Rubinrot (2013) Based on the novel "Rubinrot (Ruby Red)" by Kerstin Gier
Hurry! Hurry!
They are there, Paul!
Run after them.
Do not let them get away!
There!
Come on!
Do not fall behind!
Paul!
Gwendolyn is safe. Grace will protect her.
Give it up!
Never!
To live in my grandmother's house, Lady Arista,
is punishment in itself.
All the time we have to deal with the manners of the 19th century
and a cousin, who believes she is the eighth wonder of the world.
Charlotte. My dear!
Charlotte suffers from a rare genetic defect
which, apparently, makes her priceless!
You can't compare...
She cannot be compared with ordinary people.
As long as I can remember, they is always this horrible secret.
My great-aunt Maddy discovered
that one day this gene will even allow her to "travel back in time".
However, Maddy has always been obsessed with the supernatural.
And be aware that an enormous responsibility awaits my favorite granddaughter!
To Charlotte! Yes!
To Charlotte! To you, my dear!
Gwendolyn...
At least, my mom and my brother Nick,
try to be fairly normal,
although in this family that is practically impossible.
Gwendolyn, take that camera out of here now!
Gwendolyn! We are eating cake!
And this is me:
the black sheep, which spoils the whole flock.
Oh, Gwennie...
Do not try to compensate your lack of appearance
with this gaudy attire.
Otherwise, you'll never find a date to the St. Lennox ball.
Cool party. Soon all will begin to dance on the tables.
Gwendolyn,
silence is a virtue,
which a lady at your age should already possess.
Did not I give money to your mother, so she can buy you a decent outfit?
Oh, and tomorrow is your birthday. Are you ready?
And what a pity to throw away so much food.
Gideon!
You look wonderful! Lady Arista.
Gideon! Charlotte. Happy Birthday!
Thank you!
Could you bring us three glasses of champagne?
Yes...
What?
Yes, why not...
What a nightmare!
Gwendolyn, what have you done?
Make no mistake: they all think that I'm a nobody.
God...
And sometimes I think that's true.
Gwen?
Gwennie?
Gwen!
Hey! Hey.
Is that him? With the ponytail?
He and Charlotte look good together, right?
Do you really think that they are together?
I don't care. The idiots can do whatever they want.
At least his suit is ruined.
Gwen!
Excuse me, miss.
The horror!
Does your family have a bigger secret more than MI5 and MI6 combined?
This is better than any soap opera.
Classy outfit.
Where are they taking her?
To the Temple, to the Lodge of Count Saint-Germain.
What kind of lodge?
Secret lodge, or what?
They are just a bunch of fanatics who consider themselves to be extremely important.
And he's going there with her?
Is he one of these fanatics?
Gideon de Villier is the same small "poser"
type like Charlotte.
Then he is also a carrier of this unusual gene, right?
For de Villiers family the gene is transmitted through the male line,
while in the Montrose family it is through the female.
It does not concern us.
Fortunately, it is quite not our problem!
For many centuries, the Guardians of the Lodge awaits for this day.
Today, we will witness
how to illuminate the last of the Circle of Blood.
Itâ screens...
Institute eternitatem!
"Time - it is a river,
where the Ruby will be the beginning, a harbinger of the end."
Itâ screens Institute eternitatem!
Do you know what they did to Charlotte at this lodge, when she was there?
No, I don't know anything.
And Aunt Maddie?
You shouldn't believe her.
Last week she read in the stars
I'll be the queen of the prom: ha ha!
And today she foretold from her tea leaves...
that...
that I will
be rained with beans.
What the...?
Again, it's...
This stuff tastes like it’s been scraped off the floor anyway!
You can have mine too, if you fancy spreading some more on your blouse.
No, thank you.
You are a laughing stock, Gwennie.
Don't pay any attention.
I talked to Gordon.
He has a brother who is willing to go to the prom with you.
But...you have to buy him a ticket out of Essex.
Gwennie?
I still won't go to this ball.
What are you, crazy?
Act normal!
Who are you to say, do I have genetic mutation?
This is my gift, Gwendolyn.
Does this has something to do with your birthday?
Were you hurt?
Did you spent some time being experimented on in this lodge?
This guy...
Was he there too?
Gideon?
Of course.
Gideon and I have been preparing for this role for many years.
Together.
Well?
Charlotte!
Say something sweet.
I'm still here, as you can see.
Head is not spinning?
They say that's how it will start. Charlotte...
Gwendolyn, go to your room and play.
Mr. Bernard!
Gwendolyn, my angel, Come and sit with me, please.
Entertain me a bit.
Say something.
Glenda is getting on my nerves!
Do you feel anything?
Where is Lady Arista?
Your grandmother is talking on the phone.
But she’s speaking softly, so I’m afraid you can’t make out a word of it.
What will you say,
if Charlotte suddenly dissapears into thin air in front of us?
Family de Villiers are expecting us in the church. All right.
Arrogant show-offs. These de Villiers!
Why is everyone so sure that it is who Charlotte has inherited this gene?
I have nothing more to say.
Your grandmother would kill me if I spill the beans.
There were celestial cluster of stars
in the sky when Charlotte was born.
Mr. Newton's estimated the date of her birth.
Our milkman calculated Charlotte's birth date?
No, Isaac Newton, the mathematician.
Sometimes it is better to remain ignorant and not know.
In this lodge there is a time machine, which is directly beneath the church.
They call it the chronograph.
Oh, well, of course, I also heard about it.
Oh, did you take the last one?
Couldn't you go to the store and get me another bag?
I'll go and get some fresh air and at the same time buy the lemon sherbets.
Honey, are you all right?
Help!
Thief!
Help!
Somebody help me!
The nerve! Just the thought of it!
Help!
Get up! Give me that!
I'm sorry...
What is that awful stinking smell?
She came out of nowhere and tried to rob me!
Thief!
I, a thief? That's not true!
For what? For that...?
Is she crazy? She is crazy!
What are you doing here? Where are you from?
I live here! My room is at the top!
Do you? Live here?
In this house?
Well, right now, you will know what we will do with people like you!
God, Leslie, it was awful!
They wanted to throw me in jail or in a mad house!
You went back to the past? Yes!
Or I'm crazy like those people who say they were abducted by aliens.
The question is, what's worse: to go crazy or to indeed go back in time?
You are the real carrier of the gene, not Charlotte!
And this defect allows you to time travel.
No, I am...!
That can't be, from where did I get it?
Isaac Newton could not be so grossly mistaken.
Man with apple and gravity...
Blah, blah, blah.
