There you are.

Not so scary, are you?

Not yet.
But I'm getting stronger.

*LEGACIES*
Season 04 Episode 14

Episode Title:
"The Only Way Out is Through"

Aired on:
April 07, 2022.

It's kind of
weird how everything

feels so normal.

What, given that
Hope's been here

less than 12 hours and hasn't

- put anyone into a coma yet? Very.
- Which

is a good sign, right?

Ah, too soon to tell.

Call me paranoid,
but I'm still waiting

for the other shoe to drop.

Unless there's
not another shoe.

There's always another shoe.

I think Hope's humanity

is flickering, and we might be
able to help nudge it along.

Like, if there's a way
that we could force her

to have a profound
emotional discovery.

Like, if maybe she were
to get trapped inside the, uh...

Therapy box?

I think this one's broken.

- Shoe?
- Shoe.

No desire to know
what that means.

You know what?

How about instead
of wasting your energy

trying to turn
my humanity back on,

we develop a battle plan?

Battle plan?
For what?

For beating a couple of Gods
in immortal combat.

The sooner we do that, the
sooner I can go back to living

my lawless and carefree life.

We don't know anything
about fighting Gods, Hope.

Yeah, no kidding.

That's why I called the closest thing
we have to an expert,

who should be
just showing up.

I hope I'm not interrupting.

Not at all.
You were right on time.

We're not doing this.

I told you, dudes.

I am not talking
about my family.

Plus, you two's vibe
is a little...

mall girl for me, you know?

We're here to make amends.

Our previous
request was

impudent and without
proper reverence.

We came with a gift

to assuage your anger.

What?

What my antiquated friend
is trying to say

is we heard the Gods

are into offerings,
so we brought a bribe.

Shrimp tacos. And some
"special" brownies.

- Dude.
- Please. Hearing about

your family is a matter
of great importance to us.

Fine.

But I'm gonna need
all the brownies.

This...
is a Manticulum.

My own design.

It uses algorithmic magic
to calculate probabilities.

How's that

- help us fight the Gods?
- It can't,

on its own. We have to combine
it with something else.

Something like that game that
you, me and Landon played once.

That's why you're here, nerd.

Oh. Oh!

It's like a tabletop RPG.

Or, like, a super-
accurate D&D campaign.

This thing is, like, smart
dice that will tell us

the outcome
of any attack or defense.

We can use this
to war game

what would happen
in an actual battle.

All we need to do
is encode our powers

into the Mant...
the Man... uh...

- Manticulum.
- Manticulum.

So we need to rate
everyone's skills, then.

Oh, I've already done that.

This is a pointless

waste of time.

Well, we signed a contract.

We have to uphold
our end of the deal.

A deal with a wish-granting
jinni who enslaves people?

We don't have another choice.

Behold.

Another choice.

Look, I don't like it
any more than you do.

But we're still helping people
get to Peace.

And helping our insufferable
overlord get to Peace, too!

Which would free
everyone enslaved to him,

including us.

We're doing this together.

All right, I'll talk
to the poor wayward souls.

But I don't think
you're gonna like what I say.

Meaning what?

Meaning...

you help them

get to Peace...

while I present...

a counterpoint.

Maybe it's better
to not let things go.

To hold onto the past,

and your anger, yeah.

Forgiveness is for suckers.
That's what I say!

If we go back to the jinni
without any coins,

we're gonna get...

You're trying to get us fired.

Of course I am.

The only way to get
out of a terrible job

is to suck at it.

Buck up, lad.

We're already dead.

What's the worst
he can do to us?

Oh, hell nah.

You did me dirty.

They're just
preliminary guesses,

which is why we need
to do some tests

to confirm your stats.

Speed: 92?

Mine's 94.
That's what I'm saying.

There's no way
he's faster than me.

Actually, he might be.

But your dragon
powers give you

a plus-20 to defense

and a plus-40 for offense.
In a straight fight,

- you can definitely beat him.
- But...

he's got to catch me first.

Let's do this.

And... go!

