Dante's Cove (2005) s03e03 Episode Script
Sexual Healing
[Announcer.]
Previously on Dante's Cove [gasps.]
Marco confided in me that he discovered a danger here in the cove, something he described as evil.
l feel so exhausted.
No, Kevin.
No.
My parents-- they were slaughtered.
They were torn apart.
Michelle's been through a lot.
She just needs a friend right now.
And it is my privilege to step into the great Marco's shoes as H2O's new owner.
The energy in all of Dante's Cove is in disrepair.
l'm sure you'll get your mojo back.
Until l do, l'll need a boost.
l need your star flower.
Make the trek to the spring.
You might make it by nightfall.
Meet Adam.
He's H2O's newest bartender.
ls he a slave in one of your little spells? You smoking saint? You'd tell me if you were using again, right? Give me back my powers.
Now, does that feel like a man who needs to steal energy? Why give up the money and stay here at the Cove? Because of you, asshole.
The House of Shadows is here.
Like a knife in my heart l'm dying Dying to be with you Burning inside me Dying, dying to be Like a moth to a flame l'm dying Dying to be with you Run but you can't hide Dying Dying to be with you l can't kill this deep desire for you l must have the rush of capturing you l can't save myself from thinking of you l won't stop until the day l do Burning inside me Burning inside me Dying to be with you Dying to be with you With you [thunderclap.]
Toby-- Kevin, what the fuck? Shh.
Adam's right inside.
l wanted to see you.
Toby.
[panting.]
Toby! Adam-- We were just-- l was just-- Ahh.
Dude, l know it's relaxing, but you're not supposed to fall asleep.
[exhales.]
Good night, Toby.
lt's almost time.
[Woman's whispered voice.]
Diana.
Diana.
No.
[voices.]
Diana.
Diana.
[whimpering.]
Diana, join us.
Join us.
Join us.
Join us.
Join us.
Aah! We want you.
[wings fluttering.]
Don't insult my intelligence by playing dumb.
This is inhumane.
What do you mean? The voices in my home? Surely the Tresum Council hasn't resorted to mental torture.
So this must be your own little plan.
l don't know what you're talking about.
No? Then why haven't you left yet? You took my power.
That's what you were sent to do.
Why linger here? Diana, this place is paradise.
l have an expense account and certain appetites.
l told the council you needed babysitting, but honestly, you're the least of my concerns.
You're lying.
l know it.
Disrespect me, disrespect the council.
[door slams.]
Hey.
You're finally up.
You look like shit.
Hmph.
You're too kind.
l feel, as you say, like shit as well.
You're probably just worn out from the club.
Come here.
Oops.
Sorry.
Ow.
Um, it's this bracelet.
lt's getting a little annoying.
Maybe it's time for it to come off? l say when it comes off.
[sighs heavily.]
But if you'd like to go into town today on your own, l'll allow it.
Great.
Thanks.
Kevin, not for too long.
l'm sure you don't want me worrying.
So, can you tell anything? No.
Seems like regular wood.
Now, why'd you have to go and do that? Now you got me all distracted.
Come on.
Back to work.
Since when do you care so much about a scientific find? Scientific? Have you looked at that thing? lt's art.
lt's old.
lt falls way more into my world than yours.
You should sell it to me.
Say what? Hey, long time.
You on your own? Just hangin' out.
What are you doin'? Analyzing this sample.
l found this weird box underwater.
Check this out.
lt's amazing.
Some of these symbols look like ancient Vedic art.
Others are more like Druid hierograms.
Hierograms? Yeah.
Religious art.
Sacred symbols.
They look familiar, like the writing in some old book of Bro's.
Brit's gonna sell it to me for my antiquities gallery.
No fucking way.
l'm the one who popped a vein pulling it out of the ocean.
Besides, we don't even know what's in it yet.
The lid is sealed shut, and the two of us couldn't pry it open.
Well, maybe the three of us can.
All right.
On three.
Ready? One, two, three.
That sucks.
lt's empty.
This looks like burn marks here on the inside, but there's no sign of any heat from the outside.
Damn.
Splendid form, just like a Greek god.
You think it's easy? Then you try.
