Sleepy Hollow s02e14 Episode Script

Kali Yuga

- Previously on Sleepy Hollow - When we waver in our duty, monsters get loose and people die.
There is no need for tempers to flare.
I can't believe you let her talk you into this.
I did not! We have a lot to talk about.
But no, now is not the time.
He doesn't need a medical exam, he needs a supernatural one.
Maybe Katrina could do it.
Should you ever need my aid, hold this charm and think of me.
I can find you.
No matter what obstacles we face, no matter how many disagreements we have, our bond cannot be broken.
Maybe I'm crazy Come on, y'all.
Maybe I'm crazy Maybe I'm crazy Probably Huzzah! I had no idea she performed.
She used to do - karaoke all the time.
- Probably My mom said she had the voice of an angel.
Sorry, I didn't mean to bring up a sore spot.
Oh, Orion? No.
The rogue angel Orion was dealt with.
The lieutenant and I made our peace.
Okay, good.
Just seems you two have been spending a lot less time together lately.
Has she said something? No.
Right.
Well, then, we've moved forward.
- Ooh.
- Brava! Brava! All right, mm-hmm, okay, yeah.
- Crane, pick a song.
- Ah.
Where might I find the Catch Club? What are they? The Beatles from 1760s? No.
Rather, the Beatles were the Catch Club of the 1960s, thank you.
Women swooned at the sound of their warbling.
Alas, lost to history.
Well, everyone's got at least one good karaoke song in 'em.
What's your go-to, Nick? '70s rock? "Oops, I Did It Again"? Well, as much as I would love to serenade y'all, looks like my answer's clear.
Time to go.
Got a line on some rare shurikens.
Throwing stars? Taisho or Showa period? McKenna claims they're Edo.
Patrick McKenna brokered the deal? that weasel's selling you knockoffs.
Want some company? Nah, it's a short hop.
Be back before you finish your drink.
If you're late, I pick your song.
Where's McKenna? Carmilla.
What are you doing here? Is that any way to greet the woman who raised you? I'm pretty sure you got the message.
I've been avoiding you for about a decade.
Yes.
You take care.
It's more complicated than that.
Look, Nicky this is hard for me, too.
I wouldn't be here if I didn't have to be.
What do you need, Carmilla? Second story guy? Courier? Call Carter or Jesse.
I have.
Carter's doing five to ten for a B and E.
Jesse's dead.
The job's here in Sleepy Hollow.
We're gonna rob Theodore Knox's estate.
Knox? You mean, like Fort Knox? It'll be just you and me.
What I've gotten myself into my life's on the line now.
No.
I'm sorry.
It's too weird.
Out of the blue.
That's the way life is.
You owe me, Nicky.
Time to repay your debt.
As I was a-walking Down by the Locke Hospital Cold was the morning And dark was the day And who should I spy Not exactly Billboard Top 100.
- But one of my shipmates - The talent is there, he just needs new materiel.
Wrapped in a blanket Cheer loudly.
He's been through the wringer lately.
As cold as the clay Well, you guys were on opposite sides of a pretty major split about Headless.
You know, Katrina was right to free Abraham when she did.
Turns out that Orion was about to go biblical - on Sleepy Hollow.
- Hmm.
But you and Crane are okay? You talked it out? We're fine.
And are you lecturing me - about communicating? - I communicate.
That's what's happening now between us.
Then you can tell me what's going on between you and Hawley.
Nothing.
So play the drums slowly Maybe a little bit more than that.
Which is why it's weird he hasn't responded to my phone calls or texts.
He said he'd only be gone a little while.
He might have just lost track of time.
No.
No, Hawley wouldn't blow me off like that.
For he's a young sailor Cut down in his prime.
- Yeah! - Thank you.
Perhaps I should have done the one about the bass, about the bass.
Everything all right? Hawley's a no-show.
Oh, well, no great surprise.
- He'll turn up again in a fortnight.
- Crane he told Jenny that he was coming back tonight.
Ah.
Well, he is a man of his word.
We should investigate.
That's gonna have to wait.
There's been a breach at the archives.
When did that happen? Just now.
Silent alarm was triggered.
I didn't know we had an alarm.
I installed one when you moved out.
