00:01Hello Chicago! In the latest news, Joe's sloppy house was closed due to suspected cannibalism and rodent molestation!
00:08Yikes! Not again!
00:09Midnight news never fails to put me to sleep.
00:11Breaking news! I mean Richard Frost and teen heartthrob Ethan Frost were spotted this afternoon.
00:19I see one more article about those slime balls.
00:43That's not a raccoon.
00:46Hello Ivy.
00:55No!
01:00No!
01:05Okay, rational explanations.
01:08Cosplayer.
01:09A lost Halloween enthusiast.
01:11A very committed Rappoon in a costume.
01:14Or a murderer.
01:16That works too.
01:20Let me in Ivy.
01:23I won't bite.
01:25I'm gentle as can be.
01:33Good girl.
01:35Be afraid of the weapon.
01:37A scythe.
01:38Now let me in.
01:39Or I'll cut you into ribbons and wear you as a tie.
01:43Not from here you won't.
01:44Then I'll find another way in.
01:46Where? All the doors are locked. My parents make sure every night-
01:49You forgot your window.
01:50I'll walk slowly.
01:52I'll walk slowly.
01:52So you actually have a chance.
02:04Either I'm losing my mind, or something very, very wrong just found me.
02:11This is so much fun
02:13Fun is nice, not the way I go to choose
02:18Mama, it's here! The monster!
02:20What do you want from me, Susie?
02:22This is the fifth night
02:36Why?
02:37Why do I do this to myself?
02:49Oh look, that costume is amazing
02:50So realistic
02:54We need to get off this ride
02:57Now, honey
02:58It's just actors
03:09Can we leave?
03:11I think I touched hay
03:13I'm going to be an angel
03:14You
03:15An angel?
03:17And you should be the devil
03:18Since your name is Ivy
03:20Like, Ivy is poison?
03:22That's ironic, right?
03:23That's not how irony works, but sure
03:27Try it on, I'll find my wings
03:40Are you okay?
03:42You look pale as a ghost
03:44Technical difficulties with the costume
03:49Hey, where's that Grim Reaper display?
03:51Had to take it down
03:52He tends to scare the customers
03:55On the house
03:56Cupcake
04:08Lila, what time is it?
04:11Uh, 7.45, I think
04:13Lila, time is it?
04:19Oh my god
04:21I killed him
04:23Don't go out there
04:25What if he's a zombie?
04:30Sir, are you okay?
04:31Oh, the egg
04:32Johnny
04:32My chest
04:33It feels like it's on fire
04:35Do you want me to call an ambulance?
04:37At least you didn't hit me at 70 miles
04:39With a pointy car
04:40Oh, wait
04:40You did
04:46I'll give you 20 seconds
04:49Since your shirt is seen
04:51Through
04:511
04:532
04:553
04:574
04:585
04:596
05:007
05:01Lila, open the damn door!
05:048
05:06Blue or IT?
05:13Calm down
05:13It's not the same guy
05:22Oh my god
05:23Thank you so much for helping her
05:25No problem
05:26Always here to help
05:29Don't bother
05:30You won't see my face
05:31Why are you following me?
05:36Holy crap
05:37Is there a black hole under there?
05:40I'm hungry
05:42Why are you following me?
05:44You're number one on my priority list
05:45Don't tell anyone about me
05:46Your friend is lucky she's clueless or I'd kill her
05:49See you at the party tonight, 8 o'clock
05:51I know where you live