Infinitesimal calculus... transcendental spirals...
quadratic equations... optics...
Other crap.
And, the law of gravity!
Don't you think that transcendental spirals,
sounds like "time travel".
No, I don't think..
Do you think Gideon also travels through time?
Yeah, and now you will travel together.
I can just see you and him holding hands on the execution of Anne Boleyn.
How romantic!
It's not funny, Leslie, I'm scared!
Where are you?
At the Millennium Bridge.
Oh, no! Get away from there!
If this is happens again, and you go back to the past,
you'll fall right into the Thames!
Do you think it will happen?
Again?
Yes! Go home and tell your Mom!
Count Saint-Germain...
Mom, this is...
For she's a jolly good fellow...
which nobody can deny!
May all your heart's desires be granted, my dear!
How lovely! Thank you, Mom.
It belonged to a very special person.
It will protect you.
Lady Arista would never have approved of such a feast!
All the more reason to celebrate, Mr. Bernard!
Can I have Charlotte's room, when she leaves the house?
What if Charlotte doesn’t have this gene after all?
What makes you say that?
Aunt Maddie?
Are you okay?
It looks like she's having a seizure!
Aunt Maddie? Wait, she's seeing a vision.
Lucy!
Lucy...
A sapphire egg
And raven chick hatches from it,
Time is running out,
The egg will break...
Lucy, no!
Gwendolyn! She falls! She falls!
She falls! Gwendolyn!
Look out!
Gwendolyn!
Aunt Maddy! I'm here! I'm just next to you! Mom!
Aunt Maddy! Aunt Maddy!
Oh, Gwendolyn.
Promise me that you will take care of yourself!
Gwendolyn. I promise.
What did you see?
A sapphire egg.
There was a raven, the clock on the tower and Lucy.
She still looked the same as ever...
Who is Lucy? She's your cousin.
She ran away from home, when she was 17 years old.
Because of love, and because of her stupidity.
There was a terrible scandal.
Since then, her name has never been spoken.
Do you believe that?
I mean...
In this vision of Aunt Maddie.
Sometimes it seems to me,
that this family has too much imagination.
I think we would be much happier
if we stuck to believing what normal people believe.
Grandpa?
Gwendolyn?
Why are you here?
Great pyjamas.
But you died when I was six!
Yes, but that's still far away. Now is only 1994.
Our paths will cross again.
Is this your first time travelling to the past?
The second. How can I to stop this?
Gwen. We have little time, listen:
each time traveler bears the name of a precious stone.
You are Ruby.
I left you a message.
All eyes will be focused on you.
Go on, Gwen, hide! Go on!
Your daughter, Grace, helped them!
How ironic...
These traitors: Lucy and Paul have stolen the Chronograph
and ran away, taking it back to the past.
This is what we feared.
How dare these traitors sabotaged our cause?
And why does the family Montrose again had a hand in it?
They do not trust you: you did not have to lie to them.
They found that...
Here, here, and also here.
I was hoping it wouldn't happen again.
I'm going crazy, Leslie, just crazy!
Yes. And that's why I like you.
My grandfather knew, so he wasn't surprised when he saw me.
Look. This is my cousin Lucy. Last night I rummaged through all the photo albums.
She also has the gene. And she eloped with this Paul de Villiers.
Here they are, at the school prom in St. Lennox.
Another de Villiers.
But he doesn't look like Gideon.
Gwen?
Do you know what Charlotte is going to wear to the prom?
She probably has a dress made already.
I have no idea.
Will you be going or are you still waiting to be asked?
We are here to discuss our article.
Right.
"Wonks on the school's ball:
British teenagers between etiquette and lust."
Charlotte will be the prom queen.
You two "brainiacs" will be the the Christmas tree.
The what?
In short, I've been up all night researching.
It's a great story, I should get a Pulitzer Prize for it.
So, this Count Saint-Germain is either a very cool dude, or a crook.
Rumor has it, that he is immortal.
He founded the Lodge in 1745.
But what is the Lodge?
They behave as if they are the ones saving the world more or less.
But for me, these people are quite different:
they want to rule the world.
As in the James Bond movies.
And what is my part in all this?
Well, since there is no sense talking to Charlotte, maybe you can find out from Gideon.
You have to spy on him. That should be easy.
Use your feminine wiles...
With that jerk?
Are you kidding?
We'll get into trouble if we are late for class again.
Damn, not again.
Seriously? Now?
Well go to the bathroom. No one will see you there.
Gwennie?
What is going on here?
Was that Gwendolyn Shepard?
Where is she?
Mr. Whitman, hello.
This is... Gwendolyn? Here?
Oh no...
Yes...
What happened to her?
She was feeling sick, she ran to the bathroom. A virus: diarrhea, nausea...
Rashes on the skin.
It looks horrible and extremely contagious...
Do not lie to me, Leslie!
Gwendolyn, wait, please.
Wait. Just let me explain everything to you.
Don't trouble yourself! I did not want it to happen.
I do not need your explanation, Mr. de Villiers.
Calm down, I pray thee, everything is already too complicated.
It would be easier if I did not put a spoke in the wheel.
We have to go back. The Count will notice that we are gone.
This seems so familiar.
Don't trust what they say.
You shouldn't feel challenged. Do not let them manipulate you!
You have to believe in yourself!
You're talking to yourself?
No!
Is someone there?
No!
A spy?
Gideon, there is no one!
Thank God, at last!
I told Mr. Whitman that you're not feeling well, because he almost strangled me.
Leslie, something strange happened.
I believe you. Actually, the liver should go there.
There were two of me.
This shouldn't continue. Call your Mom now, okay?
Here you go.
That's incredible.
You kissed a guy at some ball.
But you're telling me that you can't even remember what he looked like?
Yes, but it was not me, it was my doppelgänger, you know?
And you had your eyes open or closed?
Leslie! Gwen, focus! Was it a...
The first kiss or a "We used to do it" kiss?
I...
Gwen, let's go, get in the car!
After all what Aunt Maddy said, do not bullshit...
Yes, my dear. I'll take you to the Lodge of Count Saint-Germain.
To this sect? Right now? There will be more?
Only they can control it.
Maybe it was a mistake, Mom?
Gwendolyn, listen to me, please!
This is not a game, right?
If this happens again, you... you could be anywhere.
For example, in times of the Great Fire of London in the 1600's.
And your school uniform will burn like tinder.
Here we are.
How may I help you?
Oh, it's you, Miss Montrose!
Shepherd, I got married. I need to speak to Falk de Villiers.
I'm afraid they are now in an important meeting.
