1
00:00:11,958 --> 00:00:13,434
You see, Pikey?
2
00:00:13,458 --> 00:00:16,392
You and me, we're best buddies.
3
00:00:16,416 --> 00:00:18,208
And we always will be.
4
00:00:22,500 --> 00:00:24,851
Well, Pike.
5
00:00:24,875 --> 00:00:27,207
It's time for your answer.
6
00:02:05,875 --> 00:02:07,434
Thar Amphala,
7
00:02:07,458 --> 00:02:10,601
festering beneath our home
this entire time.
8
00:02:10,625 --> 00:02:12,392
Guess I wasn't paranoid.
9
00:02:12,416 --> 00:02:14,642
Okay, game plan.
10
00:02:14,666 --> 00:02:17,476
Find Pike, shut down the Whitestone Orb
11
00:02:17,500 --> 00:02:19,976
and leave the Whispered One
and the rest here to rot.
12
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:21,601
But how do we know where Pike is?
13
00:02:21,625 --> 00:02:23,517
Vax!
14
00:02:23,541 --> 00:02:25,165
- Are you okay?
- Vax?
15
00:02:35,333 --> 00:02:37,351
- What's happening?
- The blight.
16
00:02:37,375 --> 00:02:38,934
It's spreading!
17
00:02:38,958 --> 00:02:41,790
Brother! Brother!
Brother! Brother! Brother!
18
00:02:50,916 --> 00:02:52,267
Wait.
19
00:02:52,291 --> 00:02:53,541
Is that...
20
00:03:00,875 --> 00:03:03,059
Holy shit. Are you all right?
21
00:03:03,083 --> 00:03:04,184
She's there.
22
00:03:04,208 --> 00:03:06,101
Wh-Who? Where?
23
00:03:06,125 --> 00:03:07,892
Her thread of fate.
24
00:03:07,916 --> 00:03:09,851
I see it.
25
00:03:09,875 --> 00:03:11,934
I see all of yours.
26
00:03:11,958 --> 00:03:14,059
Pike? But how?
27
00:03:14,083 --> 00:03:16,958
Everything is different here. Clearer.
28
00:03:18,125 --> 00:03:20,809
This blight is a gift.
29
00:03:20,833 --> 00:03:23,642
But the Matron said you would die
if you faced the Whispered One.
30
00:03:23,666 --> 00:03:25,059
We can't trust it.
31
00:03:25,083 --> 00:03:28,851
As long as it helps us find Pike,
I say we use it.
32
00:03:28,875 --> 00:03:31,250
Look again. What direction?
33
00:03:32,333 --> 00:03:34,142
Straight ahead.
34
00:03:34,166 --> 00:03:35,434
Wait.
35
00:03:35,458 --> 00:03:38,601
There's something else now.
Something dark.
36
00:03:38,625 --> 00:03:42,309
A severed strand, moving quickly.
37
00:03:42,333 --> 00:03:43,540
Behind you!
38
00:03:45,791 --> 00:03:47,915
Vex'ahlia!
39
00:03:58,958 --> 00:04:03,142
Grog, I am so sorry.
40
00:04:03,166 --> 00:04:06,309
I've been a terrible person.
41
00:04:06,333 --> 00:04:10,559
And worse, a terrible friend.
42
00:04:10,583 --> 00:04:14,184
I wanted to help, to heal, but...
43
00:04:14,208 --> 00:04:16,958
all we've done is cause more pain.
44
00:04:18,333 --> 00:04:21,601
So many lives were destroyed
in Vox Machina's wake,
45
00:04:21,625 --> 00:04:24,017
and I let it happen.
46
00:04:24,041 --> 00:04:26,750
They're so obsessed
with their own shit, they...
47
00:04:28,500 --> 00:04:32,267
...forgot the ones they fight for,
like you.
48
00:04:32,291 --> 00:04:34,351
And Scanlan.
49
00:04:34,375 --> 00:04:36,040
And me.
50
00:04:37,541 --> 00:04:40,476
Everyone thinks I'm perfect little Pike,
51
00:04:40,500 --> 00:04:43,684
just always guided by the Everlight.
52
00:04:43,708 --> 00:04:45,416
Except I'm not.
53
00:04:46,791 --> 00:04:48,476
She left me.
