I am Balestro.
- What the
- You have 30 days.
Every vampire in this earthly
realm will be exterminated.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC]
You're the reason angels
want to kill us all.
If I'm going to die, then
I am going out on my terms.
[SNARLS]
- What's up?
- It's my mom.
My mom spent most of
the last month in bed.
Behold, I am Altus.
Call me Dad.
Huzzah.
Duck! Duck!
You, hamster, stop!
They towed my home away.
I'm going to need accommodations.
But now that I'm facing
certain death again,
I have to lie to Sarah about it.
There's something else going on,
and I came here to demand
that you tell me what it is.
I will help you.
It's time I revealed
my true nature to you.
Seriously?
♪
You're an angel?
I am.
- Since when?
- The dawn of creation.
- But you love slushies.
- They are delicious.
Hey, Cupid, back the fuck up.
Whoa, Reginald.
Cupid is the offspring
of Venus and Mars.
- I am a messenger of the divine.
- Didn't ask. Don't care.
- Reginald.
- Why don't you get your halo
and get out of here, all
right? Before I bring the pain.
I mean, it might not be possible,
but I will sacrifice
this body if I have to.
No one is asking you to do any of that.
- What's gotten into you?
- Reginald is afraid.
He sees me as a rival.
Whoa, whoa, whoa. I'm not afraid.
- And I am not a rival.
- Of course you're not.
Reggie, come on.
Slushy guy is harmless
and, okay, an angel.
Is that why I feel so safe around you?
You feel safe because you are safe.
Sarah, listen to me.
This is my pledge and my truth.
- Sarah, if you just let me explain
- Reginald, please.
Right, sorry.
Angels are real. Mind is blown.
How is this possible? [BREATHES DEEPLY]
Carry on.

- [CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKING]
- What are you doing?
Documenting our road trip,
starting with the snack-making.
- Honey, smile.
- No, not you him.
Me? I'm making sandwiches.
You're cutting the crusts off.
- Crusts are gross.
- [CHUCKLES] You're adorable.
Aren't you, like, 1,000
years too old for that?
I am not 1,000.
Oh, that's good to hear,
because I don't know
if I could, uh, handle the, uh, age gap.
So how old are you?
Oh, middle-aged, in incubus years.
But on the other hand, I'm also the guy
who offered to drive at 3:00 a.m.
to go see a sunrise of all things.
If we don't get there early, we'll
miss when the sky gets all glowy.
What kind of kid wants to wake up
at 3:00 in the morning?
- An awesome one.
- She's got you there.
Mm, well, I don't have
to be happy about it.
Oh, sure you do.
[SMOOCHES]
- Ooh.
- Better?
- Getting there.
- No, no, no.
He might be my dad, but
no smoochies allowed.
- Oh, but Mama has needs.
- No!
We need to document this, too.
Altus, get in here
- family selfie.
- [SIGHS]
Oh, well, there's that
family resemblance.
Okay, I want all smiles,
no goofball faces.
Got it? Okay.
In three, two, one.
[CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS]
- Really?
- [CHUCKLES]
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
If he's here to kill us, then
why hasn't he done it already?
Maybe because he got sidetracked.
What if he's here to observe us
- [SCOFFS]
- Like an advanced scout?
Oh, yeah, he's
observing something else.
Reggie, are you mad because
Balestro is going to eradicate
the entire vampire species
or because there's an
angel mackin' on your girl?
She's not my girl anymore.
Can angels even mack?
That's, like, a sin, right?
I have no idea.
What do you think they're talking about?
You can listen if you want to.
Use your ears.
Invading Sarah's privacy?
God. It's off-limits.
We're vampires, not monsters.
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
So slushie guy turns out to be an angel.
But what's with the
obsession with slushies?
I-I don't get it.
Is it a misdirect or
or part of his disguise?
My 23rd favorite combination
is 2/3 Mango Swirl,
1/4 Chocoholic Blast,
and the remaining 1/12 Passion Pulp.
My 24th favorite combination
What's his deal?
I'll tell you what it's not honesty,
because if he was
telling Sarah the truth,
that angels are coming
to wipe us out in 27 days,
she would kick him
right in the celestials.
- I'm outing this guy right now.
- Oh, hang on, hang on.
Maybe right now is not
the best time for that.
Why, because it's rude to interrupt?
No, because the entire vampire species
is counting on us, is
counting on you and your big
Big brain. Work the
problem, solve for X.
Be the hero we need.
I'm totally down with the hero concept.
That's the spirit.

Mom, are you ready?
Altus is going to be here

Please tell me you didn't
forget to set your alarm.
Are you still asleep?

