Secret Seam (2023) Movie Script
1
- Hi!
- Hey, thanks for being
able to do this today.
Embargo logistics
appreciates your openness.
- Yeah. You're welcome.
I'm glad I could do this.
- So, why don't we just go ahead
and start off with some basics.
Tell me a little bit about yourself.
- Well, I have a bachelor's
degree in business management.
I'm a fast learner and
I'm driven for success.
- All right... All good traits.
What about some weaknesses?
What are some things
that might hold you back
from being a really good sales agent?
- The only thing I can
think of in terms of that
would be my inability to give up.
I can sometimes get upset at myself
if I don't remember to upsell the customer.
- Okay.
- I also think I have a
problem comparing...
(Baby crying)
(Glass shattering)
Oh my god!
(Baby crying) I'm so sorry!
Can we reschedule this?
- Yeah, of course.
Obviously, you gotta take
care of some things at home first.
- Again, I am so sorry.
(Sighs)
- Hey, Jon!
- Flint?
- Yes, I'm here to apply for
the sales 'idiot' position please?
Do you have a pen?
- Wha-, no!
- Here you go!
See? I can sell you anything.
I just sold you this pen.
When do I start?
(Chuckling) There's that
dry British humor again.
Haven't you learned anything
from going over to the states?
- Yeah, yeah.
Look, how else am I
supposed to get a hold of you?
You're always at work, you never pick up.
When are we supposed to hang out, man?
It's been a while.
- I don't know.
Sorry for giving you the
cold shoulder, though.
- You need to get out of there, stat!
Those fluorescent lights
are melting your brain.
- (Chuckling) Right, yeah.
- I know a guy who actually used
to work at a place like that once
and the fluorescents really made him,
with the help of hallucinogens,
go crazy and he actually
killed the entire workforce.
Yeah, no.
No, you've been listening
to Chuck Higgins again,
haven't you?
- Are you kidding? Do I ever stop?
'The truth beyond' is
the best radio station
on the western coast.
(Sighs)
- Whatever, I gotta get back to work.
- All right, fine.
Just call me back when you can hang.
I don't want... - Mr. Child!
- Mr. Snyder, what a surprise.
- What're you doin'?
- Um... hey?
- Uh...
Get back to work!
- Seriously, I gotta go.
I'm going over to my
parents later on tonight.
The general's coming over.
- Ah, yes!
Commander daddio.
- He's not my dad.
- Yeah, I know.
Why does he even bother coming round?
It's been, what? Once every two months?
- Closer to three, actually.
I don't know. They have him doing some kind
of crazy secretive thing over at the base.
I can't help you.
- Right, okay. Well, send him my love!
(Sarcastic laughing)
Yeah, okay.
I'll talk to you later.
Here goes nothing.
(Police radio chatter)
- [Officer] All units.
Suspect has been spotted
heading south on Ripley boulevard.
It is believed that he is
heading toward his residence.
E.t.a. Seven minutes.
(Light music)
- Boo-ya! Total supremacy!
- Calm down, your highness.
Just a game.
- Woah, hold up!
Just a game?
Mario's just a game.
Space invaders is just a game.
Halo infinite?
Now, that's a way of life, Jon.
Of life.
Life!
- You need to get out more.
You do know that.
- That's far.
How'd it go with the commander?
- I don't know, he's late... Again.
Here, take a look.
It's been like this for the last 20 minutes
she made a really
delicious-looking tenderloin,
and now it is old and it is cold.
- Should've just ate without the man.
- Well, at any rate, we're gonna
have to figure something El...
(door unlocking) Here we go.
(Distant police sirens blaring)
- [Jon's mother] What's wrong?
- You both need to hide.
Right now. - [Jon] What?
- Look, we ain't got time
to argue about this, okay?
You need to go and hide right now.
Just do what I said.
Just listen to me!
- What's goin' on?
(Door pounding)
- What's goin' on?
- Whatever happens, I
don't care what you hear.
I don't, whatever.
You just stay put, you understand?
Just stay there, do not move.
You understand?
You understand?
(Door pounding)
Listen, I don't want no trouble, okay?
Just leave me alone.
- [Graham] Open up, this is the police.
(Gunshots firing)
(Man screaming)
- I gotta go help your father!
(Man screaming)
- Are you okay?
- I think they may be gone.
I'm gonna go check.
- Dude, no!
(Approaching footsteps)
- [Graham] Is there any sign of it?
- [Hunter] Not that I can see.
- [Graham] We'll have to come back later.
The cops'll be here any minute.
- Mom?
- I called the police.
What's goin' on right now?
- Oh my god.
-Help's on the way.
- Your mother...
- I don't know, I don't see her anywhere.
- They took her.
- What?
- You gotta find her.
- How?
- You gotta find...
You gotta find the seam.
- I don't understand.
- The seam...
It's in the 'great green beyond'.
(Dry heaving)
- [Police] Police! Hands on your head!
Jonathon, your lawyer is here.
- Who?
- Jonathon?
My name's Henry Talbot.
I'm your family's attorney.
- I didn't realize that we had one.
- Your father was a highly
ranked military official.
When an emergency occurs,
attorneys are made available.
Jonathon, I want to first
express my sympathies
for everything you witnessed tonight.
I can't even imagine what
must be going through your head,
but these officers need
to know why it happened,
and because you're the only survor...
They're going to be
looking at you as a suspect.
- What? I didn't do anything!
- I didn't say you did,
but without a clear idea of what happened,
I can't help you.
You say a few men with guns showed up,
killed your father and kidnapped your mom.
Why?
- I don't know.
- Did they say anything?
Were they looking for
anything in particular?
- Yeah, one of the guys came into the house
asked the other one if
they had found 'it' yet,
whatever 'it' is.
- Okay, good.
Do you have any idea what that was?
- He said something about a 'seam'.
- A seam?
Did he say anything else?
- He didn't exactly have a chance.
- Listen, Jonathon.
We don't have much time.
Did he hand you anything?
A thumbdrive, perhaps?
- Not that I can...
- Look, before he showed up,
he called me and he told me
he was gonna drop something off
at your house, and I think it we find it,
it'll really help your case.
- Hold on, you said that
lawyers were called in
when an emergency occurred.
You said nothing about getting
a call before the emergency.
- Where are you hiding it?
(Exhales)
Not talking, huh?
Figured you might be difficult.
Like father... Like son.
(Gun cocking)
(Gunshot)
- Good evening and
welcome to Seattle KWOR news.
I'm Shawn Callaway.
A local man suspected of a double homicide
was brought in for questioning
after police discovered
the grisly aftermath
of a deadly shooting
at his parents' residence.
His stepfather, Samuel MacArthur
was found dead at the scene.
His mother is still missing
and presumed dead.
Now, while being held for questioning,
Mr. Child somehow fired a
round at his family's lawyer
before escaping through a window.
Police are currently on
the lookout for Mr. Child,
who is considered armed
and extremely dangerous.
If you, or anybody you know spots him,
police say do not approach him.
We'll have more on this story
as it develops, so stay with us.
- Jon, dude, what the
hell is going on, man?
You're all over the news!
They're saying that you're a
crazy, deranged psychopath
who's killed your entire family!
- Yeah, well you know I didn't do it.
- Of course, man,
but where the hell are you anyway,
and why did you run from the police?
- Because I don't know who to trust.
Anyways, I'm outside my house right now.
Take a look.
It looks like the cops are patrolling
the house just in case I ever come back,
but I have to get back to the back yard.
- Okay, but why?
- Before he died, the general
said he hid something for me
in 'the great green beyond'.
- Well, are you sure that's
not just a lack of blood talking?
Sorry, I'm a jerk
but the question's still important.
- 'The great green beyond' was
something that my real dad came up with,
I didn't even know that
the general knew about it,
but my dad was into gardening
and to get me into it as well,
he would hide things in the garden
and say that I had to go find it
by going into the 'great green beyond'.
Whatever the general hid
that everybody seems to want
is in that garden and I have to find it.
- But how will you do it?
- Every couple hours, the cop
gets out of the car to patrol the area.
So, I only have a couple minutes.
- Can I just say...
You're nuts, bro!
You need to find out what's going on
on that drive, asap.
- So, I have a huge favor.
You mind if I use your computer?
- Of course, man. Come on over.
- All right, thanks,
man. I'll be right over.
Okay, it's recording.
Do we really have to do this?
- [Flint] Absolutely, man.
What if we end up dead?
We need to document this.
- All right.
My name is Jonathon child
and I am making this video in case of my...
...in case I die.
There's a lot of bad people out there
and they are all looking for this.
Now, I have not looked at this at all,
and I don't even think
I want to, but I have to!
They killed my stepfather over it.
They kidnapped my mom,
and a little bit ago,
they tried to kill me, too.
So, if it's important
enough to spill blood over,
I'm gonna have to create
some kind of backup of it.
- [Flint] Plus, it could self-destruct
once we plug it into the computer.
- It's not 'mission: Impossible', flint.
Anyways, what you're about to
see is not for the faint of heart.
I wouldn't imagine.
Alright.
Let's see what's on here.
- [Flint] What is it?
- Uh, I don't know.
Doesn't seem to be
anything out of the ordinary.
Not exactly super secret spy stuff.
Just a pdf document and some pictures.
- [Flint] Open the pdf.
- [Jon] All right.
All right, what am I even looking at?
- Move over, let me take a look.
Looks like some kind of weird word search.
I mean, no offense, man,
but your folks are being targeted
by something that looks like
you'd find from the
books section in Walmart.
- [Jon] I don't know, it
can't be a word search, man,
because look at the numbers.
- [Flint] Oh yeah, okay.
This looks like some sort of
code that needs to be broken.
- [Jon] What are the images?
- It looks to be mostly
just zoomed-in pictures
of the same code, except for...
Okay, this looks to be
the same Cypher thing,
but the back of the document.
Looks pretty basic,
except for this symbol.
I have no idea what that even is.
- I see a knight,
but other than that, I couldn't
tell you what it means to me.
- [Flint] Wait, I know exactly
who we can ask about this.
- Who?
No.
Flint,
no!
- Good morning, everyone
and welcome back to "the truth beyond".
I'm Chuck Higgins,
and we have a very special episode today,
so strap in, get comfy, and let's chat
about a little something
you may have heard of.
9/11.
I know.
I know, this is one of the theories
that's considered really out there,
like next to the fake moon
landing theories out there,
but hear me out.
We often believe what we see,
because we're accustomed
to believing what we hear.
Well, I stand before you...
Well, I sit before you now
to admit we don't know everything.
Conspiracy theories do sound crazy,
but there is some truth to them.
Dimensions that don't match up;
infrastructures that defied certain
laws of physics during the explosions;
vanishing planes, and most suspiciously,
government officials confiscating
dozens of cameras from citizens
that would have shot the madness
from what would have
been the best vantage point.
Was the footage compromising
some deep secret?
What really happened that day?
It doesn't match up, folks,
and today, we're gonna
clear that up once and for all.
Oh yes, ladies and gentlemen.
The truth is most certainly out there.
- [Richard] Clear for two minutes.
Chuck, there's some kids on the phone
that say they wanna meet you.
They say it's important.
- They say their names?
- Their names are Jonathon
child and Oscar flint, sir.
- Yeah,
I never heard of 'em.
Look, if they wanna talk to me,
they're gonna have to
wait until the show's over.
All right, one last hot take.
Hollywood has been out here for years
making money off the tragedy of 9/11.
People died in real life.
They're spreading awareness, I
get it, but at the same time, like...
Isn't it just kind of weird?
Anyways, that's it for tonight.
Tomorrow, we discuss
another Elvis Presley sighting
and we have an anonymous guest
that claims he knows the real inside scoop
on what happened to Jeffrey Epstein.
Also, a new technique for remote viewing
that's gonna change everything.
It'll be a good one.
So, tune in tomorrow and remember,
if you look hard enough,
the truth is out there.
- [Richard] That's a wrap.
- Again, we're not filming a movie, rich.
Hey, if those guys call back...
- [Richard] They're still on the line.
- They never hung up?
- [Richard] No.
- All right, all right.
The live stream just ended.
Send 'em an invite for a private chat.
I'm gonna talk to 'em.
- [Richard] Yes, sir.
- Hey.
Sorry about that, I just
got out of the studio.
You guys must be dedicated.
How can I help?
- Okay, hi.
My name is Jonathon child.
So, yesterday, a couple of men
broke into my house.
They murdered my stepfather
and they kidnapped my mom
all because they were looking for this.
- What is that?
- Honestly, I was hoping
that you would be able
to tell me that. - I'm flint, by the way.
Huge fan!
- And what's on that?
- Whatever it is
contains a Cypher of some kind,
and from what I could
tell from the Internet,
it's something called a trellis Cypher.
- A trellis?
You sure?
- Well, here.
I can show you some of the files.
Hold on a second.
- Uno momento, fellas.
Uno momento.
Yeah, you're right.
100% a trellis.
There seems to be a
symbol inscribed on the back?
Wait, I...
Where do I know this from?
I think that's a symbol
for the knights of Pythias.
- It could be,
but I mean, what's the knights of...
- you think this is some kind of joke?
- I would not joke about
my stepfather getting killed
and my mother getting kidnapped.
- Okay.
So, do you have any idea what this is?
- No.
- All right, so what you
brought me is a myth.
At least, that's what
the world's considered it
ever since they've heard of the seam.
All right, so the secret seam
has been a popular myth
in some cultures for
as long as I can remember.
The search for the garden of Eden,
of Atlantis, the city of gold,
or the ark of the covenant
are all essentially
trivial easter egg hunts
compared to the seam.
- Yeah, but what is it?
- That's the thing.
Nobody knows for sure.
I mean, there's been a lot of theories,
but the main theory, as broad as it seems,
is that the secret seam is a
rip in the fabric of our universe
that can only be seen
from a very specific location
at a very specific angle.
You have to be looking at it just right
or else you'll miss it.
That makes it incredibly hard to find
and also why no one
knows if it actually exists.
It's virtually invisible.
- Okay, but why would it matter?
Why would a virtually invisible
rip in the fabric of the universe
make a difference?
If it's been around since the dawn of time,
which you seem to suggest,
then what kind of problem is it imposing?
