01x03 - Episode 3

[bunniefuu]

There's a new witch in Manchester.

I'm here to see Domino.

Do you suspect her of performing

outlawed magic?

We don't know enough about her yet.

Bring her here. We need to get

a good look at this witch.

Argh!

I want answers.

So, what is she?

She's not just a witch.

You're a Lamia, love.

A Lamia? A f*cking monster.

Aaargh!

If she's breaking the rules, she

needs to be punished accordingly.

Them Elders will k*ll her.

You said Lamias are dangerous.

But there's another way!

Stay away from me.

Nothing can fix this.

I just need to be alone right now.

What's this other way?

Silas.

H How How are you here?

BUZZER

Domino! Silas, wait.

Domino, are you OK?!

Is this your ex? We never broke up.

I'm OK, Leon. You don't look OK.

We just have to talk.

Please.

OK.

If you need me, you holler me, yeah?

I'm just here. Mm-hm.

Yeah? Mm-hm.

BUZZER

DOMINO EXHALES

How did you even find me?

I'll tell you everything

..but not here.

LOUD MUSIC/CHEERING

Chug! Chug! Chug! Chug!

LOUD CHEER

I saw you in the library earlier.

Oh, did you?

Why are you acting like

you didn't see me?

I've caught you checking me out

a couple of times,

including just now.

I was staring you down.

Ah, so you do remember me.

But, yeah

Yeah, I was looking first.

Sorry.

I couldn't help it.

Oh, wow. What a line.

Drink?

Domino

Hey.

Erm, look, I'm wearing a red tee,

so, obviously, I'm taken.

And you're wearing one too, so

Yeah, yeah, I am wearing red,

cos, like you, I'm holding out

for something real.

Oh, so you've been watching me

THAT closely, then?

Mm-hm.

I mean, I know

..that you're a witch.

Don't worry, your secret's safe.

I'm a witch, too.

Prove it.

WHISPERS: Firidis.

Look down.

What the f*ck?

How how did you do that?

It's OK. No-one saw.

Can you make this green, too?

I'm guessing you don't

get out much, magically?

I have never met another

I have never met

another witch before.

Are there any others here?

No.

It's just us.

I still can't believe you thought

you were the only witch

in the world.

I just hid my magic.

Blended in.

I don't know. No-one really got me.

I get you.

You need to stop looking at me

like that.

Have you ever tried

the Silentium spell?

No.

What is that?

Silentium.

MUFFLED MUSIC

CLEAR MUSIC RETURNS

How did you do that?!

What's wrong? Nothing.

Your turn.

Visualise your intent.

Imagine it's pouring out

of your fingers

..reaching every person here

..and then say

.."Silentium".

Silentium.

MUFFLED MUSIC

Incredible.

On your first try.

What can I say? I've got skills.

DOMINO LAUGHS

Oh

How are you holding it so long?

You've bought us a lot of time, DD.

DOG BARKS

I can't believe this is happening.

I thought Lamias were extinct.

Well, apparently not.

There's one walking 'round Manny

right now. Oh, my God. At the club.

She must have fed off that guy.

She did more than feed

off the other guy.

It was like she made him disappear.

DOOR OPENS

What's What's going on?

Domino's a Lamia.

So, you know.

Cal knows, too.

MUFFLED: Aaargh!

We need to help her.

But there's something else.

She's not alone.

This is beyond us now.

Yeah. We need to catch her and

..hand her over to the Elders.

No! We need to protect her

from them.

Or they'll destroy our coven

if we don't.

Sammie's right.

My ancestors have found another way.

We're going to sever

Domino's magic.

You can't be serious?!

But it's the only way.

If we don't,

the Elders will k*ll her.

So this is where you've been hiding.

Well

..I stayed in our flat for days

..waiting for you to come back.

I didn't know what I'd done.

I didn't know what

was happening to me.

I tried everything to get you back.

To work out what I did,

to find out some kind of clue.

I was so scared.

I am always going to need to feed.

This is who I am now.

This is who I'll always be.

Erm

A monster, so

Why aren't you afraid of me?

You can't even begin

..to imagine

what you're capable of.

You're not a monster.

DD, you're exceptional.

You're beautiful.

And I only want you

to be who you are.

# I can feel your heartbeat

# Heartbeat, heartbeat

# You hate it that you love me

# Love me, love me

# We don't talk about it

but we know that you're mine

# It's OK, you're nervous,

it's obvious and you can't hide

# We're too close, I should go

# Don't let me drive home

# Take my soul, need control

now that we're alone

# I can feel your heartbeat

# Heartbeat, heartbeat

# You hate it that you love me

# Love me, love me

Love me ♪

'You can trust me.'

Make it stop.

Make it stop.

'You must know a way

to make it stop.'

We're not seriously considering

doing this, are we?

We know it's not the only way.

Yeahthat way is even worse.

This way, we're saving her life.

What are we supposed to do?

At this point we have to trust Kat.

