Previously, on The Gates
It's devil's-weed.
And I've seen it do miracles.
It was Devon.
She was blackmailing me.
My blood for her silence.
Now, this toxin could
kill any vampire.
I just had no idea that
Devon would go this far
to get back at me.
What about Devon?
She's gone.
Then this isn't over
there are too many people's
lives at stake here.
There's someone who will make sure
that she never gets back alive.
What do we do now?
We're leaving the Gates.
Are you sure?
And what about long term?
Right.
All right, good.
No, that's That's great.
Thanks, Peg.
That's Peg.
She checked your blood.
Whatever Devon gave you
is out of your system,
so you're gonna be fine.
Yeah, well, Frank and Vanessa
are dead because of me,
so I'm not gonna be fine
for a pretty long time.
Listen to me.
It is not your fault.
Yeah, well, either way,
I'll feel a lot better
once we're out of here.
All right, well, you and the kids
will go to your
sister's in the morning,
and I'll figure out how to
get out of hereSafely.
Okay.
Be careful.
There's nothing back there.
Maybe Devon didn't return.
Somebody was here.
By the looks
of things, they were in a hurry.
Who? Perhaps we can
talk to the council.
We'll make them understand
that you were blackmailed.
My blood helped create the very
poison that could end us all.
There will be no understanding.
My only hope is to find her
before she's found
by another vampire
Because if it's the last
thing that she does,
she will tell them it was me.
Dylan.
She was looking for
somewhere to hide.
I'm sorry.
I didn't
mean to scare you.
Are you sure no one saw you?
I'm positive.
And I got
everything on the list.
Devon, what's going on?
Why are you here?
I don't want you to
worry about all that.
Just know that with
what you've brought me,
everything's gonna be fine.
I-I don't understand.
What are you making?
A safeguard.
With this spell,
I'll be able to look ahead
and see exactly what I need
to do to protect myself.
Protect yourself?
Did you have something to
do with Vanessa Buckley?
I heard about what
happened to her.
I knew it must've been
some kind of spell.
I provided Frank with a
means to protect himself.
If she hadn't tried to
turn him into a vampire,
Vanessa would be fine.
Trust me, Frank will
thank me one day.
Devon Frank Buckley is dead.
He killed himself earlier tonight.
I need you to leave now.
No.
Let me help you.
It will help me to
know that you're safe,
and That means being as
far from me as you can get.
Impero maligne spiritus.
Impero maligne spiritus.
Impero maligne spiritus.
Impero maligne spiritus.
Impero maligne spiritus.
Hey.
What's with the suitcases?
I need you two to go upstairs
and pack your clothes.
I resigned as chief.
We're leaving the Gates.
What?
Why would you quit your job?
No way.
I'm not going
through this again.
I like it here.
We like it here.
I know.
Charlie, I
Dad, what did you do?
Hey! Charlie, your father
didn't do anything.
We came to this decision together.
It's not safe here.
Now, I'll explain more later,
but I need you both to go
upstairs and pack your suitcases.
You're going to your aunt's house.
You can't make this decision
and not tell us why.
Okay, you know what? You're right.
Okay? It's not fair.
But you're just gonna have to
trust us on this one, okay?
Please, just go upstairs
and start packing.
Please, Charlie.
Mom.
You heard your mother.
Move.
What's with the 911?
You got to help me.
Last night, when I left you guys,
I did something really,
really stupid.
What? What did you do?
I snuck into Andie's room
and added water to her medicine,
diluted it, so it
wouldn't work anymore.
Brett, why would you do that?
I was just so mad that she
went back with Charlie.
I thought that if he
knew what she really was,
he wouldn't want to
be with her anymore.
Well, what do you expect me to do?
Maybe you could help me
sneak into her locker
and switch back her meds?
No.
You're going to
tell her what you did.
How can I ever admit to her
that I did something this bad?
I I don't know.
But If Andie's not
getting her medicine,
she could hurt Charlie,
so come on.
Have a seat.
Listen.
I think there could be some
fallout from Buckley's death.
I'm gonna need you to step up,
make sure things here
are kept under control.
Okay.
What about you?
I'm gonna do what I can.
But I need to go, Leigh,
as soon as possible.
I came here to keep
my family safe,
and I don't think I
can do that anymore.
Chief, I get it.
I think they'll be okay
with you running point.
They know you.
They trust you.
I trust you.
Thank you.