54
00:04:48,500 --> 00:04:50,000
And now...
55
00:04:52,625 --> 00:04:54,934
...now's your chance, Everlight.
56
00:04:54,958 --> 00:04:58,375
Do I do the right thing
and let my best friend die?
57
00:04:59,375 --> 00:05:03,059
Or trust the Whispered One to heal Grog?
58
00:05:03,083 --> 00:05:05,976
And Pop-pop, and maybe the whole world.
59
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:08,642
Which is the holy path?
60
00:05:08,666 --> 00:05:11,166
Go on, guide me, please!
61
00:05:12,375 --> 00:05:14,000
Answer me!
62
00:05:26,458 --> 00:05:28,684
That's what I thought.
63
00:05:28,708 --> 00:05:33,750
I can't choose a path if they all lead
to the same goddamn place.
64
00:05:44,458 --> 00:05:46,559
{\an8}Vox Machina is here.
65
00:05:46,583 --> 00:05:49,559
{\an8}Everything
has transpired according to plan.
66
00:05:49,583 --> 00:05:51,517
But what about the healer?
67
00:05:51,541 --> 00:05:53,125
We need her blood for the ritual.
68
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:56,934
Delilah,
69
00:05:56,958 --> 00:05:58,934
have I seen you through so much
70
00:05:58,958 --> 00:06:02,000
for you only to doubt me
in this final hour?
71
00:06:03,041 --> 00:06:05,517
Never. I have unending faith.
72
00:06:05,541 --> 00:06:09,101
We have something stronger than faith.
73
00:06:09,125 --> 00:06:10,708
We have hope.
74
00:06:12,708 --> 00:06:16,601
And for your sacrifices,
you will receive what has been promised.
75
00:06:16,625 --> 00:06:19,416
Your beloved Sylas.
76
00:06:20,416 --> 00:06:23,250
But for now, patience.
77
00:06:24,625 --> 00:06:29,915
Besides, our animal friend
has things well in hand.
78
00:06:33,166 --> 00:06:35,915
Keep the others at bay, my pets.
79
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:39,832
Vex!
80
00:06:49,125 --> 00:06:50,374
Damn it!
81
00:07:02,125 --> 00:07:03,708
Pardon me!
82
00:07:13,125 --> 00:07:15,458
No!
83
00:07:21,916 --> 00:07:24,291
We've got her!
84
00:07:25,208 --> 00:07:27,916
Gloomstalkers, to me!
85
00:07:50,750 --> 00:07:52,125
I've got you, love.
86
00:07:53,500 --> 00:07:55,434
Percy.
87
00:07:55,458 --> 00:07:57,124
Wait, where's my brother?
88
00:08:07,750 --> 00:08:10,040
The Whispered One restores all.
89
00:08:11,125 --> 00:08:13,500
Pets, tear this raven apart!
90
00:08:14,500 --> 00:08:17,332
Matron, I could use your help here.
91
00:08:29,458 --> 00:08:31,291
Now that's more like it.
92
00:08:34,458 --> 00:08:35,458
Wait.
93
00:08:36,666 --> 00:08:37,750
That's new.
94
00:08:52,791 --> 00:08:57,165
W-What is happening?
95
00:09:07,458 --> 00:09:08,875
Brother!
96
00:09:13,125 --> 00:09:14,809
Thank the gods.
97
00:09:14,833 --> 00:09:16,726
I thought I lost you.
98
00:09:16,750 --> 00:09:18,392
Careful.
99
00:09:18,416 --> 00:09:20,226
He'll spring back any second now.
100
00:09:20,250 --> 00:09:22,809
Actually, I don't think he will.
101
00:09:22,833 --> 00:09:24,374
I saw something.
102
00:09:29,791 --> 00:09:32,851
Shadowstone implanted in them.
103
00:09:32,875 --> 00:09:35,184
It must be how
the Whispered One keeps them alive.
104
00:09:35,208 --> 00:09:36,767
And you saw it?
105
00:09:36,791 --> 00:09:39,934
Through his clothes? Under his skin?
106
00:09:39,958 --> 00:09:42,642
The Matron wasn't killing me
with this blight.
107
00:09:42,666 --> 00:09:45,892
She was preparing me for this moment.
