[theme music concludes]

[whirring]

[whooshes]

I had no idea it would be this big.

No wonder it's affecting magic worldwide.

How am I meant to get the Orb magic back from that?

Remember what it felt like to connect with the keys?

Find that connection again.

[dramatic music playing]

Apinya, the snake.

The cobra didn't harm her before.

Because I had what it wanted, Orb magic.

Not anymore.

[hisses]

[whooshes]

-[gasps] -Destroy it!

[whooshes]

[groans]

[whooshes]

-[groans] -[whooshes]

-[Kazuhiro groans] -[whooshes]

[groans, exhales]

It's taken my magic.

[gasps]

It's too dangerous, Kyra. We have to go.

[whooshes]

[dramatic music concludes]

-[crickets chirping] -[gentle music playing]

[Kyra] The Purple Lotus took the fairy's magic.

-He couldn't stop it. It was awful. -[indistinct chatter]

And you couldn't get your Orb magic back from the Lotus?

Now that it's active, the cobra's become like its guard dog.

[inhales] I couldn't get near the Lotus.

[Darra] So all that work and no wealth or riches.

I'm gonna ask that elf for my money back.

We wouldn't be in this mess if you just ignored him

-in the first place. -Throwing blame around isn't helping.

What's Apinya gonna do?

I don't think she has any idea.

If we can't control our magic… [inhales] …then what do we do?

[newsreader on TV] And in breaking news, reports are coming in

from around the world of a series of bizarre events.

A talking tree in the Bois de Boulogne in Paris,

a dragon in the skies over London,

and in River City, a riderless bicycle.

The events have been accompanied by sightings of creatures

with pointed ears and wands.

-Morning, Dad. -Morning, sweetheart. Seen the news yet?

-No, why? -[newsreader] …that magic is real,

-and that elves and fairies… -The world's going crazy.

People seeing weird stuff all over the place.

They're saying it's magic.

What?

Fact or fiction, we'll be keeping you posted

as further reports come to hand.

-[gasps, breathes shakily] -[remote clicks]

Dad, there's something you should know.

[cell phone rings]

I've been meaning to tell you for a while but…

[cell phone beeps]

Sergeant Glen.

Okay. I'll see you in ten.

Sorry, love, it'll have to wait.

All off-duty personnel have been called in.

-Be careful, okay? -[keys jingling]

Always.

[Imogen] Sorry about what I said last night.

I know you didn't mean any of this to happen.

It's okay.

I shouldn't be so worried about what Dad thinks of me.

You know he wouldn't be so hard on you if he didn't love you.

I guess.

Have you thought about not being able to rely on your magic?

What our lives would be like?

We'd have to go to human school, and learn to do things their way.

Do you think they'd accept us?

[birds chirping]

We're not so different.

Kyra is.

She could end up being the only one in the whole world

being able to use magic.

Are you gonna be okay being with her if she can use magic, but you can't?

[indistinct chatter]

[girls exclaiming]

-[girl 1] It's snowing! -[girl 2] It's snowing!

[girls laugh]

[girl 1] Oh, look at this!

-[wind blowing] -[indistinct chatter]

[Darra] We have to stop this.

-[whooshes] -[wind blowing]

[dramatic music playing]

-What do we do? -I don't know.

Hey, I didn't expect to see you here.

I don't know about you, but I'm almost out of fairy dust.

[whooshes]

Seriously? You're doing a tooth run tonight?

Why not? It's my job and yours.

When the entire magical world is under threat from the Purple Lotus,

I think there's other priorities.

Think of all those children waking up tomorrow

to find the tooth fairy hasn't been.

You can't do that. It'll break their little hearts.

[Ruksy] Lily, you're such a softie.

I'm a fairy. What do you expect?

[whooshes]

What's happening?

It's the Purple Lotus. It's stealing our fairy dust.

[magical chiming]

-[siren wailing] -[indistinct chatter]

-[indistinct chatter] -[girl 3] This is so good!

