♪ ♪

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

I hear you've been
taking some unnecessary risks.

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

but this is the one you've got.

You really like this
guy, don't you?

I really do. He
also has an amazing smile.

Mom, he left over 10 years ago.
I'm good.

You've been here the whole time?

Of course. You asked me to.

I think I'm falling in love with you.

I just can't. I don't think
I can see you anymore.

Chloe, wait. Chloe.

Oh my god, Chloe, I'm so sorry.

Me too.

Did he really say he was
falling in love with you?

Yeah...

He did.

And more than anything in the
world I wanted to say it back.

It was one of the best and worst
moments of my entire life.

- But can't you just...
- No, Amy.

There's no more "can't I just." I had to.

I didn't have any other choice.

He almost kissed me

and I almost let him.

It's so unfair.

Welcome to Chloe's world.

Heads up.

Potential shoplifter at 10:00.

Can I help you find something?

No, I'm okay.

You should call him.

Talking on the phone won't
get you into any trouble.

No, but it will lead to further
amounts of excessive pain.

I'll be fine.

Okay, grunge boy is
definitely up to something.

He can't stop looking at you.

We're closing in a couple of minutes.

Chloe?

- What happened? Are you okay?
- No.

Heart pounding, palm sweating...

He's completely terrified.

Hey, if you're hungry, help yourself.

It's oatmeal raisin.

No, that's okay.

Are you sure? I'm just
gonna throw it away.

Thanks.

- Chloe.
- Kai.

Hi.

- Go!
- Hey.

What are you doing?
Don't hurt him!

Chloe!

What just happened?

We just saved you a life.

♪ Another night to come alive ♪

♪ When worlds collide ♪

♪ I come alive ♪

Okay, that was most
definitely not normal.

That kid has got to get a dentist.
What was that?

That was a Jackal.

- A what?
- A Jackal... the offspring of Anubis,

the ancient god of the dead.

Jackals are easily the most filthy
and disgusting race on the planet.

Nothing but scavengers
and murderers.

Wait, you mean there are more
than just humans and Mai?

Of course. Don't be an idiot.

But Jackals truly are the dregs of society.

They're also the Mais' mortal enemy.

Oh great. So in addition to
The Order trying to kill me,

I also have mortal enemies?

Mine is my cousin kyung-dai,
but yours is so much cooler.

- Not a competition, Paul.
- There's nothing cool about a Jackal.

He'll steal your wallet just as
easily as he'll rip out your throat.

And they also reek.
Couldn't you smell that?

It's fairly instinctual.

Other than the aroma of a
slightly unwashed boy,

he didn't smell that bad.

Are you sure you're right about him?

I mean, yes, the teeth...
Obviously not completely human,

but I got a feeling off of him, and
it wasn't, "mm, you look tasty."

She said he felt terrified.

I would be too if I was a Jackal

and I walked into a store full of Mai.

But that was before you even got here.

You felt something?

I thought your empathy
only worked on humans.

Well, it works on these Jackal things too.

And it's telling me that he's
not a crazed killing machine.

He's just a scared kid.

So scared, not scared...
Doesn't really matter.

But say your average citizen were
to encounter one on the street.

Is this a sprinkle-them-
with-holy-water situation

or more of a hit-him-across-
the-nose-with-a-rolled-up-newspaper kind of thing?

Try running away in abject terror.

If a Jackal wants you dead,

there's nothing you can do to stop it.

They truly are animals.

And clearly you have no interest in
listening to anything I have to say,

so I'm gonna go.

Chloe, wait.

I'm sorry.

I know you think we overreacted,
but you have to understand...

We've never seen one in
San Francisco before.

Well, I can pretty much guarantee
he won't be coming back.

You can't be sure of that.

At least let me walk you home.

I can take care of myself.

- Chloe.
- Really, you shouldn't worry about me so much.

I can't help it.

I don't have a choice. It's
what I'm supposed to do.

Alek,

I'll be fine.

You can take the night off.

Are you absolutely positive?

Mom some things you just know for sure.

Even though I've never seen one in person,

that was a Jackal.

Not nearly as imposing as
I thought it would be.

Imposing enough that you
weren't able to catch it.

We tried. Or at least I tried.

One of us was too busy knocking Chloe
to the ground to be much help.

You're actually giving me a hard
time for trying to save the Uniter?

