Hex (2004) s02e13 Episode Script

The Showdown

Previously on Hex I presume the book or Orokiah has a section on how to deal with grieving ghosts.
I'm sorry I killed Maya.
So you can find a use for me? I should think so.
I'm going to have to bleed you to death.
Looks like we are the only ones left.
END OF DAYS Te only thing we need to worry about now is Ella.
But you're having a laugh, aren’t you? I'd just feel better if she were out of the way.
Jo, do you really thing Ella can touch me now? I think there is only one person we still need to be worried about.
Ella? Why don't you let me help you? Well, call me cynical but I'm kind of suspicious of your motives right now.
Come on, Ella, let me out! You're going to die lonely, you know? And I hope I'm there to watch.
You don't mean that.
No friends, no family.
A completely empty, pointless life.
That's right.
Bury your little head in your books.
You don't belong in the real world, Ella.
And the real world doesn't want you.
Do you think I'm ever going to see my father again? Do you miss him? Is not like he was ever there.
We all have to make our sacrifices, Malachi.
Me more than most, hey? But what'd better be worth it is how "End of Days" thing 'cause it taking up a lot of valuable time.
What would you rather be doing? Sitting on a beach in Thailand sitting on a beach almost anywhere.
I guess we can go after we've finished.
I think the world will be a very different place after today.
Well, is not going to screw up the beaches, is it? Because if it is, you can count me out.
THELMA BATES, IN LOVING MEMORY It serves me right, hugh! You probably don't want to hear this, but the lunatics have definitely taken over the asylum.
Is like some freak cult down there.
You should fit in fine then.
Excuse me, I'm not the nutter behind bars.
- How are you doing with that? - She's failing, just like she does with everything else.
You're really beginning to get on my nerves! Why pick on me? I'm not the one who killed your girlfriend, - Don't start! - dug her corpse out of her grave - Leon! and chopped off her pretty little head.
Enough to knock out a horse.
Do you think somebody will do that for me when I'm gone? You really do care about people, don't you? - I'm learning.
- For who? Isn't that obvious? You know, if you open your heart, God will find you.
It's all about having a little faith, Malachi.
I'd rather put my faith in people.
They've a tendency to let you down.
That speak with the voice of experience.
I've got a flightly compared to Jez.
If I hadn't tempted him, he might still be alive.
Maybe.
This is stupid, you probably don't believe there's a God or a Heaven or a Hell can only go by your own experience.
I guess so.
Right now this is doing me a lot of good.
I would certainly agree with that.
You don't give up, do you? Seek and you shall find, Rox! Seek and you shall find.
- Enough for you? - I'm testing them.
What are you doing? Eating.
- Well, that's a surprise.
- Just ignore him.
You know, I think you're single handedly keeping the pork industry alive.
Rather like you in the porn industry.
No, you know what they say there's no company like your own.
Ella may look 17 but parts of her are starting to show their age.
Right.
Feeding time.
Get your potty chops around this.
Say please.
Thelma, give me the sausage roll or I'll dig up Maya's corpse and stick it in her.
I think we'd better do this sooner, rather than later or I may just have to kill you myself.
Are you coming to the party on Friday? I don't think so.
This is not really my kind of thing anymore.
Has a solid history of people using alcohol to get sex, Rox Gets right back to the Bible: Come, let us make our father drink wine and we will lie with him.
Genesis, chapter 19.
Poor old lot could have a bit more than he bargained for, and I can't promise you anything like that but it should be quite a laugh.
You're taking the piss out of me.
No.
Why would I do that? Aren't you my guardian angel? I'm serious, Rox.
If I left Medenham today you'd be the only person I'd miss.
Alex isn't good for me.
She leads me straying, the rest of them I've lost the plug.
You don't believe me? Let's just say I'm wealthy skeptic.
Please, don't say that.
I need you to believe me.
What else do I got? You're different, you know? You make me feel safe.
Don't you feel the same? You haven't listened to a word I've said? You can't blame a guy for trying.
He's out for the count.
Do you really think this is going to work? It'd better.
Stays like that for much longer, you might say something really nasty.
