00:00You're too late, Librarian.
00:30You're too late, Librarian.
01:00No, no, no, no, no, Charlie.
01:12Charlie.
01:14Please don't be dead.
01:18I thought I lost you.
01:19You can't get rid of me that easily.
01:21Oh, my shoulder, it's desiccated.
01:35You're alive, thank goodness.
01:39What happened to us?
01:41I can't remember anything.
01:43Me neither.
01:45Damn, I feel like a truck around me.
01:47No, wait, don't move.
01:51Get an icicle sticking out of your leg.
01:53What?
01:53Liza, give me your sash.
01:55Oh, my God.
01:57Is he going to be okay?
01:59We can't remove the ice.
02:00It could be compressing blood vessels keeping you from bleeding out.
02:02You just have to wait until it melts to see how bad it is.
02:05Come on.
02:10Okay, cool.
02:11Don't big deal.
02:12Any ideas how an icicle landed in my thigh?
02:15Something or someone clearly tried to kill us.
02:19Weren't we at Suki's bachelorette party?
02:21Who is Suki?
02:22I don't know.
02:22My memory's so fuzzy.
02:24My head is killing me.
02:26It's called a hangover.
02:27Suki.
02:28My best friend.
02:30The bride.
02:32It was Suki's bachelorette party.
02:40Remind me, a bachelorette is a party for a lady to celebrate the end of a lady's loneliness
02:44before she is sold to a man.
02:46No, women aren't sold.
02:47Ah, yes, I meant, before she's exchanged for family wealth.
02:50So you rented a chateau for her party?
02:53Well, when she called me to say that she was engaged,
02:56I told her I was living in Belgrade,
02:57and she said that's the perfect place for a party.
03:00And do many brides invite strangers to these parties?
03:03Well, no, but then she called last night
03:05and told me that all of her friends' flights were canceled,
03:07so no one is coming.
03:09Ah, so we're the backup.
03:11Hmm.
03:11You sure this is a good idea?
03:13And what if the library needs us?
03:15Well, that's why we're here and far away from the annex.
03:18Besides, we could do with a day off.
03:21A day off.
03:22Where's Lysa, and what have you done with her?
03:25She's here.
03:26Be nice.
03:28Suki's the closest thing I have to a sister.
03:32Did Lysa just...
03:33Squeal?
03:37Oh, my God.
03:39Oh, my God.
03:48Does anyone else feel like we just entered the twilight zone?
03:50Oh, my God.
03:51You're my something blue.
03:54Everyone, this is my best friend, Suki.
03:57It's nice to meet you.
03:58I thought we were staying at your castle.
04:01Well, I wanted to surprise you with something special.
04:03I rented this whole shadow just for your party.
04:05But look, we have the whole place to ourselves.
04:07Well, what's the point when no one else is even coming?
04:10I told you, the flights were canceled.
04:11No one is showing up.
04:12Well, that's the second surprise.
04:14I brought my friends to join us.
04:17I guess I'll be able to get to know these friends you've told me nothing about.
04:21See if they're worthy.
04:22Trust me, we're going to be like a family in no time.
04:25Come on.
04:28Here you go.
04:30Look.
04:32Oh, my gosh.
04:35The rest of the night was a blur.
04:37I can remember bits and pieces.
04:39We danced, we sang, we drank.
04:42Everything was going great until the ice sculpture shattered.
04:45I can't remember anything after that, except falling down the stairs.
04:53Me neither.
04:54The ice sculpture, that must be how I got impaled.
04:56As you are all aware, my memory is far superior than yours.
04:59And yet, I remember nothing.
05:02I must have been charmed.
05:03Or hexed, or...
05:08Blackout drunk?
05:09I definitely remember you having way too many of those girly cocktails.
05:13Impossible.
05:14I do not black out.
05:16There is something sinister at work.
05:18If only we had the clues to find out what it was.
05:21Maybe Vikram's right.
05:24Tsuki.
05:26What if what tried to kill us has got her?
05:27Lysa.
05:28Lysa.
05:29Lysa!
05:29Tsuki could be in danger.
05:31Think!
05:32Whatever threw us down those stairs,
05:34and tried to kill us,
05:36could be behind that door right now.
05:38We need answers.
05:41We need to remember.
05:45We must remember what happened.
