The Golden Compass (2007) Edit

A bear's armour is his soul...

A friend of the college.

A golden compass...

A little cut, and gone forever.

A long, long time ago...

A regiment of Tartars with wolf dæmons guards it.

A world much like ours in a parallel universe coexisting with our own.

Aaah!

Aaah!

Aah!

Aah!

About the Gyptian party heading to the North.

About the king of the bears wanting a dæmon?

After we save your father.

Against the effects of Dust.

Ah, he did. Oh.

Ah, Lord Asriel.

Ah! For one thing, she is in possession of the alethiometer.

Ah. Ha ha ha.

Ah. That is the magisterial seat, Lyra.

Ain't nothin' to play about when children go missing.

Airship machinery's kind offinicky.

All right, all right, you ain't a lady.

All right.

All right.

All right. Bring it with you tonight.

All washed and ready for bed?

Allow Lord Asriel to explain.

Also known as a golden compass.

An alethiometer.

An armoured bear?

And and better in every way.

And a good thing too.

And an armoured bear.

And anyway, my mother's the one who put the curse...

And as Master of Jordan, you must force him...

And even some where there is no Magisterium...

And ever since then, we have been sick with it, we've been sick with Dust.

And forbade the very mention of Dust.

And he had sauce in his beard.

And he will stop at nothing to get one.

And he's still gone.

And how could you be so far from him, hmm?

And how has the exile...

And I'll tell you something I probably shouldn't

And Iorek.

And it burns you alive!

And it isn't like the Magisterium's...

And it wasn't until things changed...

And it's troubled by a ghost.

And just as soon as you've helped us, we'll send you back home.

And learn about Dust and everything.

And let me drink till I was asleep.

And look.

And Lord Asriel will be silenced...

And Lyra was supposed to show up with the gown.

And my father.

And my mind will flow into your mind.

And no Authority.

And now I will take you to Bolvangar.

And only one who can read it.

And pinned to the spring of it is a bad spirit...

And running all this way.

And Serafina Pekkala and Mr. Scoresby.

And she did.

And she wanted to keep you...

And she's still only a child.

And so you were taken from her.

And some people don't.

And that is how children begin to have all sorts of nasty thoughts...

And that is what made Dust come into the world.

And that it would be best ifwe were free to do as we pleased.

And the baby.

And the bears of the ice.

And these are the chiefs of the Gyptian families.

And this old gal is Hester.

And those other kids.

And unhappy feelings and

And was defeated.

And we witches live for hundreds of years.

And we won't have to worry about Dust.

And we'll never get away to rescue those kids.

And what they're doing with them there, we don't know...

And when the time comes to punish...

And without my armour, I cannot go to war.

And you'll never have a dæmon.

And you're notjust anyone, Lyra.

And you're safe with me.

And your hair.

And your uncle only left you 'ere 'cause nobody wanted you.

And, uh, Authorities.

And...the pot could mean a recipe or a plan.

Anywhere's better than here.

Apparently you're impossible to educate.

Are close to perfecting the inoculation...

Are you familiarwith the prophesies of the witches?

Are you getting scared, Pan?

Are you going North again?

As a matter offact...

As animal spirits we call dæmons.

As long as you try it on.

As your dæmon is your soul.

Ask it how we're gonna get out of here.

Ask me something only you know.

ASRIEL: Let's not be s so hasty.

Bears, who is your king?

Before anyone knew , couldn't you?

Before their dæmons settle...

Besides, they don't tell people what to do...

Bet you didn't know that, did you?

Billy Costa told me.

Billy Costa, why didn't you write anything?

Billy, come on with me.

BILLY: A bet's a bet...

BILLY: Faster!

BILLY: What mother?

BILLY: Why ain't nothin' happened to you, then?

Billy!

Billy.

Billy. Billy Costa.

Birds do not fly above.

Both Gyptian and landloper alike.

BOY: Billy, don't!

BOY: Come on! Come on! Hurry!

BOY: Well done, Billy!

Bring him to his death.

But connecting them all is Dust.

But enough of that for now.

But every world in every universe.

But grown ups' dæmons can't.

But he is one of the foremost experts on particle metaphysics.

