Previously on
"The Nine Lives of Chloe King"...

That feeling I got when
I first saw him in the church,

it was like I was experiencing
exactly what he was feeling.

This is the longest we've spent
together since mom died.

What's that supposed to mean?

Dad, most fathers would be thrilled that their
son actually wanted to spend time with them.

I like you a lot and I
like being around you.

If you need time, I'm in no hurry.

Something tells me we're going
to be very good friends.

Alek!

Your mom, she's the leader of the Mai?

I'm sorry, Chloe, but your
life is no longer your own.

Hey! Wait up.

You're doing great.

Though I don't think an
assassin would let you take

a time out to catch your breath,

at least none of the assassins I know.

And that's why we're training.

But you can't keep stopping
to look for obstacles.

Assume they're going to
be there and improvise.

Assume invisible obstacles.
Got it.

The Order won't tell you where
the knives are gonna land.

That's why you're such
a good teacher...

Always bringing it back to
a practical application.

Think she's ready?

- Ready for what?
- I don't know.

I'm gonna say yes, but there's
only one way to find out.

Wait!

How come my opinion doesn't
count for anything?

- And I'm thinking not.
- Chloe, you can do this.

I promise. Back
up and try again.

Stop acting like a
little scaredy human.

But what if I am a
little scaredy human?

No, you're Mai. So stop thinking
and start using your instinct.

I am, and my instincts are telling
me that you people are crazy.

If Alek can do it, then
I'm pretty sure you can.

Hey.

Fine.

It generally hurts less if you
actually jump all the way across.

You didn't trust yourself. Next
time you might not be so lucky.

Not gonna be a next time.

Come on, we got a lot
more work to do.

♪ Another night to come alive ♪

♪ When worlds collide ♪

♪ I come alive ♪

Morning.

Made your favorite...
Cereal and bowl.

Some assembly required.

Oh excellent.

I was actually craving...

Unfrosted corn byproducts?

I thought I was supposed
to enjoy my youth.

What happened to that box
of sugary deliciousness?

Down your mother's gullet at 11:00 last night.

You're not the only one with cravings.

I think I'm gonna be late tonight.

It's okay. It's Wednesday.

Ah, dinner with the dos amigos, yeah.

You going to Amy's this week?

I think burgers is the plan.

Already jealous.

Oh and, Chloe, what exactly
were you doing last night?

I found your jeans on the bathroom floor

with a huge hole in 'em.

Uh, you know me. Wild child...

Slinking down alleys,
running across rooftops.

I tripped over the recycling
bin coming in the side.

How many times have I told
you that area of the...

The "are you okay?" Is implied

as is the "I love you."

- Always is. And I'm fine.
- Have a good day.

Ugh.

- For sure!
- You have to promise.

You can't tell anyone.

Devon's parents were out of town
last night, and we totally...

- Really?
- Sure did.

Yes, it's infected.
Yes, it hurt.

And yes, my mom's gonna kill
me if she ever sees it.

Coach says a 4.9 won't even get
college scouts interested.

Turn around.

- Having fun?
- I swear I'm gonna tie a bell around your neck.

Stop sneaking up on me.

Maybe you would have heard
if you weren't preoccupied.

I wasn't doing anything. I
was just going to class.

And tuning into all the gossip?

So where do you think
that tattoo actually is?

At least I think it's a
tattoo she's talking about.

Ew! And I wouldn't know.

It's just noise. I can't really control it.

We'll have to work on that.

The hearing is there to
alert you to danger.

- Meaning you?
- Meaning killers, executioners,

the assorted non-human predator.

You're not safe just because
you stopped one man.

You have to learn to
control your gifts.

It might mean the difference
between life and...

Well, for you, losing another.

Is this your long-winded,
slightly frightening way

of saying that I have
training again tonight?

- Jasmine will pick you up after work.
- Can't wait.

Has anyone ever told you
that you're a close talker?

- Just you.
- It's not a compliment.

I'll see you later.

Oh and, Chloe,

be careful.

One of these days you're gonna
hear something you won't like.

That's the third night in
a row she's blown me off.

I seriously think I might be in
the market for a new best friend.

- Hey, you.
- Hey.

You look industrious.

And before you think I'm
getting all stalkery,

this sidewalk happens to be directly
on the path between school and work...

You know, if I take the
long way around the park

and cut across divisadero.

Oh yeah, no, you didn't have to do that.

- Are you okay?
- Yeah. Sorry.

Just in the middle of working on some
stuff, getting myself organized.

Organized is good.

Um, I texted you last
night about that movie.

Blood, guts, flying limbs...
I'm in.

