All language subtitles for Mayfair.Witches.S02E06

Stay tuned after the show

for an exclusive look inside the episode.

Julien, where did Albrecht take lasher?

- I can see inside people.
- What are you talking about?

I'm a witch.

You interrogating me?

No. They'll do that in Amsterdam.

I know that you care about
what happens to the family.

Family is all I care about.

If Julien erased cortland's memories,

there's got to be a reason why.

You have a family in Scotland,
and that's where lasher's going.

Ian's my brother.

Ashlar, welcome home.

- Albrecht, a word.
- How long until the ceremony?

Will you come with us to kilbride?

I don't understand.

Why would they bring him here?

They're mayfairs.

Wouldn't the same thing
happen to their women?

You know, like what
happened to my mom?

Yeah, my father never was
bothered by a body count.

I wish I knew what happened
between them and the victrola.

I can help her.

I was raised by the man.

I... I know how he thinks.

But she's still barely talking to me.

Can't say I blame her.

I'm just glad her fella's coming to.

Sounds like you got it all set up

with the lab in Edinburgh.

She'll feel a lot better
when we meet up with her.

Did you see this?

Look.

Dolly Jean said all of the
window glass cracked at once

and birds are coming in.

Damn it.

Good god.

What happens if the house falls apart

and jojo's still in there?

That's not going to happen.

Whatever game Julien's
playing, we're going to win.

Of course we will.

And we don't need lasher.

We just need a little vial of his blood.

As soon as we get there, I'm going to

start feeling for lasher.

And you should do your thing
and see what you can gather

about Ian and his family.

I'll start to remember things and places

as soon as I come across them.

I mean, that's gotta help somehow.

You know, I know you don't believe it,

but I am doing my best to help you.

Now I can't change the past,

but I am trying to support you now.

Whatever.

Just... let's just try to
keep our voices down, ok?

These are locals, and they're listening.

Anyway, the food will kill us

before anyone else has a chance to.

What's he up to then?

I don't see him.

Let me see. Let me see.

Where is he?

There's nowhere for him

Jesus fucking Christ.

Who's there?

Please, let me out.

Ashlar, I'm Abel. I'm Ian's son.

Where's Albrecht?

Where's Albrecht?

Albrecht's in Edinburgh.

I think he said he'd be back tomorrow.

I don't understand why I'm here.

- This is your home.
- I'm really sorry.

I thought my father had
explained everything to you.

I'm afraid he's not here at the moment.

His father?

He's off dealing with some
interlopers or something.

You are Saint ashlar,
he who comes again.

The last of the taltos.

Taltos?

Let's just go.

You don't have to tell him anything.

Where's Rowan?

I need Rowan. Please.

She's not who you need.

You need your mate,
and... and she's here,

and she's waiting for you.

She's been waiting for 500 years.

Who is she?

I'll tell you about her.

Let me come in.

Why haven't I seen her?

You're not to see her
before the wedding day.

The, timing is important.

You're lying.

- There's no one else like me.
- I'm not lying.

I swear to you.

Then take me to her.

Now.

It's only possible if I
put you in restraints.

If you'll let me.

You know, I'm really glad you're here.

Me too.

Anything?

No, not yet.

That's a flat.

Shit.

No.

This was Julien.

You think so?

Someone working for him.

This is how it starts.

This is where he wants us.

Hey, it's ok to feel scared.

It makes sense evolutionarily.

I'm not scared of him.

I'm scared of what it's
going to take to beat him.

You guys, kilbride's
only a couple miles away.

We can walk.

See?

It's that way.

What... wait... but... but
what... what about the luggage?

It's fine. We can come back for it.

Something tells me it'll be safe out here

in the middle of nowhere.

Look.

There it is.

It's where Suzanne
first called lasher down

from the spirit realm to serve our family.

I always thought it was
such a beautiful story,

lasher passing from witch to
witch through the generations.

But it was never for us.

It was for them, for my brother.

No.

That isn't how the story ends.

Come on.

Let's go meet them.

I'll see y'all at the hotel.

- I need to charge my phone.
- Ok.

What the hell is this?

- Mind yourself.
- Ok.

Moira?

Michaelmas.

Michaelmas.

Something to do with the harvest?

Are you getting anything
from these people?

Nothing useful.

I'm gonna try to find someone

who doesn't terrify me to talk to.

Ok. Don't go far.

I'll see what I can find out.

- Hey, that's the guy...
- what?

That took lasher. That's Albrecht.

Where?

Are you sure?

I thought so.

Taltos will end your suffering.

- Hey.
- Hey.

