02x08 - Curtain Call

[bunniefuu]

[upbeat music playing]

[growls]

All right, everyone, here's the plan.

Charlie and I will go to Vox's party
as guests.

Baxter, Niffty, Husk and Cherri,
you'll sneak into VoxTek

while everyone's distracted
using Baxter's key card.

Well, there goes my benefits.

[Vaggie] Once inside, Cherri and Husk,
you two split off and find Angel.

And then, once you find him,
break the Vees' mind control,

with the power of friendship...

or splash him with water or something.

And if that doesn't work,
just knock his a*s out and drag him back.

We can figure out the rest once he's safe.

Baxter and Niffty, find the source
of Vox's signal and hijack it.

Be careful though, because once Vox
is onto you, he'll respond quickly.

Niffty, you're on security duty.

This is our only chance,
so guard Baxter with your life.

I can do that.

[Vaggie] Once Baxter's ready,
Pentious will take over the broadcast,

showing all of Hell
that redemption is possible.

Emily, that's when you make your entrance,

and with Charlie by your side
in a show of unity between realms,

everyone will see that fighting
isn't the answer... this time.

Yeah!

What about the giant g*n?

[Vaggie] I'm glad you asked. While
everyone's focused on Charlie and Emily,

I'm going to try to destroy the weapon.

How are you gonna do that?

I'll figure it out!

[mysterious music playing]

Everyone in position?

Good.

Maestro, welcome.
Great to see you.

And, Zeezi, always a pleasure.
Crushed any major cities lately?

Don't look at me like that, it was funny.

Well, look what we have here.

Everyone, Princess Morningstar.
Glad to see you accepted my invitation.

Come on up here
where everyone can see you.

Vox, where is my dad?
You said he'd be here.

He's around, don't worry.

And I see you brought a date,
and an angel no less... bold move.

I can respect a statement.

[laughs obnoxiously]
You're so f*cking funny.

[chuckles] I am funny.

Anyway, Princess, hope you're in the mood
to celebrate my victory all night.

'Cause tomorrow
I'm taking Heaven by force!

Isn't that right, everyone?

[all cheering]

[chanting] Vox! Vox! Vox! Vox!

-[cheering and whooping]
-[gasps]

Alastor!

Oh, no, no, no, Princess.

I have a special place for you right here.

-[groans]
-Seriously?

f*ck this! I'm done.

Val, you aren't leaving
until the press is done.

Then we can f*ck off.

Where do I sit?

Who f*cking cares?

Charlie, I'm glad we can have this time
to put aside our differences

and join together in angelic conquest.

And look, look, look,

I made a collage of all our best moments
together to celebrate.

Carmilla.

I don't know what you're doing here
but I want no part of it.

I need your help.

What part of "no" do you not understand?

Once Heaven is gone,
Vox will still have a doomsday weapon.

And you will be the only one left
who knows how to stop it.

How safe do you think
you and your girls will be then?

I cannot help you.

Fine. Just don't try to stop me.

And this... and this one is us

when you failed to show any evidence
that your hotel works.

[laughing] It's one of my favorites.

You look so stupid!

[intriguing music playing]

♪♪

The Pangolins have landed.

Uh, what?

The Vees are distracted.

Then just say that, f*ck.

[Emily over radio] I don't know
for how long though!

Go now, and hurry!

[exciting music playing]

[beeps]

[soaring music playing]

They're in. Get ready!

Affirmative!

Yeah. There.

That should disable
every camera in the building.

However, I would suggest making haste
to the penthouse, you two.

[Cherri] Righto!

[Angel Dust groaning]

[Cherri] f*ck.

Angie.

[Baxter] Copy, paste...

[singsongy] highlight.

[muttering] And yep, yep, yep,
there goes that.

Get ready, Niffty, I don't think
we'll be alone for long.

[clacking and whirring]

And, oh... Oh!

And when I made your dad
back down like a little b*tch!

[inhales raggedly]
The look on his face was priceless.

What the hell?

Ha-ha! Guess what, f*ck.

I have a little surprise for you.

Oh, no, you f*cking don't.

Val, Velvette!

[growls]

[crackling]

Uh-uh, I don't think so.

People of Hell, you all know me,

and you also know
all the ways I've failed.

But I want to tell you about
someone who didn't fail,

someone who proved redemption is possible

even when I couldn't.

Someone named Sir Pentious!

Many of you know Sir Pentious.

I don't.

