I used to be afraid of the dark.

When you're 6 years old,
a shadowed bedroom can seem

as terrifying as the night sky
must have seemed to the ancient men.

And those things said to go out
in the night,

they can feel just as real.

***

I was onloy following your advice.

***

I'm sorry, old friend.

***

***



A monster, a ghost...

***

***

Eventually I grew up,

got over it, learned that if I could just
hang on, the sun will always rise again.

But then everything changed.

***

***

You smell it too, don't you, Josh?

If you kill him, you're free.

Something's coming.

Is this what you're looking for?

You know you don't have it in you.

So the childish night terrors
came right back.



Because now, I'm one of
those things that go bump.

♪ Hey, hey, hey, hey

This isn't over, Aidan.

Mother will keep
coming after you.

Then that ability you have

to endear yourself to the royal
family has finally paid off.

If they'd sent anyone else,
it would've ended differently.

She will send someone else!

And they'll keep
coming after you

until Suren's back home, tied up
in Mother's apron strings.

Let me help you.

I managed to stay hidden for
the better part of a century.

Together, we have
a fighting chance.

But you have to
leave her behind.

Henry, I'm not
leaving her behind.

Then you're dead.

I appreciate what
you did back there,

but I do have
a few years on you.

I'm familiar with
the struggle to survive.

Mother's offer might've
been vindictive,

but you have to admit,

this is what you always wanted,

to live among humans,
to be free of all of this.

Freedom on her terms
is no freedom at all.

Maybe I want more.

Is Suren really worth it?

You know, Bishop used to
say the same thing about you.

You're going back
to Boston, kid.

Shhh! Shhh!
It's OK, it's OK.

Listen to me.

I'm the outcast, not you.

You belong safely in on
the inside, and you always have.

Now, this wound, it's deep

and it will convince Mother
that you put up a good fight.

And no one will be surprised

that I stopped short
of killing you,

because it's like
you always said:

I'm nothing,
if not sentimental.

Aaah!

We have a talent
for goodbyes, you and I.

Let's hope we don't have
to wait another 80 years.

Of course I'm late again.

Wow! Our mornings
are progressing

at vastly different rates.

I'm still on 8 across.

I'm sorry. I sort of
have somewhere to be.

Don't you know how rare it is

for a doctor and the
lower-ranking hospital employee

with whom she's is engaged in
an inappropriate relationship

to have simultaneous days off?

Josh, it's Chelsea.

She's in town.

Oh, God.

For the record, the abject
terror on my face

isn't an entirely
accurate reflection

of how I feel about
your best friend.

And I told her weeks ago
that I was seeing someone,

but I left out the part
about how that someone

is the demon man-child
who ruins lives.

That's what she started calling
you after you ran out on me.

Huh! Succinct.

I wanted to make sure that
we were really together first,

that this was gonna stick.

You know how she is.

Hence the abject terror.

You wanna tell
Chelsea about us?

But I also know
that she'll go home

and open that always-gigantic
mouth of hers around Ithaca,

which means it's
just a matter of time

before our parents are
sobbing over the phone,

insisting how they always knew
we'd work things out someday.

So I wanted
to make sure that...

you wanna tell Chelsea too.

I wanna say
the right thing here.

Well, don't by--

- No, I won't.

I want this to work.

Please know that.

But yes, there are some things

that I need to
work out for myself.

'Cause I'm not--
I won't hurt you again.

OK?

OK.

Look, the fact that
you're addressing it--

- That's for us.

Yes. That's what
matters to me.

But you could also
meet us for drinks at 4:00,

get it over with.

It would mean a lot.

I'll call you.

Yeah.

:Extension 2362,
Joanne Lawson...

: Hey, hey!

Hey, so fries...

...at 10:00 a.m.

I mean, yum!

So I just came from maternity.

Maybe you forgot
to salt the door.

Maybe I did.

OK, 'cause, um, I just
thought that the whole, um,

open-season-for-baby-jumping
thing was something

that we were trying to avoid,

so maybe you should...

What?

You're worried a ghost
would act selfishly,

use a human being
to get what they want

with no regard for the
ramifications of their actions?

Zoe, look...

I am so sorry for
what I did to Nick.

It wasn't me.

I was sick.
You saw that.