Tell them that I'm bringing the Ruby.
I beg your pardon?
You think I'm kidding?
How do you know so much about this place?
My father,
your grandfather Lucas was Supreme Master of the Lodge.
They are interested in ancient myths and time travelers like you.
And how many are there of these travelers?
As far as I know, only 12, and most of them are already dead.
You are the last one.
Mom, do you realise how ridiculous that sounds?
Grace.
Good to see you!
Thomas George.
Not everyone will be so glad to see me, like you.
It just happened, I didn't... didn't do anything, when suddenly...
Suddenly... Vuh!
And I was back in the past...
And there were horses and carriages, and a lady in a lace cap.
And she had apples and cucumbers...
Oh, and she called me a thief.
Is it all true?
Gwendolyn?
It is. She is your Ruby, the one you're waiting for.
It is impossible!
Charlotte is the carrier of the gene!
Newton himself has calculated the date of her birth!
Gwendolyn was born on the same same day as Charlotte.
What?
Your father had paid off a midwife
to forge the birth certificate.
How can this woman expect us to believe a word of what she says anyway?
She was the one who helped Lucy and Paul run away with the chronograph!
Wait a minute.
You had my birth certificate forged?
What does this have to do with Lucy?
We had hoped that you wouldn't inherit this gene; unlike Charlotte.
It's unheard of!
Gwendolyn has a pea-sized brain and two left feet!
My sister is willing to do anything to get back in the spotlight!
I would be happy to let Charlotte remain a guinea pig for these...
those fanatical mystery mongers and pseudoscientists obsessed with esoteric subjects, believe me.
It was totally irresponsible.
I hope you can live with your conscience.
Not only you, but that
pathetic loser.
You're still jealous, Falk?
After so many years?
Oh, Grace, you really do not understand, do you?
How can you easily put
their miserable personal "happiness" over our shared ideals?
And what was the result?
Gwendolyn will be protected against uncontrolled time travel.
That's all I ask.
If she's telling the truth, it will happen again soon.
And we have to be ready for it.
Take care of her.
Can't we just go to the doctor?
Mom!
Gwendolyn, go with them.
Unfortunately, they are the only ones who can help.
I will wait for you at the reception. It is too stuffy here.
Do not worry, those fanatical mystery mongers and pseudoscientists obsessed with esoteric subjects...
Do not bite.
I'm not going to participate in any of your perverted experiments!
Your grandfather once told me,
that from early childhood you were an unusually stubborn girl:
it made an impression on him.
Oh, he was a good friend to me.
I still feel his absence. He is for me irreplaceable.
Who's that boy? What boy? Here?
Come on, I'll introduce you to Gideon. Wait, I'm not...
Gideon, this is Gwendolyn Shepherd.
Gwendolyn this is Gideon de Villiers.
Yes, we've had the pleasure. The suit is still at the dry cleaners.
Oh, and you have to wear jeans? I'm really sorry.
It’s possible that Gwen is our new Charlotte.
Is that a joke?
It's a very complicated story.
You'd better go to the Dragon Hall, where they will explain everything to you.
Gwendolyn, the gene helps you move to an undetermined time in the past.
Being in a skyscraper, you could go back to the past
and be in the middle of hostilities,
or be burned at the stake.
But know this: in this room you are always safe,
regardless of the year.
Here you go.
It is the hallmark of our lodge,
just in case, if you encounter one of us.
When will this happen again?
It is impossible to predict,
each time traveler is different.
Count Saint-Germain was the fifth of the 12 time travelers.
It is believed that in his youth he managed to make up to seven trips per day.
You can imagine how dangerous his life was.
Seven times a day? That's terrible! And there's no way to control it?
If you really are Ruby,
you can easily elapse with the chronograph.
Elapse... what? Elapse.
We will be able to prevent uncontrolled time travel
and send you to a fixed place in the past for a few hours.
We need only a few drops of your blood.
A Time Machine that feeds on blood?
You could say that. But based on all of this, this is rocket science.
But if Lucy and Paul stole this chronograph,
how can it be here?
Good question.
There is a second chronograph.
And, fortunately, we were able to to make it work.
Any more questions?
When I went back to the past in St. Lennox, I...
I saw myself. There I was with another of me.
You're back there in the future, I mean, you are back there again.
Yes, in the future.
This happens even though we forcefully try to prevent it.
It's just complicated.
In the past...
it is usually very dark.
Do you want a cookie?
With orange filling?
Charlotte, wait a minute!
"Phantom symptoms"?
This is all so embarassing and humiliating.
And you didn't seem to care either way!
No, that's not true, I'm still in shock.
I really do feel sorry for your cousin.
Oh, really?
Think about it. We have been preparing for this for many years.
She will never understand!
And I don't want to be the one clearing up the mess.
Of course, poor Gwendolyn!
Here they are such dangers.
Just magine what's waiting for you when you're away from it all!
Far away from here!
But I never wanted anything than to do this.
With you.
Grandpa Lucas.
Ruby
"Blood opens the lock and you shall find...
all that is written about you.
Trust in your magic."
Hi, Wendy.
It lasted almost 45 minutes.
Gwendolyn, are you all right?
Did anyone see you?
Yes, all is well. There's no one other than a rat.
All our plans are down the drain!
Gwendolyn will not have time to learn everything she's missed.
Etiquette, French, fencing, dances, the history of England.
I'll finish the mission alone.
I know my history well.
I'm sure Miss Gwendolyn will surprise us all.
Seriously?
Who ruled England after George the First?
George the Second?
Which dynasty replaced the Stuarts in 1702 and why?
I know the answer to this question. You need only...
That proves it. She cannot even give a normal response to a question!
Charlotte was prepared to be my partner.
And this, she's just a child, Look at her.
Gwendolyn is our Ruby.
She deserves to be granted protection by the Lodge.
Again from the beginning.
You need a drop of my blood to be read through the chronograph to...?
To stop the uncontrolled... time travel.
So I can use the time machine whenever I want?
In theory, yes, but in reality the Lodge selects a time
and the duration of your travels.
And when I say "no"?
You'll wander in the river of time and will not last long.
Shall I call Mr. George, to explain it to you?
No.
I thought so.
And where is the chronograph?
The last girl, who asked me this question,
was your charming cousin.
And soon after, she stole it.
Yes, of course, it has to be you, should I guess why?
You are so friendly.
She lost her way.
Much to our regret.
What's that for?
You're better off not knowing.
Hello?
Oh, welcome! I'm Madame Rossini,
I am responsible for your wardrobe!
We cannot let you walk...
in the past, in this nightmare of a school uniform!
ne a na?
