[THUNDERING EXPLOSION]
METATRON: In the beginning, man was given the gift
of Dust.
It ignited his mind, and freed his will.
But that free will has corrupted mankind.
Dust shall be drawn into eternal darkness once more.
That which was given...
shall be taken away.

It's her.
[PANTS]
ASRIEL: You're back.
That's good.
Come and have a look at this.
You'll recall the intercision field chamber
and the effect that it had on our friend,
the incarcerated angel, yes?
[CHUCKLES] Its ability to draw and trap Dust forever.
This abyss is much the same, only...
on a magnitude I never thought possible.
We are going to be able to use that.
She's dead, Asriel.
[SOMBER MUSIC PLAYING]
Lyra...
is dead.
Hmm.
Would you like me to tell you how your daughter died? Or...
would you prefer to keep tinkering with your toys?
If what you're saying is true, I am very sorry.
But what I am doing here is of the utmost importance.
It is going to change everything.
How, Asriel? How? How will this change anything?
- I can't hear it, not now. - You will hear this.
The Magisterium created a bomb to target our child
using her DNA. Last night, we attempted to disable it,
Lord Roke died trying.
[SIGHS]
You mustn't blame yourself, you clearly...
Oh, believe me I'm not blaming myself.
I know that technology,
I designed it.
I stopped it from detonating.
But a bolt of light
struck the intercision chamber and triggered the release.
Sending the bomb straight to Lyra.
Angelic light.
Metatron's answer...
to your war crime.
[ASRIEL SIGHS]
If you hadn't baited him,
Lyra would still be alive.
Do you understand?
You've taken my daughter from me.
And I will never forgive you.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING]
Lyra...
wake up.
Wake up!
Please, wake up.
[THUDS]

Dust.
We have to find a way to stop this.
To draw the Sraf back.
Before, the flow was steady and slow.
And now, it's like a flood.
Pouring out of this world...
into some kind of...
emptiness.
[OMINOUS MUSIC CONTINUES]
It was like the trees were straining against it.
Like they were trying to hold the tide back.
Without Sraf, none of us will survive.
I don't know how to help.
We need more time.

COMMANDER OGUNWE: Any news from Sergi?

Do you think it's those creatures that did it?
No, this is way more powerful. Like nothing I've ever seen.
WILL PARRY: Is it because we're here?
Do you think it was our fault?
[EXPLOSION]
We can't stay here. We need to keep moving.
We've got to get these people out of here.

