What if you could go anywhere in the world?

What if... magic were real?

I went to the future. What we went through...

Monsters...

spells, Uncle George's death.

It's our family story.

You might be George's son.

I'm a kumiho, a nine-tailed fox spirit.

Our shit wasn't real.

I'm not dyin'.

What if Ji-ah's right? You can't trust Christina!

She made you invulnerable.

- What is that? - Protection symbol.

To cast a spell, you need energy,

intention, and a body.

But he's planning on killing Atticus.

His blood is a component of my spell to become immortal

and I need all of it.

We need to rewind to this Earth's Tulsa, 1921.

You're a mysterious stranger.

The Book of Names, it's our only chance to save D.

The book is found. I was told to protect it

but never to open it. Now go, before you can't.

- Did we get it? - We got it. We fucking got it.

Hurry, she's burning up.

Watch your step, come on.

It's okay, pumpkin. It's okay.

Oh, shit!

That's your birthmark.

Atticu...

- Leti! - Tic. Leti.

- Oh, Leti. - Atticus.

Atticus!

The answer is in your blood.

Oh, no. Oh, no.

No. No, why am I back here?

It's okay.

We're safe.

The one you carry brought you here.

Where are we?

Atticus unbound the book,

and now you both must learn what was lost.

I ran from Master's house until I couldn't run no more,

but I knew there was nowhere I could go where we'd be safe.

My child would have Master's blood

and would always be seen as a source of power

to those in the Order.

So I used a spell Master worked on himself,

keep our bloodline hidden from all who know magic.

Hanna unknowingly birthed this ancestral space

the night she first opened the Book of Names.

There was so much she didn't understand about magic then.

She believed that this was hell;

she was being punished for using the devil's tools.

Every night, when I closed my eyes,

I found myself back here,

burning over and over again.

The pain was unbearable.

I had to make it stop,

but the flames I ran through to escape

followed me, even in death.

Before Hanna took her own life,

she dared to open the book once more...

To find the spell that would bind it shut forever

so that the suffering it caused

would not be visited on those who came after.

Took a long time to understand

the fire was my rage made manifest,

that it could be tamed.

Once I did,

once I made this a safe place for our ancestors...

I realized this magic was not something to be feared...

but a gift to pass on.

Our family has protected the book for generations.

Now that falls to you.

- No. - There's no one else.

- Atticus... - Has his own burden to bear.

Do not do what Hanna did when she bound the book out of fear.

Do not cripple your son with your doubts.

You will need to be strong to fix her mistake.

I need your help. My cousin's been cursed.

I unbound the book to save her.

You gonna save 'em all.

You know what Hanna asked me to do?

Yes.

I don't wanna die, Mama.

I know, baby.

But if we ain't walking toward an altar

to sacrifice ourself for something important...

what is our purpose?

There's gotta be another way to stop Christina.

If my life taught me one thing,

it's that we tell ourselves we have a choice, but we don't.

With George and Montrose, I never had one.

They both were a part of my soul,

and I never should have been scared of that.

I can see now all of our love made you.

You've got the best parts of both of 'em:

Montrose's fierce heart and George's integrity.

You're a hero,

just like in those stories you used to cherish.

And Hanna's spell,

it's gonna change everything, baby.

This is a beginning, not an end.

Come on, now.

There's work to do.

Baby...

Everyone concentrate on Diana.

- Leti. - Atticus!

Leti. Come on, we need you now.

- Wake up. - Atticus!

Leti, wake up.

- Come on, come on! - Wake up!

Atticus! Atticus, wake up!

Come on, Leti. Come on.

Atticus!

Come on! Come on, please don't!

- Montrose... - Come on, wake up!

Wake up. No. Atticus!

Montrose.

Montrose. Montrose!

Baby, I'm here.

Baby. Can you hear me?

What the hell happened?

I need a pen and paper.

I saw Mama.

No, it's okay. Mama's got you.

It's all right. Just relax.

Everything's fine.

We don't have time to keep debating this.

We have to do Hanna's spell,

and the blood tie's the most important part.

We need a physical connection

between me, Titus, and Christina.

Mm-mm. It's too damn risky.

Hanna's been working on this binding spell

for over a century.

The ancestors already walked Leti through it.

Well, let her work on a spell that don't have you

walking into Christina's hands.

There's no time, Pop!

If we wanna take her power from her,

we need to use the energy from her spell against her.

In the book, it says you die in the ceremony, Tic.

The book is wrong.

It's just one potential... future.

Talk some sense into him.

You, him, and the baby... Y'all go.

Christina can't find you with the birthmark.

