All language subtitles for The Librarians The Next Chapter s02e02 And the Tethered Wish

All these gifts you have given me.

New clothes.

A new home.

With these, I can land on my feet again.

So, for my last wish, all-powerful
genie, I'll wish for your freedom.

You mean this?

It's the least I could do for all you've
done for me.

I'll wish you free.

Thank you.

Thank you, Gary. Thank you so much.

I hope you like it in here.

What's this?

What's happening to me?

I tried to make it very comfy in there.

Enjoy!

Good morning.

Okay, now that we're all appropriately
caffeinated, we have things to discuss.

Yes, we do.

Mm-hmm.

Which is?

Uh, well, Charlie and I think it'd be a
good idea to go over some of our recent

adventures and take stock.

Well, I thought we'd been performing
admirably together.

Oh, we have.

But, um, Charlie and Liza are right. You
know, sometimes it's worthwhile just to

check in before tensions get filled up.
And spill out at an opportune time. Ah.

Like our little angry demonic friend at
the school.

Well, yes, I can see the advantages of
such an endeavor.

And very intelligent to hold this
meeting in a neutral space, Charlie.

It'll help to keep more... extreme
reactions in the chat. I am sitting

right here. A sound managerial strategy,
one I have observed many times. But

you've never worked with a group before.
No, but now that you are on my team, I

have taken to watching management videos
on the YouTube.

On your team?

I am the senior librarian, therefore the
head of his team. Oh.

Okay, Mr. Senior. You are not in charge.
You wouldn't have survived the first

week if it weren't for me.

Back for more?

Already? Of course.

What chocolate is the best?

And yours is the best in the city.

Oh, thank you.

I'll send it to you.

Thank you.

No, I'll be there.

I just wish I could find my key.

Amen.

I did your keys?

Yeah.

I have held the role longest than anyone
here.

Okay, Vic, we love you, but you were in
a time bubble for 175 of those years. I

don't think they count. Even discounting
those years, I had a decade to learn the

ropes. And yes, there are ropes to
learn. And you think you don't have

ropes? You still barely know how to use
your phone. Yeah, and I keep trying to

teach you email, but... That is
irrelevant.

I have grasped the responsibility of our
station. Hold on, everyone.

Responsibility?

Look, I'm sorry. I wish you'd say that
to my mother.

Uh, it's your mother.

Hello?

Vikram, I'm sorry, but responsibility
isn't often something we associate with

you. Yeah, uh, no. It's more agent of
chaos.

Remember when you got us stuck in
medieval times?

You got shot by Cupid's arrow.

You trusted Merlin, and now Mrs. A is
off somewhere trying to hunt him down.

We all trusted him, and chaos is
something that happens in this job.

You are all wonderful, lovely people,
but you are not yet fully aware of the

myriad of difficulties a librarian must
face. If I am to be bound to anyone, I

sometimes wish it was to a librarian of
more experience.

Charlie?

Vikram?

What the hell am I doing in Belgrade?

It could be a matter transference. More
likely an effect of the object. What

other effect were you after?

It was the Amazonian Shipibo Isle. I
don't think it has teleportation

abilities. Could be multispatial.

Where are Maxnotes and Unrelativity?

Wasn't there, like, a teleporting pope
in the 12th century?

Ready to go.

All right. You'll be back in the Amazon
in mere seconds.

Sorry for the quick trip, but if I don't
get back, Jones is going to be eaten by

a demon anaconda and Cassidy's going to
end up being the Amazon queen forever.

We should work on discovering the reason
for your sudden appearance.

Oh, no.

Are you ready?

I can't get through.

Is there a force field? I just... No, I
can't.

Where is it in this spot? The manual. To
the door.

Must be a whole section devoted to
impromptu barriers.

Let's see.

Are you okay?

I just... What on earth?

I could play together.

It will work this time.

It's not gonna work. It will work this
time.

In three, two, one, go!

Come on!

Okay, we took care of everything.

We got the Shipibo idol, and Cassandra
Killian is no longer Amazon royalty.