Forty-five, and now the hip.
Straight young filly.
You can use most...
of what I made for the other girl.
I'm not wearing anything that is not for...
Put it on, honey.
But I...
But Charlotte is much taller and thinner than me.
Yes, the skinny cornstalk.
Oh! If you only knew...
Ah how nice to make dresses for a brunette for once.
Why do we need all these costumes?
For your mission, my young swan, for your mission!
For what other mission?
A mystery, it's a mystery...
I'm just a dresser.
"The Raven bestow their magic Ruby, and the Circle is complete,
Brings the Circle of Twelve home into safe haven."
Don't leave me!
Don't worry, I won't let anything happen to you.
Ex hawk momento pendet...
eternitas.
"From that point depends on forever."
"Twelve pillars the castle of time will bear."
You still need to find your magic.
Gwendolyn
Sophie
Elizabeth...
Shepard,
The last in the Circle of Blood.
You'll be sure to check out and follow the Order of Count Saint-Germain.
You'll preserve our secrets, do not expose it
and will readily spill blood to defend it.
Excuse me: And what the heck is a "Circle of Blood"?
And how can I follow the rules of someone who died centuries ago?
And it's all for the mission?
Gwendolyn, now is not the right time.
My father was not a loser...
And my mother has a reason not to trust the Lodge,
so why should I believe you?
You are our Ruby.
We are here to serve you.
You are unique, precious and special.
You will have to learn to accept your gift.
Itâ screens Institute eternitatem!
Are you all right?
How would you feel if your mother lied to you all her life?
I wanted to protect you from the Lodge, I beg you, trust me.
I didn't want them, and still don't, to infect you with their crazy ideas.
They think they are better than us all, they are the elite,
who has the right to run the Order.
And my grandfather was involved in this?
I think he spent his lifetime trying to convince the Lodge to replace their views.
Because he knew that two of his granddaughters are carriers of the gene.
Listen to me:
Don't trust anyone.
What did they do to Lucy? Why did she decided to steal the chronograph?
It was a long time ago, I know so little of it...
This is due to the huge force that arises,
when the blood of all 12 travelers are collected time will be loaded into the chronograph.
Lucy and Paul could not let that happen.
Why?
My dear, I do not know.
But I believe in Lucy: she was so desperate when she came to me.
You seem to trust Lucy more than I all this time.
I will not let you ruin my life!
No way!
Charlotte, I'm sorry, please believe me.
Stay away from Gideon! Understand?
Lucy Montrose & Paul de Villiers
To Gwen, for her 16th birthday
I'm sleeping!
Hello?
Leslie?
Yes, just...
No, I couldn't sleep.
I want to get more information from Gideon "insignificance" de Villiers,
Unless, of course, the idiot as usual has something else to say to me.
No! He's such a narcissist!
Miss Gwendolyn.
Thank you for coming. I need to clarify some information for your files.
Zodiac sign, your bust size, social security number, vaccination card?
How do you drink your tea? With sugar?
Yes.
Here is your credit card.
Yes, and why is it necessary?
How should I tell you?
For rock concerts, clothes, sweets, cosmetics, film,
everything you need at your age.
The limit is boundless.
I mean, I can buy with it whatever I want?
You are Ruby, you will now have everything you want.
And if I want to...
donate 2,000 pounds to my friend's mother's Cat Shelter?
I will be very grateful if you could bring me back the receipt.
Here. Sign it.
Were you involved with Grace Montrose?
A long time ago.
The Montrose women have always been rebels.
With Gwendolyn, you should always keep this in mind.
It will not be difficult.
A loving relationship between the families de Villiers and Montrose...
is doomed.
Do not worry, Falk.
Gwendolyn's definitely not my type.
There's our little Ruby.
Be careful, otherwise we lose her too.
You all think I'm crazy, right?
You're just clumsy.
The problem is that the latter carriers of the gene in your family
stole the first chronograph with the blood of the ten time travelers.
As I understand it, with the help of the last carrier of the gene in your family.
They should be a reason why
they wanted to prevent you to complete the Circle of Blood.
Who said that they wanted to prevent it?
When the Circle of Blood is completed,
whoever holds the chronograph will have the Secret of the Twelve
revealed to him.
Lucy and Paul took the chronograph so they can get to the Secret.
Gideon had already visited in the past six of the 12 travelers
and managed to take their blood for the new chronograph.
Only four left: Jade, Opal, Sapphire and Tourmaline.
Well, what are you?
What kind of stone?
The strongest:
the diamond.
We have a little difficulty with Margaret Tilney, Jade.
Your grandmother's grandmother She was born in 1884.
Yesterday, I visited her in 1902, but she told me,
she agreed to start negotiation only with you.
With me?
Yes, you are Gwendolyn Shepherd, or am I wrong?
Yes.
Only, how does she know my name?
You do it to ask her yourself.
What an elegant summer dress.
In 1912, the ladies preferred to hide their charms.
Do you think it suits me?
Wait, there's more!
Voila!
We have turned the ugly duckling into a beautiful swan!
So, in small steps.
Chin up, chest out!
I...
Curtsey.
Can I put my own shoes?
By no means!
Encore une fois.
Small steps. Chin up. Chest forward. Show us what you got!
Wow! Cool hat.
Cool moustache.
Really?? No, like a circus ringmaster!
This is not a beauty contest, sweetie.
Here is the most important thing...
Authenticity? Right?
Yeah, right.
Attention!
Sit down!
Back straight, feet close together.
I... take the cup.
The best disguise is blending in.
And how does this relate to the way I sit?
It would be very dangerous to interrupt certain sequences of events.
Otherwise, you might never be born.
Take the cup of the handle, like a real lady,
and then just slightly move the little finger to the side,
To here and so...
Excellent!
I'm tired of being a laughing stock!
You are just an ill-mannered squirt!
A gentleman does not laugh at a lady.
Of course, if I know where your chronograph is,
I would not hesitate to steal it.
I don't even have a say in this things.
They do not trust you because of your mother.
Do you trust me?
I will not let you jeopardise my work.
Careful, I'm not a supermarket trolley.
Allow me?
Are you nervous?
And are there still some supernatural phenomenal?
Demons? Ghosts? The aliens? Vampires?
Don't be silly, Gwendolyn. What...
Stay close to Gideon and do whatever he tells you.
However she tries, she cannot play a role.
Of course I can. Enough!
You will work together.
A young couple with good manners and a good upbringing. All right?
You will have at your disposal only three hours.
Operation "Jade" begins.
Date of appointment: April 16 ,1912.
