Previously on Legacies...
We need to learn more

about Landon's past.
Who are your parents?

My mom's name is Seylah.

Pretty much all I know.

She gave me up
for adoption when I was young.

HOPE: If we can't figure out
what you are,

then you can't stay
at the school.

What is this?
If you ever need me,

just press it,
and my bracelet

will lead me to you.

Is that your way of admitting
you care about me?

HOPE: I'm assuming
you know this symbol.

It is the sign of the worst
existential nightmare.

Malivore.

If I return the knife
to Malivore, I will be free.

The knife is destroyed.

One lock is released,

and so am I.

ALARIC: That thing
is a master manipulator.

Look, I am trying
to protect you.

Don't you dare play
disappointed dad

because you are
not my father.

What's wrong?

Landon's in trouble.

HOPE: There's something
I need to tell you.

I just don't know how.

So, to make you understand,

maybe I should start
from the end.

Where the hell are we?

What happened?
I don't know.

But I don't think we're
in Kansas anymore.

HOPE:
On second thought,

I'll just start
at the beginning.

I know Landon needed me,

and at the time,
that's all I needed to know.

(snoring)

Going somewhere?

Better questions,

where the hell do you think
you're going with my keys

and without telling me?

Um, you know,

I just said some really harsh
things to you yesterday,

and so I just wanted

to get you an oil change
as a peace offering.

(scoffs)
At 3:00 a.m.?

Hope,

you don't have
a driver's license.

You were gonna commit
grand theft auto,

which is a felony.

You're ditching school right
before the midterm exams begin,

and you've made it
very clear to me

that you see me as an authority
figure and nothing more.

So tell me,
why shouldn't I

suspend you this very second?

And what is that?

It's basically
a supernatural compass.

Well, I hope it's pointing you
to your room

'cause that's where
you're going.

I'm going after Landon.

If this thing is glowing, that
means that he's in trouble.

Then we're going,
and I'm driving.

HOPE:
I didn't know it yet,

but Landon was in Kansas
looking for his mom.

He had no idea
what he was walking into.

♪ I don't wanna be talking
on the phone every night... ♪

None of us did.

♪ 6:00 p.m. ♪

♪ Which time zone,
yours or mine? ♪

♪ Ain't gonna worry
where you are... ♪

You must have a serious
caffeine addiction.

You've been here
every day this week.

I just like coffee.

I should get the next one to go.

Hey, I'm not complaining.

Just a little
worried about you.

♪ Leave your bags in the car,
keep it running... ♪

This is embarrassing.

You've been my best customer
this week,

and I-I don't even
know your name.

Landon.

That's a beautiful one.

Thanks.

I'm, uh...

pretty sure you gave it to me.

("Bee-Sting"
by The Wombats playing)

(singsongy):
Indiana.

Crossroads of America.

What's the capital?

We learned that in, like,
eighth grade.

Oh, good, then you
should know it.

I didn't say I absorbed
the information.

Yeah, well, you're not saying
much of anything.

Look, if you
can't handle

grade school geography...

you're gonna flunk
all your exams.

Are Lizzie and Josie studying?
Maybe you should focus on them.

Yeah, well, they're still
in Europe with Caroline,

thank God.

Religion has no place
in the classroom,

Dr. Saltzman.

The Supreme Court
made sure of that

with its ruling
on Engel v. Vitale.

And Indianapolis
is the capital of Indiana.

I'm getting an "A"
in geography.

Chill.

Take the next left.
He's on the move.

All right.

Indiana is surrounded
by what four states?

I thought we just established
that I am dominating geography.

Fine.

Then let's move on to science.

(dog barking)

Hello.

SEYLAH:
Don't touch that.

Cool.

Um, it's just that I've told you
my whole life story,

but I don't know
anything about you.

And, like,

all this stuff makes
it seem like

you've had a really
interesting life, and...

Is this an actual samurai sword?

Don't touch that, either.
(dog barks)

I'm sorry.

(sighs)

I'm just not used
to having people around.

You don't have to apologize.

This is, this is
weird for me, too.

(chuckles)
Well, in times

of emotional distress, I find
that dessert really helps,

don't you?

Not exactly an expert
on the subject.

Yes, you are.

I'm sorry your life has been
so hard, Landon, I really am.

I was talking about dessert.

And I thought I was putting
a positive spin on all the rest.

I shudder to think that's true.

Um, well, then I'm sorry, too.

I know this is a lot
to put on you,

with me just showing up
like this,

but I'd really like
to know more about...
(dog panting)

Is he okay?

She. Oh...

You didn't feed her
from the table, did you?

