Previously, on "Reginald the Vampire"...

What is it that you want, Maurice,

out there in the world?

Don't be a stranger, young solider.

I remember we were gonna break them.

Who you breaking now?

Wait and see.

What happened to Angela?

I don't wanna talk about Angela.

You will take part

in the Vampiric Ability and Potential Assessment,

henceforth known as The Assessment.

We can't let just anyone join our ranks.

I'm not the only one who dies if I fail.

My sire dies too.

Look, we're in this together.

I believe in you.

Reginald Andres has a unique gift.

Reginald can Glamour other vampires.

Reggie, I told you not to do this,

and that means not doing it

without fully understanding the consequences.

Yeah. She's the problem, isn't she?

Sarah's the best thing that's ever happened to me.

Well, that's over with.

No matter how much you love a human,

you will hurt them,

ad you'll never forgive yourself.

I gotta thank you.

Again?

When I came to Oakland...

I thought I was gonna change the world.

You're adorable.

Never said I wasn't.

But progress...

it hasn't been easy.

It seems like for every good the Panthers do,

there's two, three...

Five setbacks.

Yes, but you're... strong now.

You're powerful.

But strength, speed,

power...

those weren't the greatest of your gifts.

Oh, yeah?

What was?

Time.

Time?

This new world we're trying to build,

it won't be built overnight.

But you...

you've given me a longer life than I ever thought possible.

I mean, think of everything we can do with all those years.

We will change the world.

And then we'll live long enough

to watch it change again.

Whoa, whoa! Mike!

This is an employees-only area. What are you doing here?

Little jumpy?

You'd be jumpy too if you were booked for an Assessment

that'll almost certainly guarantee a painful death.

And Maurice ghosted me a couple days ago.

So there's not much training going on either.

- Do you know where he went? - Not a clue. You?

Mm-mm.

Usually my vampire GPS lets me know.

Like, you know, when I found him in Angela's basement?

But now, I have nothing.

What if he's dead?

Sire bond diminishes with distance,

but peril has a way of overcoming that,

so if Maurice was in danger, you'd know.

Reggie.

I think you should leave Akron. Go away from here.

You trying to get rid of me?

I'm trying to save you. I mean, you said it yourself:

The Assessment's a death sentence.

So why stay here and submit to that?

Because Maurice made it pretty clear

that they're gonna find me wherever I go.

Doesn't mean it's not worth trying.

Think about it.

I think I'm the reason Maurice left.

I made him a promise and I broke it.

Yeah, Maurice doesn't do well with that kind of thing.

Yeah, I noticed.

Maybe...

I should stay here in Akron and train.

Maybe you could help me train.

Save me, Mike Choi. You're my only hope.

Sorry, Reg. This isn't my fight.

You totally missed a "Star Wars" reference!

Do vampires even watch movies?

Maurice?

What the... have you done?

He shot me.

Who? Who shot you?

The cop.

The one that came at me with the nightstick.

What have you done?

I killed him.

The bullets, they...

they popped right back out of my chest.

I healed... and I fed.

I gave him what he deserved, but...

I just couldn't stop.

Are you sure that he's dead?

Maybe you just...

I... ripped his head off.

Take off those clothes.

I swear, I... I didn't mean to do it.

I... I wasn't gonna do anything.

Look, he has been harassing the neighborhood since day one.

Oh, so what you did was justice?

Yeah! Maybe it... was.

That isn't justice. That's vengeance.

And if you don't know the difference,

we're gonna have a big problem.

What's this?

Think.

You killed a pig in a Black neighborhood.

There's gonna be hell to pay.

Yes, and we'll be long gone when that happens.

We're leaving?

What about the Panthers?

Are not your problem anymore.

Maurice, you can live forever,

but that doesn't mean you can't die.

And sometimes survival means that you need to cut ties

and disappear.

We can't.

The cops are gonna be on a warpath.

Yeah, well, you should have thought of that

before you killed one.

What if they blame someone innocent?

Are you joking?

Of course they're gonna blame someone innocent!

They're gonna blame 50 someones while they're at it!

I never meant for this to happen.

...! - Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.

I know. I know.

But it did.