But I do not.

But if Asriel finds a way to travel between worlds...

But if they have been harmed...

But if you fight, you'll kill them.

But is there anything else you can tell us?

But it came round to it on the second time.

But not here.

But now I'm just disappointed.

But once they call a kid in...

But she was always telling me what to do.

But sometimes you must do what others think...best.

But that's not light.

But the adults are, because kids keep disappearin'.

But the ruling power, fearing any truth but their own...

But the secrets at the heart of things elude scholars...

But there is a way to stop it.

But this lets you glimpse things as they are.

But we have heard terrible rumor.

But we've got to, though, ain't we?

But what if the coward dare not fight me?

But while he is at Jordan, his proposal will be heard.

But why did you do it?

But why they don't offer more ice with their drinks...

But why would it

But you don't do what you're told.

But you must defeat him in single combat.

But you mustn't repeat that.

But you see...

But you, you're powerful and clever and rich...

But you've been fighting...

But, Lyra, keep the alethiometer to yourself.

But...can't you make new armour?

But...you told the Master you did whatever you pleased.

By pointing at three symbols...

Can I come with you?

Can I go up in your ship?

Can I try?

Can she read it?

Child.

Clan queen of the witches of Lake Enara.

Come 'ere and say that.

Come 'ere.

Come in real resourceful up in these parts.

Come on, quick.

Come on!

Come on! Run!

Come, little dæmon.

Come!

Could you stay by the door, Mrs. Lonsdale?

Course.

Course. But everybody would go looking for you if you was Gobbled.

Crossin' this gate...

Cuttin' away kids' dæmons.

Destroyed these devices...

Did you get the money you needed?

Did you put it in here to keep it saf e?

Did you see her dæmon?

Didn't have the first notion on how to spring ya.

Do we not?

Do you know I've met Lord Asriel?

Do you remember the first experiments...

Do you understand me?

Don't answer that.

Don't be silly. I want to look around.

Don't fret none, Lyra.

Don't look down.

Don't worry.

Don't worry. I've got a plan, all right?

Don't you knowwhat this gate is?

Don't, Billy.

Drinking whisky?

Dust is flowing into this man through his dæmon...

Dust ws here before the witches of the air...

Dust?

Even the Samoyeds fear it.

Even though she loved you very much and...

Ever since you left Jordan College, watchin' over you.

Every Samoyed bandit from here to the Pole to hunt us down.

Except, of course, my dæmon...

Farder Coram wishes to know...

FARDER CORAM: Iorek Byrnison?

Fightin', probably.

For these Gobblers.

Fortunately, little girls...

From a city in another world.

From Jordan College and then let her slip away.

From the letters, G O B.

From there, and from a billion other worlds, Dust flows.

G O B.

Gave me spirits...

General...Oblation Board.

Give her a fright, that's all.

Go back in there.

Go on, I mean.

Go on, then.

Go on.

Go to the North?

Gobblers.

Gonna get you!

Good one to have on your side in a scrap.

Gracious god, what's this?

Great king, let me speak to him.

Gyptians.

Ha ha ha. Bears don't have them, you see, and, uh, Ragnar...

Ha ha, I'd be honored.

Ha ha. Are you ready?

Ha ha. But I disagree, Master.

Ha ha. Let me deal with Asriel.

Ha ha. They'll seek her out like bees to honey.

Hah!

Hah!

Hasn't settled yet.

Have him killed any other way, and I'll just go out like a light...

Have I taught you what a particle is?

Have you seen her?

He doesn't have a dæmon.

He gave you an alethiometer, didn't he?

He has bribed his captors and set up a secret laboratory...

He likes to think of himself as a person...

He lost everything.

He remembered you were partial to it.

He uses me as a spy sometimes.

He was young and beautiful once.

He went all sharp when you mentioned Dust.

He's a rough noble like you. That's what I think.

He's on his way here now, to fight you.

He's such a bore, isn't he?

He'sjust an exile, nothing.

Heard you ran into a little local trouble.

Heh.

Hello, Lyra.

Hello?

Here it is.

Here, take Lyra. Gyptians, to arms!

Here's my daughter! Come here!