- You're right.
You're absolutely right.
It's not really causing a problem, per se.
It's the people that are after
it who are causing a problem.
They're called the hunters.
They can be anybody from the police
to your neighbor next door.
Hell, I could be one, too.
They all believe
that if you approach the seam,
something unbelievable will happen.
- Like what?
- Again, everyone has a different idea.
Some think it's the fountain
of youth or immortality.
Other people think it's
gonna transport them
to an alternate dimension or universe.
Some people think its, like...
Time travel related, ya know?
But everyone is essentially in agreement
that it must be found,
and they're willing to kill for it.
I believe the hunters
killed your stepfather
and kidnapped your mom, right?
- I don't get it.
They killed my stepfather for
it and they kidnapped my mom.
All for something
that's virtually invisible.
Why?
Why work so hard
for something that
you'll likely never find?
- That Cypher?
That trellis Cypher you have there?
If I'm right about any of this,
it's that that Cypher is a map,
or at least part of a map.
It's been long theorized
that the information
on how to find the seam
is too dangerous for one person.
So, the key to finding
it was to split it apart.
Voldemort style, you know?
The trellis Cypher
traditionally has two parts.
The Cypher itself
and what's called a grille.
A grille is basically
just a piece of cardboard
with holes in it
that tell you which of these
letters and numbers are important.
That's a traditional Cypher.
Like I said, on the backside of the trellis
is a logo for the knights of Pythias.
Like so many other secret societies,
they're responsible for
keeping things a secret.
Memorize this logo,
I can almost guarantee that the grille
and whatever else you need to decipher
will have that same logo.
- This is all too much.
I don't even know where to start
because I don't even have
a grille, or whatever you said it was.
- That's where I may be of some use.
You guys ever hear of the men in black?
- Here comes the 'men in black'...
- Yeah, not the movie with will
Smith and Tommy Lee Jones.
It's funny, don't get me wrong.
It's just not an accurate representation
of what the real men in black are based on.
- I didn't know such a thing existed.
- I mean, most people don't,
but there's been sightings
and other unexplained experiences
dating back to forever ago,
and like everything else,
nobody really knows what they are,
but a lot of people
believe the men in black
are actually aliens.
- We're dealing with aliens now?
- Actually, they may be
aliens, they may not be.
It's not important, though.
The real men in black
are specifically famous
for their ability to keep a secret.
That's the one aspect the movie got right.
The 'secret seam' is one of
the biggest secrets ever told.
I'm willing to bet that the
MIB either has the grille
or they know where to find it.
- Which means we have
to find the men in black.
You wouldn't happen to have
their address, now would you?
- No, but what I do have
is a number of reading
materials for you to mull over.
I'm sending them right now.
It'll prove more useful to you, anyway.
Though, I would focus on
the Maury island incident.
- Wait, Maury island?
I know that.
Why do I know that?
- Geez.
Well, it's probably because
it's only 23 miles away.
Maury island is here, in Washington.
(Running footsteps)
- Dude, what's goin' on?
You're supposed to get
that book from the library
an hour ago.
Are you still there?
- Yeah, hold on.
I've been getting a lot of
weird looks left and right.
There might be hunters here.
Hold on.
(Phone buzzing)
- Yeah.
No, I didn't lose him.
He's around here somewhere.
I'll find him.
- Get out of there, then!
- I will, hold on a second.
(Door closing)
Okay, so I found one of the
books Chuck was referring to.
It's unfortunately just a
reference book, though.
So, I can not check it out of the library.
Listen to this.
The Muary island incident
occurred in the summer of 1947
where an independent aviator
saw a group of what
can only be called UFOs.
That's not that strange.
But at the same exact time,
a couple of boaters, a father-son
and their dog
also saw this group of UFOs.
What's weird about it
is that they also saw pieces
of metal falling from the UFOs,
like a white-ish metal that fell from it.
It hit one of the guys, breaking their arms
and it also hit their
dog and it killed the dog,
which is crazy!
It's very unique for any kind
of UFO story that I've ever heard.
So, obviously the FBI looked into it.
They officially concluded
that it was a hoax,
but ufologists around the world
believe that that's a coverup.
- Yeah, and so does Chuck.
- Yes, but Chuck also
thinks everything's a cover-up.
That's besides the point.
One of these guys went around town
telling everybody that would listen to him
about what they saw, what they experienced,
and the very next day,
that is when he saw the man in black.
So, the men in black
showed up at his front doorstep
suggesting that they
eat breakfast together,
and that's only where the weirdness began
because the men in
black didn't ask this guy,
his name is Harold Dahl,
they didn't ask him anything.
They simply just narrated
everything that he saw
to a t,
and basically said that they mean business
and if he goes around
continuing to tell anybody else his story,
then some very bad things
were going to happen to him.
They threatened him.
And so, obviously, he
stopped talking about it.
He recanted his story,
he said he made it all up,
and conspiracy theorists everywhere
simply say of course he would.
He's so terrified of the men in black
that he had to pull his story.
- So, that's the Maruy island incident?
That's wild!
- Well, yeah,
but it still gets us no closer
to finding out where to start with
finding an actual man in black.
- Agreed, but if this guy
really went around
and was talking about UFOs
and aliens and caused this big stir
for the men in black to step in,
then I think that's
what we have to do, too.
- All right, so what are you suggesting?
- It's the 21st century, Jon.
How does information spread like wildfire
in today's day in age?
We start on the world wide web.
- Well, I mean your plan is
just as good as anybody's.
So, let's do it.
I'll see you in a little bit.
(Phone ringing)
Hello?
(Heavy breathing)
Hello?
- [Graham] Hello, Jonathon.
- [Jon] Who is this?
- [Graham] Quit playing games, kid.
We know that you know where the seam is.
So, tell us, and we won't kill your mom.
- [Mom] Jonathon!
- [Jon] Mom!
- [Graham] Tick, tock, kid.
- [Jon] I don't know, I promise.
This all happened so suddenly!
- [Graham] You'll be
hearing from us very soon,
and Jonathon...
Read anything good lately?
(Mouse scrolling)
- Okay.
So, I'm thinking the best way to
get people's attention in general
is to go to an online forum like this,
where you're allowed
to talk about anything.
The nice thing about this forum is that
you get to pick a U.S. state.
So, for us, that's Washington.
Now, I'm guessing all we have to do
is say new thread
and theoretically
convince people that we saw aliens
right?
- Can't hurt.
- Okay.
So.
I saw a UFO.
I saw something crazy today.
- [Flint] No. - [Jon] What?
- You trying to sound like a tabloid?
Move over, let the pros work their magic.
(Typing)
All right, let's try "UFO spotted
at Maury island 70 years
after the initial incident".
Good?
We have to make it sound legit,
otherwise the men in black
aren't gonna take it seriously.
I have an idea.
(Typing)
Can you think of anything else to add?
- No, not really.
- [Flint] Well, now the hard part.
Waiting for something to happen.
(Thunder crashing)
Hey, Jon!
Wake up, man!
- Wha?
- [Flint] You need to see this!
(Muffled rain pouring)
Crap!
Yo, this is too creepy for me.
The guy's not even trying to
hide the fact that he's creepy.
(Door pounding)
Crap, crap, crap!
(Door pounding)
Oh my god!
(Door pounding)
What do we do?
- I don't know, open the door!
- [Flint] Can I help you?
- The real question is can I help you?
Yesterday evening,
you started an untruthful thread post
stating you witnessed an
unidentified flying object
at Maury island.
This was a lie.
We want to know why.
- What can you tell us
about the secret seam?
We were told that you might know something.
- Be careful what you wish for, Mr. Child.
The secrets of what you seek
aren't for the faint of heart.
- [Flint] Where'd he go?
- [Jon] Maybe he used a neuralyzer.
- [Flint] Not funny.
- You got a scanner?
- [Flint] Not funny, Jonathon.
Not funny.
(Typing)
- Holy crap, dude.
That makes so much sense.
- What does, the tomb of the unknown...
- uh yeah, think about it.
This place is guarded heavily 24/7
for a tomb that doesn't house
any one specific soldier, ya know?
It's more symbolic, really
for soldiers that haven't been identified,
but with that being said,
why have guards for it, then?
Vandals? Okay.
They're definitely guarding something
more than just a symbolic idea,
I'll tell you that much.
- Huh.
I guess I just never thought
about it that way before.
- Jon, whatever you do, keep filming.
You are so close to finding out what
this secret seam might actually be.
I'm rooting for you, man,
but it also means you're gonna have
an even bigger target painted on your back.
I'm sure you knew.
But
the one thing you always
have to keep in mind
is do not forget
about those hunters.
They're always gonna be there,
and trust no one.
- Well, I guess I'm buying
a train ticket to Virginia.
- Alrighty, man.
Good luck.
(Muffled train engine)
(Laughing)
- Where is he?
Where... is... he!?
You all had one fucking job!
Find him and bring him to me now!
Go get him!
Go, go, go!
(Train whistling)
- [Flint] Hell yeah!
Another one down.
Come on,
they seriously have
got to make this harder.
(Phone ringing)
Dude, what in the...
Where are you?
I thought you would have been
halfway to Virginia by now.
- There are hunters everywhere.
I had to jump out of a train.
- Woah, what!
- It's almost like they have a
hive mind or something, because
they are everywhere, man.
They even have dogs.
- Maybe find a cave or something
to hide in until they leave.
- Maybe.
God, I cant do this.
How am I supposed to make it to Virginia
when I can barely only make it to Montana?
- You're in Montana?
- That's not the point, flint!
- All right, just look
for somewhere to hide.
- That's what I've been doing.
Wait a second.
- What is it?
- You are not gonna believe this.
Tell me you see him.
- Oh, bizarre.
Is that the same guy from before also?
- I think so.
Wait.
Where'd he go?
- Dude, follow him!
(Leaves crunching)
- [Jon] Uh, flint?
Are you seeing what I'm seeing?
- This just keeps getting weirder.
- [Jon] What do I do?
- Well, when life gives you lemons...
- [Jon] You make lemonade.
(Sighs) Come on.
Where is this place?
- [Agent] That's not important.
- [Jon] Kind of is.
- What are you doing?
- [Jon] I...
- you were advised not
to continue on this path.
- [Jon] I know, I...
- and you decided
to ignore us.
- [Jon] Yeah.
- [Agent] This will be our final attempt
to request to stop this undertaking
and go back home.
- [Jon] Or what?
All right, well I can't stop.
This is the only way that
I can save my mother.
The only way.
- Very well.
(Wood slamming) (Gasping)
This will take you to
wherever you ask of it.
While you should be
asking it to take you home,
I will not stop you from
asking it anything else.
That is a choice I leave to you.
- [Jon] Another vanishing act, god.
Wherever I ask of it.
(Exhaling)
All right.
The tomb of the unknown soldier.
(Chuckling) No way.
They are never gonna believe this.
(Ringing)
- Jon, hey.
What happened after the door?
- What door?
Hey, Jonathon.
- Sorry, no time, but I do have news.
- How on earth did you get there so fast?
I have to know where that door leads to.
- Okay, can someone tell me what door?
I'm lost!
- So, I have absolutely no idea
how I'm gonna get past these guys.
They never leave.
- I mean, are you really surprised?
If you cross those chains and rails,
they're gonna yell at you,
threaten you with their bayonets.
I mean, they take their job very seriously.
They're good at it.
- But why? It's just a cemetery, isn't it?
- Honestly, that's the
million-dollar question, ain't it?
I mean, if you were asking me,
I'd create a diversion
and then just go for it.
- Okay, and then what?
- Look, if we're right
about this being something
much more than it claims to be,
then I guarantee you these soldiers
can't even follow you into the tomb.
You'll have to get in,
look around for what you want
and do it quick enough
before those soldiers call their superiors,
cause you're gonna be dragged
to federal prison if they get ya.
- I'm sorry, what?
- What do you expect?
They'll shoot you in front of a crowd.
They do not care, trust me,
and once you get into that tomb,
you're gonna be in some pretty big trouble.
(Running)
- [Guard] Remain behind
the chains and rails!
(Heavy stone moving)
(Slamming)
- [Jon] Okay, there doesn't seem to
be any cell reception inside the tomb.
I tried calling the guys to no avail,
but bad news.
There's nothing here.
There's no secret seam, there's no body.
I mean, that second
part's not all that a surprise,
given the fact that Chuck did say that this
was more of a symbolic
thing than an actual tomb,
but it is quiet in here.
I don't know if they lined this
place with lead to kill cell reception
or they lined the place with soundproofing
or what, but
I get the weirdest feeling
that I'm cut off from
the rest of the world.
Now, they did say
that this secret seam
thing is supposed to be
near impossible to spot, so...
I mean, I guess I
should start investigating.
Might as well, right?
Because I'm about to get arrested
for breaking into a national monument.
So, there is that.
God, I'm such an idiot.
There's nothing here.
(Heaving breathing)
I feel so stupid.
That guy from the men in black was right.
He warned me time and time again
not to do this, but I felt as if I had to.
Yeah, yeah, I knew better than
the interdimentional teleporting alien.
Stupid.
No way.
This is impossible.
It's real!
See you on the other side.
(Heavy stones moving)
- [Flint] No way.
No way!
(Mouse scrolling)
(Mumbling)
Ran for the tomb?
(Mumbling)
Hidden entrance.
(Mumbling)
Unable to find him?
Holy shit!
- Hey, flint.
- Hey, so did you read the paper?
- Not yet, I'm sorry,
I'm about to go on air.
What's goin' on?
- It looks like Jonathon was able to do it.
The newspaper shows a picture of him
saying that he broke in, but
when they went in to get him,
poof, not there.
- Oh, wow.
I mean I was rooting for him.
I just didn't think he'd actually do it.
- Yeah, which poses the question
where the hell did he go?
- Well, I mean
I haven't been contacted by him.
- Me, either,
but tell me again
what happens when you touch the seam?
- Yeah, and that's the
million-dollar question.
I mean, everyone seems
to have a different idea on it,
but their ideas range from teleportation,
time travel,
and even disintegration.
- Disentigration?
You mean like... Dead?
- Yeah, I wouldn't read too deep into it.
