Emma: Norman. You're alive!

Norman: Mm.

I am.

( Emma crying )

Norman: You're okay.

I missed you so, so much.

Emma: Me, too.

I'm so glad you're alive, so glad.

Hang on a sec.

You really are Norman, aren't you?

You're not like his twin or a ghost or something?

Are you? 'Cause, like...

we all saw you get shipped out.

( Norman sighs )

I swear it's me.

They sent me to a different farm.

How did you--( gasps )

Emma: Oh. Yeah, that.

I had to get rid of the tracker.

That's how I escaped from the House.

I took Ray's out, too.

Norman: Hey.

( Emma and Norman gasp )

Norman: That was rude.

You didn't even say hello to me first.

See anything cool?

Ray: Yeah, thanks to you.

I'm glad you're alive.

( crying )

But don't you ever try and get yourself killed again.

You got it, dumb-ass?

( Norman grunts )

Yeah. I got it...

dumb-ass.

( cloth flutters )

( wind blowing )

Gilda: No way!

Don: Whoa. Norman.

Nat: Y-You were alive?

A-All this time?

Anna: Oh, my gosh.

( Yvette gasps )

Children: Norman! ( laughing )

Mark: I'm so glad!

Yvette: You're back!

Norman: Wow, guys. You all got bigger.

( gasps ) Where are the rest?

Emma: We left the others back at the House with Phil.

The plan was to go back for them.

Norman: Hmm.

What about the coordinates the pen gave?

Was it a shelter?

Ray: Yeah, it was this nifty old bunker,

but a search party found us, so we had to get out of there.

Norman: That's unfortunate.

Gilda: Norman, wh-where were they keeping you all this time?

( Norman sighs )

( cloth scrapes )

( all gasp )

Norman: I was at Lambda Seven-two-one-four.

It's a farm where they experiment on kids.

Emma: Lambda?

Don: Experiment?

Norman: Remember...

that last night when Mom took me to the gate?

She handed me over to a team from Lambda.

The researchers were both demon and human.

They drugged and performed all kinds of experiments

on the kids.

Their goal was to come up with a way

to mass-produce high-grade meat.

But what happened was the kids

started to show signs of abnormal development

in their muscles, nervous system, and senses

in ways the researchers didn't expect.

Ray: So that's how your friend killed that demon.

He's from there, from Lambda.

- Yeah. He's just one example

of what those experiments did to us.

Emma: Wait. They did that to you, too?

Are you like him?

Norman: No, they put me in a room and made me take tests.

That's pretty much it.

Ray: So how'd you escape from there?

Norman: I was lucky enough

to meet an ally of Mr. Minerva's there.

He helped me destroy the facility and get us out.

Rossi: Really?

Norman: Yeah. His name was Smee.

He knew Sister Krone. He gave her the pen.

( Emma gasps )

Norman: They found out what he was up to and killed him.

Nat: Like they did Mr. Minerva.

Anna: Both of them dead.

Norman: They won't have died in vain, though.

I took some files from the facility.

With them, I made a drug that makes demons degenerate.

Ray: Say what?

Norman: Degenerate.

Have you ever wondered why demons eat humans?

Yvette: Mm-mmm. Why do they?

Norman: To maintain their physical and mental state.

Don: Ohh.

Wait. What?

Norman: I'm sure you noticed how demons

come in various shapes and sizes.

That's because they take on

the appearance and abilities of what they eat.

And in order for humanoid demons

to maintain their form and intellect,

they have to eat human flesh.

Ray: And human brains.

Norman: Right. That's why we took so many tests.

The demons wanted our brains to be more developed,

to preserve their intelligence.

Anna: But then what happens if they stop eating us?

Gilda: They'd regress

and become like those monsters in the forest.

Jemima: They'd be even more dangerous then!

Ray: No. Demons like those are pretty much like wild animals.

They can be outsmarted easy enough.

Norman: Better yet, without intelligence,

they end up attacking each other.

That's where my drug comes in.

It's incredibly potent, even in small doses.

With it, I can degenerate a whole town.

And if everything goes according to plan,

as soon as they get a dose of it,

they'll never regain their intelligence.

That means they won't be able to run the farms,

and then they'll go wild and kill each other off.

I planned it all out in my cell at Lambda.

When we learned about Grace Field, you said,

"If there isn't a place out there for humans to live,

we'll carve one out for ourselves."

