Midnight, Texas (2017–…): Season 2, Episode 8 - Patience Is a Virtue - full transcript

Previously, on "Midnight, Texas"...

I failed you, but I'll make it right.

I have something for you.

It's supposed to protect you.

I saw you with Manfred.

What could you possibly
have to say to him?

You stay the hell away from my wife!

- I'll kill you!
- This isn't over.

Olivia, I feel your every emotion

- as if it were my own.
- There has to be a way

- to sever this connection.
- Well, there is.



- If I turn you into a vampire.
- You really want

- to have that fight again?
- Can't do it!

'Cause I love you.

No, no, no.

- "Hexennacht"?
- It's German

- for "witch hell."
- Whatever you do,

- don't let them touch you.
- I'm not so sure

about this, Feej. Dark
magic always has a price.

Guys, Fiji's a dark witch.
She pulled a butterfly out

of her chest and swore
herself to the dark side

- to save my hide.
- Come again?

Fiji discovered that
you're either a child

of Delilah, a good witch, or a child

of Theophilus, a bad one.



Did you just say "Theophilus"?

You should know, he has a twin.

Should the curse be
broken, they will regain

- their full power.
- And then what?

- Darkness falls.
- Theophilus...

It's Patience's twin.
She and her brother,

they were cursed by a
dark witch... Delilah.

You don't get it. Your wife lied to you.

Theophilus is the father of black magic!

Together they'll be
the most powerful being

to ever walk this Earth,
and it'll be your fault.

It belonged to Theophilus.

It's like a... a binder
to fuse Theo's head

to a host body.

- That witch!
- Let go, let go.

The more you pull on it,
the more it'll constrict.

Just let go.

Then how the hell do I get it off?

I don't know.

So from day one everything Patience did

was just a long con.

How do you think I feel?

I loved her. I married her.

Last 12 years of my
life have been a lie.

At least you get to keep your head.

Not for long. Once
she has what she wants

she'll kill us all.

Like she killed Creek.

She didn't want me to
go to Austin with her.

Because she needed your body.

I won't let her get away with it.

I'll kill her.

You can't. She's immortal.

Well, then at least I'll stop her

from bringing her brother back.

You said she needs me,
the vials, and the head.

Damn it. Head's gone.

- The vials are gone, too.
- We gotta warn everyone.

Olivia!

Lem! Bobo!

I... I'll keep searching the hotel.

I'll look in the pawn shop.

Manfred?

Are you okay, darling?

- You look a little spooked.
- Yeah.

I, uh...

I... I got in a fight with Kai.

He knocked me out.

When I came to he was gone.

He took the head and vials.

Unless... unless you took them.

Just please... Please just tell me

you hid them.

We can take them and...
And get as far away

from Kai as possible.

Oh, God, I...

I was so worried about you.

After Kai killed Creek I...

I just need to know you're okay.

I love you.

You know, don't you?

Know what?

Drop it, Manfred.

It's over.

So the whole... the whole
"Southern charm" thing,

- that was... that was an act too?
- It seems we're both

quite the thespians.

And bravo.

You almost had me...
Until the "L-word."

You don't love me any
more than I love you.

- You want to chop my head off!
- It's nothing personal.

Do you know how long
I've been trying to break

this God-forsaken curse?

That wretch Delilah
made it nearly impossible

when she took away my powers.

I mean, how am I supposed
to amass an army of beasts?

But then it hit me:
I didn't need an army.

Just Kai.

A true healer who could stockpile

all their strength.

You came to Midnight

and conned all the
supernaturals drawn here.

It was like shooting fish in a barrel.

And I was your biggest catch.

Oh, you, my love,

are icing on the cake.

When Kai healed your demon cancer

and I saw the sheer amount of garbage

that came out of you...

I knew that your body could take in

all 490 vials and live.

You're the perfect vessel.

And tomorrow night, Theophilus' head

will go on your body.

I had Fiji perform an intention spell.

- It said you were trustworthy.
- I created that spell.

It can't work on me, lovie.

Manfred!

Behind you!

What... what have you
done to them, Fiji?

Ah!

Are you two besties now?

I guess a threesome's
out of the question.

That's it!

- Damn it, Patience, you've...
- Ahah-ah-ah.

Fiji, don't.

You've been conned just
like the rest of us.

We're your friends, not Patience.

Well, what Patience is offering me

is worth far more than friendship.

Back off, witch.

I just buried my husband.

I'm warning you.