Sorry, but I kind of
thought that was my job.

At least neither of you was hurt.

That seldom happens when you
come across one of those things.

Do you really think it's here for Chloe?

Quite a coincidence if it wasn't.

They have their spaces. We have ours.

But I'll send out some hunters.
They'll find it.

Chloe said she could read its feelings.

She empathized with a Jackal?

That can't be right.

Tell that to Chloe.

She seems to have befriended it.

Agh! Have you seen my phone?

Uh, on the microwave.

It hasn't been buzzing quite
as much these last few days.

- What's up with you and Brian?
- Absolutely nothing.

- Sit.
- Mom, no. Please don't. It...

I want to know what's going on.
I want to know what happened.

I honestly thought that he would go
down in history as your first love.

Let's just say it was a short chapter.

We just want different things.

It's okay. Heart's slightly bruised,

but no long-term damage.

Hi.

- 'Morning.
- The gate was open,

- so, uh, one for you...
- Ah! Home delivery... I like it.

And I'm assuming that you're Chloe,

so that means this one is for you.

- I'm Frank.
- Hi. Chloe, uh, obviously.

Sorry, I spilled half of this
all over me on the way up.

- Let me just wash my hands.
- He's so cute.

- I know.
- There.

- Frank Cabrera. Nice to meet you, Chloe.
- Likewise.

Well, I'm gonna go,

but maybe I'll see you again.

- Thanks for the coffee.
- Not a problem.

We'll finish our conversation later.

I think we're done.

Bye.

- Make good choices.
- You too.

Are you ready to be amazed?

Whoa.

That's just what I
thought it was going to be.

Cheers.

Tall, chiseled and with an accent.

Well done, mother Meredith.

I'll tell her you approve.

Did you know that Anubis was
also the god of mummification

and that his teeth were black because
that's the color of rotting flesh?

That's disgusting. And why do you know this?

Pardon me for having a curious mind.

I thought you'd be interested.

Honestly, not at all.

What's wrong? Are you okay?

Sorry. I just, um, looked up for a second

and thought I saw Brian.

I'm just not ready to see him yet.

It's okay.

I don't know what I'd say.

I thought the whole point
of breaking it off with him

was that you didn't want to say anything.

Hmm. There you go.

Problem solved.

I've got to get to work.

I'll talk to you guys later.

Chloe?

What is the matter with you?

With me?

Talking about him endlessly is not
going to help her feel any better.

Chloe has always
been there for us.

- We have to do something.
- Any suggestions?

What?

I'd love to come in. Thank you.

I'm with her.

18 floors up, doorman,
locked elevator.

Just in case it wasn't clear...
Not a big fan of visitors.

Too bad. This is your fault and
now you need to help me fix it.

How can whatever it is be my fault?
I haven't done anything.

- You'd be surprised what can end up being your fault.
- Put that down.

So cool.

I don't mean you you. I mean Mai you.

Chloe is miserable
and heartbroken.

She needs her life back.
It's totally unfair...

Heartbroken? Why is
she heartbroken?

Because of your stupid curse.

She just told Brian she
can never see him again.

Really?

Really.

And I should care about this why?

Because you care about Chloe.
She's in love with him.

Well, it looks like she
made the wrong choice.

Hey, what's this?

There has to be some way
around this not-kissing thing.

A loophole, a cure, a countermeasure...
Something.

Chloe can either be with a Mai
or she can be with no one.

You like her.

So if she can't date humans,

aren't there some other semi-cool
Mai guys you can introduce her to?

Wait, do you guys have a website
or a roster or something?

No... no website.

Hey.

What are you guys doing here?

They're all yours.

No, please... please don't hurt me.

They're trying to kill me.
I need your help.

Look, I just want to get home,
back to my brothers and my dad.

He warned me. He said it wasn't safe,

but I'd just never been to the city before.

And I just wanted to see it.
But right when I got here...

What happened?

Who did that to you?

A couple of Mai hunters.

I barely got away.

You know I'm Mai, right?

Yeah, but you're different.

You didn't even react when
I came into your store.

I mean, maybe you're
just playing with me.

And maybe you are going
to rip my heart out

when I'm done talking
to you, but...

That's what you think... that
I'll rip your heart out?

I don't know, it's...
it's just what I was told.

I won't hurt you.

I promise.

Come on,

you can't stay out here.

Shh!

Oh hey, kiddo.