I think I'm gonna have
to take a rain check.

My dad...

Let's just say he's being my dad...

And that's complex.

Rain checks happily accepted.

Well, I'd better go
or I'm gonna be late.

And as of two minutes
ago, I actually am late.

- See ya.
- See ya.

Mr. Rezza, a moment
of your time.

- My employer is very upset.
- I'm sorry to hear that.

The Order does not exist to
serve your personal vendettas.

Perhaps if you had listened
when I tried to warn you...

The Mai now know of
the girl's existence.

Plans were in place,

but now she's guarded and protected.

Your involvement is no longer required.

We will dispose of the girl.

Expecting a call?

More like hoping for one.

I told Brian that we could only be friends.

And I thought he was okay with it, but...

You were being sarcastic.

Glad you caught that.

Hey, my friend Jasmine's coming by a
little before 6:00 and I was wondering...

If you could stay to the end
of your shift for a change?

It's like you're a mind reader.

Vintage. Lana.

Look, hold on one second.

- Paul.
- Hey.

You're coming tonight, right?
It's my turn to pick.

Of course. I would never miss
dinner with my two best friends.

So is everything okay,

you know, between you and me?

Paul?

Okay, to be honest, I
have been a little hurt.

While I understand there's
an unfortunate recurring

borderline racist narrative in
the American comic book pantheon

of asians being portrayed
as subservient geeks

or simply one-dimensional
kung-fu-kicking bad-asses,

- I am none of those things.
- What are you talking about?

Why haven't you asked
me to be your sidekick?

- My what?
- Your sidekick.

Your sidekick, your loyal
and trusted confidant.

You, my friend, are already
all of those things.

- Really?
- Really.

Unless I ever see you in tights.
Then the deal's off.

This conversation's over.

Chloe!

Whoops.

What's wrong?

I don't know.

For a second I just...

I felt completely terrified.

- She's not that scary.
- No.

It's like I was feeling
what she was feeling.

She's the one who's terrified.

I know, I know...

Uh, whatever that weird sense
thing is you got going on...

...You might wanna get it adjusted.

But I don't even
know what it is.

So you're saying you can
read people's minds?

No, I can't tell what
they're thinking.

I literally feel what they're
feeling on an emotional level.

But I can't control it.
It just happens.

See, this is the part where you say,
"oh yeah, I get that all the time.

It's a Mai thing. It's so not a big deal."

Sorry, I've never heard
of anything like it.

Great, so my powers came with
an extra scoop of freak.

That Chloe, always an overachiever.

Chloe, I really don't think
it's anything to worry about.

But if it'll make you feel
better, we can talk to my mom.

Hey, either of you
"Lana Jacobs"?

No, sorry. She left about
a half an hour ago.

I guess that's why the instructions
say to be here by 4:00.

Do you need me to
sign for something?

I wish you could, but
they're cupcakes,

and these things go
stale pretty quick.

And there is a god.

They included her home address.

411 arden.

She moved, like, two weeks ago.

I'll write it down for you.

Thanks, I really appreciate that.

I think she could use a little cheering up.

Here you go.

All right. Have a good one.

- What the hell?
- Chloe!

What's the matter with you?

I have no idea.

It's like I was possessed.

The second he touched me, I just
felt this huge, giant wave of rage.

I just... I don't know
how else to describe it.

- That must have been so frightening.
- For me and him.

I mean, he just
kind of took off.

I wanted to go after
him, but Jasmine...

Was right to bring you to me.

At this moment he's the
least of your problems.

Something's wrong
with me, Valentina.

Really wrong.

I think if Jasmine
hadn't been there,

I... I might have
tried to kill him.

And perhaps you would have.

So it's imperative that you
learn to control this.

How am I supposed to control this
when I don't even know what this is?

- Valentina?
- Do you know what the word "empathy" means?

Yeah, it's like if your friend feels
bad, then you feel bad for them.

Close.

Empathy is directly
experiencing the emotions

of another person.

You, my child, are an empath.

Like being Mai and the
Uniter wasn't enough?

Or more likely you have this
gift because you are the Uniter.

Some of the very old legends claim that
all Mai were once capable of this.

It's what bonded us to humans.

It's not surprising that
you possess this quality.

You are the embodiment
of all that is Mai.

So if I tried with you right now...

No, it was something that passed
only between Mai and humans.

But it doesn't even work right.

I thought Lana was terrified
and she was laughing.

And the delivery guy was
maybe kind of annoyed,

but he certainly wasn't
out to kill anybody.

I know that you don't want to hear this,

but perhaps you should limit
your contact with humans.

