02x15 - No Rest for the Wicked

[bunniefuu]

Previously with Theodosia.

Something is wrong with the weather.

She does something else bad
with her magic.

Theo knows what she's doing.
Are you sure?

You still have a lot to learn.

We are the sisterhood
of the chosen guardians.

We also train
Anch magicians like you.

You can't beat me,

you will not win the great battle
that lies ahead of you.

* Tense music *

* She shudders. *
Oh!

Dad! Sorry!

I did a bit of dusting.

In the middle of the night?
Everything all right?

Yes, I can't fall asleep.

So I thought,
I'd make myself useful.

And ... a test is coming soon
a test coming up.

If that is the case, I suggest,

you take a glass of warm milk
and go back to bed.

Easy to say, I know, but
don't go crazy about it.

You pass the test
with flying colors, darling.

Of course.

If only it were so.

* Mysterious music *

Good morning, sunshine!

Then ... show me,
what you can do.

I'm ready.

* Exciting music *

* Tinkling, dreamy music *

Theodosia

* Adventurous music *

Henry

Will

* Powerful music *

* The music fades slowly. *

* Spherical music *

* Crash, music fades. *

That was really ... enchanting.

* Tense music *

Excuse me.
My new magic is real...

Powerful?

Yes, I know.

Far superior to anything you could do before,
far superior.

But worth nothing if you
not under control.

I have them under control!

All right.

Show me.

Lift that!

Heka. The god of magic.

[ironically] How subtle.

* Swoosh *

* Swoosh *

* Tense music *

What's wrong with it?

Perhaps he is not the problem.

You only control your magic
if you also control your feelings...

I have them under control!

* Swooshing is stalled. *

* Tense music *

* Exciting music *

* Groan *

* Casual music *

Henry.

You have to see this.

"Doctor Miracle's water
against hair loss".

Also used by the nobility.

But not the ad!
I mean the article.

"Lightning ends London auction."

I see. And?

It says: "They came out of nowhere
and were completely silent."

Does that sound like
sounds like normal weather to you?

According to the barometer
everything is back to normal.

"Witnesses report that it was,

as if the lightning had come from the building
had come from the building itself."

Thunderstorm - indoors, without thunder,
in the sunshine?

We have to look into this.

There's just one small problem.
And that would be?

* Bell ringing *

The little thing called school.

* Relaxed music *

Yes.

* Swoosh *

Do you want
some friendly advice?

Can I also say no?
No.

* Sigh *

A clear head and clear thinking

are sometimes more powerful
than any magic.

Are you trying to make it exciting?
Did it work?

Do I seem wise and mysterious?

Lesson one: Not everything is
what it seems to be.

Look closely.

So you just wanted to see
how I fall into the trap.

And you ask yourself,
if I liked it?

Yes.

Is it still possible
lift the statue? Also yes.

But with a
non-manifested heka

only a true
anch magician, with a lot of training.

* Tense music *

* Groan *

Ouch!

I just can't do it.
I can't do it.

Hey.

Clear thinking - already forgotten?

Doubt can be as dangerous
as overconfidence.

The world out there
is pretty loud.

Decide wisely,
which voices you listen to.

And one more thing.

School starts.

* Cheeky music *

Oh.

Oh, Will...

Josie's show was spectacular!

People were holding their breath.

Yes, she was really impressive.

I mean, you must have
really come up with something,

to beat that.

It's not a competition, is it?

Something powerful!
Something fresh, something completely new!

* He laughs. *

How can I do that if I'm
stuck at the popcorn machine?

* Cheeky music *

Light passes through the lens,

it moves at a different speed
speed than in the air.

And the beams
are bundled in one point.

Miss Throckmorton!

Am I tiring you out?

Uh... no.

If you are so tired, I would like to
bring you a silk pillow,

so that your special little head
comfortable!

You know what?

You are nothing special.
And it's not just about you!

Exactly. What are you going to do except
putting your family in danger?

And your friends.

In contrast, with a prism
the rays are deflected so that they...

Theo!

Everything all right?

Yes, excellent.

Beautiful.

Let us now turn
to the dispersion of light.

* Mysterious music *

* Silence, quiet voices *

Hello, Josie.

Thank you for standing in
for standing in for me yesterday.

Josie!

Your performance yesterday was fabulous!

I can't get over it.
Absolute madness!

Very sweet, but ...
I wasn't at my best.

If that's the case, I'm really excited,
what you'll show us next.

[I'm looking forward to it,
what Will will show us tomorrow.

I bet you have something bombastic
new thing in your repertoire.

Yes, my turn.

Great.

