I have done things tonight that

I never knew that I was capable of.

She's breaking the rules and she

needs to be punished accordingly.

What do you know about my mum?

I know she k*lled your dad.

I never want to see you again.

DOOR SLAMS

I just wanted to check you were OK.

I want to give up my magic.

I consent.

I just wanted to say thank you

again.

Are you sure you're all right?

I'm sure.

So we're going to catch her

and we're going to k*ll her.

We're going to k*ll Domino Day.

SOULFUL MUSIC PLAYS

I love it!

And do you know when the pastry's

proper flaky, like Mm! Aww!

A good Jamaican patty is I can't

remember the last time I had one.

What?! Oh, my God.

That's so sad!

There's actually this really good

Caribbean place

in the Northern Quarter. You been?

Yeah, but I haven't been able

to get one in ages.

Domino, are you OK?

Yeah. I'm fine.

You sure I can't walk you home?

No.

I'm not ready to go to bed.

Yeah, you don't seem sleepy.

But, if you're tired

Me tired? Yeah, YOU tired!

Nah! I've got my some sugar in me

now, so I'm good!

Actually,

I want to show you something.

Come with me.

Why do you look so suspicious?!

I like to come up here

when I need to think.

When it all gets a bit too much,

you know, sometimes you just need

to be still and just

You got any special places

you go to?

I haven't even started exploring

this city yet.

Why?

What's stopping you?

I don't know.

Life.

Yeah.

HE SIGHS

Do you th

..do you think we inherit all

this sh*t from our parents? Like

..we don't have a choice

in who we are?

Erm

Yeah, I think

I got my patience from my dad.

I mean, he would say dance moves,

but, yeah, he can't even two-step,

so I don't listen to him!

What about your mum?

Yeah, erm

Yeah, she, um

..d*ed while having me.

Oh, my God, I'm so sorry.

Yeah, erm, it's OK.

My dad, erm

..told me when I was older.

It's like,

she gave her life for mine.

You know, that kind of sh*t can

just f*ck you up for years.

And I was all kinds of messed up

and, bless my dad, you know,

he tried to support me,

and I love him,

but depression ain't a thing

we talk about in my family. Mm.

I never knew my mum either.

She left meas a baby,

with only a domino piece.

Domino. Right.

I've actually kept hold of it

this

..this whole time,

um,

you know, hoping that it would give

me some sort of clue as to who I am.

But now I just want to throw it

off this rooftop.

I found out some things about her

today.

Awful things.

I don't know what to believe.

Mm.

I'm just really scared

that I'm like her.

And you know what? I do feel

like we can choose who we are.

I also feel like you can choose

how you carry that domino piece.

Yeah, I mean,

we have our bad stuff,

but that's just being human.

Yeah. I think I'm still trying

to work out this human thing!

THEY LAUGH

Thanks for bringing me up here.

It's my pleasure.

Katrina.

GASPS

Oh, Esme. Oh, you surprised me.

Seems like surprises

are order of the day, no?

I'm sorry?

Are you?

What for?

Domino.

There now.

That really wasn't so difficult,

was it?

I wanted to prove I could handle it.

And how would you say that's going?

I didn't know she was

A Lamia?

And a m*rder*r?

So you've been keeping that from me

as well?

You discovered a Lamia,

and it didn't occur to you

to let me know?

I'm sorry.

I thought I could deal with it.

Looks like we both

overestimated you.

KATRINA GASPS

What else are you not telling me?

Nothing.

I I don't

Don't lie to me!

All I'm asking from you is

information.

Esme, there's nothing more.

You know everything I know.

KATRINA SQUEALS

You have no idea how serious this

is.

For the sake of your coven,

you need to bring her to me.

Understood?!

SHE SNIFFS

Leon! Yo.

Hello. Find it all right?

Mm-hm.

Hey. Hello.

This place is really cool!

Yeah? Yeah.

Found us the perfect spot.

OK. So I

..brought you something exciting

for breakfast.

Is that what I think it is?

ErmI think it is.

Oh, my gosh. I think it is!

Thank you!

THEY LAUGH

I hope I got the right pastry.

Esme knows Domino's a Lamia!

