02x08 - Irons in the Fire

[bunniefuu]

[lively instrumental music playing]

[sweeping orchestral music playing]

[birds chirping]

[music continues]

[clanging]

[sizzling]

Mom says you ought to take a break.

Grab the next.

Agh! [pants]

[Kn*fe sharpener whirring]

[man 1] I'm no good at it.

[man 2] You're not patient.
That's different.

Perhaps your gifts
weren't passed on to me.

- [laughs]
- [man 1] It's true.

w*r rages all around us,

and all I can contribute
is stacking weapons

made and wielded by better men.

So what purpose do I serve in this world?

You will find your calling, my son.

Now, back to it.

[grunting]

[sighs]

[men speaking indistinctly]

[horse neighing]

[footsteps approaching]

[dog barking]

[Captain speaking indistinctly]

- [man] Father, there's...
- I know!

I need you to sneak out and run into town.
Alert Captain Crais and his...

- There's too many of them. You need...
- Do as I say! Go!

Peter! What is it?

[Peter] King's soldiers.
Hide in Miranda's room.

Do not come out no matter what.

[panting]

Open up!

What do you want?

Well, good evening.

You must be Peter Locke.

And you are?

Captain Frederick Gideon
of the Crown's 23rd Infantry.

[chuckles]

Rumor has it

that you're manufacturing colonial weapons

and stockpiling t*rror1st armaments
on your property.

We thought we'd come
and have a look around.

Rumors are ugly things, Captain.

My family's asleep.

So I'm going to ask you to leave. [grunts]

[groans]

Shame on you for your bad manners,
not even inviting me in for a cup of tea!

[grunts]

Did you not hear
that I'm an officer of your king?

[choking]

Search the house!

[redcoat] You heard him. Let's go.

You two, with me.

Spread out over everything.

We're looking for weapons!

- [shouting indistinctly]
- [groaning]

- [panting]
- [woman screaming]

Oh God! [sobbing]

Look what we found
along with eight barrels of gunpowder

and stolen British g*ns in the attic.

You and the men help yourselves
to their belongings.

- [Peter] No!
- [Captain] We'll load it in the wagons.

[Peter] No!

Leave it to one of His Majesty's officers
to steal what's not rightfully his!

[groans]

- Oh, Peter!
- I take care of my men.

- [groans]
- [women scream]

Peter!

And my men take care of me.

[groaning]

[lively instrumental music playing]

Anyone get any rest?

[smacking lips] Yeah.

Me either.

Why doesn't Gabe come after us?

'Cause he's probably gonna
build an army first, turn more people.

We need to warn our friends.

All the Savinis,
anyone who knows about the keys,

before they get turned.

Maybe they can help us
get the key away from him.

If Gabe's out there making more demons,
we can't just go over there unprotected.

- I'll wear the Hercules belt.
- I can take the Matchstick Key.

What about me?

- You're going to school.
- [Bode] What?

Are you kidding me? No way.

Look, we're gonna be armed,
and there isn't another key for you.

- Your school is safest. He won't go there.
- What about Mom?

I'll watch out for her.

- I can't just sit in class!
- Yeah, you can.

- Why can't I come?
- We said no. Stop pushing.

- It's not fair!
- Hey! What's going on?

Oh, just a little spirited
morning conversation.

We're gonna be late. Coming, Kins?

Yeah, just let me grab my stuff.

Okay.

What was that all about?

Normal teenage stuff.
It's nothing to worry about.

Hey, don't blow me off here, Duncan.

[sighs] Kinsey's having problems
with Gabe.

Bode's upset because he and Gabe are buds,

so Tyler and I,
just running some interference.

Well, is she okay?

I think so. She didn't get too specific.

Teenagers don't like talking to adults
about this kind of stuff.

No, but they do wanna
talk to you about it.

I'm the "funcle." What can I tell you?

It's fine, Nina.

Please don't worry.

Look, I'm waiting
on some parts for the GTO.

I've got nothing to do.

Maybe I can help.

Need an intern at the theater today?

Sure. I mean, if you really want to.

[inhales deeply]

I have always wanted an intern.

Great! How do you take your coffee?

[Nina chuckles]

[tense music playing]

[music intensifies]

[brakes squeaking]

[ominous music playing]

[door closes]

[mysterious music playing]

[Gabe] Go ahead, eat.

[munching]

I guess I missed the invite to brunch.

Luckily, your new errand boy drives a car
that you can see from space. [scoffs]

What are you doing here, Eden?