What am I gonna do? Ignore
my family and friends?

I'm not saying forever. Just until
we have a better understanding.

Ugh, my friends!
Do you know what time it is?

- Chloe.
- I've gotta go.

Enough bad things have happened today
without adding one more to the list.

Go.

Oh! Supersized sorry.

Mm-hmm.

So I guess cats can't read clocks.

Amy, you're not gonna
believe what happened.

Did Jasmine tell you what's
going on with the mind melding?

You already ate?

Yeah, that's usually what we
do when we go out to dinner.

- Please don't be this way.
- And which way is that?

Is it possible to get back

- to the crazy superpower portion of our evening?
- No.

Look, I know I've been a little flaky lately,

but you didn't really mean it

when you said you might
be in the market

for a new best friend, did you?

Who told you that?

I can't believe you
told her that.

No, it wasn't Paul. I just heard it.
I'm sorry.

This hearing thing isn't
quite under control yet.

What else have you
been listening to?

Have you ever heard of
invasion of privacy?

Amy, you're missing the point.

No, I get it. And a: Obviously
I didn't really mean it.

Now I think I just might.

The Chloe I know would never
do something like that

or treat her friends this way.
I gotta go.

I told the dads I wouldn't be late.

Some sidekick.

She's my ride.

Hey, kiddo. Sorry I'm late.

Crazy day. How was dinner?

- I didn't actually make it.
- Really?

I thought wednesdays
were practically sacred.

Are you gonna get
on my case now too?

No, I am too tired to
get on anyone's case.

Sorry.

I just feel like...

Do you ever have one of those days

where you feel a little out of control?

Frequently.

- Wanna talk?
- Amy's pissed.

- Angry.
- Amy's mad at me for reasons only known to Amy.

Well, she's not used to waiting in line.

You've been spending all that
time with your new friends.

And now you sound like her.

But it's not like she and Paul haven't
been surgically joined at the hip.

Maybe you're just going through
a little adjustment period.

I mean, as people grow up, sometimes...

Do not finish that sentence.

She's my best friend.

Then I'm not quite sure
what we're talking about.

You don't understand.

No, it doesn't seem like I do.

- Anything else bothering you?
- No. Why?

It's just a sense.

But since you don't seem to be in the mood

for spilling secrets or
seeking motherly wisdom,

I'm gonna close up shop and go to bed.

But if you change your mind,

I will be open again in the morning.

- 'Night.
- 'Night.

Look, I know I asked for help,

but this is like 600 radio
stations playing at once.

I'll never be able to do it.

- Pick something.
- I can't.

- Just do what I tell you.
- Highly suspicious.

Don't be. Now close your eyes.

It's so loud.

Hello?

Ignore it. Listen to your breathing...

The air going in and out of your body.

Take your time.

The rest of the world doesn't matter.

There's only you and me.

Can you hear the clock?
Top of the tower.

- Alek.
- You can do this.

I can hear it.

There's a woman in the market
haggling with a vendor.

All right, how about we do two for $50?

Now make it all go away.

You are in charge of
the world around you.

- I don't know.
- Listen to my heartbeat.

Just that...

And nothing else.

Did it work?

Yeah, it um... it worked.

Thanks.

- Hey. Is Chloe around?
- Not yet.

Thought she was always
here in the afternoon.

You and me both.

Well, could you just tell her that...

Poised and ready.

Never mind.

I'll just give her a call.
Thank you.

Sorry. I had to stay late
for this class thing.

Your guy just left two seconds ago.

- Brian?
- Chloe.

You and I need to talk.

What happened here yesterday?

- You heard about that?
- I heard about it

and somehow he thinks I'm the
one who put you up to it.

The delivery guy?

- Why would he think that?
- What delivery guy?

How many guys did you
knock over in here?

- I'm talking about Jesse.
- You know him?

Wish I didn't, but yeah.

He's my ex.

I'm sorry. He never said he knew you,

and he had your wrong address, so I...

Wait. You're the one who
gave him my new address?

I was trying to help.

- He's the reason I moved out in the first place.
- I'm sorry.

- I didn't know.
- Chloe, this is so screwed up.

He's never gonna
leave me alone now.

He's the reason you're
so scared, isn't it?

- What are you talking about? This is none of your business.
- But I'm right, aren't I?

Seriously, I'm warning you.
Let it go.

Lana, you have to do something.
I can help.

You know what would help? If you just
grabbed your stuff and you got out.

- I'm being serious.
- So am I.

Chloe, you're fired.

It didn't actually make
sense until that moment.

You seem almost excited
you got fired.

