Hex (2004) s02e09 Episode Script

Doomed

Previously in Hex You should look her up, Thelma.
You know how hard it is being a lesbian ghost.
Interesting disguise for an archangel.
I'm kind of sick of our century.
I thought we'd try somebody else's.
At least I can report back that your love life's doing fine.
- And you are? - You can call me Mephistopheles.
So it's really it? I'm really dead? Leon, when she sees you, she will have a complete change of heart.
Morning.
- Hi.
- Hello.
How long have you been there? You're just going to sit there looking at me like that? Ok.
Listen, Leon, the club, last night, how- Doesn't matter how I got there.
I got there.
Next.
You have to do that? No.
Could you do it outside? Certainly.
Look, this is incredibly entertaining, but- What do you think you were doing last night? I think I was trying to get laid.
Were you going to do it? I don't know.
Actually, I think you do know, Ella.
Please.
So, when were you going to tell me? Or you're just going to creep around behind my back when the mood took you.
Leon, it wasn't like that.
It's not like that.
I don't want to hurt you.
But you want to be with him.
This foolishness with the girl, Malachi.
Finish it now.
Yeah? And if I don't? There'll be consequences.
Screw you.
- Hi, Malachi.
- Hi.
Good hair there, Alex.
Great hair there.
I like it.
Go for it.
[Look her up, Thelma.
.]
[You know how hard it is being a lesbian ghost.
.]
Germany between the wars.
Death, misery, loss.
This was the future for Germany and for most of Europe.
But for the time being, under the Weimar republic, there was a fun time to be had.
Sex, drugs, kinky cabaret.
I guess if you lot had the power to time-travel, you'd have yourself a good night out.
There were those who took the moral root, and they often came into conflict with the swingers.
Please.
A lot of the swingers actually fought the Nazis and-- Out! - So you'd go back, for what I see.
- Likewise.
- Well? - Well what? I'd like a sorry for running out, aren't you.
Sorry.
Why did you, as a matter of interest? Hm, didn't fancy it.
- Yeah, you did.
- Oh, I did, did I? Yep.
Then why running out of you? It's about Leon, isn't it? What about Leon? OK: you and Leon.
There is no me and Leon.
No? Since when? Since today.
- Interesting.
- Is it? Leon.
Leon, can I talk to you? Sure.
I just wanted to ask you something.
Yeah? Did you Did you dump me yesterday? Yeah.
Right.
I just wanted to get that straightened out.
Cool.
Consider it straightened.
Ok.
Ok.
You know, I do care for you, Leon.
I know.
As a friend.
As a friend, but more than that.
More than a friend, but less than a boyfriend.
Yes.
No, I- Bloody hell, this isn't going how I though it would.
How did you think it would go? I don't know.
I thought you'd be more upset.
Ella, I dumped you, remember? Yeah, I know, but Come on, it was never going to work.
We're different people.
I'm not immortal, I'm not a warrior of destiny and I don't fancy someone I'm sworn to kill.
It's not my world.
Not even my dimension.
So thanks, but no, thanks.
- Alright.
- Alright.
Do you think on the way to Heaven they confiscate your breasts? Smile? Half a smile? A ghost of a smile? - Where have you been, Thelma? - You know, around.
Couldn't you make it to my funeral? I'm sorry.
I really am.
I haven't been feeling that great, to be honest.
Yeah, well, that makes two of us, then.
You know, I've been thinking I might not see you again, Thelma.
I thought maybe I had done something wrong.
You? You've done nothing wrong.
It's me that It's just I don't know, it's the whole dead lesbian thing it's You got to get a handle on.
Yeah, tell me about it.
Takes a while to get used to.
At least you've had time to get used to it.
Yeah, but the thing is it didn't prepare me.
Prepare you for what? For you.
I I realized that, for the first time, I thought I might be better off dead.
That's a compliment, right? Right.
You know, I think you are the strangest ghost I've ever met.
That's a compliment, right? Right.
I'm glad you came back, Thelma.
Me too.
- You won't leave me again, will you? - Never.
Never.
Till life do us apart.
Sorry to hear about you and Ella.
No big deal.
- No? - No.
That's good.
So, you're the alpha male? - The head on show.
- Tough banana.
You've got it, baby.
See you guys later.
Sorry, do you fancy a rematch? I don't play football.
