Midnight, Texas (2017–…): Season 1, Episode 10 - The Virgin Sacrifice - full transcript

Previously on
Midnight, Texas...

The veil between
the living and the dead
is awful thin here.

I think you're gonna lead an
army and seal the veil forever.

It's your destiny.
I got a vision.

Midnight in flames and
you in the center,

the only one to stop it.

You need to go back.

If I don't, they all die?

You came back.

You and I, we've got
unfinished business.

I'm here
because of her.



I don't want to be turned.

Once you turn,
you'll like it.

Olivia, I'm so...

Back off!

Despite what happened,
I love you.

As soon as Fiji's safe,

I'm leaving Midnight.

Fiji...

Colconnar, he's chosen you.

There's no way in hell
I'm letting this thing

get anywhere near you,
I promise, Fij.

I'm a virgin witch,
a powerful virgin witch,

and that is why it wants me.

Your emotions...



You need
to control them.
Jeremy?

Colconnar sent me because
he knew you'd listen to me.

Go to him willingly,
or they all die.

We know where
they're taking her.

Going back to Midnight,
bringing her to Colconnar.

To use her.

When the demons came through
the veil last time,

they used women
to go forth and multiply.

That thing wants to...

It wants to have sex with her.

Which is utterly awful.

But not surprising.

Fiji's as powerful a natural
witch as I've ever seen.

All the more powerful
because she hasn't...

Yes, we know. She's a virgin.

I don't give a damn
why it wants her.

It's not gonna lay
a finger or a claw

or whatever the hell
it has on her.

We won't let it.

What has he done?

You can
feel him, can't you?

Getting closer,

stronger.

Oh, God, is that it?
Not yet.

He will come to you tonight.

Fiji...

Colconnar is very
eager to meet you.

When I died,

the shaman said
the first demon was gonna rise

on the night of a blood moon.
That's tonight.

Well, besides the creepy name,
what does that mean?

Xylda and I wouldn't
even do readings

on nights of blood moons.

They create a potent
psychic environment

that can be a conduit for evil.

It's too dangerous.

It's also a full moon.

This just keeps
getting better.

Fiji's spell worked.
I know how to kill Colconnar.

Oh, God.

Colconnar sent them
to guard you.

Creek, Olivia, Bobo,

you guys find Fiji.

Keep her safe until
Colconnar's gone.

Done.

How are you gonna kill it?

Details aren't important.
Aren't they?

Before we worry about
killing Colconnar,

what are we gonna do
about the wraiths?

They barely touched me...

burned right
through my clothes,
hurt like hell.

What kind of weapons
did we bring?

This is everything.

Wraiths are spirit
manifestations of evil.

An ax isn't gonna cut it.

I'm thinking we go old school.

They're evil.

Evil doesn't like holy water.

It burns, they recoil.

We clear a path to Fiji.

Will this do?

Yeah, I can sanctify this

and bless these weapons.

While they're with Fiji,
we head to the pawn shop.

Why the pawn shop?

There's stuff there I need.

Hey.

Are you gonna be okay
using consecrated weapons?

Over the years, I've developed
a tolerance for holy water.

At most, it stings.

Wow, I hate to break
it to you, but you're
just not that evil.

It can't be easy for you,
knowing what Colconnar
intends for Fiji.

Nothing's going
to happen to her.

You look tired.

You need energy?

Or do you need
to not be scared?

Maybe.

But we're not
together anymore,
so...

probably not the best idea.

There's something
you're not
telling me.

How exactly are you
planning to kill Colconnar?

Details aren't...
Important?

You said that.

You're trying to spare me,
aren't you?

Look, we're gonna do this,
whatever the risks are.

So, yeah, I'm trying
to spare you.

And I'd appreciate
it if you let me.

Fine. Spare me.

But don't die this time.

Deal.

It's time you prepare yourself
for his arrival.

You look unworthy.

Jeremy, Jeremy,
Jeremy, Jeremy...

If there's any part of you

in there,

your heart, your kindness,

please don't let him
do this to me.

There is no part
of me that's Jeremy.

You're one of them.

Colconnar was in my head...

In my sleep, in my dreams.

It's how Colconnar knows you.

Which means...

We all know you.

We're a reminder.

You're not all that different
from Colconnar.

Your powers destroy.
They kill.

Just like his.

It's time you got
ready for him.

Don't cry...

Fiji.