I mean, a lot of these theories
are just from freaks and geeks
that live in their parents basement
or watch too many episodes
of "the twilight zone".
I mean, none of it has any real proof,
and as far as I'm aware,
no one's ever gotten this far before.
- We're in the dark.
- Yeah, but one thing's for certain.
No matter what,
this ain't over.
Yeah, sorry, I gotta go.
Richard's giving me a look.
- All right.
Break a leg!
Jon?
Oh man, you made it!
Chuck and I have been really worried.
Where the hell have you been?
- Yeah, sorry.
I was at the hospital here.
They had me under a temporary coma.
- You okay?
- I'm fine.
They actually had me
under a John Smith alias
because they couldn't
find identification on me.
- Oh wow.
Why not?
(Chuckling)
- Well, I'm pretty sure
you'll get a kick out of this, but
I was found completely naked in a field.
(Laughing)
- Oh, I'm sorry.
Probably embarrassing.
- It's all good.
Not like I actually remember any of it.
- So, what's the last
thing you do remember?
- Um.
I remember getting into the tomb.
I remember looking at the seam,
and I feel like I walked into it,
but after that, it's a blur,
I don't really remember any of it.
- So, you have amnesia?
- I guess, yeah.
- Did they give you a clean bill of health?
- Yeah, yeah.
They said medically, they
had no reason to hold me.
They gave me a coupon for this place
and the rest is history.
- Yeah, well if hunters weren't bad enough,
you're basically now on
"Americas most wanted"
for breaking into a historic monument
that's been around for nearly a century.
Not to mention
you're still wanted for the
double-homicide of your folks.
- Don't remind me.
- The only thing you actually
have going for you right now
is the fact that people don't expect
you to be halfway on the other side
of the country right now,
but time's running out, man.
Pretty soon, you're gonna have your face
all over national news
where you're not gonna be able to hide
in a comfy hotel.
I kinda hate to rush you,
but we need a plan of action.
- Yeah, yeah.
I'm sorry, flint.
I'm just really tired.
I need to get to sleep.
We'll figure out the next
step in the morning, yeah?
- You're right.
You need your beauty rest.
Sleep tight Princess.
And don't forget to call
me as soon as you're able.
- Okay.
Alright, so status update.
I'm feeling.
Man, I gotta call flint!
- Jon?
Is everything okay?
It's like 2 A.M.
- Oh, I'm feeling more than okay, man!
I mean, last night,
I was not feeling all that great, granted,
but this morning, when I woke up.
Whoo!
I mean, I feel like a new man.
- Okay?
- I feel like I could run a marathon.
You know, I feel like
whatever was in the seam
gave me all this energy,
but what does it all mean?
- It means I need to go back to sleep.
Goodnight, Jo...
Jon?
Where's the weights come from?
- I bought it!
Whoo!
Never felt more energized in my life.
This is crazy!
Okay, can I go back to bed now?
- Fine, as soon as you...
Bless you... As soon as you can, call me
(sneezes)
- Wait. - What's up?
- How'd you know I was gonna sneeze?
- Oh, I don't know.
It just seemed like the right thing to say
at the moment.
- Power of suggestion
I guess.
(Snapping)
- Anyways, I'll let you get back to it.
I know it's in the middle of
the night and everything, but
are you gonna get that?
- Get what? (Phone ringing)
(Ringtone)
- [Chuck] Hello?
I don't know what's
going on with this video.
Jonathon, you're back?
- You can say that again.
- Yeah, I'm back and I'm better than ever.
Ask me something.
- [Chuck] Um... What?
- Ask me something!
- [Chuck] Dude, just spit it
out, I don't have time for this.
- Let's not get too ahead of ourselves,
we don't know exactly what the seam did,
but it definitely changed Jon.
- [Chuck] How?
- Well for one... - I can see the future!
- Okay, so, not exactly the future, per se,
but little things.
So, pick a number, for instance.
- [Chuck] Okay...
- Seven?
Come on man,
get a little more original...
10,677
now we're talking.
- [Chuck] All right, hol...
There's no...
Precognition?
- Yes
and no, that's what's so weird
about the whole thing.
He doesn't know everything.
He just knows some things
some times.
- [Chuck] I mean, this is
weird, but that makes sense.
That's one thing any
modern science fiction film
would naturally get wrong:
Definiting what kind of
limitations there are if and when
you get extra abilities.
Instead, you'll have a
superhero that has a weakness.
Superman has kryptonite,
for instance, but without it,
are we ever really told how
far his laser vision reaches?
It has to stop somewhere, right?
It doesn't just keep
going and going forever.
This is wild.
I mean, I'm starting to sound crazy.
- Hard to wrap your head around, right?
I'm still trying to... - Ask me something!
- [Chuck] I don't even know where to begin.
- Come on, man.
You have all these random trivia facts
just floating around in your head
when you do that show of yours.
So, I need you to have them right now
and test me. (Sighs)
- [Chuck] Okay, okay.
Before it was a hashtag or
a pound key on the phone,
what was that symbol called?
- Octothorpe, next.
- [Chuck] Um...
What's the national animal of Scotland?
- (Chuckling) A unicorn - what!
- [Chuck] It's true.
Did you already know
that, though, Jonathon?
- Not even a little bit.
Keep going.
- [Chuck] In 5-card poker,
what are the odds of getting a royal flush?
- One in 649,740.
- [Chuck] I mean, I don't remember
the exact number right off the bat,
but that does sound right.
Okay, let me ask you something.
What does it feel like?
- The best way that I
can try to describe it
is that it doesn't feel like knowledge.
Instead, it feels a lot
like more like intuition.
It feels like it's just
the right thing to say,
and as it turns out, it often is.
- [Chuck] Damn.
I mean, but you guys he
doesn't get everything right?
- Right, exactly.
So, what I've found
is the bigger the question,
the more unsure I feel
when I answer.
- Yeah, and the theory
is the bigger the question,
the more possibility
that that could change,
but for example, if you were to ask him
about the mathematical odds of a card game
or a national animal.
Yeah, that's unchanging data, facts,
but if you ask him when I was gonna die,
he has no idea!
I could die in 50 years time,
I could die right now.
It depends on a number
of different factors,
but earlier, he actually predicted
I was gonna sneeze,
but I mean
there was a lot of different signs
and he may have taken notice of that.
- [Chuck] Incredible.
(Ringtone)
(Screaming)
- Mom!
- Hello, Jonathon.
I told you we'd be speaking
again soon, didn't I?
Looks like we've been a busy bee lately.
Getting into a wee bit of trouble?
- What do you want?
- Hmm.
Yeah, I'll make it easy for ya.
How about we propose a trade?
You give me what I want,
and I'll give you your mother.
- The seam is at the tomb of the...
(laughing)
- I know where the seam is, child.
Do no pretend
to think you can fool me.
- I don't...
- you don't know what you're dealing with.
You will not stand in
the way of my resolve,
Mr. Child!
- What do I do?
- That's better.
I'm looking for exodus.
You get me that,
and I promise no harm
will come to your mother.
You have 24 hours.
(Ringtone)
- Okay, now what happened?
- The guy that kidnapped my mom,
Graham Seether, said that if we don't
figure out where exodus is in 24 hours,
he'll kill her.
- Did he even tell you what exodus
was supposed to be?
- No, and I couldn't even ask,
because he's clearly deranged.
So, I was hoping that
you'd be able to help me out.
- What does your intuition thing tell you?
- Honestly, not much.
I don't even have much to go off of
other than the general idea
that exodus is code for something.
- Yeah, that doesn't help much.
- Not at all, so can you help me out here?
Because I don't even have a computer.
- Yeah.
Hold on.
(Typing)
Okay, exodus is defined as
a mass departure of people,
especially emigrants.
Some synonyms of this is
evacuation, withdrawal, leaving,
exit and migration.
- [Jon] I figured most of that already.
- Sorry, man.
I don't know what else to do.
- Wait.
We've been going about this the wrong way.
Instead of trying to use my intuition
to try to figure out what exodus
is referring to, or where it is,
I should just be trying to
figure out where my mother is.
Screw exodus!
Flint.
- No way.
You know where she is, don't you?
- And you're not gonna like it.
- What now?
- She's on Maury island.
- You're kiddin' right?
- No, it's some kind of...
I think it's a lighthouse.
- Okay.
- Flint, I can't get to her.
Not in 24 hours.
Not even if I jump in a car right now
and speed all the way to Seattle.
- Oh.
Right.
- Which means...
- Jon, no!
- You're up.
Hey, can you share
your screen for a second?
- I don't know, hold on a minute.
Did that work?
- Yeah, it's just
it's a little bit small on my end.
So, you'll have to work with me
and try to explain what you're seeing.
- I don't know, man.
It just looks like a blueprint.
For me, it looks like
a crosswire section of a lighthouse.
I don't know exactly what
I'm supposed to be looking for.
- Okay, hold on.
All right.
Do you see any ladders on your end?
- [Flint] Yeah, I see stairs going up
and ladders going down, why?
- Because that's our answer.
Where does the ladder lead?
- [Flint] Looks like an
underground room of some sort.
Basement, maybe?
- Maybe, but whatever it is,
my mother's being held in that room.
- Are you sure?
- Yeah, I'm sure,
and right now, I think that theres only
two men keeping an eye on her,
but that might change from now until then.
- Two men.
Okay.
Where can I expect them to be?
- I don't know.
- [Flint] Oh.
- Yet.
I don't know yet.
You're gonna have to call me
when you get to the lighthouse.
- I won't be able to hold up a phone
and film everything, you know?
- I know.
Just call me the old fashioned way.
I'll walk you though the steps
as they come to me.
- I can't believe this is your master plan.
Winging it!
- I have no other option, flint.
- I know.
I get it.
When are we doing this?
- Shouldn't I be asking you that?
- Fine, I'll do it tonight.
Not like I've got anything else going on.
- I appreciate you.
- You better.
You know if I get killed,
I'm gonna come back and haunt you.
- I expect nothing less.
- [Jon] Hello?
- [Flint] I'm here.
- [Jon] Okay.
I have the feeling like
there's a third bogey
that's you're gonna have to deal with.
- [Flint] Fun!
Well, I've got my dad's gun.
How are we doing this, Morpheus?
- [Jon] Very funny.
Well honestly, there's no
need to be stealthy at all.
They'll probably be expecting you.
- [Flint] Okay.
- [Jon] Don't worry about it.
It'll be fine.
Just go through the front door
with your gun aimed to the right.
- [Flint] Why the right?
- [Jon] 'Cause that's where
you're gonna be firing.
- [Flint] All right.
Let's get this over with.
(Footsteps running)
(Gun cocking)
(Guns firing)
(Screaming)
- [Jon] You good?
- [Flint] Not even close, you maniac!
- [Jon] Gotcha.
Well, you see that closet next to you?
- [Flint] Uh-huh.
- [Jon] Get inside and wait five seconds.
(Wooden door creaking)
- [Flint] Okay, I'm there.
- [Jon] In three
two
(guns firing)
(Men screaming)
- [Flint] Holy crap, we're doing it!
- [Jon] Now, the hard one.
- [Flint] Now the hard one?
- [Jon] The third guy is hiding
because he knows his compadres
are all getting gunned down
and doesn't want to be next,
but you can't go get my mom yet
because he'll be waiting for
that exact moment to strike.
- [Flint] Where is he?
- [Jon] Halfway up the stairs,
there's a room with a big door.
That's the living quarters.
He's in there,
right behind the door,
listening to everything
that you're saying right now.
- [Flint] Oh.
Right.
What do I do?
- [Jon] You need to get close enough
to fire everything you have at that door.
- [Flint] Okay.
(Floorboards creaking)
(Guns firing)
(Glass shattering)
- [Flint] You owe me so big.
- [Jon] I knew you could do it.
- [Flint] Yeah, whatever.
You're paying for therapy.
- [Jon] Get downstairs as soon as you can!
(Floorboards creaking)
- [Flint] I see an opening on the floor.
(Metal hinge creaking)
Mrs. C?
(Woman screaming)
- [Jon] Now, flint!
(Wood creaking)
Flint, you there?
Mom?!
- [Flint] Got her.
- [Jon] Oh, thank god.
- [Flint] Jon, there's
something else down here.
- [Jon] What is it?
- [Flint] There's a bunch of Manila folders
on a desk of pictures of people inside,
and it all says deceased.
- [Jon] That's weird.
All right, grab 'em and get out of there.
It's only a matter of time
before Graham or some other
hunter shows up and includes you
in that list of dead people.
- [Flint] You don't have to tell me twice.
- [Jon] And flint?
- [Flint] Yeah?
- [Jon] Make sure my mom
gets somewhere safe.
- [Flint] You know I will.
- [Jon] Call me when you get back home.
- [Flint] Alright, bud.
Talk to you later.
- [Jon] Later.
(Ringtone)
- Everybody safe?
- Yeah, man.
I took your mom to...
- ahh, don't tell me.
We don't know what the
hunters are capable of,
or if they're listening right now.
It's best to keep that a secret right now.
- Smart.
- But as long as she's safe
and you're good, I'm happy.
Seriously, thank you for doing that.
I know it had to have been difficult.
- Difficult doesn't even
begin to define it, man.
- I know.
I know, and I appreciate you so much,
and as soon as I get back...
(Grunting)
- What is it!
(Grunting)
Jon, what is it?
(Grunting)
What is it!
- Do you still have that
remote desktop app installed?
- Dude, what?
- Can I...
Can I just...
Can I log in real quick?
- Okay?
(Typing)
Uh, nice shape, Jon.
- [Jon] It's not just a shape.
- [Flint] What is it?
- [Jon] I don't know.
- Bro, your nose!
- Uh oh.
(Ringtone)
- Are you seeing what I'm
seeing with all these people?
- Yeah, they're all dead.
- They all died of the same thing.
Blood diathesis.
Look that up really quick.
- [Flint] Looks like blood diathesis means
tendency to bruise or bleed
and it can range from mild to severe.
- Well, if they all died
from the same thing,
I'm guessing it's pretty severe.
Plus, all of these people died
apparently two months
after their date of ascension.
Otherwise known as, I'm guessing,
their trip through the secret seam.
