03x04 - Episode 4

[bunniefuu]

Your time is over.
You can't control me anymore.

You must help me.

Diana's with Matthew now...

One day, you will have to
walk away from her.

I know.

Baldwin could order
another m*ssacre tomorrow.

He's already ordered Matthew
to k*ll one vampire in his line.

Matthew's cleansing
the world of blood rage.

He can't bear the idea of the twins
going through what he did.

How are the babies?

All is well in their world.

When are you coming home?

MATTHEW: Soon, I promise.

DIANA: We have two pages
in our possession.

And another one firmly in our sights.

PHOEBE: Someone called TJ Weston

bought an illustrated page from a book

with a written motto.

They all wait silently,
connected by secret knots.

PHOEBE: So we now need
to find TJ Weston.

[WHOOSHING]

[WHOOSHING STOPS]

- Oh!
- Oh!

- [SPEAKING OTHER LANGUAGE]
- Oh, Fernando! You're king.

- Morning!
- Morning.

Whoever you are, TJ Weston, you
are really starting to piss me off.

I can't understand how someone
can just disappear off the grid.

Maybe he doesn't want to be found.

Well, I mean there is
a TJ Weston who was

quite the prolific composer
during the early nineties.

What happened to him?

No one knows.

It's like he just vanished
into thin air.

It's just as well, we have
another to sift through.

Needle in a haystack.

Which is why

I've been working on a locator spell.

A locator spell

needs a witch for each element.

Mmm-hmm.

We have to find a coven.

Exactly.

Uh, well, hang on.

Surely the last thing you want to do

is to draw attention to yourselves?

Won't Peter Knox hear
about it if you do?

Well, we are running
out of options, Phoebe.

Yes, but any witch in their right
mind will have gone to ground.

We'll find them.

GALLOWGLASS: Find who?

Diana needs the help of a coven.

It's too dangerous.

FERNANDO: Gallowglass is right.

Knox is already lurking in the shadows.

He can lurk all he wants.

I've come too far to give up now.

[OPENING THEME MUSIC PLAYING]

No good can come of this.

I know.

You've done what Philippe asked of you.

I didn't do it for Philippe.

Still,

it's time you got on with your own life.

It isn't only Matthew and
Diana who deserve happiness.

You deserve to be happy too, mio figlio.

Do I?

DIANA: Did that belong to Lucas?

MATTHEW: Yes.

I bet you were an amazing father.

I'd like to leave you a family.

This is what we call a blood rage!

A sickness of the vampire blood.

Your conscience is a handicap!

A weakness!

RANSOME: If I could just believe for
one second that you comprehend

what we lost.

k*ll him.

- MATTHEW: Two heartbeats.
- DIANA: Two babies?

BALDWIN: Brother,
this could ruin our family.

DIANA: Think of our future.

[PHONE RINGING]

Pick up your phone, Matthew!

CHRIS: Miriam.

MIRIAM: Sorry,
I came as soon as I could.

What is it? You look like
you've been here all night.

CHRIS: I was.

I compared Ransome's samples
to the ones we already had.

Look.

These are the genetic charts
for Ysabeau and Ransome.

And these belong to Matthew and Jack.

We've been assuming that the vampire DNA

completely overwrites the existing

human DNA during transformation.

But if that were the case
then Matthew and Ysabeau's

genomes would have more similarities.

CHRIS: And so would Ransome
and the New Orleans clan.

My theory is that
during Matthew's rebirth

something already
in his non-coding, human DNA

reacted to the new genetic
information flooding his system.

Vampire genes are, are brutal.

They push aside what's human in order to

dominate the newly modified cells.

I don't think they replace everything.

See, Matthew is a combination
of the genetic ingredients

he inherited from his human parents,

as well as what
he inherited from Ysabeau.

Something in his human DNA reacted

with the blood rage in Ysabeau's.

Matthew possessed the triggers

the blood rage gene
needed to express itself.

I know.

This is more complicated
than we thought,

but Matthew needs to know.

DIANA: So, this is
where the street pattern

is different to the th century.

We're not far from where
Goody Alsop used to live.

I just need to re-orientate myself.

If there are witches still around here,

I should be able to sense their power.

Can't you help her?

Diana was here just a few months ago,

I haven't been here for over years.

DIANA: Streets of old
with remembered paths,

rewind the time to show the past.

SARAH: Holy sh*t.

LINDA: Welcome home, Diana Bishop.

We've been expecting you.

You need to come with me.

LINDA: These foundations are
built upon centuries of our history.

And Goody Alsop's legacy is as
powerful now as it's always been.

SARAH: How many members do you have?

Three dozen.

Life can be lonely for a witch
without a community.

So, erm, what is it
you need our help with?