Don't worry.
We'll get you and
your family out of here safely.
We just missed her.
I'm more interested
in how you got here
in the first place.
Ben.
Yeah.
One of the guards told me
that they saw you leaving,
um, in a hurry.
We got a call from a
friend here in Franklin.
They said they thought
they might have seen Devon.
And why didn't you
tell us about that?
Well, we didn't want to
waste anyone's time
if it wasn't reliable.
Claire.
I know that you've had your
issues with Devon in the past.
But now is not the time
for a personal vendetta.
You understand?
There's too much at stake.
I understand.
I apologize for the
miscommunication.
Hi.
Is Is Charlie home?
Uh, yeah.
Y-you know what?
Now's not a really good time.
We'll be really quick.
Please, Mrs.
Monohan.
It's It's important.
Yeah, okay.
Come on in.
Charlie, some friends
of yours are here.
He left.
What do you mean, he left?
Did Charlie tell you
they were leaving?
Shh.
I'm trying to listen.
I heard him talking
on the phone to Andie.
And then he took off
with his backpack
And his sleeping bag.
What?
Mom, what did you expect?
You two, I
What are you doing here?
Charlie is in danger.
Why?
What did you do to him?
Nothing.
But he will die without my help.
Sarah, please.
No, how dare you come here,
after everything that you've done?
I had to.
I was wrong to use you like I did.
I just want to make things right.
By telling me my son is gonna die?
Sarah, I've risked everything
to come back here for you.
I don't want you to know
the pain of losing
someone you love.
You have to believe
I'm here to help.
I'm never gonna believe another
word out of your mouth.
Get out.
Get out!
Hello?
Nick, Charlie's gone.
I think he's with Andie.
All right, calm down, honey.
Uh, you know he was upset.
I'm sure he's just acting out.
I'll finish here, I'll track
him down and bring him home.
No, no, no, I need you to go now.
Sarah.
No, listen, Devon was here.
Devon? Devon was in the house?
Are you okay?
Yeah, I'm okay, but she
was talking about Charlie,
and she said that Charlie's
gonna die without her help,
and now I'm freaking out.
Okay, okay, just stay
I don't know where he is,
and I just
Stay calm, all right?
I'm I'm I'm
I'm sure he's fine.
You can't listen to
anything Devon says.
Yeah, I know, I know,
but he's not here,
and I'm freaking out,
and so I just need you
to go find him and
bring him home, okay?
Please, just go.
Okay, I will.
Bye.
So, you got all your stuff?
I think so.
It was tough leaving
without my dad seeing me.
Are you sure about this?
Look, I know this is crazy,
but I didn't know what else to do.
I'm not letting my parents
take me away from you.
Do you think they
found out about me?
No way.
Whatever's going on,
it's got nothing to do with us.
That must be Brett.
He's left me like 10
messages this morning.
Believe me,
my mom's left even more.
We'll figure this out later, okay?
Leigh.
I need your help with something.
Devon Buckley is back in the Gates.
We need to find her.
Why would she come back here?
I don't know what she's up to,
but she told Sarah that
Charlie is in danger.
***
This is the number.
Then call me with the coordinates.
Okay? I need to find my son.
Chief.
Hey.
You okay?
I'm fine, Marcus.
Okay, what was that about?
Mm, nothing.
I'm on it.
Whatever she's making,
it doesn't call for vampire blood.
There must be something else.
I need to show this to Peg.
Well, it won't be easy
with McAllister
watching our every move.
Devon swiped her card to get in,
but there's no record
of her leaving.
She's here somewhere.
Well, I'm sure she knows of
plenty of places to hide.
I think the search will go
faster if we all split up.
Yeah.
It'll be best for all of
us if we get this done.
Let's go.
Andie still hasn't shown
up to any of her classes.
Kelly's home sick today.
She saw Andie and Charlie
heading into the woods
about an hour ago.
Good.
We can track them.
No one knows the woods like we do.
S-so Andie's not in school?
I think she's with Charlie.
You do know they've
been seeing each other?
No.
No, she didn't say anything to me.
Okay, well, I'm sure
they haven't gone far.
Well, I know my daughter.
And she wouldn't just leave.
All right, well,
would you mind checking,
see if she's taken
anything with her?
Yeah.
Any idea how many clothes
a teenage girl has?
There's no way I can tell.
Is there anything in this room
that she wouldn't leave without?
