Are You Afraid of the Dark (2019) s03e04 Episode Script

Previously on "Are You Afraid of the Dark?"
- What just happened?
- She's out of the mirror.
- It's a diary.
- Lucia what if this belonged to her?
What happened?
He stole Lucia's life.
His ghost should be the one
locked in that prison.
- You're Cutter.
- No, no, Stanley, no!
The ghost in the glass
is our little spy,
So whatever we ask,
you better not lie.
Bella.
Have you ever shoplifted?
No, but in the third grade,
Leo and I stole the nose off Zeebo
the Clown, and never gave it back.
That's kinda funny.
Um, Summer.
Who is your secret crush?
It's Luke McCoy.
Come on.
No, no.
Come on.
You did that.
- I swear it wasn't me.
- Who is it?
- Ferris.
- Ew. No, it's not.
The ghost says you're lying.
OK, well, whatever, because
I know it's you that's moving it.
Anyways, um, Kayla.
What's your biggest fear?
It's OK.
You can tell us.
- She she really doesn't have to.
- That's the game.
What if I don't want to?
Then you have to do the dare.
You have to look in the glass
and see the ghost.
No.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no!
Let me out, please!
Please, let me out!
Kayla?
Who's there?
Bella?

"The Tale of the Other Side"
May we all come to a peaceful end,
and leave our debts to our friends.
All right.
Now, it's time to put Lucia
back in the mirror.
Wait, where's the diary?
No.
No.
No!
Don't be afraid.
It's OK.
It's you?
Hi, Kayla.
How is this possible?
How are you here right now?
How? How?
I think you should come sit down.
No.
You know what?
Because I know what "sit down" means.
Mom told us to sit down
right before she told us.
Gizmo the cat moved to Florida.
You remember that?
I remember.
But he didn't move to Florida.
- Something bad happened to him.
- Kayla.
Please tell me
I didn't move to Florida.
Am I dead?
Only sort of.
How can I be sort of dead?
Technically, you're still alive,
but you're
in the world of the dead, so
Welcome to the other side.
You shouldn't sneak up on people.
Say, have you seen
Ms. King around anywhere?
Well
Can't have you squawking now, can we?
You missed a spot.
Brake is on the left side!
- Guys.
- Hey, you're still alive.
Unless you're a ghost now too.
You know what? That's that's OK. We
love you and accept you just the way you are.
OK, definitely not dead,
but loving the support.
Are you both OK?
That was the most terrifying
thing I've been through.
Graveyard was that scary, huh?
- No, Ferris' driving.
- Did you find Cutter's tomb?
Yeah, but that's it.
The tomb was empty.
- Wait, it was empty?
- No necklace, no bones, no Cutter.
Wait, how? You think
somebody else robbed the grave?
Or maybe it was always empty.
Stanley?
Wait, where's Kayla?
Kayla.
What is this place?
What is this place?
When people pass, they cross over
Cross over.
Cross over to the other side
You know, where their spirits
can be free,
And others refuse to cross over
either because
They're afraid
or have unfinished business
Have unfinished business.
Have unfinished business.
They kind of get stuck,
trapped in a place like this.
Wait, just like Lucia, and now
me? So I'm trapped in room 13?
Yes.
- Wait, she's where?
- Perfectly safe for now.
So the mirror is covered.
The ritual is ready.
But Kayla and I need your help.
She thinks she lost the diary, and
we need it, for the looking glass spell.
No, no, it's OK.
Guys, I remember the spell.
No offense, Bruce Willis, but we simply cannot
trust the memory of a guy who's just recently
remembered he was dead.
We must find the diary.
What are you talking about she lost
the diary? She she gave it to me.
Oh, yes.
Oh, thank god.
Why does the diary even matter?
If we don't have Cutter's necklace, we
can't reverse the spell and save Lucia.
No, but we save ourselves.
Wait, what
What are you saying?
You're here because you're trapped.
Wait, so if I'm trapped, wait, does
that mean that you're trapped too?
No.
You know, thanks to you,
I had an amazing life.
Then I was able to cross over.
And now my spirit's free. Now my spirit's free.
Now my spirit's free.
And I'm only here because you're here.
Bella, when you die, will you become a ghost too?
Why didn't you ever visit me?
You promised me that when you were a ghost
that would come and visit me, but you didn't.
I waited. I never wanted to be alone, and I
waited for you to come, but you never came.
Why did you stop telling stories?
- What?
- The Midnight Society.
After I was gone, you kept telling
stories, and then you just stopped.