The weather is cloudy, about 10 degrees, heavy rain is expected in the evening.
Your password and the motto of this mission:
"omnia vincit amor"
"Love conquers all"
Are you ready?
He's gone.
Come up here now.
Do not move!
Gideon?
Sir Francis Drake, Pirate of Her Majesty.
Welcome to the past, Miss Shepherd.
Shall we go?
"Titanic" sank! News Flash! News Flash! "Titanic" sank!
Well? Impressed Miss Shepherd?
You could say that, Mr. de Villiers. You could say that.
What a great year.
And a good day.
Oh, please.
You've got to be kidding!
Cover it with your skirt!
Belgravia. And wait for us. Yes, sir.
Visitors from the future, very nice.
Gwendolyn!
I'm so excited to finally meet you.
Thank you. I'm pleased to meet you too.
You're so pretty.
Is she not lovely?
Lovely! Lovely!
Lady Tilney.
I still want to make the same request. as I did 10 years ago.
And my answer is still the same: you are not having any of my blood.
But let's go upstairs.
10 years ago?
For Lady Tilney it was a decade ago and for me, yesterday.
A cup of tea with conversation is always pleasant.
Pleasant! Pleasant!
So.
The beauty!
Good boy.
Good one!
Lady Tilney, how do you know my name?
I've had visitors from the future. You are not the first.
What comfortable looking shoes.
Is this the latest fashion? Yes.
But yours are very pretty too.
Lady Tilney.
You're making a huge mistake trusting the wrong people.
I totally agree.
Margaret, I always say:
you're making a great mistake trusting the wrong people.
Not a step closer!
Paul.
Look at who my guest is:
Gwendolyn Shepard.
I'll call Lucy.
Gwendolyn? Is that really you?
Unbelievable!
You're so grown up and beautiful.
Stay away from her! We're leaving.
Stay, we will not do anything to her.
What do you want from us?
My name is Paul, Paul de Villiers.
So strange to see you look so grown up.
What I find strange is that you seem to know me.
Do not talk to him!
Oh, I have no doubt that my brother Falk turned you into a fighting machine,
so that, if necessary, you use force to obtain blood for the new chronograph...
They willingly gave me their blood. Because they do not know the consequences.
No! Because they did not want to destroy what the Lodge has been working on for centuries!
You've been brainwashed!
The Circle of Blood should not be allowed to close for anything!
The Count is not so selfless, as he seems.
We know the truth... It's a lie, to the last word!
Gwendolyn?
Is that really you?
Lucy. My pendant, you still have it.
Take care of it.
Why did you run away? And what are you doing here?
You should know this! This is due to you.
We're leaving.
No, we're staying, I want to know, what happened.
You can leave. Gwendolyn remains.
Lucy, take us to the door.
Gwendolyn, listen to me: you're in danger.
We found out what's your role in this. It's all there in the prophecy.
The Count is very dangerous, he wants to sacrifice you.
Don't let them win! Do not listen to her, she's lying!
Try to find the prophecy about the Ruby.
Trust in the Magic of the Raven, it will save you!
Do not shoot! Run!
Here we are safe from those wacky anarchists.
What was the "war machine"?
Krav Maga, the Israeli hand combat,
protection to 360 degrees, let's go.
Thanked the Lord for the shelter of his house.
They wanted to tell me something. It was important.
They really don't want the Circle of Blood to be completed.
I don't believe a word they say: it was a trap!
What is this "prophecy" that Lucy talked about?
There is a prophecy for each Time Traveler.
Only the Master knows of it. It is a closely guarded secret.
What does those two know, something that we don't?
It does not matter.
They are pathetic traitors.
Explain to me why you are so sure?
Have the Guardians really had your head brainwashed?
Oh Lord, why is everything so much more more complicated with you?
Charlotte always did as I said.
Well, Miss Shepard.
Are you willing to repent?
Admit it, have you ever entertained any evil thoughts?
Only if you are going to tell me about your own sins too, Mr. de Villiers.
My God!
Good God!
Do not worry, Miss Shepard,
I will remain silent about your unruliness!
What are you doing here?
We're taking refuge from the infidels in the House of Lord.
Unheard of!
Committing adultery in the church! Sinners!
Falk will be frantic if we are not back at the Lodge.
It's not in the interest of the Lodge if the travelers are hungry, is it?
Nan. No. 121: Chicken Tandoori with extra Batura and mango lassi.
Hera has the best Indian food in town.
Hera is in truth, very "unusual".
In my opinion, the place is underrated.
Overreact much, Mr. de Villiers? Welcome to the present.
Miss Shepherd, even though, I know what to do in the past,
it does not mean that I don't have a normal life.
Well, what do you do?
I'm studying.
Medicine.
But this semester, I'm taking the time off.
Well?
What do you do when you are not trying to poison a guy with spices?
Certainly not playing the violin and dancing the gavotte.
The violin, it's not so bad.
Women love it. In any century.
You are such an arrogant son of a bitch!
Thank you,
and you are...
the most charming girl in the world.
The diamond, the strongest of them all?
It's his first curry!
They lured us into a trap.
They wanted Gwendolyn. They need her blood for the chronograph.
No, they just wanted to talk.
Of course, so they shot at us.
So, they only wanted to talk, huh?
They said that the Count is dangerous.
Traitors!
With Charlotte this would never have happened.
Yes, because she cannot time travel.
Not surprisingly, Gwendolyn doesn't hold a candle to Charlotte.
In that case, you can look for a new companion!
I have one and will be able to finish the mission.
In general, not in 1912 and any
subsequent years. There is no trace of where Lucy and Paul are staying unfortunately.
It can be assumed,
that the Florentine Alliance took them into their ranks.
Keepers of the macaroon?
It's not funny, Gwendolyn.
Florentine Alliance has been over the centuries
the main rival of the Lodge.
Orthodox Christian Orders: They accuse us of heresy.
Lucy talked about some prophecies.
What do these prophecies say about the Ruby?
You have no right to ask such questions.
Yes? And who else do I ask? Count the Dead?
Good! Then I will ask him myself.
I'm free to go?
Soon you will have the the opportunity to meet with the Count.
Now leave us!
Her curiosity is dangerous.
The Count will dispel her doubts when her questions are answered.
She needs to learn how to trust us, like you do.
Is it not a natural instinct to know the reason why we risk our lives?
For the sake of humanity.
Leslie Hay
Sapphire egg in my vision, this is a very scary sign.
A sapphire egg symbolises that...
Aunt Maddy, If I hear another word about sapphire eggs, I shall scream.