And you're sure about his biggest fear? It's the same as any other blokes, isn't it? Oh, when you're a servant tuned men Got any better ideas? I hope you right.
If this doesn't work, we are only left with one option.
Here.
Good luck.
I've just had the scariest dream.
Thank God for that.
Why am I in a cage? How did this happen to me? You wanted to be my equal.
It was your deepest desire.
What does that mean? What did I do? What did I do, Ella? I need to know.
You killed Tom.
You thought he was an incubus, but he wasn't.
Malachi wasn't interested in turning Tom he just knew what his deepest desire was.
What? What was Tom deepest desire? You.
He was in love with you.
And you knew this, and you didn't tell me.
- It was too dangerous.
- For who, me or Tom? - Where is he? I want to see him.
- No, Leon, please he's dead, believe me.
If you'd involved me this would never have happened.
Why don't you trust me? Why do you have such a low opinion of me? Sorry.
It's too late.
It's no good you and me we are just going to keep tearing each other apart.
All this time I've trying to change you, trying to make you more human but is never going to work.
All I ever wanted was for you to be honest with me.
You used me like everybody else.
No, Leon, that's not true.
I killed Tom, but you have to accept that was partly because of you.
I do.
I do accept that.
And I know I made you feel like inadequate.
I know that now.
I just want something you can never give me.
I want you to be proud of me.
I want you to love me, like I love you.
- I do.
- No, you don't.
You don't even know what it means.
You've been killing for so long you forgotten what love is.
And you were right all along.
You're better off on your own.
- Good bye, Thelma.
- Leon? Look after her for me, will you? How about a bit of Christian forgiveness? You're forgiven.
You're lying.
What do you want from me? I've made it perfectly clear.
I am not attracted to you.
I do not fancy you.
I'm not going to shag you.
Sorry sorry, it was not my strong point.
Oh, really, Malachi, what is your strong point? Self-flagellation.
No, I'm going to drop to the ground and give you ten.
- It wouldn't impress me.
- 20? Malachi.
Sorry, I'm an idiot.
What more can I say? Maybe you should just leave me alone for a little bit.
I promise it will never happen again.
Just I knew begun for the summer.
And I'll have to spend weeks worrying about how I upset you.
Pease, forgive me.
Or would you rather see me fried of that all hot oil? Luke warm oil.
I'll settle for that.
Are you feeling a bit better now? I'm feeling absolutely fine.
Do you think Leon is really gone for good? We can't worry about Leon now, Thelma.
We've to worry about Malachi.
Well, far be it from me to pass judgement but I don't think we're doing very well.
The whole school is kind of gone: Oh, Malachi.
That's were you're wrong.
You see, the whole school hasn't.
Please tell me this is leading to the words cunning plan, 'cause at the moment I don't see a way of winning this battle.
Thelma, have I let you down before? - You really need to ask that? - Fair point.
You will help me though, yeah? - Of course.
- OK.
In that case, I have a very cunning plan.
You better be ready for me.
This is so exciting! It's all about.
I want you to close your eyes, and don't open them until I say ready.
Alright.
OK, you can open them.
Behold, for it is come to pass.
- Thelma? - No.
- Trainee angel Xenia, at your service.
- What? - Well you get to change your name, you know, always a bit of fun.
My mother was right, I'm going insane.
No, no, no, no, no, don't go.
You have been chosen.
Your recent conversion has not been in vane, my child, God is all seeing.
He sees all.
And he has seen you.
Have you been in heaven Thelma? Of course, where you think you go when you're dead.
I cleaned your bench today.
Oh, that's sweet.
You know, you're not nearly as bitch as you used to be.
Thank you.
And you're really much more attractive.
So, what's God want me to do? - You said I've been chosen.
- Oh, yes.
Look to the setting sun, go East, for it is peaceful there.
Isn't that West? Are you doubting God? Then this, my child, is your task.
Hi.
Mn, I think I was a bit hard on you earlier.
It was wrong to reject you when you so clearly needed my help.
Can I come in? She bought it.
- Oh, yes! I don't know why we didn't think of this before.
That was probably the best ten minutes of my life.
Well, I'm glad you've had the best.
Cause I'm about to have the worst.
Spend too much time in this life worrying about the physical world.