Hmm.
Come on.
l'll spot you.
[grunts.]
This is why l'm here.
My magical and physical powers are shot.
l need you to tell me all you know about the power transference you performed on me.
lt's a skill to be developed, like lifting weights.
How? l have someplace l'd like to show you.
Hmm.
This is what you wanted me to see? You haven't seen anything yet.
Think of this as a charging station.
Griffin.
Tom.
- What brings you here? - Colin's not working? l'm minding the store.
No shirts.
Think of it as truth in advertising.
l can do it myself.
Club policy.
Call if there's anything l can help you with.
The trick to power transference is intention.
You're saying l can pull power from these men physically? You killed him with sex.
Not at all.
He'll be fine in a few minutes.
You do have to be careful though.
Take too much, and you can permanently damage an energy source.
l know how he feels.
So, it's your turn.
l appreciate the lesson, but l think l'll pass.
Why? Because Kevin is the only man that l need.
Suit yourself.
[chuckles.]
Cake's ready.
Does this look straight to you? l used to think so.
[chuckles.]
The sign, Toby.
Yeah.
lt looks fine.
So do you.
l can't believe how much time we wasted.
Things happen for a reason.
We weren't ready before.
Now we are.
You always have a way of looking for that silver lining.
That's what l love about you.
[Ambrosius.]
Oh, Grace, welcome.
Come.
Let me get you a drink.
You'll have to try our special house cocktail.
l've named it after you.
Really? Yes.
lt's called the 200-Year-Old Virgin.
Spare me your digs, Ambrosius.
l'm here out of necessity, with an olive branch.
Go on.
l need your sun book and all the star flower you have.
l've identified the energy that Marco discovered-- the House of Shadows.
Oh, you really do need that drink.
The House of Shadows is a myth, a tall tale, passed from generation to generation to frighten us.
No! No, it's true! lf our Tresum ancestors hadn't stopped the House of Shadows, - we'd be ruled by their darkness now.
- That's completely ridiculous.
A dark force that spreads mayhem and chaos and corrupts souls? No, no.
lt's true.
And now somehow the shadows have escaped their prison.
And the great Grace Neville has been elected to stop them.
No delusions of grandeur there.
Fine.
Don't believe me.
Just-- just give me the book.
Oh, that will never happen.
An olive branch is one thing, but sharing the Sun House secrets with a demented moon witch is another.
Who knows what would happen? Here you go.
The moon's and the sun's houses are split for a reason.
And the star flower? l don't have it.
Don't need it anymore.
When l want to look into the future, l look into Kevin's eyes.
Oh, please.
Perhaps you should ask one of your new roommates.
l hear that Adam has quite the history with saint.
That one's from us.
You may want to open that one in private.
Please.
Trevor doesn't do anything in private.
Oh.
l'll get the cake.
Oh, excuse me.
Oh, Grace.
Grace, don't go.
Join us.
lt's my birthday.
We got cake.
Perhaps one piece couldn't hurt.
Ah.
Just what l need.
What do you think, boss? l'm afraid to ask what that even is.
Aw, did you have to put a candle on for every year? - Come on.
You're still young.
- l'm turning 30 next year.
l gotta decide what l wanna be when l grow up.
- Who's got a lighter? - Ooh.
l do.
All right.
[growling.]
No! Get out! Adam.
Adam.
Adam.
Adam, are you okay? Hey, are you okay? What's wrong? Come on.
Talk to me.
Wow.
That one came on fast.
Another saint flashback? l don't know.
l guess.
Come on.
Guys, go on with the party.
l'm gonna take him outside for some air.
Toby, l don't know what's happening to me.
The stuff l see-- it feels real.
lt's fuckin' awful.
You just need to rest.
You're not used to working these long hours.
Hey, you feeling okay? Yeah.
Much better.
Thanks.
All right.
Then get your sweet asses back in here so we can cut that cake you made.
You cool? Yeah, just give me a sec.
Okay.
But hurry up.
You poor dear.
You look like you've just seen the devil.
l might as well have.
Your experience with our sacred plant has given you prophetic sight.
What you see is what is to come.
