Sleepy Hollow (2013–2017): Season 2, Episode 4 - Go Where I Send Thee... - full transcript

Previously on sleepy hollow...

I killed jason boland
and devon jones.

You did a brave thing, captain,
confessing to those crimes

To save your daughter.

How about you guys
take me along?

I know his type, lieutenant.
He's a privateer.

Where's the coin you stole?

Have you sold it already?

They've appointed a replacement

For captain irving.

Slinking through the tunnels



To avoid madame sheriff

Is an absolute waste
of our time.

No police work, crane.

Sheriff's orders.

I'm henry parish.

I'm captain
irving's attorney.

It's quite standard.

A confirmation that

You're enlisting my services.

Captain, you must not trust him.

Because he is
the horseman of war.

I have faced many enemies
on horseback.

Horsemen without heads.

Even discovered my own son



Is the apocalyptic
horseman of war.

Thus, how challenging must it be

To guide the power of 300 horses

Using only one's right foot?

Crane, you've seen me
do this a thousand times.

You have an eidetic memory.
Do not tell me

That you do not have this.

Also, I happen
to know that you've been

Practicing your driving with
jenny, who's had her license

Suspended twice, by the way.

Firstly, I fail to see why each
and every human on the planet

Must utilize a motor vehicle.

And secondly, if you're
implying I would use

This conveyance without
your express permission...

That gauge right there
doesn't lie.

The odometer.

Curse you, franklin,

For inventing
such a treacherous device.

Crane, if we're
gonna win this war,

You need to master
certain skills from this era.

Ergo, you need
to drive a damn car.

Now, quit stalling.

So be it.

Remember,
all that power

Is now a part of you.

Make it your steed.

Oh.

You're referring
to jinba ittai.

Why didn't you say so?

Let us release our own horsemen.

All right. Ooh...

Slow down. Crane?

I need you to slow down.
We're in a parking lot!

Crane!

Oh, my god! Oh, my god!

Slow down! Slow down!
Slow down, crane!

Crane! Crane! Crane! Crane!

Jinba...?
Ittai.

It's a japanese term. It means
"horse and rider as one."

You've been messing with me
this whole time?

Perhaps if you install
a turbo charger,

This vehicle would have
better acceleration.

Get out of my car.

I'd say you're well on
your way to independence.

In case something
happened to you.

Crane...?

You can drop
the facade, lieutenant.

I'm all too aware of why
you insist I learn these skills.

But hear me,
grace abigail mills.

It is not our fate
for one of us to bury the other.

We shall be victorious
or defeated...

Together.

And until then, we spend
every waking moment

Looking for a way to defeat
moloch and the horsemen.

We're building our army.

Our network of spies.

Katrina, miss jenny,

Even captain irving's
predicament

Could be used
to our advantage.

And now I can drive.

That wasn't driving.

That was unsafe operation of
a vehicle without a license.

I should arrest
your ass for it.

Perhaps
if you could catch me.

I have received an amber alert.
Everyone in the area gets it.

It's when a child's
gone missing.

I know that family.
A missing child.

We must make haste.

Not so fast, ricky bobby.

I'm driving.

It's been hours.

Why haven't we heard anything?

Lieutenant mills and her people
are doing everything they can.

Well, then they need to do more.

She is ten years old.

There's no sign
of forced entry.

And we don't know
what happened.

So, let's stay positive.

Is there any way sara
could've just wandered off

And gotten lost
accidentally?

No. She's a good kid.
She's responsible.

She would never just leave.

And your older boys,
they're adopted?

Any chance sara
felt left out?

Maybe some friction
between the kids?

Sara was a happy accident

After we got the boys,
but the four of them

Couldn't be closer.
Her brothers are

Out there now
looking for her.

And we should be
out there looking.

I can't stay
inside here anymore.

Honey, you need
to forgive yourself.

Or we will not get through this.
I'm sorry.

Forgive yourself for...?

Last night,
I fell asleep in my office.

I was doing paperwork
and I just...

Drifted off.

And I forgot to set the alarm.

And now, my little girl...

My family's cursed.

"sometimes people get caught
in the path of a storm...

"and there's
nothing they can do

"but wait for it
to pass over them.

But know that
it will pass."

You told me that
when I was nine.

And those words kept
me from sliding

Off the edge of the world.

I didn't know
if you'd remember me.

