Abnormals are showing rapid onset of clinical paranoia
and extreme aggression.'
'Pitting humans against abnormals, deciding who lives or dies.'
The Cabal must be stopped. It's why I started this mission a century ago.
Dr Watson? Not as in James Watson, who's a member of The Five?
Why you here, Druitt? To save the world
and, time-allowing, to reassert my superiority.
'Nigel Griffin is dead but his powers passed on to his granddaughter, Clara.
We only have days to stop the destruction of every abnormal on earth.
The Source blood could stop the disease in the form of a synthesized antitoxin.'
Where did Gregory hide the vial? At Bhalasaam in the Himalayas.
He made sure that only we five acting in concert can retrieve it.
Which is a problem if, in fact, I have killed Tesla.
Nikola? Oh!
It's all been destroyed. There has to be a way into the labyrinth.
Your mother and her colleagues will try to stop us.
I promise you they'll fail.
They'll fail because you're going to help us complete our plan.
Where's Henry?
Not far.
If you hurt him, I swear... Oh, we will hurt him.
In fact, the quality and quantity of the remains of his life depends on you.
Just let Henry live. You think we're killers, murderers?
That bio weapon you set off? Not exactly charity work.
In fact that's exactly what it is.
A helping hand to the humans,
so that they can see the threat to the survival of our species.
You're starting a war. We're controlling our destiny.
Most of the abnormals are peaceful.
Every Abnormal is a threat, Ashley, despite your mother's propaganda.
How many so-called peaceful abnormals have you destroyed?
You know, I like your mother.
There was a time I even admired her.
But we're fighting for humanity's survival
and she's chosen the wrong side.
Are you ready to choose yours?
Where's the amazing lost city?
The temples, the archives?
A decent rest room?
It's gone, destroyed long ago.
By the age of this vegetation, I'd say, 50, 60 years?
100 years, if the growth pattern of this Hedera is any indication.
Destroyed how? It looks like it's been bombed.
It couldn't have been from the air, though.
There were no planes that could carry that ordnance 100 years ago.
Four days of bombardment, hundreds of men, and heavy weaponry.
Cannon placements there and there, long and short range.
Likely a combined effort with Russian, French and Spanish forces.
I thought by then all the vampires were wiped out.
They retreated here to preserve what was left of their culture.
They had been culled almost to extinction.
They weren't a threat to anyone. This was a slaughter.
Gregory's instructions mentioned a hall of records.
They also mentioned a city, fully intact.
For all we know, the caverns below have been destroyed as well.
So are you suggesting we give up?
Don't bait me, I'm not in the mood.
Perhaps if we were looking for some nubile lady of the night
for you to slaughter,
you'd perk up and become incredibly helpful.
Gentlemen, enough.
Let's work on this problem, not on a test of my loyalty.
Just checking.
Ah!
(GRUNTS WIH PAIN)
What do you want from me?
Talk to me!
How long have you known of your condition?
It's not a condition.
Do you know the region where you were found?
What kind of treatments has Dr Magnus prescribed? Can you elaborate on their effectiveness?
Length of transformative episodes? What are you doing?
What are you doing? What are you doing? Don't! Aarrgh!
Sh, sh. We simply want to help you get better.
I'm not sick. This is not a condition.
You are a class 9, hyper-accelerated protean life form.
Fairly rare.
As is the control you seem to possess
over mutative stress triggers.
Please, you do not want to make that happen.
(CHUCKLES) On the contrary. We very much do,
although I can understand why you would resist.
(GROANS) I am not ashamed of who I am.
I certainly hope not because we intend to bring out your alter ego permanently.
The knowledge will be invaluable.
You kind have been hiding in the shadows for far too long, Mr Foss.
We're going to bring you out into the light.
Anything? Nothing for miles.
No other entrances to the mountain.
It'll be dark soon. We should head back and start fresh tomorrow.
No, no, no, you go. Yeah, I'm staying too.
Something has to set a sense of... Scale.
Yeah, exactly.
There. What?
Well, I know it's from a distance
but the location of this central ziggurat should be that area there.
Assuming the city was built around it, absolutely.
So the hall of records is located...
27m southeast of our current position.
This is the main thoroughfare, the central meeting hall,
that's the wall defences and the hall of records.
Ach! It took me a while to locate the right markers.
Wow, you totally got that. You saw everything.
Very clearly, very clearly.
Well, then. Let's go at it.
Time. You factored in time,
shifting architectural patterns as the city grew.
Time is a constant, Will.
All visual clues have to be measured against multiple parameters,
time often being the most telling.
Like another dimension.
Yeah, it's just one of many
and once you understand the way they interact, very few mysteries will confound you.
Man, that is killer stuff. Yes, I've always thought so.
