Emerald City (2016–2017): Season 1, Episode 3 - Mistress - New - Mistress - full transcript

- Previously
on "emerald city"...

- Help me.

- What happened to you?
- I don't remember.

Where does the road lead?
- To the wizard of oz.

And he can probably
take me home.

- Find out who or what
fell from the sky.

And make sure it doesn't
come back to emerald city.

- The witch of the east
is dead.

- Squeeze the trigger.

- A hole carved neatly
out of our sister's head.

I found our sister's killer.



- We are the last cardinal
witches, you and I.

- how is he?

- Please, my friend needs help.

Who's up there?

- It's a boy.
- Who you keep locked up.

Come on, we're
getting you out of here.

- I need my medicine.

- you have no idea
what you've done!

- stop it, Lucas!
Stop!

- You all right?

- I need that medicine.

- Tip...

- It's me, Jack.
Something's happened.

- Lucas?



Lucas!

You shouldn't have that.

- I don't think
anyone should.

- Give it to me.

- What's it called?

- A gun.

- When you kill someone
with a sword,

at least you got to
work at it.

- Some of us.

- That woman was
going to kill you,

so I acted on instinct.

- And that's what scares me.
- Well, maybe it should.

Look,
whatever's inside me...

I'll discover it soon enough
and so will you.

When all is laid bare,
I'm just one man with a sword.

I'm sure there are
thousands like me,

no one of us
more dangerous than the next.

But none of us are
as terrifying...

As you with this.

Here.

- What is that?

- That's the
witch of east's keep.

- The mistress of the eastern
wood, most merciful and stern,

is dead.

She controlled the weather.

Now it mourns for her.

- How'd she die?

- Murdered.

- tip?

Have you made your mind up?

Tip.

Have you decided
what you want to do?

- You mean about
waking up a girl?

I don't know.

Is there something I can do?

If there is,
then please tell me.

- Do you want to
turn around and go home?

'Cause we will.

- No.

- Then we go to ev.

We find more medicine.

Whatever happened,
we'll fix it.

We'll turn you
back to you.

- Why have we stopped?

- wizard's guard
blocking the road.

- what would you have me do?

- Not butcher anyone.

- What if it's me
they're looking for?

- Lucas, they think
you're dead.

- We should go.

Before they realize I'm not.
Come on.

- No.

The wizard's guards
can take me to emerald city.

- I...I guess this is where
we say good-bye, then.

- then I guess it is.

- Bye.

- they're in the back.
In the last car.

- Toto, I know what
you're thinking.

Don't do it.

Toto!

Toto?

- shh!

- What're you doing?

Find the girl.

She must die.

Now!

- Why does he want me dead?

- Because the wizard
wants you dead.

- how did they get up there?
- I'm told they climbed.

- 200 feet?
Without ropes?

Without anyone seeing them?

- Your people are
assuming they flew.

- are they witches?
- No.

They're possessed
by magic.

- What're they doing now?

Speak!

- It's a ritual.

- For what?

Suicide.

- What did I ever do
to this wizard?

Why would he
want to kill me?

- Well, maybe you're
more dangerous than I am.

- I really hope that when
we figure out who you are,

you're one of those guys that
says "oh, don't worry about it,

everything's gonna be okay,"
all the time.

- Don't worry about it,
everything's gonna be okay.

Once we figure out
where we're going.

I already have.

- The witch of the east's
castle?

A-are you--are you mad?

- Well, we can't
go to emerald city.

The wizard's not gonna help you
get your memory back.

He's not gonna
help me get home.

He's not gonna help, period.
So...

I need to find another way.

- Sorry, to do what?
To get yourself killed?

- I came here in a tornado.

Maybe I can leave in one.

- the return of
the beast forever

weighs on everyone's mind.

The tear in the sky,
the death of mistress east--

we've been flooded with signs
and portends

that require our analysis
if we are to determine

when it will arrive
and what form it will take

before it lays waste
to all of us.