Gwendolyn!
Tempering with a man's difficulties.
Soon you will understand it.
Hopefully.
Coffee grounds...
After school you will be picked up and taken to the Lodge.
Call me if you're not feeling so good?
And do not give in to Gideon's charms..
Guys like him will only break a young girl's heart.
Hey, Gwennie. Can you bring back for me a dinasour egg from the past?
Of course! Velociraptor or a Tyrannosaurus rex?
Gwendolyn, you cannot: this is not a game, you know?
Or aren't you clear about the word "secret" in the "Secret Lodge"?
Do you think Glenda is also allergic to dinosaurs?
You have no idea the dangers of what you have exposed.
Gideon is very amused with your "ability" yesterday.
We talk every night on the phone.
I'm the only one he has.
Really?
He asked me to give you a few lessons on
how to walk, sit and, especially, how to drink tea.
I can handle myself!
I said that you are too stubborn and too stupid
to accept this generous offer.
And you are right the first time in your life.
But this is too important to our mission.
Just be glad that all of this is not your problem now, Charlotte.
Mr. Bernard!
Could you pick up my dress for the ball from the Walden-Jones studio?
Jack the Ripper was held at bay the entire East End.
If you suddenly find yourself in 1888
remember that you are in potential danger, right?
As to the plague, it was almost all the time in 1348,
1528,
and in 1664 it was very bad.
All of this sounds awful.
By the way, my Mom thanks you for the donation.
At least the cats are happy.
You know, it seems to me that investigating mysteries must be in my blood.
Ony extracting the photos remains:
"Images from the Past", it will be just like an Otpad??
Hey, have you asked Gideon,
whether he knows anything about this "Magic of the Raven"?
I don't know: I don't have any magic.
I don't know how to fly, and I don't get visions like Aunt Maddie.
I think this is related somehow to the prophecy of the Ruby,
It's just...
It is unlikely that the Guardians of the Lodge understand what it means themselves.
Well,
maybe your meeting with this mysterious Count will shed some light on this.
Lucy said, he is dangerous.
That's all that I found on him, an expert in alchemy,
occultist and composer...
Leslie Hay and Gwendolyn Shepherd!
Open the door, and come out immediately!
You do know that this is the female toilet, don't you, Mr. Whitman?
Gwendolyn, I warned you! What!
Give me the folder!
Precious stones, crows,
time machine?
Mr. Whitman is one of them, they're everywhere!
Oh, no, he has my folder!
It seems that he didn't believe that I was preparing a report on metaphysics.
Were you smoking something in the toilet?
No, you idiot. We just wanted to talk to each other in peace.
You miss a class, because you wanted to talk?
Girls!
What has she done to herself?
Probably she went to a beauty salon.
But it looks cool.
Stylish...
She is still a clumsy sheep
and no beauty can hide it.
Gwen?
Gwennie?
Hey!
Wait.
Who are you?
Let me introduce myself properly:
James Augustus Peregrine Pympoole-Bothame.
Who are you talking to?
With this strange guy who's over there.
There's nobody there.
Are you new?
Yes. No, I have not signed up!
This property you're on has for three generations,
belonged to the family Pympoole-Bothame!
Our school?
Can you really see him?
What is he saying? What is he saying?
That St. Lennox was his family's property.
Why can't you see?
Maybe he's a ghost?
What are you? A ghost?
Who is this creature?
She's empty-headed, maybe it's something to do with the device on her head.
He says you're very attractive.
How nice.
That is outrageous! It's unacceptable!
When were you born, James?
Good question.
March 31, 1762.
Three weeks ago, I celebrated my 21st birthday.
There was a grand ball given in my honor.
March 31, 1762.
Oh, classy!
Wait a minute. I think I was there.
Candles, music, violin, cool wigs...
Everyone who holds any weight in London,
came to express their respects.
It's crazy! You can see ghosts!
And how is he: rather transparent or black and white?
And you...
Do you happen to know a Count who looks like this?
That is the Count Saint-Germain! The similarity is striking.
He was one of the guests at my ball:
What he did then... He is an amazing man.
Rumor has it that he is able to read minds
and penetrate into the heads of others.
Read people's thoughts? James, wait!
He really has a crush on me?
Wow! Look at that car, will you?
Maybe the rumors are true and... Madonna’s daughter really is at this school..
Undercover, of course.
Well, of course, so they sent her a limousine.
So no one will notice that she’s undercover.
And now, she's going to ask him to the prom?
I would do the same..
Oh, my God, he’s touching her.
He’s taking her hand!
And now he’s kissing her!
You know, on the other hand, this de Villiers is fairly cool.
Not to my taste.
Gwendolyn!
Hurry up, will you?
Your limo is waiting for you.
Excuse me.
Hi. Hi.
Have you grown overnight?
No. It's just that Madame Rossini shortened my school uniform.
We have to go. The Count doesn't like to be kept waiting.
Corset and crinoline:
It's not made from whalebone, but from featherweight high-tech carbon fiber.
And voila! In these shoes, reinforced iron toes:
enhanced specifically for self-defense.
Wonderful! Evening dresses!
Tres elegant!
I'm a genius.
You'll definitely tell me, how the Count is dressed, right?
The main thing, observe quietly. So, he won't bite you.
Voila!
You know, it looks incredibly elegant.
You've been to the toilet, right?
Have you any idea how you are going to pee in this dress?
Have you ever seen a toilet in the 18th century?
Bonjour, madam.
Mademoiselle?
Well, now the hat.
Tres chic, eh?
You really look very authentic.
So, says the guy in stockings.
Try not to run a ladder through the stockings.
M. Gideon, but I cannot say the same for you. I've
prepared for you those luxurious bright yellow stockings.
Oh, you're a little rebel!
They are too bright for me.
Yes, but in the Rococo period men wore bright colors.
Give us a dime, mister! One coin!
I ask! Help me!
Help me!
What's wrong with his finger?
"Black Death"...
Also known as the plague.
The blackening of the skin means the tissue is dead.
Don't worry, you have been vaccinated.
And if you give them the vaccine?
We cannot interfere.
Moreover, the Lodge considers that this is a natural selection.
It is vital for the formation of the rest of the human gene pool.
Natural selection?
I don't understand, are you monsters or heartless idiots?
You will meet the Count. He's an outstanding person.
Does he really know how to read minds?
What? Who told you that?
If he does know, I didn't even notice.
Or he was never interested in mine.
What if he wants to read mine?
Then don't think about anything. Or think something trivial.
That should be easy for you.
Something trivial...
Don't worry. I'll stay close to you.
