Midnight, Texas (2017) s02e03 Episode Script

1 Previously on "Midnight Texas" Never thought I'd need it again.
Do not step foot in Midnight.
I have my eyes on her.
I feel your every emotion as if it were my own.
Then I don't know what to do.
- [METAL CLANGS.]
- [GASPS.]
So you're saying that our sex life - is causing me to have random accidents? - Yes.
I can cure her.
I can take the vampire out.
That's impossible.
The hunger is gone.
He can make supernaturals human again.
The Rev didn't want to hurt anyone.
It's okay now.
No, it's not.
I know what I did.
I will avenge you.
There are secrets behind the woods.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC.]
[WHIRRING.]
[CLATTERING.]
You okay, darling? [PANTING.]
I see you found Kai's ancestor.
I know things in this town can get seriously weird, but a severed head in a birdcage? It's not what you think.
I think it knocked me on my ass is what I think.
Because it's a very powerful relic.
It's where Kai gets all of his juju from, that's all.
Oh? That's all? What were you even doing in here? Carolyn's parting words to me were "there are secrets behind the woods," so I thought of the painting, I snuck in, and, well, here we are.
Here we are.
I shouldn't have snooped.
It's just Hard to trust the newcomers.
[CHUCKLES.]
Something like that.
Look, we just want to be good neighbors.
Establish trust.
We want that too.
All right, now next time you're curious about something, just ask me.
Come here.
[CHUCKLES.]
Ow.
Oh, uh, hold on, my bracelet's caught.
Just move a little to the left.
Oh, um, your left.
[LAUGHS.]
Okay, got it.
Sorry about that.
I think it's best we go.
[CHUCKLES.]
[LAID-BACK COUNTRY ROCK MUSIC.]
[RAVEENA'S "NO BETTER".]
Bits of you, brushing off On my smile, on my scars Best friends for some time Now it's like you read my mind Can't really spend all this time explaining [MOANING.]
But honey look at this movie That we're making Hey cowboy, Fiji's got her hands full and it's feeding time.
Ahh, son of a Ah.
Useless dummy.
[GROANS.]
[CRASH.]
Bobo.
Oh, my God.
Are you okay? [BOBO GROANING.]
How's the leg feeling? 32 stitches later, I feel as good as new.
I am fine, Fij, really.
I thought having sex was putting you in danger, but apparently we can't even think about it.
I wasn't thinking about sex.
I was just taking a shower.
Maybe you weren't.
Wait While I was in the shower you were The view from the bed was Very hot.
Mmm.
Tell me more.
Stop it, stop it.
You've gotta keep your thoughts clean.
Seriously, Bobo.
The doctor said that glass just barely missed your femoral artery.
What if it wasn't an accident? I mean, you could have died.
Yeah, but I didn't.
I know.
But I think the safest thing is for us to stay apart until I figure out what's going on.
So Kai can really do that? Take the super out of supernaturals? - Yep, pretty much.
- How? Well, it seems he has the power to remove negative energy, whether it causes blindness or cancer or vampirism.
So basically he's making monsters human again.
- Well, sounds shady to me.
- Why? Kai's an energy healer.
What's the problem? The problem is, he's way more powerful than we thought.
Give me all the caffeine you got.
And we heard about your rough night with the vamps.
Yeah.
Well, it's the one I'm married to giving me a headache.
- They tell you about Kai? - Mm-hmm.
And if he wants to take the monster out of Midnighters, I say we run his ass out of town.
Well, he saved our asses twice now.
First with Manfred and then last night with Dawnette.
Well, you know what my mother used to say? "You are who you are.
" Changing that is like messing with your DNA.
It's unnatural.
I feel the love, Madonna, but you don't know what it's like to be a freak.
To be a total outsider.
Really, honey? I'm a black woman in Texas.
All I'm saying is I wouldn't mind having the demon ripped out of me.
Especially on a night like tonight.
- Hunter's Moon.
- Yep.
Angels and demons can't be cured.
Ah, I wouldn't want you to change anyway.
I love you just the way you are.
I know we're all divided on this but given the opportunity, do we throw it off, or do we have faith that we can carry the burden given us? [CHANTING QUIETLY.]
Come on, sisters.
I need you to try a little harder.
[CHANTING CONTINUES.]
Why don't we hold hands? Good.
I can feel the energy.
I need you to awaken your inner witch.
Fiji.
Not now.
What is going on? [CHANTING CONTINUES.]
What is this? I daisy-chained my Wicca class to draw on their combined strength.
Bobo has been having these deadly near-misses every time we even think about sex.