Oh.
Jenny, wait! Hawley! Go back! I'll explain later.
What did you take? What are you doing? Just back off, Mills! She's desperate and she's dangerous.
Who? Hawley! Hawley! What the hell was that? The last few months have been a real roller coaster, Mr.
Irving.
You have fled the police, led your own department on a statewide manhunt, committed perjury Your Honor, we have proven that Mr.
Irving's confession was signed under duress.
Don't interrupt me, Counselor.
Or do you prefer "Mrs.
Irving"? I understand it's unorthodox to represent a family member But she's the best defense attorney I know.
I tried going with an outside firm.
That didn't work out so well.
Based on my readings, the State isn't pursuing any charges.
No, ma'am.
Then I have no choice, based on the new evidence.
This court has determined that the defendant, Franklin Irving shall be exonerated of all charges.
Oh, my God, Frank.
I'm free.
I can't believe it.
I'm finally coming home to you and Macey.
It's over.
What's wrong? Nothing.
It's it's nothing.
We should have Katrina examine the creature's residue.
It was dripping off of her claws.
Like some sort of supernatural venom.
I had it analyzed already.
Oh, that was quick.
It's a mix of sialic and hydrofluoric acid.
This stuff could burn through anything.
Claws secreting acidic venom.
Vetala.
An undead human being of Hindu lore that serves Kali, goddess of death and regeneration.
Who is crazy fast, has inhuman strength and is immortal.
How did Hawley get involved with a vetala? He went home with a succubus, remember? Guy gets around.
Oh! He mentioned, uh, the guy who brokered the deal McKenna.
Yeah, he's a local fence.
His front is a pawnshop in town.
We need to pay him a visit and see what he knows.
And the archives? Hawley clearly took something of value.
Finding it should lead to finding him.
Yeah, but we don't want to lose McKenna.
This mess'll still be here when we get back.
Well, then, in the words of Philip II of Macedon "Divide ET impera.
" Divide and conquer.
Hmm, that's a good plan.
Time is of the essence.
Katrina can assist me in finding Hawley whilst you two find McKenna.
See you later, Crane.
This is McKenna's place.
The guy who set up Hawley.
Give me a minute! So, I take it you and Crane still haven't talked.
You were there.
We worked it out.
"Divide and conquer.
" You really think you two work better apart than together? Look, he's trying to figure out his relationship with his witch wife while they're mourning their Horseman-of-War son's death, which I'm guessing is pretty complicated.
So I am not gonna sweat the small stuff.
It's not gonna stay small forever, Abbie.
How can I help? Jenny Mills.
Abbie Mills.
Sheriff's Department.
How about you tell me who paid you to set up Nick Hawley? No idea what you're talking about, ma'am.
Okay.
Let's go.
Precinct.
I'm sure I can find a violation or two around here.
Unless you have prints and IDs for every item? Come on, you bring me downtown, I'm still not gonna talk.
And you've just wasted a day on paperwork.
What is this good cop, bad cop? I'm not a cop.
Aah! Did you see that, Abbie? This guy just tried to assault me! What's that? Ten years given his priors? It was a woman.
I don't know her name.
Aah! Okay! Carmilla.
Carmilla Pines.
And you delivered Hawley to her? - If anything happens to him - Okay.
Okay.
Who is Carmilla Pines? She's a treasure hunter.
But not like Hawley.
She's dangerous.
A killer.
And she turns the task into a leisure activity with a rather lively ditty.
So, she sings, she cleans, she travels by parasol A modern witch specializing in housework.
It hardly sounds progressive.
Oh, no, no.
Miss Poppins seems quite fulfilled.
What is it? This charm is a duplicate of the Halo Blade wielded by the angel Orion.
That sigil is a beacon.
Used to call upon an angel.
Miss Mills must have received it from him and kept it from me.
As she did when she first allied herself with him.
Got a name on our vetala.
Carmilla Pines, notorious treasure hunter.
And Hawley's legal guardian from 12 to 18.
So, Mr.
Hawley was raised by a criminal who is also a monster? I believe I have discovered what Carmilla is after.
Hawley filched architectural designs - belonging to Henry Knox.
- As in Fort Knox? Well, before they named a fort after him, he was a revolutionary hero.
