There's No Home for You Here
1 Previously, on Beyond Someone's coming.
A woman pretending to be FBI.
She knows about your machine.
And you mean to get rid of it before she gets here.
Agent Borden, FBI.
She's here, isn't she? DIANE: I knew there was something wrong the lying, the bruises.
I'm so sorry.
HOLDEN: I did it.
The hole is closed, but that thing that attacked me is still here.
We have to send it back.
CHARLIE: Holden's not the only one who touched that freezer and saw something.
Holden's gonna die.
[DOGS BARKING.]
[KIDS CHATTERING.]
[PIANO MUSIC PLAYS.]
DIANE: Do you have everything? TOM: Just the one bag.
Hey, buddy.
- Hi.
- You good? - Yeah.
- Got a little surprise for you.
Oh, there.
Holden.
Look who it is.
Come meet your baby brother.
Honey, this is Luke.
TOM: You're a big brother now.
That means it's your job to look after him.
One day you'll be the man of the house, and you gotta look after everybody.
- DIANE: Mm-hm.
- Think you can do that? Thatta boy.
- [THUNDER CRACKS.]
- HOLDEN: You hear that? It means the storm's getting closer.
LUKE: But I don't want it to get closer.
HOLDEN: Hey.
It's okay.
Don't be afraid.
There's nothing to be scared of.
What about the monsters outside? I can hear them.
They're so loud.
The monsters can't hurt you.
- [LOUD THUNDER CRACK.]
- Hey.
Hey.
It's okay.
You wanna know why the monsters can't hurt you? Because you're safe inside this house.
See, as long as we're in here, the monsters can't get us.
This house will protect you.
I'll protect you.
[THUNDER RUMBLING.]
[OMINOUS MUSIC PLAYS.]
Mom! Dad! - Luke! - [DOOR SLAMS SHUT.]
Thank God you're safe! - Are you okay? - I'm okay.
- Are you sure? - Nothing happened.
Hey.
Next time we tell you to come home, you come home, you understand? Don't scare us like that.
Yes, okay.
Are you guys okay? Yeah, we're fine.
Has he been here? Who? Honey, it's just us.
It's just us.
We need to go.
Right now.
We can't stay here.
No.
No! Not until you stop and tell us what the hell's goin' on.
Dad, we need DIANE: I don't want any more secrets! I don't wanna be kept on the outside, Holden.
I want you to trust us.
I I don't know how to explain.
Well, we can figure it out together.
We're always gonna be here for you.
Holden, there's nothing you can do that would ever change that.
You know that, son.
DIEGO: Holden Matthews.
Who? Where are you? I'll handle this.
No.
He's here for me.
[THEME MUSIC PLAYS.]
- You are not going out there! - Absolutely not! If you want me to trust you, you have to trust me.
and I don't want anything happening to you! moth No one is going anywhere until we get some backup.
You don't understand.
I am the backup.
You saw the video.
There are things I can do, things you wouldn't believe.
W Charlie, tell them.
I don't wanna see you get hurt.
Second squad's on its way from KCPD, but they're still a long way out.
So until then, it's just us.
- [WINDOW BREAKS.]
- [SCREAMS.]
Stay down, stay down.
I need a better vantage point.
Everyone, you sit tight.
Holden, get down! What do we do now? Throw on another home movie? We protect this house.
Holden, grab this end of the table.
Can I get you a drink? We're FBI.
Doesn't mean you can't unwind after a long day.
But since you brought it up, may I see your badge, Agent Borden? Funny, I noticed your trucks, they don't have government plates.
We use private contractors.
Who are you? I told you, we're Not real FBI.
A real agent would never hand over their credentials, too much of a liability.
You learn that day one at Quantico.
- So again - [THUDS.]
who are you? My name's Eleanor Kurtz.
And no, I do not work for the government.
What do you want? I wanna survive.
What's stopping you? Did you know it looks thousands of years for our world's population to reach its first billion.
