Witches of East End (2013–2014): Season 2, Episode 6 - When a Mandragora Loves a Woman - full transcript

Previously
on witches of east end...

We should consult your family.

(screaming, yelling)

Joanna: Well, now we know for
sure what's been killing people

In the town; it's a mandragora.

But why would it even come here
from asgard?

They're feral creatures.

Grandfather built an entire
army to do his bidding.

He must have sent this one
through the portal after me.

Joanna: What is that?
Alex: This dart contains
a poison called discidium.

Enough to kill even
a mandragora.



This is all pretty crazy.

We're warlocks.

Guess who else is one of us?

Beauchamps.

I need to talk to you.

My father died.

(sniffles)

Joanna:
Don't go with him!

No. No!

Yes, I'll meet you in an hour?

Yeah.

I just needed to get
a few things done here

While we are closed.

(sighs)



(clattering in distance)

Hello?

Is anyone there?

Ingrid? Ingrid, are you okay?

I'm so glad
it's gonna be you, hudson.

What?

You've been chosen.

(deep growling)

(screaming)

(bubbling)

Joanna: Mmm... Can you hand me
the madragora's cup?

Yeah.

I didn't realize
that the discidium potion

Would be so involved.

Or smell like dog vomit.

(chuckles)
it's very powerful.

It does have to kill
a mandragora.

So why do we have to cook
this goo, anyway?

I thought alex had enough
to do the job.

No, there was only
enough to coat two darts,

And we used one.

Plus, we need some for ingrid.

Wait... What?

You're gonna use this on ingrid?

We don't have a choice.
Joanna, honey,

Okay, I don't think you're
thinking this through.

The mandragora has ingrid
in a really creepy trance

That we can't break on our own,

So this should bring her
out of it.

We just have to use a smaller
dose on her than on him.

Okay, but it's a poison,
so what if...

I don't want to have to think
about the what ifs.

Pulling ingrid
out of the mind spell

Is just the first step.

We still need to figure out how

To sever
the symbiotic connection

Between ingrid
and the mandragora,

So we can kill it
without killing her.

And you do know how
to do that, right?

Right?

First things first.

Freya...

This is crazy.

We're in the middle of a crisis,
and you're still avoiding me.

You haven't spoken
to me since I...

Your friends killed our father?
They weren't my friends,

And I've beaten myself up
every day since.

You look fine; must not be
punching hard enough.

You can't blame me
for what the zurka twins did.

They're bottom-feeding rats.

I heard the stories, frederick.

You were practically
their ringleader.

I know exactly
what type of person you are.

Yeah, I'm your twin.

And you are nothing like me.

And that's good.

Aunt wendy was right about you.

This is completely ridiculous.

I hated the zurkas.
I got rid of them.

I've done nothing
since I've been here

But try to help
and protect this family.

And since you've been here,
everything's gotten worse.

Can I get a beer?

Yeah, sure thing.

Customer:
Gee, thanks, shitty bartender.

I only had to wait
a million years.

What'd you say to me?

Nothing.
I didn't say anything.

Nervous woman:
If he's gonna have an affair,

Then I'm gonna have an affair.

Oh.

He's cute.

I wonder if he wants
to have sex with me.

Thanks, man.

Why don't you just put
some more head on this?

Worst pour ever.

Businessman: I just want to kill
my boss; he's such a dick.

Man:
It's getting late.

I got to get out of here.

What's the difference

Between manslaughter
and murder?

Man 2: ...He's our guy.
Woman: ...So boring...

Woman 2:
...Where's that bartender?

Man 3:
...I gotta change that...

Man 4: ...Who am I kidding?
Man 5: ...Make as much money...

Man 6:
...We're suffocating there...

You understand me...?
I'm headed for the street...

Man 7:
...Give my lecture...

Woman 3: ...Go here every day,
always the same thing...

Man 8: ...Oh, man, I can't
wait to try that...

Whoa, it smells like
that discidium's ready.

Yeah, as soon as it's cool.

How are we supposed to get
ingrid to take this, anyway?

She can barely gag
down cough medicine.

Alex: For this to work,
it needs

To be injected directly
into the brain.

