Previously, on "The Magicians"...
Quentin... [CRIES OUT]
I killed a god.
Gods like Ember have parents, you idiot.
When we're harmless, they ignore us.
But when we become malignant,
they amputate.
- [LOW HUMMING]
- [GASPS]
Magic is gone.
What is it that you seek,
rude little Earth girl?
The woman and child you stole.
Fen wouldn't come because
they have your daughter.
I had to warn you. They're coming.
[FOREBODING MUSIC]
This contract initiates
our services in exchange for...
Unlimited manual and magical labor?
- You signed that insane contract?
- Yeah, it's okay.
- Did you do this for me?
- Just say it.
Cancer.
- Call it Cancer plus.
- How long till I die?
Two or three weeks.
I need your help.
If Penny's in the library,
he can be your mole.
But to do that, he'd have to be alive.
Deal.
As a niffin, you made enemies.
I am here to warn you
that one of them seeks you.
The Lambre. It knows you're weak.
It knows you're here.
[LEAVES RUSTLING]
He raped me.
Your son.
He turned me into a monster.
[WHISPERING] You're a survivor.
Why did you bring me back?
I know what you're trying to do.
There is no actual evidence
of magical surge.
The best we can do is accept that
and continue our theoretical studies.
- [SIGH]
- We all get flashes,
and we can do it again.
[ELECTRICITY CRACKLING]
How?
I have no idea.
[SPEAKING IN LATIN]
Nope. Nothing.
No freeze, no boil.
Shit.
It's okay.
You can still do other stuff.
Q, I can't do anything real.
It's like there's no pattern to this,
nothing that we do can
make it stronger or better.
I'm starting to feel like
it's all random, you know?
Maybe it was a mistake.
Come on, you don't mean that.
What if this is, like, a smudge?
A fingerprint left by OLU when
she gave me back my Shade,
and she didn't even realize?
You know, it's like,
whoops, speck of magic.
She's a goddess.
Does she seem like the accident type?
Have you met her son?
Look, I don't wanna be insensitive...
But you still think I somehow
have this because of Reynard.
I don't know why you have it.
I just... I-I don't think
that we should discount the possibility.
I mean, you've had...
More contact with gods than most.
That's a nicer way of putting it.
[SOFT LAUGH]
For the record, I'm still
leaning towards fluke.
So it's a fluke. There's still something
that could lead us to something.
We have got to keep
chipping away at it, Jules.
Big words coming from a guy who's mostly
chain-smoking and binge-watching
"Six Feet Under" when I got here.
You fired me up.
You showed me that
there's a fight to fight.
Now I am the official sidekick
to whatever it turns out you are, okay?
So, get used to it.
Wake up, asshole.
[GROANS]
[DRY LAUGH]
What, were you a boy scout?
These are great.
Not a good time to go with smart-ass.
I'm not a killer, but times are strange
and you're the one
who broke into my home.
Yeah, well, I'm a librarian.
You're ignoring our requests.
That book was overdue.
Overdue book? Come on.
It's my job.
What's the Library's real game?
Books?
Why do you care anymore?
'Cause what the hell else
is there to do anymore?
[BITTER LAUGH]
Man, hey, that thing...
- Is not your business.
- It's Mayakovsky's spell, right?
Little something the brew up current?
It's fake.
It does not make magic.
It does blow up like a meth lab.
You met Mayakovsky?
I'd know his spellwork anywhere.
Yeah, me too, and I'm telling you...
All of this is his fault.
It... by his, you mean...
Made a bunch
of apocalypse-proof batteries,
then did something to turn
it all off all over the world.
Breaks his Incorporate Bond,
screws us, he's got magic, he's free.
Tell you what Mayakovsky
didn't think about...
Creatures. They're fine.
Whatever they are, it's DNA.
So I hear.
We're fish bait now.
Thank God I got this place,
'cause they're coming.
I promise you.
[CRASHES]
Well, karma is a righteous bitch.
- [LAUGH]
- Karma's gonna be...
we kill them all, son.
If you can.
I mean, some of them look just like us.
You'd never know
they're not quite human.

Stuffy, cautious... survive anything.
But the rest of the board...
Look, Henry, I came here
alone because I respect you.
Well, you taught me
everything that I know.
- No need to exaggerate.
- I'm not.
And no one needs to convince me
that this school is important.
I gather that's not the case
for everyone.
They're panicked.
They want magic.
So too do we all.
They believe that there's gotta be
something out there somewhere.
Mayakovsky.
He was working on a-a battery.
We searched Brakebills South...
Still, they feel that, uh,
the resources of this school
would be best spent
continuing to search for...
I cannot stop my students
from searching.
But we are a school.
We still teach here.
It is perhaps more important than ever.
If they don't learn it,
I fear no one will ever again,
you understand?
I fear that too.
But if you don't find them something...
[SIGHS]
The board is gonna
close down Brakebills.
You have to give them something, Henry.
Quickly.
[FOREBODING MUSIC]
So, what do you think?
Okay, say you were to do it.
Work your way through some
piddly little Earth gods,
find a way to talk to an actual Old God,
and you say what?
Hi, please reconsider,
even though you are
a billion times smarter than I,
and... and... more powerful,
if you could please bring back
magic, that would be great.
I don't know, I just...
I figured it couldn't hurt
to get a little closer
and maybe meet someone
who knew more than we do.
- I hear you, Q, I do. I just...
- What?
I wouldn't want what happened to me
to happen to anyone else.
Look, you don't have to come.
I just... I just wanted you to know.
Okay, you're gonna do a summoning alone?
[SIGHS] Yeah.
I don't... I don't know.
Okay, say I was willing to risk it.
I mean, it requires serious, big magic.
Okay, well, cultures all over the world
have believed in these gods.
How did they call them?
Suffice to say, not quite the party
I was expecting when
I came down here, but...
I think I could help you.
How can I help you?
Yeah.

My kingdom is in trouble now.
You are a good king.

In order to do that,
you must travel to a land
where you are no king, no Magician,

Honestly,
that sounds like something
I might really fuck up.
Yes, or it wouldn't be a quest.
You have friends, don't you?
I used to.
The one-eyed conqueror,
the traveler, the warrior,
the fool, the god-touched,
the lover of tomatoes,
and the torture artist...
Wait, which one is that?

You have a brother of the heart

- You're parts of one whole.
No one can do this alone.
Okay.
FYI, I can't contact them
