Witches of East End (2013–2014): Season 1, Episode 8 - Snake Eyes - full transcript

WENDY: Prevvously on
Witches of East End...

Your necklace, it's red.

This is your last life.

You should probably move along now.

INGRID: You dvdn't have to do that.
I can take care of myself.

You have nothing to worry about.

I just want to make sure I'm not getting
in the middle of something.

FREYA: It was just a kiss.

And we are never, ever
going to tell anyone, because it's over.

DASH: I heard you at the lvbrary.

(GASPS)



I'm leaving early for London.

PENELOPE: I'm not your mother.
You knew me as Athena.

Why am I here?

Serpens clavem. It's a golden snake.

The tail looks like a key.

I need you to convvnce your aunt
to gvve vt back.

INGRID: Thvs wvll end
vf you tell me where the snake vs.

It's gone.

She said one is your soul mate,
and the other your destroyer?

Does that mean
one of them is gonna kill you?

It's a metaphor, Ingrid.
Tarot cards are tricky that way.

And you think Killian is the destroyer?

Obviously. All this trouble
started the night I met him.

He's the reason I lost Dash.
Damn right he's the destroyer.



What, two minutes, and there's already...

So, what are you gonna do?

What can I do? Dash is in London.

He's not returning any of my calls.

He hates me right now, and rightfully so.

Enjoy.

Freya, I'm so sorry.

It's okay.
I am not gonna let Killian destroy me.

(COUPLE QUARRELLING)

I'm gonna trade all this heartbreak for good.

Like with that angry couple
back there. Watch.

Look, I'm sorry. Let's not do that again.

Okay.

What did you just do?

Gave them a "'Rush of Love,"' with a twist.

(LAUGHS) Damn, you're good.

FREYA: My life may be in shambles,

but at least I can make someone else happy.

(FREYA SIGHS)

(CHANTING IN LATIN)

(DOOR CLOSES)

JOANNA: Wendy.

Hey.

Hey.

What's up?

I need to show you something,

(SIGHS)

And I don't want you to get angry with me.

Okay, why would I be angry?

(GASPS)

The portal key?

What the hell? You said that was destroyed.

- I lied.
- You lied?

I was killed over that key!

I'm on my last life now.

I am so sorry.

You're so sorry!

You promised me that

you were not gonna get angry.

No, I didn't.

- I heard you!
- No, I didn't!

What are you doing, Joanna?
What happened?

And why did the shifter think that I stole it?

I have no idea. I don't know.

Jo...

Archibald wanted it, for sure.

Yeah?

And he even suspected that we had it,

but he's never figured out where it was,

and I've kept it hidden for centuries.

The shifter knows where we live, Joanna.

Wendy, I messed up.

Yeah, you messed up.

You told me that thing was destroyed

after we sealed the portal.

I believed you.

I know.

And like I said...

You lied.

(SIGHS)

Why would you keep that snake?

It's seductive and

corrupting and poisonous.

You and I both know what it does to people.

Why would you keep it this whole time?

You thought that
you might use it again someday?

Unbelievable!
And you call me the reckless one?

You know that
we can never go back there, Joanna.

Why would you want to?

Our lives are so much better here.

I've never used it, Wendy.
I don't plan to use it,

but I'm not getting rid of it,

it is my only connection with our home.

(SIGHS)

I don't feel good about this.

Hey. Sorry I'm late.

Hey. Oh, no problem, no problem.
So, what happened?

Is Freya's wedding off?

Maybe. Probably. Oh, I just wish
there was something I could do to help.

Well, if it makes you feel better, there's

someone else here that you can help.

Do they want to check out a book?

Seems like he wants to check you out.

Oh, that's just Mike.

That's the guy
that saved you in the Civil War aisle?

You didn't tell me how cute he was.

You think so?

BARB: Yeah.

Barb, no, I'm not in the market.

Well, I'm not telling you to marry him.

I'm not even telling you to date him.

But I am telling you to
go over there and help him.

