Original subtitles

[upbeat music playing]

[Charlie screaming]

[panting] Oh, my God, oh, my God.

I-I have to tell Vaggie.

[gasping, panting]

Guys. Holy shit. Holy fuck.

Emily just appeared to me in office with portal.

Whoa, whoa, there, Charlie babe.

Remember what we said about breathing? And it being a good thing to do?

[Charlie inhales deeply]

Emily just portaled in front of me all, "Hey, it's me, Emily.

Heaven is closing down because you killed a bunch of angels

and everyone's scared, but don't worry.

Oh, yeah, and also, Sir Pentious is here in Heaven. Okay, bye."

-[gasps] -What?

Pentious is in Heaven?

That means the hotel works.

I can't believe it. We did it.

We did it! Redemption is possible, Vaggie.

I knew it. I knew it.

Ha! Ha! Ha! I got to let everybody know.

[Charlie laughing]

Charlie, hang on. Wait up.

I thought Charlie said no more drugs.

-[grumbles] -Charlie, are you absolutely sure

that's what Emily said?

I'm a thousand million zillion percent sure.

[laughs] Isn't this amazing, Vaggie?

Ooh, I cannot wait to see the look on Dad's face when he finds out.

Okay, a lot is happening.

Everything we've been working for has been proven right, on a Thursday.

[quirky music playing]

[gasps] What? I don't... I would never...

Who-who even advertises on a zeppelin?

I-I... I guess Pentious would, huh?

[gasps] Right. Focus, Charlie. Charlie.

I got to get this taken down before all of the Pentagram sees

and they start... [gasps]

Oh.

[laughs]

Whoa, whoa, Charlie, before you get any crazy ideas,

what was that about Heaven going into lockdown?

Did Emily say why? Can we talk to her?

Are the Exterminations still on?

Or did they even show you that Pentious was actually there?

Wait, what are you doing?

Uh, just sending off a little strongly worded email to Voxtek

explaining that not only am I not a dictator

but also to send their top reporter over here right away

so we can clear the hotel's name with an exclusive interview.

Mm-hmm. And we need to do this right now because...?

Because it's the perfect opportunity.

Okay, I do one quick little interview

before dropping the absolute bombshell

that redemption is possible.

Our message is broadcast to all of Pentagram City,

people will flood to the hotel wanting to be redeemed,

we redeem them, then Heaven will go,

"Oh, gosh, Charlie, you are, like, so cool and your hotel is great

and let's work together and be friends forever."

Yeah, I'm just not sure reaching out to the overlords

trying to make you look like a horrible monster is the best idea.

But this changes everything.

Vaggie, it's a big story.

I bet Voxtek will change their tune when they hear it.

Just take care of the guests for me until I'm done.

Okay. Love you. Bye.

[humming]

[sighs]

[Vox] Hmm.

[exhales sharply]

[chuckling] Ooh, no way. She...

[laughs] Velvette.

You're fucking joking.

Looks like we got our spin, V.

[both laughing]

Well, I'll be damned.

I guess the kid actually did it.

What the actual fuck?

What do you mean? This isn't fucking funny.

You actually believe her crazy talk?

I mean, Pentious was kind of a big softy.

I guess all that apologizing and crying really paid off.

[scoffs] Yeah, nah.

Dude was an absolute dick.

Just some wannabe overlord simp that kept messing with my shit

every chance he got for the past fucking forever.

I mean, how the fuck does that get you redeemed?

Hey, I'm not saying I knew the guy.

I'm just saying it makes sense.

If anyone was gonna make it up there, it was him.

Or maybe Angel on a good day.

[laughing] Oh.

Them's fucking words, kitty.

-Choke. -Ha. I'd love to.

I mean, guess I didn't really know the guy, huh?

I figured he was kind of soft when he did his whole weird-ass

-"Remember me" bullshit, but... -[Angel Dust laughing]

You know, that Baxter guy was spouting some shit

about them working together when he first arrived.

Sure you could ask him a thing or two if you're wondering.

I'm gonna get some air.

Mm-hmm.

His room's in the basement.

I'm not fucking going, okay?

Bye, bitches. [grunts]

Uh, okay.

-[lighthearted music playing] -[Charlie humming]

Alastor. Alastor?

-Guess what. -[knocking on door]

You are never going to believe what-- Oh, wow, that was fast.

Uh, welcome to the Hazbin Hotel.

Oh, it's a pleasure to finally meet you, Princess.

Oh, and where are my manners?

The name's Vox, CEO of Voxtek Entertainment,

and this is my lovely associate Velvette.

[Velvette] Charmed.

