[bunniefuu]

[soft gentle music playing]

[Jason] Okay, and another one over here.

That looks beautiful.

One more of these.

[young Pauline]

First pink and then yellow.

[soft knocking]

[woman whispers]

Jason, I have the supplies.

Let's prepare her for another injection.

[woman] Alright.

[sinister sound gradually intensifies]

[young Pauline screams]

[Pauline gasps]

"SUNNYSIDE" 1996, FROM LEFT TO RIGH

DREIBACH, LIV

JASON ALCESTE, NOAH

[door slams]

[man] I want no part in this nonsense.

It's against my principles.

Angels and demons aren't supposed

to work together.

Th-- Th- Th- The last time they did,

the entire Roman Empire collapsed.

It cost us thousands of years of progress.

Those assholes have no damn place here,

and that's exactly what I'll tell her!

[woman] You should mind your words, Caius!

[Caius] You know I've got strong

arguments. Where are they, anyway?

[woman] In the common room.

[Caius] If I find one of those douchebags

sitting in my favorite spot, I'll lose it!

[woman] Take it down a notch.

[Eira] In order to change things,

one must sometimes take unlikely measures,

however daunting they may appear.

We all share a common goal.

If we want to get that thing

out of Pauline once and for all,

without hurting her in any way,

we must find a way to trust each other.

[door slams]

Eira, wake up!

They are not to be trusted.

That's the son of the devil,

and his-- I- I don't know who that is.

Tammo Pest. [sighs] Head of Mythology

and a bit of clergy work. Hello.

I can't believe you let them

into our house. They're the bad guys.

Yeah, um, actually, historically speaking,

this whole good/bad, angel/devil framing

is your doing.

I personally prefer non-judgmental terms

like chaos and control.

Positive and negative energy also works.

Although there's a hint of prejudice--

[muted mouthing]

[Peri] In principle, Caius is right.

You're aware

that the entire universe

[Lukas] I don't give a sh*t.

Give him his voice back.

Or what?

[muted mouthing]

Do you realize what'll happen

if you don't sit back down?

If you don't,

none of you will get out of here alive.

[both groan]

[Pauline gasps]

[Caius] You have no say in this.

What happens at Sunnyside

is our decision and ours alone.

[magical tinkling sound]

[Eira] Release him.

[floorboards creaks]

[Lukas groans] Hey.

[clears his throat]

[Tammo] Thank you.

Before anyone decides anything,

I have a couple of questions.

[intro song playing]

[Eira] I understand

that this can be a little overwhelming.

But we don't want to keep any secrets

from you. The thing is

- your--

- May I explain it to her?

Sure.

[sighs]

Okay, so

We need to talk about your dad.

It's all a bit more complicated

than we thought.

Far more uh complicated.

Yes. Far more complicated.

Your dad w- was

Your father was an angel.

Yeah.

[whispering] By the way,

they're all angels. So be careful.

I but I mean uhm

My fath-- Why was--

As far as I know,

angels don't just die in the basement.

[sighs] My

My brother k*lled your dad, Pauline.

[menacing whispers and growls]

[stammers] I- I only found out yesterday,

when I was here.

And when I got back,

you were already talking to Lilith.

I really didn't know!

Hey, I'm risking my life for you!

[in a whimpering voice] Not just yours.

Let me handle this.

[thunder rumbles]

[door opens and closes]

[Eira] Hm

[sighs]

That was a lot to take in, wasn't it?

Normally, I'd be the last person

to defend a demon.

But Lukas wasn't lying.

He really didn't know.

I don't know if you noticed, he's not

a particularly well-informed demon.

[chuckles]

Your dad, on the other hand, knew

pretty much everything about the universe.

Especially about the fragile equilibrium

that we've all been striving to maintain

for a very long time now.

He used to protect the interdimensional

portal under your house for us,

until Lukas' brother

decided to stop following the rules.

Please sit down.

When you were born,

we were all quite taken aback.

The idea of a half-angel

was absolutely unthinkable.

I don't think Jason ever forgave me

for what I did to you when you were a kid.

The tests.

[sinister ambient music playing]

[Eira] I know, that was all very scary

to you back then. I'm sorry.

But we had to make sure, we had to check.

You were supposed to grow up like a normal

human being, your father insisted.

We had to make sure that you

had no powers that

were dangerous to this world.

