Original subtitles

William Faulkner said, "The past is never dead."

"It's not even the past."

In fact, it's all still happening.

If Isaac's goal is to save his sister,

why kidnap Pugsley?

All right. Spread out, guys.

- You, that way. - Pugsley!

What does a brain-eating genius need

with my half-wit brother?

No sign of your son.

Any idea why someone would kidnap him?

It's a total mystery, Sheriff.

Can you think of anyone who has a grudge against your family?

Could this be some kind of revenge?

Are you blaming us for our son's kidnapping?

The search parties will run through the night.

Parents who were at the gala have already left with their kids.

All other students will be packed up

and on their way home by tomorrow afternoon.

I'm sorry. We're doing everything we can.

I sent your father and Lurch out to join the search parties.

They won't find Pugsley.

Isaac's too smart.

{n8}You need to work together, and to pool your psychic abilities to locate him.

My mother is a Dove who's blind to malevolence,

and my psychic ability is currently on an unauthorized leave of absence.

That's why you must turn to the other Raven in your family.

My mother?

These are desperate times.

Mama, I appreciate you coming back on such short notice.

Why would anyone bother kidnapping Pugsley?

Not to cast aspersions,

but I know higher value corpses than that boy.

His kidnapper isn't looking for ransom money.

He's being used as a pawn to keep us away, or a ploy to draw us in.

So many delightful memories of this room.

I can still hear the terrified shrieks of my classmates

during Rotwood's Advanced Possession Class.

Scaredy-cats.

This does require actual physical connection.

Now we must clear our minds of all past grievances.

My past grievances are like fine wine. They get better with age.

Likewise.

Doves and Ravens together ignite

With wings of darkness and piercing eyes

Guide us to truth through night and morn

To this let our powers be sworn

I didn't drive all this way to hold hands in the dark.

How long do we have to keep this up?

Mama! For once just be quiet. We're trying to find Pugsley.

I feel something.

- I feel it too. - Do you sense it, Wednesday?

Hurry, Gomez!

No one will ever know we were here.

I saw you and Father burying Isaac under the Skull Tree

back when you were students.

If there was ever a time to unburden yourself of the truth, now is it.

You've wasted enough of my time.

The night of Isaac's accident,

your father and I

were at his laboratory

in Iago Tower.

Isaac was certain his machine would permanently cure Francoise.

That she would never again live in fear of turning into a Hyde.

But the machine required a great amount of energy to power it.

And for that,

Isaac turned to his best friend.

Father.

What could Gomez have possibly contributed?

Back then, Gomez was just as electrifying as Pugsley.

And Gomez was more than happy to help his friend.

But Isaac tricked him.

He needed more than a spark.

Unbeknownst to Francoise,

Isaac was willing to sacrifice your father's life to save hers.

He even dug your father's grave

under the Skull Tree in preparation.

By the time I arrived,

my darling Gomez was close to death.

My sabotage sent the machine into a frenzy.

Francoise, she survived the explosion,

but Isaac didn't.

And as for your father,

the experience permanently robbed him of his Outcast ability.

Hmm.

Why cover it up?

Because Augustus Stonehurst threatened us.

We knew he built Isaac the lab in secret.

If we breathed a word, he would've turned us in for murder.

Hurry, Gomez.

No one will ever know we were here.

So you buried Isaac in the same grave he intended for Father?

Yes.

Isaac must be trying again.

This time using Pugsley as the power source.

That Addams headstone, the one I saw in my premonition,

must have Pugsley's name on it.

I think it's best that you and Thing go with Grandmama until Pugsley is found.

For once, your mother and I are in agreement.

These are our sins, Wednesday.

We will face them.

I won't put you in danger again.

Too late.

I'm sorry.

You deserve better than that.

I didn't realize we were back on speaking terms.

It took me a minute.

But I'm ready to be friends.

If that's cool with you.

I'd like that very much.

Why the change of heart?

I realized that our breakup wasn't about me.

You know, it's nobody's fault that your feelings changed.

So I can either be angry about it, or I can just accept it and move on.

Actually, Bianca told me that.

She can be very persuasive.

Please tell me that you're done with lying wolves and beta-gorgons.

I put together a list of potential boyfriends.

I already cross-referenced them based on compatible social media profiles.

Once you've narrowed it down,

I can pay each one an invisible visit.

See what they've left out of their bios.

Hmm.

I appreciate the assist,

but I think I'm gonna rip a page out of the Wednesday Addams playbook

and take a break from romance.

It's not very fun

to be tied up and treated like a pet...

is it?

"Mystery meat sandwich!"

"Your favorite."

Conserve your energy.

You're gonna need it.

I wish I was at least in one of these pictures.

I never understood your desire for a Normie life.

But... knowing what Stonehurst did to you in that lab...

Neither of us got the end that we deserved.

That changes tonight.

Promise me,

no matter what happens,

you'll do it.

What we discussed.

I need your word.

