A Discovery of Witches (2018–…): Season 1, Episode 3 - Episode #1.3 - full transcript
There is another dark turn in store for Diana when an alarming package is slipped under her door. Meanwhile, her relationship with Matthew moves forward, but something is about to happen that will cast them both further into danger.
MATTHEW: Once the world was full of wonders
but it belongs to humans now.
We creatures
have all but disappeared
demons, vampires and witches...
hiding in plain sight
fearful of discovery
ill at ease, even with each other.
But, as my father used to say...
in every ending
there is a new beginning.
Matthew.
- Are you off to the library?
Yes.
Well, you should know
that it's absolutely full
to the brim with creatures.
Waiting to see if you can
call the book up again.
I thought we'd...
Would you let me take you out
for the day instead?
Diana? Erm...
Do you mind if we just...?
I, er...
I just wanted to explain about
Peter Knox being at my house.
It was you who told him
about the book.
I told Sylvia. She asked.
I... I couldn't lie to another witch.
I trusted you.
You haven't exactly
been honest with me.
You've used magic for your own gain.
Did Knox tell you that?
- He's a good man.
He's in the Congregation.
He's worried about you and so am I.
- Well, you don't need to be.
Look, I know that you're angry
with me. I understand.
But that does not mean that
you need to spend time with that.
I can open my own door.
Where are we going, anyway?
My house.

very occasionally.

DIANA:
This whole place...
it's like a time capsule.
MATTHEW:
Mm.
Can't stay in the same place
for too long.
Humans tend to get suspicious, so...
I closed it up and left.
But I've dropped by over the years.
Updated the plumbing.
Put in the electricity.
CLOCK CHIMES
Who's she?
My sister, Louisa.
Did you have to change your name?
I always keep my Christian name.
Otherwise, yes.
What is your real name?
De Clermont.
You're French?
Don't you ask a lot of questions.
Yeah.
It's the historian in me.
I took my mother's name
when she sired me.
She lived in France
with my step-father, Philippe.
He's no longer with us.
He died?
Mm.
Yes.
We can be killed...
if you try hard enough.
Rico Jean.
- Satu Järvinen.
Welcome to the Congregation.
You're human.
The job of administrating
the Congregation
has been passed down to the oldest
male in my family for centuries.
Have you got siblings?
An elder sister.
Well, she must be pleased.
Oh, we're also tasked to help keep
all this secret from humans.
The Congregation chamber.
I want to see inside.
I'm afraid you can't.
Not unless we're in session.
The demons are to
the north of the building.
The vampires over there.
And this...
is the witches' archives.
Were you an alchemist?
No, no. I inherited those
from my brother.
He was fascinated by it.
Science with magic,
magic with science.
He never knew
which way round it was.
I'm not sure either, to be honest.
That's why I'm drawn to it.
Did you... cast a spell
to call the book up?
No.
No.
No, I've never been very good
at spell casting.
Well, then...
perhaps...
there was a spell on it and you just
happened to meet its conditions.
What are you doing?
MATTHEW:
I thought so.
Your magic's instinctive. It just
comes out of you when you need it.
You needed...
Ashmole 782 for your research.
It's not that simple.
Well, no, of course not.
There's something else, some kind
of link between you and the book.

Em?
I thought I was getting something there.
How was I to know you were scrying?
I couldn't sleep.
Dreams about Diana.
What?
- Odd things.
I thought I'd try to peep.
Did you see anything?
EM SIGHS
A man...
in the shadows.
With her, following her.
It was Knox.
No, he wasn't a witch.
Maybe you're right.
Maybe my magic is connected to need.
Don't you have any memories of it
having surfaced before?
No.
I don't remember much
about my childhood.
My parents died when I was young.
Yes, I know.
Living without magic isn't... bad.
I've survived without it.
Well, that's not quite true.
You use it all the time.
You can feel me
when I'm looking at you.
That feels cold.
Like ice growing under my skin.
Witch power is in your blood
and it's in your bones.
You were born to be a witch, just
as you were born to have blonde hair.
Or those blue eyes.
And you?
Well, I was born a human.
We didn't keep track
of birthdays back then.