Anyway, you said to send the best, and I just couldn't miss this opportunity

to interview Hell's most controversial figure

and her apologists.

-Now, where's Alastor? -Alastor?

[chuckling] I mean, he's right... um, he-he's out.

[chuckles] You'd think the so-called "host of the hotel"

would greet guests at the door, but what do I know

about running a successful business?

Velvette, sweetie, what are we working with here?

It's giving tacky.

Shitty lighting, clashing themes

and too much red.

-But I can make it work. -Perfect.

But before we begin, Princess, you know what this place really needs?

The new Voxtek 150-inch TV right over there.

Brought to you by Voxtek.

[inhales] You're welcome.

Oh, wow, thank you.

Now, if I could just direct your attention over to this really important thing

-that I wanted to tell you about-- -[Vox] And rolling!

Take a seat right over here, Princess.

Let's start with something easy, hmm?

What's your plan for the next Extermination,

and will you be protecting everyone,

not just your, uh, favorite characters?

-What? No. -[people gasping]

You won't be protecting?

-Interesting. -Is it true you believe sinners

need to "change literally everything about themselves"

in order to be redeemed?

And that the Morningstars currently dislike

98% of the population of sinners?

Dislike sinners? What?

-Uh, I mean, my dad-- -Hates sinners?

-Interesting. -And the main question

-on everyone's mind: what-- -Actually,

I kind of sort of lied about wanting to give an exclusive interview.

-What? -[gasps] Liar.

Because I have bigger news.

Huge exclusive news, and I wanted Voxtek

to be the first to hear it.

Keep rolling.

Well, one of our guests,

Sir Pentious,

has been redeemed.

Redemption is possible!

Which proves that the Hazbin Hotel actually works!

Take that, fuckers.

You can't be serious. That's...

good television!

Congratulations, Princess!

Bring the lucky sinner-- or should I say "winner"-- on down!

Velvette, start a live broadcast.

Whoa! Wait, wait. Well, he's not...

actually here anymore since, you know, he's...

[chuckles] in Heaven now.

That's how redemption works.

You go up.

Oh. Then how will you prove these fantastical claims?

And how do you know he's actually, well, up there?

Did a little angel fly down, tell you that?

Yes! Well, technically, she used a portal, so, um...

I think we've heard enough. Velvette, call the limo.

What? You can't leave yet.

You just got here, and my news isn't even out there yet.

Sorry, Princess. While it was fun being lied to and all,

I can't broadcast this without proof.

The last thing I want to do is spread misinformation.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait!

I'll prove it!

Yeah, we'll redeem someone.

Right here, right now.

All I ask is you film it

so everyone can see what the hotel really is.

Now, that could be something.

Velvette, get your camera ready.

Let's get some B-roll of the hotel.

Princess, let's walk and talk.

Who are we redeeming?

-[chuckling] And why? -Uh...

-[whimsical music playing] -[squeak]

-[soft screeching] -Mm.

Ooh. Fascinating.

-Hey. -[yelps]

Learn to announce yourself, woman!

You work for Voxtek?

You little shit.

I'm a bioscientist in Hell. Of course I work for Voxtek.

Now, I'm very busy.

Why are you here and what will it take to make you leave?

Huh. I don't know.

Word is upstairs you used to know Pentious.

Ugh, we were partners.

Oh!

So you were like...?

What?! Lab partners!

But I was clearly superior,

and that's all there is to know.

[whimpers] Do not, wench!

Give me the full story or the lab gets it.

Okay, okay, fine.

We used to work together

back in the day.

I specialized in bioengineering

-and he in the boring engineering. -[explosion]

Together, we crafted various wonder-filled creations

that we shared with the citizens of Hell,

in hopes one day we could gain enough favor to become powerful overlords.

However, it quickly became apparent that his silly contraptions were too outdated

to gain us interest,

whereas my bio-experiments won the attention of many.

Eventually, Pentious found my experiments far too "violent" and "cruel,"

so he took the eggs and left to continue his frivolous turf war scheme

with that woman he was obsessed with.

You, I think.

Hmm.

Strange guy, I guess.

Now have I satisfied your request?

-I'm allergic to recollecting. -[soft screeching]

Achoo.

Fuck, do you have to be such a little freak?

I'm going through something here.

I implore you to go through it elsewhere,

like through the door.

You know what, fine. I'm going.

Thanks, I guess, shithead.

Hey, Charlie, you said you needed us?

And I still think about that little koala falling over at the zoo.

[whimpers] I'm so sorry.

Whoa, whoa.

-What the fuck are they doing here? -[Charlie sniffles, gasps]

Oh. Hey, Vaggie.

