Find it.

Find the harmonies.

No, no, no, no, no.

Gregor has used his new sorcerer's brigade to open a tomb.

Oh, there's no need for that, Miss Pacquiao.

The six months end today.

You'll all be leaving us soon, and the library will be taking care of the annex

now.

Uh, what do you mean by that?

Well, as in 1847, this annex will be folded back into the Grand Library.

It will cease to exist.

What?

No, no.

Not our annex.

I would have thought you'd be thrilled.

You'll be able to sell the castle and use the proceeds to fund your various

academic endeavors.

Yeah, you're right.

It's great.

Where are you taking all that?

We're back in the barracks, man.

Some of this equipment's been rare.

This 16th century silver -owned coin.

Vikram gave me this.

Well, uh...

I got a teaching job.

Oh, that's... What? That's amazing.

Never thought I'd be back at a university again. You're vindicated.

wonderful. Now you can teach about magic again.

Uh, well, no. A condition of my employment is I'm not allowed to mention

or anything supernatural.

So, not exactly the redemption I was hoping for, but I'm teaching again, so

that's something.

Right? Yeah.

That's marvelous, Mr. Green.

this place.

And you guys.

Did you miss me?

Mr. Stone.

Good to have you back in our little corner of the world. Elaine.

Mr. Jenkins sends a fond regard.

Good to see you, sir.

It's good to be seen. You guys have done an amazing job.

Unfortunately, it does end here.

Why does it have to end here?

I don't make the rules.

No, the library does.

You see, the library decides who will be a librarian, decides who will be a

guardian, decides if the annex exists and if it doesn't. But you guys have

incredible. And on behalf of the library, I would like to send a very

thank you.

Thank you.

That's it.

That's all I got.

I ever do have.

Three plane tickets.

Dos, tres.

First class.

If we have to leave, can't we just use the magic door one last time to get

I'm afraid the door is only for those in the service of the library.

And we're not anymore.

Stop! Stop! Stop!

We must not. We cannot.

Breathe. Breathe.

Ah, Mr.

Rock. Stone.

Precisely. Just a matter of some unfinished business that needs sorting

What kind of business?

A threat. A danger of the utmost importance.

All right, well, whatever it is, I'll take it from here. All right.

Ever have one before?

Certainly not.

That's a map of... Cogasilvia. Cogasilvia what?

Cogasilvia. It's a small Eastern European country. We did a mission

God, the burning embers have landed on the capsule building.

A pendulum to overload like this means we're dealing with something well beyond

the scope of our previous endeavors.

No. Hey, no. Vikram.

Vikram! Hey, what were you going to tell us? I'm afraid, Mr. Stone, we must

travel to Cogasilvia toot -sweet. No, no more missions. Don't run away from me

again.

It's going to be a long day, huh?

Yeah, just go.

Apparently President Radosh is about to address the law.

Thank you.

This is a momentous day in the history of Kakosylvia. A day that will forever

change the course of history and the rebirth of our cherished lands.

However, this will be my last public address.

I am stepping down as the president of Kakosylvia.

But I'm handing over the reins to a man most capable of leading us into the

future. A man of strength, wisdom, and determination.

Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you the new leader of our fine country,

General Bogdan Gregor.

This is The Unfinished Business.

The Sword of Mars.

Are you kidding me? You let Gregor get his hands on the Sword of Mars? Last

we saw Gregor, he'd lost his people, or his magic. Yeah, he ran off with his

tail between his legs.

What kind of an artifact allowed him to take over a country so quickly?

It was rumored to be buried in the lost tomb of Attila the Hun.

Gregor found the tomb and the sword back in 1847.

He was in the act of retrieving the sword when I locked us both in the time

bubble. You prevented him from getting it? Back then, yes. Now that he has

escaped the time bubble, I fear he would go back to retrieve it. Wait, wait,

wait. You knew where the sword was? You didn't go get it? You've been here for

six months. I did not know the specific incantation. But then I found that the

frequency of this, when struck against the medina crystal, would emulate the

harmonies of the incantation. I was on my way to get the sword, but I was too

late. You didn't know the incantation.

You're the annex to the library, man. Look it up! Sorry, sorry, but what is

Sword of Mars?

The Sword of Mars is one of the most powerful, magical items ever.

