Are You Afraid of the Dark? (2019): Season 3, Episode 4 - Episode #3.4 - full transcript

Previously on "Are You Afraid of the Dark?"

- What just happened?
- She's out of the mirror.

It's a diary.

Lucia... what if this belonged to her?

What happened?

He stole Lucia's life.

His ghost should be the one
locked in that prison.

- You're Cutter.
- No, no, Stanley, no!

The ghost in the glass

is our little spy,

so whatever we ask,



you better not lie.

Bella.

Have you ever shoplifted?

No, but in the third grade,

Leo and I stole the nose
off Zeebo the Clown

and never gave it back.

That's kinda funny.

Um, Summer.

Who is your secret crush?

It's Luke McCoy.

Come on.
No, no.

Come on.
You did that.

- I swear it wasn't me.
- Who is it?

- Ferris.
- Ew.



No, it's not.

The ghost says you're lying.

OK, well, whatever,
because I know

it's you that's moving it.

Anyways, um, Kayla.

What's your biggest fear?

It's OK.
You can tell us.

She... she really
doesn't have to.

That's the game.

What if I don't want to?

Then you have to do the dare.

You have to look in the glass
and see the ghost.

No.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no!

Let me out, please!
Please, let me out!

Kayla?

Who's there?

Bella?

*ARE YOU AFRAID OF THE DARK?*
Season 03 Episode 04

Episode Title: "The Tale of the Looking Glass"
Aired on: August 06, 2022.

May we all come
to peaceful ends

and leave our debts
onto our friends.

All right.

Now, it's time to put Lucia
back in the mirror.

Wait, where's the diary?

No.

No.

No!

Don't be afraid.
It's OK.

It's you?

Hi, Kayla.

How is this possible?

How are you here right now?
How? How?

I think you should
come sit down.

No.
You know what?

Because I know
what sit down means.

Mom told us to sit down
right before she told us

Gizmo the cat moved to Florida.
You remember that?

I remember.

But he didn't move
to Florida.

Something bad happened to him.

Kayla.

Please tell me
I didn't move to Florida.

Am I dead?

Only sort of.

How can I be sort of dead?

Technically,
you're still alive,

but you're
in the world of the dead, so...

welcome to the other side.

You shouldn't
sneak up on people.

Say, have you seen
Ms. King around anywhere?

Well...

Can't have you squawking now,
can we?

You missed a spot.

Brake is on the left side!

- Guys.
- Hey, you're still alive.

Unless you're a ghost now too.

You know what?
That's... that's OK.

We love you and accept you
just the way you are.

OK, definitely not dead,
but loving the support.

Are you both OK?

That was the most terrifying
thing I've been through.

Graveyard
was that scary, huh?

- No, Ferris' driving.
- Did you find Cutter's tomb?

Yeah, but that's it.
The tomb was empty.

Wait, it was empty?

No necklace,
no bones, no Cutter.

Wait, how? You think
somebody else robbed the grave?

Or maybe it was always empty.

Stanley?

Wait, where's Kayla?

Kayla.

What is this place?

What is this place?

What is this place?

Mm.

When people pass,
they cross over...

Cross over.

Cross over to the other side...

You know, where their spirits
can be free,

and others refuse to cross over
either because

they're afraid
or have unfinished business...

Have unfinished business.
Have unfinished business.

They kind of get stuck,
trapped in a place like this.

Wait, just like Lucia,
and now me?

So I'm trapped in room 13?

- Yes.
- Wait, she's where?

Perfectly safe for now.

So the mirror is covered.
The ritual is ready.

But Kayla and I need your help.

She thinks she lost
the diary, and we need it

- for the looking glass spell.
- No, no, it's OK.

Guys, I remember the spell.

No offense, Bruce Willis,
but we simply cannot trust

the memory of a guy
who's just recently

remembered he was dead.
We must find the diary.

What are you talking about
she lost the diary?

