You're a long way from home.
You're not an easy person to find. I came to talk.
So now are the other people getting into position around me
gonna join the conversation?
You can come out now.
This looks like the worst album cover of all time.
I'm gonna give you all the benefit of the doubt
and assume you didn't get my message.
Maybe it was too subtle.
As angry as I am about what you did to my dad,
we're here to help.
Well, that's noble.
But 14 hours in a van, that was the best you can come up with?
Bringing the traitor along wasn't a good idea, either.
Don't let her get to you. She's just trying to provoke us.
You should have kept your stupid Squad out of my sight.
Hope, listen to us. It doesn't have to happen this way.
No, it doesn't.
But on the other hand, it kind of sounds like fun.
Externa conatus.
Corporis impetus.
You can run.
But you can't hide.
Ad somnum.
Just kidding.
This is about what I expected from them. But you?
I expected more.
You know there's a weapon that can kill me.
Why haven't you told them about it yet?
Incendia.
Okay, so what's that? Hope 17, Squad zero?
We're gonna be late for class.
You okay?
Yes, thank you.
Cleo? What happened after we all died?
The usual.
Don't worry, we'll figure something out. There has to be a way.
- Synced and corrected by Darrow - - www.addic7ed.com -
- Milton Greasley? - Here.
- Lael Pastore? - Here.
Hey, is it weird to say
that I prefer decapitation to having my heart ripped out?
No, not at all. Hope stabbed me in the eye once.
It's the kind of fake pain that stays with you.
Boys. Let's cut the chitchat back there.
- Nathan Clark? - Here.
We have to try again.
I just don't know why we keep failing so hard.
We must be missing something.
A leader.
We're so used to relying on Hope that we never made a plan B.
And Final Destination: New Orleans
is telling us exactly what's gonna happen
if actual Hope comes back to the school and we don't have one.
She wouldn't actually kill us, right?
E? What are you doing?
Working on my powers. Pretty good at turning invisible.
Not so much the whole "re-visibling" part.
Why aren't you at a desk?
I kept getting sat on.
Yeah.
This is what I'm talking about. Our own team doesn't...
My bad, dawg.
Our own team doesn't know how to use their own powers.
Enough simulations.
It's time to get back to training for real.
Lizzie Saltzman.
Does anyone know where Lizzie is?
You're skipping class now?
We all grieve in different ways.
Please stop talking like that. Dad's not dead.
He's not exactly alive either.
Which is what you and I need to be focusing on.
We were supposed to meet up and go through spells hours ago.
Where were you?
Trying to figure out what to do about Hope.
Our father is in a coma,
and you're more concerned about the person who put him there?
You saw the same memories that I did.
Dad wouldn't want us to give up on Hope.
And if anybody's powerful enough to heal him, it's her.
Trust me, I'm mad at her, too, but... we can't do this alone.
Watch me.
Or don't. 'Cause you'll be off doing whatever else.
But I am putting Dad first, even if I have to do it alone.
If you figure out a spell, I'll be there.
I promise.
_
You're hiding something.
This is no trick. We are truly in Limbo.
And that is the true Ferryman
who controls passage to the shores of peace.
Never-ending bliss, free from the turmoil of existence.
Yeah? So why aren't you there?
Apparently, some of my questionable life choices
preclude me from receiving that particular reward.
Well, that's a relief, at least.
There are some things even you can't scheme your way out of, eh?
Oh... oh, you're leaving me?
Oh, buddy, you can call yourself Ted all you want,
but you'll always be the Necromancer to me.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a boat to catch.
Uh...
Landon Kirby, headed to, uh, Peace.
Oh!
Sorry.
Looks like we're in the same boat.
Or not in the same boat, as it were.
Psst!
I did not expect to find you here.
Sorry, but you usually spend your time in the gym, not the library.
Ouch. Read the books, not me.
Who are you tracking?
Ah, who else? Jo's got me on Hope watch.
Which is pretty ironic,
given that I spent hours staring at maps of Ohio.
Based on your joke, I take it Ohio is a place of great despair?
Just until you leave.
Either way, I'm not sure why we're looking for Hope
when she clearly doesn't want to be found.
