[grunting]

Ugh!

?

[groaning]

I suck at track.

[grunting]

[thudding]

-[glass shattering] -[man] Hey!

[cat yowling]

I am not gonna make this team without my powers.

A definite no-go. Someone might see you!

Like, the entire school.

Hunters could be out there.

Carmie! Carmie are you even listening?

Yeah.

Him? You're joining the track team for the new kid?

We're the new kids here. He's a sophomore.

And no, I'm doing this for myself.

What's with the bike?

Oh, 'cause of my new job.

It's fantastic and I think I have a real knack for it.

-What is it? -Well, it's in old media.

But I'm bringing it back.

[cell phone ringing]

Excuse me.

Yes. This is Dylan.

It's my boss. She needs to talk to me.

Maybe you're getting a raise.

Hello, Ma'am.

[chuckling] Yeah.

Fired?

On what grounds?

Okay, that guy was already falling when the paper hit him.

-[dial tone beeping] -[sighs]

Wanna buy a bike?

[theme music]

Um, why aren't you promoting your comic?

What do you mean? They're sitting right there on the rack.

-You think that's enough? -If they sell, they sell.

Kev.

You need to be pushing it out unto the masses, huh?

Or do you wanna end up like Thomas Brendan?

You mean the greatest graphic novelist of all time?

Sure, that would be amazing.

No, not amazing.

Do you know he's been kicked off every movie adaptation

of his own work?

Do you know how much money he's lost because

he's refused to play the game!

I'm not really worried about all of that.

Well, you should be. Anonymity is poverty, Kev!

And that's why we're going to get your name out there!

What if I don't want my name out there?

Oh, you do.

You do.

And you know what?

We're going to have a signing, right here in the shop.

We're going to build up publicity around you,

and then, bam!

Hammer and Tong Comics will be the place to be read.

[quietly] And then they'll all come back to me.

[chuckling]

Get ready, Kev,

because fame is a wild ride.

We had some good times, didn't we?

Watch it!

Oh, hey, Kev.

What's going on?

Nothing is going on.

Once I was the greatest hunter this town has ever seen.

And now now I've been kicked out of computer club,

art club, fired from a media job

A paper route?

If it's any consolation, they'll be off the planet

before you graduate high school.

What has become of me?

Wait, what are you doing up here?

Usually I come here during the day

to collect my thoughts, meditate.

No one is ever here this early.

You and Carmie are more night people,

I'm actually surprised to see you.

You were surprised to see me, at my secret hideout?

-Our secret hideout. -[sighs]

Nothing is mine anymore.

The Collector wants to have a signing

at our store for my comic book.

-Isn't that a good thing? -I mean, maybe?

What if people realize that I'm a fraud?

That my work is derivative of the masters?

Or worse, what if no one shows up?

I'll be there, and Carmie, so that's two people.

What's that?

It's my great-great grandfather Abraham's old journal.

The first Helsing to hunt.

Started with Dracula

He was the best, he made notes on every encounter.

Monster, Mythic, Blended. Dates, types, results.

Images. It's all here.

Every hunter in my family has added to it since.

Madison.

My last hunt.

You didn't write how you helped her escape?

No!

Not the Helsing way. We catch. Never release.

[sighs]

-No way! -What?

I have no idea.

This letter was written by Abraham.

The date reads 1903.

"Whoever hand holds ye skin, be forewarned.

"Its secret proved beyond my abilities.

"Inside these words is the answer

"to ending the Mythic shadow.

"Tread dearly in unravelling this riddle,

"if misread, life will end."

This is intense.

No.

No, this

This is my destiny.

[school bell ringing]

So you weren't going to tell me?

I didn't want to make it a big deal.

Too late for that.

The Collector's going all out. I can't stop him.

Okay. Just admit it.

Your comic is about me.

I don't see it. No.

Glitter is your friend.

That is the first rule of DIY lockers.

A lot of people will tell you that your locker

is an expression of yourself.

Wrong. You'll succeed much more in life by expressing me.

Kev! What are you doing!?

I need to get to my locker.

Your books can wait. This is way more important.

As I was saying, give me a follow for more DIY tips.

Use the hashtag "Leanna Live" for me to see

your personalized lockers. And who knows,

maybe I'll give you a follow you back. Leanna out!

Hey, Carmie.

Kev, congrats on your signing!

Thanks.

Do you think that Carmela, the star of my comic,

looks anything like Carmie, my best friend?

Uh, I don't see the resemblance.

Me either. Carmie, not everything is about you,

like it is me.

Uh, you wanna warm up on the track with me later,

-before tryouts? -Yes. Definitely.

Warm up. Get loose, unwind

-Sure. -All right.

Meet at the track after fifth period.

See you later.