05:50Only then can we face what lies beyond that door.
05:54Vikram's right.
05:56We need to play defense right now, not offense.
05:58Yeah, you can't take whatever did this to us on your own.
06:00Okay.
06:01Fine.
06:03How are we gonna solve it?
06:04Everyone, tell me the pieces you remember,
06:07and we'll put it together.
06:08Hmm?
06:09Like a puzzle.
06:10All right, then.
06:13From the beginning.
06:15What I remember,
06:17we were in the photo booth.
06:18Feeling like I was in for a rough night ahead,
06:20I...
06:20I was mad we were skipping out on work.
06:25Vikram!
06:28Vikram!
06:28It's us.
06:34We just took these photos,
06:36and there they are.
06:36Like magic.
06:38Is he okay?
06:39He's a bit odd.
06:41Uh, he grew up in a cult.
06:44No technology,
06:44very old passion,
06:46and he just got out.
06:47I'm, uh,
06:47helping him, uh,
06:49with the modern ways of life.
06:51Hardly seems like a worthy use of your time.
06:53Oh, hold on a sec.
06:57What's with the trench coat and hat?
06:58I like it.
07:00It's moody.
07:01It's my story.
07:02Don't interrupt.
07:03As I was saying,
07:04Suki wanted to go to her room
07:05to put her engagement ring away for safekeeping.
07:08I somehow got stuck carrying all her bags.
07:11But that's where I overheard something worrying.
07:23Welcome.
07:28It seems like she won't show me the castle.
07:31We'll have to find a way to convince her to sell anyway.
07:41Aren't you...
07:42Gregor's hammer, baby.
07:44Tonight, it's gonna be metal to the max.
07:46Uh, do you know any ABBA songs?
07:49Didn't I say I wanted a DJ?
07:51Um, yes.
07:52Well, that was the plan.
07:53Aren't you supposed to be a party planner?
07:55Bachelor parties have planners?
07:57Evidently not very good ones.
07:59You can't reschedule a few flights.
08:01You can't get the right music.
08:02Can you do anything right?
08:03She always is intense.
08:05She's distressed.
08:07Nothing's going to plan.
08:08I can fix it.
08:09You shouldn't have to.
08:12Listen, I need to talk to you
08:13about what I overheard her say.
08:14Please.
08:15Not right now, Charlie.
08:16Please.
08:17Hi.
08:20Sorry.
08:21Thank God my friends aren't here
08:22to see what a mess you've made of this.
08:24This one's called fuzzy navel.
08:27This uses navel fuzz.
08:29How grotesque.
08:30Taste it.
08:31It's good.
08:35Tastes like fruit.
08:36That's what makes it so dangerous.
08:37Charlie, you really must try one of these.
08:39We have a more urgent mission.
08:42I think the band needs you.
08:47Ever heard Liza's friend on the phone?
08:49She's trying to convince Liza to sell the castle.
08:51Liza wouldn't do that without talking to us first.
08:54Would she?
08:55What would happen to the annex if she sells?
08:57One more fuzzly navely thingy.
09:02And you keep them coming.
09:04It was clearly up to me to find proof
09:06that Sookie was a double-crossing con artist
09:08before Liza made a big mistake.
09:10The bride wants everyone in these.
09:12Please.
09:13She's already mad enough.
09:14Has she always been this demanding?
09:15It wouldn't be a profession of me to say.
09:17Ah, well, that answers that.
09:19Sookie's officially the worst.
09:21Did you see where she went?
09:22Uh, the ladies room to freshen up,
09:24but don't tell her I said anything.
09:28Secret's safe with me.
09:32Secret seemed to be the theme of the party.
09:34Back in the military,
09:35I learned skills to suss out secrets from a target.
09:38It was my job now to bring them into the light.
09:39You just need to get to know them.
09:41I don't want to get to know them.
09:43You need to think about who you're giving your time to.
09:45That cult survivor, Victor.
09:48Vikram.
09:49Well, he's taking advantage of your generosity.
09:52Oh, and I look Conor up.
09:53You know he was an internet conspiracy theorist?
09:57Totally wackadoo crazy.
09:58Sure.
09:59They're eccentric, but they're smart.
10:01And the girl.
10:02Ugh, she has a resting bitch face.
10:05I don't like her.
