Light as a Feather (2018) s02e15 Episode Script

1 MCKENNA: Previously on Light as a Feather I've been living with Jennie since the day she died.
It's on me now.
Hey, where's Peri Boudreaux? Yeah, that's that's me.
Put your hands where I can see 'em.
Get down.
PERI: There's a town called Canaan.
There's a reverend there.
Have you seen our friend? No, I haven't.
VIOLET: You guys don't actually believe Reverend Full of Shit, do you? ALEX: What do we do? We'll wait for him to leave tonight, break into the church, and see what he's hiding.
These are Isaac's things.
- I'm calling the police.
- Call the cops.
You wanna know who else is gonna be dead if you don't help? All of us.
Whatever demon was inside Margaret was too strong and a curse was unleashed.
VIOLET: Jennie! You said you would leave McKenna alone.
SYLVIA: I'm here to confess to the murder of Sammi Karras.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC.]
ALEX: Why is it that every place we end up in has to be so disturbing? Why can't we end up at a puppy shelter or a vintage shoe warehouse? A few of us look over there, and I can Hey, what's going on? - I'm just - Hey.
Hey.
Hey.
MCKENNA: [BREATHES RAGGEDLY.]
McKenna? MCKENNA: Huh.
Yeah? Oh, you're back.
Thank God.
Back? Oh, Jennie.
She just showed up.
Yeah, it was kind of impressive.
She can do it when I'm awake now? Wait, where are we? We're at the Abbot house.
Come on.
[EERIE MUSIC.]
Thank you.
[WHISPERS.]
Let's go over here.
If I were a teenage girl with secrets TREY: Which, face it, you kind of are.
I wouldn't want anything out in the open.
I'd want to keep it hidden, like in my bedroom.
MCKENNA: Think I just found it.
HENRY: How do you know it's hers? I just do.
This explains a lot.
HENRY: What do you mean? VIOLET: Butterflies.
ALEX: It's the mark of the curse.
When it's time to play the game, we see the butterflies.
It all started with Margaret.
She was obsessed.
ALEX: Not just her.
Looks like she shared this room with one of her sisters.
This just gets creepier and creepier.
Look, it's a black monarch, like the ones I used to see.
Yeah, me too.
[TENDER PIANO MUSIC.]
[EERIE MUSIC.]
[CRICKETS CHIRPING.]
Oh, my God, it's Margaret Abbot.
MARGARET: I have a confession to make.
My sisters and I played this game, but we didn't know it was bad and now I'm the only one left.
- [TAPE CLICKS AND WHIRS.]
- What's happening? Must be jammed or something.
Well, it's probably, like, 30 years old.
MARGARET: I kept on saying that my sister was possessed, but she wasn't, and then when she disappeared, that's when I knew that something was wrong, and then my other sisters started to die.
Last time I saw her was in a dream, at least I think it was a dream.
She said that she wanted to come home and that she was dead and that if I couldn't find her, the only way that I could survive was to play the game again, but I won't.
Until somebody finds her and puts her to rest, there will never, ever be peace again, so please, please, if you're listening to this, [AUDIO GARBLES.]
No, no, no, no, how do you make it stop? How do you make it stop? What do we do now? [SIGHS.]
No.
No.
I have no idea.
- [YELLS.]
- TREY: Hey.
ALEX: Do you do you need help? MCKENNA: No.
I just need a minute.
ALEX: No, it's okay.
Got this.
MCKENNA: [BREATHING HEAVILY.]
The chrysalis, it's getting worse, isn't it? No, it's fine.
I can handle it.
- Just let me look at it.
- No.
What's the point? I mean, Margaret, she was so young, and she she knew that she was gonna die.
That's not gonna happen to us.
You don't know that.
There is so many things that we wanted to do, things that I haven't thought about in months.
[CHUCKLES.]
I mean, do you remember when we wanted to go backpacking in Spain after graduation? We can still do that.
But lately, I've been thinking about France.
Why France? I don't know.
Better cheese? - You don't eat cheese.
- I would in France.
[LAUGHS WEAKLY.]
McKenna, listen to me.
We still have time.
Yeah.
We just don't really know how much.
[OMINOUS MUSIC.]
[ETHEREAL MUSIC.]
There's still one thing I don't get.
Fahey said that Margaret was the first of the Abbot sisters to die, but in the tape, she said all of her sisters were dead.
Well, we all know he has a pretty complicated relationship with the truth, so Maybe a different sister led the game.
TREY: She also said something else that was strange, something like there will be no peace until she is put to rest.
Yeah, I remember something like that.
