Beyond (2017) s02e05 Episode Script

1 Previously on Beyond RICHARD: You have no idea why I called you up here today.
- Shoemacher.
- (GLASS SHATTERING) (RICHARD SCREAMING) (GRUNTING) HOLDEN: I keep having visions, and I don't know what they mean.
(SPEAKING IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE) (SPEAKING IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE) (SQUELCHING) Hey, taxi! Fort Reed, Kansas.
You'll never guess who I saw yesterday.
Charlie? What do you want? What do I want? I My mom said you were in Fort Reed.
Yep.
The lovely Dew Drop Inn.
You weren't gonna tell me? Nope.
Oh! Wait a sec.
(DOOR CLOSES) (TRAFFIC NOISE) Keys to your truck.
It's in the parking lot.
I washed it a few days ago, but it's dirty again.
- You had my truck? - Who did you think had it? I'm a little busy, so I'll see you later.
Whoa! Hey, Charlie.
What is up with you? Look, I didn't know what happened to you after the cabin.
I didn't know if you were alive or dead.
I'm not dead.
Clearly, I'm fine.
What are you doing in Fort Reed? Why were you buying a gun? RANDY: What's goin' on out there? Who's this? You want me to take care of him for you? "Take care of me"? Who are you? You know what? You need to go.
You need to go.
What? Like, leave? - Now? - Leave.
Go back to whatever trailer park or mechanical bull is expecting you.
- Whoa.
Hey! - CHARLIE: Go.
RANDY: I'll call you! - Who was that? - That was Randy.
He's local.
Look, Holden, it's really sweet you looked me up and all, and hey, our little road trip was fun.
I mean, before the shooting started, I had a legit good time with you, Holden.
Yeah, and I had a great time with you too, but But it was a giant mistake to look you up in the first place.
And if you haven't realized that already, you will.
- (KNOCKING) - Charlie, wait! I (KNOCKING) (WHISPERS) Just go, Holden.
- (BANGING CONTINUES) - HOLDEN: I'm not leaving, okay? - I'm gonna stay! - Please HOLDEN: Charlie! I'll stay here all night if I have to.
- just go.
- HOLDEN: Charlie! (EMPHATICALLY) Open the door.
- (BANGING CONTINUES) - HOLDEN: Hello? (BANGING) Are you serious? ARTHUR: Fixing the machine is the only way to keep the Realm safe.
Safe from what? Frost didn't make it out with me and Holden.
It's not just about your father.
There will always be others who wish to corrupt it.
It corrupted me.
I made so many mistakes.
I lied to you.
You had your reasons.
I lied to others.
I lied to myself.
The Realm's power over me I wasn't strong enough to resist it.
I never wanted that for you.
Maybe it's time we put the Realm aside and tried living in the real world.
I wish it were that easy.
(THUDDING) - (THUDDING) - (GASPING) (DOOR OPENS) (WHISPERS) Holden! Holden! Dude.
(LEAVES RUSTLE) (GRUNTS, GROANS) KEN: Gotta say I'm a little nervous.
My paperwork's all in order, no? Your assets have been transferred to Hollow Sky.
Thank you for your extremely generous donation.
That's what the Brave New World looks like, huh? I've dreamt of this day.
Seeing my Lara again.
Yeah, I-I don't even know what I'm gonna say to her.
I wrote a few things down, but I-I don't know The paper won't make the trip anyway.
The body remains.
Only your consciousness is transported to the Bridge.
Besides you already know what to say to her.
It's all right here.
Shall we? (DOOR WHOOSHES) TECH: Right this way, sir.
Please have a seat.
(DOOR WHOOSHES) I'm just going to be placing this on your head.
Relax.
And look into the lights.
(MACHINERY WHIRS) (GASPING) (GROANS) You, uh, come here often? And remember the Beast was given a mouth to utter proud words and blasphemies and to exercise (TIRE BLOWS OUT) (RUMBLING) (RADIO CONTINUES) LUKE: So, you've been having these nightmares? HOLDEN: Ever since I came out of the coma.
I always wind up in the woods near where I crashed my bike.
These visions or whatever they've been getting worse ever since we were at Hollow Sky with Frost.
When you went into the Matrix? Just feeling I broke something when I was in there.
Broke something? Like what? That's what I'm trying to find out.
So, um what's with the compass? Jack Sparrow have a yard sale? The compass is connected to the Realm.
