SIR MALCOLM:
Previously on Penny Dreadful...

Do you believe me?

What are you asking me to believe?

That you were hunted by vampires?

That you commune with Satan?

I've lost the immortal part of myself.

No matter how far
you have walked from God,

He is still waiting ahead.

VANESSA:
Where is your master?

Soon you'll meet him again.

Again?

Don't you remember, my lady?

When was this?

In the white room.

Why do you think he was talking

about the Banning Clinic?

This has to be the room
where I met the Master in the past!

I know what I'm asking.

I don't think you do.

Hypnotism can be extremely traumatic.

Are you alone?

- Always.
- No one comes in?

An orderly with the food.

[DOOR RATTLING]

I've brought your food, Miss Ives.

[GRAMOPHONE RUNNING]

DR. SEWARD:
Tell me about him.

The orderly?

Yes.

We barely spoke.

When you did,
what did you talk about?

I don't remember.

Nothing.

How long were you in that room?

Five months.

And he was the only person

who came into your room
all that time?

Yes.

Describe him, the orderly.

Nondescript.

Look at his face now.

Let your eyes move over it.
What do you see?

Round sort of face.

Pleasant.

- Good complexion.
- Eyes?

Blue.

Go on. What else?

Let your eyes move.

He's tall.

Strong hands
without veins or age to them.

Very closely cropped hair.

[SCRATCHING]

[DOOR UNLOCKING]

Food, Miss Ives.

CREATURE:
You have to eat, Miss.

Please eat.

[SIGHS]

Why didn't you eat?

[INHALES SHARPLY]

Why are you here?

What... Why can I see you?

Your mind is between both worlds now.

You're in my office,
and here in the cell.

Why didn't you eat?

I wanted to die.

You were trying to starve yourself?

- Yes.
- Why did you want to die?

I had betrayed my friend Mina.

I was ill.

No,

I was evil.

Satan had touched me.

- And...
- Yes?

There was another.

- Another demon? Who?
- Yes.

- I don't remember.
- Try.

- [DOOR UNLOCKING]
- [GASPS]

If you don't eat...

there'll be consequences.

[DOOR UNLOCKING]

Bring it to me.

No.

It's three feet away.

I'm tired.

They tortured me today.

I'm not to engage
in conversation, Miss.

Are they listening?

No.

They didn't torture you.

You weren't there!

They're making you well.

[VANESSA LAUGHS]

Bring me the food.

No.

How are they making me well?

The injections never end.

[SIGHING]
And the questions.

You're to begin
other treatments tomorrow.

What are they?

Bring me the food.

No.

Is it day or night?

Sorry?

The light's never off
and there's no window!

Is it day or night?

Which would you prefer it to be?

Night.

Then it's night.

Bring me the food.

No.

I'll collapse.

No, you won't.

Bring me the food. Help me!

No.

You think I'm a spoiled bitch.

We're not to engage
in conversation, Miss.

What's the treatment tomorrow?

They call it hydrotherapy.

[DOOR UNLOCKING]

I need the blanket.

[WHISPERS] What?

Hand me the blanket, Miss.

Why?

You're not supposed to have it.

Hand me the blanket, Miss.

[CRYING] No.

- Miss.
- I'll die.

You won't. No one does.

Why can't I have the blanket?

You're not supposed to have it

in case you hang yourself.

Please.

I'm sorry, Miss.

[SNIFFLES]

You're not sorry.

Not at all.

[GRUNTS]

[BOTH GRUNTING]

[DOOR UNLOCKING]

[FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING]

[SNIFFLES]

How long do I...
have to wear this?

Until Dr. Banning decides.

Decides what?

If you're dangerous.

- I am.
- [SCOFFS]

Don't you think I'm dangerous?

- I think you're ill.
- I'm not ill!

Then what are you?

I'm sorry about your face.

Well, we'll have no more of that.

No more of that.

No fight left in me.

You'd all like to see that.

