The Following (2013–2015): Season 2, Episode 15 - Forgive - full transcript
The stand-off at the church continues. As Ryan is disabling some of the bombs he gets an unexpected call from Luke demanding that he and Joe come to him and Mark or Claire will die. With help from Mike and Max, he and Joe get out of the church. The twins are waiting for them and are soon playing their sick game of revealing truths about those present. Not everyone survives the bloodbath that follows.
- Is mother really dead?
- Yes, Luke.
Then they're gonna pay.
"Diner lights flashing
pink on your skin."
What'd she say?
Claire.
If Claire is alive,
she will be at The Inn
in Ware County.
Welcome to Korban, Preston.
It's time for you to pay for
the sins of your father.
Where's my son?
Tanner's at
The Blessed Saints Cathedral.
You know what to do?
I am Joe Carroll,
and I shall be leading
your service now.
Mike and I got it
before they locked it down.
Tell Clarke no moves.
They wired the place.
It's over, Claire.
Unh!
Ok. This-- this is
the twist I didn't see coming.
Good evening, everyone.
Joe Carroll's broadcasting
live over the internet.
Kill or be killed?
The Lord is forgiveness.
I love you, Preston.
Dad! No!
Oh, no, please!
You should reveal yourselves,
or people are going to
start to die,
and we'll begin
with the preacher's son!
3, 2, 1--
Don't hurt him, don't hurt him!
Ryan Hardy can't be far behind.
I'd like nothing more
than for you to witness
your friend's death.
Mikey is gonna die, Ryan!
In 3, 2, 1!
No! No!
I'm sorry.
I was just so tired
of his crying.
I couldn't hear myself think.
Kill him, Ryan!
Just kill him!
Yes. Come on, Ryan.
Come on. Kill me!
Then you can have Claire
all to yourself.
Yeah. I know
she's alive.
I heard the poem,
and if you're here...
is she up at The Inn
all on her lonesome?
Oh, ho ho!
Have you spoken to her
today, Ryan?
Is she safe?
Hello?
So glad to hear from you, Ryan.
It's Luke.
Where's Claire?
Oh, good news.
She's here.
Apparently Joe sent Emma
and some guy to meet her,
but we intervened.
If you hurt her--
Save your breath.
I can guess the next part.
Here's what you need to do.
I want you to bring
Joe Carroll to me alive.
You do that, and you get
a living Claire in return.
Your time is up, Ryan!
What will it be?
I can't do it, Luke.
It's impossible.
You're the big, bad Ryan Hardy.
You can do anything.
Claire's counting on it.
Because if you don't,
I'm gonna cut off her face
and wear it for Halloween.
Someone needs to find him.
They're looking.
Just kill him already.
She's right, Joe.
Just do it.
Let me talk to Claire.
Bring me Joe Carroll.
Does he have to be alive?
Yes, Ryan. Alive.
Do not kill him.
You'll receive a text.
It will tell you
exactly what to do.
You and Joe, no one else,
or Claire dies, horribly.
Damn it to hell.
Will somebody please
find Ryan bloody Hardy?
All right. We got to
get in there.
The doors are rigged to blow.
We're cutting through the back wall.
We need more time.
The pastor and his son are dead.
There is no more time.
Let's find another way
into this church!
Ryan, where are you?
Joe has Mike.
Something's happening.
I need your help.
Can you pull up the city
plans on this church?
Ok. All right.
I'm on it.
What are you doing, Ryan?
I can get HRT access,
but you got to do
exactly what I say.
City plans are on
their way to you now.
What's next?
What happened to you, Mikey?
You look different.
What happened
to your boyish charm?
I get under your skin?
Because I think you're
looking more like a kind of
mini Ryan.
Ok. Ryan's disabling
the tripwires
on the south and west
entrances.
Get your teams in place.
He's gonna need you to kill
the lights, all right,
but it's crucial you wait
for his signal
before sending them in.
Do it.
Stage at south
and west entrances.
Wait for my signal to engage.
_
Lethal force is approved.
Move into position.
Wait for my signal.
Charlie Team in position.
Alpha Team in position.
I am bored of this!
Ryan, I am going
to kill him now!
Joe!
You don't need to do that.
I'm right here.
Finally.
It's ok.
Let him through.
No sudden moves, Ryan.
One false move,
and your little buddy dies.
What the hell
are you doing, Ryan?
Tell me Tactical is in place.
All set.
You get ready to
kill those lights.
Show's over.
What the hell just happened?
Why can't I hear them?
All we have is
the security feed.
I'll try and boost it.