- What about footsy? - Don't fancy your chances.
- One on one.
- Toe to toe.
- Are you alright there? - Yes, It's nothing I Hi, Ella.
Ooh You've got a bit of a monster grain up there.
Excuse me.
Ouch! Someone has been eating too much chocolate.
I don't even like chocolate.
Here, try this.
It works for me.
So, what's this I hear about you and Leon splitting up? Who told you that? - Malachi.
- Yeah, we split up.
And? And nothing.
Except I think Leon's a great guy and you'd be a fool to lose him.
And I think he still loves you.
- Hello? - What are you doing right now? You know, just thinking.
Thinking, hey? You don't want to do too much of that.
You could end in a rash.
Very funny.
You want to join me for a drink? For health purposes, obviously.
You are many things, Malachi, but good for me is not one of them.
Life would be pretty damn dull if we only did what is good for us, wouldn't it? And dull is one thing you'll never be, Ella.
Now listen, not that you're interested, but right now I'm sat in the dear park watching the world go by.
It's very cool, actually.
You know, if you like that kind of thing.
I'm just missing one thing.
And what's that? The most beautiful girl in the world.
She couldn't make it.
Will I do? You'll do.
And what if I hadn't come? Well, all the more for me.
Cheers.
Cheers.
Nice outfit.
- Look even better off.
- Don't start.
I'm not starting anything, I'm just picking up from where we left up.
But you can't just Ella? Ella? Oy! Ella, are you in there? - Are you OK? - Yeah, just leave me.
I'm fine, OK? I'll see you later.
Ella.
Just leave me alone! Are you alright? Alright, I'll see you later.
Good evening, miss! What is it with the veil, Ella? Are you embarrassed to be seen with me? No! Please, don't tell me that you have converted.
That could proof complicated.
Don't come the comedian with me, Raphael.
Ouch.
Now, let's start again, shall we? Malachi.
Malachi? This is about him.
No, why would Malachi do this to me? He's not doing it to you.
You're doing it to yourself.
I'm what? This is a punishment, Ella.
I have warned you.
You have strayed from the path that destiny has laid for you.
Now you must pay the price.
For not killing Malachi.
For allowing yourself to have feelings for him.
Lustful feelings.
I don't believe.
I don't believe that you're telling me this is some kind of biblical plague.
That is exactly what I'm saying.
Then make it stop.
I couldn't, even if I wanted to.
Only you can stop this, Ella.
You must show discipline.
Vanish these feelings.
Control this shameful lust.
Ella? Looking for someone? Ella.
Have you seen her? - Is something wrong? - Wrong? Why should anything be wrong? You just look a bit, you know I'm just knocked, that's all.
I bet you are.
Captain of the team, pelting up and down that pitch.
Sit down, take a break.
- You know, I should- - Come on.
I won't bite.
Gotcha! Sorry, Alex, I'm a bit bruised from the game.
No problem.
So, tell me, what is going on with Ella? Just a little to- Oh, yeah.
Oh, my God! Yeah, yeah! Wow, wow, wow! Jesus! Wow, it's addictive! It certainly is.
I didn't know I had an exhibition streak.
Imagine if they could see us.
They don't eat pigs if they could.
Oh my God! What? - Thelma, what is it? - It's a it's one hell of a love bite, it's what it is.
Come here you.
You're wasting your time.
That's my business.
You're wasting my time as well.
That's your business.
I can't help, you know? Can only make things worse.
Make what worse exactly? What are you doing to her? I'm doing nothing.
You're doing it to yourselves.
Your desires are an abomination.
The punishment will befit the crime.
She is receiving hers.
You will be receiving yours.
- Is Ella around? - No.
Why? She dumped you already? Well, if you see her, could you give her a message? Yeah.
The message is: I know we're both tired, but I'm ready to go again if you are.
No problem.
Feeling better now? I mean, it's important to cut it out of the system.
When the fuck was the last time you were in my position? What, me? On the course of several millennia let me think never.
But I've had plenty of time to study mankind.
And it seems to me than in certain circumstances the smashing of- - Raphael! - Yes? - I can't do this.
- Yes you can.
No, I'm telling you I can't.
Do you want Ella back, do you? Yes.
Then hung in there.
I told you it would not be easy, but Ella will come round.
- Yeah? - Yeah.