[CHUCKLES]
Yes, Miss. Safer that way.

[EXHALES]

It's not torture what they're doing.

It's science.

It's meant to make you better.

It's meant to make me normal.

Like all the other women you know.

Compliant, obedient.

A cog in an intricate
social machine...

and no more.

I couldn't say, Miss.

Couldn't you?

Not all the women
I know are cogs.

Then they're freaks.

My wife's not a freak
and she's not a cog.

You should think better of your sex.

God has forgotten me here.

He can't find me here.

That's not true.

I'm not Vanessa Ives here.

I am no one.

I have no name, no purpose.

Do you want a purpose?

Don't you?

I'm doing it.

Is it day or night?

Which do you prefer now?

Day.

Then it's day.

What's your name?

Against regulations, Miss.

You know my name.

You just told me
you don't have a name.

Oh, I was being poetic.

Oh.

Don't you like poetry?

Uh, no. [CHUCKLES]

All the men I grew up with liked poetry.

I don't.

What do you like?

Not being attacked at work.

[SNIFFLES]

You must get better, Miss.

They don't get easier,
the treatments.

What do you mean?

They get worse.

How?

Just get better, eh?

If I'm not truly ill,

then how can I get better?

If you're not ill,
then what are you?

You wouldn't believe me.
[SNIFFLES]

Dr. Banning doesn't.
My parents don't.

And why should they?

I have been touched...

by Satan.

My weakness allowed it.

My faith was not strong enough

and Lucifer came to me.

I didn't fight him strongly enough.

I don't know that
I fought him at all.

I did this for my son
when he was a baby.

He's eight now.

He's not well.

Cough, he has.

We used a metal spoon at first
but it hurt his mouth

so we switched
to a wooden one.

I'm surprised they have
wooden spoons here.

Oh.

I brought this one from home.

What's your son's name?

Um, that's...

Against regulations.

Yes, Miss.

You must get better.

[SIGHS] Please.

[CHUCKLES]

And I do believe
what you say about Lucifer.

After all... I was there.

[GASPING]

LUCIFER: Oh, my dear.

We have so much
to catch up on, do we not?

DR. SEWARD:
What did you see?

[SHUDDERING]

His eyes...
The eyes of the Demon.

- Lucifer?
- Yes.

It was the orderly.

And not!

You're manifesting Lucifer
through the orderly.

The only person you saw.

Were there more episodes like this?

- I don't remember.
- Try.

- I am!
- Try harder!

Stop this!
Take me out of this state!

I can't.

[BREATHING HEAVILY]

Doctor Seward,
stop this session now!

I can't, Vanessa!
I've been trying!

You won't come out.

You won't wake up.

I burned your hand with a cigarette.

It didn't work.

You've apparently gone into

something called a fugue state.

Look at me, Vanessa.

I'm not going to lie to you.

There's a lot we don't understand.

It's a mental and physical break,

a disassociation with
your bodily functions,

something like a coma.

When will it end?

I don't know.

Do people die like this?

Yes. But you won't.

How do you know that?

I just do.

That's ridiculous!
You just do!

I know you.

And from what you say,
I've known you a long time.

My ancestor, the old woman,

Joan Clayton,

what would she say to you?

"Be true."

Be true.

You will come out of it.

When you're at the heart
of your trauma,

when you've found
what you're here for.

I'm not leaving you
for anything in this world.

[INHALES DEEPLY]

What do I do?

Keep going.

What happened next?

I don't remember.
I was drugged.

- What do you see?
- [SNIFFLES]

The same room.

Nothing changed.

The treatments continued.

Escalated.

I can't move my arms.

I can't speak.

- [DOOR UNLOCKING]
- [GASPS]

Miss Ives?

Can you hear me?

[SIGHS]
I'm not good at this.

My wife's got short hair...

and I have no sisters.

I'm sick to see you like this.

I can't stop thinking about it.

[SIGHS]

It is torture.