Hm.

Hm. But she shut up the Master, all right.

Hmm, perhaps we shouldn't have invited Professor Docker.

Hmm? Ah!

Hmm.

Hold her!

Hold the question in your mind, but lightly.

How ? Ah, yes. The Master.

How can you know such things?

How did I become king?

How do you do, Lord Faa?

How several children managed to wander free from the station.

How'd you come by somethin' like that?

Howdy, Iorek. I was down South.

Hunt, the lights.

HUNT: The professor a really hard time.

Hurry up, Roger, or they'll Gobble you!

Hush, Pan.

I I hope you'll understand th that the question is moot.

I ain't heard rumor of any war.

I am Iorek Byrnison's dæmon.

I am relieved to hear that.

I bet you don't like it either. I can tell.

I can't, Roger.

I confess I am puzzled by your interest in the Belacqua girl.

I do beg pardon.

I do love it.

I don't know.

I don't know. Maybe Uncle Asriel knows.

I don't knowwhat to put in the letter, miss.

I don't like people telling me what to do.

I don't like to see you wearing it indoors.

I don't want to.

I feel you are meant to have it.

I fought another bear in single combat...

I hate her!

I hate them!

I have to go back to the North very soon.

I heard that bears lived to hunt and to fight.

I heard them Gobblers take you down to hell.

I heard you was an orphink...

I knew that no one could ever really truly understand me...

I knew you'd come.

I know I would feel ashamed...

I lift heavy objects.

I mean the Dust from space.

I mend broken machinery.

I need Ratter.

I need to be alone someplace.

I owe you a debt.

I promise you...

I promised, didn't I?

I reckon not.

I saw that man from the Magisterium...

I see your dæmon still changes shape.

I shall never understand.

I should think so.

I speak for the Magisterium.

I stay because the people of this town...

I think I will retire for the evening.

I thought bears were good at that.

I told the king I was your dæmon and that he must fight you.

I told the king I was your dæmon and that he must fight you.

I want to die in a rocking chair, not a hydrogen fire.

I want to knowwhat Dust is.

I want to say goodbye to Roger.

I want to see the ice bears and glaciers...

I want to thank you.

I was ever so excited, and scared.

I was sent away from Svalbard because I was unworthy.

I will find you.

I will make sure the way is clear.

I will not live in shame any longer, Scoresby.

I wnt to know if you can tell me...

I would never hurt you.

I, at least, have some good news.

I'd come and rescue you.

I'd hire myself an aeronaut...

I'd like to give you a word of advice...

I'll bring her back. I can bargain with Ragnar.

I'll drop you at the border, pick you up on the way out.

I'll find her.

I'll find you.

I'll get you first!

I'll not dispense with centuries oftolerance and free inquiry.

I'll only be a moment, darling.

I'll prove it. I'll steal it.

I'll steal any old scholar's gown.

I'm afraid your parents will be disappointed.

I'm afraid.

I'm going to need an assistant.

I'm going to tell you something.

I'm gonna take her down, pick up the trail.

I'm like a witch's dæmon, great king.

I'm Lyra. And this is Pan.

I'm not sure that would be consistent with...

I'm right here. Step quickly.

I'm supposed to be keeping an eye on them Gobblers

I'm sure he will.

I'vejust saved your life.

If he succeeds in proving the existence of these other worlds...

If I might borrow dear Lyra.

If I was on the kinda...scout...

If I weren't such a coward, where would you be?

If not, they would never let you fight.

If they are flying to the aid of your enemies...

If they have been harmed...

If you are his dæmon...

If you defeat him, I will become your dæmon.

If you do that, I can never be your dæmon.

If you value your lives, come no further.

If you value your lives, come no further.

If you was taken by the Gobblers...

If you was to crack it open...

Ifwe can protect our children from the corrupting influence of Dust...

Impossible.

In my world, scholars invented an alethiometer...

In Svalbard...

In the furthest reaches of the North.

In the next valley, there's a lake with a house by it...

In the Retiring Room already.

In your own home.

Inter...cision.

Intercision isn't perfect yet...

Intercision.

Invisible, intangible, inaccessible!