-[chuckling] Oh, watch out. -[girl 4 chuckling]

[indistinct chatter]

Hey, Darra.

-[wind blowing] -[dramatic music playing]

He can see our ears.

-[wind blowing] -[dramatic music playing]

[indistinct chatter]

Did you see that?

[whooshes]

[books clattering]

[dramatic music playing]

-[vibrations rumbling] -[magical chiming]

[indistinct chatter]

[DMI agent] There are magical disturbances worldwide.

-[Sean] And our countermeasures? -[DMI agent] Ineffective.

Sean, I need a word.

-Not now. -[Apinya] You need to hear this.

Kyra couldn't extract the Orb magic from the Lotus,

-so we need to destroy it. -[Sean] How do you propose to do that?

I take it you have no idea, or you wouldn't be here.

[door creaks]

[Sean] Not now. No, no wait.

Assemble the crisis strategy team.

The DMI possess magical objects of immense power.

We think one of these could do it.

You want to raid my vault.

Not just yours.

I put the call out to every DMI office.

I'll talk to Maxwell. He knows what we have.

So if there's nothing else…

Try this one.

All the fairy dust is gone.

[gasps]

-[Lily] Our magic's been stolen. -[Imogen] Our ears got seen.

-By your dad, Kyra. [inhales] -My dad saw your ears?

Sorry, we couldn't help it.

That's what Magnus must've meant when he said

there'll be no more elves and fairies.

But we're all still here.

[Kyra] Don't you see?

The Lotus doesn't just disrupt elf and fairy magic.

It drains it.

And that was Vannak's plan all along.

Vannak was so bent on revenge for what elves and fairies did to Tri-lings

that he wanted to make sure it could never happen again.

By taking away the thing that made it possible.

Magic.

Without magic, I'm just a girl with pointy ears.

So, no more elves and fairies?

The main thing is not to panic.

-[whooshes] -[Jared gasps]

Imogen, Darra, thank goodness you're safe.

Come with me.

[inhales] I'm evacuating my family. We have a private sanctuary.

-What? -We're not leaving.

To be honest, Jared, I don't see much point in running.

[smacks lips] And whose fault is that?

You set this Purple Lotus in motion.

-No. -You gave it Orb magic.

-I had no choice. -[Jared] You're a Tri-ling.

This is what your kind wants.

-Jared! -I never wanted this!

She's right, Dad. I started it.

Don't be ridiculous. Why would you do that?

Because nothing I do is ever good enough for you.

All my life, you've been making decisions for me.

You don't care what I want as long as you get what you want.

Finding a legendary temple filled with riches

seemed like a way to make you respect me.

So if you want to blame someone, look in the mirror.

[inhales]

We'll discuss this later. Come along.

No.

Imogen…

Where are you planning to go, Dad?

The Lotus will affect us wherever we are.

We leave in an hour.

Your mother and I will expect you.

[whooshes]

He needed to hear that.

I'm proud of you.

[exhales]

Are you all right?

[footsteps receding]

[whooshes]

[dramatic music playing]

I've been summoned to the DMI.

Stay here.

[whooshes]

[dramatic music continues]

[Professor Maxwell] Apinya must realize we can't just hurl

random magical objects at the Lotus. The effect would be catastrophic.

I don't think we have a choice.

-What do you need me to do? -[Sean] Go back to the library.

Identify any magical artifact that could destroy the Lotus.

[clock ticking]

We're facing the end of magic.

[dramatic music fades]

-[Darra] Don't listen to my father. -[birds chirping]

[Kyra] He's only saying what most elves and fairies will think.

That I'm responsible for this.

Don't say that.

You've never been anything but loyal and committed to the magical world.

I can't change the fact that I'm a Tri-ling.

I don't belong.

So you're just gonna walk away?

Wait until the Lotus does its work,

and then rejoice with your new Tri-ling friends?

You're the one that's always telling us to not give up.

The Lotus must have a weakness. Some way to stop it.