Okay, well, he was a sinner just like you.

He was also a kind
and compassionate individual.

Someone who made mistakes, yes,
but someone who did everything he could

to fix them, and he succeeded.

What the f*ck?

How do I break you?

[grunts]

[cries out]

Ha-hey! It's you.

It's Char... Charlie's girlfriend!

Ah, what are you doin' here?

Uh, saving you, apparently.

Do you have any idea
what you're attached to?

[laughs] No idea, nope,

but it does make my head
feel kinda fuzzy though.

[hacking] By the way,
is Charlie still mad at me?

Don't worry, I'll get you out.

As soon as I figure out how.

All right, Princess, this is my sh...

Heh, always wanted to do that.

In our battle to defend against Adam
and the Exorcist army,

Pentious fought valiantly, and ultimately

-sacrificed his life to protect others.
-[beeping]

This noble gesture was enough to prove
that his soul was worthy of redemption.

And he is in Heaven
and this time I can prove it!

Pentious, Baxter, now!

[both] Affirmative.

[shouts] Jesus!

Am I interrupting something?

A little shark told me the princess sent
the f*cking Lollipop Guild to stop us.

[laughs] Hilarious.

Wow, you're really pretty, lady.

[scoffs] I know.

But not for long.

[both grunting fiercely]

Ah, you f*cking c**t!

[shouts]

Presenting Sir Pentious!

Direct from Heaven
here to tell you himself.

-[overlapping muttering]
-I don't see anything.

-I don't see anything.
-What are we lookin' at?

Uh... Oh, no, no.

Oh, gosh. Uh, no, no, no, no.
What's happening?

Um, uh, excuse me,

we're just having technical difficulties.

Uh, I'll be a minute. Ugh!

Emily, what is going on?

Uh, Husk?

It's time to go.

Come on, Legs,
we're getting you out of here.

No. No! Don't f*cking touch me.

[distorted voice] Angel, look at us,
you know me.

[normal voice] We're here to help.

[Angel Dust] Uh, where am I?

Why would you do that?

Trust me, I've done this before.
You're gonna want the vomit sack.

[Angel Dust] Uh, I'm gonna puke.

[Valentino speaking Spanish]

[gasps] Hey!

-Get your hands off my property.
-[snaps fingers]

Oh, sh*t.

Guys, what is going on? Hello?

You lied!

-Yeah, what sinner number one said!
-Yeah, I don't like liars.

[overlapping chatter]

No, no, I promise, w-we had a plan and...
[gasps]

[gasping and shouting]

Please, everyone, give us a chance.

I'm here to tell you that Heaven
believes in redemption as well

and doesn't want to cause you
any more harm.

Leaders of Heaven were led to believe
sinners wanted nothing more

than to hurt us.

But now we want nothing more
than to make things right.

Heaven believes in the capacity for good
inside of each and every one of you.

Yes! You all just need to decide
if you believe in yourselves!

Uh... wait.

Why are they looking at us like that?

Nice try, Princess, but you failed again.

These people are mine
and their minds aren't changing.

Uh, Baxter? Niffty?

Everyone! What is happening?

Yeah! Stab her in the face!
Whoo! f*ck her up!

-[both grunting]
-Oh. Uh...

[dramatic music playing]

[both grunting fiercely]

I thought you were the f*cking maid!

[panting] Vaggie told me
to protect Baxter,

so I will protect Baxter.

[growls, laughs]

[grunts]

You come to my house and touch my things?!

Who the f*ck do you think you are?

[g*nf*re]

[grunting]

f*ck!

[bottles breaking]

[grunts]

Huh?

[Cherri grunts]

-[Vox grunts]
-[yelping]

Look at you, leading your friends
into disaster yet again.

You are really bad at this.

You are a pale imitation of your mother,

and she would be disgusted
at the weak, pitiful

failure you've become.

Say it, Charlie.

Look into the camera,
and tell everyone out there that you lost,

and I'm the most powerful sinner in Hell!

Not Lilith, not Alastor, not the Vees.

Me!

Never.

[laughs] Oh, the drama!

You know what?
Maybe you should say it, Charlie.

Stroke my friend's ego, he needs it.

What? Alastor, why...?

Ah-ah-ah.

Come on, Charlie.

Do me this one simple favor.

No, don't make me.

Go on, tell everyone he's the strongest.

Vox is the strongest sinner in Hell.

[all cheering and clamoring]

[laughter]

[laughing] Oh, yeah!