It's not that far. We can jump it.
Do you think they can make it?
They can if they have to.
What do you think would happen if we fell?
No, stop.
[ROARING IN DISTANCE]
These people are following us 'cause
they think we know where we're going.
They think I can get us out of here, but what if I can't?
- Look at me. - What if we're trapped here
- because I can't use the knife? - Look at me, look at me,
look at me, look at me, look at me, look.
Hey, hey.
It's fine. We're gonna get out of here.
It's just... this chasm. I can feel it too. Look at me.
Watch.
[ENCHANTING MUSIC PLAYING]
[CHEERS, CHUCKLES]
- I'll go next. - No, I'll go.
- I can do it. - So can I.
You coming?
Will?
OGUNWE: Asriel!
Ogunwe, this is it.
This... abyss, it is an act of war.
Ruta's daemon, Sergi was pulled into this thing
because he was made of Dust. Well, so are angels.
OGUNWE: Listen...
you have asked us to have blind faith in you,
while rejecting all our beliefs.
And now Queen Ruta is dead as a result.
I can see past the loss, open your eyes.
This is not a setback, it is a bloody gift.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING]
SOLDIER 1: Hold, stay back! Stay back!
Get back!
OGUNWE: Who are you?
I am Serafina Pekkala, Queen of the Lake Enara Clan,
and I demand to know what happened to my sister.
Hold fire.
Queen Serafina Pekkala, welcome to the Republic.
Please let it be known that Ruta Skadi was an ally
and a valuable asset in our rebellion.
I heard her call for her death.
She felt a presence of a great darkness.
And then, she was gone. I'm sorry.
But I...
But I sense her here still.
It pains me to tell you both, that what happened to Ruta
was not death. But worse again.
That abyss out there is a rupture in the multiverse,
sucking all Dust deep down inside the void
between the worlds.
I bore witness to her daemon Sergi, falling inside.
And it is my belief that no being, flesh or Dust,
will ever emerge from its darkness.
So there will be no peace for her?
Part of her soul, forever falling.
Forever in limbo.
I saw the chasm as I was flying over here.
It tore through every world I crossed.
[TENSE MUSIC PLAYING]
You did this.
- No. No, no, no, no, no. - Your arrogance,
playing with forces you have no concept of!
OGUNWE: Weapons down!
I am at your mercy,
do with me as you will. But let it be known,
that the loss of Queen Ruta Skadi
is as keenly felt by myself as it is by you.
We believe it is Metatron's doing.
His answer to our provocation.
ASRIEL: We have his attention now.
He will be coming for me.
If revenge is what you truly want for your sister,
Queen, then by my side...
is the only place you will find it.
[MUSIC STOPS]
[FAINT SCREECHING IN DISTANCE]
[SCREECHES ECHOING IN DISTANCE]
LEE: Mangy vermin.
LYRA: We've seen worse.
Do you remember when we freed the kids from Bolvanga?
And then, the three of us and Iorek squashed
into Lee's balloon and just, flew away.
- Iorek's this armored bear. - I know who he is, I've met him.
Can't imagine him in a balloon though.
It wasn't just any balloon.
It was a real beauty.
She was.
Roger, you were permanently terrified of flying.
ROGER: I was not.
Only when those cliff ghasts attacked.
It was the middle of the night, Roger and I were fast asleep.
No, I was keeping watch actually.
And then, suddenly out of nowhere,
these creatures were just all over us.
Lee's shooting them, Iorek's roaring.
- LEE: Then you fell out. - [LYRA CHUCKLES]
LEE: Hey, did I ever tell you about the crazy shaman
who made me a bacon sandwich?
[MUSIC FADES]
Commander Ogunwe, where is the, um...
Intention Craft?
I'm ready to leave.
I'm afraid I can't let you leave again
without Council approval.
COULTER: Oh, come on. Let's not pretend.
The only vote that counts around here is Asriel's.
And he acts purely in his own interest.
You should do the same.
Well, I'm not like the two of you.
I'm here for something other than my own interests.
What's happened?
Lyra's dead.
I'm so sorry.
Asriel didn't tell me.
So, are you going to give me that vehicle or not?
Asriel took it and flew North. I'm sorry.
Come.
Come!
[FOREBODING MUSIC PLAYING]
Where are you...
[HARPIES SCREECHING]
[SCREECHING IN DISTANCE]
LYRA: You looking for your father?
What chance do we have?
We found them.
And we thought it was impossible.
I just want to be sure he'll find his way out.
Before we go to Asriel.
We could send a message back maybe, spread the word.
- What's his name? - John Parry.
John Parry?
John Parry.
Jopari.
The man of many names. He told me about you.
You're the shaman's son.
You know him?
Yeah, I know him. [CHUCKLES]
He's a hard man to find. I got leeches on my ass trying.
- But it was worth it, though. - [CHUCKLES]
Lucky for you, we might have a way to summon him.
No promises, but it's worth a try.
You go ahead, I'll catch up.
[HOPEFUL MUSIC PLAYING]
[MUSIC TURNS OMINOUS]
Are you sure about this?
He'll listen to reason.
- [GROWLS SOFTLY] - King Iorek...
- [GROWLS] - [GRUNTS]
I am unarmed.
Killing me will provide poor sport.
I'm greatly saddened to see the damage my work
has done to your lands.
My bears starve, because you blew a hole
- in the sky. - King Iorek, there is worse
to come, if my war is not won.
Give me one reason why I shouldn't kill you!
Lyra Silvertongue!
Why do you speak to me of her?
You renamed her.
You loved her.
[GRUNTS]
Tell me of her.
She is everything you are not. [GROWLS]
Perhaps I should have known her better.
[IOREK BYRNISON HUFFS]
ASRIEL: But she is gone.
And if you kill me now, she will never be avenged.
[IOREK GRUNTS]
You do not understand,
Lyra went to the Land of the Dead.
- The land of the... - IOREK: Yes.
But she walked in alive.
How did she enter that place?
IOREK: The knife.
The knife is broken.
IOREK: I fixed it.
She went after her friend, Roger.
The kitchen boy.
Another reason why I should kill you!
- ASRIEL: Wait, wait, wait. - [GROWLS]
If when we die, we are judged by the Authority
and sent to either heaven or hell, then in which is Lyra?
IOREK: Neither.
It is a soulless place. Where the dead go...
but can never escape.
Everlasting prison.
[CHUCKLES]
Why then...
my daughter is staging a prison break.