I'm willing to forgive and forget the fact
that you abandoned me at Keyhouse,

seeing as we are partners.

- We're nothing.
- [Eden] Are you serious?

You only have that key
because I helped you.

It's basically half mine.

[inhales deeply] I disagree.

And so do they.

[laughs]

This is your army?

You could have turned
half this town by now.

I'm not gonna waste this gift
on just anyone.

- [scoffs]
- See all these demons?

They're all helpful,
compliant, and obedient.

Whereas you, Eden,

you're insignificant to me.

[Eden] Fine.

You do your thing, and I'll do my thing.

And I'll be sure to tell Kinsey
that you say "hi"

right before I snap her neck.

[chuckles]

You might wanna think twice
about whether or not you wanna do that.

Run along.

["Tide" by NIKI playing]

I have real work to do.

Mm-hmm.

["Tide" continues playing]

♪ Tide is high, moon is drunk ♪

♪ Vessels sailed, sailors sunk ♪

♪ Waves of sound, sea of sharks ♪

♪ Catch you off your guppy guard ♪

Are we gonna be able to pull this off?

If he's already turned a bunch of people...

What choice do we have?

[police siren chirps]

[siren wailing]

sh*t. I didn't do anything.

Pull over.

♪ Hook you smooth
While they pat you on the back ♪

It's Mutuku.

Hey, Detective Mutuku.

Tyler and Kinsey Locke.
Been a while. How've you been?

We're fine. Did I...
Did I do something wrong?

Well, that depends.

Do you really think you can stop him?

Oh my God.

- He's waiting for you.
- Drive!

[tires screeching]

[engine revving]

[Howe] Where should
we put the g*ns, Captain?

- [Captain] In the wagon. Gunpowder too.
- [Howe] Aye, Captain.

[women sobbing]

[Howe] Careful with that.

[woman] No!

- [Howe] Be careful with that. It's powder.
- [women sobbing]

[Howe] More r*fles.

Stow that away.

That's the lot of it, sir.

Good, just one more thing to do.

[woman] No.

- What's he doing? Peter, what's he doing?
- [Peter] No! No!

- Have you no mercy!
- [sobbing]

[Captain] Good.

- I think I'll start with this one.
- No! No!

- [woman sobbing] No! No!
- [Peter] No!

No!

[groaning]

[Captain] Take cover!

[woman screaming]

Surround them!

[shouting indistinctly]

[man] Find cover!

Return fire!

All redcoats, move off the line!

[wife gasps]

[groans]

Fall back! To the horses! Go!

[redcoat] Move! Move! Fall back! Man down!

Benjamin!

[panting]

- [grunts]
- Well done, son.

[Howe] Let's go!

Give me your Kn*fe.

[redcoat 1] Behind the bales!

[redcoat 2] Captain, let's go!

- [Captain grunts]
- [yelling]

Push harder.

- You can do it.
- [grunts]

- [gasps]
- You can do it!

- [Peter grunting]
- Yah!

- [Peter grunting]
- Or perhaps...

you cannot.

- [groaning]
- [gasps]

And worst of all,

your death will mean nothing.

- [Kn*fe twists]
- [Peter grunts]

Captain! There's too many! We need to go!

- [Crais] Got them on the run!
- [Howe] Cover the captain.

[sobbing] Peter, no! Peter!

[sobbing]

- [man] They're getting away!
- [Captain] Retreat!

[women sobbing]

- Father.
- [Peter] I'm sorry.

[both sobbing]

Get after them!

[Minuteman] We're loaded!

They're heading for the main trail!

[somber music playing]

[minuteman shouting indistinctly]

- [Captain] Whoa. Whoa.
- [horse snorting]

- Yah!
- [horse neighing]

[waves crashing]

[mysterious music playing]

[exhales]

[waves crashing]

[music continues]

We'll get above the tide line,

hide out till they finish their search.

[suspenseful music playing]

[dramatic music playing]

[Crais] Yah! Yah!

They must've come this way.

[music continues]

[Crais] Spread out.

You see anything?

[Benjamin] Fresh heel prints.

[minuteman] They must be this way. Look.

They can't be far.

Where to now?

- [Captain] Quiet.
- What is that?

[rhythmic hissing]

[tense music playing]

[rumbling]

[loud cracking]

[rumbling]

What in God's name?

[rumbling]

[dramatic music playing]

What is this?

[blast]

- [object whizzing]
- [metallic clink]

[indistinct whispering]

[Crais] They must have gone this way.

Captain.