But I'd estimate it was in 500
and then I was reborn
as a vampire in...
the year 537.
The things you must have seen.
- Mm.
And done.
Would you like to have
dinner with me tomorrow?

Hey, look at this.
Oh.
The story's been up since this morning
and already it's got
over 100 messages.
I knew this was gonna work.
The stories they're telling.
Demons born to humans who had
no idea why they were different.
They've spent half their lives
thinking they were freaks.
And now you've got them
talking to each other.
Someone's gonna want
to meet face to face.
What do you reckon?
Stay online for now.
It's risky enough.
What's this?
I got them from the library.
Look.
Does this remind you of something?
That's your statue.
MOBILE PHONE BUZZES
Hey, Sarah.
- What are you doing...
hanging around with a vampire?
Has Em been spying on me?
Anyway...
most of the things we've been
told about them aren't true.
He could feed off you,
take your memories.
I'm sure that's not true.
- That's what they do, Diana.
He could have fed off you already.
Seen everything you saw
when you opened that book.
You wouldn't remember.
- He wouldn't do anything like that.
I'm not in any danger with him.
Diana, do you remember the stories
your mum told you
when you were little?
The Shadow Prince that lived
between sunset and moonrise?
Yeah.
Yeah, I used to love those stories.
What if it's him?
We are putting two and two together
and making five.
We have no idea who this vampire is
or what he wants!
Well, he's coming to dinner tonight...
so I can just ask him.
BELLS CHIME
Morning.
I presume it's not a coincidence
you're outside my college.
Matthew's away at a conference.
Molecular biology techniques.
He asked me to keep an eye on you.
Is he always this controlling?
- With us, yes.
But with a witch...
it's a first.
OK, then, I may as well utilise you.
I'm feeding Matthew tonight.
Talk me through it.
Look, I'll tell you
what Matthew likes
if you come to the lab
and get your bloods done.
We're taking DNA from witch remains
and we've identified
four original clans.
Thanks.
Don't you want to find out
which one the Bishops belonged to?

Who is Diana Bishop?
Surely, you've wondered
about the Bishop blood?
I certainly have.
What will this tell us?
Your inherited traits and powers
and where you come from.
Through your DNA we can trace descent
back to one of four witches who...
What the hell are you doing?
Stop now.
If any vampire is
going to take her blood
it's going to be me.
MATTHEW:
Are you all right?
GROWLING SOUND
Qualcuno a vederti, signore.
GERBERT:
Grazie.
A strange story came to me today.
Apparently, Matthew de Clermont's
harassing a witch in Oxford.
What?
If it's true,
we should capitalise on it.
Bring him in front of
the Congregation, punish him.
It sounds unlikely to me. Did your
source tell you who this witch is?
Her name's Diana Bishop.
I couldn't get more than that.
My source was a witch herself.
Probably lying to you
like they all do.
Why would Matthew leave himself...
so vulnerable.
There might not be any truth in it,
but if there is
we can't afford to miss
this opportunity.
Someone should go over there
and find out.
In nomine Patris et Filii
et Spiritus Sancti.
Beware the witch with the blood
of the lion and the wolf.
SHE SIGHS
DOOR SLAMS
- AGATHA: Don't you ever close your door?
Anyone could walk in.
Oh, darling!
Are these for us?
You need to eat when you're pregnant.
Has the baby moved yet?
- Oh, she's lazy, I reckon.
What's all this?
I've been reading up on alchemy.
Nat, your mum's here.
"Alchemy exits to transform mortals
from a state of suffering
to enlightenment."
I didn't know you were into all this.
Hey!
They've given me a day
to close the chatroom.
Did you tell them?
Of course not.
I might not approve,
I'd never report you.
Demons need to communicate
with each other.
You know it's against Congregation...
Well, it shouldn't be. It...
If we were allowed to come together,
there'd be fewer problems.
Not necessarily. Think of the risks.
Demons aren't good
at doing things quietly.
So we just get told to shut up
and hide away?
Nat, don't fight it.
So you fight it for me.
You're on the Congregation.
You have a voice!
It's gonna get better.
This has been in my family
for generations.
How will that make it better?
Well, it's the White Queen,
from alchemy.
I don't think that's what that is.