It's ok.
She's ok.
You shouldn't have
done that, Ryan.
Lily's twins have Claire.
They're gonna kill her
if I don't take you to them.
You're lying.
We got 10 seconds
before HRT takes the church.
You will die, but I can
get you out of here,
and we can save her,
but you got to
drop that gun now.
They're talking.
Jane, I need to hear
what they're saying.
That's as clean
as I can get it.
What kind of trick are
you playing here?
I sent Emma to get Claire.
Well, that didn't work.
The twins have her.
Time's up, Joe.
Put down the gun now.
Tell your people to back off.
I know a way out of here,
but you got to cooperate.
That's it.
That's the signal.
Cut the power!
Move in, move in!
This way.
City plans show
an exit to a restaurant.
Is this how you planned
on getting out?
Maybe. Shouldn't I have
a disguise or something?
There's your disguise.
God!
FBI! Coming
through! Hey!
This man is wounded.
Behind us are two of
Joe Carroll's men.
There's an exit to the church
through the restaurant.
Check it out. Go!
I got you a car,
I disabled the GPS.
You won't be tracked.
Are you sure about this?
I'm not sure about anything.
Ok. Give me your phone.
Here's a disposable.
I programmed
the number in there.
We'll be using one, too.
Get in.
Give me your cuffs.
Hostages are secure.
All right.
Turn on the lights.
This is the FBI!
Please stay calm.
We will take you out of here
as soon as possible.
Please stay where you are.
Where's Ryan?
Where's Weston?
Where's Joe Carroll?
Clarke is figuring this out now.
You have to go.
Is this strictly
necessary, Ryan?
Absolutely.
Luke texted me the address.
It's on my phone.
We'll follow you as soon
as we can get out of here
without being spotted.
I love you.
I love you.
Let's go.
I suppose the radio is
out of the question, is it?
You could at least talk to me.
It's rather lonely back here.
How'd you survive
8 years on death row,
confined to a cell
with no audience,
no one to sing or dance for?
Yeah, it was hideous,
pure hell.
Granted, a prison cell
is a great motivator,
but I've already escaped twice.
I'm not entirely convinced
I've got a third one in me.
Your legacy ends today.
All I ever wanted was
for my name to live forever.
I think I've probably...
accomplished that.
I want you to know
something, that--
uh, that when I die,
I hope that you and Claire
can find a way to be happy.
Is that what you want, Joe?
I've come round to it actually.
I do understand
why she loved you.
Inverted morals aside,
you and I are very much cut
from the same cloth.
We're basically
the same person.
I disabled the GPS.
The FBI won't be able to track us.
Ryan should be out
of the city by now.
We'll have to clear
the checkpoints,
but we shouldn't be
that far behind.
Hey. Are you ok?
Are you sure
you're up for this?
Yeah.
Because you almost died.
I'm ok.
We should get moving.
Clarke's gonna be
looking for us.
Who lives here?
We do.
Sometimes.
Mother gave it to us so
we had a playground.
We've been coming
here for years.
It came with the 300 acres
that surrounds it.
It's hidden in her shell corps
under so many aliases
nobody even knows
that mom owns it.
FYI, there's nowhere to run.
We'll just find you, hurt you,
so you should probably
just rest up.
Uh, rest up
for-- for what?
Oh, we're having
a family dinner.
So much to do.
I'll put the heat on,
you watch her.
So how's this gonna work?
You just gonna turn me
over to the twins
and then they're gonna kill me?
If they don't,
I'll be standing nearby.
I sincerely hope, Ryan,
that-- that my death
brings you the salvation
you yearn for.
Wherever I may be,
I'll be rooting for you.
Thanks, Joe.
I'm kind of looking
forward to it.
Ugh. I was beginning to wonder
whether you were gonna pitch up.
I followed you.
I had to wait until you
got off the main roads.
Well, next time
you come to my rescue,
perhaps you could avoid
nearly bloody killing me!
Damn that hurts!
Give me your gun.
You know, Tim,
you really ought to think twice
before rescuing me.
Come on, old friend.
Come on.
It's not quite over yet.
There we are.
Come on, big fella.
Agh. Damn it.
30 miles from Layton,
and Jupiter Place
isn't on the map.
We'll find it.
Why aren't you answering
your phone, Ryan?
Don't worry. Ryan's
gonna be all right.
Just a little
ostentatious, isn't it?
"You are cordially
invited to dinner.
Please come in."
How very charming.
Oh, come on, Ryan.
I thought we discussed
this last night.
You're not gonna shoot me.