I was just showing Vox and Velvette here

how our confidential group venting sessions work.

Oh, that is so great.

Hey, can I borrow you for a sec?

Charlie, what the unholy fuck?

When you said you were messaging Voxtek,

I thought you'd just talk to some reporter on the street,

not the fucking media overlord!

Okay. Well, first,

technically, he is a reporter.

I think.

And, secondly, the other thing--

Charlie, why are they here?

You're aware those two crazy fucks hang out with my shit-fuck boss Valentino

and are part of the Vees,

and you still let them in here?

Vox is probably broadcasting to Val.

Oh, fuck, fuck, fuck. Uh...

Charlie, listen to me.

I don't know what they promised you,

but I'm telling you right now they are bad fucking news.

Horrible fucking news!

Okay, I've talked to Vox, and he assured me that he's just here

to film the hotel and put out a special tonight about what he sees here.

On the small, tiny, eensy-weensy-teensy condition that we, uh...

redeem someone.

Yeah! Now that's where you come in, Angel.

What?!

Oh, you've really done it now, Princess.

Charlie, we don't even know how Pentious got redeemed.

How do you expect us to replicate that on TV?

And I ain't being your little guinea pig,

especially in front of Vox.

He gets off to watching people suffer.

Dude is an absolute cunt-fuck.

But, Angel, come on.

You're the one here closest to getting redeemed.

Look, you've quit drugs.

[stammers] Mostly.

You've been nailing your chore chart.

Sort of. And now that we know it can work,

we have an easy step-by-step guide to follow.

Charlie, uh, I don't know if--

Now, I normally stay the hell out of all this redemption business,

but she got a point there, legs.

Besides, if Flathead and Baby Barbie try anything,

I'm sure Alastor's floating around here somewhere, ready to throw down.

Angel, I realize I'm asking a lot,

but you've just made such great progress lately.

I bet you're one good deed away from redemption already. [chuckles]

-Please? -Hey. Sorry.

Are we interrupting something?

We don't really have all day.

I was just looking for a volunteer.

And you went to Angel Dust?

I'm guessing it's because he's such a...

pleasant person to be around?

Hold on, V.

The star power's always good for viewership.

Charlie picked him 'cause if anyone around here's gonna make it,

-he will. -Oh.

I didn't know they let pets stay here, too.

-Cute. -[snarls]

What do you say, kid?

Best case, you make it.

Worst case, you're still stuck down here with me

and we down a couple of rounds with Cherri later.

You know she ain't gonna let up.

Ugh!

You both owe me for this.

Big-time.

All right!

Show me redemption.

-[suspenseful music playing] -[whistle blowing]

For our final attempt,

a poor helpless damsel

has been tied to the train tracks by me,

the Diabolical Danny Do-Bad!

[cackling]

I shouldn't have said nothing.

Help. I'm stuck.

Or whatever.

And look!

The 5:00 train

-with a deadly weapon tied to the front. -[whistle blowing]

[chuckles diabolically]

Right on time for once.

[inhales] If only there was a big, strong man

willing to sacrifice himself to save the poor damsel.

Just like the great Sir Pentious did.

[chuckles]

And I definitely don't have a way to stop this train in case things go bad.

Pretty sure one of Val's pornos opened just like this.

Add plagiarism to the list.

[Southern accent] I'm a big, strong man

with so many redeemable qualities.

[normal voice] All right, nope. Nope. Nope.

Come on, Charlie, this ain't gonna work.

I ain't nothing like Pen.

Charlie?

Who is this Charlie character?

The Diabolical Danny Do-Bad

does not listen to her friends.

Oh, no!

Look out, Sheriff Dust.

The train is reaching the drop!

The damsel!

Ugh, this is dumb.

I ain't doing it, Charlie.

But, Angel, this is our last chance to--

Nup.

But...

[sighs]

Okay.

Wha? Wha?

-Wh-Whoa, whoa, whoa, what? -Oh, yeah.

I noticed your little train didn't actually pose any risk,

so I took the brakes off.

[dramatic music playing]

You're welcome.

What? You what?

Niffty, stop the train. Niffty!

-Stop the train...! -[laughing]

[whistle blowing]

-Husk, get out of the way! -[slurping]

Oh! Oh, yeah!

Sure thing!

Except you tied me to the fucking tracks!

Fuck, Charlie, I said I am done.

-Angel, the brakes are cut! -[Husk grunting]

Husk!

♪ ♪

[grunting]

-Angel! -[whistle blowing]

[grunts]

-Damn. -You two okay?

Charlie, what the fuck happened?

Angel, Husk,

I'm so glad you're okay.

Ugh, I'm sorry.

