01x08 - Moroii

[bunniefuu]

Strip off.

It's the Egyptian god of creation and rebirth.

Creation? It's nicking body parts.

What if it is stealing them for something or someone else?

What? You mean putting them into someone else's body -- Bringing them back to life?

The Reaper should have returned. Without it's harvest Captain Dance will rot. We will have to start again.

Argh!

Insane.

We are watching you, Jekyll.

We have 1,000 eyes.

I swear, everything you want.

And you'll never see me again.

Help me!

Can't be another Reaper victim.

No, sir, something much worse.

A vampire?

That is all we need.

(Dog barks and bell tolls)

(Woman squeals)

(They laugh)

(Metallic scraping)

I have an... appointment.

Watts.

George Watts.

Lord George Watts.

(Thunder rumbles)

(Clock ticking)

Hello?

Hello?

(Foil on bottle rustling)

(Pop)

(Fizzing)

You started without me.

I don't like waiting.

You've never had something so worth waiting for.

I wasn't sure you would come.

You did invite me.

Yes.

But there's a vampire running around.

Seems to have a taste for boys like you.

Nothing "boy" about me.

No.

Let's skip dinner.

(Gasps)

But I'm hungry.

Uh-uh.

Be nice to me, sweetheart.

You know who I am.

I have... influence.

Oh...

I know.

(Snarls)

(Thudding and Watts groaning)

(Watts screams)

Sorry. I don't skip dinner.

(She gasps)

You scratched me.

Bad boy.

Very bad boy.

Still... thanks for dropping by.

(Deep rumbling)

(He grunts)

(Creaking)

(Eerie chattering)

(Clattering)

(Gasping)

(Spraying)

(Panting)

Remind me.

Exactly what does this department do, Bulstrode?

We catch monsters, sir.

So, why is there one running around, sucking the blood out of our brightest and best?

There's only so much we can do with the resources we have.

Well, I'm not giving you any more.

These past few weeks have been a disaster.

Frankly, I've a good mind to cut your funding altogether and shut this place down.

Let's not be hasty.

No, let's!

You have until Sunday to catch this vampire.

After that, I'm giving this building over to Agriculture And Fisheries.

Sunday? I would need more staff...

You'll work with what you've got!

Use Jekyll, man. Wasn't that always the idea?

I made a deal with him.

I beg your pardon?

We have a file of his, with his family history in it.

I promised to give it to him and I promised to leave him alone.

In exchange for what?

In exchange for not k*lling me.

Next time... let him k*ll you.

One of these three idiots can take over!

Out of my way, man!

Get me the file, get me Jekyll, and get me this vampire if you want to keep your jobs!

Now get out!

(Dials telephone number)

(Low grunting and moaning)

Morning. (Laughs wheezily)

You look gorgeous.

(Grunts)

How is he?

Well... for a kid who's just had a parasite inside him that tried to liquefy his internal organs, he's doing not half bad.

But he's having some pretty dreadful night terrors.

Aren't we all?

Where are you going, anyway, so early?

To get my file.

You really think Bulstrode's gonna hand it over just like that?

We have a deal.

Ravi's alive, Dance is dead.

You've won. Beaten them.

What more do you want?

I'm surrounded by enemies who seem to have read the entry to "Robert Jekyll" in the encyclopaedia.

Yet, what do I know? Nothing.

My father left that file for me.

It will tell me what happened to him.

Why I'm so important to Tenebrae and MIO.

You're asking an awful lot of one little file.

What if it's just a collection of cherished family recipes?

Leave those worms in the can!

What is this?

A slight change of plan.

Where's my file?

(Clicks fingers)

The vampire struck again last night and dumped the body here.

Victim identified as Lord George Watts.

Of Watts department stores.

You don't have Watts in Ceylon?

Vampires aren't my problem, Bulstrode.

Just give me my file and I'll go.

Bring us the vampire alive and you'll have it.

That wasn't the deal.

That deal was made under duress.

I'm making a new deal now.

No, you are not.

People are dying, Robert.

We need your help. If there was any other way, neither of us would be standing here.

(Hisses)

In a couple of seconds, one of us isn't going to be.

Leave it, Hyde.

k*ll me and you'll never get the file.

I'm glad you've seen sense.