When jenny and I became
wards of the state,

If you hadn't been
in my life...

I don't think I'd be wearing
this badge right now.

I think that's more
August corbin's doing than mine.

I was just your caseworker.

Beth, you've been so good
to me and to my family.

We are going to find sara.

You have my word.

So, we're celebrating
a scoundrel, are we?

What are you doing?!

Helping!

I will not sit idly by

When a child's life
is at stake.

Help me

By getting out of those bushes

Before somebody sees you.

Meet me in the woods
and we'll see

If we can pick up
sara's trail.

So, that whole display case
in beth's living room is a lie?

Despite what
his descendents believe,

Daniel forbes lancaster
was no patriot.

In fact, general washington
despised the man.

He sided with the patriots
very late in the war.

After it became clear

The tide had turned
against the british.

We no longer had any need
for his vast holdings.

Beth's family has funded
foster care programs for years.

You believe the lancasters
are trying to make amends

For their ancestor's
selfishness?

I'm saying

That you can't undo the past.

Just work on changing
the here and now.

Lieutenant.

There was a struggle here.

Blood spatter.

The ground
gave way here.

There's more
blood splatter.

But whose blood?

I see no trail anymore.

Crane!

Ooh.

It's a bone.

And it's hollow.

On purpose.

May I?

Jiahu gudi.

A flute made of bone.

This is the oldest known
instrument made in china.

That's odd.

Strange chord structure.

Lieutenant?

Lieutenant!

Okay!

What just happened?

Where the hell was I going?

I believe I know what
threat we're facing.

Miss sara is not lost.

She was lured into these woods
by a creature of legend.

This instrument

Belongs to a pied piper.

God! I haven't had
to do this much

Sneaking about since
the second continental congress.

Oh, let me guess... this was when
betsy ross had the hots for you.

Oh, that woman was relentless.

Once, adams found me

Hiding in a broom closet.

From her.

I-I'm sure
it's because you were

Just the cutest
continental courier.

An assessment your new
sheriff reyes does not share.

Until there is a
detente between us,

I shall continue
to evade her.

I'm sure you'll grow on her.

I transcribed the range
of the stops in it.

The holes bear
a similar note composition

To a piccolo flute... b, c,

C-sharp, etc.

But they all
pitch up half a key

Instead of continuing
a normal sustained note.

But that doesn't explain why the
damn thing put me in a trance.

Also,

You play the flute?

I'd like to see you try
bringing a cello

Onto the battlefield.

The pied piper's
a german fairy tale, crane.

The piper of hameln, yes.

But the story I'm thinking of
is much closer to home,

One that is not a fairy tale.

One that could explain
our mystery abductor.

I once heard,

During the height of the war,

When british soldiers
were quartered

At sleepy hollow,
a mysterious man

Lured an entire garrison
out of doors

With beautiful,

Entrancing music.

Only to subject
each and every soldier

To a cowardly and ignoble fate.

One man, a piper with

Deadly skill,

Killed them all.

I didn't think
there was anything

Otherworldly about it,
until I saw the effect

This instrument had on you,

Lieutenant.
As the modus operandi match,

It stands to reason
that the same assassin

That lured these men
to their deaths

May have taken
miss sara as well.

Why would an assassin who killed
redcoats target a little girl?

The modus operandi
doesn't quite fit.

That I do not know.

But the effect this instrument
had on you is undeniable.

Do you recall

Anything from
during your enchantment?

I remember
feeling compelled to

Go somewhere.

A place.

A summoning spell.

This music actually pulls
his victims to his lair.

I know where you're going
with this.

You play the music,
I get all trancey

And lead us to where the piper
is holding sara.

We have no idea what effect
this may have on you.

Not to mention,
we'd be using you as bait.

I know what it's like to be lost
in those woods

And have something evil
messing around with you.

Moloch did it to me.

And now the piper's doing it
to sara.

Play the thing.

I do have an idea

How best to control the effects
of the music.

This 30-second loop,
as you accurately named it,

Should mimic the effects
of the flute

And prevent it from affecting
anyone else in the vicinity.

Your first recording.

Maybe we'll cut an album
together when this is all done.

One achievement at
a time, lieutenant.

Here.

I will be with you
at every moment.

Good.

'cause if you lose sight
of me...

A gillygaupus like me?

I can see for miles
at my height.

