is different.
Really different.
- Right, but as high king,
I can get, like,
a royal annulment.
- No, never.
Once you get married, you won't
be able to be with anyone else
Literally
for the rest of your life.
- Here, but when I go back,
I can...
I can never leave fillory.
Jesus.
- El, you don't have to do this.
- No, don't.
I'm doing this.
- Eliot--
- margo.
I am miserable.
My life,
it doesn't work.
Nothing's ever fixed that.
Drugs, sex, food, booze.
Not even magic.
But maybe it all led to this,
to now,
For a reason that's actually
finally going to make my life
Not just about me,
and my thoughts, and my feelings
Something--
- bigger.
- How wise you are,
Queen margo the destroyer.

Um...

Is it okay if I hate

I mean, the trick
is we have to be that powerful.

Nods like you're smart when
you say incredibly obvious shit,
But what we need is ideas.
- That's a good idea.
We need the power of a god.
- Yeah, or gods.
Ember and umber.
- Who haven't been seen for
decades, so good luck with that.
- Okay, I have a much less
idiotic idea.
Why don't we use a magician
Who's actually been around

The girl from his dungeon.

I will haunt

You're fu*áing kidding me.
- That's why they call it
the castle that isn't,
'cause it's invisible.
- The truth is,
the castle was constructed
To be invisible primarily
for budgetary reasons.
The royals had spent their
entire seasonal allowance
And then realized they still
had a castle to build,
So they figured builder's grade
material is just fine
If you can't see it.
- You guys run,
I'll distract 'em.

They're men.

Spank my cheeks.
You're usually dead by now.
He kills you
And I'm left here to hide

In horrid, arid,
cake-deficient loria,
But you're here.
- What happened?
What are you--
what are you doing here?

of course.
- The beast?
- As you call him, yes.
He snared me

- Wait, umber's dead?
- It's unseemly, all of it.
- I'm sorry.
I don't mean to disrespect,
But how could a magician
put the drop on you?
- Fillory's magic
belongs to no one,
Not even a god.
A magician
with enough determination
Can harness its forces and make
haggis of any one of us.
Hm.
So now I just wait

Years trying to outwit him.

greatest failure, deepest shame.
And now he is prepared
for anything I do.
It's not I who can defeat him,
Not directly.
- I'll do it.
I volunteer.
I'll kill the beast.
I love fillory.
I don't know why.
But I am supposed to be here.
I'm supposed to fight for it.

I'll do whatever it takes.

And you never stopped.
Julia stopped.

but now I totally--

Fillory stopped taking him.

the wellspring,
The most ancient location
in fillory.
- Which is what?
- The source of all magic.
It's not only stronger than
ember and umber,
It created them.
Fillory runs on it.
Martin goes every night
to drink from it,
Draining it a little more
each time.
The wellspring's magic
is so strong
It killed...
Every human thing in him.
There's only the beast now.

every night,
But it's not on any map.

out of touch, I think.
You're a better magician.
And you're a better person.
And I think that
if he'd met you,
He wouldn't be so sure
that it's me.
- But you're the one
that they say
Shows up every single time,
it's you.
- I want to be the one.
I do.
It's just...
It's the adult part of me,
The part of me that understands
how magic works,
It just--it just keeps screaming
That it's you.
Every time
that jane reset the loop,
She changed something.
So what if I change something?
What if I give the blade to you?

Where plover told tales

Poor kid.
He was just trying

You know, so he could escape

The beast you saw
was from one such place.
- What does jane have to do
with the beast?
- Still the same determined,
little jane chatwin.
- Ember gave her the ability
to fu*á with time,
And jane used it
to create a time loop.
When she'd fail

She'd restart the loop.

Our route to ember started
When we traveled
back in time to 1942
To follow jane chatwin through
A vaguely tardis-looking portal
to fillory.
Here she comes!
We figured
once we were actually there,
We could get to the present
and back to my friends somehow,
'cause that's fillory.
There's always a way.
There's jane,
and there's us,
And someone mysterious
watching us, by the way,
To follow us through.
Standing in fillory was
the greatest moment of my life,
And not just because,
as I later found out,
The air is .02% opium,
Which is a pretty unfair trick
to get you to love a place,
But, whatever, we loved it.
- [giggling]
- Oh, uh, oh, so--
if you're a real fan,
You totally recognize this
from the books--
This iconic scene, right?
Jane falls into a trap and
is saved by passing magicians,
But you didn't know is
I am in that scene, bitches.
- Struggle, struggle.
Tighter, tighter.
Okay, do you see them yet?
- Nope, but they can't be
too hard to miss.
The witch and the fool.
Iconic.
- How are the witch and the fool
supposed to see her--
Together: Oh!
- Ooh, which one
do you think I am?
- You don't look like any
witches or fools I've seen here.
- Oh, wait.
Don't.
It's--it's enchanted.
It'll only make it worse.
- What's the point
of these anyway?
They're everywhere.
- Well, some animals can talk,
So hunters have sort of
an ethical dilemma.
You know, you don't want to eat
something as smart as you,
So anything
that can answer the riddle
Is set free.
So, uh, "what is no sooner
broken than spoken?"
- I have no idea.
- [whispers]
silence.