What?
Freya:
Through her skull?

That brain? How the hell
are we gonna do that?

By any means necessary.

Frederick:
Even if you find ingrid,

What do you do
if that thing attacks?

We can't kill it
without killing her.

Well, if it attacks,
we'll have to inflict it

With a nonlethal wound,
preferably in its leg

So it can't chase us,
because if it can, we're dead.

But if you wound the mandragora,
then you'll wound ingrid.

Which is why we need to unlink
them as quickly as we can.

But you don't know
how to do that,

And there's no spell for that

In our grimoire.

There might be one more
at fair haven.

In archibald browning's
grimoire.

He fancies himself a bit
of an expert on the beasts.

Okay, yeah, but he's been dead
for over 100 years.

We don't even know what happened
to his grimoire.

I know what happened to it.

Ingrid told me dash
and killian found it.

It's at fair haven.
I should go.

I need to talk to dash, see if
he'll help us with the spell.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, you
think that's a good idea?

Last time you saw him,

He didn't look to helpful.

I told you, ingrid has been
helping him with his powers.

We're all the same now;
that changes everything.

And you think just because
the two of you are magic,

That he's just gonna forget
that you left him at the altar?

This isn't about me.
It's about ingrid.

He's gonna want help her.

Okay, fine.
I'm coming with you.

I don't think so.
I should talk to him alone.

Joanna:
Wendy, let her go.

She can handle it.
Here, you're gonna be safe.

You're gonna take these
just in case

You run into ingrid
in a trance.

And I'm gonna stab her
in the brain?

Alex:
And then you and ingrid

Need to run like hell.

All right, so while freya's

At fair haven,
we're gonna look for ingrid.

They'll be in hiding,
since it's still daylight.

All right, so we need to check
in the woods, at her apartment,

And at the library.

(gasps)
look.

Hudson.

Who's this poor bastard?

He's ingrid's friend.
I didn't work.

I wasn't worthy.

(gasps)

Look familiar?
Yeah, it looks like

We were both marked
against our will.

Except that your mark
involved an oath.
Seriously?

You want me to take an oath
of loyalty to you right now?

Would that be enough?
Please, will you both stop it?

Hudson, hudson, look at me.

Hudson, look at me.

Hello, joanna.

I was chosen.

He wanted to wear my skin,

But it wasn't a good fit.

(laughing)

Okay, so he recognizes
his own name.

That's a good sign, right?

He's not like the others.
But this means

That ingrid
and the mandragora were here.

They might still be.

Then let's find them.
No.

Wendy, I need you and
frederick to take hudson

Back to the house.
All right.

Just do whatever you can
to save him.

Okay, hudson,
we're going for a little ride.

(weak laugh)
on a magic carpet?

Close.
It's a station wagon.

(laughs)

(coughs)

(knocking on door)

Dash, hi.

What are you doing here?

I'm sorry to bother you,
but ingrid's in trouble.

We need your help.

Come on in.

Thanks.

I'm always happy to help.

Okay.

Alex:
I think he's on to us.

So he'll be keeping her close.

But by nightfall,

He'll be feeding off of ingrid.

I'd rather not think about
what that process entails.

Let's just hope we find her

Before the second feeding.

After that, the trick
is gonna be severing

Their connection.

Oh, my god!

Ingrid!

Wait, wait, wait, don't,
don't, don't wake her up.

Why?
We need to get the discidium

Into her brain
before he gets back.

I don't think I can do this.

You have to.
No, it could kill her.

Oh, fine, I'll do it.

No, you are not

Stabbing my baby.

Well, one of us
is stabbing her.

Because if she wakes up
before we do,

She will attack us.

She's still entranced.

Look at her breathing.
You're here to hurt him!

I won't let you!
Joanna.

Sana.

Sana, sana, ingrid.

Sana.

(gasping)

Mom?

Mom?
Oh, god.

Where am I?

What-what's happening?

Oh, come on.

We don't have time
to explain.

You got to get out of here.

How did I get here?

Come on. Run.

Run home.

And don't look back!

Joanna?

(growling)

Did you get him?
No.

He's just looking
for a better line of attack.

