The Secret Circle s01e19 Episode Script

Crystal

Cassie: Previously on the "Secret Circle" Hi.
I'm Diana.
Pete.
Ship's captain.
How big is your boat? Your boat? I might have exaggerated my position in regards to the boat.
It's not mine.
That's not an exaggeration, it's a lie.
So you do have magic.
But I can't stop all the witch hunters.
The hunters are back? Yes, and they're going to kill all of us.
You're a witch.
If I have as much power as you think I do, do you really want to test it? Each one of your families has its own crystal.
Bound together in their original form, there is no stronger magic.
And there'll be enough to stop Eben and the witch hunters? You're a circle.
Together with the power of 6 crystals, you can destroy them once and for all.
[Music playing.]
[Sighs.]
I can't believe I just rifled my mom's underwear drawer.
No one that old should have that many thongs.
The crystal's never gonna be here.
The elders were trying to keep magic away from our parents.
Well, my grandfather is dead, and I guarantee if he had a crystal, my mom found it.
Ok.
Let's say she had one and was trying to hide it from you.
What's the last thing you'd ever do around here? Heh, I don't know.
Cook, clean.
Bills? A journal? Tied with an actual ribbon.
Hey.
You leave something like this lying around, you're just begging for it to be read.
Doo-doo-doo-doo.
"July 12, 1994.
"I am deeply in love.
"He says my presence chases away the dark like the dawn of every day.
" Ew.
I have to stop.
I just ate.
Your mom and dad were in love.
That's nice.
I don't know about that.
"I told John today that we can't hide our relationship from Tom and Amelia for much longer.
" Wait, Tom's your dad, right? And Amelia was Cassie's mom.
Which means My mom and John Blackwell were secretly hooking up.
La da da da da ♪ da da da da da ♪ da da da da da da ♪ Original Air Date on April 19, 2012 You guys reading stories to each other? How cute.
Yeah, about witches being massacred over the centuries.
There's 200 years just known as the burning times.
Whole towns burned at the stake.
And that was before the witch hunters had demons helping them.
That's why we need to find the It's the only weapon powerful enough to defeat them.
No crystal at my place.
Then we just have Cassie's.
How does it work? My grandmother says the crystal is a lens that magnifies individual power.
So I could destroy this ugly vase all by myself? Let me try.
Faye, drop the crystal! Faye! Don't do that again.
This is not a toy.
Its power can be drained.
So only use it if you have to.
Now, we need to get the rest of the crystals from the elders before the witch hunters attack.
Wouldn't the elders want to stop the witch hunters, too? Can't we just ask them for help? The elders will never trust you.
After the boatyard fire, they stripped your parents of their magic.
When they find out you have it, they'll do the same thing to you, too.
I'm gonna drive out to my granddad's.
If my family has a crystal, it'll be there.
My grandparents are on the other side of the country right now.
My grandmother disappeared after she tried to kill Cassie.
I'm sure I can find a way into my grandmother's place and look around pretty easily.
Don't underestimate the elders.
Go in groups so you can use your circle magic.
Why don't you and I help Melissa? I told Jake I'd go with him.
Well, I call shotgun.
Unless you two were planning a romantic daytrip.
I can help Melissa.
Ok, let's go.
Hey.
Uh, my grandmother called.
She comes home tomorrow.
She does? I'm glad, for both of you.
Heh.
Look, I know you two were never best friends, but it would be nice to see you two getting along.
Well, you know, if I'm gonna be staying here in town, there's a number of people I need to reach out to, and she's definitely one of them.
Thank you.
[Music playing.]
For you.
For giving me a second chance.
You won't regret it.
For the next you're gonna get all truth all the time.
And Pete's letting me borrow the boat for the afternoon, so I'm gonna take you to the San Juan islands for a sunset picnic.
That sounds amazing.
And I can't believe I have to do this, but something came up and I was hoping we could reschedule for tomorrow.
Actually, we're shipping out first thing in the morning.
I'm not sure when we'll be back.
Melissa, hi.
I love the way you say my name.
[Laughs.]
And you're the guy from the boathouse.
- Adam.
- Grant.
Can you excuse us for a second? Sure.
I just bailed on an insanely romantic date he had planned, but can I at least just have an hour? As soon as my grandmother leaves the house, we have to be ready.
It's our best shot to find her crystal.
But do we have to go right now? Well, maybe we can pull it off without the three of us.
Really? So you don't need me at all? Go.