She kind of seemed disappointed, though.
Well, she does own several TRs. How are

things going here?

Well, we're testing certain theories,
making motivations.

You two are still stuck together?

Yes.

I bought a snake.

Ezekiel Jones is the man.

If I watch, I'll be Ezekiel Jones.

Touche. Still stuck together?

It seems so.

I'm going to put this in the library.

Don't go anywhere.

That's not going to be a problem.

Guys, did you know that this door is an
Einstein-Rosen bridge?

Mr. Jenkins told me.

It's a parallel subspace dimensional
portal that connects via symbolic

entryways.

Are you two still stuck together? Still
stuck together.

Still stuck together, yeah. Okay, well,
we did confirm that the Shipibo idol

does not have any teleportation or magic
handcuffing capabilities.

Ah!

Which means? Which means you guys did
this.

Uh, but we didn't do anything.

The pendulum hadn't gone off. We went
chasing an artifact.

All right.

What were you doing at that coffee shop?

Ah, we were engaged in a team-building
exercise, a ritualistic airing of

frustrations in the hopes of staving off
any future issues.

They beat you up a little bit. Yes,
indeed. Most unfair.

It's not fair. You were saying that you
knew more than us. Yeah, and we're

generally better than us. That's not
what I meant at all. Guys, adjusting to

a team, it takes a minute.

All right, you've got to figure out how
to help everybody grow while playing to

their strengths.

Precisely what I was trying to say. I
knew you'd understand.

What do you mean you knew I would
understand?

When we were expressing our
frustration... Mercilessly flogging.

Vikram said it would be nice if there
was a more experienced librarian around.

Bound.

Huh? Bound.

He said he wished he were bound to a
more experienced librarian.

He said wished?

Yes, I might have used that term.

You wish!

You wish! It's not moving!

My God, it's wish magic.

Okay, wish magic, that's fine.

No, it's not.

There are dozens of different types of
wish magic. Wishing well, wish upon a

star. And humans are hardwired to want
shortcuts to what they desire.

Okay, so there will be a wishing object
in the vicinity of the coffee shop.

Which is where we shall go!

Connor! Like, you find out what wish
magic we're dealing with, hmm? No.

Come along, Mr. Stone. Wait, can we talk
about this we're doing for Charlie?

No, we're going to keep a low profile.

Awesome.

Could you try to keep up? Can you try to
remember that we're tethered together?

My apologies.

But it is imperative we find the source
of our situation with the utmost haste.

No, you're not wrong.

Wish magic in the wild is like chaos
waiting to happen. I remember this one

time. Ah, here we are.

Good afternoon, my lady.

What can I get you?

Oh, just to have a few words with your
lovely self. Did you happen to notice me

when I was here earlier?

Um, no, I didn't.

Oh. I was with some friends.

I tend to stand out.

Listen, if you're not going to order
something, I... Hi.

Howdy. How you doing?

What my friend is trying to say is that
he forgot something when he was in here

earlier. He's a little absent-minded.

You're American.

I am. Yeah. They like you with a child.
He's forgetful. Otherwise, I'm sure he

would have remembered meeting you.

Is there any way we could see what was
going on in here in this very

beautiful... coffee shop when he was
here before.

Did anyone lose an eyelash at the coffee
shop?

Not to my knowledge.

Can you rule that out, then?

Bikram is so annoying.

This is a very complex situation, and
he's currently affected by wish magic.

Well, at least he's with Stone.

Okay. I have used quantum computing to
narrow down the field of wish magic we

might be dealing with here.

There are no meteorological events, so
that rules out falling stars.

Vikram didn't write the lamp, so no gin.

And laws of fairy magic are a business
team, so I don't think that's what this

is. Guys, check this out.

Did you find something in the books?

No, in the world.

Look, my mom posted about how her kid
was super sad their guinea pig had died.

Kid wished it was alive, and when he got
back, the guinea pig was back in its

cage chewing lettuce.

The guinea pig was no worse for wear
after the two days spent buried in the

backyard. No, no, no, no, no. Yeah, they
live three blocks from the coffee shop,

so I did a search of the area for more
reports of wish phenomena.