10:12Suki, wait.
10:17Perfect.
10:17Wait a minute.
10:19What is resting bitch face?
10:22Oh, it's when someone always looks mad.
10:28Why?
10:29Ah, I see it.
10:30You mean like, um...
10:32No, no, it's more like, uh...
10:35No, you're both throwing it wrong.
10:36You have to look more bored like this.
10:39Oh, that's good.
10:40Oh, very funny.
10:43As I was saying.
10:47Ooh, I'm a little man.
10:49I'm not scared of anything.
10:51But wait, what that is.
10:53Vikram, Chamberlain.
10:55I've been gone for a while,
10:57but now I'm back again.
10:58A, E.
11:00I knew I had to catch Suki in a lie.
11:03But the question was how.
11:04No, no, no, no, that wasn't supposed to happen until midnight.
11:17What the hell?
11:19Oh, everything keeps going wrong.
11:22You're fired.
11:23No, no, no.
11:23What about the sexiest on the beach
11:25and all those colorful drinks?
11:26Those lovely umbrellas.
11:28He was trying to sabotage my party.
11:30Take a breath, lady.
11:31It was an accident.
11:32No, none of you are even trying to enjoy yourself.
11:35You haven't even tried to get to know us.
11:37I know you wish your real friends were here,
11:38but it's not our fault their flight was canceled.
11:41What flight?
11:42Your friend's flight.
11:44Oh, right.
11:47Well, maybe try being fun
11:50instead of lurking like losers.
11:59Suki?
12:00She was lying.
12:07About what?
12:08All flights into Belgrade arrived today on time.
12:12I caught her in a lie,
12:13but I didn't know her motive,
12:15so I had to do the last thing I wanted to.
12:17I had to pretend to enjoy a bachelorette party.
12:20We got off on the wrong foot.
12:22Can we start over?
12:23I'd love that.
12:28To your new friends.
12:29Mm-hmm.
12:35Where'd the band go?
12:37Oh, they're on their 10-minute break.
12:40Let me get this party started.
12:42Oh, finally, something we can dance to.
12:49You know what?
12:52Let me take a picture of you two.
12:54Oh, my God.
12:55Yes, yes.
12:57Say bachelorette.
12:59Bachelorette.
13:00Gorgeous.
13:04Oh, that's so lovely.
13:05You know what we need?
13:07Cocktails.
13:07Yes.
13:09What?
13:09You've had enough.
13:16Everyone keeps denying me drinks.
13:19Focus.
13:21I keep watch for me.
13:23Oh, yes, sir.
13:24Do you get it?
13:25Because you usually call me sir.
13:28That's weird.
13:29So could you not invite anyone else?
13:31Liz is the only guest.
13:33Not much of a party.
13:35And look at this.
13:38Do you know what this means?
13:39Suki is a sad woman who has no other friends besides Lysa
13:43and has a keen interest in Belgrade's architectural marvels.
13:48No, it means I was right.
13:50Suki is trying to buy the castle.
13:54We might be too late.
13:56Did you finally learn to sing Dancing Queen?
13:59Because if you can't play it, you can get out.
14:02Seriously?
14:03Seriously.
14:04I need a word with you.
14:08Sorry.
14:09You'll be paid in full.
14:11Thank you for your time.
14:12We can speak in the photo booth.
14:14Oh, so sorry.
14:19You lied.
14:21No, you didn't invite anyone else.
14:22This whole thing was a ruse.
14:23You stole my phone?
14:24The only reason you're here is to get Lysa to sell you the castle.
14:28You know, Lysa is one of the smartest people I know.
14:31A leader.
14:33And all she's done is follow you around like a lost puppy.
14:36She's not herself.
14:38Are you blackmailing her?
14:39You're right about one thing.
14:42She hasn't been herself.
14:44She won't talk to me about this new job that took her away from her real job, her real home, her real friend.
14:50Me.
14:50Oh, is everything all right?
14:53No.
14:54Sookie's a liar.
14:55A manipulative bitch.
15:01And that's when I slipped crushing into that stupid ice sculpture.
15:04I must have hit my head because I can't remember anything else.
15:06You didn't knock over the ice sculpture.
15:08I did.
15:09And I know it was me because I was rushing back to you to tell you that Sookie was using magic.
15:15She had an artifact.
