02x21 - 02x21 - King's Tide

[bunniefuu]

[Collector] But...
But you said.

You said you'd let me out.

- I hate it here!
- [Belos] Just a little longer.

We have to wait
till after the Draining Spell.

You better not be fibbin'.

You pinky-swore me.

Patience, Collector.
You can trust me.

[scoffs]

Hmm? Who's there?

What? [panting]

It's okay, King.
It's okay.

[chirping]
[squeaking]

I know how to fly a ship.

Then fly faster.

We're barely halfway there.

Luz could be in trouble.

Maybe if I took the wheel...

Very eager to return to Belos,
eh, Golden Guard?

At least I never
built him an army!

Watch your tone
with me, young man.

Whoa!

Hey, here's
a bright idea:

Don't distract
the pilot.

He started it!
Everything that happened...

How is it that I'm the youngest here...
Can't believe...

[chattering]

I can't believe she's going to face
Belos alone again.

And I'm powerless
to help her.

We can't even
manage to help each other.

[chirps]

[chattering continues]

[chirping]

[meows]
[squeaks]

[chirps]

[stomach growls]

Look, we're
all exhausted and terrified.

Let's focus
our energy on helping Luz

instead of
fighting each other.

[shivers]

[blows]

Hmm? Aw, this is
just like when I was a kid.

Wait. Is this why
you call me "Mittens"?

That was amazing!

There's always
a way to help.

You just have to
look for the right opportunity.

Thanks, Willow.
I'll...

[yawns]
...remember that.

[drums b*ating]

[crowd cheering]

[all gasp]

[cheering, applause]

Children of the Isles,
for too long

our world has been home
to an insidious pox.

A corruption that defiles
the Titan's blessings.

But today
that changes.

United with the Titan
and the power of the eclipse,

we shall wipe out
wild magic forever.

Paradise awaits.

[grunts]

[both inhale sharply, sigh]

Whoo!

That last stretch
was a long one.

Hey,
pay attention.

The other Coven Heads
think they're gonna be royalty after today.

And they'll do anything
to make that happen.

The cloaking stone
won't cover your voice,

so make sure
not to speak.

Also...
The curse will do its thing.

I got this, Rainstorm.
Don't worry.

Don't.

Don't tell me
not to worry.

Edalyn, please
be careful!

If you need help,
just, uh, flap your arms.

Or scream
real loud!

Or... Or...

Don't worry, Lily.

With this spell declared,
promise I'll be back.

That's not a spell.
Doesn't even rhyme.

Oh! I forgot to mention
I decided to switch up the arrangement.

[gasps, growls]

Don't say a word
about my appearance.

I will not
be taking notes at this time.

Hello, sprout.

[gulps]

[drums b*ating]

Goodbye, Boiling Isles.

[sigils humming]

[crowd gasps]

[humming]

We did it!
It's done! It's done!

Now you can set me
free and we can play new games!

I'm afraid
that's impossible.

Uh, excuse
a what now?

B-But you said you'd
use the Titan blood to help free me.

And I'm sorry,
but I just realized

I only have enough
Titan's blood to open the portal.

But you said
we were friends!

W-We pinky-swore!

You lied!

Liar! Liar! Liar!
Liar! Liar! Liar!

Liar!

Emperor, congratulations
on this momentous day.

I come bearing a gift.

You had been looking
for the Golden Guard, and here he is!

Perhaps this act is worthy of returning
me to my old post.

Or if you're looking
for a new right hand...

Have you as
my right hand?

I'd sooner cut off
my whole arm.

But, uh, I just
want to help.

- [Belos] You want to help?
- [Collector shouts]

[Kikimora screams]

Go find a hole
to wither away in.

And you...

I gave you
the Draining Spell.

I taught you magic
stronger than anybody's.

And that's why
I won't release you.

Can't have you
giving that to anyone else.

Goodbye.
[screams]

[Collector] You're a liar,
liar, pants on fire!

Of course she'd mess up
such a simple task.

But I am glad to see you,
my fellow human.

What?
No fight left?

Or did you learn
your lesson from last time?

You wish.

[inhales sharply]

Spicy toss!

Of course not.

[humming]

[both sigils humming]

[scout] Your ship has been
reported stolen.

Land immediately!

[sighs] Mom.