And I'm getting better now.

If you don't believe me,
just ask my roommates.

Was it the vampire
or the werewolf?

You know why
I can't bring myself

to keep protecting
those babies upstairs?

It's because of you,

because of what
you did to Nick.

No!

Every time I see a ghost,

I'm reminded that
being a medium

is what's kept me
alone all my life,

that it's a curse.

So you're on your own now,
all of you.

If you want to lift this
curse, you have kill Ray

while he's still a man.

Dad!

How's it going?
Ready for school?

Not gonna let me go, are ya?

Thanks. Bye.

Take care.
Have a good day.

Josh!

See, I thought we had a sort
of an unspoken agreement going.

You were the one
who told me to get lost.

Remember?

I'm sorry...

about how we left things.

I know we had our differences.

If that's what you wanna call
turving your back on a brother.

A lot's happened
since then, Ray,

most of it
decidedly unpleasant.

It turns out
you were right about me,

about denying the wolf.

And I have a 2nd
chance now with a girl.

And you--you are the only
other person I've ever met

who's like me, so I--

- So you thought it
might be worth reaching out.

I told you, didn't I?

That you'd come looking for me,

that one day, you'd get it.

Eh?

We got a lot of
catching up to do.

Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, I guess so.

I mean, the house.
My God! The job.

The business.

Yeah, it turns out that
uncanny bond with nature

can be milked for
a pretty respectable income.

And me and my wife renewed
the vows and everything.

I got 'em back, Josh.

My boy, too.

And I have a piece
of advice for you.

You tell that girl
of yours the truth.

Your wife knows about the wolf?

Look, when I turned,
I ran out on them, right?

But as lonely as I was, I knew
Val had to be hurting too.

There were tears, sure.

But she and I,
we worked through it.

And now...

I get to live my truth, Josh.

I gotta shackle myself

in a steel-paneled
basement once a month, but...

...we all got
something, right?

I'm happy for you.

Why don't you
look me up sometime?

There's no reason
we can't be friends.

Where were you?
I'm starving in this motel!

Though its variety of peanut-
butter crackers is impressive,

the vending machine's
running low on fresh blood.

Hang on a little while longer.

Henry won't give up
our location.

No!

But when we go outside,
we risk exposure.

I'll be back when
I've secured a hiding place.

You'll have blood then.

No! I won't sit here

like some damsel waiting
for you to rescue me!

I can fight my own battles.

But after today, we won't
have to fight anymore!

I have to go back.

Mother will do anything
to control me,

and that means as long
as we keep running,

your life is in danger.

No, no! You just
need to trust me.

Suren, this can work.

Where we're headed, it's
isolated and it's off the grid,

and it's the only place where we
can be truly free of her reach.

Something happened to you.

No. Hey, hey, hey.

Nothing's gonna
happen to me, OK?

I just need you to wait here.

OK? Can you do that?

All right?

We're almost on
the other side of this.

Hurry, please?

And then there were two.

Did--did you find Zoe?

Suffice it to say
that if this was AA,

step 9 would be my Everest.

Hey.

Oprah me.

- If you were a woman...
- Hmm!

...of the blood
and guts variety,

and therefore entirely unaware

of the totality of
the supernatural world--

- Ah, the bliss!

Right. Would you
want to know

if your boyfriend had
this revolting secret

that borderline ruined
his life on a daily basis,

or would you rather
remain blissful...

but never have the chance to
completely understand him?

Well, as difficult
as it is for me

to crack that brilliantly
disguised hypothetical...

...why would you wanna
tell Julia about the wolf?

Thought everything was
hearts and rainbows there.

- That's exactly why.
- Well...

Well, Julia isn't
just some JDate

who made it to
coffee number two.

You don't get back together

with the woman who
you left at the altar

if you're not pretty sure
you're totally committed.

Well, are you?

Because this is
life-changing information.

But lying is what got us
here in the first place.

Isn't it my responsibility
to try to make things right,

whatever it takes?

You have to wait.

They're not to be
woken before sundown.

Which one is he?

No?

I guess I'll have
to cut them all open.

Stop, please!

I don't have time to wait.

You wake him up now.

Hey!

Hi!

Chelsea.

Ha!

Mmm!

She took it that well, huh?

I don't know what you expected.