Oh.
There's a picture of her mother.
And she usually
kept it right here.
Oh, no.
What?
Andie stopped taking her medicine.
Is she sick?
Thomas, what happens
to your daughter
if she doesn't take her medicine?
She could kill your son.
I mean, she knows
the danger she's in.
We found this list of ingredients.
Does it mean anything to you?
Peg?
I don't know the spell,
but I know the handwriting.
It's my daughter's.
Chief, I got a lock on
Charlie's cellphone.
State reserve,
about five miles east.
Follow the logging
road past the lake.
All right, I'm on my way.
Send me his coordinates.
Absolutely, and, uh, chief,
about that other matter
I checked the security tapes.
Devon did show up,
trying to exit the main Gates,
and you are not the only
one looking for her.
There are vampires everywhere.
That's what I was afraid of.
Yeah, the exits are
crawling with them.
All right,
find her before they do,
and get her somewhere safe, okay?
Don't worry, I'll bring
her back to my place.
Hey.
Bring who back to your place?
Something going on?
No.
Can you hold down the fort?
I just need to run
an errand.
Thanks.
Gates P.
D.
Officer Jordan speaking.
Yeah, I'm not sure
if you remember me.
I'm the guy that's
looking for Isabelle.
Yes, I remember you, but no,
my answer is going
to be the exact same
as it was the last
time you called, sir.
There is no Isabelle Aarmont
that works here.
- If you just
- Okay? There never has been.
If you just let me
describe her to you
No, I don't need a description.
I need you to stop
calling me, okay?
I'm sorry I can't help you,
but I have to go.
Hey.
Take a break?
Sure.
Let's go up there.
Yes.
Yes, I brought these things to her
at her motel last night.
I told you to stay away from her.
She needed my help.
Did she tell you
what she was doing?
She was trying to protect herself.
Mia.
Mia, Vanessa is dead
because of Devon.
Do you understand?
Now, we need to find her before
she can hurt anyone else,
and you need to tell us if you
have any idea where she is.
Mia.
If she's here in the Gates,
then she's probably at her spa.
There's a hidden room in back.
I think I know where the door is.
How much of that did you bring?
Just the bottle.
It's all I had.
And you're not gonna
be able to get more.
This is really the
lamest idea ever.
What was I thinking?
You were thinking you
can't live without me
Which is exactly the
way I feel about you.
Look, we both knew this
couldn't last forever.
Maybe we just need
to make the most
of the time we have left.
You're sure you caught her scent?
Ah.
I'd know it anywhere.
We should be within a
couple of hundred yards.
Charlie!
Andie!
You know, eventually you're
gonna have to let her go.
It's easy for you to say.
You don't know what it's like
to love someone who
doesn't love you back.
Really?
You ever ask yourself
why I'm out here with you,
wandering around
Why I always just come running
whenever you decide you need me?
Lexie, I didn't know.
Andie.
My God.
I killed him.
I killed Charlie.
Charlie.
Charlie's hurt.
He's hurt.
I'm so sorry.
We got to
get him to a hospital.
No, no, no.
We have
to take him to Peg.
She's the only one who can help.
How is that gonna help?
So, Andie's depleted
Charlie's life force so much
that he's not strong enough
to replenish on his own.
So I'm trying to trick the body
into thinking that it's
more alive than it is,
and hopefully produce more.
What?
What's wrong, Peg?
The effect It should
have been immediate.
I'm so sorry.
It's not working.
Call 911.
We got to
get him to a hospital.
No, no, no.
No, wait.
That That won't help.
See, they They
have no understanding
of what's happening here.
And the first thing
that they're gonna do
is they're gonna shoot
him full of adrenaline,
and that could kill him.
H-how do you know that?
Because that's
what they did to me once,
after my wife
Wait, y-you knew about this?
You knew something
like this could happen,
and you still let your daughter
near my son? How could you?
I had no idea they were together.
- Get out of my house.
- I'm so sorry!
- Go! Get out of my house!
- It's all my fault!
I'm so sorry!
Peg?
Is he right about the hospital?
Yes.
So what can we do?
'Cause I'm not gonna sit
here and watch my son die.
Please, Peg.
There is another way.
Devon can help him.
But it would be
through the dark arts,
and with dark magic,
there is always a price.
I don't care.
I don't know where Devon is.
We've been looking
everywhere for Devon.
I know where she is.
