[VOICE ECHOING] I am Balestro.
In 23 days, an angel's
going to return at midnight
and wipe every vampire
off the planet, me included.
You're an angel,
but you're not on his side.
I no longer wish for your extinction.
I'm on my own path now.
You give me slushies.
I will protect you from harm,
ever and always.
Reggie, are you mad because
Balestro is gonna eradicate
the entire vampire species,
or because there's an angel
macking on your girl?
She's not my girl anymore.
Uriel loaned me his flaming sword
to kill the angel Raphael
so he wouldn't kill Sarah,
so I killed him.
I choose to fight.
What the hell? Let's kill Balestro.

You look at me just like

Nice night for a run.
It was.
[LAUGHS]
You wound me.
- Not yet.
- [LAUGHS]
Did you run track?
Couldn't help but notice your form.
Comes from years and years of practice.
Name's Brad.
Justine.
So, Justine, you feeling lucky?
Because if you're
looking for some company,
I could go all night.
[BOTH LAUGHING]
- Os clauditur. Tacebis.

I know your mother warned you
against strange women.
Next time, listen to your mother, Brad.
Be careful. It's a jungle out here.

[KNOCK AT DOOR]
I'm dwelling. I don't like to dwell.
Help me move on.
Uh, I'd I'd love to,
but care to read me in on what?
You have 23 days left to live,
and you lied to me about it, again.
Well, 21 days,
but your point still stands.
How does this keep happening to you?
It's really surprising, isn't it?
But good news, we don't die
if we kill Balestro.
Okay, well, that is good news,
but you kept me in the dark again.
I was gonna tell you,
but first Maurice wanted me
to hold it back
because we needed to know
what was what,
and then Slushy Guy
turned into an angel,
and then Claire lost her mom.
How is she?
Ashley's saying that she's settling in
with them and Nikki,
but she needs time.
Her mom died, so
but I swear,
that is the only reason why.
Okay, I understand.
And bright side, everything
is out in the open now.
[DRAWERS CLATTERING]
Speaking of swords
Were we?
Crazy transition, right?
Do you think Uriel would loan his out?
If that sword can kill an angel
It can kill another like Balestro.
You wanna use Uriel's sword.
That could work.
Great, because that's the plan.
[SIGHS] We are all out of blood.

No, no, no.
We'll get it after.
Fine, I'll order takeout. God.

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
[SIGHS] What's this about?
Sounded urgent.
If we're gonna capture
and kill Balestro,
we're gonna need the A-team.
So Mr. T and a bunch of white guys.
No. Wait.
Is Mr. T one of us?
[SIGHS] Reggie, focus.
We need muscle,
the baddest vamps available.
And I need you in your capacity
as deacon to summon them here.
Okay. Who did you have in mind?
Erich, for one.
He's overdue for a promotion
after his brief stint as my butler.
Isis, one name only, heavy hitter,
one of Logan's original bodyguards.
[SIGHS] Okay. Is that it?
Justine Arnaud?
The vampire witch?
No. No. [HAND THUDS ON TABLE]
And just so I'm clear,
no, no, hell no.
Why not?
Justine is powerful and unpredictable,
and not to mention crazy.
Justine Arnaud might
just be the secret weapon
we need to defeat Balestro.
[SOFT SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
[SIGHS]
I can't imagine she's
gonna react well to a summons.
She was at my Assessment.
Logan was a big fan of hers.
Spread the word that I wanna talk.
Maybe she'll listen.
Fine. I'll do it.
Okay, but involving Justine
in our plans? No.
Reg!
We are not paying you to socialize.
These slushies aren't
gonna sell themselves.
I mean, they almost will
when you consider
the quality and craftsmanship
of our products.
[WHISPERS] But I need you!
Yep.
Oh, have a good day.
[KNOCK AT DOOR]
Probably not.
No, never.
Come out with me.
Spend a little time
before the meetup at the Shack.
I can think of a few
better uses of our time.
Pass.
We gotta focus on the mission.
You mean your mission.
I could care less.
Could not care less.
If you could care less,
that means you care a little.
And given the attitude you're throwing?
Okay, do not correct
my grammar and then expect me
to have a civilized
conversation with you
about your mission.
Besides, why are you so determined
to protect our food?
Evil hides in the shadows.
We don't have to let it stay there,
and we damn sure don't
have to invite it in.
Then just say what you mean.
We're in a fight for our lives,
just like the humans, every day.
And yeah, they're our food,
but that doesn't mean
they have to die without
good reason to sustain us.
Okay.
So this is me doing time,
not spending it, right?
What is this, penance
for my little indiscretion?
You ripped throats out,
left dead bodies
in the middle of the street
like they were nothing.
I'm sorry, Angie.
They're not nothing.
Human lives have value.
People die, Maurice.
And no amount of you playing Batman
is gonna change that.
[SOFT TENSE MUSIC]
All you'll do is
make yourself crazy trying.
I'll see you later at the Shack.
Mm, see you at the Shack.
[DOOR SLAMS]
[HUFFS SOFTLY]
Balestro's coming for us all.
There's no killing Balestro
without Uriel's sword.
Without it, our plan is
Okay, but even if you
do convince the angel
to part with the sword,
there's no way you guys
are gonna pull this off.
Extremely improbable, yes.
But thanks to Uriel,
we know angels can die.
This is achievable.
I wanna believe in the power
of positive thinking, too,
but Balestro is not just any angel.
That's why we need Justine!
Who?
Oh, uh, vampire witch
extraordinaire Justine Arnaud.
- Oh.