Or maybe you didn't realize

the duty of calling each
of your 196 wedding guests

and breaking the news

that the KitchenAid Stand
Mixers were theirs to keep

would fall on
the Maid of Honour.

Chelsea, please!
We talked about this.

No, it's--

It's OK.
I deserve that.

See, Jules? We're on
the same page, Josh and I.

Well, then, now that
you got in the allotted jab,

we can get down to the business
of brokering peace.

Absolutely.

To peace.

To peace.

It's good to see you.

Mm-hmm.

No, I--
I mean it.

I know what it must've
been like when I left,

that Julia wasn't the
only person that I hurt.

I wouldn't have
agreed to come today

if I couldn't look you in the
eye and tell you that I'm sorry.

And I'm not going
anywhere this time, OK?

Can I get you guys
another glass of wine?

Actually, I think
we'll take a bottle.

Great.

: Oh...

I realize it's
an unorthodox request,

but Suren and I aren't planning
on staying here hidden forever.

It's just until
it's safe to move on.

Crossing Mother by hiding
the recognized leader of Boston,

her daughter?

It's not a risk
you can expect us to take.

Word is your purebred trophy
helped you rise

through the ranks of the Dutch.

To a well-deserved
seat on the council, yes.

You enjoying the
perks of your new gig?

I know Hegeman did.

If you're suggesting
I haven't earned my way...

Oh, come on.
We were both there, Atlee.

But I just wonder how
your brothers would react

to hearing the truth of
how you avenged his death.

- How many are there?
- Four.

- We can't survive!
- Go to Pennsylvania, coward!

I'd rather return
a coward than dead!

I did Mother's bidding.
Look at me.

Hegeman did Mother's
bidding. Look at him.

Have you asked yourself where
Mother was when Hegeman died?

Where Mother was when
you asked for justice?

I was the only one
who stepped up to help you

and what did I do?

I delivered the pelt that
gave you control of the Dutch.

Let us agree that
I am in your debt, but this--

- This is how you repay me.

Only this, only now.

Now is the moment
that we settle.

They'll need convincing.

Well, it's a good thing
they're your leader.

And to them,

you are the heretic
loathe to conform to our ways.

What can I do?

They'll be up soon and hungry.

They'll want food, fresh food.

What does that
have to do with me?

Bring it now.

What do you think of the wine?

Don't start again, Chels.

Cayuga Lake Wine Trails,
senior year?

Oh, come on!

In my defence,

I didn't have a lot of tasting
experience back then.

Probably because of the fact

that the name on your fake ID
was Fabio Cortez.

- I'm gonna use the ladies room.
- OK.

- Try not to kill each other.
- Yeah.

It takes a determined
man to declare

that the water served to cleanse
the palate between tastings

has a refreshing bouquet
of nutmeg and honeysuckle.

You say "determined",
I say "drunk". Mm-hmm.

I'm sorry.

It's just, uh...

this is exactly how
things were a few years ago.

A couple bottles of wine,

Julia with that look
she gets around you,

like you invented
penicillin or Spanx.

You want me to apologize
for making your friend happy?

No.

I want you to keep
making her happy.

I need you to keep
making her happy.

That's why I'm here.

What about you?

Julia may have wanted
to broker peace,

but I'm here to warn you, Josh.

You made her happy before,

for a lot of years.

But then all of
a sudden, you were gone.

She almost had
to drop out of med school

because she couldn't
get out of bed in the morning.

I know what this means,

Julia telling me
about the two of you.

It means that
you've won her back.

She's all in.

So if there's anything left

of whatever it is that
came between the two of you,

you're gonna tell her
about it and soon,

because a 2nd chance
is tough enough.

There's no one left back home
willing to give you a 3rd.

Well done, you two.
No bloodshed.

And the table's still
upright and everything.

Sorry, Jules,
but I've gotta take off.

What? No! We're not
even drunk yet!

I know! But the traffic
getting out of the city

is gonna be a nightmare, so...

Aw! OK.

Thanks for coming. Ah!

Oh!

Bye.

Josh.

I'm really glad we did this.

Me too.

"The world will little note
nor never forget

"what we say here

"while it will never forget
what they did here."

Yeah, that is some
deep prose, huh?

You tired of the
great speeches in history?

