Legacies (2018) s03e02 Episode Script

Goodbyes Sure Do Suck

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Hold up.
- You're out of control, bro.
- What? We know you're descended from King Arthur's bloodline.
Everything I'm saying could have happened.
Yeah, could have.
- What is Hope doing there, exactly? - I I got carried away.
Look, I don't understand how you're not into this.
If I knew I was descended from kings That's always been the difference between you and me, Lan.
You've always wanted to be special.
I've just wanted to be normal.
Have a a home, friends and a family.
And look, now that we have that, I don't need some fantasy role-playing to tell me where I come from.
This is history.
And after all we've been through, look, I'm done looking back.
Okay, fine, can you just give me my book back, please? - This book? - Yes, that book.
Just give me the book.
Wait, wait, no.
Stop, stop.
- Raf, let go now.
- I can't hear you.
- I-I can't hear you.
- Raf, stop.
What? Huh? Found him by the back gate this morning.
I just, I don't get it.
I thought you said Chad was walking and talking yesterday.
Why does he look like he's been dead for three months? Because he has been.
The Necromancer was keeping him alive until I did the deal with him.
Why would Dollar Store Jack Sparrow set him free one day just to turn around and kill him the next? I don't know.
Dr.
Saltzman.
Hey.
Who's doing the magic analysis? I think Ms.
Featherwood.
We can do it ourselves.
It shouldn't be too hard to figure out.
Let's go take a look.
What are you doing? Getting the hell out of here.
You don't want to wait for the results? Is waiting around gonna change anything, Lan? Look, I I just can't sit here.
Okay.
Whatever you need, I'm there.
We had a deal! Oh, I'm well aware and coursing with black magic as a result.
So you'd do well to watch your tone.
Oh, see, that's more like it.
But you really didn't have to get me anything.
Oh I'll be damned.
- Is this? - Your former acolyte.
Chad.
I knew him well, Horatio.
Oh, stop playing games.
This was all your doing.
Hardly.
We sealed our pact with a covenant spell.
I obviously upheld my end of the bargain, hence the magic I now possess.
I severed my connection to them, just like you asked, no strings attached.
What is so damn funny? I followed your word to the letter, but as I was the one who brought them back to life It was dooming them all over again.
Precisely! Yeah! Oh! So they are gonna die? The wolf, most definitely.
By sunrise, I'd imagine.
But the phoenix ah, it's doubtful.
I'm not sure he was ever technically dead, to be honest, given his powers of resurrection.
And what about Alyssa? Chin up.
One out of three ain't bad.
Mm.
Fine.
Be that way.
I wish I had better news.
We don't have much time.
Super Squad always saves the day.
What do you need us to do? Anything we can.
We should also make a plan for if things don't go our way.
What? We got to be realistic about our odds here.
Right? You leave the worst-case scenario up to me.
In the meantime, just keep looking for loopholes.
Jed, the pack should be with him right now.
Pack can't help with this, Dr.
S.
Why not? A dying wolf separates himself from the pack.
We have to respect his privacy, keep our distance unless he chooses to reach out to us.
Is that how you'd want to be treated? Sorry.
It's just our nature.
Lizzie, the witches have them keep trying any and all healing spells.
Already on it.
Plus, we gave Raf an elixir that links him to the lunar cycle.
It's a Band-Aid, but it will hold off his symptoms until the morning.
When he drops dead.
I said that out loud.
I am so My point is, if anyone can find a way to save him, it's us.
There's only one problem with that.
Rafael took off.
He's gone.
This is your big dope plan? - Camping? - Yeah.
A whole lot of fishing, grilling and chilling.
Like we did just when we were ordinary kids.
Come on, dude.
Yeah, sounds like the perfect day.
Oh, yeah, it's gonna be.
Hey, I hope you don't mind me bringing my dad along for the fun.
The more, the merrier.
Walt has no idea that we're even coming.
I'm-a go surprise him.
I'll get our stuff.
Okay.
Yo, Pops.
Hello? What's wrong? He's not in there.
Oh.
Okay.
Uh You want to just wait or? It's fine.
We can just go.
Go? Go where? It's-it's not a big deal though.
I'm scared.
Son of a bitch.
Pal, your day just got a lot more interest Before you take me downtown, I still get my one phone call, right? Oh, so you do know how phones work.
Interesting.
- I've been meaning to call.
- But you never did.
'Cause I had to take a trip with my daughters to see their uncle.
It's a long story, but the point is, I am sorry.