And I know that you wanna fix it...

but if you get involved in whatever comes next,

you are only gonna make things worse.

No.

I promise I won't lose control again.

But you will.

And that is not your fault. Okay?

You're still getting used to this new life and...

and your body's still adjusting to the changes,

and the cravings are a part of that process.

The best thing you can do for the community

is get as far away from it as possible.

You understand that, right?

You get that, right?

Okay.

Okay, so pack your bag, and with any luck,

we'll be in Paris by the end of the week.

We're going to France?

Yes. We need to lay low,

but that doesn't mean we need to live like animals.

- How long? - Not long.

A decade. Maybe two.

Oh, but you're gonna love it.

Just wait till you try the bread.

Okay.

Okay, Paris.

But first... there's somewhere we need to go.

Angie, we can't just walk around in the sunlight.

What sun? Portland overcast is our umbrella.

We shouldn't be here.

If I'ma disappear,

I need to see my mama one more time.

She's your family, and I get that.

Hey!

But you gave that up the moment you agreed to be turned.

You smell that?

She made étouffée.

And how could you know that? Hmm?

How could you possibly smell that from all the way out here?

- You know how I know. - Exactly.

You are no longer the son that she knew.

Look, you don't have to come with me,

but I owe her a goodbye.

Of course I'm coming with you.

If I left you alone, who knows the trail of bodies

you'd leave behind.

And then that would be another mess

that I'd have to clean up.

Okay...

Hey, Mama.

Mama?

Angela... Angela!

Please, everyone, sit down while the food's still hot.

We're grateful the good Lord saw fit to bring you home.

Junior, please.

Next time, a little warning would be nice.

Junior?

My father was Maurice Senior.

May the Lord protect his soul.

So, young man I don't know...

He lives next door,

and he helps me out when I've made too much of a meal.

Does the boy talk?

Don't be rude.

Looks like you've been replaced, Junior.

So Angela,

do you know that you are the first young woman

that Maurice has seen fit to introduce to his mama?

I did not.

It's true.

And I look forward to finding out everything

there is to know about you.

Would you care to offer us the grace?

I'll pass.

Angela's just joking, Ma.

I was hoping maybe I could say it myself.

That would be lovely.

♪ ♪

Bless us, oh Lord, for these Thy gifts

in which we are about to receive from Thy bounty.

Through Christ our Lord, amen.

Mm, amen.

Oh, Mama, one scoop's enough, please.

Oh, look at you. You're too skinny.

What are they feeding you down there in California?

Pig.

Mostly.

Well, at least someone enjoys my cooking, hmm?

I'm not in an eating contest with the neighbor boy, Ma.

It's a good thing, because you'd lose.

So where are you from, Angela Hibbert?

The British West Indies.

Surely no one called them that when you were a child.

Uh, so, Ma.

How's St. Andrew's?

They ever get that broken step fixed?

No, they keep saying they're going to,

but nothing ever happens.

Maybe now that you're home you can walk over there.

Lend a hand.

And that reminds me, after dinner,

why don't you put the cot in the living room?

That way Angela can sleep in the bedroom.

That won't be necessary.

We won't be staying.

Just one night.

Can I talk to you for a second?

Privately.

Excuse me, Mom.

Here.

Look, I know this isn't what we agreed to but...

Yo, wait. What are you doing?

Relieving some stress.

But my mother is right through that wall.

We did not come here to play... house.

Say what you need to say, and let's go.

That's a nice little greenhouse you got there.

Uh, yeah. It's just a hobby.

Name's Landry.

Maurice.

Yeah, that "For Sale" sign's been out there

for some time now.

You must be the new owner.

I don't wanna be too nosy,

but I hope you didn't pay market price for that.

Rumor is that some pretty crazy shit

happened there back in the day.

Mm.

Yeah, maybe, uh,

maybe you could help me out with something.

I'm happy to oblige, neighbor.

Last time I was in town,

there was a root shop in Albina.

You ever heard of it?

I was wondering if it's still open.

I saw the greenhouse

and figured you might be familiar.

Root shop, huh?

You mean like hoodoo and what have ya?

I'm looking for a particular herb.

You need it fresh to make tea.

Ah.