Losa sársauka...

Lakna sár...

Láta lausan
drago sanguinem...

What are you doing to him?

I'm easing his pain.

I've already tried
a dozen healing spells.

Nothing's worked.
But this spell can dissipate
drago sanguinem.

Dragon's blood? What's that?
It's the mandragora's venom.

It's what's gonna kill him
if we don't stop it.

How would you know that?

Losa sársauka lakna sár...

Just yesterday,

You said the only thing you knew
about mandragoras

Is that the king uses them
to hunt his enemies.

Now, all of a sudden,
you know the name of the venom

And how to counteract it?

Please, get out of the way.
I'm trying to save his life.

Or you're trying to kill him
before he says something

That you don't want us to hear.

This is absurd! What have I done
since I've been here?

Saved my mother's life,
got rid of the zurka twins,

Tried everything in my power
to keep this family safe!

What do I need to do
to prove to you...?

I want you gone.

Leave him alone.

Hola, mi amor.

Hola.

I thought you were at work?

I left.

Came home sick.

Oh, no. Are you okay?

Yeah, fine.

Here, try this.

Oh...?

Rum punch.

It reminds me of the night

We slept on the beach.

I don't remember
getting much sleep that night.

So, you just left
work at the bar

To come home and
make us drinks?

Just needed a break.

From all the voices.

What voices?

Sometimes I feel like

I can hear
what people are thinking.

Like their inner voice
is inside my head.

Lately it's been getting worse.

Mind reading is
one of your gifts.

It worked to your advantage
at the poker table.

It doesn't feel like a gift.

It feels like I'm eavesdropping

On a conversation
I don't want to hear.

And most people's
inner monologues?

Disturbing as shit.

You'll learn to tune it out
as soon as you learn to let go.

Magic?

It's tricky like that.

The less you try
to force control

Over your abilities,

The more control you'll have.

I didn't ask
for these abilities.

I was fine without them.

You'll learn to live with them.

Soon it'll just be

Another fact about you.

Like being right-handed.

Or playing the piano.

You know what's strange?

Some people I can read so well,

And others are just...

...Blank to me.

(laughs quietly)

I've never been able to read

One of your thoughts.

Maybe that's a good thing.
Oh, yeah?

Why's that?

Because if you knew what I
was thinking right now...

...It'd make you blush.

(whispers):
Yeah.

♪

(gasps)

Alex?

Oh, my god!

Oh, my god. Wake up.

(chanting in ancient language)

(panting)

Frederick:
Ingrid.

You're okay.

I don't feel well.

I keep remembering.

And it won't stop.

I just want it to stop!

(screaming)

Make it stop!

Hey, no, you're okay.
You're okay.

I'm so sorry!

I'm so sorry
for everything I did.

It wasn't your fault.

Ingrid, it wasn't
your fault.

It wasn't your fault.
It wasn't your fault.

(glass rattles)

Freya:
Are you okay?

You're acting kind of funny.

I'm great.

Why wouldn't I be?

Ingrid was here earlier.

Did you see her?

No. Why?

Are you upset that
we're spending time together?

Of course not.

I detect a note of jealousy.

No. I'm worried about her.

Falling in love with me?

No.
You know,
I've always liked ingrid.

She's so...

Real.

She's honest.

She's loyal.

Unlike some people.

She's in trouble, dash.

We need your help.

And there's something I need.

The truth.

Can we finally be honest
with each other?

Okay.

You screwed

My brother while you were
with me, didn't you?

What?! No! No, I-I-I...

That's not true. You kissed him.
Oh, uh, yes!

Okay, uh, yes, fine! I did.
I kissed him once...

At our engagement party,
if I recall correctly.

Come on, freya.

We said we'd be honest
with each other.

You had sex

With killian,
so why not just admit it?

I am done having
this discussion.

Where's your
family grimoire?

Why?

I need it to save ingrid's life.

(laughs):
Freya.

I would never give that to you.

Why not?
Because nothing

Would make me happier

Than seeing
all the beauchamp women dead.

Starting with you.

(grunts)
(gasps)

Come back here, you bitch!

(quiet sobbing)

(gasps)
ingrid, you're all right.