I'm assuming this isn't a social visit?

I'm trying to piece back together

the pages of an ancient manuscript.

Academics know it as Ashmole ,

while Creatures, they refer
to it as the Book of Life.

We believe it contains
the first spells ever cast.

We've already found
two of its missing pages.

The third completes it.

I've heard of it. It's full of power.

Yes, exactly, which is why we can't

allow it to fall into the wrong hands.

We believe the final page
is in the possession

of a man named TJ Weston.

Look, she's been working
on a locator spell.

Diana, we will do whatever
it takes to help you.

Thank you.

Please. Use what you need.

Tamsin will help you.

Diana, meet Michael, he's a fire witch.

TAMSIN: Thank you.

Satu, I'm delighted
you were able to join us.

Beware the witch with the
blood of the lion and the wolf,

for with it she shall destroy
the children of the night.

You think the prophecy is
about Diana Bishop, don't you?

It must be so exhausting
being you, Satu.

Can't you just enjoy yourself for once?

Ah, there's Benjamin.
He asked if you'd be attending.

Having fun?

There's more warm blood
in this room than I expected.

Gerbert thinks the humans have a role

to play in preserving his collection.

He likes to throw them
the odd crumb now and then,

much like yourself.

SATU: You're nothing if not persistent.

I had hoped you might
have reconsidered my proposal.

Unless, of course, you consider
the obstacle too great.

I looked inside Diana.

She has power but she
doesn't know how to use it.

Not as I can now.

Everybody thinks she is
the witch from the prophecy,

a witch that is destined
to surpass us all.

But who actually is that witch?

DIANA: Salt of earth,
show us the land...

[WHOOSHES]

Missing pages, lost and found,
where is Weston on this ground?

[WHOOSHES]

DIANA: There he is.

RANSOME: When is your friend arriving?

MATTHEW: She'll be here soon.

MARCUS: I promise you'll notice.

GERALDINE: I never saw you
as a carpenter, Matthew.

RANSOME: He's full
of surprises, isn't he?

It's been a long time since I've done
something useful with my hands.

Diana's gonna love them
if she ever gets to see them.

[CAR DOOR OPENS, CLOSES]

MATTHEW: Miriam?

We need to talk. I'm afraid
pleasantries will have to wait.

MARCUS: And that's Miriam.

MATTHEW: Well, Miriam,
what brings you here?

I was worried about you, Matthew.

You haven't answered
a single one of my calls,

texts or emails in weeks.

MATTHEW: Look, I apologize.

I've been somewhat

preoccupied with the scion
and earning their trust.

MIRIAM: Well, the new samples
you sent us, we analyzed them.

They support Chris's theory.

MATTHEW: Which is?

Blood rage is a developmental anomaly.

There's a genetic component
for sure but,

the blood rage gene itself
appears to be activated

by something in the human
non-coding DNA.

So, I already possessed

the trigger the blood rage gene
needed to express itself?

We believe it manifested
when Ysabeau sired you.

There might never be a cure.
Not for you. Not for Jack.

Not for the twins if they need one.

We've been looking in the
wrong place this entire time.

The answer doesn't lie with vampires.

Our human genes hold the key.

SARAH: What's this?

DIANA: A defense spell for you.

SARAH: Why?

DIANA: Because we don't know
who's in there, Sarah.

Vampires are well and
good but we witches

need to know how to protect ourselves.

Just in case.

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

GALLOWGLASS: Hello?

I hear a heartbeat, someone's in there.

Hello?

His heart's racing. He's in distress.

Right, stay back...

Wait!

We could try that.

DIANA: Hello? Anyone home?

Mr. Weston?

[MAN SHUDDERING]

DIANA: Hi.

We are so sorry for the intrusion.

You're a witch.

And you're a daemon.

What do you want from me?

We were hoping to speak to TJ Weston.

Timothy Weston? He's not here.

We believe Mr. Weston
has a page from a book

that belonged to the scholar
and alchemist Dr. John Dee.

What if he does?
What business is it of yours?

The page was ripped from a
manuscript in the th century.

I'm trying to piece it back together.

I won't have vampires in my house.

I'll go as soon as you put the bat down.

[CLATTERING]

Thank you.

Come, come, come with me,
but lock the doors.

[PIANO MUSIC PLAYING]

DIANA: Where did you study music?

The Metropolitan Conservatoire.

Oh?

There were people always
whispering, saying unkind things.

[HITS DISCORDANT NOTES]

[SIGHS]

DIANA: We were hoping that perhaps,

in your many papers that you might
have the page I'm looking for.

TJ WESTON: It's a tree, isn't it?

Yes, that's right.

Mmm. I used to like
looking at it. The way the, erm,

the branches intertwined...

