00:00These do not appear to be serious scholars.
00:05Smart people don't have to wear robes anymore.
00:07Some of the sharpest kids in the city come here to study.
00:09I was only 15 when I took my first course at Oxford.
00:12I knew we'd get to you somehow.
00:14I just think your campaign to bring me up-to-date in modern science is a little bit silly.
00:18I was considered quite the dimber-damber in astronomy circles.
00:21As Galileo said, I have loved the stars too fondly to be fearful of the night.
00:26Yeah, well, we've learned a lot since your time.
00:28You may have shiny new facts at your disposal,
00:30but you will never know the thrill of living in an era of pure scientific inquiry,
00:34the days of Morrie and Dalton when gifted amateurs lit the way.
00:38But science isn't about nostalgia. It's about looking forward.
00:41There have been huge discoveries in the last 170 years.
00:45This is why this is a good opportunity for you.
00:47Ralston Kirch is a genius.
00:50Look over there.
00:52That is where she developed her hypothesis on interstellar dust and active galactic nuclei.
00:57Just sitting under a tree, watching the oil droplets in her teeth.
01:01And?
01:02And then BOOM!
01:04Scientific inspiration.
01:06It's a famous story.
01:08And riveting. I'm sure.
01:11She was at Stanford when I was doing my first masters.
01:18Her work on quasars was a real inspiration to me.
01:21Quasars?
01:22Yeah, a supercluster of stars discovered in the 1950s.
01:25Dr. Kirch found a way to use them to predict celestial events, like black holes.
01:29It's all about predicting with you, isn't it?
01:41These are your seats, seven and eight, rule three.
01:47You're welcome.
01:48You did that charmingly.
01:51All I did was show you your seats.
01:58I think she fancies me.
02:03Do you want to know another discovery in the last 170 years?
02:06Creepy staring, not sexy.
02:09This must be recent.
02:12Thank you all for being here to celebrate the restoration of the Kutuzov telescope.
02:20Now, the committee that raised the funds for all of this was led by today's speaker.
02:24So please welcome back to our campus one of the world's preeminent astrophysicists,
02:29Dr. Rosalind Kirch.
02:35Thank you, Dr. St. Morris.
02:37And thank you for the tour of the new observatory.
02:39What a privilege to be back on campus as a visiting professor.
02:43This is where I first developed my hypothesis on X-ray emission as a predictor of an accreting black hole system.
02:49I remember it like it was yesterday.
02:51I was sitting out on Observatory Hill and I...
02:58Oh.
03:09Am I still...
03:12My water?
03:13You were talking about the day that you formed your galactic nuclear hypothesis.
03:18Oh.
03:21You'll have to forgive me.
03:22I don't think I'll be able to.
03:27Dr. Kirch is extremely jet-lighting.
03:29Oh.
03:30Give us a moment, please.
03:31Come on.
03:32It's fine.
03:33It's fine.
03:48She has one of the sharpest minds I've ever known.
03:50To see her have a neurocognitive episode is just upsetting.
03:53Yeah.
03:54We went through the same thing when my grandfather started off with him forgetting to shut the refrigerator.
03:58Before you knew it, he didn't even recognize us.
04:00You've got to appreciate being young.
04:02Aging is no picnic.
04:03This was not a product of age.
04:05I believe that she was under a spell.
04:08He's the librarian, therefore he thinks everything must be magic.
04:11You know the saying, when all you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail.
04:14She froze, then shuddered, a tale-tale sign of memory theft.
04:19There are powerful artifacts that could cause this.
04:22Talon of Hydrolath.
04:23That is one, but that is already in the library.
04:27I recovered that one myself.
04:30Oh.
04:32Perhaps a tally stick.
04:34We don't have to ascribe everything to the supernatural or being possessed by demons.
04:39Dementia is a normal and sad part of aging.
04:42Or a Santaj could have pronounced an incantation over that porn.
04:47Is anyone going to help me out here?
04:52It's been so sluggish lately.
04:54So according to Elaine's instructions, I gave it a tarnished bath and realigned its mercury cup and ball weight.