If you did, what's gonna
become of our Claire?
Give me your gun.
There is no way I'm
walking into that house
empty-handed.
I saved your life.
I'd like to think I've
earned a degree of trust.
There.
After you.

Well.
Welcome, gentlemen.
I wanted you to see the room
where it all began.
This is where Mark
and I planned everything.
Mark thought there was no way you
were getting out of that church,
but I told him
"You have to have faith.
Ryan Hardy and Joe Carroll,
they're badass."
Dinner's soon,
so make yourself comfortable,
get a drink,
and if you're worried
about Claire,
don't worry.
She's with me.
Wait, wait.
Could be a trap.
I really cannot wait
to kill these two.
Claire!
Lift her up.
Ok. I got her.
- Are you ok?
- Yeah.
Are you sure?
Yeah.
Hello, Claire.
Where is she?
Where's Claire?
Hey. You're awake.
Oh. Hope you're hungry.
Sorry it's not fancier,
but we had no time to prepare.
Claire?
I'm ok.
Claire looks cute
when she's sleepy.
Still, I suppose
you both know that.
I'm so glad we could all get
together for this dinner.
Yeah. Mother always said
we should always thrash out
our issues over a good meal.
Where's Emma?
You mean, you don't know?
Nobody told you.
I'm sorry to have to
break this to you, Joe.
Emma's dead,
and she ain't coming back.
What did you do to her?
Someone's got some
explaining to do.
Haven't they, Claire?
Claire?
Hey, hey.
You got us.
Let her go.
That was the deal.
Hey. This is
the first course.
Would you like a drink, Ryan?
Come on.
Tell the truth.
Yes or no?
No.
He's not supposed
to drink. He's sober.
You may not remember this,
but we've met before.
When we were planning
this all out with mother,
I used to come
to your morning meetings
and watch you.
I even introduced myself
as a newcomer.
You shook my hand.
Good for you, Ryan.
It takes a lot of courage
to face your demons.
Nobody's talking to you.
I'll ask again.
Would you like a drink?
No.
Hmm?
Wait, wait, stop.
No, no.
No, no, no!
Ho ho ho!
That was tense.
See how this works?
6 chambers, 1 bullet.
You lie, I pull the trigger.
Would you like a drink?
Yes.
Chug, chug, chug.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah. Yeah.
All right. Yeah. Mmm.
Mmm, mmm, mmm.
It's good vodka.
We'll go in on foot, look
for security, surveillance.
Come in from the west.
Looks like quite a hike.
Hey. Are you
good with this?
Yeah, I'm good.
Ahh.
Do you know how much
you hurt my mother, Joe?
She exposed
her true self to you.
She sacrificed everything,
and you just threw her aside.
It was a misunderstanding.
Wait, wait.
No, no, no! Joe!
Do you know
how much you hurt her?
Yes or no?
Yes.
Luke, now you and I,
Mark, we're the same.
We have the same predilections.
Let me make this right.
Let me the father figure
to you that Lily
always wanted me to be.
Too late.
No, no, stop!
We don't need you.
Mother left us
well provided for.
And why would we want you?
You're a failure.
Writer-- fail;
cult leader-- fail;
and that big finale
in the church-- epic fail!
You should have stayed dead.
What do you want me to do?
Apologize for hurting
our mother.
Or roll the dice
and see if Claire
gets a bullet in the brain!
Your choice!
No, no, no!
Shut up, Ryan.
You're next.
Let's hear it, Joe.
Say it, say it.
Say it, say it!
No!
I'm sorry.
What?!
I can't hear you!
I am very sorry
that I hurt your mother.
I'm a deeply flawed
individual, and...
and not worthy of such a woman.
I don't think it was
very sincere,
and you know mother. She was
a strict disciplinarian.
She firmly believed that the
punishment should fit the crime.
Which is why we sentence you
to a slow death.
We're gonna dismember you,
we're gonna slice you up
into tinier and tinier bits
until there's nothing left.
Should take about 18 months.
Oh, boys, boys.
Mark wants to start with
ripping your tongue out,
but I really want to
hear you beg.
It'll be fun.
So, Ryan...
back to you.
You killed our mother.
You were judge and jury.
You executed her
in cold blood-- yes or no?
Yeah, I did.
Now let her go
and give me my punishment.
That's not how this game works.
This is our dinner!
We were so wrong about you.
You were supposed
to be the good guy, the hero.
You can't just go around
playing vigilante.
It's against the law.
You had no right
to kill our mother!
Oh. Exactly.
Do you have any idea
how many people
Ryan has killed?