So, what did your ancestors say?

Is that blood?

It's everything we need

for the Severance spell.

That's oleander. It's poisonous.

This is your specialism.

You know how to handle it.

This is going to take a while.

Can I speak to you first,

in private?

What happened when you disappeared?

Where did I send you?

I can't describe it.

It seemed to go on forever.

Like being trapped in the same day.

It was like time stood still.

How did you get back? No idea.

Last night, I just found myself

..back in our flat in London.

Things where so great between us.

Where did it go wrong?

There.

Done.

I can't believe you've

literally branded me.

Ah

Does it hurt?

No.

No? No.

What are you looking for?

Ow!

Vulnus? The Wound spell.

No. Oh No, way. Please?

Come on. No. It's too much.

At least let me try it.

You'll just hurt yourself.

It could be today's lesson.

DOMINO BREATHES DEEPLY

Vulnus capiendum

..abstergeo

Ooh.

Oh, sh*t.

I told you it was dangerous.

You can't just take the wound,

you have to heal it, too.

Vulnus capiendum

..abstergeo.

You areamazing.

Let's Let's keep going.

In a minute. Come on. If I had

your power, I'd never stop

Yeah, well, you don't, do you?

I am so sorry.

I'm so sorry.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.

I'm sorry.

You know you never actually told me

why your mum clipped your powers.

I did.

It was cos of a stupid

teenage prank.

But why?

Like, why would she do that?

Cos she's an Elder.

It's what she does.

I can barely make

a f*cking T-shirt green now.

DOMINO LAUGHS

That's why we don't talk.

I

I bet if you talked now,

that she would see reason.

You don't know Esme.

My bitch of a mother

loves holding my powers.

Don't let her intimidate you.

So, Domino is such an usual name.

Thanks.

Erm, I was left outside

a church as a baby

with just a domino in my basket.

So you have no idea who

your parents are? Mm-mm.

And what's your magical specialism?

You'll have to forgive Esme.

She confuses lunch

with an interrogation.

Well, I assume getting to

know Domino was the reason

that you requested

this extremely rare visit.

It was me that pushed for this,

actually, not him.

DD, don't waste your breath It

took him a lot to come here today.

He's really lost without his full

power. He told me what you did.

I mean, he does something silly

and you clip his powers?

Don't you think it's time to forgive

him and give him his magic back?

I think torturing

your history teacher

goes well beyond the realms

of "silly".

You told me it was a prank.

It was a prank.

I was 15.

Your teacher had a breakdown.

You broke the rules

and harmed the human.

Just because you're an Elder's son

does not mean that you receive

special treatment. Define "special"!

Why did you play it down?

Sorry.

Domino.

It was a pleasure to meet you.

Silas Silas! This was a mistake!

I am really sorry. I came here to

ask your mum for your powers back.

I'm on your side here.

You can never understand

what it's like without your

full powers. That is not fair.

Trying to make us play happy

families because you don't have one!

What was that? What did you?

I didn't Did I?

I didn't

Wait. Where are you going?!

Silas!

Why didn't you tell me

I was a Lamia?

I was just trying to understand it.

I, erm

..went to Cal's.

He opened your Grimoire.

Made for a very interesting read.

Could have f*cking k*lled me,

by the way!

You knew enough to tell me,

even back then.

You found out what I was

and wrote it all in your Grimoire.

Yes, and I still came back to you.

FRONT DOOR CLOSES

DOOR OPENS

What?

Where the f*ck have you been?!

I've been calling.

Talk to me.

Are you scared of me now?

I'm not scared, DD.

I've found a spell

..that you can do

to get my powers back.

Babe

Oh, you're

Are you locking your Grimoire now?

It's just a precaution.

I'll unlock it later.

How do you know I can do this spell?

Is it because of what happened

back at Esme's house?

Yep.

Think about it.

You

..and me. Mm-hm.

All of our powertogether.

Pfft

DOMINO LAUGHS

We could do anything.

I'm sorry.

Look, I I know how obsessed

I was with getting my magic back.

Look, I was missing

a part of myself.

You said you understood.

Wanted to help.

'Animus tactus'

..mihi solvatur,

potestas eius libere fluat.

Animus tactus mihi solvatur

..potestas eius libere fluat

Ooh

Why isn't it working?

We must be missing something.

Just try again.

Silas, look!

I don't think I can keep on

doing this any longer.

We just need to keep going.

Silas, it hurts.

It's like you only care

about my magic.

DD, you're being ridiculous.

What are you doing?

Just looking for the Vulnus spell

for my burnt as f*ck fingers!

Clausum.

What don't you want me to see?

Where are you going?!

Why are you making this about you?!

Just f*cking try again!

Let me go!

Argh!

Aargh!

DOMINO GASPS

All I wanted was to protect you,

even from yourself.

You should've told me!

I have been losing

my mind for weeks!

I've been having to feed off of

random guys because I didn't know!

But you did!