Makes you unbeatable in battle.

It's on the library's ten most wanted list.

Attila nearly conquered the world with it. I can't believe you knew where the

sword was. You didn't get it.

Didn't you rescue Vikram from the time bubble?

Yes, I did.

So you were in the lost tomb?

Yep. So you could have retrieved it yourself?

No.

No, because, well, you can't... You're not thinking of what... I was busy

him! Ha!

Pointing fingers at one another is not going to help us.

The fact is, Gregor now has one of the most powerful objects in the world.

I will keep you safe in here while you keep me safe from my adversaries.

Organize a meeting for me to address the leaders of the world's nations.

Tell them to check their defenses, their weapon systems.

If they want answers, I will provide them.

And those who dare not offend will regret it.

I thought I had more time. I thought that Gregor did not have the sorcerer's

brigade to reopen the tomb.

But I was wrong. He has clearly transformed the band formerly known as

Hammer into the sorcerer's brigade.

Okay, so he has the sword, but you said the tomb was empty. Where is Attila's

remains? No bones, no body, completely empty.

Of course it was.

They had to bury the sword.

You see, when the keeper of the sword is defeated, they get assimilated, body

and soul, into the sword's blade. It increases the power. So we're not just

dealing with Gregor anymore. We are dealing with the spirit of Attila the

and whoever else has ever wielded the sword.

But why Kakasylvia?

You know, if Gregor has this much power, why go after a little -known country

with a tiny army? Are there other known magical artifacts there? Maybe resources

that he needs? The power of the sword would have directed him towards

that would allow him to accomplish his goals.

What that is in Cocosilvia, I do not know.

What?

Right now?

Yeah.

That was DOSA.

They're at the United Nations, and they're requesting me.

What's DOSA?

The Department of Statistical Anomalies. It's a super -secret government agency

that deals with magic. They confront supernatural threats and sometimes call

to store and protect what they find. Yes, but they usually don't.

Call us unless it's something they can't handle.

Um, um, are you going alone?

You guys have done a great job, okay? But when it comes to saving the world,

it's time for real librarians.

Bikram knows Gregor better than anyone.

Yeah, we've all just gone up against him. Come on.

Come on, Morrison, please.

All right, you two, you come with me. You guys...

Dig up whatever you can on Cackle, Sylvania, the sword, Attila, Gregor, the

Sorry, no unauthorized visitors.

I'm a librarian.

Of course, sir.

It's all Vikram trying to use that.

Doesn't always work for him.

Took me a while to master. It's a little harder than it looks. Stone.

Janice Copeland.

I've been expecting you. This is Vikram Chamberlain. This must be Charlie. I've

heard much about you.

Heard about me.

Not much gets by, Dosa.

What have they told you? Not much. Just that you were concerned and you needed

our help.

Defense systems all around the world have just suddenly gone down.

Computers, satellites, missile systems are failing everywhere.

In short, the nations of the world are vulnerable and defenseless.

We've all been hacked.

That's what they believe. But we have some intel that something strange,

possibly magic -related, was going on in Cacasilvia.

Delegates and ambassadors, you have all accepted my invitation today because you

are aware that your countries are now defenseless.

What you may not know, that the country of Cacasilvia, as of today, has long

-range nuclear missiles.

I'm currently targeting a major city in every one of your countries.

But war can be avoided.

You have 12 hours to draft letters of total and complete surrender to

me and pledge fealty.

Defy me and you will pay a bitter price.

We knew they were trying to develop a nuclear program, but we thought they

years away.

The sword must have sensed it. Now we know why Gregor chose Procosylvia.

You feel incapable and easy to take over.

He's done it.

His demented dreams of world domination have come true.

All right.

We got just under 11 hours to get the sword back from Gregor into the library

order to save the world. It's a cake.

I like your attitude.

You idiot!

What is this femininity?

On every table, I want black roses.

Black roses? Where will we fight? Black.

To show our power. And roses to show our love.

And make sure they have thorns.

Lots of thorns.

He's not wearing the sword.

It's bad? No. It means that when we find the sword, we have a chance to steal it

without being under his watchful eye.

That paladin's enormous could be anywhere.

What the hell is that?

Having studied the magic pendulum, I was able to scientifically recreate the

energy detection it uses on the death that I made. It's worked quite well in

past. Besides the magic.

