DIANA: When I get the Book of Life back

something tells me that my magic will be even stronger.

Diana? It's all in you, isn't it?

CHRIS: It's extraordinary.

Diana, this could unlock everything.

My position, the standing of the de Clermonts has been fatally undermined.

And who do you think is to blame for that?

- Matthew... - Because that's what Gerbert

wants you to believe.

And once he's re-engineered the Congregation there'll be no one to stop him.

You should kill Matthew.

BENJAMIN: We need him.

Diana will not come alone.

I'm afraid Matthew isn't doing very well.

I thought you might want to say goodbye. Time is running out.

FERNANDO: He would have been driving a grey Range Rover.

- Well, we had a message less than an hour ago. - PHOEBE: He used a VPN to send the file

- and he's scrubbed the video of its metadata. - Look again at every detail in that room.

Are they underground? Is there someone else there?

MARCUS: The car was last seen crossing the border to Poland.

If there was someone else there, we would have seen them by now, D.

- HE BANGS TABLE - We're torturing ourselves here.

YSABEAU: Baldwin, now is not the time.

- What do you want? - I asked him to come.

We need Baldwin's help.

This was sent to us last night.

I thought you might want to say goodbye.

Benjamin.

Look.

The watch Benjamin is wearing.

It belonged to Philippe.

Benjamin must have kept it.

What do you mean?

Philippe was a prisoner of war.

When they discovered he was a vampire, he was handed to medical officers for investigation.

Experimentation, torture.

You think Benjamin was one of them!

BALDWIN: He couldn't have obtained the watch any other way.

Benjamin has always hidden at the heart of atrocity.

He has plotted to undermine the de Clermonts and destroy Matthew for centuries.

I have just discovered that he has done so

with the encouragement and protection of Gerbert.

Where was Philippe held captive?

In a hospital outside a town called Chelm.

BALDWIN: It was part of the German Reich, now Eastern Poland.

Matthew and I travelled together to rescue Philippe, but we were too late.

He had lost his mind.

Benjamin wants Matthew to meet the same fate.

He's taken him back to Chelm.

We have to leave!

It's a trap.

I know what I'm walking into.

Benjamin must know you won't just turn up alone.

MIRIAM: Exactly. He wanted you to see that watch.

What game is he playing?

I don't know, but I'm not waiting here.

Baldwin, will you come with me?

Of course I will.

Marcus, we need a doctor, one who understands vampires.

And we need vampires experienced in combat.

Gallowglass. Miriam.

Phoebe, Fernando and Chris, I need you to work with Hamish.

We need the best surveillance we can get.

If Benjamin tries to move Matthew, we have to know.

Now let's go, we don't have much time.

HELICOPTER WHIRS

Your heart is slowing.

You know, my blood could revive you.

HE WHISPERS WEAKLY: Deus meus ex toto corde poenitet

me omnium meorem peccatorum.

A pious vampire.

What will it take to drive your faith out?

God cannot save you, Matthew.

No one can.

BIRDS CRY

KNOCK AT DOOR

I will deal with him.

Ysabeau is waiting for you.

SHE BREATHES DEEPLY

I'm here as a friend.

Such a strange sound.

Children's hearts beating.

Unlike any others I've heard before.

The children

of a vampire...

and a witch.

I warned you.

Warned me about what?

GERBERT: She's destroying your family.

Philippe hid the secret of blood rage successfully for centuries, as did you.

Thanks to Diana Bishop

what she has wrought

your family's in chaos, your secrets exposed.

And with the Book of Life, she has the power to destroy all vampires.

Why would she?

Diana is my son's mate, the mother of my grandchildren.

But she is still a witch.

Do you remember when we hunted witches together?

That was a long time ago.

Times change.

Indeed. Then you had a mate, many offspring, powerful allies.

Philippe was the sword that made and unmade kings.

As the head of the family, he enforced loyalty and obedience.

The de Clermonts flourished.

But now...

you are a widow, your favoured son is a criminal.

Breaking away from his crumbling family to form his own scion.

Matthew will always be my son.

He was forced to form a scion because the Congregation made his only brother an enemy.

Because Matthew broke the Covenant!

The scion has only served to embroil others and to glorify his crimes.

I know what you and Benjamin did to Philippe.

I know that you were behind his murder.

Whatever crimes my family have committed

are nothing compared to yours.

When Matthew is found guilty, he will be executed along with his wife.

Everybody implicated will also be punished.

There will not be a de Clermont left untouched.

You are too great a vampire to suffer their fate.

Give up the children now

and I guarantee the Congregation will show you leniency.

Your life...

should not come to nothing.

Go back to Venice, Gerbert.

You have no dominion here.

I gave you every chance.

DOOR OPENS, SQUEAKS

Listen.

FAINT HEARTBEATS

MARCUS: Heartbeats.

BALDWIN: Two vampires.

One is weak.

And a warmblood.

BALDWIN: Matthew.

Wait.

HE WHIMPERS Help me with this pain.

Kill me. Please.