Aw.

My powers? Right.

I have the teleportation

and intangibility
of a Pukwudgie.

I-I can also
just turn invisible,

which must be...

from another monster,
but, uh, we haven't...

figured out exactly
which one yet.

It's-it's kind of like
I have two different

gas pedals,
and-and I'm not always sure

which one I'm-I'm pressing.

I see. Well...

whenever you're
ready, please,

try to teleport
across the room.

I am.

Well done, indeed.

My, uh, stat sheet is, uh,

a little out of date.

But, um, she's
basically, uh...

Human.

I know I'm not as impressive
without using my magic, but...

I still want to fight.

I can't stand by and watch
while my friends are in danger.

I'd say courage plus-ten.

I'd like to help.

I'm sure we're all keen
to see what a God

is capable of.

DemiGod.

But I can't join you.

I'm forbidden from fighting
against my family.

It's the other side of the curse
my father put on me.

But I can

tell you what they would do
in a fight.

I should play the side
of the enemy in this game.

Well, there's only
one person left to test.

No test needed.

Right, Wayne?

Uh, well, I made up
a humanity-off sheet for her.

And she's basically
the perfect fighter.

Hmm. Uh, incredible magical

power levels,
unencumbered by morality,

with no discernible weaknesses.

Except for one little thing.

She's seeing people
who aren't really there.

This is your field of battle.

You can't ignore me forever.

Vampires can move across
the board in one turn.

The speed of the Gods varies.

And these... are your opponents.

I took the liberty
of creating some automatons

for the purposes of our game.

Hopefully, I did them justice.

I haven't used
magic to sculpt

since the last Wizard Games.

Aurora DeMartel.

My erstwhile student, Jen.

Her father, Ken.

The father
of an entire family of Gods.

And finally...

Elizabeth.

Lizzie wouldn't fight
against us.

How much you willing to bet?

I'm afraid Hope is right.

To be sure of victory,
you must plan

for the worst-case scenario.

And Elizabeth
is a wild card.

But I scored

her loyalty
to the Gods pretty low.

She can still be flipped
back to our side.

The two sides will
alternate turns,

with the Manticulum
declaring success

or failure of your moves based
on the scores we've fed it.

We'll draw for first move.

Left one. Got to
be the left one.

Right one.

The first move is yours.

Here's all you need to know
about my family.

The Gods are
a bunch of douche bags.

Except for Chronos.
God of Time.

Never once forgot my birthday.

Get it?

Because...

good with time.

They all thought I was a freak,

because I didn't fit in.

They were into war

and destruction,
and I was

more into... construction.

I was a blacksmith.

An artist.

My father hated me for that.

His name is Ken.

He demanded I make
weapons for the Gods.

But I was like, "No
way am I gonna make

something that
takes a life."

So I offered

to make armor to protect them.

My father cast me out.

Said I wasn't one of them.

Because I had the
heart of a coward.

So I worked in my cave.

Alone.

Forgotten.

Until one day,

out of nowhere,

my dad actually came to see me.

And he used a word

he had never said to me before.

Hello, Daughter.

Your skill at the forge is...

unparalleled.

Um, I'm pleased
to find favor, My Lord.

Well, today it is
your favor that I seek.

You offered me protection once.

And for the first time...

we need it.

I had never seen that look
on his face before,

so it took me
a minute to figure out

what it was.

My all-powerful father
was afraid.

What does
an omnipotent deity fear?

Gods are only as powerful
as people's belief

in them, which had diminished
over the years.

And then,
the ultimate

death sentence for a God
came along.

A creature

that could make the world
forget you ever existed.

Malivore.

If we could just talk to Lizzie,

we can flip her
back to our side.

Our first move should be
getting her to safety.

I'd listen to him.

You're wasting our first strike.

This is war, okay?
People are gonna die.

She's valuable in war, Hope.

MG vamps to Lizzie.

Hey, beautiful.

Aurora attacks MG.

Aurora kills MG.

Which turns Lizzie to your side.

Ah, so not a total loss.