Purpose of meditation is to transcend that physical world and reconnect with the realm beyond the sensory plane.
You're comfortable? Yes.
Good, because it's very important to keep the mind still and the eyes closed.
OK, take a deep breath in Ok now, visualize all the bad thoughts, feelings and actions you've ever had.
You got that? Ok now breath, breath them out.
Breath in with the good breath out with the bad in with the good out with the bad This seems kind of extreme.
And what it something goes wrong? I can't help you, it's not like-- Leon isn't here and he's not coming back so, I'm just going to have to get on with things.
Now, the fire will forge the metal but only I can give it its power back.
It feeds off my pain and fear.
- Offer my courage.
- Or maybe just insanity.
Oh, my God! Oh my God! I used to like sticking my fingers into candles and picking up the hot wax, but I guess this isn't really like that.
It's hot! Sorry.
Never were much good at stuff like that.
Alright, mate.
You have done well my child, this act will be remembered.
I'll live to serve you.
Really? That is all we ask.
It's so beautiful It was caused by the angels when they fell from heaven.
Shall I continue my work with Malachi? Eh, probably best not.
But I really feel there's some good in him, somewhere.
You and the rest of us, sweetheart, but I've seen no evidence so far.
You must stay away from the boy.
As you wish.
There's some people who cannot be saved.
But the Bible says that all who endure till the end will be saved.
Well, sometimes the Bible is just wrong.
Well, not wrong but open to interpretation.
This is all you need to know: Malachi is bad.
God is good.
I know about Malachi.
I know that it wasn't your fault.
Why didn't you tell me? Because I wouldn't have given a shit.
Leon, I was in love with you.
You were never going to feel the same, so what was I expected to say? I'm so sorry I was so caught up with Ella that You have to go back to her, Leon.
- You're kidding.
- She needs you.
No, she doesn't.
That's the whole point, she she doesn't need anyone.
- None of us can go it alone.
Why do you care so much anyway? I think it's sort of obvious that we're not going to be together so you might as well be happy.
Yeah, well sometimes what you think you want aren't necessarily the things that are best for us.
- It would have been good.
- No.
We were good.
Good friends.
Really good friends.
Will I see you again? I don't know, to be honest.
Listen would you do something for me? would you write to my mom occasionally? I've told her loads about you.
She thinks she knows you.
Yeah, of course.
- Does she think? - Oh, no! No, you're just my room mate.
Well, you know what I mean.
I'm going to miss you.
Me too.
Don't do anything I wouldn't do.
It's a big responsibility being an angel.
She believed everything I said.
- You did a good job.
- Thank you.
I still don't understand, though you may have fixed the knife but he is way too strong to kill.
Maybe.
It wasn't always that way.
There was a time when he was weak as a baby.
SPECIAL CARE BABY UNIT You are the one he said would come.
How very sweet of him.
[You've been killing for so long,.]
[you've forgotten what love is.
.]
I'm guessing you missed the baby.
Give me some sheets Rip them up! Thelma.
Oh my God! This is not going to work.
Get me a towel! Ella, what's happening? I made the knife strong, didn't I? I put all of my fear and pain into it.
Well, it definitely worked.
Where are we going? Just get dressed.
How am I supposed to know what to wear, if I don't know where we are going? Just dress as if it is the last night of your life.
It's my own fault.
I kept thinking about Leon.
Don't worry about that now.
What he said about me being heartless.
He didn't mean it.
You kind of have to be to do the job I do.
He's got to me that boy.
I know.
He's very clever.
He's the only one in all these years You understand, don't you? What? You understand why I've lived the life I have? Yeah.
You will tell him? You can tell him yourself.
- Ella! - I'm not angry anymore.
Ella! Ella, you're going to be fine.
What do you think? Gorgeous, as always.
Oh, I need my plug necklace.
So are we going to get something to eat? I'm starving.
Well, there'll be something on the menu, yeah.
Alex, where's the stone? The amber stone? It was here where you're on.
But it's not here now.
Nobody else has been here.
Except Roxanne.
And, what was she doing in here? I thought she was trying to seduce me.
Clearly, I was wrong.