15:19Wait.
15:21If there was an artifact, and I'm only saying if, maybe it will help us work out who or what throws down the stairs.
15:27But if you're suggesting that Sookie tried to kill us, you're a crazy...
15:30Well, she could have been using an artifact without knowing.
15:34But where is it?
15:36When I knocked into the sculpture, I must have dropped it.
15:42And what is it?
15:44And can I explain where my memories went?
15:46Try looking in a cocktail glass.
15:49Charlie got to tell her whole story, don't I get to tell mine?
15:54What's your name again?
15:56Green.
15:58Connor Green.
15:59Pose with me, Mr. Green.
16:03That's quite the ring.
16:04Isn't it?
16:05And my fiancé got it for me in Croatia, where he proposed.
16:09Ah, so romantic.
16:11I don't want to lose it while we party the night away.
16:14Can I put it somewhere safe?
16:16I bet Connor knows a safe spot.
16:19She was not flirting with you.
16:27If she was flirting with anyone, it would have been me.
16:30And what was with the whole British accent?
16:33Green.
16:34Connor Green.
16:35My story.
16:36Shush.
16:38As I was saying.
16:39We know you.
16:43Woo!
16:44Crackers hammer, baby!
16:46Woo!
16:47You mean to tell me that we have a private performance on the premier metal band in Belgrade.
16:53Uh-huh.
16:54Hmm.
16:55Something different about you.
16:57Hmm.
16:57New haircut.
16:58Hmm?
16:59Tattoo?
16:59Piercing.
17:02Oh.
17:02But we don't know you.
17:04Oh, right.
17:05Sorry.
17:06Um, I'm Viola.
17:07The party planner.
17:08I heard things aren't going very smoothly.
17:11She hired a planner?
17:14So he didn't trust I could do this on my own?
17:17This is a disaster.
17:18Before I knew it, Charlie was begging me for help.
17:21I did not beg.
17:23I beg to differ.
17:24Please, Connor.
17:26Now you have to help me.
17:27We all know you're the smartest and brightest of all of us.
17:29That's I am.
17:31This one's called a Long Island Iced Tea.
17:34Iced Tea.
17:35A drink I have heard of.
17:37Hmm.
17:37Oh.
17:42That's amazing.
17:43That's what makes it so dangerous.
17:45I think the band needs you.
17:48Why would Suki think she could buy the castle?
17:53And why is Liza acting so weird?
17:55Hmm.
17:55Let's consider the facts.
17:57Liza, who has never once shown an interest in parties,
18:00is suddenly determined to prove herself
18:01to someone who treats her like a puppet.
18:04Do you know Dancing Queen?
18:06Um.
18:07Better learn fast.
18:08Liza and I have a choreographed dance to perform.
18:10You remember it, don't you?
18:12Of course I do.
18:13Prove it.
18:15Five, six, seven, eight.
18:18That's when I realized Liza was not herself.
18:21She was under the power of some kind of magic.
18:25It must be mind magic.
18:27Liza would never suspect that she hates to accept magic in the first place.
18:30It is up to us to find the source.
18:32Liza and the library depend on it.
18:34Brilliant deduction, Connor.
18:35You have everything under control.
18:37Keep an eye on Liza and Suki.
18:38On it, sir.
18:39I am going artifact hunting.
18:45If I were an artifact...
18:48Where would I be?
18:51Green.
19:11Conagry.
19:12No, no.
19:21This wasn't supposed to happen until midnight.
19:23What the hell?
19:24Oh, everything keeps going wrong.
19:27Why don't you take a deep breath?
19:28Uh, how do I fix this?
19:30Fire the bartender?
19:32But I have not had my Cosmo yet.
19:33Is that really necessary?
19:35Come on.
19:36Hold me.
19:37Hold me.
19:37Hold me.
19:37Hold me.
19:39Hold me.
19:41Think, Vic.
19:46What kind of artifact could Suki be using to control Liza like this?
19:49The hypnotic watch of James Braid, father of hypnosis?
19:52You are holding one of my final drinks hostage now that our beloved bartender is gone.
19:57Focus.
19:58Do you want to know what I really think?
20:00Finally.
20:01Yes.
20:02I think you're jealous.
20:05No, that's what?
20:06That's not helpful.