[OMINOUS MUSIC]
Reginald Andres?
I hear you wanna talk.
Damn, great entrance.
Tacebis.
[INAUDIBLE]
Oh, my God! Please stop! Stop!
W-we're all friends here.
We just wanna talk.
So you said.
Liberaris.
[GASPS] Damn!
Try to compliment a gal.
I came to hear what he has to say.
Looks like word got around fast.
Except I didn't say anything yet.
Oh, you two said plenty.
A little notification bell
went off in my head
when you said my name, Reginald.
I apologize.
I did do a little eavesdropping.
It helps me avoid unpleasant surprises.
- You understand.
- Totally?
After what I heard,
couldn't resist a face-to-face.
Tell me everything.
Who is this Balestro and why do
you want my help killing him?
[SIGHS]
Wait, so you didn't
eavesdrop on that part too?
I don't appreciate your tone.
Maybe I'll change it
to something more to my liking.
Balestro's an angel!
An extremely powerful angel.
And he's coming to kill all vampires,
you included, in 21 days.
But I have plans.
Which you get to keep
if we kill him first.
Kill an angel?
Hmm.
That's new.
Lucky for you, I like a challenge.
Tell me more.
[FANGS CLICK]
So why don't you just ask
your girl to get Uriel's sword?
As I hear it, they've got chemistry.
[SLURPING]
First of all,
Sarah is not my girl anymore.
Oh.
Secondly
chemistry?
I'm leaving that without comment.
And third,
it's just best to keep her
out of undead affairs.
Safer too.
Yeah, but Sarah cares about you.
She's gonna wanna help.
[CRUNCHING]
Not the point.
Telling her what's going on,
that's completely different
than involving her.
Yeah, I used to think that
with my girlfriend too.
Wait, you mean vampire girlfriend.
No, my human lover, Gemma.
Been, like, 20 years.
I have so many questions.
Yeah, well, keep them to yourself.
But what I will tell you is this.
I used to try and keep
my life with Gemma
and my vampire life separate.
Didn't work.
If I wanted to be with her,
and I did, I had to let her in.
It's the only way
I could truly be with her.
Well, circling back to the main point,
Sarah and I are just friends,
and I'm okay with that.
Mm-hmm.
Besides, who has time
for romance anyway?
The only grand gesture
that I'm planning
is killing Balestro.
It's the only thing that matters.
Okay, mastermind.
Whatever.
[CRUNCHING]
[ANGELA SIGHS CONTENTEDLY]
Thank you again for helping Claire.
It was very kind.
I did it for you.
And not for the first time.
You gave Nikki your sword
so that she could protect me
from a homicidal angel.
Also, like, why did he wanna kill me?
I told him I intended
to stay in this world.
He believed humans
were a corrupting influence.
He feared for my soul.
So you did it
to protect me from danger,
like a guardian angel.
The danger has passed.
Yes, but now my friends are in danger,
and they need protection.
Help them like you help me.
Give them your sword so that
they can save themselves from,
and I'm starting to see a pattern here,
another homicidal angel.
No.
This conflict is between
angels and vampires.
It doesn't concern you.
My friends' lives concern me.
Help me help them.
I am helping you.
Killing the divine doesn't come easily.
Killing Balestro is impossible.
I won't let you put yourself in danger.
Sarah, I'm not a guardian angel,
but that doesn't mean
I won't watch over you
in every way I can.

Stress much?
I asked Uriel for his sword.
Whoa, look at you, making moves.
So where is it?
Can't kill Balestro without that sword.
He wouldn't give it to me.
Uriel is very determined to
keep me "safe from harm," so
Yeah, there's a lot
of that going around.
Uriel just blew up Reginald's big plan.
That's what I'm afraid of.
[SIGHS] Not to worry.
Reginald will adapt.
Extreme pressure's when
he does his best work.
And if saving the
entire vampire species
from extinction doesn't qualify,
I really don't know what does.
Sounds like you admire him.
Bite your tongue twice.
Reginald's got
big brain game, all right?
We need it and we need him.

Trade secret.
Color me impressed.
I'm guessing that's not

I'm glad he didn't.

No, you didn't.
You fucking moron! We needed her.
She didn't give me a choice.
She didn't give one to you

Thank you!
It was me or Justine.
You gonna tell me
I made the wrong call too?

No, of course not.

you in the middle of this fight.

Trust me.

No, no.
The plan is still sound, okay?
We just gotta capture Balestro,

Yes.

to trap Balestro.
