The Odyssey (1992–1994): Season 2, Episode 1 - Lands End - full transcript
On the way to the lighthouse, Jay finds a niche as a worker in a pizza parlor and wants to stay indefinitely - out of fear his dad will not be at the lighthouse. As he waits on a pirate, he notices he is wearing his father's tie from long ago - which came from the lighthouse. Meanwhile in the outer world, Jay, still in a stupor, makes a completely voluntary, inexplicable, and brilliant chess move with his king just as in the inner world, Jay starts off for the lighthouse. Ducking into a tunnel on pure instinct, Jay follows it and encounters both pirates and more monitors but perseveres until Flash, Alpha, and he come out in sight of the lighthouse - across the water.
Everything for the tower nothing against the tower . iam your brain
what I wish last year which . the tower looks after
the tower loves you . Don't worry Be happy
you idiot . is that any way to speak to your supreme ruler. How could you let him get away?

This is serious macro. We have to stop him . Where did Jay go?
No He said he was going to the lighthouse Okay . with Brad ?. Who cares We don't meet them.
Well, you're going to be something if he gets there. That's where the best power comes from.

Medea darling, we already have the best of power
macro, darling. That's why I'm scared. I been in Jays world. I know why he's the wrecker
Macro we have to stop him
Oh allright . Book me CTV time today
and order all monitors to begin operation Total Recall
how long you stick around here anyway?
what so hurry Flash? It's not like you have a club to go back to.
It's not me. It's Jay.
We left the tower in a real big hurry to get to the lighthouse.
Maybe he needs rest .What he needs is an alarm clock
Okay I'll talk to him . yak yak yak Don't you ever get tired of talk? We got to get him out of here
??? Flash ? here gosh I post up my clock by you .
how are you ? Hungry Hey, kid.
hey kid Perfect timing . My excellent pepperoni pizza with special sauce is coming right up ???
the odyssey
next few weeks ago I was showing he´s was waking up and now ...
he's gone on hold again.
Progress in cases like this fail isn't always a straight line.
I don't know how much more of it I can take.
The longer Jay stays in a coma the less likely he is to ever wake up.
You have to have faith . I have to make some decisions about him.
about me
if Jay is never coming back I'd rather you told me right now
I wish it were that simple.
The mind can be a pretty mysterious engine . oh don't give me that mind miracle stuff I need answers.
see Jay If you don't move I'm gonna win.
iam not a kid like Donna . I cannot go on pretending that everything is okay with him.
Anyone for seconds?
good hey . It's okay But we got a problem.
Not cheesy enough . no sit down
I didn't come all this way to watch you be a waiter. When are we going to get out of here?
Where are we going?
You know, to the lighthouse.
That's what you said when we left the tower.
I can't go now.
why not ? Jay pizza I'll be right there.
I thought you said you want to be part of a family.
Yeah, a real family. The way you told us with big people and little people . you know you could be the big person in our family.
These kids need me they need us all. Yeah, but what do you need Jay?
He used to have a mission . now you have Special sauce.
hey what's going on here?
what Seems to be the problem?
you know the rules TVs got ??? all the time
I'm sorry it's broken.
Why didn't you tell the tower?
you guys want pizza on the house
Hey, get lost get out of here it's cool move hurry up
I guess we could fix the TV
don't think it's get you off the hook . call it a taste test
i keep those monitors a taste
relax take a pill
so far from the tower whoever's out here don't even give birthday cards
this kid is hugely important to the tower . He knows all kinds of stuff and it's telling it's important to all of us.
if you've seen this kid report them immediately to the nearest monitor
or a note the anonymous tip box and we'll take it from there
you can't be serious Val it's a nursing home
it's not easy for me but I don't feel I have any choice
you can't be serious Val it's a nursing home
it's not easy for me but I don't feel I have any choice
knight to Bishop six
is that what you think Jay?
Well, I think of it as a strategic permutation.
Queen to knight three
I don't think that's gonna help.
I know driftwood isn't cheap Val.
But if you put him in a chronic care facility, aren't you just dreading him off?
Do you think I haven't asked myself that . But he's not making any progress.
He came so close . I could feel him right there. You saw it too.
If you take him away, you'll never have a chance to try again
maybe Jay has to face the fact of his father's death before he can come back.
Macro said I could leave the tower . Macro had changes his mind
her you go Personal Room Service
iam okay here the counting on me
sounds to me like your chicken.
for what
they won't place you've got to go and you want . the lighthouse?
what is the lighthouse turns out to be another zero like wrath.
I mean, we wandered all around forever to find the guy.
Yeah, but you didn't even know you. So what?
so if we god of the lighthouse and my dad's not there?
Then we keep looking.
Aren't we better off knowing?
But what if there's nothing that even points to him?
What if it's a dead end?
what try to then
stay here forever
maybe I have to face reality for both of us. It's a good facility
and I can afford it for the for the rest of his life.
When I see him like this, he's so peaceful comfortable and he's so peaceful.
Maybe he's trying to tell me that this is how he wants to be. Maybe I should listen to him
we have an opening next week.
