Beyond (2016–2018): Season 1, Episode 2 - Tempus Fugit - full transcript

Holden attempts to forget about his encounter with Willa, but waking nightmares derail his attempts to seem average. When he learns Kevin is missing, he worries for his safety.

Previously on Beyond...

Don't you ever feel like we're
a part of something bigger?

- Oh, no.
- The cops?

- Worse. My brother Jeff.
- Assface.

You're dead.

Ah!

Your son was unconscious
for 12 years.

You're in a hospital, son.
But you're okay. You're safe.

- You're in a lot of trouble.
- What are you talking about?

- They're going to be coming for you.
- I know who you are.

I know what you can do.



Holden, get in the car!

- Who are you?
- It's me, Willa.

I can't take you home. That's the
first place they'll look for you.

I don't want any of this!

Those past 12 years,
I watched you learn

to do the things you can do.

No more holding back.

This is just a scratch
on the surface.

Beneath that surface
is something dangerous

if you don't learn
to control it.

You don't have any more time.

You have to go now.

Feels like I just got here.

They know who you are.



They know
what you're going to do.

Here.

For luck.

I'll see you where the light
shines the brightest.

Run!

- That must be him now.
- Holden?

Honey?

Holden.
I'm Sheriff Dayton.

This is Deputy Lee.

You mind if we ask you
some questions?

You're the police?

Why don't you get dressed and...

we'll talk.

Is that necessary?

You wouldn't ask if you
could see my handwriting.

Am I in trouble?

- No, of course not.
- Fifth Amendment, dude.

Don't have to answer
anything you don't want to.

I'll be quiet.

You don't have to answer.

But we're just hoping
you can help us

fill in some blanks.

Okay.

Okay.

Now can you confirm
where you were last night?

Um...

We were at a bar.

- I don't really remember the name.
- You were at a bar?

You said "we."

- That's you and...?
- Kevin.

I don't know
how much time we have

- or what they plan to do.
- They?

Is... is this about Kevin?
Is he okay?

We haven't been able
to reach him for questioning.

What does that mean?

- Where is he?
- What... what the hell is this all about?

Holden, what happened
outside the bar?

In the parking lot?

The bartender.

He saw you exit the bar,
followed by Kevin.

Kev...

- He then heard
several gunshots.

We have over a dozen
shell casings at the scene.

- Okay, stop the tape.
- Tom, just let them do their job.

Their job is to protect Holden,
not level accusations, Diane.

- There was gunfire. No one is
accusing your son of anything.

I'm not who you think I am!

They grabbed him.

- Who did?
- They started hitting him.

Why didn't you say anything?

Did you see their faces?

I know who you are.

No, it... it was too dark.

Do you remember
anything physical?

Height, hair color? Clothing?

More importantly,
I know what you can do.

No, I... it was too dark.

What happened next?

How did you get away?

Holden, how did you get away?

Holden, get in the car!

All right, we're done here.

That's enough.
We're done.

Okay, well,
thanks again for your time.

- If we have any follow-ups...
- Phone call will be sufficient, Sheriff.

Okay.

Thank you.
Have a good day.

Don't worry.

"Don't worry"? Were you even
listening in there?

He's safe, all right?

Whether he is safe,
he doesn't feel safe.

Diane, let it go.

Did all that really happen
outside the... the bar?

What, you think I made it up?

Maybe.

Truth is I don't know you
well enough to know

if that's something
you'd make up.

But for what it's worth,
you know, I'd avoid any lie

that causes Dad
to go into cardiac arrest.

And I know technically
I'm still your kid brother,

but, you know, technically
I've been doing this

- longer than you have.
- This?

Yeah, you know... life,

existing out in the world.

So if you ever need anything...

Yeah.

I need a ride.

I don't usually rent
month-to-month.

One year minimum.

I can pay cash.

You're not from here.

No.

So what brings you here?

A boy.

So why did you want
to come back here again?

Maybe if I knew
what we were looking for,

I could, like, you know,
help speed up the process.

I missed 12 years.
You can't give me 10 minutes?

Look, don't get me wrong, man.

Bar parking lot at noon on a
Saturday is not without its thrills.