When did you get home? I
didn't even hear you come in.

A few minutes ago.
Kind of worked late.

Can you do me a favor?

I'm having dinner with Frank tonight
and he should be here any minute,

so would you please play
the dutiful daughter

and look out for him while
I finish getting ready?

Sure. Not a problem.

You okay?

Yeah. Fine. Great.

- Frank patrol. Got it.
- Thanks.

Oh, and Chloe, try
not to scare him.

Your mom's not Mai?

Nope. And she doesn't know that I am,

so let's try to keep it to ourselves.

Sure.

Um, nice place.

Thanks. I like it.

We pretty much just keep moving.

Never really staying in one place very long.

- I'm sorry. I didn't know.
- Oh no, that's all right.

You can't know what it feels
like to be hunted all the time.

You'd be surprised.

Chloe, the door.

I'm on it. Um...

Here, you can get yourself cleaned up.

It's a towel... for the shower.

You just turn the knobs
and water comes out.

I know what a shower is.

And I beg of you, just
please please be quiet.

There is no possible way
I could ever explain...

This.

Okay.

So where are you two going to dinner?

Koi in north beach.

Mmm, fancy Sushi. I approve.

And what time can I expect
that you'll have my mom home?

I would say around 12:30.

- 12:00?
- Better.

But it's Friday so I'll let it slide.

I guess this is the part

where I'm supposed to ask
you about your intentions.

That's an easy one...
To make her happy.

Good answer.

I've actually liked your mom for a while.

She can be a little hard to get close to.

She's the boss... lots of responsibilities.

But she smiles

and then you can see inside
just a little bit...

It's beautiful.

Sorry.

As my daughter would be
very quick to tell me,

"T.M.I."

Oh oh, it's okay.

You and my mom will get along great.

You're both big on the oversharing.

Ready! I'm so sorry to keep you waiting.

Some things are worth waiting for.

You look amazing.

Thanks. You too.

Homework, dishes, garbage. Don't wait up.

Knock knock. Just me.

New plan... movies, Chinese.
Try not to stay up too too late.

- And I love you.
- Implied.

- Have a good time.
- I will. Hey.

Oh yes, right, sorry.
Amy, Frank.

Frank, this is Amy, my
occasional second child.

- Hi.
- Oh, and Frank,

I'm sure Chloe is too polite to say it,

but you hurt her, you will live to regret it.

Sorry.

I promise to be on my best behavior.

Good night, girls.

Okay, it is so wrong that my mom
has a better love life than I do.

Don't talk like that.
I'm here with a plan.

But first I give you Kung Pao
and Gosling... as in Ryan.

Oh my god.

What are you doing down here?

Someone is rebounding nicely.

- Can I drop this in the wash?
- It's not what you think.

He... uh, mom.

Quick, hide him.
Go go go go go go.

That was fast.
What'd you forget?

Oh. Uh, my phone.

I'm Amy.

Kai.

We saw each other yesterday
at the clothing store.

- Mom, he's waiting.
- You like him, right?

I mean, you think he's nice?

Oh, yeah yeah, he's great.
Love him. Now go.

Okay.

But see, I feel like
you're just saying that.

You know I could never get serious
with anyone you didn't like.

Mom...

The most important thing is
whether or not you like him.

But for the record,

I think he's a really nice guy.

And he makes you smile,

which is a very good thing.

Yes.

I love you. Now go.

- Bye, mom.
- Have fun.

I think you smell pretty good.

She's gone.

Unbelievable.

What?

I know he's supposed to
be your mortal enemy,

but I think he's kind of sweet.

Are you sure you can trust him?

I know I'm not supposed to,

but I really do.

So are they allowed to kiss humans?

You're shameless.

Is it wrong that I have
a curious mind too?

Uh-huh. I don't think it's
your mind that's curious.

Ah!

But I'm hoping he won't be here
long enough for you to find out.

I'm gonna make sure he gets home safe.

He didn't come here to hurt anybody.

I just wish they could understand that.

Well, maybe Valentina will.

She has to.

But if she doesn't...

Then I think it's time I
finally play the Uniter card.

Have you completely lost your mind?

I don't think you understand what
these things are capable of.

I'm not talking about all of them.
I'm talking about this one.

- And you don't even know him.
- It doesn't matter.

- They're soulless killing machines.
- And ironically,

I think they'd say the
same thing about you.