I suppose we all have people we will go to extraordinary lengths for.
I just saw that one.
You have seen this tree?
Yeah. It's over by the cherry blossoms.
You won't be able to miss those bright red leaves.
Thank you again.
You can pay me back with a spell for nausea.
I think this is just essentially a big circle.
Let me see.
You're not tracking Hope at all.
Great. Where the hell is she?
_
What's all this about?
Oh...
I just wanted to do something special for our big day.
Don't even try to trick me. There's no way you forgot.
Um...
our-our anniversary?
The best two weeks of my life.
I got you a little something.
Just in case you want to start staying over more.
I'll get it.
Hi, Clarke-y.
Hope?
This is a weird time.
Yeah. You have no idea. Invite me in?
Uh...
And who is this... lovely creature?
Uh, an old friend.
Who was just leaving.
I used to date his brother.
Oh.
My goodness.
Well, I haven't met any of Ryan's friends yet.
Mm.
I'm his serious girlfriend Trudy. Come in.
Thank you. Ryan and I have a lot to catch up on.
You know, when I said to go get a life,
I didn't mean with the first Stepford Wife starter kit that you meet.
When did you two even take this?
Our first date.
Trudy said we shouldn't waste any time if we both knew what we wanted.
And this is what you wanted?
Okay.
You have to get out of here. Okay?
Trudy doesn't know anything about... m... my past.
But your past is why I'm here.
I'm looking for the bloodlines of the witch,
werewolf and vampire that created Malivore.
Who's dead, by the way. So's Landon.
Congrats... you're an orphan and an only child.
Is nondairy creamer okay?
Ryan's tummy's so... fragile.
Uh, sweetie, some sugar?
Coming right up.
Well, she's, um... domestic.
And you're obviously the Tribrid now.
I'm sure something big and scary is going on,
but I don't want anything to do with Triad.
I'm not that guy anymore.
You're going to help me, or I kill the skirt.
Your humanity is off.
You know, Trudy... that's a lovely necklace you're wearing.
Do you mind if I take a... a closer look?
Of course.
- Ryan gave it to me. - Mm.
It's even more enticing up close.
I'll show you where I got it.
This was the Triad corporation's data facility.
If they kept records on the bloodlines of the original Triad...
it would be there.
Perfect.
See? I knew you could be useful, Ryan.
Why don't you come with, for old time's sake?
I can't. I've got responsibilities now.
And I have a job, a... relationship.
I don't have time for supernatural high jinks anymore.
Your loss.
Say goodbye to your very serious girlfriend for me.
Thank you for all your help.
Bye, Freya.
Hope made it very clear
that she didn't want to have any contact with her family.
So I just need to... think like my dad.
- He would know what to do. - Whoa, breathe.
Breathe.
I think you might need a break.
You've been through a lot. You could use some relaxation.
The last time I relaxed, I woke up and my dad was in a coma.
I'm sorry. That... came out wrong.
- I, um... - It's okay. Really.
I'm just gonna get out of your way.
Where are you going?
To find another way out of here,
or to get as far away from you as possible... take your pick.
The only way to Peace is on that blasted oversized canoe.
And the only people allowed on
are the ones who give the Ferryman a coin.
A coin?
Yes. Little gold thing. Round.
I know what a coin is.
Well, yeah, you didn't ask like you knew what it was.
So, let me guess.
You just happen to know where we can get one of these coins.
All it takes is for me to trust you completely
so you can screw me over at the last minute. No!
That's the thing, I literally have no idea
where to find one of those coins.
All the good people seem to already have one.
All the bad people don't.
I-I'm not a bad person.
But yet...
not on the boat.
I know I've betrayed you in the past,
but I am not the Necromancer anymore.
Mm-hmm.
I promise...
I will not go to Peace without you by my side.
I'd listen to him if I were you.
Theodore was the best, smartest, most compassionate man I ever knew.
Been looking everywhere for you.
I was admiring this tree you, Hope and Josie made.
- It's growing so quickly. - Hmm.
As much as I'd love to get lost in a memory
about a former friend who nearly killed my dad,
I need some translation help. A polyglot I am not.