Cassandra would love that.

You three, find out where he's hiding the sword. Charlie, you're with me.

going to keep an eye on Gregor.

Stairs.

Oh, no, no.

Ah!

Hello.

Quick question. Do either one of you have a headache?

Because you will now.

Do you always carry chloroform on you? Got to be prepared.

That's amazing.

Why is this still here?

Where's the new flag?

Now, let's sample the wine.

Okay, well, it's got to be around here somewhere.

Okay, come now. Chop, chop. Put these on the table. Thank you.

President Greher was like one black rose in there.

Now, I know a lot about breaking into things, but that predates me.

Tubman and Sons from the 1830s. The unusual key to unlock it. Yeah, Tubman

has got complex grooves and edges. Sure.

It's them!

They took our clothes!

Hey! Ah, now it's our time to meet.

Your generals report that the weapons are lied.

We fired the first round of missiles after tonight's ball.

Destroy a few cities.

But what if they surrender first?

It matters not. We must show our strength and our will.

Millions would die.

Yes.

A glorious death in service of our cause.

A splendid way to end our celebration.

We have to warn everyone.

Hey, why are you two?

You shouldn't be here.

I'm a librarian.

I don't care who you are. You are in a secure area and you are under arrest.

I'm a librarian.

I'm a librarian.

I'm a librarian.

Yes. I'm saying we need a door now.

There must be some magical artifacts we can use here that can get us past the

guards and into the safe.

I don't know. How are the swords unlike anything I've ever seen?

It's blocking Uyghur magic.

Is that why when you tried the I'm a librarian thing it didn't work?

Unless you didn't do it right. I did it right.

I learned how to do it. It blocked me.

Stone.

What? Calm down.

I'm on my way.

What is that?

Copeland. She needs me back at the U .N. alone.

You have to tell them.

They have to know that even if we surrender, he plans on killing millions

tonight. I know, Charlie.

You guys, keep working. Find a solution.

I think we've got something.

It's been bugging me, right? Ever since Stone told us that if the sword's owner

is defeated, they're assimilated into it. Because if you have a sword, how can

you possibly be defeated?

So Mr. Green asked me to help him find everything we have on the previous

of the blade.

It's the sword of Mars, right? So let's start with Mars and the story of him and

Venus.

Venus's husband, Vulcan, crafted a magical net and caught them in an

affair. The gods then ridiculed Mars for being defeated by love.

Jump forward to Attila the Hun, the last owner before Gregor.

The story goes Attila married a young woman named Ildiko on the eve of a

attack in 453 AD.

The wedding celebration involved Attila indulging heavily.

The next morning, Attila was found dead in the bridal chamber.

But wasn't the cause of death some kind of internal bleeding brought on by

excessive drinking?

According to the Roman chronicler... Marthalina. Marthalina, thank you.

king of the Huns and ravager of the provinces of Europe, was pierced by the

and blade of his wife shortly after their wedding.

So... Though both defeated by love?

Precisely. That is its blind spot.

The sword protects its owner from all forms of attack.

To kill his heel is love.

So we just have to find someone that Gregor loves?

Easy.

Oh.

Yes.

No, no, no, no, no. Hold on a second. That's it.

You will appear at the ball as Anya. You will convince him that you are she. The

sword will not recognize this as an attack, and we will be free to steal the

sword. This is crazy, Doc.

You want me to pretend to be someone, someone that I don't know anything

But someone I know everything about. Oh, I will train you how to walk like her,

talk like her, think like her.

Oh, when I am done training you, you will be Anya Besson.

Blimey.

I'm Anya Besson.

My God, woman.

Anya is not some sort of street urchin. No, she is an aristocrat. And the last

time, it is not beton, it is beton.

French root, French pronunciation.

Ow! Then hold still. Listen, Henry Higgins, you want to start raining

me and I'm going to forget the whole thing.

If I had any idea what you were talking about, I would reply with a witty

retort. Now, again.

Beton.

Better.

What? Lovely and pleasant weather we are having this season. A little overdoing

it, but much, much better.

Okay, so I think I got the hair right.

Okay.

It's not right.

Perfect.

You are her.

Okay, sir.

Yes.

Sorry.

It's just seeing her again.

Seeing you as her.

It has moved me.

