Lost Girl (2010–2016): Season 2, Episode 12 - Masks - full transcript

The Ash reveals the truth behind Nadia's curse - but refuses to allow Lauren the chance to save her lover. That job falls to Bo, and it takes her on a dangerous journey to the far corners of the Earth.



Someone's up early.

Rise and shine,
my new mantra.

You got something
special planned?

My Aunt Vera, you know
the one with the man-hands-

She's having this big,
"Stariy Noviy God" party.

You know all the
"borscht" and "pirogi"

and "vareniki"

that a girl could
ever hope for-

Sounds,
uh, festive.

No one's ever really
used "festive"



to describe our
family gatherings.

More like noxious,
semi-psychotic, deviant,

but never festive-

You know if you're
not doing anything

I could swing you
an invite.

My cousin Yura
will be there

and he's been dying
to meet you.

Didn't he just
get out of jail?

No, that's Pavel.

Yura is the one that works
as a mortician's apprentice.

Yeah and once you
get past the smell

of embalming fluid
he's actually kind of fun.

Maybe
some other time.

Well-
I'm off to my run.



Okay, well stay on
the shoulder of the road

and don't forget
to hydrate!

And avoid
small, bite-y dogs!

She's totally
clueless. We're on.



So what's next on the
agenda? Torture?

I was hoping you'd be
ready to go back to work.

(laughing)

You lock me in a dungeon
for four days I'm supposed

to be so grateful to be let
out that I just head back

to the lab as though
nothing happened?

You've forgotten
your place here.

I just refuse
to play anymore.

I'm gonna pack my things
and take my chances

with the Morrigan, because
she seems to know

a hell of a lot more about
Nadia's condition than you do.

punishment will be
swift and severe.

As severe as five years
of indentured servitude?

We seem
to have got off

on the wrong foot this
morning, Doctor.

Well, that will happen when you
lock someone in a dungeon.

I called you up here
because I have

some information
about Nadia.

I read the journals
of the former Ash,

I discovered who ordered
the curse on Nadia.

It was
The Ash himself.

What?

Why?!

It's obvious really.

He needed a cure
for the outbreak that

was ravaging the
Fae, and he saw you

as someone who
could provide that.

He pulled you into the
fold and kept you there.

It was a lie.

I worked night and
day for the Ash.

I don't condone what he
did but you're just

gonna have to put
that behind you now.

Oh and what?
Continue working here?

I'd rather burn the
place to the ground.

That wouldn't bring
you any closer

to Nadia's recovery,
now would it?

Besides I believe
I've located the Shaman

who placed
the curse on Nadia.

He's in a village
in the Congo.

I can go there,
talk to him.

No, it's not
that simple.

This one's
Dark Fae.

Lauren, I will do everything
in my power to help Nadia,

but for now I'd
appreciate it if you just

cleaned yourself up
and go back to work.



Life is hard when
you don't know who you are.

It's harder when you
don't know what you are.

My love carries
a death sentence.

I was lost for years.

Searching while hiding.

Only to find that I belonged
to world hidden from humans.

I won't hide anymore.

I will live
the life I choose.

Just the kind and generous
man I wanted to see.

How much you need?

Now that you mention it
I'm trying to raise funds

for the most kickass
hors d'oeuvres you've

ever wrapped your
sweet tongue around.

I prefer cash but I'll take
credit cards or money orders.

Cool put me down
for ten.

Ten will get us a bag of chips
and some generic brand salsa.

Come on man.

This is Bo's
special special day.

You're right-

I'll give her
the ten.

Well played.

I'll put you
down for a ten-ski.

And you're still getting
the cake, right?

Cake!

I'm on it.

Trickster, I can still count
on your for the hooch, yeah?

Like I told you yesterday
and the day before that,

and the day before that,
I got it covered.

I'm sorry, I just don't wanna
forget anything you know?

I still got the
decorations and the ice

and the cups
and the band-

The band?

Yeah dude.
This soiree's gotta rock!

You know there's nothing
too good for my-

Bo!

Hey!

Hey!

Kenzi: Um-
How was your run?

Oh like everyday.
A grind.

Yes but everyday
you still do it,

isn't that the
definition of insanity?

Hey Hale.
What's new?