Iorek Byrnison was the first bear to get a dæmon

IOREK BYRNISON: It's the only way to reach Bolvangar.

Iorek Byrnison!

Iorek Byrnison?

Iorek Byrnison? Iorek Byrnison.

Iorek Byrnison.

Iorek Byrnison...

Iorek, dear, I've done a terrible thing.

Iorek, I thought I'd lost you.

IOREK: Lyra! I will get Scoresby and the Gyptians.

IOREK: No.

IOREK: There.

IOREK: Witches.

Iorek!

Iorek?

Irreplaceable.

Is first to go North and to rescue these children...

Is it dangerous?

Is that all?

Is that all? Huh?

Is that all...

Is that all...

Is that what they pay you?

Is the truth.

Is there anything you may have forgot?

Is worse than touching someone's dæmon...

It could be an aberration or malfunction of some kind.

It enables you to see what others wish to hide.

It is a place...

It is a week's march from Trollesund, on the coast of Norroway.

It is of the utmost importance...

It may not hold us both.

It must have been one of the scholars at Jordan.

It must have been terrible to lose your armour.

It says I'm bringing him what he needs.

It was given to the college by Lord Asriel many years ago.

It was no less than I deserved.

It wasn't allowed.

It wasn't really his to give.

It will contradict centuries of teaching.

It ws Mrs. Coulter who took the Belacqua child...

It's a spy fly.

It's a truth measurer.

It's a truth measurer.

It's absurd to be carrying around a shoulder bag...

It's all clear.

It's better that I've sent Mrs. Coulter after the child.

It's called the Experimental Station.

It's cold up there.

It's dirty work.

It's for you, Lyra.

It's important that I know if I ws followed.

It's in the district office of the Magisterium.

It's later, when your dæmon begins to settle...

It's not surprising.

It's something to do with the Gobblers and Roger.

It's telling me about my father.

It's the back door to your stupid college.

It's time to go home.

It's warm and comfortable in here.

It'sjust a toy.

Jordan is my home.

Just as soon as I get her out of hock.

Just don't mention it again.

Just gonna let us go home to Jordan just like that...

Just let them try to stop us.

Kaisa can fly a long way from me.

Keep it that way.

King Ragnar is desperate to have a dæmon of his own.

Kingdom of the ice bears.

Kiss me.

Lady...

LEE SCORESBY: Careful now, boys.

LEE: Come on! Get down, men!

LEE: Samoyeds don't take kindly to trespassers.

LEE: Well, they're all tucked in back there.

Let me see you read it.

Let me take you back to your mum.

Let's find a robe and get out of here.

Li like it was something alive.

Lightning bolt...

Like Billy and them other kids that lost their dæmons. We've got to help them.

Like Dust.

Like now, for instance.

Look at it.

Look, Pan, it's got loads of pictures round the edge.

Lord Asriel has been a good friend to the Gyptians...

Lord Asriel is an eminent fellow of the college.

Lord Asriel. He's my father, isn't he?

Lord Asriel. Mrs. Coulter and them

Lord Asriel's wishes for her education.

LORD FAA: Could it be used to find the missing children?

LORD FAA: Gyptians! To me!

LORD FAA: Ha ha ha.

LORD FAA: We don't know.

Lovely to meet you.

Lucky you. Just in time for dinner.

Lyr

Lyra Belacqua, get down off them roofs!

Lyra Belacqua.

LYRA WHISPERS: Bolvangar.

Lyra, child, what have you found?

Lyra, if I am killed...

Lyra, put it away now.

Lyra, this is Mrs. Coulter...

Lyra, we've got to go.

LYRA, WHISPERING: That's just it, Pan. There's too many of them for him to fight.

Lyra, you're not listening to me.

LYRA: 'Cause we live 'ere.

LYRA: And she was ever so clever, Mrs. Coulter...

LYRA: Are you afraid?

LYRA: Hello?

LYRA: I I got lost in the snow. Where am I?

LYRA: Ice bears, Pan.

LYRA: Lord Faa...

LYRA: Lovely to meet you too.

LYRA: Oh.

LYRA: Pan.

LYRA: Where are we going?