- When? No, come on! I mean, where exactly is your plan going to work? I dumped my girlfriend, she's dating your enemy, and now she's disappeared.
Am I supposed to be impressed?! Leon, Leon, Leon, we've discussed this already.
Ella is a really independent girl.
She will respect you the way you have behaved.
I know that she will.
It proofs you strength.
She needs someone stronger, man, like you.
- I know Ella.
- Do you? - Yeah.
- So where is she? - I'm not sure.
- You're not sure.
She's fine.
Trust me, she will be fine.
- Thelma.
- Surprised to see me? Yeah In a sense.
Quite glad, actually.
- What's the mark on Maya's neck? - Excuse me? - I said- - A mark? What kind of mark? - That kind of mark.
- Like a tattoo? - Like that tattoo! - Ah.
Don't ah me, Malachi.
What does it mean? Malachi.
It means Malachi.
Sorry, I didn't quite catch that.
Well, property of Malachi in Maya's case.
That's just great.
That's just bloody perfect.
And why the hell didn't you tell me this was going to happen? I didn't want to ruin your fun.
Ooh, well it's ruined now, isn't it, you heartless bastard! Hey! Don't blame me.
I don't decide this shit.
The rules of the universe, or something.
So, what am I supposed to do now? It's just a mark, Thelma.
Deal with it.
I have.
Thelma! Ella? Is that you? Over here! - Over where? - Over here! - Here? - Yes.
What are you doing in there? In fact, where is in there? In here! Close the door behind you.
Ella? Hello? What are you doing? Bloody hell, Ella! Bad, is it? Well, I haven't seen in the mirror today.
What happened?! - It's complicated.
- That's a surprise.
Thelma, Thelma, I need things.
- I need water and food.
- Sure, sure.
I can't go outside.
No problem.
Of course! Jesus! Is there anything else I can do? Tell me it's not that bad.
It's not that bad.
- You're lying.
- Yeah.
Malachi, you're blind! Shameful lust! Thought that was my speciality.
What am I going to do? - Avoid Malachi? - Some great advice, Thelma, but what the hell do you think I'm doing in this cellar? - I guess it's not working.
- I guess not.
Jesus Christ, it's like a hive of fucking bees on my face! Don't scratch, Ella.
You'll just make it worse.
Come on.
Now, this might sting a bit.
Ok, a lot.
You've got to forget about him.
You may not want to, but you've got to.
You knew he was trouble, Ella.
You knew shit would happen right from the start.
This isn't Malachi's fault.
Yeah? Would this be happening? if Malachi wasn't here? I don't trust him.
Not one satanic inch of him.
Who knows what he wants! Who knows what he's willing to do to get it! Attractive for a man, I'll admit, but the guy is a scheming poltergeist prick.
- How do you know? - I just know.
Now, close your eyes.
Malachi.
Took a bit of knock to the head, did we? Uh-huh.
And how are we feeling now? - Ok.
- Just running a few checks, alright? - Feel that? - Yes.
It hurt.
Good.
How many fingers? Five.
And now? Two? - Not me.
- Mal case of concussion.
- You'll be fine in the morning.
- You know what? I don't think so.
Come on now! Take it easy.
Get some rest.
Think about a lovely young lady.
Uh! I knew there was a lovely young lady.
- How is he? - He'll be just fine.
- Can I see him? - Of course you can.
Mind you, I'm not sure he'll be able to see you.
Yeah.
Who's there? Hello? Who's that? Ella, is that you? You're not Ella! Who are you? Where is Ella? Fuck! Ella? Ella! Ella! Ella! Lost your contacts? I told you there'd be consequences.
It's a good job.
I can't see you right now.
Just that you're pretty ugly, in case you didn't know.
This attitude isn't very helpful right now.
Oh, what would you prefer? On my knees, blobbing like a baby? That would be just fine.
Oh how about go fuc- This isn't going to stop, you know? Now I'm just guessing I could be wrong about this, but I'm guessing your eyesight is slightly worse today? Or should I say blindness? It's like this, Malachi: forget her, because unless you do, you'll never see her again.
Or anything else, for that matter.
You know what I think? I think you're still an attractive woman, Ella.
Really? Really.
- Freak.
- He's under your skin, isn’t he? - Is that supposed to be a joke? - No, it's not.
Can’t see the need.
You stupid little girl.
You let him into your heart.
There is another in your heart.
A good man.