That's why it's so crucial that we stop

that thing in your womb.

I don't know

if it's any consolation to you,

but what your father did three years ago

was a great service to us all.

There's always an equal number

of demons and angels on earth.

But Lukas' brother Samuel

wanted to use the portal

to bring more demons

into this dimension.

so that he could create

an unstoppable army.

[otherworldly scream]

[Eira] Jason prevented this from happening

and made sure

the equilibrium was maintained.

Jason was a hero.

And I'll be forever grateful to him.

Now you know the truth.

And if you still want our help,

we'll be here.

We won't force you to do anything.

This is your decision to make.

[wind rustling]

[young Pauline] Do you know how many stars

there are in the universe?

A septillion.

That's a one and 42 zeros.

- Hm Yep.

- Crazy, right?

And that's without factoring in

the multiverse.

The multiverse was only invented so that

Marvel actors could be replaced easily.

Tomorrow we're getting

a clear, starry night sky.

We'll be able to get a good look

at the Pleiades.

You know I got work, kiddo.

Can't you just call

a repairman or something?

[Jason grunts]

It's not that simple.

You're a janitor.

Can't be that complicated.

[crickets chirping]

[fire crackling]

Can you promise me something?

As soon as you finish school, you pack

your things and leave this town. Okay?

Are you trying to get rid of me?

You could study abroad, right?

That would be awesome.

But I don't want to leave.

I want to be with you and Mom.

Hey, honey. You'll always be

a part of our lives, I promise.

But if you stay here,

your life will be decided for you.

If you go somewhere else,

you can make your own choices.

Okay. Then why don't we move as a family?

[sighs]

Let me guess, it's not that simple?

Well, I think you should give

the multiverse another chance.

I mean, three Spider-Men in one movie,

pretty cool, isn't it?

To be honest, I believe

there's only one true Spider-Man.

- Toby Magui--

- Tom Holland.

- Wow.

- [laughs]

Oh c'mon you know I'm right.

You're just old.

Oh man, poor Andrew Garfield.

But I still don't believe

in the multiverse.

I think you'd be surprised

if you knew what else is out there.

[wind rustling]

[Tammo] If I got this right,

your exorcism method is based

on the writings of Adso de Montier-en-Der.

- I've prepared a sketch, so to speak.

[Caius] Uh, nice

It's from one of our books. [chuckles]

That's a bit um I thought I'd go

for something more polished.

But um well, it's the same idea.

- Uhm We'll use

[Tammo] Uhm A bit much, but

of one of our rituals

and a special potion.

A- A very special brew. Well,

it's basically a-- a poison.

- [Tammo] Okay, but did you have to uh--

- And how safe is this?

Oh, it's f*cking dangerous.

That's why the ritual.

And it works better

if there are no stupid demons around.

[Eira] Caius is right.

The ritual is dangerous, very much so.

I think it might be better if you left.

[Lukas scoffs]

We should avoid putting Pauline

under any undue emotional stress.

No, no, no, no. We don't even know

Pauline's decision yet.

I know we're supposed to trust

one another.

but I'm not leaving you alone

with Pauline.

[door opens]

- I'm in.

- And you're certain?

I am.

[footsteps approaching]

Sometimes I feel like it's a shame

I can't read your mind anymore.

Thanks again for bringing me here.

I know how dangerous this is for you.

Sure. I mean, I'm the worst demon ever.

And I don't think I would've been

a very good

um father. I mean, there were times

when I didn't think that we are

that you would ever get rid of that thing.

I think you should probably leave now.

They'll take care of me, and

I really should focus right now.

My presence could make you feel nervous.

I'll just take that as a compliment.

But maybe I could pick you up tomorrow?

I know it's not your fault.

Really, I do know that.

But your brother m*rder*d my dad.

And that's not exactly a great setup

for a love story.

[sighs]

[sad melancholic tune playing]

- [Tammo] Where are you?

- Tammo? We uhm

We're not staying after all.

Yes, I know. But it's for the best.

We just have to find

another safe place away from Lilith.

Could you meet me outside?

[melancholic ethereal music playing]

[cogs clanking]

[worker 1] Why can't we work outdoors

anyway?

[worker 2] Well, you know,

one hell of a job, huh?

[worker 1] Yep,

I've heard that one before.

[phone unlocks]

[worker 1] Do you have your helmet?