20:07Oh, the gentleman does protest too much, methinks.
20:09Why would I be jealous?
20:10Because Liza has a friend with a life outside the library, hmm?
20:14She has something to go back to.
20:18Oh, I envy her.
20:18Both of them, hmm?
20:20If I had the chance to propose to Anya, I...
20:24I would have traveled to Globe to find the most perfect ring, just like Suki's fiancée, hmm?
20:32The ring.
20:32Hey, that was my drink.
20:39Suki's ring was inside the safe in the guest room.
20:42To get there unnoticed, I had to be stuck.
20:48No, it did not happen.
20:50Fine.
20:50But you gotta admit, Scanlon and the cows will be a way better story.
20:53No, it did not happen.
21:23But that's not a reason to stay.
21:28You know he's not my type.
21:30He is cute, though.
21:32And then I got stuck under the bed for what felt like an eternity.
21:35I couldn't let Suki know I'd found the artifact, so I waited.
21:39And waited.
21:41Finally, you left.
21:43And I made my escape.
21:44You did not repel.
21:58You're no fun.
21:59Ow!
22:00Lysa.
22:02Lysa.
22:02I have to tell you.
22:04You're not.
22:04And that's the last thing I remember.
22:08Suki's ring is an artifact.
22:09She's using it against us.
22:11And it slipped out of my hands when I fell.
22:13A compelling story.
22:15Right?
22:15I'm a great storyteller.
22:17Well, that's all it is.
22:18A story.
22:20Look.
22:21Suki isn't using magic.
22:22And neither of you broke the ice sculpture.
22:25I did.
22:27Before I had the chance to tell you that I've made my decision.
22:34I'm going to leave the library.
22:41She's using magic to take you out of the picture.
22:43She's dangerous, Lysa.
22:44You are being ridiculous.
22:45Everyone, quiet.
22:48Lysa.
22:48Please, tell us your vision.
22:53Fine.
22:55But can I just preemptively say, I told you so?
23:02I'm so glad you're here.
23:04I'm so glad I'm here.
23:06We always dreamed about doing this together, and now we finally are.
23:11Okay.
23:12Woo!
23:13Uh, come on.
23:17Smile.
23:17Right from the start, you didn't even try and have fun.
23:20You didn't even have the decency to try and hide it.
23:23At least Vikram was having a good time.
23:25Vikram.
23:27Vikram!
23:27Probably too much of a good time.
23:29Live music.
23:31Even better than a DJ.
23:32Thank you so much for showing up last minute.
23:34You're a lifesaver.
23:35It's the least we could do after you saved my sister's life.
23:37You thought I was panicking.
23:39But how do you think we got Gregor's hammer?
23:41When plan A failed, I pivoted to plan B.
23:44I booked the band.
23:45Any chance, you know, Dancing Queen, Liza and I have this choreographed dance.
23:49You remember it, don't you?
23:50Of course I remember it.
23:52Prove it.
23:53Right.
23:54Okay.
23:57Five, six, seven, eight.
23:59Ready?
24:09Mm-hmm.
24:14Uh, hey, look what I've got.
24:17Tell them to get dressed and to start participating.
24:19Look.
24:20Come on.
24:23Your new friends don't like me.
24:26That is not true.
24:27You just need to get to know them.
24:29I don't know.
24:31Vikram is from here, and he has been teaching me all about my family history.
24:36Things I didn't even know.
24:37And Connor, he looks familiar.
24:40He's kind of internet famous.
24:44Charlie hates me, doesn't she?
24:47Charlie stuff.
24:48She's a military kid, but underneath all of that, it's just because she cares.
24:52Well, if they give me a chance, I'll give them one.
24:57And besides, there is no reason for you to be jealous.
25:00Because you will always be my number one.
25:03Okay?
25:04Okay.
25:05Okay.
25:05I'm not little back.
25:09I'm not scared of anything.
25:11But please, watch that.
25:12It's the alarm.
25:14Chamberlain, I've been gone for a while, but now I'm back.
25:20No, no, this wasn't supposed to happen until midnight.
25:23It's not a big deal.
25:24It's not a big deal, promise.
25:25No, no, no, Suki, please don't get upset.
25:27I can fix this.
25:27It's not that.
25:28I just, uh, it's been hard at home without you, you know?
