The Librarians

PREVIOUSLY ON THE LIBRARIANS

I'm with DOSA. Department of Statistical Anomalies.

Give us the Library, the government, DOSA.

I can't do that.

You swore an oath to the United States of America.

Are you gonna hold up to your oath?

Now, Apep, Egyptian God of Chaos...

Stone: If he manages to open the portal and release pure evil...

It'd feed off the open ley lines...

Hunting our whole world into darkness.

Flynn: I may have identified the one artifact

which may stem the tide.

Chislington: But for the Eye to bestow it's gift,

a sacrifice must be made.

- Life. - I know what I have to do.

A little dramatic meeting here, don't you think?

I work with the smartest people in the world.

They cannot know we're talking.

So you've come to a decision then.

I have two conditions.

You are hardly in any position...

One, we do this, we do this my way.

My design, my timetable.

I don't want anyone getting hurt.

I can live with that. The second?

- You let the Librarians go. - Absolutely not.

You can have the Library and all the artifacts.

They are not part of the deal.

Eve, they are dangerous.

Their minds, their abilities...

They and the artifacts are safer with us.

No, no. They're my friends.

They're off the table. Non-negotiable.

Or you can try and take the Library without my help.

Fine.

So do we have a deal, or did you drag me

all the way out here for nothing?

The Library is yours.

Cassandra, a watched pot never...

I'm just antsy.

We haven't had a case in weeks.

Oh, relax. Enjoy it.

A little downtime. Catch up on some reading.

This complete history of pre-Babylonian pottery is riveting stuff.

"Methods For Tattoo Removal."

Don't sneak up on me, man.

Touchy! Sheesh.

Ah, Eve Baird, ladies and gentlemen. Where have you been?

- A little R&R? - Find us a new case?

Actually, I've been meeting with DOSA.

- Cassandra: What? - I'm sorry.

- Did you just say DOS... - Yes.

- DOSA? DOSA? - Just the one DOSA, yes.

Eve, what's going on?

Back in Tibet, in the train car,

I wasn't abducted by Lamb's associates.

It was DOSA. They tried to recruit me,

scare me into turning against the Library.

Naturally, I said no, but they keep trying.

Why didn't you tell us?

Sneaking around, withholding, I mean,

that's something Flynn would do, but not you.

Hey! But he's right.

I'm sorry.

I was trying to wait for the right time.

I didn't want to alarm you guys.

But this could be good for us.

I'm sorry. DOSA chasing you is good for us?

Are you mental? We hate DOSA!

Okay, let's let her finish.

Don't you see?

They've taken me into their confidence.

They've lowered their guard.

While they were trying to play me...

You were playing them. That's my Baird.

I copied this from their files.

Somehow DOSA got the lead

on a location of a lost artifact.

Let's see.

Hello, yes.

This is written in Lakota, the language of the Sioux.

"When Mercury shines under the wolf moon,

the six grandfathers will reveal

- the great spider's web." - Great spider's web?

That's a map to the Iktomi dreamcatcher.

You mean those things they sell at shopping mall kiosks?

Jenkins: No, no, no. Not at all.

It's a very powerful Native American artifact.

According to Sioux legend, it has the power

to control other people's dreams.

This location's been lost for over a century.

Well, apparently not anymore.

"Six grandfathers" is the Sioux word

for a mountain in the Black Hills

more commonly known as Mount Rushmore.

Jenkins, we need to get there before DOSA does.

- Set a door. - I can't go with you.

You're not coming with us?

I have to meet with DOSA and check in.

If I don't, they'll become suspicious.

She's right. Don't want to lose our advantage.

Get the artifact, come right back.

If you get into any trouble, call.

On second thought, I'm gonna sit this one out.

I'm worried about Eve.

You think DOSA's got her rattled?

I don't know. Maybe.

I'm gonna talk to her. You three go.

Jenkins: The door awaits.

May I remind you, the clock is ticking.

Go!

Okay, so the map said something

about Mercury shining under a wolf moon.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

We're just gonna jump right in?

What about the big heads?

Don't you guys want to check out the big heads?

We're on the clock. You heard Baird.

All right, in the Sioux calendar,

"wolf moons" are a name for January.

January.

All right, you guys are missing out.

According to this, George Washington's nose

is a foot longer than the other three.

Don't tell me you guys aren't dying to see that.

Okay, so we need to start walking towards Mercury,

which in January would be in retrograde,

putting it at 27.62 degrees northeast... that-a way.

No! That's the wrong direction!

Come on, I had so many puns ready!

Why the long face? Keep your chin up!

What exactly are we looking for again?

You'll know it when you see it.

I just hope it's not a cave.

I mean, is it just me, or is anyone else sick of caves?

- Guys? - Yeah?

It's a Sioux wood carving. The owl symbolizes death.

- What's that in its eye? - It's a garnet crystal.

Most commonly found on the coast.

What's it doing here?

Garnet crystals have an extremely high level of light refraction.

The map said light would reveal something, right?

Cassandra: Yeah.

Hey!

Guys.

- What's it say? - More Lakota.

"Go to the sacred bear and kneel before the ancestral fire.

Only then will you find what you seek."

Great. A scavenger hunt.

Our whole job is a scavenger hunt.

"Sacred bear" is a Sioux reference

to a rock formation in Bear View Park.

It's about an hour's hike from here.

I'll call Jenkins to fire up the door.

And no reception. Figures.

Okay, well if we get a move on now,

we should make it before sundown.

Come on, boys.

Stone, you coming?

This hide, it's not right.

Come on, really?

I'm from Oklahoma. I know hides.

The Sioux tan their hides with oak and sumac.

It kept it rough around the edges.

This thing looks like it's store-bought.

And the ink is fresh.

What are you saying? The clue's a fake?

I'm saying the whole damn mission is a fake.

DOSA sent us on a wild goose chase.

So DOSA fed Baird bad information. But why?

Eve? Jenkins, have you seen Eve?

What? Sorry, sir.

Little situation here.

What's going on?

The door... It's been dismantled.

It's the perimeter alarm.

Is that Colonel Baird leading DOSA into the library?

Eve's working for DOSA?

There must be two or three dozen, heavily armed.

How could she be working for DOSA?

How could she do this to us?

How could she do it to me?

We cannot let them reach the artifacts, Mr. Car...

- She betrayed us! - Yes, sir, it would seem so.

And as much as that might hurt,

we have to protect the Library.

Yes, of course.

I will take the south passage,

see if I can slip past them,

start sealing doors and stashing artifacts.

You hold them off as long as you can.

I'll buy what time I can, sir.

I had no idea it was this big.

Bigger than you can imagine.

Pack everything up.

I want this place cleared out by 2300 hours.

- Let's go. Let's move. - Split up in teams.

I can't let you do that.

Step aside, Jenkins.

Colonel, I don't know what it is you think you're doing,
