Hex (2004) s02e07 Episode Script

Noir

Whilst Ella is alive, you are not safe.
They've succeeded, haven’t' they? They've taken away your powers.
I've got a mate that works at the local infirmary.
Thanks, Max.
I'm not going to make it.
We've got to tell Leon.
He needs to know what he's up against.
Leon.
Hi! Fairy dust, bitch! What's the story, morning glory? For God's sake, Thelma! You're supposed to be dead.
Good morning, gorgeous! Want to know where I've been? - Not really.
- Well, while you two were playing hide the chip and answer, I've been visiting the enemy.
They got Max.
He's dead.
They tortured him.
It wasn't nice.
Which means it's time to take the war to them.
Come on, Ella, you're not ready for this.
Look, I was thinking you'd like to take a holiday or something, you know? - Just the two of us.
- Not a chance.
I'm going to sell those bastards once and for all, and you two are going to help me! Good morning! You don't need me to tell you how hard it's been in recent weeks.
David is going to be a hard head to follow, but if anyone can do it - ¡Ella! is this man here.
Our new principal.
Thank you, Sir Ralph.
Well, you all know me.
You know my methods.
And you know the minister therein.
- That’s Jez.
- Jez? Don't be afraid to follow your instincts.
If you feel that a student is struggling, then hey, you're probably right.
And that's the time to get involved, while you can still make a difference.
Gail.
I just wondered if we had any news on Ella Dee? Nothing, I'm afraid.
She's the one that got away.
But wherever she is-- Someone's coming! We'll be safe in here.
No one uses it.
You worked out what you're going to say yet? I'll think of something.
Tell him you're a useless jerk.
He'll believe you.
I would.
The first thing he'll ask is where you are.
OK, tell him I got so freaked out with the whole aging thing, I went away on my own and I didn't say where.
- And you think he'll believe that? - This is Jez.
He needs me out of the way.
You'll just be telling him what he wants to hear.
Go on.
You better get going.
- Where will you be? - Don't worry, I'll be around.
Come here.
I need you on the inside.
Tee.
Go on.
I'll be fine.
And give him hell, tiger! Save me some food, Thelma! I've licked it all! Sorry.
- Hey, Map.
- Here.
Map.
- Can't see.
- Torch.
Yeah, we need to get through here.
You took her out of the psychiatric hospital against her will, as I understand it, and then you took her to the house of a known drug dealer.
- A former student.
- Max Rosen, who promptly disappears.
The police still want a word about that! What can you see? Huh, listen that.
What is it, Jez's office? He wishes.
OK, let's not get carried away here.
Ella's the one I'm concerned about.
But now you're telling us that you've lost her as well.
I mean, help us out here, Leon.
It's not looking great, is it? I know it sounds bad.
I feel bad.
I let her down, you know? She got sick.
She had like a weird skin thing.
Anyway, she didn't want anyone to see her.
She said she knew what it was and I didn't know what to do.
She was in trouble and I wanted to help her.
I honestly thought I was doing the right thing.
Are you telling the truth, Leon, or what you think we want to hear? If I was lying I would've come up with a better story than this.
Hey, what are you doing here? Don't tell me you talked your way back in.
- But of course.
- It's good to see you, mate.
How's Ella? I don't know.
She took off for paths unknown.
Vraiment? It might have been easier if you hadn't grassed us up, though.
Look, That wasn't down to me.
You mean you didn't tell anyone where we were? No! Well, only Roxanne.
You told Roxanne? Look, she's a mate.
She was really worried.
She seemed really worried.
I screw things up for you.
Hey, what's done is done.
It's not your fault.
- What's all this, anyway? - Kendo.
Jez's idea.
Everyone has to do it.
It's supposed to teach us commitment and dedication.
- The way of the samurai.
- Jez.
That guy is so full of shit.
Remiel, is it safe? Leon came back alone.
Ella's ill.
We knew that.
She's gone away by herself.
So yes, I think it's safe.