[worker 2] Of course.

[phone camera clicks]

[worker 1] Okay, let's go

Safety first. German demons, jeez.

[worker 2] nice shoes you got here.

[worker 1] Do you have to say it?

[worker 2] C'mon, we've got to focus.

[alternative rock song playing]

[wind whirling mysteriously]

[car doors closing]

[Tony breathing frantically]

[woman] I have no idea how we're supposed

to get him down in one piece.

Do you have a rope?

[kidnapped man whimpering]

[metal rattling]

Why did he suddenly wake up?

[frantic struggle sounds]

[kidnapped man whimpering]

[loud thud and car alarm blaring]

[Malorie laughs]

[Malorie] Oh, you poor idiot!

We've got fences!

Be careful, there's a hole!

Stop! Don't fall in!

[kidnapped man screams]

[Tony breathes nervously]

[thud]

[screams] Nooo!

I can't believe this!

That was such a top-quality body!

Great BMI, wonderful hair, great teeth!

God damn it!

Why are you just standing here?

Go find another body!

Or Lilith will k*ll--

[soft snoring]

[Tony whispers] Mike!

[in a sleepy voice] Tony?

Wait, weren't you staying

at Pauli's place tonight?

Is she doing alright?

How is she feeling after the ab*rtion?

[Tony sighs]

I need your advice.

[Mike groans and sighs]

The guy who got Pauli pregnant

His- His mother I mean, he's

He runs a cult.

It's, like, a doomsday cult.

The thing is, they don't just try

to foresee--

The doomsday, they actually--

want to bring it about.

- And And they k*ll people--

- And you believe that sh*t?

Ever since we met, your life's mission

is to stop the end of the world.

I'm used to it, more or less. [kiss]

But do me a favor, yeah?

Try and save the world before the weekend.

We have tickets

to the Dolly Parton's farewell tour.

If I have to go on my own

I'm breaking up with you.

[Mike sighs]

Doomsday cult

[rumbling sound]

[Tammo] So

Cheer up! Consider yourself lucky,

because your friend is well-prepared

for a situation like this.

I have more than 200 hours

of classic rock mixtapes,

and more than enough food, so

Huh! I've had a feeling

that this wasn't gonna end well.

I knew from the moment Lilith

chose Samuel as her successor Nope!

He had no respect for the equilibrium

of things, no respect for the rules.

Nope, not that one either!

Mmm Although

Huh? Huh? Oh.

This helps against heartache.

I think I should start labeling these.

Back in my vicarage, I've got a nice

Pen?

[Tammo sighs] Label maker.

TASER 7

Oh, yes. Hm

And if she does send her minions

These things aren't gonna save us,

but at least they can buy us some time.

Catch!

[sentimental music fades out]

[loud thud]

[sinister sounds]

[Jason] You have no idea what's out there.

How can you make the right decision?

[Tony] You didn't tell me where you were!

You only think of yourself!

[Eira] Your father died for us.

Are you ready?

[Antichrist] Come!

Give it to me!

[Lukas] Pauline?

[sinister growl]

[gasps]

[faint gasp]

Well? Were you dreaming?

I was reading The Hammer of Witches,

and I know for sure

you're up to something here.

So don't think that I'll buy any bullshit

you come up with.

[Pauline] You're right.

Today is Walpurgis Night.

There you go.

And when will you be done?

[Pauline] Um, tonight?

Tomorrow morning tops.

[Britta] Fine,

you do your stupid witch stuff,

but if you touch my things,

I'm gonna k*ll you. I'm being serious.

Wait a minute.

[Pauline clears her throat]

Uhm About what happened between us

over the last few weeks I'm sorry.

It was nothing personal.

I just have a really, really big problem,

and Eira is helping me fix everything.

Tomorrow my life will be back to normal

and I'll be out of yours.

Can I just use your phone real quick?

Are you serious?

You broke my phone,

I'm using an old one, did you forget?

Yeah can I? Just for a minute,

I wanna let Tony know I'm okay.

He doesn't know where I am,

and he goes crazy

when he worries about someone

- I don't have Tony's number.

- I know it by heart.

Thanks.

Nobody knows phone numbers by heart.

Other than their own.

[phone keyboard clicking fast]

Sorry.

- Oh, Britta?

[Britta] Eira.

Where are you going?