I made Hyde tracks about 20 miles north and dropped Pugsley's costume,

then made an anonymous tip like you said.

Good, huh?

That'll keep the cops off our trail.

Now, it's time to position your old flame onto the board.

Wednesday will know she's being played.

Yeah, an Addams... would never sacrifice one of their own.

Not even a pawn.

And that emotional weakness

will be our checkmate.

Any Pugsley update?

Still missing. But he's alive.

Isaac is hellbent on saving his sister.

I know he needs Pugsley. Just need to figure out when and where.

Crap. He's here.

Who?

Isaac?

No. My dad.

He usually sends some rando assistant to collect me.

Your mom couldn't come get you?

She's busy with her new Normie husband and baby.

I was the mistake that kept her and my dad together

long past their sell-by date.

Gunpowder, penicillin, the rack.

Those were all mistakes.

I just want to say that I love us.

We're like the three musketeers.

Careful.

Agnes!

Bye. See you next year.

I wish I could help, but I have to get to the Lupin cages.

Capri read me the riot act.

Lock in early and stay calm.

So I have my meditation app, my fave playlist,

and an extra supply of colloidal silver.

What could go wrong, right?

I'll be there first thing in the morning to let you out.

Promise?

You. We're waking the dead again.

How long until your corpse moths are airborne?

Unfortunately, they're permanently grounded.

Corpse moths only have a 36-hour life cycle.

Wednesday, I'm really sorry.

Pugsley wanted to be my friend and I blew him off.

Maybe if I'd been nicer, he wouldn't have felt the need

to become BFFs with a zombie.

I am my brother's keeper.

I simply should have caged him for his own protection.

I'm heading to the Hummer shed. Have to hibernate my bees early.

Wanna come...

Wednesday, I'm on my way to see your parents.

A hiker found Pugsley's costume.

I'm redeploying the search from Jericho to Burlington.

Sounds like a ploy to draw you off the scent.

I follow evidence, not hunches.

Finally, I get my office back.

Dort's crashing downfall has validated my legacy.

The board will now look back upon the Weems era with fondness.

Nevermore clearly needs a steady hand on the rudder.

A leader of impeccable moral character.

You covered up Rowan's murder and the existence of a Hyde.

Mistakes were made.

But that's all in the past.

I went out to the Hummers shed.

Slurp was there, except he looks totally human.

He told me to give you this.

Said if I breathe a word to anyone else, he'd come for me.

Wednesday, I'm scared.

Go back to your dorm. Lock the door.

Now!

Isaac thinks he can lure me out to finish me off.

When you get a clear shot...

put a bolt in his zombie brain.

Tyler warned me you were formidable.

And now I've witnessed the havoc you can wreak.

Give me my brother, crawl back into your hole, and stay dead this time.

- I know what you did to my father. - Yet I'm the one who died.

Thanks to him and your dear mother.

Why don't you let your brother pay for their mistakes,

and we'll call it even?

You don't have the machine.

Willow Hill and Iago Tower have been destroyed.

It would take months to rebuild.

By the time you did, it'd be too late to save your sister.

I... I applaud the effort.

You keep me talking

while your faithful right hand takes his shot.

Gotcha.

Except he's never been yours.

He's mine.

Turns out your parents didn't kill all of me that night.

Cute.

Imagine my surprise when I saw my right hand

wandering the halls of Willow Hill without me.

And a DaVinci... is nothing without his right hand.

Your mother cut it off.

Causing my machine to go out of control and explode.

The power surge must have somehow animated my hand.

In your case, the part is greater than the whole.

Now I am complete.

The Addams family

ends tonight.

Starting with you.

We have an appointment at Iago Tower.

Your pathetic little life will finally have a purpose.

Now we can finally fix our family.

Hello!

Come on.

{n8}Take a deep breath in, and slowly exhale.

{n8}Now visualize the wolf within.

{n8}A powerful but gentle spirit.

Be mindful that tonight belongs to tranquility...

Enid! I need you.

- Agnes? I thought you left. - I couldn't abandon Wednesday.

So I ditched my dad when he stopped for gas.

Isaac buried Wednesday under the Skull Tree.

And I can't dig her out.

What? Oh my God.

- Where's Thing? - Longer story.

I'll fill you in on the way. We haven't got much time!

Wednesday, we're here! Hang on!

I hear a heartbeat, but it's weak.

We aren't gonna get to her in time.

No, no, no.

I'm not strong enough like this.

You won't be able to turn back.

You're an Alpha.

I can't let her die.

Wednesday, wake up. Wake up!

Please. Please.

I enjoyed that.

Enid?

It was the only way to save you.

Go track her. Now!

Wednesday! Wednesday!

Thank the spirits.

Or just one in particular.

If you don't hurry, you'll have nothing left to save.

Where's Pugsley?

It's all still here.

Good.

How are we gonna put this junk back together?

We're not.

I am.

Even if you never told me the truth about Thing,

why didn't you tell him?