Check this out.

We finally made it to Belgrade!

I wish it was a little less crowded,
though.

What happened?

Where did everyone go?

Huh? Whoa, whoa, whoa. Go back.

Belgrade!

I wish it was a little less crowded.

There. That orange coat.

When we were at the coffee shop, there
was someone in an orange coat like that.

Are you sure? I did a situational
awareness course with the FBI, so, yeah,

I'm sure.

An orange coat, you say?

Well, I should ask.

Try to get a word in edgewise.

It's perfect.

This is perfect. Thank you so much. This
hot chocolate is perfect.

Is this your recipe, darling? Excuse me.
Is there perhaps someone visible in that

footage wearing an orange coat?

That guy right there.

Oh, yeah, him.

Yeah, last few days he's come in every
couple hours.

She's addicted to her hot chocolate.

Well, he's got a good taste.

Charlie,

you were right. There was someone in an
orange coat.

I think you have to burn this.

Big group.

I'll kill you.

Miss.

Charlie, it's a genie.

But not just that.

It's a free genie.

Vikram!

Vikram!

Now that we've covered the difference
between gins and genies, let's turn our

attention to our genie. And why free
genies are a bad

thing. Why are we subjected to this?

I think he misses teaching sometimes.

Now, historically, the library doesn't
have a lot of experience dealing with

genies. Who can tell me why?

Because a genie's magic is a closed
loop. The person who rubs the bottle

gets three wishes. The wishes are
granted, typically with a trick or

lesson to be learned, and then it's back
in the bottle.

Correct, Miss Pascal.

However, a freed genie has no limits.

They can grant wishes to anyone at any
time.

Even wishes people make when they don't
realize they're making them, huh? Yeah.

So even if the genie thinks he's doing
something nice, there are... Unintended

consequences.

Yeah. Okay, so say you're on a flight
and you wish it would land sooner and

suddenly you're falling from the sky.

Or as we saw, someone wishes for a
little less crowded downtown and

suddenly we have dozens of missing
persons.

Or...

Some poor kid wishes his guinea pig
didn't die, and suddenly...

Zombie guinea pig. No.

Zombie guinea pig.

Oh, filthy little guy.

It looks like a normal guinea pig.

Mom couldn't wait to get him out of the
house.

He was freaking her out.

I'm gonna need an umbrella.

So much raw power in the world. Having
Mr. Stone here is the least of our

problems. It's the most of mine.

Well, luckily, genie magic is restricted
to only granting wishes.

They can't just go do magic on their
own. But Vikram said he turned his genie

bottle into a water bottle.

That I couldn't find an answer for.

It's the bottle's magic, not the genie.
Okay? For protection, the bottle can

camouflage itself to hide in plain
sight. The bottle is the key to stopping

the genie. We get the genie back in the
bottle, his magic becomes a closed loop

again. First things first, we gotta find
him.

I might be able to help with that. You
see, the barista gave me... I was there,

too. ...the security footage.

She said the genie comes in multiple
times a day for our chocolate.

He's never had chocolate before. No
wonder he's so obsessed.

So it's a stakeout.

Let's go. Okay, I'm going to stay here
and go over the security footage.

Mr. Stone and I shall take point.
Charlie, you and Connor... Connor and I

will take point.

You two being tied together makes
protecting you infinitely more

complicated.

Fine. We shall watch from a bush.

Oh, with the cranberry move.

Stop looking around like a freshman
trying to find his classroom.

It's my first day, Cal.

I just wish we had... Let's not use the
W.

Wait, what are you doing? It's too
dangerous with all these people around.

Charlie said wait. We could take him
right now.

What, do you want to throw a burlap sack
over his head and wrestle him out of

here? Yes.

Now, do you have a sack handy?

Here I am again. I ordered ahead.

Oh, let me just find my wallet.

Yeah, I know, I know.

Yeah. It's ready.

Wow. Delicious.

Thank you. Thank you.

Okay, the bottle's in his bag.

Worth every dino.

And he's got a gooter.

Let's go.

You two stay here.