25:33I just, I wanted this weekend to be perfect.
25:35It doesn't have to be perfect.
25:37All that matters is that we're together.
25:39Yeah.
25:39Oh.
25:41I thought things were turning a corner.
25:43We were finally having fun.
25:44Say bachelorette.
25:47Bachelorette.
25:52So cute.
25:53I love it.
25:53You know what we need?
25:55Cocktails.
25:56Yes.
25:57I have something I want to give you.
26:01Okay.
26:01Come with me.
26:04It's in here somewhere.
26:08Uh...
26:09Here it is.
26:12Remember these?
26:14You still have these?
26:16Of course I do.
26:18I thought maybe it might remind you of home.
26:27There.
26:30Speaking of, are you any closer to coming back home?
26:36I know I should.
26:37It's just if I leave now, everything I've done here will be a waste of time.
26:41But you spent your whole life working to get that company up and running.
26:45And then left everything behind.
26:49Including me.
26:49I know.
26:50I know.
26:51I know.
26:51I'm sorry.
26:53I just got caught up in this world.
26:55In this life.
26:57Do these people even care about you?
27:00Do they even really know you?
27:01You can't sell the castle, make money for your company, and come home.
27:15You're right.
27:17I have overstayed my welcome.
27:19Maybe it is time to come home.
27:23So do you see now?
27:24We're all wrong about her.
27:26She doesn't have anyone else.
27:27That's why no one else was invited.
27:29And the cracked ring?
27:31Well, it's just that.
27:32A cheap, cracked ring.
27:33She wants everyone to believe that she's something that she's not.
27:36And she's trying to get me to sell the castle to help her failing real estate career.
27:40I thought she wanted to buy it.
27:42Are you kidding?
27:43She can't afford it.
27:44She's been trying to convince me to hire her to sell it.
27:47You don't sound like someone under a magic spell.
27:49Because I'm not.
27:51I just realized she was right about a few things.
27:54Specifically, my future here.
27:56None of us will be here after our six months are up.
27:58So I came back to tell you that I realized I needed to go home.
28:10And that's when I broke the sculpture.
28:13Well, you can't all have broken the sculpture.
28:17Must be missing something.
28:21Listen, man.
28:21The first time I had a Long Island iced tea, I also woke up with no memories.
28:25So.
28:28No, wait.
28:29Vikram is right.
28:30Some burlesque traces of valerian root on it.
28:32It's a sleeping drug.
28:34Suki uses it for insomnia.
28:35She had some in her...
28:37back.
28:37I knew it.
28:39I told you so.
28:40Suki drugged Vikram.
28:40She did try to kill us.
28:42Oh, but...
28:45Suki didn't give me any drinks.
28:48I saved this just for you.
29:08Oh, can't you see?
29:09Can't you see?
29:10Our villain is hiding in plain sight.
29:14I just needed all your stories to put it all together.
29:17Put what together?
29:18No, we are not just dealing with an artifact here.
29:21We are against a powerful spirit that has escaped from its cage.
29:27An ice veela.
29:29A veela?
29:29Aren't they fairies that put men in trances?
29:32Veela's come in many forms, in many different cultures.
29:35An ice veela being the most rare.
29:37Oh, they feed on the coldest and cruelest of all human emotions.
29:43Hatred.
29:44They choose a target, corrupt it, and ultimately, using self-loathing, consume their soul.
29:50In this case, the prey was Suki.
29:52The ice veela turned us against her.
29:54She made sure the bartender dropped those drinks and caused the petals to fall.
30:03Causing stress to Suki.
30:05She manipulated us.
30:07She told us Suki demanded we get dressed up.
30:09No, no, that was me.
30:11I asked for the outfits.
30:12I asked if she'd been treated poorly this whole time.
30:15It wouldn't be a profession of me to say.
30:17Ah, well, that answers that.
30:19Suki's officially the worst.
30:21Connor's words fed the spell.
30:22And after I confronted Suki and ran into Viola and said...
30:25You know, Suki's a liar.
30:27A manipulative bitch.
30:30Your words strengthen the magic.
30:33As did mine.
30:37I saved this just for you.
30:40I'm so sorry there aren't more.
30:43I'm trying my best.
30:44It's just that Suki's a particular bride.
30:46Oh, do not worry, my dear.
