His Dark Materials

‫- Sal! ‫- How did you get here?

‫Are you two safe?

‫Good question till later, ‫for now we don't know each other.

‫It's very good to see him again.

‫He said the same about you.

‫But he's different Lyra ‫and so is Salcilia.

‫They've hurt him?

‫No. ‫But clearly he's been through a lot.

‫Well, he's alive ‫and that's all that matters.

‫After we found Billy ‫I thought that maybe Roger...

‫I thought that too.

‫Bridget McGinn!

‫Could you come with me please, Bridget?

‫I haven't had my dinner yet.

‫Come on. ‫Don't make a fuss.

‫Quick, quick.

‫Straight ahead.

‫Come on.

‫"Reactor's activated."

‫"Intercision primed."

‫Right, we want to take ‫some measurements.

‫But I was measured when I got here.

‫Those were just your vitals, ‫these are slightly more sophisticated.

‫Could you stand on the ‫metal plate there?

‫And stare at the green light.

‫Alright, now turn yourself to the left.

‫And now to the right.

‫What are you looking for?

‫We'll take those pictures again. ‫Just to be safe.

‫What are you taking pictures of?

‫You're measuring Dust, aren't you?

‫Can you see Dust in these pictures?

‫- Who told you about Dust? ‫- One of the other girls.

‫No, they didn't, where are you from?

‫And you see, Doctor, ‫the thing is that, I wash regularly;

‫you won't find any dust on me.

‫Well, it's perhaps a little ‫more complicated than you might think.

‫What happens to the children that leave ‫this place? Where do they go?

‫To a place for more ‫grown-up children, of course.

‫So they don't die,

‫you don't cut their daemons away...

‫Lizzie, this is a ‫philosophical establishment,

‫not a child chophouse.

‫Now, may I take my picture?

‫Good.

‫Now keep perfectly still.

‫Oh, for crying out loud! ‫Can we not fix this?

‫Please make your way to the first ‫available fire exit.

‫Don't forget your shoes, Lizzie.

‫This always happens ‫after someone's been taken.

‫Form an orderly queue. Come along!

‫Follow the others, ‫out you go, no running.

‫Form three lines.

‫- Lawrence Kirby? ‫- Here, miss.

‫- Annie Padia? ‫- Here, miss.

‫- Roger Parslow? ‫- Here, miss.

‫- Esther Manville? ‫- Here, miss.

‫- Barclay Carter? ‫- Here, miss.

‫- Martha Farewell? ‫- Here, miss.

‫- Tommy Lindsay? ‫- Here, miss.

‫- Lizzie Brooks. ‫- Here, miss.

‫Lizzie?

‫When I saw you, ‫I couldn't believe it, I just...

‫Billy Costa was here and they, ‫they took him and he hasn't been back.

‫- There's help coming, Roger, but... ‫- Help?

‫- The Gyptians are coming. ‫- The Gyptians will be destroyed,

‫- they'll never make it. ‫- They need our help.

‫We need to find a way out. ‫We need an escape route.

‫Lyra, this requires careful thought.

‫Those that get caught breaking ‫the rules, they don't last long.

‫We can't stick out.

‫- Shane Walter? ‫- Here, miss.

‫- Beth Reid? ‫- Here, miss.

‫- Lyra, don't. ‫- Imogen Gould?

‫Here, miss.

‫- Macsen Bannister? ‫- You never could listen.

‫Daisy Delamore?

‫Sticking out is the only way we're ‫getting out. And I am staying here.

‫Otis Lavell? Children!

‫- Order... ‫- Who did that?

‫- or there will be consequences. ‫- Children, please.

‫Who did that?

‫Order!

‫Which is the way out?

‫There's an area they ‫don't allow us to go.

‫If I was a guessing person...

‫I'd guess that's the closest ‫thing this place has to an exit.

‫Wait, someone's coming.

‫What's that sound?

‫There's something inside.

‫These are daemons without humans.

‫David.

‫Jay.

‫Bridget.

‫These daemons belong to the children

‫who have been taken and not come back.

‫That's Billy.

‫His daemon's gone.

‫That means...

‫I'm sorry, Roger.

‫You knew?

‫I found him.

‫Before he died, ‫he'd got out of here somehow.

‫I helped him find his ma.