Beyond measure.

Maybe this is a bad idea.

Nonsense. Keep in mind, Anya is elegant.

Refined.

but impulsive, whimsical, charming, and the kindest person to walk the Earth.

Great. No, great.

Easy peasy.

Copa. Thank you for coming.

You're going to have to act fast.

We went through our entire database.

Every magical artifact failed.

Nothing was able to overcome the power of the Sword of Mars.

I won't.

Maybe we got something back at the library that would help.

Nothing in your registry was able to get the world's defenses back on Lloyd.

Wait, wait, wait, wait. What did you mean when you said I had to act fast?

You have to shut down the library.

Disconnect it from this reality. Protect all of the magical artifacts from

whatever's about to happen.

They're going to be needed to help rebuild once the smoke or the fallout

No, there's got to be another way. Okay, we don't just give up. We're out of

time. Protect the library while you can.

I can't do this. I'm too nervous.

Nonsense.

And with these marvelous communication devices you created, I'll be in your ear

the entire time.

Anya? My dearest Bogdan, you look as though you've seen a ghost.

What deception is this? Deception?

No. I am as real as the pulse in your fingertips.

Dance with me.

Remember, Anya is an extremely graceful dancer.

Vikram, he summoned me using black necromancy.

But you see, I saw you weeks ago through his crying glass.

I was able to see everything. I don't know who you are, but you are not Anya

Besson.

All right, then.

Tell him this.

Once arriving to this future... When I arrived to this future, Vikram bewitched

me, altering my voice, my visage.

His sorcery kept me under his spell.

That is, until I discovered you were here.

You expect me to believe this fairy tale?

The spell broke when I knew you were nearby.

And I was able to escape.

And I was able to escape.

Now I can be with you.

To be with you? Bear your children.

Bear your children?

Bear my children?

Or adapt, maybe.

Appeal to his vanity.

I would swim across the furthest ocean to be with you, my love.

Because you know.

She's found it.

Connor, go.

You will always have the key to my heart.

Shall we dance?

We need to break into a secure room.

Irvins are your best friend.

Horrible metal sphincter.

Why is this happening?

The sword senses someone other than Gregor is trying to get it, protecting

itself. But I thought once Gregor was smitten by love, the sword's defenses

would be down.

The defenses are only down for the object of that love.

Which means Lysa's the only one who could get it?

Lysa, it is entirely up to you now.

If you'll excuse me.

Get this back in his pocket before he realizes it's missing.

I don't think he's buying it. You have to get him to open that safe.

He's insane.

If he finds out that I'm pretending, he will kill me.

I'm your guardian, too.

I won't let anything happen to you.

Riddell, my love, what is this? Your favorite drink, my love.

Please.

Favorite drink?

What's a favorite drink?

Come on, you've got to know what a favorite drink was. I cannot recall a

favorite drink. You can't get this wrong.

Please, drink.

Tell me what I have brought you.

Surely you know the name of your favorite drink.

Sugar, bitters, cognac, and absinthe. The Sazerac, you remembered.

Anya, it is you!

It's her!

How would you possibly know that? It's a family recipe.

Grandma used to make it at Christmas.

You are back.

I can't believe it.

And the world is finally ours.

You have to get him to open the safe.

I am so glad we are reunited.

It's just such a shame that you weren't able to retrieve the Sword of Mars all

those years ago, like you had hoped. And now we are stuck in this ghastly

future. No, this future is wonderful. You will see. So much more to conquer.

This modern world will be more fun to roll.

And you do believe you could conquer it?

Would you like to know a secret?

You know I adore secrets.

I have the Sword of Mars.

It is finally mine.

And now no one can stop me.

You're teasing me. You do not have the sword.

I do.

I don't believe you.

I must see it with my own eyes.

Then... see it yourself.

I don't trust modern security, so I had them bring this safe from a museum,

exactly like the one I had back in Belgrade.

Where is my key? I had it.

I thought I felt it while they were dancing.

The sword of Mars.

Unparalleled power.

Unsurpassed strength.

It's beautiful.

Beautiful.

It's magnificent.

The power of the greatest warriors of all time.

Contained within its steel.

May I hold it?

What?

The sword.

May I hold it?

You and the sword are one.

To hold the sword is to hold your soul, your heart.