Far more than me, and that's
just the simple truth.
Shut up.
It's the height of irony.
You've become the man you hate.
You're no better than
the killers you hunt.
Yes. Heh.
He even has a cult
of his own vigilante followers.
Take that Mike Weston.
He's a violent
little runt--
He's got a good point, Ryan.
Mike nearly killed me.
Whose fault's that?
He was following your example.
You corrupted him, Ryan!
Yes.
He's even infected
that lovely niece
of his-- Max!
Ruined her career,
that's for sure--
So sorry.
Won't happen again.
You are supposed to be
the good guy, right?
I'm not good.
I know that.
Oh, finally.
He admits it.
What happened to you?
Well, he gave
in to that most base
of human emotions--
revenge--
just like you boys.
What?
I-- I know
your secret.
Yes, Ryan, do you remember?
Should I tell them?
You finally have
something interesting to add?
Talk.
Well, when Ryan was 17,
his father was killed,
and Ryan, ever the detective,
tracked down the perpetrator
and murdered him,
and he's been seeking
redemption ever since,
which is probably why
he's so fixated on me.
Is that true?
Yeah, it is.
Tell me more.
Why do you need redemption?
I-- I need to be
forgiven,
but you can't be
forgiven, not for that.
It's always there.
Never goes away.
Who will forgive me?
God. God forgives.
There is no God!
You must forgive yourself.
I am not...
the good guy.
But you try to be.
And I fail!
Ryan.
You're a remarkable man.
We're gonna let you live.
But you still need
to be punished,
so we're gonna kill
Max and Mike,
and you're gonna have
to suffer knowing
that they all died
because of you.
It's fitting, isn't it?
And I'm gonna start
by killing Claire.
No, no! Please! Stop!
I'm gonna blow her brains
out right in front of you!
No!
Aah!
Go for Ryan.
We hit Luke.
He can't be far.
Here. Take the gun.
You must really want me dead.
You killed my father.
I didn't think twice
about shooting your mother.
No. No. Ryan
killed my mother.
That's not true.
I did without blinking.
He did it!
He did it, Luke!
He killed mom!
Unh!
Luke.
Mike!
Mike.
Mike, Mike, Mike, Mike, Mike.
Mike.
You're ok. Come on.
Mike?
Ohh.
Oh, God.
Oh, Claire. Oh.
Oh. I missed you.
Joe, let go, let go of me.
I've never been able
to do that, have I?
Do-- do you know
what you mean to me?
When-- when I thought
you'd died--
Yeah, because of you!
Yes, yes.
Because of me.
We were both dead,
but now we're--
we're not.
Don't you see?
There is
an extraordinary
symmetry in that?
Don't you see?
We belong together.
I'd rather be dead.
I-- I understand,
but before anyone else dies,
this might well be
the last time
I see you face to face.
That's what I wanted to say.
I am... sorry.
No.
Yes. I am so
terribly sorry
for everything I've
ever done to you
and everything I have ever done
to our little boy.
You must tell him that, Claire.
No.
Forgive me.
No.
No, Joe. I will never
forgive you.
I will never, ever
forgive you. No.
- Please forgive me.
- No!
Forgive me!
No!
Do it!
Do it!
Do it, Ryan.
Do it.
Do it, Ryan.
Do it.
Call Clarke.
Arrest him.
You should have included me.
They had Claire,
the threatened to kill her
if I brought anyone with me.
Anything on Mark?
Yeah. We're canvassing
the surround area now,
but there's no sign of Luke's
dead body anywhere either.
Hey. Luke is dead,
Lily's dead.
So is the rest of their family.
We'll find Mark.
Ryan.
Why didn't you kill him?
Because this needs
to end, Mike.
- Hey.
- Hey.
You ok?
Yeah. I think so, yeah.
You did the right thing.
You know that, right?
I was thinking I
could, uh, go home,
pack a bag, come back with you,
spend some time
with you and Joey.
Ryan.
I think we both know
that that's--
that's not gonna work.
Why not?
We have a chance now.
Joe's gone, this is over,
you and I can
finally--
No, he's always gonna
be there, Ryan.
Claire.
This is what we're gonna do.
I'm gonna go see my son,
and I'm gonna stop looking
over my shoulder all the time,
and I'm gonna tell Joey
that-- that we can
actually have a life now
and maybe even someday
enjoy it,
and you're gonna do
the same thing.
Why can't we do that together?
Because I'm your past.
Ryan, you deserve
a future, we both do.
But I love you.
And, uh, I love you,
but this is the way
it has to be.
