No, I gained information. 199 00:16:30,780 --> 00:16:33,980 Vikram scared him off just as I was earning his trust. Which, by the way, is 200 00:16:33,980 --> 00:16:35,840 something we have nothing of, apparently. 201 00:16:36,340 --> 00:16:37,480 Guardian of my honor? 202 00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:41,420 Really? What about you? What did you learn? 203 00:16:41,820 --> 00:16:46,780 Oh, I found some of Robert's articles and research papers. His early work is 204 00:16:46,780 --> 00:16:49,880 mostly about using the geological record to find patterns related to climate 205 00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:51,300 change. Pretty straightforward stuff. 206 00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:56,980 Then... About a year ago, he became interested in folklore about geodes and 207 00:16:56,980 --> 00:16:58,920 covalent crystals. 208 00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:03,600 According to Slavic mythology, there are stones called alatirs, believed to be 209 00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:06,599 the mother of all stones and nestled in the navel of the earth. 210 00:17:06,839 --> 00:17:09,260 Slavic mythology. That would explain what brought him to Belgrade. 211 00:17:09,740 --> 00:17:15,040 The alatir are referred to in both ancient Russian and Balkan poetry as a 212 00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:17,220 mighty force that has no end. 213 00:17:17,780 --> 00:17:20,359 He made a sketch of it. 214 00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:24,200 It's not too large. He could be carrying that on his purse. 215 00:17:24,780 --> 00:17:29,260 When he sensed danger, I saw something on his arm. It was under the skin. It 216 00:17:29,260 --> 00:17:30,960 glowed, but it was smaller than this. 217 00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:34,680 What did you glean at the police station? 218 00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:36,800 There was something odd about our jewel thieves. 219 00:17:37,300 --> 00:17:38,740 They weren't hardened criminals. 220 00:17:39,120 --> 00:17:41,380 They said something just came over them. 221 00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:42,800 Couldn't explain their behavior. 222 00:17:43,020 --> 00:17:44,360 They said they felt possessed. 223 00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:49,280 It sounds like our case with the cut purse is at the park, but what is the 224 00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:50,280 connection? 225 00:17:50,730 --> 00:17:52,090 There's only one way to find out. 226 00:17:53,110 --> 00:17:55,530 You must lure him into another liaison. 227 00:17:55,950 --> 00:17:56,950 Lure him? 228 00:17:56,990 --> 00:17:58,430 Like I'm some kind of femme fatale? 229 00:17:58,930 --> 00:18:01,690 Exactly. But you'll be operating strictly in your capacity as a 230 00:18:01,690 --> 00:18:04,930 librarian. Why would he even want to see me again after what happened? 231 00:18:05,230 --> 00:18:06,149 What happened? 232 00:18:06,150 --> 00:18:10,270 It was revealed you have a protective relative, whereas you found out he has 233 00:18:10,270 --> 00:18:12,110 superpowers. Who has more explaining to do? 234 00:18:13,190 --> 00:18:15,050 It is our best shot. 235 00:18:17,330 --> 00:18:18,330 Okay. 236 00:18:18,700 --> 00:18:21,200 Connor, you continue the research on Robert and the Altair. 237 00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:24,260 Myself and Charlie shall accompany Miss Patel. No. 238 00:18:25,020 --> 00:18:26,020 No. 239 00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:29,520 If I do this, I'm doing it on my own. 240 00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:44,520 I didn't know if you'd come. 241 00:18:45,120 --> 00:18:46,140 No, I didn't either. 242 00:18:47,360 --> 00:18:48,360 Don't worry. 243 00:18:48,430 --> 00:18:49,510 I'm alone, I promise. 244 00:18:49,850 --> 00:18:50,910 You sure about that? 245 00:18:51,490 --> 00:18:55,330 I'm sorry about what happened. The Vikram can be all over protective. 246 00:18:55,590 --> 00:18:58,250 I felt terrible when you ran off like that. 247 00:18:58,610 --> 00:19:02,270 I ran off because you couldn't possibly understand what's happening with me. 248 00:19:02,630 --> 00:19:03,489 Try me. 249 00:19:03,490 --> 00:19:05,450 You might be surprised at what I can understand. 