Portal detected.
Oh!
Pull the plu--
[disc jockey] Hey, you rockers and rollers.
You're tuned in to the one and only Midnight Metal Hour on 96X with me,
Midnight Mike Steel. We've got some breaking news
hotter than a pyro malfunction at a KISS concert.
[power outage sound]
I'm being told there's a significant explosion near the military base.
[explosion]
An 18-wheeler has jackknifed on Cooper Road,
[truck brakes]
Which is now closed
Going both ways.
So you're going to have to find yourself a detour
on the way home from the wet T-shirt contest at Flamingos.
- [airhorn] - Sorry, fellas.
If you got the 411, hit me up.
Lines are lighting up already.
Call number one.
You're on with Midnight Mike Steel. Go!
[man] There ain't no jackknifed 18-wheeler.
That whole damn place is on fire.
Maybe a fertilizer explosion or something.
Yes, because nothing says top secret military base like a rogue bag of
manure! Caller number two,
what's your scoop?
[woman] Fertilizer explosion, my ass.
I heard they're testing new weapons down at the base.
I don't live too far from there.
And my ground shook like Nagasaki.
Ha!
Okay, so far we have flaming cow poops and nukes as the cause.
Caller number three,
what do you say about all this?
Hello?
You there?
[man] I'm here.
What's your name, man?
[man] Oh, it's it's Clint.
Well, Clint, did a bomb blow up out there or what?
[Clint] It-it's much worse than that.
I saw it myself, Mike.
Yeah? What did you see, Clint?
[Clint] Some kind of...
portal...
in the pines.
You mean a portal like Star Trek?
[Clint] It looked like some kind of doorway to hell.
And how much did you drink before you went out there, Clint?
[beer can opens]
[Clint] I saw people covered in blood, burned down to their bones.
They were being sucked up into the sk--
Okay. Thank you, Clint.
Bar’s must have closed early tonight.
This sounds like a good time to roll out some Sabbath...
[♪]
[man] Welcome to the fire tower, boys and girls.
Your first stop before the real thing.
Now, a burning building is not a place most sane people want to be.
But you crazy idiots signed up for this, and somebody's got to do the dirty work, right?
[all] Yes sir.
Your back-end man will find the plug.
Your priority is to clear the building.
Now, primary search gets tough in zero visibility.
That's where your training comes in.
And under no circumstances are you to remove your mask.
It is a matter between life and death.
Do you understand?
Yes, sir.
All right, all right, Duke. Light her up.
Lighting her up!
Piece of cake.
[fire burns]
All right, you have one minute to get in and get out before this place is hell on earth.
Let's go.
Move move move move!
Time is of the essence.
Let's go! Up the stairs. Move move move!
We are in a burning building.
It is important to remember your training.
You are here to find the bodies.
And remember, do not, under any circumstances
touch your mask!
[rookie coughs]
All right we got 10-seconds to get out of here.
Let's go down the stairs. Move!
Get that body down.
[rookie coughs]
Let's go.
Move!
[rookie falls]
[alarm beeps]
Emory, whose alarm is that?
It's the Rookie.
Emory, help me move him over.
Pick him up. Here we go.
One. Two.
Three.
Get him out! Let's get him outside. Go!
Come on, let's move, move, move!
[alarm beeps]
[♪]
Jesse.
Jesse!
Jesse, you got this?
[♪]
Fire tower to dispatch, we need the damn medic now, please!
Send the medic.
Breathe, damn it!
[rookie coughs]
This is why we don't take our masks off.
Hey! Found the culprit.
Seal’s dry-rotted. Smoke just went right on through.
You know, these are supposed to be training exercises, right?
Yeah, it spiced up today, didn't it?
I’m gonna put a spicy incident report on the chief's desk.
I've been telling him for months that this gear is ancient.
And the new stuff keeps coming up missing.
Sure, that's a good idea?
He stuck his neck out for you.
You might not want to be a thorn in his ass right now.
Yeah, alright, I hear you.
Watch this.
Hey, Smokey!
[men laugh]
Hey...
Cap, thanks for saving my ass out there.
Yeah.
Piece of cake. Right?
[Duke laughs]
Sweet kid.
It happened again.
What?
Cut the shit, man.
You saw me freeze up back there.
Yeah, but you pulled out of it.
This time.
[watch buzzes]
Shit, I’m late.
Oh, whoa whoa whoa whoa...
don't tell me you finally decided to go out and have fun without me.
No, I got Charlie this weekend.
Oh, shit.
So Ashley finally decided to come through.
Yeah, well, trial run. So we'll see.
Just keep doing what you're doing and everything will work itself out.