[SHRIEKING]
[MUSIC TURNS DRAMATIC]
[MUSIC FADES]
Ogunwe told me about Lyra.
I'm so sorry.
I tortured one of your witches once.
I know who you are.
I mutilated her.
Pulled out her cloud-pine.
You know, she suffered terribly.
She screamed out.
She begged for her death.
I see what you're trying to make me do.
Come on.
Do it.
You know you want to.
Do it for her.
- Do it for your sister. - Do not speak of my sister.
COULTER: What's wrong?
What are you scared of? Hm?
The other witch would have done it.
- She wouldn't have hesitated. - I am not Ruta.
And I will not do this.
Then if you won't do it out of anger...
[SOMBER MUSIC PLAYING]
Then please just do it out of mercy.
My heart is heavy too.
I don't understand it.
It makes no sense.
Love...
makes us fragile in ways we cannot fathom.
I didn't love Lyra.
I wasn't able to.
Incapable of it. You know, too warped.
Even my own daemon...
rejects me.
SERAFINA: The way you feel right now is proof
you did love her.
I understand more than you know.
I lost... my boy.
A long time ago.
Lyra gave me hope again.
She would change the world.
Defeat death.
Become Eve.
And now it won't happen.
You know, when I first heard that prophecy, it terrified me.
Why?
Because I was always taught to believe that Eve...
was guilty of something shameful.
The Magesterium teach the Fall as the birth of sin
because they fear the unknown.
All Eve did was dare to experience.
It's an act of bravery.
Of great beauty.
You were a monster.
But look what experience did to you.
What love did.
It changed you.
[MUSIC FADES]
[PANTS]
- Lyra, you okay? - Yeah.
I thought you were gone.
Me too.
[HARPY GROWLING]
It saved you.
[GROWLING]
Excuse me.
I'd like to give you something to thank you.
What?
A name.
HARPY: Names can't just be given.
Mine was.
By a friend.
[HARPY GROWLS]
Gracious Wings.
[SCREECHES]
If you like it.
You can't take it back now.
- Could you tell us, please... - [GROWLS]
Gracious Wings...
are we going the right way?
We need to reach the highest point.
That way.
Thank you.
You cannot tell the story of my name
if you do not get out.
You like stories, don't you?
- True ones. - [GROWLS]
True stories are nourishing.
They feed us.
We had no idea there was anything but lies
and wickedness.
If those who follow behind tell you everything they saw,
in the world, everything true,
could you guide them here? So they could be set free.
[GROWLS]
Do not lie to me.
LYRA: I won't.
Do we have a deal?
The prisoners' safe passage, in exchange for their stories.
[GROWLS]
Liars cannot pass!
LYRA: It's all right, they're going to help us.
Just tell them your stories.
Stories from your lives.
And they'll guide you up.
Tell them stories.
[GHOSTS WHISPERING] Tell them stories...
HARPY: This way!
That was genius.
ASRIEL: Marisa.
Lyra's alive.
She entered the Land of the Dead of her own free will,
- to rescue the kitchen boy. - COULTER: Don't do this.
This is your guilt talking.
It's some kind of prison, purgatory.
They cut their way in using the knife.
But I saw the knife break.
ASRIEL: It was mended by Iorek Byrnison.
He told me so himself. It makes sense.
The Authority cows us with the threat of heaven or hell,
but even that was a lie.
It's all purgatory.
I'm not interested in your theories.
What proof do you have?
You know as well as I do that the panserbjørne cannot lie.
Marisa, she's alive.
Don't lie to me.
[MELANCHOLIC MUSIC PLAYING]
- Don't. - [CHUCKLES] She's alive.
And she's coming here when she frees her friend Roger.
Please... my heart won't take it.
You said yourself, she's extraordinary.
To free a soul from the Land of the Dead.
[CHUCKLES]
The witch's prophecy.
They believe two things about Lyra.
That she is Eve... and that she will defeat death.
[CHUCKLES]
That's what she's doing.
[CHUCKLES]
The prophecy is right. [SIGHS]
We must help her, Asriel.
[ETHEREAL MUSIC PLAYING]
[LEE WHISTLING]
William, we've been waiting for you.
Someone who wants to see you.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]
[MUSIC STOPS]
[SOFT MUSIC PLAYING]
William.
I haven't done what you said.
I haven't taken the knife to Asriel.
You know, you said I was a warrior.
That I can't fight my nature.
I think you were wrong.
