Midnight, Texas (2017–…): Season 2, Episode 3 - To Witch Hell and Back - full transcript

Previously on "Midnight Texas"...

Never thought I'd need it again.

Do not step foot in Midnight.
I have my eyes on her.

I feel your every emotion
as if it were my own.

Then I don't know what to do.

So you're saying that our sex life

- is causing me to have random accidents?
- Yes.

I can cure her. I can
take the vampire out.

That's impossible.

The hunger is gone.

He can make supernaturals human again.



The Rev didn't want to hurt anyone.

It's okay now.

No, it's not. I know what I did.

I will avenge you.

There are secrets behind the woods.

You okay, darling?

I see you found Kai's ancestor.

I know things in this town
can get seriously weird,

but a severed head in a birdcage?

It's not what you think.

I think it knocked me on
my ass is what I think.

Because it's a very powerful relic.

It's where Kai gets all of
his juju from, that's all.

Oh? That's all?



What were you even doing in here?

Carolyn's parting words to me

were "there are secrets
behind the woods,"

so I thought of the
painting, I snuck in,

and, well, here we are.

Here we are.

I shouldn't have snooped. It's just...

Hard to trust the newcomers.

Something like that.

Look, we just want to be good neighbors.

Establish trust.

We want that too.

All right, now next time
you're curious about something,

just ask me.

Come here.

Ow.

Oh, uh, hold on, my bracelet's caught.

Just move a little to the left.

Oh, um, your left.

Okay, got it.

Sorry about that.

I think it's best we go.

Hey cowboy, Fiji's got her hands full

and it's feeding time.

Ahh, son of a...

Ah. Useless dummy.

Bobo. Oh, my God. Are you okay?

How's the leg feeling?

32 stitches later, I
feel as good as new.

I am fine, Fij, really.

I thought having sex was
putting you in danger,

but apparently we can't
even think about it.

I wasn't thinking about sex.
I was just taking a shower.

Maybe you weren't.

Wait...

While I was in the shower you were...

The view from the bed was...

Very hot.

Mmm. Tell me more.

Stop it, stop it.

You've gotta keep your thoughts clean.

Seriously, Bobo.

The doctor said that
glass just barely missed

your femoral artery. What
if it wasn't an accident?

I mean, you could have died.

Yeah, but I didn't.

I know. But I think the safest thing

is for us to stay apart until
I figure out what's going on.

So Kai can really do that?

Take the super out of supernaturals?

- Yep, pretty much.
- How?

Well, it seems he has the power

to remove negative energy,

whether it causes blindness
or cancer or vampirism.

So basically he's making
monsters human again.

- Well, sounds shady to me.
- Why?

Kai's an energy healer.
What's the problem?

The problem is, he's way
more powerful than we thought.

Give me all the caffeine you got.

And we heard about your
rough night with the vamps.

Yeah. Well, it's the one I'm married to

giving me a headache.

- They tell you about Kai?
- Mm-hmm.

And if he wants to take the
monster out of Midnighters,

I say we run his ass out of town.

Well, he saved our asses twice now.

First with Manfred and then
last night with Dawnette.

Well, you know what
my mother used to say?

"You are who you are."

Changing that is like
messing with your DNA.

It's unnatural.

I feel the love, Madonna,
but you don't know

what it's like to be a freak.

To be a total outsider.

Really, honey? I'm a
black woman in Texas.

All I'm saying is I wouldn't mind

having the demon ripped out of me.

Especially on a night like tonight.

- Hunter's Moon.
- Yep.

Angels and demons can't be cured.

Ah, I wouldn't want
you to change anyway.

I love you just the way you are.

I know we're all divided on this

but given the opportunity,
do we throw it off,

or do we have faith that we
can carry the burden given us?

Come on, sisters.

I need you to try a little harder.

Why don't we hold hands?

Good. I can feel the energy.

I need you to awaken your inner witch.

Fiji.

Not now.

What is going on?

What is this?

I daisy-chained my Wicca class

to draw on their combined strength.

