His Dark Materials

‫You didn't leave?

‫Why aren't you at the airfield ‫with the others?

‫The others are leaving?

‫Why?

‫This is the best place ‫we could possibly be.

‫We cut out your daemon, not your brain.

‫You seem,

‫upset.

‫The girl's gas balloon, ‫did you see which way it went?

‫There were a lot of girls ‫at this facility...

‫Lyra?

‫Did you see which way Lyra went?

‫I don't know a Lyra, Mrs. Coulter.

‫- Then you are no use to me. ‫- Oh, Id like...

‫to be of use.

‫I would like to make you happy.

‫Happy?

‫- Here? ‫- Yes.

‫This is the best place ‫you could possibly be.

‫No. Shhhh,

‫I didn't mean it. I didn't mean it. ‫I didn't mean it.

‫I don't know where to go.

‫I don't know where to go.

‫Lyra!

‫Iorek!

‫Lee!

‫Shush! Those cliff-ghast creatures ‫might still be around.

‫Iorek!!

‫No! No!

‫Lyra, check The Alethiometer.

‫Ask it if anyone's coming to rescue us.

‫Where's Iorek Byrnison?

‫He saw where we fell, ‫he saw the bear tracks

‫and he is headed this way.

‫He's coming to rescue us.

‫Pan, I wish I was a witch, ‫that way we could fly off

‫and see if my father is here.

‫But you are not a witch. ‫You are a little girl.

‫Who are you?

‫Jotham Santelia;

‫Regius Professor of Cosmology ‫at the University of Gloucester.

‫You're a scholar?

‫And you,

‫what's your name?

‫Lyra, Lyra Belacqua.

‫I don't suppose you've seen my father; ‫Asriel Belacqua?

‫He was taken prisoner ‫by the bears.

‫It wasn't too long ago, ‫he was sitting where you are now.

‫- He was here? ‫- Yes.

‫But the rogue cheated his way ‫to Iofur's side.

‫Word is, he's persuaded Iofur ‫to let him return to his laboratory

‫on the highest of mountains.

‫But, make no mistake; ‫that laboratory is still a prison

‫and King Iofur will never ‫let Asriel leave that place!

‫He will die up there, ‫conducting his heretical experiments!

‫Me and Iorek Byrnison will save him.

‫You are not going to get out of here

‫and Iorek Byrnison ‫will certainly not save you.

‫Why not?

‫Because there are ‫two hundred bears here.

‫They'll kill him with fire hurlers ‫before he even gets close

‫and then set upon the corpse ‫like he's a seal or a walrus.

‫Iorek should have been king, ‫but he was disgraced and exiled.

‫He will never be allowed back in ‫the Palace.

‫Hatred is a powerful motor.

‫And King Iofur ‫hates every inch of Iorek.

‫You're stuck here, as am I,

‫till you wilt, or they break you!

‫I once heard that what Iofur wants ‫most, is to be human?

‫It"s why he hired me.

‫My downfall came when I told him, ‫he was a bear and will always be one.

‫But unless you are a witch ‫and can magic him a daemon,

‫you will fail to please him, ‫just as I have.

‫I need to speak to Iofur Raknison.

‫It's about Iorek Byrnison.

‫There's something I know ‫that the king needs to know.

‫Just like your father.

‫Protecting your own skin, are you?

‫Betraying your friend.

‫- Pan, stay hidden. ‫- I will.

‫"What do you want?"

‫"its been easier to explain it ‫to him than, than Elaine, my wife."

‫"I think..."

‫"helping scientists drill for ice, ‫sounds, sounds kind of cool to a kid,"

‫"not that he's going to be able ‫to remember any of it."

‫"I'll be writing, keeping them updated."

‫"Shackleton style..."

‫"And I'm going to write them some, some ‫truly epic, er, er, letters..."

‫"and I'm going to write them some, some ‫truly epic, er, er letters..."

‫Who is this child?

‫Greetings to you great King.

‫Why do you disturb me?

‫I've got something very important ‫and secret to tell you.

‫- It's about Iorek Byrnison. ‫- Iorek?

‫Come closer.

‫Come.

‫Well?

‫I am his daemon.

‫But you're just a human.