Where... where the hell did they go?

They teleported.

It's dangerous, but witches will do it

when they're desperate.

Yeah.

They'll be back.

He died in my arms.

- You had no choice, Joe.
- No.

No.

I had a choice.

If I hadn't been unfaithful
to Chuy none of this

would have happened.

Oh, Joe.

I'm so sorry.

We know how much you loved him.

We all did.

We've all got a lot to be sorry for.

Fiji went dark trying to save me.

I mean, if I hadn't brought
Patience to Midnight...

Guys, feeling sorry

for ourselves is not
gonna bring Creek back.

Or Chuy.

But maybe there's still hope for Fiji.

Look, what if we can get

- her butterfly back?
- We do that, then we have

- a powerful witch on our side.
- It's worth a shot.

All right. In the mean time,

we need to prepare for their return.

Well, sun's coming up, big guy.

You've gotta sit this rodeo out.

I'll be in the pawn shop, in the dark.

But we need to look
for more iron weapons.

- Witch Kryptonite.
- And you need

to get the hell out of Midnight.

I'm not going anywhere.

If Patience gets her hands on
you, it's over for everyone.

- You need to leave.
- And go where?

They're resourceful and desperate.

They'll find me eventually.

It's safer here with them.

We'll make our last stand here.

Together.

At midnight.

When my brother returns
and I get my powers back,

all my descendants will be rewarded.

Especially you, my sweet.

But I need Manfred first.

He's the key to resurrecting Theophilus

and your town of freaks is in my way.

I know, they're so annoying.

And when they're together
there's no stopping them.

They will protect Manfred at all costs.

What if he tries to run?

He'll never abandon his friends.

No, the only way to get to Manfred

is to take down the
Midnighters one by one.

Well, then we need to
start by getting rid

of our biggest threat:
That bloody angel.

We need a demon, Fiji.

Already on it.

I call upon the power of the East.

Illuminate me to find what I seek.

Follow me.

Well, the dagger you
gave me is made of iron.

Yeah. Let's see what else we can find.

Joe!

Your back!

Yeah, I, uh...

- cut off my wings.
- What?

- Your powers... are you now...?
- No, I'm still an angel, Lem.

- Can't change who I am.
- Why?

'Cause I don't deserve them.

I cut 'em off for the
sins I've committed.

Penance for what I did to Chuy.

Joe...

We're all sinners, and we've all fallen.

But we get back up.

How long have you had a camera in here?

Since the third time you broke in.

I'm sorry.

For everything.

I was wrong about you.

I'm sure my wife helped
paint me as a villain.

Still, it was wrong.

And so was my
relationship with Patience.

I just... I thought your relationship

was on the rocks.

Patience hinted that you
were having an affair.

I have the opportunity... A lot...

But I was faithful to my wife.

Patience, she was my everything.

Speak of the she-devil...

Hey, what was that?

Play that again.

Look, there. At the woman.

She moved.

Zoom in on that.

I've seen that bracelet before.

She... she beheaded Theophilus.

Well, then maybe she can help.

Can... can you make contact?

Well, if she's haunting this painting...

Yeah, I don't think it's haunted.

- I'm not sensing any spirit.
- Uh, Manfred.

Oh.

Wait, wait, wait.

- You think that's a good idea?
- Let me.

Manfred.

Manfred.

What the...?

What the hell was that?

A horrid thing

put here to torture me for all eternity.

Who are you?

My name's Manfred Bernardo.

I need your help.

You reached out to me
from the other side.

No one's ever done that before.

Are you a wizard?

A medium.

I-I thought you were a ghost.

I can...

I can make contact
with the spirit world.

Other realms.

That's how I was able to bring you here.

Then you're the wizard.

A witch.

One of the originals.

Name's Delilah.

If we want to get Fiji's
butterfly back, we'll need help

from the Delilahs.

But we have to be careful, all right?

Ask the wrong thing, they'll block us.

Well, then we don't ask.

Okay.

I'm in.

I'll take that.

- Who the hell are you?
- Addie Wigget.

I run IT for Witches Helping Witches

and hacking into our
system is a big no-no.

Hand over the laptop, please.

It is now the property of the Delilahs.

- That's cute.
- Whoa.

We only hacked your site

because we need your help.

The love of my life,
she's in a heap of trouble.

She's a witch... Her name
is Fiji... and she made

a terrible sacrifice trying to save me.

She sent her butterfly packing.

- She removed her butterfly?
- And we need to get it back

so she can help us stop Theophilus.

