JOANNA Your necklace, it's red. This is your last life. MIKE You should probably move along now. INGRID You didn't have to do that. I can take care of myself. KILLIAN You have nothing to worry about. AMY 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 library. I'm leaving early for London. PENELOPE I'm not your mother. You knew me as Athena. DEAD INGRID Why am I here? PENELOPE Serpens clavem. It's a golden snake. The tail looks like a key. I need you to convince your aunt to give it back. DEAD INGRID This will end if you tell me where the snake is. WENDY It's gone. INGRID She said one is your soul mate, and the other your destroyer? Does that mean one of them is gonna kill you? FREYA It's a metaphor, Ingrid. Tarot cards are tricky that way. INGRID And you think Killian is the destroyer? FREYA Obviously. All this trouble started the night I met him. He's the reason I lost Dash. Damn right he's the destroyer. WOMAN ...what, two minutes, and... INGRID So, what are you gonna do? FREYA 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. INGRID Frey, I'm so sorry. FREYA It's okay. I am not gonna let Killian destroy me I'm gonna trade all this heartbreak for good. Like for that angry couple back there. Watch. WOMAN ...something that's been going on... MAN Look, I'm sorry. Let's not do that again. WOMAN Okay. INGRID What did you just do? FREYA Gave 'em a "Rush of Love," with a twist. INGRID Damn, you're good. FREYA My life may be in shambles, but at least I can make someone else happy. PENELOPE Flore... PENELOPE pulchre. Flore... PENELOPE veneficus. Mm... JOANNA Wendy. WENDY Hey. JOANNA Hey. WENDY What's up? JOANNA I need to show you something, and, uh... I don't want you to get angry with me. WENDY Okay, why would I be angry? The portal key? What the hell! You said that was destroyed. JOANNA I lied. WENDY You lied? I was killed over that key! I'm on my last life now. JOANNA I am so sorry. WENDY You're so sorry! JOANNA You promised me that you were not gonna get angry. WENDY No, I didn't. JOANNA I heard you! WENDY No, I didn't! What are you doing, Joanna? What happened? And why did the shifter think that I stole it? JOANNA I have no idea. I don't know. WENDY Jo... JOANNA Archibald wanted it, for sure. WENDY Yeah? JOANNA 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. WENDY The shifter knows where we live, Joanna. JOANNA Wendy, I messed up. WENDY Yeah, you messed up. You told me that thing was destroyed after we sealed the portal. I believed you. JOANNA I know. And like I said... WENDY You lied. 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 so much better here. JOANNA 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. WENDY I don't feel good about this. INGRID Hey. Sorry I'm late. BARB Hey. Oh, no problem, no problem. So, what happened? Is Freya's wedding off? INGRID Maybe. Probably. Oh, I just wish there was something I could do to help. BARB Well, if it makes you feel better, there's someone else here that you can help. INGRID Do they want to check out a book? BARB Seems like he wants to check you out. INGRID Oh, that's just Mike. BARB That's the guy that saved you in the Civil War aisle? You didn't tell me how cute he was. INGRID You think so? BARB Yeah. INGRID Barb, no, I'm not in the market. BARB Oh, 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. Mm INGRID Hey, Mike. MIKE Ingrid, I am so glad to see you. INGRID What's going on? MIKE I hear you know a lot about the history of East End. INGRID I have studied some, yes. What do you want to know? MIKE 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. INGRID Well, I'm not sure I'm an expert, but I would be happy to help. MIKE Great. KILLIAN Hey. How's Dash's hand? I said hello. FREYA We're out of tequila. I think there's some more upstairs. KILLIAN So what, you're just... not gonna talk to me? FREYA I just did. I said we're out of tequila. KILLIAN How can you be mad at me? None of this is my fault. I didn't tell Dash what happened. FREYA 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... KILLIAN 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. FREYA You did! You destroyed it! KILLIAN You think I want my brother to hate me? You think I want you to hate me? FREYA 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. KILLIAN Hi. Amy... AMY Sorry, I thought I would surprise you at work. Surprise. WENDY 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. JOANNA Would you feel more comfortable if I took care of this without you? WENDY 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. JOANNA We're not getting rid of it, so you can stop looking at me like that. WENDY 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. JOANNA I don't want to talk about Frederick. WENDY You never want to talk about him. I know that you miss him. JOANNA 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... ECHOING WHISPER Wendy, Wendy, Wendy. DIFFERENT ECHOING VOICES Wendy... Wendy... ECHOING WHISPER Wendy... ECHOING WHISPER Wendy... Wendy... JOANNA What did you do?! WENDY It attacked me. Get it off right now. Ow, ow, ow! JOANNA I'm trying. 