"The Knight's Turn." (footsteps approaching) Luthor: - Rodolphus? Rodolphus: - All exits and entryways to Saint Mungo's secured.
Speaker A
Guards posted with all healers. Luthor: - Excellent, and the lab? Rodolphus: - I've got Dolohov guarding Severus in the dungeon.
Speaker A
Luthor: - You have Dolohov guarding Severus? Rodolphus: - I didn't see the problem. Luthor: - That man nearly blew up this hospital before he captured it!
Speaker A
Snape's work is delicate enough not to be guarded by a hammer like Dolohov. Reassign him.
Speaker A
Rodolphus: - Very well. Nurse: - You can't do this. I need to help the injured.
Speaker A
Alecto: - I'm sorry, Mister Luthor, I'm taking her right to the dungeons for speaking up.
Speaker A
Luthor: - It's all right, Alecto. Nobody said you can't, madam, just only the ones we want you to help.
Speaker A
Luthor: - I'm not helping you. - You, put a wand on her, make sure she does as she's told.
Speaker A
Alecto: - Right away. Bellatrix: - Luthor! - Ah, Mrs. Lestrange. Bellatrix: - Bellatrix, we'll be fine.
Speaker A
What are we doing with this place? Luthor: - The Dark Lord has plans for it.
Speaker A
Bellatrix: - It has to do with that parchment he found, doesn't it? Luthor: - I couldn't possibly say, Bellatrix, you know that.
Speaker A
Bellatrix: - Whatever's going on, I need to be in the know. After what happened with the last raid, and my husband's performance in the field,
Speaker A
I seek an audience with the Dark Lord, so I may be more involved. Luthor: - I know your husband makes things difficult, Bellatrix, I sympathize.
Speaker A
What the Dark Lord has planned, it's too important to let out. But I promise, I will make sure you have an audience with him in due time.
Speaker A
Bellatrix: - Thank you, Luthor. (footsteps receding) (door opening) Luthor: - Evening, Amycus, enjoying your new office?
Speaker A
Amycus: - Very much so. Luthor: - Do you have that watch ready for me?
Speaker A
Amycus: - Oh, I do indeed. Just press the timer for the stopwatch and the confounders charm will take effect.
Speaker A
Luthor: - Brilliant. Have you seen Lucius? Amycus: - He's supposed to be with Narcissa at the ball, right?
Speaker A
Luthor: - Ah, yes, I remember. Well, I should be back soon. Amycus: - (laughs) Don't forget your mask.
Speaker A
(footsteps receding) (wind whooshing) (footsteps approaching) (door opening) Luthor: - Why does it have to be a loo?
Speaker A
Oh, the mask! (toilet water flushing) (footsteps approaching) Ministry Employee: - Are you sure these masks are a good idea?
Speaker A
Ministry Employee 2: - This is the minister's idea of defiance, it's not required, but they're checking everyone who goes to the ball.
Speaker A
So everything will be just fine. Ministry Employee: - I feel so nervous, you know. (indistinct)
Speaker A
(footsteps approaching) (wind whooshing) Minister for Magic: - Ladies and gentlemen, wizards and witches, I thank you all so much for being a part of our "Take Back The Mask" charity ball.
Speaker A
You have my deepest gratitude and patience with us, as security is understandably far tighter tonight.
Speaker A
Your contributions to the war effort will help keep hope in these dark times. (footsteps approaching) Luthor: - Knight to D three.
Speaker A
Hopefully that will help a bit, Arthur? Narcissa: - I do appreciate taking the time to talk about Lucius being on the Wizengamot, Mister Fudge.
Speaker A
Mr. Fudge: - Of course, Mrs. Malfoy. Narcissa: - Lucius and I were shocked after word about Luthor's betrayal.
Speaker A
We need to make sure we are choosing the most loyal among us to keep our world safe.
Speaker A
I know you have some pull with the minister. Mr. Fudge: - Yes, we are all terribly concerned about that.