Oh, hey...
Bring him by Herby-K’s tomorrow. Crew's going for lunch.
Be great to see him.
Yeah, I could do that.
But only if you wear that red dress I like.
Oh, it's a date.
See you, bud.
See you.
[truck engine starts]
[♪]
[door opens]
You're an hour late.
Look, there was an accident at the fire hou--
You want unsupervised weekends, but you can't show up on time?
He needs you, Jesse.
I need you
to step up.
All right.
Okay.
It won't happen again.
Hey, buddy.
Bye, mom. Love you.
I love you, honey.
I need him back Sunday morning.
He's got homework to finish.
[door closes]
[country music plays]
What are you listening to?
A podcast.
What's it called?
Strange, Dark & Mysterious.
So you're, still into Bigfoot and all that stuff then, eh?
It's cryptids.
Cryptids?
Cryptids.
Okay.
All right.
Cool.
I will then, just...
get home, thaw out the steaks...
Just, maybe...
rub them in some dirt first.
What are you saying?
Huh? No-Nothing. Nothing.
I was just...
Seeing if you were listening to me.
[grill sizzling]
Can I borrow your phone charger? I left mine at home.
Yeah, give it to me.
I’ll go plug it in.
[Charlie] Holy shit.
[♪]
Dad, dad!
What the hell are you going on about?
Look!
What in the--
It’s like those UFOs you're always talking about.
They called UAP’s now.
Oh.
Looks like it went over by the old military base.
[truck engine rumbles]
[♪]
Look at this!
The heck is it?
[♪]
Show's over.
Come on. Let's get outta here, it just started raining.
Shit.
What?
I left the steaks on the grill.
We just saw the possible existence of extraterrestrial life,
and you're concerned about some steaks?
[truck honks]
Charlie!
You're gonna love this spot.
Slow down, you damn kids!
Hey, you almost hit those guys.
Serves them right.
Shouldn’t standing the damn road like that.
Shit. Get in the truck before we get run over.
[engine shuts off]
Never seen the gate locked up.
Been fishing out here for years.
It's probably closed for a reason.
Let's just go.
No way.
It's my honey hole.
Your what?
This will just take a second.
Lord.
[crickets chirping]
Oh my gosh!
[swamp bugs chirp loudly]
What do you think?
It's...
It's really...
It's rustic.
I love it out here.
Are you trying to kiss me?
What? No, no.
I mean, I thought about it, but that's not why I brought you out here.
Then why did you bring me out here to your “honey hole”?
Because...
it's rustic.
Oh.
Damn it.
Well?
Oh...
[swamp bugs fade]
You hear that?
I don't hear anything.
Exactly.
Maybe a storm's coming.
[♪]
Look!
What the shit?!
[creature screams]
What was that?
Probably a bobcat or owl or something.
Are you kidding me?
Let's leave now.
Get in.
Shit.
[keys clanking]
[♪]
Shit.
I left the keys on the tailgate.
Hurry up!
Got ‘em!
[slimy rustle]
[truck bed rumbles]
Oh my God!
[truck moves]
Bo?
Where are you?
I'm really scared and I want to leave now.
Bo!
[leaves crunch]
Oh, thank God.
[slime wriggles]
Bo?
Get in!
[♪]
Why are you acting so weird?
[slime wriggles]
[♪]
[Bo shrieks]
[head smashes]
[truck alarm honks]
[head smashes]
That was lit.
Yeah. Lit.
Too bad no one's going to believe us.
Well, we know what happened.
That’s all that matters.
I mean hell,
we saw a damn you, uh--
UAP?
Right! UAP.
I mean, what more could you ask for on a Friday night?
Better food?
Lucky for you we’re meeting the boys at Herby-K’s tomorrow for lunch.
Good, because this potato salad...
isn't cutting it.
Hey, Charlie.
Yeah?
Maybe keep the whole UAP thing between the two of us.
We don’t want people thinking we're crazy.
Like your dad?
How did you know about that?
Everyone knows.
Goodnight, dad.
Night.
[eerie soundscape]
[rain pattering in reverse]
[♪]
[man] Jesse, get in the house now!
Fran!
Fran, we gotta go!
What are you talking about?
Fran we gotta go pack!
We gotta get out of here!
There's something in the woods!
There's a god damn portal!
[Fran] What the hell is going on?
[man] In the pines!
It's some kind of some kind of doorway to...
Hell!
Hey, look at me!
No! We gotta get out of here!
No, no, listen to me!
There were people getting sucked into this fucking hole in the sky!
[slimy wriggling]
They didn't have faces, and...