[cawing]

Don't be fooled.
Take 'em down!

Uh... Whoa!

[grunts]

[grunting]

[screams]

[chirps]

Why did I make
those things so powerful?

Stupid Alador.
Stupid!

[grunts]

Fire!

[all screaming]

[crowd cheering]

[both gasp]

[humming]

[humming fades]

What?
[humming fades]

It's getting weaker.

Mmm.

Looks like
my suspicions were correct.

Graye,
if you'd please.

Gladly. I love
a good twist.

Hey!

[snarls]

[grunts]

[screaming]

Oh, for Titan's sake.

[snarling]

[shouts]

[Eberwolf yowls]
Huh?

[snarling]

[electricity crackling]

You too, Darius?

Did you really think
you'd get away with this?

No. No, no, no.
No, no, no!

Raine! [groans]

[sighs] Oh, you are making
a big mistake!

My only mistake was
letting you two live all those years ago.

[grunts]

Raine!

Eda! [shouts]

[cackles]

Hello, paradise!

[shouts]

[sigils humming]
[all gasp]

[humming intensifies]

[shouts, grunts]

I didn't realize
you're already combining glyphs.

You do have a strange
intuition with these.

It took me years
to figure that out.

Almost like
the Titan himself

didn't want me to
have that knowledge.

Though you're still
decades away from b*ating me.

[grunts, screams]

Eat dirt, Belos!

It's Philip.

And despite our differences,
I want to help you, Luz.

I can send you home.

I have just enough Titan blood
for one more trip.

Please. I don't want to see
another human life destroyed by this place.

You're such
a hypocrite.

You talk big about
protecting humanity,

but after everything
you've done, you're barely human yourself.

I do pity you.

These monsters have warped
your sense of reality.

Perhaps it'd be merciful
to put you out of your misery.

[grunts] Wait.

Wait, wait, wait!

You... You can't!
You...

Y-You do realize you've been gone
from the human realm

for centuries.

Times have changed.
You wanna be known

as the Emperor of
the Witch Hunters, right?

Witch Hunter General.

Sure, sure.

Uh, Witch
Hunter General.

But those aren't really
a thing anymore.

No one's gonna
take you seriously

if you start ranting about
the demon realm.

Not to mention
a fashion sense like that.

Yikes, my dude.

[screams, grunts]

[sighs]

[Belos chuckles]

So, what?

You're offering to be
my modern-day guide?

I'm not offering anything.

But I do wanna
make a deal.

I can't b*at you.
I know that.

So I will return
to the human realm

and I will be your guide.

If you spare my friends.

[scoffs]

Come on.

You'll need living proof
that this realm exists.

You'd do anything
to save humanity.

Well, I'd do anything
to save the people I love.

Please.

Philip.

[gasps]

Fine.

Then shake on it.
Human style.

[chuckles]

[sigil humming]
[shouts]

[sighs]

[gasps]

Huh?
[humming]

No.
We're too late.

[whimpers]

What is happening?

Raine, Belos
is giving us paradise, right?

[groaning]

[all screaming]

[grunting]

You'll never make it
out of here

unless you stop
the Draining Spell right now.

[groans]

I said stop it!

[snarls]

[muffled groans]

Oh, my head.
Willow, you okay?

Come on.
I'll help you up.

Dad. Dad!
Dad, are you...

Take this.
Dad, no.

We're not gonna leave you.

Amity, come on.
We can't stay.

[Hunter]
We have to go.

King. King,
are you okay?

Darius? Darius?
Darius, wake up! Wake up!

Eda! I got her!

She's not waking up!

We have to get
to the head.

Luz could be
in trouble.

[groaning]

Okay. I-I know
you're mad,

but you can still
fix things.

Just stop the spell.

[roars]

[shouting]

[electricity crackling]

The door! Watch the door.
[shouts]

[inhales sharply]

[roars]

Over here!

[growls]

[panting]

[snarls]

We don't belong here.

I'm not like you!

[roars]

[thuds]

We're here to help.

Did you really think
we wouldn't follow you?

Yeah, girl.
Get with it.

You guys are
literally the coolest.

[snarling] We have to get him to
stop the Draining Spell,

but he's
all berserk mad!

[snarling]

[rumbling]

Luz!

Buddy, it's about to get real scary.
You stay here.

But I can help.