A better man.
What are you? A seventh day Adventist? You know exactly who I'm talking about.
Leon.
This can all go away.
This can all stop now.
It is your choice.
What's this mark on my neck? - What mark? - The mark on my neck.
I don't know.
Yes, you do.
I mean I don't know what it is.
Yes, you do.
Maya! You haven't mentioned it once.
You've a scarf around your neck.
You haven't mentioned that either.
It's just a scarf, Maya.
It's just a mark.
It looks like a tattoo.
- Ah, you think? - I don't have any tattoos.
At least I didn't.
I like it, I think it's quite- Well, I don't like it.
It wasn't there before and it's here now and I think you know something about it.
Maybe it's a death mark, you know? Like a birth mark, but when you're dead.
It's just a theory.
You tell me what it means, Thelma, or I'll find out myself.
I've got plenty of time.
Please, Maya.
I've got no idea what-- Enjoy the movie.
Fuck! Fuck! Ella? Why does it have to be like this? Why do we have to punished for our feelings? Why can't we just be- Normal? 'Cause we're not normal.
You didn't chose for it to be this way, Ella.
It was chosen for you.
You're not in charge, they are.
Just when you think you found something good, something real, something right, it's taken away.
Has something happened, Thelma? Yeah, something's happened alright.
- Thanks to him.
- Ella! Can you hear me, Ella? Please! I know something's happening to you.
Something terrible! Don't let them do this to us! We can fight this together, Ella, I know we can! You just got to just got to help me! Promise me, Thelma, for my sake and for his sake.
Promise me you won't tell him where I am.
I promise.
You have had some bad breaks, Leon.
But today, is you lucky day.
- Ella.
- She's ready for you.
- I can't get used to it.
- Thelma.
I can't get used to the mark.
I won't get used to the mark.
Thelma, do I look like a give a shit right now? It's going to ruin everything.
Either she'll find out what it means, or I'll tell her what it means and either way it's going to ruin everything.
Go away.
She's important to me, Malachi.
It's doing my head in.
You got me in this situation and you're going to get me out.
Right now, I'd like you to get the hell out of my room.
And I can't even do that.
- I'm serious.
- And I'm blind.
Totally, completely, fucking blind.
So, unless there's something you can do for me, you can take it elsewhere, alright? I can take you to Ella.
Slowly round the corner and down the step, down the step, down the step, down the step, keep it moving down the step, missed the step! Sorry, and down the step, down the step, down the step.
Shit! - What? - Alex.
- Shit! Where? - In a few more meters.
- Left or right then? Hers or yours? Down the step, down the step.
Pause! Malachi, - Whatever it is, you're forgiven.
- Good one! Down the step, down the step, down the step, make right.
It's very good.
She didn't notice a thing.
You look cool, you look smooth, a little bit drunk.
Shut up! Oopsy! You will help me, won't you, Malachi? I will help you, Thelma.
- You'll make the mark go away? - I'll make the mark go away.
- Swear.
- Fuck you! OK! Now turn around.
Keep going, it's at the end.
I'm not hungry.
It's just the hour already.
Afraid I didn't bring any food.
No, no, Malachi! No! - I had to see you.
- No! We mustn’t, we mustn’t! See each other? It's fine.
I went through my side of the bargain.
- I can't see a damn thing.
- You can't see? I'm blind.
- You can't see me? - Nope.
So you should take your hands away from your face.
How do you know I've got my hands on my face? Well, you're afflicted, aren't you, Ella? Something seem to be biblical, my darling.
I'm guessing boils.
I'm hideous, Malachi.
I'm disgusting.
Ella, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
We were warned.
We were warned.
I can't do this anymore.
Neither can I.
And what are we going to do? Right now, I reckon I've got two options.
First: kill you.
I don't believe in that's going to work.
Not really.
And the second? Sleep with you.
No, I prefer the first.
Oh, I go with the second.
But what if they secretly want us to do it? Well, then consider it done.
Malachi, if you could see me now, you wouldn't want to.
But Ella, don't you know? Love is blind.
Do you have any idea what'd happen? Who cares.
Coming up on Hex You're going to spend your life cooking, cleaning and looking after me, so, you don't have to worry about your career.
After I kill Malachi, everything is going to go back to normal.
He dies, I disappear.
But you didn't think about what it would be like with Ella? David sling Goliath.