In a rage,

Lizzie kills Aurora.

My father attacks Lizzie.

Lizzie dies.

Well, looks like we're gonna be
going to another Lizzie funeral.

The probability of success

has dropped to zero percent.

You lose.

Fascinating.

As soon as Lizzie died,
there was simply

no move you could make
that would lead to victory.

- Why?
- I don't know.

But I'd presume
there's a reason she

is invaluable to winning.

Okay, so we have to save Lizzie.

Let's go again.

♪ I fell so hard...

Have I thanked you yet
for getting us fired?

This is way better.
How was I supposed

to know Zied had other jobs
he could assign us to?

We should give that a moment.

Elvis.

What happened to you?

I was mugged, little man.

I was walking down
Mulberry Street,

carrying a satchel full
of coins when these fellas...

Man, they jumped me
out of nowhere.

Did a number
on the ol' moneymaker.

And they took
my bag, too.

Yeah, pray
that heartless

Smurf doesn't demote you
to toilet duty.

Nah, nah, he knows
it ain't my fault.

It's that gosh-darned
bandit, man.

He's been bushwhacking Zied's
couriers for the last month.

You're saying there's a bandit
who's stealing from Zied?

Well, that's very
valuable information.

Thank you.

Thank you very much.

Oh, yeah, that's real original.

I'm shook up, man.

- Oh! Whoo...
- No. Whatever you're thinking, no.

You've already made our
lives worse once today.

Our enemy has an enemy.

What does that make him?

A thief and a bully.

He's stealing coins
that were rightfully earned.

What is the man we're working
for right now doing, huh?

You think by following
the rules that

you're doing more good than bad.

But that's just what
people tell themselves

when they can't see
another way to do it.

Now, you can stay here
and suffer if you must.

I'm finding another way.

Your chance of success

- drops to zero.
- You lose again.

You're going about
this all wrong.

Your problem is that

you've already lost
before you even make a move.

What's the matter?

Nothing.

Aurora's older,

so she's faster
than our vampires.

Which means we should take
her out and then save Lizzie.

Except seeing any of us
in danger flips Lizzie

back to our side,
leaving her all alone.

And if we try to save her
first, we still lose her.

It's almost like
no matter what move

- we make...
- We've already lost.

The problem is that
we're going first.

I mean, we're facing them
all at once.

We should be
forcing them to fight us.

I told you to
pick the left one.

Okay.

I decline the first move.

Aurora attacks Hope.

I throw up a shield.

Aurora is knocked off her feet.

Let's see how a vampire does

against dragon fire.

Kaleb kills Aurora.

- All right.
- Yes!

Now MG vamps to Lizzie.

My father attacks them.

MG is just fast enough.

They make it out
before he strikes.

Yes!

Lizzie is safe.

Let's go!

That's what I'm
talking... Yes.

Let's do it!

All right!

Okay, let's kill some Gods.

Still a mouth-breather, I see.

What are you doing?

Looking for a drink.
There's only so much

rah-rah camaraderie
I can handle.

Brings out a side of me
I'm not exactly a big fan of.

Hence, something to make

team building
a little bit more bearable.

You're gonna need
more than you think.

Because...

we just had a breakthrough.

Hmm. How many people
did you lose?

None. Dr. Saltzman realized
why none of our attacks

were working.
Instead of using our powers,

we need to take theirs away.

Lizzie.

If we buy her enough time

to turn back to our side,
she can siphon a God.

- That's why we needed to be saved.
- She siphoned Jen.

And it weakened her enough
that I could teleport

her off the board
and out of the fight.

I pulled off the jump
that time.

Now it's just the big guy left.

And we need your help because

we don't know
what move to make now.

I know what I need to do next.

So, picture this.

My dad...

King of all bros...

Asks for my help

so that he can hide
from a fight.

That's why you made
the sarcophaguses.

It was genius.

My family would be spelled
to sleep until Malivore

was destroyed and,
as an incentive,

my father promised
a boon to whoever

defeated Malivore
and woke us up.