[rumbling continues]

[roars]

- Gus!
- On my way!

[Belos roaring]

[grunting]

Huh?

[snarling, roaring]

It's pointless.

Belos can't stop the spell
any more than they can.

Only the Collector
has that power.

Who is
the Collector?

Neither witch nor demon.
A child from the stars.

Belos only talked to him
when he thought no one was around,

but I was always listening.

Belos was
afraid of him.

An opportunity.

Take me to him!

If that means kicking
the Emperor's butt,

gladly.

All right, Belos.
Time to calm down a little.

[snarling]

[shrieks]

[growls]

[roaring]

Hunter, why are you
hurting me?

I only wanted
to help you.

You're... You're lying!

k*ll him!

[roars]

What is this place?

Where the failures
end up.

Leave me alone!

I don't associate
with fibbers.

[raspberry]

Wait. I know someone's there.
I can feel it.

But why
can't I see you?

[gasps]

You look like that bully
who put me in here.

No way. Are you
his little Titan baby?

I've always wanted
to play with you!

But your dumb pops
hid you.

Hey, do you like hide-and-seek?

I'll hide first!

Wait, wait!
Mr. Collector.

Please. We need you
to stop this Draining Spell.

Mister? [sighs]

You are so boring.

Well, you know what's better
than hide-and-seek?

A game called "The,"
uh, "The Owl House."

Ooh, how do you play?

Oh, it's so fun.
Like, the most fun.

And I could show you
if you want.

We're gonna need
a lot of players.

Like, a whole island's
worth of players,

but, uh...
[groans]

Aw, shucks.

What's wrong?

Well, gee,
everyone's gonna perish

from this ding-dang
Draining Spell.

Guess we can't play
that awesome game after all.

Man,
it was fun though.

Wait, if you're a Titan,
you can let me out.

I can stop the spell.
And we could play together!

Golly!
You'd do that?

Wait. You're not tricking me
into doing your chores like Philip, are you?

I would never!

Pinky-swear.

[laughs]

[thud]
[snarling]

I'll even let you out
right now.

What do I need to do?
Do-Do-Do you need my blood?

No, silly.

Just follow my lead.

Amity!
[grunts]

[roars]

[glass shattering]

[Eda gasps]

[groaning]

Raine?

I promised a special kid
I'd protect you.

[grunts]

Raine!

[glass cracks]

[all panting]

[all grunt]

Whatcha playing?

Collector?

You're free.
Just as promised.

As promised? I remember
someone throwing me off a bridge.

I'm not angry though.
Say, you wanna play tag?

I'm it.

[laughs] Too slow.

You guys look
slow too.

Do you need
a head start?

Whoa, whoa, Collector!
Buddy, pal.

King!

Remember what
we talked about?

You gotta help
all my friends outside,

or, uh, we won't get
to play Owl House.

Uh, Owl House.
Uh, gosh.

[chuckles]
I love that game.

The memories last
a lifetime.

I play it every day.

I play it every hour.

[squeaks]

I'll explain
the rules later,

but remember,
we need lots of players.

[humming]
[groans]

Hmm. Okay.

Boop.

[humming stops]

[all groaning]
Huh?

Hmm.

[chuckles] If we're
gonna play Owl House,

we're gonna need
an Owl House!

[rumbling]

Boop!

We're gonna have a blast,
everyone!

[rumbling continues]

[gasps]

I think there's a way out.

Luz, come on!

[sighs] Everyone. Eda.
I-I can't just leave them.

Luz, please.

Hunter!

[crackling]

[cracking]

[all panting]

[thunder rumbling]

It's human rain.
It's okay.

Luz?

Luz,
what are you doing?

[Luz grunts]

I-I have to get Eda.

We'll find a way
back to you.

Go! Go, go, go!
I-I can't hold the portal much longer.

[grunts, screams]
King!

King, you promised
you'd play with me!

You pinky-swore!

[both groan]

Luz!

We gotta
stick together.

I'm sorry.
Not this time.

But I can keep you safe.

No!

Luz, I'm so happy
I had you as a big sister.

[inhales sharply]

[screams]

No! King!

[door creaks]

[door creaking]

[thunder rumbling]

[Gus crying]

[knocking]

[gasps]

Hey, Mom.
I'm back.

[thunder rumbling]