05:52Your mother is very nice, by the way
05:54Oh my god
05:54Go
05:54Wrong
06:04That guy who saved you
06:05Was gorgeous
06:06Wait
06:07You saw his face?
06:09He was 2 inches from you
06:11How did you not?
06:12His
06:12His hood was up
06:14His face was covered
06:16He had no hood on, Ivy
06:18Mom
06:21Dad
06:22I'm Mr. Buttons
06:24And I love to sing a song
06:27I'm Mr. Buttons
06:29And I love to sing a song
06:32I'm Mr. Buttons
06:33And I love to sing a song
06:34What the fuck?
06:36I'm Mr. Buttons
06:53With this knife
06:53Before I kill you
06:54And have tons of fun with it
06:55Do you like swimming?
06:57I heard you're an excellent swimmer
06:58I also heard you like spiders
07:00Gory horror movies
07:02Dark places
07:03And heights
07:05I could do something with those
07:06See you later, Cupcake
07:08Your worst nightmare
07:09P.S.
07:11Don't tell anyone about me
07:12Unless you want them dead
07:15Fine
07:16You wanna play games?
07:18I'm going to that party
07:29Yo, is that you, Ivy?
07:31You look smokin'
07:33Must be an alternate universe
07:36Don't touch me, the Y
07:39Oh, she just owned you, bro
07:41Have you seen Lila?
07:43The kitchen
07:44Or the pool
07:45I'm not sure
07:45Everything's blurry
07:49Ivy, you look so cute
07:51Do you want to swim?
07:53I have extra bikinis
07:54Sure
07:55Sounds great
08:00Ladies and gentlemen
08:01We have ourselves a dry little lady
08:04You know what that means?
08:06Dunker, Dunker
08:07Come on, just dip your toes in
08:09Jake, stop!
08:11I can't swim!
08:13Please!
08:15When I was little
08:15I fell off my dad's boat
08:17I almost drowned
08:17I've been afraid of water
08:19Ever since
08:38Surprise?
08:39Surprise?
08:41Surprise?
08:43Surprise!
08:43Don't fight me
08:45It'll make this harder for you
08:51Pim!
08:59You're okay
09:00Nobody's gonna hurt you
09:06Who are you?
09:08A friend
09:14Remember that
09:18I made out with George
09:22You guys broke up
09:23He cheated on you
09:25You're just jealous
09:26Because I have all the guys
09:28And you have nothing
09:30At least I don't
09:32He's coming
09:33What?
09:38Come with me
09:39Before it's too late
09:42You don't belong here, Ivy
09:43Come with me
09:44And you'll be safe
09:46Get off my property, Arden
09:48And put a shirt on, you tool
09:51Demonstrate your power
10:11Pepper
10:11Pepper, how did I get here?
10:31You were dead asleep when we got home
10:33How was the party?
10:35Fine
10:37Mom, did anyone come to the house yesterday while you were gone?
10:40No, why?
10:43No reason, Mom
11:04A rational person would go to the police
11:05A sane person would delete these texts and move on
11:07But there's something about him
11:08About the way he appears and disappears
11:10The way everyone sees him differently than I do
11:12And that makes me feel like the police can't help me
11:15Like this is something else entirely
11:17Hey!
11:18Wasn't that party amazing?
11:20You don't remember anything weird happening?
11:24I remember dancing
11:25In the pool
11:27Enjoy gymnastics
11:29I mean the guy
11:30The one who grabbed me
11:32What guy?
11:34Never mind