Which seals it.
I guess in two months time,
I'm dead, too.
- [Flint] Woah, hold on.
Open Richard Hawkins.
- [Jon] Okay.
- [Flint] He's not dead.
- [Jon] No he's not.
- [Flint] You know who he is?
- [Jon] Not even a little bit.
- [Flint] That's Richard!
Chuck's producer on "the truth beyond".
- [Jon] You're kidding, hold on.
(Ringtone)
- Yo, I was just about to start my show.
What's goin' on?
Hey man, you doin' okay?
- Yeah, I'm fine.
We actually called to talk to Richard.
Is he there?
- Yeah, he's sitting
right here staring at me.
- Hand him the phone.
- Um, alright.
Just a second.
- Can I help you guys?
- Yeah, you can start by telling us
what you know about the secret seam.
(Sighs)
- Look.
I was younger than I am now,
and I was much more impressionable.
When Chuck would do his
episodes on the secret seam,
I would be really invested.
I wanted to find the seam
as much as anyone else did, and hey,
I did.
- But why aren't you dead?
- Jonathon,
did you write the code yet?
- Yeah, how did you know?
- They all wrote the code, and so did I.
The answers that you're looking for
are in that code.
I just... Mm.
I shouldn't tell you this.
- Tell us.
- Just like anything else in the world,
there's more than one way to skin a cat.
Okay?
So, there's a lot more to
that code than you think
or could possibly imagine.
- Like what?
- I'm sorry.
I can't tell you, man.
That's something you're gonna
have to find out for yourself.
But
good luck, Jonathon.
- [Chuck] You knew where the seam was!?
- Holy crap!
(Ringtone)
- You think you're smart, don't you?
Taking the queen?
- My mom's not your...
- no, not your mom, you idiot.
The queen!
The queen from chess?
- Never played.
- You've never?
You know what, nevermind.
It doesn't matter.
This isn't over.
- Pretty sure it is.
- How's your nosebleeds?
Still just from the nose?
- What do you want?
- Same as before.
I want exodus, and
I'm still willing to trade.
- I already have my mom.
What else could you...
- An antidote.
- What?
- I have an antidote.
Trial runs prove that it works
and it could be yours.
Just get me exodus.
- Give me 24 more hours.
- Not a chance.
I saw what you did with 24.
You have two hours.
Take it or leave it.
- Fine.
I'll call you back with a
plan for the exchange.
- Fine.
No funny business.
- I wouldn't dream of it.
- [Flint] Jon, we can't do two hours.
- No, we can't, and
it's less than that now.
We need to figure out what we're doing.
- Okay, well, Richard said that
the key to all of our problems
is in that code thingy you wrote out.
Right? - Yeah.
- Open that up.
- [Flint] Well, what are we waiting for?
Use your intuition.
- Code?
Code within a code.
- Okay.
Well, that's something, at least.
- Fcb/ln2
fcb.
Where have I heard
those three letters before?
- Facebook?
- Yeah, right.
No, flint.
Go back to the flashdrive.
Go to the images folder
and choose the last one.
- Oh yeah!
So, that explains fcb,
but what about the rest?
- [Jon] Google it.
- [Flint] Give me a second.
Dark matter, like black holes?
- No, not exactly.
I feel like dark matter is everywhere.
- [Flint] Yeah, dark matter
is the most mysterious,
non-interacting substance in the universe.
Its gravitational effects are necessary
to explain the rotation of galaxies.
- Right, yeah.
Dark matter is supposed to
have this great gravitational pull.
That's why it's such a
popular theory with black holes.
You can't see it.
No lights coming through, but it is there,
and its sucking everything through.
- Wait, is this saying the
seam itself is a black hole?
- No, I would seriously doubt
the secret seam was created
by a black hole because I was there
and I never felt a
gravitational pull towards it.
I voluntarily walked through.
- All right, this looks
like a job for Chuck.
(Ringtone)
- Gentlemen.
- Got a bit of a mystery for you to solve.
- I mean, don't you always?
I'll put on my thinking cap.
- All right, so apparently,
the secret seam is made from dark matter.
This does make sense
because it's nearly invisible
to the naked eye, but it doesn't make sense
because I never felt a gravitational
force when I was right next to it.
- I get it, but you gotta think.
Something has to be
containing the dark matter.
- Yeah, or something.
- I have an idea.
It's probably a stretch, but hear me out.
- We're all ears.
- Typically, whenever you
have a gravitational pull
of any kind, the only thing
that's gonna cancel it out
is another gravitational
pull from a different direction.
- You mean like two opposing magnets.
- Exactly.
More than likely,
you're looking for another seam.
- Holy crap!
Exodus is another seam.
Thanks, Chuck!
- My pleasure.
Keep me posted.
- Okay, so now that we know
that there's another seam,
what do we do?
- Honestly, I say we learn everything
that we can on the knights of Pythias,
since that was a part of the code, as well.
- [Flint] Okay, the knights of Pythias
was a secret society founded in 1864
in Washington D.C.
(Mouse scrolling)
The fraternal order knights of Pythias
was founded on this site 914 e street N.W.
On February 19, 1864.
Charter granted by
President Lincoln, what!?
- What was that address again?
- 914 e street, N.W.
- And that's in Washington, D.C.?
- [Flint] Doesn't say on
the plaque, but I imagine so.
- Dude.
- What?
- You are not going to believe this.
- What is it?
- Look up that address on Google maps
and tell me it's not a coincidence.
- Okay.
(Typing)
(Mouse scrolling)
The FBI?
- My thoughts exactly.
I just looked it up.
The FBI wasn't even
founded until another 40 years
after the knights of Pythias showed up,
so nowhere on Wikipedia
or their official website
does it say anything
about the FBI, come on.
- What do you think it means?
- I'll tell you a theory I just had.
- Go for it.
- What if the knights of Pythias,
being a secret society,
originally had the
information on both seams,
but for whatever reason
became too dangerous to keep in one place
at the same time.
So, they split up,
and lets say
the original knights of Pythias,
they decided to take the information
of the tomb of the unknown soldier
with them.
That's why we see the insignia
of the knights on the back
of the Cypher, on the
back of the grille, all that.
But what happens over here?
What if, now just hear me out.
What if fcb... Changed to FBI,
and FBI has the information on exodus.
- Certainly plausible.
We've definitely seen
crazier throughout this journey.
- Exactly.
- What do we do now?
- Now?
Now we need to do something about Graham.
- [Jon] Hey, you there?
- [Flint] Yeah.
- [Jon] Okay. (Ringing)
I need you to be quiet while I talk to him.
He can be kind of temperamental. (Ringing)
So, just... (Ringing)
- [Graham] I was beginning to
wonder if you'd have the spine
to call me back.
How's the nose bleeds?
- [Jon] You wanna talk business or what?
- [Graham] You got exodus?
- [Jon] Yeah.
- [Graham] Are you lying to me, boy?
- [Jon] I guess there's
only one way to find out.
(Sighs)
- [Graham] Where do you want to do this?
- [Jon] Meet me at the parking lot
at 2799 Richmond
highway, Arlington, Virginia.
- [Graham] Hey, kid.
- [Jon] What?
- [Graham] Look outside.
(Blinds retracting)
- [Jon] You've been here the whole time?
- [Graham] Why do you
think I wasn't at the lighthouse?
Get down here before I
have to come up there.
- [Jon] Fine, just a moment.
(Phone line ends)
You still there?
- [Flint] Yeah, that guy sounds serious.
Are you really gonna give
him the location to exodus?
- [Jon] No.
I'm gonna give him
what he wanted all along.
The thing that he was
willing to kill my stepfather
and kidnap my mom over.
I'm giving him the flashdrive,
or at least a copy of it.
- [Flint] Do you really
think that's the best idea?
That says nothing about exodus.
- [Jon] Yeah, I know
that, and you know that,
but he doesn't.
Because if he always knew
where the first seam was,
then he must have
believed that my stepfather
had more information on
exodus, which he didn't.
So, he killed him for nothing.
- [Flint] I'm sorry, man.
(Sighs) - [Jon] I gotta go.
- We finally meet face-to-face.
- You know, I recognize your voice now.
I thought I heard it before,
but now I remember.
It was you at my house
that night, wasn't it?
- Ah yes.
I am the one who killed your stepfather,
but to be fair, he kinda deserved it.
After all, he did kill
my right-hand man first.
Now, no more delays.
Exodus.
Hand it over.
- You killed my stepfather
over this piece of plastic.
- And I would do it again.
Meanwhile.
This little thing determines
whether or not you live or die.
- Richard took that antidote, didn't he?
That's why he survived.
- Oh.
You found Mr. Hawkins.
- What did he have
to sacrifice to get that?
- He gave me your stepfather.
- Let's just get this over with.
- Pleasure doing business with you.
- Well, how'd it go?
- It's over.
It's all over.
Can you guys see it?
- Yeah, we see it all right.
- We can finally put all of this behind...
Oh god.
- What now? - Well...
- You're gonna have to
be put on hold for a second.
Graham's calling.
- It's been like two minutes.
- Yeah, I know.
- Yeah?
- You think I wouldn't notice?
You think I wouldn't expect a trick?
- I guess not.
- I told you.
No funny business.
- Can you blame me?
- No matter.
If you leave me with nothing,
I leave you with nothing.
(Shattering)
- What did you do?
- Returning the favor
of stripping you of hope.
- Hey, Graham.
- What is it?
- You're not the only
person with trust issues.
- Oh?
- Yeah, you've been a little bit sloppy
in your pursuit of exodus,
haven't you, Graham?
I've been documenting my entire experience
with this thing from the get-go,
and I have you and your men
trying to kill me everywhere I go.
So, I took that footage
and I sent it to the police
to prove that hunters are real.
- Please.
You think they'll find me?
I operate in the shadows.
Not existing is my business.
Yeah, I figured you might
say something like that.
That's why I included an incredibly basic
and portable executable file
that runs automatically when
you plug it into a computer,
which I knew you would,
and what does that program do?
It tracks your location
and it sends the results
to any recipient that I pick.
Good luck staying in those shadows, Graham.
(Door crashing open)
- [Police] Hands on your head!
- No!
- [Mom] Hello?
- [Jon] Hey, mom.
- [Mom] Jonathon, are you all right?
- Yeah, mom, I'm fine.
Listen, I just wanted to call to
make sure that's you're okay.
Are you okay?
- [Mom] I'm a little shook
up about everything,
but I'm doing better every day.
- [Jon] Yeah.
Yeah, I'm sorry that you
had to go through all that
and I never got to talk
to you about the general.
Hey.
Did I ever tell you my
favorite story of him?
- [Mom] No.
- [Jon] So, I was eight,
and it was a couple
of years after dad died.
The general wanted to
take me out to the woods
to fire a gun for the first time,
or at least watch him hunt.
He figured it was gonna
be this big bonding moment,
and at that age, I thought it was so cool,
but on the way there, I saw
a dog on the side of the road.
It had to have been just hit by a car
and suddenly the prospect of
wanting to kill another animal
died with that dog that we saw.
He wasn't the biggest with his words,
but the general looked at me and he said,
"son, we all die some day.
"The trick is making life worth the fight,
"so that when that day comes,
you leave behind a legacy."
And then he goes on to
tell me that I was his legacy.
Later that day, we got Charlie.
- [Mom] Our dog, Charlie?
- [Jon] Yeah.
Yeah, I shouldn't have fought
so hard all these years claiming
that he wasn't my dad.
I was stupid, stubborn, but I get it now.
He was my dad.
I just...
I wish I could have told him thank you.
- [Mom] He knew.
- [Jon] Mom.
- [Mom] Yes?
- [Jon] I have one last thing
to do before this is all over.
- [Mom] What is it?
- [Jon] I can't tell you.
But if it goes well, we
will see each other soon.
If not, just know that I love you and...
Thank you for being my mom.
- [Mom] Jon...
- [Jon] Bye.
- Alright, I'm here.
Now, if I'm right, this is
where I'm supposed to go,
and I'm leading myself entirely
through intuition at this point,
but I mean, it feels right,
I just don't know what it's all about,
why I just know things I shouldn't know,
but what I do know
is that whatever I have is killing me
and I need to move before a hunter sees me.
So.
So, my intuition's telling
me that this is the right door.
(Locked door)
No, no, no, no.
No, this can't be happening.
This can't be happening.
What the?
(Door unlocking)
(Door shutting)
I can't see anything.
Where's the light switch?
There it is.
God.
So, I don't know what's gonna happen next.
I don't know what this all means, either.
Why I have this intuition
where I just know things
that I'm not supposed to know.
I have no idea what's gonna
happen when I walk through exodus.
I could die.
I could get better.
It could be anything in between.
Jury's out, so anybody
who's watching this right now.
This is just a reminder that
there is more to this world
than you realize.
There is magic, there is
wonder, there is the unexplained.
You know?
The secret seam exists,
but that's not always a good thing.
I'm gonna leave the camera
here rolling as I step into exodus.
If I die, then tell the world.
Use this footage that I've
collected over this experience
and tell them about me, tell
them about the secret seam,
tell them about exodus,
tell them about hunters,
tell them about everything.
People are dying over this thing.
They are disappearing.
Don't let me disappear with them.
- Welcome back.
Have you heard of the secret seam?
Conspiracy theorists call it a
rip in the fabric of space and time.
Now, according to government
officials, it doesn't exist,
but that doesn't explain this footage,
where a man is seen
entering what appears to be
an impossible doorway
before vanishing into thin
air along with the opening.
Not much is known as to
how valid this footage is.
What is known, though, is that
the man in question, Jonathon child,
has been missing for the last two months.
Many people believe him to be dead,
but those among the conspiracy crowd
believe Mr. Child is still out there
and that fact may be stranger than fiction.
Tonight, an anonymous
source sent in this image
of a man that bear some
resemblance to Mr. Child.
Now, experts aren't
available to confirm or deny
that this is Jonathon child,
and the case for his
disappearance remains open.
However, if the man in the
image was not Mr. Child after all,
then who was it?
We'll leave you with this tonight.
Thank you for watching KWOR nightly news.
I'm Shawn Callaway signing off.
