01x03 - Episode 3

[bunniefuu]

[tense, mysterious
music playing]

All demon hunters
have to take an oath.

I swear to protect the
world from monsters,

no matter how big, or
gross, or scary they are.

I swear to protect...

Shh!

I think there's a demon outside.

[snarls]

[shrieking]

[snarls]

Mary, did you like the movie?

It was okay. Not
enough sh**ting.

I told you not to let her watch
any more of those sh**t-'em-ups.

I just can't help giving my only
daughter everything she desires.

[ominous music playing]

John, that man is staring at us.

I know. Walk faster.

[music intensifies]

Mary!

I swear to protect the
world from monsters.

Mary!

[demon snarling]

[train horn blaring]

[Mary's mother whimpers]

[officer] "A giant monster with a
face that opens in three pieces."

Ha. Sure, buddy. I'll get the
sketch artist right on it.

[officers laughing]

[officer] Oh, yeah.

[sighs]

[tense, plaintive music playing]

[loud clattering]

[Mary's mother] I spoke to the college.
You haven't been to work in weeks.

[John] This is my work.

Don't you understand that
what we saw means my research,

my theories about the
other realm, were right?

Your daughter never sees you
anymore! I never see you!

It's you that I'm
doing this for.

There are monsters
breaching our world,

and the authorities can
be relied on for nothing.

I need to find a way
to give myself power.

Real power.

So that I can
protect this family.

Like you protected
us in the subway?

John? John, I didn't mean that.

It doesn't matter
what you think of me.

All that matters is the strength to
defeat the darkness that threatens us.

Without that,

we have nothing.

[song trails off]

Yo, lady! Not to be
a backseat driver,

but I'm pretty sure this violates
the Geneva Convention or something.

[Mary] The Geneva Convention
only applies to humans.

I'm a human!

In your case, I think
the UN will understand.

This has got to be the
second-worst job you ever gave me.

Oh, you mean after
the Raccoon City job?

- Third-worst.
- Hmm.

[Patriot] Patriot for Arkham.

How're you liking those
new toys, Lieutenant?

[g*ns trill, hum]

Useful.

Although it would
have been more useful

if you gave me this
sh*t before the mission.

They're just a prototype
Goldstein whipped up in the lab.

Not approved for field use yet.

Uh, I got her other prototype
ready for you to test sometime too.

[Mary] Can't wait.

Sentry, King,
what's your status?

[Sentry] All good here.

- We're being the best decoys we can be.
- [King] Good here too.

Although I'm worried the doc's
head might explode from excitement.

The transmitter works precisely
as I theorized, of course.

It emits one half of a
quantum interference pattern.

The rest of the pattern comes
from the amulet's other piece.

So, if that thing is needed to destroy
the wall between us and the Demon Realm,

how about we smash it right now?

No!

Absolutely no smashing it!

The amulet's signal is actively
maintaining the quantum wall.

The natural state of the
two realms is to be joined.

If we destroy the transmitter,

we don't know what would happen to
the stability of either universe.

Not to mention what we stand
to gain from studying it.

The potential applications
in quantum computing alone…

Okay, okay, just asking.

Uh, guys, let's get back
to base in one piece

before we talk about possibly
destabilizing any universes.

[Dante straining]

[buckle twinkling]

I've been in tough
spots like this before.

The trick is not to
buckle under the pressure.

Hmm? Just give it up, Dante.

It's over!

Sure, they have their
boots on our necks,

but we need to buckle
down, and think positive.

Uh…

Ow!

What the…

- [buckle twinkles]
- Oh.

- [agent] How are the prisoners?
- A little too f*cking comfortable.

[machinery hums]

[both yelp]

[Anders yelping]

[Dante yelping]

What was that for?

Whoa! You gotta give me a warning
before you set off a flamethrower.

[Dante grunts]

If you, uh, don't
mind, Lieutenant.

So, do the fire jets come
standard on this model or…

I've been in the market
for a flamethrower myself.

Custom anti-demon upgrade.

If the Hellblood
somehow gets past those,

there's always the nano-expl*sive
I injected him with,

that's programmed to activate if he
gets outside of a one-mile radius.

Even that thing should
have trouble healing

from a b*mb going off
in its f*cking neck.

Damn! Yo, I'd hate to see
what you did to a full demon.

Not to question your
methods. At all.

Don't tell me you have
a weak stomach, Anders.

I'd have thought you'd
be rock hard for revenge

after what the White
Rabbit did to your team.

I… I'm just trying to
make it home. You know?

Hmm.

That's… unexpected.

Something wrong?

Not necessarily. It appears the pattern
coming from the transmitter is changing.

Modulating itself
for some reason.

- You sure they cleared you for action?
- [haltingly] Oh, yeah.

I'm good, Lieutenant.
Solid. A-1.

Lieutenant Arkham, this
is Baines. Report in.

We're rolling smoothly, sir.
Should be home in under an hour.

Good. With the fate of
Heaven and Earth at stake,

there's no one else
I would count on.

- Patch me through to the prisoner.
- Sir?

I want to speak with
him. He interests me.

- Dante.
- [Dante yelps]

This is Vice President
William Baines.

The Vice President? You
mean, like, from TV?

Boy, am I starting to
regret voting for this guy.

I saw the footage from the
raid on your apartment.

Your abilities are
truly a remarkable gift.

Lieutenant Arkham tells
me you're part demon.

[Dante] She's wrong.

Yeah, I've got abilities.

Maybe not exactly human
ones, but they're…

I don't know, some sort
of superhero mutations.

Look, there's no part
of me that's demon.

There can't be.

[Baines] Your mother
and your brother,

they were both k*lled by
demons, is that right?