Because sometimes the truth is better left buried.

Thing had no memory of Isaac.

After everything Isaac did to your father, why burden Thing with that knowledge?

I like to think whatever trace of goodness was in Isaac somehow ended up in Thing.

Except now he's reattached to Isaac, and he's about to kill your son.

Mad scientist, cliché soundtrack.

Perfect.

Darling,

you call the sheriff.

Leave this to us.

Querida, save our boy.

Isaac, are you all right?

I'm fine.

Secure the power source.

I've been waiting for this moment for 30 years.

Get ready.

We're about to fry your battery.

It's time, Isaac.

Do it now.

Now!

You promised me.

Wait! What are you doing?

Mom, we're here to save you.

It's too late for me, sweetie.

This is your time now.

We can save you from this life.

Give you a fresh start.

No, no, you have no right to take my power from me!

Love you.

Don't do this. Please.

I love you, baby.

Mom!

You take the main staircase. I'll take the ladder.

Mom, please!

Mom!

We have company.

Please, don't do this!

Kill me.

- Why? - I missed.

Tyler, no!

No!

Isaac!

Isaac!

Isaac.

It's okay.

- Wednesday? - Shh.

It's your mommy.

I haven't enjoyed a mother-son relationship like this since Psycho.

Tyler? Honey?

Baby--

Hold on, Pugsley. Hold on.

Isaac!

You have something that belongs to me.

Come on! Come on!

Go.

Go, go, go!

Mom. Dad.

Tish!

Help me. Help me with this.

I guess your premonition didn't come true after all.

Because of you,

I lost the only person I ever truly loved.

Isaac! Isaac!

It's over.

Let my daughter go.

Sorry, old friend.

Now you two will know what real pain feels like.

One more step, and I snap her neck!

Thing, we know you're still in there.

Come back to us, Thing. We love you.

We're your family!

This was never part of your family.

It's a part of me!

You missed!

Come on, Thing.

What is happening?

- Ah! - Doesn't take a genius to figure that out.

Time's up.

Welcome back, Thing.

Knowing you were cut from the literal cloth of an evil genius,

it makes sense why we're so compatible.

How does it feel finally knowing the truth?

That you can't control the past. But the future is in your own hand.

What's it going to be?

- What have you been able to figure out? - This was on a wildlife cam this morning.

That's Enid.

She was heading north,

just five miles from the Canadian border.

What about Capri?

Was she able to provide intel that could tell us where Enid is going?

She's MIA.

Probably on the hunt for her next job,

now that Nevermore is nevermore.

Hello, Tyler.

Whoever you are, just walk away.

We both know you can't survive out here alone.

Not for long.

But I can save you.

Yeah, I'm done with mothers and masters.

I'm not interested in being either.

I'm offering...

a support system for people just like you.

Fellow Hydes,

hidden away where the world can't find them.

You'd be part of a pack,

creating a bond that transcends the need for a single master.

What's in it for you?

You're a werewolf. I can smell it from here.

My father was a Hyde.

This isn't gonna explode in my face, is it?

A little snack for the road.

Don't forget to pace yourself.

Whoa. Thanks.

You know, I was thinking,

over the break, if you're not too busy,

you could come for a visit?

Really? To your actual house?

That's what friends do, right?

Hmm.

Wednesday.

Wait.

I would like you to have something.

Aunt Ophelia's journal.

Yes.

As I keep being reminded,

harboring secrets can have deadly consequences.

Every family has dark chapters, Wednesday.

Including ours.

Thank you, Mother.

It's gratifying to see you two together.

Restoring your familial bond

was the first big step in regaining your psychic ability.

Now that it's happened, I'm taking a well-deserved sabbatical.

Whoever thought that the person to keep my spirit alive would be you?

Until we meet again, Wednesday.

Whoa, it's sunny out there.

It will be a relief sleeping under our own leaky roof tonight.

Oh, let's get your things. Vamos.

I won't be going home.

I got your message.

I'm always up for a road trip.

So where to? Slaughter Beach? Death Valley?

We're headed north to rescue Enid.

She's an Alpha.

Ooh, I hear those puppies got fangs that can rip you apart like taffy,

and claws that can slice you up like lunch meat.

What fun!

Go.

Another year at Nevermore ends in carnage and chaos.

Unanswered questions hover like vultures.

Why did I slice Tyler's bonds rather than his jugular?

And will that impulsive act of mercy become my undoing?

As for my parents, their smiles don't erase their lies.

Was my mother's gift of Ophelia's diary an act of trust,

or silent desperation?

First I must find Enid.

I gave her my word.

But who exactly will return by my side?

My friend?

Or the beast that's consumed her?

Aunt Ophelia.

Secrets are the bedrock of the Addams family.

Toxic and festering just below the surface.

Ophelia!

As I venture into the unknown,

I am determined to exhume every lie and deception,

or die trying.

Sounds like a perfect vacation to me.