How did you know that?
Because I was there,
listening to the stories.
Don't you understand?
I've always been with you, Kayla.
You just couldn't see me.
I know you've been looking for
me, but it's time to live your life.
Don't let me be
your unfinished business.
But promise me a few things.
Keep telling stories.
And quit ghosting your friends, so
you can go look at old photos of me.
You're being a little creepy.
Oh, and I want my hoodie back.
- Wait, what?
- I mean it. Take it off.
- You're being serious?
- I'm being dead serious. Now, give me back my jacket.
So what now?
Now we've gotta say goodbye.
What?
- Am I going to be able to see you again?
- Of course. You're my other half.
I'm just on the other side for now.
If you miss me, just remember
That I'm the girl in the mirror.
I love you, Kayla.
I love you, Bella.
Goodbye, Bella.
Come on, Kayla.
We can't put her back in that mirror!
Yes, we can.
We have the diary.
That's the token we need for the spell.
No, I'm saying we
shouldn't do that. It's wrong!
Well, I'm sorry,
but you came back empty-handed.
And without Cutter's compass,
we can't summon him!
But with that, we can summon her, and
we'll put that thing back into the mirror.
- No, her name is Lucia.
- No, that is not Lucia! That is a monster!
We have to stop her,
Or you, me, and everyone
on this island will die.
- This isn't right.
- Well, it's our only option.
Guys, up here!
I'm up here!
He's lying to you!
Guys, listen!
Listen to me! I'm up
here! Don't listen to him!
Max, are you on board?
We have to.
So it's decided then. We're
putting Lucia back into the mirror.
All right, shake some legs. Come
on, we have no time to waste.
Go.
No. No, no, no, no! Guys!
Wait, where's Kayla?
What?
That's strange.
She was right here. She
must have gone looking for us.
Wait, wait, you guys. Guys,
something doesn't feel right.
Guys!
Guys!
Guys, it's me!
Guys, look in the mirror!
Yeah, if Kayla did leave,
and she's marooned
somewhere in this hotel with that banshee
on the loose, her life is in danger.
- I'll go looking for her.
- I'm coming with you.
Why don't you all go?
I mean, she's your friend.
You can't leave
the poor girl high and dry.
Here, give me the diary.
I'll just see it through.
Wait!
What? You guys. Guys,
we're locked in. I can't
- What?
- It's OK though. You have the key, right? Come on.
- Not for the deadbolt.
- Someone help us. Ferris, get over here.
Look, we'll just deal with that later.
- First, we've got Lucia back into the mirror.
- Wait, what are you doing?
- We're going to summon her in here.
- Why can't we just use this? - No.
No.
You can't trust that.
No, not after Danny Phantom
here shuttered its portal.
Stay far away from that mirror.
The phone.
One, three.
Why would somebody be calling
a room that doesn't exist?
Wait, no, no. You guys.
You guys, that could be Kayla.
Wait! Stop! What are you doing!
What?
Why would you
That was a perfectly
semi-functioning phone.
It's Lucia.
Don't fall for it.
It's just one of Lucia's
tricks. Don't trust them.
No, but that doesn't make any
sense. Lucia's out of the mirror.
- Why would she be calling the room?
- She knows we're here.
She's trying to lure her way in
or lure us out.
Either way, they're both
unpleasant options.
Just help me or be quiet.
No more distractions.
- This is 109.1.
- Turn that off.
Radio for the dimensionally challenged.
Sometimes, you miss the chance
to step over and need guiding.
Yes!
Yes, yes, yes!
What? No. No. No, no, no, no.
What?
Please.
This doesn't make any sense.
- What?
- The song.
No, that's Celine. That's
not weird. It's awesome.
No, that's what doesn't make sense.
I mean, you think some 300-year-old
ghost just happens to be a Celine Stan?
It's time. Give me the diary. If
I give this to you, you promise
to help us reverse that spell
Wait.
Wait. Wait.
OK, Kayla, come on.
- Du hast mein Wort.
- Um
- Well?
No, I'm sorry. We need
to wait for Kayla first.
No, no, no.
Kayla is fine.
We need to wait for Kayla.
- What did you do to her?
- What? Nothing.
- The ghost says you're lying.
- What are you talking about?
- Just give me the bloody diary.
- Where is she?
No, Summer, wait.
What just happened?
No, no.
Guys, guys, Kayla's in trouble.
It's that game, that old game
that Bella used to play, remember?
The ghost in the glass, the one
where it can tell when you're lying.