Please.

Help.

DIANA: It's an enchantment.

Unlike any I've seen before.

HE SCREAMS: Kill me!

Shh. There, there.

It's alright.

HE WINCES

Blood rage.

BABY FUSSES

- BABY CRIES - I should have killed them at birth.

Still, it's not too late...

Satu!

Enough.

Show yourself!

Where is the Book of Life?

We are both witches.

Both weavers.

I think I told you once, I'm not your enemy.

Where is Matthew?

With Benjamin.

Why are you helping him, Satu?

Benjamin has been killing our own kind.

They are not our kind.

We are special.

They offer nothing.

But you do.

Do you remember when I tried to open you up in La Pierre?

I still have the scars.

I'm stronger now.

Give up your secrets.

Give me the book.

I am the book.

No.

That's not your destiny.

It's mine.

I will force the book out of you.

Beware the witch with blood of the lion and the wolf.

The book would have never revealed itself to you.

Our power...

is the lifeblood...

of all witches' magic.

An incredible gift we had in common.

We could have been the greatest allies...

you and I.

But instead...

you chose to use your power...

to destroy.

I bind you...

Satu Järvinen

delivering you into the hands of the goddess without power or craft.

With knot of five, this spell will thrive.

With knot of six, this spell I fix.

HE GRUNTS FEEBLY

HE WHISPERS WEAKLY: Diana.

DIANA: You need to drink from me.

MARCUS: Diana, wait.

He needs his sire.

We need to get him to Ysabeau.

HAMISH: Is he native to this realm?

No.

His wide nature grew out of both worlds.

When you go to bed, don't leave bread or milk on the table.

It attracts the dead.

Nothing can mar for him, the authentic image.

Whether he wanders through houses...

or graves.

FOOTSTEPS APPROACH

MATTHEW: Mon coeur.

SHE GASPS

Dare I ask who's winning?

I am.

More of Sarah's healing tea.

I think Sarah has forgotten what I am.

No more tea, mon coeur, I'm fine.

Really, I'm fine.

OK.

Hamish, go easy on him.

- Come on. - HAMISH BLOWS AIR

When Diana told us the Book of Life says that we're all linked

Chris and I went back and compared Diana's DNA to other creature DNA.

That's when Matthew made the connection.

It unlocked a new perspective.

There it is, in the creature chromosome, hiding in plain sight.

What is?

You have daemon DNA.

And so do I.

- You have daemon blood? - MATTHEW: Many of us do.

To varying degrees, dependent upon

whether your daemon ancestor was 20 generations ago or more recently.

It also happens to be the key to blood rage.

How?

If a vampire with the blood rage gene sires a human being with enough daemon DNA...

blood rage manifests itself.

And the overall prevalence of daemon DNA has decreased over time.

But it is the reason that I was afflicted, and Benjamin.

And Jack.

The Book of Life says that Weavers are descended from...

from witch-daemon unions.

It's also the reason that you were able to conceive our children, our Bright Born.

You said witches' powers were waning

and vampires could no longer sire

and daemons were suffering endemic mental health collapse.

It correlates directly to the decline in daemon DNA across all creature groups.

You see, by forcing us to live separately...

the Covenant was slowly destroying us.

I have to take this to the Congregation.

You can't just walk in there.

They need to know that they were wrong.

- We have the book, we have the evidence... - It doesn't matter what you have.

The Congregation will treat you like a criminal.

It will uphold the Covenant as it has done for the last nine centuries

and Gerbert will have you executed.

If I don't challenge it, our children are going to be in danger.

And none of us will ever be free.

You don't understand, Diana!

They will outvote me and I won't be able to protect you!

MATTHEW: Diana does not need protection.

She needs support. This is what Philippe intended all along.

You know that now, as well as I do.

I thought that being Philippe's heir meant I had to protect what he left behind

that if we didn't change, the world wouldn't change.

But I've been reminded nothing is forever.

But you're right.

We should challenge the Covenant.

I should have trusted you.

Why didn't you?

I always thought Philippe would have preferred you as his successor.

No, Baldwin.

He chose the right de Clermont representative in you.

He knew that you would always do what was necessary, regardless of how...

difficult.

He was playing the long game.

Yes.

As the de Clermont representative, I cannot protect Diana.

But there is another way.

BALDWIN: Our key to the Congregation meeting chamber.

You can sit in the de Clermont seat.

But I'm not a vampire.

You don't have to be.

You're a de Clermont.

Philippe made you his daughter for good reason.

As the de Clermont representative, you will chair the meeting and have the floor.

Time enough for you to challenge the Covenant.

Thank you.

Tell them what you know.

I'm ready.

Yes, you are.

So, the de Clermonts have bowed to the Congregation's demand.

You have brought us the witch.

Gerbert.

I am not the de Clermont representative today.

I am.

Baldwin has recognised me as the blood-sworn daughter of Philippe de Clermont.

LOCK CLICKS

DOORS CREAK

You've just signed your family's death warrant.