Oh... did you just say "Theophilus"?

His twin is trying to bring him back.

But Delilah put an iron-clad curse

on the father of darkness 800 years ago.

What you're saying is impossible.

The cage? The head?

His twin? All here in Midnight.

And if you don't help us
before they break the curse...

Then guess what? We're all dead.

Oh, jeez.

Hey, you all right? You okay?

Been trapped in this hell for centuries.

Well, I'm here to break you out.

My friends and I need your
help stopping Patience.

Theophilus' necklace.

Oh, my God.

Hypatia's close to breaking the curse.

- "Hypatia."
- That was her name

when I knew her.

We must hide.

Follow me.

We're safe.

For now.

If you're hungry, I have possum.

Yeah, well, uh,

I'm, uh... I'm possum-intolerant.

So, um, how'd you get trapped

- in the painting?
- It was Hypatia

and Theophilus' doing.

Why?

'Cause you're a... You're a light witch

and they're dark?

It wasn't always a light and a dark.

We weren't always enemies.

- Oh, my God, she's doing it.
- Yeah!

Almost.

Oh, my goodness.

A brilliant use of your talents.

Oh, well, who else would
I share my gifts with

but the two of you?

Ah.

Now, there's something
we'd like to share

with you, sister.

A gift from Theophilus.

A sign of his intentions.

We're to wed.

I'm so happy for you both.

I was betrayed by my best friend.

Just like your friends betrayed you.

They're jealous of my new power.

Ah, and Delilah was jealous of the bond

Theophilus and I had.

So she came between us
and left me all alone.

Hypatia...

No one is taking me away.

You'll always be my sister

who I love with all my heart.

You love me with more than your heart.

I've seen the way you look at me.

With hunger in your eyes.

Stop it. It is forbidden.
We cannot act on it.

You felt that, didn't you?

Didn't you feel that?

I know you did, my love.

Never speak of it again.

That is messed up.

And I was with child.

It should have been the
happiest time of my life...

But I sensed Theophilus pulling away...

Because...

because Hypatia crossed a line.

A true vision...

of beauty.

Hypatia, stop.

- No, no.
- Is that really what you want?

Dark magic was born that day.

The magic you now embrace.

Like Osiris and Isis,
like Zeus and Hera,

we came together as one.

Siblings and lovers.

We gave ourselves over to our desire.

And released a force that
was not of this Earth.

It was something powerful

and beautiful.

It was an abomination.

They took love...

something pure and
beautiful... And corrupted it.

Just as they did with magic.

And vengeance filled my soul.

Patience took away
someone I loved too...

And vengeance is all I can think about.

I was heartbroken

that I'd lost Theophilus' love...

but what came next was so much worse.

Hypatia, too, was with child,

and the deeper their perverse love grew,

the more powerful they became.

They surrendered to the dark magic.

With their evil sorcery,
they let loose a plague

to kill those that opposed them.

So I did the only thing I could.

Delilah.

I bind you both

from all magic

and curse your descendants
from ever experiencing love,

as you have perverted it.

No!

No!

No!

I found a way to make
her suffer, though.

I couldn't practice magic
but our son, Everard, could.

He cursed her, and trapped her

in a painting for all time.

My vengeance came

at such a cost,

and it was all for naught.

Hypatia and Theophilus
may soon be unleashed

upon the world.

Run!

You okay?

Thank you.

He's not gonna bother you anymore.

For now.

I've bested the Unholy
Giant a thousand times.

He always comes back to fight again.

- I'll get you out of here.
- To do that, you need

to break the spell,

which is very difficult.

You need to find the witch
who originally trapped me

in this hell.

Patience's son.

Everard.

You... you get me back
home, I'll find him.

When I said we needed
a demon, I just assumed

he'd be alive.

How's Joe dead husband going to help us?

Play on Joe's guilt.

Now that this thing's dead,

he's an even better weapon.

You okay?

I think so.

Can you help us?

I don't know.

Your girlfriend used
some really dark juju.

When she removed her butterfly,

she removed her soul.

Her soul.

How can we get it back?

By finding Fiji's butterfly.

But first we have to remove
it from where it's been hiding.

It would have magically taken refuge...

in the person that Fiji loved the most.

That's me.

That's what I was afraid of.

We're done here.

I think we've gathered every
witch-killing weapon we have

in the shop.

This was actually used
in the Inquisition.

Won't kill an immortal witch
like Patience, but it'll sure

stop her in her tracks.