And I say you retire that
nickname right here and now.

So beautiful.

Lieutenant.

Lieutenant, lieutenant.

All right?

All right? All right? Yeah?
Mm-hmm.

We may have found our target.

The piper?
Quite possibly.

Where?

I saw someone
beyond those rocks.

No!

Don't shoot.

Unbelievable.

Hawley.

Oh, hell, just shoot me.

What happened?

The kid.

She's still alive.

You can still...
You saw her?

There's still time.

There's still time
to save that girl.

So, this piper... you saw it?

Yo, pride and prejudice,

You mind not touching
anything in there?

Some of it goes boom.

It was dark out,
so I didn't really

Get a good look at him,
but yeah,

He took that kid.

I was out on a job

When I saw the girl,

And then he attacked me.

He's pretty fast with a knife.

Assuming money's
the reason you're out here,

Did the lancasters hire you
to find miss sara?

I'm searching
for a flute.

It's made of bone.

Hollow, covered in holes.

Maybe you've seen it?

It's a high-value artifact.

So, you know,

Any help would be appreciated.

Tell us what you know,

And we'll take it from there.

Starting with how you knew the
piper would strike that night.

It was the kid's tenth birthday.

The curse.

Yeah?

No? Well,

There's been a plague on
the lancaster family

Since its legend began
in 1778.

Yes, well, we know at that time
an entire garrison of redcoats

Was stationed
in the family estate.

Much to daniel lancaster's
chagrin.

Right. Apparently,

They were a bit too friendly
with his daughters,

And daniel decided to take
matters into his own hands.

Of course.

It was daniel who hired
the piper of legend that lured

The british to their deaths.

He was most likely a mercenary.

They were far too common
during the war.

Daniel hires a mercenary, yes,

But not just anyone.

No. A killer who had the speed
to kill men quickly.

Let me guess.

Because he'd given his soul
to a demon.

All that would remain

Would be for daniel
to betray that mercenary.

And because of that betrayal,
every generation, the piper

Supposedly lures
a lancaster girl into the woods

When she turns ten,

Which is when her bones

Are the right size
to make his instruments.

Each one having
a different effect

On its victims.

Pretty sick stuff.

Yesterday was sara's
tenth birthday.

If the demon this mercenary gave
his soul to was moloch...

Then he would
not remain dead,

But rise again as the piper.

So you fought this creature,
did you?

Crane.
Creature?

Dude, I got blindsided

By a costumed psycho.

That's about it.

Are you certain about that?

People, the piper
is just a legend.

A sicko with a costume

Acting this
whole thing out.

You know, taking kids.
Yet all you want

Is to procure his flute.

Well, that's the job, okay?

And for the record,

I tried to save her.
Legend or not,

You said that
the piper's m.O.

Is to weaken the victims

Before he kills them.
Yeah, they die

Of exposure or starvation.

It's not really
a fairy tale ending.

It's been less than 36 hours.

We still have a shot
at saving sara,

But we don't know enough
about what we're facing.

So we need all the
help we can get.

Ooh, whoa, whoa, whoa,
hey, hey.

Just be careful
with that thing, okay?

Wrap it in a soft cloth
or something.

Lieutenant, need I remind you
that this man

Stole the judas coin
from our very grasp.

I think you mean
I'm keeping it safe.

Here's the deal.

You help us
bring sara back safe,

This is yours.

That means you
tell us everything

That you got from
your research

And provide full tactical
support on the rescue.

Absolutely not.
Lieutenant,

We cannot work

With this callous
brigand-for-hire.

Okay.

When do we leave?

"the horseman of war will gather
his soldiers to rise

And begin the end of days."

That is seriously freaky.

What's the gag?

How's that work?
For the love of god,

Will you be quiet
for a single moment?

There is no gag.

This is a rather vicious
form of enchantment.

Enchantment, right.

Ooh. Lieutenant.

Oh...

All right?

We may have found something.

You sure?

You were heading
directly towards it.

We do this carefully.

Hawley, it's time
to earn your pay.

What are we walking into?

Well, legend says

The piper's jam is
to weaponize sound.

Make instruments that
trigger different tones

And frequencies.

To summon, entrance...

And kill.

You guys really believe
that cheap parlor trick's

A real enchantment?

Some type of audio
hypnosis, come on.
Shh.