Go build a future
for yourself, Ryan,
whatever that is.
I wouldn't have done
what Ryan did.
I would have shot him.
No, you wouldn't, not now.
I'm not as good
as you think I am.
I never thought
you were perfect.
Finally.
You should have
killed me, Ryan.
No, I'm good.
Choosing to save your
own soul instead, huh?
Well, I hope it goes well.
I'll let you know.
Will you?
Please. Visit me.
No. You won't be
seeing me anymore, Joe.
I would never give you that.
You're gonna die in prison,
and as you wither
away in there,
you're gonna be fading
from my memory every day
a little bit more
because I'll be making
new memories
from a new life that
doesn't include you.
Well, good luck with that.
Let's go.
You're a dead man, Ryan Hardy.
Thank you for coming.
I didn't know who else to call.
- Yes, Luke.
Then they're gonna pay.
"Diner lights flashing
pink on your skin."
What'd she say?
Claire.
If Claire is alive,
she will be at The Inn
in Ware County.
Welcome to Korban, Preston.
It's time for you to pay for
the sins of your father.
Where's my son?
Tanner's at
The Blessed Saints Cathedral.
You know what to do?
I am Joe Carroll,
and I shall be leading
your service now.
Mike and I got it
before they locked it down.
Tell Clarke no moves.
They wired the place.
It's over, Claire.
Unh!
Ok. This-- this is
the twist I didn't see coming.
Good evening, everyone.
Joe Carroll's broadcasting
live over the internet.
Kill or be killed?
The Lord is forgiveness.
I love you, Preston.
Dad! No!
Oh, no, please!
You should reveal yourselves,
or people are going to
start to die,
and we'll begin
with the preacher's son!
3, 2, 1--
Don't hurt him, don't hurt him!
Ryan Hardy can't be far behind.
I'd like nothing more
than for you to witness
your friend's death.
Mikey is gonna die, Ryan!
In 3, 2, 1!
No! No!
I'm sorry.
I was just so tired
of his crying.
I couldn't hear myself think.
Kill him, Ryan!
Just kill him!
Yes. Come on, Ryan.
Come on. Kill me!
Then you can have Claire
all to yourself.
Yeah. I know
she's alive.
I heard the poem,
and if you're here...
is she up at The Inn
all on her lonesome?
Oh, ho ho!
Have you spoken to her
today, Ryan?
Is she safe?
Hello?
So glad to hear from you, Ryan.
It's Luke.

Oh, good news.

Save your breath.

Here's what you need to do.
I want you to bring
Joe Carroll to me alive.
You do that, and you get
a living Claire in return.
Your time is up, Ryan!
What will it be?
I can't do it, Luke.
It's impossible.
You're the big, bad Ryan Hardy.
You can do anything.
Claire's counting on it.
Because if you don't,
I'm gonna cut off her face
and wear it for Halloween.
Someone needs to find him.
They're looking.
Just kill him already.
She's right, Joe.
Just do it.
Let me talk to Claire.
Bring me Joe Carroll.
Does he have to be alive?
Yes, Ryan. Alive.
Do not kill him.
You'll receive a text.
It will tell you
exactly what to do.
You and Joe, no one else,
or Claire dies, horribly.
Damn it to hell.
Will somebody please
find Ryan bloody Hardy?
All right. We got to
get in there.
The doors are rigged to blow.
We're cutting through the back wall.
We need more time.
The pastor and his son are dead.
There is no more time.
Let's find another way
into this church!
Ryan, where are you?
Joe has Mike.

What the hell
are you doing, Ryan?
Tell me Tactical is in place.
All set.
You get ready to

Show's over.
What the hell just happened?
Why can't I hear them?
All we have is
the security feed.
I'll try and boost it.
It's ok.
She's ok.
You shouldn't have
done that, Ryan.
Lily's twins have Claire.
They're gonna kill her
if I don't take you to them.
You're lying.
We got 10 seconds
before HRT takes the church.
You will die, but I can
get you out of here,
and we can save her,
but you got to
drop that gun now.
They're talking.
Jane, I need to hear
what they're saying.
That's as clean
as I can get it.
What kind of trick are
you playing here?
I sent Emma to get Claire.
Well, that didn't work.
The twins have her.
Time's up, Joe.
Put down the gun now.
Tell your people to back off.
I know a way out of here,
but you got to cooperate.
That's it.
That's the signal.
Cut the power!
Move in, move in!
This way.
City plans show
an exit to a restaurant.
Is this how you planned
on getting out?
