Beyond

Previously on Beyond...

You have no idea why I called you up here today.

- Shoemacher. - (GLASS SHATTERING)

I keep having visions,

and I don't know what they mean.

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.

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?

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! Go.

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...

Just go, Holden.

- (BANGING CONTINUES) I'm not leaving, okay?

- I'm gonna stay! - Please...

Charlie! I'll stay here all night if I have to.

- Just go. Charlie!

Open the door.

- (BANGING CONTINUES) Hello?

Are you serious?

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) - (GASPING)

Holden!

Holden!

Dude.

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?

Right this way, sir.

Please have a seat.

I'm just going to be placing this on your head.

Relax.

And look into the lights.

You, uh, come here often?

And remember the Beast was given a mouth

to utter proud words and blasphemies and to exercise...

So, you've been having these nightmares?

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!

That's buried deep.

Maybe it's attached to something buried even deeper.

Treasure.

See?

We need shovels.

Luke! Come on, we need shovels!

- Come on! - (SIGHS)

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.

You want the legs or the head?

- (MACHINERY WHINING) - Oh.

- (SPARKS) - (GASPS)

Rats!

All right.

- Ah. - (GLASS CLINKS)
