Beyond (2016–2018): Season 1, Episode 10 - Into the Light - full transcript

Previously on Beyond...

You swear on the sacred
holy covenant of brotherhood?

I swear on the holy sacred
covenant of brotherhood.

I connected to this machine.

I can feel it.

No!

No! Stop! Stop it!

I had you!

And then you were gone.

You're not making any sense.
What we had was real.

It's just complicated.



Let me know
when you UN-complicate it.

Ow! Mm!

- At last.
- Isaac Frost.

I could hardly wait to meet you.

Cool logo.
Is that your company?

Congregations
need somewhere to congregate.

Don't make a move until I figure out
just what the hell we're walking into.

Whatever it is you're going
through, we go through it together.

It's a lot to explain.

Right now, we need
to get Willa and get out.

You want to reach
the Ocean of Light?

Let Holden go,
and I'll take you.

I saw the most beautiful light.

There was a bridge.



26 years ago, I lost the
only woman I ever loved.

She's in there, waiting for me
on the other side of the bridge.

What greater motivation
than love?

Are we ready?

Let's go.

Don't give up in there.

I'm coming, just stay strong.

There's no reason to be nervous.

There's every reason
to be nervous.

This machine is untested.

Our entire foundation
is built upon him

being able to cross this bridge.

What if he can't?
What if something happens?

I'll be fine.

And Hollow Sky?

Our investors
are getting anxious.

Everyone who has walked
through those gates

did so because they believed.

I need you to believe too.

By the end of today,

we'll have an answer
to life's greatest mystery.

Tomorrow, we share it
with the world.

Prometheus shared fire
with the world...

and a bird ate his liver
for all of eternity.

When they write the book detailing
our achievement here today,

maybe don't mention that.

She gave you that, didn't she?

Belonged to her mother

before Willa was even born.

How do you know that?

Because she's my daughter.

So you see, I've got just
as much at stake as you do.

You and Arthur,

you don't care who you hurt.

I actually care about Willa.

This is a pretty
significant moment, so...

I hope you'll understand
if my precautions

lean a bit towards the severe...

What precautions?

Well...

let's say for argument's sake,
we get into this Realm

and you decide you'd rather not
lead me to the Ocean of Lights.

You can be quite destructive
when you want to be.

Our vitals... yours, Willa's,
and of course mine...

Will be monitored at all times

to ensure you don't overreact.

Your brother

is a very welcome
insurance policy,

if God forbid something should to happen
to me once we set out on our journey.

Let's get this over with.

What happened?

Where are we?

You dropped us into the middle
of the tundra.

Amazing!

Where's Willa?

I don't know!
The machine was programmed

to send us to the furthest point
in the Realm.

She should be here.

I've never seen
anything like this.

You sent your own daughter
into uncharted territory!

You opened the door
and shoved her through

with no idea
what's on the other side.

You're not a scientist,
you're a sociopath!

What we're doing here is greater
than me, you, or Willa.

- It's progress.
- I don't care about progress!

But you do care about her!

And you care about your brother.

Two very good reasons
to stay on task.

So, let's go!

You know where you're going?

Ah! 'Kay,
just don't even think about it.

The more you think about it,
the worse it's gonna be.

Just close your eyes.

Count to three.

And stick the lightening rod into the
scary thing with the electricity.

It's no big deal.

It's no big deal.

It's no big deal.

Okay.

It's just...

Just like Benjamin Franklin.

It's just gonna be a small,
small little shock.

That's all it's gonna be, just a
tiny, completely unnoticeable...

Son of a bitch!

Oh! Um...

Got a fire alarm on the second floor.
Checking it out.

Uh... um...

Uh... pfft.

Uh... Okay.

Phew! Uh! Mm!

Uh...

Uh...

We are already up and running.

It's a complete systems test.

Dr. Frost wanted to personally
oversee it before you...

When can I see it?

Well, that's dependent
on the next several hours.

No, Ms. Shoemacher,
it's Hollow Sky

who is dependent on us with our
more than generous contributions.

Yes, and believe me,
we're very grateful.

I expect that will change
when we pull your funding.

If it's results you're after,

we'll have them very soon.

End of business day,
or we pull the plug on Frost

and sell his life's work
piece by piece.

You?

Hello, Luke.

Just can't seem to help
running into one another.

The coffee shop.

Wasn't just a coincidence,
was it?

Yeah, go to hell.

I think you're forgetting
that you're our prisoner, Luke.

Yeah? Yeah,
what are you gonna do?

Stab me with your heels.

Oh, no.
I don't do violence.

That's what the men
with guns are for.

- Kudos on the escape attempt, though.
- I...

My question to you still stands.

You're a smart kid.

I really think
you have a lot of potential.

Whatever it is you're selling,
I'm not interested.

Then what are you interested in?

I want you
to take me to my brother.

Follow me.

Hey.

Why'd you tell me
those things about Ian?

Wanna come in?

Okay.

The other night, you accused
Ian and Hollow Sk...

Tom, what are you...

What are you trying to prove?

I'm not trying
to prove anything.

I'm trying to protect you,
the boys.

Have you heard from Holden?

He called yesterday.

He said he'd be back
later on this afternoon.

I'll support you.

Okay?

If you think that Ian
and this Hollow Sky

could be dangerous, I will
go with you to the police,

stand next to you
while you tell them everything.

But that's as far as we go.

Incredible.

What is this place?

We're in a temple.

They're safe havens.

Ah!

Willa, stop! Wait!

Ah!

Holden, what are you doing here?

What's he doing here?

You know full well
what he's capable of.

Only he can
take us across the bridge

and only he can bring us back.

You're a snake!
I should kill you.

- You can't!
- Just watch me!

They have my brother!

They have Luke.

If anything happens to Frost...

That's right.
Like it or not...

we're in this together.

Shall we?

What are you doing to him?

What the hell is that thing?

Hollow Sky's
crowning achievement.

A machine that induces
a coma-like state allowing...

Induces?

Wait, you put him
back into a coma?

I know. Must be painful for you
to see him like this again.

You have no idea.

No. You have no idea.

You don't know the first thing
about your own brother.

The things he's capable of.

Yeah, well, why is everyone treating him
like he's... he's some kind of "chosen one."

Because he is.

At least, that's what
people will believe.

Oh, my god.

You're all crazy!

I'm not crazy.
I'm a realist.

We created a product
to help the world feel better.

Supply-side economics,
and we're the supplier.

People will line up
all over the planet

to get their taste.

So that's all this is?

What? You sell the world
a story and you get rich

by exploiting
people's pain and loss?

I may not believe in heaven...

but I do believe in money.

What were you thinking,
coming back here?

I was thinking of you.

I was trying to protect you.

I thought you'd understand.

Well, you're giving me
way too much credit.

So it would seem.

What's that supposed to mean?

Well, for starters,
you destroyed the machine.

Then you disappeared for days
only to wind up getting captured.

I thought I could appeal to him.

Why, because he's your father?

When were you
gonna tell me that?

I wasn't.

I guess it doesn't matter now.
We're here. We need a plan.

We give him what he wants.

We give up?
That's your plan?

No, not Frost. Arthur.

From the very beginning,

Arthur's been trying to prevent
humankind from reaching too far.

All of the training
has been for this.

To ensure life
and death remain separate.

But if he crosses that bridge...

He won't!

And why not?

Because I'm gonna destroy it.

Sheriff, we know

that this may be a long shot.

It's more than that, Diane.

We wouldn't be here
if we thought this was some

harmless charity nut
paying their taxes.

This is about
the safety of our family.

You know the attention
Holden's been getting,

and we've all been under a
microscope for the past few weeks.

I know, it hasn't been easy.

No, Sheriff, you don't know.

And you won't until you start
taking us more seriously.

Our son's friend was murdered.

Now, I... I'm not saying
that this, uh...

Hollow Sky was directly
responsible,

but there's gotta
be a connection, right?

And there...

There's gotta be something
that we're not seeing.

I wish I could help.

But with no evidence
of intimidation, no harassment,

it's gonna be tough
to build a case.

We're not looking
to build a case.

We're just trying
to protect our son.

And why would they
be after Holden?

I don't know.

If you want this
to be taken seriously,

you have to give us
something more

than a handful of conspiracy
theories courtesy of Jeff McArdle.

Pastor Ian.

He and I have been spending time
together outside of church.

This morning, when I asked
him about Hollow Sky,

I saw something in him
I... I didn't recognize.

Something that scared me.

And do we have concrete evidence
of misconduct? I don't know.

But I do know how I felt.

I'm not making you promises.

I'll see what I can do.

All right.

"How wonderful that we've met
with a paradox.

Now we have a hope
for progress."

You said that to me once,
and it's always stuck with me.

Those aren't my words.

They belong to Niels Bohr.

I discovered that later.

This machine...
is your legacy.

But with all due respect,
you were wrong.

Your mistake was your reliance on
others to make this machine work.

But they can't do
what you can do.

Not Frost, not Willa.

Hell, not even Holden.

Fix this.

Claim your immortality.

We're here.

The deepest part of the realm.

The Ocean of Light.

The edge of human existence.

Wait.

Where's the bridge?

There's no bridge!

This can't be the place.

Celeste, she was...

She was on the bridge.

She said she'd wait for us
on the other side.

We've gotta get across.

You have to get me across.

Across to where?

Look, there's nothing
on the other side.

There is! There has to be!

We just can't see it yet.

You!

You can reveal it to us.

You were meant
to show us the way.

I don't know how.

Yes, you do.

You know what to do.

And now, I need you to do it.

Your brother needs you to do it.

Beyond that light...

Celeste is waiting for me.

She's waiting for us.

Take us into the light...

or your loved ones join mine
in the hereafter.

You can do it.

Can I help you?

There's nothing you can do.

Wh... what's happening to him?

Oh! Hey, pull the plug!

Please, help him wake up.

Only Holden can do that now.

It's killing him!

Death is just the beginning.

Holden! Holden!

Are you okay?

- Are you okay?
- Yeah.

Yeah.

May God show mercy
to the righteous.

Look. You did it.

Who is that?

He was right.

I can't believe it.

Mom.

All this time...

I knew we'd be together again.

Wait!

- Mom.
- Willa, don't.

It's not her.

It's not your mother.

Why isn't he backing off?

He's seeing
what he wants to see.

It's blinding him to reality.

Celeste.

This isn't reality.

No.

Now what?

Blow up the bridge.

Do it. Do it,
it's our only hope.

Holden!

Don't!

Hey.

No!

I can't.

What?

Why?

Because...
Because I've seen this.

When I blow up the bridge...

you die.

What do you mean?

I had you in my hands...

and I lost you.

I thought it was a memory,
but it wasn't.

It just didn't happen yet.

- Holden, we're running
out of time.

I watched you fall.

We can't let
those things cross over.

I can't lose you.

This is what you meant to do.

I believe in you.

I'm not letting you go.

I won't let go.

Pull the plug!

Holden?

Come on, Holden, wake up.

Come on.
Come on, Holden, wake up.

Holden.

You have to come back.

Please?

For me.

So you have to come back.

We've got so much more
ahead of us.

What happened?

Hey. We should
probably get out of here.

Come on, let's go.

Send security
down here immediately.

Jeff.

Nice and slow.

Jeff McArdle?

Tess Shoemacher.

You murdered my brother.

Jeff. Jeff!

We gotta go.

Where's your car?

What, you didn't bring you car?

Yeah, Matthews, the valet's
bringing it around right now.

No, I didn't bring my car.

You and Switchblade Sally
ditched it at the front gate.

God, I love that car.

So how are we
getting out of here?

Don't worry, I improvised.

Four suspects,
three male, one female.

They're in
a black utility vehicle.

Secure the perimeter, no one in
or out until they're caught.

I repeat...

- Are we close?
- We're closer than we were ten seconds ago.

There's only two roads that will
take you off of this property.

And you're sure
we're on the right one?

They seem to think so.

All right, hold on to something.
I'll try and take us off-road.

No!

Keep going.

Keep going?
We're doing 60.

Trust me.

Didn't you get your license,
like, yesterday?

Jeff!

Oh!

Guess that really is lucky.

That compass didn't save us.

It belonged to your mother.

Frost told me before we went in.

You should have it.

You keep it.

So I know it's always safe.

I don't know
how I can go back in there.

After everything
that's happened, I...

dunno if I can keep
lying to them.

You have to.

We have to lie
to keep them safe.

I know, it's hard.

But it's the only way.

You won't be alone.

You won't ever be alone.

See you soon.

I owe you big.

Thank you.

You don't have to
thank me, Matthews.

- I just do what...
- The universe tells me.

I know.

So...

I've got some questions.

I'm not sure how much
Willa's told you

or what you think
you saw back there.

Just know,
I'm still your brother.

Still me, that hasn't changed.

Are you kidding me?

Everything's changed.

Before we go in and pretend
like everything's normal...

there is one thing I
really do need to know.

Are we safe?

I don't... know.

But...

I'm gonna do everything
I can to make sure.

Me too.

I swear.

By the holy sacred
covenant of brotherhood.

Get out of here.

Oh, man.

So, you know what
you're gonna say?

Just like we talked about?

Okay, you may be able
to flip cars in the air,

but... lying to Mom and Dad?

That's my superpower.

Hello? We're home.

- Well, it's about time.
- Where were you?

I was about to send out
a search party.

What the hell happened?

Well, we were coming home
and the two front tires blew.

The whole truck spun off
the road and into this ravine.

Ravine? And I had to drive out
like, 100 miles to pick him up.

Except I missed the exit.

Help. Help me.

Help me.

Holden. Help me.

Charlie Singer?

You got a sec?

Still rocking that jacket?

All you need now is a big
yellow hat and a monkey.

So, how is Anabelle?

Gotta be what? Fourteen.

She's fifteen.

And she's an ungrateful,
hormonal brat.

Fifteen's a tough age.

You were no different.

What do you want?

Well, you ran away before I
could say a proper goodbye.

Yeah, you shot at me.

And?

How is the boy wonder?
Is he still breathing?

That's sort of why I'm here.

I... want to help you.

And him.

Unless that's a prescription
for some groovy painkillers...

Arthur's location.

Hm-mm!

I need something from you first.

What happened?

You did this.

What did you think would happen
when you blew that bridge?

This world was
the first to change.

Yours will be the next.

You have to fix this.

How?