LYRA: Yeah. I suppose.

LYRA: You're not very grateful, are you?

Lyra!

Lyra!

Lyra! Wait!

Lyra.

Lyra.

Lyra.

Lyra.

Lyra. Darling.

Lyra. Lyra Belacqua.

MA COSTA: Billy! Oh oh oh! [Gasping]

MA COSTA: It's all right.

MA COSTA: To see Lord Faa, King of the Gyptians.

Ma Costa.

Made a terrible mistake.

MAN, OUTSIDE: Right, boys, get your heads up!

MAN: Come on, come on! SECOND MAN: Hurry!

MAN: Come on! This way!

MAN: Get her!

MAN: Hello, there.

MAN: Howfar do you reckon?

MAN: Look out, Lyra!

MAN: No need to worry, my child.

MAN: Understand this, Sister Clara, they're not registered

MAN: Wouldn't want to get on the wrong side of her. I tell you that.

MAN: You want to grow up, don't you?

Master ahem I was wondering...

Master, gentlemen, I shall get straight to the point.

MASTER: Ahem. Mrs. Coulter.

MASTER: I fear our defiance will not go unpunished...

MASTER: Lyra, my dear...

May I introduce, um, Fra Pavel of the Magisterium?

Maybe we shouldn't be doing this.

Maybe we're supposed to go to that other world with my father and find out.

Me too.

Mirabile dictu, gentlemen.

Miss Lyra, are you ready to fly?

Miss Lyra...

Mm.

Mm. It ws at the Royal Arctic Institute.

More than I have ever seen.

Most of the time, I ply my trade up in the sky.

Mr. Scoresby, help Iorek!

MRS. COULTER: Lyra, where are you?

MRS. COULTER: Lyra.

MRS. COULTER: Well, it was a stylish enough party...

Mrs. Coulter...

My armour is made of sky iron...

My dad and uncles, they took me north.

My dear fellow...

My friend. He works in the kitchens.

My lord.

My name is Serafina Pekkala...

My Uncle Asriel said he'd take me to the North next time he goes. He swore it.

My...dæmon?

N no animal or insect, at any rate.

Night porter's bound to be doin' his rounds.

No matter. One way or another...

No one is going to hurt you. No one is ever...

No, I ain't.

No, I shall call you Lyra Silvertongue.

No, it is no aberration.

No, it isn't.

No! You can't be!

No. I will not leave her.

No. Stay here.

Nonetheless, she must be found.

North?

Not that you're lookin' for that.

Not the Master and scholars and porters combined, right?

Nothing but us...

Nothing will stop them from trying to take over.

Nothing.

Now be a good girl and do what you're told.

Now put it away at once.

Now she'll be drawn into it.

Now you try and behave.

Now, darling...

Now, I almost forgot.

Now...

Of course not.

Of the Coulter woman.

Of the Gyptian persuasion.

Of the ice bears of Svalbard.

Of the utmost importance.

Official business.

Oh, a friend of mine got himself in a fix.

Oh, Billy! You're all right, Billy.

Oh, I know about particles.

Oh, I'd never.

Oh, Iorek.

Oh, Lord. Lee, when you gonna learn to mind your own business?

Oh, no.

Oh, no. It's them.

Oh, Pan, they've really hurt him.

Oh, you do want to come to the North with me, don't you?

Oh, you have been living in an ivory tower, haven't you?

Oh, you'll like it.

Oh!

Oh! Oh!

Oh! We'll find your dæmon.

Oh?

OK.

On this gate in the first place.

On top of the hourglass...

Once you got your question framed...

One that will never question our authority again.

One way or another.

Only for a while, of course.

Or don't they teach Gyptian children to write?

Or else...

Or leave off ordering people about.

Or rather, my greetings and not his.

Or spying.

Or you have a victory.

Our aim...

Our greetings to you, great king.

Ow!

Ow.

Paid work!

Pan, I need you to hide.

Pan, it's her. She's running the Gobblers.

Pan, where are they taking us?

PANTALAIMON WHISPERS: Gobblers!

PANTALAIMON, WHISPERING: Don't worry. Iorek will come.

PANTALAIMON, WHISPERING: I guess we lost that bet.