[Young Jesse screams]
[restaurant chatter]
Here you go!
Thanks, Walter.
Damn, boy.
I guess you really were hungry.
Well, I'd be, too, if you were cooking.
Guilty.
I burned the steaks last night.
Yeah, well, what else is new?
This time it wasn't his fault.
Usually the guy flipping the steaks gets blamed for burning them.
We saw something crazy in the sky last night.
The steaks were just collateral damage.
It's, uh...
Settle down, Charlie.
Now just hold up.
What you guys see?
A drone or something.
No big deal.
This was no drone.
It was alive.
What do you mean, alive?
This is different.
My bet,
aliens.
[firemen laugh]
[Duke] Aliens? Wow.
Hot damn.
You guys did have fun without me.
It disappeared at the end of Cooper Road.
[man] I knew they was out there messing around with
something again.
‘Cause it wouldn’t be the first time.
Oh lord.
Blackguard bought that land six months ago.
Why the hell else would they be out there in the middle of nowhere
if they weren't up to no good?
All right, on that note,
I'm out.
I've got a hot date with a nap.
And by “nap”, he means “casino”.
[firemen laugh]
Screw you.
Charlie, it was good to see you. Jesse I'll see you later.
Oh, wait, Charlie.
Hey, put in a good word with the aliens for me, okay?
You can't hide from the truth, Duke.
Your government lies to you.
Okay.
What do you think's going on out there, Herby?
I don't know.
One day, a bunch of people just up and died.
They were blown to shit.
Body parts just hanging from trees.
Hell, they found a bloody torso down there by the Johnson farm.
Okay, Herby, that's enough.
Let him finish.
Of course, they denied it.
Covered it up.
Those bastards.
But your daddy knew, Jesse.
He knew damn well.
The amount of stuff he saw that day,
no wonder he lost his goddamn mind.
I said that's enough!
[♪]
Get your coat.
Let's go.
[♪]
You've been selected!
The signs of darkness are upon us again!
Glory be to the one who sees.
Uh-huh.
Dad?
You are the chosen one.
Did you hear me?
Get in the truck, Charlie.
It is you!
You are the chosen one!
Right.
[truck door closes]
Do you hear me?
Oh, I heard you.
It's your destiny!
Yeah. Thanks, pal.
What's that?
Glory be to the one who sees.
I don't know.
Some lady dropped it back there.
What lady?
I don’t know, she was back there.
[♪]
Why did your dad--
Can we not talk about my dad right now?
Why?
I just don't want to. All right?
Fine.
You remind me a lot of him, you know.
He was smart.
Too smart for his own good sometimes.
And then one day he just...
changed.
He, like, started obsessing about things I didn't understand.
I’m sorry I told the guys. I was just excited.
No, it's okay.
I get it, man, I understand.
Don’t worry about it.
Sorry I snapped at you.
I mean,...
we know what we saw, right?
Phone’s all charged up.
[♪]
Oh, what the hell?
Check that place out over there.
[♪]
It looks like somebody already beat us to it.
What's that, right there?
Huh?
[shriek]
- [brakes squeal] - [Jesse] Geeze!
Stay in the truck.
[officer] So you didn't know it was Evelyn?
[Jesse] Not at first.
She came out of nowhere.
[officer] And Bo? No sign of him?
[Jesse] Just his truck.
And the blood.
[Jesse] You ever see this much blood without a body?
Oh yeah.
I saw a kid ripped apart by a pack of wild hogs one time.
Didn't even leave a morsel.
She say anything?
Not a word.
Something must’ve scared her good.
You think he's alive?
Not with this much blood.
What the hell happened here?
That's the million dollar question.
The billion dollar question is, where's the body?
[cube whirs]
Well, I'm gonna let y'all have it.
I'll catch you later.
No, I'll tag along, I wanna say goodbye to Charlie.
[♪]
You know,
this might not be blood.
[eerie whirring builds]
Shit, where’d he go?
Probably taking a leak somewhere.
Charlie!
Boy get over here.
Don't disappear on us like that.
You want your mama to have our hides?
Where'd you go?
I don't feel so good.
You don’t look so good.
Let's get you to the house.
Yeah, let me know if you hear anything, would you?
Yeah, will do.
[siren blares]
[♪]
I brought this for you.
Thought you might want it.
How you feel?
Don’t feel like you have fever.
I'm fine.
Just tired.
Holler at me if you need anything, all right?
[cube whirs]
[heart monitor beeps]
Hello, Evelyn.
[tv powers on]
[eerie static echoes]
[tv powers off]
[eerie breathing]
Evelyn...