You think? We're talking about my son! OK, I'm certain.
She may even be dead by now.
- Did you question him? - Yes, as much as I could.
It wasn't easy.
The chairman of the governance was in the room.
For he would give his only son onto the world.
And his son would know him not.
Not him.
Malachi.
My gift to the world.
According to prophecy I will never see him coming to his kingdom.
Today that prophecy came true.
I've been told to leave him.
Told? Told by who? We all have to answer to someone.
Just remember, you answer to me.
And I need to know my son is safe, so get that boy Leon, and start applying pressure.
All mortals have a place, where if the truth would stop the pain, they will give you the truth.
Find that place and take him there.
Wanker.
Now, as you train in kendo, your strength and level of skill will improve, until you are able to attack relentlessly.
Once you have started an attack, you must completely sacrifice yourself to it.
This is called stemi.
Did you get that, Leon? Stemi.
This is the basis for everything you will achieve in kendo.
That is all for today.
You may go.
Leon, obviously you've got some catching up to do, so should we set this afternoon around 5? I'll take you through the basics.
Leon, consider this an important part of the curriculum, so don't be late.
Hey, look who's here.
- That wasn't very friendly.
- Hi.
Look, I'm really sorry, I have to be somewhere.
Don't you want to know how I am? Of course, how are you? - You look a bit pale.
- That's what living rough does for you.
Look, I really have to go, I'm sorry.
Come on, Alex.
While I was there, it was good to know I had friends, you know? People I could rely on.
People I could trust.
What are you saying? That you lied to Tom and grass me up to your boyfriend.
- I did not! - Someone did.
- I was trying to help you.
- Yeah? What about Ella? I don't care about Ella! OK, so I admit it, but it was you I was trying to help.
And you know what? I wish I hadn't bothered.
I don't think you realize this, Leon, but are in serious trouble.
I certainly was by the time you'd finished.
I'm sorry you feel that way.
You've never really known who your real friends are, have you Leon? That's half of your problem.
Come on, Alex.
Alex, we're going! No, sorry.
I've got stuff to do.
So I lied for you.
Ow! Anyway I'll do it.
Ok.
But do you realize that I don't have any friends left now because of us? Did you sink? Come here, I haven't got much time! Everyone is being really horrible to me.
Ignore them! Especially since Leon came back.
Don't you worry about Leon Taylor.
I'll see to him.
How? What are you going to do? - I wouldn't want anything horrible to happen.
- I said I'll see to him.
Keep still.
This bit's good.
Just 'cause he's about to get his rocks off.
- It looks that's work, see?.
- Oh, yeah.
- Hi.
- Hi.
- Is that? - Yeah.
- And is that? - Yeah.
Always nice to look up old friends.
What did you learn at school today, then? That I'm crap at kendo.
Jez wants to put private lessons.
Oh, careful.
He's up to something.
He told the UV cow he was going to see to you.
It's all on tape.
- So, what should I do? - Duh, run away very quickly.
No, no, no, no.
Go to him.
Really.
First, I need your help at delivering Thelma's work to a wider audience.
Yes, Sir Ralph? That special delivery, how did it get here? By hand.
A boy brought it.
Clear my diary, and get me David Tyrel.
Yes, sir.
Sir Ralph, is everything alright? I know you think going to Medenham is beneath you.
But remember, Medenham is just the first step.
When you leave here, I'm forbidden to go with you.
From now on, higher powers will guide you.
I guess what I'm trying to say is I may never see you again.
At least not in this life.
Sorry, did you say something? It wasn't important.
Is there anything else you need? Are you kidding? Let us get on with everything.
When you got to go, you got to go.
And you will.
We need one more call from Remiel.
Come on! That loser.
Why are you wasting your time? What is he going to tell us that we don't already know? - Probably nothing, but I-- - Exactly! Just send him back where he came from.
Dad, he's a screw up looking for some place to happen.
Trust me, I'll be better off without him.
See you out there.