Look what we been through to get here:

monsters, ghosts,

a-a magical treasure hunt, curses, the past, the future.

We can't stop fighting now.

The mysterious stranger I heard about my entire life,

swinging the bat like Jackie Robinson,

saving you, Mama, and Uncle George was me.

This book belongs to our family, and together,

we're gonna use this book to protect our family.

Who are you?

Your blood heir.

Why did you bring me back?

To do what I should have

the night you tried to sacrifice my baby.

You ungrateful wench.

I gave you more than any nigger ever had.

Tic!

You dare to use my magic?

What's stolen ain't yours.

Ahh!

Where'd he go?

The circle was supposed to hold him!

We must get him back now!

Watch out! Whoa!

Ruby! Are you okay?

I'm okay.

Titus.

Those niggers have the Book of...

And that was supposed to be the easy part.

I made your favorite.

You really need to eat something.

You left me.

I did.

I did, so I could become what you imagined me to be...

so I could be Orithyia Blue.

She's not real.

I found a place...

where I could bring her to life,

where I could name myself anything, and I did.

I went on adventures that not even

your father's beautiful mind could have imagined.

And then I named myself mother,

and it brought me back here to you.

Pumpkin, I was always gonna come back.

And if I had known

what was happening to you, I would have come back sooner...

I don't care what you would have done.

You weren't here.

I was alone, and they...

Never mind.

Everything's jake.

Couldn't have saved me anyways.

We have to leave the day after tomorrow

to get to Ardham by the autumnal equinox.

How the hell we supposed to get

a piece of that bitch before then?

Ruby.

Hell no.

She can get closer to her than any of us can.

See, that's the problem. She's too damn close.

The ancestors said

that we have to connect

all three of their bodies to bind Christina.

And we need to amplify our intention too.

This spell's bigger than the resurrection one

we just did, and we can't call the ancestors for help again.

It's just the three of us.

Four.

Now tell me about this spell.

Shit. Tic!

What the hell is she doing here?

Can we talk?

Anything you wanna say can be said here.

This isn't generational hate.

Our families are not at war.

This has never been personal.

The hell it ain't. You're trying to kill my son.

His death is a consequence of a spell I'm attempting to cast.

There's no other way for it to work,

at least not that I could figure out

with the tools at my disposal.

But... now somehow,

you've gotten your hands on the Book of Names.

Give it to me...

and you have my word.

I leave you and your family alone.

I find another way to achieve my ends

without your blood, using the book.

No.

Leti!

What's wrong? Is it the baby?

No, no, no. Guys, she...

She took my invulnerability.

Operator. How may I direct your call?

The Drake Hotel.

You look very... exotic.

Let me guess where you're from: Japan.

Oh.

So you don't speak any English?

I said, would you be willing to die to fuck me?

Thank you for meeting me here.

What we had was real,

but I thought if I denied that part,

I could deny all of it... including what you saw.

I'm sorry for the way I talked to you at the house.

I know you only wanted to help me by coming here.

I think I was trying to help myself.

My Umma... mother... died recently.

And for a long time, I thought I couldn't feel anything

because I'm kumiho.

But then I met Young-ja and you.

My mother finally loved me like a daughter.

But all that feeling is gone.

And when you started calling again... I don't know.

I don't know what I expected just showing up here.

Your feelings aren't gone,

not forever.

It's what happens when you lose someone so close to you.

You... you lose a part of yourself.

It's called grieving.

It's human.

And in times of mourning,

that's when you should be surrounded by family,

and that's what we are.

I was too scared to see it at first,

when you first showed up, but our connection...

our intertwined destinies...

it makes us family.

I went to a Mudang, our shaman,

to ask about what I saw.

What'd she say?

She said I should not be concerned with mortal things,

that you will die,

that I am destined to enter the darkness.

I don't believe that.

You were the one who reminded me we have a choice.

We can be monsters... or heroes.

I was in jail.

It's why I didn't come to Mama's funeral.

Before you say anything,

I beat myself up about it plenty.

Truth is, I was relieved.

I didn't wanna go.

You think I did?

I know Eloise Baptiste wasn't easy,

but she was still our mother.

That's not enough, Ruby.

We just call ourselves family.

I'm even confused about what family really means,

and Lord knows she wasn't a good example of it.

You know, I know what it is now,

and it is not an obligation.

It's acceptance.

It's a willingness to sacrifice everything that is necessary

in order to protect it.

You were right.

We do need to learn magic.

Is that...

The Book of Names.

And we're gonna use it

in a binding spell against Christina,

but we need a part of her body in order to make it happen,

and you're the only one

who can get close enough to get it.

Now, Atticus didn't want me telling you any of this.