When I was born, it was close to three billion.
When your daughter is born, it will have doubled to nearly seven billion people on this planet.
Our world won't survive if these numbers continue at this rate.
Air and water pollution persist.
Every day there are more mouths to feed and less air to breathe.
To sit back and do nothing would make us complicit in the slow and painful death of the human race.
If only there was another plane of existence where people like you and me don't take up physical space.
A place where we all can exist happily.
A fresh start.
Your machine where is it? I don't have to tell you anything.
You're right.
You don't.
[SIGHS.]
But you are about to welcome a baby girl.
Don't you want your daughter growing up in a world that can sustain itself? Isn't that something you'd like to see? The machine is broken.
And the only man that knows how to fix it is in a coma.
[LAUGHS.]
Mm.
Mm, no, we don't need Dr.
Frost, not when we have Arthur Forman.
If you think Arthur's just gonna roll over and help you Oh, he will.
We'll make sure he knows it's in his best interest.
Now for the last time, where's the machine? WILLA: Where's the machine? [COCKS.]
Where is it? It's safe, which is more than I can say for the three of us if you intend to fire that thing in here.
Lots of dangerous chemicals.
Smart girl.
Hey buddy.
You said this FBI imposter's a threat.
Yeah, and what are you gonna do? I'll spare you the gory details.
But you might not wanna stick around for too much longer.
Okay, who the hell is that guy? He's a hired thug.
He's nobody.
Well, I hope he's enough of a somebody to keep the fake Gale Borden from getting what she came here for.
What are you doing? Willa, hey, come on, we gotta get outta here.
No.
We're not leaving yet.
[POUNDING ON DOOR.]
We'll use these to reinforce the door.
Should hold long enough.
[BANGING ON DOOR.]
[BANGING CONTINUES.]
CHARLIE: I'm sorry I lied to you.
DIANE: You were just trying to protect Holden.
I can't blame you.
I would've done the same thing.
- [POUNDING HAMMER.]
- I never wanted any of this to happen.
- Of course you didn't.
- I tried so hard to keep you and Mom and Luke out of this.
[BASH.]
What do they want? - They want Holden! - Aaah! They know he's special.
I remember as a kid you told me that one day I'd be the man of the house.
You said it would be my job to look after everyone.
We're in this together now, right? [POUNDING ON DOOR.]
[HAMMERING ON DOOR.]
Who are these people? Not people.
Not anymore.
[POUNDING ON DOOR.]
- Aah! Aah! - [CRACKING.]
Okay, these will do.
These will do what? I told you we can't allow this place to continue sending people into the Realm.
Whoa, whoa.
You never said anything about setting this place on fire.
I'm as surprised as you are.
I really doubt that.
Look, we don't even know where the machine is.
It's there.
Behind that wall.
We don't know that.
Wha Willa.
What are you doin'? - Back up.
- Wait, Willa - What are you doing? Wait! - [SMASH.]
We do now.
Luke.
This place needs to burn to the ground.
With that machine, the technology and everything else in here.
Okay, but what about your father? I saw what happened to him in the Realm.
Whatever's lying in that box, it's not him.
My father's already dead.
Luke please.
I need your help.
KURTZ: We both want the same thing giving people a chance at a better life.
You and your congregation are more than welcome to join us.
We'll see.
[HEAVY DOOR OPENING.]
[FOOTSTEPS.]
[LIGHTS SWITCHING ON.]
Drop your weapons.
Do no such thing.
Drop 'em.
Or we'll shoot out your teeth one by one.
- Ready? - Yeah.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
You got a lighter? No why would I have a lighter? You have a gun.
Is a lighter that much more implausible? - What about matches? - Great, you have matches.
No, I was asking if you have matches.
Why would I be asking you for a lighter if I have matches? I I have an idea.
- [POUNDING ON DOOR.]
- [HAMMERING.]
[RATTLING.]
- What happened? - I was gonna ask you the same thing.