Thank you.
Let's go picnicking.
[Fake Australian accent.]
Well, good day, mate.
That sounded Irish.
Look, grab us a couple coffees, I will meet you up front.
I emailed.
I called.
And you haven't heard from me.
What does that tell you? Sorry about the way I acted at the party.
Couldn't help myself.
Come on, you're a witch.
You know how amazing that is? Yeah, actually, I do.
Why are you here? What do you care? It's ok, Jake.
No, it's not.
He's a bottom feeder who just wants our power.
Our power? You mean he's a witch, too? Just leave us alone, Callum.
You know that I'd never hurt you, all right.
This Ken doll, I mean, he's a different story, huh? You know how much a pint of witch blood goes for on the black market? Stop it! Stop it! Let's just go.
Hello? Grandma! Hi! Ha ha! What? I--I didn't expect you until tomorrow.
And I was gonna clean the house andbuy you flowers, put food in the fridge.
You don't have to worry about me anymore.
I should be taking care of you.
I managed ok.
And Mr.
Meade was really great.
And my father's back.
We came to visit you at the clinic.
Remember? Yes, I do.
Oh.
Look, I know you two haven't had the greatest history.
A real father is someone who raises you, looks after you, not someone who pretends to be dead for 16 years.
But people can change, right? Look, don't get mad, but I asked him to give you a call.
All right.
I will try to get along with him.
For you.
[Laughs.]
That means everything to me.
[Horn honks.]
Oh, um, I have to go.
I mean, I just-- I didn't know that you were gonna be home today and I have this thing.
Go.
Have fun with your friends.
If your father calls, I will invite him for coffee, see if we can't play nice.
I love you, grandma.
Love you, too.
Why is Faye taking so long? Why did you tell Adam you were already going with me when you weren't? It's just Look, it's hard being around him right now.
Why hard? I thought the elixir made you forget you ever had feelings for him.
It did.
Hard's not the right word.
It's just, uh, weird.
Scootch over.
About time.
I was getting snacks.
And you're welcome.
Jake, I got you some jerky 'cause I love saying it.
For you I got healthy, boring, non-fat nut bars 'cause you are what you eat.
Wow.
Your grandmother's got a lot of crystals.
She used to spend de winters in Sedona.
They're really into this stuff there.
Obviously.
[Music playing.]
Jake: My parents always kept him away from us.
They said he was crazy.
How about you knock? What a gentleman.
Lock unlock? [Locks clicking.]
Crazy and paranoid.
Wow.
Just wow.
I guess he's getting worse.
What the hell is all this? It's a conspiracy wall.
A hall of fame conspiracy wall from Salem to Satan and a lot of weird crap in between.
Hey, guys.
You need to take a look at this.
It's us.
Why does he have our birthdays? What does it all mean? That Jake's grandpa is crazy.
No offense.
None taken.
And that we have to find the crystal and get out of here before he comes back and kills us.
Again, no offense.
[Camera clicks.]
[Camera clicks.]
[Camera clicks.]
The last time I saw him was when he crashed my parents' funeral screaming about the end of the world.
My aunt said that after they died he just completely fell apart.
Well, at least he's kept himself busy.
Let's just find the crystal.
Charles.
Do you have a minute? No, I don't.
I've been meaning to come see you to explain.
I came back to town for my daughter.
I just want to do right by her.
You've never done anything for anyone but yourself.
Where have you been, John, while we were picking up the pieces and dealing with the consequences of your actions.
That's unfair.
I told you the witch hunters' truce was a lie.
You told us we could beat them.
We could have, if we stayed united.
United? You summoned demons after we all agreed it was too dangerous.
You betrayed us.
That was a mistake.
I thought it was the only way to kill the hunters.
And then when the mother of my child tried to talk you down from your delusional ego trip, you killed her.
I have no idea what happened to Elizabeth that night.
Don't.
I'm not a teenager anymore and I don't have to listen to your lies.
Charlie, I'm trying to do the right thing here.
Don't push me.
Push you? I'm gonna bury you.
Hmm.
Newspapers are disgusting.
We're never gonna find anything in here.
[Door opens.]
Who the hell are you? Grandpa, it's me, Jake.
That's a lie! Oh, my God.
It's really you.
You have powers.
The three of you.
You did this together.
You're bound.
Yes.
Is your brother part of this, too? Nick's dead.
Oh, no.
No, no, no.
Now it's too late to stop it.