Bobo has been having
these deadly near-misses

every time we even think about sex.

I need their strength to contact

the spirit world and
figure out what's going on.

Look, I'm... I'm sorry.

I-I don't want anything
bad to happen to Bobo

but you're playing with fire here.

Yeah, well, I'm desperate.

Well, while you wait to link
up to the spiritual hotspot,

can you help me?

Yeah, sure.

I found a severed head in the hotel.

In a cage.

Wait, what?

It's a relic of Kai's...
One of his ancestors...

He draws his power from it,

or at least that's what Patience said.

But I have my doubts.

He's up to something and it's not good.

Maybe if Kai's up to anything,

it's healing people.

What if Patience told you the truth?

Well, that's what I
want you to find out.

I need you to perform
an intention spell.

See if Patience is trustworthy.

Let the light from this flame
reveal your true intentions.

Burn the hair.

White smoke. Patience is trustworthy.

Good.

But I still don't trust Kai.

What's wrong?

They stopped chanting.

Maybe they figured
out who's hurting Bobo.

I think they did.

Wait, wait, wait!

It's my fault?

I think this has gone too
far. I need to stop it.

Not yet. They tapped into something.

I think your daisy chain worked.

I'm gonna take a peek.

It's dark in here.

But wait. I see something.

A moment.

- Let go. Everybody let go.
- Wait, I'm almost there.

I can make out a figure.

She's trying to tell me something.

Manfred!

That's... that's good, sisters.

Way to embrace your inner witch.

You mentioned seeing someone... a woman.

Who was it?

Your Aunt Mildred.

You're doing your
furrowed brow thing again.

What's wrong?

I was just worried
about the Hunter's Moon.

You know, the hotel's brought
all types to the area...

Who knows how it's gonna affect them.

Well, why don't you go
keep an eye on things?

I don't want to leave you here alone.

I know how hard it's gonna be on you.

Please, go. You've
been real tense lately.

It'll do you good to get out.

Spread your wings.

You sure?

Yes.

I'm just going to roll up on the couch,

binge the new season of "Queer Eye."

It'll chill me out.

Help keep my little devil locked away.

_

What did she say to you?

Just one word. But it
wasn't even English.

"Hexennacht"?

It's German.

For Witch Hell.

Well, that explains
why it reeked of sulfur.

How did she end up in
such a horrible place?

I don't know, but she was
desperate to talk to you.

I could see it in her eyes.

She must know what's going on with Bobo.

You have to summon Aunt Mildred.

It won't work.

I can only summon a ghost

when they're stuck in this realm.

Mildred's moved on

and apparently not to the good place.

There must be some
way I can talk to her.

That would mean pulling her spirit

from Witch Hell into our world.

Let's do it.

I've never tried it before.
It's really, really dangerous.

Manfred, I know this is a huge ask

and I would never want you to get hurt,

but Bobo is the love of my life.

I cannot lose him.

Then I won't let you.

So you'll do it?

Yeah.

But we need to find someplace
else to perform the ritual.

Both our homes are
inhospitable to the dead.

- Right.
- I gotta do some research.

You don't know how
much this means to me.

I do.

The evil in Midnight
doomed Creek and me.

And I'm not gonna let that
happen to you and Bobo.

I know a Hunter's Moon makes
you go extra tiger hulky

so I figured we could
use the stronger chains.

Smart. I'll take care of it.

I'll be back tonight to tuck you in.

Maybe you should send Lem.

Oh, I can handle you, pussycat.

I know you can, but I
just think maybe tonight

I might need his skills
to keep me in check.

I'll give him the message.

Hey.

Olivia, I want to thank you

for always being there for me.

Yeah. You're one of us.

No doubt today, November 4th, 2008

is one for the history books.

The election of the first black president

is reason to celebrate.

Oh, God.

Please, please,

please, please, please forgive me.

God save you, my son.

I'm so sorry.

I didn't think you'd show.

Well, all your textin' wore me down.

Whoa, hey. You got the wrong idea.

This isn't why I came.

Easy, it was just a diversion.