- She... she gave it to me.
- Oh, yes.

Oh, thank god.

Why does
the diary even matter?

If we don't have
Cutter's necklace,

we can't reverse
the spell and save Lucia.

No, but we save ourselves.

Wait, what...
What are you saying?

You're here
because you're trapped.

Wait, so if I'm trapped,
wait, does that mean

that you're trapped too?

No.

You know, thanks to you,
I had an amazing life.

Then I was able to cross over.

And now my spirit's free. Now my spirit's free.

Now my spirit's free.

And I'm only here
because you're here.

Bella, when you die,

will you become a ghost too?

Why didn't you ever visit me?

You promised me
that when you were a ghost

that would come and visit me,
but you didn't.

I waited.
I never wanted to be alone,

and I waited for you to come,
but you never came.

Why did you stop
telling stories?

What?

The Midnight Society.

After I was gone,
you kept telling stories,

and then you just stopped.

How did you know that?

Because I was there,
listening to the stories.

Don't you understand?

I've always been
with you, Kayla.

You just couldn't see me.

I know you've been
looking for me,

but it's time
to live your life.

Don't let me be
your unfinished business.

But promise me a few things.

Keep telling stories.

Hey.

And quit ghosting
your friends

so you can go look
at old photos of me.

You're being a little creepy.

Oh, and I want my hoodie back.

Wait, what?

I mean it.
Take it off.

You're being serious?

I'm being dead serious.
Now, give me back my jacket.

So what now?

Now we've gotta say goodbye.

What?

Am I going to be able
to see you again?

Of course.

You're my other half.

I'm just
on the other side for now.

If you miss me,
just remember...

That I'm the girl
in the mirror.

I love you, Kayla.

I love you, Bella.

Goodbye, Bella.

Come on, Kayla.

We can't put her
back in that mirror!

Yes, we can.
We have the diary.

That's the token
we need for the spell.

No, I'm saying
we shouldn't do that.

It's wrong!

Well, I'm sorry,
but you came back empty-handed.

And without Cutter's compass,
we can't summon him!

But with that,
we can summon her,

and we'll put that thing
back into the mirror.

- No, her name is Lucia.
- No, that is not Lucia!

That is a monster!

We have to stop her,

or you, me, and everyone
on this island will die.

This isn't right.

Well, it's our only option.

Guys, up here!
I'm up here!

He's lying to you!
Guys, listen!

Listen to me!
I'm up here!

Don't listen to him!

Max, are you on board?

We have to.

So it's decided then.

We're putting Lucia
back into the mirror.

All right, shake some legs.

Come on, we have
no time to waste.

Go.

No.
No, no, no, no!

Guys!

Wait, where's Kayla?

What?

That's strange.
She was right here.

She must have
gone looking for us.

Wait, wait, you guys.

Guys, something
doesn't feel right.

Guys!
Guys!

Guys, it's me!
Guys, look in the mirror!

Yeah, if Kayla did leave,
and she's marooned

somewhere in this hotel
with that banshee on the loose,

- her life is in danger.
- I'll go looking for her.

- I'm coming with you.
- Why don't you all go?

I mean, she's your friend.

You can't leave
the poor girl high and dry.

Here, give me the diary.
I'll just see it through.

Wait!

What?
You guys.

Guys, we're locked in.
I can't...

- What?
- It's OK though.

You have the key, right?
Come on.

- Not for the deadbolt.
- Someone help us.

Ferris, get over here.

Look, we'll just
deal with that later.

First, we've got Lucia
back into the mirror.

Wait, what are you doing?

We're going
to summon her in here.

- Why can't we just use this?
- No.

You can't trust that.

No, not after Danny Phantom
here shuttered its portal.

Stay far away from that mirror.

The phone.

One, three.

Why would somebody be calling
a room that doesn't exist?

Wait, no, no.
You guys.

You guys, that could be Kayla.