It used to just spin around.
I though it was busted, but after Hollow Sky it just started pointing one direction.
I don't know.
Maybe it's like a weird magnetic thing.
Because, like, compasses work off the Earth's magnetic field.
- I know how magnets work, Luke.
- So maybe it's like buried treasure.
It's not treasure, all right? My nightmares are trying to tell me something.
I wait.
Wait a minute.
Okay.
Well, what's Willa's take? I don't know.
She says it's guilt or paranoia or guilt about being paranoid.
You know, all she wanted me to do was remember, and now she wants to act like it's over and done with.
I don't know.
She's going through a lot, dude.
Finding out that psycho's her dad, and then thinking her mom's stuck in that place, like She told you that? Yeah, no, or you did.
I don't know.
So where you're standing, that's where the compass is telling you to go? Uh, yeah.
I guess so.
Well, one, do you feel more, like, powers-y? - Ow.
- Hey.
Okay, great.
Luke, you don't have to do anything.
Okay? I don't need your help.
I want to help.
I'm out here at dawn, aren't I? Okay, Luke.
Okay, great.
Well, you, uh you let me know when you've cracked the case.
Holden? Look! Whoa! Wait.
Wait a minute.
Is that a - Is that a rope? - Yeah! (GRUNTS) That's buried deep.
Maybe it's attached to something buried even deeper.
Treasure.
(LAUGHING) See? We need shovels.
Luke! Come on, we need shovels! - Come on! - (SIGHS) Oh well, she started to rock like a tornado A-whirlin' around like the winds blow She's a tornado Whoo! A tornado Well, I got something on Shoemacher.
Richard invites me over to the house.
Thought you and Rich were friends.
More than friends, Ramon.
He was my mentor.
If it wasn't for Richard, I'd be dead or in jail.
I have purpose in my life because of Richard.
It was a case of me or him.
For a second there, I thought it was gonna be me.
And yet, here I stand.
(CLATTERS) You want the legs or the head? - (MACHINERY WHINING) - Oh.
- (SPARKS) - (GASPS) Rats! (SIGHS) (OBJECTS CLATTERING) All right.
- Ah.
- (GLASS CLINKS) - (ARTHUR MUTTERING) - (DOG BARKING) Willa? (MUTTERING) (MUTTERING CONTINUES) (SIGHS) (POPS) Willa? (GUNFIRE) Was, uh, Dad pretty upset when you quit? He was disappointed.
You and him working together I haven't seen him that excited since, like, ever.
You know, or maybe coaching your Little League.
(LAUGHS) He loved Little League.
Yeah, he used to yell at all the umps and the coaches.
- On his own team.
- Yeah.
(CHUCKLES) Yeah, I remember how totally gutted he was when you quit that.
- This is different.
- You crushed him.
I just wish I could tell him the truth.
- Which you can't.
- I know! I hate lying to him.
Like I hated lying to you.
All I'm saying, man, is you got these powers.
Might as well use 'em.
Use them? I'm headed into the woods to dig up a buried rope because of my nightmares and some stupid compass.
We're headed into the woods.
Technically, there's two of us.
Not that you'd ever return the favor.
What's that supposed to mean? You obviously didn't notice the little souvenir I got from helping out Riley.
Whoa, wait.
The guy who stole Riley's pills punched you? What did you think happened? That I ran into a wall sleepwalking? I told you to stay away from Riley.
I asked for your help.
You didn't want to help, - so I dealt with it.
- You call that dealing with it? I'm just saying that you could've used your powers to scare him.
But apparently, that's just for cheating at pool and destroying Dad's workplace.
I'm not a circus animal! They're not magic tricks! How do you even know what they are when all you do is whine about them? I'm not whining about them! I just can't control them, or know when they're gonna kick in, or who's gonna get hurt - because of them.
- Whining.
(SIGHS) (SHOVEL SCRAPING) LUKE: So who do you think buried it? HOLDEN: Huh? Somebody had to bury the rope.
It's not like it just sprung up from the Realm.
Wait.
Is the Realm down there? Yeah.
And the rope is connected to China.
(SHOVEL SCRAPES) (CROW CAWS) (SHOVEL SCRAPING) (GRUNTING) (GRUNTS) Looks good to me, boss.
(PANTING) When it comes to burying a body, how deep should the hole be? Oh, it's six feet, no? That's right, and this hole, you reckon, is six feet deep? Want to get back inside for me? Should I, uh lay down? No, standing's good.