108
00:09:45,916 --> 00:09:49,416
And if your daggers can kill them,
we can fight our way to Pike.
109
00:09:50,416 --> 00:09:53,082
Still, we'd have get through
those beasts first.
110
00:09:57,208 --> 00:09:59,624
I may have a solve for that.
111
00:10:01,458 --> 00:10:02,767
The animal tamer.
112
00:10:02,791 --> 00:10:04,851
My connection to him has been broken.
113
00:10:04,875 --> 00:10:06,434
But that shouldn't be possible.
114
00:10:06,458 --> 00:10:08,559
Unless he's dead.
115
00:10:08,583 --> 00:10:10,976
I thought you could grant us eternal life.
116
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:12,351
My daughter--
117
00:10:12,375 --> 00:10:14,559
Will be brought back.
118
00:10:14,583 --> 00:10:17,017
As well as any of you who fall.
119
00:10:17,041 --> 00:10:20,434
After my ascension, all is possible.
120
00:10:20,458 --> 00:10:22,184
If you ascend.
121
00:10:22,208 --> 00:10:24,601
We still lack the blood of the divine one.
122
00:10:24,625 --> 00:10:26,351
And now, Vox Machina is here.
123
00:10:26,375 --> 00:10:28,476
Pike is small, weak.
124
00:10:28,500 --> 00:10:31,184
Let's just kill and drain her ourselves.
125
00:10:31,208 --> 00:10:32,333
Narash-thrada!
126
00:10:35,833 --> 00:10:37,851
I love you all,
127
00:10:37,875 --> 00:10:41,392
but we cannot strip Pike of the choice
the gods refuse her.
128
00:10:41,416 --> 00:10:45,434
Otherwise, we are no better than they.
129
00:10:45,458 --> 00:10:47,166
My friends are here?
130
00:10:51,500 --> 00:10:53,434
Pike, I... I-I didn't realize--
131
00:10:53,458 --> 00:10:55,249
Where?
132
00:10:59,375 --> 00:11:00,976
Easy boy.
133
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:02,476
I won't hurt you.
134
00:11:02,500 --> 00:11:04,267
No need to rip my face off.
135
00:11:04,291 --> 00:11:06,309
Are we sure this is a good idea?
136
00:11:06,333 --> 00:11:08,125
Uh... she'll be okay.
137
00:11:10,125 --> 00:11:12,851
Okay, the rules say this only works
on living animals,
138
00:11:12,875 --> 00:11:14,892
and you're... not.
139
00:11:14,916 --> 00:11:17,934
But I'm the Voice of the Tempest, right?
140
00:11:17,958 --> 00:11:19,851
I make the rules.
141
00:11:19,875 --> 00:11:21,517
Fuck me, she's gonna die.
142
00:11:21,541 --> 00:11:24,083
Your friends will be on their way now.
143
00:11:25,833 --> 00:11:30,476
Coming to stop me,
at the behest of the Matron of Ravens,
144
00:11:30,500 --> 00:11:34,309
using them, as the Everlight uses you.
145
00:11:34,333 --> 00:11:35,976
I should go talk to them.
146
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:38,083
What more would you say to them?
147
00:11:43,500 --> 00:11:46,559
They don't know what we know.
148
00:11:46,583 --> 00:11:51,267
That the world endures pain and death
at the whim of their gods.
149
00:11:51,291 --> 00:11:54,476
How many more will your friends lose
150
00:11:54,500 --> 00:11:57,517
before they realize the truth?
151
00:11:57,541 --> 00:12:00,832
Pike, help me put an end to that pain.
152
00:12:06,166 --> 00:12:08,142
Well, I'll be damned.
153
00:12:08,166 --> 00:12:10,517
Our own undead entourage.
154
00:12:10,541 --> 00:12:12,351
Bloody great work, Keyleth.
155
00:12:12,375 --> 00:12:14,976
All we need to do now is save Pike.
156
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:18,434
What if... what if we didn't stop there?
157
00:12:18,458 --> 00:12:19,934
W-What do you mean?
158
00:12:19,958 --> 00:12:24,142
I mean, the Matron showed me
where to find Pike.
159
00:12:24,166 --> 00:12:26,226
And how to kill our enemy.
