02x22 - Flesh and Blood

[bunniefuu]

Muah! One Ziggy for good luck.

One battle axe, good condition, right?

We got one dagger... broken tip.

One set off brass knuckles, keepin' it real, you know.

Uh...a bull whip. No comment...

And, uh, one crazy, curvy thing with--

Ew, what is that?

Troll blood.

CLATTER!

All of these weapons and not one of them will do us any good against the Garuda.

Bo, don't worry--

Kenzi, I am serious!

You have seen how powerful he is.

Even if Lauren can save Lachlan's venom, I don't know if I can get close enough to him to deliver it.

Bo, I want to help you, I do, I just--

I don't know how.

SLAP!

GASP!

Ow!

That is not exactly what I had in mind!

Bo, that wasn't me.

SLAP!

Ugh!

Son of a--

Vex!

Awww...

I'm sorry, am I disturbing you?

Oh, wait-- It's the other way 'round.

What part of you're a guest here do you not understand?

The part that allows me a peaceful night's sleep.

I mean, it's bad enough I'm stuck on this butcher's block you call a couch, but I have to listen to you two whine about the bloody Garuda--

"Oh, what should we do?

He's so mean and unstoppable!"

Nobody said that.

Well, he is.

Still, it's enough to make me want to cut my own ears off.

Well, let me save you the trouble.

Ah, careful, darling.

Oh, Ziggy...

Maybe you would get a more peaceful night's sleep back in the Morigan's prison.

Fine. It's your party, you can whine if you want to.

I'll be here, trying not to think about what's left behind on a Succubus' couch.

Hey!

(phone ringing)

Trick, hey, what's up?

Sorry for calling so late--

I was hoping you could come and see me at the Dal.

I need to talk to you about something.

And, Bo--

Bring the cane sword I gave to you for your birthday.

♪

What's all this?

This batch is from a few hours ago.

Evidence that the Garuda has resurfaced.

Let me guess, a trail of dead with the lingering scent of burnt chicken?

I've been trying to pinpoint his location and I'm getting close.

That's why I called you here.

I'm concerned about your plan.

You and me both.

This extra power you're going to be taking on is dangerous.

You could lose yourself to the darkness within you.

And you may never make it back.

That's a risk I have to take if I have any chance of defeating the Garuda.

I know.

May I?

This belonged to Isabeau.

I inherited my grandmother's name?

And much more.

I want you to have this--

Her life essence.

The liquid can cure illness, neutralize poison, it can even stave off the darkness from within.

It has incredible curative powers.

It's where you got your ability to heal.

I've hid it for years, waiting for that right time to use it.

And I think that time is quickly approaching.

We survive this...

I want to hear all about her.

About everyone.

Keep this safe.

And if you feel the darkness taking hold, drink it.

It'll restore you to the Bo we love.

I don't now what I'd do without you.

Me too.

Ah! Ah!

Trick!

Trick! Oh--

Life is hard when you don't know who you are.

It's harder when you don't know what you are.

My love carries a death sentence.

I was lost for years, searching while hiding.

Only to find I belonged to a world hidden from humans.

I won't hide anymore.

I will live the life I choose.

I'm guessing they were Rabisu.

UnderFae that hide in the shadows.

Looks like the Garuda's got friends in low places.

Well, whatever they were, they got Trick.

I checked the abattoir. No sign of the Garuda.

What...

Okay, well, Trick says he was close to figuring out the Garuda's location.

There are stacks of maps and papers in the lair.

I got a "D" in geography, babe.

Kenzi, this is important. We have to find Trick fast.

Okay, come on, I'll give you a hand.

Vex: What's so important about Trick anyway?

Yes, he lets you drink for free, but it's hardly worth you putting your lives, and more importantly my life on the line.

Trick is Architect of the Peace.

SPIT!

(laughing)

You're trying to tell me that imp is the Blood King?

♪

I never touched this.

Now you know why finding him is so important.

And why we're the only ones who can pull it off.

Blimey, we really are buggered.

I gotta go talk to Lauren, okay?

Bring her up to speed.

♪

What language is this? It's like a cross between hieroglyphics and a doctor's prescription pad.