I was afraid they'd see
us and get suspicious.

They're demons from the same
nest as the one we took down

the night we first met.

That was some rodeo, huh?

Why'd they come back?

Well, word around town is
they're here for payback.

I thought we'd surprise
them... strike first.

Hunter's Moon, though. Be
more loco than normal.

Well, that's why I brought this.

Now let's go kill some demons.

Let's.

- Hey.
- You okay?

No close encounters of
the deadly kind, yet.

Good.

Looks like us being apart
from each other is working.

Um, Manfred's gonna help
me contact Aunt Mildred.

I'm hoping she knows
how to fix our problem.

I miss you. Is that allowed?

Should be.

Just as long as you don't
think about having sex.

Well, even if we never had sex again,

I'd still love you till the day I die.

That's poor choice of words, but, um...

I love you too.

Let me know what Aunt Mildred says.

- _
- Keep me posted.

All right? Bye-bye.

_

- Girl.
- I needed a night out.

I know, I got two more lined up.

Oof!

- Cheers.
- Cheers.

Ladies, ladies.

Remember to stay hydrated.

Mezcal, well,

it can sneak up on you.

Uh, excuse me, Dad, but
we can handle our liquor.

I'm sure you can.

And you know what?

Bring us some more salt and limes.

Okay.

Oh...

I was kind of a bitch to him.

But you know what? Whatever.

I'm tired of men thinking
they know what's best for me.

Okay, well, it's girl's night,

so if you wanna talk, I'm your girl.

All right, look.

It is hard enough being
married to a vampire,

let alone one that can read your mind.

- Huh?
- Oh, yeah, that's a thing now.

Ever since I drank his blood.

Hey, you ever wish Lem wasn't a vampire?

I don't know. I love
Lem just the way he is.

But maybe a vampire and a
human just aren't meant to be.

Maybe different is
what makes you two work.

I look at you and Lem
and I see true love.

Now it is different,
okay, but it's real.

You know?

True love is all that really matters.

- Can't argue with that.
- Hm.

Whatcha gawking at?

Wondering why a human
became a demon hunter.

Let's just say demons took a lot from me

and I've dedicated my
life to settling the score.

Well, you're lucky you're still alive.

I used to think demons
were make-believe, you know.

Then I came face to face with one.

I knew right then
they had to be stopped.

Well, if I'm the first
angel you're talking to,

you don't know much about demons.

Know enough to stay alive.

You know, I heard rumors about
this angel who fought demons

living right in my backyard

I keep a low profile.

Hung up my wings and

stopped fighting demons
when I fell in love.

Yeah, how long you been hitched?

A long time.

What's he like?

He's a peacemaker.

Wouldn't exactly approve of this hunt.

Well, then, I guess it's a good thing

I know how to keep a secret.

Oh, evening, Manfred.

Oh, hey.

Everything okay?

Yeah, I just thought I'd
ask you out for a drink.

My way of saying thank you for
cleansing the hotel last night.

Drinks with you and Kai?

No, Kai is on a retreat
down south in Tulum.

So it'd just be us.

Well, I... I'd love to.

All right.

But I kind of have some other plans.

A friend needs my help.

Well, that's what I admire
about you most, Manfred.

You're always there
to lend a helping hand.

Rain check then?

- Yeah.
- All right.

Is this where you run
your business out of?

Not as classy as Crystal Desert,

but it's all I got for now.

Well, I'm just glad you're close by.

It makes me feel safer.

Hey, mind if I give you
a couple business cards

to put at the front desk?

Might drum up some new customers for me.

Here's an idea; how would you feel

about renting a space from the hotel?

I mean, I would ask Kai first
but I'm sure he wouldn't mind.

Great idea.

All right.

Give me a chance to

get to know him better too.

All right. See ya.

You think they saw us tailing them?

No way in hell.

What are you doing?

It's gonna get messy in there.

All right.

Surprise.

- Be careful.
- Never.

- Not bad, cowboy.
- Back at you.

I can't go home like this.

Been a long time since I've done this.