05:02Now why is it doing that?
05:12The College of Science Observatory.
05:17As I suspected.
05:19That's a lot.
05:20So, magic in the neighborhood, huh?
05:22Let's not jump to conclusions.
05:23This could be something else unrelated to Dr. Courage.
05:25Kind of a coincidence though, don't you think?
05:27What I saw wasn't supernatural.
05:29It was human and sad.
05:31Some aberration has occurred to this woman.
05:33Now I've trained myself to be observant.
05:35To remember details.
05:36Well, I don't need to remember.
05:38I got it right here.
05:47I remember it like it was yesterday.
05:49I was sitting on Observatory Hill and I was...
05:56Wait a minute.
05:58Did you see that?
05:59Use my AI Enhanced 3D program.
06:04Very cool.
06:16Don't.
06:21Well, we need to talk to the victim.
06:23And investigate what is happening at this observatory.
06:29That's it.
06:43The solution to the Bolkansky Millennial Prize problem.
06:45I believe it is.
06:46You came to me in a flash last night.
06:50Uh, nice to Pascal.
06:52I was in your graduate seminar at Stanford.
06:54Ah, yes, of course.
06:56You did a thesis on applied predictive models based on galactic motion.
07:00Yeah.
07:01Uh, that was me.
07:02Uh, we came to see your lecture yesterday,
07:04uh, but we were just a bit concerned when you had...
07:07Had my little brain cram.
07:08Yeah.
07:09Dr. Cenari said I was trying to tell a story
07:11of how I developed my quasar hypothesis while drinking tea.
07:14Apparently everybody knows that anecdote but me.
07:16I can't remember a thing about it.
07:18But now this.
07:20The solution to a problem proposed 25 years ago.
07:23A solution that we all believed would still be decades in the future.
07:27And yet.
07:32That poor woman, some sort of infernal malediction,
07:34has robbed her of that important memory from her past.
07:36She can't be that badly affected.
07:38She was able to solve the Bolkansky problem.
07:40Not badly affected.
07:41One of her most cherished memories, gone.
07:44Not to be rude or anything, but maybe you're overvaluing memory a little.
07:48I mean, imagine all that brain space could be used for,
07:50I don't know, achieving something.
07:51Do you know what your problem is?
07:53Hmm?
07:54The problem with this whole modern world
07:56is you don't give a tinker's damn what's going on in here.
07:59Or in here.
08:00No, you've given it away to your little machines.
08:03No need to think, to know, to remember anything.
08:07No, you're hollowed out.
08:08A list of achievements, and even that's in here.
08:11And soon, very soon, these little contraptions will be feeling for you.
08:15No, I for one would not trade a single memory of mine for gold nor glory.
08:19I sat down and I couldn't remember anything.
08:22I couldn't even remember going to class.
08:25What's your name again?
08:28My lady, we met last night.
08:42Did we?
08:43Yes, yes.
08:44You showed me to my seat.
08:46We had a moment.
08:48I'm sorry, but I honestly don't remember you.
08:52Forget me.
08:57Impossible!
08:59This can only be some sort of foul necromancy.
09:02This spell, this curse is spreading.
09:05And we have no time to lose.
09:12We tracked down the students we saw in guy's statements.
09:14Hmm.
09:15A few more confusion cases popped up in the campus health clinic.
09:17We also spoke to the usher.
09:19The ones who can remember have one thing in common with Dr. Kirch.
09:21Have you all been to the observatory lately?
09:23Bullseye.
09:24We've identified the locus of this vile, pestilential phenomenon.
09:27Now, we must root out the noisome, feculent, fetid, vile...
09:30You know what he said, Vile.
09:31...yucky perpetrators.
09:36Ow!
09:39He's on one.
09:44Some founder is obviously abusing magic.
09:46And just remember, our purpose is the identification and retrieval of any potential artifacts.
09:50Not beating up bad guys.
09:52It may not be our purpose, but it's the figgy pudding of it.
09:54My job is to keep you out of that kind of thing.