Speaker A
Along with being on the Wizengamot, he was in charge of Record Keeping. Who knows what he's confounded?
Speaker A
Narcissa: - By the way, I wanted to speak to you about the Aurors working with this vigilante group, the Order of the Phoenix?
Speaker A
Are you sure that's a good idea? (door opening) (footsteps receding) (wind whooshing) (bell tinkles) Luthor: - Department of Mysteries.
Speaker A
Elevator: - Headed to Department. (screeching voice) Old Witch: - Uh, one moment! Would you mind?
Speaker A
Luthor: - Actually, I would, I'm in a bit of a hurry-- Old Witch: - Oh, I'm sure you can spare a moment, we're both going the same--
Speaker A
- Ah, huh...where was I going? Luthor: - Elsewhere! Elevator: - Before I was so rudely interrupted, headed to Department of Mysteries.
Speaker A
(owl hoots) Luthor: - I'm not a fan of those pomp and circumstance functions either.
Speaker A
(wind whooshing) (bell tinkles) (footsteps approaching) Moneta: - It's all right, Celeste darling, we'll find it.
Speaker A
Celeste: - You don't understand. It's only yesterday I found out one of my staff was an informant.
Speaker A
He's been sneaking around for months and what he stole, I didn't even know it existed until I realized it was missing.
Speaker A
How could anyone create a potion so terrible? - Just try to calm down, my love.
Speaker A
Do you have the copy? - Yes, from what I read, the ingredients are terribly difficult to find and it only works under certain conditions.
Speaker A
The planets have to be just in the right place and-- - I understand. But if they succeed at this,
Speaker A
- Wherever they decide to use it, it'd be utterly disastrous!
Speaker A
Thousands of wizards would be irreparably harmed, all areas would be vulnerable! Moneta: - All right.
Speaker A
Let's get the copy and see if we can get an expert or two to decipher it.
Speaker A
Maybe they can come up with something to counter it, should it be used. Celeste: - I'm sorry to put this on you now.
Speaker A
You should be enjoying the party upstairs. Moneta: - Oh, just a bunch of unnecessary pomp and circumstance.
Speaker A
My time with you is much better spent. Celeste: - Thank you, darling. Here we are. (wind whooshing) (door opens) Celeste: - Moneta, this cannot be in anyone else's hands.
Speaker A
- I'm terribly sorry, ladies. This will be over soon. Lucius: - I appreciate you letting me tag along, Minister.
Speaker A
Minister for Magic: - Please, make this quick, Mister Malfoy. There's something I received that was most urgent and... pardon...
Speaker A
Lucius: - As you know, I fully support the retaking of Saint Mungo's. I'm sure the Ministry will handle it soon.
Speaker A
I'm terribly sorry to hear about the administrator's death. Minister for Magic: - It was a tragedy.
Speaker A
Narcissa: - I'm curious if you might be open to a proposal for a replacement.
Speaker A
My wife Narcissa-- Elevator: - Excuse me, department? Luthor: - Oh, Atrium. (door closes) (elevator moves) (door opens) (bell tinkles) (footsteps approaching) (apparation sound) Luthor: - Right, you, I'm done with this portal, please close.
Speaker A
Dolohov: - Oh, do you have a problem with me? Luthor: - Dolohov. What are you still doing here?
Speaker A
Dolohov: - Answer the question. Luthor: - Your reputation precedes you. The Dark Lord puts you in charge of taking this hospital, and you nearly destroyed it.
Speaker A
Dolohov: - Yet, it still stands. Luthor: - We are to establish a new order, not tear it all down!
Speaker A
Dolohov: - Until I see annoying flies like the Prewetts gone, I'll tear down what I like.
Speaker A
Luthor: - You are relieved. I'm looking after Severus now. Dolohov: - You can't give me orders.