I just wanted to let Pauline know

that from now on

she'll have the room to herself.

- Hm

- I'll stay at a friend's place.

[Eira] Good idea.

[Britta] And Pauline told her best friend

to come over, so I'd be in the way.

[Eira] Hm

Hm Great. [chuckles]

A guest.

[Pauline laughs]

[Tony] Oh, I'm so glad you're okay.

Crazy. And then everything

will be back to normal?

Like No more superpowers and

- Hm-mhm.

- [sighs] And and when?

Tonight. I'll finally get rid

of this thing for good. [laughs]

Who would have thought that angels

would help me get an ab*rtion?

And what do we do about this?

They're digging a deep hole down there.

You went down there on your own?

Are you insane?

Pauli, they m*rder*d a person.

I saw it with my own eyes.

We can't just do nothing.

Are you for real?

Lilith and her demons are doing

some crazy sh*t under your house.

You get superpowers.

It's not a coincidence.

I don't care if it is!

I just want everything

to go back to normal!

I'm not saying you should keep it!

- So what are you saying?

- Put it off for a bit.

They're trying to open a gateway to hell

right on our doorstep!

Just think how dangerous that could be

for our friends, our families!

We can't just run away from it.

We have a responsibility.

We? No one told me you were pregnant.

[scoffs]

It was stupid of me to think that

I could count on you even for a minute.

I'll do it on myself then.

- No, you won't, Tony!

- Sure, I will. Because I care!

Tony!

[gasps]

When I was eight years old,

I tried to walk across a frozen lake.

A few other kids were there, and

I wanted them to think that I was brave.

But the ice suddenly broke under me.

[ice cracking sound]

[whimpers]

Then there was a hand. It grabbed me.

He saved my life, and then he died.

[water splashing]

Of hypothermia. Of hypothermia.

Of hypothermia. Of hypothermia.

Of

[high pitch white noise]

Tony I'm sorry.

I didn't mean to do that. Ton Please

[Tony breathes shakily]

[sobs]

[loud noise]

[Lukas] What was that?

[Tammo] Huh? I didn't hear anything.

Well, that was a pretty shitty barricade,

huh?

[Lukas] Hello? Tammo!

[flapping noise]

[Tammo shrieks]

g*dd*mn it!

[Tammo] Ahh!

[whimpers] Ahh!

And now push! Push the button!

That's it, keep holding it down.

While you push, he can't recover.

I call it the "Infinite Loop of Pain."

Isn't it sick?

[Lukas] Hey! [Tammo shouts and groans]

[heroic sacred music playing]

[demon] Ahh! Ouch!

[struggle noises]

[Tammo groans]

[magical swooshing sound]

[music stops]

[Lilith] You're both here. How convenient.

I think I can take it from here, thanks.

[Tammo whimpers]

Oh, that was close! [sighs] Oh!

- I think I should do the talking.

- 'Kay, great.

[Tammo groans]

Either you're too stupid to fathom

this opportunity, or perhaps you've

fallen in love.

I don't even know

which is more disappointing.

Where did you take your girlfriend?

[gasps]

- You're doing the talking, right?

- She's with Eira.

Eira's helping her.

There's nothing you can do about it.

Eira?

This being will give her infinite power.

And you really think

she'll give up this opportunity?

Pauline isn't safe.

Eira's probably cutting that thing out

of her belly as we speak.

Let me go.

Or what?

I still have the ring.

You mean this one?

Wow.

This piece of junk only exists

because I've learned

that men need

a silly little token of power.

Hm

Well, we must regain control

over that creature,

so I guess I'll have to deal

with this myself.

In any case,

you'll never see Pauline alive again.

You're pretty damn stupid, aren't you?

Did you really think you could

protect your little girlfriend? Hm?

[groans]

[groans]

[Antichrist growls]

[pants]

Wha No, no, no, no! Lukas!

[Eira] Are you all right?

Yes, it just felt weird.

Like something

I don't know,

something just doesn't feel right.

It's perfectly normal to feel uncertain

in your situation. Hm?

May I do something for you?

Don't worry, it won't hurt. Come here.

[Eira inhales]

Okay, so please close your eyes

for a second.

and think about something positive.

Think of a place

where you feel at peace.

I don't know what a peaceful place

means anymore,

I don't think this is gonna work.