You're a little tied up right now.
Certainly not.

Copy that, Charlie.

Keep trying.

You ain't going anywhere if I'm not
moving.

Why must you be so infuriating?

You know, when I first arrived, I was
inclined to take your side. Everybody

makes mistakes, but you keep making
them. It's like you're doing it on

purpose.

Hello, librarians.

Did you wander down this smelly alley,
too?

You know who we are?

Of course.

I'm a genie, silly.

You're a free genie, granting every wish
you hear.

Yes.

It's delightful, isn't it? You have to
stop.

Why? We get that you're trying to help
people, but it's causing major problems.

Oh, I know. You know?

Yes. The problems are the point, of
course.

I was enslaved for a millennia.

A millennia.

Why? Because humanity is greedy.

That's why.

I wish for more money, more love, better
looks.

You two are fine on that score, by the
way, but most people are just not

satisfied. And now that I'm free, I'll
teach them all to be satisfied.

I'll grant every wish they make, and
they will realize that their greed and

desires cause nothing but chaos.

They'll destroy the world with their
wants, and no one will ever make a

wish again.

This is where you try and stop me.

I'm just disappointed.

Oh. I was giving you the benefit of the
doubt.

I wasn't.

But I also know you can't do anything to
us without a wish, so I like my odds.

Well, allow me to change those.

Oh, boys!

Here they come.

Librarians, let me introduce you to
Jackson, Justin, Brandon, and... I

want to say Derek. Whatever.

Believe it or not, They are 12-year-old
boys who wish to be as big and strong as

their favorite MMA fighters.

And now they are.

And they'll do anything for me.

Boys, take care of them, would you?

I would say it's been fun, but honestly,
this is the fun part.

That's it. Go for it. Your favorite
game.

Okay, not the face, dude.

Not the face.

Give it to me.

Can't do that.

Wish you could stop me.

Really?

I'll just see how to cover it.

Charlie, are you all right?

I'm fine.

I hope you've learned that fighting is
very, very bad.

Calling all your mothers.

The genie got away.

He's saying we're back to square one.

What? Oh, well, not exactly.

Definitely the genies?

Mm-hmm. Quick switcheroo with a similar
bottle?

So, you had to improvise when things
weren't going your way.

Oh, that was an improv me and Charlie
planted in advance.

Well, planning beats chaos every time.

Okay, so I was going through the fridge
from the coffee shop, and then, see

here, while he was waiting for his
order, our genie was on his phone.

But he wasn't playing Candy Crush.

So I did some light hacking of the
coffee shop's Wi-Fi, and there were four

patrons using it during that time stamp.
Three were on their socials, and one was

on a travel agency website.

Uh-huh.

Looks like our genie's about to skip
town.

Why would he skip?

Probably the same reason you do.

If I can get into the agent's pictures,
we can find out where the genius books

hit the flight.

Hi. Hi.

We were hoping you could tell us
something. Don't worry, Boris.

They're here for me.

Hello, librarian.

Go and try rubbing it.

The thought hadn't even crossed my mind.

But it has now, hasn't it?

I'm perplexed. This morning at the
coffeehouse, everyone had feelings to

air, but not me. No. No complaints about
anyone.

Of course you didn't.

You don't see us as your equals. You see
us as pupils.

Still learning.

You are still learning.

So are you.

Learning how to do this together.

There's nothing in here.

No protocol on how to reunite a genie
with its bottles. As a matter of fact,

in this journal, it says it's not even
the genie's lamp.

So, we're on our own. Time to see if
this infernal contraption can provide

any illumination. Can you not do that?
No, wait. I was just trying to... Stop

that, please!

What was that?

Uh, that came from the bottle.

Hello?

Can you help me?

How did you get in there?

I made a wish with a genie.

To set him free. And then I fall myself
in here.

It's nice.

They have all the sports channels.

But I like to get out.

Of course.

It's a sub-dimensional space.

No one's occupying it. Then it would
just fold in on itself.

Like the library.

Somebody's always got to be tied to the
library. First there was Judson, now

Flynn. It's a whole ceremony. It's a
thing.