- They found us.
- Then we'll make our stand here.

[tense music playing]

What are we witnessing?

[exhales]

[music continues]

[music intensifies]

Careful, they're here! Duck!

I'm heading to school.

Oh my God.
I didn't realize how late it was.

- You want me to make you breakfast?
- [Jamie] I had cereal.

What's all this?

[smacking lips] Oh, uh, I'm going through
the Keyhouse ledger that Nina gave me,

cross-referencing some things on this map,

trying to understand where things were,
what's still around...

Oh, nerd stuff.

Incredible nerd stuff.

- Love you.
- Love you too.

Have a good day at school.

[playful music playing]

Bye!

Bye!

[birds chirping]

So Gabe is Dodge?

Eden being a demon
really is not that surprising.

Try and take this from me.

Demons can't take keys from Lockes.

[suspenseful music playing]

[sighs]

I can't!

JK. Yoink!

Really?

[music continues]

I knew I wasn't a demon,
but I'm still relieved. [chuckles]

[laughs]

Okay, now that I know
that you're all still you,

we have to find Gabe
and get his Demon Key away from him

before he turns anyone else.

He's already got Javi.

What if a demon comes after us?

You have to take them out.

As in "take them out"?

Pretty much.

But...

What if we know them?

If Gabe turned them,
you don't know them anymore,

and you do not wanna end up like them.

Grab the heaviest thing you can.
Swing it hard.

Okay, this is getting Romero as hell.

Wait, I feel like I've been
training my whole life for this.

I mean, but this is real life.
Not a movie.

This is very real. And these demons
are supernaturally strong.

But they're not invincible.

Wait. So, I mean, if we k*ll Gabe,
do the rest of them die too?

They're not vampires, Doug.

I understand, but maybe
the same principles apply.

They have to be k*lled one by one,
and Gabe's an echo.

He can't be k*lled by force.

Great. So what are we supposed
to do about him?

Let me know if you see him,
but stay far away from him.

Okay, that's a reasonable plan.

If anyone sees Gabe or Eden
or Javi or anything weird,

call me, text me immediately.

All right, let's do this.

[sighs]

Man, I really liked Javi.

[Tyler] Me too.

- Until he tried to k*ll my family.
- Fair point.

- Morning.
- Morning.

What you got there?

I, uh...

found this weird key in my house.
You wanna... You wanna see it?

[suspenseful music playing]

Pretty cool.

What's it open? [sighs]

[sighs] Maybe someday we'll find out.

Well, I'm gonna stop for coffee on the way
to class. You guys want anything?

- Nah, I'm good.
- Okay.

Can you help me
keep an eye on her today? She, um...

She can't understand any of this.

Of course.

Yo, Jackie! Wait up!

Everything all right?

So far.
No sign of Gabe, but, um... [smacks lips]

...he got to Mutuku.

- What?
- [Tyler] Yeah.

Mom still thinks Mutuku's her friend.

If you see him, keep her away.

[indistinct chatter]

[sighs]

[typing]

Phones away.

[screen lock clicks]

Hey.

Thanks.

[Jamie] So what happens now?

[sighs] Tyler and Kinsey
are working on it.

[phone buzzing]

[typing]

- Hey!
- You can have it back at recess.

Give it back now!

Excuse me? Do you wanna take it up
with the principal?

- No. Don't say anything else.
- [students murmuring]

I'm sorry.

[teacher] Okay. Everyone,
take out your math worksheets.

[mysterious music playing]

[Josh] "Captain Frederick Gideon

was apprehended by Captain Crais
and his men

after an intense skirmish
in a nearby sea cave."

[Captain] I've opened a gateway
between the two worlds.

A portal to the beyond
that mere mortals cannot comprehend.

While my fate is likely sealed,

I implore you,

find this place

and let the staggering power
of the other realm

wash over this flawed world.

[breathing deeply]

[grunts]

[grunts]

[exhales]

[Crais] Frederick Gideon,

for your multitude of crimes
of which you were found guilty,

the people of Massachusetts Bay Colony
have sentenced you to death.

[Benjamin] You were a monster
before you went into that cave.

I don't have a word for what you are now.

Well, I am only the beginning, boy.

Others from my world will follow,

then rip your world apart!

- [gasps]
- Enough! Drop him.

- [laughing]
- [sobbing]

- Don't look.
- [sobbing]

[bystanders murmuring]

[solemn music playing]

[Josh] "Captain Gideon,

guilty of crimes including as*ault,

theft, arson,

and the m*rder of Peter Locke."