[SIGHS] I'll have to
undo it all before morning.

They can't know.

They'd sack me if they knew.

And then who'd attend to you?

It'll be our secret, eh?

Uh, this is my wife's.

She told me what to do.

I tell her about you.

That's against regulations too.

[CHUCKLES]

She said to use a light hand

and spare the heavy for the lips.

[EXHALES]

She's got beautiful lips, my wife.

Her name's Marjorie.

I would leave this place,
but I need the work.

Jobs are scarce and...

I've to feed the family,
you understand.

And I wouldn't leave you in any case.

Not until you're better.

And maybe we'll walk out
of here together.

Wouldn't that be a day?

Will you take a look, Miss Ives?

Go on.

Please.

[GASPS]

This is who you are.

Please don't forget that.

[SIGHS]
I'm really not very good at this.

Ah. It's the only one we had.

Someone gave it to us
when our son was born.

"I have a little shadow

that goes in and out with me.

And what can be the use of him...

is more than I can see.

He is very, very like me

from the heels up to the head.

And I see him jump before me,

when I jump into my bed.

The funniest thing about him..."

"I never can get back by day,

nor can remember plain and clear,

the curious music that I hear."

[SIGHS HEAVILY]

I've got to go,
before the day fellows get here.

[EXHALES]

[VOICE BREAKING] I'm sorry.

[SHUDDERING]

One day soon,
no one will touch you

when you don't want to be touched.

Or put makeup on you,
or take it off.

Ever, ever again.

If I'm honest, I don't really
believe in God, but...

I'll pray for you.

It's Christmas today.

[DOOR UNLOCKING]

VANESSA: I'm so lonely.

CREATURE: Your parents?

VANESSA:
They stopped coming.

I'm never getting out of here.

Of course you are.

What happened before is all
that will ever happen to me.

Every dance...

was my last dance.

Every flower I smelled
was my last flower.

Every kiss...

[SHUDDERING]

I've only been with one man.

[EXHALES]

[VANESSA BREATHING HEAVILY]

[EXHALES]

[CREATURE BREATHING HEAVILY]

[BOTH BREATHING HEAVILY]

[EXHALING]

I should have died a virgin...

like Joan of Arc.

Be true. Be strong.

Sing on the funeral pyre.

Did you know she sang
as she burned?

No.

None of us are heroes.

I suppose not.

[PANTING]

Miss Ives, if you don't show
signs of improvement,

he'll turn to surgery.

- Let him.
- [EXHALES]

You don't know what you're saying.

I'll sing as he cuts me open.

Listen to me!

They'll start by cutting your hair off
and shaving your head.

Then they'll sedate you.

Then they'll strap you to a table.

Then he'll use a drill
to open your skull.

It's not a medical thing,
it's a drill for woodwork.

Then he'll put a clamp on your skull...

and crack it open.

And then he'll start cutting things out.

I see the results.

That's where my job starts again.

You'll have lost your ability
to control your body.

You'll shit and piss on yourself

and I'll clean it up.

If you're lucky,

that part will come back to you.

But not much else, if I'm honest.

It varies.

But they are never the same
when they come out.

Sometimes they can't walk.

Sometimes they can't speak.

Sometimes they can't
open their eyes or hear.

Do you know what they are?

All of them?

A broken thing.

Not a tiger.

Not a flower.

Not a clump of earth.

Not even a blade of grass.

Miss Ives, you have to get better.

Then pretend to be cured!

Be like everyone else.

Do what he wants you to do!

I've tried.

Is it so important?

To be different?

To have such specialness?

Would you want your son to be

anything but what he is?

I want him to be happy.

But what if he's not?

Would you want him to pretend?

No.

Then don't ask it of me.

[EXHALES]

Let me help you.

You're not ill, so you tell me.

So... what are you?

I've told you.

And you don't believe in God

so you don't believe in Satan either.

[SIGHS]
I'm a stupid man.