Oh.

He's dying, isn't he?

Ingrid...

He's dying because of me.

Yes, he's dying.

But it was the mandragora
it wasn't you.

I remember everything.

What he did to me.

Feeding off of me.

And I let him.

I enjoyed it.

You were under a spell.

And their screams.

All the people he killed.

I can still hear them.

And it's my fault.
I kept him alive.

I kept him alive so he could

Kill people. And now...

Hudson.

Ingrid, don't do this
to yourself.

It wasn't because of you.

Hi.

Ingrid.

You're okay.

I always knew you were a witch.

I'm so sorry, hudson.

(laughs)

I'm just glad you're safe.

Everyone was...

So worried.

(coughing)

There has to be
something we can do.

Honey, it's too late.

Just be with him.

Help him say good-bye.

I love you.

And I'm so sorry.

I wish I could help.

It's okay.

I always knew there was

Magic in the world.

Now I know for sure.

I love being right.
(laughs)

(gasps)

Adora me mas
que cualquier otra.

A los santos les pido

Tu devocion.

What are you doing?

Making you a drink.
Here you go.

Mmm.

What is this?

I can't tell you.

It's my secret recipe.

Want to come back to bed?

So is that what
we're gonna do all day?

This town's
pretty boring.

Gotta make your
own entertainment.

Believe me.

I'm not complaining.

I hope you call in
sick every day.

Finish your drink.

Ah!

(gasps, laughs)

(panting)

Occludo.

Wh...

Oh, my god.

Okay.

Um...

Where do I even...?

(wry laugh)

Okay.

Oh, shit...

Uh, okay, here...

Here...?

(panting)

(gasps)

(music playing)

Okay, okay. Okay.

(creaks)

♪

Okay, it's...

It's...

Yeah, you.

Where is it?

Come on, come on...

Dash (distant):
Freya!

Uh...

(dash shouting)

(freya gasping anxiously)

(distant):
Freya!

When I get in there

I'm gonna snap your neck!

You're not the only one
who can do magic.

(choking)

(yells)

(yells)

(chokes, gasps)

This isn't you, dash.

It's the mandragora venom.

It brings on
psychosis.

I can help you.

See, that's what you don't get.

This is me, freya.

I've changed.

I've done things

That'll make you shudder.

Freya, you have no idea

What I'm capable of.

But you're about
to find out!

(choking)

(dash groans)

(gasps)

Alex.

Oh.

Are you okay?

I... What happened?

What did it do to us?

I don't know.

I-I-I feel fine.

So do I.

Ingrid.

What?

This doesn't
make sense.

Of course
it does.

We can't get
out of here.

This is what
it did to us.

(grunts, gasps)

Dash:
It's no use, freya.

I've made sure
that you can't get out.

Freya:
Dash...

I'm begging you,
please don't do this.

I know there's still
good inside of you.

If that's what
you need to believe...

Whisper it to yourself

While I smash your skull in.

Procumbe!

(groans)

(wheezing laugh)

Is... Is that all you got?

I bet you banged my brother
harder than that.

No matter what
you think,

I never slept with killian.

I loved you, dash.

I really did.
Thank you, freya.

For what?

For leaving me.

It was the best thing
that ever happened to me.

Do you have any idea
how many people

Told me not to lower myself
to be with you?

A white trash bartender
who barely finished high school?

My mother

Would cry herself
to sleep at night,

Ashamed that her son
was too stupid to realize

What a gold-digging little whore
he had for a fiancée.

And she was right about you.

Everyone was right

About you.

Clever girl.

Freya:
Oh, you have no idea.

(grunts)

Nice little trick, huh?

Oh, god.

Are you all right?
(gasps)

(sighs) ...Sana, sana.

Sana, sana.

I tried to kill you,
didn't I?

It wasn't you.

It was the venom.

My priority now is ingrid.

Let me help.

Please.

For ingrid.

Okay.

Joanna:
I'm calling wendy.

She can help get us out of here.

Alex:
It won't work.

There's no reception.

Wait.

How did you know
that it wouldn't work?

'cause I know about this.

Nobody can get us
out of here.