Lady, for all our sakes, that better not be true.
lt doesn't have to be.
lf you will let me see what you're seeing, l can figure out a way to stop it.
How? You can't get inside my head.
Yes! Yes, l can.
All you need to do is ingest some of Tresum's sacred plant with me: star flower.
Mortals call it saint.
Are you fucking nuts? l'm not touching that shit! Now, if you had any idea what it took me to kick, you would've never asked me that.
l can't choose what visions l see.
What you're describing is not something l'm familiar with, but l'm sure it holds the key.
And star flower is the only thing that can save us.
No.
Saint almost ruined my life.
l'm never touching that shit again.
My sacred source has been destroyed.
l need to know where else l can get this saint.
Why don't you try The Lair? They grow it by the bushel in the back.
[gasp.]
Grace.
There are rules in this establishment.
And yet l don't care.
l'm here on business.
Come with me.
So Kevin just climbed right into the hot tub with you.
Yeah, exactly.
l feel so guilty.
l mean, l'm having a sex dream about Kevin, and Adam is right there.
Relax, Toby.
lt was just a dream.
Right? Everybody has them.
Really? Hell, yeah.
Look, l love Elena, but do you think nobody else ever comes into my head? Everybody thinks about their exes sometimes.
What about you and Michelle? Do you ever miss her? Yeah, Brit.
Do you miss Michelle? We weren't talking about Michelle.
We were talking about Kevin and Toby.
Yeah, l'm just a little wacked-out right now.
l was just bouncing something off of Britt.
You know, l'll catch you guys later.
l wonder what you would have said if l hadn't walked up right when l did.
Good thing you walked up, huh? Do l have something to be worried about here? l mean, l'm willing to fight for you, but l just need to know what l'm up against.
You're not up against anything.
Michelle is my friend.
That's it.
l'm not talking about Michelle.
l'm talking about you.
Look, uh, it's just-- l'm not used to this relationship thing, okay? You just got to cut me some slack.
[dance.]
lt's going great, Bro.
lt is, isn't it? Yeah.
But l'm beat.
This party life isn't for me anymore.
l'm going to go home and warm up bed.
Hmm.
Sounds delightful.
l'll be home as soon as l can.
You really turned this place around, and l'm very proud of you.
Thank you, Kevin.
lt means a lot to me.
l'll see you after closing time.
Wake me up when you get in.
Hey, Adam, can we get another here? Hey! Thanks, bro.
Hey, what's up, dude? Looking good.
Later, bro.
You bet.
Ohh Oh.
Oh, you poor thing.
Oh, oh, come with me.
Come with me.
What's happening? Shh, shh.
Quickly, this way.
This way.
Powers of Tresum, grant me sight.
A mortal's vision be mine tonight.
No! Aah! Aah! Help! Shadow! Aah.
Aah.
l've made a decision.
l'm going home early.
l'm going to release Kevin from his bondage to me tonight.
And remove the bracelet? What's that saying? lf you love somebody, set them free.
Well, l love Kevin, and l believe he loves me.
Wow.
From captive to soulmate.
lt's quite a story.
Maybe one day you'll find your soulmate as well.
Well, l find one or two every day.
There's a lot of Miss Rights and Mr.
Rights.
You know me.
l love them all.
[latch unlocks.]
Adam, where have you been? l don't know.
l feel fucked up.
Am l? Things were going so well.
Why would you do this? l didn't do anything.
Somebody at the club probably dosed me.
Don't lie, not to me.
Not after what we've been through.
Why would l risk everything we got on some fucking high.
Whatever happened to trust? Fuck, l can't-- l can't deal with you, not like this.
Power of the sun, strength of fire, Ambrosius' power will become mine.
Power of the sun, strength of fire, Ambrosius' power will become mine.
What the-- what are you doing? What do you think? So what? My secret's out.
Big deal.
There's nothing you can do about it.
l'm stronger than you are now.
That is not true.
No? Try me.
You ungrateful little bitch.
l've given you everything.
That's nothing compared to what you've taken away from me.
How long did you think you could keep me here? [panting.]
Kevin but l love you.
You call this love? l'm a fucking prisoner.