Maybe. Shouldn't I have
a disguise or something?
There's your disguise.
God!
FBI! Coming
through! Hey!
This man is wounded.
Behind us are two of
Joe Carroll's men.
There's an exit to the church
through the restaurant.
Check it out. Go!
I got you a car,
I disabled the GPS.
You won't be tracked.
Are you sure about this?
I'm not sure about anything.
Ok. Give me your phone.
Here's a disposable.
I programmed
the number in there.
We'll be using one, too.
Get in.
Give me your cuffs.
Hostages are secure.
All right.
Turn on the lights.
This is the FBI!
Please stay calm.
We will take you out of here
as soon as possible.
Please stay where you are.
Where's Ryan?
Where's Weston?
Where's Joe Carroll?
Clarke is figuring this out now.
You have to go.
Is this strictly
necessary, Ryan?
Absolutely.
Luke texted me the address.
It's on my phone.
We'll follow you as soon
as we can get out of here
without being spotted.
I love you.
I love you.
Let's go.
I suppose the radio is
out of the question, is it?
You could at least talk to me.
It's rather lonely back here.
How'd you survive
8 years on death row,
confined to a cell
with no audience,
no one to sing or dance for?
Yeah, it was hideous,
pure hell.
Granted, a prison cell
is a great motivator,
but I've already escaped twice.
I'm not entirely convinced
I've got a third one in me.
Your legacy ends today.
All I ever wanted was
for my name to live forever.
I think I've probably...
accomplished that.
I want you to know
something, that--
uh, that when I die,
I hope that you and Claire
can find a way to be happy.
Is that what you want, Joe?
I've come round to it actually.
I do understand
why she loved you.
Inverted morals aside,
you and I are very much cut
from the same cloth.
We're basically
the same person.
I disabled the GPS.
The FBI won't be able to track us.
Ryan should be out
of the city by now.
We'll have to clear
the checkpoints,
but we shouldn't be
that far behind.
Hey. Are you ok?
Are you sure
you're up for this?
Yeah.
Because you almost died.
I'm ok.
We should get moving.
Clarke's gonna be
looking for us.
Who lives here?
We do.
Sometimes.
Mother gave it to us so
we had a playground.
We've been coming
here for years.
It came with the 300 acres
that surrounds it.
It's hidden in her shell corps
under so many aliases
nobody even knows
that mom owns it.
FYI, there's nowhere to run.
We'll just find you, hurt you,
so you should probably
just rest up.
Uh, rest up
for-- for what?
Oh, we're having
a family dinner.
So much to do.
I'll put the heat on,
you watch her.
So how's this gonna work?
You just gonna turn me
over to the twins
and then they're gonna kill me?
If they don't,
I'll be standing nearby.
I sincerely hope, Ryan,
that-- that my death
brings you the salvation
you yearn for.
Wherever I may be,
I'll be rooting for you.
Thanks, Joe.
I'm kind of looking
forward to it.
Ugh. I was beginning to wonder
whether you were gonna pitch up.
I followed you.
I had to wait until you
got off the main roads.
Well, next time
you come to my rescue,
perhaps you could avoid
nearly bloody killing me!
Damn that hurts!
Give me your gun.
You know, Tim,
you really ought to think twice
before rescuing me.
Come on, old friend.
Come on.
It's not quite over yet.
There we are.
Come on, big fella.
Agh. Damn it.
30 miles from Layton,
and Jupiter Place
isn't on the map.
We'll find it.
Why aren't you answering
your phone, Ryan?
Don't worry. Ryan's
gonna be all right.
Just a little
ostentatious, isn't it?
"You are cordially
invited to dinner.
Please come in."
How very charming.
Oh, come on, Ryan.
I thought we discussed
this last night.
You're not gonna shoot me.
If you did, what's gonna
become of our Claire?
Give me your gun.
There is no way I'm
walking into that house
empty-handed.
I saved your life.
I'd like to think I've
earned a degree of trust.
There.
After you.

Well.
Welcome, gentlemen.
I wanted you to see the room
where it all began.
This is where Mark
and I planned everything.
Mark thought there was no way you
were getting out of that church,
but I told him
"You have to have faith.
Ryan Hardy and Joe Carroll,
they're badass."
Dinner's soon,
so make yourself comfortable,
get a drink,
and if you're worried
about Claire,
don't worry.
She's with me.
Wait, wait.
Could be a trap.
I really cannot wait
to kill these two.
Claire!
Lift her up.
Ok. I got her.
- Are you ok?
- Yeah.
Are you sure?
Yeah.
Hello, Claire.