Okay, I am gonna make a list of marks and then look for patterns.

So we got a sideways house...

A pair of broken glasses.

And a skinny guy lifting weights at the beach.

You think this is the most efficient way of doing this?

Please-- I was Queen of codes at Greenside High.

I invented my own language for passing cheat sheets.

Of course you did.

Lachlan's venom.

Well, what I was able to salvage.

How many doses is this?

One.

The other samples were just too degraded.

SIGH Talk about putting all your eggs in one basket...

Sorry.

You're the only person in like a thousand years who managed to even get this.

Bo--

You promise me one thing--

You make the Garuda suffer.

He has my Grandfather.

And the things that he could make the Blood King do--

Do you know how powerful Trick is?

Almost as powerful as you.

You have faith in yourself, in your heart.

It's not my heart I'm worried about.

I love you...

All.

So much.

Then be what we need.

Hey, how's it going down there?

Not great.

No problem.

Oh, go ahead and merge naughty bits already.

I mean, seriously, am I the only seeing this?

Bo: Good. You're all here.

I want to talk about my plan.

Thank you--

The last time we went after the Garuda, he manipulated us into fighting with each other.

Dude was like a Fae Jerry Springer.

But I have an answer to that.

My blood.

No mi comprende--

My blood has a unique quality.

You saw it with Ryan. He became mine.

Okay, whoa, whoa-- You--

You want to enslave us?

I want to unite us. In one common goal.

Eliminate individual doubts and conflicts.

It is our only hope.

Hang on a minute--

You want to put that in here?

I mean, no offense, darling, but I don't know you've been.

Nowhere worse than you.

Oh, yeah?

Well, at least I draw the line at sleeping with dogs.

Grrr!

Stop it!

This is exactly what I am talking about!

We need to put aside our differences if we want to get close enough to the Garuda to deliver the Naga venom.

♪

Garuda: Ah... My package has arrived.

You're released.

You're wasting your time.

You can't force me to rewrite the laws.

You've got it all wrong, Blood King.

I have no intention of forcing you to do anything.

I bring grim news. The forces of Lady Almaith have defeated our armies at Rosecrea.

Damn that Almaith!

She's making a fool of me!

Her success has been remarkable, but our armies are amassing at Portlaoise to intercept her and that Dark viper Horvis.

If we prevail there, we turn the tide of w*r.

A man of your greatness deserves victory.

That boot-licking mole was my w*r chancellor.

He was feeding information to Almaith.

I banished him to the underworld because of it.

I was so blind.

And yet your true blindness is still to come.

How's it going?

So far I've figured out that the broken dog bone is a "T."

Or an "L," or both.

We need to talk. It's important.

Lauren's upstairs injecting the others with my blood.

That's good, right?

Trick warned me that binding so many other people to me could cause me to change--

To turn Dark, like my mother.

As long as you don't turn beyotch--

Kenzi!

Are you listening?

Yes. Yes, I am.

If you see my start to lose it, you need to unbind the others right away.

No prob, Trick showed me the shortcut.

All I need to do is cut one of them, wrap the wound in gossamer.

If that doesn't work, you need to be prepared to do whatever is necessary.

You're freaking me out--

Oh, Kenz...

If you can't break the bond... you need to k*ll me.

You know writing laws in your blood carries unforeseen consequences.

There's another option.

I've sent word to Horvis, leader of the Dark Army.

We discussed this--

You know of our families' past friendship.

I'm certain I can convince him to return with me here, to broker a peace with you.

My mind is perfectly clear.

It's clearer than it's been in a long time.

It's the blood talking.

I am not going to take advantage of that.

As much as I would love to.

I did it!

The broken dog bone was an "F!"

What are you talking about?

I cracked the code.

I know where the Garuda's hiding.

It's an abandoned asylum the criminally insane.

The place is huge, Trick could be anywhere.

I think that the Garuda is keeping Trick here.

It's easily guarded with limited access.

Oh, I get it, so it's a death trap?

If the Garuda's victorious, you'll be lucky you d*ed early.

We'll split into teams, try to draw the enemy apart.