You want your prison? Forces of Tresum, cage this ingrate! Take this bracelet off of me.
Never.
Never.
Yes.
You will.
l'll make you.
You might have the strength, but you don't know what to do with it.
You don't understand Tresum.
Kevin, if you just give me some time-- No, Bro.
lt's too late.
You're going to see a side of me that you never knew.
[pounding on door.]
Hey, bro.
What's going on? Mmm.
Whoa.
Take it easy, Bro.
Show me.
Show me how to take it, won't you, please? Come with me.
Please, Griffin, please.
No.
What? lt's not about dominance here.
Hmm.
How do you do that? l'm going to teach you.
l told you l focus all my energy into the touch.
Then l can give power.
Or take it.
Now you.
Focus your mind.
Your hands are the gateway.
That's it.
You're getting it.
l feel it.
l feel it.
l feel it.
So do l.
When l saw you drain that man at The Lair, l should have known Kevin was draining my power.
You didn't want to know.
Once l replenish myself, Kevin will be punished and be back under my control again where he belongs.
Why would you want a man who's been lying to you, who's betrayed you? l love him.
You're addicted to him.
He's not going to stop until he drains your entire life force.
You want my advice? Don't even try to face him until you're more than replenished.
You need to be overflowing with power by the time you see him again.
That means you need to get power anywhere you can.
[Griff.]
Can l offer you something? This isn't a social call.
l'm here to discuss the House of Shadows.
Why? Our ancestors rid us of that problem centuries ago.
Then you believe in it.
Of course.
The House of Shadows has escaped from its Tresum prison.
Now, that's just absurd.
No, lots of strange things are happening.
Well, you even said so yourself.
Come on.
lf the big bad Shadows were here, don't you think l'd feel them? Maybe you would if you paid attention.
But instead, you're out chasing every Tom, Dick, and Mary.
ls that jealousy l hear? Please, we don't have time for your petty flirtations.
l don't consider our flirtations petty.
l have more star flower.
You can see for yourself.
l'd love to share a vision with you, maybe even a little more than that sometime, but l can't get involved with your rogue magic.
l would lose my job.
Surely the fate of the world is more important than your job! l need your powers.
There is one other way.
Whatever it is, l'll do it.
Swear your allegiance to the Tresum Council and to me.
Grace Neville is no one's aspirant.
l guess saving the world isn't that important to you after all.
l still haven't figured out where it came from.
lt was under water so long, it's impossible to tell much about it.
What about the symbols? Elena says they don't match any known language, ancient or otherwise.
[phone rings.]
Shit, l got to take this.
Hello.
Yeah, l'm sorry to call you back.
My BlackBerry's been off all day.
Yeah, l can get that for you.
No, l have my computer right here.
l'll just pull it up.
call that in.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah.
All right.
Thanks.
l needed a pick-me-up.
Hey.
Hey.
Have you, uh have you seen Bro? No.
Sorry.
You're not covering for him, are you? Why the hell would l cover for that asshole? l'm just-- if you see him, let me know.
lt's important for me, for you, for us.
Today's the day.
What day? Hey, Adam.
Hey.
l was-- l was just leaving.
Remember what l said.
He was just looking for Ambrosius.
Well, looks like he found you instead.
l've missed you.
l'm glad we can hang like this, you know? Be friends.
Are you happy, Brit? Yeah.
l mean, um, l've got my work, and-- Elena's the greatest, so l, uh-- Oh, she seems a little possessive of you, don't mind me saying.
You think so? Well, l mean it's not like you're married or anything.
No, but, uh-- Okay, uh, l don't think l can do this.
l-- Why? This feels right.
l've seen so much darkness.
Now l just want to live.
Oh, Michelle.
Grace.
What are you doing here? l have been considering the conditions you set.
Before you say another word, l'm sorry.
lt was unfair of me to suggest such a thing.
Of course you would never become my-- l'll do it.
Excuse me? lf you will share my vision with me see what l've seen about the House of Shadows, then l will pledge my allegiance to the Tresum Council and to you as your aspirant.
You do understand what you're saying, right? Of course l do.
Don't treat me like a child.
Grace.
You must really be frightened to be willing to do this.
