The only scene I want from OFMD season two:
It's three episodes in and Izzy and Blackbeard are arguing. For the past two episodes, there's been no mention of Lucius.
And something strange is happening. Occasionally, when the camera cuts back and forth, something in the background will be... different. A book had been moved. A tea cup has been emptied. The quills on Blackbeard's desk are missing. A blanket is unfolded on the bed.
Just little small things, things you could write off as a production error. But then, as Izzy and Blackbeard are screaming at each other, just behind them a panel in the wall opens. A pale hand with a wooden finger sneaks out and grabs a dagger that had been sitting on a nearby table. The hand pulls the dagger back into the hole in the wall and then replaces it with a quill.
Then the hand flips off Blackbeard, behind his back, before it's snatched back into the wall and the panel is slid shut.
Blackbeard tells Izzy to fuck off and makes a grab for his dagger. And when his hand only finds a pristine quill-- a quill from the bunch that had gone missing previously-- he stares at it, aghast.
"I'm losing my fucking mind," he says hopelessly and there's a soft noise from behind the walls. Almost like a laugh.