He's right.

I have to get ready.

Okay, we save Fiji,

kill a demon,

close a portal to hell.

And we don't die.
Sound like a plan?

My flesh is burning.
Stop talking.

Let's go.

They're in front
of the church.

Looks like all the wraiths
are by you.

Yeah, looks like.

And they look different,
like more solid.

Doesn't matter.

They're still spirit
manifestations.

They can take any
shape they want.

They're evil, and
consecrated weapons will work.

Any idea what they're doing?

On second thought, never mind.

They'll distract
the wraiths for us.

How?

Well, that was effective.

But not for that long.

It's clear. Let's go.

Damn it. Go to Fiji's.

I'll make sure you're covered.

Olivia!
Go!

Get inside the pawn shop!

Come on. Let's go inside.

Fiji!
Open up!

It's us!

Fiji!

Creek, Bobo, what are you...

You should not have come back.

I left so that you
would be safe,

so that what happened
to Manfred would
not happen to...

Nothing happened.

He died, but he came
back to life.

And your spell worked.
He got answers.

Okay. Well, thank goddess
he's alive.

But still, I do not want
anybody else getting hurt!

No. Manfred knows
how to stop Colconnar.

We're not leaving you.

Maybe I want you to.

I can deal with Colconnar.

But I cannot deal
with you dying for me.

Olivia's coming.

Get her on the couch!

Gonna be all right, okay?

Fiji's gonna take care of you.

No!

Manfred...

Manfred...

Manfred!

What exactly are
you looking for?

The shaman said that to fight
evil, I need to know evil.

There are spirits
tethered to objects here.

Some of them are evil.

You think any of them
are demonic?

I'm sure,

given some of the folks,
supernatural and otherwise,

who pawned things
over the years.

Let me see what I can find.

She's in a lot of pain.

I know that.

My salve healed me,
healed you.

But Olivia's burns are deep.

I'm not sure salve's
gonna help her.

Try.

I really wish you'd
have stayed away.

You're gonna take this.
It's gonna be a little gritty,

but it's gonna make you sleepy

and stop the hurt.

Might even give you
a fun dream or two.

Ugh! It's awful.

I know.

Let me take a look at...

The wraith did a number on you.

Mmm-hmm.

But you are an assassin.

I'm sure you been
in worse scrapes.

It's Manfred.

Don't tell him.

Olivia.

Lem would want
to know the truth.

It'll distract them.
And they don't need that.

I'm telling you.

Don't.

Manfred?

Yeah, we made it to Fiji's.

You don't need
to worry about her.

She's okay.

You just focus
on Colconnar, okay?

'Cause nightfall's
not far off.

Thank you.

You're right. Okay.

Love you.

And, yes,

I know that's a first.

Did you say that because
you don't think you're
gonna survive this?

Does it matter?

No.

I love you, too.

You wanted evil.

A, by all accounts, happy
and successful family man

found that on a hike.

That afternoon,
he beat his wife
and six children to death.

Said a demon made him do it.

Sounds perfect.

Help me, help me...

Why are they crying?

Iron spider.

Used to torture witches
during the Inquisition.

Voodoo hoof rattle.

What is it?

It's like an ice pick
behind my eye.

Man, I miss my pills.

Will this help?

Any port in a storm.

So how exactly
do you plan to
know evil?

I plan to let evil hijack me.

These are ancient,
malevolent,
demonic spirits.

Yep, that's the idea.

It could kill you.

Let's hope it doesn't.

Do you want some blood?

My blood?

Thanks, but no thanks.

Vampires aren't exactly
efficient against demons.

I know.

And, no, it wasn't
to turn you, Manfred.

I'd have to feed
on you for that.

Vampire blood makes humans
stronger, heal faster.

There are side effects, but,

being possessed by demons
could have side effects, too.

I'll stick to this.

I have some more items
in the basement, if you want.

These, these will be enough.

Okay.

She's burning up.

I'm worried about infection.
She should be in a hospital.

Well, then, why
don't we all leave?

'Cause the last time I left,

Colconnar sent those things
to bring me back.

I'm not putting Olivia
in any more danger for me.

I'll go. Bobo, you stay here.

Go, go with them.

I'm not going anywhere,

except to bring
your car around.

You get her ready.

The veil tearing again must
bring back memories for you.

Not good ones.

I hated being a soldier.

