[ethereal music playing]
[woman in French] We must stay really quiet.
It's time for your story to begin...
Are you ready, Gabriel?
[in English] This is what I thought Paris would be like.
[sighs] Little bars. Cool music.
This is what I was searching for.
All of this.
All of... you.
There aren't boys and bars in Montana?
- I'm from Michigan, and... [inhales] - Oh.
...not like this.
Come back to my apartment tonight.
And then don't leave. Stay.
Stay, like move in?
I don't like it when you go.
I don't like waking up on my own.
I've been on this planet for 29 years,
and I've known you for four months of that.
So I've got some pretty solid data to fall back on
when I say my life is not as good when you're not around.
So, come back to mine and don't leave.
You just say whatever it is you want, huh?
I don't say what I want. I say what I need.
And if you can tell me a better way to be happy,
I'm all ears.
Okay.
I'll get us some more drinks. [sighs]
[purposeful music playing]
- [door closes] - Hello.
[sinister musical flourish]
[in French] Fuck!
Jesus Christ. Now?
She wants you.
- [Gabriel] How did you get in here? - [woman inhales] She gave me a key.
I've had a long night, okay?
Can you just tell her you couldn't find me?
Tell her yourself.
[incanting]
I need some Night's Breath. Do you have any?
Try dumping them instead of wiping their memory for once.
[continues incanting]

[sinister music playing]
[Mercury in English] Hello, Gabriel.
You haven't been checking in.
I've been busy.
I have a job for you in England.
What kind of job?
Nothing dangerous, darling.
Just meeting someone.
Meeting who?
Hmm.
[screaming]
[screams]
- [screams] - [both grunt]
- [panting] - [Annalise screaming]
What the fu... [shouts]
[clattering]
[Nathan] Annalise?
[Gabriel] Oh, God.
[Nathan] What the fuck! Are you good?
- Yeah. - [Nathan exhales]
Okay, let's go.
- [Nathan gasps] - [Gabriel] The Fairborn Council.
No one said anything to me about the Fairborn Council.
I'm sorry.
They certainly didn't say anything about the daughter of a Fairborn Council Hunter.
You need to go home before you get me killed.
Shit! Where's my lighter?
She's not going anywhere.
[Gabriel exhales]
Fine. Before we go any further though,
for the sake of trans-fucking-parency,
is there anything else I should know about you?
- No more secrets. - None.
We're going to need supplies.
As much vodka as I can get for that.
[clerk] Hmm.
- What is your girlfriend doing? - Um.
We're not really...
Well, I... I mean, I... I don't think we're...
Oh, please, for the love of God, finish a sentence.
We're not really boyfriend and girlfriend.
I don't know what we are.
Okay, that wasn't worth the wait. [exhales]
And a lighter, please.
[clerk] There you go.
It's a peace offering.
An ugly plastic lighter for almost getting me killed.
- How incredibly generous. - If you don't want it, don't have it.
I didn't say I didn't want it. I said I wasn't grateful.
Come on.
[door alarm beeps]
[Nathan exhales]
This is gonna be a long journey.
Yeah.
I may have lost my temper earlier.
I apologize.
There were several items of value within that flat that I cherish dearly,
and now I shall miss.
- It's okay. I'm sorry that... - One gold cigarette lighter.
One silk chiffon scarf.
A selection of vintage Russian pornographic novels.
An embossed ebony walking cane.
- One antique... - [Nathan] We're sorry.
[chuckles] Really.
Gold.
Vintage.
Gone.
[purposeful music playing]
[sighs]
To Miss Adventure.
That fickle bitch.
May she help us on our way.
[exhales]
- [coughs] - [laughs]
[sniffs]
- Okay, what now? - [muffled rock music playing]
We wait.
Are there a lot of Blood Witches in Europe?
Thousands.
- And the fains don't know? - [crowd chattering, yelling]
You'll find that fains are incredibly good at not seeing what they don't want to see.
[Nathan] Didn't you have anything brighter or slower?
[man] Gabriel!
Welcome aboard! [laughing]
Long time.
[sighs] Where is my goddamn money?
[exhales]
[man] Oh!
You're very untrusting, Habir.
It's an extremely unattractive quality.
So is not paying your debts.
Who are these two?
- Who are you? - Well, I...
My name is Habir. This is my boat.
Habir's a pirate.
[Nathan groans]
I'm Annalise. This is Nathan.
[Habir] Hey.
Got anything to drink?
Nice. [chuckles]

"That is the star that will guide us home."