Uh, yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
Just watch. OK.
I'm talking to Lucia.
- Oh, my gosh. - That means a lie, right?
- Yes.
All right, now I'm talking to Kayla.
- It's truth.
- This. This is Kayla.
Kayla?
Where are you?
Kayla?
Please!
Please, let me out!
- Where are you?
- Let me out!
- Where are you?
- Let me out!
Oh, my God. You
guys. She's in the mirror.
Oh, my God. You
guys. She's in the mirror.
- Wait, wait. How we need to get her out.
- No, we can use the spell, right?
- We can use the spell.
- We need something that belongs to her.
- We don't have anything.
- Wait. I have her ring.
She always lets me borrow her stuff.
- OK, good, good. You ready?
- Wait.
What if you're wrong?
I'm not wrong.
Not this time.
Ready?
Start with the mirror.
Now, the flame.
Knock once.
Knock twice.
Call out her name.
Kayla!
Call out her
- What's wrong with her?
- She's trapped in the mirror just like Lucia was.
How do we save her?
Wait.
You guys, look.
It says Stanley?
Call out her name.
Lucia. - Please.
Please, Cutter.
Come back!
Farewell, my darling.
Stanley
Is
Cutter?
- We we trusted you.
- Get back.
No, no, no, you didn't.
If you had, you never would have
come into room 13 in the first place.
But since you did
I do hope you enjoy
the rest of your stay here
- What're you doing?
- Every last minute of it.
No, no, no, no!
Dude.
You've been at that for almost an hour.
- Yeah, someone's going to find us.
- How?
No one knows we're in here. No
one even knows this room exists.
OK, well, you know what? Moping around
on the floor isn't exactly going to help us either
So I think I'm
going to keep trying to find a way out.
What does it even matter
if we don't have Kayla?
She's trapped in the mirror, remember?
Stanley put her in there,
and we helped him do it.
- What are you doing? - Getting her out.
- Wait, stop. - No!
- We have to break it.
- It's not going to work! Don't you remember?
I tried that. It wasn't Lucia
that came out. It was a monster.
- That's what started this whole mess.
- He's right.
If you break that mirror, you're
not going to bring back Kayla.
You're going to bring back
something else.
So what do we do?
Nothing?
No, there has to be another way.
It has to be a trade.
I mean, we all heard the story.
When Cutter died at sea, Lucia
summoned him in the mirror,
and when she went into
the mirror, he got to come out.
So Kayla only comes out
if somebody else goes back in.
She wasn't even supposed to be here.
What?
I pushed her.
She didn't even want to come to this stupid
island, but I wouldn't take no for an answer.
I'll go in.
No, Leo.
I've been a bad friend
even for leaving her.
No, no, no, if that's the deciding factor,
I'm going to be the one to go in that mirror.
No, you are not going in the mirror.
And you are not going in the mirror.
None of us are going to go into that
mirror because that's that's crazy.
I'll do it.
What?
I'll do it.
Won't even work.
You're a ghost.
So what?
When Lucia and Cutter swapped
places, she was alive, and he was a ghost.
This will be the exact same thing.
Except you're not
You're not Cutter.
OK?
You're Max.
You're our friend.
You're my
You're one of us.
OK?
- Wait, wait, wait. Maybe that's it.
- What is?
Cutter.
Cutter goes in, and Kayla
comes out. That's our trade.
- Yes. Yeah.
- Now that makes sense.
Cutter's the one that started
this whole mess, not you, Max.
Okay, but how do we get Stan
Cutter whoever this clown is,
How do we get him into the
mirror? Do we ask nicely?
We're not going to be asking, and
we're not going to be nice about it either.
It's not going to be that easy.
Guys, think about it.
We're talking about a guy
who literally cheats death.
Look at how he already duped us.
There's no way we can guarantee
that we're going to be able to get him.
At least if
If I go in the mirror
You guys will get Kayla back.
Yeah, but if you go into the
mirror, you'll be stuck there forever.
Yeah, I know.
But I also know you guys.
And I know that the four of
you, all you guys together, with Kayla,
That's the best shot that we've got.
- It's the way it's got to be, OK?
- Max, I'll come back for you, OK?
I'll save you. I'm not going to leave
you in that mirror, I promise, OK?
I'll save you. I'm not going to leave
you in that mirror, I promise, OK?
I know you won't.
I know.
I see you.
OK.
Long live the Midnight Society.
Knock once.
Knock twice.
Guys. Guys!
Guys, guys, it's me!
Max.
Kayla.