[birds chirping]

[Jason] There's no need for uncertainty.

I wish I could have lived to see

how wise and strong you've become.

I'm so proud of you, little one.

[Eira] Close your eyes.

So? Are you still feeling uncertain?

I feel like I just took a hot bath.

[Eira chuckles]

If you want another hot tub session,

let me know. Hm?

[knocking]

[Eira] Yes?

[angel] Hi. They are here now.

We can get started.

[angel 1] Eira! It's so good to see you!

[Eira] It's great to see you.

[leaves rustling]

[distant clapping]

[angelic solemn music playing]

"SUNNYSIDE" 1996, FROM LEFT TO RIGH

[faint murmuring]

[rhythmic tumbling sound]

Oh, I forgot about that. Uh

[faint murmuring]

There's no way to stop it

once the wash cycle starts

- Is it super annoying?

- Hm-mhm.

- [angel 3] A stupid washing machine!

- It is.

- I can go and take a quick look.

- Don't go.

Enough!

[Eira] It doesn't taste that bad.

You can trust me.

[Otherworldly whispers]

[otherworldly growling]

I don't feel it anymore.

[Pauline gasps]

[door creaks]

[sinister music playing]

You want me to drink more?

Just one more glass.

We'll take care of the rest.

Everything will be all right.

Just like taking a hot bath.

[otherworldly whispering and growling]

[groans]

[Eira] It's starting.

[Antichrist growls loudly]

[Pauline grunts]

Soon it'll all be over.

[Pauline screams]

What did you do to me?

[bus rumbles]

[passenger coughing]

WHAT ARE YOU UP TO? I'M WITH PAULI

I MIGHT HAVE GUESSED

[passenger keeps coughing]

[Pauline groans]

[indistinct whispering]

Your existence used

to be a mystery to me.

[Pauline whimpers]

But now I finally understand.

The universe has bestowed a gift upon us.

[angel 6] It has!

[angel's indistinct excited chattering]

[Pauline whimpering]

[angel 7] Yes!

[stomping and whirring intensify]

You are going to help us break

the eternal cycle.

We will finally prevail.

[excited commotion and laughing]

[sinister music playing]

[metal swishing]

Oh my God, Dude! He lives!

- How long has it been?

- Uh a little while.

Listen. It's too late for Pauline.

But we could still

- sh*t!

- manage to escape if

- So? Are you coming?

- Uh Oh Okay. Okay.

[tires screech]

[rhythmic stomping]

[angles laughing excitedly]

[excited chatter]

[Antichrist growls]

[Pauline pants and whimpers]

You will sacrifice yourself for us.

Just like your father.

Jason would be so proud of you,

little one.

What about keeping the balance?

There is no balance. There is a battle

being waged for the soul of your world

And the good guys are losing!

Half of mankind is ignorant,

and the other half depressed.

And why?

[angels stomping and chanting]

Free will.

[Eira] Chaos has held the world

in its grip for far too long now.

However, the tide of battle is turning

here and now. Because of you!

There's a fruit growing inside your womb

and we just need to harvest it.

[Eira] We'll finally regain control

over the portal.

And then we can finally

banish all evil from this world.

[whirring]

[angels] Hoo. Ha.

No discontent. No selfishness.

[angels] Hoo. Ha.

All of mankind under control.

[angels] Hoo, ha, hoo, ha, hoo, ha

Hoo, ha, hoo, ha, hoo, ha

[pants]

[Eira] Pauline, are you prepared

to die for a good cause?

[angels] Hoo, ha, hoo, ha, hoo.

[Jason] What do you want to do?

It's your decision.

[Pauline breathes deeply]

[Eira] Mh

[heart beating]

[Eira] Hm [sighs]

[washing machine beeps]

[Eira screams]

[angels] What is she doing?

[Eira screams]

Ahh!

[concerned commotion]

[violent expl*si*n]

[angels scream and whale]

[Pauline pants]

[engine roaring]

[upbeat music]

[Lukas] Tammo, I see something.

Pull over! There's someone there!

- What?

- Pull over!

[sighs]

[breathing heavily]

[Pauline breathes shakily]

It It didn't work.

I figured.

[engine sound approaching]

[indistinct radio chatter]

"For not even walls

and stone can limit love.

Love attempts what love can do.

Daringly."

So where did we leave things off

last time?

[opera music playing]