Charlie, it's okay. I know you didn't mean it. I'm fine.

The hell you are!

What was that?

You could've got yourself killed!

What? Y-You can't be serious right now.

Y-You're mad at me?

I saved your fucking life!

Yeah! By jumping in front of a train, you idiot!

You pull shit like that again, and I'll...

I'll... I'll fucking spank you.

Pull what shit? What?

The shit that you volunteered me for?

Yeah. 'Cause I know how much you actually want this.

No.

You know what, forget it.

This is why I never say shit.

-I'm out. -[scoffs]

I'll say it again.

I don't need your help, whiskers!

[clapping]

-Bravo! The tension! The drama! -[cheering, applause]

Ah! What a show. [laughs]

Unfortunately, Princess, it seems Angel is still here

and remains an irredeemable piece of shit.

-[crowd] Aw. -Aw.

Who saw that coming?

All of us, really.

No, I-I just know it is possible.

Even though we tried everything Pentious did,

there-there's got to be something I'm missing.

Look, Charlie, Angel is not Pentious,

and things have already gotten out of hand today.

Just send these assholes home.

He's not Pentious.

Maybe...

maybe that's it!

Okay, we have been trying to re-create Pentious's redemption,

but maybe, maybe what he did redeemed his own sin.

That's why it didn't work for Angel.

All we need to do is have Angel act against his sins!

Whoa there, toots.

Not here and not today. [chuckles nervously]

Remember that lesson on boundaries?

Oh, come on. We won't judge you, Angel.

You can tell me. Then we can redeem you.

It ain't that easy, Charlie. Now drop it.

It really isn't, is it?

Don't you dare, asshole.

Tell me, Princess, what exercise could one do

to be forgiven for being a...

-Stop. -...murderer?

You shut the fuck up!

Don't you dare call me tha--

Killed your dad, right?

Least that's what Val told me.

-What did he do? Hit you? -Hey!

That's enough!

[chuckling] Whoa! Careful now, Princess.

That's no way to speak to a guest.

You asked!

I answered.

You can shit on me.

You can mock me.

But I won't allow you to push my friends around like that, okay?

I don't care who you are.

I think it's time you two leave.

Now, that's rich.

I'd like to remind you that you invited us here.

Yeah, but now she's uninviting you.

All 'cause Angel got his knickers in a twist?

-Sad. -Fine.

We have a reservation at Dante's Inferno anyway.

Very nice place.

You could never afford it.

But how 'bout one last question for the road, Princess?

Do you think I could be redeemed?

I believe anyone can be redeemed.

Right, then.

I can almost see why Alastor humors you. [laughs]

Oh, and, Angel, I'll be sure to tell Valentino you said...

hello.

Come now, Velvette!

Seems to me not everyone is welcome here at the Hazbin Hotel.

I'm afraid not.

Until next time, Princess.

Voxtek!

Trust us with your public image.

Ugh! [scoffs]

Damn it, Vox. Again?

-Fuck's sake. -Angel, I'm so sorry.

-Can we please talk-- -You know, "sorry" starts to lose meaning

after a while, Charlie.

But I suppose I should be grateful

you're willing to still apologize to someone as shitty as me, right?

Angel, no, you're my friend, no matter what happens.

At least now you know what you're working with.

Why don't you go ask Vox the next time you need to pry out more shit about my life.

Angel, I didn't realize. I-I didn't--

Just give him some space.

It's been a long day for everyone.

[melancholy music playing]

[both cackling]

Oh! Ah!

[laughs] Oh!

That was perfect.

Did you get the moment where she noticed the brakes?

Oh, I got it at three angles, babe.

Got to say, the Angel Dust trauma dump was a nice touch.

Thank you, thank you.

Now, what's the recap?

Got a live up that's trending,

a fail compilation on Voxtube,

and a commercial ready to go.

-Want to run it now? -Run it.

-[line ringing] -[Vox] Want to know what really

goes down at the Hazbin Hotel?

Who Charlie Morningstar is? And can you trust her?

I lied. I'm Danny Do-Bad!

[Vox] We took a visit to the Hazbin Hotel so you don't have to.

Featuring interviews from real people

with real stories.

[distorted] When we arrived at the hotel, the vibe was...

definitely off.

I remember walking in and Charlie coming at me with an open fist.

Next thing I knew,

she struck me.

[Vox] For more truth, tune in for Hazbin Hotel: Behind Closed Doors

tonight at 8:00!

Brought to you by Voxtek.

Trust us with your information.

[Angel Dust inhales]

-[exhales] -Hey.

Hey.

-Long day? -I don't want to talk about it.

[Cherri sighs]

I decided...

to stay.