You wouldn't deny me your heart now, would you?

Close your eyes.

Why?

The surprise.

You are incorrigible.

Get to the door.

Vikram, you used this woman to betray me.

You underestimate me.

Arrest them.

No, no, no.

We'll hand them for treason.

I never thought much of you, Gregor.

But I didn't think that you were a coward.

You and I are from another time.

A more noble time.

May we not finish this in the old way.

You want to battle me?

I have the sword of Marth, and you have... what's that? Walking stick?

That really is the most hideous laugh, Gregor.

Honestly, we really should work on that. Come, little boy.

Let me teach you how real men fight.

I tire of this. I

should

have ended you 200 years ago.

Oh, that doesn't seem fair.

Sorry, but who are you? Me?

Oh, no, I'm just a librarian.

Well, librarian, this is not your concern.

This battle is between Vikram and I.

I totally agree, but it should be a fair fight. Don't you think?

Cal?

Is that Excalibur?

But you, however, are not my equal.

You thought you could fool me with a fake, Anya. You're pathetic.

Why not?

I fooled you with a real Anya for years.

No, no!

She and I had a power greater than anything you have ever known.

Greater than any magic you stole.

Stronger than any army you amassed.

It's called love, Gregor.

True love.

It seems my life is now in your hands.

Do you intend to kill me, librarian?

Unfortunately for you, your fate was sealed the day you took the Sword of

Indeed.

Thanks to his God above.

Biggest time we put this in the library.

Where it belongs.

All for one and one for all.

You fight for gold? Nay, love.

You have to take him.

I was just getting the hang of it. Look, I promise, I'll return him to the

library with all the other artifacts.

No, no, no. He is not an artifact.

Excalibur's more than just a magic object.

He's a guardian.

Go on.

Thank you for letting us join one last adventure.

The pleasure's mine.

However, I have to tell you, at first I thought you guys were just going to be

another problem I had to deal with, huh? But you made me look good.

I couldn't have made a better choice.

So you're saying that if it was up to you, then we wouldn't have to leave?

That we could remain a team?

That's not up to me.

You know.

It's up to the library.

You might want to take another look at those plane tickets that I gave you

You have been selected for a prestigious position from Metropolitan Public

Library.

Does this mean... The library has made a decision.

You've shown the ability to protect the library's secrets.

Your passion for the library's mission. It has been recognized.

This means I don't have to take that awful teaching job.

You... Well, you've learned not only to appreciate the past...

The library has recognized your willingness to exchange fortune, riches,

more noble, selfless cause.

And you did the one thing that only a true librarian can do.

You saved the world.

Wait. This does mean I'm a guardian, right?

My dear, you thought you'd been rejected by the library when nothing could be

further from the truth.

Charlie,

you've always been a guardian.

The library was just trying to find the right place for you. And that place,

it's here.

We offer you a life of mystery and misery.

A life of loneliness and adventure.

But most importantly, a chance to make a difference.

A chance to save the world every day of the week and twice before Friday.

Are you in?

Yes.

What would you tell them?

What would you tell them?

Does this mean that I won't be reassigned to the main library as a

relic?

Oh, I think the world could use another exceptional librarian.

Just promise me you won't put any more artifacts in the annex.

Oh, I promise.

But... This goes back, damn it, as soon as I've done one last thing.

Ikram, is that you?

Is this a dream, a reverie of the hot?

It's not a dream, my love.

I believed you dead.

Are you speaking to me from the beyond?

I come to you from beyond.

Beyond time.

But no, I am not dead.

Then come to me.

Step through this haze. Return to me.

I cannot.

You have always been.

My greatest magic.

And I am sorry for ever having left you alone.

Oh, my darling.

I am not alone.

You see?

And who is this?

Oh, this is your...

Our great, great, great, great granddaughter, Lysa.

Well, I can see that you are not alone either.

Goodbye, my love.

Goodbye, my heart.

So, are we ready for a lifetime of mystery and misery? Of loneliness and

adventure, but most of all, a chance to make a difference.

Ooh, Venice.

I hear it's pretty magic this time of year.

This is not the end of the story.

Does a story ever truly end?

Old characters leave the stage.

New characters step into the light.

Sometime. Old characters return.

You may not recognize it at first, but you know my name.

I am Merlin.