Bowie said that we were
fighting to exterminate
those inferior to us.

Never seemed worth
the bloodshed. But this
battle, it's different.

It's worth it.

Because now Midnight's home.

Would you like me
to consecrate this for you?

Are you okay?

I have a sinking feeling
I'm about to lose everything.

You're being pessimistic.

I know the level of demonic
evil Manfred's about
to unleash.

But I suppose these are
desperate times.

Desperate times

can bring out
the best in people.

Like with you.

It wasn't that long ago I kept
my distance from everyone.

I was cordial, but...
You ate alone.

Until the night my
wereself was let out.

You searched for me.

You could have put me down.

But instead, everyone
risked their lives

to protect me from
the darkness inside myself.

You're one of us.

I know that now.

Lem, we can use
my church as sanctuary

in case Colconnar
cannot be stopped.

I'm afraid that doesn't
do me any good.

I can help with that.

What are you doing?

I'm burning a healing candle,

for Olivia.

Don't look at me like that.
I'm willing it so.

Like my Aunt Mildred
would say,

intentions can change reality.

You said

that you could deal
with Colconnar.

What are you thinking?

My powers can be destructive.

I'm gonna use that.

I'm going to do
everything I can
to protect Midnight,

to protect all of you.

I may not be strong enough,

but I need you to let me try.

Try what?

Colconnar's been after
me a long time.

And he's not gonna stop.

I'm gonna stop him.

What aren't you
telling me, Fij?

I'm gonna give myself to him,

and in the process,
I'm gonna try to kill him.

That's insane.

You have no idea
how dangerous I am.

I've done this before.

Done what before?
Done what before?

What have you done before?
Killed someone!

While intimate,
I killed someone.

Fij...

Please, will you
just talk to me?

What's going on?
I loved him.

And I killed him.

I killed...

I didn't mean to, but I did.

His name was Jeremy.

Have you ever been possessed
by a demonic spirit?

Angry ex-husband?
Yes. Demon? No.

So you intend
to be possessed

by multiple demonic spirits
on the night of a blood moon?

What happens if you can't
control those spirits once
they're inside you?

Well, then, we're all screwed,
aren't we?

Manfred, are you
sure about this?

Hell no, I'm not sure.

But the prophecy says,

a man of vision who
can bridge the worlds

of the living and
the dead, right?

Never mentions what
kind of dead,

so this is the only way
that makes sense to me.

So unless anyone else
has a better idea,

this is what we're going with.

What do you need from us?

Joe, Lem, if you can,

stay close, in case
I can't control these demons?

Rev, it's almost nightfall.

Moon's about to rise, so...

May I use your basement?

Of course.

I will pray for you
until I turn.

See you in the morning.

Spirits tethered
to these objects,

I call to you.

I want to release you
from your binds to this world.

If you can hear me,

give me a sign.

I invite you,

cross over,

let me see you.

Is it working?

Oh, yeah, it is.

We're gonna be there
really soon, okay?

I...

I need you to give
Lem a message.

You can tell him yourself
as soon as you're better.

This may not end happy.

We don't know that.

But in case it doesn't,
what's the message?

I would have come back to him.

I'm offering a way out.

Help me,

and you don't have to be
tethered to this world
anymore, in limbo.

You can get out
of this pawn shop.

Move on.

Come on.

I want to make a deal.

Should we intervene?

No.

But you didn't intend
to hurt him.

But I intend
to hurt Colconnar.

Gonna take all my anger

and my hurt,

and do to him what
I did to Jeremy.

He's a demon from hell.

What you got planned

isn't gonna work,
you know that.

But I got a better idea.

Colconnar wants you
because you're a virgin witch,

so instead of giving
Colconnar what he wants,

how about you don't?

What does that even mean?

I think you know
what it means.

You're kidding, right?

Wait, you're suggesting
that we...

While the world's ending
right outside this door?

Can't very well do it
after the world ends.

This isn't funny.

No, it's not. You're right.

But it's something
I've thought about
for a long time.

Since that first day
you walked into the pawn shop

with that plate of sand tarts.

You remember the cookies?

Of course I do.

I thought you were
out of my league.

Shut up.

You are beautiful

and kind and funny.

Don't tell me you haven't
thought about it.

Of course I have.

I just

never imagined it like this.

What'd you imagine?

Well...

I thought...

I thought I'd make you dinner.

A roast.