It's made from the skin of my ancestors.

It's all the family I have left now.

Having it here in this house,
it's like they're still with me.

We'd love to see it.

[LAUGHS] If you can find it.

Well we could always
try a finding spell.

No! I won't have magic in my house.

You can't just come in here
and take things from me.

I'm sorry. That was never our intention.

Everything must stay as it is.

Of course.

Thank you, Mr. Weston, for seeing us.

I wish you well.

What are you doing?

We'll show ourselves out.

Diana...

Doesn't he have the page?

Yes.

But if we take it from him,
he's got nothing left.

Why don't I talk to him?

No!

We're not gonna force him.

We're not the Congregation.

I didn't mean...

Come on,

I hope you think better of me than that.

I'm sorry.

I know you mean well,

but I can do this on my own.

You don't think I know?

You had that same look of determination
on your first day at Yale.

What?

Philippe asked me to look out for you.

Look out?

And make sure you made
your way to Matthew.

You would have waited centuries?

I gave him my word.

He had no right to ask that of you.

Diana, I did it gladly.

I'm so sorry...

No, no, no, no. I won't
have you apologize

for something that you
had no power to prevent.

I knew from the off that you
were never meant to be mine.

DIANA: Oh, Gallowglass...

I couldn't have asked
for a better guardian.

Philippe de Clermont always did have

an unholy ability to give you
a job that you couldn't refuse.

Thank you.

[QUIETLY] But it would cost you
a piece of your soul.

MIRIAM: This isn't really about
a cure for blood rage, is it?

This is what you do,

you feel guilty about all the things
you've done and can't change.

And you fear what you might do next.

But you can't do that anymore.

You have a scion to oversee,

a mate at home who needs you
and two babies on the way.

Who could well be
suffering from the same

affliction that has plagued my family,

for centuries.

Look, I'm sorry Miriam,

I don't want them to have to
hide or risk being exterminated.

Matthew, we don't know
if they have blood rage.

We don't even know if they're vampires.

I know you'd hoped there
might be a cure one day.

The truth is, even if the twins
do have blood rage,

you two will find a way to make sure

they lead long and fulfilling lives.

But for now, Diana needs
you there, for the birth.

And you can't do it from here.

Going home without a cure doesn't
mean you've failed as a father.

But it will if you choose to stay here.

[TELEPHONE RINGING]

BALDWIN: Matthew...

We need to meet.

BALDWIN: Where?

Should I come with you?

No. It's fine, I'll go on my own.

DIANA: I'm glad you told me.

Diana?

Erm, I'm sorry to just
drop by like this.

But there's something
I need your help with.

I hope you don't mind...

No, um, do come in.

I'm glad of the company.

[DOOR OPENS]

You know the rules. First one
in has to help set up the chairs.

KNOX: Oh, I can feel her magic.

Where is she?

LINDA: You must be Peter Knox.

Diana warned me you might come here.

She left hours ago.

Where did she go?

You should know I'm under
Father Hubbard's protection.

You think that means anything?

Hubbard's a charlatan.

Says the man who was
expelled from the Congregation

for k*lling a fellow witch.

You don't want to test me now.

I heard you'd been skulking
around the city,

behaving as if your name
still means something.

[SCREAMING]

KNOX: Where did she go?

[WHOOSHING]

[THUDS]

I already told you. I won't
have magic in my house.

You don't have to do anything
that you don't want to, Timothy.

But we only ask that you hear us out.

You're a daemon.

Why are you helping a witch?

For the same reason that
you should be, Timothy.

The Book is our chance to prove
that daemons matter, too.

We've faced centuries of prejudice,

because no creature or human has even

tried to understand us.

I know how you have suffered,
Timothy, forced into isolation.

I share your pain.

I had to give up my family

because I took a stand
against bigotry and ignorance.

I do not want to have done that in vain.

DIANA: Timothy,

we need to prove to the Congregation

that their cruel and antiquated laws

are the reason why
creatures are suffering.

This page will complete the
Book of Life, make it whole again.

You don't have to explain.
I know exactly who you are.

You are the one who
will learn how it all began,

the blood, the death, the fear.

And the one who can put
a stop to it, once and for all.

I know where it is.

Thank you.

You've got what you came for.

You don't have to pretend anymore.

Listen to me...

You are not alone anymore.

You have me and a whole
community out there.

I don't know if I'm ready.

Then we'll go at your pace.

DIANA: Now that we have the third page,

we can heal the Book of Life
and hopefully get some answers.

AGATHA: You know I honestly thought
that we'd progressed beyond this,

that creatures like Timothy
were a thing of the past.

How many more daemons
are going to have to suffer

before the Congregation realize
it's not just witches and vampires?