So this gentleman wished the genie to be
free and then got sucked in.

Because?

For a genie to walk free, somebody's got
to be in there.

So how do we get him out?

Please!

Okay, but how did you know we would come
here?

Well, you are librarians, after all.

Well, try this one on for size.

I wish you couldn't leave this room.

Oh.

Oh, no. I'm stuck. I can't leave now.

I'm messing with you guys. I'm a free
genie.

I'm a free genie. I can choose which
wishes I grant.

And where I'm going, there are so many
more interesting wishes to be made.

Okay, then.

We'll just catch up with you at the next
location.

Come on, Connor.

Hang on, hang on.

You don't know where I'm going yet.

Oh, well, you've been kind of obvious.

I have not. Well, this travel agency
specializes in...

Overseas travel with special packages to
American cities.

And if you want people making wishes,
the best spot is Las Vegas.

Vegas. What?

No.

Vegas wishes are all the same. New York
wishes have as much variety as they have

pizza.

Ooh, can't wait to taste New York pizza.

You're right. New York is better.

Aren't you clever librarians?

I'd love to stay chatting, chatting,
chatting, chatting, but I have a plane

to catch.

Oh, I wonder what people will wish for
in an airport.

We may not be able to use a wish to trap
you in this room, but you don't have a

crew of preteens here, so you're not
going anywhere.

Oh, yes, you have me at a disadvantage
with you between me and the exit.

Boris?

Yep? Don't you wish money fell from the
skies?

Sure I do.

Say it.

I wish money fell from the sky.

You

sure

this is going to work?

Theoretically, yeah.

It's an Einstein-Rosen bridge. It can
connect two points anywhere, so it

should be able to connect to any door,
even one to a sub-dimensional space.

We just have to route it to a wider
range of possibilities.

We get this door open and we come out.

Will you stop doing that, man? Perhaps
you shouldn't stand still.

You know what your problem is?

Everyone's been telling me my problems
all day.

I didn't.

I assume it has to do with me knowing
more than everybody else and acting on

it. I don't know more than anybody else.

Not facts, not history, not science. All
you know is the job.

And the job wouldn't change on you, pal.
Hey, guys.

Sorry. We have to test the connection
before we go through. Just to pull it

out. Yes, Slicer.

I'll do it. No, you won't.

After all, sacrifice is the librarian's
gambit.

You ain't going anywhere. Not until I'm
done talking.

Oh.

Wait, that's right. That's what you do.

You run. You want me to slow down?

In this insane world that moves so fast,
I get the job done. Yes, I move quickly.

I trust my instincts.

But not your team.

You know what I think?

I think you asked for a more experienced
librarian to be here because you wanted

someone that would understand that this
gig is hard, this gig is crazy, and

you're going to be smarter than the
magic.

But you don't want to slow down and
listen to anyone, especially not me.

Because then you'd have to look someone
right in the eye and realize you're not

the only one who could do this job.

You know what, Mr. Stone?

You're right.

You're right.

My team is just as capable as me. That's
all I'm saying.

As are you.

Vikram! Right.

Where were we?

You okay?

Aces!

Imprison wishmakers first.

Okay.

Thank

you

so much. Where am I?

Oh, uh, good question.

Do you know anything about hypnosis?

No. Great.

Funny story, you're actually in a
hypnotic state and none of this is real.

Mr. Stone, one hand over the other.

Yes!

the matter of upper body strength.

That has nothing to do with my upper
body strength.

That damn thing won't let me through.

Charlie.

Vikram, we ran into the genie, but we
lost him.

But we know where he's going.

Flight to New York. Takes up in one
hour. If he gets on that plane, there's

no telling what he'll do.

Sounds like we need a plan.

Right, he'll get on this way.

You sure this is going to work? Of
course it will. All we have to do is

trick the genie into coming after this
bottle, and Lysa will handle the rest.

You all right in there, Mr. Stone?

This better work, Bikram!

Lysa, are you ready?

Uh, yeah. This isn't really the kind of
science I do.

I make apps and logarithms.

This is more string theory.

