01x01 - And the Deadly Drekavac

[bunniefuu]

[shouting]

Vikram! Come!

[dramatic music]

General Gregor, is it true?
They’ve found it?

The lost tomb of Attila the Hun?

Yes.

[chanting a spell]

[dramatic music]

[Gregor] Vikram, follow me!

As my most loyal advisor,
it’s fitting you are by my side.

Within that stone,
sealed with magic--

The Sword of Mars.

Powered by the Roman God of w*r.

Yes, my friend.

With it, I will conquer
all of Europe,

and make them serve

under the banner
of Gregor’s Hammer.

Yes. Yes.

Yes!

No.

[dramatic music]

You are Librarian.

No, Gregor.

I’m the Librarian.

[yells]

Oh dear.

[dramatic music]

My oath
to the Library is protect

powerful, magical objects
like that blade

from getting in the hands
of evil men.

So why stop me?

Oh, sir, respectfully,
you are completely evil.

[laughs] Me? Evil?

Nonsense.

I simply want to bring peace

through an autocracy of fear
and brutal intimidation.

You’re still not hearing
how evil that sounds.

[dramatic music]

Vikram?
What sorcery is this?

The Scarab of Horus.

Another little artifact
from the Library’s collection.

We are frozen in time.
But while you are trapped,

my loyal assistant
shall take my hand

and pull me free.

And we’ll reclaim the sword
and escape your grasp.

[dramatic sting]
[assistant grunts]

- Any moment now.
- Vikram...

Pull me free.

...I swear,
I will find your Library.

- Pull me free.
- I will take its treasures.

And rule not just Europe,

I will rule the world!

Pull! Me! Free!

Settle down.
It’ll be all right.

Let me introduce myself.

I’m Jacob Stone.

Your accent. American.

- I’ll speak more slowly.
- Thank you?

I understand your confusion.

Well, you might be
more confused right now.

Let me explain.

- I’m the Librarian.
- I’m the Librarian.

[suspenseful music]

[lively chatter]

[bicycle bell pings]
Whoa!

Hey.

[dramatic music]

Welcome to the future,
Vikram Chamberlain.

[siren wailing]

It’s tough to explain.

So, modern Librarians...

Librarians?
More than one?

Well, one of them, Cassie,

she calculated
that I can rescue you

from the time bubble
this exact day.

This exact time.

- So I did.
- Mr. Stone.

Tell me no more
of this wondrous future.

I’m sure you have amazing tales
about how in this golden age

you have ended w*r,
defeated famine,

and all men finally live
in harmony.

That’s right.
You didn’t see the 20th century.

Well, this is gonna be fun.

Yes, but I must have
no foreknowledge of the future

when I return to my own time.

- Vikram--
- It is Mr. Chamberlain.

Let us not forgo civility.

You can’t go back.

But I have to go back.
I don’t belong here.

Someone is waiting for me.

Listen, time travel

is way too dangerous

on this timeline, okay?

You have no idea how many times
we stopped the apocalypse

by the skin of our teeth.
You go back,

you change anything,
anything ...

[thunder crashes]

...that’s the end of the world.

But there are powerful
magical devices

in the Library
that can help me.

I’m sorry, man.
I’m truly sorry.

We have rules now.
You know what I mean?

I know that magic ran wild
back in your day and age,

but, you know,
we pretty much keep it

on lockdown all the time.
It’s a delicate balance of...

You’re not behind me anymore,
are you?

[dramatic music]

[keypad tone]

Jenkins. Yes, I lost him!

Do you have any idea
where his Library Annex was

back in the day?

[dramatic music]

Come to the concert tonight.

But I don’t want a castle.

Yet you have inherited one.

All this is yours.
Congratulations.

Now sign here, here,
and initial here.

Lysa with a "Y". Interesting.

I can’t deal
with this right now.

I am incredibly busy
with my work.

Can’t I just donate it
back to the city or something?

Dr. Pascal,
I work in the gift shop.

I was told to come
and help you with the paperwork

because I speak English.

- Initial both those, please.
- I can’t stay here.

I have an IPO based on my Ph.D.

That was a lot of letters
in a row.

IPO, initial public offering.

I’m fundraising
a company to develop

multidimensional
predictive algorithms

- with quantum computing.
- Incredible.

The more you speak,
the less I understand.

Now, let’s review the records.
They’re in the basement.

[whimsical music]

That’s right, Spectral Snoops!

This is Connor Green.

And today we prove

one of occult history’s
greatest conspiracies--

the legendary Library
and its collection

of magical artifacts is real.

Just yesterday,
you saw me rescue documents

from the National Archives
in London.

This map from the 1800s
strongly suggests

an entrance to the Library,
what was called an Annex,

was in this very castle.

And we’re gonna find it.

[dramatic music]

Gone.

My access to the Library
is gone.

There has to be a way

to bring it back
into this world.

Yes.

I can use the magic
of the Well.

[breathing heavily]

I shall return to you,
my love.

[dramatic music]

[Lysa] No, no,
I’ll make the presentation.

It’s just the craziest thing.

I inherited a castle.

Yeah, in Serbia.

Can’t seem to find
the funding for our company,

but I own a castle.

- Wait, can I sell this castle?
- This is your castle.

You may do with it
as you wish.

I may have just
solved our problems.

[static]

- Hello?
- [line disconnects]

I lost my signal.

Well, you are following
a complete stranger

into total darkness,
separated from the world above

by tons of ancient stone.

That will happen.

Amazing. Amazing blend
of polite and menacing.

- [static]
- Come on. Come on.

[dramatic music]

So can I just sell the castle
back to the government?

Or is there...

What the...

Is this a joke?

Hello? Hello?

Ah-ha!

Okay. No.

There’s supposed
to be a magic library here.

Hey, excuse me.

- Whoa, who is she?
- Who are you?

Who are you?

[suspenseful music]

[grunts]

[laughing]

[dramatic music]

[dramatic music]

[laughs]

Anya. You’re in the future.

How?

- Who are you?
- Who are you?

I am Vikram Chamberlain,

and I’m the Librarian.

[dramatic music]

And this is the Library.

[dramatic music]

No, no. You’re like Anya,
but you’re not her.

Your eye