30:48You are doing a marvellous job.
30:51And between me and you, Suki is a bit of a shrew.
30:54Very self-centred young lady.
30:56You said it, not me.
31:17Oh, is everything all right?
31:24No.
31:24Suki's a liar.
31:26A manipulative bitch.
31:27Can I talk to you?
31:29Lysa, I have to tell you what I found.
31:31I was right.
31:32Suki's a witch.
31:33She's been using magic to control you.
31:34She's been lying to you.
31:36Married for longer than you think.
31:37And you don't know what you're talking about.
31:38Suki is my BFF.
31:40See?
31:40That's something the Lysa we know would never say.
31:43She's not who you think she is.
31:45Whoa, I have known you guys, what, a few months?
31:48Suki and I have been best friends since I was 15.
31:49If I'm gonna trust anyone, it's her.
31:53We're trying to help you.
31:55Yeah, you're with us.
31:56We're in the library now.
31:57So what, I have to choose between you and my best friend?
31:59That's not what we're saying.
32:00Because I'll choose Suki.
32:01I'll always choose her.
32:03She's always been there for me.
32:05At school, when no one showed up to my birthday, Suki did.
32:08And when I had nowhere to go for the holidays
32:09because I was the weird, nerdy, orphan kid,
32:13Suki took me home with her.
32:16Maybe she was, she was right about you guys.
32:19Lysa.
32:20No, I have had enough silly library excursions
32:23to last me a lifetime.
32:25I need to go back to reality.
32:28I'm done.
32:30The only reason you're here
32:32is to get Lysa to sell you the castle.
32:34You know, Lysa is one of the smartest people I know.
32:37She's a leader.
32:38And all she's been doing
32:38is following you around like a lost puppy.
32:40What is this?
32:42I tried to warn you.
32:43No, she's not herself.
32:45Are you blackmailing her?
32:47You're right.
32:48She hasn't been herself.
32:50Oh, she won't talk to me about this new job
32:51that took her away from her real job,
32:53her real home, her real friend, me.
32:55You're holding her back from her potential.
32:56And you're using her,
32:58just like everyone else would have
33:00if I hadn't been there to stop them.
33:01What's that supposed to mean?
33:02I made sure no one came to her parties in school.
33:05They just would have taken advantage of her.
33:07I made sure the only person she could rely on was me.
33:11Does Lysa know about this?
33:13Is that true?
33:20You're the reason I didn't have any friends?
33:22I didn't want to share you.
33:26So our whole friendship was a lie.
33:31You're a terrible friend.
33:33I'm sorry, Lysa.
33:34I didn't realize until I just heard myself.
33:38You deserve better.
33:39I'm worse than a bad friend.
33:42I'm a bad person.
33:45Finally.
33:46You had all turned against her.
33:48But she had to turn herself for the spell to be complete.
33:58I knew it was magic.
34:02Vikram!
34:05I took your librarian out of the picture.
34:07There's nothing you can do.
34:10Suki's soul is mine.
34:19Connor?
34:31What's happening to me?
34:32What's going on?
34:56You're too late, librarian.
34:58Oh, dear.
34:58I can't believe I let a snarky ice feeler fool me.
35:14Why didn't we remember this part of the story earlier?
35:16You were caught in a blast when the spell exploded.
35:19It affected your memories.
35:20Oh, like a concussion.
35:22Wait, how come you could remember everything?
35:23Well, I was outside of it.
35:26I was still affected by this sleeping drug, which wore off once I was able to jog my memory.
35:31Like I said, my mind is superior to yours.
35:33Good news.
35:34You're not going to bleed out.
35:35Yeah.
35:36Didn't hit a femoral artery.
35:37Best thing I've heard all day.
35:41So.
35:43Can we now stop the fila and save my best friend, please?
35:46Well, now that we know what we're up against, let's find out.
36:00You're too late.
36:01In mere moments, her soul will belong to me.
36:04And why would you care?
36:05You admitted you hate her.
36:07She even hates herself.
36:08I was around for hundreds of years before I was trapped inside that wretched piece of jewelry.
36:13Right again.
36:14It was the ring.
36:16Man, I'm on a roll.
36:17The one consistent human trait I've witnessed over centuries is your capacity for hatred.
36:23To others, to yourselves, your species is self-centered and self-loathing.