She's ordered us to turn her in.

She said what?! She att*cked you?!

And she knows Domino k*lled Cal.

f*ck. And we've been covering

for her! She was vicious.

So, what did you say? Did you tell

her about the severance? No!

No, no, I didn't say anything.

How did she find out

that Domino was a Lamia?

But she isn't a Lamia now? Right?

No! It doesn't matter.

At this point,

we're all on the chopping block.

When you say chopping block,

what do you mean exactly?

Esme isn't who you think she is.

My Ancestors were right

about the Elders.

They fear what they can't control.

Theythey lash out at difference.

Unless we bring her Domino

..she'll destroy us.

Erm, guess what I brought with me.

Oh, my God, what?! Oh, my God!

Is that it? Yeah.

Let me see.

OK, so it's my choice

how I carry it, right?

Yeah.

So, now it is my good-luck charm.

Nice.

It's nice.

Thank you.

What would your dream be,

if you could do anything

or go anywhere?

I really want to open

my own tattoo studio.

Yeah? Yeah.

Like, with lots of, um, plants

and sketches and art on the wall.

There'll be cool vibes

playing all day.

Hey, listen, book me in!

OK, what about you?

What do you want to do?

Erm, I'd love to run

my own restaurant.

Yeah? Yeah.

Like, not just cocktails,

but good food. OK.

Yeah, started learning

about my mum's heritage recently.

And, um, she's Haitian Mm-hm.

..and that food just packs

so much flavour.

And then I'd have like a

a stage in the corner

so my musicians and poets

can do their thing,

while people yam their joumou soup.

Yeah, and then, um,

yeah, I might even have a little

place out back

for you to tat people.

Soup and tattoos?

Yeah. Is that athing?

I'm serious!

I'm serious!

Like, what's stopping us?

Um, yeah

Hey, listen, we could even, um

We could set up right here

in the Northern Quarter.

Um, yeah. Wait. Wait, better still -

Hey.

ON PHONE: Hi, Domino. I know you're

not meant to be working today,

but I've had a family emergency.

Can you open up?

Yeah, sure. Is everything OK?

I've just spent all night

in hospital - total nightmare.

Oh, my God, what happened?

I'll tell you when I get there.

I need to speak to my mum

I'll come and take over as soon as

I can.

Is she OK?

ErmI don't know,

but she needs me to open BYOM.

Oh Yeah, no, of course.

Erm, no, leave everything to me,

I don't really know,

No rush. Are you sure? Yeah.

I need some set-up time anyway.

I might sell all your things.

THEY LAUGH

Bye.

And that is absolutely everything?

There's nothing you're holding back

out some kind of

..twisted sense of loyalty?

I owe her nothing.

You were in a relationship with her.

Didn't you pay attention

to anything she did or said?!

Why don't you go ask

your Elder mates?

How many times do I have to tell

you? We're doing this ourselves.

To be the witch that kills a Lamia,

it will make me untouchable.

Us.

If you're going to catch a Lamia

without the Elders, you'll need me.

You have no idea

the sort of power

you are dealing with.

I've seen her at her most powerful.

Trust me,

you do not want to get her angry.

PHONE ALER

SHE CHUCKLES

Domino trusts me.

I can just walk into her flat

and get her to come with me.

She loves me.

She could have given you

your powers back at any time,

but she didn't.

I did that for you.

Yeah, and now I've got them back,

I can do this.

Absolutely not!

You are not to go near her.

Do you understand?

We need to set a trap.

That's how you k*ll a Lamia -

not by going in all g*ns blazing.

I wouldn't go

Listen to me!

We need to be meticulous.

We're using Kat's coven

to lure her in. Yeah.

You're the boss.

Black Americano. Thank you.

Sammie

..I have been thinking

about the past few days and

..really, I I'm so sorry.

I almost k*lled you. And, er

I don't know how I'm going to

make that up to you.

Well, you could start by bringing me

one of these every day.

Seriously, though,

you saved me,

and we're both here now.

We're good.

I know what it's like

to feel like an outsider.

So, um, what's it like, then,

not being a witch?

Er

It'smostly a relief.

Mostly?

Something just feels

a little bit off. Mm-hm.