Uh...same old.
You know.

You got any big
plans for the weekend?

There's this um,
club opening tonight,

so I thought I'd
check that out.

Bo: Oh, cool.

What about
you Trick?

You're looking
at it.

Barkeeper's job doesn't
end until the taps are dry.

How about you?

Uh, nothing special.

I thought maybe I'd
give Lauren a call.

Haven't talked to her
in a while so thought

I'd see if she'd get
shore leave for a night.

(phone ringing)

Ah!
Speak of the devil!

Hey!

Why?

Yes.

Alright!

I take it not Lauren?

It was Lachlan.

What did he want?

He wants to see me.

Lemon and sugar?

I'm good, thanks.

Why am I here?

Always so impatient.

You've got to learn
to enjoy the moment, Bo.

Or life will
just pass you by.

You called me here to preach
fortune cookie philosophy?

No, I called you here
because I have

some information
regarding Nadia.

You have my attention.

I've located the Shaman
that put the curse on her.

I thought you might pay him
a visit, persuade him

to remove the nail
and lift the curse.

Why me?

The Shaman is a Dark Fae
mystic known as Tshombe.

Lives in a small little
village in the Congo.

Since you are unaligned
and have a certain

personal interest in
the matter, you are

the perfect candidate
for the job.

I appreciate
you telling me.

Oh and there's
one other thing-

Oh, here we go-

It's so simple yet
very very critical.

You can never tell Lauren
that you're doing this.

Why not?

Because the nail can only
be removed if the person

making the request
has got complete

and utter selfless love,
which is then exemplified

by performing a
life-changing favor

for someone without them
ever being aware of it.

I don't make up the rules
but you must accept

this as fact, or you
will not be successful.

Well-

I don't need credit
for helping a friend.

I only care
about the results.

Can I at least see
Lauren before I go?

No.

She's in the middle of a
very critical analysis now

and can't be disturbed.

So, how exactly do I
find this Tshombe?

That's my
travel agent-

I'll call ahead and make
all the arrangements.

(speaking Russian)

What was that
all about?

My cousin Dima is helping me
out with the party favors.

Party favors?

Every chic party hostess gives
her guests a little gift.

What would that
little gift be?

Dima's getting me a load
of digital cameras

fresh off the boat
from Japan.

The guests can
snap away tonight

then I can make Bo
an album of party pics.

I really don't want
to know the answer,

but I've gotta ask-

How is cousin Dima
acquiring these cameras?

You got the cake!

Oh, my God!

Uh huh-

Mmmm-

Hey roomie!
What's up!

I just gotta grab
something upstairs!

The girl's focused.

Yeah, when she gets like that
it usually means trouble.

Hey, hun-buns,
where are you off to?

Africa!

Africa?! As in the
dark continent?

With your sword?

Is there something
you want to tell me?

Kenzi, I can't really
talk right now, okay?

Well, are you gonna
be home for dinner?!



Hi!

Number?

Number?

Number.



DING!

Twenty-three!

You must be Bo.

I'm Bashira Falak Manar.

But you can
call me Peggy.

So Peggy, how exactly
am I getting to Africa?

Plane? Train?

(laughing)
Oh no-

We reserve that mode of travel
for our human clientele.

For you,
I fold the earth.

You seem confused.

No, I've just never-

Oh no no, of course
you haven't.

I'm the only
Fae travel agent

in this area
sanctioned by the Ash.

In conventional travel you
move towards the destination.

Here, the destination
moves towards you.

In the blink
of an eye.

You merely stand
still and the earth

is displaced
under your feet.

Well, is it safe?

Safe is such
a relative term,

I mean, there are
the normal risks,

headaches, swelling of
the joints, severe nose bleeds

and in some very
limited cases, death.

Death?!

Mmmhmm-
Accident waiver-

Simply sign at the bottom
and initial it here,

here, here
and of course here.

Oh, if you're concerned
about your loved ones,

I offer very attractive
travel insurance.

It's easy on the wallet and
pays excellent death benefits.

I'm good.
Thanks.

Okay-
So what now?

Happy trails.



Tshombe?



I'm here about
a cursing nail.

That you put into
a block of wood.



Are you okay?

Thank you child-

I am nearing the
end of my journey...