How did this happen?
Sometimes it just does.
No, but she was okay.
She was Mom.
I don't I don't understand.
Do you want a hug?
I don't believe this. This is not true.
How about some water or or a snack?
We packed the snacks.
For the road trip.
I'll get them for you.
Where's your backpack?
Claire?
Hey, I got here as fast as I could.
I'm so sorry.
I went into her room.
I thought she forgot to set her alarm.
She was fine before bed.
She wouldn't forget to set
it. Why didn't she set it?
Hey, hey, hey.
A lot of things are not going
to make sense right now, okay?
But you know what? They don't have to.
What are you doing?
I'm getting your snacks.
She's in there.
How about we just
leave it alone for now,
contact the coroner?
But she needs snacks.
What do you mean, the coroner?
T-that's who you call.
Have you made the call?
- We've been busy.
- Right.
Right, okay. I'll do that right now.
No, they'll go in the
room. They'll take her.
Hey, Claire, why don't we go sit down?
Don't talk to me like I'm a kid!
Well, you are a kid.
♪
No one gets snacks.
No one takes Mom away.
And no one opens this door.
♪
Oh-oh, shit.
My family believes that we're chosen.
I ran away from that.
They believe that being chosen
means you have a guardian angel
that watches over you.
Last year I had this moment
behind the Slushy Shack.
I prayed.
Did you hear my prayer?
No, I didn't.
So you're not my guardian angel.
I'm not.
Are you anyone's guardian angel?
No.
What do you do all day?
Okay, I can't believe I asked
an actual angel that question.
Are there harps?
Halos?
Do you sit around all day on
clouds watching us like ants?
I'm a cosmic entity tuned to
the vibrations of existence,
a glimmer of the Almighty's light.
I don't watch ants.
Oh, okay.
Got it. No ants.
[GASPS] Just to be clear,
"ants" means "people."
[CELL PHONE CHIMES]
Oh, no. Oh, God.
- What's wrong?
- Claire.
- Who's Anne?
- Claire's mom.
She's dead.
Whoa, what? When?
[SOMBER MUSIC]
Wait, did you just read my mind?
- Yes.
- You can't do that.
It's rude and creepy.
And just don't do it again, okay?
I'm sorry. Your thoughts belong to you.

Claire, I know you are grieving.
But you need to step
away from the door, okay?
Your mom wouldn't want this.
Less stress-pacing, please.
Damn it, Anne. Why
didn't you just tell her?
Talking to yourself
is not helping either.
Tell me what?
[SIGHS]
There was something
wrong with her blood
bone marrow, white blood cells.
I didn't understand, not really.
She was sick?
N-no, that's not true.
Well, that's why I've
been here so often.
Human medicine couldn't save her.
We had hoped that there
was a supernatural cure.
We tried everything.
I was ready to give up.
But then out of nowhere,
she seemed better.
And I thought well, I hoped that
If she was sick, why didn't she tell me?
She wanted to wait.
Wait for what?
I don't know. The right time, a miracle.
What's going on?
Claire won't move from
the door, and her mom
she's inside.
What are you talking
about? What right time?
- What miracle?
- I don't know.
- Then why did you say it?
- I don't know!
What good are you if
you don't know anything?
What do you want from me?
I loved her, okay?
I loved her.
But you
we just met.
Okay, enough of that. Let's
just take a deep breath.
She wanted me to be here for Claire
because she knew she couldn't be.
But Claire doesn't want me.
Can you blame her?

We need to talk.
You're Maurice Miller,
the vampire deacon.
You're their leader.
And you're Uriel, one of the angels
who wants to exterminate me and mine.
I am an angel,
but I no longer wish
for your extinction.
My mission on Earth was to
find Balestro's offspring.
You're here for Balestro's kid?
Not anymore.
You're an angel, but
you're not on his side?
I'm on my own path now.
Then you won't mind
telling me how to stop him.
[CHUCKLES]
Balestro is a celestial entity
with powers beyond your imagining.
- He can't be stopped.
- That's not good enough.
There's got to be something I can do.
Accept the inevitable.
Accept your death.
There is no other choice.

How about a slushy?
Or we could go get something to eat?

We're not leaving you alone.
If you don't want to move,
you don't have to move.
No one is rushing you.
But sooner or later,
you have to think about what that means.
Like what, the afterlife?
No, Claire, honey, this is about you
and what you're going through, okay?
It's a process.
You're right.
Death is just a process.
It doesn't mean you have to die from it.
Uh, Claire, you know
that's not how that works.
No, there has to be a way.
- A way to what?
- To bring my mom back.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

- Uh

I'm not hungry.
Reggie says you haven't eaten a thing.
If she says she's not
hungry, she's not hungry.
Okay.