Where is she?
Where's Claire?
Hey. You're awake.
Oh. Hope you're hungry.
Sorry it's not fancier,
but we had no time to prepare.
Claire?
I'm ok.
Claire looks cute
when she's sleepy.
Still, I suppose
you both know that.
I'm so glad we could all get
together for this dinner.
Yeah. Mother always said
we should always thrash out
our issues over a good meal.
Where's Emma?
You mean, you don't know?
Nobody told you.
I'm sorry to have to
break this to you, Joe.
Emma's dead,
and she ain't coming back.
What did you do to her?
Someone's got some
explaining to do.
Haven't they, Claire?
Claire?
Hey, hey.
You got us.
Let her go.
That was the deal.
Hey. This is
the first course.
Would you like a drink, Ryan?
Come on.
Tell the truth.
Yes or no?
No.
He's not supposed
to drink. He's sober.
You may not remember this,
but we've met before.
When we were planning
this all out with mother,
I used to come
to your morning meetings
and watch you.
I even introduced myself
as a newcomer.
You shook my hand.
Good for you, Ryan.
It takes a lot of courage
to face your demons.
Nobody's talking to you.
I'll ask again.
Would you like a drink?
No.
Hmm?
Wait, wait, stop.
No, no.
No, no, no!
Ho ho ho!
That was tense.
See how this works?
6 chambers, 1 bullet.
You lie, I pull the trigger.
Would you like a drink?
Yes.
Chug, chug, chug.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah. Yeah.
All right. Yeah. Mmm.
Mmm, mmm, mmm.
It's good vodka.
We'll go in on foot, look
for security, surveillance.
Come in from the west.
Looks like quite a hike.
Hey. Are you
good with this?
Yeah, I'm good.
Ahh.
Do you know how much
you hurt my mother, Joe?
She exposed
her true self to you.
She sacrificed everything,
and you just threw her aside.
It was a misunderstanding.
Wait, wait.
No, no, no! Joe!
Do you know
how much you hurt her?
Yes or no?
Yes.
Luke, now you and I,
Mark, we're the same.
We have the same predilections.
Let me make this right.
Let me the father figure
to you that Lily
always wanted me to be.
Too late.
No, no, stop!
We don't need you.
Mother left us
well provided for.
And why would we want you?
You're a failure.
Writer-- fail;
cult leader-- fail;
and that big finale
in the church-- epic fail!
You should have stayed dead.
What do you want me to do?
Apologize for hurting
our mother.
Or roll the dice
and see if Claire
gets a bullet in the brain!
Your choice!
No, no, no!
Shut up, Ryan.
You're next.
Let's hear it, Joe.
Say it, say it.
Say it, say it!
No!
I'm sorry.
What?!
I can't hear you!
I am very sorry
that I hurt your mother.
I'm a deeply flawed
individual, and...
and not worthy of such a woman.
I don't think it was
very sincere,
and you know mother. She was
a strict disciplinarian.
She firmly believed that the
punishment should fit the crime.
Which is why we sentence you
to a slow death.
We're gonna dismember you,
we're gonna slice you up
into tinier and tinier bits
until there's nothing left.
Should take about 18 months.
Oh, boys, boys.
Mark wants to start with
ripping your tongue out,
but I really want to
hear you beg.
It'll be fun.
So, Ryan...
back to you.
You killed our mother.
You were judge and jury.
You executed her
in cold blood-- yes or no?
Yeah, I did.
Now let her go
and give me my punishment.
That's not how this game works.
This is our dinner!
We were so wrong about you.
You were supposed
to be the good guy, the hero.
You can't just go around
playing vigilante.
It's against the law.
You had no right
to kill our mother!
Oh. Exactly.
Do you have any idea
how many people
Ryan has killed?
Far more than me, and that's
just the simple truth.
Shut up.
It's the height of irony.
You've become the man you hate.
You're no better than
the killers you hunt.
Yes. Heh.
He even has a cult
of his own vigilante followers.
Take that Mike Weston.
He's a violent
little runt--
He's got a good point, Ryan.
Mike nearly killed me.
Whose fault's that?
He was following your example.
You corrupted him, Ryan!
Yes.
He's even infected
that lovely niece
of his-- Max!
Ruined her career,
that's for sure--
So sorry.
Won't happen again.
You are supposed to be
the good guy, right?
I'm not good.
I know that.
Oh, finally.
He admits it.
What happened to you?
Well, he gave
in to that most base
of human emotions--
revenge--
just like you boys.
What?
I-- I know
your secret.