She's got a bow and arrow.
She's like her, anyway.
My... My dad told me
when the time comes
that I must give her
to the person who needs her.
How will you know who that is?
I don't know... yet.
Just have to wait for a sign.
STALL HOLDER:
You like something maybe?
They're lovely.
- Thank you.
Hello, Miriam.
You're craving her.
Miriam, how I feel about Diana Bishop
has absolutely nothing to do with you.
She's a witch.
You're a vampire.
You know the rules. It's forbidden
by the terms of the Covenant.
The Congregation isn't about to
enforce a thousand-year-old rule.
Does Diana even know about it?
Because Marcus
doesn't seem to think so.
Bye, Miriam.
KNOCKING AT THE DOOR
Coming.
OK.
SHE SIGHS
DIANA:
Sorry, I'm running...
KNOX:
Expecting someone?
Get out of my rooms!
Feeding him?
You shy away from us and yet
you seek out vampire company.
I'm not a bigot like you.
Yes, just like your father.
So open-minded that he put himself
and your mother in mortal danger.
WHOOSING SOUND
Mr Knox was just leaving.
MATTHEW GROWLS
BELL TOLLS
MATTHEW:
Mm.
Red deer.
A young Highland stag
from the taste of it.
How could you possibly know that?
Our senses are heightened.
Oh, so some of the stories are true.
Can you fly?
- No.
But we can run and jump very well
which makes humans
think that we can fly.
And we're efficient, too.
Our bodies don't use up much energy
so we have an awful lot
to draw upon when we need to.
You don't breathe much.
Well...
our hearts don't beat...
very often.
I thought you knew about vampires.
That's why you invited me to dinner.
I probably know a little less
than most humans do.
Most legends about us were...
dreamed up by humans.
Black hats and bats and brooms.
Yes.
Somewhere in all those stories
there's a speck of truth.
Something that
frightened humans and...
helped them to deny that we were real.
What do you taste?
Flowers and spice.
You?
Oh, there's violets in there.
Purple sugared ones.
Elizabeth Tudor
absolutely adored them.
Ruined her teeth.
- DIANA SCOFFS
Also blackberries from hedgerows.
Cigar smoke, redcurrants in brandy.
I could go on.
What would I taste like?
Don't ever...
say that to me.
I only asked to understand.
It would take but a moment.
You wouldn't be able to stop me
if I struck
and I wouldn't be able to stop myself.
I'm safe with you.
SHE GASPS
The smell of you...
Willow sap.
Camomile honey.
Frankincense.
Lady's mantle.
Ancient things
I thought I'd forgotten.
It's not only your scent.
I can hear your witch's blood...
moving in your veins.
When I touch your skin...
and it rushes to the surface.
Thank you for dinner.

What? Who are they?
My parents.
Oh, I... I'm so sorry.
Knox sent these to me.
- Why would he do something like that?
Where is he?
- I... I have no idea.
This is sick.
Please, can we just
a talk about the...
Are you going to give the book
to the vampire?
I will understand that book.
I'm gonna deal with this myself.
DOOR SLAMS
Diana?
BELL TOLLS
Hey, Sean.
Hey. Sorry, I know you're closing.
I need to get a book.
Ashmole 782.
People have been
asking for that all week.
It's missing.
Last one who had it out was you.
I returned it to the stacks.
- Yeah, I remember. It's odd.
Well then, it's got to be there.
Can you check again?
Just for me, please.
I'll go and have a look.
Give me a few minutes.
Thank you.
We'll wait together, shall we?
- SHE GASPS
Gillian thought you might
take the book out.
You see, she understands
its importance to us.
You sent me those photographs.
I don't want you
to end up like Rebecca.
Your father made her turn her back
on her own kind.
Just as you are.
- Sorry, Diana, it's just not there.
Don't worry about it.
It's fine.
- What's going on?
It's OK.
- Diana.
Ask him to look again.
All of you, get out!
With this binding knot...
Stop!
I bring darkness to your mind.
Sean!
Sean!
Hold on, Diana!
Don't hold your breath.
Just breathe, Diana.
I've got you.
You're safe.
Sean, are you OK?
SHE BREATHES HEAVILY
A DRAWER SLIDES OPEN
Is she OK?
