01x10 - The White Violin

[bunniefuu]

Reggie.

Don't you look dapper?

Well, I thought it was right to buy
something special for the occasion.

As you requested.

I didn't realize
that you felt up to playing.

I don't.

I want you to take it with you.

No, my love.

Please.

Find someone...

who'll love it as much as I have.

I can't leave you.

There must be another way.

There isn't.

I will die here,

but you won't.

I won't allow it.

The world needs you, Reggie.

Now go.

We need to get to safety
outside the Academy.

[explosions echoing]

Don't forget Mom!

- Yeah...
- [expl*si*n rumbles]

[Luther] Pogo.

- I'm...
- [Pogo] Go!

Now!

[house crashing and rattling]

[high-pitched whistling]

[Luther] You got this. Come on, let's go.

[gasping]

To go on a mission, Vanya,
you have to have a power.

[rumbling]

- [blasting]
- [high-pitched whistling]

Vanya! What do you want?

[creaking]

- [sounds resonating]

Just get out!

[Klaus] Come on. Come on, come on. Diego!

[Reginald]
Stand up straight. Every one of you.

[young Vanya] Dad?

You forgot me.

I did not.

No smiles, eyes ahead.

- Quickly, now.
- [young Vanya] Dad!

Dad!

Dad!

[Reginald] No talking!

Stand still.

- [rumbling]
- [glass shattering]

[Pogo] Miss Vanya.

That's quite enough! [sighs]

Miss Vanya...

I understand how upset you are.

But I can assure you...

that none of your siblings
bear any responsibility

for what happened to you as a child.

Did you know?

Your father discovered...

that you were capable of great things.

Much like your brothers and sister.

But your powers were...

too great.

He only wanted to protect you
from yourself.

As well as your siblings.

[Vanya] Did...

you know?

[clicks tongue]

[sighs]

Yes, Miss Vanya.

I knew.

- Okay. Great.

sh*t. Mom. Mom!

- Mom! Get out of there now!
- Mom, get out of there! Mom!

- I'm coming after you!
- No, Diego!

- No!
- [expl*si*n blasts]

- [Diego] Please! Mom!

- [Klaus] Get back!

[Diego] Mom!

Mom!

Mom!

- Klaus, come here. Help me search.
- Diego.

- Just stop it. Stop.
- No, what... What are you...

- Let me go. What are you doing?
- Stop. Stop.

She's gone. She's...

She's gone, okay? She's...

What do you wanna do?
[stuttering] You wanna... wanna...

walk away from this?

- No.
- What about Pogo?

- Just...
- [Luther] He didn't make it.

- What?
- [sighs]

Vanya k*lled him.

- But Vanya wouldn't...
- No, I saw it.

[sighs] Just before we got out.

[Diego] Mom. Now Pogo.

[gasps]

[Five] Guys.

This is it. The apocalypse is still on.
The world ends today.

I thought you said it was over.

I was wrong, okay?

This newspaper, I found it in the future
the day I got stuck.

- The headline hasn't changed.
- No, that doesn't mean anything.

The time could've been altered
since that newspaper

- came out this morning.
- You're not listening to me.

When I found it, I assumed this place
came down along with everything else.

But here we are. The Moon's still shining,
the Earth is in one piece,

but not the Academy.

- [Klaus] I'm confused.
- Then listen to me, you idiot!

Vanya destroys the Academy
before the apocalypse.

[sighs] I thought Harold Jenkins
was the cause, but he was the fuse.

Vanya is the b*mb.

- Vanya causes the apocalypse.
- [helicopter blades whirring]

- [sirens wailing]
- We have to find her.

[Diego] We gotta go, now.

Regroup at the Super Star. Go!

[water bubbling]

[Handler] Look at the two of you.

Given a one-day assignment
to eliminate Number Five,

and instead, you k*ll a tow truck driver,
a cleaning lady, and a cop,

burn down two buildings,

and bring unwanted attention
on yourselves and the Commission.

What's worse is Five is still alive,

on the loose,
and trying to stop the apocalypse.

[with mouth full]
Makes us look like a g*ng

that can't sh**t straight.

Now, maybe I'm not seeing
the whole picture,

but I think...
and this, it's just a suggestion...

but I do think... [chuckles]
...an explanation of sorts is owing.

Five is not working alone.

He has backup.

His family.

You're saying that you both

are no match for a litter
of emotionally stunted siblings?

I think what Cha-Cha means is
there were certain un...