Stop what? The circle.
The circle will be the death of you.
All of you.
You're late.
He'll be here soon.
What about Cassie? She won't be home until tonight.
I'm just finishing carving the symbol for the spell.
I've never seen anything like that.
Malleus maleficarum.
Hammer of the witches.
Tell me what to do.
Once he's seated, the symbol will block his power.
Approach him from behind with the crystal.
That will mobilize him.
How do we kill him? A witch cruet.
Yes.
16 years ago I prepared it for John Blackwell-- his blood and a ring he once wore.
I should have killed him when I had the chance.
I underestimated his hold on Amelia.
On all of you.
Not this time.
from the Salem witch trials.
They split into Two of them stayed east and one went west to Chance Harbor.
- Our families.
- Yes.
But 16 years ago, a Balcoin descendant named John Blackwell tried to corrupt the Chance Harbor circle.
Corrupt them how? He fed them lies, taught them dark magic, and he pushed them to confront the witch hunters.
And they were massacred.
We know.
The other elders wouldn't listen, but I never thought that Blackwell could be outsmarted and so easily killed.
I finally realized that he knew that he could never corrupt and control the circle from the outside.
He needed to control it from within.
What Blackwell really wanted from the circle was children.
What? Did you say "children," as in more than one? Yes.
Enough Balcoin blood to ensure that the next circle would be dark at its very core.
If the two other circles have been turned to darkness like this one has and all three are brought together, it will tip the balance of power in the war between good and evil and our existence will be swallowed by a river of blood.
We shouldn't have come here.
I'm sorry to disturb you, grandpa.
Um, if what you're saying is true, is there any way to protect our circle? Oh, no.
It's too late.
You've been bound.
Your fate is sealed.
What about with crystals? Well, we know that the crystals were divided amongst the elders, so you must have one.
Maybe that can help us.
No.
Absolutely not.
Mine is hidden.
In the wrong hands, the power of a crystal is far too dangerous.
How can you be so sure yours won't get found? Because it's deep in a mine, far from the eyes of man and spelled so that no witch with dark magic can go near it.
That definitely sounds hidden.
Well, it has to be.
The 6 crystals, they form a crystal skull.
The most powerful weapon of destruction ever created.
You're gonna want layers.
It gets cold out there.
[Cell phone rings.]
Uh, I don't want to scare you, but someone put a romantic picture of you and the boathouse waiter onto your phone.
That's Adam.
Um We used to date.
So not a security breach? Phew.
[Laughs.]
We're not dating anymore.
At all.
Good.
That'd make today awkward.
[Laughs.]
[Mouthing words.]
How about some champagne? For the picnic.
The real stuff this time.
Actually, have some chilling on the boat.
Weirdly, I prefer it warm.
So I'll just grab a bottle from here.
I'll give you a hand.
No.
Uh, I mean, thank you, but I got this one.
I'll be right back.
Seriously? Right now? We hit a snag in the plan.
We need to identify the right one.
Why don't you just touch them all and see if magic happens? We did.
Nothing happened.
We think her grandmother spelled the crystal so it couldn't be discovered.
We tried to use circle magic to counter the spell, but the two of us together aren't as powerful as my grandmother is.
We need more of the circle, and you're the only one around.
What's going on? They just needed help for a school project.
A geology project.
It'll just take a minute.
We got confused by all the different kind of quartzes.
Quartzes? I'll be right up, I promise.
You know, I took rocks for jocks senior year.
Maybe I can help.
We're not actually supposed to get outside help.
It's kind of like cheating.
Why don't I just finish with these guys and then meet you at the boat in like 20 minutes? Um, ok.
Sure.
[Sighs.]
Let's do this quickly.
[Static.]
[Vacuum cleaner whirring.]
Great.
Are we good here? I have a dream date to get to.
Good luck.
And sorry.
Ok, I have to show you something.
Your diary? My mom's from when she was our age.
And there is a lot of stuff about your father in there.
Romantic stuff about the two of them together around the time that my mom got knocked up with me.
No way.
Well, you heard what he said about more than one Blackwell child.
That child could be me.
Isaac did once tell me that you weren't the only child of John Blackwell in the circle.
What? Why didn't you say anything? It was Isaac.
I thought it was all part of his manipulation.
[Glass shatters.]
Grandpa: Somebody stole my map.
What map? To the mine.
Where I hid my crystal.
[Motorcycle revs.]
Faye: It's Callum.