Yes, Ryan, do you remember?
Should I tell them?
You finally have
something interesting to add?
Talk.
Well, when Ryan was 17,
his father was killed,
and Ryan, ever the detective,
tracked down the perpetrator
and murdered him,
and he's been seeking
redemption ever since,
which is probably why
he's so fixated on me.
Is that true?
Yeah, it is.
Tell me more.
Why do you need redemption?
I-- I need to be
forgiven,
but you can't be
forgiven, not for that.
It's always there.
Never goes away.
Who will forgive me?
God. God forgives.
There is no God!
You must forgive yourself.
I am not...
the good guy.
But you try to be.
And I fail!
Ryan.
You're a remarkable man.
We're gonna let you live.
But you still need
to be punished,
so we're gonna kill
Max and Mike,
and you're gonna have
to suffer knowing
that they all died
because of you.
It's fitting, isn't it?
And I'm gonna start
by killing Claire.
No, no! Please! Stop!
I'm gonna blow her brains
out right in front of you!
No!
Aah!
Go for Ryan.
We hit Luke.
He can't be far.
Here. Take the gun.
You must really want me dead.
You killed my father.
I didn't think twice
about shooting your mother.
No. No. Ryan
killed my mother.
That's not true.
I did without blinking.
He did it!
He did it, Luke!
He killed mom!
Unh!
Luke.
Mike!
Mike.
Mike, Mike, Mike, Mike, Mike.
Mike.
You're ok. Come on.
Mike?
Ohh.
Oh, God.
Oh, Claire. Oh.
Oh. I missed you.
Joe, let go, let go of me.
I've never been able
to do that, have I?
Do-- do you know
what you mean to me?
When-- when I thought
you'd died--
Yeah, because of you!
Yes, yes.
Because of me.
We were both dead,
but now we're--
we're not.
Don't you see?
There is
an extraordinary
symmetry in that?
Don't you see?
We belong together.
I'd rather be dead.
I-- I understand,
but before anyone else dies,
this might well be
the last time
I see you face to face.
That's what I wanted to say.
I am... sorry.
No.
Yes. I am so
terribly sorry
for everything I've
ever done to you
and everything I have ever done
to our little boy.
You must tell him that, Claire.
No.
Forgive me.
No.
No, Joe. I will never
forgive you.
I will never, ever
forgive you. No.
- Please forgive me.
- No!
Forgive me!
No!
Do it!
Do it!
Do it, Ryan.
Do it.
Do it, Ryan.
Do it.
Call Clarke.
Arrest him.
You should have included me.
They had Claire,
the threatened to kill her
if I brought anyone with me.
Anything on Mark?
Yeah. We're canvassing
the surround area now,
but there's no sign of Luke's
dead body anywhere either.
Hey. Luke is dead,
Lily's dead.
So is the rest of their family.
We'll find Mark.
Ryan.
Why didn't you kill him?
Because this needs
to end, Mike.
- Hey.
- Hey.
You ok?
Yeah. I think so, yeah.
You did the right thing.
You know that, right?
I was thinking I
could, uh, go home,
pack a bag, come back with you,
spend some time
with you and Joey.
Ryan.
I think we both know
that that's--
that's not gonna work.
Why not?
We have a chance now.
Joe's gone, this is over,
you and I can
finally--
No, he's always gonna
be there, Ryan.
Claire.
This is what we're gonna do.
I'm gonna go see my son,
and I'm gonna stop looking
over my shoulder all the time,
and I'm gonna tell Joey
that-- that we can
actually have a life now
and maybe even someday
enjoy it,
and you're gonna do
the same thing.
Why can't we do that together?
Because I'm your past.
Ryan, you deserve
a future, we both do.
But I love you.
And, uh, I love you,
but this is the way
it has to be.
Go build a future
for yourself, Ryan,
whatever that is.
I wouldn't have done
what Ryan did.
I would have shot him.
No, you wouldn't, not now.
I'm not as good
as you think I am.
I never thought
you were perfect.
Finally.
You should have
killed me, Ryan.
No, I'm good.
Choosing to save your
own soul instead, huh?
Well, I hope it goes well.
I'll let you know.
Will you?
Please. Visit me.
No. You won't be
seeing me anymore, Joe.
I would never give you that.
You're gonna die in prison,
and as you wither
away in there,
you're gonna be fading
from my memory every day
a little bit more
because I'll be making
new memories
from a new life that
doesn't include you.
Well, good luck with that.
Let's go.
You're a dead man, Ryan Hardy.
Thank you for coming.
I didn't know who else to call.