Hello?
Wait, stop!

What are you doing?

What?
Why would you...

That was a perfectly
semi-functioning phone.

It's Lucia.

Don't fall for it.

It's just one
of Lucia's tricks.

Don't trust them.

No, but that
doesn't make any sense.

Lucia's out of the mirror.

Why would she be
calling the room?

She knows we're here.

She's trying to lure her way in
or lure us out.

Either way, they're both
unpleasant options.

Just help me or be quiet.
No more distractions.

This is 109.1.

Turn that off.

Radio for the dimensionally challenged.

Sometimes, you miss the chance

to step over and need guiding.

Yes!
Yes, yes, yes!

♪ Baby, baby, baby ♪

♪ When you touch me like this ♪

What? No.

No.
No, no, no, no.

What?

Please.

This doesn't make any sense.

- What?
- The song.

No, that's Celine.
That's not weird.

It's awesome.

No, that's what
doesn't make sense.

I mean, you think some
300-year-old ghost

just happens to be
a Celine Stan?

It's time.
Give me the diary.

If I give this to you,
you promise

to help us reverse
that spell...

Wait.
Wait. Wait.

OK, Kayla, come on.

So Lucia can cross over?

You have my word.

- Um...
- Well?

No, I'm sorry.

We need to wait
for Kayla first.

No, no, no.
Kayla is fine.

We need to wait for Kayla.

- What did you do to her?
- What? Nothing.

- The ghost says you're lying.
- What are you talking about?

- Just give me the bloody diary.
- Where is she?

No, Summer, wait.

What just happened?

No, no.
Guys, guys, Kayla's in trouble.

It's that game, that old game

that Bella used to play,
remember?

The ghost in the glass,

the one where it can tell
when you're lying.

Uh, yeah.
Yeah, yeah.

Just watch. OK.

I'm talking to Lucia.

- Oh, my gosh.
- That means a lie, right?

Yes.

All right,
now I'm talking to Kayla.

- It's truth.
- This.

This is Kayla.

Kayla?

Where are you?

Kayla?

Please!
Please, let me out!

- Where are you?
- Let me out!

Oh, my God.
You guys.

She's in the mirror.

Wait, wait.
How... we need to get her out.

No, we can use the spell,
right?

We can use the spell.

We need something
that belongs to her.

- We don't have anything.
- Wait. I have her ring.

She always lets me
borrow her stuff.

OK, good, good.
You ready?

Wait.

What if you're wrong?

I'm not wrong.

Not this time.

Ready?

Start with the mirror.

Now, the flame.

Knock once.

Knock twice.

Call out her name.

Kayla!

Call out her...

What's wrong with her?

She's trapped in the mirror
just like Lucia was.

How do we save her?

Wait.
You guys, look.

It says... Stanley?

Call out her name.

Lucia. - Please.

Please, Cutter.

Come back!

Farewell, my darling.

Stanley...

Is...

Cutter?

- We... we trusted you.
- Get back.

No, no, no, you didn't.

If you had,
you never would have come

into room 13
in the first place.

But since you did...

I do hope you enjoy
the rest of your stay here...

- What're you doing?
- Every last minute of it.

No, no, no, no!

Dude.

You've been at that
for almost an hour.

Yeah, someone's
going to find us.

How?

No one knows we're in here.

No one even knows
this room exists.

OK, well, you know what?

Moping around
on the floor isn't exactly

going to help us either,
so I think I'm going

to keep trying
to find a way out.

What does it even matter
if we don't have Kayla?

She's trapped
in the mirror, remember?

Stanley put her in there,
and we helped him do it.

- What are you doing?
- Getting her out.

- Wait, stop.
- No!

We have to break it.

It's not going to work!
Don't you remember?

I tried that.
It wasn't Lucia that came out.

It was a monster.

That's what started
this whole mess.

He's right.

If you break that mirror,

you're not going
to bring back Kayla.