( Emma gasps )

Norman: You were determined to escape the farm with everyone.

You wanted to change the world.

I want that.

It's all I ever wanted,

a future where humans can live free and happy,

a world where we can live together like family

and kids have a chance to grow up.

I thought long and hard about how to achieve that goal

and came up with a solution.

- We'll make the demons extinct. - ( Emma gasps )

Norman: We'll end this Neverland,

and together, we'll make this demon world our paradise!

( children laugh, cheer )

Don: Nothing can stop us from getting Phil and the others now!

Rossi: We don't have to be scared of being eaten anymore!

- Gilda: Thank goodness. - ( Emma gasps )

Gilda: Emma won't have to carry the burden of saving us anymore.

( Emma gasps )

Norman: Yeah. She's right.

We'll never lose anyone to the demons ever again.

Christie: Emma, that's what you wanted!

Anna: Aren't you thrilled, Emma?!

( Emma sighs )

Yeah.

Yeah, I am.

- ( Anna sighs ) - Emma: I am.

Norman: Right now, time's the real issue,

and we're running out of it fast.

Grace Field and Lambda are hunting us.

If my information's correct, they're heading this way.

Don: Seriously?

Anna: They'll find us here for sure!

Norman: That's right, which is why

I have to set my plan in motion immediately.

( Emma gasps )

- Ray: Just like that? - Norman: Yeah.

I just give the word, and it can happen tomorrow.

Thoma: Whoa! That fast?!

Lannion: Really?!

Norman: To start, I'll degenerate

all the demons in the town below.

Based on the data we get from that,

we'll launch a coordinated attack

on all the other demon cities.

Then we'll rescue Phil and the others from the House

and then the kids at the other farms.

The days of demons raising us children for food are over.

We'll take back our freedom!

Nat: Wow. Your plan's better than anything we tried to do.

Gilda: Thanks to you, Norman,

this will solve all of our problems.

Norman: It will.

I know how tough it's been for you up 'til now,

but once the mission's complete,

I want you to come live at the base Smee left us.

We have food and beds and showers, too.

Jemima: Really?

Rossi: Just like we had at the shelter!

- ( children laugh ) - ( Norman laughs )

- Jemima: Thank you, Norman! - Alicia: Thank you so much!

Rossi: I can't wait to take a bath!

Don: I'm so glad you have showers!

Some of us were getting stinky!

Norman: Here.

That's where you can find me.

Emma: Thanks.

( rope creaks )

( footsteps approach )

Emma: I still can't believe Norman's alive.

I never thought I'd see him again,

but here he is.

I don't think I've ever been happier.

Ray: You're not really happy, though.

Emma: Huh?

Ray: Norman's master plan...

( Emma gasps )

Ray: You have a problem with it.

I can tell.

( Emma laughs ) What are you talking about?

I think it's great.

If there are no more demons,

we won't have to keep living in fear.

- I'm all for that. - Ray: Give me a break.

It's me you're talking to, remember?

( Emma sighs )

Something must be wrong with me.

But you're right.

I don't like his plan at all.

I know that's crazy to say,

but you heard some of the others.

They're not happy 'cause it'll solve things.

They're mostly happy 'cause they care about me,

and I--

I hate that.

I don't want to be eaten or for anyone else to be.

They hunt us. They raise us on farms like livestock.

I know they're our enemy, but still...

As we walked through their town, it hit me.

Demons are a lot like us.

They have names. They have feelings.

They have families they love.

They're our enemy,

but does that mean they all have to die?

Isn't there another option?

Besides, what about Mujika?

She's our friend!

Ray: If you don't like it,

then why didn't you say something?

( Emma sighs )

What's the point?

I want a solution where no one dies,

but I can't think of one where the demons don't go extinct.

If we all go to the human side,

we'll be cutting off their food supply.

They'll degenerate and kill each other off.

It doesn't matter if we use Norman's drug or not.

They'll die either way.

I can't accept that,

but there's no other solution.

What do I do?

Ray: I don't know.

( Emma gasps )

Ray: There's no point in arguing.

Norman's right. Again.

There's nothing you can do.

Welp, that's one heck of a pickle you're in.

Emma: What?!

B-But how come you wanted to know how I felt?

After all that, you don't have anything else to say?

Ray: Nope.

- Emma: No advice? Nothing? - Ray: Nope.

