'Alchemy' by Clive Nolan
Prolog: (Rok 1842, gdzie艣 w Alpach; W艂ochy)
S艂ycha膰 strza艂!
Echo wystrza艂u rozbrzmiewa po g贸rach. Cia艂o m臋偶czyzny spada w przepa艣膰. Lord
Henry Jagman stoi z wci膮偶 dymi膮cym pistoletem w d艂oni. Jego wsp贸艂towarzysz,
Benjamin Greaves, pospiesznie zwija ob贸z. Jagman rozmy艣la nad obecnym stanem
rzeczy. Nareszcie ma ju偶 to, czego potrzebuje do osi膮gni臋cia celu. Pozostaje tylko
poprawne odczytanie wskaz贸wek.
Trzeba jedynie czasu!
AKT I
Scena 1: (Cela w londy艅skim wi臋zieniu Newgate - 艣wiat艂o ksi臋偶yca prze艣wituje
przez kraty)
Od wydarze艅 w Alpach min臋艂y miesi膮ce.
Amelia Darvas marnieje w wi臋ziennej celi. Matka jej zmar艂a przy porodzie, a
ojciec, ofiara niew艂a艣ciwych decyzji finansowych, wkr贸tce doprowadzi艂 rodzin臋 do
bankructwa, a sam zgin膮艂 w pojedynku. Przedtem jednak powierzy艂 Amelii raczej
niezwyk艂y sekret - po艂o偶enie podziemnego labiryntu. Amelia zosta艂a bez 艣rodk贸w do
偶ycia, a za d艂ugi ojca trafi艂a do wi臋zienia Newgate bez nadziei na pomoc znik膮d.
Zosta艂a na 艣wiecie ca艂kiem sama.
Tego wieczora odwiedza j膮 Jagman z propozycj膮 uwolnienia i sp艂acenia wszystkich
jej d艂ug贸w w zamian za informacj臋 o po艂o偶eniu Labiryntu. Amelia wyjawia
Jagmanowi tajemnic臋. Labirynt mie艣ci si臋 w lasach Schwarzwaldu w Zwi膮zku
Niemieckim, w miejscu zwanym Ksi臋偶ycow膮 Polan膮. Uzyskawszy cenne wskaz贸wki,
Jagman porzuca Ameli臋 w celi, drwi膮c z jej naiwno艣ci. U偶ywa te偶 swych wp艂yw贸w,
aby oskar偶ono Ameli臋 o zdrad臋 i stracono na szubienicy.
Scena 2: (Przed wi臋zieniem Newgate - przd szubienic膮 zebra艂 si臋 t艂um gapi贸w)
Kilka dni p贸zniej Amelia oczekuje na egzekucj臋. Jest rozgoryczona lecz dumna.
Przeklina Jagmana i zaprzysi臋ga zemst臋 w tym lub kolejnym 偶yciu. Nagle s艂ycha膰
wybuch i o艣lepiaj膮cy dym roznosi si臋 w powietrzu. Dwie postacie w kapturach
zmierzaj膮 ku szubienicy. Nieco dalej, kolejny zamaskowany m臋偶czyzna bacznie
obserwuje sytuacj臋. Po艣r贸d panuj膮cego chaosu Amelia zostaje uwolniona. Z
pomoc膮 trzech tajemniczych postaci, skrywa si臋 z dala od prze艣ladowc贸w.
Scena 3: (Na mo艣cie Southwark)
Ca艂a czw贸rka dociera do mostu Southwark. Profesor Samuel King, William Gardelle
i Eva Bonaduce zdejmuj膮 przebrania i przedstawiaj膮 si臋. Profesor wyja艣nia kim s膮 i
pr贸buje nakre艣li膰 powag臋 sytuacji. Dowiaduje si臋 te偶, 偶e Jagman zna ju偶 po艂o偶enie
Labiryntu. Amelia kipi nienawi艣ci膮 i 偶膮dz膮 zemsty; jest nieufna i wroga. Eva
przywo艂uje j膮 do porz膮dku t艂umacz膮c kim jest Profesor King. To w艂a艣nie Eva
znalaz艂a ci臋偶ko rannego Profesora we W艂oszech. Wyratowa艂a go od niechybnej
艣mierci i przyrzek艂a towarzyszy膰 mu w wype艂nieniu zadania powstrzymania
Jagmana.