- What about these portends
who committed magical suicide

in front of me
and half the city?

Who are they?

- We are, as always,
separating wheat from chaff.

- These women are not chaff!

- If I may?

Field patterns of a remote
region in the west.

They bear similarity
to these engravings

made before the beast
appeared in 1378.

- What form did it take
back then?

- Fire.

- How long did it take to come?

- When the two moons
became one.

- Well, that's in--
- eight days.

- Yes.

- Until the beast
incinerates us all.

- If I may?

Um...

Since I am new
and lacking in wisdom

and therefore useless
to your aid,

can I be spared
to help the wizard?

I mean no disrespect,
but the field pattern

is not a sign
of the beast forever.

Elizabeth is wrong.

The death of mistress east
leaves the weather in chaos.

That field is heavy
with dew-frost.

It's going to
snow tonight.

That's all it means.

You're here for a few days,

you're contradicting
my most talented councilwoman.

- Second most talented.

And there's no need
for an autopsy

to determine where
these women came from.

- mistress west.

The wizard of oz has demanded
an audience with you.

- When I was 12...

My mom sat me down.

She told me
she wasn't my mom.

That my dad wasn't my dad.

My real mom's name
was Karen Chapman.

My whole life, I imagined
what it would be like, and...

The moment
i did finally meet her,

I was taken here.

- Dorothy.

You can't just
control a tornado.

It's not a dog.

And you're not
the witch of the east.

- Yeah, I know.

- W-what if it kills you?

- Lucas, I'd rather
die trying than never

get a chance
to see her again.

- Come to loot?

Come to steal?
- No.

We...

We come for shelter.

- To loot.

To steal.

- No, we--we wouldn't do that.

- Your lives I must take
in my mistress' stead.

Faith and fealty to the end.

- No, please!

- Dorothy...

- you wear the elements.

My mistress' gauntlets.

- Yes.

Yes, I do.

- Are you my new mistress?

- yes, I am.

I am your new mistress.

- Tip, we're here.

That's what
ev looks like.

- Come on.
What you waiting for?

- Move it, boy!

- what?
You don't like it?

- I don't know.

- You've eaten the same food
your whole life.

It's gonna be different.
Everything is.

- Everything is.

I just want to get the medicine
and get back to normal.

I feel like I'm wearing
someone else's skin.

- I'll ask around.

I'm sure there's
a herbalist nearby.

- You want to do it
before you grow old?

- Yeah, yeah.

- Unless you're planning on
making money off them,

you might want to stop
advertising.

- Oh, no.

No, no.

- Name's Sullivan.

Keeper-of-the-house.

This one cleaned the chambers.

Stoked a fire.

But running off like he did
is a blood crime,

mistress-new-mistress.

- Running off is a blood crime.
Understand?

- Mistress never spoke of you.

But I heard whispers of
an acolyte.

- She felt it was best
to keep my secret.

- Did mistress
pass peacefully?

Were you there?

- I-i-i wasn't...

But I was told she passed
very peacefully.

- That lifts my heart
to hear,

mistress-new-mistress.
- How 'bout just mistress?

- Your command.

- Sullivan?

The cyclone above
the castle--take me to it.

- Oh, yes, the weather
must be settled,

or it'll devour
this castle whole.

That is why you've come,
to settle the weather.

You have been trained, yes?

The elements
are yours, proper?

- yes, they're mine.

Proper.

- Good.

But first,
you must be purified.

When you are finished with the
rituals of purification,

you will dress for
the ceremony of elements...

And settle the weather.

you will find everything
to your liking, my mistress.

Servants' quarters,
down the hall.

They're empty.

swordsman must
surrender his sword.

I am the mistress' blade now.

- Lucas.

Lucas...

Just give him your sword.

- listen to me
very carefully.

If you can't do
what he's asking,

he's gonna kill you.

And now I can't stop him.
- I don't need you to.

All I need is for that
tornado to take me

as far away
from here as possible.