17:53there's a hierarchy

17:58because you shouldn't exist
18:00the balance flagged you 17 years ago
18:02a soul that doesn't fit
18:03not fully human
18:04not fully anything else
18:05my orders were to eliminate you before you disrupted the system
18:08but you didn't
18:10i was the one who pulled you out of the water when you fell off your dad's boat
18:13you were six
18:15you looked up at me with those stupid big eyes and i hesitated
18:18i never hesitate
18:19that was you
18:22my dad said it was one of his friends
18:24i made him think that
18:26so you've been watching me for 11 years
18:29a sign to you
18:30there's a difference
18:32is there
18:33look the elders want you dead
18:35arden was sent to recruit you for heavenside before i could finish the job
18:38and the frost family
18:40richard frost isn't human

19:08and you don't trust anyone else
19:09you literally told me not to trust you
19:12i told you i was supposed to kill you
19:15the fact that you're still breathing should tell you something

19:37he collects souls
19:38he doesn't save them
19:39he saved mine
19:41when i was six
19:42because he needs you
19:44elders that believe your soul is the key to stabilizing the balance
19:48if it's reaped properly by a jerry hammy thing
19:51and that's shift toward vol
19:52reaped properly
19:53you mean killed
19:55sacrifice

20:02i'm trying to protect you
20:04by killing me nicely
20:06death will turn on you
20:08it's in his nature
20:09when the time comes and his masters demand your soul

20:12he always does
20:13i'm offering you a choice
20:14come with me and i can at least make sure it means something

21:57i felt nothing for centuries
21:59i reaped souls
22:00followed orders
22:02existed in the spaces between life and death
22:04then i pulled a six-year-old girl out of the ocean

23:16death was dispatched to do it

23:29in exchange for what
23:30your cooperation
23:31your soul has the power to tip the balance permanently
23:34i intend to use that power to reshape the world
23:37with you willingly at my side
23:38the transition would be smooth
23:40and without me
23:41considerably less smooth

26:47they'll destroy him and take you anyway
26:48at least with us
26:49your sacrifice means something
26:51there's that word again
26:54it won't hurt
26:55i promise
26:59touch her again and i will end you
27:02angel or not
27:07you condemn her
27:09you can't protect her from heaven and hell
27:12watch me
27:19stop
27:20both of you
27:26i'm not a weapon
27:27and i'm not doubting for anyone's land
27:29do you hear me
27:32you lied to me
27:33and you
27:34you should have told me they were coming
27:42i know you're awake
27:43your light is on
27:44go away
27:46i can't
27:47can't or won't
27:48both
27:51you have 60 seconds
27:53i should have told you about heaven's order
27:55i found out three days
27:56ago
27:57i thought i could handle it before it reached you
27:58you thought you could handle it
28:01like i'm a problem to be managed
28:03that's not
28:03that's exactly what it is
28:05you
28:06ardent frost
28:07everyone's managing me
28:08planning around me
28:09nobody talks to me
28:12you're right
28:13what
28:14you're right
28:15i've spent 11 years watching over you and i still treat you like a mission instead of a person
28:19old habit
28:19tell me everything
28:21right now
28:22no more it's complicated
28:24no more you're not ready
28:25everything
28:26when you were born the balance fractured not because you're evil because your soul is neutral
28:30perfectly impossibly neutral
28:31you contain equal parts light and dark
28:33that's never happened before
28:36you're the living embodiment
28:37of what the balance is supposed to be
28:40so i am the balance
28:41be a living anchor for it
28:42if your soul is reaped and given to heaven the balance tips permanently toward good
28:45sounds nice
28:46but it would destroy free will
28:47if frost gets it
28:49the balance collapses into chaos
28:51the balance holds
28:52as long as you breathe the world stays in equal rhythm
28:54that's why you're a weapon
28:56alive you're a lock on pandora's box
28:57so the only way to save the world
29:00is for me to survive
29:01and the only one assigned to kill you is me
29:03what happens to you if you define your orders
29:06obliteration
29:07not death death can't die
29:09erasure
29:10like i never existed
29:11every soul i ever reaped
29:13every moment every memory gone
29:14even the memory of me
29:16then why are you still here
29:18because for the first time in centuries
29:22there's something i'm more afraid of losing than myself
29:24your 60 seconds are up
29:26i know
29:31thank you all for coming
29:32this is a terrible idea
29:34for once we agree
29:35richard frost is coming for me
29:37heaven is coming for me
29:39the only way i survive is if the three of you stop trying to kill each other and start working
29:44together
29:44my father has allies dark ones
29:47demons
29:47corrupted spirits
29:48people in power who sold their souls to him
29:50he's been building an army for years waiting for this moment
29:53and heaven won't wait much longer
29:56if i don't deliver your soul they'll send someone who will
29:59someone less
30:01merciful
30:01define merciful
30:03you try to rip her soul out in the school hallway
30:05i was trying to spare her a worse fate
30:10enough
30:11here's the plan
30:13arden you buy us time with heaven
30:15tell them you're still working on me
30:17lie if you have to
30:19angels don't