Opuszczaj膮 most. William Gardelle rozmy艣la nad rodz膮cymi si臋 uczuciami do
Amelii.
Scena 4: (Przytu艂ek dla ubogich i bezdomnych pod wezwaniem 艣w. Aazarza)
Profesor wyja艣nia Amelii jak dosz艂o do obecnej sytuacji.
King jest zapalonym badaczem tajnik贸w alchemii, w szczeg贸lno艣ci prac alchemika
Thomasa Anzeray'a (1535 - 1607). Po przestudiowaniu kilku list贸w napisanych przez
alchemika do jego uczni贸w, King zrozumia艂, 偶e jest w posiadaniu klucza do jednej z
najwi臋kszych tajemnic Anzeray'a - odkrycia 艣cie偶ki mi臋dzy 偶yciem a 艣mierci膮;
tajemnicy znanej z legend jako  Rytua艂 Wskrzeszenia Anzeray'a . U kresu 偶ycia,
Anzeray zda艂 sobie spraw臋 z niebezpiecze艅stwa, jakie nie艣膰 mog膮 jego odkrycia.
Wybra艂 si臋 wi臋c w podr贸偶 i podzielone na cz臋艣ci wyniki swoich bada艅 ukry艂 w kilku
krajach Europy. Z tej wyprawy nie powr贸ci艂 ju偶 nigdy.
King odczyta艂 wskaz贸wki pozostawione w listach. M贸wi艂y one o istnieniu trzech
artefakt贸w: Dziennika, Czaszki i Szkatu艂ki z Siedmioma 艢wi臋tymi Kamieniami. Po
latach studi贸w nad listami Anzeray'a, Profesor by艂 wreszcie got贸w, aby wyruszy膰 na
poszukiwanie artefakt贸w, dzi臋ki kt贸rym przeprowadzenie legendarnego Rytua艂u
stanie si臋 mo偶liwe. By艂o jasne, 偶e taka wyprawa b臋dzie wymaga膰 finansowego
wparcia. Znany bogacz, cz艂onek Bractwa Hellfire, badacz i podr贸偶nik, Lord Henry
Jagman, zaoferowa艂 swoj膮 pomoc. Pomimo z艂ej s艂awy otaczaj膮cej Jagmana, King
zdecydowa艂 si臋 przyj膮膰 propozycj臋 i wkr贸tce razem rozpocz臋li poszukiwania.
We w艂oskich Alpach znalezli Dziennik Anzeray'a. Alchemik ostrzega艂 w nim, 偶e
ludzko艣膰 nie jest jeszcze gotowa, wi臋c Rytua艂 Wskrzeszenia mo偶e doprowadzi膰 do
wielkiej tragedii. Chc膮c zaniecha膰 dalszych poszukiwa艅, King przekaza艂 ostrze偶enie
Jagmanowi. Artefakty powinny pozosta膰 w ukryciu. Lecz Jagman mia艂 inny plan.
Odda艂 strza艂 i przekonany, 偶e by艂 to strza艂 艣miertelny, ruszy艂 dalej. Profesor jednak
prze偶y艂. Znaleziony przez Ev臋, odzyska艂 si艂y i pod膮偶y艂 w 艣lad za Jagmanem.
W czasie opowie艣ci Profesora, William przy艂apuje dziewczyn臋, kt贸ra pr贸buj臋 go
okra艣膰. Ma na imi臋 Jessamine. Amelia wstawia si臋 za z艂odziejk膮. Profesor
przypomina wzburzonemu Williamowi, 偶e przecie偶 w podobnej sytuacji si臋 poznali -
Gardelle usi艂owa艂 okra艣膰 Profesora. King oferuje Jessamine ubranie i posi艂ek.
Dziewczyna pozostaje nieufna, ale jest wdzi臋czna za hojno艣膰 profesora.