I need their strength to contact the spirit world and figure out what's going on.
Look, I'm I'm sorry.
I-I don't want anything bad to happen to Bobo but you're playing with fire here.
Yeah, well, I'm desperate.
Well, while you wait to link up to the spiritual hotspot, can you help me? Yeah, sure.
I found a severed head in the hotel.
In a cage.
Wait, what? It's a relic of Kai's One of his ancestors He draws his power from it, or at least that's what Patience said.
But I have my doubts.
He's up to something and it's not good.
Maybe if Kai's up to anything, it's healing people.
What if Patience told you the truth? Well, that's what I want you to find out.
I need you to perform an intention spell.
See if Patience is trustworthy.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC.]
[INHALES DEEPLY.]
Let the light from this flame reveal your true intentions.
Burn the hair.
[CHANTING CONTINUES.]
White smoke.
Patience is trustworthy.
Good.
But I still don't trust Kai.
What's wrong? They stopped chanting.
Maybe they figured out who's hurting Bobo.
[OMINOUS MUSIC.]
I think they did.
Wait, wait, wait! It's my fault? I think this has gone too far.
I need to stop it.
Not yet.
They tapped into something.
I think your daisy chain worked.
I'm gonna take a peek.
It's dark in here.
But wait.
I see something.
[WHISPERS.]
A moment.
- Let go.
Everybody let go.
- Wait, I'm almost there.
I can make out a figure.
She's trying to tell me something.
[GASPING.]
[GURGLING.]
Manfred! [GASPING.]
[SIGHS.]
That's that's good, sisters.
Way to embrace your inner witch.
You mentioned seeing someone a woman.
Who was it? Your Aunt Mildred.
[FOREBODING MUSIC.]
You're doing your furrowed brow thing again.
What's wrong? I was just worried about the Hunter's Moon.
You know, the hotel's brought all types to the area Who knows how it's gonna affect them.
Well, why don't you go keep an eye on things? I don't want to leave you here alone.
I know how hard it's gonna be on you.
Please, go.
You've been real tense lately.
It'll do you good to get out.
Spread your wings.
[CHUCKLES.]
You sure? Yes.
I'm just going to roll up on the couch, binge the new season of "Queer Eye.
" It'll chill me out.
Help keep my little devil locked away.
[POP MUSIC PLAYING DISTANTLY.]
What did she say to you? Just one word.
But it wasn't even English.
"Hexennacht"? It's German.
For Witch Hell.
[SIGHS.]
Well, that explains why it reeked of sulfur.
How did she end up in such a horrible place? I don't know, but she was desperate to talk to you.
I could see it in her eyes.
She must know what's going on with Bobo.
You have to summon Aunt Mildred.
It won't work.
I can only summon a ghost when they're stuck in this realm.
Mildred's moved on and apparently not to the good place.
There must be some way I can talk to her.
That would mean pulling her spirit from Witch Hell into our world.
Let's do it.
I've never tried it before.
It's really, really dangerous.
Manfred, I know this is a huge ask and I would never want you to get hurt, but Bobo is the love of my life.
I cannot lose him.
Then I won't let you.
So you'll do it? Yeah.
But we need to find someplace else to perform the ritual.
Both our homes are inhospitable to the dead.
- Right.
- I gotta do some research.
You don't know how much this means to me.
I do.
The evil in Midnight doomed Creek and me.
And I'm not gonna let that happen to you and Bobo.
I know a Hunter's Moon makes you go extra tiger hulky so I figured we could use the stronger chains.
Smart.
I'll take care of it.
I'll be back tonight to tuck you in.
Maybe you should send Lem.
Oh, I can handle you, pussycat.
I know you can, but I just think maybe tonight I might need his skills to keep me in check.
I'll give him the message.
Hey.
Olivia, I want to thank you for always being there for me.
Yeah.
You're one of us.
[WOMAN ON RADIO.]
No doubt today, November 4th, 2008 is one for the history books.
The election of the first black president is reason to celebrate.
[COUNTRY MUSIC PLAYING.]
[LOW GROWLING.]
[LOW GROWLING.]
Oh, God.
[ROARING.]
[GRUNTING.]
[SCREAMING.]
[EAGLE CRIES.]
[CRYING.]
Please, please, please, please, please forgive me.
God save you, my son.
[SOBBING.]
I'm so sorry.
[CAR DOOR OPENS.]
I didn't think you'd show.
Well, all your textin' wore me down.
Whoa, hey.
You got the wrong idea.
This isn't why I came.
Easy, it was just a diversion.
I was afraid they'd see us and get suspicious.