[somber music playing]

[door opens, closes]

Ready for the first coat, boss?

[chuckles]

Just about.

[Duncan] Are you okay?

I... I'm just

in a weird place right now.

[chuckles uneasily]
Things with Josh went south,

and, uh, the kids are pulling away.

I don't think they mean to.

I just know how this goes.

It's a cycle with me.

I feel...

disconnected and... and lonely,

and it just drives me
to wanna take a drink.

What can I do to help?

[sighs] It's good for me
to focus on something else.

So, uh, yeah,
let's get back to it. [laughs]

I'll... I'll grab the rollers.

[suspenseful music playing]

[footsteps approaching]

[Zadie] Oh my God!

[sighs]

[phone chiming]

Hey.

[Zadie on phone] Scot? We just saw Javi.

He's headed through the courtyard
towards the Reynolds building.

- Yeah, I got him. I'll tell Kinsey.
- [Zadie] Okay.

[sighs]

[Kinsey] Hey.

[Scot] He's going
to the Reynolds building.

Headed there now.

[Jamie] What's wrong?

What if something bad happened
to one of us?

My mom can't remember magic,
so she'd blame herself.

It's not fair.

Mrs. Lafferty, you said
I could have my phone back at recess.

No more texting during class, Bode.

Cover for me, okay?

Cover for you? What are you doing?

[phone buzzing]

[tense music playing]

Javi's on campus. I gotta go.

- Anything I can do?
- [Tyler] Uh...

Stay with her.

[music continues]

[indistinct chatter]

[music intensifies, ends]

[game beeping]

Uh... Oh God.
Uh, what do I do? What do I do?

Um...

Okay. [sighs]

All right, a-hole. Let's do this.

[suspenseful music playing]

[music intensifies]

Yeah! You don't want
any part of me, do ya?

Knew those Krav Maga classes
would pay off!

[frantic orchestral music playing]

[grunts, pants]

- Are you okay?
- Better now. Whoa, look out!

[grunting]

[yelling]

[grunts]

- [grunts]
- [groans]

[Kinsey] No!

- Get off me!
- Let her go!

- [all grunting]
- [Kinsey grunts, pants]

[Javi] Let's go.

- [Kinsey yelling] No!
- [Scot grunting]

[Kinsey and Scot grunting]

[grunting, panting]

- Hey, Kins.
- What do you want from me?

Isn't that obvious?

I want you to join me.

[sweeping orchestral music playing]

Then just get it over with!

No, I want you to choose it.

How could you think
that I would ever choose to be one of you?

It would be so much better
for you to want it.

That will never happen.

[grunts] Just let her go, Gabe! [pants]

Let her go! [panting]

Let her go, and...

you can turn me instead.

- Sure, we can turn you next.
- No.

- No! No!
- [Scot] It's okay.

[Kinsey] No! No!

It's not really a negotiation.

Leave him alone! Get off me!

No! [grunting]

Welcome to the dark side.

[Kinsey] No!

[panting] No!

[grunting] No!

- [fire alarm sounding]
- [grunting]

[door opens]

- [indistinct chatter]
- [female voice] False alarm!

- Run!
- Running!

[fire alarm continues]

Bode! What are you doing here?

Uh, I saw that you guys were in trouble,
so I pulled the fire alarm.

- That was you?
- Yeah.

[Scot and Kinsey chuckle]

Where's Javi?

With Gabe and some minions.
They're all over the place.

We gotta get out of here.

No, I can't just leave Jackie here.
I'll go get her. I'll meet you at home.

No, no, no. Come on. We gotta go.

Okay, come on.

[fire alarm continues]

- All right, what's going on?
- [sighs] I don't even know where to begin.

Tyler?

[sinister music playing]

Afraid not.

We should check on the kids.

Kinsey just sent a text. Apparently,
it's some sort of prank. [chuckles]

Oh, okay.

[ominous music playing]

I think it's a pretty good excuse
to call it a day, don't you?

- Should we try to find the kids first?
- Uh, no.

She said that
they're gonna meet us at home.

Okay.

[tense music playing]

[Tyler] Jackie!

Logan!

- [Jackie] Hey!
- [footsteps approaching]

Hey!

- You okay?
- I'm fine.

[sighs]

[breathes deeply]

Clearly, I'm missing something
because you and Logan are acting weird.

Can we please get out of here?

Sure, just, uh...

Can you do me a favor?

Just, uh...

take this key out of my hand.

You already showed me that this morning.

Yeah, just... just take it,
and then we can go.