So you're a fancy tea drinker, huh?

Yeah, something like that.

Well, I got no idea, to be honest.

I only bought this place a few years back.

I'm not what you'd call a... a local.

Worth a shot.

Thanks for your time.

All right.

How long that neighbor boy been eating dinner over here?

Three months.

His mother passed.

Poor child hasn't spoken a word since.

I'm sure it doesn't help

that his father is too committed to his drink

to remember three square meals.

So you gonna tell me, or are you gonna make me ask?

Is she pregnant?

Angela? No, no.

So I'm not planning a wedding?

- Jesus Christ. - Hey!

I raised you better than to take His name in vain.

Sorry.

And as for the other thing,

you show up here with a girl I've heard bo-peep about.

What am I supposed to think? - No one is getting pregnant

and no one is getting married.

Good.

Here we go. - Well, can you blame me?

The girl did not want to say grace.

I'm not here to talk about Angela.

Why are you here?

Did you bring it?

Unregistered and loaded

with the Butcher's phone number.

Her name is Nikki.

Are you sure bringing on Nikki is a good idea?

She's unpredictable and extreme.

She's crazy.

Yes, you can aim her at the Blob,

but can you be sure he will be her only victim?

- Okay. You're being dramatic. - Am I?

You were in Buenos Aires when she earned her moniker.

She ripped out that man's spine and fed it to his wife.

If you think you can control her,

by all means, call her.

Wow, Mama.

Oh, oh.

Oh, this looks amazing.

Oh, man.

Ah!

Maurice, is everything okay?

I... Yeah.

Yeah, I'm just, uh...

I'm not feeling too good.

Think I'ma go lay down for a bit.

- What? - Yeah.

Don't worry, Irma. I'll take good care of him.

You're being careless.

It was an accident.

And how long before she notices we avoid the sun?

I know it's hard to accept, but you don't belong here.

She's still my mama.

If she finds out what you are,

she will try to kill you.

We need to go.

Tonight.

And we will.

Soon.

But not tonight. - Maurice.

Look, I just need a little more time.

Hey, you find what you were looking for?

Not yet.

Well, maybe I can help.

What sort of, uh, spooky kabuki were you trying to find?

It's called Herb of the Cross.

You ever heard of it?

Can't say I have,

but why don't you come on up here and share a drink

with an old man and you can tell me all about it?

That's very kind, but no thank you.

Are you sure?

I mean, it's... It's not your fancy tea,

but it's... it's good.

Maybe next time.

Long time no see, Eve.

Ange, I love your home.

Oh, I'm sure the Council provided you

with adequate living arrangements

in your own district.

Uh, too many windows for my taste,

but the locals are delicious.

Climate like that requires an extra layer of fat.

Eve, what are you doing here?

Being regional manager of the Yukon was a promotion,

but do you have any idea how long the days are

in the summer?

Too long.

So you're on vacation?

In Akron.

Call it "stopping by on my way to the big city."

Eve, there's something you're not telling me.

Might be.

Well, you know how I am about rumors,

especially the scandalous kind.

Oh, I remember.

Well, rumor has it

Maurice Miller is back in your life,

and that is something I had to see up close and personal.

Maurice is a recent arrival but has yet to file

for official district citizenship.

Ange, please.

This is Eve you're talking to.

If anyone understands how thankless the work is,

it's me.

Give a little.

That son of a bitch

tried to bring Angel's Blood into my city.

Angel's Blood.

Whatever for?

It's Maurice.

Who knows what the hell he was thinking?

What happened to the supplier?

He paid the appropriate price.

But believe it or not, I have an even bigger problem

on my plate.

Oh, don't be such a tease.

Give.

Reginald Andres.

They call him "the Fat Vampire."

Bail on me in my time of need, Maurice?

Not cool.

Do I need you? Yes.

Am I gonna pretend that I don't?

Also yes, because it's time to train,

and I am fully capable of training myself.

Although, if you were here,

I probably wouldn't have to talk to myself,

but... nothing. But nothing!

Forget that noise.

You got this.

You are this.

One. Yeah.

Two.

Come on.

Ooh.

Ow.

Hey, Mike Choi.

