Midnight, Texas (2017–…): Season 1, Episode 4 - Sexy Beast - full transcript

Previously on
Midnight, Texas...

My dad does not find out.

Hightower's
been calling all night.

I know
you're in Texas.

Her real name,
Aubrey Hamilton Lowry.

She was engaged to me.

She's married.
Name's Peter Lowry.

A white supremacist.

I didn't kill her, so tell
Lowry to stop coming after me.

Shouldn't have let
Bobo Winthrop out.

Aubrey's husband
is still out there,



and as long as he is,
this isn't over.

Olivia... she's got
more secrets than anyone.

You seem angry.

Perhaps I can take
some of that from you.

The veil that
Midnight sits upon...

it's fraying.

Evil is being drawn here.

What? No, I did not steal
Daddy's Rolex.

Quite frankly,

I am offended

that you would
even think that.

Huh?

I'm losing you.

You're cu...



Mmm.

Hi.

Now, what's a sweet,
young thing like you doing out
here all alone? It ain't safe.

How can some place
so beautiful be dangerous?

You have no idea.

So why don't you hop up
into my pride and joy here,

and I'll take you
anywhere you want to go.

Come on, I don't bite.

I really shouldn't.

Well...

I won't take no for an answer.

Safety first.

So, what brings you to Texas?

I just felt this powerful
pull to come here.

I've been drawn to a lot
of spiritual places...

Sedona, Lily Dale,
Glastonbury.

But nothing like here.
Uh-huh.

It's the energy here.

It makes me feel better
than I've felt in a long time.

Desert air's good.
It's not just that.

It's this land.

It's ancient, powerful.

It makes me feel things.

What kind of things?

Why don't you pull over?

I'll show you.

I've been meaning
to ask you about that.

Oh. Not much to tell.

My...

My grandma ran a scam
on a guy, guy got mad.

Is that guy gonna try
and shoot you again?

I'm working
on paying off her debt.

Oh, good.

I'd hate for my dad
to be right about you.

Right about what?

That you're a no-good con man
who's gonna break my heart.

Why would your father
think that?

I don't know.
The online-psychic thing,

the RV, the fact that it looks
like you're running from
something.

Well, looks can be deceiving.
Mmm.

Not in this case,
but they can.

Well, what he doesn't know is

that I don't care.

I'm just using you
for your body.

Excuse me.

I just figured after saving
his entire family from vampires,

the guy would have
cut me some slack.

Not even a little bit.

So, if you want this thing
between us to continue,

it means my dad cannot know
what we've been doing
on my lunch breaks.

Seriously.

But if it makes you
feel better,

I think this whole
sneaking-around thing's
kind of hot.

Well, it does feel less
oppressive when you
say it like that.

I'm gonna text you
after my shift.

Hey, I brought you some...

What's wrong?

Investigation, my ass.

They know who did it...
Lowry, Aubrey's husband.

Problem is
they can't find him.

They will.

Well, I happen to know
for a fact that
Sons of Lucifer

hangs out in the back room
of the Cartoon Saloon.

You're thinking about
going there, aren't you?

I don't know.
Well, you should know.

Don't.

Just let the cops do their job

and stay away from
the Cartoon Saloon.

He killed Aubrey...

killed the sheriff.

And you just got
out of jail

on suspicion of murder,

and we risked our lives
to get you out.

And you going after Lowry's
just gonna bring the cops
right back to Midnight.

That is not good for anybody.
So you will stay out of it.

You're totally right. Yep.

You bet I am.

I wasn't...

thinking straight.

You certainly were not.

I'll stay clear
of this whole mess.

I...

Promise.

Good.

Now, do you want to come over
for dinner tonight?

I am making shepherd's pie.

I love your shepherd's pie.

I know.

Hello?

I'll see you later.
Okay.

I need to speak to somebody
who works here.

That would be me.

Did a guy come in here
recently and pawn a Rolex?

Did he drive
a vintage red Caddy?

Mmm.

Ass-head. It's my brother.
He's missing, and our parents
are worried about him.

He didn't happen to say
where he was going?

He didn't say.

But I do think I know
someone who can help you.

I'm not sure moving here
was a smart play.

I thought you liked it.

I've been seeing
that cute waitress drop by.

The online-psychic thing
is fine,

but I need to make
some serious money.

Hightower's not letting up.

Well, how about
your old clients?

I bet those rich widows
would love

a little one-on-one
with "The Great Manfredo."

I doubt Bitzi Van Der Huff's
gonna drive five hours

to chat with her favorite
dead husband in a crappy RV.

You know what I'm saying.
My A-list clients expect

a certain level
of pomp and circumstance...

nice hotels,
stocked mini bar.