This head game?
It's gonna go on and on

Till we don't know what's real
and what's not anymore.

Oh!

I feel like I am losing my mind.

Alex, relax.

We need to think.

We can figure
this out.

There's no
"figuring" this out.

We're trapped here.
Damn it!

Okay. Getting angry's
not gonna help.

It wouldn't kill you
to get angry once in a while.

It feels good.

I mean, show some emotion
for once in your life, joanna.

What the hell's that
supposed to mean?

I overheard wendy saying
something about victor.

I know he died, but you
haven't mentioned him once.

I am not doing
this right now.

Oh, that's right.

Yeah, walk away when
things get too real,

Just like you always do.

Oh, just because
I'm not doing

What you want me
to do, or feeling

What you want
me to feel?
No, no, no.

This is about letting
yourself feel.

You told me that
my intensity scared you?

That's bullshit.

Your intensity
scares you.

You run away from anyone
who makes you feel things.

That's why you ran
away from me,

And that's why
you're still running.

I'm not doing this.

I made you happy, joanna!

And that scared you.

So you pushed me
out of your life,

Because you'd rather
be numb inside

Than risk getting hurt.

You think I'm numb?

My whole life is pain.

I love my girls more
than anything else,

And I have to watch them
die again and again.

And it doesn't get easier.
It gets worse.

I'm cursed, alex.
Can't you just understand that?

I know you're cursed.

I don't care.
I never did!

Because you never
had to see it.

You never had to
live through it,

Because I kept you from it.

It was never about you not being
strong enough to handle it.

I didn't want you to have
to share in my suffering

And I didn't want you
to have to see it.

I pushed you away
because I loved you.

So you killed what we had

Because you thought
you were protecting me?

I know I was.

All this time,
I thought you hurt me.

But you know what, joanna?

You hurt yourself.

Okay, it says we have to boil
the baby's breath in the oil.

And if this doesn't work,
we can't kill it?

We'll figure something else out.

It'll work. It has to.

Light the feathers on fire;
we need the ash.

Oh, no.

What?
Freya didn't text
the last page.

We can't finish the spell
without the last page.
Do you think

She's all right?
She damn well better
be all right,

So I can kill her
when she gets back.

Don't pull out the knives
just yet.

I'll kill you later.

Sweetie, you look like
you've been through hell.

Hell would have been
a lot more pleasant.

Please tell me you got
a look at the last page.

Even better.
Hey, guys.

Dash:
How can I help?

Last person I
expected to see.
Well, we had a little, uh...

Issue-- with some
mandragora venom.
That's right!

He attacked you!
It's all right.

I managed to break the spell.
She stabbed me

In the brain.
They got me, too--
right through the ear.

Hurts, right? Oh, god.
Like a mother!
Oh, I'm so glad

You're okay.

Guys, we need to get
back to the spell.

(yells, groans)

What's wrong?
It's a mandragora.

He's here.
I can feel it.

You okay?

Ingrid:
He's coming for me.

He'll never let you
take me from him.

(panting)

You are running
me ragged.

Sorry.

No, no... In the best
possible way.

(exhales)

What are you doing?

Shh.

Ow! Aah.

That hurts.
That's part
of the fun.

(exhales)

Better?

Okay. Now close your eyes.

♪

(whispering)

(panting quietly)

(moans)

Can you guess

What I'm thinking right now?

No. No, I really can't.

There's still a lot
I don't know about you.

Good.

Let's go another round.

(grunts in pain)
wendy:
Hold her still.

Right.

To the spirits
above and below,

Free this soul
from her unnatural bond.

Vinculum abrumperes.

Ingrid:
He's here.

He's come for me.

Vinculum abrumperes. Ah...

(rumbling, clattering)
what the hell was that?

Wendy: Either the biggest
squirrel on earth, or...

The mandragora.

Okay, cover her entire body

With this oil.

And then what?

Okay, this is gonna
sound terrible.

Don't freak out.

Oh, god.

We need to set
her on fire.

Are you kidding?
Ingrid:
What?! Why?

According to the spell,
if you move at all

You'll be burned, but if
you stay completely still,

The fire will consume the oil
and disappear-- along with your

Connection to it.
What if I can't stay
perfectly still?