09:56I'm with Charlie.
09:57Let's get the length of my hand before we get confrontational.
09:59And by confrontational, you mean...
10:01Violent.
10:03I was not made for these times.
10:05Hey, Vic.
10:06Give us a sec.
10:07Um...
10:08I just wanted to apologize for earlier if I upset you.
10:13I was not upset.
10:14I was insensitive.
10:16Look, I can't imagine what it must be like to be in your shoes.
10:19I mean, you're here and memories are all that's left of your world, so...
10:23I really am sorry.
10:24My world still exists.
10:27In here.
10:29So, there's no need to apologize, Anya.
10:32Lysa.
10:34That's what I said.
10:35Um, the astronomy department office is chock-a-block with rare curios.
10:38Any one could be our artifact.
10:40You and Connor reconnoiter what's in there.
10:42See if any of the magical artifacts we're looking for are there.
10:45And Charlie and I will try to root out the potential abusers.
10:50Non-confrontationally.
10:52Of course.
11:10May I help you?
11:12Uh, we're just admiring the collection.
11:14Do you work here?
11:15I'm Dr. Stanaris' teaching assistant.
11:17As well as the astronomy department archivist.
11:20Archivist?
11:21Yeah.
11:22So, you're responsible for finding and bringing in these pieces?
11:28Who did you say you were again?
11:34Dr. Stanaris!
11:36Yes?
11:37It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance.
11:39I was at the presentation last evening.
11:41Ah.
11:42You're an astronomy, love.
11:43Or professional in the field.
11:44Well, let's just say I'm an accomplished amateur.
11:48Have you heard of the Imperial Astronomical Society?
11:50Yeah, from the early 19th century.
11:52Didn't they disband back in the early Victorian era?
11:56Yes.
11:57Well, we've relaunched it.
11:59Oh.
12:00Well, so you're a gentleman stargazer of the old school.
12:02Of the old school.
12:03Well, you appear to be of the old school yourself.
12:05This star cartography is from the 1500s.
12:09You have a fine eye.
12:11It's from my pet project about Shakespeare's understanding of the cosmos.
12:15Ah.
12:16It is not in the stars to hold our destiny.
12:18But in ourselves.
12:20Hmm.
12:21You're also a poet.
12:23We're poets and astronomers.
12:24We seek the same thing.
12:25A larger view of the universe.
12:27Well said.
12:28I must say, I find your Shakespeare project fascinating.
12:31Well, it grew out of my belief that the Big Bang not only created matter and antimatter,
12:35but is also the source behind great hearts.
12:37Hmm.
12:38Big Bang?
12:40You have a way with a phrase, Professor.
12:43Please, tell me more.
12:45Well.
12:46It's really amazing, don't you think?
12:48In my astrolabe and the Adelaide online community,
12:50we call them the smartphones of antiquity.
12:52Looking after all of these important objects must be a real responsibility.
13:06Is this where you keep the paperwork?
13:12Well, yeah.
13:22No, I already told you.
13:47I'm a friend of Dr. Kirch's.
13:49I'm just interested in the collection.
13:51Well, it just seems like you were looking for something.
13:53No?
13:54I am wondering why you're sweating so much.
13:56Sweating?
13:57Me?
13:58No.
13:59Hey.
14:00I just remembered.
14:01We have to go meet Uncle Vic.
14:03What?
14:04Now.
14:06Oh, yeah.
14:07Sorry.
14:08We gotta go.
14:09Bye.
14:10See you soon, maybe.
14:11Yeah, you run, run.
14:14These are the Culpepper papers.
14:16The originals?
14:17The Culpepper papers?
14:18Nicholas Culpepper was a 17th century artifact collector.
14:20As soon as I saw what they were, I thought they might tell us something.
14:22Of course.
14:23The crystal of Dr. John Dee.
14:25Culpepper was once its owner.
14:26What?
14:27Slow down.
14:28Yeah.
14:29Who is Dr. John Dee?
14:30He was the court magician to Queen Elizabeth I.
14:32A genius.
14:33A true Renaissance man.