You gotta be kidding.

Seriously, there's a trash
can, like, six feet away,

but God forbid
you have to behave

like a functioning member
of society.

Whoa, whoa, come on, man.
Get off my truck.

Holden?

What, you see something?

Nothing.

Let's go home.

You okay?

I'm fine.

Rough night.

Is that real?

You bet.

You a cop?

Sure.

Then where's your badge?

I'm undercover.

Would you like to hold it?

Here.

Jake, honey, come here.
Honey?

So you do this every Sunday?

For the past few years, yeah.

Man, Mom took to church
like a duck to holy water.

And Dad?

Dad believes in two things...

Air conditioning and
sleeping in on the weekends.

He sees church as an affront
to his "core convictions."

Wait, so Dad's not coming?

I'm sure if you asked him...

This is... I have no idea
what I'm doing.

- I can't...
- Here, here.

I got it.
Pop a squat.

- Thanks.
- Come on.

Hey, you know,
it's not so terrible...

Church.

You know, it makes Mom happy.

And I kind of think
she likes being around others

who don't have a clue
what it all means...

but, you know,
aren't afraid to ask.

- There you go.
- Hey.

- That's pretty good.
- Boom. Yeah.

So what's in it for you?

You know, going to church?

I go for the scenery.

I like the scenery too.

Hey. Who is that?
He looks familiar.

Yeah, he should.

That's Kevin's brother.

The psycho that put you
in a coma?

Jeff.

The subject of rebirth,
of resurrection,

appears again and again
throughout the Bible.

But what is it
about the restoration of life

that makes it such a prominent
and poignant theme?

We are tremendously thrilled
and grateful

to have with us today
someone who's experienced

a rebirth of sorts...
A miracle.

Holden Matthews.

Holden has been granted
his second chance,

along with his mother, Diane,

his brother, Luke.

Their patience, their
ardent belief in our Lord

has not gone unrecognized.

But the question remains...

Ahem.

But the question remains,

even with the gift
of a second chance...

When the hell
did you buy a phone?

Just... just turn it off.

The answer to that

is found within your heart.

- Sorry. No matter
where you come from,

- where you are or where
you're going... Sorry.

If the Lord lives within you...

Remember, Holden.

You have to remember.

You have to remember.

Leave me alone!

It's okay, Holden.
Come back and sit down.

Come on.

You okay?
It's gonna be okay.

- Hey.
- Hey.

- You're home early.
- Yeah.

I... I don't know if church
is really my thing.

I don't know
if anyone's gonna blame you.

Well, except, you know...

Right.

You got a second?

There's something
I want to show you.

What? No.

Oh! Does it work?

Well, not yet.

Couple of replacement parts,

some man hours. If anybody can
fix it, it's you, Holden.

You saved all this?

Of course I did.
I cannot count the many times

I had to pull you away from that
thing just to get you to eat.

That bike...
Hell, this whole garage...

This was your church.

You're a lot like me, son. We're
nuts-and-bolts kind of guys.

We see something that needs
to be fixed, we fix it.

Right? We don't sit around and pray
that it's going to fix itself.

That's... that's crazy.

Hey, Dad?

You and Mom...

You guys are okay, right?

We're through the worst of it.

That's all the matters, right?

Yeah.

All right, well, come on.

Give me a hand.

Come on.

You have ID?

Where's your car?

Missus forgot
to get it serviced.

It's not the first time.

Mind if we move this along?
I've got an appointment.

With Frost.

Of course.

We'll have a car escort you
up to the main house.

Over the archway,
across the light.

Deny the side of darkness
into the light.

Think that'll do it.

Okay.

Start her up.

See how we did.

Your mom would kill me
if I didn't say, "Be careful,"

so be careful.

Are you crazy?

Hey!

Get away from me!

What the hell's wrong with you?

- Get in!
- Kevin?

Why can't we talk in the truck?

- They could be listening.
- Who?

Who is listening?
We're in the middle of nowhere.

Keep your voice down.

Not until you tell me
what's going on.

Damn it, Holden, shut up!

No! You need to tell me
what's going on!