Can you hear me?
It's Doctor Clemens.
Do you know where you are?
[♪]
[photos rustle]
[pen scratching]
H-hey, dad.
I got to get to practice.
Quantum entanglement!
I get it now.
When quantum particles get entangled with each other, the universe
creates, like, multiple copies of itself over and over and over again.
It's not a universe, son.
It's a multiverse.
I don't understand.
Time is parallel. It's...
It's not linear.
It exists...
exists side by side. Look!
Each each timeline is identical except for a tiny difference in some random...
quantum process.
Everything in the past and in the future is all existing right now.
In this moment.
But when a doorway gets opened,
the timeline gets disrupted.
The timeline gets disrupted.
As a three dimensional being,
we can move in this space.
Right? Right.
Touching things and feeling things, right?
You feel my face, right?
Yeah.
Yeah, but we can only experience one moment at one time.
A four-dimensional being is unaffected by time.
It would see everything that we do all at once.
It would see the start of our lives and the end of our lives
all in the same moment.
It would know everything about us.
Right down to our--
Right down to our very souls.
That's what they were trying to bring in.
You're scaring me, dad.
You should be scared, son.
There’s no football today, eh.
We're going hunting.
For what?
You'll know ‘em when you see ’em.
[slow creak]
[door closes]
[eerie wriggling]
[door closes]
[Charlie screams]
Charlie?
[Charlie struggles]
[door opens and closes]
Oh my God, Charlie!
[door opens and closes]
[eerie wriggling and materializing]
[alien shrieks]
[Charlie breaths hoarse]
Charlie!
Charlie?
Charlie...
Charlie!
[♪]
[cube whirs]
[truck engine roars]
Call Ashley.
[phone rings]
[Ashley] Hello?
Ashley, it's Jesse.
Listen, don't freak out, all right?
We're on the way to the hospital.
I've already called and told them we're coming in.
[Ashley] Hospital?
It's Charlie.
[Ashley] What's wrong with him?
I don't know.
[Ashley] God damn you, Jesse.
Just meet us there.
Hang in there, buddy.
Please help me!
Hurry!
Any recent illnesses or new medication?
No. No medications. He wasn't feeling well last night.
And then I woke up this morning and found him like this. Okay.
Any chronic conditions we need to know about?
No. No conditions. He's healthy.
What about exposure?
Did he come in contact with anything unusual.
I don't--
Let’s get some labs and imaging going.
We got this, Jesse.
What happened?
What's wrong with him?
We don't know anything yet.
I trusted you to take care of him.
Look, we just-- we don't know anything.
We just need to remain cool here, all right?
For Charlie.
You--
I got your call.
If anything happens to him,
I will never forgive you.
Let's go.
[♪]
Hey.
I just talked to Ashley.
What the hell happened?
I found Charlie this morning.
He was like Evelyn,
all spaced out.
Probably...
shellshocked from the scene.
I saw you talking to that guy in the SUV like you knew him.
Is he with Blackguard?
It's private property, Jesse.
They don't like civilians messing around.
Somebody could get hurt.
Is it like that stuff my dad used to talk about in the 80s?
He saw a lot of things that weren't really there.
Oh.
I saw something...
the night Charlie went catatonic.
What did you see?
I don't know.
It's like a creature or shadow.
I got knocked out right after I saw it.
Creature?
Are we talking from a black lagoon here or the Wolf Man?
Look, I know I sound crazy, okay?
Jesse...
you've been hitting the sauce again?
I haven’t had a drink in 13 months.
Nobody would blame me if you had.
Especially not me.
I know what it's like to watch a man die.
It haunts you.
Burnout’s a real thing in my line of work.
I'm not burnt out.
I'm really getting worried about you, son.
They ain’t kidding around when they say mental illness is a family disease.
You need to go home, get some rest.
I'd hate to see you end up like your daddy.
Yeah, well, I'd hate to end up like Bo Sepulvado.
Be the supportive father that Charlie needs right now
And stop worrying about things you can't control.
Yeah, I'm going to be the dad he needs, all right.
Thanks for nothing.
[♪]
Well, what is it?
I don’t know.
Just add it to the list of weird shit going on around here.
I heard.
You know, he got sick after I took him out there to that site.
I gotta get out there and find out what the hell's going on.
Fucking-A, I've been saying that for years.
We got to do that.
I'm going to go.
Tonight.
Just listen. You be careful.
Somebody up the chain wants to keep this quiet.
It can go sideways real quick.
They'll do whatever they need to do.
Your daddy figured that out the hard way.
You know, I always thought his suicide seemed...
I don’t know... Off.