PANTALAIMON, WHISPERING: Maybe this isn't such a good idea.

PANTALAIMON: But what do they all mean?

PANTALAIMON: Can you see him? Is he here?

PANTALAIMON: Don't tell him who we are.

PANTALAIMON: Don't worry, Lyra.

PANTALAIMON: Ha!

PANTALAIMON: Hurry, Lyra!

PANTALAIMON: I don't know. We've been going for hours.

PANTALAIMON: I don't like the look of this place.

PANTALAIMON: I wish you'd listen to me once in a while.

PANTALAIMON: I'm all right.

PANTALAIMON: It wasn't my fault. She wouldn't listen to me.

PANTALAIMON: Lyra, no, please don't.

PANTALAIMON: Lyra!

PANTALAIMON: Lyra!

PANTALAIMON: Lyra!

PANTALAIMON: No, stop!

PANTALAIMON: No! Lyra!

PANTALAIMON: Not very friendly, are they?

PANTALAIMON: Oh, Lyra.

PANTALAIMON: Oh!

PANTALAIMON: Over here.

PANTALAIMON: Run! Lyra, let's go! Go!

PANTALAIMON: What do you think makes the needle move?

PANTALAIMON: Who's going to help us?

PANTALAIMON: Yeah, uh ha ha.

Pantalaimon.

Parallel to each other.

Perhaps you've made a mistake.

Please, Mrs. Coulter.

Pour some powder into the wine.

Prove it.

Prove to me that you are a dæmon.

Put it away.

Quick, Lyra!

Ragnar and the rest of 'em will tear you to pieces.

Ragnar Sturlusson.

Ragnar's too strong.

Ratter, check if the coast is clear.

Really quite surprising.

Right here in Trollesund.

Rise, Fra Pavel.

Roger and me's been huntin' Gobblers.

Roger, do you know what they do to the kids here?

Roger, I promise...

ROGER: I told you they wouldn't let her out ofthe college.

ROGER: Leave me alone!

ROGER: They hardly ever use this one, but be quick.

Roger? Who's Roger?

Rubbish. Hand him over.

Run, Roger!

Samoyed lands.

Scared?

Scoresby will find you.

SCORESBY: Let's not be too hasty.

SECOND MAN: All right, then. Split up. The girl can't be far.

SECOND MAN: Come on, get yourself aboard.

SECOND MAN: Don't know. I'll have a look.

SECOND MAN: Get it!

SECOND MAN: Oh, I don't know for sure, but a good f ew miles.

SECOND MAN: Put your back into it!

SECOND MAN: You, cover the canal.

See ya later, then.

SERAFINA PEKKALA: There are many universes and many earths...

SERAFINA: Are you the girl the Magisterium seeks?

SERAFINA: So many worlds...

Shall you help me arrange our passage to Norroway?

She and them Gobblers took my little boy Billy.

She can't possibly be a threat to them.

She is to demonstrate the improvements...

She is.

She likes to show off her new pet, doesn't she?

She wasn't married to your father, and even though

She will decide the war which is to come.

She's meant to play a major part in what is to come.

She's never taking us to the North.

She's positively ghoulish.

She's worth more in one piece.

SISTER CLARA: Thank you, children. Finish your letters now.

Sit down, gentlemen.

So here he is.

So I come to see what I could do about it.

So now all the clans are here...

So?

Some where dæmons have no men.

Something very important, something you don't know.

Soon you'll be mine.

Spread out. Search all the buildings.

Stay close to me.

Stop being such a coward.

Stop!

Subjects that you well, you never speak about.

Sugar?

Svalbard.

Take it back, or we ain't best mates no more!

Tell the kids to have their warm clothes ready.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you. Um, could you

That Dust begins to swarm all around us...

That Dust, like in the North.

That give you the answer.

That I reckon you're on...

That is all.

That is heresy.

That is why Mrs. Coulter's work is so important.

That kind of courage could get you killed.

That little girl's somethin', huh?

That may be so, but I am very interested in discovering...

That means kids.

That Mrs. Coulter does not know that you have it.

That she went to Jordan College and she spoke to the Master.