- Dorothy, I may have
lost every thought,

every memory I ever had,
but I do know this:

Reckless--it's not
the same as brave.

- I'm going home.

- Dorothy!

- Three dead girls--your
girls--hanging in the square!

- Tragic, I know.

I'll need to find
replacements.

If you're looking for
a career change...

- Magic!

That I banned from oz.

Here in emerald city!

Should I awake my giants
to make an example of you?

- You think I had something
to do with this?

I'll have my
councilwomen determine

whether you're
guilty or innocent.

Sure picked the right one
for the job.

You don't know.

Whee hee hee!
How amusing.

- Know what?

- Your mother worked here.

Before you were born.

And after.

But she wanted
a better life for you,

so she gave you up,
sent you far, far away.

Only to have you return.

I bet under that robe,

you're just as succulent
as she was.

She was succulent.

Tasted her, myself.

So did he.

Don't worry,
she's not yours.

You can taste her, too.

- Wanna get purified?

Yeah, me neither.

Right.

- So what says
"settle the weather,

or get killed by a psycho"?

- um, you look...

- Like mistress of
the eastern wood.

Most merciful and stern.

- Yeah, can we just
settle this weather?

- Surely old-mistress
showed you the lake!

And the sharpness.

- Do you think I'm
supposed to swim the lake?

- I...

I'm guessing
that's the sharpness.

- Why do you not use
the elements?

- Ritual of elements.

Ritual of elements.

- Dorothy?

- My name is frank Morgan.

You think my mother
christened me the wizard of oz?

I was a man before
i was a wizard.

- You harness lightning

and control giants.

- Anna...

Before I came to emerald city,
i had no such power.

Not for lack of trying.

I studied hard.

And I worked harder.

I-i-i desperately wanted
to be noticed.

I just...

I wasn't noticeable.

Not like you.

- Why are you telling me this?

- Because that was my past.

Because I took my past
and I obliterated it.

People called me the
wizard of oz

because I demanded it.

Crushed anyone
who denied me the name.

Your past does not
define you.

Your mother does not
define you.

All that matters...

Is who you wish to be.

And how hard you're willing
to fight for it.

- what did she look like?

My mother?

- I don't remember.

- Good.

- can I help you
find something?

- Uh, yes.

I need more of this.

- Well, do you know
what it is?

- I've got bad blood.

- "Bad blood"?
- That's what my guardian said.

She made it.

- So...

Where is this
guardian of yours?

- Died of old age.

Almost 100 years old.

How she would have loved
to see the day.

- Hmm.

- But without her, my friend
has no more medicine.

- Mm, some of these
country remedies

are impossible to figure.

I'll give it a try.

Mom.

- Do all the girls
take poppies?

- Most of take them
every once in a while.

Just for fun.

- And those women
who jumped,

what can you
tell me about them?

- They were just like the rest.

Except they wake the old men.

Men who couldn't...

"Raise the flag,"
if you get me meaning.

- I believe I do.

- I confess.

I didn't do it.
- That's for Anna to decide.

However, your punishment
will be my decision.

- I am a cardinal witch.

The last of our kind.

I have powers
you can't even fathom.

And I own a run-down brothel.

Because I hate magic
even more than you.

- Do you?

- I'm glad you banned it.

I'm glad not to use it.

Magic was a drug
even worse than the poppy.

Lot of good it did us against
the beast forever.

All those powerful witches.

And their powerful spells.

Drowned by the beast.

And me...

Useless to stop it.

Where's the magic in that?

- Come this way, please.

I can't make you
your medicine, love.

Which is to say, I won't.

No one will,
not anywhere,

and you shouldn't
ever ask again.

- Why?
- Because you could hang for it.

It's a black elixir,
it's magic.

It disturbs
your true nature.

- My true nature?

- What you are right now,
what's under those clothes,

that's not a side effect
of the medicine wearing off.

That's what happens when the
medicine itself wears off.

- But I'm a boy.

I've always been a boy.