You're going to bring back
something else.

So what do we do?

Huh?

Nothing?

No, there has
to be another way.

It has to be a trade.

I mean, we all heard the story.

When Cutter died at sea,

Lucia summoned him
in the mirror,

and when she went into
the mirror, he got to come out.

So Kayla only comes out
if somebody else goes back in.

She wasn't even
supposed to be here.

What?

I pushed her.

She didn't even want
to come to this stupid island,

but I wouldn't take no
for an answer.

I'll go in.

No, Leo.

I've been a bad friend
even for leaving her.

No, no, no, if that's
the deciding factor,

I'm going to be the one
to go in that mirror.

No, you are not
going in the mirror.

And you are not going
in the mirror.

None of us are going
to go into that mirror

because that's... that's crazy.

I'll do it.

What?

I'll do it.

Won't even work.
You're a ghost.

So what?

When Lucia and Cutter
swapped places,

she was alive,
and he was a ghost.

This will be
the exact same thing.

Except you're not...
You're not Cutter.

OK?
You're Max.

You're our friend.
You're my...

You're one of us.
OK?

Wait, wait, wait.

- Maybe that's it.
- What is?

Cutter.

Cutter goes in,
and Kayla comes out.

- That's our trade.
- Yes. Yeah.

Now that makes sense.

Cutter's the one that started
this whole mess, not you, Max.

Okay,
but how do we get Stan...

Cutter... whoever this clown is,

how do we get him
into the mirror?

- Do we ask nicely?
- We're not going to be asking,

and we're not going
to be nice about it either.

It's not going to be
that easy.

Guys, think about it.

We're talking about a guy
who literally cheats death.

Look at how he
already duped us.

There's no way
we can guarantee

that we're going
to be able to get him.

At least if...
If I go in the mirror...

You guys will get Kayla back.

Yeah, but if you go
into the mirror,

you'll be stuck there forever.

Yeah, I know.

But I also know you guys.

And I know
that the four of you,

all you guys together,

with Kayla,

that's the best shot
that we've got.

It's the way
it's got to be, OK?

Max, I'll come back
for you, OK?

I'll save you.

I'm not going to leave you
in that mirror, I promise, OK?

I know you won't.

I know.

I see you.

OK.

Long live the Midnight Society.

Knock once.

Knock twice.

Guys. Guys!

Guys, guys, it's me!

Max.

Kayla.

Max!

What's the 411?

Kayla. - It's you.

Max!
Max.

- Kayla.
- Kayla!

Wait, no.
No, no, no!

No!
Let go of me.

- No, Kayla.
- Let go.

- Let go of me.
- Kayla.

Why is he in the mirror?
Why is he in the mirror?

It was the only way.

- Listen, it's OK.
- No. No.

- It's OK.
- I'm sorry.

- It's OK.
- No.

I'm sorry.
It was all our fault.

No.
It wasn't.

It wasn't your fault.
It was Cutter's.

It was Cutter's fault.
It was Cutter's fault.

He's the one.

Oh, you clever little thief.

You know, we could use
more friends like you.

- What?
- That's it.

We need more friends.

Friends?

More friends like Max.
That's how we end this.

DANGER.

D-A-N-G-E-R.

That is correct. Now spell "trouble."

T-R-O-U-B-L-E.

That is correct. Now spell...

All right,
you can come out now.

Very cute, Betty Ann,
and not at all frightening.

You'd think after 40 years
of running around this hotel,

she would come up
with a better costume.

Ah!

U-R-N.

U-R-N.

Trouble.

T-R-O-U-B-L-E.

Smile for the camera.

Okay, just... hold on,
just wait a second.

Now, I don't know
what they've told you.

We know everything.

Well then, you know
I've never hurt any of you.

You killed her.

You're the reason
we're all here.

She's the monster
who took your lives, not me.

Blame her.

I've been protecting all of you
and keeping you safe.