Maybe your backup finally arrived.
[SMASH.]
I tried knocking, but nobody answered.
Hello, Holden.
- Don't take another step.
- Freeze! - [GUNSHOT.]
- [DIANE SCREAMS.]
[GRUNTS.]

Okay.
Okay.
It's gonna be okay.
It's gonna be okay.
No Do you want me to leave it inside, will it help stop the bleeding? - [GROANING.]
- Holden how is this all possible? [GLASS CRUNCHING.]
DIANE: Oh my god.
You have to get in the basement.
Now! Now, come on.
You too, Charlie.
What about you? I have to finish this.
No.
Not by yourself.
We're not leaving you.
Come on.
Holden can handle himself, okay? We gotta go.
We gotta go.
- DIANE: Charlie's right.
- Go.
Go.
Aah [METAL TAPPING.]
Stand back.
Wait.
How's your aim? You know, my mom wouldn't let me play Mortal Kombat when we were younger? She said it was, uh "too violent.
" So she got us Duck Hunt.
What does that mean? It means my aim is outstanding.
[EXPLOSION.]
[ROCK MUSIC PLAYS.]
There's always a siren Singing you to shipwreck Don't reach out, don't reach out Don't reach out, don't reach out Steer away from these rocks We'd be a walking disaster Don't reach out, don't reach out Don't reach out, don't reach out Just 'cause you feel it [EXPLOSION.]

[SCREAMS.]
Heaven sent you To me To me We are accidents Waiting, waiting To happen We are accidents Waiting, waiting To happen He's gonna be okay.
I've seen your son do some amazing things.
He's an amazing kid.
Well young man.
I never met my real dad or had any halfway decent father figure to look up to, but I do know how to spot the good ones.
Mm.
I look at Holden, and I see someone who grew up loved.
And that makes him strong.
Strong enough to deal with whatever's upstairs.
[FOOTSTEPS ON STAIRS.]
DIANE: I thought I had a first aid kit.
Sorry, I don't.
Excuse me, Charlie.
I'm just gonna apply some pressure, okay? Uhh ahh! Too much.
I'm sorry.
- Just keep the blood from pouring out.
- Okay.
[EXHALES.]
He used our wedding china.
Well, it's good to see someone finally did.
[LAUGHS.]
[GROANS.]

I love you, too.
[THUD.]
[CRASH.]
[GRUNTS.]
[GRUNTS.]
[GRUNTING.]
- [GRUNTS.]
- It's over! You lost.
You're gonna have to kill me.
I'm not gonna kill you.
I'm gonna send you back - where you came from.
- And you think that'll save you? We've done this time and time again.
There's the struggle, and then there's the surrender.
It's always the same, time and time again! - No! - [GRUNTS.]
Not this time! Look around.
I'm still here.
We're still here.
Hey, and more importantly, so are you.
[GRUNTING.]
Yaaaah! [CHOKING SOUND.]
[CHOKING SOUND.]
Hey.
[COUGHS.]
You okay? Is he dead? I don't think so.
He looks pretty dead.
That's not him.
- That's not him.
- What do you mean that's not him, if that's If that's not him, then where the hell is he? He's in my head.
I can feel him.
I I can hear him.
I don't I don't understand, how You have to get me to the freezer.
What happened to you? Please! You have to send this thing back before it gets stronger.
Charlie, we don't have a lotta time, we have to go.
[YELLING.]
Now! [HELICOPTERS OVERHEAD.]
[FLAMES ROARING.]
[TALKING AND SHOUTING.]
[SIREN BLARING.]
Hold it right there! Hands where I can see them! Agent Gale Borden, FBI.
This entire property is under investigation.
We'll take it from here.
Christine! You okay? Are you all right? Yeah.
We're fine.
Everybody's fine.
[BABY CRYING.]
[FIRE ROARING.]
[SIRENS BLARING.]
[CHRISTINE CRYING.]