Are you certain? Yeah.
Should be the main foyer for the hall for records.
My father's instructions mentioned a passageway
leading to subterranean caverns.
We have no idea what the original interior of this building looked like,
let alone where an access point may be.
Well done.
I'm seriously geeking out right now.
As am I.
Why would the vampires build a cavern beneath a hidden city?
Seems kind of redundant, don't you think?
What, even though they were the rulers, the overlords?
They advanced civilization by centuries.
Their knowledge, their technology,
was far more advanced than anyone could've imagined back then.
So they kept their secrets well hidden.
Well, they knew the world would turn against them.
(COUGHS) They would have calculated for the possibility
that Bhalasaam might one day be found and pillaged.
Lest their wealth of knowledge fall into the wrong hands.
Miss me?
John! Oh, I know he's difficult to kill
but I'm sure there are ways.
Is that before or after you retrieve the blood?
Because, frankly, good luck with that if I'm dead.
You know, you can't do it without me.
Nice move last time we met, Johnny.
(NECK CLICKS) Mm. Took me a while to get over it.
Not long enough, old boy. Care for another helping?
What are you doing here, Nikola? (SIGHS)
Isn't it obvious?
The Cabal want to turn the world into a war zone, only the ancient blood can stop it.
I do keep abreast of current events.
You didn't answer our communiques. My dear James, you're looking older.
Feeling your age? Ever the gentleman, I see.
And what have we here?
One of you must be a blood relative of Nigel Griffin or you wouldn't be here.
I hope you're up to the task.
Damn straight I am, skinny. You, I like.
You, I don't know. I'm Dr Zimmerman.
I work with Dr Magnus.
A protege. Well, the mission's necessary disposable item.
Stop this, Nikola. You know what we're facing, why not make contact?
Firstly, I prefer to work alone. Secondly, I don't trust any of you any more than you trust me.
So I skipped the orientation. How did you get down here?
There's another entrance. You just have to know where to look.
Now, follow me.
Ah! Magnificent, isn't it?
All that remains of my ancestors, their work.
10,000 years of knowledge and power
hidden from the world.
You've been coming here for decades, haven't you?
This is where you got the idea to revive vampires as a race.
Your father, he did his job well.
Despite my best efforts, we can only retrieve the blood as one.
None of us can do it alone.
Tell me, Nikola, if we do succeed, will you allow us to take it away?
We know you have wonderful designs for it,
an army of new-born vampires being just the start.
I may want to see my ancestors reborn
but that can't happen if the abnormals become a threat to humans.
None of us could withstand the chaos that that would bring.
OK?
But tell me, John,
are the rest of us to trust you once all is said and done?
You who once put your own daughter in harm's way
for just a drop of Helen's blood.
Oh, yes.
Having that vial all to yourself would solve your health problems,
wouldn't it?
Gentlemen, we are here for a reason.
Nikola, lives are at stake.
This way.
John.
Thank you.
What the hell was that all about?
Well, the guy who invented radio just dissed Jack the Ripper.
What are you doing, Dana? You haven't asked me one question yet.
We have a lot more to discuss, so, please.
If I wanted you dead there'd be more effective ways than a poisoned drink.
I want to see Henry.
Now.
I assure you he's fine.
Satisfied?
Thank you. I'd like to keep you alert and co-operative.
Well, one out of two ain't bad.
If you put a truth serum in this, I will do a tap routine on this floor
rather than tell you anything.
I'm a terrible poker player. I never bluff.
As for what we want, information's not the only thing.
Not when you have so much more to offer us.
It won't work.
You've been off your medication for almost a day.
The safeguards have left your system.
The pain will end when you stop resisting the change to your natural state.
No. If I change you'll kill me.
True. But we'll have learned so much in the process.
Henry, this will be a noble end for you.
Think of it as an organ donation after your death.
What we learn from your alter ego may eventually save lives.
Another 10cc.
No, no, don't.
No!
This place goes on forever.
It's a labyrinth.
It's designed to keep valuable secrets from those who would steal them.
Was that aimed at me? Yes.
Some sort of a numeric code?
My mother's birthday.
My father's favourite password.
It's his handwriting.
Latin? His favourite language.
And a caveat addressed to all five of us.
The blood should only be sought by all of us or not at all.
And only for altruistic reasons.
Saving civilization from chaos and war seems worthy
but he's your father.
It's a map of the labyrinth.
Look, there's five notations here. Five tests.
Each has one of our names beside it. What kind of tests?
They designed specifically for each of our gifts,
impenetrable to anyone else.
My father knew that to prevent anyone from accessing the blood alone,
he had to use the vampires' technology to safeguard their secrets.
And it defeated even you. I know. Nervous yet?
At the end of each test there's a key. Once we have the five keys...