Mmm-hmm.

Hey, Mike.

Ingrid, I am so glad to see you.

What's going on?

I hear you know a lot
about the history of East End.

I have studied some, yes.
What do you want to know?

Everything. My novel is historical fiction,

set here at the turn of the 20th century,

and I could really use
some insight from an expert.

(LAUGHS) Well, I'm not sure I'm an expert,
but I would be happy to help.

Great.

(INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS)

(MELLOW MUSIC PLAYING)

Hey.

How's Dash's hand?

I said hello.

We're out of tequila.
I think there's some more upstairs.

So what, you're just not gonna talk to me?

I just did. I said we're out of tequila.

(SCOFFS)

How can you be mad at me?

None of this is my fault.
I didn't tell Dash what happened.

Can you honestly look me in the eye and say

you are not happy that he found out?

This is what you wanted to have happen!

(SLAMS FIST)

Stop putting this on me.
I've done everything you asked.

You wanted to be friends, we're friends.

You told me to move on, I moved on.

Stop treating me like I screwed up your life.

You did! You destroyed it!

You think I want my brother to hate me?

You think I want you to hate me?

I don't know what you want.
I don't think you know what you want.

I think this whole thing is a game to you,
and I am not doing it anymore.

Hi.

(SIGHS) Amy.

Sorry, I thought
I would surprise you at work. Surprise.

Maybe we shouldn't
wait until sundown to bury it.

Maybe we shouldn't bury it at all.

I think we should just burn it.

Would you feel more comfortable if

I took care of this without you?

No, I'd feel more comfortable
if it didn't exist.

You saw what it did to our father.

It killed everything good inside of him.

We're not getting rid of it,
so you can stop looking at me like that.

Listen, Joanna,
I understand why you kept it.

I do.

You thought if you waited long enough,

that maybe someday you could use it

so you could see Frederick again.

I don't want to talk about Frederick.

You never want to talk about him.

I know that you miss him.

I don't want to talk about it. I should
never have told you about the key.

So just leave it alone, and I'll take care of it.

ECHOING WHISPER: Wendy...

Wendy.

Wendy.

(SCREAMS)

Ahh!

(WENDY YELPING)

- What did you do?
- It attacked me.

Get it off right now.

- Ow, ow, ow!
- Wait! I don't want to hurt you.

What the hell happened?
Did you look in its eyes?

You know you are not supposed
to look in its eyes.

Okay, I am really, really not in the mood

for one of your lectures right now.

(CHANTING IN LATIN)

This snake is a powerful vessel of pure evil.

I think we need something a little stronger

than off the cuff Latin commands!

Let's try sarcasm. That should help.
Let me get The Grimoire.

(GASPS) Joanna. Look.

(WENDY WHIMPERS)

Stay right there.
I'm getting the book. We'll figure this out.

Hurry.

(MOANS)

(ROCK MUSIC PLAYING)

Look, Killian...

Oh, God, no.

No good conversation
ever started with "'Look, Killian..."'

I really like you. I do. A lot.

I have a thing for lost souls.
I'm a sucker for them.

But I don't think
I'm the one who can find you.

If this is because of Freya, I told you...

You did.

You told me that
you don't have feelings for her.

And you can lie to me if you want,

but you should stop lying to yourself.

Good luck, Killian.

Okay, what else have you got?

- Come on.
- Hit me.

You finished those already?

I am an unbelievably fast note-taker.
It's quite a skill.

Wow. I don't know how many more history
books on East End that we have.

I'm actually looking for
something more about

the occult. Witchcraft, curses,
spirits, that kind of thing.

Why?

Well, I'm sure you're already aware of this,

but this town has a long history
of supernatural legends,

from the early settlers to the witch burnings

on to Archibald Browning
and his cult at Fair Haven.

You know, East End is also famous for being

one of the best pumpkin-growing
towns on the Eastern Seaboard.

- Hmm.
- Hmm.