34:01with pleasure
34:03with pleasure
34:31the balance is breaking
34:32the balance is breaking
34:33If that signal completes, it's over!
34:48Ethan! Ethan, wake up!
34:52The signal needs a soul to activate.
34:56Any soul. He designed it to work with yours, brother.
35:00But what?
35:00If someone else steps into the center willingly,
35:02if someone with enough supernatural energy,
35:04it could overload.
35:05Short-circuit the whole thing.
35:28You chose a human over eternity.
35:32How poetic.
35:34How stupid!
35:35Red!
35:37Run.
35:39No.
35:41Ivy, no!
35:43If you step in, he'll take your soul!
35:45I'm not giving him my soul.
35:48I'm using it.
35:52What are you doing?
35:54You'll destroy the channel!
35:58That's the point.
36:00That's the point.
36:05No!
36:06I spent decades!
36:14Son.
36:16Son.
36:22Ivy!
36:24Ivy!
36:24Her soul is intact, but it overextended.
36:27She poured everything into breaking the signal.
36:29She's...
36:30She's what?
36:30Fading.
36:31Don't you do this to me.
36:33Don't you dare.
36:34You owe me cupcakes, remember?
36:39Yeah, cupcake.
36:41We won.
36:46You're crying.
36:48I don't cry.
36:49There's literally tears on your face.
36:52Shut up.
36:58The doctors say you passed out from exhaustion and some kind of electrical event.
37:02They're baffled.
37:03Sounds about right.
37:04Ivy, I know something happened.
37:06Something bigger than what you're telling me.
37:08I'm not as clueless as everyone thinks.
37:10I know you're not.
37:11Will you tell me?
37:12Someday?
37:13Someday.
37:14I promise.
37:19Heaven has recalled the order.
37:21Your survival proved something they didn't expect.
37:23That the balance doesn't need a sacrifice.
37:25It needs a guardian.
37:26A living one.
37:27So they're leaving me alone?
37:29For now.
37:29Possibly forever.
37:30You've changed the equation, Ivy.
37:32They're recalculating.
37:33Angels recalculate?
37:34We're learning.
37:36What about you?
37:37I've been reassigned.
37:38Observation duty.
37:39Apparently watching over Earth is my penance for going rogue.
37:42Take care of yourself, Ivy Morgan.
37:45The world needs you breathing.
37:47Hey.
37:48Hey.
37:49My father's gone.
37:50The company, the mansion, the empire, all of it's being dismantled.
37:53I'm 18 with nothing.
37:54You have yourself.
37:55That counts.
37:56You sound like a motivational poster.
37:59You're welcome.
38:00I'm leaving Chicago.
38:01Starting over somewhere nobody knows the Frost name.
38:03I just wanted to say thank you for seeing me as something other than his son.
38:05You were always something other than his son, Ethan.
38:08You just didn't know it yet.
38:12Goodbye, Ivy.
38:13Goodbye, Ethan.
38:22You came.
38:23I always come.
38:25The elders, your superiors, what are they going to do to you?
38:28They offered me a choice.
38:30Continue as a reaper, new assignment, new soul, forget everything.
38:33Or.
38:34Or?
38:34Become mortal.
38:35Lose my power, my immortality, my position.
38:37Start from zero.
38:38Live and eventually die.
38:39Which did you choose?
38:43I figured I owed you one.
38:4511 years late.
38:46You chose mortal.
38:47I chose you.
38:49You're going to be terrible at being human.
38:52Probably.
38:53I don't know how to do taxes.
38:54Or cook.
38:55Or sleep.
38:56You'll learn to sleep.
38:58I eat too many tacos.
39:00We'll work on that.
39:02No more scythe?
39:03No more scythe.
39:04No more death threats?
39:06I might keep the nickname.
39:08Cupcake.
39:11So.
39:12That's what that feels like.
39:13Welcome.
39:14To being human.
39:19Here's what they don't tell you in bedtime stories.
39:22Good doesn't always conquer evil.
39:23And evil doesn't always win.
39:25Sometimes, against every odd, they find balance.
39:28My maine.
39:28The way of Jesus is a companion.
39:28I've got , I don't know, many people.
39:28But what I want to say is oh yeah, my friend.