Hmm?

Unexpected consequences from said family

that required us
to deviate from the original plan.

[chuckles] You know,

we have an old saying at the Commission.

[speaking Yiddish]

Of course, neither of you speak Yiddish.

Fine. I'll translate.

It means "The eggs think
they're smarter than the chicken."

Do what you're told. Hmm?

Then we should have k*lled each other.

Come again?

Both of us was sent a message from you

to eliminate the other.

I never sent...

Oh.

[chuckles] Hm.

He's good.

He's good.

- Wait, I'm not following.
- Of course you're not.

I never sent those messages. Five did.

They're fake. To throw you off the scent.

Then you're not mad at us.

I'd like to believe that your commitment
to your partnership led to a strategic...

choice not to k*ll each other.

So, in the spirit of that partnership,

I'm giving you a new assignment,

one that's not open to interpretation
or discussion.

Protect Vanya Hargreeves...

at all costs.

- Then what?
- Then you, Hazel,

will be allowed to resign
from the Commission

and live out the remainder
of your days with...

doughnut lady here,

in the time period of your choosing.

Course, she'll remain under my protection

until your assignment is complete.

And what do I get?

A new partner.

Plus all prior offenses, fines,
and infractions

will be expunged from your record.

Failure to comply will result
in the termination of all parties.

Look, I hate to be the one to say this,
but everyone needs to prepare.

- For what?
- To do whatever it takes to stop Vanya.

I... [sighs]

- We may not have a choice, Allison.
- Bullshit.

- There's always options.
- Yeah, like what?

I don't know.

Look, whatever we decide,
we need to find Vanya.

And fast, okay? She could be anywhere.

Or... here.

Look at this.

[Diego]
That's right. Her concert is tonight.

Hello.

I hate to intrude, but my manager says
if you're not gonna bowl, you gotta leave.

[Diego] Whose turn is it?

Oh, for...

We're the only ones capable
of stopping this.

We have a responsibility to Dad.

To Dad? No, I've heard enough about...

He sacrificed everything
to bring us back together.

I'm with Luther on this one.

We can't give her a chance to fight back.

There are billions of lives at stake.
We're past trying to save just one.

Hey, you know, guys, uh...
maybe I could help.

- Now is not the time.
- No, let him finish.

He saved my life today.

Really?

- Is that true?
- Yeah, yeah, I did...

take credit for it.

In fact, the real hero...

was Ben.

[sighs] Today... Listen.

Today, he punched me in the face.

And earlier at the house,
he was the one who saved Diego's life,

not me.

- You are unbelievable, Klaus.
- [Klaus] You want proof, is that it?

All right. I... I'll give you proof.

[sniffs] All right, it's showtime, baby.

Catch!

[ball bouncing]

[ball crashes]

[Luther] Is there any way to silence
that voice in your head

that screams out
to be the center of attention?

You know, I liked you a lot better
before you got laid.

Which was a complete...

It... It wasn't his fault,
'cause he was ridiculously high, right?

And... And the girl,
she thought he was a furry...

- Stop!
- Okay.

Allison, wait.

[woman] Excuse me!

Excuse me,
it's my son Kenny's birthday today, and...

Uh... wouldn't your son be happier
playing with kids his own age?

Assuming it's okay with your two dads.

I would rather chew off my own foot.

[whooshing]

- [clunk]
- [woman] Let's go, Kenny.

[Diego] If I was going to date a man,
you'd be the last man I would date.

[Klaus] You'd be lucky to get me.

How the hell did she find me?

- May I?
- Please.

[sighs]

[beeping]

- She's good.
- [smashes]

[sighs] Jesus.

[chuckles softly]

All right. I'll be the first to admit...

things really got out of hand.

Punches were thrown. sh*ts were fired.

- But I'm willin' to forgive and forget.
- How very kind of you.

Look, the Handler was right.
We had a chance to k*ll each other.

We were ordered to k*ll each other.

And we didn't. That says somethin', right?

You're willin' to throw away
all that goodwill?

Doesn't matter.

The Handler's offer isn't real.

Of course it is.

Verbal agreements are binding.
Check the handbook.

We've caused way too much trouble.

You notice something's missing?

We don't have a briefcase.

She's leavin' us to die.

Look.

There's Vanya.

[Reginald] Your siblings may be
on this mission longer than usual.

So as you wait,

be prepared to do your studies alone.

Do you understand?

Very well.

My studies this evening pertain to music.