BARB: Uh... (LAUGHS NERVOUSLY)

Ingrid wrote her dissertation
about witchcraft.

Interesting. She didn't mention it to me.

It's not something
I usually slip into conversation

unless I want to bore someone.

- She also does witchcraft.
- Barb, stop.

- No, Barb, continue.
- This is stupid.

She got me pregnant.

Okay. No, that sounds wrong.

I meant she did
a fertility spell for me that made it possible.

INGRID: It was a fake spell
we got off the Internet

probably written by an 11-year-old boy.

It had nothing to do with
you getting pregnant.

There's no such thing as witchcraft.

Well, tell that to this thing inside me

that makes me throw up every morning.

(LAUGHING) She's funny.

Sounds like we have
a lot more to talk about.

Actually, no.
I got a lot of work to do right now.

Well, I'm not going anywhere.

- Okay.
- So, we can talk later.

- Yes.
- All right.

(EXHALES IN RELIEF)

Didn't I just see Amy? Where is she?

She left. Just broke up with her.

What? Why?

Well, I felt like she was interested

in something serious and I'm not.

What are you doing, Killian?

- What do you mean?
- I mean, here.

With your life. Why are you even still here?

Why be here at all
if you're just hurting people?

I don't think
you're in a position to judge me, Freya.

Is there a Freya Beauchamp here?

Yeah, just over there.

These are for you. I just need you to sign.

Thanks.

(GASPS)

Oh, my God. They're from Dash.

You sure about that? No name on the card.

Of course, they're from Dash.
Who else would they be from?

Oh, my God. (SNIFFS) Ahh!

Ow!

JOANNA: Got it.

Wendy, don't worry. I have an idea.

Wendy?

Killian.

Hey, Mom.

- Are you ready to go?
- Yeah, sure.

Freya. I'm going out on my break.
Be back in an hour.

Penelope, it's so nice to see you.

Dear, are you all right? You look terrible.

What?

KILLIAN: Seriously, what's wrong?

What do you mean?

Well, for one thing, you keep swaying.

- Oh, I do?
- You look positively green.

Come with me. I'm taking you home.

My shift isn't over.

I insist. I'm sure Killian can cover for you.

We'll have to take a rain check on our lunch.

Yeah, of course. No problem.

But I can't leave work.

You can't stay here if you're getting sick.
Now come on, dear.

(EXHALES SHAKILY)

I promise to take very good care of you.

Hey. You okay?

Yeah.

I found a spell that may work.

I have what we need but I'll need to prepare.

I think we can save the key if we get it right.

I don't think that'll be necessary.

Wendy?

This key is the answer to our problems.

We can use it to go back home.

Wendy, stop. The venom's getting to you.

We just talked about it. We can't go back.

Maybe it's safe by now.

Look at me. It'll never be safe.

That's why I haven't used the serpent.

Maybe you're wrong.

You know we didn't leave by choice.

Our father banished us to this world
when he came into power.

- But...
- No!

No. He said if we ever
returned to Asgard, he will kill us.

But maybe he's changed.

He hasn't changed.

You don't know that.

I have one life left, Joanna,
and I don't want to spend it here.

I want to go home.

You're immortal. You don't understand.

Wendy, please listen, I need you to focus.

If I could just get to the portal...

No. Absolutely not.

If that portal opens,

we have no idea what may come
through from the other side!

(GASPS)

The snake is seducing you
to get what it wants.

It only wants to open the portal.

That's all I want.
I miss my home. It was better there.

I miss it, too, Wendy,
but it's not the same place anymore.

(CHANTS IN LATIN)

No!

WENDY: Joanna.

Joanna!

(CHANTS IN LATIN)

(SCREAMS)

You are such a bitch.

Grow up, Joanna.

You can't keep me in here forever.

I will break this spell eventually.
You know I will.

This has nothing to do with you.

Ahh!

(YELLING)

I'm trying to help you.

You can help me by letting me go!

(GRUNTING)

Ahh!