250 00:19:08,110 --> 00:19:11,830 What do you do when you spend your entire life studying science and then 251 00:19:11,830 --> 00:19:14,390 you find out there are more powerful forces at play in the universe? 252 00:19:14,970 --> 00:19:16,470 Like what? 253 00:19:18,620 --> 00:19:19,620 Like magic. 254 00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:29,560 This stone 255 00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:33,160 in your arm, is it what glows when you become Red Rock? 256 00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:36,180 The part of it, it's a shard. 257 00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:40,160 It embedded itself in my arm when I activated the main stone. 258 00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:41,800 And where is that? 259 00:19:42,180 --> 00:19:43,840 I've still not found it. I'm studying it. 260 00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:47,860 I think you're messing with things beyond your control. 261 00:19:48,820 --> 00:19:52,020 Why don't you let me try and take out the shard? Take out the shard? 262 00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:56,620 Have you seen the strength it gives me? Can you imagine the power if I could 263 00:19:56,620 --> 00:19:57,620 harness the main stone? 264 00:19:57,800 --> 00:19:59,880 But there's always a price to pay for using magic. 265 00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:02,980 The difference I could make in the world. You are making a difference. As 266 00:20:02,980 --> 00:20:07,580 scientist. If science is the be-all and end-all, then why did you give up on 267 00:20:07,580 --> 00:20:08,399 your work? 268 00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:11,720 What's the mystery project? And who is this guy, Chamberlain? 269 00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:15,400 He's a relative, a distant relative. There is nothing for you to be jealous 270 00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:16,400 about. 271 00:20:16,460 --> 00:20:18,180 Liza, this isn't about being jealous. 272 00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:24,600 This is about me telling you my deepest secrets, and you're still hiding 273 00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:25,600 something from me. 274 00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:32,580 Look, in case you hadn't realized, I care about you deeply. 275 00:20:34,460 --> 00:20:36,120 We can be honest with each other. 276 00:20:38,380 --> 00:20:39,380 I'm sorry. 277 00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:43,620 Right, I am keeping things from you. It's this project. 278 00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:51,080 I have to go. 279 00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:52,440 No, you don't. 280 00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:53,760 Robert, Robert! 281 00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:03,700 We now know two very important things. 282 00:21:04,170 --> 00:21:08,030 Red Rock is deriving his power from a larger Alatea stone, and not just from 283 00:21:08,030 --> 00:21:11,490 the shard in his arm. Great work, Lysa. I'm glad you think it's great. I feel a 284 00:21:11,490 --> 00:21:12,490 bit shady. 285 00:21:12,710 --> 00:21:17,030 But didn't he also say that he was still studying it where he found it? Yeah. 286 00:21:17,490 --> 00:21:21,050 And Connor said that the stones were nestled in the navel of the Earth. 287 00:21:21,310 --> 00:21:25,030 Well, we also know that Belgrade has an extensive network of underground 288 00:21:25,030 --> 00:21:28,290 caverns, so we can assume this is where the Alatea can be found. 289 00:21:28,670 --> 00:21:29,670 Which cavern? 290 00:21:29,710 --> 00:21:31,090 I mean, they go on for miles. 291 00:21:32,270 --> 00:21:34,590 Robert had white clay on his shoes. 292 00:21:34,810 --> 00:21:37,910 This would indicate an area by the Sava River. 293 00:21:38,710 --> 00:21:39,710 Ah. 294 00:21:39,990 --> 00:21:41,770 I think I have an idea where it might be. 295 00:21:45,630 --> 00:21:47,330 Excellent.