What you did to me,

I know you didn't mean it!

I know you didn't mean it.

What now?

Coffee.

And then we go back

to how things were.

Back to London?

Mm-hm.

But first

..we need to visit Esme.

I still need my powers back.

I know what we did wrong.

We need Esme's ring.

And we're back to that.

Don't you think you owe me this

after sending me away?

Where are you going?

I've got work.

Listen

..I've had a lot of time to think.

If I was powerful

..you could feed off of me.

If I'm unclipped

..you won't have to feed

off of anyone else ever again.

You don't have to run, DD.

We can make this work.

Silas, I need time to think.

Some space.

You can't stay here.

Silaslet me go.

Space.

Silas

..I mean it.

DOOR CLOSES

I know that.

She doesn't want to be a Lamia.

She told me.

Yeah, but she is.

But what if she could own

her power, though?

You know, use it for good?

What if she can't?

Think of the carnage.

Does Jules seem a bit off to you?

Her aura is really scared.

Jules, you OK?

Fine.

How much longer?

The blood's next.

POP MUSIC PLAYS

So, what kind of music do you want?

Erm I don't know.

Romantic stuff.

DOMINO LAUGHS

Just make sure you get

some Kehlani on there. Yeah.

Mm. Not bad.

Is that him? The ex?

No. That's the guy

I went on a date with.

Bloody hell, I can't keep up

with you. Sorry.

You'd better take five, then.

Thank you. But remember you're meant

to be kissing my arse, yeah? Yes.

For disappearing on me yesterday?

OK.

Hey. Hey.

Speed-dating event, yeah?

Yeah. It's something

different to the apps.

Have you got a minute? Can we talk?

Yeah. Yeah.

I'm really sorry about last night.

I really, like, didn't expect

my ex to turn up like that.

Yeah, I know.

I could tell you were shocked.

Me and Silas, we have a

Complicated history?

Yeah. Yeah, no, I get it.

I get it.

I mean, his vibe was off, though

..so I just wanted to check

you were OK.

Erm

I really, really do not want you

to get caught up in my bullshit.

See, that's the thing,

Domino, erm

..I mean, you say you're f*cked up

and no good to be around,

but I don't get that vibe from you.

I mean, you did come

to mine yesterday

with the worst-tasting drink ever.

THEY LAUGH

Because, well, I was hungover.

If you want, we can just hang out,

get to know each other a bit more,

and, erm, yeah, you know,

put the brakes on,

no rush, no pressure.

Thank you, actually. Yeah, that

would actually be really nice.

I'm ready.

Are you sure about this?

Kat?

What are you doing?

Argh!

Aaaargh!

Stop!

Sammie The potion calls

for the fingernails

of the witch who brews it.

Jules agreed to help.

What happened to discussing things?

It's OK. I wanted to help.

The Ancestors were clear.

I'm doing this to keep the coven

safe. Even if that were true,

you can't even see what

a hypocrite you're being!

You're embracing your Obeah again,

yeah? Reconnecting to your magic.

But you're forcing Domino

to disconnect from hers!

Witches and humans have to be

protected from her.

We have to protect her from herself.

But you're giving her no choice!

What are we going to do, Kat, hmm?

What? Shove that potion

down her throat?!

We're talking about severing

a witch from her power.

She'd lose a piece of herself.

She wouldn't be Domino any more.

You said so yourself -

she doesn't want to be a Lamia.

Look, Sammie

..sometimes a coven leader

has to make choices.

This is the only one where everyone

gets to walk away alive!

Do you remember when I met you?

I hated my aura magic.

I felt like a freak.

I was so alone.

But I came here.

You

You gave me a family.

And you told me that, erm,

reading auras was a gift.

That it's my purpose in this life.

Maybe being a Lamia is hers.

But you won't

You won't even give her a

..a chance.

I don't want to be a part

..of a coven

..that treats witches like that.

DOOR SLAMS

Three, two, one

ALL: B.Y.O.M.!

Fantastic. Oh, my God,

What are you? 12-years-old?

I just Literally a 12-year-old.

Yes, I am.

Right, we're one down.

All the men are here, but one of

the women hasn't showed. Oh, sh*t.

No. No way.

You did walk out on me yesterday.

Ooh, I don't think

you can say no to that.

If you'd like to take a seat, madam.

Here you go, madam.

Time flies when you're

DOMINO LAUGHS

Oh, my goodness.

The next table might be the one.

Ooh. Thank you. It's all right.

Thanks again. It's my pleasure.

Erm, is there anything else

I can do to help?

Nah, you're good. Head off.

It's OK.

What are you doing here?

I came here to warn you.

Kat's coming with a spell.

You wouldn't have to feed any more

but you'd have to give up

your magic.

You wouldn't be you any more.

Oh, f*ck. Domino?

Domino?

Domino?

Oh, you need to feed.

Feed on me Feed on me.

I don't want to hurt you.

You won't.

You won't. I trust you.