I don't recognize the language but I'm hoping you do.
These symbols are ancient.
Based on the drawings,
it's a spell to bring someone back to life.
Do you think it would work on my dad?
This may be further than you should consider going.
Okay, but, like... how far? On a scale from one to ten.
It would require a human sacrifice.
I'm calling with the Breton-Barr Life Insurance Company
to see if Phil had a chance to consider purchasing a policy...
Oh, he did?
So sorry for your loss.
- Are you insured? - Liar!
Wha...? Trudy, what are you doing here?
She told me everything!
How you cheated on me
and how you're a con man pretending to be someone else
and how you're after my dad's money.
- Trudy. - Well, this isn't true.
Oh, Dad... You were right, Daddy.
_
You free now?
This is Trudy. Leave me a message.
Trudy, please call me back. I can explain everything.
Ryan, baby, come back to bed.
Why can't... Can you please stop making everything worse?
Need to fix this.
Trust me, it's better this way. You don't want to be Ryan.
You want to know why?
Because Ryan's dating Trudy, who, if we're being honest,
is giving off a certain vibe of, I don't know,
shall we say upper 30s desperation.
Before you know it,
Ryan is gonna be middle-aged with kids who can't stand him
and a mortgage he can't afford
and a wife who wants to know where he is every second of the day,
and a job
as an assistant regional manager at a place that he can never leave,
because her dad owns the company.
So I basically did you a favor.
What do you want?
Trudy, please don't hang up. I can explain.
You're gonna see when we get there. Being Clarke is way better.
All right, team, check it out... there's a...
Are you eating?
I missed lunch because I kept going intangible.
Couldn't grab anything.
Okay...
MG says Kaleb should create a diversion to draw Hope's fire...
Oh, and leave the takedown to the B-team?
Sorry, no. I'm going after Hope.
The rest of you can create the diversion.
- Wait, don't you think that we should... - All right, let's go.
Dude, come on.
Light 'em up.
(SPEAKS FOREIGN LANGUAGE)
Whoa!
Come on, Wade!
Wade, you're dead. Walk it off.
Kaleb! Vamp us past the lightning!
Stay back! I got this!
Dead.
You're dead, Kaleb.
What? No. That didn't even come close to my heart.
- It hit me in my solar plexus. - You're dead.
How did this even get here?
Ethan. Teleport behind Hope.
You don't. Are you okay?
I'll snatch that megaphone right out your hand,
put it down your throat.
Look out!
- What the hell's wrong with you? - I'm sorry, I didn't know...
Hey, if you can't get ahold of your powers, get off the field.
Hey! At least he's trying to use them.
What the hell's that supposed to mean, Jed?
It means when you betrayed us for Malivore,
I was hoping you at least got something cool out of it.
Are you serious?
- Come on! Come on! - Mm-hmm, you ready?
Hey, hey, hey, guys, come on!
Oh...
Maybe we should take five.
Days?
Weeks.
This is bad.
Sorry to interrupt your bonfire efforts,
but I think we're going to have a Lizzie problem.
It was he who convinced me
that we shouldn't be afraid of dark magic.
That we could use it for good.
I-I became his, uh...
well, uh, acolyte, I suppose.
I helped him begin to build his powers of necromancy.
Until we realized that to reach his full potential,
he would have to sacrifice, uh...
something dear to him.
So you were the first Chad.
The first... Oh. Who?
Nothing, nothing. The boy's mind is muddled.
He's died and come back several times.
And I'm sure you're the one who figured out how to bring him back.
Well, I may have helped a bit, you know.
So he killed you for more power?
- And you're just cool with it? - Of course.
Because he was going to bring me back,
and he was going to bring my Cordelia back, too.
And his parents.
My life was a small sacrifice.
Because with that power... he could change the world.
Enough about me.
You died ages ago, Oscar.
I assumed you would have moved on to Peace by now.
Mm, mm, for some reason, I don't have one of those blasted coins.
Perhaps I wasn't as good a man as I thought.
- No. - Ah, but no matter,
I wouldn't have wanted to go anyway.
I needed to stay and see how it all turned out.