160
00:12:26,250 --> 00:12:29,851
Maybe her powers could end
this mad crusade,
161
00:12:29,875 --> 00:12:32,458
kill the Whispered One once and for all.
162
00:12:33,458 --> 00:12:35,166
How dare you?
163
00:12:37,708 --> 00:12:40,309
Those daggers don't change
what happened to my father.
164
00:12:40,333 --> 00:12:41,809
Or Grog.
165
00:12:41,833 --> 00:12:44,267
How many of us have to get hurt
before you realize
166
00:12:44,291 --> 00:12:47,601
that "once and for all" doesn't exist?
167
00:12:47,625 --> 00:12:51,476
Kiki, you're always saying
if there is a chance,
168
00:12:51,500 --> 00:12:53,833
we have to try.
169
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:59,559
For the first time in a year,
there's hope for us.
170
00:12:59,583 --> 00:13:02,083
Please don't throw it away.
171
00:13:03,750 --> 00:13:07,476
Just promise me you'll only save Pike.
172
00:13:07,500 --> 00:13:11,250
Then we can shut down the Orb
and put all of this behind us.
173
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:16,124
I promise.
174
00:13:28,625 --> 00:13:31,333
The ceremonial dagger, my lady.
175
00:13:34,958 --> 00:13:37,892
My lord, are you ready?
176
00:13:37,916 --> 00:13:39,976
Of course not.
177
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:44,892
For centuries,
I've fought forces greater than myself.
178
00:13:44,916 --> 00:13:49,059
Sacrificed innocent, helpless souls.
179
00:13:49,083 --> 00:13:51,976
Done so much wrong,
180
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:54,791
all for the chance
to conquer death itself.
181
00:13:55,958 --> 00:13:58,726
How could anyone
be ready for such a thing?
182
00:13:58,750 --> 00:14:01,267
Then how are you so certain?
183
00:14:01,291 --> 00:14:04,333
Like you, I have hope.
184
00:14:18,916 --> 00:14:22,750
Let the end begin.
185
00:14:30,625 --> 00:14:32,208
Incoming!
186
00:15:02,375 --> 00:15:04,165
Vax!
187
00:15:24,333 --> 00:15:25,625
Let's go.
188
00:15:27,916 --> 00:15:29,767
You see?
189
00:15:29,791 --> 00:15:31,125
Hope.
190
00:16:10,333 --> 00:16:12,226
Now we're even.
191
00:16:12,250 --> 00:16:14,142
No. No, no, no, no, no!
192
00:16:14,166 --> 00:16:15,500
It can't be.
193
00:16:18,708 --> 00:16:19,767
Huh?
194
00:16:19,791 --> 00:16:23,559
Seems
the Matron's champion has fallen.
195
00:16:23,583 --> 00:16:25,957
Our job is done.
196
00:16:28,416 --> 00:16:29,957
Not quite.
197
00:16:32,458 --> 00:16:34,458
♪ Demon's claw ♪
198
00:16:35,416 --> 00:16:37,976
Undying King.
199
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:40,976
To rise among the gods of Exandria,
200
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:44,642
you must pledge to those
who bestow this power.
201
00:16:44,666 --> 00:16:47,892
Your children of truth.
202
00:16:47,916 --> 00:16:50,851
Are you willing to see for us?
203
00:16:50,875 --> 00:16:52,684
I am.
204
00:16:52,708 --> 00:16:54,517
To fight for us?
205
00:16:54,541 --> 00:16:56,934
I am!
206
00:16:56,958 --> 00:17:01,332
Then we give you our blood,
to nourish a new body.
207
00:17:05,916 --> 00:17:10,934
We are his blood!
We are his blood!
208
00:17:10,958 --> 00:17:14,726
Uthed dras lo kalu thath.
209
00:17:14,750 --> 00:17:19,415
Dwes kalu, varen Thar Amphala.
210
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:28,374
Keyleth!
211
00:17:32,041 --> 00:17:34,416
They're everywhere!
212
00:17:42,250 --> 00:17:43,767
Heh, you've lost.
213
00:17:43,791 --> 00:17:45,892
The Whispered One will rise reborn.
214
00:17:45,916 --> 00:17:49,708
And the champion's head
will be the perfect ascension gift.