-O-M-G, did you see that? -Yeah.

He was, like, so flirting with me.

So cute!

Can we just forget about him for like, one second?

The stress of no one showing up to my show

is starting to wear on me.

Don't worry. I'll be there.

And Leanna will come too.

I'll have to check my schedule. Come on.

[Dylan] No hits for Sumerian, Akkadian, or Aramaic.

?

You need to take a break, dear. You're gonna strain your eyes.

[Dylan] Not now, Mom. Thank you.

I'm trying to decipher an ancient language

which may be the clue to saving this world.

That's nice, dear, but you still need to eat something.

-Come on. -Wait.

Did you know great-great grandpa Abraham?

[chuckling] No.

But I do know that he was the first Helsing

to come to America, and apparently

he made quite the name for himself.

I found this in his journal,

and I can't figure out what language it's in.

I know it's over 500 years old.

Oh, that is just like him. He loved riddles.

Your grandfather told me that one time for his birthday,

Abraham sent him on a week-long scavenger hunt

just to find his birthday present.

In the end, it was a letter that read,

"The real present of all is the journey we take."

It was a rough sixth birthday for your grandfather.

Yeah.

I think there is a box with some of his things in the garage.

Maybe there's something in there that could help...

[sighing]

?

So, it's important to use vertical force

to make horizontal progress.

Totally. Okay.

So, you ready to race?

Against you? Sure!

All right, well, I'll wait for you at the finish line.

What if I get there first?

[chuckling]

Ready?

And

go!

?

How did you

Well, maybe you're just a better coach than you think.

Carmie! What was that?

Excuse me?

You just beat my star decathlete?

Oh, no, Tristan wasn't even trying that hard,

and he was just giving me a few pointers.

Well, they seem to be working.

Team work makes the dream work.

So be on our team. I'll see you at tryouts.

Oh, and remember,

you miss a hundred percent of the shots you don't take.

Hey, Tristan, team pizza night.

-You coming? -Sure.

Want to come? You'll be making the team.

My parents don't really like it when I'm out on school nights.

Aww, come on, just a slice. Then you'll be on your way.

Okay, fine. Just, like, one slice.

Where's Carm?

Practicing for her track tryouts.

She should be done soon.

You hear that, Bill?

Our baby is stepping out in the world.

Are you really having a signing at Hammer and Tong?

-Yes. -Why you?

Yeah, why you?

-What do you two want? -Free copies.

We'll definitely be there, if we get our free copies.

-Why would you get free copies? -What do you mean?

We're family, Kev.

Plus, we can promote it.

Tweedle Doom and Tweedle Destruction

have a lot of followers.

We have every gamer in town in a ten-mile radius under our thumb.

You need us.

You give us free stuff, we'll fill the place.

Are you even supposed to be on social media?

It's not that big a deal.

Oh, it's a big deal. A soul-crushing deal.

At Hammer and Tong's for your first comic book signing

and it's empty.

A career-ender, before it's even started.

? Trying to catch a ride, meet you under the bleachers ?

Ten slices. A new team record!

I mean, who knew you were full of so many talents.

Full of surprises.

-[burping] -[phone chiming]

I'll get us a cold drink, it'll settle your stomach.

-Be right back. -Thanks.

Everyone's been talking about you today.

Hopefully only good things.

Unfortunately, yes!

-I'm just kidding. -[laughing]

I'm trying out for the track team too, and looks like

you're my biggest competition this year.

Oh, I'm new to this, and there's so many events,

I'm sure we'll both make it.

I just wanna make the relay.

My mother was captain of the relay team when she ran here,

and both my older sisters ran when they went here, too.

I'm kind of a legacy. [chuckles]

Here you go. Ice cold.

Anyway, good luck! May the best person win.

You too.

Cheers.

[Dylan] Whoa. Classic.

?

Goblin

?

I love nights like this.

It is nice.

Is something on your mind?

I was just thinking about the tryouts.

I don't know if I'm gonna do it.

No, you got this.

You just have to go for it. Don't hold back.

Maybe that's the problem.

Maybe I do need to hold back. It's not fair to Stacey.

I mean, she's been training all year,

and I've just come in...

No. You can't dim your light to make others shine.

That's not how it works.

Wait. Wait, how long have we been here?

-About three hours. -What?

Oh, my parents are going to be so mad, and... my phone.

Oh my God, I lost my phone?

Maybe it's inside.

Is this it?

-Thank you. -[phone chiming]

Oh, this is not good. My parents are gonna kill me.

I'm so dead.

I'll catch up with you later.

No, I'll go get my jacket and walk you home.

[whooshing]

[lock unlatching]

[Aasha] What is going on?

The track team invited me for some pizza

and it was nice to hang out with older kids, so I kinda went.