No, don't you get it?
It means I was right.

What I felt about Lana was right.

It's still very weird, but
it's not completely wrong.

Has to make you feel better.

Bo staff...

Nunchucks, iodine... I
think we're good to go.

- Shouldn't I have something to fight with?
- No.

Avoidance.

Sometimes the best way to take a blow
is to not be there when it lands.

Okay, crazy teenage ninja girl,

don't you ever get tired
of hitting me with things?

All the time, but my mom
tasked me with training you.

Hmm, what if I work
"avoidance" into a sentence

and act like I took a bamboo pole to
the head the next time I see her?

Then can we skip?

And what do you
wanna do instead?

Spoons are in the top drawer.

So Jesse must have called Lana that
afternoon when I got that feeling off her.

That's why she was so upset.

And if he's going around town
pretending to be a delivery guy

- to get her address... total nutjob, right?
- Mm-hmm.

- Mm.
- Mm, so good.

Hey, you said that the Mai
are always watching me,

you know, to make sure I'm safe.

Could I get a couple of
them to watch Lana instead?

Chloe, Lana can take care of herself.

I'm more worried...

What?

I don't think my mom's been
completely honest with you.

It wasn't just that one scarface creep.

The Order's back.

They're here in San Francisco.
They're here for you.

I just get worried.

And I appreciate it.

I know this isn't the
life you were expecting.

It's not all bad.

Is it bad if I have a little bit of each?

Not at all. And I had to guess
at what you might like.

You so didn't have to do this.

I know, but I wanted to apologize for
being kind of rude the other day.

You weren't rude.

My head was just kind
of somewhere else.

- Believe me, it's okay.
- No no, it's not.

We had that whole conversation
about being friends,

and which I'm fine with.

The truth is I actually don't
have any friends here,

which means that I don't
really have anyone to talk to.

You can talk to me.

I know.

This is...

This is the reason I came home.

What's it to?

I think a safety deposit box,

but I haven't been able
to figure out where yet.

My mom supposedly was killed...

In a mugging that went bad,

but parts of it just
never made sense to me.

I felt like my dad was never
telling me the whole story.

But where'd you get the key?

It showed up at school

about a month ago with a note on it...

"Do you really know what
happened to your mother?"

At first I thought it
was some sick joke,

but then I realized
I'm not really sure.

So now I'm here

and I'm gonna stay
until I figure it out.

I'm glad you told me.

Me too. Feels good talking about it.

It's been bothering me for years.

I guess I kind of felt like I just
had to do something about it.

I know the feeling.

Lana!

Lana, are you okay?

- What are you doing here?
- Did you tell them about Jesse?

- Why would I do that?
- Lana, come on, he had to have done this.

I really just want
him to go away.

- You have to tell the police.
- Tell them what?

That I think some guy who
can't quite grasp the concept

of "I never wanna see you
again" broke in here?

Why, to teach me a lesson?

He may be a major-league jerk
with some serious control issues,

- but he's not violent.
- What do you call this?

I don't know. My boss is gonna kill me.

I was just hoping if I ignore him...

This is already embarrassing enough.

Please, let me deal with this on my own.

- Lana.
- I'm a big girl, Chloe.

I can handle myself.

What's going on? Is
everything okay?

No, everything is not okay.

- Lana...
- Her ex-boyfriend's terrorizing her.

I'm almost sure he's the one
who broke into the store.

So you were totally right.

Was there ever any question?

I just have to figure out what to do.

Maybe you should call Alek and Jasmine.

I'm sure they can help
you make it all better.

Amy, look, I'm sorry if...

No, I'm not gonna say it,

'cause I'm pretty much done apologizing.

You said that the Chloe you know
would never do this or act this way.

Well, newsflash: I'm not
the same old Chloe.

We can pretend that I am, but
we all know it's not true.

You've always been my best friend.

And if it's up to me, you always will be.

But you have to accept me as I am now,

faults, claws and all.

If you can't, I get it.

Not happy, but I get it.

And the next time you get jealous

of the time I spend with Alek and Jasmine,

try and remember that I'm only doing it

so I don't have to die again.

Hello again.

You know the police are, like, 2' away.

Call them. I'd love to tell them how
you assaulted me the other night

- for absolutely no reason.
- Stay away from her.

What happens between me and
Lana is none of your business.

But if you don't back off,

I'll make sure that you're my business.

Don't be an idiot.

If he ever comes within 10' of you again,
I will personally rip out his lungs.

How about you just keep
him away from Lana?

Chloe, I know you've
already been warned.

This isn't your fight.