Kendo embodies the samurai, its ideals, dedication and commitment.
We stand one step, one straight distance.
We then bow, like so.
Points the score with the edge of the sword for blows to the head, the right wrist, the breast plate, and with the point of the sword to the front.
Very good, Leon.
With kendo, as in life, it is always a mistake to underestimate your opponent.
Leon, very good.
Who are you? You, bitch! Malachi.
Malachi, Malachi! Malachi, Please! Malachi.
Please! Overcome with grief.
The cleaner who found him.
Poor woman.
Did anyone contact the police? Not yet.
But, you know, it seems pretty clear cut, though.
It may he gets caught making free with a student body, so to speak.
Knows he's been rumbled and can't face the consequences.
But he didn't look too remorsed in that DVD, did he? Listen, I'll call the police.
You speak to the students.
And you speak to that girl, what's her name? Roxanne, her name is Roxanne.
Now, this won't take long.
I know you thought you'd seen the back of me.
Sorry about that.
Hey, would you come in? Please, just find a seat.
Unfortunately I have some rather tragic news to share with you: Father Heriot, Jez Heriot, has been found dead, and I'm afraid it looks as he might have taken his own life.
This is a tragic business.
Now, I think with that, that we reflect upon the good things he brought to Medenham hall.
On a slightly happier note, I'd like to welcome back Ella Dee.
I'm sure we all agree in saying that it's good to see you back here, amongst friends.
Well, that's all for the moment.
It's good to be back.
I'm sorry it's not under happier circumstances.
Thank you.
Roxanne, can we have a word in private? Whenever you're ready.
Ella, who is he? It's him.
He is the one.
He is the messiah of the fallen angels.
So when did this begin? Soon after he arrived.
And there's no way it could be said that you encouraged him anyway? Encouraged him? Look, I had to ask.
If I don't, someone else will.
I'm a school student.
He was a priest, for Christ's sake! It wasn't exactly an equal relationship, was it? No.
No, it wasn't.
I suppose you know there was a video.
That's how we knew.
That's fucking brilliant! Look, I wouldn't worry about it.
The person who sent it was probably just trying to discredit father Heriot.
You probably won't hear anymore about it.
I thought you were my friends.
It was already in here.
We found it.
- I'm sorry, Rox, I just-- - Don´t apologize Tom.
We're not the ones that should be sorry.
Sorry? You look like you've been selling tickets.
Yeah, well, what do you expect? It's disgusting actually and if it weren't for you, none of this would've happened.
What do you mean? This isn't my fault.
I was abused.
I was manipulated.
Yeah, we saw.
Come on, Rox, this is us that you're talking to.
You're alive and he's dead.
Might be better around if you get quiet for a while.
They say it was suicide on account of guilt and remorse.
Guilt and remorse? Hm, as if.
Anyway, at least they bought the suicide bit.
Now you can relax and concentrate on Malachi.
You must be itching to zap him.
That's going to take a bit of thinking.
What's to think about? There he is, messiah of the fallen angels, large as life and tall as ugly.
Yeah, not exactly ugly.
Ella, take the sacred blade of Orokiah and zap the bastard! It's what you're for! I know, I know it.
It's-- - So what's the problem? - It's just That wasn't the first time I'd seen him.
When I was at the gym, sorting Jez out, he was there.
Thelma, he didn't do anything.
In fact, he stopped Jez getting away.
- Then what happened? - Well, next thing I know, he'd gone.
It's not exactly what I was expecting, you know? - You're not having second thoughts, are you? - No but I warn you: this boy's no push-over.
Let's hope he is not the only one.
Easy.
You shouldn't be doing this without someone to support for you.
Are you okay? I'll live.
Oh, don't mention it.
You're lucky I came along.
Is it getting to be a habit? Only if you keep getting into trouble.
But then maybe you aren't really in trouble.
I mean, you seem very nicely toned.
I bet you can handle pretty much anything life throws at you.
Am I right? - I'm Malachi, by the way.