We can access the vial. My father loved the metaphor of keys unlocking secrets.
We can assume none of these tasks will be simple and easy.
Knowing my father, absolutely.
May I? Oh, yes.
Will, take Clara to Griffin's test, that's here.
Watson, yours and John's markers are close together. Work as a team. We'll meet back here with our keys.
So yours and Nikola's tests are in the same area?
I guess your father liked us best as a couple.
Helen, if you... I'll be fine.
Such chivalry.
If any harm comes to her, accidental or otherwise...
I have no reason to do her any harm
but you, I'm finding more reasons by the minute.
Honestly! I'm surrounded by adolescents.
Let's go.
It seems we go down this way.
This room was marked Griffin.
It doesn't seem so bad.
Whoa!
OK, this is bad.
Now, I believe this is our stop.
Two Latin inscriptions, almost identical in meaning.
Almost.
True lies. Lies truth.
A slightly different turn of phrase.
Both doors have apparently no means of opening them
and yet behind each of these doors lies our keys.
Logically. Logically.
Our names were set for these doors, which implies that Gregory intended for us to work together.
Mm. So we cannot retrieve one without the other.
Hmm.
Putting the analytical genius and the cold-blooded killer in the same place.
There must be a reason beyond cruel irony.
When he designed this he knew us as friends, James, not as enemies.
It was before I... Yes, yes.
Doors that won't open.
Yet their shape suggests something exists beyond.
A chamber, perhaps.
Which I alone could access. But which door do we believe?
Mm?
Perhaps both. Neither.
I don't know but I'm convinced of one thing.
If we choose wrongly and you teleport behind the wrong door,
I'm sure you will find solid rock.
Well, then.
You'd best choose carefully...
old friend.
This is insane. No, no, it makes sense.
When light reflects off anything, we lose ground.
Yeah, literally. OK.
So all you have to do is make it from here to there without casting a shadow and get the key.
You can do this.
No, I can't.
This is adrenaline triggering anxiety in your brain.
Forget about everything else except for the goal.
Yeah? How?
How did you focus when you used to steal?
I'd, er, picture the store clerk naked. It helped me not feel so...
Vulnerable. Perfect.
So just picture me naked.
It's not working. You've done this a thousand times.
We're in a labyrinth, Will, in the Himalayas. I am going to die.
OK, look at me.
What can I do to help?
Well, if I have to do it, so should you.
What? But people can see me.
You can see me, that's not fair. I shouldn't have to...
OK, fine.
This is ridiculous.
Satisfied?
Clara?
Don't drop my clothes.
Sorry.
Ah, your test. Yeah.
You tried to steal the blood before. That means you've done the test.
No, I tried to steal it. I never succeeded in getting the key.
You're afraid.
Your father managed to rig this tunnel here
with a massive geomagnetic current,
voltage derived directly from the earth.
Do you have any idea who much electricity that is?
He knew you were hard to kill.
Well, this might just do it.
Awesome.
Your father didn't like me, did he? You're an acquired taste.
Uh-huh.
The seventh girl you murdered.
April 1888. They found her body under a bridge near Wapping.
Why move her from Whitechapel?
It's tormented me.
But why taint your calling card? Why change the rules?
I remember, I asked your opinion at the time
over brandies at the Reform Club
and you said, "Perhaps the old boy's losing his taste for the sport."
But were you?
My actions were not of my own
but thrust upon me...
by an irresistible force.
No.
It must've been quite the blow to your ego when you learnt the truth.
It was not just that I failed to see the clues laid out before me.
It was that it was you, John.
For God's sake!
It was you!
Veritas iacet. Truth lies.
Latet veritas. Lies truth.
Now, the subtle but vital difference
is that this epigram translates as "lies buried", as in dead,
whereas this, this means "lies at rest",
a much more benign expression
and thus it follows that we must choose between life and death.
That's it? That's your unassailable logic?
Gregory and I shared a passion for Latin.
It follows that he would hide the clues in the subtleties of the language.
So...
Either a chamber lies beyond that
or a perfect chance for you to exact your revenge for my past actions.
Care to reconsider your choice?
The second key is undoubtedly within the second door
or indeed this key may unlock it outright.
Hm.
In which case you might leave me here to die.
Yes.
I might.
Well, why don't you?
As I once said...
I have lost the taste for the sport.
Release the first key, the second is freed as well.
Elementary, my dear Watson.
Oh, shut up!
There should be adequate cellular penetration by now.
What the hell is that supposed to mean?
You may begin.
Cut the power. I thought you didn't bluff, Dana.
It has been an absolute pleasure talking with you.
I wish we had more time but it's time to say goodbye.
What did you do to me?
What we had to.
Turns out it actually was as simple as quenching your thirst.