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. WENDY Okay, I am really, really not in the mood for one of your lectures right now. JOANNA Dimitte serpens. WENDY This snake is a powerful vessel of pure evil. I think we need something a little stronger than off-the-cuff Latin commands! JOANNA Let's try sarcasm; that should help. Let me get the Grimoire. WENDY Joanna. Look. JOANNA Stay right there. I'm getting the book. We'll figure this out. WENDY Hurry. AMY Look, Killian... KILLIAN Oh, God. No good conversation ever started with "Look, Killian..." AMY I really like you. I do. A lot. I have a thing for lost souls. I'm-I'm a sucker for them. But I don't think I'm the one who can find you. KILLIAN If this is because of Freya, I told you... AMY 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. MIKE Okay, what else have you got? INGRID Come on. MIKE Hit me. INGRID You finished those already? MIKE I am an unbelievably fast note-taker. it's quite a skill. BARB Wow. I don't know how many more history books on East End that we have. MIKE I'm actually looking for something more about... the occult. Witchcraft, curses, spirits, that kind of thing. INGRID Why? MIKE 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. INGRID You know, East End is also famous for being one of the best pumpkin growing towns on the Eastern Seaboard. MIKE Hmm. INGRID Hmm. BARB Uh, Ingrid wrote her dissertation about witchcraft. MIKE Interesting. She didn't... mention it to me. INGRID It's not something I usually slip into conversation unless I want to bore someone. BARB She also does witchcraft. INGRID Barb, stop. MIKE No, Barb, continue. INGRID This is stupid. BARB 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. BARB Well, tell that to this thing inside me that makes me throw up every morning. INGRID She's funny. MIKE Sounds like we have a lot more to talk about. INGRID Uh, actually, no. I got a lot of work to do right now. MIKE Well, I'm not going anywhere. INGRID Okay. MIKE So, we can talk later. INGRID Yes. MIKE All right. FREYA Didn't I just see Amy? Where is she? KILLIAN She left. Just broke up with her. FREYA What? Why? KILLIAN Well, I felt like she was interested in something serious and... I'm not. FREYA What are you doing, Killian? KILLIAN What do you mean? FREYA I mean, here. With your life. Why are you even still here? Why be here at all if you're just hurting people? KILLIAN I don't think you're in a position to judge me, Freya. DELIVERY MAN Is there a Freya Beauchamp here? KILLIAN Yeah, just over there. DELIVERY MAN These are for you. FREYA Oh. DELIVERY MAN I just need you to sign. FREYA Thanks. Oh, my... Oh, my God. They're from Dash. KILLIAN You sure about that? No name on the card. FREYA Of course they're from Dash. Who else would they be from? FREYA Oh, my God. Ow. JOANNA Got it. Wendy, don't worry. I have an idea. Wendy? PENELOPE Killian. KILLIAN Hey, Mom. PENELOPE Oh... Are you ready to go? KILLIAN Yeah, sure. Freya. I'm going out on my break. Be back in an hour. FREYA Penelope, it's so nice to see you. PENELOPE Dear, are you all right? You look terrible. FREYA What? KILLIAN Seriously, what's wrong? FREYA What do you mean? KILLIAN Well, for one thing, you keep... swaying. FREYA Oh, I do? PENELOPE You look positively green. Come with me. I'm taking you home. FREYA Oh, I... My shift isn't over. PENELOPE I insist. I'm sure Killian can cover for you. We'll have to take a rain check on our lunch. KILLIAN Yeah, of course. No problem. FREYA But I can't leave work. PENELOPE You can't stay here if you're getting sick. Now come on, dear. PENELOPE I promise to take very good care of you. FREYA Okay. JOANNA Hey. You okay? WENDY Yeah. JOANNA 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. WENDY I don't think that'll be necessary. JOANNA Wendy? WENDY This key is the answer to our problems. We can use it to go back home. JOANNA Wendy, stop. The venom's getting to you. We just talked about it. We can't go back. WENDY Maybe it's safe by now. JOANNA Look at me. It'll never be safe. That's why I haven't used the serpent. WENDY Maybe you're wrong. JOANNA You know we didn't leave by choice. Our father banished us to this world when he came into power. No! WENDY But... JOANNA No. He said if we ever returned to Asgard, he will kill us. WENDY But maybe he's changed. JOANNA He hasn't changed. WENDY 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. JOANNA Wendy, please listen, I need you to focus. WENDY If I could just get to the portal... JOANNA No. Absolutely not. If that portal opens, we have no idea what may come through from the other side! JOANNA The snake is seducing you to get what it wants. It only wants to open the portal. WENDY That's all I want. I miss my home. It was better there. JOANNA I miss it, too, Wendy, but it's not the same place anymore. Claude ianuas! WENDY No! WENDY Joanna. Joanna! Aperite! WENDY 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. JOANNA I'm trying to help you. WENDY You can help me by letting me go! JOANNA We have got to get this thing off of you. WENDY Are you kidding me?! WENDY You don't care about me. You didn't speak to me