The threat of the House of Shadows is real, Griffin.
l don't know why l've been chosen to combat it, but l have.
And now is not the time for me to stand on outdated principles.
lf my pledge is what is required to enlist your help, then-- my pledge it is.
l will be awaiting your visit tonight at the midnight hour, as your tradition prescribes.
Why are you doing this to me? Oh, please! [Woman's whispered voice.]
Diana! Diana! W-W-Who's there? [sobbing.]
Why are you doing this to me? [snarling.]
Why? Why? Diana.
[whimpering.]
Join us.
We've made a fool of you.
We will give you power.
No! No, no! No! [wings fluttering.]
No! Where have you been? l've been looking all over the cove for you.
You can't just disappear like that, Bro.
l can't? l think you're forgetting who the aspirant around here is.
Look, l'm sorry about the other night.
l should have told you l was playing around with potions and spells, Bro, but-- l was worried.
Surprised to see me strong again? You're not the only one that can take powers from others.
[panting.]
[sigh.]
Please don't grovel.
lt's unattractive.
Okay, You win.
l'll be good.
Come on.
Did you think l'd give up that easily? [laughing.]
lt's stripping your defenses as we speak.
l call upon your life flow.
Come, through my power, to join my own.
Ambrosius' power flows to me.
Break these chains.
l'm free.
A horrible evil has come to Dante's Cove.
You've seen it in your visions.
l pledge to follow always in the will of my avatar Griffin.
l broke free of Bro.
You told me you were happy.
Who's there? Diana's fallen victim to the House of Shadows.
[Toby.]
Kevin was here earlier looking for something in Bro's office.
lf you know where that book is, you better tell me.
You were mine.
You always will be.
You were right.
lt's the House of Shadows.
lt's Michelle.
You've found this Tresum spell that will help reveal the truth about the past.
Whoa.
l'm a scientist.
Go ahead.
The spell says you have to touch the book.
Aah! No! Like a knife in my heart l'm dying Dying to be with you Burning inside me Dying, dying to be Like a moth to a flame l'm dying Dying to be with you Run but you can't hide Dying Dying to be with you Like a knife in my heart l'm dying Dying to be with you Burning inside me Dying, dying to be Like a moth to a flame l'm dying Dying to be with you Run but you can't hide Dying Dying to be with you When l first saw you A feeling crept over me You'd be my savior With one kiss, you'd set me free Your flesh and your blood lt's just a small sacrifice Do not resist me Eternal life has its price Careful what you wish for.
Like a knife in my heart l can't kill this deep desire for you l'm dying Dying to be with you l must have the rush of capturing you Run but you can't hide Dying Dying to be Like a moth to a flame l can't save myself from thinking of you l'm dying Dying to be with you l won't stop until the day l do l'm dying Dying to be with you

Really? Yes.
lt's called the 200-Year-Old Virgin.
Spare me your digs, Ambrosius.
l'm here out of necessity, with an olive branch.
Go on.
l need your sun book and all the star flower you have.
l've identified the energy that Marco discovered-- the House of Shadows.
Oh, you really do need that drink.
The House of Shadows is a myth, a tall tale, passed from generation to generation to frighten us.
No! No, it's true! lf our Tresum ancestors hadn't stopped the House of Shadows, - we'd be ruled by their darkness now.
- That's completely ridiculous.
A dark force that spreads mayhem and chaos and corrupts souls? No, no.
lt's true.
And now somehow the shadows have escaped their prison.
And the great Grace Neville has been elected to stop them.
No delusions of grandeur there.
Fine.
Don't believe me.
Just-- just give me the book.
Oh, that will never happen.
An olive branch is one thing, but sharing the Sun House secrets with a demented moon witch is another.
Who knows what would happen? Here you go.
The moon's and the sun's houses are split for a reason.
And the star flower? l don't have it.
Don't need it anymore.
When l want to look into the future, l look into Kevin's eyes.
Oh, please.
Perhaps you should ask one of your new roommates.
l hear that Adam has quite the history with saint.
That one's from us.
You may want to open that one in private.
Please.
Trevor doesn't do anything in private.
Oh.
l'll get the cake.