14:34During the actual Renaissance.
14:35And Dee used the crystal to communicate to the angels and divine the future.
14:38A major magical artifact.
14:40I think it's in a London museum.
14:41So wait, what does this have to do with our case?
14:43Ah, the legend is that Dee saw something that made him lose his mind.
14:46He no longer knew who he was.
14:48Didn't recognize his family.
14:49Couldn't function.
14:50He lost his memory.
14:56Whoa.
14:57Why?
14:59It's not just the Culpepper papers.
15:01These are the writings of John Dee himself, dated 1588.
15:04Culpepper says that they are always to accompany the crystal.
15:06It's basically an instruction map.
15:08Right.
15:09So they're fragile.
15:10We need to go and take them somewhere and read them carefully.
15:12There's just one problem.
15:14It's written in Enochian.
15:16You're losing me again.
15:18It's a language D invented.
15:19Got it from the angels.
15:20Yeah.
15:21And it's not just basic Enochian.
15:22It's high Enochian.
15:23There are maybe three people on earth who know how to translate it.
15:25No.
15:29There are four.
15:32The crystal is rendered harmless at which hour it is contained in the necklace.
15:36But once loosed, it hath the power to grant a single willed glimpse here.
15:40The cost behests a single moment of the past.
15:4221st century version, please.
15:44The crystal is rendered harmless when it is contained in its necklace setting.
15:49But once it is taken out, it hath the power to grant a single desired glimpse into the future.
15:56The cost being a single memory.
15:58And then it refers to amplifying or expanding the power of the crystal.
16:01The crystal is behest amplified to the point where the past is cleared.
16:06Hence, the knowledge of the future is limitless.
16:09The past is cleared.
16:11Does it say how the crystal can be amplified?
16:14Hmm.
16:15It can emit spectral particulates.
16:18The rest of the instructions appear to be missing.
16:20I just checked with my old contacts in the illegal procurement world.
16:24And the word is that the de-crystal was stolen.
16:27Along with those papers from the London Science Museum a few weeks back.
16:30They've been keeping it under wraps because of all the superstition.
16:32Hmm.
16:33Let us roll.
16:36Right.
16:37No more namby-pamby.
16:38The papers are here.
16:39The crystal has got to be here.
16:40I'm going to confront these gentlemen and force them to acknowledge the court.
16:43Whoa, whoa, whoa.
16:44We don't know that they're both in on it.
16:45You said your man was acting suspicious.
16:46Oh, yeah, he was sweating.
16:47Not a scenarios.
16:48Well, it was as odd as a duck mole.
16:49At the very least, they know something and we are going to wring it out of them.
16:51We can't force them to do anything.
16:52All right, we're not the police.
16:53But I'm the librarian.
16:54And they are a police officer.
16:55I'm the librarian.
16:56And they are a police officer.
16:57I'm the librarian.
16:58And we have tried your ever-so-fashionable non-confrontation belly wash.
16:59But now we'll do things my way.
17:00Once I put the screws to them, these fellows will be discouraged from any further traffic
17:05of magical artifacts.
17:06Not to mention robbery.
17:07Can you say you put the screws to them?
17:08You don't really need screws, do you?
17:09I want information.
17:10Violence is a last resort.
17:11Oh, we have failed.
17:12We have failed.
17:13We have failed.
17:14We have failed.
17:15We have failed.
17:16We have failed.
17:17We have failed.
17:18We have failed.
17:19We have failed.
17:20We have failed.
17:21We have failed.
17:22We have failed.
17:23We have failed.
17:24We have failed.
17:25We have failed.
17:26Violence is the last resort.
17:27Oh, we have tried the first resort.
17:29What?
17:30First resort?
17:31Last resort?
17:32Second resort?
17:33We know it's them.
17:34We know they have the crystal somewhere.
17:35We still don't know where they're getting out of this.
17:41That is a nice car for teaching assistant.
17:44This vehicle.
17:45Expensive?
17:46Very.
17:47You two, find all the scenarios and bring him to the office.