For good reason.
Do you think he was crazy?
He's about as crazy as a cold glass of sweet tea on a hot summer's day.
He saw what he saw.
The strongest man couldn't handle that.
I saw something...
last night.
Just like that stuff my dad used to talk about. A shadow creature.
I’d have nightmares about it for years.
Last night...
wasn't a nightmare.
Looks like you inherited more than just your daddy's good looks.
I see them dancing about in the sky.
Dancing about in the sky!
The veil is open!
The nightmare realm has arrived.
Armageddon is here.
They've come to take your son.
They want his soul.
What do you know about Charlie?
[speaking Latin]
[bells tolling]
- [beeping] - [knocking]
Any changes?
Not yet.
But we will keep trying.
Hey, bud.
He won't even open his eyes.
He's strong, he’s gonna get through this.
He's not strong.
He's just a little boy.
Dad told me you took him to a crime scene.
What the hell were you thinking?
Jesus Christ, it's not like we knew. Okay?
Charlie wanted to see something,
so I took him out there, and that's when we found Evelyn.
And you think that was safe?
To take him out in the middle of some swamp?
Do you think that's what a good father does?
It's better than letting him sit around looking at a screen all day.
Oh, yeah.
This is much better.
I should have never let you take him for the weekend.
Dad was right.
You're delusional.
Please, just--
Just leave. You've done enough.
I will find out why he's like this.
[♪]
Dr. Clemens!
Omario.
Hey, Jesse.
Have you ever seen anything like this before?
Two people showing up at the same time with symptoms like these.
Not personally.
Could they've been exposed to something?
Chemicals, maybe.
Yeah it’s highly possible.
I just need some damn answers.
Answers take time, Jesse.
I know, I'm sorry. Okay.
I know that you're working hard.
Hey!
Listen.
Promise me if something happens to me, that you'll look after my family.
What? What are you talking--
Promise me!
[radio chatter]
Yeah.
Yeah, I got you.
Excuse me, Doctor?
Yeah?
Have you seen this man?
Why? What's going on?
We just need to ask him some questions.
Uh, yeah, I...
saw him going up the stairs.
Is there roof access from there?
Yeah.
Thank you.
[♪]
[engine idling]
[♪]
Glory be to the one who sees.
Glory to the one who sees.
Glory be to the one who sees.
You?
The cube will offer protection for Charlie.
You need to get it to him immediately.
It's the only thing that can keep him safe until we can shut it down.
Shut what down?
The particle collider.
It's almost fully operational.
[footsteps approach]
Who are these people?
What the hell are they doing down here?
We just wanted to advance our understanding of the universe.
But we had no idea what they were doing behind the scenes.
[Jesse] What are they doing?
[woman] Calling to the dark forces.
Portal detected.
We did it.
We did it!
[woman] The emotional frequency of humanity is at an all-time low.
Incredible!
I can't believe we did it!
[woman] The cult that's in charge has been
sowing the seeds of chaos for generations.
And the more suffering they can elicit from humanity,
the greater and more bountiful the offering to these entities.
And then they'll harness...
total control.
And when a portal this large opens,
lower astral entities will come through.
Humanity will end up like Bo.
What did happen to Bo?
They feed on something called “loosh”
which is the emotional energy of humanity.
How long do we have to shut this thing down?
They launch at the Blood Moon at midnight, tomorrow.
24 hours? Until the end of the goddamn world?
Don't worry! Okay? I'm here to guide you.
What about my son?
Take him the cube.
It has a high frequency. It’s the only thing that's kept him safe so far.
Why should I--
Trust me?
- Because they're coming. - [footsteps approaching]
You've got to go now.
Wait--
No, now!
[♪]
[beeping]
[Jesse] Hey.
How's he doing?
How do you think?
[beeping]
Why don't you go home and get some rest?
I'll stay with him tonight.
I don't want to leave him.
It's not going to do you any good if you get sick too.
You better call me if--
Of course.
[beeping]
[♪]
[beeping]
[repetitious heart monitor]
[flatline]
[fluid gulping]
[Evelyn laughs]
Jesse?
You awake?
Yeah, just resting my eyes.
Any change?
No.
[beeping]
He’s not getting any worse.
[crazy man] Dancing about in the sky.
The veil is open.
The nightmare realm has arrived.
What’s up, Herby?
[coffee pours]
Thanks.
How'd that thing work out?
Yeah, well--
What thing?
Can we just keep it down?
You make entry?
Yeah. Hey...
What's a particle collider?
Oh, shit.
Hey, what the hell is that?
It's only the most dangerous goddamn thing in all of planet Earth.