(Hyde sniffs and grunts softly)

That's not what I've seen.

Robert!

Come on! Get after him!

Come on, move! Move it.

Get after him!

Robert!

(Sniffs)

(Sniffing)

(Sniffs)

(Growls softly)

Mm.

You took your time.

You're the vampire?

Is that what they're calling me?

They read too many cheap novels.

Well... if you're not the vampire... then what are you?

Don't you know?

No, I don't know and I don't care.

You're coming with me.

(He grunts)

Oopsy.

You didn't come here to catch a vampire.

You came here because you were following a trail.

(Clattering)

And I found something that somebody else wants.

Mm...

Argh!

No, darling. You found something you want.

Something you want very badly.

(Roars)

Why? What are you?

Isn't it obvious?

I'm you, Robert.

What?

I'm a Hyde.

I'm your sister.

(Groaning and clattering)

Argh!

I don't have a sister.

I beg to differ.

(Grunts)

(Police car bell ringing)

You saw the trail and tracked me.

Hyde blood.

Only a Hyde can leave it and only a Hyde can see it.

(Police car bell ringing)

I escaped Tenebrae to find you, but I had to be sure it was you.

You're with Tenebrae?

You don't remember?

What?

Anything.

You don't know anything about your past.

It is proving rather difficult.

I am your past, Robert.

(Pounding on door)

Police! Open up!

Police! Open up!

Oh. I think we upset the neighbours.

There are important things I have to tell you about Tenebrae.

Get us somewhere safe.

How can I trust you?

You want answers? You want the truth?

Get us somewhere safe now.

(Squelching)

(Low screeching)

Still wasting your time in here, Fedora?

Shouldn't you be out there, trying to find your runaway?

She's in danger of upsetting everything.

Olalla is not an easy fish to catch.

Silas and his men are searching everywhere.

(Chuckles)

That one-eyed imbecile.

You should be onto it yourself.

This is more important than nursing Frankenstein's monster.

Captain Dance is not a monster.

He's more of a man than you will ever be.

Oh, get rid of him.

Get rid of all this.

The longer it goes on, the riskier it gets.

If MIO find out or -- God forbid -- Hyde... I'm done for.

You don't need him.

Mm?

Don't... waste yourself... on a dead man.

Captain Dance is everything.

You... are nothing.

This is not what I was promised.

You were promised power.

What better power than bringing the dead back to life?

(Low screeching)

Oh, dear.

What's wrong with him?

(Low whining)

Without the Reaper bringing back the parts we need for Dance... they're working too hard.

They are exhausted, starving.

And if they perish, so will Dance.

If I let them out to feed... to grow strong, they could bring me back what I need.

But if you remove them, surely he will deteriorate faster?

But if I do nothing...

Do it.

Send them out to feed.

There.

Ah, Robert. Boy.

That is not a file.

You're not very polite.

You said you'd talk, so talk.

Hyde... who is this?

I'm his sister. Olalla.

Sister?

Who the hell are you?

So, you went to sell the cow and came back with magic beans.

So, what is it you need to tell me about Tenebrae, huh?

Tenebrae?

Isn't there something you should be doing?

Oh, yes, I'm downstairs in the lab.

Right.

With Lily.

Oh, why?

Because you told her ten o'clock.

No, I didn't. He did.

Well, she's here to see whichever one of you did tell her ten o'clock.

Just get rid of her.

She's your girlfriend.

Ohh, you have a girlfriend!

No. He has a girlfriend.

And...

Why?

(Gasping)

(Eerie chattering)

Garson: Robert.

Wakey-wakey.

What the hell did you give him?

Here.

(Sprays)

Ahh.

Stay here.

(Grunts)

Lily!

What happened to you?

I um... Er... It's...

Hello.

I um... Listen, it's really not a very good time.

When is it ever?

A very good question. I um...

I just need... this book.

Do you like oysters, Robert?

Ah...

Oysters? I don't... really know. I don't think I've ever tried one.

I love them.

I love the look of them.

I love the smell of them.

The taste of them.

And when I swallow one... it has a physical effect on me.

I come alive.

But only for a moment, because I'm violently allergic to them.

Oh.

I won't go into it, but if you could imagine a huge wave crashing into the sea wall and the foam spraying in the air.