I wonder if I could borrow it.

Take it and go.

- It's beautiful, isn't it?
- [chuckles]

Yes, it is, Vanya.

I will learn to play it. [chuckles softly]

I am going to be extraordinary.

[Grace]
Put your whole heart into it, dear,

and I promise, one day, you will be.

[bell rings]

[motor idling]

Listen, we can't do this now.

I'm so sorry, I should never have slept
with that girl...

uh, woman.

Uh, look...

I had just found out that Dad
sent me to the Moon for nothing.

All right?

And I just felt so lost and alone.

Klaus wasn't lying, I got drunk.

I mean...

really drunk.

Plus the pills.

You know, 'cause it was a rave, and...
I'd never been to a rave before, and...

Well, they're...
they're pretty amazing, actually...

[dialing]

[line ringing]

[inaudible]

He... Hello?

- Hi, uh, Claire?
- [crying]

Uh, yeah, this is your Uncle Luther.

[Claire] Spaceboy!

Yeah, yeah, uh... Spaceboy.

I'm the one your mom
told you stories about.

Yeah, yeah, I know all about you, too.

[chuckles softly]

And you know, Claire, I've been wanting
to meet you since the day you were born.

Uh, well, uh... she's here, with me now,

and... she really wants to talk to you,
Claire.

But... But she can't, because... uh...

she has a sore throat, but, uh...

Your mom wants me to tell you, Claire,
uh, she... she says that she loves you

more than anything
in the whole wide world.

- And she...
- [whispers] No!

- [Luther] Oh, sh**t.
- [shuffling]

[whispers] Um... Where...

- [Allison crying softly]
- [Luther] Um...

Wait, wait. Hey. Hey.

Uh, your mom says...

She says...

"I miss you.

I miss you every day
that I'm not with you.

I know that I let you down,

but I would do anything for you.

You make me wanna wake up each day.

- And you're in my dreams every night.
- [whimpers]

You're the most important person
in the world to me."

That's, uh...

That's what your mom says.

Yeah. Yeah, I... I promise.

She'll be home soon.

Vanya's getting off.

- All right, where's Five?
- He left.

- Oh, for the love of... Where'd he go?
- Didn't tell us.

Well, we're not waiting around for him.
The concert starts in minutes.

- All right, so what's the plan?
- Well, I think that, uh...

We go to the Icarus Theater.

That's a location, not a plan.

What? Is that all you got?

Look, you wanna be Number One, fine,

but you're gonna have to get us
on the same page,

because right now,
we're all over the place.

You're right.

We need a plan.

No, I'm pretty sure they're here for us!

[Five] You must really like doughnuts.

[Agnes, muffled] Help me!

- [sighs]
- It's been a while.

- Three days.
- [Handler] For you, maybe.

But for me, it's been a lot longer

since I've seen
those adorable little shorts.

[Five] Well, you've had time to heal.

[Handler sighs]

Luckily, for both of us, time...

is the one thing my organization
has an abundance of.

Got your message, by the way.

Nice packaging,
but so much for Commission protocol.

[chuckles] There have been...

a lot of changes
since you left the Commission.

You really did some damage.

The briefcases were all but destroyed,

to say nothing of the...

highly trained personnel you k*lled.

After all,

- what is an institution if not for...
- What do you want?

To be happy.

To have a simple...

unfettered life, to...

do the work my superiors require.

But... your being here,

well, it complicates all that.

Billions of people
are about to die tonight.

[Agnes whimpers]

- You can change that.
- Tonight, tomorrow.

So little difference
in the scheme of things.

Don't you remember
the Commission's raison d'être?

What's meant to be is meant to be,
or, as I like to say, que será, será.

It's bullshit in any language.

Why did you call me here?

I wanna offer you a choice.

Everyone's going to die tonight, but...

unlike the rest of the world,

you have a way out.

You can abandon your family
and skip ahead to the apocalypse,

take a walkabout for a few decades,

wondering if I'll come back

and offer you a job again,

or you can stay here,

with your family, and...

die a horrible death. [laughs]

[Agnes whimpers]

- [cork pops loudly]
- While you weigh your options,

just know your siblings
are fighting for their lives without you.

[Five]
You brought me here to pull me away.

[Handler] It's been nice knowing you,
Five.

Cheers!

[audience applauds]

[cheering]

[playing somber melody]

[orchestra continues playing]

[Luther] Wha...

Allison, I can't let you do that,
all right?