How tall are you, Ramon? Between 5'5, 5'9 depending on the shoes.
So the hole seems good? Pretty much.
Hey, you wanna go deeper, we can go deeper, no problem.
Shame it had to come to this.
We prepared for a future without Frost.
But she's corrupted his ideals.
(GRUNTING) It's like she was waiting for him to be gone to turn it into an afterlife ATM.
She tried to have you killed.
What are you gonna do? Well, the way I see it, I can run or put a bullet in her head.
I'm not gonna run.
(KNOCKING ON DOOR) Yes? Can I help you? Good morning.
Is that your automobile? The Cutlass? Well, yeah.
My car's not operable.
Could I call a tow truck? Is it a long distance call? No.
I don't think so.
Perhaps I could have a glass of water as well? I suppose so.
Oh, I have a "No shoes in the house" rule if you don't mind.
Don't mind at all.
You think if Mom and Ian broke up, she wants to get back together with Dad? Dude, this isn't "The Parent Trap.
" They were arguing the whole time you were asleep.
How bad did it get? Bad.
Dad kinda checked out and Mom found Jesus and then found Ian.
No, but I'd rather them be happy, even if it's not with each other.
God, that's corny.
(GROANS) (GRUNTING) Did you just drink all the water, dude? I was the one that brought the thermos.
I I thought we were sharing.
Yeah, well, you slobbering over the spout, I let that go, but you didn't have to drink all the water.
(THERMOS THUDS) - HOLDEN: Sorry.
- LUKE: Move.
(METAL CLANGS) What's that? It's a freezer.
How do you how do you know that? Because I've seen this before.
HOLDEN: I've seen this freezer.
You mean, in your nightmares? And my waking freak-outs.
Hold up, what do you mean "waking freak-outs"? Yeah, at work, my computer started bleeding and my desk became this freezer.
So, right, you've been seeing this stuff in, like, your normal, every day life? There's nothing normal about this.
Okay, hold okay, just just just hold up, hold up, hold up.
Holden, Holden, Holden! Let's just take a beat.
Okay? Now maybe there's just a a logical explanation for all this.
What kind of logical explanation, Luke? I don't know.
You've been trying to figure out what this all means, but now you seem like I don't know, disappointed that we found something.
Don't you get it? It means I'm not crazy! Okay, dude, I'm seriously confused.
Like do you want to be crazy or not crazy? Luke, this isn't a joke, okay? Something bad is going to happen.
- How do you know that? - Because I've seen it! I had a nightmare.
And your face was covered in these maggots.
Okay, and the house caught on fire with you, Mom, and Dad inside of it.
You've been having visions of us dying? Okay, it wasn't just the house.
It was like the whole world was on fire because of what I did.
(STAMMERING) Hey, hey.
Dude, it's not your fault.
No, you don't know that, okay? This is why I wanted a normal life! But now, I the job is gone, whatever I had with Willa is screwed up, and my own brother wants me to use my super powers - to help him get laid by a girl - Wait.
- who screwed him over twice! - Whoa, whoa.
Whoa.
Hey, I'm I'm not the one at fault here either.
I didn't bury this freezer.
I know, but you wanted me to follow the superhero path.
Well, that path doesn't lead to fighting bad guys and saving people.
It leads to a freezer in the woods, and I don't know what any of it means.
Only it means that I'm not crazy, - and that's what's even more crazy.
- Holden.
Holden, it's okay.
Cause I don't know any of it! Holden, it's okay! We can figure this out.
How are we gonna figure this out, Luke? Are you gonna fix it a cappuccino? (PANTING) You know what? I came out here to help you, - because I care.
- No, Luke, it that's not what I meant.
No, I'm hearing you loud and clear, man.
I gotta be at work.
Cappuccinos to make.
Luke, come on.
I didn't mean it.
Mmm.
It's apple butter.
My nephew buys it at the Amish store.
- It's delicious.
- Mm.
Could I borrow your vehicle? My Cutlass? No.
I use it to go into town once a week, and to Doris Hoover's for bridge on Tuesdays.
(CLOCK TICKING) So you say you're on the way to Fort Reed? Yes.
To visit Holden Matthews.
What's so special about this Holden Matthews fella? Everything is special about Holden.
(TICKING STOPS) Holden stands in the way of destiny.