A boon is just
God-talk for favor.

Interesting.

- A favor from the Gods.
- Wait, Malivore's dead.

So why didn't
your family wake up?

Because...

I lied.

The spell to wake them up
never existed.

After a millennia, my father

was finally offering me a place
in the family by his side.

But all I could think about
was how he punished humans

for every little thing...

with earthquakes, fires, floods.

My family were
the real monsters,

and I didn't want
to be like them.

So I locked them up

and destroyed the key.

You betrayed your own family.

Big time.

And if they ever wake up
and find that out,

I'm in for a world of hurt.

So... I

can't let anyone
set them free.

Including you two dudes.

Down to just Ken now.

I think this is where
the Tribrid steps in.

Not yet.

I'm gonna soften him
with my pawns first.

Kaleb goes airborne.

My father pierces
the sky with lightning.

The lightning kills Kaleb.

Fine, MG attacks.

MG dies.

My father moves forward.

You're up, Cleo.

Cleo dies.

Big surprise.

All right,
now it's him versus me.

Skip to the end.
Who wins?

I'm afraid
he's still too strong.

Hope would lose.

Run it again.

Here's what I don't get.

If you wanted to rid the world
of your family,

you could've just tossed
those fancy coffins

into a volcano or something.

I didn't want
to lose track of 'em.

What?

I didn't want
to lose track of them.

Or...

maybe you couldn't
bring yourself

to actually close the door
on your family forever.

I totally get it.

I have this friend, Hope.

She has done

some awful things.

But when I had the chance

to put her down,
couldn't do it.

Which makes me
assume

that it wasn't so easy

to betray your family
as you're pretending it was.

You never destroyed
the key, did you?

Yeah.

Families...

They got a weird hold
on us, huh?

I couldn't kill
my family.

I definitely couldn't trust
myself with that key,

in case I chickened out.

So...

I had to put it where
I could never get it again.

I had a half brother.

Ben.

My family treated him even worse
than they did me.

He was chained to a rock
to be eaten alive by monsters

and then come back to life
and do it all over again.

I used to sneak bread and water
to him if I could.

It was our little secret.

But this time, I had a secret
he couldn't know about.

Oh.

It's just you.

Good news.

Our father's asleep.

I can finally set you free.

That wasn't enough.

I had to get rid of
that key forever.

Quickly.

Release me.
We can still outrun him.

I'm sorry.

But the curse will remain
as long as Father lives.

You will still be hunted
by monsters

every day of your life,
but if you can get absorbed

into Malivore,
it can finally stop.

This is setting you free.

No.

No.

No!

And then he was just...

gone.

Biggest bummer is
the Malivore forgetting spell

doesn't work on the Gods.

I remember
everything.

I remember the look on his face.

With Malivore dead...

Wherever Ben is,

he's there for eternity.

So, I'll never get the chance
to apologize

and explain that I hated
what I had to do.

But I had already
gone too far.

Sometimes...

The only way out is through.

Mm. So...

sorry for your loss.

We now see that we were wrong.

If the key is lost forever,
there is no way to raise

- the Gods.
- Mm.

Well,

thank you so much
for your time.

You have been
exceedingly generous.

Okay.

Hey, dudes.

This was a decent hang.

We could do it again sometime?

Yes.

Yes, let's do it
again sometime.

They all attack.

He kills them all.

But they do real damage first.

I attack next.

It's not enough.

He defeats you.

- Need my help yet?
- Shut up!

We need more cannon fodder.

How many students are there
at the school?

- Hope!
- If the vampires

and the wolves attack him
in waves, killing them

- is gonna keep him occupied until...
- No!

W-We're done. Okay?

You've been running us
into the buzz saw

all day like we're expendable!

You only care
about yourself.

So just leave us out of it.

'Cause this
version of you...

...it ain't
worth dying for.

Looks like it's just
you and me, kiddo.

You wanted my attention?
Fine.

- Let's talk.
- Keep your voice down.

Otherwise people
might think

- you're crazy.
- Enough.