Powracaj膮 do przerwanej rozmowy. Dzi臋ki Amelii wiedz膮 ju偶, 偶e Szkatu艂ka ze
艢wi臋tymi Kamieniami jest ukryta w Labiryncie. Jednak偶e, podobnie jak Jagman,
nie wiedz膮 jak przeby膰 Labirynt i prze偶y膰. Profesor wysy艂a Williama i Ev臋 na
przeszpiegi do domu Jagmana. Amelia chce do nich do艂膮czy膰, ale King zatrzymuje
j膮 twierdz膮c, 偶e wiedziona tak silnym pragnieniem zemsty mo偶e przysporzy膰 im
k艂opot贸w. Profesor t艂umaczy Amelii, 偶e musi nauczy膰 si臋 cierpliwo艣ci i
strategicznego planowania.
Scena 5: (W pracowni Jagmana)
William i Eva w艂amuj膮 si臋 do pracowni Jagmana. Znajduj膮 tam kilka przydatnych
wskaz贸wek. Nagle s艂ysz膮 ha艂asy i musz膮 si臋 ukry膰.
Ben Greaves, pijany, rozgl膮da si臋 po pracowni. Pilnuje go gospodyni, pani Muncey,
wyraznie niezadowolona z wizyty go艣cia. W trakcie g艂o艣nej sprzeczki wyjawiaj膮
istotne informacje o Czaszce. Jest ona ukryta gdzie艣 na Cmentarzu Highgate. Nie
wiadomo dok艂adnie gdzie; wiadomo tylko, 偶e w czasie pe艂ni ksi臋偶yca, 艣wiat艂o
przechodzi przez harf臋 anio艂a wskazuj膮c grobowiec, w kt贸rym znajduje si臋
Czaszka.
Najbli偶sza pe艂nia ma by膰 nazajutrz. Jagman planuje zgromadzi膰 cz艂onk贸w Bractwa
Hellfire na cmentarzu Highgate. W trakcie spotkania wydob臋dzie Czaszk臋.
Brakowa膰 mu b臋dzie ju偶 tylko Szkatu艂ki.
Scena 6: (Kryj贸wka Profesora nad Przytu艂kiem 艣w. Aazarza)
Professor wr臋cza Jessamine pieni膮dze i dziewczyna odchodzi. Amelia z
niecierpliwo艣ci膮 oczekuje wie艣ci o Williamie i Evie. W zamy艣leniu 艣piewa piosenk臋.
Zapytana, wyja艣nia Profesorowi, 偶e jest to jedyna rzecz, jak膮 zostawi艂 jej ojciec -
ko艂ysanka z dzieci艅stwa.
William i Eva powracaj膮 i przekazuj膮 Kingowi nowiny oraz dokumenty znalezione w
pracowni. Wynika z nich, 偶e Czaszka, kt贸rej poszukuj膮 jest czaszk膮 samego
Anzeray'a! Postanawiaj膮 w przebraniu wzi膮膰 udzia艂 w zgromadzeniu na Cmentarzu
Highgate.
Scena 7: (Tej samej nocy na dachu Przytu艂ku 艢w. Aazarza; widok na nocny
Londyn)
William znajduje Ameli臋 siedz膮c膮 w zamy艣leniu, patrz膮c膮 w dal na roz艣wietlony
Londyn. Pr贸buje j膮 pocieszy膰, m贸wi膮c, 偶e wszystko si臋 jeszcze u艂o偶y. Pocz膮tkowo
ch艂odna, Amelia docenia jego starania. Ostrzega go jednak, 偶e ucieka przed
cieniem, kt贸ry zrujnowa艂 jej 偶ycie i wszystko co zna艂a i kocha艂a. Cieniem tym jest
Henry Jagman i nie spocznie dop贸ki sprawiedliwo艣膰 nie zostanie wymierzona. Dla
niej liczy si臋 tylko zemsta!
Scena 8: (Londy艅ski Cmentarz Highgate)
Jest pe艂nia. Jagman rozpoczyna zgromadzenie. Zapowiada, 偶e wkr贸tce podzieli si臋
najwi臋kszym odkryciem w dziejach ludzko艣ci. Niebawem zadziwi 艣wiat!