Look, Princess,
Hell's finally listening to you.

[ominous music playing]

How hard is it to break a box?

Although it is kind of round.

Would this be considered a box?
What is a box?

Box. Box, bo... that's a funny word.
Box!

sh*t. [grunts]

I'll come back for you.

Oh, Charlie, you have no idea
what you've done for me.

All I can say is,

thank you for sucking
so much at everything you try to do.

Just...

Thank you.

[laughing maniacally]

You absolute idiot!

The f*ck is going on?
Get back in your chair!

[cackles]

You swore not to lay your hands
on Charlie,

but you just couldn't help yourself,
could you?

You f*cking creep.

You're always doing that, and I hate it.

What, this? This?

This doesn't count.
I didn't hurt her.

I didn't say not to hurt her, you moron.

I said you're not to
lay your hands on her,

and you did!
You pathetic amateur.

f*cking wordplay?

You tricked me with
a f*cking technicality?

Seriously?!

Mmm... It worked, didn't it?

Baby, I'm a demon in Hell.

It's kind of our thing.

[sighs]
You're nothing if not predictable.

f*ck you!

It doesn't matter that you're free,

I'll just beat your a*s back
into submission.

[echoing]
I am more powerful than I've ever been.

Oh, don't sell yourself short.

You're the most powerful sinner
in Hell now.

I have to thank you for that.

Your little power grab helped break
another chain that's been holding me back

for quite some time, and now...

we can finally settle this
once and for all.

Finally, a fight with you
that might be a challenge!

Your screams will make for
a satisfying broadcast.

[dramatic music playing]

Broadcast this, f*ck!

Val's eyes are sh*t.

Ha. Say no more.

f*ck you, Valentino!

You need your little doggy?

No, no, no, no, no!

Damn it!

Aah, bad shark-dog-thing.

Smile for the camera, b*tch!

Whoa!

Oh, sh*t, the bad tingles are back!
The bad tingles are back!

Mad scientist, b*tch!

Bye-bye!

Come on, come on.

Just... just a little bit more, and...

-Smart boy, are you okay?
-Almost there. Come on. Come on.

Yes! Niffty, I got the broadcast back!

Well, sh*t. What do we do now?

I'm not sure.

Without the servers,
I can't receive the signal.

Our only hope is that Pentious can rig
something so overwhelmingly powerful,

that he can force it down here.

Let's just hope he's as smart
as you think he is.

Sir Pentious?

I heard! I heard!
I'm inventing as fast as I can.

Oh, f*ck, that's the longest
I've ever edged.

I'm pretty sure Vox is,
like, losing his sh*t.

[laughing maniacally]

Damn, papi.

No!

Ah! f*cking break already!

Carmilla?

Lift that panel and cut that wire.
I'll work on the back.

Ha!

-He lied! He's a traitor!

-Get him!
-I'll be back for season three!

-He's a liar!

Oh, f*ck! Okay, no. Ah!

[crackling]

You will not take this away from me!

[dramatic music playing]

[screaming]

[gasping] You saved me!

Stupid cursed...
Get this f*cking thing away from me!

Alastor, no!

[screaming]

Emily! Abel, prepare your army.

Sera, you mustn't!

Please! Give me more time!

I can do this!

Are you sure?

Positive. Trust me.

Very well, but please
get Emily out of there!

[dramatic music playing]

Oh-h*-h*, three for the price of one.

You've just been f*cking canceled.

Vox, stop! Firing anymore
will overload the weapon.

[Vox] Then I better
make these shots count!

You idiot, if it overloads, it will blow,

taking you, us,
and half the pentagram with it.

You know what? [cackles]

f*ck Hell, f*ck Heaven,
and f*ck all of you.

As long as I wipe that smile
off Alastor's f*cking face,

I don't care what happens.

[cackling]

f*ck!

You are not f*cking k*lling us
over that stupid deer!

It's over, ya dumb f*ck!

f*ck that. This is my moment,

my f*cking destiny.

I'm a f*cking god!

[shouting]

We're leaving!

f*ck.

Oh, sh*t.

Oh, no, we have to get people
to safety, we-we need to...

It's no use, we won't get clear in time.

People of Hell, hear me!

I am the great and redeemed Sir Pentious,

and I am here to tell you I live!

And... I'm a good boy now.

She was right!

-[cheering and whooping]
-It worked!

Pentious?