You are here on
behalf of a cursed soul.

Yes.
A woman named Nadia.

Na-dia...

These nails were
placed here for a reason.

Aren't Shamans
supposed to be healers?

Do you have any
idea how much pain

you've caused these
people's families?

Every time a
person is cursed,

it shifts the
fortunes of others.

Who is to say the world
is not a better place-

Ah...

Na-dia...

Pull it out.

The one who ordered this
curse...paid handsomely.

Someone paid you to
put a curse on her?

The former Ash
of your region.

The leader of the
Light Fae made a deal

with a Dark Fae
Shaman?

The Light do not
mind compromise.

When they feel the
ends justifies the means.

Cursing Nadia insured that
Lauren would do everything

in her power to find an
antidote to the Fae fever.

And because of that several
hundred Fae were cured.

How much to
pull out the nail?

The Goddess Ama possessed
a sacred healing mask

and gave to
a revered Shaman.

In Mali.

Two years ago
it was stolen.

Find it.

Bring it to me.

Where do I find it?

It was stolen
by a Preta.

Last I heard it was hiding
somewhere in Madagascar.

You must hurry.

I do not know if I
will survive the night.



(rock music playing)

Oooo-kay!

Wow!

Great!
Thank you guys!

I will definitely
be in touch.

(knocking)

(Kenzi groaning)

Yup?

Hey, I'm here
about the, uh...

Kenzi?

Nate??

Little Kenzi
from next door?

What's it been
like fifteen years?

Sixteen years
and three months.

Not that I was actually
keeping track-

Come in!

Where-
Where have you been?

Where did you go
when you moved away

and why didn't
you call me?!

Uh, Seattle, Reno
and...you were six.

Dude, for the longest time
I had myself convinced

it was an
alien abduction.

Close.
It was my mom.

So, uh, is this...
all yours?

Yeah, um- You know I
share it with my roomie-

It's actually
her birthday.

"Very exclusive
party gig..."

"High profile, low pay."

Very exclusive, yeah...

So have you
found anyone yet?

I have now.

Hey-

Kind of early
for ya-

Coffee or beer?

Beer.

It's been that kind
of morning, has it?

Ciara's
house shopping.

Ahhh...I see.

Wow-

Five thousand square feet
on two acres of land.

6.5 million.

All that and a
beautiful girlfriend

and you're
stressed out?

You know most men would give
at least one appendage

to be in your shoes.

I know.

My friend, at some
point you're going

to have to sort out
your emotions.

That's what I've
been trying to do

ever since Ciara came
back into my life, Trick.

Actually you're been
struggling with them

since you came back
from the Norn.

I need to know everything
you can tell me

about something
called "a Preta."

If you're planning a
Preta hunt I suggest

you bring along
some back up.

Preta are extremely
greedy creatures.

Driven to satisfy their desires
but unable to fulfill them.

Some have insatiable appetites
but can't swallow food.

Others have
unquenchable thirst

but when liquid touches
their lips it evaporates.

Others still have overwhelming
sexual urges but-

Fae-ED,
I get the picture.

This Preta has an unstoppable
lust for treasures.

He was stealing
valuables in Africa.

Sounds like he
could be your man.

Well, do you have any
idea where to find him?

Madagascar is a big place and
I don't have a lot of time.

His last known location
was in the catacombs

under the First Christ
Church in Sambava.

You know I've heard a lot
of stories about people

going into Preta
dens but no stories

about people
coming back out.

Are you scared?

Intrigued.

You have to offer
the Preta a trade.

Something of value.

Well, I don't
have anything.

Take this-

Oh, Trick,
it's beautiful.

It was my wife's.

Your wife?

How come you've never
told me about her before?

I will. In time.

Oh, Trick, I could
never take this.

I'm sure
she'd approve.

I don't know
what to say.

You've already said it.

Good luck.

I really appreciate you
helping me with this.

Ah, I had nothing
better to do today.

Besides, what
are friends for?

Come on let's go
get us a mask.



How many people are coming
to this party?

About a dozen.

By the size of this box
looks like you have

enough cameras
for the whole block.

Well, if there happen
to be a few extras,

I'm betting they catch
a few Rubles on ebay.

What do you say?

We split the profits
seventy-thirty?

