A Discovery of Witches

Thank you for everything.

I'm sorry to have brought trouble to your home.

This house has seen worse.

Be careful in Madison.

Baldwin will stall the Congregation as long as he can,

although it will be no more than a couple of days.

-But this isn't his battle, it's yours. -I know, Maman.

Take care, now.

-Whatever you need of me, I'm ready. -I thank you, Maman.

Shall we?

Home.

Madison in the fall is the best Madison there is.

There's nobody here. I told them when we were arriving.

They wanted to give us a few minutes alone with the house.

The house has been known to misbehave with new people.

-They're letting it get used to you. -So it's haunted?

We're witches. Of course, it's haunted.

Okay.

What's it capable of?

Slamming doors, flickering lights.

One time, the whole second floor disappeared for a week.

Well, nice to see you too, Tabitha.

Don't worry. It's not you I need to interrogate.

We won't be staying long.

Domenico fails to retrieve her.

You fail to retrieve her.

And now what? Are you saying that we've lost her altogether?

You expect us to believe that?

You seem extraordinarily interested in Diana Bishop, Agatha.

Is there something you'd like to tell us?

My interest is in The Book Of Life.

You promised that Diana would answer our questions.

And she will.

Once we find Satu and bring her and Diana home.

Satu has Diana?

I'm afraid it looks that way.

Gentlemen?

Our team repeated the spell work and got exactly the same result.

There are two distinct magical signatures.

Satu's with another witch.

Do we think that Diana is an ally or a prisoner?

Unclear, I'm afraid.

Let us keep the search going round the clock.

I want her found.

Why isn't Gerbert here? Do you know where he is?

Pay Miss Durand a visit, find out.

The rest of you can go home. For now, let us each take care of our own.

I intend to.

Diana!

Honey! Oh, my God!

Did the house lock you out?

What did I say? I said the house wouldn't like him.

The house likes him fine.

Tell me the truth.

All this time, did you know what was wrong with me?

Why don't we just, erm... just go inside?

No, tell me now.

What's going on?

Did you know that I was spellbound?

What?

I, erm... I guessed that you might be, yes.

Who was it?

-Diana, you have to understand... -Who? Who was it?

Rebecca and Stephen.

Honey, your parents.

No, Em! No, I don't believe it!

-Rebecca? She would never put... -Just tell me why!

-What is wrong with me? -Oh, sweetie.

Honey, there's nothing wrong with you.

No, you do not do that for no reason.

Not to your child! Not to anyone.

Believe me, Diana, you did nothing wrong.

Look. The Congregation would have tested your powers when you came of age,

just like with any other kid, but Knox, he wouldn't wait.

He was obsessed with the idea that you would inherit your mum's powers.

Rebecca and Stephen didn't want him to see you.

I mean, that's why they came here, honey, to get away from him.

Look. Whatever Rebecca's reasons were, honey,

she only meant to protect you.

You were everything to her. Stephen too.

They loved you, Diana, they loved you.

I was half myself for years and you didn't say a thing.

I had to trust that she wanted me to keep this secret for a reason.

I had to trust that what she thought was best.

And that's it?

-That's all you know? -I promise. I said I promise.

Let her go.

Excuse me?!

What the hell?

What's wrong with the house?

It's... It's Peter Knox. He's found us.

The house is trying to protect us.

We're out of time.

Mum, why are you sad?

I'm not sad, pumpkin. I'm here for a story.

Your favorite story,

The Magic Ribbons And The Shadow Prince.

You have to stay very still if you want to hear it, okay, sweetheart?

Once upon a time, there was a young witch...

a very brave young witch who was covered in invisible ribbons...

Guardians of the elements, I call you.

..in all the colors of the rainbow.

Guardians of the elements...

Lie down, sweetheart. You need to stay very still, remember?

Shield you from your power. We bind you.

The ribbons that wrapped around the witch were special ribbons.

..We bind you.

Mum, I don't like it.

Guardians of the elements, I call you.

It's okay, baby. Look at me, look at me.

-Mum. -The ribbons would protect the girl

from witches who were jealous of her power.

Then one day, when she was all grown up,

-she met the Shadow Prince. -Mum.

What have we done?

Our magic is who we are.

She's safe, she's alive. We had no other option.

One day, if she really needs it, she'll find it again.

Mum, finish the story.

He'll put his hand on your head for a few minutes, that's all.

You don't have to do anything and it won't hurt, I promise.

We'll be right out here, sweetheart, okay?

Hello, Diana. I'm Peter. Come here.

There's nothing to be afraid of.

We just need to take a little look at what's inside.

-Here we go on an adventure! -This bag is so heavy!

Rebecca, you have every book known to man in this suitcase!

Come here, give me a hug.

We'll be back in a couple of weeks, okay? You be a good girl.

If Peter comes back, it's us he'll be looking for, not Diana.

Look after your Aunt Sarah.

Rebecca, what is going on?

-Please don't ask me that. -Okay.

Ah, here we go!

Yeah?

Hey, sweetie, can I have my bag? Can I have a hug?

We'll be back before you know it, pumpkin.

Be good.

Bye!

-Bye! -Bye!

Bye!

Come on! Hot chocolate and marshmallows.

Definitely.

Diana.

Mum.

There's nothing wrong with you, Diana. There never was.

Normally, when you're spellbound...

that's it.

You're bound for life.

Until that person sets you free.

-But not you. -No, I think they tied it to need.

If I was ever in trouble, I could...

still call upon my magic

and I wouldn't be alone.

Matthew, you were in their stories.

The spell was somehow tied to me too.

To my need for you.

They knew I'd fall in love with you.

Coffee, Sarah?

You know, I thought she'd come home and tell you herself.

But then, you know...

we buried them...

and it just didn't seem to matter.

We were only holding ourselves together.

I suspected that Diana's magic just wasn't right.

I mean, you saw it. Honey, it came and went.

And it's not like those old stories about spellbound witches

that are left with nothing.

The thought of saying those words out loud,

to you, telling you that I thought

Rebecca spellbound her daughter.

I just didn't want to break your heart again.

She didn't trust me, Em.

Oh.

Darling, it wasn't like that.

It was. It was and it's okay.

She knew too well...

She knew you'd be careful...

and patient.

And I'd just rant and rage and...

go after Knox with a carving knife.

Well, maybe you should have.

Well, there's still time.

Sarah, look at me, please.

Please, please, please, look at me.

She trusted you, she did. Honey, she trusted you

to be the carer, the warrior.

To keep her safe while she was gone.

And that is exactly what you did, my love.

Oh, honey, don't cry, please!

Who is it?

Who is there?

Who is it?

Who's there?

You killed Rebecca Bishop and Stephen Proctor.

Where's Diana?

You told me...

opening someone up would affect the spell caster too.

And you knew it because you cast a spell yourself.

Twice.