Built a home nearby used to safeguard weapons and supplies from the British.
And now Hawley has the blueprints.
Knox had a singular obsession locks and puzzles.
He built the vault in his estate with the Sons of Liberty, a Boston spy ring, to ensure that the colonists' weapons were protected to the upmost security.
The contents in Knox's vault were considered very dangerous.
They still are.
The estate belongs to his heir now.
I've heard of him.
Theodore Knox? He collects black market antiques and weapons.
Rumor is he has an entire storehouse of occult items at his place.
So, whatever Carmilla's after in the vault Is something we dare not let her have.
Original architectural designs from the Knox estate.
Direct from a 1775 Sons of Liberty folio.
Now, this symbol in the corner represents a lever lock system.
Its tumblers for the vault they run through the walls of the entire house, making the house like a fortress.
One big safe.
And this is how you crack it.
Impressive, Nicky.
Who were those people in the tunnels? Don't worry about them.
I did what you asked.
Now, tell me: what the hell happened to you? It was after you ran off I ran because I saw you murder someone.
And that was before you were whatever the hell you are now.
I tried to protect you.
- You ran.
- I saw you.
The way you killed him, Carmilla.
That wasn't the first time.
How could I have stayed? I came looking for you, you know? Tracked you to Mumbai.
But I got caught by a Thuggee death cult.
And they turned me into this thing.
Don't put this on me.
This is what they did to me.
It's the mark of the vetala.
When I got wind that you were here, I left you alone.
I didn't want to burden you with this.
But Knox has an artifact that could give me back my life.
I got you the blueprints.
You're on your own for the rest.
Did you hear me? I'm the only family you have left.
The artifact in Knox's vault will make me human again.
Look at me.
Help me.
One last time.
One and done.
"One and done.
" You enjoying yourself, Speed Racer? It's my first time driving a car with real horsepower.
Can you blame me? Oh, and on the subject.
Is said power referring to a horse of Arabian, Turkoman or Barb breeding? There is a difference.
Whichever horse is fastest.
Knox's swap meet started an hour ago.
If you scratch Hawley's car, serves him right.
How did Mr.
Hawley come to be raised by Carmilla Pines? When he was 12, a few days before Christmas, his parents died in an accident.
She was his godmother.
He always described her as this kind of - female Indiana Jones type.
- She couldn't - have been a vetala then.
- Something happened between them.
It seemed like he really missed her.
But you know Hawley.
He never talked about it.
Are we certain this Carmilla will strike tonight? Knox holds these black market exchanges a couple times a year.
It's the perfect distraction for Carmilla to make her move.
An unusual crowd, loose guest list.
To Knox, it's not who you are, it's what you have.
So these are our invitations.
When Carmilla arrives on the property, she will make her way to the vault.
Unless she's waiting for a specific time.
We need to surveil the place first.
And at all costs, we must stay together.
Talk to me.
It's the only way we're gonna make it through this.
Okay.
You were dead, Frank.
We saw where you were buried.
We put flowers on your grave.
We mourned you.
And now you're here and you're sleeping next to me again? I just I just need to know if it's really you.
You think Henry still has some sort of hold on my soul? I don't know.
But I'm scared, Frank.
We're supposed to pick up Macey tomorrow from my parents, but I need to know for sure that my husband's back.
What do you want me to do? I don't have an explanation for this.
Only the fact that I am alive.
Remember what Abbie said? At the precinct? I know Abbie and Crane aren't your favorite people right now.
But Abbie told me Katrina could help us.
Good evening, ladies and gentlemen I don't know if I said this before, but thank you, Nicky.
Hey.
I'm here for you.
This job is no different from the others.
Knox is an overweight, entitled black market thief.
We're just stealing what was already stolen.
There's Knox with the belly dancers.
See right there? Carmilla and Hawley.
We can't lose them.
Jenny, you take Hawley.
Crane and I will take Carmilla.
Excuse me.
That's, uh, quite the bow you've got there.
Black walnut stock, forged medieval limbs.
I'd say late 15th century.
Thank you.
Uh, Teddy Knox.
- Huh? - Of course you are.
The resemblance is uncanny.