Officer of the law?

Sixty-forty.

Dude, you drive
a hard bargain.

What the-

Uh, so where's
the lens?

Dima got
the wrong box!

You can't really
blame him, now can ya?

It's kinda dark out
there on the docks.

In the middle
of the night.

Dude, what am I supposed
to do for party favors?!

Hiss!

Give them
a creepy cat.

No!
This is a disaster!

Ah, it's not so bad.

We have cake!

Oh...cake-

Yep, just looking at it
makes my mouth happy.

Ah, don't you-

Bo will never miss
a little icing-

Mmmmm.
Mmmm-

What's wrong?

Ahhhhh!

A worm!

Oh, my God, I just had
a worm in my mouth!

I'm not happy!

I should have known
an organic Fae bakery

would use worms.

They probably got
lady bugs in there too.

(spitting)

Lady bugs?

Yeah.

(gagging)

We need two
tickets to Sambava,

the Catacombs at
First Christ Church.

Number?

Really.

Yeah.

DING!

Seventy-eight!

That's us.

So...Sambava.

Madagascar's beautiful
this time of year.

Honey moon?

Business trip.

Oh!
Touchy subject.

Would you like a
window or an aisle?

(laughing)

Little Fae
travel humor.

Listen, Peggy,
we are in a big hurry.

Well, fasten
your seatbelt.

That's
quite impressive.

And efficient.

Would have been a crappy
place for a honey moon.

You're here
to trade-

Yes.

Come.



You've been busy.

It's my nature.

To steal?

Yes, and endure the torture
of not being able

to enjoy the spoils.

Merely looking at a Bernini
should bring pleasure.

But my satisfaction
is purely tactile.

I need to caress the art,
feel its exquisite lines

to have
any sense of joy.

Unfortunately-



Once I obtain an object and
bring it back to my den,

I can never
touch it again.

Then why
steal all this?

THAT is my fate.

I hope one day my
affliction will be gone.

And when it is I will
bathe myself in jewels

and gold and silver.

Sounds uncomfortable.

What have you
brought to trade?



Place it on there.

Careful.

The sand...
is very dangerous.

It retains the same destructive
quality as my touch.



The bracelet in
exchange for what?

The healing mask.

Said to be from Ama.

I know the one.



Hey, babe-

I'm sorry I haven't
been here to see you

for the past few days
it's just been...

kind of busy
and you know-

Why am I lying to you?

Truth is The Ash
held me prisoner.

I guess we've both
been prisoners

for the past
five years, huh?

But maybe that's all
gonna change soon.

I don't want to get my hopes
up but there could be

a light at the end
of the tunnel.

And maybe someday real
soon you'll wake up

from your long sleep-

And maybe I'll get
to hold you again.



The mask.

Retrieve it and
the trade is complete.

It's a trap.

Not a trap.

Merely part
of your quest.

The most cherished treasures are
the most difficult to come by.

Danger only increases one's
appreciation for the prize.

I already appreciate
the mask plenty.

You have the bracelet
just give us the mask

and we can be
on our way.

I set the terms.

By the way, the piles
are the remains

of the last people
that came to trade.



Fantastic.

I'll go.

No-
I have to do this.



Bo wait-

This material doesn't
disintegrate.

It's the same
as your robe!

Dyson:
It's not affected.

Try this, I think it will
give you a safe path.

Great.



Dyson!

We've got a problem.



That isn't fair!

My terms.

Here's mine-

Ugh!

Bo, cover yourself!

You choose to take
those and leave her behind?

That's not our deal.

The deal's off!

They can't hurt me.

That isn't the point!

My treasures!

Not the Michelangelo!!!



I've got it!

Then let's go-

Trick's bracelet!

Bo, what are you doing?!
It's gone!

It belonged to his wife.

I have to bring
back something.

Okay come on,
let's go.

Noooooooo!

♪ You dream a young girl,
you're dreaming a world ♪

♪ where you're haunted
soul survives ♪

♪ The camouflage breeze
the glorious seas, ♪

♪ this bone dry
land's still alive. ♪

♪ But you're holding
every moment ♪

♪ like it's about
to be stolen away. ♪

♪ And you're closing
every door I walk up to, ♪

♪ hoping to stay. ♪

♪ It's alright,
alright, alright. ♪

♪ It's okay ♪

♪ I'll wait ♪

♪ I'll wait... ♪

You're staring.