Max!
- What's the 411?
- Kayla.
It's you.
Max!
Max.
- Kayla. - Kayla!
- Wait, no. No, no, no! No! Let go of me.
- No, Kayla.
- Let go.
- Let go of me.
- Kayla.
- Why is he in the mirror? Why is he in the mirror?
- It was the only way.
- Listen, it's OK.
- No. No.
- It's OK.
- I'm sorry.
- It's OK.
- No.
I'm sorry.
It was all our fault.
No.
It wasn't.
It wasn't your fault.
It was Cutter's.
It was Cutter's fault.
It was Cutter's fault.
He's the one.
Oh, you clever little thief.
You know, we could use
more friends like you.
- What?
- That's it.
- We need more friends.
- Friends?
More friends like Max.
That's how we end this.
DANGER.
D-A-N-G-E-R.
That is correct. Now spell "trouble."
T-R-O-U-B-L-E.
That is correct. Now spell
All right, you can come out now.
Very cute, Betty Ann,
and not at all frightening.
You'd think after 40 years of running around this
hotel, she would come up with a better costume.
U-R-N.
U-R-N.
Trouble.
T-R-O-U-B-L-E.
Smile for the camera.
Okay, just hold on, just wait a second.
Now, I don't know what they've told you.
We know everything.
Well then, you know
I've never hurt any of you.
You killed her. You're
the reason we're all here.
She's the monster who took
your lives, not me. Blame her.
I've been protecting all of you
and keeping you safe.
- By keeping us trapped in here?
- No.
It's over now.
Your time is up.
She's out, and she's coming.
No, the boat.
She cut it loose.
Please.
Please, forgive me.
- Hello, Ms. King.
- Cutter.
Oh, good on you.
So what happens now?
You're going to put me away?
You're going to make me walk
the plank back to the other side?
You can go in any way you like, but you're
going back in, and Lucia's coming back out.
So you got it all figured out?
Just one tiny problem.
Don't see any mirrors.
Hey, where's Casper?
Ghost boy ghost you again, hm?
That's how you got out of the
mirror, 'cause he went in for you.
What a fool, giving up
his life for love.
Just like Lucia.
Are you afraid?
Afraid.
- You are, aren't you?
- Of what?
You're afraid to cross over,
and that's why you became
a ghost all those years ago,
And why you wanted to take Lucia's
place, and why you're running now.
Okay, I was like you, Cutter, but now
I know there's nothing to be afraid of.
If you cross over,
you'll finally be free.
I'll help you.
We'll help.
No!
- Not
- Let her go!
Not another step.
You're not getting away with this.
Uh, getting away
is exactly what I'm doing.
You know, I think I've had enough
of this wretched island, so I'm leaving.
And you're going to help me.
Get off, Cutter!
No, you're not taking her!
Hey, not another step!
Or Kayla's shark food.
- We've got to do something. He's going to take her.
- No, we can't
Summer, stop, stop.
Come on.
Get in.
On board now.
Why are you doing this?
You don't need me.
Don't worry, Ms. King. I'll be
throwing you overboard soon.
What's she doing?
It's a mirror.
- It's a mirror.
- The spell. The spell. Let's go.
- Ferris, let's go!
- Almost there.
- Start with a mirror.
- Add a flame.
Knock once.
Knock twice.
What are they doing?
Stop that!
Call out her name!
Lucia!
Oh, no.
I'm Captain Jonas Cutter.
This hotel is filled with tortured souls,
just like me.
Guys.
Guys.
- Oh, are you OK?
- Are you OK?
- Are you OK? - Are you OK?
- Are you OK?
Yeah.
Lucia.
She's beautiful.
Max.
Go, go, go.
- Wait, what?
- The door is gone.
- Wait, how?
- No, no.
No, it was right here. The door
was right here. Where's the door?
Excuse me.
Sorry. Sorry.
Yeah, can you help us
open that door, please?
- Is everything OK?
- No, we need to get into this room right now.
Which room?
Your suite?
- No, room 13.
- There is no room 13.
Yes, there is. We know there
is. It's right behind that wall.
Yeah, I mean, there used to be,
but room 13 got torn down years ago
When they upgraded the resort.
What?
Sorry.
We promised we'd get him out.
I we said we wouldn't
leave him there.
We left him there.
I promised I'd get him
out of the mirror.
Where's the mirror?
Where's the mirror?
Did you really go to the other side?
I guess.
I mean, it all happened so fast.
Is there a part of you that
that wished you could have stayed?