So apparently michaelmas
is a catholic feast

in honor of the archangel Michael.

There's, also a dragon
involved, but I'm not sure how.

This doesn't seem very catholic.

Yeah, well, I guess they
do it a little differently here

in kilbride, mostly
because of the mayfairs,

who put a lot of money
into the festival each year.

Let's go meet cortland
at the hotel so we can talk.

Wait.

Moira is on to something.

Let me just text her to meet us here.

This way.

Don't be glum.

I'm sure you'll be convincing.

Your suitcase, please.

Thank you.

Busy day?

Ever since Daniel molloy's book,

it's been all hands on deck.

And now this business?

Here she comes.

Hello.

Ok.

Wonderful.

Hello, ciprien.

Welcome to Amsterdam.

I'm anamika.

I need you to know that I had no idea

and still have no idea
what Albrecht escher

was planning for lasher.

No, no, I know this.

Absolutely.

I'm sorry.

All of this does not set
a very nice tone for us

to work together.

Not very friendly.

Let's start over.

Would you like a coffee?

I'm sorry, work together?

Aren't we headed to my hearing?

Your hearing is over.

You've been cleared.

But we need your help.

Get this off me.

Of course.

Apologies for that as well.

Yes, so you help.

We do not know where Albrecht's gone.

He covered his tracks.

We do have a clue to his whereabouts.

We need you to use
your gift to decipher it.

Come with me.

Absolutely not.

I'm sorry?

Did I say something to offend you?

See, the thing is, all this
secrecy, all this hierarchy,

I was never given enough information

to understand the whole
story, the whole picture.

When I was a child when
the talamasca took me in,

I thought they saved me.

But in the past few
months, I've come to realize

that they didn't save me.

They acquired me.

I was just another tool in their toolbox.

Your toolbox.

I was never the carpenter.

I was always the hammer.

I'm not going to do this anymore

unless I understand exactly what it is

that we're building together.

I completely understand your feelings.

Your trust was abused by Mr. Escher,

and we condemn him for that,
among his many other offenses.

But I'm not him.

I'm not going to treat you as he did.

Then prove it.

Give me his job.

Make me the head of
the New Orleans division.

You do that and I'll help you.

Good luck.

If I'm going to waste time in Amsterdam,

I'd at least like to ride a
bike and see a Van gogh.

It's not a decision I
can make on my own.

Give me a few hours.

No, nothing under Larkin.

Ok, yeah, but look, see,
we have a reservation.

You used a booking app.

That's not us.

That's a third party.

You'll have to take it up with them.

Ok, well, can you at
least call us a tow truck

so that we can go find another hotel?

That's Ben who drives
the tow dressed as a salad.

I'd say he's done for
the day, wouldn't you?

Well, cortland's a lot of help.

He's fast asleep in the pub.

Yeah, he's jet lagged.

So they're saying that we
don't have a reservation.

Literally no room at the inn.

Is this place owned by
someone named Mayfair?

I don't know.

I just started.

I have a lift for you.

Hamish will drive you to the other hotel.

Wait here, please.

Who... who's Hamish?

What hotel?

It's not a coincidence that
our mind reader goes missing.

We're not leaving here without moira.

I don't understand why this is necessary.

Well, no one's lying to you.

See for yourself.

Who is that?

Emaleth.

This isn't ok.

Something is very wrong.

Try the hotel again.

Wait.

Hey.

Hi.

I can't find my friend.

She's about 23.

She's an American with brown hair.

And I'm just really worried.

Sounds lovely.

I'd say your friend met a lad.

She's having a pint somewhere.

Come and see me if she
doesn't turn up in the morning.

Yeah, she's not having
a pint somewhere,

and I've been texting her
and she's not texting back.

I really need your help.

Sweetheart, if ignoring a few texts

amounts to missing,

I'd say my daughter goes
missing almost every day.

Oi, you the folks needing a ride?

No, thank you.

I don't think she's coming, Rowan.

I can't keep waiting, you lot.

Are you coming or you're not?

How much further?

Not far now.

What's the name of the hotel again?

Now, see here, young man.

I said it's not far.

Is that... that's the hotel?

Rowan, isn't it?

Welcome home.

It's an honor.

I'm your uncle Ian.

You're my uncle?

I was told we were
being taken to a hotel.

Well, we see a lot of
coming and going here.

We're practically the crowne Plaza.

Brother.

It's been too long.

Yes, it has.

It's... it's been a lifetime, Ian.

Why didn't you tell
him who you were, hey?

What are you playing at?

This is my son, Hamish.