Oh, excuse me.
Oh, Grace.
Grace, don't go.
Join us.
lt's my birthday.
We got cake.
Perhaps one piece couldn't hurt.
Ah.
Just what l need.
What do you think, boss? l'm afraid to ask what that even is.
Aw, did you have to put a candle on for every year? - Come on.
You're still young.
- l'm turning 30 next year.
l gotta decide what l wanna be when l grow up.
- Who's got a lighter? - Ooh.
l do.
All right.
[growling.]
No! Get out! Adam.
Adam.
Adam.
Adam, are you okay? Hey, are you okay? What's wrong? Come on.
Talk to me.
Wow.
That one came on fast.
Another saint flashback? l don't know.
l guess.
Come on.
Guys, go on with the party.
l'm gonna take him outside for some air.
Toby, l don't know what's happening to me.
The stuff l see-- it feels real.
lt's fuckin' awful.
You just need to rest.
You're not used to working these long hours.
Hey, you feeling okay? Yeah.
Much better.
Thanks.
All right.
Then get your sweet asses back in here so we can cut that cake you made.
You cool? Yeah, just give me a sec.
Okay.
But hurry up.
You poor dear.
You look like you've just seen the devil.
l might as well have.
Your experience with our sacred plant has given you prophetic sight.
What you see is what is to come.
Lady, for all our sakes, that better not be true.
lt doesn't have to be.
lf you will let me see what you're seeing, l can figure out a way to stop it.
How? You can't get inside my head.
Yes! Yes, l can.
All you need to do is ingest some of Tresum's sacred plant with me: star flower.
Mortals call it saint.
Are you fucking nuts? l'm not touching that shit! Now, if you had any idea what it took me to kick, you would've never asked me that.
l can't choose what visions l see.
What you're describing is not something l'm familiar with, but l'm sure it holds the key.
And star flower is the only thing that can save us.
No.
Saint almost ruined my life.
l'm never touching that shit again.
My sacred source has been destroyed.
l need to know where else l can get this saint.
Why don't you try The Lair? They grow it by the bushel in the back.
[gasp.]
Grace.
There are rules in this establishment.
And yet l don't care.
l'm here on business.
Come with me.
So Kevin just climbed right into the hot tub with you.
Yeah, exactly.
l feel so guilty.
l mean, l'm having a sex dream about Kevin, and Adam is right there.
Relax, Toby.
lt was just a dream.
Right? Everybody has them.
Really? Hell, yeah.
Look, l love Elena, but do you think nobody else ever comes into my head? Everybody thinks about their exes sometimes.
What about you and Michelle? Do you ever miss her? Yeah, Brit.
Do you miss Michelle? We weren't talking about Michelle.
We were talking about Kevin and Toby.
Yeah, l'm just a little wacked-out right now.
l was just bouncing something off of Britt.
You know, l'll catch you guys later.
l wonder what you would have said if l hadn't walked up right when l did.
Good thing you walked up, huh? Do l have something to be worried about here? l mean, l'm willing to fight for you, but l just need to know what l'm up against.
You're not up against anything.
Michelle is my friend.
That's it.
l'm not talking about Michelle.
l'm talking about you.
Look, uh, it's just-- l'm not used to this relationship thing, okay? You just got to cut me some slack.
[dance.]
lt's going great, Bro.
lt is, isn't it? Yeah.
But l'm beat.
This party life isn't for me anymore.
l'm going to go home and warm up bed.
Hmm.
Sounds delightful.
l'll be home as soon as l can.
You really turned this place around, and l'm very proud of you.
Thank you, Kevin.
lt means a lot to me.
l'll see you after closing time.
Wake me up when you get in.
Hey, Adam, can we get another here? Hey! Thanks, bro.
Hey, what's up, dude? Looking good.
Later, bro.
You bet.
Ohh Oh.
Oh, you poor thing.
Oh, oh, come with me.
Come with me.
What's happening? Shh, shh.
Quickly, this way.
This way.
Powers of Tresum, grant me sight.
A mortal's vision be mine tonight.
No! Aah! Aah! Help! Shadow! Aah.