for over a hundred years. I guess 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. JOANNA That is not true. WENDY It's not? You didn't abandon him? JOANNA He refused to come with us. You know that he was turned against me. WENDY 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. JOANNA It broke my heart, Wendy. There's not a day that goes by that I don't regret leaving him there. WENDY What do you think the girls are gonna say when I tell them that you left their brother behind? JOANNA Stop it. WENDY 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? WENDY Ticktock. Ticktock. Ticktock. JOANNA That's enough. WENDY Did I strike a nerve? Liber a vinculis. FREYA I feel worse. What is wrong with me? PENELOPE Drink this tea. It'll help. FREYA I can't feel my arms. PENELOPE Oh, well, let me help. FREYA Dash sent me flowers today. PENELOPE Oh, that's wonderful, dear. That must mean he forgives you. FREYA He's my soul mate. PENELOPE Of course he is. Have some more. FREYA I just feel so sleepy. I'm gonna lay down. PENELOPE Oh, that's good. You sleep. FREYA Mm. PENELOPE Vinum attenuat... ...eam. INGRID Hey. MIKE I'm leaving soon. I promise. It's just... it's so much nicer here than my hotel room. INGRID Take your time. I found one more that might be useful. MIKE Great. INGRID I did not tell you about my dissertation, but you didn't tell me you're a published author. MIKE I can't believe there's a library that actually stocks this. It wasn't exactly a bestseller. INGRID Well, we have it, and I would like for you to sign it for me. MIKE Isn't there some kind of rule about writing in library books? INGRID I won't tell if you don't. Thank you. So, what's it about? MIKE I don't want to spoil it for you, so you'll just have to read it yourself. INGRID Deal. MIKE Thank you, Ingrid, for all of your help. This would be taking so much longer without you. INGRID Even for Super Speed Reader Guy? MIKE Yes, even for him. MIKE So, you have my book. When do I get to read your dissertation? INGRID Oh, no. Mm. That is not happening. I never even finished it. MIKE Why not? INGRID I-I realized that an academic study of witchcraft was kind of ridiculous. MIKE Ah, so you don't believe in the supernatural. INGRID No. Mm. I'm a rational skeptic, all the way. MIKE In that case, you probably shouldn't read the book I'm working on, if I ever finish it. INGRID Why not? I like science fiction and fantasy. MIKE It's not fantasy. INGRID Really? MIKE It is about witches, but... I believe witches are real. JOANNA Funny. Where are you, Wendy? You're not going into the portal. WENDY No! JOANNA So, what, are you gonna kill me? Is that the plan? WENDY If I have to. Unless you kill me first. JOANNA You forget, I'm immortal. WENDY But now I know what'll kill you. This is giving me all kinds of good ideas. JOANNA That thing's infecting you. You can't believe what it's telling you. WENDY 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! JOANNA Leave him out of this, Wendy. WENDY 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? JOANNA He left a long time ago. He knows where we are. He chooses to stay away. WENDY 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? MIKE I understand how it sounds I used to be a skeptic, too but I've seen evidence, I've seen convincing evidence... INGRID Evidence can be faked. MIKE 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. INGRID Asgard? This place is a myth. MIKE I think it's real, and I think it's actually connected to this very town. INGRID So you believe there's this other world of magical people who can find their way here. MIKE Well, when you say it in that tone of voice, of course it sounds crazy. INGRID I'm sorry, it's just, it's hard to wrap your head around it. MIKE Look, I'm not saying it's definitely real. I just... hope it is. My father spent his entire adult life looking for it. INGRID Was he a writer, too? MIKE No. An archaeologist. 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. INGRID I'm so sorry. MIKE 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. 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. PENELOPE Potionem... hanc... tollam... viribus... tuis. Dona mihi... ...ero. JOANNA You're starting to really piss me off, Wendy. This ends right now! WENDY 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?! JOANNA Because we're safer here than there. WENDY Not for long. Axicia volant! Ooh, nice reflexes, babe. JOANNA You keep that thing on much longer, you'll never be yourself again. It's been pumping poison into your veins this whole time. WENDY 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? JOANNA Wendy... come on. WENDY Omnia tela volant! JOANNA Axicia... interficiam serpens. MIKE 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. INGRID That is an interesting symbol. What did he think that meant? MIKE 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? PENELOPE Hurry! Get your medical bag! INGRID Well, it sure seems like you have a lot of material for this book of yours. MIKE I know. INGRID I should probably get going. MIKE There's just one more book I need to look