(YELPS)

We have got to get this thing off of you.

Are you kidding me?

You don't care about me.

You didn't speak to me for over 100 years,

because you're a cold-hearted bitch.

Just ask Frederick.

Oh, that's right. You can't.
Because you left him behind.

You abandoned your only son.

That is not true.

It's not? You didn't abandon him?

He refused to come with us.
You know that he was turned against me.

You know,
for somebody supposedly so nurturing,

all you seem to do is destroy people.

That's why you can't talk about Frederick.

Because you can't deal with
what you did to him.

Or maybe you just don't care.

It broke my heart, Wendy.

There's not a day that goes by that

I don't regret leaving him there.

What do you think
the girls are gonna say when I tell them that

you left their brother behind?

Stop it.

Oh, that's right.
It doesn't really matter, does it?

Because they're gonna die soon anyway.

It always happens around this time.
Right, Joanna?

Tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock.

That's enough.

Did I strike a nerve?

(CHANTS IN LATIN)

Oh, I feel worse. What is wrong with me?

Drink this tea. It'll help.

I can't feel my arms.

Well, let me help.

Dash sent me flowers today.

Oh, that's wonderful, dear.
That must mean he forgives you.

He's my soul mate.

Of course, he is. Have some more.

I just feel so sleepy.

I'm gonna lay down.

That's good. You sleep.

(CHANTING IN LATIN)

Hey.

I'm leaving soon. I promise.

It's just,
it's so much nicer here than my hotel room.

Take your time. I found one more

- that might be useful.
- Great.

- (SCOFFS)
- (LAUGHING)

I did not tell you about my dissertation,

but you didn't tell me
you're a published author.

I can't believe
there's a library that actually stocks this.

It wasn't exactly a bestseller.

Well, we have it,
and I would like for you to sign it for me.

Isn't there some kind of rule
about writing in library books?

I won't tell if you don't.

Thank you. So, what's it about?

I don't want to spoil it for you,

so you'll just have to read it yourself.

Deal.

Thank you, Ingrid, for all of your help.

This would be taking so much longer
without you.

Even for Super Speed Reader Guy?

Yes, even for him.

(LAUGHING)

So, you have my book.

When do I get to read your dissertation?

Oh, no. Mmm-mmm. That is not happening.

I never even finished it.

Why not?

I realized that

an academic study of witchcraft
was kind of ridiculous.

Oh, so you don't believe
in the supernatural?

No. Mmm-mmm.
I'm a rational skeptic, all the way.

In that case, you probably shouldn't
read the book I'm working on,

if I ever finish it.

Why not? I like science fiction and fantasy.

It's not fantasy.

Really?

It is about witches,
but I believe witches are real.

Funny.

Where are you, Wendy?
You're not going into the portal.

(YELLING)

(CHOKING)

Ahh!

So, what, are you gonna kill me?
Is that the plan?

If I have to. Unless you kill me first.

You forget, I'm immortal.

But now I know what'll kill you.

This is giving me all kinds of good ideas.

That thing's infecting you.
You can't believe what it's telling you.

No, it's opened my eyes.
I now see that you're the evil one, Joanna.

No wonder your husband left you.

The only man that
you ever really truly loved.

And you destroyed him as well!

Leave him out of this, Wendy.

(LAUGHS MOCKINGLY)

The girls don't know
about that one, either, do they?

What have you told them about their father?

Don't they have a right to know
that he's alive and so close by?

He left a long time ago.

He knows where we are.
He chooses to stay away.

I wonder why he chooses to stay away.

Is it because he can't stand the sight of you?

Because that one, I can understand.

Or is it that he can't forgive you
for leaving Frederick behind?

Or is it losing the girls
over and over and over again,

because it's your fault that they're cursed?

Stop it!

(THUDS)

I understand how it sounds.

I used to be a skeptic, too,
but I've seen evidence,

I've seen convincing evidence...

Evidence can be faked.