Just a little,
but I've-I've never had a dog.

I had no idea
that this would happen.

Relax. She'll be fine.
The drugs will wear off soon.

What drugs?

HOPE: 18 and a half hours is a
long time to spend on the road,

and even longer when
you're being car-schooled.

And that is how osmosis works.

Mm.

Is this the place?

Yup. And not a moment too soon.

Pretty sure you were about
to tell me how babies are made.

Hey, before we go in there,

I just want to make
sure we're clear.

Don't worry, we're crystal.

You're Professor X,
I'm Wolverine.

I was more of a DC kid.

Then you're Batman
and I'm Robin.

Either way,
you call the shots.

So how do you want
to do this, hmm?

Fireball? Wind torrent?

I was thinking we'd knock.

They'll never see that coming.

Seylah, Seylah, please,

I-I-I didn't want
to burden you with this,

but I don't... I don't
do well in captivity.

Seylah, Seylah,
I'm sorry. I-I-I...

Who sent you?

I already told you
my miserable life story.

Nobody gives a crap about me.

Quit playing games.
Who'd you call?

I don't even have a phone.

I never said you did.

You wouldn't believe me.

What I don't believe
is you're my son.

So I suggest you spill your guts
before the iron heats up.

We should come in hot.
There could be a Jabberwocky

on the other side of that door,
for all we know.

Nonsensical poem written by?
Charles Dodgson.

Wrong. Lewis Carroll.

(chuckles) The pen name
of Charles Dodgson.

I'm crushing English, too.

(man screaming)

No, no, no.
Patere.

(gunshots, screaming on TV)
Hi.

Uh, uh, what-what are you
watching?

Oh... (stammers)
I'm so sorry

that we've ruined
your lunch. I...

I-I promise we're gonna
replace your door.

That's some compass.
We're in the wrong place.

(chuckles)

Someone knew we were coming.

(steam hissing)

Why so quiet?

You wouldn't shut up
when we were having lunch.

I thought you believed me.

Now I'm not giving you anything.

(steam hissing)

Everyone talks...

eventually.

Please don't do this.

I swear to you I am
telling you the truth.

I am your son.

Stop saying that,

or I'll burn
your lips shut.

The Salvatore School.

That's who I called.

That boarding school
I was telling you about?

It's a school for vampires and
witches and werewolves and...

Because they're real.

And so are dragons and gargoyles
and freaking talking trees

and I don't know what else!

You got to be kidding me.
You believe that

but not that I'm your son?

(whispering):
They're here.

They must have followed you.

(dog barking)

(stammers)

Wait. You got...
You have to cut me loose.

(dog continues barking)

HOPE:
Spoiler alert.

Our story's about to take
one hell of a turn.

(dog yelps, barking stops)

A monstrous turn.

Seylah, is that you?

(bones creaking,
heaving breathing)

Holy smokes.

We can talk about this.

(bones creaking)

If you have a mouth.

(muffled roar)

HOPE: I used Landon's bracelet
to do a locator spell,

but all it located was
more trouble.

Can I help you?

Yeah, I hope so. Uh...

(device whirring)

Say, what's going on here?

Gas leak. Don't worry, though,
we have it under control.

You wouldn't happen to know
who lives here, would you?

We tried knocking,
but no one's home.

Um, we're looking for...
The highway.

See, we're lost, and we...
well, we saw you guys,

and we thought we'd
ask for directions.

Yeah, at the end of the road,
you make a right. Can't miss it.

Cool. Thanks.

All right, let's go, Jessica.

"Jessica"? Really?

I've been part of
enough cover-ups

to smell one a mile away.

Do you think they're
after Landon?

Well, all I know
is they wouldn't have

asked about him
if they had him, so...

we gotta find him
before they do.

HOPE: It seemed like the whole
world was chasing Landon,

but only one person
was actually with him.

If you won't tell
me who they are,

will you at least tell me
why they are following you?

(sighs) They weren't,
until you showed up.

So, maybe they're
following you.

I'm not stupid.

I would have noticed
if I was being followed.

Close your eyes.

How many windows
are in this room?

What? We just got here.

The parking lot,
how many cars?

I don't know, like ten?

The man who gave us the keys,
was he right- or left-handed?

Nobody notices
stuff like that.

Three, seven, ambidextrous.

Tell me more about you.
Why?

Because you care
or because you want intel?

Does it matter?

Either way,
I genuinely want to know.

Too bad.

I've already told you
my entire tragic life story.

Do you have a girlfriend?

Her name is Hope.

And she'd probably kill us both

if she heard you
calling her my girlfriend.