And I've even more sorry to say that I'm here because I need your help.
Oh, another one of your novels? I'm looking for a missing person.
Somebody who's gone to great lengths not to be found.
I'm sorry, Ric, but I have a job.
And I can't be running around helping you whenever you want.
Yeah, but you will.
'Cause when I had Kaleb compel you to forget, I had him tell you to listen to me in cases of life and death.
Okay.
Who are we looking for? I made you an offer! And I'm considering it.
If my skill set can affect real change around here.
Starting with this.
This is the reconstituted Malivore Pit.
It's a portal to another dimension, forged by my own black hand.
It's an eyesore.
But I guess we could throw a rug over it.
We will do no such thing.
You clearly do not understand the power dynamic at play here.
Oh, sure I do.
The way I see it, this is a job interview.
So this is as much about me interviewing you as it is about you interviewing me.
Now, how are you gonna raise Malivore? What's your, like, plan? Your mind would shatter at its sheer scope.
Then get to shattering.
'Cause I'm not signing up until I know exactly what our mission statement is.
- Mission statement? - And, more importantly, how much pain and misery it's gonna rain down on the Salvatore School.
So, go ahead.
Pitch me.
So, about those healing spells.
None of them worked? Not as intended.
Well, the day is not over yet.
We've tried everything.
- You know what we need to do.
- We're not doing a linking spell.
Why not? It's the exact thing that you did to save me from the Merge.
But that was different.
If I link Landon to Raf, Landon would have to die and resurrect every single day.
We don't know how many lives Landon has left.
We could kill them both.
Well, have you thought about what Landon would want? I might have another idea.
God, I hate waiting around like this.
Every second counts.
I'm sure he'll be back soon.
And what if he's not? I may never get to say goodbye, Lan.
Come on.
Don't say that.
One day is all I wanted.
I just wanted one day to be normal again.
Look, we're gonna beat this.
Come on, man.
Does that sound like my life? Nothing ever goes my way, Lan.
What makes you think that today's gonna be any different? Hey, camping trip's over.
Y'all got to get y'all asses back to school.
Hope has a plan.
Come on.
So Hope wants to use Clarke's Freaky Friday tuning fork to put Raf's consciousness in someone else's body? Look, I know it's not ideal, okay? But if we modify and reforge the Trident, then a siphon like me can use it to transfer energy instead of consciousness.
Well-well, wait, wait.
What kind of energy? And into who? Well, my first choice was Jed, but unfortunately, it has to be phoenix energy.
Phoenix? So what does that mean for Landon? I'm guessing it means I become human.
Mortal? Which is probably why Hope isn't here to tell me herself.
Thank you.
That's it? Were you expecting more? Kind of.
Your puny mind could not possibly process the profundity of my plot! One: acquire buttload of dark magic.
Two: use aforementioned buttload to reenact the original Triad spell and raise Malivore from the Pit.
Three: rewrite the spell so that Malivore serves you instead of the Triad.
Four: Malivore is your servant forever.
Yes.
That's pretty much it.
Well, I didn't say it was a bad plan.
It's just a little small.
What? I get why you're pissed at Malivore, but don't you think you should do more with all that black magic than bring him back to shine your shoes? He started it.
It's petty.
- You're better than this.
- Ah We're better than this.
This spell's a sequel, right? That means it has to be bigger and badder than the one before.
I must admit, I like the sound of that.
What do you have in mind? We bring back Malivore, just like you said.
But we don't stop there.
We bring back all the monsters.
Anyone else care to try their luck? I'm game.
Fools and their money.
Oh, I already know I can't win.
Because I know that you're a werewolf.
Who sent you? I'm here about your son.
I don't have a son.
What is that thing? Oh, no name.
But the "Fork of Saving Your Ass" has a nice ring to it.
You built this today? - Yeah.
- Damn, girl.
You want to thank me? Be sure to tell my dad how awesome I am.
Sometimes I think he wonders.
He'll figure it out.
Your dad's a good guy.
You're lucky, you know? To have a dad like him.
Who makes mistakes because he's trying to protect you.
Well, at least you have the moppet.
Yeah.
But I hate that it has to come to this for him.
Are you sure about this? Uh, I mean, it's kind of ironic, huh? Raf spent all day yesterday convincing me to go back inside my body, and today he needs me to give the most important piece of it away.
It's not the most important piece.
You sure about that? It doesn't it doesn't matter.
I'd lay in front of a bus for him.