Have a good night.
(Dramatic music)
- Hi!
- Hey, thanks for being
able to do this today.
Embargo logistics
appreciates your openness.
- Yeah. You're welcome.
I'm glad I could do this.
- So, why don't we just go ahead
and start off with some basics.
Tell me a little bit about yourself.
- Well, I have a bachelor's
degree in business management.
I'm a fast learner and
I'm driven for success.
- All right... All good traits.
What about some weaknesses?
What are some things
that might hold you back
from being a really good sales agent?
- The only thing I can
think of in terms of that
would be my inability to give up.
I can sometimes get upset at myself
if I don't remember to upsell the customer.
- Okay.
- I also think I have a
problem comparing...
(Baby crying)
(Glass shattering)
Oh my god!
(Baby crying) I'm so sorry!
Can we reschedule this?
- Yeah, of course.
Obviously, you gotta take
care of some things at home first.
- Again, I am so sorry.
(Sighs)
- Hey, Jon!
- Flint?
- Yes, I'm here to apply for
the sales 'idiot' position please?
Do you have a pen?
- Wha-, no!
- Here you go!
See? I can sell you anything.
I just sold you this pen.
When do I start?
(Chuckling) There's that
dry British humor again.
Haven't you learned anything
from going over to the states?
- Yeah, yeah.
Look, how else am I
supposed to get a hold of you?
You're always at work, you never pick up.
When are we supposed to hang out, man?
It's been a while.
- I don't know.
Sorry for giving you the
cold shoulder, though.
- You need to get out of there, stat!
Those fluorescent lights
are melting your brain.
- (Chuckling) Right, yeah.
- I know a guy who actually used
to work at a place like that once
and the fluorescents really made him,
with the help of hallucinogens,
go crazy and he actually
killed the entire workforce.
Yeah, no.
No, you've been listening
to Chuck Higgins again,
haven't you?
- Are you kidding? Do I ever stop?
'The truth beyond' is
the best radio station
on the western coast.
(Sighs)
- Whatever, I gotta get back to work.
- All right, fine.
Just call me back when you can hang.
I don't want... - Mr. Child!
- Mr. Snyder, what a surprise.
- What're you doin'?
- Um... hey?
- Uh...
Get back to work!
- Seriously, I gotta go.
I'm going over to my
parents later on tonight.
The general's coming over.
- Ah, yes!
Commander daddio.
- He's not my dad.
- Yeah, I know.
Why does he even bother coming round?
It's been, what? Once every two months?
- Closer to three, actually.
I don't know. They have him doing some kind
of crazy secretive thing over at the base.
I can't help you.
- Right, okay. Well, send him my love!
(Sarcastic laughing)
Yeah, okay.
I'll talk to you later.
Here goes nothing.
(Police radio chatter)
- [Officer] All units.
Suspect has been spotted
heading south on Ripley boulevard.
It is believed that he is
heading toward his residence.
E.t.a. Seven minutes.
(Light music)
- Boo-ya! Total supremacy!
- Calm down, your highness.
Just a game.
- Woah, hold up!
Just a game?
Mario's just a game.
Space invaders is just a game.
Halo infinite?
Now, that's a way of life, Jon.
Of life.
Life!
- You need to get out more.
You do know that.
- That's far.
How'd it go with the commander?
- I don't know, he's late... Again.
Here, take a look.
It's been like this for the last 20 minutes
she made a really
delicious-looking tenderloin,
and now it is old and it is cold.
- Should've just ate without the man.
- Well, at any rate, we're gonna
have to figure something El...
(door unlocking) Here we go.
(Distant police sirens blaring)
- [Jon's mother] What's wrong?
- You both need to hide.
Right now. - [Jon] What?
- Look, we ain't got time
to argue about this, okay?
You need to go and hide right now.
Just do what I said.
Just listen to me!
- What's goin' on?
(Door pounding)
- What's goin' on?
- Whatever happens, I
don't care what you hear.
I don't, whatever.
You just stay put, you understand?
Just stay there, do not move.
You understand?
You understand?
(Door pounding)
Listen, I don't want no trouble, okay?
Just leave me alone.
- [Graham] Open up, this is the police.
(Gunshots firing)
(Man screaming)
- I gotta go help your father!
(Man screaming)
- Are you okay?
- I think they may be gone.
I'm gonna go check.
- Dude, no!
(Approaching footsteps)
- [Graham] Is there any sign of it?
- [Hunter] Not that I can see.
- [Graham] We'll have to come back later.
The cops'll be here any minute.
- Mom?
- I called the police.
What's goin' on right now?
- Oh my god.
-Help's on the way.
- Your mother...
- I don't know, I don't see her anywhere.
- They took her.
- What?
- You gotta find her.
- How?
- You gotta find...
You gotta find the seam.
- I don't understand.
- The seam...
It's in the 'great green beyond'.
(Dry heaving)
- [Police] Police! Hands on your head!
Jonathon, your lawyer is here.
- Who?
- Jonathon?
My name's Henry Talbot.
I'm your family's attorney.
- I didn't realize that we had one.
- Your father was a highly
ranked military official.
When an emergency occurs,
attorneys are made available.
Jonathon, I want to first
express my sympathies
for everything you witnessed tonight.
I can't even imagine what
must be going through your head,
but these officers need
to know why it happened,
and because you're the only survor...
They're going to be
looking at you as a suspect.
- What? I didn't do anything!
- I didn't say you did,
but without a clear idea of what happened,
I can't help you.
You say a few men with guns showed up,
killed your father and kidnapped your mom.
Why?
- I don't know.
- Did they say anything?
Were they looking for
anything in particular?
- Yeah, one of the guys came into the house
asked the other one if
they had found 'it' yet,
whatever 'it' is.
- Okay, good.
Do you have any idea what that was?
- He said something about a 'seam'.
- A seam?
Did he say anything else?
- He didn't exactly have a chance.
- Listen, Jonathon.
We don't have much time.
Did he hand you anything?
A thumbdrive, perhaps?
- Not that I can...
- Look, before he showed up,
he called me and he told me
he was gonna drop something off
at your house, and I think it we find it,
it'll really help your case.
- Hold on, you said that
lawyers were called in
when an emergency occurred.
You said nothing about getting
a call before the emergency.
- Where are you hiding it?
(Exhales)
Not talking, huh?
Figured you might be difficult.
Like father... Like son.
(Gun cocking)
(Gunshot)
- Good evening and
welcome to Seattle KWOR news.
I'm Shawn Callaway.
A local man suspected of a double homicide
was brought in for questioning
after police discovered
the grisly aftermath
of a deadly shooting
at his parents' residence.
His stepfather, Samuel MacArthur
was found dead at the scene.
His mother is still missing
and presumed dead.
Now, while being held for questioning,
Mr. Child somehow fired a
round at his family's lawyer
before escaping through a window.
Police are currently on
the lookout for Mr. Child,
who is considered armed
and extremely dangerous.
If you, or anybody you know spots him,
police say do not approach him.
We'll have more on this story
as it develops, so stay with us.
- Jon, dude, what the
hell is going on, man?
You're all over the news!
They're saying that you're a
crazy, deranged psychopath
who's killed your entire family!
- Yeah, well you know I didn't do it.
- Of course, man,
but where the hell are you anyway,
and why did you run from the police?
- Because I don't know who to trust.
Anyways, I'm outside my house right now.
Take a look.
It looks like the cops are patrolling
the house just in case I ever come back,
but I have to get back to the back yard.
- Okay, but why?
- Before he died, the general
said he hid something for me
in 'the great green beyond'.
- Well, are you sure that's
not just a lack of blood talking?
Sorry, I'm a jerk
but the question's still important.
- 'The great green beyond' was
something that my real dad came up with,
I didn't even know that
the general knew about it,
but my dad was into gardening
and to get me into it as well,
he would hide things in the garden
and say that I had to go find it
by going into the 'great green beyond'.
Whatever the general hid
that everybody seems to want
is in that garden and I have to find it.
- But how will you do it?
- Every couple hours, the cop
gets out of the car to patrol the area.
So, I only have a couple minutes.
- Can I just say...
You're nuts, bro!
You need to find out what's going on
on that drive, asap.
- So, I have a huge favor.
You mind if I use your computer?
- Of course, man. Come on over.
- All right, thanks,
man. I'll be right over.
Okay, it's recording.
Do we really have to do this?
- [Flint] Absolutely, man.
What if we end up dead?
We need to document this.
- All right.
My name is Jonathon child
and I am making this video in case of my...
...in case I die.
There's a lot of bad people out there
and they are all looking for this.
Now, I have not looked at this at all,
and I don't even think
I want to, but I have to!
They killed my stepfather over it.
They kidnapped my mom,
and a little bit ago,
they tried to kill me, too.
So, if it's important
enough to spill blood over,
I'm gonna have to create
some kind of backup of it.
- [Flint] Plus, it could self-destruct
once we plug it into the computer.
- It's not 'mission: Impossible', flint.
Anyways, what you're about to
see is not for the faint of heart.
I wouldn't imagine.
Alright.
Let's see what's on here.
- [Flint] What is it?
- Uh, I don't know.
Doesn't seem to be
anything out of the ordinary.
Not exactly super secret spy stuff.
Just a pdf document and some pictures.
- [Flint] Open the pdf.
- [Jon] All right.
All right, what am I even looking at?
- Move over, let me take a look.
Looks like some kind of weird word search.
I mean, no offense, man,
but your folks are being targeted
by something that looks like
you'd find from the
books section in Walmart.
- [Jon] I don't know, it
can't be a word search, man,
because look at the numbers.
- [Flint] Oh yeah, okay.
This looks like some sort of
code that needs to be broken.
- [Jon] What are the images?
- It looks to be mostly
just zoomed-in pictures
of the same code, except for...
Okay, this looks to be
the same Cypher thing,
but the back of the document.
Looks pretty basic,
except for this symbol.
I have no idea what that even is.
- I see a knight,
but other than that, I couldn't
tell you what it means to me.
- [Flint] Wait, I know exactly
who we can ask about this.
- Who?
No.
Flint,
no!
- Good morning, everyone
and welcome back to "the truth beyond".
I'm Chuck Higgins,
and we have a very special episode today,
so strap in, get comfy, and let's chat
about a little something
you may have heard of.
9/11.
I know.
I know, this is one of the theories
that's considered really out there,
like next to the fake moon
landing theories out there,
but hear me out.
We often believe what we see,
because we're accustomed
to believing what we hear.
Well, I stand before you...
Well, I sit before you now
to admit we don't know everything.
Conspiracy theories do sound crazy,
but there is some truth to them.
Dimensions that don't match up;
infrastructures that defied certain
laws of physics during the explosions;
vanishing planes, and most suspiciously,
government officials confiscating
dozens of cameras from citizens
that would have shot the madness
from what would have
been the best vantage point.
Was the footage compromising
some deep secret?
What really happened that day?
It doesn't match up, folks,
and today, we're gonna
clear that up once and for all.
Oh yes, ladies and gentlemen.
The truth is most certainly out there.
- [Richard] Clear for two minutes.
Chuck, there's some kids on the phone
that say they wanna meet you.
They say it's important.
- They say their names?
- Their names are Jonathon
child and Oscar flint, sir.
- Yeah,
I never heard of 'em.
Look, if they wanna talk to me,
they're gonna have to
wait until the show's over.
All right, one last hot take.
Hollywood has been out here for years
making money off the tragedy of 9/11.
People died in real life.
They're spreading awareness, I
get it, but at the same time, like...
Isn't it just kind of weird?
Anyways, that's it for tonight.
Tomorrow, we discuss
another Elvis Presley sighting
and we have an anonymous guest
that claims he knows the real inside scoop
on what happened to Jeffrey Epstein.
Also, a new technique for remote viewing
that's gonna change everything.
It'll be a good one.
So, tune in tomorrow and remember,
if you look hard enough,
the truth is out there.
- [Richard] That's a wrap.
- Again, we're not filming a movie, rich.
Hey, if those guys call back...
- [Richard] They're still on the line.
- They never hung up?
- [Richard] No.
- All right, all right.
The live stream just ended.
Send 'em an invite for a private chat.
I'm gonna talk to 'em.
- [Richard] Yes, sir.
- Hey.
Sorry about that, I just
got out of the studio.
You guys must be dedicated.
How can I help?
- Okay, hi.
My name is Jonathon child.
So, yesterday, a couple of men
broke into my house.
They murdered my stepfather
and they kidnapped my mom
all because they were looking for this.
- What is that?
- Honestly, I was hoping
that you would be able
to tell me that. - I'm flint, by the way.
Huge fan!
- And what's on that?
- Whatever it is
contains a Cypher of some kind,
and from what I could
tell from the Internet,
it's something called a trellis Cypher.
- A trellis?
You sure?
- Well, here.
I can show you some of the files.
Hold on a second.
- Uno momento, fellas.
Uno momento.
Yeah, you're right.
100% a trellis.
There seems to be a
symbol inscribed on the back?
Wait, I...
Where do I know this from?
I think that's a symbol
for the knights of Pythias.
- It could be,
but I mean, what's the knights of...
- you think this is some kind of joke?
- I would not joke about
my stepfather getting killed
and my mother getting kidnapped.
- Okay.
So, do you have any idea what this is?
- No.
- All right, so what you
brought me is a myth.
At least, that's what
the world's considered it
ever since they've heard of the seam.
All right, so the secret seam
has been a popular myth
in some cultures for
as long as I can remember.
The search for the garden of Eden,
of Atlantis, the city of gold,
or the ark of the covenant
are all essentially
trivial easter egg hunts
compared to the seam.
- Yeah, but what is it?
- That's the thing.
Nobody knows for sure.
I mean, there's been a lot of theories,
but the main theory, as broad as it seems,
is that the secret seam is a
rip in the fabric of our universe
that can only be seen
from a very specific location
at a very specific angle.
You have to be looking at it just right
or else you'll miss it.
That makes it incredibly hard to find
and also why no one
knows if it actually exists.
It's virtually invisible.
- Okay, but why would it matter?
Why would a virtually invisible
rip in the fabric of the universe
make a difference?
If it's been around since the dawn of time,
which you seem to suggest,
then what kind of problem is it imposing?