I doubt that very much.
Right.

Ninja.

Hope and I are...

complicated.

I-I hurt her once,

and I don't think she's ever

going to forgive me for it.

What'd you do?

I lied to her.

And other stuff.

Deep down, I think it's
the lying part

she'll never understand.

She sounds tough.

Look who's talking.

(chuckles)

You two would probably
hate each other.

I guess it's true, then.

Boys like girls who remind them
of their mothers.

You're stubborn...
and surrounded by danger.

You're my son, all right.

(doorknob rattles)

Uh, I'm looking for
Landon Kirby.

And who the hell are you?

Uh...

People who care about him.

So tell me where he is
before I blow your head off.

You must be Hope.

SEYLAH: So you're the headmaster
of a private school

for supernaturals.

And you're the
teacher's pet?

Actually, she's kind of
a pain in my ass.

A little judgy
for an absentee mother.

You were wrong.

I like her.

Well, now you
know about us.

All we know about you is that
you gave birth to Landon,

he says a monster attacked you,
and now there's some sort of

fake gas company
coming after you two.

So, I think it's time you
start filling in some blanks.

When I finished my service
in the army,

I was recruited by
an intelligence organization.

The States sounded like
a better life.

I didn't know what
I was signing up for,

but soon I learned
that things like you

exist in this world.

My job was very much like yours.

To keep the supernatural world
a secret.

Whenever a monster
went bump in the night

and risked
exposing the truth,

I tracked it down and brought it
back to headquarters.

We're not monsters.

You are to me.

This headquarters, where is it?

Sorry.

You just seem
morally inclined enough

to do something stupid,
and there's

too much blood on my hands
as it is.

A few years in,

I saw something I shouldn't.

I became the hunted
instead of the hunter.

What exactly
did you see?

I wanted to know what was
happening to the monsters.

Because even though
I spent all that time

studying their every move,

I couldn't
remember them at all.

So I started taking notes.

I realized my memory
was being erased.

The question was: How?

Malivore.

How do you know about Malivore?

Landon took a knife
that belonged to

our school's collection.

Now monsters
that shouldn't exist

have been coming after it
ever since.

LANDON:
He means I stole it.

And then I, like, um,
woke it up or something.

What's Malivore?

It's a hell dimension

that consumes creatures
and wipes their existence

from the collective conscience.

Sound about right?

More or less.

Awesome.

The last monster that
came for the knife

was a Necromancer
who screwed us over

and returned it
back to Malivore.

Long story.

But he said that the knife
is one of three keys

that kept Malivore contained,

so why are monsters
still coming for you?

I have no idea.
Didn't really get a chance to

ask the last one.
He just tried to eat me.

As you can see,
it's been a rough semester.

It will only get worse

if you don't go home

and forget you heard the name.

Just like we forget anyone
who's ever been there.

Wait, wait, wait, wait.
You-you have to tell us more.

I mean...

I don't know who your father is.

My job was stressful,

so I had flings
to blow off steam.

Got pregnant,

and just like your
not-girlfriend said,

I'm not equipped to be a mother.

Sorry.

I thought I was giving you
a better life.

(door opens, shuts)

HOPE: You want to know
the worst part?

That wasn't the worst part.

(Alaric sighs)

Oh, believe me, I would,
but I'm...

trying to cut back.
(chuckles)

Look, I get how hard this is,

but we need some answers.

You already know
everything I know.

I think we both know
that's a lie.

Just like you lied to Landon
about not knowing

who his father is.

What makes you think
I was lying?

Bad liars look away
when they lie to their kids.

Good liars look 'em
straight in the eye.

We have something
in common, then.

You have children?

Two girls.

So take my hard-earned advice.

Tell Landon the truth.

How about I tell you instead?

Just to see if you believe me.

(sniffles)

Because I'm still not sure

that I believe what I'm about
to say, and I lived it.

The organization
I used to work for

guards the portal to Malivore.

When I realized I was
having memory lapses,

I started writing
everything down.

Drawing maps.

I wrote about the creatures I
captured and where I took them.

Each entry ended there.

So where'd you take them?

(laughs softly)

Nah, that's not important.

Eh, that seems
super important to me.

Well, then I'm not
gonna tell you.

For your own good, believe me.

One day, I snuck
in by myself.

And what I found was a...

a black pit,

locked away.

Is that supposed
to be a metaphor?

Oh, no.

It's an actual pit,
filled with...

tar, uh, or something.

A literal pit of doom.

The story has it that if, uh,
Malivore consumes you,

you experience endless darkness.

Yeah.

