- I'm Cameron Britton.
- And I'm Aidan Gallagher.
- My name is Robert.
- And I'm Emmy.
- And we're the cast of "The Umbrella Academy".
- We're going to walk you through everything
that happened in Season One.
- Everything.
(laughter)
(dramatic music)
Episode one.
We open in Russia, on the 7th hour,
of the first day, of October 1989.
There's a girl flirting with a guy by the pool.
- [Emmy] Yeah.
- Suddenly, boom!
The girl is screaming in pain, everyone's horrified.
- We have no idea what's going on,
until we suddenly see that she's giving birth.
- Ew.
- Which is shocking, because she was
definitely not pregnant five minutes ago.
- Turns out this wasn't an isolated incident.
43 women all around the world, boof, prego.
- [Narrator] This was unusual.
- Enter, Reggie Hargreeves,
an eccentric old billionaire,
who decides it's time to become a dad.
- How much do you want for it, skulker?
- He adopts seven of these miracle babies,
and moves them to a mansion
and dubs the whole place, the Umbrella Academy.
- Flash forward 17 years,
the kids he adopted, now all grown up,
make their way back home to mourn their dad.
- And we find out he was less of father,
and more of a distant, mean professor.
- To start off, there is Luther, Number One.
he's super strong, and pretty much the leader.
Number Two is Diego, he is a hot head,
but can throw knives with precision.
There's Number Three, Allison, moi,
who can manipulate people with her own voice.
- What a lovely voice it is!
Then there's Klaus, Number Four.
Klaus is high as hell on all the drugs,
and can talk to the dead.
Number Five has been missing for years.
- Number Six is dead, spoiler,
memorialized in statue form outside the mansion.
Hargreeves wasn't a great dad you guys, okay?
- Then there's Number Seven, Vanya,
she is the only normal one.
Because of that, Hargreeves treated her like an outcast.
- All the kids return to their former home,
stewarded by a talking chimpanzee,
Pogo, and their robot mother.
- And at the funeral tensions are high.
- The worlds are better off without him.
- Diego!
- Vanya wrote this book about
her nightmarish upbringing at the academy,
that's pushed her even further away
from the rest of her siblings.
But I mean, how can you blame her?
- No, no. - Normal people,
they be tripping.
Allison's fresh off a divorce,
Diego's living outside the law,
Klaus just got out of rehab.
- And is as high as a kite.
- I'm not the right frame of mind!
- You're high?
- Yeah.
- It only gets worse.
Hargreeves' iconic monocle was not found after his death.
Luther suspects foul play.
- Diego thinks it's ridiculous,
and then the old rivalry between the two of them
begins again, in a brawl at their father's funeral,
which ends with smashing the statue of the dead brother.
(statue smashing)
- But when it feels like the funeral
can't get any more disastrous,
this portal opens up, and out pops a child,
long lost Number Five, dun dun dun.
Apparently, even their missing brother
reappearing from a time portal,
isn't enough to keep this family together.
- Five goes and get some coffee,
but he ends up getting attacked
by a bunch of mysterious soldiers.
- Hey assholes!
(gunshots)
- We don't know where their from.
♪ Istanbul ♪
♪ Not Constantinople, now Istanbul ♪
- Yeah, that was a fight scene!
He sort of kills them all without mercy.
- Diego goes to brood by the river,
and then we find out that he took the monocle.
Just because he's kind of a mean guy, I guess.
- I kinda wanna monocle.
- That would be cool.
- While he's doing that, Klaus sits in the back of a car,
and has a friendly conversation
with the ghost of Number Six.
It looks like the whole gang is back together.
Yay? - Yay!
- Hooray!
- Number Five visits Vanya, and tells her why he's back.
The world is gonna end in eight days,
and only they can stop it, no pressure!
- [Robert] Episode two.
- [Emmy] Episode dos.
- Number Five explains how he
survived an apocalyptic future,
after accidentally jumping forward in time.
- Five doesn't really talk about his mannequin wife.