And this handsome guy, is
this your plus one, Rowan?

Sam Larkin.

Where's lasher?

Mother bear.

I love it.

Of course, you must be so worried.

You must be dying to see him.

I can assure you, he's absolutely fine.

He's having a lovely time.

And I'll take you to him, of course.

But we're just setting the table

for michaelmas dinner.

Mother's prepared quite the spread.

Won't you join us?

Do you have any luggage?

No.

No, our car broke down, so
we don't have any luggage.

But you already know that.

Of course.

We've had quite a string of misfortunes.

Yeah.

The car.

And then we lost cousin moira in town.

Lost her?

What do you mean, she's missing?

Dearie me.

I'll call the lads.

If she's in kilbride, we'll find her.

Come in. Come in.

You must be famished.

Or would you prefer a ride back to town?

Yeah, that would be great.

- Thank you so...
- Actually just one second.

One second.

Of course.

Listen.

We were supposed to lay low until

we understood what was going on.

This is the opposite of that.

They could have had young
Hamish drive us into a lake.

Instead, he drove us to dinner.

- Yeah.
- I should talk to my brother.

Let's see what we can learn.

That's what we're here for.

No.

We'd love to stay for dinner.

Thank you so much.

Lovely.

Well, you'll want to freshen up.

Rosie will show you to your rooms.

This way, please.

You'll have a wee drink, you, right?

You know what?

I'm actually going to look around.

They know about moira.

After you.

All right.

Pick your poison.

I'll join you in that.

So you knew we were coming.

Friend spotted you in town.

You hadn't made much
of an attempt to blend in.

Well, I thought we had.

Well, thanks.

So, when do I expect
to see our dear Albrecht?

He's gone.

He scurried off back to Amsterdam.

Job done.

To you and me, standing
under the same roof once more.

Do you remember when we were boys?

One night we swiped
one of father's bottles,

went down the rocks
with, what was her name?

Nelly.

And her sister.

Yes.

Now, that was quite a night.

You know, I think now,
with the benefit of hindsight,

I think he kept us apart on purpose.

Well, how do you figure?

Well, for years, I hated you.

I just hated you.

I was jealous.

He came here every now
and then to look in on us.

But you, he raised you, didn't he?

I always thought you and
him together over there

enjoying the finer things.

Me here with a wheelbarrow full of shite

doing his dirty work day in, day out.

What kind of work
did he have you doing?

Why?

What did he tell you?

Well, he told me that you were over here

doing very important work
for the future of the family.

Did he?

Right.

So you see what he did?

Told you I was doing
something important over here.

Told me you were doing
something important over there.

Mr. Money man, chairman of the board.

He made us hate each other.

What I want to know is why.

Did it serve his interest in
some way keep us apart?

Or was it just a game?

One of his games.

Exactly.

Hello.

I saw you dancing earlier.

You were very good.

My name is Rowan.

What's your name?

Bonnie.

I danced the part of
the bride of Saint ashlar.

I don't think I know that Saint.

You don't know Saint ashlar?

No.

The patron Saint of kilbride?

Saint ashlar makes the plants grow.

He puts the fish in the sea.

He keeps us safe from Satan.

And now he's come again.

Tomorrow I'll get to meet him.

There she is.

You've met Bonnie, I see.

Dinner's about 10
minutes out, so I'm told.

What are you drinking, Rowan?

Have a seat, lads.

I'll have whatever you're having, please.

Bonnie tells me that she's going to meet

Saint ashlar tomorrow.

What's the occasion?

Well, the wedding, of course.

The wedding of Saint
ashlar and his bride, emaleth.

Well, that's why you've all come.

You know that we're
not here for a wedding.

Yeah, you say that now,
but you haven't met emaleth.

Emaleth is lovely.

You'll adore her.

And together, what a force they'll be.

What do you know of the taltos?

I know a little bit... From your father.

He hadn't told you that we'd spoken.

You see, the taltos, were once

thought deities in Scotland.

They possess a vital sort of energy.

You may have felt it in
your lasher, as you call him.

The miraculous life-giving beings.

Marguerite taught Julien all about them.

Brilliant woman.

Humans had driven the taltos
to extinction, save for one.

Our emaleth.

This union will bring them back.

It's funny how father didn't
see fit to tell you that part.

Why is that now, do you think?

Hello.

All of them?

Good.

Well, have them check
the pubs as well, will you?

Lads are out looking for your cousin now.

Wonderful.

Ok, so you... you were saying about why

why Julien didn't want me to know

about my own son's wedding?