I don't know what's going on with you,
but you're kind of freaking me out.

Jackie, take the key.

[solemn music playing]

[sighs]

Sorry, lover.

I can't do that.

[dramatic music playing]

No.

Tyler, this is gonna happen to you too.

You need to accept that.

Trust me.

It'll be so much easier
if you don't fight this.

And think of how happy we'll be together.

[Logan] Ty! [grunts]

[groans]

Ty!

Don't listen to her, man.
He turned her into a psycho, demon chick.

[screaming]

[fire blazing]

Let's get outta here!

[demonic roar]

[Miranda] I've read
about strange phenomena,

but nothing like this.

We have to find some way to contain it.

We cannot do it through normal means.

[Miranda] It scares me.

Yet I'm drawn to it.

[bubbling]

- Careful!
- [blast]

[whizzing, metallic clink]

[indistinct whispering]

[whispering continues]

This is what Gideon and one of his men
were struck by.

Do you hear that?

The whispering?

No.

[whispering continues]

This strange metal is whispering to me.

- What is it saying?
- [Benjamin] I don't know.

But it's calling to me.

[exhales]

[footsteps approaching]

[suspenseful music playing]

[eerie music playing]

[Eden] Late night?

Eden, what are you doing here?
It's past curfew.

You know, I had a feeling
there was something different about you.

You got way too pissed
when someone stole your artifact.

Okay, I'm going home now,
and you should do the same.

But you're so close
to finding out the answer

of where that little metal lump came from.

So close to

this.

This is what you're looking for, right?

This portal?

What could you possibly know about this?

[chuckles] Well, for starters,

I know that the portal is in a sea cave,

and I know where the sea cave is located.

Okay, where is it?

I could take you there.

But first, I need you
to do something for me.

Something that will benefit
both of us, actually.

What?

Your portal,

it's behind a locked door.

I need you to get me the key
that opens it.

Just stay there. I'll keep you posted.

The Savinis are all camped out at Doug's.
They're safe.

[door opens]

[Duncan] Hey, Tyler.

- I need your help.
- What's the matter?

Jackie's been turned.

[adventurous music playing]

[switch clicks]

[music continues]

[objects clattering]

Gabe got to her.

[Kinsey] Ty, I'm so sorry.

- No, no, we can fix this. We can save her.
- [Bode] How?

The Demon Key, it basically locks a demon
to someone's soul, right?

But a key turns both ways.

So we just need to make a new key
that unlocks a demon from a soul.

You need Whispering Iron to make a key.

[inhales deeply] Dad loved hiding things
around the house, you know?

Little secret surprises for us to find.

Ty, if he had a "break glass in case
of emergency" stash of Whispering Iron,

I never knew about it.

Say that again.

"Break glass in case of emergency" stash
of Whispering Iron?

[adventurous music continues]

Rendell used to wear this all the time.

Seriously, who...

who puts a fishing lure on a baseball cap?

[chuckles]

He said he had it there just

[both] in case of emergency.

- [ripping]
- What are you doing?

In case of emergency.

[music continues]

[sniffling]

- [indistinct whispering]
- Whoa.

What's wrong?

I don't hear whispering.

You can't hear that?

- Uh-uh.
- No.

[whispering continues]

Nobody else can?

Making a key is a conversation

between the Whispering Iron
and the key maker.

I heard whispering
when I made the Memory Key

and the other night with Gabe,
but this one...

it's not speaking to me.

It's speaking to you.

[bubbling, sizzling]

[indistinct whispering]

What good will a door do?

It will turn evil against itself

by making both lock and key
from this Whispering Iron.

The door will work.

I know it in my heart.

No luck?

[exhales] I'm missing some element. It's...

[breathes deeply]

In my reading of the rituals of alchemy,
you must have two things.

Intention and sacrifice,

to bind the spell-caster, you,

to the magic source, the Whispering Iron.

[inhales] What kind of sacrifice?

[lively instrumental music playing]

[bubbling, whooshing]

[indistinct whispering]

[whispering continues]

[sizzling]

[music intensifies]

[whispering continues]

[key clicks]

[rumbling]

[redeeming music playing]

[Miranda] If only
Father were here to see it.

[indistinct whispering]

I wonder what else
we can craft with these.

[music intensifies]

[whispering continues]

[adventurous music continues]

[switch clicks]

This is the only sh*t we get at this.

I'll talk you through every step.

[exhales]

Let's get to work.

[music intensifies, ends]

[lively instrumental music playing]