You ever heard of CERN?
The Center for European Nuclear Research.
Never heard of it.
It's messing with the fabric of our reality and shit.
Every time they’re smashing these damn atoms with the collider,
it's messing with our space-time continuum.
Moving us into alternative dimensions
that look exactly like the one we're in right now,
but with just tiny little differences that most people won't even notice.
Old memories out of whack. Words misspelled.
You know the Mandela effect, right?
Y'all seriously need to get out more.
Oh, God. Here we go.
Do you remember hearing that Nelson Mandela
died in prison in the 80s?
Yeah, I think I remember hearing something about it in school.
The only thing is, he didn't die, all right?
He was released, and then he became President of South Africa.
- So why do I remember him dying? - [snaps fingers]
Mandela effect.
They’re shifting our current plane of existence with these damn colliders.
They want us to call into question our collective memory.
But there's too many of us that remeber Sally Field is really Sally Fields.
[Duke laughs]
Okay.
All right, Mulder and Skulky.
I got to get back to the real world.
It's Scully.
Y'all two have fun in the X-Files.
Could’ve swore I have more cash.
Don't worry, I got you covered.
All right man, look, I owe you one, brother.
Yeah.
I’ll see you at the station.
Yeah, I'll be there in a bit.
He owes you a lot more than one at this point.
Hey, listen, he said something about trying to open a portal with this thing.
Hot damn.
See, your daddy was right.
Okay. That's his theory. Okay.
That was a side effect.
He thought they were trying to bring in something else from another dimension.
NHE.
Non-human entities.
Talking real good versus evil type shit here.
Your daddy said he could feel ‘em trying to squeeze into his soul
the day of the disaster.
Fuck me.
[restaurant music and clattering]
Speaking of...
[Ashley cries]
[beeping]
Hi, mom.
Charlie?
Oh my God, baby!
- Oh my God! Baby. - [kisses]
You're awake.
[Ashley cries]
[door chimes]
Shit...
Sheriff.
Hey!
Hey.
Mind if I grab your ear for a minute?
No. What’s up?
I got an interesting call.
Oh yeah?
Yeah.
Some asshole was snooping around Blackguard.
Oh, yeah?
Mmm hmm.
Interesting.
Mmm hmm.
Got video of it right here.
[clicks]
[Jesse in video] Gotcha.
Hmm.
Okay,
so now what?
You're the father of my grandchild,
and I'll do whatever I gotta do to help you out.
But I can't help if you continue to do dumb shit like this.
I told them you didn't mean no harm.
But I'm telling you, son, these guys don't mess around.
They will lock your ass up.
Or worse, if you know what I mean.
Look, I need to get answers for Charlie.
There ain't no answers for Charlie out there.
He needs stability here.
And it's your job to provide it.
Not gonna screw it up again.
You know how many goddamn strings
I had to pool after that D.U.I.?
Yeah, I know, and I appreciate it. Okay.
But whatever black is doing out there is what made Charlie sick.
Boy, you are sounding nuttier than a squirrel turd.
You know that? Charlie got the damn PTSD
because you took him to a crime scene.
It's your fault. Nothing more, nothing less.
Jesse.
There are forces more powerful than you or me involved here.
These are dangerous men.
Then why are you protecting them?
I'm protecting my family.
That's always been my priority.
Yeah, well, you're not doing a very good job at it.
Blackguard was at the hospital near Charlie's room.
Okay, look, don't worry about Charlie.
I'll have Deputy Kaufman posted there.
He'll take care of it. He’ll look after him.
I'm going to get him out of there.
They’re setting this machine off at midnight tonight and all hell is going to break loose.
Are you out of your goddamn mind?
Ashley's got full custody.
You trying to take him out of the hospital,
you'll be back in jail so fast, your head will spin.
Keep your nose clean.
Some things are better left alone.
[door chimes]
I don't trust cops.
Especially one that’s jurisdiction is the forest.
[sheriff] You told me you could take care of my family.
Well, looks like your family's involving themselves a little too much.
Look, Jesse, ain’t my family.
But my grandson is.
Well take care of fucking business, and the rest will be taken care of, all right?
now get the fuck out of here.
Fuck. Where am I going?
I don't have a car.
Walk that way.
[tools shuffle]
[Duke speaks to firemen]
Hey, if you want to see a permit, it's in my locker.
What permit?
Permit for these guns I brought in today, baby.
Must be a concealed carry, because I don't see shit.
Damn.
Look, I'm just trying to make you laugh, brother.
Charlie's going to be okay.
Ashley called. Said he's awake. Feeling better.
See? I knew it.
[birds chirping]
Oh, hey.
What did Hawkins want with you?
I saw him on the way out.
Said he wanted to see you.
I got caught on surveillance over at the old military base last night.
You dumb ass.
No, I just need to be more careful tonight.
Tonight?
Brother, you playing with a short deck?
Do I need to explain to you
what will happen if you get arrested again?
Look, Charlie got sick because of what Blackguard is doing out there.
And this whole damn town is going to be next.
You are eventually going to lose everything, including your mind.
You heard what Herby said about that collider.
It needs to be shut down or life as we know it is going to end.
Herby? That's who you're listening to now?
Hey, you just talking crazy, man.
Maybe you should just take a couple of days off.
I'll cover for you. Just get some sleep.
You’re starting to sound like your dad when he--
I didn't mean to say--
No, no. I got you, man.
Sounds good.
No no no, no. I got you.
Yeah. All right. Cool. Sounds good.
Catch you later.
Oh, damn, Jesse, you look like shit.
Seems to be the general consensus around here.
Where’s Ashley?
She went to get a cup of coffee. She said she'd be right back.
All right.
[beeping]
[♪]
Hey, what are you looking for?
The cube, where is it?
That black thingy?
I don't know, I set it on that table.
We have to find it. It was protecting him.
What are you talking about?
Aren't you going to say hi to your son?
Hey, buddy.
Do you know where that cube is?
What is wrong with you?
Enough with the damn cube.
We have to find it. It's why he's getting better.
Are you insane?
He's getting good care from the doctors.
That's why he's getting better.
Not from some damn cube.
No, no, you don't understand. There's a girl--
[heart monitor flatlines]
Look at what you’ve done to him.
- [Charlie moaning] - Look at what you're doing to him.
No, listen! We have to get the cube, they’re-
Just get out, you're making him worse!
No, no. Listen, please. Now listen.
Omario! Find the cube!
Find the cube, Omario!
[beeping]
You keep an eye on him.
You know I will.

[Jesse's father] Today I witnessed a horror beyond the limits of human understanding.
It defied all laws of physics and sanity.
I fear if I don't make sense of it, I will become insane.
I was on my way home from hunting.
I just passed by Beaumont Creek when a deafening roar split the air.
And I looked up to see a blinding light hovering above.
- Then I heard them. - [rumbling]
Their screams of anguish were deafening.
I don't know if my mind will ever be able to process it.
All under a swirling vortex of colors in the sky.
It ripped the rifle clean out of my hands.
[people screaming]
And then I saw her running toward me.
From the chaos, her hand extended
- in a desperate plea for help. - [woman screaming]
Every time I close my eyes, I see her face.
She reached the fence and our fingers touched for a moment. I tried to hang on.
Then a sudden force ripped her away from me,
and she vanished into that pit of hell in the sky.
I'll never forget her face.
So angelic, so radiant, but etched with a raw fear
that will haunt me for the rest of my days.
[cell phone vibrates]

[engine revving]
[door chimes]
Hey, yo Herby, you back there?
Herb?
Herby?
[light scraping]
I almost trashed this when I was clearing out the trays in room 203.
Must be the kids’.
You mind if I take it back to them?
[heart monitor beeps]
[Jesse] Hey Herby, you back here?
Hey Herby, you sent me a tex--
Herb?
Herb.

You’re working with them now?
Damn it! Jesse!
The horses haven’t been good to me, man.
And I owe a lot of money to the wrong people
Selling stolen equipment wasn’t doing it for you?
And you just wouldn't stop digging!
So you gonna kill me now?
No, no, I'm not gonna kill you.
We're just gonna go for a little ride.
I'm sorry about this, Jesse.
[glass slices flesh]
[Duke grunts in pain]
Damn it, Jesse!
No no no, look, look!
I'm done, I'm done. No!
No! Please!
Goddammit.
[Duke struggles]
[blood squelching]
You got two minutes before you bleed out.

[Duke laughs]
Boy...
You tougher than you look.

[Ronan] Every fucking time, this happens to me.
You want something done right, you got to do it your fucking self.
[Ronan sighs]
- Idiot fucking locals. - [engine starts]
Okay.
Calm down.
We're going to get him at the hospital,

They killed Herby!
What?
Who the fuck are these people?
You should calm down, son.
Calm down?
Herby is dead, and Duke just tried to kill me.
Duke?
Yes, “brother” Duke!
You have got to go underground.
No, I got to get to the hospital and get Charlie. We are running out of time!
You can't!
They know the hospital's your next move.
How?
Because I told them.
What?
They're not after Charlie.
They're after you.