I'm just listening.
Intensely.

Isn't that what
I'm supposed to do?

Yeah-

It's weird.
Sitting here with you.

I think it's karma.
Or kismet.

Or some other K-word that
means we were meant

to meet again.

Maybe but-
it's still weird.

I mean you were the cute
little girl next door

who used to dance around
all day in a tutu

with a big pink
bow in her hair.

Well, you were the cute
older guy next door

who would sit on his bed and
play guitar in his underwear.

You did not see me
in my underwear.

Fruit of the Loom.
If I'm not mistaken.

Uh, well,
it was hot in there,

we didn't have air
conditioning so-

Yeah, I can't believe
you spied on me.

Hey, what can I say?

I was a precocious
six year old in love.

I don't mean love...love.

I just mean-

You mean
you were six.

Yeah.

So are you
seeing anyone now?

Seeing as in dating?

As in a quasi to serious
relationship-

Yeah.
Just like that.

Not to sound like a
total loser, but um...

no, nothing
even remote...

Hm-

You?

No, I haven't found
my soul mate yet.

That's...too bad.



Number?
Don't!

Someone's a bit
jet lagged-

I need to get back to
the Congo right away.

Do you need assistance
with hotels or rental cars?

Just there and back!

Thank you.
Very much.

I could not have
done this without you.

I always wanted
to see Madagascar.

Good luck.

Can I interest you in
our frequent flyer plan?

If you sign up today you
start collecting points

and look, you get
a free t-shirt.

Maybe next time.

I just need to get
back to the Congo-

No, no, no, --



Are you okay?

Better...

Okay...

I saved your life.

Now save Nadia's.



By honoring our pact
you now have the power...

to remove the nail.



No, no, whoa-



Lauren.



You have ended
the curse on Nadia.

You do not have the
power to remove other nails.

Those nails can
only be removed-

No one has ever
done that before.

Well, maybe no one's ever
been this motivated

to right your wrongs.

Stop!

You have no idea
what you are doing!

Yes, I do!

I'm freeing
innocent people!

Not all the cursed
are innocent people.

Not even by
your standards.

This one is a violent man who
beats his wife and children.

This is a traitor who lead
his soldiers into battle

where they were
slaughtered.

None of these curses
were made lightly.

Each one has a reason.

You have no right to
be judge and jury.

And what makes you believe
that you have a right?



Maybe we just
have to agree

that neither of us
has the right.



Noooooo!

Nooo!

No, that'll be fine.

I'll have my lawyers look over
everything in the morning-

Great-

Alright, thanks-

Alright bye-

How was your day?

It was good.

Catch any bad guys?

No, but I uh...
taught one a lesson.

How was your day?

I bought
a new house.

I thought you were
just window shopping.

I was but I fell in love
with the third place I saw

and there were
five offers on it.

I had to pay a
little over asking price,

but I couldn't
resist, it's-

It's a modern. Concrete,
glass, bamboo floors-

The sunlight pours in
and it looks like heaven.

Huge barbeque pit and
gigantic master suite

with his and hers
walk-in closets and-

Sounds fantastic.

I just hope you love
it as much as I do.

And I was able to get
the mask from the Preta,

deliver it Tshombe and pull
out Nadia's cursing nail.

So, you've had
a busy day then?

Was I successful?

I believe you know your
way back up to Nadia's room.

This time you don't have
to arrive in a body bag.

Hm-

Thank you. Lachlan.

Thank you for making
all of this possible.

Try to keep that in
mind in the days to come.



Surprise!!!

(drumming)

Wow-

(music playing)

(cheering)

Happy birthday, Bo!

Awww, thank you.

Kenzi: Hi!

Hi!

Happy birthday!
Are you shocked?

I'm totally shocked.

Um there's someone
I want you to meet-

Nate, this is Bo.
Bo, this is Nate.

Hey-

Kenzi's told me
a lot about you.

Really?

Yeah, she said you were
the big sister she never had,

but she always
wished for.

Yep...

Could you get the
birthday girl a drink?

Absolutely.

Thank you.

Happy birthday.

Thank you.