What have you got there?
Ideas
how to bring her back.
Can I see?
[INHALES DEEPLY, CLEARS THROAT]
Yikes, your phone's at 1%.
- Where's the charger?
- In my backpack
in her room.
I'll text Reginald to grab
a charger on his way back.
Let's hear Claire's idea first.
All right, start with the obvious
- turn her into a vampire.
- Won't work.
She'd need vampire blood
in her system when she
- died.
- I know that.
Zombification.
- Are zombies real?
- No, they're not.
[SCOFFS] And why would
anyone want to live like that?
Zombie's a definite no.
Here's an interesting
one Lazarus miracle.
Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead.
I don't think Son of God is
on call for miracles anymore.
I've got an idea, but
we'll need a spirit board.
How is a stupid toy going to help?
Just because they're sold as toys
doesn't mean they aren't
useful in a séance.
And if we're going to
bring your mom back,
we should probably make sure
her spirit's up for the trip.
No harm in trying.
Right?
Okay, there's a spirit board
on the shelf over there.

Thanks for taking me seriously.
We got you.

Oh, yes. Please.
They are awful when they're hangry.
Can you pass me a slice, too?
♪
Yeah.
[CHUCKLES SOFTLY]
♪
She seemed completely
healthy just the other day.
Terminal lucidity.
It's a phenomenon
where people experience
increased energy and alertness
in the days leading up to their death.
They call it a death rally.
Maybe Uriel can do something about it?
Are we really going to ask him
to bring Claire's mom back to life?
Is that something angels can even do?
Well, I'm worried about what
happens to Claire if we can't.
[SIGHS] We need to get Altus back.
What? So he can just run away again?
He's the only family she's got.
Sometimes family isn't the best option.
You know, I want to
help in any way we can,
but I don't have the first
idea what it feels like
to lose someone like that.
I'm glad my parents aren't in my life.
I chose that.
But the fact that they're alive
it feels good to know that they are.
It's weird, right?
I miss my mom and dad all the time.
Hawaii is a long way from Rubber City,
and as you know, vampire
travel is complicated.
- Maybe they'll come visit?

Akron's got nothing on the
most beautiful place on Earth.

Hello? Todd?
- Got thirsty customers here.
- Yeah. No, little busy here.
Hey, you're an angel, right?
That question was
rhetorical. This one isn't.
Can you bring someone back to life?
There's a cosmic balance
that must be maintained.
Yeah, yeah, I read that comic book.
Yes or no?
[SIGHS]
Violating a law of creation
comes at a great price,
one that must be paid willingly.
Okay, great.
Retail, wholesale,
aftermarket, how how much?
A death for a life, a life for a death.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC]
So
you're saying the only way
to bring someone back is if
someone takes their place.
Yes.
But you must appeal to a
far higher power than me.
And the journey there
is beyond your scope.
It's impossible for you.
Well, look at you
sitting there all satisfied
in your normie clothes

Reginald was angry with me.
You look so sad. Why?

But human lives are short.
It's not unusual for the
mother to pass before the child.
You think that we
measure our lives in time.
You're not wrong,
but we also measure our lives in people.
I don't understand.
Every person in my life
is a piece of my life,
and the more someone
matters, the bigger the piece.
You follow?
Now, if someone who mattered to me
suddenly died
it would feel like a piece
had been ripped out of my life

you to your first music,
your first food, your first jokes.
If I erase her [SIGHS]

ever love someone again?

If I knew, I would have been
different. I would have been better.
Oh, if I would have
told you, if you knew,
every time I'd look at you,
I'd see it in your face.
Every time you'd smile
at me, make a joke,
I'd know you were hurting,

all of this out of nowhere
by myself?
You're not alone.
You know what I mean.
Is it so bad that I didn't want death
hanging over the last
days we had together?
It was totally selfish.
Yes, I suppose it was.
This is so unfair.
You're a really good person.
You don't deserve this.

I don't really see the need to.
You picked a fight with a child.

It won't happen again.
Sure it will.
Balestro is coming,

Remember what you told
me? It's okay to be afraid.
I don't have time for afraid.
Yeah, well, it's got time for you,

in the worst possible ways,
like picking a fight with a child

Mom?
Wait.

Uriel said I'd get to
see you one last time,

About what?
Whatever you want.
You were sick for a long time.
Yes.

me? Why did you do that?
If I knew, I would have been
different. I would have been better.
Oh, if I would have
told you, if you knew,
every time I'd look at you,
I'd see it in your face.
Every time you'd smile
at me, make a joke,
I'd know you were hurting,

all of this out of nowhere

You're not alone.

Is it so bad that I didn't want death
hanging over the last

Yes, I suppose it was.