Speaker A
Luthor: - But I can inform the Dark Lord of your behavior. Dolohov: - Ha. Luthor: - Close the portal before you go.
Speaker A
(door opening) (door closes) Luthor: - Hello, Severus. Severus: - Professor. Luthor: - Luthor, how are you coming along?
Speaker A
Severus: - Almost finished, but this isn't easy at all. Luthor: - I see. Severus: - Aside from this parchment looking over 1,000 years old and nearly impossible to read,
Speaker A
the requirements are-- Luthor: - What? Severus: - I'd say it makes polyjuice potion look like a second-year's task by comparison.
Speaker A
Luthor: - Well, we managed all the ingredients and based on your reputation, I'm sure you can handle it.
Speaker A
Severus: - What it says it does... Are you sure this is what the Dark Lord wants?
Speaker A
Luthor: - I'm as sure as anything. Severus: - Because if this is used improperly, or in the wrong place, thousands of wizards--
Speaker A
Luthor: - I know. That's why I trust you with it. Severus: - Thank you, sir. Luthor: - Do you mind if I take a moment here?
Speaker A
Severus: - Not at all. Luthor: - B
Speaker A
I had you face James Potter. SEVERUS - Yes, I remember that day. LUTHOR - I always thought you showed such impressive restraint.
Speaker A
SEVERUS - I want to make sure I got good marks. LUTHOR - But there was a moment there where you almost had him.
Speaker A
I was just curious, did you-- SEVERUS - I did direct the counter curse to just miss him, yes.
Speaker A
LUTHOR - It must have been a good feeling. The look on his face- SEVERUS - Was priceless.
Speaker A
But, I knew I would face discipline if I injured him. LUTHOR - The night you defeated him, that feeling, it must have been amplified.
Speaker A
You had a chance to kill him, why didn't you? SEVERUS - I almost did.
Speaker A
You think I should have? LUTHOR - I think James is extraordinary in his own right.
Speaker A
And is a pure blood. So I'd rather you didn't. But, I'd understand if you had.
Speaker A
SEVERUS - I felt it wasn't right. For, the reasons you mentioned. LUTHOR - I see.
Speaker A
SEVERUS - Pardon me, I have to concentrate on this for a moment. - Of course. (liquid trickling) LUTHOR - I heard Lily Evans was working here for a while.
Speaker A
SEVERUS - And? LUTHOR - Well, she joined the order recently. SEVERUS - Is that right?
Speaker A
LUTHOR - What do you think about her, joining us, when all this is over?
Speaker A
SEVERUS - I doubt she would. But, hopefully one day, she'll understand. LUTHOR - She's important to you, yes?
Speaker A
- Sometimes I wonder if people like her understand what they're fighting for. I wonder when this is over, if they'll ever see things differently?
Speaker A
SEVERUS - Probably not. LUTHOR - What are you fighting for, Severus? SEVERUS - Just a moment.
Speaker A
Ah, there, now just needs some time. If I did it, right. LUTHOR - I'm sure you did.
Speaker A
- I suppose we can get back upstairs and keep guard. LUTHOR - What about my question?
Speaker A
SEVERUS - Luthor, I, LUTHOR - It's all right, Severus. SEVERUS - This stays between us.
Speaker A
LUTHOR - Of course. SEVERUS - I don't honestly know yet. The pureblood take, well, my father is a muggle.
Speaker A
LUTHOR - Yes. SEVERUS - The Dark Lord must know that. - Yet. - He takes me in, for now.
Speaker A
I'm not sure what would happen later. LUTHOR - I believe he values loyalty, just as much.
Speaker A
Are you unsure of that? SEVERUS - No. I'm sure of that. LUTHOR - So where are your doubts?
Speaker A
SEVERUS: I'm... LUTHOR - I know you and Lily were once close. SEVERUS - Yes.
Speaker A
LUTHOR - And you would get that back if you could, SEVERUS - If I could.