- You're right.
You're absolutely right.
It's not really causing a problem, per se.
It's the people that are after
it who are causing a problem.
They're called the hunters.
They can be anybody from the police
to your neighbor next door.
Hell, I could be one, too.
They all believe
that if you approach the seam,
something unbelievable will happen.
- Like what?
- Again, everyone has a different idea.
Some think it's the fountain
of youth or immortality.
Other people think it's
gonna transport them
to an alternate dimension or universe.
Some people think its, like...
Time travel related, ya know?
But everyone is essentially in agreement
that it must be found,
and they're willing to kill for it.
I believe the hunters
killed your stepfather
and kidnapped your mom, right?
- I don't get it.
They killed my stepfather for
it and they kidnapped my mom.
All for something
that's virtually invisible.
Why?
Why work so hard
for something that
you'll likely never find?
- That Cypher?
That trellis Cypher you have there?
If I'm right about any of this,
it's that that Cypher is a map,
or at least part of a map.
It's been long theorized
that the information
on how to find the seam
is too dangerous for one person.
So, the key to finding
it was to split it apart.
Voldemort style, you know?
The trellis Cypher
traditionally has two parts.
The Cypher itself
and what's called a grille.
A grille is basically
just a piece of cardboard
with holes in it
that tell you which of these
letters and numbers are important.
That's a traditional Cypher.
Like I said, on the backside of the trellis
is a logo for the knights of Pythias.
Like so many other secret societies,
they're responsible for
keeping things a secret.
Memorize this logo,
I can almost guarantee that the grille
and whatever else you need to decipher
will have that same logo.
- This is all too much.
I don't even know where to start
because I don't even have
a grille, or whatever you said it was.
- That's where I may be of some use.
You guys ever hear of the men in black?
- Here comes the 'men in black'...
- Yeah, not the movie with will
Smith and Tommy Lee Jones.
It's funny, don't get me wrong.
It's just not an accurate representation
of what the real men in black are based on.
- I didn't know such a thing existed.
- I mean, most people don't,
but there's been sightings
and other unexplained experiences
dating back to forever ago,
and like everything else,
nobody really knows what they are,
but a lot of people
believe the men in black
are actually aliens.
- We're dealing with aliens now?
- Actually, they may be
aliens, they may not be.
It's not important, though.
The real men in black
are specifically famous
for their ability to keep a secret.
That's the one aspect the movie got right.
The 'secret seam' is one of
the biggest secrets ever told.
I'm willing to bet that the
MIB either has the grille
or they know where to find it.
- Which means we have
to find the men in black.
You wouldn't happen to have
their address, now would you?
- No, but what I do have
is a number of reading
materials for you to mull over.
I'm sending them right now.
It'll prove more useful to you, anyway.
Though, I would focus on
the Maury island incident.
- Wait, Maury island?
I know that.
Why do I know that?
- Geez.
Well, it's probably because
it's only 23 miles away.
Maury island is here, in Washington.
(Running footsteps)
- Dude, what's goin' on?
You're supposed to get
that book from the library
an hour ago.
Are you still there?
- Yeah, hold on.
I've been getting a lot of
weird looks left and right.
There might be hunters here.
Hold on.
(Phone buzzing)
- Yeah.
No, I didn't lose him.
He's around here somewhere.
I'll find him.
- Get out of there, then!
- I will, hold on a second.
(Door closing)
Okay, so I found one of the
books Chuck was referring to.
It's unfortunately just a
reference book, though.
So, I can not check it out of the library.
Listen to this.
The Muary island incident
occurred in the summer of 1947
where an independent aviator
saw a group of what
can only be called UFOs.
That's not that strange.
But at the same exact time,
a couple of boaters, a father-son
and their dog
also saw this group of UFOs.
What's weird about it
is that they also saw pieces
of metal falling from the UFOs,
like a white-ish metal that fell from it.
It hit one of the guys, breaking their arms
and it also hit their
dog and it killed the dog,
which is crazy!
It's very unique for any kind
of UFO story that I've ever heard.
So, obviously the FBI looked into it.
They officially concluded
that it was a hoax,
but ufologists around the world
believe that that's a coverup.
- Yeah, and so does Chuck.
- Yes, but Chuck also
thinks everything's a cover-up.
That's besides the point.
One of these guys went around town
telling everybody that would listen to him
about what they saw, what they experienced,
and the very next day,
that is when he saw the man in black.
So, the men in black
showed up at his front doorstep
suggesting that they
eat breakfast together,
and that's only where the weirdness began
because the men in
black didn't ask this guy,
his name is Harold Dahl,
they didn't ask him anything.
They simply just narrated
everything that he saw
to a t,
and basically said that they mean business
and if he goes around
continuing to tell anybody else his story,
then some very bad things
were going to happen to him.
They threatened him.
And so, obviously, he
stopped talking about it.
He recanted his story,
he said he made it all up,
and conspiracy theorists everywhere
simply say of course he would.
He's so terrified of the men in black
that he had to pull his story.
- So, that's the Maruy island incident?
That's wild!
- Well, yeah,
but it still gets us no closer
to finding out where to start with
finding an actual man in black.
- Agreed, but if this guy
really went around
and was talking about UFOs
and aliens and caused this big stir
for the men in black to step in,
then I think that's
what we have to do, too.
- All right, so what are you suggesting?
- It's the 21st century, Jon.
How does information spread like wildfire
in today's day in age?
We start on the world wide web.
- Well, I mean your plan is
just as good as anybody's.
So, let's do it.
I'll see you in a little bit.
(Phone ringing)
Hello?
(Heavy breathing)
Hello?
- [Graham] Hello, Jonathon.
- [Jon] Who is this?
- [Graham] Quit playing games, kid.
We know that you know where the seam is.
So, tell us, and we won't kill your mom.
- [Mom] Jonathon!
- [Jon] Mom!
- [Graham] Tick, tock, kid.
- [Jon] I don't know, I promise.
This all happened so suddenly!
- [Graham] You'll be
hearing from us very soon,
and Jonathon...
Read anything good lately?
(Mouse scrolling)
- Okay.
So, I'm thinking the best way to
get people's attention in general
is to go to an online forum like this,
where you're allowed
to talk about anything.
The nice thing about this forum is that
you get to pick a U.S. state.
So, for us, that's Washington.
Now, I'm guessing all we have to do
is say new thread
and theoretically
convince people that we saw aliens
right?
- Can't hurt.
- Okay.
So.
I saw a UFO.
I saw something crazy today.
- [Flint] No. - [Jon] What?
- You trying to sound like a tabloid?
Move over, let the pros work their magic.
(Typing)
All right, let's try "UFO spotted
at Maury island 70 years
after the initial incident".
Good?
We have to make it sound legit,
otherwise the men in black
aren't gonna take it seriously.
I have an idea.
(Typing)
Can you think of anything else to add?
- No, not really.
- [Flint] Well, now the hard part.
Waiting for something to happen.
(Thunder crashing)
Hey, Jon!
Wake up, man!
- Wha?
- [Flint] You need to see this!
(Muffled rain pouring)
Crap!
Yo, this is too creepy for me.
The guy's not even trying to
hide the fact that he's creepy.
(Door pounding)
Crap, crap, crap!
(Door pounding)
Oh my god!
(Door pounding)
What do we do?
- I don't know, open the door!
- [Flint] Can I help you?
- The real question is can I help you?
Yesterday evening,
you started an untruthful thread post
stating you witnessed an
unidentified flying object
at Maury island.
This was a lie.
We want to know why.
- What can you tell us
about the secret seam?
We were told that you might know something.
- Be careful what you wish for, Mr. Child.
The secrets of what you seek
aren't for the faint of heart.
- [Flint] Where'd he go?
- [Jon] Maybe he used a neuralyzer.
- [Flint] Not funny.
- You got a scanner?
- [Flint] Not funny, Jonathon.
Not funny.
(Typing)
- Holy crap, dude.
That makes so much sense.
- What does, the tomb of the unknown...
- uh yeah, think about it.
This place is guarded heavily 24/7
for a tomb that doesn't house
any one specific soldier, ya know?
It's more symbolic, really
for soldiers that haven't been identified,
but with that being said,
why have guards for it, then?
Vandals? Okay.
They're definitely guarding something
more than just a symbolic idea,
I'll tell you that much.
- Huh.
I guess I just never thought
about it that way before.
- Jon, whatever you do, keep filming.
You are so close to finding out what
this secret seam might actually be.
I'm rooting for you, man,
but it also means you're gonna have
an even bigger target painted on your back.
I'm sure you knew.
But
the one thing you always
have to keep in mind
is do not forget
about those hunters.
They're always gonna be there,
and trust no one.
- Well, I guess I'm buying
a train ticket to Virginia.
- Alrighty, man.
Good luck.
(Muffled train engine)
(Laughing)
- Where is he?
Where... is... he!?
You all had one fucking job!
Find him and bring him to me now!
Go get him!
Go, go, go!
(Train whistling)
- [Flint] Hell yeah!
Another one down.
Come on,
they seriously have
got to make this harder.
(Phone ringing)
Dude, what in the...
Where are you?
I thought you would have been
halfway to Virginia by now.
- There are hunters everywhere.
I had to jump out of a train.
- Woah, what!
- It's almost like they have a
hive mind or something, because
they are everywhere, man.
They even have dogs.
- Maybe find a cave or something
to hide in until they leave.
- Maybe.
God, I cant do this.
How am I supposed to make it to Virginia
when I can barely only make it to Montana?
- You're in Montana?
- That's not the point, flint!
- All right, just look
for somewhere to hide.
- That's what I've been doing.
Wait a second.
- What is it?
- You are not gonna believe this.
Tell me you see him.
- Oh, bizarre.
Is that the same guy from before also?
- I think so.
Wait.
Where'd he go?
- Dude, follow him!
(Leaves crunching)
- [Jon] Uh, flint?
Are you seeing what I'm seeing?
- This just keeps getting weirder.
- [Jon] What do I do?
- Well, when life gives you lemons...
- [Jon] You make lemonade.
(Sighs) Come on.
Where is this place?
- [Agent] That's not important.
- [Jon] Kind of is.
- What are you doing?
- [Jon] I...
- you were advised not
to continue on this path.
- [Jon] I know, I...
- and you decided
to ignore us.
- [Jon] Yeah.
- [Agent] This will be our final attempt
to request to stop this undertaking
and go back home.
- [Jon] Or what?
All right, well I can't stop.
This is the only way that
I can save my mother.
The only way.
- Very well.
(Wood slamming) (Gasping)
This will take you to
wherever you ask of it.
While you should be
asking it to take you home,
I will not stop you from
asking it anything else.
That is a choice I leave to you.
- [Jon] Another vanishing act, god.
Wherever I ask of it.
(Exhaling)
All right.
The tomb of the unknown soldier.
(Chuckling) No way.
They are never gonna believe this.
(Ringing)
- Jon, hey.
What happened after the door?
- What door?
Hey, Jonathon.
- Sorry, no time, but I do have news.
- How on earth did you get there so fast?
I have to know where that door leads to.
- Okay, can someone tell me what door?
I'm lost!
- So, I have absolutely no idea
how I'm gonna get past these guys.
They never leave.
- I mean, are you really surprised?
If you cross those chains and rails,
they're gonna yell at you,
threaten you with their bayonets.
I mean, they take their job very seriously.
They're good at it.
- But why? It's just a cemetery, isn't it?
- Honestly, that's the
million-dollar question, ain't it?
I mean, if you were asking me,
I'd create a diversion
and then just go for it.
- Okay, and then what?
- Look, if we're right
about this being something
much more than it claims to be,
then I guarantee you these soldiers
can't even follow you into the tomb.
You'll have to get in,
look around for what you want
and do it quick enough
before those soldiers call their superiors,
cause you're gonna be dragged
to federal prison if they get ya.
- I'm sorry, what?
- What do you expect?
They'll shoot you in front of a crowd.
They do not care, trust me,
and once you get into that tomb,
you're gonna be in some pretty big trouble.
(Running)
- [Guard] Remain behind
the chains and rails!
(Heavy stone moving)
(Slamming)
- [Jon] Okay, there doesn't seem to
be any cell reception inside the tomb.
I tried calling the guys to no avail,
but bad news.
There's nothing here.
There's no secret seam, there's no body.
I mean, that second
part's not all that a surprise,
given the fact that Chuck did say that this
was more of a symbolic
thing than an actual tomb,
but it is quiet in here.
I don't know if they lined this
place with lead to kill cell reception
or they lined the place with soundproofing
or what, but
I get the weirdest feeling
that I'm cut off from
the rest of the world.
Now, they did say
that this secret seam
thing is supposed to be
near impossible to spot, so...
I mean, I guess I
should start investigating.
Might as well, right?
Because I'm about to get arrested
for breaking into a national monument.
So, there is that.
God, I'm such an idiot.
There's nothing here.
(Heaving breathing)
I feel so stupid.
That guy from the men in black was right.
He warned me time and time again
not to do this, but I felt as if I had to.
Yeah, yeah, I knew better than
the interdimentional teleporting alien.
Stupid.
No way.
This is impossible.
It's real!
See you on the other side.
(Heavy stones moving)
- [Flint] No way.
No way!
(Mouse scrolling)
(Mumbling)
Ran for the tomb?
(Mumbling)
Hidden entrance.
(Mumbling)
Unable to find him?
Holy shit!
- Hey, flint.
- Hey, so did you read the paper?
- Not yet, I'm sorry,
I'm about to go on air.
What's goin' on?
- It looks like Jonathon was able to do it.
The newspaper shows a picture of him
saying that he broke in, but
when they went in to get him,
poof, not there.
- Oh, wow.
I mean I was rooting for him.
I just didn't think he'd actually do it.
- Yeah, which poses the question
where the hell did he go?
- Well, I mean
I haven't been contacted by him.
- Me, either,
but tell me again
what happens when you touch the seam?
- Yeah, and that's the
million-dollar question.
I mean, everyone seems
to have a different idea on it,
but their ideas range from teleportation,
time travel,
and even disintegration.
- Disentigration?
You mean like... Dead?
- Yeah, I wouldn't read too deep into it.