I've tried this your way
and it hasn't worked.

Or you didn't
go far enough.

No. No more of these mind games
and riddles.

Okay?
Leave me alone.

Have you learned
nothing today?

Alone is the exact way
you can't do it.

Like it or not, you need me.

Need you?

The weak little girl
who was manipulated

by two different fake Landons

and then couldn't bring herself
to kill the real one?

No.

I don't need anything from you.

Except for a way
to win the game.

For once, the almighty Tribrid
doesn't have the answer.

That's a scary feeling,

isn't it?

You're gonna have
to listen to me.

Let's just talk about this.

We know where
the key is.

But what we don't know is
if we should even be doing this.

You heard what Jen said
about her father.

We can't just wake
that guy up.

He murders
for fun.

Okay, we made an agreement,

you and I.
An agreement

to raise a God.

We're just changing
which God we raise.

Jen said the God of time
is decent.

So we wake him up instead.

Then we can go back and fix
what went wrong without

rolling the dice
on Dad waking up cranky.

We're trying to be
better people, remember?

No more revenge.
No more bloodshed.

We just want our...

...family back.

I'm sorry about Elizabeth.

How did she seem?

When you saw her.

Lost.

I think recent events
have left her a little adrift.

All the people she counted
on the most to help her

suddenly weren't there for her.

Including me.

Maybe this never should have
been our fight to begin with.

They're still kids.

Dealing with more than...

any kids were meant to.

True.

That's to be expected.

Every generation
makes a mess of it

and... has to pray
the next generation

can break the pattern,
save the world.

These students
are extraordinary.

If anyone
can find their way,

they can.

Including Lizzie.

I know what we should do.

I want to try again.

But this time,
run it with my humanity on.

All right.
I've adjusted her stats.

I'll be honest, I don't see

how this is
much of a battle upgrade.

Much remains to be seen, Wade.

Your move, my dear.

I wouldn't send everyone
in to weaken him.

I'd put myself in danger
first because I can take it.

I hold the line
as long as I can,

giving them
the best chance.

I attack Ken alone.

You do damage.

He's still standing.

My father calls down lightning.

You're wounded.

Your life force
is down to 70%.

I vamp around him...

...drawing his fire,
distracting him.

My father keeps striking.

You're hit.

You can only run so long.

Life force to 40%.

I move into
close-quarter combat,

inside the reach
of his lightning.

Your blows do damage,

but you're too weak
to block his.

My father keeps attacking.

He knocks you down. 30%.

Hope, you have to get
out of there.

No. I don't run.

I get back up.

He knocks you down again.

Your vision is blurring. 20%.

I get back up.

Five percent.

You have one move left.

I'll take the hit for her.

I take the next one.

We all do.

Lizzie would, too.

My father's alive.

- Calm yourself.
- I can't calm down.

My dad's already back,
which means

this whole plan is pointless.

But if I don't go through with
it, then this stupid blood pact

will turn me into brisket.
No, it won't.

Because I won't consider
you quitting a betrayal.

Go to him.

If I could have Tristan back,

I wouldn't let some silly brand
keep me from that.

You're not just trying
to trick me into betraying you?

Look, once upon a time,
I absolutely would have, but...

we're trying to be
better people, are we not?

I can't deprive you
of your happiness

when it's right there
in front of you.

I will raise the God of time

to get my family back.

You go to yours.

Thank you.

And if raising him doesn't work?

Then I'll do whatever I have to.

But if you try to raise Ken,
I'll have to tell my dad.

They'll try and stop you.

We all will.

Then I would consider that
a betrayal.

Then I die.

You have a choice to make,
Elizabeth.

Stop now,
risk losing everything.

Or keep going.

Help me raise the better God

and see it through to the end.

They score
another hit on Ken.

I don't understand.

What changed?

She's giving them courage.

A belief
they can win.

Having the real Hope
as their leader,

it's increasing
each of their powers.

It might just be enough.

My father retreats.

Yes. Let's go.

It's time to finish him.

We attack as one.