Oh, yes, I can imagine.

I think you're allergic to me.

You're scared to get too close.

And, for my part, I'm scared that... if I ever were to cr*ck open your shell... I might not find any pulse inside.

What do you want me to do?

I want you to tell me what's going on.

There's something inside you, some big secret, something that stops you from being yourself with me.

Lily, if there was... some way that I could prove to you how much I care.

I don't expect you to throw yourself at my feet and propose marriage.

Why not?

What?

(He puts book on table)

Why shouldn't I throw myself at your feet?

Why shouldn't I propose to you?

I can think of a dozen reasons, Robert.

Listen...

I love you, Lily.

Since I first saw you in Gravesend.

That's nonsense.

You hardly know me.

And I certainly don't know you.

Well, that's only because I don't know myself.

Listen, this morning, I... I...

I thought that I was going to find out everything. But instead...

Well, I don't know what I found out.

So... whatever happened today, if it had gone differently, you'd be ready to open up to me?

Yes.

I need to go.

Well, here... This way. This way.

It's quicker. Lily...

If I told you everything about myself, why I'm like I am... do you think we have a chance of a life together?

Well, just think about it.

Bye.

(Thud upstairs)

(Garson moaning softly)

(Mutters) Take me away.

Ravi: Robert!

(Garson mutters)

(Ravi groans)

Get her off!

Oh, come on. I wasn't going to take enough to k*ll him.

Please. I need to feed. I'm getting weak.

I'm desperate.

I should never have brought you here.

You've changed.

There's less of you.

What is this thing?

Oh, come on.

You don't think I stick my fangs into their necks?

Whatever it is you do, you don't do it to my brother!

Brother?

Oh... how modern!

Don't break it!

Tenebrae call it the sangrias maxilla.

I just call it my blood spike.

She's with Tenebrae!

I stole it... when I ran away.

I heard all about you, Robert.

I came to find you.

They told me you were dead but... I never expected you to be like this.

You come with me.

How can you choose to live as Jekyll?

What did you do?

Me?

He came at me with your Jekyll juice.

(Moans softly)

Wakey-wakey.

Tell me it was all a dream.

Oh.

Here.

It seems my sister is the vampire.

She can prove that?

Oh, she sucks blood -- with this thing.

I mean, can she prove she's your sister?

Just give me the blood spike.

We need to stop Tenebrae.

Everything comes back to Tenebrae.

They took me when I was a child.

Turned me inside-out.

Gave me human blood and monocane to keep me as Hyde.

What for?

As long as I was Hyde, I'd go along with anything.

Do anything.

But that's impossible.

You can't stay as Hyde. What happens when you sleep?

I don't sleep?

(Laughs) Do you believe a word of this?

We have to stop Dance.

Dance is dead. I saw him die.

He doesn't die.

They rebuild him.

When MIO sh*t him, he was too damaged to go back to Tenebrae headquarters.

He's still in London.

You seem to know an awful lot about Captain Dance.

He brought me up as his daughter.

(He laughs)

I don't believe a word of it.

She's lying. She's a Tenebrae spy or something.

She can't prove any of it.

Yes, she can.

What?

I've seen the Hyde inside you.

But if you're really my sister... then where's the Jekyll?

No, not that.

I haven't been Jekyll in years.

Nice try, Olalla.

I won't k*ll again, I swear. Please, just don't make me change back.

Do you want my help or not?

All right. Just make it quick.

No.

You.

(Sprays)

(She moans softly)

Yeah. Yeah, right. I'll tell him.

Hang on, sweetheart. You can tell him yourself.

She needs to sleep for a long time now, I imagine.

Bella.

She's got something you want.

Hello?

(Klaxon horn honks)

(Piano music and chatter)

Excuse me, would you?

So, where is he?

First of all, I have to be sure.

Which one of you two's turned up?

Um... I'm sorry.

Dr Jekyll, I presume.

Could get used to seeing you like this.

I am sorry for the chaos that Hyde brings.

I can't pretend to be two different people.

I have to take responsibility for what Hyde does.

I have to keep out of your life.

Maybe I spoke too soon. He is more fun.

And don't I get a say in it?

Of course you do.

But I have to tell you that I've made a commitment to Lily.

Lily?

I've uh...

I've proposed to her.