Sitting in the de Clermont's seat will not protect you.

You must answer for your crimes.

Diana has the floor. The de Clermont representative called the meeting.

Your illegal union with Matthew de Clermont, concealing his blood rage...

bearing his children!

I have it on good authority that you are responsible

for the deaths of Juliette Durand, Benjamin Fuchs...

and Peter Knox.

And let us not forget Satu Järvinen.

You spellbound a fellow witch, a member of this Congregation.

Falling in love was only made a crime by the Covenant

a law which sanctified prejudice and exclusion

and legitimised the violence that was unleashed.

I never meant to harm anyone

but I had to protect myself and my family

from attacks driven by hatred.

A hatred enshrined in your Covenant.

You knew you were defying the Covenant.

Yes. And it deserves to be broken.

It is Philippe de Clermont's law!

It has protected all of us for 900 years!

If it is allowed to stand, it will make us all extinct.

This is desperate scaremongering. It's a distraction!

DIANA: I have proof which refutes that, Gerbert.

Change is needed and it is our history that should define our future.

The truth...

is in here.

In the Book of Life.

LINDA: You found it.

The witches' lost book of spells.

The vampires' lost history.

It belongs to all of us.

I smell death.

The pages are made from creature skin.

Vampires, witches, daemons.

The pages are empty. What have you done to it?

I am the Book of Life.

You have bewitched it.

DIANA: It was bewitched long ago.

I just opened it.

DIANA: Vampires, daemons, witches, and humans

are all related.

All branches on the same tree.

Our family history is written in the book.

Our genetic profiles tell us the same story

that each member of the Congregation here

is related to one another.

This is an enchantment.

Everything in the book is backed up by science.

I'm one of the few who remembers the dark days before the Covenant.

When creatures mixed freely.

When we were hunted by humans.

It is a lie.

The Covenant was drawn up to preserve the power balance among creatures

to keep the vampires in the ascendant.

Segregation was meant to keep us safe.

But it has been catastrophic for all creatures.

The so-called purity of our bloodlines has led to species decline.

The truth is...

it is daemon DNA that is vital to all of us.

We need it to survive.

So...

as a de Clermont representative...

I propose a motion.

That the Congregation overturn the Covenant.

I second Diana's motion.

Then I must propose a countermotion.

I move that Diana Bishop and the de Clermonts complicit with her

be punished for their crimes.

We cannot allow a criminal to undermine our constitution.

AGATHA: We need to adjourn to discuss what we've heard here.

GERBERT: There is no need for discussion.

Only fools would throw out the law that ensures...

their survival.

If we're in decline, Gerbert, humans aren't our only threat.

Perhaps what we are experiencing is a natural anomaly, not related to the Covenant.

You're all welcome to examine the scientific evidence.

We have not all benefited equally under the Covenant

nor indeed in the Congregation.

Vampires are immortal.

The balance of power has always been in their favour.

The most the Congregation could consider is some degree of reform

- something gradual and measured. - Yes.

The basis of the Covenant is separatism.

It cannot be reformed.

It has got to be abolished to prevent others being victims of its terrible consequences.

HAMMER CLANGS

- HE BLOWS - DOOR OPENS

Jack.

JACK: The twins are asleep.

Sarah's looking after them.

How are you?

I'm practising what you taught me.

I feel in control.

Good.

I'm proud of you.

Now, it's going to take some time, but you'll get there in the end.

We both will.

I, uh, I wanted to give you these.

Thank you.

I love you, Jack.

Love you too.

We've talked long enough.

Then we should move to a vote.

AGATHA: We have considered Gerbert's motion

that Diana Bishop is guilty of crimes against the Covenant.

We've also considered Diana's motion...

that the Covenant should be overturned.

Diana Bishop's crimes are legion.

She must answer for them before anything else.

If the Covenant is overturned

all crimes against it will be pardoned.

AGATHA: All those in favour of abolishing the Covenant.

SHE EXHALES DEEPLY

The witch is deceiving you.

AGATHA: Silence!

We will abide by this decision.

This will be a new beginning... for all of us.

For too long, the power has rested in the hands of the same privileged few.

We've all been guilty of acting in our own best interests

failing to listen to those who had the least amount of power

who lack advocacy.

We need a new leader.

Someone who will give a voice to those who have been most overlooked

and excluded by life under the Covenant.

Agatha.

I second that.

All those in favour?

SHE LAUGHS

LINDA: Agatha!

QUIET INDISTINCT CHATTER

Your day of judgment is coming.

MATTHEW: It began with absence and desire.

It began with blood and fear.

It began with A Discovery of Witches.

Once again our world is full of wonder.

We creatures are re-emerging.

Years of oppression, fear and prejudice are fading...

as we come together.

For there is a new vision, a new world.

HE BLOWS

...one that rights the wrongs of the past

and acknowledges the sacrifices that have been made by those along the way.

And for every soul we have lost in our fight...

we've found the strength to move forward...

as their legacies live on.

Because as my father used to say...

in every ending, there is a new beginning.