Good. I just wanted to
pick up a few props.

Not that you're still
my things.

And revealed my secret tricks.

* Laughter *

It was great to see you.

I need something better.
Something spectacular.

Not that spectacular either.
But it must have some oomph.

Uh... Will?

I ... must have
pressed the wrong button.

Help!

* Cheeky music, laughter *

Then the show
will have to wait again.

* Spherical sounds *

Come on. Wake up, Theo!
It's just a book.

* Tense music *

I give up.

* Yawn *

I have to close my eyes for a moment.

Just very briefly.

* Tense music *

* Music fades away. *

Oh no!

Have I been asleep that long?

I'm really hungry.

[[echoing] Theo!]

* Disturbing music *

[[mockingly] You will never
an anch magician].

Who is that?

What do you want?

Theo?

I didn't mean to scare you,
I'm sorry.

I was still working.
What are you doing?

Nothing. I just wanted something to eat.

If there's anything, you know,
we can talk about anything.

Um...

It's ... just the school.

Oh.

The test I was talking about
I was talking about this morning.

Hmm?

This is not a difficult topic
for me, normally.

But now
the advanced course begins,

and it's not so easy anymore.

Ah, yes...

Yes...

It's not about art, is it?
I'm good at drawing stick figures.

* He laughs. *

That's all right.

Sorry!

If I can help you in any way...

No. But thanks, Dad.

I will simply learn more.

Yes, good.

You'll manage.

You're my smart one,

who gets it right,
what she sets her mind to.

You just want some of this,
don't you?

No, no, really not.

But since you ask...
Thank you, my darling!

[He is mistaken.]

[You never get anything done.]

* Disturbing music *

* Music fades away. *

[The gentlemen.

Welcome.

Oh. Your invitation?

What?

We come from the weather service.

We investigate
the thunder and lightning events.

No access without an invitation.

Well ... what the heck?

It doesn't show
unusual weather anyway.

So easily
I don't admit defeat that easily.

I have a plan.

* Lively music *

Come on!

Go ahead!

* Lively piano music *

Well?
[sighing] Well.

What's going on?

Milkshake?

That's exactly why
I am with you.

So ... do you want to talk about it?

It's just the stupid
Anch mage thing.

I thought that if I
drink the water from the oasis,

then everything will fall into place, but ...

I don't think
I'm not cut out for this.

My problems, on the other hand, are
probably a joke.

What do you think?

Well, what can I complain about,
if you can do real magic

and the world of mortals
must save?

Believe me,
I have mastered absolutely nothing.

But your problems
are just as important.

Come on, now tell us!

I've been trying for two days
to get the popcorn machine working properly

and I have a gig coming up,
for which I haven't rehearsed yet.

You've done the tricks
many times before.

You're good.
No, I need something new.

Josie is coming too.

Ah.

How are things going between you now?

After all that ... you know.

Quite ... good, I think.

The thing with the Ka-door
seems to have been ignored,

and now she's doing her thing.

I would love that too.

I just would never have believed
that it would be this good.

I don't know if I can keep up with that
whether I'm good enough.

[Maybe you are both
not good enough].

Sorry, I ... thought
I had heard something.

That's all right.

Sorry, Will, I think I need to
need to go home and get some rest.

* Soft music *

And good luck for the show!

* Soft music *

* Dynamic music *

RARITIES AND ANTIQUES

[Mr. and Mrs. Preston.

Yes ... that's us.

Excuse me! Newly married.
We still have to get used to it.

Welcome to our website!
- Thank you!

He really let us through
really let us through!

I was already seven years old
with the printing press.

[[spherical] Give up!]

Who are you?

* Disturbing music *

Come out!

[You will never
a real anch magician].

[You are too weak, too...]

* Scary sound *

Oh! Careful, darling.

Damage caused by daydreaming teenagers
is not covered by the insurance.

Sorry.

Hey, what's wrong?

Nothing ... nothing at all.
It's just the school...

[spherical] Liar!

You are lying!

Just like your magical powers
and about everything else!

I'm sorry!
So what if I am?

School or magic -
you will fail.

Just like the task,
to protect your Granny!

Sorry!
That's not what I wanted.

I love Granny.

[Theo.

Sweetheart, what ...
what's going on?

I'm ... sorry.

Please. Theo!

* Quiet babble of voices *

The thing doesn't even show
the hint of a thunderstorm.

Not even drizzle.

* Coughing *

Sorry, I'm just looking for
the best place here for my wife.

We are newlyweds.

Yes, that's right.
Newlyweds, that's us.

I love you, sweetie.

Me too, my bear.