Let's go home.
[SIREN BLASTS.]
[SIRENS BLARING.]
[SIRENS CONTINUE.]
[SIRENS BLARING.]
[SIREN CONTINUING.]
[SIREN TURNED OFF.]
[BREATHING.]
[SLIDING DOOR OPENING.]
[SLIDING DOOR CLOSING.]
I got you.
[BREATHING HEAVILY.]
- Okay.
- Ohhh.
[GRUNTING.]
Come on.
I'm not going back! Oohhh! [MOANS.]
[CHARLIE BREATHING.]
Holden? Hey, come on! I know you're still in there, Holden! Sorry.
It's just me.
Hope this doesn't change things between us.
You can still crawl into my bed anytime.
- [YELLS.]
- [GRUNTS.]
[GRUNTING.]
- [GASPING.]
- It's okay.
It's okay.
It's okay.
It's okay.
[COUGHING.]
Is it you? Yeah.
It's me.
Good.
That other guy was a real asshole.
[BOTH LAUGH.]
You made it.
You hurt? I burnt my tongue on some coffee when I stopped for gas.
But no, nothin' bullet related.
You got him? Ah.
Ah.
I don't suppose either of you guys brought along any of my clothes? Ugh man, I smell like burnt garbage.
I think it's the incinerator.
Actually, my building doesn't have an incinerator, so it's definitely you.
So, um tonight was fun.
[LAUGHS.]
But, um maybe next time we could just go see a movie, eat some tapas, you know? Keep it low key.
[LAUGHS.]
That sounds good.
I don't want to stay away from you.
Oh, thank God.
Okay, that was the dumbest idea I've ever had.
I don't wanna stay away from you, either.
I know why you said what you said.
Yeah? Yeah.
Holden and I we had something special.
That's sort of undeniable.
But it wasn't real.
What we had existed in this crazy place where we could move mountains with our minds.
It's a place full of magic and mayhem, and where every moment the stakes were life and death.
It was this whole other world.
Shining, shimmering, splendid.
I get it.
But it's not the world we live in.
And it's not a world I ever wanna go back to.
I wanna be here in the real world feeling real feelings.
Living a real life, where you give me nitro cold brew coffee, and I ask for a little cream, and even though you say it's just not as good that way, you still give it to me.
This is the life I want.
You are the life I want.
You know that nitro brew coffee is, like, a total racket, though, right? I'm serious, once it sits in your cup for a while all the bubbles go away, and then it becomes a regular cup of cold brew coffee you spent $2 for Luke I want all of those things, Willa.
- But it's just - Holden.
Yeah.
I still need to talk to Holden.
How's he doing? He's sleepin' like a rock.
He had quite a day.
You said you were gonna wait.
I'm sorry.
I lied.
I made a huge mistake - Christine - Now hold on, just just let me finish.
I went there because if I moved on, if I turned my back on Helping Hands and all that stuff, I was afraid I'd I was afraid I'd leave Kevin behind altogether.
And I don't ever want that to happen.
You won't.
You don't need a group of strangers to remind you, either.
[BABY COOS.]
This little guy's all you need.
[BABY COOING.]
Being an uncle to this baby is the only thing that makes any sense to me.
And it's given me more strength than I've ever had in my entire life.
I know.
It's not easy, letting go of the past.
- It's time to move forward.
- [CRIES.]
They're alive.
You ever seen anything like this? All right, load 'em up and take 'em over to county, let 'em know they gotta make some more room.
Dad! I'm fine.
Fine.
Looks worse than it is.
Are you okay? Yeah.
I'm okay.
We're safe.
We're safe.
Oh.
They said it was a pretty deep cut.
- Oh, I'll follow you to the hospital.
- No! No.
Luke just called, he's on his way home.
You should be here.
I didn't tell him.
I I didn't know what to tell him.
We tell him the truth.
- No more secrets.
- Okay.
We're ready to move him now.