The sun's still up.

I'd better wrap up before heading out.

Joe...

Chuy?

You're alive?

How?

Why did you do this to me?

I'm so sorry.

Mm-mm.

It's over, Joe.

Joe?

Why are the curtains down?

Joe?

Joe.

Sweet dreams.

How can you be so sure
Everard is in witch hell?

He's the spawn of black magic.

- Where else would he be?
- Look, I've never taken powers

- from a spirit before.
- When he crosses over

he'll be as real as you and me.

That's why I'm trading places
with him on the other side.

- Remember what to do?
- Yeah.

All right.

Do it quick.

Hexennacht sucks.

Everard.

Your mother is calling.

Everard, your mother's

in trouble.

She needs your help. Now.

Mother?

Mother!

Mother?

No.

Damn it.

Come on, come on.

Really?

Come on.

You get it?

You bastard.

You have to follow my
instructions perfectly.

If we want him to survive
we can't make any mistakes.

We clear?

Crystal.

We're gonna need that.

Um, what are you gonna do
with that creepy crawly?

Fiji's butterfly is
safe and warm inside you.

It's not gonna want to leave.

We're gonna have to send something in

- to fish it out.
- Huh.

- That would explain this.
- Okay, put the hook in.

Once the centipede finds the butterfly,

reel it out quickly.

Okay.

You sure about this, Bobo?

Fiji's pretty far gone.

I'm not giving up on her no matter what.

- You understand?
- Okay.

Place it on Bobo's chest.

Come on, Bobo.

Come on.

You got this.

Now?

Wait.

Hold on, Bobo.

- It's killing him.
- Wait, wait, wait.

Come on, Bobo.

All right, that's it.

- I'm pulling it out.
- Not yet!

Now!

Oh, God. Okay.

Is he okay?

Just give me a second.

If you die on me, big
jerk, I'm gonna kill you.

We thought you were a goner.

Look.

Look. Okay.

Nice try.

Where the hell's the painting?

Ave Hypatia Regina. Ave Hypatia Regina.

Ave Hypatia Regina.

Ave Hypatia Regina.

Ave Hypatia Regina.

Ave Hypatia Regina.

Ave Hypatia Regina.

Holy mother of...

Oh, God.

What is she planning to do?

No, I... I can't just stay here.

No, wait, hold on. Look, I... I know

you feel responsible,
I... I do, and we both want

to stop Patience, but there's a swarm

of dark witches down there
with some serious firepower.

- We got firepower too.
- I know, but if they catch you

Patience has everything
she needs to bring

- Theophilus back.
- I'll get to the painting

and free Delilah. She'll stop Patience.

You're not listening; if
she catches you it's over.

- She won't catch me.
- Yeah, but if she does...

Then you get the hell
out of dodge, you find

the Delilahs, and you fight back.

- Manfred...
- Creek died because of me.

This is my town.

It's my family...

and I won't let anyone else die.

You couldn't destroy our love, Delilah.

And you couldn't keep us apart.

Now you're going to watch Theophilus

come back to me.

Fiji.

You're killing Lem.

Please take the silver
chains off of him!

Fiji, please!

There's still good in you, I see it!

Don't do this.

So many witches were killed
during the Inquisition

in the name of God.

Seems fitting we return the favor.

Now...

bring me the psychic.

Looking for me?

Manfred's a witch!

Uh, stop him!

- Out of my way, you witch.
- No!

Children, the time has finally come.

After centuries, my true love Theophilus

and I will be reunited.

Rise, dark father.

Bestow your power upon us all.

Rise, dark father.

Bestow your power upon us all.

Patience, stop.

Have something to say, my little lamb?

Hmm?

You have what you need.

Let the others go.

I promise, I'll give myself
to you without a fight.

Oh, aren't you sweet.

Always there for those in need.

Idiot.

I have other plans for your friends.

Please don't hurt them.

- Please.
- I won't.

As long as they pledge their loyalty.

- Go to hell.
- Hell's gonna look real good

compared to what we
got in store for you.

Fiji...

Ave Hypatia Regina.

Ave Theophilus Rex.

With this sword...

I beckon my prince.

My true love...

Theophilus.

Manfred?

Manfred, look at me. Look at me.

Look. We are right here, okay?

We're right here. We're family.

We're family.

You're not alone.

Ave Rex et Regina.

Ave Hypatia Regina.

Ave Theophilus Rex.

Ave Hypatia Regina.