And I'm afraid I did lie to you.
You're going to die today, Ashley.
Mmmmm.
Oh!
You felt genuine concern for me.
Admit it. Nonsense.
Oh. You still like me, it's so obvious.
You tried to kill me. Yeah.
But, you know, we all hurt the ones we love.
Your turn.
Clara, don't stop. I can't do this, Will.
You're almost there. This is crazy.
I can't do this. Focus on the goal.
Don't think about anything else. It's just a key. You're doing great.
Not much of a test. You're a total daddy's girl.
Helen!
All right, Father.
Two by two. All right.
Keep going! You're doing fine.
I've got it! OK, come on.
We don't have a lot of time. Bring it back.
Two times two, two plus two, two to the power of two
and therefore four.
That is too easy.
Will! I can't make it across. You've gotta jump.
Just don't think about it. Jump!
Clara! Come on!
Come on!
Where are you? Run!
Two by two, two by two.
It's not an equation, it's a reference.
Noah's ark, right?
Your favourite metaphor for your work.
Right, so what's the permutations of abnormal life?
They're endless.
Therefore it's infinity.
Right.
Infinity.
Thank you.
Nice but I think somebody must've screwed up.
Ah! Bloody hell.
Move your legs, old man.
Clara!
Oh, no, she was right with me.
Relax, Will, I'm right here.
I asked you not to drop my clothes and look - they're filthy.
Nice job, Will.
Interesting. Oh, well done, William.
Thanks.
Where's Helen?
Look.
Well done.
Shall we?
Where is it?
Finally.
I haven't seen this in a while.
Is that it? That's the blood?
The power in that vial...
it could change history
and create any kind of future we choose.
We? Don't worry. I'll see this through.
Antivirus and all.
Watson!
Oh!
Oh. Oh, my God.
What happened? Oh, the inevitable, I'm afraid.
The suit. It's stopped working.
It's been failing for some time.
It hasn't really worked since we left the Sanctuary.
I knew that this was a mission I would not return from.
It was worth one last challenge, Helen.
Oh!
You, I shall miss.
William, William...
There... There is something that we are not seeing. This was too easy.
There is something else happening,
something going on that we're not seeing.
You must find the missing piece.
What? What is it?
What's the missing piece?
Find it.
Ohhh.
Stay down!
Hi, it's me. It's Henry.
We're almost there.
Listen, are you OK?
You were out cold when I found you.
I need a gun. Here.
Cell phone. Yeah.
Awesome. This way.
What happened to you? I don't want to talk about it. You?
Me neither.
What about the codes for Lazarus? I'm on it.
I found a network interface in this lab here.
You rock star.
Anything? There's a whole encryption package.
Looks like a lot of code.
They must control the dispersal of units remotely.
I'm gonna download the whole file to a jump drive.
How long? Just need a couple more seconds.
'Ashley.' Mum, we're ready for blast off.
Trace the cell signal. 'Stand by.'
Come on, come on, come on.
OK, I got it.
Easy peasy. What's wrong?
This is so not good, Ash.
Just give them a few more seconds.
Ashley. Hey.
That was good timing.
Thank you.
Crap. Ashley.
Get her to the infirmary.
What the hell happened to her? I don't know. We were separated.
So you're supposed to say, "Hey, Clara, you did great.
Way to conquer your fears."
I'm sorry, I'm just...
thinking about stuff.
You did do great.
Thanks for taking off your pants.
You never have to thank me for that.
Wow. I can't believe this place.
I...
I thought I was a one-off, a freak.
Clara, why don't you stay here?
Just for a while, just to see what it's like to be part of something?
Yeah, I... I don't know.
Being connected to places and people,
it's not really my style.
Well, that's because neither was accepting of who you are.
I think that's going to change.
I had to do that.
The view is just way too romantic.
Yeah, I know what you mean.
How is she?
She's unconscious.
Her blood pressure's elevated, I need to run more tests.
They've done something to her.
She'll be all right, John.
She's strong.
I'd like to stay close, if you don't mind.
Of course.
John...
Thank you.
'What is it, Will?'
Something Watson said before he died,
about it all being too easy, that we'd missed something.
We got the blood. Seems like a win to me.
Yeah but I can't just shake the feeling that he's right,
that there's something else going on that we just can't see.
I have to talk to Magnus.
Nikola!
What the...?
Oh, no.
'Doc, the drive we brought back it's all ghost data.
There's no codes, no input, nothing we can use. Doc?'
Isn't this just like you? Steal what we need the most then stick around to gloat.
I have been here the whole time.
Ashley.
Magnus! Magnus!
The whole thing was a set-up.
Something else is going on.
We're too late.
Thank you, Ashley. You've been everything we could've hoped for.
Welcome to your rebirth.