Okay, I I'm gonna I'm I'm gonna ride with him.
Okay.
He's gonna be all right.
You saved his life.
We'll clear out before the media's tipped off.
It should buy you some time until we best figure out how to explain - whatever the hell happened here.
- [SIREN BEEPS.]
You don't have to cover for us.
Someone's gonna have to.
[BOTH SIGHING.]
[PHONE BUZZING.]
Hey.
I'm I'm really glad you called.
WILLA: I didn't know if I should call you or come see you.
In person.
/I I wanted to come see you, but not the way we left it.
[SIGHS.]
I was nervous, I guess.
Yeah.
I did it.
Willa, I I fixed it.
Whatever threat we unleashed, it it can't hurt us anymore.
Neither can Hollow Sky.
What happened? [STOVE CLICKS ON PHONE.]
A lot's happened, Holden.
HOLDEN: Yeah.
I'm sorry.
I should've been honest with you, about Charlie, about all of it.
The last thing I I ever wanted to do was to hurt you.
It did hurt.
You know, you were the one thing tying me to the real world.
You were my life raft to keep me from sinking.
But not anymore? I think I can have a fresh start.
Leaving behind Hollow Sky and the Realm.
What about us? Maybe us too.
I don't know, maybe it only works if it's everything.
Or nothing.
I I I don't want it to be nothing.
Maybe you're right.
Maybe we were wrong to jump into something we didn't fully understand.
- [KETTLE WHISTLING.]
- Maybe it was Willa? [WHISTLING CONTINUES.]
- Oh no.
Arthur? - HOLDEN: Willa, what's happening? Arthur! [WHISTLING CONTINUES.]
Willa, are you there? Arthur! Arthur, where are you? Willa.
Oh my God.
- [YELLING.]
Arthur, are you here? - Willa? HOLDEN: What happened? Willa? No.
Oh no.
[SCREAMING.]
Shh.
Shh.
HOLDEN: Willa? Willa, say something! Willa! - What's going on? Willa! - [KETTLE WHISTLING.]
[KETTLE WHISTLING.]
What the hell happened?
A woman pretending to be FBI.
She knows about your machine.
And you mean to get rid of it before she gets here.
Agent Borden, FBI.
She's here, isn't she? DIANE: I knew there was something wrong the lying, the bruises.

You got a lighter? No why would I have a lighter? You have a gun.
Is a lighter that much more implausible? - What about matches? - Great, you have matches.
No, I was asking if you have matches.
Why would I be asking you for a lighter if I have matches? I I have an idea.
- [POUNDING ON DOOR.]
- [HAMMERING.]
[RATTLING.]
- What happened? - I was gonna ask you the same thing.
Maybe your backup finally arrived.
[SMASH.]
I tried knocking, but nobody answered.

DIANE: Oh my god.
You have to get in the basement.

What about you? I have to finish this.

Holden can handle himself, okay? We gotta go.
We gotta go.
- DIANE: Charlie's right.
- Go.
Go.
Aah [METAL TAPPING.]
Stand back.
Wait.
How's your aim? You know, my mom wouldn't let me play Mortal Kombat when we were younger? She said it was, uh "too violent.
" So she got us Duck Hunt.
What does that mean? It means my aim is outstanding.

Heaven sent you To me To me We are accidents Waiting, waiting To happen We are accidents Waiting, waiting To happen He's gonna be okay.
I've seen your son do some amazing things.
He's an amazing kid.
Well young man.
I never met my real dad or had any halfway decent father figure to look up to, but I do know how to spot the good ones.
Mm.
I look at Holden, and I see someone who grew up loved.
And that makes him strong.
Strong enough to deal with whatever's upstairs.
[FOOTSTEPS ON STAIRS.]
DIANE: I thought I had a first aid kit.
Sorry, I don't.
Excuse me, Charlie.
I'm just gonna apply some pressure, okay? Uhh ahh! Too much.
