The Harmonic Convergence.

that might point us in a direction?
Whoa-ho-ho! Okay.
Well, you have your Lovecraftian god-Krakens.
Uh, and then there's the D&D Kraken
which is sort of six-of-one.
And then, of course, there's "Clash of the Titans",
- both the original and the remake. - Thank you.
With the very famous line...
Thank you, Josh.
Every time the Kraken awakens,
time jumps back 12 hours.
Which would be great if it took us back
to before the moon broke.
What if we get the time loop spell to trigger
a couple hours early?
Why don't we just kill all the damn whales?
Well, that's clearly what you tried to do
when they took away your Permanence.
But she's right.
Maybe we need to let out the thing that scares us.
Maybe we need to, uh, to...
[MOUTH FULL] Release the Kraken!
Exactly, yeah.
[STUTTERS] But earlier.
Early... early enough to a time before the heist.
Shit, we're almost out of time.

Look, if the whales have the power
to take away your Permanence, this could be your last shot.

Surely, you jest.
I know, I know.
It goes against everything you've ever believed in,
and I fully respect that,
but the only way to fix this
is to release the Kraken right now.
Well, I don't think they liked that.
What? No.
Damn it!
Eliot?
Please be careful.
Uh, you don't know what they will do.
Hey!
You know I'm right!
I know you're listening.
You know, I have it on good authority
that mating season is in the fall.
Do you never wanna fuck again?
- Eliot, that was too personal. - Uh...
okay, uh, sorry.
Look, I get it.
Look, I get it... your ancestors made a deal,
but special circumstances, okay?
Just let it out for 30 seconds.
I will fix this and then, you know, uh,
the Kraken will be back in its safe little sea bed
and, uh, you can maintain your sigils for all of eternity.
You gotta trust me.
Just release the goddamn Kraken.
Please, please, please, please, please.