- It's your calling.
- Yeah, felt right.

- Looks like you missed it.
- Looks like you missed a spot.

Give me that.

Hey, hey, all right, all right, stop.

I gotta go.

Sure, angel.

See you soon.

Should you really be
tending to a plot right now?

The moon is rising.

What's going on, Emilio?

I'm not the man you think I am.

I'm so sorry.

Forgive me, Father, for I have sinned.

Didn't think they'd send
another holy man to Midnight.

Last one said this
town was damned to hell.

He left years ago and if I were you,

I'd do the same thing.

Why don't you come in, friend?

- Let's talk.
- I'll stay where I am.

I was driving cross country
and I saw the steeple

from the side of the road.

I figured a man of the
cloth could find refuge

in the house of God, even
if just for one night.

Blood.

I hit a coyote.

It's human blood. Not yours.

That's why you couldn't
enter the holy sanctuary.

You're a vampire.

And it was a full moon last night.

What does that make you? A werewolf?

Something like that.

Then you'll fit in here just fine.

Welcome to Midnight, Reverend Sheehan.

Call me Rev.

Father Sheehan was a much better man

than I could ever be.

He was a man of real faith.

It filled him with
goodness and compassion.

With his last breath,
he asked God to save me.

And he did.

He let me become Sheehan.

To repent for the
horrors that I committed.

The lives that I've ruined.

I'm so sorry.

That's why I became the Rev.

I read the Bible.

I taught others in
accordance to scripture,

but I lied to you

and to the people that
accepted me as family.

Emilio, you have been
the soul of this town.

You've given us counsel
and you've taught us all

to have trust in each other.

That is not a lie.

I wish I could believe that.

You can. You blessed our weapons

that allowed us to beat the demons

that were attacking Midnight.

You blessed me.

You made it possible for a vampire

to enter this holy place
and marry the woman he loves.

I know you weren't
ordained as a reverend,

but since you came to Midnight
you've done God's work.

You are a man of faith.

So this is our threshold
to the world of the dead.

So if I got my research right,

the only way to bring
Mildred's spirit into our world

is to open a doorway to Hexennacht

with this ancient incantation.

You get that from your
ancestor's journals?

Google.

All right.

But in order for Mildred to cross over,

I'll need to take her
place in Witch Hell.

There's no other way.

How am I even gonna talk to my Aunt

if you're not here to translate?

Well, here's the thing,

to keep the balance between
the living and the dead,

I literally have to
trade places with her.

Which means she'll be as
real as I am when she's here.

All right.

This... this means so
much to me, Manfred.

I don't know how to thank you.

Thank me by keeping the reunion short.

Because if a witch in Hexennacht

so much as touches me,

I'll be damned for eternity.

Oh, my goddess, you
would never come back.

Hey, then how do you keep

these witches from touching you?

They hate light.

- Yes, you are.
- I'm sorry.

Okay.

I would like to make a toast

to the nicest guy ever.

To Bobo!

No, wait, wait, wait,
wait. We need more limes.

We need more limes.

- Ow!
- Oh!

Oh, my God. I am so sorry.

- You okay?
- Yeah.

Uhh, how deep is the cut?

It looks like it could get infected.

Here, keep some pressure
on this for me, Bobo.

I have a first aid kit in my car. Okay.

- It's fine.
- I'm so sorry, honey.

You hold on.

Pbbt. It's just a scratch.

_

Now call for her.

Aunt Mildred, if you're out there,

I need your help.

Here goes nothing.

You're a good friend,
Manfred. Thank you.

Whatever you do, don't
let them touch you.

Got it covered.

Oh!

I've missed you so much!

Me too, baby.

What are you doing in Witch Hell?

We don't have much time, honey.

Bad things keep happening to Bobo

because our family is cursed.

Cursed? By who?

Dark witches.

What the...

Seriously?

Come on.

No.

Damn.

Hurry! Fiji, hurry!

So this has been
happening for generations?

What did we do to piss
off these dark witches?

No idea. It happened 800 years ago.

No...