Dolores?
- Five shows Vanya this prosthetic eye that he found
in the wreckage of the end of the world .
This is the only clue that he has
in order to prevent the apocalypse.
- With a little help from a desperate for cash Klaus,
Five gets the record for the eye, only to find out
that it technically hasn't been created yet.
- That's a problem.
- Meanwhile, police investigate the grisly scene
that Five left at the donut shop where he was attacked.
- Leading the investigation is Detective Patch,
who seems to have a bit of a thing going on
with our old pal Diego.
She's not the only one on the case.
- Two formally dressed assassins,
Hazel and Cha-Cha arrive from the future.
- Yes, they do.
- They know Five, because he was
kinda better at their job than they were,
and now they gotta catch him.
- No talking.
- Also, Vanya's new student is kind of awkward,
but he's a sweet guy in his 30s, named Leonard.
He also had a pretty mean dad.
- What's that shit on your face?
- And the two of them hit it off pretty quick.
It seems like this could be good for her.
Seems is the operative word there.
- Episode three. - Episode three.
- It's Vanya time y'all.
- Hey!
- We see her being underappreciated
as the third chair in the orchestra that she plays with.
- In a flashback, we're shown the rise and fall
of her career as an author.
She releases her salacious Umbrella Academy memoir.
- Oh yes, very juicy!
- At first she's showered with praise,
but as the fans move on, she's just kind of
left with the family she betrayed.
- Back in the mansion, Allison and Luther
find footage proving that their robot mom, Grace,
was the last person to see their father alive.
By the way, Allison and Luther have a thing.
Yikes?
- They're actually not blood relatives,
but we were raised brother and sisters, so.
- Go on Twitter, everyone's arguing about it.
- Anyway, so Luther and Allison,
they speculate that 13 years
spent running the house alone,
might have degraded Mom's AI, causing her to lose her mind,
to potentially cause Hargreeves' death.
- What are you talking about, silly?
- They debate turning her off for good.
- This infuriates Diego.
Hazel and Cha-Cha, having received a crucial tip
from a woman at the donut shop, ambush the academy.
- I have to see this show, this is cool.
- I know, right?
- And there's this massive shootout!
- Holy cow.
- And Luther's revealed to have the torso of a gorilla.
But like a handsome, kind of sexy gorilla,
do you know what I mean? - Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- They managed to fight off the pair of assassins,
who take Klaus prisoner.
(muffled screaming)
After seeing that Mother went the whole firefight
without noticing anything was wrong.
Diego decides to deactivate her himself.
- Grab a Kleenex, because it's a big moment
- I love that scene.
- Four! - Episode four.
In a flashback, we see Luther go on
a solo mission for his father,
long after his siblings abandoned the academy.
This mission goes terribly,
and Luther's rushed back on the brink of death,
where his father saves him,
by giving him the body of a beast.
- (screaming)
- So that's how that happened.
- Back to the present, Vanya and Leonard's
relationship is moving fast.
Now this guy's already got the key to her place,
and of course, Allison.
- Me, is suspicious as hell.
- We're a team.
- It's starting to seem like Leonard's goals
might be a little more nefarious than they seem.
- Meanwhile, Klaus is being tortured
by Hazel and Cha-Cha, unsuccessfully.
- Asshole.
- And they're interrupted by detective Patch,
who followed their trail of destruction.
- She tries to arrest them, but is killed!
(gun shot)
- The confusion allows Klaus to escape into the streets
with their time traveling device,
this sort of briefcase thing.
- Which he accidentally activates,
sending him into the past.
Diego finds Patch's body in the hotel room, and mourns.
Needless to say, he is having a rough week.
- Moving along, Episode Five.
Klaus returns from the past, and he's haunted
by lost love and his time Vietnam,
and resolves to get sober.
Diego is still mourning Patch.
With the help of Five, they set up a trap
for Hazel and Cha-Cha under the guise
of an exchange for their time travel device.
- The hell is he doing here?