He thinks you're on Christina's side,

but you are my sister,

and I need my sister to choose to be my family right now.

You're right.

You been getting family wrong.

You been getting it so wrong for so long

that you can't see that you're still doing it.

You only wanna be my sister

when you need something, Leti.

And this moment might feel different to you, but to me,

it looks exactly the same.

Wait.

There's more you need to know.

You like it?

How did you learn to draw like this?

An artist named Afua taught me

so I could teach you.

I'll never be able to draw again.

Come here, pumpkin. I wanna show you something.

Come on. Come on.

Hmm.

People think of time

as a physical manifestation,

but it really is, like so many things, in our minds.

We get fixated on moments, stuck in them,

but time...

never stops.

Pumpkin, I know you're angry with me,

and you have every right to be. I let you down.

But this moment will pass.

I'll make sure of that,

just like I will make sure that you will draw again.

How are you gonna do that?

Come on.

Whoa.

What have you been doing down here all day?

Going over the details of my spell.

Intention, location, the body combined with an incantation...

Those are the elements of magic.

First time I created the potion

was on the bridge Lancaster shot William on.

I used the energy of his death for his rebirth.

For the body, I combined parts of my blood, hair, and nails

with his.

That's why I have to keep William in a comatose state.

Something wrong?

No.

I was just wondering when you got all of that from me,

and then I remembered.

You can amplify the elements

in various ways for bigger spells.

There's an infinite number of combinations

and an infinite number of ways they can be just slightly off.

You're worried your spell won't work?

If my spell doesn't work...

I killed the last of my family for nothing.

Your spell's going to work,

and you have me now.

Have you ever...?

No.

It's my first time.

Praise the Lord, sister.

Thank you.

Thank you for doing this for me.

Do you need a moment?

I need a lifetime.

We're gonna be okay.

But you don't have your invulnerability anymore.

God's gonna look after us.

I wish I believed that.

You know what I realized?

All this time, I've been chasing faith,

when I should have been discovering it in myself...

'cause that's where he is... in all of us.

I see him so much in you.

And he's in our baby.

And you gotta believe in us.

Pinch and swallow.

Okay.

I'll see you on the other side.

That's enough symbols

to complete the binding triangle.

Atticus should be at the lodge by now.

What happens if Christina starts her spell early?

She won't.

She needs the moon at its highest peak.

The witching hour.

Come on. Let's get to the bridge.

What's wrong? You see something?

Despite everything,

the trip here was nice. I...

I feel like I understand

the pull of family for the first time.

I'm really glad you agreed to help us at the cemetery.

Of course. You're my sister.

I caught Ruby trying to steal the potion for you.

What did you do to my sister?

She made me promise not to harm you,

and it's your fault that she's dead.

Ah!

Hey!

"He knew telling a story was a kind of power,

"but he also knew it wasn't enough.

"If they were ever truly gonna disrupt

the hierarchy of warlocks..."

"They would have to spill blood other than their own."

For what it's worth, hijacking my spell

was a good plan.

It might have worked if you had left Ruby out of it.

Where's Leti?

Where is she? Where is she?

Ahh! Ahh!

It's time.

Give it up, Leti.

Potion didn't have my blood in it.

The spell's not gonna work

unless their bodies are connected.

Oh, God.

It's not gonna work.

You bound me from magic.

Not just you...

every white person in the world.

You gonna save 'em all.

And Hanna's spell,

it's gonna change everything, baby.

Our family has protected the book for generations.

Now that falls to you.

Magic is ours now.

Montrose...

Atticus.

Come on, boy. Come on.

Atticus, come on. Let's go home.

It's over. Come on, boy.

Atticus, come on.

Tic, come on, man. Come on.

Come on, man. Come on.

Tic. Tic, come on.

Atticus!

Atticus, get up!

No.

- Tic! - Montrose.

Come on.

Come on. Tic.

He wrote this for you.

No.

Dear Pop,

I hope you'll forgive me for this one last secret.

I knew you wouldn't accept it...

but it had to be done to protect our family,

to protect us all.

"There is neither happiness nor misery in the world.

"There is only the comparison of one state with another,

"nothing more.

"He who has felt the deepest grief

is best able to experience supreme happiness."

Recognize that?

Dumas's wise words are my wish for you...

Supreme happiness.

Teach my son new ways of living,

instead of repeating what we've been through.

As little George's grandfather,

you have a second chance to be the father you always wanted.

Don't waste it.

Love, Tic.

Help! Is someone there?

Help.

Help. Help.

Dee?

Dee. Help me.

Help me. Please, Dee.

Please help me.

They still haven't learned.

Bad robot!