Just in case you were able to bring me back.
After a while, I realized it probably hadn't worked.
You mustn't beat yourself up about it.
Oscar? Sorry.
Can you give us a moment?
I think I know how to get one of those coins.
I didn't want to believe it.
What Cleo said was right?
You wanted a spell. I found one.
You can't go through with this.
Why? Because it has nothing to do with helping Hope?
Because we're not murderers.
People die in that hospital every day.
We just need to find someone who's really sick.
Dying a day early won't make a difference.
Plus, we'll be saving a life, too.
Dad wouldn't want to come back this way, and you know that.
I actually found this spell in his journal.
I've read a few of them now.
And there was a time in his life
when there was no such thing as too far.
If you're not gonna listen to me, you should know the Squad is outside.
There's no way you can get through all of them.
No.
But thanks to this Illusion Ring, you can.
I'll tell the gang Lizzie needs to rest for a bit.
Ad somnum.
I guess my old code still works. But that'll only get us so far.
Supposedly, there's some sort of elaborate security system.
We'll need to find a way
to sneak into the records room without drawing too much attention.
Don't draw attention. Got it.
I figured the followers of the O.G. Triad
would have laid a trap for us.
It's what I would do.
Told ya.
You know, instead of sneaking around, why don't we have some fun?
Admit it, you're enjoying yourself just a teensy little bit.
Yeah.
If Landon's dizzying knowledge of ghost stories is correct,
you're stuck here not because of some wrong you've committed,
but because you and I have unfinished business.
In order to move forward, I think you need to know the truth.
I did get the power.
I just never brought you back. Or anyone who deserved it.
In fact, I never even tried.
At the end of the day, I just wanted the power for myself.
I was a tyrant.
You... used me?
Yes.
Because I knew you were a very good person
who would do anything for someone you loved.
It doesn't change anything, but what I did was wrong,
and I honestly hope you can find it in your heart to forgive me.
You're telling me this because you want me to forgive you,
so you can be at peace.
It's so you can get on the boat. You're using me all over again.
No, I'm telling you because I'm hoping the truth will set you free.
Hey.
And it wasn't all fake.
I did love you, Oscar.
Your companionship was a very... rare and...
it was a beautiful thing.
I should never have thrown it away.
Will you forgive me?
Not for my sake,
but because I want you to leave this misplaced trust in me behind.
I don't want you to miss out on a chance at Peace because of me.
And that's the truth.
You were right.
The Squad does have a problem.
We need leaders to step up. But you cannot be one of them.
That's how you see it.
That's how they all see it.
You cannot lead a team that doesn't trust you.
You know what I did, I did for Cleo.
I also know that it didn't work.
Josie saved Cleo with the team's help.
And I know that's why you've been so hard on yourself.
You're trying to fix your mistake.
But you can't take that out on the team.
You've got to earn their trust back. Until then, you're benched.
- I thought you left. - That was Lizzie. She knocked me out.
I think that she's trying to do the spell.
Go.
Squad's got it.
We did everything we could. Just make him comfortable.
This looks bad.
I'm not enjoying myself anymore.
Hope, that's an Argus.
Usually, I'd just go down there and kill it single-handedly, but...
I think I want to use you as my bait.
Think of it like your final exam.
Hope, don't.
Time to find out which guy you are.
Innobbarige i jivana.
Innobbarige...
- Hello? - Just a second.
Hello?
I need a second. Hold on.
It's just... that's my dad in there!
They said he didn't have long. I raced over here.
I just want to make sure I get to say goodbye.
Please. Please let me in.
All right, got what I came for.
Is this still going on?
Please. It's gonna kill me.
That's Ryan talking. You need to be more positive than that.
We really should speed this up. You know?
Who's it gonna be... Ryan or Clarke?
No.
Oh, he's leaving. That's disappointing.
I guess we'll never know which guy you are.
Jed, Ethan, watch the exits. We'll check the ICU.
You didn't go through with it.
I almost did.
I found someone on the brink of death,
but then his daughter was there,
so I...
I thought I knew what the right thing to do was.
But Dad was always the one that I'd talk to about that.