I didn't think I had it in me to 308 00:22:42,890 --> 00:22:43,890 feel this way. 309 00:22:44,930 --> 00:22:46,210 It just happened. 310 00:22:48,010 --> 00:22:49,730 I thought we were just going to be friends. 311 00:22:50,210 --> 00:22:55,230 But he was so smart and so... So... 312 00:22:55,230 --> 00:22:57,410 handsome. 313 00:22:59,990 --> 00:23:01,290 We met at a lecture. 314 00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:03,680 We had coffee. We exchanged books. 315 00:23:03,980 --> 00:23:07,160 These things have a way of taking on a life of their own. Nobody realized how 316 00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:08,260 good of a person he was. 317 00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:10,300 So decent. 318 00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:14,920 You know, before he was going to be a geologist, he was a divinity student. 319 00:23:15,420 --> 00:23:17,160 He thought about becoming a priest. 320 00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:21,740 Sounds almost too good to be true. Well, yeah, then he found magic and power 321 00:23:21,740 --> 00:23:24,640 and... I think he's becoming obsessed with both of them. 322 00:23:26,140 --> 00:23:28,060 It's only a matter of time, Liza. 323 00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:30,240 Magic. 324 00:23:30,620 --> 00:23:31,620 Power. 325 00:23:32,909 --> 00:23:34,330 Corruption. It's the devil's equation. 326 00:23:36,550 --> 00:23:38,410 Vikram, I'm worried about what's going to happen to him. 327 00:23:52,670 --> 00:23:54,390 What makes you so sure this is the way? 328 00:23:54,910 --> 00:23:56,330 I'm following you, Hutch. 329 00:24:30,570 --> 00:24:32,010 I had a feeling that he was looking for this place. 330 00:24:41,150 --> 00:24:43,670 In a cult history circle, this is something people whisper about. 331 00:24:51,950 --> 00:24:52,950 Hang on. 332 00:25:02,410 --> 00:25:03,410 That's what I was afraid of. 333 00:25:11,510 --> 00:25:14,170 What is this place? 334 00:25:15,910 --> 00:25:17,330 Remember everything I told you? 335 00:25:17,930 --> 00:25:19,290 About Germany under Hitler? 336 00:25:19,650 --> 00:25:20,650 Of course I did. 337 00:25:20,930 --> 00:25:23,510 A much terrific and dark period of history. 338 00:25:23,930 --> 00:25:27,890 When this area was occupied during the Second World War, the Germans maintained 339 00:25:27,890 --> 00:25:29,870 bunkers underground to avoid Allied bombers. 340 00:25:31,630 --> 00:25:33,010 It doesn't look like a bomb shelter. 341 00:25:33,730 --> 00:25:36,670 Robert discovered that some of these places weren't just for hiding. There 342 00:25:36,670 --> 00:25:37,670 was something else entirely. 343 00:25:37,910 --> 00:25:38,910 Like what? 344 00:25:39,650 --> 00:25:44,350 Like hidden laboratories for unleashing the power of the magical artifacts. 345 00:25:47,450 --> 00:25:48,730 So where is the stone? 346 00:26:02,700 --> 00:26:03,499 What is it? 347 00:26:03,500 --> 00:26:06,520 Looks like a primitive magnetic susceptibility detector. 348 00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:10,380 It's used in geology to measure the electromagnetic field intensity in 349 00:26:10,380 --> 00:26:11,380 rocks. 350 00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:16,080 These screws have fresh scratches on them. 351 00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:18,320 Yeah. 352 00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:33,840 Nothing here. No, wait. 353 00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:37,060 Ah, see that? 354 00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:39,040 Tiny crystallite fragments. 355 00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:40,800 Yeah. Stone was here. 356 00:26:41,580 --> 00:26:43,100 It must have moved out. 357 00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:48,720 Then we must find it before he's completely corrupted by its power. 358 00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:12,120 You sure he said he went down here? 359 00:27:12,380 --> 00:27:14,060 He said it was still where he found it. 360 00:27:14,660 --> 00:27:15,660 We've looked everywhere. 361 00:27:16,060 --> 00:27:17,960 We must be calm before Red Road returns. 362 00:27:18,340 --> 00:27:19,920 We need to understand what we're dealing with. 363 00:27:24,700 --> 00:27:25,820 Okay, here's what we know. 364 00:27:26,020 --> 00:27:29,940 I had to dig in some dark corners of the library's collection, but I found the 365 00:27:29,940 --> 00:27:31,320 archive of the Ahnenerbe. 