I suspect he was worried
you wouldn't be able to see

the bigger picture.

We should have invited you.

I apologize.

Can we just cut the bullshit?

I don't want to stop a wedding.

All I need is a vial of lasher's blood.

Why would you need that?

So I can save my sister.

So can you just bring me to him

and then we can stop doing this

this dance or whatever this is?

I wish that were true,

but I don't believe you, darling.

It's a story you're telling yourself,

that you're here to save your sister.

You're really here because you're greedy.

You got wind that something
good is coming to this family,

and you want to take it for yourself.

Take me to him now.

No.

I'm not going to ask again.

No.

Having trouble breathing?

Feel that in your throat?

You see, Rowan, our family is bonded.

Stitched together into a web.

You harm a hair on
any one of us in this year,

miss Bonnie will feel it.

We all carry the same
burden when it's our turn.

So you threaten me,
you threaten my child.

Would you really harm a child?

I'll do whatever I need
to do to protect my family.

I need this wedding to take place.

So I hope you will find it in your heart

to cool your fucking jets

and join us in this joyous time.

Good.

Jesus Christ.

Come on, everybody.

It's michaelmas.

Come here.

Let's go outside and have some goosey.

You were bluffing, right?

You wouldn't hurt a kid?

No. God, no.

Are you kidding me?

Why didn't he ask us to leave after what

you tried to do to him?

He must want me here.

Also, your great
grandmother found this bride?

That... that makes her how old, exactly?

I'm not sure I believe
anything that Ian says.

Hey, who do you think is the moira here?

Like, who do you think
is the kid that doesn't

drink the family kool-aid?

I don't know about kool-aid,

but I think we already
met the whipping boy.

You might want to try there first.

Yes, I'm gonna go talk to him.

See what you can find out.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Spy stuff.

Hey there.

How you doing?

I hope you didn't miss
out on the party in town

to give us a ride.

They send you on errands a lot?

I just... I just think you should

be enjoying the festival.

Don't give a shite.

In the last year, anyway.

Yeah?

You going away to school?

Don't I wish.

No, there's no getting
away from this place on me.

Probably wouldn't get in anyway.

Come on.

You don't know that.

You know, maybe I can help you.

I mean, I know what it feels like to be

an outcast in your own family
and... and to feel different

and to want something different.

It's your turn, Hamish.

Can I try?

Why not?

Ok.

Thanks.

It's not me that's the problem.

It's just my da.

He's a fucking lunatic.

I'm sure you picked up on that already.

Yeah, I got that.

Look, Hamish, I,

I'm really worried about my cousin,

and I know your dad
knows where she is.

We have more money
on our side of the family

than we know what to do with.

And if you help me, I'll
do whatever I can for you.

So, like, if you want to move out

or you want to go to
school or move to the states,

I'll help you.

I just need you to help me.

Try the tunnels in the basement.

I can't tell you any more than that.

It's a risk already.

Ok, great.

Thanks, Hamish.

What were you and Ian talking about?

Father, mostly.

Did you see?

Ian's got a victrola in his study?

Yeah, I figured it was somewhere.

Did you learn anything
more about the wedding?

No, but he's taking me out
to our car to change the tire.

I'll have plenty of
time to get him talking,

which shouldn't be
too much of a challenge

because it seems like
that's his favorite thing to do.

Good.

Thank you.

Dams.

Dams. Dams.

Dams.

I thought you were saying trams.

Yeah, in america, we call it, checkers.

Yes, I know.

So, where are you keeping the bride?

Excuse me.

Sorry, excuse me.

Boo.

Is that skin?

Chill out, man.

It's from the festival.

That's... that's human skin.

Little squeamish, are you?

Danny, you're such a slob.

Put it away.

If dad knew it was left
out, he'd be so pissed.

Hey, there you are.

We can't be here.

We have to leave now.

What?

They have masks made of skin.

They're cutting people's faces off

and wearing them in parades.

We'll find lasher on our own.

Sleep in an alley or something.

I don't care.

I know how to find
moira and maybe lasher.

We have to stay.

Do you honestly think that if we stay

for the wedding like Ian
wants, he's just going to let

you take lasher's blood?

No. No way.

He's keeping you here for some reason.

This isn't a puzzle.

This is a trap.

Look, look, I can handle these people.

If you need to go, you should go,

but I really don't want you to leave me.

Please.

We can look for moira tomorrow.

Let's please just sleep tonight.

Ok.

Ok.

I felt like my blood was on fire.

That's fine.

That's natural.

You're a taltos, so your
impulse to create life

is much stronger than ours.