It's not just a story, though.

And I should know.

I've been there.

HOPE: Landon,
I'm really sorry.

Don't be.

(sighs)

It'll be okay.

You can't trust her.
I don't.

But she's my mother, Hope.

All I've ever wanted
is a family.

A home.

So I'm not gonna give up on her

just 'cause she's
a little screwed up.

That would be
pretty hypocritical.

You're not that screwed up.

I hate that you always see me
when I'm weak.

(whispering):
You're not weak.

You're a survivor.

Landon, that
makes you one of

the strongest people
that I know.

I'm starting to think
I'm a bit of a danger magnet.

I'm starting
to think you're right.

(laughs softly)

I didn't... I didn't mean to
bring all this into your life.

"Dear Hope..."

"The state of Alabama

"a million Waffle Houses,

♪ How can I resist ♪

♪ When it feels like this? ♪

When my former employers

discovered that I was trying
to remember

the things they made me forget,
they tossed me into the pit.

So how are we having
this conversation?

I don't know.

I don't even know
how long I was in Malivore,

only that I felt
the things you described,

the isolation, the loneliness.

And then, one day,
I found myself back here.

I woke up
in the middle of nowhere,

covered in mud,
absolutely no idea

how I got there.

Turns out two years had gone by,

but there was a bright side.

No one I worked for
remembered me.

So you were free.

I wouldn't go that far,

because there was also a catch.

I was pregnant.

Thank you,

f-for coming for me.

I needed help, and you came.

That's never really
happened to me before.

Sounds like you've had
crappy girls in your life.

Oh, I've had zero girls
in my life.

(chuckles)
Unless you count

Lisa Marie Albertson,

who asked me
to take her to the prom,

and then,
when I said no,

told the entire school that
it was because I couldn't afford

to pay for it.
Well,

my first kiss was
with a 90-year-old vampire

who helped murder my mother.

(whispers):
That's terrible.
Yeah.

And prom
is super expensive, so...

People suck.
People suck.

Hope.

Yeah?

I will never hurt you again.

Ever.

ALARIC:
So Landon is basically a, uh,

supernatural
immaculate conception?

I'll be damned.

You believe me.

My twins were
magically transplanted

into their mother's womb
by a coven of witches,

so my belief tolerance

is pretty high.
(chuckles)

I can't imagine how you
explained that to your kids.

Yeah.

It was easier for me
to leave Landon

in a small basket on the steps
of a local church.

Oh, you were young, scared.

I was selfish.

And now I'm tired.

I've spent 18 years
trying to stay off the grid.

To remain erased.

I can't be his mother.

Not in the way
he needs me to be.

Sorry.

You can't just
leave him, Seylah.

He'll be better off.
You all will.

HOPE: As if that wasn't
weird enough,

I should warn you, our story's
about to get even fishier.

Oh! Hey, uh...

Hope, uh, get-get
another room. Now.

You're the one
that's always saying

I need to connect more
with people.

Yeah, not literally. Get out.

(quietly):
Get out.

(door closes)

Uh, Dr. Saltzman. Uh, I'm, uh...

A sexed-up teenager.

It's perfectly normal.

Don't let anyone else
tell you otherwise.

(exhales)

So you're not mad?

We got bigger fish to fry.

We need to talk
about your mother.

Let me guess. Pizza run?

Alaric was right.
You are a pain.

I'm not the one stealing a car
at the moment.

It's my car,
so it's not stealing.

Oh, then you're just afraid
to go upstairs and get your keys

because then you'd
have to tell Landon

that you're
abandoning him again.

Even worse.

He likes you, Hope.

Be good to him.

You first.

Now, are you coming with,

or do I need
to drag your ass upstairs?

I never thought
I'd see him again.

And I was okay with that.

Being a mother was never
on my list

of things to do before I died.

Every now and then,
over the years, I...

I wondered how he was.

What kind of person
he turned out to be.

If he had a nice life.

(exhales)

Turns out he's a good person
with a crappy life.

He deserves better.

Then help make it better.

That's exactly what I'm doing.

(engine starts)

What you think you're doing
for him doesn't matter.

All that he's gonna
remember of you

is that you abandoned him
when he needed you the most.

No.

He won't remember me, period.

And neither will you.

Wait, wait, she got pregnant
in Satan's mud bath?

Yeah, that's-that's
a lot to take in.

And now she's gone?

Look, being a-a parent
i-is complicated.

Sometimes we convince ourselves

that we're doing the
right thing, when in reality,

we're just being really dumb.

Look, I-I've got to check in
on Hope, okay?

Bigger fish. Huge fish.