No, she's exhausted.
- Not surprising.
Witch wind.
I've checked on Sean. He's fine.
And I've sorted out the Bodleian.
If she wakes up,
tell her I'll return soon.
Where are you going?
I'm going to fight Peter Knox.
If you make a move on him
it'll be seen as a direct challenge
to the Congregation.
He sent her those photographs.
His scent was all over them.
Are you seriously considering
endangering our family
just to avenge a witch?
Are you questioning my loyalty?
- I'm questioning your judgment.
Think before you do this.
Get Diana out of Oxford, fine,
but don't take on Knox.
If you do, it'll be war.
I've never felt so protective
over anyone.
You can protect her
without causing a shit storm.
Drop her off with Hamish in Scotland.
Leave her at Woodstock.
No.
I'll take her to Sept-Tours.
- What?
You can't put Ysabeau through that.
You can't leave a witch at her house.
It's my house too.
And I'm not leaving her there.
I'm going with her.
BELL TOLLS
Matthew.
What time is it?
Five o'clock.
You've been asleep for ten hours.
You were exhausted
from the witch wind.
Witch wind?
- Mm.
No witch has summoned it
for centuries.
You have to leave Oxford.
No, I...
I can't leave.
Peter Knox will come after you.
I can deal with Peter Knox.
- Not yet you can't.
Your power is extraordinary,
but it's undisciplined.
You have to come to terms with it
somewhere safe.
I could go to my aunt's.
No.
No, I'm taking you home
with me to France.
No witch would dare trespass
on vampire land.
You'll be safe there.

Nat, your mum's here.
"Alchemy exits to transform mortals
from a state of suffering
to enlightenment."
I didn't know you were into all this.
Hey!
They've given me a day
to close the chatroom.
Did you tell them?
Of course not.
I might not approve,
I'd never report you.
Demons need to communicate
with each other.
You know it's against Congregation...
Well, it shouldn't be. It...
If we were allowed to come together,
there'd be fewer problems.
Not necessarily. Think of the risks.
Demons aren't good
at doing things quietly.
So we just get told to shut up
and hide away?
Nat, don't fight it.
So you fight it for me.
You're on the Congregation.
You have a voice!
It's gonna get better.
This has been in my family
for generations.
How will that make it better?
Well, it's the White Queen,
from alchemy.
I don't think that's what that is.
She's got a bow and arrow.
She's like her, anyway.
My... My dad told me
when the time comes
that I must give her
to the person who needs her.
How will you know who that is?
I don't know... yet.
Just have to wait for a sign.
STALL HOLDER:
You like something maybe?
They're lovely.
- Thank you.
Hello, Miriam.
You're craving her.
Miriam, how I feel about Diana Bishop
has absolutely nothing to do with you.
She's a witch.
You're a vampire.
You know the rules. It's forbidden
by the terms of the Covenant.
The Congregation isn't about to
enforce a thousand-year-old rule.
Does Diana even know about it?
Because Marcus
doesn't seem to think so.
Bye, Miriam.
KNOCKING AT THE DOOR
Coming.
OK.
SHE SIGHS
DIANA:
Sorry, I'm running...
KNOX:
Expecting someone?
Get out of my rooms!
Feeding him?
You shy away from us and yet
you seek out vampire company.
I'm not a bigot like you.
Yes, just like your father.
So open-minded that he put himself
and your mother in mortal danger.
WHOOSING SOUND
Mr Knox was just leaving.
MATTHEW GROWLS
BELL TOLLS
MATTHEW:
Mm.
Red deer.
A young Highland stag
from the taste of it.
How could you possibly know that?
Our senses are heightened.
Oh, so some of the stories are true.
Can you fly?
- No.
But we can run and jump very well
which makes humans
think that we can fly.
And we're efficient, too.
Our bodies don't use up much energy
so we have an awful lot
to draw upon when we need to.
You don't breathe much.
Well...
our hearts don't beat...
very often.
I thought you knew about vampires.
That's why you invited me to dinner.
I probably know a little less
than most humans do.
Most legends about us were...
dreamed up by humans.
Black hats and bats and brooms.
Yes.