* Cheeky music *

* He clears his throat. *

Oh, darling, it's perfect here.

* Cheering, tense music *

And now to finish:

a brand new,
trick never shown before!

* Cheers *

* Cheeky music *

Mmh, it's delicious!

But something is still missing.

What if I put them
put them in a pan again?

* Astonished sounds from the audience *

He has laid an egg.

* Laughter, hen sounds *

Uh, that's it, ladies and gentlemen.

Have a nice day, and
use our popcorn machine!

* Laughter *

* She moans. *

* Quiet whimpering *

[Oh, right,
now you're lying there crying].

[You're not good for anything else
you're not good for].

* Disturbing music *

[You've wasted all your magic
wasted.]

[Wanted to be something,
that you are not.]

[What are you
without your spells?]

[Weak.]

[Selfish.]

[And stupid.]

[You're no good. Nothing at all!]

[You will never
be an anch magician].

[Never.]

* Spherical sounds *

* Tense music,
anxious sounds *

And now, ladies and gentlemen,

we come to this unique
butterfly collection

of the late Sir Reginald Moody.

We start with ten guineas.

Ten. 20? 20.





Very generous, sir. 50!

There's something wrong
with the air pressure in this room.











[quietly] Snuggle bear,
why are they all staring at us?

And 100 guineas! Bravo, sir.

Anyone offering more?

Then it's 100 guineas,
to the first, to the second...

[quietly] Please, please, please!


from that gentleman over there.

Anyone bid 120?


Nobody?

* Tense music *

That actually went
excellent.

More likely catastrophic.

It must be difficult
to prepare for the shows,

when you have so much to do on the side.

Oh, what. That's ... my job.

She's right, Will.

I have bothered you
bothered you with repairs,

instead of letting you
rehearsing properly.

Maybe take a break first
break and take some time to practise.

But...
Josie, you can
step in, right?

Yes, with pleasure.

I mean, only if you
agree to it.

I don't want to take your job here
away from you.

No ... Of course not.

It is a magical honor for me.

* Muted laughter *

Then we make appointments?

[Yes.

And I would like a milkshake
on the house before every gig.

[Who are you
without your magic?]

[A nobody.]

[To your family you bring
nothing but suffering and...]

Theo?

Theo, is everything all right?

[whimpering softly] Dad. Dad, help me!

[No one can hear you.]

You don't exist.
I'm just imagining it.

[You will never succeed.]

You are not real.
You are only in my thoughts.

[You are nobody.]

Let us now come
to this beautiful piece.

It is a
black opal from ancient Egypt,

of an early dynasty...

It goes crazy because of the opal.

The hieroglyphs
still need to be translated,

but it is said that they tell
the legend of an ancient curse,

which lies on the opal.

And of lightning that strikes those
who play tricks with him.

If we look back at the last auction
there is probably some truth to it.

Shall we begin?
Who offers 100 guineas?



Anyone bid 150?







What are you doing?
Keeping up appearances.

Yes, but what if...






Anyone 350?







Something is happening here.



* Dramatic music *

* Lightning noises, thunder,
frightening sounds *

Theo, I don't know what's wrong with you
is going on and ... whether you can hear me,

but I know you think I'm
you think I'm overprotective.

And maybe you're angry
about this magic ban rule.

Nevertheless, I hope you know that
you are more than just magic.

Much, much more!

You can do so many things,
anything you set your mind to.

[No! No, don't listen to him!]

You listen to me now.

You are just an illusion.

You only exist
in my thoughts.

[Listen to your doubts,
your fears.]

My magic makes me believe
you are real.

But you are not.

And if I have created you,
I can also get rid of you.

[This is not true.]

[No, you can't.
I am a part of you!]

No, I have to believe in myself,
just like Dad.

I love you.
And ... I'm not leaving here.

I believe in you, Theo.

* Moving music *

Dad?

Honey!

It's all good, darling.

* Kiss *
All is well.

Everything is fine.

* Disturbed sounds *

Wait!

The opal!

It has been stolen!

* Horrified sounds,
tense music *

Ladies and gentlemen, keep calm
calm and stay seated!

Opal was the one with the weather.

* Dramatic music *

* Music fades, church bells. *

* Harmonious music *

Oh, you look rested.

I am too.

Shall we get started?

Ah, you're taking your time today.

Let's say,
I ... think a little more clearly.

* Breathe deeply *

* Spherical sounds *

* Strumming *

* Soft music *

* Quiet laughter *

* Quiet music *

* Restless music *

* Ominous music *

* Powerful sounds *

* Suspenseful music *

* Bubbling *

* Suspenseful music *