Remember me? You looked a bit better the last time I saw you.
If you've been in a permanent loop through the nine circles of hell you wouldn't look too hot either.
Can I get you a drink? No stomach left, dear boy and no time either.
I'm here to stop you making a grave mistake.
- Jo, you made me jump.
- I'm sorry.
Where are you off to? I'm taking you to the canteen.
Hi, Rox we have been waiting for you.
Strange, isn't it? I had to go through all this somehow what you could have told me all along.
What's that? Love isn't a demon sent to snare me.
If I'd told you, you wouldn’t have believed me.
You can't stop it like that.
I think I tried to deny it.
It gets you in the end.
Oh yes, reaches in and wraps up your heart.
But it isn't a bad think.
No.
Well, not unless the other person doesn't feel the same.
I should have told him.
And now it's too late.
I spent all my time making him feel bad telling him I didn't want him Such a waste.
- He's your perfect fit, isn't he? Body and soul.
I think he knew.
- Really? - Yeah.
You're sweet.
Will you stay with me, Thelma? Of course.
I don't have any family nor I have a friend I don't want to die alone.
So if he has the whole school under his control what next? I mean, what exactly does Malachi want? Apart form a good slap, you mean? He wants to bring about "Yamin Rahim.
" The End of Days.
They are pointed from ancient times and the sons of light should battle against the sons of darkness and the shouts of the mighty multitude and the clamour of God's son met.
Will you have to fight? In whose side? Both as bad as each other.
Besides, I've a feeling I would be of limited use.
I've paid the price for my betrayal.
Well, then you should fight him.
That would solve nothing, Leon.
We're entering dark times, whoever wins I've travelled this cosmos long enough to know that there is only one thing worth fighting for One thing that truly moves people, makes them better than they are and that is love.
You surprised me, Rox I thought you would turn I thought you would eventually give in.
I'm impressed.
So, what now, are you going to force me? What would be the point on that? I'm not exactly short on female company, but we had to test you we had to know for sure that you were truly pure.
And for that, of course, you'll be rewarded.
I don't care what you do to me.
I've seen an angel - I know there's a heaven.
- That's sweet.
What makes you think is filled with people any better than me? God seeks to deny us to confine us to the abyss but we will not be silence anymore.
Long ago, on the shores of Lake Capernaum a man foretold this.
He called it "Yamin Rahim.
" The End of Days.
It's all kicking off down there.
- We better get-- - How am I glad to see you.
What the fuck? I didn't want to The wound is really bad, she is bleeding to death, Leon.
Ella.
Ella, come on.
- Quick, give me some water.
- Water.
It's OK.
I'm here now, you're going to be OK.
We need to cauterize the wound.
- What? - I thought you watched a lot of ER.
We need to burn in the blood vessels.
That will stop the bleeding.
How do we do that? Well, in Star Wars they use a light sabre.
You should be very proud, Roxanne.
Yours will be the sacrifice that starts the job.
Those who endure to the end, will be saved.
The prophecy calls for a pure soul and you have proved yourself pure of heart.
Spilling your blood, is a provocation.
When the life drains from your body, He will listen.
For your are truly his creature and he is a jealous God.
I hope I'm right about this.
I know where I'm going, Malachi and I go there willingly.
A willing sacrifice.
My favourite kind.
-downstairs-- - Thelma, come on! Keep it coming, very good, down a step, the book of Orokiah is bloody heavy.
- Thelma! - I'm coming! I'm the light of this world and he who walks with me walks not in darkness.
Watch her, she truly believes it.
For I'm the light of this world and he who walks with me walks not in darkness.
For I'm the light of this world and he who walks with me not in darkness.
As it was in the beginning shall be evermore world without end.
It was a little dream.
I'm weak.
Guys I hate to interrupt I mean, I know it's the end of the world and everything but do you think I've got time to change first? I'm starting to feel a bit silly.
Why don't you go and do that now? No, actually I think I might stay and watch.
It's not like have not seen it before In fact, you've a lot to thank me for, Leon Taylor one little slip with that knife and I could have put an end to your sex live altogether.
Thank you, Thelma.
It's my pleasure.
God, give me strength.
I think he might have other things on his mind.