I don't think you'll
want to come closer.
Fortunately, I don't
have to get that close
to put an end to you.
Chief Monohan.
Put the gun down, Claire.
This doesn't concern you.
Yes, it does.
I need her alive.
Well, unfortunately,
we need her dead.
My son is dying.
She's the only one
who can save him.
One on the right.
One on this side and
another one behind us.
Any way you can talk
them out of this?
No, I don't think we can.
It's police business, Ben.
I need you to step aside.
I can't do that, chief.
Ben, it doesn't
have to be this way.
I'm afraid it does.
And unfortunately for you,
it's not just the
witch we're after now.
You've breached our trust.
They're helping me with my boy.
And it's urgent.
It is for us, as well.
I still need to take her, Claire!
Do not take your eyes off her.
We'll stay here and
clean up this mess.
But, Nick, make no mistake
We will come for her.
I know.
Please.
Can you help my son?
I'll do everything I can.
Are you sure you want to watch?
This is dark magic.
Well, if it has anything to do
with what you've been
teaching my daughter,
I should know.
You have nothing to worry about.
I taught Mia exactly
as you taught me.
What I'll be working
with is a revival spell.
Injected just after death,
it will bring Charlie back.
I promise you.
Charlie's not dead.
No.
But he'll need to
be for this to work.
You want to kill my son?
In order to save him
Yes.
Peg, what's going on here?
This is the only way.
There's got to be
another way.
Wait.
I want to call a doctor.
I am a doctor.
Wait!
Why should we trust you,
after everything that
you've put us through?
I am guilty of some
horrible things,
and I can't change that.
But I can save Charlie.
All right, we let her try.
It be best if you didn't watch.
I'm not going anywhere.
Charlie?
Charlie.
W-what happened?
Was it Andie?
Yeah.
She wasn't taking the
medicine she needed,
so she lost control.
Dad, I need to see her.
No, no.
You need to
stay down right now.
So, I should stay
and monitor Charlie,
at least for the next 12 hours.
Okay.
Easy.
Thank you Devon.
Marcus?
I need you to close
that right now.
Or what, Leigh?
You know, I came here
looking for answers.
Turns out I wasn't even
asking the right questions.
How is this possible?
Okay.
There was a guy.
Xavier Martinez.
We were 15 when we met
And 22 when I told him I
didn't love him anymore.
He couldn't let me go,
so
He used vodun
It's an ancient magic
To take away my heart.
Come on, Leigh.
He wanted to make sure I
would never love anyone else.
Ancient magic?
Marcus, I'm telling you the truth.
What you see in that
box is all I have left.
You don't have to believe me.
It's okay.
It's okay.
Does it hurt?
Can we fix you?
That's, um
That's why I moved here.
Peg knew how to help me.
And
Marcus, this place is
A refuge, of sorts,
for a lot of people
who are different.
So you're not the only one?
No.
Oh.
Okay.
Um
Leigh?
It's probably not even
your real name, is it?
No.
It's, um
It's Isabelle.
Isabelle.
Isabelle Aarmont?
Yeah.
How would you
There's a guy who's called
the station a few times
looking for Isabelle Armont.
I think he knows you're here.
Yes, but, all I ask is
that you hear us out.
Yes, we
Yes, of course we'll do that.
All ri
They will hear a plea of leniency,
but only if we deliver Devon.
Do you honestly believe that?
We need to make
arrangements for Emily.
Aunt Nancy?
Hey.
It's me.
I heard you're okay.
I can't tell you how
relieved that makes me feel.
Please know that I never
meant to hurt you.
And it's because I love you
that I can't risk
hurting you again.
But as long as you are you,
and I am me,
we can't be together.
I am drawn to you like gravity,
which is why I need to
get as far away as I can.
I will never forget you,
Charlie Monohan.
And I will love you forever.
Did you get any sleep?
No.
Listen, I just want to
tell you how grateful I am
for what you did
For my son.
And for me.
So what happens to you now?
I don't know.
I got it.
I'm sorry.
You've had
more than enough time.
She saved my son's life, Claire.
There's got to be
a way to fix this.
I gave you what you needed.
Dylan.
This can't go down like this.
I'm sorry, Nick.
There's no other choice.
Mom?
Dad, there's something
wrong with Charlie!
Charlie?
Charlie?
Nick? Nick!
What'd you do to my son?
I told you I could bring him back.
I never said he'd be the same.