Zegar wybija p贸艂noc. Jagman znika w t艂umie. Po艣r贸d rozbawionej gromady Bractwa
pojawia si臋 cyga艅ska trupa  Amelia i jej towarzysze w przebraniu. King, Eva i
William poszukuj膮 anio艂a z harf膮. Ameli臋 bardziej interesuje znalezienie samego
Jagmana. Po d艂u偶szej chwili dostrzegaj膮 pomnik. 艢wiat艂o ksi臋偶yca znaczy gr贸b, lecz
zosta艂 on ju偶 naruszony! Czaszka znikn臋艂a!
King wie, 偶e musz膮 uprzedzi膰 Jagmana w zdobyciu ostatniego artefaktu. Jest to ich
jedyna szansa. Rozpoczyna si臋 wy艣cig z czasem.

Profesorowi piosenk臋 nucon膮 przez Ameli臋. Zaczyna rozumie膰, 偶e ko艂ysanka jej
ojca jest rozwi膮zaniem 艂amig艂贸wki.
Prowadzeni s艂owami piosenki odnajduj膮 Szkatu艂k臋 ze 艢wi臋tymi Kamieniami.
Profesor wype艂nia szkatu艂k臋 bezwarto艣ciowymi kamykami, przypominaj膮c Amelii,

Labiryntu ca艂a czw贸rka zostaje pojmana. Milosh odbiera im szkatu艂k臋 i przeprasza
za to, 偶e musi ich zabi膰. Profesor prosi o chwil臋 rozmowy. Roztacza wizj臋
niesko艅czonego bogactwa, kt贸re mo偶e im da膰 dzi臋ki znajomo艣ci alchemii. Na ich
oczach zmienia o艂贸w w z艂oto. W rzeczywisto艣ci jest to prosty trik. Gdy Milosh i jego
ludzie lubuj膮 si臋 obietnic膮 niedalekiej fortuny, King wraz z przyjaci贸艂mi ucieka. Dla
zmylenia pogoni rozdzielaj膮 si臋: King i Eva ruszaj膮 w jedn膮 stron臋, William i Amelia
w przeciwn膮. Maj膮 si臋 spotka膰 w Hamburgu.
Jagman wre z w艣ciek艂o艣ci, widz膮c, 偶e King ponownie uszed艂 z 偶yciem, a kamienie w
szkatu艂ce s膮 fa艂szywe. Milosh ginie z r臋ki Jagmana na miejscu, a Greaves dostaje
misj臋 odzyskania prawdziwych Kamieni za wszelk膮 cen臋. Lord Henry Jagman
wyja艣nia zebranym na polanie jak wa偶na jest jego misja i jak daleko zamierza
posun膮膰 si臋, aby osi膮gn膮膰 cel!
Scena 3: (Rossenstrasse, niedaleko dok贸w w Hamburgu)
Tu偶 przed wschodem s艂o艅ca Amelia i William docieraj膮 do dok贸w, gdzie maj膮
spotka膰 Profesora i Ev臋. Wi臋z mi臋dzy Ameli膮 i Williamem przerodzi艂a si臋 w co艣
g艂臋bszego. Dana jest im chwila blisko艣ci. Nagle pojawia si臋 Greaves z kilkoma
najemnikami.
Podczas b贸jki Amelia ratuje Williama zas艂aniaj膮c go w艂asnym cia艂em przed
pchni臋ciem no偶a Greavesa. Dziewczyna pada na ziemi臋. Greaves i jego ludzie
uciekaj膮 z Kamieniami. Amelia umiera w obj臋ciach zrozpaczonego Williama. W
ostatnich s艂owach zmusza go, by obieca艂, 偶e wype艂ni misj臋 do ko艅ca.
Scena 4: (Na pok艂adzie statku towarowego Phaedra)
Na pok艂adzie panuje przygn臋bienie po 艣mierci Amelii. Profesor pr贸buje przekona膰
Williama, 偶e nawet po tak wielkiej stracie, nie mo偶e si臋 teraz podda膰.