I saw "Star Wars" the night it premiered,

and I prefer my Joseph Campbell in book form.

Counterpoint. Common misperception.

Lucas and Campbell were actually friends.

In fact, did you know Lucas...

Oh, okay, fine!

I'll train you. Okay?

Wait, wait, wait, wait.

What happened to this not being your fight?

You and I have something in common.

What, nice cheekbones?

A second chance.

We both want one.

And I figure helping you

is a step in the right direction.

But why do you need a second chance?

We get through this thing in one piece,

and I'll tell you the whole sad story.

Copy that.

You call that chopping?

Matter of fact.

Well, watch me.

Maybe you'll learn a thing or two.

First thing with a pepper, you gotta cut half an inch

off the top and the bottom.

And then you save these for later.

Mama, can I talk to you for a second?

There's something I need to tell you.

I'm working here, Junior.

Then you slice the flesh, and you take out the core.

No, Mama, please. Just a second.

Well, what is it?

I'm leaving.

- Already? You haven't even... - No.

- Had dinner. - No, Mama. I'm leaving.

Angela and I, we're going on a trip.

A long trip and...

I'm not sure when I'm gonna be back.

And where are you headed to?

France maybe. I'm not sure.

We might be moving around a bit.

I take it things in Oakland didn't work out?

There was a guy I knew over there.

I thought he was the hippest brother in town.

He'd see cops bothering kids

for just playing in the spray of a hydrant and...

And he'd step in.

He'd get knocked down, but he always got back up.

Thought he was invincible.

That dumb fool thought he would change the world.

"Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted."

Gospel of Matthew.

Seems I raised you right after all.

There is no shame in catching your breath.

Whether it is for one night or one year,

you can stay here as long as you'd like.

Now get back to chopping.

Exactly like I demonstrated.

Come on.

Good.

Angela.

Hey, look, we need to talk.

To say you wanna stay in Portland with your mother.

Don't you?

You knew.

She needs you.

And you need her.

Would I rather you prioritized your own safety

and came with me?

Yes.

But I'm not gonna force you to leave.

Wow, um...

I really thought this conversation

was gonna be a lot harder.

Thank you for understanding.

Of course.

And I brought you a little parting gift.

Who... who is this?

I think I'm your dinner.

Oh, don't worry, she won't remember anything tomorrow.

Are you crazy?

My mother is right down those stairs.

She could walk up here any minute.

I'll make sure she doesn't.

Come on. You haven't fed in days.

I can't leave you on an empty stomach,

especially considering what happened in Oakland.

And I am hungry.

Watch the door.

You bet I will.

Mmm...

Good boy.

That's a good boy.

Drink.

She tastes good, doesn't she?

Mmm.

Drink.

Shh, shh, shh, shh, shh.

Get out of my house.

Monster! - Hmm.

So you know what I am?

I know you don't belong here.

The love of a mother

is a incredible thing, isn't it?

Unconditional. Dangerous.

Blind.

Take Oakland, for example.

Do you have any idea why we really left?

A friend of Maurice's died.

I don't think that cop he killed was a friend of his.

No. You're lying!

Ripped his head clean off with his teeth.

No. Maurice is not a killer!

See what I mean?

Blind.

No matter what he may have done,

he is never so far gone

he can't come home to me.

He's my son.

Was your son.

And now he belongs to me. - No!

No!

Aah!

What was Maurice thinking?

A plus-size vampire?

How precious.

A problem that will soon be solved.

To you, Angela.

For breaking the rules without a second thought.

I didn't turn him.

But you are regional director.

Whether you had a hand in it or not,

an abomination was born on your watch.

If you weren't under a microscope before,

you are now.

Thanks for sharing.

Mm.

I take it his Assessment must already be in the works?

Of course it is.

I can't wait to hear what the Council thinks

of you wasting Logan the Hellbender's time

with this.

How utterly delightful.

I thought you were on vacation.

I am. In New York.

For my performance review.

I'm hoping for a promotion, but you know how it works.

For one to rise, another must fall.

Mama.

Mama. Mama!

No. Angela!

Angela, what the... did you do?

Mama.

- Junior. - Oh!

Stop squeezing me.

Maurice, what happened to you?