- Yes, someone may have
wanted that,

and they gave you this
to make it so.

But it's not
how you were born.

This is how you were born.

- if I may?

- Just tell me
Elizabeth was wrong.

- She was.

But not about the timing.

The beast forever will come
when the two moons become one.

- And then what?

- The beast that comes will not
take the form of fire.

It will be far, far worse.

Those girls who
leapt to their deaths,

their magic did not come
from mistress west.

It came from
the beast itself.

This is a beast
who knows you.

- Knows me?

- Exploits your
greatest fears,

reveals your
greatest weakness.

- I have no weakness.

- Except that you've lost
control of your giants.

Haven't you?

The beast chose those women
because of the men they served.

Men who were impotent.

Just like the eternal warrior,
the beast knows everything.

- Well, you also thought
that it would

snow during sun season.

Snow.

Will that be all, Anna?

- I don't think you ever
controlled the giants.

I think their power is locked
inside the prison of the abject.

And that is why
you want it opened.

I'm saying this
for your benefit

and for the benefit of oz.

I will tell no one.

Not even glinda.

- Dorothy!

- Mistress!
The weather!

You didn't settle
the weather!

- I can't!

- Of course you can.

You have the elements.

You walked the lake
and the sharpness.

Where did you go?

- How did this get here?

- You went to
the wrong place.

You picked the wrong object,
mistress.

The remnants will not
settle the weather.

Those objects
belong to interlopers

who never belonged in oz.

- No, i-i...
I know this person.

- That's not possible.

That belongs to
the interloper.

The wizard of oz brought
interloper here, himself.

To send her back.

How could you have
seen this person?

- She's my mother.

- Then you are no mistress.

You are interloper, too.

- No! No!

- Stop!

Or swordsman dies.
- No.

- Is this what you did
to my mistress?

- No!
- Lie...

Loot and steal.
- No!

- Tell me, or swordsman dies!

- She killed herself!

I lied.

- It wasn't peaceful.

- No.
No, it wasn't.

That's why I have
the gauntlets.

There is no acolyte;
The weather will not be settled.

It's over!

I'm really sorry,
just please don't hurt him.

- Let's go.
Come on!

- Toto!

Toto?

- You were right.

- About what?

- I am far more
dangerous than you are.

My mother was in oz, Lucas.

My mom was in oz.

- We'll find you answers.

- No.

My answers were here,

and now they're gone
because of me.

- The wizard brought
your mother here.

He'll have your answers.

- The wizard wants me dead.

- Well, how much are those
answers worth?

Huh?

where are you going?

Dorothy.

- To see the wizard.

- Please, sir.

This is of the
utmost importance.

You must listen to me.

There is no doubt
that the beast forever

will reveal itself
as a hailstorm of fire.

It will Blaze through oz until
it has obliterated that which

fell from the sky
and everything else

that stands in its path.

And only your eternal warriors
can stop it.

An army of stone which fire
cannot consume.

on behalf of the high council,

we advise you to animate your
stone giants immediately.

Before we all burn.

- tip!

tip!

tip.

Why did you run off
like that?

I've been looking
everywhere for you.

- It's a joke.

Everything.

My whole life.
Me.

Everything.

- What do you mean?

- This is me.

This.

These.

Her.

I've always been this.

I was born this.

- No, that's...Crazy.

Why would mombi--

- why does anyone
do anything?

- You're still tip!

- Really?
Am I tip?

Because tip thought
if he ran away,

if he just got clear
of that place,

then maybe he could
find a life.

- We can still do that.
- You can.

- It's gonna be okay.

- Stop doing that.

It's not okay,
it's not gonna be okay!

Someone took me,
someone stole me,

and the worst part is,
I'm still here!

no.

No, no, no--
- I stole it for us.

We can sell the emeralds.

We can stay together,
no matter what.

- what are you doing?

- I don't know why
i did that.

- You can't do that!
- I'm trying--

- you of all people!
- I'm sorry!

- This isn't me!