They're demons from the same nest as the one we took down the night we first met.
That was some rodeo, huh? Why'd they come back? Well, word around town is they're here for payback.
I thought we'd surprise them strike first.
Hunter's Moon, though.
Be more loco than normal.
Well, that's why I brought this.
Now let's go kill some demons.
Let's.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC.]
[RINGTONE CHIMING.]
[BLUES PLAYING OVER RADIO.]
- Hey.
- You okay? No close encounters of the deadly kind, yet.
Good.
Looks like us being apart from each other is working.
Um, Manfred's gonna help me contact Aunt Mildred.
I'm hoping she knows how to fix our problem.
I miss you.
Is that allowed? Should be.
Just as long as you don't think about having sex.
Well, even if we never had sex again, I'd still love you till the day I die.
That's poor choice of words, but, um I love you too.
Let me know what Aunt Mildred says.
- - Keep me posted.
All right? Bye-bye.
- - [DARK MUSIC.]
[LAUGHING.]
- Girl.
- I needed a night out.
I know, I got two more lined up.
Oof! - Cheers.
- Cheers.
Ladies, ladies.
Remember to stay hydrated.
Mezcal, well, it can sneak up on you.
Uh, excuse me, Dad, but we can handle our liquor.
I'm sure you can.
And you know what? Bring us some more salt and limes.
Okay.
[CHUCKLES.]
Oh I was kind of a bitch to him.
But you know what? Whatever.
I'm tired of men thinking they know what's best for me.
Okay, well, it's girl's night, so if you wanna talk, I'm your girl.
All right, look.
It is hard enough being married to a vampire, let alone one that can read your mind.
- Huh? - Oh, yeah, that's a thing now.
Ever since I drank his blood.
Hey, you ever wish Lem wasn't a vampire? I don't know.
I love Lem just the way he is.
But maybe a vampire and a human just aren't meant to be.
Maybe different is what makes you two work.
I look at you and Lem and I see true love.
Now it is different, okay, but it's real.
You know? True love is all that really matters.
- Can't argue with that.
- Hm.
Whatcha gawking at? Wondering why a human became a demon hunter.
Let's just say demons took a lot from me and I've dedicated my life to settling the score.
Well, you're lucky you're still alive.
I used to think demons were make-believe, you know.
Then I came face to face with one.
I knew right then they had to be stopped.
Well, if I'm the first angel you're talking to, you don't know much about demons.
Know enough to stay alive.
You know, I heard rumors about this angel who fought demons living right in my backyard I keep a low profile.
Hung up my wings and stopped fighting demons when I fell in love.
Yeah, how long you been hitched? A long time.
What's he like? He's a peacemaker.
Wouldn't exactly approve of this hunt.
Well, then, I guess it's a good thing I know how to keep a secret.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC.]
Oh, evening, Manfred.
Oh, hey.
Everything okay? Yeah, I just thought I'd ask you out for a drink.
My way of saying thank you for cleansing the hotel last night.
Drinks with you and Kai? No, Kai is on a retreat down south in Tulum.
So it'd just be us.
Well, I I'd love to.
All right.
But I kind of have some other plans.
A friend needs my help.
Well, that's what I admire about you most, Manfred.
You're always there to lend a helping hand.
Rain check then? - Yeah.
- All right.
Is this where you run your business out of? Not as classy as Crystal Desert, but it's all I got for now.
Well, I'm just glad you're close by.
It makes me feel safer.
Hey, mind if I give you a couple business cards to put at the front desk? Might drum up some new customers for me.
Here's an idea; how would you feel about renting a space from the hotel? I mean, I would ask Kai first but I'm sure he wouldn't mind.
Great idea.
All right.
[CHUCKLES.]
Give me a chance to get to know him better too.
All right.
See ya.
You think they saw us tailing them? No way in hell.
What are you doing? It's gonna get messy in there.
All right.
Surprise.
[GROWLING.]
[ALL SHOUTING.]
Ever try to stop a moving train? Send the devil back from where he came Ah, ah, ah Left, left, left, right, left I'm going where I'm going And there ain't no time to rest Left, left, left, right, left When they all fall down, I'll be the only one left - Be careful.
- Never.
Ever try to hold a lightning strike? Tell the thunder that it can't roll Look a hurricane in the eye You can't, you tried, you won't Ah, ah, ah It's a one-way road Ah, ah, ah Now it's time to go Left, left, left, right, left When they all fall down, I'll be the only one left [SHOUTING.]
- Not bad, cowboy.
- Back at you.
I can't go home like this.
Been a long time since I've done this.
- It's your calling.