That's why I want
to repeal the covenant.

We need more than a fight, Agatha,

we need a revolution.

[GROANS]

I think they're coming.

BALDWIN: Why all the secrecy, Matthew?

Is it because you've yet
to deal with the boy?

You think by declaring your own scion,

you can just divorce yourself
from your obligations?

Baldwin, I know in my heart

that if Philippe were
here, he'd understand

our desire to chart a
new path for our family.

BALDWIN: But he is not here.

I would be within my rights
to seize your assets,

cast you out of Sept-Tours.

Well then, so be it.

I have everything I need.

So you're just going to
change how this family

has operated from the very beginning,

for a witch who has fifty years
left of her life, at best.

And when she's no longer here...

I made a promise to Diana
in front of our father.

I intend to honor that promise.

What was it like seeing him again?

As you'd expect.

Baldwin...

I cannot lend my support to your scion.

Can't you at least respect my decision?

No...

I cannot.

SARAH: They're here!

FERNANDO: Let's get her in quickly!

SARAH: How long between contractions?

AGATHA: Five minutes.

SARAH: You're going to be fine.

It's all happening as it should.

Here we go.

[TELEPHONE RINGING]

Fernando.

How far away are you Matthew?

On our way, how's Diana?

She's in labor. You need to get here.

MATTHEW: She's at the house?

FERNANDO: Yes,
Sarah's looking after her.

C'mon, quickly.

[GROANING GENTLY]

SARAH: Come get in the bath.
It will help with the pain.

No, the baby book says to wait.

Babies don't read books, honey.

They have their own ideas
about these things.

Where's Matthew?

Diana, I was there with Rebecca
when you came into this world.

I'm here for you now. We can do this.

Yeah. Yeah.

SARAH: And if we need a doctor,
they're just a phone call away.

- Diana!
- She's upstairs.

Thank you.

Hi.

MIRIAM: Marcus!

Oh. Thank you.

Remember, you've done this
hundreds of times before.

- I'm here if you need me.
- Okay.

AGATHA: Miriam,
I need to visit a friend, but

let me know when there's news.

Skullcap and catnip to ease the pain.

MATTHEW: Mon coeur!

Oh, Matthew...

I'm right here.

I know the vampires
arrived to save the day

but we were getting along
perfectly fine without you.

- I'm sure you were.
- Mmm-hmm.

[GROANING SOFTLY]

That's it.

Okay. How're we doing?

We're looking at four minutes
between contractions.

Heart rates seem normal.
There's no sign of distress.

I could have told you that.

That's it, that's it...

It hurts.

Only for a little while, I promise.

Okay, if you need me,
I'll just be through there.

Thank you.

Now, can I get you anything?

Are you sure?

[DIANA GASPING]

SARAH: One more. One more.
One more. That's my girl!

[BABY CRYING]

Matthew will never leave her side again.

[BABY CRYING]

How is she?

She's perfect.

She is.

[BABY COOING]

Here we go...

Oh, yes, yes, yes, yes.

Oh, oh...

Hello little stranger.

Hello little stranger.

Is everything going all right?

MIRIAM: Don't worry, Ysabeau.

The first baby is with us
and sounds perfectly healthy.

[GRUNTING IN PAIN]

MARCUS: Nearly there...

Here we go...

[BABY CRYING]

Ysabeau... Did you hear that?

That's baby number two.

YSABEAU: Oh, how marvelous.

Felicitations, grand-mere.

I wish Mom and Dad were here.

To Em and Philippe.

If Philippe was here,

he'd be shouting in the streets
waking up the neighbors,

terribly proud.

I'd like to call him Philip.

That's funny. I was just thinking,
she looks like Rebecca.

I think we're gonna need
some more glasses.

We have got two perfectly
healthy and beautiful babies.

We have a daughter.

MIRIAM: Oh, Matthew's in trouble.

And a little boy.

And Diana?

She was amazing.

- [CORK POPS]
- [ALL EXCLAIM]

AGATHA: Timothy?

[GROANING IN PAIN]

AGATHA: Timothy!

Timothy!

[GROANING IN PAIN]

Timothy,

who did this to you?

Don't be afraid. I'm here.

You're not alone.

I just can't seem to satisfy her.

JACK: He's disappeared again.

It's worse than him being around
in some ways because

you know that he's
still thinking about you

and what he's going
to do when he finds you.

MATTHEW: Benjamin wouldn't dare

to set foot on de Clermont territory.

If he came anywhere near the twins...

I'd k*ll him!

Many will think this christening
too provocative.

As I'm sure you're aware,

you're about to find out
who your true friends are.

Any thr*at to the existing order

must be extinguished.

I'll deal with it.