Is that a threat?
No.
A promise.
Lord Brompton,
allow me to introduce my great-great-great grandson’s
great-great-great-grandson to you.
Gideon de Villiers.
Lord Brompton.
It looks like...
Visually at least, I consider that my line has turned out extremely welll?
A good looking young man.
Now, now, my dear Count, there you go trying to impress me with your tall tales again!
It's entertaining!
It's very entertaining!
The Ruby... Is this her?
Aah, unfortunately, we have prepared the wrong person for the job.
Do you speak French?
Aah...Hello? Good evening? Are you okay? Growing...
The citizen... Ah, the Count!
Why, I wonder, do I begin to feel that
the Guardians of your time no longer take their work entirely seriously.
I believe you'll find the answer in this letter.
So you're the Ruby.
What is your magic?
What is so special about you, my girl?
I don’t think there’s anything special about me, monsieur.
Then what are you doing here?
I have a question: What happens when the Circle of Blood is completed?
How does this relate to me?
Magnifico! Truly Magnificent!
Magnificent performances, Count!
I don't hope that you can at least imagine what is approximately at stake.
Women's blood is considerably more sluggish than ours.
My blood is more sluggish than yours?
What is the prophecy of the Ruby?
Just as the female mind is inferior to the masculine intellect.
Do you not agree with me, girl?
My dear Count,
This sassy young lady, unabashedly seems to be challenging you.
I love women.
As long as they do not start to think.
He's just a weak-minded man.
I'll get the answers from him.
Forget about the other issues.
The important thing is you're willing to follow my rules.
He read my mind. Quickly, think about some trivial things.
God save our gracious Queen! Long live our noble Queen! God save the Queen.
Girl!
Send her victorious, happy and glorious, Long to reign over us...
Your national pride is commendable, But England is now ruled by George the Third.
Therefore, you should sing "God Save the King".
Gideon?
I'm fascinated by your delightful performance, young lady.
And this is our Queen, Elizabeth the Second...
She's lovely, this year she even came to our school's festival
and Leslie got Her to autograph her English textbook.
Lord Brompton, we have to confiscate this box of tricks.
Be careful, it is electric!
So anyway, we have a Prime Minister and a cabinet
and everyone eighteen and over, including women in the country votes for members of Parliament.
And all people are equal, regardless of the...
Young lady! This is treason!
What?
No, you haven't understood it correctly.
Long live the queen!
The Prime Minister is absolutely useless...
So, the traitors are in the Tower!
You might as well say that the colonies have declared their independence.
And defending the abolition of slavery!
We have to leave.
I will not have anyone violate my rules.
Do you understand? Yes.
Goodbye, my children.
Come on.
He's very dangerous. He almost strangled me.
What did he say to you about the Terms of the Twelve?
I know less than you think.
What? You've been doing it for years and you don't even know for what?
I can't believe my ears!
What were you talking about when you left?
About your magic...
In the prophecies, the twelve time traveler is always described as rather special.
Apparently, he finds you ordinary.
I'm not trying to insult you.
I mean, "ordinary" not in the sense of "simple", but rather...
"Mediocre" or something.
"Mediocre, or something!"
It doesn't mean anything.
You don't even know me.
I know a lot of girls like you. Naturally!
You're all the same.
You only care about fashion, clothes the bassist player of popular rock bands.
You are always giggling and go to the bathroom in groups.
Yes. And yet,
you never had a chance to get to know an ordinary girl, like me.
Instead, you have to conjugate French verbs, danced the gavotte
and learn about the heirs to the throne of England.
You know what? I've had enough! I'm tired of you!
Stop! Hey!
Where is this? Is this Hyde Park, or where?
Something's not right.
Stay here.
Gideon!
Dammit.
Wake up! Wake up!
Who are you and what do you want from us?
Hold it!
Clever Girl!
Pray, if you can!
Gideon?
I told you to stay in the coach!
What is this?
Gwendolyn, get up.
Get up, people are watching.
That was totally reckless and dangerous...
And unusually brave.
Do you think...
Do you think he will die?
Am I a murderer?
It was self-defense. You were only defending yourself.
Or more precisely, me.
Not that it was needed, but...
Yes, you would have finished it off Mr. "protection to 360 degrees!"
Take a deep breath, and it will pass.
Oh, so it’ll pass? Yes?
And so if I’ve just killed a man, will that pass, too?
The fact that my entire...
My whole life has turned upside down today, will that pass?
Will the fact that an arrogant, long-haired,
violin-playing jerk in silk stockings who can’t think of anything better to do
than order me about... Even though.
I have just saved his pathetic worthless life, will that disappear as well?
And you know what? I'm sick of it!
And sick of you too! From all of you! Sick!
Wait!
Madame Rossini will kill you for spoiling the suit.
Then I'll tell her that you did it.
We'll have to walk back to the Temple. I don't have a penny.
You are incorrigible!
Were you hurt?
It's nothing. Just a scratch. It stopped bleeding.
This should not have happened.
They had the symbol of the Florentine Alliance on them.
They are...
Weren't they of the Inquisition?
Why would they want to kill us? I'm not a witch!
It is an ancient struggle.
Clergy against education, church against alchemy, faith vs. knowledge.
Good vs evil.
And whose side are we on? Good or evil?
Mr. George, Gwendolyn is very tired.
Enough for today.
I'd love to run away, where I would never be found.
You can't run away.
We are too dependent on the Lodge and its chronograph.
We are in their hands.
But we can't continue as if nothing happened!
Good night.
No, we cannot.
We have to find the prophecy.
It will reveal everything, that's what Lucy said.
Thank you.
What for?
As you said that it seems that today you've saved
my pathetic worthless life.
Are you still awake?
No.
I thought in the evenings you only call Charlotte.
Are you jealous?
Me? Dream on.
Where are you?
I'm worried about you.
Since your arrival, there's been one calamity after another.
And you were right:
I have to find out what is hidden in the prophecy.
And where will you find them? This is my problem...
Look, I'll come right now.
I think... Dont argue..
Where are you going? Yes, at this hour...
I can't tell you. Go back to bed.
Mom! I have to find out what's my role in all this,
and who is right? Can't you understand?
I'm stuck between good and evil, and you cannot help me.
Please. Just trust me.
What's going on?
Where are you going?
What is she up to?
Perhaps it is necessary to report to the Lodge? You can't disappear in the middle of the night.
Oh, Charlotte.
Hey!
Come on, both of us should get back to sleep.
Bonsoir, Mademoiselle Shepherd!
It's not wise to be seen in this quarter at this late hour.