36:29It's what made her such an easy target.
36:31How did you land upon her finger?
36:34Funny story, that.
36:35The engagement was a lie.
36:37Pitiful girl.
36:38She bought the ring here in Belgrade for a steal, if you ask me.
36:42And wearing the ring released you from your prison.
36:44Now her soul will belong to me.
36:46And my full power will be restored.
36:49Finally.
36:51Take me instead of her.
36:52Issa, no.
36:53Why would you do that?
36:54She lied to you.
36:56She hurt you.
36:57My parents died.
36:58I had no one.
36:59No friends, no family.
37:00And then I met my roommate.
37:02She saved me from loneliness.
37:03Sure, she's selfish and way too overprotective.
37:06But she's family.
37:10Family that you choose.
37:12And I forgive her.
37:14Because I love her.
37:16I will accept you in her place.
37:17Take me instead.
37:27What are you doing?
37:28Oh, you hurt her.
37:30She only feeds on the selfish.
37:31And you just offered the purest act of selfless love.
37:34We are a team.
37:37A family by choice.
37:39Like you said.
37:41And I love you.
37:42And I don't want her to take your soul.
37:45Then take me instead of Vikram.
37:47And me instead of Charlie.
37:49And me for Connor.
37:51If Lysa loves you like a family,
37:53that means you're my family too.
37:56What are you doing?
37:57Stop it!
37:57You can't take any of us.
37:58We are all protected.
38:00By each other.
38:06No!
38:11Oh, man.
38:13Oh, man.
38:19Oh!
38:20Ow!
38:21Ow!
38:21You brilliant mind!
38:23How did you know that was going to work?
38:25I didn't.
38:26I just told the truth.
38:27And what a risk to take.
38:29I could only do that because of you.
38:31You've taught us to take risks for the one we love.
38:38I am so sorry.
38:39When we broke off the engagement,
38:41I didn't want to cancel.
38:42I was just so excited that you offered to host.
38:45And I missed you.
38:47I don't deserve you.
38:49And I was wrong about your friends.
38:51They're good people.
38:54Hey.
38:55This has been an ordeal.
38:57Let's call it a bonding experience.
39:01And you're right.
39:03They're great people.
39:11I'm going to miss you.
39:12Well, I can't say I'll miss this place,
39:15but I will miss you.
39:17Oh, and if you do decide to sell.
39:19We won't miss you.
39:20You're funny.
39:22Literally, no one has ever said that about her.
39:26Almost forgot.
39:27This is the box that terrifying ring came in.
39:30I want to be as far away from that madness as possible.
39:33Don't worry.
39:34Our job is to protect the world from that kind of madness.
39:37It'll be safe.
39:39In the library.
39:39Hey, guys.
39:45I'm sorry for how I acted.
39:47Threatening to leave.
39:49It was a stereotypical act of age regression.
39:52Is that some sort of magic where you age backwards?
39:54It's psychology.
39:54You revert to childlike behaviors
39:56when you're around people from your past.
39:58I love Suki.
39:59But, uh, maybe the distance will do us good.
40:01That sounds like the life that we know and love.
40:03Uh, you're not the only one who needs to apologize.
40:13We screwed up.
40:15We did?
40:16We realized all this is temporary.
40:20We don't know what the future holds.
40:21It's kind of scary.
40:23Yeah, I'm not really a big planner.
40:25Well, luckily for you, that is my area of expertise.
40:29It would be unrealistic to not make plans for the future, right?
40:33What's next?
40:39Look who I found.
40:42Hey.
40:42Hey.
40:43I just came back to get these.
40:47Glasses.
40:48I knew there was something different.
40:50They sued you.
40:51Thanks.
40:52Well, see you around.
40:55Maybe.
40:56Well, get a drink sometime.
41:03Did you get everything you needed?
41:15Everything and more.
41:17You did well.
41:18Brad.
41:19Sir.
41:20Are you prepared to take our next steps
41:22to bring me from this time prison into your world?
41:25Yeah, man.
41:27Sounds metal.
41:28Excellent.
41:29Vikram took my life.
41:30Trapped me.
41:32But now I know who he loves here.
41:35And where they are.
41:36Where the library is.
41:38I know how to hurt him.
41:40The way he hurt me.
41:41Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha
