The River

There's magic out there.

Beloved television host Emmet Cole has been reported missing.

We can find his ship. We can find him.

The network will pay,

but they want every moment on camera.

I am not leaving this close to finding your father.

Lincoln. What?

Wake up. I can't sleep.

Could you sing it for me, Lincoln?

The final voyage of the "Magus."

Yeah, it's a good title.

Oh, I will, uh, I will get home. I will get to work,

and I will cut together, what, eight episodes?

I'll give everyone their happy ending.

And I will move past what needs ignoring.

And I will make this expedition

look every bit the adventure it was...

Or maybe a bit more.

You know, I'm just...

I'm... I'm glad he's alive.

I'm glad to see them back together again.

Just like you always were?

Yeah. No. I mean, well, it's different now, you know?

After this, how could we be the same... any of us?

Why did I stay? I think...

I wanted to see if they'd actually find him, and...

I forgive him.

He hung me out to dry, but in a weird way,

if he hadn't, we'd both be dead.

Doc saved my life a long time ago.

Of course we came after him.

Would you do it again?

Would you come here for him?

We are back where our G.P.S. can read us again.

We go up river to the entrance to the Boiuna

back where we began,

then everyone goes home.

Home.

So, uh, you gonna take some time? Family? Friends?

Friend.

Might. Why?

Well, it's just, uh, when you, when you were in that tunnel,

you mentioned someone. Um...

David, was it?

He's someone I owe an apology to, okay?

You're gay?

Why didn't you say something?

'Cause we're not friends,

plus it hasn't exactly come up out here, has it?

I don't go clubbing when I'm running away from ghosts.

I would like to have sex. Yeah, not even picky.

Just... the sex, please.

When I was little, I always used to have Lincoln sing to me.

"Row, row, row your boat" till I fell asleep.

It's funny. I had the song backwards.

I always thought that it meant that life back home was real

and life on the boat was a dream,

but... the time on the boat on the stream, on the river...

that was real life.

Then I grew up.

Only thing left to do...

We got Emmet Cole back.

It's time to get some (bleep) answers.

Okay.

Why did you come to the Amazon?

I came because I thought I was supposed to find something,

but that's over now.

How the hell did you survive that place, huh...

the things we saw you do? The magic?

What are you now? Are you a (bleep) dragonfly?

I should have died.

A hundred times over I should have died.

I mean, I don't know.

Maybe a little piece of me did every time.

Only part of me left is the husband and the father.

It was a mistake to come here.

People... who tried to help me got hurt, and...

People died because of me.

I have a lot of making up to do.

That's all I have to say.

Hey.

You know, I'm... I'm not gonna find the words

to make this right.

Your father... he followed me out here.

He trusted me.

I failed him.

I trusted you, too.

I did everything that you asked,

and I believed in what you were doing out here,

and I need to know what my role in this is.

I mean, this mark on me...

It means something, doesn't it?

It's a birthmark.

It's... I thought you were meant for something special.

I did. I-I thought I was, too.

But what... but what if you were right?

I mean, what we've seen out here is... it's incredible.

They're... yeah, there are signs of the impossible

everywhere in this place, but now I know

they are signs to get out.

The Boiuna does not want us here. I'm sorry.

No. No.

You don't get to just be sorry.

I mean, my dad is dead because of you.

I know that you're looking for more than just magic out here.

What is it? Tell me.

What is the source?

It's better you hate me.

No map.

And no real direction. No radio.

And then you found him.

- We all did. - No, it was you.

You know, of all the things we saw out here,

you just might be the most astonishing.

Emmet's back, and I'm never letting him go again.

When he left...

I made a mistake.

Ugh!

Ugh!

Lena's pretty pissed.

Yeah. That's... that's not gonna change soon.

Thank you, son. I'm...

You came for me when you had a lot of reason not to.

Well, mom had to do some convincing.

Yeah, you know, uh, maybe when we get back,

I mean, I could... I could come to Chicago, you know?

I could spend time, visit, you know, and maybe...

I don't... I don't... you could have the house.

For the holidays, we could do a Christmas...

- Dad, dad, take it easy. - A Christmas thing.

Look, if we're gonna be friends, we'll get there.

But right now let's just get home, okay?

Yeah, I just... I just want you to know that...

You know, even when we fought and, um, or weren't speaking

or when you said you were never gonna

- set foot on the "Magus" again... - That didn't work out too well.

Well, no, I kinda... yeah, I won that one.

I just... I just mean...

Since you were 9 years old, you've been your own man,

and I'm...

I've been proud of that.

Back when I was 9, you wouldn't have said something like that

unless the cameras were back up and rolling first.

Got it on tape... "Good wrap-up moment, Linc.

Nice work."

I guess, uh...

The tapes from this expedition are going in the fire.

Nobody's ever gonna know what happened here.

Dad, watch out.

No, no, no! No!

Hey! Hey!

What happened?

Oh, my God!

What happened?!

Get in there! Come on! Get the gauze on out!

No, Lincoln!

- Oh, stop, stop, stop. - Please, please!

- He's gone. He's gone. - What?

He's gone.

No, no, no, no, no, no. Lincoln! No, no, no!

No, Lincoln!

Emmet, no, please. No!

No!

No!

We're not leaving until somebody confesses.

Who did this?!

Somebody... must have seen something that...

Emilio, please?

Look, the cameras are out.

We can't even go back and check the tapes.

Well, it wasn't me. I was filming.

- My alibi is in HD. - It could be anyone here.

Or you.

What?

Why would Clark wanna shoot me?

Yeah. Of course I wouldn't.

But it's not like we're wanting for motive around here.

You left him hanging in a tree.

Whoa. Hey. Look, that was my own fault, Emmet.

- I don't blame you. - You left her father to die.

I would never. You're my family.

Look, the only one trained to take the shot here is Kurt,

isn't it?

I wouldn't have missed.

That's not a denial.

I didn't shoot anyone. I'm here to protect you.

Really? I've got a tape downstairs that says otherwise.

You called someone,

and you told them that if Emmet found the source...

You'd put him down.

You knew this? Why didn't...

Is this true?

Is it true?

No.

If I wanted any of you dead...

You would be dead. Trust me.

Whoever did this,

whoever killed my son...

You will be found out,

and I swear to God, you will suffer.