Makes them feel they're
getting their money's worth.

Don't fret, Manny.
I got a feeling

your luck's gonna change
real soon.

It better.

That ain't gonna help.

Actually, it does.

You didn't hear
Hightower's latest message.

You remember that tune?

It'll be the last thing
you hear before I...

He wants my heart...
stopped, on a platter.

Stop it.
Hightower's old school.

I'm worried this isn't
just about money.

He wants his pound of flesh.

You settle this debt,
he'll calm down.

Yeah, easier said than...

You the psychic?
Depends who's asking.

The guy at the pawnshop
said you're the real deal.

I need to find my brother.

Not sure I believe in all this,
but I got to try something.

Yeah, well, finding
a missing person's tough.

Find him,
I'll pay you five grand.

And it's also my specialty.
Please, step into my office.

How long will you
be gone for?

Not long.
Job's in El Paso. Why?

I was wondering if
you'd like to come over
for dinner tonight.

Oh, girls' night?
And Bobo.

Why would you invite
a third wheel?

This is your chance
to get some of that.
Bobo's single now.

Olivia, he's still grieving.

Please. The bitch
was married... to a racist.

He's not grieving.

He's humiliated,
and you're just the balm
to soothe his broken heart.

He's my best friend.
I wouldn't even
know what to do.

Well, for one,
no peasant skirts.

But I like my skirts.

Yeah.

Men don't.

Want to be
more than besties?

I could knit a sweater
with those.
And no sweaters.

The only time Ted visits our
parents is to beg for money
or steal something,

but now that he's missing,
they're beside themselves.

You ask me, he's probably holed
up with some stripper again.

I need something
of your brother's,

something meaningful to him...

to give me
a psychic impression,

a clue as to where he is.

Sure.

Ted's pinkie ring.

I took it as collateral last
time I loaned him money.
Will that do?

I think so.

Anything?

What is it?
Getting images.

Does your brother work
with heavy equipment?

Ted doesn't even have a job.

You can see me.
Oh, yeah.

Pats.

Oh, Pats, you were right.

I sucked as a brother, a son.
It was all my fault.

Should have never picked
up that hot blonde.

What hot blonde?

See? I told you.

Just at a rest stop.

One minute,
we're driving along.

Next, something's eating me
like a taco.

And she stole my Caddy.

Car won't start?

Don't suppose you could
give me a jump?

I'll make it
worth your while.

Hell, yeah, I'll help.

Maybe we
should party first...

then take care of the car.

Mmm.

You have been very bad.

Well, I can be bad, too.

Hey!

Whoa. Take my wallet.

I've already been
paid for this.
Wha... Wait!

I'm here because
you embezzled 401ks,
pensions, college funds.

Who sent you?

A person who's life
you ruined.

Look, it's just money.

It's just money
because you have some.

To my client,
it was a house,

a marriage,
medical treatments.

You destroyed a family's life

all because you thought
you could cheat.

Now...

the world is a better place
without some people in it.

And you're one
of those people.

Oh, my gosh.

We should call 911.
Oh, my God. Somebody...

Do...
I don't know.

I'm looking
for a hot blonde.

Yeah, who isn't, buddy?

She was maybe driving
a vintage red Cadillac.

Okay, then. Thanks.

Hi. Why are you following me?

I don't know
what you're talking about.

I saw you inside watching me,
and now you're here...

still watching me.

No, I'm not. That's, uh,
some sort of a coincidence.

Yeah, but I don't believe
in coincidences.

Hey.

Just changing my work clothes,
and I'll be over.

Well, no rush.
Just setting the table.

Well, I'll see you soon.

Bye.

Hey, babe. Do you mind getting
my things in the trunk?

Sure.

Thanks.

I see you brought
your work home.

Crap.

You in there, Ted?

♪ This little light of mine

♪ I'm gonna let it shine

♪ This little light of mine

♪ I'm gonna let it shine

♪ Let it shine

♪ Let it shine

♪ Let it shine ♪

Oh, my.

What's a girl
to do around here?

So many handsome men.

So many naughty men.

You're not my type.

But you've been so bad.

I can feel it.

It makes me want to...

Oh, this is tragic.
Shut up.

Shutting me up don't change
the fact that you been stood
up, my friend.

You don't know that.
Sure.

But when you decide
to face reality,

how about putting a little
of that shepherd's
pie in my bowl?

Hey, you running late?

I hate to do this,
but I got to cancel.

Okay, um...

Right.

You know, I, I got to go.
There's someone at the door.

You busy?

Nope, not anymore.

I could use your help.

More teeth.

Yeah, but more...
rows of teeth,

mouth open like
this gaping hellhole.