- What are you?
- What?

Kevin, I'm your friend.

No, you... you were a
vegetable for 12 years.

And now look at you.

People don't just wake up from a
coma and walk out of the hospital.

Kevin, you need to calm down.

No, I know what I saw!
I know what I saw.

They were right about you,
about what you could do.

And now
they won't leave me alone

until they have you.
I never asked for any of this.

Neither did I!

I didn't ask to live
half my life unconscious

in a hospital bed.

I didn't ask to do
whatever the hell it was

you saw me do the other night.

I certainly didn't ask to
be driven miles out of town

by some ninja girl
from The Matrix

who claimed we lived a life
together while I was in a coma.

The only thing I asked for

was help...

Help from my best friend

who shared beers with me
right up there, man.

I just want things
to be like they were.

I still want that.

Well, it's too late
for that now.

Then I'm sorry.

I'm sorry I woke up
and ruined your life.

You're back less than a week

and Mom's already
got you doing chores?

No wonder you're the favorite.

Maybe it has something to do

with you sneaking out
after Mom and Dad are asleep.

Yeah, I'm in college, man.
You're sneaking.

- I'm not sneaking, I...
- I get it.

Mom runs this place
like Guantanamo.

A little rebellion now and
then could be good for you.

Then you must be
a pinnacle of health.

Yeah.

You should come with me.

This girl Julia's
having a few friends over.

You know, it's nothing major.

- I... I don't think so.
- You sure, Holden?

Maybe a little bit of practice
being around other people

wouldn't be the worst thing.

Come on, dude.

You got a shirt I can borrow?

A few friends?

Okay, so I underestimated
a little.

Welcome down the rabbit hole.

Just try and keep up.

Okay.

Start with this.

You're going to want to avoid
any reds, blues, or clears.

There's gonna be punch
floating around.

It's essentially Kool-Aid
with turpentine, so...

- Guess who?
- Ooh.

Sorry. Holden, uh...

uh, this is my... Riley...

Girlfriend, sorry.

- Um, Riley, this is my brother...
- Brother?

Yeah, I know. You're all
this town's talking about.

So, do you remember anything
from your coma?

Could you, like, hear people speaking
to you while you were unconscious?

I saw a kid on YouTube that could
hear everything going on around him.

This is a party, so could
we not talk about comas?

Why are you drinking beer?

It's a neutral color?

Come on, I'm taking you
where we got the good stuff.

It's cool.
I'll catch up with you.

- I promise.
- Okay. Let's go, superstar.

I'm meeting with Frost.

- No, you're not.
- I think there's been a mistake.

No, no mistake.

You had a meeting with Frost.

Now you have a meeting with me.

- Sorry to waste your time.
- Please take your seat.

You've got my number where
Frost can reach me directly.

Sit down!

What the hell were you thinking?

You had orders to be discreet.

Discretion is how this
organization continues to operate

with minimal
outside interference.

What you did... that was
the opposite of discreet.

Frost instructed me
to find something out...

And yet that moronic show and
tell wasn't the worst of it.

Your blunt-force tactics have likely
spooked Holden, not that I blame him.

He'll involve law enforcement...
If he hasn't already...

And photos of you in that hideous...
mustard jacket

will be posted on every bus bench
from Fort Reed to Fort Worth.

You're being reassigned.

You don't have
the authority to do that.

Our cause is too important.
Holden is too important.

His cooperation is crucial.

And by alienating him,
you've jeopardized

the life's work of a great man.

I gave him proof!

Frost wanted to see what the
kid can do and now we know.

You don't get a gold sticker

for a job half done.

You can go now.

Holden!

If it's too strong,
I can add more lemonade.

Hi, I'm Jamie.

Holden.

Yeah, I... I know.

You see?
Everybody knows.

Luke told us
not to say anything,

but I feel like it's wrong
not to say anything. Right?

Like when someone dies,

you don't just ignore
the fact that they're dead.

You acknowledge the fact
that they've lived.

- I didn't die. I'm still...
- Obviously you didn't die,

but just 'cause you're not dead
doesn't mean you were alive.

Ignore her. She gets hammered and
then suddenly she's Aristotle.