- She's beyond reasoning.
- You hear the music?

It's started.

Do you honestly think she's gonna listen?

After everything that's happened?

[Klaus] We don't have time for this.

Okay.

You're using her as a distraction,
aren't you?

- Our best chance to incapacitate Vanya.
- Oh.

She'll thank us later.

- [Klaus] So, what's the plan?
- [Luther] Uh, you wait out front.

- What?
- Yeah, you're the lookout.

The lookout?

[shower running]

[door opens]

[Handler whistling]

- [water stops]
- [shower curtain rustles]

- [Agnes whimpering]
- [whistling continues]

Back so soon?

And here I thought you were the smart one.

How disappointing.

[yelps]

[g*n clatters]

I'm sorry you had to see that.

If you want to change your mind
about being with me,

I understand.

Everyone has a past.

- She's stronger than expected.
- Yeah.

Yeah. We're fine, thanks for asking.

Look, I almost lost you once, all right?
I wasn't about to lose you again.

Well, so much for the element
of surprise. What else you got?

No sh*t, Allison. Tell us something
we don't already know.

She's talking about the violin.

It's her lightning rod.

If we can take it from her

and stop her from playing,
we might have a sh*t.

[orchestra screaming]

What the hell happened to Klaus?
He's supposed to be on lookout.

- Yeah, you surprised?
- What's with all the lollygagging?

[Luther] Five, get down!

[gasps]

- [Klaus] I didn't ask for cilantro.
- Do you hear g*nf*re?

- What?
- [g*nf*re continues]

[Vanya continues playing]

Oh, sh*t!

[g*nf*re continues]

- This is it, mofo. Go time! Go time!
- [Ben] What about the g*nf*re?

[Klaus] Come on, man,
we're the damn lookouts!

Five, what the...
I thought you bailed on us!

I had an errand to run.

This is not good.

- You know these guys?
- Yeah, I do.

And?

Well... we're screwed.

- [yells]
- Guys, it's Cha-Cha!

- It's Cha-Cha, she...

[rumbling]

[choking]

[Five] Your girlfriend, Patch...

What did you like about her?

[Diego] She believed in people.

She always saw the good inside.

I'm sure she'll be proud to know
that you're k*lling Hazel and Cha-Cha

as a way to honor her memory.

[crying]

[violin music roars]

[rumbling]

Oh, welcome back. Where were you?

Honoring a memory.

So, how do you wanna end this thing?

[Luther] We surround her.

All right? We come at her from all angles.

So it's a su1c1de mission.

Yeah, but one of us could get through.
It's the only chance we've got.

- Are we all in?
- Yeah.

[Luther] All right.

Allison?

Stage left. Stage right.

You guys take the front.

[masonry cracking and groaning]

[glass smashing]

I'm sorry. There's no time, Allison.

If she finishes this concert,
the world goes up in flames.

[music swells]

Now!

[blasts]

[violin chords resonating]

[whooshes, blasts]

[cracking]

[Luther] Is she alive?

- [whispers] Yeah.
- She is? Yeah?

- Oh, thank God.
- [Luther] We did it. We saved the world.

[laughs]

[crying]

[explosions echoing]

[blasts]

[sighs] Oh, man.

Uh...

Guys?

You see that big Moon rock
coming towards us?

[Luther] That's not good.

So this is it, huh? So much for...

saving the world.

If only Sir Reginald could see us
right now, huh?

The Umbrella Academy.

A total failure.

At least we're together at the end.
As a family.

This doesn't have to be the end.

What? What are you saying, Five?

I think I have a way outta here.
But you gotta trust me on this.

- Yeah, I don't think so.
- No.

Well, then,
we might as well accept our fate,

because in less than a minute,
we're gonna be vaporized.

What's your idea, then?

We use my ability to time travel.

But this time, I'll take you with me.

- You can do that?
- I don't know. I've never tried it before.

What's the worst that can happen?

You're lookin' at it.
A -year-old man inside a child's body,

so there's that. [scoffs]

- Oh, what the hell? I'm in.
- Yeah, whatever. I'm in.

Me too. [sighs] Allison?

- What about Ben?
- Great, yeah, he's in.

Okay, great. Luther, grab Vanya.

[Luther] Wait, should we be taking her?

I mean,
if she's the cause of the apocalypse.

- Isn't that like taking the b*mb with us?
- The apocalypse will always happen

And Vanya will always be the cause,
unless we take her with us and fix her.