My apartment is just round here.
What, is that where the Cut is?
No, that's where a change of clothes is.
Please remember we're on a tight schedule.
How could I forget? You bring it up every five minutes.
This way.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Fuck!
Aww, shit! Been robbed!
Oh, no, it's gone. It's fucking gone!
What's gone?
[Gabriel] Something that's very fucking precious.
[shouts]
- You're having a bad few days, huh? - You think?
[Annalise] Look, I'm really sorry about all this, but we need to go.
- [sniffs] - The Council could track us here.
Or your father could track us here, you mean.
No, we can't go until I've got my stuff.
- We don't have time to help you. - You're not listening to me.
I can't make the next Cut without my equipment.
My equipment is gone. You see where I'm going with this?
No equipment, no Mercury, no blood.
- How are we supposed to get it back? - The door isn't damaged.
So, you know, whoever got in had a key, maybe.

[Gabriel in French] Where's Ruby?
I don't know. I haven't seen her for months.
[Gabriel] She robbed me.
She took my equipment.
No, it's not possible. Ruby would never do that.
She was a goddamn drug addict, okay?
She used to rob you. I used to dare her to.
It was a very funny game we played.
[woman] Well, look who's back.
[Gabriel] Nicky.
Hmm. Sit down and have a drink.
Who are your friends?
[Gabriel in English] They're cargo for Mercury, from the UK.
They're Blood Witches.
I didn't think there were any Bloods left in the UK.
Two less now.
- [chuckles, inhales] Hugo! - Hmm?
[Nicky] Pour some coffee. We've got a victim of crime here.
Gabriel, I was beginning to think I wouldn't see you again. What happened?
Ruby robbed me.
I always said I didn't trust her.
You literally never said that.
- [chuckling] - He's a terrible judge of character.
[Hugo] This will warm you up.
- Oh, no. I'm okay. - [grunts]
To the friends at our table!
And our enemies in the dark.
[Hugo] And the ones we love who hunt them.
[Nicky] It's been crazy since you left.
- [Gabriel] What's going on? - [gulps]
Word came over of some troubles from the UK.
- The Fairborns killed a load of Bloods. - The Bloods killed a load of Fairborns.
Which is good. Obviously.
[Hugo] Well, whoever started it, it was a spark.
Now, we hear the Fairborn Council puts their embassies on high alert.
All over Europe.
Why?
They're looking for someone.
Aren't you worried that the fains are gonna find out? Or the police?
Fains we can deal with, but the gendarmes.
One in ten is a Fairborn anyway.
Why stay if it's so dangerous?
You think we should leave our home because the Fairborns made it dangerous?
That's what led them to drive us here in the first place.
I'm done running.
You might be a refugee.
I don't want to be.
That's all very noble, but it doesn't help me get my shit back.
Agh, if Ruby has stolen gear,
there's only one place she's gonna take it.
- Oh, no, please God. - Aha!
- Don't make me go. - [Hugo laughs]
I can't bear the smell.
The smell of what?
SPECIAL SHOP MAGIC OBJECTS - BOUGHT AND SOLD
[flies buzzing]
[in French] Ah, Gabriel. I thought you were in London.
[in English] Yeah, I'm back. Has Ruby been here?
Ruby? No.
Monsieur and madam, would you care to browse?
I sell everything a pair of young witches could need.
[clattering]
Huh? Et voilà.
A love potion.
Not that either of you would need it. No.
[laughing]
How about this?
- A lot of magic in a lost instrument. - [Annalise] Oh!
Hey. Ruby.
- [man] I have no idea. How about this? - Please give me...
Bathe with this once a week.
And your enemies will suffer great misfortune.
[shouts] Okay, okay.
[grunting, panting]
She came to me about a month or so ago with a box of stuff to sell.
She didn't say it was stolen.
- [Gabriel] Where is it? - [groaning] One of my regulars bought it.
- Who? - [panting]
[in French] You really need it, huh?
Everything has a price. You know this.
I can give you the daughter of a Fairborn Hunter.
The girl?
What am I gonna do with a Fairborn Hunter's daughter?
- [Gabriel] Sell her back to them. - [man laughs] What, I'm a kidnapper now?
[Gabriel] No one gets hurt. She goes home, you get rich.
And I get what I want.
Wait here. Give me an hour.
I'll bring your stuff. No funny business.
- [grunts] - No funny business?
[panting]
- [in English] What's going on? - We reached an arrangement.
What do we do now then?
Wait patiently.
[light emotional music playing]
[Nathan] I got you something.
You mean you stole me something.
Yeah.
- Thank you. - [both laughing]
[Nathan] Never did get you a birthday present.
We'll get to Mercury, then go anywhere you want.
Just the two of us.
[Gabriel] Hey! Hey-o!
Do I need to throw a bucket of water at you?
- [both laugh] - [Gabriel] Now is not the time or place.
What, Paris?
[laughs]
Okay, it is the place, but it's not the time.
Gabriel.
Where is it?
There's a book. There's a little book that should be here.
[man] She never gave me a book.
- [Gabriel] You sure? - [man] Yes.
We good?
[in French] Deal's off. This isn't what I need.
[in English] You can't. You promised me the girl.
What?
- [in French] Forget the girl, okay? - Too late. I already cashed in.
- [Gabriel in English] Run. - What?
- Your friend sold you out. - Run!
- [panting] - [siren wailing]
[man in French] They went that way.
[blows]
- [blows] - [grunts]
[woman] Do you like that story, Gabriel?
Will you look after it for me?
[ethereal music playing]
In a minute, we're going to go outside.
I want you to stay very quiet and very close to me.
But if I tell you to run, then you do not stop.
Even if you see something awful.
Even if you see us in trouble.
Even if we call to you and beg you to come back for us.
Do you understand, Gabriel?
You run and don't stop.
- Yes. - [inhales]
Remember that you are very brave.
And that I love you very much.
[door opens]
[officer] We tested that stuff you had on you.
- Cocaine. - [sighs]
[officer] Amphetamines. Heroin.
You're in a lot of trouble.