That sounds familiar.
HENRY: From where? Isaac's sketchbook.
Okay, look.
You see what he wrote under her grave here? TREY: Oh, my God.
What does it mean? VIOLET: I don't know, but if we can find where the Abbots are buried, maybe we can figure this out.
Actually, when we were driving up to the Abbots' farm yesterday, I saw some tombstones.
VIOLET: The sun'll be up in an hour.
Let's go.
They're over here.
ALEX: It's gotta be the Abbots.
It's the whole family.
HENRY: Hey, guys, look at this.
Three of the sisters died within a month of each other in 1988.
VIOLET: Sound familiar? MCKENNA: Oh, this girl, Gretel, she died in 1989.
Here's Margaret.
[EERIE MUSIC.]
HENRY: There's no death date.
No, Fahey said she died from the exorcism.
Wait.
This marker for Gretel has the same birth date as Margaret's.
Oh, my God, they're twins.
VIOLET: So that means that wasn't Margaret in the video but her sister Gretel.
And when she said she saw her sister in a dream That was Margaret telling her how to end the curse.
Until she is laid to rest, there will be no peace.
- Margaret just wants to go home.
- ALEX: So that's it.
We just have to find Margaret and bury her here.
HENRY: But how are we gonna find the body of a girl that's been missing for 30 years? I can think of someone who might know.
- HENRY: Holy shit.
- ALEX: Oh, my God.
Maybe he's just drunk or something.
- HENRY: Uh, I'm afraid not.
- ALEX: Oh, my God, he's dead.
I wonder what happened.
I don't know, heart attack, maybe? We probably freaked him out with our visit last night.
Look at all this stuff.
Wait, these are all notes on Margaret's exorcism causing the curse.
The guilt must have been killing him.
Until it finally did.
ALEX: Think there's something in here that'll help us find Margaret? MCKENNA: I don't know.
There's too much stuff.
We don't have enough time to go through it all.
TREY: Maybe this'll help.
He was obviously taking it somewhere.
HENRY: He could have been going anywhere, though.
MCKENNA: Well, it has to be somewhere in the building.
His car keys are on his desk.
He was taking a flashlight, so A church basement is a good place to hide a body.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC SWELLS.]
I think the stairs are this way.
Whoa, we can't just leave him here, can we? It's okay.
Someone will find him.
Actually, you guys go ahead.
I'm gonna take Sammi's van to the Abbots'.
Wait, you're leaving? Well, someone's gotta start digging that grave so we can bury Margaret as soon as you find her, right? And you will find her.
[INTENSE MUSIC.]
Okay, it doesn't have to be a coffin, just anything with a lock.
ALEX: Oh, my God.
Look at this place.
Careful, there's people in there.
MCKENNA: It's like the worst garage sale ever.
[GASPS.]
I'll take care of McKenna.
You guys go find Margaret.
HENRY: That's our plan? We're just gonna look for a lock that matches that key? Look at all this crap.
That could take forever.
Well, do you have a better idea? HENRY: Okay, fine.
ALEX: What's the number on the key? MCKENNA: [SHUDDERING.]
Um, 80.
Whatever that means.
ALEX: Come on, let's go.
VIOLET: Hey, listen, if you need a rest Violet, you remember what I asked you yesterday, right? - Yeah, why? - I think it's time.
McKenna, your nose.
That's not blood.
What? Oh.
That's the least of our problems.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC.]
[GASPS.]
VIOLET: Oh.
MCKENNA: Henry's right.
There's no way we're gonna find Margaret in time.
I don't care.
I'm not gonna kill you.
You can't ask me to do that.
Alex said the chrysalis was like a virus, and viruses spread.
If this thing opens, the curse is just gonna hurt more people.
- You don't know that.
- I can feel it.
Killing me isn't gonna end the curse, but it may stop the chrysalis from hatching, and it can give you all a better chance to survive.
Please.
There are so many coffins in here.
You can just put me in one, shut the lid, and walk away.
Come on.
It wouldn't be the first time.
That's not funny, and this isn't fair.
This wasn't supposed to be like this.
Yeah, no kidding.
VIOLET: No, McKenna, for the longest time, I felt like my life was over.
I mean, it was over, and then I got this second chance, and I'm sorry I turned you back into this.
VIOLET: No, that's not what I'm talking about.
I didn't think that I would ever have friends again.
[WHISPERS.]
Yeah.
Violet, as my friend, please kill me.
[EERIE MUSIC.]
ALEX: I wonder how Trey's doing.
He didn't respond to my texts.
HENRY: Well, there's probably no service down here.