Very bad at my lettering
and my figures,

no gift for words.

But I'm here now.

And I'll listen.

So.

Why would the Devil
be interested in you?

I don't know.

If you were Lucifer,

why would you
be interested in someone?

LUCIFER: Oh, that's easy.

Because I love you.

[GASPS]

Where you gonna go, Vanessa?

Door's locked.

No day, no night,
just perpetual twilight

before they cut open your skull

and try to let the demons out.

That's where trephining began, you know,

in the Dark Ages.

In an attempt to release me

and send me into the ether.

Didn't work then...

won't work now.

For too long I have been afraid.

No longer.

I don't want you to fear me.

I want you to embrace me.

Of your own volition.

Give me your name.

Your favorite is Lucifer.

[SNAKE HISSING]

The Fallen Angel.

Defeated in that mighty battle

with your Heavenly Father.

God have mercy.

Has He up to now?

Look at this sad old world.

Children begging for
a crust of rotting food

a mile from where we stand.

In the shadow of this,

the wealthiest city on the globe.

Look at you.

Has His mercy touched your life?

My God is merciful

and He will not abandon me.

He already has.

You're not even
a blade of grass to Him.

Let us be as we were.

Before there was time,
there was thee and me.

Before the scorpion crawled
and the adder hissed.

Back to the time
when the Old Gods sang

and there was only thee
and there was only me.

Give yourself to me freely.

Be what you are and always were.

And then?

We stand at the fire
as it consumes

all men and all women

and all the beasts of the Earth

until only we are left.

And then we shall
turn our eyes heavenward.

Yes.

And we shall smite
the Heavenly Father

from his bloody throne.

[DRACULA LAUGHING]

[WINGS BEATING]

[GASPS]

[DRACULA CONTINUES LAUGHING]

DRACULA:
I've long dreamt of this moment,

to stand at your side,
close enough to touch,

to smell, to feel.

Give me your name.

You can read it on my tomb.

Who are you?

Who do you want me to be?

LUCIFER: Call him what he is.

The Father of Beasts,

king of the maggot-crawling flesh.

[BAT WINGS BEATING]

[CHUCKLES]
So long it's been, brother.

Not long enough, brother.

And your existence
in the dark netherworld?

LUCIFER:
And yours on this filthy earth?

Perpetual.

LUCIFER:
And the eating of flesh,

and the drinking of blood?

More beast than spirit you are.

Such a need you have
of the earthly powers.

And so I am made strong and potent

by the spoils of my domain.

While you, anemic,

feed on dust and superstition.

The abject supplication of
the weak and the ignorant.

If they cease to believe in you,
do you even exist?

They won't believe forever, brother.

We live in a mighty age
of science and faithlessness.

You're fading to insignificance

even as I look at you.

I'm only concerned
with the faith of one.

But you're not a thing
of the spirit, Vanessa.

You are a thing
of the flesh... like me.

You're the wolf.

You are the scorpion.

You are all those things
that slip and soar

and stalk through the deep forest
and the dark night.

You are powerful.

You feel it coiling within you.

Become the wolf...

and the bat and the scorpion.

Be truly who you are.

LUCIFER: He appeals
to your lust, your appetites.

You're more than that.

You're spirit and soul.

You want her soul.

I don't need it.

Give me your flesh.

Give me your blood.

Be my bride.

And then all light will end

and the world will live in darkness.

The very air will be
pestilence to mankind.

And then our brethren,

the Night Creatures,
will emerge and feed.

Such is our power...

such is our kingdom,

such is my kiss.

Yes.

DRACULA: One kiss
and you're free of all this.

In this mortal world
you'll always be shunned

for your uniqueness...

but not with me.

They will lock you away
in rooms like this.

They will brand you a freak

and a sorceresses, but I won't.

I love you for who you are, Vanessa.

And what name do I
whisper to you, beloved?

[MOANS]

[WHISPERING]
I am the Demon.