At least this plan seems a lot less painful.
We're ready.
Um Let's get started.
Moppet, you are here.
Raf, there.
And, Hope, you're moral support, so don't screw it up.
Thanks.
You can start now.
I did start, but nothing's happening.
What do you mean? There isn't any magic in the moppet to siphon.
I don't understand.
She means I'm not a phoenix anymore.
It makes sense.
The golden arrow felled the phoenix, just like the prophecy said.
Wait.
But you were brought back.
As a human, but the phoenix part of me died, leaving me one final, mortal life.
I should have known.
I can feel it.
I feel different.
I can't believe that this is happening.
We'll run more tests.
Maybe there's something we missed.
I can go outside and try to fly.
How? By jumping off a roof and hoping you sprout wings before you break your neck? No! I don't want to waste another second fighting a losing battle.
I want to make the most of whatever little time that I have left.
Just want to be with with my friends.
I want to go out on my own terms.
What are you gonna do with me? Take you to your son.
Rafael.
He needs you.
He's dying, Lucia.
He's a werewolf, like you.
It's a a complicated story, but he only has one day left to live.
He's a good kid.
He's a really good kid.
And he shouldn't have to face his fate alone.
He deserves to have people by his side who love him.
He - He should have his mother.
- Why? He never did.
I left him because I couldn't be that for him.
He's better off without me.
Mac, what are you doing? She can go.
If it's what you want.
She'll come back.
Trust me.
Hey.
Could use those Tribrid muscles.
Got a couple more kegs I need to haul over.
But I can see that you're not in the mood for a, um for a party.
I think I'm just a sore loser.
I've beaten death more times than I care to count, and I really thought we were gonna beat it again.
Hey, uh it's okay, Hope.
I'm serious.
I'm not afraid.
I believe that everyone gets their own version of heaven.
For me, it's gonna be my best day ever, just on a loop.
A day outside with the people I love.
But I'm gonna appreciate everything I can while I'm here.
I mean, a supernova that we can actually see with our naked eye? I mean, that's once in a lifetime.
A lifetime.
Hey, um, there's something that I need you to do.
It's, uh, one last favor, it's, uh, for Landon.
Sorry.
I can't right now.
Yo! What's with the long faces? Come on, I wanted this to be a-a party, like the one the first night when I came here.
Not a funeral.
We're trying our best, Raf, but it's it's a lot.
Look, just-just think of something, uh, funny.
Or something stupid or embarrassing that I did that you'll always remember.
Like the, um Wh Uh, what was it? Uh "Expectation was a cancer.
" "Oh, you can't, sir? Then who will?" Come on.
That awful beat poetry thing I did? Then there was that one time you turned with your uniform on.
It was pretty wild, seeing a full-blown werewolf with a tie around its neck.
That's the spirit.
Keep it going.
Okay, well, I don't know if this is too funny, but there was that time Lan.
Man, come on.
Bring your ass outside.
What? I know you got dirt on me for days.
I'm sorry.
I just can't pretend.
Okay, all r all right.
Uh Then let's bounce.
Just me and you.
Look, I got what I needed from here.
I want to spend the rest of whatever time I have left with my brother.
All right.
I'm scared, Dad.
Raf's not gonna make it and there's nothing we can do.
So we need you back here ASAP.
I need you back.
I'm on my way.
- We have to go.
- Ric.
Don't give up on her yet.
Werewolves are instinctual.
You didn't even know about them before today and you won't tomorrow, so what makes you think she's any different? She's a mother, like me.
So I am counting on her instincts, because we all make mistakes with our kids.
Bro, you were right.
This is so much better.
And we didn't even have to scam strangers for these bad boys this time.
I'm sorry, Rafael.
I really thought Hope would find a way.
You know, that's just what she does.
- Finds ways.
- Yeah, uh we were talking earlier.
I think I scared her off.
Hope doesn't scare easily.
What'd you say to her? I, um I was gonna ask her to look out for you after I was gone.
Well, you won't have to worry about that anymore, will you? Now that she knows I'm not a phoenix, she won't let me step foot outside.
- Right? - She definitely won't.
For two foster kids, our lives got pretty weird, huh? So weird.
Weird life weird death.
You didn't ask the pack for this.
But we thought just in case.
Dad? W-We came looking for you.
I heard.
But I'm here now.
And I'm not going anywhere.
What can I do, son? Exactly what you're doing now.
Lizzie.
Did you see the supernova? It's kind of hard to miss it.