- I know who you are.
Do you have any idea who I am? Catwoman? Mrs.
Incredible.
No Idea, who are you? I'm Ella Dee, last of the anointed ones.
And I'm sworn to kill you.
Ella, it might not be so easy if you keep cramping up.
I don't know what to expect.
I mean, serious relationship, me? I don't think so.
- See you're out.
- I got my last one.
I'm skint.
Pint, please, and whatever these guys are having.
You're kind, thank you! The same again.
Just keep that behind the bar, will you? - I'm Malachi.
- Tom.
- This is Leon.
- Leon, Hi.
I'm going to piss.
Does Thelma always look so desperate? - When she's not eating, yeah.
- Hey, can I get two racinis, please? Thanks.
I've got to say, Leon.
I admire you.
Always so much going begging, everyday must be a real loyalty test.
Yeah.
Well, I took a problem with loyalty.
I'm pleased to hear it.
I know who my friends are.
Max Rosen was a friend of mine.
Ah, right, Max.
Bad business.
Look, Leon, you know our world.
You must do, otherwise you wouldn't be with Ella.
So you know we play by different rules.
He was murdered, tortured-- I know.
Listen, if it's any consolation, I was there.
I helped him.
- How? - Don't ask for details.
I did what I could.
Anyway, Ella levelled the score, and as far as I'm concerned, good luck to her.
What do you want? God! You found the life out of me! So to speak.
- What time is it? - Late.
What are you doing? Scouring my courage to this sticking place.
Right.
Is that you're having second thoughts? No, it's what you do after you have second thoughts.
I'm alright.
I'm good, honest.
Excellent, 'cause you've got a heaven sent opportunity.
- What? - I was in town, Doing what? Window shopping.
And guess who I saw.
- Princess Di.
- That's a thought.
No, Malachi.
With Leon and Tom.
I left them all getting bladdered.
So? So?! Now it's your chance! Wait in his room and when he toddles home, zap him! - While he's bladdered? - Certainly! With your spooky exorcist knife start cleaving.
It's what anointed ones do best.
One, two, three, tequila! The best drink of the world.
I think we should be going.
Yeah, I don't mind to be a bit put out.
It must be hard going out with a 500 year old witch.
It's hard going out with any woman.
People are going to find it strange when you are 25 and she is still 17.
Not thinking that far ahead.
So good she's not stuck at 15, or you could find yourself banged up.
How about a little bet? You see those two over there? If you ask them and they say yes, I'm not interested in anyone else.
You're not going to say no, are you? OK.
Ready? Yes.
The one with the stripy top is definitely worth a go.
Alright, you’ve got a deal there.
It's just a little trick I learnt.
And slightly more fun than telekinesis.
You can say that again.
Where is he? You just dropped by to say hi.
Surely you girls don't live around here.
We'd hardly be drinking here if we didn't.
It's not exactly a destination.
No need to be like that.
I know what you really think.
And what do you do? That's is a question he couldn't possibly answer.
I'm still a student, I'm afraid.
Students of the dark arts.
The bar is closing.
Do you know anywhere we can score? Not anymore.
Ok, I'll try to go.
Total change of air pressure.
I think you better stay here, I'll see what I can do.
You'll take care of him, won't you girls? Yeah, he'll be fine with us.
Don't worry.
Don't do anything we wouldn't do! I needed to see him one last time.
Weak.
Sentimental.
I must be getting old.
We're not free agents, you know that.
The boy's reached a certain age and like you, will stay there until his destiny's fulfilled or another fate intervenes.
Not my concern.
Higher powers have ordered me to hand him over.
You're leaving him? You're going? Just when he needs you the most.
Believe me, it's not my choice.
Malachi is a unique soul, a free spirit unfettered by the past.
Who knows what he might achieve? I think that might be the problem.
Come on, Ella.
Don't give me the part that we've been through too much together.
We've both been faithful to our destinies, and I've never asked anything of you.
Nor I you.
Agreed.