You mean to do that boy harm, don't you? He opened a portal to another world.
I come from that world.
I was born of fire and darkness.
I'm the first of many who will walk upon this Earth.
When we're done, nothing you know will remain.
I'm not afraid of death, young man.
Those awaiting Fields of Elysium won't escape what's coming.
This world, the world I came from, the hereafter you speak of, it'll all be engulfed in flames.
We will destroy everything.
And then we'll rebuild per our design.
Now about those car keys.
(ENGINE WHIRRING) (INDISTINCT CHATTER) Here.
It's a Cafe Americano.
I know you don't take it black, so I added a touch of almond milk.
Okay.
Blech! God! It's so terrible.
I think the almond milk actually makes it worse.
Well, good thing I brought your usual.
- Yay! - I will find a coffee drink you like.
Mark my words.
Is that a black eye? Yeah, you noticed.
What? You got into a fight? Yeah, you should see the other dude's fist.
I was helping out a friend.
Long story short, Riley lied to me, and I got stupidly involved, and now I owe this Jay guy, like, $2,000.
Wait.
You owe Jay $2,000? Riley's debt is now my debt.
Yadda, yadda, yadda.
That doesn't seem fair.
So, um what's with the spirals? Something on your mind? - No.
- Hmm.
You know, my Religion 101 teacher said that spirals represent the journey of life.
You know, they remind us of where we've been, and where we want to go.
Wow.
That, um that's really deep.
- Super deep.
- (WILLA LAUGHS) And it sort of, uh, totally makes sense.
I think.
Um, it's Arthur.
I thought he was getting better, and then I get this frantic phone call.
He thinks somebody broke into the house.
"Thinks somebody broke into the house"? He's been confused.
Called me Celeste, my mother, last night.
And, um, not for the first time.
I'm sorry.
That must be hard.
(WRY LAUGH) Speak of the devil.
I gotta go deal with the thing and the And the money, Lebowski.
I'm sorry.
- (DOOR OPENS) - (DOOR BELL CHIMES) (CAR DOOR CLOSES) - (CAR DOOR CLOSES) - (ENGINE REVS) (GRUNTING) JEFF: Here.
Attach the grapple to the chains.
Maybe dig out a little incline.
Then we should be able to pull it out, no problem.
Okay.
Great.
No, not "okay, great.
" I don't get why this icebox is in the ground.
I've been having these visions And nightmares.
Yeah, I got that.
I think it's connected to something I did in the Realm when I went in there to save Willa.
Every time you mention The Realm, my brain scrambles.
Think this is Hollow Sky or Possibly.
Whatever it is, I need to figure it out before people get hurt.
What do you mean, "people get hurt"? That's what I saw.
Terrible things happened or will happen.
I hope I'm wrong.
I saw you flip a car and stop a hail of bullets.
Can't you lift this icebox out of the ground with your mind and save us some trouble? Man, maybe I am a circus animal.
And besides, I've tried.
Repeatedly.
(SHOVEL SCRAPING) (GRUNTING) Hey, what's that? - What's what? - Right by your foot.
Right there, man.
"Property of Edgar L.
Abbot.
" Who's Edgar L.
Abbot? I don't know.
Maybe he'll have a key for this padlock.
We could try and pick it.
- Yeah.
- I might have something in the truck.
(WHOOSH) (WIND ROARING) (PANTING) (STRAINS) (EXCLAIMS) (GRUNTING) (WHOOSH) (TRICKLING) (ECHOING) Hello? (SHRIEKING) (GASPING) Whoa! Are you okay? - What happened? - You grabbed the padlock and you wouldn't let go.
(HOLDEN SHUDDERING) Where the hell were you, Matthews? I saw the Realm, I think, but What the hell's inside this freezer? Whatever it is I'm pretty sure we don't want any part of it.
- IAN: Evening, Diane.
- (GASPS) God, Ian.
You startled me.
Lucky for me, you don't carry pepper spray.
(CHUCKLES) So, I, uh, had a Hollow Sky deal in Wichita.
It is growing like wildfire.
Any luck in, um, getting me a tour of Hollow Sky headquarters? Working on it.
Oh, and speaking of, well, Helping Hands, anyway, you will not believe who crashed our church basement meeting night before last.
Jeff McArdle.
Jeff McArdle? Yeah.
He was with Christine.
Maybe his intentions are pure, but after the incident in my office I'll talk to Jeff and and see where his head's at.