Why?
Because you fucked around with the wrong people and found out
just like your dad.
Look, I'll keep Charlie safe.
Go to your daddy's cabin and I'll meet you there.
Go.

[crickets chirping]
[Jesse] Who are you?
[Emma] You could say I'm a soldier in the celestial war to defend consciousness
from those looking to destroy it.
This is my repentance for what I helped start all those years ago.
[Jesse] So what happened?
We made contact.
Contact with what? These creatures?
Contact with other dimensions.
We didn't know that when a portal this large opens,
it means that these beings can operate with impunity.
I mean, they're not all nefarious, but the ones that Blackguard
wants to bring in are.
So this cube...
It's like, what, their Kryptonite?
You've heard of holy water?
Recovering Catholic.
This is a “holy cube” of sorts.
Are you saying that these creatures are--
Demons?
Something like that.
Are you a demon?
Do I look like a demon to you?
[♪]
I don't know what anything looks like anyone.
Your role is vital in putting a stop to this, Jessie.
My role? No, no.
I don't have a role in this. I'm just trying to save my son.
And you will.
Your father was the only living witness to the first attempt.
He was strong.
He had something special.
You do too.
[Jesse scoffs]
I'm not special.
I--
I froze up once, under pressure and...
it cost me my family.
What if you had another try?
What have you got to lose?
[Jesse laughs]
I don’t know, only life as we know it.
[crickets chirping]
Okay.
I'm in.
So what do we do to stop it?
I'm glad you asked.
[♪]
[match strikes]
[Emma] Your dad really knew his science.
Yeah.
You know anything about stopping the second coming of hell?
[Emma] The scientists will scatter once they realize it's out of their control.
The plan is to stop the ritual before the portal can fully open.
Did your dad ever say anything about the occult?
My dad said a lot of weird shit I didn't understand.
Mostly...
he just took me hunting.
[♪]
I’ve seen them.
The entities.
Don't give these entities any more power, okay?
Fear fuels the darkness.
[vehicle approaches]
It’s Hawkins. Says he's here to help.
They got to him a long time ago.
I guess I can't trust anyone.
You can trust your gut.
Yeah, well, my gut says to shut this fucker down.
You deal with Hawkins
and then meet me at the base.
Which, where is--
[sighs]
Never gonna get used to that.
[doors sliding]
What happened?
Is he okay?
He's fine. Yeah.
I know Jesse had something to do with this.
Yes, and he's right.
That cube, it protected us.
[Ashley laughs]
What are you saying?
Are you saying you believe him?
[laughs]
After what I just saw in there tonight,
I really don't know what to believe anymore.
Evelyn, she was--
She was possessed!
Oh, okay.
And the only thing that brought her down was that damn cube.
Jesus.
Now you're drinking the Kool-Aid?
Ashley, what I've seen in there tonight,
it's just been unexplainable.
Okay.
I need to see my son now.
Wow.
[gun thuds]
They find a weakness...
and the capitalize on it.
For Duke, it was his gambling debt.
For me, it was my family.
I’m not following you.
I used to step out a lot on my wife,
and they used it against me.
Threatened to tell her about my affairs if I didn't help
cover up what I saw at the base that day.
They suck you in with the glory of working with them.
You just can't say no to these men.
So that's your excuse?
[♪]
Oh, Jesse,
- I didn't come to kill him. - What?
I just wanted to put the fear of God into him to stop his talking, and--
Things just got out of control.
What are you--
He pulled his weapon, I pulled mine.
[♪]
[chair sliding]
You killed my father?
I didn't mean to do it.
Bullshit!
It was a goddamn accident.
He was my friend.
Is that supposed to make me feel any better?
No.
But just understand,
not a day goes by that I'm not haunted by what I did.
And when you married Ashley, it just made things worse
knowing I'd killed your daddy.
How do you live with yourself?
I put a gun to my head many times,
but I didn't have the balls to pull the trigger.
- Oh that’s too bad. - [gun cocks]
Look, I know you want to kill me, and I don't blame you.
My life ain't worth living anyway.
Well, that's one thing we can agree on.
[♪]
[Jesse screams]
[glass shatters]
I am so sorry.
[multiple vehicles approach]
You led them here?
Yeah...
But not why you think.
You got any more ammo?
What the hell do I know?
[♪]
[cabinet rattles]
[gun cocks]
Yeah, that'll do!
I'm going to hold off these goons as long as I can.
You go shut that son of a bitch down while I get me some payback.
Now get.

Just keeping you on your toes.
I assume you're here to help.

I'll stall the nerds, okay?
Okay.
Take this.