- You've gotta get your priorities straight.
- I can't just walk away.

There's nothing else you can do.

Now please just go home.

- But Lana...
- You heard her.

She can take care of herself.

Stop watching me.

You know I can't do that.

Oh my god.

Chloe, why didn't you tell
me all of this was going on?

I don't think I was
completely sure until now.

Well, now that you know,
you are gonna stay

far far away from this whole situation.

- But, mom...
- No, I don't think you understand

how dangerous a guy like this can be.

If Lana doesn't call the police, I will.

But what if that makes it worse?

Doing nothing seldom
makes problems go away.

- This is what's been bothering you, isn't it?
- What?

I knew something was up with you.

I just... I didn't know what it was.

How did you know?

Face it, kid, we're bonded.

You feel bad or sad, I feel bad or sad,

even if I don't know the reason.

I can't even help it.

I think that means you're empathic.

No, that means I'm your mother.

You know, you don't have to go
through all this stuff alone.

We, you and me, are a team.

Thanks.

Go, team us.

Do you think Lana's gonna be okay?

I honestly don't know.

I hope so.

And I know you wanna help,

but right now it's up to Lana.

You've let her know you're there.

But it's her life. She has
to take control of it.

I don't know if it's always that easy.

What the hell do you think you're doing?

Nothing. Just hanging out,

hoping to catch a glimpse of the old man.

I noticed mom's picture isn't out anymore.

Well, sometimes it's best
not to live in the past.

It was hard seeing her smiling face

staring up at me every day like
nothing bad had ever happened.

I keep the one of the three of us...

That summer on the boat. I
keep that next to my bed.

It was a good trip.

Maybe we can do it again.

Finally catch that marlin.

It'd be good to get away
together one of these days.

I'm glad you're home.

Thanks.

Me too.

Hey, Lana, me again.

The fifth message, but I'm worried.

So just call me, please?

Amy?

Before you say anything, you
were right and I was wrong.

I was the one being a bad friend.
I was afraid of losing you.

- Amy...
- I was completely self-involved.

I wasn't even trying to see
things from your point of view.

- Amy!
- What?

I need you. Can you come over?

I'm outside in my car waiting
for you to forgive me, dummy.

You're the one who said
you wanted to go fast

to make sure we're not being followed.

I'm pretty sure we lost them.

Look, Amy, I know it's not the
best time, but I am deeply...

And we can deeply make up and forgive each
other after you make sure Lana's okay.

I just wanna check on her.
If you see him coming...

You're number one on my speed dial.
Now go.

I didn't tell you
you could come here.

You don't have
to tell me anything.

I can do what I want, and
I want to talk to you.

I'm done talking about this.
Let's go.

I'm not going anywhere.

Lana!

Lana!

I told you to stay out of this.

I told you to stay away from her.

I can see why Lana broke up with you.

Not only are you a sarcastic jerk,

but you're kind of slow.

- Rawr!
- Uh!

Aw, see, normally I'd apologize,

but I decided to stop doing that today.

It's time somebody
taught you some manners.

Well, you sure as hell are
not the one to do it.

- Are you okay?
- Yeah. You?

So much better. Thank you.

I suppose this means I have
to give you your job back.

That's supposed to be my job.

I should have been there, not her.

- No offense.
- None taken.

Well, there's only one problem.

- What's that?
- You don't have a car.

- Hey.
- We've been looking everywhere for you.

Just been here waiting for you.

Don't we have some training to do?

And make sure you don't leave
out any of the important stuff.

Chloe has to know how to protect herself.

- That's what we've been trying...
- He doesn't have a car.

Let's go. I'll call you later.

Who the hell are you?

How did you get in here?

He's very handsome.
Looks a lot like you.

You shouldn't leave guns lying
around the house. Very dangerous.

I just wanted you to know

that if the girl is so much as touched...

That I know where to find you

and your son.

Get out of my house.

Remember, whether we
see each other again

is entirely up to you.

I hear you've been taking
some unnecessary risks.

I knew I could make that jump.

I meant this afternoon with your friend.

That could have ended
very differently.

- It was important to me.
- I understand.

Your human friends are
important to you.

And I'd do it again.

You keep telling me to follow my instincts.

That's what I did.

I might not always understand them,

but I have to learn to trust them.

I know I might not be the kind
of Uniter you were hoping for,

but this is the one you've got.

You're exactly the kind
that we were hoping for.

Maybe it's time Mai and
humans stopped living

in different worlds.

It's not gonna be easy, Chloe.

So much hope and so much
fear all in one girl.

Like it or not, the whole
world is coming for you.

Then let it come.