- Yeah, felt right.
- Looks like you missed it.
- Looks like you missed a spot.
Give me that.
Hey, hey, all right, all right, stop.
I gotta go.
Sure, angel.
See you soon.
Should you really be tending to a plot right now? The moon is rising.
What's going on, Emilio? I'm not the man you think I am.
[CRYING.]
I'm so sorry.
[SOBBING.]
[SOMBER MUSIC.]
Forgive me, Father, for I have sinned.
Didn't think they'd send another holy man to Midnight.
Last one said this town was damned to hell.
He left years ago and if I were you, I'd do the same thing.
Why don't you come in, friend? - Let's talk.
- I'll stay where I am.
I was driving cross country and I saw the steeple from the side of the road.
I figured a man of the cloth could find refuge in the house of God, even if just for one night.
Blood.
I hit a coyote.
It's human blood.
Not yours.
That's why you couldn't enter the holy sanctuary.
You're a vampire.
And it was a full moon last night.
What does that make you? A werewolf? Something like that.
Then you'll fit in here just fine.
Welcome to Midnight, Reverend Sheehan.
Call me Rev.
Father Sheehan was a much better man than I could ever be.
He was a man of real faith.
It filled him with goodness and compassion.
With his last breath, he asked God to save me.
And he did.
He let me become Sheehan.
To repent for the horrors that I committed.
The lives that I've ruined.
I'm so sorry.
That's why I became the Rev.
I read the Bible.
I taught others in accordance to scripture, but I lied to you and to the people that accepted me as family.
Emilio, you have been the soul of this town.
You've given us counsel and you've taught us all to have trust in each other.
That is not a lie.
I wish I could believe that.
You can.
You blessed our weapons that allowed us to beat the demons that were attacking Midnight.
You blessed me.
You made it possible for a vampire to enter this holy place and marry the woman he loves.
I know you weren't ordained as a reverend, but since you came to Midnight you've done God's work.
You are a man of faith.
So this is our threshold to the world of the dead.
[GRUNTS.]
So if I got my research right, the only way to bring Mildred's spirit into our world is to open a doorway to Hexennacht with this ancient incantation.
You get that from your ancestor's journals? Google.
[CHORTLES.]
All right.
But in order for Mildred to cross over, I'll need to take her place in Witch Hell.
There's no other way.
How am I even gonna talk to my Aunt if you're not here to translate? Well, here's the thing, to keep the balance between the living and the dead, I literally have to trade places with her.
Which means she'll be as real as I am when she's here.
All right.
This this means so much to me, Manfred.
I don't know how to thank you.
Thank me by keeping the reunion short.
Because if a witch in Hexennacht so much as touches me, I'll be damned for eternity.
Oh, my goddess, you would never come back.
Hey, [STAMMERING.]
then how do you keep these witches from touching you? They hate light.
- [LAUGHS.]
Yes, you are.
- I'm sorry.
Okay.
[POUNDS ON BAR.]
I would like to make a toast to the nicest guy ever.
[TOGETHER.]
To Bobo! No, wait, wait, wait, wait.
We need more limes.
We need more limes.
- Ow! - Oh! Oh, my God.
I am so sorry.
- You okay? - Yeah.
Uhh, how deep is the cut? It looks like it could get infected.
Here, keep some pressure on this for me, Bobo.
I have a first aid kit in my car.
Okay.
- It's fine.
- I'm so sorry, honey.
You hold on.
Pbbt.
It's just a scratch.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC.]
[DRAMATIC MUSIC.]
[CHANTING.]
Now call for her.
Aunt Mildred, if you're out there, I need your help.
Here goes nothing.
You're a good friend, Manfred.
Thank you.
Whatever you do, don't let them touch you.
Got it covered.
Oh! [RELIEVED LAUGHTER.]
I've missed you so much! Me too, baby.
[EERIE, INDISTINCT WHISPERS.]
What are you doing in Witch Hell? We don't have much time, honey.
Bad things keep happening to Bobo because our family is cursed.
Cursed? By who? Dark witches.
[GROWLING.]
[SCREECHING.]
What the Seriously? Come on.
No.
[HISSING.]
Damn.
[SHRIEKING.]
Hurry! Fiji, hurry! So this has been happening for generations? What did we do to piss off these dark witches? No idea.
It happened 800 years ago.
No [SHRIEKING.]
I promised myself that I would finally break the curse.
There's a way to break the curse? I thought there was.
I turned to black magic.
The kind of dark magic that I warned you about.
It took me down a very dark path.
Fiji, it killed me.
The curse is going to eventually destroy Bobo.
Holy crap.