Emma: Then why'd you let me keep talking all this time?!

( moans ) You're such a jerk!

You made me expose my deepest, darkest feelings!

Ray: You exposed 'em by yourself.

Emma: Huh?

Ray: I didn't make you do anything.

Your true feelings just came out.

If you wanted to keep 'em secret so bad,

you'd have taken 'em to your grave,

but you can't do that.

Here's the thing about secrets.

They're tricky. You can try keeping 'em.

But sometimes they come bursting out anyway.

And knowing how you are,

you won't be able to hold 'em in,

and they'll just come rushing out

at the worst time possible,

screwing everything up in the end!

- ( Emma gasps ) - Ray: If that happens...

and it will, everyone'll be in danger.

It'll cause huge problems for Norman and for me.

So if you have any doubts, you need to let Norman know.

But you'd better do it fast, 'cause there's no going back.

If you keep this to yourself, you will regret it.

- Emma: Right. - Ray: Damn right.

I'm fine if the demons all die, but you're not.

So think real hard here, Emma.

'Cause this is as serious as it gets.

What do you want to do?

Emma: I don't want more death.

I want to find a way to coexist,

but, like, I don't know how we can achieve that.

And to be honest, I'm not sure it's even possible.

Ray: Okay. That's pretty straightforward.

Let's pitch it to Norman.

Emma: Wait. Didn't you hear me?

I said I didn't know what to do.

Ray: All the more reason to talk to him.

Now's the time to speak up, not later.

You're not just telling anyone.

You're telling Norman.

We're all friends, so we can talk freely about anything.

- Emma: Yeah. - Ray: Besides,

Norman wasn't with us when we met them.

Emma: ( gasps ) Sonju and Mujika.

Ray: Yup. They didn't have a problem not eating us.

Emma: That's right.

They told us they didn't need to,

and they sure didn't degenerate.

Ray: They could have been lying to us, too.

But if they weren't, they can maintain their human shape

and their intelligence without eating people.

They're, like, immune.

If only all the demons could be like Mujika.

That'd solve the problem of us coexisting with 'em.

Do you think Norman knows a demon like her is out there?

Ray: I don't know. Maybe.

But if he doesn't know, that'd be bad.

- Emma: Why? - Ray: Think about it for a sec.

Would Norman's drug even work

on any demon who doesn't need to eat people?

( Emma gasps )

Ray: And if he does know about her,

he might be able to tell us why she's an exception to the rule.

Who knows? You might find your answer there

on how us humans and the demons can coexist.

Emma: You think?!

Ray: Maybe. Let's go find out.

But we should do it now,

before Norman starts the ball rolling on his plan.

To be honest,

I don't think there is a way we can live with the demons.

They see a human, and they wanna stuff us in their bellies.

That's just their nature.

Except for Sonju and Mujica, anyway.

Whatever you want, I'll support you.

And however you choose, it'll be the right choice.

You can pull this off like always.

Let's make a future without regrets.

Emma: Thanks, Ray.

Wow. My head feels a lot clearer now.

Ray: Well, I hope so!

( bird squawks )

( animals calling, chirping )

- Boy: What's up? - ( both gasp )

Girl: Hey, you're the Boss's friends from, uh--

Oh, from Grace Shield! Yeah, that's it!

Man: Grace Field.

- Ray: I'm Ray. - Emma: I'm Emma.

Thanks a lot for rescuing us from those demons yesterday.

Boy: Ah. Yeah, that wasn't us. That was Zazie.

He's with the Boss right now, so--

Man: Sorry. The Boss is a little busy right now.

You can wait for him inside.

( bird squawks )

Boy: My name's Cislo.

That's Barbara over there.

And him, he's Vincent, the smart one.

Ray: Hello.

Emma: You, um-- you keep saying, "the Boss."

Are you talking about Norman?

- Cislo: Yeah. Why? - ( Barbara gobbles )

Emma: It's just weird to hear him called that.

Cislo: ( chuckles ) Really?

Wasn't he, like, your leader, too?

Barbara: He said you guys all grew up together.

So what was that like, huh?

What was Norman like? Come on. Tell us!

Emma: Oh. Well...

He's really kind, thoughtful, smart,

always in a good mood, always smiling.

Cislo: Good mood?

Barbara: Smiling?

Both: He's totally different now!

- ( laughing ) - Emma: What?

What do you mean he's different?