There are real witches, Ingrid,

living among us, hiding right in plain sight.

I believe they came here
a very long time ago from a different world.

Asgard.

Asgard? This place is a myth.

I think it's real, and I think it's
actually connected to this very town.

So you believe
there's this other world of magical people

who can find their way here?

Well, when you say it in that tone of
voice, of course, it sounds crazy.

I'm sorry, it's just,
it's hard to wrap your head around it.

Look, I'm not saying
it's definitely real. I just hope it is.

My father spent
his entire adult life looking for it.

Was he a writer, too?

No. An archeologist.

He was obsessed with proving that

this mythical world was a real place.

Of course, people thought he was insane.

And eventually it came true,
he did lose his mind.

I'm so sorry.

No. It's okay. He died a couple years ago,

but before he went,
he shared his work with me,

and the scary thing is, it all makes sense.

I have to prove my father wasn't crazy.

(SIGHS) I've been going through his work,

putting together the pieces,
connecting the dots,

and what I think I've discovered

is the door to Asgard is here in East End.

(CHANTING IN LATIN)

You're starting to really piss me off,
Wendy. This ends right now!

Oh, it will, but not the way you hope.

You had this key the whole time!

We didn't have
to be stuck here where we're persecuted,

where we have to hide our true nature.
Why don't you want to go back?

Because we're safer here than there.

Not for long. (CHANTING IN LATIN)

Ooh, nice reflexes, babe.

You keep that thing on much longer,

you'll never be yourself again.

It's been pumping poison
into your veins this whole time.

Then you'll have
to destroy it to get it off me,

and I know that you can't
because of Frederick.

So I guess you're
in a bit of a pickle, aren't you?

Wendy, come on.

(CHANTING IN LATIN)

Ha!

(CHANTING IN LATIN)

My father found this on a dig in Peru.

He believed that this was a map to Asgard.

As you can see, though, it's very faded.

That is an interesting symbol.

What did he think that meant?

Uh, he didn't know. He thought it had
something to do with witchcraft,

but he couldn't crack it.

I haven't figured it out, either,

but that's not gonna stop me from trying.

DASH: Hello?

Anybody home?

Mom, are you here?

- What's going on?
- (GASPS)

Hurry! Get your medical bag!

Well, it sure seems like
you have a lot of material

- for this book of yours.
- Yeah.

I should probably get going.

There's just one more book
I need to look at. I'll be right back.

(CHANTING IN LATIN)

Wow.

(CHANTS QUIETLY IN LATIN)

- See anything interesting on there?
- No.

I think you're right, it's just too worn out.

Yeah.

- What's wrong with her?
- I can barely feel the pulse.

What the hell happened here?

I don't know. We were having tea,

and she just suddenly collapsed.

- How long ago?
- I don't know,

just one or two minutes
before you got here.

Should I call 911?

She's in anaphylaxis.

Her blood pressure's dropping.
Her breathing's labored.

I can practically hear her throat closing up.

What are you going to do?

She needs a shot of epinephrine, now.

(GASPS)

(WENDY CHANTING IN LATIN)

Wendy?

- You'll never get out.
- Watch me.

Ow!

(GROANS)

So, now you're trapped, too.

- Let me go.
- Let me go, and I will.

No. I can't do that.

Well, your blood pressure's normal,
so that's good.

Oh, thank God.

What did you eat today, I mean,

what do you think could've caused this?

I don't know. It's just, it's all so foggy.

I'm just glad you got here when you did.

Yeah, we should probably get you

to the hospital, though, just to be safe.

No, no, no. I'm okay. Really.

You let me know
if you need anything, all right?

(DOOR CLOSES)

So, how did you get back
from London so fast?

I didn't go to the conference.

I flew to London, I got off the plane

and I just couldn't do it.

Couldn't do what?

I couldn't sit through all those seminars

knowing things weren't settled with us.

I couldn't have this ocean between
us knowing things weren't okay.

So I turned around and I came right back.