I mean, a lot of these theories
are just from freaks and geeks
that live in their parents basement
or watch too many episodes
of "the twilight zone".
I mean, none of it has any real proof,
and as far as I'm aware,
no one's ever gotten this far before.
- We're in the dark.
- Yeah, but one thing's for certain.
No matter what,
this ain't over.
Yeah, sorry, I gotta go.
Richard's giving me a look.
- All right.
Break a leg!
Jon?
Oh man, you made it!
Chuck and I have been really worried.
Where the hell have you been?
- Yeah, sorry.
I was at the hospital here.
They had me under a temporary coma.
- You okay?
- I'm fine.
They actually had me
under a John Smith alias
because they couldn't
find identification on me.
- Oh wow.
Why not?
(Chuckling)
- Well, I'm pretty sure
you'll get a kick out of this, but
I was found completely naked in a field.
(Laughing)
- Oh, I'm sorry.
Probably embarrassing.
- It's all good.
Not like I actually remember any of it.
- So, what's the last
thing you do remember?
- Um.
I remember getting into the tomb.
I remember looking at the seam,
and I feel like I walked into it,
but after that, it's a blur,
I don't really remember any of it.
- So, you have amnesia?
- I guess, yeah.
- Did they give you a clean bill of health?
- Yeah, yeah.
They said medically, they
had no reason to hold me.
They gave me a coupon for this place
and the rest is history.
- Yeah, well if hunters weren't bad enough,
you're basically now on
"Americas most wanted"
for breaking into a historic monument
that's been around for nearly a century.
Not to mention
you're still wanted for the
double-homicide of your folks.
- Don't remind me.
- The only thing you actually
have going for you right now
is the fact that people don't expect
you to be halfway on the other side
of the country right now,
but time's running out, man.
Pretty soon, you're gonna have your face
all over national news
where you're not gonna be able to hide
in a comfy hotel.
I kinda hate to rush you,
but we need a plan of action.
- Yeah, yeah.
I'm sorry, flint.
I'm just really tired.
I need to get to sleep.
We'll figure out the next
step in the morning, yeah?
- You're right.
You need your beauty rest.
Sleep tight Princess.
And don't forget to call
me as soon as you're able.
- Okay.
Alright, so status update.
I'm feeling.
Man, I gotta call flint!
- Jon?
Is everything okay?
It's like 2 A.M.
- Oh, I'm feeling more than okay, man!
I mean, last night,
I was not feeling all that great, granted,
but this morning, when I woke up.
Whoo!
I mean, I feel like a new man.
- Okay?
- I feel like I could run a marathon.
You know, I feel like
whatever was in the seam
gave me all this energy,
but what does it all mean?
- It means I need to go back to sleep.
Goodnight, Jo...
Jon?
Where's the weights come from?
- I bought it!
Whoo!
Never felt more energized in my life.
This is crazy!
Okay, can I go back to bed now?
- Fine, as soon as you...
Bless you... As soon as you can, call me
(sneezes)
- Wait. - What's up?
- How'd you know I was gonna sneeze?
- Oh, I don't know.
It just seemed like the right thing to say
at the moment.
- Power of suggestion
I guess.
(Snapping)
- Anyways, I'll let you get back to it.
I know it's in the middle of
the night and everything, but
are you gonna get that?
- Get what? (Phone ringing)
(Ringtone)
- [Chuck] Hello?
I don't know what's
going on with this video.
Jonathon, you're back?
- You can say that again.
- Yeah, I'm back and I'm better than ever.
Ask me something.
- [Chuck] Um... What?
- Ask me something!
- [Chuck] Dude, just spit it
out, I don't have time for this.
- Let's not get too ahead of ourselves,
we don't know exactly what the seam did,
but it definitely changed Jon.
- [Chuck] How?
- Well for one... - I can see the future!
- Okay, so, not exactly the future, per se,
but little things.
So, pick a number, for instance.
- [Chuck] Okay...
- Seven?
Come on man,
get a little more original...
10,677
now we're talking.
- [Chuck] All right, hol...
There's no...
Precognition?
- Yes
and no, that's what's so weird
about the whole thing.
He doesn't know everything.
He just knows some things
some times.
- [Chuck] I mean, this is
weird, but that makes sense.
That's one thing any
modern science fiction film
would naturally get wrong:
Definiting what kind of
limitations there are if and when
you get extra abilities.
Instead, you'll have a
superhero that has a weakness.
Superman has kryptonite,
for instance, but without it,
are we ever really told how
far his laser vision reaches?
It has to stop somewhere, right?
It doesn't just keep
going and going forever.
This is wild.
I mean, I'm starting to sound crazy.
- Hard to wrap your head around, right?
I'm still trying to... - Ask me something!
- [Chuck] I don't even know where to begin.
- Come on, man.
You have all these random trivia facts
just floating around in your head
when you do that show of yours.
So, I need you to have them right now
and test me. (Sighs)
- [Chuck] Okay, okay.
Before it was a hashtag or
a pound key on the phone,
what was that symbol called?
- Octothorpe, next.
- [Chuck] Um...
What's the national animal of Scotland?
- (Chuckling) A unicorn - what!
- [Chuck] It's true.
Did you already know
that, though, Jonathon?
- Not even a little bit.
Keep going.
- [Chuck] In 5-card poker,
what are the odds of getting a royal flush?
- One in 649,740.
- [Chuck] I mean, I don't remember
the exact number right off the bat,
but that does sound right.
Okay, let me ask you something.
What does it feel like?
- The best way that I
can try to describe it
is that it doesn't feel like knowledge.
Instead, it feels a lot
like more like intuition.
It feels like it's just
the right thing to say,
and as it turns out, it often is.
- [Chuck] Damn.
I mean, but you guys he
doesn't get everything right?
- Right, exactly.
So, what I've found
is the bigger the question,
the more unsure I feel
when I answer.
- Yeah, and the theory
is the bigger the question,
the more possibility
that that could change,
but for example, if you were to ask him
about the mathematical odds of a card game
or a national animal.
Yeah, that's unchanging data, facts,
but if you ask him when I was gonna die,
he has no idea!
I could die in 50 years time,
I could die right now.
It depends on a number
of different factors,
but earlier, he actually predicted
I was gonna sneeze,
but I mean
there was a lot of different signs
and he may have taken notice of that.
- [Chuck] Incredible.
(Ringtone)
(Screaming)
- Mom!
- Hello, Jonathon.
I told you we'd be speaking
again soon, didn't I?
Looks like we've been a busy bee lately.
Getting into a wee bit of trouble?
- What do you want?
- Hmm.
Yeah, I'll make it easy for ya.
How about we propose a trade?
You give me what I want,
and I'll give you your mother.
- The seam is at the tomb of the...
(laughing)
- I know where the seam is, child.
Do no pretend
to think you can fool me.
- I don't...
- you don't know what you're dealing with.
You will not stand in
the way of my resolve,
Mr. Child!
- What do I do?
- That's better.
I'm looking for exodus.
You get me that,
and I promise no harm
will come to your mother.
You have 24 hours.
(Ringtone)
- Okay, now what happened?
- The guy that kidnapped my mom,
Graham Seether, said that if we don't
figure out where exodus is in 24 hours,
he'll kill her.
- Did he even tell you what exodus
was supposed to be?
- No, and I couldn't even ask,
because he's clearly deranged.
So, I was hoping that
you'd be able to help me out.
- What does your intuition thing tell you?
- Honestly, not much.
I don't even have much to go off of
other than the general idea
that exodus is code for something.
- Yeah, that doesn't help much.
- Not at all, so can you help me out here?
Because I don't even have a computer.
- Yeah.
Hold on.
(Typing)
Okay, exodus is defined as
a mass departure of people,
especially emigrants.
Some synonyms of this is
evacuation, withdrawal, leaving,
exit and migration.
- [Jon] I figured most of that already.
- Sorry, man.
I don't know what else to do.
- Wait.
We've been going about this the wrong way.
Instead of trying to use my intuition
to try to figure out what exodus
is referring to, or where it is,
I should just be trying to
figure out where my mother is.
Screw exodus!
Flint.
- No way.
You know where she is, don't you?
- And you're not gonna like it.
- What now?
- She's on Maury island.
- You're kiddin' right?
- No, it's some kind of...
I think it's a lighthouse.
- Okay.
- Flint, I can't get to her.
Not in 24 hours.
Not even if I jump in a car right now
and speed all the way to Seattle.
- Oh.
Right.
- Which means...
- Jon, no!
- You're up.
Hey, can you share
your screen for a second?
- I don't know, hold on a minute.
Did that work?
- Yeah, it's just
it's a little bit small on my end.
So, you'll have to work with me
and try to explain what you're seeing.
- I don't know, man.
It just looks like a blueprint.
For me, it looks like
a crosswire section of a lighthouse.
I don't know exactly what
I'm supposed to be looking for.
- Okay, hold on.
All right.
Do you see any ladders on your end?
- [Flint] Yeah, I see stairs going up
and ladders going down, why?
- Because that's our answer.
Where does the ladder lead?
- [Flint] Looks like an
underground room of some sort.
Basement, maybe?
- Maybe, but whatever it is,
my mother's being held in that room.
- Are you sure?
- Yeah, I'm sure,
and right now, I think that theres only
two men keeping an eye on her,
but that might change from now until then.
- Two men.
Okay.
Where can I expect them to be?
- I don't know.
- [Flint] Oh.
- Yet.
I don't know yet.
You're gonna have to call me
when you get to the lighthouse.
- I won't be able to hold up a phone
and film everything, you know?
- I know.
Just call me the old fashioned way.
I'll walk you though the steps
as they come to me.
- I can't believe this is your master plan.
Winging it!
- I have no other option, flint.
- I know.
I get it.
When are we doing this?
- Shouldn't I be asking you that?
- Fine, I'll do it tonight.
Not like I've got anything else going on.
- I appreciate you.
- You better.
You know if I get killed,
I'm gonna come back and haunt you.
- I expect nothing less.
- [Jon] Hello?
- [Flint] I'm here.
- [Jon] Okay.
I have the feeling like
there's a third bogey
that's you're gonna have to deal with.
- [Flint] Fun!
Well, I've got my dad's gun.
How are we doing this, Morpheus?
- [Jon] Very funny.
Well honestly, there's no
need to be stealthy at all.
They'll probably be expecting you.
- [Flint] Okay.
- [Jon] Don't worry about it.
It'll be fine.
Just go through the front door
with your gun aimed to the right.
- [Flint] Why the right?
- [Jon] 'Cause that's where
you're gonna be firing.
- [Flint] All right.
Let's get this over with.
(Footsteps running)
(Gun cocking)
(Guns firing)
(Screaming)
- [Jon] You good?
- [Flint] Not even close, you maniac!
- [Jon] Gotcha.
Well, you see that closet next to you?
- [Flint] Uh-huh.
- [Jon] Get inside and wait five seconds.
(Wooden door creaking)
- [Flint] Okay, I'm there.
- [Jon] In three
two
(guns firing)
(Men screaming)
- [Flint] Holy crap, we're doing it!
- [Jon] Now, the hard one.
- [Flint] Now the hard one?
- [Jon] The third guy is hiding
because he knows his compadres
are all getting gunned down
and doesn't want to be next,
but you can't go get my mom yet
because he'll be waiting for
that exact moment to strike.
- [Flint] Where is he?
- [Jon] Halfway up the stairs,
there's a room with a big door.
That's the living quarters.
He's in there,
right behind the door,
listening to everything
that you're saying right now.
- [Flint] Oh.
Right.
What do I do?
- [Jon] You need to get close enough
to fire everything you have at that door.
- [Flint] Okay.
(Floorboards creaking)
(Guns firing)
(Glass shattering)
- [Flint] You owe me so big.
- [Jon] I knew you could do it.
- [Flint] Yeah, whatever.
You're paying for therapy.
- [Jon] Get downstairs as soon as you can!
(Floorboards creaking)
- [Flint] I see an opening on the floor.
(Metal hinge creaking)
Mrs. C?
(Woman screaming)
- [Jon] Now, flint!
(Wood creaking)
Flint, you there?
Mom?!
- [Flint] Got her.
- [Jon] Oh, thank god.
- [Flint] Jon, there's
something else down here.
- [Jon] What is it?
- [Flint] There's a bunch of Manila folders
on a desk of pictures of people inside,
and it all says deceased.
- [Jon] That's weird.
All right, grab 'em and get out of there.
It's only a matter of time
before Graham or some other
hunter shows up and includes you
in that list of dead people.
- [Flint] You don't have to tell me twice.
- [Jon] And flint?
- [Flint] Yeah?
- [Jon] Make sure my mom
gets somewhere safe.
- [Flint] You know I will.
- [Jon] Call me when you get back home.
- [Flint] Alright, bud.
Talk to you later.
- [Jon] Later.
(Ringtone)
- Everybody safe?
- Yeah, man.
I took your mom to...
- ahh, don't tell me.
We don't know what the
hunters are capable of,
or if they're listening right now.
It's best to keep that a secret right now.
- Smart.
- But as long as she's safe
and you're good, I'm happy.
Seriously, thank you for doing that.
I know it had to have been difficult.
- Difficult doesn't even
begin to define it, man.
- I know.
I know, and I appreciate you so much,
and as soon as I get back...
(Grunting)
- What is it!
(Grunting)
Jon, what is it?
(Grunting)
What is it!
- Do you still have that
remote desktop app installed?
- Dude, what?
- Can I...
Can I just...
Can I log in real quick?
- Okay?
(Typing)
Uh, nice shape, Jon.
- [Jon] It's not just a shape.
- [Flint] What is it?
- [Jon] I don't know.
- Bro, your nose!
- Uh oh.
(Ringtone)
- Are you seeing what I'm
seeing with all these people?
- Yeah, they're all dead.
- They all died of the same thing.
Blood diathesis.
Look that up really quick.
- [Flint] Looks like blood diathesis means
tendency to bruise or bleed
and it can range from mild to severe.
- Well, if they all died
from the same thing,
I'm guessing it's pretty severe.
Plus, all of these people died
apparently two months
after their date of ascension.
Otherwise known as, I'm guessing,
their trip through the secret seam.