You succeed!

Yes!

Yes! Yeah!

That was rather exciting.

See?

We can win.

Just turn it all back on.
Let me out

before you
lose control.

This is all just a stupid game.

No, it's not real.
It's just a spreadsheet.

You are pathetic.

Little boys role-playing war.

And you're all gonna die.

Don't you see that?

You're just disposable.

I mean, you mean nothing to me.

- Hope.
- And you.

You're a liar.

And a martyr.

And you're never gonna save
the people that you love

because you're just
not strong enough.

What are you all doing?!

Don't you see I'm about to kill
you all?! Someone take me out!

Someone take me out!

The therapy box is...

good as new.

And I've added
a few settings.

An upgrade, if you will.

I've heard you were
quite skilled at magic yourself.

I'm afraid those days
might be behind me.

Perhaps.

Perhaps not.

May I?

I find it rather curious
that you experience pain

when trying
to do magic.

Most of the time, when a witch
loses her connection

to magic, it's all or nothing.

We often associate pain
with something going wrong.

In reality,

pain is merely a signal
that something is changing.

Hey.

Look, I know I'm not supposed
to be putting myself in charge

of protecting you,

but today
wasn't cool.

I'm not okay with none of that.
Now, I can't stand by...

No, no, you're right.

I think it's time to figure out
what is happening with me.

Hey, man.

That was one hell of a jump
you pulled off

in the game, E.

Yeah, it felt good to finally be
in control for once.

But it also made me
realize that,

if I don't get better at my
own powers, people might...

die.

Um... or it...

it could happen either way.

Wade told me that, in
the final moments of the battle,

at least two of us
would have died.

There's no version of us winning
without losing someone.

I think you and I

should make a promise.

That, no matter what,

it won't be Lizzie.

No matter what,

it won't be her.

Whatever shall I do?!

This bag of coins is so heavy!

Hope my tired muscles are
strong enough to haul this take

to Zied!

Laying it on a little thick,
don't you think?

Ah.

I see.

You're here
to scuttle my plan

the same way
I interfered with yours.

No, I'm here to help.

With my bags full
of all the coins

I earned today!

What happened
to your high-minded ideals

about following the rules?

We're partners.

The first rule is you don't
leave each other behind.

Though I still think
this is a bad idea.

What if this Bandit

is, like, I don't know...

Vlad the Impaler?

Oh, Vlad was a softie deep down.
Okay,

just do me one favor...
If this Bandit guy is worse

than the jinni,
we find another way.

Deal!

I have no desire to swap
one tyrant for another.

Get off me!

To theoretical victory.

Ugh, I am so glad
that's over.

Thinking like my father is one
of the more unpleasant things

I've ever done.

Felt awful,
having to kill you all.

Really?

You feel bad about something?

Wow. Are you
suggesting

that I'm...

How do you say it? Uh, a downer?

Well, just, um...

not exactly an optimist.

But I did feel optimistic today.

For the first
time ever,

I saw that there's... a chance.

However small

and fragile...

that someone
could finally stop my family.

Silly to get my hopes up,
I'm sure.

Well, today I got
a crash course reminder in...

how short and unpredictable
life can be.

Made me want to appreciate
all the good things...

...and the good people
while we have them.

So I say hold on
to that optimism.

It's worth protecting.

♪ Banging on a drum...

You know, I think
if we're not careful...

you might wind up making me
a better person, Jed.

♪ Maybe I'm...

Yeah.

Same.

♪ But I'm rising...

I should, uh,
check up on Finch real quick.

Uh, she's been handling
the pack for me.

But after that,
refills coming up.

Okay.

Hello, Ben.

Last time we met...

...I didn't put up
much of a fight.

I can promise you I won't be
so easy to defeat this time.

Well, of course not, darling.
That's why I brought help.

I've been worrying
about my girls today.

I'm glad you called.

No.
Nothing from Lizzie.

I know.

I think you and MG
were right about Hope.

She's close.

So, whatever you're planning...

I think now's the opening
you've been waiting for.