Like an off switch.

Yes.

But how would we even find out about that?

-[exciting music playing] -[birds chirping]

[inhales] There is someone who might know.

Magnus was searching for the Purple Lotus for years. [exhales]

He knew so much about it.

[chuckles] See, his journals are filled with drawings of the Lotus.

[Imogen] So?

So, all that knowledge had to come from somewhere.

Don't you see?

I think Magnus had Vannak's plans for the Purple Lotus.

And we need to get them.

[Peter] And you're thinking that if we had the plans,

they might show a way how to turn the Lotus off.

And Peter gets an elephant stamp.

Even if he had them, there's a slight problem

that we don't know where the plans are now.

Or if they still exist.

It doesn't matter.

If Magnus had them, we just have to go and get them.

And how do you suppose we do that?

Have you forgot about this?

-[chuckles] -[Darra] We have the temporalis.

You mean, we go back in time to when Magnus had the plans.

-Cool. -[Kyra laughs]

[inhales] We just need to figure out where he had them.

Any thoughts?

We find out where Magnus lives and search the place.

[Peter] If the plans were so important,

I think he would have hidden them somewhere less obvious.

Or kept them in a bank.

So the plans could be anywhere.

Maybe not.

[exhales]

[Peter] Who's Who of the Magical World. What are you looking for?

[Ruksy] Magnus Sorenson's entry.

I doubt that'd say where he kept Vannak's plans.

No, but I do remember something from last time I looked in here.

Look what's in the photo. On the left, sitting on the lectern.

-That looks like a lotus on the cover. -[Darra] Can you make out anything else?

The writing is Khmer. Vannak built the Lotus in Cambodia.

[Peter] They have to be the plans for the Lotus.

[inhales] So we go back to the time that photo was taken

and get the plans. [exhales]

The photo was taken in the Grand Hotel in Singapore, 1919.

[Lily] "Magnus Sorenson requests the pleasure of your company

at a private soiree to finance his next expedition."

[exhales] He's raising money to look for the keys.

Everyone there must be a Tri-ling.

And we know how Tri-lings feel about elves and fairies.

-Present company excepted. -[exhales]

Look, it'll be dangerous, but I can't see any other way.

If anyone doesn't want to come, I understand.

[chuckles] Okay, then. Let's do this. [exhales]

Just one teeny little problem.

How do we get in without an invitation?

[whooshes]

[exhales in relief] Perfect.

-Let's go get those plans. -Dressed like this?

[chuckles] Super job. Even if I do say so myself.

[chuckles]

We'll fit right in, let's go.

-[whooshes] -[gasps]

Um. Sorry. That wasn't me.

[exhales]

You can't come.

-Why? -Your magic's too unreliable.

So is everyone else's.

What if your wand suddenly appears? Or your wings?

Not a good idea at a Tri-ling ball. [exhales]

Elf ears are much easier to hide.

Sorry, but if we stay, the Lotus will take our magic.

Ruksy, I promise you, we won't let that happen.

We need to go now.

-[Peter] Not quite yet. -[wind blowing]

[inhales, exhales]

[Peter] Stylish, huh?

And useful for making a really, really fast getaway.

-Since when are you coming? -[Kyra] Peter can pass as a Tri-ling.

No risk of ears or wings appearing.

Okay. [exhales]

[clicking]

Don't go away. We'll be back in a minute.

-[clicks] -[whooshes]

[dramatic music playing]

-[classical music playing] -[indistinct chatter]

Could you hurry up, please? Our parents are waiting for us.

[Kyra] This is where the photo was taken.

Any idea where the plans are?

Probably locked away until they're brought out for that photo.

[exhales] You check that side.

You're sure they can't tell I'm human?

-I feel like everyone's looking at me. -Stop acting nervous, or they will.

[gasps]

That's Magnus. I can't risk him recognizing me.

Good to see you, Harry.

Margot, I love that dress. Thank you for coming.