Which seals it.
I guess in two months time,
I'm dead, too.
- [Flint] Woah, hold on.
Open Richard Hawkins.
- [Jon] Okay.
- [Flint] He's not dead.
- [Jon] No he's not.
- [Flint] You know who he is?
- [Jon] Not even a little bit.
- [Flint] That's Richard!
Chuck's producer on "the truth beyond".
- [Jon] You're kidding, hold on.
(Ringtone)
- Yo, I was just about to start my show.
What's goin' on?
Hey man, you doin' okay?
- Yeah, I'm fine.
We actually called to talk to Richard.
Is he there?
- Yeah, he's sitting
right here staring at me.
- Hand him the phone.
- Um, alright.
Just a second.
- Can I help you guys?
- Yeah, you can start by telling us
what you know about the secret seam.
(Sighs)
- Look.
I was younger than I am now,
and I was much more impressionable.
When Chuck would do his
episodes on the secret seam,
I would be really invested.
I wanted to find the seam
as much as anyone else did, and hey,
I did.
- But why aren't you dead?
- Jonathon,
did you write the code yet?
- Yeah, how did you know?
- They all wrote the code, and so did I.
The answers that you're looking for
are in that code.
I just... Mm.
I shouldn't tell you this.
- Tell us.
- Just like anything else in the world,
there's more than one way to skin a cat.
Okay?
So, there's a lot more to
that code than you think
or could possibly imagine.
- Like what?
- I'm sorry.
I can't tell you, man.
That's something you're gonna
have to find out for yourself.
But
good luck, Jonathon.
- [Chuck] You knew where the seam was!?
- Holy crap!
(Ringtone)
- You think you're smart, don't you?
Taking the queen?
- My mom's not your...
- no, not your mom, you idiot.
The queen!
The queen from chess?
- Never played.
- You've never?
You know what, nevermind.
It doesn't matter.
This isn't over.
- Pretty sure it is.
- How's your nosebleeds?
Still just from the nose?
- What do you want?
- Same as before.
I want exodus, and
I'm still willing to trade.
- I already have my mom.
What else could you...
- An antidote.
- What?
- I have an antidote.
Trial runs prove that it works
and it could be yours.
Just get me exodus.
- Give me 24 more hours.
- Not a chance.
I saw what you did with 24.
You have two hours.
Take it or leave it.
- Fine.
I'll call you back with a
plan for the exchange.
- Fine.
No funny business.
- I wouldn't dream of it.
- [Flint] Jon, we can't do two hours.
- No, we can't, and
it's less than that now.
We need to figure out what we're doing.
- Okay, well, Richard said that
the key to all of our problems
is in that code thingy you wrote out.
Right? - Yeah.
- Open that up.
- [Flint] Well, what are we waiting for?
Use your intuition.
- Code?
Code within a code.
- Okay.
Well, that's something, at least.
- Fcb/ln2
fcb.
Where have I heard
those three letters before?
- Facebook?
- Yeah, right.
No, flint.
Go back to the flashdrive.
Go to the images folder
and choose the last one.
- Oh yeah!
So, that explains fcb,
but what about the rest?
- [Jon] Google it.
- [Flint] Give me a second.
Dark matter, like black holes?
- No, not exactly.
I feel like dark matter is everywhere.
- [Flint] Yeah, dark matter
is the most mysterious,
non-interacting substance in the universe.
Its gravitational effects are necessary
to explain the rotation of galaxies.
- Right, yeah.
Dark matter is supposed to
have this great gravitational pull.
That's why it's such a
popular theory with black holes.
You can't see it.
No lights coming through, but it is there,
and its sucking everything through.
- Wait, is this saying the
seam itself is a black hole?
- No, I would seriously doubt
the secret seam was created
by a black hole because I was there
and I never felt a
gravitational pull towards it.
I voluntarily walked through.
- All right, this looks
like a job for Chuck.
(Ringtone)
- Gentlemen.
- Got a bit of a mystery for you to solve.
- I mean, don't you always?
I'll put on my thinking cap.
- All right, so apparently,
the secret seam is made from dark matter.
This does make sense
because it's nearly invisible
to the naked eye, but it doesn't make sense
because I never felt a gravitational
force when I was right next to it.
- I get it, but you gotta think.
Something has to be
containing the dark matter.
- Yeah, or something.
- I have an idea.
It's probably a stretch, but hear me out.
- We're all ears.
- Typically, whenever you
have a gravitational pull
of any kind, the only thing
that's gonna cancel it out
is another gravitational
pull from a different direction.
- You mean like two opposing magnets.
- Exactly.
More than likely,
you're looking for another seam.
- Holy crap!
Exodus is another seam.
Thanks, Chuck!
- My pleasure.
Keep me posted.
- Okay, so now that we know
that there's another seam,
what do we do?
- Honestly, I say we learn everything
that we can on the knights of Pythias,
since that was a part of the code, as well.
- [Flint] Okay, the knights of Pythias
was a secret society founded in 1864
in Washington D.C.
(Mouse scrolling)
The fraternal order knights of Pythias
was founded on this site 914 e street N.W.
On February 19, 1864.
Charter granted by
President Lincoln, what!?
- What was that address again?
- 914 e street, N.W.
- And that's in Washington, D.C.?
- [Flint] Doesn't say on
the plaque, but I imagine so.
- Dude.
- What?
- You are not going to believe this.
- What is it?
- Look up that address on Google maps
and tell me it's not a coincidence.
- Okay.
(Typing)
(Mouse scrolling)
The FBI?
- My thoughts exactly.
I just looked it up.
The FBI wasn't even
founded until another 40 years
after the knights of Pythias showed up,
so nowhere on Wikipedia
or their official website
does it say anything
about the FBI, come on.
- What do you think it means?
- I'll tell you a theory I just had.
- Go for it.
- What if the knights of Pythias,
being a secret society,
originally had the
information on both seams,
but for whatever reason
became too dangerous to keep in one place
at the same time.
So, they split up,
and lets say
the original knights of Pythias,
they decided to take the information
of the tomb of the unknown soldier
with them.
That's why we see the insignia
of the knights on the back
of the Cypher, on the
back of the grille, all that.
But what happens over here?
What if, now just hear me out.
What if fcb... Changed to FBI,
and FBI has the information on exodus.
- Certainly plausible.
We've definitely seen
crazier throughout this journey.
- Exactly.
- What do we do now?
- Now?
Now we need to do something about Graham.
- [Jon] Hey, you there?
- [Flint] Yeah.
- [Jon] Okay. (Ringing)
I need you to be quiet while I talk to him.
He can be kind of temperamental. (Ringing)
So, just... (Ringing)
- [Graham] I was beginning to
wonder if you'd have the spine
to call me back.
How's the nose bleeds?
- [Jon] You wanna talk business or what?
- [Graham] You got exodus?
- [Jon] Yeah.
- [Graham] Are you lying to me, boy?
- [Jon] I guess there's
only one way to find out.
(Sighs)
- [Graham] Where do you want to do this?
- [Jon] Meet me at the parking lot
at 2799 Richmond
highway, Arlington, Virginia.
- [Graham] Hey, kid.
- [Jon] What?
- [Graham] Look outside.
(Blinds retracting)
- [Jon] You've been here the whole time?
- [Graham] Why do you
think I wasn't at the lighthouse?
Get down here before I
have to come up there.
- [Jon] Fine, just a moment.
(Phone line ends)
You still there?
- [Flint] Yeah, that guy sounds serious.
Are you really gonna give
him the location to exodus?
- [Jon] No.
I'm gonna give him
what he wanted all along.
The thing that he was
willing to kill my stepfather
and kidnap my mom over.
I'm giving him the flashdrive,
or at least a copy of it.
- [Flint] Do you really
think that's the best idea?
That says nothing about exodus.
- [Jon] Yeah, I know
that, and you know that,
but he doesn't.
Because if he always knew
where the first seam was,
then he must have
believed that my stepfather
had more information on
exodus, which he didn't.
So, he killed him for nothing.
- [Flint] I'm sorry, man.
(Sighs) - [Jon] I gotta go.
- We finally meet face-to-face.
- You know, I recognize your voice now.
I thought I heard it before,
but now I remember.
It was you at my house
that night, wasn't it?
- Ah yes.
I am the one who killed your stepfather,
but to be fair, he kinda deserved it.
After all, he did kill
my right-hand man first.
Now, no more delays.
Exodus.
Hand it over.
- You killed my stepfather
over this piece of plastic.
- And I would do it again.
Meanwhile.
This little thing determines
whether or not you live or die.
- Richard took that antidote, didn't he?
That's why he survived.
- Oh.
You found Mr. Hawkins.
- What did he have
to sacrifice to get that?
- He gave me your stepfather.
- Let's just get this over with.
- Pleasure doing business with you.
- Well, how'd it go?
- It's over.
It's all over.
Can you guys see it?
- Yeah, we see it all right.
- We can finally put all of this behind...
Oh god.
- What now? - Well...
- You're gonna have to
be put on hold for a second.
Graham's calling.
- It's been like two minutes.
- Yeah, I know.
- Yeah?
- You think I wouldn't notice?
You think I wouldn't expect a trick?
- I guess not.
- I told you.
No funny business.
- Can you blame me?
- No matter.
If you leave me with nothing,
I leave you with nothing.
(Shattering)
- What did you do?
- Returning the favor
of stripping you of hope.
- Hey, Graham.
- What is it?
- You're not the only
person with trust issues.
- Oh?
- Yeah, you've been a little bit sloppy
in your pursuit of exodus,
haven't you, Graham?
I've been documenting my entire experience
with this thing from the get-go,
and I have you and your men
trying to kill me everywhere I go.
So, I took that footage
and I sent it to the police
to prove that hunters are real.
- Please.
You think they'll find me?
I operate in the shadows.
Not existing is my business.
Yeah, I figured you might
say something like that.
That's why I included an incredibly basic
and portable executable file
that runs automatically when
you plug it into a computer,
which I knew you would,
and what does that program do?
It tracks your location
and it sends the results
to any recipient that I pick.
Good luck staying in those shadows, Graham.
(Door crashing open)
- [Police] Hands on your head!
- No!
- [Mom] Hello?
- [Jon] Hey, mom.
- [Mom] Jonathon, are you all right?
- Yeah, mom, I'm fine.
Listen, I just wanted to call to
make sure that's you're okay.
Are you okay?
- [Mom] I'm a little shook
up about everything,
but I'm doing better every day.
- [Jon] Yeah.
Yeah, I'm sorry that you
had to go through all that
and I never got to talk
to you about the general.
Hey.
Did I ever tell you my
favorite story of him?
- [Mom] No.
- [Jon] So, I was eight,
and it was a couple
of years after dad died.
The general wanted to
take me out to the woods
to fire a gun for the first time,
or at least watch him hunt.
He figured it was gonna
be this big bonding moment,
and at that age, I thought it was so cool,
but on the way there, I saw
a dog on the side of the road.
It had to have been just hit by a car
and suddenly the prospect of
wanting to kill another animal
died with that dog that we saw.
He wasn't the biggest with his words,
but the general looked at me and he said,
"son, we all die some day.
"The trick is making life worth the fight,
"so that when that day comes,
you leave behind a legacy."
And then he goes on to
tell me that I was his legacy.
Later that day, we got Charlie.
- [Mom] Our dog, Charlie?
- [Jon] Yeah.
Yeah, I shouldn't have fought
so hard all these years claiming
that he wasn't my dad.
I was stupid, stubborn, but I get it now.
He was my dad.
I just...
I wish I could have told him thank you.
- [Mom] He knew.
- [Jon] Mom.
- [Mom] Yes?
- [Jon] I have one last thing
to do before this is all over.
- [Mom] What is it?
- [Jon] I can't tell you.
But if it goes well, we
will see each other soon.
If not, just know that I love you and...
Thank you for being my mom.
- [Mom] Jon...
- [Jon] Bye.
- Alright, I'm here.
Now, if I'm right, this is
where I'm supposed to go,
and I'm leading myself entirely
through intuition at this point,
but I mean, it feels right,
I just don't know what it's all about,
why I just know things I shouldn't know,
but what I do know
is that whatever I have is killing me
and I need to move before a hunter sees me.
So.
So, my intuition's telling
me that this is the right door.
(Locked door)
No, no, no, no.
No, this can't be happening.
This can't be happening.
What the?
(Door unlocking)
(Door shutting)
I can't see anything.
Where's the light switch?
There it is.
God.
So, I don't know what's gonna happen next.
I don't know what this all means, either.
Why I have this intuition
where I just know things
that I'm not supposed to know.
I have no idea what's gonna
happen when I walk through exodus.
I could die.
I could get better.
It could be anything in between.
Jury's out, so anybody
who's watching this right now.
This is just a reminder that
there is more to this world
than you realize.
There is magic, there is
wonder, there is the unexplained.
You know?
The secret seam exists,
but that's not always a good thing.
I'm gonna leave the camera
here rolling as I step into exodus.
If I die, then tell the world.
Use this footage that I've
collected over this experience
and tell them about me, tell
them about the secret seam,
tell them about exodus,
tell them about hunters,
tell them about everything.
People are dying over this thing.
They are disappearing.
Don't let me disappear with them.
- Welcome back.
Have you heard of the secret seam?
Conspiracy theorists call it a
rip in the fabric of space and time.
Now, according to government
officials, it doesn't exist,
but that doesn't explain this footage,
where a man is seen
entering what appears to be
an impossible doorway
before vanishing into thin
air along with the opening.
Not much is known as to
how valid this footage is.
What is known, though, is that
the man in question, Jonathon child,
has been missing for the last two months.
Many people believe him to be dead,
but those among the conspiracy crowd
believe Mr. Child is still out there
and that fact may be stranger than fiction.
Tonight, an anonymous
source sent in this image
of a man that bear some
resemblance to Mr. Child.
Now, experts aren't
available to confirm or deny
that this is Jonathon child,
and the case for his
disappearance remains open.
However, if the man in the
image was not Mr. Child after all,
then who was it?
We'll leave you with this tonight.
Thank you for watching KWOR nightly news.
I'm Shawn Callaway signing off.
Have a good night.