So, I wasn't carrying any of that shit.
Maybe some amphetamines, but I don't think so.
[officer] Hmm.
[groans]
[officer] You're on our turf now, Gabriel.
[Gabriel sighs]
[officer] Mercury can't help you here.
But you can help yourself.
We're looking for your traveling companion.
The daughter of a Fairborn Hunter?
Come on, I was bullshitting.
You think I'd really travel with...
[officer] If you tell me where he is,
it could make what comes next less painful for you.

Huh?

[Soul] We're gonna have to be ruthless.

We won't all make it back.
But I think you will.
Because I think you can be ruthless, Jessica,
just like the best of us.

- Don't let us down. - [pirate sobs]

Hi.

[in French] We need him here.
We're taking him across town.
[officer] Not now you're not. His lawyer's here.
[officer 2] Lawyer?
[Hugo] Ah, there he is.
[clears throat] What are the charges against him?
Assaulting a police officer. Drug possession. Mm-hmm.
And what are the real charges?
You think we don't know what you're doing?
You think you're going to take another one of us
to disappear in your cells? No.
Mnh-mnh.
Not today.
Do you have any idea what you're getting involved in?
Who he's protecting?
- None of you are going to leave here. - [whooshing]
[muffled] What's going on?
He's using his power!
[grunts]

Ah, hello, Gabriel.
I had this all under control, you know.
[Hugo] Of course you did.