‫Lyra,

‫if the daemons are alive, ‫where are the children?

‫Eight...

‫Nine...

‫Ten...

‫One...

‫Two...

‫- Was Billy like this? ‫- Yes.

‫We can't end up here.

‫The alarm's stopped,

‫we have to get back.

‫Lyra!

‫Pass the word around, ‫about what's happening here,

‫they've got to be ready to escape ‫when we give them the signal.

‫And they've got to keep it ‫a deadly secret, do you understand?

‫The fire alarm, ‫the next time it sounds, it'll be me.

‫Get everyone ready to leave.

‫Are we drinking?

‫Here's to freedom and the ‫conclusion of our work here.

‫Rumour is, she's on her way.

‫- When? ‫- Her airship was seen

‫in Trollesund last week. Ever since the ‫breakout of that idiot Gyptian child,

‫she's been itching to get back here.

‫Well, with the new ‫severing equipment to show her,

‫if we were to focus on that.

‫We are on the edge ‫of magnificent discovery.

‫That is the line we need to reinforce.

‫She mustn't be allowed to ‫focus on the mistakes.

‫Do you think we are...

‫on the edge of discovery?

‫You doubt it?

‫There are times when I'm too worried.

‫Well when I'm concerned that perhaps...

‫This is just pain we're causing?

‫How many more children ‫have to die before we get it right?

‫We are doing what is necessary.

‫We get this right and we will truly free ‫generations from tyranny of sin.

‫And The Magisterium will recognise ‫and celebrate us

‫for the job we've done here.

‫And if we don't?

‫We can and must succeed.

‫"And leading the expedition to ‫Alaska will be Colonel John Parry."

‫"What will you be taking ‫with you from home?"

‫"Oh well if I could, ‫I'd take everything from home."

‫"I'd just pick it all up and ‫put it in the back of the backpack,"

‫"but, I can't do that so, some ‫photos, a small plastic jar of marmite;"

‫"a little of that goes a long way ‫and a toy car of my son's."

‫"I haven't actually told him that yet, ‫so, sorry Will."

‫"Have you been able to explain to ‫him what you're about to do?"

‫"Well yeah, actually it's been easier to ‫explain it to him than Elaine, my wife."

‫"I think helping scientists ‫drill for ice, sounds..."

‫"sounds kind of cool to a kid, ‫not that he's gonna be able to"

‫"remember any of it, but I'll be ‫writing, keeping them updated,"

‫"Shackleton style."

‫"I'm gonna write them some, ‫some truly letters."

‫"Keep it... you know, kind of romantic."

‫"Well that sounds epic indeed, ‫Colonel Parry."

‫Why aren't you going in?

‫She knows we're watching; ‫that's enough for now.

‫I'll find an opportunity soon enough.

‫Is it her?

‫It's her, ‫I can see the Golden Monkey.

‫Rose, check all the beds.

‫The next child she takes will be ‫from the boy's dormitory

‫and we're going to be sure of it. ‫We cannot stick out.

‫Martha, listen by the door, ‫tell us when she's close.

‫You've been making advances?

‫- Yes. ‫- Since you were last here,

‫five have survived, ‫mostly due to the new separator.

‫It's much more sophisticated ‫than the previous model.

‫And so has a much better survival rate.

‫Now the patient ‫can be conscious during treatment

‫and they remain conscious after.

‫It's quite something.

‫And are they responsive? ‫After treatment?

‫We can't make a judgement on ‫that at present,

‫- but initial indications do suggest... ‫- They're getting more responsive.

‫An exciting development.

‫May I see it in action?

‫- Let's set something up. ‫- Wonderful.

‫- I need your help! ‫- With what?

‫She can't find me here.

‫- You know her, don't you? ‫- I've come here to save you.

‫When I leave, you're coming too. ‫All of you.

‫This place is guarded ‫by wolves and Tartars,

‫you get past them, ‫you just got a wasteland of ice!

‫There's people coming to save us; the ‫Gyptians, then will help us, trust me.

‫I trust nobody in this place.

‫She's my mother.

‫I know what she's doing;

‫she's severing kids from their daemons.

‫Severing? ‫That's what happens?

‫Yes.

‫If she finds me here, Annie, ‫I don't know what she'll do.

‫I need you to hide me. Please.

‫Under the bed.