Yes.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. We all have dead
families and traumatic childhoods.

What? You think I talked?

[laughing]

Okay, I talked,

but you should have seen
what they did to me!

[Baines] What about
your father, Dante?

Couldn't tell you.
I never met him.

I see.

There is demon blood in
you, that much is certain.

You were born with a
black stain on your soul.

But none of us are
beyond God's light.

He may still see fit
to cleanse that stain,

should you prove
yourself worthy of it.

Sir, with all due respect,
you're wasting your time.

It doesn't matter how much of
the demon's blood is unholy.

Any is enough to
make it a demon.

Your passion is
your strength, Mary.

But don't allow it to blind you.

Winning this w*r will take more
than anything human can provide.

You've seen Dante's raw power.

Imagine what that type of asset
could do, if used correctly.

You want to use this thing? Has
the president approved that?

All the president cares about
is maintaining his image.

I set the policies.

I bring the donors. He
approves what I tell him to.

The Lord would not have sent us such a
powerful instrument to enact his will,

if he did not intend
for us to use it.

[officer blows whistle]

Road's closed.

Looks like we're
taking a detour.

[gasps]

[blows whistle]

I'll go check it out.

That's it. That's what's
causing the modulation.

The signal adjusts in response

to the other transmitter's
geospatial location

to keep the overall
pattern in sync.

So the other amulet
piece must be…

[computer beeping]

…getting closer.

We stopped!

This is our shot!

Hurry up with that thing!

[Dante] It's almost…

[Mary] I figured
you out, Hellblood.

Do you really think this whole
jabbering moron act was going to work?

Uh, maybe. What act
are you talking about?

[Mary] The one where you
don't know you're a demon?

You just happen to
be walking around

with half the key to
f*cking Hell on your neck?

The key to Hell? [chuckles]
Whoa, whoa, whoa.

I think you've all got the
wrong necklace. Seriously.

It's just some old family
heirloom my mom gave me.

[beeping rapidly]

[all grunting]

What happened?

- [car horns blaring]
- [passersby clamoring]

Whoever is left, protect
the amulet. That's an order.

Protect it with your lives.

We've got nothing.

Did anyone else make it?

We're clear.

But there's no
way to get to you.

[Mary coughing]

Are you okay?

[groans] I think…

my leg's stuck.

- Not anymore.
- f*ck!

What is this? Are
we getting rescued?

Can you think of anyone who'd
want to rescue either one of us?

We ain't getting rescued!

[uneasy music playing]

Give it to me, I can protect it.

It's the Rabbit!

Does anyone have eyes on it?

I have this area secure.

[menacing voice] Do you now?

Somehow, I truly doubt that.

[forceful, dramatic
rock music playing]

Hey, demons! Big mistake!

My boy Dante here is going
to whoop all your asses!

What are you doing? [sputtering]

Just one second!

So, you want to
surrender individually,

or all at once?

End her.

[White Rabbit] A
sincere "thank you"

to you all and the government of
these United States of the Earth realm

for picking up the rest
of my amulet for me!

[thump]

God bless America!

[tauntingly] Hmm. Hmm.

Oh, sh*t! Our b*ll*ts
don't affect him!

[Sentry] His DNA is different!

A new evolution!

King!

[somber choral music playing]

What happened? Get them back!

Get them back!

[agent] Sir, Air Force
Two is on the runway.

We need to get you to a secure
location right now, sir.

[distressing music playing]

Wow! And by my own brother!

What? It's not my fault
you just stood there!

Get your sh*t together!

What use are any of us to the cause
if we can't k*ll one little girl?

[shapeshifter] I don't know.

Looks like she pruned
you pretty good.

None of this would be necessary if you'd
got the amulet when you were supposed to.

And your rogue attempt to
fix it nearly exposed us.

We will watch your blood drain

for our leader.

Where is your leader?

[White Rabbit] Hello, Anders.

I see my improvements to your
face are settling in nicely.

No! No! What are you doing?

I had to! He got
to my daughters.

And now he's going to
destroy the whole world!

You've condemned us all!

What good is saving the world
if I can't save my own family?

[energy crackling]

[White Rabbit bellowing]

f*ck was that?

The amulet.

He did it.

[distressing choral
music intensifies]

[Dante straining]

You have the amulet and the
sword, transmitter and decoder.

Why… Why aren't you using them?

Why not open the
rift, here and now?

[sighs dramatically]

Shame. I really had higher
hopes for you, Doctor.

You're still missing a piece.

It needs some kind of…

Uh… Uh…

Decryption key.

There it is.

That sharp mind
I've heard about.

Sadly limited by its service
to your master's profits.

You're going to thank me
when the wall comes down.

Then you'll see what
true freedom looks like.

[blade rasps]

[Anders yelping]

Let's make this convincing.

Not again!

[Anders wails]

[White Rabbit hums jauntily]

[wheezes hoarsely]

[grunts, pants]

No one said the apocalypse
would come easy.

[Dr. Fisher] Hey, Rabbit!

Hop your way out of this!

[muffled expl*si*n]

See? Told you
there was a rabbit!

Hey, don't his necklace look
kind of like your necklace,

but with the other half of it?

[Dante straining]

- [beeping]
- [Dante gasps]

Whoa! I… I'm stronger
than I thought.

[tense industrial music playing]

[children cheering]

That's my boy! [laughs]

Ta-ta! Have to run.

[winged demon] We go now.

Bloody hell. Just when
I was about to k*ll her.

Just when you were
about to k*ll her?

Just when I was
about to k*ll her!

[engine revs]

I'll get it back,
Mom. I promise.