I hate fighting.
I'm not who you want me to be.
No.
No, you're so much more.
He'll be okay.
He's lucky to have you worrying about him.
I don't know about that.
Look at how you tamed that thing back there.
You've always been so...
brave.
Reckless, more like.
It was the stories that tamed her.
Our stories.
We have a lot of memories.
We do.
All this time...
I thought that...
when we eventually found each other,
we could go back to Oxford together.
I did too.
What do you think's going to happen
if we make it out?
I don't know.
But we'll get out of this awful place.
We won't be going the same way.
I always thought you were brave.
- Much braver than me. - [CHUCKLES]
JOPARI: Do you have any idea what a remarkable thing you did
coming here?
It wasn't just me.
It was Lyra's idea.
Yes, the girl.
Eve.
I know about her.
The two of you will set us free.
I don't even know if I can do anything.
You know, I'm just... I'm so tired and my chest is...
Because you're away from your daemon.
Separation across worlds weakens your bond, Will.
She's pining for you.
How do you know?
I guided her to Asriel's republic.
As soon as you release these ghosts,
you must cut through and find her, Will.
She's vulnerable.
- Promise me. - I will.
I will, I swear.
Good.
Will, I want you to listen to me.
Don't try to live in a world that's not your own.
No matter how tempting it may seem.
You and your daemon...
you won't survive it.
But you did.
No. I felt it, like an ache, every day.
Don't make the same mistake that I did.
You deserve a full life.
With your mother.
What'll happen to you?
The same as will happen to every soul trapped down here.
I'll be free.
I'll be connected again to every living thing.
Thanks to you.
I can't say goodbye to you again.
Well then, don't say goodbye.
I'm so proud of you, William.
[TENDER MUSIC PLAYING]
Go.
[FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING]
You all right?
Yeah.
I'm okay.
We need to keep going.
No daemon can enter the Land of the Dead.
If Lyra is there,
then Pantalaimon will be in the upper worlds.
Lyra and Pan are separated?
But that means they're vulnerable.
They must be reunited.
I'll send a regiment to look for them right away.
No, it'll draw too much attention.
Let me send Kaisa.
Will you tell me the moment you have news?
If it is true,
and Lyra is going to free the dead,
she and Will would have achieved something remarkable.
Far beyond your rebellion.
[UPLIFTING MUSIC PLAYING]
Lyra is your focus now.
Do not fail her.
[MUSIC FADES]
[GENTLE MUSIC PLAYING]
We can't go any further.
This is it.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING]
[GRUNTS] Come on.
[GASPS]
Well, I'll be damned.
It's paradise.
What's gonna happen if we step through there?
My dad said you'll be free.
You'll drift apart, but you'll be out in the open.
Connected with everything that's alive.
I'll go first.
I'm gonna miss you so much.
You'll be okay.
I know you will.
You saved your best friend.
When you go back to Jordan...
go to the roof for me.
- Okay. - Yeah.
I'm ready.
[TENDER MUSIC PLAYING]
Every part of me is aching
to be part of the universe again.
Hey.
No need for that.
It's okay.
Thank you.
Sir.
You two take good care of each other.
I'm going to be with my Hester.
[TENDER MUSIC CONTINUES]
[GHOSTS WHISPERING]

GHOST: If you tell them stories...
[GHOSTS WHISPERING]
[MUSIC FADES]
Lyra is alive.
May I sit?
It hurts when we're apart.
I pretend that it doesn't.
That first time I sent you away...
it was awful.
I don't know why I do it.
At first, I think it was curiosity.
But now it's become something else.
A way to not feel what I can't bear.
[CHUCKLES]
I used to think that I was the strong one.
But I was wrong.
It was you...
all along.
I am so very sorry.
Please...
come back to me.
[SOFT MUSIC PLAYING]
XAPHANIA: It is time.
The first prophecy has been fulfilled.
[TENSE MUSIC PLAYING]
XAPHANIA: The girl and the boy have succeeded in their quest.
Asriel...
do you hear that?
It's Xaphania.
Will and Lyra have released the dead
from their prison.
All of them?
Metatron's purgatory is broken.
His control is weakened.
So he will come at you with everything he has.
The final rebellion...
has begun.