[Gabriel] Hey, Hugo, the keys.
[speaking gibberish]
[laughing]
[in English] I can't believe I'm breaking witches out
for the second day in a row.
[laughs] You wanna be careful. You're gonna get yourself a reputation.
Oh, yeah, what's that like, having a reputation?
[French hip-hop music playing]
- Has its moments. - [alarm blaring]
Shit.
- [Gabriel] Go, go, go! - Get in. Get in!
[engine turns over]
[Annalise] I passed my test, like, a month ago,
and I'm already getting in car chases.
- [inhales] Are they following us? - [gasps] Can't see anyone.
Take the next left.
[tires screech]
- [panting] - [brake ratchets]
[coughs]
- Thank you. - We only did it because we needed you.
Can you take us to Mercury? Now.
I still need my stuff.
Oh, my God! It's gone.
No, it's not.
I was just looking in the wrong place for it.
[upbeat French music playing]
I'll be five minutes.
Fuck it. We're here. We might as well get a drink.
[indistinct chatter]
[utensils clattering]
[keyboard clacking]
[in French] Thank you.
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh! We're gonna keep that. Thank you.
- [in English] To the friends at our table. - And our enemies in the dark.
[Hugo] To those that hunt them.
[coughs] Ahem.
Uh, how long does it take him to make the Cut once he's got his equipment?
Gabriel doesn't make the Cuts. They were made long ago.
What?
The doorway to Mercury is at the bar we met you at earlier.
[groans]
We could have gone through this morning instead of running all over Paris?
[chuckles] Yeah. Why? What did Gabriel tell you?
You stole from me.
You left me in a bar.
You ran away, and you left me.
And then you just... with no word.
Give it back.
'Cause I asked you to move in with me.
Just say no.
Just say, "No, Clark. I don't want that. I'm not ready."
How hard is that?
How hard is it to not ask the question?
You knew that wasn't my scene.
You knew that, but you asked it anyway because that's what you wanted.
Oh, sorry, "needed."
You needed to cross my boundaries. Well, fuck you. And give it back.
[emotional ethereal music playing]
I wish you worried about losing me like you worry about losing that book.
Why did you take it?
It was the only thing that would make you come looking for me.
- Added my name. - [exhales]
[Clark] I don't know why I bothered.
One day, Gabriel,
you're gonna find the guts to see something through to the end.
- Wha... What are you doing? - [Gabriel grunts]
- [blows] - [sniffles]
[sniffles, clears throat]
[sniffles]
Hi.
Sorry, can I help you?
No, I just got lost looking for the bathroom.
They're down the hall.
Thank you.
Uh, no problem.
Hmm.
- [Annalise] Blue Steel. Didn't you think? - [Nathan] I thought it was good. [grunts]
Get what you needed?
Yeah, we can go.
What was it then, that was so valuable?
Oh, my God. [laughing]
A children's book.
It's a first edition.
- Fuck you. - You lied to us about the Cut.
I bent the truth.
- What's so important about the book? - Someone important gave it to me.
Who?
I don't know. Can't remember.
We could have been safe with Mercury hours ago.
But instead, we've wasted a whole day here.
We're running from the Fairborn Council, from the Hunters,
from a murderous heart-eating psychopath.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. What murderous heart-eating psychopath?
[laughing]
[exhales] You're the son of Marcus Edge.
Excuse me, you're fucking what?
I'm the son of Marcus Edge.
Oh, Jesus Christ.
And the Fairborns are after you because...
"His own blood will kill the wolf."
A prophecy.
I'm supposed to kill my father.
Well, that is just fucking great.
That is just...
What happened to no more secrets?
Hmm?
[exhales] Marcus Edge? I should never have taken this job.
- It's fine by us if you want to leave. - Oh, I ought to.
[Nicky] If you want, we can take them through to Mercury.
We're going back to the bar anyway.
Sounds good to me.
Take them if you want to risk it. I'm out.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a life to get back to.
I wish you all the best.
Au revoir!
[Nicky] Don't worry about him.
Let's get you two where you need to go, hmm?
Mwah!
[in French] Let's go.
[in English, exhales] Come on.