Somewhere in all those stories
there's a speck of truth.
Something that
frightened humans and...
helped them to deny that we were real.
What do you taste?
Flowers and spice.
You?
Oh, there's violets in there.
Purple sugared ones.
Elizabeth Tudor
absolutely adored them.
Ruined her teeth.
- DIANA SCOFFS
Also blackberries from hedgerows.
Cigar smoke, redcurrants in brandy.
I could go on.
What would I taste like?
Don't ever...
say that to me.
I only asked to understand.
It would take but a moment.
You wouldn't be able to stop me
if I struck
and I wouldn't be able to stop myself.
I'm safe with you.
SHE GASPS
The smell of you...
Willow sap.
Camomile honey.
Frankincense.
Lady's mantle.
Ancient things
I thought I'd forgotten.
It's not only your scent.
I can hear your witch's blood...
moving in your veins.
When I touch your skin...
and it rushes to the surface.
Thank you for dinner.
DOOR OPENS
DOOR CLOSES
WATER SPLASHES
Go and find Matthew.
BOAT ENGINE STARTS
Thank you, Father.
BELL TOLLS
SHE GASPS
You knew about this!
What? Who are they?
My parents.
Oh, I... I'm so sorry.
Knox sent these to me.
- Why would he do something like that?
Where is he?
- I... I have no idea.
This is sick.
Please, can we just
a talk about the...
Are you going to give the book
to the vampire?
I will understand that book.
I'm gonna deal with this myself.
DOOR SLAMS
Diana?
BELL TOLLS
Hey, Sean.
Hey. Sorry, I know you're closing.
I need to get a book.
Ashmole 782.
People have been
asking for that all week.
It's missing.
Last one who had it out was you.
I returned it to the stacks.
- Yeah, I remember. It's odd.
Well then, it's got to be there.
Can you check again?
Just for me, please.
I'll go and have a look.
Give me a few minutes.
Thank you.
We'll wait together, shall we?
- SHE GASPS
Gillian thought you might
take the book out.
You see, she understands
its importance to us.
You sent me those photographs.
I don't want you
to end up like Rebecca.
Your father made her turn her back
on her own kind.
Just as you are.
- Sorry, Diana, it's just not there.
Don't worry about it.
It's fine.
- What's going on?
It's OK.
- Diana.
Ask him to look again.
All of you, get out!
With this binding knot...
Stop!
I bring darkness to your mind.
Sean!
Sean!
Hold on, Diana!
Don't hold your breath.
Just breathe, Diana.
I've got you.
You're safe.
Sean, are you OK?
SHE BREATHES HEAVILY
A DRAWER SLIDES OPEN
Is she OK?
No, she's exhausted.
- Not surprising.
Witch wind.
I've checked on Sean. He's fine.
And I've sorted out the Bodleian.
If she wakes up,
tell her I'll return soon.
Where are you going?
I'm going to fight Peter Knox.
If you make a move on him
it'll be seen as a direct challenge
to the Congregation.
He sent her those photographs.
His scent was all over them.
Are you seriously considering
endangering our family
just to avenge a witch?
Are you questioning my loyalty?
- I'm questioning your judgment.
Think before you do this.
Get Diana out of Oxford, fine,
but don't take on Knox.
If you do, it'll be war.
I've never felt so protective
over anyone.
You can protect her
without causing a shit storm.
Drop her off with Hamish in Scotland.
Leave her at Woodstock.
No.
I'll take her to Sept-Tours.
- What?
You can't put Ysabeau through that.
You can't leave a witch at her house.
It's my house too.
And I'm not leaving her there.
I'm going with her.
BELL TOLLS
Matthew.
What time is it?
Five o'clock.
You've been asleep for ten hours.
You were exhausted
from the witch wind.
Witch wind?
- Mm.
No witch has summoned it
for centuries.
You have to leave Oxford.
No, I...
I can't leave.
Peter Knox will come after you.
I can deal with Peter Knox.
- Not yet you can't.
Your power is extraordinary,
but it's undisciplined.
You have to come to terms with it
somewhere safe.
I could go to my aunt's.
No.
No, I'm taking you home
with me to France.
No witch would dare trespass
on vampire land.
You'll be safe there.