By keeping us
trapped in here?

No.

It's over now.

Your time is up.

She's out,
and she's coming.

Boo.

No, the boat.
She cut it loose.

Please.
Please, forgive me.

- Hello, Ms. King.
- Cutter.

Oh, good on you.
So what happens now?

You're going to put me away?

You're going to make me
walk the plank

back to the other side?

You can go in
any way you like,

but you're going back in,
and Lucia's coming back out.

So you got it all
figured out?

Just one tiny problem.

Don't see any mirrors.

Hey, where's Casper?

Ghost boy ghost you again, hm?

Ah.

That's how you got
out of the mirror,

'cause he went in for you.

What a fool, giving up
his life for love.

Just like Lucia.

Are you afraid?

Afraid.

You are, aren't you?

Of what?

You're afraid
to cross over,

and that's why you became
a ghost all those years ago,

and why you wanted
to take Lucia's place,

and why you're running now.

Okay, I was like you, Cutter,

but now I know there's nothing
to be afraid of.

If you cross over,
you'll finally be free.

I'll help you.
We'll help.

No!

- Not...
- Let her go!

Not another step.

You're not getting away
with this.

Uh, getting away
is exactly what I'm doing.

You know, I think I've had
enough of this wretched island,

so I'm leaving.

And you're going to help me.

Get off, Cutter!
No, you're not taking her!

Hey, not another step!

Or Kayla's shark food.

We've got to do something.
He's going to take her.

No, we can't...

Summer, stop, stop.

Get off.

Come on.

Get in.

On board now.

Why are you doing this?
You don't need me.

Don't worry, Ms. King.

I'll be throwing you
overboard soon.

What's she doing?

It's a mirror.

- It's a mirror.
- The spell. The spell.

Let's go.

- Ferris, let's go!
- Almost there.

- Start with a mirror.
- Add a flame.

Knock once.

Knock twice.

What are they doing?
Stop that!

Call out her name!

Lucia!

Oh, no.

I'm Captain Jonas Cutter.

This hotel is filled with tortured souls,

just like me.

Guys.
Guys.

- Oh, are you OK?
- Are you OK?

- Are you OK?
- Are you OK?

- Are you OK?
- Yeah.

Lucia.

She's beautiful.

Max.

Go, go, go.

- Wait, what?
- The door is gone.

- Wait, how?
- No, no.

No, it was right here.
The door was right here.

Where's the door?

Excuse me.
Sorry. Sorry.

Yeah, can you help us
open that door, please?

Is everything OK?

No, we need to get
into this room right now.

Which room?
Your suite?

- No, room 13.
- There is no room 13.

Yes, there is.
We know there is.

It's right behind that wall.

Yeah, I mean,
there used to be,

but room 13
got torn down years ago

when they upgraded the resort.

What?

Sorry.

Max.

We promised we'd get him out.

I... we said we wouldn't
leave him there.

We left him there.

I promised I'd get him
out of the mirror.

Where's the mirror?

Where's the mirror?

Did you really go
to the other side?

I guess.

I mean,
it all happened so fast.

Is there a part of you that...

that wished
you could have stayed?

Honestly?

No.

You know, Bella may have
been my other half, but...

you guys are all my family.

But I was right
about one thing.

Bella did want us to come here
for her final ghost story.

Why?

For us to be haunted
and terrified?

For us to be together.

And haunted and terrified.

It's OK to miss her.

It's OK to miss Max.

I just wish there was
something we could have done

at least to know
that he was OK.

Well, you're in luck because
I happen to know this spell...

- No.
- No.

I don't think I'm going
to look in another mirror

for the rest of my life.

Please, it'll last,
like, 3 minutes.

Excuse me, are you judging me
in my hour of grief?

Pardon me.

Do you know where I might find
the Midnight Society?

I'm wanting to know exactly
where you heard those words

put together like that?

Uh, I got this letter
to deliver, but no address.