And a spider web tattoo
on the shoulder.

And she was...

Eating...

people, yeah.

Sounds like a succubus,
which is odd.

I haven't seen one around
here in over a century.

A succubus?
Ancient supernaturals...

hunters, rare.

They usually lie low,

and they have
a perpetual glamour

that lets them appear
beautiful so they can
seduce their prey.

Prey?

As in... men.
Mmm-hmm.

But they only feed
on men who've caused pain.

Wonder why she came after you?
Yeah, why?

So no... no one here
has ever caused anyone pain?

Fair enough.

The real question
is, why now?

Why would a succubus
show up here

acting so recklessly?

Why are you here?

It's dinnertime.
I'm hungry.

Why are you acting so weird?

Is Manfred in there?

I'm being weird because
you should be at home,
and I'm at work.

We...

Look, I know you like Manfred,
and we owe him.

But Dad's right.
You can't trust him, okay?
He's a total sleazebag.

What are you talking about?

I followed him today.

I saw him coming
out of a strip club.

He was looking for someone.

I'm not worried, okay?

So order something to go.

This succubus is leaving
a trail of bodies.

And bodies will bring
the law back here,
and we can't have that.

We need to stop her before
she causes more damage.

So how do we do that?
Dragon's breath...

according
to medieval folklore.

And Wikipedia.
Okay.

Short of finding a dragon,
how do you stop a succubus?

I think I know.

Ross Wheeler.

So, Ross...
Please.

You're not a cop.

Why are you following me?

I really think you got
the wrong guy.

Someone paying you
to follow me?

Frickin' crazy!

Who hired you?

No one!
Want to tell me now?

No one, no one.
I swear.

What?

What's that?
Your father!

Your... your father hir...
your father hired me.

Yeah.

Thought so.

I'm making a tincture.

It's really just
a fancy word for potion.

This will remove
the succubus's glamour.

Yeah.

Without her looks,
she will not be
seducing anyone.

See, it's really just
basic chemistry.

So we can slow her down,
but how do we find her?

She'll be looking for men.

If a woman's trolling
for guys around here,

there's only one place to go
on a Thursday night.

Ow. My back.

Can you just let me sit up?

I'm not sure I'm gonna
let you live,

so you're back
isn't of interest.

So when did you start
working for him?

He hired me a month ago.
Paying you a lot, isn't he?

Yeah.

Do you know why my dad
is having me followed?

I asked before I took the job

'cause I didn't want to get
into a bad situation.

Oh.

Well, that didn't quite
work out, now, did it?

He just wants
to know you're okay.

I know you left,
won't return his calls,

his letters.

He just wants to know
how you are.

How's everything going?

You make a sound,

and I will drown you
in the toilet.

You understand?

You okay?
Not by a long shot.

Do you mind?
No, never.

Oh.

You okay?

I'll be fine.

I'm heading out. Come.

We could use you.
Where to?

It's ladies' night
at Cartoon Saloon.

I'll explain on the way.
Well, he's not going anywhere.

I could use the break.

We just need to get
a drop of tincture
in the succubus's mouth.

Then we have to get her
away from people,

somewhere private before anyone
notices what's happening.

We should split up.
Blend in.

Sure.

Blend in.

Really?

Who is it?

Pony Boy.

I want to talk
to Peter Lowry.

I don't think
I know the man.

You enjoy the remodel?

I know Lowry killed his wife
and the sheriff.

But he's
the police's problem now.

All I want
is to be left alone.

You make me sick, Winthrop.

You're a traitor
to your family, your race.

You got so little pride,

you'd rather pollute yourself
by living with those...

Bobo, we should go.

Any of you set foot
in Midnight again,

I'll kill you.

I'm sorry.

For what...
standing me up

or almost killing a man
right in front of me?

Look, I'm not saying
he didn't deserve it, but...

but you coming down here
by yourself is just plain dumb.

Yeah, it was.

You're right.

It means a lot
that you came after me.

You look real pretty tonight.

I didn't come after you.

I came here with everyone.
We have to...

we have to find
some hot blonde
who's been killing men.

I think that's her.

Be careful.

Hey.

I should kick your ass.

My... my bad.

I thought she was...
Tricia, my ex.

I see her everywhere...

when I wake up,
when I'm driving,
everywhere. I...

I just can't really
believe she's...

she's gone for good, you know?

She just walked out,
and that's it.

Five years.

I feel you, brother,

but you need to move on.

You're good.

Avoiding conflict,
one of my skills.

You need it growing up
in a gypsy caravan.

Wow.

Vampires...

now a succubus.

At least you didn't
expose yourself.