If that's what you want.

Bella...

You're right.

You turned my world upside-down.

That's why today... it finishes.

(Bar noise in background)

(Car horn blares outside)

It's a marvellous view from up here.

You can see all the way to the sewage works.

He called me, trying to find you.

Now, the two of you boys... you stop your fighting... you settle your differences... and you get out of my hair.

We had a deal. We made it in this very room.

I broke it, and for that I'm profoundly sorry, but I was under a great deal of pressure.

I need you, Robert.

More than you know.

Dance isn't dead.

Tenebrae are... bringing him back.

How do you know this?

You keep your secrets and I'll keep mine.

But we both have a common enemy.

We both want him destroyed for good.

So I'm willing to do what it takes.

But I need to be armed.

We have many ingenious weapons at MIO.

But our greatest is intelligence. Secret knowledge.

Exactly.

And that's the w*apon I need.

I want my file.

The vampire?

I've already got rid of it.

Fine words butter no parsnips.

I need to take something back.

I have many people breathing down my neck.

I've pulled the vampire's teeth.

You may not like what you find in there.

Some truths are better left alone.

People keep telling me that.

(Eerie chattering)

(She screams)

Hey, hey. Hey, hey. Hey, hey.

Hey.

Bad dreams?

Bad memories.

(She grunts)

Here. Here.

This...

This here...

Is this us?

Yes.

That would make us the same age.

Twins.

Do you really not remember anything?

I'm hiding somewhere.

(Floorboards creaking)

(Eerie chattering)

Beneath the floorboards.

Someone's with me.

I'm with you.

Tenebrae were after you.

Father let them take me instead of you.

Why? Why would he do that?

You were the important one.

The sacred boy child.

The one who inherited the really special powers.

What did Tenebrae do to you?

Captain Dance raised me as his own.

Made me one of them.

That was his revenge on our father.

This goes back a long way, Robert.

Here.

Captain Dauncey.

Our father was accused of murdering a British officer in Gallipoli.

Are you telling me that it's Dance?

Always.

I thought there were others like him.

Throughout the ages. Are you saying they were all Dance?

How do you k*ll an immortal?

I don't.

You do.

Why do you think they're so afraid of you?

You are the only one who can destroy them.

That's why you're so special.

That's why you came for me.

I came because you're my brother.

I did this to prove who I was, and I've done that, so just change me back!

Listen. I have chemicals... downstairs in my laboratory.

Tomorrow we can work together. We can find another way.

I can help you.

But, just now... now, you need to rest.

You are a monster.

(Groans)

(Gasps)

(Moans softly)

Aargh!

(He groans)

Garson: He's getting worse.

And it's more than night terrors.

(Squelching)

(He groans)

Here. Here. Ravi.

Ravi. Ravi. Ravi.

Shh, shh, shh.

I was in its head.

What? You're just sick. It's a fever dream.

Not a dream.

I was seeing through its eyes.

Garson: Like before, when the parasite was in him.

It had a direct link with Tenebrae.

What if that link's still open?

Ravi, what did you see?

Before... there was a bridge.

By a big river.

And then inside underground tunnels.

We were attacking someone.

We had a purpose.

We?

There were others. They were long, grey, like eels, but... but not eels.

Rob... I've seen them before.

What do you mean? Where?

The Jezequiel book.

Ravi: I know I've seen them before.

In the book. I've been studying it.

I've been trying to understand it all.

This. Here. Look.

You're sure that's what you saw in the tunnel?

What's... Uh... Moroii?

Moroii. It's Latin.

It's bad Latin. Hard to understand.

Something about keeping the body alive. Vitalibus.

Ravi: Vital organs.

Olalla said the Tenebrae were trying to revive Dance.

Maybe these Moroii are part of it.

Garson: Huh.

Find the Moroii, we find Dance?

Just like that.

How's your Latin, Ravi?

Better than yours.

Work out exactly what this means.

I'm going to talk to Olalla.

Let's get to work, Garson.

We have been through every book in our library and studied it from every angle, and as far as we can tell... it's a key of some sort.

I know what a key looks like. What's the key for?

An invisible box.

What?

Yes.

Somewhere there is an invisible keyhole and if we found it and inserted the key...