My decision is for your own good.
I won't allow it.

Thank you.

Okay, maybe I wasn't
being completely clear.

I didn't come here to ask permission.

I came here to tell you what I'm doing.

I'm gonna take him back to his family
and no one is going to hurt him.

Look, I understand that you have, like,

a 3,000-year-old feud going on...

A truly Jurassic grudge...

But I understand how he feels...
Literally.

If you hadn't found me when you did, I
don't know what would've happened to me.

- Let his own people rescue him.
- Fine.

If you let them into the
city, I'm sure they will.

You told me to trust my instincts.

You all have.

Well, my instincts are
telling me to help Kai.

I'm right about this. I know it.

Returning this... this boy

is obviously very important to you.

You're not really going to
let her do this, are you?

It doesn't appear that I
have much of a choice.

- But I do have a request.
- I'm listening.

If you take Alek and Jasmine with you,

- then you have my blessing.
- It... it's okay?

That's... that's awesome.

Thank you.

So tomorrow morning then.

This is insane. You're the one
who said it wasn't a coincidence

- that it found Chloe.
- She could lose a life or worse.

But you're both going to make
sure that doesn't happen.

Once it tells you where
the rest of the Jackals

are hiding, you'll
text me immediately.

I'll have a dozen of our
best hunters standing by.

Under no circumstance are you and
Chloe to engage the Jackals.

You are not to go anywhere near them.
Is that understood?

Mom, we gave Chloe our word.

She might be the Uniter,

but she doesn't yet understand
the world that we live in.

The Jackals must all be destroyed.

Hey, how'd it go?

Did you actually wait up for me?

Mmm, yes and no.

I couldn't sleep and I wanted
to make sure you got home safe.

So?

It was nice.

And that's all you're
gonna give me?

Okay fine. You want details?

We talked for maybe
three hours straight.

We laughed so much,

the people at the other
tables kept giving us looks.

I really like him.

He reminds me of what it was like

before your dad.

I'm glad. And now, curiosity satisfied,

I'm going to bed.

Good night.

I miss him too, you know.

Mom.

There is not a day that goes by that
I don't think about your dad...

Or want to know what happened

or what went wrong between us.

Maybe it had nothing to do with you at all.

I just wish that after all this time

I could go out for a night like this

without feeling so... so...

Guilty.

But there's nothing for
you to feel guilty about.

For a long time, it's
just been you and me.

You've spent half your
life taking care of me.

And I love you for that.

But I'm not a little kid anymore.

Things are changing

and you need to have your own life.

But I don't want things
to change between us.

It'll be okay.

We'll change together.

I love you.

Alek, what are you doing here?

Just checking in... making
sure you and your visitor

are tucked in for the night.

- He's sleeping in the attic.
- I know.

I can smell him.

You're probably going to want to have
the place fumigated once he's gone.

And speaking of being gone...

I don't get it.

Why do you care?

Why is he so important to you?

You said that watching out
for me what your job.

Well, I have one too.

I'm the Uniter.

And I think it's time I
started doing just that.

I'm not saying all Jackals are good,

but deep down, I know that Kai is.

This is what I'm supposed to do.

I'll see you in the morning.

Hey?

I'm really glad you're coming with me.

Careful.

Oh. I wondered when you
were going to let me out.

- I'm just gonna grab my jacket.
- Okay.

This doesn't feel right.

I think we should text her now.

And tell her what?

That we're on the waterfront?
Not real specific.

- So I was thinking...
- Uh-oh.

Do not "uh-oh" me before you even
know what I was going to say.

Go on.

You and Brian can
never be together.

Wow, thanks for
clearing that up.

Let me finish.

I know I was encouraging
you, but that was wrong.

You just need to put it all behind you.

And I'm supposed to do that by
talking about it obsessively?

Chloe, I'm just saying that maybe you need

to start thinking about things differently.

Maybe you should think
about dating a Mai guy.

A Mai guy?

You're not about to burst
into song, are you?

Mmm, I just want
you to be happy.

Any particular Mai guy?

You're not actually suggesting
that I go out with Alek, are you?

I'm just saying it's
something you should think about.

- That's a bad habit.
- What?

Listening to other
people's conversations.

So are you really okay with this?

I think we can handle our own
against a couple of Jackals.

No, I mean lying to Chloe.

She'll understand.