I'm sorry.
- Just keep the blood from pouring out.
- Okay.
[EXHALES.]
He used our wedding china.
Well, it's good to see someone finally did.
[LAUGHS.]
[GROANS.]
Hey.
What? I love you.
I love you, too.
[THUD.]
[CRASH.]
[GRUNTS.]
[GRUNTS.]
[GRUNTING.]
- [GRUNTS.]
- It's over! You lost.
You're gonna have to kill me.
I'm not gonna kill you.
I'm gonna send you back - where you came from.
- And you think that'll save you? We've done this time and time again.
There's the struggle, and then there's the surrender.
It's always the same, time and time again! - No! - [GRUNTS.]
Not this time! Look around.
I'm still here.
We're still here.
Hey, and more importantly, so are you.
[GRUNTING.]
Yaaaah! [CHOKING SOUND.]
[CHOKING SOUND.]
Hey.
[COUGHS.]
You okay? Is he dead? I don't think so.
He looks pretty dead.
That's not him.
- That's not him.
- What do you mean that's not him, if that's If that's not him, then where the hell is he? He's in my head.
I can feel him.
I I can hear him.
I don't I don't understand, how You have to get me to the freezer.
What happened to you? Please! You have to send this thing back before it gets stronger.
Charlie, we don't have a lotta time, we have to go.
[YELLING.]
Now! [HELICOPTERS OVERHEAD.]
[FLAMES ROARING.]
[TALKING AND SHOUTING.]
[SIREN BLARING.]
Hold it right there! Hands where I can see them! Agent Gale Borden, FBI.
This entire property is under investigation.
We'll take it from here.
Christine! You okay? Are you all right? Yeah.
We're fine.
Everybody's fine.
[BABY CRYING.]
[FIRE ROARING.]
[SIRENS BLARING.]
[CHRISTINE CRYING.]
Let's go home.
[SIREN BLASTS.]
[SIRENS BLARING.]
[SIRENS CONTINUE.]
[SIRENS BLARING.]
[SIREN CONTINUING.]
[SIREN TURNED OFF.]
[BREATHING.]
[SLIDING DOOR OPENING.]
[SLIDING DOOR CLOSING.]
I got you.
[BREATHING HEAVILY.]
- Okay.
- Ohhh.
[GRUNTING.]
Come on.
I'm not going back! Oohhh! [MOANS.]
[CHARLIE BREATHING.]
Holden? Hey, come on! I know you're still in there, Holden! Sorry.
It's just me.
Hope this doesn't change things between us.
You can still crawl into my bed anytime.
- [YELLS.]
- [GRUNTS.]
[GRUNTING.]
- [GASPING.]
- It's okay.
It's okay.
It's okay.
It's okay.
[COUGHING.]
Is it you? Yeah.
It's me.
Good.
That other guy was a real asshole.
[BOTH LAUGH.]
You made it.
You hurt? I burnt my tongue on some coffee when I stopped for gas.
But no, nothin' bullet related.
You got him? Ah.
Ah.
I don't suppose either of you guys brought along any of my clothes? Ugh man, I smell like burnt garbage.
I think it's the incinerator.
Actually, my building doesn't have an incinerator, so it's definitely you.
So, um tonight was fun.
[LAUGHS.]
But, um maybe next time we could just go see a movie, eat some tapas, you know? Keep it low key.
[LAUGHS.]
That sounds good.
I don't want to stay away from you.
Oh, thank God.
Okay, that was the dumbest idea I've ever had.
I don't wanna stay away from you, either.
I know why you said what you said.
Yeah? Yeah.
Holden and I we had something special.
That's sort of undeniable.
But it wasn't real.
What we had existed in this crazy place where we could move mountains with our minds.
It's a place full of magic and mayhem, and where every moment the stakes were life and death.
It was this whole other world.
Shining, shimmering, splendid.
I get it.
But it's not the world we live in.
And it's not a world I ever wanna go back to.