Aah.
l've made a decision.
l'm going home early.
l'm going to release Kevin from his bondage to me tonight.
And remove the bracelet? What's that saying? lf you love somebody, set them free.
Well, l love Kevin, and l believe he loves me.
Wow.
From captive to soulmate.
lt's quite a story.
Maybe one day you'll find your soulmate as well.
Well, l find one or two every day.
There's a lot of Miss Rights and Mr.
Rights.
You know me.
l love them all.
[latch unlocks.]
Adam, where have you been? l don't know.
l feel fucked up.
Am l? Things were going so well.
Why would you do this? l didn't do anything.
Somebody at the club probably dosed me.
Don't lie, not to me.
Not after what we've been through.
Why would l risk everything we got on some fucking high.
Whatever happened to trust? Fuck, l can't-- l can't deal with you, not like this.
Power of the sun, strength of fire, Ambrosius' power will become mine.
Power of the sun, strength of fire, Ambrosius' power will become mine.
What the-- what are you doing? What do you think? So what? My secret's out.
Big deal.
There's nothing you can do about it.
l'm stronger than you are now.
That is not true.
No? Try me.
You ungrateful little bitch.
l've given you everything.
That's nothing compared to what you've taken away from me.
How long did you think you could keep me here? [panting.]
Kevin but l love you.
You call this love? l'm a fucking prisoner.
You want your prison? Forces of Tresum, cage this ingrate! Take this bracelet off of me.
Never.
Never.
Yes.
You will.
l'll make you.
You might have the strength, but you don't know what to do with it.
You don't understand Tresum.
Kevin, if you just give me some time-- No, Bro.
lt's too late.
You're going to see a side of me that you never knew.
[pounding on door.]
Hey, bro.
What's going on? Mmm.
Whoa.
Take it easy, Bro.
Show me.
Show me how to take it, won't you, please? Come with me.
Please, Griffin, please.
No.
What? lt's not about dominance here.
Hmm.
How do you do that? l'm going to teach you.
l told you l focus all my energy into the touch.
Then l can give power.
Or take it.
Now you.
Focus your mind.
Your hands are the gateway.
That's it.
You're getting it.
l feel it.
l feel it.
l feel it.
So do l.
When l saw you drain that man at The Lair, l should have known Kevin was draining my power.
You didn't want to know.
Once l replenish myself, Kevin will be punished and be back under my control again where he belongs.
Why would you want a man who's been lying to you, who's betrayed you? l love him.
You're addicted to him.
He's not going to stop until he drains your entire life force.
You want my advice? Don't even try to face him until you're more than replenished.
You need to be overflowing with power by the time you see him again.
That means you need to get power anywhere you can.
[Griff.]
Can l offer you something? This isn't a social call.
l'm here to discuss the House of Shadows.
Why? Our ancestors rid us of that problem centuries ago.
Then you believe in it.
Of course.
The House of Shadows has escaped from its Tresum prison.
Now, that's just absurd.
No, lots of strange things are happening.
Well, you even said so yourself.
Come on.
lf the big bad Shadows were here, don't you think l'd feel them? Maybe you would if you paid attention.
But instead, you're out chasing every Tom, Dick, and Mary.
ls that jealousy l hear? Please, we don't have time for your petty flirtations.
l don't consider our flirtations petty.
l have more star flower.
You can see for yourself.
l'd love to share a vision with you, maybe even a little more than that sometime, but l can't get involved with your rogue magic.
l would lose my job.
Surely the fate of the world is more important than your job! l need your powers.
There is one other way.
Whatever it is, l'll do it.
Swear your allegiance to the Tresum Council and to me.
Grace Neville is no one's aspirant.
l guess saving the world isn't that important to you after all.
l still haven't figured out where it came from.
lt was under water so long, it's impossible to tell much about it.
What about the symbols? Elena says they don't match any known language, ancient or otherwise.
[phone rings.]
Shit, l got to take this.
Hello.
Yeah, l'm sorry to call you back.
My BlackBerry's been off all day.
Yeah, l can get that for you.
No, l have my computer right here.
l'll just pull it up.
call that in.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah.
All right.
Thanks.
l needed a pick-me-up.