17:50These gentlemen are about to receive a proper buffeting.
17:56Better than a good job.
17:57You are leaving the office.
17:58You are leaving the office.
17:59You won't leave the office.
18:00I'm loading the office.
18:01I'm only leaving the office.
18:02You are leaving.
18:03You are leaving me.
18:04You are leaving the office.
18:05We have been waiting for a while.
18:06Maybe wagering a whist.
18:07Or a hazard deck.
18:09Perhaps a trotters.
18:10Are you with the police?
18:11No.
18:12But you have something that we are going to need back.
18:13Are you with the police?
18:14No, but you do have something that we're going to need back.
18:17Hmm.
18:39We are going to recover that crystal.
18:42What crystal?
18:43I don't know anything about any crystal.
18:45Well, if you don't have a crystal, then why are you running away?
18:47I don't know.
18:51I demand you make this stop.
18:54I can't remember how to drive.
19:00No, we ought to make it stop.
19:03Okay, pull back with your hands and push down with your feet like a horse.
19:07It's not in here either.
19:17Must have gone home for the day.
19:24Call Connor.
19:31So it's the man who hates cell phones.
19:40Hello, Connor.
19:41Yes, it's Vikram.
19:43Yes, I need advice.
19:45How do you stop a motorized carriage?
19:47No, nothing that looks like a key.
20:00I need to do something.
20:02Do something.
20:04What is going on?
20:34Brilliant work, Charlie.
20:50What are you thinking?
20:55Doing something stupid like that.
20:57I don't know.
20:58You seem to forget how to pilot the carriage.
21:00He must be under the spell.
21:02What about you?
21:07Are you okay?
21:10Charlie?
21:15Who are you people?
21:24You are my guardian, sent by the library.
21:27How do you know about the library?
21:29Because I'm the librarian.
21:31Do you remember how you got the money?
21:34I've just had a clairvoyant moment.
21:38I saw a roulette wheel with two numbers.
21:42So I went to the casino and put all my money on those numbers.
21:46I'm not a guardian.
21:48I didn't make the cut.
21:50Initially, but then Jacob Stone contacted you.
21:55It was like I could see the future.
21:57It felt like cheating.
21:59I was afraid someone was going to come after me.
22:01So that is why you were acting so suspiciously?
22:03It seemed like you knew my secret.
22:04How's it going?
22:05She has a complete blank from right before Stone Cold up until about an hour ago.
22:20Hasn't met us.
22:21Isn't sure how she got here.
22:23That's two months.
22:24He only forgot how to drive.
22:25Well, she was obviously exposed after him.
22:27So it's getting stronger.
22:28What else did we learn?
22:29Philip says that Stenaris traveled to London on the weekend of the 18th.
22:32That's the weekend the crystal was stolen.
22:34Can't be a coincidence.
22:35So, Stenaris is the malefactor.
22:38But where is the crystal?
22:39He thinks he knows where it might be.
22:41The vault is in the building.
22:43Downstairs.
22:44Let's go.
22:46We're going to need you.
22:48So you know about the library.
22:53You could be an enemy.
22:54You could be using magic to try and co-opt me.
22:57You know, Eve Baird may have thought that I wasn't ready.
22:59And maybe I'm not.
23:01But I am still loyal to the library.
23:05Take him inside.
23:06See about this vault.
23:07Come on.
23:11The fact that the library even considered you as a possible guardian
23:14means you must have better instincts than that.
23:16I am not an enemy of the library.
23:19A powerful spell has taken a portion of your memory
23:21and that portion includes us.
23:23I cannot give you back your actual memories.
23:24But what I can do.
23:26I can tell you what you need to know.
23:29So you can be part of our team again.
23:31I'm not allowed in here without Dr. Stenaris.
23:36It can only be opened with his retinal scan.
23:40This is one I've never cried before.
23:42How do you know so much about breaking and entering?
23:44Well, there isn't an app on the internet for discovering magical secrets.
23:56Move.
24:02Which brings me up to the moment that you saved me from a runaway vehicle.
24:05That all happened?
24:06To me?