‫Humans get animals, it makes sense ‫for bears get humans, doesn't it?

‫Bears, leave.

‫Iorek Byrnison was the first bear ‫to get a daemon,

‫but it should have been you.

‫I would have rather be your daemon.

‫How has a bear got a daemon? ‫And how are you far away from him?

‫I'm like a witch's daemon.

‫I can travel and we stay connected.

‫As for how he got me, ‫it was at Bolvangar.

‫Mrs. Coulter probably didn't tell you ‫everything they were doing there.

‫Child cutting.

‫And all kinds of other things too,

‫including making artificial daemons; ‫even for bears.

‫Daemons for bears?

‫Mrs. Coulter didn't get me a daemon! ‫I imprisoned Asriel for her!

‫I want to be with you.

‫That's why I'm here, to tell you there ‫is a way for me to be your daemon.

‫What way is that?

‫Iorek's coming for you now.

‫My bears will kill him before he even ‫gets close.

‫He thinks he can challenge you ‫for the throne.

‫But what he doesn't know is, ‫is if you were to beat him

‫in single combat,

‫his strength would flow into you ‫and we would be united as one.

‫Why should I believe?!

‫I can prove it. I can prove what I am.

‫Ask me something that only a daemon ‫would be able to find out.

‫If you're lying to me, ‫I will feed you to Iorek myself.

‫Tell me,

‫the first creature I killed.

‫I will have to go to a room by myself ‫to do this.

‫Whatever you have to do, ‫you can do it in here.

‫When I am your daemon I will show you ‫how I do it, until then...

‫I will die before I show my secrets.

‫Over there!

‫Where's Iorek now?

‫And how am I supposed to tell him ‫what I've done?

‫Trust him?

‫What was the first creature ‫Iofur killed?

‫Well?

‫I beg your pardon, Iofur Raknison.

‫I didn't know you were so...

‫great and powerful.

‫You're playing for time.

‫The first creature you killed ‫was your own father.

‫I think you're a new god.

‫Only a god would have the strength ‫and power to do such a thing.

‫Mrs. Coulter deceived me.

‫She deceived all of us. ‫Now do you see why you need me?

‫You're scared that the other bears ‫won't understand.

‫Tell them ‫you called Iorek here yourself.

‫Tell them the winner ‫will rule over the bears for ever.

‫Make it your idea, not his.

‫Make it my idea. Yes.

‫And the fools will believe me.

‫Great King,

‫now is time for me to leave you.

‫Leave me?

‫Iorek approaches, I can feel him.

‫He must not know what he's fighting for.

‫Or else it will make him too passionate ‫and he can't see that I'm loyal to you.

‫No. You must stay here with me, daemon.

‫If you make me, I will stay

‫but give me a chance to prove my love.

‫Very well.

‫Ready me for battle.

‫Charles Latrom.

‫I was back in Oxford again.

‫I thought we could have a chat, Elaine.

‫No, thank you.

‫Elaine,

‫I'm sure you've guessed already, ‫I wasn't in Oxford by chance.

‫I have urgent information ‫about your husband

‫and I can't say it to you on ‫your porch.

‫Where's your lounge?

‫What a pleasant room.

‫It's strange,

‫some houses you walk into and you know ‫they're not happy places.

‫Other houses, it could be a smell ‫or something indescribable,

‫but you know a happy family ‫lives inside.

‫You know nothing about this family!

‫I know you have a son...

‫Will.

‫Stay away from him.

‫I have no intention ‫of going anywhere near him.

‫I'm on your side, Elaine.

‫Who do you work for?

‫When I left the marines, I was offered ‫the opportunity to do some...

‫well, some intelligence work.

‫So MI5? MI6?

‫Maybe we don't need ‫to answer that question.

‫Tell me what you know about John.

‫We're concerned.

‫We believe that before he disappeared,

‫he was entangled ‫in something nasty.

‫- I'm sorry? ‫- We're investigating the disappearance,

‫thirteen years' ago, ‫of some rather valuable objects;

‫dangerous objects and your husband's ‫name keeps getting brought up.

‫What objects?

‫What if I told you there was ‫a possibility, albeit slight,

‫that we might, ‫with the right information,