I came back to tell you
that I can't marry you.

Not after what you did.

Oh.

Okay.

And then I saw you,

about to die

and I realized that I don't want to live

in a world where you don't exist.

The thought is unbearable.

It's unbearable to me, too.

I thought I lost you
and it was like my life was destroyed.

I will never hurt you again. I promise.

Just promise
you'll never scare me like that again either.

I promise.

I love you, Freya.

Always.

I love you, too.

Thank you for keeping this place open
so late for me.

No problem.
This is what counts as rebellious for me.

(CHUCKLES)

Hey, I hope I didn't freak you out
with all that talk

of mythical cities,
and magical portals and witches.

I swear I'm not as crazy as I seem at first.

No, I don't think you're crazy.

I just think we have different interests.

I left all that witch stuff behind
a long time ago,

so I don't know
how much more help I can be to you.

Okay.

Ingrid, you're not angry
about something, are you?

'Cause I'm sorry if I said something...

No, not at all.
I think I'm just tired. Long night.

I get it, and I owe you one.

If you decide to finish your dissertation,

I'd be more than happy to help.

Good night.

Night.

(DOOR CLOSES)

You know, all you have to do is open
the door, and this will all be over.

Just let me go on my way.
You never have to see me again.

I won't do it.

Okay. Then I'll strangle
you until you pass out,

and I'll take you through the portal

and I'll offer you as a sacrifice.

You'll die, I'll live.

Oh, this key is giving me
so much more strength. I like it.

This shouldn't take much time.

(WHIMPERS)

(GASPS)

(SCREAMS)

Joanna!

(CHANTS IN LATIN)

Ahh!

(WENDY BREATHING HEAVILY)

You're okay.

This should stop the bleeding.

(EXHALES)

I'll heal you later.

I'm just going to take a minute.

(CONTINUES BREATHING HEAVILY)

Will you stop it? I'm fine.

Let me do my job. Please.

All right, I want to get you
to the hospital tomorrow,

run some blood tests.

Yes, Doctor.

I'm not kidding.

I know.

Look, what happened tonight was serious.

You know, I almost lost you.

Do you believe in fate?

Not really.

Well, I do.

I believe certain things
are written in the stars.

Like us. We're meant to be.

I can't wait to call you my wife.

But you need to get some rest.
I'm gonna take a shower.

Hey, I'm gonna start a fire, okay?

DASH: There are some matches
next to the fireplace.

(FREYA CHANTS IN LATIN)

(SNAPS FINGERS)

Uh...

Matches, come toward me.

Um...

(CHANTS IN LATIN)

What is...

I'm so sorry for everything I said.

It wasn't your fault, it was the snake.

Yeah, but because of me,

you destroyed your only chance
to ever see your son again.

It was either that
or let you be a monster forever.

(JOANNA SIGHS)

I understand if you hate me.

It wasn't your fault.

You were right, I should have
destroyed the key a long time ago.

I was just holding onto the hope that

I might see my son again someday.

But it wasn't real.

It was just a hope and...

Even though I hate to admit it...

He really is gone.

He's gone.

I think about him all the time.
I miss him so much.

So do I.

I'm sorry.

(DOOR OPENING)

Hey. What the hell happened in here?

It's nothing.

Long story.

What about you? How was your day?

Strange.

Is there a real place called Asgard?

I'm going to throw up.

Oh, my God, it's true.
And that's where we came from?

Who told you?

How did you...

This guy at the library, a writer.

He's not one of us,
but he's trying to find the door to Asgard.

He's convinced it's in East End.

Great.

Well, that door is locked.

Forever. No one is going in or out.

There have always been mortals
trying to prove that myths are real.

(SNIFFLES)

Don't even humor him.

I'd just stay away from him
as much as possible if I were you.

Yeah, I will.

(DOOR OPENING)

- Hey.
- Hey, sweetheart.

- Hey.
- Hey.

So, Dash is back,
and everything seems to be okay.

- Good.
- That's great.