And you couldn't call? Text? Something.

This is unacceptable, Carmela.

You had us worried.

I get it, you're in high school now,

but that doesn't make you an adult.

You have to let us know where you're going

and what you're doing.

Okay. I'm sorry.

I get it. It won't happen again.

No. I don't think you understand

just how serious this is, Carmie.

Sorry isn't be enough. Go to your room.

We'll be discussing consequences later.

I told you I get it, what more is there to talk about?

This attitude won't be tolerated.

I don't know what's gotten into you.

How could you? Because you have no idea what it's like to be me.

[Madison on phone] Two hours late! On a school night?

My mom would ground me for a month.

But I was with the track team!

And?

That boy is on the track team!

Shut up. Tell me everything.

You're missing the point of my parental outrage.

But his name is Tristan.

And he's a sophomore, he's cute, athletic, and so sweet.

And you like him.

[Bill] Carmie, you better not be on the phone.

I gotta go.

[sighing]

[whistling]

You got this. Just give it everything you have.

No mercy to these mortals.

Mortals?

You sound like Loki.

I mean, he's got a point.

The gods were meant to rule.

Just win.

-[Dylan] Whoa. This is awesome. -There's nobody here.

-It's early. -Boys, are you ready?

Tah-dah!

[chuckling] You like?

I hate.

-Well, Kev, it's, uh -No.

It's almost an hour until signing, Kev. Are you ready?

Because you should be.

If this signing is big,

it should get us an invite to Fan Con!

Now, the convention will get you a fanbase,

which we will grow, brand you as a star,

and then the money will flow.

No! I'm not ready. I'll never be ready.

I-I can't handle this.

Do you know how many comics I've ruined with my reviews?

How many dreams I've crushed.

I can't handle that kind of scrutiny.

I'm out!

Oh yeah, he's ready.

[crowd cheering]

[grunting]

Thirteen feet, nine inches for Carmie!

[squealing]

One second place and two thirds?

-Coach says you're on the team! -Really?!

[laughs nervously] Thank you for coaching me!

Yeah, my pleasure. One more event.

The 100 yard dash. Top four make the relay team.

Let's do it!

You know you're better than these other girls.

You could win this race!

Who cares? You said I already made the team.

But we have to win it all, Carmie.

Yeah.

[Kev] Who's next?

Here you go.

-Hey. -[Leanna] Unbelievable!

Up until now unknown high school student Kev

is now a comic book sensation!

Known by only one name, like Rihanna, Beyonc\, Zendaya,

Kev is making waves.

Stay tuned for his first exclusive interview.

Sign 'em.

They're $40 each.

Not for us. Look at all the people.

Most are gamers.

We brought them in, we can send them away.

What did I tell you, Kev?

And this is only the beginning!

Next stop, Fan Con!

?

Come on, Carmie! You got this!

Crush them all! Yes!

Carmie, don't slow down!

Carmie, what are you doing?!

Don't let her beat you!

-[cheering] -[Tristan] Come on!

[crowd cheering]

[panting]

I thought you had me there at the end.

I did too.

I made it.

I made it! Oh my gosh! My family's gonna be so happy!

-Yeah. -The legacy continues!

Thank you! Thank you for losing.

I didn't lose. You won!

-[clapping] -Great job, girls.

Anusree, Tabia, Carly,

and Stacey, relay team!

Carmie, you're an alternate.

Alternate? Heard that before.

-Good job. -Good job.

I did it!

Wait.

Kev!

[phone beeping]

Well, that went better than expected, hmm?

-Your fans love you. -They do!

'Cause I'm one of them. I'm their insider.

Someone who can straddle the line

between creative and commercial.

It's a delicate dance, but they know I'm a fan first.

Ah.

I have no what you mean, but keep it up.

Big things are coming. Ah!

-[door chimes jingling] -Kev! Did I miss it?

-It's it's fine. -Are you sure?

'Cause I feel like people say "it's fine",

but it's just awkward, so I don't believe you.

Well, I missed your tryouts. How'd it go?

-I made the team! -No way!

Whoa, congratulations!

Yeah! Look at us. Crushing the high school game!

Uh, Kev, let's go.

You don't wanna give the public too much of your time, hmm?

The public is gone. These are my friends.

Well, for now.

But when you make it big, you get new friends.

Better friends. Hmm?

Now, can you help me with this table? It's quite heavy.

[straining] Would you mind Thank you.

In a world full of oddballs,

Collector is definitely an all-star.

Carmie, you've gotta see this.

Is this some language?

Yeah, it's Goblin.

-There are goblins? -Yeah.

[eerie whispering]

Wow the writing is beautiful.

Almost hypnotic.

-[whooshing] -[Carmie screaming]

[thudding]

[suspenseful music]