215
00:17:51,583 --> 00:17:53,749
Wait. Something's off.
216
00:17:58,000 --> 00:17:59,708
This isn't the champion.
217
00:18:02,500 --> 00:18:04,458
Where the fuck did he go?
218
00:18:12,958 --> 00:18:14,624
I'm coming, pickle.
219
00:18:31,500 --> 00:18:32,875
What?
220
00:18:35,875 --> 00:18:37,416
Aim for the glow!
221
00:18:52,416 --> 00:18:54,976
It's a... it's a trap!
222
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:56,458
No!
223
00:18:57,708 --> 00:18:59,082
No!
224
00:19:13,083 --> 00:19:14,750
Stop! No!
225
00:19:16,541 --> 00:19:18,291
This is for my people.
226
00:19:21,833 --> 00:19:23,541
This is for my father.
227
00:19:27,500 --> 00:19:29,166
And this is for me.
228
00:19:44,375 --> 00:19:46,726
My sweet girl.
229
00:19:46,750 --> 00:19:48,125
I'm coming.
230
00:20:02,791 --> 00:20:04,892
Matron, how is he...
231
00:20:04,916 --> 00:20:07,165
You can't help him now.
232
00:20:09,666 --> 00:20:12,434
Oh, thank the gods you're okay.
233
00:20:12,458 --> 00:20:14,017
Now, come on, we have to hurry.
234
00:20:14,041 --> 00:20:16,666
You're here to kill
the Whispered One, aren't you?
235
00:20:17,541 --> 00:20:19,333
To fulfill the Matron's command?
236
00:20:21,291 --> 00:20:23,309
We considered it.
237
00:20:23,333 --> 00:20:26,559
But no fight is worth
losing another friend.
238
00:20:26,583 --> 00:20:29,017
This was all a distraction to find you,
239
00:20:29,041 --> 00:20:31,208
and get you away from this bloody mess.
240
00:20:32,791 --> 00:20:34,434
Seems about right.
241
00:20:34,458 --> 00:20:38,416
Fuck shit up, beat the bad guy,
take a victory lap.
242
00:20:39,791 --> 00:20:42,642
Never mind the victims
who get left behind.
243
00:20:42,666 --> 00:20:44,351
What?
244
00:20:44,375 --> 00:20:46,351
It's what Vox Machina does.
245
00:20:46,375 --> 00:20:49,559
Stay alive at any cost.
246
00:20:49,583 --> 00:20:54,250
Remember? But some costs are too great.
247
00:21:03,166 --> 00:21:08,250
Huwesh wuva-des shok lo grath!
248
00:21:28,041 --> 00:21:29,041
Yes!
249
00:21:30,125 --> 00:21:31,583
Yes!
250
00:21:34,916 --> 00:21:37,142
Pike, we have to leave now.
251
00:21:37,166 --> 00:21:41,142
Whatever the Whispered One told you,
you can't listen.
252
00:21:41,166 --> 00:21:43,101
We can take Grog's body.
253
00:21:43,125 --> 00:21:44,976
Maybe the Matron will grant me a favor.
254
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:48,142
I am done begging them!
255
00:21:48,166 --> 00:21:50,767
Letting the Everlight judge my path,
256
00:21:50,791 --> 00:21:53,851
letting the Matron choose
who gets a second chance.
257
00:21:53,875 --> 00:21:55,392
Don't you see?
258
00:21:55,416 --> 00:21:57,434
The gods don't give a shit about life.
259
00:21:57,458 --> 00:21:59,142
Then fuck the gods.
260
00:21:59,166 --> 00:22:01,559
What about us?
261
00:22:01,583 --> 00:22:04,059
After the dragons,
262
00:22:04,083 --> 00:22:06,517
you turned your backs on the world.
263
00:22:06,541 --> 00:22:10,101
You forgot about me
for a whole goddamn year,
264
00:22:10,125 --> 00:22:12,476
and you'll forget about Grog, too.
265
00:22:12,500 --> 00:22:15,767
That's not true. We're here to save you.
266
00:22:15,791 --> 00:22:17,309
We're your friends.
267
00:22:17,333 --> 00:22:19,916
I am not your friend.
268
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:25,750
I am his blood.
269
00:23:16,416 --> 00:23:17,416
Chirp.