366 00:27:32,030 --> 00:27:33,009 The what? 367 00:27:33,010 --> 00:27:37,210 The Annenerbe were a pseudoscientific organization within the German army. 368 00:27:37,350 --> 00:27:40,490 They were tasked with creating false historical narratives to support 369 00:27:40,490 --> 00:27:44,610 Hitler's racist theories, heavy on occult beliefs. Apparently, when they 370 00:27:44,610 --> 00:27:48,330 tried to tap into the power of the Aletheer, they unleashed unwanted 371 00:27:48,330 --> 00:27:49,570 contrary forces. 372 00:27:50,230 --> 00:27:51,230 Contrary forces? 373 00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:55,340 Yeah, for every power that it granted them, the stone created more antagonists 374 00:27:55,340 --> 00:27:56,340 who rose up against them. 375 00:27:56,580 --> 00:27:57,720 Partisans, guerrilla fighters. 376 00:27:58,120 --> 00:28:00,760 Oh, so they can't sell each other out. Created so many problems for them that 377 00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:01,760 they scuttled the program. 378 00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:03,760 It's Newton's third law. 379 00:28:04,040 --> 00:28:06,420 Every action has an equal and opposite reaction. 380 00:28:06,940 --> 00:28:11,280 But this is magic. Yeah, but even magic has to be subject to the laws of 381 00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:14,900 physics. So Newton believed that forces come in action-reaction force pairs. 382 00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:18,900 So in this instance, the force pair is the superhero and... And the super 383 00:28:18,900 --> 00:28:22,980 criminal. Or super crime, in the form of the current crime wave. It's a feedback 384 00:28:22,980 --> 00:28:28,040 loop. So this rock, this aletheer, is giving Robert his powers and turning 385 00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:29,460 ordinary people into felons. 386 00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:34,000 When I tapped into the local crime database, it showed that 90% of recent 387 00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:36,040 incidences are committed by first-time offenders. 388 00:28:36,260 --> 00:28:37,780 And the numbers are increasing rapidly. 389 00:28:38,060 --> 00:28:41,900 So... The Red Rock continues using the power of the stone. The entire city will 390 00:28:41,900 --> 00:28:44,120 descend into knavery and chaos. 391 00:28:44,420 --> 00:28:46,760 Robert will become more and more corrupted by magic. 392 00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:48,240 We need to find that ality. 393 00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:50,620 A-P-S-A. 394 00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:53,840 E-S-A-P. 395 00:28:54,280 --> 00:28:57,780 Right.

I know that's not stalkerish, but I needed to find you. 407 00:29:37,790 --> 00:29:39,490 This is not something you can control. 408 00:29:40,060 --> 00:29:43,300 I can control it. You think you can, but you're dealing with forces greater than 409 00:29:43,300 --> 00:29:44,300 you are. How do you know? 410 00:29:44,540 --> 00:29:46,800 This project I'm working on, it has to do with thaumaturgy. 411 00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:48,280 You mean magic? 412 00:29:48,500 --> 00:29:50,300 Yes.

They wouldn't like it if they did. 416 00:29:58,300 --> 00:30:00,680 So what's been happening between us is a part of your job? 417 00:30:00,940 --> 00:30:04,680 No, no. I only realized what was happening after we became involved. 418 00:30:05,420 --> 00:30:07,020 Robert. Why are you here? 419 00:30:07,450 --> 00:30:10,890 Because I care about you, and I know what happens when people abuse magic. 420 00:30:11,270 --> 00:30:14,790 I'm not abusing anything. I was chosen for this. Listen to yourself. It's 421 00:30:14,790 --> 00:30:15,790 already happening. 422 00:30:15,890 --> 00:30:19,190 Oh, you're not the same guy that I first met.

It creates a purpose for your 428 00:30:32,030 --> 00:30:33,810 power by turning other people to crime. 429 00:30:34,210 --> 00:30:35,530 You're wrong.

And one way or another, my colleagues will 433 00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:47,080 get it from you. 434 00:30:47,460 --> 00:30:48,940 Don't walk away from me again. 435 00:30:50,460 --> 00:30:52,600 I care about you.