It just says, "You'll find them
near the bonfire."

Thanks.
That's us.

All right.

Thank you.

Well, open it.

"To the Midnight Society.

"First of all,
sorry for ghosting you.

Again."

"If you're reading this,

"it means you still came
to the island.

"Well, a lot has happened

since I went into the mirror
that day..."

"And you're not going
to believe it."

So listen up

because I have one last story for you.

♪ There were nights
when the wind was so cold ♪

The hotel on this island
once had a haunted room.

Hi.

Good evening.
Welcome to The Veil.

Hi.
One bed please.

I'm sorry,
but we're fully booked.

We'll take anything.
Whatever you have.

We have one special room.

Here.

- Room 13.
- Yes.

It's not, like,
haunted or anything, right?

No, nothing like that.

Only reserved
for special occasions.

Thank you.

You see, because Lucia crossed over,

the curse of room 13 was lifted,

which gave all the ghosts a second chance.

Ricky and I even finally
got to see "Scream."

Ricky, what's up, dude?
You ready to go?

Let's do this thing, brother.

By the way,
thanks for not spoiling the ending.

But don't think of this as our ending.

For us, it's only a new beginning.

And who knows?

Maybe if you find some magic spell

that lets you return to 1996,

we can pick up right where we left off.

- Oh, hey.
- Hi, Jules.

Hey, are you excited
it's our last night

or happy to be going home?

A little bit of both,
I think.

That's how I always feel
at the end of these things.

But hey, at least it was fun,
you know?

Uh-huh.

You're a terrible chaperone,
by the way.

So much stuff happened.
It was really bad.

Wait, are you joking?
What happened?

Nah, it's all good.
We handled it, so...

Wait, how about I make it
up to you with a dance?

Thank you so much,
but I am going to pass.

Thank you for holding that.
You have fun.

Whoo!
Whoo!

For once, can you not?

- What?
- You like me.

No, I don't like you.

Yes, you do.
I can tell.

Uh, no, you can't,
because I don't like you.

At least, like, not like that.

I think you do
like me like that.

Well, you're wrong.

I like you like that.

- Well, I like you like this.
- Mm.

Okay, okay, okay,
how would you rate?

Ten out of ten, never better.

Oh, stop, go on.

I know this
isn't going to be easy,

but it's what he wanted.

And he finally
got off this island.

- Yeah.
- So come on up.

This is not sad girl summer.
We are on an island.

We are hanging on the beach,

and you, bestie,
are dancing with me.

Hey, lovebirds, come on!

Come on.

So, Midnight Society, my only advice to you

is to always go headfirst into the mystery

because you never know
who you'll become

on the other side.

See you around the campfire.
Your friend, Max.

So what should we do?

You know, we have this fire.

Be a shame to waste it.

Should we put it to a vote?

You know, tonight's
a very special night.

Normally, when we meet around
the fire to tell tales,

each one of us has our own
special brand of terrors.

Some talk about
witches and the occult.

Others talk about Lovecraft
and weird science.

And some talk about
fabulous creatures

in sickening costumes,

or heroes searching
for the truth.

You know,
no two stories are alike,

and no two of us are alike,

and that's why two of us
are telling the story tonight.

- Two of us?
- What are you talking about?

Yeah,
who's the other storyteller?

Bella.

Do you think
she's really here right now?

No.

I know she is.

Which is why
she is going to help me

tell the story tonight.

And who knows
who else might be listening?

Because now we know
spirits are all around us,

and we're never truly alone.

And this story
is so major

that it needs
the best of both of us.

There's magic in it.
That's me.

And mayhem.
That's Bella.

It's about an evil power
so strong

that it survived
over the centuries,

waiting to step up
and spread its terrors,

growing more cunning and more
powerful as the years went by.

And in this story,

there's only one thing
to be afraid of.

What?

Submitted for the revival

of the Midnight Society...

I call this story...