Is that what I think it is? I had an idea.
Please tell me you know where your dad keeps his stash of Bennett blood.
Off the record, I can think of at least three super-secret hiding spots.
Let's go.
We're running out of time.
He's gone.
I mean, Rafael's literally gone.
I didn't know werewolves disappear when they die.
They don't.
Come with me.
I have some explaining to do.
Come on.
Last night Rafael told me what his version of heaven looked like.
And it gave me an idea.
How you feeling, son? Um, better than I ever have.
Is, um, is this heaven? Depends on your definition.
Your friends found another way.
And your headmaster found someone else.
You're so tall.
Just like your grandfather.
Rafael, this is Mom.
If you want to call me that, but I don't think I deserve I-Is any of this real? Your friends can explain a lot better than we can.
They're waiting for you.
One last time.
Even though we couldn't heal him, we could still save him, so Lizzie and I used the coven ascendant and supernova to give Raf peace as he defined it.
Hey.
Um, what's-what's going on? What's up? What's up, dude? What's up? I-I know you got a lot of questions that need answers.
I just want you to know that I never doubted that you were gonna survive this for a second.
I knew the whole I really Okay, I-I doubted it hard.
But, uh, you know who didn't? My man.
We're gonna miss you, man.
Because a prison world is only a prison if you're alone.
We can't stay, but he can.
With everything he needs to keep him safe and happy with his family.
Goodbyes really do suck.
Always and forever.
Maybe that's what heaven is.
Can't believe she pulled it off.
Like I said, she finds ways.
Yeah.
Hope was right about another thing, too.
Goodbyes sure do suck.
Yeah.
It's more like "see you later.
" This is a prison world.
I can visit.
Yeah.
I promise I will.
Yeah.
Our world won't be the same without you, man.
Look, the only promise that I need is that you'll live your last life like we always talked about.
All in.
'Cause that's what I'm gonna do with them.
My family.
Just sucks that I got to leave this one behind.
You deserve it.
You've always been all in.
For me.
For everybody.
And I love you, brother.
I love you, too, man.
Wait, wait, wait.
I almost forgot.
Until we meet again, my once and future king.
Hey, um, are you guys sure you still want to do this with me? I was already living my life like a hermit.
So this suits me just fine.
If every day is the same here, that means there'll never be a full moon.
Sounds like an upgrade to me.
And besides, other people and I haven't gotten on so well lately, so your father and I are All in.
Guess it runs in the family.
Hey.
Did you guys know we're royalty? When did you get back? Like, an hour or two ago.
I mean, I figured you'd want to say goodbye to Raf alone.
You really came through for him.
I promised you I would.
Even if it wasn't how I figured, but You know, the supernova's still going on.
Lizzie can send you back.
You're not seriously suggesting I go back to the prison world.
Maybe.
Maybe for a little while, maybe until all of this Necromancer nonsense blows over.
You'd be with Raf, you'd be safe.
You wouldn't be there.
I don't see the point.
The point is, is that I'm scared.
Even though we saved Raf, it still feels like we lost him, and you of all people know what that does to me.
Especially now that you're human.
You mean weak? Somebody you're gonna have to spend the rest of your life worrying about and, and-and-and protecting? - Landon - Now that I'm not special.
Don't put that on me.
I've never needed you to be special.
I've always loved you for you.
I love you now.
Why are you picking a fight about this? Because not once today did you say that it would be okay.
Me giving up everything that made me fit in at this school, everything that makes me fit with you.
We only work when I'm unbreakable, and today, when you were telling me that I go back to being just me, you didn't say that it'd be okay, that we would be okay.
And I know why you didn't say it.
'Cause you don't believe it.
Admit that.
I promised Raf that I'd live my life the best I can.
And what you want isn't living, Hope.
Not to me.
So, in conclusion, Malivore is raised, beholden to me.
All the monsters incarcerated in his accursed pit are liberated.
And I, the Almighty Necromancer, shall hold dominion over them and this entire plane.
We shall hold dominion.
Partners.
That's what we said.
It really is none of your concern.
And not the reason I reunited your soul with your furry flesh.
Then why am I returned? Because you're an all-seeing oracle.
So shouldn't you know? I surely could.
But I quite like the way he talks.
Then listen well, you fantastic man-lion, and answer me this: will our plan fail or succeed? It shall come to pass as you have described.
Ah! Yeah! And what about the Salvatore students? Will they suffer? Very much.
And one will die.
Told you it'd work.
You were right partner.