Uh, I've seen images of your ancestors.
- Excuse me.
- Uh how can you just wear it like that? Linen with patriot blue - Crane? - facing.
Ah, late 18th century, mint condition Okay.
Thank you, Sons of Liberty.
So your aunt's a monster.
Mills.
Damn it, I told you before, you got to get out of here.
What is Carmilla stealing from Knox? I don't ask questions when I don't want to know the answers.
That's not good enough for me, and I thought you were better than that, too.
It's like you said she's a monster.
I don't have a lot of other options.
You have us.
We can fight her.
I'm not gonna let you say no.
Okay, fine, come on, quick.
I'm trying to help you! I know, Mills, and thank you, but for your own good, stay out of this.
Lieutenant?! Unhand her.
Now.
You shoot, she dies.
No! Don't! Stop! Hey.
We got what you wanted.
Let's go.
This one is police.
Harm her, and you will seal your fate.
There's another way to do this.
You let them live, they promise not to come after you and I'll stay.
I'll stay with you.
Hawley, what are you doing? There are three of us and one of her.
It's not gonna work like that.
Carmilla, you taught me to make deals, not mistakes.
I don't trust them.
We lock them in the vault.
Knox comes by in a day or so, but by then we'll be halfway across the globe.
Mr.
Hawley.
When we first met, I considered you nothing but a faithless privateer.
But I have come to know you as a man of courage.
A man of compassion.
A man who fights for his friends.
Maybe you had it right the first time.
We have a deal? Deal.
Hawley, don't do this.
I'll make sure Knox knows you're in here.
We're coming after you.
Don't.
I mean that.
We need a way out of here.
Can we contact Miss Jenny? Not without cell service.
Not to add to our stresses, but I recognize the statue Carmilla stole.
The Bajrayogini Statue of Kali.
Yeah, I saw it, too, in the Hindu book of lore.
It's one of a kind.
And also the key to a dark ceremony that turns humans into vetalas.
How did we end up here anyway? We were bush-league upstairs.
You went after Carmilla without me.
I thought you were going to wait.
I thought you were signaling me to follow her and move on.
That was the plan.
I thought the plan was for us to stick together.
Clearly, our signals were crossed.
Another failure of communication to add to our list.
What is that supposed to mean? Well, it means the roster of our missteps is growing to karaoke catalog-sized proportions.
Does this have anything to do with me not mentioning the silent alarm in the archives? An excellent idea.
As was taking the toxins to the lab.
Yeah, I didn't intend to keep it from you; we're just moving fast.
Agreed, and neither require my consent.
But I cannot help but wonder why you did not share with me Orion's sigil.
We should pause this discussion until we have found a way out.
I've developed rather a distaste for being cramped in small spaces.
You were a real hero to your friends back there.
Well, I meant what I said.
Look, whatever you become, it doesn't change the fact that you took me in when I had no one.
I shouldn't have left.
I know that now.
I owed you better than that.
I wish I could believe you.
I truly do.
No This whole thing's a con.
You won't abandon me again, Nicky.
We were family.
And thanks to the goddess Kali, we will be again.
Knox would have built an exit.
A fail-safe in case he locked himself inside.
Hmm The Liberty Tree.
The Sons of Liberty used this symbol, which may Aha.
Huh.
Knobs.
These must control the hinges.
But how are they? All right.
Each knob is marked with an alchemical symbol.
Push the correct knob, the door will open.
We don't know which one that is.
If we choose wrong Then I doubt we leave the vault alive.
Quandary, indeed.
About the sigil, I should have told you.
Orion gave it to me, I used it to find him.
Felt like bringing it up after the fact was opening a can of worms.
I thought it was over.
So did I.
Okay, you are by no means the only one responsible.
I decided Abraham was worthy of saving without consulting you.
Perhaps we both decided it was easier to act than to talk.
Yeah.
These problems have always resolved themselves in the past.
What if this is indicative of something larger? What if we're not as good partners today as we were in the past? Maybe our whole thing has started to go awry.
Even in the times of great peril we could always rely on one another.
But in the past few weeks, today, I have felt our bond sorely tested.
Are you having a moment? I believe I am.
The thought of testing a bond.