What's Norman like now? Come on! Tell us!

Barbara: Serious.

Vincent: Frosty.

Cislo: Bossy.

- ( Ray sputters ) - Emma: Norman?!

Cislo: Yup! You got any stories,

like, really embarrassing stories?

Ray: Well, he wet the bed when he was little.

Emma: He was kind of sickly, too,

so he was in the infirmary a lot.

Barbara: No way!

Cislo: Man, that is so weird to hear about him.

Ever since he broke us out of Lambda,

we've always seen him as this perfect kid genius.

( chuckles ) You're right, though.

The Boss is kind.

Barbara: Duh! That goes without saying!

I mean, he could have left us behind to die, but he didn't!

Vincent: His kindness goes way beyond

what he did for us at Lambda.

For one thing, there are all the kids

he's rescued from the mass-production farms.

- Emma: Really? - Cislo: Oh, yeah.

He even makes it look like demons stole 'em!

Vincent: Instead of sleeping,

he stays up working to bring the demons down.

( Cislo sighs )

Can't come soon enough.

I'm gonna kill so many of those bastards.

Every time I kill one, I feel--

I feel so damn good.

( Barbara swallows )

Yeah. So do I.

Nothing makes me happier than when I kill one,

then eat 'em.

Ray: Wait. That's not some animal?

- That's a... - Barbara: It's a demon.

- I killed this one myself. - ( Emma gasps )

Barbara: Hey, if they're gonna eat us,

I'm damn well gonna eat them.

I can't forget what they did to me at Lambda,

to my body, my head.

Every goddamn day was a living hell.

Cislo: "Hell" doesn't even begin to describe it.

Vincent: Some kids died from the experiments.

Some were just killed. We were like bugs in a jar.

Barbara: Demons deserve worse than death!

It's too easy an end.

They should all go through what we did!

( cups clatter )

- What's your problem? - Emma: Huh?

Barbara: You look shocked. What, you don't agree with me?

They raised you for food.

you should hate 'em as much as us.

Wait. Why do you wanna see the Boss?

Did you wanna change his mind about the plan?

Is that why you're here?! Huh?!

Cislo: Hey, dial it down, Barbara.

Barbara: Every single demon deserves to be exterminated!

Cislo: Back off. Now.

( Barbara scoffs )

( sighs )

( door opens, closes )

Vincent: Apologies.

Cisco and I also think demons should be wiped out.

We're just not as loud about it.

Cislo: While we're all sitting here,

the Houses we came from

are still shipping out the friends we left behind.

No time for compassion.

We have to destroy those farms before they ship any more out.

You guys have friends you left behind, too.

You wanna save them, don't you?

Getting rid of the demons is the only way you can.

( door opens )

Norman: Vincent, Cislo,

about the final phase.

Oh.

( sighs ) Hey, guys.

Emma: Hey, we need to talk.

Norman: Sorry. I have to take care of something.

Back in a bit.

( door opens )

( footsteps shuffling )

( door closes )

( Emma sighs )

Ray: Are you okay?

Emma: Yeah.

She eats them...

to get back at them.

I mean, they're talking about killing the demons,

but is it only for revenge or what?

Shouldn't saving their friends be reason enough?

We hate what the demons are doing and why,

but revenge?

It's wrong. It's evil.

Ray: Yeah, but we can't tell 'em it's wrong to take it personal.

Those three, they were tortured by them.

The hate they feel won't stop.

It just grows. We can't do anything about it.

If you wanna start a war,

start by hating.

- Emma: Then we have to-- - ( door opens )

Norman: Sorry about that.

So how's everyone holding up?

Emma: Norman, we have to talk to you.

Ray: We wanna know some more about the details of your plan.

We also have some new info for you.

Norman: Okay, sure.

Ray: Is that the drug?

Norman: Yeah. That's it.

Emma: I was wondering, your drug,

do you know if it's gonna work the same on every demon?

Norman: What do you mean?

Ray: There's demons out there

who don't eat people and don't degenerate.

So, like, your drug might not affect them at all.

Emma: Also, we--

Norman: How do you guys know there are demons like that?

Emma: Huh?

Norman: Did someone tell you about them or--

Ray: We met 'em, actually.

Norman: Them?

Was one a young-looking female?

Emma: Uh-huh.

Norman: You're kidding.

The Evil-Blooded Girl is still alive?