(snarls)

Ictus.

(creature screeches)

Also: ick!

See? Danger magnet.

What the hell was that?
Uh, I'm guessing a Mer-Man.

A very pissed Mer-Man.
Why are the monsters
still coming for them?

We don't even have
what they want.

I don't know, but we got
to get Landon out of here.

Oh, no.
What?

You said a necromancer
told you the knife

was one of three keys, right?

The Necromancer. Like I said,

it's a long story,
But why does it matter?

Son of a bitch.

This is Seylah's. I picked
it up, but I didn't steal it.

I-I...
Not on purpose, anyway.

I don't know how it got
in there, just like

how I don't know
what happened with the knife.

I swear, I wouldn't
do that again.
Landon, Landon.

It's okay.

I believe you.

(Mer-Man growls, water splashes)

Oh, we got to move.

No, no, no, wait.
Leave it, leave it.

What? Are you out of your mind?
No.

I'm just sick of playing
the same game.

So let the monster have it.

He'll take it to Malivore.

We follow him,
we know where it is.

ALARIC: I am not
taking two teenagers

to a covert military
hiding place

for a demon portal.

You kind of have to.
Why?

Because Seylah's going there.

What? Did she tell you that?

In her own way.

Hold that.

I'll explain in the car.
Let's go.

H-He's a fish man on land.
How fast can he be, right?

Oh, my God!

Turns out
he's pretty fast.

Listen, this was your idea.
So is it within my bounds

as the headmaster to
tell you to shut it?

What if we don't
get there in time?

Seylah doesn't have that much
of a lead on us.

I can't believe she wants
to erase herself

just to get out
of being a parent.

What the hell is that?

Triad.

LANDON: Explosives?

On the bright side,
maybe this fence stopped

our fishy friend.

I don't think so.

There.

Hey, stay back.
He's dangerous.

I have to get in there.

Landon!
Wait, guys, be careful!

(beeping)

HOPE: I can only speculate
about what happened after that,

but in hindsight,
I think it's pretty obvious.

We got a break-in.
I'm on it.

HOPE:
Seylah went to Triad.

(gunshot)

(alarm sounding)

And then she went to Malivore.

I'm sure Triad
tried to stop her.

But she had a reason to fight.

And in the end,
I'm guessing she won.

(gunshot)

(grunting and groaning)

(tar bubbling)

She sacrificed herself...
for Landon.

And then she was erased.

(birds chirping)

(grunts)

(groans)

Where the hell are we?

What happened?

I don't know.

But I don't think
we're in Kansas anymore.

LANDON:
Thank you again

for coming to help me.

find your mother.

(knocking on door)

Hi.
Hey.

Is, um... is Raf here?
'Cause I can come back.

No, you just missed the reunion.

Now he's off, uh,
working out with the werewolves.

I was just sitting here,

looking at the fancy new clothes
the school gave me,

trying to make peace
with the fact

that I may never meet
the woman in that picture.

Which I seem to have lost
somehow.

What do you think she's like?

I think that she's
an international assassin

that specializes in
killing monsters.

And that she loves
you very much,

in her own way.

(laughs)

Oh, let's be honest.

Nobody that cool
gave birth to me.

So, what did you want
to talk to me about?

Do you want to be my boyfriend?

Are you serious?

Deadly.

Well, what brought this on?

I don't know, I...
(chuckles)

I guess I'm-I'm just...

I'm really happy
that you're back.

Well, it's a big decision.

I know.
We should probably sleep on it.

No. Absolutely not.

Well, in that case, yeah.
I'd really like that.

HOPE:
And that's it.

Which brings me to my question.

What do we do next?

ALARIC: How am I
supposed to know?

I don't remember doing
anything you just said.

You'll know
because you always know.

Because you're a good headmaster

in spite of all the things
that I say.

(laughs softly)
Well, in that case,

I think the only question we
should be asking ourselves is:

Why do you remember?

I don't know.

But I can't imagine
that it's good.

(sighs) And I can lie to Landon
about all of this,

but I'm sorry, Dr. Saltzman,
I just can't lie to you.

'Cause I really need your help.

Speaking of,
there's one more thing.

I take it that's the urn

I don't remember.

Yeah. I figured it was better
to have it here

than to leave it laying around.

So what happens now?

I think we're about to find out.

(device beeping)

What happened here?

Unscheduled absorption.

What, another rat?

No, readings are
too big for that.

Like, human big.

Well, any idea who it was?

Of course not.

I wouldn't remember

if it was my best friend.

But I did find this...

...floating on the surface.

What... No, no!