But I'm asking now.
Before you raise your hand against Malachi, think carefully: when you look at him, what do you see? A demon sent to snare me.
Or a perfect fit.
Body and soul.
From the very first moment you saw him.
Let whatever powers you serve guide you to the truth.
Goodbye, Ella.
Ella.
Baby, you do waited up for me.
You didn't need to do that.
Oh, come on, Leon.
It's late.
Where's Malachi? I don't know.
I left him in town.
I was on a promised land.
And you don't believe me, but I was.
And you know what I said? I want to go home to my Ella.
You have no idea how special that makes me feel.
Kissy kiss.
What was she like? You knew her, I didn't, and now I've lost them both, so who else can I ask? I've nothing to give you.
Cassie was my friend.
She died right there.
In front of the altar.
Trying to save you, God help her.
What I've got is mine.
I need it.
Sorry, nothing to spare.
Were you in love with her? She was the love of my life.
Poor Thelma.
Then she went off and left us both.
She hasn't left me.
Oh, yes, she has.
Sooner or later everyone leaves.
You are just like me: alone and vainly loitering.
- I'm not like you! Maybe.
I guess she didn't love you enough to die for you.
You're right, you're not like me.
You're a sad little dyke getting her rocks off, hanging around girls who can't even see you.
Don't look, just listen: Malachi is a manipulative bastard.
He almost had me going for a second just now, then I woke up and smelled the prophecy.
So finish your breakfast and get to work, or I may have to kill him myself.
I am Ella Dee, last of the anointed ones and I'm sworn to kill him.
I am Ella Dee, last of the anointed ones and I'm sworn to kill him.
I am Ella Dee, last of the anointed ones and I'm sworn to kill him! We have to settle this once and for all.
- Do we? - You know we do.
Oh, fair enough.
Arrogant bastard! I am Ella Dee, last of the anointed ones and I'm- Sworn to kill me, yeah, you said.
Right, let's go.
Whoa, whoa, not here, not like this.
If you're cutting me out, then I've to chose terms.
I do, I checked.
So no special powers, no mambo jambo.
Just you and me, hand to hand.
- What about weapons? - Oh, naturally.
You're going to serenade me to death? This isn't some street raw.
I know you've got a reputation to consider.
Forged by the master swordsman of the king of France.
Whatever.
And we give an alias.
- No armour.
- Oh, bring it on.
Tell me again, why do you let him dictate the terms? Are you crazy? I'm not talking to you.
Ooh, that's cheating! I like it.
Look and learn.
Ella, look, are you sure you're going to be OK? How's the head? - I'll live.
- So will I.
You have to trust me, I know what I'm doing.
Thank God one of us does.
It's the best place you can think of? Well, the priest won't be bothering us, will he? What were you up to? You didn't want to save him? I wanted to know what it's like.
You wake up in the morning and by lunchtime you're murdering a priest and stringing him up in his own church.
That makes my life seem very dull.
Jez was your father's creature.
Did you tell daddy hat you've done? What do you think? Promise to be gentle with me? I mean you've been doing this for like 500 years.
It's my first time.
I am quite good at this.
Do you want to reconsider? Dream on, wanker! That's my girl.
Let's get this over with, so I can string you up and head home.
I'm worried.
I'm going to go over there.
That's not a good idea, Leon.
You're out of your depth.
OK, he is the messiah of the fallen angels and she is the last of the anointed ones.
Does it tell us somewhere who is going to win? I think it could go either way.
We just have to be patient.
- Had enough? - Not a chance.
- You? - Not a chance.
So much for plan A.
So much for plan B.
That really is cheating.
Therefore, take the sacred blade in thy right hand! Dispatch him to the darkness, body and soul.
Isn't that how it goes? This is where you killed my mother, so why don't you finish it? You won't regret it! Coming up on Hex.
I think this isn't funny anymore.
Stop the car! Maya? You just warmed her up to me.
I'm kind of sick of our century.
I feel like trying somebody else's.