24:08You don't think that you are guardian material because
24:11you do not remember what you have done over the past five weeks.
24:15But I do.
24:17I'm the librarian.
24:19And you are my guardian.
24:22Even if on a trial basis.
24:26Got it, sir.
24:27Hey guys.
24:29Come on.
24:57Here's another one.
25:07From London.
25:12Seems to be from the court of Elizabeth.
25:15Do you think you held the necklace and crystal?
25:18Guys, look at this.
25:20The picture is changing to someone else.
25:22Does this mean what I think it means?
25:27What do the translation say again about the crystal being amplified?
25:30Ah, um, the crystal is behest amplified
25:34to the point that's where the past is cleared hence.
25:37And the knowledge of the future is limitless.
25:40The past is cleared hence.
25:41Not memories, the actual past.
25:43So Dr. Kirsch didn't just lose the memory of coming up with her hypothesis.
25:46It never happened.
25:47Someone else did it.
25:48Are you saying actual events have been wiped out?
25:50History's been changed?
25:51Why would he want to do this?
25:53Oh, he doesn't.
25:55He wants the other part.
25:56The limitless knowledge of the future.
25:59Oh, he doesn't care about consequences.
26:00He is what we call a remorseless monomaniac.
26:04Sociopath.
26:05How is he amplifying the crystal?
26:06The question is, if his goal is to selfishly gain knowledge,
26:09then why would he involve other people?
26:13Because he needs something from them in order to achieve his goal.
26:16They're memories.
26:18Magical causality.
26:19He must get his power to look into the future by consuming people's memories.
26:22Correction, by consuming the past.
26:23And the more people that look through it, the more powerful it becomes.
26:26When did Charlie look through the glass?
26:28Ah!
26:29When me and Cenarius were verbally jousting, she looked through the telescope.
26:34Of course.
26:36Where else would you put a piece of glass people would look through?
26:38It's just another lens.
26:39Thank you for saving me the trouble of explaining all that.
26:44No!
26:45Damn it!
26:46Get your nurse out of here!
26:47You bounder!
26:48Sorry to keep you here like this, but I have 20 undergraduates arriving for a stargazing session.
26:53And once they've all looked at the Andromeda galaxy, the crystals should be fully amplified.
26:59Stenaris, you have unleashed forces beyond your control!
27:02Do you know what it's like for a man of my intellect to cast my pearls before swiny undergraduates?
27:07While people like Wazlin Kirsch get famous on stories of cups of tea and picnics?
27:13Now this is the story.
27:15The greatest discovery of the history of science.
27:18And my name will go down with Copernicus, Galileo and Sagan.
27:23Sagan?
27:24Think about the consequences of erasing history!
27:27As a remorseless monomaniac, let me just tell you,
27:31I don't care.
27:37It's not going to work. The door in frame is case-hardened steel.
27:52But if the crystal is already overcharged, then imagine what would happen once he sucked the memory of 20 more people.
27:59Zombie apocalypse?
28:00It's actually worse than that.
28:02When you change the past, it takes time for those changes to catch up with you.
28:04The past changed when Dr. Kirsch lost her memories, but it took time for the causality changes to catch up with our timeline.
28:11Which is why the book and the painting are only changing now.
28:14Exactly. I don't understand.
28:16Imagine time like a lake.
28:18And we exist on its shore.
28:20And the erased memory is like a pebble, dropped in the center.
28:23It takes time for the ripples to reach us.
28:25So when Charlie's timeline catches up with us, she doesn't just forget.
28:29But she never actually met us.
28:30And if we never met her...
28:33Then no one saved you from the Dracovac.
28:35Which would mean that on our current timeline we would all be...
28:39Dead.
28:42Thank you for coming.
28:44Next week we get to view the Triffid Nebula.
28:47Thank you, Dr. Stenaris. That was incredible.
28:50Yes, but it can be overwhelming, so my advice is to go straight home.
28:53Is to go straight home.
29:23Wait.
29:24Panic is the enemy.
29:25Toujours equilibre.
29:26Toujours equilibre.