No.
[GRUNTS.]
[WHISPERING.]
Stay [GASPS.]
[WHISPERING.]
Stay Stay Fiji, wrap it up! [POUNDING ON DOOR.]
- We're running out of time.
- I know.
There just has to be something that we can do to save Bobo.
The only way that I was able to protect the man I love I turned him into a cat.
You mean Mr.
Snuggly? Yes, and it broke my heart.
But if I hadn't, Jedediah would have died.
No, you could have stayed together.
All you had to do was stop having sex.
This curse has nothing to do with sex.
[ALL WHISPERING.]
Stay Fiji! [GRUNTS.]
[BOTH PANTING.]
Please tell me Mildred had an answer for you.
Yeah.
Just not the one I wanted.
I thought the bad things that were happening to Bobo were because of sex.
But that's not it.
It's about love.
As long as Bobo loves me, he's gonna die.
The moon is almost at its highest.
Time to get you to the cellar.
I've made other arrangements.
You're not turning.
I went to see Kai in the morning before he left on his retreat.
He cured me.
Why didn't you tell me earlier? I was afraid I'd betrayed you.
Betrayed everyone here in Midnight.
Of course you didn't.
I just wanted you to understand what I've lived with my whole life.
The guilt.
We all carry our sins with us.
But Xylda changed you so you could live with your curse.
I didn't have that option.
Yeah.
I understand that better than anyone.
Are you ever tempted? To go to Kai? I don't judge you for what you did, but I've made peace with who I am.
Then I hope you'll understand that it's time for me to leave Midnight.
Why? You've changed, but you're still family.
This this is your home.
I have to go.
I've been trapped by this curse my entire life and now that I'm free, I can roam the world without fear of hurting anyone.
- I love you, brother.
- Love you too.
Thank you.
At least wait long enough to say good-bye to the others.
Never been one for good-byes.
So you please give them all my love and tell them I'll see them all again someday.
Keep the faith.
[GENTLE GUITAR MUSIC.]
By the way, what's your real name? Just call me Rev.
[UPBEAT MUSIC.]
[CLIPPERS BUZZING.]
What the hell? I needed a change.
Burning the midnight oil? - [LAUGHS.]
- [DOOR CLOSES.]
Saw the light was on.
Thought I'd check in, see if you're okay.
Well, I am just finding things to put in your new office.
So it's official? Kai agreed with me that we could use our very own ghost whisperer.
Hope I can live up to all the hype.
I just knew the moment I met you that you were special.
No, really, we are lucky to have you here.
Hey, um, I was wondering Um, can Kai remove a witch's curse? Um, why? You in some kind of trouble? No, it's for a friend.
Course.
Well, I'm sorry, Kai's powers don't really work like that.
- Well, that's too bad.
- [RING TONE CHIMING.]
Oh.
Speak of the devil.
Excuse me.
[LAUGHS.]
Hi, darling.
Two more days? Kai, you said You always do this.
Now I suppose they're staying with you too? I gotta go.
[PHONE CLICKS.]
Everything okay? Nothing to get my feathers ruffled about.
Kai Just won't be back tomorrow.
He's staying in Tulum for a few more days.
You know what? That trip was supposed to be a romantic getaway for the two of us, but instead he took Lyric and Sequoia.
[SCOFFS.]
- Hey, you know what? - Hmm? I think you and I should get those drinks.
It's a date.
[KNOCKING.]
Come in.
I came by to check up on you.
I sensed something earlier.
Pbbt.
I'm fine.
Just a couple of drunks playing with knives.
I tried to give you your space.
I don't want to be so overprotective.
Thank you.
It's okay.
True love is all that matters.
The rest We'll figure out.
Come on.
Come to bed.
At least until the sun comes up.
- I'd love to - [LAUGHS.]
But I called everyone to church.
It's Rev.
[SOLEMN MUSIC.]
Please don't slip away 'Cause my heart can't take it Don't let this be the end Don't let this be the end Please don't slip away 'Cause I'll just keep breaking Don't let this be the end Don't let this be the end Dark water's caving in You were the lion I knew Don't know how to pretend 'Cause I'm not bulletproof I can't believe Rev is gone.
Yeah, I miss him already.
So what did Aunt Mildred say? Can she help with our, um, problem? And what does it have to do with having sex? It doesn't have anything to do with having sex.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, that's a good thing.
Right? The reason all this is happening is 'cause you and I aren't meant to be.
You're not the one.
W-what are you saying, Fiji? It's over.
Please don't slip away 'Cause I'll just keep breaking Don't let this be the end Don't let this be the end