at. I'll be right back. INGRID Ostende te. Whoa. Absconde Te. MIKE See anything interesting on there? INGRID No. It, uh... I think you're right, it's just too worn out. MIKE Yeah. PENELOPE What's wrong with her? DASH I can barely feel the pulse. What the hell happened here? PENELOPE I-I don't know. We were having tea, and she just suddenly collapsed. DASH How long ago? PENELOPE I don't know, just... one or two minutes before you got here. Should I call 911? DASH She's in anaphylaxis. Her blood pressure's dropping. Her breathing's labored. I can practically hear her throat closing up. PENELOPE What are you going to do? DASH She needs a shot of epinephrine, now. WENDY Aperio! Aperio! JOANNA Wendy? WENDY Aperio! JOANNA You'll never get out. WENDY Watch me. WENDY So, now you're trapped, too. JOANNA Let me go. WENDY Let me go, and I will. JOANNA No. I can't do that. DASH Well, your blood pressure's normal, so that's good. PENELOPE Oh, thank God. DASH What did you eat today? I mean, what do you think could've caused this? FREYA I don't know. It's just... it's all so foggy. PENELOPE I'm just glad you got here when you did. DASH Yeah, we should probably get you to the hospital, though, just to be safe. FREYA No, no, no, no. I'm okay. Really. PENELOPE You let me know if you need anything, all right? FREYA So, how did you get back from London so fast? DASH I didn't go to the conference. I flew to London, I got off the plane and... I just couldn't do it. FREYA Couldn't do what? DASH I couldn't sit through all those seminars knowing things weren't settled with us. I couldn't have this... an 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. FREYA Oh. Okay. DASH 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. FREYA 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. DASH Just promise you'll never scare me like that again either. FREYA I promise. DASH I love you, Freya. Always. FREYA I love you, too. MIKE Thank you for keeping this place open so late for me. INGRID No problem. This is what counts as rebellious for me. MIKE 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. INGRID 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. MIKE Okay. Ingrid, you're not angry about something, are you? 'Cause I'm sorry if I said something... INGRID No, not at all. I think I'm just tired. Long night. MIKE I get it, and I owe you one. If you decide to finish your dissertation, I'd be more than happy to help. INGRID Good night. MIKE Night. WENDY 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. JOANNA I won't do it. WENDY Okay. Then I'll strangle you WENDY until you pass out and I'll take you through the portal and I'll offer you as a sacrifice. WENDY 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. JOANNA Ianua. WENDY No...! Joanna! JOANNA Dissolvere. Dissolvere. You're okay. This should stop the bleeding. And I'll... I'll heal you later. I just... I'm just going to take a minute. FREYA Will you stop it. I'm fine. DASH Let me do my job. Please. All right. I want to get you to the hospital tomorrow, run some blood tests. FREYA Yes, Doctor. DASH I'm not kidding. FREYA I know. DASH Look, what happened tonight was serious. You know, I almost lost you. FREYA Do you believe in fate? DASH Not really. FREYA Well, I do. I believe certain things are written in the stars. Like us. We're meant to be. DASH I can't wait to call you my wife. But you need to get some rest. I'm gonna take a shower. FREYA Hey, I'm gonna start a fire, okay? DASH Use the matches next to the fireplace. FREYA Luce igne. Uh... matches come toward me. Um... Veniat ad me arca archa. What is...? Wh...? WENDY I'm so sorry for everything I said. JOANNA It wasn't your fault it was the snake. WENDY Yeah, but because of me, you destroyed your only chance to ever see your son again. JOANNA It was either that or let you be a monster forever. WENDY I understand if you hate me. JOANNA It wasn't your fault. You were right, I should have destroyed the key a long time ago. I was just... I was just holding onto the hope that I might see my son again someday. But it wasn't real. It was... It was just a hope and... I mean, I hate to admit it... ...he really is gone. He's gone. WENDY I think about him all the time. I miss him so much. JOANNA So do I. WENDY I'm sorry. INGRID Hey. What the hell happened in here? JOANNA It's nothing. WENDY Long story. JOANNA What about you? How was your day? INGRID Strange. Is there a real place called Asgard? JOANNA I'm going to throw up. INGRID Oh, my God, it's true. And that's where we came from? JOANNA Who told you...? WENDY How did you...? INGRID 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. WENDY Great. Well, that door is locked. Forever. No one is going in or out. JOANNA There have always been mortals trying to prove that myths are real. Don't even humor him. I'd just stay way from him as much as possible, if I were you. INGRID Yeah, I will. FREYA Hey. JOANNA Hey, sweetheart. INGRID Hey. WENDY Hey. FREYA So, Dash is back, and everything seems to be okay. WENDY Good. INGRID That's great. FREYA My powers are gone. INGRID What? PENELOPE Thank you, Freya.