Connected the door to a sub-dimensional
space already, Lysa. This is basically

the same thing. I would laugh
hysterically right now if I wasn't

panicking. Lysa, did you or did you not
say that at an Einstein-Rosen bridge,

the magic door can connect two points
anywhere?

Yeah, but... Then all we have to do is
connect two points. The plan is simple.

We use the door's bridge capabilities to
connect a door here at the airport to

the bottle, and then push our genie
inside it.

Solid. Solid plan.

Just keep tracking my phone, okay?

Okay.

Hey!

You're not getting on that plane.

Are we really doing this?

It's getting sad.

Just accept you lost this one.

I'll see you when humanity is burning
due to its greed and hubris.

Have a nice day.

We have something you don't.

Reveal yourself.

So what?

I don't need the muscle.

We can do the easy way or the hard way.

The easy way is surrender.

Come with us now and stop your plan to
cause chaos worldwide.

The hard way... We take this back to the
library, put our heads together, and

figure out a way to get you back into
the bottle.

Are we stuck building pillow forest
before you land?

Yeah.

You're bluffing.

Hard way it is, then.

Give me that bottle! Here we go!

Oh!

I'm gonna miss my train!

Mr. Jenkins.

Hi, it's Lisa Pascal.

Mr. Stone gave me your number.

Hi. I have a quick question about the
door's Kruskal-Zukris coordinates.

No, I'm not messing with the internal
functioning.

But if I were, wouldn't moving the
aluminum conductors allow the

coordinates to shift?

I'll call you back.

Not so fast, but slow at the same time.

God, I'm here.

Yeah.

Women in Parliament.

Bring it back!

Lisa! In three...

It worked?

It worked.

No, it didn't. I'll be taking my bottle
now.

Bring it back.

Liza, reset.

Liza, reset. I'm trying.

Call the cops!

Liza hurry!

Oh, no.

Finally.

Now, that was all very exciting. And as
they say, all's well that ends well.

A valiant attempt.

The game is over.

Dear librarians.

That was marvelous cardio, by the way.

But I have a plane to catch.

Toodaloo. No.

No, no, no, no, no. I told you. You're
supposed to follow me. I'm the senior

librarian. I'm the one who knows what
he's doing.

That is not fair. We're doing everything
we could. I have had enough of listening

to you.

I don't want to hear anything from you
ever again. In fact, I wish I was on the

other side of the world right now.

Wish granted.

You've got to be careful what you wish
for.

Wait, what's happening?

You know the bottle can't be empty,
right?

That means you have to fill it.

And you tethered stones of Ekron. So
when he wished to be on the other side

of the world, stone went with him.

I can't go back.

I'm finally free.

Some of us plan ahead.

Some of us do it on the fly.

We get the job done.

Hello?

Did you know that on the other side of
the world from Belgrade is the middle of

the Pacific Ocean?

I think the tide is coming in.

I'll get Liza to set a door.

There's no doors.

Send a boat.

Sharks. Oh, yes.

Awesome.

You too sure you didn't want to stay on
a tropical island?

About 30 more minutes and that tropical
island would have been underwater.

What I got to say, it was bad thinking.

I may have thought about it in advance,
by 20 seconds or so.

Since this is the first genie bottle
they've ever had, It's like the

library's created a special room for us.

Oh, well, I assume it is buried deep
with cement walls.

A very exciting acquisition of the
library. But how do you suppose we

become untethered?

You already are.

When the genie was forced back into his
bottle, all his freed wishes reversed.

What of a genie law we don't know?

Is that...

I'm already writing a report about it.
People reappeared downtown, keys went

missing, and... Ambrose. Don't worry. I
found a loophole.

Oh, no.

He's changed all my presets.

Oh, look, Ambrose. It's Animal Planet.

What do you mean you want to watch Love
is Blind?

Oh.

Who knew a magical sub-dimensional space
would subvert the life-death ratio?

Wow. I've got to put that in my report.

All right.

Come on, Connor. Let's get this to the
library.

Let these two say goodbye.

At least the genie's going to be
comfortable.