- Whee!
- Once again, this turns into a fight,
but time stops briefly, as Five encounters a handler,
the leader of this time adjustment corporation.
- She offers him a promotion,
in exchange for his sibling's life,
and, well he takes it.
- Episode 6, Five tries to use his new position
to further his goal of preventing the apocalypse.
He finds himself halted by bureaucracy at every turn.
- Glad to hear it.
- Eventually he turns on the company,
blowing up their equipment, after stealing
one last time travel device for himself.
(explosion)
- While this happens, everyone has a nearly perfect day.
- Five gets sober with Diego's help.
- Yay.
- Luther and Allison go on a date,
but unfortunately that's all erased
when Five comes back through time with news.
- You know who's responsible for the apocalypse?
- [Allison] Harold Jenkins?
- [Robert] Episode seven.
- Vanny's boyfriend, Leonard,
is a key player in the apocalypse.
- His real name, is Harold Jenkins.
- What?
- Harold Jenkins!
- [Robert] He grew up idolizing the Umbrella Academy,
before being humiliated by Hargreeve.
- Get off my property.
- And after murdering his own abusive father
and spending 12 years in prison,
Leonard is released with one goal in mind, revenge.
- Meanwhile, Vanya finds out that
she is not as normal as she thought.
Her anger unleashes this deep power inside of her.
She's absolutely brimming with rage, she's just.
- She can't.
- Oh yes. - Basically.
- She can't-- - Episode Seven, Vanya can't.
- Help, help!
- [Robert] Episode eight.
- [Emmy] Eight, eight, eight.
- Vanya reacts poorly, to say the least,
and Allison tries to confront her about
being manipulated by Leonard.
She interrogates her further, and finds out that Allison
was coaxed by Hargreeves into using her powers to convince
Vanya that she didn't have nay powers at all!
Vanya throws a fit and cuts Allison's throat!
- (exaggerated blood gurgling)
- Episode nine.
- Seeing that their sister has gone beyond the pail,
the siblings meet at the academy to discuss their options.
- Unbeknownst to everyone, Klaus has been talking
to the ghost of their dead brother, Number Six.
- I'm done listening to you!
- Vanya return to Leonard but finds his journal,
and realizes she's been manipulated by him,
as well as her family.
- You've been manipulating me?
- With no one left to turn to, Vanya kills him too.
- Upset and confused, Vanya tries
to beg for forgiveness at the academy,
but instead they imprison her in
this sort of isolation chamber,
which holds for about an hour.
- With her rage renewed, Vanya breaks free,
destroys the academy, kills Pogo,
who's the closest thing to a positive father figure
that the family ever had.
- Yeah.
- Episode ten. - Episode ten.
- Monkey dad's dead, Vanya's fully insane!
She prepares to use her powers to cause mass destruction.
- Setting off the apocalypse that Five came back to prevent.
- Vanya destroys the academy before he apocalypse.
- The siblings rushed to try to stop her,
but debate whether they should kill her or not.
Meanwhile.
- This time bureau that keeps the timeline intact,
is hell bent on making sure we don't change it.
- They send a small army of soldiers
to stop the siblings from stopping Vanya.
- Klaus channels Number Six's powers,
and repels the enemy soldiers.
(dramatic music)
- Vanya's disarmed by Allison.
She collapses and her power discharges in an energy beam
that fires at the moon.
Heck of a shot!
- That beam causes the moon to break into little pieces,
and those come crashing towards the earth,
ushering in the apocalypse.
- Guys?
- In a last ditch effort to save everyone,
Five gathers up all the siblings,
- You gotta trust me on this.
- No. - No, I don't think so.
- And sends them back to the past,
into their childhood bodies,
to try one more time to save the world!
(explosion)
- Now that you are all up to speed, thanks for watching!
- Stay tuned for season two. - Please?
- Of "The Umbrella Academy", coming.
- Soon, I've traveled to the future, that's how I know.
- He's really Five!
- Bye!