I wanna be here in the real world feeling real feelings.
Living a real life, where you give me nitro cold brew coffee, and I ask for a little cream, and even though you say it's just not as good that way, you still give it to me.
This is the life I want.
You are the life I want.
You know that nitro brew coffee is, like, a total racket, though, right? I'm serious, once it sits in your cup for a while all the bubbles go away, and then it becomes a regular cup of cold brew coffee you spent $2 for Luke I want all of those things, Willa.
- But it's just - Holden.
Yeah.
I still need to talk to Holden.
How's he doing? He's sleepin' like a rock.
He had quite a day.
You said you were gonna wait.
I'm sorry.
I lied.
I made a huge mistake - Christine - Now hold on, just just let me finish.
I went there because if I moved on, if I turned my back on Helping Hands and all that stuff, I was afraid I'd I was afraid I'd leave Kevin behind altogether.
And I don't ever want that to happen.
You won't.
You don't need a group of strangers to remind you, either.
[BABY COOS.]
This little guy's all you need.
[BABY COOING.]
Being an uncle to this baby is the only thing that makes any sense to me.
And it's given me more strength than I've ever had in my entire life.
I know.
It's not easy, letting go of the past.
- It's time to move forward.
- [CRIES.]
They're alive.
You ever seen anything like this? All right, load 'em up and take 'em over to county, let 'em know they gotta make some more room.
Dad! I'm fine.
Fine.
Looks worse than it is.
Are you okay? Yeah.
I'm okay.
We're safe.
We're safe.
Oh.
They said it was a pretty deep cut.
- Oh, I'll follow you to the hospital.
- No! No.
Luke just called, he's on his way home.
You should be here.
I didn't tell him.
I I didn't know what to tell him.
We tell him the truth.
- No more secrets.
- Okay.
We're ready to move him now.
Okay, I I'm gonna I'm I'm gonna ride with him.
Okay.
He's gonna be all right.
You saved his life.
We'll clear out before the media's tipped off.
It should buy you some time until we best figure out how to explain - whatever the hell happened here.
- [SIREN BEEPS.]
You don't have to cover for us.
Someone's gonna have to.
[BOTH SIGHING.]
[PHONE BUZZING.]
Hey.
I'm I'm really glad you called.
WILLA: I didn't know if I should call you or come see you.
In person.
/I I wanted to come see you, but not the way we left it.
[SIGHS.]
I was nervous, I guess.
Yeah.
I did it.
Willa, I I fixed it.
Whatever threat we unleashed, it it can't hurt us anymore.
Neither can Hollow Sky.
What happened? [STOVE CLICKS ON PHONE.]
A lot's happened, Holden.
HOLDEN: Yeah.
I'm sorry.
I should've been honest with you, about Charlie, about all of it.
The last thing I I ever wanted to do was to hurt you.
It did hurt.
You know, you were the one thing tying me to the real world.
You were my life raft to keep me from sinking.
But not anymore? I think I can have a fresh start.
Leaving behind Hollow Sky and the Realm.
What about us? Maybe us too.
I don't know, maybe it only works if it's everything.
Or nothing.
I I I don't want it to be nothing.
Maybe you're right.
Maybe we were wrong to jump into something we didn't fully understand.
- [KETTLE WHISTLING.]
- Maybe it was Willa? [WHISTLING CONTINUES.]
- Oh no.
Arthur? - HOLDEN: Willa, what's happening? Arthur! [WHISTLING CONTINUES.]
Willa, are you there? Arthur! Arthur, where are you? Willa.
Oh my God.
- [YELLING.]
Arthur, are you here? - Willa? HOLDEN: What happened? Willa? No.
Oh no.
[SCREAMING.]
Shh.
Shh.
HOLDEN: Willa? Willa, say something! Willa! - What's going on? Willa! - [KETTLE WHISTLING.]
[KETTLE WHISTLING.]
What the hell happened?