Mm, yeah.

I suppose you need some time

to adjust.

DOOR OPENS

So, what about you and Vedita?

Look, they're going to be here

later. You should stick around.

OhI I'm not convinced

that humans and witches can

ever make it work, so

Yeah, butyou never know

if you don't give it a chance.

Well, you don't have that problem

any more, do you?

Hi. Hello. Sorry, can I help you?

Can I get a flat white? Thanks.

Domino?

PHONE VIBRATES

sh**t.

Silas, where the f*ck are you?!

Er, I'm in a bar,

getting wasted, taking dr*gs.

Silas How's it going?

Kat any use to you?

Has she set your trap?

She was a disappointment.

Of course she was.

Should have listened to me.

So, we go to Plan B, then.

I round her up.

No. I told you to stay away.

Silas?

Silas? Yeah. I've got to run.

I never realised

how heavy these things were!

Ooh! Oh, thank you.

Thank you so much.

Hey, no need to thank me.

What happened? Er

Um, it was my brother.

He was att*cked. Oh, my God.

Oh. Hi. Hi. Your poor brother.

That is awful.

Is he OK? Er

He's still in the hospital.

He can't remember much,

but whatever's happened,

it's triggered his epilepsy.

The police found him unconscious,

so they thought he was drunk,

but he doesn't drink.

Where was he?

They found him on the street.

I mean, who the f*ck does

something like that?

Um

ReallyI'm really sorry.

It's not your fault, is it?

Been trying to explain it

to his little fella all morning.

I mean, who the f*ck does

something like that?

Er, er, probably a, a mugger.

Yeah, but they didn't take anything.

And what are the police saying?

f*ck all.

Looking through CCTV, apparently.

STEAM HISSES

Ah!

What are you doing?!

Put some cold water on it!

Yeah.

Ah!

You OK?

Yeah, I'm fine.

If you say so.

Look, do you want to head?

It is your day off, after all.

My mum will call if anything

changes. Sure?

As long as you're going to stay.

Er, yeah. Yeah.

Let me know if there's anything else

I can do to help.

Cheers, love, you've done enough.

I hope Krish is OK.

Mrs Reade?

Not now.

I'm sorry to bother you,

but yourvisitor has returned.

Ivan.

I'm assuming you've had a change

of heart and now wish to help me.

I'm so sorry, Esme.

WHISPERS: No.

By order of the Elder Council

No!

..I hereby brand you on trial

for gross negligence,

leading to the death of Cal Hallard.

How could you? How could you?!

I tried to give you more time,

but they already knew.

Did they? Did they now?

So now I look guilty by association.

Yeah, of course,

you're the real victim here!

You'll be stripped of your position

and your powers permanently severed.

SHE MOANS

You look like you could use a break.

SHE SIGHS

Yeah.

This stuff with Krish

kept me up most of the night.

You know, me and my mum thought

that was it.

Hey, beautiful.

What do you need?

Hmm? How can I help?

I think, er, that's a bit above

and beyond for a one-night stand.

Sure you've got better things to do.

What can I say? I've got

a thing for damsels in distress.

Well

how about a damsel

who needs a drink?

Yeah. OK.

You and Domino are close, right?

Er

She's just a mate.

I like her.

But it's like she's hiding

something,

keeping me at arm's length.

Oh? Yeah.

She keeps, erm, running away

..disappearing.

I swear something's off.

I'm sure your brother

is going to be OK.

What the f*ck?

I see it didn't take you very long

to make yourself at home.

How did you get in?

How did YOU get in?

Actually, never mind.

You need to get the f*ck out.

Look, man

Look, we,

we don't have to do this.

You shouldn't be here.

Look, I don't know what the

hell's going on,

but this is pretty f*cked up,

you turning up in her flat like

this, yeah? She broke up with you.

Did she tell you that we f*cked

the other night,

when we left your place?

Yeah.

There's a lot of things you don't

know about Domino Day.

Yeah.

You need to leave now.

Never been a bit sus?

All of her excuses?

You ever had any weird headaches?

Memory loss?

MAN: Don't think

I didn't see you with him.

If I f*cking ever see you doing that

again, do you hear me?