I suppose you can see
now why we couldn't let you

meet in the regular way.

I can't control myself.

Nor should you.

Tomorrow is a right day.

Tomorrow you're going to be wed,

and the children you and she bear,

it's going to mean centuries
of good fortune for us all.

That's why your father wants me here?

No, no, no.

No, your... your happiness
is our main object.

Yours and emaleth's.

That's the fuse again.

Fuck me.

Let me go!

Please, please, please.

I can't marry her.

I hurt people.

You don't understand.

I can't hurt her.

I'm a beast.

Please.

Just let me help you, ok?

There's a place I want you to see.

It'll help you understand.

No, no, no.

Shit.

Come on.

Are you using me?

Manipulating, conniving,
that's what you do.

Our father, he's coming
back to this world.

- He's diabolical.
- Return to us.

You're a source of very dark magic.

Where is he?

Or shall I huff and puff and
blow all the doors down?

Lasher makes the plants grow.

He puts the fish in the sea.

He keeps us safe from Satan.

And now he's come again.

Tomorrow I'll get to meet him.

Episode 6 is the first of three chapters

in which our Mayfair
family goes to Scotland

to confront the other Mayfair family,

the other family that Julien had,

the family that he's bequeathed lasher to.

He's set up this sort of elaborate plot

to deliver lasher, via Albrecht, to them

because he knows the
wealth of magic and power

that lasher will bring them.

You're lying. There's no one else like me.

I'm not lying. I swear to you.

Then take me to her.

Now!

There it is.

It's, you know, the first encounter

with this new place, with
this new Mayfair culture.

Let's go meet them.

Our dp feels the light differently,

feels the landscape differently.

And we want the
feeling that our travelers

have come into this
real, authentic little town

that is filled with

extraordinarily strange festival-goers.

What the hell is this?

Michaelmas.

Something to do with the harvest?

It's really cool to bring
the show to another place.

I love working in Ireland,

and although we're doubling Scotland,

I get to experience a
whole different country

while I'm working, which I love to do,

and move the characters
from where they're comfortable

and where they are sort of in charge

and bring them to where
other people are in charge.

That completely changes the dynamic

and the magic in the show.

This doesn't seem very catholic.

Yeah, well, I guess
they do it a little differently

here in kilbride, mostly
because of the mayfairs.

We were inspired in the writers' room

by watching these folk horror films

the early "wicker man" from the '70s.

"Midsommar" is another one.

We wanted the look of
the show to be different,

the music to feel different

so that we are with
Rowan and the others

as they enter and begin to understand

just what they're going to have to do

to get out of here in one
piece and with lasher.

This isn't okay. Something is very wrong.

I'm sure you'll be convincing.

The frustration of being the one person

that's always in the forefront,

but you have the least
amount of knowledge.

Hello, ciprien. Welcome to Amsterdam.

I'm anamika.

And now you're being interrogated

for something you have no idea about.

I think that's terrifying for anybody.

Aren't we headed to my hearing?

You're hearing is over.
You've been cleared.

But we need your help.

If cip becomes everything
that Albrecht wasn't,

what does that look like

for the talamasca
branch in New Orleans?

Give me his job.

Make me the head of
the New Orleans division.

You do that, and I'll help you.

This is the changing of the guard.

Good luck.

One of the real challenges in this season

in fact, this is in Anne rice's books

the back half of the
season is almost the mirror

of the first three episodes
where he's terrifying.

The last three episodes, we
really come to understand that,

in fact, he is a bringer of healing magic,

of beautiful magic,

and that it is the mayfairs
who are going to use him.

When lasher and
emaleth see each other,

it's like a wolf with its
prey in both of them.

It's much more this surge of energy

that they sort of bring out
of each other like a magnet.

I was like, I think one has
to internalize that a bit more

rather than going, you know, wild

and whooping and
hollering and all the rest of it.

So luckily, Logan felt like she
was very much on the same page.

So that was good.

So we've preserved Anne
rice's kind of magical taltos,

but we've done what
she did, which is let lasher

be a terrifying force in
the first part of our story.

Rowan, isn't it?

I think Rowan is, at
this point in the story,

leading with this idea
that, "I can do anything."

Where's lasher?

Mother bear.

I love it.

She's got a bit of hubris.

Maybe fake it till you make it.

But she's a very powerful
witch and she has a job to do.

I don't want to stop the wedding.

All I need is a vial of lasher's blood.

So while there's a lot going around her

that's terrifying and crazy

I need this wedding to take place.

I hope you will find it in your heart

to cool your jets and join us!