I am the Dragon.

My name...

[EXHALES]

is Dracula.

[GASPS]

[VANESSA BREATHING HEAVILY]

So I see you clear now.

Two brothers fallen from grace.

The spirit...

and the animal.

You seek my soul.

You my body.

But both are promised to another.

He who vanquished you.

He who is my protector

and who stands with me even now.

Child, you have no sense of the terrors

I will bring unto you.

Then do it.

And no hint of the horrors
I can unleash unto you.

Unleash them.

No step you take will be safe.

No dream untroubled.

Battles I shall plan.

Prophesies I shall unveil.

Who are you to defy me?

I am nothing.

I am no more than a blade of grass.

But I am.

You think you know evil?

Here it stands.

[CHANTING IN VERBIS DIABLO]

[GASPS]

CREATURE: Well?

Why would the Devil
be interested in you?

I'm...

May I sleep?
I'm very tired.

Oh, yes, of course.

You should sleep.

[EXHALES]

I wish I could turn the light off.

What?

No, don't worry.
Good night.

[DOOR CLOSES]

DR. SEWARD:
Vanessa, look at me.

You can come out now.

Come back to me gently now.

Listen to the sound of the gramophone.

The stylus cutting into the wax.

No.

No.

I'm not done here.

[DOOR UNLOCKING]

Miss Ives?

[EXHALES]

Will you look at me?

[CREATURE SIGHS]

[BREATHES DEEPLY]

I'm so sorry.

I didn't counterfeit
normality well enough.

I tried.

I spoke lowly.

I bent my head.

I was a submissive dog.

I was the woman
he wanted me to be.

I almost succeeded.

But then... he asked me
to speak about my faith.

I told him the truth,

that God's immortal glory lives in me

as in all of us.

How can that be anything but lunacy

to a man like Dr. Banning?

Will you eat?

Why bother?

You'll need your strength tomorrow.

It's to be tomorrow?

Yes.

Will there be anything left of me?

[EXHALES]

Will it take long?

A few hours.

Will I feel pain?

No, no, you'll be sedated.

Does your wife cook for you?

CREATURE: Yes.

Yeah, she's a good cook.

I'd make a horrible wife.

Well, that's not true.

And you're a horrible liar.

I'll miss your hair.

So will I.

No, I mean,
I'm leaving tomorrow.

What?

This job.

Oh.

You have another?

No.

It's no great matter.

I'll tell you what happened.

I was at home,
yesterday night past.

And I was helping my son
with a wooden ship model.

That's something we do.

And he asked me about the ship.

I said it was the kind of ship

used for exploring the seas.

And he said,
"Where do they explore, Father?"

And I told him, "Everywhere.

The Orient, Peru,

and even the frozen North."

And he says,

"What's that, Father?"

And so I told him

it was the places
all covered with snow.

[INHALES]

North of Scotland
and even beyond that.

And he said,
"Do people live there?"

And I said, um... [SCOFFS]

"No. It's too cold
and lonely all the time.

No one lives there."

And I started to cry.

And I couldn't stop.

My son took my hand.

[VOICE BREAKING] I...

I couldn't stop crying.

[SOFTLY] Why?

[SOBBING]

Because I realized I was wrong.

One person does live there,

where it's cold
and lonely all the time.

[SOBBING]

So I, uh, tendered my resignation.

I'll stay on long enough
to see you tomorrow.

[SNIFFLING]

The last person you see
before the surgery

will be someone who loves you.

Good-bye, Miss Ives.

[DOOR OPENING]

[DOOR CLOSES]

[BREATHING HEAVILY]

[GRAMOPHONE RUNNING]

[GROANS]

I'll get you something for that burn.

Sorry.

[GULPING]

Ah.

What do you remember?

Everything.

Images.
Like a dream, yes?

- No.
- Everything.

You once said we name things

so they don't frighten us.

I'm not frightened.

His name is Dracula.