Without him here, I don't know what I'm supposed to do.
Just feels like everything is on pause.
And I'm waiting for him to wake up.
And I don't know how long I can handle that.
I can't guarantee that I'm not gonna do something worse tomorrow.
I think I need help.
This time will be different.
That's the spirit.
I had a vision of a tree.
I didn't realize it was on school grounds,
but I should have known
nature would create balance near the site of the Tribrid's birth.
Yet you came alone.
Meaning you haven't told anybody about that fancy toothpick?
Not until I'm certain it works.
You love trying to kill me, don't you?
Honestly, same.
(SPEAKS FOREIGN LANGUAGE)
Oh, God, what happened?
If it's okay with you, could we have a minute alone?
You know, I got to hand it to that girl. She moves fast.
Her name's Trudy.
And after what you did, I don't blame her.
Unbelievable.
You're finally free, and you're just gonna go back?
I thought I convinced you how much being a human sucks.
I know it sucks.
It's hard and disappointing, and some days you hate it.
But I have wanted a normal, boring family
for as long as I can remember.
And as crappy as some of it is,
well, I think Trudy is one of those people
who loves with their whole heart immediately.
I wish I was more like her.
So, make fun of my life all you want.
It's more than I've ever had.
That's pathetic.
Weird. I-I was just thinking the same thing about you.
You know, I-I used to be jealous of you and your friends.
The way you had a home, the way you always stuck together.
Never thought you'd be stupid enough to just throw that all away.
Right. Because I'm really worried about what you think, Ryan.
No, actually, I think you are.
We both know you could have compelled me to come with you.
But you didn't.
Because you wanted me to make the same choice you did.
Because I'm not the person you were really trying to convince.
Which means that somewhere in there,
some part of you knows what you're doing is wrong.
Don't open the book.
Just go home.
Before you do something you can't come back from.
Good news. We got Lizzie in time.
I'm not surprised. MG is the right leader for the Squad.
To be honest,
I knew it the moment he had the guts to bench me.
Look, uh... I shouldn't have said what I did.
Dude, it's... You're good.
Sorry about the fireball.
Guess I got a couple things I got to work out on my own, you know?
- New powers are hard to control. - Yeah.
You'll get a handle on it.
Well, maybe we can train together or something.
Yo.
Uh, yo.
Hi. Uh, I-I'm looking for the Super Squad,
if that means anything to you.
Depends who's asking.
Just a concerned citizen
who wants them to know there's a monster on the loose.
An Argus.
And it's acting weird.
Weirder than the usual monster, I mean.
Uh, and last I saw, it was off Route 50.
Good luck.
All done. Past life is over.
And no more secrets. Ever.
Ever. And I promise I'll find a way to make today up to you.
You want to make it up to me?
Tell me more about vampires.
I want to know... everything.
What was that about?
Wrong number.
Uh, thanks for the offer, man,
but I think I should probably train alone.
Got to go.
Want some company?
About what I said earlier...
I get it.
Thought you were gonna go in the box with her.
I would have.
She didn't want me to.
Maybe Lizzie's right about that.
Some problems other people can't fix for you.
What is it?
There was a moment at the hospital today
where I thought that Lizzie had done the spell.
And I was glad,
because then he'd be back
and I wouldn't have to figure this out alone.
But now she's gone, too.
And I don't know what I'm supposed to do.
Maybe because you never have that problem.
When your sister's around, there's no room for you to be messed up.
Come here.
I know... I'm not a therapy box.
But I can hold you.
And you can be however you need to be.
The world's not gonna fall apart
if Josie Saltzman breaks down for a bit.
At least someone found Peace.
He deserves it more than I.
Dude.
Must be some sort of mistake. I didn't let anything go.
Ah. You did something good. You helped Oscar cross over.
He did something good
by accepting the truth and forgiving you.
Guess that means you get to go to Peace now, too.
I made a promise. I won't go there without you.
Ah...
I guess you're not as bad a guy as I thought.
I knew it!
Self-sacrifice is always the bloody answer.
I win at last, Ferryman!
Sorry.
I'm a work in progress.
Aren't we all?
You got room for a third?