You exposed yourself?

The vampires were about
to kill our friends.

You can't keep
taking risks like this.

If they find us...
Nobody's gonna find us.

Right now we're dealing
with a problem.
You're here with me, okay?

Okay.

What are you drinking?

Gave it up a while back.

Sometimes I indulge...
special occasions.

But once I get a taste,
it's hard to stop.

Slippery slope
and whatnot.

Maybe you should 12-step
it over to a meeting.

Doesn't exactly
work that way.

Nope.

Just a lot of ladies wearing
cocoa butter body spray.

Maybe she's somewhere else.

Like, um...

The Boobie Trap?

How'd you know?

My brother told me.
He followed you.

Okay, that's...
that's creepy.

He was worried
about me.

And you should have
invited me.

God. You really are perfect.

Succubus?

No. My brother.

Connor?

Sorry, don't fall for it.
He's only 17.

Go. Come here.

I can't believe
you followed me.

Well, I was worried.

Connor, I'm an adult,

I get to take risks,
and when you're an adult...

You're so handsome.

Connor, get in the truck.

But I...
Go. I mean it.

Right now.
Get in the truck.

Go home.

I don't live too
far from here.
Nice.

Hey, cowboy,
you want to get out of here?

Mmm-hmm.
Yeah?

Come on.

Go and unwind a bit.

I would like that, yes.

There we go.

Get in there, pretty lady.

Excuse me.

What?

You might want
to think twice.

Y'all are crazy!

We need to get her
out of sight.
Got it.

Is this normal?

Transformations
are always painful.

Good job on the tincture.

What have you done to me?

I took away your glamour
so you couldn't kill
any more men.

We had no choice.

Supernaturals lay low
in these parts.

Indiscriminate hunting
of humans will
not be tolerated.

She dead?

Oh, God.

You all expected that?

No.

That's a surprise.

What do we do now?

Creek! Help!
That's Connor.

Let's go.
Everybody split up.

Connor!

What, do you see him?

No. No, keep looking.

I'll be right back.
Where are you going?

My RV.

Connor!
Connor, we're here!

Connor!

Wait, I'm begging you.
Don't hurt him.

He deserves it.
They all do.

Let him go.

We know what you're
going through.

I struggle with appetites
that I need to keep in check.
Maybe I can help.

Hey! Grab him.
Stay back.

Closest thing
to dragon's breath
I could find.

Uh, quick thinking.

Literally a hot mess.

Speaking of which...

Hey, Ross.

I'm back.

Now...

What am I gonna do with you?

Take care of him.
Oh, God, please don't kill me.

I'm not gonna kill
the messenger...

this time.

She's feeling generous tonight.

Let me tell you
about your employer.

He wasn't there
when I was a kid.

He left me with
the woman he married,

and she liked pills.

But when her habit
got out of control,

he cut her off.

But like I said,
Dad was never around,

so she found other ways
to make her pill money...

Me.

There are a lot
of twisted men
out there, Ross,

who will pay top dollar
for a pretty girl.

Your employer didn't
worry about me then.

He does not get to worry
about me now.

And if he sends anyone else,
they'll die.

And if I see
you again, Ross...

you'll die.

Understand?
Yeah.

You're never gonna
see me again.

I'm sorry.

I'll give you a minute
to get changed.

I fetched top dollar
in my day, too.

Oh, well,
we have so much in common.

And yet, all that pain
gives you plenty to leech.

I'm sorry for what
they did to you.

Don't be.

You saved me.

And the other guys?

Oh, they're all dead.

Here.

What are you thinking?

I'm just thinking about
how that succubus scared
the crap out of me.

Well, it serves
you right for following me.

Let's go home.

Would you do me a favor?

Not that you deserve it.

Don't tell Dad
about tonight.

I was gonna ask you
the same thing.

Her hunger
was unstoppable.

It's happening.

The veil's affecting
supernaturals.

I think so.

What if we can't
fight the pull?

What if I can't?

Look, we've got
plenty of time
to be scared.

Tonight we're okay.
We're safe.

Come here.

Let's just worry
about tonight.

Sounds like a plan.

Sorry about
what happened to him.

Yeah, well...

we never would have found
Ted's body without your help.

Thank you.

Hey.

How's Connor?
He's good.

He's grateful.

Wasn't a big deal.

Shut up.

Hey.

Hey.

Twice now.

You made sure
I got out of jail...

last night with the skinheads.

No matter what,
you're always there for me.

Of course I am, Bobo.

You're my best friend.

Huh.

Is that it?

Is that all
you want this to be?

'Cause sometimes I think
my life's been better

since you've been
in it, and...

and I wonder
if I shouldn't just...