[Margot] Your invitation was so intriguing.

How could we possibly stay away?

[Harry] Managed to attract some big money to this…

-Mm. These are so good. -Could you focus on why we're here?

There's a hundred years between now and the last time I ate.

I'm starving.

That's one of Magnus's men.

Looks like he's guarding that door.

I don't think he's waiting to be asked to dance.

[waiter] What do you think you're doing?

I'm sorry?

You're paid to serve the guests, not consort with them.

-But I'm not-- -[waiter] No backchat from you, Larry.

Get to it.

My apologies, miss.

It's so hard to get good help these days.

Between you and me, all these young chaps,

they could do with a stint in the army.

Did wonders for me.

-Have a lovely evening, miss. -[chuckles]

-[classical music playing] -[indistinct chatter]

[scratches ]

[Magnus] Fellow Tri-lings,

thank you for coming tonight.

For centuries, Tri-lings have been persecuted

by elves and fairies,

but Vannak created the Purple Lotus to end that.

The day of the Lotus is at hand.

[crowd cheers]

[Harry] Where are the keys, Magnus?

We've paid you handsomely, yet there's nothing to show for it.

In case you'd forgotten, Harry,

the keys have eluded everyone for centuries.

Locating them was never going to be easy or cheap.

But with your financial support, I will find them.

I've narrowed the search to a number of locations

in Southeast Asia. I will need men and supplies

-for an exp-- -[electricity buzzing]

-[crowd murmuring] -Find out what's going on.

-[dramatic music playing] -[indistinct chatter]

[door creaks]

-[door closing] -[crickets chirping]

[breathes shakily]

-[switch clanging] -[gasps]

[door opening]

What are you doing?

I was looking for the ladies' room. [exhales]

I know you.

[dramatic music playing]

Kyra's plan better work.

I can't even imagine what it'd be like not to be a fairy.

We should go back into our normal clothes.

[Lily] Until I find more fairy dust, I'm not wasting what's left in my wand.

[portal whooshing]

Another magical mishap?

-Ah… -Oh, well… [chuckles]

What a coincidence that you're wearing the same style of clothes

as in this photo.

[smacks lips] You know what they say about coincidences, don't you?

-They're funny? -They're hard to believe.

[chuckles]

Now that the lights are back, you can all see where to sign your checks.

-[chuckling] Plenty of zeros, please. -[crowd laughing]

Magnus, look who I found.

Kyra…

[breathes shakily] How dare you?

I am a Tri-ling, like all of you.

I belong here.

I never thought I'd see you again.

What are you doing here?

I know why you couldn't get the keys.

Why should I believe you? You tricked me and stole my journal.

[Harry] What's going on, Magnus?

Who is she?

She may be spying for the DMI.

-No. I've come to help you. -[indistinct chatter]

Take her. I'll deal with her later.

Wait! [breathes shakily] There are spies here. I was followed.

[whooshes]

-[woman screams] -[man] Elves!

-Kyra, what are you doing? -Quiet, elf.

Last time we met, that elf was helping you.

He was useful. His usefulness is at an end. Take them.

[indistinct chatter]

[Magnus] You claim to have answers. Then enlighten me.

Why am I unable to get the keys?

[Kyra] The keys to the Temple of the Purple Lotus

will only be yours if you have Orb of Lemuria.

[chuckles] No one knows where the Orb is.

I do.

[crowd gasps]

Magnus and I will find the keys and unlock the Temple of the Purple Lotus.

The time has come to fulfill Vannak's dream

and create a world ruled by Tri-lings.

[crowd cheering]

[camera clicks]

[Professor Maxwell] That's the most reckless, dangerous,

and foolhardy plan that I've ever heard of.

Probably just mad enough to work.

So we're not in trouble?

Desperate times call for desperate measures.

Once we have Vannak's plan, we'll have to find a way…

[whooshes]

It's the photograph.

It-- it's changing.

Something's gone wrong, Kyra's betrayed us.