'Cause I went to
parochial school,

so I know, like,
half of the 154 sonnets

and I got most of
The Canterbury Tales on deck.

Enough. Uncle, OK?

Look, I know that I can
never make up for what I did,

but please don't
use that as an excuse

to turn your back on your gift.

Did Chelsea say
something to you?

- Things.
- Aw...

Several of them.

She's just protective of me.
It doesn't mean I feel the same.

Don't you, though?

Isn't there a little part
of you that still wonders...

if you can really trust me.

I want to.

And I'm almost there.

We can make it this time.

You just have to keep
being honest with me.

What's going on?

It's an eclipse.

What the hell?

Oh!

Sally, no!

Walter.

He's back.

- Julia, there's something--
- Is everything all right?

I need to tell you
the whole truth.

- But you're--
- No!

Walter!

Walter!

Josh, what's the matter?

What's happening?

You have to talk to me.

Are you having pain
in your chest?

What's wrong?

Josh!

Don't just stand there!

We have to help him!

He's not supposed
to be here, Zoe.

What? What are
you talking about?

I

He's been shredded, Zoe.

I killed him.

- It's the eclipse.
- Why?

It's something about the
duality of the sun and moon.

It messes with
the order of things.

It skews the planes of
paranormal existence.

When I was a kid,
I went on this field trip

to watch one through
a filtered telescope

and it just started happening.

Ghosts started appearing.

Walter,

where did you come from?

It was here.

Here in the park.

That's where I did it.

Zoe.

I shredded Walter
and he reappears

in the exact spot that he died.

Oh my God!

Nick. He's at my house.

I'll meet you there.

Hurry.

Nick?

- Nick?
- No! No!

- Are you OK?
- No, no, no!

It's OK.
I'm not gonna hurt you.

Danny!

Josh!

Josh!

Nick, I am so, so sorry.

Please, please believe me!

It's me, Sally.

Sally?

Nick, it's OK.
Just hold on, OK?

Keep talking.
Tell me what happened.

Uh, I was gone.

It all ended,
but only for a moment.

I lost my body.

But my mind, I--

I still knew that I existed,

that somehow I had survived,

but in another place.

You were somewhere else?

Somewhere better?

Like heaven?

No.

It's like I'm trapped forever.

I can see, but there's
nothing to see.

It's some kind of limbo.

And the pain!

I can't go back, Sally.

- Josh!
- Aaah!

Josh!

No, go back!

No!

Whoa!

Josh!

Josh!

Look at me.

Please!

: Josh...

No, Julia!

You did this to me, Sally.

- You can't make me go back there.
- Nick, I--

- Please!
I need your help!

I can't!
I don't know how.

Nick?

Oh my God!

I thought I'd
never see you again!

There's a solar eclipse

and wherever you are,
whatever happened to you,

I think its energy
is merging our 2 planes.

How much time do we have?

I don't know.
Maybe a few minutes.

I got here as fast as I could.

Sally?

You sure are a sight
for sore eyes.

Me? Wow.

It must really be bad in there.

It's so bad, it's like you
knew where you were sending me.

Nick, I need to know.

You have to tell me
where you are right now.

I mean, are you OK?

I just need to hear the truth.

Zoe, you are the first
thing since I died,

the first thing
that made sense.

You saved me.

But, uh...

Now I'm at peace.

And I think I'm in
a better place.

So you don't have to
worry about me anymore.

Is everybody there like you?

Were they all--

- Shredded?

No, not all.

Some of them just went
through the wrong door.

And others...

Well, let's just
say, limbo --

That's what
we're calling it --

has its share of undesirables.

But who are we kidding, Sally?

It's nothing I don't deserve.

I miss you so much.

I never thought I'd be so happy

to get a chance
to say goodbye to someone.

Goodbye.

I won't forget you.

Are you OK?

It doesn't matter.

Nick is OK.

So...

I will be too.

Thank you.

Why didn't you tell me?

I couldn't!

I didn't know how.

After I found out...

when I was turned...

the life I knew before ended.

The person I was died.

I didn't want you
to have to face that.

I thought you were better off.

I was trying to protect you.

I will protect you...

from this.

I still can.

No, Josh, you can't.

It's too late.

I'm so--

I'm so sorry.

This was the reason...