Hey.
Hey.
Have you, uh have you seen Bro? No.
Sorry.
You're not covering for him, are you? Why the hell would l cover for that asshole? l'm just-- if you see him, let me know.
lt's important for me, for you, for us.
Today's the day.
What day? Hey, Adam.
Hey.
l was-- l was just leaving.
Remember what l said.
He was just looking for Ambrosius.
Well, looks like he found you instead.
l've missed you.
l'm glad we can hang like this, you know? Be friends.
Are you happy, Brit? Yeah.
l mean, um, l've got my work, and-- Elena's the greatest, so l, uh-- Oh, she seems a little possessive of you, don't mind me saying.
You think so? Well, l mean it's not like you're married or anything.
No, but, uh-- Okay, uh, l don't think l can do this.
l-- Why? This feels right.
l've seen so much darkness.
Now l just want to live.
Oh, Michelle.
Grace.
What are you doing here? l have been considering the conditions you set.
Before you say another word, l'm sorry.
lt was unfair of me to suggest such a thing.
Of course you would never become my-- l'll do it.
Excuse me? lf you will share my vision with me see what l've seen about the House of Shadows, then l will pledge my allegiance to the Tresum Council and to you as your aspirant.
You do understand what you're saying, right? Of course l do.
Don't treat me like a child.
Grace.
You must really be frightened to be willing to do this.
The threat of the House of Shadows is real, Griffin.
l don't know why l've been chosen to combat it, but l have.
And now is not the time for me to stand on outdated principles.
lf my pledge is what is required to enlist your help, then-- my pledge it is.
l will be awaiting your visit tonight at the midnight hour, as your tradition prescribes.
Why are you doing this to me? Oh, please! [Woman's whispered voice.]
Diana! Diana! W-W-Who's there? [sobbing.]
Why are you doing this to me? [snarling.]
Why? Why? Diana.
[whimpering.]
Join us.
We've made a fool of you.
We will give you power.
No! No, no! No! [wings fluttering.]
No! Where have you been? l've been looking all over the cove for you.
You can't just disappear like that, Bro.
l can't? l think you're forgetting who the aspirant around here is.
Look, l'm sorry about the other night.
l should have told you l was playing around with potions and spells, Bro, but-- l was worried.
Surprised to see me strong again? You're not the only one that can take powers from others.
[panting.]
[sigh.]
Please don't grovel.
lt's unattractive.
Okay, You win.
l'll be good.
Come on.
Did you think l'd give up that easily? [laughing.]
lt's stripping your defenses as we speak.
l call upon your life flow.
Come, through my power, to join my own.
Ambrosius' power flows to me.
Break these chains.
l'm free.
A horrible evil has come to Dante's Cove.
You've seen it in your visions.
l pledge to follow always in the will of my avatar Griffin.
l broke free of Bro.
You told me you were happy.
Who's there? Diana's fallen victim to the House of Shadows.
[Toby.]
Kevin was here earlier looking for something in Bro's office.
lf you know where that book is, you better tell me.
You were mine.
You always will be.
You were right.
lt's the House of Shadows.
lt's Michelle.
You've found this Tresum spell that will help reveal the truth about the past.
Whoa.
l'm a scientist.
Go ahead.
The spell says you have to touch the book.
Aah! No! Like a knife in my heart l'm dying Dying to be with you Burning inside me Dying, dying to be Like a moth to a flame l'm dying Dying to be with you Run but you can't hide Dying Dying to be with you Like a knife in my heart l'm dying Dying to be with you Burning inside me Dying, dying to be Like a moth to a flame l'm dying Dying to be with you Run but you can't hide Dying Dying to be with you When l first saw you A feeling crept over me You'd be my savior With one kiss, you'd set me free Your flesh and your blood lt's just a small sacrifice Do not resist me Eternal life has its price Careful what you wish for.
Like a knife in my heart l can't kill this deep desire for you l'm dying Dying to be with you l must have the rush of capturing you Run but you can't hide Dying Dying to be Like a moth to a flame l can't save myself from thinking of you l'm dying Dying to be with you l won't stop until the day l do l'm dying Dying to be with you