And twice-baked
potatoes, maybe.

Then, we'd watch a movie.

I'd pick something
scary so you'd

put your arm around me, but...

Like this?

Like that.

You're not scared?

You're not that same girl
you were back then.

So no.

Not one bit.

Bring
the virgin witch to me.

Not gonna happen.

Evil is
making you powerful.

Join us.

I'll pass.

Your mistake.

Why don't you stop there?

You're not laying
a finger on her.

I don't want to hurt you.

You won't.

And if you do,

I will die happy.

Bobo,

this isn't a joke.

I love you too much
to hurt you.

So don't.

You will it so.

Your magic is strong
because you are strong.

Your love is strong.

And I trust you,

completely.

So can we stop talking now?

Fiji...

What did you do?

No!

Now you all die.

You need more power.

Emilio, no!

You don't belong here.

Here, the man who sold it

thought he was
the devil himself.

This is over.

No!

Get out of Midnight!

No!

You're free now.

Get out of me

and go to hell.

Are you all right?

I'm not sure.

But Colconnar's gone.

He is.

You're safe.

We all are. Thank you.

Hey, Lem, there's something
you need to know.

Hey.

Just with everything going on,
I didn't know who else to call.

Please, please.
How's she doing?

They say she has burn sepsis,

and she's not responding
to the antibiotics

and she might not
make it through the night.

Oh, God. Okay.

Creek.

I'm sorry.

She's hanging on,
but they said

there's nothing more
they can do.

She gave me a message for you.

She can tell me herself.
Where is she?

I'm not dead.

I healed you
with a little blood.

But I thought you said...

Vampire blood's not good
for humans.

It isn't.

But I couldn't
lose you, Olivia.

I'm sorry.

You won't.

Didn't mean to worry you.

Things were touch-and-go
for a while, but she's strong.

Your little girl's
gonna be just fine.

No, don't. Do not
step foot in Midnight.

You do, things will
get ugly real fast.

Now, trust me.
I have my eyes on her.

You're tempted, aren't you?

Yeah, I am.

You want to tell me
what you spared me from?

I let demon spirits
hijack my body.

"Spirits," plural.

Six.

They helped me send
that thing back to hell.

But I saw what they saw,
felt what they felt,

and...

that wasn't great.

Sorry about that.

Do you think it's time
that you and I...

Family isn't
always about blood.

Family are the people

that accept you as you are,

without judgment.

The people that stand with you
in joy and agony.

With family, love doesn't
come with conditions.

Sacrifices are made willingly,

if only to spare
your loved ones pain.

And if you're
exceptionally lucky,

you're born into that.

But sometimes not.

Oh, my God, I'm so late.
Sometimes it takes

a long time
to find that family.

Most of us know
what it's like to be alone,

solitary.

But because we know loneliness,

we recognize the miracle,
the magic,

committing to that family,

for good or bad,

sickness or health,

aging and not.

It's time to exchange
the rings.

Don't worry.

Platinum. Not silver.

In over a century,
I never married.

You are an adventure,
Olivia Charity.

Mmm.

Well,

most men, my father included,

they're the reason
I do what I do for a living.

They made me angry
and violent and cold,

but you,

dead guy...

You came along and made
me human again.

My pleasure.

I don't feel anything.

Maybe Manfred sealed
the veil for good.

Maybe.

Or maybe he closed it
for a thousand years.

That's a ways away.

I can live with that.

Want to go home?

Is it rude?

No.

How about we go,

then we come back
in a little bit?

So long as we come
back before the cake.

Again?

Lucky.

You know none of this
would have happened
without you.

Well, I wouldn't have
come back if it
wasn't for you,

so by extension, it's...

All this is because of me?

Yay me.

Yay you.

How about you dance with me?

Dancing,
not my favorite thing.

Yeah, but it's mine.

Come on.

The hell is that?

You can hear that
rumbling too?

How can I not?

Oh, gosh.

Apologies.

A terrible first impression.

The trucks weren't supposed
to arrive for another day...

Who are you?

Melanie Pratt,

work with Albany Worldwide.

We're a hospitality company

and the new owners
of the hotel.

Why would you buy the hotel?

We're renovating.

I mean, it is
a historic property.

I don't think that's wise.

This will completely
revitalize Midnight.

We'll make this town
a destination.

We'll get tourists
in here from all over.

This town has
a very colorful history.

That's one way to put it.