I've seen better
magic acts in vegas.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

These foundations...

Okay.

Let's do this.

Huh.

Sara?

She's alive.

Huh?

We're not alone.

Oh, damn.

Lieutenant, hurry!

Hey!

He's fast. He's too fast.

This isn't working!

Hawley!

Oh, what the hell.

Ah!

Go!

Shakespeare!

Move!

Crane.

Come on!

Quickly, before he follows.

All right.

All right.

Lieutenant.
Mm-hmm.

Okay, sweetheart,
you're going home now.

I can't remember

How I got there.

We get her back home...

Load up on ammo, get back here
and take that thing down.

Without question.

That explosion would
merely have slowed him down.

Cool.

You guys can let me know
how that turns out.

The flute?

After everything
we've seen?

Unless you want to discuss a new
fee structure for my services,

Yes, I am deeply
uninterested

In hunting that thing down.
I was right.

You are a self-serving
reprobate.

We made a deal, okay?

You don't like
how this went down,

Guess what... I don't do refunds.

Kid's safe.

I call that a win.

You two want to get
yourselves killed,

That's where I get off.

Hawley, there isn't
a choice here.

The evil we face is real.

It exists.

Does this mean
nothing to you?

It means business is booming.

End of sentence.

So the piper's

A real monster.

That's pretty
messed up.

Is it gonna haunt me?
Definitely.

That's why god
created the shot glass.

Oh, you...

This thing is a part of a bigger
picture... the end of days.

End of days?

Which version?

I've heard at least
200 of them.

Each complete

With their own rare

And very expensive
collectables.

The flute.

Forget about him, lieutenant.

The only thing this mercenary
cares for is money.

You do you profession proud,

Privateer.

Yeah, I was hoping
you were better than this.

You gonna keep your end of the
deal, or do we have a problem?

No problem.

Oh!

In all the excitement,
looks like it was damaged.

There is no way

We were giving you a weapon
that powerful intact.

Guess I don't do
refunds either.

Good luck in
the next round.

See you around, kid.

Baby, you're all right.

You're all right.

Where did you find her?

About three miles
into the north woods,

By havemeyer falls.

Someone took her.

We have more units
on their way.

They're setting
up a perimeter.

Stay inside, you'll be safe.

And I swear this
will be over soon.

Thank you both,
so much.

Thank you.

It's over.

You kept your promise.

Saved the child.

Not until we finish the job.

You ready for this?

He's an expert
swordsman...

Perhaps the best
I've seen.

He caught me off guard.
That will not happen again.

Which is why
we need these.

Noise-cancelling earbuds.
Keep us from getting affected

By the piper's weapons.

What possible defense

Could something
so small provide?

Incredible.

We'll be able to take him.

I said, if we keep those in

When he starts using that staff,
we have a chance.

This may seem
an odd query,

But mrs. Lancaster's reaction
when we delivered miss sara

Safely to her arms...
Disappointment?

The woman's raison d'etre
is protecting children,

Yet she showed no
sign of relief.

If someone
rescued my child,

I'd be overjoyed,
exuberant.

Right now,

Our focus is to kill that thing

Before it comes
looking for its prey.

Hawley mentioned that the piper
had been taking lancaster girls

For centuries.

Uh...

Lieutenant?

If you would perform
the logging ceremony.

Okay.

Lancaster family,

Keyword "abductions."

Okay, as far back as
town records go,

Every generation,
a lancaster girl's gone missing.

Each on her tenth birthday,
like hawley said.

Including beth's
older sister, lucy.

Up to a dozen girls
over hundreds of years...

All disappeared.

With one exception.

1936, a lancaster
daughter disappeared.

A search party
quickly recovered her.

Only for the other
children in the family

To die suddenly of
a mysterious fever.

Crane...

What if those deaths

Are part of the piper's curse
against the lancaster family?

If the piper is
denied his prize...

All the children
in the family die.

Mrs. Lancaster
adopted those boys,

Trying to avoid the plague
on her family's house.

And then she had sara.

What if mrs. Lancaster
believed

There was no possible
way to avoid the curse?

She'd be left with
a most horrifying dilemma.

The only way to save
the other children...

Is to sacrifice one.

Oh, my god.

Richard, when did this start?

Less than an hour ago.
They were perfectly fine,

And then all of a sudden,

All this.
The piper's curse.