(Clicks tongue)

(Knocking)

She's here, Mr Bulstrode.

Never good news this late. Bring her in.

Ah, my favourite spy.

What have you got for me?

Been looking all over for you, sweetheart.

Tenebrae are gonna be happy...

Come here!

(She gasps)

Bad luck.

Missed.

Mm.

Got you, you nasty little...

Sorry, sweetheart. What were you saying?

(He calls out)

You can run all you like, but Dance will get you.

You and your brother.

Tell me what you know.

Marriage? Ha!

The devil! What was he thinking of?

I never expected it to go this far. I thought it'd be over in a week.

Didn't we all!

None of this has gone to plan.

Oh, on the contrary. It's all gone far better than we could have hoped.

My dear... you really are extraordinary.

To convince a man to marry you?

Thou blind fool, Love, what dost thou to mine eyes that they behold, and see not what they see?

You gave him the file, like I suggested?

An excellent idea.

He thinks I have a heart and now he's willing to open up about Hyde.

If I agree to marry him.

What am I to do?

Have a dress made.

No. You wanted to know exactly what he was thinking and feeling.

I did that for you. You wanted to know which side of his personality was in command -- Jekyll or Hyde?

I think this proves beyond doubt it's Jekyll.

As I say, it's all gone much better than we could have hoped for.

No. I was told to catch a monster. And I found a man.

If I didn't know that you were a cold-hearted, calculating little harpy...

I would think you'd made the fatal error of falling in love.

We've cracked him, Lily.

He's on the team at last.

So, whatever it is you're doing, it works.

Keep him close and keep him sweet.

(Knocking)

Sir. There's been another att*ck. Bodies sucked dry.

Jekyll told me that it was all finished.

Well, it seems, sir, that none of us can trust anyone else.

There's a surprise.

(Bell tolling)

I doubt she's coming back, boy.

Be grateful.

One Hyde is sufficient unto the day.

I shouldn't have pushed her.

Tenebrae forced her to become Hyde.

I forced her to become Jekyll.

Rob.

I think the Moroii were keeping Dance alive.

Acting like his heart and lungs and liver.

With the Reaper dead, Tenebrae must be using them to find the parts they need.

Jeez.

Well, then, they could lead us to Dance.

If we can find them.

That bridge you said you saw.

Could you draw it?

I already have.

Here.

(Seagulls squawking)

This is the place.

This is where I saw them.

They went in here.

You go back. I'll go in alone.

I'm not risking you getting hurt.

And I'm not risking you getting hurt again.

Mind your step.

(Dripping)

(Thud)

Should we run?

No.

We follow.

(Low screeching nearby)

(Steam hissing)

(Clattering)

(Clang)

Check there.

(Squelch)

(Gasps)

Robert!

Ravi!

Ravi! Ravi! It's all right.

(Gasps)

Argh! Argh!

(Screeching)

(Ravi chuckles with relief)

Are you all right?

Yes.

Don't worry.

They're only small.

(Squelching)

What?

(Screeching)

(Eerie chattering)

(Shrieking)

Now we run! Come on!

(Shrieking in distance)

(Low growl)

(Screeches)

Argh!

Robert!

(Screeching)

Yargh! Argh! Argh!

(Growling)

(Shrieks)

(Blood spike pierces skin)

Sorry to burst your balloon.

Get down!

(Screeching)

(Gasping)

(Panting)

Well, that's just great.

Ravi: What are you doing?

Argh!

(Clicking)

Do you have any idea how unhygienic that is?

We need you as Hyde.

That...

(Shrieking)

Come on! We have to follow them! They'll lead us to Dance.

Which way did they go?

I can't find the trail.

Wait. This way.

(g*n clicks)

Hold it right where you are!

Enough monocane in here to knock you out for a week.

You idiots! You're letting them get away.

Hyde.

(Footsteps)

You promised me this was over.

It would have been if you'd have just let me be!

But you've just lost your monster, Bulstrode.

I beg to differ, Mr Hyde.

You seem to have our vampire right there.

You should know. After all, you did give me her bite.

I won't be taken prisoner!

I didn't betray you.

(Roars)

Have him, Sackler! sh**t! Now!

sh**t!

(g*nshots)

(Hyde roars)

Why not accept the dream?

Because dreams turn into nightmares.