You are f*cking gone.

She's a witch, mate.

And so am I.

What the f*ck are you talking about?

Come on,

you need you to leave now.

You're pathetic!

She's left you,

so just leave her alone!

I didn't do anything.

Don't you f*cking lie to me.

I'm not lying!

Don't f*cking lie!

I'm telling the truth.

I'm going to show you

just how pathetic you really are.

Do you hear me?! Oi!

Don't f*cking make me do that again!

Yeah?

Leave her alone!

Back off, you bitch!

What are you doing, you freak?!

Come on. What the f*ck?!

f*ck off!

Come on.

Go on!

Leave us alone!

It isn't your business.

HE STRAINS AND GROANS

Please.

I'm sorry. You better had be sorry.

Argh!

Ah, ah, ah.

Argh!

Who's pathetic now?

f*ck you!

Leon?

Silas. DD.

What are you doing here?!

Why are you bleeding?

What's going on?

Er, I came to find you.

DD, Esme's looking for you.

OK, you've got to come with me.

I got my powers back.

I can protect you.

What? How did you

get your powers unclipped?

Silas, did you tell your mum

that I k*lled Cal?

What the f*ck have you done to him?

I just

You can just heal him.

OK, just

Just do what you do.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

No, you can just fix him!

I can't fix him.

I don't have my magic any more.

I asked the coven to

sever my powers.

The coven did what?

Oh, my God. Oh, my God.

Oh, my God. Oh, my God.

Leon.

Silas.

Silas. Silas!

WEAKLY: Silas

Oh, my God. Oh, my God.

Oh, no.

Oh, no!

PHONE BUZZES

Sorry.

Domino.

OK.

I'm coming.

Yeah.

Yeah, yes.

Hey, sorry, I've got to go.

Er, there's been an emergency.

Is Domino all right? Er

No, but, erm

I've just I've got to go.

Wait. I'll, er

I'll come with you.

Er, no. She'll be fine.

I just need to go.

Seriously, the caff's shut anyway.

You can't!

Sammie

I'm sorry.

I'll see you later.

DOOR CREAKS

It, it

It wasn't my fault.

What happened?

DOMINO WHIMPERS

He's dead, Sammie.

He is, isn't he?

I

II can't see his aura.

I should never have let him

into my life.

It's not your fault, OK?

He's dead.

If I can reverse

the severance spell,

I might be able to bring him back.

Domino, the severance spell,

you can't reverse it.

No, no, we need to go

to your coven.

I need my magic.

There has to be a way.

I'm so sorry.

Who did this to him?

Silas. He has his powers back.

I need to fix it.

This is exactly why

I clipped you in the first place.

You've had your powers

back for less than a day.

No-one can prove that it was me.

He could've just fallen.

30 years of my life

I've dedicated to this ward.

If the Elders think they're going

to charge me with this as well

I can't protect you this time,

Silas.

It's not my fault that that arsehole

got aggressive with me!

If Domino hadn't got herself

severed,

she could've brought him back.

She didn't even try.

What did you say?

Exactly. If you think about it,

Domino is the one that

messed it all up No.

You said that she's been severed?

Yes.

So, the Lamia is effectively

defenceless?

Please, Kat.

You consented to severance.

Powers aren't like a coat you can

just take on and off.

I know I asked for severance.

I know I tried to run

away from everything.

But I feel so helpless.

Without my magic,

I can't protect myself.

I couldn't protect Leon.

Silas is dangerous.

He told Esme I k*lled Cal.

I can protect us all.

I just, I have to get my powers

back.

Please.

OK. But I can't promise anything.

We take her powers.

A syphon? Isn't that illegal?

Domino's powers,

combined with my own,

I could write my own laws.

Domino doesn't have her powers.

Severance doesn't remove the powers.

It just arranges things

so the witch can't access them.

Is that going to be enough?

No.

Not on its own.

But with the help of the

Banished

Dark spirits,

trapped in the Endless,

banished by the Lamia.

They'll be only too happy to help me

relieve the last

Lamia of her magic.

I am an Obeah woman

..guided by my ancestors.

I call on you.

I invite you to this realm.

I give you gifts for comfort.