How'd you know the answer?

Thank you, witch and fool.
Ta-ta!

followed us into fillory?
- Hey, are you following us?
It's totally cool if you are.
- Martin?
He's not even
in this part of the book.
- Still not sure
I quite understand
Why you were following
my sister.
- Well, why are you following
your sister?
- 'cause fillory stopped
taking you?
Martin, I know you probably
think it's your fault,
But it's not.
You want to be here because
you don't feel safe at home.
And we want to help.
- What do you mean?
- Christopher plover is
a very powerful magician now.
Maybe the most.
- We think we can stop him
if we find something.
Um, it's a fillorian knife,
Called the leo blade.
- Have you heard of it?
- No, but I know someone
who might've.
[crickets chirping]
- Nope, never heard of it.
- But it's something you're
more than capable of making,
Given your reputation.
Though if you think it may be
too difficult--
- What in hades is difficult
about a blade?
- Well, this one...
- Has to kill a master magician.
- And he's not even
human anymore.
Six fingers, dark spells
you've never seen before.
- Lad, fetch the moonstones.
Thing like that
Can only be killed
with a blade of moonstones.
I have the only two in fillory.
- You couldn't even make
a needle with that.
- These aren't just rocks.
They're alive.
I can mate them
and breed more.
- Then why haven't you?
- Expensive.
Takes time.
Care, feeding.
Years.

To forge a master magician
murder weapon.
But you are from a place

Am I right?

What are you--
what are you doing here?
- He lured me into a trap,
of course.
- The beast?
- As you call him, yes.
He snared me
and my dead, departed umber.
- Wait, umber's dead?
- It's unseemly, all of it.
- I'm sorry.
I don't mean to disrespect,
But how could a magician
put the drop on you?
- Fillory's magic
belongs to no one,
Not even a god.
A magician
with enough determination
Can harness its forces and make
haggis of any one of us.
Hm.
So now I just wait
till he is slain.
I'm so fu*áing bored,
children of earth.
Ha!
I've had sex with every nymph
in the kingdom.
- Well, we're here to help.
- But you're not a nymph.
- No, I'm--
What the fu*á is wrong with you?
- Pray pardon?
- What are you doing here?
You're just gonna let the beast
trample the shit out of fillory?
- You think that
I want to be here?
- I think you're being
kind of a whiny bitch.
- Q, maybe don't insult--
- No, does he care or not?
- You're right.
Years trying to outwit him.
[chuckles]
greatest failure, deepest shame.
And now he is prepared
for anything I do.
It's not I who can defeat him,
Not directly.
- I'll do it.
I volunteer.
I'll kill the beast.
I love fillory.
I don't know why.
But I am supposed to be here.
I'm supposed to fight for it.
- Can you be the champion
we've been waiting for?
- I want to be.
I'm ready to be.
I'll do whatever it takes.
- You love fillory.
And you never stopped.
Julia stopped.
- I mean, maybe in college,
but now I totally--
- Yes, you see, she stopped.
But you never did.
Only the best and the purest
can face the beast,
And that is you.
- Right, okay,
so here's the thing,
I can't really touch the knife
that can kill the beast.
- Yes, you need my strength.
I will infuse you with...
My essence.
I have gifted you my bestowal,
My largesse,
the seed of my power.
When you are ready
to face the beast,
Imbibe it.
- Is that semen?
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
And you, daughter of earth.

When he was still a child,
Fillory stopped taking him.
Once he found his way back,
He made it his mission to stay.
He'd heard about
the wellspring,
The most ancient location
in fillory.
- Which is what?
- The source of all magic.
It's not only stronger than
ember and umber,
It created them.
Fillory runs on it.
Martin goes every night
to drink from it,
Draining it a little more
each time.
The wellspring's magic
is so strong
It killed...
Every human thing in him.
There's only the beast now.
- So he goes to the wellspring
every night,
But it's not on any map.

maybe?

He's chosen.
In real life, for every one guy,
There are a billion people

out of touch, I think.
You're a better magician.

Shows up every single time,