Honestly?
No.
You know, Bella may have
been my other half, but
You guys are all my family.
But I was right about one thing.
Bella did want us to come here
for her final ghost story.
Why?
For us to be haunted and terrified?
For us to be together.
And haunted and terrified.
It's OK to miss her.
It's OK to miss Max.
I just wish there was
something we could have done
At least to know that he was OK.
Well, you're in luck because
I happen to know this spell
- No.
- No.
I don't think I'm going to look in
another mirror, for the rest of my life.
Please, it'll last, like, 3 minutes.
Excuse me, are you judging me
in my hour of grief?
Pardon me.
Do you know where I might find
the Midnight Society?
I'm wanting to know exactly where you
heard those words put together like that?
Uh, I got this letter
to deliver, but no address.
It just says, "You'll find them
near the bonfire."
Thanks.
That's us.
All right.
Thank you.
Well, open it.
"To the Midnight Society.
"First of all, sorry for ghosting you.
Again."
"If you're reading this,
it means you still came to the island."
"Well, a lot has happened since
I went into the mirror that day"
"And you're not going
to believe it."
So listen up
because I have one last story for you.
The hotel on this island
once had a haunted room.
Good evening.
Welcome to The Veil.
Hi.
One bed please.
I'm sorry, but we're fully booked.
We'll take anything. Whatever you have.
We have one special room.
Here.
- Room 13.
- Yes.
- It's not, like, haunted or anything, right?
- No, nothing like that.
Only reserved for special occasions.
Thank you.
You see, because Lucia crossed over,
the curse of room 13 was lifted,
which gave all the ghosts a second chance.
Ricky and I even finally
got to see "Scream."
- Ricky, what's up, dude? You ready to go?
- Let's do this thing, brother.
By the way,
thanks for not spoiling the ending.
But don't think of this as our ending.
For us, it's only a new beginning.
And who knows?
Maybe if you find some magic spell
that lets you return to 1996,
we can pick up right where we left off.
- Oh, hey.
- Hi, Jules.
Hey, are you excited it's our last
night, or happy to be going home?
A little bit of both, I think.
That's how I always feel
at the end of these things.
But hey, at least it was fun, you know?
You're a terrible chaperone,
by the way.
- So much stuff happened. It was really bad.
- Wait, are you joking? What happened?
Nah, it's all good.
We handled it, so
Wait, how about I make it
up to you with a dance?
Thank you so much,
but I am going to pass.
Thank you for holding that.
You have fun.
For once, can you not?
- What?
- You like me.
- No, I don't like you.
- Yes, you do. I can tell.
Uh, no, you can't,
because I don't like you.
At least, like, not like that.
- I think you do like me like that.
- Well, you're wrong.
I like you like that.
Well, I like you like this.
Okay, okay, okay, how would you rate?
Ten out of ten, never better.
Oh, stop, go on.
I know this isn't going to be
easy, but it's what he wanted.
And he finally got off this island.
- Yeah. - So come on up.
This is not sad girl summer.
We are on an island.
We are hanging on the beach,
and you, bestie, are dancing with me.
Hey, lovebirds, come on!
Come on.
So, Midnight Society, my only advice to you
is to always go headfirst into the mystery
Because you never know who
you'll become on the other side.
See you around the campfire.
Your friend, Max.
- So what should we do?
- You know, we have this fire.
Be a shame to waste it.
Should we put it to a vote?
You know, tonight's
a very special night.
Normally, when we meet around
the fire to tell tales,
Each one of us has our own
special brand of terrors.
Some talk about witches and the occult.
Others talk about Lovecraft
and weird science.
And some talk about fabulous
creatures in sickening costumes,
Or heroes searching for the truth.
You know, no two stories are alike,
and no two of us are alike,
And that's why two of us
are telling the story tonight.
- Two of us?
- What are you talking about?
Yeah, who's the other storyteller?
Bella.
Do you think
she's really here right now?
No.
I know she is.
Which is why she is going to
help me tell the story tonight.
And who knows
who else might be listening?
Because now we know spirits are all
around us, and we're never truly alone.
And this story is so major
That it needs the best of both of us.
There's magic in it.
That's me.
And mayhem.
That's Bella.
It's about an evil power so strong
that it survived over the centuries,
Waiting to step up
and spread its terrors,
Growing more cunning and more
powerful as the years went by.
And in this story, there's
only one thing to be afraid of.
What?
Submitted for the revival
of the Midnight Society
I call this story
"The Tale
of the Girl in the Mirror."