Get closer to the door.
Yeah.
Nothing.
- Wait.
- [CELL PHONE SWOOPS.]
It just sent.
[CELL PHONE DINGS.]
Oh, God.
No, it can't be.
HENRY: What? What is it? ALEX: I put a search alert on Peri and Sylvia, and I just got this news article.
"Peri Boudreaux, originally questioned "in the death of Sammi Karras, has been released from custody.
" What? Wh how how did that happen? She she literally had Sammi's body in her car.
ALEX: The article says that Sylvia turned herself in and confessed to the whole thing.
Peri's free.
[EERIE MUSIC.]
VIOLET: I can't.
I'm not gonna let you sacrifice yourself, McKenna.
We can fight this.
- What's going on? - Did you find what it goes to? No, no, we have a way bigger problem now.
Peri's been released from jail.
Sylvia confessed to Sammi's murder.
VIOLET: Of course she did.
She could be here anywhere.
[VOICE FADES.]
What are we gonna do? [INSECTS CHATTERING AND FLUTTERING.]
[DISEMBODIED VOICE.]
McKenna.
Did you guys hear that? Hear what? [DISEMBODIED VOICE.]
Down here.
HENRY: What is she doing? ALEX: I think it's the chrysalis.
[OMINOUS MUSIC.]
This is Margaret.
It's her.
Let's go.
[GRUNTING.]
[STICK SNAPS.]
[SCOFFS.]
Shit.
[TENSE MUSIC.]
PERI: Looking for something? [DRAMATIC MUSIC SWELLS.]
You wanna do this? Fine.
Of course, it's not gonna be easy to crush me with a pitchfork.
PERI: Yeah, but it's still gonna hurt.
I know you killed Sammi.
Mm, mm, see, but that's not what Sylvia told the cops.
TREY: No, it was you.
What I don't get is why.
If this is about Violet, why didn't you just confide in us from the start? McKenna, Alex, me, none of us did anything to hurt you.
None of us deserve this.
God knows Sammi didn't.
I didn't mean for it to get to this point, but it's too late.
You all know too much about what I've done, and you think that I don't know that as soon as that curse is lifted that you're gonna try to lock me back up again, hmm? TREY: You're right.
You kill us, and then what? What makes you think Alex is gonna want to be with you? Because I can save her.
She'll never do it.
PERI: Yeah? Maybe I know her better than you think.
[BOTH GRUNTING.]
TREY: [SCREAMS.]
[SCREAMS.]
Don't be so dramatic.
This'll all be over quick TREY: Oh, God! [SCREAMS.]
PERI: As soon as I find something to crush you with.
[GASPS AND SCREAMS.]
[INTENSE MUSIC.]
TREY: Hey, help! I'm in here! Help! Help! [GROANS.]
Help! [GRUNTING.]
HENRY: Emory, we're here! Where are you? VIOLET: We gotta get Margaret in the ground.
ALEX: The van's here, but where's Trey? HENRY: He said he was coming straight here, but something must have happened.
MCKENNA: [GROANING.]
All right, find him.
I'll stay here and dig.
[INTENSE DRAMATIC MUSIC.]
MCKENNA: Here, let me help you.
ALEX: No, save your energy.
It just needs to be deep enough to cover the urn.
[GROANING.]
- Trey! - TREY: No, no, don't come in! - HENRY: What happened? - It's a trap! VIOLET: No, damn it! Wa Was that Peri.
VIOLET: Oh, no.
Alex! Alex, help get us out! HENRY: Come on! You can't do this! VIOLET: Come on.
Come on.
Oh, oh.
TREY: [GROANS.]
[INTENSE MUSIC.]
Mack, hang in there.
It's gonna be okay.
[CELL PHONE RINGS.]
Peri? PERI: I can see you, Alex.
Can you see me? Peri, whatever you're going to do next, please just don't.
Aww, Alex, you know, I would if I could, but that ship has sailed a long time ago.
But it doesn't have to be like this.
Yes, you made mistakes, but there is a way out of this for you if you would just PERI: Enough.
It's getting old, okay? Either with me or against me, your friends have to die.
But why? Look, we are so close to ending this.
Don't you see? Everything you told me in the jail was true: Fahey, the Abbots.
All we have to do is bury Margaret's ashes, and then it'll be over.
Isn't that what you want? If we do this, no family ever has to go through what yours did ever again.
Peri? - [LINE CLICKS.]
- Hello? Hello? VIOLET: Alex, help! MCKENNA: Go.
Alex, they need you.
Go.
[GASPING.]
- [POUNDING ON DOOR.]