Ah, it's okay.
If he's there for Christine, who am I to question his motives? Not to impose, but I wouldn't say no to a cup of coffee or two.
It's too late for coffee, and Holden should be home soon, so.
Ian, I know we're still trying to figure out us.
Maybe we should get away for a weekend and then we can really connect.
Sure.
We always talked about going to the Hot Springs.
Yes, yes! So, we'll set a date.
How's this weekend? This weekend is, um - yes, okay.
- Great.
Well, I look forward to it.
(KISS) Goodnight, Diane.
Goodnight.
(SCOFFS) If this is where you say something clever before you kill me, you can skip to the latter.
Though if you insist, maybe "The shoe is on the other foot.
" Sit.
I did come to kill you, and you deserve it.
One good turn.
I shouldn't have called you a janitor.
Oh, you didn't mean that as a compliment? (SIGHS) Richard's dead.
That's on you.
Plus, there's the file folder I got from your safe.
Plus, there's the cancer that's eating you.
You're slipping, Tess.
Pull the trigger.
Your bullet, my cancer.
What's the difference? Cancer might not kill you.
Doctors say 43% chance of survival.
It's not zero.
Plan was, you walk in the room, I shoot, you're dead.
Trust me.
You don't want those odds.
But then I found this on your desk.
Driving to Richard's house, knowing he might kill me, I wasn't scared.
I was angry.
He tried to rob me of watching my daughter grow up.
Whatever beef we have, your child doesn't deserve that.
You have a wife.
You'll have a kid soon.
Your life belongs to them.
Okay.
Where does that leave us? The future of Hollow Sky's too important to stand idly by.
And last we met, you offered me a say in the decision-making.
I know you didn't mean it at the time, but times have changed.
You wanna trade your gun for a suit and a tie, - and a 401K? - No.
I'll gladly continue doing Hollow Sky's dirty work, but from now on, it'll be on my terms.
And what are those terms? Frost left big shoes to fill.
Maybe you need help filling them.
I mean financial terms.
It's not about money.
Never has been.
I can make that deal.
If we're going to be partners, there's something you should see.
Right to the bridge Come on, they won't catch me Disappear with the cash in my lap seat (SONG CONTINUES ON RADIO, MUFFLED) You're Jay? The kid ain't mine, yo.
I heard you have some outstanding business with Luke Matthews.
And what's it to you Leather Barbie? (GRUNTS) - Put your hands in the air - (GROANING) - (JAY GRUNTING IN PAIN) - (MUSIC CONTINUES) (MOTORCYCLE ENGINES RUMBLING) Whatever you think Luke owes you, that debt's erased.
Understand? JAY: Okay.
(COUGHS) (KNOCKING) - Hey! I come bearing scones.
- Oh.
I notice you had a proclivity for blueberry.
They were just gonna throw 'em out.
Well, thanks.
And you're right.
I do have a proclivity for, um, blueberries.
I mean So you know that guy I was mentioning earlier? What guy? That guy with whom I had the predatory business transaction? Oh, um, yeah.
Jay? Why? (PHONE BEEPS) "Forget it, bro.
We square.
" So it worked itself out? Maybe Riley did the right thing.
Yeah, I can guarantee that is not the case.
(TEA KETTLE WHISTLING) Uh, yeah, anyway.
Enjoy the scones.
Do you want a cup of tea? Uh, I'm not really a tea guy.
Not a tea guy? I'm gonna find a tea you like.
Mark my words.
(LAUGHS SOFTLY) - Charlie, what are you - Shh.
YELLOW JACKET: Is he dead? No.
Mr.
Sheldrake is in a state of suspended animation.
As you can see, we monitor his brain activity.
Basically, the blood stops flowing through the body.
Just enough to keep the vital organs working, till at which future point, we can revive him.
You put him in a coma? Cryogenic sleep is more accurate.
But when he went under, he thought he was going to the Afterlife? You lied to him.
We don't even know the Realm exists.
Frost knows! Knew.
- He saw it.
- He thought he knew.
- It's an unproven hypothesis.
- He believed.
Hollow Sky was built on those beliefs.
Frost was selling something he couldn't deliver.
And now all of Hollow Sky faithful want to follow him into the great beyond.
Then we have to fix the technology.
We have to manage the situation.
Right now, that means finding a bigger place to put all the bodies.
(HISSES) Welcome to management.
