There's an Oxford in your world, too? Has it got scholars?

Maybe I can find one who can tell me about Dust.

People are going to be l00king for me. Bad people, the police.

You mustn't draw attention to us.

Charles. Lizzie.

If you ever want to know more about these artefacts...

Well, they came to the lab.

She's followed Asrie* she's followed him through that window.

You're a scholar? Believe it or not, I am, yeah.

I need you to tell me about the particles you study.

Therets a knife in a tower, surrounded by angels.

The legends are true. This knife, the boy will lead us to it.

Your parents exchanged letters.

For some reason, the police think that they're important.

You were right, he came to us.

I have concerned myse* with a man named Stanislaus Grumman.

People say he knows the whereabouts

of some kind of 0bject that gives magical protection.

I thought I might find this item for her and get her that protection.

1f I don't find out about Dust, Roger's death will be for nothing.

We study something called dark matter. That's Dust.

I found the scholar!

She's called Mary Malone and she's got an engine that can see Dust,

and she's going to make it talk.

1t says you have something important to do.

The Magisterium in my world want to destroy Dust.

They think Dust is evil.

I think what they do is evil.

Did it really say my dad was alive?

You can trust me.

I'm leaving. Are you going to find Asriel?

I'm in search of something infinitely more valuable.

SERAF1 NA: Witches of Lake Enara, hear me.

We are facing devastation on a scale not seen in centuries.

The Magisterium will pay for their crimes,

but we cannot lose sight of the great war ahead.

The prophecy states that life in all of the worlds depends on the child.

She is more important now than ever.

We must find Lyra before anyone e*e does.

PAN: We're not really doing this, are we?

1 promised Mary I would,

and I think that machine has more to tell us.

But the alethiometer was clear.

We need to help Will find his father.

First, we need to find out more about Dust. For Roger.

If it's such a g00d idea... Sh!

WH1SPERS: ..then why are we creeping?

We need to stay with Will.

1t's t00 dangerous for Will in Oxford.

The police are l00king for him.

But the alethiometer said that we should...

Lyra, are we sure about this?

1t's fine, there's n0-one around.

Lee Scoresby...

We're on 0ur way, Mr Grumman.

It takes extraordinary people to fix it.

We're stuck 140 miles south of the island...

Dearest Elaine.

I'm lying awake here, thinking of you.

It's nearly summer solstice...

Such agony to leave you behind.

Do send more news of our boy.

Lyra! Are you awake?

We need to talk to the alethiometer again.

My dad's alive.

We can find him.

Lyra?

What did you tell Lyra?

Let's see if we can make this work.

Oh, come on, you did better than that for Lyra.

Hello.

Hello.

I tm Dl Walters.

I tm interested in a visitor you had yesterday.

PAN: How much longer am I going to be in this bag?

Mary!

SOFTLY: You have to go.

Why are we whispering?

There's a policeman in my 0ffice asking questions about you.

He knows you came to see me yesterday.

How does he know? I have n0 idea.

Lyra, are you in trouble? Do you need help?

Sorry to keep you waiting, I was just...

Can you both step into the 0ffice, please?

What a wonderful moustache.

We heard there was a child

running unsupervised around St Peterts College.

Whatts your name?

Lizzie. What's yours?

I tm I nspector Walters, Lizzie,

and I tve got a few questions, if thatts OK with you.

Of course.

Where are you from?

1 'm from London. But youtre staying in Oxford.

I am.

With whom? With some people. Friends.

Whatts their address? I don't know exact*,

but I can find it out for you, if you want.

Is this really necessary?

Shouldn't we wait for the girl's parents?

Do you go to school?

Yes, sometimes.

But youtre not at school today. Wel* it's the holidays.

I really don't think this is appropriate.

And youtve come to see Dr Malone today because...?

1 'm interested in her work. Lizzie is welcome here any time.

Do you understand her work?

Some of it. Is Will staying with you?

Yes, he is. He's...

Where is he...

...Lyra?

Sorry, could I speak to you over here, please?

I really think that the girl's guardian... No! No!

MARY GASPS

Stop her!

PORTER: No running!

Help me, Pan!

PAN: Take a left, Lyra, just down here.

D1 WALTERS: Student suspect...

PAN: This way!

PAN: I can't see him.

Maybe we lost him.

Lizzie, isn't it? From the museum.

You l00k lost. Can I give you a lift somewhere?

No.

Hey!

Actual*, yes.

Where to?

Summertown. SEAT BELT WARNI NG BEEPS

Seat belt.

It's on the right- hand side, pull it across you.

1t's gone. What?

WA1T!

He's stolen the alethiometer.

He was nothing but a thief!

You know, 1 've got a good feeling about this one.

It was getting dark about this time.

I still had the club in this hand,

and I was thinking about what he'd just said...

...and he said it again.

To which, I said to him...

You want to guess what I said?

I can't imagine.

I said...

..." No."

That's it? Mm- hm.

Wel* that is some story you got there.

Actual*, now that we're friends, maybe you could help me out.

You heard of a Stanislaus Grumman?

Mm.

Strange man.

Lean, tough, curious about everything...

You know where he is?

You know, he was a geol0gist or an archaeol0gist.

Some say he became a shaman

and went to live way 0ff in the wilderness

with some folk up the Yenisei. That's interesting.

But the last I heard, he died.

He died?

A trader told me Grumman got his leg caught in a trap -

cut it right to the bone.

We had a man in here last week said Grumman survived that trap.

Wel* that's great news. He tell you anything e*e?

He worked at the 0bservatory for a while,

up the mountain,

not far from here.

Maybe try up there.

Thank you.

OK, if I've got this right, you should be able to make words

and I should be able to hear them.

It's just a simple question that needs a simple answer.

Is Lyra safe?

One word - yes or n0.

SHE TYPES

Lyra?

What are you l00king at?

Nothing.

What are you after?

You know, maybe I can help.

I know this place backwards.

Wh0's that in the tower? No-one.

There's definitely someone up there.

1t'll be a ghost or something, I don't know.

Wouldn't surprise me if it's haunted. It's a person.

1t can't be. There's no way in and no way out.

What's it for, then? The Torre degli Angeli?

1t belongs to the Guild.

The Guild?

No-one knows much about them, real*,

but my brother says

they're this group of men who know important stuff

like philos0phy, alchemy...

Cowards, mind you -

they ran away when the Spectres came,

just like all the 0ther grown-ups,

and now 0n* the children are left here.

They get your parents?

The Spectres?

No. You're lucky.

Got mine.

Right in front of me.

Ate the life out of 'em.

I'm sorry.

Makes you nervous, being on your own.

It does.

I 'd best be 0ff.

You need a plan.

You're almost a grown-up, and you know what that means.

Won't be long before the Spectres are after you.

I'm not scared.

That's because you've never seen them at work.

STEADY BEEP1 NG

ANGR1 LY: Right, then.

What do you want with Dr Grumman?

Uh... You wouldn't happen to know where he is now, do you?

Somewhere up the Yenisei river.

Why do you want to know? So he is alive?

Dr Stanislaus Grumman...

We need to go back to Cittagazze.

We can't do anything without it.

There was this man 1 met at the museum.

Yes! He gave me his card.

But you do misunderstand me, Mr Scoresby.

No. Then, how can you possib* understand

You love her.

Of course I do.

It's not enough, though, is it?

Love.

It doesn't mean you won't hurt her,

doesn't mean she's safe with you.

It doesn't work that way.
