Helstrom

Bless me, Father, for I have sinned.

It has been a month since my last confession.

Go on.

A couple months ago, I was sent here from Rome with a mission.

I'm supposed to report to the Archbishop here if I find any,

um,

disturbing and unnatural behavior from this man

and his family, but

it's complicated.

Take your time.

I'm here to listen.

The Church always tells us that our faith... is our strength.

That it alone will save us from the darkness.

But sometimes life has a way of testing our faith

through what we experience,

what we feel.

So if I'm having doubts about what I've seen and felt, then,

who am I to pass judgment on anyone else?

Father?

Sorry.

But is there a sin anywhere in there?

Excuse me?

Have you had any lustful thoughts?

I...

I'm not sure, I mean, he...

Everyone's had thoughts before.

Do you like the way... he makes you feel.

Um...

Between your legs?

I can make you feel that way.

Yeah, you're a fighter.

I haven't had one like you in centuries.

Let me guess. You're here for him?

Daimon called and said...

That figures.

- Such a shame. - I'm sorry, what?

Well, let's be honest,

you could do so much better.

Well, looks like you could, too.

Daimon told us you were attacked.

I'm very sorry,

but we're here to help.

You have a really lovely place.

Thank you.

It was, it was a lot of work.

And a lot of Mother's money.

When she went crazy, we took it.

What I think she means is that

when I got power of attorney, I split the family trust,

to take care of us.

Including Victoria.

Daimon.

Ana.

Been too long.

Or not long enough, depending on how you look at it.

View looks pretty sketchy from here.

I, made a quick stop.

Double chocolate.

Hands down the best in Portland. Alright.

Don't everybody jump at once.

Henry, this is Gabriella Rosetti,

my associate.

- This is... - The man they call Caretaker.

I've heard nice things.

Yeah.

Likewise.

Okay.

So, I-I know this, this sort of

formal meeting isn't everyone's favorite morning activity,

but Ana and I have

reason to believe that our father may be back.

So you were right.

He's been alive all this time.

No.

He's taken a new form.

Reborn somehow. I...

But it's him.

He's strong.

He's marking people for possession.

And he's clearly targeting us.

Got the drop on me.

Won't happen again.

The only question is,

how do we kill him?

We can't.

Simple laws of nature.

Energy can't be destroyed,

but it can be transferred or contained.

Well, from what Ana was telling me last night,

he was lying in a crypt for 20 some-odd years.

But what kept him contained?

Another demon.

A Keeper tasked with that very job.

You can't be serious.

Where do we find one?

We already have.

The skull, Ana.

You felt it, didn't you?

It's the only thing strong enough to contain your father's

Ana, we're having a meeting?

Um, that skull is in San Francisco.

Thank me later.

Damn it, Yen.

Hey, you don't have to call a car.

I can drive us to the airport.

Us?

Well, I'm gonna, I'm gonna come with you.

That's gonna be a no for me.

Look, I know you're pissed, right? But this is, this is your thing.

The whole "we need to be on the same page" deal.

I meant us. As in you and me.

Not the whole J-V squad in there.

Okay, well, I'm not surprised you'd pick on Hastings and Gabriella.

But you can't call 'Taker J-V. That man is definitely Varsity.

You didn't see it last night,

the thing that he's turned into.

He would shred them like paper dolls.

That's what you're afraid of.

I'm not afraid of anything.

Not anymore.

Well, I am.

And if Dad comes back for you, I'm going to be there.

Besides, I love me some San Francisco.

- It is foodie heaven. - That's impossible.

People don't just come back from the dead.

The irony of the whole Jesus thing is lost on you, isn't it?

You can't just contain someone's soul.

Well, my experience would beg to differ.

Yours would too, Louise.

I'll speak to my own experience, thank you.

Forget the fact whether or not it's possible to capture someone's soul,

it's immoral.

I can't argue with her there.

Their father isn't like, like other demons,

hopping from person to person.

No. He is a monster!

And his soul, if he ever had one, is dead.

The only thing left is pure evil.

If what you're saying is true,

then what does that say about his children.

Calm down, now. Calm down.

Hold on, hold on, hold on.

He's still a little squirrelly.

Did you follow me here?

If I'm gonna do business with someone,

I'm gonna do my homework.

Business?

Come on.

There's something you need to see.

Growing up, I never pegged you for an art buff.

You could barely even draw stick figures.

Well, you don't have to make it to sell it, genius.

And I deal in antiquities.

So, ancient stick figures.

Are you always so insufferable?

No. Just when I'm with you.

Chris?

Like, how, how much is this worth?

Like, 20, 30 grand?

$2.3 million.

Seriously?

Who buys this stuff?

It's the same idiots who send cars into space for fun.

Yen!

What?

- What is it? - Yen's not here.

And the alarm wasn't set when we entered.

Holy shit.

It's gone.

- What? - The skull. It's gone.

We need to find Yen.

That coin you used.

Did it... exorcise him?

It wasn't a coin. It was a talisman.

It's, made from the remains of a Keeper demon.

The Keeper demon.

You mentioned that back at the house.

Rare bunch.

They, rebelled against their own kind.

Now, that talisman bought us,

maybe an hour if we're lucky.

Then... what are we doing here?

Coming.

Finn.

So they finally let the jack out the box?

Their mistake.

- What're you doing here? - I need a room.

Second floor. With a view.

Folks upstairs clear her?

They don't need to.

She's with me.

Self-park or valet?

Valet.

I take it this is not a regular hotel.

Get the straps.

Do you know him?

What did you see?

Robbery... of some kind. I couldn't make it out.

Luckily, you don't have to.

Okay, well,