You're... you're alive.

What kind of a question is that?

Of course I'm alive.

I'm... I'm just...

I'm hungry.

Why are you looking at me like that?

Ow.

My teeth.

What... why are they?

Angela.

What did she do to me?

Why do... why do I feel so alive?

You were never gonna leave her.

And now you don't have to.

I've given you your mother in the only way possible.

What did you do to me?

I freed you.

Don't you dare talk to her.

She was gonna die anyways.

Sooner than later.

You're still so young.

You don't understand how brief humans are.

I found a way to keep you two together.

You actually believe that?

Why aren't you happy?

Wait, Mama! Mama, wait!

You can't leave.

No, I can't... I can't stay.

Not with her.

Father John will know what to do.

No, no, you aren't going anywhere.

Okay? Not while the sun's out.

If you do, you'll burn.

- I'm gonna burn anyway. - No, no!

I mean you'll burn.

Look. Look at me.

Things are different for you now.

Okay? You have to adjust to a whole new way of life.

But I'll be here for you. Okay?

I'll be here to help you every step of the way.

Did you kill that police officer?

Tell me she made you do it.

Tell me this change didn't turn you into a killer.

Mom, Mama.

Mama, it's more complicated than that.

Oh, no. I can't.

I can't be what you've become.

I can't, Maurice.

I won't. I won't. - No, Mama.

- No. - Please don't do this.

Listen, it's gonna be okay.

It's gonna be okay.

The... the Lord just needs me to take a few more steps.

"Come to me,

"all you who are weary and burdened,

and I will give you rest."

Mama, I c... I can't.

It's okay.

Your father and I will be waiting for you...

When you're ready.

No. No, Ma-Mama, please.

Mama, please don't do this!

Mom.

Please don't do this.

Mom!

- Aah! - Mama!

Time to go.

I'm gonna kill you.

Don't be cute.

I let you sit there like a sad little rag doll

all day long.

But the sun is down,

and we have a lot of ground to cover,

so get up.

I don't know how

and I don't know when...

but the one thing I do know

is that I have time.

I made you.

But you made me too.

Pardon the intrusion, neighbor.

But I got a particularly beefy wardrobe

that needs moving, and my old back isn't sure

it can take it today.

Any chance I could offer you a liquid bribe

for some help?

No bribe necessary.

All right.

Okay.

Oh, come on in.

I'll have the lights up in two shakes of a maraca.

Do you remember me now?

You're the neighbor boy.

And you are a vampire.

Everyone thought I was crazy.

That I didn't see her burst into flame.

But I know what I saw.

And I know what you are.

And I knew you'd be back.

Holy water.

Ordered it from the Vatican.

Blessed by the pope.

Sticks carved from trees in Jerusalem.

Daggers edged in wood.

And this.

You know, at first I considered building a cage of silver.

Then I discovered the Devil's Trap.

And what better way to catch a creature of the night

than to use its own dark energy against it?

You'll never leave this room without my permission.

Uh, not that you'll live long enough for it to matter.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry that hate consumed you.

That you never got to live your life.

That all you had was revenge.

I lost my mother that day.

Trust me.

I know how that feels.

You're sorry?

You're... sorry?

I was left alone...

with him.

Your father.

Oh, that man was no father.

Not like you had.

Your parents loved each other.

Your mother loved you like a parent's supposed to.

She was the closest thing I had to family.

And you took her from me.

But...

the Devil's Trap.

That's just some shit they made up in movies.

Listen to me.

You're gonna forget about vampires,

about me, my mother,

and you're gonna move on with your life.

Oh.

Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Yeah, that's right.

Your mind control won't work on me.

- You have Herb of the Cross. - And don't even dare

try and suck my blood.

I've been drinking the Herb every day for decades.

Not only am I immune,

I'm toxic.

Where did you get it?

You've been growing it, haven't you?

It's been here the whole time.

And why do you wanna know about that herb?

Huh?

It's protection against monsters like you.

I wish you hadn't drank that herb.

If I could've glamoured you, this would've been easy.

But nothing's ever easy.

Nikki?

Hey, it's Angela.

I have a problem

that requires your special... touch.

His name is Reginald Andres.