29:27Toujours equilibre.
29:28Toujours equilibre.
29:29French isn't helping.
29:30Pardon.
29:31Who installed this vault?
29:32A security company.
29:33What kind of company?
29:34They specialize in banks, museums?
29:35Museums, I think.
29:36Yeah.
29:37Museum and art gallery systems usually have a fire override sensor to allow firefighters to enter a burning vault without having to pass it.
29:40I don't know anything about that, sorry.
29:41It wouldn't be out in plain sight like a smoke-a-lot.
29:43Over here.
29:45Ah, we could use this lens and find a strong enough light source to find a strong enough light source that it would be able to move on.
29:50That's right.
29:51I'm so sorry.
29:53So, what you're doing?
29:54New York City.
29:56What's this?
29:57So what you're going to do is go back to the Lensel.
29:59Oh, you're going to do a lot of people that are not going to be a mess.
30:01Who installed this vault?
30:03A security company.
30:04What kind of company?
30:05What kind of company?
30:07They specialize in banks, museums?
30:08find a strong enough light source that perhaps the focus beam could generate enough heat and then
30:14you're not coming we could just use my lighter
30:25tiny portable tinderbox
30:32what
30:35what
30:35here it is
31:02Can I help you?
31:10Why am I here?
31:11You seem confused.
31:15What just happened?
31:22The D-papers mentioned the chrysilla emitting spectral particulates.
31:25They must be overflowing with them.
31:27I remember running up the stairs and that's it.
31:29But you know who I am.
31:30Yeah.
31:30Then he pulled you out just in time.
31:32When you were in it, you were rendered completely impotent.
31:34But why doesn't it affect Stonaris?
31:36I do not know.
31:37But we have to get that crystal away from him.
31:39There is only one choice.
31:42I must go in there and get it.
31:44What?
31:44Just like that?
31:45What makes you think you won't be rendered completely impotent?
31:48Me.
31:48I don't think you know what it's like, Vikram.
31:50I feel like I have a ten-second hole in my brain.
31:52And who knows what it'll be like if you stay in there.
31:54Are you of all people willing to risk your memories?
31:57My mental discipline is unlike any other.
31:59Not that you're ordinary and not to gloat or bluster.
32:02But I believe I am our best chance.
32:04I don't like it.
32:05And I'm responsible for you.
32:07No.
32:09I am responsible.
32:11I'm the librarian.
32:13And my memories mean no more than any of yours.
32:16You three, go onto the platform and see if you can lower the floor.
32:18Anything to get him away from that telescope.
32:20Okay.
32:33Stanares.
32:34Well, how are you able to?
32:52I have trained my brain to silo thought away from my active mind.
32:58I can lock away what I need and only give away useless memories to this pestiferous Hex.
33:06Paul.
33:22They're dead.
33:24They're a crystal.
33:26What's the most important thing in the world to you?
33:52Stay with me.
33:56The main controls are up there.
34:06Okay, well this looks like a pretty standard servo motor.
34:08Yeah, it shouldn't be too hard to hog, Wile.
34:10We should lower the floor to avert Stenaris from looking through the telescope.
34:13Guys?
34:20What's happening to me?
34:22She's disintegrating out of our timeline.
34:30You got no time for this now.
34:32I could tell that you were different.
34:48You seem to have an esoteric knowledge almost for another time.
34:50I heard you talking in the vault about translating High Inokin.
34:54Well, only a handful of people know High Inokin.
34:58Unfortunately, I'm one of them.
35:00So I didn't leave any of the important papers lying around in the office for you to read.
35:04They explain how to amplify the crystal and how the necklace could give its wearer immunity from the unfortunate side effects.
35:14You just gotta stay here, okay?
35:16You just gotta stay here, okay?
35:18Okay, just stay present.
35:20Okay, Charlie, stay present.
35:21Okay?
35:22You've gotta fight this.
35:23Fight it!
35:24What am I doing here?
35:25What am I doing here?
35:26What am I doing here?
35:27What am I...
35:28Oh!
35:29Oh!