Speaker A
LUTHOR - Perhaps we can. SEVERUS - Sir? LUTHOR - It is vital to take stock, of what's most important in this world.
Speaker A
When I lost my wife I lost something of myself. And I made choices. I might not have, if she were still here.
Speaker A
SEVERUS - Knowing what we are about to do, do you feel what you are doing is right?
Speaker A
LUTHOR - Without question. But w hat about you, Severus? Do you feel you are doing the right thing?
Speaker A
What choices would you make if Lily were part of your life now? (muffled explosions) SEVERUS - What was...?
Speaker A
LUTHOR - We're under attack! SEVERUS - I need to get the potion to the Dark Lord.
Speaker A
LUTHOR - No, I need you up there. SEVERUS - But what about-- LUTHOR - You're one of our best wands, I'll keep it safe.
Speaker A
SEVERUS - Professor! LUTHOR - I'll be right here with it, go, now. Go! (running footsteps) Right. Bombard- (apparation) ALASTOR: Expelliarmus!
Speaker A
LUTHOR - Alastor Moody! - Luthor... LUTHOR - AVADA K- ALASTOR - REDUCTO! (running footsteps) ALASTOR - AHH MY LEG! LUTHOR - AHH!
Speaker A
RODOLPHUS - Luther, what happened? - This feels strange. LUTHOR - My arm! RODOLPHUS - He's been splinched!
Speaker A
You! Move him out! BELLATRIX - KEEP PUSHING FORWARD! DOLOHOV - RIP THEM APART! ALICE - That's Alastor!
Speaker A
FRANK - We have to get him! ALICE - Cover me! FRANK - Careful, Alice!
Speaker A
ALASTOR - Alice... ALICE - I got you Moody! RODOLPHUS - Kill him while he's down! AVADA- FRANK - Stupefy!
Speaker A
ALICE - Be right back! DOLOHOV - Push forward! BELLATRIX - I'm going ahead! DOLOHOV - Right with you!
Speaker A
DOLOHOV - Someone get Luther! ALECTO: - I got him! - No, - I need to get back down-- ALECTO - We can't lose, you Luthor!
Speaker A
LUTHOR - Leave me be! ALECTO - Here we go! LUTHOR - Nooooo! ALECTO - There we are.
Speaker A
LUTHOR - You IDIOT! I needed to retrieve something important. ALECTO - I'm sorry, sir.
Speaker A
But I couldn't let you get captured. LUTHOR - Can someone heal me up? ALECTO - I'll find someone, need a tailor, too?
Speaker A
LUTHOR - Just go! - She was right. (running footsteps) - Severus! SEVERUS - I can mend that.
Speaker A
LUTHOR - Why aren't you in the fight? SEVERUS - Let me see. LUTHOR - You continue to surprise, my friend.
Speaker A
SEVERUS - Thank you sir. And I have good news. LUTHOR - Is that so?
Speaker A
SEVERUS - A few Aurors headed down to the dungeons at Saint Mungo's, They were trying to get the potion.
Speaker A
LUTHOR - How would they know about that? SEVERUS - I don't know. But, I took care of it.
Speaker A
LUTHOR - You did? SEVERUS - Handed the potion to the Dark Lord. It's safe.
Speaker A
LUTHOR - Well, good to know. Well done, Snape. You wouldn't be able to fix this tunic, would you?
Speaker A
SEVERUS - I probably could? LUTHOR - That's fine, I'll do it myself. Now, if you would give me a moment alone.
Speaker A
SEVERUS - Yes, sir. (footsteps receding) (door closing) (apparation) LUTHOR - Hello? (cooing sound) Ah, hello there.
Speaker A
Where's your master? DUMBLEDORE - What are you doing here? LUTHOR - Good evening, Professor Dumbledore.
Speaker A
DUMBLEDORE - Good evening, Professor Frumentar. Now answer my question, please. LUTHOR - I'm afraid, we have a problem.