We're screwed.
If that lowlife sleezeball gets the crystal, we'll never get it back.
- I got it.
- What? The map Callum stole.
I have it one of the pictures I took of his wall.
I can send it to Adam and Melissa.
They can get there before Callum.
Hey.
I'm sorry about Nick.
Be safe.
I will.
So how exactly did you unlock your dark magic again? Faye, drop it, ok.
My father would never You're not a Blackwell.
What's the matter, scared of someone stealing your dark magic thunder? Fine.
I was on the brink of death when my dark magic kicked in.
Diana's grandmother was burying me alive at the time.
So if you want, I can give her a call and you can test it out.
Let's just get the crystal first, and then we'll see.
[Music playing.]
Sorry about earlier.
Yeah.
That was kind of weird.
I know.
It's just midterms.
My friends are, like, totally stressed out.
You know what's great for stress? Long sails during sunset.
To bad for them they're not you.
Yeah, too bad for them.
[Cell phone chirps.]
No way.
[Sighs.]
Sorry.
I can't believe I'm about to do this.
Please tell me you're kidding.
I'm sorry.
It's I have to deal with-- A geology project emergency? A midterm? A combo? It's Saturday.
It's complicated.
And I can't explain right now.
I came completely clean with you because you wanted trust, and you were right.
But so do it.
What's going on? Tell me.
I can't.
I'm sorry.
Yeah, me, too.
At least when I was lying, it was to be with you more.
You're lying to get away from me.
I'm sorry.
I gave you a day to show me who you really are.
And if you gave me a day when you come back, I will do the same.
I don't know if I'll be coming back.
I'm sorry.
[Owl hoots.]
I don't see Callum's motorcycle.
Are they sure it was him? Yes.
I'm sorry, Melissa.
I guess my taste in guys has hit a new low I never imagined possible.
At least we got here first.
So, where do we go now? Up there.
Melissa: How bad can it be? Adam: Besides old explosives, poison gas, and cave ins, not bad at all.
Look, we're gonna need some light in here.
Focus on those bulbs.
It's not working.
Wait.
Rust.
They were mining for iron ore.
Magic won't work down there.
And this is a dangerous place to be normal.
Wait, what's this? Come on.
Well, thank you, Jane.
I really appreciate the invitation.
As I said on the phone, I'm willing to try for Cassie's sake.
She says that you two have had a chance to spend some time together.
Yes.
It was a little rocky at first, but I, uh, I think that we're finally starting to get, um comfortable with one another.
Everything all right, John? You look a little pale.
Jane, what did you do to me? He can't move now.
Hand me the crystal.
Charles.
Still a ladies' man, I see.
And by that, I mean hiding behind them.
Please allow me.
It would be my distinct honor.
[Blows.]
Not yet.
What are you doing? I never believed my daughter's death was an accident.
I think John knows what really happened.
Listen to me.
Don't lose your focus.
If he did it, he's not gonna tell you, so what's the point? The crystal will help with that.
And I have to know the truth.
Wait.
I think it's here.
No.
Do you hear that? Tell me we're not lost.
Actually, I think this is the place.
It should be right back there.
How deep do you think it is? [Sighs.]
I don't know.
Wait.
What are you doing? Adam.
Adam, what are you doing? What are you doing? You don't even know if that's gonna hold you.
I'll be fine.
Adam, be careful.
[Grunts.]
[Laughs.]
Whoa! Adam! [Grunting.]
Adam.
Ok, let's go.
Hello, darling.
Callum, what are you doing here? I was following your buddy Jake, hoping to collect a little blood, maybe give him a taste of some voodoo revenge.
Then, this amazing, massive opportunity presented itself.
And you know how I'm a sucker for opportunity.
Why don't you toss me that crystal? Don't, Adam.
Come on, baby, don't be selfish.
You've got plenty of magic when you're not deep in an iron mine.
If you know what this crystal is, you know it's useless to you.
See, that's where you're wrong.
Big magic is big money.
And I'm finally gonna have enough to retire to my own voodoo island.
You can come with me if you want.
Your friends don't seem like a lot of laughs.
Callum, put the gun away.
Well, I would, but this guy won't give me the crystal without it.
I mean, I could have shot him and I could have ran out of here already.
I'm trying to show you that I'm not a bad guy.
Uhh! Bad idea, superhero.
Bad idea! Here.
Take it and leave.
Your loss.
I just heard a gunshot from inside the mine.