During the war, Henry Knox's greatest achievement was stealing British cannons from Ticonderoga.
Cannons that were bonded in iron.
Oh, my.
One time you're wrong.
What are the damn odds? I'll admit I was excited, I may have acted rashly.
I'll make sure to put that on your tombstone.
I'm not gonna die in Knox's vault, even if it goes all Star Wars trash compactor on us.
Star Wars? What did they use? They had a robot.
Ah.
You knew Knox better than anyone.
Which of these chemicals would he have picked? Knox was a student of alchemy.
He could've found reason to choose any one of these chemicals.
Forget about the war hero and the student.
What did the man love? Uh-uh, gambling.
Cards, horse racing, he was addicted.
He died penniless trying to line his pockets with gold.
Gold! Gold.
We seriously named Fort Knox after a dude who died in debt.
Well, he had other redeeming qualities.
Abbie.
Where were you? Hawley locked me in a closet.
He locked us in a death trap.
I'm gonna kick his ass.
Where's Carmilla? She left with a Hindu statue.
That can turn people into vetalas.
I think one vetala's enough.
Yes, which is why we need to find her.
Hawley stole my cell phone.
Ten bucks says he still has it.
Which means we can track it.
It's not exactly the Ritz-Carlton.
I'll do a sweep of the perimeter, see how many guys we're up against.
We need to find a way to defeat Carmilla once and for all.
We need to find that statue.
The statue.
Of course.
Kali has six hands, four of them holding items and two of them in specific positions.
Mudras.
The symbolic language of gesture in Hinduism and Buddhism.
Thank you, yoga class.
I'm still not going back.
So, the top left hand was positioned like this.
Privthi.
The symbol of life.
And the right hand, Tarjani.
The symbol for destruction.
The bottom two hands on the right arms had a torch and an iron stone.
There it is.
Carmilla fled the tunnels because of the open flame on your torch and the iron tips to these bolts.
We can kill her with iron and fire.
The statue works.
Carmilla, please, think about what you're doing.
You once told me I made you a better person.
I'm not a person anymore, Nicky.
I know it's hard for you to see now.
But you'll thank me later.
Shh.
Oh, you're gonna love death, Nicky.
Soon, the last of Kali's tears will be wept.
Then the statue will take us through the final journey.
Step away from him! Come on.
Nicky.
You can't.
I'm sorry.
Oh.
So, this is the welcome I get from now on.
Can't say I blame you.
You come bearing gifts? Well, friends don't steal from friends, right? Look, Jenny, now you know why I keep my distance.
I get it.
She was your family.
But you also have a family here in Sleepy Hollow.
You know that, right? Thank you.
I mean that.
You're leaving, aren't you? Mills, I put you in danger.
Betrayed your trust.
I, uh, I can't be here.
I'm gonna hunt her down.
You know, I'd ask you to come with me.
Except you know what I'd say.
So, what happened when we were in the vault? Are we good? We are.
We are far greater than the sum of our parts, but we cannot rely on our bond to last unless we tend to it.
Damn straight.
That's why I thought it's time we do a duet.
Next up is Abbie and Ichabod.
- Lieutenant, you learned my shanty.
- Mm.
No, the song's called "Proud Mary," but you can do it.
You just killed a vetala.
You can handle a little rock and roll.
Come on.
I dumped a lot of 'tane down in New Orleans That makes no sense.
I never lost a min Minute of sleep Sleeping till I hitched a ride on the riverboat queen You know that big wheels keep on turning Turnin' Proud Mary Keep on burnin' Keeps on burnin' And we're rollin' Rollin' Rollin', yeah Rollin' Rollin' on the river Rollin' on the river Said we're rollin' This ceremony will dig into the very fabric of your being, which may be unpleasant and dangerous.
It might be best if you stood back.
I just want my family to know that I'm free and clear of Henry's influence.
Where is Henry? Excuse me? The fact that you are here in the flesh tells me that my son is still alive.
Where is he? I have no idea what you're talking about.
Whatever magic bound you to the Horseman of War is gone.
I cannot say how you came back to life, only that my son has no influence on your soul.
I think we got ourselves a miracle.
Promise me, this is the start of a new chapter of our lives.
Oh, baby.
I guarantee it.