You better.

Can I breathe?

Try not to.

As soon as the oil
is gone,

The symbiosis
will be fully broken,

And we can finally kill
the sucker.

(rumbling, scraping, banging)

Okay.
Wendy:
Where are you going?

I'm gonna deal with that damn
thing once and for all.

No, you're not.

Stay here.
You still don't trust me.

Even at a time like this.

Especially at a time like this.

Finish coating her--
I'll stall it

For as long as I can.

Seriously? A broom?

Till the spell's broken
and ingrid's free,

That's all I'm willing to risk.

(grunts)

(gasps)

(grunting)

(screams)

Freya:
Hunc dimittis...

Animae.

Hunc dimittis...

Animae.

Dimittis.

(pants)

(pants)

(low, deep whirring)

(gasps)

Come on.

Are you okay?

Yeah.

I think so.
I think it worked.

(relieved sigh)
I can't sense him.

I don't... I don't feel
the connection anymore.
Oh, thank god.

We did it!

(mandragora growling, snarling)

No!

(mandragora roaring in pain)

(grunts)

Forach deyna!

You saved me.

You sound surprised.

Thank you.

You're welcome, aunt wendy.

Did you feel that?

I did.

The mandragora must be dead.

Its venom's not working
on us anymore.

Oh, my god. Ingrid.

Llena me con tu virilidad.

Has de mi una madre.

(whispers):
You're going to give me a baby.

How is she?
She's asleep.
She needs it.

She's been through a lot.
Yeah.

Thank you...

For saving wendy...

And mom, with the argenteum.

You're two for two.

I'm sorry I let the zurkas
color my view of you.

That wasn't fair.

Whatever happened in the past...

You are still my twin,

No matter what.

Thank you, freya.

That means everything to me.

You look like
you could use a beer.

We all could.

Hey, mom.
Hey.

Where's ingrid?

She's fine.
She's resting.
Okay.

I must go see her.
She's okay.

She's asleep.

You should've
seen your son.

He killed the mandragora.

Seriously?

Yeah.
Kinda.

"kinda"?

So we're all finally safe
from that thing.

Nightmare over.

Can we finally have a
boring Sunday, please?

Yes. Cheers to that.
Cheers to that.

Freya: You just gonna leave
without saying good-bye?

I-I...

I just didn't want to intrude.

I should go.
Do you remember
what you said to me

When you were...

Well, basically
trying to kill me?

I know I said horrible things.
Yeah.

You did.

Freya...

If you say you
didn't sleep with killian

While you were with me...

Then I believe you.

Good.
And look,
for what it's worth...

Those things
I said about your job

And your family...
I didn't mean it.

I was always proud
to be with you.

Thanks.

Yeah.

Just one more thing.

You had said something...

About doing bad things.

What?
You had said that

I had no idea what
you were capable of,

And that you had done things
that would make me shudder.

Freya...

I was under a spell.

I mean, I was literally insane.

I-I didn't mean a word
of anything I said.

It's okay--
I'll show myself out.

Hey.

I figured we could
both use one of these.

Joanna...

Do you have to leave so soon?
The mandragora's gone,

Your family's safe,

And I have a life
to get back to in new york.

But we should talk.

So talk.

I know I screwed it up
all those years ago.

And you were right--
I didn't just hurt you,

I... I hurt myself.

(chuckles): Seeing you again,
it's... It's made me realize

We really did have
a good thing.

(laughs softly)

I know I can be
closed off, alex.

I've missed you, very much.

I've missed you, too.

More than you know.

(wry laugh)

But you hurt me, joanna.
Yeah, I...

I understand-- I screwed it up.

You were right to leave.

I just... I want you to know

How much you've meant to me.

And I am so sorry
that I hurt you.

I think the fact that
you were even just willing

To come back here and...

Help after the way
I left things, it just...

Says so much
about who you are.

It...

You still talk too much.

We really did have
a good thing.

Don't forget that.

Oh...

(grunting)

I'm sorry.

I know I let you down.

I'll find another way.

I promise, grandfather.
I promise.