Come on, I know where to start.
Secret archive room.
There has to be some kind of clue.
Look. I found this when I was in the past.
This is from my grandfather.
"Blood opens the lock and you shall find all that is written about you.
Trust in your magic."
This refers to the prophecy, but why did he write it?
You know, to be honest, I almost did not see it there.
Found it:
"The legacy of the Count lies over the Heads of the Dragons."
Legacy that sounds like a prophecy. Prophecy.
The Count left the prophecies to the Lodge. Let me take a look.
"Over the Heads of the Dragons."
They must be in the Dragon Hall!
Dragon Hall... Wait, here's something else:
"A few precious stones were stolen...
from the Bank of England in 1943."
Great! Now we also have have to break in the bank.
Or get them before 1943.
How convenient that we...
Damn! He locked the door.
Surely, Mr. George hides somewhere here a few cookies and whiskey.
I can make you agreeable with alcohol.
Since we're still here let's look for something else.
All right. Then I still look for the cookies.
For God's sake, what are you doing here?
Were you here all night?
And, what may I ask, were you looking for?
You'll be facing some serious consequences.
You said that my grandfather Lucas was your friend.
Yes, he was my best friend.
And I need to follow up on something that he left for me.
And for this we need your help.
Just think: your grandfather's legacy.
It's amazing, Miss Gwendolyn.
And I can't let my grandfather down. Do you understand?
We need to go back to the past.
And we need your help. Now.
Appointment day: December 24, 1942.
Your password for today is: "Kyrie, eleison" ("Lord, have mercy").
At Christmas Eve, it is always particularly quiet.
Ready?
Ready when you are.
No one.
Come on.
Merry Christmas 1942.
"Blood opens a lock"
Why does everything always comes down to blood?
Give it to me.
The Observatory!
These are all signs of the zodiac.
What does these mean?
Look!
Here, a Raven.
And the Ruby.
"The Raven red, on Ruby pinions winging,
its way between the worlds, hears dead men singing
but its power will arise and the Circle will close."
Dead men sing? Further.
"In the death of the sun what’s amiss will then mend,
While the Raven, in dying, discloses the end."
Raven! It's you.
What does this mean? Read more.
"Ruby-red drops of blood on ground snow-white,
Raven's ice-cold death in the light."
Ice-cold death?
Am I going to die?
It's missing a piece.
They are at the top!
Okay. Let them think we're thieves!
No!
We have to help her!
"Ruby-red drops of blood on ground snow-white,
Raven's ice-cold death in the light."
Did you not swear to full loyalty to me?
Oh, you cannot hide from me!
That's all you've got? Is that all your pathetic tricks?
Bring me the girl, and I'll tell you everything.
Wake up! You cannot go to sleep.
Why are you here?
How did you get here?
I play here.
My big brother brought me here.
Are you not cold?
No.
How to get out of here?
You need a key.
Do you not have it?
Lucy said, you have it.
There, you see?
I need an explanation, now.
You did not find Gwendolyn?
Is she not with you? What happened?
Damn, we need to find her. Mr. George, come with me.
Tell Falk de Villiers.
At the observatory, quick!
She has hypothermia.
Her vital signs will gradually stop.
Find Gideon and do not lead him to her.
"Cold dead sleep"
as mentioned in the prophecy.
Should I leave her to "sleep"?
They found Gwendolyn?
Where is she?
Gwendolyn!
She's terribly cold. We have to get her warm up!
Why are you just standing there? We have to help her!
Dr. White!
In addition to the hypothermia, she has concussion from the
blow to her head and numerous bruises.
Now everything depends on how fast she wakes up.
She's not going to die. She's stronger than you think.
You will be held responsible for this!
Be sure that if anyone is to be held responsible for this, it will be you!
The Guardians of the Circle know everything!
Go, go, go. Stay with her.
Stay with her.
Do not leave me.
I need you.
Gideon?
I was so scared for you.
And I always thought that to travel back in time would be so much fun.
Yes, sometimes it's really fun.
In the 18th century there are ball... I'll take you.
I've seen us...
We were at the ball.
In such cool wigs.
And do you know what we are in danger of then? Is it because you don't know how to dance?
I can teach you, I'm a good teacher.
Or do I have to fight a duel first with some of your beaus?
Each dance with me will be more more dangerous than any duel.
I can handle it.
And what...
What if the missing part of the prophecy is worse?
Whatever it is, our fate is in our hands.
I'll take care of you, Gwendolyn.
Praise the Lord!
You are awake...
Gwendolyn, are you alright?
Yes.
In your chronicles did it say anything
about the 16-year-old girl who kicked Count Saint-Germain's ass?
It is possible that the Count decided to keep quiet about the incident.
Be strong, Gwendolyn.
And remember that the future is not yet written.
Unfortunately, they are not in focus and too dark.
It's scary! Photos from the 18th century!
You simply must organise an exhibition!
Unfortunately, Mr. Whitman seize my "time travel" folder.
He said that I need to see a doctor,
because I have too much imagination. Can you believe that?
It is not important: the main thing that you're okay.
Leslie? Are you coming? I'll be right there.
Yes, one more thing... One more thing...?
Tell me!
It seems that the Lodge is giving you the most cool ball gown in London.
What a surprise!
Okay, I have to go! Bye!
How lovely you look...
In Lucy's dress.
Come on. I want to show you something.
Grandpa Lucas...
A good portrait.
Yes, and...
"hic Rhodus, hic salta"
"Prove what you can do, here and now."
This is the motto of our family.
I'll prove it.
You were born under a lucky star, Gwendolyn.
Who is he?
This boy?
This is Robert Jr. your grandfather's brother.
Sad story. He was still in his early childhood when he fell from the window of the church.
It seems now I understand what the Magic of the Raven is.
And here's your valiant knight.
Go!
If he ever hurts her, I'll make him regret it! And look for him at that mystery Lodge!
How is it that he's with her? I thought he likes Charlotte!
You are not the only ones who underestimated her.
This not a date!
We are only working together investigating, get that! Okay?
I did warn you.
Are you still mad at me, Gwendolyn.
What else can you expect from such an ordinary girl like me?
You are quite extraordinary, Gwendolyn Shepherd.
What did you say? I didn't hear you.
You don’t need the Magic of any Raven to be special to me.
This Gideon managed to wrest Gwendolyn out of our hands!
He's protecting her. He didn't mean to hurt her!
We’ll be crossing their path quite often in the near future.
Yes, that was just the beginning.
Don't look back, we're being followed.
Let's run.
Ready?
Ready when you are.