35:30Oh!
35:31Oh!
35:32Oh!
35:33Oh!
35:34Oh!
35:35You gotta stay, okay?
35:36Oh!
35:37You gotta stay, you gotta promise me, okay?
35:38Just, just stay here.
35:39We need you here.
35:40Please!
35:41Oh!
35:42Oh!
35:43Oh!
35:44Oh!
35:45Oh!
35:46Oh!
35:47Oh!
35:48Oh!
35:49Oh!
35:50Oh!
35:51Oh!
35:52Oh!
35:53Oh!
35:54Oh!
35:55Oh!
35:56Oh!
35:57Oh!
35:58Oh!
35:59Oh!
36:00Oh!
36:01Oh!
36:02Oh!
36:03Oh!
36:04Oh!
36:05So what was it?
36:06Oh!
36:07Oh!
36:08it's very interesting you're in tremendous pain but you can't seem to remember why
36:15that is nothing compared to what i'm about to experience for millennia man has looked to the
36:22heavens to see the distant past and i will be the first man to peer into the heavens and to
36:27see the future i will know how the story of the universe ends and i will publish
36:33the colors even more beautiful
36:50what are you doing i don't know i can't remember
37:00get away from there you maniac you're ruining everything
37:05somebody help me
37:07catch
37:17now i remember
37:25what have you done i'm not sure
37:33come on
37:42come on
37:57come on
38:04come on
38:06come on
38:08come on
38:12come on
38:16come on
38:25come on
38:27i know it sounds crazy i don't think i was asleep but i must have been dreaming because
38:33all of a sudden it seemed as if i were disappearing and then it all came back to me the moment on
38:40observatory hill when i developed my hypothesis it's hard to explain and i feel as if you and
38:47your friends had something to do with you and your friends had something to do with it i'm so grateful that was one of my most important memories i never knew how much i valued my past until it was gone
38:59i see that you erased the equation you didn't think i write it down somewhere
39:06i had to get rid of it i don't know where it came from and there was something about it i just didn't trust
39:14probably for the best
39:16some mysteries need to be revealed in time
39:19and we can appreciate the implications
39:22and scientific advancement should come through application of scientific method
39:26and this answer came to me
39:28like magic
39:29well i'm glad to hear that she's all right
39:31oh we were able to check up on the students who'd been affected it was mind-blowing but they're no worse for wear
39:37most of them have forgotten their future visions
39:39though four of them have formed a jam band
39:42charlie how are you feeling
39:45uh all squared away sir
39:47you never told us your vision of the future
39:49or was that also forgotten when the effects were reversed
39:52yes
39:55wiped out
39:56completely
39:57still impressed with how you were able to stave off the effects from the memory bubble
40:05i couldn't have done it
40:06my mental discipline is highly attuned and perfectly calibrated
40:10that and i had no memories to lose for 178 years save a few weeks
40:15i thought that might give me some advantage
40:17and you saw khan struggling and you needed to help him
40:20perhaps
40:22well whatever it was you were willing to risk what matters most to save us
40:27as descartes said
40:29i think therefore i am
40:31but maybe
40:35i remember
40:37therefore i am
40:40maybe that's the truth of it
40:42anyway
40:46i feel safer knowing that this is all locked away and out of the hands of a pseudo-academic
40:51polymathic megalomaniac
40:54speaking of which
40:57what do you think will happen to dr stonaris
41:00the reverse amplified view of the universe
41:05provides us with the final answer
41:06copernicus and galileo
41:09they tell us nothing
41:10stephen hawking
41:12only i frederick stonaris
41:15have viewed the future
41:17and i'd still be viewing it now
41:19if it wasn't for the interference
41:21of a crypto-cult organisation
41:23called the library
41:25and its fanatical destructive operative
41:27who called it
41:28the librarian
41:42the library
41:47who called it
41:50the library
41:53who called it
41:55and she said
41:57the library
41:57and he said
41:59exactly
42:01what do you think will happen to this
42:03it's gonna be a new
42:04a new
42:05good
42:06but