I think Adam and Melissa are still in there.
Faye: Look, there's Callum.
We've got to stop him.
Wait.
We have to make sure Adam and Melissa are ok.
[Gasps.]
What is it? What is it? My dark magic.
Your grandfather, he spelled the tunnel.
I can't breathe in there.
Go help Faye and Diana.
Ok, here, take the map.
[Engine revs.]
Diana, stay back.
We can stop him with circle magic.
No.
I have to do this alone.
To access my own magic.
What? I need to access my own magic.
What are you talking about? What are you doing? Faye, get--get back! Faye, get out of the way.
Faye! Faye.
What happened? She wouldn't move.
Faye, are you all right? My magic, it didn't work.
I knew nothing about Amelia's death.
I loved her just like you did.
Don't you do dare compare your love for my daughter with mine.
But in the end, she ran away from both of us, didn't she, Jane? Didn't she? The crystal's clear.
If I was lying, it would turn black.
You have your answer.
Maybe he can deflect the crystal's power.
No, he's telling the truth.
It doesn't matter.
It's time for him to die.
We can't kill him.
Of course we can.
For everything he's done.
We have an agreement.
He didn't kill Amelia.
I can't do it.
No, I'll spell him, weaken him.
You don't have enough power.
He'll get free, and he'll come after us.
You're making a mistake, Charles.
Shut up! Charles, put that down.
Listen to her.
You don't really want to do this.
Send you to hell? [Gasps.]
Jane! Jane.
Ahh! I had days alone in this house just remember how much Jane used to despise me.
And finding where she hid the cruet? That was child's play.
And you remade it into her cruet.
Yes.
Ahh! But let's just keep that between us.
And the only reason you're not dead right now is I still have use for you.
[Grunts.]
Callum: Wait! Let me go! Stop! Stop! Stop! Wait! Wait, what are you guys doing? I can't let you hurt the circle.
Look, I swear, I'm never gonna mess with you guys again, any of you.
No, you won't.
No! No! No! No! No! Cibé áit tu air, an aimsir fháistineach tusa.
You've been marked.
If you ever come back to Chance Harbor again, we'll know.
And next time we won't let you go.
[Coughs.]
Where'd you get that? From an old friend.
You have a lot more friends than you let on, don't you? Like my mom.
She wrote all about you.
What did she write? Well, she practiced writing "Dawn Blackwell" about a thousand times.
Let's just say the rest was rated NC-17.
Does she know you read this? Well, I'd like to think she'd show it to me one day when she was ready to tell me the truth about you and her and me.
Heh.
Faye, this is This is a testament to your mother's imagination.
Dawn had a crush on me, but it, it never went beyond that.
It's the truth.
Then I'm not your daughter.
No.
But your father was my friend and he was a very good man.
Did he know how my mom felt about you? He loved your mother.
And he knew that she could be a little obsessed sometimes, but he didn't let it get to him.
He loved her strength and he loved her passion.
And I just wish he would have lived so that he could see you now because he'd be very proud of you.
I guess I should put this back where I found it.
Faye.
You're not alone.
You have your circle.
And I might not be your father, but I'm here, too, ok? [Music playing.]
Hey, there.
Hey.
I got your text.
You ok? I need to take a break from the circle for a little while.
What? I just I feel like I'm suffocating, like the circle is taking over every part of my existence.
You are the circle, Diana.
I mean, you're the one who started it, who guided the rest of us.
Look, I know you like this new guys.
Yeah, I do.
And instead of trying to get to know each other for what should have been the best date ever, I spent the whole time lying and hiding.
I can't be with him and the circle.
It won't work.
Yeah, but you can't just walk away.
Not now.
If we don't work together, then we could get killed.
The circle, our parents, our grandparents.
You know this.
I will see the witch hunter thing through.
And then I'm out.
It's not that simple.
We need each other.
Like today, you barely made it to the mine on time.
Adam and Melissa, they were almost killed in there.
I was there in time.
I heard the gunshot.
I just couldn't get in.
What do you mean? I couldn't get in.
I tried, but when I stepped inside, it felt like my lungs were gonna explode.
I couldn't breathe, I could barely have enough air to gag.
So don't tell me what I did and didn't do.
The mine was spelled.
That's why you couldn't get in.
That's why I couldn't get in.
Oh, my God.
It's true.
What are you talking about? It's you.
What's me? You're the other Blackwell in the circle.
You're my sister.