Kapitan statku odprawia obrz膮dek poch贸wku w morzu. Gdy Pheadra zbli偶a si臋 do
zamglonych brzeg贸w Anglii, ostatnie po偶egnanie dobiega ko艅ca.
Scena 5: (Kryj贸wka Profesora nad Przytu艂kiem 艣w. Aazarza)
Zdruzgotani powracaj膮 do kryj贸wki z pustymi r臋kami i bez Amelii. Nie wiedz膮 te偶
gdzie ma si臋 odby膰 Rytua艂. King jest jednak dziwnie opanowany i postanawia
odpocz膮膰. William pe艂ni stra偶, a Eva rozmy艣la nad swoimi uczuciami do Profesora.
Otwieraj膮 si臋 drzwi. Wchodzi Jessamine prowadz膮c Jagmana i jego pomocnik贸w.
Jagman nagradza dziewczyn臋 za udzielenie cennych informacji o miejscu pobytu
Profesora.
Lecz czy to faktycznie zdrada? King wyjawia wzburzonej Evie, 偶e to on zap艂aci艂
z艂odziejce, 偶eby ich  zdradzi艂a . Zgad艂, 偶e duma i pr贸偶no艣膰 Jagmana sprawi, 偶e
b臋dzie chcia艂, aby byli oni 艣wiadkami jego wielkiej triumfu. Mia艂 racj臋!
Scena 6: (Posiad艂o艣膰 Jagmana; Hol Ceremonialny)
Po艣r贸d odzianych w purpur臋 cz艂onk贸w Bractwa Hellfire, Jagman przewodzi
ceremonii. Na o艂tarzu oczekuj膮 Czaszka i Siedem 艢wi臋tych Kamieni. P艂onie rytualny
ogie艅. Jagman odczytuje s艂owa z Dziennika Anzeray'a.
King i jego towarzysze uczestnicz膮 w ceremonii pod nadzorem Greavesa. Nagle
dobiega og艂uszaj膮cy 艂oskot i 艣ciany o艂tarza rozst臋puj膮 si臋. Otwarta zostaje brama
mi臋dzy 偶yciem a 艣mierci膮. Przez bram臋 powraca Anzeray. Jagman oznajmia, 偶e to
jego moc przywr贸ci艂a martwych do 偶ycia. Szybko jednak staje si臋 jasne, 偶e Thomas
Anzeray nie pochwala jego czynu. Alchemik przemawia, a coraz wi臋cej mrocznych
cieni wy艂ania si臋 zza bramy. Przewodzi im Amelia!
Anzeray przeklina Jagmana  jego chciwo艣膰 i lekkomy艣lno艣膰. Przera偶eni cz艂onkowie
Bractwa zostaj膮 wci膮gni臋ci przez bram臋 w niebyt. Amelia os艂ania tr贸jk臋 swoich
przyjaci贸艂. Wskazuje na skulon膮 w k膮cie posta膰. W艣r贸d b艂aga艅 o lito艣膰, cienie
zmar艂ych wci膮gaj膮 Jagmana w otch艂a艅. W holu zapada cisza. Amelii i Williamowi
dana jest jeszcze jedna wsp贸lna chwila. William b艂aga, by m贸g艂 p贸j艣膰 z ni膮. Amelia
odchodzi, obiecuj膮c, 偶e b臋dzie na niego czeka膰 kiedy nadejdzie jego czas.
Thomas Anzeray opuszcza ziemski wymiar ostatni. Przedtem nakazuje Profesorowi,
dla dobra 偶ywych i umar艂ych, zniszczy膰 wszystkie artefakty, a przede wszystkim
Dziennik. Brama zamyka si臋. Profesor wrzuca Kamienie, Czaszk臋 i Dziennik w ogie艅
i wychodzi. Po chwili wraca. Wyci膮ga Dziennik z p艂omieni i wk艂ada go do kieszeni
p艂aszcza.
By膰 mo偶e to jeszcze nie koniec...