We must avoid a w*r with Heaven
at all costs,

Vox must be stopped.
Your very souls could depend on...

Pentious! Holy sh*t, it's you! [screams]

We're-we're good actually,
but it is good to see you!

You-you look cuter.
Heaven looks really good on you.

Charlie! Oh. Oh, splendid. Well...

Um, okay, jolly good then.

Um, okay, everyone, uh, well...

keep up the good work and, um...

okay, hope to see you up here soon.

Oi, dumbcunt!

Cherri? Miss b*mb!

Oh, I can't tell you how long I've been
wanting to speak with you one more time.

So... how's it going?

How's it going?

You kiss me, you die for me,

become the first redeemed sinner,

and "how's it going?"

You f*cking died on me, as*h*le!

Well, I... well, you...

Y-Yes.

Pfft, you... you're...
you're a f*cking dork.

Never mind how I am, tell me about Heaven.

You get in any good fights lately?
You better not have some new rival.

Certainly not, they kind of frown on
violence and death machines up here.

It's quite nice though.
You'd really like it, I think.

Curses, my signal might
go out soon, but, Cherri,

I'm so happy to have seen you again.

Back atcha. Take care of yourself!

Well, seems like I got
a little carried away.

You guys, you guys know me, right?
[laughs]

[inhales sharply]
How's my approval rating?

Oh, my God.

I'm not talking to you.

[Cherri] What a loser, right?

All right, Angie, before you start,
I don't want to hear a thing

about Pentious... Angie?

Angel? Where are you going?

-Back.
-[scoffs]

Back where?

Back... back to my job,
back to my life, back...

back to Val.

You can't be serious. Angel,
we saved you so you could come home.

-[Angel Dust] I can't.
-[Cherri] Angie,

what the f*ck are you talking about?
You're free now.

I'm not!

I never was.

I mean, do you have any idea
what they made me do?

They had me rattin' on the hotel for...

I don't even know how long.

You're not safe around me!

Oh, that's bullshit! Come on, Angel.
We can help you.

No, you can't!

This whole time I thought I had a choice.

What a f*cking joke.

You do have a choice.

I didn't when I had my hands
around your neck, and I don't now.

The last choice I ever got to make
was when I signed my soul away.

Angel, please, don't.

-I'm sorry, just do me a favor...
-Angel.

-And forget you ever knew me.
-Angie, no!

Please! I... come back.

It's okay, Husk. He'll be back.

Don't worry.

[line ringing]

[automated voice] The account holder
on this line is unavailable...

or they're avoiding you.
Leave a message.

Hey, Mom, it's me.
Hope you're doing well.

Uh, you can delete all 47 voice mails
I left you because guess what happened!

Things are finally looking up
at the hotel,

now that the threat of extermination...
and w*r has ended.

So many people want to check in,

and for the right reasons this time.

There's so many of them,
I could never handle it alone.

Luckily, I'm not alone.

Are you sure about this?
This place only works because of you.

And it only survived because of you.

This place is my dream, Vaggie,

but it'll only work if the right people
are in the right place.

Here. Are you sure
about the name this time?

Positive.

[Charlie] Alastor came back,
safe and sound,

and he's in a much better mood.

It seems he has found something else
to entertain him here.

Speaking of entertainment,

somehow, despite everything Vox did,

the other Vees were able
to spin it yet again.

In other news, everyone's favorite
filmmaker Valentino

stepped up during the recent crisis

and protected our city from both
an angelic t*rror1st attack

as well as a quote,
"minorly malfunctioning VoxTek product

that we are not legally liable for,
so f*ck you and stop asking."

Yeah, I guess I, like, saved everyone.

Do I know Vox?

No. Never heard of him.

The future of VoxTek is looking bright.

VoxTek... we might need
to change our company name.

[Charlie] Anyway, I'm still learning
to let these things go. [laughs]

We're all still processing
Angel's absence, things just...

aren't the same without him here.

But we have a lot of new people
to help redeem.

And with Emily's help,
Heaven seems closer than ever.

I hear things in Heaven are going well.

Panic among the winners subsided quickly.

I guess it's easy to let things go
when you live in paradise.

If anything, they seem excited at the idea
of new arrivals from the other side.

What? What is that?
Is that... is that for me?

Oh! Oh, ha...

[Charlie] Overall, things are going great.

I'm great, I just... wish you were here.

Vox tried to convince me your dream
was different than I remember,

but if you could just... see this...