Uh, the philosopher.

Yeah, don't forget scientist.

You know, a lot of people
don't know this,

but his model of the universe

is actually what paved
the way for Copernicus,

who, as most people do know, said
the earth revolved around the sun,

not the other way around.

I was really big into science.

No kidding.

Well, I'm really big into
keeping this party a party.

So let's skip study hall for now

and let's start having some fun.

All right, bitches,
around the world.

- Here we go.
- All right.

- Yeah!
- Woo!

- Woo!
- Good job, Riley.

Oh yeah!

You don't look like you were
in a coma for 12 years.

You look like a quarterback.

The miracles of modern medicine.

Some miracle.

I...
I really don't do this.

I mean, make out with guys
I hardly know.

I thought everyone knows me.

Valid point.

I've wanted this for so long.

What?
What's the matter?

I... nothing.
Um...

Oh, we don't have to...

No. No, I... I want to.

Um, I gotta... where...
Where's the bathroom?

There's... sorry,
I'll be right back.

Holden?

Don't resist.

They're coming for you, Holden.

Whoa.

Where am I?

Hey!

Hello?

- Hurry up, man!
- I gotta take a leak!

Dude, did you fall in or what?

- Hey.
- Hey!

Where's Holden?

What?

My brother? I thought
you were watching him.

- Come on, man!
- Let's do this!

Woo!

- Hey!
- Oh!

Right over there!

- Oh yeah!
- I love you!

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

Man! What's going on?

Holden!

Holden? Holden!

Holden!

Holden. Holden.

Holden, come on.
Wake up.

Wake up, come on.

- It's okay.
- Luke.

Come on,
we gotta get out of here.

Okay, you gotta stand up.
I'll help you.

I got you.

I... I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.

I didn't mean to.
I didn't mean to.

What?

Hey. Hey, come on.
We gotta get out of here.

Let's go.

- Daddy! Daddy!
- He-he-he-hey!

Easy there, butterfly. You're
getting too strong for me.

You know
what might have happened?

I think you got bit
by some radioactive spiders.

- No.
- Yeah, 'cause that's a spider bite.

That's another spider bite.
There's another spider bite.

- Lots of spider bites.
- Hey, I didn't hear you come in.

- Hi.
- Hi.

- Pancakes are almost ready.
- I'm starved.

Did you get taller
while I was gone?

- No!
- I think you did.

- No.
- No, I measured you before I left.

You are definitely taller.
I have a tall girl!

Oh, right there.

The door was unlocked.

Spent an entire weekend
installing that double cylinder,

but if you
don't actually lock it...

Did you talk to your supervisor?

Wasn't that the whole reason
you made the trip?

He got called away, last minute.

Called away?
He invited you down.

Did he at least apologize
and reschedule?

He's the owner, Mel. He
didn't actually speak to me.

- His assistant relayed the message.
- Great.

Maybe you can ask his
assistant for that promotion.

You need to be more aggressive.

Emily starts
at Westover in the fall.

That plus mortgage payments...

I mean, maybe it's...
I don't know...

Maybe you need
to try something new.

A sales job that doesn't require
that you travel so much.

Hello?

Uh, just a moment.

It's for you.
Mr. Frost?

Yes, hello.

No, no, it's quite all right.

Absolutely.
I understand.

No, no, thank you.

Ah, he is risen.
Before noon, no less.

You want me
to make you something?

No thanks.
I'm not really hungry.

You sleep okay?

Yeah, fine.
Just, uh, weird dreams.

Well, try and eat.
You'll feel better.

Hey, Luke, you didn't happen
to know anyone

involved in that house fire,
did you?

House fire?

Yeah, it happened right off-campus.
Just awful.

I guess there was a party
and it got out of hand.

Whole house went up in minutes.

Three kids were taken
to the hospital.

It's a miracle
nobody was killed.

Yeah, that's crazy.

Hi.

Hi.

Can I come in?

Of course.

You live here?

I... I just mean,
you know,

there's a lot of, uh,
empty space.

I am still moving in.

The other night,

you, uh, said we lived
a life together.

Yeah.

Where?