Show offs.

We've been walking for an hour.
Where the hell are we going?

Not far. We're almost there.

We found some space in the
abandoned rail terminal.

You can almost see it.

We've gone this far. Don't you think he
can manage the last part on his own?

No, I said I'd bring him home...

All the way home.

I want to make sure his
family's still there.

You don't actually need us to hold
your hand the whole way home, do you?

Come or don't come... up to you.

We're coming.

So here's a question for you...

In a straight-up cage fight
between a Mai and a Jackal,

who comes out on top?

Jackal every time.

Oh my god.

Chloe.

Kai, what's wrong?

This wasn't like this.
Somebody's been here.

It was the Mai.

They left their Mark.

You promised.

- Dad!
- Kai, wait!

How could you?

- Stay here.
- Chloe, no!

Is it bad that we just wait here?

Nope, not bad at all.

- Come on!
- Go get them.

We have to find her. Where
are those damn hunters?

They're not coming.
I didn't text Valentina.

- Why not?
- We gave Chloe our word.

Alek, do it now.

There's no signal and
there's no time to go back.

- I'm sorry.
- Just find her.

Where are they? Are they all right?

Chloe, help!

It's a trap.

I didn't have a choice.

Amy!

Paul!

Get out of here.

- Now!
- Come on.

Right or left? Right or left?

It doesn't matter. Just go.

Impressive.

Ooh, watch your head.

Chloe!

Amy?

Paul? Anybody?

This doesn't look like the way out.

Amy, Paul, this way...
Hurry. Come on.

Chloe, watch out!

Ah, so this is what the Mai

are offering up as their savior, huh?

Let me go. I've
done nothing to you.

And I'm gonna make sure
that you never will.

You're next.

- Stay away from her.
- Alek, no!

Alek! Alek!

Put him down.

Alek.

Please stop.

- Had enough?
- Not until you let her go.

Not a chance.

Then we're not finished.

- I think we are!
- Stop it.

You're killing him.

Stop it.

Let him go, please.

Let them all go.

I'm the only one you care about.

- Chloe!
- Jasmine.

Chloe, you can't. Chloe.

Dad, don't do it.

She's not like the rest of the Mai.
Everything you said about her is wrong.

- Shut up, boy.
- She just offered her life up for humans.

She helped me get home. Doesn't
that tell you something?

Only that she's not so bright.

She's their Uniter.

She lives and we're all dead.

Wrong, not everyone... just you.

No!

Piece of advice...

You might want to listen
to your son more often.

Let her go.

Chloe, I don't know what to say.

Just say that next time
will be different.

Let's go.

- Are you all right?
- I'll be fine.

That was stupid...

And amazing.

Why'd you do that?

If anything had happened to you...

If you had...

I couldn't live with myself.

Where have you been?

My god.

What happened? Are you all right?

- I'm fine.
- Chloe... is she safe?

She's home. All good.

Why didn't you contact us?

I never texted...

It's my fault. It was a trap.

I wanted to get closer and
walked us right into it.

It was too late to reach the hunters.
I'm sorry.

It was all Alek could
do to save Chloe.

The Jackals escaped. We won't
find them there again.

Is this true?

It's true.

It seems there is no end to the ways

in which you disappoint me.

Why'd you do that?

Why'd you take the blame?

It's just easier.

She's more than willing to think

that I'm the one that screwed it up.

We can't tell her we
disobeyed a direct order.

You didn't.

I did.

But I think you did the right thing.

You do?

Yes.

You're going to have to be careful.

What's that supposed to mean?

It means you have feelings for Chloe.

And those feelings could
get us into trouble.

Don't let them cloud your judgment.

Get some rest.

I'm sorry I'm late.

I know I'm supposed to
call when that happens.

It's just...

Mom?

Are you okay?

Can we talk?

Mom?

Mom, what's happening?
What is this?

It's a petition to declare
death in absentia.

I don't understand.
What do you mean?

It's what I have to sign to officially

declare your father dead.

You want to have dad declared dead?

It's been 10 years...
10 years without word...

Nothing.

I can't do this anymore.

We have to face the truth...

He's not coming back.

Now I know this is hard,

but I need this.

We need this.

And you were right...
I need to move forward.

Mom?

I won't sign this if
you don't want me to.

We have to do this together.

And I don't need an answer now.

We can talk about it when you're ready.