If this continues, they
won't survive the night.

Where is beth?
She took sara.

She said she was gonna
meet us at the hospital.

Richard, stay
with your boys.

All right, son, just breathe.
It's all right.

She brings sara to the piper,
those boys live.

But if she doesn't make
the trade, they'll perish.

That's not
gonna happen.
No.

Are you serious?

I'll explain en route.

Now, in the interest
of haste, may I...

Yeah.

You drive. I'll try
to get ahold of beth.

Come on.

Pick up, pick up,
pick up, pick up.

Still not picking up.

You stole the family sword.

It is no mere sword,
lieutenant.

A fishkill bailey
cutlass would make

Even the lowliest servitor

The envy of the entire
oxford fencing club.

You want a rematch?

Honor demands it.

Oh, sorry!

Sorry. Sorry.

Jinba ittai.

No! I don't want
to go any further!

We have to keep going.

I don't understand.

Why are we here?

Mom!

Tell me what's wrong!

Beth. Let her go.

Stop.

Whoa.

Don't come any closer.

What is your plan here?

Take her deep
into the woods,

And wait for the piper
to show up?

Try and kill him
before he kills you?

Or were you just...

Gonna let him take sara?

You don't know

What it's like to feel

This helpless.

We will find another way.

There is no other way!

One way or another,
that thing

Finds a way to take...

When I was seven,
he took my sister.

He takes

One child,

Or the curse takes them all.

Abbie,

Haven't you ever prayed
for something

From your past to just

Go away?

Refuse to believe
that it's true?

This is not who you are.

Let me help you.

My good lady, a great evil

Has taken control
of your legacy,

And for your sake

And the sake
of all of your children,

Trust us.

We can make this right.

I didn't know what to do.

Oh, my god.

Oh, sara!

Oh, sara, I'm so, so sorry.

No! No!

Finish it!

No more kids...

...Privateer.

I had him.

Fired?

Hmm.

I've never lied
to you, captain.

A lie

Of omission is still a lie.

You are the biblical
horseman of war.

You didn't think
that was relevant?

The signs
were all there.

You chose to look the other way.

People usually do when it suits.

But if you no longer
wish me to act

On your behalf, I do understand.

It will mean

Cutting off the funding
that I have secured

For your wife
from the policeman's board.

Oh, and ending
the insurance payments

For macey's medical needs.

You...

Stay away from my family.

And I would think
that your court hearing

Will be delayed

Indefinitely.

You won't be seeing them
for quite a long time.

Why even do this?

Hmm?

What is it you want from me?

The question is, captain,
what do you want from me?

My only objective,
since day one,

Has been to make things right.

For what is war
but an instrument of justice?

Let me be yours.

You are the enemy.

You serve a demon.

Your friends have rather turned
you around on this subject.

Ask yourself,
have they kept your family safe?

Have they kept your child
from the clutches of a demon?

Have abigail mills
and ichabod crane

Done anything but bring misery
and suffering to your life?

You need some time to think.

Take it.

I am but a phone call away.

Hey.

What have you done to me?

I suggest, captain,

That you take solace
in the teachings of the bible.

You'll find ezekiel 18:4

Quite enlightening.

Here's a pen.

Ow!
Oh, I'm so sorry.

I signed in blood
and you took my soul.

Sadistic larceny.

This is typical
of the italians.

A gaudy hillock
of overheated milk

Atop a thimble's worth
of coffee.

And the cost...

Equal to three

Tennessee stallions.

Well...

Oh, my.

I can see why
this might be popular.

I can't with you.
Come here.

Oh.
Yeah.

Thank you.

It does seem fitting

That a creation of moloch's
would inflict

Such a hobson's choice
on an innocent family.

She was damned
any path she chose.

Which is why
what we did is a big save.

Miss mills?

Are you gloating?

We saved lives, ended a curse.

We made it right.

Well, our respite is over.

Let's get back to work.

We have a war to win.

Oh, it's hot under the foam.

Crane? Crane?

Nicholas hawley?

Only my mother and people
with warrants call me that.

You have it?

The thing is,

It got a little damaged
in transit.

As in broken.

Now, I know
we made a deal,

But this was not an easy job.

Check your account.

It's already done.

On behalf of my buyer,
I thank you, mr. Hawley.

That went well.

As requested, sir.

It's perfect.