I promised myself that I
would finally break the curse.

There's a way to break the curse?

I thought there was.

I turned to black magic.

The kind of dark magic
that I warned you about.

It took me down a very dark path.

Fiji, it killed me.

The curse is going to
eventually destroy Bobo.

Holy crap. No.

Stay...

Stay...

Stay...

Fiji, wrap it up!

- We're running out of time.
- I know.

There just has to be something
that we can do to save Bobo.

The only way that I was able
to protect the man I love...

I turned him into a cat.

You mean Mr. Snuggly?

Yes, and it broke my heart.

But if I hadn't,
Jedediah would have died.

No, you could have stayed together.

All you had to do was stop having sex.

This curse has nothing to do with sex.

Stay...

Fiji!

Please tell me Mildred
had an answer for you.

Yeah. Just not the one I wanted.

I thought the bad things
that were happening

to Bobo were because of sex.

But that's not it.

It's about love.

As long as Bobo loves me,

he's gonna die.

The moon is almost at its highest.

Time to get you to the cellar.

I've made other arrangements.

You're not turning.

I went to see Kai in the morning

before he left on his retreat.

He cured me.

Why didn't you tell me earlier?

I was afraid I'd betrayed you.

Betrayed everyone here in Midnight.

Of course you didn't.

I just wanted you to understand

what I've lived with my whole life.

The guilt.

We all carry our sins with us.

But Xylda changed you so you
could live with your curse.

I didn't have that option.

Yeah. I understand
that better than anyone.

Are you ever tempted?

To go to Kai?

I don't judge you for what you did,

but I've made peace with who I am.

Then I hope you'll understand

that it's time for me to leave Midnight.

Why? You've changed,
but you're still family.

This... this is your home.

I have to go.

I've been trapped by
this curse my entire life

and now that I'm free,
I can roam the world

without fear of hurting anyone.

- I love you, brother.
- Love you too.

Thank you.

At least wait long enough to
say good-bye to the others.

Never been one for good-byes.

So you please give them all my love

and tell them I'll see
them all again someday.

Keep the faith.

By the way,

what's your real name?

Just call me Rev.

What the hell?

I needed a change.

Burning the midnight oil?

Saw the light was on.

Thought I'd check in,
see if you're okay.

Well, I am just finding things

to put in your new office.

So it's official?

Kai agreed with me that we could use

our very own ghost whisperer.

Hope I can live up to all the hype.

I just knew the moment I met you

that you were special.

No, really, we are
lucky to have you here.

Hey, um, I was wondering...

Um, can Kai remove a witch's curse?

Um, why? You in some kind of trouble?

No, it's for a friend.

Course.

Well, I'm sorry, Kai's powers

don't really work like that.

Well, that's too bad.

Oh.

Speak of the devil. Excuse me.

Hi, darling.

Two more days? Kai, you said...

You always do this.

Now I suppose they're
staying with you too?

I gotta go.

Everything okay?

Nothing to get my
feathers ruffled about.

Kai...

Just won't be back tomorrow.

He's staying in Tulum
for a few more days.

You know what?

That trip was supposed
to be a romantic getaway

for the two of us, but instead
he took Lyric and Sequoia.

- Hey, you know what?
- Hmm?

I think you and I
should get those drinks.

It's a date.

Come in.

I came by to check up on you.

I sensed something earlier.

Pbbt.

I'm fine.

Just a couple of drunks
playing with knives.

I tried to give you your space.

I don't want to be so overprotective.

Thank you.

It's okay.

True love is all that matters.

The rest...

We'll figure out.

Come on.

Come to bed.

At least until the sun comes up.

I'd love to...

But I called everyone to church.

It's Rev.

I can't believe Rev is gone.

Yeah, I miss him already.

So what did Aunt Mildred say?

Can she help with our, um, problem?

And what does it have
to do with having sex?

It doesn't have anything
to do with having sex.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, that's a good thing.

Right?

The reason all this is happening

is 'cause you and I aren't meant to be.

You're not the one.

W-what are you saying, Fiji?

It's over.