Happy birthday girl!

Thank you.

Thank you
for all of this.

It was nothing.

He is cute!

Bye!

Happy birthday, Bo.

Oh, thank you-

Hey you-

Hey...

Happy birthday.

Oh, Dyson, you didn't
have to get me anything.

But what are
friends for, right?

It's a...a knife.

I figured since your
last one is a pile of sand

in Madagascar, you
could use a replacement.

Well, a girl can
never have enough

sharp pointy
objects can she?

It's perfect.
Thank you.

Hey, you.

Happy birthday.

Hi...

Hey, I'm Dyson.

Hi.

Hale: Hi-

Excuse me-

I'm Hale-
Nice to meet you.

Hi. Trick-
It's a pleasure-

Hi. Nadia-

Lauren: Bo?

Oh, hey-

Wow, so Nadia's here.

She's awake
and ready to party.

It's incredible.

Five years under the
dome and she wakes up

like it was yesterday
we were in Africa.

If you hadn't have
gotten the cursing nail

from The Morrigan we would
never have known the problem.

Yeah...

I got you something.

You didn't have to.

Blades for
my Cuisinart?

They're "shurikens."

Strange, I know,
but what do you get

the woman
who has everything?

Well, steel death
stars of course.

I worry about what
you get mixed up with

and I just want
to keep you safe.

You don't have
to worry about me.

You've got other things
to occupy your mind now.

I should get back-

Thank you.

Happy birthday, Bo.

Wow-

Oh, Trick,
I am so sorry-

About what?

The bracelet.
It was destroyed.

But for a good
cause, right?

Yeah.

That bracelet brought my wife
years and years of happiness,

and now it's bringing
happiness to others.

Go ahead-

It's...lovely.

It's an antique
walking stick.

And not a comment
on my age I hope.

Elegant...and yet...
practical.

Ah-
It's a weapon.

And you had it
monogrammed.

A very long time ago.

It was hers?
Your wife's?

Now it's yours.

Do me a favor
and keep it close.

You never know when
you might need it.

Thank you.

Happy birthday, Bo.

Thanks, Trick.

I understand birthday
wishes are in order.

I'm sorry...I don't mean to
be rude but do I know you?

From an admirer.

An admirer?

Enthusiast?

Devotee-

A fancy-er.

Thanks
for clearing that up.

Yeah, happy
to be of service-

It's...beautiful.

And it's not a weapon.

Don't be so sure.

I was told to pass on
the following message:

Read the inscription first.

I can't really-
What is it-



Yeah, happy birthday-



Kenzi: Good morning,
sunshine!

I got you a java jolt.

Double shot, three shugs
just the way you like it.

Get that sexy
heart a pumping!

Thank you
very much.

Mm-

And thank you
again for last night.

I mean, that was
so thoughtful, Kenzi.

I especially
liked the cat décor.

So, was yesterday jam-packed
with headline news or what?

Yeah it was
fairly eventful.

Says the blue ribbon
award winner

of this year's
understatement award.

You jetting off
to Africa?

Which I totally need to
the deets on by the way-

Dyson and Ciara
buying a mansion

with walk in closets bigger
than this whole place-

And Lauren's lady love
finally awakening

from the...curse
of the poison apple...

You-

You reunited with
your childhood crush.

And can we please talk
about Mr. Tall Dark

and weapons of mass
destruction handsome?

Oh yeah,
who was that guy?

I assumed
you knew him.

No, I've never
seen him before.

Hm-
Tres mysterious-o.

Oh my God, I almost forgot
your birthday present.

Hmmm let me guess-
A knife?

Maybe a pistol?

Dude, you wanted
a weapon?

I saw a really cool
pair of brass knuckles

but I thought they'd be
kind of impersonal.

Well, you
would be right.

Open it.

Oh, wow-



This is amazing.

Nate-
Talented lad.

I'm happy for you.

I want to be
happy for you too.

I know.

Oh, wow-

Thank you.

Ah-

How's the patient?

She's good.

She checks out
completely.

It's astonishing.

The Ash: No.

It's Fae.

I am extremely
grateful to you.



And I honor my promise.

Nadia's life in exchange
for my recommitment to you.

And from now on-

The necklace...

stays on.



Forever.
